Looks like mixed results (or at least mixed impressions) of tonight's ROM. It's possible that the chippy browser was giving me (and others) a false impression of overall speediness . . . ??

About the radio: Yesterday, I had flashed back to the 7/27 nightly to see if it gave me faster 3G (others had mentioned that starting around 7/28 they saw their speeds/signals drop) . . . but that didn't make much of a difference for me with 3G. But then, as mentioned, I tried tonight's build with both the 7.28 radio (.75 MB download, .75 MB upload), and then with the older 6.10 radio (1.75 MB down and .75 MB up).

Anyone wanting to experiment with radios, here's the thread with links to all of them:

I think he means that the latest nightly officially recognizes radio version 2.15.00.07.28. Previous builds supported a leaked radio, version 2.15.00.07.21.

yup same here, mine sounded pretty terrible too. I love messing with EQ and that made me jump to this build as soon as i found out it has all these options but unless im doing it wrong, it does not sound good at all.

I am currently on Fresh Evo 1.0.x. I want to flash CM6 for the first time, but I have a few questions first. Do I need to flash the new radios/wimax (the ones that came with the latest ota update [froyo])? And would it be better to flash a nightly, or the one from the OP?

great news
[EVO 4G Android Development] MAC_NYC:
thanks...but no 4G

i hope CM gets the 4G going soon the speeds are really sick i was averaging 4MB down/ 1MB up with stock ROM.

but i rather have a snappy system with a slower connection than fast downloads and a system loaded with bloatware.:cool:

[EVO 4G Android Development] jayv1717:
The difference between the two is only the voltage 4.0 is really undervolted making it unstable for some evos that's where 4.1 comes into play..basically if your evo is stable with 4.0 then you don't need 4.1

Scroll down to "Experimental zImages" then scroll down to "cm6-snapv5-beta" It will be released as a flashable zip sometime tomorrow after jmxp69 gets enough feedback that it's not breaking anything.

- do a nandroid backup NOW read: first and foremost so you have something to fall back on if needed

- Download ALL 3 files.

- Copy both modules to ' /system/lib/modules/ '

.......adb push c:\path\to\file\module.ko /system/lib/modules/

- fastboot the zImage:

.......fastboot flash zimage cm6-snap-experimental-v5.1beta-zImage

- reboot your Evo into bootloader:

.......in a new cmd window type: "adb reboot bootloader" OR use Quick Boot from the market

- your phone will reboot to the bootload, flash the file, and then reboot and boot into cm6

ONLY IF YOU WANT... no pressure;

Please go to the market and search for "sdcard benchmark" and download "J Benchmark" .. do a test (or two) before and after flashing v5 so we can see how the kernel is, or isn't helping, writes to the sdcard. THANKS!

Edit: My stock SDCARD read was: 1.2 mb/s....with -snapV5 I am at 1.97mb/s (both numbers were averages of 4 test runs)

........My stock SDCARD write was: 2.3 mb/s....with -snapV5 I am at 2.66mb/s (both numbers were averages of 4 test runs)

After using it for a while, I'm standing by my initial impression that tonight's ROM is faster and smoother than previous nightlies. I don't have any benchmarks, but--in addition to the browser--damn near everything is really snappy. The fact that others thought this too leads me to think I'm not completely crazy (just mostly crazy).

Maybe those who described it as just another nightly didn't do a full wipe first? ... or maybe using a different kernel...?

I did a full wipe, running 8-4 with stock kernel and the 6.10 radio (see my earlier post - getting much faster 3G with old radio).
[EVO 4G Android Development] MagnusRagnarok:
here goes:

8.1 nightly

(havent been able to update because battery never died)

powerupv5 with integrated snap3

setcpu

ultimate juice

calibrated battery for first time 7days ago

NEVER data wiped between any of the nightlies

using wi/fi 3g as needed

(not constantly)

no bluetooth

(no use for it. Wiimote later)

syncing to manual

(i dont have anything to sync)

People Im not being an ass but please read the threat, and I quote.:

"THIS IS NOT HTC SENSE AND NEVER WILL BE. DO NOT ASK ABOUT IT IN THIS THREAD. THANK YOU."

