I flashed this kernel s on still everything is fast smooth wifif good no lag.. Thanks faux.....
[HTC Amaze 4G] derride8:
What is ur settings u r using please.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Well, first, I went into init.post_boot.sh and deleted the lines that turn ON the second CPU, they are needed, and they just keep the cpu on ALL the time rather than as needed.. with setcpu you can just set the min and max speeds, set on boot.. and if you want you can set the governor settings to keep it from constantly ramping up and down the cpu speeds..

Remove these lines from the above mentioned file:

As I said, those lines are not needed and just keep the second core online all the time rather than just when you need it.

and setup the up thresh hold to 95, the down threshhold to 5, the sampling rate to 50000 - the threshholds will keep it from jumping up to max speed, dropping down to slow speed, back and forth really quickly.. sampling speed is how often it checks to see if it needs to adjust the cpu speed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Isn't that the same as just setting your governor to conservative or lag free

I have kozmicks kernel and my second cpu is off like 75% of the time except when needed
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
What rom are you using? 2nd core was always on with NRGs rom + fauxs kernel
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Nrgs + kozmik
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
I deleted those lines, and my phone just started rebooting over and over
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
On Energy ROM and Faux's kernel the second core isn't always on...
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
I flashed this kernel and it's working great, but I noticed with set CPU I could not adjust the min/Max freq's i.e. if I adjust the max freq the min jumps to match it without me touching it and vice versa. So I uninstalled set CPU and installed a system tuner and I could adjust the min/Max but they were inverted Max set the min and min set the max. I also did not see the smart ass gov or the BFS scheduler.

Gonna re-flash and see if that fixes it.

Edit: my bad, the min/max are not inverted. And re flashing did not add smart ass gov it BFS scheduler.

I've been runnin this kernel for about 3 days now. Outta the 3 that are out, this is IMO the best.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Trewyy:
Probably turned off because you have 2% battery left so its in power saver. Just a guess, likely wrong.

Trewyy
[HTC Amaze 4G] phanompin23:
AGREED! faux kernel seems to be the most stable so far for the Amaze, but I still feel battery life all really depends on the user and what sort of crap you're doing on your phone all day. HAHA!

Thanks again to all the developers!
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
That is completely true. Each to his own I can set lag free lazy badass and undervolt
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
Fantastic kernel faux! I'm running it on nrgz 6/21 stock and its been far more smooth with almost 2x the battery life
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Are both your cpu's allways on? I am running the same setup and mine are. But I guess if battery life is still good, who cares.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
I did this except I just commented those lines out using # this way if I ever need to change it back I can just delete the comment out.

Thanks for this btw was trying to figure out how to do it just haven't had the chance to search, and just reading the posts here lead me to your post.

It work perfect for me as well, but I wipe cache & dalvik before flashing faux kernel.

[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Faux probably has better things to do than confirm something we have all said multiple times, something that is common knowledge. It is a feature of the program, go check the thread for that program rather than bother faux.

I'm getting tired of noobs who constantly question the information they are being given, go TRY rather than fill up random threads with your unwarranted doubts.

[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
Can't really say just yet, I flashed it last night, UV'd and calibrated battery after a full charge this morning. Have to give it a few days to go through some charge cycles and let it settle in to know for sure. So far drain us minimal with my normal use.

[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
I also wiped cache, and dalvic. I didn't mention it cause I thought that was the way is always done. When you flash a kernel you wipe cache and dalvic.:)
[HTC Amaze 4G] icepixie:
Hm a bit off topic, but how did you get the CPU info to show up in the notification bar? I think it's in Energy ROM's tweaks? I seen it before but can't seem to find that setting anymore! :o
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
No, my 2nd core only turns on during heavy processes

It's in energy tweaks, status bar, carrier label.

I downloaded multiple times and keep getting the same error and I am wiping cache and dalvik.... any ideas anyone?
[HTC Amaze 4G] kozmikkick:
You have to be unlocked and have already flashed an insecure boot.IMG
[HTC Amaze 4G] theinitial21:
well i am unlocked but i guess its the insecure boot.img part. where can i get one?

Don't know if it has to do with this kernel or not but since I installed it I can't buy anything from playstore. Anyone else have this problem.?
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
I have had this problem with other ROM/kernels so it's probably not kernel related. Try wiping data on Google play store and Google services framework in settings/apps and rebooting that should fix it.

[HTC Amaze 4G] galsalah:
Go to system-apps-all apps, scroll down to google play store and clear app cache then clear data....that's should solve your problem.

someone got a free "thanks" out of me... haha... anyways... was wondering if any other governors are available to be added? would really like to play with smartassv2 or in of the "x" govs... or proper badass even... badass doesn't seem to work right at all with koz's kernel... not sure why I just had absolutely horrible drain with it no matter what I did...

this one seems to be pretty good with ondemand tweaked 192min 2nd core ceiling @ 918Mhz first core @ 1.2Ghz... going to add OC/UV beater to the mix and see if I can get a little more out of it with a screen off profile...

[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
?? It's supposed to be version 009 if your on ics lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Ahhhh ...... thejrp is correct, the ICS Kernel is: ruby-faux123-kernel-v004.zip
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Lets assume that was a typo or his phone wouldn't be working.

Just an fyi for anyone - the latest versions of the kernel supports the "CPU states", meaning apps like cpuspy now work again.. being able to see how long your CPU is running at different clock speeds and deep sleep will allow many of us to tweak our phones that much more. Thanks faux, I've missed this since your gingerbread kernels!
[HTC Amaze 4G] theinitial21:
ok, which is the latest version? i see people saying 009, then when i click on the Amaze ICS kernal hyperlink, it shows 004 and yesterday that exact hyperlink was 002, so now im confused....
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbcal:
Latest ICS is version 004. The GB kernel version is 009.

