Question about a kernel (cant post in the development forums) - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok Per the "noob video" i called my mom and told her that she wasnt lying to me when she told me i was not special, but I do have a problem with this kernal let me explain
1. Which kernel build(s) (ie; bfs/cfs havs/nohavs etc) are you using with the issue?
2. What Rom are you using?
3. If known, what OTA base is your rom using (ie; is it based on 3.29, 3.30, 3.70, etc)?
4. Does the issue persist if you go back to a stable kernel build?
5. The issue being experienced (obviously ;D)
1. netarchy-toastmod-cfs-havs-nosbc-universal 4.3.1
2. Cyanogen 7
3. unknown
4. cant get back to a stable kernel
5. I am seeing pixilated lines on key pressed and slides. What I mean is when I press an icon or slide my phone or look at my battery charging it will distort a minor annoyance. Also my usb connection is no longer working it will not let me toggle between charge and disk drive

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't netarchy a kernel for a sense rom and not an aosp?
Edit - just double checked, its for a sense based rom only..
If using cm7, I would suggest tiamat or savaged zen..

you cant use that kernel with CM7. flash tiamat 4.0.5 or any other AOSP kernel. NA kernels are for sense ROMS only.
Your mom did tell you correctly because this did not belong in the dev section.

That kernel is for sense not aosp.
Use tiamat or Savaged zen or "God mode"

OH WOW Guess that is why lol. I thought I read it to say it was usable by many roms. So just flash the stock kernel and use one of the ones echarette1, and mattykinsx posted. Thanks you 2 for telling me that i messed that up.
And alaman68 I thought since it was related to that kernel I coul have posted in that kernels thread. Guessed wrong.

It would have been appropriate to post IN the kernel thread but not a new thread.
I'm NOT trying to join the backseat moderatoring wagon, just letting you know.

Oh no trust me I would not have started a brand new thread I would have tacked it on to the thread that contains the kernel and the information. I am not a forums noob and know that much. And I did not take your letting me know as a "better than you" context, but just wanted to tell why I thought posting in that thread would have been better. Nothing mean intended by you or me just helping in how to keep the board clean you were.
Now on to another question. Currently my Evo is giving me a battery life of ~5 hours before I hit ~15% and being in a job where I am constantly using my phone I can not afford to be attached to a charger for 3 hours a day. I was told by a friend that using kernels will help with battery life. If this is the case out of the ones I was told to use what would be better in terms of extending the life of my daily battery, if that is something they can in fact do?

If you're running CM7, use the Tiamat or SavagedZen kernel, hit the link in my signature for some good tips on battery conditioning and links to better battery guides.

Thank you to everyone who helped me figure out what I did wrong and thank you HipKat for that link going to read it now

[Q] Phone junked up after flashing Myn's RLS 5

Don't get me wrong, I love Myn's ROM and this thread is in no way a "lets derail Myn from his glory thread."
For one, my android system is running at 96% and I have absolutely no idea why. I flashed Calkulins new radio pack about 3 weeks ago along with his ROM and had no problems at all. I then switched to MIUI for awhile while I was waiting for RLS 5 to come out and since flashing RLS 5 I have had this problem and can't get rid of it. It doesn't matter what kernel I use, I still have upwards of 90% android system usage of the battery. I would like to figure this out or I may have to switch roms.
Another thing,
For some reason, after I just recently flashed to Myns RLS 5 Pandora sounds like it is playing out of a tin can. I have the higher quality settings turned on and it still sounds like crap, way worse than it did on any previous ROM. I'm wondering how I can fix this?
These problems are really starting to irritate me and I would very much love it if someone would help me out here.
Thanks

I have had the same issue with the android system taking up 90% + or my battery as well and it started after I flashed Myn's RLS5. Here is my post:

I just posted this with pics. Also I went under network usage in spare parts and it seems that "0" is taking up all the usage and dont know why?

i've heard that flashing the entire update (radios, wimax, pri, nv)
causes the uptime on a lot of roms. i think your best bet would be flash the 1.77 PRI in calkulins thread. ive kept 1.77 pri and NV and my phone is just fine running myns RLS5 right now as a matter of fact. good luck hope this helps man.

