Here is my advice, for what its worth.

Here is my 2.5 cents !!!

As you may or may not have noticed, recently, the dev's are making kernals that are universal AND some that are specific to certain roms. If I had any advice I'd start there.

Ive played like mad with havs, cfs, bfs, non havs, non set cpu, set cpu settings enabled, set cpu settings disabled, power manager, juice defender et al, CM6 with and without snap and various cm6 kernals and this has been my best set up to date.

Keep in mind I am using the 1500 mah stock HTC battery. You should always verify people are using this when quoting you up times, on times....etc

1. Newest Fresh

2. Netarchy 4.1.9.1 cfs fresh specific rom (Dalvik and regular cache cleared prior to install)

3. Delete battery stats after the above is completed AND you are at full charge (throw in a couple of unplug / replug cycles, to green full, while powered down if you like.

4. Timeout 3g

5. Screen back-light to 80 or so (1/3 to 1/4 of the way up)

6. Power control widget up with all buttons off (unless I need em)

7. Set cpu - no profiles. Scaling set to your preference (conservative etc) and overclocking to your preference / stability. Then, after boot, force closing set cpu through the manage applications settings. Once the above are set and you force close they stay set until reboot.

7. No task killer. They've never worked that well at power consumption vs. gain and task killing(ATK et al.)

8. No juice defender / ultimate juice stuff running

Remember this, if its on your task bar its running in the background. Even if its purpose is to save battery, the program itself inherently depletes the battery because its running. How much depletion depends on how aggressive it is at performing its function / cpu use (which may ultimately negate its use as I've found with several of these "power saving programs")

Kernals I've tried:

1. Netarchy before with non-specific / universal .....Poor power consumption (cfs / bfs before havs, havs cfs/bfs)

2. Stock Kernals et. aletc

3. KK7-11 cfs and bfs

Nothing has worked as well, with the 1500 mah stock battery, as Fresh with the above settings / fresh specific kernal from netarchy.

I realize cfs vs bfs (who ever makes the kernal) will differ with each EVO but cfs has always been better and more stable for me.

My current time up is 1.5 hours of moderate use with unplugged time of 8 hours with 86% of the stock 1500 mah battery remaining. The only reason I keep harping on the 1500 mah battery thing is a lot of people post 24-48 hours of moderate use and fail to mention they have an after market 3600 mah battery bulging out the back of their evo.

Hi,

I was curious if there is a new version of fresh coming out?

Thanks,

Rich
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtadeo:
Thank you Jason, I will do some more playing around.

I have another question regarding custom ROMs.

Do these ROMS come configured to not download Sprint OTA updates?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasonziter:
Why would there be?

Its based off the latest OTA. 09/23/10. What are ya lookin' for.

One day.....a perfect ROM will be made. So far.....It looks like it has. Fresh is great. Ive flashed a ton roms / kernals etc. since I got this EVO. This setup I have is the best.

I'm happy to say I believe I'v been rehabilitated from my flashing addiction for the time being. I look forward to leading a normal life.

Thanks Fresh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasonziter:
Great question

Thats a great question. I've always just avoided the Firmware Update and HTC Software Update keys like the fricking plague man.

When I look at the system updates section, the option to update HTC software / Firmware is there. I suppose, since we have the latest OTA it would most likely tell us we do not have to update or no newer update is available.

When a new OTA gets released I would suggest NOT accepting the update. Wait to see what the forum posters say. Update PRL and Profile only to be safe.

When new OTA's get released its plastered all over XDA / EVO sections. Once I decided to root and flash roms I made the decision to accept NO OFFICIAL OTA UPDATES as you run the risk of loosing your root.

I'd be curious to know an official answer on this one. As you can tell I'm just speculating / bull ****ting, logically.....but none the less, bull ****ting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtadeo:
yea I wouldn't accept those updates either... I know better then that :P

only problem I have now (aside from the battery issue) is the slow downloading from the market

seems like it gets stuck on "starting download" for the longest time

anyone have a fix for that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtadeo:
that did the trick

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcwiker05:
Mine did this, I went into the Market App though settings and cleared all data for it and same with Download Services (I think that is what it was called) then I signed out of my Gmail account. Restarted the phone, signed back in and went to Update Profile under System Updates. Never had a problem since.

