Same here Lee 3.0 and testing faux 1.3 1.78GHz (G!;))!

Can't run @ 1.78, reboots! So running @ 1.65GHz, then I get higher perf using lee's 3.1 kernel @ 1.78GHz! Hope Lee will be able to include

Faux 1.3 @ 1.65

CF-Bench = 6796

Antutu = 5284

Lee 3.1 @ 1.78

CF-Bench = 6391 @ 1.72GHz

Antutu = 5832
[HTC Sensation] RayHeath:
Flashed the 0.1.3-OnDemand-N-1.78GHz, and no problems what so ever on my CoreDroid V2.5rc2. Thanks Faux! :)
[HTC Sensation] korand:
For me version 1.0.2 (both NoHz/JRCU, 1.56 GHz Sync L2) is more smooth and fast than 1.0.3. IN 1.0.3 sense animations goes with small freezes. I'm using stock odexed rom.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Faux123, after having flashed a fresh Android Revolution 3.1.0, I have kept on trying your different v0.1.3 kernels, and also compared to my favorite one: v0.1.0

I know I'm using a similar trick as you: looking at the 2D/3D scenes of Quadrant, you may come to the same conclusion as me (well, with my poor knowledge, it's just a gamer's opinion here):

-v0.1.3 seems to give more CPU "raw calculating power"

-v0.1.0 seems to give an overall faster 3D rendering

The 2D/3D scenes of Quadrant are visibly faster with 0.1.0 than 0.1.3, a constant 60fps for the "planet scenery", hitting 60fps ans stable 40+ at the end for the scene in the corridors, etc, it can't be achieved by 0.1.3

But if you compute the final score, it is in favour of 0.1.3, despite it was rendering 2D/3D slower, so I guess the only CPU core used by quadrants is more performant for all the other operations, calculating faster.

As for Fpse and N64oid, both are faster with 0.1.0, and 0.1.3 is faster than 0.1.2

The difference is less visible with Fpse since it mainly uses raw CPU power and not really the GPU, so again I would say 0.1.3 is faster for "pure" calculating, but slower for openGL 3D rendering than 0.1.0

At CF-bench, results are almost the same using 0.1.3 or 0.1.0, maybe a little more similar to each others when you runs several bench in a raw for 0.1.3, seems more stable.

Now, I wonder what kernel I will keep so far for my daily use ^^ As long as I didn't have any screen tearing with 0.1.0, I really don't know :D
[HTC Sensation] Alfhea:
Running 1.3 J Very smooth and seems to be a lil faster then 1.2
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
try flashing stock kernel and then 010
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
For me I get better performance with .1.2 and also .1.3 was running a lil warmer than normal all afternoon yesterday compared to its predecessor. So I'm back to .1.2

Sent by my feau gee
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Yeah, 010 will give more consistent gl scores because its gpu clock is constant and locked to a specific frequency. 013 uses scalable frequencies, and as with any scalable design there is additional latency introduced during frequency switch, so the gl scores would be less consistent. The positive thing about 013 is the additional battery saving from using scalable frequencies. Thanks again for the detailed feedback. Posts like this is what i like to see. :D
[HTC Sensation] affliction_emrah:
Flashed stock kernel. Booted w/o problem.

Wiped cache and dalvik and flashed 0.1.0

bootloop.

Suggestion?
[HTC Sensation] Lozone:
Nevermind.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
0.1.0 was based on 2.3.3 kernel IIRC and so needs the ramdisk and lib fixes again. Flash mike's amended 0.0.6 first.
[HTC Sensation] affliction_emrah:
Stock then .6 then 0.1.0

or

directly 0.6 then 0.1.0

?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ttav:
that should do.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Haven't tried it but I imagine that a cache wipe and then flash 0.0.6 followed by 0.1.0 should do it. I'd also let it boot after installing .6 and the flash 0.1.0
[HTC Sensation] affliction_emrah:
Thanks guys!
[HTC Sensation] jay661972:
0.1.3 experienced random reboots 3x since yesterday. im on stock rooted rom.

Back to 0.1.2 for now
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
it really seems phones are different ... i see so many people saying ... boot loop after one day .. or so ...

for me there never was any problem with faux kernel ...

maybe he should make low level optimized kernels :)
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Gee, how many are experiencing random reboots? Unbelievable, what are you installing to get that unstable?

