Root Fast Evo with 2.2 and custom kernel

[One Beast]

Well i never got the wifi tether working but noticed my wifi stopped also. Im going to start over again.

My Wifi is working fine..I never had a issue with that...Try reflashing

Ok got the wifi working but still having trouble with tether. When I pull up my network it shows ANDROID TETHER but has no signal. I can click on connect but then it will say "This network will appear in the list of wireless networks and will stay active until everyone disconnects" I am about to try kernel 3.7.7"

Before you downgrade try this Wifi Tether app

wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre6.apk - android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre6 *** EXPERIMENTAL ** - Project Hosting on Google Code

That worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One other thing. When screen goes off I loose wireless tether. I already went to MENU>SETTINGS>WIRELESS&NETWORKS.WIFI SETTINGS>MENU>ADVANCED>WIFI SLEEP POLICY> SELECT NEVER. But I have to still keep screen on to stay connected.

This is running my kernel (snap v5.01) and CM6 OC'd to 1.19 with performance mode:

and what's the battery life on that? 2 hours? I bet it's not good

I wouldn't lock the CPU at peak with the performance governor all day, but I go 30 hours with ondemand and 1.19g with normal usage.

Nice!

I found this link:

[Kernel] CM6-Snap-v5! UV/OC/Compcache - xda-developers

I'm looking for your changelog - maybe I'm blind, but any help appreciated, interested in what works/doesn't and using with stock rooted rom if possible.

Also, you're probably already familiar with this, any comment most welcome:

(from me at - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7565043&postcount=2627)

netarchy, first and foremost I want to say thanks and you rock - I just began trying out the kernel last week.

Secondly - I've engaged in a discussion with a guy who claimed that his Vibrant's Tangent scores doubled merely moving the Dalvik cache to the SD card with a rooted stock kernel on his phone, no other changes. While skeptical, I am intrigued.

I googled it a little, and saw in this forum that that didn't work out so well for the Hero, as one example.

While the Hero thread mentioned that at least a class 4 SD card is required, this Vibrant guy with the ~1800 Tangent score (on a stock rooted 2.1) claimed:

The card I'm using currently is labeled as 16GB class 2 card from Sandisk. It originally came with my first generation Droid.

Has this been tried for the EVO with a kernel such as yours?

Unless it's already known to be a non-starter, I'd be happy to give it a whack if it's not been tried. In such a case, I'd like to know if these are decent instructions for creating the ext2 partition - and is ext2+swap the right config to try with this sort of thing?

How to manually partition your SD card for Android Apps2SD – Android and Me

I'm using an earlier Clockworkmod Recovery rather than Amon Ra, so that's my path to an ext-type fs - and I'm more than comfy with Linux, I've been a unix guy since the '80s.

I monkeyed the script I've found into:

busybox cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /mnt/sdcard/dalvik-cache
rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache
ln -s /mnt/sdcard/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
reboot

Seemed to make sense to not bother jumping thru the sdcard softlink and just hit the mount point.

Any merit to this idea?

The only way that even begins to make sense to me personally would be if the handset maker cheaped out on the internal memory's data pathways (almost unpossible for me given that Samsung has pioneered 20 nm process memory for mobile) - or - if the memory ports for the Hummingbird are somehow so strangely parallelized so as to actually give benefit to using the SD card for that.

I'm obviously confused as to the actual memory hardware configurations supported by these modern handsets - I've only been using Android seriously since getting my EVO on 6/6 - with attempted use on a Moment before that.

So, I apologize in advance if the question itself is kinda a waste of time.

Cheers, thanks again for the naked bunny kernel - I'm holding off on mecha-bunny for now.

PS if anyone cares, I typically hit around 1300 on Tangent with the stock rooted 3.26.yadda.6 rom and the netarchy-toast 3.7.7 kernel. I know better results can be had by losing Sense, but I kinda like it so far, and if this works, it would be Snapdragon 8x50-specific and therefore of benefit with any rom.

(netarchy's since explained that he uses /cache so don't try this at home without the appropriate change!)

I've not had time to try it, and don't want to flog the bishop if this is known to not work a priori with your kernel, so appreciate any light you can shed here.

The changelog builds starting with Version 1. Each Version box has additive changes.

Regarding the davlik-cache move to SDCard: I'm willing to try it. Let me see what I can cook up.

This result is from the next (unreleased) snap kernel. Same cpufreq and governor:

 

[jmxp69]

More tweaks on snap. I think this is an Evo record. 1.19/performance.

If that CM6 didnt kill 4G I probably would try it out

Well the new kernel is out so let's see if we can get 4G with that, then JMF can make a new snap kernel.

I thought I saw one at 1700+ over on XDA, someone running CM6. Can't find the thread.

best avg i have been able to get

finally got it!!

Snapv7 @ 1.19:

Looks like cache on the SD card makes quite a difference.

Is your kernel ok with the stock rooted rom?

PS - What are the colors about in that Quadrant graph?

 

[jmxp69]

I haven't tried running the kernel on a stock rooted ROM, but others have and I have yet to hear of any successes.

The colored bars in Quadrant are in the pay version and they represent the measurements of various tests (cpu, memory, io, opengl).

It's been a while since I've done kernel development.

Best luck in your future endeavors.

 

[jmxp69]

Here's something I did just for fun. It's not sustainable for day-to-day use, but I'll be looking into options to make it sustainable.

v01rider, How is your battery life with those settings on Set CPU...?

I was having trouble finding good settings to optimize and get decent battery life
