to the op, i saw your post on toast's godm0de kernel thread. i think your op is extremely helpful, but might i offer a couple of suggestions?

- maybe remove the characters in the thread title?

- utilize less bright colors and more letter size typography?

i don't mean to offend you at all, i think it's a fantastic write-up. i just think that, since you want it to be a sticky, make it look a bit more professional and easier to read (color-wise).

i'll personally ask toast to make it a sticky as well. thanks for your contributions! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:

what wouuld be a good Kernel for battery life on a Sense ROM i dont like having to carry my charger around with me every i go
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:
Like I said in the guide bro, its all in what YOUR phone likes. If its rooted, from what I have seen myself and used myself, the AOSP roms are better with battery life. With that being said, Im running CyanogenMOD with Tiamat's kernel. But that is an AOSP kernel.

So regardless on whatever kernel you choose, make sure it is the correct one for sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ric87:
i read the thread learned alot still dont understand alot iam still new to all tihs i dont know how tell the difference between all the different kernel's when iam about to download one i know asop and sense its just cfs,bfs havs,non-havs
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
The developer/maintainer of of the kernel will say what it is.

Also, most times a changelog is provided via link, where it'll tell you if its havs, ect, or it'll be listed in the OP.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ss12108:
I have a question...maybe not the right thread but I am going to try various places lol.

I have been running Gengersense B4 with all the fixes for 2 or 3 weeks now, with no major issues. I had the brightness issue that everyone else had, as well as the lack of 4G, but it wasn't anything major for me.

Today I went flash crazy and updated all of the radios to the newest versions which were released with the OTA update yesterday. The last thing I did was search for the stand-alone kernel that came with the update because I saw my fiance's stock, unrooted Evo now had a slightly newer kernel than I was running.

The good news: the brightness issue found by most users of the rom was fixed!

The bad news: my wifi now just says "error"

Anyone have any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
It is trial an error. What may work for me may be god awful for you. :p

Though what works for me is: CM7 + Tiamat Kernel + Viperboy's scripts. Liquid smooth, never had a problem. Great battery life and performance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
That kernel apparently has been breaking wifi for all rooted users, [so I've read and heard]. I'd advise changing back to a different kernel you know worked for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ss12108:
Yea I'm attempting that now. I believe I had the kernel from the original GB leak installed and everything was working fine. Should have left it alone!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Lawlz I see; it is trial and error though.

Kernel with audio boost?

Hi, I am relatively new to the EVO - am running Deck's Gingerbread 1.0 ROM and Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC kernel. I've noticed that the EVO's audio volume is much lower than most mp3 players, but am not sure whether it is a ROM/kernel issue or a general EVO issue. If it is an EVO issue - is there a ROM/kernel combo that boosts the audio volume significantly?

Any help will be appreciated - thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You can update to the Tiamat 4.0.5 kernel which has more audio tweaks, or use dsp manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterpunn:
Thanks - will try to move to 4.0.5 and update. Has anyone else noticed this problem though? I frequently listen to music when traveling by train/subway and it is almost impossible to hear anything on the earphones.

Setcpu

Not sure if it's been asked, but why the warning to not use Setcpu with a HAVS kernel? I have used Setcpu with great success alongside viperboy's undervolt script, and either SZ or Tiamat HAVS SBC kernels.

Setcpu only controls frequencies, not voltages, so what is the conflict?

I run Evo Deck 1.2 (2.3.4 aosp), Tiamat 3.3.7 (have also used 4.0.5 and SZ 2.2.1), viperboy script running -75mV across all freqs, and Setcpu screen-off profile (128-245mHz, conservative governor). My main setting is 128-729mHz/Conservative.

My battery lasts through 20+hrs of moderate use (screen on ~15% of time), w/o lag or hitches, and w/o an extended battery.

Like I said in the guide bro, the whole best battery life thing really is ALL across the board. What works for me doesnt for you ( may or may not )...

With that being said a CFS and more HAVS kernel will generally provide the best battery life. Now, not all of those perform the same, so keep that in mind too.

Alright, I am posting this here because XDA won't allow me to post it in the Synergy RSL1 Dev forum where it probably belongs. I am using the Synergy RSL1+godmode ROM, and have been weary of trying a new kernel other than the CM7 kernel it comes with. I honestly don't know that much about kernels other than what I have read here, but I was wondering if there is a nice list somewhere about what Kernels are usable with what ROM? I understand how to select a kernel based on the features I want and whether I am running sense, but I am afraid that a new kernel may be incompatible with godmode. Any help would be very appreciated.

So if I have a kernal I can just flash it? I just flash mikroms 2.58 and have used it for a day and was wondering if i could just flash a kernal by itself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wendemixda:
Yes, you can flash a kernel by itself on top of the ROM you already flashed. Just make sure the kernel is compatible with the room, i.e. use a sense kernel for a sense ROM, and also make sure it's a Gingerbread kernel, not a Froyo one. Make sure to wipe cache partition and Dalvik cache in recovery mod before flashing the kernel.

