[Q] YAY Im on CM6

Hey guys I successfully on cm6 on my htc evo woot! Im still a noob and would like to know how to underclock and overclock my phone with cm6 (underclock when i sleep and overclock when active) Also I would like to know if there is an app online i can download through my phone for free wifi tethering that works on cm6 thx!

Flame suit on and ready:
Seriously though.....congrats but now it's time for you to take your time and read the forums and educate your self. Good luck.
CM / Snap Powered

dood... go read the Cm6 thread...

Setcpu will help you with oc uc. Searched wireless tethering for android on google you will find it.
PS. Brace yourself for flaming from people that think they are mods

you should have read the actual cm thread already, as many of your questions are answered there. (search is your friend) And as for wifi tethering its built into cm >_>

SetCPU to over/under clock. Tethering is built into cm6. Take a gander in wireless & networks.

Dont overclock your phone...you get no noticable different....all of snaps kernals made my phone less stable....yeah benchmarks went up...but did i really notice. A speed difference....no....just stay on stock cm6....

you can wifi tether from menu on cm6 flame
menu>settings>wireless&networks

I do wish I had the ability to try out CM6... But without 4g support.. I cannot even consider it.. All I run now in boston is 4g and wifi at home.. Once CM6.1 launches I'll be all over it! Can't wait! For now running Fresh 3.2 + stock kernal... Amazing on battery life and performance .. No need for me to over our under clock.. Love it! And do not forget about swype!

I refuse to use CM6 until they get all features working right.
Not a knock on the very hard work they have done, but I paid a lot of money for my phone and want everything working as intended.
The FM radio is meh, I can do without that. The HDMI out kind of sucks, would be cool to use a Wiimote with an emulator and bust out and play games (if only I had a place to store a few Wiimotes haha, car I guess?). But no 4G? Considering the phone is called the HTC Evo 4G, I think CM6 is rather pointless at this time.
I wish HTC would release the information and help all of our developers. If they did I bet CM6 would work perfectly and then be blazing fast.
I am also a fan of Sense, using another Android phone without it looks generic to me. To each their own I suppose.

[Q] Would you mind helping a Android noob?

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.

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..

[REQ] Stock Rom that allows us to keep root

Im looking for a stock rom with no changes to it that allows me to keep root. I Looked through all the older threads in development but it seems there have been updates and such. Right now I am running CM 6.1 and it seem my batt is dying way faster then it did on a stock rom. I'd like to compare them and such. If anyone has one or can point me in the right direction i'd be happy! Thank you!

Yes, I am experiencing higher drain as well. Search the development section for cr_mod, look for the CR_Mod OTA 1.35.something. It's the rooted stock ROM with a wireless tether built in, OTA update and all. That's what your looking for. I flashed dumfuq's OC 4.0 kernel over the stock ROM and got better battery life than the stock HTC kernel, so I also recommend doing that. I'm on cm6.1 stable now, so I can easily modify themes, since it's AOSP based, and also so I can use the gingerbread latin_IME keyboard, since you need at least froyo to do that.

Hey thanks! I went back for about 8 hours and hated it. Im back on CM 6.1 and im getting terrible battery life still. IDK, I am going to try and reformat my SD card and reflash at a full battary etc. I migh ttry the kernel, but, I really don't want any OC of any kind, just maybe a lower standby setting, something in the range of 50mhz while the screen is off or something.

I cant see how formating an sd card could help. Anywho, cm 6.1 has the oc kernal already built into it. You dont need to flash any kernals, just use setcpu to adjust the speed.

50 MHz is too low. 245 is the lowest option

I said try flashing dumfuq 4.0 over it because I THINK, not positive, but I was speculating that cyanogen had modified the kernel slightly that was causing a battery drain issue, because I stopped having so many issues with it when I flashed dumfuq's 4.0 kernel over it. Sounds weird, but it helped. I still have an occasional glitch where something is holding a wakelock on the system and it won't go to sleep, which is really annoying, and I think I traced it back to the music app, but still not sure there. I've been off of the charger for over an hour, with just 11 minutes of screen on and screen is 71% of the usage while cell standby is 11%, that's what makes me think flashing dumfuqs 4.0 fixed it. Cyanogen must've made a modification.
So, also @ the OP, go into spare parts battery history and see what is using it. If "running" is up above like 30 or 50% then you have something holding a wakelock, go to partial wake usage, and look at the app or UID that's got the wakelock. Rebooting normally gets rid of the lock for me, like I said, haven't quite figured it out yet.

USB storage problem

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...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

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)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

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.

Unique Question - For Devs (wifi only evo 4g roms?)

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
