[HTC Sensation] hyphydragon:
i tested bricked faux and tiamat on the FpSE playstation emulator and running stock 1.188 mhz only tiamat played gran turismo smoothly using the "lagfree" governor, so i use tiamat now.

and in the benchmark id have to say bricked performed better that faux
[HTC Sensation] alitomari:
In my experience, Bricked has been more stable (I had freezes with various Faux kernels) but assuming both are working 100%, Faux has been slightly faster while Bricked is better on battery life.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Will you guys swear at me a lot of I say that stock is the best so far? 2.3.5 I mean
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
I've been using bricked. Always works perfectly. Never had any issues.
[HTC Sensation] yungyeh:
Faux's thread is gone and there is no faux's kernel for sensation any more. :(
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
yep, bummer...not sure why faux left the building!
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
faux is still there. It's the HTC Stock kernel in the developer section.
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
This is exactly it. I've used both Faux 0.2.3r3 as well as 0.2.4 release; and Bricked v1.5.

Faux has

worse idle battery life but better awake battery life

. Bricked has

better idle battery life but shorter awake battery life

.
[HTC Sensation] red8981:
My experience with faux and bricked kernel is that my battery dead at 9PM with Faux, while the other keep up until i go sleep and charge it =]
[HTC Sensation] wingray:
I am now using Faux 0.2.4r. Fast, smooth and stable. Acceptable battery consumption. Sad to know that Faux stop developing kernel for sensation. I will soon try Bricked's kernel.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Faux seemed a little faster and smoother for me with great battery. I am now using bricked due to the fact that true call recording is supported. Faux said it was, but I could still hear my end if I muted it, whereas bricked works correctly. Otherwise I think I pegged faux.
[HTC Sensation] yungyeh:
I got the faux0.24 to work on my device few days ago. It's impressive. The battery drain problem has gone. With minor usage I got 32 hours and massive usage with 21 hours. Unfortunately, I don't think I can post the 0.24 link here since it's officially not exist any more. Bricked kernel is excellent too as I got around 34 hours with minor usage, and 16 hours with massive usage.

The battery life was measured after the forth cycle for either kernel. Minor usage means display was on for less than 30 mins, and phone call for less than 30 mins. Massive usage means display was on for more than 1 hours and talk time for more than 2 hours.
[HTC Sensation] Jaybad:
used both

Faux drains battery like krazy but speed is good bricked is better but after using YouTube phone freeze . Battery is great. Heard some good things about rcmix kernals haven't flashed yet
[HTC Sensation] Rawahi:
faux still good as stable, but I'm using Bricked ver 1.5r1 beta1 on my sensation XE because the camera not hanging anymore with this version.

still days and days and no hangs with bricked, thanks to those guys for making me addicted to SPEEEEEEEEEEED!!:cool:
[HTC Sensation] xixoxix:
I agree with you both on that. I don't use phone a lot so I use bricked kernel to get longer battery life on idle.
[HTC Sensation] edgg51:
I use bricked 1.5 gives me good battery life and is really stable
[HTC Sensation] SonnyBBQ:
I am on bricked 1.5 as well, even though it crashes exiting youtube and when using the camera, it still gives me a lot better performance on battery than faux.
[HTC Sensation] Galaxa12:
Odd I have 1.5 bricked and don't have that issue.
[HTC Sensation] lampshade90:
in my opinion Bricked is the best. I was scary to try an other kernel than the included (faux), but the Bricked 0.91 is fantastic. In all categories battery life etc. I love it thanks Show for this amazing kernel
[HTC Sensation] SonnyBBQ:
Are you referring to the camera or youtube issue?

For the camera it happens when I take a picture and want to go to the gallery, by clicking the thumbnail from the camera view.

I am on ARHD 3.6.7 by the way.
[HTC Sensation] Galaxa12:
Ahh i'm using coredroid 2.6. It doesnt lock up on me either way.. i just got done using faux and my phone was getting up to 47 c.. so i went back to bricked.. it stays at 29-34c
[HTC Sensation] Langz:
For me this moment it's Bricked 1.4 together with Insertcoin 3.4.2 what works like a charm...

