Hi Yank!

Just wondering, which installer I should be using and is there anything special I should know about for my phone. Using Elegancia Sense 4 ROM. Original cooked in kernel was Bricked, ran Sebastian cleaning script and flashed Sebastian kernel (what I'm running now).

Anything special I need to do to try out the new faux? Most of my info is in my sig but LMK if you need more info. Thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Nothing more to do, just flash ahead, the flasher removes Seb's thermald & mpdecision as well as Bricked init.d files.

Either use 008b11v2 or 2.12 (depending on the GPU OC you want, 320MHz and 300MHz respectively).

JP.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Thanks Yank! Will give it a go! Hoping for good battery life.
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
Hi yank you mentioned that Sebastian's cleaner file removes his thermald and mpdecision? So that means its mandatory to flash his cleaner file before flashing to faux/bricked?

This is because my rom is cooked with Sebastian's by default and I just flashed faux over. Wonder if I need that cleaner file thanks! :D
[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
This version is definitely snappier than b8, and b8 was already pretty snappy. Also, Sense restarts have gone away. I can load as many things as I want in parallel and I cant get it to restart. This is version is fantasmic so far.

Thanks Yank and Faux.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

It looks like Yank has embedded code into the aroma installer to remove files belonging to bricked and sebastians kernel. I have also seen scripts in etc/int.d that delete the thermald and mpdecision files.
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
My lag has cut down quite abit with the latest beta 11. It's to do with the system freeing memory.....I think.

Thanks yank and faux for all the hard work.
[HTC Sensation] Rumball:
Yank555, I had a question that I'm hoping you can help me with. It is really to allow me to understand better how the LMK settings work.

Previously in this thread you indicated that setting the LMK parameters to "Multitasking Ultimate" (2MB, 4MB, 5MB, 8MB, 12MB 16MB) was just asking for trouble...however looking at your 98swap script that gets installed with Faux123 it has the line:

which sets LMK to the same values as "Multitasking Ultimate". Am I interpetting this correctly ? So the Multitask Ultimate LMK settings are only fine if the device has swap enabled?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] neikes:
Thank you for your hard work, yank. Will test the new kernel as soon as I'm back from dentist.

[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
Installed 008b11v2 and it's smooth. Been that way for 12 hours now.

BTW,regarding lag last time I got horrendous lag I noticed the process android.process.media was running at high cpu , specifically some threads about media scanner service and db migration service. This ran for a good 5-10 minutes, and drained battery too, and whilst running my phone was virtually unusable. I've been monitoring this and this process seems to run randomly every now and again, certainly sometimes a few minutes after a reboot.

Which makes me wonder if the lag I got with b9 was simply this process kicking in again.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Nope, faux's installation script takes care of those two, I handle removing Bricked leftovers, so in essence you should just be able to flash ahead.

Of course, I don't know

all

the details of those other 2 kernels, so I may still be missing something...

If you're referring to the "50faux" script, well don't know where that one comes from for sure, but neither from faux nor from me, I have a hunch it's flashing with mike's ARHD if you choose faux as kernel during ROM flashing ... but can't tell for sure.

JP.

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

The answer is yes, lowering LMK without helping LMK freeing memory pages by swapping them out is a perfect solution to generate lag !

But in the meantime, since new memory management has been introduced in 3.0.39 to be precise, I believe that even with swap this ultimate setting is too agressive, but it's just a hunch, I have no scientific evidence to prove this !

So if you look at the latest swap script, you'd see that I have softened those LMK settings, and that seems to work better. Maybe they still need to be softened more...

Allow me to put it this way :

1) No swap (neither zram, nor hardswap)

Leave LMK be as stock !!!

2) zram

Don't know, don't use it much so you'd need to test, but don't be harsh, don't set them too low ! Remember with zram you sacrifice RAM to get swap, so you start with less than stock RAM to begin with !

3) hardswap

At best use multitasking medium (or whatever it's called, look for the correct values in my script) or set it to even higher if you still have lags.

Hope this cleares things up a little.

What I understood from yank's post a few posts back is that faux' installation script deletes Seb's mpdecision and thermald files and yank takes care of bricked leftovers? So can I just flash this on top of sebs 1.51 or do I need to run/flash something else/ delete extra files? And if I would go back would there be something I should do?

