I said this when u were developing gingerbread kernels....your a legend faux
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Looking for some feedback. If everything is ok, I will release it soon.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
i'll give it a go now on fresh ARHD and give you some feedback soon. is beta 7 still heating up the phone a lot?

good to see thread rating is back to 5 stars as it should be! ;)
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
can anyone tell me how USB OTG works ?

it seems like some usb hosting, i have bought a cable off ebay but is there any setting on the phone to activate after i have connected everything ?

im little confused, do all kernels have this feature built in or just legend faux ?

thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] orb3000:
Anyone tested this kernel overclocked to 2.2GHz?
[HTC Sensation] pnut22r:
Feels good. Beta 7 on ARHD is smooth, no problems
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
beta7

First off, thank you faux.

I tried out Build 7 on Virtuous Inquisition and 3D games started slightly stuttering here and there (Samurai Vengeance and Shadowgun specifically).
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
USB otg is still under development. I have enabled most necessary kernel drivers, but there are still missing some things. It may or may never work under sense, but I will continue to investigate this issue.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
This kernel does not run with 2.2 ghz ;)

It runs with 1728Mhz. And also the 2D OC is not @ 266Mhz but @ 228Mhz

I pointed him to both mistakes, so he knows.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
The 2.2 GHz was a display issue, the actual clock was determined to be only 1.72 GHz. :p
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
You and showp are excellent kernel dev. Both kernel are excellent. I can't even decide wich one i will keep :D

But i had a little probleme, after a while, with build 7, my MIUI homescreen become laggy and all the systeme a little bit. Happens to me a when you have removed mpdecision but this issue is still here for me.

Any idea where it comes from ?

Btw, thanks for all man ;)
[HTC Sensation] orb3000:
Thanks for your reply guys :)

So in your own experience which one would you recommend for Sensation running ICS RCmix?

Cheers,
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
beta 7 is fine on ARHD 6.5.3XE

no problems at all, i havent played games so not sure abot heat issue, but nice and smooth.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Try every kernel out there and choose the one you think is best for you ;)

There is no right/wrong answer to that question in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
showp please answer my question about the beats audio drivers being incorporated in the kernel
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Since beta 4, mpdecision has been re-enabled. The problem of lag was due to incompatibility with certain Roms where the ROM would turn off the 2nd core mysterious after running for a while. I highly recommend enabling mpdecision for now until I find a more permanent solution.
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
Same. No issues on beta 7 on ARHD. I was disappointed to see that Mike was going with Sebastian's kernel. I'd like to think he'll start using your kernel faux when it's out of beta. Either way i'll keep using your kernel.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
If you would have used the search function you would have seen this post and you would not have posted the same question again. (in two kernel threads)
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Okay thanks for the answer, hope this could be fixed one time :)

But yes it's really mysterious lol
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
Been testing all the betas so far and since starting testing I've been having issues with not being able to make and receive calls and with "mobile network" getting stuck on "turning on".

All these issue are intermittent, but occurring more often than not (75% of the time).

So my question, is this a known issue with the new HTC base, or has anything you've tweaked touched code that might affect these things, or is it completely unrelated to kernel and my provider is just being an arse?

Swyped from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
i was a little surprised at that too, hopefully next rom update will use the release version of this kernel, perhaps he was not wanting to use beta?

same as you im gonna keep using faux kernels anyway, they rock! :D
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
He did say he will use it once out of beta :) I am on phone otherwise I'd link the quote

[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
It will be better to change paths in thermald from sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq to sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq. Same result but other apps still could read real available maximum CPU frequency.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
I considered that too, but that would require romside changes, and I did not want to interfere with hacked thermald binaries yet. Also for some reason even after disabling thermald cpu1 still gets reset sometimes, probably by mpdecision.

Removing the cpuinfo_max_freq completely will result in either thermald or mpdecision resetting cpu1 to 192mhz (default min value).

