[HOWTO] Ingredients for an Extremely Fast MIUI Powered Evo (MIUI 1.8.12 SOON!))

[justs]

I call BS on the 30 hour BL for your phone

Why call BS? Instead why not try the set up for yourself and see if it works? He doesn't get any prize by coming in here and posting his method, so no incentive for him to fabricate anything. If there is one thing I have learned at this point it is that you can never discount any possibilities and no two EVOs behave even remotely alike. I regularly saw 26+/- hours on my EVO with the Savage 1.6 kernels so I don't see why another 4 hours would prove impossible.

[UPDATE] Never mind: I confused this with another thread. Sorry about that.

[ORIGINAL: Hey what happened to the OP?
It got reduced or something.

I wanted to get the link to the SavageZen kernal]

Couldn't have been said better. I don't play games on my phone all day, hence my battery will actually last 30 hours.

30 hours! wow i use vipers under-volt script -50 to. Plus i watch netflix, play games, use dolphin hd to the max, i really use my phone to its potential. So i really should consider this mod.

Whats the MTD Custom partition for? I went to the thread and looked for a couple sec's but it looks real scary lol. Any way someone can breifly explain what it does/the benefit? Thanks guy's.

I had 2 quick questions. I saw that S-Off is required, I rooted with Un-rEVOked, do I have what is required? And when you say to wipe and flash when upgrading ROM's or kernels, do you just mean wiping cache?

when you reboot into bootloader (before you select recovery when powering on while holding volume down) you should see on the top of your screen either s-off or s-on.


when upgrading ROM's of the same build (i.e. last weeks MIUI build to this weeks), you only need to wipe cache and dalvik cache.

when changing ROM's completely, you should always perform a data wipe as well

thank you very much

thanks for this guide, I did it before I flashed the update and I already notice that my RAM seems to be less bogged down and I haven't had to hot boot yet. Glad I bit the bullet

I updated the thread with the latest setup I'm running. MIUI is smoother than ever now and I'm getting a few more hours of battery life with Tiamat's latest kernel. I did some research and trying out the 200/100 MTD partitions is actually fine, and it could even be run as a 175/75 partition. I know that MIUI 1.5.27 takes up about 105mb of space so 175 is plenty... any takers for this experiment?

[baller159]

Since the new ViperMOD has came out, should we use that? or continue to use 2.2?

[TheRatDogMan]

Use the new 2.3 version. I have repartitioned my phone using the 200/100 script and its confirmed to work great as well.

how do you go about changing your cache? or is this in reference to a2SD?

Recovery Setup: 1024mb EXT3 partition with 128mb cache swap size

You change this with Amon RA when partitioning the SD card. I'm running a 512mb ext4 partition now fyi.

So after I flashed the new MIUI, I tried flashing the Tiamat kernel then the MTD after, and now I'm stuck in fastboot?

Any ideas?

[Джаггернаут]

and now I'm stuck in fastboot?

Any ideas?

You mean stuck in a bootloop?

Wipe cache / dalvik when flashing a the kernel. Try rebooting in between flashing the MTD and kernel too.

Not bootloop, it boots to fastboot. And everything I've tried so far will not let me boot into the actual rom.

I'm trying everything all over again.

[stephen240]

No not bootloop. Every time I reboot it goes to fastboot.

I'm trying everything all over again and will report.

Okay it only happens when I flash the Tiamat 4.0.4 kernel then the MTD. If I flash MIUI with the stock kernel it works fine.

Any thoughts?

Try searching Google for "phone boots in fastboot" seems to be others that have had the same problem.
