Got 2942 on quDrant with ondemand @ 1566, very impressed. And the ROM itself feels a bit snappier. V5 on 1.0.3 ROM. No bad stuff so far. Using for about 2 hours.
[HTC Sensation] Crusher16:
Ive had 2 bad wakes so far on the V5 kernel.

Flashing V6 beta2 right now.
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
I got my first black screen on v5 after 30 or so hours of use. Trying v6 Beta 2 now, will report back. Hopefully battery life on v6 is as good as it was on v5

Edit:

v6 killed my SD write speed. On v5, write speed is 10mb/s. On v6, write speed is ~4mb/s and not consistent. Hiccups alot. I also noticed a wifi speed drop with v6.

Flashing back to v5.

Speedwise, v6 is way more fluid and faster than v5.

Keep up the good work!
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Virtuous .3 installed.

Kernel Tests so far (quadrant):

Stock Kernel (No OC, right out of the ROM): 2250

V5 (1200/1350/1500): ~980-1150 (bad joke, again with microlags)

V6 (1350): ~2600 (very snappy, no problems so far, except SetCPU is FCing and black screening)

EDIT:

V6 or .3 just semi killed my phone.

After a frozen screen for 2 minutes I pulled the battery, and powered my phone back on. It was stuck at the Bootsplash. So I went into recovery and tried to restore my latest backup. CWM told me that it has found no /cache partition. To fix this I needed to manually reformat my /cache partition because it was corrupt. The automatic CWM function, or a stock RUU didn't work either.

I am now back to stock rom with stock kernel.
[HTC Sensation] HTCPharos/P3470:
For me the v5 kernel is working perfectly. I just cleared the cache and fixed permissions. Seems to work even smoother now.
[HTC Sensation] zoth:
Thanks for putting a lot of effort on the Kernel it's trully the part that needs to be taken care of. ROM is perfect.
[HTC Sensation] jureca:
Thanks for the great ROM, some Thema of bathery for this ROM? , thanks
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
Agreed-- I've been running ROM v.1.0.3 on the stock kernel. Solid as a rock, and super damn smooth all the way around.

I'll be on the sidelines for the test kernels for the time being, though. Thanks for all of the updates!
[HTC Sensation] NoModE:
I ran V6 beta2 for 1 hour today and had 3 black screens after every call i made, so i vent back to stock. (Yes i cleared cache and dalvik cache.)

I hope you find out what's causing this soon.
[HTC Sensation] Amdufresne:
Thank you for this, it is awesome. loving the graphical upgrades and its running very smooth. You are awesome.
[HTC Sensation] Jason Syn:
Absolutely, positively in love with this ROM! It's so smooth and so clean, battery life is unbelievable. Thank you thank you thank you!
[HTC Sensation] imphoking:
I've been using .1.0.3 with v6 beta2 no screen of death after calls what I did was upped the sleep min to 43200 and max to 648000 working amazing
[HTC Sensation] escalator:
...never had a black death, evertime I used the newest available kernel! Go on MDJ! :D

Nice work!
[HTC Sensation] ohliu:
Wow. I'd be lying if I said this rom didn't turn me on.

Ohhh yeah.
[HTC Sensation] d-iivil:
V6 Beta2 seems to work fine on my device :)

Got +3500 Quadrants with Mike's rom and this kernel OC'd to 1,62GHz.
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
Did some testing, as much as i could in my spare time, this is what i found:

Stock Kernel - most fluid and stable / no posibillity to OC, slightly battery drain

RCMIX Kernel - not so fluid and stable (black screens, black screen on reboot - rarely, but present) / can be OC-ed, best benchmarks scores, HUGE battery drain ( it is implied if you OC, but still ... i hate battery drains and i personally don.t see the point of OC-ing unless you have a constant power source and the ,,munchies,, for burning out the cpu :) )

UNITY Kernel (6 beta 2) - stable and fluid (but i feel that not as fluid as stock) / didn.t OC-ed ( demon controller or setcpu doesn.t work, you will have to manually input values which i didn.t have the time or needs to do ) / best battery life from all of them ( makes a huge difference in battery lifetime )

Leedroid Kernel 1.4 - i don,t know, i just don.t like it :P

so to sum up : fluidit and stable _ STOK KERNEL / OC and Benchmark scores _ RCMIX KERNEL / BATTERY LIFE _ UNITY KERNEL

... at least for me :)

EDIT: I tested the battery with battery monitor widget 1.7.4 pro, it doesn.t show up the correct standby drainage, but it shows the correct values with screen on - with stock when using the screen apps-games i got around 500-600 ma, RCMIX - 600+ when OC-ed , UNITY - 200-300 ! rarely went up to 400 !

i say UNITY 6 beta 2 overall is the best custom kernel so far
[HTC Sensation] Crusher16:
Been running V6 beta2 all day and just now had my only one bad wake so far.

