showp-1984: Thank you for the exceptional battery life... 2 days and 20 hours on beta2 and 4.... (to be fair, my sensation was idle for a long time, i am using a anker battery, and some tasker task to enhance battery life)

I would have appreciated a 1,2Ghz version but I will compile it myself, when show becomes more idle as new beta versions are released faster than I can compile :)

To express my gratitude: 4MX834125T449005F

cpu.

Using no OC apps will ofc increase performance a bit, depending on the oc app and the settings used.

Kernel, look a few lines below.

Thank you very much!

Additionally I have something awesome to announce:

LeeDrOiD and I have bundled our efforts to bring you one masterpiece of kernel! Prepare for awesomeness in 3, 2, 1, ... :cool:

Now we would only need snq- to jump the wagon and we would have one dream team :p
[HTC Sensation] ausaras:
Hi Show! Just tried out your spanking new XE based kernel. Don't know if it is just me but compass isn't working, and GPS has trouble locking on.

Flashed back to beta 4, compass working again, and GPS locked in 80 seconds.

Thank you and LeeDroid for the development!
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Thanks for the finding.

GPS is probably having trouble to lock on because of the compass malfunction. Will look at it in the morning, gn8 ;)
[HTC Sensation] TwelveSided:
Omg can't wait!!
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Something really weird happened to me today, after flashing the new test version i've noticed that when i turn on the phone a new red led (different from the notification led located at the top right) turns on below the proximity sensor at the top left of the screen :eek: i tried reflashing the rom (ARHD 3.6.7) and changing the kernel to the beta 4 but the red led still there, i also restore a nandroid backup i made before flashing the test version but didnt work either.

This have never happened to me and i dont know if i should be worried about it. last resort is superwipe but i dunno if this is gonna help.

Anyone have this led that turns on just in the first 4 or 5 secs when booting?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] bm150:
run xe test to as I have one, can confirm compass not working and makes my nav software fc. When it did run, gps didn't seem to have an issue.

Also had an issue trying to reboot into recovery. Seemed to do a quick reboot, which I remember happing on stock, out of the box. Only did it once, coz I took the battery out to get into recovery and back to beta 4. So do test before worrying about it to much.

Thanks for the hard work!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
I have had it intermittently on a few of the roms I've used (can't remember which roms and I haven't had it for a while now) and IIRC someone mentioned it is to do with the infrared sensor. Nothing to worry about though.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Thanks for your answer. Did you do something to fix it? because i just superwiped and reinstalled the rom and i still have the ir led issue when booting ... this is driving me crazy
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Thats so true, he's just crazzy when it comes to kernels, but also in android in general, he fixed so manny problems for Desire that we thinked he works for HTC..

Anyways does snq even has Sensation? If not, maybe we should get him one, with so manny users everybody who can just donates few $ and gets super pure awesomeness in return :)

Just idea...

And BTW Beta2 is Fu$$ing faast, all test (Quadrant, AnTuTU and so) show about 10% boost, which i couldnt get never with any kernel, and UI is so fast and responsive. I only hope black screens dont come back.
[HTC Sensation] Snah001:
Well finally two devs are using their senses and unite. Why this not happened before?

Probably due to different not matching personalitiesI guess.

When all devs would unite we would have awsome kernels and Rom's.

So now I am really looking forward to the first result and hopefully the release of ICS rom with Sense by HTC soon will give this bonding a real boost.

Excellent decision!!!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Nothing special. The only possible thing I can think of is that it may be rom related. I only had it when I first started flashing and I was also using ARHD roms then. May be coincidence, but try flashing another rom to see if you still get it.

No screen wakeup on incoming call XE Test #9

show, I want to inform you that the screen on incoming calls is not awakening (turning on) for me just like in the previous v1.5 bricked builds. When I get an incoming call, the phone will ring, vibrate, and the capacitive buttons will light up, but the screen will not turn on! Everything works, except the screen does not turn on :eek:

When I first flashed XE Test #9 everything worked fine, including the screen wakeup on incoming calls! But after my first battery recharge cycle, this problem showed up again! This is the same issue that I have been having on all the previous Bricked v1.5 builds.

The only thing I can narrow down is that the problem happens after the first full battery recharge cycle. I know this isn't much to go on, but I don't know what else to do to help find the cause of this persistant bug for me.

