just posting a reply for this CFS 10.... works like a charm now :-D no more awake problems for me, your the man king, that came out fast as heck
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
excuse me King, what could be expect from cfs 10, more performance or better battery
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
Just flashed cfs 10...noticeable goodness. I think its safe to say my phone prefers your cfs kernels. Will report back after a day or so but so far so good. Running on latest ota by the way, no leaks, and oc'd to 1152.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ckolivas:
That's the nature of development. When things are developING they may go through a period of instability till they are developED. Hopefully we can iron out the issues to do with BFS development and different kernel version patching issues in the future.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
He has spoken!

Definitely Con

I have voiced this to users and they seem understanding.

We all know it will be fixed!
[EVO 4G Android Development] brol1k:
kool, downloading now anddddddddddddddddddddddd flashing now....<<<this means happiness lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
hey man, the one reason i like kernel development is the fact it can be flashed just almost too easy, i really appreciate the work put in, these kernels are amazing
[EVO 4G Android Development] minhgi:
King, you are amazing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
ok, I flashed cfs 10 one more time and not getting the keyboard stuck problem anymore.... Love your kernels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
One word. Awsome! Just flashed from bfs 10 to cfs 10 and im glad I did. FPS stable at 55fps stdev 2.90 and Quad score for me is at 1510. Browser is stable as I can surf with no isses and im using OC running at 1229 AND its STABLE!! Usually I freeze up and phone reboots. AWSOME!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fmedina2:
Liking #10 so far. Overclocked to 1228. Getting ~1550 on the quadrant and 53 fps, if I set the minimum ghz to 1228 also. On #8 I would get a freeze and reboot here and there if I overclock 1228, hoping this kernel would handle it better. :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] fsiddique:
I'm already getting great battery life and smoothness from #9 would battery life improve going to #10 or is it more of a performance boost?
[EVO 4G Android Development] WhiteEVO:
Loved BFS #9...tried BFS #10 which was better than BFS #9 except for the constant 100% running and batt drain...tried CSF #9 with great success...the best so far...looking forward to loading CFS# 10 in a few minutes! Great work King! Thank you!

Running VirusROM Sense Base RC3 and loving it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
no problem

Also my evo should be here any day now :) (now that I have no money lol)
[EVO 4G Android Development] joetemp75:
How is the battery life with cfs 10
[EVO 4G Android Development] gticeberg:
im not much of a poster but i have to take the time out to say king I've been using your kernels from their infancy stages and I amazed by the amount of work you put in and the results speak for themselves. I, just as many others here, am patiently waiting for the King's Evo Rom to really put these kernels in a whole new category. And believe me when I say if it is as good as we all hope; your "broke-ness" will be dwindling very quickly. :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] pestilencec11:
King,

I wish I could use your Kernel daily but I can't. the ONLY Kernel I have been able to use on my phone is BFS #6. That is the only one that sticks. Maybe you could help me trouble shoot and try some methods of madness to get your current ones out and maybe future ones to work on my Evo? :) let me know :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ckolivas:
I've brought BFS up to v0.350 now and synced up all stable 4 point kernels down to 2.6.31.14. Note that there were some changes to the way CPU usage was reported -after- the 2.6.32 kernel you're using, so if you sync up to BFS it may be mandatory that you patch up your 2.6.32 kernel all the way up to 2.6.32.23. This may well be the issue your users are seeing with BFS #10.

Hopefully you can all move to a newer kernel in the future as the backports of BFS to kernels that far back may not accurately represent what it's really like as kernel differences become problematic over time and most of my development is on the new kernels.

By request I started a blog as well which describes changes as they occur that will hopefully explain what is going on in BFS land.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kingklick:
very cool. I will continue to talk to you via github.

An honor as always.

Regards

King
[EVO 4G Android Development] WhiteEVO:
I'll second that! Looking forward to Kings EVO Rom!!!!! And any updated/new Kernels...

So far my batt life on CFS #10 has been great! And I'm over clocked to 12288 ondemand...

