[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Slightly confused. Mine seems to be running slightly warm with the file deleted. Don't think it's anything to worry about but curious about your post. I wonder if we could change the values to resolve the issue? Everything is running great it just gets warm quickly
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Thanks baadnewz!

I'm flashing your modified kernel right now.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Thermal Throttling Daemon is a user space process. It is not controlled by the kernel. The kernel provides the thermal zone readings to the daemon. In the Dev-Info discussion thread, I mentioned about power management has its hand in the total CPU frequency control scheme a while back. I could simply fake the readings from the kernel to the thermal throttlers, but that means all other programs relying on the kernel to get the temperature readings would be skewed also. Not a good solution.

Thanks, you have done quite a bit for educating the users.

As mentioned from above, the kernel is behaving correctly, but the thermal throttling daemon from the user land is telling the kernel to slow down due to heat accumulation. The Tegra2 systems uses Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS), they don't bother with CPU governors at all. Their power management seemed to be a lot more efficient than what's present for the Qualcomm snapdragons. The aSMP design seem to have issues with thermal management, so the additional user space daemon is there to prevent the chip from overheating. I have seen AVS (automatic Voltage Scaling) code in the kernel, but it's missing some key source code. It seemed HTC/Qualcomm pulled the AVS from production at the last moment. Maybe they are still working on it, so in the mean time we are stuck with this less than ideal solution.
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
when i said delete the file, i was talking with the user above me, i know the file is from rom, not from kernel

sorry if i was misunderstood
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
No, you were quite clear and no misunderstandings at all. It is quite good that you investigated the thermal throttling daemon and found differences between the ROM baselines. It seemed some of the configurations for tripping the thermal throttler is set quite low, one could edit those settings a bit to allow slight heat accumulations for better performance but still have the throttler active to prevent melt down.
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
For this it would be helpfull to have an app which shows the sensor0 temp.

So we can adjust the entry & clear levels

It can´t be the standard (battery) temp!
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
GPU overclocking??? omg this is so awesome!

We need watercooling soon :P great job man!
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Thanks for the explanation Faux.

So....should we stick with your orginal v0.1.0 or baadnewz's modified version?
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
my "modified" version mostly addresses 2.3.4 roms. if you are on 2.3.3 rom you should use the one provided in op

if you are on a 2.3.4 rom you are kinda of obligated to use my "mod" since default won;t boot

here is v2 of my "mod"

Hi,

I am not sure if mike would use a beta in his ROM,until it was fully tested and final.

[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
Just installed faux kernel that comes with ARHD 6.6.3, comming from latest SebastianFM. Seems to be working ok so far, but the temperature reporting is totally wrong. I have a temp reading of 14 deg. celsius now when in the house is 21 deg. I know this kernel is really cool, but... :o

When charging I was using the phone and I had a reading of 24 deg. I measured the temperature with a digital thermometer on the bottom of the phone, next to the buttons and it showed 42 deg celsius. That is on the phone surface.

Anyone else having this problem ?
[HTC Sensation] Astug:
Yeah, I've noticed this aswell. When checking the temps with SetCPU they always seem unusually low. It doesn't seem accurate.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
The temperature reported by SetCPU is the Battery Temperature which is much lower than the CPU temperature.

If you use OSMonitor App from play store, you can see the kernel dmesg log where I will print out the actual CPU temperature every 20~25 seconds (you can also use SystemTuner under CPU tab to see the CPU temperature).
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
I know is the battery temp, but is reported wrong. Just hours ago I was on SebastiaFM and I had normal battery temp readings, after reflashing ARHD and choosing faux kernel, battery temperatures are reported 15-18 deg. Celsius lower. Just what I noticed.
[HTC Sensation] giuzy/1991:
which version should I use for sense 4?
[HTC Sensation] Marioaguado:
Hello I upgrade to ARHD 6.6.3 and choose Faux kernel for the first time and I'm more than happy, I have some questions:

1.- which governor have by default?

Because system tuner widget shows on demand.

2.- can I use system tuner to choose the fantastic intellidemand, and to set to remember this even on restart?

Thanks to all of you.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
It's supposed to be intellidemand. If system tuner is showing ondemand then change it to intellidemand, reboot and see if sticks.

I've seen quite a few people with the same governor thingy in the new release of

ARHD. Have you superwiped? if not, were you using faux with intellidemand prior to flash the new ROM?
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
It should be Intellidemand but there may be a file in /system/etc that could be changing it to ondemand.

It would be called init.qcom.post_boot.sh (pretty sure thats right) and you could either rename it to disable it or open it and edit out the lines regarding ondemand. At least, that is what I have read from several people.

