that's Barcode Scanner:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android

btw i dont think so that will be the problem , maybe he is just trying to restore that app only and the TB just freezes like mine on any apps. i think there is no problem with this kernel but the problem should be on the other side(ViperS Roms) maybe they have just configured or did something that their rom will act proper just with bricked kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
Might be correct but no I am not trying to restore only Barcode scanner and it does not freeze on that app but any app.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
So if you restore only one app, it won't work either ?

Im wondering what people are getting in terms of battery life using this kernel and the Viper S rom.

I'm getting 5 hours after flashing 10b2 - 300gpu and charging full only once, 2.5 hrs screentime - Viper 1.3

1.2 Ghz, All stock options
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
I really think people having problems with Titanium backup should contact the developer, I think the problem is with the app not the kernel. There is a note on the changelog on TB :)

There is also a note in TB if you click problems, troubleshooting pops up and says:

***If it hangs during some operations, hit 'Preferences' and set 'App processing mode' to 'Auto,Indirect'***
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
I have had the same issue lately with Titanium Pro. I solved the issue by reinstalling Stericson Busybox (Smart Install resetting all symlinks) and also reinstalling SuperSU from the market using the option in SuperSU settings. As soon as I did this all Titanium issues were resolved.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
This is the best I got out of mine when I was still using it as a daily, but it was on a Sense-less ROM, which is way more gentle with the battery :

[HTC Sensation] NODO-GT:
Can we have Vsync Off/On Option added to Aroma Installer? Thats what XxXPachaXxX's kernel has and makes it a lot faster, they maybe some frames out of sync because of this but it would make overall feel much better. As an additional option in Aroma that would be amazing addition to this kernel.

Hope you include it in next versions.

also this would increase benchmark scores dramatically :P
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Just FYI.. The latest kernel of pachas.. Didn't have vsync disabled by default.. Only the test build has (the mod) ;)
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
it is very easy, my friend :)

No need newer version

Just download and flash this zip ===> done!!!

If you want to delete it:

Go to system/etc/init.d

=> delete 99vsync

Disabled vsync and benchmarks are through the roof. No noticeable loss in normal operations and everything is perky.

Trying to go back to v007r2 from 8b4 (the one with Yank's Aroma installer) but the phone keeps freezing up when I do. I tried using Socali's kernel reset (for Virtuous Inquisition) but no dice. Any help appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
just curious, disabling vsync made things smoother for you? and it is just a matter of flashing that zip to disable it ?
[HTC Sensation] NODO-GT:
So I Updated to latest v010b2 (320MHz). And it's really big update from 009b4.

I Didn't flash Vsync Zip for this benchmark, you can see 2D and 3D scores are normal.

I haven't seen any better results @ 1.5GHz

Then I flashed Vsync Disable that axetilen posted. but it had 0 effect, still FPS is capped at 60 in different bechmarks, and it's totally same feel in UI.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Ähm, perhaps you should not downgrade but update?! Latest build is 10b2..

[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Is it the first time that you flash a new kernel? You need an unsecure boot image to be able to flash a kernel. But thats all i can say about this sorry :(
[HTC Sensation] Wanhao:
No，i've flashed many roms and kernels before ..this problem only appear when i flashed miui..

is miui's boot image not unsecure?
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
As i remember there was a guy with the same problem and miui, so i think miui has no unsecure boot image included. I first thought youre using OpenSensation because of your signature :D
[HTC Sensation] Wanhao:
sorry i forgot to update my sig:mad:

do you know how to unsecure boot image by myself?
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Can you give me a link for your current rom (miui)?
[HTC Sensation] Wanhao:
i downloaded the rom from official miui website : http://www.miui.com

edit: version number is miui v4 2.9.21
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Just searched the web and got this:

So i think you will have to use a custom miui rom to be able to flash a custom kernel or find a way to flash an unsecure boot image. :(
[HTC Sensation] Wanhao:

Hi. I'm on elegancia sense4 3.1.0 and I installed yanks version of 010b2. I chose intellidemand etc. But now I notice that my system doesn't go into inactive max which I set to 1.13ghz. It usually uses the active max which is 1.51ghz. I check on system tuner and that's what it shows. I check the initd file and it shows the correct parameters. What could be the problem? I was using elegancia sense 3.6 before and it didn't have this problem. I've already tried reinstalling kernel. I would appreciate some help thanks
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Now I'm on viper 1.3.0 with default kernel, but I wanna try last faux to see how behaves with viper.

Can I flash it directly, or shall I do some previous cleaning?

And in order to go back to previous default kernel just in case, can I just flash the previously backed up boot.img or do I have to restore a whole nandroid?
[HTC Sensation] chassy_8o9:
Im using the latest versión and I just flash it directly from recovery and this work perfect. If u want costumize ur installation use yank555 versión with aroma.
[HTC Sensation] mehr1369:
what is your Rom and Kernel sir ? ...your score is crazy ....
[HTC Sensation] qzem:
Would this kernel work on HTC One S with s3 processor. I am asking cause first ICS rom on HTC Sensation was based on rom from our phone (villeC)?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Yes you can just flash it. If you want to go back, you need to just remove these two files :

/system/etc/init.d/99z_kernel

/system/etc/init.d/98swap (only present if you use hardswap)

And then reflash the boot.img.

Or just reflash the ROM without wiping.

Don't think it'd work, I'd not do it.

Plus if the partition table is different, you'd potentially brick your phone, as the kernel would be installed in the wrong partition overwriting god knows what...

[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
you have to try

but I have this idea

disabling vsync makes your device faster (feeling and reaility) => decrease max CPU frequency a little bit => increase battery life :D => still smooth

battery life may increase or decrease due to your usage with vsync = off

Neither yank or myself have verified this vsync setting. You can test it for yourself and give us some feedback on this.

It's a harmless setting. No kernel or Rom updates needed for it. It's simply a switch to disable vsync.

[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Game graphic corruption is due to bad libs according Mike1986 and he has found a solution for this (ie, copy some EGL libs from another ROM series). Therefore, this is not kernel related.

Currently there are no way to manually OC GPU as a separate setting based on HTC/Qualcomm code. I will look into enabling turbo mode for GPU once I get some free time.

I haven't had a single issue with screen shot with Superlite 1.4 on either of the 1.56mhz 0.1.2 kernels. Only issue I've had is with making a nand and my phone giving me a force close box and black screen requiring battery pull, bootloader, recovery, reboot system now. I'm getting pretty good battery life so far as well. Only been a cpl hours at wok but it's doing at least as well as stock. Nice work faux!

[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Are you sure its not kernel related? a Month ago when baadnewz ported the 234 leak he found this bug and put it down to libs too.

He then included the other libs with the stock kernel however the problem still persisted, only solution was to flash custom kernel.

I'm no dev but it sounds like the kernel has a part too

Omg this is Cwazy!

The chances of all those different mods not breaking each other seems so slim.. if you actually got it right you are very lucky. I suggest investing that luck in lottery :)

Also, 500 zram? That leaves some 90Mb non swapped ram. The system can actually live with so little? Impressive...

The kernel tuner app from the evo 3d

forum has the option to disable/enable vsync. It also can custimize all faux parameters, s2w, freqs, etc.
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
Nice!

But I cant see zram?

Otherwise used memory should have been atleast 500?

And there would have been 2 swap lines AFAIK.
[HTC Sensation] albiGib:
Does this kernel have two way call recording?
[HTC Sensation] silverdart:
Thanks!

My swap is located on my SD Card where it occupies 500mb. What you are looking at is 500mb of zram. If I remove my 90zram from init.d that entire line would be zeros.
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
Hmm... I think ZRam should act like swap, so you should have had 2 swap lines, one line for the hardswap (SD) the other for zram.

Also according to the memory footprint you've shared - zram is either not activated or does not take 500mb. The system has only ~570MB free (768mb minus whatever is allocated for the gpu), so you could only have had no more than 70mb free ram.

Are the scripts written in such a way that allows both zram and hard-swap ? not sure..

Anyhow - the fact the the rest of the mods do not collide still amazes me :)

I believe what you are saying. Over time I have strayed away from partitions. Call it a hunch that this may be the cause of many reboots.

Using script (modified to 500mb) at the top of the screen of my SD card the swap 488.3mb at the bottom was created. The second screen shot shows the 488.3mb being created.

Check this out!

3. Screenshot 3 - Terminal emulator free with 90 zram

4. Screenshot 4 - removal of 90zram which defaulted to the zram activated in 10b2 99zkernel.

So, zram is working and look at my post #9420 to see SD swap working.

I don't have answers but I do know it takes a phone with 4 processors to even begin to match my smoothness, speed, and now with the addition of disabling vsync my frames (all without tearing). Anyone else have tweaks I can add?

Nar didn't work, already tried that too, kept getting a "410 - Gone" error but did work the first time just was corrupt..

Anyway been mucking around with this, thanks to you and I haven't sussed it completely yet but its great :good: Never tried swap on sd before as I don't want to format my sd card. To test it I have lowered my LMK to a ridiculous level to try make the most of swap, set the sd swap to 500mb but only able to fill it to ~300Mb at the moment but have so many apps open and they are not closing and system is still pretty fast. I have opera moble open with 6 tabs, stock internet browser open with a few tabs, playstore, messages, email, maps and more..

The only problem I am coming across it that when my phone screen goes off for awhile the apps tend to close and my swap contents drops down to ~100Mb. Do you or anyone know a way to prevent this?

If the screenshot is from your SD card swap then it seems terminal emulator is only capable of displaying one swap file (SD card or zram).

you should wait for some circles because the new ROM needs to collect cache and it should affect the battery life

and... you need to charge it to 100% and test battery drain again
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Yeah it's only SD card swap in screenshot I had to enter the command "swapon /sdcard/swap" to activate it properly as I did do things differently slighty while playing round with it. I used 500 in the sdswap.sh script and I notice its a different size in terminal to what you had in your screenshot. When I have some more time I will give it another shot but with ZRAM and see what it displays for me and what results I get also, I also have another idea of doing it but will have to play round with it again. Have you totally disabled ZRAM to see if your SD card swap is being used? If they both do work I'd say they would have to be (or are being) prioritized..
