Exactly what I say! My experience with the stock kernel is terrible! It runs like a damn sense rom

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.

CM6.1 nightlies with zendroid CFS kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
i went to myn for awhile... but i just miss the aosp styles too much... so i figured i would try nightly 187 and the zendroid .9 BFS.

i did a complete wipe (cache, data, dalvik). i only installed nightly 187 and the zip for this kernel.

stuck at white screen. (always had this problem with zendroid)

am i missing something? do i need to flash to stock and then back to CM? for some reason i think i read somewhere that having snap at some point might have screwed it up. is that true?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Try flashing 187, booting fully, setting up the phone, reboot to recovery, flash the kernel, wipe dalvik, boot. See if that works rather than installing at the same time.

Ride that evo train
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
nope... no go... even switched to amon-RA recovery.

i must not be lucky enough to use it... the evo gods must not favor me...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
I flashed 187, zendroid, wipe cache nd dalvik and reboot. It might bootloop a cup times. Also, i wipe dalvik twice

[EVO 4G Android Development] Kraenesk:
Im still on myn's. Though using launcher pro and used calkulins sense remove script. Without kernels to flash all the time cyanogen loses some of it's fun. I'm sure I'll play with it again some when new kernels come out. Unless of course gingerbread drops...
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
did that. i would understand boot loops, but its just white screen. i waited like 15 minutes and it never left the white screen. bout to give up hope!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jusion:
I have the same problem, and I've tried ZenDroid with several different ROMs and in different install / wipe orders. I guess it just doesn't play nice with some hardware versions of the EVO or something..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
Try cfs. And you wipe everything twice?

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
have done both of those... i'm going to try one last thing.

going to wipe and unroot. reroot. take everything off my sd card. (except for nightly 187, zendroid, and gapps.) wipe multiple times. if that doesnt work we can confirm that some hardware is just not working properly with zendroid
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
Noooo. That's way too much bro. What hardware are you?

Also when you do the SD card thing, format the SD card

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
i've always had a sneaky suspicion that i rooted wrong... i used a different method then how i rooted my wifes phone. i rooted mine when unrevoked just came out.

yes i will format the card.

that being said, what is the newest and most up-to-date way to root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
I always used the 123 root method. I don't think you have s off. And also, flash RA recovery

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
Hold on, I'm going to look around. Give me your hardware rev

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
Okkayy. Run the 1.47 ruu, root using 3 step root and i think you might have to do toasts part two. This is all i know

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
hardware rev-0003
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
Did it work?

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
nope... although i never did unroot and reroot. my bootloader says s-off

i put only cm 187, zendroid, and google apps on my 4g sd card (my main is 16g)

no luck at all. same exact thing always.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fast2049:
Yes I have rooted many phones and flashed probably over 200+ times. For some reason I always get boot loop or screen lock when I use this. 0003 hardware version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
I have an early 003 phone. I can flash fin, and then about 10 mins of bootloops and then it boots up

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackroseMD1:
Mine boots up fine, however, it randomly reboots and sticks at the splash screen requiring a battery pull.

Swyped from my Cyanogen HaxTC Supersonic 4G

[EVO 4G Android Development] rain91:
Can't wait to see the 1.0!
[EVO 4G Android Development] INebilim:
There have been many reports that it boot sticks and no update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dozenboy0012:
....those updates came to an abrupt halt hope development continues....
[EVO 4G Android Development] larry54321:
Im using cfs and no problems with evervolv rom no boot problems. When using bfs bootloops the evo. I have 003 hardware.Oh yea the evervolv rom is bad ass.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
This is weird.. I loaded the gingerbread theme 192 cm with zen bfd and no bootloops whatsoever.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kraenesk:
So who is leading the dev search party.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
crossrocker... why must you torture me... :D

if i go to bed tonight crying, it will be because of you and the failed installation of zen...

that being said, i must be crazy or a fool to think it will work, but i havent given up all hope yet. wish dev would come back...

