Is it possible to fork your kernels into HAVS and not HAVS?

I seem to have no trouble overclocking with HAVS enabled and would like to have the new features (like more GPU memory) while retaining the battery life saving aspect of HAVS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
this is just probably a temporary glitch, but I thought I'd report it anyway: "Backup Current Rom" option in the latest Rom Manager didnt work - the phone rebooted into clockworkmod recovery and just stayed there. Had to manually start nandroid backup, no biggie
[EVO 4G Android Development] frifox:
How the heck did you manage to pull 1630 on the benchmark? I can't seem to get any higher than ~1000 no matter what I do to this brick. btw, I'm also running Ava's ROM (tho v5, not v3 like u) with 4.1.7 kernel overclocked to 1.2GHz, performance... =S
[EVO 4G Android Development] kf2m:
4.17 breaks wifi authentication (wpa2). Went back to 4.14, and all is well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
I can assure you it does not, as I'm using wpa2 wifi with it right now O.o.

Did you try wiping cache/dalvik cache and/or remaking the connection?
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
At the moment HAVS is removed due to stability issues. When it is ready, it will be re-introduced.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
because ava's v5 has some tweak or audio fix or something to do with stagefright. I think there was a patch somewhere in his thread to fix that..(pretty sure, could be wrong)

Anyway 800-1000 was about average quadrant for ava5. It's time for a new release from him, V3a was my favorite to date.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Just to update netarchy,

4.1.7 flashed to my phone and no reboots/boot-looping on stock Froyo deodexed!

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Richkid:
I think you've got it Net! Can't clock past 1190.. Although I must say the test scores are worth gloating over :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] kf2m:
Yes sir did all that fun stuff. Also 4g just sits, and scans(I shot myself in the foot a couple of days ago, some reason the wimax module got hammered going to 4.1x, and needed to be reflashed). Reverted down to 4.14 from 4.17 and got wifi back. Had to go all the way back to 4.03a to get back 4g. I'm one of those lucky folk who now have 3 towers with 4g within a stones throw. As for wifi I'm using a modded vonage d-link router (1 watt output) going into a homemade 28db gain flatpanel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
I think that would be it! My old backup wasbefore I modded build.prop, I listen to Pandora almost exclusively in the car. I the updated all apps changed build.prop and made anew base. Backup. Which explains why restoring after that didn't fix it.

Damn Pandora! They need to update already.
[EVO 4G Android Development] StormCell:
Yup, same thing happened to me. But boy am I glad I did a nandroid backup. Installed the new Fresh over the old one then the .7 Kernel. First thing I did was go into SetCPU and bump it 1.2. Backed out and black screen. Nothing. Pulled battery. Rebooted fine opened the App drawer and phone froze. Constant. Had to

Restore. What did I do wrong? Didn't do any type of wipes because I was just updating not installing from new. Should I have flashed the Kernel first then updated Fresh? Never had my phone act like that before.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Richkid:
I found clocking over 1190 is very unstable... Some users can't clock past 1152
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigj225:
cpu tables

