NB1:
TO ALL EclairMODv3 USERS,
You can restore only the system.img! this way you'll not lose any data or setting! Wipe data\cache this way:
RECOMMENDED only for v3 users, from other roms, or also from older EclairMOD verison, I suggest to wipe and restore the entire Backup!
NB2: I have to THANKS zewelor1 and Nothze that helped me A LOT to improve this rom even more! Thanks many props to you!!
the EclairMOD is a light ROM, I removed almost everything superfluous, all the crapware motorola, then:
APPLICATIONS REMOVED:
AlarmClock.apk
CarDock.apk
email.apk
FOTA.apk ----> updates are disabled in this way, but I don't tink they are needed : p
Gestures.apk
HelpCenter.apk
LatinIME.apk
LatinImeTutorial.apk
Launcher.apk
MediaGallery.apk
MotoCal.apk
MotoCarDock.apk
MotoGal.apk
Motonav.apk
PersonalPortal.apk
PicoTts.apk
TtsService.apk
VideoPlayerMoto.apk
VSuiteApp.apk
WorldClockWidget.apk
Here there is the apps removed
Dump.zip
just put them in /system/app and reboot
So given practically a vanilla ROM, and I inserted the following applications:
Wireless Tether - updated
Usb Tether - thx TheSolutor
Nexus Gallery ----> fully functional and integrated with the camera!
Droid X keyboard ---> fully functional with all the symbols and the vibration working!
Voicesearch ----> Voice search with included keyboard (with voice recognition!)
GenieWidget Froyo
Clock.apk original google
Dock.apk original google
Facebook.apk 1.3.2
Spare parts ----> access to additional settings UI and to speed up the animations (and accurate indications of battery consumption)
DroidShuffle.apk ----> control of the player directly from the headset button! 1 click play / pause 2 next 3 previous and long click for the shuffle, the application must sect has a simple UI
MIlestoneOverclock.apk overclocking could not miss ^ _ ^
QuickSettings-> a very handful utility! Nothing more to say
The ROM is complete ZIPALIGNED
Other tewak! :
JIT UPDATED TO v7 (got one is v2 or like that) MORE STABLE AND RELIABLE --> thx samdroid for the porting and zewelor1 for the segnalation
ADBD at Boot-> the ABD shell is loaded directly in Root mode since the boot!
SAMBA enabled! (thx zewelor1 e nadlabak)
NFS enabled! (thx nadlabak)
FLAC enabled!
Memhack enabled!
In build.prop set the time to scan the wifi in 90 seconds ... save a lot of battery (especially when you forget it enabled!)
Build.prop changed, so I added 2 lines on the use of JIT (included)
TWEAK in build.prop VIDEO HQ 6mbit 720x480 30fps max (stops at 24 \ 25 normally anyway: '()
changed dalvik.vm.heapsize increased by 50% from 24 to 36mega! (The DalvikVM will use more RAM but it also has more megs available and with the installed JIT we have a good responsiveness of the system)
Reduced Ring delay!
ROOT->superuser.apk version 2.3.6.1 updated!
Also as I reduced the ROM practically to a vanilla One, I replaced the following apk:
ADW launcher, I've abandoned LauncherPro, ADW is much more lighter, stable, personalizable and with much more settings! (and the resizable widget free )
Music.apk ----> MusicMode replaced with 1.6, provides widgets from 4x1 to 4x4 to control the music, gestures and interface much more advanced than the original
SMS/MMS MOD with led hack to set different colors and much more settings!
NEW BATTERY MANAGER from brazilian firmwares!! very very nice utility for your milestone!
BRIGHTNESS HACK:to set brightness under the minimum of the system (set to 2 where system sets to 20 lol) SPARE A LOT OF BATTERY WHEN NEEDED-> Returned to BrightControl app for compatibility iussues!
WidgetPicker MOD- new and more clean way to pick widget, this overrides the original picker- CREDITS: Boombuler
NEW- Apn-config list of apn, directly from CyanogenMOD 5.08
Google DSN Fix- thx to Kabaldan
SCRIPTS:
I have included in /system /xbin a series of scripts that can be used by ABD or (as I always do) from Terminal Emulator (whom I recommend!)
Again much much thx to zewelor1 to his efforts to improve this rom
mountsys -> mount /system
unmountsys -> unmount /system
rb ---> reboot
rr ----> reboot recovery
soundon ---> enable sound camera
soundoff ---> Disable camera sound
switchba ---> replaces bootanimation in /System/media with another
NB: New boot must be in the root of the SD and renamed "bootanimation.zip" (without the quotes)
blockads ---> block all ads from applications and browser (recommended xD)
showads ---> cancels the previous script and will show all ads
movecache ---> move the cache to sd! (Much free space)
busybox ---> Updated to 1.1.7 thx zewelor1!!)
nano->console text editor -> updated to the latest included in CyanogenMOD 6 rc2
vim->very handy console text editor
mountro/rw->munt unmount /system
agent->script for bluetooth agent configuration!
Cpueater
openssl->support ssl!
Openvpn->conf vpn via terminal!
Rsync
ssh->support ssh!!
timeinfo->info uptime
BUSYBOX installed in XBIN with symlinks so we can use busybox commands without have to type "busybox" before them!
MODULES:
Included in the Rom /system/lib/modules are:
cpufreq_conservative.ko
cpu_freq_interactive.ko
overclock.ko
cifs.ko
sunrpc.ko
lockd.ko
nfs.ko
ext2.ko
they are all loaded at boot (find the scripts in /system/bin/boot_script)
SAMBA & NFS
The modules are all loaded at boot, but to use you'll have to use the TERMINAL EMULATOR on the device!
NFS---> nfs modules for Milestone | android.doshaska.net
SAMBA---> Samba mount - cifs kernel module for Milestone | android.doshaska.net
for the SAMBA there is an app right here on XDA! CifsManager I recommend to create a folder /mnt/cifs with permission 777 AND a folder /sdcard/samba
Reminder: Please, if you have problem with those modules, do not ask in this tread, ask in the linked thread; I'll help you if there is a problem with the loading at boot, but I cannot help with the use of them!
OverClock
the file is as follows:
Code:
#! /System/bin/sh
/System/bin/ insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko omap2_clk_init_cpufreq_table_addr = 0xc004e4b0
echo 65> /proc/overclocking/max_vsel
echo 1100000> /proc/overclocking/max_rate
echo "1 750000"> /proc/overclocking/freq_table
echo "4 750000000 50"> /proc/overclocking/mpu_opps
echo "2 500000"> /proc/overclocking/freq_table
echo "3 500000000 40"> /proc/overclocking/mpu_opps
echo "3 250000"> /proc/overclocking/freq_table
echo "30 2 250000000"> /proc/overclocking/mpu_opps
1100MHz with VSEL 65 and then with the other 3 step VSEL 50 to 750MHz, 500MHz VSEL 40 and 250MHz VSEL 30
may seem high (for battery consumption, having deleted the step to 125MHz) but apart from 1.1GHz there is a strong undervolt and therefore less power consumption!
Supported by the Conservative governor (which scale between especially the 2 middle steps when you do not need much power and stops at the first when not need!)
for those who want to roll to the original values and change only the last step (the highest) it's enough to delete the 71_overclock in the named folder and use the overclock app I included (and set it to boot of course)
By default both conservative and interactive are loaded at boot, but only conservative is applyed, with setcpu will be shown both, if you want the interactive at boot, see update-nosign.zip
I created simple update-nosign.zip to be applied through recovery (the GOT has miscellaneus option "apply update", do not remember in the openrecovery XD)
they have to be placed in the /SDCard/openrecovery/updates and I recommend NOT EXTRACT Leave Them in ZIP format!
So now we have
overclock650-update-nosign.zip <- simple overclock to 650MHz remains conservative and step and voltages are the ORIGINAL
overclock800-update-nosign.zip <- Overclocking to 800/600/250/125 all undervolted ! 56/50/30/22 the VSEL
overclock1000-update-nosign.zip <- Overclocked to 1000MHz with original stock VSEL! step change 1000/700/250/125 with VSEL 58/50/30/22
overclock1100-update-nosign.zip <- 1100MHz overclocking with VSEL 65 is ALREADY APPLIED BY DEFAULT VSEL step 1100/750/500/250 vsel 65/50/40/30 for those wishing to reapply it xD
NEW
I am attaching a few update to who wants a better battery life Indeed they are ULV (ultra low voltage) is not here the original VSEL xD here they are:
undervolt-550-ULV-update-nosign.zip -> no overclocking, only undervolting! (For those who really wants battery and not search performance) step 550/400/250/125 respectively VSEL 36 \ 32 \ 28 \ 16
overclock600-ULV-update-nosign.zip -> 600MHz overclock the same steps as before but with 600/38 VSEL
overclock700-ULV-update-nosign.zip -> 700MHz overclock the same step, but with 700 / 42 max as VSEL
overclock800-ULV-update-nosign.zip -> 800mhz overclock in steps 800/400/250/125 with 48/38/28/18 vsels
overclock900-ULV-update-nosign.zip -> 900MHz overclock step 900/650/400/250 with 50/40/30/26 VSEL
Dedicated to those who want performance and fuel economy: D (I have now abandoned the 1 1ghz in favor of this from 900: D)
For those who want the interactive ->
Interactive-to-boot
If you want to return to the conservative ->
Conservative-to-boot
They do their work flawlessy on MY rom (or ANY with overclock and/or governor script here before) IF you do it from a PLAIN rom (or a rom without overclock/governor) you'll have to set permission MANUALLY...
this is valid ONLY FOR OVERCLOCK/GOVERNOR, THE TEMES WILL WORK ON ANY 2.36
KERNEL TWEAK SCRIPT
This script allows you at boot (through the busybox's sysctl) to change some values of the kernel and the results??
Fluidity, speed and immediacy has increased significantly!
here is the script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
sysctl -p
#
#Disable normalized sleeper
#
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
echo NO_NORMALIZED_SLEEPER > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
#
# Memory management
#
/system/xbin/echo 2048 > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni
/system/xbin/echo 64000 > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmax
/system/xbin/echo 268435456 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
/system/xbin/echo 500 512000 64 2048 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_latency_ns=600000
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns=400000
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_wakeup_granularity_ns=400000
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_features=24188
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_compat_yield=1
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_shares_ratelimit=256000
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_child_runs_first=0
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs=0
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.threads-max=5000
/system/xbin/sysctl -w kernel.sched_features=29
The benefits are immediate, since the common usage!
With this tweak we can also see the improvements in BENCHMARK:
QUADRANT-820 / 835 @ 1.1 ghz
The graphics performance will improve of about 6/7 fps in graphics tests in general, if you will notice now the fps are the same DroidX / 2! So now we have recovered in graphics performance of a generation gap (the score is now penalized from the better processor power in froyo)
NENAMARK-15.5 /16.5 fps
may not seem much (as DroidX/2 here does 21 fps), but the original is 13/13,5 so I had to point out the jump in performance!
I DO NOT BELIEVE in the bench ... they do not reflect real life, but in this case, help you understand how the tweak to kernel leads to a significant improvement of the graphical management, increasing performance
Remember to make a Nandroid backup before so if something goes wrong, everything can be restored