So this was the quickest and best solution in my point of view ;)
[HTC Sensation] jordin1128:
I'm not experiencing any problems w/o mpdecision being enabled. Should I still enable it or keep it as is? Drain is good with both CPUs on
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Yup. I think will be a choice of stock, Sebastion, and or faux. No idea how he will do it though

No issues yet.. Battery drain is normal. Phone isn't any hotter than normal. I'll try games and such in a bit

[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
A little off topic but he could use Aroma installer so that the number of Yes/No options could be greatly reduced. It's supported in 4EXT Touch.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
If you are on ARHD, then you can disable m(ake)p(oor)decision and enjoy dual core action as its meant to be. If you are on NON-ARHD ROMs, I HIGHLY recommend re-enabling of mpdecision until I come up with an ALL kernel solution for 2nd core management and thermal management :D

Version 001 is very close to be released, but it does NOT mean I will stop my kernel haxing... Once it's released, I will continue to add new technology and new innovation to the Sensation kernel (Think of my Galaxy Nexus Kernel, which I have included some of the latest cutting edge technologies with lots of cool features and EXCELLENT battery life). Also once version 001 kernel is released, my kernel source will be ready for public consumption as well, you can then see exactly what's in version 001 and you will know how much effort I have put into my kernel even for the first official release!
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Yay ! Thanks Faux ! :)

Is your V 001 fixed about the 2nd core sometimes totally disabled on some ROM ? Or are you trying to do that ?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
thanks faux. would you advice disabling mpdecision on AHRD?
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
I disabled mine a few beta releases ago, I'm using ARHD. It's been perfect without it....

I renamed mpdecision to mpdecision_dis its in folder /system/bin

Then reboot and no more poor decisions
[HTC Sensation] elgubbo:
first of all:

thanks for your great work faux!

i just flashed your 001b7 kernel and noticed one strange thing:

cpu1 seems to be offline all the time (linpack multithread test, same results as single thread, and when running quadrand and switching to system tuner system tuner shows cpu0 at 1.56 and cpu1 offline).

is this intended and maybe the benchmarks show strange beaviour or did i do something wrong?

EDIT: i just noticed my mpdecision was disabled, will test with mpd

thanks again

[HTC Sensation] design12:
Not sure if this has been answered. Been through the thread. Im on ARHD 6.5.3XE. I installed beta 7 with mpdesicion disabled but cpu1 would not go online at all. So i re-enabled mpdesicion and in the beginning cpu1 would be online at max then it went offline & wouldn't come back online. :(

Hi faux123..

[HTC Sensation] bkcheah75:
Faux,

I flashed 029u on my Insertcoin gingerbread ROM. The camera doesnt work and showing black screen only. How to fix that?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
You need to flash the Reset Kernel for 3.5 Sense, then flash my latest official GB kernel afterwards. This will solve the camera issues.

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

Just flashed v001 for ICS (I am on ARHD 6.5.3).

When I went to rename mpdecision in /system/bin I found it already was called mpdecision_dis.

Did that happen on flashing kernel? Or did Mike or Seb do that for me? I know it wasn't me.

Odd.

Do I need to change build.prop as well?

PS -- first impressions, very very very smooth and fast @ 1.5Ghz.

P.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Couple of things.

First: this kernel breaks QuickBoot application. Not a big deal, but odd.

Second: both CPUs working very nicely together.

Third: governor was set to interactive. Isn't on-demand more efficient? I'm changing it now.

Otherwise, so far, so good.

Hi Faux123,

I followed your instruction and now CAMERA is working on my InsertCoin 3.4.6 Gingerbread with your kernel v029 now. Thank you very much.
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
2nd Core goes into a coma

I don't know what it is about my setup, but after a great start that followed a super-wipe, flash of ARHD 6.5.3 (non-XE), setup phone, flash Shnizlon's theme, configuring Nova Launcher and then flashing faux123 v001... I went about 2 hours until it began to lag on me. I opened up System Tuner Pro and found that no matter what was running the 2nd core (cpu1) remained offline. :confused:

Again, I'm willing to try other things to trouble shoot this. In fact, the open release of v001 is what prompted me to start fresh with super-wipe.