That was the DEV, I dont think that this Rom will ever ever ever have Sense since Cyanogen does not use Sense because its not open source.

It was right there in the first post from the DEV, NO SENSE people NO SENSE :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] IcOpRo:
Ok so I reinstalled set cpu, also im running a the latest nightly from wipe starting from zero, and now my set cpu is setting every time i reboot. dont know if this will help you but maybe before you wipe and reflash, try reinstalling the set cpu again maybe it will work for you without the reinstall, (i didnt reinstall before i wiped) wish i wouldve tried it befor the wipe.

[EVO 4G Android Development] clipcarl:
As I said it doesn't seem any faster to me and my FPS went *down* to 44 in that build with the cyanogen kernel. Flashing the snap4 kernel brought my FPS back up to 52. Someone else reported the exact same FPS results and others have reported that it doesn't seem any faster than other nightlies too. I'm glad it 's faster for you, though. What's your FPS?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
If you flash a nightly and notice that your FPS has gone down, you more than likely have a Nova screen and must use novafreq to adjust your t2 on your own. FYI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] clipcarl:
Weird. The DSP does nothing for me except generate a lot of noise and clipping. Any change in frequency response is so small that I can't notice it and drowned out by the clipping. You're running the default kernel, right?

Is anyone else actually getting decent sound from the DSP/EQ settings?
[EVO 4G Android Development] clipcarl:
Nope. R 3 Epson screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Oh well that sucks. I guess I don't feel as bad about having a Nova screen anymore!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sprocket87:
Dang. 8/4 smokes. Really, really fast. And I didn't even wipe :D

[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
You guys all did the build prop fix and have market working fully?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
Seems like the new froyo radios doesn't play nice with CM6. It really slows down my 3G speeds.

Check out the speed tests. The slower download speeds are from the radio 7.28 and the faster ones are from 6.10 radio. It pretty much doubles my speed and increases the upload as well. As you can see, the signal is pretty weak at -95 and the test was done from the exact same location.

So, if anyone is having 3G speed issues, I would recommend switching back to the previous radio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sprocket87:
Yep, I just did the build.prop update on the 8/4 build and the market works now... Home Rum Battle 3D shows up and all :D

My Chrome to Phone is still broken but I'll work on that...

EDIT: Chrome to Phone is working after all on this build. Woot!
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
ok, so when you do the build prop push what exact steps do you take. yesterday morning i had this same issue, i just kept pushing it then resetting and it finally worked. All i do is reboot to recovery, push file, reboot, clear market, then login to market. am i doing these steps in the wrong order or something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogic6:
Yes. I would recommend that you clear cache, push the file and then reboot. Worked the first time when I did it that way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sprocket87:
Not how I did it.

With the phone running normally I just went to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All > Market and hit Force Kill then Clear Data.

Then I opened up Super User File Browser (you can use Root Explorer if you prefer - just some file manager that lets you mount the system as Read/Write) and copied build.txt to /system

I renamed the original build.prop to build.old then renamed the new build.txt to build.prop

Reboot, open the market, everything's gravy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
i had been wondering if this would work. once i get it up and running i'm going to copy the build prop onto my sd card and save it there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Do you have the changes that were made to the build.prop instead of the entire file? I have edited my build prop and don't want to overwrite those changes.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jrmithdobbs:
Well no **** you're going to get great battery life if the screen is never on and you don't use the phone. I get down to <30% with 2.5 hours of screen on time without any of the crazy task killer and other ridiculous tweaks you're using. I just actually use the phone and it happens within a day (8-14 hours) instead of almost 3.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sprocket87:
No, sorry. You could just open them both up side by side on your PC though and compare them. It's not that long of a file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gx1400:
I flashed the newest nightly in the car on the way to work this morning, but I'm reading good things, so I'm excited to get off work and use it this evening.

