Real Racing always lags for me when I have many cars around. (Even when using the on-demand governor) I believe its normal behavior for so much 3D graphics and all. It can be the sdcard read speed too. The game itself has more than 1GB stored in the sdcard.

You all can look through my post & see that i have had crap battery since i had 1st got my Sensation. You can also check back posts to see that i hate when people post battery stats before even letting the phone run a full cycle, i am not one who does this. So i would like to show how amazing kernel v1.0 is working for me. I have my WiFi on always, never turned off, data on always, never turned off, screen set to auto brightness off and set to half full as i like my phone bright because my sight aint that great,Screen to set to never turn off as i like to turn it off on my own i have gps signal on always, auto sync on with every single home page full of widgets, everything from, adw widgets facebook, twitter, weather, clock etc....., plus my usual everyday web usage, calls, texting, and even during this cycle i used my flashlight for almost a total of 45 minutes when changing my cpu in my computer last night. This is all no joke & i have got more than a full day out of my battery for the 1st time ever with 22% still left. I dont know what you guys think but i think with all of my usage to have this much battery left is amazing.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Flashed 1.1 a few hours ago, running on badass governor (192MHz-1.82GHz), conservative in standby (192-540MHz), high oc on 2d and 3d.

All running swift and fine :D

Sweep2wake is awesome !! ;) htc did put the power key at an incovenient and odd location, for my hand at least, this will save my fingers streching uncomfortably and possibly keep my XE from falling to the ground because of that :D

Thanx for the great work !

So I reflashed kernel and I think my issue is gone.
[HTC Sensation] Otkudja:
I have thought that also but i have 8GB Class 10 sd card. Read speed should be ok. Cpu on 1566, low gpu overclock. I have played same game on LG Optimus 3D. It was installed on internal memory and there was no lag.

That was only positive thing compared to sensation ;)
[HTC Sensation] Sharpi1:
Hey Show-p,

Only want to say that the first mintues with 1.1 on badass runnig so awesome! You really did a great Job mate. The other Version 1.0 caused lagg on badass gov. But now... Simply amazing bro.

Now testing battery Life in the next days. Looking forward for your great Kernel works.

Keep up!

Cheers

Edit: if you maybe have some time, you can pm me in german for what all the Extras like GPU and sheduler etc. Stand for.. I dont know what setting is doing what kind of work :D

Running 1.1 for a couple of hours, looks a lot smoother than previous version :D

I guess with badass gov. there's no point in underclocking to 1.2 since it keeps the CPU down to 918MHz until it's really needed, correct? ;)

Thanks for the help further rectifying that stuff right now..wow tried the \n method it added the \n too.. :p darn...as i told you COMPLETELY new to Android.. :D

imma make one sig too.. :D me needs Photoshop tuts now.. :D

also the new dedication message on the reboot..lolz..it was scary.. :D

Went through almost 2 days with best battery since buying Sensation

So if you seen my last post you know how serious i take my battery and people posting correct battery stats. This is my new Screen Pic with the same battery running and still no recharge yet since the last Screen Pic. Again this is stock battery, none of that anchor battery stuff or anything. Just Stock battery & Kick A@@ Bricked Kernel :D. ////////Settings/////// Wifi is always on, never off, Data is always on, never off,Extra Always On Mobile Data Setting Checked, Gps always on, never off, Auto Update Set-On for Weather, Facebook, 2 Twitter Accounts, Google & News. mostly all set to update every 2 hrs, Weather every 3hrs & News 6hrs. I use my Sensation for home and every other calls so you can imagine that usage, about 100txt-150txt a day, All my boxes checked to update my location more often, All 7 Home Screens are full with always updating Weather Widgets, Facebook, Twitter, ADW Widgets for Facebook & Twitter Besides Stock Twitter & Facebook, Music, Messaging, Calling etc..... Auto Screen Brightness is set to off, & on a scale from 1 to 10 would be set at about a 7 as i my eye sight aint that great & i need it bright. Basically my phone is set to everything on. This is not no lie here folks. I don't play when it comes to my battery. It is the worst thing on our sensation and anything and everything to fix it is a huge issue to me. Thank you so much Show-p For your great v1 Kernel. Im scared to ever flash again and lose this battery function. And this is all just the battery, not to mention no Force Closes Or Reboots AT ALL!!!!! Kernel is set to 1.782ghz lowgpuo'c & badass governor. Sorry for the huge post you all. I know it looks crappy on Xda mobile which i know alot of people use but it don't look like crap on the pc. I just had to give big ups to show-p for his kernel & show respect by taking time out to show my experience with v.1 & give as much info to the developer in hopes it may help in his development. Thanks alot again!!!!!:):D PS: There is a very small notch that goes up near the beginning of the graph. It was just from having the data cable connected for not even 2 minutes to upload the screen pic from earlier to my pc. :)
[HTC Sensation] bender_007:

I have to say that 1.1 works a lot better than 1.0..and 1.0 was awesome..

In 1.1 the launcher speed is drastically better, even @ lagfree - balanced

Hey show-p1984

I flashed twice a v1.1 kernel version here are the steps i chose: sweep2wake, ZRAM, 3GPU OC disabled, 2DGPU OC disabled, powersave, cfq and sensation is unbelievable lag and slooooooow is this noraml?

I'm using hypernonsense with your kernel (ondemand, 3d@300 2d@229, no sweep2wake) And sometimes I have touchscreen issues... Today I had a phone call, so tried to pick up, but could barely move the slider /: A reboot seems to temporarly fix it.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
yes , the author of v6 supercharge script said that zram is causing lag !

i always disable it

It is normal - powersave governor always stays at minimum (192MHz) frequency, so kernel has no enough power even for wake up...

Is there a way of setting ro.secure=1 in this kernel?

It's one of the things the Sky Go app checks for, and so far I'm unable to find any Sensation ICS kernel with ro.secure=1 to check if the app works with it.

[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
Thanks, but I had read that thread before. The steps for extracting and editing default.prop and then repacking didn't work for me, and I'd read somewhere else the Sensation kernel is a bit different so those steps won't work.

Anyone got any foolproof steps for changing ro.secure=1 in default.prop on a Sensation, or know of an ICS kernel that has it?
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
How can i disable zram? Will reflashing kernel work?
[HTC Sensation] kairi_zeroblade:
use Dsixda's kitchen it works for ME..used a stock kernel extracted the ramdisk edited the default.prop and then compile it again..showp's kernel is just borrowing the ramdisk of whatever kernel you have/installed..so showp's release has nothing to do with the unsecured/secured boot.img..

correct me if i am wrong here..but that's what i know based on his script and from what i have experienced these past few months playing with android stuff..

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

LOL..

the new v1.1 has it on AROMA..either way you can try this on Terminal..

busybox swapoff /dev/block/zram0
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/block/zram0/reset

also correct me if i am wrong here..haha..i have always wanted to be a kernel maker..but since you are required to be online all the time that sucks on my part..i don't have that kind of access..lolz..

In addition to zram discussion yes there is a somehow a "hit" with zram enabled and disabled..if you lean towards the optimization or utilization of more system ram then leaving it on is safe..if you are a bencher you ought to leave this off..but there is a minimal difference when it is ON(for me) rather turning it OFF..i do have 400+mb free ram with it ON..and when OFF i see all of my RAM eaten up..

do again correct me if i am wrong..this is also based on my usage..we are all entitled to our own opinions..so don't PWN me..have tried it on a couple of LG units that i modded and all my customers are satisfied with it ON..
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
Thanks. So can i reflash the kernel and select no?
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
If you have root explorer or some similar app, you could go to system/etc/init.d/ and delete the zram script. Reboot and zram will not be activated :) to reactivate either reflash the kernel or keep that zram script somewhere on your SD :)

YES..but after doing so wipe dalvik and cache..just to be safe you don't bootloop..

also check on you init.post_boot.sh if you have a line there that fire's up the zram..if you have come from Faux's kernel..the said file has a line there(2 lines) that fires up zram on boot..so look also into that file..

