If you let me answer this time yes, if you set it to 1.7 max. freq it should work at that freq as max. :)

Some pages before there's a point where faux explained how to tweak intellidemand to put it between your wanted limits, allowing you to change the "low" freq, the "max" freq and the "min" freq that it jumps to ;) (Sorry can't give link, at job right now xD)

Good luck here :)

EDIT: Boss out now, found the link :)

Too early to tell, and changelog makes no reference to Bluetooth, but I think performance has changed. Takes longer to sign on and seems noisier.

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
That is perfect, exactly what I needed to get to my liking !!

Already hit the thanx button, but thanx again for the info !! :D

I have SetCPU 2.24, will look if there's a newer...

JP.

EDIT : SetCPU 2.3.0 does the trick ;)
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Glad to help :) That thick worked nice for me but I used to have some random reboots (after a lot of work with faux we realised my cpu doesn't like switching it's frequencies that much... blame HTC, my Sensy was a present from them so can't complain actually :P ). I had to switch back to ondemand but hey, it's still the best kernel I've tested so far, and I've been switching between bricked - faux - seb every 3 days just to test :P

Hope it works great for you ;)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Thanx, so far not a single random reboot in the ~10 days I have my XE !! ;) And I started testing Bricked running at 1.83GHz max on badass governor, so I'm quite happy with my h/w so far :D

Haven't gotten to seb's yet, as I at least stick to a kernel for a week or so to get a good feeling for it.

So far faux 006b5 is working best so far ;)

JP.
[HTC Sensation] mehr1369:
which faux version is the best on performance and in battery ?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
For me every new release gets better. Im currently on 006b5 and i feel it smoother than 005u.

Try the v005u, its the latest official version, and if you feel like you are in the mood for beta testing flash 006b5. No one knows better than you and your phone.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
faux could you make a single core version with mpdecision like stock ??

would be really nice .... all your tweaks and mpdecision !

thanks

Is it ok just to have system tuner installed without doing any changes? Or does it change things just by itself?

[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I think it's ok. Sometimes i reinstall it just to see the intellidemand harmony :D, but isn't necessary. You can keep it if you want, though.

Faux is there a way u could increase the overall sound because I could hardly hear my conversations from the earpiece plus when I play music with my beats headphone their not even loud on the max setting
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
006b5 has been called Release Candidate by faux on twitter so I think he can flash this one directly :)
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
As joaqyn said my procedure is unistalling System Tuner (previously disable any Boot option, then install kernel and reinstall system tuner to make sure everything it's set as it is suposed, but you shouldn't do anything else than monitoring with it ;)

Ofc you can also tweak it a bit as said by me (actually I linked a post from faux) teaching how to change frequencies on intellidemand if you want :)

Your choice up to this ;)

Its by default.

I have a question i undervolted but it doesnt seem it can go any lower that 800mv
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Here you have the last changelog and link to faux's latest beta, btw he mentioned it should be final version on his twitter ;)

Flashed and for now no big issue, will let you know! Let's enjoy!

PS: Btw I'm posting this here as faux stopped linking to XDA his betas, if you faux disagree with this just tell me please! Just trying to share :)

Moreover I encourage you all to follow faux on twitter to be the first to get the links and changelogs ;) @faux123
[HTC Sensation] kayroccs:
faux an your next release increase the volume on the system cause its really compare to other phones... the earpiece suck i could barely hear convos...just asking thanks.
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Try asking him about this on twitter ;) but let me say volume it's great here :S

Calling or playing or with my beats crushing hardcore! Luck on that mate :)
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
The volume control is done in the userspace not in kernel. Try to get a different earpiece. Some cheap earpiece have the incorrect impedance which will cause low or distorted volumes.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Or use volume+ (http://androidaudiohacks.com/)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
WOW !

Hi,

Ok, I've been on faux for almost 36h now, and I wanted to report back my impressions...

... and I must say, what a great work faux has done, I'm

utterly impressed

!!

I'm running "almost" stock 006b5, just using SetCPU (latest) to tweak max. frq. to 1.73GHz and added a Battery under 20% profile where I set max frq. at 1GHz (done as explained by faux).

I've been out today leaving at around 6:20, and been travelling (so cell-switches), bluetooth connected much of the time, though light use, and arriving back at home at around 19:00 I still had 65% juice left !!

And no compromise whatsoever to speed, my Sensation is sensationnally swift !!

One word : WOW !

On Bricked I'd have been at around 15-20% now...

I'm stunned !!

So downloading beta 6 and sticking to it for a little longer I think :D

JP.

I don't know your rom, whether there is anything special with it. I am using ARHD myself, with S-ON and I am just doing the following: Install 4EXT Recovery Touch instead of CWM and enable smartflash in tools of 4EXT (in the recovery menu) and you can just flash it from sdcard. Wipe cache + dalvik before flashing. Works like a charm.
[HTC Sensation] kayroccs:
i mean from the phone itself not a headphone. the speaker on the phone is low and i could barely hear ppl on my phone calls

If coming from bricked, and im on latest insert coin...do I need to flash reset kernel? if so i only see sense 3.0 and sense 3.5 reset kernels.....or by flashing the latest faux kernel it renames/deletes what it needs to?
[HTC Sensation] marcusgolden:
Setup Suggestions?

