Hey guys. i've had it with Froyo. i have a list of complaints, but that kind of post has been done too many times.
basically i'm wondering how to "downgrade" back to a 2.1 rom. i started with OMJ's 2.1 "eclair" rom and now i'm running his 2.2 froyoized rom. i'd like to revert back to the latter. can someone clue me in on how best to accomplish this?
thanks!
I should expect it to be as simple as clearing data/cache/davlik and flashing the rom you want to use.
Don't think you can but I'm not 100% sure Idk what problems ur having but 2.2. Has been a beast for me
from the apple store loling

That's what I assumed. i just wanted to make sure before i screw something up.
@SporkMan, basically it seems slower, the battery life is awful and recently, i've noticed the phone itself is HOTTER. i carry it in a holster on my belt and this morning(while in court) i had it on airplane mode without GPS, wifi, etc on and it went from 85% battery to 42% batter in less then two hours and was hotter then it gets when i charge it off the wall adapter. i've NEVER gotten that bad of battery life. not even before i rooted it. thats just unacceptable.
plus, i haven't seen the talked-about speed gains in the applications, so it doesn't really provide me with anything new(correction, there is one thing i absolutely LOVE and that is the mass update in the Market. that just rules!)

maybe its the rom youre using. froyo battery life has been pretty much the same with me. try fresh or something!

i suppose i could try that. i'm some what hesitant to move away from OMJ. i've been happy with his last rom, but this....ugh....

you'll probably get a bunch of suggested roms to try, but my vote goes to BakedSnack and his Bkaed1 kernel. Hero tweaks the kernels to give killer battery - I've been raving about it ever since I switched over. I used to have to struggle to get over 13 hours battery - now I get over 20, without setcpu. You should nand and try it. If you don't like it, you can always nand back.

right! forgot he fixed that when he hit version 4 - I stopped using his kernel around 3.7ish when i went with Baked1. Sorry for the mis-info!
I would have to agree with the others. I use Fresh 3.1.0.1 and run Netarchy's 4.0.2 kernel, and my phone has never been faster, smoother, nor have I ever had better battery life as I do now. I took my phone off of the charger at 8:00 AM today, surfed the net, answered a few phone calls, did emails and messages for a total screen on time of about two hours so far. I also did 15 minutes of FM radio, and half hour of streaming Pandora on the way to work, and my battery is at 76% at 2:00 PM.
The other thing you might consider is that, it wouldn't surprise me if in a few months, aps compatible with the evo running 2.1 won't even show up for you in the market any more. I may be wrong, but something to consider.

thats a good point. i hadn't thought of that.
Okay, i'm sticking with 2.2. i have to learn all about Baked Snack and figure out how to properly implement it.
@mikevillarroel i didn't realize netarchy had released a new version! i'm still rocking one of the 3 versions. sweeet!!

Thanks! the part i'm MOST confused about is when i download the latest Baked Snack rom from that thread in development i only get a 318kb file. every other rom i've downloaded has been 125mb +. i don't really know what thats about
If you're talking about 1.2.5, the reason its so small is because its not a Rom. Check my link again. You have to wipe and flash 1.2 first, then 1.2.5 over that without wiping, unless you want the themed version (which I highly recommend) in which case you wipe, flash 1.2, then 1.2 themed without wiping, then 1.2.5 themed without wiping. It sounds like more of a pita than it is, and its worth it in the end.

And just because I gotta say it (I think its a law), that info was mentioned many times in the BS thread.

Edit- looks like hero just posted a new 1.3, so ignore my steps above and just wipe (dont forget dalvic) and install the 1.3 full version.

is there any order that i should follow with a new Rom and kernel? i.e. kernel first then rom or vice versa?
While poking and prodding around I found this one click ex2 lagfix for the I9000 and also the Fascinate.. I tried it and it works for our Continuum's also.
Before Lagfix
Quadrant - 1028
After Lagfix
Quadrant - 1770
Antutu Benchmark - 3140
I did not have a chance to test Antutu before I did the lagfix.
Either way here is the link to the file. Make sure you have root, Sammy USB Drivers, ADB, and the latest version of Busybox installed. Turn on USB Debugging and plug your phone into your computer. Unzip the file and double click on 'Lagfixme.bat'.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK I AM NOT LIABLE!

