[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I can't get the undervolt packages to install. I'm in clockworkmod v3.0.0.5 and it says the same for both

"Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to clockworkmod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages. Installation aborted"

HUH?

Ok I'm on Calk 1.7.5 my kernel is netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass-universal-signed and I noticed that updating it uninstalled setcpu. I tried to install it before I noticed that setcpu was gone and after reinstalling it. Through setcpu i cen underclock to 128 MHz.

So my question is do I need the undervolt file?

Also the black splash screen isn't showing up, still the white one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -viperboy-:
That's an issue with the new CWR. Just go into ROM Manager and install 2.5.0.1 of CWR. That will fix your problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Thanks viper. I had a feeling it was cwm. Considering they've had 4-5 updates in the last week I'm not suprised but I do like the orange. Black splash screen is up and lets see how the first undervolt package works.

OK, I'm on Damage Control 3.5 and want to jump ship...this looks like the ship to jump to!

I've read through this thread since 12/30, so I'm aware of some of the issues...but...I have a few questions.

1 - How do I find out if I'm using Ra's or Clockwork?

2 - I know I need to do a full wipe first, no problem. Creating a Nandroid of my current setup right now...just in case. I'm using

3 - Do I need to flash a custom kernel to get all this power saving goodness? I've never flashed a kernel before. Clueless.

So, I plan on doing something like this....

1 - Full wipe of everything.

2 - Flash the ROM from first post.

3 - Flash the updated Radios (link in first post).

4 - Flash the Search button zip (I like that button...).

5 - Reload all my apps using Titanium.

6 - Enjoy!

Is this right? Thanks guys, I do appreciate it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rushco:
You know if you are using RA if you installed it yourself.

Otherwise your steps look good. No need to install anything else to get all the battery saving goodies.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VisedMonk:
Your plan looks good, imho. I always wipe the battery stats when I'm doing a full wipe, just in case.

You can tell the difference between RA and CWM because RA you install yourself. Also, it is yellow/orange on a black screen AND says Amon_Ra v1-8-0 or something like that. CWM is turquoise-ish on a black screen, isn't something you install yourself, and, I think, says ClockworkMod or something like that. I use Amon_RA and have never had any problems.

You don't have to flash a custom kernel if you don't want to. The kernel Calk includes with his ROM is based on the stock htc #15 kernel and can utilize the battery saver script in the ROM. Personally, I like Ziggy's kernels (www.ziggy471.com). I'm currently flashing Ziggy's Dec 19 evo beta and think I get better battery life than any of the SBC kernels that are so hot right now. Sure, those kernels give you better 100% to 90% discharge, but Ziggy's are better from 90% to 5% - i.e., I think they discharge more slowly once the initial drop off the charger is complete. The people on his site are pretty helpful if you have questions.

Ziggy just released a new beta this evening. I haven't flashed that yet, but I intend to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] soundwavedj:
I flashed the undervolting zip (1.5) and the sbc 15. some of that was 8 hours through the night but still. Battery life for me is amazing without setcpu I just use as is with the undervolting
[EVO 4G Android Development] polkadots:
OK, it had been a while...looks like I will go to RA's most recent version...as I don't remember. I created my Nandroid by using the Quick Boot app to boot into recovery. It was a yellow/orange screen...but no sign of Amon_Ra...

I think I'll stick with the kernel that's included...seems like things can get hairy otherwise! Thanks for all of your help, fellas. It's just nice to have some reassurance before I start flashing...
[EVO 4G Android Development] VisedMonk:

[EVO 4G Android Development] wtf911:
I have to agree it is the best sense based ROM and besides CM with the sense removal script and the retained full functionality this ROM beats even nonsense ROMs. MikFroYo isn't bad, neither is VaelPak, and I just don't see why Myns ROM has grabbed so much attention. It's great if a ROM looks nice but last I knew this forum wasn't full of girls and gays looking for a pretty ROM but tech savvy peoples hungry for performance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] polkadots:
Welp, I'm flashing now...made the mistake of rebooting after the wipe and had to re-add RA's recovery and do the wipe again...but all seems well so far. Getting excited...! Was getting bored with Damage Control's - though I will say that it was incredibly stable. Didn't have a single issue with it. Just wanted some of the newer "stuff" - and the powersaving feature of this rom is incredibly attractive.

I've never restored from Titanium Backup...but once I reinstall it from the Market and get it running...I just run a restore and everything is back to normal? I don't have to worry about it messing with anything? I backed up apps and system settings, FWIW.
[EVO 4G Android Development] polkadots:
Ah, whoooo hoo! Success! I think. I guess I'll have to give it some time to see what works and what doesn't (hopefully nothing).

The location toggle in the notifications bar - the one with the globe. I can toggle that off, and when I use Maps, Nav, FourSquare, etc...it'll kick on? No need to leave that toggled on, right?

WTH off the charger for 5 mins n dropped from 100% to 94% battery life...some one HELP!!! plz
[EVO 4G Android Development] power3dfx:
im not sure if its just this rom or not, but i cant tether usb via 4g. it cuts off 4g as soon as you select usb tethering. i know there are apps on the market that can handle this without issue but id like to use the built in popup when i plug the fone in.

this also happens with hotspot, it will not use 4g only uses 3g. So essentially there is no way to tether 4g? is it just an issue with this rom or all roms? i ask because i know calk has mods for these things built in. thanks to anyone who knows and answers!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Chaosmaker2k:
Try doing battery stats wipe. After full charge that is. Then power off phone, charge again. Once light turns green unplug the charger, wait like 10 secs then charge again. Do this 5 or more times. Power on and see if it works. Mine took almost 20 mins to drop 5%

Do I wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset, and clean the dalviche cache in order to install????
[EVO 4G Android Development] VisedMonk:
I know Calk already addressed this, but YES, it is perfectly safe to flash the 1.5 undervolt zip on Ziggy's kernels. I flashed Ziggy's latest kernel (January 2nd CFS beta) and the 1.5 undervolt yesterday and have had no issues at all - camera, front camera, wifi, bt, etc. all work for me. And yes, scrolling is still silky smooth.