THEMES!
The themes will be applyed via update-nosign.zip, simplifying life A LOT, just apply the update, wait a while to boot and the theme is beautiful and ready! xD
The themes are those that I believe the most beautiful found around Androidlife.de and XDA, not many, just the original and other 6, but I hope you enjoy! Let me know if you want to see other subjects and apply them: D
Theme 1: BlackDroid --->% battery
Theme DroidX but in "dark" also includes apk for the completion of the theme (dealers, contacts etc) ADVICE adw + launcher theme! the effect is garanteed! (Although with launcher pro makes his slut figure: D)
BlackDroid-update-nosign.zip
here is a screenshot

Theme 3: Simple DroidX theme! ->% Battery
Themed Droid2 / X, original, well-integrated with the android, no custom applications, just the framework and services.jar
DroidX-update-nosign.zip
Screenshot:

Theme 4: GalaxyS Theme
Could not miss one of the most beautiful and simple: the galaxy theme is a complete theme that involves pop-up icons load etc. etc., this version replaces LAUNCHER PRO WITH LAUNCHER TouchWiz, hope you like ^ _ ^
-update-galaxyS nosign.zip
Theme 5: flatblack Theme ->% battery
A very simplistic theme lol ... a black bar with percentages, transparent curtain and stop, a simple framework for non-res custom search extreme, but just fresh up the look ^ _ ^
flatblack-update-nosign.zip
Theme 6: Sense theme
NEW! completely new! With personalized system apps, widget skin! Personalized bootanimation! WORNDERFUL!
Download → Sense-update-nosign.zip
Credits
BACKUP!
For those wishing to go back:
Original-update-nosign.zip
WORKS ONLY FOR THE FRAMEWORK AND THE SERVICES, ANY THEME WITH CUSTOM APPLICATIONS, they will remain that way THEN MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
BOOTANIMATIONS
So given that I fingerprint This Rom on extreme personalization (not only MINE but YOUR personalization!) I'll give you now all bootanimation I have xD and the most beautiful that I think, having already thought about this opportunity there is a small script included (already from v1 : p) that is just right for the situation ^ _ ^
The bootanimation I'm providing you are inside the folder with their name I recommend you: unzip the folder, NOT FURTHER Unzip, BOOTANIMATION.ZIP should remain so!
Put the file you want bootanimation.zip the root of sd (/ SDCard)
Open the terminal
ste and type two lines: D
Code:
su
switchba
DONE!!!
Easy you see?? XD
At nex reboot you'll see the bootanimation you've chosen! (Man I wasn't able to do easyer than that! LOL)
so here the bootanimations!
Bios.zip → The one of the First 2 releases
BrightDroid.zip-> Very Nice, simple but of effect! (a simple android with a light on the back that becomes stronger during the boot)
Droid2.zip-> original droid 2
DroidX.zip-> Original droid X
Droid-Does.zip-> The one that's on the rom by default, BEAUTIFUL! a Droid-Does that ends with the DroidX eye, IN BLUE!
htc.zip->we cannot let to miss nothing Original HTC queitly brilliant!
RESOLUTION HACK
This hack allows Android to Trick and make him believe we have a higher resolution screen now:
It can bring incompatibilities with older applications to. solve,go in spare parts, remove the "compatibility mode" and do a reboot, so everything will work perfectly!
Download this update.zip,will flash the new build.prop for the new resolution!
Resolution-hack-update-nosign.zip
(an amatorial estimation lol to me seems to emulate 1024x600 because seems to have space similar to the galaxy tab XD)
To who wants to undo the Resolution Hack ->
Resolution-restore-update-nosign.zip
Boys remember (then do not say I did not warn you xD) the hack is great because the screen really makes it much more capable of giving us information (quantitatively more) but it is also true that some applications may not react well despite the compatibility mode is off!
Simply because not all applications can support a resolution so high (like that emulated)
<<<UPDATE>>>
Recommend using this hack through the appropriate menu in ANDROIDIANI OPEN RECOVERY by ME and AZHAD: offers many different sets and does not want the flash of full build.prop but only the change of a line, I leave here the download for those unwilling to use the Recovery (RECOMMENDED TO USE FRO THIS ROM)
THX and Hope you like this ROM !!!
I really like to see another flavour of Rom available making it as fast and stable as possible Thanks for the post, i'll flash it now and see how it goes I've got high hopes for this Rom.

thank you very much
let me know if there is any problem
Sounds great, will give it a try.
One question though, since you put LauncherPro in /system/app, this means we can't update it through market, correct?

the market recognize it to me
if not you can simply reinstall it from the market, nothing happens (apart the fact that now the apk is in /data/app) and is surely recognized from the market
Because of the setup of this rom, do I need to use SetCpu to manage the cpu or will this rom and its modifications do it for me?

You mean the frequencies or the governor?
both are set by default as 1100/750/500/250 conservative at boot set cpu may help you to see the temperature or the profiles, but the governor and the clock is automatic
I Don't use set cpu or any cpu controller indeed

how about battery life? i'm a bit concerned about this

I used a hig clock, but apart from the 1,1ghz state (wich can be changed with the overclock app) all values are undervolted and consumes less battery, and there is also the conservative governor loaded automatically
the battery life is good to me, 1 day use with normal use (15/18% left in the night) or 15\16 hours with intense use (like 5 hours browsing 3g, gaming and video), using a data toggle widget or a 2g\3g swithc the battery lasts for like 1,5 days TO ME
if 1,1ghz 65vsel is too mutch with the app you can set it to 1ghz 56 vsel wich is the original voltage, so it is sure that the battery will last longer
UPDATE first post!
Now for who wish better battery life, does not wanto to go 1,1ghz, want a different clock, I've posted easy update-nosign.zip to be applied from GOT recovery (under miscellaneus then apply update) they can be flashed even after the nandroid restore, before the first boot for who wish xD
New steps, more overclock or less overclock for all tastes hihiihi
Let me know If you like it! And obviously what you wish to have in This ROM!
Thx Guys
maybe some screenshots or some benchmark scores ?
Yeah I was tinking to post some bench but they are only for the 1.1ghz version...
I will post some in the evening
Screenshot: its vanilla android without theme with launcher pro nothing more xD

Great ROM, love the modification u make..but the default OC make my miley loop boot on M logo, so after flash ur Rom/Mod i flash other OC zip file from u (800 Mhz), works flawlessy...
Sugestion : make theming, i would like to see a status without battery indicator, coz i use seidio 2600 mAh and the battery report uncorrectly...
Was thinking to themes I will work on it, right now I'm working on a more technical part (compcache and 2D lag) that will improve a LOT the performances (if I'll succeed to make them work of course
)

Hi, can you please tell what radio band is used for this ROM? or which official rom this is based on?
Thank you for the work.

