Fresh ROM 1.0.1 and this kernel = 52fps
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
2.6.29 is the linux kernel source version this is all based on, not the netarchy-toastmod build revision ;D
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
New Revision: 3.7.3c

Notes for 3.7.3c:

- Some more tweaks to default performance (when not using setcpu/overclock widget)
[EVO 4G Android Development] H1Vltg3:
FreshEVO 1.0.1

I have Fresh EVO 1.0.1 installed with netarchy 3.7.3b, runs great but in Software Information it shows Fresh EVO 0.5.3. Also Fresh Updater reports old version of Fresh EVO and says I need to upgrade, am I missing something somewhere?! Do I have to reflash Fresh EVO 1.0.1? That deletes the system dir and my copied apps.. and I'm pretty sure I read to flash kernel after rom.

EDIT:

Trying 3.7.3c now to see if anything changes.

EDIT2:

Nope. Please help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] THunDA:
Working excellent with newest Fresh, Epson, 0003.. 53fps stdev 6.76. I usually use setcpu but I havent set it up yet and it does seem faster then before without it.

Thanks alot !
[EVO 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
Not to sound pushy, but is it possible to be a bit more specific on the tweaks? What does the processor ramp down to when it sleeps? Just started using setcpu, but I'd rather not, tbh.

Thanks for your work, yo. :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
When you originally flashed fresh 1.0.1 did you do a full wipe? I'm guessing not and it sounds like maybe there are some old files left behind that are causing that effect, which would have nothing to do with the kernel itself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] twin001:
running 3.7.3b and Fresh 1.0.1, could not get apps2sd to work. It works fine with just Fresh, but when I flash 3.7.3 it doesn't work. Anyone else having this issue? I've used apps2sd on my Hero and on my Evo so I like to think I know what I'm doing as far as partitioning, wiping, and setting up in terminal emulator.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
I have never used a custom Kernal or SetCpu before.

I'm thinking about flashing the lastest Nova panel for DCs RoM, is there a general setting I should try to use when using setcpu? Or will leaving the kernal at the default settings not kill my battery too much?
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
Sure.

The defaults are to run at 245 at min (which is a nonissue vs 128 on battery life as they actually run at the same voltage) and ondemand will ramp up to 1152.

The cpu load threshold that will trigger the cpuspeed to increase (remember by default the cpu will idle at 245 and only increase as the load you throw at it requires) has been lowered from 95% to 70% (meaning that once something is making the cpu hit 70% of its capacity at its current speed it will start to speed up). This has the benefit of eliminating a lot of sluggishness on the phone in general, particularly when coming out of sleep mode.

The main advantage of setcpu over the defaults is that setcpu lets you set up profiles to control speed parameters based on more factors, such as having a certain min/max should the battery drop under 50%, or maybe a certain min/max should the temperature exceed a certain level, etc, which can lead to an overall increase of battery life.

That said, I prefer for things to perform well out of the box, so that people who don't use a third party utility don't necessarily have to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] acrh2:
Very impressive and VERY smooth:

Finally smoother than 3.0.

Me likey!
[EVO 4G Android Development] H1Vltg3:
Yes, I did a full wipe, it was clean install of Fresh EVO. I also checked before flashing the kernel to make sure I had 1.0.1 and I did. Afterwards, it was 0.5.3
[EVO 4G Android Development] mylasthope:
Thank you, Netarchy. I've never used setcpu or anything else, but your latest kernel has managed to increase my avg fps AND lower my std! You da man. :) (nova, hw 0003, flipz 1.0.1)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skitzi:
Late to the game and there are 134 pages..... Does the fps patch for Nova screens 002 hardware only apply to 2d graphics or 3d and 2d?

I didn't see anything in the first post, sorry if I missed it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Only issue I see (and it's not a big deal, just wanted to mention it) is that setCPU keeps defaulting to 1113/460. I typically set to 1152/499. I can change it in setCPU however after a minute or two it defaults right back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chazglenn3:
You are still running 0.5.3 and you need to try flashing 1.0.1 again. Then flash this kernel.

