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.

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? doing the nand backup? that's just in case the kernel doesn't work you can restore to the previous condition your phone was in (so do it before you flash baked's kernel)
I'm not sure if his kernels will work on other roms though, I think I tried once

Yes the kernel can help with battery life. You should be ok with flashing a different kernel and that ROM but as posted do a NAND backup before flashing the kernel.

How do you guys do it? Your not shopping the images are you?
This is a newb question I know, I have searched all over the forums. i have the stock rom and am not interested in any of the roms since most of them seem to not have 4g working or some other things( cant wait until they do!). My question is how do I flash just the kernel? i have never flashed anything before and I just backed up everything with rom manager. thanks!!!

Wipe cache, wipe dalvic, flash like you would a Rom. Don't forget to nand first.

Edit - I'm assuming there's a specific kernel you have that you want to flash, and you didn't mean how to extract the kernel from a full Rom - also just noticed that you said you already backed up with rom manager. You may want to consider backing up manually through recovery or using amonra instead - nobody seems to know what exactly rom manager wipes when you tell it to wipe.

i think you're misinformed (or haven't searched hard enough) - most, if not all, sense based ROMs have everything working and some (i.e. wireless/usb tether, performance/efficiency tweaks, etc.). it's the cm/aosp roms that don't have everything working (yet).
flashing kernels is similar to flashing roms. there is a plethora of threads on the topic. read some of the stickies and many of your questions will be answered to get you started with flashing roms/kernels.

here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=653
all roms are there. aosp roms are usually the roms where everything is not working.
general steps to flashing (but always read the post from the developer for any special instructions):
1. download file to sd card
2a. get into recovery (either via quickboot app or via powering down then holding volume down button while powering up)
2b. navigating in recovery - volume keys to change selection, power button to select
3. nand backup
4. wipe data, cache and dalvik (only wipe cache and dalvik if you're flashing a kernel)
5. flash the rom/kernel you downloaded
6. reboot
7. drink beer
if something goes wrong, get back into recovery and restore your nand backup.
hope this gets you started.... but read, read, read.
good luck.
sorry OP - back on topic. did you wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel? what's your up time and awake time (found in settings>about phone>battery). do you have any monitoring apps installed (i.e. system panel, android system info? you may have rogue app.

I rooted my Evo yesterday and flashed myns rom. I like the stock Rom that my phone came with and I would like to return to it. I would like to improve battery life as much as I can but with the stock Rom. So my questions are, Where can I download the stock Rom? I have hw 004 and it came with 3.30.651.3 second question is, what could I do to the stock Rom to improve battery life?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Sprint Lovers is a very close to stock rom, your best bet probally lies there. After that, you can try running a few apps like SetCPU and Juice Defender. You do have to pay for SetCPU from the marketplace though, so it may not be your first choice.
A task watcher or killer also helps, I tend to lean towards Watchdog over something like Advanced Task Killer. You can also try AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, but if you don't know what you're doing, I'd suggest leaving it on the standard settings.
Is the stock available for download? Let's just say incase of warranty purposes and I had to unroot

You should ALWAYS nandroid backup your current phone image before flashing any ROMs. If you would have, you'd be able to easily revert to the stock.
It is available somewhere, but not sure where for 004/3.30.

In these forums are rooted odex/deodex versions of 3.30.xxx.x. Choose your flavor. Improving battery life is subjective at best and the answer comes from you trying anything and everything. People can tell you what works for them but you should take it with a grain of salt, try it, and expect the worst.
Personally, I improved battery life with one simple solution...extended battery. I have tried many roms for the evo and have settled on a rom I built myself. It's funny because I flashed kernels and roms trying to find the best for me and I ended up making my own and using the stock kernel (I have also extended the stock kernel but that's a different animal).

Well if you didnt do a Nandriod Backup of your stock rooted rom before you flashed CM6.1w/Pershoot's kernel you will not have an available Nandriod backup to use. Also when you do a Nandriod backup it's of the entire system including the kernel, so what ever you back up it also backups the kernel, so to awnser that question it does restore the kernel.
Next and most important you do not ever want to reflash the PC10IMG.zip image on your rooted HTC Vision unless you have true permroot with gfree, if you rooted the old wpthis.ko file way and did not run gfree, and you would know if you used gfree, then you dont have true radio s-off and if you flash PC10IMG.zip you can brick your phone, here is a link to the thread discussing the problem I am talking about:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484
Next if you have gfree'd your phone then you should be able to reflash the PC10IMG.zip(T-mobile G2) onto your phone without any problems, I have not personally tried to reflash the PC10IMG.zip myself and I am gfree rooted, because never found a need to, but I have found a link to a post where someone has flashed the PC10IMG after gfree with out any problems :

But unless you specifically flashed a new radio your phone still has the shipped radio even with a diffrent rom, like me right now Im running Enom's rom w/ 2.6.32.27 kernel, before this I was running Virtuous with evils kernel, but even after all the diffrent roms I have flashed and kernels I have flashed, I still have the shipped radio, I never flashed a new radio. So again unless you specificlly flashed a new radio you still have the same radio the phone shipped with even though your on a custom rom. And you would know if you flashed a new radio. Custom Roms do not come with new radios they use your existing radio.
So nandriod backsup the kerenl not the radio.
Correct you are Joe. Must be vibrant specific (Nandroid not restoring kernel).
Any problems with pershoots kernel for you? I just flashed it and my battery is awesome. I'm just using set CPU with no profiles.

I didnt notice any benefit or real difference from the two, plus when they first started coming out with the OC mods 1.5 and above always seemed to give people problems, so Ive always ran my phone at this speed or even a little less. Just being cautious I guess.
Hi is there anyone working on a hotspot hack for ei22,I am stock rooted and would like sprint hotspot for my device with working 3g and 4g.I know I have the option of using wireless tether app but it makes my phone hot or restarts my phone after about 15 min of usage. I believe this would be the better option for tethering.Any help would be greatly appreciated

Biggoron is correct, only deodexed ROMs can get the hotspot hack and no one is working on trying to make it work on an odexed ROM currently. You would need to use Barnacle or Wireless Tether for that.

No not necessarily,I heard that odex was the best as far as how the phone operates and responds from my knowledge. And also Im not sure how the recovery process would go changing my android system between the two,would mybackpro work and things like that with a backup and restore with that app,or would the recovery process be different.And also what about the modems and kernel flashes would I have to switch those as well to be on deodex? Im not to familiar with the process because to be honest I choose to stick with stock as much as possible,it seems like people run into problems flashing different kernels and things like that.That's why I was hoping for a odex since im still stock rooted

Hahaha I've heard of more problems on stock than on a custom rom regaurdless. You have a custom recover no? Its quite simple make a backup of your current rom pick a rom and kernel of your choice wipe data,cache,dalvik and flash your new rom and kernel. Boot it up make sure its all good and go back into cwm and go to restore and advance restore your data. If you get any fc's clear that apps data. About the modems.... it all depends on what works best for your phone people like ei22 because its newest but if you have signal issues on there you can just use a different there are a bunch ec05,eg22,ef02, eeo3 etc etc no one modem is best but others work well with certain people. And your not changing you android system unless your flashing an Android Open Source Porject or aosp like cm7/miui.

o okay thank you for clearing that up for me, you have seemed to answer my questions and worries I had about flashing different roms,I guess when I get home I can give it a try!
And feel free to ask more questions here about it or PM any one of us. We are glad to help!
Nice job Biggie.
And the great thing is.... if you do run into problems with the rom you flashed you can always restore the backup of your stock rooted rom with cwm! So no worries at all because it is all reversable!
