Performance aside, what I noticed was that apps could be kept in background better. For example if I am using the browser and decide to keep it in background (by pressing home), do other stuff like market or Facebook, the page would remain there when I return.

Does the zram in the brick kernel use the sdcard?
[HTC Sensation] davebugyi:
Answered a page back... Nope, it does not.
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
Thanks man, sorry got confused with the statement i quoted that its not limited so sdcard made me think it can :)

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] gen129:
Generally, no. In theory - maybe a little because of in-memory compess/decompress when on versus sdcard read when off.
[HTC Sensation] jesterpaul:
Awesome. Thanks. Now able to capture screenshot by press and hold of power button from recovery menu selection. :o

Hi,

Will v1.1 use a swap partition on sd card out of the box ? Or do I need to add a script to init.d to activate it ?

And what size is recommended for such a swap partition ? 256, 512, 1024 Mb ?

Thx, JP.

PS: I'm testing without zram now, but I believe swap could be usefull anyhow ;)

EDIT : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, I just couldn't wait for an answer, so I've repartitioned my sd card (thanx to Minitool Parition Wizard it was quite fast, just the time to back up my data, but no need to restore :D).

Now I have a 1Gb swap partition on my SD card, made myself a script in init.d that activates it at boot (still need to test this), and btw I'm not using zram with this.

Let the testing begin ;)

Unfortunately my script in int.d won't bring swap on upon reboot :( I've inckuded a test to check if the partition /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 is present (sdcard init), and wait another 90secs if not, but to no success ...

Anybody got any clue as to why ?

EDIT : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forget it, dumb mistake, it's working ;)

Now only time will tell how this will work out in real day use...

Hi guys,

Had two "won't wake up from sleep" episodes in 24 hours, had to three-finger-salute to reset and get it alive.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29007105/last_kmsg.zip for last_kmsg, it does show a blocked state right at the end.

Using the defaults of 1.5Ghz/192Mhz/486Mhz/badass but I'm going to raise it to 384Mhz minimum to see if that helps.

[Edit] Not using ZRam by the way.

It's greats Kernel but Sweep2wake is drain my battery.Somebody had problem like Me?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Can't say I've noticed any difference in battery drain between with and without, but I'm still quite new to the Sensation, so maybe I don't have a proper feeling for this yet...

But I just love this feature !! :D

JP.
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
You are the only one having such an issue. It's a shame you haven't posted any details that could help others diagnose your problem.

I highly doubt any significant battery drain is being caused by sleep2wake though. That is unless you tend to rest your fingers on the touchscreen. :rolleyes:

Of course you can always re-flash the kernel and select to disable this feature altogether. Right..?

I/O Scheduler

After reading about the schedulers, I though I try out CFQ rather than the standard deadline which has be recommended long before.

Left Image settings: Bricked-3.0-v1,1-ics-maxkhz=1566000-minkhz=384000-maxscroff=432000, badass govenor, sleep2wake, deadline scheduler, balance, no OC on 2D/3D rendering, no zram.

Right Image settings: Bricked-3.0-v1,1-ics-maxkhz=1566000-minkhz=384000-maxscroff=432000, badass govenor, sleep2wake, CFQ scheduler, balance, low OC on 2D/3D rendering, no zram.

In comparision, CFQ has a HUGE performance boost with battery being used up quicker while deadline compensate performance with a longer battery life. Also notice from the benchmarks that low OC on 2D/3D rendering/graphic did little to no effect on the performance. So I asked my self why OC when performance is negligible?

This is based upon my phone, experience, and observations.

[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Correct me if I'm wrong but you're saying that with deadline scheduler battery life is better but performance worst, and oposite with cfq?

Then I have my choice on deadline completly, gonna try if it keeps smooth!

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Done a little search and could not find answer.

Just installed with ondemand + deadline here and I'm seeing the second core Offline most of the time (using System Tuner Pro). I guess this should be O.K., no performance problems actually... But when I go cheking "Times" it only shows one cpu column instead of one for each core, so i can't really know if second core is coming online properly (or not, due to bad install or something I mean).

