Cool; I have it set for smartass so I won't **** around with it for now and see what happens. Thanks for the feedback.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
That may be part of my problem, I've been in and out of 1x and 3G all morning plus fairly heavy use. Hopefully once I'm in a more stable area, which I usually am, maybe battery life will improve.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] AGiLiT:
Thanks, Cloverdale.

And I stand corrected; or at least confused :confused: I am not getting root access on a stock ROM either. Could've sworn I tested that...

Lesson learned: Too late at night; too little caffeine makes for bad testing.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
It is not just you, I had root access with adb on the stock ROM, and then one day did not. I think it had something to do with updating my PRL, because I had changed nothing else (just a wild guess though, so please do not flame me for this). That is why I modded a kernel to regain the ability.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
If you can link me to some good info on this, I'll implement the fix ASAP. I have found the setting that needs to be modified, but I'm not yet familiar with how to modify or create a cpio file.

EDIT: anyone want to test this? Same kernel as 20110404, but with the adb fix implemented.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] AGiLiT:
Sure; I'll test.

I have created a new .zip of the Sense kernel with the fixes to the build.prop file in the ramdisk portion of the kernel. Unfortunately, I can't test this at the moment. Thanks to the help of AGiLiT, I do know that this version boots, but he reported that commands like "adb root" still weren't working.

Any input?

Sense kernel: [link removed, see first post]

(CM7 users, IGNORE THIS!)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cloverdale:
I need to get to bed now, but I will check this out in the morning and see if I can be of any help. (Assuming one of the much more brilliant people on here does not do it first).

Edit: I tried making the edit myself, give this a try: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3690592/x99kernel-sense-20110404_adb-mod.zip and please let me know if it gives adb root access.

x99percent, if you do not want me posting this, just let me know and I will pull it down.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fifedogg:
So far this is my favorite kernel for CM7. I love your implementation and settings you use.

1 thing though, I seem to have wake lag from time to time. It sometimes takes 4 seconds or so for my screen to come on once I press the power button. My lights will come on the 4 buttons on the bottom instantly but takes some time to bring the screen up. I used the same settings on the Sense rom I was using with no lag whatsoever. Just pointing this out so you know.

Thanks for all your good work x99 like I said this is my favorite kernel thus far :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] AGiLiT:
yes!!!

Root!!!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] l2icky:
Does this work with Evervolv as well? Without killing any of the functions?

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
I would say yes. As far as I can tell, the latest changes he made over the past week didn't affect the EVO Shift (Speedy) at all.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cosine83:
Are you going to make this available in Kernel Manager?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
Look again, you must have missed it. ;) ;)

Also, if someone can let me know if my Sense kernel flashes properly from Kernel Manager, that would be great...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fifedogg:
What does this update do?

Step up to 2.6.32.36 from 2.6.32.33 in CM7 kernel

Just used kernel manager to download and install your newest kernel and it worked for me.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jchappies:
^^SAME^^

I'd like to know what the diff. is too.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] njeske:
curious here as well. just flashed it and everything seems fine.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
The point revisions are part of the official updates to the Linux kernel... mostly comprised of bugfixes for things that don't concern Android users.

Example:

http://lwn.net/Articles/435666/

I had already been running the patches on my phone... since I was updating the .zip files to be used with the Kernel Manager, I figured I would put the "latest and greatest" version out there for everyone else to use, too.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cosine83:
I actually checked right before I posted that but your stuff is definitely there now.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] AGiLiT:
Flashed Sense kernel just fine; software information shows kernel version 2.6.32.21#8 with 4/11 date.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MaxCarnage:
Updated my kernel through Kernel Manager today, and it caused my phone to lockup on boot. Had to pull my battery and bootup into recovery, then flash an older version of the kernel I had on my SD card. Anyone else had a problem like this? Trying to determine if it was the new version of the kernel or an issue with Kernel Manager.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] southernstyle:
while using the sense-20110411 #8, I noticed that when I turn the screen on from sleep, it kind of starts in the middle and comes out like an old TV.. tube TV lol doesn't seem like a huge thing but it doesn't seem good either.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Caiaphas:
That sounds like CM7? Unless it was snuk into the kernel?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
I flashed my own through the Kernel Manager. No issues here.

If they haven't already, they need to implement a checksum check into the Kernel Manger to make sure that the downloaded file is not corrupted (flaky data connection, bad SD card, etc.).
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] southernstyle:
its not an animation if that's what you mean. It only does it if the phone has sat for a few mins and I turn the screen on. It doesn't do it on the sense kernel before that one so I am sticking with that one instead.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
It is an animation you can turn off or on in the cyanogenmod settings. Its screen off and screen on animations.

