Have you had a chance to look into the USB tether issue? If you don't know already, it's been broken since the first .38 kernel. When I turn on USB tether with, say, Tiamat 3.3.8 or earlier, my computer automatically connects. In all the .38 kernels I've tried (GoDm0dE or Tiamat 4.0.0+) , the computer doesn't respond at all. I'm using Crunchbang Linux, but I can only imagine that Windows has the same issue.

Going from .6 to .8 is more than just a minor change kthx
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
Getting his file is not gonna do you any good...it's not like he got it from different source. Different Evo HW revisions have different mount points. toast probably has the same Evo rev. that's why it works for both of them.

whoever was able to flash the zip - please paste output of your "cat /proc/mounts"

you can redirect it to file, like: "cat /proc/mounts > /sdcard/1.txt"
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
This has to do with the edify code and update-binary included in the zip. I've ran into this error before. To fix, you need to modify updater-script in META-INF\com\google\android. (Unzip the kernel to find this.)

Change:

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

to

mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");

Reference this post.

Make the change, zip the kernel back up (sign the zip if you want) and flash. It should work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
After the change above kernel still didn't install, here is the new error:

Installing update...

E:Error in /sdcard/GoDm0de-v8.zip

(Status 6)

Installation aborted.

What I don't get it is - how could this be Edify issue - I'm intentionally not upgrading CWM to v3.+ and running ClockWorkMod 2.6.0.1, which supports both Amend and Edify scripts...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
systed, data and cache have the same mount points as on my system, but "sd-ext" suggests your Sdcard is formatted as Linux Extended 3 partition - my Sdcard doesnt have that. This could be the difference. I'm looking at the update-script and it uses "tmp" folder on Sdcard to extract and write images:

package_extract_dir("kernel", "/tmp");

ui_print("Installing kernel...");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/dump_image");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/mkbootimg.sh");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/mkbootimg");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/unpackbootimg");

run_program("/tmp/dump_image", "boot", "/tmp/boot.img");

run_program("/tmp/unpackbootimg", "/tmp/boot.img", "/tmp/");

run_program("/tmp/mkbootimg.sh");

write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img", "boot");

Also, I took a pick at the update script of tiamat kernel i'm currently running, which flashes successfully and that mount line looks like this:

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

so, I'm not sure adding "yaffs2" argument was the right thing to do
[EVO 4G Android Development] theidlemonk:
Sounds like a signing issue after zip edit...but then I am not an expert.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I made the change and it worked just fine, but it failed before with your error. Make sure your zip folder structure looks the same as toast's. I.E. when you open the .zip all you should see is three folders. system, kernel, and META-INF.

This has nothing to do with what recovery you are using. It's an issue with the two files I listed prior. I shouldn't have blamed Edify for this, that mount command is just expecting to receive 4 arguments instead of the standard 3 that we always use. I don't know why this happens either. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
can anyone please post updater-script file from v7 kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
I agree...in the MANIFEST.MF file there is this entry:

Name: META-INF/com/google/android/update-script

SHA1-Digest: 3TNMYnESf6gs3d07vraREpvKOUE=

After I modified the update-script file "SHA1-Digest" value obviously changed - how do I generate the new one?

If you are editing this on your phone...give zip signer a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
I'm not... I did in Winblows, using WinRAR. This looks to be the answer:

http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-sign-apk-zip-files/

from the Manifest inside the kernel: Created-By: 1.0 (Android SignApk)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
When I flashed the latest version (version 8), I kept getting wifi error. So I went back to version 6. Anyone else having this issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] theidlemonk:
Yes....that sure is one way...but I just used kernel manager to do it...worked with no issues.

Earlier I downloaded it from the op and got the error 7. Might want to give kernel manager a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
kernel manager is the first thing I tried and it doesnt work either - kernel wont even download
[EVO 4G Android Development] theidlemonk:
Try this...this is what I downloaded via Kernel Manager.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
Downloaded Android SignApk, downloaded & installed Java, modified the mount arguments, re-signed the kernel using test key pair provided with SignApk and at the end got the same (Status 6) error. *SIGH*
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
Got the same (Status 7) error about mount arguments, as with the kernel I downloaded from toast's link
[EVO 4G Android Development] theidlemonk:
Just a thought...(Trial and error method :))

If you tried flashing it via recovery, try this instead.

Create the following folder structure in the sd.

->kernel-manager (should already be there with the app installed)

->toastchf

-> (put the zip file from my earlier post here)

Then try to install via the app

Clear data for Kernel Manager...seems to work in case of issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
I spent 2 hours on this, the problem is not specific to my phone anyway - others have the same error and need a fix. I'm just gonna wait until toast fixes it. I was only gonna try this kernel to see if HDMI audio was fixed - cant use it on perm basis - need SBC.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Sturmie:
Just upgraded to GoDm0dE kernel with CM7...I want the best battery life possible, what SetCPU profile should I be using and do i NEED to undervolt? Sorry...I'm a kernel noob.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Why don't you just use the cpu controls already built inside cm7? I run interactive but there's times when I run conservative. If you're looking to undervolt try viperboys scripts combined with the tiamat 4.0.3. I haven't tested the undervolt scripts with godmode I've been running it as is.

