what has the kernel to do with your widgets?

regarding the camcorder issues: Clear the cam app data/cache and retry.
[HTC Sensation] Billyvnilly:
Oh I had just assumed it would have had something to do with it since after installing the new kernel, thats when the icons in the widget didn't draw correctly. :confused:

Yes, clearing the data fixed cam issue, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] csheppard93:
I'm also getting freezing with camera. I have your cam fix and cleared cam data. Sometimes its after I take a pic and other times when I try to back out of it.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Are you 100% certain of that?

Also is it stock 3.5 cam or some amaze mod?

Which kernel version? (adb shell uname -a)

Had running the stock cam for many hours now, without problems.

Battery discharging ???

Hey Show-p how are you ??

Just a quick feedback on your 1.45-499 :)

I use it with ARHD 4.1.5 till yesterday I was using 1.45-490 with no dramas at all that I could find under normal circumstances. Ex, I frequently use Locations and Google navigator, also use a HTC car charger.

Last night I flashed 1.45-499 to give it a go, went about my business today as usual, however I noticed some very interesting stuff. I was using navigator, as I do everyday, when I stopped to refuel, the phone shut itself off, when I turn the car off (expected) didn't turn on, had to remove batt etc. It had only about 65% left on the batt, interesting tho' was that it was plugged on the charger in the car all morning. I noticed the red led ( charging / full charge etc) was flashing, still plugged on the charger. went to hav a look on batt status (Menu/ about phone / battery / battery status, it was DI(s)CHARGING !!! I couldn't see the exact word coz' I was driving , with the charger plugged in mind you. Never seeing that one b4.

Hope I could help, let me know if you would like to get more details on this one

I wil check the 1.45-509 tonight to see if is doing the same thing

Hope I could help,

Bloody love your work BTW !!!

Which version

Is 3.0 the targeted version for this kernel? Because while I do like 3.5 it just isn't up to standards for everyday use and stability since it's only a link. The only reason I ask is because I'm comparing your kernel with faux and trying to find the best fit for my phone.:D
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
You had a freeze, during which the processor was stuck. That's why it drained battery and was not charging anymore ;)

it's based on 2.3.4 but heavily modified to work with 2.3.5.

I would say 2.3.4/5 at the moment. I am using it on my phone with 2.3.5, because it is my daily driver.
[HTC Sensation] stevendph:

[HTC Sensation] lainemac:
So would you say that 0.91 is still the best for 3.0?

I also posted a question about cpu tuner a page or 2 back, if you could answer that it would be awesome!
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Nope, I will (against my previous statement) try to make future version stable on both 3.5/0.

So at the moment #509 should work on 3.5 and 3.0, with the usual cut backs in the 3.5 camera (no ZSL =/)

what is cpu tuner? do you mean system tuner?

System tuner shows 1536/192 for me ;)

BTW:

I srsly doubt that THC will release ZSL drivers for our sensation before ICS.

Edit:

ROFL!

I swear that was not intentional! I meant HTC ofc :D

Flashed #509 some minutes ago, will report in the evening. First "bug" (if you can call it like that) I found: flashing message in recovery still says something about "copying zcache modules" or so. I doubt that it's really copied, just for your information ;).

Phone/UI feels really good, as it already did with #505.

Swyped from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
[HTC Sensation] cecc500:
Does #509 compatible with sense3.0?
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
@ Show-p1984

I know what your gonna say, "No Log No Cure"

But i have to inform you that build #509 consumes a lot more power then #505 when the screen is on.

Idle time is perfect...

I flashed your #509 7 hours ago and went to work.

At work we have a lot of reception distortion so while i'm at work i put my phone in flightmode.

And play with my phone when having a coffee break.

So this is also my batt life reference.

I went to work with 100%

In flightmode it uses roughly 1% per 2 hours, (this is great)

But in my coffee break (30min) i end the flightmode and in those 30min it uses 9% with me doing nothing.

On #505 i got after a 8hours working day aprox 80 to 90% batt left.

Today at #509 i got after a 6hour working day 60% left.

If i look at current batt widget i can't tell which app uses more power.

Everything seems normal and my phone isn't hot so the CPU doesn't throttle to full when in idle.

Just my 2 cents but could it be that the Zcache is using a lot of resources?

Because when in idle the batt usage is great (1% per 2hours).

But when the screen is on the batt % is dropping like a stone.