@mdj......Unfortunately I had just, the first blackscreen :(

[HTC Sensation] drunkboi:
Can anyone tell me the average free ram available with this rom?
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
Free RAM on Android is completely misleading and should be disregarded. I say that regardless of ROM. In fact, the more RAM you have free means more is being wasted. We've actually tuned this ROM to wait longer before killing off processes, to reduce or avoid the possibility of background services being killed and/or having situations where an app is killed and needs to be re-launched (waste of CPU/battery).

Android is not the same as your desktop OS, it shouldn't be measured as such. Base your assessment of a ROM's responsiveness per your own usage, not on some meaningless metrics.
[HTC Sensation] ohliu:
Can't seem to "hot-restart" the phone from the power menu. Can anyone confirm this? I did a full wipe before flashing the rom. Thanks so much! =)
[HTC Sensation] stardust240781:
Confirmed. Has never worked for me.
[HTC Sensation] ericchik:
Does it support 2-way call record? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Sequester:
I had screens of death on a regular basis - since 24 hours I am running now the latest version of the ROM with stock kernel, no problems so far.

As soon as it is confirmed that the custom kernel is stable I will change due to its better performance, but for the moment I need a stable version.

Many thanks for the efforts!
[HTC Sensation] lamecake:
Using 1.0.3 + v6 bèta kernel for more than a day now. No problems whatsoever.
[HTC Sensation] flash_235:
I can only confirm the same. now again switched to the stock kernel. Your Rome is really great and it runs very very smooth.

I hope that soon a good V6 kernels, which eliminates the BS.

thx

Same here. Bad wake with 1.0.3 and v6beta. First one since I flashed.

hi guys,

how can i "3D Home Screens support " turn off?
[HTC Sensation] bigxie:
I've had wake issues with V4 and above kernels (beta and release). I've always just fallen back to a V3 UV test kernel.

Been running this one with 1.0.3 for a couple of days now with no issues at 1188/192 on demand.
[HTC Sensation] ohliu:
Settings -> Display -> 3D home screen

I wonder how many people actually use that. =)
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Just flash back to stock kernel for now. Your phone will be the same speed but never will you get that nasty black screen of death. The only downside on the official stock is that battery last about 30% less in my testing that I have done.
[HTC Sensation] drunkboi:
I was wondering if you could answer a question for me?

I see that you're using the ADWLauncher EX & that's what I use also. I haven't started the process of S-OFF & Rooting but I'm planning on it.

I'm already using ADW & don't use the Sense 3.0 & have tweeked what I can with a non rooted device. My question is, seeing as you're not using the Sense 3.0 as well with this custom rom, in your opinion do you think your device is faster & is the battery life better after flashing.

I hope I've made sense, I just want to make sure it's worth S-OFF'ing & Rooting my device when I plan on not using the Sense 3.0, etc.

I notice there are some custom roms with "no sense" but this seems to be the most stable rom per the comments.

THANKS!
[HTC Sensation] ce_rob:
1.0.3 + v6 beta2 for a little over a day now. one BSOD which isn't terrible, but i've noticed i'm still having that same wifi issue. if i leave wifi on all the time, once my phone autoconnects to a network it remembers the credentials on, it has a hard time disconnecting/turning off wifi once leaving the area...rendering mobile network useless. any ideas?

