Like the guys from Cyanogenmod said...why do you have RAM, if you don't use it?

They did not like taskkillers and said how Google felt about RAM.

Like I said...what's the point of something if you do not use it.
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
That's the problem, there are no scripts doing that beside forcing cpu1 online. init.post_boot.sh does not exist, there are no defaults set in build.prop. I'm using your 1.2 kernel with gpu320.

Where could be some other place those values get changed (assuming that no app does it some other way)?

About using taskkillers: personally I don't but there is a slight reason to use them - every app uses cpu cycles, even the one in the background so for a perfect speed in a single task, the best way is to have less task running and that means killing them - of course when we want to use said killed app again we have to pay a penalty of starting it again, not forgetting about opening documents/pages/stuff again. But I suppose for some Benchmark Addicts it is a worthwhile tradeoff. For normal users - not really.

Will this work on insercoin rom? 3.5 sense
[HTC Sensation] nbicho:
Yes, but you'll have issues on amaze camera.

Flash this if you want brick v1.2 with stock camera
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Yes, it will but for full camera functionality you will need update.zip from 2 post of this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198684

thread. I also suggest updating to newest InsertCoin if you like that rom.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
MIUI is an AOSP rom, they need different drivers. Has nothing to do with sense Bluetooth ;)

App / postboot / init.d are the only places I can think of.

If you kill a task in android, and the system needs it, or it was not finished with what it did, android will restart it automatically, and the app needs to start from 0. So if you have a taskkiller installed it's like this:

task a killed
a was not finished
a was started by system
task a killed
a was not finished
a was started by system
task a killed
a was not finished
a was started by system
task a killed
a was not finished
a was started by system
task a killed
a was not finished
a was started by system
task a killed
a was not finished
a was started by system
task a killed
a was not finished
a was started by system
task a killed

You see how totally pointless task killers are? :D
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
Apps killed by a taskkiller don't stay closed until you restart them, look at how the OS behaves it runs around doing more work restarting them. Try it close loads of programs leave the phone 30 mins doing nothing then check again. I have had 300Mb free ram with a taskiller but it only lasts for a few minutes

Linux localhost 2.6.35.14-Bricked-v1.25-ondmnd-1536-192.show-p1984 #341 SMP PREEMPT Thu Oct 13 03:00:49 CEST 2011 armv7l GNU/Linux

Changes:
KGSL Improvements backported from 2.6.38
ZSL driver merged from 3 sources, my imagination, and trial and error. Though the cam is not taking pictures now. I introduced somewhere a nice buffer problem =/
Mem management bumped to 2.6.38
WQ bumped to 2.6.38
BT bumped to 2.6.38
and some other stuff...

Please test the camera. 2.3.5 users should test with stock libs, since I do not support hacked stuff any longer. Would be nice to have a tester of 2.3.4 because I am sick of switching between 3 roms just to test stuff =/ (This ain't good for my phone either)

adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot boot zImage

Since there are no modules present, you will ofc loose wifi.

If you boot it as posted above, it will be gone after a reboot because it is not written permanently and only booted out of the cache ;)

That depends on app type - kill cf-bench and see if it restarts itself. I'm not talking about "system apps" but only user ones. And I wrote, I do agree about taskkillers being mostly useless. Did anyone even tried to understand what I wrote?
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
Test v1.25 using stock ROM 1.45.709.3

Running dailyroads, 4 navigation app, listen to music using bluetooth, web browsing, playing hexdefense game. No issues found yet, although the hexdefense animation isn't smootth enough. And this version seems cooler than 1.2. The temperature shown by battery solo widget app never goes up higher than 39. Wow... very cool.

Ofcourse wifi died.
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Testing v1.25, InsertCoin 2.5.5 stock camera (2.3.4)

Camera closes after taking a picture. No message, just closes, no picture saved. Same result with or without preview on.

Video appears to work.

Wi-fi is probably dead, but I wouldn't know here at work.

I'll keep this build running for a while. Not planning to take pictures or use wi-fi at least until I get home. Will report back if I encounter anything out of the ordinary. :D

Do we really need a CPU tuner apps for this to configure the the screen off clockspeed (battry life)? or it has some built-in script for this? coz ive tried almost all possible combos and letting it do itself (without set-cpu and alike apps) is always more fluid/smooth/fast...

Under stock ROM 1.45.709.3, there is a module kineto_gan.ko, should be the wifi calling? wifi calling isn't available here, and so is it safe to remove it?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Yes, but why would you delete it? Those few kb are not worth of the shell command which deletes them. :D
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
Thank you! I forget this is linux thing, not M$ one...

Another thing bother me for a while, that is I'm using a camera app (dailyroads) running on background and listen to music at the same time, and also turn off the screen, stock htc kernel will not work, as it will drop frames and the app hangs, your kernel seems the only one that will work, it's v1.2, sometimes, not often, the phone hangs, buttons not working, and music continuously playing til the end. How can I help for debugging? I'm not familiar with linux.

