same here several times black screen, now I am trying to disable all animation , will see if it working properly after disable animation
[HTC Sensation] motoman234:
I still get the black screen on calls on 2.3.4 and 2.3.5. I'm sure faux will figure this bug out but in the mean time I need to use my phone as a phone :p. Are only some people getting this bug?
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
Have to say, this is the best kernel I've used. Really speedy, great battery life. Couldn't ask for more. Will be using this kernel till the day I move on from the sensation.

Cheers faux! :D:D

Battery stats

Is anyone else having messed up battery stats ?

It shows 35% remaining the phone turns off when try to call or do something else,i run the phone into recovery it shows 15% then i unplug the battery and reinsert again turn on the phone and shows 4% remaining.Is it a battery error (faulty battery) or is it anything else?

I am on ARHD 664 with faux v6 kernel on stock battery.

Thanks !

This phone is known for having really weird battery sensor : personnally, if I reboot my phone, almost each time it will be adding 15/20% juice to my battery gauge and it's totally wrong, it decreases really quickly to the real value.
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
Does the phone just turn off on you as if the battery died? A lot of people were having that problem and if your phone is less than a year old you still have the HTC warranty and can send it in to be fixed.

A fix that someone else found that works (there is a thread somewhere in the development section) to wedge a piece of notecard or folded up paper inbetween the battery and the wall of the battery holding, opposite where the battery pins are. Basically you want to have the battery pushing harder on the battery connectors. There are pictures in the thread but I was shutting down multiple times daily as soon as my battery dropped below 50%. It's been two weeks since I've put paper in there and haven't had any shutdowns.
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Faux, just a small suggestion. Could you add Faux to the title of the thread as I often see people looking for the kernel after being recommended on other threads and its not obvious where to look as it doesn't show if you search for faux in thread titles.

I rember it took me a while to find it in the early days because of this.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] johnlasx:
Battery stats

Also i read something about the supercharger (it's installation is optional and i have installed it) that's included in the ARHD rom that it doesn't work well zram and it needs a different method of battery calibration to work normally with the remaining battery percentage.I will reinstall the rom without the supercharger script and see how it goes.If it's the same i will try puting a card inbetween the battery and the cover.
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
Sounds good. I have seen numerous threads with people on different roms and kernels complaining of the problem. People would still have the problem after converting back to stock. Seems like the general consensus was that the problem didn't start until trying ICS roms which is pretty interesting.

When I called HTC though they confirmed that there have been a ton of complaints coming in about the phone shutting off and warranty would cover it. This notecard fix is working for me though so I'm saving the trouble of shipping my phone off. I still have a month before my warranty is up though so I still have time to change my mind.

I've found that the speed of your swipe determines if a screenshot is taken. i.e. drag slowly from right to left, screenshot is taken. A little faster, none taken. Takes some experimenting to nail down how fast you need to be.
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
If u've done the update on build.prop then there's no need for timing of swipe
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
005u was perhaps better than 006u?

I now experience (rare) graphical glitches, the phone restarted a few times and I think it runs hotter (which makes sense since it's running on 1.7ghz).

Don't know if I'm the only one, but guess I'll stick with 005 for now...

Loving your work nevertheless Faux! :D
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
If you're using arhd, it might be because of the adreno driver update. Roll back to the old ones.

Is there any methods to disable sweep2wake (006u), coz it drains my battery....

Thx

Send from my OrDroided Sensation
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
In the first post you will find the files to disable it. All you need to do is download the file, place it on your sdcard and flash it via recovery
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
How did you figure that your drain came from sleep2wake
[HTC Sensation] d.kuyt:
Coz I always hold my phone, and the lights on quite often (for sweep2wake) and the battery drains.

But at the time I leave my phone aside, the battery life is normal

So I think probably coz of the sweep2wake

[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
If you like/use s2w try disabling only the lights and leave active s2w
[HTC Sensation] d.kuyt:
Haha, actually I just think s2w is a fancy add-on, I dnt really use it often, so disable it seem to be the best option :D

Between, thanks for ur help

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
No drain on my end, strange !?
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
Your statements are very inconsistent, how can you say it drains bec of s2w but then say you don't use that functionality.

And holding your phone doesnt drain battery...
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I don't understand that either?
[HTC Sensation] d.kuyt:
I mean I dnt sweep, but I always hold my phone with touching the screen,

so with s2w, the screen is always ready for wake up, I guess this is the reason it drains my battery

Now disabled s2w and battery is back to normal for me....

