Hi,

I just flashed faux kernel/yank555 1.91

192/1720 MHz - screen off 594 - phase 1.02 GHz.

Most interesting is that a made a swap partition so enable zram and active hardswap... This is just amazing how it behaves... Smoothness and responsive.

Swappiness "100"

Hi yank.

I read the faq, it makes sense so I flashed new script z99 kernel w/o zram.

Now running ... Still smooth. I have to correct the Sig.

Thanks mate.

Hi,

Here's the AROMA installer version :

* If you want to download 008b10 and 008b10v2, they are still available in my secret bat cave.

* If you want to download 2.01, it is still available in my secret bat cave.

I have not had the time to test this, so be carefull and report back if it works fine ! Thanx !

Remember, Nandroid is your friend, always backup your system before flashing !!

Enjoy, JP.

Forgot to include Elegancia init.d support

After installing b10, I lost init.d support. I had it in b8.

Checking the files the zip file the init.post.boot.sh is missing the code below for elegancia, only has the ARHD

target=`getprop ro.ident`
case "$target" in "Android_Revolution_HD")

I tried this latest b10 (coming from b8) and the extreme lag came back as soon as I started browsing the internet. Noticed that RAM had dropped to about 88 MB. Device would freeze for seconds at a time as I tried to return to the home screen and run other apps. Reverting back to b8 made the lag go away. Dmesg log file attached

[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Guys, b10 is less laggy but not totally lag free. I installed it without zram, at the beginning it has about 130 mb free but after a while it goes down till 58.

Lag is better but sometimes it's there. I noticed that now the freq sometimes is stuck at 918 for a while and in this case, until (it takes a while) it's scaled up without this odd limit, it remains quite laggy although a bit more usable than b9 (that took forever to regain the normal control of cores and freq).

I think that now should be investigated the issue related to this strange stucking freq and the poor ram available. Anyway much better than b9.

OK guys, I now went into this lag thing the hard way :

1) Flashed ViperS 1.1.0

2) flashed 008b10 (no hardswap, no zram)

3) set LMK to multitasking ultimate

Started apps leaving them with the home key (leaving them running in the background).

I have huge lag. I went so far that even the notification tray has been killed by LMK...

But that is as obvious are driving a car into a wall, just to check if that might mess it up :D

Will retest with stock LMK setting...

[HTC Sensation] PeeHoo:
Hmm... b10, viper1.1.0. Multitasking tweak, swap, no zram -> lagging like a hell. Back to the 8b8 everything ok.

There is no disabling cores in faux, cores stay enabled, but get put into deep sleep... been answered lots of times already, and in the last few pages as well.

OK, same test, with "Stock" LMK settings --> NO LAG !!

Try to keep LMK settings to stock and see if you still get lags...

Changes in memory management may be more sensitive to the LMK settings sine Linux 3.0.39 ... ?

And use hardswap rather than zram, so you have more RAM for your system, Sense 4 will be very gratefull for it and take it away without asking questions :D

Hi,

I now tested this setup :

I opened all the apps I had at hand, more than when I managed to get the lag, everything running smooth.

[HTC Sensation] SiliconBug:
Running ViperS v1.1 w/ FW 33.

I still meet lag / low memory situation (less than 100MB RAM) at b10, so I decide to give hardswap a shot.

I use a SanDisk 16GB card, which is R6W4 in AnTuTu. Create a 512MB swap partition and no ZRAM. I can still feel a little bit lag when I start some apps (read from swap maybe?), but far better than without swap.

Will try swap with other kernels later. :)

Last thing before that. Camera was used and left on and screen blocked. When unlocked I felt the lag. Is not too much but noticeable though.

You don't happen to have SetCPU installed ? If you do, could you post the "governor" page so we could see the details how the governor is configured when this happens ?

Boy, I hate throwing a monkey into the wrenchwoks here, but...