Sorry my fault I forgot to mention it … :-(
It.s the 2.36 wind ita
so uses the european baseband... if anyone have troubles with basebands, you may see the Dexter's page with all basebands update-nosign.zip and flash them.

Eheheh unfortunatly it's not so easy, the 2d is not possible to resolve until we'll have another library (like from the final milestone2 FW)
The compcache is a bit complicated, but the modules are on the way and the testing will start suddently I return home

DamageControl v3.1.2 - http://www.damagedroms.com
FULL Flash support, JIT, DConfig, Bug Reporter, ROM Manager, 4G, much more
I am proud to present DamageControl ROM for the HTC Evo! The ROMs our team releases are always focused on stability, speed, and ease of use. My partner, TrevE and I, continue to present ROMs that are easy to update through an application that is bundled with the ROM, DCUpdater (based upon cm-updater). We also have bundled applications that let you modify advanced Android settings as well as other applications that will let you customize advanced settings of the ROM.
Another application that we bundle is an application that lets you submit bugs. This way, you can get personal help in problems you have with the ROM!
We usually release new ROMs every two-to-three weeks.
We have found that with our tweaks, that battery life has greatly improved. From our results, we have had much more than sufficient battery life. We have also sped some things up a bit, and made other small tweaks.

*Just so everyone's clear DConfig modifies the WAY the kernel handles stuff. It is not a new compiled kernel nor have we
claimed it to be.
You can read up on some of these settings we're playing with here:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/wp/performancetuning/rhel4_vm.pdf
v3.1
**You must be using toasts latest root method for this to work properly. Recomended you flash latest radio as well**
*2 versions now, odexed/deodexed. -
Some people have a preference so we're including both, theres been plenty of argument on what's better/faster
deodexed makes apks "portable" but takes up more space and is needed if you want skins.
odexed has a quicker first boot but skins cannot be applied.
-Initial version of dconfig for evo included
-Added HTCmusic back in
-Added RomManager
-Firstboot zipalign of /system/ and uid fix (first boot will take awhile, just wait it out & watch logcat)
-updated vending

-permissions on /system/bin/ip set to fix 4g isuses
-some skins are back, checkout DCUpdater! We will be adding more as we get to it - if you want to see your themes in
dcupdater contact us!
-Updated wifitether to 2.05-pre2
-dcupdater
-added in dconfig backend. (gui needs a little rework, back next version). Dont mess with /system/etc/dc.conf much
unless you know what your doing
-few kernel tweaks set to try to help out battery. tuned dirty writes, dalvik cache, scheduler & more.
-wifitether/geniewidget/3d gallery w/MT
-Updated DCUpdater
-ROM Manager
-Added our website bookmark by default!
v3.0
-piratemedia music apk with rotate, gesture controls + more widgets

-added quickboot
-removed stock, flikr, footprints, gsd due to being battery hogs
-added busybox, auto zipalign of /data/app/, dcpowertop (run from adb shell to see wakeups), plus more goodies...
-Updated DCUpdater
-ROM Manager
-Our website is now bookmarked by default

dc 3.2.3
Mirror http://www.4shared.com/file/0Qsusd3V/DamageControlv323_deodexed.html
LWP FIX - &postcount=4676
-Newer versions of System APK including youtube (fixes hd issue), 3D Gallery with multitouch EVERYWHERE, rotation, and camera resolution limit removed + MORE!
-updated wifitether to 2.0.5-pre2 (infrastructure mode) and moved to data for easy updates
-Added new option in dconfig to renice system processes. Causes important stuff to be last to be swapped out, makes for lower ring delay/mms delay when phones sleeping and less cpu load if it is swapped out and needed.
Its a ghetto implementation right now, it runs it on first boot only. If processes DO get killed/startup with different PID settings go away.
-New battery saver profile. If you had this profile before you will be shunted down to usercofig. Resave with battery saver to use new settings.
-DConfig backend work
-Fixed some symlinks
-Flash Tweaks
-Audio tweaks (FLAC and more)
-live wallpapers tweaked
-some protection against future ota updates without resigning apks. (Dcupdater > Sprint rootkilling updates)

-JIT Stability fixes. Its still not perfect but getting better:
Using gr0gmint's new modified JIT dll's (thank man). This may work with sense but its way more stable without. More @ ?t=684535
(for this build JIT is always visable next to the profile dropdown. Be careful with it, kinda gotta rethink how this form looks/works.
If you enable JIT use the checkbox on the mainscreen, choose a battery profile & press reset. It will configure your heap & banned apps for you. If you still have JIT issues try boosting heap in DConfig up to 48m)
-Apps2SD - Disabled by default, but Apps & Dalvik moves to sd are supported in this build, read post 2 for everything you need to know. Audio & Text to sd build has been given out to testers. (coming soon)
-Updated DConfig to include options for Apps2SD. Also has profile & banned apps fixes
--Dconfig may work again on hero/other devices with a few dc.conf changes (needs testing)
-Even more battery and performance tweaks along with many backend stability fixes in initial boot script.
-Fixes fsck error checking on boot
-Fixed HTC Widget Download issue with deodexed
-Updated Geniewidget
-Updated google maps

============
PreReqs
============
This rom assumes you are fully rooted with nand unlocked. If you bootloop after flashing try wiping & reflashing. If that doesnt work MAKE SURE YOU ARE NAND UNLOCKED.
I used toast2of2 method, you can do whatever you are comfortable with. Guys over at androidpolice did a writeup on how to flash using DC as an example - Read it here
Also we assume you have nandroided. This is a saving grace if things go wrong. If you have no clue what i just said webs05 wrote a guide over at ?t=710513
========================
4G INFO/HOW TO FLASH
========================
Because DC 3.2.2 or higher is built on OTA update you MUST have proper radio/wimax to use. You should only have to flash with witslacks method ONCE before going to 3.2.2 or higher. If you are already on 3.2.2+ with working 4g just flash update.zip as normal. DC update.zips or nandroids will not touch radios so theory is once your good your good.
Do not flash update.zip's to update radio or wimax itll just give you more problems than its worth. If you used them previously you may also continue to have issues. These are the radio's fault, not DC's. Witslacks PC36IMG-1.47.651.1_eng-hboot_RA-1.7.0.1.zip has been tested/confirmed over and over and the only thing id use.
Instructions-
If you are coming from a previous version of DC make a nandroid backup first. Then follow witslacks method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
After you follow his WHOLE process boot to a recovery console. Just use that to flash the DC zip, or restore your nandroid (wont touch radios) After you flash DC update profile/PRL and enjoy 4g.
If you are stuck scanning for 4g
go into adb shell
ls /data/misc/wimax/
look for a file with your macaddress ending in .tree.xml. we want to move that to another location so it gets regenerated.
mv /data/misc/wimax/macaddress.tree.xml /data/misc/wimax/macaddress.tree.xml.orig
-If you still have 4g problems:
see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7020516&postcount=3826 You must verify all your MAC addresses are sane. Also your Username/Pass must be valid.
To give us a 4g error report:
-First tell us if your MAC address has _EVER_ been broken or you used update.zips to update radios
-Have you ran witslacks starting over method?
-What patches have been applied?
-Have you verified your username/password is OK from the above section?
-Have you tried shutting wifi and 4g off, rebooting, then turning just 4g on?
- turn 4g off. reboot the phone. run
adb logcat
and grab everything from turning your radio on to where it fails to connect.
- now run
adb shell dmesg
grab the end output from that where 4g turns on. (sequansd stuff)
- now do
adb shell
# ls -l /data/misc/wimax/
find the .tree file. What are your permissions on it? (information on left hand side before file name)

