I have now installed beta 7 on ARHD 3.6.5. In daemon controller "Active Daemon" is virtuous_oc instead on none. I tried renaming the /etc/virtuous_oc folder, rebooted, wiped DC data, wiped cache and dalvik cache, but I cannot get rid of this virtuous_oc.

Plus, DC takes ages to start, I have to press wait 2 times before it starts.

Anyone has an idea what's wrong ?
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
i think thats right ?

mine says the same in active deamon.

Strange thing this morning : my phone gone wild while in my pocket, it overheated and shutdown...never happened before.
[HTC Sensation] Gtj94:
For the disable virtuous daemon thing go to system/xbin and delete the virtuous file in there :)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Why complicate things?

OC Daemon will set min and max for you. So, push the button that says bypass. That shuts off the profiles. Now OC Daemon is just a UI for setting the governor and min/max.

Set the governor to "Intelidemand". Set your min and max frequencies where you like them. Save.

Go about your business.

The more applications, the more layers, the more unnecessary, duplicate junk you have running, the more possibility for stuff to A) slow down B) lag C) screw up as all sorts of crap turns itself on and off, in and out, and interferes with processes.

[Q. I have 3 system tuners running. Every time I check my 2 battery monitors and 4 system monitors I have inconsistent results. I posted this on my PC because I'm only using the phone for testing the phone. Can anybody help me?

One thing i don't understand, beta 7 is for Sense ROM no ?
[HTC Sensation] immunityx:
Yes
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Mine don't do that And i use same settings, not the settings problems are elsewhere...

All of faux kernels are stable, but obviously the op releases are more stable than the beta you get support too so go with those.... To the guy asking about stable releass

fraux, once again about "browsing detection"

is it scales between cpu_scaling_max and 1,5GHz, or between 1Gh and cpu_scaling_max ?

i'm asking 'cause i dont have any 3D activity, but freq still jump to 1,56. is it normal?

i've removed all deamons, tweaks and scripts related to cpu, it's running all by default (intellidemand/192000/1566000)

[HTC Sensation] elvislam:
Comparing 0.2.4 b7 with b6, it seems the battery is draining faster in my daily usage. Will it consume more battery with ZRAM enabled while the phone is in use? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I find the opposite.

When I'm using it ,there is is barely any drain.

I am finding more drain when it's idle.

:)
[HTC Sensation] elvislam:
i was spotting ZRAM just coz i thought the main change in b7 was having ZRAM enabled.

there's more drain obviously in b7 in both my and my brother's phones.
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
(Pyramid3D v8.2.1) (0.2.4b7)

Best idle drain by far.. Getting -30 through -50 until I turn screen on.... Better than b6 on drainage same settings, no profiles, UV 75, well b6 really didn't have time to settle, if b7 is same except ram then this is the settled performance... I'm happy I think we got it... Thanks faux great job...

[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
I'm going to assume you haven't read any of my previous post. If you had you would not think i'm quite so ignorant.

I think system tuner has a better ui with more info. That's all. I don't have several different apps trying to achieve the same objective. No idea where you even got that at.

I also don't have multiple apps recording battery data. I have one for each. I also don't have inconsistent result or problems of any kind for that matter. Nor do i use my phone only for testing.

I really don't appreciate the condescending attitude or the fact that in all that you simply didn't answer my question. Just for the record the end of your post with that ridiculous question is a little overboard. Read any of my posts and you will never see me asking a question like that.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Here's my own report: Beta 7 with Modified Sense 3.5 ROM.

With lots of MP3, Youtube, WiFi, BT, Phone Calls and all Social Networking apps running (twitter, FB, G+, Gmail, Hotmail etc). Running @ 1.566 GHz with no profiles.

Basically FULL Smartphone use without the need to think about battery life.

PS: I will be calling Beta 7 as final version soon. Then I can FINALLY take my break from Sensation and catch up for my neglected projects (AOSP ROMs, other kernels etc)
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
hey faux

your stats are awesome, considering you've used it soo much

one day with so much usage is pretty damn good id say.

thanks for this latest kernel

enjoy your break, you bloody well deserve it!
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Excellent!! I can't believe how nice Beta 7 has been performing for me. Great speed, no hiccups, best battery I've ever gotten with Sensation.