Update: what i did. backup. boot in and uninstalled setcpu. rebooted. powered off. booted to recovery (amon_ra. 1.8). wiped everything twice. installed cm192 & gapps. booted. powered off. booted to recovery. installed bfs zen. stuck at white screen. powered off. booted recovery. wiped everything. installed cfs zen. boot loops

bootloops is further than i've gone before with zen/CM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
He's around ... he posted yesterday. I guess he just decided to abandon us. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
yea i saw that too, he also ignored a PM. no worries. This one hit wonder will be dead as soon as Snap v9 comes out... its a pitty, it had potential.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rem3Dy:
No need to be a tool and act like a little kid. Why don't you develop a kernel. Oh thats right you are just some xda troll that pisses off good devs like cyanogen by making stupid comments like this. Grow up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
Omgggg wtf?? Its spose to work!! Its unfixable

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
Umm watch your mouth little man... Sounds like your the immature one.. And btw I have my own since I'm still waiting on snap. Cyanogen and I are cool, so why dont you keep, your mouth shut if you don't know the facts
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
Fyi r3m3dy. You should watch your mouth. Looking at your posts you just try and start trouble... Which gets people banded from the forum
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dozenboy0012:
calling someone a kid thats one of the most childes posts I ever seen
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
That's true but kinda douchey. If kernel developing had continued; this could be a real competitor to snap.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xNotta:
My headset volume is incredibly loud with this kernel.

I have to turn the volume down so it doesn't start clipping what the other person is saying.

The stock CM kernel and Snap 7.6 doesn't have this problem.

Can I modify the volume for this kernel?

And is there an ETA on the next update?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
Wow guys :\ If anybody has been following my git tree they would see that updates are still being made. I just havent made a new build (i have made a couple, but when I tested they seem a bit buggy so I need to figure it out) - I'm running one now that seems pretty solid tho

I have final exams this week, so my schedule is busy - need to prioritize :\

I'll get a new build soon , probably tuesday or wednesday - havs and non-havs version - I need to play with the voltage values some more though I think mine may be causing instability, at least on the HAVS build.

ANYWAY,

I do this in my spare time and for fun - I've been doing kernels for years this way and releasing them to the public for their convenience. This is my first kernel for the phone, rather than the typical kernels which I do for desktops (and are pretty popular by the way :P - in a few distributions and what not). I don't get paid, I'm not competing with anybody (because I don't get paid). I don't care if you prefer to use a different kernel - use whatever works. In the years I've worked on distributions, scripts, kernels, etc. - my total donations received are less than $50, my best donation has been web hosting :P - I don't expect donations nor do I ask for them - sure I'm poor, but if I didn't get donations I'd do all of this anyway. Although I never say no to money lol

However, this isn't by job and don't make posts like you think it is - because really, I don't care. The phone audience is quite different from the desktop one because most people don't have any knowledge of the kernel or linux at all (not that it's necessary - but people with no knowledge on what anything in the kernel is try to criticize me, and it's really annoying)

I haven't gone away, just busy - when i get time I'll push a few new builds this week - I don't owe it to anyone, I just enjoy doing it.

if you have problems, suggestions, questions - I'm all ears and I'll try to resolve whatever it is - just don't be a d*** about it (i ignored PMs because i didnt even realize i had them, notification icon is tiny at the top :P - i responded to a couple today)

If you have a problem with anything I stated above ^^^, don't tell me because I really don't give a f*** :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I am not a person that has criticized you at all, but here is the thing. You posted your kernel for public consumption. Like a celebrity that complains about the paparazzi, you really have to accept the fact that some *****ing from "fans" if you don't continue to deliver just goes with the territory.

You are sick of the complaining and I am sick of developers saying we cannot criticize them because "they don't get paid". You post here KNOWING you won't get compensated financially, yet you accept everyone's adoration and praise for a job well done. Do you also post on here saying, "Please don't say nice things about me or my work because you didn't pay me"?

Like it or not, when you post a popular rom or kernel on here you become something of a celebrity. People evangelize for you and tell others how great your kernel is. Then when you abandon them, you make them look bad to their friends - you embarrass them. You put out a successful beta then disappeared. People are pissed. This is on you.

