I just installed "pyramid-ics-xe-008b7-gf-aroma" over pyramid-ics-xe-008b7-aroma" even i haven't problem with governor and i got extra 190 point in Antutu bench,6378<6568. :)

I installed it with same settings. 192-1.51,3D overclock 320Mhz.

It seems 008b8 dedicated for sense 4 ROM. Since im a bit old fashioned and running good old sense 3.6 i think i'll stay at 008b7 for a while :D

Its running smooth and battery life is awesome too. And if you think faux kernel is slow, u're wrong dude. Check this out :cool:

[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Life caught up with me, so I've been away from XDA for a while. Besides ARHD 1.2.0 with Faux 008b4 was running fine.

A few days ago I upgraded my firmware intending to load ARHD 6.7. I did load it, but there were some things to sort, and I'm not really in the mood right now, so I went back to 1.2.0.

Since the firmware was in, and 1.2.0 was running nicely on it, I decided to try 008b7.

My goodness, it is nice. The aroma installer is great, allowing me to tweak the kernel quickly instead of having to run scripts or a controller.

The kernel itself is noticeably faster, smoother and feels snappy. Data transfer (especially on WiFi) are the fastest I've ever gotten (including on Gingerbread).

Great work!!

And welcome Yank555, your contributions to Faux's work are greatly appreciated.

[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
Faux thanks you so much for the wifi on ViperSs. I'll can use it as daily ROM now, that's the only thing that was missing on this ROM

I am mixing a ROM based on 3.32 with firmware and kernel 3.33 no reboots but a really huge drain while using WiFi and an incredible battery life when the phone sleep. Just checked after 11h since I unplugged my phone but didn't use (7 minutes screen on and no WiFi) my phone still at 100% then 20 minutes of wifi and battery drop to 94%. Tomorrow I'll flash ViperSs with b8 and I'll give my feed few days later. But I am sure everything will be perfect as it always do with faux kernels.
[HTC Sensation] mrquidz:
Wow. I recently changed to viperS to feel how it's feel to have sense 4, your 008b8 just made my phone flies like never before.

Tried different kernels but still yours is the most suitable. Work flawlessly, scroll is smooth , snappy and no random reboot. Wifi is working and hotspot as well.

Thanks a lot faux, yank. Really glad you guys updated it for viperS.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Just gave ViperS a go, to see what all that fuss is about ;)

Tested it with my slightly modded faux 008b8 kernel, the Antutu result is attached.

The test in AnTuTu is with the following setup (even though I don't really go much by benchmarks !) :

Governor : Performance

2d GPU : 200MHz

3d GPU : 300MHz

CPU : 192MHz - 1.72GHz

Using the ROM with the following config (this is the way I like to really test ;)) :

Governor : Intellidemand

two-phase : 810MHz

Intellidemand max inactive : 810MHz

2d GPU : 200MHz

3d GPU : 300MHz

CPU : 192MHz - 1.72GHz

And all is fine and snappy ! :D

PS: But now time to restore my Nandroid and get back to my beloved sense-less AOSP loaded HNS ;)
[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
Just installed 008B8. The phone is remarkably faster than 007r2 in every scenario. I want to say at least 25% faster. Very impressive work. You guys should straight up go work for HTC or Google or something, hell maybe consult your expertise.

First time using Aroma too and that was nuts.

Really jelly of you guys.
[HTC Sensation] mclaren2:
Very fast on ordroid. Not sure what all these installer options are about so I left most to default. Still seems much faster than before. Now let's check battery life ^^
[HTC Sensation] pnut22r:
I never know with all of the different kernel configs.

Should I replace standard thermalid and mpdecision before flashing this?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
ROM should be as stock as possible, all changes by flashing this kernel will be :

- kernel in the boot image

- /system/lib/modules (kernel loadable modules)

- /system/etc/99z_kernel (all the settings you chose from during Aroma install in one file)

- /system/etc/init.post_boot.sh (modded by faux)

- /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh (modded by me, governor fix)

Anything else should be and will remain stock !

JP.
[HTC Sensation] pnut22r:
Thanks, but I know of I'm coming from previous kernels, Sebastian or showp, they have some custom mpdecision or thermalid

I see others talking about aroma. When I installed 8b8, I didn't get aroma. Am I crazy?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
You used the wrong link I suppose, use the one malybru provided just above. ( Thanx malybru ;) )

As for mpdecision and thermald, good call, I don't know what Sebastian / Bricked flashers exactly change to a running system, I've never flashed them on my current ROM (used on my previous ROM, though, but can't recall the details).