====================
Known Issues
====================
this has been stated over 9000 times YOU MUST BE FULLY NAND UNLOCKED TO USE THIS!! If you arent you will have bootloops/other issues.
*Lockscreen - When you remove HTCLockscreen the vanilla one is broken up to 3.2.3. Proper fixes are now in DCUpdater
*DCUpdater FC will occur if you have your SDCard mounted or it cannot write to the fat32 partition for some reason. Just unmount your card.
*Clockwork Recovery - clockwork recovery does not play nice with dcupdater. You will end up in a different part of recovery with a green arrow or android guys skating.
If your using clockwork just press update later after dcupdater downloads update reboot into recovery and manually apply the update from /sdcard/dcupdater/updates
*JIT Stability. Working better in 3.2.1+ let me know how latest is.
*Themes from 3.2.1 and previous may not work in 3.2.2. They will cause a com.htc.bg crash.
*Wireless N in 3.2.2+ its enabled by default by sprint. DO NOT ENABLE THIS OPTION IN DCONFIG OR WIFI WILL NOT WORK
====================
Odex vs Deodex
====================
Theres plenty of debate over what is faster/better to use, im not going to take sides in this one. This is just information about what the differences in the two are, try for yourself.
Deodex basically takes the odex file and stuffs it into the apk as a classes.dex. First boot it dissembles the file into /dalvik-cache (i believe). Now there is basically 2 copies of the odex, one in the apk one in cache. This makes it "portable". This allows modders to work on the apks & easily change stuff. If you want themes or stuff like lockscreen fixes you MUST use Deodex.
Odex is how things come stock. It takes up less room but making modifications or taking apks from other roms is hard. You cannot use themes with this version!! To see odex in dcupdater you must go to menu -> configuration -> rom update settings -> display all roms & display experimental roms. Its marked experimental to avoid confusion because themes in dcupdater will not work with it.
DC 3.2 after fresh wipe without setting sync accts up and no a2sd:
Odex - 374 MB free
Deodex - 329 MB free
====================
General Stuff
====================
-Themes are trickling into DCUpdater. They will only work with the DEODEXED rom. Same with lockscreen fix.
-Firstboot script will cause phone to sit on white HTC EVO 4G screen if you are upgrading for a few minutes. Watch logcat if your paranoid.
-Do not use SetCPU if you are on the stock HTC kernel (perflock on kernel) it will just cause issues. If you have a modded one go ahead
-No need for taskkillers with lowmemkiller. Really just cause more issues than their worth.
-If your accounts & sync FC after upgrading from another rom you can try to do the following but be warned you will need to resync everything
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/system/accounts.db
adb reboot
Hackvan sent me a heads up to a fix that does not require you to resync from thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7159566
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/system
echo 'delete from accounts where type LIKE "com.htc%";' |sqlite3 accounts.db
-it really helps us if you can reproduce FC's to restart phone, reproduce issue without doing anything else first then use send bug report.
-this rom has so many configurations now its hard to keep up. When posting an issue please make sure you have checked post 2 & be as detailed as possible
(Deodexed/Odexed/DConfig Settings/Skins or other Update.zips applied)
============
Powertop
============
powertop will also reveal stuff hogging wakeups. The less wakeups you have the better battery life will be.
The main thing you will want to diagnose is wakeups when the screen is off and the phone idle. Shut your screen off when connected to usb and wait about 30 seconds, then run
Code:
adb shell dcpowertop
Your wakeups should be around 50-80. If your higher than that you could have a problem. If you see something there in question try to run the following to find what apk the thread belongs to:
adb shell top -n 1 -t

a powertop example of tracking down an apk can be seen over at &postcount=2502
==============
Other Battery Tips
==============
-If you wipe data to start new with rom you are also wiping your battery stats so things can get out of whack. Cyanogen has a good howto on battery calibration
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Troubleshooting#Battery_recalibration
-Turn off rotation. the akm8973 driver seems to be a hog when screen is on. even tho i loved rotation in helix i get much better battery life with it off.
-If you sync stuff constantly try jumping on wifi where possible. Also 4g is a powerhog keep it off if not using it.
-in accounts and sync disable background data if you dont have any mission critical data that sync.
-Make sure you are not at 100% awake time. in settings -> about phone -> battery the awake time should be less than up time (unless your plugged into usb). If its the same wipe data reflash and add your apps one by one.
-The battery use screen in 'settings -> about phone -> battery' is a bit limited. Things like a high time without a signal can cause battery drain.
-I also like checking the the "advanced" battery use screen. Open a dialer and dial the code below. Then go to battery history. Partial wake usage usually shows more information on whats hogging wake. Sensor/GPS/Network/CPU is also revealing sometimes, these all eat battery.
Code:
*#*#4636#*#*
-Use an app such as OSMonitor from market to check out whats using CPU in realtime
-Apply battery saver config in dconfig. If its too slow for you turn the sampling rate down one.
============
Themes
============
- Here is a preview of just some of the items in dcupdater. we will link back to the original themers thread below if you have problems with the theme start there.
More will be coming, if you want to see your themes here or in DCUpdater contact me!
-I have done a bunch of lockscreen fixes. They are now in DCUpdater. They should be 100% working now. We have rotary lockscreens with time and without and the regular vanilla lockscreen. Right now the versions only will show your desktop background (lwp included) there will be a cleared version shortly.
*Konikub has done a bunch of awesome themes. His full color themes for dc is over @ ?t=706333 Great stuff from the hero days. He also has a white taskbar theme to flashontop of Aloysis and an Espresso theme!
*GODZSON did some clear HTCClockWidget's over @ ?p=6542626&postcount=4

Kernels -
========
These are for people who know what they are doing. Please dont even attempt to use this if you dont know what they do. YOU ARE FLASHING THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK DONT BLAME ME WHEN YOU NEED TO WIPE OR WORSE YOUR DEVICE EXPLODES! If you read this and think freekin sweet these kernels are for you. If your scared just continue on and DO NOT FLASH.
DO NOT flash any kernel that has not been specifically modded for DC. It WILL cause issues, especially with wifi and or DConfig (it will look like it makes changes but nothing will happen)
Stock Kernels-
(these are here incase you want to go back to stock dc after flashing a modded kernel. They are not needed otherwise. they should fully revert any custom kernel/modules/wifi)
OTA DC Kernel with firmware & modules (DC 3.2.2 and higher 2.6.29-789bf291)

PRE OTA DC Kernel (from DC 3.2.1 and lower) - http://dl.damagedroms.com/3.0/OriginalStock_dc_kernel_signed.zip
Modded Kernels- These have just been patched to work with DC. Please direct any questions to the kernel cooker.

DConfig Guide
====================
**DCONFIG IS GETTING A MAKEOVER. EXCUSE THE SLOPPY LOOKS FOR NOW**
Dconfig has been redone for release 3.1, for those of you that are new to this it allows you to customize many settings usually not visible to the end user. You can kill your battery fast or put it into a powersaving mode at the expense of performance or anything in between. This will help you choose the right settings for yourself. Alot has changed since this project began - If you want to read more about where dconfig started from or about the backend(alittle outdated but still pretty right) you can checkout the original post ?t=670098
Dconfig home:
-Performance Profiles. These are a new option to set up the Advanced Tweak settings with some defaults ive tested with. It will overwrite your settings there.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Dconfig Apps2SD:
Controls app2sd settings on boot. To get this to work you must have a SD card formatted with at least a ext/fat32 partition. Swap can be set to 0 unless you want swapping (not really needed on evo)
EXT2 vs EXT3 - Journeling. wiki it, Is it really needed? probably not
Move Apps- Disabled by default. moves /data/app/ and /data/app-private/ to /system/sd/app & app-private. May impact battery life slightly. You can confirm its enabled by running the following:
adb shell
cd /data/app/
pwd
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It should return /system/sd/app/
Move Dalvik- Disabled by default.
Do not enable unless you have a faster SD card. You may get random reboots if your card is too slow
This moves /data/dalvik-cache/ to /system/sd/dalvik-cache. Dalvik-cache is usually somewhere between 50 - 100mb. Seems to have a more significant battery impact than just moving apps.
adb shell
cd /data/dalvik-cache/
pwd
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It should return /system/sd/dalvik-cache/
Move Texts- Moves textmessage DB to /system/sd/. Nice because you can wipe and keep texts.
Move Audio- Moves ringtones off to /system/sd/. I prefer this method rather than putting them on fat32 partition because they still work if you have SD mounted and get a call.
*Things to think about with A2SD*
If your using a2sd & wipe your /data/partition and not your EXT you could run into problems with permissions on /data/app-private/ apps. After wipe of data & flash if you bootloop try to wipe your protected apps and just redownload them from market
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/app-private/*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
IF the above doesnt work you win a ext wipe.
Dconfig Basic:
*options here are generally considered "safe".
Zipalign- is recommended. Gives a nice boost with loading apps and when loading app icons (scrolling through app tray and on main screen)
SD swapping adds swap ram- evo probably shouldnt enable this.
DalvikHeap- Stock evo is 24, 32 is what i use it on mainly, 48 is probably not needed. Space java objects are stored, has a direct effect on how much RAM apps use.
LowMemKiller - Eliminates need for taskkillers. Lets android system close out of apps when RAM gets low, 150MB seems to be a nice spot.
Wireless N - Enables or disables chuckhriczko wireless N patch. May consume more battery
Dconfig Advanced:
*These options all effect low level stuff. Play with caution:
JIT - Just in Time compilation- Speeds CPU execution up quite a bit on evo but does not play well with all apps. See the JIT section below for instructions.
UpThreshold- % Where the CPU clocks up to the next speed. 95% is default and saves battery. If you go lower CPU will clock up faster so performance will be better but faster cpu == lower battery life.
SamplingRate- How often the CPU checks load. lower number checks more often so system will be more peppy when cpu is needed but checking more often drains battery faster.
DirtyBG/Dirty ratio - what % of memory can get dirty before writing it out. Higher the % the more battery will last because kernel is writing less often. I have not played much with higher values but would not go much more than say 10/20.
DirtyWriteback/DirtyExpire - How often to check for dirty stuff. 1500/600 seems good.
Advanced part2
Laptop_Mode-Tries to delay kernel buffer disk activities as long as possible. Still trying to confirm if our kernel supports it, turn it on if you want to test
vfs_cache_pressure- Lower trys to retain dentry and inodes. Higher flushes them. 100 is fair balance. We have not found a sweet spot yet, but try testing between 10 - 40.
OOM Kill allocating Task - If checked kernel will kill task causing OOM events. If unchecked it will kill other processes to make way for the hog. Havent played with this much..
Banned apps:
Lets you customize whats loaded in the rom. Moves stuff you dont want to /system/app/dcbanned/ After your comfortable with results if your sure you never want to go back you can
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm -r /system/app/dcbanned/
When you first ban sense it will check off all sense components on the screen. You can uncheck additional components as you wish.
Some Things to think about
When you ban the HTCLockScreen default is to ban worldclock as well and unban Deskclock (if checked) Reason is if you use the vanilla lockscreen with an alarm in worldclock you will be unable to disable your alarm. As anything else you can enable it if you really want.
If you ban friendstream but not facebook you must turn off "Sync Live Feed" in settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Facebook for HTC Sense or else you will perma sync.
JIT Section
Just too much info about JIT so ill move it down here.
*There are some apps that may not work with JIT, that is why this is under advanced. If your not experienced do not use this.*
nebenezer posted some good recomended settings for JIT over at &postcount=4143
-JIT uses more memory i would recommend bumping dalvik heap up to atleast 32.
-JIT & banned apps. These are the recommended settings. They will be set automatically if you turn JIT on in the profiles screen, choose a performance option in dropdown and press apply. Just reboot after. If you do it yourself in advanced these options will NOT be set you will have to do it
Code:
Sense,
HTC Lockscreen,
DCUpdater (causes some hang in system on startup :( )
HTC Worldclock,
All sprint apps
Twitter and friendstream for sure (facebook seems to be ok).
-To Test if JIT is on:
few ways to do it, my favorite is to run the following then open up some applications. You should see "Total arena pages for JIT:" followed by a number scroll by as apps open.
adb shell
logcat|grep JIT
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-If you end up crashing hard you can disable JIT with:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/data/com.damaged.DConfig/dc.conf

