Hi guys I was wondering if anyone could help me out here. I have been trying out some new ROMS and kernels and I rcently began to notice that there are black lines flashing off ad on my screen which is very annoying. Does anyone know how this happend and if this can be fixed? any help and input would be so appreciated
Does it do that with all the roms? Try going back to bone stock un rooted, if it still does it I'd guess hardware issue and return it to sprint. Make sure it's totally unrooted though!

It's most likely the kernel you flashed. If you use say a Savage-zen Kernel with a sense rom, you will get the black lines that look like tearing. It's because you need to use Sense Kernels with Sense roms, and ASOP Kernels with ASOP roms like CM6 or CM7. To fix, just Wipe cache, Factory reset, and install the rom again, but don't flash the kernel. Hope that helps.
Thanks a lot guys I think that was the issue, I was flashing a Savage Zen 2.1 kernel and the kernel was for gingerbread and the ROM I was using was the Acer Liquid port over. Thank you for the help and clearing things up, the problem has been solved

Hey I was wondering I have been looking at all the roms out there for the EVO and most of the roms have things broken in it. And so I wanted to know if anyone had a suggestion of what Rom I should flash over stock that will give me the most benefit cause I use all the features of the phone , including 4G I just need something complete. Also if that's not possible yet I would like to know what kernel will work best for stock.thanks
You can try fresh Rom it has everything working. I just use rooted stock ROM with kings #11 cfs kernel.
sweet man thanks for the reply how is that kernel?
So far its ok. There are people who sat its not that great and that another version of kings kernel is better... I can't remember the version that was being recommended...
Hey check out MYN RLS2 its sweet! Perfect for anyone wanting to keep sense.
Newb question that I couldn't find the answer to.
Since CyanogenMod is AOSP and Stock is Sense:
Does the current version of CyanogenMod (v7.x) download files contain changes to the kernal?
If not, will Cyanogen v7.x run stable with the Stock HTC kernal?
I want to try out Cyanogen v7 but due to work I need to be able to flip back to Stock rooted for stability if needed. I just want to know if I'll need to worry about flashing the kernal too when flipping back and forth.
Thanks....
Any ROM comes packaged with an appropriate kernel once flashed. There are alternatives but the stock Cyanogen kernel is pretty boss on its own.
Yes cm7 contains its own aosp kernel.
No sense kernels will not work on aosp roms.
Every rom comes with its correct kernel.no need to flash one unless you want to.

Thanks for the reply.
Will be giving the latest cyanogen RC a try tonight.
And, as I just read, the Nand backup covers the kernal, I wont have to worry about separatly flashing the kernal back to stock if I need to restore.
Somewhere I got the idea that the ROM and Kernal were separate flashes.
Thanks....
Not sure about anyone else, but cyanogenmod included kernel for me has been pretty much 100% stable for me. I didn't get any restarts until I started flashing other kernals and some mods.
Hi.
I cant seem to get my girlfriends wildfire to accept a overclocked kernel after i used Alpha´s new s-off tool, and rooted it. No matter what kernel i use, it never starts up, it hangs very long time at the screen, HTC makes it quietly (or something) and then i restarts?
Any suggestions?
And no, she dosent want CM, she wants sense :-(
Cheers and thx for helping.

then only one solution I belive ,reflash rom...then be easy on oc,step by step and nex time skip to sheck "set on boot option,then if it freezes it will boot stock @528 and you wil know what is max Mhz you can set, good luck
There's another problem with your idea...
Whenever he flashes a OC Kernel he's bootlooping.
he should post what rom is he trying to oc then we will be smarter I belive,like this its just guesing... right
Edit:when he reflash rom he will be able to BOOT right?
Guessing from the fact he mentioned HTC Sense, I'm presuming he's using stock.
And yes, it should since ROMs install a new Kernel.
should use custom sense based rom, not the stock
There's only one person that can tell us that *cough*
just trying to help,since he cant get oc on stock rom with any oc kernel...custom rom is logic idea i belive
That's true.
And if his GF is not so technologically interested she wouldn't notice the difference between stock or WildPuzzle ;D
Have you tried HCDR.kernel v4.2. It can be flashed on any wildfire rom.
Personally tried it on stock 2.2.1 (after alpharevx s-off) without any issues.
Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
You further need an overclocking app like set cpu. If facing any issues, format the phone and make a clean install. Still facing issues, go with a sense custom Rom which already has inbuilt oc kernel.

Hi guys, sorry for not answering, but i live in Denmark and its now 10 o´clock in the morning, i posted just before midnight.
She is using stock rom 2.2, and i have tryed the wildpuzzle and i didnt think it was smooth, it gave her errors, and then she complained :-(
I have tryed theese kernels:
oc-kernel-2.6.32
oc-kernel-2.6.32 v2
Hcdr.kernel_4.2b_flashable
Could there be a recovery version issue, using 2.5.0.7, just wild gues?
Thx for helping me out.
Brian
Well you can only flash Kernels with 2.5
Have you tried other Sense based roms?
(DK custom or JokerDroid (has a different theme then stock))
Hi.
Yes i have tryed those, but she is not like me, she wants a phone that is working 100%, me i dont care, i work on my legend all the time.
So the fact that she wants a phone that is working 100% made me stay on stock and try to renew the kernel, but isnt working the way i want it to.
Maybe i shold try a clean install og stock, and then the kernel
Tryed again, fresh stock rom, still no good.
Jokerdroid 4.2 worked, lets se her reaction
Thx for helping.

