I'm not quite sure that formatting cache is messing with the CustomMTD patches.

When you first setup the CustomMTD the script patches the info from mtdpartmap.txt to your Recovery. Once you do that, your partition sizes should always remain how you had them no matter how many times you format them.... that is until you flash a new recovery or re-run the recovery patcher with new values, etc.

Can you explain what happens when the kernel gets installed to change the values of your cache partition? You are remembering to flash the kernel ('boot') patch each time you change kernels?

Also, if this is broken, it would probably need Firerat's attention as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sftd:
So last night I did a full circuit of testing on the "new" batch of kernels that just dropped in the last few days, albiet that only entails this kernel (in the CFS 1.0.0 variety) and Tiamat 3.3.2. My current rom is the GB build of MIUI (using ADW EX to emulate the look of vanilla AOSP, I know, that's self defeating), and the kernel I was coming from was SZ CFS 0.2.1. Now as we all know we can run linpack and quadrant for days and to some degree tailor the results to anything we like and all the while not gain any insight into actual end-user performance and accessibility of the handset. We can also flip through homescreens and watch opening transitions to judge the legendary "smoothness" factor, but again, this in my opinion entails too many factors to quantify much. So for my personal judgement I have developed a rather dumb, completely unscientific "benchmark" of sorts. I use the Pulse app extremely frequently, if any of you are familiar with this app, you'll know that if you have the maximum number of feeds loaded in your main screen, it is extremely tasking on your device. So in turn, the performance (meaning FPS while moving about the feeds, quickness of scrolling, etc) of this particular app at max feeds is my personal benchmark.

That (novel) said, this kernel is as of the moment the hands down fastest for my particular 004 handset. In addition, I am not seeing (so far!) any battery life sacrifices from the previous 0.2.1 variety. For boredoms sake, I'll throw out a little rating system I make up for myself when testing kernels based on the ol 1-10 system. Since this is the fastest kernel I've tried, it will assume the position of 10. That established, I would rank the previous SZ build as an 8, the prebuilt MIUI-GB kernel at a 7, and the latest Tiamat build at a 5. These tests used two governor settings per kernel, in the case of both non-SZ kernels that would be smartass and interactive, and in the case of SZ interactive and the SZ governor. Frequency ranges on all tests were 245-1036.

In the end, my particular handset yet again thanks the absolute hell out of you guys! :)

Anyone else having tethering problems? 3g and 4g both are giving me issues. Wifi connects but can't get any sites to come up. Almost like tunneling is not enabled. Went back to the previous kernel and it's fine. Cm n26. Also noticed problems with turning on the screen...had to hold the power button until it went to the reboot menu to get screen on. Screen on animation is turned on, no difference with it off. Hardware 004.

Kernel Flashing

Sorry for the stupid question, but looking for right way or best practice. I've seen it once somewhere, someone mention that kernels should be flashed immediately while still in recovery after a rom flash? or can you flash any/new kernel anytime after rom has been flashed, then rebooted. Does either method make a difference? Why I asked is if I flash CM7 and SZ 1.0 kernel at the same time while in recovery, phone will boot fine, a second reboot freezes at the HTC EVO white screen for hours and never recovers, not even if battery is taken and power on again. I've been running both of these scenarios for over a week now, the conclusion that seems to be correct is flash kernels after rom has been flashed, and booted first. Just wanted to know if anyone else is seeing this. Thx!

P.S. - Whatever magic potion robbed from the gods and inserted into this kernel is amazing, WOW, my EVO runs like a champ on the BFS kernel with CM7 nightly, the unofficial kang build. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
You should be able to flash a kernel at any time after a rom has been booted, used, rebooted, whatever. For example, I flashed Tiamat 3.3.2 on an existing MIUI installation with no problems.

I've also never had a problem flashing a kernel in the same session as the rom. I flashed the new Savaged-Zen release at the same time as the new MIUI update with no problems.

Some people seem to have problems one way and not the other. It's just luck, I guess. Just stick to what works for you, and you shouldn't have problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
I know Josh has said before if you have SBC installed, it will just work....but check out my latest charging log. Significant difference from .2.1, voltage isn't getting up to 4200mV and the drain is very negative...any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
SBC doesn't seem to like all phones, I personally can't get it to work. When charging, it still goes from ~88% to full really fast and still gets rapid drain back down to 89-90% with minimal use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
It worked beautifully on the last build...I might downgrade to check it out
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
I'm currently on the previous build, haven't tried the new one yet. Even tho the SBC portion doesn't appear to be functioning correctly for me.. I'm still getting excellent battery life. It has been forever since I was able to do that so I have been paranoid about messing with anything =p
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
I re-implemented the SBC stuff on git by hand, so hopefully the next build will fix the SBC issues. In case something was missing or not up to date, the indenting is better too so the code is somewhat legible now too :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
so, it's possible that SBC is not in this build?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
No SBC is definitely in this build, but there might have been an error in the implementation which caused some issues. The new stuff I did seems to be working perfect for me now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
interesting...went back to 0.2.1 just to see if I get the results I used to get
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
Here's a 1.0 cfs build if anyone wants to see if their sbc is functioning properly.