Glad to see you both are developing for the evo. Loved you r roms on the hero
Oooooo snap, Ima have to check this out fo sho. Thanks for all the hard work!

As a married man myself, I once gave a friend a paper shredder for his wedding. The note on the box of the shredder said. "I wanted you to have a safe place to store your marriage license" she was not amused.
Glad to see you making the switch to the Evo! Running your final Hero rom on my Hero, and a overclock ... and it is amazing.
My only request was to have the Espresso theme ported over. I know Treve had a release that worked prior to your final Hero rom.
If you need to use my mirror still let me know.
Im so glad to see damage on here here. along with flip along with eveyrone else from the HTC Hero days.. Damage roms are always great. with great battery life..
I know those that rooted with the other meth is really pissed right now..
Re: [ROM] DamageControl v3.0 | Fast, Improved battery life, tweaks
This is just amazing¡ just booted it off the bat I noticed it fixed my scrolling lag that was killing me before. I cant wait to give the battery a test tomorrow.
Do we need to calibrate battery in recovery like we did on hero?

2. Just because the kernel is capable of higher clock speeds DOES NOT mean every device will handle them.
3. DO NOT gripe or complain and trash my thread if you're device doesn't support anything past 1.2GHz. I WILL NOT increase the voltages anymore past recommended specifications.
4. DO NOT get mad or get your feelings hurt if I tell you to read the original post (OP) instead of answering your question. It means I have already answered it here OR I felt your question(s) needed to be answered in the OP and updated it accordingly.
5. DO a complete nandroid backup in ClockworkMod BEFORE flashing the kernel or messing with the undervolt settings. Setting values too low CAN cause data corruption. Simply restore your backup that I know you just made. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
6. BY DEFAULT the ONLY active frequencies are 100MHz, 200MHz, 400MHz, 600MHz, 800MHz, and 1000MHz. In order for the device to use higher frequencies they must be specifically enabled. If you install the kernel you will NOT be automatically overclocked.
7. The kernel should work with any rom EXCEPT Stock EC05 that is converted to EXT4 AND is NOT deodexed. This is a known issue I am looking into.
8. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take time to read and search this thread before asking questions. I am not a baby sitter and I should not have to spend my time answering the same questions over and over and over again as it takes time away from me improving the kernel or working on my other projects. If you see some one ask a question that has already been answered please do not flame them. It would help me greatly if you could take 5 seconds to answer them or link them to the post with the appropriate answer.
NOTE: If you are going to overclock I personally recommend you UNINSTALL SetCPU and set your max with Voltage Control or by hand.
Installation:
Download the kernel and flash with ClockworkMod.
How to Dual Boot:
Information on dual booting can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15378860
Easy Overclock/Undervolt Method:
Setting up your frequencies:
Required software: Voltage Control by xan http://devphone.org/files/epic4g/kernels/VoltageControl_3.0.apk
1. Backup your device in ClockworkMod and flash the kernel. If you get messed up or confused just reboot your device to undo the changes.
2. After flashing the kernel, uninstall SetCPU and install Voltage Control (VC).
3. Open VC and hit 'States' at the bottom to open the States drawer.
4. Enable your desired frequencies and hit the menu button and 'Apply for now' (DO NOT 'Save as boot settings')
5. Hit 'States' to retract the States drawer.
6. Leave the Scheduler as 'cfq' and change Limit clock to your desired max frequency.
7. Hit the menu button and 'Apply for now' (DO NOT 'Save as boot settings' unless you are 110% sure the settings are stable and you have adequately tested)
Setting up your personal undervolt settings: (Caution: When figuring out your maximum undervolt settings there is a good chance you will get some data corruption so make sure your backup in ClockworkMod is up to date)
1. Open VC and select the desired frequency you wish to undervolt.
2. The green slider goes in increments of -25mV so select that first and take note of the frequency and value. (It is important when testing that you reduce the voltage ONE step at a time)
3. Hit the menu button and 'Apply for now'
4. Test the device's stability THOROUGHLY before you move the slider down any further. See the FAQ below for tips on testing stability.
5. If you feel it is stable then repeat this process and move the slider down one step, write it down, and THOROUGHLY test.
6. When your device freezes or starts acting weird then you know that value is too much and you should use your previously stable value.
Repeat this process for each of the other frequencies you wish to undervolt. When you feel you have the stable values that you are comfortable with, open VC and apply your stable values and THOROUGHLY test your device again. After you do all of this, make sure you are 110% certain of the stability before you 'Save as boot settings' and remember you may need to restore your ClockworkMod backup before setting up your final values to ensure no data corruption.
Advanced Overclock/Undervolt Method:
Required software: Working 'adb shell' or terminal emulator
There is NO hand holding here. Make sure you read the Easy Method to familiarize yourself with the process! If you don't know what you are doing then DO NOT attempt this method. If you get messed up or confused just reboot your device to undo the changes.
Enable active states: echo "0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/states_enabled_table
Accepted values are 0 and 1. All ten values must be set and this example enables 1200000 to 100000.
Set maximum frequency: echo "1200000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
Accepted values are 1400000, 1300000, 1200000, 1120000, 1000000, 800000, 600000, 400000, 200000, and 100000.
Set minimum frequency: echo "200000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
Accepted values are 1400000, 1300000, 1200000, 1120000, 1000000, 800000, 600000, 400000, 200000, and 100000.
Set undervolt values: echo "0 0 0 0 25 50 0 0 0 0" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table
Values are in millivolts. Accepted values are 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200. DO NOT USE NEGATIVE NUMBERS. All ten values must be set.
This example applies a -25mV at 1000000 and -50mV undervolt at 800000.
To set your values on boot once you find what is stable creat a file name S_volt_scheduler with the following contents and change the values accordingly:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#set UV
echo "0 0 0 0 25 50 0 0 0 0 " > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table
echo 1200000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
#select enabled states
echo "0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 " > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/states_enabled_table
#set scheduler for stl, bml and mmc
for i in `ls /sys/block/stl*` /sys/block/bml* /sys/block/mmcblk*
do
echo "cfq" > $i/queue/scheduler
done
Put the file in /etc/init.d/ to apply the settings when the device boots.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Q. Why isn't my device stable at higher clock speeds?
A. Many processors are cut at a time from one big wafer of silicon and other materials by the manufacturer. No two processors are exactly the same. From a cost stand point these chips are designed to yield a certain percentage of working chips at given specifications. These chips are made to withstand specific currents and voltages. When we exceed the currents and voltages the chips are designed to handle some will fail.
Q. What else can I try if I can't run the higher frequencies?
A. There is not a whole lot you can do. Some things I would suggest is make sure SetCPU is uninstalled. It has been reported SetCPU can cause some stability issues. Another option is to try different roms. Other than that there isn't much you can do. Sorry.
Q. Do you plan on pushing past 1.4GHz?
A. No. I do not plan to push any higher than 1.4GHz. Why? I am not going to push the higher voltages that would be required to go any higher. Please don't bother asking me to.
Q. What are some good ways to test stability while I am figuring out what undervolts my device can handle?
A. The best way to test stability is going to be setting your max frequency to the frequency you are testing and run benchmark programs like SmartBench that test multiple areas of your device. I recommend spending atleast 5-10 minutes running benchmarks and doing other tasks before you decide a given undervolt is stable.
Q. Help I was messing with the undervolts and now I get force closes (FC). What can I do?
A. This is why you made a backup in ClockworkMod. Setting voltage too low can corrupt your data and cause programs to FC. Typically you can reinstall the program or clear the applications data to fix it. As a last resort (and recommended to do anyway after you find your stable values) is to restore your backup from ClockworkMod.
Q. Why can't I use SetCPU?
A. You can use SetCPU, how ever I do not recommend it as it can cause conflicts. I am not going to support using it but if you get it working for you then by all means. I have no problems with the program or it's author and I think it is a great program but it just isn't needed and can make things tricky to get working correctly.
Q. How can I tell what frequencies I will benefit most undervolting or if they are even working?
A. There are two ways. The easy way is to install CPU Spy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011497. The advanced way is to 'cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state'
Q. What are the default voltages for the avialable frequencies?
A. 1400000 @ 1375 mV WARNING: above recommended voltage
1300000 @ 1325 mV WARNING: above recommended voltage
1200000 @ 1300 mV
1120000 @ 1300 mV
1000000 @ 1275 mV
800000 @ 1200 mV
600000 @ 1175 mV
400000 @ 1050 mV
200000 @ 950 mV
100000 @ 950 mV
Q. I have enabled 100MHz but I can not scale down to 100MHz. Why?
A. By default the kernel sets 200MHz minimum. In order to scale down to 100MHz you can flash this script to set 100MHz on boot http://devphone.org/files/epic4g/kernels/Genocide_set_min_100MHz.zip or add this line to /system/etc/init.d/S_volt_scheduler:
Code:
echo "100000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
Q. How do I change the governor with terminal emulator or adb shell?
A. See the answer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13118624&postcount=1705
Q. This kernel has Voodoo Sound but I don't hear a difference. What gives?
A. There are indeed changes but to look at the settings and adjust the volume, download Voodoo Control App from the Market. I highly encourage people to donate to supercurio as he has done some awesome modification and more of his mods will find their way into this kernel soon!
Q. What is this flashing android on top of my boot animation now? How do I fix it?
A. On a stock rom, enabling boot animation support in the kernel plays the default boot animation (flashing android logo) over top of Samsung's own boot animation. Check out this thread to get rid of the flashing android or clear Samsung's animation for your custom animations.
Q. How do I enable CIFS support?
A. From 'adb shell' or a terminal emulator type 'insmod /lib/modules/cifs.ko'
Q. How do I enable TUN support?
A. From 'adb shell' or a terminal emulator type 'insmod /lib/modules/tun.ko'
Q. How come there is no frame rate increase?
A. The current method to increase the frame rate is by bumping up the LCD refresh rate. While I am told it should not break the LCD I decided it would be best to not mess with this setting for now until we find some proper documentation on the LCD in our devices. The documentation is kept under tight wraps and requires a signed non disclosure agreement for access.
Q. How do I set the timer delay for mkasick's keyboard patch?
A. Please refer to his post on more information about the keyboard patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975611
A2. theimpaler747 has suggested a lower default value for the keyboard patch and has provided flashable scripts to set it lower. Please refer to his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025533 (If reports are good I will bump this down to the default value on my next release)
Q. I don't want to overclock or undervolt. Can I still use the kernel and will it automatically overclock/undervolt my device?
A. Yes you can absolutely still use the kernel. The default frequencies are 200MHz - 1000MHz at stock voltages. This will not change until you change it yourself.
Q. I flashed a different kernel and I lost root. What gives?
A. Root is now included in the kernel. If you flash a kernel that does not have root built-in then you will need to re-root.
Q. I didn't read or my settings became unstable after setting them on boot. Now my phone freezes when it boots up. What can I do?
A. You have two options. Option 1 is to restore your ClockworkMod backup that I KNOW you did before you started. Or option 2 flash this file with ClockworkMod to erase the boot settings: http://devphone.org/files/epic4g/kernels/Genocide_undervolt_recovery.zip
Q. Where are your sources?
A. Kernel sources can be found here: https://github.com/Rodderik/Genocide-Kernel
Q. Where can I find the link to download the kernel already?
A. After you have read everything, check the next post for links and changelogs.
If you like what I've done please consider a donation. I'm usually not one to ask for donations but it's pretty difficult finding a job for me right now so I'm doing what I can.
Please share your undervolt settings so I can compile and recommend a 'safe' starting point to help future flashers. Thanks.
Many thanks to DRockstar, nubecoder, gzub, supercurio, tanimn, mkasick, DevinXtreme, thomasskull666, nullghost, existz, rasdeep, and any other devs that I have forgotten. I apologize in advance. If you feel you deserve credit for something then please PM me and we will get the situation solved quickly.

