vsync

And the reason to deactivate this feature is NOT to cheat or fake high scores, but we come to a level of optimization where our benchmark apps are not on par with the performance which should be measured with it. GPU plays a big role in matter of performance so while benching with vsync activated only shows us the performance improvements on cpu side, but not on GPU side, cause every Antutu graphics bench goes above 60fps with bricked kernel. So to get the ability to measure performance improvements achieved by kernel development, disabling vsync simply is needed ...
[HTC Sensation] lampshade90:
it must be the ROM or your setup, never had any blackscreen or reboot with bricked... Im on ARHD 6.5.3 running bricked v0.5. did u installed an other kernel before? maybe flash ROM and then bricked new

Edit: sorry overread that you fullwiped before hmm, but it must be your fault, never had any issue :( did you restore system data? maybe a bad app
[HTC Sensation] banesi:
show, is it possible to have longer led notification light, current stock 5 min. notification is just not enough, btw, never understood htc for setting this so low :(
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
ShowP,

Could you disable the screen off time trigger for active apps.

It's really annoying when playing games and the screen turns it's self off.

[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Gimme kernel log from those blackscreens? ;)

No problems here, so either a hw specific issue (some phones actually cannot handle 1.5ghz, or need ridiculous high voltages) or it's a #pebcak problem. :D

Already done in my latest internal test ;)

That should not be the kernel.

That's userspace stuff (rom) telling the kernel when to shutdown display and when not. Also the kernel has no knowledge of the app that is running. It just knows that something is running, but not what that is (a game or the browser with youpr0n).

Maybe a faulty app that does not notify the rom that it needs screenlock, or a faulty rom (then it's your fault :p).
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
Then it's my fault that htc screwed this one up. ;)

All games i played won't trigger the timer.

So have to live with this one.

[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
I think that disabling vsync has disadvantages also, e. g. rendered frames can be displayed partially and this can affects animated graphics quality. Vsync should be disabled only for tests or user should have possibility to decide if disable or enable it.
[HTC Sensation] nicob:
try tasker to disable the trigger for these apps...
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
Could be an option for some users.

But i prefer to do this without any 3th party apps.

Hate bloatware ;)

@show-p1984

just had another reboot,and I tried running that adb command for log creating you gave me ( adb shell cat /proc/dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.log) but it keeps poping out "The system cannot find the path specified."?!

My adb always worked good,what could be the problem here?Command or something at my end?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
If you get a hard reboot, with splash screen and everything that won't work.

Also the command I gave you was adb shell dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.log, or I screwed up because of not enough sleep. (possible :p) Either way use dmesg only for soft reboots.

Hard reboot logs:

cd to the directory where you want it to go

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg

gimme file. ;)

Here's working perfectly on insertcoin 1.5.7... Don't know if this is kernel related but when I watch a video in landscape mode the brightness is very very low! Even under the sun... Anyone faced this too?
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
I had reboots too, 2 reboots today, but I was not at home to try to track this bug.

Both time, my wifi was ON, that's all I know

I thought my ROM was to blame, or not the ROM itself but just the fact it's been a while for me without fully wipping my device, but it seems others had reboots?

I'm gonna torture my device now that I'm at home to try to get a last_kmsg
[HTC Sensation] jafazec:
yeah,it seems its a hard reboot issue,cause i get to see splash,boot animation...How quickly do i have to execute this command after the reboot happens?
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
This kernel is great! I'm using it with IC 5.1.7 and it is the first time that a friend of mine ( iFan ) admitted that Android is better than iOS :D ! I'm having random reboots too ( 1 or 2 everyday ) especially when data is enabled! I was using Sebastian's 1.78 OC/UV kernel for a while before bricked kernel showed up for ics and never had this before! It might have something to do with GPU OC but I'm not the expert here :) ! I'll try to provide a logcat! Thanks again show-p!
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
You have time until you reboot the next time :p

I did not have a single unwanted reboot here =/

Just reporting,

VirtuousInquisitio4.0.1, had one reboot on your 0.5 Kernel in a day.

HyperNonsense1.5, also had one reboot on your 0.5 Kernel in a day

Will wait for 0.6 to try again... but glad to see you are continuing your kernel work!
[HTC Sensation] sinisjekkt:
Hey Show! How can i get this Kernel log?

