I rooted my evo yesterday, so I am still completely new to how things work. (Though I have read the forums for a while)
I know I can flash a custom rom to fix the 28FPS limit I am getting, but I don't have time to completely wipe my phone and rebuild everything again.
It's kind of looking like I just flash a kernel? but I am not sure and I don't want to brick my phone.
Is there a way to just fix the performance limitations (i.e. FPS limit) and keep my stock 2.2 and all my settings/preferences?
Thank you.
I searched but didn't find anything that made sense.
Phone:
Evo w/ stock 2.2 (UnrEVOked3 root)
You should be able to just flash a custom kernel, but I don't know how those work on plain stock. Make sure you nand first.

I have rooted stock 2.2 with Kings kernel #9. Works flawlessly. It's hard for me to go back to regular once the FPS is unlock.

Just flash the zip file from recovery. Make sure you do a nand backup before you start flashing the kernel.
Thanks for the info.
I will give it a try later.
Can I flash any kernel? Or how does that work?
I was looking at snap 8.2. Is it compatible with stock & sense?
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733099)
Also, once a kernel is flashed can you update it without problems or doing a full nandroid restore?
Thanks again,

No. Go for Netarchy's or Kingklick's kernels for 2.2 Sense roms. Snap is only for cm6/AOSP style roms.

I'm using hero 4 on stock odex with no issues and great battery life.
Thank you.
I will read into each kernel.
Any suggestions on which is best/worst?
EDIT: Thought I would post some links to each kernel you listed:
KiNgxKernel
netarchy-toastmod
I couldn't find the link for Hero_over's kernel. The forums search function is down for some reason.
Please correct me if those aren't the correct or official links to the kernels.
with netarchy it says:
An important note for Clockwork mod Recovery users:
Clockwork Mod is reportedly not wiping correctly (ie; if you try to wipe cache/dalvik-cache/data/etc it's not actually doing it, or not doing it right)
You may want to consider using Amon Ra Recovery instead.

not wiping correctly may cause your phone to bootloop no matter the kernel(Fresh's seems to be particularly sensitive to it), you should be ok though. If it happens just keep redoing it till it works.
I'm using netarchy's 4.1.9 cfs ATM and it's working great. Smooth as butter.
king kernel is really good, thats what im on right now. medium use: 500+ texts, wifi on, data on, hour of browsing, 30 mins of music playing, live wallpaper. with all that im hitting ~13 hours and im at 8% right now. king kernel is pretty good, nice and smooth too

Wow! that is double my current battery time with stock and everything turned off to conserve power.
Should I use BFS or CFS?
Can I back it up my kernel so I can reflash it if I ever need to?

im on the latest king kernel which is BFS (the king kernel #9)
as for backing up your kernel...i dont know...(didnt know that was possible). once you unlock fps, you'll never want to go back.
edit: also forgot to add that my screen off is underclocked to max:245 and min:245. so that made a HUGE difference in battery life

There really is no generalization for which is better, BFS or CFS. Every phone is slightly different in build due to margin of error in production. Some people have great results with BFS where others do not. I tried both extensively on Netarchy and much prefer CFS (better performance and battery). Why? I don't know. It just works for me. You will probably have to do some experimenting of your own.
Edit: Also concerning recoveries, I would go ahead and flash Amon_RA's recovery over ClockworkMod just to avoid conflicts. Amon works with everything is very straightforward to use.

Rom Manager won't work with Amon_RA, will it?
I still know very little about root abilities so I would like so stay with something easy like rom manager.
And are Nandroid back ups interchangeable between recovery images?

you can use rom manager to install ra, but then all you'll be able to use rom manager for is to download roms. Which is still ok - some folks prefer it this way, because some things shouldnt be too easy, if you know what I mean. If you let a tool do all the work, what do you do when that tool breaks or is unavailable, and you have to do it manually?
ra can only be used outside of rom manager. Nands cannot be used between ra and clockwork - if you backup with ra, you need to restore with ra, and if you backup with clockwork, you need to restore with clockwork.

