Android Revolution HD 3.0.2 --- release date: 26 August 2011 ---

* This is patch only, flash it over 3.0.1 ROM if you want dual-core running all the time while screen is ON

* First Sensation ROM with enabled full dual-core support with the following settings:

* Screen ON: a) When screen is ON, both cpu0 and cpu1 are running all the time b) Both cpu0 and cpu1 are running from 192 MHz to 1.2 GHz when screen is ON c) Both cpu0 and cpu1 are using ondemand governor when screen is ON

* Screen OFF: a) When screen is OFF, only cpu0 is running, cpu1 is disabled b) cpu0 is running from 192 MHz to 384 MHz (excellent battery saver) c) cpu0 is using conservative governor (excellent battery saver)

* Disabled built it screenshot capture feature

* - To enable it look at FAQ question 25 or install ShotMe from the Market

* Adobe Flash Player updated to latest 10.3.186.6

Looking forward to this!

One question, how come the built in screenshot has been disabled? Does it effect performance or anything? I thought that was a really good thing to have. Althou I know its enablable (is that a word? lol) just thought it would be enabled as standard
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
I think it.s due the nonworking-all-the-time-of-the-power-button ( this one surely is not a word :) ) you can thank HTC for their quietly unfinished software
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
@mike, so what i am getting from the changelog is that basically the whole asynchronus dual-core -bull**** is removed? If it.s correct, this is one big step...
[HTC Sensation] woundtrauma:
There is no custom kernel, which make phone smoother than with stock kernel. At least long-term usage show custom kernel problems.

CPU clocks would be higher, but It's not affect to overall stability or smoothness, as much as peoples think.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Well that makes sense. The power button is slightly temperamental.

Im someone who swears by Superwiping before installing every new ROM. Will 3.0.2 be an update or will it be packed into a whole new ROM (350MB) ?
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
Just a patch, so more of an update.
[HTC Sensation] woundtrauma:
Simply just flash Arhd.zip again. No need to wipe or doing anything else. It will keep all your settings and apps. :)
[HTC Sensation] umd:
So, how does the sync dual core effect the battery life? Any idea?

[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I also added fix for Sensation 4G users:

Fix for Sensation 4G users when specific T-Mobile files (WiFi Calling, fixed default.xml and proper build.prop) where not being flashed
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
i can't wait for it !! when will released ??
[HTC Sensation] avon76:
soon:p

Thanks Mike:D
[HTC Sensation] umd:
I actually couldn't get a clue from that post. Because the phone uses both cores all the time when screen is on we will get shorter battery life but when screen is off, the phone uses only one core so we will get longer battery life. Looks like we will get shorter battery life overall.
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
Actually i think that what drains the battery is the freqv. of the cpu. It drains the same at 1.2 ghz full speed, but using both cores to get there means better speeds.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
That's why it's just a patch. If you don't like batter life with 3.0.2 you can go back to 3.0.1 :) If 3.0.2 feedback about speed and battery life will be positive then I'll include this patch in 3.0.3 full ROM.
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Now it's clear :)

Are you saying that if we do this tweak or not cpu1 consumes same power all the time? If so, HTC would have done this. I think they didn't do this because of battery concerns.
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
having both cores always ON makes the task faster = faster switching to idle... still saves batt life...

3.0.2 will make Sensation in the of S2 performance wise
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
I have 37minutes left on this train, I hope it's released within that period.

Dont think I can wait until tonight :-( haha
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
Thanks Mike, I will test it when it's released and give you some feedback :D
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Updating first post now ;)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Legend. 'effing legend!!!!
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Android Revolution HD 3.0.2 Patch in the first post

Have a nice flashing :D​
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Installling now.

I have a full 100% charge, ill report back this evening at 10pm, so that'll be a full 12 hour of use.
[HTC Sensation] avon76:
you fast today with uploading :D

report soon;)
[HTC Sensation] reddragon022:
same here 100% charge... :p. installing too
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Patch is only 9 MB size :D
[HTC Sensation] avon76:
just like to ask you

preferent kernel for that pach?

:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] D4rk0:
You are my hero! ^_^
[HTC Sensation] iftikar666:
3.0.2

New patch installed (joys of business internet connection)

Let's see what we get - loving it so far
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Stock one, only stock one ;)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Here I go. 3.0.2. patch going in right now.

Will report back in about 12 hours.

Maybe it's time to change my Sig??

:rolleyes:

P.
[HTC Sensation] avon76:
wow

307MB free memory:D

crazy day
[HTC Sensation] reddragon022:
what's a good way to test dual core? I guess I mean, something I can test all day to see how everything responds to the phone now?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Test it in normal day usage mate ;)
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
First Thing I notice after flashing: My Signal is totally gone. Even on the outside I have only 1 bar, in the room, no signal at all. After 3 reboots and 2 switches to airplane and back, no difference. Where is the connection?
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
Installing...... Thanks Bro...
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
This could be because of ril files for Sensation 4G... you have sensation 4G, right?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
No, Germany, so 3G
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Mike good to hear on your script supporting dc! Do you reckon this will help games to run smoother or is this all.dependent on crap drivers installed in the 2.3.4 ota?

Still can't believe how crap HTC did on this update...UI is so much smoother but everything else lags to death...makes no sense
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
i got 867 in quadrant !?!?!
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Then it shouldn't affect you at all, probably coincident.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
and ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
[HTC Sensation] avon76:
like all the time everybody told around, quadrant is fake:p

here is 1116:D

so what?

my phone is flight

Mike ,please make NEW ROM;)
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
What effect will the dual core running all the time have on battery life Mike?
[HTC Sensation] Defectus:
Hey mike. Running 3.0.1 for a while. Works great. Über smooth =)

Though I still have the weirdo battery issue. Phone turning itself of randomly. Percentage changes after reboot. Since this happened on the 3 previous

Roms I'm beginning to suspect faulty hardware. Have anyone who has rev-s-off tried sending the phone in on warranty? If so, did it work?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
If anything, my phone feels laggier...or is it just me? Certainly no increase in performance. Not worth the extra battery usage, unless I'm missing something :confused:

Should have taken a backup so I could switch back to compare...doh!
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
I feel it lagging too, while scrolling Sense screens especially, at least compared to 3.0.1
[HTC Sensation] reddragon022:
not sure about the lag but no notice in performance so far. battery has dropped 11%
[HTC Sensation] mariusares:
Hi. Any way to add a power menu like leedroid one. And battery procent its nice too. Another thing its a unlock ring for nosense version.Ty
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Yep, thats what I noticed. Sense scrolling and sliding is laggier.

You can use the mods for 2.x in post #2 :)
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
dual core

not the expert here, but although dual cores are enabled all the time when screen is on, are the dual cores being utilized ??

overall, this dual core thing has been a major disappointment for me as Android is still not designed to effectively use both cores so that the user would notice a jump in performance from single core devices.

My previous phone was a Desire HD, with a single core, and it was really much faster and snappier on its latest official update than my dual core sensation.

not trying to bash anyone or anything, but this is my humble observation, i believe android is yet to mature to be able to truly benefit from dual cores.

This dual core thing was more of a marketing feature than a performance boosting feature.
[HTC Sensation] iftikar666:
Weird - My phone does seem nippier :)

Battery isn't too different from 3.01 usage but it's been less than an hour ;)
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
You can't use the unlock ring with the NoSense scrip sadly. Yes, download the battery % mod from page 1 on this thread and boot into recovery and instal the ZIP file :)
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
benchmarks

Peacekeeper (using stock broswer) : 779

CF-Bench: 5098

Linpack: Single Thread: 34.414 - Multi-Thread: 65.248

AnTuTu: 4342

Neocore: 59.6 FPS

battery draining to fast !!
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Percentage changes after reboot here also. But after some minutes it's back to normal. Also since the beginning of me using this phone. I don't care cause overall the reading seems legit.
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
Mike doesn't care for benchmarks ;)
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
After about 15 minutes, it's getting back to normal... Maybe really coincidence.

But all in all I also have the feeling that the phone reacts with more lags, especially at screen swipes. At least not "feelable" faster. Can't make a judgement about battery-drain in the short time.

