​

Lots of good info on my webpage, I will no longer be using the name I used before because I will be putting up a large app review section, as well as choosing the top dawg roms and reviewing them.

UPDATES (newest in red)::

:::::::::::::::::UPDATE 3/17:::::::::::::

Ziggy 471 kernels added. Perform damn well for HTC based kerns. Very excited!

:::::::::::::UPDATE 3/16:::::::::SavagedZen 2.1's:::::::

ok, this new kernel rocks. SZ .2.0 Is up on my website for download and for voting and it's on the graphs. Amazing results to say the least. Most significant battery changes in a long long time. Closest to 42 on linpack ever. They just released a .2.1cfs so I assume they forgot something in the .2.0's. Usually that is what happens when they release a .x.1 right after a .x.0 So I will update the downloads accordingly. But I know that the .2.0s perform bugfree for my everyday use. Maybe it was just the SZ governor they forgot to merge again or whatever, I dunno, I'll look into it. Enjoy the results.

I am absolutely not allowed to tell you to click on my ads. But do what you think is right. and try to do it every time you visit the page lol.

!!DON'T FORGET TO VOTE WHILE YOUR ON THERE SINCE YOU'RE GONNA BE THERE ANYWAYS.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP FINDING THESE KERNELS AS THEY DROP!!

[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
Wow, great work, that's a lot of info in there.

Are you planning to test some of the non-sense kernels? I saw somone post a quadrant score over 1700 with the MiUI test rom, would be interesting to see some of the AOSP results.
[EVO 4G General] dmc971989:
awesome work man... its gonna be great to see everything side by side like that

one question tho: no love for the AOSP kernels?

edit: apparently I have been beaten to the punch
[EVO 4G General] JArcher84:
looks like King's # 6 is the best all around...

from what i saw....i could be wrong
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
yeah, AOSP kernels would be great to see data for compared to all of these 'almost the samey' kernels.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
and I'm back from work lol!

Yeah aosp kernels I am going to do add in next. I just tested snap with turbo, and LOL omfg 2500 in quad is insane.

Linpacks didn't go up though, so it must not have been dalvik vm optimizations. I wonder what turbo really is.... hrmm

And yeah, on sense roms i use kings 6bfs as my daily driver. Error free, smooth as silk, and lightning fast, all with amazing battery life.. Kings 7bfs and 8cfs had some really weird problems and I wont touch it. It was jerky as hell, didn't score well. I tried several wipes/reflashes/redownloads, etc. without resolving it.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
very nice!! thanks for the contribution!

ive been doing the same thing charting rom (with and without custom kernels) development progress from 2.1 stock all the way till now with fresh and netarchy.

Its just fun to see how fast the phone has gotten through the months since release.

Dunno if and when i'll get the time to illustrate the data, but its been my little side quest too!!

cheers homie.
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Can't wait for the AOSP kernel results! nice work!
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
Great work. However, if I may offer a suggestion, please add the stock kernels so we have an idea as to how they compare?
[EVO 4G General] MrInquisition:
I too would love to see a comparison to stock. I haven't made the jump to a new kernel yet, but I want to soon and this thread is great for helping me pick which one.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
This is a great idea. I don't know how I overlooked that. I will add them very very soon. Possibly tonight if i have time.
[EVO 4G General] netarchy:
That's actually very interesting, plus it gives me some numbers I can look at improving on as well ;D
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Hey netarchy, glad to see a kernel dev in here~! Woot. Let me know if you have a new kernel in development, a updated version of 4.1.9.1, or any other one you want to send me to test out and add to the list.

We all appreciate your hard work and contributions.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Htc 6 and 7 kernels added in the mix! Eat it up peoples. It's easy to see why 7 has everyone praising it over battery life. It has an extremely low idle power draw, and that is what most people's phones do 90 percent of the time anyways.

will someone please send me the 3.29 kernel from the new OTA? send it to ttechnology@comcast.net or skylerdprahl@gmail.com and I'll have it on the list tomorrow. FPS Unlocked straight from htc??? ZOMG they listened to evo owners WOOOOOOHOOOO!. This should lead to some interesting hacked versions of it. They fixed the battery life, and now this. You'd think they care or something lol.
[EVO 4G General] sedracer:
super impressive, i just rooted a couple of my friends' evo's this evening and this was super helpful. I'm on cyanogen but they both wanted to stay with sense. will definitely donate on payday, hope you get the aosp kernels added in.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
2500? Keep pushing, some people are getting up to 2800... ;)
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Was using King's 9bfs honestly lol. I never found anything that made me really want to switch. Since last night i have been using the ziggy update and it is idling great on my daily build. HIttin 60ma's with the screen off, and I assume it will be a little better on my super slimmed down testing build. I'll nandroid over and update the graphs later today.
[EVO 4G General] roblin00:
skydeaner the links for the setcpu profiles don't work,just thought i'd let you know.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:

[EVO 4G General] achllles:
Sky, which kernels allow minimum frequency of 128 via setcpu? I know Net's BFS that's on my sig do, but wondering what others do. I think HTC, and Ziggy's were 245 minimum.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Most of the netarchy kernels do
[EVO 4G General] luieavila:
Have you tested the HTC #10 kernel? I don't think I see it in the charts. Keep up the great work.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Yes I have. Maybe I forgot to add it back in when I deleted everything.

