I have used savaged-zen since it was in beta, and every iteration since then.... but recently, problems with my wifi signal got me to try out the new GodMode kernel from Toastcfh, and discover this kernel to have a more stable and overall better performing wifi signal.

Today I tried SZ 2.1 and I have to say that it's the SNAPPIEST kernel I've ever flashed to my phone, but the "wifi stability" is not up to par with that of GodMode

Would you guys mind releasing a version with the wifi drivers toastcfh used?, or maybe a version without undervolted wifi drivers?

Thank you for the time and work you guys put into this kernel
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
If your having problems... try a different gov / a higher minimum frequency. if your undervolting with one of vipers and getting problems... try less of an undervolt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhaui:
I just flashed the 2.1 bfs version via kernel manager and my sd card got completely erased.. Is this the kernel or kernel manager?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
I download that kernel from the SZ mirror site and my SD card was unaffected.
[EVO 4G Android Development] M4ver1ck:
it might have just gotten unmounted. I was having that issue with bfs, switch to cfs and you won't have that problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtruty:
This was running nicely for me yesterday, but when I took my phone off the charger after charging all night, it was at 34%. The charging light was still lit. When I reset the phone without unplugging, it actually started charging.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ChickenArise:
I still occasionally get 100% system with CM 7.0.2.1 while plugged into the charger (AC or USB). It doesn't happen every time, and unplugging and plugging back in seems to fix it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
I had a similar issue, but simply rebooting fixed it.

I have spoken.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhaui:
Yea, that is exactly what it was. On bfs did you notice that WiFi and WiMAX just get an error when you try to use them? I couldn't start either of them. Switched back to cfs for now...
[EVO 4G Android Development] crstfr:
my phone only works with cfs....i tried bfs once, and it was so laggy and buggy`..wild.`
[EVO 4G Android Development] ChickenArise:
It hasn't cleared for me with a reboot, but it's a pretty minor glitch since all it takes is a few seconds to re-plug the charger, and it doesn't happen often. I can't even reproduce it reliably (although I haven't really tried much).
[EVO 4G Android Development] zuzonline:
This fixed my ext3 issues, I upgraded from 1.1.0 so far everything looks good, i got 1-2MBps increase on my 4G speeds as I thought I would (I didnt base it on anything besides hoping that there were updated drivers). Whether they are newer drivers or not, my 4G data speeds really increased!

Thanks for all your work!

Im going to use this build until I know that the ext3 fix is implemented on a release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rsatmans:
2.1 working better than ever. Running C7 with SZ governor with 245 min and 998 max and -75 undervolt. No lag, no screen lock issues, fast... Thank you so much
[EVO 4G Android Development] ReubenRene:
Is the new test build CFS or BFS?
[EVO 4G Android Development] algirnavi451:
The test build is the same as the builds on site. therefore its not really a test build anymore :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
typically he links to test builds that are CFS, as they are most compatible
[EVO 4G Android Development] NiMiNuM:
this is the best AOSP kernel yet!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ReubenRene:
Thank you for the quick responses friends and the info I appreciate it ;-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] spaz mk will:
Definitely support only using a 245 min cpu freq. There is no reason to use 128 since both frequencies use the same voltage levels.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
The test build is the same or older than the ones on the mirrors.

I put something along the lines of ext3 fixed in the changelog
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
i really hate to say it, i really do, but 2.1 cfs is terrible for me. crappily slow, laggy, jumpy, sleeplock, etc. i don't know what could have happened from 2.02 to 2.1. i'll clear caches and flash again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
It's working great on salvage mod 1.2.1

sent from my EVO at the edge of hell
[EVO 4G Android Development] J4mm1nJ03:
I was having the same problem today, and it was really frustrating. I wiped cache and dalvik and then flashed it again and it seems to be much better now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flooberz:
quick question:

I'm running CM7, and don't want SBC.. so i've flashed the nosbc zip.

i dont have to reflash that zip everytime i reboot the phone do i?

It should stay on nosbc even if i just reboot the phone correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
in theory yes. init.d scripts are run every time you boot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] J4mm1nJ03:
Is anyone else having issues with establishing a USB connection? Whenever I connect my phone to a computer all it does is charge, I'm not getting any notification regarding mounting or debugging, and I can't select USB tethering.

I noticed this recently while on 2.02 but I'm still having issues on 2.1. I've tried 3 different cords on 2 computers and my PS3 and haven't had any results.

Sent from my HTC Evo running CM7 with SZ.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iahk:
No issues on my side.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bkrodgers:
So like others, using 2.1.0 CFS (as well as all prior versions I've tried), I have the issues with the phone not waking up with a simple button press when using the SavagedZen governor. It also goes away if I bump the min CPU frequency to 384 and stay on SZ governor.

My question is which is likely to be a better choice?

- Smartass governor, min CPU at 245

- SZ governor, min CPU at 384

In other words, is it more important to have the SZ governor's benefits but a higher min CPU freq, vs having the smartass governor at a lower min CPU freq? I'm thinking mostly in terms of battery life.

I'm not trying to complain about the problem, just trying to see which compromise is a better choice.

-Brian
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
I don't have any issues with this kernel. 2.10 CFS/BFS has been absolutely flawless for me. I run conservative 1075 max 245 min and I get great battery/performance with no screen wake issues. I'd say run smartass or savagezen if you're running their rom as it seems to be tweaked best with it. On cm7 my phone sleeps/wakes great, keyboard isn't laggy, and my CAMERA works!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
Some people seem to have issues with smartass/SZ waking up the screen, some people don't. The problem seems to not exist or be minimal on BFS for whatever reason.

So I'd recommend trying a different governor (interactive or conservative if you're going the battery life route) or the BFS version

*edit*

And just a little side note to a false idea that seems to be going around here:

- This kernel has no changes that are specific to the SavagedZen rom. All the features are available on ALL AOSP roms.

- This kernel doesn't discriminate between AOSP roms, so it's expected to work equally on all of them - including savaged-zen and CM7

Just thought I'd point it out, I noticed more than a few people stating that they don't recommend savaged-zen unless it's on the SZ rom, but it's really not the case.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bkrodgers:
Thanks -- I'll try out BFS at some point. I've heard it doesn't always play nice with some phones, but fingers crossed!

If not, it does seem like for me, smartass works fine at any min speed. Is that a better choice than interactive or conservative for battery? What about the question of using smartass @ 245 min vs SZ @ 384 min? I'd think it's best to have the phone at 245 when idle/asleep, but I've heard SZ's more conservative throttle up can be beneficial on the other end.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eniamg02:
Flashed 2.1.0 cfs earlier..no problems whatsoever.real nice, smooth kernel.battery seems good so far but gotta give it a few days.thanks,

Good work guys.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
The SZ gov sleeps and wakes up at 384 MHz regardless to minimize wakeup issues.

Honestly, i never really used smartass as battery doesn't seem that much better when compared to conservative or interactive and no matter what smartass i'm using it is slower. Ondemand gives me about equal performance to interactive except with slightly better battery life. Keep in mind, smartass was originally written and optimized for the HTC Hero - i never really liked it on my evo.

It's tough for me to tell the difference between battery life anyway because my phone's messed up. I don't like to sacrifice performance either, and interactive is very fast and gets me through the day on usually heavy usage.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flooberz:
So what are the differences between the governors? :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dthomas03:
+1. Thought I would give SZ a try after a couple of months. Very impressed with 2.1.0 cfs & sz governor. Awesome work guys.

~~~SuperSonic~~~
[EVO 4G Android Development] algirnavi451:
The way I understand them:

Performance: Runs at max at all times

Powersave: Runs at min all the times

Ondemand: scales up quickly to max, scales down slowly (more performance)

Conservative: scales up slowly, scales down faster (more battery), I might be wrong but i dont think it sleeps at low frequencies all the time

Interactive: tries to scale more accurately depending on load (usually a good mix of performance and battery, sleeps at low frequencies)

Smartass: interactive, but "smarter"

SZ: smartass, but actually smarter. More concentrated on battery than performance, however I get equal performance as i would run on demand on my phone (not quadrant scores but how well the phone responds and such)

and when i refer scaling, it talks about the CPU scaling, up is higher frequencies, down is lower.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisdelv:
If you turn on cardio trainer with music running using savaged-zen kernel as the governor and set 245/245 the music starts cracking phone does not respond and eventually reboots itself.

This does not happen with Tiamat kernel or default cyanogen kernel.

Also if you just run music with the gps on you will get same behavior.

HTC EVO HW 004
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
What governor, and tiamat 4.0 and CM kernel have a higher stock voltage at that level so maybe that's it.

And can you post a /proc/last_kmsg or a logcat
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greenfieldan:
Great kernel. Absolutely loving the benefits for my battery :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
I can verify it happens with SZ and Interactive governor. There's another governor it happens with but I can't remember which.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
Really if you're only running at 245Mhz min/max, performance is the best bet since the other governors want to scale which is just more overhead if you're running at a constant frequency.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
Don't know what makes you think I'm running 245 min/max. Smartass is the other governor I've had that issue with. No issues with On Demand. Seems to be related to certain governors.

For the record, 128/1190 and more often than not On Demand. No undervolting scripts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rebosxl:
Really wish this came in SVS! Yeah yeah yeah I know if you used savaged mod you can change it to SVS but my phone hates HAVS PERIOD! Would bootloop like crazy and when it eventually boots the rom, it would either reboot before I got to settings or reboot as I change it to SVS. Can't even try another kernel because the others have HAVS or NOSBC (and I need sbc for my extended battery).
[EVO 4G Android Development] cLOUDFAn:
sz 2.10 with cm7.0.2.1

google service 100% awake problem suddenly gone

everything work great (talk video chat works too if you flash the new "homemade" (not cm) gapp)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lento10:
Could you post a link for the homemade gapps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cLOUDFAn:
this is the one I used

[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
Granted this was taken about 10min after streaming the audio broadcast of a baseball game but I don't recall that process ever being that high. Is it normal to chew up that much of the CPU? SZ 2.1.0 CFS no additional undervolting.

[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I really wish certain members would stop inciting fears about SBC. Or at the very least keep it in the appropriate threads. The Savaged-Zen thread should be a place where we can gather information about the new kernel, not read repeated warnings about SBC.

The (unproven) potential risks have been documented and beaten to death in my opinion. Furthermore we now have disclaimers, so use at your own risk.

Back on topic, I'm very temped to try the beta but I almost want to wait until the Savaged-Zen tweaks are implemented. I can't wait!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dlbaker1179:
Thanks! Try it out now.....

[EVO 4G Android Development] shoobshoober:
Just out of curiosity. the sbc kernels do not seem to trickle charge for me. Is that how it's suppose to be for this? once I hit the 100% i start to get -ma's around 50-150.

this happens with both the cfs and bfs froyo wimax kernels
[EVO 4G Android Development] housry23:
I have noticed one strange bug with the beta. I am running CM7 nightlies. Everything was working with stock kernel, but after flashing this beta when I reboot my Angry Birds app icon is just the generic Android icon and it is no longer listed in drawer along with another app( I forget which other one because I rarely use it). I thought no problem, I'll just restore them using Titanium backup, but it fails every time. I tried to batch restore them and it said batch restore complete, but it is still not installed. Thanks for your hard work on this kernel guys. I am looking forward to when the goodies get implemented and we start getting stable releases. Just thought I'd report this strange little bug. If someone wants to tell me how to make a logcat I will duplicate this issue and report it in the bug tracker(if there is one).
[EVO 4G Android Development] shoobshoober:
did you download the newest version of the beta? they updated it with a usb fix so that apps installed on your sd show up again
[EVO 4G Android Development] schmooo:
same here .......
[EVO 4G Android Development] pastert33:
Im getting random reboots with both kernels on the alpha 2 wimax rom. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Can you please elaborate? USB connects and reconnects?
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Default governor is conservative and I personally recommend it

Read the OP please. These kernels are for AOSP ROMs, not sense ROMs.

What ROM are you using? I just tried Homerun Battle 3D on my phone and it worked flawlessly. I have been able to download from market and many of our users and testers also can.

We will plan to build a non HAVS version to satisfy some users. However, we have seen better battery life with HAVS and the kernel has been stable.

Please PM me or jsseidel1 with your user info and we will look into it

You are probably using the first version of the beta that was released in the morning. I suggest you download again as we uploaded new builds at 9 PM EST which fix the bug of applications on the SD card not appearing

I think this is an issue with the ROM itself though I can't say I'm 100% sure as I have not tried the ROM. Basically, Shinzul says in the OP that this ROM should be used with the kernel they provide which is a .34 because .35 was having problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hx3:
