Can swap be turned on with the new kernel?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Not yet... my main purpose for this OPEN BETA is to get a stable release / baseline with excellent battery life first! Then I will enable my usual stuff later on in the subsequent releases including ULTIMATE editions ;)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
OK, no worries. I will just delete my little 81swap init.d script first before flashing in a minute.
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Hi Faux,

Not quite sure if it's related to your kernel and not a biggie but i'll give it a try!

I'm running ARHD 6.5.2 and I have QuickBoot installed. However whenever I click on "Reboot in Recovery" in QuickBoot the screen freezes and I need to take the battery out...

This happened with the b3 version of your kernel.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Not sure why this is happening... I use ExtendedControl Widget for "reboot to recovery" and it works every time :cool:
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
No issues w QuickBoot here.

Havent had a chance to go through the guts yet, Badnwz just mentioned to me that ARHD turns Core1 On (im assuming sometime during boot-up, he specifically mentioned init.qcom* ). I am making an assumption that the reason CPU1 is never active\ online on InsertCoin because it was never turned on in the first place, and no mpdecision to turn it on\off. Just seems very peculiar that IC would have that issue. Workin on helping as Id love to PROPERLY test ur kernel on InsertCoin.

Appreciate the help.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
2nd core is booted much later in the kernel init process... Once 2nd core is ready, it sits in Wait-For-Interrupt (WFI) loop waiting for scheduler to give it something to do. Once kernel initializations are completed, then it starts to execute the init scripts and that's when M(ake)P(oor)Decision is enabled and start making poor decisions to take out the 2nd core. No where in the kernel does it take out the 2nd core explicitly (except my latest kernel which allows PM to do so). Also users have reported that my kernel works PERFECTLY for a while, then something happened to turn off the 2nd core. If 2nd core was never enabled in the first place, it should lag even from booting...

So this points to the ROM or some add-ons from InsertCoin that mucks with the 2nd core online/offline after working for a while :eek:
[HTC Sensation] elgubbo:
http://android.gval.biz/Q5_USB_Menory_Manager.php

maybe this is a solution? if OTG ins enabled/integrated in the Kernel this little app should work no problem don't you think?

i don't have an OTG cable to try :(
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
interesting (tech) info :D thks. Ive removed ALL CPU apps except System tuner (so i can see if the core1 is online or not). From what I can tell, CPU1 is never turned online. It sits idle no matter what.

Ive gone back to a previous version of InsertCoin that DOES NOT include bricked, in hopes that theres a conflict. Will report back w/ findings.
[HTC Sensation] asesino:
Aynone running this kernel on VI 4.0.1?
[HTC Sensation] x3nophobia:
yes!!!!! thanks faux :P
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Strange, thanks! I'll check and see

if this was the case with the previous version.

Thanks for checking! Seems that I'm the only one with this problem.. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
2nd Core still won't start

Well I grabbed beta3 this morning and before flashing it on my ARHD 6.5.0, I prep'ed my System Tuner to have all boot settings disabled and switched to the ondemand governor with no changes for screen off. I also commented out the zram commands in my /etc/init.post_boot.sh script.

I then set 4ext to wipe cache/dalvik and install the zip for this kernel and rebooted to recovery to execute that.

On first boot (after the nice "upgrading app i of n...") I opened up System Tuner Pro and slid the max speed up to the 1.72 (I was coming from bricked at 1.56). I then watched the cpu screen in System Tuner and noticed that cpu1 (2nd core) would not wake. cpu0 would be pegged at max 100% as it would just after a boot, but usually such a load would kick cpu1 into gear as well. Even with AnTuTu Benchmark (v2.7.2 btw) testing the 2nd core would remain asleep.

I have not added/removed any other scripts that what I mentioned here and the rest of my phone's setup is detailed in my signature (with the exception of kernel as I'm still testing).

Any ideas @faux123? I'm working today but would be more than happy to trouble shoot as much as I can.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
It is weird that you are experiencing this issue on ARHD... because I am running ARHD 6.5.2 and have NO issues at all with 2nd core...

Most other complaints for 2nd core not active were InsertCoin Users....
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Read the last few pages, in beta3 Faux disabled mpdecision (by renaming it), which is the daemon that takes CPU1 online \ offline. I too am personally have issues getting CPU1 to ever come online using Faux Kernel, but it has something to do with InsertCoin and Faux's kernel, as he's mentioned this isnt an issue on ARHD.

Its unfortunate, but at the moment, I cant figure out a solution to this issue.

