There has been no change in charge since ages, I have just added 2 reporting variables, that say at which state the phone is.

You would need to dig into that, try using BatteryMonitorWidget to record the history of your battery.

The check also at what rate (mA/h) the phone is being charged (available in BMW).

What is your phone connected to, USB od AC ?

What have you chosen in Aroma ? Fast charge always or softforce ?

Now running 2.2 on viper s1.1.0 and just 1 word... Excellent! Really smooth and I don't know If its an error in the battery icon, but my battery life is just better and better.... I have to say that I'm not using Zram, I want to know if I can use Zram and hardswap mod at the same time? Can cause problems with the performance of the device? Thanks in advance....

Thanks to faux123 and Yank555 for this EXCELLENT EXCELLENT WORK!!! THE ART OF CODING/HACKING :P
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
Weird, but I flash 2.2 back (over 1.81) with same setting, only different is CPU max=1188 (before that I have 1.51) and now seems be everthing ok - no reboot
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
If you use hardswap, activating zram makes little sense...

Have a look at my FAQ (it's in a SGS3 thread, but most infos applies to the Sensation as well) :

This one is definitely not with kernel. I get the issue once in a while. Usually gets resolved by itself after some time. Clearing the data from weather app/widget should help.

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:

Wipe your phone and start fresh. There is something wrong with your rom.

[HTC Sensation] remus82:
Hi Yank thanks for your 'aromatic' kernel! May I ask a question: if I want to have my gpu overclocked to 320mhz in your 2.2 kernel is it just about changing the value in the init.d script? Or must I download and reflash your other aroma kernel. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
If you want to overclock the GPU to 320MHz, use faux's version, if you want to use 300MHz use my version.

The kernel needs to support that value, and only one is available to change. We could have a kernel with all options, but that would be a bad idea, since the would make GPU frq. scaling worse (you would lose one step and there are only 5 in total !).

Kernels are the same, that is the real only difference ;)

To be more precise, in faux's kernel you have these steps :

320000000

266667000

200000000

160000000

27000000

In my version you have these steps :

300000000

266667000

200000000

160000000

27000000

[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
So guys, i need your help!

I'm running right now MIUI (i know, many people hate MIUI. Who knows why exactly, i love it!).

The thing is, i unsecured the boot.img on it so now i can flash custom kernel. I tried SebastianFM one but it's not my taste (no pun intended), but i alwas been a fan of Faux work.

The thing is, if i flash your version, Yankee, nothing i set up in Aroma is "working". Related for the lack of support of init.d i gues..

Now i'm wondering, if i take the stock faux kernel, can i modify it easily to set my own preferences ?

It's too much OC for me. I really would enjoy something like 192-1.5Ghz with stock or 300Mhz for GPU on OnDemand governor.

Anyone can help me ? Is it worth the work ?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
You can using a tool like SetCPU or System Tuner.

Or you can try to get init.d working ;)

JP.
[HTC Sensation] MrBeOTP2:
Just install BatteryMonitorWidget ... will try it out :(

On some ROMs all you need to do is create the folder, but it's not always enough, though.

Best to ask this in the ROM thread...

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
Do these times look right for a phone that spends a lot of time on standby?

I have also noticed that when a core goes off line, the program seems to reset the times it has spent online. So after a long idle where core 1 is offline its counter for 384mhz will start from zero. Is this normal application behavior?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Those look perfectly fine. Times should only restart from 0 on reboot I suppose, never looked at them long enough to noti e such a behaviour...

This what I have on my SGS3 (it's not the same device, but you get an idea comparing) :

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
Yea, its strange because its keeps the offline timer, but restarts the online timers.

I find it interesting that on your SGS3 all the cores turn on and off together and the times are similar.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
It's a different device... and it's not always like this, you often see 1st core work more than the 3 others.

I want to retract a statement I made earlier:

I stated that "inactive max should be the same as active max" I was in error. User juancubo has made me review my own code and made me realize that I made a mistake.

