faster - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

this is from a stock rotted evo, i would like to know is it possible to go faster with less lag? my friend has a galaxy s from tmobile and his overclocks at 2100 no bull****
the first one is mine the second is a friend of mine

Root it, flash a custom kernel like netarchys and OC it..

I'm calling BS on overclocking to 2100mhz... I have serious doubts that the hummingbird processor can handle a 110% OC

Its called Cyanogen Mod. Add the snap 7.6 turbo kernel. I was getting closer to 3000 on quadrant on it. Best was 2910. Its a beast. I just love sense too much, soooo much prettier and more functional. Go enjoy some CNMOD

When u get those are there things that don't work like WiFi or 4g or something

With CM6 4G isnt working but wifi works fine. With most the roms now everything works. If something doesnt work its it will be in the OP of that rom thread.
Also I read over at the CM forum what they are doing with the Epic is a some sorta lag switch turn off. Its has nothing to do with over clocking the phone yet. I have seen those numbers before with the Epic.

[Q] Best slide [ROM].

Hey everyone. My wife decided her mytouch slide is a little too laggy for her. I have rooted and flashed HTC phones and my vibrant with great success. I am going to do her phone this weekend but I need some help please. I do NOT follow this forum at all so I have no idea what [ROM]s are stable and functioning for everyone else. If I could please get some input from you guys that have been here and have tested these out it would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance

Good luck!
The dopio oc kernels are also very stable esp at 768 and 806. Just use set cpu app to maximize battery life.
The cm nightlies are also usually very stable.
The slide reloaded rom is also a sweet themed version of cr's full ota rom.

Yeah, for my uses, Cyan with the dopio kernel is the way to go 100%. But you never know, once you get the ENG flashed, let your wife play with all the ROMs she can handle until she finds one she likes. ROM Manager makes it ridiculously easy.
What about the galaxy slide rom by infinitybiff? Anyone tried that? I don't use touch wiz on my vibrant but the wife might like it. Still leaning towards cyan. Just need something fast and stable for her. I'm gonna have to theme it for her myself cause there is no one doing that.

Yes, just make sure you back up first, in case you want to switch back.
cyanogenmod or crmod
I just flashed Galaxy Slide Beta the other day after using CR for the longest time. its the first ROM that i have flashed (and there have been many) that i didn't immediately flash straight back to CR. i am having a minor trouble with the color scheme in the notification pull down and i haven't tried all the features yet... (i.e. bluetooth, tethering, and maybe one or two more) but all in all i love it!

The dopio kernel is integrated into cyanogenmod 6.1+, no need to flash it over again, but other roms you will have to flash it.

Cyanogenmod is froyo, and based off of the AOSP source, so it has a more vanilla flavor to it. CR_Mod is just the rooted stock OTA ROM with a wifi tether, and a2ext built in. CR_Mod is also eclair, it just all depends on what you like better, the latest vanilla customizable stuff, or the more stock HTC sense feel, with all of the t-mobile stuff.

If my phone seems alright to me, is it worth flashing a new kernel?

I dont have any complaints with my phone. Im running htc kernel #17 and myn's warm2.2
The phone is great to me as it sits, so is there any other features that should sway me to flashing a new kernel?
also whats the difference between HAVs and non-HAVs? Whats sbc? Dont tell me to search because I did and well didnt get much, only on BFS and CFS
Imo, if you like your kernel don't change it. When I find a good kernel I stick with it . Just my 2 cents

Thats kinda what I was thinking.. but I dont know whats out there ya know? Is there really something better out there for battery and speed versus the HTC #17? I seen alot of myn's running the stock kernel. So that could be they are happy with it, or maybe they haven't flashed anything over it yet.
Surely with all the knowledge out here, there has to be a kernel that still utilizes great battery with more speed.
Heat does effect these phones right? Like life span of the CPU, battery etc.

Hopefully this leads to a 2.3 root solution.
Working fine so far. Maxed it out and ran stress test for about five minutes and all is well. Any chance of getting the other schedulers and scaling types in the future? Just want the best performance and best screen off battery savings. Great work though. I was hoping a dev work run with the source for sense once it was out(sort of apperently)

No, you will have to wait for a kernel dev to tackle it, or do it yourself. I am not a kernel dev, and this was more or less a test to see if we could get it compiling (since it was missing files from source).
Hmmm....whenever i finally get my inc2 rooted, if ever, im gonna hopefully use this.

got a hard lock simply typing a text message on google voice. maybe my DINC2 can't handle 1.6 ghz.
Thought i was alone with rhe lock up. Had to go back to stock kernel until i better understand how work with overclocking.
Edit: reinstalled this kernel. This time i also installed Setcpu. All it well and right once again. It appears as though my dev doesn't like running at 1650 but is happy at about 1350. Will see how it goes. May tweak it more.
Don;t clock to 1.6ghz then
Does this disable perflock? I have no clue about sense kernels I'm just wondering if I can use things like Juicedefender to regulate clock speeds without having to rely on SetCPU unlock it on every boot.
Installed this and no my wifi doesn't work I will keep playing with it, but it will not let me connect to my wep network.

[Q] New Epic User w/ a few questions...

Hey guys I got my hands on a Epic 4G from a friend for doing some computer work and I have a Evo 4G as well. I really like the Epic 4G but it is so much different in terms of rooting and flashing, I have my phone rooted with the latest version of Gingerbread and with ACS Recovery based on CWM5. I am planning on running CM7 but I am looking for the best kernel to use and the best way to install them.
Also are there any scripts that are similar to Dark Tremors Apps 2 SD? Thanks for you time!

What are some good kernels to try that have good performance and wireless n capabilities?
Honestly if ur gonna run cm7 with the stoc kernal I would try that for the time being or follow the nightlies. But a couple of other ppl have kernals for cm7 but try stock first then go from there. I'm on nightly 15 and haven't found ay probs with it yet

Everything good is in the top 10 in Development. You can't ask what is the best because each phone reacts differently to the kernels. Also move to CWM 5.027 since it is officially supported for our phone now. Once you move to CM7 you will be on MTD and either stick with MTD ROMs or Odin back and repartition your phone to try BML ROMs. Read through the development ROMs and kernels to follow the bugs and fixes some users experience.

So I am un and running on CM7 with no problems but by wireless speeds are horrible, the link speed are wireless b speeds (19-30Mbps) will this kernel solve this problem? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342047 I thought this phone was b/g/n like the Evo.

I ran an evo for a week. It was interesting.
There is less going on with the epic as far as rom choices, but what we lack in quantity we make up for in quality. CM7 is very good and stable. With it you don't really need apps2sd because there is a bunch of space available. As far as a good kernel, stock is fine, but I have been using KernelSanders. It's stable, can overclock, and great battery life. I'd check it out

You can overclock and undervolt with tegrak. I don't do too much overclocking as it is kind of pointless with the chip we have. But I use tegrak to under volt.
oh... well thanx for the replies.. i guess ill wait till the codes come out.. i was using teragat when i had GB..
seems like overclocking would make sence wih ics considering its being released on higher powered phones. just seemed like if i overclocked at 1.4ghz and chose a handy set of tweeks for one of the devs, then any and all lags and microsec freezes would go away...

I overclocked my ICS to 1.4GHz. That is the highest it will go without having to start bumping up the voltage. The highest I got it to was 1.8GHz with voltage increases. Anything higher than 1.4 requires me to over volt the phone and thus eats battery fast. I settled on 1.4 and a good trade off for speed and battery life. If I plan on being out away from a charger I can use Teragat to under clock my phone to get maximum battery life.
