[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Whatever has changed with this latest kernel, I like it. I was never able to run the 1.78 version due to freezes after boot. Now, however, I can run 1.78, no problem. So something was fixed. Although, interestingly enough, I'm seeing better linpack and quadrant scores using the 1.56 version. Hmmm...
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Now that you mention it, I was also seeing better scores with 1.56 with ALL of fauxs kernels. I think that 1.56 has a little something more for the GPU going for it though...This was with ARHD Rom though.

BTW-Did a fresh reboot, and scores back to 4500. Poop. Maybe there is some poo running behind the scenes after startup? Shouldnt be, as cm7 is pretty bare bones.

Just A Hope

Faux will you possibly give any thought to making your Extreme Kernel Max out at 1.8360? I know my phone runs great on this clock speed. You know make the Extreme really Extreme? lol Not sure how much trouble this would be, but im hoping you take it into consideration and applie it on your futur updates. Either way you are the man, and i will stay rocking your Kernels as long as you keep pumping them out. Thanks in advance, Keep up the great work. At 1.8360 my battery and device run amazingly smooth. Cant wait to see what you drop next.:D

P.S. I know you are super bizzy, but if there is any chance you have some free time, i would still love to be taken under your wing and pick your brain. Thanks agian your loyal fan. :D
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
I would love to do a real "extreme" version, but my time is prohibiting me from doing so. I am heading to the airport soon.

My goal for the "real extreme" version is to MAX EVERYTHING!

CPU, L2, GPU 2D, 3D, System Bus, VPE, VFE, SDRAM and the rest of the kitchen sink :)

but all those will have to wait until I get back to my PC :p

Awesome stuff.
[HTC Sensation] raycaster3:
I've noticed a littkeg something that may be the reason for discrepency on the benchmarks. I've noticed that when I check the cpu levels in faux's app at random intervals and have found that the Max clock speed changes to a lower number. Ex I set it to 1.56(max) to run a benchmark for fun and noticed it was a little lower than I thought it would be and went back flash the app and noticed it had gone down to 1.18MHz. Then I was like "cool" my score was good! I've been continually checking over the last few hours and it has been jumping back down from 1.08 to 1.56 etc. I'be wiped data for the app and are what happens.

I lobe the fluidity though it's great nice and snappy.

[HTC Sensation] DonJuan692006:
If your flashing this on Alpha 5 make sure that you're going into CPU Settings under the CM Performance menu and upping your Max freq. If not your still going to be running at 1188 MHz.

EDIT:
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Yea, I am running at 1.56Ghz. I got desperate and did a nuke on the phone...Ran superwipe and wiped it clean. Then flashed alpha5+gapps+fauxs new kernel.

It started up at 6400, then went to 5000. Im at a loss here. Nothing like watching the smoke clear to see your enemy laughing. Back to alpha 1...:( There must be some kind of bug that manifests in some of our phones and not others. Ill wait till cm7 is declared done before trying again. All 4 of their updates fail miserably on my phone, and despite a full wipe? Sheesh.
[HTC Sensation] k4r1m:
Very strange for some reason after flashing this kernel the last hexadecimal value of the WiFi MAC Address got changed... I'm 100% positive, since I run a MAC filter on my router and I had to edit it to get my phone to connect.

edit moar details: double checked again and yes it was simply the last value on the address, it was decrease by 1E. It was B9 then changed to 9B

Matt
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
What app are you using to undervolt? I've never tried it (didn't have an Android before the Sensation) so I'm curious.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Try out system tuner from 3c.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Alfhea:
Im not sure. When I first flashed alpha6, I benched marked it and got 3600. Then I flashed the new kernel and got 6400. I then rebooted and let it sit for 15 mins, benched it again and got 75xx.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Ill try just leaving it alone for awhile. I flashed back to stock ROM last night, then did a superwipe before flashing to Alpha 6. Flashed the faux kernel and then went to bed. Woke up to 4000 on cf bench. After some reboots and cache wipes, I get a 6400. Run cf bench again and get a 4000. Run again, get a 4800...I swear that this is the most frustrating thing ive come across with this phone. LOL!

If I go back to Alpha 1, I get an immediate 6800 on cf bench. And it stays around that.

I dont understand.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Cool, thanks. Undervolted by 50.
[HTC Sensation] Alfhea:
Yeah, it can be fustrating at times. I would wipe everything again, flash alpha 6 and let it sit for a few mins, then flash fauxs kernel and see what you get.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
What are you using to OC? Are you letting CM7(via performance settings) control the speed and governor, or are you using an app (system tuner , ect)? My guess is that something is preventing the cores from being used correctly with my setup.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Alfhea:
Im not using anything to OC.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I think he meant which app are you using to control your CPU.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Yeap. I assume he is letting cm7 and the kernel do the controlling. This is bizarre ...For sure. If I knew how to check whether or not both cores were running, I bet I would see that they were not. Something must have broken that, so I deleted cm7-6 zip off my sd-card and re-DL from the link, moved to my phone, then reflashed. Ill leave it alone for some time before flashing faux.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Alfhea:
Sorry, yeah im letting cm7 and the kernel control it. Let me know how you make out.

This thing caused me serious issues with stability. It constantly changed cpu speeds to 300 something Mhz after a reboot. Constant reboots and all sorts of nastiness.

Whats the trick with it? How are people getting it to work?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Like all you folks I'm also having issues with the latest CM7 Alphas.

