Just flashed Decks 1.2 ROM along with Tiamat 2.1.5 kernel. for some reason when I connect the USB cord it only charges and will not allow me to use USB storage. Any ideas as to why not? It worked with CM7 and Warm 2.2 so there shouldn't be a reason for it not to work now.
Download the kernel manager app and try the godmode kernel it should work. If not try the savaged-zen cfs kernel and if it works but you don't like the idea of having SBC send me a pm and ill give you a link to a flashable zip that disables it

Thanks for the info. It's going to have to wait until I home later tonight though. Apparently I can only download apps over wi-fi and not 3G. I'm hoping it's just a kernel issue because I'm loving this ROM.
Just flashed the Savaged-Zen kernel and now its working like a charm. You sir are a genius.
No problem like i said tell me if you don't want the SBC in the kernel because some people aren't comfortable using it thinking it will toast their battery...

Brief description of SBC please? I don't know all that much about kernels. All I know is that it's supposed to help my battery life. It's been off the charger for 15 hours now and only down to 65% with me texting all day so I would say it's doing its job.
sbc will help you a lot with battery life it increases the batt life.
I use sbc with no problem. But 8 people have reported tht their battery has been fryed becuz of sbc (they have no proof but their word)
by the way decks rom with sz kernel sbc with viperboys scripts is amazin batt life
Ok thats another new one. What exactly are scripts? Forgive me for all the questions, I know how to root and flash ROMs but I never really got around to the nitty gritty until just recently.
Just google "kernel starter guide xda" that decribes everything you need to know (i also think its stickied in the development forum). And a script long story short is a line of code that when entered into the terminal emulator app will change how you phone does a certain thing(depends what that line was meant to do such as undervolting to save battery)

I'll go check that out, thanks. Still having a problem downloading apps from the market over 3G though. I can download all day long over wi-fi with no problems so I dont get it. When I click install the download progress bar comes up and the icon appears in my notification bar but when it's done the app isn't installed.
Nevermind, I found the fix. Installed S2E and everything is all better.

Ok,I'm new to Android, fresh out of Windows Mobile and might not know what I'm talking about, so... here we go,
I'm looking for my dream ROM, and kernel combination
Is there a ROM out there that has:
Delicious Froyo
4G Enabled
Can use Bluetooth controllers - (Wiimote, MSI BGP 100) [I guess that means it'd have to be Senseless?]
Retains its HDMI out functionality
Uncapped FPS
Over 2 multi touch points
Stability - Doesn't crash often
Decent Battery Life - (More than 5 Hours)
Swype Keyboard
802.11N Wireless Support Enabled
Overclocking support would be nice, but probably not necessary
I'm currently running Fresh Rom, but its starting to seriously lag after a few weeks of use, I guess its because of all the apps and widget mods I installed. And stupid Sense keeps starting up when I start my phone, even though launcher pro is my default home.
So I'm ready to flash another rom to have a clean start, now that I kinda know what I want.
There isn't a ROM with all of that
Looks to me like most (if not all) of the things you want to do can be done on Fresh. If it's lagging, wipe the caches using Amon and see if that speeds things up. I ran Fresh for a long while with no issues. For the past 3 days, I've been trying out the latest Baked Snack rom, and it's very good, too. The only thing I'm not sure about is the multi-touch feature because I haven't come across the need for it yet. I recommend you do the same thing I'm doing and everyone else does: Download them, flash them, keep them for a few days, and then try another rom. You'll be able to eliminate the ones you don't care for and then narrow down your choices. Do a search for multi-touch and see which roms have fixes for it, and try those out first.
or at least ava froyo v7, thats got everything working for me and use a kingsxkernel
I believe most of those are functional on most of the ROMs now. As far as swype keyboard, I think calkulins ROM (evio2) has that natively, or there's a new ROM someone else was working on that I think had swype listed, it was called echo5 ROM, I think. It's not on the first page, it was on the 2nd page last time I saw it.
The fps, overclocking, and >2pt multitouch are all functions of the kernel, I believe. And the 2 main kernel devs (kingx, and netarchy) support those functions in their kernels, which will flash on most any custom ROM
(I'm fairly new, from winmo, too. I was reluctant and apprehensive for awhile, but really starting to like Android, not to mention most the great devs from winmo are drifting to Android, or already have. Xda has made the transition that much easier)

