When I'm not using my phone a lot I can easily get over a day and a half with my Anker 1900. With moderate use I'll get around 17-19. I'm usually connected to wifi (at home or at work (I don't have a social life! =D)) so I'm sure that's a huge help.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
For those you who have issues with my 020 JRCU edition,

here's a FastNoHz Edition... please try and give feedback here on my thread...

http://www.multiupload.com/1JCWT8T2IU

Thanks!

Maybe CM7 and JRCU don't like each other :(
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
The original version is actually working fine now after rebooting the phone. But if it gives me any problems, I'll try the other version. Thanks for the quick response.
[HTC Sensation] adclem:
Just flashed the new kernel and no problems at all, so far.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Wonder if certain phones don't like JRCU or FastNoHz?

I remember having tons of NoHz issues with the Sense kernels and none with JRCU.

Is this even possible that some CPUs wouldn't like one or the other?
[HTC Sensation] immunityx:
Fastnohz unstable

Jrcu stable
[HTC Sensation] drewtang:
I'm running the j version with no issues whatsoever...
[HTC Sensation] jonathanhuerta4:
+1 me too, running fine with not one reboot problem :D
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Working great for me now, though I've been using your 1.78 GHz kernels, so it's not a proper comparison. Any chance we can get a 1.78 GHz FastNoHz kernel? Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] d.brown:
+ 1 and I got 105 on linpack!!! Look at the cf bench you guys like so much...All this @ 1.567 mhz Ondemand -100mv uv. The best thing is I can really feel those scores... Just amazingly fast and smooth! Thx faux

Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict who've been sober for too long!!!
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Ok.. here's FastNoHz @ 1.78

http://www.multiupload.com/NBKP1G7093

have fun!
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Had some reservations about flashing new version due to reports of boot loops but did it anyway and its smooth as ever. Thanks faux.

Sent from my Sensation using Cyanogenmod
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Not that it really matters, but the reports have been of reboots, not bootloops.
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Working beautifully so far. No reboots. The J version would've rebooted several times by now.
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
I can also say that, with the new 1.78 FastNoHz kernel, my phone no longer overheats and battery life is much better.
[HTC Sensation] ahoslc:
So

What's the difference between the JRCU and Fastnohz kerneal ?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Thanks for the feedback. FastNoHz is now an official download option in the OP.

See OP for explanation ;)
[HTC Sensation] ahoslc:
So

So would you say there is much of a peformance difference between the 2?
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
I agree, before I flash which one are people finding the fastest?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Variety is the spice of life ;) they are different, why not give both a try and select the one you most suit you.
[HTC Sensation] ChiefzReloaded:
Speaking of variety.... Where's the governor's? All I have is ondemand and performance no matter what app I use to set freqs.... imustbedoingitwrong? o_O Lemme know
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Those are what have been found to work best. Use on demand for bettery battery and use performance for showing off your benchmark scores. ;)

BTW-Is it best to use an app to OC or to just let the ROM (or kernel?) do the OCing?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Thanks! Going to test this kernel out :)
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Performance settings in cm parts works just fine. Faux clock is also good if you want seperate wake and screen off clocks, but I think the voltage settings are kinda messed up on that app at the moment. Romanbb is a skilled dev though so I'm sure he will iron out the kinks at some stage, he seems to be quite busy with his bulletproff rom as well.

Personally I just started using system tuner. It costs a couple of dollars but its well worth it. Can control the clocks, voltage table, and do a few other tweaks as well.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Hmmm...I got the free version of System Tuner and found that it allowed cpu tweaks as is, but get the feeling that it isnt working just right. Maybe the paid app is where its at?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I have the free version, but I'm considering buying the paid version to support the developer. It's a nifty little application.
[HTC Sensation] Sammydr10:
This kernel is great but it has trouble keeping Wifi connected while screen is off :/
[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
Any suggestions on which kernel for balance with battery and performance?
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Change the settings in wifi menu. It defaults to off when screen is off.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Jrcu 1.56ghz here, underclocked to 1.08 ghz for better battery life, and undervolted by 75mv across the board. ROM is still silky smooth at the lower frequency and the battery has just refused to die today.