I don't like to be the only cynical douche out there, so thank you for posting this comment.

If the goal is to see the potential of the battery life, then great, congrats you got 2+ days out of the phone by barely using it. My Evo is a toy for me more than it is a phone. I like to play games, I like check email, facebook, twitter, etc constantly; so I will likely have more than 3 hours used on it in a single day! I don't have to a smartphone so I can just make phone calls and texts, it would be a waste of money.

Also MagnusRagnorak is using Ultimatejuice, which constantly shuts off radios to optimize use. I'm not knocking on it, I just bought it last night and I'm impressed (I charged my phone until it was at 100% at 11 pm last night, then left it off the charger all night. When I woke up at 6:15 am, it was still at 100%. The radios turn off between 2-5 am, but its still impressive).

BUT the problem people have with battery life is because of STOCK (CM6 stock*), normal use. Not when you flash custom kernels, run paid programs, and curb your use. Yes android is customizable, I do partake, but most of the user base who would eventually adopt the ROM is not going to be knowledgable enough or willing to spend the time, money, or effort to do that. This is why we have things like the SimpleRoot. People want free tether, but they don't want to learn about unix based command line and adb; its not a skill set thats beneficial to most of the population.

ps - again I have to comment from a personal stand point. Does it not drive anyone else insanely crazy to see his signature? It looks like a middle schooler's myspace page. His signature is larger than most posts in the thread! Also, please please PLEASE stop using center tags and differently sized/colored text.

AND with all that said, yet again I want to say thanks to Cyanogen, Toastcfh, Team Douche, and all of the other devs working on this ROM. Its has unlocked the potential of the Evo. I'm in love and marvel daily (... or nightly) with the updates. I switched over to Fresh 3.1.0.1 for a couple days, but even after using a different launcher, I couldn't get over the deep Sense integration. The only things I will miss is 4G (which I'll lose next week when I go back to school) and the facebook birthday calendar integration.

Once my school expenses are taken care of, I'm looking forward to budgeting in another donation.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
FOR THOSE OF YOU WONDERING ABOUT SNAPV4 W/ OR W/O CC ---

the cc bit of it is enabled compcache by default. this increases the virtual RAM that the OS has access to, and should allow more processes running simultaneously.

I had originally tried the cc kernel, but it wigged on me, and i was getting a lot of hangs and FCs. BUT, that was my fault!

If you want to use the cc snap kernel, you have to allow compcache in CM6 (I thought it was enabled by default, it isn't). This setting is under settings>cyanogenmod settings>performance settings.

Trying to use compcache kernel without compcache enabled is what causes hangs/FCs, locks, etc

Hope that clears some things up, i've noticed it asked several times over the past 100 posts or so. I'm sure someone will ask again later, so scribble this little bit of info into your brain, and tell the person that asks later the same thing i'm telling you now.

Running 8/4 nightly with Snap v4.1cc... I haven't even touched SetCPU and I'm getting an stdev less than 5 everytime... This is super ****ing impressive... I've been using most of the apps on my phone and none of them are breaking. This is by far the snappiest and most battery saving kernel I've used so far.

I don't even wanna touch SetCPU :x. If I do it's for more power saving options, I don't even need to overclock at this point

Overclocking does not effect your FPS. I think this is a common misconception. You do not have to overclock to achieve 50+ FPS.

[EVO 4G Android Development] CentroniX:
I spent about two hours dicking with this yesterday. The fix (for me) was to remove the widget. With the widget in place, the CPU was locked at 128/998. Even when I'd manually start SetCPU and it would show a profile in use, I could confirm via an adb shell that the CPU was still set at 128/998 with:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

However, if I removed the widget and reboot, SetCPU would work properly on boot, and I could confirm that various profiles were working (screen off, charging, etc).

YMMV.