If for some reason you want to revert back to the kernel that came with your rom you have two options. Before reverting back, I would suggest that you use SetCPU to lock in 1GHz to take advantage of the slight undervolt at 1GHz to save a little more battery. But if you insist the first option is to download and flash one of the following kernels based off which rom you are running:
VIPERrom DK28 RFS/EXT4 Modded Kernel HERE
Bonsai4all DK28 EXT4 Modded Kernel HERE (this includes roms based off of Bonsai as well)
The second option is to be 100% sure you get the right kernel back is to download either zip above and place the zImage into the kernel folder with 7zip. Typically the zImage can be found in your rom of choice's zip under /kernel or /kernel_update.

What are your scores for Frankenstein? ...cuz i know you're ROM comes stock like 98MB or something like that ...so it's already quick as Puff-N-Stuff lol
ViperCom?
Why didn't ViperCom show this kernel being available?
edit--EST--5:03am--just saw in ViperCom-Thanks!!!
Thanks, this is really fast. Any chance of someone compiling the browser from it as well? The ones we have are sort of hacky.

id love to see a vid, time lapse or something, of you unfolding this kernel into rich goodness. I'm very interested to learn more about how this works. Maybe start a xda webinar for those wanting to get the skills down...imagine where that could take us, having more educated folks pumping time into creative dev.

backing up and installing now, is it possible to post or get a link to the stock trinity 2.0 kernel incase we run into errors later on ?
It's been so long since I've had a custom kernel I almost forgot what it felt like!
Runs beautifully on Nebula rom. Actually logged in on my browser just to send you a thanks.

Now don't need to change gps.conf for your country.This will work for almost all countries.(Though if you need faster satellite lock then use gps.conf from above link)
SMARTASSV2 is now default governer.(Tweaked for better battery life)
Disabled journalism
Some changes in init.d script.
Updated SuperSU.
Re-added accessibility settings so that people can disable hanging of call by pressing power button.
Some newer libs from the v10H
Some build.props.
Version 3.2:
Added LG Hidden menu.
Better integration of busybox
Changed OOM and lowmemorykiller values
Fixed an issue with Bluetooth which was causing FC on file receive
Removed zipalign and sqlite optimization as they are not needed to run at every boot.Added scripts that will allow user to manually zipalign and sqlite vacuuming.To do so, you'll need terminal emulater.Type su to obtain superuser right then run any command listed below.Run both commands periodically for best performance.
zalignx: It will zipalign all apks on your device.(Running it first time will cause many FCs and will remove icons from the launcher, dont worry just reboot device)
vac: It will optimize all the databases on the device.(credits to zeppelinrox)
Version 3.5:
Various bugs fixed,Performance improved.
Added some stock apps for better compability.Removed LG keyboard,added stock gingerbread keyboard.Some essentials apps added like setcpu,terminal emu....
Redesigned statusbar brightness slider.Now looks better.
Removed silly init.d scripts which were causing delay in booting.Now only some essential scripts are there.
Reverted to stock OOM and lowmemorykiller levels as the previous values were too aggressive for multi tasking.
Now more smoothness in launcher and scrolling.
Added xpaum's kernel as default.For more features of kernel look here.
Fixed battery drain.Thanks to .xxx. for reporting.
Turned off button LED for power saving.See below fore more details.
Sweep2wake is turned off by default.See below fore more details.
Disabled fsync()
Some new commands.(Please type su in terminal before executing any command)
lightson: This will turn on the LED button light.No need to reboot,lights will be turned on on the fly.(although lights will be disabled at every boot)
lightsoff: This will turn off the LED button light on the go.
s2w: This will enable sweep2wake function.(no reboot needed,If you enable s2w then i recommend you to turn LEDs off)
s2woff: Sweep2wake will be turned off on executing this.(no reboot needed,I recommend to turn it off to save battery)
Version 3.6:
Updated various libs and files from v10i
Updated some apps (including Google play as requested by many users)
Added bash and nano (nano will only work in bash.to run it in shell terminfo need to be defined)
Updated xpaum kernel to 0.6
Volume down key will wake up device
Long press back will kill the application (and it will give a notification )
Fixed Bluetooth problem
Better sound while recording video in stock camera app (by Chacha_Ivanov)
Added some widgets from stock ROM
Smarter togglers for sweep2wake,button backlight,GPU OC. Re-written code so that changes in them will stay unchanged even after reboot (for ex. if you'll disable leds then they will remain off even after reboot and vice versa).For smarter toggle,you'll need to execute following codes.Older codes will also work but they'll have temporary effect.and as usual don't forget to gain SU rights (by typing su) before typing any commands.
gpuoc: to toggle GPU Overclock
lights: to toggle softkey lights
toggles2w: to toggle sweep2wake
Decreased time to show up recent applications on long pressing HOME
Version 3.61:
Fixed some critical bugs (also solved problems with wifi and bluetooth hopefully)
Restored LG stock keyboard with all language support
Updated SuperSU
Changed kernel.Now it has modified stock kernel by me.Sorry.Almost all tweaks like faster Auto focus,cache pressure,etc but no sweep2wake and bln support but feel free to flash xpaum's great kernel.Undervolted for better battery life.Use 1200 MHz as max freq. and 386 MHz as min freq as battery drain will same as 245-1024 range due to undervolting.This kernel is still experimental (although i'm using it for 1 month) if you want long lasting battery then stick with it else go for xpaum's kernel.
Version 3.7:
Based on latest v10J firmware
Modified Adreno libs (thanks to andr00ib)
Some new widgets for stock launcher and added some misc files from stock ROM
Latest SuperSU and Google Play Store
Some changes to framework for better performance
Various visual changes to make it more beautiful
Moves bash to bin and set as default
Added CPU settings in settings (actually it'll launch SetCPU.So setcpu is invisible from drawer .If anyone is big fan of setcpu icon then it can be added to desktop via activity short cuts provided in some launchers )
Added Adreno Booster (credits to Spizzy01)
Important note: It is obvious that adreno booster dramatically increases 3d performance but at the cost of huge decrement in Quality.You can notice this in stock gallery app.Also some games lags with adreno booster (like dead trigger) because of texture compression.The only feature of the adreno booster that gives huge increment in performance is forcing to use compressed textures which is implemented via forceAutoTextureCompression=1 in the adreno_config.txt.Compressing of textures makes loading faster but degrades the quality of texture image.Some games lags because CPU takes more time to compress Hi-res textures.So what to choose? Here is what i do.I don't force GPU to compress textures by changing forceAutoTextureCompression=1 to forceAutoTextureCompression=0 in /system/etc/adreno_config.txt. Whenever i play game which lags without compressing,then i changes to forceAutoTextureCompression=1 thanks to qualcomm because this file is loaded whenever you launch 3D application (not sure about this).You can use this for your benefit.Whenever you launch an application which has visual artifacts due to adreno booster then kill that app and change to forceAutoTextureCompression=0 and relaunch it.No reboot is required