[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Does Fauxclock and built-in CM7 CPU controller conflict with each other?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Clocked at 1.18 GHz:

Kernel is teh awesomesauce.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Alright, details please...I am getting 2900 with 1.56Ghz. This must mean my phone is a POS. I have to OC to get the same results as everyone else?

I barely have ANYTHING on my phone! A handful of apps at most...CM7 version 7 with the newest faux kernel clocked at 1.56Ghz On demand. What the Eff gives? Ive tried reboots and cache clearing. Tried reflashing CM7...Is it possible my phone is a dud?

The quality control is awful with these things...

Matt
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Haven't really done anything fancy. When I did the benchmark, I had it set to performance through System Tuner but you can do that in CM settings too. I've undervolted, but that doesn't affect performance.

I will say this. I ran a Quadrant right after flashing the new kernel, and I was getting about 2600 max at 1.18 GHz. After letting it sit until now, that's the type of results I'm getting.
[HTC Sensation] jiggaman508:
Flashed nohz 1.5ghz about an hour ago, and wow, I can feel the difference. Phone is super smooth now....thanks faux, your work never ceases to amaze me ;)
[HTC Sensation] wikie:
good morning,

I wanted to ask you what time version of the kernel goes for the faux CM7 SelfKang Alphafied?

I would like the faux flash only kernel I want the version for CM7 roms and not for sense, and yes my english is not sooo:o good, because I prefer to ask again.

thank you:D
[HTC Sensation] BumAround:
What ROM, mate?

@faux123,

which particular kernel of yours that you recommend for TripNMIUI S009B (1.9.30)?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Either version should work with CM7. Some people said the JRCU is better, other said FastNoHz is better, so I don't know. Flash both and see which one is better for yourself.

I have never installed MIUI on my phones, so I cannot recommend which version is better, try both and see for yourself.
[HTC Sensation] wikie:
ok thank you faux123, I'll do this immediately.:D
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
faux in the future will you be allowing a slider to be set manually? ie not specified clock speeds?
[HTC Sensation] BumAround:
How's Bricked kernel with the TripNMIUI? Playing well together? How's the battery, mate? :)
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Had better results with JRCU on Sense, but CM7 seems to prefer the NoHz RCU.

Maybe Joe still needs some tweaking?
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
I'm getting stuck in a boot loop with NoHz, any advice to sort that out? I've wiped both cache and dalvik cache.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
This is so weird. I don't understand why RCU difference would result in such wild situations.

Some of you can run stable with JRCU but boot loops with NoHz while others can run NoHz but boot loops with JRCU :confused::confused::confused:

Can you guys post more info about your phone?

ie, TMOUS or other carriers, radio baseband, CM Alpha version etc...
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
I had issues with NoHz on Sense builds, but not AOSP. TMOUS Sensation 4G.

Alpha 7, 10.56 baseband. I can run JRCU and NoHz, but better performance on NoHz.
[HTC Sensation] Fast-Droid:
Been runninng CM7 for a couple weeks now on my T-Mo Pyramid with no major issues. Just flashed (Fast NoHz 1.58 Kernel) a couple days ago and my phone is rediculous!! The only issue i have is static from the headset after i hang up a call if im listening to any audio prior to the call.Didnt have this issue before flashing the Kernel :confused: No big deal my phone is still amazing.Already dreaming of an ICS Cyanogen muahahahaha..
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
can feel the snappyness, NoFx btw.. which undervolatage app do u guys prefer btw?

thanks for the improvements ;) new flash and this rom = defenitely sexy
[HTC Sensation] Alfhea:
I've flashed both JRCU and fastNoHz and Im getting better results with fastNoHz.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
I've flashed the JCU version on my CM7.

UC at 1Ghz

UV at -75mv

Screen off : 192-384Mhz

All is SMOOTH and no probleme

I hope that with JCU and this settings i will have the best battery life ever 8)
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
do u use an application for undervoltage? i know there are some availible, but some people are experiencing strange behaviour,, which one to take?
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Use this one : http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?5315-APP-0.7.2-BETA-Snapdragon-Dual-Core-OC-Control

It's made especially for the Faux kernel on Sensation : )
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
The following settings are for those who prefer battery over performance :D

I have tested the settings shown in the screen shot. It has good interactive performance and excellent battery life. The phone does NOT even get warm when playing 3D games with these settings.

