[B][U][SIZE="4"]***** v1.5 *****[/SIZE][/U][/B]
[I]/*
* This is still compatible with Sense 3.0 & Sense 3.5. So don't ask ;)
*/[/I]

* Removed audio idle wakelocks. (should increase battery life while listening to music)
* fixed two memleaks
* New toolchain gcc 4.6 linaro
-> A newer compiler usually produces more efficient code and detects more code fails
* Fixed tons and tons and tons of code errors. snq- helped a lot.
* Improved CPU sleep states (moar savingz!)
* msm: add dimmed capacitive LEDs
* removed notification LED timer
* changed min/max panel brightness
* msm: scm: update from upstream
* msm: cpufreq: set safe default min and max speeds for boot (1536/192)
* msm: kgsl: Don't check for idle while suspended
* msm: xo: Add NULL pointer and error pointer check
* arm: vfp/nwfpe: updates
* Deleted useless cpu check.
* xz: Fix missing <linux/kernel.h> include
****Due to many requests, here you got it:****
* drivers: staging: CLEANCACHE (Backport from linux-3.1)
* drivers: staging: CLEANCACHE updated (Oct 24, 2011)
* drivers: staging: ZRAM (Backport from linux-3.1)
* drivers: staging: ZRAM swap size set to 120MB
* drivers: staging: ZRAM updated to version 0.7 (Apr 27, 2011)
* drivers: staging: ZRAM: modified to try to get as much 'free' ram as possible. **look below**
---fixed ZRAM *device conflict once again
* Bash magic for the install script to let you just install it, without any configuration. Install zip, done!
* drivers: staging: zram: prevent null pointer error
* arm: mach-msm: Updated rpcrouter to linux-3.1
---This will (hopefully) fix all rpc crashes.
---Mostly surfacing while using the camera/youtube
* drivers: kgsl: code fixups
* Revert "msm: kgsl: Delay 30ms to make sure GPU is ready during resume time"
---Tests have shown that 30ms are not enough on the pyramid.
---It should only take the GPU 10ms at max, but sometimes the GPU will hang even with 30ms.
---Increasing this to the old value (50ms) seems to solve this problem.
* built with PPP support for sync tty ports
* Makefile: Optimizing build-options for linaro-compilers & armv7
* Makefile: built with -funroll-loops instead of -funswitch-loops.
* built with O3
* arm: mach-msm: corrected assembler register fail for thumb2
* various code fixups for O3
* setup: scripts: Changed 90zram script to use busybox, this will fix auto zram start for roms with no symlinks set =/
* setup: scripts: Made 90zram script more verbose, so it will tell you if it has a problem ^^

****drivers: staging: ZRAM: modified to try to get as much 'free' ram as possible.****
This means that it will try to deposit any not used pages (background) into the ZRAM to create as much free RAM as possible.
You may have 70megs in your ZRAM after bootup. This is normal. Check your 'free' ram ;)

<<<<Camfix from 1.4 still valid.>>>>

First of all I would like to thank you for contributing in the developing for the HTC Sensation phones. Since yesterday I use your bricked kernel and I'm experiencing the benefits directly as it is quicker and my battery lasts longer.

As I am on ARHD 4.1.5. this ROM has Sense 3.5

I just flashed your bricked kernel 1.4r1 yesterday and afterwards also the camera fix for Sense 3.5

My question is if I need to reinstall the camerafix after installing your new 1.5 kernel as the camerafix itself is exactly the same as with the 1.4 kernel.
[HTC Sensation] henhoy:
Thank you, for a cool kernel...