I read before just doing an Update Profile fixes it but it didn't for me, also read about the clearing the Market/Download services fixing it as well but just that didn't help either. So I decided to do both along with signing out restarting and signing back in and I have had awesome market downloads since.

Hope that helps

I think I might buy launcher pro. Sense is killing my battery and slowing things down

[EVO 4G Android Development] gofer75:
You won't be disappointed. I was a long time Sense fan and just recently made the full switch to Launcher Pro. It is so much more customizable and it has many of the same elements that I loved so much with Sense.

I also have Beautiful Widgets which gives you hundreds of clocks and weather skins to choose from. I really like this app b/c I get to keep the weather animations which I always liked seeing.

I've used Titanium Backup for a couple of months now, and I haven't had any issues at all, even with paid apps. The paid version of TB does full automated batch restores of everything, which is a lot easier than reinstalling 100 apps from the market every time a flash a new ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sintricate:
Can someone please tell me which kb is included in the fresh rom? As stupid as it sounds, I'm not sure if I changed the one on my phone or this is the one it came with. All I know is I don't like it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] d0m1n0:
Here's my issues lately.....I rarely post, cause I rarely have issues. I don't use anything but stock kernel, I don't OC, nothing crazy, just basic rom and very little tweaking.

Everything good since Fresh 3.2 the keyboard would lag like hell, like 3 words behind my typing, which pretty much disabled the auto-correct. Updated to 3.3, that issue seemed to go away....for a while.

Last week updated Radio and WiMAX to latest, updated Profile and PRL, now have tons of issues. Whenever I press back on the browser, FC. End a call, FC, laptop will no longer connect to WiFi tether, keyboard lags quite a bit now, every 4 or 5 messages.

Guess I'll go back to previous radio and WiMAX, wipe and start over :(

EDIT: my battery life is garbage since I updated radios. can't even make it through the day without the battery dying, with minimal use. I've checked the battery stats and there's nothing running that I can see that's causing the phone not to sleep. I've uninstalled any apps I've gotten since I started to notice the battery drain, no help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jcdip1:
I just want to say I have had this ROM for almost a month and I am loving it.

Congrats to you Devs and everyone that has helped.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dills2214:
LauncherPro Plus is "key" unlocked that is emailed to you. You won't have to worry about that happening with launcher pro. I have had LP Plus on multiple Roms and phones.
[EVO 4G Android Development] urvi1:
Ok the only problems I'm having with this rom are with Gmail app fc'ing, and the weather portion of the sense flip clock not updating. I check the preference to auto update but it wont hold the setting. As for gmail I've tried everything that i can think of including reinstalling the app but it still fc's.

Well over 3 weeks of fresh 3.3 rom with Netarchy latest kernel Ive found that EVO Kicks Blackberry 9630 & 9650 battery life to the curb.

Todays EVO use

Full charge 100% 6am.

(Slacker radio solid use from 8am - 3pm never turned off)

(Sense Weather widget update interval setting: 2 hr)

(Friend Stream update interval setting: 1 hr )

(Tango Video call - 11 min)

(LiveProfile 20 minutes of messaging)

< Its the same as BBM push connection always active.

(Calls - 28 min)

(Received Emails all day sent 3 replays)

(Web Browsing: 18 min)

With all the above going on I'm at 65% remaining at 3:30pm

Thats Excellent Battery life many thanks to flipz & Netarchy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayblahX:
Hi, I'm a new EVO rooter, and I thought I'd give this ROM a try based on the positive reception it's received. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove extra homescreens (I really don't need 6). I've tried pretty much everything. Is it not possible with Fresh?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cruecu:
Good for you, but I'd give you my house if thought that was actually doable. That may be achievable with a 3000mh and over battery. Your credibility was shot when you said the evo has better battery life than a blackberry. My blackberry had 4 times the battery life of this phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sling:
:rolleyes:

No my friend results are had with stock battery and as far as your credibility goes '4 Times the battery life'..hmmm you must not own a Blackberry 9630 or 9650....heck any BB.

The 8330 provides best battery life which is about 3 times better then EVO stock out of the box so not sure what magical BB you carry but please share.

Anyway Im a X hardcore BB geek.

8330 for a couple years , 9630 for over a year then 9650 for 29 miserable days. Both 9600 series devices have not so good battery life compared to 9700 . Storm2 etc any current BB model.

