So Is BadAss performance based or Battery Based? If I want better battery should I choose on demand?
[HTC Sensation] kozmikkick:
Badass has a choice of 3 default levels when you select it on install. Performance, balanced, and battery saving.

All three are good for battery.
[HTC Sensation] ximmox:
What kozmikkick said + all three should be better than ondemand batterywise.

I'm running badass batterysaving configuration and the phone is as smooth as possible, I recommend to try it for yourself.

Wauuuuu thank you :victory::victory::victory::victory:
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
I have tried both Bricked and SebastianFM kernels. Bricked is awesome because of badass governor while sebastianFM only has ondemand which is useful

There is 1 thing: Bricked can handle my -10% UV mod easily (1188mhz = 950mV) while sebastianFM kernel crashses and it can just handle -9% (1188mhz = 1000mV)

But sebastian can run 192mhz @ 725mV or even 700mV without any random reboot

Bricked min value is 750mV

==> so if you allow us to set min UV value into 725mV in the next version, screen-off battery life will be awesome!

So, Thanks boss for a great kernel :D
[HTC Sensation] dmeinder:
Show.....I flashed and picked bad ass, but gov on boot was ondemand. I'm running aokp b39....and didn't have set at boot checked under rom control....I'm sure their could be other factors, but just an fyi.

This was verifies with system tuner.

Also I'm now skeptical if my balanced gov selection took hold....haha.

I'll run for a while and maybe flash over top....others please post if they experience similar as this could just be me.

Cheers!

The balanced setting will take hold once you choose badass as it is controlled by the badass script . :)

Because this is an AOSP Kernel. Wakeup! :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] eterno13:
Waiting for this a lot of time thanks
[HTC Sensation] eterno13:
But if is just for AOSP why is a update from SENSE kernel and no a new kernel thread?
[HTC Sensation] eterno13:
Showp is this only for AOSP?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
reboot your phone twice and gimme last_kmsg after you did that :)

But chances are that your rom/an app is somewhere overwriting kernel settings.

balanced is a preset for badass, which will only be active if you boot your phone up with badass as default governor.

Because...

Wait, what? :D

This is for AOSP only, as mentioned in numerous places (title, op, kernel, download page, this post, twitter, etc...), you will loose wifi/bluetooth if you flash this on sense.

Additionally: If you flash this on sense your mpdecision and thermald will be renamed to mpdecision_backup/thermald_backup. So I strongly suggest that you rename them back once you flash a sense kernel again (because this sense kernel will most likely not have built in thermal and mpdecision control).
[HTC Sensation] adakaya1994:
That one is sense kernel thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1256668
[HTC Sensation] dmeinder:
I can answer that....yes, only aosp/aokp/cm9.

Note that you still have to know the base...example, this won't work on VI or miui.us/.android.
[HTC Sensation] eterno13:
Sorry my bad it is a new thread....
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
My phone loves your kernels ShowP, can't wait to try this new guy out
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
wonderfull!

you'll break my mod.. but.. this is a good news.. mpdecision is a stupid and slowly script, that's the different from oneX to gs3.. gs3 uses pegasusq, it's like your kernel

great work show!!!!
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Btw, this is the AOSP thread (aosp roms usually don't have mpdecision, so I assume you meant to post in the sense thread ^^)

Either way you can deactivate mpdecision in the kernel if you set the right values :p

nwns_threshold_up = 0

nwns_threshold_down = 100

that should hotplug cpu1 instantly and never unplug it (except scroff_single_core is set)
[HTC Sensation] pettigrew95:
Is ZRAM recommended to be on or is it more of a personal preference? Any advantage/disadvantage to having it enabled/disabled? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] hdjx20:
did the sense kernel update to 1.2 yet?
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
Dude seriously!!!
[HTC Sensation] iverson3-1:
I second that question. Never really knew the benefits of having zram or the disadvantages. I Google it once and saw a guy say that it can drain battery faster but I really don't know. I usually disable it tho since I read that post.

"I wanna be the apex of predators in my backyard"

Joe Rogan
[HTC Sensation] inspire4gfreak:
^^^^^ Also want to know the answer for that question.

And one more thing... Why cpu1 is offline in performance governor? I think it was always on when I choose performance in previous versions...
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Alright trying to explain Zram in a single sentence, if it's not clear I'll try to be more clear.

Zram is a technique to compress ram on the fly which reduces swapping (you have "more" ram) at the cost of some cpu cycles (negligible performance penalty).

Why should it be online if there is no load?

Kernel based mpdecision hotplugs cpu1 based on load. No load, cpu1 not online.