I know binary is the same between Faux B10 and aroma version, yet my phone runs fine when kernel is flashed conventionally, and massively lags using aroma installed version.

Am in and out all day, will try to pull some logs this weekend.

I just installed system tuner to help troubleshooting but I didn't have it when lag and stuck freq happened.

So few things. Sys tuner days that I have oc daemon. But I didn't installed any and I haven't heard of it in Elegancia. We may asked Steve.

The governor was not shown as intellidemand , so here the screenshots.

Then I will post a log from sys tuner and 99zkernel

Hmm, version 10 tested, it is going in lag, if i using a big application such like a browser. This application needs 65 mb ram and so the internal ram fall under 96 and Rom lag...

Now i am back to version 8 v5, this is lagfree...

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
OK, first things first, you need to delete the file "90zram", since that will actvate zram, no matter what, and that will "steal" ram from you. So even if you say zram = no in Aroma, zram will be activate anyway, I can't control the other startup files. But I saw that you activated zram anyways in Aroma Install.

Second, if the governor is not Intellidemand, who / what changed it ??

Third, SetCPU has a nice screen that gives the inner settings of a governor, not just its name, it's really helpfull, but I understand that if you haven't bought SetCPU, that you'd not buy it just for this test ;)

Fourth, can you please post the file "96Tweaks", I'd really love to know what's in there...

Thanx, JP.

[HTC Sensation] klothius:
As far as this lag thing goes, linux 3.0.39 brought some memory changes and for myself I'm really liking how it's working right now as finally I can have more than 2 apps running at the same time with the browser on a page with a lot of pics and in general, a lot more apps can stay in memory than before. I remember the day that I got this phone, I was like wtf...my old htc magic with 288MB of ram can have bunch of apps running at the same time and this beast at the time 3 to 5 if I'm lucky (the 2 being phone and messaging that are almost always running).

The problem is that anything below 100 megs of ram (I can even dare to say below 120 if you want completely smooth ride) and phone starts lagging...the less free ram, the more lag ofc (although I can say that the lag is drastically reduced with low mem than before - before it was like hell on earth, now it's only visible when going back home and sometimes when opening some apps).

So it is because of kernel changes, but it's not the kernel that is at fault here. It's just "respecting LMK values more correctly".

So the only thing you need to do to "fix" this is to ask your rom developers to up the LMK hidden app value to ~100MB and up the values for content provider and empty app accordingly or change them yourself.

Or faux could change the default values in kernel, so any rom that doesn't mess with LMK values can behave "correctly".
[HTC Sensation] Rumball:
Interesting, I'll give it a shot. So what LMK values would you recommend for hidden, empty, and content provider?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Nod ^

The problem with LMK value is NO MATTER what I set as default in kernel, they can be EASILY CHANGED by all these so call "optimized" scripts.... LMK value is NOT meant to be messed with, yet so many users applying them WITHOUT KNOWING what they meant or do to the system.....

I am convinced "The LAG" is caused by MISSED CONFIGURED LMK value. You should ALWAYS have approximately 90+ megs free for Android to behave properly (Esp with Sense UI... it is a MEMORY HOG). Anything below that threshold, you are SIMPLY asking to be LAGGED. I have been running my Sensation for 3+ days and I have NEVER encountered any lag.

I am MOVING FORWARD and will NOT look at "the LAG" issues unless someone post a LOG that show exactly where my kernel has bugs/issues.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
That's really sad to hear.. posted lots of logs the last days and spent lots of time for that and got no feedback. I am using stock settings for the lmk, nothing changed expect the kernel version. So I will have to stay with 8b8 or something other..
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I've read ALL the logs posted on my thread and I have NOT seen any errors caused by the kernel itself.

LMK values and CPUFREQ values can ALL BE EASILY changed by other apps / scripts.

Yank555 has been asking people to post their scripts because the LOGs simply DID NOT show ANY ERRORS caused by the kernel itself. So unless there's a concrete proof that there's a BUG in the kernel (ie a LOG that show EXACTLY why it lagged), I still blame the apps/scripts.

