Battery Results

Guys, I just wanted to share my battery results. Right after flashing this ROM i kept the #15 kernel, then about 3 days I switched to the caulkin modded #15. Both gave me about the same battery life - average at best. Last night I switched to 4.3.1-cfs-havs-sbc. All I can say is WOW. Just after one day I've seen huge improvements! I've never had this amazing battery life before. I attached some screen-shots of it. I have no other tweaks, no setcpu or anything like that. No juice defender, nothing. I am absolutely amazed at the battery life. This is with HEAVY use. I mean I was on it all day while I was at work from 8-4:30. I mean all day except for an hour or so at lunch, and then I even made a 15 minute call. For the most part I was web browsing, on the XDA app, Facebook, and YouTubing, sent out about 50 texts, and made about 3 calls. Oh and I was streaming Pandora for a couple hours as well. Honestly blown away with the performance and the battery life. I know I've seen better results, but for me, this is the best I've gotten by far. So I got about 6.5 hours of of HEAVY usage out of it, with it being off the charger for almost 12 hours. ( I had to throw the last screen-shot in there :D)

Thanks so much for this...I thought I was totally screwed out of the beta after the latest OTA. I really appreciate this post!
[EVO 4G Android Development] luist4498:
Not trying to be an a$$ or anything but...........you did read the warning about the SBC kernels right? I use them myself but just making sure you know the possible "dangers" of them.

red market theme

does anyone know of a red market theme that works with rls 5? thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
After reinstalling the Warm themed Market, go into Titanium Backup and "freeze" the Market Updater. That'll stop it from changing.

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] packattack12:
Hey thanks for the input man. yeah I did read about it. But just like you said the possible "dangers", I don't really buy it. Plus I'd rather get more use per charge than have it last longer over it's life time, if we're so called "burning it up". I don't see if "blowing" up or anything like that either. So I'm gonna stick with it til someone has a serious problem.

I really like the animation but it gets cut short when booting up my Evo

I hope someone can help me out with a strange 4g issue

First off all, I've done my research and know about the adfree fix for slow data speeds. However, my 3g is fine. My 4g is really lagging and I'm not sure if it's the rom or tower issues. I'm in an area with excellent 4g (near Philly). Pages load up half way sometimes more and just hang. Actually let me clarify, it depends on the page. For example if I were to load up the desktop version of xda the bar would show that the page is still loading but everything on the page appears to be loaded. Now if I go speakeasy.net/speedtest the page will only load half way and just hang.

Is it the rom? I don't want to switch back to a factory rooted rom just to find out although I guess I can if that's the only solution. I really like myn's and have so many customizations that I don't want to switch.

[EVO 4G Android Development] luist4498:
I hear ya man! I stayed away from them for a while but just had to try them after seeing the amazing results my friends where having with them. My battery temps are lower while charging than before and it shuts off charge automatically when it is full (per batt monitor widget). Plus i have like 5 spare batteries anyway in case one does "blow", LOL!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
just to try something, do you have adfree turned off or on? if on, try turning it off and see if you notice a change in 4G loading times...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
for those that flashed the sd card speed fix, did you use calk's 128 or the "sdreadahead-signed 256.zip" one posted earlier?
[EVO 4G Android Development] secondskin:
Ok, I will try that now.

Edit: How do you turn adfree off? I see options to use custom IP or symlink.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
hit the revert button. may have to reboot. (hot restart will work)
[EVO 4G Android Development] secondskin:
Ok. Thanks trying now.

So far that seemed to do the trick. Actually, I totally uninstalled adfree and did a hot restart. Now, is it safe to redownload adfree. From what I understand it must be updated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnny tsunami:
K I kinda have the same problem as the guy with 4g issues and pages not loading up except that it is when I connect to my WiFi I get pages loading up and its stops about halfway I flashed the new radios but feel I probably shouldn't have. Any suggestions or ideas?

Go figure after rebooting my device the market silently updated again...wtf? lol I uninstalled the market and the updates so how is it updating lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Steve98124:
I am in the same boat. I've frozen adfree, updated profile, ##data#/Data Profile/menu/restore, ##3282# change wimax settings, Tried different Roms and kernels. I can connect to 4g but rarely get a page to load. they start, but don't finish. Even with 2 bars. I've made it work by sitting right by a tower but otherwise, not much luck on 4g. Everything else is fine.

