[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
I've confirmed we are working from the same base as "CM7 kernel", which is the android-msm-2.6.35-froyo-stable branch. we added in our changes and tweaks which have nothing to do with wifi. If your having issues its because of the ROM. Once the real CM7 kernel comes out.... which has extra wimax and probably HDMI, we will completely re-base from that and merge in our modifications.
[EVO 4G Android Development] twiz0r:
Then why don't I have this issue with the stock kernel????????

Swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
you may need to completely WIPE everything do a titanium backup of your data. then reflash the rom you are using then re-flash the kernel.

Do you wipe every time you are upgrading in these GB kernels? if not that might be the issue and the stock kernel settings are conflicting with the new kernel, causing your wifi issues.

my advise is when its not a widespread issue, its usually a botched setup and it might be a !pain! but wiping and starting from scratch with the rom and kernel you want ALWAYS helps. since gingerbread i have had times wipe 3 times personally. but i like to switch around and try everyones.
[EVO 4G Android Development] twiz0r:
When I'm able to dl the new update I will do a full wipe and see what happens

Swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] gregabyte:
Is it generally safe to install a kernel without wiping completely? I always wipe cache and dalvik, but leave the rom and data alone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] twiz0r:
Generally yes. There can be times where there is an issue

Swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
Usually YES. One thing we with Savage changed in this recent release is the updater-script. It deletes the Cache and the boot cache, as well as runs multiple scripts to make sure settings are set correctly in the rom to match the kernel.

MOST Rom's out there have a update-script that just shows progress bar, puts some words on and installs the rom... doesnt clean anything and it gets messy.

its like painting a wall and never removing the old paint, eventually it will look like sh1t because you have 100 coats of paint on the same wall and all the coats are different. some things will mix, some will get corrupt.

If you switch ROM's bar none you should WIPE EVERYTHING as you will 90% not get the full experience of the new rom. With kernels the same thing can happen but not as likely. we mainly added in the cleanup because we had tons of users coming from zendroid because of the boot loops and they were just wiping cache and it really wasn't working well... and they experienced boot loops in our kernel, as soon as we got them good and cleaned up and put the kernel on... NO PROBLEMS...

I'm not saying our kernel is perfect because if it was we'd never put out new releases.... LOL but my personal belief is that we are the best. I used to use SNAP and then stopped after there was no .35 update and there is no public repository of their latest builds... i dont like not sharing.. other than that SNAP is awesome and the team is extreamlly talented and cool. Then the only modified kernel was zen i had FC's and boot loops, he shared his git, but my personal opinion was that it was messy and not tested throughly. Then he disappeared for a while, I switched to MIUI to try it out.... and got recommended bcblend, which worked nice but didnt have everything that i liked in it... so while looking at a new post about SBC once it ported over, i used the CM kernel with SBC and loved it, but missed the tweaks... met a VERY talented dev in that thread and we messaged about creating our own... how hard could it be? well hahaha making a few changes isnt hard... making the right changes to work together without bloating the kernel full of useless crap... HARD.. making a new kernel from scratch... umm hahaha LUIS? HARD!! but its worth it, my phone runs great, has great battery life, and if i want to make a change its not a request... i just do it and re-compile.

Sorry kinda segmented from your question but i think i answered it and a little more haha.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gregabyte:
Thanks for taking the time to explain. I have been lazy when flashing roms I guess - I assumed flashing one sense rom over another was OK, and never had much trouble, but never found any roms I loved until Cm6!

What's the story w/ ADB and USB charging? It worked on CFS Beta2 but not on CFS v1.2 (those are the only 2 I tried). I wiped dalvik/cache w/ ra..

Does ADB work in the newest CFS, won't be near my PC for a while so I can't test it out.