My previous post at least gives you the footprint of installing faux's 008b8 using my Aroma installer, so if you want to flash a different kernel you know what to look for / remove ;)

JP.

Edit --------------------------------------------------------------

I guess those should go for faux's kernel, this is part of the installing script for faux :

busybox mv /system/bin/mpdecision /system/bin/mpdecision_dis
busybox mv /system/bin/thermald /system/bin/thermald_dis

So it's disabling them.

[HTC Sensation] johnnyham89:
Hey guys! I'm on ARHD 6.7.0 with Faux and Yank's 008b8 with Yank's default settings except for undervolting which I have at .50. The only problem I am having is that when my phone is on standby/sleep my wifi connection always disconnects. When I awake it the connection is reestablished almost 30 seconds later. Any idea as to what can be causing this? And thanks for the great kernel!!

May the WiFi sleep policy (Settings / WiFi / Advanced) ?

I use JuiceDefender explicitely do that for me (plus cut off mobile data as well), so I wouldn't notice...

hello to all. Thx a lot @faux for your hard works!

Guys, I need an advice from you:

I actually have viperss 1.0.1 and I'am passed from bricked v.1.36 to sebastianFM v.1.50 and now I would try the faux v.008b8, and I have some questions:

1)The difference between the version with aroma and without?(only that in aroma i can selected more option?)

2)How I could flash faux kernel with an clear installation? I need to flash reset kernel(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25226732&postcount=10371)

and the init.qcom.post_boot(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29059259&postcount=2724 )

Can anyone help me?

thx in advance,
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Aroma / non Aroma = same kernel, plus the options in Aroma.

The Aroma installer will reset init.post_boot.sh and init.qcom.post_boot.sh. If you have any scripts in /system/etc/init.d, you'd need to do a cleanup, and that's it.

When i came from bricked to sebastian kernel I only flash init.qcom.post_boot(http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=2724 )

and set min freq from 384 to 192(in init.qcom.post_boot with text editor).

So now I only flash faux kernel with aroma and I have cleanest flash?

PS:what do you mean by "you'd need to do a cleanup, and that's it."

sorry but I have little knowledge of English
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well if previous flashing have left other scripts in /system/etc/init.d, you would need to remove them to avoid unlogic behaviour like choosing "no zram" in the installer and ending up with zram because there was some old zram activation script in there...

If you want, I can help you check that.

[HTC Sensation] Philips9:
thx a lot!

Tomorrow I say to you what file I have before flash faux kernel, then you say me what I do.

A question: if I flash reset kerne(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25226732&postcount=10371)befor flash faux kernel, this reset don't remove unnecessary scripts in /system/etc/init.d??
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I'd rather not flash this, it's a little outdated (uses 3.32 based files...). We'll do it manually, that will be safer.

There maybe scripts by the bricked kernel (89Badass), SHEL-D undervolt (21uv) or scripts by systemtuner; these can be safely removed :)

Use root explorer, ES explorer or solid explorer to remove them. Happy days...ps, if you're not sure nandroid backup first

Can I install Pyramid-ICS-XE-008b8.zip on ARHD 6.7.0 even if it's not marked for sense "series"?

Yes, XE stands for 3.33 XE base.

But I'd recommend using the Aroma installer version, gives you loads of choices to customize.

[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
If I change my mind and decide to reconfigure the kernel....lets say it had -75mV uV and I reapply the config, will it further reduce the VDD voltages or just set them to -75mV below default...... I have boot loop now and its only since the config was re-applied without the kernel. reflashing the kernel isn't working either?

I love nandroid :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Just flash the config, and choose less undervolting, or even 0 just to get it booted.

The config is always done from scratch, so choosing -50, then -25 will give you -25mV.

I thought aroma installer was compatible only with elegancia and not with ARHD roms...
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Both, in fact ARHD was fine from the very beginning, Elegancia was added shortly after that.

Plus any other ROM that does execute init.d scripts out of the ramdisk (=most ROMs) instead of having /init.post_boot.sh do it, as far as I know, only ARHD and Elegancia do work like this.

Awesome job on the aroma installer! I noticed it gives the option for 266 and 320 on gpu 3d frequency settings, are you changing yours to 300MHz manually or does 320 in the script really mean 300? Also there was not an option for 2d settings is that correct? Is it default 200MHz?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] GuerillaTech:
Hey Faux, do you still support your AOSP Kernel for Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
To use 300 I changed the source and recompiled the kernel. Having 266, 300 and 320 as options would render 3D GPU scaling useless, since 27MHz for standby uses one slot already... That would keep the GPU running high almost all the time, at cost of battery...