Thanks for sticking with it.

Hmmm, now you made me curious :-P If b7 will be final i have to try it :-D Thanks for all the work you put in to this :-)

[HTC Sensation] gapper100:
I agree, beta 7 is running perfectly fast and smooth, and battery life is amazing.

Just one more question, Faux: Is the recently released source code of the Sensation XE-kernel of any use to you? Will, say, 0.2.5 eventually be based on this?
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
Can you post your settings
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Dude, I don't understand why we need the ZRAM function for....

I mean we have a **** load of ram already with the phone, why the need for it? We can already multitask with a bunch of apps open without having Androd close the apps for us.

Anyway we can modify Beta7 if your going to make it a final so it doesn't include ZRAM in it?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Already looked it at... nothing new... may be next version if I see anything worth taking...

Remember, HTC often sits on their code for a while before releasing, which means the code could be older than other sources even though it is recently released.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
You can always use Beta 6 :D... That's the only difference. This time I will leave Beta 6 on multiupload... I won't remove it as I did with my older betas.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Thanks, I'm liking Beta 6 with the battery life and performance.

I might give Beta 7 a try one day but deff Beta 6 is my favorite one for me.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Sure: I am on ARHD so the OC Deamon was already installed.

I set OC Deamon to Bypass Profiles, 192000 minimum, 1,512,000 maximum Frequency, intelidemand governor. I was running 384000 minimum for a while and saw no difference in battery usage.

I have uv at -50mv (script 95uv in init.d to set it on boot )

That's it. I let the kernel do everything else.

Battery going down faster than ever before

I am trying to be patient and go through several discharge/charge cycles, but my overall battery discharge rate seems to be higher than ever before while using 2.4b7 on ARHD 3.6.5. It seems to sleep ok, but some light usage is really drawing it down. It also "jumped" down by almost 20% after loading 2.4b7 and setting DC to bypass and rebooting. :(
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
I LOVE zRAM, adds a nice little "turbo" boost to everything, even if it uses a LIL bit more CPU power due to the compression\decompression, but our phone is def speedy enough to handle it. I cant see ZRAM hurting battery life more than a couple % due to our dual core cpu running at >1Ghz. ;)
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
Great, thanks. I've been having odd results but will be trying again.

Any ideas what causes your little awakes even tho screen is off?
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
Before leaving us sometime (maybe just waiting for ICS release ;) ) is it possible to let us choose which clock we want during web-browsing and assimilates ?

[HTC Sensation] Astug:
Loving the latest beta, excellent battery life and your custom govenor is amazing!

I do have a question; when I watch a movie (.mp4 or any other format really) the interface seems to slow down (less fps), it's laggy and sluggish (I've tested this with the stock video player, BS player lite & MX Video Player). This also happens in the Youtube app - only when you watch a video - scrolling through the tabs (from left to right) or through the comments is very laggish, as if fps has been halved. It's not a big issue, everything still works, but I was just wondering.
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
I cannot find init.d file. I am on arhd 4.1.6. Should I have installed fauxclock app or something?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Best bet is use one of the zips in the link that he gave. It will make the init.d file for you. Otherwise you need to make the init.d file it isn't there by default.

Init.d is a folder. The files inside are scripts that load at boot.
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
All makes sense now. Thanks will give it a go
[HTC Sensation] mzmo:
I've been using this kernel & following this thread as a sleeper for a while now & now I feel the need to "wake up".

Running Insertcoin 2.2.5 SSE & this probably is the best kernel going. Tried a couple of versions, but b6 gave me 7:15 hours of battery life, under HEAVY use. I'm talking about 90% display on, heavy texting, heavy browsing (including streaming a 45 min episode), some YouTube & constant music (about 5 hours) & wifi on the whole time with auto sync.

Just flashed b7 & ill see how it goes.