The proper setting for intellidemand should follow this general guideline:

2 phase < inactive max < active_max == scaling max

Thanks again to juancubo!
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Huh

I'm confused.....I just need yank to release a aroma version to sort this out lol

I don't get it and just rely on yank (sorry)

Thanks yank your the man
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Hi! thanks for the info but i have one question, shouldnt be:

2 phase = inactive max < active_max == scaling max

This is how i've been using the kernel since day one with intellidemand in ICS and your default values

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hi guys,

I'm working on my SGS3 kernel tonight, I won't be having time for an updated Aroma that respects the definitive settings for intellidemand until sunday, I'm off abroad until then :(

But I'll do whatever is necessary to safeguard this logic in the next update ;)

2 phase < inactive max < active_max == scaling max

JP.
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Now I'm confused, I thought 2 phase was the step between inactive and active. Therefore: screen off < inactive < 2 phase < active = scaling max
[HTC Sensation] design12:

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Two_phase is the middle step between min and max. I used to set two_phase = inactive_max, but that's obviously not ideal.

Then there is active max = max cpu while using loads of GPU.

And there is inactive max = max cpu while using little GPU.

So eventually active max is what will be cpu max since intellidemand won't allow more, which is why active max is implicitely set to cpu max by Aroma.

Sunday there should be a new Aroma that addresses these frq. stuff ;)

Trrying b12 with viper s 1.1.0
[HTC Sensation] Jackos:
That's your decision to make :)

It would enforce more orderliness. Faux provides only "pure" kernels and this thread should be strictly dedicated to his work. Splitting this into two threads would result in easier maintenance and search ease-of-use. Some problems relate to AROMA only, other to the pure kernel.
[HTC Sensation] fragargon:
Hi yank, I already reflashed b12. See Sig for details. It s running from 24h.

Except one sense reboot nothing bad to report. I must admit that I blindly followed faux ' advices on CPU freq adjust. I don't see what 2 phases really means and how it interact with CPU Freq management. From the last 24 hous running it seems less aggressively scaling the freq/cpu online offline. It seems smoother however 918mhz is a little bit low as I m playing with some google/social apps (no games) thus gpu is not stressed... about 3-5 sec waiting that freq raised up.

This is just a good feedback, still playing with the phone.

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
The issues have so far always been linked somehow, the previous Aroma had the correct logic with one loophole, the user could set inactive_max lower than two_phase. Will be sorted out later today if I get to it.

Plus, Aroma allows for tweaking things that other users do by scripting or using apps (SetCPU, System Tuner...), which would end up being reported in the kernel thread as well, I don't really see the difference.

B12 with viper s 1.1.0 is disaster on my phone. First reboot reached to homescreen but couldnt load the sense or practically hanged. Lagged terribly. Then pushed a restart and then it got stuck at boot screen. Reflashed b8v2 and it got to smooth cheesy performance.

I don´t know if it is rom fault or kernel fault, just want to ask if anyone else is having that problem.

I made a dirty installation (coming from ARHD 6.7.1) and installed Yank555 kernel based on Faux 12b.

Hi,

The new Aroma installer / script generator is finished. It will safeguard faux's guidelines for the various frequencies, if you chose wrong settings in Aroma, the script generator wil automatically correct the settings (couldn't be done in Aroma menu, sorry).

when im using faux8b8 im seing 192mhz in minimum and max at 1.5mhz and i switch to your latest yank555.lu kernel and choose all your default option

but when i go back to faux8b8 i noticed that in my system tuner im seing now 192mhz and 1.7mhz how did that happen but first before i intstall your yank555.lu kernel

im just seing 192mhz and 1.5mhz.will i get any problem with that?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Kernels have build in standard frq. so if you don't change them it will run on those. If you install Aroma, it will add a script in init.d (called 99z_kernel) that will change these settings at boot.

If you want to run 'stock compiled in' settings, you simply need to remove that file. And also be certain not to have any other scripts / app changing these settings.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
I see.does it only.change the max and minimum freq? What about the under voltage?
