And I'm giving it a Hardcore beta test to my version today :) will report back soon :)

For now as smooth as usual but must check bat life and what better than games + gps + calls? ;)
[HTC Sensation] GoreTan:
So you modified Yank's kernel?

What you modify?

Care to share as well? :D

thanks!
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Not me, Yank ;) just testing here :)

I don't think it's any disrespect at all, he just has different needs so he tweaks it to his needs. Even faux helped him to recompile the kernel and so on ;)

And about a thread its common sense he opens a thread as soon as he thinks is ready and just if he wants. :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Don't worry, I'm not reporting anyone for anything, we live in a free world (or at least a free forum ;)) so we're all here to express our ideas ;)

Yes I have recompiled faux's kernel, but first time was exactly 3 days ago only (saturday around midday CET) and with faux's help, too, so not behind his back or so ! So up until then I was using 007u (and previous versions) full and plain !

All I did, and still am doing, is sharing my ideas on how that kernel works best for me ... nothing more. I thought xda was all about sharing ideas to move forward (either because the idea is good and can be used by more people, or because the idea is bad and I got helped to quit using it).

Since I recompiled the kernel, I added the info in my signature, that's all. And all I did was hardcode changes I previously did with SetCPU and SystemTuner, so you and everybody else can do as well

while using faux's kernel like I did before

, and I added the forced fast USB charge mod (because I needed/wanted it, but this brings nothing to performance or stability, so eventually I'm still running faux's plain 007u).

Now someone asks here if I am willing to share that version of the kernel ... I, for instance, didn't advertise to offer anything, just answered his question.

And worst of all, I feel that posting that version (with almost no change to faux) in my own thread would be disrepectfull vs. faux, as if I would take his great work, change one tiny little bit and call it my own ?!

I don't feel it to be my work, faux did the whole work... I just changed a few parameters (in the source that can be change at run-time anyway) and added one little mod.

So if I shall stop sharing ideas on the way I use this kernel to either help others, or to help me find out if it really is better or worse, just let me know, and I'll stop and keep it to myself.

But I think that is all against the whole point of xda, or am I wrong here :o

JP.

PS:

And btw, I was suggesting to add the USB fast charge mod, which faux didn't have time doing, so I just did it myself instead of harrassing him to do it for me (like most here do), don't think that is disrespectfull. I also shared the commit to the mod on github with him, so he could use it in his kernel if he wanted, don't think that is disrespectfull either...

Here are the links if you don't believe me :

https://github.com/yank555-lu/msm8660-htc-ics/commit/e01aeec695209026d15e6ce3fbd3bf41d7967e7e

https://github.com/yank555-lu/msm8660-htc-ics/commit/1e30ab5a58dba4f8894e4ffd237bf966a57ee92f

And if you care to check, the sources I use is not a blunt hidden "copy" of faux's, it's a proper documented fork on github.

PPS:

MuertoKo contacted me by PM to ask if I could hardcode his parameters into the kernel, which I did for him, that's all there is to that, so he is running a 007u kernel with different default clocks and governor (& USB fast charge).
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Couldn't have said it better :) This is what XDA is about right? Faux took s2w from show-p, he took some things from faux... Open source and sharing to be better and learn, not to brag about!

I just have some special needs on my Sensy not to reboot (bad luck with chip...) And can't handle GPU Oc for example, and I asked Yank555 to hardcore that to a kernel for me as it was a pain scripting it all the time!

He had some other tweaks (USB fast charge is a must as I mostly use this as gps and helps at car!) So he added too!

Not disrespectful at all :) just nice developing and a few tweaking ;)

@Yank,

Hi, I wud like to have a little suggestion frm U.

I'm running ROM - Insertcoin Evolution v2.0.

I flashed kernel - faux 007u kernel.

I also flashed - Xtreme BatterySave frm here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684552

I want to ask U will it do any harm if I flash RAM-HACK-SD CACHE over it ??

What will it affect ?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
First thing that will be change is your governor. If you are using Xtreme betterysave it's mean you are looking for a long battery life. This hack will set governor Ondemand with min freq at 384 MHz. While using this hack my CPU1 was always on. I am using faux 007u on Ordroid.

So you'll lose the battery life you are having actually.
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
If you need some people for test it, let me know. I'll be happy to try it and give you feedback.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I think this is a little off topic, since it's not really a kernel-related question, rather a swap / zram related question, so I answered your post here :

Don't know for kernel changes (no commit on his github) but the init.post_boot.sh is corrected so that init.d scripts only are executed from there for ARHD, so they won't run twice on other ROMs.

