thanks for your work! any chance you can whip up a zip for just the black gradient notification bar?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sling:
Hey Calk not sure if this is Rom related but if so can you fix.

With lcd brightness set to auto EVO gets flaky when in well lite environment.

When in well lite environment lcd brightness is high for comfy viewing but when screen dims right before time out then you fully wake before lcd turns off brightness is low not were it left off at

Only way to get full brightness back is to turn screen off then back on for sensor to adjust.

Can this light sensor issue be fixed in Rom or am I barking up the wrong tree maybe Kernel related fix would be needed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
I believe it's rom related

My experience too! I was getting fairly good battery life on 1.4, but since I switched to 1.6, battery is draining rather quickly. Not sure, what else needs to be done, but I have already tried SetCPU and couple of kernels including #11 and Ziggy's 11/13...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
If you can get a hold of baked kernel # 6 do it which means you no longer need SetCPU. Depending on your kernels, it might mess with it having SetCPU installed
[EVO 4G Android Development] CruzECO13:
I was able to find Baked Kernel #6 after a few hours searching through forums:

http://androidforums.com/1828443-post21.html

Edit: I haven't tried it but in the thread they mention it actually says #2 but really it is the #6 BS Kernel and that is has amazing battery life.

Flashing a kernel by itself...

Please forgive the NOOB question... I have never flashed a kernel by itself, outside of flashing an entire rom. How would I do this? Do I just flash this .zip file in recovery?

Thanks for the help

Dan
[EVO 4G Android Development] atapia984:
That is correct. Flash it as if you would flash a ROM, but make sure you are fully charged and, something I always do, make sure you wipe cache, Dalvik and battery stats (Do Not Wipe Data.) Which kernel are you looking at?
[EVO 4G Android Development] danh18:
BS #6

Baked kernal #6 mentioned a few posts back for its battery life. Thanks for the help...

Dan
[EVO 4G Android Development] atapia984:
Yes sir. That is what I have been using with this ROM for the past 2 days. Nothing but good results. No need for SetCPU. Good Luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pbrussell:
something about baked#6 seemed alittle sketchy...its kinda a small file, NO?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
Most kernels are only 2-3 MB
[EVO 4G Android Development] CruzECO13:
They are indeed mostly all about 2-3mb like xlGmanlx said. The Baked #6 is legit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pbrussell:
iight going with the general consensus...d/l now and it doesnt need setcpu, i mean do they clash, or its just not NEEDED but can be used.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Your flashing the wrong zip.you want enable buttons not default.
[EVO 4G Android Development] R32_Rocky:
Seeing as somehow my flash to 1.6 got messed up real bad (even Titanium B/U would not restore a lot of programs?????), I decided to try a few things before I completely wipe my phone and start all over again . . . . . .

1) I am trying out Ziggy's latest 11/14 kernal along with his tweaks zip and WOW!!! This is the very FIRST TIME that Ziggy's kernal did not act wonkers. It is smooth as silk, does not seem to be giving me any problems, AND the tweak file takes the place of setCPU and does a fantastic job of it. It OC's to 113000, and idles down to 245 very quickly. Linpack gives me 35-36, Quadrant (Advanced version) is just about at 1500. But for some odd reason, Nenamark is only down at 16.5 FPS (go figure???). But in real world use it is fast, no lag, and very responsive.

Another item I am about to try, and others might want it too, is this:

Is there a way to revert back to the stock non-transparent notification bar? The graphical bugs on this one are too much for me.

Also, how do you switch to 4 icon columns in the app drawer (instead of 5)? I don't really see the point getting all the icons crammed in there.

Here's the report on the my findings for the stock HTC Kernel #17 paired with this ROM. I have to say that it's pretty damn good. My EVO really still feels fast and has very minimal lag using the stock clock @ 998 (I have been oc'd @ 1113 for a long time). Everything was smooth and screen transitions are very good. Sometimes, there was a slight delay when adding a application or widget, but it could be partly due to the number of apps I have...still nothing that makes me want to stop using this kernel.