I almost never do a full wipe (except when first boot fail), change kernels from faux123 to lee on various custom ROMs, no issues!

One thing I do that might help: First use with new custom ROM/OC kernel, run benchmarks app to find the highest OC my phone supports!

Turns out I'm usually good up-to 1.62Ghz! 1.78 almost always reboots my phone in benchmark apps!

That's why I keep saying a CPU/OC app is required, no matter what the devs say! Until we get full UV controls!

If you're using 1.56 kernel versions, then I don't know, must be something you do/install/restore after flashing!?
[HTC Sensation] ttav:
I`ve never had a random reboot using faux kernels...Lee`s a different story:(

Off topic....any closer to the update for System Timer Pro?

Update is ready, making final code review before uploading!
[HTC Sensation] apeiron6:
I have used 0.1.2 and 0.1.3 kernels on Insert Coin (only) rom (base 2.3.4) and never had any issues. My phone flies as never before. Benchmarks are similar. Thanks Faux and Baadnewz for your great work.
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Sorry to bounce of topic for a second but, why would anyone use the stock odexed ROM when there are so many other, better-performing options available?
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
On topic: running 1.78 GHz NoHz (0.1.3} in combination with Melvin's Beast ROM without any problems at all. Fast, stable, and good battery life.

[HTC Sensation] Nightfall983:
Because some people (like me) don't Luke the themes, or non U.S based roms.

Personally I noticed little differences between U.S and European versions. For example, on the U.S version you can set up a pattern lock, but set it to never lock (in security settings). This is good because I can disable the pattern unlock when I get home without having to remove it completely. When I re-enable it, I don't have to re-draw the pattern.

In terms of themes, I love the look of the stock rom, and can't stand some of the themes on custom roms especially the blue themed roms.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Great news! Thanks for this, will allow me to implement the UV UI for my app now!

Do you know if it's possible to get a reading of CPU temp included in this upcoming version? That would be awesome!
[HTC Sensation] jabbermacy:
Not 100% sure but I think nolock does this, plus is has a widget to disable/enable

No issues on 0.1.2 1.56GHz NoHz for 48 hours. Upgraded to 0.1.3 1.56GHz NoHz on ARHD 3.0.3 and the unit would randomly shut down. Needed to do a battery pull to get it back on. Back to 0.1.2 for the time being.
[HTC Sensation] OrionBG:
Hello

I'm monitoring the battery usage with a program called "Battery Monitor" and the mA usage is around 140mA when in idle! The same usage of the HTC Desire HD is around 6mA!!! So I was going to ask is there some problem with the sleep modes of this excuse of a Dualcore CPU, but then i saw this:

"KGSL Patch: Fixed Sleep Issue (Bug fix to actually allow GPU to go to sleep when it is idling)"

in the Change Log for the upcoming 0.1.3 kernel. So this fix should allow the power consumption to go to normal sleep levels?

And BTW Do HTC have some exclusivity contract with Qualcomm? It seams that there CPUs are worse than anything on the market right now! Yes good on paper but in reality ....

BTW2 :) Is the Stock unmodified kernel from HTC able to make the CPU sleep?
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Note there is many bugs on the Sensation, one of them is that the kernel reports erroneous mA during standby! So you need to get the last update of Battery Monitor Widget and enable 'mA corrections' in the monitoring settings. This will show you real drain then!

The 0.1.3 kernel is supposed to be better with battery drain too.

Internet Pass Through & Wireless

Spoke too soon - new update:-

All along using up to ARHD 3.0.1, both Internet Pass through and Wireless were working; Radio is 10.43a.9007.00u-10.51.9007.27-m3.

Summary : -

A) ARHD 3.0.1 = internet pass through & wireless > both working

B) ARHD 3.0.4 = internet pass through not working, but wireless working.

C) ARHD 3.0.4 + Faux v0.1.0 = internet pass through not working, but wireless working.

D) ARHD 3.0.4 + Faux v0.1.2 = wireless Not working, but internet pass through working.

E) ARHD 3.1.0 = wireless Not working, but internet pass through working.

F) ARHD 3.1.0 + Faux v0.1.3 = wireless Not working, but internet pass through working.