** If you are going to be in the spotlight here, keep users up to speed. If you are too busy to work on the project or have been encountering problems, say so. Let us know what is going on. When you create a kernel then just "appear" to have walked away, people that have become invested in your kernel feel like they have been stood up and nobody likes that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
"if you have problems, suggestions, questions - I'm all ears and I'll try to resolve whatever it is"

Of course i take criticisms, people think that it's my (or others i guess) obligation to provide - that's the problem. Complain all you want about the kernel - submit bugs, say it sucks, ask questions - just elaborate (i welcome criticisms)

This isn't 7th grade :P

I've already told users i'm busy :P

anyway, back to business :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] AvatarOfFrost:
Looking forward to your next build, bro. Just ignore all the e-*****ing and whining.:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmylanman:
Which distros do you work on / prefer? I am starting to get into compiling my own kernels for Ubuntu on my laptop and my desktop (two different goals, but ultimately to learn more about Linux). I use Linux at home and at work now and rarely use Windows at all, just looking for your input.

Whenever I try to change too much I start getting errors at compile time so I still have a lot of learning to do, but I was wondering if you had a few general tips and such :-P

Thanks again I'm still rockin' 0.90 and it's working great on CM6.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
Very nice, level headed response, bbedward. You don't owe us anything. Don't listen to that other guy. I appreciate your work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
I've used most of the main ones, starting with redhat 7 through mandrake, debian, ubuntu, fedora, slackware, suse, arch, gentoo, exherbo, blah.

I did work on gentoo for years before I got sick of it and the developers :P . I was a user rep at one time, never a developer though because I didn't care to. I wrote some install scripts (which are lost unfortunately ;-(, they were pretty good), install method, ebuilds, etc.

I havent used them all extensively, but I really dislike ubuntu - I pretty much stick with arch and debian nowadays, arch lets you do a lot more but it's a bit more involved, I just run debian squeeze/testing on my laptop and desktop because everything works out of the box and it's pretty good (Not a big fan of the kernel building methods on any of these distributions tho, I prefer the normal way since it's the easiest.

It depends on what you're changing - it gets pretty involved. Mashing a bunch of things together usually requires a little work to get them to all play nicely together (especially when you get into backporting/forward porting). Make sure you fix conflicts/rejects correctly too - some compile errors just need to be fixed depending on the application (most likely if it's for a different kernel version)

^^ Check out zen-stable.git ;) , it has anything and probably more than you could ever want, but if anything's missing that you want I could consider it and add it :P , it's a pretty good alternative in my opinion (pretty nice for desktop/laptop applications, not really geared towards server applications although you could compile it as such)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmylanman:
I have been using Ubuntu extensively because as an end user it is pretty easy. I might try out Debian as well when I get some free time as the documentation seems much better for it.

Also when coming from Ubuntu a switch to Debian isn't too big.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I personally have been a Kubuntu user for some time ... I never really liked the GNOME desktop on Ubuntu (although I read the next release will be Unity), but it took me all of 10 minutes to fall in love with KDE. Since 4.4 its gotten REALLY smooth, fast, customizable ... even if you dislike Ubuntu, you may want to give Kubuntu a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
understandable that you've been busy. great to hear that. me finishing up my last couple semesters of school i know all too well that it comes as the main focus. thanks for the developing you do. i've yet to try the fruitfullness that is zen, but hopefully the future builds are a little more friendly with my phone. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmylanman:
Not to threadjack, but if you're interested in Unity, you can try it now, it's in the repository for 10.10. I'm using it now it's kinda neat, but obviously OS X-inspired.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Appreciate the heads up, but I have a feeling I would not dig it. I've seen pics and my buddy has used it, and he describes it as "a pathetic attempt to make OS X more tablet-friendly". Since I loathe Mac even more than Windows, I imagine it would not turn out well haha.
[EVO 4G Android Development] werwerid:
it sucks

Don't even try with Hardware version 0004... the screen looks like it loosing pixels. Looks like comcast TV when there is not enough signal. Never seen it before!!!

Wiped everything before flashing with it
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
CM is like that in general ... its not the kernel :)

Edit: By that I meant CM has not incorporated the 004 drivers. Several other people have complained about the screen tearing, but CM doesn't have 004 hardware so he can't code it in (needs someone else that does have the hardware to do it).
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
0.91 non-havs bfs is up ;)

It should tide people over until the rest of them are built and uploaded.

So far, it seems like the snappiest build yet, havent used it long enough to comment on battery life. Doesn't seem like a quadrant killer but still a solid 1700-1800 consistently, even at little or no overclock and smartass.

it should be more stable than the havs builds, if you've had problems with the kernel in the past give the one without havs a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Back and better than ever! Thank you boss, downloading now. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] DraginMagik:
thanks for the updated kernel. your work is appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Hey boss, awesome job this kernel ... just ran a few quadrants at full overclock and got 1783, 1816, and 1898. I'll test the battery and report back.

