Can you explain this? I don't understand the issue? I have watched videos and have no issues with it.. can you show me an example or tell me exactly how to recreate the problem...
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
Well, compliments can't be given?

I think he means it, since in our IRC he says also. I think it's the truth. Nothing wrong with telling the truth isn't it?

I think good developers deserve way more compliments on xda. In stead of just grab and go.

And looking to our ROM download counter, i see more then 35000 downloads of the rom, so faux kernel is used that much also. But only few reports on kernel issues (OC CPU related) So kernel can't be bad at all :D

Faux123,, thanks for the real good job done.

Edit: Iam not saying there are bad developers either. Before I get jumped on ;)
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Thanks for the info, but I don't think its random crashes or could be. Anyways I've notice it since v0.1.3 and up. Display keeps phone awake, android os runs (have no clue what it is), and extreme heat. Other than that its fast smooth. Great job, dling 0.1.9 now andgiving it a go
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
I just did and everything is fine here so no strange things here :)
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
It took me some time to come home and make some pictures as for the android screen shot funktion does not show the error.

Pictures are not very sharp, but you might see the problem:

1) Dock widescreen, ok

2) Dock vertical with grid, not ok

3) Video widescreen, ok

4) Video vertical with grid, not ok

to see error on video, activate/press fullscreen mode.

Pictures are allways ok, only videos (i think, dock is also a video) show in vertical orientation of the phone this grid. As android screenshot shows only black screen, i think it is something with kind of overlay in adreno220 driver.
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
this is what internal screenshot does, it shows no 'overlay':
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Which video player was that? what format of video were you watching?

Edit:

I used the dock mode as you did, then I flipped the screen from vertical to horizontal, I noticed the criss crossing video frames for a split second ONLY during the transition, I can't get it to be stuck like yours. Is there a specific procedure or steps you can post here to get to that state?

Technical:

I have updated a LARGE amount of code related to the framebuffers, but I have tested my updates against several test programs (of course, there is NO WAY for me to test for all possible combinations). I encourage problem posts like yours. This will HELP me track down the bugs with my kernel (I just want to make it CLEAR. My

KERNEL is NOT PERFECT

, I MAKE mistakes from time to time and I don't claim to be SUPER HUMAN, unlike

certain developer

who likes to WAY OVER BOAST his puny accomplishments).
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
Internal player (album) of latest build (...73...) ARHD 3.6.0

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

No special procedure, it stucks by itself, no matter how i start it. If i flip phone vertical, it´s there, if i flip horizontal, its gone, if i flip vertical again, it´s there again. If i start dock vertical, it´s also there.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Oh... Hm... I am on HTC TMOUS 4G stock 2.3.4 ROM. I noticed the video player looked different from the TMOUS version that's why I didn't recognize it.
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
having the same problem over here
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
No one wants to blame you, as i said it is not a big thing. Your kernel is still the best for me. As i´m myself being a software-developer (industrial automation / plc), i know that there is no 100% bullet proof software. And i know the importance of accurate error description to catch some errors... ;)
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Hm.. it appears that there are some frame buffer differences between the TMOUS and the latest European version.

The CAF frame buffer patches I adapted and applied should bring the code closer to the "latest" (CAF will ALWAYS be the latest and greatest since all other manufacturers get the code base from them). Also, as with HTC, the higher version number from 2 different branches does NOT necessarily mean it's newer than a lower version number from another branch. I won't be able to do anything now, I am leaving for airport soon. I will try to load the stock European ROM and see what's causing the frame buffer issues.

From above, we can clear see that HTC has different branches for different regions of the same hardware (the phone :( ) It is unfortunate that they don't work off the same master branch. This makes my life harder because now I need to find some dedicated BETA testers who use European stock ROM exclusively ;) in order for me to cover and test for all regions :(
[HTC Sensation] miniterror:
Do you have to bring up those sentences?

If you drop the thing of being the man and needing to have the last word its a contineus fight with words:s

You booth have verry nice kernels and booth have there own benefits.

Some rom devs use youre kernel others use other devs there kernels.

I think if you stop such talk others wont come in here and meddle with youre thread.

And there are no word fights anymore.

Only reading such things makes it more hostile to be on forums.

Its a sad thing to see it happen more abd more:(
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
I've got a question for anyone that knows the answer :L

If I underclock my Sensation to 1.2GHz from 1.78GHz and under volt it, can I under volt it more than at higher frequencies? Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] xyqtt:
If i understand the question correct here are your answers;

Each frequency can be undervolt all depending on your chip. So you have to try it for each frequency.

If you underclock you save more battery, so this has nothing to do with uv
[HTC Sensation] phra09:
Well I just flashed faux 0.1.9 1.56Ghz kernel

I noticed the cpu scaling only have 2 option now, OnDemand & Performance only

Is it normal?
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
Yes, because ondemand is the only one working with aSMP correctly.

And performance of course.
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
The problem is that videos which don't match full screen because their ratio isn't 16:9 when toggle full screen their colors being inverted. Rotate the phone from wide screen to normal make the video shows weird squares.

I can confirm that this problem exist only in your kernel after tried few other kernels.

Do you want me to upload a video to demonstrate this problem ?
[HTC Sensation] evo9mrjr:
what does the thermal patch due for the 1.9 1.56 kernel
[HTC Sensation] superman63:

Can you make output sounds louder like ringtone and so on? Just putting up db?
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
Hi Faux,

Hi, I'm running on ARHD 3.1.1 and faux0.1.9 and I encoutered a problem : when sending texts with pictures inside, my message is marked with a red "!". After this is sent my phone reboots a few minutes after...

That wasn't le case with 0.1.8.
[HTC Sensation] Nightfall983:
I am also having this problem. I'm on stock U.S 2.3.4. On other kernels I don't seem to have this problem.
[HTC Sensation] loliman:
Hi faux,

At first, thanks for your hard work! I recently flashed Revolution HD XE 3.6 and heard about problems with benchmarks, so I just tested it myself. At first I flashed faux 0.1.9 1,5 ghz edition (synchlonous l2 cache) and ran cf bench. My java score, and so the overall score too, had been lower than the score of the sgs2.

Then I flashed 0.1.9 1,7 ghz and clocked my device to 1,52 ghz. I ran cf bench again an noticed that my score is much higher than the sgs2 score now.

I repeated this process a few times with the same options with the same result: score with synchronous l2 cache is lower than without. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Swyped from my HTC Sensation with XE ROM using XDA App
[HTC Sensation] theraver:
Faux, I flashed kernel 0.1.9 1.78 GHz and clocked it at 1.56 Ghz.

My benchmarks are fine now.

1.56 GHz kernel has Sync L2, The 1.78 Ghz kernel does not have this.

Or am i wrong?

Can the L2 cause problems?

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

My benchmarks and speed is low again aargh, going to flash bricked kernel
[HTC Sensation] gururise:
Was this really necessary?? I appreciate the work you do on your kernel, especially the initial work you did to get dual core working good on the Sensation; however, bickering like this only hurts the community and looks immature.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
If users do not care about the technical aspect of the patches being added to their phones, then I won't comment on them and I will just keep it to myself or stop building kernels since as you mentioned I have already laid all the foundations for the sensation kernel. I am now obsolete and you guys now have this super amazing kernel dev that knows everything.

Maybe this is a good stopping point for me. I can spend more time on my atrix project and can relax more with 1 less phone to worry about :D
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
Ah C'mon. We respect your work, just think of the 35000 happy users. Who don't complaint. Please don't stop now.

Your work is highly appreciated man ;)
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
AT&T sucks and Atrix is weak. Ok, Atrix isn't weak, but AT&T does suck. :D

Speaking as someone who has supported both you and "the other dev", I say please don't stop devving for us. My wife's and my own Sensations would be sad with one less talent around here.

I know that we as users can look demanding at times, but just know that there are those of us out there (the silent majority) who truly appreciate what you do.
[HTC Sensation] gururise:
Faux,

You know there are many that appreciate the work you've done on the Sensation kernel. You were one of the first to tackle the dual-core issues, and discover the quirks in the Qualcomm CPU. But there is a difference between posting a changelog and posting what amounts to an under-handed remark. Having said that, I respect the work you've done and hope that you and the 'other' kernel dev can work things out. You both are very talented.
[HTC Sensation] orymd:
New RUU is incoming... Check ARHD thread ;)
[HTC Sensation] Mathias1:
A little OT, but how long does your batteries last with this kernel?

With LeeDroid Sensational and this kernel, I got approx 16h.

And i had WiFi on almost all the time, some texts, a little webbrowsing, twitter, facebook and some Wordfeuding.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
I, for one, truly appreciate you providing the technical explanations. For mobile tech, there seems to be very little documentation and that makes it really difficult to understand EXACTLY what is going on, unless you share, so thank you for sharing that infiormation. Its quite valuable to me, as Im slowly learning how mobile cpus\gpus differ from desktop varieties (in terms of usage, idle, dual core, etc). I've yet to see a kernel dev as knowledgable as you are (at least someone who shares that knowledge) and I (as well as others, whether they know it or not) really appreciate all the work you've put into these Sensation kernels.

I know HTC has totally messed up the 2.3.4 code (especially the GL stuff), and the its clear you have put a lot of time and energy fixing those, along with getting proper multi-core working on these type of devices (Snapdragon dualcore\multicpu).

That being said, I hope you remember users such as myself when frustrated by the whiner, complainers, and "feature demanders". Ive used your kernel on 2 devices (4 different Android builds), and they have consistently been the most stable. Thank you so much for your work and the knowledge you share with the community :)
[HTC Sensation] bfspider:
yup! new kernel inside!
[HTC Sensation] epsix:

I know faux back in mytouch4G when he first release his kernel its the best and still is. Faux, we all appreciates you and all XDA Dev/Kernels.

Thank you

I get wifi "error" when trying to activate it.

anyone else have this problem? I used the most up to date i could find:

HTC sense version 3.0

Software Number:

Android Revolution HD 3.6.0 by mike1986

krtnrl brtdion 2.6.35.14-sensation-faux123-v0.18+paul@ubuntu #117

The latest version of Cyanogenmod CM7 had the same problems. I don't think front face camera worked either.
[HTC Sensation] Nightfall983:
I know I've posted issues that I've had with the kernel, and if I haven't shown my appreciation then I'm truly sorry. Your work is amazing Faux.

I want nothing more than to keep using your kernels (your kernel was the first I ever flashed on this phone.)

The only bug I've noticed with this kernel the video bug in portrait mode (fit to screen).

In a perfect world everyone gets along. I can only imagine the magic all the kernel developers can perform if they worked together.

But this isn't a perfect world (which may actually be a good thing). But no matter what our opinions are, Faux you know your amazing, and you don't need us to tell you that...
[HTC Sensation] Mathias1:
Dunno if it fits here, but my phone shut down, i had to pull the battery to restart and now my Auto Brightness is always on almost full, except for when i cover the light sensor...anyone know anything..?

EDIT: In addition, tonight, I had approx 35% of battery when I went to bed. 2 hours later, the phone wakes me upp, telling me to charge it because there is only 4% left (!!!)

Usually, this period only drains maximum 5% of battery :S

No wifi, no mobile data, nothing. Unless i was playing in my sleep ;)
[HTC Sensation] Step-han:
I think Faux is the 1ste with a new custum kernel for the new RUU!

[HTC Sensation] J.Swalen:
Hi Faux, here is another user that loves your work. It would really be a shame to stop. Whatever other people do or say, remember: it's lonely at the top! As far as I am concerned that is you for sensation!

I have one question you might be able to help me out. I am looking for the tun.ko files for Faux 123 0.19@1.56GHz to setup an open vpn (sometimes it is necessary to bypass the great Chinese (fire)wall :D).
[HTC Sensation] Mathias1:
Does this seem like a healthy battery consumption to you?

The flat area is when I was a sleep (approx 7h). Then it drained 5% and landed @ 70%

Then I got up and went to work. (1.5h ago) and now, as you can see, my battery is at 48% :S

Battery is still falling like a rock..Maybe I should invest in a new battery..?

Edit: Awaketime seems normal and I can't find anything that prevents the phone to sleep..
[HTC Sensation] q9650:
Same here. I thought its the HTCSense Account so i deleted it. But its still draining more as it should on standby...i will test it tonight again to be sure i dindt leave some app running in the background. And im having reboots in standby with 0.1.9 ^^ didnt have them with 0.1.8.
[HTC Sensation] Mathias1:
I don't even use the HTCsense.com.. :/

I'm thinking about getting a new battery...

Stuck in bootloop

Can anyone help me out with a little bump in the road: I've wiped the cache and dalvik-cache, then flashed the kernel, but my phone just gets stuck in a bootloop. I am on 2.3.3 stock ROM and rooted. Can anyone think of a step that I have missed, or another reason that it does not work?

Thanks,

Tom
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Which kernel did you flash? If 1.78 maybe your phone can't handle it and you should try the lesser
[HTC Sensation] SuprTom:
Flashed the 1.56 kernel.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
You need 0.0.6 kernel for 2.3.3 ROMS.

Later versions are either based on 2.3.4 (or hacked to 2.3.4).
[HTC Sensation] Nightfall983:
Yes!!!
[HTC Sensation] SuprTom:
change governor

Is it only ondemand and performance governor that comes along with the kernel? In System Tuner I acn only see those two. Also, when I select Voltage tab there to UV(wrong thinking??) I am told that it is not available. What am I missing?
[HTC Sensation] Forkinator:
Best kernel ever faux. Been using your kernel since arhd was released for the sensation. Thanks for the hard work and expect a donation soon.

Hey faux

Flashed both 0.2.0 kernals & both system tuner & faux clock having problems controlling cpu's.

Cpu 0 is changing freq ok, but cpu 1 is staying on max & settings are not sticking so great. Have also had a reboot on 1.7ghz kernel but it was under clocked to 1.56ghz. Also got super user errors?

Have reverted back to 0.1.9 nohz & all is good in the hood.

Cheers bud.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I haven't seen this issue at all. Make sure you don't have any scripts forcing 2nd CPU online or anything like that. I am using faux clock and have set my CPU freq to 1.188 GHz with both CPU scaled properly.
