In 2.51, the kernel is the same, it's just the installer that does clean away more leftovers of other kernels / mods.

JP.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

What in fact is ridiculous is not giving the advice to reflash a ROM, but users falshing mods around like crazy, then flashing a kernel, then complaining it doesn't work well when in fact their system is just cluttered with leftovers and inconsistent mods.

In such a case, I stand by my words,

REFLASH THE WHOLE DAMN ROM AND START OVER CLEAN

. If it's still not working then we have at least a clean point to start looking for the issue and solve it.

I have now stated numerous times that if you know what you're doing and know to keep your ROM clean, you're fine. But that is most obviously not the case

for quite a lot of urers

.

I have never needed to do this, but I just can't let statements stand saying faux's kernel is not behaving, eating battery when it clearly is not a kernel problem as it's working just fine for many others.

BTW, I don't consider the 99z_kernel to be rogue ? You're from the UK, so I suppose you'd better know then me that rogue is associated to "crook, swindler, con, trickster, sharper" ...

It is in fact one comprehensive place that holds all the settings for the kernel (including comments !!). Scattering all of those settings around in numerous files could more easily be considered as such as they are hard to track down without forgetting one.

You also forgot 98swap, for those that use hardswap mod.

And last, deleting init.qcom.post_boot.sh and init.post_boot.sh is a

VERY BAD IDEA

, when doing so better hope those are included with the kernel (as is the case with faux), else you might end up with some ROMs not working properly anymore. As an example, by doing so on ARHD and Elegancia you'd have broken init.d scripts support.

We can now argue if that is the right place to handle init.d support, that is not my call to make, I'm not the ROM cook.

[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Bugger! Had just typed out a big reply and my bloody browser FCs :( haha. In summary:

-im not saying I don't appreciate your work putting a cleanup script into aroma, it is useful and helpful done this way. But teaching a newbie to reflash a whole rom just to flash a kernel is just imparting bad and time consuming practice unto them.

-in this context rogue would not mean what you stated at all. Once a new kernel is flashed your script becomes rogue as it would change settings on said new kernel. It DOES NOT mean its bad at all because it isn't, you have created a very good way of installing fauxs kernel.

-first thing I do upon flashing a ROM I know doesn't need it, Is delete the post boot scripts. I'm fed up of all these miscellaneous tweaks scripts like these provide. I don't use ARHD so I'm okay in that respect because other ROMs just don't need it. Although I admit they are useful as a way to set CPU frequencies and lmk settings so I will modify them and keep them occasionally. But most of the time they are completely unnecessary clutter.

Sorry for mistakes, typing on my phone.
[HTC Sensation] klothius:
You do realise that there are stuff in those post boot scripts that are more than just mere LMK and initd setups?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
That's just the worst that can happen ;)

I didn't want to do that in the first place, but what else to do to avoid having issues reported wrongfully associated with a kernel ?

I see it as the least time consuming way for unexperienced users, because not doing so will take them, and us,

even more time

to track down, understand their issues and eventually solve them. So in this context it is sound advice.

In comparison, when presented with a Windows box that is totally corrupted, I reinstall it asap because that will only take 1-2 hours, where tracking down and fixing (without knowing if it's really totally fixed) will take up way more hours.

Same on a crashed car, any car can be repaired, but insurance will only repair it if the cost to repair is less than the car is worth at that given time.

Call it reasonable economics if you wish, because I totally agree, it's not the technically sound advice... but then again, I'm not giving it to a technician either, he'd know what to do and not have to read it up :D

And some have already thanked me for giving it to them as they are now "better educated" in terms of flashing around mods and now have a system that is running fine.

I agree, once you're on a different kernel, the script becomes rogue, hadn't understood it that way.

Anyway I've been wanting to add a last feature in my Aroma, that would be :

"cleanup to prepare for installing a different kernel".

That way I just take care of whatever I change on the system and revert it to whatever the system was right before. That will include making a backup of previous init.qcom.post_boot.sh and init.post_boot.sh before replacing them in order to be able to restore them.

I can't see any least invasive way to install a kernel and make it "removable" again...

I totally agree with what you mean, I had much rather init.d support came out of the ramdisk, but that's just not what all ROMs do, so being in the kernel domain, I need to take that into consideration.

I need to replace those files so as to remove some of the changes they contain in order to have those customizable by the user, but that also means the version I replace it with needs to be "compatible" with numerous ROMs I neither know, or even know of for that matter, nor have ever tried all of those myself...