[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Hoping somebody could help me. I am on PkMn 5.1. I have just installed kernel 007u_r. I have set CPU 0 to a max freq of 1242000 and this has worked ok.

I then went to set the freqency of CPU 1 using the same code on the first page and got the following error:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/online

sh: cannot create /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/online: No such file or directory

also when I tried to set the min frequency I got the same error. No such file or directory. Am I right in saying the 2nd processor is usually disabled by default and only used under heavy load.

If that is the case can I set it to only come on when needed and have a max frequency of: 1242000?

Am I also wright in saying that the 2nd core is disabled on screen off and primary core is limited to 594mhz?

EDIT: Just installed FauxClock and it is showing both CPU's enabled and running.
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
Setting values for CPU1 doens't work, you have to set values for CPU0, the files you write to don't exist if CPU1 is offline. If both cores are online the rules for CPU0 apply.
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
Yes, I tried several time but it never worked for me too. But even if you do that after each reboot of when your phone go to sleepmod you frequency will be back to the default freq, for this kernel it's 1512 MHz and it'll be same for the min freq.

Best is to use a script and put it on init.d, set permissions then reboot. Look on the attached file, open it with block note and set the min freq you want, then with root explorer (or ES file explorer with root setting) put it on /etc/init.d set permissions then reboot. This way you don't need to use terminal emulator all the time.

Not sure if the second core is disable, if it was so the file "screen_off_max_freq" on /cpu1 wouldn't be set too. i also realized that when I modify "screen_off_max_freq" on /cpu0 the cpu1 turn online and "screen_off_max_freq" is also modified on /cpu1. I guess the cpu1 turn online only when need even screen off.

For my experience it doesn't do the thing. I check with system tuner and when bothe cpu at full use the max freq of cpu1 is not the same than cpu0. Also the results given by bench show it too. When you set only cpu0 the result are totally different than when you set both cpu.
[HTC Sensation] waterun:
if you use your phone as GPS in car, usb charge is not limited by the kernel, actually, it is limited by the usb charger port current. if your car charger can provide more current, the phone charge will be faster.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
That is wrong, the kernel will not draw more than 500mA if it detects a USB port, full charge (1A) will only be used if AC is detected.

So if your car charger is detected as USB port instead of AC, which is the case with my charger, even though it is labled 1A, my Sensation charges at only ~350mA (net charging reported by BatteryMonitorWidget), anc now with the usb fast chargd mod it charges at the same rate as if plugged to the wall charger (600-800mA).

Have you really tested this or just assuming here !? Because I have tesed this for real...

Hi friends.

I switched to faux from bricked (using OrDroid). So far so good but the camera keeps crashing for me. Well not really crashing, it just jumps to to the home screen, either when pressing the take picture button or by itself after 20sec or something like that. It doesn't happen always though, in fact it only seems to happen when I really need to take a pic quickly and mostly works when I try to recreate the crash :P

The cam doesn't FC, it just exits and its still running in recent apps. When I switch back to the app it works until I try to take a pic again, then it sents me back to home screen.

Does anybody have an idea what's going on? I didn't have that with bricked so I assume it must be kernel related. I'm using the stock Sense 4 camera, no burst mode just ordinary pic taking.

Thank you for your help
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
OK, then you are lucky to have it detected correctly as AC, mine's detected as USB and without the mod only charges at ~400mA.

But a 1A labeled port should give you 600-800mA charging nevertheless...

I just tested charging on a standard USB2.0 port on my PC (500mA - powered 7-port USB Hub) with fast charge active on the Sensation.

Thus the port is detected as AC, and it loads at ~400mA, so it even works with older ports and draws only whatever it can, no problem with the port either.

So it doesn't seem to hurt charging in "AC" mode on an old USB port.

As you see, it is the port and/or its detection that decides, the app you're running won't change anything there.

If a port delivers only 500mA, or is detected as USB, the phone can't / won't draw more than 500mA.

JP.

EDIT ------------------------------

Well there is another detail I forgot to mention, charge current will decrease as the battery gets closer to 100%. So the emptier the battery when testing, the better.

Here is my test on the PC, it started charging at 519mA, which is more than a normal USB charge would be, but it decreases as it fills the battery :

Hey Guys,

I'm getting android.process.acorn FC's after flashing 7u or 7u_r2.

If I wipe no issues until i restore may apps only via TB. I don't have this issue with v.6.

1. wipe everything.

2. restore nandroid backup (which had bricked on it)

3. flash faux 7.0

4. format cache and dalvic.

5. reboot

6. android.process.acorn errors.

if i clear data in the "contacts storage" I can end the errors until I re-boot.

another scenario.

