I would have to check, but on 008b8 it was just fine...

[HTC Sensation] abelrhd:
Thanks mate for help you:) I updated the last binary of supersu. I'll try a logcat to see the process.

[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Yes, actually I checked and I found that there was an app eating all that CPU time, it was call master pro. Great app, but consumes a lot of resources. Do you know if there's a way to use that kind of app but with reduced usage of CPU?
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
Sorry my bad. Realized that init.d has to be activated before the script to control the lights could be created. I wonder why hns didn't come with init.d folder? :o
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
No problem, I have contacted SpIder already a few days ago, he will add an init.d folder on his next release.

[HTC Sensation] fridgeman:
Using yanks latest version and looking at system tuner CPU1 never goes offline now, the phone seems to use whichever CPU it fancies, with both sat at 192 if nothing in use. Is this normal for the new version?
[HTC Sensation] abelrhd:
The faux kernel always keep the dual cores online, I edit the zip file and I see: echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online, where the cpu 1 is the second cpu ;)
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
But as I know it will go offline under special conditions
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
Seems that the ROM influence the settings of the kernel. I mean I am now using ViperSs 1.1.0 and needed to rise my screen off max freq and to decrease my undervolt for keep a stable ROM. On 1.0.1 and Ordroid I was using screen off max freq @ 384 and uv -100. With the same settings 1.1.0 is totally unstable, need to rise @ 540 and uv -75.
[HTC Sensation] abelrhd:
Perhaps the question to better answer yank555:)
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
It should do, did for me when I was testing it out yesterday. Normally goes offline when using es file explorer or xda app I noticed :) it doesn't seem to at first but it does but it easily goes back online...

Would be good if cpu1 went offline if dropped to idle speed for say like 5 seconds :)

[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Using latest ViperS ROM too and fine with 486 screen off for me. Pretty sure stock screen off with this kernel is 540 :)

Sent from my HTC Sensation with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
@486 i don't receive sms, yes stock is @540.
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
Thats what i notice too in 8b9 v2. Both cpu dont stay in 192 if you dont do anything.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Nothing has changed in the scripts, and I don't think in the governor either.

There are 2 things we should not mix up :

1) CPU offline

This is when the CPU core is in deep sleep (it's called offline in System Tuner). Here the CPU core is still visible, but stays in this state to save battery.

2) CPU disabled

Here it's mpdecision or an echo command or ... that tells the CPU core to totally switch itself off, then tools like System Tuner will only show one core, as if there was no second.

Now (1) is normal with faux kernel, (2) is what you see when using mpdecision.

If you now flash several different kernels, you might end up with some kind of mix of both, having mpdecision still active, I can't tell you how it will behave / work out.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] AnatolDv:
+ Yes, 300 it would be good. :good:
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Guys, b9 has a strange behavior, sometime after I turn on the screen, the phone is unresponsive, and I found out that it's the CPU that has the second core offline and never turned on, nor under much load nor even with governor on performance! Here is a screenshot
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
For the problem of responsiveness after turn off your screen can be due to a too low screen off max freq setting. After check if you don't have a corrupted download by checking md5. I am using it right now and don't have your bug.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
In general that is correct bASKOU, but in this case, liek it sounds there is on core totally disabled, I would rather fo looking for some script that disables 2nd core, maybe some rests of the use of mpdecision...

JP.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Nope Yank555, never used mpdecision.

It has to be a bug showing up under certain circumstances only.

I forced now all core online and disabled it right after and for a while it worked fine. But now again I have only one core struggling, because, no matter the load it is one core only. Anyway it seems to behave normally following the rules of the mhz set but, since it's only one core running, at a certain mhz it struggles a lot more, and then it lags.

Hmm, i am back to 008b8 v5, it is quicklier then new 008b9 v2

[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
Still sitting on 008b8. Would like to report:

The phone is still flying

No random reboots

Feels like a factory phone but faster

Gets warm sometimes with prolonged web and facebook browsing with heavy images and lot of transitions but it is expected.

Last night I had 16h48m of battery life with 1h10m of voice and 48 min of screen at 11% remaining on the stock battery. Fantaaaaaaaaaaaaastic!< Russell Peters>

Only issue I have is sense crashes if doing memory intensive tasks, mostly browsing the net and i'm too lazy to install supercharger and really dont feel like upgrading the rom now where it is installed by default.

I love you Faux and Yank. :D No homo.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Very strange ... well I've not tested b9, been on other stuff, maybe something that came with the new Linux base ?

I suppose faux could say more about this ...

JP.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
The Sense UI (aka Rosie) has been buggy even with stock kernel under memory pressure. I have seen this on ALL of my Sense based phones (running stock ROM). Sense is a memory hog, and it doesn't like it when you are under heavy memory pressure. The only think I can suggest for now is to change the auto kill settings so less apps are resident in memory, this way, Rosie can monopolize rest of the available memory to do whatever that "sense" is doing :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Faux the problem I've described above is that one core goes offline and never comes on...
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
if you adjusted the intellidemand parameters with bad values (ie the thresholds), then it could lead to this situation as well...
[HTC Sensation] PeeHoo:
What could be reason that CPU GHz settings is not steady? I changed it for 1,4GHz but now after checking from system tuner it is 1,2 GHz again?

Edit; using HNS
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
You mean the max you set at 1.4 is now 1.2 or whenever you check sys tuner it fluctuates at 1.2? Because its not always gonna b at 1.4, it depends on the amount of load the system is under...

Sent by my feau gee
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Where am I supposed to change those values? In system tuner I didn't change anything, maybe in aroma installer I set something different than stock but honestly I don't remember exactly... So where can I check the parameters leading to that behavior?
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Reflash the kernel but select just generate New scripts at the end....
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
You were replying to me? I meant the values to be set in order to avoid chances of this behavior.

As long as I remember I didn't see any "threshold" setting in aroma, but I can be wrong...
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
With HNS you need to create an init.d folder for Yank's scripts to work. After creating, reflash the kernel tweaks only to rewrite the scripts properly.
[HTC Sensation] abelrhd:
I installed the last kernel 008b9 v2 and I not any problem related with 2nd cpu offline. Do you have wipe cache+dalvik? Do you check the md5? I've this kernel with venom 1.1.0 and running very well :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
On HNS there is no "/system/etc/init.d" folder, so the kernel script cannot be installed :( so you'd be running the kernel in default setting (as compiled).

You need to create that folder and then reflash the kernel, but just choose 'regenerate' on the last screen.

JP.

Edit : Too slow, ianoob gave the right answer already ;)
[HTC Sensation] Iceberger:
+1 (300) only if you get tired of playing with the SGS3 and need to relax... ;)
[HTC Sensation] Pwnzor7:
Which one is better? 008b8 or 008b9? I heard that CPU 1 is always awake for 008b9
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Time for a break, will give it a go ;)

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hi,

OK, so here is the faux 008b9 version of the kernel with GPU OC reduced to 300MHz.

I've also added a updated USB forced fast charge (v3) which now has a additionel sysfs interface file :

* /sys/kernel/fast_charge/is_fast_charge_forced (ro)

* The current force state will be returned in clear text (Yes/No).

(I'M running vipers 1.1.0 and i come from seb kernel 1.5.0)

Another question, way this kernel minimum uV is 800? Stability problem?
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
About 800 I think this is the reason why faux kernel doesn't go under. If you give a deep look at faux defaults value on the kernel you'll see that everything is set to be the most stable possible. This kernel isn't designed battery save at all on it's base, but the governor do the job.

[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Yank, with your 1st version of 8b9, none of my init.d scripts were running. May be the cause of the lag and memory issues?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
What ROM are you on, can't recall ?

ARHD and Elegancia rely on init.post_boot.sh to execute init.d scripts. On other ROMs, it's taken care of from the ramdisk.

If they are not run, the kernel will just behave like a plain 008b9, like if you flashed faux's zip without Aroma, nothing else will happen.

So if there is an memory issue with 008b9, we'll have to wait for faux...

I can neither confirm nor deny the issue, since I've hardly used the Sensation since I flashed the lastest...

JP.
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
I'm on HNS, created init.d folder, running hard swap. With 1.8 I was able to confirm in terminal my swap had values, but in 8b9 I got 0's plus the lag.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
try to delete "/system/etc/init.d/98swap" and reboot, check if it behaves better ?

Also, can you post :

/data/hardswap.log

/data/swap.0.log

Thanx, JP.
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
I have company over and already reflash 1.8. I will revert to 8b9 tonight and post

Edit, 1.8 didn't reactivate the scripts, tried deleting but won't let me even with root access. Are the scripts not writing when re flashing or do I need to use adb?

Also, I do not have a folder in /data for hardswap or swap :confused:

Nandroid here I come lol.
[HTC Sensation] cwk_and:
yes,i experience the same thing too after played those high resolution game.

Free memory fall below 90 and sometimes even 40,than the phone freezed,

forcing me to plug out the battery to reboot.

The problem that currently happen to me at faux008b9 V2

With hardswap disable and zram enable.

I hope it is my wrong impression however i feel that b8 is much smoother than b9.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Wait ...

Is there a file "/system/etc/init.d/98swap" ?

The other two are not folders but files :

/data/hardswap.log

/data/swap.0.log

If you don't have those, then you don't have hardswap working...

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Thanx for sharing. With this setup you're experiencing the lags ?

I've forwarded my conclusion to faux, helps narrowing down the issue.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] bASKOU:
For ViperSs users, the v1.1.0 use far more RAM than other ROM. If you wish to reduce it you already can go in Venom tweak/Misc/MinfreeSetting and choice multitasking Xtreme or Ultimate and you'll free more RAM. For me 008b9 working perfectly, no lag and since b8 my phone have a better behavior in overall.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Don't get me wrong, but if you choose multitasking it will remove the apps LATER out of the ram then with the stock option! With multitasking i got lots of lowmem warnings from the kernel und burst mode leads to freezes.. With stock no problems at all.

Just had a situation where the ram was just about 80 mb free but no big lag and nothing important in the live dmesg i think. ZRAM is enabled.

No, lag was with 8b9, but my swap is still showing 0's after flashing 1.8 on top. Had to Nandroid back to get my swap back

Edit, just to clarify:

Had 1.8 with swap and V6 (no kernel tweaks) working

Wiped and flashed 8b9 Yank v1 and got lag and no swap

Wiped and flashed 1.8 which removed lag but swap still not working

Nand'd back to pre V6 and rerun v6,everything perfect again

Edit 2, I take that back. V6 killed swap :confused: Only chose the start up scripts for zip aligning, cleaning cache, fixing permissions and OOM settings. Is it because the v6 script is the last one ran?
[HTC Sensation] framir:
Also with confing in signature i've same lag and free ram around 90mb with Minfree Preset "Multitaskinh Ultimate". It appened after fews hours of use. Insted after a restart the system is ok.

Thank you for you work and ivestigation! ;)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Can you point to that script so I can have a look what it does ?

If it fiddles with swap, you need to make a decision, either my Hard Swap mod or Supercharger's, but not both !

The Hard Swap mod is not a kernel tweak, it's a Linux script. I just included it in the flasher for convenience (and firstly for myself so I don't need to flash 2 things :cool:).

Ok, I can't check everything, since the script uses files in "/data/V6_SuperCharger" which I don't have, but it changes things that conflict with hard swap (swappiness & lowmemory killer limits).

So i confirm, either Supercharger or Hard Swap, not both ! You can't have 'em all ;)

Who else having issues is using this V6 Supercharger ?

[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Obviously this is because you have your minfrees set at multitasking ultimate. Don't try and argue that there was no lag before because there would have been you just didn't run it long enough.

All you people complaining about lag do realise what setting your minfrees that low does right? It will make sure it keeps most applications you open in the background, thus bringing you down to 70-80mb free ram and causing lag. I can't believe you have your minfrees that low and are blaming it on fauxs kernel.
[HTC Sensation] framir:
I've only change the kernel and before after few days with don't reboot i've no problem.

I've set "multitasking ultimate" because with sd swap it worked very well! Now with latest kernel i've this issue...

Now i try with "multitasking Stock"...

Bye

Also with "multitasking Stock" i've 90 mb free... I'm tring to open few programs... The phone don't fly as before...
[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
How can I adjust these settings? I do not see an option in task manager or in apps.

Honestly, its not even that big a deal. If I could get chrome to not create a new tab every time I open it, this would solve all the problems.
