Hi guys. Could anyone please install OpenGL Extensions Viewer and confirm what version of OpenGL is included in ARHD by default? In the app look for Version line just below Resolution.

I updated the adreno drivers from here (v OpenGL ES 2.0 2131267) but totally forgot to take note about that info prior the update and i'm too lazy to restore the nandroid just to look for the number :D ... So far the drivers update is good i haven't had any issues yet, and the phone seems snappier, UI is smooth. Running the faux kernel v006b6 and it feels great. Although is my first charging cycle im above 24 hours and 32% left, which for me is the best batt life i've ever had :cool:

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
es 2.0 2131267
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Thanks buddy .. it seems to be the same version as the "updated" :eek:, what make me think about the latest faux kernel being responsible of the smoothness i'm experiencing right now :D. Thanks again my friend, i'm going to flash the ordroid version (OpenGL ES 2.0 2184622) its supposed to fix the green screen on skype.

Let's see how it goes
[HTC Sensation] Trekest:
Did you clear the cache partition after flashing?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
That's strange, since I ran the benchmarks I posted using faux 006b6 before and after flashing the driver updates, and both with forced 2d gpu rendering checked ?!

2D rendering went from 148 to 298 and I feel the difference, big time !

Here they are again :

Before :

After :

JP.

PS: I cleared the caches, btw.
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Nice. ;)
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I'm sorry, but what is strange? what was your driver version before and after flashing the update? That was my original question and according to hinxnz answer ARHD already include the v OpenGL ES 2.0 2131267.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well this is what I found to be strange :

1. Can't be the kernel, since I had 006b6 before flashing the new drivers. (or you have been sarcastic there and I missed that :cool:)

2. Can't be the same driver, since where would the difference come from then ?

Now since I changed only the drivers between the benchmarks (benchmark - recovery - flash driver - reboot - benchmark), it must be the drivers.

Sadly I didn't check what version I had before, but now I have ES 2.0 2131267 shown, just as you have.

The driver I flashed by the way is the one attached to this post, I think that is the same driver you tested, right ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I agree with you, and i also noticed the phone running smoother but my "problem" was that i flashed the kernel and drivers almost at the same time so i can't tell if it was drivers or kernel what did the improvement.

I rely on what hinxnz said and if the drivers are the same the only one left is the new kernel :D that's why i said "it must be the kernel". I've seen mike asking in that thread whether or not including this drivers on the next release so i'm not sure about the current version (that's why i asked) maybe we can have a few more answers to confirm the correct current version?

We both have flashed the same file from the same thread, although there is apparently a newer version included in ordroid that allegedly fixes the green screen on skype :eek: i haven't tried that one yet.

Thanks for answering :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I'm pretty sure that it is the driver, since I ran the benchmarks explicitely because of my intension to flash the driver... the kernel I had flashed earlier.

Will reflash AHRD (to get the old driver) and check as I get to it, and post my findings ;)

JP.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Are you using ondemand when you benchmark?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Cool thanks. Please post what version you got with the reflashed ROM
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Nope, I use my default daily settings, which is intellidemand but with changed min/max frq. (192MHz - 1.73GHz).

I consider it best to benchmark at my normal config, because I don't see the use of a benchmark if it's just for the sake of it.

I don't go much by benchmarks, just use them to have a quick comparison between changes to confirm my feeling of the change.

JP.

PS: I'm back on stock ARHD, dalvik cache is being rebuilt, stock version info coming soon ;)

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

OK, here you go !

Hmm ... well I have to confirm what is not making

ANY

sense to me, the "old" or "stock" driver on AHRD6.6.3 gives the same version number : ES 2.0 2131267.

But my 2d Test (forced 2d gpu on) on Antutu is now low again, 151 :confused:

For me there's only 3 possible conclusions :

1. the version returned by the driver is wrong (not updated) => seems not probable

2. there is only a difference in some extension of the driver, thus no new driver version => my knowledge here is not that good, someone ?

3. only part of the 2131267 are included in AHRD => but would Mike miss to add a library or sth like that, I really don't think so

So ... :confused: :confused: :confused: :eek:

Anyway, I'm reflashing the "newer" 2131267 driver, cause I really like what it does to my Sensation :cool:

JP.

PS: I've taken screenshots of the full list the OpenGL app gives. Now restoring my Nandroid and doing the same with new driver and will post all of them, so we know exactly where we stand (or we're completely lost :D)
[HTC Sensation] Frenix27:
Ok but see this test of nkojic:

Cpu score is so higher than mine!
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Here are the promised screenshots !

Pics 1-6 are with stock ARHD 6.6.3 driver (system time in screenshot 11:22 - 11:26), pics 7-12 with this driver (system time in screenshot 11:41 - 11:45).

JP.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Where can we find the "new" driver (218) used in ordroid? :)

Edit, found them here :)
[HTC Sensation] almighty15:
The newedt driver is actually 218 and is amazing, currently running it myself.

Scoring 54fps on nenamark with the 218 driver compared to 47fps on the stock driver.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
It is strange as some of the files in the .zip are different to what we have and some we don't have either.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Agreed, found that strange, too.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
guys looking for some final verdict: should I include new adreno drivers in 6.6.4?
[HTC Sensation] miimben:
just to ask if connecting to a ad hoc network can be enable in here?

on ARHD xe 6.6.3

tried ad hoc enabler but cant work
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Yeah! Looking forward to it! :D Put it as an option like the bravia engine and camera mod. :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Yes for me, I already cooked myself a customized ARHD 6.6.3 zip with them ;)
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:

[HTC Sensation] Dr.dre:
A definite Yes! Looking forward to try it out!
[HTC Sensation] charuc14:
Yes mike.....really waiting for that....
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
By new you mean 213 or 218 version? 218 is causing trouble with some games and apps (ie: instagram, asphalt) and the latest version posted on the official webpage seems to be the 213.