[HTC Sensation] smint86:
Normally I'm no fan of benchmarks, but this time I wanted to use them, just to make sure that everybody with my configuration is as it should be. Finally I don't think it is. First I'll explain my setup:

1. InsertCoin 3.4.1 (no modifications to init.d or something, as it comes)

2. Bricked 1.5 (flashed via recovery, extra wiped dalvik and fixed permissions, because I had some FC before)

3. No OC apps, no system monitor apps, only modification I made is an init.post_boot.sh with -75000 undervolt inside

3. Booted up

4. Phone was extremely laggy directly after bootup and I got an instant FC from Skype

5. UI feels not so smooth.. But hey, maybe it needs some time

6. After some time of usage I decided to run the benchmarks, just to make sure

7. 3 times antutu, 3 times cf-bench, see following images:

what gives an average of 5443 for antutu

what gives an average of 11022/3516/6518 for cf-bench

8. Just to be 100% sure that something is wrong I rebooted to recovery, wiped cache/dalvik, booted up, let the device settle up for approx. 2 minutes, rebooted again (fastboot enabled), disabled all services, closed all backround apps and ran 1 time antutu and 1 time cf-bench again:

antutu gave 5460

cf-bench gave 11916/2976(!)/6552

At Bricked default configuration (1536/192 ondemand, as-it-comes) without any system/oc apps/tweaks at all, those benchs should be higher, shouldn't they? I doubt it's a pure kernel problem, because it seems like I'm the only one with those problems, but I really don't know what to do next. Is it possible that the problem is about some of those scripts inside init.d folder? But I didn't place one of them, all came with InsertCoin.

Noobish question :

using IC 3.4.1. and 1.4r1 bricked atm. I want to flash new bricked kernel. I know i have to wipe dalvik and cache... but will it affect my battery calibration i have done 1 week ago ? Should i calibrate it again ?

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] sniperde:
No, you don't need to perform any calibration.
[HTC Sensation] Smintz:
hi,

iam using

ROM: Pyramid3D v8.2.1 XE

Kernel: Bricked 1.4 (came with ROM)

Radio: Sensation_1.73.401.2_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.90 35.02_2

i didnt change anything.

1) how is the battery drainage of bricked 1.5 compared to 1.4?

2) can i flash it with the Rom Pyramid3D v8.2.1 XE without any problems?

3) iam a noob in flashing (i flashed 2 roms in the last 4days and thats all my experience...) do i need to wipe anything before flashing bricked 1.5?

thanks for help

i love xda!
[HTC Sensation] sniperde:
I have exactly the same scores you just posted using latest IC and bricked.

My Sensation is very smooth and fast.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that all those benchmarking tools have problems with the asynchronous CPU of our Sensation.

At leats that was something that I picked up in several theads about processing power.

I am also wondering about the GPU performance as I believed the Sensations GPU is way more powerful than the Galaxy S2 one. Maybe it is just because we have a higher resolution.

Nevertheless benchmarks are just synthetic and don't show how the system is performing in everyday use.

Different resolutions and ROMs (we have Sense running, which might also cost a lot of performance) cannot be compared....

[HTC Sensation] artymarty:
Showp, can you please explain something for me.

I am not sure about the zram, and if it is working on my phone.

I understand zram is a swap disk, compressed so it frees up ram and speeds things up.

I have installed the latest kernel 1.5, and when I go to the

adb shell and type:

cat /sys/kernel/mm/cleancache/*

I get:

C:\temp>adb shell cat /sys/kernel/mm/cleancache/*

and then I type:

cat /sys/block/zram0/*

... so I don't think its working...

I will try another reboot and a fix permissions...

any other ideas?
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
dalvik has nothing to do with the kernel - so you DON'T need to wipe it! wiping cache will also be done by the flashable zip itself, just have a look at the output text while flashing. concerning battery, i don't think you have to calibrate it again.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
@show-p1984

I really would want to try the New 1.5 version. 1.4r1 had battery drain issues with me and the New 1.5 features look promising...

I want you to please make a Return to Stock kernel patch incase I get issues I have option to revert to original state.