So if those file could stay "clean" and just do what their initial purpose is, that would be easier, then we could just ignore them and leave them be as is.

don't know this kernel or rom related issue

[HTC Sensation] j1po:
I want to ask, the vipers 1.2 has cpu tweak on venom tweak, I see, readahead size show 2048, but I choose 128 in aroma

and also global voltage value, -50 in aroma, 0 in venomtweak and system tuner

how I know the right one running in system??

thanks
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I can't see anyhting really strange on your screenshots, getting 62% after 10+ hours looks fine to me ... maybe watch google talk, if you're not using it intensely.

As for Aroma settings, Venom Tweaks, as I stated multiple times, kicks in long after Aroma's script has set the chosen values, thus Venom Tweaks will win each time on settings like LMK readahead etc.

As for UV, set it to 0 in Aroma, 0 in Venom Tweak, don't apply anything in System Tuner and then boot.

Now check the voltage values shown in System Tuner (take a screenshot, write them down, whatever is easiest for you).

Then set UV back to -50mV in Aroma, reboot an check with System Tuner if the voltage values have changed.

If they have, then Aroma settings work, if they haven't Venom Tweaks overrides those as well.

In general, though, whatever you do, never set UV in more than one place, setting several can make undervolting to add up and you'll end up in a boot-loop because you effectively undervolted your device too much !

JP.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
I must say i don't have any problems with the new venom tweaks and the aroma installer :) never changed something in the tweaks for the cpu, just installed the kernel with aroma and now everything i entered while installing the kernel with aroma are taken over by the tweaks, just the uv not :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I suppose that's just for as long as you don't use the tweaks. Probably once you used the tweak they will be setting stuff again ;)

Do you know how the tweak work, do they use a background app to apply, do they generate a script ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Nope, i don't know anything about how the app works, there are no init.d scripts for it but the venom tweaks app needs su rights and is always running in the background so i think it done directly from the app :) But then the question is where does it get the settings from..? :D

Perhaps i will test it later after doing a nandroid backup :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I suppose then, if there's no init.d script, it will store the settings in a DB file, and will apply upon starting, and who knows, maybe even regularly check and reset the values if they've been change in the meantime by some other app/script...

JP.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
As i remember the minfree settings where also stored in the android settings db (/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db) :) But if you manually changed the min free settings with system tuner or adb the stayed till you had rebooted.. And wasnt there a init.d script which overrides the minfree settings from the venom tweaks?

EDIT: Just had a look into my settings.db and there is no entry for the cpu settings :/

Hi guys, I flashed 2.52 on latest HyperMIUI, flashed Yank setting, but when I check on system tuner pro my CPU is at 1.18 GHz but I flashed with 1.7 GHz now I don't know if other settings work correctly :(

Odesláno z mého HyperMIUI Sensation pomocí Tapatalk 2
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
You most likely do no have init.d script support on MIUI, so all the settings are not applied and you are running stock compiled-in kernel frequencies and settings (Yank's is at 1.2 be default, so that fits, faux's is at 1.5 I believe).

Ask in your ROM thread about init.d support, if it exists, or if it can be added.

If that's not possible, you'll have to use tools like System Tuner and SetpCPU, and some settings won't be available (like LED notification, fast-charge...).

Might be worth reflashing the ROM over (without wiping data) to have a clean starting point and then reflash the kernel.

Question on using hard swap with Yank 2.52 version - If I need to disable hardswap for some reason (like a misbehaving cra*py sd card), do I just have to remove the 98swap file from the init.d folder and reboot?

[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
As i can see, yes :)

maybe it would be better to flash once more faux kernel witthout choosing hardswap ... as the kernel erase previous settings before flashing. this way you can easely choose beetwen zram, hardswap or no swap ....
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well battery reporting isn't that precise, especially on the Sensation, but at least you can consider that drain is really very low. I expect it to be around 5-8mA / h.

JP.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Both ways work, so whatever is easiest for you, either use a root file explorer and remove the file (98swap) or reflash the kernel zip, choose hardswap = no and just regenerate the settings (no need to actually reflash the kernel as well).

JP.
[HTC Sensation] chrisrj28:

I tried yank2.52 on viperS 1.21...with -75mV of undervolt. 1.51 max freq and everything else with standard values. No swap no zram....but it was laggy so I come back to bricked.

Hi my friend,

I really don't understand why it is laggy for you ...

phase 2 stock faux

do not set ram in aroma it won't work, set your memories settings in venom tweaks, i use multitasking extreme.

I have enable sweep2wake, and i use Hardswap (gives you more memory ) thanks to YANK.

then you can check your cpu setting in veno tweaks too to see if all is correct.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I got that low on HyperNonSense at best conditions, but as the name of the ROM suggests, it's Sense-stripped. Plus I even stripped some AOSP stuff I didn't need and I was using Juice Defender Ultimated to only open data connectivity once every 15 minutes (WiFi and/or mobile data).

I suppose on your HD2 you got that low on a CM7 or AOSP ROM, not a Sense ROM ?
