Faux vs. Bricked

Yet another thing about speed/power.

I´ve try those both kernels with exactly same configurations.

Rom Revolution HD 4.1.6 Sense 3.5

Faux Pyramid-Kernel-024b7-N-sense-1.56GHz.zip

Bricked-v1.5-ondmnd-1536-192.show-p1984.zip

Wake State Settings

Wake Min: 384000

Wake Max: 1450000

Wake Gov: ondemand

Sleep State Settings

Sleep Min: 192000

Sleep Max: 384000

Sleep Gov: conservative

Both installed with wiped cache partition and dalvik cache

In my use Faux are faster, but Bricked have some % better powersaving/timeunit.

Another thing with camera-app: Faux kernel lockup my sensation when have camera on and goto sleepmode, But with bricked kernel no problem with camera.

So my opinion about the leading kernels: For my use there are no major difference at all.

Screen Grab

Hi Guys,

Just changed the build prop to read ro.htc.framework.screencapture=true

wiped dalvik cache and main cache, rebooted and now I can make screengrabs but when I look at the properties of the jpeg it says 0kb.

Any ideas?

[HTC Sensation] cellsitetechstl:
well b7 kernel and updated radio... 6hrs 30 minutes on battery and at 79 percent with very low usage... better certainly but we will see after a charge or 2 how much better.... MIKE when can we expect 3.6.6? and what type of overclocking will be possible?
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Okay, doesn't flatten the widgets after a cache/dalvik wipe either. I'll leave the APK up there in case someone else wants to look at it.

[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
same problem for me, last 2 months I haven't solved it lol
[HTC Sensation] gapper100:
I downloaded your file, and got it to work by doing this:

- Delete (the original) Rosie.apk from /system/app using ES File Explorer

- adb push (the new) Rosie.apk /system/app

- adb reboot bootloader

- Clear cache, Dalvik and Fix Permissions

- Reboot system

- Install the new Rosie.apk from /system/app (just by clicking it)

- Reboot to Recovery again

- Clear Cache, Dalvik and Fix Permissions

- Reboot, there you go :)

I guess it can be done much easier, but this is what I did and it worked. Thanks for the apk!

I use ARH v1.1.6
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Yep, nothing special actually, a lot of things not working as far as I saw, not worth to play with just to have .4 instead of .3 ;) Especially that 2.3.4 is nothing spectacular ;) I'll wait for official WWE base which should be much more stable ;)

[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I did some trick in 1.1.7 and this error should never come back again.
[HTC Sensation] kayroccs:
by the way idk if anyone did this before but i uninstalled deamon controller and i realize that the ROM performs better meaning theres more smoothness....can some one confirm this for me ...ohhh also im on .6 and clocked at 1.2ghz
[HTC Sensation] Tunay:
I had some huge lag with keyboard in 1.1.5. Anyone else?
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
The daemon controller is just an app to easily the files that are already on your device (virtuous oc). With it deleted the oc is still in tact.. So I think it's a placebo effect on your end.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Daemon controller is just an app reading values from system/etc/virtuous_oc... but here is new version, maybe will work better: http://androidrevolution.nl/Sybregunne/DaemonController-1.13.apk

Will be included in 1.1.7
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
mike, just wanna say, I've been extremely happy with your ROM after just over 24 hours of use. Cant complain about battery life at all. Everything is running smooth as cheese.

This new 1.1.6 release, & the few changes you've made... are people reporting possitive feedback? I dont really see much UI lag at all, so I doubt I'm going to change, so was just curious :-)

Thanks & good work
[HTC Sensation] ancola66:
Thanks for your information.
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
I kind of figured you would.

I have been watching for the changelog for 1.1.7 to see what you're up to over there. I think I broke the forums for a while hitting F5. :)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Go for 1.1.7 when it's out ;) I'm trying to solve ALL issues, even the smallest one ;)
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
From what I undersand.... 1.1.6 was targeted at those who were reporting lag. If you're not having any issues with 1.1.5 then you can probably wait for 1.1.7.