[HTC Sensation] elgar:
For some reason I can't change the governor settings in SetCPU. They go back after reboot even though I check "set on boot" option. Could anyone help what's the problem? I've reflashed rom, superwiped, uninstalled, installed back, still the settings go back.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Follow this steps:

Open system tuner

Go to CPU tab

Select intelidemand governor from dropdown menu

Click on Boot Settings

Re-Apply CPU settings

init.d script

Done
[HTC Sensation] elgar:
Thanks! Is there a way to change governor settings like in setcpu? I am talking about these:

two phase freq

lmf activie max freq

lmf inactive max freq
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Yes, it's possible. If you're referring to the "tuned intellidemand" then click the link which says "tuned intellidemand" in my signature here below.
[HTC Sensation] elgar:
That's the problem. Every time I tune intellidemand and reboot (in setcpu), my settings switch back.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Reflash the kernel, undo the system tuner steps i wrote in my previous post and unninstall system tuner, keep just setcpu and re-do the tweaking for intelidemand.

That should help
[HTC Sensation] elgar:
Thank you, I will try that.
[HTC Sensation] elgar:
Didn't work. Settings reset after reboot. I am talking only about governor settings. Are these settings critical? I just can't think of anything else I could do about it. Will the "tuning" still be appropriate?
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
I'm guessing that some tweaks/ files are interfering with each other.

I had this a couple of days ago. I ended up reflashing the Rom with stock kernel first and after a reboot I flashed Faux's kernel and everything worked out just fine! :D Perhaps you can try this as well?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Is this info any help? thanks to malybru adn Muertoko
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Hmm... Thanks!

It might have been useful... ;) I didn't try this back then. The reason for my issue was mike's comment about the inti.post_boot.sh file and that we should remove this file from Faux's kernel before flashing his kernels separately. However some one, I believe his name is Puch, looked at the files and compared it and came to the conclusion that this step wasn't necessary.

However making a profile might help Elgar's problem.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Yes, i'm still waiting faux to give his point of view regarding different versions of init.post file included in his kernel package and ARHD ROM. I've decided to re-flash the kernel and overwrite mike's file, i haven't noticed any bad effects yet.
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Same here! Let's wait and see what Faux has to say about this! ;)
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
I´m with you, same problem, settings resseted after reboot.
[HTC Sensation] elgar:
I re-flashed the system about 10 times yesterday. Thanks to Rom cleaner it wasn't too bad. But had no success. Although I didn't try stock kernel.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

It helped! Thank you very much. I created a profile with battery <101% to set freqs to 1188/384. Now the governor settings remained after reboot. Maybe this info needs to go to FAQ or smth.
[HTC Sensation] johnlasx:
Is there a way to undervolt with SetCpu (v2.3) ?

In SetCpu screenshots it shows that it contains the undervolt/overvolt option but in this kernel it's not added i suppose.If it's not added can we add the voltage select option in SetCpu?

I am on ARHD 664 with faux v6.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
I dont think there's uv option in setcpu

I use the init.post.boot.sh file to uv

But i wish i can uv lower than 800 mv on faux
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Intellidemand vs. ondemand

Hi faux! i've been trying the ondemand governor (384-1620) since yesterday and i was wondering if there is any differences between ondemand and intellidemand when the phone is idle or the screen is off. How are the freqs managed by the kernel in those scenarios and what is the cpu offline policy?

BTW ondemand governor is great it feels a bit smoother than intellidemand but i miss the near-to-no batt drain when idle that intellidemand gives.

I appreciate your answers and comments, thank you very much.
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
I know after flashing a kernal you need to wait for a few charge cycles to get to normal battery drain but after 2 days of version 6 Im getting very bad battery. While idle its good but if you turn screen on and use any app it starts to drop fast.
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Afaik you can tweak ondemand a bit to make it work smooth and safe battery, to do so you can set profiles with SetCPU for example when screen is off put freq to 384-5XX or so, it works great for me!

Share you experience :) I'm now running ondemand too with some profiles for testing purposes and understand ondemand better just like you ;)

Hope faux show us some light on this!
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Thanks for your answer. The thing is that i'm not that friend of setting profiles that's why i wanted to know the kernel behaviour with the screen off, maybe the profiles aren't needed at all.

Thanks though :)
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
yeah i notice this as well idlle time good but usage time is just normal
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Yep I'm not a profile user, but everything it's wort testing :P Let's see if faux answers to this (You should ask him on Twitter, there you'll get a fast answer, and if he answers could you please paste it here just in case I miss his tweet? Really want to know it xD
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Not 100% but I think it's just on demand tweaked, like when just browsing the web the max frequency is 1ghz and screen off it changes too , I also notice a small difference in performance its minimal but is understandable and worth the battery I save using it....
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
Is read when the screen is off the following line is read:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/screen_off_max_freq

I'm not sure whether this is on one or two cores.(1) When the sceen is on, there are two possible maximum frequencies, depending on the processor load measured over a certain period.

- If the processor load is low, the phone switches to a single core but higher frequency mode.

- When the load is high, the second core gets switched on, but the CPU frequency is lowered a bit.

