i know mate ... i had to figure out myself ... its when you disabling mpdecision and forcing second core online

you have the same experience i had.

i know faux ... there is a problem when waking second core up and its always at max speed or something ... i know that

simple solution is to bring out more kernels with different max speeds ... so you dont have to manage your stuff with the mpdecision thing

ask sebastianfm , he is doing it so
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I played 3D games and it is very smooth and if you see my tweets you can see very high benchmark (completely opposite of what you said). Also post like this without description of your ROM does not do anything.... you will need to post ROM version, if using profiles, OC daemon, CPU governor etc...

I am using default settings running latest ARHD and it's almost TOO fast...

[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
so you suggest installing your kernel without any cpu tool installed right ?
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
Faux i had 3700 on opensensation cm9 on 1512mhz build 17-03, new cm9merges caused me to go down abit for some reason :/

On 1836MHz sebastian kernel even had 4136 Quadrant points, 130k browsermark,14k CF-bench and to finish it off a 7350 AnTuTu run.

CM9 official is still in the building so lots of great things to come, and even more now ur working on kernels again. Hope they continue to work on AOSP too.

The kernel CM9 (also HTC's source) uses atm has bluetooth fixed for AOSP cm9, i think they share the source obviously. Hope u can merge it in.

Running your kernel atm, still all good :)
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I am using SystemTuner and I UV'ed a bit, but other than that I have everything else default. No profiles, No OC Daemon, default OnDemand CPU Governor.

My 2nd core goes to sleep during deep sleep and both are running when the phone is awake. I don't have to force On/Off anything... everything is automatic...
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Well im pretty pee'd off with my cpu issue , cpu1 is on all the time and im not happy having both cores online always......

Im gonna reflash the rom and check

After Installing setcpu and set my speed to has 1188 it has both core online and even after uninstalling its the same :-(
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
read the last post before yours :D
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I renamed mpdecision under /system/bin to mpdecision_dis

Simply use a file explorer of your choice with root access, change it back to mpdecision and reboot, you should be good to go.
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
So u have both core on when phone is awake? Hmm I think my phone was fine that means lol I thought t was like only one core online and second core when needed.......
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Battery life great so far, deep sleep is working can't post a screenshot as sense 4 from bass gives me a wrong file extension.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Everything should be normal with 2 cores running when screen is on.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Just a little question, without using anything on like SetCPU or other, will this be at 1,5Ghz or at 1,73Ghz ?
[HTC Sensation] elgubbo:
his changelog says boots at 1,5 i think?
[HTC Sensation] BurnRubber90:
I Was using Insert Coin 5.1.5, stock, no tweaks. As i was getting those issues i tried OC/DownClocking, still nothing :confused: . Gonna try with Android Revolution HD as it seems that's the ROM people are getting high performance with your kernel.

PD: I did NOT intend to flame or anything your work, i really like it, just trying to give some constructive criticism to make this even better :D.
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Thanks faux, totally clears it up, im leavinging mines as is, as mpdecsion isn't all that good.

But re flashed the rom anyway lol
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Thx man, gonna give it a go now. Ive missed the faux magic!

Will report back later :)
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Eh? The DL link is still there.

That said, 0.1.0 is working beautifully. Looking forward to stressing the GPU out with a little FPSE later today. :D
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
CPU OC, GPU OC, but what about the battery ? I mean if all is highly OC, i understand the phone is smooth but what about the battery?

Be sincere :p

I'm really interessted to try it, but i need a good battery too ;)
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Get a spare battery.I would rather have a beastly phone that performs to its fullest potential than to have a laggy/stuttery phone,even if it means less than great battery life.
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Installed over v9 (1.78ghz version) works greats on bads 2.3.5 Rom.

No all we need is a GUI to control GPU OC like the one TegraK has for the SGS2 :)
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Yes, i was going to buy one but my question is : Is the battery life better, the same or bader thant stock kernel with faux kernel ?
[HTC Sensation] marcos600rr:
Where i can find daemon controler app
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Just a quick question,Faux.Why no sync L2 on the 1.78GHz version??!(what difference does it make anyway?) and which one do you recommend for power users?

Thanks and keep up the great work.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Anybody tried both versions for comparison???! any noticable differnce in performance?
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
I haven't yet but the 1.78ghz one is a screamer. Getting some crazy benches.
[HTC Sensation] skyhigh2004:
Love the new kernel faux, 1.78 running super smooth here.

