Ive been hit by a kernel curse cant flash any kernel at all no more lol. Whatever rom i get im stuck w the kernel provided.. **** sux cause i cant flash nets, kings nor the stock kernels it freezes my phone on the first boot screen and dosnt wanna get past it? Very sadd
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Set cpu in order to set the demand on ur phone.. ppl say that but it doesnt affect it unless u see somethin crashing
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
Installed cfs11 this morning. Seems solid. Good on battery, with fresh's 3.3. Had to use sprint nav (15min.) and a bunch of weird stuff came back after 2 hrs at 92%.

Btw I only use setcpu at boot to set the governor to conservative. I then kill it, and taskkiller.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gostars9:
Running #11 for 9 hours now.. great battery life sofar and the phone is extremely snappy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dresters:
Same here battery life is great on 11# Thx king!!!

sent from my iph... jk HTC evo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dthomas03:
So you still use advanced task killer?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Estimated Prophet:
You want to avoid using the SetCPU profiles with HAVS, but there's no problem with changing the governor.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluefire808:
No overclocking here either. Really wish it would go to 1.26
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
you need to make a setcpu.txt and put it on sd card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Djay45:
Did that work for you? I did that and my slider went to 1.26 but the actual cpu speed would not go above 998
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
No i havent tried yet, working on the txt right now. I guess the OP is wrong, it doesnt work. I've already donated my $20, everyone else throw something in so we can get king an evo..
[EVO 4G Android Development] felacio:
I just finished making setcpu.txt on my phone (took a little while.. should have just gone downstairs. Lol) slider goes to the max I created but cpu is locked at 998 max.. hmmm..

...in 1943, I killed a drifter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cosine83:
Just wondering, why do you all need overclocking so much? The phone is pretty damn fast without it and coupled with the power savings this kernel brings, why would you want to overclock? That kind of counteracts the battery savings...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
Sorry should have tried first

Yeah no go here. Wont work from profiles either. 998max.
[EVO 4G Android Development] felacio:
Why do you have to question how others choose to use their hardware?

...in 1943, I killed a drifter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
the havs technology doesnt stop working at 1ghz. Faster is better, HAVS should give us the best possible battery life for whatever speed we want to run. my phone can run at 1228 undervolted with no issues. If i can run it at 1228 with the same or less voltage than others at 998, why not? It's not number one on my list by any means, but i'd like the option.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgt. slaughter:
You guys check if Perf Lock is disabled in Set CPU? Only thing I can think of that would be stopping the OC in the program now if it isn't disabled in the kernel.

is ADB fixed in the 3 release?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
#1 - what does that do?

#2 - is it phone specific or can you take one from someone else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Quiksmage:
How do you access the OC capabilities of the kernel? In setCPU it only let's me go up to 998 mhz.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ameetmedi:
SO does the Kernel handle scaling down to 245 automatically and there is no need to use a screen off profile? I am running right now without SetCPU per advice and have noticed no drop in battery while screen is off.. What is the Kernel governance set by default?
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
This kernel charges fast!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] shdwboy:
Just flashed cfs 11 from #9. Get a full charge and play!
[EVO 4G Android Development] leeoniya:
think default is ondemand. i've been using setCPU with every kernel to set conservative governor. profiles are off (as they should be). never an issue.

just flashed to CFS #11 from BFS #9, smooth so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Atticustrd:
Probably a newb question but i always get confused between the difference in CFS and BFS, could someone explain. Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Success100:
im not even trying to be rude or anything, but this has been answered a million times, the best answer is try both out and see which one works for you
[EVO 4G Android Development] _MetalHead_:
CFS #11 won't boot for me :(

I have tried wiping and flashing multiple times and I can't get it to work. It never gets past the splash screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pao23:
I'm one of the "newer kernal crashers"

I'll flash this and give you other crashers a heads up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kamiller42:
Why? Profiles are typically used to force a speed cap on the processor so it runs slower no matter the demand in order to save battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Success100:
booted fine for me, but wiped EVERYTHING off of all 7 of my screens
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sword.Zero:
CFS #11 is amazingly fast...awesome
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Man i hope this works out for me. I got a kernel flashing disease lol doesnt let me change kernels anymore :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
I felt the same way. When I flashed it I had the governor set to "OnDemand" and it was like lightening. Like.... faster than your fingers, fast.
[EVO 4G Android Development] minhgi:
This have to be the best kernel yet. I sticking with this til the next kernel update. Have be using it for a whole hour and only 10 percent drop. Using cfs 11 and fresh 3. 3. 0. 1.