Any way to check it?

Thanks!

EDIT: Btw, CM backlight changing... how does this work? :S Can't make it working just by swaping over my notification bar as I suposed it should be :S
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Thanx ;)

I just noticed little mistake in my "cp" command, I was referring to 99swap when it should have been 98swap, but I suppose you've figured that out :cool: (I've updated my post)

Let me know how this works for you.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
I didn't intend to be nit picky with my words. Although both schedulers do run stable enough, CFQ is more performance based. At least to my observations. From what I've read regarding deadline, the second core stays offline until the phone resources "demands" it. I'm more focused and devoted to saving battery so I have no problem sacrificing performance for longer usage on my sensation.

Regarding CM Status Bar watch this youtube video,CM Brighntess Mod for Sense 4.0 .
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Nice! Same here with battery ;)

Thanks fot the tip on slide btw ;) Working like a charm now!

Just up front:

I am back from a 3 day vacation I took (at the beach with my misses). Nope, I didn't abandon bricked, I have no terminal illness and my testicles are fine too. (to clear up some twitter rumors)

To make this easy I filtered all posts I am going to answer by lusers and winners to use the little time I have this evening optimally. If you want to know more about that: there is a link in my signature.

Increasing the thresholds will actually delay the phase shifting. (the cpu will be unlocked to the higher phase later)

soon. (all times measured in valve time)

That would be the way ondemand reacts, which is the exact behavior badass prevents to save your battery. So if you want to tweak badass to a level where it behaves like ondemand, sure. You can do that, but I have to ask: Why do you not use ondemand instead then?

That will kill your sdcard, rather sooner than later. Sdcards are made out of flash memory that is not meant to undergo numerous/frequent write cycles. They are meant to save stuff, over long periods of time. The I/O operations on that card could easily exceed the MTBF value of your card within 3-6months. So I hope that it isn't an expensive lexar.

Log is inconclusive. Any more information on what settings you chose?

The absolute minimum of information you should give me should be what you have set in aroma / over the zips name. (and I would rather prefer more information than that, rom, sense, etc, etc, etc...)

Because all 2D/3D scenes are frame capped to 60fps, which our chip can handle easily most of the time. There is no free benchmark that can actually test the chips power reliably with vsync enabled. (Quadrant can be easily manipulated with io schedules settings... I can modify deadline/cfq up to a point where you will get 6k total on quadrant. But that is soooo pointless...)

Log incomplete, information given incomplete. Answer? Incomplete.

ZRAM clarification:

Zram is in RAM compressed memory.

Picture it like if you boot up a live linux/windows CD (startup dos floppy disk? :)) without any hdd installed. How does that work? The live cd will grab some part of your ram and use it as a disk drive. ZRAM does the same with one major exception: It compresses this space, so that you have actually more memory available than before (because the compressed memory does now take up less space in the memory)

Advantage:

Apps stay longer in memory because they are moved into ZRAM instead of being killed. If they start again they can resume from their last state, rather than starting from scratch.

Disadvantage:

CPU usage while reading/writing to that part of the memory is increased (because the data needs to be [un]compressed) and the writing/reading to this memory is slower due to the compression. But it is still faster than killing the app and letting it start up from zero again.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I'm well aware of the fact that heavy IOs will 'wear' the card heavier.

But I've been using swap on my Transcend card on my HD2 for quite some time now, all gone fine so far. If I have to buy new card every now & then, it's fine by me ;)

As for the Lexar, must have been around 40€ or so, so it not cheap, but neither extremely expensive either :cool: (just checkedm they're 30€ now, so that acceptable for me)

And if it deteriorates, I can always repartition leaving the last gig unused and use the other 31Gb of it, and so forth :)

[HTC Sensation] iba21:
thank you for your answer.. i'd want to get a faster badass because ondemand is too powerfully..

as i can see in sense4.. only home slide animations and web loading uses cpu at 100%, other actions needs less performance..

