I don't like the wide setting so I unchecked it and now the camera forces closed. Is there anyway to use this kernel and take the wide setting off?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Varo210:
Odd, camera was working earlier, plugged in charger, and now its back to not opening. GRRRRRRR.
[EVO 4G Android Development] muf454:
So how would I go about doing the same thing for the rooted stock OTA? Just flash the rom, boot in and change camera to 8PM, and flash this kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TREmp77:
Yeah try it the same way with the stock rooted rom...get into your settings change it then flash the kernal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] elas123:
Installed new kernel now streaming music skips and cuts out a lot. Anyone else get this
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyrnight:
Yea.. just go to settings/applications and find camera and clear the cache..
[EVO 4G Android Development] AzN1337c0d3r:
This makes you lose 8 MP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] AzN1337c0d3r:
For people who are complaining about only getting 3 MP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] clamknuckle:
How are you guys getting this to work on the newest Fresh?? When I install the kernel I just get a bootloop.

Load version 3.7.6b

sent via my evo running ava-froyov3 overclocked!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rhunt56:
I flashed 3.7.6c last night and now my wireless tether works. I'm using s3vo 1.2 *Froyo 2.2 FRF91* *Sense*

But I noticed the images on the camer viewer were oriented the wrong direction. The pictures come out with the correct orientation but just the viewer was wrong. I have the timestamp enabled and now it shows up in the corner where the Sprint logo is on the face of the phone and the time and date are as if that side is bottom right of the viewer. I cycled the screen size and it FC'd. I deleted the data for the camera in application settings and now it all seems to work fine, except it is definitely 3mp. It was definitely 8mp prior to flashing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MILH0U5E:
That version isn't in the op, can you upload a link?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] unit713:
+1 to the link to 3.7.6b
[EVO 4G Android Development] strongsteve:
4G is off the chains with this ROM and Kernel.. now we just need that camera back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ChewieTobbacca:
Okay so I just figured it out for my phone, how to preserve 8MP.

Before you flash this kernel, set your camera to 8MP. Take a pic and examine the photo to make sure - size and resolution should be nice and big.

Now, after I flashed the kernel, I went back to the camera - it says 3MP. However, take a photo and examine the size and resolution - for me, it preserved the 8MP resolution and size. This is both with Ava RevA as well as the OTA release Froyo rooted both with this kernel installed over.

I also tested where I left it at 3MP before flashing this kernel over it... and lo and behold, the camera was at 3MP only.

So this is sooo awesome. Got to keep all the benefits of this kernel + 8MP camera + FroYo
[EVO 4G Android Development] fachadick:
Nice - which ROM are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Doward:
I may have missed it - is there a github / svn of the kernel sources?
[EVO 4G Android Development] unit713:
For some reason my work filter is blocking the kernel-download link. :mad:

I'll just download it from the xda app
[EVO 4G Android Development] S4Rs:
is there a way to get a list of what has been modified in kernal 3.7.6c?

From what I understand this kernal allows:

1) FPS greater than 30

2) allows for overclocking another 150MHz

3) removes Perflock so you dont have to in setCPU,

4) allows wifi tether 2.05 pre6 to work

What it breaks:

1) Funky Camera bugs

I didn't use the modified kernal in my 2.1 rom because the FPS and overclocking weren't worth the issues. I am thinking I will do the same and wait till the next kernal update after HTC releases the stock source. I use setCPU to throttle and get better battery life, but disabling Perlock after every reboot isn't that big of a deal for me right now. Perhaps if there are other pro's missing from my list I will change my mind.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xweaponx:
I have confirmed this. The before & after picture was the same size and resolution even though 3MP is the highest setting after flashing the 3.7.6c kernel...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ChewieTobbacca:
Yep, just letting people know it works quite fine even between updating / changing roms. So basically, nothing really major gets broken with this release
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
Have 3.7.6c running on my Fresh 3.0.1 without a hitch. The camera seems limited to 3MP but that's ok. I always liked the photos at this resolution anyways.

Other than that, seems easy, breezy, beautiful, cover girl!
[EVO 4G Android Development] YACO:
Yup, I compared my photos i took a long time ago and they are all 2048x1216... Which i'm guessing is 8MB.
[EVO 4G Android Development] manup456:
My phone is running great but I do miss this kernal just I use the camera a lot and need that fully working, but as soon as the update is posted im back. Has there been any eta?