[Arhd 6.6.3] [5b3]

Hey faux123,

Some minor feedback. I use a Philips fidelio speaker dock as my bedside alarm clock. It is an ok dock but it annoyed me I had to connect through Bluetooth using the fidelio app (which is not great) and not directly using ics. Since your Bluetooth updates I can now connect directly with the speaker. Thanks a lot for the work. Great job.

[HTC Sensation] :
Is anybody else having problems with losing their ringtone/notification sound settings? I never had trouble with it before, but it seems like this is something new to v5b3.

With the phone as stock, I would lose my notifications on reboot and the problem went away as soon as I started playing with non-stock ROMs and kernels. But now it seems like I'm randomly (silently) unmounting my external SD card when the phone sits idle, because when I go to reset my sound settings, the files on the external SD don't even appear as choices until I view the card via ES File Explorer.

Running Prime 5 ROM with v5b3. I'm going to roll back to v5b2 (or earlier if I have to) to see if I can get the problem to go away. I also just tried ejecting removing and re-inserting my card to see if that does anything.

Is there any other information that would be useful to provide after I notice that my sounds have gone away?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Try this as a workaround
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
This issue has nothing to do with kernels, u had the exact same issue on b2, u probably just didn't notice it.

Please guys, stop blaming every little hiccup on a kernel update. Very specific issues occur when kernel related, something that sw-based / rom -based literally is completely unrelated to kernel. Read the kernel explanation on the OP.

If it's rebooting, u find last kmsg files, freezing, wifi or bt not turning on, etc..... Those are possibly kernel related or module related.

If your alarm is acting weird, rosie keeps fcing, apps fc, or anything along those lines (clearly software issues), backup and install your rom from scratch. It's most likely a rom issue.....

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] :
Um, no. This is something new. Within a couple/few hours of setting my sounds, they're all completely wiped out from my settings, and my external SD card is sometimes (about half the time) "missing" until I try to access it using ES File Manager. I would have noticed it if it was happening.

It may not be the kernel; I have no idea what part of the firmware/software/etc is responsible for what, which is why I asked. It may just be coincidence that it started the very same morning the I installed v5b3, but the fact remains that this is when the problem started.

I wasn't accusing anyone of anything, but just wondering if my experience was isolated (which would indicate that something else is wrong with my phone and its software) and if anyone had any suggestions.

possibly, I'm no expert :D So does Sensation Kernel 004 come with beats?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Beats is a part of the ROM,NOT the kernel.

Whenever you flash an XE ROM,you should have Beats.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Anti_simlock:
ok thanks a lot for the explanation. one more thing: it seems like this is a kernal update only, because I can't seem to find any ROM files to download. So can I install this kernel on ARHD 6.6.3?

cheers
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I am assuming you have ARHD XE already installed.

Download kernel 005b3,

then,make a nandroid backup,

wipe cache and dalvik,

then,flash the kernel like a ROM.

:)
[HTC Sensation] :
Looks like it was a bad installation the first time.

Just to start simple, I installed v5b2 last night and things were fine overnight (no loss of sound settings on reboot, no loss of sound settings when idle). Then I installed v5b3 this morning, and so far so good. *fingers crossed*

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
I still have some reboots, but no last_kmsg to explore...

It happens at random, when idle, when I'm calling some one, when I'm lauching an app...
[HTC Sensation] Astug:
When the phone is idle, CPU1 is offline and CPU0 is locked at 594MHz max freq, correct? And this is build in to the kernel, has nothing to do with intellidemand, right? Just curious, because I prefer using ondemand and I'd like to know if I have to make a profile for screen off or not. Thanks.

[HTC Sensation] bryanlim05:
i've noticed that everyone has had great battery life with this kernel. i seem to be getting pretty bad battery life on light to medium usage. 30 mins of voice call, 1 hour of screen on time watching a few videos and screen brightness set to 10-20%. i do not have any apps installed to control the kernel (system tuner, setcpu, etc) no UV, did not touch any settings after flashing v004 kernel.

ive also noticed that i have "Android OS" using up 16% of my battery. should it be this high? ive tried going back to the stock kernel and "Android OS" returns back down to 2% but the battery life is still as bad maybe even worse.

p.s. i'm on ARHD 6.6.2

[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Hi,

I've ben running the latest beta, v005b3, for a couple of days and I love it. I'm running the kernel at 1.18Ghz with the "tuned" Intellidemand as explained by Faux a couple of pages back and the kernel is rock stable and fast. The only thing which I'm experiencing is that I sometimes have a lag when unlocking the phone. However this is just a couple of seconds and after this everything is just as it should be.

As for the battery life: the best I've got is approx 32 hours on average usage.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Only final versions are posted in the OP. You need to search the thread if you want an specific beta version.

