I second this; had luck doing it this way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SantinoInc:
Heya guys. Please try to tolerate my noobish questions.

So I recently flashed CM6 via Rom Manager. It gave me the option to d/l the google app pack which I did, but didn't give me any kernel options.

My question is this: Is the standard kernel the best available? I'm looking STABILITY first, BATTERY life second and PERFORMANCE third. Thats my list of priorities. Any suggestions? I see that BEANX posted some fancy kernel. Can anyone advise whether this is any better than CM6 standard kernel?

One last retarded question: How exactly do you flash a kernel? I have been doing everything through ROM MANAGER and have no idea how to do it manually. Many many thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
first of all just boot into recovery to do things manually. you'll be better off learning, than relying on an app to do it for you.

next, stick with the stock kernel bro. at least until snap v9 is dropped. others might recommend the zendroid kernel, its still pretty new. i'm using stock until snap v9

so has anyone flashed nightly #168?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ezkialrage:
hey guys i have an interesting bug/problem. Its with turning the screen on after it times out, or has been sitting with the screen off for a while. I have to push the power button numerous times until the screen will actually come on. The first time I push the power button, the bottom 4 buttons will light up but the screen will not come on. Then if I push the power button again, the screen will blink on and off real quick and then go off. So I'm left playing the power button tango for about 30 sec until the screen stays on for me to use the phone.

I am unsure as to whether this is a CM6.1 issue or a setcpu issue or just my screen might be dying issue. But its really bothering me that I cant get into my phone when I need it.

I have tried a fresh install, Wiped cache/dalvik. It started happening with my old CM6 Nand, and so I flashed CM6.1 and it was still there. I have taken secSPU off, and it still happened. I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ImmortalLuD:
Never had an issue with this ROM until recently... Of course, it will not boot on my new 0004 Evo.

I've only used this on my Evo for the past few months, and on my Hero for the past year or so, but for the life of me I can't figure this out.

Anybody have any ideas on how to get this running on these new Evo's? Yes I have hboot 2.02, and yes it's rooted with amon RA 1.8.0. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] barnacles10:
Happens to me allll the time. I have no answers for you sadly
[EVO 4G Android Development] grouse130:
For those of you who were using the Youversion Bible, install the new update. It fixes the scrolling issue.

Yes it does. I'm glad this got fixed.

Just scored a 1920 quadrant with the Zendroid beta. Best score I've ever gotten from a straight kernel with no Turbo or partitioning.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
good to hear. hows everything else working? they gettin that kernel ironed out pretty good? would you recommend it as a daily driver? was that score overclocked?
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
can't believe nobody has mentioned the new features of the lockscreen
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
I'm confused.. is that widget locker or part of cm6.1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Yea it has been mentioned, where it belongs in the nightlies thread ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
anyone else having poor audio quality through the headphone jack? sounds horrible compared to my wifes ava-froyo through my car's stereo...

would that be a kernel thing or a problem with Cm?

running CM6.1-RC1
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
its new in cm6.1 nightly #168

oh thread police, great :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayblahX:
Y'know, this is going to seem silly and a bit ridiculous and OCD, but one of the things I cannot stand about the CM lockscreen is the Vibrate Icon that appears when you drag the Sound Slider. It's so hideous and looks cheap compared to the rest of the slider icons. I'd much prefer the Sound Icon with the X instead. Haha, just typing that out makes me feel idiotic.
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
To serve and protect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bizdady:
Pull out your framework and change the icon and color if you like. Thats what I did with mine since as a Lakers fan I cant stand having green sliders lol.

If you dont mind, can you post a screenie of what you did. I'm a die hard laker fan and want to see exactly what you're talking about. Maybe you can share :D

6.1 to 6.0

Anyone know how to go from CM6.1 to CM6.0? I tried flashing 6.0 over 6.1, but it didnt work :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jessekin32:
Bah nvm. I'm just going to stop being a taco, and flash a nightly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EyeslikeOlives:
Should be a regular full-wipe and flash the CM6.0 like usual.

Re: Zendroid Beta Kernel:

So far very solid for daily use (1900 quadrant). Occasional LauncherPro FC but that happens with every kernel and is just slightly annoying as it relaunches immediately. Oc'd to 1.19/Performance for benching. The thing that makes this kernel go so fast is probably that he is overvolting at higher frequencies. Coming from PC's I'm a fan of overvolting for overclocking.

I have never understood kernels that undervolt AND overclock. To me this makes no sense. You are just begging for instability. If I get 10% less battery life but outstanding performance I'll take that trade.

I know it sounds silly attributing human emotion to an inanimate object, but my CPU just "feels" happier at the higher voltage. Factory voltage settings are always at the low side for safety sake.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Benzzo:
Can you link me to that kernel? Thanks

Does anyone know where I can get a version of the sprint TV apk that is compatible with cm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wase4711:
is there any way to get the notification bar down besides touching it and pulling it down?

the reason I ask is that the otterbox defender has a lip around the screen edge, and I cant get my fat finger tip to the very edge of the screen to get the notification bar down when its on..