There is so much "gut-feeling" in all of those observations, it's really hard to make an objective statement. The lack of reliable benchmarks doesn't make things easier, lol.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
I don't either, I hate them. But it seems the latest patch has dropped them across the board. Maybe it needs more tweaking by Mike and the other devs :)

Just no point using more battery for no real gain, that's all.
[HTC Sensation] jahmezis45:
New Update broke my Wifi Calling No bueno...
[HTC Sensation] belblade:
don't notice much difference between the two (not in benchmark scores and not in performance) battery does seem to drain a bit quicker ...

so to go back i'll have to do a nandroid restore or will you release an "un-patch" for those who want to go back ?
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
Going back to 3.0.1, it felt alot snappier, sorry mike, i know you try hard to make the best of it but 3.0.2 just feels laggier
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I (actually me and madmaxx82) just did a dirty work around to make cpu1 work all the time when screen is ON, the decision if to include it in the main ROM or not is your guys! :)
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Based on initial impressions, its causing sense to be "laggier" for some reason. Appreciate you effort to get the Sensation running how it should have been done by HTC though :)

Going back to 3.0.1 as I didn't do a backup first :p
[HTC Sensation] iftikar666:
If I decided I wanted to go back to 3.0.1 what is the way to do it?

I didn't do a backup btw :)

I've had no problems with this patch so far
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
In my opinion it should be enough to just reflash 3.0.1
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
I think just reinstall the 3.0.1 ZIP?
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
i feel some laggy on homescreen & app drawer
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Patch is in. I'm not getting any of the lag people are reporting. Seems snappier, but that may be placebo effect. Applications seem to open faster, operations are good. We'll see.

I'm back on the charger now, I'm assuming a battery cal is in order?

Anyway, will report back in 12 hours or so (less if problems or battery life if awful). I'm assuming this will be like any new ROM and battery life will be worse for at least a couple of cycles.

P.
[HTC Sensation] jahmezis45:
+1 is there a fix?
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
I bet your workaround would work a lot better with 2.3.3. The kernel changes made to 2.3.4 were pretty significant and until source is released it will be difficult to come up with a more elegant solution. I've been using a test kernel with dual core functionality on a 2.3.3 Rom and it flies. Unfortunately it doesn't boot with any 2.3.4 Roms
[HTC Sensation] tze_vitamin:
i have the same problem,and i have flashed new radio..
[HTC Sensation] iJohnny:
Installed 3.0.2 patch and everything is working ok. Apps start little faster and switching is faster also. Sense seams smooth but every now and then there is some lag when going from one screen to another, same is with GO Launcher EX. Not a big deal, maybe it will disappear after restart.

I will report battery life later, and my record with 3.0.0. is over 50 hours. :D
[HTC Sensation] gangstar:
after installing 3.0.2 apps like quadrant no longer detect cpu freq?!

why is that?
[HTC Sensation] victor.buciuc:
Hi Guys,

Can anybody tell me how do you check if the new cpufreq tweaks actually work?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Gone back to 3.0.1 and it is definitely much smoother and more responsive. Well, for me anyway :)
[HTC Sensation] :
Can my phone be even warmer than now? It is indeed so already warm and then with 2 CPU's ...
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Ok, it’s been 1 hour n 30mins & I’ve used my phone for sending 3 texts & reading XDA for about 20mins.

I’m down to 88%.

A question that’s really bugging me...

I bought this HTC Sensation to have a Dual core processer phone. I’m running it at a standard 1.2Ghz now vamped to both cores working whilst screen is on.

Why can’t the battery handle it? If HTC are going to design a phone and place a dual core processer in it SURELY the battery should be able to survive more than this.

I don’t see the battery lasting the 12 hours I originally said. It hasn’t even got to lunch time yet where I use my phone the most. Should be interesting.

It’s really frustrating that Mike has to manually enable both CPU’s to work, this is something that should be standard as I paid for DUAL CORE phone. Not a single core!

I feel robbed if I’m quite frank about it.
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
I dont know whats with you guys or i am just the only LUCKY here...

First thing ive done is flash the superwipe script ive got from Coredroid...

