Undervolt Kernal?? Would this work for the EVO?

I currently have a hero and my gf just got the EVO and the battery life is pretty rough on it of course like we all know but i just flashed an under-volt kernal and it seems to work very well, is this possible yet for the EVO? Here are the links below about the topic

Kernal for HTC Hero w/undervolt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722073

AFAIK, most of the kernals we already have available undervolt the CPU.

okay, sorry im a noob to the EVO, as of yet i dont own one, i have a very good undestanding how ever thing works with my hero. So like the latest Fresh Rom for the EVO, has undervolt?

Fresh Rom is a ROM, not a kernel. The kernel that comes with Fresh Rom by default is the stock HTC kernel which has no undervolting. You have to flash an alternate kernel after you flash the ROM which will allow undervolting.
There are a few kernels from which to choose from available here.

There are several threads in her in the dev section here with various kernels for the hero. I use Damage Control 3.2.3 ROM and therefore use a kernel from the developers there. However there is another thread (not ROM related per-se) that goes deeper into the different kernels that are available and being worked on. If you prefer another ROM search those threads... Since the release of the complete source code recently several dev's are tweaking the kernels to integrate with their ROM's.
Seek and yee shall find... (If you go to the DamageControl link, Look for info on post #2. You will have to scroll a bit because it's a beast as is the size of the thread.

I think Baked Snack ROM does the most undervolting. He said he has undervolted it so low with stability.
That ROM does wonders to your battery... let me just say that.

[Q] Which root has least Sprint crap, most stable WiMAX, and best battery use??

So far I have tried unrEVOked and AVA-FROYO V10.
unrEVOked is little bit behind on latest kernels and is stuffed with Sprint garbage. It did have great battery life with 4G and WiFi enabled (12 hours for me).
AVA-FROYO V10 was OK, very little Sprint crap... but battery life on it was extremely unpredictable (from 4 hours to 12 with cell standby chewing up most).
Unfortunately the latest radio update messed it up and now I need to reflash everything, so might as well look at other roots.

Do you mean ROM?

WRONG SECTION !
unrEVOked and kernels ? LOL

I am sure they will move it to the right section.
Yeah, you are right, I did mean ROM. Had a massive brain cramp, so I called it a root
Re. unrEVOked, hey, I had to start somewhere

I didn't have the best luck with AVA V10, but V9 has incredible battery life. Here is a link:

Whichever ROM you download, you can open the zip (don't extract), go to system>apps and delete any apks you don't want it to install when you flash it. Of course, make sure you know what apks you are removing first so you don't get problems later and have to end up re-downloading/re-flashing your phone.

unrEVOked is not a ROM, nor a kernel, and has nothing to do with battery life. Other than the superuser app showing up, it should not affect anything at all. It's a rooting process, specifically intended to unlock your NAND (S-Off, visible in the bootloader).
Popular ROM options are Fresh, MIUI, CyanogenMod. Fresh has fully working WiMax. CM is close. Don't know about MIUI, but it's probably not packing working 4G. None of them have any of the Sprint apps by default.
You can bake your own Fresh ROM with whatever you want included. CM doesn't even include the Google Apps by default (you can add them easily), so it's even trimmer.
Once you are fully rooted, and familiar with the nandroid backup process (and Titanium Backup), you can switch between ROMs fairly easily and make your own decisions.
To get started, root and then flash Fresh. Actually, wait a few days (but don't accept the current OTA if you haven't already), and install Fresh once it's been updated. Because it's based on stock with Sense, you can probably flash without clearing your data (DO clear your caches) and get off to a quick start.

Yeah, I am still learning this rooting process. I have very little time available for playing around a bit and no way in hell am I going to use time of my devs in the office. Hence me doing it the lazy way - asking you which ROM is the best for my needs and then flashing and forgetting it.
BTW, thanks for the advice so far. Saving me a lot of time!

MYNs is popular or if you want a stock one, I suggest looking at the ReEngineered Stock ROM that aamikam made. He spent alot of time fixing up the apks so that they are smaller in size and speeds up the ROM.

i would just find a rom that you like and run with it. the rom itself shouldn't make THAT much difference. from what i have seen, its your kernel that really makes the difference in batter-life and performance. Most of the bloat-ware in the majority of these roms can be removed pretty easily.
Myn has some great stuff for ROMS. Ava V10 (if you have bad battery, try a different kernel)
Here are my 3 fav Kernels:
Hero's Laptop Kernel (all i have to say is WOW)
Net's 4.2 or 4.1
King's CFS

ROMs:
Sense: Calk's or Myn's or for a pure stock feel try ReEngineered 3.70.651.1.
AOSP: Cyanogen Mod (No Contest)
Kernels:
I always stick with Stock on all the ROMs I have tried.
Have fun flashing man.