V. 005b3 is indeed posted here, in faux's twitter and rootzwiki.
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
Thanks a lot faux for the kernel.

Been running it for a few days now, and with a little UV it has increased my run time from ~11H to >14H with >2H screen on time.

Makes my phone a lot more enjoyable to use now that I don't have to worry about charging until late into the night.
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
How much uv did you do?
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
I pretty much followed the table posted by show-p. Just lowered the a few by an extra step in system tuner.

too bad it needs to be reset on reboot though :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
how many steps did you lower by?

it won't stick iwth system tuner pro.

i update it using the init_post_boot.sh

[HTC Sensation] kelz20:
This ROM was okay. Honestly not the best I've had but I liked having the potential of having a 1.7 GHz Dual Core processor, however, my phone and this ROM didn't agree too well. I really did like the potential I saw in this ROM though.

ahmmm this is not a ROM... it's the Kernel used in the ROM

You meant kernel right? Because this is not a ROM. Wrong thread?, maybe. I cant see how people could be dissapointed of intellidemand:D i just love it.
[HTC Sensation] papikev:
Hi all, I am running hypernonsense v2.4 with faux kernel 005. I am considering using setcpu to use along with it. I am looking to see if anyone, through practical experience has suggestions for me on what settings would work best for speeds, yet also good battery life when not in use as I am just trying to learn more and understand the workings of it as i am completely new to understanding setcpu.I've been reading alot so if anyone might have some suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Loving your work by the way, thank you.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

As far as I can understand it,you do not need ANYTHING to run it.

If you leave the kernel alone,Intellidemand does EVERYTHING for you.

No need for System Tuner,SetCPU,or anything like that.

:)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
The only reason to use SetCPU to change any defaults is if your phone is unstable at 1.5Ghz. If your phone is running ok and stable, then anything you do to control this kernel externally will actually make performance and battery usage worse.

What makes this kernel different is the fact that control of the CPUs, GPU speed and thermal management are all built in. The new governor (Intellidemand) uses much more intricate monitoring protocols to match CPU control to real-life situations. It can tell the difference between browsing and gaming!! You will not improve anything with different parameters.

You can use SetCPU to overclock to 1.7 but you will not get noticeably better performance and battery life will suffer.

So, short answer -- leave it alone. If you must meddle, there are other kernels.

If you just want flawless performance and excellent power management, stay with Faux.

P.
[HTC Sensation] papikev:
I have learned something new. It performs great. No need to change and I am glad I asked. Thank you for your time and counsel. Faux kernel is running perfect. I appreciate it, thanks guys.

[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Welll, when it comes to 3D gaming the term "flawless" is debatable though :( anything like Dead Space or Shadowgun was painfully choppy on Intellidemand (and yup, I'm aware of how to perform a clean install).

When it comes to battery life though, this kernel delivers and then some.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
I believe you. I've never played a game on my phone. It's my communication/information/social interaction center.

So, if your phone is a phone, this kernel is flawless. If your phone is a tiny portable PlayStation, well it isn't. Personally, I have enough ways to waste time without beep booping.

[HTC Sensation] belblade:
but how do you do this without using system tuner or something similar ?
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Do you have root explorer?

if so navigate to the file: 'sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor'

open it with the built in text editor and change 'intellidemand' to 'ondemand'

then do the same with: 'sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor'

Alternatively run these commands through terminal emulator:

echo 'ondemand' > sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

echo 'ondemand' > sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor

To change it back just do either of the methods above but replace 'ondemand' with 'intelidemand'
[HTC Sensation] belblade:
thanks!

strangely, it was still set to ondemand even though i removed system tuner (and set it to intellidemand before doing so)

are there any other files that can overwrite that setting from somewhere or is it just those 2 files i need to worry about?
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:

What would be the best way to toggle ro.secure=1 in this kernel?

I'm trying to get the Sky Go app to work, which has a few checks to stop it working on modded devices.

OS /device - modified apks have been made available by the community

ro.secure=1 in the kernel
[HTC Sensation] pnxsinned:
Solved it, used the wrong version!

Many thanks for this kernel, it keeps getting better and better!
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Hmmm, pretty sure it is just those two files that control the governor. unless you have some sort of script in system/init.d that is resetting these on boot. i know system tuner can leave scripts behind if you chose to set frequencies on boot with it.

Hey Faux, my phone is on HyperNonSense 2.4 and there's two things that won't work that I know of: USB connection to the computer and Wifi. Now I've switched between SebastianFM and your kernel, SebastianFM does work, your's doesn't. Just to be sure I downloaded the kernel v005b3 twice and both times got 0AB97610905AED2EBCF288011BDC3E9C as md5 hash. Attached is the dmesg.log in a zip container.