I don't mean to be ambiguous, but it really depends who you talk to. Some people swear by RA, and insist that clockwork doesn't wipe properly. Other people can conclusively prove that clockwork does indeed wipe properly, and use that with no issues. Personally, I use clockwork, but do all my flashing and wiping manually and not through rom manager. The only time I ever had any issues was a while ago, with an older version of clockwork.
I also think that clockwork has the benifit of not requiring signed zips, but don't quote me on that.
edit - just wanted to add that some devs will specify one or the other to be specifically used for whatever it is that you'll be flashing. So if they say to use X to flash, you better try using X to flash before asking why you're having issues
idk im new to trying kernals, but im running fresh 2.2 and im only getting 31-33 fps.
using kinklicks bfs 9 kernal
any help?
I have tried most of the kernels listed. For me, the best has been Netarchy's 4.1.9.1 cfs. It is smooth and has not had a single glitch, which I can't say for the others I have tried. The second best I tried was the Baked snack battery kernel #5.
cfs or bfs? What I found was that bfs gave slightly better benchmark scores than cfs, but I had a lot of odd problems or glitches when running bfs kernels (mainly scrolling lag in some apps, and some apps fcing randomly). haven't had any problems with the cfs kernels. Frankly, I haven't found any advantage to bfs because, while it seems to give better benchmark scores, in actual use it seems much slower and more laggy to me than cfs.
Clockwork or AmonRa recovery? I have used both, only had a problem once (boot loop), and that was with clockwork. Since then, I have always used Amonra's recovery to flash with. When flashing just a kernel just wipe cache and Dalvik cache, then flash the kernel. As long as you do not wipe data (reset) you should not lose anything when you flash the kernel.
Oh, and when you do a nand backup, it backs up the kernel you are currently using with it. So you can easily switch back and forth to test by restoring your backups.

Yes, that is more or less correct. It's not always mentioned, but you should also wipe Dalvik when flashing kernels.
As far as a suggestion, what kind of ROM are you running? Keep in mind that Sense ROMs and AOSP kernels may not play nice together, and vice-versa.
For Sense, I personally like Lou's #8, great battery life and smooth as hell performance.
AOSP, I like Savage Zen, what little I've used it.. but it's fairly new and I've been on Sense ROMs recently.

I'm running the stock rom that came with my incredible. Rooted using unrevoked, don't know if that takes me back to 2.1 or not. And how do I wipe Dalvik?
Recommend SwiFTP on device and an ftp client on PC, then no need for USB or mounting drive, etc - it becomes drag & drop.

Nandroid is a full system backup. In Clockwork, go to "Backup and Restore" and click Backup. This creates a folder in /SDCard/Clockworkmod/backup/date-and-time.
To wipe Dalvik, in Clockwork go to "Advanced" and click "Wipe Dalvik Cache." Be warned, the next time you boot after this wipe it is possible for it to take literally several minutes, that is fine and normal, just let it go.
To find your Android version, go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information. You are probably on 2.2 if the phone is new.

Just do the backup in Clockwork. People refer to it as a "Nandroid" because that is what the option was actually called in the older versions of Clockwork. Nowadays it's just called "Backup," but the old name is still used in conversation.

Personally I would go with ziggy's or HeyItsLou's kernels

Hydra kernels haven't been updated in quite some time, and to be honest i'm not even sure where to get them anymore.
But, thats your decision to make, the best kernel is the one that works best with your phone and for you.

Install went well. I noticed right off the bat I lost the little weather animation that shows up on my home screen. I figure if the kernel plans to save me some battery life, those little animations have to go I'm assuming

Nope, it actually came back up all of a sudden after a few minutes, not sure what caused the delay, but the kernel seems to be working smoothly with my phone. I wouldn't be surprised though if I tried out a bunch to see which one I like best, ya know?

I have loaded kernerls in the past... but now im running cm6 stable and i tried a few of chads kernels.. snd my phone boots to the lock screen but i have no touch input? can someone provode a link to some kernerls that should work with cm6.. and btw will the same kernels work with cm7?
thank you
Can't confirm the Nandroid backup enough... always do one before you do anything.

You are using 3.0.0.5, there is a known bug with that version and it not wiping correctly. Upgrade to 3.0.0.8 and wipe and then flash. Your problems will be fixed.
Anytime you have a question like this, please post it in the appropriate forums also, this is the development forum.
if you still cant flash roms after wiping data you could always find the latest RUU (or is ir RRU file and go back to 2.2 stock, then you would just have to run unrevoked to root and install recovery with rom manager
FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL ERASE ALL USER DATA AND BRING YOUR PHONE BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS WHEN YOU FIRST BOOTED
just remember, if anything goes wrong i didn't do it.

Don't go into the market, go into rom manager, go all the way to the bottom to "All ClockWork Recoveries" and pick 3.0.0.8 from there.
Also, use this to wipe everything, including system. Do this once or twice, then flash the rom of your choice.

I've been reading a lot about Rom manager and the opinions are varied.
Is it okay to use for flashing, or better just to use it to download ROMs and get into CWR easier and go manual from there?
How about the backup function?