Like stated, any Rom can be anything. You can flash almost any kernel with any ROM..You can start with the stock ROM and flash what you want to get what you want...very customizable compared to WinMo.
That being said, I'm running Calkulin's EViO and love it. I can get almost 10th hours with heavy, heavy usage. With multitouch visualizer from the market, I can see 4 touch points. The phone is overlooked and fast as veal...never laggy. 4G works just fine. Lastly, the latest version has sense as an add-on, so no worries about it starting.
And, I have swype as an .apk if u want it.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks for the quick replies peoples, I went and wiped both cache, and the dalvik cache... even though I have no idea what the dalvik is, I'm using Anon Ra btw.
Calkulens Rom and a kings kernel sound like what I'm looking for, but what about the Bluetooth I know that sense based roms have corrupted Bluetooth settings, so no gamepad, are calkulins roms senseless? And work with wiimotes?
Sent from my HTC EVO
VaelPak is the greatest. Just doesn't support bluetooth controllers but may be in an update soon
Swyped from my VaelPaked Evo 4G
Um no you can't flash kernels on most roms. They are either for sense roms or asop (senseless roms..cm6) you have to read the kernel thread... and swype you can install on any rom just search and you will find out the apk. For it. 4g doesn't work on cm6 so that's out the question then...
Most kernels are set to 1.19 to 1.22 top overclock.. setcpu is a paid app to over/underclock.. battery life there are a lot of things that causes bad battery. Bad reception, screen brightness, a app that keeps your phone awake, the settings of your CPU...etc...

10hrs of heavy use? Please explain heavy heavy use because I get 4 tops even with the battery trick.. btw I use a wall charger not the phone. I have tried about every rom including yours and what I call heavy heavy usage is non-stop on phone. I can be on here on full battery, txt and do research on phone and get only 4 tops. Even with underclock.. you use wifi during heavy usage? Stock battery?
Just don't believe 10 hours heavy usage...

So that combination of Calkulin's Rom and King's kernel will not work?
And does Overclocking seriously affect battery life?

When you overclock your CPU is running faster than normal which in turn needs more juice... kind of goes hand in hand...
Yeah that should be fine. If I'm correct its a sense rom. When you look at a kernel you usually read what it has implemented and what your looking for in a kernel. They tell you which one its made for. Just was letting you know..
Also always do a nand backup in case of loops or anything goes wrong..

First issue is the battery life drains really fast. Is there any fix for that or is this only due to destroyer v2? Next the GPS doesnt work & just says searching for GPS...Next that cool little animation when you press power that looks like a TV screen turning off no longer works..if anyone can help please let me know!

I had the same problem when I flash that Rom but I use the mikefroyo guide for calibrating the battery ( I did the 2nd one ) and it really help the battery life. Just go to the mikefroyo page and look for that guide

You need to wipe batt stats when switching ROMs, esp between Sense and AOSP. I would try charging to 100% and wiping stats. If that doesn't help, try charging for 8hrs, unplug, turn off, charge for an hour, unplug and turn on for two min, turn off and charge for an hour.
For GPS, google CM7 gps fix or ##gpsclrx#. Edit: nevermind, here it is:
Backup destroyer
wipe everything
Flash or restore sense ROM
dial ##gpsclrx#
let phone reboot
open maps and get a lock, let it stay locked for a few min
go back to recovery and wipe everything again
restore destoyer
For screen animation, check spare parts settings and make sure window animations are set to normal. Then check menu>settings>cm settings>display and make sure screen off animation is checked.
I never changed anything for the animation to stop working...It just stopped working all the sudden & still wont work no matter what I do..
Try a savage zen kernel for bat life I used .1.2 bfs and got 18+ hours on moderate use. Titanium backup wipe andreflash rom. I had a bug and that fixed everything
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
But did you look at the things I mentioned? If the animation is on and spare parts window animations are set to normal, wipe and reflash.

I agree! I had the Destroyer on my phone with the Sav-Zen kernel on it as well and it worked great on battery life!
Does anyone get the issue of the phone going off on its on after a few seconds? Also whenever browsing the web the phone dims on its own after a few seconds & I have it set to 1 minute....
What savage zen kernel were you guys using? Can you link me? Comparing the sprint lovers sense rom to CM7 battery life is horrible with cm7. w/the same amount of usage on sprint lovers my batt lasts all day whereas the cm7 dies half a day..
I get better battery life with the Tiamat Kernel.
How much better batt
how much better? Is it equal to Sprint lovers sense rom? What tiamat version are u using? jsta are you on CM 7 or something else?