Im not having any up time issues. My phone sleeps just fine, its the android system that is taking up over 90% + or my batery usage and its made my battery life crap.
Hmm...that's odd...I flashed the rom via Rom Manager, did a few optional updates with it, and the only thing I had to do was flash the 132 radio, my phone great, no FC, nothing.....Hell, I should take this phone into the local sprint store to show them how the SHOULD RUN!
hmmm well this is my solution and it come straight from netarchy in his thread
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719763
and ultimately thats really what it sounds like man, flash a different kernal if you really feel the need to do something besides a PRI downgrade, but i firmly believe that myns RLS5 is just fine.
try downgrading the PRI and NV then post back worse case scenario you have to upgrade again and that takes a whopping 5 minutes

My big thing is that my phone is sleeping just fine. If you look at the second post and click on the link you will see screen shots of my up time and awake time which is like:
up time is like 46 hrs or some **** and awake time is like 6 hrs. So my problem is that the "Android System" is taking up 90% + of my battery use. I generally get a little over a day of lite to moderate use out of my battery but since I flashed rls5 its only been like 7 - 12 hrs(not that I am complaining) but I would just like to figure this out. Also some thing else I noticed was that in the spare parts app under network usage the top selection is "0" and when I click on it it just says "process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly. and please try again?
could this be related to the gingerbread menu upgrade? I have that flashed. Do you or have you ever?

i read your post, have you tried downgrading yet. im almost guaranteeing it will improve battery life the new 1.90 updates dont play well with a lot of roms causing ridiculous battery drain. now regardless if it shows its from the android system/networking problem or not im not knowledgeable enough to answer that, but my android system runs at 19% running myns rls5 and the 1.77 PRI and NV updates just saying..you might really want to consider just TRYING it ya know?

I love the SBC kernels and have read almost every post about them frying batterys. So I ordered a 3500 and am waiting for it to get here and then I will switch kernels. What is the stock kernel that is running with rls5? HTC kernel 15? Thanks for doing the testing. I have 4 kids and got pulled away for awhile. I think I am going to flash the stock kernel for rls5. Do you think I should still downgrade my PRI? I also hit the thanks button. I really appreciate the time you took to figure this out!
Let me just chime in here to shed a little light and knowledge.
Your problem is 3.70 base Rom. It's not a sleep issue. Probably won't be solved by changing kernels. Doesn't look like bad battery life since the phone had not been charged for 42 hours, that's almost 2 days.
If you ask me you have what most ppl are looking to get, which is a full day of use and more. Now correct me if I am wrong but how is going 2 days with out charging a bad thing???
The android system high %'s is a 3.70 issue which has affected a lot of ppl on the forum. The issue has several remedies but the easiest is to just reboot directly after charging the phone. Some ppl have said changing the pri back to 1.77 solved the issue, others have said updating their radio solved the issue.
Please give me a little bit more information so I can research more in depth for you...
Edit: Also let me state the facts here, please don't discredit someone else's work by saying a certain kernel,Rom, theme or recovery will damage a device. The sbc was a variable in ppl batteries being damaged and no one has proven that the kernel has indeed damaged their phone. Only here say...
I don't know if sbc is good or bad as the team I am working with are still in the testing stages with no clear answer, which probably won't come for months.