Thank you Faux for this badass kernel & your time. Will donate ;)

Thx Faux for great kernel with amazin battery life.

I'm just wondering, why there are big drop-off after reboot.

I had 33% and my phone froze, after restart i had 15%.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Mh, not sure, but am i the only one which have little lags while playing games? For example eternal lagacy hd?
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
You're right :D "If it's working, don't touch it" Thanks for your great work !

Is there any value we could change to modify the clock set for your Intellidemand or is it hard coded into the kernel ?
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
Don't reboot, power off, then power back on and you wont notice those dropoffs.
[HTC Sensation] gieja:
Power off as batt out? Phone was not responding so "three magic fingers" and reboot. What's the difference?
[HTC Sensation] H89P:
Great Work

[AR HD 4.1.6][faux 0.24b7]

Great Work Faux, but with the new Kernel my Phone gets, i wont sy hot but it is definitely a lot warmer than with prev betas
[HTC Sensation] heyjoe66:
try this fix

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1331556

it's strange, but... it really helps

my own voodoo is to install that fix and then recalibrate the battery
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
That means it froze, and will eat up battery until battery is pulled. Way different than a reboot, it's a system crash.
[HTC Sensation] gieja:
Yeah, but it froze when i was playing with it so it last just few seconds.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Not at this moment... There are lots of variables I need to bring out to sysfs interface.. it will take some time to do so.

Make sure thermald is running.
[HTC Sensation] AlexFlexy:
Hmm... just totally removed virtous_oc from phone and set OC daemon bypass (according 07 recomendations) and i have a very strange heavy battery drain.:confused:

I will try to fully charge phone and look behind the night drain...will write about it.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
This is an unusually basic question for me, but how can I check that thermald is active? Havent had many heat issues, but this seems useful to know. Looking forward to official release, its been a pleasure watching this progress thru open beta, its amazing how much progress is made when info is shared :D
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Thermald is in /system/bin/

And make sure there is no "stop thermald " in /etc/init.post_boot.sh

Not sure if you can check if it's active.

If it's there,it must be working.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
That looks fine, mines similar
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
It takes a couple days and or cycle to settle...
[HTC Sensation] H89P:
I don't have stop Thermald, in /etc/init.post_boot.sh only the Thermald in /system/bin

how can i check if it's enabled?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If it's there,then it will work.

:)
[HTC Sensation] H89P:
Thank you.

But this dosn't solve my temp problem.

What temp do you have on average, perhaps my feeling is too subjective
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Temperature averages 35-40 degrees.

Sometimes 45.

Difficult to know how accurate that is though.

System Tuner says the above.(Paid app)

Super box tools + 10, normally gives slightly lower figures.(free app)

:)
[HTC Sensation] H89P:
thank you

Ok, mine reports lower temperatures, but it is feeling higher

but for now this is enough :)

thank you

...

i just thought about it a second and i mentioned that ( now the phone is really cold) it says 25° and the last i thought it is too warm it also said 25, perhaps there is something wrong with the app

[0.2.4-b7][ARHD 3.6.5]

I'm still having this awkward issue from time to time, that when I turn my screen on I can just see the notification bar and my wallpaper. Notification bar seems to be active, means WiFi signal strength and general reception changes. Can't get to launcher or lockscreen. Had this with all betas since maybe 0.2.2. Only thing to fix this is reboot.

I even removed all mods. This happens on the stock ARHD. Don't know if it's a problem caused by WidgetLocker or Unlock with WiFi, maybe both. :/

Other than that, your latest kernel is plain awesome! Very good performance, everything is so smooth and battery life is ok!
[HTC Sensation] heyjoe66:
it's certainly something about your lockscreen

if you don't use htc lockscreen, you mite want to uninstall it and restore the stock one. should be more compatible with WidgetLocker

also, deleting from rom components, required for htc lockscreen, such as FriendStreem, could produce such problem
[HTC Sensation] eisteh:
Well, WidgetLocker replaces the stock sense lockscreen.
[HTC Sensation] heyjoe66:
i'm guessing, it's not replaces, but runs on top of it

but htc lockscreen is still running (just my thoughts)
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
(pyramid3d) (0.2.4 b7)