Is anyone having issues with the cpu tables not showing up in Set CPU. I flashed 4.1.7 and now it says null under "Time in State"
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Mine says null as well
[EVO 4G Android Development] StormCell:
Is there any rhyme or reason to this or is it just one of the mysteries of the Universe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
I'm getting 1020ish on stock 2.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdmoto:
Thats what happened to me too. my 4G got hit and sat into scanning. I just loaded the wimax.zip again and it worked. Im running 4.1.6 testing its battery life. Right now its not looking as good as 4.0.3a, but will see as the week ends.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sprintdaddy:
Not all processors are the same. Some can take higher OC then others. Also, some might be able to take OC to 1.22 or more, but not be as stable. I can hit 1.22 on mine and it won't boot loop, but 1.19 or 1.15 I am alot more stable and actually get better scores and more reliable scores.
[EVO 4G Android Development] akarol:
That is so weak. We are averaging about 1500-1600 quadrant scores with King's kernels. The battery life is also superior IMHO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] usctrunks:
Anyone know how to back up the scene? im tired of having to re setup all the icons every time wipe and flash a new kernel. I already use titanium back up but it does not seem to fix my home screen setup issue. anyone?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] kf2m:
My wimax module got so corrupted that 4g would just lock on init that I had to reflash wimax. All started when the dev's started messing with HAV. Thankfully nand is your friend.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drizkol:
@netarchy - this kernel is amazing! :D I know you've been working on stabilizing it the last few days, but do you think you'll have some time to dive into the tun.ko issue for us VPNC users...? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] kf2m:
Menu, scene, menu, save. You have to save your modded scene first before backing up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] usctrunks:
I try saving my scenes. but then if i go to another scene I can't find the saved scene.
[EVO 4G Android Development] usctrunks:
Ill try saving the scene then doing TI backup and hopefully that will work. thanks for your help
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ceger:
Your scenes should remain if you are only wiping cache partition and Dalvik cache. Sounds like you are doing a factory wipe.

If not, I have never had any such issues. Then again, I always save my scene as soon as I make any changes.

[EVO 4G Android Development] usctrunks:
I am doing a factory wipe, should I not be?
[EVO 4G Android Development] hack-a-lak:
Anyone with fresh 3.1.0.2 and 4.1.7 kernel able to clock higher than 1152mhz and stay stable. I get random boots with anything higher and see some people saying they are clocking higher. I am a lil jealous :(

Yeah it all other releases it actually showed the frequency tables.... Very strange
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
<rant>

I really wish everyone would stop the benchmark-wars. Quadrant has been proven unreliable, Linpack versions differ.. who cares. Are you 3d gaming and/or doing video editing on your evo? No. You just have no better use of your device than to constantly run benchmark tools and wait for something new to flash. An inferior benchmark score does not necessarily yield an inferior device. Being satisfied with your device's performance and longevity, over time, is really all anyone should be worried about.

The latest netarchy kernel (4.1.7) is outstanding, in my opinion. I'm not sure if it's the reallocated gpu memory, but EVERYTHING looks so much nicer than previous builds (including the king kernels).

(I think that) most of this community has absolutely no idea what HAVS technology brings to the device, but you know is it's a new term and that it's something that you want. Look at how many patches and fixes both King and netarchy had to make for stability. When you mix dynamic voltage scaling with overclocking and undervolting, especially with different hardware configurations, there are bound to be stability issues. You can never please everyone! Personally, I never had my device lock up in OC until both of these kernel developers tried implementing HAVS. Netarchy dropped HAVS, at least for now, in the interests of stability, and for a continued successful line of 2.6.32 kernel builds.

Battery life seems more to vary on those who have performed the "proper reset/calibration" techniques rather than specifically by kernel. It's not an accurate comparison if/when everyone's batteries have different capacities, etc. I think our community needs a "Battery Reset" app that walks you through all the calibration steps advised by HTC.

Anyway.. </rant>
[EVO 4G Android Development] evo-tastic:
kernel features are awesome. i think htc should give netarchy a prize for fixing their problems.

i also have problems with tun.ko and VPNC (http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/) - it connects but i can't access anything from the internal network i'm connecting to. this used to work with non-froyo kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sprintdaddy:
Each phone is different. Mine is 119200 or whatever gets me good perform and stable. I can go 1.22 but gets unstable and 1.26 gets me a bootloop that I have to do a nand restore from.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
do we have to wipe when flashing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tigereyeslalo:
No factory wipe needed to flash a kernel, just a cache and dalvik-cache wipe suffices.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toddtwods:
VPNC problems as well.

I have to reaffirm this as well for me. It connects successfully but I am experiencing the same issues as the other two users!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Mine is about the same as yours but I found 1.19 to give similar or slightly worse performance than around 1.1. It would be inconsistent running ridiculously fast one second and then stuttering or tripping over itself the next.

