hi faux, i am pleased to tell you that ver 0.1.2 ondemand at 1.76 ghz is working quite good on coredroid, while 0.1.0 was rebooting at the loading of sense. It is nice that the stability is improved quite a lot with the new base ...

thank you
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
If I understand FPS2D correctly it's a benchmark that measures 2D FPS. Since both the SGS2 and Sensation are limited @ 60FPS how can the Sensation be getting better scores than the SGS2. My SGS2 is running a custom rom @ stock speeds and I get avg 59FPS with stdev=4.18. With Sensation @ 1.78 I get 57FPS with stdev=7.62

The only device I've seen get more is the G2x which can get up to 118FPs (as it not FPS limited)

@B-Man2005, I understand you were very careful w/ your word selection, but it seems Faux has been sensitive due to the ENORMOUS number of whiners and complainers recently, and I cant blame him. At this point, it seems we should only report a bug, provide a log (if possile), and leave it at that (no extra bs talk). There are a lot of things going on atm, and its a lil overwhelming, so Id suggest those confused by this thread to give it a week or so. Im sure it will be clearer and more concise after this merge from HTC's new source has been fully worked out.

[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
No, you got it wrong :D

Fpse is a playstation emulator written by Schtruck. It's a port of Fpse for PC, then was ported as FpseCE for Windows CE a long time ago, then to WinMo 6.X

I have been beta testing this app since march 2009, and moderating Fpse/FpseCE forum since 2009 too, so that's an app I really know by heart, including other devices results.

Tekken 3 with NO frameskip and screen filtering gives 38 fps on my PAL version (so full speed of 50 fps) with Sensation stock ROM

Galaxy S2 overclocked can achieve about 42 or 44 fps (not really stable)

Using Faux kernel 0.1.0 at 1.7ghz, I could achieve some picks of 48 fps, minimum was 42 fps.

Note that Fpse maily uses the CPU, not the GPU, contrary to N64oid

PS: sorry, there's no free version of Fpse, you could have tried it on your GS2 to compare....

PPS: actually, beside these kind of emulators, I can't find a single app that is not "full speed" at 1.5 Ghz, except Trainz for Tegra2, that was greatly improved too using Faux Kernel
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Very cool, mistook this app for something else. I will definitely look into it as now you made me curious. Sorry about the misunderstanding :)
[HTC Sensation] raycaster3:
That's with 1.5 hrs screen on. Sitting at 43%. (1.56MHz 0.1.2 nohz on Superlite1 1.4 not using any OC app)

Seriously hats off faux! Damn! Fast and responsive, everything I use works without issue AND great battery life! Beautiful really and truly. Thanks

Haha of course as soon as I post I get a random bowl of bootloops but after battery pull etc it's back up and running just fine. I'll pull a log if it happens again just not near my computer and can't remember the terminal emulator commands.

Still EXTREMELY impressed and grateful for this kernel.

Faux123! Keep up the great job! But here is something for you to chill out!

Hello man!

Following the various posts, can't help but to tell you that you're doing a terrific job, even though I disagree with you on many things (task-killer and cpu tweaker).

You're kernel is being used by many around here and it works beautifully!

Personally I have the feeling all the tweaks you put in it are more useful that actual overclocking!

The different thermal config floating around are messing the performance results and experience one can have with any custom ROMs around. I noticed @ 1.62GHz, thermald never messes up the CPU frequency, but @ 1.78 it rapidly drops to 1.18GHz or 972Mhz depending on the actual conf!

Something I hope you can work on: providing a way to read CPU temp could be a starter, but I already asked that and you're probably very busy on other aspects I don't even grasp!

Anyway if you're about to give up, just think about this: we're ALL (devs included) more or less some geeks (noob or not) with communication skills issues.

Looking forward to your next creations.

Here you go, don't get caffeine with it, but chill out for a while: 22983078LF477471E :D

Feedback

Hi faux

Been using your kernels for sometime and thought of giving you some feedback.

Running 0.1.0 at 1.78 performance gave me benchmark numbers between 2700 and 3000, quadrant

Running 0.1.2 gave me between 2100 and 2400. Both cases using mike ARHD

I don't know what is the difference between both kernels, but 0.1.0 is definitely faster better optimised

Thanks for all your efforts and help
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Seriously doubtful! Were the heat conditions the same? Which version of 0.1.2 @ 1.56?

Did you test 0.1.2 while plugged in?
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
You can´t bench accurate a dual core cpu with a single core benchmark like quadrant. Use cf benchmark instead, 0.1.2 is definitely faster than 0.1.0!:D:D:D

Thanks a lot to faux for his wonderfull work, without him we would still oc only one core and wondering about battery drain...

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
No change in charging code since almost forever !? And your charger is correctly detected as AC, and AC part of the code is 100% stock, only USB is potentially changed, if you use fastcharge that is !

Check your cable and charger would be the next thing to look at.

I had the problem for one week, too.

O thought that must be the kernel, fastcharge etc.

But no, my Battery charges in 12h only 40%..

So I buy a New Anker Batterie with 1900 mah, and this need only 2h for full charge..

So we can say that our stock Battery died after only 1,5 years.. Very Bad..

