[Q] Kernel that supports new camera? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have a Hardware version 0003, with the new camera, I have it rooted and have tried several custom ROMs and kernals. From what I understand from what I've been told the kernel is responsible for the hardware drivers and overclocking abilitys. I need some help finding a Kernel that supports overclocking and also supports my new camera drivers. I've found that the HTC kernels support the camera but none of them support overclocking!!!! I need some help please!!! Right now I'm running Azrael v2.41 ROM with the included HTC #10 kernel.
Another off topic question, when I try to wipe the Divek cache, nothing happens. Is this normal? When I wipe user data and regular cache, scripts come on my screen and gives me the process.....

if you have hardware 003 you shouldn't have to worry about camera drivers, you still have the older camera.
It's only if you have hardware 004 that you need to worry about your cam
Also, if you use clockworkmod there is a known issue with wiping cache, idk if it's related to dalvic cache but I get the same thing when I wipe it, no scripts. Try Amon Ra recovery for a working dalvic cache cleaner

What new camera? Is it better?

Wrong. I have an 003 with the new camera. My camera will not work with any of the developed kernels....only the 2.6.32.15 #17 kernel. Mine has a late Oct build date. I received it when my launch day EVO was broken by the sprint repair center.
OP, just wait for HTC to release the kernal so the developers can work their magic on it. This kernel is fast enough for everyday use as is.

How do you check build date? my bad, I was under the assumption that only 004 had the new cameras

If the phone came with Build 3.30 then it has the new camera hardware. That is some v3 and all v4.

hboot menu.

to the OP, i have the same hardware version as yours and i'm running netarchy 4.2.1 CFS more agressive. it works quite well. camera works too with no issues, so far.

My build is 3.30.651.2, with the new camera. I've tried net's 4.2.1 more aggr. with no luck. Runs, but when I launch camera, black screen.

I have rev 003 and my camera doesn't play nice with custom kernels either... not a deal breaker but it'd be nice to be able to OC...

Yeah what new camera? Is it any better than the 003 build?
I just got this evo might just get the 004 build and return this one.
Anyone that had both builds notice any difference on battery life?

There likely won't be any custom kernels that support the new camera until HTC releases the source code for the 3.30 update and they still haven't released the source for the 3.29 update so it might be a while

Dooooh!!! Thanks for the clarification though.

Yup, just bought my fiance a Evo and it is hardware 003 but came loaded with the 3.30 software. Haven't even rooted hers yet because I keep hearing of a lot of the new ones bricking...

This is incorrect. The build date is printed on the inside of the battery cover, just above and to the left of the opening for the kick stand. It's printed in black and kind of hard to see. The date on the HBOOT menu, I believe, is when that version was finalized. My Hboot menu says 4/30/2010 while my battery cover says 6/22/2010

The new camera is not any better or worse from what I can tell. As far as I know HTC added another supplier for one reason or another.
Some 003 hardware phones come with the 3.29 software, others with the 3.30. It's the 3.30 series that doesn't play nice with the camera's when flashing custom kernels.
yes, in hboot it shows the build date....or what I am assuming is the build date (don't know what else it could be), mine is Oct 14 2010.

Guess I'll just have to wait fior HTC to release then....

HTC changed the camera in HW version 4, and, unless I've missed something recently, they haven't released the source code for the new kernel. No custom kernels have been able to get the drivers for the new camera, so you're stuck with the official kernel for now.
Try htc #15 that was just released. It should work with all versions now
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
You need HTC 17 or 15 if you have the newer camera hardware. If your not running a 3.70 rom than you should use #17. If you updated to the latest radios than use #15. If you updated to the latest PRI 1.90 then you should be on a 3.70 based rom or you will have problems.
Are there any Kernels with UV/OC that work with the new Camera Hardware? Any Tweaks? Anything?

No. Toastcfh and Shinzul are working on getting the late-003/004 camera working as soon as they finish polishing up WiMax, which hopefully will be just another week or two. Then all you Sense-lovers can kang the CM source to get the driver, seeing as how HTC is retarded and breaking the law by not releasing their kernel source.

Thanks For The Quick Reply! I hate Sense, i am using Azrael 3.0, but ripped out all sense i could without problems and put on LauncherPro. I Can't live without the Camera or i would just run AOSP or CM.

0004 Harware what roms are best

I read somewhere that the 0004 hardware phones have a different camera in them that does not work with some roms. I am looking into rooting soon, possibly today if I can get it to work, if not I will wait for unrevoked's update, I am just wondering what roms work with the camera or at least have a fix.
I really don't need or use sense, but that was when I was on the hero and sense bogged down the phone greatly. I just want a fast performing rom that has themes available and tweaks available.
Thanks for your help!!!
Myn RLS4 works flawlessly
Swyped from Eva running Myn's RLS4 on the Now Network!
It also has a lot of themes añd tweaks in the themes/apps section

It is not the ROM that causes the problem. You can use any Rom you want to but if you want the camera to work you can not use custom kernals. The only ones I know for sure that support the new camera are HYC #15 and #17
15 is actually the newer kernal released with the 3.70 OTA
This applies to later model 003 phones like mine also. It's a real bummer. I'd love to use one of the battery saving kernels, but my camera won't work with any of them. I wish someone would put the mods in the newest #15 kernel...
I say try different kernels and see what works for your Evo. Make sure u do a nand backup first. I personally have an 004 Evo and i have tried various roms and kernels and i havent had an issue yet (besides an occasional reboots) but my camera/camcorder works great....i have used ava v10, myn's 2.2 rsl4 and currently culkins....i have used ziggys, and net's various kernels with no issue either
The ROM's not the problem. I can run any ROM, as long as I replace the kernel with #15 or #17. So far none of the newer modified kernels will work with my camera.

