[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
agreed.

the lowest i can go with#17 is 691 before it starts to lag, its a great kernel by htc. a winner in my book.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aburgthing:
I was a skeptic to the whole idea of "letting a kernel settle in". It just didn't seem to make sense. Being an advanced Windows user, the notion just went against the grain of conventional thinking. Now I grudgingly have to say, there is some validity to that process. I don't know why and would love to get the specifics on how and why this happens. My example, I was quite displeased with the performance of the HTC #17 kernel coming from #10. I was getting excellent battery life with #10 streaming music, moderate use e.g. 50 or so texts, 1/2 hr. or so of gaming, 1 hr. or so give or take of Slingbox streaming and avg. 45 mins. to an hour of phone use during a 12 hr. work shift and coming home with 60% battery. Now that's performance! Not so good with RL4 and #17 initially. So I thought, I'll give this "let the kernel settle in" thing a try. Well now I'm a believer. Same apps, same use but new RL4 ROM and #17, no battery tweaks, no setcpu, just stock using Launcher Pro and...currently up 12h 35m since unplugged at 65%. Just an observation and affirmation that there is some "it just happens this way" reasoning for kernel settling in. Weird. Would love to see the technical explanation and real science for this phenomenon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nohbdyshero:
i haven't changed anything with the stock setup, except to add my apps back on and I have had my phone off the charger for 12h and I am at 67%. Granted not a ton of use today but still remarkable.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
The stock kernel Isles nice and isnt oced so you will get decent battery life. It trips up sometimes and only has two points multi touch

minor issues w/RLS4

.. is it just me?!! i'm on the new rls4, and loving it.. but sine i installed it i noticed i'm no longer able to dwnld .apk file from 4shared website.. also in my facebook i'm unable to refresh notifications.. anyone experiencing the same or at least has any fixes..

many thnx to MYN & to all:)

jaypro..
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
i agreed.

i was in the same boat as everyone else getting horrible battery life no mattter what kernel/rom combo i used..

it was just letting it alone for a few days and thats when i seen that #17 kernel shine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
i think you're talking about the pulldown power controls.

they are toggles.

the notification bar itself shows you what radios are on.

the toggles don't necessarily sync to the on/off status you find

in the notification bar, unless you turn them on from the toggles -

as compared to using the radio widgets themselves.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
As much as I love the Sprint Voicemail app, I hate that transcription crap they put in, plus I wanted to give my Google Voice account a use. So I deleted the Voicemail app with Titanium backup and set up Google Voice for my Voicemail. Works great with the Voice app! Plus, free transcription, and you can manage your voicemail from your browser (download, archive, etc).
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
if you are on your pc or mac, exit this thread.

I'm gonna have to look at their phones again, next time I see them. Thanks for the heads up!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewmccraw:
Wow, where to start. Lets see.

I'm using Widget Locker for my lock screen. Launcher Pro for the launch bar. The icon is part of an icon set a member here made, the other ones are called "steel on glass". If you search, I'm sure you could find it without much trouble. Launcher Pro lets you change the launcher icons for the shortcuts.

The clock is gTab Simiclock.

Battstatt widget on the bottom of the screen.

The temperature widget is the "Weatherbug Elite (small) option, simple and to the point. I really like it. Updates pretty reliably to.

At the top of the screen, that is the "Extended Controls" widget.

I pretty much scrounge all the threads for test based icons.

I don't really prefer the cartoony(?) look all the colored icons give me. I'm a bit of a minimalist.

Well, I think that pretty much covers it. Thanks for the interest. Good luck with yours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Agreed. I've been using Google Voice for a while now. It is indeed an invaluable tool.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
like me, i went back to RLS 3 browser for the auto text reflow after pinch-zoom.

the RLS 4 browser removed that feature (see post #1 OP)

and if you pinch-zoom you have to tap-tap to have it reflow the text.

ps - SI.com Randy Shannon produced a 7 win team with a 11 win roster.

well put.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewmccraw:
Lets see, from top to bottom....

"Extended Controls"

"gTab SiMiclock"

"Weatherbug Small"

"Battstats"

Oh yeah, the calendar is the Jorte calendar from the market.

