how are u guys finding battery life on this rom?

i was using the pre rooted OTA version completely stock and was getting 2 days battery all the time!

with any other rom i seem to only just make it past the 1 day mark. And this is with the same average days usage too...

What's the latest version of the Hyperion kernel?

I presume like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7GvZGedWpQ
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
:) Yeah , exactly I thought how it shud be ....

Thanks !

Btw, the latest Hyperion kernel version is 1.2. { [ROM][17 OCT 11][Hyperion V2.0|Sense 3.0|GB 2.3.5][Hyperion kernel V1.2|OC|BFS] }
[HTC Desire S] noodles2k:
yeah, but is it 1.2 Beta1 or newer?
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
OoPs ... Sorry... Not sure about that !

Think it'll be the newer one though. . .
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
No Oly, my sig only says what the kernel is capable of and the maximum overclockable CPU frquency. This ROM is so smooth, i actually keep it underclocked at 998 Mhz.

Here is my setup in detail... [CLICK]

Hope this helps... :)
[HTC Desire S] noodles2k:
is the Hyperion kernel link in your sig the latest version?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
The final is the same as the beta, as there este no issues. Use the beta link.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Nice one, cheers mate :)
[HTC Desire S] g-member:
wow did i miss something???

is there a patch for the buttonbacklights??

where?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
What i have in my signature is the last standalone kernel that lowveld posted on the first page of this thread.

Currently the Kernel is pre-cooked into the ROM so he has removed the link for the Kernel.

As far as i know, the Beta (in my signature), is still the kernel lowveld is using as the stable 1.2

However, I don't want to profess knowledge of something i am not 100% sure of, but this link may help

EDIT: I see lowveld has already answered your question... So there you are. Problem solved.
[HTC Desire S] Mace490:
I need a patch too.

The old patch isn't working.

My buttons are only glowing in complete darkness.

Please help us lowveld!!!

button backlight mods

Ok, here you go. Flash the correct one for your theme, stock or honey. Note that this is not a bug, it's just a question of personal taste. With these files, the backlight will turn on sooner.

I really thank u for ur work and time u put in this ROM :) Wonderfull :)

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Loving the looks (stock), content, speed and slickness of this ROM.

When the device is in sleep mode it even seems to have excellent battery consumption very nearly comparable (+1mA) to the best sense v2.1 ROMs that I ever used (namely LBC mod), which is quite remarkable.

However, when awake and running especially when using mobile data the battery usage seems higher. I normally stream radio through an application on my daily commute to work but I've been finding that much more battery consumption has been being used than was previously on my previous ROMs, this could obviously be caused by a combination of radio change as well as ROM, But, I just thought that I'd report my findings, to see if I'm alone with this feeling/findings? Anyone??

I've have re-calibrated the battery. Has anyone else experienced/witnessed this slightly high consumption when used that I'm describing? It's not excessive but certainly worse than previously.

Thanks again....

EDIT:

I'm also getting getting complaints from the tasker application (that I rely heavily on) that there is Low memory available even though there is over 200mb reported free by the task manager, is there any way to exclude an application from the super charger or allocate if more memory?, if this is what is indeed what is causing this, this never happened before on prior versions.

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Yes!!! It happened to me too actually! It is very strange, but I've got rid of that, since I could verify the amount of free memory which was not so small.
[HTC Desire S] Tik_Tak:
Hey!

Thanks for the great rom, works like a charm

i applied a RTL fix for your rom (for Arabic and Hebrew support), do you want me to send it to you?

and another question, i see you all talking about using OC/UV Beater, what are the default settings the rom is using? (1GHZ all the time?)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
This is due to the supercharger settings. You're not actually out of memory, just out of memory for that type of applications.

Remember when I released 2.0 I said I was yet to decide if the ~200Mb free ram was a good thing? Yeah, this was the cause.

I'll experiment with other settings that may give better multitasking and do not reserve so much memory for the sense launcher, as apparently is not being needed, hence used.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I still haven't been able to do proper battery consumption tests, due to almost psychotic continuing flashing of my poor phone... :)

But in any rom, once I turn on 3G, I'm screwed. It may be a radio/ril thing. I'm currentlt on radio 20.44.30.0821U_3821.08.00_24M. I can't remember if this is the latest or not, but I don't think so.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Is it possible to pre-allocate (set aside) memory for a certain application, like tasker (which effectively are always running) or exclude them from this aggressive memory purge?