(1) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24366280&highlight=intellidemand#post24366280 this post says screen off is ALWAYS on one core.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Second core gets switched off when the phone is put to sleep, so there is no need to give said core a max screen off frequency.

Hi,

I was wondering if there was an (easy) way to activate fast charging over USB ?

I've been using that on my HD2 (Dorimanx kernel), so it did charge from USB at the same rate as if plugged to a wall charger. Quite a usefull feature to be honest, if USB is delivering enough juice that is.

Thanx, JP.

Maybe the Sensation not support it, but who know since the developer of "[KERNEL PATCH] Force AC (fast) Charging" did not post the thread on Sensation section. But if implemented on this kernel it will be very other great feature.

zram ?

Hi,

I have a question, maybe a silly one, but here I go ;)

I've searched the thread to find how to disable zram and found this info :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25571922&postcount=6635

So now I have disabled zram, using this way :

swapoff /dev/block/zram0
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/block/zram0/reset
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/block/zram0/disksize

What I expected to see after this is 100Mb more free RAM, or at least 50Mb since ~50Mb were used just before swapoff, but nothing changed...

I expected the swapoff command would have moved swapped blocks from zram to hardswap (I have a swap partition on the SD card), but at that point only 4Mb swap were used when there were around 50Mb used just before the swapoff command.

Also I expected that the ~100Mb used for the virtual block device would eventually be freed once I resized the zram0 device to 0. I don't know if ram for zram is allocated dynamically, but that would be strange, since zram would claim ram when there is no free ram left ?!

How can I verify the 100Mb used for zram are now freed and available for system use ?

Also where is zram enabled at boot ? Or put differently, where can I disable zram on boot ? I have found no reference in the init.d scripts.

Thanx for any hint ! :D

[HTC Sensation] loan92:
sorry but when you install the faux kernel, there is the possibility to set the voltage? and if not possible, what is the default voltage? :D
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
Yes it is possible, have you read the first post? It has script examples. Another option is System Tuner eg., give it root permissions and you can change voltages though that app and even have them applied on boot. The last option is to search through this thread as there are several people who posted scripts they use themselves.

[HTC Sensation] daredevil_off:
hello faux,

I appreciate your work. Your kernels are just beyond amazing!

Since I'm very curious, I have a simple question about above quotation:

I'm an electronics engineer (designing systems in transistor level) and I can't explain this situation to myself! If we run a chip or something with a lower voltage, than we have a less power consumption which is quite reasonable! But then, we can't reach same working frequency with a lower power, can we? OR, 25mV change is very ignorable in terms of reaching the expected frequency but leads less power consumption in total!!?? this is the only explanation to myself, am I right???
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
You are correct, I guess to make it complete it should say "there is no performance difference on the same frequency with different voltages". You are also correct in saying that "with lower voltages the maximum possible frequency to reach is lower". This also means that if one wants to achieve high overclocks, under volting is usually not the way to go, you should put the core on a higher voltage.

Open Beta may not be stable and may cause issues with your phone!

By loading open beta you have agreed to:

1. To report all random reboots with associated /proc/last_kmsg

2. To provide feedback on errors or bugs with detail phone information such as ROM, kernel version, and apps

a) Phone doesn't boot (without providing any additional information, ROM versions etc)

B) phone is too hot (without providing any additional information, ie OC freq, UV etc)

The Open Beta system is designed to have the community help each other and the developers. This way, all potential bugs are flushed out so the final released version will be stable and error free.

Kernel 007 Open Beta Build 1

https://twitter.com/faux123/status/205708427555647489 (BETA is always Ultimate Edition with everything turned on unless stated otherwise!)

patched to mainline 3.0.32

updated interactive governor to latest Google Mainline

updated USB gadget accessory (added USB Gadget Audio Source support)

Added couple of network fixups from Mainline

Intellidemand Governor tweak:

Introducing Smart Core Management :D

Automatic offlining of 2nd CPU core while Screen is ON.

Scenarios:

1- While Screen is ON > 3 min, and average load of the CPU is < 35%, then CPU1 will be taken offline.

2- While Screen is On, if average CPU load > 35%, CPU1 will be Online and both CPUs max frequencies will be limited to 1.13 GHz Max

3- While Screen is On, After both CPUs' Max is limited to 1.13 GHz, when the average CPU load has dropped down to less than < 25%, then both CPUs Max freq will be restored to 1.51 GHz Max (then go back to scenario 1).

-- for 3D Games or GPU intensive apps (GPU in Turbo Mode and Load is >= 50%), both CPUs's max frequencies will be restored to 1.51 GHz and both CPUs will be online.

NOTE: DO NOT use BENCHMARK APPS to compare my kernels to others. All those are ARTIFICIAL benchmarks and mostly measures CPU raw performance. If you insist to use those to compare kernels then set to performance governor before comparing for Apple to Apple comparison.