Have fun ;)
[HTC Sensation] pablo1215:
Thank you Faux I dont personally use this exact set up but I appreciate you posting it.

[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
Which kernel?
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
I would also like to know which kernel would give better battery life theoretically if I don't use my phone for anything important but browsing/phone calls
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Normally, JCU must be the one to choose for better battery life.
[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
I tried to download and install latest faux clock and does nothing but fc on me barely recognizes it as an apk have to use file explorer to install it ...tried three times...can anyone upload. Here latest version?
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
ehm, missread that and nm it poster above me
[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
Thanks ....did not know that lol
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
Wasn't aware that faux clock came in a zip package. As far as I know it came as an apk. Just install like normal apps. That's how I installed faux clock.
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
damn, youve got me there i dindt read faux clock, thought he was installing the kernel

quite strange why the apk does not install, did you take last version? mine did install normally

excuse me for the missreading
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
You guys ought to try out System Tuner by 3c. The PAID version! I bought it 2 days ago and have seen great improvement with the v20 kernel (the FAST version).

The other version, BTW, produced LOW java scores....

I saw a 3200 on quadrant at 1.18Ghz using system tuner with its force both cores on + performance governor!

With On demand governor (both cores NOT forced), 37mV UV, and 1.18Ghz I am now getting a 20 hour lifetime on the stock HTC battery!

[HTC Sensation] die_braut:
How can I see if my device is really Undervolted?

I use FauxClock 0.75 and have set -75 mV, but can I check if it actually really works?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
The way I got confirmation is when I undervolted too much and the phone kept restarting.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Yeah if you use adb logcat while connected to your PC, you can see the voltage changes being logged in there when you adjust them.

What's weird is I can't see the voltage change when using faux clock but I can see it change using system tuner. So I'm not convinced faux clock is setting voltages correctly.

Sent from my Sensation using Cyanogenmod
[HTC Sensation] die_braut:
Thanks, but who do I set the UV with SystemTuner? I just see the frequency-bar....
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Tweaks > CPU > should half a voltage tab on the top
[HTC Sensation] DonJuan692006:
You can type "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels" in either terminal or via adb shell and see what the voltage readings are.
[HTC Sensation] ahoslc:
Update

Is this going to get the update your other kernel just got?
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Theres your answer ;)
[HTC Sensation] raycaster3:
You can also check vdd levels manually /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table then long press the vdd_levels file. I just do it this way cuz it's faster
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Hey faux, just wondering...is it possible for any of these kernels to change the file system over to EXT4?
[HTC Sensation] route00:
Can I use this kernel on miui 1.9.30.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Answer for yourself by trying it. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] BumAround:
@faux123,

is it a kernel or a ROM (MIUI) that's responsible of phone getting warm even only for slight, brief use?

why ur kernel cannot fall into (deep) sleep state to conserve battery? is it intended to be like that? well, I use system tuner pro to detect it and there's no sleep state even with screen off & airplane mode. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] farfromovin:
I use it with the MiUI.us official ROM and it's great! Super fast, well the 1.78GHz version is at least. I'm sure the 1.56 ain't too shabby either. Really a good combo if you ask me. Faux's kernels just wake up ROMs!
[HTC Sensation] BumAround:
Please report back how the battery (performance) goes after like 2-3 days of usage.
[HTC Sensation] crx4xharder:
Wow... Ive been on 1.9 forever with selfkang 7 and finally flashed 2.0 (1.56 nohz) and I must say. Unbelievably fast! I'm not one to post bs clutter to threads but this kernel is the fastest I've seen on any device at any frequency. I just may have to donate for this one faux... Phenomenal job!
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Kernel works with Alpha 8.
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Thanks for the info ;)

Was just about to try it
[HTC Sensation] wikie:
hello,

I have a problem, I have the rom CM7 SelfKang Alphafied Number 8 and did the faux kernel and unfortunately is not my wifi.

