I was wondering if anyone had a link for the kernel included in Fresh 3.2. Just the leaked HTC stock kernel. Thank for the help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dom085:
A I understand it, you can just pull it out of the Fresh package and install just the kernel through recovery.

As always, nand backup first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skullmonkey:
Its on the front page of the Fresh website:

http://geekfor.me/evo/22/stock-rooted-3-28-651-1/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kf2m:
That is the full ROM. What the Op is looking for is the Kernel within the ROM which is 2.6.32-15.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skullmonkey:
Except for that, that is the stock kernel he is using which the OP is looking for.

I was just wondering if this still worked with 2.2? (Sorry, can't post a link since I'm a new user.)

The thread that I'm trying to reference discusses downloading a fastboot-mac executable from HTC for the Android development phone and renaming to fastboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] photo_mom:
The reason I'm asking is because when I try to use the executable I get errors like:

writing 'splash1'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] photo_mom:
Solved:

It's not the executable, it's the hboot level. It sounds like this can be fixed by downloading and applying the PC36img.zip file found in the following thread in the Android Development subforum (still can't use links but this is the thread title):

Get ENG bootloader extended fastboot commands back after Unrevoked forever!

I understand that this is 2.2 with only the hboot downgraded to 76. I used the unrEVOked3.2 to root my phone (which worked fantastically!!) and haven't applied any other ROM yet.

Will applying this zip file wipe my phone?

Edit:

Being the chicken, but impatient soul that I am, I used the PC36IMG.zip file that had the eng hboot in it found in one of the later posts in the thread. it DOES wipe the phone. I'm still rooted, but had to reload applications and reset personalization type things, like wallpaper, ringtones, boot animation...

I did a Titanium backup and a nandroid backup before applying the zip file. But Titanium was gone so I had to re-download it from the market. Am now trying to get stuff back from that previous backup.

I had done an nandroid backup but was nervous about just applying portions of it.

Ive been using pingchat with my friends for texting and it works great so i really dont have a need to pay for texting anymore. Is it possible that if I cancel my texting package through ATT I can set my phone not to receive them if anyone does try to text me? I dont want to be charged for messaging period and want to make sure no one tries to send me one accidentally.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
When you cancel your texting plan, ask the rep to put a text message block on your account. This is the only way to aviod any accidental text message charges. There is no way to do so on your phone.

Then, you can also setup a Google Voice account on your phone and get free text messages and visual voice mails through Google Voice (using data connection).
[Captivate General] ukulele_ninja:
awesome! I knew there was a way to get texting blocked but wasnt sure who had to do it. Ive setup my google voice account and love it!
[Android Software Development] aitorTheRed:
Hello to all!

I have not participated much in the forum, though I have been reading you for a while :) So... I am going to ask for your help :)

I'm trying to make a custom paint with the finger (to draw, to take notes, whatever) and I'm having some troubles.

Up to now, from what I have read, I'm using a class extended from View implementing OnTouchListener , and using the onDraw() method, with the onTouch event. I detect when the screen is touched (pressed, or dragged to "paint" in the screen) with the onTouch method, store the last point in an array, and in the onDraw method, I paint all the array.

-As my knowledge goes, in the onDraw method, you have to re-paint all the canvas (this is translated to my problem, to repaint all the stroke or "painting"). Is this correct or I am doing anything wrong? Is there any way to only update the current canvas, and not have to re-paint all the screen? Maybe using othe classes or other methods, but I have found nothing in the net (maybe I'm not looking in the correct places).

- The second problem I found is that when I drag the finger across the screen, sometimes the ontouch method doesen't capture all the points I have "touched" with the finger. I mean, I don't want to capture ALL the points, but when I drag the finger with moderate speed (not very fast) there are important gaps in between. Is there a way to optimize this and try to capture more points in between?

So far, this is the code I have relevant to the issues I'm explaining:

I'm trying to copy the code but I get a error (It sais I can not post outside links, but I'm not posting any links, just the code)

private ArrayList<PointStroke > stroke= new ArrayList<PointStroke >();

protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {

Paint p = new Paint();
p.setColor(Color.RED);
int signLength = stroke.size();
PointStroke pf;
PointStroke pfant;
for (int index = 0; index < signLength; index++) {
pf = stroke.get(index);
canvas.drawCircle(pf.x,pf.y,7,p);
if (index > 0 ) {
pfant = stroke.get(index-1);
canvas.drawLine(pfant.x, pfant.y, pf.x, pf.y, p);
}
}

canvas.drawCircle(x,y,7,p);
invalidate();
}

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

x = event.getX();
y = event.getY();
pr = event.getPressure();
sz = event.getSize();

long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
stroke.add(new PointStroke(x,y,pr,sz,now));

return true;
}

private class PointStroke{
public float x;
public float y;
public float pr;
public float sz;
public long time;

public PointStroke(float newX, float newY, float newPR, float newSZ, long newTIME) {
x = newX;
y = newY;
pr = newPR;
sz = newSZ;
time = newTIME;
}
}

Thanks for all your answers and the time to read and answer! ;)

I really do not want to flash a new rom/kernal.

Has anyone used SetCPU on their stock kernal? SetCPU now has that perflock disabler that automatically activates on start-up. I was wondering if anyone can post results that they have had with SetCPU and the stock kernal.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v_lestat:
doesnt matter it doesnt work on stock kernels from what i know....

as i understand it you still need a oc enabled kernel.

you can underclock i think right.. but not overclock.

again i think.

but i dont oc... havs...undervolting.. it doesnt matter. you just destroy battery life when you oc the phone.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stroths:
There was a pretty big thread about this on ppcgeeks a while back when the Evo first came out and no custom kernels were around. Back then, it had no impact because the kernel didn't support it like the custom ones do. However, there were some that swore it did (placebo effect).

EDIT: I haven't read the thread with the newer RUU releases, so it might be possible now if HTC built support in the kernel. As mentioned above, give it a try and see how it works for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritzbrie:
Because by the time I can see results, 24 hours would have already passed and I lose out on my refund if it doesn't work.

But, I am going to give it a try, screw it. I've spend $2 on stupider things. I'll report back after I have had ample time to test it with the Perflock off function.

SetCPU works just fine for setting the CPU on a stock kernel. You just can not overclock. And I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with overclocking. I mean it is 12% or 13% at best which isn't a lot. IMHO. And the drain on already poor battery life isn't worth it. 1Ghz is plenty fast enough. However, underclocking is a great thing.

Hi everyone

When i look on spare parts, i see that for network usage, 'Media' has the most usage. I read on a forum somewhere (might have been the villain forum) that someone solved their battery life problem by deleting these two apk's.

I'm interested in doing this as well, but i would like to know what these are both used for, and if removing them will have any bad consequences in the way my phone runs.

Sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
since owning my evo i have noticed rather peculiar battery life.

one day its ok, the next its gone 5-6 hours.

so i picked up a 3000mah battery for the wife and myself.

same thing. just horrible battey life one day, then the next.. great. i can go all day and charge when i go to bed.

yes i know the 3000mah battery is probably more like 2200-2500mah.

as i think back, and because of my job and some of the solar and battery backup systems we design for microwave radios i started to notice why, aside from heavy usage, i get poor battery life. and why under mid to heavy use i get even worse life.... i am talking 6 hours and i have just about drained a 3000mah battery.

its the HTC charger.....

no it isnt bad.. its charging the battery too quickly.

anyone who knows anything about batteries knows you can absolutely charge a battery too fast and that 9 out of 10 times a slow or trickle charge gives a much better charge on the battery thus giving prolonged use out of your phone.

not all batteries ar the same. some can handle a quick charge, others demand a slow charge.

so..i look back and i can say with total confidence that when i charge with the HTC wall charge my battery life is 1/2 or less what i get if i charge with the usb cable on a pc or with a wall charger that puts out less amps.

i also shut the phone off whenever i can to charge.

the htc charger puts out 5v 1a.

a usb port puts out 5v 500ma, (0.5a) and you can find wall adapters or car chargers that put out the same.

thus the usb port allows for a better cleaner charge.

prolonged use of the htc charger, i truly believe, will greatly shorten the life of your battery. and not just a little either.

so in the end...

1) usb a pc/laptop usb port to charge your phone whenever possible

2) only use the htc charge if you need a quick boost charge.

3) power off your phone if possible when ever using either method.
[EVO 4G General] tomh1979:
This is from a post i made earlier this morning.

when i charge this way i leave the phone on, instead of turning it off.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I hadn't given this as much thought as you guys but in retrospect I have to say I've had the same experience. I just never thought the usb charge would be superior to 1a charging, I just thought it was other factors like my usage or signal strength.