Awesome . And no setcpu either
[EVO 4G Android Development] nabbed:
All these kernels have very similar battery life.

10% drop roughly means 1% (1 hour idle x 1% an hour) + 9% (22 minutes of screen on time with moderate use x 0.4% a minute) = 10%.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
I just switched to 'on-demand' and #11 is blazin!
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
Yup. It does ok if you remember to kill it,with it. Usually only use it after boot , and when hulu has run.
[EVO 4G Android Development] _MetalHead_:
Damnit all these posts are making me jealous, I really want to get this kernel working lol

Does anybody have any idea about something I can do to get this to work? The last kernel I was able to flash was CFS 7. What in these new kernels would prevent them from working with my phone when CFS 7 works? Is it voltage settings perhaps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mav78249:
Have you tried turning it off then on again? That has happened to me before and just a simple reboot brought everything back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
HAVS =

VOLTAGE

SetCPU profiles =

FREQUENCY

Someone who knows what they're talking about and not just quoting the sayings of other people please chime in and tell me what the problem is in using SetCPU profiles with the above descriptions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Either itll wipe ur screen or ull have duplicates of everything, so either a reboot works or a reboot plus wipe of cache n dalvik... so i got the kernel 11 running!!!! Damn took me 15 tries ove hard flashin to get a custom kernel runnin again, i even had to go back to the 3.26 base cause i lost data connection! **** sucked lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I'm on his site and can't find the download link for #11 kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
On his site, go to the Forums. Select the HTC Evo Development forums, then the Kernel Subforum. The link is in there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] overthinkingme:
Minus the attitude, I'd also like this clarified please.

ALSO

on xda, the changelog lists that the cfs kernel was updated to 2.6.32.24 but on King's site it lists: "Kernel now patched up to 2.6.32.21"

which is it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
CFS #11 can only be flashed with AmonRa correct?

If yes, I can't go into SD card while in recovery. I'm getting error that no zip was found. I used ES File Explorer and confirmed the zip is in there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] minhgi:
I not a math wiz. But from what I was saying, I had 90% on my phone. I had use it for an hour and then it drop to 80%. Anyway, I am very happy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
Just to clarify, is the Kernel located on the Root of the SD Card? Did you leave it zipped when putting it on the Card?

Do you have any ROMs on the SDCard? Are THEY visible?

Just throwing out ideas, unclear if just the Kernel isn't showing, or if the SDCard isn't being seen...
[EVO 4G Android Development] trianglechad:
I get constant reboots after 30 seconds. Running Vaelpak 2.2, also tried with Fresh. This is after a full wipe of everything, no SetCPU either. Any ideas?

PS. I have the same problem with other Kings Kernels after BFS#6.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
I flashed it with clockwork and its running fine. Thats one reason why i like clock over ra, cause files need to b on the root n yadiya.. But w clock is so much easier to use w all the sub folder and stuff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Flashed on first try, Among RA, DC 3.6. Im impressed been stuck at 8% for God knows how long, at least an hour + w web/xda/txt/market usage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DataDork:
well,

in regards to setcpu and havs.. i can attest to recommending that others do not use set cpu for profiles for "screen off" or "batt%"...

i was an avid setcpu user and always wondered why my battery would drain at a faster rate than expected.

after reading what others said about havs and setcpu, i decided to try it out myself and turn off my profiles and set my gov on conservative.

20 min ... still at 100% ... with my setcpu profile, i would have been 95 or less by now. my normal daily use is light ..