I have the "Steel on Glass" icons that another member here created. I think a board search should find the thread easy enough.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bkhova211:
hey does anyone have like a list of known apps that keep your phone up?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nohbdyshero:
+1 as I have been using Google voice for months now....since I had my blackberry. Their transcription is almost useless b/c I am in the wireless industry and about 80% of my messages are from someone with a asian or indian accent which makes it difficult. But the widget and app are great anyway. Plus customer greetings for co-workers/customers, 1 for the wife, and for family is awsome!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nohbdyshero:
I have never used multi-touch except for pinch zoom so I don't what all the hoopla about it is or what it would be for
[EVO 4G Android Development] FoeKilla:
That blur it's there while the image in all it's glory is being accessed. It requires no interaction to come into focus. Stock phones do it too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
hey fred.

while i was at it, i should have included the #2 & #3 thread toppers (since the early days here):

i flashed the themed LP and it doesn't show up and the keyboard i flashed doesn't show up.

of course, we all know the winner: "what's the best kernel to use?"

i figure take the number of total posts / 6.75 will give you that result !
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
I think 4shared did it on their end. All you have to do is rename the ".bin" file to whatever you want ".apk". they still work. You can do it with Astro.

[EVO 4G Android Development] TorxT3D:
does anyone have any benchmarks results with the latest ziggy?

any problems?
[EVO 4G Android Development] neutron187:
Assuming you have LauncherPro installed:

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > HTC Sense > Clear Defualts

Next time you hit home button should ask if you want to use LauncherPro or HTC Sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
No point looking for it again lol. I'll repost. Basically, most custom kernels (non-HTC kernels) give you more than 2-point multitouch. By 2-point, I mean the screen will recognize up to 2 fingers. Now, certain Evos are capable of 3-point multitouch, certain are capable of 5. Mine does 5. I'm on Netarchy-Toastmod 4.2.1 and I tested it out with "Dotty" and "Multitouch Tester":

The only thing I can think of this being useful for is gaming, more specifically multiplayer games that require you to share the screen.

Understood and in ref to Randy Shannon, I cannot lay the fault solely at his feet. Jacory Harris, in my opinion, is the reason for their collapse.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today was the day that I installed Myn's rom into my wife's Evo.

Here's the quick and easy way as she was using the latest version of Damage Control, and believe me - she loved that rom and had no problems with it ever. After explaining how much better Myn's rom is (I was a Damage Control user too, months ago) and that she would enjoy all the benefits from switching over - I had her sold.

Here are the steps that I performed

BU of all SMS and MMS with SMS Backup and Restore (Market)

Sync of everything (Google contacts, calendar, etc...)

Screen Shots with ShootMe (Market)

I did all the above just in case I needed to put everything back to the way it was before I messed with her phone

Booted into recovery (Clockwork Mod - the Recovery of my Choice ALWAYS!)

Nandroid BU

Clear Dalvik 3 - 4 times

Clear Battery 3 - 4 times

Clear Cashe Partition 1 time

Factory Data/Full wipe

Installed Myn's RSL 1 -Reboot

After the phone fully started, tested working great, etc., reboot into recovery

Nandroid BU - picked the last BU that I just performed - the next window gave me an option to do DATA only BU

Applied that Data BU only - Reboot

Tested, everything working as it should... Reboot into recovery

Clear Dalvick and Batt stats only 2 - 3 times

Install of Myn's RSL2 - Reboot

Test (scroll, widgets, app drawer, etc...) Reboot into recovery

Clear Dalvick and Batt stats only 2 - 3 times

Install of Myn's RSL3 - Reboot

Test (scroll, widgets, app drawer, an app or two, etc...) Reboot into recovery

Clear Dalvick and Batt stats only 2 - 3 times

Install of Myn's RSL4 - Reboot

Test (scroll, widgets, app drawer, new market, new pull-down, etc...) and her phone, market, SMS, 4G, etc., all tested and working perfectly! The phone is a huge hit with her.

As stated in my earlier post, this works for me - I hope it works for everyone who try's the new Myn RSL4 - Good Luck!

