What is the difference between your 08b old version and 08b version 3....?? Any notable changes? Both working with ViperS ryt?
[HTC Sensation] mchstream:
where could i find more information on hard swap and uv'ing for understanding and comparisons with this kernel?

thank you.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
As stated, just screen off max is added as an option in Aroma script generator, kernel is 008b8 exactly the same.

Thank you for the quick reply. yes already started learing a little on under volting and hard swap. Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
If I do not make mistake, I read on this thread that with bricked and sabastian FM kernels the CPU1 totaly turn off. Faux kernel doesn't turn off the CPU1 but put it in deep sleep, so basically the result is the same, only difference is that system tuner or other tuners show CPU1 still online and not only CPU0. For me I have greater battery life with Faux than others, so it doesn't use more battery to keep it like that. And I believe this way CPU1 respond faster being in sleep that totaly off. As my benchs results are greater with faux than any other kernel.

hey m8, no matter what i do i get only 4500 on antutu, installed the thermalpatch and on phone andusing the 1.56ghz 0.1 faux kernel modified by baadnews but nothing changes, wheres the problem? Any help?
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Looks like you're getting stock performance... Are you sure CPU is adjusted to 1.56 and CPU temp does not reach 80C? The thermal patch fix that max temp to lower cpu freq back to 1.18...

Which app are you using to check max freq? When this happened to me I could see the max freq being lowered!
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
could u recommend a app that is logging the frequencies correctly? Dont know any... thx :) how can i check the cpu temp? my phone isnt getting so much warm during antutu..

generally i think theres something wrong on my sensation but i just dont get it whats the problem...

linpack multithread max score is 48

quadrant not more then 2000

nenamark2 laughable 25fps

and antutu 4500

eventhough with the newest roms newest kernel and overclocked to 1.56ghz, i dont get it :(

reinstalled, everything, installed official Europe 1.45RUU but nomatter what i do my sensation wont.

Really laughable at all my Desire HD was faster then this newest "highend" device
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Just wait until the newest kernel is released. My scores are all over the place as well.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
You can try my app in the signature, available on Market. You can tap 'tweaks' button then CPU... you'll have a 'real-time' (every seconds) frequency reading... Then start Antutu, and long-press home to go back to system tuner CPU screen...

That's how i discovered CPU freq was lowered to 972MHz on some build with stock thermals...

Not sure if SetCPU and the likes display real-time frequencies?

EDIT1: Actually you might want to post the results test, so we can compare the various results... if it's the CPU or another component reducing the total score! For me it was obviously the CPU.

EDIT2: I've attached the last results I ran yesterday. Running another one right now for double-checking.

EDIT3: Double-checking resulted in 3300-3900 in AnTuTu!!! :( Reboot, test again, back to 5400!? Something goes wrong over time!
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
What goes wrong is that cpu1 gets reset and turns off. There are scripts and hacks to force cpu1 to remain on always but even those are not working 100% of the time. Now that we have the source code for 2.3.4, Faux has pointed out the coding for dual core support is better. We'll just have to wait until the newest kernel is released and go from there.
[HTC Sensation] kickdrum74:
Anticipation................................I know this new kernel is going to be awesome. I can't wait.....
[HTC Sensation] MMoodyB:
In applications that only use a single cpu core, the DesireHD will be as quick / slightly quicker as its cpu was clocked at 1ghz but it was running a lower screen res.

You will need to wait for proper multi-threading support in the android os / games to get the best performance from the cpu's.

The gpu is much better though, so if games are running worse than on the DHD then blame their developers.

[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
glad to see you still around man, your word other than the other devs we worked with is the one I trust. Hope Faux lets us test this kernel as well. I have my laptop with me at work so I can do some ADB action.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
I checked CPU1 was online, reapplied the dual core forcing live, no better perfs. Reboot back again.

Agreed, waiting for the new kernel... at least it will match the ROM and we should all see big improvements. Back to stock until then.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Having matching source code does not mean better performance, but it does mean greater stability and 100% compatibility. The kernels are in capable hands now. Once I received positive feedback, I will release the beasts ;)

[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
Hey Yank,

Just tried your Aroma version for the first time as I've not used an Aroma version before. Nice, very nice!