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

Yes, happens to me all the time. I doubt it is anything to worry about.
[HTC Sensation] ploep678:
Just flashed newest xe kernel. Also with camfix i still have the problem that when i return out the camera app after focusing the phone freezes. Is there any possibility to fix that ?

What about zram - is it enabled in this test built?

What does the new "Smartass2 config" mean? Is this govenour now better suitable for 2 cores?

Best regards,

[HTC Sensation] inferno0270:
This one happens to me also, sometimes.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
It's a wakeup issue I am currently addressing.

My work would go much faster (like it did in the past few days) If my thread weren't reported for some GPL violation if it is simply not true. All sources+authors of the commits are present, even from the new Bricked_XE which is alpha. Credit is given, the authors names are all in the commits @ github. So I ask the haters: Where is your f*ckin problem?

*mad*
[HTC Sensation] guyd:
Thank you. I don't know if this bit of information is usefull to you or not, but I will share it. If I wipe the Dalvik Cache in recovery and reboot, the first incoming phone call I receive will wake up the screen normally. But any calls after that will not. I have tested this three times, and the same result happens each time.

You gotta be shi11ing me! What the heck is the problem with these haters?
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
Wifi

There are some kernels that can turn off wifi after the phone screen is off. Can Bricked v1.5 do this? Does wifi switch off when screen is off and turn back on automatically when screen on?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
No.

Why should it do this? Wifi usually requires less power than cell standby. Additionally it should be the users choice when he wants to disable wifi. I don't think I will implement this in the near or far future.
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
alright, thanks! I do experience my battery getting hot...but i'm still getting good battery life... ~16hrs. Any reason for battery getting hot ?
[HTC Sensation] yepayepa:
I agree. If you want such feature, why not using wifi poweroff policy?

Also, such kind of *feature* can kill your data plan, and bring you a nice surprise receiving your bill.

Just my 2cents.
[HTC Sensation] Smintz:
this sounds ****ing awesome. i cannot wait!

edit: what is this zram everyone is talking about? sorry noobquestion...
[HTC Sensation] yepayepa:
WTF! Really? It's well known that the source code is freely available to anyone.

Maybe mods should ban such a*s holes for lies.

Anyway, chill out show, there is a huge bunch of people who really appreciate your work, and are soooo thankful for the great piece of software you offer.
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
Use juice defender, it can do that for you. No point in doing this to a kernel...
[HTC Sensation] yepayepa:
I'm using llama, it's free and really useful.
[HTC Sensation] banesi:
Show, is it possible to make LED light notification to work as it's in CM build, to blink when it's on charging also when you receive notification, orange for sms, green for missed calls, longer than 5 min. period etc...?
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
5min time limit is gone since 1.5 version of the kernel, if i.m not mistaken...so i guess it will be in the next stable release
[HTC Sensation] uelue11:
But why is my wifi off when turning on screen and wifi reconnects? Bricked 1.5 beta 4... I like this 'feature' ;)
[HTC Sensation] DanielF50:
That's an android feature, if you leave you're WiFi connected and your phone is idle for too long, it will turn the WiFi off and connect again when you begin to use it.
[HTC Sensation] uelue11:
Ok, so why should show integrate it in kernel when we already got this feature ... ?
[HTC Sensation] DanielF50:
I think the op meant that they wanted the wifi to turn off instantly when they turned the screen off, and then back on as soon as the screen was turned back on :)
[HTC Sensation] bm150:
thanks. Running new xe test, and as you know its fixed, cheers I will stay with it and update if I find anything else. Can I just ask what's the main difference between xe and the 1.5 version?
[HTC Sensation] DanielF50:
Using the XE version of Bricked on P3D, and wow, the power button problem has been fixed, amazing! I thought it was a hardware problem for me! :D
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
Which power button problem.....weird behaviour, hardly ever turning screen off when pressed problem?

yep.. the power button works perfectly and turns screen off like it should (I had weird issue)

@Show-P. What have you changed to affect the power button? Thanks very much :)
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
I just took the kernel aside, and had a nice little chat with it. Afterwards it was very cooperative. :D

~120 new fixes and features

No Zram yet
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
awesome, cant wait to try out your new release once i fully test this default arhd 3.6.7 kernel. btw, is it possible to limit the notification led flash to say 30 min, 1hr, etc so that it doesnt flash overnight when i get a text when im asleep?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Why? If you think of that because of power usage, then I need to tell you that this LED could probably flash one year and our battery would still laugh about that "drain" :D

And I actually like that it flashes until the notification was read.
[HTC Sensation] DanielF50:
If I pressed the power button on the right hand side, it would turn the screen off, then back on again, but now it works perfectly :)

edit; only problem is, it doesn't fix it in recovery, would there be any way to do this Show, or would it need to be programmed into th recovery image?
[HTC Sensation] johnkristian:
Oh.. that's been bugging me too.