Sounds silly, I know, but its becoming annoying..

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] afazel:
I'm just using the version from my Sense ROM. There was an update recently, so just make sure that you're running that. Easiest way is to flash a Sense rom, launch Sprint TV so that it updates, and then back it up with Titanium Backup so you can install it in CyanogenMod.

Ok. After switching back and forth to CM6 for the third time I finally have itcstomized to my liking and running fairly well. However after restoring my apps with data via Titanium I am experiencing some really nasty home screen lag. It takes a whole second or more to scroll from screen to screen. Any advice onbwhat I can do to speed things up?

Odd Google Voice Problem

Hi All,

I've had Google Voice setup and working fine for some time, but in the last couple of weeks a strange thing has started to happen. When I get a call and don't pick it up, my phone will ring the standard 4-ish times and then record the call as missed. However, the call isn't forwarded to GV then. Then all of a sudden my phone starts ringing again as if they same person is calling me back. So basically the caller calls once and waits forever thinking it's just ringing and ringing and I get two missed calls. After the second (or sometimes third!) missed call, GV will pick it up and everything from then on works fine.

I have tried 6.1RC1 as well as almost every nightly from there until 168, and done complete wipes and reinstalls, and I get the same behavior no matter what I do.

Interestingly, if I turn GV off, the Sprint service (which I don't have configured cause I never use it) picks up after the normal set of 4 rings and I don't get multiple missed calls.

Any ideas? I'm baffled. I have read about something like a standard 25 second delay on GV picking up, but this never happened before a couple of weeks ago. My GV setup is about as vanilla as it could be.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorgeszabo:
I probably should have said that after finding a couple of versions here in the forums none of them worked. I assumed that it was due to the apk not being compatible with cm6. I'll go with what the other person said and flash a sense rom, backup after the update and then restore using titanium.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SantinoInc:
BIZDADY:

Ok, so I changed the heap size to 24 and it worked a bit better. But its still not as smooth as it was before I backed up my apps and data with Titanium which I think is the culprit.

Also, from time to time after rebooting my phone I will get this error message at startup: Activity ADW. Launcher (in process android.process.acore) is not responding)

I suspect that this problem is tied into my lag problem. Anything?
[EVO 4G Android Development] locus2k:
I found something cool. I didnt like the aosp keyboard because I was still partial to the HTC Sense keyboard. In trying new tactics out i found that I can flash the HTC_IME_REVOlution that VirusROM had and it worked fine. So for those that kind of dont like tye aosp keyboad you can try that method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iatros56:
I lost my connection to Exchange with the flash of the last couple of nightlies. After the reboot the account is gone. When I attempt to reenter all the info it tells me my user name or password is bad.

I restore a backup and everything is fine until I flash anything after build 166.

Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ISSMER:
Strange...which versions have you tried to install and which version of CM are you using? I am using Sprint TV 1.0.4.32, CM 6.1 RC1, and Toast. 35 test kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] ImmortalLuD:
Is anybody running this, or a nightly, on a 0004 EVO w/ 2.02 hboot? It seems to be the one and only ROM I can't install without hanging on the white HTC screen. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] jamsterzak:
P.m. me for a link
[EVO 4G Android Development] sarahlegs:
Running 167 nightly with stock kernel on a new 0004 hardware version phone here with 2.02 hboot. Fast with no stability probs. I wipe everything before every flash, no titanium or any other backup I normally just reconfigure and redownload to eliminate possible conflicts.

No camera no 4g and no HDMI yet on our 004 phones with any CM build. Hopefully the 004 camera drivers will get figured out and pushed into a nightly soon. Sucks having no 8mp camera of awesome.

Go team Kondik!
[EVO 4G Android Development] iatros56:
Okay, I've come across the reason. I just don't have a solution. If the account name has a period in the name (john.doe), it fails. However, any account that does not have a period (johndoe) works.

The issue is that this worked until just within the last couple of nightlies.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ImmortalLuD:
I was wondering about the camera... Seems to be working with every ROM I've tried... Just can't seem to get any CM6 booted... I wipe everything as usual, but still a no go. Any other tips you can give me to get this installed? I'm assuming this comes with the stock kernel, that should work on our phones?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bboysmerf:
I have 2.02 hboot with hardware 0004 running cm6 168 nightly with toast test kernel 2.6.35 and boots and the camera works.... when I try with the stock kernel I always got stuck at the white screen after flashing toast new kernel everything works no problems at all
[EVO 4G Android Development] ImmortalLuD:
OMG thank you so much! I will try and give that a shot!

Solved Partial Wakelock Issue

If anyone else is having a similar issue I think I have found the culprit. It wasn't facebook or twitter. It was the XDA app. The problem was that it was hanging after hitting the home button without explicitly exiting the app. Every time I went to my home screen from the XDA app without using the exit option I would get an FC when I reopened it and tried to access my favorite threads. Apparently this hang was causing the phone to stay awake. I've been testing this over the past week and found that when I use the exit option from the menu I get no partial wakelocks and awesome battery life \o/
[EVO 4G Android Development] galt:
man, I hope you are right. I've pretty much always had terrible battery life on my Evo regardless of ROM, kernal, race, or creed..... er, no matter what. The xda app is probably one of my most used, and I've had the same kind of force close issue as you described. Will try to kill it after every use and see if that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorgeszabo:
No need to kill. Just use the exit option from the xda app menu.