I'm definitely seeing some great battery life and performance with the CFS-HAVS-NoSBC-WiMAX Froyo kernel and CM 6.1.2. I have never gotten over 4 hours with the display on at automatic brightness.

No issues whatsoever on my end. 003 hardware and stock battery. SetCPU at 384/998 with the conservative governor. Moderate use with calls, texting, WordFeud, Facebook chat, benchmarking, web browsing and Market downloads/installs. Thanks for all of your hard work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
I'm running cm7 nightly #6 with the bfs havs no SBC and its freaking sick. So far so good I will report later if I find bugs. I do believe the dropbox link for the cfs gingerbread kernel is broken though it keeps linking me to an error page. But lastly great work team keep it up you guys are very talented.
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:

[EVO 4G Android Development] rstuckmaier:
Thank you for the BFS noSBC! I was an avid user of SBC but the "better safe than sorry" side of me has unfortunately lost to my logical side and I don't feel safe running SBC right now.

Have you not had any wifi issues with that kernel on CM7? My wifi interface kept giving errors and wouldn't connect at all. In settings it would show "Error".
[EVO 4G Android Development] aimbdd:
Okay I will post this again:

DON'T USE THIS KERNEL ON THE WIMAX ALPHA ROM. IT WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY

As has been said repeatedly on that thread... any kernel .35 or newer will cause problems. (this kernel is .37)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Lento10:
I don't have any issues yet, my phone is 002.

I have an older router set to g only.

on my phone the wifi is set to never sleep.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
Now I can appreciate the smoothness of this kernel even more.... I don't know what the CM team did on the latest nightly but everything just works much more fluid. And even in conservative this kernel flies
[EVO 4G Android Development] luisrcastillo:
Which file did you flash? I'd like the exact file name. If you flashed one that said Froyo you will have issues with WiFi on CM7. I used it on CM7 and one of our devs too and he doesn't have any problems with WiFi as well as dozens of users that use this with CM7

Thank you the appreciation, it's what thrives me to put more work into this kernel.

The conservative governor has been tweak to provide a smoother experience and also provide awesome battery life which is why it is the default governor :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mindctrl:
That's my problem then. I flashed Savaged-Zen-Beta-CFS-HAVS-SBC-WiMAX - Froyo.zip

I'll try the others and THANKS for your help and great work!

New kernel not working for me

Always running the latest CM7 and for some reason if I use anything newer than SZ 1.0.1 it does not work on my phone. It will boot up but is so slow that in essence it does not work. I go back to 1.0.1 and I am happy as can be.

Anyone else have these issues or thoughts on what I might do differently. I wipe but do not factory reset and don't want to. Have not needed to. Would that make the difference and it is worth it. What would I gain by getting 2.1 to work.

do a backup, then try it. you might spend 15 minutes of your day to figure out what we can't answer for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] algirnavi451:
Did you try CFS and BFS, do you have a low frequency set by accident, wipe dalvik and cache and just those, other kernels give you this problem (ex flash a tiamat or godmode kernel and see how your phone behaves.

Try any of those before starting clean.

Real and Honest Stats

Want opinions, we are creating a stats app based off CM's as we want real stats not stats like other devs that use a google doc form that can be fudged easy.... We want something that can only be updated by the app.

Would anyone have reservations of us including it in the ROM and kernel installers?

It would include

(location (country))

(ROM Name and Version)\

(Device Name)i.e EVO

(Kernel Name and Version)

(Date Installed)

(UID(this would be a anonymous number so we dont get doubled stats for the same person installing on same phone multiple times))

Please send your feed back either here, or if you have more to say, PM this account. We dont want to flood the thread with bunch of ?'s
[EVO 4G Android Development] drdrewdown:
i wouldn't be opposed as long as it has no effect on battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
Nope its a one time run. Doesnt run in the background. Just grabs the fields and shoots them to a DB. its opened source too so you can see exactly what the app will do. Nothing is hidden

I would be perfectly fine with that

I don't know if its my charger, but once I switched to 2.1 it takes forever to charge my battery. we're talking less than 10% in 2 hours

[EVO 4G Android Development] spanglmd:
I haven't tried that yet. Flashing an older SZ now
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhaui:
I'm still having trouble with the SBC script. Typically it wouldn't be an issue because I use the SZ Rom, but I've been on Cyanogen Nightlies until some stable renditions start coming out again. Normally I use SBC, but the battery I have now I don' like ot use it with because when charging it gets substantially over 4.2mV, which scares me a little.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Would we get to say no, or would this be automatic and no choice?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xpanmanx:
I need a little help understanding this. Let's say I'm out on the road somewhere and my battery is running low. As I understand it, if I want a fast charge, I must disable SBC.

I first followed the terminal emulator instructions to write "0" to sysctl_batt_sbc. Charging didn't seem to speed up. I reseated the power connector without luck.

Then I booted into recovery and flashed the SBC_OFF-SIGNED.ZIP. Upon reboot, I found that sysctl_batt_sbc was set to "1".

Please, what am I doing wrong here?

CM7.1N62 with SZ 2.1.0 CFS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] algirnavi451:
I believe the devs forgot to update the SBC_off script. Last reported it wasnt working. I never saw a difference in the charge speed between SBC and non-SBC
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
you can opt-out. its purley optional
[EVO 4G Android Development] xpanmanx:
My phone seems to charge very slowly with SZ 2.1.0, as compared to the CM7N62 kernel. Is mine a typical SZ experience?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
I'm perfectly fine with it then. For the record I probably wouldn't opt out, I just like to have the choice. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] DeMiNe0:
When using this kernel is there an app I can use to toggle SBC on and off? I saw the two flashable zips, but I want similar functionality as the savaged zen rom, where sbc can be switched on and off from a menu.

I saw the commands for turning it off via terminal.

^ Can I just create a script to run one of those commands? And while running those commands, do I need to have the phone unplugged? And is there anything I need to do after running those commands to make the change go into effect?