EDIT: What Mike said. :)
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
He posted a link to 1.14 a little earlier on this thread

[HTC Sensation] kayroccs:
mike

yea i know its an app but im not a developer or anything but can it be how the app reads the values that can cause a different effect for the rom
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Issue with market and cache partition solved. Fixed in 1.1.7 :)

Can someone help me? Im running ARHD 3.6.5 rom and when Im using Qik Video, the other person says im upside down. I look through this thread to see if theres a fix but couldnt find one.. Sorry if there is one but I couldnt find it.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I'm positive that this issue was never mentioned here on the thread. I assume you have tried this app with another ROM on the sensation before?
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
The Qik fix is to use Skype :)

I don't believe there is a fix for that.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

It was mentioned by a few users on here, but there was never a fix for it. I think most of the people here don't use Video Calling, or use something that is working. Skype, Tango ect. Qik was never a good app to begin with, TMO put that app in the MyTouch phone so that they can sell more of them, but out of the box it never worked properly.
[HTC Sensation] preficks:
Hmm, still having the same problem of the News and Weather widget not updating properly under 3.6.5 with 0.2.4b7. It seems to work for a little while, and then if the phone is restarted, or if the phone goes into power save mode due to low battery, and is recharged, News & Weather doesn't resume updating.

Thanks! Hopefully they can put out a fix for it.

[HTC Sensation] Hellas4:
Hey guys there..

searching about "battery" or "battery problem" saws a million posts.. :P

Did anybody have the same problem like me?

Problem: I have 65% battery.I restart phone, and then i have 20%.

or the opposite. i have 20% (at least thats what it shows) ,restart and have 35%...

Has someone mentioned it before? is a known prob? I am gonna freak out,i dont know how much battery i have!!

I use ARHD 3.6.5 and have 4ext recovery.no themes,mods etc added,just pure rom.

PLEASE HELP!
[HTC Sensation] gewit:
Did you wippe battery stats?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Those jumps are quite common. First prob is that the sensation has a ****ty battery reporting. That's common to all ROMs. Second prob is that some kernels add probs to that. So with another kernel you MAY (far from sure) make it better, but you won't remove the prob. It's very unconsistent, thus hard to fix. A battery calibration would be a start.
[HTC Sensation] gewit:
Fully charge battery,wipe battery stats,then calibrate battery and see what happends..
[HTC Sensation] Hellas4:
Thanks everybody .. calibrating battery?? leane it under 5% and charge with power off until green led? am i correct?
[HTC Sensation] gewit:
Calibrate battery:download apk.from market Battery calibration,and than fully charg your phone,unplug it .than press calibrate.Or go to recovery and wipe battery stats manualy.Hope it helps.

Ohh yeah.I dont think is necessary to turn your phone off.

Try this and see how it goes..
[HTC Sensation] BladeKnight:
its all about marketing jotha....and new phones are coming out nxt year....:D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu I didn't click to install it.

/headdesk

Brb, testing.

[Edit] Okay you don't need to click to install. You don't need to wipe cache or dalvik either.

What you do need to do is make sure system is mounted r/w before pushing the file -.-

So yeah, it works- have at it guys.

Haha, I was kinda assuming you'd done that, so I wanted to really try everything imaginable, hence the ridiculous amount of steps (A)

i assume it was for the 4.1 i just tested and its not taking going to test to try to fix it...unless it was for 3.6 lol
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Yes, it's Sense 3.0 only. I'll make a 3.5 version if there's enough demand for it. In the meantime, here's a flashable zip to install the modified Rosie:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29007105/ultra_smooth_rosie_mod_sense3.0_sensation_catnap-signed.zip

Backup your Rosie.apk before doing this, and remember not to install this on Sense 3.5 / ARHD 4.1.x.
[HTC Sensation] fallenangel408:
lol thats why it didnt take ;) yes please make one for both, i think mike1986 wants to post on first page as a mod
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Actually it didn't take in recovery either because of... well, I dunno. Eventually I used shell to remove the original Rosie and copy it from the sdcard. No idea why it was copying and completing... and not doing anything.

