Flashing a kernal from phone

I am currently running Lithid-cm's HTC EVO 4G Freedom V 0.9 (stock) kernal. I want to find a new one that is great and that I can install straight from my phone. I also could use some directions on how to do it.
TIA

Download your kernel of choice from phone, use some sort of file explorer app to make sure its named PC36IMG.zip and also make sure its on the root of your SD card, then turn your phone off and turn back on holding volume down or hold down power and hit reboot and see if you have a hboot option. After all that volume up when prompted then again. I haven't flashed a new kernel in a while but I think that covers it.

Aside from what he said, all the kernels for Evo are signed. They do not need to be PC36IMGs . Just wipe cache and dalvik, and flash like anything else thru recovery.

I use Savagen-Zen, you could also try Tiamat. Battery life on Savagen- Zen always seems a little better. A quick search will find you lots of links.

Well, I just installed it last night so it might be a few days before I notice the difference in full. As of now, It's a little snappier. It was really easy and quick to install. I was in line at Walmart and did it, by the time I had to pay I was able to use my phone again.

I can say that I have noticed about a 2% battery life increase and about a 5% performance increase. Of course I don't have a lot of apps and I use it light-normal now that I don't use Facebook. I also messed with my http and rstp and that helped with the 3g.

Best Recommended Rom/Kernel For The Epic 4G Touch?

I have rooted phones in the past and loved it. Looking to root my new galaxy s2 epic 4g touch for sprint. Would like to get the best and easiest instructions as well as the best rom/kernel combination. Would like something that is stable and doesn't have too many bugs. Please help yall! If you got to send me a link, that's fine. Just so many posts on here don't know where to start lol

Best rom, by far is strongsteves odexed. Chris's EL26kernel is baked in: (I have 2 E4GT's. One is always running strongsteve)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323763

Use sfhubs one touch root (look in the devs section). This will get you up and rooted, then choose option c to install a custom recovery. As far as a ROM solution, I am going to have to respectfully disagree with the previous post. Calk's e4gt ROM, ver 2.8.1. Seems to be the most stable and popular ROM around here. That is where I would start.

I second that. I prefer calk's with the desperado kernel.

I will have to respectfully disagree with the last two posts. This isn't a popularity contest, it's about the most reliable rom. Have either of you tried strongsteves? I'm running calks latest on my 2nd E4GT. Odex plainly runs smoother without any tweaks. The battery life is far better as well. Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way. I like calks and always have. That being said, strongsteve is just all around a better rom

+1 on Blazer.
3.8 should be out today.

Everyone will have a different opinion on roms etc, so I'll try to just state facts.
Calk's rom is very nice. In fact a lot of roms are created using his as a base. That speaks for itself. He's also very responsive, concise, and very well respected.
The same can be said about PhantomHacker's roms. He has his own Starburst rom - very oem'ish, one of the first custom roms out (but I think Unnamed has taken the lead in this category) and also the Blazer series roms (based off of Calks rom too)
Again, he's very responsive, well respected, and writes well.
That being said, there are many other Super custom roms, with crazy fonts, icons, etc. Too crazy for myself.
StrongSteve's rom should be solid too.
Bottom line, make a backup of something solid, and try out anything you find appealing. Check out the screenshots in the OP for many of them. Don't be scared. Ask Questions- but read the threads first. If you just don't like one, go back to the backup I was talking about.
Welcome buddy!!!! Have fun and be nice to everyone. (not that you weren't)

I've tried a few different ROMS but Blazer has been solid for me and my use..and I understand with the newest update the battery is suppose to be better but you should try them out and see what works for you and your use of the phone.

What do you mean it is not cwm recovery? Then what is it?
Listen, get the autoroot kit, follow instructions and choose option c and then option e. You should now have ek02 rom/kernel with cwm. Then reboot into cwm recovery by holding the volume up button and the power button at the same time. From there, flash whatever rom you want.

I'm on EL29 and it didn't work, my phone never connected with the auto root, I tried it several times. The only option for EL29 is L or M and I tried L with the latest auto root and it said it would connect, so I tried the other and that at least got me to the other screen, but it never connected

Trying to find the perfect rom?

yes yes i know what a noobie question. i just got the epic 4g. i came from evo4g. yes i love this phone its so awesome. i just rooted it with qbking77 tutorial. shout out qbking77 your the best man your such a great help. so back to what i was saying im looking for a stock rom that has tweaks to it for battery and performance. i want to keep everything stock tho i love it!! im really digging the touchwiz launcher its awesome but it can lag. well for me it can. if you guys can help me out i would really appreciate it. thanks guys.
-Ninja25
btw here are my stuff:
firmware v: 2.3.6
kernal v:2.6.35.7
build #:GINGERBREAD.EL30
im still getting used to things with the epic.