If you want to use the Tiamat kernel, use version 3.3.7.
As for battery, you can easily get 16hrs+
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.

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
Hey everyone!
Just got an EVO the other day and I have a unique situation.
I'm not utilizing a carrier, I bought this phone from Craigslist, works great, utilizing google voice and groove ip for sms/phone with Verizon Mobile Hotspot for internet via wifi/tether.
That said... I'm curious about phones with similar hardware and flashing roms/kernels.
Is the radio in control of my wifi?
What I mean is... is it possible to flash other roms from other parts of XDA with similar hardware, such as the Nexus One? The research I did tells me they have basically the same hardware so I was curious.
My main reason? I am utilizing CM7 but unless I missed something somewhere, there isn't really an AOSP rom for this phone that is UV/OC? I've seen the sense ones but that's it.
Just curious what you guys might make of my situation and suggestions you may have for me? I almost feel like I'm in unchartered waters lol. Just need wifi to work so I can tether to my hotspot and of course the speaker/mic to work for calls, then it's just a matter of software/apps etc...
Any ideas, suggestions or questions are welcomed. Thanks!
No. Don't do it.

Very insightful, thank you so much.
I guess I should note. I'm not an idiot... I just don't understand development inside and out... If you said "it won't work because the flux capacitor won't jolt to 1.21 jiggawatts" (that's a Jay-Z measured watt) then I would take that, but your response was very unwarranted.
Again, thanks for the input.
If any DEVS have an educated answer I would be greatly appreciative
If you flash a rom from another phone, you will either get booloops (if you're lucky) or a very nice paperweight / brick.
Many of the roms in the evo dev section are ports from other devices that take months to complete so they are safe to use or even boot on an evo.
So to reiterate, don't do it.

I'm a Sense guy, and I'm assuming you want AOSP so I'll tell you what I run when I do run AOSP, it never fails me
Deck's ROM or MIUI with Tiamat 4.1.0 SBC kernel
The kernel would be in charge of UV/OC and Wi-Fi
Use Amon Ra as recovery
Wipe everything except for SD card twice
Flash ROM
Navigate to mounts menu and mount everything except for SDext
Flash kernel
Flash Vipermod (allows undervolt)
Reboot.
Reboot.
Go to terminal and type:
su
vipermod
Choose how much you want to undervolt. And usually I undervolt by -50
Type in 10 to save changes.
Reboot.
I almost always underclock. To OC/UC, go Settings-Advanced Settings for Deck's and set at boot or Download No Frills CPU for MIUI (have to go to Superuser app and hit menu button and allow root)
Do not flash anything from a different phone... Mount points are different, different kernels and it would be an absolute mess

ive been kinda out of the rom flashing game for a bit.
but i just flashed prime 3d about a month ago and i've been finding my phone is rather slow, and the battery life is horrible.
so today i read about the ext4 mod, and tried that. my phone seems slightly faster than before as far as opening app drawer and getting into settings and little stuff, but.... my quadrant scores tanked my best is 1046.
with my previous rom i got up to 1700's. am i missing something? was i supposed to make a partition first before the ext4 mod thing?
should i not use setcpu or auto memory manager?
also, what is a good stable ROM that has full camera/camcorder(720p) and can be fast, or long battery life while tethering to my Transformer?
thanks for any info
I would try flashing the ext4 on a fresh rom install with a supported kernal. The 3.x roms are just battery hogs. I run Bugless Beast(aosp) Incredikernal with the ext4. My top quadrant was 2200-2300. I'm pretty sure 720p works but don't quote me on that. Wifi tether works fine.

i was also wondering about something else. a while back i flashed a kernel with some kind of opengl (or whatever the GPU software was) update, and since when the quadrant graphics 3d tests happen my screen is blank except for the DNA strand one? \
any clue on how to fix this?? i thought it was an incredikernal, but not sure
i switched to bugless and it feels faster after i did the supercharge v6 thing, but my quadrants are at 1100.
i remembered that when the screen was blank on quadrant i had flashed an incredikernal with gpu+, it was from 2010 and i think thats what my problem is
Here's the link for the website just download the latest gbread AOSP build

Try this
So this ROM has some purple in it, but you can use the UOT Kitchen to change what you don't like. I was in the habit of trying all the new ROMs that came out and was flashing all the time until I ran across this ROM. It is pretty much stock, but the battery life is incredible. From what I can tell Facebook for HTC Sense is not present, but with this ROM I have no reason to try the new ones that bog down the phone.