I'm using Myn5, Net4.3.2 CFS, Baseband 2.15.00.11.19, PRI 1.77 .0003 hardware.

If you find something that helps I'm sure I'd enjoy some 4g speed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jprovan1:
Where do I find this kernel and other kernels besides the ones on the front page of this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] secondskin:
I'm in the processing of testing now but so far all I did was uninstall adfree and did a hot restart and my 4g is working great again. The only thing I'm not sure about is since adfree's host files have been updated, I'm guessing that I will have to reinstall it from the market.

I originally installed adfree right off the bat after loading the rom for the first time and then immediately moved it to my sdcard (I'm a space whore). I've went through so many updates on adfree that doing a uninstall to start fresh just might be the trick.

Try uninstalling adfree then restart your phone.

Edit: Jbermi was originally who recommended I revert my hosts on adfree. Just want to give credit where it's due.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
I use, (and wrote), the 256. It's flawless. I (and a lot of others) get consistent speeds of 2-3/10. The 128 was giving me 2/5 (with a class 2 16G card).

You could actually go up to 512 or 1,024, but at some point it'd start having a reverse effect...it'd slow things down.

I modified the original 128 to 256 and flashed it. I also modified calk's 128 to 256 and flashed it also. 256 is giving me 10mb/s write and 16mb/s reads with a 16gb class 10 card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tolo3:
Check my signature. There is a much smaller file and now its a signed flashable zip that should finish in time, but probably not on the first boot. Caching something maybe?

y/w i like the latest beta better than ota also

i am using the microphone and google voice action speak now more and more.

it recognizes my unique voice and does well !

even though i started off stock myn,

only the dialer remains stock RLS 5 -

oh wait - nope - koni's awesome evo elite theme -

the numbers are in boxes

oh well Buckeyeman - it's the ROM that counts! :)

dumb question,

but does that also keep other available app updates

[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
neil's zip starts you at 256 after flashing it.

no matter what kernel you use,

no flashing/rebooting required for testing (or setting) different read ahead buffer sizes.

use root explorer or es file manager

and go to /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0

and open read_ahead_kb file

using text editor or file editor

and change the size to 4,128,256,512 (have been numbers mentioned)

it will ask for confirmation

and then you see immediately what the size change does for you
[EVO 4G Android Development] flyboy1100:
Anyone have issues with the dialer starting to screw up calls after a few weeks of running myn's? Happened to me on rls4 and it is happening again on rls5. Google voice will go through but not the normal phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
and with your evo ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
8 chars thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I have not experienced any issues, though you may want to elaborate on what exactly is happening. I highly doubt the ROM would be a cause for something randomly breaking the dialer after a couple weeks of normal usage.

One of, if not the first Android app I ever bought. (Can't remember if it was that or PowerAmp) I use it as my main file explorer, hardly use Astro anymore. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
the toss up question:

do you think honeycomb will somehow find it's way, eventually, to the htc evo ?

or tablets only ?

in my book, GB was pretty lame

HC looks like a significant change
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
The general thought process right now is that 3.0 (HC) is just for tablets and 2.3 (GB) and subsequently 2.4 (Ice Cream expected summer of 2011) will be the phone based OS. None of this is confirmed by google though.

That certainly doesn't preclude an unofficial port from the wonderful world of XDA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
i've been having a muting problem - i guess. calling another cell, i can hear them, they say they can't hear me. even when i look at see that mute is not on. i'm trying to think, i know it happens from my home (not good signal in this bunker), but also out and about.

anything i can change in settings ##*##*#**#** to help with that ?

Astro is a good workhorse/easier to use when not dealing with root/internal

i got Pro - what did that do for me ? :) that's right - no ads

hey - supporting devs is good !