BTW, when this "debug.sf.hw=1" is enable on build.prop, the UI is unbelievable smooth. you're wonderful.

3D performance is tweaked very good, but how about the 2D, can it be improved further?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
I am always trying to improve everything that is possible.

That said, I got some Eyecandy for you guys. Shot on IC 3.3.1 and my upcoming Bricked v1.3 Sense:

(No, no amaze camera, yet. I am getting closer. It now is actually saving the shot but still crashing the cam app =/ HTC is giving me a hard time to recreate their driver...)
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
On v1.2, I've tested for few days with as much loading as possible, and the lowest stable undervolatage I got on my sensation is hit 3 times -12.5 mv inside the system tuner. But with or without undervotage set, the battery life seems the same.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
"A cpu is not a lightbulb"

-- baadnewz
[HTC Sensation] Gunkk:
Power usage is proportional to Frequency * (voltage)^2.

-50mV (four steps down) at ~1.1 volt is about a 9% energy savings. You can get that same power savings by dropping max frequency from 1.5 to 1.35 GHz -- and a lot more idle power savings by dropping your min freq from 384 to 192 MHz.
[HTC Sensation] lokhor:
How much % of overall power usage is the CPU? I'd assume that the screen would use more than 50% of power

my phone is freeze depending on the program i use. example I will play the phone freeze, sometimes I open the program locks the phone's camera, I see a video the phone lock. only happens when I make something to order it a lot and now is now, I'm using kernel bricked, back only pull of battery.... Help? NOT USE 320GPU
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
I suspect you need to flash the stock kernel again. it also depends on which ROM you have installed. Let me know and Ill try and help. cheers
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
Yes, screen use more than 50% of power.

What I tried is max freq at stock 1188, then start from hitting -12.5 mv 7 times, the phone survive just normally, but sometime freeze when dailyroads is starting recording, then I raise the voltage until dailyroads's background recording + music + web browsing will not freeze or lock the phone. So my guess, under heavy load, CPU can be stable at only - 37.5mv. Saving battery life isn't important for me, but it is fun for testing something.

When I bough this phone, I received a gift from htc, a pocket 5000 mAh battery, that is a lot, you can play games the whole day. :D

How do you create a profile when screen off??

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
System tuner doesn't have that function but smartassv2 has a default screenoff profile
[HTC Sensation] marvelspires:
actually the problem is in the kernel bricked it.

1. Full wipe, insertcoin 3.3.1 -> 1.2 Bricked -> I turn on the phone and installed a game from Gameloft, the game was giving lag, locking ... using the the phone is usually not the bug only when something heavy is required

2. Full wip, insertcoin 3.3.1 -> I turn on the phone and installed the game by gameloft, all normal, smooth and fast ...

My phone was locked by a method sometimes when something heavy was ordered
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
I also have this issue, but gone when I removed init.d and build.prop rweaks.
[HTC Sensation] marvelspires:
but I did not remove anything and it gave these problems
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
I mean some tweaks maybe the cause of the issue, like oom, kernel and vm tweaks.
[HTC Sensation] dingolino:
In system tuner you can set a different max speed clock while

1. Screen off

2. in a call

you find it in

Settings-Active Tweaks

since I am using bricked1.2 final with smartassV2 I am not using it because bricked is reducing the clock speed down to 192Mhz while screen off

Best regards

Quick question - can it work with coredroid? Tired of waiting for a Skinned Energy ROM :D Wanna try it before moving back to nrg :)
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
I dont want to mention the 'other' kernel, but there is something in there that is allowing amaze camera to work, albeit without burst effect (v0.2.2 b8 and sense 3.5 hack)

Personally, I cant wait for v1.3 :)
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Ofc, this version work on every GB-Sense based rom. (afaik)

Yeah, hacked libs so the amaze camera will work without burst and without ZSL capture ;)

It will even work that way with the very first sensation stock kernel ;)

BTW: The 'other' kernel can't even boot up on Sense 3.5 without libhacks :P

Many thanks - I was out today and just came back so could not respond earlier.

My cwm is up to date 5.0.2.0. With 0.45 I had some strange effects today:

- After a while I was not able to get a data access connection but calls still work

-- flight mode, back from flight mode and data was working again

- gps was not working properly with 0.45 got no gps fix

- battery was good

now I flashed 0.5 and the flash itself was without any trouble and right away I tested gps - working now

Now it is also working to set the clokc speed with System Tuner.

For me 1,19 GHz is great the phone is WITH stock 2.3.4 system much "snappier" than before (was also good with 0,45)

With 0.45 I had the impression that in comparission with the stock kernal the phone is geting quicker warmer in the lower 1/3rd of the screen, but again over the day battery was good with 0,45

@3c:

I have not enabled anything, no OC or any other boot script that I am aware of.

>Hi, just a note on System Tuner, did you enable boot scripts? Do you have OC/deamon in your ROM?