Linux 3.0.39 was APPLIED TO ALMOST ALL of my kernels (SGS2, SGS3, Galaxy Nexus, HTC Amaze) and NONE of other users complained about LAG at ALL... so I am NOT CONVINCED that the kernel 3.0.39 is the culprit.
[HTC Sensation] PeeHoo:
From where that 90zram file is located? And did I understand right. When I downgraded my kernel from 8b10 to 8b8 and I tested also zram for fun it will be activated even if it haven't activated from aroma installer when installing 8b8?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
BTW, forgot to mention. Unless you are RUNNING 100% pure STOCK ROM from HTC, the "default" LMK setting is suspect. Custom ROMs can EASILY change their "default" setting to something less than optimal... So just because you DIDN'T touch anything does NOT mean someone else hasn't either....
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
No, that file "90zram" was not generated by my script generator / Aroma installer, it has either been put there by :

- your ROM

- a different kernel

- a mod

All my changes are in one single file called "99z_kernel", that one is replaced whenever you reflash the Aroma Installer.

[HTC Sensation] $t0Rm:
Running 8b10 without aroma installer no lag what so were ram doesn't dip under a 100mb
[HTC Sensation] Rumball:
Thanks Faux123, can you indicate what the default LMK settings of your kernel are so that people can check if their ROM is messing with them?
[HTC Sensation] PeeHoo:
Hmm... I am confused?:silly:

I've flashed kernels (and earlier versions also): "pyramid-ics-xe-008b8-aroma-v4.zip" and "Pyramid-ICS-XE-008b10-aroma.zip".

And for some point I've tried activate zram (no swap). After some testing sessions I made swap partition to my sdcard and tried swap and I choosed swap (no zram). And now my question is do I have zram also or not?

I read your reply: "OK, first things first, you need to delete the file "90zram", since that will actvate zram, no matter what, and that will "steal" ram from you. So even if you say zram = no in Aroma, zram will be activate anyway, I can't control the other startup files. But I saw that you activated zram anyways in Aroma Install."

And that's why I started to think do I also have zram (even if I haven't activated it when flashed kernel LAST time.

In folder /system/etc/init.d/ I have files:

40ext4tweaks, 89badass, 90zram, 91tun, 98CheckSettings, 98swap, 99complete, 99pmwcpu, 99z_kernel

If I would like to "clean" this can I delete these files and reboot to the recovery choose settings what I want (frompyramid-ics-xe-008b8-aroma-v4.zip) and choose only flash settings not whole kernel files if I don't want change kernel? Sorry if my question is stupid...:angel:
[HTC Sensation] jyo1:
Wow.. that mention about 90zram file made a big difference.. Installed Yank 2.01 version, and after deleting the 90zram file, my phone is butter smooth with hard swap enabled. Thanks Yank & faux :):good:
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Man, that's crowded in there !! ;)

OK, only scripts my Aroma put in there are :

98swap

99z_kernel

You can remove them and do a proper flash using the Aroma Installer (yes, only flash settings).

Those are from a previous Bricked kernel installation :

89badass

90zram

91tun

These must go !

This one's a System Tuner script :

99pmwcpu

From the name, I'd say this one is setting CPU frq, CPU governor, this one must go !!

This one's from your ROM :

99complete

Don't remove it !

These I don't know exactly what they do :

40ext4tweaks

98CheckSettings

If you want me to have a look, post them.

Guys, come on, this is all a bit like sex !!

You can't be going around ****ing anyone and then expact to be safe :silly:

Translated to Android : You can't be around flashing anything and then expect your device to behave :silly:

You need to know who you've been sleeping with, those all leave something behind, and I'm not speaking of good memories ! :eek:

And safe sex is the best way, that'd be with a Nandroid backup condom :D

The steps to safe sex are :

flash "stuff"

test "stuff"

keep "stuff" or Nandroid back

But don't just flash next "stuff" and so on and so forth !!