**btw**

where can i download the stock tmo us kernel? i'm leaving the country tomorrow and will have my phone with me, it'd be nice to not have to constantly deal with BSOD or pulling the battery for the next 1.5 weeks.

or if i just flash 1.0.3 again will it revert back to the OG kernel..?
[HTC Sensation] mrpanic7:
Forgive me if I can't find it but is there a daemon controller app like android revolution? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
The rom is faster than stock HTC because this is a bit edited by MDJ. But in general there is still sense stuff on here. I bought the 1900mah anker battery and it's given me a bit more juice :) (don't forget to do the battery.bin thing when you flash a new rom)

You will see now that there are AOSP roms coming out like cyanogenmod and aospCMod found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1209060

Those will boost the speed ALLOT. Testing aospCMod now and it's extremely fast :cool: It's just not stable enough for me to use it every day so I will do a nandroid restore to get back on this rom :D
[HTC Sensation] ohliu:
Yes reflashing the ROM will revert the kernal back.
[HTC Sensation] drunkboi:
Thanks so much for the reply, I will hit the thanks button. If you don't mind I have two more questions, sorry I'm a NOOB!

I know from what I've been told free ram isn't everything but I'm curious how much you have on average with this rom. I currently average over 200-220MB of free ram.

Also, using this rom with the stock kernal have you experienced any bugs? I notice you said your weren't getting any "black screens of death" lol.

I really appreciate you helping answer these basic questions, I think I'm just really nervous about S-OFF'ing & Rooting my device & making sure it's worth it.

I rooted my Samsung Vibrant & I couldn't imagine using the phone without doing so.
[HTC Sensation] big nu:
what am i missing?

So I realized the virtuous ROM app to adjust the kernel is not on this Rom like it is on others.... Is it the this Rom does all the tweaking automatically? Or do I have to dl it separately?

Anyone care to enlighten me...:o
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
+1 I'm having the same issue wifi on ARHD + v6 Beta 2.
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding your question, but I believe the second post in the thread covers what you're asking about:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14240746&postcount=2

In short, the OC functions of the kernel have a built-in daemon that regulates it. Settings can be tweaked as discussed in the post linked above. However, you are also able to control it with a CPU tuner app-- apparently SetCPU is not recommended. If you search in this thread there's a link to an officially-sanctioned app ("Virtuous Controller" or something like that).

Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] ohliu:
Just wanna add that the current kernel that's included with the ROM does not support oc. It is stock as the dev is still working on the next release.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
I got about the same free ram as you do now. But you should not look much into that any more. This phone has great cpu and gpu that it does not mater if you have 10 or 300mb left. If you just flash Virtuous 1.0.3 and don't flash the experimental kernel the rom is rock steady. You can S-OFF and S-ON the phone without much trouble. Rooting is totally worth it man. If it was only for adfree (app on the market that removes all the ads from all the apps) I would do it haha. But you can also make backups from all your apps and other cool stuff with root.

But things are only to get better and better. We only got root for like 2 weeks :)

When cyanogenmod releases for the sensation it will be insane fast etc :cool:

any one try to flash leedroid 1.4 kernel on top of 1.0.3 ?
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
*smacks forehead* Thanks for catching that. I'm even running the stock kernel right now because of instability, heh. Forgot that the custom kernel isn't bundled for the time being
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Leedroid kernel is suffering the same issues as the Virtuous one at the moment. Could try it but I doubt it will be much better if you're having issues with Virtuous.

Sent from my Leedroid Sensational Htc Sensation!
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
I wouldn't expect anything to significantly improve on the kernel front until we get a proper source dump from HTC. The one provided was incomplete and the holes had to be patched by several folks in the community, which isn't going to be perfect and/or match the stock kernel.

Anyhow, hopefully we'll have something better to work with soon. For the time being, I highly recommend staying on the stock kernel. The performance benefits of overclocking are negligible when you consider that our Sensations are more than sufficiently powered right out of the box. The stability trade offs are simply not worth it, which is why Virtuous "ships" with stock. It's the best choice.
[HTC Sensation] ikhtiaralam:
The UNITY V6 Beta 2 Kernel is working amazingly for me. I've noticed that it is slightly undervolted so the battery life is great and it runs smoothly, no matter which ROM I use. Thank you!

Well it ain't working perfectly for me. Pretty much the same problems as with leedroid. Right now it is refusing to charge even though its plugged in.

Leedroid did this two days ago.

Thanks for explaining the situation rmk, I value stability above all else in my phone - I need it to work. I will stay at stock for now.

Black Screen with Lighted Soft Keys Buttons

For me, I have narrowed this issue down to the max sleep_max_freq. I am also running Unity V5 kernel. I tried to have sleep_max_freq at 384000, but would black screen with lighted buttons. Currently have it at the default 756000.

For wake_max_freq, I can only go up to 1782000. Anything higher would cause boot loops.
