[Q] FPS Fix for Stock 2.2?

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.

[Q] hi my names nick im new to xda developers

hi my names nick Im new to xda developers i was wondering what is the best rom for the incredible and wats the best way to flash it btw i have clockworkrecovery mod 3.005 is that a good recovery im running stock sence rom good rom but can be laggy and i have a 3500wah battery wat is the best rom i have rooted using unrevoked 3.21

The best way to find out is to try out diff roms and kernels, these processors all have a mind of its own so diff roms and kernels may be better for your phone versus the next guy/girl. Out of all the roms ive tried, incredibly re-engineered has been my fave. Great batt life. Stable and fast plus many theming options.

You can run a different kernel while using the stock rooted ROM. And I believe Re-Engineered is an Incredible/Evo hybrid; not sure though, so don't quote me on that lol. I actually just checked, it is. You can read about its features and such here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893233
EDIT: I'm not sure if that ROM is compatible with ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 yet, so I would recommend downgrading to the previous official release of CWM, 2.5.1.2. You can do this through ROM Manager, scroll all the way to the bottom and it'll say "All ClockworkMod Recoveries," click on it and choose 2.5.1.2 and you should be golden.

When you downgrade to 2.5.1.2 should you do a nandroid backup first? I'm really looking forward to running Incredibly Re-engineered and I have read that you have to run CWM 2.5.1.2 which I understand is the OLDEST version, is that correct?

It isn't the oldest, but if the ROM developer hasn't updated their scripts for the new CWM version 3, then flashing 2.5.1.2 is a good idea. No, you shouldn't have to do a nandroid. Just flash the 2.5.1.2 recovery in ROM Manager.

When I do a titanium backup, should I only do App's? Or should I do data and app's? Some ROM's say do just APP's and not data, so which should I do for Incredibly Re-Engineered? I can't post on the Incredibly Re-Engineered page directly so this is my way of doing it I guess =/

Just do Apps. When restoring the Apps, just restore the App only. Sometimes when you try to restore the App + Data, it can cause issues. That happens more times than not, so your best bet is just the App. You can always try to restore both, but if you start seeing weird issues with it, uninstall the App and restore just the App, without Data.

I assume when I flash a new Rom I will have to redownload Titan backup and there will he a restore app option correct? This is my first time flashing a Rom so I don't wanna mess up haha. Is it easier to flash a Rom/full wipe method other than Rom manager? I almost feel more comfortable doing it manually or can I trust that Rom manager Wont mess anything up?

You might have to redownload Titanium backup, depends if the ROM chef baked it in or not. But either way, there is a restore apps option. I always choose "Restore missing apps with data." I heard restoring system apps with data could give you a nice headache with fc's and stuff, so I'd recommend just backing up user apps. And I heard a few months ago that ROM Manager wasn't getting the job done for flashing/wiping stuff correctly, so since then I've never really used it and got accustomed to manually doing the wipe/flash through CWM. I just like knowing that I wiped it and knowing it was done right by myself. I haven't heard much about the ROM Manager thing anymore, so they might've fixed it, but I'm not sure.
Sorry for the delayed response :/.

[Q] new rom/kernel

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Q] I'm Novice and need some help with BeastMOD 4.0

Hello Everyone,
I'm novice and received my SGSII last week. I was able to rooted with odin method. After reading review on this forum, i want to update my ROM to BeastMod 4.0 and kernel to Faux .006 but bit worried about the method.
Can someone who has above combination flash on their T-mobile SGSII phone can help me to correct steps.
My main concerns are:
1. When i flash BeastMod 4.0 ROM will it also flash synergy kernel? If yes, then how can i reflash only kernel because i want to use Faux .006 kernel.
2. If i do step#1, hoping it will wipe out all the default T-mobile factory apps, what is the best way to save all the apps and needed informations.
It might sound stupid questions but I wanted to be on safer side and dont want to crew my phone.
Thanks in advance.