At this time I am on Stock Rooted 2.3.5 Sense 3.5 by EddyOS and I am really desperate to try ur Kernel but only thing is how to get back if I still had issues?
[HTC Sensation] inffy:
I think that it's not show-p:s responsibility to do that patch. You can get the stock kernel back if you just flash the rom again if you want to return to stock kernel.

Just flash the roms .zip if you want to get back to stock kernel
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
I know that already but then I have to flash back all my mods like camera mods, battery mods, themes and all the bloatware that I removed comes back.. so i have to spend another 1 hour to get back to stock.

wont it be easy if he just makes a Return to Stock kernel patch that would take not more than 2 mins to retun and saves all of us a lot of time...?
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
wrong thread. you should ask your rom developer about this patch. how should anybody else (e.g. kernel dev) know, what the stock kernel of your rom is? there are many different stock kernels availible (2.3.4, 2.3.5, different versions and so on), so the right place to ask about that would be your roms thread!
[HTC Sensation] sjappie:
All Bricked kernels are using very much battery with Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.4 XE!
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Return to stock patch is in the amaze camera mod thread, here's the link:

http://dev-host.org/w31vyxp6tc98/Sense_3.5_Stock_kernel_2.3.5.zip

Didn't take long to find so perhaps search next time

The other option is to do a nandroid before flashing the new kernel. Then if it's an issue, you can revert back to that ;)
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
thanks for this very useful post. bring on more...
[HTC Sensation] sjappie:
Gheheheheh
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Wouldn't it just be easier if you did what everyone else does and did a Nandroid backup first from Recovery?
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Dude... u need a change in ur attitude and No flaming posts.... read those in Rules Thread...

Thanks EddyOS, .. I searched but really couldnt find it.. who would know a Stock kernel in Camera thread :D...

Nandroid backup takes too much space and time again... and it washes all ur latest contacts, messages, apps and changes that u made after the backup...

This Patch will wash all modifications by show-p and return me to stock camera ? or just return to stock kernel? i m using ur latest v4 ROM..
[HTC Sensation] Heppieboeddah:
Fully agree on that.

Its not really a patch. Its reverting to the stock-kernel. And yes youre camera will be fine again after returning to stock-kernel. Its possible that you have to clean cache from /settings/applications/camera.

It works for me..;)

Question for OP,

Is real 2 way callrecording working with this 1.5 version?
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
ok, maybe i need to go offtopic now. i don't think that i have to change my attitude (ok sorry for the picture, maybe it was to rude, i'm stressed right now), but many people posting silly questions in a development thread should change their thinking.

at least this thread is for development and a custom kernel, not for question/answer. there is a special forum for question/answer where you can post those questions. you will never see me in that forums posting such answers like i do here. it's just getting heavily on my nerves to read massive offtopic here in this thread.. even if it's not mine. imagine how it must be for the op!

end of offtopic, won't say anymore affecting this. just use search before you post and when you have nothing useful to say leave it at all!
[HTC Sensation] Heppieboeddah:
It wasn't a question. It was an observation. And besides that. If you are getting frustrated or nervouse?! Why do we have to know that. It doesn't interrest me in what state of mind you are. There are shrinks for youre problems.
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
You can.t trully say that a kernel drains the battery unless you let it settle for at least 1-2 days ( wiping battery stats and do a full cycle, atleast from 100 to 10% and full charge after that ). Plus, OC and forcing both CPUs online will surely drain it faster.

Running 1.5 kernel with ARHD 3.6.4 without any issues so far.
[HTC Sensation] artymarty:
Or you could do a nandroid backup, try out the kernel and if you don't like it, restore your backup?....

- - - - - - - -

UPDATE : ok after further reading, I see this has been suggested.

Realy, you should take a bit more responsibility mate. Sure the backup will overwrite changes made since, when you restore it, but you can also back up contacts, restore nandroid, and restore contacts..

I would trust this much more than a return to stock script - you said you have put a lot of patches etc on your phone - how do you know your kernel related files are still true stock??

