For those who flash radio image after rom make sure you allow all data downloading to complete and then reboot.

Zeppe, use the setcpu.txt that's included with the kernel, not the one included with this ROM (delete that one from your SD). Go into setcpu and in device selection choose custom. Set the min and max to 691mhz and don't apply settings at boot.

Also make sure set CPU is excluded from any task killers you may be using.

i use version 1.6 why my battery gone very fast ?

Same problem here .. :confused: .. !!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Levus:
Hi All !

First of all, i would like to thank for this GREAT rom, i like to try everything new, i had modaco, and every 2.1 release but Kimera is the Base, it had many more uptime on my Hero than any other rom.

With these overclocking kernels i had a big mess up. I tried everything, first Kimera 1.6 (I lost GPS, many stability issues, i had to reflash the radio rom to get the gps working again), then back to the good old 1.5....BUT

I tried to flash the new kernel to 1.5, and i played with setcpu a bit.

It was unstable at normal frequency, i had the wake up no screen bug, the camera was freezing with every photo, i tried everything and i have something which is helpful to some people i hope.

I have a G2 touch and the phone is very unstable beyond 710 mhz, it's clear.

BUT, all the camera bugs and wake up bugs were not related to this. I increased the sleep cpu clock from 245 mhz to 268 and all the problems are gone. The on demand governor is working like a charm, no more wake up problems.

Try it....

On my stock rom 1.5, there was something called "use only 2g connection"

I cant find this option in this rom

I got a Question for you guys, when I change ROM's sometimes my network connection doesnt work (internet 3g etc..haven't tried wifi)

On some ROMs it work and on some it don't, like on this one now it doesn't work...I came from vanilla 5.4 and it worked there!

Please if somebody knows how to fix this would be great. I'm on Dutch network 'Hi'

Regards,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Detol Loki:
You'll have to manually add your networks information.

I suggest going to the 'hi' website and asking for information

on their connection address, port, and other connection information.

then you'll have to make a new APN in the network settings on your

hero. After that the phone should know the address server for 'hi's'

3G etc

I know that's a bit vague but I'm busy sorry :P

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bo$s:

I have 1.7 installed (which has Soaa-'s Lightspeed kernel). If I flash v1.8 does it mean it overwrites that custom lightspeed kernel with default kernel of 1.8? I'm a bit confused with all those kernel versions...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Added to FAQs wake up problem solution

To all that have question for upgrade consider that you will lose overclock if you don't flash alternative kernel

Consider also that kimera 1.6 used "High Overclock" Kernel, instead Kimera 1.7 used Lightspeed kernel

Less Overclock kernel is based on High Overclock one only with frequency reduced

Make your choice =)

Does the camera work in 1.8? Because I had to downgrade to 1.6 from 1.7 because the camera kept freezing when taking a picture.

is there a specific place for Kimera 1.6 user to download Dropbear OC kernel or the less overclock kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
If it's working for you i guess the problem is the 1.7's kernel, so yes it should work on kimera 1.8 with high overclock kernel

Dropbear for kimera 1.6 @710mhz

If you want the less overclock kernel you can use the 1.8's one

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
now THAT is funny lool, try removing it from the homescreen and adding it again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] topifone:
Thanks!

So if CPU always runs at the highest speed, then the battery will be drained? If that, I prefer the one with setcpu :)

Another question: Is the 1.6 already overclocked or it has to use setcpu as 1.8?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazzym:
Should I reboot in-between the 1.8 flash and the overclock kernel flash? Or do i just flash them one after another, without rebooting?

Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Detol Loki:
Is your brain bleeding? ;o lmao

To further expand on that:

If you have the minimum clock below 210-230MHz the phone will have problems

waking from standby. Black screen, lights come on but nobodies home bug.

I generally run mine a little higher, 240MHz - it makes coming out of standby a bit

more snappy.

Battery life is pretty good on your ROM anyway. By the way, do you think it's worth going to 1.8 (with 710Mhz kernel) if coming from 1.6 (which is already set at 710Mhz)?

Is the difference noticeable between the two?

Updated, running 1.8 with the lightspeed kernel adjusted by SetCPU to 710/710 when under use, and 96/96 when on sleep.

I know people complain that the phone tends to error when having the clock so low but I've actually been 100% fine - I did have probs when I was using a clock speed a little beyond 710 but I knew it was just a clock speed slightly too high as they were graphical errors. Lowered it to 710 and sorted :)