I've tried Alpha 4,5,6 and for me they all seem worse than Alpha 1 with equivalent Stock or Faux123 1.9 kernels.

The most obvious thing for me was using Linpack and trying Single & Multi threaded. On Alpha1 the Multi is faster than Single on both Kernels, as expected. However, on Alpha 4,5,6 Multi is slower than Single on both Kernels.

It looks likes something is messed up in the later Alphas, well it is for me. In the interim I've gone back to Alpha 1 with Faux123 v 1.2.
[HTC Sensation] Straightflush:
hey, never tried undervolting, what settings do you keep your voltages at?
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Not sure about benchmarks but alpha six and this kernel are smooth as butter on this phone. System is fast and responsive, compared to sense it responds instantly, and i'm very happy with it.

Sent from my Sensation using Cyanogenmod
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Cm7 is fast despite awful benchmarks for most people because cm7 is such a light thing to be running. I just cant get past the thought that I bought this phone for its horsepower and its not even at the level of a STOCK sensation right now.

Thats a deal breaker for me. There are many other phones that can do this and more when just running cm7 on it. No need for a dual core phone with the RAM it has and all just for CM7.

Im sure this is how most people feel that still care about benchmarks. I hate to say it, but I believe I will wind up back with ARHD. :( Got better battery life with it as well as smoking hot performance that was backed up by super high benchmarks.

I dont see a resolution to this SUPER underperformance ever coming as the cm7 people really dont need it for this lightweight ROM.

Oh well...

Matt

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

I havent tried UVing on cm7 as I cant even get my phone to run right at stock voltages...

Id try going down at 25mV incremements and giving the phone a day at least before going lower. If you get reboots, then you went too low.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] MontAlbert:
I use faux clock to control the voltage and the CPU.

I am getting high numbers on mine using 1.56 version without doing anything. The one below I just ran after typing the first few lines of this.. Well tbh I don't really care about numbers anyway. Cm7 blows sense out of the water imho.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
I'm a committed CM7 user since I used CM6 then CM7 on my Desire. My only point is that Multi-threading on the Sensation seems worse since Alpha1, with both stock and Faux123 kernels. This simple fact is that it will probably manifest itself in many ways. CM7 is lighter and less hungry than Sense and all the CM7 versions I've tried have run well, just that Alpha1 seems to be the best for me.

The Faux123 kernels (1.2 for CM7 Alpha1, and 1.9 for the later CM7 Alphas) perform significantly better than the stock ones.
[HTC Sensation] Kupfel:
Just ran CF for fun on alpha 6 with 0.1.9 with 1.5ghz.

Anyone else using this on tripnmiui? Just curious as to whether it breaks the camera flash. My battery is low and it isn't flashing right now and I forgot to test earlier. I'm very impressed with the speed even down at 1.1ghz. The stability is a little betterbin this version as opposed to the sense version as that veriom seems to change clock speed at random.

Hi Everyone

What CM7 ROM are you using?

The official one?
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Yup, 1.56 is working great. Thanks so much faux123! Now CM7 is performing on par with the Sense-based ROMs paired with your kernel. Hitting 80+ MFLOPS and 3200+ Quadrant scores with the 1.56 kernel. I was hitting 104+ MFLOPS on The Beast, but that was with your 1.78 kernel, so I'm guessing I'd see about the same if I could get it to run.

So im on cm7 alpha 6 and i just flashed 0.1.9 and i dont see any other governors except ondemand and performance. Is there something i missed? I plan on using smartass or any other one that could improve my battery life
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Those 2 governors are the only ones the kernel supports.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
You could use System Tunet to force both cores on, which can easily add at least 20-25% to those scores.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
To be exact, those two governors are the only ones which work correctly with dual cores. Those kernels with smart ass have the problem that smart ass will only stick to the first.

Hi, can I use Sensation Kernel 0.1.2 (1.56 GHz Sync L2)?

[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Not with any of the alphas 2-7. It is for the 2.3.3 based ROM. Use the v19 kernel with the newer Alphas. Alpha 7 and 1 have the dual cores working properly, so I would choose 7 since it is the newest and has dual core working.

Holy crap, I undervolted by -75 and I cranked up the CPU speed to 1.56 GHz to see what would happen. Continuous boot loop.

I'm sure this has been answered before but I would like to avoid sifting through all the pages in this thread to find the answer...

If I flash the 1.56 or 1.78 kernel, do I need to install a program such as Master CPU or SetCPU in order to get the max overclock enabled? Or is the kernel already set to run overclocked without the need to tweak it?
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Best option is the faux clock app, made exclusively to tweak settings on faux kernels. Link follows.

[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
I don't think fauxclock properly controls voltages. Whenever I use logcat to monitor the activity, it doesn't show any changes in the voltage tables, it always shows the same. And then when I go and up the voltage again, and then undervolt it again, the phone hard reboots without any evidence of the cause in the logcat, and when it reboots, mobile security always asks me to set up mobile security again and all of my fauxclock settings are gone. Very weird. Very very weird. Going to try to use system tuner I guess.

Using system tuner now. Watching the logcat it does seem to be actually modifying the voltages. Funny thing also, after I uninstalled fauxclock and started using system tuner, my quadrant score jumped 400 points, probably in the graphics area. The FPS on graphics test was always inconsistent and jumped all over the place, it was much higher and more consistent. Don't know if this is coincidence, but I don't think it is. Something was wacked up in that fauxclock app I think that was affecting GPU clock or I/O fractioning.