Thanks to all for your input and ideas on different ways to approach a recovery - And Thank You Myn for a great rom!

Hey P F(RED)

There's a method to my madness!

LOL! I know what you're saying - but after reading a lot of these posts with people having problems, and just coming over to RSL4 - better to be safe than sorry. I've tested a lot of roms on XDA and SDX and sometimes files or something gets written over and you got a glitch that you didn't have before.

Maybe it's superstition..? I was there from the beginning so I installed all the roms over-top of each other so she would have the same as me...? :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
There's no point since you have to wipe everything when going from release to release lol. You should've just flashed RLS4 straight up.

Having terrible battery issues with RLS4 and the htc kernel from op. Willing to give it time to "set in"but I've noticed that 'kernel' and 'radio subsystem' have been downloading on 3g for the past 30 minutes, monitoring with power tutor. any reason this should be happening?

You really shouldn't do that. At the very least use Titanium Backup to back up all your apps and their data and then wipe everything. I guarantee something will go wrong if you didn't wipe going from 3 to 4.

I really like the font but is there anyway to compress the font in the browser to fit to screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Ziggy's kernel is pretty bad on RLS4. Worked great during RLS4 beta, but in the final it was really bad. Plus, you should wipe everything. Get Titanium Backup and backup all your apps and data, then wipe everything and reflash the ROM. I'm using Netarchy-Toastmod 4.2.1 BFS-Aggressive and it's the best I've used with this ROM. When you wanna restore all your stuff from Titanium Backup, just reinstall it and then click Menu -> Batch -> Restore all applications + data. It'll restore most stuff like Wifi accesspoints and stuff, but you still need to change some settings here and there.

You have to double-tap after you zoom in/out. If you want the original browser, there's a zip file a few pages back with the browser from RLS3 that doesn't require this.

Good bye Damage Control and Fresh!!!!

Okay, I must admit I have been a hardcore fan of Fresh and Damage Control Roms since the beginning. I have flashed literally every Rom on dozens of phones. I doubted this "TwoPointTwo" deal was anything special...

I was wrong. This is by far one of the best Roms for the EVO in my opinion.

My two suggestions are as follows:

1. Create a "config app" like "dc config" on Damage Control. That one feature kept me coming back to DC over and over again. (so glad to see you have an updater app). I root and customize phones for a living so having that updater saves me TONS of time with customers).

2. Okay I lied, I don't have another suggestion.

KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK MYN! I've donated so many times to developers who stop developing after the donations come in (cough..DC) and so I don't keep donating. Keep it up and I will make this the ROM I put on all my customers phones and will donate a portions of my proceeds to you.

thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SgtSpike:
I think it has to do with the way that the charging circuit is monitored by the kernel drivers (or fimware?). The raw values being read have to be calibrated to account for inherent differences from phone to phone. It needs a few charge/discharge cycles to see the full range of raw values.

Battery Life...thanks Myn

After letting Myn's settle with the stock kernel, I am getting incredible battery life. I have absolutely used and abused my phone today, flashing this, loading that. I killed my battery by 10% at one point because it got stuck in a reboot, but I was finally able to fix that. I'm still at 40% at the 12 hour mark.

All I am using is stock Myn's. I used Kings #11 for most of my time with RLS 3 and thought it was pretty good until now. The first couple of days weren't that great, so I suppose the settling in theory has some validity. I'm not using any type of set CPU or battery savers. I tried Juice Defender, but it kept killing my Slacker feed. I still like the plotter from that program, as you can see in the screenshot.

I literally could barely get 8 hours out of my stock Evo with little use and thought I would just have to live with it. Thanks to XDA and this thread especially, I'm fairly tech savy and my battery life is great.

Anyway, thanks for all of your work Myn. Take a breather because this is a great update and keep up the good work. I came in at RLS 2 and couldn't be happier.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toneedo:
seriously?
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
I see yo have flashed a different kernel and it is still doing that. Just for grins, have you tried to kill it? Kill it, power off, pull battery, wait, battery in, power on, let the system boot completely on, then go back in and see if it has started up again.

I know this doesn't solve why or what it is, but it *might* fix the problem.