My problem with it is I'm overwhelmed with choices and not sure what exactly to pick to be the best, for me. We should have some kind of profile database with the recommend settings for how you use your phone.

In my case, quite a lot of web surfing, emailing, hardly ever make phone calls. Don't play games much (apart from the occasional Angry Birds when answering calls of nature at work !) Phone is usually plugged in to USB when I'm at work and in a car charger, and charged each night, so I'm not too worried about battery life... Recommend me some settings!!!
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
With what you describe, just go for the default settings ;)

If you were concerned about battery life, I'd have said, set CPU max lower, don't use GPU OC, but since it's not an issue at all :cool:

And if you are into loads of multitasking, I'd have said, partition you SD card (add a swap partition), use hardswap and don't use zram.

just want to say this kernel is running smooth, no fc's, no reboots, very fast and excellent.

Thank you faux123!
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
I have one small comment/question/request for the Aroma installer version... I've been having a play, wanting to tweak the odd value here or there to see what difference I get, but everytime you install you get the default values and have to remember what exactly you set last time.

Would it be possible once you've done it once to store your values in a .ini file somewhere, so next time you run it, your previously selected values are populated instead of defaults?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
That is a good point, and I have already thought of something like that when I started working on Aroma. Honestly I don't know yet if and how it is possible to do it, but at least trying to is on my todo list ;) But I can't say when I'll get the time to dig into it, it's nothing I'll be able to quickly do between two other things...

I'll expand the frq. ranges as resquested earlier first, that's more of a quick & easy mod.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Iceberger:
You can try a workaround,

Aroma uses a file with predefined selections. The default ones are =1, the rest are =0.

If you edit this file to your own "defaults" you can save it and use it in future releases.

the way to do it:

Unzip the file, goto META-INF > com > google > android > Edit the file aroma-config with a text editor, notepad or notepad++

When finishd zip it and you're good to go.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
In essence yes, but in real life this could be dangerous, if I update the range of frequencies, using an "old" aroma-config on a new zip, you will end up having frequecies in the script that are not those that you chose during installation :(

Suppose for instance the list was :

300

400

500

and after my update it would be

100

200

300

400

500

Since Aroma will always count the return value from first to last, then the return value "2" would mean 200 for the updated script generator, even though you would have chosen 400 in the installer (second value of the "old" aroma-config)...

Now suppose that was screen off value, you'd believe to have chosen 400, and the script will set it to 200 (too low), and you'd end up having a phone that never wakes :eek:

So you're absolutely right, but I'd not recommend changing that file, except if :

1) You use it

only and exclusively

on that specific zip file, but not after an update of the installer (so after each update you'd need to recustomize it)

2) Or else you really really know what you are doing and have fully understood how the script generator works ;)

[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
Been using the kernel a few days and the verdict is:

Runs very fast, very stable, battery life seems to be only marginally affected coming from 007r2. I am noticing at most 30 minutes less battery up time.

However, the back lower half gets a lot hotter than 007r2 when browsing the web or facebook. I am curious if this is due to increased CPU OC. I think 007r2 uses the same GPU OC as 008b8.

Not a big deal, just posting an observation and I know I can lower the CPU frequency to compensate.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Can you try disabling GPU OC, set it to 266MHz just to validate if that is linked ?

[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
Very minor. Though I may just be used to it.

What do you think? CPU?

I think a more scientific test would be to run a benchmark(not sure if Antutu can stress it enough) and use a IR thermometer to measure the temperature from config to config.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
If you have one handy, go ahead ;)

Thing is mine stays cool, but I have reduced GPU OC to 300MHz in my recompile of faux's 008b8. Unfortunately, it's either 320 or 300, or you through away the scaling, there is a very limited number of slots possible :(

I run mine like this :

192-1.72 CPU

810 Intelli max inactive

810 two_phase

436 screen off (no impact on tbe matter at hand, but anyway)

300 GPU

-100mV

I suppose Nenamark will stress 3D GPU more. CPU can be stressed by SetCPU.