I have my clockspeed set via init.d script at:

1188mhz @ 192mhz = Wake up

384mhz @ 192mhz = screen off

Edit:

Flashed back #505 and do it al over again with the same configuration and see what happens
[HTC Sensation] escalator:
509 runs great. THX a lot.
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
Do bear in mind how amazingly inaccurate battery % meter is

According to mine at times my battery life is almost infinite, 12+ hours screenoff no drop

After a period like that any use will result in it dropping like a stone so sometimes that indicates < 2 hours battery life with phone in use and at other times my % goes from 99 to 100% whilst not on charge, so it can presumable draw current from the atmosphere!

Not what i would call reliable or accurate;)
[HTC Sensation] Catpoule:
well i'm not a great tester but i have not seen any issues till now ... it seems to be ok, but i can not report for battery life ....

i don't have lags for the moment, it is smooth. :p
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
Thx for noticing that.

But you have to know i fixed the batt jumping and dropping in my rom.

Thats why i report this cause since this fix it didn't occur until i flashed #509
[HTC Sensation] hlenforcer:
sorry, dont wan´t to flame and sorry for OT, but how should this be possible? did you developed a new battery driver for Sensation? And every dev i asked until now could not really explain how the batterystats.bin works, in what format the information is stored and calculated ... Would be really a suprise if this would not happen on your rom ... Our battery management is ****ty and needs ages to settle in, collecting 6+ full cycles makes the battery % more linear, but it never seems to be that correct that the battery curve is 100% linear to have the ability to measure kernel battery drain in dropping % per time ... just my own opinion ...
[HTC Sensation] Desperanto86:
Great, man! I like your ROM... Its just perfecr for me (clean, fast, stable, etc.) I'm waiting for new version of your ROM :rolleyes:

[HTC Sensation] krps13:
Can you boost up the volume for phone call?
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
Offtopic Mode:

This is going way offtopic so if you wanna discuss this please see my thread.

Only thing i wanna say is this.

The batterystats.bin is indeed a big mystery.

I'm not a dev, genius, magician or a god.

It is/was just simple thinking from my side.

At some point i even mentioned this solution in the Insertcoin thread.

I don't know if Baad or any other Rom chef pick it up.

But from my experience i can tell it works and never heard any issues about this fix from my users.

My previous phone was a HTC Desire which had the same problem when a leaked 2.3.3 came out.

I forgot from who but a guy from my thread for the Desire rom came with a solution to solve this problem.

At the time Sense 2.3.5 came out to our Sensations the same problem occurs so the first thing came up to my was that fix.

As mentioned in my thread i implanted this fix in version v1.2 i believe.

And voila..... It worked

Ontopic

I have to say I noticed this too, most of the time the volume is quite low, I have to struggle to hear the other person and hold the phone tight to my ear. And in the car, on handsfree over BT, I have to turn the audio system volume almost to maxim to understand the other person. Normally such a volume level would shatter the windows :)

[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
:eek: hm... maybe the calibration isn't correct, check the volatage status might be more accurate. Full charge 4188mv, 0% is about 3.3xxx.

@showp, is it possible to implement the recycle bin? the most painful one of using *nix systems, rm = vanish forever. When accidentally delete something not intended is gone forever.

[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
I saw that too right after I put it up, but was too lazy to make a new zip, delete the download and upload it again :p

yes.

Try checking that again, normally that can't be accurate and happening ;) (505 and 509 are nearly the same except a few tweaks)

BTW: Zcache is deactivated in #505 and #509.

The volume is no longer controlled by the kernel on the msm 8x60 socs. It is controlled by the libs inside your rom. That means that I can't do anything about that, somebody needs to hack the libs or you need to use Volume+ from the market. (I believe that it was called like that)

Yeah ofc, v1.5 will also have a built in cow, so that you can have a fresh glass of milk every morning.

The kernel is a software <-> hardware interface. Nothing more, nothing less.

You are also trying to pin the windows mentality on linux.

Windows is assuming the user is wrong, because he does not know what the **** to do. Hence there is a recycle bin, shadow copies, and everything is so far from the reality of how a computer works that I just need to shiver. You could say that Windows lies to you to make sure that you do not make any mistakes because you have no clue, and if you do, you can revert those mistakes.

Linux is assuming the user is right. Always. It assumes that you know what the **** you are doing to it, and that you are aware of the risks and outcomes of such actions. Hence it is possible to do a rm -Rf /. (whoever does that now to his phone: *loud laugh*)

The recycle bin is ofc not kernel related. It needs to be built in by the rom you are using. Additionally the rm command needs to be rewritten to update instead of just deleting the index.

hint: The windows command prompt does not use the recycle bin either if you delete something! So that would be the first time that such function would be implemented. And I would hate it.

the screen off switch of my modded ondemand is not exported to sysfs at the moment. So you can't control that. But if you have set ondemand as default, it will work.

