Which version of fauxclock should we use? I tried the .72 before and saw alot of lag and instability. (faux kernel v19)

[HTC Sensation] jjrumph:
Faux 123, thanks for the link for faux clock. Loving the 1.72 kernel.

[beta 021]

flashed at arhd 4.1.0 (sense 3.5) - first i have to flash unity 14 camera pack and then beta 021 to get it working (seems a libs problem as before 2.3.3 -> 2.3.4 / faux006->007)

Everything is working but cam slow motion. But this can depend on the dirty trick with unity (i think so).

I generaly i experience a low "over all" score (2nd value) at cf bench, same as with 020. It is half as normal.

Linpack multi thread sometimes have same values as single thread, maybe cpu1 is lazy an sleeping? ;)

video in portrait and landscape is ok, dock also.

Where can I find the zip file?
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
faux when you plug in usb the options of what to chose are missing etc disk drive, charge only & so on. i think i remember this happening on all custom sensation kernels....is it a problem you are aware of?
[HTC Sensation] dwsmith:
I have noticed it happen as well. However, I haven't encounter it with the Unity kernels.
[HTC Sensation] jmwils3:
Ill get on that right away then :) thanks

Has anyone started a thread for a petition to gain signatures for him. Unity in numbers. Maybe have more impact than one on one. Start it. I'll sign it. Or ill open one when I get home and post here and mt4g sec. Anywhere else he is known. He has a fan base

Oh? It works fine on 2.3.3 ROMs... is this an issue with 2.3.4 ROMs?

[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
oh yer must be...im using it on 2.3.4!! however i know by stock it works so must be the patch that is used to make compatible with 2.3.4 roms...interesting. ok guess theres nothing you can do, thanks for the reply!
[HTC Sensation] jmwils3:
I sent a pm to the mods listed above, and ill definitely chime in on your threads. He has work for the mytouch4g, g2x, and sensation4g, so you might post in all of those fora.
[HTC Sensation] dwsmith:
The Unity kernels work fine on 2.3.4. The option of disk drive is available.
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
unity kernel is so buggy tho. this kernel runs very well for me and im hoping someone can fix this problem....trying to check with mike to see if the way he patched the kernel to 2.3.4 could of broke it
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
can you maybe tell me what you have changed in 0.0.6 exactly that we have the real dual core support? Did you managed to start cpu1 when cpu0 is as like 75% load or something else :P

your kernel alone will not boot ? :D my fault im tring mikes version
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
For disk drive mount problems grab an app from the market. Usbmount or something. One was posted in mikes thread by someone.

Prob start a thread for faux here and link to it in other sections.
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
App your looking for is called sd mount
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
That's not a good solution tho because default HTC thing brings together charge only, disk drive, internet tethering and internet pass through....its very good being able to easily switch between those.

But as faux said its not a problem on 2.3.3 so we shouldnt mention it as that's what this kernel is built for
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
look on many threads in this forum you will see that HTC STOCK KERNEL DOES SUPPORT BOTH CORES and works properly, people are getting upset that cpu1 is offline. THIS IS GOOD, it will come on and work when it needs to, also nothing works like it should on gingerbread with multicore phones. When we are able to get ICS on our phones we will be better off.

The problem is that CPU1 does not OC like it should when CPU0 is able to
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
@faux123 if you don't mind I have some suggestions:

1. Is it possible you can change default speed of the kernel to default 1,2 GHz? For some people 1,5 GHz is too much and their device can't handle it. So I think that default 1,2 GHz with possibility to OC manually to 1,5 GHz is better solution.

2. Can you add VR scheduler?

3. Can you look at unity kernel and the way they fixed usb mounting on 2.3.4 ROMs?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
yes i know this ^^ governor wont stick and oc wont apply... so im asking what he changed :D Did he managed to oc and so stick the govenor? But oc and sticking govenor is not the point for me and some DEV´s ;-) Its to load cpu1 in an earlier state ;-) Any news on this faux?
[HTC Sensation] lamecake:
Hi faux! I am using your kernel on baad's ROM (2.3.4) , and its running pretty smooth so far. Loving it :) Cant wait to see what else is coming.. uv/goverors/etc.

BTW mike, i thought i booted it with 1.2 default? Might be wrong tho using CPU master.. :d
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I'm pretty sure I got mine on 1.5 GHz since I flashed it. I installed SetCPU and it was on 1.5 as well :)
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Gotta say kernel runs great, smooth and fast. No more android os. Running latest rcmix.

Quick question display is killing battery like crazy even set on lowest setting, do you know if its kernel or Rom related.

Downloading beta to give it a go
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Thanks for the tip! :)

Do you have anysuggestions for UV?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
The reason I didn't list the UV setting was because everyone's phone is different, so you will need to find that value for yourself.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
OK, thanks. What UV setting are you running at?
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
I use system tuner to set UV, tried the value that can make the phone work without glitches

I tried UV -12.5mV one by one until the phone gets unstable and reboot, then the last stable minimum V can be set, then try play some games, wifi, GPRS, call, then check the boot setting's boot script so that value will be retain upon reboot. But don't worry if you trap into reboot loop, boot script will not applied on unusual reboots.

IMO, setting different clock when screen off isn't necessary, especially when the governor is on demand, a task when running at higher freq by can be completed more quickly than it running at lower freq.

This is what I tested. Phone without any background connection when leaving over night(8 hours), battery uses 100 down to 96 or 97, when having gmail and wheather background connection, usually drop from 100 down to 88~92. The monster eater of battery is GPRS connection, especially when you browsing web.

My stable UV is pressing -12.5 8 times, and that is below:

Hi Faux, I still have issues with MMS : with kernel 0.19 they were sent and my phone rebooted a few miutes after...

This time with kernel 0.20 , MMS isn't sent and my phone reboots...
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
MMS is not a function of the kernel. It is a ROM issue. Talk to your ROM Chef for help regarding your MMS issues.
[HTC Sensation] Step-han:
Hi Faux,

I have download the Faux clock app and use this settings but its very annoying that u always see ''FauxClock has get superuser permissions" I have the latest version of Superuser.
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
I was asking because I didn't changed my rom for a while and I didn't have problems with your kernel 0.18

I will try to update my rom ASAP.

Anyway, thanks for your work !
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Version 2.1 looks very promising :)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Version 2.0 has been running in my phone since yesterday. Phone feels noticeably faster than before (I was on v1.9, and tested Unity as well). No lags, no hangs, no reboots, no bootloops, good battery, perfect graphics, fast data.

Thanks, Faux. Another great job.

[HTC Sensation] jjrumph:
Been using 2.1 Since last night. So far so good.

Smooth, no reboots camera, GPS, wifi. All seems to be working fine
[HTC Sensation] Lozone:
Goto Superuser settings and turn off notifications.
[HTC Sensation] pimpmaneaton:
So I installed 2.0 on my phone and lost my radio, could not get a cell signal. I some people say they first flash unity v14 then faux kernel. I'm on ciredroid 2.4 and have tmous radio 10.14.9035. Do I need to flash unity first and if so where do I find v14. I only see v13 in the op on virtuous rom and mdeejay has posted some camera fixes that included v14 kernel.

[HTC Sensation] Step-han:
Already done it but it is good that the app everytime gets permissons? Set-cpu or Daemon gets only 1 time permissions and its fine.

It don't cost battery in standby?
[HTC Sensation] immunityx:
Stock tmous Rom + 1.78oc
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
The best result of install faux kernel is installing on a custom or stock ROM with stock kernel or with faux kernel builtin, since custom kernels are not the same, just unzip those custom kernels and you'll know why! In simple words, if you install faux kernel on a ROM with kernels other than faux one, you will get unusual results, such above posts mentioned.
[HTC Sensation] Astug:
Does 0.2.0 work on Sense 3.5 ROM's (camera working?)?
[HTC Sensation] pimpmaneaton:
Yeah coredroid already comes with a faux kernel and it is a custom rom. And custom kernels are not in boot.img format to begin with and get built upon install. Sooooooo no go faux 2.0.

Sent from my Sensation Rockin CoreDroid!
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
No, it won't work on Sense 3.5, camera also not working. There are other kernels that can work with Sense 3.5, but without camera, the ROM is useless.
[HTC Sensation] Astug:
Okey, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] The_Hamster:
Can't install this. I get the message "assert failed. write_raw_image"
[HTC Sensation] jjrumph:
Yes I'M using it and the camera works.

now keep in mind I had unity v.14 kernel flashed prior to that. Many say that's the way to get v.0.2.0 working. But that's easy enough to do.

I am underclocked to 1026MHz with GPU I/O fraction set to 50 and it is silky smooth even this low frequency and amazing battery life :D

[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Your beta kernel so far works nice smooth and quick, data feels about the same. Had randomn reboots but might be due to rcmix 3.5 Rom, latest radio, or extreme undervolting/clocking. But stock settings and no ill effects.

Edit: battery life improved. Will try newest beta.

After installing 2.3.4 stock Rom, your latest kernel works beautifully with it. Damn I forgot how smooth the stock Rom was. Kinda sad that some of the custom Rom's do more damage to it then good.

Are freq. transitions supposed to be -1. Seems like the CPU load isheavy had this issuebefore. I'm pretty noob so if someone could explain. CPU stats downloaded fromxda thread doesn't show time in each freq. on this kernel. With bricked it shows time in each freq. Am I missing something? (Personally) :)

Open Beta 021 Build -03:

First I fixed Dual Core CPU Bug for Sensation,

Then I gave you guys Global Under Volt Table,

Now I bring you the next level real INNOVATIONS to Sensation:

http://www.multiupload.com/LUFPYBR3O1

Introducing ZRAM (Compressed RAM SWAP). Even though Sensations 4G has 768 Megs of RAM, but due to Sense UI's successive bloat and GPU RAM carveout, we have usually have barely 100+ Megs of RAM free. ZRAM will add more RAM by compress the RAM content in real time (albeit at a negligible cost of performance). ZRAM is a feature for 2.6.38 kernel (newer more advanced kernel than our 2.6.35 kernel), but I have successfully backported to our 2.6.35.xx kernel.

To enable ZRAM swap:

using terminal or gscript or init.d scripts:

stop mpdecision
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0

Change log below:

Version 0.2.1 (Coming Soon, Official GB2.3.4)

<0>

Added XZ Compression support to 2.6.35 kernel

Added XZ Compression support for kernel image

Added XZ Compression RAMDisk support (boot time)

Added SquashFS support based on new XZ Compression (very high compression ratio File System)

Updated Camera Driver FPS to 120 (mdeejay ;) )

<1>

Used the git implementation of SHA-1 to reduce boot time by 11%

Updated to use CRC32c with slicing-by-8 algorithm to improve EXT4 metadata performance (was causing random freezes)

<2>

Updated qdsp6v2 to block write until buffer is full

Updated trivial bug fix for SMP macro

<3>

Introducing ZRAM (compressed RAM == MOAR RAM ;) )

I have successfully back ported ZRAM from 2.6.38 kernel to our older 2.6.35.xx kernel :D This should alleviate the memory pressure introduced by Sense UI.

Recording full HD video distorted, camera hanging, and reboot, stock ROM. Was fixed after removing the undervolt tweak. :D

[HTC Sensation] Shroomster:
so the label for the kernel is :

[ CFS-OnDemand ] (Mainline Edition)

The File ==> Sensation Kernel 0.2.0 (1.56 GHz Sync L2) <==

Does that mean that this kernel is overclocking the processors to 1.5ghz and all you need to do is install it?

or does the name imply that this kernel will only let you overclock to 1.5ghz?

or will my processor speeds be stock still(1.2), as I haven't messed with them?
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
Anyone knows how to tweak the sdcache automatically or by modify the boot image?

The init.d script doesn't work, because sdcard is mounted after the init.d scripts were run. And modify the boot.img's init.rc with the code below makes a looping boot.

# sd card read speed fix

[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Updated to v.2.1 beta3 and started having major FC issue for Sense and SystemUI. Enabling zram seemed to be related to it, but not 100% sure. Reverting back to v.20 and things are stable again.

Will pull last_kmsg when I can :) Anyone else having similar issues?

su
stop mpdecision
start mpdecision --avg_comp --single_core_while_panel_off

Would you recommend using this over fauxclock's screen off settings?

Edit: Added last_kmsg in a zip as attached file for debugging purposes
[HTC Sensation] mamdouhn:

[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Re-downloaded the file, and reflashed. Seems to be working, and its fairly snappy. Just enabled zram via gscript and will see if I have any stability issues.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
It seems mpdecision was the culprit. it was causing a kernel memory leak. I am using gscript as well. Just add

Stop mpdecision

Before enabling swap.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Ive modified my gscript sh file to disable mpdecision daemon prior to enabling zram (attached as txt, rename to sh, or in zip). Thank faux!
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
BTW, I think I am going to make all my future kernel releases as OPEN beta before I call them official. I am enjoying the feedbacks from you guys. I like lively intelligent discussion on all things geeky esp kernels ;)
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Glad to provide some open discussion :). Worked stable and fast for a while, but then I started getting Sense and SystemUI FCs again. It didnt kernel panic yet so no new log.Ill let you know if I can pull one

EDIT: Market seems to be FCing as well

EDIT2: Added latest last kmsg from kernel panic - attached
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Interesting, none of your last_kmsg alluded to any errors?!?! My own last_kmsg before disabling of mpdecision showed memory allocation error due to unavailable memory (severe memory leaks). Since I disabled mpdecision, I have used web browser and visited many FLASH intensive websites (FLASH == memory hogs) and I have been keeping my eyes on available memory and so far it seemed fine. I also have run many graphic intensive 3D games to also create additional memory pressures to see if the system would falter and so far so good...

BTW, which BP ROM are you running? The 2.3.4 base or 2.3.5 base?
[HTC Sensation] theraver:
I just started to use it instead of oc deamon, and i was wondering if 0.72 is the latest version :). Untill now i don't have prob;s with it
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
The place which shall not be named will always have the latest posted by Romanbb :D
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Running BP v1.4, which is based on 2.3.4. Havent been messing w/ Sense 3.5 (2.3.5) cause its a debugging build and I dont like to test on a buggy base. Its quite strange as the issue disappears entirely when I flash back to v20. Anything I can try to recreate the error that originally occurred? Im not even stressing it when its FCing and panicing, just opening market, pulling down notification bar, opening titanim backup, swiping around the launcher..nothing too resource intensive. Using the enable_zram script that I posted above, seems to b working fine.
[HTC Sensation] theraver:
I know what place you mean :D
[HTC Sensation] johnpatcher:
I'm wondering how to include this kernel directly into a (stock) ROM without the need to flash it separately. I've found some information about replacing the kernel here, however your kernel package seems to have another structure.
[HTC Sensation] Notorious544d:
OK, I don't have the HTC Sensation (I have the Atrix which Faux made an awesome kernel for as well :D). Anyways, was just having a look and noticed:

"Updated Camera Driver FPS to 120"

So the camera can shoot at 120fps?! Can anybody please clarify.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Use DSI's ROM kitchen:

Step 0:

Extract boot.img from stock ROM

Step 1:

start ROM kitchen, then (0) -> (20)

Step 2:

Extract kernel+ramdisk from boot.img (w)

Step 3:

Go to Boot-Extracted folder, replace zImage from my zip file

Step 4:

Build boot.img from BOOT-EXTRACTED folder (b)

DONE. Now you have a new boot.img with Stock Ram disk and my new kernel :D

Isn't DSI's ROM kitchen wonderful :D
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Not sure if the 120 FPS actually works or not. It was a simple code hack, reality maybe different
[HTC Sensation] johnpatcher:
Yes, it is ;)

Thanks for your instructions, trying to get it working. Haven't thought that it would work with the same Ramdisk ;).
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
No issues with the latest beta thus far. Been playing hot pursuit trying to break but no go yet. Will report back

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Update: Received a couple of FC's, like touch input and com.android.phone.

Also, UI and general responsiveness of the device has slowed IMO. Linpack for example is @ 27 using 1.566/384 as my settings. Linpack with V.0.2.0 was closer to 80. Using stock deodexed 2.3.4 with very apps installed.

Update 2: Removing Faux clock helped. Seeing better responsiveness and Linpack scores are back to where they should.
