can someone please explain undervolting to me sorry for the noob request
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayjay7411:
It won't let me go higher than 720X400..
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
Then your source isn't bigger than that. Just set it as high as it will go and the Evo will upscale.

quadrant score????

I'm running the latest fresh Rom and I'm averaging around 45 fps. But why is my quadrant score around 450? Anyone else having this problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
I only have a basic understanding of it, but here it is: When running stock, a certain voltage is applied from the battery. More voltage means more power consumption, in a fairly basic sense. What these kernels do is to lower the amount of voltage pulled from the battery, thereby making it last longer. Theoretically, the less voltage you put through it, the less stable it is, but the voltages that comes stock could be said to be set a little bit high just for safety's sake. So we can get better battery life at the expense virtually no stability by undervolting, which is why we do it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] verse187:
I want to try this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
Do it! Nothing to lose :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] hckyplayer024:
Quick question, are kernels part of the ROM or is it a separate thing like the radios. I know when you flash different ROMs the radios are untouched, is this the same for the kernel or is it actually part of the ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cds36:
Im a little lost, im currently running freshes 0.5.3 have the latest radio and wifi n enabled. I dont know if i should try the undervolted or normalvolted zip. Will i need to reflash my radio and wifi again after installing this kernal ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jabbawalkee:
No. Once you've flashed the radio/wimax then you're good to go. Undervolted is made for better battery life so it's up to you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] whoamanwtf:
If anyone knows I am running The newest fresh and whenever I install this I just get boot loop. I can flash over dmg and then the patch and it works but I would much rather have fresh because of the app 2 sd any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cds36:
glad i saw this before i flashed, wonder if anyone else is having problems with this kernel and freshs rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdaddy:
That must be why this is working for my Epson!

I had been using v4.2 on a 0002 Novatek, but replaced it today (cracked screen) with a 0003 Epson, and didn't understand why the FPS cap was fixed when I restored my 0002 NAND backup... It must be because I was using v4.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Do you have a copy of the zip? It was working really well for me, overclocking and all, and then I stupidly deleted it off my SD card today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Freelancerx:
has anyone used this with whiteslacks "starting all over" method? can anyone confirm if it works?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lamboh:
Im rooted running fresh0.5.3 and just downloaded to. Sd from phone...and flashed using Rom Manager. Didn't even nandroid backup...and everything is running great. So far i've gotten 45 with settings from Evo Switch,great app.oh and also this kernel has over clocking. To 1.12x ghz. Found it in set cpu app. Awesome.

Also haven't updated my radios yet....is it the same way as flashing rims and kernels?

Ps

...,all the 3d games run great and llook even better with 45fps and set cpu maxed.

Anyone experiencing charging issue with the 5.1.1 Eclair kernel? I plugged it in and it seems to charge for a few minutes and off charging, then led started blinking orange.
[EVO 4G Android Development] conflikt:
im getting 45 FPS stdev 7.77 with 140 setting under evo switch. newest damage control rom with new radio and wimax. ;) also using the under volted kernel. :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Amlethae:
After doing the "start over root"

I installed Flashable ZIP - Undervolted kernel v5.1.1 for use with 2.1 (Eclair) ROMs

Now I'm getting 4G Failed and Wifi not working

I've tried both

Flashable ZIP - WiFi-N + 4G for stock/custom kernels (compatible with the kernel in this post)

Flashable ZIP - WiFi-N + 4G for the OTA kernel (NOT compatible with the kernel in this post)

With no luck.

Any clues? :-(
[EVO 4G Android Development] mhespenh:
For those interested: I just this flashed this kernel over EVO-NonSense 1.5. Had to flash the wifi/4g fix posted in the OP too. Other than that, no problems at all- very smooth, ~44fps in FPS2D.

Thanks guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
I got 45 or 46 with standard deviation of ~3.9 with the latest Baked Snack :). Running at 437...
[EVO 4G Android Development] catpunt:
Was running the latest stock RUU.

Just rooted using flash exploit (manual method).

Flashed undervolted 5.1.1 over stock rom and wifi package.

Getting 42fps avg @ 250 with evo switch. Any other settings run slower than 30fps. Battery life feels improved, but need to play with it more to be sure.

Getting 5 touch points with dotty, and touch screen response lag only a small fraction of what it was.

Google IO evo with hardware version 0002 and Novatec panel.

