Is there a way to get the front camera to work?
My battery is dropping fast, any suggestions?

Use pri/NV 1.77 instead of 1.9.

The front Camera should be working on RLS5. What hardware is your Evo? Maybe try a different kernel or something, but the front cam does work natively in RLS5
As for the battery, as jacoballen stated, I had better luck on pri 1.77 on Myn's rom. There are a million variable that can come into play when battery life is an issue however, and it could be a runaway app, your phone may not like the kernel you're using, it could be the PRI, you could have the 4g wake lock going on if you didn't reboot after shutting 4g off. Just a ton of things that can cause bad battery life. Just gotta rule them all out, one at a time.
Hmmmm. Mine isn't working either. Never looked at it when I flashed.
I was actually about to post about the battery drain myself. Ill try the PRI then go from there.

Thanks for the advice I will try everything because other than that this had been a fun ROM.

Use spare parts app to check partial wake usage. Anything that's more than a little sliver could be draining your battery.

Just an fyi, I just changed my kernel and it fixed my ffc not working.
Also downgraded the pri, we'll see if that helps the battery.

Going from Cm6 to 3.29 ota was a big improvement but after applying 3.3 zip update I kinda been wondering if I didn't see a decrease in battery life. I'm about to flash back to 3.29 to make some more observations.
Anyone have similar observations?

Iam on cm6.1 and honestly I like the aosp but the reception sucks compared to my wife's stock epk. So, my question is how can I update my radio, wimax and whatever else to the newest version without loosing s-off and root? Is there a stock 3.29 or 3.30 rooted rom?

There is a zip in the development evo section made by calkulin which updates your radio, pri, bc, and wimax all in one.

I have noticed this as well. I have an extended battery and is showing maybe 8 hours of battery life. With 3.26 I was able to get a reported over 1 1/2 days on it. I use the phone pretty much for data very few phone calls.
I think I will be doing the same down grading down to 3.29.
ok, thanks for the replies.
Here's a case in point. Full charge at 315pm nows its 515 pm and I'm down to 88%. That's roughly 6% drain per hour. Before the update zip that I flashed I was getting .5% per hour, or 1% per 2 hours, It was nice. In fact when I'm done with this post I will be going back to 3.29.
I should add, for purposes of being thorough, is that I updated astride task to sync my Google tasks about once every 3 hrs. I suppose I should look at that first. But I can't see it making my battery drain that much faster.

Do you mean you were on 3.29, or did you mean what you said....that you were on 3.26?
I ask because of all the roms I have used 3.29 was the best out of stock eclair, 3.26, Cm6, 3.30.

I'm getting MUCH better battery life with 3.30 than I did with 3.29, I no longer have to charge nightly.
Ok so I did a wipe and then a nandroid restore to a backup from just before I applied the damn 3.30 update. I am still having battery issues.
It's so strange that I can excellent battery life then suddenly I get crappy life. Makes me suspicious that sprint is doing something that is causing my phone to have to work harder and therefore use more battery.

Doubt it, 3.30 hasn't been released (officially) for a reason. I'm assuming because if the drain of battery. Also, some reported a better camera but again in 3.29 I was getting better stability, whereas in 3.30 i was getting stutters when moving the camera like I was in 3.26. I think the problem is the kernel, as it has been proven to be older than 3.29's kernel.
3.29 = Kernel #11
3.30 = Kernel #10
Just a thought, I'm no super dev. I hope we get an official update soon. I want sense 2.0 but I doubt we will see that officially until late December or early January. That along with gingerbread.

Are you using an extended battery?
Swyped from my EVO running CyanogenMod 6.1 Nightlies
What did you wipe before you flashed?
Also, it's becoming more and more clear that this ROM takes a while to settle in (weird...I know). I used to get abysmal battery life with RLS 5...and now it's gotten ALMOST as good as RLS 4 was