I know people love having cpu1 online all the time but our cpu wasn't meant to function that way. Having it online all the time doesn't give you any performance benefit (except if you are running a crappy governor which hotplugs cpu1 too late). Plus since cpu1 is online it drains the battery.
[HTC Sensation] ximmox:
Do you all use ZRAM?

I was under the impression my phone has enough RAM, my HTC Magic benefitted from Compcache, but the Sensation?

Or is the performance impact so negligible, that one enables it just in case it could be of use sometimes?

Edit: And concerning the kernel: v1.19 and v1.20 work beyond perfect with OS for me, danke showp!

One minor request that someone already mentioned: possible to allow undervolting even further? 192MHz would be stable with (way) less than 750mV, which is for me enough up to 432MHz.
[HTC Sensation] inspire4gfreak:
Thanks for the explanation. I just thought something is wrong with my phone or my rom. I like this kernel even more now! Kudos!
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
you basically answered your questions. I did not see the need for me so I keep mine disable.

\Regards,
[HTC Sensation] nakolas69:
is this compatible with cm9?
[HTC Sensation] g3n3ral:
Yes im using it now with cm9 official ^^
[HTC Sensation] razhasnain:
This is battery saver or not
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
I am getting more battery with this ( OS 21-06) but other people have different experiences. YMMV.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
The sensation will benefit too, as ZRAM lowers the need to kill apps and reload them from scratch. That saves battery but uses slightly more CPU time.

So in the end it is a personal choice. Try it with and without and see whats better for you.

I will lower the min uv value in some next update (if I don't forget it, the issue track <feature wish> would be a great way to remind me :p)
[HTC Sensation] papikev:
Is anyone experiencing audio routing issues with SMS notifications? My phone ring tone seems to be fine, but notifications is really low. Settings are set and fine. I am on aokp build 39 with bricked aosp kernal v1.2. Any feedback would be appreciated. Regards.

Sent from my Sensation using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
[HTC Sensation] Sym_Link:
The audio routing issues are not kernel related. Both CM9 and AOKP had this issue regardless of kernel used. It has been somewhat fixed in the latest CM9 nightlies and in the AOKP repo. My personal AOKP nightlie has it fixed so look for it in the next AOKP release.
[HTC Sensation] papikev:
Okay, thanks. However I should note that I just flashed bricked 1.2 last night with aokp build 39. Prior to that I was on 1.1 and no issues whatsoever until I flashed 1.2. Did a fresh flash with rom and kernal. Started from scratch. No complaining here, I think the kernal is awesome. I did realize that audio routing has been an issue, but since it happened with the new flash last night, it made me wonder if it had anything to do with the kernal. Thanks again.

I haven't used a Bricked kernel for quite some time but I'm seriously impressed with the install options (Aroma and file renaming) - slick.

Initial impressions are that WiFi doesn't drain the battery as much. I'm running HyperSensation v2.7 (AOSP).

Well done and thanks :D

PS: looking forward to any possible improvements to charging whilst navigating...
[HTC Sensation] ximmox:
Using v1.2 on OpenSensation from the 21st.

I've activated S2W on install without the button backlights, does anyone else with this setting notice, that after sweeping to lock the button backlights turn off and then light/blink up for a few mseconds?

This doesn't happen always and seemingly without system, I can't reproduce it for testing.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
That's a sweep2wake bug, one I never cared enough about to fix it to be honest :D

well, actually it isn't even a sweep2wake bug, it's an LED driver bug, because if you set '0' (offline) it will first enable the LED's and then disable them. Don't ask me why xD
[HTC Sensation] ximmox:
Danke, it's only a small cosmetic bug and not really disturbing, just wondered if I set up something wrong.

I thought that I've seen it first with the bricked-Kernel, not with TamCore's which I've used before. Otherwise I might have just missed it there, don't know, I'll check that later.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Showp, does this kernel use (U)KSM?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
It's in the next version :)

But I don't know if the KSM patch was already merged in the cm repos (for os support), I could head over to gerrit and look, but nah... lazy... + I hate gerrit :D

Just wiped, installed cm9 nightly from 23/06, installed this kernel v1.3 and gapps.

The swipe on/off screen function seems to be causing odd behaviour. After swiping off successfully, the screen (and buttons) becomes totally unresponsive. After a minute or so it may let me swipe back on, but sometimes although the button backlights come on when swiped the screen backlight remains off. the screen is 'awake' though as i can feel the tactile feedback from swipe unlocking the screen padlock symbol even though there's nothing displayed.

Am i missing something?

Incidentally, why are there two separate threads for this kernel, the other one being

Hi, what's the advantages to undervolt with system tuner?and how much can i undervolt?

Actually i flashed briked 1.2 with badass balanced.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
In theory you save energy by undervolting. In practice the savings aren't worth the effort.

