I completely agree on this one. I hate my battery life almost to the point of going back to 2.2 until the source code is released
I'm gonna test this in the 6/23 kingdom build from virus. Nandroid backup made so should be good if things aren't appealing. Will let you all know if my phone blows up or not.

Looking forward to the results!! But I'm almost certain it will break your camera and something else, cant remember what the other thing was
Yup, this won't work (or work well) on any 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) release.
MikG, Synergy, any of the Kingdom ports, current EVO Stock releases, etc. If it's based on 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) then chances of success are low.
Keep bugging HTC for the source!
"netarchy-toastmod" is a kernel originally based on the GoDmOdE sources (Courtesy of Toast) integrating my work on fixing the fps for the Epson panels, and as of version 3.6.1, also integrating a fix for the Nova panels that does not require the use of Evo switch or manually setting any registers, etc, courtesy of work done by AssassinsLament (Well done on the nova fix). Special thanks needs to go out as well to Cyanogen and the cyanogen mod team, as a number of bugfixes and updates to the kernel in recent revisions have been ported over from cyanogen mod to enhance the overall netarchy-toastmod experience.
So what's in the kernel?
- Overclocking Support
- HDMwIn (As of 4.3.4)
- Audio gain tweaks (read: make it louder!)
- Fps Fixes
- tun.ko for openvpn users
- CIFS support (as of 4.2.2)
- BFS (in select builds)
- BFQ (in select builds)
- HAVS (as of 4.1.9)
- Assorted fixes/tweaks (that are sadly too numerous to list here)
- An army of rabid naked bunnies
The zipalign script in the kernel's modified inits is based on code in the Damage Control rom, and extended to check more places for apps.
The Dalvik code in the inits is courtesy of Ninpo/Hacre from the VillainRom team (over in the HTC Hero forums).
mroneeyedboh has written a handy little kernel starter guide with a lot of general information about custom kernels and various terms you might see flying around (such as cfs/bfs, havs/nohavs, etc).
You can view this guide Here
Current Revision: Stable: 4.3.1 - For Froyo Sense roms | Beta: 4.3.4
A note on multitouch:
Some of you may have used my 5point multitouch test builds with success, others with failure. Research has shown that the Evo's contain at least 2 different versions of the touch sensor, one of which does not support 5point multitouch (but it DOES support 3point). You can check which sensor you have using adb by issuing the following command: "adb shell cat /sys/android_touch/vendor" and examining the result. If your result is ATMEL_x0080_x0016, your phone can support 5point. If your result is ATMEL_x004F_x0016, your phone will only support up to 3point.
Disclaimer:
While these builds have been deemed generally safe, it is not feasible to account for all possible combinations of custom roms and uses,
custom roms may experience some breakage depending on how some features are set up, as these builds are not aimed at any one particular rom.
As such your mileage may vary, use these at your own risk.
2.2 Kernels (THESE WILL NOT WORK ON 2.1 ROMS):
These have only been tested against the rooted HTC 2.2 stock rom, they *may* work on the various custom 2.2 roms,
but this is NOT guaranteed. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP JUST IN CASE!

Beta Testing Builds
Net, love the kernels btw! was curious if you plan on adding some code to the kernel to unlock the hidden r/w speeds of our sd cards?? the quick fix just isn't that sweet if it's not done automatically when i start the phone!