But here's what really surprised me...battery life. I mean, I really tested it this weekend just to see how far I could go on a single charge. Even though I have WiFi at home, I kept it on 3g (which is a know killer of battery life) and performed a lot of functions...email, text, pic mail, 4G web surfing, app updates and downloads, phone calls, listening to music (for a very long time), and playing Angry Birds. After all was said and done, I found that this kernel provided the best battery life...I was able to get thru an entire day and night (turned 3G off when I went to sleep). I woke up with around 12-13% left.

Now my findings are a little skewed, by the fact that I have always been oc'd, which does affect battery life to a certain degree...without being oc'd may have had a slight affect. But as usual, I did keep GPS and BT on during this testing period.

Overall, I was very impressed and plan to make this kernel my daily driver. One more thing, with my device on WiFi for most of the day yesterday, the battery life was even better. And yes, I did use SetCPU with on a screen off profile set at 384/384. As with all things, these are results based on my EVO...YMMV.

Having Issues With Last Two Roms

Have had two near deal breakers with the last two updates of Calkulins EVIO 2 ROM, including 1.6. The problem is, every once in a while, after using Reboot (Normal), the phone takes longer to reboot, and when it finally does a lot of my apps are deleted and am unable to re-install them. I always properly wipe when installing any Rom so not exactly sure what could be the problem.. Anyways going to re-flash my phone and not use Reboot any more..

I had this happen while out of town on work this past week. I rebooted the phone to find it reverted back to a vanilla version of the rom despite the fact that I'd had it fully setup. A few reboots later it eventually came back up with apps installed as previously. But even the RA 1.8 Recovery was having issues it kept complaining the CACHE. I ended up wiping the cache and dalvik cache multiple times, then factory wiping the device and installing 1.6. Thank god for nandroid and Titanium Backup otherwise it would have taken forever to rebuild. Ultimately, I'm not sure what caused it as I'm usually very good about wiping the cache before an install. Nonetheless, I'm on 1.6 as of today and no issues despite a few reboots.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nenn:
JG: youre not in the same directory as where the adb executable is. By this i mean, if you extract your "tools" directory on to your Desktop you need to be in

to be able to run ./adb the way youre trying to.

By this i mean the "./" means run this application from the current directory. If you've put the tools directory into your PATH variable, then you dont need the "./" which is why you can "ls" , "cd" from any directory, because they're listed in your PATH variable.

I know this answer is a bit verbose but I hope it helps a bit.

As a last tip, before you try to "./adb" make sure

1) youre in the tools directory (run "pwd", it will return your current working directory, which should end in ../tools)

2) make sure "adb" is in your current directory (run "ls adb", if it reutrns "no such file or directory" the error is pretty self explanatory.)

GOOD LUCK!

From what I understand, this may or may not be an issue with the alternate WiFi Tether client on all ROMS.

Do you have a wireless card on your computer? If you do, use Wireless Tether, it is an app that is included in this ROM. If you cannot find the app on your device, download it here: (the latest version works).

If you want to connect using USB, Tether or PdaNet should work. You just have to download both the Market app and the Windows desktop version to connect.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dodgeboy:
Is it possible to reassign the search button to another app? I ran the zip in post #1 to enable the button, but the button always brings up Voice Search. I want it to bring up Choice Dialer. In all other roms, I was prompted for what I wanted to use this button for. This one doesn't seem to prompt me (even upon reinstalling choice dialer).

If there is a back-door way of changing it (modifying a file), I'm fine with that. I don't necessarily need the pop-up thing to present me with the choices. Just let me know which file I need to modify.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
BS #6 is great on battery life cause it runs @ 883MHz instead of the 998MHz that every other kernel including stock runs at. I don't know if BS did that on purpose or by mistake, but the only speeds selectable are 883MHz and down or 1.15GHz, nothing in between. So obviously lower speeds = lower voltage = better battery life but you can do that on any kernel and get better battery life