Assumptions like this are a good part of the reason why if 30 people install a rom

10 or so have some weird issues

[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
i remember reading some people were having problems with their phones shutting off at like 3-5% instead of fully discharging. I used search but couldn't locate the posts about this... can anyone shed some light on why this is happening for me? thanks
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
Can you start your phone after it shuts down? ( if it doeasn.t start than the battery is dead and the readings are wrong, should be fixed by a battery calibration)
[HTC Sensation] TwelveSided:
Works wonderfully with ARHD 3.6.4 no issues whatsoever.
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
Ya i woke up this morning and was late for work because my alarm never went off. Went to bed with 15% battery left. Phone turned off around 5% and I was able to turn it on this morning still. I tested a few times and it seems its just shutting off around 3-5%
[HTC Sensation] Laynee1:
Some one in this thread told me that i dont have to recalibrate battery if i allready did before flash, when flashing this new kernel ?
[HTC Sensation] guyd:
Problem is gone

*UPDATE*

I upgraded to Bricked v1.5 Release, and the problem is gone!

What a weird problem to have only on my phone apparently.

But I am very happy to be using show's latest masterpiece without issue ;)

[HTC Sensation] Twister988:
Anyone got Freezes when OC´ing to 1,78 and running CF-Bench?

Is the Freeze a CPU-Protection, or can it result in damaging the CPU?

Using IC 2.2.5 SSE and Bricked 0.5
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Not all chips are created equal, therefore it may be that you CPU requires more Voltage to run stable with this clock (use System Tuner to increase it), or that you CPU can't run at this clock at all.

The common Freeze will most likely not damage your CPU. (I set safe voltages for the overclocking)

If you overclock too high, or raise the voltage too high, this may result in a meltdown. Just a warning here. I am not responsible.
[HTC Sensation] Twister988:
Thanks for the Info.

I thought about exactly that...

Anyway: in System Tuner, the Voltage Setting is marked as "not available"... :confused:
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Sorry, my fault. That is not yet included in 0.5

Just use 0.55 it seems to be stable, because no one complained :D
[HTC Sensation] mwie:
Hey show-p,

re: the USB thingie on Baad's thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17545453&postcount=6105:

my mistake: USB in my car is working with Bricked 0.4. :rolleyes:

Plug-in and there it goes...

With 0.5 it seems like car is getting access but can't read anything...

When I unplug it's shortly showing "reading contents" and then it can't do any further reading obviously... :-)

What's changed between 0.4 and 0.5 on the USB part?

Blaming HTC here, not you anyway! :-)

I'll test 0.55 - but as I think you didn't do anything on the USB I fear it will not work either...

Anyway - beer to come!! :D

- mwie -
[HTC Sensation] Twister988:
Thanks for that...

Well, @ 1,54 GHz it is stable..

Any other "Pro´s" to flash to 0.55 instead of activated voltage control?

Any performance-improvements?

And about voltage control: When (in mV) it gets dangerous for the CPU?
[HTC Sensation] nicob:
Hi show-p1984,

Could you please tell me how adding "Handle problems with rebooting on the Latitude E5420/E6420" would benefit the sensation? I was really puzzled by that when i found it in the diffs...

0.55 runs great by the way...

Also, what is the current problem with the smartass2 governor, that you don't recommend it? Or isn't it superior to ondemand?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
That is very much appreciated!

From .4 to .5 I updated the usb driver.

from .5 to .55 there were no changes to usb. Is it possible to get a kmsg & logcat @ issuetracker? So that I can have a look at this?

(would be best to get them from both, .4 and .5(5))

Kernel is capped @ 1,35 Volt. (1350mV)

This is not even used by the current frequencies. Highest used is 1325mV @ 1782Mhz.

This should be "safe". but again, not all chips are created equal. My guess is as good as yours ;)

It's in the bump to 2.6.35.14 isn't it? That's only the complete kernel push. That isn't even used in our kernel. (I push every change to avoid getting patch rejects when bumping again)

BTW, there are some changes not yet present on gcode. I dev too fast for that :D
[HTC Sensation] mwie:
Need to read the ksmg & logcat intro to know how to use it - once done, I'll provide the requested!