[Q] Best rom? Revolution 2.0.8 vs CM6 vs CM7

As title says..what do you think is the best ROM? and why? I have finally rooted the DHD and I want to try something new
Pls suggests me
thanks in advance for the answers
Can't really comment on Android revolution as I have never used it, don't like sense and hadn't realised there was a no sense option.
Cm 6 is great and the latest release is very stable, but...
Cm 7 brings gingerbread I have had no stability issues, and have been running it since the builds where unofficially compiled from source, current nightly builds are great.
But everyone has different needs / likes, I have been a CM fan since I first installed it on my HTC Magic and it suits me, give Android revolution a go and see what you think you've nothing to lose except your time
yea you can't compare those roms
sense vs. clean 2.2 vs. clean 2.3
depending on what u prefer
some like sense, some like a full stable 2.2, some like to play test person and use 2.3 nightly
I used PNK22 for my day to day rom. For a time had no real problems with it other then no camara yet, this was and still is the only reason i am not using it today..

good
just a question..there's update manager or something like this in the CM7?
I mean, if I install build 18 then build 19 is released how can I upgrade?
download it from thread and flash or use rom manager (the paid version) to get notified and download it on your mobile + update

by simply installing the zip, you dont need to wipe anything as long as only a small amount has changed. Using rom manager or rebooting into recovery and installing zip with that will work.
but, if there is a large change you will need to wipe data etc. Just make sure you dont wipe your sd card
can someone give me a link to the "stable" version of cm7? the development forum is a bit confusing cause there are too many links of CM7 and I can't understand the one you are talking about
h t t p ://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=ace
There is not yet a stable ROM of CM7 for Desire HD.
I'm running Nightly Build #14 smoothly.

i loved CM7, but i also liked the integration with sense so i went with revolution, but i prefer the gingerbread keyboard
I'm currently running Android Revolution 2.0.8 with a few customisations of my own and I love it. That said I can't use a ROM which doesn't have Sense UI.
If I could put up with not having the additions that Sense UI adds to a ROM, I'd probably be using a CM7 nightly.
It's Revolution 2.0.9 now (fast developer ), but I find this best for my needs personally. It's all about individuality, so try each one you like the look of and stick with the one that works best for you.

[Q] changing roms

Hello,
I'm a newbie and I'm running android 2.2, HTC stock kernel WITH mikfroyo V4.4. and I wanna change Roms preferably Evo Zone which runs gingerbread 2.3.3. Do I have to change the kernel and the Rom or just the Rom. Please help. thanks

Each rom has its own kernel so dont fear you do not have to manually change anything yourself. Just update the rom.
Going from 2.2 to 2.3 I would do a clean wipe and not just cache and davlik. Do a search for Caulkins format all which would be very helpful when going from Froyo to Gingerbread. It will give you a clean slate to start with
Please note Caulkins format all is a zip file that wipes all data on your phone. Then you can install any rom you want and usually has less issues. Also you may have GPS issues when going from 2.2 to 2.3. Try and read up on this stuff prior to flashing so you know what your getting yourself into..
^^^^ He is right. Every ROM has a kernal already. Untill you learn more about switching them I wouldn do it yet, you could break or brick something.
Ok, well if I switch my Rom will the kernel change automatically?
Yes, a new kernel is bundled with the ROM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but at this point I don't even think there are any custom kernels to install on 2.3 until the source code is released (if ever)...

Dont take this the wrong way but if you are unsure if a kernel comes with a rom I suggest you do a lot of reading up before flashing. Custom kernels are just that custom and flashed separately. Also certain kernels are for sense and different ones are for AOSP. Please try and understand that first before just flashing away. Asking questions may or may not be the way to go up in here.
I SUggest reading the stickies and threads done by people like toastch, caulkins xhausx and others similar to them. They have experience and a good track record as far as I am concerned

You are correct. There are, however, kernels with a few tweaks if I remember correctly, fixing Wi-Fi and maybe another issue (4G I think, not sure)

delete thread please.

edit: nvm delete thread.
JellyBean isn't fully stable on our DHD/I4G just yet. There are always going to be some issues because HTC didn't give us a full 3.0 kernel for ICS. That could be the reason you are experiencing some lag. Kernels could also help you, try the KangBang performance kernel, although the kernel is leaning towards performance, so it could cause instability
I bought the xda app. Problem?
...
I can't link to the kernel (cause I'm lazy and on the xda app). But when you install a kernel wipe your cache and Dalvik Cache and then flash. That's the proper way of flashing a kernel

Hey thanks for the reply, yeah i successfully installed the stable and performance kernel from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931386
But the gaming performance still lags compared to 2.3.5. I guess its due to not being fully stable yet.
I had an idea, what if i flash the stock 2.3.5 kernel? Would i get stock performance back or not?

You'll ruin your phone. A 2.3.X kernel I'd meant for that specific version of Android. If you mix versions (e.g. a Gingerbread kernel with a Jelly Bean ROM) you'll most likely get bootloops and your phone. At worst you'll brick your phone. Don't ever mix kernel versions. Also don't flash a Sense kernel on a AOSP/AOKP/CyanogenMod based ROM (or vice versa), you'll also have a phone that won't boot.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yeah I was guessing it had something to do with the kernel. I tried a kernel yesterday not sure which one it was from memory, but when I put the kernel zip onto the phone and installed it through recovery it said install complete. But when I rebooted the phone it gets stuck on a black screen. I can't do anything else unless I take the battery out. I was wondering if anyone can give me a link to the kangbang kernel and instructions in how to install properly if the recovery mode isn't the right way, even though it said kernel updated successfuly. Thanks!

The only compatible alternative kernel for JB is the KangBang (at least that i know of). If you flashed another one, that might be why it booted to a black screen.