Try Azael X its very fast very little no bloat and stable 4G plus battery life is great he will update to 3.70 soon he's working on it now Rick is very picky about letting his roms out with bugs so he tests and tests before release

Now I am just pondering what are the major advantages of switching out stock kernel on Azreal X v.2.1 to Ziggy?

Rom question

Just a quick question. I've been out of the loop for a while and I'm wondering what is the most stable/ best aosp rom/ kernel combination out there at the moment? Thanks for your help.

There are a few GB ROM's running around, but I don't know that I'd say the majority are.
It all depends on what you want, if you still want to have HTC Sense stuff then Lou's ROM's are great, if you want a Desire-Z based ROM then Myn's Warm 2.2 is pretty good, and then if you want an AOSP (mostly GB now) then you can't go wrong with the CM7 nightlies.
They are lightning fast now with Slayher's .37 kernel he released yesterday.
My suggestion would be to nandroid and flash away, if you don't like it, you can always restore it back to the original!

Sweet. Thanks for the info. I've had CM6 on my phone since the stable release and haven't been active on the forums since then. Appreciate the feedback.

There is a Z version.

Okay, so I have some basic questions re installing themes:
1) How do you install themes?
2) What are ROMs and how are they associated with themes?
3) What are the common issues with installing ROMs/themes?
Any suggestions/answers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

There are thread that explain all this. I think they are titled "read this first, complete guide to flashing custom roms/themes"
On the OP question-Incredibly re-engineered is well worth a look as well as Magnolia. Both Roms have tremendous dev support.

Thanks!

Worth it to flash cm7?

Main concern: I want an extremely stable rom, as close to stock as far as reliability.
That said, should I try out this gingerbread rom? Or is there another froyo rom I should try? I've already tried incrom (too many fc) and SR 3.5 (messed with reception) so I don't want to use those.

Not really. RC2 just dropped and its almost flawless. i would wait till tonight nightly comes out. they said its going to be worth it.
in the mean time i would back up your apps and contacts. make a nandroid and watch the cm7 nightly thread to know when it drops.

If you're looking to play around with something different that is still rock solid stable i'd check out MIUI. It'll keep you entertained, has lots of nice features and has been rock solid for me with invisiblek #28 kernel for months now.

Well, did you flash cm7 yet? ; )

Not yet, I actually went ahead and tried the Z roms because I love sense. Now just looking for a Z rom that is basically stock with sense 2.0

[Q] Need help picking a kernel

Ok so I am new to the droid Incredible and as you can kind of tell I am coming from the HTC Hero by sprint. I looked around but nothing really helped me making a decision so now I am asking you! I am currently running the newest Synergy ROM which is android 2.3.3 and I haven't seen any gingerbread Kernels, just froyo. What kernel would you recommend for battery life because I am used to having atleast 2 days but I was running cm7 but I missed sense way too much lol

Unfortunately there are no options for custom sense GB kernels aside from what the rom comes with.

ok so that's why I could not find any, is there one in the works though?

That'll be a possibility when the official GB version source code is released, which will be after we would receive the OTA.

Kernal help
I too need help picking a Kernal. I am totally new to this Rom thing but luckly was able to root & get SkyRaider 4.2 running on my Droid Inc. on my first go with no trouble.
So what I'm mainly looking for is to get:
1. Better battery life
2. To overclock cpu
(If you have any other tips for me on getting the most out of my phone, they would be MUCH appreciated.)
So I've been thinking of flashing the Incredikernal 2.632. But I know that this new version of SkyRaider was just updated or released not too long ago. Will this effect my decision? Is the Incredikernal I want even compatible with my current SkyRaider rom? Or should I just stick with what I have? Thanks in advance.

I'd recommended trying incredikernel, you're not gonna hurt anything flashing kernels so there's nothing to lose and you very well may see improvements in performance and battery life. Just make sure you get the incredikernel for sense from 12/23. Other options to look into are heyitslou and ziggys.