[EVO 4G Android Development] simplyphp:
I did a Nandroid backup, then I flashed this over 3.7.2a, and when I booted up I got a notification that SD card had to be mounted read-only O_o

So I shut my phone off and took the sd card out, put it into my computer and it prompted me to scan it, so I hit ok and it found a bad ./FOUND.000 (which it automatically removed...). Things seem fine again.

I just bought the 32GB Class 6 Transcend off Amazon, so I guess I needed to do a full backup of my sd card anyway :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] Land Master:
You sure that was a micro SD?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
i just installed the latest kernel. my first kernel. how can i test, see how things are working?
[EVO 4G Android Development] oreoOozZz:
download setcpu from the market or elsewhere, overclock if you please and underclock to save battery. keep it on demand until you go to test or play games that require steady high fps, then put it on performance mode and put both min and max at the highest frequency you desire. download an app called fps2d from the market to measure frames per second and stdev. you should get somewhere around 50.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Drew5150:
^^ thanks just ran fps2d and i got 52 and then 53 :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ShadowDrake:
So I've been yet to see over 42 FPS with this (but it certainly looks a lot better with 42!)... and with every version I've tried I've still had to use Evo Switch to get that 40-45 FPS. I saw calk's "fix" and tried it. Without using evo switch before, I'd get a solid 30 FPS. Now, after the fix, I get 27 FPS. Using Evo Switch it goes up to 45 when set to 460, or 41 when set to 250. Stdev is pretty good.

I wish this would work out of the box for me! I have an 0002 Novatek evo :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] doriansoto:
Flashed this today...getting about 53 fps....phone running beautifully. Thanks for the kernel

Edit: novateck screen, build 002
[EVO 4G Android Development] vudu:
Just flashed 3.7.3c...getting around 47-48 fps. The 3.5.x series was the best in terms of fps for me - consistently 52-54. Is there any reason that I should stick with the newer versions if the 3.5.x versions give me the highest fps? Are there other benefits of the newer versions, even though the fps is slightly slower?
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
What rom are you running?
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
The biggest advantage of 3.7.x over 3.6.x and under is that it has hdmi out working in addition to more fps.

Out of curiosity, what rom are you using?

Do you use setcpu or overclock widget?

what are you using to test fps? If it's fps2d, are you running it more than once or just taking the first test result? (and if so, does the 2nd or 3rd test run give you a better score?)

I know it may sound like a lot, but the answers to these kinds of things can actually help me in tuning performance out of the box. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ShadowDrake:
My bad. DC 3.2.3.

I've tried everything so far. I did whitslack's one-shot method. Wiped data... Reflashed DC, and the kernel. Downloaded FPS2D and got 27 FPS. So I have done a nand restore since then and I'm still getting 27 unless I use Evo switch. Pretty much seeing the same results every time this way... 27 FPS without evo switch, 45 using a T2 of 460, and 42 with a T2 of 250.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vudu:
I'm using the latest DC rom and the DC version of your kernel. fps2d to test and always run it several times to see the best score I can get. The first run is usually on the slower side. On overclocking, I'm going to say no, as I generally don't overclock, but I'll have to check another time as I've restored my CM nightly build backup now.

Coincidentally, whatever you've done with the kernel in the 7_22 CM nightly build has also improved my fps2d scores. It's about 52-53 now versus about 49 max in the previous builds. No overclocking on this rom.

My hardware version is 003 with an Epson panel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
In the interest of options, I've released a variation of 3.7.3c for people that have no desire to overclock, or perhaps experience some instability due to overclocking.

Now on the first post, you will find 3.7.3c available in overclocking and non overclocking flavours. Pick your poison!
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
Try changing your profile in dconfig. Dconfig will override the default performance settings in the kernel, and some of the profiles will set the cpu threshold to 95 (which results in a significant performance hit, lowering total overall fps as well as possibly presenting some sluggishness to the overall feel of the phone). Particularly susceptible to this effect I've heard in feedback are the battery saving profiles.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Franteeko:
Thank you very much for this kernal. I'm getting average 52 fps. I was getting good battery life before installing this so I'm interested to see how it fares now. Apart from that, phone runs glorious.