Everything is stable, fast and works great! Thanks for all your hard work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I'm only getting average 25 now? lol with damage3.2.3 and 5.1.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] effluent:
Got this going on DC 3.2.3. After overclocking to the max(don't know if this is coincidence or what) the screen freezes..take battery out and reboot, freezes again within seconds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lamboh:
im only registering 2...touchpoints
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Ok I tried dotty to see if this worked and as well as this user I am only registering two points I believe I meet all qualifications for this. It seems to install?
[EVO 4G Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
You're awesome. 1690 on Quadrant under EvoXv2 with clock set min and max 1190.

Thank you :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3_g00b:
when i reboot, it doesnt keep the switch at 250 like i want. is there a way to make it perma 250 even after reboot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] AssassinsLament:
When I get the time, I'll try to figure out a way to have Evo Switch do persistent settings. Haven't given it much thought but I'll definitely look into it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Woovie:
Using latest Fresh, 0.5.3. Not recieving multi touch in Dotty after flashing it. I didn't do any wipes, just flashed and rebooted. FPS SEEMS smoother, but at the same time it feels like the phone is moving slugishly.

Edit: To clarify, I only flashed the normal volt. Nothing else.

Edit: Flashed the Wifi-N thing too, the compatible version. Still only 2 finger touch. But BUTTERY smooth animations. OH LAWDY I came.
[EVO 4G Android Development] madsquabbles:
it doesn't boost anything in the phone so all you get is an unlock of your 30fps. none of the tests except for the planet even make it to 30fps regardless which kernel you use.

so 3d rendering, fillrate, read/writes, processor (unless oc'ing) is the same as stock using quadrant.

btw, even 46fps is a heck of a boost when using this phone. it used to bug me how choppy it was.
[EVO 4G Android Development] topdnbass:
I see!

Heres what I just did.

I flashed the normal volt zip in the Kernels section of the DC thread.

Figured it would make things easier since at a glance it seems like treve simply merged your wifi/4g fix and your eclair kernel, both in your op.

Wifi is now unable to start. Cant comment on 4g because my city doesnt have coverage.

I tried flashing the fix again (straight from this thread) but nothing.

Any ideas?

Everything else works great. Getting 40-45avg fps. 5 finger input, and perflock is disabled + able to overclock
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
im running freshes newest do i still need the wifi fix ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] phrac:
same here for me. The older kernel worked fine in boosting the fps but the new 5.1.1 is lowering it to 25. Do I need to do anything else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] armystrong:
This works great, one day of testing..... no problems! Its fast, no tearing and works with Damage Control ROM v3.2.3. AVG FPS 44-48!!!!

Thanks so much! Your work is greatly appreciated!

[EVO 4G Android Development] SleepyS40:
I am in your same boat, but it worked before so idk what to do
[EVO 4G Android Development] caveman663:
what do you have your evo switch set to?
[EVO 4G Android Development] caveman663:
i was running everything the same as you so I tried the 140 setting and destroyed my screen, had to nand restore, just thought I would share, guess all devices are a little different
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
dotty didn't work for me.... tried the app called "Touch Test" from the market. All 5 points showed up w/o a prob. getting 42 fps. running fresh rom 0.5.3. awsome!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
If that happens, the app is still running - just touch one of the presets (or where the presets should be - they are still there, you just can't see them) until the screen shows back up. I just did this and it worked just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] armystrong:
Now that they have camera working on froyo if i install froyo's fps patch will it disable camera?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
yes no maybe lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
I just flashed normal volt 5.1.1 on dc 3.2.3 and got 23-25 fps until switching T2 to 250 and got low 40's fps.

I am however only getting 2 touchpoints (which is what I really care about). I saw this on first page:

"Some hardware fails to accept 5 points, so a fail-safe has been added to default back to 2 points for some EVOs"

Does that mean I am likely SOL for now or have other ppl found workarounds?

Edit: Launchday 002 nova btw

Edit2: Up to 45 fps with T2 at 460
[EVO 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I'm pretty sure that checking code is a bit wonky. Most of the time, my Evo will show 5 points, but then sometimes it will fall back to 2. Try rebooting and see.

Toast, where are you making the change for >2 fingers? I'd like to add it into my kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
rebooted 4 times and retested and still only getting 2 touchpoints

Novatek 003 ver. Looping with Fresh .53

Hey guys, I tried to install this over Fresh .53 ROM but it's keep on looping over the boot screen with sounds. Do you know why this is happening? I tried reinstalling the ROM and trying to not use SD card but neither helps. Please help. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] cadbomb:
So, I don't know if any of you super-devs have gotten a chance to look into this, and I remember reading another users post in this thread pertaining to this idea, but according to AndroidSpin:

"A representative with HTC stated last night at the HTC event in Chicago, which showcased the HTC Aria, that the HTC Evo is capable of more FPS, but is maintained at 30 FPS in to meet the requirements of the HDMI software inside the device."