Flash the 3.0.1 (no reboot yet) and then the 3.0.2, and then reboot...

Supersmooth and fast so far compared to previous version...

and guys, please dont install setCPU or any cpu tweaking tools... the included Kernel is one thats been tweaked by the 3.0.2 patch... Please dont install other Kernel...

So far, so good... Thanks a lot MIKE
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
Hi,

am I the only one missing the printing-app? Is there any way to get my Sensation work with my wireless printer? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
Hi,mike,first of all,thanks for letting dual core run! Great job!

And i have a question..

What's the purpose of disabling built it screenshot capture feature?is it good for battery?thanks!
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
is there mod or something like that to get effect if i rotate my sensation ??
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
and guys, Please dont complain about battery life... you cat expect optimal battery life when you just flashed new ROM... have it charge 100%, calibrate it... then wait for at least 3 charging cycle before assessing the battery life...
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
I've tried 3.0.2, going back to 3.0.1 too.

For Quadrant, I don't look at the score, but I look at the 3D scenes rendering. When these scenes run under 40 frames per second, I know I'm losing 3D performances for games or Sygic navigator.

I mean that YES, I have already seen huge bench scores but a slow UI, but I've never seen bad bench scores but fast and smooth 3D rendering. Benchmark haters should at least agree with it.

Am I the only one here who decided to buy a dual-core device for its 3D and gaming possibilities? Actually, for a professional use, my HD2 is enough.....

And so with 3.0.2, bench scores were low + impossible to play Zelda OOT: laggy as hell (but I know, bench scores mean nothing, just having fast animations with Sense seems to matter :-( )

Could it be possible to force the "non overclocked" core to always run, while the other one is overclocked? Something like core 1 at 1.18ghz + core 2 at 1.5 ghz?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Remind me latet and i will send it to you. Or whiskey find it on the server.
[HTC Sensation] ltcaugust13:
Flashed 3.0.2 patch

Smooth...

Initially a bit laggy like all ROM flash...

After a while plus reboot...

Just Smooth...

No complains...

Battery life still too early to tell...
[HTC Sensation] gauravdhure994:
i m unable to download....give me download links...plz
[HTC Sensation] Sliceburg:
This new update is Blazing! Thanks Duke!
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
Another huge improvement is Browser speed... its flying...
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
If you're on Windows install Hash Tab. And copy the MD5 sum from next to the download link. Right click on the file, go to properties, and there will be a new tab called File Hashes. That will allow you to compare.
[HTC Sensation] ravigodhwani:
can't wait for 1.1.3, i didn't see that the no-sense original htc launcher bug with incoming calls/hitting menu button to bypass got addressed.

either way, thinking about not doing the no-sense script this time and just removing the pieces of sense i don't want with titanium. or is that not recommended?
[HTC Sensation] mjm128:
That's a pretty nifty implementation. So my md5sum is wrong. So just keep downloading it until it matches?
[HTC Sensation] B!GBOY:
I usually use Internet download manager for downloading and i had never downloaded a file with incorrect md5 ;) try a download manager you can use orbit (its free):D
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Well, what are you using to download the file? That's probably causing a problem somewhere. Or maybe your internet is packing before it all completes?

I just use my browser (Chrome) and it works perfectly, no issues 99.99% of the time.

Why would you use a download manager anyway?
[HTC Sensation] iJohnny:
I would wait for 1.1.3 and then download. :D

Oh.... I am waiting...
[HTC Sensation] mjm128:
Well the first time I just sent the link to my phone with chrome to phone. I'm wondering if it could be an sdcard error because I was having problems with my other sd card where I would sync music from google music beta and files would not play, along with I took like 50 pictures that had errors and the pics were just 0'd out files. I'm hoping this sd card is good.
[HTC Sensation] iJohnny:
I only use Chromium and no problems for me.

