Hello all,
First of all, sorry for posting in the wrong forum, but I cannot post in the development one, so forgive me.
I have a question for all of you:
I have installed on my HTC Desire the Nikez Lente Evervol JB ROM, which is great.
I really like it, even if there are few bugs and random FC.
I've used CM7.2 for a long time before to switch to JB.
I don't miss CM (sorry for that), but I really miss Tiamat Kernel I installed within it, which helped me overclock and underclock my processor, changing also the voltage.
With Nikez Lente JB original kernel this is not possible, I tried to install Tiamat Kernel for ICS but the phone cannot boot anymore, I'm stuck to initial black screen.
So I went back to the original Nikez Kernel.
Unfortunately this kernel seems do not allow "extreme" overclock as Tiamat does, and do not allow the user to change the voltage table.
I would really like to have these features back on my JB installation, is it possible?
Is there a kernel which can work with Nikez JB ROM and can give me back the features I'd like to have?
Moreover: can you explain why the Tiamat ICS kernel (for Bravo GSM) does not work with both Nikez Lente ROMs (ICS & JB)? Am I making something wrong?
My phone is a PVT-1 Amoled, S-OFFed qith Revolutionary, the HBOOT is the Alpharev Stock one, The recovery is CWM 5.0.2.0, I have a 32Gb SD card with 1 Gb ext3 sd-ext partition.
What else can I say?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Giovanni
Yes it is possible.
But probably you have to wait.
Evervolv team (nikez included) are working on jb and probably when all features will be working they add some mod in kernel that will let you OC CPU.

Did you check/compare the kernel configs? One of the CM wiki pages about building the kernel describes howto access the config - or check the git repos, evervolv has the file somewhere in arch/asm, it is called bravodefconfig IIRC
Maybe a device or filesystem driver is missing

New Bravo gingerbread rom
http://911sniper.blog.163.com/blog/static/14290088120114901833662/
I saw this rom a while ago on the Desire forum.
Is this rom ok to flash ( i would presume not)?
I would also assume that it would need to be rooted, busybox, smartass etc.

Problem for all Ginger Sense builds now is need a new kernel to support them.
We're waiting 1 person like Tytung can build new Kernel

we need kernel sources to be released by htc
i think that tytung is not working with sense roms, only with aosp and cyanogenmod ones
skeevy420 may ported this rom, because it seems very stable and would be fantastic for all users of the Motorola Bravo
you are very good for ported rom

I tried once a few weeks ago, but gave up after 15 minutes of zip editing and a bad flash....didn't bother any further cause Quarx started droppin CM9\7 releases the second I had installed CM7.
I may try again (with actual effort this time), but I've been looking at porting the DroidX Miui v4 and am more interested in doing that to be honest.
I also attempted patchrom with Quarx's latest CM9, but didn't get anywhere. Doubt I will either since I don't know smali code, or anything more than basic bash scripts.
Not at all related, but thinking about it, I will post a zip containing the DroidX cpu governors this evening, they work great with CM9. My bad battery (CM9 05\12) has been with using the stock conservative setting. Using stock settings with DroidX BOOSTEDassV2 governor gave the best battery I've had (all roms) with CM9 05\09 and 05\06.
Hi,
I own a Bell Desire Z (Canada). I'm new to rooting and I've been checking out this forums for a few days. I'm wanting to root my phone shortly and I'm wondering which ROM I should use.
My motivations for changing my ROM is mostly because I :
a) Can't stand the HTC skin anymore because it's waaaay too unresponsive
b) I want to get a more optimized OS
c) I want to increase my phone and mobile internet signals, if possible
I've came to the conclusion that EXT4 is the best recovery but I'm still confused about ROMs for Desire Z. How can I compare ROMs against each other ? For example, why is there so many different Andromadus ROMs? I read minicry was good, but I see the tests ones (JB if I'm not mistaken) and there's also Audacity, etc.
I don't want to lose features (GPS, Camera, Bluetooth). The cam is a little less important but I'd still rather keep it.
I'm also having a hard time understanding the radios "roms" (is it a rom too? I'd guess so). Is it a good idea to change it. If yes, what's the benefits, where can I find them for the Desire Z, are they the same for the G2, how can I know which are compatible with my carrier, etc. Is there any thread for up to date Desire Z radios?
Thanks a lot.
4ext is, in my opinion, the best recovery for our device; as for ROMs, it's best to just try them out for yourself. Cyanogenmod is the most one of the most widely used ROMs for a reason, it's solid and heavily supported however, there are many based off of CM that offer even better speed at the expense of eye candy.
As for radios (which aren't ROMs but basically device drivers), there is a thread that is stickied in the dev forum with all available radios. Updating your radio can offer better reception and better battery life but, it depends on your carrier and location as to which is best.

