Data governor killer zip still effective? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just switched from the midnight rom to the urban regeneration and my wifi tether is running hella slow. I still have the data service governor killer zip on my sd card, (from a long time ago lol). Anyone know, before I back everything up and try this, if it works on newer roms?

honestly i dont think it ever was..

I think I recall reading it was built into at least one kernel, but that was back in the DK28 days.

It should still work, although iirc it was a modification to android.policy.jar which was probably changed from eclair to froyo. It may need to be reworked.

It was definately stated that it was baked into some old DK28 ViperROMs. I was wondering about this lately with the decrease in data speeds in SoCal

Lagfix?

Any such thing as a lagfix for evo?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I was unaware that the EVO needed a lag fix.
There is the FPS fix?
Yeah evo isn't much laggy, but I was curious.. Is fps from the market like ryanzas or a flashable zip?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The FPS fix was implemented months ago and is global across all ROMs/kernels, including stock.
As metal head mentioned that hasn't been an issue for a long long time, since eclair almost. All that was needed was for the kernel to be tweaked and HTC implemented it in the stock kernel.
Awesome info guys... Came from a galaxy s... Now I'm happier I made the move....
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I came from tmo and a vibrant, this phone is way better, I was so sick of needing a lag fix. The only thing I miss is the 16gb internal storage. I think htc is the only choice for me

Give us some more details, when did you flash? How did you flash? Have you installed any apps lately?
My fault. Sorry. I'm running that CM7 19 VERSION. I am using the red theme from the market. I can't use juice defender simply cause it doesn't support gingerbread yet. I'm using 60676 prl. Can't even find the pri but I'm assuming it's still 1.77 unless cm came with 1.9.
Flashed it 24 hours ago. Haven't switched kernals cause I have had horrible experience with anything other than stock with myn's. I reinstalled all my apps and kik messenger is on lockdown with autostarts. So therefore it doesn't eat up partial wake time and doesn't open unless I do it manually.

Give any new rom at least 2 days to fully "get settled".
What kernal do you recommend? I'm not too familiar with cm.

Stock, until you get those issues ironed out. "Stock" sounds lame, but CM7s kernel is far from stock
After that, I use savaged-zen with much success. Though everyone will tell you that kernels behave differently with different phones. Spend a week trying a few for like 2 days at a time and see which one you like the most Also, play with the governor settings (under settings/cyanogenmod settings/performance). I personally use the SZ kernel with the "interactive" governor and find it to be the best balance between speed and battery life.
Interactive all the way man!! DATS DA BEST!

I've been on Y for a few hours now, and GPS works fine for me. A few people have reported that GPS isn't working for them, but AOSP GPS always seems a bit flaky on some Evos. My own experience with it is that GPS works perfect though. Wireles Tether works fine on this ROM. I haven't been using the Wireless Tether app lately though, as the built in tethering feature works perfectly on 3g and 4g. find the native tethering under menu>settings>wireless & networks>tethering and portable hotspot. From there you can use wifi tether or USB tether, both work.
As far as known issues, I have 0 (so far, it's only been a few hours). The only bug that had been annoying was the phone going to the lock screen after hanging up a call, but that issue has been fixed in Y. Flash it and give it a shot.
Which would be the better deck rom to use? And what kernal? Im not sure how to do any of the gps fixes ive been hearing either, lol

I would use the latest build, which is 1.2y. Keep in mind that these are betas (although 99.9% stable and could be called stable, IMO) 1.2x and 1.2y both have the GPS fix incorporated into the build, so in theory GPS should work out of the box (it does for me). You *should'nt* need to do anything special to get GPS to work. As far as the kernel goes, every phone reacts a bit different with kernels, so it's kind of trial and error. I would suggest giving the CM kernel that comes with the ROM a try for a few days. It works extremely well on my phone. I also run Savaged Zen 2.2.1 CFS, and that performs well too. GodmodeV9 is a great 'no frills' kernel. It doesn't have sbc or havs, and is meant to be stable and have good performance, which it is and it does. Just give each kernel you try a few days to settle in before passing judgement on it. It takes a little bit of time to be able to tell how it's ultimately going to perform. Sometimes it makes a big difference by adjusting the governor settings too. Good luck
Hey keep this post in mind because ill come back here and post more questions... Thanks... Ive been flashing so many and im just tired. I know its basically a trial and error but that gets tiring. Thanks man...

[Q] CM7 ROM or EI22 ROMs

Just curious, I've been using the CM7 ROM since the last update. I want to try a EI22 ROM but want to know if the bugs and other problems are worth it. this CM7 ROM I have been using had been the best ROM I ever installed, no issues, my wifi always works, GPS, no reboots. The only small issue I have is no charging when the phone is off.
Just want a few opinions from people who went from CM7 to EI22 roms.

Best ROM for me, hands down! I installed since 10/22 release, never had to reflash or a random reboot.
I've read a few comments about the new EI22 ROMs, but nothing to really motivate me to even try them out.

you cant record videos on cm7 yet. its an alpha staged rom. the ei22 builds right now are just as.good if not better as of right now. I get no fc's on cleangb. no reboots, no stability issues and also full features.

Yeah I don't understand either. Gingerbread is like 10 times faster with more memory free than Froyo was on my phone but to each their own I guess.

So you are saying I can safely run GB as a daily driver with no problems in wifi, 4g, gps, or any of the other odd quirks here and there? Or is it not quite there yet?
I am waiting in the wings for a solid stock like build with Sprint TV which actually is the only Sprint app that I would like to work and keep.
I am hoping to have a good GB daily driver!

I have been running GB since EF02 and never had any wifi or 4G issues and always was able to run Sprint TV. GPS was reduced to less satellite locks to conserve battery. The great Devs here ported the Fascinate library files to give us full locks again. I recommend Legendary 2.1 which has the GPS fixed library and the patch for key skips as well as a bunch of other goodies.

What you are seeing is a lot more apps loading themselves into memory whenever the heck they want to. I froze all the recent extras that I don't use like Google Talk, Google +, Maps, and a few others. Memory Booster Lite helped me see all the apps loading into memory to freeze or uninstall. I have no memory leaks, kill those apps in MBL task killer and I usually have 180MB free.