For everyone who says 1.15 isn't much you have to put it in perspective, thats a 15% overclock right there. Considering it's a phone running at 1GHz to begin with that is not bad at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nuformzdesign:
I flashed 4.1.7 earlier today, and I was having some serious issues. Touchscreen was very laggy, if it worked at all, was getting FC's along with random reboots.

After going back into recovery and wiping cache and Dalvik, the issues seem to have been cleared up.

My question is this: What exactly is contained in the Dalvik cache that needs to be wiped clean before installing a new kernel? I get that you should wipe before flashing a kernel, same as you should wipe system/factory reset before you flash a new ROM, but what exactly are you clearing when you do this step?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JOEOZUNA4U:
well said.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sprintdaddy:
That is what happens to mine when I go the next step up from 1.19.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thecodemonk:
The wiping of dalvik and cache helped me too. Nearly unusable before that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bc0508:
Do we need to still run setcpu profiles with 4.1.7 ? I am not concerned to much about overclocking I just want the best battery life with a good speed.

I am running netarchy rom also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tracyjarchow:
I learned that even after I do complete Wipe Data/Factory reset and then a titanium restore of all apps with data, if I simply power down and power back up my phone everything is then exactly back to the state when I ran the titanium backup, scene included. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
Setcpu profiles were never a requirement. They are just very useful for setting custom speed changes based on conditions you specify.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
running background tasks & processes consume CPU power and affect benchmark results drastically. I use Advanced Task Killer Pro to close everything running before benchmark and I also use well configured Startup Cleaner 2.0, which closes redundant apps and services after every boot. Startup Cleaner alone kills about 20 processes on every boot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmsutton3:
Boot Loop

I've got Froyo Fusion 2.5 running the stock HTC 2.2 kernel. I can't seem to install this kernel no matter what I try, I get a boot loop of the animation every single time. I tried wiping all caches and wiping dalvik. I tried uninstalling SetCPU and wiping again, I've tried all the stuff that's been mentioned before.

Netarchy 3.7c kernel works fine when I flash it, but I've really been hoping to flash to a version of it that has the camera working properly, because I can't stand the grainy shots compared to the normal 8MP smoothness. :)

Any ideas of other things I might be able to try to upgrade to a post 4.0 version, or should I just be waiting for another version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] superevilllama:
Everything is working great so far for all day. I can't clock past 1152 or it freezes/reboots, but otherwise very stable, very quick. All other features work well, no reboots on conservative, performance and ondemand.

Battery life is definitely improved, although since I can't keep it out of my hands for two minutes I can't be the best tester for that, although I still have noticed improvement.

Keep it up and thanks for a great release.

Edit: btw I am running 4.1.6
[EVO 4G Android Development] ManInCamo:
Anytime i flash one of the new power adjusting kernels either from this thread or the king kernels, the touch screen stops working completely. I tried it with several different roms. I've cleared the cache(s) and I've tried it with no app installed. Any ideas or suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
What versions of this kernel did you try? 4.1.5 had a minor touchscreen issue that was fixed in 4.1.6 onward.

Also can you do an "adb shell cat /sys/android_touch/vendor" and tell me the result?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jcallaway77:
I just wanted to say, great work on the kernel... its provided me with the highest stable overclock on my phone yet (1.22 ghz) running baked snack 1.4 and toastmod 4.1.7.... I would also like to say that 1.26 ghz almost bricked my phone... it boot looped and the oc corrupted my phones internal storage so could not boot to system or recovery.... I was able to fix everything but it was a pain in the neck....

ultimately I just wanna remind everyone that sometimes there is a very fine line between a nicely tuned device and a designer paperweight.... and if you brick it its no ones fault but your own.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Varo210:
Mine did it this also, but it worked itself out after a reboot. I returned

ATMEL_x0080_x0016

Edit: Using 4.1.7 now and loving it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
Interesting take. Though I am generally highly allergic to rants of any kind, I actually agree with many of your points. In fact just last night, I came to a similar conclusion of sorts. The whole benchmarking thing is fine for a quick check up, but I'm really more interested in how the phone actually functions for me day to day.

