CPU max frequency.

This is not really a problem, more along the lines of an observation.

My setup for Bricked 1.31, max: 1728, min 192, scroff 486, 3d and 2d low overclock , zram on, interactive governor (badass seemed a little laggy for me).

In CM9 settings I have max frequency set at 1620.

CPU 0 uses 1620 as it's max, from what I've seen in System Tuner.

CPU 1 uses 1728, verified in CPU Spy.

Easy enough to fix, as I'll just rename the file and reflash the kernel...

I guess the moral of the story is to not use Rom or app bases apps to adjust the clocking.

Would the same apply to changing governors? In other words, should the governor only be changed during installation?

Great kernel BTW. Thanks Show-p1984!

Idea: put "NOT FOR SENSE ROMs" in huge font in the OP. Getting tired of seeing the "Will this work with xxxxx ROM?" questions.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Usually you will not need to do the whole flashing procedure to change stuff (though it is recommended).

The reason why your CPU1 is not getting the new settings (gov/freq) is a hack in the source (my hack, so I guess my fault :p).

Background:

For some reason some AOSP roms are pulling up cpu1 every few seconds, my hunch: the settings app is borked and everytime it polls for the cpu, it will be hotplugged. This causes several problems since the introduction of mpdecision into the kernel.

Basically mpdecision would now disable cpu1 if not needed, the os would enable it again, mpdecision would detect that and disable it again after a 10 seconds pause. Then it would all start over again.

So currently some AOSP ROMs are 100% dualcore all the time (even with screen off) which is just nuts if you look at the energy consumption caused by this.

What I did is simple: Everything that wants to enable cpu1 needs to go through sysfs, the kernels interface with the operating system. So I just disables that option.

If you (or anything else) now write(s) a 1 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online the kernel will just ignore that. This fixes the constant hotplugging of cpu1 but has a somewhat nasty side-effect: OC apps need to enable cpu1 so they can set the freq/gov to it too. This won't be possible anymore, so the only cpu that gets the settings set is cpu0 (because it is always online).

This hack is only in the AOSP kernel, the Sense kernel works wonderfully, since there is no hotplugging of cpu1 every 5 seconds :)

I hope that I can revert this hack soon, once the problem is fixed on the OS side.
[HTC Sensation] jayyo:
Thanks for the info, good to know. My phone is pretty happy at 1620, but at 1728 it sometimes gets unstable. I'll use the kernel install setting for the max I want CPU1 to run at and OC or UC CPU0 with CM9 settings on the fly. CM9 settings will let me set the clock speed higher than what is set when the kernel is installed, for some reason...
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
easy to answer, both cores are ramped up to max upon boot (to improve boot time). So if your chosen clock is unstable you will be hit in the face by it immediately.

If you start overclocking when you are boot up, the governor will rarely let the cpu be @ max clock, which then in turn allows you to set a higher max, though due to the fact that it is not used that much, you might not experience any troubles.

Additionally: Having one CPU lowered in the clock might give you the inch out of the TDP needed to run this clock safely. Both CPUs could be unstable at this clock.

So 2 reasons, both of them should let you think about your clocks :)

cmdline is an awesome idea, but it would be nicer, if we could just set max/min/scroff freqs in the aroma installer.

Bootloop

Ok I downloaded the AOSP Bricked kernel for ICS most recent version. I followed everything IM supposed to and It gave me a bootloop! please help! what do I do? I made a back up of all my stuff so thats ok I just need help navigating this aroma thing. thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Which rom are you running? Did you check sha1 checksum?
[HTC Sensation] DSTARK71:
School me. im not sure what sha1 is? Im running CM9 RC1
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Alright, then bricked should work since CM9 is AOSP based.

Sha1 is like a md5 but better (Google md5 vs sha1 ;)). Download this program to check the sha1 before flashing: http://www.cassarmanghi.net/2012/06/08/sha1-calculator/ (I assume you are running M$ Windows).

Also did you rename the file?
[HTC Sensation] DSTARK71:
ok I will do that. What will I be looking for with sha1? I am running MSWindows. I did not rename the file. What was I supposed to rename it to?
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
You can find the sha1 on bricked dowload page ;)

Why calculate a checksum? To make sure you flash the same file as uploaded, and not a changed/corrupted one.

Good, since you can set min/max cpu and max screen-off by renaming. The defaults are good for 90% of the people though.
[HTC Sensation] noooooo:

[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
You can't with that calc since it's only for text. Linux user + no morning coffee :p

Try this one instead: http://www.sinf.gr/en/hashcalc.html

You have to scroll down a bit for the download link. Very informative website though.

If the checksum of the file and the one on bricked.de match. Try reflashing the kernel. If that doesn't work try reflashing CM9, then kernel.