Great work!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] themod:
I keep seeing people say that the phone states 3MP, but it is still shooting at 8MP. If you go in and change settings in the camera, it will shoot at 3MP, not 8. I have confirmed the resolution of pictures taken through both Windows explorer (properties) and PS CS3. As a simple guide if you're not sure, 1MP - 1 million pixels. So, multiply width x height and divide by 1,000,000. Just for reference, 8MP resolution is 3264x2448 if shooting in standard aspect ratio (not "widescreen"). 3264x2448/1000000=7.99. Just an FYI...
[EVO 4G Android Development] fachadick:
2048x1216 is 3MP....just sayin
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lappie2010:
I noticed when I downloaded, its said it was 3.7.6c, but when I go into SetCPU it says im running 3.7.6b. Is that right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
same with me but it says it under software information.
[EVO 4G Android Development] getinked:
mine is saying this also...i'm assuming it says b but really is c b/c when i recover the htckernel and then recover c manually it still says b.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BrianBusby2038:
Yes, you're version is right, Netarchy forgot to change the tag from b to c when he posted the current version
[EVO 4G Android Development] clamknuckle:
Ok, on Fresh 3.1, 3.7.6b causes the sd card not to read (I have an ext partition), and 3.7.6c forces my phone into a boot loader loop. Anyone have any ideas, or do I just need to wait for a fresh compatible kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Your right, if you tried to change the setting, it will change it to 3MP but if you don't try to change it, it will shot at 8MP. Also on a side note, if you do a wipe, it will revert back to 8MP ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
How is battery life with this kernel and fresh 3.1.01? Does it increase or decrease?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5505915/netarchy-fresh_froyo.zip

Here's netarchys kernel for fresh users
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
Where did you get this from? Didn't see it on the first page. Already download the one on the first page and installed it on fresh rom, what's the difference in the one you posted? I was also able to overclock my evo with 115 and so far no issues with my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
its repackaged with fresh's ramdisk and files
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
So this haven't been released from net himself? Since everything is running smooth with the kernel from page one do you think i should switch to the one you provided?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
Not to my knowledge its for fresh 3+ users he stated in op that the froyo kernel may not be fully compatible with fresh without repackaging it with flipz ramdisk
[EVO 4G Android Development] zunteck:
Why when I flashed the latest kernel from netarchy ...it shows the b kernel not the c....and I'm flashing the C kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] TorxT3D:

I'm only seeing it in a video or something like the Hypnotoad app from the market. Doesn't seem at all noticeable under normal use otherwise.
[EVO 4G Android Development] acrh2:
Nope. Tried turning on and off 10 times.

3.1 kernel, 003 epson, stock rooted with EnamoRed theme on top.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
the slight tearing is way lesssss noticeable... pretty much just in landscape 0003Epson
[EVO 4G Android Development] nol3n:
Found it with hypnotoad app...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Android Believer:
I'm seeing a flicker effect too. In the extreme of it, I might see lines pop up on the screen vertically. I don't even have to be moving anything for it to occur. If you just stare at the black on your home screnn, you may be able to see it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] THunDA:
same here but working fantastic now!!

edit..

Just changed to the kernel posted in DC's thread for DC roms and im getting 52-53 fps now with no tearing..
[EVO 4G Android Development] acrh2:
Now I'm seeing flickering too.

EDIT:

And now it's completely gone.

We aren't going to damage our lcds, are we?
[EVO 4G Android Development] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
I sure hope not. I was flicker free and now I have flicker. Here is to hoping that there is a fix soon.

Also just a thought what would happen if we used both fps fixes together the tearing one and the non tearing one. We would need to rebuild the kernel but it might in theory give us 80fps 30 non tearing non flicker and 50 tearing. just a thought.
[EVO 4G Android Development] acrh2:
Omg, I just tried 3.0. It's SO SMOOTH!

It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
It's possible that the sweet spot could end up being in the mid 40's for that balance between framerate and tearing.

If you're getting flicker and you're uncomfortable with it, jump to another revision, 3.0 and 3.1 are very much in-progress testing builds.

:)

[EVO 4G Android Development] nsolo1717:
hope i'm not cluttering the thread , but i just flashed the latest kernal with the approximate 50fps on my epson v003 using bugless beast v.03 and it works absolutely smooth so far with no tearing. Very much appreciated and great work OP. You and others here are the reason i never thought of returning my phone and looking forward to more magic. Thanks again.

P.S. There is a little bit of tearing when scrolling through the apps and in certain menu screens but overall a big improvement over the last kernal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] acrh2:
If you are using 3.1, try 3.0 - IT'S SO FLUFFY!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ilovemytilt1:
I'm using the 3.1 version and man I gotta say thank you. Also so far no bugs norscreen tearing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
New build up, revision 3.2

Tearing should *hopefully* be nonexistant or extremely minimized. Flicker issue should be gone as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sblum:
Just flashed 3.0 for the first time, then as I am reading you update to 3.2! 3.0 is looking pretty good already on Fresh .5.3.

At this point it seems like a noob question, but how to I actually see what framerate I am getting? The performance increase is obvious with general use, but I would like to contribute some data to the thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
Fps2d is pretty commonly used, as is Gears.

I'd estimate you should expect about 49-51fps in the current build.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sblum:
Went from awesome performance and mid-40's FPS (using 3.0) to high 20's when I flashed 3.2.

Edit: Cycled my screen several times and looks like it kicked in... 50 fps! Awesome work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
Ahh yes, I haven't gotten around to putting in code to set it automatically on boot, hence the screen cycle is still currently needed ;D
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
I'm really confused. I used the 3.7.6c and when I check the System >About Phone > Software Information, I see:

Kernel version:

2.6.29-netarchy-toastmod-froyoized-3.7.6b natas@64bit-evil #8

So, is this the "C" or "b" kernel?

Nevermind, didn't read all 219 pages of this post.

