I suppose I was confused about the use of inactive max, 2 phase, active max frequencies. I thought that if the GPU wasn't under a large load that the frequency would not reach active max and would be capped at inactive max. However, I am seeing it jump to my active max when it is sitting idle on the home screen, or with system tuner up watching the frequency changes in real time. I would ask in the Q&A thread but I never get answers there so I figured I'd check here :p
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Actually, I didn't abandon the vivid. Sensation had its GPU drivers completely updated in the most recent base, without having a vivid, I don't know if the common source code is compatible with vivid. Do you guys have similar updates to your device or not?
[HTC Sensation] brwnohno:
I don't believe so, but could be mistaken. If you would like a tester to try a test kernel out I would be glad to help and provide feedback. I just went off call on my job and looking forward to tinkering with my phone this weekend anyway. Just let me know. I'm running the latest WCX Rom with your v7 kernel. Thanks for not forgetting about the vivid, your kernel is a beast! Also, I'm S-On on my phone.

hi yank and faux,amazing job on the kernel and aroma customizations,loving it :)

now,i'm having problems undervolting via aroma or by editing init.d script 99z_kernel...no matter to what value i set voltages,they always remain the same...so yank can you please look into it when you have some time :)

i tried editing 99z_kernel and changing "-50000" into "-75000" and "-100000",after that i rebooted the phone and checked vdd_levels and every single value stayed the same...

btw i'm 100% sure that voltages aren't changing cause i'm checking /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels and it's always saying:

it's already undervolted

faux kernel only supports the limit of 800mV, unlike Bricked & sebastian (700mV)

so if you undervolt -100000000000mV => it's still 800mV :)
[HTC Sensation] Snake_skw:
thx for the answer...but why are there a lot more options in aroma,like -150mV,when they are obsolete?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
They are not obsolete, the voltages of higher freq. will get undervolted more, but each will never drop below of 800mV.

009b4 v2 is the same as 009u, and yank 2.52 is also the same with just GPU OC to 300MHz instead of 320MHz.

So if you want the latest faux kernel, use 009b4 v2 or yank 2.52 depending on the GPU OC you want to use.

Use 009b4 v2 (= same as 009u) or yank 2.52 if you prefer only 300MHz GPU OC.

If you run stock GPU clock (266MHz), there's no difference.

For what is that RAM mod in Aroma? There are much stations like very light, light, Medium, aggressive, very aggressive. What ad-and disadvantages will give me this?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
These allow you to set the Android low memory killer limits. In general I would recommend leaving Android stock values, but depending on your config / use, choosing a different setting can be worthwhile.

These limits dictate how much memory Android will try to keep free at any given time, the more, the potentially snappier the task at hand but the worse multitasking gets, so it's about finding a balance.

No, as discussed earlier, 800mV is lower limit for all frqs. in faux.

But as a general thing, UV is 'the last thing' you can do to get to save that very little last drop of battery juice, there's really nothing big to be saved by UV, if you've done everything else, adding UV is more to be totally complete than anything else.

... at the risk of sacrificing stability !

I have been using this kernel for awhile now and it always gives me great performance especially with 3d games. I just noticed an issue though and it is when I make a video call with the Tango app. Video calls work fine with gtalk and qik but there is a weird video bug on Tango with this kernel. I thought it was just the app at first but then I tried Sebs and Bricked kernels and it works fine on those.

It's weird that it is only the video calling on the Tango app. Once the video messes up then I close Tango and the whole screen stays messed up like chopped in half until i reboot the phone. Tested this on both Faux - 008b8 and the newer 009b4 kernels. Anyone else experience any issues with Tango video calling?

thank you for your input. really appreciate it.

what is your input for battery life governor?
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
A couple of nights ago I powered my phone off overnight (long press of the power button then selected Power Off). My battery (Anker) was at 42%. ( I don't know why I powered it off, I usually just leave it on all the time..)

But the following morning I couldn't turn it on again. I had to connect to the wall charger, and the orange LED started flashing. Still couldn't turn it on, for about 5 minutes, until the orange LED went solid.

When I did turn it back on, battery was at 35%.

So not sure what happened there, could it possibly be related to any undervolting settings, etc?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
It can't be related to UV. Once the device is powered off, there's nothing going on any more, so why the battery would have been drained totally empty (which is why you only could turn on the device once there was a minimal charge in the battery), I just cannot imagine...

Anyway, since this happened while the device was powered off, I'd rather put it on the hardware side, since there was no software running, thus none involved.

Maybe Anker just not reporting power status as a stock htc battery ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] jheysl2:
Whats the best settings for balanced performance and battery life ?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
That is not an easy call, all depends on what you are ready to give to get better battery...

1) Use lower CPU clocks (go as low as you are willing to slow down your device)

2) Use lower screen backlight

3) Undervolt (as far as your system stays stable, depends on each device)

You have my settings in my signature, I was looking for snappiness when wake, and battery saving when in standby.

[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Let the hole thing settle for some charging cycles, perhaps you should try to use a lower max cpu and undervolt the kernel to get better results.

If youre using the aroma installer version, you don't need SetCPU or any other programm to control the kernel.
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
in selecting memory task killer is it OK to choose very aggressive?does it effect my battery life?
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
I won't suggest you to use this setting except youre facing lot of situation with low memory. It will kill your apps much sooner, multitasking is not realy possible with this setting. Apps which are in the ram don't use more power (expect they are background processess/services).

Also, on viperS, its possible that the minfree setting will get overwritten by the venom tweaks, not really tested yet :)

Strange... I'd try a different kernel, just to rule out that the kernel is the issue (if you haven't done that already).

Also, I've read some have issues with battery not being correctly seated and adding a piece of business card to tightly fix the battery helps, dunno if that's an issue.

Other than that, I don't see what could generate reboots.

[HTC Sensation] acesabe:
Likewise, I rarely remove the card either, no idea why the mechanism has suddenly failed like that...but that along with the case contact failing at the same time, looks to me like the result of using cheap parts that last long enough to out live the warranty - just! I just hope this isn't something that is going to start happening to other peoples Sensations soon too as it would be a shame if the phones physical weaknesses ended up being the cause of early retirement, as the electronic side seems reasonably good.

I am certainly wondering now whether poor electrical contacts in the handset between battery and phone, and maybe also between SD card/case and phone could be causing the reboots/power-offs some of us have been seeing. What else could be causing such drastic sudden power drops like the one in the attached photo (old, lost the one from last week) I experienced the other day, other than dodgy battery connector contact?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I'd go physical on this, too, bad contact can cause strangest behaviour. As I said earlier, there is a thread somewhere about the Sensation where a guy explains how he "cured" such reboots by adding a bit of business card between the casing and the battery to push the battery firmly against the contacts.

Might be worth a search, looked quite easy to do...

First of all, i want to thanx the devs for their amazing kernel.... :good:

Now the issue is,

Recently i flashed the Yank555-lu.V2.52 Kernel on my Viper 1.2.1 Rom....

min freq= 192MHz , max=1.51GHz , UV=100mV ..and rest all the options kept as default (either faux or yank555 default)

I found no any issue with the performance, but my battery drains 2% in every five minutes(when the screen is on)...

And the draining of battery is somewhat strange...its drain like 64-62-60-58....-34-32 (it never shows me an odd digit, 2% at one instance)

I'm using HTC Stock Battey...

Previously the same issue was present in case of faux kernel...

Please Help.....!!!! :(