Saw there was a beta on a dropboxlink a few pages back, but it seems the link died (File removed). Any point of testing the new XE base yet, or is it too unstable?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Recovery has it's own kernel, hence you would need to unpack the recovery.img and include bricked inside the recovery image, then repack. I have no idea if this would work, since I never tried it. But who is using the power button in recovery? use the capacitive buttons!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44206202/pu...XE-TESTVERSION-ondmnd-1536-192.show-p1984.zip

Not unstable afaik. Most problems fixed.
[HTC Sensation] DanielF50:
Ahh, I see :) I use the hardware buttons as I came from a Hero :P
[HTC Sensation] johnkristian:
Ok, thnx. Downloading. Might flash tomorrow morning. Zzzz now :)

I'm on beta4 now. 12hrs, 65% left :D Is drain on xe base as good, or worse/better?
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
XE test seems good... I can't get it to lock/black screen. No idea about battery yet.
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
That's one hell of a changelog. I think I could boot into recovery, clear caches, flash, and complete the boot sequence before I could finish reading it, much less understand it. :D

Do you still recommend letting the kernel handle all of the stuff we usually find in init.d and init.post_boot scripts? (ie. swappiness, dirty ratio, blah blah, all that technical stuff I still don't know much about)
[HTC Sensation] ausaras:
I just flashed 1.6 beta 1. This is very subjective but I think the previous TEST VERSION felt smoother and more "in tune " with my Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
1.6 Beta 1 is flying, zero issues and the ir-led-on when booting problem is solved! this is the way this phone should feels in my hands. I'm thinkin' bout if its really neccessary to enable zram. The last kernel without zram enabled was 0.9.1 and it is one of the best kernel ever.

Good job dude
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
On 1.6 beta 1, ARHD 3.5.7 the ,,happy trigger,, power button fully fixed :) at least on my device, 10x for the perseveration show, as usual, top quality from you, im gonna see if the previous bugs still appear

[HTC Sensation] doctorlirio:
OK, i can confirm 0.55 works right with Insert Coin 2.5.1 I'll wait with 0.55 until you fix the 0.6

Thanks for your great work!!! if you need someone to test anything just say so, i'll do my best to try and help you :)
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
I tested 0.6 with !7! devices + my 2 here. = 9! and released it.

Then there were a few reports from reboots, I tested with 6 ppl the hotfix1. No errors, no reboots. FINE! Release!

And still this **** is happening.. I am very sorry and angry...

I have now tested with a few ppl in irc, Adreno OC seems to be partially responsible. I will dive into this pile of **** tomorrow -.-
[HTC Sensation] escalator:
0.6 was running fine 'till Batt.reaches 19%...

...now one reboot is hunting the Next. Completly unusable right now.

Im sure You can fix this :-)

Edit: my CPU is Not hot. I used the FireFox only.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
for me the reboots problems is the

thermald.conf

the cpu gets very hot and the thermald didnt kick in because has high conf. temp

from htc the thermald.conf is:

sampling 1000

[tsens_tz_sensor0]

sampling 3000

thresholds 55 65 75 85

thresholds_clr 52 60 70 80

actions cpu cpu cpu cpu

action_info 1134000 972000 648000 384000
[HTC Sensation] SatScan:
No problems, .6 is running great.

All oc/uv apps can't handle the separated CPU clocks jet. When I set CPU0 to 1.24 the Cpu1 stays on 1.56.

So when you use uv you got reboots

Greetings
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
this is what is in the rom

sampling 1000

[tsens_tz_sensor0]

So flashing the newer version will not break games again?