Must have been asked many times before, but can't search on my phone..

Been meaning to ask this the last few versions.

Will it work if I installed the B12 direct from faux, and then ran the B11 aroma installer from Yank but selecting the config only option, to get myself B12 with Yanks customisations whilst awaiting the aroma version, or will things get confused doing that?

You should be able to jus5 flash right ahead ;)

If you want to go back, delete "/system/etc/init.d/99z_kernel" and "/system/etc/init.d/99swap" (if you chose hardswap).

I will add an uninstall in Aroma when I get to it...

Havnt try the 11v2. Just b11 and b12 in faux index.

Im getting the right speed of 384 when in stanby?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
If you want to control the settings, flash Aroma version. If you don't you're getting stock kernel values, which are higher than that.

Plus init.post_boot.sh will set min frq. To 384 inst4wd of 192.

So my advice, flash Aroma ;)

Faux/Yank

I am on 008v11 aroma install. Happen to have another freq stuck at 810.

Apart of that, the Rom/kernel is flying.

I made a script to print out all the settings in a given moment. There you will see that max freq has changed to 810. Don't know why. what log do you need.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
As I stated a few times already... the intellidemand INACTIVE MAX freq MUST MATCH the ACTIVE MAX freq.. this is a user configuration error.... Once you fix it then the stuck 810 MHz issue will be gone forever!
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
It could be the battery going bad. All battery percentages are based on estimates. When it is that low the estimation gets worse.
[HTC Sensation] Jackos:
Faux... Sorry, but no way this might be actually true :P
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Can you post your "/system/etc/init.d/99z_kernel" please ?

Thanx, JP.
[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
How are these users able to flash with different active max and inactive max frequencies? The aroma installer certainly doesnt allow you to change the active max, only inactive max and two phase.

Unless there is a problem with Aroma whereby choosing a different inactive max doesnt apply to the active max?

I have mine set different as well. According to 99zkernel.

Intellidemand Inactive = 810 - set in aroma - even if I wanted to set this to 1728x I couldn't, the max selectable value is 1.02.

intellidemand active = 1728x - same as max cpu freq (no specific option in aroma)

Two phase = 1134 - set in aroma

By default the aroma installer sets inactive max to 1.02 which if flashed with default values will do exactly what you say not to.
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
Faux, thanks for your clarification again, I just noticed the lag and print out the current setting.

Also your file in your server, 88fauxintelli12, that your previously post in this thread for the ones with that liked 1.2 maximum whose code I am posting here reflects something different

#!/system/bin/sh

#Intellidemand
echo 1188000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 1188000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/intellidemand/io_is_busy
[COLOR="Red"][B]echo 1188000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/intellidemand/lmf_active_max_freq
echo 918000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/intellidemand/lmf_inactive_max_freq[/B][/COLOR]
echo 918000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/intellidemand/two_phase_freq

So if that is the problem, then the AROMA shouldn't let you choose the 2, only one and set the other by default. I still not get it.

The Aroma Installation doesn't allow you to choose a inactive max frequency above 1.24 (same scale of the Two Phase Freq).

So to summarize AROMA i wll stat what is the top freq i can select:

cpu min: 486

cpu max: 1.728

screenoff: 702

Inactive max freq: 1.24

Two Phase freq: 1.24

So by any mean I could have selected equal frequencies for Inactive and max using AROMA cause the range above 1.24 is not available.

I will change the value manually in the init.d file, if that what it takes. or better, I will remove all the settings for CPU and leave the other configuration (GPU/Usb, etc). I will print out the output of cpu actual freq.

Again, I am available to help find the solution, this is what developers forums should be for, I am not complaining, just trying to help.

Attached the file 99z_kernel
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Which is why I don't use aroma. I've never had a good result with the aroma versions. Maybe it allows me to pick invalid configs (I mean we just pick from a menu, like at Baskin & Robbins) without actually knowing what is exactly what.

I think if you're "testing" a kernel you install it, run it. Once you've established everything is working, then you change configuration, and run again.