EDIT:

Had to back down OC to 119400...
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
so far so good with CFS10, battery life is good, hasnt really moved at all, im OC'd also, definitely like this one
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomApollyon:
King, loaded up CFS10 this morning with no awake time glitch and battery drain seems to be back to normal, will report back later after full charge and wiped battery stats.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fmedina2:
Where you getting reboots over clocked to 1228? How frequent? I havent gotten any yet but I have not put much use on my phone since I flashed this kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigj225:
All I can say is King CFS 10 is great. This is the first kernel where my phone didnt plummet within 5 min from 100 to 90.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
I flashed CFS 10 this morn. I was at 100%...I went down to 97% within minutes. It held there for a while and I am now at work and back on charge. I am streaming Stern, so I can't tell for sure if this is better than #9 yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MercuryTangent:
I love #9.

So far my results with #10 CFS have been mixed. Scrolling swiping between home screens seems jerky, and it gets worse if I overclock with SetCPU. My upload/download speeds are generally lower, both with speed test and using drop box.

My apps all run noticeably faster (except in regards to internet connection) and the graphics performance during games is much smoother.

I'm going to try #10 BFS and see how that runs.

EDIT: After some extra use the internet speeds are balancing out. I'm hopeful that after a day of use I'll see comparable, if not better, all around stats. I will stress that #10 is much snappier than #9, both the CFS variants.

[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
CFS 10 battery life is awsome! only down 10% after 8hrs!
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
With what kind of usage....none?? If you say with average use....i gotta call you out.

I just noticed my Quad scores are the worse they've ever been on #10....like 4 phones are above me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
No use it went down 10% only. Compared to BFS #10 overnight I would go from 100-70% which is a 30% decrease vs only 10%. Will be testing overall use today. I just did a idle test overnight. Will let you know. Whats your quad score at?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
One man's observations.

Over the last week, using a Fresh's 3.29.651.5-based 3.3.0.1

ROM, I've tested the stock kernel, KiNgxKernels CFs & BFS #9, CFS & BFS #10 (sadly, something not right in BFS #10). I also tested NA/Toastmod CFS & BFS 4.1.9.1 kernels.

I also have a brother's rooted Evo running DC3.5 (3.26.651.6-based) and have had him testing the same kernels on it.

Finally, I have my wife's completely stock Evo running 3.29.651.5 for comparison.

Based on our experience, I believe that there is no question that the new OTA 3.29.651.5 ROM and custom ROMs based on it are more power hungry in the same configuration than the 3.26.651.6 ROMs. My wife noticed the difference after updating her stock Evo, and she never notices things like that.

Using DC3.5 (Standard Sense profile) and King's BFS#9 on my Evo and DC3.5 with King's CFS#9 (both on Conservative scaling)), we'd unplug our fully charged Evo's at bed time. 7-hours later, my Evo was at 91%. After 8-hours, my brothers was also reading 91%.

We tested again in the exact same configuration (apps, services, GPS, just as we carry them) except using Fresh's 3.3.0.1, my Evo again using BFS#9 and my brother's using CFS#9. After 10-hours (weekend) my Evo was at 80%, and after 8-hours my brother's Evo was at 85%.

For the record, the stock kernel's power consumption was close to King's BFS#9, but everything is just a bit more laggy and less responsive. I'll stick with custom kernels.

I know that DC and Fresh's ROM's are simply setup differently, but I don't believe that its enough to make that kind of difference. The kernels were the same, so the only thing left is the base ROM build itself. Adding that to my wife's experience on her stock Evo, and once again, I believe that we have a less efficient, more power-hungry ROM in the 3.29.651.5.

A few other observations. Though the BFS kernels seem to produce slightly to marginally higher benchmark scores, the CFS kernels appear to be quicker responding...snappier, durnig normal usage. I've switched from BFS to CFS.

The King's Kernels virtually always got a bit better battery life than the NA/TM kernels, and the NA/TM kernels virtually always scored a bit higher in Quadrant, Linpack, etc. to me its a wash.

When I find something that one does better or supports better than the other, I'll use that one. For now, I believe that you cannot go wrong with King's CFS#10 (what I'm currently using) or NA/TM CFS4.1.9.1.

