I think I also had that problem, because in the beginning, my system was very smooth and so on, but after a day it was really sluggish and scrolling did weird.. Like running dualcore at 192Mhz.

For my set-up, look at my signature. I changed kernel (for now) because I couldn't use the phone anymore.
[HTC Sensation] aaallleeennn:
I get score 2600 in quadrant standard benchmark with v10b8 and with v10b4 i got over 4000 :S what is this?
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Actually I get lower score with b8... 3600 vs over 4000
[HTC Sensation] aaallleeennn:
Me too, i manage to get max 3600 with b8, and with b4 i got over 4000
[HTC Sensation] p1t3r:
I have checked the cpu stats and it says that the cpu1 is abaut 70% of time offline. The 30% is when the screen is on. So the system is smooth like butter, no lags etc. but the battery life is much better then in b7 version.

(with yanks settings, cpu min192/ max 1,51, no UV, no zram, swap enabled, no s2w, stock LMK)

as for the benchmarks... Intelidemand gov wasnt made for it so i would sugest to change for performance gov.

cheers!
[HTC Sensation] aaallleeennn:
I got bigger score with intellidemand than with performance :D
[HTC Sensation] mo_baskets:
no probs so far with 10b8, battery life is definitely better here, system is really smooth and i got no fc, quadrant score 4106 (intellidemand gov.) - for me the best kernel for ARHD 6.8.0 XE

ARHD 6.8.0 XE - faux v10b8 kernel cpu@1,7GHz gpu@300MHz- 256MB swap-partition - DFGtweaks sensation - xda-premium
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
I don't follow scores or benchmarks, I don't play arcade games on my phone, the screen is just too small.

Well I had kernel beta 7 but it was rebooting my phone too much, especially in phone calls, I tried everything

Then I reverted to faux final 9 which was solid but bad battery and a tad slow at times.

So I decided to try 10 beta 8 and omg it is amazing, great battery and pretty quick too.

This beta 8 should be kernel 10 final unless faux has some tweaks up his sleeve

Thanks Faux and Yank
[HTC Sensation] chrisrj28:
I agree with you on all counts (ignore my signature, need to update)

I think faux may be updating to intellidemand 3.0 first, at least I hope so sometime in the near future.
[HTC Sensation] Rvl7:
did 256MB swap-partition make battery life better?

i am not swap my sdcard.

anyone know best setting for best battery life without swap partition in 10b8?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Swap won't have any effect on battery life.

If you want good battery life, keep CPU clock low, that's the best you can do, and keep an eye on wakelocks (using BetterBatteryStats) so no rogue App keeps CPUs awake and suck dry your battery.

[HTC Sensation] DankoFGL:
So, that Hardswap is allocated in MicroSD external or in te 1Gb memory of our sensations? becouse i have more than one micro SD card to run, also in my tablets, i have 3 tablets, 2 of them use microsd card and i swap it very often... so it does matter?
[HTC Sensation] Iceberger:
Why don't you use search? Yank already explained it a hundreds of times.
[HTC Sensation] DankoFGL:
thanks you ice, i have used it and now i know, sorry for not come back and tell it in my last post...

i'm starting to use it and the phone notes almost the same, but with a lot apps on, like Skype with a video call (only video, no audio), music app playing, download an app, and chating with whatsapp the phone feels a lot less laggy than before, so it worked for me...
[HTC Sensation] mo_baskets:
I just wanted to say that 10b8 runs really great and that there are no benchmark drops on my phone.

Since i've the swap-partition enabled there are no sense crashs anymore with stock htc lmk settings and there are 90-120 mb ram free, so also ram intensive apps don't trouble.

here are my settings for daily use:

cpu min 384 (so no stuttering, when waking up the phone)

cpu max 1.51 (XE standard)

max single freq 1.02GHz (so no stuttering, when waking up the phone)

uv -25mv

swap enabled

all the other settings i left the checked one

[HTC Sensation] chesterx1:
I got score of 8212 with Antutu. Pretty dam good.
[HTC Sensation] DankoFGL:
i got 9220 with this kernel...