Running DC 3.2.3, 002, novatec. Using overclock widget.

I have a quick question, can I somehow use adb to check what frequency I'm running at while the phone is sleeping?

Thanks again for this beast mode kernal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigbiff:
Well I am still having the same issue after following the guide. It's the same issue that I have seen other people report where if they use wi-fi then try to use 4G without rebooting you get this message until you reboot.

If I use 4G then go home and connect to my wi-fi without rebooting, it will obtain an IP address but will not route. I tried to check the default gateway with the route command, but have to figure out the syntax that the command uses on the phone. (It's not the same as the linux/solaris version.)

I used Whitslack's method to flash my radios then nandroid restore.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigheadwillie:
3.7.3c is the best yet! i still get around 52 fps, but my stddev is much better. I used to get 11-13 now im getting 5-7!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] funcrusher:
Thanks for the reply. I may try your kernel with no overclocking since I'm basically using setcpu to underclock right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
Thanks for being a responsible and dedicated developer. This kernel has set many Evos free :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] ShadowDrake:
Well on my nand backup I use the performance profile - and I'm using setCPU anyway (on performance and overclocked). I get 27 FPS with a low stdev unless I change my T2 timing.

On the fresh wipe and fresh flash of DC, I didn't change any settings in DConfig and I didn't have anything except FPS2D installed - it was literally whitslack's method, flash DC, flash this kernel, boot, install FPS2D and test.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
Using the latest dc version nova fix gets me around 45fps but kills my battery faster...not sure if its worth it as I don't notice any difference from when I was capped as 30

Don't think I'm over clocked either, setcpu says 998
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikevillarroel:
uh?

Quick question, upgrading from 3.6.4 with SetCpu, do i install 3.7.3c general population NO OVERCLOCKING and leave SetCpu do the rest?
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
From what I understand, both kernels have the CPU governer enabled by default. The No OC kernel just doesn't clock as high, and will offer minute battery gains due to reduced power consumption. setCPU (when configured correctly) can properly interface the CPU governer to scale the processor down and save power, and scale the processor up to deliver more speed when required/requested. Setting your setCPU max at 998 in the non-overclocked kernel should be 100% the same as setting the max to 998 in an overclocked kernel. Correct me if I am wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] THunDA:
Great kernel.. ran great for me all day.

I just decided to try setcpu and the highest it lets me go is 528mhz..

Im using the kernel with DC 3.2.3..

Any ideas ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] spinkteck:
I just flashed the kernal ( godmode natas@64bit-evil#2) on

DC 3.2.3

its running smooth camer working and all but when i look at the video when recording i see lines going through (transparent lines) is that normal? i checked my fps and its btw 50-55, thats awesome but if recording videos with lines through them thats just not cool. anyone havin same prob?
[EVO 4G Android Development] axlebot:
I don't think those lines are actually in the video. There's a minor issue that's only noticeable in landscape mode with the graphics tearing due to the epson fps fix. You should try copying it to a computer and see if it still has those lines or if it's just tearing graphics in the playback.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spinkteck:
oh ok thanks ill check that out in a few..

is it best to get setcpu with these kernal? and is it safe to run jit? with the kernal?
[EVO 4G Android Development] spinkteck:
no lines just on phone.. but its not bad right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] axlebot:
It's not broken. Bad, maybe. It's doing exactly as expected. For the time being, if you want your frame rate uncapped, you have to put up with the graphics tearing like they are. I personally think it's worth it, but it's all in your perspective.

Appeared via the black magic of my Evo and the XDA app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] axlebot:
I love what setcpu can do with this kernel. It isn't required though. I run jit as well. It does boost performance, but know that you will get an occasional unexpected reboot. The reboots aren't the kernel though. That's just the nature of a feature that isn't really even past beta for eclair systems.