Thank you for your time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
Yeah that's better for sure. I usually lose more than 10% overnight with no use. I just ran my quad a sec ago and now it's 1175, which is around where I have been with all the other kernels. I saw 1290 once on a NA kernel. I can live with 1175, that's #2 on the list.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MercuryTangent:
Fantastic post, man. Thanks for the observations.

Sent from my Virus Infected Evo using the XDA app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shad0w77:
cfs 10 working way better than bfs 10 for me. fresh 3.3.0.1. I previously posted that the gameloft game, lets golf, FC'd on me with BFS. The lockscreen was also laggy after wakeup. With CFS 10, everything is perfect so far. Been running it for half a day now. Fairly heavy usage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
so far so good with CFS 10... it may not be as fluent as BFS, but all in all, battery / performance is pretty amazing
[EVO 4G Android Development] PeoplesHelper:
I agree,My take on that to the tee...I have tried every rom ,kernel,fixes,apps since flashing started with the Utstarcom.6600 if i spelled that right lol. An these kernels have been the best.Great job on the post an great job to all the Dev. out there for there work!!!! And everybodies two cents lol.....:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vincent Law:
I know this is a super long shot, but is there any chance this kernel could implement a different bluetooth, like the one you'd find in CyanogenMod, so that we can make use of stuff like the Wii controller apps? I would actually pay for this if it could be done. Sense + wii = happy person.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gostars9:
Great post. Thank you very much for your info. If you happen to keep this up as more kernels roll out I'd love to hear your thoughts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ranger093:
Same exact issues Shadow. BFS 10 was a piece of crap I ran 9 all the way up until CFS 10 just came out. Runs great! Thanks King.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockenrooster:
Really like cfs 10. Running even better than cfs 9 on my phone. Thanks king!

Anything on the camera audio quality yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
Thats a lot since every idle test I have run the most I lose is 3% over an 6-9hr period.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nabbed:
CFS #10 impressions so far.

1) Fast(er) and smooth(er) scrolling (than bfs9).

2) Battery life not significantly different from other kernels.

3) Experienced a single Sense FC, seemingly out of the blue (never happened before). Will keep testing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fsiddique:
Runs better in what way, battery? performance? smoothness?
[EVO 4G Android Development] d34d85:
i flash 2.6.32.17 CFS using OMJ's rom when i download something in market it takes awhile not sure if people having problem with this...
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
For me personally, performance and smoothness definitely had a noticeable difference for the better. As for battery I can't say better or worse because I use two seidio 3500 extendeds so I don't track battery usage anymore.

I have also changed my setcpu settings on this kernel. Only using to oc but I changed the governor to conservative from ondemand with some advanced setting changes and now my temps take a while to rise.

All in all, it's definitely a step up from 9 and I think my phone just plays better with cfs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
So far IMO cfs#9 gets better battery life so far, I've only been running it for a day so I'll give it another day to allow the phone and battery stars adjust from fully charging and discharging while in the progress of moderate use. Its only been 56 min and I'm down to 80% and that's with moderate use, could be because battery hasn't been calibrated on cfs#10 yet. I got 20+ hrs with moderate use on cfs#9
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockenrooster:
Battery is about the same as cfs 9, but it definetly runs smoother and is snappier.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jpspyro:
BFS #10 Runs somewhat smooth but cfs #9 has the best touch response on launcherpro. Using VirusRom airbourne series beta 2. (284/998Mhz)