That said, I firmly believe that one cannot gauge any ROM/Radio/Kernel/etc. without leaving it alone and running it for at least a day (probably more like 3). I have left things alone for 15 hours or so, I am finding that my favorite ROM (EViO2 1.1) is playing very nicely with King #3. Nicely enough to be my daily for the rest of the month. I might flash something new in September if there are some compelling improvements somewhere or update things if Calk updates the ROM, but I think I'm done with kernels for a bit.

On a similar note, (not so much a rant as a wish) I wish that people would stop posting battery life figures based on idle sets. I for one could care less how many hours I can get with my phone sitting on the nightstand. It would be great if all the battery posts were focused on typical everyday use. The post by One Beast over here (#159) is exactly what I am talking about! Now those are applicable results!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ManInCamo:
I tried 4.1.5, 4.1.6, and 4.1.7, as well as v5,6,7 of king's. Mine has *not* worked itself out over several reboots.

[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
I've been subscribed to this thread for quite a while, but didn't pay much attention to the setCPU stuff cuz I figured I'd never use it. Now this threads gotten too big really to 'skim' back over. So, a quick, simple question. :

I'm on 4.03 still. If I install setCPU, is there some fairly simple setting I can use to increase battery life. Not very interested in overclocking, but it sounds like I could use a 'profile' to drop my CPU or voltage while in sleep mode, and increase battery. ? Am I understanding this properly?

Thanks to anyone willing to chime in on this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
or you could have flashed a different kernel but watever
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Yeah I don't much care for overclocking myself, and I just recently got into setCPU to help with battery life. Basically what you said is correct.

Here's the info hub:

http://www.pokedev.com/setcpu/

But what you could do to conserve battery life is to set all the governers to conservative.

Here are my settings:

Main:

245-998 - conservative

Profiles:

Screen off - Priority 100 - 245-245 - powersave

Charging AC/Full - Priority 92 - 245-1152 -ondemand

Battery<25 - Priority 78 - 245-691 - powersave

Battery<40 - Priority 60- 245-768 - conservative

Battery<60 - Priority 52 - 245-806 - conservative

Battery<85 - Priority 36 - 245-844 - conservative

The idea behind this is to keep everything efficient. As the battery drops, it incrementally uses less CPU, so by the time it gets to 25 percent battery the phone will last a loong time. These are my own preferences however, as the phone gets slightly sluggish at 60 percent down, but nothing that would hamper usage.

Hope I helped

I was running this kernel (4.1.7) on a rooted stock rom (deox) with no issues. I started playing around with CM 6.0.0 RC2 and when I installed this kernel my touch screen wouldn't do anything so I had to pull the battery and do a nand restore that I made right before I flashed this kernel.

Anyone else having this issue?

so I'm jumping back to 4.1.6 weird thing happened today, I was sitting at 73% battery left after 8hrs unplugged then all of a sudden in 2.5hrs it dumped to 32%

I was at a relatives house and wasn't even using my phone other than checked a voicemail and sent a few texts. I looked at battery usage with Spare Parts and nothing weird was showing up as far as partial wake or anything.

I'll try out 4.1.6 and hope this doesn't happen again tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wfrandy:
I got 1605 running the latest Fresh rom at 115200.

One thing to keep in mind about Quadrant, the more aps you have loaded, the lower your score will be. I had 11 aps loaded when I did the 1605 run. I did a test with about 20 aps and could only get 1542 as the highest of three runs.

New Revision: 4.1.8

Notes for Revision 4.1.8

- Added the BFQ I/O scheduler

- Split out kernel editions, now users have a choice between a CFS or a BFS kernel, if you don't like one, try the other ;D

- Enabled shadow writes on the gpu, which may result in better performance in opengl applications
