Im having issues that the lockscreen is freezing up so i have to pull out the battery to make it work again
You can't make such a bold statement, and not include info like what ROM you're running and other relevant info. There's also no need to start a new thread...there's already a thread on the Gingerbread kernel in the development section.
So, because you're having problems, you want to warn everyone on problems that no one else is having??..
Faux's kernels are working just fine for me.
Faux's Kernels are fine. Update and don't listen to this Guy.

WOW. Really, Really ???
Running without a kernel...That's amazing...
Faux's kernels are rock solid...Running 2.5.1 since release and NO issues...
then why has my mytouch freezing alot when i get it out of sleep
Plus i am on RoyalGinger V1.6
OP is an idiot. Faux kernel works fantastic. If you have problem with the rom, ask in the rom thread. Don't try and talk about something you don't understand.

Had problems with it the other day. Running stock rom. Kept losing signal and data. Wifi stopped after about 10 minutes and had to restart the phone just to get it working again. Went back to what I was using before and problem went away.
Not sure what the real deal was as I have NEVER had a problem with his kernal.

The kernel being discussed here is faux's Gingerbread version.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a Mytouch 4G forum that was specifically for roms, kernals, and any other type of hacking? Oh wait there is one and this thread is in the wrong forum.

you're a retard.. the reason why your phone is freezing on lockscreen, is cause you either have setcpu installed & have your screen off settings too low! don't have Max set below 368, which 245 freezes your phone! set min& Max to 368 and you will not get any freeze ups and save a lot of battery also! try it!
just don't make a thread about smashing someone's kernal who works so hard to make it for us! faux has great kernals, & you should give him the credit.
Lol sorry. Was on latest cm when tried it. Long day forgot what all I went through with this. Went back to stock rom after it was screwing up. Prolly try again with cm and this kernal. Think maybe it was a bad download causing the problem for me. Although would think I would get some kind of error when installing it.

This thread is full of nubness.
+1000 for not reading. Not searching. Posting in the wrong section.... and thinking faux would ever fail us lowly 4g users.

First check whatever Rom is fully downloaded. Then check to make sure you fully downloaded the kernel. Make sure you have the proper kernel for your rom. Make sure you wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Then install the proper kernel when it boots up let everything load for 4-5 minutes then reboot. If your using a low voltage version try stock version. Also use the cfs kernel and not bfs since your phone is lagging.

Hi folks!
Very new noob here and very curious about what else I can do now that I've rooted my Inspire 4g. I used attn1 hack kit and it took me roughly 30 minutes to complete the root process.
So, first question is - I've noticed, and already read about it, that my wifi is no longer working and that I need to do something.....yes I'm a noob and I'm not sure what exactly I need to do to get my wifi feature working again.
Second - What else can I do now with a rooted phone other than the tethering/wifi hotspot features? Any cool apps? Any updated core (not sure of term) program that will replace the default image loaded with attn1 hack kit?
I'm honestly completely content with what attn1 hack kit did minus the wifi.
So basically looking to fix my wifi issue, i can connect to networks but can't use them, and also looking to tweak/speed up phone even more and load some cool apps.
I apologize for being a noob.
if you want, you can try the rom in my signature....
in all honesty, try every rom out there for your phone. see which one works for you
You have a lot you can do still, read around these forums, use the search, and read the stickies, they'll help you out a lot. The first thing I'd recommend looking into is flashing a new ROM (the "core program"), which should take care of your wifi problem.
Just remember, most questions you'll have have been answered at some point, always search a few different ways before posting multiple threads asking questions.
But good luck! Welcome to being rooted, once you learn what you can do you'll realize why everyone recommends it. As for root apps, ROM Manager is must have IMO, makes flashing a lot easier, Titanium Backup is good, Root Tools is pretty useful (although on some custom ROMs like CM7 there are easier ways to do most of the stuff it can do), and SetCPU if you want to overclock your CPU.
My favorite thing about being rooted, other than flashing roms, is setcpu. With a Rom that supports it, you can overclock and underclock. I underclock when the screen is off and it helps battery life immensely. Just be careful with overclocking. Some phones do better with it. I never overclock past 1.2 ghz.

I stick to 1.3 max and I've never had a problem. My kernel can go up to 1.9 But that's just unnesseccessarry.

Did you flash the stock ROM (w/ or w/o SL) from his thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
I was previously running it and didn't have any issues with WiFi.
The very first thing you need to do is flash a rom. The hack kit leaves you with the downgraded rom, which is strictly for the exploit during the root process. It is not intended to be left on the phone. You can flash back to the latest stock rooted rom or find a custom modded rom to try out.