2D GPU cannot scale, so it would run higher all the time, without any noticable benefit at the cost of battery drain and device getting hot.

Hi,

Oh man ... just saw something incredible :confused:

In Aroma Installer CPU / governor frequencies are displayed in kHZ and MHz instead of MHz and GHz, and nobody noticed :silly:

Will change that tonight, nothing important anyways, it's just the display in Aroma, but damn, I just can't believe I did that mistake and I didn't notice this over 3 versions of the kernel :D

[HTC Sensation] HC4Life:
I'm one of them. :p
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Yank555, perhaps a stupid question, but can you explain to us what exactly the inactive max freq and the two-phase freq are? Just for my understanding :D
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
google IntelliDemand governor ;)

its the second phase frequency which sets automatically if you do less with your phone, so it recognizes when it can save some major battery.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Thanks for your reply! I already know the functionality of the great intelli gov :D My question is what's the difference between the two things :)
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
Lol this is nothing to be worry about take your time for that.

ViperSs flying with your kernel Faux and performance stay the same than always. My antutu result for fun

Governor: intellidemend

GPU 3D & 2D @ 320

UV -100

Maxfreq inactive @ 1.020 MHz

Really good results.

Been rockin' 8b8 undervolted -0.25v and all is good, had one frozen incoming call screen but that's probably due to excessively hot phone in pocket in full sun! Battery life seems pretty good too :) Great stuff kernel krunchers!

@Yank55 this is my actually file in init.d:

1)What should I delete to move from the sebastian to faux kernel?

2)I also know what are all the possible choices in your faux aroma to install the kernel? So that I know exactly what I have to choose.

3)and what are the default settings if I install the kernel without the aroma?

thx in advance
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Thanks for that link and explanation Yank! But i must admit that it doestn solve my confusion :(

The question for me is when does the inactive max freq kick in and when the two-phase freq?

Two-phase is for the browser mode when nothing is done by the gpu right? Or does the inactiv freq kicks in there? Hope you understand my problem :D
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
1) I don't know exactly what's in the different files, but I'd say all except 99 should go, even though I'd rather you could post 40, 91 and 98 for me to have a look at to be on the safe side.

2) Choose the CPU freq. you would like (first menu), leave the rest to defualt and you should be fine to start with. (Redownload the kernel as I've changed the defaults lately !!)

3) See first post of this thread (192 - 1.72 I think).

In red : This is what intellidemand max inactive stands for.

Two_phase : is a mid-step, to which freq. will rise to when CPU load is detected. It will stay there for a bit and only if CPU load is still present, it will go up to the max CPU you set.

I hope that clears it up ;)

OK, I've looked at the files :

40 - Don't know where this one comes from, but if it's fine for you now, you can leave it as is

89 - File must go, delete it

91 - Fine, leave it as is

98 - You can remove the last bit :

#Sweep2wake
SW_STATE=`read_sys_setting tweaks_sweep_wake 0`;
echo Setup Sweep2Wake;
echo $SW_STATE > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake

Won't work on faux, but I handle this in Aroma installer script generator. So if you'd rather leave it untouched, no problem.

[HTC Sensation] loan92:
Sorry for the stupid question, I've just installed the new kernel faux 008b8, the phone is much more reactive than the kernel bricked, but I noticed that heats more, before I was using the script of "D-Shel" for 'undervoltig (and I used -62.5 mv) now with this kernel I had to set -50 mv, because with -62.5 mv set the phone would not start? and why it is so hot the phone? perhaps due to the configuration of the gpu? :D
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Have you cleaned up /system/etc/init.d ? If you still have the other undervolting script, you're now running your Sensation at -112.5 mV, which is not bad at all !! :D

Check the content of your init.d folder ;)

The heat just could be GPU OC, try to set it to 266MHz to see if that is better.

ok I did not throw anything, the only thing is I deleted the file "98badass" that had nothing to do with the kernel faux! however I can not figure out if I have a Undervolt of 62.5 mV as set by the script of "D-SHEL"? or if I have the 50 mv Undervolt as I have set with your kernel? ... or if I have a total Undervolt of 112.5 mv? :) anyway, do you overclock the GPU may be the cause of warming? :D
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
You have 2 scripts which reduces the voltages twice, bad idea, as it will drop twice ! Remove the other script as suggested by GhostXSeries and set undervolting in Aroma, that will update the 99z_kernel file.

Heat may be GPU OC, set to to 266 just to test if that is any better.