So this makes me wonder if it is possible to do what the other user posted... since HTC openly admits to this being an issue of HDMI software, and the DroidX has already incorporated the feature of disabling the HDMI while not in use, is there any way that we can do the same with the EVO? I don't use the HDMI out at all as is, but still, would it be possible to create a toggle application of some sort? Not sure if you'd need the source code or not, but this might be something worth looking into if it's not already been looked into... I would imagine it'd probably be safer than forcing our screens to a higher hardware refresh rate than the 60 it's already at. (At least I think that's how I understand it... it is a software cap causing the 30fps, but the hardware is still running at 60hz by default? Correct me if I'm wrong)...

My thinking is that if this is in fact the case, then this could be resolved for both novatek and epson screens without hardware setting changes. I would imagine that this would also correct the issues with screen tearing... Any feedback or ideas from the Devs appreciated, and thank you all for all of your diligent hard work!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] caveman663:

[EVO 4G Android Development] jim2point0:
What is the correct process for flashing a new kernel? I'll be trying this for the first time today.

So say I just installed Froyo (evo v9) and didn't even boot yet. While still in recovery, should I flash the new kernel right then and there? Or should I reboot first? Does it matter?

Same with other fixes (Wifi, etc)... can I install them right after I put on Evo V9?
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
You should almost always boot up first after flashing a rom before flashing anything else on top.
[EVO 4G Android Development] notown775:
had to do like a million things, but i finally got it .. 466 on evo switch and averaging about 44fps. camera still works.

[EVO 4G Android Development] XmemphistoX:
Try wiping your cache and davalik cache in recovery. Should only loop once.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
what Froyo rom has the camera working?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nenn:
what did you do? mine boot loops :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] prodigy2m:
Mine boots too with Ver. 003 Nova ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] prodigy2m:
Still looping

I tried and still the same. Anyone, any thoughts ... I have Nova Ver. 003

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update: I had to clear the cache as MmemphistoX said but ... I had to format Micro Card in order to remove all of the settings and applications.

IT WORKED, now trying with under voltage ver.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
nice installed the works great ! got 45 fps

[EVO 4G Android Development] Phyllip J FRy:
Avalaunch's Sense Froyo Rom has the front facing camera working. Rear is still not working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
thanks for the reply; yeah, i saw that, but i'd think the rear 8mp is much more important than the front 1.5mp camera
[EVO 4G Android Development] eduardmc:
My sweet spot in evo switch is 247. I get no tearing and avg 42fps. People going over 400 will notice tearing
[EVO 4G Android Development] forceOnature:
Which recovery used?

Is anyone using the recovery that was applied by the NAND unlock (not sure which that is) to flash this kernel or do I have to use clockwork?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Phyllip J FRy:
agreed. it is progress though. Soon the rear will be working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KERKEDAGAIN:
as a mere heads up, neither Froyo kernels work w/ the new SenseFroyo build by Ava. YMMV
[EVO 4G Android Development] caveman663:
im sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the quick difference between the under volted kernel and the normal volted kernel? is it just a difference between overclocking?
[EVO 4G Android Development] oOflyeyesOo:
So, the camera is working in all of the versions? It even works for the wireless N version that is undervolted? Just wondering which one I should pick to install. And I can just flash this, and it wont effect the rom im using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
super noob question but just going to ask haven't really messed with this stuff yet.. how do you if you have a novatek panel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
My camera works fine with undervolted eclair version

check version with either dmesg | grep novatec or dmesg | grep epson in shell
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
a quick and fast way is by using the power control widget; on the widget, once you press the brightness icon, if the change is instant, then it is Epson. If the change fades, then it's Novatek
[EVO 4G Android Development] nswenson:
The under volt version will use less battery and run a bit cooler; however some devices will experience random restarts or failed boot with the under volt. There are variations in the fabrication of CPUs that effect efficiency and overclockability. You should first try the under volt one and check if it's stable. If not, try the other one.

Camera in DC 3.2.3

Hi XDA!!

First I would like to say thank you to all the devs for all these awesome hacks/mods/roms/apps. Keep up the good work!!

Now...I was wondering if anyone is having an issue with their camera in DamageControl latest rom? The camera app closes automatically after opening, no FC dialog box.