<Blaze One>
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] southernstyle:
Maybe it was, but I was using Sense kernel on nfx

Sent from your Mom's Jitterbug
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MaxCarnage:
That's a good point, because after I got my phone up-and-running I made sure that Kernel Manager was up-to-date and flashed the kernel through it again to update it, and it worked fine that second time.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] DisposableHero:
im on evervolv and my battery drains super fast.. dont know if its gingerbread or this kernel.. just flashed kernel as is. any ideas?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
I believe that's a cm7 kernel issue, I get that even on the stock cm kernel. Or maybe our phones just like to not wake up from the lockscreen
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
My lockscreen accually wakes up now on cm7.0.2 a lot better, however, turning on wifi makes my phone boot loop
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dubs.law:
Guess you were right JKILO, can't be a coincidence, but i was using this ROM on MikShift v.1.1 with honeycomb and gmail stopped working, just flashed bnice 1.8 and immediately my emails started syncing. . .
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
This would be the first and ONLY report I've ever heard of this problem.

Which version/revision did you flash? Can you make the problem repeat with a *clean* flash of 7.0.2 and my kernel?

EDIT: Verified the problem with a clean flash of 7.0.2 ... I'll be looking into this today.

EDIT2: The fix is to flash the kernel *AFTER* you boot up the ROM for the first time. If you're stuck in boot loops, go into recovery, flash the 7.0.2 file again, let it boot, make sure Wifi works, then go back into recovery and flash the x99kernel.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
The only thing a "JKILO" posted about was some mysterious GPS issue that didn't make much sense. No one else has posted about a problem with GPS... so I'm not sure how you're relating that to a gmail issue..?

Re-download the kernel, flash, and clear the dalvik cache before booting. Alternately, you can flash the kernel through the Kernel Manager, which will clear the cache for you automatically.

On a side note, I tried using the MikShift ODEXed ROM a long time ago, and went back to another ROM due to all of the weird issues I was having. At the time, it seemed (seems?) like no one's ODEXed ROMs were working quite right. If it is an odd compatibility issue with the kernel, I'm open to hearing a *technical* discussion about it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] PaulB007:
Will there be an updated x99 kernel for CM7 on gingerbread 2.3.4?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Revverok:
The x99 kernel doesn't work on CM 7.0.3.1 correctly, wifi no longer works once it is flashed.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] PaulB007:
Yes thats correct. We need an update.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
Ahh, that's right... I forgot that I owe people something. :p

I'm working on it, but having issues trying to get at a specific branch of the kernel source on github.

EDIT: Just flashed my own kernel from the "Kernel Manager Lite" app, and WiFi works just fine. Not sure what's different there...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cosine83:
Everything works fine on 7.0.3.1 for me with this kernel. I use wifi all the time at home.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] PaulB007:
I think it will work on the last stable build but on the newer gingerbread nightlies it doesnt.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
So your asking for an updated overclock kernel to work with 2.3.4
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] PaulB007:
Yeah. I noticed that 3g seemed slow as well, almost as if it was in 1x just saying it was 3g. bcnice20s kernel also breaks wifi.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Lancerz:
Just flashed the x99 kernal on Evervolv 2.3.4 and my wifi no longer works also. Is there a way to remove a kernal and go back to the stock one?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
You could try to just flash evervolv again without wiping anything and see if that gives you your stock kernel again
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] njeske:
WiFi is working just fine for me with this kernel and CM 7.0.3.1. I upgraded from 7.0.2.1, not from one of the nightlies. Just saying in case that makes a difference for anyone.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cosine83:
You realize that none of the current AOSP kernels will work with any of the nightlies, right? The latest nightlies are built on 2.3.4 and these kernels are meant for 2.3.3 and will break some things in it. You also can't downgrade back to 2.3.3 from 2.3.4 very well, either. You'd need to wipe and flash for things to work properly.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
I'm currently running nightly #65 with my kernel... and WiFi works just fine..? I flashed it with with the Kernel Manager app and everything is working A-OK.

Admittedly, when I flashed the SAME kernel directly in recovery, WiFi stopped working. I have also tried building a new kernel from toast's latest branch, but it still had issues. If anyone has any insight to this WiFi issue, I'm all ears.

EDIT: That doesn't seem to be working, either... the phone can see the available networks, but is unable to connect.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cosine83:
Exactly, it hangs on getting an IP then disconnects. SO WEIRD!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
It does the same thing with a new kernel built from the latest CyanogenMod branch. I must be missing something...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] :
How do I go about adding the frequencies and voltages from this kernel to rafpigna's OC 1.9 kernel on the hd2? I believe they're the same Snapdragon processors, correct? I want 1.8Ghz on my HD2!

cya
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Scaryghoul:
They don't have the same cpu, I believe the HD2 has a first generation snapdragon processor and GPU(QSD8250 and adreno200), where the shift has a second gen processor and gpu(MSM7230 & adreno205).

If the HD2 could actually handle the speeds/voltages of the shift, you'd edit the voltage/clock tables in the kernel source and recompile.