Do you have an IDDE or a tip for me how can I get the wifi to run against?

thank you
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
Kernel Faux123 v0.20

I updated to CM7 SelfKang Alphafied Number 8 and flashed faux v0.2 over it. I had a black screen and a few reboots ... not so good ...

Flash the original kernel back ... it's ok again.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Need some logs, posts like this does not help me or anyone else to track down your issues in particular or in general.
[HTC Sensation] wikie:
Sun problem solved, I re-entered the WLAN settings and now everything fits resist.

Really great thanks to the kernel developers.
[HTC Sensation] GizmoTheGreen:
for those having issues with this kernel on cm7 seflkang alpha 8, did you clear cache and dalvik??

I've flashed alpha8 on top of alpha7, cleared cache+dalvik and then flashed faux kernel 0.2.0 and I haven't had a single issue so far. runs smooth and fast!

edit: for faux, could you please have a look at this thread I made http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1300088, I hope it's possible and you know how
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
Hey Faux, I'm curious why I'm getting really poor FPS in Glbench Egypt and pro tests even at standard graphics? I'm at 1.67GHz and the iPhone 4s has hugely higher FPS at 800MHz. Is this because of poor driver support for the adreno 220 or what?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Could be Rom related. My kernels have all sorts of power saving patches applied to them, matter of fact, I fixed many kernel errors which prevented the kernel from entering suspend mode ( check my change logs for complete detail )
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
To be clear: what log files do you need ?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
/proc/last_kmsg if you experienced reboots

or dmesg in general if you think I have issues with my kernel

dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt

and post either file to pastebin.com and give links here
[HTC Sensation] soggyflakes:
I just flashed the kernal and I was wondering if its normal for the screen to go blank and back to the htc logo a few times? its been doing it for about 5 min now and im getting kinda worried? if that isnt normal what can i do?
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
No... not normal. Did you wipe dalvik cache??? What version of the kernel are you trying to flash 1.78 or 1.56
[HTC Sensation] soggyflakes:
yes i wiped it and 1.56
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Hmm. Maybe a bad download. Have you tried redownloading and then flashing
[HTC Sensation] soggyflakes:
gonna try right now, hopefully it works
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Joes rcu or fast nohz
[HTC Sensation] soggyflakes:
joes rcu,

well i pulled battery and rebooted into bootloader and i cant get into recovery now, its telling me no img and it wants to update radio but i cant get into recover now, just goes straight to updating radio
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Take sd card out and try to get into recovery that way or take any pg58Img zips off of the sd. If you get into recovery flash a recovery and try flashing kernel then
[HTC Sensation] soggyflakes:
lol i finally stopped panicking and thought about that, restored and up and running again. I'll try again soon to flash it but gotta hit the road. thanks for the help tho, really appreciate it. love this forum and all the people and help.
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Hey no problem man, thats what the community is here for. Hopefully the kernel works out when you get around to flashing it.. good luck
[HTC Sensation] sir*mez:
Try fast NoHz. Your phone may not like Joes rcu.
[HTC Sensation] heyjoe66:
hi

i'm playing with undervolting on this great kernel and realized that i can't go lower 812500 mV.

how is the lowest voltage limited to 812500, by the kernel, i'm guessing?

is there a way to go lower than 812500?
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
That's the limit I put in my kernel. I will be updating the CPU freq table again in the next release :D (No ETA however :p )
[HTC Sensation] heyjoe66:
still would be nice
[HTC Sensation] GizmoTheGreen:
I'm hoping for higher frequencies :D
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
LOL, so you want lower voltages and higher clock frequencies.... :cool: hm...
[HTC Sensation] GizmoTheGreen:
I'm fine with "normal" voltages on oc'ing ; D

I wanna see how high I can go!

edit: btw, if you try the glbenchmark app, on egypt normal, the 3d is really weird! it's fine on high though

soft reboot on offscreen
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
So I just found out apparently my kernel has issues with BT? Can someone post a detail description of the issues and provide me with some dmesg logs when encountering these BT issues?