I honestly love the sbc kernels so I am showing no disrespect to the dev that put these together. My phone also loves the net kernels so Im not going to change at this point. Once you look at my screen shots from my post you will see that my battery only lasted 7 1/2 hours with lite to moderate use. Also there is another screen shot with the awake time and sleep time. One of they other things I noticed was that in the spare parts app under network usage the "thing" that has the highest usage is "0" and when I long press it to see what it is it just force closes. If you see my signature then you know what I am running.
Myn's rls5
all updated radios
nets 4.3.1 sbc more havs kernel
Please let me know if there is any other information you need that will help you dig in. I am off to bed, as I have 4 kids that have endless energy (boy if we could just bottle there energy and sell it as an energy drink...rich!), I will check back in the morning. Thanks for all your help in advance!
There is definately a problem with the rom released 1-7-11.
It will not allow installation of google usb tether program and the file explorer always seems to be working (spinning graphic). I do not think the previous rom had this problem but I can not be sure. Tried other non myn roms w/o problem, retried myn's and reconfirmed that there is a problem.
It seems that he changed a few things and had some sort of side effect.
Somebody should try running ps, ps -aux or top from a bash terminal to see what is really running. A look at the error log would not hurt either.
Interesting that you couldn't install that. I'm not sure why. The spinning I believe you are referring to is where ads would be. Myn added adblock to the role rls5. Most apps with ads (astro,xda, alchemy, etc) will display the loading circle instead. You can remove adblock. Just search the threads.

Have you tried the reboot right after charging? Also I read some where to go into airplane mode and then turn everything back on. Also when all else fail, not sure how you got to myn's but for the sake of safety do a fresh install of it with a wipe on everything. May also want to try caulk's format all zip.
Try the reboot then see, if that fails fresh install and then see.. let me know each time...
The 0 in spare parts in the android OS and it force close on everyone. Don't be alarmed by that.

I had the horrid battery life after upgrading to Myn's latest and the treo update radio pack. Downgrading my PRI didn't fix it. It was the kernel. I was having random browser fc also.
Went back to HTC #17 kernel and all is well. Try swapping just your kernel.

AOsP Kernel Questions

Ok so you can dump this tread if I am wrong but I am very confused about the kernels out there, I am just trying to get a good stable CM 6 phone with everything working and decent battery life. All the kernel's in this forum seem to be either abandoned or not working correctly.
Can anybody help me with a suggestion on what kernel to use?
So far I tired SNAP, and savage but both made my phone reboot after a few min. I also have hardware version 3 so not sure that it makes a difference, I am just confused and was hoping for some direction.

use the stock kernel
Sure that is fine is that the best one overall, I hear everywhere that kernel makes a huge difference in battery life and speed.
If stock it he best then I will stick with that.
+1 stock...
savage 1.6 CFS does good on my phone on cm6 and even better on cm7
getting 24 hrs with moderate usage. might be the gingerbread
I am going to try CM7 becuase I keep getting reboots now with stock cm6 not sure why anybody have any clue why this would be. I downloaded CM6 from rom manager and then flashed with RA recovery after a full wipe and dalvik wipe as well then just the rom, also having a wireless issue where remembered networks are not connecting without a on and off of the wifi all together.
Also what version of CM7 do you use and where did you get it I don't see it on the forums here.

Why, so people can go on downloading a supposed "stable" release only to find out it wasn't so "stable" to begin with?
I LOVE the CM crew and all they do for the scene, but I had a very terrible experience with 7.0.0 on the DINC. First it was jittery video (which I lived with for over a week) and then all my installed apps just suddenly quit working.

A "stable" ROM should never require an end user to try a different kernel.
Anyway, I ended up back on OMGB and couldn't be happier. The only FC I can find is due to installed software (Astro SMB Module).

Just because someone posts something in Q&A doesn't mean they aren't rooted. Your attitude sucks man. My personal opinion would be to reflash and wipe I have been running the latest stable release for as long as its been out and been updating to the latest version asap and have had zero problems other than those cause by user error. Perhaps you did something. Gotta release 9/10 problems are user generated.