Just a heads up, though: I am encountering the same difficulty I was on .90, in that my phone does not recognize when I am plugged in to my computer by USB (it simply recognizes it as charging), preventing me from accessing my SD card. Its not a huge deal, I just boot into recovery and do USB toggle, but I figured I would mention it.

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rain91:
On .91 bfs, it takes a long press to get the screen back on. Setcpu @ 245/998 smartass.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
I've seen that happen on every kernel that has the smartass governor. Switch to interactive and should fix it for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I use the smartass governor, no long-press needed. I have noticed that if you don't create a screen off setting, this occurs because without it, the governor automatically sets the screen off setting to the lowest setting, which on this kernel is 128. The phone has difficulty waking up from such a low setting, so by creating a screen off setting of 245 smartass in SetCPU, problem is solved. Also, this is why interactive switch "works", because it doesn't have the auto-screen off setting smartass does. But using a screen off with smartass consumes less battery, and is a bit more responsive IMO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
.91b doesnt work on latest MIUI, it runs a CM kernel, so dont know whats up with that. Anyone have suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Can you be a bit more descriptive than "doesn't work"? Something involving what happens when you try to boot? What you wiped after flashing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
get bootloops (sorry)

i was thinking maybe if OP incorporates the koush anykernel updater in his kernels, then there shouldnt be any compatibility problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
I use koush's anykernel ;) (and MIUI too)

The bootloops could be something funny with setcpu options - it has happened to others. if it's enabled maybe try disabling it to set on boot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crazyloof:
Waiting anxiously for the HAVS version download link :( any news on it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wmdunn:
Great work, as always. Any chance you could build the CFS version with Smart Ass governor as "default", for us who wish to avoid SetCPU? Thanks ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
I tried that, it barley boots before it loops. Anything else :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
I tried that many times on different kernels with the smartass governor and it happens to me intermittently so I just gave up on smartass. Maybe my evo doesn't want to be one
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Haha not every evo wants to be a smartass. As long as its not a dumbass, you're okay. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] crazyloof:
Will the HAVS version be up by the end of the night or no? If not I suppose ill just use the no HAVS but I really wanted to wait for the HAVS. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
Havs version has issues on my phone that I'm trying to iron out before I release it, although it may just be my phone :-(
[EVO 4G Android Development] crazyloof:
What type of issues? Really looking forward to it :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
I had to wipe data to get the kernel working. It still randomly reboots. Please release the hvas cfs version asap. My phone hates bfs
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
ZOMGGGG. I tried using the default kernel and battery life is so terrible. I didn't know a new kernel came out!!!!! Zomg zomg here I come super speed no lag whole multitasking with awesome battery life. I LOVE YOU. Bye flashing now

[EVO 4G Android Development] fast2049:
Will this boot now with hardware version 003 evos?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
Yes only 004 evos will have issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LearnIIBurn:
I was under the impression that setting any SetCPU profiles while using smartass was ineffective. Doesn't smartass handle all this on its own?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattykinsx:
Sits on the 4g screen doing nothing, left it like that and it was still stuck on it 15 minutes later.

Much like .90, useless to me.

I have the 003 hardware.
[EVO 4G Android Development] juancaperez2000:
no problems here running CM6.1.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
4g screen?

I assume you're using a sense rom then, which this kernel is not made for. (aosp only)
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
false... he means the white screen that says HTC EVO 4g

same with me on both accounts. 003 HW and neither .90 or .91 worked. will try with CM6.1.1 and post results, although i highly doubt it will work. tempted to try it on my wifes evo 003 HW also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
would it matter what HBOOT you use?

No go on my evo. still sticks at white screen. doesnt even bootloop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pardonmyownage:
worked on the first go on my wifes 003 HW. not sure if this is due to the difference in how i rooted the phones, or just the phones themselves. both have s off.

any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
H-boot is unrelated. If you can flash other kernels with success something is fishy.

I would more likely blame it on the recovery for not formatting the cache or dalvik correctly - but if both phones have the same recovery that's unlikely. - Maybe if you're coming from some other kernel, definitely snapturbo would not work - I'm not exactly sure though :\ I don't understand how there could be a difference in the phones that make it not work :(
