[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Congrats on joining the kernel-flashing world, hope it treats you well.

I run CM7, and have found that SavagedZen tends to be faster than Tiamats... it just depends on your personal opinion, experiment as much as you want (just don't flash a Sense kernel on an AOSP ROM :eek: )

If you're using SavagedZen-1.0.1 CFS HAVS noSBC (the most recent SavagedZen kernel) then you don't need to use SetCPU, the HAVS (hybrid adaptive voltage scaling) and SetCPU would work against each other. HAVS works to tone down your CPU as needed and such.

To change your governor (the thing that manages your CPU), go to Settings - CyanogenMod settings - Performance - CPU settings.

Oh, and CFS stands for "Completely Fair Scheduler". It means that it doesn't let one program use up the a huge chunk of the CPU. It is good for an overall system and is supposed to have better battery life. BFS stands for "Brain F*** Scheduler. It gives the priority to foreground tasks. Think about gaming and whatever demanding programs you may use.

I use both, but the most commonly downloaded one is CFS (at least for SavagedZen)

Here's a link to explain kernels, this guy does a great job of explaining: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894880

SavagedZen, hands down. No competition. My phone hates BFS kernels too....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilbydakid:
so right now im running the savage zen bfs kernel. if i want to switch to the cfs kernel do i have to do a full wipe or just a cache and dalvik?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I would recommend the Tiamat kernel personally.

Also, just make a backup, and just wipe the cache and dalvik, then flash.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilbydakid:
thanx for the info.

ill give the bfs and the tiamat kernel a shot. i feel like im turning into a flash whore. lol

Lol naw, you're just experimenting. Trying not to get bored right now cuz I don't have my evo >>.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MizzouBrent:
I've mainly used Tiamat. Running the current version right now...3.3.3 no SBC. It seems responsive and I'm getting pretty good battery life. I will have to try SavagedZen sooner or later to see how it stacks up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
BFS kernels theoretically are supposed to give you better battery life, I used the cfs sbc savage zen and it was pretty good for speed; the bfs sbc savage zen gave me the better battery life. The only thing I can say I definitely noticed about bfs/cfs is that scrolling on bfs seems to be VERY choppy compared to cfs. No matter what profile you use on bfs the scrolling was still super choppy. So to confirm this I got back on cfs and scrolling overall was smooth as butter in cfs. Just to put this out there, I recently switched to the tiamat kernel and I'm seeing about a 15% battery increase (sounds like a little but that's a big deal) lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidwater:
So I did as suggested...

Backup

Clear cache/data

Flash Savage

But I was under the assumption that it'd only change the kernel, not the rom? So when it booted it was a stock/default flash. I restored to my backedup rom. Did I just negate the kernel flash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:

So I had twingerbread on my phone for quite a while, really good battery life and amazing, i MEAN AMAZING signal, nothing less then 4 bars in my house (stock or any other rom 2-3) But I want to try something new, so i tried phoenix 7.0, and I really like the design and everything but my bars are in the range of 1-3 most of the time. What should I go with....?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
This is REALLY your own choice. If you would like, you can always try putting the modem that Twingerbread is using on to your Phoenix phone (if they are using the same version of Android).

That should theoretically give you the best of both worlds (as far as "style" and signal strength goes).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickelnoodensoup:
Both of these ROM's use the same modem (jk4), so it's odd that they would have drastically different signal strength.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Check that the rom maker didn't change the signal images to artificially boost signal.

yea that may be the one where there is no graphic for 2-3 bars. basically the phone will always say 4 bars unless it is down to one bar or no service. read the first post i read it in one if the threads. the dev did that because he doesnt really care to know if it is 2 bars as long as the phone is working.

[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
So I'm getting out of my car yesterday, and my phone was in my case attached to my belt. However, the magnetic flap the prevents the phone from sliding out apparently didn't make good contact and the phone slid out of its case and landed right on a corner and turned the screen digitizer into a spider web of broken glass.

I don't want to go through my insurance for several reasons. Therefore, I went on eBay and ordered a new digitizer for about $34 shipped with Priority Mail. However, I'd also like to replace the actual plastic case that holds the phone together, as it has some broken clips and the phone looks like it wants to come apart. However, I can't find anyone selling it. There are some video tutorials on Youtube and it seems like an easy enough process, I just can't seem to find the part.

Does anyone know where I can purchase an OEM exterior case for this phone?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to global direct parts you can get oem cases and parts there for good prices. I think an oem case in there is 30 dollars or so.

Well, I double-posted this thread trying to edit the subject line to add "resolved" to it. My other thread is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12141063#post12141063

On this thread, I added a link I found to a US seller on eBay. I got the housing for $25 shipped, and it brings the adhesive already. All you have to do it peel the tape and place the new digitizer in place.

Digitizer = $35 shipped

Housing = $25 shipped

Total cost= $60

Yea, I could have paid $40 more and had Asurion send me a refurb, but then I'd have to start over from scratch and then if I have one more claim within a year, they kick me out and I have no more insurance. I'd rather save my claims for when I do something really stupid and completely break my phone or flat out lose it (knock on wood).

In the meantime, it really sucks because I feel like I'm going to cut my finger on the screen. Works flawlessly, though.......incredibly enough.

