[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Extract the boot.img from the zip and fast boot flash it. Sorry my early early versions did not have s on or sense rom detection.
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
Ok that seems to have worked. Fastboot flashed the 1.3 boot img, the used fastboot to remotely boot into AmonRa recovery, and flashed 3.7. No error.

Here's my next noobish question... coming from the stock kernel to 3.7, do I need to run something like system tuner or one of those apps to get the real benefits of this kernel? Or are the default settings still a good improvement over the stock kernel?

I haven't run a custom kernel since my old Incredible... I've had my Rezound rooted for almost two years but always just ran the stock rom with bloat removed...
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Try out what I have set for the defaults. :)
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
Gladly... I remember spending waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time tweaking stuff the last time I ran a custom kernel... I don't want to go down that dusty road again unless I have to, I just want my phone to work well, be stable, maybe get a little better battery life...

EDIT: holy sheet... I know everyone says benchmarks are useless, but I still like Quadrant as an indicator if I'm making things better or worse... from the stock OTA kernel to 3.7 my score went up from 2700 to 3500... the frame rates on the graphics benchmarks were all much higher... I am impressed! One issue I'm having, which I used to always have when I ran ICS roms on GB firmware with the patch, I have to manually mount the SD card in settings after a reboot
[HTC Rezound] bigsnack:
I take it I need to wipe before flashing this, or can I just flash it if I am on 3.6?
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Flash, no wipes.

[MENTION=692907]bast525[/MENTION]

Backup your ext sd and format it.
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
I've been noticing this recently, as well. I'm running the latest firmware (official global) with Rezone Redux (with Funky 3.7) and I have to manually mount my ext SD after every boot. I thought I was the only one. Is this kernel related?
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
Hmmm...any suggestions? I reflashed the ROM already. I guess I could try wiping data but that would be a last resort.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Try backing up ext SD and formatting in the phone.
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
No dice. Oh well. I guess I'll do a data wipe or start a thread in the Q&A so I'm not cluttering up your thread. Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's very much appreciated!
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Yeah. No idea. Can just be one of those oddities, like the no cache wipe. I can do it just fine on my own rez without issue
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Did you try to format through recovery or in Android?
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
I did it through the storage options in Android.
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
To be more detailed:

On the stock global ICS rom and stock kernel, I did not need to manually re-mount the SD card after a reboot. It started immediately after flashing Funky Kernel. I have also seen it on other custom ICS roms with whatever kernels they were running, but back then I thought it was because I was running ICS on GB firmware with a patch. I am now on the latest firmware.

it's not a huge problem... I don't reboot often, so it will only be a minor annoyance. So far I am very happy with Funky in every other way. As long as it is stable this will be my permanent kernel. Many thanks Snuzzo for still showing love to the Rezound!
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I am sorry, really I am, but what the heck do I have to do to get this kernel to STAY at 384 (or 222) min., 1512 max on badass or any other governor I choose. Antutu CPU Master, Trickster Mod and Android Tuner won't stick, even without reboots.

Extremely frustrating to see it running at 1.7 spontaneously.

UPDATE - Looks like it obeys Incredicontrol, as you suggested, at least so far....

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
Did you turn on frequency lock in trickster Mod and make sure to enable start at boot? It's working great for me.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
[MENTION=2687835]hgoldner[/MENTION]

You know I like incredibly simple things. Good ol incredicontrol back from the days when I first told you this about a year ago.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I know, I know. It's sorta the Android equivalent of checking the cables first. (or, the unit is on and you have power, right?) I think I avoided it because I wanted different profiles (e. g. hot battery or low battery) but now the kernel pretty much handles that on its own. )

Dumped down the innertubes from my Asus Transformer TF300T
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
still running awesome for me!!!!! loving 3.7 :D thanks again snuzzo!
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Dammit. Happened to catch it running at 1728 again on direct contravention of Incredicontrol settings. Hell of a thing.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
I wonder what's going on with that? Here's a screenshot of CPU Spy on my phone. The reason the 96 is so high is because I haven't reset the timers since I took it off the charger. As you can see, though, nothing above 1512 has been used since I last reset the timers before I went to bed last night. I'm using Trickster MOD.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Not sure myself, really except the misbehavior appeared somewhere around 3.3 or 3.4. I rolled all the way back to 2.3 because I recall being on that for a long time without issues. I was never a fan of under or overclocking anyway. Just wanted solid battery life without sacrificing performance.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
itd probs ur rom then. do a clean wipe of everything. that was happening to me, and clean wipe fixed it for me
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Don't think so; flashed a few others ROMs over the last week and was having similar issues, including Snuzzo's own ROM. However, now that I'm back on the 2.3 kernel, everything is copacetic. To each their own.
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
your rez is drunk!
[HTC Rezound] kc6wke:
I think he gave it way too much beer during S-OFF :p

3.7 Running awesome with AT on my blue Rom, settings sticking just fine.

Thanks Snuzzo
[HTC Rezound] Quadrider10:
Hhahahah!:victory::laugh:
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Drunk, stoned, whatever. It works great on 2.3.