Its well reported by many 9600 users that they only get 1 to 1.5 days use before charge needed so get smart do some research before posting.

While your at it feel free to look me up at Bellshare forums if you need any Berryweather , Berrybuzz support ;)

When it comes to your house give away lol

PM me I will share my EVO settings , rom /kernel info etc 3rd party app , all details & test your device for yourself & enjoy what it can provide.

I'm a straight up guy no bull**** more then happy to help you out.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Nacomoon:
no, it still uses the Sense launcher. If you want to have less home screens you need a different launcher. I use LauncherPro and 5 home screens. Only problem is you wont be able to use Sense widgets with it. But if you donate you can get LauncherPro Plus and it has really good alternatives to some of them
[EVO 4G Android Development] fastfed:
OK.. I am going to be doing this for the first time..Let me know where I am wrong please..

I got Titanium and did a back up on my 2 week old phone.

I am rooted..

I am going to restart and enter boot mode, then do a wipe? and then what? LOL

Also, how do I install the radio?

THANKS!

I would like to do the rom first, then flash the radio.. But I want to make sure I do these things correctly.. As many guides explain them well but explain them as if people already know how to do certain things..

For example the radio install says "Don’t flash this unless you have a CDMA Evo 4g"

HUH? Whats CDMA? I just bought the phone 2 weeks ago and only rooted and downloaded apps , :)

@sling which netarchy kernel? link? id like to get that battery time. if I put the phone down and don't mess with it I can get a week of standby with flipz standard kernel but If I use it like I normally do I get 8 hrs and need to charge

the blackberry was great on battery. this kernal must be something.

WoW is all I can say.

I had a 9630 and used it... I get about the same battery life from my Evo on fresh with net kernel. I have removed most of sense and still get about 9-13 hours max. I'm not complaining one bit. I was expecting much worse when i first thought of getting the evo.

Help Constand Boot-loop After Wipe

I'm running Fresh 3.3.0.1 on an EVO and when I do a factory reset and clear all cache then try to install a clean 3.3.01 from a zip, my phone goes into a constant boot loop. I've downloaded the Fresh ROM twice thinking it was corrupt, I've used Clockwork and RA but neither works. The only way to get the phone running again is to restore the Nandroid backup. I'm afraid when a newer version of Fresh comes out I won't be able to re-flash. I get the same problem when I flash a different ROM, but since I started with Fresh I thought I'd start her to ask how to fix this issue. This problem did not used to happen, and I've installed so many programs I wouldn't know where to start eliminating. I went back to factory and that didn't help, what else is there? Can someone shed any light on my problem. I would love some suggestions please.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NewZJ:
still testing it and so far I'm satisfied with it, standby times are the same and it really shines under moderate use, going on 6 hours of almost constant use, browsing, nubinews, xda app, ninjas live, dozens of texts.

its just below half now. with fresh kernel I would need to charge at this point.

your earlier numbers are possible in the right scenario.

Do do you guys think this ROM has the best battery life out of all of the ROM's?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gofer75:
Ugh, here we go again....

Look, if this guy's lying then how did his lie carry over to my phone? B/c I have enjoyed very similar results. I get so tired of all of the battery life arguments in here. Why is it that anytime someone posts about their battery life being awesome, someone has to respond with insults and call people liars just b/c they don't have the same results form their phone?

I personally have my phone off the charger from about 9am til after 1am almost every day and even when I plug in before bed, I still have around 30% or more left. I leave gps on all the time, access the web numerous times a day, check out youtube videos several times a day, and generally hardly ever put my phone down unless I have to.

If you really want to improve your battery life, follow the steps posted in here about a dozen times or more and look into your apps and what may be causing this low battery life you're experiencing. I am sorry that you haven't been able to achieve batter battery results as well, but if you do your homework, it is possible to get the same from your device.

BTW.... Fresh rocks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] gofer75:
Go to the Fresh updater app on your device and you will be able to download and flash the files needed to use the vanilla lock. If you haven't used the updater before then you'll need to update the theme server first. To do that, go to the tweaks tab then tap Menu->Configuration->Theme Update Settings->Manage Theme Servers->Menu->Update Featured Theme Servers. After you do that you can just tap Check Now and you'll find the file you need. I used Vanilla Lock+Clock-World Clock so that I don't have two clocks in my app drawer.