Why is my display sucking all the battery down.. is this normal? I have auto brightness.. no good idea?
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
What your showing is EXACTLY how it should look. When other apps,wake locks, etc are taking most of the battery, you have an issue but the display is SUPPOSED to be the biggest power drain. U may consider trying to get the autobrightness tweak (which tweaks auto-brightness to be more efficient and better on battery w/o being too low). I found it originally as a hack, but Roman added it to Bulletproof and CdT added it to Sensay. Its a really nice tweak that should save u some battery, as it seems uve already optimized quite a bit ;)
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
auto brightness = NO lol

the screen is a battery sucker on the sensation....

if htc had tested the screen it would have helped.

the SGS2 screen is amazing thou.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Thats not a fair comparison at all, they use two completely different types of displays. The Samsung SuperAMOLED will obviously be MUCH more power efficient that any LCD (Super or otherwise), as that's how they are made. Black on an HTC means the pixel is displaying black and is on, while black on a Samsung AMOLED means the pixel is off completely. The tweaked auto-brightness fixes the battery-wasting issue w/ auto-brightness. Now it functions like a champ :D
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Yeah. Super AMOLED used on many of Samsung's phones are amazing in terms of power usage. Problem with AMOLED is that supply is tight and Samsung is the

Major

manufacturer of them. Their own phones, of course, get preferential treatment where as all other manufacturers need to bid for the remaining limited supply at substantially higher premium.

Sharp and Samsung's qHD Super LCD panels are nice and all (used in Sensation), but when they come to power consumption, they are HORRIBLE (and qHD resolution make them even worse).
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Ok cool thanks bro... If I can get 12 hours I'm golden.. I got all of sense updating every five minutes... Yeh I use that tweak on those Roms but on pyramid3d don't got it, need the hack..

[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Anyone care to verify this...

WIFI seems to NOT make connections while the screen if off. Connects immediately when screen is turned on. I'm assuming this is due to one of the parameters in the sleep profile.

Edit: Before anyone asks, yes my wifi setting is set to never sleep. WIFI maintains a connection without any disconnects while the screen is off, it's just that it won't make that initial connection in sleep mode.

Hi

I just flashed v0.2.4, and my phone is stuck in infinite bootloop.

I tried with FT Kernel before 0.2.4 but bootloop too :(

[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
Weird i flashed it exactly the way you did. No problems. First time kernel then the kernel itself. First impressions very fast. Now just have to thoroughly test battery life. Will report back.

Btw, faux or anyone knowledgeable, is the recommended settings to bypass in OC Daemon and then set it to intellidemand governor?

Oh crap what did i just flash then? Lol. Seems like the file name and size is the same as the one i got so im assuming i downloaded after you fixed the links. It works fine so fingers crossed.

EDIT: actually MD5 is different. wtf? lol
[HTC Sensation] lemassykoi:
mmm I'm sorry, but still bootloop

I'm on bulletproof 1.4, I checked the MD5 which is good : 2aa51973d41677c5a0de55413a2401e7 (for new uploaded version) I wiped cache and dalvik cache before flashing, and I'm trying to install the 1.78 GHz... :confused:

[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I found an interesting bug with 1.78 version... hm... I stepped down to 1.73 and it's working... I will release the 1.73 version instead :p

Note: Don't worry about the performance. I tweaked L2 Cache Setting for 1.73 version to make up for the slightly lower CPU speed. LOL it may even be faster than the older 1.78 version!

If you downloaded it 1 hour ago, you should have downloaded the "wrong version"

don't know why both don't work for me as the "wrong" is ok for you...

Fixed the Extreme Edition: OP updated with new 1.73 GHz version!

Now Extreme edition will share the same benefit of L2 Sync cache up to 1.566 GHz and should be STABLE for most everyone.

Here's a quickie bench with Antutu: 6460

PS: I am not into super extreme OC... OC frequencies much higher than L2 Cache speed will suffer diminishing returns and battery life...