Gesendet von meinem HTC Sensation Z710e mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC Sensation] chesterx1:
A lot of factors determine battery life; number of discharges, amount of current during discharge/charge, temperature, self-discharge, etc. Best performance is obtained by discharging to low level (approximately 10-15%) and slow recharge to full charge at low (nominal) temperature. If your phone runs hot you will shorten battery life. Limit fast charging as this increases current which increases temperature. Heat kills batteries. Also leaving in a discharged state for extended periods will shorten life.
[HTC Sensation] Onefast:
Just ordered an anker! We'll see how it goes.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I tend to agree with you with one exception, that's the fast charge bit ;)

The whole design around the battery is build to charge it at a rate of 1A/h max. (wall charger), and charge current is progressively lowered the closer you get to 100% (starting at around 85-90%).

Using fast charge won't charge any faster than that, actually using a wall charger, fast charge isn't concerned at all, no bit of code has been changed in that aspect.

Now what fast charge does, is incread the charge current when USB is detected (which would my 500mA/h), and will use AC charge rate instead (so 1A/h) at best, because the USB port will have to deliver that much. Charge current will still progressively be lowered the closer you get to 100%.

So no fast charge won't affect battery life at all ;)

For general information :

On the SGS3 you can increase AC charge current as well (up to ~2.1A/h !!), and that may very well impact battery life, but even though it's commonly used (1.2A/h generally), so far no problems are known.

But I think that has a very easy explanation, wall chargers don't deliver more than 1A/h, so setting it to whatever more won't make it charge any faster, as the wall charger can't give more than 100%, so eventually for most S3 users it's just placebo ;) (I don't use it btw for AC, only USB)

A user of my kernel has tested to highest extend (I made an unlocked kernel for him to test ANY current, it was his idea and request). That is also how we found out about the limit of ~2.1A/h, and battery charging behaviour was still perfectly fine, lowering current progressively to ~100mA/h before reaching full. Neither his phone nor his battery produced any heat. He was using a 3A/h USB charger (from an iPad I believe).

I'm only talking AC charge here, USB very well makes a rather big difference !

JP.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
But I think that increasing the usb current to 1A, it can damage the host device instead the battery...
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well, let's stirr that old story up fresh :D

A USB 2 port designed according to the standard will only provide 500mA/h current. If the client device draws too much current, thst is more than these 500mA, the port needs to to stop providing current. Btw USB 3 ports provide 900mA/h.

Now on powered usb hubs I generally get a net charge of about 700-800mA/h

while the device is on

, so far no damage to the usb ports of those hubs (or any other 'thing' I plugged it to).

Now if a port is really poorly designe it could overheat and fry.

That's what 'soft force' is all about, it will only try to draw 1A when no usb device (like a PC) is detected, so that would likely be a simple usb /wall car charger or similar.

Thanks yank you have confirmed what I believed to be true. Like my father always says "Mr (insert product name) doesn't spend x amount on R&D for you to know better" so why would your phone manufacturer give you the option to charge your phone via a wall charger (1amp) to ruin your battery?
[HTC Sensation] NightM@re:
Awsome kernel , just the best

eventhough i have a weird problem its high battery drain during phone calls .

I made a test yesterday , i called my network provider "just the answer machine" and left the call for around 20 mins and i lost only around 2 - 3 % which is fine

but after that called a friend for 5 mins and that cost me 5% of the battery which is really weird

both calls were on full bars 2G
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:

same applies as well when its less than 80% and about the choppy reading my battery stays forever on 89% and then suddenly drop :D

Yank/Faux

I have been facing some restarts lately. I made a clean install of Elegancia 2.3.1 Sense 4.1, including formating the Sd card, after having some restarts on 2.2

I am attaching a last_kmsg file that shows the restart. No sure at all what is all about, but it occurred after trying to wake up the phone using the on/off button. The Capacitive lights when on but not the screen, then it just rebooted.

The ROM is cooked with SebastianFM 1.52 so I just ran the AROMA 10b7 version, before booting the system the first time (as I always do, without problems until now). Now I am testing a higher Min freq (384) and higher screen off (594)

My info is in the Signature and the AROMA options at the time of reboot were:

min 192, max 1512, scr off 432, inactive 1080, 2nd ph 918

cfq 2048, GPU max 266

s2w: OFF, Fast charg: OFF, Hard swap: OFF, ZRAM: ON

Led mult. 1, undervolt: 0, Mem HTC default, vsync: ON

I am testing

min 384, max 1512, scr off 594, inactive 1080, 2nd ph 810

All the rest with the same options

Just to mention, that raising the min & scroff freq, have made my system much more responsive (it was expected but not in the degree I am seeing:highfive:)

Hi Faux, Hi Yank,

I have a request for both of you.

I used my phone with my car system in bluetooth and as you maybe know, Sensation don't support rSAP, so only basic bluetooth functionnalities currently worked (handsfree).

But after seeing on android-rsap.com, admin have successfully implemented "advanced" rSAP bluetooth functions.

Particularly with modem option. This one must use the module "ppp_async.ko" as explained here:

http://www.android-rsap.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=88

And this one must be "merged" with the kernel (I don't have exactly understood what is needed but it seems that this module must be previously activated in the kernel).

So do you think it's possible to add this module in your next release?

Many thanks in advance!

Um, wouldn't using any governor other than Intellidemand give core off? If that's what you want, try that and see if your battery is better. Of course you lose all of the advantages of the advanced governor.

I use the phone a lot. I can get through a day without recharging. So it's good enough for me.