HTC Amaze hardware has grown on me, I am using it as my daily phone.... I believe this is the best PHONE of the previous generation of Android Hardware :D (Yeah, this phone is now considered 1 Gen behind :p )

Also ICS kernel is WAY WAY more stable than GB kernel. Although I never experience random reboots before with my older GB kernel, many of you for some reason have issues with random reboots on GB.

I am quite happy with Amaze right now...
[HTC Amaze 4G] jwds1978:
I don't think that you're alone there. ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Thats nice to hear faux, thank you for your supoort here :D:D:D

Btw, faux, is it possible for you to build an aosp kernel?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jvx333:
So yesterdays release is a new kernel? Or sameone
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Congratulations :D great kernel so far your miles a head of me as a kernel dev lol but once I fix that nasty GSM bug in AOSP development will sure take off on the Rom side
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I'm actually wondering all of the same things, somehow it is bypassing that init.post_boot.sh file.. I really liked being able to control both CPU speeds independently and without yet another app running, but unless I run some CPU app it defaults to the over clocked speeds.. actually I'm wondering all of the same things as you, you hit the nail on the head.
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
Thanks.. Greatly appreciated! :good:

You script looks good.. I didn't find any errors on it.

As far as the max frequency limit issue.... I will take a look at it... Most recent ICS kernels from Qualcomm are quite nice and battery efficient even running @ max OC frequencies, so I haven't really pay much attention to it.

so far I have averaged over 22 hours of usage and that's damn good considering how often I listen to music/FM and browse ;) All this is done on STOCK battery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
How much screen on do you have with that usage? And are you using stock rom? The amaze is a very solid phone, and no other phone beats it spec wise, so it is good to hear yet another happy user :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
I am using 100% stock RUU from the latest Official Tmobile ICS.

My typical usage includes 30min~1h of voice call, 1~2 hours of music/FM and approximately 2 hours of screen time (auto brightness). I would get aprox 17~22 hours of use from that..
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Faux, could you include smartass and other governors in future releases, unless its already in 004?
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
SmartAss is not optimized for Qualcomm dualcore. Zero chance of it being included.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
its optimized for single core devices correct?

[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
USB Fast Charge. How does it work? I always see 90ma being drawn from the windows usb information. I tried echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge. Same thing.

Edit: I think I see 500ma now. It seems to do it regardless of force_fast_charge setting.
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
It only works with chargers that are MIS-IDENTIFIED as USB chargers instead of AC chargers (ie, many cheap chargers). It WON'T increase charging time if the Original USB source is limited.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Mhm didnt know that about smartass, but faux can you build an aosp kernel?
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
I think I know what you mean. Those wall chargers without the center data pins shorted, but actually providing >500ma.
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Hey faux, I was wondering. I am using your kernel with Energy stock look Rom, but am thinking of going back to completely stock. My problem is, if I do that I can't flash your kernel correct, since stock has a secured boot img? I remember with your sensation kernel you had a first time kernel reset which unsecured it so it would flash. I notice you mention the first time kernel reset in the op, but I don't see them. So My question is. Is there a first time kernel reset for the Amaze?
[HTC Amaze 4G] derride8:
Faux.

What governor r u using?
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Well I tried again. This time I just put # in front of those lines as someone suggested. Now CPU 1 goes offline. And is not rebooting. Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:

[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
I assume your on WiFi all the time to get 22hrs?
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
I always have WiFi and BT enabled regardless... so at home I will be using wifi exclusively, but when I go out or at work, I would be on 4G networks... so it's a mixture of Wifi and 4G, but I don't bother to turn them off even at work.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
I was having great battery life on 002. I upgraded to 004 and now my battery life seems to be horrible. I dropped 60% battery in 6 hours with only maybe 30 minutes of screen on time.

I run GSam Battery Monitor and it seems that it thinks my radio is at the lowest signal. In the area in currently in I have full bars of 4G. I don't know why this could be but have attached a picture. Let me know if there is anything I could try to remedy this.

Btw I am under clocked to 1.18 - 384. Also the attached picture says about 20 minutes but that is because I restarted the phone to try and fix this issue.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, when the phone is sleeping and I go to pick it up, it is warm to the touch. I'm running Energy ROM.

[HTC Amaze 4G] krook6023:
Yeap 1720 has been stable and I have no issues whatsoever. :cool: Any chance you would chime in on the other questions in my post? :fingers-crossed:

Is WiFi built differently in your ICS kernel or does it have the same downside as the GB kernel? (i.e. breaks some tweaks and optimizations)

Any chance we could see additional governors? (i.e. Intellidemand)

What about adding additional i/o schedulers? (i.e. SIO, V(R), BFS)
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
wondering and hoping the same

Good question since you need a insecure kernel I thought.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
has already been answered... built in differently than koz's but not from source, I don't see why it would break tweaks optimizations... I haven't noticed any adverse effects to wifi what-so-ever...

ditto this... smartassv2, any of the X govs... and sio would be nice =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Blastoid! You noob lol earlier he said zero chance for smartass bc something something Idk lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
I believe he said certain gov's were not optimized for ICS, therefore faux will not include them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
the code needs to be updated... doesn't mean it's impossible... just means not likely at the moment... I get that, but I also want the interest to be shown so that in the future if it is available it isn't forgotten =)

Sometimes a post doesn't get read , and you need to ask again. That's all I'm saying. I asked earlier about a first time kernel reset for ics.

Updated to 005. Use Xboarder's Easy Kernel Flasher aka (EKF) version 3. All new kernel zip files will be packaged this way since we are tethered to PC to update anyways.