[HTC Rezound] el Filou:
Hello, some feedback:

- Intellidemand (which was default with 3.6) is making my phone incredibly choppy, it's very irritating. Is it supposed to do that? I now use Ondemand, I don't mind the slightly worse battery life compared to the 'more intelligent' governors.

- Does anyone have a visual bug when rotating screen? It shows a black rectangle in the rightmost third of the screen, which disappears only after one second or so after the screen has rotated. I didn't spot that bug with 3.6. It seems to fix itself after I rotate the screen a few times, though. Weird.

- I was experiencing massive delays pretty often when doing things like going back to homescreen, calling the recent apps screen or going back through the activities screens. It seemed to get worse the longer I used the phone. I switched the I/O governor to Deadline and now the problem is gone. Do you guys keep SIO or do you switch to something else?

Sometimes the phone also seems to be freezed, for example in the Twitter app if I want to open someone's profile pic it shows the progress bar if it's taking too long but I can't go back at that point, I've got to press Home and then open Twitter again. I didn't have this problem before switching to Funky Kernel.

- My phone now only shows the green LED when it's charged at 100%. With my 'untweaked' kernel it showed green somewhere between 90 and 100 depending on the times, which was useful because it can take a reeeeally long time to charge through those last few %. Is this by design?

I'm using latest firmware btw.

Apart from that I'm absolutely delighted by the newfound performance and responsiveness I got from my Rezound thanks to this kernel!

Oh, just one question: is USB OTG on your plans Snuzzo? It's not a must-have feature but it would be nice. ;)
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Good CPU governor / scheduler combos

Gaming / Performance: intellidemand / noop

UI Smoothness: Lionheart or lulzactive with ROW

Battery Life: Wheatley or dance dance with sio.

I suggest you run each of those combos for at least 24 hours each or maybe a weekend and see which you like the best.

Deadline is OK with ondemand, but don't use deadline with a conservative governor like wheatley or when under clocking your phone or phone will be unstable.
[HTC Rezound] ivanov13:
I use 3.7 and it's very smooth and responsive. Here is my setup.

Sent from EclipticREZ powered by funky 3.7 using xda premium
[HTC Rezound] el Filou:
Thanks for the tips!

I've read intellidemand uses the GPU to determine load, maybe that's why it's sometimes not that smooth under 'normal' system usage.

I don't like conservative-based govs so I'll pass Lionheart, but I'll try Lulzactive or Wheatley some time.

EDIT: I'm confused, does Lulzactive actually locks the frequency to the minimum set when screen is off or not? I've read different explanations for it that say there are two versions of it but it's not clear if the newest version still does that.

The usage of my phone is very random so I can't really compare battery life from my daily usage, but I'm seeing the differences in responsiveness very easily. :cool:
[HTC Rezound] iHateWebOS:
Its lulzactive V14 from tegraks github with an added highspeed freq parameter from newer versions of the interactive governor, and a few tweaks to make it work well. LulzactiveQ is typically the second version you mentioned, but that's hot plug enabled and doesn't work well on our device.
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
I will try out your recommendations for Gaming and Battery Life... I wasn't too happy with lulzactive and SIO, but have been good running On Demand and ROW for the last couple days. With clock speeds set back to the stock max of 1512 CPU/266 GPU, my phone stopped getting rediculously HOT all the time...
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
Funny thing... I am trying intellidemand and noop, and gaming performance does seem better, but so does battery life! I expected worse battery.... this is compared to default lulzactive and sio.
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
I think we have a winner here, Snuzzo. This is with the frequencies locked at 96 min, 1512 max, noop, Wheatley governor, default voltages, remembering to turn off mobile data when I'm not using it, etc. This is with a 17 month old HTC brand extended battery. I've never gotten much past 4 hours screen on time before this kernel.
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
Couldn't help myself...had to post a couple more screenshots. I'm going to bed and, as you can see, my phone needs to be plugged in now. I've just never seen this kind of battery life on this phone before and wanted to share that I managed to hit 6 hours of screen on time. I'm very impressed. Oh and check your PayPal account, Snuzzo. I sent a donation a few days ago but never got a confirmation that you accepted it.
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
Forgot to attach the pics. Oops!
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
[MENTION=2890482]RKight[/MENTION]