There are numbers I call everyday for work, they don't work. I get put into someone elses conversation our the call simply will never connect. When it happened on rls4 I installed a stock rooted rom and the issue stopped. It just started again today on rls5
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Dude. The Evo got a lot of ROM ports first. Gingerbread, MIUI, the Meizu M9 ROM, etc. I'm confident this phone will live on way past its shelf life. Kind of like the HD2, which is like the Evo x 2, but that's cause they're family ;)

The HD2 does:

WM 6.5

WP7

Meego

Maemo

Android

Ubuntu

IT CAN EVEN DUAL BOOT WINDOWS PHONE 7 AND ANDROID. It doesn't even need Windows to be there anymore to boot into Android. I hope the Evo lasts as long as this thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Hmm...That is definitely strange. But it does work on Myn's at first? And then after a few weeks it doesn't? Or it never does. That is the part that didn't make much sense.

Are these numbers that are longer than a typical 10 digit number? It may have something to do with that, or how it is dealing with automatically dialing 1 when necessary?

Just throwing stuff at the wall here really...trying to be of some sort of help. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
I got a few PM requests to make these mods to the SD Read Ahead zips.

Here they are, self-titled. Flash as you would anything. They're "permanent" unless/until you either flash another one over it (to change cache size), or flash another ROM (then simply re-run one).

After rebooting, run the following to double-check everything worked properly:

In ADB -

adb shell cat /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

In Terminal Emulator -

(first, type) su (then when you get the # sign type)

cat /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

And here's the SD Card Speed test so you can see how fast you're running ahead.

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] jgalan14:
The HD 2 is not the old if I remember right it came out March 2010 so I hope evolution deveploment last longer for those people the love the phone myself I hope sprint releases something good this summer better then the Evo, I switch phones every year sometimes twice and the evolution is the one the lasted it the longest with my old iPhone. Anyways I hope HTC releases Gb for this phone and myns to do his mods :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
That is only partially correct, it came out in November 2009 in Europe (they get most phones before the US). It has been around for what seems like forever and continues to be relevant where as the life for most are 6 months to a year. XDA and other devs are mostly responsible for that relevance. The fact that the EVO is a US only CDMA device kind of hurts its chances of sticking around as long as the HD2, but I think it will continue to have quite a bit of development for the foreseeable future.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flyboy1100:
Standard 10 digit number, worked fine for last 3 weeks, quit today. If I reinstall myns or any other rom they will work again. Updating profile or prl out reboot doesn't fix issue
[EVO 4G Android Development] tolo3:
Ok. You are awesome. The 512 returns 6/18 w/r on my card. At 256 I got like 4 or 5 w and 15 read. 1024 reverts me back to 128? Maybe it can't handle 4 digits?? Going to click thanks on computer next.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Well then...in that case I am not going to be much help at all. I would say the next time it happens try just clearing the data for phone/dialer in the settings menu (Settings>Apps>Mang Apps) and see if that fixes it to save you a complete reflash.

I used Myn's OTA 3.29 for a few days and have decided to take the leap (for the first time) and try a custom rom. I am currently loving myn's Warm with Kings kernal #9.

My question: if I go back to Myn's OTA will it replace Kings #9 with the stock kernel? Or if I go back to a completely stock unrooted ROM (not that I would ever want to) would the PC36IMG replace Kings #9 with the stock kernel?

Kind of new to this and don't really get the different parts of the OS yet (ROM, kernal, etc.)

Thanks!

flashing boot animations can be unreliable I've found. I simple just copy and paste the bootanimation.zip and boot sound (titled SPC_animation_final.mp3) and, in a file explorer, go to system>customize>resource and place the files there which overwrites the original ones.

If you're try to flash a zip, inside of that zip should be the bootanimation.zip and boot sound (if there is supposed to be one).

I do this with root explorer. but it can be with any file explorer.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Androidious:
Typically, some EVOs have issues with OCing too high. The magic number is 1152000. Most people's EVOs that go any higher typically will freeze and reboot. So, be sure not to go above that number. Also, if you still experience problems below that number or equal, then go down a little bit. Even some have issues when the setting is too high for it.

Just make sure not to check 'Set on boot' until you've tested the new clock settings and know that is works correctly.

If you have already checked that setting and you are unable to get back into SetCPU due to freezing/reboots, then place a file named "setcpu_safemode"

in the root of your SD card and it'll boot up setcpu in safe mode and stop it from setting you kernel at the problem number that you had issues with. After you're able to fix the problem in SetCPU, be sure to delete that file in the root of SD card so that you can boot up normally again. Good luck :)