Sent from my Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
I have read somewhere it doesn't work anymore? But anyway it's part of the ROM, not the kernel I believe.

You can use System Tuner in the mean-time. Again I suspect the OC deamon is part of the ROM too? Maybe I'm mistaken, as I run a stock ROM.

OP will tell you it's useless anyway! :D We're all running tests like crazy now! :D

EDIT: Anyone tried 0.1.0 on top of stock 2.3.4 ROM with baadnewz modified 0.0.9 kernel?

+1 what about a kernel file we can edit like for CPU gov/freq?

So we can choose whether to overclock GPU or not without having to go to a previous/other kernel?

Would be nice.

Thanks for this kernel by the way!
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
My ROM is flying with 1.5 0.1.0 kernel :D Thanks faux123 !!!
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
@ Faux123, I finally got the available time to test this kernel after the patches. I know v0.0.6 i got from you was working great on 2.3.3

So I tested v0.1.0 on 2.3.4 The Beast v2. and it works perfectly. The min and max are both for cpu1 and stick even after returning from idle.

I appreciate the progress made, and im glad to see it working properly on 2.3.4 and to see the overclock now affecting both cores.
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
i dont know how some of you are getting such crazy scores :( installed ondemand 1.56ghz kernel and i get horrible benchmarks.. 2600quadrant and really superpoor 23fps on nenamark2 and 6300 on cf-bench... shouldnt i get near your scores with 1.5ghz? could you do me a favor and run nenamark2 and post your scores? i dont get why such
[HTC Sensation] eyegor:
Which ROM are you using?
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Benchmarks

@ 1.78/1.78 ondemand v0.1.0 on baadnews 2.3.5 Rom:

cf-bench (3rd run): 8110 :eek:

Smartbench 2011: 4019/2204

Nenamark2: 32.3FPS

Nenamark1: 51.7FPS

Antutu: FC

[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Thanks faux. Loving it so far. Your work is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] eyegor:
Is the 1.78 kernel actually OCed by default to 1.78 or do you have to use a program?

If so, why are there BIG LETTERS saying not to use a program to oc? How should I oc properly?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I'm getting 2700+ with quadrant on 1.5 GHz kernel ;)
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Yeah, I can't figure out why that score was so low. I'll just chalk it up to Quadrant being a lousy benchmark :)
[HTC Sensation] Astug:
HyperNonSense v1.5 (I don't use any CPU tuners or anything like that.)

I wiped cache+dalvik cache and flashed your kernel (beta 2).

1st impression; Things feel a little sluggish tbh. Opening the app drawer (Apex launcher) & scrolling through the system settings menu is not as smooth as SebastianFM's OC kernel (which is just stock kernel but OC'ed).
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Hey faux swap is 0, is that normal arnt we getting zram?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
No ZRAM yet... I have other better tweaks to come... ZRAM maybe last :D

My goal for open beta is to tweak for good battery life as a baseline, so I can measure my subsequent kernels to it.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
so far battery drains seem good, 60 ish mA on standby but ive only really just flashed it, will do more testing overnight. Doesnt feel sluggish for me, feels quite nippy on ARHD 6.5.1 :)
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Sounds good faux, baseline is a very good place to start,

having tons and tons of tweaks and crap battery isn't worth it
[HTC Sensation] daprince047:
do you still make roms? if so what phone? so i can go buy one now

Proper Call recorder patch?

Hello,

thanks for this kernel.

Does anyone know if call recorders are working properly with the ICS kernel version?

Does it include a "call recorder" patch?

Thanks,

best regards

Amber
[HTC Sensation] Astug:
You can't claim it's stable. It's an extreme OC, 1.8GHz is already considered dangerous and many of our devices can't even handle it.
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Was working fine and smooth. Now feels a sluggish and laggy. Will test more and let you.

Insertcoin beta 10 ics sense 4. No setcpu or system tuner .

Edit: lock screen has become unresponsive. Well it register but I can't slide the ring anymore.
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
It's been fine on ARHD 6.5.2xe since morning, maybe u have a dodgy app ?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I'm not sure why you are seeing sluggish performance. I've been running my kernel for almost 2 days, and I haven't seen any slow downs. There seemed to be a common link with insert coin ROM.