Dude you should always try different kernals with roms. You must be new. It is stable I've had zero problems. As stated previously 9/10s of problems are user error and with the ignorance you are displaying I'm gonna say you did something. Just a tip when you wipe you should multiple times becayse 3.X wipes like a dirty person.

Don't let my post count fool you. I've been around since the beginning with the G1. Final, Stable, these words suggest newbie usage. Final builds should come with a final kernel. Unless you're a dev, tester, or need something specific for a certain application then you shouldn't need to kernel hack.

I understand how memory wipes work, so I don't believe the multiple wipe requirement. However, if it is an issue with ClockworkMod 3.x then I do apologize for any nay say here against CM. However, that doesn't really explain why 7.0.2 and 7.0.2.1 came out so soon after 7.0.0, and I wasn't the only one with video troubles in 7.0.0.

Deck vs Vaelpak GB ROMs

I have seen a number of threads comparing and analyzing the different ROMs. I have extensively used two of the leading contenders for "best GB ROM" - Deck's GB ROM (1.2 stable released yesterday) and Vaelpak 0.2.1 (released a few days ago). Here is a list of pros and cons that I noticed - I may have missed some so please jump in and add to the list in this thread. Maybe we can put together a comprehensive list of differences (knowing, of course, that it is always a moving target).
Please note that I ran both ROMs with Tiamat 4.0.5-sbc kernel. Results may be different with different kernels.
Also, by no means am I saying that these are the best ROMs out there. These are just the two that I have extensively used and can therefore compare/contrast first hand.
So here goes ...
Deck's GB ROM v1.2
1. Minimalist and lightweight ROM - default Android Launcher.
2. Minimalist themes, no special wallpapers, fonts, icons, etc.
3. GPS works out of the box (was a problem with earlier versions of the ROM).
4. Wifi, BT and 4G work without issues, except ...
5. Wireless tethering works, but sometimes stops playing well with 4G. i.e. you will be tethered, and even with 4G on you will be getting 3G speeds. This is not consistent behavior - sometimes tethering works great with 4G.
6. I have not experienced any wakelock issues.
7. About 10% more battery life with Tiamat kernal than Vaelpak.
8. ROM is very stable - very few app FCs, practically no reboots.
9. Netflix works.
Vaelpak 0.2.1
1. Comes packaged with Go Launcher.
2. More inbuilt themes, wallpapers, fonts, widgets.
3. GPS, Wifi, BT, 4G and tethering work without any issues.
4. Less stable than Deck's ROM (Note - the developer does explicitly state that this is a work-in-progress, so things should improve on this front). There are some random reboots, wakelock issues.
5. Comes packaged with CPU profiles and undervolting scripts. You can underclock/overclock and undervolt without SetCPU or vipermod scripts. A big plus. (Note - it is possible to do all of this on Deck's ROM, just needs a few additional steps by the user).
6. Comes packaged with DT apps2sd. Again, a big convenience removing the need to do this manually.
7. Packaged email app does not support "Select All". Had to point this out since it is a rather big negative for me. (Note - this is in the dev's list of planned enhancements).
8. No packaged FM radio app.
9. Netflix works.
So in essence, as of today the Deck ROM is more stable and "safer", but Vaelpak has enough packed in features to make it quite formidable.
Default launcher in Decks is ADW (free), I believe.

The default launcher in Decks is Launcher 2.
I tried out Vaelpack preview last week and it was really nice but lacks a few things i enjoy. Deck as striped the rom to the point that you have to install a lot more then desired. Both are great roms hand down. I'm just going to wait for VP to get a more stable beta going and once he adds the theme chooser i might just jump ship
i would have to say deck because he updates his thread alot and always adds new things.
im not 100% on this but when was the last time Vaelek put out a new rom or updates his previous work?