I did receive it and am very appreciative of it. Nice screenshots btw. ;)
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
Okay, thanks for letting me know. I seriously love this kernel. I just wanted to show some appreciation for your continued development. As for the screenshots, I was pretty excited. I even showed my girlfriend, who just kind of smiled and nodded like a tourist in a foreign country. :p
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
At least you get the smile and the nod. Last time I discussed anything I did on my phone with my wife (of 30+ years), I got a "do you realize how much you could have accomplished in the time you have spent on your phone......?" This from a woman who has an old LG Touch that doesn't work, but refuses to purchase a new phone because "there will be something better right after I do...."

<end rant>
[HTC Rezound] ClockerXP:
Hi guys.... How do I backup my current kernel to be able to easily go back to it if I want to try Funky again?

I am on the most recent OTA. I am S-off with Amonra 3.14 installed.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
If you're on Amon Ra (and you should be on Amon Ra 3.16, btw, not 3.14, but you can do this with either), just backup the boot partition when you choose what to back-up in recovery. Note, however, that if you are using a non-Funky kernel, and decide to return to Funky, you need to first flash Funky 1.3, then you can flash whichever Funky version you want. (Correct me if I'm wrong, Snuzzo).

Note, however, that there is no reason to backup your kernel if you still have the installation zip file. You can always just reflash it in recovery.
[HTC Rezound] ClockerXP:
I found most of the download links for the older versions but I don't see a link for v1.3 Sense. Any pointers? Thanks for your feedback!

Odd. I get stuck at the 4g LTE boot screen with both v1.3 and then when trying 3.7 on top of that. I'm on the latest global leak that's 2-3 months old, I believe. Any ideas?

I have to dirty flash the Rom to be able to boot again.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
What ROM Clocker? 99% of them out are fully capable of my installer flashing over the top. Try that first and see if it updates. To confirm, check about phone software info.

My wife is tired of me screwing with her phone so I will just have to stop playing I guess. :)
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Switch over to his Super Stock ROM or download it and fastboot flash the boot.img from it.
[HTC Rezound] ClockerXP:
Howdy, since I have her phone all setup the way she wants, again, I don't want to flash a new rom on it and start over. If I can pull the boot.img file out of the SuperStock ROM, can I just flash it in with Amon Ra somehow? Or, can I just put it into a zip file named ph98img in the root of the sd card? I'm not familiar with Fastboot flashing on my phone with command line etc.. Thanks for your help..
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
There is actually 2 methods without using fastboot;

1 using dd and terminal emulator; 2 using the ph98img as you described.

dd method

Place raw boot.img on root of sdcard

Then using terminal emulator type "su" then enter

Then "dd if=/sdcard2/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22"

Without quotes.

Reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik, then boot back into rom.

Actually a 3rd method, use option 4 in lunar tools GUI

Place boot.img in the root of a zip(filename doesn't matter). Place it in ext sd lunar dir. Then choose the zip with option 4. Then reboot.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Anyone using the dd command should be very careful. A small typo could be very bad.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Yup. This is why i made a utility versus a tutorial prior. One minor slip of changing a 2 to a 3 could possibly kill your emmc. Or even write a boot to your recovery partition.

[HTC Rezound] ClockerXP:
I actually ended up doing a fastboot flash. I found a YouTube tutorial and it was really easy. So I have the boot.img file from the superstock rom flashed. Should I just be able to install Funky from my recovery now?

What utility is recommended to set governors etc. and what settings are recommended. It's for my wife's phone and I'm looking for smooth performance and improved battery life (over the stock kernel). She's not a gamer... just does email, Facebook and a little bit of Web & text.

Thanks!

ClockerXP
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Just flash over the top now. Nothing else special needed. You can use LunarTools or regular recovery flash+reboot to boot loader.
[HTC Rezound] ClockerXP:
I meant what governor, clock speeds and other settings so you recommend for mild increase in battery life and smooth performance? And what utility do you recommend for making those selections?
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
Trickster Mod all the way for managing governors and clock speeds...
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
+1 for Trickster Mod. I use Wheatley and noop, with min and max clock speeds at 96 and 1512, respectively. GPU at 266. It can be a little sluggish at times when it ramps up from 96 MHz but battery life is awesome.
[HTC Rezound] scsnospam:
newbie question

Can these kernels (and specifically this one) be used with any ROM?