I'm afraid this thread has gotten weird because most people aren't running kernel in its stock configuration, so we don't know if we have a kernel problem, or a config problem.

Loading b9 - b12 without installer has given me no issues. I don't have b12 in long enough to know anything, but b10 was amazing with battery.

I think threads should be split into Faux and Faux/Yank.

P.
[HTC Sensation] Jackos:
Your config looks fine to me. Find out if removing UV fixes your problem.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Do you have any batt mod installed? If so, and you are also running a 3.33 sense based rom you might wanna take a look at this fix. It is likely that your issue is related to a wrong reading from the batt% mod
[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
I am not saying I have issues. My phone has been running flawlessly since I started following this thread and installing kernels with aroma as they became available from Yank. I am simply providing evidence that what Faux outlines as being the proper configuration is impossible to achieve with the aroma version. surprisingly, configuring the kernel against Faux's recommendation has not caused me any issues whatsoever. So whatever issues people do experience are probably being caused by something else.

What I would like is to hear from Yank regarding the discrepancy in his configuration relating to active/inactive max between the stock faux kernel and his aroma installer.

----------

I also noticed Faux stock kernel does not create a 99zkernel file in etc/init.d.
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
This is using faux binary, no Aroma, removing all CPU related stuff from init.d script. Just faux defaults. Inact and active differs......
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
(deleted)
[HTC Sensation] chrisrj28:
So from what I noticed since this whole lag issue is that it has to do with Ram. Personally when I have tried every version from b9 to b12 everything is ok until I open a heavy app like browser or similar. Free ram dips between 50 to 80mb and I get slowdown, it appears the ram management is not working as it should.

I have tried with and without zram and I get the same issue, is this what you all notice too?

When I flash back to b8 I don't have this problem. Not trying to stir the pot, just providing an observation. I don't think it's an error on the kernel part, I just think it's how the new kernel base is designed and that is causing issues.
[HTC Sensation] Jackos:
I guess Faux made a typo about those two parameters.
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
I think that both happens at the same time for me. I have around 200m of free memory using zram from faux kernel (already remove zram init.d scritp installed by the ROM). When the freq get stuck then the memory goes to 120M in a few seconds or minutes. So I really think they are related but, if the solution is indeed to change the values, I would do it myself. But those are not even the defaults that the Kernel uses. So until further clarification I will leave the values as the Faux binary. Also the lag appear for me after more than 18 hours of use, so there is no clear evidence what cause it.

I had a reboot while my phone was connected to the computer. I have DISABLED USB fast charging and GPU3D at 266

Thanks in advance....
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
FauxClock is buggy and somewhat obsolete. What is it you need to do with FauxClock or SetCPU, exactly? Faux kernel runs quite well with its built-in configuration. You can fine-tune it, but as a noob, perhaps you should let Faux do what it does.

PS: SetCPU pro doesn't have any governors, the governors are part of kernel. SetCPU allows you to choose among the various governors built into kernel, but has no governors.

Flashed b12 with aroma installer and my phone went all buggy. Weather from a city 1000 miles away showing up, didn't want to wake up initially, then I rebooted and it got stuck at the HTC screen.. only real issue I've ever had so far with installing any of the kernels. Could be my phone, something in the kernel, nor sure. For now though I'm back on b11v2. Keep up the great work, its much appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
I think you should have waited a bit for Faux to make this a fix in his stock kernel which would have become beta 13. Faux's beta 12 in stock form suffers from the aforementioned issue and you basically corrected it in your aroma version of beta 12. So now when beta 13 comes out, your version beta 13 will be identical to beta 12. No sweat for me, but reading these threads... I can see there being a lot of questions. Unless you plan to just update Faux's B12 and keep the same version number. Then this is a moot post.
[HTC Sensation] ammenRA:
no prob here mate.
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Beta 12 Aroma fine for me too.

You may have a data partition error hence HTC logo. I had that out of the blue when using ARHD 6.7.2XE. Couldn't work out why it happened cause I didn't flash anything... It was just reboot and bang HTC screen.

Hope you made a nandroid, mine was 3 days old but better than nothing.

thanks for the excellent reply and clarification first.

In short, learn before working on the SGS3. Thanks in advance!