Greetings,

[HTC Sensation] sinisjekkt:
I think this should be it right?

---i flashed a new theme from shnizlon minutes before and had no reboot since then. I think this las kmsg is more or less useless if there is no random reboot since a normal reboot right?

greetings sin
[HTC Sensation] jafazec:
Ok show-p1984,here is the file,hope it helps ;) It's been an hour since last random reboot...Needed to rar the file,in order to attach it to this post. let us know what happened :)

[HTC Sensation] jafazec:
Nevermind,I could live with couple of reboots from time to time :) The most important thing is that you are able and willing to fix this ;)

And yeah,wanted to ask one more thing..When I reboot the phone or when it reboots itself(when bug occurs), usually battery percentages go wild either up or down..Is this normal and is it kernel or rom related?

[HTC Sensation] jafazec:
Great,will test in the morning,see if reboots continue,but I'm sure you fixed it ;)

Can you please answer my questin about this battery percentage jumps I described in previous post?

Thanks again for all the work!
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
That is battery related ;)

% come directly from the battery and are not modified by the kernel (they are just handed through). It could be possible that the rom is doing stuff with them, but I doubt that.
[HTC Sensation] jafazec:
So,this means my batt is bad,damaged?It started doing this recently,and I've seen before that people were talking that this has happened to them too(not on your specific thread,but all over the place) so I thought it could be kernel/rom related..
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
I've seen posts about bad battery driver support on Sensation since I got my phone last year.
[HTC Sensation] arachnid1970:
Just to give feedback, i just flashed beta 0.55 and everythings running great so far...give nothing about those benchmark scores, so i didnt run one of those...lagfree governor seems to get my favourite, device is responding superfast, guess about battery cinsumption

Sent with my coin inserted Sensation XE ;)
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
Flashed 0.55 some minutes ago, will report in the afternoon or evening, since I'm going to enjoy the sun (aka field studies ;)). I still have a last_kmsg from 0.5, after a random reboot, do you still want it, since the version isn't up to date?

ps: I'm using bricked since... I don't know - maybe ever! Also ICS version since 0.2, as always, I love it! The kernel together in the combination with a nice dev, who isn't in about all the drama and relies on open-source ALL the time, that's just how it should be. I think it's donation time again, I'll check my finances when I'm back home ;).

pps: There is one minor issue, I think it should be a known one, I'll post it anyway. Sometimes the screen doesn't wake up, when I press the power button. The device is active anyway, when I press the lock ring and pull it upwards, the device will unlock and the screen will activate. Also pulling the status bar down will work! Just with a non activated screen. I hope you got me, maybe I'm abled to reproduce it and make a video of it later.

Running InsertCoin 5.1.7 with beta v0.55 and can't confirm that issue. Running everything at kernel default, no changes of governor or frequency.

You should open up a new issue at the tracker and deliver some logs over there.

Confirmed wakeup issue. If I just let sit mine there for a few seconds it comes back to life on it's own cO

Can't do anything about that until this evening. (gf wants to go shopping... AGAIN...:rolleyes:)

[ 5041.544769] [WLAN] add pfn: Hair Gallery

I lol'd :D

Confirmed Power Button restart. Pressed mine ~10times within 2 seconds = reboot.

Still KGSL related. The 2D cores get stuck. Same for the wakeup problem. (the reboot issue is in fact the wakeup problem, but since you don't wait for it to wakeup but send the device to sleep immediately it will results in an error because the cores are already sleeping => reboot)

Fixing this evening. Just don't rape your Power Button for now and everything should be fine :p
[HTC Sensation] anko184:
Just an update, i only pushed power button twice and phone restarted ;)

What..?? It's just a wlan router :p:cool:
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Hello Showp, excellent update, all working fine here on InsertCoin Sense 3.6 ;)

Btw, what's the point of Lazy and Lagfree governor ? Both seems smooth for the UI (wich is the most important thing for me).

But will one save more battery ? Have you a wiki for this governor ? :p
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Found this for Lagfree:

Lazy, if I had to guess, is probably even slower scaling up to max.
[HTC Sensation] G23 Mr Gimp:
I can confirm the power button issue here too. Using Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.1 and stock ROM I am seeing the same issue.