3 hrs of pandora

50 txt messages

occasional surf/market.

checking my home screen for no reason throughout the day cuz im addicted to my phone.

max brightness,

no 4g, no wifi.

my set cpu profile for screen off was 245/245 powersave.

looks like i dont really have a need for setcpu anymore if my battery holds up the way it is right now .. might just use it for OC if needed down the line.

good work on cfs11 King.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ragster:
I'm not sure but I think high cpu loads reduce battery. If your speeds are too low, your maxing out your processor at all times on a very low speed which would increase the load on it. But this is just a guess lol

This kernel is amazing for me though (I use SetCPU profiles), great battery life, very fast also!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Ok I flashed via ClockWork and it said it was successful. Hopefully the battery life is better with this kernel.

How do I verify the Kernel is on my phone? Just want to make sure that's all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Well, I only use a screen off and charging profile so I don't think those effect HAVS. I've only dropped 3% over 9 hours with my screen off profile. :-P
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
how does this CFS #11 compare to netarchy-toastmod v4.1.9.1? is CFS #11 faster?
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
To verify go settings,software and look somewhere in the middle for the kernel version
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Ive had graphical issues w nets kernels, this new one from king is ahead on its game lol it loads everything up at once and it throws it at u really fast kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] minhgi:

First Kernel

I've flashed a couple ROMS and am starting to grasp a little more of how to customize my EVO. For the life of me, I can't find a "how to" on installing a custom kernel. Are the steps generally the same as flashing a custom ROM? Do I just put the .zip on the root of my SD, boot into recovery, wipe everything, choose/install .zip from SD and reboot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
yes, just put on your SD card but when you wipe just do it with cache and dalvik twice each one then flash your kernel thats how i usse to do it

What is the default governor on CFS 11? Conservative? On Demand? TIA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leeoniya:
CFS #11 + setCPU @consevative sleeps like a rock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
This freaking 11 kicks a$$ so fast
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
mine initially came up at OnDemand, but that is where I had SetCpu set before I flashed. I did "autodetect" and rebooted and it came back as Consertative.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rde34:
This kernel installed flawlessly. I had setCpu installed with the most recent HTC Stock kernel before this. I know my phone now has overclocking ability but, is there a known max MHz that it is safe to set for overclock? Or are there recommendations out there for setCpu settings?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MJStephens:
I wouldn't push it much passed 115. As far as settings, I just do "autodetect" and then reboot and it should have the default kernel settings in there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joey3002:
How did you get conservative? I do not have that option....

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
It should say scaling:conservative or ondemand. Its the first thing ull see when u start setcpu rite underneath the scale

Sent from my phone.. I think Tapatalk??
[EVO 4G Android Development] rde34:
Sounds good, do you guys click "apply" for the settings that are in the advanced tab? Also, am I correct in remembering that the perflock disabler is not needed? Lastly, I know there are varying opinions on which profiles, if any, are useful? Does anyone have any strong opinions on which profiles are helpful with performance, battery life, etc.?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
Havs= voltage scaling

Setcpu=frequency scaling

If you lock the phone to too low a frequency, and some process pins the CPU, HAVS overcompensates and you end up using more power than you would have if you had just allowed to CPU to scale up slightly.

In other words, don't use setcpu profiles and let the kernel handle the scaling on its own.

From my Evo to your eyeballs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
i only usse for Main profile to be working on Conservative
[EVO 4G Android Development] Matt H:
Just downloaded and installed, this is my first Kings Kernel. Looking forward to it.

Anyone have profiles for setcpu they've been using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rde34:
Probably look a few posts back. I've been investigating the same issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Heres my profiles if u guys want them... the screen off is on powersave now not ondemand.. FYI :)

Sent from my phone.. I think Tapatalk??
[EVO 4G Android Development] d0cx:
i do not recommend using this kernel after using any other kernel that doesn't use anykernel for installation. i flashed this after having installed netarchy-toastmod and i saw sluggish performance. went back to v4.1.9.1 again, which has worked beautifully for me. maybe flashing on a ROM containing a stock kernel might have better results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Did u clear off ur oc and profiles before u reflashed the new kernel?? Cause ive flashed tons ove times and always delete any prior profiles and ocs i even uninstall setcpu befre a new kernel lol...