The "low memory" popup which tasker gave has only happened once in two/three days and I'm not sure if caused the application any issues but just thought that I should report it all the same after reading you said that you weren't decided about super charger?!
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
That message appeared only once to me too.

I use tasker too actually.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I also use tasker (sounds like a damned commercial, but it's true). It gave me the message the very first day I used V2.0, that's what got me thinking.
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Lock it in? ... oom_adj -18, renice -5?
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Possible, but adding background scripts for polling app state, getting current pid and renicing seems ugly.

IMO, better to optimize minfree values for actual usage, and let android do its thing.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
I'm most likely wrong, but couldn't you do something like what I've got bellow, as the oom_adj locks it into the memory (avoiding the lowmemorykiller), then the renice ups its priority in the process management, which inevitably should avoid it from dying and/or losing its priority on the process list.

sleep 180

echo "-18" > /proc/`pidof app.name`/oom_adj;
renice "-5" -p `pidof app.name`;
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Yes, and it would work. But I'd use that for when you actually are out of memory. In this case, there's too much memory in slot 3 reserved for the launcher, resulting in apps getting possibly killed when there's actually a lot of free ram sitting there doing nothing.

Then there's the question of which apps you actually want locked. For me, it would be phone, mail, sms and contacts. But that will surely change for other users (whatsapp springs to mind).

Bottom line, I'd like to get a not-perfect solution that fits everyone. And then if you know what you're doing, tweak it.

By the way, nice seeing suggestions like these spring up on this forum. :D

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Yeah I've looked at doing that a few times, and given up purely based on the time I'd spend doing it, tweaking it, ensuring all applications run coherently without any hiccups.

Good luck ;-).

Battery review of hyperion v2.0

Okay, so i've been doing some battery testing on this ROM since the last couple of days.

The phone came off the charger in the wee hours day before yesterday and usage has been relatively light (very subjective term, so I'm posting screenshots).

The device was always connected as long as i was awake. So connection off between 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. The mobile data was on most of the time (when i was at work) and when available (at home), wifi was used (around 8 hours total).

Background Data was left to Always On. Auto sync was turned Off.

Screen brightness was locked at 40% with auto-brightness set to Off.

At no point during the test was the phone put in Airplane mode, or the brightness settings changed.

Nor were the OC/UV Beater settings adjusted from what they were to begin with. Quadrant scores just before the phone died have been attached as screenshot as well (Best of 2)

The phone use was real world. The phone did not lie in one place with steady cell reception. I traveled across the city for my commute to work and back, jumping cell towers like anybody else.

I must mention that power saver kicked it at 10% battery level at it's default settings.

Prominent usage features included :

> Phone calls (2 hours and 16 mins)

> Light internet browsing (Don't know how much honestly, but must have fired up the browser around 15 times)

> Whatsapp messaging service used frequently.

> Email syncing manually every 4 hours or so.

> Facebook and friendstream refresh every two hours or so, again manual.

> Camera used thrice for still photos.

The screenshots posted below were taken just before the phone died. They are mostly self explanatory.

All in all, i am personally more than satisfied with that kind of performance.

This has been the single best battery life on my phone from the day i bought it. There may be unknown variables here, but i tried to keep the use of the phone as real world as possible on normal weekdays and this is what i have found.

I have posted these results for the community in general as a, lets say, reference for comparison... better or worse.

All credit for what i think is a stellar performance and battery life goes to lowveld.

Hope this is of some use to someone!! :D
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Nice review, am not getting that kind of juice at all, max 18 hrs. My OC settings are same as yours, no UV.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I was a test engineer a few years back, and even then I wasn't so thorough. :)

Thanks a lot man!

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Thanks.

No UV on my setup either.

Maybe you need to calibrate your battery first to know exactly how much juice you have left.

The numbers on the battery icon only indicate what your OS thinks is the current battery level.

If your calibration is off (common after flashing a new ROM and booting up at a different battery level) you could get erroneous readings which could mislead you.

Hope the recalibration helps you.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

Its only fair that i put back into this ROM what it has given me.

