[Q] FPS Fix for Stock 2.2?

I rooted my evo yesterday, so I am still completely new to how things work. (Though I have read the forums for a while)
I know I can flash a custom rom to fix the 28FPS limit I am getting, but I don't have time to completely wipe my phone and rebuild everything again.
It's kind of looking like I just flash a kernel? but I am not sure and I don't want to brick my phone.
Is there a way to just fix the performance limitations (i.e. FPS limit) and keep my stock 2.2 and all my settings/preferences?
Thank you.
I searched but didn't find anything that made sense.
Phone:
Evo w/ stock 2.2 (UnrEVOked3 root)

You should be able to just flash a custom kernel, but I don't know how those work on plain stock. Make sure you nand first.

I have rooted stock 2.2 with Kings kernel #9. Works flawlessly. It's hard for me to go back to regular once the FPS is unlock.

Just flash the zip file from recovery. Make sure you do a nand backup before you start flashing the kernel.

Thanks for the info.
I will give it a try later.
Can I flash any kernel? Or how does that work?
I was looking at snap 8.2. Is it compatible with stock & sense?
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733099)
Also, once a kernel is flashed can you update it without problems or doing a full nandroid restore?
Thanks again,

No. Go for Netarchy's or Kingklick's kernels for 2.2 Sense roms. Snap is only for cm6/AOSP style roms.

I'm using hero 4 on stock odex with no issues and great battery life.

Thank you.
I will read into each kernel.
Any suggestions on which is best/worst?
EDIT: Thought I would post some links to each kernel you listed:
KiNgxKernel
netarchy-toastmod
I couldn't find the link for Hero_over's kernel. The forums search function is down for some reason.
Please correct me if those aren't the correct or official links to the kernels.
with netarchy it says:
An important note for Clockwork mod Recovery users:
Clockwork Mod is reportedly not wiping correctly (ie; if you try to wipe cache/dalvik-cache/data/etc it's not actually doing it, or not doing it right)
You may want to consider using Amon Ra Recovery instead.

not wiping correctly may cause your phone to bootloop no matter the kernel(Fresh's seems to be particularly sensitive to it), you should be ok though. If it happens just keep redoing it till it works.
I'm using netarchy's 4.1.9 cfs ATM and it's working great. Smooth as butter.

king kernel is really good, thats what im on right now. medium use: 500+ texts, wifi on, data on, hour of browsing, 30 mins of music playing, live wallpaper. with all that im hitting ~13 hours and im at 8% right now. king kernel is pretty good, nice and smooth too

Wow! that is double my current battery time with stock and everything turned off to conserve power.
Should I use BFS or CFS?
Can I back it up my kernel so I can reflash it if I ever need to?

im on the latest king kernel which is BFS (the king kernel #9)
as for backing up your kernel...i dont know...(didnt know that was possible). once you unlock fps, you'll never want to go back.
edit: also forgot to add that my screen off is underclocked to max:245 and min:245. so that made a HUGE difference in battery life

There really is no generalization for which is better, BFS or CFS. Every phone is slightly different in build due to margin of error in production. Some people have great results with BFS where others do not. I tried both extensively on Netarchy and much prefer CFS (better performance and battery). Why? I don't know. It just works for me. You will probably have to do some experimenting of your own.
Edit: Also concerning recoveries, I would go ahead and flash Amon_RA's recovery over ClockworkMod just to avoid conflicts. Amon works with everything is very straightforward to use.

Rom Manager won't work with Amon_RA, will it?
I still know very little about root abilities so I would like so stay with something easy like rom manager.
And are Nandroid back ups interchangeable between recovery images?

you can use rom manager to install ra, but then all you'll be able to use rom manager for is to download roms. Which is still ok - some folks prefer it this way, because some things shouldnt be too easy, if you know what I mean. If you let a tool do all the work, what do you do when that tool breaks or is unavailable, and you have to do it manually?
ra can only be used outside of rom manager. Nands cannot be used between ra and clockwork - if you backup with ra, you need to restore with ra, and if you backup with clockwork, you need to restore with clockwork.