Actually Vaelek's GB ROM (Vaelpak4 v0.2) was released on May 31, and v0.2.1 was released June 20. He is also very active on his forum, and maintains a public list of items/fixes that he is currently working on. Very informative, and will give you a great picture of what is coming soon.
Having not used either, but being familiar with both Dev's ROMs, I can say right now Decks, because it's been out longer and had more testing, etc.
I didn't know Vaelpak was putting a GB ROM together, but I promise you, when he get's it finalized, it will be amazing.
His Senseless ROM was a daily driver for me for a long time. Every detail gets paid attention to in his ROMs.

thats why i haven't seen it. he is no longer posting on xda
VP hands down
many vpgb .2.1 preview (not even beta yet) users like myself, who read and ask for solutions find them simply and as a result find this current version of the preview to be very stable and very quick, plus it looks great. i can't wait til it actually hits the beta stage because right now it is more final than a lot of final roms i've used.

Vaelpak! Any arguments that the developer hasn't updated or anything like that are mostly incorrect. He just hasn't updated anything on XDA, because he's not on XDA anymore. He runs his own site and his own forum, and he's very active there.
Heck, try them both for a few days and see which YOU like best. They're free.
you didn't? any look at his official forum would have told you this some time ago. come on over, get involved. http://www.vaelek.com

I used Deck's for a while and later switched to Vaelpak's. I like Vaelpak's much more because of its features and community. Even though it's in its preview stage, it is VERY stable. The community is so responsive and helpful. Another thing is that Deck finished his ROM, Vaelpak started just like 2 months ago and already has a beast of a ROM.
Just to chime in here...
XDA does have a massive user base yes. But with that, comes a massive idiot base, over-inflated egos, and too many people that can't be bothered to read an OP in its entirety.. I do come back to post here when there is something worth posting about. The users at my forum are MUCH more well mannered and helpful overall. If you want to be told to search, RTFM, stop being a noob, read through 300 pages to find the answer, then XDA is the place to be. The main reason there is no post for my GB preview here is because as of right now there is no public source available and I don't need the XDA police breathing down my neck or editing my posts because of it.
On another note, thanks for the props to those that have been giving them to my preview
VP is the best. Jim you are the best in my book

THIS
Head over to Vaelek's forums if there was doubt in if his work is supported and ongoing. Extremely responsive on his forums, you would be hard pressed to find any lengthy span of days where Vaelek hasn't answered questions or posted fixes to issues brought up in the forums on his site. The guy is machine constantly helping out his user base.
Now for the roms, I actually originally suggested to vaelek using Decks rom as base for his work (but there is no public source). Decks rom is great but the added features and amazing dev support is what keeps me going back to Vaelpak roms.

Problem with IceCream Sense v1.1 - Sense 1.0

Just barely installed this ROM yesterday, and everything's great so far.
The only issue I'm having is that I also flashed the trickle charge kernel on top of the ROM, and now when I open my camera, all I see is a white screen. It will still technically take the picture, but I'm not able to see what I'm taking or focusing on. Not sure if it's a bug in the ROM itself, or specific to the kernel I flashed.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I've searched through Google and these forums, and have yet to find a solution that addresses my problem.
Thanks in advance!

Sbc Kernels only work on aosp roms and froyo. You have to flash a gingerbread kernel
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks for the quick response!
Do you happen to know if there are any Gingerbread kernels currently out that allow for the trickle charging as well?
If not, can you recommend any GB kernels that I could use to flash over the one I put on already to get everything back to working the way it should?
Thanks for your help!
Chopsuey, poonsense, freedom, golden monkey are all gingersense custom kernels none are SBC and some will be UV which is undervolted
Sorry to be a total pain, but you don't happen to have links to where I can download these by chance?
I would greatly appreciate it.
Check development thread they are all posted there I'm on my phone trying to cook and a bunch of other stuff all at once so no llinks right this second but Google the name + xda and they will pop up just loom for the threads starting with [kernel][sense] + name chopsuey or freedom or golden monkey are all on xda poonsense is in kernel manager app
Awesome! Thanks so much for your help!