I know i'll never be able to match the latter, but i'm just trying to do my part and this is my way of thanking you, and everybody here at this forum for this amazing ROM, feedbacks, tips, answers, etc which have amplified my Android experience in ways i had never imagined.
[HTC Desire S] ems328i:
Would you happen to know if this would work with the VoidU S 1.1a rom? It's for my dad, he could flash it to test but if it borked anything he would be screwed and I'm not there in person to help out....
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
As I can't also personally test it, I won't vouch for it mate... Sorry...
[HTC Desire S] masterl1983:
Hi all,

quikc question. I used the HTC Sense Keyboard with arrows on my 2.1 Sense ROM. Do you think it would work with this Sense 3.0?

I know. Just give it a try. But I don't want to screw my ROM now... it is running so so smooth.

Maybe someone jst knows if a sense 2.1 app will run on sense 3.0.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Hey, don't worry about screwing up your ROM. What are nandroid backups for?

Worst case scenario, it doesnt work... Restore nandroid.

Unless someone else has already tried this, he/she would have to take the same "risk" and flash it on his/her perfectly set up ROM to answer your question, right?

I know you probably know this already but just trying to help.

Peace.

EDIT: On second thoughts, wait for lowveld to answer. This is his baby and he knows its innards... so i best not go mouthing off stuff i don't fully understand.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah I used 2.1 keyboard on 3.0 sense before (voidu)

Why not just take a backup, if it goes wrong, restore it! :)
[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
Why don't you lower the min frequency to 122000?
[HTC Desire S] A2Z:
I don't have this rom running but want to have its grass background, where could i find it please?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Mate, I already answered your question earlier In the thread!

Please go back and read it. It is included in all android roms by default
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
I think he wants the background I use, it's not in the other roms. Attached.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
READ THIS, This should answer your question.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ah! The wallpaper is automatically enabled when you choose the honey skin then :)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Oly, am I to understand that you actually enabled the HoneyHD skin, after complaining about non-stock look as if it were the worst thing that could happen in life? :)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
What do you think?

Ok, my pet project just graduated to highschool. Sense 3.5, pure stock + optimizations:

What do you think?
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
cool.Endymion??WTF lol :D
[HTC Desire S] r_benamin:
cool!

we NEED this one :-)

any ETA ?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
No haha! I just gave it a quick test ;)

Love stock theme :)

AWESOME! is it bug free? :O

You're so quick and development!! Haha!

Everything working?
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Thought you had been pwnd there mate lmao
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Everything I tried is working, that doesn't mean EVERYTHING is working. Getting the wifi and g-sensor working was a pain in the ass.
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Looks good mate .

Of course i'll use it when you get it sorted
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Will test the gps on the way home. If it works, I'll put it out tonight. Just don't go ballistic if you find some bug. Remember Hyperion on the early days...

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Of course I wouldn't !
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
If you need testing, i'm your man!! :D:D:D

Hyperion, Endymion... where DO you get these names man!!?!

[HTC Desire S] noodles2k:
from which device?

Also do you have a source for your kernel? I would like to see how it performs with noop.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Runnymede. The kernel on this will ágio with noop and cfq until i do more testing.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I sent you a PM earlier today :p I thought you'd already want it :)

Check now :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Looking forward to the ROM :) I'll happily test it for you :)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
If you want to check it out...

Endymion V1.0 ROM

This is based on the official 1.02.401.1 WWE RUU for Runnymede (final version - release-keys) with several tweaks and optimizations, plus a modified UNITY kernel (credits for great base go to m-deejay). Actually, this kernel is based on the Hyperion kernel, with different settings. The V1.0 Endymion kernel includes:

- Working front facing camera

- Working stereo video recording

- Less aggressive undervolting

- noop IO Scheduler

- CFS Scheduler

View attachment 754751 View attachment 754752 View attachment 754753

V1.0 is an initial version, as close to stock as I could make it and still run on the Desire S. The base version, apart from under-the-hood optimizations, has no extra features compared to the original Runnymede except APM, which everyone wants. This is for people who want as close to stock as possible.

As a addon, you can flash the RCTweaks as released in RCMix3D Runny 3.0 by Capychimp. I included a flashable, but please note that this is completely his work, and I do not claim any credit whatsoever. The man is a genius. Period.