Nice article to read, not the same phone but the same principles apply: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...ry-study-brings-about-surprising-conclusions/
[HTC Sensation] amsterdam88:
So, how to set the kernel to have a better battery life?

Which are the value to edit ?
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
You can't set any value. The article I linked showed it.

Stuff like zram and ksm should save some reloading and thus some battery. Don't expect miracles, like 25% more battery life.

AOSP kernel for Pyramid has some bugs like eg. alarm manager (partial) wakelocks and no complete hardware acceleration both of which cost a lot of juice. Fixing them saves battery.

Best way to save power, don't use your phone. Ridiculous but true.

[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Doesn't look like a kernel problem to me, last_kmsg?

btw: does disabling "force gpu 2d rendering" under development options fix it? (there are reported problems with that all over the place)

last_kmsg @issuetracker with as much information as humanly possible or it didn't happen. But chances are that you are the only one, and chances are that it is not the kernels fault (because it works for everyone else)

Works for me on the cm9 nightlies & AOKP.

ofc it is compileable, I compiled it Oo

Compile it with the aosp prebuilt toolchains or with the linaro long term stable release. Both should work perfectly.

(or fix the problem if you want to continue using your toolchain)

Same here mate.

But mine occurs when my phone go to Sleep or Standby Mode.

Then i push the power button but it never woke so i just press it long enough to boot. It likes the phone turn off when it goes to Sleep or Standby Mode but it happen only twice a day.

It happen to me on both v.1.2 and v1.31..:confused:
[HTC Sensation] seadersn:
linaro... k, trying it, used 4.4.3 prebuilt from sdk :)

but this way one can't include it in cm9 build process; i'll find a way *g*

I use everything @ default and baddass except for 1.5, I use 1.2ghz. I disabled and enabled force gpu rendering in dev options too but it still reboots. It happened to me in Open sensation June 21, and AOKP build 40 from yesterday.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Different usage of phone.

You have different apps running, other sync settings, etc. Your location is also important, a lot of moving around and a weak signal also cost a lot of battery.

Also don't forget a lot of people use batteries with higher capacities, like the Anker one.
[HTC Sensation] aimcr7:
Works fine here with disabled s2w and zram and 1,5Ghz balanced badass, no reboot even with uv -100. :)

Have you tried clean flash? Full wipe then flash bricked immediately after flashing rom?

i am on OrDroid 9.0.0 sense 4.0, is it compatible?

[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
AOSP means Android Open Source Project so it won't work on Sense.

This question has been asked before. You can save yourself and others time by using the search function next time ;)
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
upon it's deactivation with (echo 0 > /sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/enabled) mpdecision will enable cpu1 (if not already online) and only put it down when your screen is offline / up if your screen is online again.

You can disable that too if you set /sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/scroff_single_core to 0 too, then both cores will be online all the time.

Yeah Genius, you are in the AOSP thread, ofc it will have aosp in it's filename :)

Head over to the Sense thread (without aosp) and then it will work on ordroid ^^

(or choose the right kernel from my website)
[HTC Sensation] amsterdam88:
Thanks man for the answer!!!;)

One last question: what's the difference between to have badass setted on 1,56ghz/192mhz or other value, for example i read that more people set with 1,18ghz/384mhz?
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
No problemo :)

Extra performance (20-30% if I remember correctly) as opposed to stock (max 1,118 GHz).

Higher clockspeed mean higher temps though and could drain more battery. On the other hand, higher clockspeed mean that the race to idle is settled earlier, thus saving power. YMMV!
[HTC Sensation] amsterdam88:
Can i ask you how do you setted your kernel?and which rom are you running?
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Sure:1,5 GHz max clock, 384 MHz min clock, 1,2GHz max screen off, Sweep2wake disabled, zram enabled, balanced badass governor and cfq io scheduler

Using the 21-06 build of OpenSensation with a few tweaks.

Is it possible to change max screen off value with system tuner?Mine is setted on 486!!why yours is 1.2GHz?and what's the difference between set min clock on 384MHz instead of 192MHz?
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Haha, unfortunately I don't speak that much Italian. Amsterdam is indeed a lovely city, especially if you live in it ;)

Idk, I try to use as less apps as possible. Thought it was possible to do so though.

Mine is set higher due to race to idle. So my phone clocks earlier back. Testing if it saves battery.

My Sensation doesn't like 192 MHz, I get SoD's using the frequency so I set it a bit higher.

Hope that clarifies it :)
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
Mpdecision polls by default every second if CPU1 needs to go online, does that process use much CPU power itself?

Per default it polls every 500ms and that doesn't produce any noticeable performance decrease. I am just checking against 2 values if it is necessary to pull cpu1 up.