Gimme 30 minutes for a Sense 3.5 version. I can't test it as I don't have a 3.5 install but I'll make the changes anyway.
[HTC Sensation] fallenangel408:
kool i will test. i will try on the 3.6 as well since i have a test phone with that build on it :)
[HTC Sensation] jotha:

What works well on one,may not work as well on another.

Have you considered making a nandroid ,

I forgot to write to give explanation, but...

If I remember u wrote that 1.5 freezes phone for u? Thats why u prefer 1.4r1?

Well, hope this helps people somewhat; just giving something back.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Yes, me and some other users had freezes with 1.5. That's why I prefer 1.4r1.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
It's a small edit which tells Rosie to use the same scrolling method as when you spin the homescreens around fast enough to get the carousel effect- which is rendered on the GPU. It also flattens the widgets to make things faster as well.

It's a pretty simple edit really; just involves inserting a few lines of code, and it's not my own work- I followed the guide on the DHD forums.

For me, it's pretty damn smooth now.
[HTC Sensation] fallenangel408:
the sense 3.5 rosie didnt work if ur doing something to it here is our original rose.apk if u can do it and send file back i will fix one for the 4.1.X users thanks
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Well, definitly all devices are different :D

Or is it the ROM? On ARHD 3.6.5 XE, I had quite different results.

I've been using Bricked for some times now (since the excellent 0.91), and decided to give a new try to Faux kernel when flashing ARHD 3.6.5

I've been using Faux very latest for 3 days, then when back to Bricked (that gave me its exact usual battery use and performances, I need no real need to let a kernel settle for some days for me)

Faux very latest Kernel (before the sad end of his Sensation adventure, respect to him, he deserves it) finally gave me pretty good performances, better than his previous releases, and the extreme battery drain it used to have was finished.

Bricked (1.5) is for me a very little more powerful and drains a little less battery, especially when screen is ON. But Faux latest was very good too.

So for me both are now good, and for me and my device (and my use?), Faux, that used to be significantly under Bricked since Bricked 0.91, is now just a little under for performance and battery, not very far from Bricked, both are reliable and battery saver enough.

Just I wish Faux could have had time to implement the CPU freq reading in his kernel, even Faux Clock can't read the CPU frequencies in real time. It's most pf the time useless, I know, but I like to be sure my cores run at 192mhz when doing nothing, I mean when you have a bad kernel or did a bad flash, you often can notice your CPUs don't stay at their minimum freq when idle.

Would be interested to know if it did work though (for jotha).
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Well, who knows?

Faux didn't say that he wouldn't keep developing. He just pulled the thing from xda. His thread on rootzwiki is still there and complete. So maybe we'll get new faux-kernels from there in the future. I don't think we'll have seen the last of faux ;).

Ultra-Smooth Rosie hack.

Original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302914
[HTC Sensation] Maeffjus:
So as I still experience a heavy battery drain (3.6.5, faux123 0.2.4r) I thought about undervolting.

How this is done?

I read the complete page from the kernel but this information was still not sufficient for me - so do I have to flash that small file which is somewhat arround 5kb? Or do I have to do something else?

I'm also pretty unsure regarding the currentwidget which is showing most of the time an idle-drain of 50-100mA what seems pretty much to me. Do you guys think that reading is reliable?

I'd in 17,5hrs it dropped from a full battery (loaded overnight) to 30% - in my opinion this is a pretty quick discharge.

Download the -25,-50 oooorrr -75 (depending on how far you want to undervolt) and flash it in 4ext/clockwork. Done.

(As always. Practice safe flashing and make sure you wipe your cache)