Unbelievable, it works!!!! I am now watching Sky Sports on the official Sky Go app using a custom ROM and a custom kernel!

Many many thanks. Took a bit to get dsixdas kitchen up and running, but once I did, just unpacked boot.img, changed the 0 to 1, repacked and reflashed, and it works!

A couple of questions.

1. Are there any side effects of having ro.secure=1 ? I now have 2 boot.img files so can flash the secure one in a few seconds when I want to watch Sky, leaving it unsecured normally.

2. The boot.img from my nandroid backup was 16Mb. After unpacking and repacking, it's 4Mb. Is this normal? There does only seem to be 4mb of files in the 16mb img, with a lot of empty padding, is this required!

Hi show.. a question.. is there a way to improve the incrementhal speed of badass governor?

I'd want to know it because i have low performance in animations of the home screen, the slide animation.. those need all 1.5ghz of single core..

I'm on sense 4, the lastest coindroid..

With ondemand all is smooth, with badass, not..

I see there are some threadshold files in badass governor witch chose frequency by gpu using..

I'm on 3d stock oc and 2g hight oc..

Thank you for all! ;)
[HTC Sensation] q9650:
Eeehm, how about read what the Aroma installer asks?! You van choose badass with High Performance...and if its still Not enough go for ondemand.
[HTC Sensation] ursubpar:
When will we be able to see an AOSP version of your kernel?

Sorry to ask for an eta.
[HTC Sensation] kairi_zeroblade:
1. NO ro.secure=1 is for ROOTING purposes..well using rooting apps will set this to 0 anyways..(correct me if i am wrong here but from what i observe rooting apps sets this to 0 so they can push the exploits for rooting)

2. its normal..there are some stuff on the boot.img that were deprecated..only the boot.img is/was needed also the ramdisk that came with it..and the extra files are not needed when you flash the new one..so it will be again OK..

was on the same foot took me some time to be in harmony with dsixda's kitchen but its an easy way to get around the ramdisk and an easy way to put some personal customizations before you flash a rom/kernel..
[HTC Sensation] jesterpaul:
Sorry if I've missed this anywhere, but I can't work out how to take a screenshot. Neither power + home, nor power + volume down are working. Bricked 1.1 max gpu overclock, best performance option taken on install, 1782 max, 384 min speed, badass governor . Elegancia 3.6.6.

All else is working beautifully.

Thanks to the people who suggested disabling zram. The phone is still as smooth and doesn't lag after a day of usage. (Had to reboot previously, probably to 'clear' the zram) believe that battery life would be better too without the SD card being worked so vigorously

Hey Dude any news on the update to 0.9?

:)

I think you could undervolt it a lil bit more :D

or do a extra version.

because changing the values after every reboot is annoying...

also setcpu wants all the time superuser rights...

again... and again... and again...

o.o
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
No, no news at the moment. I am currently trying to improve a few minor things ;)

To undervolt consistently through reboots use system tuner.

I may decrease the values a little bit further, but they are set so that most people will have no problems with this build. Different CPUs different possibilities.

That SetCPU wants permissions is not my fault ;) ask the author about that :D
[HTC Sensation] KennyDumah:
yeah never had such problems with previous HTC phones...

mh

i'll try another oc app to underclock.

improve few minor things?

[HTC Sensation] iftikar666:
question re voltages

Hi

Loving the kernel so far - however I have a complete n00b question

How do you change the voltage to make it stable?