I can't fix problems when NO One reported them to me or on my thread :eek:
[HTC Sensation] gjnicholson:
Apologies for not reporting on your thread. How do I get a log for you to check?

It is a common problem on AOSP roms, either BT phone calls work, or BT media. Only CM7 Alpha 7 and 8 am I able to have both BT phone calls and BT media working.

Kind regards, Gary

Hi,

3 day's ago I had problems with faux kernel ... flashed CM7 stock kernel over it ... but wanted something else. Drove by tiamat kernel - bad trip - and ended up here again :o

I will report problems with this kernel here and provide the logs that are needed to debug this kernel.
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
I've had zero problems with this kernel and my Bluetooth speakerphone...
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Faux, will you update your AOSP kernel line with the ZRAM optimizations found in your Sense kernel branch?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] the-Mike_D:
The ps3 sixaxis controller works beautifully over bluetooth even using your kernel. Never had so much fun with a mobile emulator until now. I couldn't tell you about voicecalls over bt though. But every bit of info helps I suppose.
[HTC Sensation] sergeybrin:
Wtf I flashed this today and with very light use I was at 69% battery within 2 hours! Was using default settings with ondemand. Going back to Tiamat.
[HTC Sensation] cbutters:
Although I haven't tried a lot of different kernels, yours is the only one I have used that actually is sending bluetooth music information to my car when I am paired with it and playing music. The problem I have though is it only shows artist and track information for the first song, once the song is over and it goes to the next song, it never re-updates the artist and track information, so I could play 30 songs, and it always just says the name of the first song... Also, on my car it says the track number and how many seconds into the song it is, This kernel shows the track number of the first song, and doesn't keep track of the seconds, just says 00 all the time. This is on a Mazdaspeed3, I'm told it uses AVRCP to show the song information over bluetooth.

If I can help you in any way to test or anything, let me know and I would be happy to help.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Sounded like you have a rogue app running all the time draining battery. Use systempanel or watchdog app from market to track down the run away app that's causing the battery drain.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Some of the new tech will make their way here at a later time.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Very cryptic, but thanks! :D
[HTC Sensation] Xlythe:
I dont know if this is a kernel issue or something wrong with the ROMs/Recovery, but...

Pressing the power button triggers onKeyDown(KEYCODE_POWER, event)

Releasing the power button triggers onKeyUp(KEYCODE_POWER, event) and then immediately after onKeyDown(KEYCODE_POWER, event) onKeyUp(KEYCODE_POWER, event)

So it causes double presses in everything. You can long-press the power button fine, but as soon as you release it it turns off the screen. If you press the power button normally, it turns off and then back on the screen. If you hold the power button in recovery, it'll select the first item. If you let go, it'll select the next item.

This happens in Cyanogen's and MIUI.us's ROMs even on stock kernels, so it's nothing specific to your kernels (if its even a kernel bug) but you seem active so I was hoping you could look into it.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Try any of the following:

1-Clear cache and Dalvik

2-Reflash the ROM

3-Reflash the Kernel

4-Reboot the phone

Mine had done this a little and stopped sometime ago after doing the above for various reasons.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Xlythe:
Others are mentioning it in the MIUI.us thread too. I've wiped, rebooted, and reflashed to no avail and it spans both the MIUI and Cyanogen builds. Still, thanks for the advice. [:
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
it's a bug in the ROM... nothing we can do about it on the kernel side. MIUI or CM7 needs to fix it.
[HTC Sensation] Xlythe:
Alright, thanks. [: Wasn't sure.

@faux123

Hey faux i was wondering if this was normal?(screenie)

I ask because my battery is draining crazy fast, and my phone is heating up veru fast.

I saw you suggested using watchdog to another xda member to see if any apps were eating up the cpu, so i did the same.

By the way, i love your roms and kernels, ive been a fan since i had my MT4G, and i was ecstatic when i saw that you working in the Sensation forums.

I appreciate any help, and thank you for your contributions to XDA.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
It seemed something is preventing it to go into sleep/suspend mode. Hm... interesting.. I will look more into it. give me a dmesg log if you could and post it to pastebin.com
[HTC Sensation] SuperSwaggtastic:
I just PM'd you the pastebin