Because with the new xe base games are fine so don't wanna go backwards :P
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
The "new" xe base has a very old sensation 2.3.3 kernel running. That's why 3d games are working. It is a pretty old kernel.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
i will make my #1000 post to say.

your kernel is the best, the must smother, and i use ADW Launcher that needs a lot of juice ;)

[HTC Sensation] kaiser347:

I'm using v0.5 #1 with InsertCoin 2.4.3 ROM.

Cfbench 13***, 34**, 71**

Thanks for the best kernel...
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Really?? That's rubbish!!
[HTC Sensation] doctorlirio:
LOL, don't worry!!! you know... **** happens :)

You are doing a great job and together with baadnewz i'd say you both are the most valuable devs for the sensation IMO. You've given us the best combination of kernel/ROM available for our devices, so if 0.6 is having some issues then don't worry, you'll fix it for sure and we can wait a little bit with the excellent kernels you already have written for us.

In the meantime you can ask baad for a cigarette and have some good laughs at his answer ;)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
0.6 seems OK so far, I don't OC so can't see it being an issue for me. Graphically it seems a lot smoother, the carousel is a lot better than before. Nice one Show, any improvements on this are a bonus! :D
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
So does that mean using your kernel breaks games then?
[HTC Sensation] umd:
I had random reboots like you guys then I've flashed 0.5 after full wipe, booted up and removed system/etc/thermald.conf. Finally flashed 0.6. Now everything looks ok. No reboots.
[HTC Sensation] doctorlirio:
hey show_p1984!!!

I noticed that someone was not having problems with bricked v0.6 and IC 2.2.5 SSE combination, so i decided to test something...

I flashed v.06 hotfix over a clean install of IC 2.2.5 SSE and... it works without problems!!! Well, at least it does not reboot constantly, I have not tried for too long but i encountered no issues at all. Then i wiped everything again and flashed 0.6 hotfix on a new IC 2.5.1-2 (Ex base) clean install and encountered constant reboots again.

I thought that information could help you find the problem, in the same machine the v0.6 kernel works depending on the ROM used. Since baadnewz is the chef of both ROMs and you two seem to get along pretty well maybe he could help you locate what is so different between both ROMs, because v0.6 works on IC 2.2.5 SSE. ;)

I hope i've helped you at least a bit :)
[HTC Sensation] dingolino:
Edit ok I should be more precise:

Had reboots with 0.6 on 2.5.1-2 switched to 0.55 no reboots had problems with wifi than and compass orientation

installed a cwr backup and I am now back to my 2.3.4 stock and 0.6 Hotfix1 and no reboot so far

I was flashing the 1.72 shiped to get the radio and potential other newer firmware stuff

Had reboots after 1-2min installed now 0.6 Hotfix1 and since 30min it is running.

Will see how it goes over night.

Why smartass on sleep not conservative. Is there any benefits?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Yes you are right. At the moment there is no Zram included. Mostly because lack of time, but I suspect that Zram has slowed down things a bit too, I will need to test that more thoroughly.

The camhack is still experimental. In fact it's a very dirty hack.

Please make sure your cleared your camera app data and cache as well as the gallery app data and cache.

hi show,

do i need the normal sensation stock kernel before flashing youres or the xe stock kernel?

atm my chef put in fa*x kernel and i dont like it.

in the rom is also android 2.3.4with sense 3.0.

i first flashed noraml sensation stock rom and let it boot, after it booted i go ahead with flashing youre new beta and then i get bootloop:(

If you are on a completely stock ROM you will be on 2.3.4 right? (Don't know, lost track of stock roms xD)

if yes, flash this boot.img: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44206202/boot234-bricked091.img (Taken from Insertcoin 2.2.5SSE, credits to baadnewz)

Hi Show.

Quick report on beta1 1.6 kernel.

- definitely faster and smoother than 1.5r1 beta 4 on RCmix sense 3.5 ROM

- with 1.5r1 beta 4 opening exchange mail took 2 seconds, with 1.6 beta1 instantly.

- battery drain: about the same as 1.5r1 beta 4

- free ram with RCmix sense 3.5 about 190MB after 10 minutes after boot

- no bugs (standard camera from RCmix but I use LG Camera with no probs) after 5 hrs use
[HTC Sensation] Gtj94:
It works with aosp?

That is something i dont now

BUT it works with MIUI

i can record for ever with 720P HD

i can make call

quadrant is like 4000-4200 (overclocked to 1.78 ghz)

overall its quite good im very impressed :)

so C'mon test it on AOSP peeps