Is this just the RyanZA's OCLF from market or is this something different? I liked RzaOclf but was really hopin for sum voodoo lagfix since it uses ext4.....and an oc kernal too...

i just want init.d support! lol and voodoo lagfix seems like a better idea as its ext4
Glad it's almost 5:00pm. My phone is totally hosed after running this. Won't boot at all. Hangs for a long time at "Verizon Wireless" bootanimation then goes to black screen. Vibrating incessantly as if it's constantly fc'ing something. I figure I should be able to flash from Odin and start fresh.
Peace,
Ray
EDIT: Flashed pastor's DL17 and I still have nothing. I may have a brick on my hands...
lol, don't you know its almost impossible to brick this phone trust me, one way or another, you will be up and working again
also, copy and pasted from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765822
Okay EXT2 is scary, how about EXT4?
You can't afford for your things to get corrupted? Weirdo. Real world performance between EXT4 and EXT2 is barely noticeable if at all, for the everyman this is probably your best bet.

Is the market working with this? That always seemed to be the issue.
Mine installed just fine first time.. Everything works as it should. It just left me with only 200MB of internal memory.

However I'm not seeing the 2200's that the Fascinate peeps are seeing. Also removing the lagfix got me stuck in a boot loop that I fixed with a nandroid backup. Just an FYI.

the oclf lagfix is ancient history and is almost entirely placebo
the sgs world moved on from it by october of last year, fwiw
yes it will give you awesome benchmarks, but real world performance is extremely minimal at best (yes i say this from experience)
Considering development for this phone is nonexistant I'll take whatever excitement I can get... <3 the trolls..
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
So is there a up to date real world lagfix? Back on dl17 I had great config but was using so many things (oclf,akmo,cachemate,v6supercharger) I cant remember what made the difference....

dont use the super charger scripts its garbage all that is, is a placebo affect the truth is every phone has different memory settings so u cant make a universal one ive seen that done over and over but none of them has ever worked.

lmao nitsuji is very well know... i dont think theres a single troll in these forums with 1500 posts... but he speaks the truth.. quadrant is a horrible benchmark app.. and ROCLF just makes it skip multiple steps making your phone think its preforming better

As for the memory issues, the default for the Continuum is much higher than many of the other phones. I put together a little "How To" specifically for the Continuum. Just be careful, because I have seen issues with background apps, that I want to keep running, closed by Android. You really have to play with the numbers to see what works best for you. If anyone wants help with this, let me know.
Caio!

It's in my OP here: FIXED! - Froyo ROM "closing" the background apps.
Keep in mind YMMV, I would adjust the settings using AMM (Auto Memory Manager) from the market. Because of the aforementioned problems (yes zipalign helped a little bit), and all the friggin' apps I installed and use, I have actually gone back to the default memory settings. I'll start playing with them again starting this weekend. As a System Administrator, I just can't leave well enough alone... My wife doesn't like it when I mess with my phone because I grumble so much when the thing hoses up... It's my fault, I know... But...
I have tried searching for an answer to this question for a while, but haven't been able to find anything for GS2X.
Is there a way to dim these lights? I don't want to turn them off, but I find them a pain on the eyes when watching something in the dark. Also, is there a way to lock them from use when playing games?? My 5 year old daughter gets really pissed when she's trying play fruit ninja and hits the home or return buttons .. lol.
Thanks in advance!!
Its a good question and I have wondered the same but as far as dimming goes, I don't think its possible.

sorry, off topic
can your device run fruit ninja normally and smoothly???
mine cant run it at all, i am so wondering how did u make it?