Daily use specs:

Cpu min: 192Mhz

Max single freq: 702Mhz

uv-100

Very good for me, and getting like 17 hours of battery life, not as much that i have with Briked (15 hours and still on 75%) but great for daily...
[HTC Sensation] mo_baskets:
9362 antutu score is really good, the kernel performs quite well! I get mostly 16-18hrs a day battery life with 30-40% left with moderate use.

384-1511Mhz, intellidemand, no uv, no gpu oc, lastest beta. On gaming the cpu temp goes up to 67°C. Should the phone become that hot?
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Been awhile since I've done anything with my wife's sensation. I had blitz 3.6 with your 007u kernel and it started having random restarts and lagged a bit so I finally read through the thread and installed 10b8. It's like a new phone, working great. I have it set on 192-1511 intellidemand, and undervolted -87.5mv. Zram off and left lmk swings alone. So far, no sense restarts either(something that isn't an issue with the amaze).

The CPU and gpu speed are just set to default sensation xe speeds.

What can be wrong? Also battery seems to go fast when phone is hot.

Although the phone is very fast xD

finally using swap partition, when i want to change rom

ex: My Current rom is ARHD 6.8.0 + Faux 10b8 and want to change to ViperS v1.5.2 + Faux 10b8. usually when i want to change rom, allways do this step.

1. Wipe data

2. wipe cache + dalvik

3. Format all partition (except sdcard)

is Format all partition make delete my swap partition?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Nope. But you need to reflash the mod / kernel after flashing the new ROM to reinstall the swap activation script (and the kernel obviously for swap support).

Both partitions need to be primary, else the fat partition won't be readable in all cases.

[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
Yank, got a new sd card ordered so will finally try a hard swap partition. Does the kernel aroma installer include the hardswap mod, or does the original mod need to be flashed in conjunction with selecting hardswap from aroma?
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
Yes I have it, but still no luck. Still waiting for device

Odesláno z mého HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
The kernel flasher has the hardswap mod included, so it can be flashed directly when flashing the kernel (or even updating the kernel config).

You need only to take care to have a Linux Swap partition on your sd-card, that's all (keep both partitions primary, first FAT32 then Linux Swap).

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Rvl7:
Big thanks.. finally... one question how do i know that the swap script is working. Using terminal app?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Yes, in a terminal type :

cat /proc/swaps

The first will show swap usage (must be different from 0 to be working), the second will list the swap device(s).

Remove or better rename any of those 2 files:

/system/etc/thermald.conf

/system/bin/thermald

Beware though, CPU has no protection, so overheat will cause definitive freeze or reboot!

Did it with ARHD 3.0.4 and 1.56 Kernel, was ok... But with my phone going above 1.62 usually kills it no matter what I do with the thermals!

I also tried with Performance governor for benching... but all in all without looking at the bench, my phone's flying! Looks almost as fast as a stock SGS2 now!

App to monitor both CPU frequency

If interested I've attached a beta APK on the following post to monitor both CPUs frequency...
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
@ Faux123:

trying the test kernel you've sent me.

I was previously using your 0.1.0 kernel at 1.7ghz, so I also need to flash the 0.1.2 at 1.5ghz to do a fair comparison at 1.5ghz

All I can say for now is that your test version is under 0.1.0 at 1.7ghz (visible in terms of fps rendered at Fpse, also trying a slow game on N64oid, Trainz for Tegra 2, they are all a little slower, and Asphalt 6 where the difference is not really visible since it's already full speed easily)

So far no bug occured. I reboot once more, do a few tests more, then flash 0.1.2 at 1.5 ghz to compare

EDIT: I've flashed 0.1.2 at 1.5ghz then rebooted, then ran the same games as I had run with your test version.

