Hey im new to this I flashed the dark cocoa rom to my evo and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good kernel to flash for dark cocoa III. Also any suggestions for blacked out themes for this rom. Thank you
When I ran sense I was always with netarchys kernels so that's what I would suggest.
Thread moved to Q&A.
I run netarchy toastmod 4.3.4 cfs havs more sbs with the Cocoa III and it works great. I also downgraded my NV and PRI to 1.77 to gain better battery life and I have diffently seen a difference.
Always give the default kernel a couple of days to settle in. Oftentimes, you will find that it is sufficient for your needs. Now, my particular device seem to perform best using certain Netarchy kernels. The one in my signature is my kernel of choice....at the moment...lol.

With the new OTA kernel being tweaked and incorporated into new ROMs, it's getting hard to know which dev kernels are still current and which might be deprecated. Can anybody with more knowledge than I make a few notes comparing the more common options? I'm thinking specifically:
-The stock OTA kernel that just came out this week
-King's kernels (including - why are there two?)
-Baked Kernel #6 (included with BakedSnack 1.7)
-Netarchy-toastmod
It would be helpful to reference build numbers so this thread still makes sense when King's goes up to #9, for instance (it's currently at #8 on both versions). The highlights I'm wondering about are battery life, FPS, and any huge pluses/minuses one kernel offers over others.
And, yes, I'm selfishly looking for some direction. Flashing Baked Snack 1.7 right now, so I'll know how that kernel works, but I'm hoping to get educated in case there's a better option for me. Still looking out for the noobs who don't know a HAVS from a BFS.
I recently as in today flashed vael's 3.0 remastered rom and was curios to know what kernels guys have been using with this rom. I know vael packaged with SBC For Netarchy 4.1.9.1 CFS No-HAVS kernel for unmatched battery life. any help would be appreciated.
I have been using netarchy's 4.3 cfs no havs, no uv, and no sbc. I think you should definitely flash something without sbc. If you don't have VP settings, grab it from the market and it can get you headed in the right direction.
vp settings
Vaelpak included the settings in his latest version of the rom i think he called it VP 3.0 remastered. And in the settings is a screen in which there are a bunch of different kernels to flash. I know some people have had trouble with the SBC but not all. So my question is why should everyone stay away from the SBC?
I am looking for a rom and kernel that will be close to stock or sense and allow me to overclock, but not make me lose 4G or HDMI. If you have suggestions please let me know.
FYI, I rooted with unrevoked and I tried the recent OTA update but it keeps failing to install. I wanted the new version of Swype and the Blockbuster app. Any ideas there too?

Sprint Lover's is quite stock. For overclocking, use one of Netarchy's 4.3.1 kernels (some or all of the 4.3.2 betas have problems turning 4G off for me).

I use joykrim newest update with what you want just no overclock.

Are you looking for something similar to stock to avoid going through a learning curve? If so, Myn's RLS5 isn't too bad. It's a great ROM and doesn't put you through a big learning curve.
As for kernels, do you have a 0004 Evo? To check, go to Menu -> Settings -> About phone -> Hardware information. I use one of Netarchy's 4.3 CFS kernels with more HAVS and SBC.
I'm pretty pleased with what my phone is currently running. It's info is in my sig. If you decide to try it out and need some help feel free to shoot me a PM.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, don't use a HAVS kernel if you're looking to overclock.
Thanks
I appreciate the input. I flashed Sprint Lovers and Netarchy 4.3.1 kernel. All seems well so far. The reason I want to stay stock is because I keep hearing horror stories about radio, Wi-Max, Bluetooth, and other issues with some roms.
I have a 0002 EVO. Is there a difference in what you should install.
First off, you should never run an OTA update unless you plan on rerunning the root process again. Most current ROMs you flash will already have all the OTA fixes in it.
HW versions of the phone only affect the rooting process. If you're using unrevoked to root they you don't really need to worry about your HW version. Flashing ROMs and Kernels is the same process for all HW versions.
I have tried a handfull of ROMs and Kernels out there. The only one that has a drastically different feel in MIUI. All others are pretty much alike and shouldn't be that hard to figure out. In order to have 4G and HDMI working you will need to run a Sense based ROM. I am running the EVO Nonsense 4.3.1 ROM with a Netarchy 4.3.2 Kernel and this has been a very solid/stable combo for me.

HW Version 003 here
Had my phone unplugged all day (well, 17 hours worth and still had about 75% battery left).
This is what I'm running right now.
Rom:
RUU Supersonic 3.70.651.1 deoxed (completely stock + rooted)

NV:
EVO_NV_1.77_003 (was having that "android system Up vs. Awake time" problem so i downgraded the NV in hopes that it would help, and it did astoundingly)
PRL:60675 (which may or may not have to do with the amazing battery life ive been getting recently, I don't know to be honest)
Hope this helps. Ive somehow managed to get a better battery life on this than I had with Myn's or Fresh's, so I figured I'd spread on my little secret.
P.S. The RUU rom has swype and blockbuster in it too, otherwise good hunting.
I was considering cm7. Is it true that 4g has been fixed? Does anyone know if hdmi works on cm7?

Currently using setup in my sig. Mikfroyo and myns are the 2 big sense roms.
I found overclocking to have little benefit in performance and using setcpu w/overclocking seemed to give me stock like battery life.
For me battery life is greater than overclocking. Going all day with steady usage and still having 50% or more battery life is soo nice

The 4G has been fixed. Working in nightly 6+. Also, it may be working, but you can test it for yourself.
Hi, I`m trying to find out which is the best kernel to overclock my stock htc evo sense. I still want the camera & everything else to woek. I was looking at using x99kernel-sense-20110411.zip or netarchy-toastmod, Stable: 4.3.1 Beta: 4.3.4 but I dont know which netarchy on to choose & which one is better out of these 2? or this one netarchy-toastmod-4.3.4-cfs-havs-less-nosbc-universal-signed.zip. Or is there a better kernel. thanx
Start with Netarchy 4.3.2-noHAVS-noSBC-noUV. Everything works with this kernel, however, overclock incrementally to test stability. I'm not a fan of overclocking the EVO. I look for a kernel that gives me the best speed & stability as-is.

I am unable to get mp4 videos to play. Sound plays but screen just shows white. Both streaming and native files are effected. I flashed netarchy/toastmod 4.3.4 cfs havs more sbc universal kernel. I think but am not 100 % sure the videos played prior to the kernel flash. Is there a way to fix this? If not, can I extract the original kernel from the rom and reflash it? Thank you in advance for your assistance and patience with a noob.
You are using a froyo kernel with a gb rom videos will not work, you are going to have to flash a gingersense kernel to get your video back, chopsuey, golden monkey, freedom and poonsense are the ones I can think of off top of my head, there are no sbc kernels for ginger sense.

Thanks Evil for the super quick response. Downloaded all 3 suggestions and obviously took care of my issue.
Np LOL. I flashed a wrong kernel without realizing it once I selected the wrong zip on accident and had the same issues