Gimme time till the weekend :)

Already spent to much work time on flashing... %-(

sent from XDA App on HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
i know it's a little bit offtopic... please don't blame me, i just want to know for sure (and i know a lot of experts are reading here...)

so for me it's like that: i was on software 1.35.162.1 (received via ota, vodafone branding, s-on), then i ran revolutionary, flashed recovery. from this point i started wiping everything and started with flashing roms. what i also did was flashing 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 radio and 2.2.0169HMQ ril. that's how the phone is running currently (with ic 2.2.5 sse).

if i understood the postings above in the correct way, my phone does not have all current firmware files because i never flashed 1.45.401.2 official release?

what should i do now? i saw that there is also RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.72.401.1_Radio_10.58.9 035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_214840_signed in the shipped rom thread, which is the most up2date one i think.

what i thought is:

1. make a nandroid backup

2. running RUU.exe (but which one? 1.45.401.2 or 1.72.401.1 or first the one and then the other one)

3. then revolutionary again

4. flash recovery

5. restore my nandroid

is it correct so far?
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Indeed. Easiest way to get missing img files.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I'd only use the 1.45.401.2 RUU for now - the 1.72.401.1 isn't technically for our devices so I'd never recommend someone flash it outright
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
but which one? should i directly run RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.72.401.1_Radio_10.58.9 035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_214840_signed or is it not recommended for standard htc sensation? i'm a little bit confused... :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

ok.. this answers my question! i will start right now :)
[HTC Sensation] Twister988:
OK, just discovered after doing a benchmark:

1,78 GHz doesnt work - even not with 1,35v - just hangs, goodbye.

1,72 GHz is working - but the performance is worse than 1,54 GHz.

What to do there? Increase voltage? Decrease Voltage?

@show-p1984: How do you test the voltages? And how do you see, what is stable, and what is not?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
#1 Set clock, run 5 times cf-bench, if it runs stable, it's stable for now. (I actually run a stress test for 5 minutes on each frequency)

#2 If it is not, increase voltage. Test again.

#3 If it is not stable start #1.

Maybe it's just the limit for your cpu :(

(mine runs @ 1917 fine ;) 1944 lets it crash)
[HTC Sensation] Twister988:
Thx so far.

You said, the kernel "quits" at 1,35V. What does it mean? Higher voltages will be ignored? Or does it end in a "kernel-panic"?
[HTC Sensation] hlenforcer:
I RUU´ed my standard Sensation with 1.72, after i set supercid there wasn´t any problem! (originally its a t-mobile germany branded device) We should check if the new RUU also provides a new rpm partition, which included the new hw specific things in 1.45 RUU, that was the reason i made the RUU, to be fully up to date!
[HTC Sensation] Catpoule:
hi show,

well i'm in trouble with 1.5. So i'm begging help, @show, @ziggyboy, @dreagelone and all of you and gods who can read this .... ^^

so i wiped cache and dalvick as usual and i flashed 1.5 kernel in the recovery But i got a lot of lags in the beginning, i had to rebbot 2 times to see if it's was better .... even after it's not really smooth all the time, sometime it's okay and then it becomes laggy ... :cool:

i wanted to see the miracle but i saw the nightmare began lolololol :D

don't want nightmare ,i want to see miracle too !!:D

Is there something to do to make it work great ? should i remove undervolt script ? is there something i'm not doing right ?

i'm on insertcoin 3.4.1 and i don't really undertand why it is not working properly with me ? any idea guys ?:confused:

sorry my mistake, i meant 1.5
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Which app you use for over/downclocking? It happend for me that for example CPU Master got stuck at minimmun freq, also SETCPU caused random crashes and lags...if its not some clocking app than i dont know..