Honestly you have tons of options. I have had a rooted phone for a long time and just now joined the site. I have been reading all the posts for months now and have gotten pretty good at it all. You first need to flash a new rom and learn how to tweak the base roms. Then once you master that, you will start flashing new radios and RILs. Then you will learn to mix and match kernals and roms. Then you will start to overclock and undervolt your cpu for performance enhancements and battery saving. There is a ton to do but reading the post in the development section will get you where you need to be. It will take some time but you will learn it all. Rom Manager is probably the most needed app of them all to start with.
Thanks for the replies folks!
I've gone and flashed my second rom! LOL...I know....what a young'en
I went with the Android Revolution ROM and I gotta say...loving the battery life so far...much better than stock.
I'm looking at changing the main theme and would like to go with the Code Red one. The pre reqs are - DEODEXED ROM, Root, S-Off, DHD Sense ROM, Clockwork Mod and ROM Manager.
So question - I now know that I've got all of the above met except for the DEODEXED ROM. Not sure what this is....I have searched the forums and wasn't able to come up with a clear answer as to what this means.
Oh...lesson learned...back up my contacts before I flash my next ROM. I lost it all! lol
Just a bump for some help.

all custom roms are deodexed. you do have to be careful when applying themes though. most of them are specific for a specific build of a rom. you cant always apply any theme to any rom

hi
just followed mike1986 guide to s-offing and installing new revolution rom. All went perfectly thanks. the instructions take several readings on the s-off installation guide link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I am downloading all my apps again plus the ones that require root access.
my sensation now seems faster and smoother, i would recommend to all sensation users.
thanks again to mike1986.
it does ask to post experiences installing the rom but dosnt allow me to post on the developers forum as a 'noob'
i also installed revolution hd 3.6 on my sensation.
indeed all went well, the score in the quadrant benchmark is around 2600, it moves a lot smoother, everything seems to be a lot faster, except the internet. somehow the internet got slower, even though the settings are the same as before. plus the whole device gets a lot hotter than when i used the stock rom (how much hotter i can't say so far, but i'll get back on that)....anyway, i guess this is because of the 'overclocking'
and one more thing, taking screenshots doesn't work anymore.
all in all i still like this rom more than the stock one, but with the latest news, i hope there will soon be an OTA with 1.5ghz and also the extended HTC battery...
How were you guys able to get the radio loaded as he suggested? I followed the read me but it seems to leave some steps out unless I'm missing something. When I just flashed the ROM with the built in radio I had ran Quadrant and barely got over 1500 I believe. When I was stock I was getting around 1984. Right now I'm running the CoreDroid ROM and Quandrant score just registered 2253.
I really recommend you flash the recommended radio.
Download the radio file in the first post on Mikes thread, follow the instructions in the readme file contained in the RAR archive you download. Very simple to follow.
My Quadrant score just jumped from 1226 to 2638 by flashing the radio, I'm running ARHD 3.6.1 and absolutely LOVING it.
All credit to Mike for a fantastic ROM and Faux for an awesome Kernel.
Rom is fantastic indeed. i am just hoping he will port Sense 3.5 to Revolution soon.
There are alot of good new Widgets in it...

I tried following that read me but I'm still missing something as far as how I should be connected, i.e. phone to computer. Am I supposed to select charge only or mount as drive on phone when connected? Also this method is using a dos prompt for the commands and when phone is connected as mount the phone ususally shows up as "E" drive. So when I type those commands in the dos prompt won't I have to change the drive letter to reflect the "E" drive, i.e. my phone?
Also while my phone has S off it it doesn't have radio S off, how would I accomplish this? Sorry for all the questions but I would like to re-flash this ROM & the recommended radio as well to test it out.
Connect in HTC Sync mode, cancel HTC Sync on the pc when it opens. Make sure USB debugging mode is ticked in Settings - applications - development. Don't worry about changing drives, just extract the RAR file to a folder on your desktop, read the readme inside it and follow the simple instructions. It really is dead simple.

installation is as simple
just follow Jedi's advice - I installed the new radio last night...
no probs!
good luck dude - we're here for you!
screen shots does work on 3.5.x just search the post for the remedy you will see it has to do with changing a setting frome false to true and the 4.1 is the new 3.5 sense leak and is fast as hell. i am still on the stock radio as well as several other users and getting ncredible scores so radio change is not nesesary but may work better for u. i am on tmob us also check out the faux and bricked kernels much better battery life
Does somebody tried bricked Kernel v1.0 on Sensation with Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.1 XE Rom.
I totally agree, that Rom is Amazing. The phone is butter smooth and the battery, omg the battery life is crazy good! When my phone is in sleep mode it barely uses battery. I get through a day easily. Before being rooted I had to charge my phone by 3pm.