Use titanium backup to backup apps+data. You can YouTube a tutorial or read around the forums here for a guide. Then boot into cwm and do a nandroid backup. Then you're ready to flash.
1. Wipe data, cache
2. Flash the ROM
3. Flash the kernel you want
4. Wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions
5. Reboot, let it sit for 10 mins
6. Reboot.
7. restore data+apps from titanium
There are better guides out there, this is more of a quick overview.

I always do the boot routine before flashing a new kernel. I think I remember reading that somewhere and ive done it ever since. Also when wiping in clockwork mod I like to format system to ensure a 100% clean flash. You could private message me if you have any questions!

I would recommend becoming very familiar with booting into cwm by the 3 button combo. This could be really important not bashing rom manager but I used to use it and when running into problems with my vibrant I found the. Button combo to boot recovery was a much better way and u also control everything u do that way ... just a heads up

I take a slightly "cleaner" approach to wiping, but similar. One thing that's missing is the "system" partition from your steps. Which is under the "Mounts and Storage" option.
I recommend wiping the "/system", "/cache" and "/data" partitions in there. (I always do each twice, to ensure full wipage)

I recommend you purchase one, but you are able to backup to your internal SD.
Not really a true "backup", but it'll work.
Just hit "backup" and it'll tell you where it's going.

Thanks and I'm familiar with this steps as i spent lot time in reading, just to get familiar before i do anything.
I thought flashing rom will wipe out everything installed on the phone currently? If that is true then how TI will able to restore data+apps.?

Before you wipe everything you use titanium to backup all your apps and data. it stores it all on your internal storage (by default I believe). After you flash the ROM, you use titanium which will auto detect the backup and allow you to restore everything.
Edit: the wipe doesn't delete the internal storage. At least when I wipe it doesn't. I'm still a noob at this stuff too

Correct.
Just be sure to backup and it doesn't matter if you screw something up or not (and by backup I mean a backup in CWM as well as Titanium) I don't even bother with Titanium.

You think BeastMod with Synergy Kernel and Juggernaut with fauxs new kernel are good combination?
On Juggernaut development thread people complaint many issue compare to BeastMod, offcourse its also new compare to Juggernaut. But i really like fauxs new kernel and dying to flash on my phone.
I haven't seen any incompatibility between BeastMod + Fauxz new kernel combination and its working flawless unless you have discovered or someone found some issue.

I'm also using beastmod 4 with faux's latest kernel (.006 r2), no problems so far

I don't see much issues being reported on Juggernaut...Been using it until CM7 Alpha came out and i never had any issues with that ROM.

BeastMOD II 4.0 with Faux123 006 r2 kernel give me superior battery and performance. I tried Juggernaut 3.7 with Bullet kernel but battery life seem to be shorter.

Installing multiple kernels?

I currently have Faux123's flo jb 4.3 kernel installed. I want to install ElementalX onto my device. Will I have to uninstall Faux's kernel to get Elemental, or does it not matter?
If I have to uninstall Faux, how would I go about doing that?

I am not 100% familiar with the Nexus 7 yet, whereas with my SIII and HTC Desire. Normally every phone support only 1 kernel and once you flash a different one it will basically overwrite the old kernel.

Ok cool. I guess ill just do a quick backup and then flash the new kernel. One more question; Does it matter where you download the .zip kernel in the first place? Or does it always have to be flashed in /sdcard

As I mentioned, I do not have 100% knowledge yet on the Nexus device, hence I am reluctant to give you any advice that might brick your tablet. Maybe someone that did it already could answer your question more precise. I guess there should be also some guide in the kernel thread or not?

Download Kernel, use root explorer to browse to SD card/downloads, long press the .zip file you downloaded, select move from popup window, near top left select parent folder this should be the root of SD card, from top right side of window select move here. .zip will now show here. Boot into twrp select wipe, select advanced wipe
Important Wipe cache and dalvik cache ONLY. Wipe only cache and dalvik cache. Wipe only cache and dalvik cache. Important
Click back button after wipe to get back to install button select install, browse down to .zip file you downloaded. Install it. the kernel your talking about has an aroma installer so there will be many selectible options. Select what you want as options. Wipe cache and dalvik cache again once aroma installer is complete. Press reboot. Done