I don't mean to be ambiguous, but it really depends who you talk to. Some people swear by RA, and insist that clockwork doesn't wipe properly. Other people can conclusively prove that clockwork does indeed wipe properly, and use that with no issues. Personally, I use clockwork, but do all my flashing and wiping manually and not through rom manager. The only time I ever had any issues was a while ago, with an older version of clockwork.
I also think that clockwork has the benifit of not requiring signed zips, but don't quote me on that.
edit - just wanted to add that some devs will specify one or the other to be specifically used for whatever it is that you'll be flashing. So if they say to use X to flash, you better try using X to flash before asking why you're having issues

idk im new to trying kernals, but im running fresh 2.2 and im only getting 31-33 fps.
using kinklicks bfs 9 kernal
any help?

I have tried most of the kernels listed. For me, the best has been Netarchy's 4.1.9.1 cfs. It is smooth and has not had a single glitch, which I can't say for the others I have tried. The second best I tried was the Baked snack battery kernel #5.
cfs or bfs? What I found was that bfs gave slightly better benchmark scores than cfs, but I had a lot of odd problems or glitches when running bfs kernels (mainly scrolling lag in some apps, and some apps fcing randomly). haven't had any problems with the cfs kernels. Frankly, I haven't found any advantage to bfs because, while it seems to give better benchmark scores, in actual use it seems much slower and more laggy to me than cfs.
Clockwork or AmonRa recovery? I have used both, only had a problem once (boot loop), and that was with clockwork. Since then, I have always used Amonra's recovery to flash with. When flashing just a kernel just wipe cache and Dalvik cache, then flash the kernel. As long as you do not wipe data (reset) you should not lose anything when you flash the kernel.
Oh, and when you do a nand backup, it backs up the kernel you are currently using with it. So you can easily switch back and forth to test by restoring your backups.

What kernel is everyone using on CM7 RC1?

I was wondering what everyones experience with kernels have been before flashing it. Any suggestions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I've been using the one that comes with gginggerbread 6. It's surprisingly smooth considering my phone usually doesn't like bfs kernels

For CM7 RC1 I use the .7 savaged-zen cfs havs kernel
For CM7 RC1 with WiMax [gingerbread 6], have to use the provided .37 kernel

I personally have been using the 0.0.5-0.0.9 Savage.zen kernal BFS HAVS SBC kernal with either CM7 RC1 CM7 RC1 + WiMax

not a single force close. Been using the WiMax GB since it came out and have been using the savage.zen kernal since. I dk, but my phone seems to like BFS over CFS aswell. It will work will CFS but I get better battery life with BFS.

yeah when I flash a new rom, i wipe cache, delvik, boot, system, data, .android_secure.
boot the room, reboot to recovery, wipe cache and delvik and anroid secure, then flash the kernal, then boot, then reboot to recovery and wipe cache and delvik, and reboot and have fun.

[Q] new rom/kernel

Hey guys, I just rooted my phone a few hours ago from the tutorial here on this site for my android 2.3.3 hboot 2.16....well i finally got to root it and got really excited. THe main 2 reasons i rooted were for wifi tethering and terrible battery life. Bought an extended battery before but didnt help much.
Anyway i think i flashed it lol with superuser? ( i backed up files with rom manager and myrombackup) I just downloaded set cpu with the following settings
enabled check notifications check
screen off priority 100 245 max 245 min performance
charging full priority 50 998 max 245 min ondemand
battery<75 priority 50 806 max 245 min ondemand
So my question is, are these good settings? how much better do you think my battery life will be with these settings?
oh and do roms and kernels come in like the same zip file? where i flash them together? and which do you guys think is best for battery life, but similar to the evo stock rom? i dont wanna change my phone too much, i like it, just didnt like the battery life...sorry if this question is redundant, but most of the threads i found were really old so i didnt wanna put in an old rom or kernel if i dont have to.... THANK u guys so much before hand.