No, it's on there. It will only be in the composite results along with all the other most recent kernels. I haven't had time to make seperate graphs for AOSP and HTC lately.

EDIT

HOLY MOTHER OF BALLS!

That new zendroid is averaging 46ma at complete idle. Good fricken god. That's some cool stuff.
[EVO 4G General] quocamole:
hey skydeaner,

some site feedback:

i think the screen off/min cpu chart is mis-titled (reads: "lcd - on / min cpu)

again, great work. best comparison of kernels anywhere.

htc kernel 11 is up there...when did that come out?
[EVO 4G General] dtrammell:
Before kernel 10 :p
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Quite possible lol, I'll look at it, thank you for letting me know.

And thank you for that as well :)
[EVO 4G General] The Lance:
I know this is kinda n00bish question but this seems like a very good place to ask this question..

I would like to know which of the sense compatible kernals that have the ability to overclock the evo's processor and get the best benchmark results with the stock 2.2 froyo rom I am running build number 3.30.652.2

is someone here kind enough to tell me a good kernal to run that doesn't cause any glitches. I tried most of the sense compatible kernals and most of them did not boot up or ran really crappy with the stock rom.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
WOW Basically all of the kernels on the page run circles around the stock kernel and don't have any bugs. You must have installed them wrong. There is no other option.

When installed correctly though I would recommend king's 11CFS or netarch 4.1.9.1CFS Less Agressive. That will make sure there are no bugs and both perform very well with very novel battery performance.
[EVO 4G General] quocamole:
if the newer kernels don't work with your phone (like me), try king #6 bfs, net 4.1.8 bfs or baked snack 6.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Zendroid man on both the CFS and BFS versions they come in at 46ma and just like always when I test it I don't record that number unless it is a consistant idle. It sets at 46ma like it doesn't know how to go higher or something lol. Constant 46ma draw. He is schoolin the pack on battery savings for people that don't use their phone much :) Good job my friend, hope to see you in this thread soon!

And I very much agree with this statement. Although baked 6 doesn't like to run well on other roms than it's own sometimes. It runs, it's just nothing to write home about.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
What kernel are you talking about as far as the 46ma draw is concerned? I'd like to give that one a try. :)
[EVO 4G General] catseyenu:

New meat, HTC #17.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
woot and thanks for the link.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
it was the .3.1 bfs but it had some other problems. I'd try the .4's if you want some good batteryness. But I haven't tested them yet.

Ok, so htc 17, .4's of those. Anyone see any other kernels.

EDIT

Ok htc17 zen.3.1's and .4's all uploaded. All graphs in all sections are back up to date. Downloads coming later tonight as well probably.

EDIT

downloads should be up.

Thanks everyone for keeping me up to date on the kernels. If you guys see any more, say something in here, I check this thread daily.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
FIXED now, thanks again :D

Getting an error when trying to download stock kernal #17 from your webpage skydeaner.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
haha, just looked at the data and stuff...i find it funny that the non havs netarchy kernels have a lower voltage than the havs kernels.
[EVO 4G General] CCallahan:
Awesome stuff skydeaner....

Have a small question about the setCPU section of your website. You list a few downloadable profiles for running Netarchy 4.2.1 BFS/HAVS/more aggressive and setCPU.

However, in the post for Netarchy 4.2.1, Netarchy states this: Also you should consider disabling setcpu profiles, as they are hopefully unnecessary

Are there any particular reasons why you are still using profiles?

Just curious.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
With the smartass governor, you dont necessarily need the setCPU profiles because smartass governor is supposed to underclock your phone to those low speeds anyways...however...using the profiles is like a safety measure. Smartass governor only underclocks when your phone is sleeping, not while the screen is off. So if you have something keeping your phone awake, the governor wont underclock.
[EVO 4G General] CCallahan:
This may be a stupid question, but how does one tell when the phone is in sleep mode or just has the screen turned off? Thought it was the same thing.
[EVO 4G General] nrinzema:
Thanks for the great write up. I was hoping you would have more info on feature compatibility when selecting kernels. Would you loose 4G or proper camera functionality with an alternate kernel?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] catseyenu:
Settings/About Phone/Up Time vs Awake Time
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
AFAIK, you shouldn't lose 4G on any of the kernels (unless it's for an AOSP ROM). You may lose camera functionality if you have a 003 or 004 EVO with the new camera, at least until HTC releases the source code for the 3.30 software updates.
[EVO 4G General] frankthetoad:
This is probably a ridiculous question...but here goes:

I'm calibrating my battery and the last step is "turn phone on into recovery". I only know how to go into recovery using ROM Manager. How do I go into recovery when my phone is off? Do I hold the volume down button while powering on, or am I supposed to go into recovery using ROM Manager.