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sturmie:
Yeah, I'm new to CM7 and noticed that last month after i put SetCPU on it. So, with the GoDm0dE kernel, how is the battery life without tweaking the voltage? I was using the stock kernel and standby battery seemed great, but as soon as I started using the phone (calls, video, etc.), the battery seemed to drain REALLY fast. I had heard that undervolting was the best way to get great battery life, which is the only reason I brought it up in the first place.

I'm using this kernel with deck's 2.3.4 rom. My battery lasted at least 63 hours on one charge while setting up the rom

downloading from the market

Checking out the xda forums

Texting, calls, picture messages,

Updating the rom (cause this rom updates once a day. Lol)

And playing with the apps I downloaded. Love this kernel.

Will upload a screenshot of battery stats when I get to my computer
[EVO 4G Android Development] tgeigel:
So im sorry if this question was asked before (no its not about sbc) I was wondering if it was possible to use viperboy's scripts with this kernel?

Again sorry if this was asked before
[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
I don't beieve you can do that. Viperboy's mod requires that the kernel has HAVS, which I believe GoDmOde does NOT have.

If you want to use Viperboy's mod, try one of the kernels that uses HAVS ( SZ or Tiamat).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
1. kernel is already undervolted, there is no need for you to do anything

2. using SetCPU is not recommended as it conflicts with CM's built in native CPU controls

3. viperboy script is not meant for kernels this one, because it's created for HAVS, and GoDm0dE doesnt use it for stability reasons.

4. Battery drain during phone calls and generally speaking is a common issue with CM roms and kernels. You can only minimize it, not eliminate it. Half an hour call drains 10% of the battery - I've asked around.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tgeigel:
Oh ok thanks, I just came from Tiamat and decided to try GoDm0dE since it was getting great reviews. Hopefully I get better battery life :)

sirmx - I love your siggy. Cracks me up people saying "Wipe your cache 3 times" and stuff like that.

Or something like that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
that one worked like a charm, thanks. toast should link this file in the OP instead of the one he posted...

now, if only I had HDMI cable and HDTV at work, to test that audio, which is what I flashed the kernel for

EDIT: in an astonishing turn of events when I go to settings->about phone the kernel version still says tiamat 3.3.7! I watched the GoDm0dE zip flashed successfully in recovery. I swear I'm not drunk or stoned :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Interesting. I didn't check this myself, as I run on Tiamat 4.x. I just created this zip to try and help. If it's not working, I'll remove the link.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
I flashed it again, and this time I copied the recovery output:

Does this look like a successful flash or what?! After reboot it's still saying I'm running tiamat 3.3.7 and CPU settings have higher OC frequencies, like 1228mhz, 1267mhz, which I think toast's kernel doesnt have. WTF is going on?!

@ toastcfh

can we have a working zip for v8 please?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Reflash the kernel you were using prior if your WiFis are broken. Sounds like the kernel modules are getting pushed to /system/lib/modules, but the kernel isn't being flashed.

I removed my link. I have another idea... unless toast gets around to fixing it.

basically it's a problem with the flashing script 'update-binary' and 'updater-script'.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
kernel manager cant do it - says "this kernel already flashed"

I did flash back tiamat I was using in recovery, but now I have my doubts if that flash was even successful :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Yea. I just tried the other idea I had, but that didn't work either. I had the same results... shows the kernel I was using prior.

I'm just going to give up (im at work anyway lol) and wait for toast to fix. It might be a bigger issue than just the update stuff.

Thanks for trying, I thought it was a simple fix hehe
[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeC84:

[EVO 4G Android Development] MikeC84:

[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I take it that you finally got a working copy flashed? I was able to flash via Kernel Manager after clearing data, uninstalling and reinstalling.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
Yep, same here. Had to reinstall kernel manager and then I was able to flash V8 using KM.

@ MikeC84 - this answers your question too. I think KM flashes the same file that's in the OP.

Battery life is pretty poor without SBC, so this is just a temp solution for me to get HDMI fully working. Will be waiting until those commits are reversed in SBC kernels.

Hopefully, someone will make those changes in one of the 2.6.37 kernels out there, because linux 2.6.38 has pretty bad power regression, which reduces battery life literally x2
[EVO 4G Android Development] ereinhart:
FYI - The newest Savaged-Zen has fully working hdmi with sound - they never merged the edid fixes. Also, I use savagedzen 0.2.1 cfs sbc (2.6.37.4 kernel) with cm7.1 nightly 86 for my daily driver and everything works perfect for me. I use hdmi daily to watch netflix on my TV. I use gps all the time to take my kids to there friends houses, and ive never had battery life on any kernel like I do with sz cfs 0.2.1 sbc. Sorry this is off topic for the thread, but I would've felt bad not sharing this info with Apo11on and anyone reading his post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Apo11on:
thanks for the info. it's not really off topic, as kernels vs. battery drain issues and HDMI support are relevant to every kernel thread.

I tried SZ 2.2.0 and even though I didnt test HDMI I cannot stick with it, because battery life was noticeably worse then 2.6.37 or earlier kernels I've used with the same settings and same type of usage. As far as HDMI working for you - it's been mentioned many times in HDMI threads on XDA, AndroidCentral, etc' that compatability is TV specific (and maybe phone HW revision too) specific. Same kernel which gives one person perfect HDMI with no issues will not work or work poorly (freezes, no sounds etc) on another person's evo, who has different HDTV.

So, as far as SZ 0.2.1 goes - you're one of the lucky ones. I believe I've tried that kernel before and had HDMI problems, but based on your report will give it another shot. Thanks for the heads up again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Chris 2155:
