I'm going to jump in here. I read your post about HAVS and it explains a lot to me. Now I know this is a total noob question but I'm new to this stuff myself and am just trying to understand it. What does CFS stand for? I noticed a lot of kernels are the same version number just one is CFS and one is HAVS. Any response would be appreciated. :)

Never mind you can dis-regard this! I'm reading the link ricsim78 posted and it's quite helpful!
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
You can "install" it yourself on any Sense based ROM by deleting htclockscreen.apk from system/app.

If you do, you wont be able to turn off the default alarm clock. Installing any third party clock will bypass that issue.

Calkulin has a zip that will change the lockscreen and install the AOSP alarm clock for you.

what i have always used, as it is best for battery and performance

for my device is

Anthrax ftw
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenny111008:
To change kernels do I have to reflash the Rom and theme? Or can I just flash over the kernel I'm using now I'm running now
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
Just flash it. At most, if you run into issues-like a bootloop-then wipe cache and dalvik and reflash. No need to reinstall the ROM or theme.

Look at Post #1 for a starting point of which kernels to try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sqeet:
For those of you running Anthrax, what are the changes you notice with your particular version? Is it worth upgrading to from RC3?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenny111008:
decided to go ahead and flash anthrax bets 4 with netarchys universal kernal.. any thoughts of my outcome???? can i apply the revolution theme to this or not?
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
Just do it and let us know speed and batt life. I am also considering your choices.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigbiff:
I installed b4 anthrax with Kingklick cfs #10. I removed some sense components manually because the sense removal script I use causes bootloops. I applied the No Sense revolution theme from airbourne with no issues. After that I applied the smooth add-on for the revolution theme.

Will let you guys know if I have any problems. But the biggest change is the transitions are like myn's ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
What its doing is installing the file to ur sdcard n leaveing it their. It does that to me n what i do is cancel it n reload again, that way it actually downloads it to ur phone. Idk why it does that but its not a big deal for me i can just go into my sd and install the file lol. But that rite there is ur answer budd, take a look n see for yourself :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Hulu will not work w the new base out 3.28, it will work tho w the 3.26 base. The reason bein is that the new base has a new stagefright in it that wont allow hulu to start up n thats why you get the unsupported device problem, but w the old base you can watch hulu w the latest flash :) so if u like hulu that much jump on to the 3.26 base roms and not the 3.28 which arent compatible just yet :D

Hope that helpd out bro

Hey Tiff....using the Damge Control compatible one. But I really like the plain stock one as my daily driver.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Taupakari:
I just flashed this ROM yesterday and I have to say THANK YOU. I am absolutely blown away by the polish and speed on this ROM. I have run Damage Control ROMs since I rooted my Evo two days after I got it on launch day and you have done an incredibly good job. You and I have the same taste in themes, particularly the Virus theme, which is a real bonus. I wish you the best of luck and please keep up this ROM and make it the best out there. It's too bad that Damage Control has apparently been abandoned but I won't look back after trying out Virus.

I have one request and one only. When using the scrolling widgets (Friend Stream and HTC Calendar widget Agenda view) the background remains while I scroll. Basically, it looks like I'm scrolling entries over a static background of the same stuff I'm lookng at. If that gets cleared up I would consider this ROM to be perfect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ryno_666:
Love it , Got revolution theme and is killer.

OMG I sooo want into this rom but I need senseless... Any update???
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
senseless is getting close guys ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
which theme??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Taupakari:
The VirusX theme. If I'm looking at the Friend Stream widget, for example, and scroll downward, the text that was visible at the start is still behind the scrolling text. It's like a ghost image of what was originally within the widget window.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frettfreak:
Hmm... I will take a look in a bit.. Thats odd.. and if thats the case it should be no bigs.. But what directory does it go to?
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
I'm on X Theme and those widgets scroll normally.

Did you delete/replace the widgets?

Try deleting them off of your home screens, reboot, and reapply them.

Just a thought.

Man kings #8 bfs rapes me. It hangs on boot or loops boot. I wipe cache and delvik. Still loops. Any ideas anyone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] edufur:
How exactly are you installing? I posted a note on bootloop avoidance.

If you are installing Base + Kernel only... there should be no problem.

If you are installing a theme... you MUST install "back to stock" before the theme.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pestilencec11:
I did just that. Rom+ kernel. Reboot. Stock then them. I had to install cfs 8. Rebooted wiped cache+ delvik then install bfs 8 reboot. Loop or hang. Have to pull battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
That is not an absolute.

I installed the base, let it reboot, then installed the theme.

No bootloops.

Then just as a test I flashed over to a completely different ROM based on the 3.26 build.

I then followed Virus' instructions from Post #1.

I flashed Base ROM/Kernel-kings BFS#8/X Theme with a reboot between each one.

No problems, no bootloops.

Have you run kings #8 before? Kernels do not always respond the same across devices.

I have an idea which may help.

Try flashing the stock version of the kernel that king's #8 is based on.

View attachment StockKernel.32.zip

Flash that then try King's #8

Wipe cache and dalvik twice before each flash.

I know people say two wipes are not needed but it's what I do and I rarely encounter issues.

Good luck.

[EVO 4G Android Development] kenny111008:
so far i flashed anthranx beta 4 and netarchys universal kernal with revolution theme and the rom is very smooth im going through my usual stuff now but will post back later or tomrrow to talk about performance and battery life. on first boot up there was no lag and everything is smooth and snappy hopefully it stays that way and i have a small question since the kernal im using uses HAVS would it be smart to use juice defenders cpu throttling or not?? i do want to overclock my phone but im not sure if HAVS does that already
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigbiff:
You have to use SetCPU or overclock widget to set the frequency of your CPU. HAVS just dynamically changes the voltage from the battery for system components depending on the current power requirements needed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenny111008:
so why do people say that using set CPU is bad when using HAVS ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigbiff:
Dunno, but they are different beasts. CPU frequency's relationship with voltage is when you change frequencies different voltages can be used to satisfy the frequency's stability. When you get to higher frequencies, you need more juice to support that frequency. Lower frequencies can use less voltage therefore saving battery. HAVS can work with whatever frequency you set but depending on the HAVS table for lower and upper voltage limits per CPU frequency, you may have more or less instability than other phones.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
While I am sure you are correct (at least to an extent), there is a good reason why King himself suggests not to use SetCPU with his kernels. I can confirm that I got better battery life by not even having SetCPU installed so there must be truth behind it.

SetCPU is a good program and does what it is advertised to do, but it is better used on a kernel that does not have HAVS and even still can causes a lot of problems in usage. Slowdowns, too high voltages/temps, early battery death, and other problems.

Also, all these people overclocking their phones for no to very modest noticeable difference is mind boggling. All you are doing is killing your battery and the 10-12% overclock is not going to make your phone faster on a perceivable level. I see a lot of situations where people are overclocking and complaining about bad battery life. Well, what do you expect? You are running your phone at higher voltage than it is designed for and the Evo goes through battery fast thanks to all the features even at stock!

My computer has a Core i7 920 and yes I am overclocked. But I am overclocking 30% higher than stock, I have the Megahalems (one of the best coolers) and Diamond 7 Carat thermal compound. Yes I see a huge difference but I also improved the cooling capacity. This is a phone, not a fan cooler PC and you cannot do much to improve the cooling and you are going to be running your phone a lot hotter for a modest overclock. Who knows the long term effects of messing with the CPU speed? No one because these phones are not that old yet.

When using the proper kernel, I can attest that the Evo is fast enough as it is, mine screams and I do not even have SetCPU installed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenny111008:
Okay so to be 100% sure if I'm understanding right I shouldn't use juice defenders CPU throttling while running this kernel ??? I want the best battery life possible

EDIT!.. I was only planning on using juice defenersCPU throttlingto lower the CPU when the screen is off I wasn't going to useit to raise the frequency above 998
[EVO 4G Android Development] catdeerduck:
I can't seem to be able to install this rom. I'm using Cyanogenmod 6 with snap kernel with snapturbo installed. When i install it and reboot it just stays at the Evo screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pestilencec11:
Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik? I do those 3, 2 times each to be safe. Install rom only reboot, then power down boot recovery install kernel or theme, I do theme then kernel. Make sure you reboot between each install to insure phone is working. Let phone try to boot for at least 5-10 mins. If it doesn't boot. Pull battery and try to boot normally. Hope this helps. And as always do a nandroid. :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
Try it for a day or 2 with Juice Defender, then a day or 2 without and see for yourself.

With HAVS and one less program running in the background I am willing to bet that running Juice Defender is going to lose compared to not running it. The same with SetCPU, the more programs running, the faster your battery gets eaten up. Both JD and SCPU run in the background at all times.