Linpack: ~32-37

Quadrant: ~1100-1300

Fps2d: ~52-53, stdev <~2

I've noticed a bump in the fps and a drop in the deviation on #10, but reverted back to #9 cfs because it has runs a bit smoother.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
After turning off and back on with CFS 10 the swype keyboard wont work and if I try the switching keyboard trick, i cant switch back to the swype keyboard without another system reboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
I had similiar issues... I had re-wiped cache and davlik cache and reinstalled. After that no issues. Was kinda weird... But its working now :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
IMO, #9 cfs has better batt life. I have been watching this thing all day and i'm down to 79% after very minimal use. Back to #9 I go. It also felt snappier.
[EVO 4G Android Development] OneStepAhead:
dude, how much longer are you going to be saving up for an EVO? or did you spend the money on beer and broads? that's what i would of done! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
He bought one already :) he said its on the way. Its a few post back he mentioned it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
evo me... are you reverting to CFS 9 or BFS 9, ive always noticed BFS has smoother snappier menu's

edit : does anyone know why #10's dalvik cache would take a few minutes to clear? all other kernels do not.. or is the size the dalvik cache uses changed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lucidvtec:
been runnin Evio 1.1-1.3....

havent been able to get past BFS6 or CFS8 anything newer than those cause's boot loops....tried flashing sooooooooo many ways.....frustrating
[EVO 4G Android Development] Death-M0nk:
Just flashed CFS #10 with Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793471). No issues what so ever, getting amazing speed/reliability/battery life. Much thanks King. Really considering making this my daily driver.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
I went back to CFS #9. It was performing rather well before I tried #10.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
That cache builds up over time. It always takes that long for me, so most likely you just haven't wiped it in awhile.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Was just wondering, Was the Lag of Death #9 BFS? I just flashed #9 CFS and couldn't remember which one it was.

King, btw, GREAT job on these kernels. I've tried others and these are by far THE best! Have fun with the Evo when you receive it. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] firestetz:
It was reported on bfs#9 but I found that when it starts doing it you just clear cache in recovery and it works fine from then on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rinker:
Yup, just make sure you clear it each time you flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Thank you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Titanium backup can do it for you also

I CANNOT FLASH ANY OF THE NEW KiNgxKERNELS ! ANY IDEAS ?

I CANNOT FLASH ANY OF THE NEW KiNgxKERNELS ! ANY IDEAS ?

It does not matter what ROM I use, have tried to flash the new KiNgxKERNELS with many for ex: bakedsnack, fresh, calkulin's, Virus.

The older KiNgxKERNELS that I was able to flash are:

#2, #4, #6 BFS318 and CFS #7.

Anything newer goes straight into fruitloops/bootloops. :(

Are the new kernels being created only for 1 type of EVO :confused:

my hardware version is 003. Novatec screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigdogdan2:
Did you try wiping all data and cache. Install ROM then kernel without adding any apps back in and seeing if boot loops still occur? It could be one of your apps or old settings.

Don't forget to upgrade your your radios too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lucidvtec:
i have the same problem....

and yes i have tried wiping mutilple times....not adding anything.....different ways

boot loops BFS6 and lower works and cfs8 and lower works...tried diff roms aswell
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluefire808:
i have been trying to go back to bfs #7 and when i downloaded it and flashed it and rebooted it says its #8... does any one know why this might be? might some one be able to e-mail me the #7 kernel perhaps? or is it just a glitch and it says #8 and its really #7. o downloaded it a few times and i had a copy of the kernel frpm when #7 was the most current one. when i flashed that one it also said it was #8. was just wondering if any one else noticed this with this kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattlport:
WOW CFS 10 is fantastically running smooth with EVO zone riptide.. Thank you much..
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
#9 cfs was not working well with my phone at all and the battery life was bad. I put on both cfs and bfs 10 and the phone is snappy...texts are going through properly again and the battery life is much better. Please use whatever you did in this kernel for battery life in future kernels lol...
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
Setcpu sampling rate on cfs 10 wont take any value other than default. Flashed cfs 9 and I was able to raise the sampling rate and have it stick. Not sure if this is something you would like to know.

Is it possible to incorporate memory management tweaks? I have seen my system get as low as 40 or less mb available memory without android doing anything to free memory. I tried the memory management apps on market but they cause issues even on mild settings.

Other than that cfs 10 is running great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DroidGnome:
Ok strange issue here...a blank notification pulldown??

Ok strange issue here...a blank notification pulldown??