There's not a big difference, I try to avoid the "Placebo effect" but maybe the test version was just a little better at least for fpse, maybe an average of 2fps more. Of course all of my Gameloft games run perfectly at 1.5ghz and even under. So far GPU is under 0.1.0 at 1.7ghz for me with your test version, that's for sure, and maybe just a very little slightly over the 0.1.2 at 1.5ghz
[HTC Sensation] goksar:
i have also this problem...using the 1.56 kernel...don't had any issues with 0.1 :(
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
The new GPU code was optimized heavily by HTC/Qualcomm. As I stated before, with 2.3.3 it used to run @ a fixed frequency regardless of "performance demands" from the game apps. So it was fairly straight forward to tweak and overclock.

In 2.3.4, now they've gone to a scalable frequency based on "performance demands" of the 3D apps. So with low performance demands, the GPU will run @ a lower clock rate with lower bandwidth requirements. With stock 2.3.4 code, the Max clock was set @ 266 MHz (same as 2.3.3) and Max bus bandwidth was set @ 2.4 GHz. In the test kernel, I've added a new turbo boost category with Max clock set to turbo mode @ 320 MHz and I also upped the bus bandwidth to 2.78 GHz. The problem with scalable GPU is that we don't have visibility to the GPU load while the 3D app is running, so we don't know how often the 3D app entered my turbo boost mode.

That's why I am asking for users who are "sensitive" to 3D performance differences. I must have run quadrant tens of times (only the 2D/3D portion, I have advanced version so I pick those 2, quadrant 2D/3D tests are still relevant even though it is quite dated for CPU and I/O performance testing) and I feel it is a bit faster than stock but I can't really be sure since I am not a 3D phone gamer.

Anyways, please continue to test and give feedback. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Thanks, this is quite a handy app. Nice to have it see both CPU loads now :)

EDIT: It seems to jump back and forth between showing CPU1 and not. Most of the time it doesnt
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Same Quadrant use for me, I don't have the pro version, but only look at the 2d/3d scenes, most of the time I don't even sent results to get the score.

I'll do some more tests, switching from 0.1.2 to the test version, and also compare to stock at 1.2ghz, etc, I have much games to try more. So far I feel too that it's slightly faster, not much, but a little

PS: the only kernel that could beat your test version is.....one of your previous kernel for 2.3.3 so.....!

And as for Quadrant 3d scenes, I'm thinking about something: the scene with a planet and a "moon" flying around, it is 60 fps with your last kernel. It was strangely less stable and slower, with 0.1.0 when other scenes were faster.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Only way I see to validate it's a kernel problem would be to :

- Nandroid (so you can get back to where you are !)

- Wipe all (data, system, cache)

- flash clean ROM

- test a phone call

If that didn't work, it's either a ROM or a hardware issue (I'd test another as close to stock as possible ROM to validate the hardware)

If the phone call worked :

- flash kernel

- test another phone call

If that worked, then it's a ROM / app issue in your current installation.

If not, it's most likely a kernel issue

Hi axetilen,

thanks for your answer :)

No offense, but this values are sense defaults if i am not wrong.

This is set with the 99z_kernel init.d script (choosen the default values in the aroma installer):

# - Set Android Low Memory Killer (in number of pages of 4Kbytes)

# Forground apps : 4252 pages / 16.61Mb

# Visible apps : 5416 pages / 21.15Mb

# Secondary server : 6580 pages / 25.70Mb

# Hidden apps : 7946 pages / 31.04Mb

# Content providers : 13664 pages / 53.38Mb

# Emtpy apps : 16854 pages / 65.84Mb

chmod 664 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

echo "4252,5416,6580,7946,13664,16854" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

And is the kernel panic really caused by low memory? There are no low memory warnings at the log shortly before the panic and my swap file is always not much used (~120MB of 512) :(

But i will try your suggestions :) Thanks!