Description:

- Base: 1.02.401.1 WWE RUU for Runnymede - release-keys

- Kernel: Endymion V1.0

- OC limited to 1459200Hz (come on guys, be sensible)

- UV 50Mv lower than UNITY V9 (this means it's LESS under-volted, but still lower than stock, lots of people having problems with too aggressive UV)

- Other performance teaks

- All the other optimizations that come with the UNITY kernel

- Android 2.3.5

- Sense 3.5

- Advanced Power Menu

- deodexed

- zip-aligned

- Added root permissions and SuperUser

- Unsecured boot image

- Ad Blocker pre-installed (hosts files, no extra program needed)

- Stock boot up and down animations

- Busy box

- runparts enabled (init.d scripts)

- init.d tweaks

- virtuous OC daemon installed

- Performance and smoothness tweaks

- GPU rendered UI

- Completely stock framework

- Pre-applied V6 Supercharger memory management - All credits to author at this thread: link

- Super Smooth Rosie - All credits to author at this thread: link - Changes applied directly over Endymion original Rosie

Download V1.0

http://www.multiupload.com/WY34T7ZLEF

Installation Instructions:

- Full wipe necessary

- Install V1.0

- You're done

RCTweaks addon (optional):

http://www.multiupload.com/AWUANYIRMD

- RCTeam tweaks (Thanks to capychimp) including:

- turn on/off CRT animation on screen off

- turn on/off CRT animation on screen on

- Overscroll settings

- Ability to choose Android Lockscreen

- Custom function for right button on launcher

- Choose between 4x4 and 5x5, transparent or not app drawer

- Choose "normal" or kinetic scroll on app drawer

- Ability to show/hide Recent Apps on notification bar

- Ability to customize which quick settings you want to see (sense 3.5 style)

- Ability to chose to show quick settings by default when no notifications are active

- Enable/disable Unlock animation (the spinning carousel)

- Enable 3D home

Flash over Endymion V1.0.

Enjoy!

sooooo.....is this the end of hyperion then?

And the endymion base......from stock desire s rom? Can't wait for more details. hope the honey_hd skin will be added too. Love that skin!

Edit.....damn didn't see the last page lol.

What i do like to know is......what are the changes besides sense 3.5??
[HTC Desire S] pdf5:
@lowveld

great job

sorry,but why you dont make a new thread ?

any way.i will try it , wait for the feedback
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Not stock desire S! Stock runnymede! I mean I started from scratch.

Sense 3.5 IS the changes. And a different kernel.

---edit---

And this is not the end of Hyperion, not by a long shot. Just wanted to see what I could do with Sense 3.5. This is still my favoured child. :P
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
There is a new thread, just reposted here so Hyperio users would be the first to know.
[HTC Desire S] pdf5:
man you are just awesome :D
[HTC Desire S] pumpernickel77:
Lol I didn't notice the PM.

Thank you I'd like the patch.
[HTC Desire S] masterl1983:
Wow, wow, wow!

You are awesome! Did somebody told you already? :-)

I will follow the posts for the new ROM but I will stay with Hyperion for now. It is just perfect, I don't miss anything and don't see any benefit to change to Sense 3.5 at the moment (my opinion).

If no other ROM will beat this one in terms of stability, performance, look & feel, features, support I probably will stick to it till an Android 4.0 ROM will arrive for our lovely Desire S.

Lets see if you can change my mind with your new project :-)

[HTC Desire S] Jahral:
Honey HD Theme is Awesome

Cheers Lowveld the honey theme was exactly what I was looking for.

Prob should of checked it out first before blabbing on:):)

Just added Kalagas icons from the kitchen and boom awesome:):)

At this stage this rom seems perfect. Couldn't hope for anything more.

(Damn I just saw your new rom looks like my phone isn't going to get a rest. haha)

I just ran Quadrant a couple of times and managed to get this; OC to 1.2Ghz
[HTC Desire S] g-member:
Gonna stick to hyperion, love this rom! Changes between senses are to small..... and hyperion is so stable and smooth now, will try to sort out the powermanagement errors and subsys errors in logcat...... Not because it's nessecary but i just hate errors lol ;)
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Love Hyperion but gonna try the new one ,just to see , downloading now and doing backups :)

thanks lowveld
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Tested the new one, but now back to Hyperion :)
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Think the new one is pretty good mate,gonna try it for a few days to see how it goes
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah I think it looks very promising now!

I reckon it will be just as good as hyperion once It's well tweaked up.

I really like it, but can't stand the fonts being a bit too small :)
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Can't say I've really noticed the fonts that much but now you say it they are smaller ,but thats not something that would bother me too much