Thanks for this thread :D
[EVO 4G General] CollegeFresh:
Just use Baked Snack if you want battery life, or juice defender/ultimate juice.

[EVO 4G General] tomh1979:
the point of it was to see how long it would go period (as in testing), so it was used, just not as much as i normally actually do, read that post again, i think i even said that didn't i not!

Next time please take some time to read the post and think through what it says before posting!
[EVO 4G General] scooter185:
I have had similar issues. For example today my battery has dropped thirty percent in the last hour. I think it's because of poor signal though, atleast for me. I have had my battery die in three hours before because of no signal.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Signal strength does affect battery life, I have a 700 mah charger from my curve I'll start using that to see I notice any difference in drain. Ill report back in a few days if I remember to.
[EVO 4G General] scooter185:
My time without signal is at around 25% today. My phone has been unplugged for 3.5 hours and is at 28%.

[EVO 4G General] Systemfraud:
I just got my wall charger in the mail and am dying to use it. I've read somewhere with the batteries that the EVO uses we shouldn't drain the battery all the way, is this true? If so, that means I can just pop the battery in the charger, yeah? It'd be a pain to have to drain my battery... Thanks for clarification anyone.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
this isnt about roms and apps that claim to help battery life. and just to say it, i have yet to have a rom help my battery life.

in fact... my experience is that i get the best battery life on the stock odex roms. not sure why, but i have seen it many times.

i am talking the proper way to charge your phone, and using the wall charger should only be done when you need to give the phone a very quick charge.

i charged mine the other night when it was down to 2% and it took less than an hour and a half to charge the battery, where as using the usb method, would have taken easily twice as long, and provided twice the use.

I will also say that i have owned alot of phones, and this is THE worst battery life i have ever gotten from a phone... period.

HTC isnt known for using long lasting batteries, nor creating phones that are easy on a battery. HTC makes phones with batteries that blow their wad like a teenager getting his first BJ.
[EVO 4G General] MSmith1:
You do know that the Evo can not properly charge an extended battery right? The built in power driver only charges the stock battery correctly. You can check out either of the extended battery threads in the accessories forum for more info. Though charging via usb may give you a better charge, you are still getting cheated out of battery if you charge the battery in the phone.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
thats a mixed bag man, there are mixed thoughts on this, personally i follow the mfg. initial instrucitons of 8-12 hours initial charge, regardless if it says the battery is full, then i will do 3-4 complete charges and discharges.

at that point you are good to go to charge anytime you like. alot of places will tell you to not let it go below 20% and thats ok, but be sure to charge it all the way.

The more times you take it off the charger before its full, the greater chance you have of hurting the battery.

all i know is that when i charge it with the wall charger the battery drains very fast. where as with a usb port on a computer... it seems to last alot longer.

what does the evo manual say about how to charge the battery? i personally have never looked.
[EVO 4G General] CollegeFresh:
Well, the point I was trying to make is that roms and apps are a big part of saving battery. If you want to have a longer lasting battery you should turn off radios when not using them and undervolt as well. Baked snack is an undervolted rom with a good kernel that helps save battery and ultimate juice/juice defender turn off radios for you and have various settings for helping you get a long battery life.

I get 50 hours easily with moderate usage and right now my phone has been on the same battery percentage for 8 hours while playing music for around 1 hour, receiving a couple of texts, 10 min of phone calls, checking internet for 10 min, and having around 1-2 signal bars.

It also helps a lot when you don't use the wall charger, it just plain sucks. When I used it my charge dropped anywhere from 100% to 87-92% in 10 minutes. But with a wall charger from ebay where you put the battery in it, it stays at 100% for a couple of hours so you get an extra 10% and it lasts a lot longer as well.
[EVO 4G General] Systemfraud:
I don't mean the wall charger like.. the one HTC gives, I'm talking about the wall charger where you actually put the battery into it.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
i will have to research this but the batteries are the same, only one has more cells.

the only thing the phone does is read the voltage of the battery.

and they are the same whether it is a 1 cell or 3 cell battery.

one just hold more charge.

but i could definitely see where the phone might jack with the charge.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I'm curious if one could split the difference between quick charging and complete charging by charging via the wall charger up to say 80 or 90% then switching to USB for the rest of the charge?
[EVO 4G General] MSmith1:
You'd think that was the case but its not.
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
Do this guys, and forget about the battery. Use your minds for something more interesting...