Specs:

I'm using a rooted Stock EVO (version 2 screen)

Using a stock deoxed ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743781 Revision G)

Build Number 3.29.651.5 CL252548 release-keys

Baseband Radio is still at 2.15.00.07.28

PRI is 1.34_003

Flashing via Amon Ra wiping both caches each time.

Issue

Whenever I flash Kings CFS #10 my notification bar is always empty when I use the pulldown. I can see icons in the bar just fine (Such as USB mode, email notifications etc..) , but pulling it down shows a blank empty white screen. Not even a 'clear' button showing.

Reflashing back to a NetArchy (2.6.32.15 version 4.1.91 CFS universal) kernel brings it back just fine...

I've switched back and forth between Kings 10 CFS and Netarchy's 2 times to be sure before I posted this...

Any idea why a kernel would modify the notification window?? Thought that was part of the ROM itself not the kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Unleashed2k:
Currently running CFS #10. Love it. Keep up the amazing work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
What are the default governors on CFS and BFS 10?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rounders93:
are you using setpcu at all? if so in what fashion? Does the Fahrenheit temperature on the setpcu widget now work for anyone else (always displays 93.7)

Also should i or should i not use set pcu if i'm not overclocking...is there a setpcu guide somewhere that mentions custom kernels? I just don't have the knowledge (which means i probably shouldn't mess w/ it) all i can do now is do tests with diff. settings and see which works best but i'm always wanting to learn stuff if i can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VOODOOTRIP:
My setCpu is working fine, temperature is fluctuating. You can use it to overclock or underclock if you like, thats what the kernel allows you to do. I would not recommend maxing it out all the time though. Not really necessary.

Btw, using CFS#10 on stock rom, thank you King, it's working like a beast!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rounders93:
so would you use on demand or conservative?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rebosxl:
I've posted this countless times in this thread (90 percent of the time I'm ignored). My hardware version is number 2 tho. I tried it with and without the newest radios, prl, etc. I tried amon and clock, I wiped both manually and tried using caulkins format all zip. Nothing but bootloops. As the number of ppl that get this same problem step forward hopefully we too can get some serious help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Scottie2H:
ditto! running with fresh 3.3
[EVO 4G Android Development] fsiddique:
Are you trying the BFS or CFS versions? Some phones can become unstable at lower mV for kernels that use H/AVS. Does your phone bootloop when you use a CFS kernel that didn't implement H/AVS?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Little help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nate.spangler:
i have the same issue...

hardware #2

bfs 6 is the last one i can use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3taman:
Coming back to King after a brief stint on netarchy. Didn't think battery life was as good and I was waiting on a new kernel to try from King.

Good to be back! :D Hoping for good things with CFS#10
[EVO 4G Android Development] liquid307:
Same here.. Cannot flash anymore
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
I've been using the BFS#10 kernel for a few days. Nice, but I'm going through battery like a hot knife through butter. Going to have to switch to CFS or something older.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rebosxl:
I was using king kick from Bfs 1 up to Bfs 6, all others just get bootloops. Cfs wise I get up to 7, just like the other guy
[EVO 4G Android Development] ryanalan82:
Love cfs 10 except going through battery like crazy. Everything is more responsive than bfs 9. Running rooted ota update, o/c to 1119 on conservative. Anything I can try to make this better, or maybe my phone just doesn't like cfs? Also I can't install neocore, everytime it is unsuccessful since cfs 10, but everything else installs or updates fine.....

Swyped from my Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] trianglechad:
Same here for kernels, running bfs6 because I can't go any higher without boot loops.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
I dont know about everyone else but battery on cfs 10 is better for me with performance to boot. I dont care about quads or linpacks but what I do care about is how my phone behaves and all I can say is my phone hasnt slowed down since installing cfs 10.

I'm averaging < 200mA screen-on idle and < 350mA when using my phone for web browsing and streaming. Temps dont get higher than 97f unless I'm on 3g which is rare.

Since I actually use my phone the only thing that bogs me down is my available memory. I have seen my system get as low as 32mb available (last night) and android didn't free anything up. King is a memory management tweak possible in your next kernels? Great work, will donate on next payday when spare funds are available.
