One method would be to adb shell into your phone, and do a dmesg | grep mddi

If you see mddi_epson in any of the results, you have an epson.

I may look into migrating over the novatek panel fixes later as well unless someone beats me to it, though since I don't have a phone with a nova panel I won't be able to test it personally.

oh please do the nova ones too pleeaaase :)

You novatek guys have great support from ffolkes, see the thread linked on post 12.

Before I flash, does anybody have a link to the stock kernal in case the tearing is too annoying or there's some unforseen battery issues with this kernal? Thanks!

The tearing is noticeable, but the whole new feel of a phone without the input lag is amazing...think I'm gonna stick with it. Thanks for the kernel!

Nova ppl are stuck at 40Fps right now.

Tearing is a bit annoying but getting the big FPS boost while still having the camera available is worth it for the time being.

Prolly gonna leave the phone unplugged while I'm asleep to see if it's messing with standby battery life at all. Is the undervolting built in or does it need to be tweaked around with an app?

Im using this on Nonsense 1.5 with JIT, and man, I<3u.

tested all my regular stuff, everything works great.
only tearing I get is from swiping screens as fast as I can,
and same for my Galaxy S-launcher swiping fast as I can across 9 screens.

I open up google maps, and use it like a madman, and no tearing at all.
youtube hd worked fine, first go.

using RockPlayer beta, Im able to stay at 30-32fps solid to watch episodes of Tosh.0 on my phone.

without this, it stays at around 25, and audio/video gets out of sync, one of my biggest pet-peaves in life.

I did all of my testing, without it OC'd, just regular max ghz with SetCPU with the setting ondemand.

Average FPS is 52.

Dont forget, the easiest way to see what screen you have is by using the power control widget, and pressing the brightness button. If your screen fades between brightness, you have Novatek. If the screen brightness changes instantly, its Epson. Easiest way to check.

This is the way the EVO should come stock.
Makes me not want to use my nexus anymore, Thank god.

Doh! Thanks for bringing the flashing problem to my attention, should be fixed now. Re-download the 2nd kernel and it should be flashable.

As for 2.2, I wasn't sure if it would work or not for 2.2, I've only tested it with 2.1.

Ah, it's fine I'm testing it with DC's latest rom. Re-downloading the 2nd kernel thanks. And for 2.2 it freezes whenever you reach the vanilla lock screen.

Using DC 3.2.3, but I have a Novatec display so I can't reap all the benefits. Still fun to overclock though! Thank you and I hope you or someone else can fix the Novatecs.

Look at the thread for novatec displays, the fps isn't as high as seen on the Epsons but everything here is there too.

I still have a 30 fps cap on mines using Fps2D.

I would use the one posted on link #12, but I want to use the camera.

I'll just settle with 30fps for now until they are able to fix it.

From my understanding Novatek's have higher FPS possibility, but what is go great about Epson?

Which is better?

I have Novatek. Also running DC v3.2.3

    NOTICES: If you are noticing abnormally high battery drain and/or uptime, and you've updated to PRI 1.90, it has come to my attention
    that this PRI has been problematic for a number of people, often resulting in large uptimes and/or poor battery life.
    This issue affects people regardless of whether or not they are using a custom kernel
    Downgrading your PRI and NV to 1.77 has been reported to resolve this issue.
    You can find all PRI and NV versions by clicking here.


    Due to troubling reports of battery issues possibly caused by the SBC battery charger modification, it is worth mentioning that by using any SBC build, you
    fully assume any and all potential risks that the SBC modification may pose.

    "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! :D
    If you get force closes on the camera, go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Camera -> clear data.
    -----------------------------
    2.6.32-based Kernels:
    Beta Testing Builds

    When making a post about any issues concerning beta builds, please include ALL of the
    following information if possible:
    1. Which kernel build(s) (ie; bfs/cfs havs/nohavs etc) are you using with the issue?
    2. What Rom are you using?
    3. If known, what OTA base is your rom using (ie; is it based on 3.29, 3.30, 3.70, etc)?
    4. Does the issue persist if you go back to a stable kernel build?
    5. The issue being experienced (obviously ;D)

    4.3x:
    To clear up some confusion that is apparently being spread around,
    4.3x builds do in fact work on all current evo models, not just the newest model.

    4.3.4:
    --CFS builds--
    No SBC:
    4.3.4-cfs-nohavs-noUV-nosbc (No Undervolting)
    4.3.4-cfs-nohavs-suv-nosbc (Static Undervolting)
    4.3.4-cfs-havs-less-nosbc (Less Aggressive HAVS)
    4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-nosbc (More Aggressive HAVS)

    SBC: Use sbc builds at your own risk.
    4.3.4-cfs-nohavs-noUV-sbc (No Undervolting)
    4.3.4-cfs-nohavs-suv-sbc (Static Undervolting)
    4.3.4-cfs-havs-less-sbc (Less Aggressive HAVS)
    4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-sbc (More Aggressive HAVS)

    For older beta builds click here.

    ---------------------------------------
    Stable Kernels:

    Universal Builds:

    4.3.1:
    --CFS builds--
    No SBC:
    netarchy-toastmod-cfs-havs-nosbc-universal
    netarchy-toastmod-cfs-nohavs-nosbc-universal

    --BFS builds--
    No SBC:
    netarchy-toastmod-bfs-havs-nosbc-universal
    netarchy-toastmod-bfs-nohavs-nosbc-universal

    These use Koush's anykernel for installation and should theoretically work on -any- rom.
    *note* This is designed to be flashed over a phone that already has a working kernel of some kind flashed,
    whether it's a stock kernel, or another custom kernel. In other words, if you can currently boot up your phone into whatever rom you have, this should work. ;D
    The universal kernel also does not contain the tweak scripts of the normal build (ie; zipalign on boot and the dalvik tweak), it's intended to be a universally compatible kernel.
    This also happens to mean the universal builds will probably work on CM

    For older builds click here.

    Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated.

    CFS Builds for 4.3.4 are up for testing, now with support for HDMI mirroring via HDMwIn, courtesy of Team Win.

    Notes for Revision 4.3.4
    - HDMwIn support added, you still need to download the free HDMwIn app
    from the android market to use HDMI mirroring
    - Timer tick set to 1000hz
    - Unnecessary extra debugging turned off for public builds, should result in a small speed boost


    BFS builds later, once I finish beating this wimax bug to death.

    Ok, this line of kernels is officially discontinued.

    There's no point continuing these as these are Froyo kernels and people have moved on to gingerbread. Once HTC get off their asses and actually releases the gingersense sources, I will probably make a new kernel thread for that.

    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!

    I just found out about the SD card speed issue/fix a few minutes ago. Looking into it for integration in the next build.

    In other news, the semester is done \o/

    The ending tally for this semester: 3 A's, 1 B.

    Now I can spend some time working on mah phone! ;D