Since people on XDA are [often] tragically uninformed, I'll give you the scoop on ICS/JB ROMs specifically. I apologize in advance for being uninformed myself about the HTC Sense-based ROMs available. I gave up on Sense a long time ago
Since you seem a bit keen to know more about AOSP based ROMS, the two types of AOSP based ROMs available for our device are AOKP and CM9. Andromadus Audacity and the ROM titled "CyanogenMod 9 RC2" (currently) are both based as much on CM9 as possible. They use as many of the CM9 branches as possible filling in the missing pieces where necessary. Those missing pieces are device specific branches that CyanogenMod currently does not provide for our device. The ROM titled CM9 RC2 by jerl92 is as much unofficial CM9 as Andromadus Audacity. The only difference is that jerl92 named his ROM "CyanogenMod", and as such people are under the impression it's more CM9 than Andromadus Audacity, when that's simply not the case. Both ROMs use the Andromadus kernel by fyodor (as a base), as does the AOKP ROM by adamz667. That said, the Andromadus ROMs, jerl92's CM9 ROM and AOKP are the only ROMs for our device based on compiled Android source code.
As for the other Andromadus ROMs, the Test Builds are alpha Jelly Bean builds based on CM10 primarily put together by Flinny and the rest of the Andromadus dev team (though at this point mostly darkspadez, fyodor, Flemmard -- I've done very little myself w/ JB so far).
Andromadus Mimicry is Andromadus Audacity, which means it's CyanogenMod 9. The difference is I've branched off half a dozen branches and have tried to add features specific to our device as well as community requests on XDA/IRC. Mimicry will move to CM10/JB when it's matured enough to provide a ROM experience similar to what we've achieved with CM9/ICS.
As for radios, search XDA for the .19 radio (as it's typically called). Look up EdKeys' thread and flash the radio/rcdata package for .19 and be done with it. You only have to flash it once and the .19 radio works great on Bell/Telus/Rogers' networks.
Thanks a lot for clarifying all this, I wasn't aware of the how the branching worked for specific devices.
I get it you are the developer of the Mimicry branch and that's what I'll go with.
I still haven't got the time to root my phone but reading further I realized in the XDA wiki that the Clockwork Recovery was flash using a gfree command and passing an img file as a parameter. However, looking at 4ext recovery, I could only find a package installer (apk). How do should I flash the 4ext recovery then?
I was also wondering if there's any guide on how to install Mimicry? I've downloaded the 2 files (the actual image and gapps). I have absolutely no idea what to do with those files.
Thanks a lot!
You might have to use CWM during the root process but, after that you can download 4ext Installer and flash 4ext. As far as installing a ROM, you'd do that via recovery by selecting "install from zip file" (or whatever similar option is in the recovery you're using)

Hello, I will put here a few of my thoughts regarding your issue.
I am using clockworkmod recovery all the time and did not have any issues flashing/backup/restoring etc on my Desire Z, when you root you firstly end up using clockwork mod recovery, so you can as well stick to it - it does all you need. It text by text interface and it's to me - easy to use and clear. Once you have a rooted phone and you are able to boot into cwm recovery, you put a ZIP with your ROM on your SD, as well as your google apps for ICS, you navigate into clockworkmod's menu, press "install zip from SD card", find the ROM ZIP, and install. You do the same with gapps zip before you reboot. Simple as that.
Now for the ROMs. I personally am in favor of Andromadus Mimicry 1.4 ROM. It's the fastest, most complete (every device feature like camera/gps/etc works) Ice Cream Sandwich ROM out there, comes with a pre-installed memory optimizer script, so it's really really smooth and fast, it comes with a nice graphical and feature rich installer (similar to PC installers to be honest), you can manually chose which feature to install during that, and also is equipped with the .19 radio (which you also can chose upon installation), which boosted my GPS signal and my GSM signal by far. Seriously, this is to me the best ICS ROM out there for our Desire Z. It looks and feels great.

Are you stuck on the idea of using an ICS or JB ROM? I have tried Mimicry 1.4.0 and the JB test builds, as well as EliteMod ICS, but have settled for now on the the EliteMod CM7, and find it very good...fast, stable, all apps in working order, low battery usage. No, the available launchers are not quite up to Apex...but for me it's not about aesthetics, just functionality. There's a thread about it in the Android development section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246682
Flashing the .19 radio is easy and very good. It _is_ a separate step from ROM flashing...the files are downloadable from the EdKeys thread mentioned above...start reading here:

Hello again guys,
I sucessfully rooted my phone but now I have a problem. I have read through alot of forums and sites and I guess the next logical step is to get a new rom and kernel. Now I have done alot of reading about all this but I'm getting quite confused between the pair. From my understanding the kernel controls all the complex stuff like making your phone run faster/slower and increasing/decreasing battery life.... I'm stumped at what a rom is,it's like, the operating system but custom ones are more streamlined?
So what I'm asking for is a little information and some suggestions of what I should put onto my phone, I read something about a smartassv2 which is supposed to keep the phone more balanced, now im sure if it is a kernel or a governor?
Any help would be apprciated.
Have you put cwm or different recovery on your phone yet. Also do you have the CDMA or gsm version

Yeah, the utility I used to root it also installed cwm, I checked it out and did a backup which should be on my SD card now.
beleive it's gsm, it has a sim card and is on T-mobile.
Ive just installed link2sd and partitioned my sd card, was able to move over a game that I couldnt originally get over to the sd card, saving a bit of space.
Also with link2sd I was able to delete preinstalled bloat like twitter, friendstream, news, weather, stocks, etc.
So far a good day

smartassv2 is governer you can use cfq scheduler with it.
about suggestions:
after rooting you have two options:
use cyanogenmod roms:
cm9.1/cm10
(original modpunk cm9.1 ,speed droid,jelly king,miui etc)
use stock sense roms:
(wildchild etc,sense 3.5 etc)
these all are main roms after there are many variations like pacman rom,aokp build cm9 but they are not much stable at this time so.

Sorry to be a pain can you give me a little info about the listed roms? You put cm9.1/cm10 then the others in brackets, are they just like the same roms but with slight differences or is cynaogenmod a kinda name for those type of roms?
EDIT: Just looked up CyanogenMod.org, doesnt show that it supports HTC Wildfire S.

official cyanogenmod isn't support wildfire s.so dev made here unofficial cynogenmod which support cm9.1 and cm10 with some bugs.
that is jelly king cm10 based :

note:
cm=cyanogenmod
cm9.1 aka ICS 4.0.4
cm10 aka JB 4.1.2
ps there are many other roms based on cm10 like pacman,miui and also slimroms ,paranoid(its tablet ui rom you can change dpi of any app widget its benefit of this rom)
but i havent tried them but you can.
Personal oppinion
When I rooted my wildfire s I was exactly like you. I started wondering what I should do or where I could find it.
After testing a few roms I will tell you what worked for me: Test different roms till you find the one that suits you.
Anyway, I'll tell you my advice:
- WildJOY joyOS First rom I tested. No bugs found.
- Modpunk's CM10 As far as I've read the rom every one uses as the base for their own ones.
- JellyKing This is the one I'm using right now. Active development and really smooth.
Jelly King V2.0
I flashed my phone with Jelly King V2.0 4 days back. Its working very smoothly.
You get 69 MB of internal space to install things.
Panorma mode in camera etc. Try it. you'll love it.
one Q: shall i flash the Kernel v2.1 with jelly king v2.o!! everything seems working fine without the kernal

I was v.happy with v1.3 dedoxed i had no problem with it till yesterday started to have problem with viber ''NO SOUND'' , skype signing out when i try to make a skype phone call.. i tried to many things re-flashing the Room without wiping data factory sittings No backup lool so today i flashed the V2.0 with full wipe but its kinda lagy!! not smooth like the older one !! Kantry 123 made amazing job i really appreciate his hard work :good:
I don't find it that laggy as you say. Maybe it's because i don't spect too much from my little device. If i were you i'd try the kernel to test if it goes smoother or not.

like i said v1.3 the best Rom i ever used better than any custom Room Running 4.1.2.. okay please let me know if v2 kernel is any better than newest one... Viber still having problem with communication !! i can`t hear anything am i the only one who have problem with viber !!
I would like find the freshest available 3.0 kernel for the Desire Z. Where is it hosted? My intention is to make a kernel more stable than others available, as all are undervolted, and unfortunately with those settings I am experiencing random reboots. I've found some sources, tuned voltages to the original ones (as in htc's 2.6.35 kernel), and the reboots disappeared.
Thanks in advance,
The Andromadus 3.x kernel and cn.fyodor's are the most recent, I might say fyodor's might be slightly ahead being as he is the Andromadus kernel guy and his kernel stuff which goes into his ROM probably gets merged into Andromadus later (or maybe he does entirely different things for each, I'm not sure, you'd have to ask him).
By the way if you manage to get either of the above up and running, I'd appreciate some help as I've been trying to compile the Andromadus kernel but have so far not been able to produce a zImage, although compilation seems fairly smooth .
And are these kernel for sense? I always read on forums that there are kernels for sense roms, but actually I dont know the difference.
Last time I compiled from github / ajhavery / htc7x30-3.0.git, and it compiled well for me.
Then two linked to you by htcdreamon are for aosp/cm/aokp etc, you are right that you can not interchange aosp kernels and sense kernels, by and large they are not compatible