BTW, when it's sluggish, is 2nd core online or offline? Maybe something is turning off the core.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Ya, just causeit boots doesnt mean anything. Until he can show a proven stress test (10+ runs of quadrant, stress test in setcpu for a LONG period of time, Antutu looping, etc), its nothing more than a cool number

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

Just curious, with mpdecision disabled (renamed), will the second core turn off\go offline when screen turns off or cpu load lessens. Not sure the effect on battery life keeping both cores on FT. Please share if you've played around w/ it.

Thanks man!
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
2nd core is online/offline purely basesd linux power management suspend.
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
Impossible!
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Edit my post lock screen registers but I can't move lock ring to unlock. Beta 1 works flawless though.

I can't seem to find if CPU 1 is online on sense 4 Rom can someone point me to it.

[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
Nice job Faux!
[HTC Sensation] DANOFDANGER:
lol what tripnraver has a kernel released on his main forum that states 2.2ghz oc ???? people reporting it works.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Use SystemTuner and look under tweaks->cpu
[HTC Sensation] pnut22r:
The sluggishness happened to me too. I was running kristofs Rom and at first it was fast. Then I put my phone down for a few, when I turned the screen on it was very laggy and YES the 2nd core was off.

I flashed arhd then your kernel and all is well with both cores and smoothness.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
2.2GHz maybe possible. My old MyTouch 4G kernel can hit 2.1 GHz on single core...

I could clock my own kernel higher but I don't see the need to... if you want to go higher clock, there are plenty of kernels for sensation to choose from.

My main emphasis has always been battery / performance balance.

Also with my ICS kernel, my plan is to get it as close as my Galaxy Nexus kernel in terms of features and battery life.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Yeah, it is VERY likely there's something with Kristof's and InsertCoin's ROMs that somehow muck with 2nd core (even though they are "stock", but they've already been modified and tweaked). ARHD is pretty much stock which is what I use to test.

Maybe OC Daemon or something else is running that turns on/off 2nd core. Since I disabled M(ake)P(oor)Decision, if something else turned off the 2nd core, the performance will suffer greatly.

Having a 2 core processor but running with only 1 core defeats the purpose of dual core in the first place. Also relying on M(ake)P(oor)Decision to ramp up the 2nd core to max + plus rapid on/off may actually drain more battery than it saves....
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Yea CPU 1 is off ill check the folders to see if there us anything that would affect it
[HTC Sensation] M pro:
I've been following trips work but somethings not right about the clock speed he is reporting

At 1.78ghz I get 7600 in au but at 2.2ghz he gets lower scores then this..

Things are not adding up for me here

One of two things are happening

1. he has clocked the CPU to high and its making to meny errors slowing it down outwaying the Oc

2. The way the clock speed is shown has somehow been changed aloweing for a lower clock speed to be shown as a higher clock speed. "A cheat"

The numbers don't lie, somethings not right
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
I have pointed him to his mistake, and calculated the right value for him. Update should come soon.

Currently his kernel states 2,2Ghz but it is secretly running at 1782Mhz. ;)
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
LOLz :p (10 chars)
[HTC Sensation] M pro:
Hehe know it! X)
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
Exactly 1728 MHz. I read values directly from CPU clock registers.

By the way you should look at your frequency tables because showed values are slightly different than real CPU speed.
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
LMAO! He didnt answer when I asked if it was actually stable or if it was iffy. Pretty much gave it away. Besides not needing that high of clock speed, thermald would throttle it down anyway due to heat at such a high clock , if it were even obtainable

---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

Cant say anything but my experiences on InsertCoin. It has no OC daemon installed or any cpu utilities by default, where as ARHD has one (or at least it used to use the OC daemon). Really not sure what else would cause such an slowdown, as IC isnt modified in a way that should affect CPU1 on or off. Mostly build tweaks, memory optimization, hacks to Rosie\UI, the standard stuff. Nothing major....... Ill test and seeif I can recreate

EDIT: Seems you are correct, cant get CPU1 to go online w/ InsertCoin. Could this have something to do w/ show-p's post boot sh? (as its now included in IC 5.1.6).

EDIT 2: EVEN more interesting, after flashing back to show-p's Bricked. Still cant get cpu1 to go online, when I was able to prior to installing beta2. Im thinking this is a conflict between kernels (or files included w/ kernels) more than a ROM compatibility issue.