Kernels, scripts, roms, mods, radios

I know that if I am running CM7 Nightly ROM, I can add a custom script. Now, if I see a kernel package from a different ROM, can I also install that? MODS I believe I can, and I'm not sure if I should ever touch the radios/wifi/wimax radio install files.

Currently running --- update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-Supersonic-KANG-signed.zip ---. I also just installed unvisible tweaks, but the files did not pop up in system/etc/init.d so I installed again, but I;m not sure if manually placing the files or folders in there would be the proper step.

This is the 3rd thread about my HD2, I'm sorry about that. I'm wondering if HTC will replace or repair(for money of course) my HD2. I bought it 2nd hand, which was a huge mistake as I've been ripped off. Whatever that doesn't matter anymore, I /tried/ to take it apart today, and I found out that it has been opened before and put like an a** back together. I has duct tape on some wires and it's just a mess. Since I've put it back together the touchscreen works, but the camera, vibrator, volume buttons, LED light and speaker don't work. TBH I prefer a working touchscreen for those things.

So that's basically it, will they even think about taking such thing in, or do I have to find some service to change the LCD, glass and digitizer?

Hi. Does anyone know what the status of clockwork recovery is for our devices???
[A7 General] JeepFreak:
I'm just starting to work on that myself.

Starting with this post from Koush:

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html

Unfortunately, I'm stuck at dumping the stock recovery with no idea how to proceed. It seems that on other devices, one would start by typing

cat /proc/mtd

but unfortunately, that doesn't work on our A7 (or at least not on mine). It returns, "cat: can't open '/proc/mtd': No such file or directory"

So, I guess "dump_image" is another option, but Koush says that it only works on devices running MDT. Anybody know how to tell if the A7 runs MDT? Or what MDT is?

After that, it looks pretty straight forward.

Billy
[A7 General] JeepFreak:
I've run "cat /proc/___" on just about everything else there hoping to find that "mtd" was just renamed on our devices, but no luck.

First your gonna need the droid x bootstrap which you can get from the market to load a rom. Are you rooted? As for a rom I've been running gummyjar and I am very happy.
[Droid X General] gkallivrousis:
Yes i am rooted and what does gummyjar offer differently because i actually like the stock but i do get addicted to change
[Droid X General] gmenfan83:
apex 1.3.1 offers the best of both worlds ,,,it has just enough of the blur components while taking out the useless stuff...its fast and very stable and i highly reccomend it:D
[Droid X General] rossiscatch:
I like gummyjar right now too, but if you like stock, load up apex. I was using apex before and it is very good.

I like the aosp feel of gummyjar better personally because I used to use a nexus one with cm. Anyway, I don't think you can go wrong with apex or gummyjar.

+1 for apex if you want a highly stable and easy install. I just switched from the stock rom to apex and could not be happier. Talk about fast!

do either of these build maintain the voice control that is stock in the droid x? I recently switched to the droid x from the droid and one of the things I most love is the voice control over bluetooth works and is very good. This is the one feature I'm most not wanting to loose.

Also I'm having a bit of a problem. I rooted my phone. I installed rommanager and loaded clockwork. Then I tried to backup my rom but the phone just reboots. I went into rommanager and tried to reboot into recovery and again it just reboots.

Is this a known issue? I have not dug around too much on it. How do you reboot manually into recovery on the droid x.

thanks
[Droid X General] crobs808:
I am a long time phone flasher, and the ROM that I have had on each phone in the past has just been flatout horrible. So in anticipation for receiving my new DroidX phone in the mail, I started amassing tools and rom file downloads, and bookmarking how-to pages (since every phone flash process is different)...then I got the actual phone I realized that the stock ROM is amazing. Of course, I am coming from a VX6900 that ran Donut via NAND, but I still do not see how the stock ROM could be any faster.

I use Advanced Task Killer, that automatically kills apps when the screen backlight goes out and at any given time when I turn on the phone, I always have 200MB or higher in free memory. I guess I need to know if anyone else has run the stock ROM with Advanced Task Killer, and would still describe it as "slow". I would not describe this as slow...I am literally never waiting on the phone to do something, it keeps up with everything I do, and I have installed about 30 apps/games, I swipe back and forth between apps a lot and use the back/home button quite a bit without closing things. So while I REALLY want to flash, I cannot find a good reason to do it (which is actually a first for me since owning a flash-able phone).

If anyone can weigh in I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
[Droid X General] mattmartin77:
fission or gummyjar. period.
[Droid X General] pCarson92:
If you think it seems fast now, wait till you flash a custom ROM... and also, all task killer apps do is slow your phone down.

[Droid X General] crobs808:
What a terrible article. No empirical evidence at all...just opinion and conjecture based on....what? Nothing. The user's conclusion is to reboot your phone multiple times a day or just uninstall any apps that do not come with the phone. Is he serious? Since I installed this specific task killer app (yes I tried a lot of them) I only have to reboot my phone about once a week. What a poorly written article. No research at all.

I will definitely try the custom rom route. I can always go back to stock I guess.
