In fps2d it seems much more consistent (45fps, 9 stdev, evo switch @ 437), but tearing is much more noticeable than in 5.2.

Working Flawlessly on Eclair

Calkulin's Rooted 1.47.651.1

Normal-volted kernel v5.1.1 on 2.1 (Eclair)

Running at 1190 OC

EVO Switch set at 250

41 fps

5 Point working great!

7.8-7.9 MFLOPS

4G and WiFi working after flashing radio

I'm loving the performance now and everything works!

Request: Can we please get EVO switch to remember the settings once applied?

Thanks DEVS! Great work!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wsantiagow:
Same thing was happening with mine using the normal volt kernel and my problem was, for some reason my phone was constantly trying to sync my contacts (my mistake because I was messing around with Exchange sync yesterday and messing with the contacts). Once I got it to stop the syncing, I started getting 7.8-7.9 MFLOPS from before at 3xx-4xx. So yes it may be something constantly running in the background while your running these tests.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hdad2:
Thanks ffolkes! Does this new technique mean that it can't be tweaked with EVO Switch?
[EVO 4G Android Development] akrod2as:
just wondering if you read the original post in this thread where it states that you just flash this over any currently flashed rom?! omg I'm so excited to know if you did so...HTC is also!!!111

Wow, going to 5.2.1 I went from getting 41 fps to 51 fps. Very nice ffolkes

Heya guys, I just picked up my new evo today, returned my old one due to light leakage, my old one was rooted with 1.42 simpleroot method and had absolutely no issue flashing roms and kernels, but the new evo is having some issues it seems. I OTA to 1.42 just like the old one and rooted it using simpleroot, but now when I flash roms, it gives me no app2sd partition found error, and once i flash the kernel and reboot, I can get in just fine, but when I run FPS2D, I notice I'm not getting any FPS increase at all no matter what I try. (both Eclair and Froyo roms...stuck at 24FPS) So I'm guessing it has something to do with the error 'no app2sd partition found. skipping format of /sd-ext.. If anyone can help me out I would be more than happy to donate couple bucks. Thanks in advance guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rudementry:
1. Are you sure you have Nova screen? (You probably don't if you picked up a new one)

2. Have you changed T2 settings?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gman8966:
FFolkes if you need anyone to test on Froyo, I'll help out. Seems like so far the results have been positive with 5.2.1. Good job.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rudementry:
Any chance we're gonna get to see a froyo version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
Just from benchmarking, I get around 10-15 fps less in fps2d with the same stdev, as compared to 5.2. Will continue testing to see whether it's better in actual use, though.

I just tried V5.2.1. While I was getting more FPS according to FPS2D, navigating through the home screens and scrolling text seemed more sluggish than the older versions. Didn't feel it was really putting out the FPS it said on the test
[EVO 4G Android Development] rldev:
I had to set evo switch to 250.

Is there a way I can permanently set the kernel to 250 instead of the default 400. Only 248 - 250 works on my phone to improve FPS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shymog:
Just played with 5.2.1 for about an hour... for some reason menus seem choppier, and while fps2d shows the better FPS score, it has an insanely high variance. Additionally, using the same T2 settings I normally use (247/250) I am getting tearing on this kernel, most noticeable when scrolling through threads on the XDA App.

Rooted, Stock 1.47, Undervolt Kernal, 003 phone;

5.1 runs great, no issues 45 fps in Fps2d with 347 on evoswitch.

5.2.1 runs, but wireless tethering and other things quit working, getting 55 fps in Fps2d, but the program hangs up 50% and doesn't report results. I can restart it, so it's not frozen, just looks like it stops. The screen moves just slightly smoother scrolling around, choppiness was not an issue.

Hope that's what your wanting for feedback.

BTW love the work. Thank you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
I did set to 250. It was just too sluggish to use compared to version 5.1.1 which I'm on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lafrad:
If the FPS is reported as faster but the actual feel looks choppier.....

I can only think the tweaks are only allowing the graphics driver to finish writing frames and move to the next but not making the screen any faster...

I think its time to get my dev environment setup... i wanna see whats up :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] riassan:
yes i read the original post and already have this running but was making sure no other precautions were needed when flashing new roms after this has already been applied.

[EVO 4G Android Development] takmsdsm:
Same here, tearing, high stdev, slugginess with 5.2.1

It almost feels like its skipping frames to get the higher FPS, if that makes sense...
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Don't know whether it makes sense or not but I thought about that too while testing it...
[EVO 4G Android Development] catpunt:
just came from 4.2 to 5.2.1 and while camera and video playback works now, and fps is just as high, transitions are noticeably choppier.

is there any way we could get the changes in 4.2 applied to the evo kernel source? 4.2 is soooo smooth
[EVO 4G Android Development] amallama:
doesnt work with apps2sd?