EDIT 3: DUH!!!! Gotta go back and rename mpdecision. (smack)
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
transposed digits =/

If you already made the effort and looked into that, which ones are the one in question? Iirc I didn't edit the CPU clock values up until 1512Mhz at all, So that is kind of surprising because they should still be stock. (Except 1566Mhz)

Also, have you seen my pm?
[HTC Sensation] joser24:
Don't know technical stuff but damn my battery is drained! And phone gets hot. I'm using the energy ROM. It's smooth though! During use I'm at 112°F

Any suggestions on a UV without problems?
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
I just flashed this running on ARHD 6.5.2.

I'll test it and let you know about the battery life.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Sounded like something got stuck causing battery drains and heat
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
Dont waste your time. It wont change the temp much, if at all, and barely helps battery, if at all. Also, not sure bout the specifics of the Energy ROM, but something could be causing an issue in that specific ROM.
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
My acpuclock-8x60.c. Frequency table cantains L_VALs (l_val) and corresponding frequencies in kHz (acpuclk_khz). Only L_VALs affect CPU frequency.

In example if l_val = 0x20 then real CPU speed is 1728 MHz (0x20 * 2 * 27 MHz).

[HTC Sensation] irrelephant:
Faux you are the man! I miss your work back in the glaciers days, so I'm stoked to be with it again! Been on your beta 2 for a few hours with ARHD6.5.2XE and it is faster than a tweekers heartrate after blasting a rig! Battery seems pretty good, but only 2hrs so far, will report more tomorrow.
[HTC Sensation] pekaka:
very nice!thanks your great job,testing Pyramid-ICS-sense-001b2 on InsertCoin 5.1.6.....
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Before I report on my beta2 experience, I just wanted to thank faux123, showp1984 and SebastianFM for working together here! I'm looking forward to major progress from the multiple sets of expert eyes.

Ok, I unfortunately only ran this beta 2 for a few hours today. I had System Tuner Pro managing governor and max/min for both screen on and off. Screen on: Interactive, full speed max and 192 min. Screen off: Conservative, 594 max and 192 min. This setup exhibited laggy home screen scrolling (Nova Launcher Pro) and AnTuTu scores bellow 4000. I was stumped as the 1.5 SebastianFM (latest) kernel with the exact same setup was buttery smooth and scores over 6500. I then read some of faux's advice on the other forum (rhymes with toots-mickey) and saw that he recommended no tweaks or governor settings, so I removed them and froze System Tuner in Titanium, and then rebooted to give it another go. No change. I know it must be something lingering from previous setups, but in the few hours I was digging, I couldn't figure it out (read: n00b hunt).

I'm now back on bricked 03 until I figure this out.

Thanks again for jumping back in the Sensation game faux! Also, thanks for dedicating your support on both sites!
[HTC Sensation] BurnRubber90:
Glad to see I'm not the only one having this probs with Insert Coin
[HTC Sensation] pekaka:
great kernel !!! the most impression is that the temp is controlled very good,I running some HD game,the temp is much lower than SebastianFM kernel 1.30.2(also great kernel),but less smooth,it is a pitty,waiting fore beta3.
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
Now I'm using this kernel again and I'm having the same problem. I haven't used SetCPU or something.

Yesterday it run extremely fast but now it is like 10 fps.

No games played, etc..

Running InsertCoin 5.1.6.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Interactive has not been tested by me, I don't recommend you using it. I would stick to OnDemand until I said otherwise (the old interactive for GB was broken, so until I verify that it is working for the new kernel).

There have been SEVERAL reported lagginess by InsertCoin users and the culprit is 2nd core somehow got turned off and WITHOUT M(ake)P(oor)Decision, the 2nd core will remain off and cause all sort of lags (basically the phone is now a single core phone running dual core software :( ). On ARHD, there are no reported lag issues (2nd core is happily running without being turned off).
[HTC Sensation] x3nophobia:
working great on ARHD 6.5.1, thanks faux!! :D I've been missing your kernel since ICS ROM :D

will test on battery life :D
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
Hmmm I hope there is a fix for InsertCoin users. I really love the speed (when it does work normally).

Btw I've noticed that after a reboot or shutdown it happened (like: flash kernel, reboot 1st time, works normally, use for a few hours, reboot again, lag).
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
The real question is why is InsertCoin ROM messing with 2nd CPU core at all?
[HTC Sensation] Abaddon:
How about sense 4 faux? Thanks for the update btw :D
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
Maybe some "speed tweaks". Only baad knows it.