I use it for backups (because it's easy to give them a custom name), and Fixing Permissions. Anything else I do from CWM after downloading on a computer. Just my style.
I don't have a need for it, I like to do everything in recovery.
I like it for downloading Roms and installing... As stated above, backups are easy to rename or delete... I also use it flash kernals that I have saved in Dropbox... Check for new Roms...
All in all I'm happy with the Rom Manager app

I have had varied results with rom manager. It's great when it works, but really frustrating when it won't. I use it for backups and flashing kernels and themes and such, but I prefer to do roms manually, just because I like to wipe the dalvic cache, something rom manager won't do.

me 5, wish there was a alternative to rom manager
It's a great app, I use it for Backup and to check out random ROM info.
That been said, other than backup, I do everything else in CWM recovery.
Thanks for all the opinions!
So far, I've use it to download a rom, make backups (love that you can give them recognizable names) and to boot into CWM. Is it somehow safer to boot into recovery after shutting down the phone?
Saving back ups are great as others have pointed out, but it is also a great way for a newbie to flashing roms to get comfortable IMO. My first few months of flashing new roms was done all through rom manager.
I used mainly to update roms since they have that list thing, saves me time and effort to manually go on xda and such sites to check if the roms have been updated. Don't see it as anything nooby, just don't feel like scrolling through ads on XDA just to see if the TSMPoolParty rom has been updated or not, when I can just check in the Rom Manager and not have to deal with any ads.
The ads prevent you from coming here? Really?
Well thankfully for me I don't run into ads on any website I go to.
If you are using Firefox you should download Noscript. Probably the best Add-on I use to date. I never look at those annoying ads or pop-ups anymore.
I love ROM manager! It is excellent for making any backup, might I suggest weekly (or more!) backups with this app. It also good for downloading and managing new and current ROMs. Installing a ROM is probably most efficiently done through Clockwork though... unfortunately the ability to wipe certain things can't be done in this app... hopefully those are planned features though, if they're even possible.
I perfer to use CWM instead of rom manager. Just seems more safe to me. I can ensure that i do a full wipe and clear cache. Sometimes Rom Manager may not do it fully and when you flash roms is craps out.
Can someone tell me if there is a difference between turning off the phone and booting into CWM, and using Rom Manager to get there?

Hey guys, I just rooted my phone a few hours ago from the tutorial here on this site for my android 2.3.3 hboot 2.16....well i finally got to root it and got really excited. THe main 2 reasons i rooted were for wifi tethering and terrible battery life. Bought an extended battery before but didnt help much.
Anyway i think i flashed it lol with superuser? ( i backed up files with rom manager and myrombackup) I just downloaded set cpu with the following settings
enabled check notifications check
screen off priority 100 245 max 245 min performance
charging full priority 50 998 max 245 min ondemand
battery<75 priority 50 806 max 245 min ondemand
So my question is, are these good settings? how much better do you think my battery life will be with these settings?
oh and do roms and kernels come in like the same zip file? where i flash them together? and which do you guys think is best for battery life, but similar to the evo stock rom? i dont wanna change my phone too much, i like it, just didnt like the battery life...sorry if this question is redundant, but most of the threads i found were really old so i didnt wanna put in an old rom or kernel if i dont have to.... THANK u guys so much before hand.
If you want to stay stock there are a few roms in the development forum that are stock with bloat removed and minimal mods. You might check some of those out.
One example is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249615
The next step would be a ROM that is ported to the Evo but with a stock look. I am running MikG which I think is one of the best.
A ROM will always come with a kernel that will be flashed with it. You can always flash a different kernel over it later. Freedom is a good kernel (see my sig for a link).

If your looking for a stock rooted ROM with good battery life you might want to try a froyo ROM with an sbc kernel you will get almost 2 times more out of your battery and its the same old sense 1.0 so you won't even notice a difference.

Battery is OK like any gb ROM and bloat is what we call any apps that come from our carrier that you don't want or need on the ROM like stocks ,nova , sprint TV etc..
Edit: you can remove apps "bloat" with any app that will let you like titanium backup I use antek app its free on the market.

If your looking for a stock rooted ROM with good battery life you might want to try a froyo ROM with an sbc kernel you will get almost 2 times more out of your battery and its the same old sense 1.0 so you won't even notice a difference.

Thanks, again im sorry if i sound like such a newbie- but the evo comes with sense 1.0? i thought it was something more updated then that lol- and 2x better is a lot better! but um same question, will these roms just up and stop working one day even if i never update the sprint update? or will i be able to keep it if im happy?

Yeah the evo got stuck with sense 1.0 even with the gb update .
If what ever ROM you flash works for you you can keep it forever if you like you will need to try out a few ROMs they all work different on each evo there are a few different types if evos .
What might work good for me might not for you.

Here is a link to a very nice froyo ROM that runs nice and you can flash an sbc kernel for better battery.