After switching to radio 10.56.9035.00u_10.14.9035.01_m, results same as above for items A, E and F. items C and D not tested.

I am back to ARHD 3.0.1 as I need the 2 features on connectivity. Hopefully later releases fix these issues. :)
[HTC Sensation] Nightfall983:
I'm on stock odexed USA 2.3.4 using Version 0.1.2 of Joe's 1.56 kernel, and no problems so far. Was going to try 1.78 but I see it has been pulled from OP (why!?!)

I tried NoHz and it made my phone stutter... Can you bring back Joe's 1.78 I would really love to test it.

Is it true going past 1.5 can harm your phone?
[HTC Sensation] Nightfall983:
NoHz vs Joe's RCU

I just noticed in the OP that Joe's RCU was removed based on download stats :(

I think more people download the Fast NoHz kernel, because of the word "Fast". More people probably downloaded it because they thought there was a fast version and a slow one... it's all in the wording.

Faux could you please do me a huge favor (I would really appreciate it) and PM me the 1.78 version of Joe's RCU. I'm having a great experience with the 1.56 version and would like to try the 1.78

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] J.Swalen:
Try standard ARHD 3.1.0 with Faux123 0.12 Kernel 1,56MHz. Both working, no problems, and super smooth.

Edit: use the NoHz version (=standard). Much smoother than 3.0.4 with any Kernel imo.

Really LOVE your kernels Faux, but I'm still having the same issue with the "N" versions. Any type of reboot, Quick boot, or from the Power menu leads to a "process system not responding" error message. The "J" versions did not have ANY issues on my device. Please bring back Joe's versions! Thanx!

finally a professional explanation, why overclocking makes the device slower and unstable.

thank you so much faux123
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
Thank you faux, i really appreciate it, yet somehow I keep bringing these issues that I further looked into to other forums and they were just ignored and never replied to. I appreciate at this, and because of this I will only be using your Kernels since yours are the only ones that will work properly after your done. Why have a dual core when it only runs with a single core at random frequencies.

I am also still willing to beta test any of your upcoming kernels for fixing this issue.

Im so surprised that even after copying most of me and faux's convo into other threads about all these issues with the kernels is the fact that it was just ignored. Right now our phone is crippled with any option of custom kernels yet people are still bragging how smooth and fast the phone is, yet they have no idea what it may be possible of.

This is really strange, i made the same experience: People talking 10 pages up and down their benchmarks and battery drains, lags of the ui and other symptoms. But NOT ONE is reflecting to the general problem of not propper working oc. My explaination is that most people are like chicken, they do simply not understand whats going on... a single benchmark result they understand and are able to discuss... :mad::mad::mad: ;)
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
Like I tried to make note of this in multiple threads, even over at the Evo3D section and the only person to even look into the issue and realize there is a problem was Faux123. For that I give him huge respect. He has won my loyalty to his development. I would even be willing to fight to get his recognized developer status back. This is what we need at XDA.

Yet again somehow people working with SetCPU showing that they are able to get a huge performance increase with this and doing that.

--My experience I have ran one CFbench at stock and got speeds almost close to the SGS2 and then ran it again later to get like a 7000 score. And quadrant doesn't even pick up two cores. so it only benches on 1 (though it is a **** benchmark). And linpack multi-threaded sometimes will return lower numbers then single threaded. Yet not a single person seem to give a **** about my post other than faux.

[HTC Sensation] Alfhea:
is 0.1.3 removed temporary?
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Don't know what happened, by I can understand the feeling.

Just a couple of questions on UV, is the table "standard" with every custom kernels? I mean same locations, same content format?

The table is 'resetted' at boot right, so if we mess up the value and the phone reboots, it will be start ok?

I get very stable results at 1.72GHz, so will try increasing UV @ 1.78GHz see if it's more stable.

I've heard a friend using an Atrix he was changing the UV to suit his particular phone, not the same for every phones, that is! Right?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
1. The VDD table for sensation is NEW and different from all other and older SVS implementation. The original SVS implementation was designed for a single core CPU and will NOT work with the new dual CPU design. I took the old design and updated it for dual CPU. If other kernel devs use my patch, then it would be the same for other kernels as well.

