Camera is freezing on me :( Have to do a battery pull. I'm on Stock rooted 2.08.401.1 and came from stock kernel. I also flashed the cam_fix.zip posted on the first post, but still no dice.
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
I´m testing bricked 1.2 final with arhd 4.1.0 (sense 3.5). Everything smooth and stable. 2 issues to mention:

- SetCPU is showing wrong freq.: it says 310 MHz at the slider instead of 384 MHz

- Cam_Fix.zip from 1st page is working but camcorder crashed once. (only app, i was able to kill Camera in taskmanager)

Thank you for this awfull work. :)
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Kernel default is 192 min. As long as your rom chef isn't overwriting this in his init.post_boot.sh, you are fine without OC apps.

Forgot about that. Well it's really annoying to build 300 different versions for everyones liking. Just use the init.post-boot.sh and set your desired clocks / voltages there, that should work as good.

192Mhz is completely sufficient for everything.

Thank you very much appreciated!

The kernel would clock itself with default clocks, 1536/192. (as long as your init.post_boot.sh or some other script isn't overwriting that)

Your scaling_max is already a borderline. The cpu won't go over that.
[HTC Sensation] secano:
He said awful...lol

Anyways...camera launches here, but after I take a pic or record a vid, it freezes immediately and can't do anything else.

EDIT: NEVERMIND...camera now works after 3 battery pulls...
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
My SetCPU shows the correct clocks. try menu->Device Selection->Autodetect and check again.

@Camcorder: It's old libs on new rom. There may be some bugs. Anyway it seems as we are stuck with this solution until someone (most likely HTC) offers a solution for our driver problem.

I just hope he didn't mean awful and just wrote the wrong word :D

3rd time now in this thread.

Yes, Ofc! I increased the GPU Memory! Where the heck would I take that from if not from the ram??? I can't poo some new memory in your phone with a new kernel!

(btw, I did that a few versions back, nobody noticed this until now...)

To everyone:

Please use the search next time. I am getting tired answering the same questions over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

Show-p, do you know why none VNC server type app works here? Is it rom or kernel related? If they even start, the screen is garbled... kinda like those problems with power+home screenshots.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Np, I snapped for a sec ;)

Teamviewer works for me. I don't use anything else, but it might be ROM related, since the screenshot issue (if even related) is there since 2.3.5 base.

Which Insertcoin version? There is no 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 Oo

Have you over/underclocked anything? Over/undervolted? If so, please return back to stock values. (and delete your init.post_boot.sh)

Logs @ issuetracker?
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
+1 on this one

Using 1.2 version of the kernel, Android Revolution Rom 3.6.0, no overclock ( 1.18 Ghz Max, 192 min - default speeds ) no undervolting, no memory tweaks, using System Tuner Pro - had this happen 3 times now, whereas with 0.91 it never acted like this

Edit: i installed logcat, will post logs if i can reproduce it again

Edit2: 2 of the times happen when in Gallery, scrolling and zooming through pictures, i don.t know if it.s coincidence
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
again, logs @ issuetracker please. Mine does not have those issues.

Here are the steps again:

______________________________________________

If you have everything @ default, and you are sure it is not ROM related:

Open a post in the issue tracker and send me this log: (It has to be made DIRECTLY AFTER the reboot. That means, your device freezes/reboots/malfunctions, you reset it, you are back @ homescreen and you make the log!

adb shell uname -a > C:\Path\to\where\you\want\it\to\go\uname.log

adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > C:\Path\to\where\you\want\it\to\go\last_kmsg.log

If you don't need to reboot it, because it is just a temporary problem, do this:

adb shell uname -a > C:\Path\to\where\you\want\it\to\go\uname.log

adb shell cat /proc/kmsg > C:\Path\to\where\you\want\it\to\go\kmsg.log

Then let the problem occur. After that close the running cmd-window.

[HTC Sensation] dingolino:
Hi Show - sorry I posted it in the wrong thread, just copied it to your thread

Hi Show,

your explanation makes sense, I have a question on the 98% load for CPU0 when cpu1 is jumping in.

The following is a perception from my side I have not gone into all details:

As far as I remember the voltage and therefore the energy increase is not linear with the clock speed increase. for a linear "small" increase in clock speed you need normaly much more voltage increase to run this clock speed stable.

I think this is the case at least if you overclock significantly.

98% CPU load on 1.7GHz has a different energy consumption (higher) than 98% on 1.56 or 1,2 GHz

Therefore my assumption is that the higher the max frequenz is the lower the "entry" point for the 2nd cpu should be to kick in to have a good balance between performance and energy consumption.

But I must confess that this thinking is going back to the days when the 1st dual core desktop processors came out.

>a specified hardcoded kernel value (Bricked: 98% load)

If this is something you can make some day available to play with - therefore not hardcoded - would be a nice thing to play with.

Best regards,

dingolino

The second cpu is an extension to the first. If the first reaches a specified hardcoded kernel value (Bricked: 98% load), the second will be activated to take all load that will not be able to be handled by the first one.