What recovery are you using ?
I recommend amon ra 2.3 if your not already .
If you already backed up your ROM from recovery "nandroid backup" then you don't need to do it again its just in case something goes wrong so you can go back to it.
Yes download the ROM from here and the kernel then wipe everything except your sd card and battery stats "you can wipe your battery stats if your battery is at a 100%" then flash the ROM and then the kernel.
If you get any fc's after first boot fix permissions if that doesn't work go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot that will fix most problems.
Hope that helps you out.

wow, you're super helpful
i actually used the superuser backup- from this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218386
what's the difference between that and amon ra 2.3?
also i did a backup from the recovery and also from rommanager.
and finally, lets say i get the rom you told me about, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471 - (warm twopoint) it says on that thread,
As this ROM now uses the latest official HTC Kernel (#15) you MUST update your Radio/Wimax. I recommend Calkulin's combo update which is available here or via direct download here.
Installation Instructions:
Download Rom and Radio/Wimax updates and place in the root of SDCard.[/B]
umm does the kernel come in the same file as the rom that i download? and where do I get the radio/wimax updates and what do I do with them? do i flash them too and when?
(should I get a separate kernel for better battery life? some people commented that the battery life wasn't great with this rom, so should i use a different kernel?)

Superuser is an app the let you allow root to apps that need it.
You want to make a backup from recovery its called a nandroid backup I think you have clock work mod recovery you might want to switch to amon ra 2.3 you can get the link from my sig.
When you make a backup make sure to backup your wimax keys I think cwm does it on its own in ra2.3 you can pick and choose what you want to backup.
I'm not sure what radios your on but you should be good if you had 2.3 on your phone when you rooted it.
The ROM comes with a kernel but its the stock kernel give me a minute and I'll post a link to the ones that work with it.

For the recovery zip make sure its on the root of your sd not in any folder then boot to your bootloader not recovery you can download an app called quick boot to do that or just turn your phone off then hold down volume and power when it comes to the bootloader it will automatically scan for the update just hit volume up to except it then you can reboot the phone or go to recovery.

You could download ROM Manager from the market and it has the option to flash ra2.3 in the app .

So if I use rom manager I dont have to go to the bootloader screen? or do i have to do both? I already went to rom manager premium, then used alternate flash and now it says current recovery RA recovery v2.3 and latest recovery Clockworkmod 5.0.2.2....
Do i do a nandroid backup after setting up amona RA?

No you don't have to flash it then I just forgot about rm and flashing it that way I don't use rm anymore only to fix permission.
Now when you go to recovery to make a backup go under backup/restore/ nand backup and select what you want to backup leave the ones that are checked then check android secure ,sdext if your sd is partitioned , and wimax I believe thats all I backup .
You don't need to backup recovery or cache .
You should also make a backup of just your wimax keys that way if you lose them in a flash you can restore just that and not have to restore a whole backup.

Thank you so much! I did it both ways anyway lol, I'm currently doing a nandroid backup for everything, then doing it juts for wimax. THen ill copy them to my computer and flash drive just incase.
Ok, so i think i decided, I'm gonna get the [ROM] Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 5 - 01/07/2011] - and for the kernel im gonna flash, 4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-sbc (More Aggressive HAVS) (can u make sure that's the one you have? and does it have at least 12 hours of moderate use? i text a lot, thats about it..)
ok now can you tell me if I have the steps right please?
- I'm going to download the rom Download Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5 (Mirror 1) and paste it onto the root of my sd card.
- Then I'm going to download the kernel 4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-sbc (More Aggressive HAVS)- and paste it to the root of my sd card.
- Then, I use quick boot to go into recovery, then I wipe what I have to wipe/factory reset, then I flash the rom....
- THen I dont have to wipe again, and i just flash the kernel...THen, I can use myrombackup to get all my apps and the information in the apps back...
Should i use set cpu with this rom and kernel? and is thiss correct? lol- I'm really excited btw thank u sooo much---and oh the kernel i have on my phone right now is kernel version- 2.6.35.10...

Use mybackup root to backup apps and data then use it to restore them.
Yes it sounds like you got it wipe everything except your sd card, battery stats and screen rotation I'll post a like to a super wipe I use that you can flash to make sure you wipe everything as well.
Then flash the ROM then the kernel then reboot.
If you get any force closes go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache then under other run fix uid package mismatch or what ever its called that will fix permissions from recovery.
http://www.4shared.com/file/p6mi6ogM/VR_SUPERWIPE.html
Flash this before you flash the ROM it will wipe everything for you do the wipes on your own as well.
After your all done you should download the app battery calibration and calibrate your battery to get more battery life it wipes you battery stats you can do it from recovery but you should just use the app it will tell you what to do.