Thanks! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
The stock kernel that came from CM7RC0-1229-b2 is 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod shade@toxygene #1. Stable v1.3.4 BFS or CFS didn't work, it just scans and scans. Doesn't show any networks. I flashed it back to CM7 since wifi works there. I'll post a logcat in a bit when I get to a computer and flash it back to salvage.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Polarisman:
Please be kind enough to explain how to generate a logcat. I tried 1.3.4 bfs and had wifi connect issues as well. Was using the bcblend stock kernel in miui.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Those with wifi issues, have you tried turning off wifi and turning it on again? I did that on my phone with latest CFS build and it works just fine. We are trying to understand what the issue is as we are using the same driver as CM. It is a little harder for me troubleshoot as I can't replicate the issue. I will look at the logcat from provided by one of the users once I get home.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
just downloaded a bunch of updates from HTC, and rebased... going to either get luis to compile and have us test then push out tonight... depends who gets home first.

added the new camera drivers.

I've tried that multiple times and some with the supposed airplane mode fix, still no go. My logcat attached is a few posts up. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
It might be worth doing a full wipe. Usually problems like this will clear up after a full data wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
Yes, I've also done a full wiped and started over and still no go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kaine16:
So using the MIUI 12.26 everytime i go to long press the power button it simply does some type of quick boot, no screen selection with boot, reboot or anything like that.

Has this been solved, thx in advance

also BFS = 0 lag and CFS creates screen tearing and lag

if u guys need logcat or anything leme know

I've heard nothing but good things about your Kernel and switched today. On my last one *zendroid* I ran this setup

Normal

Smartass

Max - 1.19ghz

Min - 128mhz

Screenoff

Conservative

Max - 384mhz

Min - 258Mhz

Would this same setup work well on yours, or do you recommend another screen on profile.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
It hasn't caused any problems with my power menu. Maybe its not the kernel? A

I had no issues with this(running miui) with 1.34 until I flashed the 3way reboot on 12.24. Maybe same for you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Yeah. Quick booting is definitely from the reboot mod. Happened to me and a bunch of other people, too. Bigrushdog was supposed to release a zip to restore it to the old way.

To the OP

Question about your kernel

It seems that in the 1.3.4 release you have implemented some form of ad-blocker, as none of the adds in any apps have shown up since flashing this kernel. That's great, I hate adds, however I believe this is possibly causing unnecessary battery drain. In any app with adds, the add is blanked out with a continuously rotating loading image. Apps with adds also seem to really run down my battery faster than prior to 1.3.4. In spare parts, I have an item named Media that has heavy usage of my network. My wifi also is listed running %100. Is it possible that these apps are continuously trying to load the add, and therefore taxing my wifi all the time?

If you want any logs,screenshots or what have you, just pm. I hope this information helps to make this already outstanding kernel even better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sp0gg:
Flashed CM 6.1.2 and I'm stuck on the white EVO screen. Had to switch over to ZenDroid to get 6.1.2 to boot. Anyone else experiencing this? Worked great on 6.1.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ISSMER:
I have not experienced this unless I forget to wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sp0gg:
I tried reflashing 6.1.2 several times several different ways. Even did a factory reset. Started up immediately when I switched over to ZenDroid. Maybe something else is causing it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spaz mk will:
CM 6.1.2 isn't necessary if you want to run this kernel, unless you have a hardware version 4 EVO. That's the only change in 6.1.2 is hardware 4 support. Just use CM 6.1.1 and this kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sp0gg:
Needed to flash 6.1.2 for another mod or else I would have kept 6.1.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] typeadam:
OK, can someone PLEASE tell me what is wrong w/ the ADB issue I have. So far, I've tired every version of CFS in the OP and only BETA2 had working ADB - but only for 2 days - then it stopped again.

ADB and USB charging work perfectly fine w/ the stock kernel but not w/ these (they don't work w/ ZenDroid either).

My next step is flashing the newest BFS and seeing if that works.

In the meantime, am I missing some step? SetCPU is set to conservative. I make sure to wipe cache AND dalvik/cache.