Apologies for the noob question...but I'm learning!
[EVO 4G General] dtrammell:
You got it - Volume Down + Power, then choose Recovery.
[EVO 4G General] SUTHRNFRIED:
So I followed the battery calibration to the letter and have lost 16% already with light use when normally I would have only lost about 10% or even less... am I missing something or is this normal and to be expected?

Thank you.

EDIT: the drop was in the first hour of use with only 3g service running, no WiFi, Bluetooth, etc...

Anxiously waiting for an update. However, your health is more important than anything, so take your time. :)
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
I hear ya on that flash addict comment lol.

I will be testing the new ziggy today.

The new zendroid still has problems. I have been discussing it with him. I don't want to post the results until I know that it is going to be stable. Without an overclock it keeps rebooting me into the white evo screen and no matter how many times i reboot after that it won't let me back into the OS unless I flash a new kernel or oddly enough unless I flash zendroid again. Really weird stuff.

But they will come soon.

Well that is if I can pry the phone away from my kid's hands. The app "Kid Mode" from zoodles is like ****in crack for 2 year olds.

Not that I am promoting toddler drug use.....

Oh yeah so zendroid .9's? I think they are. Smoking fast, can't wait til it gets fixed. Owns the benchies.

Can't wait to try that ziggy. I should get stuff done tonight. FYI I am adding google ads to my website. So when you are on there every time try to click on that **** a couple hundred times. My hip replacements are going to cost me a ton.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Thanks everyone keep clicking lol. 3 clicks on the banner so far. It really is going to make at least a little money for my medical bills if you guys click on the banner. I have the testing done for Ziggys most recent now and will update once my rugrats go to slept. I appreciate all of you very much.

Ziggy's kernel did spectacular...you should see how close the scores are lol, it really lets you know how accurate my testing is (not to toot my own horn). By keeping all variables except for the kernel every time identical it makes the tests very accurate.

Well anyways. He managed to keep all his bench scores maintained at 100% and drop his powerdraw down substantially. This is what kernel development is all about. Keeping the performance and cutting the power down. Def a very viable every day kernel. Nice Job Ziggster... yeah I said ziggster.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Ah and this, I forgot about you for a while sorry.

All kernels I test and link for download have full functionality. If they aren't in my download section then they may not.

Full functionality on the AOSP kernels is different though. Every kernel tested has a working camera/camcorder. Every kernel tested does not have working 4g. Still waiting on fixes for this. It goes deeper than just the kernel.
[EVO 4G General] timdawgdentist:
Sorry if I crapped in your cornflakes but I was just trying to say experiment. If you are flashing kernels you have a basic hold on everything doing with the evo. Sure i have a stock rooted rom but everyones use is different. So try a few kernels out.

tim

Oh and decaf maybe
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
I wasn't offended at all, I agree 100%, experiment with a few and find one that fits you best.

EDIT : Oh shizzz, i see what happened. I quoted the wrong person. I absolutely agree with you and your answer to Spacemonky in post 221

At the beginning of my frantic typing. Very sorry for that friend. I will no go edit it so it doesn't look like i was asking you why what you said keeps getting repeated... when really what you said should be repeated over and over. You aren't going to find one that fits you best without trying out a few.

me too, after following these directions (to the t) and after my reboot my battery widget said 95%!!!!! not even 100% immediately after being on the charger for all this time!!!!!!!!!. then it proceeded to drop to 81% within 45 minutes... what is wrong?
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Dunno what to tell you. It should level out. Hundreds of people say it works for them. It is straight from HTC advice. There is always that slight chance that it didn't do anything for you, or that it may take some time to actually realize the full battery capacity. Like a full discharge and recharge cycle.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Nothing seems to come close for HTC kernels in terms of batt. life to Net's 4.2.1 CFS Agg. What a shame... I was hoping to flash something new today. :(

Fps2d avg. 53@2.89

Linpack avg ... 35.48

Quad avg... 1452

Very nice stock Kern. I'm thinking this entire ota was to unify a kernel and system that will perform equally on all hardware revisions. Without the stupidly rediculous battery drain thing that was going on with the 3.30s and v003 hardware or camera freezes on 004 hardware. Nevertheless it performs very well.