Also, if you flahs ANY other kernel, you MUST go to /system/bin and rename mpdecision_dis back to mpdecision. Otherwise, other kernels will have issues enabling CPU1 at all

Enjoy and have fun!

(Clock Ticking T minus 5 ;) )
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Many thanks! Ive been trying for HOURs over the past day to figure out how to get 2nd core working correctly without mpdecision, unfortunately without success.
[HTC Sensation] jordin1128:
Is the only change renaming "mpdecision_dis" to "mpdecision" ??
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
yeap! (10 chars)
[HTC Sensation] elmalote:
Faux, is there any way of overclock without using system tuner or other app?

Maybe creating/editing a init script?

:-)
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
sure, of course... All OC apps are doing it with scripts as well, just hidden from users and more convenient.

using terminal:

su
echo 1512000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

DONE!
[HTC Sensation] elmalote:
Thank you!

:-)
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Thanks faux, im sticking to beta 3 as 2nd core is fine on ARHD. Its solid so far, no lag what so ever.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Just an FYI, now that we have mpdecision back, CPU1 will ALWAYS jump to 1.728Ghz when its told to go to max (as thats the max clock speed for this kernel). It doesnt listen properly OC apps, and always ends up defaulting back to 1.728, even if u set max at 1.5 It will operate at 1.5 until it goes offline, and when brough back online, it defaults to 1.7.

This is normal until a true solution \ replacement to mpdecision is created. Theres no way around it besides using kernels LOCKED to 1.5ghz max clock speed (why Show-p's beta only goes to 1.5 I believe)
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
exactly ;)
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
Lol now I understand why Faux names it Make Poor decision.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
My goal for ics kernel is to get rid of both m(ake)p(oor)decision and thermald(umb) all together :)
[HTC Sensation] x3nophobia:
my phone is getting hot while playing angry bird space, atm with beta 3. now i will try beta 4 :)
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
Can't we just hack the mpdecision with something like

"come back online: max freq=same as CPU0 max freq."

Lol just an ordinary idea :rolleyes:.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
That would defeat the purpose of aSMP ;)
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
Lol damn. But, is this a bug caused by HTC or something else? Because if it is a bug, then it could be fixed.
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
does anyone have mpdecision source?
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
its closed-source from HTC
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
qcom actually iirc.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Ahh yes, correct. Qualcomm made the SoC so they made the mpdecision daemon as well. Thanks Show!

What bluetooth issues? You NEED to describe the problems... I am not omnipotent, I can't know it all... If I don't know the issue, I can't fix it...

Also I am not going to dig thru million+ posts to find the issue on another thread/post/planet...
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
OpenSensation is CM9 based, so WiFI and BT will probably be broken if you flash a SENSE kernel (see thread title). You need to wait for a CM9 compatible version,

I apologize, anywho bluetooth stack from what i understand with htc has never been fully designed to interact with all hid protocals such as with programs like sixaxis that require it for ps3 controller to function or other devices with the bluetooth HID that is not supported.

[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Flash it already? I do :D and so far so good.

I'm a lil concerned though, i dislike the fact of the second core going up to 1.7 ...
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
thats a limitation w/ this kernel and mpdecision atm. Unless Fauxc lowers the max cpu freq to 1.512 or 1.56, CPU1 will always jump to max (1.7) eventually. Damn mpdecision.
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Hey faux animation is broken on sense 4 toms, I forgot to mention it on your earlier beta kernels. Animation would usually freeze for a good min. Or sometimes its transparent and you can see another screen in the back.

[HTC Sensation] Astug:

I would say there maybe some rogue app that's causing the drain. Beta 6 is thriftier than beta 5. It seemed even the newer interactive governor still can't compete with ondemand.

if rogue app are causing battery drain, how to identify this rogue app? :?

Hey, so I have been running beta 3 for a few cycles. Both cores are running fine. The battery life is average. Not bad but not mind blowing. Otherwise, as always, the performance of the kernel is great.

Picture of use is not uploading

14 to 16 batt time on average use

edit: I am not sure that it is not my set up. I am using on demand with no screen off profile as recommended. My logs keep showing invalid gralloc error that others have reported. I think I will superwipe and flash 6.5.2 and retry beta 3 and will report back.

I understand there's always a risk to put your work out there. Ratings are for being popular with the masses.

Also, the other forum hasn't done much for me because it does not have enough activity (art least yet) for the Sensation. The sharing between you and show-p1984 brought a lot of hope to me and I still hope that these things can out shine the haters and trolls.
