Anthrax-Kernels has released a new version of the Anthrax GSM and CDMA kernels for the HTC EVO 3D that address stability issues along with making some portions of the kernel fully Jelly Bean compliant.
Some of the neat features listed include the ability to put both of the phone’s cores to sleep when the PMU requests it, dynamic clock and voltage scaling support in all CPU governors, fastcharge support, NTFS file system support, CIFS/VPN/WiFi calling, two-way call record support, and full support of CyanogenMod 9,10, Sense 3.6 and 4.0 in one kernel.
It appears ZSL, which allows burst-mode picture taking with apps that support it, has been temporarily removed from the kernel. Hopefully this will be back soon though.
Listed as experimental are 24-bit 7.1 audio over HDMI, along with 120HZ 3D HDMI-out. Not having a 7.1 sound system and a 3D TV, I can’t really test the experimental goodies; if any of you do, please let me know how it works for you.
The kernel is packaged in an Aroma-based installer, meaning you may have to upgrade your recovery if you rooted a long time ago in order to access Aroma. I’m not sure if the oldest EVO 3D recovery was new enough to support Aroma or not.
Due to past issues, Anthrax kernels are only allowed as per the author to be distributed at Anthrax-US which is a members-only site. This keeps the kernel GPL compliant without the requirement to commit code to public repositories where it will inevitably be taken and claimed as someone else’s followed by the author being informed by the masses that he stole it from the person who stole it from him. Basically, it keeps drama to a minimum and kernels coming out.
In other words, if you want the kernel, you’ll have to sign up at Anthrax-Kernels and wait until they verify you. Sign up before you absolutely need the kernel.
Sound amazing only issue is you need a referrer to get in. Well if anyone wants to toss me a bone please feel free to do so lol and referr me lol
FYI…you do not need to be referred by anyone. Just sign up and they will approve you after reviewing your registration.
whats wrong with Anthrax why cant you just download the kernel … why do u need all that access permission????!!!
I’ll attempt to explain without bringing up the 2-year long circus that I watched:
Chad makes a kernel using open-source code and some proprietary code from Qualcom.
GPL requirements say that he has to release source unless he’s distributing this in a closed-organization.
HTC/Qualcom say he can’t release source to those elements.
When he releases any source, someone steals it, claims they wrote it first, and sicks their fans on him calling him a thief.
When his kernels get released into the wild, legal action that costs him money ensues.
So, in a nutshell, that’s it. You want his kernel that runs like a greased cheetah, you become a member of a closed org that is Anthrax-Kernels.US so that he can keep GPL compliant.
Want to not have to jump through the hoops, get a legal defense fund and someone to full-time go after the people who kang his kernel code and can educate the masses about who stole what.
I’ve watched legal threats, ddos attacks, and people dragging each other’s names through the mud for a kernel and getting banned off of other sites for a kernel that is developed for free.
That’s the short of it… to go into the two years I’ve watched detail, that’s a couple thousand words more… if you think you’re having to go through a lot of get it, you’re not going through anything compared to the drama that came before.
Signing up for the site is no big deal, there us no cgarge. Its no different then signing up for an xda account. Chads kernels are some if the best out there. Definitely worth taking a couple if minutes to sign up for.
I need a referrer to get in anyone that has an account want to hook me up??
Yeah. While I am one who usually hates to sign up for ONE MORE site, this is worth it.
Chad does good work. Can’t wait to see how this progresses.
I’m new to the drama that was but glad someone mentioned it in the ROM thread I’m using. This kernel flies and well worth the effort of signing up.
What is a Kernel or this Anthrax and how is beneficial? Do you have to be rooted. I havent heard of these terms seriously so help please lol
Been running it this kernel since it came out and it does fix the reboot issues. For anyone who has flashed any kernel besides the stock kernel they’ve been getting random reboots and guess who fixed it?…chad and his anthrax kernel! For anyone wanting the ZSL you can get his older kernels from his site anthrax-kernels.us you just need to look hard
Imteresting, i want to see what team noc makes out of this
tried the kernel it goes on boot loop
What ROM are you running it on, s-on or off, what’s your baseband at?
Hi Paul, I’ve been reading your posts for some time now. Thanks for all the information you and other people give on this site. I’m a noob to rooting and just rooted my EVO3d. Still in the learning phase. Can you please let me know what is the best kernel, recovery, and Rom combination for my device? Also, what exactly does a kernel do, and do I really need one or could I just keep the stock version. Right now I’m running the cool ics Rom and twrp recovery. Thx a bundle and sorry for any stupid questions. As I said before, I’m new to all this.
A kernel is the brains – it is the peice of software that reads the other software and runs it. Some kernels work better on some phones than others.
When you hear about overclocking or undervolting a phone, that’s all handled via the kernel. Basically it’s the brains… wait, I said that…
Right now the best recovery for that phone is 4EXT, as for ROM that’s all personal preference, and kernels have to be chosen by what ROM they’re running on.
I made an account, verified it, now when I open the link, it says:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else’s post, access administrative features or some other privileged system? 2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
And yes, I’ve already posted in Welcome.