Appeared via the black magic of my Evo and the XDA app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Psionicsin:
Does anyone know where I can find JUST genius24dog's Audio Boost?

I did a search one the forum with a number of different key words, and came up with nothing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
Try hitting menu in setcpu, goin to device selection, and having setcpu autodetect speeds, it probably just needs to learn the values still.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
I use overclock widget.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NovaFox238:
Just curious... is the graphics tearing permanent? Or could that be fixed... eventually? I don't mind it too much, the smoothness is worth it, but it would be awesome if it was fixable xD
[EVO 4G Android Development] acrh2:
I just discovered that setting lowest on-demand setting to 128MHz prevents the phone from sleeping properly. The battery drain is roughly 3 times as much with 128 compared to default 245MHz.

128 = BAD

reinstalled and let it sit for a bit and it worked.. thanks alot for your reply and the kernel!! getting 52-53fps with DC's newest rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cnstarz:
the tearing is happening as a result of the frame rate of the content not matching the refresh rate of the screen. boost the refresh rate of the screen to 60 and you're golden.
[EVO 4G Android Development] walkingcorpse:
How would we go about boosting the refresh rate? Kernel modification? Would love to see a fix for tearing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Also looking for a howto raise the refresh rate
[EVO 4G Android Development] Krandor311:
I'm not getting this at all, idle battery life seems vastly increased with SetCPU taking my phone down to 128 (on DC 3.2.3). I am using ffolkes novatech kernel however, but same principle applies for the cpu freq.

Also, if the refresh rate of the screen was only 30, we wouldn't actually be able to see an increase from the fps, which you can very much see. I've never seen a single LCD screen in my entire life that has a refresh rate under 60.

Have you not fully rooted your phone with the directions on these forums?

If you're not fully and properly rooted, I imagine you would run into some issues.

[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
It looks like it's biting the dust looking for some stuff in the framework. A few questions for you:

When you're wiping, I presume that includes wiping cache/dalvik cache as well?

What method did you use to root your phone? Have you updated or changed the recovery you use since rooting?

I've had reports that the recovery that's installed via Toast's part 2 (if you used simpleroot I believe it does toast's part 2 for you automatically without you having to do it manually) doesn't wipe everything properly (and that will lead to problems).

If that's the case, you might try updating to a newer version of clockwork or throwing amon ra on and trying another wipe/flash (make sure to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data ofc).
[EVO 4G Android Development] neilkarunatilaka:
Oh dear god... LOL :D You will be receiving a donation by the end of the week!
[EVO 4G Android Development] appzattak:
When wiping, yes cache and dalvik cache. I used toasts method 1 and 2 for rooting. I started with clockmod recovery but changed to amom_ra recovery when it came it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
I'm currently running revision 3.7.2a (DC version) on DC 3.2.3 and the OS is really snappy & smooth (especially when overclocking and configuring Nova_Freq). However, I experience extremely gnarly battery hogging and this revision doesn't play nice with DConfig, so I couldn't auto tune anything to help battery. It also seems that battery hogging is just as bad when scaling down SetCPU and Nova_Freq closer to default. Also, my browser is buggy after flashing this kernel. Notification bar wigs out when opening home page (flashes back and forth between notification bar and URL), occasional freezing & really bad keyboard lag (only in browser). I'm going to try revision 3.7.3c (DC version) If it's a battery hog and if it's not compatible with DConfig & has bugs, I'm going back to stock kernel.

If you want to overclock, you use the overclocking kernel.

If you don't want to overclock, you use the non overclocking kernel.

You can use setcpu with either one.

Ok, so I wiped EVERYTHING, I mean everything, data, cache, dalvik cache, sd ext partition, battery, rotation...the whole shabang....flashed fresh 1.0.1, it booted up, I skipped everything that wanted to setup i.e. google, facebook..etc. Then powered down and booted into recovery, flashed 3.7.3c....and it does that same exact thing, the fresh animation boot just loops over and over and over....so I guess just my phone don't like this kernal for some reason...