Plus, HAVS does the same thing you are trying to do with either JD or SCPU. I use neither and use my phone heavily and my battery lasts a long time.

If you want a method to get better battery life that really works, please read my guide in my signature, Common misconceptions and other useful information.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenny111008:
ive read ur post and i was considering doing the battery wipe if the phone doesnt last me the whole day.. thanks for the help i will be trying both with and without hopefully this kernal does good in my phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] ricsim78:
These phones are all the same, but results can be vastly different when it comes to overclocking ability, speed, etc. It is weird but makes sense. Every CPU is made from a different part of the wafer, that is why each CPU requires more or less voltage to reach the same overclock.

This is why your question seems simple to answer but is not in reality. My phone and yours can get similar results, but likely we would have totally different results.

I hope you find my guide useful, I am trying to cover as many bases as possible and keep it updated as much as possible. I highly suggest everyone read it, feel free to add your own insight and I will be happy to add it if I feel it is helpful with credit to the person who contributed the information (like you will see).

I also should tell you that I tried Juice Defender and after a while it started causing my phone to have random problems (would not sleep or shut off the screen by itself, random messaging and other problems). That is why I do not run it personally.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blockhead428:
Thank you sooo much!! But alas, it didn't work. Putting the htclockscreen.apk back into the folder does not bring back the lockscreen associated with the theme. Any other way to get it without reflashing the theme?

HELP, I installed the MMS Compression tweak

After i put the MMS Compression tweak and the other MMS Tweak that is posted, I cannot download MMS Pictures that i am sent , it says, Generic Network Fail, "Failed to Download" is the a tweak to reverse these tweaks i installed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] iknowsquat:
Where and how did you move the file?

Did you make /system writable?

Did you place it in /system/app?

If you did get a successful file placement did you restart Sense or reboot?

If all else fails reflashing the theme should be painless, its not like reflashing a ROM, all data and settings should remain intact.

The tweaks are for sending and should not have any effect on receiving. Ive applied those tweaks on multiple ROMs and not had an issue.

While I'm having zero MMS issues I do see that error being reported across ROMs in the last day or two. Sprint says its not them but I'd put my money on some temporary network issue. Give it day and see if it clears.

I just recently loaded Virus ROM to my EVO (first custom ROM-deep breath) and so far I love it. I went with the toastmod kernel suggested at the beginning of this forum and with some uncertainty and a little research managed to update the other parts as well.

So, my question is, has anyone else noticed a long pause when loading up the home screen sometimes? Is there a setting or something I can update to help this? I'm currently: Baseband-2.15.00.09.01; Kernel-toastmod 4.1.8-cfs; Virus RC3; PRI-1.77_003; PRL-60670

Also, any suggestions on this config to run smoother or faster?

So what if we use set CPU for the profile settings only? Set em all to powersave except the overclock setting. Set that even a little low and demand. It is Still fast. Adjust as needed but never higher than 998400. Wouldn't that compliment havs?

It seems it would. Do havs kernels "underclock" appropriately? In other words, when I set my profile for screen off (the most important for battery life IMO) to 245/245. Does havs minimize the CPU clock speed automatically, does the kernel do that? Or do we need set CPU profiles for that.

If we have crap running in Android's background (eg the task killing debate)is it running my clock speed up while the screen is off (assuming no set CPU profile is active)? These are the questions that get to the heart of what the debate of havs with or without set CPU should be getting at.

Can a Dev or someone who is not speculating give a solid answer on this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenny111008:
well today i got 13 hours with barely any usage and i was using juice defender to minimize my clock while screen of to 245 and other settings and i feel like that is horrible i should be getting way more battery life then that considering i barely used it.. im going to test it this way one more time then test w.o JD and see which makes my battery last longer but i agree that maybe a dev should clear things up because i think we all want max battery life out of our phones

I was running RC3 and then I flashed Airbourne but I started having issues downloading items from the Market. They just hang out 'starting download'.

I wiped my caches and decided to rebuild RC3 from the ground up (previously I had just flashed over the previous version of VirusROM), however I still can't install anything off the market.

I cleared the market application cache but I'm still stuck here with no downloads from the market.

Your thoughts?

Update:

So here's a strange one for you all-

Even through a reboot with an SD card remounting, it would not work. In frustration, decided to flash another rom to see if the issue carried over. During the time between opening up my SD card on my PC and back to my phone, things started to download from the market.