Even if you managed to clock it to 1.8ghz stable, it wouldn't be as fast as the shift being a first generation processor.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] :
Sweet dude, thanks for the info bro. That's pretty killer that it might be possible on the HD2. I mean if i can clock this thing to 1.8Ghz then that would hold me off from buying an LG G2x for a while. I love how the HD2 runs at 1536Mhz. So would it require a computer programmer like you guy's who build the kernel's to compile a 1.8Ghz overclock on the HD2? Or is it a simple process of finding the config file somewhere in the \sys\ or \system\ folder and edit the table to allow for frequencies that exceed that of 1536mhz? What kind of voltage does the evo shift need to pull off 1.8Ghz?

thanks
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Scaryghoul:
If it were possibly to do so and keep it stable, I'm pretty sure it'd have already been done. If you push it much further, you run the risk of damaging your phone. Which is why it's generally left to the discretion of developers to push these limits because we already understand the risks of pushing it into unstable waters.

As I said, it'd require editing some code tables in the kernel source then recompiling, so it'd require a kernel developer of some sort, or someone to write a completely non-standard voltage/clock table interface at user level(We won't get into that, just stating that it's an option).

Voltages for the evo shift at 1.8ghz, well generally I see them range between 1425-1475mV, a lot of devs are uneasy about pushing out a kernel that exceeds 1500mV(Required if you want to push several steps farther). The stock voltage is at 1000mV for the htc evo shift, the voltages vary between devices, models, chipsets, and architecture.

You'd have to find a correct balance between voltage and speed in order to get it successful(not stable, just...getting it to boot), I suggest you leave it up to a developer to take do it if they deem it necessary, as tampering with voltages/speeds can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Also not all processors with the same hardware can handle the same things, a lot of shift's can't clock to 1.8ghz, and mine caps out at 2ghz, while others seem to be able to push 2.2ghz+(unstable of course, or we'd have released it).
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
Bump. Need someone to test... see first post.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CrashV2010:

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] popasmurfn23:
hey are you guys working on a kernal for the kingdom speedy??
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] x99percent:
Nothing, really. All that is changed is the flashing method.

One side-effect is that WiFi now seems to work on the newer Cyanogen nightly releases (Android version 2.3.4).

"You guys"? I don't believe that HTC has released any Gingerbread+Sense kernel source yet...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
is usb tethering working for this kernel on the latest source? I have a issue where my ubuntu natty 64bit doesn't provide the correct wifi driver, so I just use my phone :p Hopefully they will update the driver soon

[Atrix 4G General] afstefan:
doesn't matter for me I just went with the Inspire (desire hd) (whatever you want to call it) but I just noticed while shopping for accessories the Seidio has a seperate category for an upcoming Atrix on Verizon

um ok I haven't posted enough to put a direct link so here

www seidioonline com /Articles.asp?ID=164

not certain if that is a mistake but I haven't seen anything else about it if it is true.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
it's a mistake. there is absolutely no chance of a CDMA atrix in its current form. that would defeat the purpose of the droid bionic.
[Atrix 4G General] azwildfire:
I wouldnt say NO CHANCE of a CDMA atrix - the hardware already supports it (read the ifixit tear down)

http://xedapdiahinh.com/2011/03/17/rumor-motorola-atrix-and-xoom-headed-to-sprint-4g-next-month/

But I would agree that it is unlikey to be on Verizon natively.

I wouldnt be surprised if the bionic is just a re named atrix - less ram and no webtop are only real differences... it is already said that a bionic fits in an atrix dock.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
It's not entirely out of the realm of possibility. Motorola probably has a lot of docks (laptop dock, multimedia dock, etc.) they would like to sell but more than likely it is referring to a Sprint Atrix which has been brought up in another thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=997354
[Atrix 4G General] zizux:
Even if they did bring the same device it wouldn't actually be the same device (Dif radio) and it would probably get a new name.
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
i thought the one for verizon is called bionic
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Yes, but on the Seidio website they have a listing for an Atrix (Verizon) and the Bionic.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
there is no way seidio would know anything about an as-of-yet nonexistent device before any other outlet (tech blogs, leakers, etc). i chalk it up to a typo.
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
Yea, like everyone else is saying, that's what the Droid Bionic is for...
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
I don't know. Manufacturers of accessories usually can have a decent head start on upcoming devices. Just look at the iPhone 4 and the iPad2. Case makers had designs out for those a couple months ahead of time. Granted, the Atrix is no iPhone or iPad in terms of anticipated release, but they might have an idea. Plus, "leakers" sell info to accessory companies for monetary gain, otherwise why would they do it?
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
They might have the right idea in assuming a CDMA version, just the wrong carrier:

I want to make my own themes for the shift but all the tutorials I have found seem to have a ton of irrelevant information and I'm not sure they are compatible with the shift. What programs do I need in order to make the .ZIP files that contain themes?

I have photoshop so I can make custom .pngs/icons/etc. but I want to be able to make a .zip that I can flash to my phone and perhaps post on here.

Is there some sort of dummy file with all the images so I can just overwrite the stock images and rename the .zip or is it more complicated than that?