Sent from my phone.. I think Tapatalk??
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigant262:
I came from netarchys cfs kernel and I'm doing perfectly fine. There could be numerous reasons as to why your having slow downs. Did you reboot your phone when you were getting slowdowns? Did you wipe cache and dalvik before flashing this kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wvcachi:
lol 10 chars
[EVO 4G Android Development] joey3002:
I have on demand.. That's what I'll use
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasonziter:
I was thinking the EXACT same thing last night. Would less power be used if your CPU could get the job done faster (at a higher speed) rather than working harder and longer at a slower speed? Makes sense to me, so now you are (with profiles enabled in a havs kernal) undervolting a processor that OS working hard to process something and so, you are strangling it as well.

I'm axing set CPU profiles. Also, with the above line of thinking, on demand would be the best scaling setting.

Anyone else think this makes sense to you? I think its the layman explanation we are looking for for the setcpu/havs discrepancies
[EVO 4G Android Development] lucidvtec:
tried installing....it worked on the first 2 boots....then would just random restart after that

stuck usin #8cfs on caulkins rom

gonna try another from strach install with 11 bein it's the first CFS to work for me since 8
[EVO 4G Android Development] dthomas03:
What about using advanced task killer...yay or nay?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rde34:
Personally, I don't think Advanced Task Killer does a whole lot since Froyo update. It doesn't seem to close a lot of apps that it used to. I sort of agree with many of the articles out there that Android handles memory distribution pretty well. I use Automatic Task Killer which seems to have a slightly more straightforward interface and closes a few more applications than the other. I only close out the applications that are resource intensive (internet, maps, etc) and let Android handle the rest.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tyzing:
I hate not knowing what to do :(

I read that some people say profiles with this new kernel will defeat what its made to do then some people are setting up a ton of profiles also I've read under advanced to do a 20000 and 30 up

Helppppp! I do read and I do search just a lot of conflicting results. I want the best battery life!
[EVO 4G Android Development] stevo11811:
Delete setcpu and task killer.... run and enjoy... these kernels are insane as they come man why mess with it if you haven't tried it stock
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
SetCPU is totally and utterly unnecessary. I do not even have it installed and thanks to King's kernel #11 CFS my phone sips battery while idling. All while providing me the smoothest phone experience ever with my custom ROM and #11 CFS. Super fast as well, just amazing!

And, more importantly, King himself has stated a few times NOT to use SetCPU with his kernels. That in itself should be more than enough to convince you it is a good idea to listen to the very guy who made the kernel you are using! I listened to him and have been better off ever since!

You will always have people who say, "You have to use SetCPU (or Juice Defender) to get the best battery". I beg to differ, all they did was cause problems for me and then you have more stuff running the background and taking up memory. The more memory used, the faster your battery gets eaten up.

Another thought: Since each of these phones are different (some overclock more, some favor some kernels over the other, etc.) how would you know exactly which SetCPU profile will work best for your phone? You would need to a mind boggling amount of testing, because Tommy's SetCPU settings may not work as well on John's phone. I think you can get at what I am trying to say.

For me, there is a "for sure" answer. Do not bother with either SetCPU or Juice Defender, let the kernel with HAVS do it's job and enjoy much less headaches in the meantime.

More than worrying about what SetCPU settings, worry about finding the best kernel for YOUR phone through trial and error. That is far more important!

Thank you for the time in your response. I just uninstalled Setcpu and we'll see how that works out. Thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] tandxcstar1:
I actually use OC widget and

underclock

to 768/245 to save battery life. I hardly ever OC to 1.2ghz. I also dont use ANY taskillers since they are pointless BUT I do use Watchdog. I like Watchdog because I can set alarms for programs that use a certain percent of CPU and I can determine to either close or leave them open to save battery. Just something you will have to test yourself on your phone since everyone has there own "habbits". GL