If you want to stay stock there are a few roms in the development forum that are stock with bloat removed and minimal mods. You might check some of those out.
One example is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249615
The next step would be a ROM that is ported to the Evo but with a stock look. I am running MikG which I think is one of the best.
A ROM will always come with a kernel that will be flashed with it. You can always flash a different kernel over it later. Freedom is a good kernel (see my sig for a link).
Sent from my PC36100

If your looking for a stock rooted ROM with good battery life you might want to try a froyo ROM with an sbc kernel you will get almost 2 times more out of your battery and its the same old sense 1.0 so you won't even notice a difference.

Battery is OK like any gb ROM and bloat is what we call any apps that come from our carrier that you don't want or need on the ROM like stocks ,nova , sprint TV etc..

Yeah the evo got stuck with sense 1.0 even with the gb update .
If what ever ROM you flash works for you you can keep it forever if you like you will need to try out a few ROMs they all work different on each evo there are a few different types if evos .

What recovery are you using ?
I recommend amon ra 2.3 if your not already .
If you already backed up your ROM from recovery "nandroid backup" then you don't need to do it again its just in case something goes wrong so you can go back to it.
Yes download the ROM from here and the kernel then wipe everything except your sd card and battery stats "you can wipe your battery stats if your battery is at a 100%" then flash the ROM and then the kernel.
If you get any fc's after first boot fix permissions if that doesn't work go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot that will fix most problems.
Hope that helps you out.

umm does the kernel come in the same file as the rom that i download? and where do I get the radio/wimax updates and what do I do with them? do i flash them too and when?

Superuser is an app the let you allow root to apps that need it.
You want to make a backup from recovery its called a nandroid backup I think you have clock work mod recovery you might want to switch to amon ra 2.3 you can get the link from my sig.
When you make a backup make sure to backup your wimax keys I think cwm does it on its own in ra2.3 you can pick and choose what you want to backup.
I'm not sure what radios your on but you should be good if you had 2.3 on your phone when you rooted it.
The ROM comes with a kernel but its the stock kernel give me a minute and I'll post a link to the ones that work with it.

For the recovery zip make sure its on the root of your sd not in any folder then boot to your bootloader not recovery you can download an app called quick boot to do that or just turn your phone off then hold down volume and power when it comes to the bootloader it will automatically scan for the update just hit volume up to except it then you can reboot the phone or go to recovery.

No you don't have to flash it then I just forgot about rm and flashing it that way I don't use rm anymore only to fix permission.
Now when you go to recovery to make a backup go under backup/restore/ nand backup and select what you want to backup leave the ones that are checked then check android secure ,sdext if your sd is partitioned , and wimax I believe thats all I backup .
You don't need to backup recovery or cache .
You should also make a backup of just your wimax keys that way if you lose them in a flash you can restore just that and not have to restore a whole backup.

Ok, so i think i decided, I'm gonna get the [ROM] Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 5 - 01/07/2011] - and for the kernel im gonna flash, 4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-sbc (More Aggressive HAVS) (can u make sure that's the one you have? and does it have at least 12 hours of moderate use? i text a lot, thats about it..)
ok now can you tell me if I have the steps right please?
- I'm going to download the rom Download Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5 (Mirror 1) and paste it onto the root of my sd card.
- Then I'm going to download the kernel 4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-sbc (More Aggressive HAVS)- and paste it to the root of my sd card.
- Then, I use quick boot to go into recovery, then I wipe what I have to wipe/factory reset, then I flash the rom....
- THen I dont have to wipe again, and i just flash the kernel...THen, I can use myrombackup to get all my apps and the information in the apps back...
Should i use set cpu with this rom and kernel? and is thiss correct? lol- I'm really excited btw thank u sooo much---and oh the kernel i have on my phone right now is kernel version- 2.6.35.10...