Tried Faux within the Androidrevolution (both Sense 3.0 and 3.5) but had camera issues (camera + powerbutton caused freeze).

This week for a short time I tried the new Bricked 1.5 with Insertcoin 3.4.2 and there where also camera issues (black screen when entering camera, freeze out of barcode scanner), with or without the additional fixes.

So for now on, it's Bricked what suites me better...

I don't know enough of the tweakable treasures of both kernels, so that's something to discover for the future :o
[HTC Sensation] longer83:
For me it was a hard choice between Faux and Bricked kernel. My Sensation stays idle mostly that's why I decided to use Bricked v1.5 as my daily driver with MIUI rom. No issues so far, fast and stable, I noticed performance increase in comparison with stock kernel, also longer battery life. Only one without drain issue.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
For my environment (CM7 Alpha 10) I went back to Faux 0.2.3beta9, I did try Bricked 1.5 for a couple of days. I've attached a screenshot showing what Current widget reported over the recent few days.

My setting across all kernels were 192/648 screen on and 192/384 screen off, undervolted by 100mV.

EDIT: I should have added that the first day of Bricked 1.5 was OnDemand and the second was SmartAssV2.
[HTC Sensation] Luigiesin:
I always used Faux Kernels.. They have an amazing performance.. but I just installed Bricked 1.6b1 XE and let me tell you, AWESOME !!!!!!! It's a mix of Faux's performance with Bricked battery life...

Very smooth and stable... great battery life... This is the longest I've been with a Bricked kernel and I think I'll be staying put here for a while... :=)
[HTC Sensation] knuddeknurft:
I've heard several people with the same problem as me with Faux kernels on ARHD. If you have it on camera mode and it falls asleep it doesn't wake up any more and the only way out is a battery pull.

There about the same in my opinion but because of that issue I've shosen the Bricked kernel
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
I have great resepct for both developers, but fear that the direction that Faux has taken resulted in the single major flaw that is the camera/screen off issue. Bricked never causes me any problems at all and I like the balance of battery life and performance that it gives.
[HTC Sensation] Talon25:
Anyone using Bricked v1.6b3 with ARHD 4.1.8? Wondering if that is better or should I go with Bricked v1.5?
[HTC Sensation] umartariq:
Praise to both developers..

With faux I get occasional heat up problem and idle battery drain was serious issue.

Bricked seems to perform better, idle battery drain is negligible, and my sensation stays cool..

I prefer Bricked.
[HTC Sensation] sbdags:
Both are still buggy imo. Stock is much more stable.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
That's because it has all the drivers. However on stock you can't controll OC or UV
[HTC Sensation] 808Granato:
kernal flash

I love the way my sensation 4g is running with ARHD-

except for the camera issue freezing up on closing

.

I have never(knowingly) messed with kernal.

Does that mean I have the "stock" kernal?

searching suggests I try the bricked kernal, im not even sure how or what the kernal is, but I will search that next,figure out how to change it over.
[HTC Sensation] knuddeknurft:
ARHD uses Faux kernels so ur not on stock. The screen freeze is a Faux issue but there is an app vor it to keep the screen awake on specific apps. keep screen or something like that
[HTC Sensation] Talon25:
I would DEFINITELY suggest switching to the Bricked kernel. It is more stable and battery life is better. I had a lot of problems with the Faux kernel so I would suggest slipping over. Heres the steps:

1) Download the Bricked Version 1.5 kernel

Bricked v1.5 Download

2) Place on SD card

3) Boot into recovery and flash the new kernel

4) ENJOY! :D - remember boot will take a little longer than normal :)
[HTC Sensation] kazi639:
What about deleting the cash/ delvik cash? is it mandatory to delete these two manually or simply installing the kernel from zip will do the trick. I am not sure cause once i got into bootloop by not deleting those cash. So what should be best practiced?
[HTC Sensation] sachin kundu:
On my sensy I have some issues with faux freeze ,reboots now I have changed to bricked kernel all problems fixed :)
[HTC Sensation] Talon25:
Hey great question! When flashing Bricked, do make sure you wipe the Dalvik cache :) nothing else is required but wiping the dalvik cache will "clean" up everything making the install as clean as possible.
[HTC Sensation] Kameeeleon:
I'm running ARHD 4.1.13 and tried swapping to Bricked, but contrary to other people's experiences in this thread it gave me much worse idle mAh drain.