I'm comming a little late for feedback, show-p is hyper-productive :D

Well, just to say that I had more battery drain with test #490/495 than with 472, but this drain is fixed (for me at least) in test #505

....

and I'm about to flash 509 right now

this drain in test 490/495 was for me mainly when screen was ON, my cores were most of the time never at their minimum freq, even if I had no big app or game started. Also my phone was getting warm more easily when playing a game.

With #505, my CPU1 was going more easily to offline, CPU0 more easily to a low freq, and the phone was less warm playing the same game

I'm sure I will enjoy #509, just reading the latest feedbacks here!

And Show-p, a big thanks for keeping the compatibility with Sense 3.0 ROMs

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

If I use bricked on arhd does that mean that I'll lose the tweaks built into the kernel since it is designed to run faux?
[HTC Sensation] yepayepa:
Should I explain how to use the search button?
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
As you're using ARHD, like me, let me explain (even if it's quite off-topic here, but it may completly stop this off-topic discussion^^)

I guess you're talking about the overclock Daemon, to set Screen ON and Screen Off frequencies and governors. This Dameon is built with Faux123 kernels by Mike1986 into ARHD

If you flash Bricked kernel, you won't lose the Daemon, it is installed into the ROM, you'll keep the possibility to set your frequencies with this overclock Daemon, just as usual.

As for losing some tweaks, well....if some are lost, more a gained, you can flash Bricked kernel without any problem.

Since I'm off-topic already, do you guys want a funny thing? Faux Clock (on o/c tool, for those who didn't know) can't read the CPU0/CPU1 state (offline or online) and frequencies of Faux's kernels, but it can actually read it with Bricked kernel installed. :p

Hey Show,

Im using (and loving) .91 on sense 3.0 on civic's stock tmoUS rom. Just noticing some lag/choppiness when flipping between homescreen widgets. Is this most likely just sense 3.0 or could this have to do with the kernel? thanks in advance

Also, is 110 degrees F considered hot after 5 -10 min of surfing the web?

Found a problem in Test #509

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Let the phone go into standby

2. Call the cell phone from another phone

3. The phone will ring and the cap buttons light up, but no screen!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Screen should turn on showing you who is calling and allow you to press answer.

I also have this same problem in Test #505. If I flash back to Test #427, the problem is gone. Using IC v2.2.5 SSE (2.3.4 Sense 3.0).

[HTC Sensation] pigbrother:
Erm, sorry, I didn't get this part. :D

So, if I use SetCPU for underclocking, select ondemand scalling and "set at boot", this will override your custom ondemand script behaviour?

...and yes, thank you very much for Sense 3.0 support.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
That's why you shouldn't use stock roms, they lag, no matter which kernel you use. especially tmous roms :p

Everything is subjective, if you for example browse on the full browser youtube page, while viewing some videos in the browser, then this is amazingly cool (if my math doesn't let me alone that should be around 43°C).

OTOH can your phone handle temperatures of 80°C over long periods.

Oo. I tried to recreate this issue for at least 50 trys on 3 sense 3.0 roms. (my backup of ic 2.2.5sse, p3d, arhd)

No luck. So without log, no help. But I doubt that this is kernel related, probably some app creating nasty screen off profiles.

Thank you very much!

*drinks beer*

Nope, ondemand mod will always limit the cpu to your min frequency if screen is off. However if there is a long period of high load, it will disable itself and let the cpu's power loose. This will help to prevent drainage, even if it is clocking higher then. (a cpu @ 100% load uses 4times more power than a cpu @50% load)

########################################

So if I see this correctly I can let 1.5 loose ;)

I will increase the ZRAM size slightly for the final (120MB), make a few tests and then release it.

I actually hit 97MB ZRAM usage after 14 hours of usage =/

(ok, I really tried to reach 100MB xD)

[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Depending on some other factors, but essentially a dualcore cpu with both cores @ 50% is using much less power than one core of it @ 100%.
[HTC Sensation] dingolino:
Ok

Would it be possible than that the kernel is limiting max CPU speed for 1 running app than - let's say to 800MHz? And jump in in with the 2nd CPU quicker to give adequate CPU power to other tasks?

Would it be possible to bind some specific OS tasks to CPU 1? (I think I saw somewhere something like this)

Just thinking what is possible to save battery in a smart way

Best regards