Runs awesome for me. And as far as dimming goes, that would be something that has
to be baked into the kernel. Can be done though as far as I know.

all apps run smoothly on my phone. running bullet kernal w/ juggernaut and use setcpu to performance whenever i'm gaming. burns through the battery, but hell, what game doesn't on a mobile phone
i do find at times my phone starts to run a little choppy, even with everything jacked up it scores pretty low on quadrant. if that's the case, i just reboot and it's back to running sexy fun time.

thanks for the response. so would this be something i could request in the juggernaut thread? or do they only do the rom and not the kernel? maybe i should just go there and ask them rofl.

so, you guys have rooted and tuned your device?
I think mine can not run some games because I am using original stock rom, right?
Hy guys I have seen on a noob guide that I can see my phone cpu "stats".
This tells me is my phone a powerfull machine or a bad brick.
So I have installed the faux kernel and with root explorer I came to this t3_variant
/sys/kernel/debug/t3_variant
If your cpu_process_id=
"0"- Sorry, but your in for a world of hurt. I'd recommend only trying out his mainline edition, nothing else.
"1"- Well, you''ll do just fine, but it still sorta shaky. Don't think about overclocking though, unless you're on a beta or VF version
"2"- Knock yourself Out! ;p
"3"- Lock that phone in Fort Knox and, if you see faux lurking around your house, then just run . Jokes aside, your phone can do ANYTHING.

This is a quote from a Noob Guide - here.
Mine cpu_process_id=0. Does this mean I bought 4500kn (597.32€ - Yes that's the price of HOX in Croatia) brick?
I have problems with battery he shuts down sometimes more like often, is he really that bad and I am angry right now cause I think I bought bad and expensive phone?!
If you need more info I will be glad to post just someone help me please.
LOL, those cpu variants are to be ignored. They are for hard core overclockers.
It has nothing to do with battery life and you do not own a phone shaped brick. I paid the same amount for my HOX.
Well can you tell me why does he act strange all the time. He just shuts down but he doesn't do that when he is on charger. I think I have some serious power issue. I'will give you all logs you ask and all screenshots just help please.
You might want to try another kernel and do a clean reflash of rom.
Give me the kernel reboot log from /proc/last_kmsg.
No need I think I solved the problem. I have now just moved the governor to interactive witch was default "ondemand". He didn't went off for like 6 hours witch is a record and battery is still 50% can't believe. I know I am noob sry for that
You might wanna try sense roms as well. You wouldnt be facing any random reboots issue.

Overclocking this phone any more than stock is unnecessary and will make it heat up that much more and faster. Hence why there isn't one at all.
The only kernel we have for stock, and it goes to 1.8 is this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38910863
If you read that thread, you'll find that this is as high as we can get. And its an awesome kernel!
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I've always been a fan of OCing, but with quad-core processors, it just isn't neccesary anymore. OCing was originally a viable option because the device wasn't very fast; lags and other issues occurred because the device was trying to do things that the processor had trouble keeping up with. This is no longer the case; everybody has a quad-core device these days, it seems. There is more than enough power and speed to go around now, and OCing just puts unneccesary stress on the device. My penny and a half, for what its worth.

For now at least. Who knows what the future will bring.
Evolutionmod is working on the Sprint version, and Mysteryemotionz is working the ATT version. The 2 are working together to give us all the benefits they can.
If I remember right, it's a heat and stability issue as to why we can't go any higher.
But then as BMP777 said...theres really no need for us to OC anymore. Other than bragging rights.

I totally understand about the heat issue. I hate it when it gets overheated and shuts down for an undetermined amount of time. Is there a remedy for that. I think it would be better if the phone didn't have that glass on the back, but thats just my opinion. I'm thinking about taking it off an replacing it with something else. I saw a thin piece of carbon fiber sheet that might work and look cool as hell.

Well, that was a handy little post. Thanks. I have another idea about the over heating but I need some technical advice from people who really "know" phones. If I remove the back glass and replace it with aluminum, will that aluminum mess-up the reception at all?