No download manager from Windows days. :D
[HTC Sensation] stonew5082:
some download managers can actually speed up the download, and also check the md5 in one swift motion. I use 'download them all' firefox add-on.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Oh well. My download speeds are usually pretty good anyway. And I can check my MD5 sum myself ;)
[HTC Sensation] charronegro1971:
no 4g

I downloaded the rom w/o any problems and it ran pretty good but i'm not getting 4G on my phone. periodically i could get an "H" but mostly i was stuck on 3G and i live in a 4G area. Anyone else have this problem?
[HTC Sensation] mikeDCMDVA:
TMO US people:

Lag?
[HTC Sensation] mjm128:
Download the file to my computer - md5sum is correct.

Copied it to my sdcard - md5sum is wrong.

Now what....
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Obviously it's getting corrupted when you copy it. Try formatting the SD card. Use a different USB port.
[HTC Sensation] mjm128:
K well I formatted it and changed the USB port, and it's getting the correct md5sum but it's still giving the can't open (bad) installation aborted error. =\
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Sounds like a dodgy SD card maybe? I really don't know anymore sorry :(
[HTC Sensation] eggyenergy:
maybe it's an broken download? maybe a fresh download will help this out?
[HTC Sensation] mjm128:
I rebooted into recovery again and now it is going about installing it (i think) it's at writing data and system right now.

I have this other sdcard that I bought that I think is messed up, but it doesn't show any bad sectors or anything when checking it. I'm not sure about it, but since replacing it, I haven't had pictures end up corrupted or songs end up not playing with music beta. Not sure what to do about the other sdcard.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Try this - Panasonic SD Card Formatter, it's saved a few of my cards that other formatting tools couldn't
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:

Will the New camera with panorama & bitrate select (for 720p & 1080p) 10,12,14,16,18,20mbps mp4 file video format come to this rom? :D
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Wonder why some people are seeing an improvement and others (myself included) saw a performance decrease...
[HTC Sensation] adclem:
Just flashed 3.0.2 and it did not recognize my phone as a Sensation 4G phone. When I flashed 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 it did recognize that it was a Sensation 4G.

Everything is running smooth and the phone does seem a little faster and I have not noticed any lag at the moment.

Will report back after a day of use.
[HTC Sensation] m0rgul:
Last night I tried to use Sleep as an Droid application (market link). Quickly after starting the "sleep session" phone rebooted itself; when my phone was on latest stock rom, this application used to run fine.
[HTC Sensation] eisteh:
Actually, if I wanted something good for gaming i'd by a portable console. CPU doesn't help that much in gfx performance when the GPU sucks.
[HTC Sensation] kfjunky:
On 3.02 for the past 3 hours.

Flashed the instance it was released.

No lag what so ever, unlike some guys.

App opening feels quicker.

Battery to early to tell.

Will report if I find any difference tomorrow.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Also back to 3.0.1.

The lags in the "normal" phone UI are too big. I don't care for top speed, cause I don't do hardcore-gaming. I want a smooth UI and that just wasn't there with that patch. :(
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
WiFi calling is no longer working, but that's fixable. Will keep using phone as I normally do.

So far (2 hours) noticeably faster. No lags at all. Regular browser flies.

Good download and upload speeds.

Benchmark (CF) decent, not getting real low scores like others. Not a real test, but I just wanted to see if mine got real bad as well.

I did to a battery cal at 100%, so I expect the first day to be below what I can expect after a couple of cycles. Still hoping it isn't awful.

P.

NOTE: Visual Voicemail says box is empty, but it isn't. Maybe the patch didn't recognize the TmoUS phone?
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
Here is some 3.0.2 feedback for you

Polling /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online during awake returns 0 most of the time (95%+)

On the odd occasion it will return 1

I thought the idea was for cpu1 to be always online whilst awake?

Secondly /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq doesn't exist

So this obviously also means /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor and /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq don't exist either
[HTC Sensation] yusmiza:
battery drain bit faster when i patch to 3.0.2 maybe because dual core alwayss running even when u just using text msg.juz using for 15 minit and drained more than 8%
[HTC Sensation] quailallstar:
Same here with the WiFi calling not working :( using the patch.
[HTC Sensation] avon76:
well,battery is fulled slow on 100%(4200)

more report soon:p
[HTC Sensation] khakiman:
Well i'm gonna upgrade...full Dual core sounds sexy to me
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
Jet cet printing zipp?