If you're using the latest PRI, it sucks. Look into downgrading to the 1_77 one

I'm using incredibly re engineered and all of a sudden 3 weeks later, gps randomly stops working. Same happened after using myns warm 2.2. Smh. How do I troubleshoot that?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
When GPS stops, toggle the setting to turn GPS on/off, and/or maybe go to airplane mode then toggle back.
If issue persists, perhaps try a different kernel.
Assume you are using a fairly recent radio (baseband) version of 2.x or higher?
Absent that, perhaps d/l and install Virtuous, the most stable nearly-stock rom available, see if the issue persists.
Better yet, if you still have the backup of your stock setup from when you rooted, flash that and see if it's still wonky.
Thanks for your help! Your suggestion worked. Thanks a million. Ill eventually flash a different kernel. Any suggestions?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
You are welcome, glad it worked for you.
The IncReEngineered thread has differing opinions on the best kernel for that ROM.
I ran that ROM with Lou's #8, worked like a champ - noteworthy in a kernel choice is what you want the device to do: speed, battery life, or a blend of both.
There are faster kernels out there, but Lou's #8 was a nice blend of battery life & stability, in my opinion. Lou doesn't build for scores/speed, rather, for battery life, stability, then speed.

I just started using Anthrax so I can't really speak for it. My go to kernel is the Evo 4g Freedom-v0.9. I would link it... but XDA doesn't trust me yet . You can search the EVO forum or find it in the stickied Detailed ROM Wiki.
I second Freedom.
Freedom v9 is an amazing kernel, i am using the Energy rom, which comes with chopsuey baked in. I recently switched to the anthrax v004 kernel, and my rom is much snappier, and the my battery life almost doubled! my vote is for anthrax!
Im running anthrax with SET CPU set to 245/1036 and screen off profile 245/245 and interactiveX. Been off the charger since 8AM and am at 70% left. considering 10% is wasted when you take it off the charger right away, this isnt too bad...
Anthrax totally!

MikRom thread - Anthrax kernel
This thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038967&page=1613)
will NOT let me reply due to lack of number of posts (very frustrating, but a bit understandable) but I was inquiring about the Anthrax kernel. I'm currently running More Freedom v0.9, and it's slowed down or become sluggish lately. I'm running MikG v2.5.
My two questions are:
will this Anthrax kernel help?
If so, does it also have Bluetooth HID capability? I have a new keyboard and finding a driver for Android is about impossible.
AND, I guess a third. Assuming it helps, how can I get it or where I can download?
Please apprise me if possible!
Thanks!
I think this may have something to do with your h boot. Scope out caulkins thread on radios, wimax, etc. Hope this helps

Thanks. However, I should have noted that this ran pretty well for a while. I've ordered new batteries that are on the way, thinking that the battery might be the culprit. It seems to wane quickly nowadays.
I did not want to leave my phone with the Sprint tech for 1.5 hours to pore through my phone while he did a diagnostics test. I just didn't feel comfortable doing that. He'd assuredly come back and tell me the phone was rooted, blah blah blah, warranty voided, nothing he could do and that's the reason it was sluggish.
After I moved to this it worked really well for about 3-4 months. The last two months it runs out of memory and the battery fades quickly. The only thing I can really point to perhaps is Tweetcaster. Seems to be a big drain on everything and there's no clean exit command for it, unlike other apps, so it runs all the friggin' time if you instantiate it.
As for Anthrax kernels, I've heard some people recommend "test 9".
Do most of you here recommend that as well?
I really need someone to pm me the anthrax kernel.
The test 9 version works amazing on my phone. I'm running mikg*3. 0

Before flashing the anthrax kernel you should wipe dalvik-cache, flash kernel, wipe dalvik-cache again, reboot, let phone sit 10 minutes, and then reboot again. Search xda for the kernel install information to make sure that you are installing it correctly. It's the best for my evo thus far and I have had no problems. It's baked into the shooter E3D rom. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
I am having all kinds of issues with my battery. The device says my battery is in good health and 100% charged but if I'm using my EVo for anything, texting, phone calls, internet, or just moving apps around and I'm not plugged in it dies out when the battery reads around 65-70 percent! Then when i reboot the battery reads 0%! I've tried charging it until it reads 100% and calibrating but that didn't work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly that's a lie, please point to any evidence of this happening. I've used SBC kernels on my phone since I got it and never had an issue.
1. Have you tried a new battery or a different one?
2. Did you try a new kernel?
My guess is battery with the symptoms your describing.

Ever since SBC kernels have come out you have had people on both sides. I've heard of one instance of a problem with SBC but it was said that the battery might have had a crack in it and moisture got in, but we will never know.