To be as clear as possible of how my phone is setup, here is my setup log from shnizon's aurora theme installation. It details the options I selected.

I still prefer yours and show-p's over the stock kernel and will be running Bricked until a new release of this or any ideas I can try.

Thanks again for all of your work faux123!

P.S. - for anyone switching between this kernel and others, remember that the flash script renames /system/bin/mpdecision to mpdecision_dis. You'll need to revert this rename as other kernel flash scripts will not do that for you.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Quick Boot works fine for me with this kernel.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
since beta 4, mpdecision has been restored. If you have issues with lagging due to 2nd core being mysteriously turned off, simply re-enable mpdecision and reboot.

just to be absolutely clear, my kernel is 100% compatible with or without mpdecision!

Hey, Faux.

How can I enable zram in LeeDrOiD ICS? I'm guessing the folder hierarchy in ICS is different than in GB, because the previous command lines don't seem to work. Any chance you could include a "zram enabler" in the install like in the Bricked kernel? That's turn-key zram on LeeDrOiD.

I have the latest version running for since it came out and battery life is good. At this moment I'm having 21% and it's been 15 hours ago since the last full charge.

Overal performance is good. The only thing is when ever I wake up the phone after not using it for lets say 30 min, the phone always react a bit too slow. Like its thinking what It should do.

I'm guessing that with this both cores are getting online and its not a big issue but is there something I can do to improve this?

[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Since CPU 2nd core and screen off profiling are all built-in. I highly recommend letting the kernel do all the work. You can still use Apps to UV, adjust max OC or change governors but you SHOULD NOT set any profiles at all.

mpdecision and thermald have both been renamed to mpdecision_dis and thermald_dis to prevent them from running with my kernel !
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
will disabling them improve battery life?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Well increase performance and battery. Rapid hotplugging have been found to waste battery because hotplugging CPU is an expensive process...
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Correct me if I'm wrong but with this you mean we should not use apps like System tuner or setCPU which use profiles but yes like NoFrills that just limit the OC of our devices isn't it?

Btw is UV set by default to any value or just lets you UV if you want using some app?
[HTC Sensation] epsix:

just checking, if we do decide to change kernel, mpdecision and thermald will not be renamed back will they?
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Well, excellent question man ! Wondering the same right now :p
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
If you switch to another kernel, simply rename both back to their original names by removing "_dis" using file explorer of your choice with root access.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
But if i'm on bricked kernel and i switch to yours, should i delete something ?
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
okay cool, thought that might be the case :)

thank you! kernel running great, second core switching off on sleep, and back on upon wake, all working fine! :D
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Just to know... what do this files? And where are they located so I can remove the "_dis"? btw... won't a new kernel include it's version of those files or are not tipically modified by other kernels?

PS: Will the "non-beta" version still keep this rename or it's just for test pruposes?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Coming to my kernel using another kernel should be automatic. My CWM kernel update zipfile will automatically disable both files by renaming them.

Both files are located in /system/bin/ folder.

This renaming will be the new install script from version 002 onward so all users using my kernel for the first time will have the proper settings.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
just checked my time in state file for cpu0 and it seems even when sleeping the cpu isn't scaling, just sticks to max frequencies.

i think this is more a problem with ARHD though as i have been getting it with other kernels too. in any case, do you have any idea what the problem could be faux?
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Then all users must remember to rename them when they want to switch to another one isn't it? Just to point those names on a sticky note on my computer not to forget :P
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
After switching to another kernel take a look and if their are still disabled and should be enabled then rename the files and you are good to go

I figured out why i had some lags, it's because you must wait a little bit for the kernel to "understand" that your on screen on, and then it pushes the second core online :p

I noticed kernel is set for interactive governor. I also know HTC improved interactive. Is that what you're recommending?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Nope, it should be ondemand by my kernel default. I am not sure why interactive was activated.

And I highly recommend using ONLY ondemand. I have tried interactive, it's a battery hog even after a complete rewrite by Google.