With faux I can get around 50mAh with the screen off, with bricked I can't get it consistently below 100. This is with OC Daemon set to 192/384 (screen off) and 384/1188 (screen on) both on conservative governor.

I did try using SetCPU, System Tuner and JD instead of OCD to try and get bricked's usage down but all gave me around the same figure.

Anyone got any ideas? To be honest bricked was a little smoother but with both using conservative governor sitting at 192000 in deep sleep I don't see how it could mean double the drain. I'm pretty sure both kernels run the same voltage for 192MHz too, 0.8125.
[HTC Sensation] Talon25:
Did you make sure that you wiped the dalvik cache before flashing? Also, go to full charge and wipe battery stats. This might help fix that problem I havent heard of really anyone else having this issue with Bricked.
[HTC Sensation] Kameeeleon:
Yeah pretty sure I wiped, I've just put it down to the awful current meter on this phone, although I will be experimenting some more soon.

At the moment I'm back on faux but screen on drain is around 20%/hour and i'm really looking to get it lower!
[HTC Sensation] Talon25:
Good luck with everything, hope it all works out. If you do want Bricked I would follow these steps:

1) Download the Bricked Version 1.5 kernel

Bricked Kernel 1.5

2) Place on SD card

3) Boot into recovery

4) Wipe Dalvik Cache

5) Flash the Bricked file

6) ENJOY! - remember boot will take a little longer than normal :D

7) Confirm by going to Settings > About > Software > More > Kernel Version: should be 2.6.35.14-Bricked-v1.5

Other considerations:

I use Current Widget for having a current widget when trying to wipe battery stats

- Charge battery to 100% and then some - use Current widget and try to get it to 0 ;)

- Wipe battery stats with Battery Calibration

Hope all this works, or helps, or helps someone else - good luck!
[HTC Sensation] 808Granato:
stock kernal benefits/drawbacks?

Do you think thats the main reason people would switch out of the stock kernal? for oc/uv control I mean?

I really am tired of this camera freeze up problem. had faux kernal, keep screen app, and now using bricked kernal. All still jam up my camera.

All else is AWESOME with these ROMs and Kernals, but Im gonna throw my phone in the ocean if I keep missing pics of the kids and have to remove battery again!

Maybe stock kernal is where I belong???
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
Faux was my choice while in GB CD 3.3

Faux for me was more stable. Only had the Camera FC when burst mode. The other Camera problem only occurred to me when I follow the steps to make it happen. Before I was always exiting the app before sleep, and had the 1 minute screen off.

UV and in my case UC most of the time to save battery, was giving me more the 26 hours of life. When i needed extra power, I just overclock it to 1.51 and enjoy the speed.

The GPU OC i think is the key to better UI experience. The difference between stock and any of this custom kernel is highly noticeable.

Bricked for me had to many FC at the beginning and then I felt that when i was using the phone it has too much battery comsumption, but idle was fantastic. Finally I got the Faux's where I wanted, just to see how CoreDroid ICS was launched I flashed right away.

SebastianFM hex edited stock for GB was also very good in performance, no camera problem, but no so in battery because I couldn't undervolt it. This was my experience, we all know that each phone/kernel/rom and user are particular.
[HTC Sensation] ayoi92:
bricked kernel

I have try both kernel and now i use bricked kernel..if u want long battery life I suggest to use bricked kernel..
[HTC Sensation] Kameeeleon:
Sup guys, anyone got any hard comparison between the guys' ICS kernels? I don't like asking really but I don't have time to flash both and do loads of testing but if anyone has and can share experiences of which give the better battery life I'm all ears.
[HTC Sensation] hreba:
i have been on faux's kernel with latest arhd for two weeks... now i flashed 3.0 bricked - will report back soon. my personal interest is battery life
[HTC Sensation] Luigiesin:
Faux

I suggest you try Faux's kernel using the intellimand governor... it's pretty simple and it's very very battery efficient... not to mention is super fast.