BRB quoting the entire OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JasonJoel:
Don't freak out on the 1st 10%. Depending on where you are with battery stats, etc, that 100-90% portion may not mean ANYTHING.

For instance, I'm way too lazy to wipe battery stats and condition my battery. I go from 100%-90% in no time flat. But after that I get bad ass battery life. In fact, right now I'm at (with stock kernel, -1.5v undervolt):

1d 16h 7m 32s

67% remaining

(with 3500 extended battery)

Casual/moderate use.

Seriously. There are too many people who (1) don't read/search a thread before asking questions and (2) want to be told what to do rather than trying things for themselves. Both of those problems make me wonder how they haven't bricked their phones.

only need to install a kernel if you dont want the one included. the one included isn't SBC and from what Ziggy has posted on his site, its a good thing its not an SBC kernel that has the trickle charging.

given ziggys comments on the sbc kernels and such its safe to say you wont find me using them now. The guy seems to know what hes talking about and has the info to back it up too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NHLWil:
You know what's odd? I've tried Netarchy's and King's kernels in the past, and both had screen tearing/corruption issues for me. HTC kernels I never had this problem with.

When I saw Calk went to Ziggy's kernel for 1.7.6, I was worried that this problem would recur, but figured I'd give it a go anyway. To my surprise, no screen issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kdelinux:
v1.7.6 is GREAT. FREAKing GREAT. I just check my Battery 15H 45m 56s since unplugged and with the % in the battery icon. I am only at 22%..

Now my question is: If I used the Sense remove.zip is that remove peep, news, rss, friend stream, and people????? I tried it before with 6.2, and it gave me HTC people and Android contacts... I don't used facebook or twitter to sync to my contacts.

just asking...

thank you for your time.

[EVO 4G Android Development] rushco:
Only time I have screen tearing is after a restart. Turning the screen off then on fixes it for me till the next reboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
Yeah, I saw those comments and I'm not arguing with him- but I also read the article(s) that he posted, and the evidence wasn't so damning as he made it sound. There is certainly the potential for damage, and I'll probably heed his advice and will certainly try his kernels for an alternative. But the exploding batteries had nothing to do with SBC, it was just cheap Chinese batteries. I'd be very curious to hear the guys who are developing the SBC kernels respond to it.

I've gotta ask- how are you running 1.7.6 for "15H 45m 56s since unplugged" when Calk posted it less than an hour ago?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 2k4mach:
huh? Calk just posted 1.7.6 less than an hour ago. are you a super secret beta tester? :confused::p
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
noticed that the size of 1.7.6 is 196.5Mb while 1.7.5 is 197.23Mb. jw if the kernel is what came in smaller or were u able to trim some more fat out of the code any?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattsm:
LOL, my thoughts as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NHLWil:
It doesn't appear to remove any of those actually. It removes the launcher and quite a few widgets, along with some other minor stuff.

Thanks Calk.

One more question for you... I am ok with Ziggy's kernel without using SetCPU so far. But, if I wanted to change the scaling range, is there anyway to do this without using the SetCPU?

The reason that I'm asking this is that I used to use Net's kernel as it seemed like it performed the best with my phone. However, ever since you implemented the CPU scaling/governor script to your ROM, your scripts tend to override the SetCPU settings. I know that you specifically mentioned in the OP that "if SetCPU is detected the script is ignored..." however based on my experience, even after I set up 245 min with Net's kernel, it automatically went down back to 128 min after a while. So, it seems like your script is overriding the SetCPU settings... The only small issue with the 128 minimum frequency is that my phone stalls for a split second when wakes up where 245 min doesn't have that issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
Ear piece audio boost

Calkulin,

I noticed several posts on ziggy's site in the 11/2 thread regarding this, but no replies (post #19).

I too am experiencing a somewhat lower earpiece volume than I did with other kernels. Since you do lots of testing with his kernels and implement it in your ROM, can you confirm if the audio boost is present, or tell me how I can boost the volume some by some other means (modifying some volume table file?)

Greatly appreciated, thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
I personally hate the audio boost tweak since it makes my earpiece pop even at low volumes but that is a question you will have to ask Ziggy as I don't know if he includes it or not(or I guess read his change log)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
The script does a check to see if SetCPU process is running before continuing so if it's running, then that means the process is not running when it wakes up or sleeps which could be OS killing it, etc. I guess I could do a different check like to see if the apk is present, so I'll test that soon
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
Understood.. I did read the change logs. Looks like sometime in a 11/2010 build it was included (ref http://www.ziggy471.com/2010/11/13/ziggy471-kernels-incbravoevo-updated-13-nov/) . It's unclear if it remained however. I'm not hard of hearing, and in a quiet environment can hear it just fine. The noisier environments become a problem.

For my curiosity, the new Ziggy's kernel that comes with 1.7.6, is there any reason that you changed the default max frequency (w/o SetCPU) to 921 instead of 998? It looks like the max has been lowered...