2. Yes, the table is reset @ every reboot (unless you have app to set them on boot)

3. Everyone's phone is different, some can undervolt more than others. My own setting is

echo "-75000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels

-0.075 millivolts across the board and has been rock solid. (REMEMBER NOT EVERY PHONE IS CREATED EQUAL).
[HTC Sensation] d.brown:
I know 3c is working on some to help easily change the voltage... But is it possible to get a uv script that can be flash? Don't have the knowledge to do so but I'd like to try...

Edit: and if so it will have to be flash on every boot?

Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict who've been sober for too long!!!
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
You can write a text file with the desired echo command as explained above and copy the script to /system/etc/init.d

it will run on every reboot (as long as system supports init.d scripts though). Which is the case of ARHD 3.1.0 and P3D ROMs... at least.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Yep not equal, the same setting on my phone, rebooted immediately after starting a bench @ 1.78! It usually last 30 seconds on the bench!

Definitely need a UI for that, too painful changing those manually! Going back to work now! :D

EDIT: removed useless questions.
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Above you say to "run benchmarks app to find the highest OC ... phone supports!"

What program do you mean? The three I have, AnTuTu, Quadrant, and CF, only report the frequency. They do not tell you the maximum allowed.

Perhaps you chose the wrong wording. Either way, how does one know exactly the maximum OC frequency?

Thanks,

Peter

P.S. The reason I ask is, in agreement with what you said, I can't seem to get any 1.78GHz kernel to work. I'm always getting boot loops, whereas, this isn't the case with 1.56GHz kernels.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Yes, I use benchmarks app to find the highest OC... Never said those apps were giving me the value!

Run a bench @ 1.62, if it passes, chances my phone is ok at that freq... then run a little higher, until it fails, eg reboot while benching!

I can go up to 1.72GHz ok, 1.78 is always a failure!

Now that we have UV control, I'm trying to raise UV @ 1.78 in hope to make it more stable. I doubt lowering the voltage will do, but will try.
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
What he means is set the min and max frequencies to the same value for both cores and the run benchmark

It it fails/crashes/reboots then repeat with a lower frequency, if it doesn't repeat with a higher frequency

EDIT: 3c beat me to it, ah well
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
What program to use to tweak the OC?

Thank you for such a rapid reply. (I hit the Thanks button)

What program do you use to adjust the OC? I installed CPU Master and it tells me the highest frequency is 1.566GHz. Am I correct in assuming that if I install the 1.78GHz kernel, this max will reflect this value, and I can then lower it using the slider?

Peter
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Yes that's correct. The kernel as it stands now will go to 1.56GHz when required but otherwise sit at the lower frequency. You can use the app to change this to your liking
[HTC Sensation] koshtaru:
Your correct in that assumption :)
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Your'e welcome.

I use System Tuner... Any app will provide the max frequency the installed kernel supports. No problem with that.
[HTC Sensation] ajay83:
Hi guys.....

Noob question. With this kernel and on demand.... At 1.5ghz or higher, is it BOTH cores that kick in at these speeds?

I'm on LeeDrOiD v3 & running faux123 Nohz 0.1.4 & everything is so fast & smooth! Found the joe kernel to be abit choppy.
[HTC Sensation] pimpmaneaton:
Hey faux I have a question for you and don't believe that this has been asked yet. When using system tuner and go into tweaks to change the CPU frequently, it only shows the phone as having a single core (cpu0). But on my Oxonian tab it shows cpu0 and cpu1. Is this just due to honeycomb has more support for dual core. Its not a big deal was just curious. Thanks again for this kernel. 1.4 is freaking smooth as ****.

System Tuner will show you the active cores in that screen. So if you want to see both, you need to go in active tweaks settings and force all CPU to be online!

Or run a benchmark app and go to CPU screen in System Tuner, works well too.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Hello Faux123, hope you're still around...

I've been trying to change the voltage of a single frequency, but so far no luck, did this:

echo "1188000 1062500" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels

and also tried this, just in case:

echo "1188000: 1062500" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels

But when I open the vdd_levels for viewing... nothing has changed?

Is the syntax correct? Or is there specifics values that need to be entered?

I was under the impression we could use any values by steps of 25000, right?

EDIT: Anyone tried that already? Is it working for you?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
It works... I just tried it again to make sure.

echo "1566000 1152000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels
