Allright, next time I'll read, I was comming here because I had read this info in Android Revolution thread, that is already growing 20+ pages everyday that I read, and understood it was not the rom but the kernel

Sorry, but reading 50 forum pages was just too long, next time I won't ask anything.

As for the supposed inefficiency of this overclocking, I still wonder what miracle had suddenly improved N64oid. Note that I don't ask for an answer, I'll spend my night reading instead
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
Yeah beef again ...
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
I tried that ... no change. :(

HELP!!!

[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
It's not that GPU overclocking was inefficient. It's that faux just didn't get around to it this time around because the GPU mechanics have changed with the new kernel. Hopefully I'm doing this right... see post 781.

I'm an avid emulator user too, so I'm hoping he figures out a way bring back GPU OC in the future.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
First of all, let's get things cleared up a bit. I NEVER INCLUDED any libs in my kernel distribution. The previous hacked versions which BUNDLED my kernel are the work of individual ROM developers NOT Mine. Therefore I DO NOT know what was changed in them. READ my OP. I clearly stated hacked kernel bundles are ROM specific and you will NEED to talk with the ROM developers.

As I stated earlier in my thread, I DID NOT change anything related to Kernel EGL code. It is 100% identical to stock version. Try running with STOCK 2.3.4 kernel and see if you have graphic corruption with Stock 2.3.4 kernel. If you do, then it is NOT my problem. It is HTC/Qualcomm who broke them if that's indeed the case. Also posting on my thread saying my kernel has issues without LOG is very RUDE and disrespectful.

Also please check your facts before posting, Unity kernel for 2.3.4 has NOT been released and was last updated on Aug 27. Also as I stated before, there are NO historical data from their github, so there's no way to tell what was fixed. And even if I knew about the fix, the changes, as I STATED EARLIER again, was huge going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, the the "mystical" fix that you claimed Unity knew about would be irrelevant in 2.3.4 kernel anyways.

If you find these things too difficult to accept, no one is forcing you to load my kernel, you can load the stock version at anytime. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
No offense, but if you read my post, I said that when I first installed the JRCU 1.78, everything worked perfectly. The problem I had this morning is unrelated to this installation. It had to do with an app that was misbehaving ... so I restored a previous working copy through Nandroid, one from prior to the whole v0.1.2 installation, but now I have problems.

So, my CPU is more than capable of handling it.

Thanks,

Peter
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
First of all, I would like re-thank you for your work & great kernels. I do understand that the bug was intoduced by HTC in their 2.3.4 upgrade (or iis it a Downgrade?!?)

I was mearly trying to point out that in you previuos work, the bug wasn't their & it came in the new V0.1.2 (which is because it was based on the 2.3.4), but I was hoping you would could have outdone HTC & cook up something of a Hybrid, goodies of 2.3.3 & 2.3.4 minus the crap of each.

!!! I know I make sound like its so simple whereas I am sure you are realy working hard. So, again, I thank for your work & please do pardon me if I ever sounded in any way like I wasn't appreciating your work.
[HTC Sensation] kevsteele:
Faux,

No one is saying your kernel is at fault - HTC broke things with their 2.3.4 kernel.

However, when you upgraded your kernel to base it off the 2.3.4 HTC source, you inherited whatever is causing the graphic corruption in 3D games such as Cordy.

Any kernel using HTC 2.3.4 as the base will have the graphic problem - it's not just yours.

The Unity engine was upgraded for 2.3.3 in the past, and it may need another upgrade for 2.3.4. I'm not having problems with 3D engines used by many other games, such as those by Gameloft, which are all still working perfectly under the 2.3.4 kernel (and your 0.1.2)

What people are asking is that if you have the knowledge to track down and fix HTC's goof, they'd love for you to do it. They're not saying this is a bug of your creation...just that they think you have the knowledge to clean up after HTC and fix their goof.

Kev
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
Faux calm down please... I love your kernel... Just want to make it clear to the others
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
So you are saying that even Stock 2.3.4 kernel has issues with cordy, then HTC/Qualcomm broke their EGL code coming from 2.3.3. As I merged the code, I noticed large amount of changes were done to the EGL drivers, so in the process, they may have introduced new bugs. Unfortunately, Qualcomm IS EXTREMELY SECRETIVE about their chipset information. As I stated earlier, there are virtually no useful documentation on how their chipset works aside from their useless Press Releases.

Can some1 post some dmesg logs when they encountered graphic corruptions? I am super busy @ work, when I have time I will look at it... I just want to let you guys know, I DO NOT know how Adreno chipset works and without proper documentation and info from Qualcomm, it would be very difficult for me to fix this particular issue. I will look at CodeAuroraForum (aka CAF) to learn about the changes.
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
The problem here is that Faux is not a magician, even though he plays one on TV :)

The easiest and best way to look at this issue is to launch Cordy while your device is hooked up to your computer and run both a logcat and dmesg. The logcat will access the ROM and dmesg the kernel. Post those here for Faux to review. It's that simple. Then we can determine (hopefully) the root cause of the issue.

Update: I'll post the logs in a moment
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
@faux123

1. Awesome work, loving the kernel :D

2. Yes it was the 2.3.4 update that has broken the 3D engine - HTC broke it
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
The truth was, I was slightly annoyed by your earlier post. You should have posted additional information like stock 2.3.4 kernel also experiencing the same graphic corruptions... And also compare my kernel to a non-existent kernel also annoyed me.

Now I am over it :p
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
I think its a trick from HTC to force developers to optimize their games for the sensation
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hardswap cannot work, you have one big FAT32 partition using all of the card. If you want to use hardswap, you need to repartition the card, making a smaller FAT32 partition to make room for a Linux swap partition.

Having free space in the FAT32 partition is not important, you would need unpartitioned space.

[HTC Sensation] chesterx1:
Thanks Yank, I kind of realized the same thing once I saw the numbers. I have s 32 g sd card I could make several partitoins on and my apps are backed up with a flashable zip file. Do I need a FAT32 at all?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well ... that depends on your needs, technically I'd say you phone will work without, but on the other hand, to flash a ROM / kernel / mod, you need to put it somewhere your recovery can get hold of it, and that is the FAT32 partition.

I'd say think about how much swap you want, and create a FAT32 partition of the size of your card minus the swap you want, and add a Linux swap partition as second partition.

Be aware that doing so you will lose all the data currently on your sd-card !!

JP.
[HTC Sensation] chesterx1:
so I repartitioned using ext4. It automatically set the fat32 size and then my 1st ext4 partition was limited to 4g, I made a second of 4g and the swap file. Used your utility and all seemed to go well. Lost some data but all recoverable. It was time to cleanup anyway. Now when I go into Diskspace I have the 256 swapfile and I have 5g on sdcard but it doesn't show 2nd partition??
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
You in fact don't need those two other partitions (well that is my educated guess in your case), just repartition and use "0" as size for sd-ext and sd-ext2 since you don't want those, your FAT partition will thus be bigger.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] chesterx1:
you were correct sir, thanks

Hello...I'm running 10b2 for a few days (~2 or ~3) and today I noticed some lag. My settings are really conservative, I think. Anyway, went to view a website on Chrome and everything froze. Logs attached. Was wondering if there was something I did wrong???
[HTC Sensation] chesterx1:
Battery savers, any value to using? With all the kernel configurations and using HNS what is left to control to increase battry performance? The only thing I see is turning off wifi automatically on a no signal detect and auto increase of scan interval. Any thouggts or suggestions?

Yank with last 10b6 my phone seems to drain much more battery when on wifi than 3g data. My ap is close and at max signal. But in a night it drained 12% while screen off and wifi on. It's a lot, usually it drains not more than 5-6...
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Difficult to say, I don't use my Sensation on a daily bases ... but I don't see what in the kernel changes would generate this ?

Anyone can confirm this ?

How was the awake / deep sleep during that night ?

[HTC Sensation] tikis45:
yeah i can confirmed that...the battery drain is like Amazon....i am back on b2...working much better

Hi Yank,

SD Card was not removed at anytime. Back outer housing cover was attached thus the SD card was not accessible. Something in the log files that suggest that the SD card was removed at some point? Hmmm...that would be strange.

I have never tried to remove the SD card while the phone is powered on. The swap partition is on the SD card. Since I have hard swap active, I assumed that it wouldn't be a good idea to remove the SD card while the phone is powered up.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
You thought right, bad idea to remove it with hard swap ;)

Well I saw in the logs, think lsat_kmsg, that shortly before the reboot it looked like the card was inserted !?

[HTC Sensation] uniteddiamonds:
Not sure if this will help, but I pulled the logs while the screen was frozen. So, I didn't have to reboot in order to pull the log info. Plus, I didn't see the phone reboot at all.

The last logs might very well show the SD card being unmounted and mounted. A few days before this latest event, I did mount the USB storage and file transferred some files. That didn't work very well, so during that time, I did reboot. Since that last reboot, the phone was consistently powered on for a couple of days before the screen froze.
[HTC Sensation] daredevil_off:
I can confirm that, too. In my case it is much more than 15% in 8 hours. At first, I thought it was wireless interference, so I've tried different channels on the router, namely 1,6 & 11.

But I don't think it is on deep sleep, I haven't changed anything, apart from setting max screen off freq to 432 MHz.

I will provide logs asap, but not before than tomorrow.
[HTC Sensation] ObiWan_C:
The phone had only 8 minutes of deep sleep this night. According to the kernel tuner app.
[HTC Sensation] martimo:
Hello, i'm using 10b2 and I use "clocksync"......and every day it shows a offset of 1 or 2 seconds.....after a few days without synchronizing there is a offset up to 10 seconds.....is there anything I could do against this offset? It sucks to synchronize every second day....or do I have to live with the situation?

(My desktop computer has the same problem -.- )
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Lack of deep sleep can be just as much app related, than kernel related ...

So you have a wakelock, can you try to track it down using BetterBatteryStats (available free on xda) ?

You need to set this in your /system/build.prop file :

ro.htc.framework.screencapture = false

It should be "true" in your case, so just set it to false (maybe reboot) and it should be fine.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Freshi87:
Thanks for your very quick response.

I tried the reboot with 4ext fast reboot...maybe that was the fault...

Since it's framework related, a hot reboot should have been enough after changing that parameter.

It was the kernel for sure. Got no locks from BBS and after going back tp b4 the deep sleep started working again.

Hopefully faux has a clue, I don't see what it could be ... will keep my Sensation powerd on overnight and give you the details how that goes.

JP.

EDIT :

To be on the safe side I reflashed 10b6 Aroma with my usual settings (see my sig.).
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Test done, here are my results of the overnight standby with mobile on, bt on (not connected) and WiFi connected.

Started off at 97% (starting at 100% would wrong the results, the Sensation is well known to stay at 100 for a while, I wanted proper readings, well as propper as the Sensation allows for).

8+h standby with WiFi connected took 6%, 97% -> 91%.

I can't say that this is a bad result, i think that is just fine ... so b6 doesn't drain, and doesn't impeed deep sleep from my point of view !?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] daredevil_off:
Thank you for your effort. One thing is interesting for me: wifi drains 41% of the battery if you don't touch your phone. It is huge, right?

my phone was airplane mode during the night, but i see too many wake times. Here the screenshots + last logs using Untouchable's tool.

ps: it seem ok with this wifi network! but this network is isolated, so there is no interference at all. problem starts with interference and this is something new.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well WiFi looks huge because I booted the phone and let it rest, so 41% of the 6% went into WiFi.

If you have your phone waking too much, in airplane mode, then it's most definately app related, which wake your phone ... but that not easy to chase down.

I'll reboot my phone and put it in airplane mode ans report tonight (time for work now), but should be way less drain.

Yank, plz try the same with b2... Here with b2 no problems, so if everything is the same beside the kernel I cannot say it's something app related...
[HTC Sensation] daredevil_off:
I also aggre with that it's app related. i've to find a way to find the app which cause so much wake. but still, there is no new app!

One more observation: This also has started with setting the max screen off frequency to 432 MHz. Can this be related about that?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Don't think so, that's the setting I've been using for a very long time now...

For today I'll test airplane mode on b6 (can't change it anyway, I'm at work, phone's in that state at home ;)).

I can test it on b2, but if b6 behaves fine on my phone, I don't think technically there will be an any better result on b2 ??

But I will try, it's no biggie ;)

JP.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
I think that a more "scientific" experiment would be to misure not the drop in the percentage but the drop in the mV...
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
In essence it's the same, since % are calculated using mV ... but may be interesting to check both...

But in any way, it needs to be over a longer period (several hours) and not starting at 100%, as reporting at 100% is bad on the Sensation, so I guess mV are rather stable at full charge (but this would need to be verified).

OK, this was my over the day consumption in airplane mode over almost 12h it went from 89% to 77%, losing 1% per hour average.

Waketimes as you can see are inexistant, so deep sleep was quite perfect I'd say.

I will now flash 010b2 (300) as asked, at leave it in airplane mode overnight.

Yank take a look here please
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I heard you already ;) But here the issue was to know how long the phone RAN, I suppose it was about 10 hours, but can't tell for sure.

Let the phone charge, I'll use it a bit to get below 100% (anyway, since I believe mV won't be changing much at the beginning, so not telling much truth either).

Then I'll have a clean starting point, will record mV and % and let it rest in airplane mode over night and report mV and % in the morning.

What should I be seeing ? Looks consistent to me at least.

If it's the "only" 30Mb free you see you're worried about, Android reports free memory in a different way than Linux, and you're looking at the Linux "free" info.

Anrdroid considers memory pages used as cache to be "free-able", thus free, Linux sees as free what is not used in any way.

Check "free", "DiskInfo" and "Android Settings -> Applications manager -> Running".

On my S3, DiskInfo shows 39Mb free, while Android says 204Mb free ...

You're using both zram and hardswap. While this technically is working, I'm not really convinced it is a good setup, but that's just me, I'd either use one or the other, but not both at the same time, especially with hardswap having precedence over zram, setting the "slower" swap in front of the "faster" swap.

It might be a good idea for you to have a read at my hardswap FAQ here. This is from my S3 hardswap thread but almost everything will apply here (except the internal sd stuff which the Sensation does not have obviously).

Then tell me what you'd like to has as setup and we will get you there ;)