Um, what's up with the 3Mp camera? Where is the 8Mp? I want that back.

Where can I get the original stock 2.2 kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fazzmanic:
+1 We have to wait for htc to release the kernel source our for toast to come up with something clever.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fazzmanic:
Re flash the rom of choice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
3.7.6c has worked fine for me.

The 8mp/3mp thing has been covered quite extensively. Its possible you are still capturing 8mp.

As for the stock kernel, ava had it up in his thread I believe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
Yeah, kinda figured that was my choice.

So, no kernels that don't eat the freakin' battery life then?

the stock 2.2 kernel dropped my battery from 100% to 78% while the device was not being used in less than 10 minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BrianBusby2038:
I just flashed the one from bcnice20's post overtop fresh 3.1.0.4 and it's working great other than the 3mb camera issue.Wireless Tether,fps unlock and overclocking are all there.I tried netarchy's 3.7.6c on Fresh last night and got stuck in a boot loop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
That is definitely not the stock kernels fault. You have either some battery calibration issues, or some background processes running your cpu constantly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
Could you explain "battery calibration issues"?

Is there an application that tells me what is using how much battery life?

I need to go back to the stock kernel any way since I want the 8mp camera back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
haha I just hit 17.9 on nenamark with fresh n tht kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] seventyfive:
So it sounds like we can just flash back to the stock kernel, select 8mp, then flash back to the 3.7.6c kernel and we'll have an 8mp camera?

Is there any way to lock it at 8mp? What about using adb to change the setting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BAleR:
Why on earth does anybody want 8MP'S?? Not tryin to be mean but, what are you veiwing these pics on a 60" plasma tv??
[EVO 4G Android Development] TREmp77:
No of course not...mine is a 50" lcd
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
I'm not buying that. Before I flashed the netarchy kernel I verified that I had 8mp, now after the kernel flash, I have 3mp.

I think the kernel is not working as expected or it only accounts for 3mp.
[EVO 4G Android Development] seventyfive:
Why do I want a 4.3", 1.15ghz, 512mb, hacked kernel, hacked rom, froyo phone? I could settle for an iphone but i want want want. it's to have the best, to have fun, it's for the lulz.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tj.iscool:
I paid for an 8MP phone *shrugs*
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
This shows that, for me at least, the camera is SHOWING 3mp but taking pictures in 8. For anyone that finds that hard to believe.. screenshots!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vandam500:

[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
It's really a shame how people don't read anything. I also verified MYSELF that the camera is taking 8 mp pictures even though it only says 3 in the software. I took a photo before the kernel and after and they were the same resolution. Thanks for the screen shots.

[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
Quick nub question...so each ROM comes with a kernal.

So if I do a nandroid backup of my current rom setup (stock Rooted 2.2 odexed) and flash Netarchy's kernal....and if something doesn't work....I just restore my nandroid backup of my stock 2.2 set up and I'm back to where I was before I flashed the kernal?

I guess for some reason I associate kernals with more permanent (like a radio flash), instead of a simply a piece of a ROM that can be swapped out.

Looking for any enlightenment!
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:

[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:

and why exactly can i only get 4 point touch and never 5?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rhunt56:
my question is how do they know that they are in fact taking 8mp pics?

after I flashed 3.7.6c my camera says 3mp and the pic file sizes are alot smaller than before when I knew I had 8mp.

I would love 8mp but I need my wifi tether more.
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
Take a picture with your "3MP" camera. Transfer it to your computer, and open it up in photoshop. It will tell you the resolution of the picture -- and it equals (is the same) as the 8MP pics.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rhunt56:
if you hover over the file in windows the popup will give you the resolution.

Will there be an alternate version for Fresh 3.x with flipz's ramdisk packaged into the kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] psych2l:
The kernal is also not working for my Fresh 3 install. I think the culprit is an incompatibility with a2sd, since I only got bootloops when I turned it on.

If you go back a few pages (page 118) there is a link to 3.7.6c that has been repackaged with the fresh ramdisk. Works fine for me aside from the 3MP camera setting. But then again like others I still get 8MP resolution so no big deal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:

[EVO 4G Android Development] N00dle:
yeah 218 is what i meant

if you have your camera set to 8mp before flashing the kernal it sill say 3mp after flash but should still save images at 8mp resolution.

I don't know for sure about the camcorder I haven't tried it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] West650:
I had my camera at 8MP before flashing but when I check Details on my phone the resolution is 2048x1216.

Try flashing back to the stock kernal, double check 8mp settings take a few pics, flash netarchy's again and see if that works.

OK I know this isn't the place to ask this, but I don't want to start a new thread and I am not going to be rude and ask this on a particular rom thread... but a few quick answers would be appreciated.

Which roms are the best? I had been using DamageControl and trying Avalanch, but damage hasnt released a froyo yet, and ava hasn't released the official froyo yet. Honestly, I didn't like ava THAT much, its just that before the official release, they were on the bleading edge of 2.2 for our Evo's. That being said...

I gather that the 3 most popular are: DamageControl, Hero-Over(Baked Snacks), and Fresh. Baked and Fresh have both released official 2.2 roms. Which do people like best?