I'm running CM6.1.1-nightly-203 on my EVO. I'm not sure about the 003, 004 stuff, I don't know how to check that. But if it helps, here's the info from my bootloader screen:

SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.79.0000

MICROP-041f

TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab

RADIO-1.39.00.05.31

Apr 14, 2010, 15:41:34

Basically what happens is I connect the USB into my phone, the USB icon and ADB icon show up and the charging light comes on and Vista makes the USB detected noise. Then, after about 2 seconds, Vista makes the USB disconnected noise (twice), the charging light goes off, and both icons (USB/ADB) disappear. At this point, if I want to charge it using AC, I have to power the phone off, plug it into the wall, and turn it back on. A simple reboot won't work - the phone has to be plugged in while off in order for it to charge - but these steps are only necessary if I connect USB. Otherwise I can plug and unplug the AC whenever I please.

I'm lovin' this kernel's speed and battery life but I really, really need ADB and USB charging.

Please help. In the meantime, I'll try the newest BFS.

PS: I've never had WiFi issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
Hmm, usb seems to work perfectly fine for me? Could it be your rom? Since it is a nightly and not the stable release?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
1.5 Coming tomorrow

1.5 is going to be tested today, then released tomorrow as long as all goes well.

ADB has been working since beta2 Wifi is causing some people issues but due to testing has been linked to alpha rom's.

After 1.5 only bug fixes will be released after verified actual bugs. All development efforts are going into next beast ;-)

[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Go with the stable. The betas are old. The 2.5 doesn't correspond to the stable version numbers. It was from before the kernels went stable.

[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
No clue. Honestly, though, FPS2D is my main benchmark, but I'm not really using the FPS for my comparison. I use the Stdev, and it's always lower after turning setCPU on, and it has never mattered which kernel I'm using.

"CM7 Kernel" & News Update

There is no official CM7 kernel... the "CM7" kernel that is packaged in the stock alpha releases is the same kernel used in CM6. its the cm-kernel Branch android-msm-2.6.35-froyo-stable. Nothing but new drivers for video have changed since gingerbread started being built. I just wanted to clarify that to everyone who keeps quoting the "Cm7 Kernel"

Once CM7 comes out, there may be minor tweaks (not sure yet) more WiMAX things might be added(not sure yet) but the "experience you are getting with the "Cm7" kernel is just the base that we are working off of. Our original builds were based off of the Unified kernel from CM (which zendroid is currently based off of) but there were too many reports of wifi issues so we made the decision to rebase, to ease the transition.

We are currently working on a huge project right now, that i know all of you will love. We've tackled 1 major hurtle just need to tackle one more before we sweeten it up and start a new testing team.
[EVO 4G Android Development] letshaveDEX:
I want to thank the Savage team for all of their hard work. Using this kernel I am getting great battery life on the CM7 beta, as well as crazy fast response time. I will donate soon!

My only complaint is that the Wifi doesn't turn on immediately; I have to go into Airplane mode and turn it off after turning on Wifi. Other than that, flawless.

Thanks again!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
Wifi is partially related to gingerbread alpha... once the kernel gets updates for gingerbread no more issues.

So i have a question about trickle charging. I hope this hasn't been brought up before, i have looked through this thread. I'm assuming trickle charging only works when the phone is on due to this being a kernel, right? So this has no effect if charging while the phone is off. Does the battery charge as fully when fully off even on a different kernel? i mean nothing is using it's power so it should gain charge rapidly and retain, correct? I don't understand how the software (kernel) can change how much power the battery collects and retains :confused:

So was anything replaced with the SBC or will we just not fully charge with this kernel? What was the reason for taking it out? I've been getting amazing battery life on your previous kernels and really think it's b/c of the SBC but I dont know for sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
SBC charges the battery a little bit more, the SBC dev is working hard on v9, but knowing exactly what v7 does... then there are the updates to battery_htc.c from HTC, which seems to be working out better with discharging, making it use the power better.

I know the SBC OP has the new HTC files, and is working on something, but what he does is NOT easy.

So with these changes will battery life be about the same?

I've been using CM for a while now on my EVO and starting with 6.1 wifi has not been resuming after unlock (have to turn wifi on and off to reconnect).

I've been running 1.5 cfs for around 5 hours. Feels snappier than 1.3.4, I'm using my same settings of 245/998 conservative. I also am getting a ridiculously low 32ma draw with the screen off, my prior low was in the 70's. So I think battery life will be even more improved.