Apart from that, I am really adoring this kernel. I flashed from the Sebastian FM latest, and am seeing massively better battery life using this one :)

Good work show-p :)

In the OP for features when it states:

Does this mean at 1566 the UV stops? Or 1566 is the highest freq you can go with the UV still active? Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] LBN1:
Running v0.55 on Lagfree governor, no reboots yet. Also repeatedly tried the power button and could not cause a reboot (hit it like 15 times in rapid succession), so all good here. On HyperNonsense1.5. Nice work so far!

Edit: v0.55 just gave me a hard reboot; once not on wi-fi just cellular, checked some email, then it rebooted.

Hey Show, i have a weird error showing up on logcat. I doubt its a kernel issue. I want to be sure it is not your kernel so can you tell me what this means? Thank you :]

on screen battery Life: is there a possibility to let the cpu clocking @192 when you really do nothing but screen is on. example: when i open system tuner and it shows me the clock, it jumps to much to the high clocks, even if i do nothing but just watch at it. i doubt that systemtuner is doing it by refreshing the screen to show the informations. You know, like Windows with Quad or Duo cores. the clock really just goes up when you open Programms etc. but if you do nothing it stays down. I dont know how Android/Htc devices handle it (mpdecision?). i hope you understand i wrote xP

Does lagfree conserve battery better than ondemand?
[HTC Sensation] lampshade90:
dude serious, search it was mentioned here 200 times before

just for you:

'lagfree' - this driver is rather similar to the 'ondemand'

governor both in its source code and its purpose, the difference is

its optimisation for better suitability in a battery powered

environment. The frequency is gracefully increased and decreased

rather than jumping to 100% when speed is required.

(Its smoother and doesnt jump in frequencies)
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
Sorry I have had the Sensation for only 4 days now. Checked OP and the differences weren't posted in there. Thanks for replying just for me.

[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
How are we supposed to Undervolt AND overclock?

There is only one possibility. Ofc I needed to increase the voltage above 1566Mhz to make it stable.

(You can't archive more outcome with less power cO)

Not a kernel prob ;)

Very much appreciated!

[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Lagfree is actually worse for battery than normal OnDemand. You want to have CPUs race to idle. As soon as CPUs are done with their work you want them to ramp down instantly to idle so they can be offlined by mpdecision or wait in Wait for Interrupt (WFI) loop. By artificially crippling the instant ramp down, you force CPUs to stay online longer than they are needed. This is why lagfree's is smoother than OnDemand because CPUs are online longer therefore more responsive.

If you want smoother experience with your phone but don't mind the extra battery drain, then lagfree is good, otherwise OnDemand is better for battery though not as "lagfree" ;)

[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Well the GPU is now overclocked to 320Mhz, which will cause some additional heat. Furthermore is ICS using GPU accelerated stuff around every corner which increases load on the system too. So if you do a direct comparison then it is normal that ICS based stuff is warmer than gingerbread ;)

Now go ahead and try 0.55-b2, like 10 minutes ago :p

After installing Bricked kernel v0.5 i'm having the auto Wifi on issue back.

Is this issue kernel related? If so maybe the fix for this issue can be integrated in the kernel.

Hey show-p i seen it somewhere that the gpu can be taken upto 400mhz on s3 soc (adreno 220)
[HTC Sensation] drakexpl:
Thanks for the new version, I test every beta/stable from you. Everytime it's brilliant. Thanks again!
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Nope, the Adreno 225 (s4) is clocked at 400Mhz as a result of a smaller manufacturing process.

I tried Overclocking my GPU to 380, in the process I got some really nice looking artifacts on my screen (and **** in my underwear when I saw it ^^), luckily I always test sth like this with the battery in pull range ;)

I had it safely running with 350 though, but the performance increase is negligible. (It gets too fast too hot and is being thermal throttled, with nearly no performance increase as a result.)

Afaik it is not kernel related.

It's more like this:

Your phone needs internet for.. well for whatever reason it needs internet but you have no mobile connection available. You phone will then activate Wifi and search for a network it knows, connect, do it's stuff and then power down. Afaik it's a sense 3.6 "feature" (also Sense 4.0).