[EVO 4G Android Development] adma84:
did you find some stuff not implemented correctly? I went back to .2.1 and SBC works as expected

edit* Added a screen shot...this is much more of what I would expect with SBC
[EVO 4G Android Development] bbedward:
idk that's why i re-did it entirely (the one i posted is not the same as on the mirror). Also the stuff on ms79723's github had no indenting or spaces, I kept all of that too to make it legible.

I had issues with SBC on 1.0, but after the latest commit it works fine

edit:

https://github.com/Savaged-Zen/Savaged-Zen/commit/791210055435a3d42f10697ccfa43a17a2b21803

^^ That's the commit that should fix SBC for everyone

Because the old one was simply copying the htc_battery driver from ms79723's github not all of the updates were there. I just implemented the SBC stuff by hand on the newest driver instead (which i've been meaning to do for awhile now) and everything seems to be in order now.

Hi is there a reason I cant oc to 1280 on my 004 hardware with this kernel? Thx
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Yes. The devs capped the clock speed at 1.2GHz (1190MHz).

Many phones get unstable if they're overclocked any higher, so it's safer to just limit the top speed to prevent problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
To use Savaged-Zen with CM6, you will need a Froyo version of the kernel. Unfortunately, the last release was Gingerbread-only. But the latest release should include everything for HDMI.

Tried to install but failed. Zip isn't signed correctly. Should I toggle sig ver and install?

I went from 0.2.1 (CFS, noSBC) to 1.0.0 (CFS, noSBC) and had RIDICULOUS change for the worse, in battery performance. Whereas 0.2.1 was excellent with the SavagedZen governor, the new version was atrocious. Like, with .2.1, I had battery life approaching 19-20 hours, but with the same usage, I got less than 12 hrs from 1.0.0.

Any ideas as to why?

I'm rolling back to 0.2.1 for the time being.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Circaflex:
So i have fully come to the conclusion my phone hates any kernel with HAVS+ I have tried both bfc and cfs each type of govenor and set my wifi sleep to never and i will get random reboots throughout the day, sometimes it will get stuck on the white evo screen and requires a few battery pulls before it comes back to life. This happens with tiamat kernel as well totally sucks
[EVO 4G Android Development] grungbuk:
I'm sorry i don't want to sound like a **** but there was only one supposed case of a battery catching fire and there was no proof ever given.

So please don't spread information that isn't completely true you will confuse people

Do a quick thread search... luis posted a link to ziggys i think. he has instructions... its essentially a echo into the file....

Taken From Ziggys site:

echo “128000 850 900″ > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels_havs

With 1.0.1 the minimum can be as low as 800

Oh, I found it a while ago. I'm just saying that it would be good to put into the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Seagrizzly:
Would you have to set these for ever freq that you were using. Is there a thread that shows what and how to adjust these guys. I would assume you use adb shell but I am not positive of that.

I do understand that the echo will just dump text into the havs file, can we just open and edit this file? Is the echo into the file a one time deal or does it have to be done ever boot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thegregbradley:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but running a noHAVS and noSBC version of this kernel is akin to just running the stock CM7 kernel, yes? The benefits of SZ seem to be primarily in battery life: the governor actively changing the cpu mhz, the havs undervolting, and the SBC charging, otherwise it's just minor tweaks that separate it from the "stock" cm7 kernel. I suppose the updated linux base is a nice addition, but CM7 seems to want to run on the linux base of the stock kernel anyway.

Point being, people requesting removal of what makes up the key features of SZ almost might as well just stay stock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueHarford:
no there are diffrent schedulers, tweaks to them, many other things than those features, i dont want to down CM kernel cause its great but in terms of comparing it to this kernel i would call it a stock kernel, as it is a linux/android kernel for AOSP roms with no big modifications in the realm of voltage and schedulers and such, they do customize what they would call a stock rom, but not to what i guess XDA would call it a custom kernel.

if that makes sense while still being PR correct lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] thegregbradley:
Definitely makes sense, but it's all stuff that I'd never really tell is different, haha. I'm sort of a minor leaguer when it comes to tech stuff, I'm really just running SZ for the battery life, as it is definitely better than the stock CM7 kernel. To be perfectly honest, I can't really tell that ANYTHING is different with Gingerbread versus Froyo aside from the keyboard + text insertion ease, the screen off animation, and the little glow when you get to the end of a list. Ha! The rest is all under-the-hood stuff as far as I can tell, but it's cool to have, I guess. I'm just a dweeb who wants the newest hotness all the time :)