I feel that v 213 its already an improvement and its fully compatible with all apps. Ill be ok with that one :) i'd rather use my apps than run benchmarks all day long. Benchmarks are as useful as wiping batt stats:p

Thanks mike
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Agreed.

The "new" 213 (or whatever we should call it) was the version I was thinking of when I said "Yes for me" :rolleyes: I must admint I have not tested the 218, though.

Thanx for pointing out that "little", but so important detail, joaquinf !! ;)

Flash content not working on default browser

Hi all,

Great rom!! With the nonsense script is almost perfect for me.

But i have a problem, on default browser (or dolphin hd) i can't see the flash content like games or flash webs, just a white frame.

This happens from the first boot of the rom. I try uninstalling adobe flash player and reinstalling it with no luck.

My steps from the beginning

format sd,

zip copy to sd

install full_whipe_ext4,

install rom 2.1.0,

launch nosense script (i did try without it too)

Finish first boot setup and config wifi connection

open a flash content -> ****ing white frame

If i go to adobe check flash version web, i can see the current version and the capable options on.

On vodafone stock android works fine.

Help please

Thanks in advance

I like it, looks more organized and easier to read. Well done. I like the "support almost 24 hours" too :D

Would you mind updating the guide's title in "you need" section? You have the old one, new thread title is in my signature.

Thanks

Edit: I also noticed you havent changed the included kernel details since 1.2 and 1.5 from sebastian :p
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Easier to read, thanks for the update.

Could you possibly remove "CRT Screen-off Animation"

from this line:

Advanced Power Menu, CRT Screen-off Animation & other mods are in the 2nd post!

We don't have any CRT animations for current ARHD versions and there are no links in the 2nd post even for older ones.

Thanks!

One other thing, You have Joaquinf's guide linked, but the title is off by a couple versions. "[GUIDE]How to flash ARHD 6.2.x series" <-- 6.6.x series?

[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:

Will u include the new driver in your next update?

[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:

[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
the new adreno drivers?

working great on me..
[HTC Sensation] garou_umbra_warrior:
The new adreno drivers work fine.the newest bricked kernel makes it loop.sorry for the vague comment mike.you handiwork is always superb..
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Well then you can say it in the thread for the bricked kernel or else ppl will get confused.
[HTC Sensation] ruijay:
sorry if I am missing something, but what happened to the direct links to download the ROMs?

CPU stuck on 100%

Hello,

I wonder if anybody experienced the same issue: sometimes CPU0 gets stuck on max frequency, load at 100%. I am unable to reproduce this behaviour intentionally but it happens approx. every other day. The phone gets hot and starts to eat battery, usually that is how I notice something is wrong. If I kill everything, the load still remains 100%. I only found restart helpful. I am also pretty sure that this never happened while I was on GB.

I tried to search and found that using faux's kernel might cause similar issues but I am and have always been a Sebastian's user.

I also tried to identify what might cause the high CPU load but did not find anything unusual in SystemTuner's task manager (listing system and kernel processes too).

So:

- does anybody have a clue what causes this behavior?

- can you recommend a tool that I can use to reveal the process causing high CPU load?

- How shall I proceed?

- ...

Thank you for you help!

P.s.: ROM-wise I am on ARHD 6.6.3, with recommended firmware and LeeDroid Tweaks 4.3.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
I did wait a long time but still none of the pictures got synced!
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Hey. Try Faux's kernel. Phone doesn't get hot so easily on his kernel. :) hope this helps. :D

Thanks but I just want to find the process that locks CPU. I would rather stay with Sebastian's.

Thanks.

[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:

It does sync my faceboot contacts and i can see all of them in my contacts, but does not show any of their pictures. I use facebook pictures for my contacts and since these pictures do not sync, none of my contacts have any picutres.

Letter missing from dialer

I've been on 6.6.x since it came out but I've only recently noticed something odd about the dialer: the letters are missing from the keypad if you bring up the keypad *after* a call is in progress. This is extremely annoying if you're trying to do the "please spell the person's last name in our dial-by-name directory" thing.

First question is: am I the only one noticing this?

Second question: assuming I'm not the only one seeing this, what can be done to fix it?
[HTC Sensation] dajogejr:
Search chmod 666

Did you by any chance just run fix permissions? Known issue.

There's a command line you enter from a SU terminal session on the phone.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
I dont think i did recently. but what should be the file name after chmod 666?
[HTC Sensation] Leemur89:
Well, just make sure you use up your phone's battery til it gets to zero. Then charge it to 100% plus 30 minutes more. Keep doing this a few times and it should improve vastly :-)

Yes include 2.18 in the rom definitely:)

Wouldn't be bad if it's included in 6.6.4.. :)
[HTC Sensation] Dr.dre:
For me 2.18 works fine so far but some people were facing some problems with it! So I think you should include 2.13, which works fine for everybody from what I have read from the comments so far.
[HTC Sensation] mwl1119:
Not to change the subject but I don't get why HTC went through all the trouble of making sense 3.6 this slick black theme but stopped at that and left all the sense apps like dialer/contacts, mail, friendstream, etc the same ugly white from 3.0.

I would like to suggest a dark theme variant option so that the apps match the settings menu.

Hi,

I'm on 218 now (link a few posts back).

Booted fin, will start testing now...

First thing I notice, though, the UI is just as fast with and without forced 2d GPU rendering.

So I turned it off, since I read somewhere that xda app had issues with attached images with it activated...

Anyhow, if it's fast on it's own, I'd rather uncheck that option ;)

EDIT : ---------------------------------

AnTuTu 2d Benchmark is now 298 in that setup, which is nice and confirms my feeling !!