Clean gb is a good choice Also there is an mtd version which is a different partition map and will open up your internal storage to 676mb .
Anyways clean is as stock as it gets a good kernel would be in order as well so shadow kernel or the samurai kernel will be sufficient I run the samurai kernel because of the awesome tweaks hut shadow is just as smooth.

oh man. im sorry. i meant stock as in the touchwiz ui. im so sorry man. im running the basic stock rom it comes with before you root it. and man my battery is so horrible. and performance is ok but i think it could be better. i tried uninstalling apps and everything.

im so completely lost between mtd and rom?
Is there a kernel i can just flash right over the normal stock rom? maybe for battery tweaks and performance??

I recommend cm7 or cm9. Cm7 is more stable and has more mods but cm9 is on android 4.0.

Not really there aren't really any stock kernels like that besides you need to root anyways to even access any undervolting abilities.
Sent From My SPH-D700 Running Android 4.0 :sly:

How far do you want to go with you phone?
Are you interesting in just adding a rooted kernel and leaving everything else stock?
Or are you looking to go all out and get the best setup possible to get all that you can out of your phone?
Or are you looking for something in between?
If you are looking just to add the basics, install Clockworkmod recovery, and a stock rooted kernel
If you are looking for the bleeding edge (will require frequent updates) install CM9 and the latest Samurai kernel
If you are looking for something inbetween, I LOVE the Legendary ROM, as it has been superb for me, before I made the move to CM9

I'm basically looking for a stock kernel that will give me good performance and long lasting battery. I was basically looking for a rom that has everything stock just little tweaks to the system and a stable kernel. I love the touchwiz interface I came from sense and I'm not trying to get rid of it.

It has a flashable zip for touchwiz launcher. Mine does too . I know you are not trying to get rid of touchwiz but I think you should try cyanogenmod 7 or MIUI. You can always flash to cleangb if you don't like them.

Install clockworkmod recovery 5 (if you already have it, don't worry) because it wont work with ACS recovery. Then you can get touchwiz launcher as a flashable from the CleanGB rom's thread. You also have to search my rom's (marcusantROM) thread and look for the GPS fix. It is setting permissions to a file.

I use FC22 stock with tegrak. Works fine...The gpu boost overheats my phone on some games though.

So...how many of you guys sticking onto EL29?

Just wondering if you guys are sticking to GB and why. I've tried FF18 and it's okay. CM9 is amazing but I don't think its solid like EL29 (IMO). But overall CM9 is solid. No flaming but I want to hear what you guys think.

Back to the one truly perfect rom (Calk's EL29) for me, too. I've tried ICS in many flavors (Calk's, mijj's, Phantom's) and they all have various issues. Be it poor battery life, MMS not working, audio bugs, Pandora not playing, GPS not locking, whatever, ICS sucks on the E4GT. The only ICS ROM that I've had any success with was CM9, but I use AllShare almost daily so that isn't a go for me.

I dont get how you all are having issues with ICS Ive used ROMs from Venum, and other members of Team Venum. Using Dazed's Wicked Sensation 1.5 now. Great battery life, plenty fast for me. I did change the Kernel and modem to FF02 though. seems to work best for my phone. Ive used Blend, Blu Kuban, Anakonda, Boa, ICE, AOKP, CM9, Frankenstein's ego. Never had an issue with any of them. Well... except for not flashing AOKP right a couple times. Got it figured out fairly quickly Even running Placebo tweaks and havent had issues at all. One thing or another may not work on one ROM or another. but always found a work around for them. Im just learning all this stuff though. Havent really gotten in to the meat an potatos of it all yet. But Im learning.
Anyways... long answer just to say I Love ICS. Cant wait to try Jellybean.

I love ics but the horrible speeds I encounter with my bandwidth brought me back to gb. I tried everything to get descent speeds and ended up losing the battle. Even resorted going back to stock ota and bringing the phone to Sprint so they could look at it. GB is the place to be for me and my bandwidth. I just wish the forum would branch sub cats for ics and GB users so I don't have to scroll for 20 mins looking for old GB roms

ICS reminds me of Windows ME! It was just not a finished product, and with Jelly bean in the very near future, it's shaping up to be just like it. Ics needs that shot in the arm that it lacked for smoothness and other things. All i can say is BUTTER! ! !