What settings/setup are recommended with SetCPU? Or should I just leave the kernel as it is after the flash? I basically use my phone for light phone and messaging use, with some web searching mainly on WIFI.

Just looking for some suggestions to make the phone as efficient as possible. I'm not all the concern about battery (it's important though), because I don't use my phone a lot anyways.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Luigiesin:
It is recommended to leave the kernel do its thing without any CPU apps.

I do have installed SetCPU to set my max freq at 1.4Ghz and governor to intellimand.... But it's not necessarily ;)

You have yourself an answer in your question ace.
[HTC Sensation] marcusgolden:
I would also like to know this.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
it renames the relevant files automatically.

however if changing from faux to another kernel you will need to rename mpdecision_dis and thermald_dis back to normal. think bricked does this automatically upon flashing.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Just wipe cache + dalvik and flash the kernel.
[HTC Sensation] pifa_k1:
It is stock battery and the temp shown in elixir and other related app is 10-15 °C . I'm using ARHD 6.6.3 XE and after reflash faux kernel is the same :)

By testing Bricked kernel for about 1 month I will now test the latest Faux. I've read many positive messages about this kernel.:D Thanks for your hard work Faux.

[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Cool got on just to see if there was an update to this kernel ... Thanks faux.
[HTC Sensation] :
great job man, keep it up.

thank you very much :)
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
Reported battery temp is wrong for me as well. It is about 10-15 deg. celsius lower than it should. For example, now it says battery is at 11 deg. when in the house there are 21. and have used the phone for about a quarter of an hour... Impossible.

Reported this since latest 005. Maybe Faux can have a look why.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I'd like to try this kernel out just to compare with bricked, but I'm still confused about the flashing over bricked, or bricked over faux.

What are the "normal" file names and why does faux kernel rename them?

Can anybody confirm that bricked renames things automatically?

Do I need to even worry about it or like the 2nd poster said is it just a matter of wiping cache and dalvik?
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Firstly you never need to wipe the dalvik cache and cache when flashing a kernel. kernel files do not rely on/touch anything in the dalvik cache.

Secondly faux's kernel renames these files because they are HTC's dual core solution which faux has taken it upon himself to reinvent. so it is necassary to disable these files so faux's own solution can take effect.

And yes, I have just checked and can confirm flashing bricked over faux's kernel renames the files back, so if you are only switching between these two kernels you need not worry.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

As joaquinf says.

But make a nandroid backup,just in case.

Then wipe cache and dalvik,

flash like a ROM.

:)
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Take a look at showp's post if you don't believe me want to see it for yourself.

It is just an old-school fashioned habit and there is nothing wrong in doing it. i always do it/recommend it as a precautionary measure :p but you are right, you can just flash the kernel without wiping anything.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Yes of course there is nothing wrong with doing it :) I understand it is an old habit for many people on xda.

It just unnecessarily wastes a whole lot of time. The dalvik cache only pertains to apk and framework files, so only needs to be wiped when changing either of the two. even then it doesn't really need to be wiped anymore as ICS detects changes in the dalvik cache on boot and re generates individual entries if need be.
[HTC Sensation] :
Faux, thank you for another great update. I just have one question that may be stupid but I will ask anyway. Your post said the kernel overclocks to 1.7Ghz but when I check hardware settings it shows 1.5. Is it just naming or should I do something to clock it to 1.7?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
This is just a plain text line in the kernel code, it could be 3 GHz quad-core or 166 MHz pentium I. It has nothing to do with the real speed of the CPU. Use system tuner or SetCPU to control your clock speed

EDIT: check out this post for a techy enxplanation
[HTC Sensation] :
Thanks. That's kind of what I thought, just wanted to make sure.
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
Your v006u roxx on Coindroid 1.5.2 with the new GL. Totaly different from the 006b3 I tried on Ordroid 3.0.2 that was lagy and drained my battery. Now the battery life awesome and I finally got a battery temp acceptable at 18°.

I LOVE IT!
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Do understand there's no way for battery temperatures to be less than ambient. So assuming it's warmer than 64'f in your pocket, there's no way those temperatures are accurate. Either way, if you are using an aftermarket battery with no support for temperature monitoring, that's fine.
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
So tell me why is Android showing 16.1°c here that before using this kernel it showed 38/40°c in the same OS with the stock battery.

Here the proof.
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
Because the reported battery temperature is wrong with this kernel.

[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Hi! You need to disable the HTC Sense screenshot feature it in /system/ build.prop, look for this:

# Properties for supporting framework features
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = true

And change it to:

# Properties for supporting framework features
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = false

Save the changes and reboot.

Instead you can use the built in ICS screenshot feature: (vol down + power button) hold both for aprox 2 secs.