You could also UV to 1.2Ghz if you want more battery.. but not necessary.

[HTC Sensation] dreko2000:
Hello guys . I want to flash faux kernel , but I got error 7 always. I am on stock Rom with ics s-off and rooted. What can be the problem
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
I think the comparison should be in different perspective.

Faux Kernel is a benchmark utility kernel which will keep your cpu and ram on the run to give you performance! If you are a gamer and care less about battery then FAUX is BEST!

On the other hand, Bricked is for users who really want to use the phone. It deffinately increase battery and most IMPORTANTLY solves the HEAT problem for which HTC got thousands of warranty replacements! But Bricked Kernel simply solves that.

Two questions: Some people are using Bricked kernel XE, some Bricked 1.5 and some Bricked 3.0? Why is that? AND

Is any body's using [MOD] Aroma | UV | 19-Jun | New dualcore configuration of last bricked kernel ??? If yes whats your take?

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

Why flashing FAUX? Go for bricked kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
I have few question, what you mean with awake bettery life? With sense 4 wich kernel you recomend? I have use bricked (little lagie) with pkmn5.1 anthrax just great but not good battery life, fauxs version 007_r2 it is said have some issues (I will try it on this days) rcmix, for me worst, not much battery life. So i just wanna know if you test on sense 4 wich One you believe is best. Thanks

I have a qwestion whenever I use a bricked kernel it makes my sensation run

A lot hotter than with a faux kernel.Do you have any idea why?I have never gotten great performance by using a bricked kernel either.I was told is the Rom don't recommend to use a bricked kernel then do use one.what have you had better luck running bricked kernels with aosp or sense roms. :)
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
Sense roks dude, ordroid is a great example for this!!!!! Take a look into that Rom, and obviously pkmn 5.1 just awsome how bricked works when it comes default kernel

[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
If you don't mind me asking what do you usually clock your phone up to when using a bricked kernel?and at what temp does your phone operate at?what a good bricked kernel version all around to use? :)
[HTC Sensation] l2icky:
I always run at 1.5 with any kernel and I have ran them all. You have to remember that what one person runs, may not be the same for someone else. Hardware is a huge factor on how each kernel performs in different devices, even if they are all the Sensation and kernel choice is always based on user preference. Test the kernels and make your own choice.

[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
Look when I flash bricked I set it as default, it means clock 1.5 on badass with battery saver no zram, bricked 3.0 v1.1, temp max rise into 40 TOP but allmost never goes more than that and it is when I use it in a heavy way

Can I use a bricked kernel ons sense Rom.Do they make sense and nonsense bricked kernels.I'm running 6.6.4 revolution hd with sense 3.6.could you recommend a bricked kernel for that Rom.for CPU up to 1.512,1.56 with good batt life.

[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
O.k. so basically they don't make sense and nonsense bricked kernels.there all universal.
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
No, there is One for each Rom, aosp and sense. Aosp is ics look, sense is the common One, on Roma, aosp is cm9 sense arhd. I suggest you to try aosp and sense roms with bricked to each Rom and so you have your own result to your divece because each divice is diferent , mine is not equal as your, you got my point? Maybe I am not clear, sorry if so

Is faux kernel v008 there latest,highest rated kernel for speed.by chance do you know what it good up too?:)
[HTC Sensation] D00mSlayer:
I'm Bricked! ;)
[HTC Sensation] kryostorm:
I tried the Faux kernel that came with HyperSensation 2.8 for a bit, and in 2.5 hrs of idle/light use, my phone dropped to 50% battery. Though that might've been because I was using intellidemand governor, if I remember correctly.