Hello XDA,
I have been searching around but can't find anything relative to my experiences.
I have tried flashing many different kernels on top of my rooted stock 2.2 and I always end up with a boot loop of the HTC logo.
I was wondering if there is a way to flash a different kernel and have it function properly. I want to be able to overclock and install a patch from the call recording app in the DEV section. A link to reading material would suffice or any help would be appreciated.
Info:
Stock 2.2 rooted

Thanks again

You could try using a Virtuous kernel, I'm not sure if they will work on stock though.
Here's a link to some kernels.
You should really install a custom rom though if you want performance.

Thanks for the reponse. I was using CM7 and loved it, but I really need my call recording to work and it was very intermittent with CM7.
I got it working properly on stock now by installing baconbits 0.3 then flashing the kernel and for some reason it worked.
If you have any suggestions as to a "stockish" type rom, I'm open to it.

Virtuous Sense is based off the official updates from HTC, only optimized and touched up a bit.

Guys i've flashed SFM 3.0 hero, good rom but the wifi doesn't works so i want come back to stock. the big problem is that's my sister's phone and this rom has deleted the recovery and now i don't manage to reinstall it. it says flash_image not found. i even tried with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 at the step missing flash image, but every thing i do it get reveals useless. here's a screenshot of prompt adb: http://imageshack.us/f/338/immaginevi.png/
Guys please help me, it's important!
more details:
i've started with the stock 2.1 and rooted with universal androot and flashed SFM 3.0 with AmonRA recovery.
now if i try open the recovery it's stuck on the bootlogo. i tried with fastboot, adb, the official RUU but it says that my phone's firmware is wrong.
update: now doesn't stuck on the boot logo, but it boots normally without a recovery.
it's rooted on the SFM 3.0 rom and give the "flash_image not found" error
first things first. i have no idea how to get back to stock using the official RUU
however i do have a few alternatives you could try just in case you don't find the answer your looking for
now you say you flashed sfm 3.0. a similar rom to this would be Wildheroc ROSE V5. its exactly the same as sfm 3.0 but its more stable. it can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316886 also you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24343144&postcount=500 which is a themed version of ROSE V5 created by slobo2712.
if your looking for a stock rom then i highly recomend Heroine ++ which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295991 this rom is seriously fast. its basically the same as stock with a few minor adjustments here and there
there are other roms which remove sense from your phone that i could recommend but if your looking to keep sense on your phone then those two roms are the ones I'd highly recommend
i know this doesn't exactly answer your question of how to flash the official RUU from HTC but as i said previously in the post i simply don't know. these are just a few options you could try if you don't find your answer.
if i can't access the recovery how can flash another rom??

Ahhh ok must have missed that bit
Can you still use the phone normally???? If so maybe try installing Rom manager from the market and then flashing the recovery from there
Could be worth a try

i managed it with an official RUU, don't remember wich. now i've another problem. from 2.1 stock i've flashed Elelinux gingerbread ROM, but 3D games like dead runner wich worked on stock rom on this one don't work. maybe the kernel? i still have the stock one.

Do you DEFINITELY still have the stock kernal? The reason I ask is because Elelinux roms usually come with flykernal13.
Sometimes re flashing a rom can solve issues. So I'd say go into your recovery and wipe data 2 or 3 times just to make sure because 1 wipe sometimes doesn't get rid of everything. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then re flash the rom
If that doesn't work then you could try flashing the Las Venturas kernal but I'd doubt it would be a kernal problem
You're wright it isn't a kernel problem but i did all kind Of wipes but 3D games and applications don't work

Hmmm if they worked on stock then I'd expect a newer version of Android to be ok as well . I'm not a big gamer on my phone so can't say I've ever experienced these problems
What games and applications don't work? And do they not work completely? Or just not as good as on stock?

I always turn off the screen off animation, I find it annoying personally
I'll try those games on my phone. I'm using a sense rom so I'll see if they work on this
EDIT: couldn't try dead runner or cut the rope because there paid apps but fruit slice worked fine

Fine but The screen off animation works good for you? Anyway i meant on gingerbread roms not on sense roms

The sense rom I was using is a gingerbread rom. Anyway I switched to elelinux to see if maybe it was the rom causing problems but fruit slice was perfect on my phone

and for all of you, wich is the best hero's ROM?

I've never touched the bootloader so I'm afraid I can't really answer that question
As for best Rom. There isn't really an overall best rom. It all just comes down to personal preference and what your looking for in a Rom but there are roms that are a step ahead in each android version.
If stock 2.1 is what your looking for then you can't beat heroine ++ if you want sense or you could try VE 6.2 if you want AOSP
As for 2.2 froyo you could try FloYo. I used it once and it seemed ok
And as for 2.3 gingerbread. If your after a 2.3 sense Rom then wildheroc is by far the best one around at the moment. As for 2.3 AOSP roms I'd highly recommend decked_x or any of the elelinux roms or even the two latest cyanogenmod nightlies