I am using ARHD. I have not used any other kernel. Flashing the Yank version of b10 with aroma installer, major lags. Back to NAND, then flash b10 from Faux, all standard settings, no probs at all.

Possibly one of Yank's scripts and one of Mike's scripts don't get along.

I've been busy lately with freelance work all hours and can't sit down and figure this out, sorry.

I can say flashing ARHD (choosing Faux kernel option), then flashing Faux kernel b10 au naturale (no aroma, no setting adjustment), hasn't given me even a hiccup.

Freq Stuck

Yank/Faux.

Thanks for your efforts on this matter. I didnt have any low memory problem with the kernel. I had stuck frequencies. By the time I had it, I didn't have any CPU controlling app or scripts. The 90zram, was installed with the ROM, but I know it can be deleted. I don't want swap in the sdcard (personal choice), so that leave me still with the stuck frequency on the middle setting (inactive and 2phase value). As I said before problem is gone after running the script again. Is like if the governor changed, but the system tuner information was misleading cause it was saying that I had a ocdeamon which I don't. I just deleted an empty virtous_oc folder that probable was created by a "ghost" (dont know what or why or when) and the system tuner start reporting fine.

I did have to return to stock kernel because my phone was getting warmer than usual and the stuck frequencies continue to happen. I totally undestand your points that without further evidence is difficult to investigate. But from a user point of view something changed that is causing the problem, or the "ghost" is doing something out of the sight or everybody.

In my personal experience, I always format system/wipe caches and then re-flash ROM with stock kernel before switching kernels to avoid leftovers.
[HTC Sensation] chassy_8o9:
Good help! :thumbup:
[HTC Sensation] klothius:
I had some free time on my hand and I took your kernel, reversed .40 and .39 patches with everything else untouched and same settings as I had running before patches arrived(65 megs for hidden app, 98 megs for secondary server and 131 megs for empty app - zram on with default settings and I disabled all other tweaks so it was pure stock kernel settings) and it almost always stayed at ~100MB free...at some point free ram dipped at 86MB, but soon recovered to 120MB(I'm guessing it would have never even reached that 86 megs if I hadn't been so aggressive at opening apps and loading pages, but whatever). Then I patched it to .39 with same LMK values and it had no problem going to 80MB and staying there even after opening new apps...at one point I had 72MB.

One thing I can tell is that .39 is decently smoother all around than .38....when it's not choking on free mem :D

You can believe what you want personally, but there was a change with this patch in memory segment that has affected memory freeing.

Although, as I said earlier, this can easily be countered with increased hidden app LMK value (and other two accordingly higher) (like going with 98+ megs on hidden app and raising other two as well) so it's not really an issue except it seems that a few devs set too low hidden app LMK value and users are blaming the wrong side for it. And then we have some other users going all in with both sd swap and zram and screwing things even more.

And don't get this the wrong way, I'm not trying to make you look bad or anything, I'm just trying to help out here as I see a lot of users complaining about this "lag" and it can be easily "fixed" so we can all get back to the smooth experience we used to :)
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
Faux and Yank. I'm still on HNS and gave up on supercharger since it messes with too many things. I repartitioned my sd, completely wiped and reflashed the ROM, made the init.d folder and flashed 8b10 aroma choosing: 192min, 1.56max, 702 off, 1.02 idle (terrible lag at 802), 1.18 phase 2, 2048 sd, cfq, no s2w, soft forced usb, 512 hard swap, no zram. I have only the swap and kernel scripts in my init.d folder.

I am good for a while, then getting lag when my swap says ~300 used and <100 ram left.

If I turn the screen off and back on, my swap goes up to ~400 and free RAM to ~200 and no lag.

I know the lmk is tied to the screen state, but why is it having issues redirecting to the swap unless I alter the screen state? I'm guessing people with zRam would see the same thing.