I switched to Bricked 3.0 using badass governor and my idle battery was much better, but it still drained fairly quickly with light/medium use.

Just flashed HyperSensation 3.0 and will be trying out Faux again for a bit, but I suspect I'll end up switching to Bricked again eventually.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I'm bricked and under clocked to save battery. Governor is badass.
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
I hace One question, faux os for sense 3.6 and bricked for sense 4? For arhd wich One you recommend

[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Yes. Check the logs. There's stability issues with newer version. 1.1 worked for me always
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Bricked gives better battery life that's important to me so I go with bricked !
[HTC Sensation] sssurfer:
Flashed Faux latest version (faux 008b8) to have a look wat so buzz abt it...

It worked well, slightly better than Bricked but at the cost of more battery consumption. :(

Result : Im sticking wid Bricked. :)
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
I'm using bricked right now on arhd 6.6.7 and I'm getting 4 more the battery life.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Bricked kernel v1.36 is awesome!!!
[HTC Sensation] chrisrj28:
Yes definitely bricked for battery and faux for performance. Gonna get an Anker battery to balance the use out
[HTC Sensation] Jagutherrschaften:
I am using this version of the Bricked-kernel PYRAMID: Bricked-3.0-v1.31-ics and experience the best battery life so far.

I didn't use my phone a lot during these 2 days, I think it was 2 short phone calls, some messages and reading some E-Mails. But as standby can drain battery a lot as well, I am very satisfied with the Bricked-kernel. I'm not using the latest version because I had issues with random reboots. My ROM is the Android Revolution HD 6.6.7.

Here is a screenshot, it's in German but I think you can easily guess what it says. If not, just ask and I will answer :).
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I have to vote bricked out of the two! :D
[HTC Sensation] hunt:
Thumbs up 4 Faux

I found that Faux is much more functional than the Bricked Kernel & on the performance basis also faux working Perfectly awesome,but it's a little bit more battery consuming, but what i want from my phone is Performance, so little less battery backup that i can easily omit...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[HTC Sensation] BMamba550:
I started with Faux and it seemed fast but there was something about it my Sensation didn't like and kept going into boot loops. Tried different versions too with no success. Then I switched to Bricked last year after learning from other XDA users' (similar) experiences...and it was rock stable! So Bricked for me :)
[HTC Sensation] drama1er1:
I don't like faux kernel it reboots on ondemand once I got that I switched to bricked its OK I'm using cm9.1 with it its OK the only thing I found is with when you turn off the screen it blinks
[HTC Sensation] jyo1:
faux with intellidemand is my choice :) bricked is equally good, but chose faux since there is more research and updates happening for faux kernel :D
[HTC Sensation] sssurfer:
Bricked kernel with some mods for speed n free ram.....n u got a battery saving kernel with no lag.. :)
[HTC Sensation] perdevnull:
I have the best result with Faux comparing to the Bricked.

Governor ondemand.

The Sebastian's kernel even better, but does not support yet the sweep2wake. As I know this is an ongoing process.

Faux123 vs bricked kernel

I was running faux123 since a couple of months ,and I found bricked kernel, with kcontrol to change setup, now a can choose my personal configuration directly from Android, no reinstallation to do, if you disabled zram, you get more battery life, my config: CPU max 1.4 low. 375. Gpu 484, no zram balance default setup, and my nexus 7 2012, run great, then ever
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
Ok so to the left of the speaker on the top of the phone i see a dim red light... Go into dialer and type *#0*# and hit sensor and look to see if you have the little red light to the left on the top of the phone... You may have to be in a dark place... I think its the procimity sensor... But i just want to make sure i dont have a lemon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Hmm you're definitely right. I don't think it's the proximity sensor though, as in the little test that I ran with a small piece of paper, the proximity sensor didn't signal being "covered" unless it was the sensor to the left of the red blinking sensor that was covered. What's interesting though is that on that sensor test, the light turns off when you select the ambient light option