Keep an eye out for the running and partial wakelock metrics in the spare parts app.

Also note that when I say awesome battery life I mean that I can go on moderate or regular use for about 16-18 hours. Which by some standards is not great but for me it is an extraordinary leap from 8-10 hours. Now I can go an entire work day without charging.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
Hmm I always just back out of the xda app with no issues.. But I'll keep tabs on it

Off topic but who gives a **** after 1k+ pages

Just for ****s and giggles I thought..... hmm I am going to try and compile cyanogenmod. So I loaded up the cyanogen wiki on my laptop runnning arch linux. Wow what seems like 6 hours later I am finally syncing the repo. What an ordeal this is (though fun for some I personally enjoy the challenge). Doing this and at very least failing will give you a new respect for what these guys do.

p.s. my main problems was that arch uses python 3 not 2....

Why so long to pull down the source? I'm thinking of doing the same soon and figure you may have some caveats to look out for.

[EVO 4G Android Development] twiztid99:
Well it was just problem after problem and I googled all my problems so that takes time to find a viable answer. I also have a bad habit of NOT reading until I have an error and go gung ho balls ot the wall and just do it. I was trying to find a program for "repo" not realising it was some random google home brew of git. Had I just RTFM I would of saved myself time lol...

long story short.... RTFM and save yourself a headache
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorgeszabo:
Backing out does not cause an fc. The fc happens when I back out and return to the app after a few minutes and try to load the forums tab.

I figure that the app should close after some time without activity (or even after backing out... not sure) the thing is that after backing out it hangs and does not close properly. Which apparently causes a partial wakelock that is not released until the app closes properly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sarahlegs:
Are you sure you have an 0004 hardware phone? Because I flashed 168 nightly, toast 2.6.35 test1 and am on 2.02hboot, and camera locks up, same as other nightlies and stock kernel...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
I've been having exchange email problems with CM6 for RC1, #155 and now #168. The email app will eat up tons of partial wake/CPU time, or it willl keep resetting itself from 15 minutes to push updating. Much of the time it won't actually check the mail unless I physically go in and hit refresh even when set at 15 minutes.

Even worse, I've now had 4 or 5 instances where the phone reboots (usually in the middle of the night but once while in-use) and when it restarts, my Exchange information is completely gone and I have to re-enter it all over again.

I work remotely and need to be able to rely on my phone for being contacted, so this is a major problem. Before I go back to stock I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas on a fix. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
wipe data, cache, and dalvik twice.... flash 6.1 and just leave it with the stock kernel.

This should work
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shane112358:
I did this the first time around. I didn't wipe data the last time though. Do you mean just RC1 or any build? Doesn't seem to make a difference. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
i would go with RC1, and the kernel that it comes with... also toast's kernel works nice too, only thing is it kills bluetooth

if that doesnt work, then u might have to go back to CM6 for now.

hope this helps

I have had CM 6.1 w/ stock kernel installed for about 1.5 weeks now, and am experiencing my first issues with it.

On the way to work this morning I noticed the volume levels in my music kept changing and the phone was putting itself in car mode. Now I am at work and the car home icon will not leave the status bar, and the music volume is stuck at max volume, regardless of me turning it down or up.

I have tried rebooting several times to no avail, and I can't find anyone else experiencing the same through google. Not sure what I should do at this point.

Anyone else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowspeed:
Like everything here it seems that the solution is to wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permission (rom manager has it)

fix_permissions

Yeah i have a evo with a white back......It said hardware 0004 before i flashed the cyanogen rom......at first with the stock kernel i would just get stuck on the white htc screen.......I then wiped reflashed the nightly 168 then flashed the gapps then the kernel 2.6.35.....got the evo to boot into the rom and everything looks good....i can take pictures and i have not had the camera lock up on me.....

[EVO 4G Android Development] uhhmoney:
on nightly 168 and loving it! anyone else have a problem where the red light stays on constantly once the phone is at 10% battery or less? perhaps this would be helpful for those newer to cm: add a post on the first page saying that if they come across errors trying to install cm to try the most current nightly. I know it's somewhere in this thread but searching 1235 pages is a little much!

Total noob question, but I haven't installed a nightly over another install before. If you flash the nightly over top of RC1. It should only add the changes I believe.... But then why do you lose Google Apps?

Menu > Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Input Settings > Phone and Messaging
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bizdady:
You dont lose google apps, i believe it backs it up and reflashes it in the same process. I never flash google apps when flashing nightlies and everything stays the same.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenags:
I ask, because I flashed a nightly a few minutes ago just over top of RC1 and I lost my Market and Google Talk and what not. Everything else was there though. It just didn't make sense to me so I nandroided back and figured I'd ask here.