100% working. Timing is the key

Hi faux! I read in ARHD thread that flashing your kernel as a standalone file replace the init.post_boot.sh file with mike's tweaks. Is there any possibility to make this a little more compatible so we don't have to modify the .zip file?

Thank you very much.

BTW great job you've done in 006 version, so far the best version performance-battery wise till now. Keep up the good work
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hi joaquinf,

I do see a difference between CPU temp and battery temp ... if battery temp is not reported correctly, I suppose it would be a good idea to try to fix it ;)

Example, if you OC a CPU and use it long time at high frq, the CPU will get hot. Maybe the battery will get hot as well because of the higher drain.

But the battery could also get hot because of loading, while the CPU would in this case stay cool. And if the battery gets too hot, it's a sign of a problem with the battery or the loading/unloading of it.

So I think both infos may be usefull.

JP.

Hi guys, how I set intelidemand to default? I flashed kernel and if I launch SetCPU I see ondemand, I set intellidemand, tick "on boot" and reboot and now in SetCPU under frequencies I still see ondemand but in pop-menu bottom I see intelidemand - I realy confused. Help please. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] takuhii:
Do you have any profiles setup in SetCPU? They could be implemented when you boot, or screen-off, so your governor is showing as whatever the profile implements ;)
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
nono, no any profile. I use SetCPU only for a confirmation about governor and freqencies.. I dont have any problem yet.
[HTC Sensation] takuhii:
Which ROM is it? Maybe the ROM chef insists on a certain governor for there ROM or something weird like that :/
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
ARHD 6.6.4. in my signature, ondemand will be set default. I trying set intelidemand and many restarted my phone, now I see intelidemand under freqencies and still in pop-up menu, but if I reboot phone I have set ondemand under freqencies and intelidemand in pop-up menu :confused:
[HTC Sensation] resadent:
Something is wrong with intellidemand. When I turn it on, Nenamark2 gives me just 43 fps, while with interactive governor I get around 52 fps. Just read in the thread that while gaming the CPU it's always at 1.51GHz, so I cannot understand that :S Other than that, had no problems at all with this kernel. Thanks faux.
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
As faux said many times intellidemand is not suposed to be used in benchmark as it will give random results, it's a battery governor nor a performance one ;)
[HTC Sensation] eterno13:
Great kernel..this is the only kernel with no lag after you tube hd video on sense 4 thanks faux..
[HTC Sensation] :
Check your startup scripts. You may very well have a script that is setting your governor.
[HTC Sensation] resadent:
Ok, when I play a videogame I'll use interactive then. As I saw it was at full when playing a videogame, I thought there was something wrong with the kernel or the governor.

Anyway other question: is it better to choose cfq or deadline as I/O scheduler? In the OP page it says this kernel has BFQ, but at least mine doesn't or nofrills doesn't show it to me. Any advice?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I'ts better to choose ondemand governor when playing games
[HTC Sensation] resadent:
Maybe in some way, but I've experienced more performance with interactive than with ondemand !

Mine has had some graphics glitches with v10 also. I rebooted and they went away, for now. I also have random screen freezes with the screen black and the soft keys lit. I also notice large benchmark drops. (Linpack went from 80-90 down to 30, cf bench from 6900 down to 4800) A reboot fixes things for some time. 1.5Ghz.

[HTC Sensation] umd:
It's not about handeling. These glitches were happening first time of this phone and later updates solved this. Looks like we have it back somehow.
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
I had this 5 times with faux 0.0.6 - 0.0.9

0.1.0 not until now...

It happens to me always if phone is a long time at charger (overnight), battery already 100%. power button does not react, 4 android buttons are high lighted but screen will not turn on.

Phone is still alive, adb commands are working, but you can only pull battery or adb reboot.

So it´s the powerbutton or/and the screen i suppose.

Adendum: If black screen happens, there was always usb debuging active. in 0.1.0 i disabled it for testing if it depends... (hint?)

[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
i dont know why im not receiving any help, but i am having a weird problem that just gets me nuts, and which i wrote in here already.

So as for now, i have been following this kernel since 0.0.6 but seriously, i dont get the performance out of this as everyone gets. im Reading here on cf bench scores about 7900 on 1.78ghz and 4000 on quadrant but all what i get is 2000 max on quadrant and 5300 on cf bench an laughable 22fps on nenamark 2.

I am on InsertCoin 2.4 and currently using baadnewz' v2 version of this new 0.1 faux kernel. using stock kernel i am getting higher scores then faux's kernel but i have those graphic glitches! I dont understand why my stupid phone wont do that what it does like on yours too.

i reinstalled already the rom doing ful wipe and everything but this just wont get better. Bad benches whenever i do one.

Now people could say "dude stay cool as long as ur phone runs normally and stays stable, dont care about benchis, everything is fine!" but hey thats not what i bought this phone for :(

dunno if anyone could understand me but this is really just annoying :(

does anyone may can help me out or just tell me why my phone dont wont to speed up same as with u guys? would be really cool if anyone can point me out a tip...