i sometimes get random boots and sometimes it gets stuck at the beats auido splash screen.
anyone using this rom on bell? did you flash the radio? as bell uses different frequencies than tmobile will flashing radio work??
I just installed the XE version on my 4-day old Sensation
Installation was smooth and I got the screen capture shortcut activated too.
It does hang on the beats boot animation occasionally and I didn't install the radio update but my 3g speed seems a lot quicker (just done some speedtest.net app tests so far, so no 'real world' experience).
I want to try the 4.1 ROM with Sense 3.5 but I'm happy with the overclocked 3.6.1 XE ROM. Anybody with experience of both care to share?
htc sense keeps restarting...
I installed Android Rev. HD 3.6.1 on my Sensation and ever since HTC Sense keeps restarting! All the previous versions were fine until now... this is the only problem i have...
Any suggestions??
What kernel are you using?
Either revert back to stock or try flashing something that reverts your clockspeed to 1.2ghz
Thanks, I will try now and let you know how it went...
I am running Mike's Android Revolution HD based on HTC Sensation "non-XE" HTC base ROM and am experiencing a strange glitch. I would have posted this in the developers section but I have under 10 posts.
I have a Rooted S-OFF Sensation running this ROM and it works very well, exept for one thing. When my TMOUS Sensation's screen turns off, I normally can just hit the top button and the unlock screen comes right up, but sometimes, the lockscreen does not come up and I am forced to pull the battery on my phone. This happenes about once every couple of days. I have tried wiping and reflashing to no avail.
Please help.

Hi,
Which ROM are you running,and with which kernel?
Clean install,upgrade,what have you wiped before you started.
You need to provide some more information,so that you can get the correct help.

I flashed the newest radio listed for this ROM, oddly, it is suposed to be 10.58.9035.00u, I use T-Mobile so that could be affecting it.

Hi,
Thank you.
There are known issues with that kernel.
I suggest you try the latest kernel,which you can find in my signature.
Go into recovery,
Wipe your cache partition and dalvik,
Flash the kernel,(exactly like a ROM)
reboot and enjoy.
Flashed newest Faux Kernel.
I flashed the new kernel, and I also flashed your battery mod, looks great btw
One last question, isnt my baseband suposed to be U and not P? why does it say P despite the fact I flashed the newest one for this ROM? and will it negatively affect performance?

Hi,
Glad you like the mod.
Those letters in the radio just refer to the carrier,and do not affect the performance in any way.

hey shenoka.. how is it?
I am really annoyed with this rom... I used it for my desire hd and never had a problem with it.. since I started using it on my sensation mike screwed it up massively... He is too stubborn to use the bricked kernel which rips on the faux rubbish that he is using now. I switched over to insertcoin because of this massive stuff up. So many people have complained about it and it took him this long to fix it if he hasn't already. The faux kernel is a joke and has always frozen up and have to be rebooted on me even especially in the morning when u expect the alarm to go off but the stupid faux kernel doesn't think it should go off.
And this same problem was happening for me on the de version so it definitely has to do with the kernel.
Anyways enough of my frustration has been let off about this rom. How is the new 0.2.5.2 kernel? Because I know that the 0.2.3r was rubbish for me and still did the stupid screen not turning on. I'm not going back to this rom until I am certain that the kernel won't do this same thing again.
Also has anyone noticed that with this rom u also have to sometimes fight to turn off the screen because it turns back on when u only click the power button once? Doesn't happen on insertcoin.

Why so much hate for 2 devs that are giving their wares away for FREE? There are numerous posts (today & yesterday even) on the development thread discussing how this happens, the fact that yes it is the faux kernel that has the bug, and how to install bricked if you wish.
Your frustration is understood. Isn't it nice to have so many choices of ROMs/kernels for your phone for free? I think these devs deserve more respect.
Hey guys,
One of my friends has the G2x for T-Mobile. I recommended she root her phone to possibly fix some issues she has been experiencing. Since most likely I will be rooting the phone for her, I have a few questions:
1. Touch screen unresponsive (will rooting help better the touch sensitivity)?
2. Low memory, as a result her phone freezes alot (bloatware), rooting should free memory?
3. Best method of rooting (link would be appreciated)?
4. Best/Top G2x Roms for daily driver (gingerbread)?
Any other G2x specific niche I should be looking into?
I want to root, setup and let the phone loose. I don't want to keep flashing and fix etc... I'm looking for (a) stability, (b) battery life, thanks in advance
For battery life, flash a morfic kernel and for stability and flash pheonixblood, or cm7 based eaglesblood rom
On mobile so can't provide link, use nvflash to put cwm recovery and when u flash the roms they are already rooted.
Never had screen unresponsive issues so I can't help there.
Also after you flash any rom u decide, download getril (free) from market to match ur ril so u don't have any baseband issues.
Also another rom alternative is is weapon g2x 3.0 then flash the new clip by kwes right after. Really stable, just not as stable.
Hope this helps