Do you pick the clock speed you want and just change that voltage?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
It should be stable out of the box Oo

However if you want to change something, pick your desired app (system tuner) and then change the settings. Be sure to run a stress test or a few benchmarks after that to make sure your phone runs stable with the new settings. Also DO NOT CHECK SET ON BOOT in your app. If you set a voltage that is NOT STABLE, this setting enabled will lead to BOOTLOOPS!

Any other hint I can give you: Trial and Error. As always when overclocking / undervolting something.
[HTC Sensation] iftikar666:
Ok cool - thx

:)
[HTC Sensation] ziggimon:
Remember the good old Nokia phones that would last a week per charge.. those were the days.. then again, they had a monocrome screen :)
[HTC Sensation] doctorlirio:
I've run StabilityTest from intostudios to stress both cores and memory several times at 1.83 Ghz with different voltages. All temperatures I refer to in this post are the temps reported by this app. Ambient temperature was 27ºC and the phone screen was always on during the tests.

The results have puzzled me a little. First I tested with the phone unplugged and lying flat on a wooden table.

At 1287.5 mV the test ran without problems until the CPU reached 47ºC, then the test failed (no reboot)

At 1300 mV the test ran until temperature reached 45.6ºC and the phone rebooted.

At 1312.5 mV the test ran until the CPU reached 46.5ºC, then the test failed (no reboot)

After those test i did some more but holding the phone in the hand, most stable was 1300 mV during 20 minutes, but as soon as i plugged in the USB the phone rebooted. Temp was stable at 45ºC when that happened. At 1312.5 mV with the phone in my hand the phone rebooted at 47ºC after 15 minutes. At 1287.5 mV test failed after 16 minutes before reaching 44ºC (no reboot)

Then i did some more testing with the USB plugged in... every test failed at around 42ºC no matter the voltage selected.

The wooden table of course is the worst case scenario, a surface with no heat conductivity at all. When holding the phone in my hand temperatures were cooler and phone was stable at 1300 mV. Less voltage failed the test and more voltage produced too much heat and temperature rised too much.

It seems the "sweet spot" in my device is 1300 mV, then the phone is stable as long as I hold it in my hand and the phone is not plugged!!!

All these tests make me think that in fact there's a temperature limit reached, but i'm starting to believe it's not the CPU temperature limit... maybe the RAM? or the memory controller? It seems to be related to the chipset and not the CPU (I know it's a SoC system, but still has different parts inside) I really don't know because there's no correlation between CPU temp, voltage and clock speed with the failed tests or the reboots. The fact that all tests failed when the phone was plugged without even reaching 43ºC shows that the temperature limit is somewhere else, not in the CPU (or at least not in the CPU side of the SoC chip)

I'm going to leave the phone running at 1.83 Ghz. and 1300 mV for awhile, and see if i encounter any issue. In real life you usually never get 100% load on the hardware during 15 minutes or more like you do when running this test, not even playing, so most probably the phone should work without problems of any kind. Anyway I will report if I encounter any issue, and maybe i'll try to check other voltage values for lower clock speeds. ;)
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
But they had Snake! I still love that game! It was perfect for the keyboard phones of this time!

No app can currently read the CPU temperature from Bricked. It is not included, and there are only one or two kernel out there where it is. I will included that too, at a later point. What you see there is the battery temperature, which may not be as warm / as cold as the cpu is.

Would you say it drain battery faster if enabled? (Given that it doesn't read from sd card)

[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
Technically it is swap.

Here's the breakdown of zram:

1. Make a ram drive.

2. Compress it in real time.

3. Mount it as swap.

In theory, with a bit of a performance hit, you get to store more items in memory without changing how much memory you actually have.

If you have the proper memory management values set along with zram, the stuff loaded to memory that isn't constantly used is loaded to the zram drive, but not exited thereby keeping performance up from having to reload the app and values from a full close.

All this is just theory. In practice, it may not end up this way.

Also, swap is not limited to the sdcard on android. It's just the most logical place. Think of swap like and overflow container for the ram. It's just a space to store more memory than the ram allows until the kernel can clear space in the ram.