I've tried flashing this kernel several different ways, but I guess the only thing that it doesn't work with is app2sd. I'm running Fresh 0.5.3 with a2sd enabled and whenever I flash this kernel i get stuck at the white evo screen. so im taking this as it isnt compatible with this yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sracercelica:
Ffolkes, can you tell us what it is that your are modifying in the kernel to achieve the avg of 55-60 fps on 5.2+ kernels?

Running DC 3.2.3 with t2 set at 450 the screen is much smoother. I did have jit sense casual enabled OC'd at 1113 and the last two times I was using this xda app my phone rebooted and stuck on the animation screen. I restored and all was fine. Not sure of the cause though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Doesn't work.

I have tried flashing the normal-volted and under-volted kernels for both damage control 3.2.3 and fresh 0.5.3. Each time it is flashed it just loops at the EVO 4g screen, for each version. I really want to get this to work. Has anyone had this issue, and found a solution. I have been searching with no avail.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sracercelica:
Make sure you are flashing the eclair version and not the froyo version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
It is indeed the eclair version. I am going to flash the epson kernel to see what happens. I feel like it should have worked by now. Also, my friend's panel looks a lot more purple than mine. I wouldn't doubt if there is an outside chance that I have an epson lcd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sracercelica:
Smart thing would have been to check first. What hardware version number do you have? 001 & 002 are novatek, 003 could be either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] XmemphistoX:
Does anyone have V2? I don't mind not having the camera and this one bootloops randomly. I don't see it posted anymore.

Can't get this to work...

Hi Guys,

Thanks in advance for any assistance. I'm new to all of this. The 3 things I have done so far are Root the phone, created a Nandroid Backup, and flashed DC 3.2.3. That's all. I haven't downloaded anything else except quickboot and fps2d. All of that works.

I downloaded this Kernel from the DC page, the one that is patched to work with DC. Here are the steps I take to install this:

Using quickboot, I boot to recovery. I select Flash zip from SD card. I choose the zip file I downloaded with the kernel patched for DC from the DC thread, and choose to flash it. Once it is complete, I am brought back to the menu, and I choose to reboot the device. The phone restarts and I open FPS2D. It runs and my avg is 24 FPS. It was 24 FPS before I flashed the kernel, so it looks like nothing has changed.

Am I missing something? Apologizies if someone has already asked this, but I've read the OP, and a lot of these pages. The instructions on the OP assumes I know a lot about this and I don't. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rudementry:

Thank you both for the help. I have it running now at 45 fps average using 450 as my setting in Evoswitch.

The main reason I rooted the phone is because of this particular enhancement. Such a shame that it is even necessary. I wandered into AT&T with my gf and was checking out the HTC Aria. I couldn't believe how much smoother it was than my EVO. I died a little inside, and that brought me to these forums and the wonderful work you guys are doing. Keep it up! This is great! Hopefully we will be at 60fps very soon :D

what about tearing??
[EVO 4G Android Development] antiphon:
Ok scratch that, Wifi and 4G work fine with this kernel (I think I flashed one too many patches over the kernel). However, there is definitely a problem with SetCPU. Whenever I boot up, it drops my speed to 245Mhz and refuses to step up or down with the Ondemand governator.

Other than that, this kernel is AMAZING. I can say without a doubt that this is the best kernel I've tried to date. Consistent 55-57 fps, NO tearing, and buttery smooth transitions. I'd even go so far as to say at this point that whatever netarchy did, for all intents and purposes, has fixed the fps cap!
[EVO 4G Android Development] spiicytuna:
None. Zip. Zero.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spiicytuna:

So I've been running this kernel (5.1.1 for Eclair, normal voltage) via fastboot for the last few days, and although my FPS results were only slightly better than average, it seemed stable. Earlier today, however, my phone spontaneously rebooted and was stuck in a loop. Tried nandroid restore via AR recovery, no dice, tried it through ADB, no dice. After multiple reboots I still couldn't get back. Flashed netarchy-toastmod-3.6.3 and back in business, hitting avg FPS of 54. Any ideas what could have caused the spontaneous bootloop? I wasn't even using my phone when it happened - it was charging via USB on my desktop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockman1117:
This happened to me twice as well, always during charging. I've had to battery pull both times to fix it. It always happened when I was streaming pandora and charging.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
quick time-saving note: I thought I had to pull the battery for it to work, but I found that all that is necessary is to power down, plug it in, then turn it on after the charging light is on.

this is based on the only kernel we have, and it's known to break 4g for most people. wifi should work though. well, you'd have to change your bcm4329.ko back to the old one if you're using the new ota update.. the new one won't work with the stock kernel, or the make-shift one.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ffolkes:
the t2 fix IS the kernel.. so you overwrote the new kernel with the old one. which means wifi will break because the ota update put a new version of bcm4329.ko.