If you now activate the 2nd CPU @ CPU1:1026Mhz , the 2nd CPU will have nothing to do
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
It does not work that way. Despite underlying Linux OS almost all apps on Android are single threaded - that means they can't execute on 2 CPUs simultaneously. They run on only one so the faster CPU the faster the program runs. Only background task would run on second CPU and there are not so many of them (if you look @ some task manager or top in terminal they take 0-15% of CPU @ 192Mhz so not much really), on top of the requirement of some of them to run on CPU0. That is why in most cases even forcing CPU1 online has so low an impact on program/game performance. It might be useful (if possible) to set a program/game affinity to CPU1 only, clock it to the max and downclock CPU0 to say 192, to let it deal with system tasks. I am not so knowledgeable about CPU synchronization in Android to say if that would be faster - let the masters say if they know :).

I think that 98% is a good value as the system tasks rarely take more cpu time.

I did observe slightly higher benchmark scores with CPU1 forced online but there was no effect on system smoothness (for me at least).

Turning CPU1 online @ 60% of CPU0 usage is a waste of power considering that in most cases the CPU goes from 5% to 100% in an instant (almost) and then CPU1 is turned on anyway - the only delay is the time it takes to power up CPU1.

You could argue that the latency of turning on CPU1 @ 50% would better hide in ramping up CPU0 frequency so it is ready to roll (or closer to) when 100% on CPU0 is reached but I really don't know the timings involved.

And a question from me to Show-p :

What would be better in power/performance ratio - running @ 1720 or 1560 with cache speedup?
[HTC Sensation] r3v0Lut10n:
thats not about kernel ... es updated recently. try astro file manager, u'll notice the same :P
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
http://www.multiupload.com/87GTEH0LS5 - contains modified libs and bins too - THIS SHOULD WORK ON EVERY ROM WITH SENSE3.5 - you'll have bricked v 1.2 #5 final kernel and working camera with bitrate selector as a bonus - be aware brust mode on camera will cause fc
[HTC Sensation] M pro:
Anyone else getting poor jave scores with 1.2?

with 91 I'm getting around 3800 but with 1.2 its down to 2000
[HTC Sensation] dingolino:
you are right.

>all apps on Android are single threaded

as long as this is the case a dual core cpu for android is more or less just a marketing thing.

This is my simplified conclusion than.

We need to wait till in the future the new dual core resource are getting use in a better way. But this was the case also in the beginning when the 1st desktop computers came our with dual cores.

best regards,

dingolino
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
sadly its taken a little for dual core to be fully implemented... ICS should be an improvement however apps also need to be reconfigured then our phones/tabs are going to be INSANE!

[HTC Sensation] :
Hi,

Ok,thanks for the reply,I think I understood :D,I change nothing.

Today I have more time to test this kernel, always perfect in speed,very responsive and smooth.

With my setup (I have not changed anything) against no change in the level of battery consumption (no undervolting in System Tuner), but ... okay, this kind of phone is not a 3310:D,i saw and with the other qualities of the kernel, i do not care a bit :D

I'll test today the cpu freq at 1.53 (before always 1.35/ondemand for me) and see what happens,is already more responsive and I would see for the battery...,and I will test also with force dual core in System Tuner,just for see.

In cf bench,after reboot with clock cpu to 1.53/on demand: overall score is at 6999.

Benchs are just for see for me,just to get an idea...As the phone is always or more smooth/fast/stable it's the most important.

Still really a great job on this kernel!

Another question (Perhaps I should ask instead 3c?),in System Tuner when i change frequency/governor is it better to reboot the phone?

I asked this because sometimes i don't see any improvments before i reboot the phone :confused: (perhaps may be related to the ram?).

PS:and for the Badass governor,some news (not for a date of realese,just to know if there is anothers tests/results)?Without being pushy (or "without wanting to be stressing",arff Google translate :D).

[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
Nope My Java Score hangs around 4200...

And for those who have low CF-Bench scores.

It just how you configure your proc speed.

Lets say your proc is like a gearbox from a car.

If the gear ratio is to big you'll need more time to get at maximum speed.

But if the gear ration is made smaller you'll be quicker at maximum speed.

The also includes our procs.

I use setcpu to configure my proc and did the following.

First i set the min and max speed in the home screen @ 704mhz - 1536mhz

Then i made profile for screen of and have set this one to 192mhz min - 384mhz max (For the power saving)

Reboot your device and try the cf-bench again

Now with setcpu configured you'll see that your score ends up higher cause the core doesn't have to throttle from 192mhz all the way up.

Why i set this min speed so high is when you look at your stats if u use your phone it will always stays at around 700mhz.

Note:

Not all Sensations are the same so your score can be higher or lower then mine.

Which exactly options were fine-tuned by you in the lash kernel release? ARHD changes a lot of them in post boot script and I would like to know which of them to delete or maybe get rid of the whole script?

Or maybe I send you the script and you could delete all that is not needed?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
That's a debug feature, and I kicked every debug crap that I could find and delete without compromising other features out of the source for performance reasons. The features itself are not so bad for our performance, but how it's coded... I was shivering... There is a 20xloop with in the mainthread, just for an example. Or the HTC Debug docking station stuff, completely not relevant, and no config option :(

So I just kicked it out ;)

Thanks ;) I was gonna write the same ;)

You are sure about that? Why don't you post logs and all available information @ issuetracker then?

all related to the sys cpufreq settings can be deleted out of your init.post_boot.sh.