Modified toggles.Now no need to execute su first.(only applicable for lights,gpuoc,toggles2w.Still need to execute su before executing zalignx and vac as those scripts are not mine)
Modified zipalign script for better behaviour.now it'll take some more time so be patience.
New Kernel patched up to 2.6.35.14.For more features read below.
Fixed front camera mount angle for v10J chamber
Restored legacy Android boot animation (actually deleted the custom boot animation ).For a custom boot animation rename bootanimation.zip to bootanimation_vdf.zip or remove ro.product.operator=VDF from the build.prop
Some minor things but i don't remember them
Version 3.71:
Solved connectivity issues in previous release.Changed baseband to v10i.
Ubuntu is now default font
Some performance enhancements
Updated Google Play Store to 4.0.27 because older version was keeping CPU busy hence draining battery and degrading performance
Disabled ascending behavior of Ringtone
Added LG Hidden menu in Settings (caution: use them only if you know what you're about to do).SuperSU is also moved to settings
Removed stock gps.conf and added universal one (changeable from romtoolbox)
Removed Adreno Booster as it was causing hiccups in some apps.It can be flashed manually
Some compability fixes
Added tun.ko
No longer need to execute su before using vac and zalignx
Reverted to Stock animations from LG (i was bored with previous one )
Integrated sysro/sysrw.Execute them to easily mount /system as r/w or r/o
Disabled logger from kernel level to save some more RAM.By default it is enabled.Use romtoolbox to set it.
Now it comes with ROM TOOLBOX (not that one available from market).Execute romtoolbox in terminal.You can do everything (enable/disable LED,S2w,logger etc) within it.Actually i was going to create application for it.But my exams are coming next month.So i'll create an app after it.Till then use this toolbox.
Some other things which i don't remember
Version 3.72:
Fixed GPU OC in romtoolbox
Fixed SuperSU
Kernel:
This ROM will work with every kernel that is compatible with Stock ROM.By default it comes with my own kernel (many many thanks to xpaum).But this kernel is still experimental and lacks of sweep2wake.So i'll advice to flash xpaum's latest kernel.Some features of default kernel
Compiled with latest (4.7.3) linaro.
Various optimizations including o3 flags
Better Wifi connectivity (by andr00ib)
Patched upto 2.6.35.14 (from CAF)
Highly undervolted. CPU will use same voltage on 1024 and 1200 and 245 and 368.So same drain on both freqs.So default frequency for this kernel is 1200-368
OC up to 2 GHz (by andr00ib)
ext4 tweaks,cleancache support
built logger as module
Link to HarshGinger Stock kernel ( fully tweaked,linaro 4.7.3)
Link to untouched,pure stock kernel ( not a single tweak,a pure "LG" experience, compiled with latest linaro 4.8.1 )
Source for this kernel is located on my Github (branch dev for e730 and dev_e739 for e739)
THEMES:
ICS THEME
Minimalistic Status bar by Toreton
ICS Statusbar and Settings by NemesisQ3A
Change Lock Screen Wallpaper
Accessories:
Transition animation pack by InfusionNSK (Just some cool animations.Not flashable.Unzip it first.It has flashable zip files)
Beats Audio (Modified by me because AROMA installer don't work good wit our device.Thanks to ...Awesome...)
Xperia S launcher with widgets by ra3al
NOTE:Flash this ROM at your own Risk i'm not responsible for any damage to your Device.
I recommands a third party Keyboard because stock is RAM hogger.I've not added all tweaks (like tcp buffers etc) to keep ROm clean.You can install 3g turbocharger and supercharger to supercharge your device.
And sorry for my bad English
For more support => Follow on Cyanogenmod forum
Thank you for your work. I have flashed your rom on my lg sol but after that i cant start up my phone. the lg logo come but after that nothing happend. and with power button + volume down i cant go to the recovery menu. what should i do ?
OK...
Remove battery then insert it again.Now follow this method
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c15Y_m_oqc
Then in the recovery wipe data/factory reset, then go to advance and wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stat then reinstall the rom and reboot.Wait for atleast 10 minutes because first boot take a long time.

It's partially translated.Change language using morelocal 2.
ok, I've installed ROM with ICS theme and I like it (morelocale 2 is ok for romanian language)
congratulations for achievement.
one thing it seems to me, that consuming the battery a little faster than the previous ROM (JB taste).
thanks

Try to disable gpu overclock and sweep2wake (by init.d) and set the voltage like this (use incredicontrol app to undervolt):
clock volt
122 750 mA
245 750 mA
368 750 mA
768 850 mA
806 850 mA
1024 1050 mA
1200 1050 mA
1401 1150 mA
1612 1200 mA
1708 1250 mA
1804 1300 mA
after that, set smartass2, sio and cpu step range form 122Mhz (or 245..same mA, so same battery loss) to 1200Mhz (same voltage of 1000).
With these settings I did at least 60h (2,5 days) with medium gaming/phoning/surfing usage.
My wifi is always turned I just use timeriffic to automatically switch on aero mode from 00:00pm to 07:00am.
I use also setcpu profiling, so when I'm in call I set the max clock to 768Mhz, idem when the screen is off.
p.s. if someone can reach better results please tell my how!

are you sure it is stable?
never tried undervolt more than 100mv...
Well, I used since 20days these voltages, in particular in the 122-1200Mhz range...no problem to swith from 750mV to 1050mV; I reached this settings after many assays.
Have you any more infos about these voltages problems?

Hi there!
This is a very nice ROM! Thanks for your time and effort!
The only thing I miss is the LGOnScreenPhone.. Is there any way to have this option? I have the stock .apk and .odex file but I don't know how to deodex for the E730 (I only found a tutorial for the GS2). I saw the On Screen Phone settings are there in the Wireless&Networks settings. Is there a way to make it work? I need it cause at work I have very weak signal and have to leave the phone at a specific place to have adequate reception.
Thanks so much once again. =)

INTRODUCTION
This ROM was made for fun and to have a GB ROM with a GS4 look (or at least more or less, some enhacements will come in future...)
It is based on the latest official Samsung Firmware I9001XXKQP
I've used Vitality kernel cause it allows undervolting in way to save battery with a good level of performace.
About SD card mount issues, I've noticed no problems during the two weeks of "development", so I hope you are lucky as me.
On Vitality Kernel I've done some changes on memory management because "Springfield Tapped Out" was laggy as hell and i had frequently FC.
Anyway original Vitality Kernel and stock KQP kernel are available on 2nd post.