Use mybackup root to backup apps and data then use it to restore them.
Yes it sounds like you got it wipe everything except your sd card, battery stats and screen rotation I'll post a like to a super wipe I use that you can flash to make sure you wipe everything as well.
Then flash the ROM then the kernel then reboot.
If you get any force closes go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache then under other run fix uid package mismatch or what ever its called that will fix permissions from recovery.

Flash this before you flash the ROM it will wipe everything for you do the wipes on your own as well.
After your all done you should download the app battery calibration and calibrate your battery to get more battery life it wipes you battery stats you can do it from recovery but you should just use the app it will tell you what to do.

[Q] Installing freedom kernal on synergy rls1

I wanted to install freedom kernal on synergy rls1 but don't know how to go about it or which kernal would work best, any help is appreciated. Last time I tried to install, I ended up completely wiping everything from my phone accidently

Freedom kernel worked very will for me on synergy when I was using it. Just search for it here on xda, download (i downloaded the aggressive universal which is undervolted -175mv.) The synergy nightly kernel did not work for me, caused wifi to error when turning on. Anyway download, reboot into recovery> wipe cache and dalvik(but not data)>flash zip from sd> download folder (where all your downloads go) and just flash it. Reboot and enjoy. Surprisingly, synergy gets pretty good battery life with this undervolted kernel since not only is this a sense rom obviously, it is a sense 2.1+ 3.0. Good luck

Just don't wipe data/ factory reset

Download either the universal freedom, more freedom, or aggressive freedom, put on root of SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik cache, flash kernel.
Personally, i like aggressive freedom

Yes and depends on what u want out of ur phone. I would Google setcpu and read up on it though. If you've never over or under clocked its best to educate before.

Download the kernel (I use Aggressive, depends on how low voltage the phone can handle). Put on the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery. Wiipe cache and dalvik twice. Navigate to "Mounts" and mount data. Navigate to "Flash Zips" and find the kernel. Select with power button. Reboot.
Download SetCPU or No Frills CPU (If you haven't purchased SetCPU then dowload No Frills, it is free and has a simple interface).
Do not use profiles. I suggest Interactive X. My min-max CPU is 245 - 820. Interactive X drops the CPU down to 245 mHZ when screen is off and manages the CPU well when the screen is on

You don't have to mount data on Synergy...thats only for the sense 3.5 roms

I used no frills cpu control. Its free in the market and worked well for me. Too bad it wasnt there when I bought setcpu. At least it was only $1. Aggressive freedom is the way to go

Heard that some people had to do it for Xplod, at least in its earlier stages. I do it every time now I flash a kernel, just to prevent any possible issues

I'm sorry if this offends you (ghettovirtuoso), but seriously? If you listened to the video at all when you registered, you would know how to look for these answers on your own. Especially "Should I use an overclock app", "if i'm trying to overclock"? What? First, if you didn't already know this, you shouldn't be doing this! You should do A LOT MORE research before you even ask a single question! Second, be careful not to brick your phone! That's the rough it sounds like your going! It is really unfortunate how many people just want things handed to them without putting anything in themselves! DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH FIRST, A LOT OF RESEARCH! YOU CAN FIND THE ANSWER TO 99.9999% of your questions here already! also if you don't find your answer, use different search terms, or learn correct definitions for word you are using.
Finally lets get to some real development!

Lightest/Most power effecient ROM?

Hi guys, whats the most lightest/power efficient stable rom which will give me good battery life on desire Z?
I have yet to root im on 2.3 gingerbread Offocial

Try them all for a few days and make your decision; what's "good" for one isn't necessarily "good" for another due to each user using their device differently. That being said, I've heard good things about G-Lite.

Some that I can think of off the top of my head aimed more at battery/performance improvement:
G2 Slim : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324616
EliteMod CM7 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246682
Though won't be much new changes to it since he's on EliteMod ICS now, which I love for the lightness/performance. Check the link in my signature if you want to try the ICS android version instead.
Virtuous G-Lite: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1349030
Kind of the long running 'light' rom for a while.

Ok
Ok so I decided I want to get the
Virtuous G-Lite ROM
But I'm new to all this and I dont understand what steps I should take and even what half of these words mean when I tried googling it
Can you please put me on the right direction ?
and will the Virtuous G-Lite support my UK Desire Z phone ?

Okay search for glite in the development forum and download the rom. It should be around 120mb. Then copy it to your sdcard. Don't put it inside any folder nor should you extract the zip file. Now reboot your phone into recovery and wipe data, cache, dalvik. Then choose the option to install zip from sdcard. Select the zip file which you copied earlier. After flashing reboot your phone. This information is based on the presumption that you have successfully attained root and s-off on your device.
EDIT: As you haven't rooted your phone yet I suggest you follow the link "minus" below in my signature. There download the appropriate pdf.

hokay
Ok im in Glite now and I dont see a android notification bar
like without one, i cant do anything much so i need to go to a different rom do you know any?!
and I dont want to do a kernel thing because I dont understand it and i dont want to brick this phone

problem
ok the GLITE rom is giving me problems because it wouldn't log in to my primary gmail account for the market, so I used my other account and now i get an error message everytime I try to download something from the market.
Do you recommend any roms out there or should I try Elite rom, but once again I dont understand this kernel stuff its worrying and i want battery life atleast
edit: I dont like go launcher pro it doesnt have the android notification bar
Edit 2: 20 mins later, I cleared the cache, dalvik etc then I went to the launcherpro site and got the latest one and my notification bar has returned (or just come) how ever market still doesnt let me download anything

did you wipe everything before installing the rom? you may need to clear market data/cache
settings>apps>manage>play>clear

I would like to try it but I dont understand any of the elite kernel stuff

you flash a kernel the same way a rom, just flash rom then kernel. elitemod cm7 has both kernel and rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17219499
in the second post you will the download link
put it on root of sd card
boot into recovery and wipe everything (superwipe or fastboot wipe even better)
then flash zip
then reboot
sign in
reboot
your ready to go
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

oh
Ohhh so when I try to install the ROM the kernel will be installed along side it right?! that means its going to be easier than I thought.
what is this super wipe?

yes, many roms come packaged with a kernel, some don't, some require extra packages such as gapps to be flashed as well. the link I sent you just need to flash the rom, all is bundled.
superwipe came about in the g1 days, orginaly by osaka. it runs a script to wipe your phone clean to help insure a good flash of the next rom. there are many variations but I suggest finding one that formats system/cache/data to ext4 as well as wipe
search for superipe+ext4 in the threads
and fyi fastboot -w is an even cleaner wipe but needs to be done at a computer and learn how to use fastboot

GLITE Has this bug where it wont show the notification bar on first boot. One reboot will fix it. Also glite is bit old in terms of ease of use(customization) but it is very good in terms of battery. Elitemod is good too.

Yeah that bug happened to me, I tried to clear dalvik cache and then I updated the launcherpro then it randomly came. Is elitemod more easier and more customisable?what android version is it? Because on glite the battery life is brilliant but it feels like I'm sacrficing widgets (power control), the quick settings I had previously and the overal look is quite 'boring'
So with elite mod would I need to do any overclocking what so ever or anything else? And how can I make a back up of my current glite installion and revert back to it just incase elitemod doesn't work out for me

well your first step, just like when changing to any rom, is boot into recovery and make a backup. then you want to do a full wipe. then flash the next rom
nik3r has made a couple versions of elite mod, the one being suggested to you is based off of cm7 so its gingerbread, same as glite. it is slightly overclocked out of the box and has just about all the options avalible for a rom of its day, far more than glite. as for battery life, if you keep the oc/uv settings as they are you should get just as good battery life. I'm a moderate to heavy user and I do just fine with it
