---- Alternate build that *might* address touch screen sensitivity issues I've heard a report of from one person, if the first kernel is working fine for you, you don't need this
(link temp removed until I have time to fix the zip)
----

What exactly is the difference between the two builds, please?

The only difference between the two are the init sequences for the epson, the values in the second build are from the htc released source while the first comes from the makeshift kernel.

Actually at the moment the epson gets higher fps, though when proper fixes are found for both there really should not be a difference in performance.

My biggest concern from the get go is the screen tearing. It's extremely annoying lol. Do you have any idea of a difinitive fix for this or anything of the sort?

2 things remain to be fixed:
1) Tweak the camera for proper default exposure in daylight and better quality 720p recording.
2) Tweak the microphone input for better quality in recording and calls.

If you guys can do that, the phone will be perfect.

I think once the Droid x source is released we need to compare the displays and hdmi code maybe that will provide us with more insight on where the cap is screens aren't exactly the same but there similar

So, the only problem that remains with this kernel, is the screen tearing? Nothing "Breaks" with this? (Camera, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc.)

I am running Damage Control 3.2.3, with the Aloysious theme.

What is "Screen tearing"? Is there a video or screenshot somewhere, to see this, before I flash, so I can decide if it is something I am willing to deal with?

I am flashing this on Fresh 0.5.3 and am getting infinite boot loops. Have any idea why? I am using Amon RA.

I've tried both versions and both result in a bootloop. Anyone having a similar problem? Running latest fresh.

The FPS fix seems to be consistent, but while it's always there as far as FPS2d is concerned, you can flip through the 7 home screens and it feels like you have it applied for a few swipes. But after a few swipes, it seems to start the touch lag again and slows down when swiping. It seems you can resume the quickness by opening an app and then coming back to the home screen. But like before, it goes back to having the touch lag after a few seconds; almost like something in the kernel kicked into action, like a governor on the fps. The slow down also occurs in the app list as well.

I hate to criticize, especially considering the camera actually WORKS on the kernel, but another note is when you record video on the camera, the screen tearing appears in the video itself, even when watching what you had recorded you can see the tearing. I will say though, the tearing in this fix is definitely less noticable. In the very first one, it was pretty bad, and the camera didn't even work.

I haven't been able to reproduce this so far, still bringing up youtube vids with no issues.

Are you possibly overclocking with setcpu?

I can't reproduce it as well (It happened twice last night). Must of been a coincidence or something. FYI using with latest Fresh rom and works perfect. I will definitely keep my phone on this kernel. Thanks again for modifying this kernel for us Epson folks

    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