ADDONS - FIXES - UPDATES
APP PACKS
None for the moment
KERNELS
1.Stock tweaked KQP Kernel <--- click to download
This is the Samsung stock kernel of KQP firmware, supports custom boot animation, init.d scripts.
It works very fine with good performances level and good battery
2.Original Vitality Kernel <--- click to download
This is the original Vitality kernel with overclok capability up to 1800 MHz.
It features more governors and schedulers than stock KQP kernel, Virtual RAM (SWAP) possible, it contains by default a lot of tweaks for increased overall system performances.
For this reason no tweak scripts ar loaded on init.d folder, because apply tweaks twice can produce strange behaviours, so be careful to load additional (and in some cases unuseful) tweak packs with this kernel!
The main advantage using this kernel is UNDERVOLT capabilities, that permits to improve battery life maintaining a good performances level.
About SD Card: sometime depending on device it may happens that SD card does not mount. This is a known issue of this kernel, do a look on Vitality tread for solutions
3.Modded Vitality Kernel <--- click to download
This is the modded Vitality kernel I've used un the ROM, I've done some changes on memory management to improve stability on some situations.
All features of original Vitality kernel are still present except (part of) V6 SuperCharger memory management.
REMOVED APPS PACKAGE
1.KQP removed apps <--- click to download
Removed apps: like Talk, Adilko, animated wallpapers, Samsung apps, etc... (Install package from recovery)
Vitality Kernel Voltage tweaks
A good way to improve battery life is to apply some undervolt to CPU.
On stock kernels is not possible to change the voltage, to do this kind of operation is necessary to use modded kernels like Vitality or SkyHigh.
To set voltages you need to use apps like, IncrediControl, SetCPU, AnTuTu CPU Master, etc... search them on play store
Looking on the following graphic, you can see that Vitality kernel does by default (red line) a undervolt compared to stok kernel (black dotted line),
My Idea is to try to use more lower voltage values, and based on my esperience using Castagna's Kernel on ICS and JB roms I've seen tha my device works very fine with Extreme UV version.
So I've applied the Castagna's EX-UV voltages values to Vitality with absolutely no failures. (See green line).
(I've had no failures also lowering voltages by 25/50 mV, see orange line)
As you know no all devices are identical, some are more low voltage friendly, some with too low voltages does not boot or not works properly.
So maybe instead to use EX-UV voltages you may try Castagna's standard UV values (blue line) that on high clocks is similar to standard Vitality.
Or maybe using intermediate values between Vitality defaults and Castagna UV / EX-UV.
Hint: after setting voltages vaules prior to stick them @ boot, do a normal usage of your phone for some hours, play games, run benchmarks to do some kind of stressing, verify that the phone is able to wake-up from deepsleep etc... If in normal usage yor are facing to some problems try use less agressive undervolt values, find right UV values is not easy but I think that playing with values between red and green lines of previous graph can be a good starting point.

Enable RAM SWAP feature
All credits are for defiant07
Do a look to this thread to thank him and for more information about SWAPITON script.
The RAM SWAP permits to have more free memory, that is useful to enhance performances on heavy app (specially games).
The trick is to force the phone to use a part of SD card memory as RAM. (More info about that are available using search button and google).
To do SWAP is need a kernel that features this option, like Vitality, Skyhigh and Brood Kernel.
How to check is SWAP is enabled
open terminal emulator and type:
Code:
free
the interface will show something like this:
The line corresponding to "Mem" voice indicates the RAM of the system total, used and free
The line corresponding to "Swap" voice indicates the size of swap memory: total, used and free, in this case the three "0" mean that Swap is disabled.
When Swap is enabled you should see something like this:
The line corresponding to "Swap" voice indicates the size of swap memory: total, used and free, in this case there's about 178 MB of extra free RAM.
How to enable SWAP
open terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su -c swapit
Now a semi-automated script will run, follow the instructions that are displayed on the screen and go to the end of process.
At the first usage the script will suggest to you a correct amount of "extra ram" to enable (in my case was 178 mb)
It will ask you a % of swappiness, set it with a value = 60 to no degrade too much foreground apps and multitasking, set it higher i you want to maximize performances for hard games.
It will ask you also how to set memory management, you have 3 options
- Similar to V6 Supercharger
- Similar to Kickass Kernelyzer
- A mid way of above options
(personally I'm running on Kickass option)
It will ask you where to place SWAP file, my suggestion is to select external SD, is slower, but because SWAP causes intense read/write operations the lifespan of the SD card could be compromised, so IMHO is better to burn a few $ esternal SD instead of the internal SD memory.
How to change SWAP parameters
When enabled, you can disable it open terminal emulator and typing:
Code:
su -c swapitoff
To re-enable it open terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su -c swapiton
To change swappiness level open terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su -c swapXX
where "XX" should be 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
MORE info and options are available on the original trhread of the script, do a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359182
gb still has the best performance because it is best optimized for our phone . thank you for keeping it alive .
maybe key lime pie will work better for us , but untill then gb has the upper hand .
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
Just can't believe that you're back with GS4 - GB ROM for us...thanks yea ~:good::good:
yaaayyyyy u r back....
downloading this ASAP.... awesome man.... GB is the best
Awesome ROM! I can finally play six-guns without any problem.
The rom is awesome, and the best looking GB rom out of all.... Gaming performance is good too.... played temple run OZ almost without lag... more games like Subway Surfers playing good..... the only thing bothering me is the sound is kinda low... if don't know if its my ear problem .
Can u tell me how to increase sound by modding the file, i don't want any app to do it for me.
Also if possible.... to create a big mem edition for the modded kernel u used for this rom....
loving ur rom BTW....
EDIT : Also, does this kernel has the same UV settings as shown in the above graph or do i have to do it manually... ?
Wow
best of both ics style and gingerbread feel!
I've tried a lot of rom. But the most beautiful interface 2.3.6. Was when the call screen, the alarm screen is very nice.
This rom excellent. Very quickly, the interface is beautiful. Using the battery at least.
Please continue to develop. :good:

The kernel by default have the voltages of the red line.
If you want go lower do you have to set manually using incredicontrol.

yeah would be good if we have a big mem kernel .... bcoz like 400 mb RAM available will be a big boost for GB .... and also can you port S4 apps like music player and gallery ...

make a bigmem kernel requires to mod the sources of kernel and I'm no able to do that. Sorry.
But if you want more memory you can do swap (use some tools searching on the market) or you can use Skyhigh 1.5 bigmem edition.

You can use the triple-swap i use.Take them from my rom, in /etc/init.d/.
Those are /system , /data and /cache swaps, so no danger of removing sdcard.Also, it's faster.
I have set them to take 75 mb from system , 75 from cache ( i think ) and 100 from /data.
If you use them, give proper credits to their creators, delta-roh and harbir.

@c0dac0da , porting S4 apps to GB is not possible, as they use different api levels.

You can use the triple-swap i use.Take them from my rom, in /etc/init.d/.
Those are /system , /data and /cache swaps, so no danger of removing sdcard.Also, it's faster.
I have set them to take 75 mb from system , 75 from cache ( i think ) and 100 from /data.
If you use them, give proper credits to their creators, delta-roh and harbir.
Hope this helps!

Maybe you can include things from those ROM's ? I saw s3 Music Player and S4 Launcher.
Perfect ROM. But for this time some small problems.
1. I am missing SG4 weather widget.
2. When installing missing apps zip then I have some FCs at some of the apps like google +

TIPS & Tricks
GUIDE TO GET BETTER BATTERY LIFE
WIFI: Turn off wifi when not in use.
NETWORK: Navigate to setting>more and choose gsm only in network mode when not use 3G. Also use manual search mode.
DISPLAY: Set brightness to 25% to get better battery life cause the major battery drainer come from screen. Use dark wallpaper or theme due to the fact that one black pixel does not consume any battery.
CPU: We can customize our cpu to our personal optimized system. As we now that underclock and undervolt are the great combo to achieve better battery life. I personally not recommend to overclock more than 1Ghz(In Some Kernels) cause it can damage our phone. I personally prefer SetCPU for control cpu but this is the outdated version. Go buy another one on play store. Combination of smartassV2 and sio is perfect for well balance to get better battery life without sacrifice performance.
SERVICE AND APP: Freeze any app that not in use like maps and facebook with titanium backup or simply remove any unwanted app. This will optimize our system giving some battery juice. Also dont use too much widget cause it also running in service. Use only needed
SYNC: Turn off auto sync in setting. This is because that auto sync will running all the time and at the same time our battery flow like water.
OTHER: Turn off gps, google location and google backup the get extra juice in battery.
Thanks To ZN6 For Tips....
Our devices' max. frequency is 832MHz. The 83OriginControl script wont work on our device unless it runs an overclocked kernel. Also, V6 supercharger will conflict with this mod since this mod has a minfree script. Lastly, 99Origin_LagReduction is a launcher tweak, you should inform users to change the "USER_LAUNCHER" value to the launcher they're currently using. I don't mean to flame or destroy, I just want to point out what mistakes are here.