Edit: The $35 Sprint deal was a no go. I was told by the in-store rep of the repair center I went to that they are not allowed to even touch the phone because there are obvious signs of physical damage. Even then, the $35 charge was for people who did NOT have insurance on their phones. I asked if I changed the digitizer myself, could I then bring the phone back in to replace the case for cosmetic issues and pay the $35 and was told yes. However, I do not think she knew what she was talking about and I called a different repair center where I was told they couldn't do a damn thing for me. That's when I went ahead and ordered the parts myself.
[EVO 4G General] NSRider:
This just happened to a co-worker of mine and a Sprint repair center here in Kansas City replaced his screen for him. It was covered under his insurance with no deductible. Surprised the hell out of him.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Well, your friend is a very lucky guy. Even when Sprint was doing this a short while ago, there was a $35 fee associated with it. Your buddy's luck was as good getting the problem fixed as it was bad when the phone broke to begin with. lol
[EVO 4G General] Imprezed:
crap, I never bought insurance. So they don't do the 35 dollar thing anymore? That was very appealing which is why I waived insurance on my girlfriends evo.
[EVO 4G General] ScandaLeX:
Same happened to me less than 2 months ago. My heart stopped when my Evo slapped the hard tiled floor. One repair center told me to go online (Asurion) and file the claim. Instead I went home & went to a different repair center the next morning. They replaced the screen & didn't charge me a dime.
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
The $35 repair fee does cover exchanges or repairs without insurance. However, the policy was slightly modified as of Feb 1st. Any LCD/lens/digitizer with multiple cracks or a single crack longer than 1 inch is considered damaged beyond repair (DBR). An insurance claim would have to be filed. If the digitizer simply stops functioning, it can still be replaced under insurance or the $35 repair fee.

For those that would want to do the repair themselves, be warned. There are two different types of Evo screens. One made by Sharp and one made by AUO. They are not interchangeable.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Update:

The process did not go well. It was actually very easy, IMO, but it turns out that the LCD cracked along with the digitizer when the phone fell. Therefore, it broke even more during the process of removing it from the digitizer and became useless. However, I feel that if the LCD would not have been damaged during the initial fall, that I would have been able to do it.

With that said, I called Asurion for a replacement and the Evo is back ordered so I have to wait 7-10 days for them to send me another phone. In the meantime, I have been reduced to this:

Good times!

Why did you flash the stock image through recovery? You should have done it via hboot. You get into hboot by holding volume down and power. Is that what you meant? Try flashing the image again.

Hey guys,

I have a really bad problem.

I was on the Cyanogenmod 2.2.1 ROM, for some time, until i noticed, that my USB connector at the X10i was broken.

I wanted to flash the original ROM, but there was only the possibility to flash a xrecovery-backup, because i cant connect my X10i through USB :( (Charging works, but its a bit strange :D).

Now I am on 2.1.A.0.435 (Baseband 2.1.54).

The problem is, I unrooted my device (Z4root), then I noticed, that my superuser.apk wasn't deleted.

At the beginning I thought, it wouldn't be such a problem, just re-root the device, delete that superuser.apk, then unroot again.

But that's the big problem.

Is there any possibility to Root 2.1.A.0.435 with an .APK?

The problem is the Exploit, because there (doesn't ?) exist a psneuter exploit Root.apk :(.

Could anyone help me with my problem?

That would be really great!

The Full HowTo is located at the end of the original post - Here

First of all Thank you for this great rom.

I Upgraded from 1.04 >> 1.05 >> 1.06 >> 1.08 (each of them)

I really like CyanogenMod but i don't like ADW because of it's Drawer lag.

That is the main reason for me to choose this ROM - i prefer the GBLauncher Better.

Now, i wanted to have better look and feel which means i had to find a Theme That will fit this ROM.

So i chose the great amazing theme called "MattedBlues" (V2.4.2) - made by 'jabbawalkee' which is compatible for CyanogenMod_7_RC1/RC2.

I really think this is the best theme available for the Nexus S.

And Since GBCollab is Based on CyanogenMod you can flash this theme on this ROM too.

On the way i also upgraded to the latest Radio ("...KB3GRI54")

Another thing i had to do is to replace the Launcher APK after flashing the Theme so i found a BlueLauncher.apk that i pushed and it works.

Now i wanted to have some nice animations (transitions) to make it even more Beautiful so i tried the "Anim Mod" app - which is not working but that is not Going to stop us right ? - at the developer website there is a small howto for Choosing your favorite animation and adding it To your ROM.

Now i have a beautiful,stable,themed,animated ROM with CyanogenMod Advantages and GBLauncher - all in Blue color.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I understand your enthusiasm, and I don't mean to sound rude but why was a new thread for this necessary? There are already a thread for the specific ROM (in which I see you did already post this) and theme not to mention the reference stickied in the development section that has descriptions of every ROM, theme, and kernel. And then your homescreen shots should have gone in the Show us your homescreens thread stickied in the themes and apps section...

Oh also, I released a few modified version of MattedBlues that included a modified stock launcher that is themed to match mattedblues as well as a few other version with different colored status bars and status bar text.