ondemand is a governor witch increase at maximum performance even if you put a finger to the screen :D

the goal is to have the 3 level limits.. ondemand has 1.. and i tryed to create a script witch changes the values in

up thredshold 95

down differential 3

sampling rate 10000

sampling down factor 1

two fase freq @ 810mhz

with 1.566 and 192 hz

and with that.. sometimes cpu goes at 810.. but.. for the most of the time, it changes from 192 to 1566.. so.. when i do a little thing, like sliding in settings, i have that power consuption for low performance needed :D

i'm not sure i could have a better badass one.. but.. if i'd know what happen if i change that values, i could think how could i have a better one setting

in internet there aren't info about it

reguards :)
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
Just out of curiosity, is anyone getting about 2 days of battery life with this kernel? If you are please tell me what settings you have. which governor, i/o, oc 2d/3d, min/max oc/uc, and masscroff.

Back when I used GB I could get about 2 days of battery life with bricked kernel with medium usage and I would love to retain that. I know this is still in early development, but any suggestion would be great.

P.S Please post screenshot if you have it please, thanks!

Maybe a dumb question, but can be the RAM allocation changed?

Or it is not done by the kernel?

E.g. - allocate less RAM (VRAM) for the GPU (since I never play games) and allocate that to the "main" RAM.
[HTC Sensation] df1ech:
I too was wondering as I have seen my rom with moar ram eg 603 mb vs 581 but I never got a reliable answer to that.

I've always found it a bit weird that they at htc claim 768 megs of ram but in fact the available is only 580 something. If the GPU needs it, don't advertise with it then ;)

[HTC Sensation] df1ech:
Especially not at such super lowres screen's.
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
Not sure why you would want that. You need the power button to be fully functional to turn off your phone, reboot, reboot to recovery, and etc... Can also act as a backup just in case sleep2wake for some reason becomes broken.
[HTC Sensation] :
I don't want to disable button functional, I just want to disable that option when device is sleeping power button would not wake up it but when is not power button has all functionality.

Yeah and there's huge differences because of that. Adreno 225 will produce less heat and consume less power. Thats why adreno 225 is fine with 400Mhz. And i believe if u push our adreno 220 even higher than before you will melt your own finger dude :D

You need to flash an "insecure" kernel first. And by insecure, I mean a kernel that has a security line disabled in the ram disk.

As I did not make a note of the settings and don't know how to check them, these are from memory. Using Aroma, everything is at default except the following -

3d - low overclock

sweep to wake - off

z ram - on (not sure though)

i/o - bottom option (cfq I think, default in Aroma even though top option has default label)

Charge to 100% and wipe battery stats.

I am using the latest Leedroid supersensational 7.3 rom with sense and have not selected the power saving option in Leedroid tweeks.

My radio is 11.22.3504.07_M with its corrosponding RIL file.

The only battery saver I use is Y5 to automatically turn off wifi when away from home. As I do not have a data plan mobile data is always off so the only synching is done at home over wifi (stocks, weather & market - no email or facebook etc). Bluetooth is always on.

I reguarly use Daily Roads Voyager as a black box recorder when driving my van which uses video and GPS with the screen on while charging. This is a good stress test which this rom/kernal combination copes with well ie. coolest I have achieved so far. The only downside is I can only get 720p video to work as 1080p gives an error. 1080p has worked before with other combinations so I am hopeful this will be resolved in later updates.

I had a problem connecting bluetooth to my parrot hands free yesterday just before 17.00 so tried a reboot but it went to sleep and did not respond to the power button. As I thought the battery was flat I plugged in the charger and the screen lit up so I disconnected the charger. As you can see below the battery level dropped 30% in 10 mins. It has been fine since and I have done another reboot OK.

Hope this helps you but as you can see this is with very light use. Overnight it lost 4% in 12 hours.

I like this kernel a lot! but i was ondering if there are any plans to support voltage control trough setCPU. Thats the only thing i'm missing at the moment.

I know you already have some UV in place but i want to undervolt it a bit more. Even at 1240 MHz the soc can still drain the battery pretty quick when running apps.

And does anyone know the GPU voltages on 266 - 300 and 320? are they the same? or higher on each step?