[HTC Sensation] kypeth:
Kernel 1.36 is a sense kernel, there is no AOSP version of it currently, meaning flashing a sense kernel on your OpenS rom was the cause of your degraded performance and lack of function.

[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
I noticed extreme battery drain when I flashed this with the MIUI rom for sensation. The battery life was great on the rom using the stock kernel but now it's horrible with this.

I had a full battery then browsed the web with wifi on and it used 50% battery in two hours. I then left my phone in the car for about an hour and a half and I came back and the phone was dead.

I oc'ed with faux clock to run benchmarks (which were excellent btw) but then dropped it back down to 1536.

Any idea why it destroyed my battery? Do you have to calibrate the battery after flashing a new kernel?

Besides the battery issue I love this kernel. Hoping I screwed something up somewhere.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] BumAround:
It might be due to batt calibration, or the batt gauge itself is faulty (MIUI build).

But the rule with frequent kernel testing: please full wipe (/system, /data, /cache, /dalvik) and try as much not to use restore app (well, restoring SMS via SMS Backup app & contacts with exporting from SDcard via MIUI feature won't hurt. I know it seems to be like lots of work, but just to make sure.

Hi,

how good is the Support for IC 3.3.1

Are there any tips?

Thank you... ;)
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Not sure what's causing that then, its only usually automatically triggered if there has been a change in system/app.
[HTC Sensation] spidey88:
I am so confuse of what causing it as well..Btw,did you wipe dalvik+cache before you flashed the Bricked kernel? I did that, and I am suspecting that is what cause my phone shows android is upgrading..
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
Wiping cash or delvik cash before installing the Bricked kernel is not the issue as I always wipe cash and delvik cash before installing new kernel. You probably have data corruption in your system/app. I would redo everything again and see if your problem still exist.

\Regards,
[HTC Sensation] spidey88:
So you are suggesting that I should try to reflash the kernel again?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
I think you need to flash the ROM and kernel again
[HTC Sensation] spidey88:
:(

That would be troublesome as I will need to backup and restore so many things..Anyway,previously I am also facing the same problem while flashing other kernel (not the AOSP version) into IC 5.4.0 ROM..Doubt might be my mistake in flashing, I usually only delete cache+dalvik then flash the new kernel..Is the procedure correct?
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
No not only the kernel, redo the ROM and kernel again as it seems you may have data corruption. Like bruce2728 suggested...

\Regards,
[HTC Sensation] awil95:
Does this kernel support charging at 900mA? Or is the phone not capable of charging at 900mA at all? Because there is a setting in the battery monitor app to enable faster charging at 900mA and I don't want to enable it without knowing whether our sensation can handle that much current? I know the Sensation AC Adapter is capable of 1amp but does the sensation really draw that much when charging? The app gives me options of 500mA and 900mA.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
AFAIK the ac charger is about 900ma-1amp and USB gives about 450-500ma.

That fast charging option just applies to usb 3 ports that are able to produce more mah than usb2 I think
[HTC Sensation] awil95:
OK thanks for the info!
[HTC Sensation] spidey88:
Ok,noted..btw,i just realize that the android is upgrading message on every reboot show "starting applications" instead of "optimizing applications 1xx/185" which appears on the first reboot after flashing new kernel..is it normal?
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
If it is data corruption you would get the message with every reboot and the rom itself will be unstable. As far as I know this happens whenever cache or dalvik cache is wiped on Android 4.0. I will do some tests with some other ROMs just to verify. Only other thing I could think of is a issue with recovery that was not known (I am using 4EXT Touch).

UPDATE

I have confirmed this to be the default behavior of Android 4.0 on both Sense and AOSP ROMs.
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
If there are no changes to system/app then it should show “Starting Applications” and if there are changes to system/app then it should show “optimizing applications xxx/xxx”

Reboot when turning wifi on.

I'm getting reboots when I turn on WiFi. It happens almost every time.

I did a wipe/factory data reset about a week ago, it fixed the problem for a few days. I was on CM9 nightly 7/7 until today, when I flashed 7/16. Reboots still happening. WiFi isn't broken or anything, this is just a small annoyance. The reboot does not happen on the stock CM9 kernel. I just like your kernel more than stock one ;).

Just flashed it last night but I wasn't sure what settings were best so I ended up leaving the CPU values as default and no overclock for the GPU's thinking it would be better for battery life.

Is there a general consensus on 'optimal' configuration or at least one that people generally seem to be doing?

Also, is it me or does this kernel result in a much more useful default android battery stats-it actually shows what app uses up battery life and how long they were awake for. That's fantastic.

Your phone may not be sleeping due to wakelocks. Mine does sleep. So the problem could be the kernel but it could also be a bug or an app (etc.) causing it.