[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
I will monitor the phone going forward and report back. If I find a harbor freight coupon I have a reason to get an IR thermometer. ;)

How much improvement in battery life have you noticed with under volting? I can't see how overclocking and under volting is stable unless the phone runs too much voltage from the start.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I guess you just nailed it, I think stock volting is just a little more than the 'worst' device needs, hence if you're lucky and get a really good one, you can go quite far. At -112.5 I had a reboot, so I moved back to -100, no reboot for the 2 days I'm running that setting. But I've seen show-p runs his at -150 !

I've noticed lower noticable standby drain coupling undervolting and lower screen off max CPU frequency.

The higher clocks have higher voltage, to be stable, but this way you save in the lower end to give it back for more power, you use your juice more wisely.

These are my current voltage settings in the high frq range :

[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
There's not a aosp version of this kernel?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
There's no miracle, if you want more battery life, you need to give performance.

Lower clocks will draw less juice. You need to experiment up to where you're ready to give performance for juice ;)

[HTC Sensation] Rvl7:
oh sorry...

i mean for battery live not performance...

if set low freq cpu with undervolt, i am worried the cpu lack power that can drain the battery
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Yep, that is what I meant.

Choose default values, and go with them for a few days to see if battery life is good enough for you.

If it's not, try this :

- lower CPU max

- lower CPU screen off max

- lower Intellidemand inactive max

- lower Intellidemand two_phase

- don't use GPU overclocking (set it to 266MHz)

NB: This will cost performance, though, you can't have it all !

And test again for a few days if it's better.

Still not enough, you can try to undervolt, but be carefull, your device can become unstable, even bootloop if you don't give enough voltage, do this last.

Hey what's hypernonsense considered a sense or aosp rom?

It's sense based, with AOSP tools. The base always matters, so it needs to run on top of a sense kernel.

Stuck on faux kernel

Hi everyone I'm sorry to bother you, but I found something and it seems to me that it is related with faux kernel. Let me explain:

I was using HyperSensation and everything was running smoothly, but I decided to try other ROM's to test what other stuff was out there, and that's where it happened...

Every time I flashed a ROM, after following proper procedure and then rebooting, it would boot until the lockscreen showed up and then it will shut off, always, no matter what ROM I try, except for HyperSensation. I even tried going back to stock installing a RUU but got the same results.

Then, I installed Supreme Blu, another AOKP ROM like HyperSensation and it worked fine... Later I tried with Android Revolution, first with stock kernel, same results; then with Sebastian-FM kernel, same results; lastly with faux kernel and it worked fine... Was there when I remembered that HyperSensation use faux kernel too, so, just to prove a point (I know your kernel is not compatible), I even flashed a pair of Sense 4 ROM's and immediately flashed your kernel and they booted fine (they didn't work before).

So it seems I'm locked up with your kernel. Have any of you encounter this before? Any ideas how can I solve this?
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
do you superwipe before flashing roms?
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Provided you wiped correctly, try changing your governor to ondemand before flashing. Shouldn't affect it but I had that happen once.

If that fails, try backing up your sd and wiping it. Only put the ROM back on the SD and try flashing. You can put your music, pictures and other personal things back on later.

Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] waterun:
Great~ if there is an app or a script that can ajust those params at any time, I believe that everyone can get right settings they want.

A few thoughts ...

- HyperSensation / AOKP ROMs should not use faux's sense kernels, since they are not sense based. So you're using faux's aosp kernel I suppose ?

- Faux's Sense kernel starting 008b6 is Sense 4 compatible.

- Do you undervolt ?

- Do you change your screen off max CPU frq ?

Would it be possible to read the 99Kernel file at each step in the installer to get present values? It would save you from needing an INI file potentially. Not sure if its possible, just throwing out ideas.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Possible, certainly, a lot is, but would require a parser to 'scan' that file, not an easy task...

An INI kind of approach would be way easier.

But, since there always is a but, is it possible to dynamically change the defaults in Aroma, since they are hardcoded in the aroma-config file :(

Will need time to dig i to that first, if that's a no go, it's useless going any further...

Well v3 or v4 is the same kernel, just more options in installer.

2/3 bars might be an issue, or better a reason for a little more drain, as it has to send with more power, so it will use a bit more.