1. wipe

2. install os

3. flash faux 7.0

4. reboot.

5. no issues.

6. restore my apps via TB (not system data)

7. reboot

8. fix permissions, clear cache and dalvic

9. android.process.acorn errors

In either of these scenario's if I flash faux 6.0 I have no problems.

[HTC Sensation] deboopi2:
So what to do when you want to use fastcharge?

I've been reading this topic, I have seen the changed rom based on faux's but I do not know the best way to have fastcharge on my sensation.

I'm running ARHD 6.6.7 with faux kernel 007b4 on a sensation XE.

I've seen tools such as Fastcharge apf and intellicontrol, I(ve tried the free version of Intellicontrol but the sliders on the SVS tab are all grayed out. I've got no idea if fastcharge 1.7 widget will work since I cannot try out a free/test version.

When using the changed kernel ( by yank555) you 've got to make the choice when booting, right? If you choose fastcharge what about using the usb to connect to the pc, do you need another reboot to set in in slowcharge?

That's why the fastcharge widget seems so attractive to me (if it works).

Can anybody help me out?
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
faux clock is not made by faux and is know to not work anylonger with the latest kernels for a long long time! use system tuner or something else.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Fastcharge will be in the next beta by faux, he pulled my commit.

If a kernel does not support fastcharge (the mod is not compiled into the kernel) the widget won't work.

If you want to know if a kernel has fast charge support, check if this folder exists :

/sys/kernel/fast_charge

If it does, the kernel has support, else it doesn't.

So far faux kernel don't have it, so no app has a chance to work.

Wait for faux to release his 008b1 officially (or b2?) with changelog, it should contain fast charge.

The scripts are just to set the default at boot (without script, fast charge is disabled at boot).

You can enable fast charge at any time by typing this in a terminal :

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

To disable at any time, type :

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

On reboot, fast charge will revert to default, with init.d script enabled, without, disabled.

Best thing to do is to follow faux on twitter. If there is nothing posted on his twitter, well there is no official update.

I recommend to stay away from non announced versions because you never know what changes has been made and/or if they are actually ready for beta testing. Not just for this kernel specifically but for everything you flash on your phone. If you don't know what are you flashing you can end up with a bricked device and that will be a shame.

Latest version announced from faux is v007u_r2. Period

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Was driving home, battery well emptied of a long day and thought to benchmark charging with my car charger with and without fast charge and wall charger once I arrived at home.

Here it is unfiltered truth for sceptics that believed it would ruin the battery :

As you can see, fast charge uses the higher current my car charger announces, if I disable fast charge, the charger is wrongfully detected as USB and charges at a lot lower rate, at around half rate.

Yet wall charging still charges at even higher rates without harming the battery.

Anyway, charging with fast charge enabled will never use higher currents on USB than on wall charger, since the phone believes to be connected to an actual wall charger.

Thought I'd share the figures.

[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Just flash this in recovery

http://db.tt/OfXdkQCA
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hi joaquinf,

Well not any more, even though that will still work ;)

I've modded sweep2wake switch, so it now is also accessible through a sysfs file and faux pulled it into the latest 008b2.

You can do this in an init.d script as you do with all other sysfs switchable stuff. Here is the file ("/system/etc/init.d/99sweep2wake") that is flashed with my version of faux's 007u :

#!/system/bin/sh
# Enable sweep2wake without backlight
# by Yank555.lu

echo 2 > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake/s2w_switch

Values are unchanged as well :

0 - sweep2wake disabled

1 - sweep2wake enabled with backlight

2 - sweep2wake enabled without backlight

But now you can change this at runtime to experiment without the need to each time reboot into recovery and re-falsh a zip and reboot.

Could be that the version that is currently in faux's 008b2 is still located in "/sys/kernel/sweep2wake/s2w_switch", show-p suggested to relocate it to "/sys/android_touch/sweep2wake/s2w_switch", don't know if the latest change is already included in faux latest.

So first check to see which of both exists :

/sys/kernel/sweep2wake/s2w_switch

or

/sys/android_touch/sweep2wake/s2w_switch

And if necessary adapt the scipt ;) Eventually it will be under "android_touch" which makes perfect sense.

[HTC Sensation] Luigiesin:
Hey guys... Thanks for the file.. I'm running 008b1 and it worked fine.

Yep, simply use a terminal or a file explorer and check if one of those two files exist :

/sys/kernel/sweep2wake/s2w_switch

/sys/android_touch/sweep2wake/s2w_switch

The flashable zip way to change default still will work with my mod that faux has included in 008b2.