I have tried many of the CM10 and other AOSP roms. All of them have the call echo bug, which which means the caller can hear an echo of their own voice. Is it possible to combine this kernel and say the CM10 rom to get around the bug? Any other suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] bbgreen:
Edit: Not this kernel this is sense only 3.6/4.1/4.5 based on Ice cream

Try

Funkybean and hiro they will make any aosp base ROM (cm10.1,pacman,aokp,xenon and liquid) work better
[HTC Rezound] TheBr0ken:
I know for a fact that Flyhalf205's kernel has it fixed. I am not sure what everybody is using in their ROMs but I know cm10.1, VanillaROM and XenonHD come with Flyhalf205's kernel already. Snuzzo and iHateWebOS make good stuff and I'd be surprised if they didn't have the same fix implemented.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Make sure you download from the proper file box .
[HTC Rezound] scsnospam:
Snuzzo, is the bug in the AOSP kernel, or the AOSP ROMs? I tried the CM10 versions upto the 6/16/13 from flyhalf and had the call echo problem. To clarify, the call echo happens when I am using a speakerphone, or when I use the AUX out into my car's speakers. It seems the stock ROM does some echo cancellation which is not part of CM10 etc.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Flash in recovery and you get the required wifi module pushed to the proper place.
[HTC Rezound] d.kozzer:
Hope this isn't getting too repetitive, but I'm still getting great battery life, now on 1.2:

If this sounded derogatory, it was not meant that way. I don't mind the negative feedback but prove to me what was causing the battery drain.

Working on a small setback in the next version. Could end up being delayed but will get released.

@Syn

Sorry I was doing something else, logged in chat but not "totally there".

@Monster truck

I'll think about it. Might not do it though, see the reasons above, regarding the setback and a minor issue in v1.3.

@jdm

You can use System Tuner, donate version of SetCPU, or Rom toolbox. Don't use all 3 at once.

Thank you. No feedback is worse than negative feedback. :)
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Its just an issue with all aosp roms for rezound. The noise cancelling done in sense ROMs is based on HTC proprietary code.

You might try flyhalfs unofficial cm 10 ROM with his kernel. He had some recent fixes to one of the phones microphones, but I'm not sure if it fixes the issue.

I don't hear echo on earpiece, though I will admit call quality is better on sense. But its a tradeoff, do you want best call quality on ICS ROM or jellybean 4.2 with acceptable call quality?
[HTC Rezound] scsnospam:
brenuga, thx for the reply. I guess the audio quality is more important to me than JB, so it looks like I am stuck with ICS.

You wrote "Its just an issue with all aosp roms for rezound". Does this mean that aosp roms for other devices may not have this bug because they implement noise cancellation without proprietary code?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
I think its just an issue with Cyanogenmod in general, they have noise cancellation in source but its not as good as sense etc.

Haven't used aosp on other android phones, but if any would have better call quality it would be any of the nexus phones. When Google does a new nexus phone, they release open sourced drivers for that phones hardware. There are still a few proprietary code 'blobs' even on nexus. So CM can re use googles drivers on nexus phones (or any of the new Google edition phones) but we don't have that ability on the rezound.

It would be nice to mix and match the sense proprietary code for the camera and call quality on the rezound with the aosp based ROM. Unfortunately, the underlying frameworks for sense and aosp are very different. So its not possible without open source code. HTC released the source to the sense kernel but not the sense ROM itself.

PS note that installing xloud mod improves call clarity, however some ppl report xloud messes up their speakerphone volume (makes it too quiet) which is why I didn't recommend it at first. You could always make a nandroid backup of your ROM first, then use an app like pimp my ROM to do an easy install of xloud and other Sony mods. Just be warned it may not work for you since you use your speakerphone a lot.
[HTC Rezound] bigsnack:
Interesting, I am on a brenuga XP rom, and never noticed a echo issue with that rom. Clarity was a little better on Sense roms, but again the trade-off for the latest features. A bit OT, but will you flyhalfs fixes in your next round of updates(for both your roms)?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Yes, because Snuzzo always includes flyhalfs patches in funky kernel, and I use funky in all my ROMs. Ihatewebos does the same with HIRO kernel.

FYI, I'm working on an update to sense xp now.