Also, I updated my wifi-n + 4g using the stock zip file and I would like to know would it affect my baseband? It seems to have downgraded back to 1.x. It should be at 2.x correct?

Should I just reflash the new radio?
[EVO 4G Android Development] masbirdies:
Anyone notice their display is not as bright...

using undervolted settings?
[EVO 4G Android Development] icantdrawanime:
I just flashed the undervolted kernel. I'm running bugless beast v0.3 w/ the latest (2.0) radio and the 1.37 firmware. Not seeing any problems yet. Got a fps of 45 and a stdev of 6.67 on fps2d. Also getting 5 multi touch points.

However, for some reason games seem to look more choppy. Abduction looks more choppy than before. Although other games seem to run perfectly smooth. Weird.

Thanks to the devs for all their hard work.

All of you asking questions already answered you should use the search function on the home page instead of cluttering up these threads
[EVO 4G Android Development] genesick:
I have no access to a computer at the moment, and I dunno if there is a search function on the XDA app but is anyone's camera acting up? Like when I use flash on the camera, the whole photo acts ask if I took it in the "aqua" setting. If I take it off the photo looks darker.

Flashed the kernel with no wipes and such and I'm wondering if that could be the problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] forceOnature:
Successful installation

I've installed the new kernel without a problem. Everything is working. Well done devs!

One thing I've noticed is that even though I'm seeing avg fps = 45, std dev = 6.53 the phone does not seem to be noticeably smoother. Is anyone noticing a significant boost in performance when scrolling through the home screen or the app drawer?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpkimmel:
Ffolkes did we ever try suspending hdmi fb and lcdc
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
Anyone know how to check/modify the config_T9[14] manually?

Edit: Also has anyone that is getting only 2 touch points on 5.1.1 gotten more than that on previous versions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] timgt:
I only notice a difference if I set T2 to 250 with evo switch instead of the default values.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wanfaltm:
I actually notice a stellar improvement with framerates. Especially when scrolling through the home pages, the menu, web pages, games (really only played abduction though, so addicting). Everything seems snappier especially considering I switched from an iphone and the fps and touch imputed lag were my 2 biggest gripes. Now everything is perfect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kfree:
Hey guys, awesome mod for the fps.. just a few questions.

I'm running DC 3.2.3 with updated wifi/4g. I flashed over the 2.1 non-volted zip and rebooted.. phone was very VERY sluggish.. checked fps2d about 10 times and got around 24fps each time.. I ran DOTTY and was easily getting 5 points on the multi-touch which was pretty awesome.. I was reading up on the T2 settings but haven't messed with anything yet, . .was just really curious.. is this super sluggishness normal? I even ran linpack and hit a whopping 1.9 megaflops (coming from around 6-7mflps)..

Any ideas on what I should do? temporarily I've restored my nandroid backup until i can figure out why this was so sluggish.

nothing out of the ordinary, I did run setcpu to see what types of ratings i was getting and it was around 384mhz (coming from around 998 before the flash).

Any advice would be awesome!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] kpkimmel:
In evo switch aet to 440 not better fps but better screen responsiveness especially switching screens
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
460 was my magic spot. get around 41-45 fps avg with like 6 stdev and smooth scrolling, no tearing

No search for that since We have been developimg this hack, your just enjoying it
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
this is confusing can somoene explain what the difference is between Undervolted kernel v5.1.1 for use with 2.1 (Eclair) ROMs and the Normal-volted kernel v5.1.1 for use with 2.1 (Eclair) ROMs

which one do I need to install, I'm running the fresh 0.53 rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] timgt:
One is undervolted, one is normal volted. Which part is the hard part to understand?:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpkimmel:
Undervolted is better batt life but aome have instability issues
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
well for some nobs like me I don't understand what that means undervolted and normal volted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Thank you very much
[EVO 4G Android Development] timgt:
run undervolted if your phone doesn't randomly reboot itself and if it feels stable. You will get bettery battery life with the undervolt kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
how to I go back to my normal kernal if I'm not satisfied with this. Do I just flash the fresh rom over this again
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpkimmel:
No stck kernal posted on op
[EVO 4G Android Development] timgt:
They have a stock kernel floating around somewhere on the forums, I have it downloaded on my phone if I ever screw up. Try to search for it and see if you can find it.

EDIT: if you go back to the topics and click the paper clip to the right of this topic you are posting in, they have the stock kernel in there for download.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shep211:
under voltage = They have reduced voltage to the cpu to save battery life.

normal voltage = They have left the cpu voltage at the default setting.

I would use normal voltage.
