playing GTA III a bit, and it's really smooth with this kernel :)
[HTC Sensation] mbatson:
I know it's still relatively early but what are people's perceptions of battery vs stock ICS?

I flashed this 3 hours ago so far to early for me to pass any judgement but performance is definitely a marked improvement.
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Flashed it yesterday and on the whole I don't see any difference battery wise. If it is there than it's not enough to notice.

@drms12 : I think PaulGiz didn't like the way you formulated your request. It wasn't very polite in his opinion.

About 3D performance of ICS - on the whole it's faster @1.5Ghz than it was under android 2.3.5 @1.7Ghz (with GPU@320) so I'm more than happy with it.
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
And I don't think the way he was replied to my post was polite either.

Paulgiz, If you don't want to help, don't. Like you said, This is community. Nobody force you to help. Save your opinions to yourself.
[HTC Sensation] jonahtriangle:
I got a 47.5 with forced gpu. ( hey he said please) hehe.
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
It's ok I've got my answer.

magic_man said earlier "With this kernel the gpu seems to slowdown. Using nenamark I was getting scores in 43 fps range with stock kernel. With this kernel I am getting 32.7 fps, but all the other things seem faster."

I just wanted to know if it's collective problem or just for him before I move to ICS base for the first time.

Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] :
Nena2 43.7 fps

Thanks for the great kernal!
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
In the NenaMark2 v2.0 I have identical results (36.4 fps, 36.6 fps) on stock ICS 1.2 GHz kernel and 1.5 GHz, stock HTC ICS. It looks like NenaMark2 doesn't stress CPU too much. Results aren't too high because GPU isn't overclocked (without source code it could be difficult).
[HTC Sensation] pirlano:
i'm finishing many bench, i'll post results this evening or tomorrow :)

@SebastianFM: i know that max frequency cap for cpu was just a value after sensation model check, i think not so many difficult to hex edit, is not the same for gpu?

maybe you can compile and compare assembly difference beetween original Sensation 2.6.35 kernel and the one with XE gpu freq mod only. Than assembly code should be very similar in the 3.0 kernel :)
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
I think there is something wrong with your current installation. You should get at least 45fps with nenamark 2, even with stock kernel. And it should affects gaming performance also.
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
I checked this and really it looks like I could be able to change GPU frequency.

I already changed kernel from HTC Sensation ROM 2.08.401.1 Sense 3.5 (it contains XE frequencies) and I'm testing it now.
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Now that would be just glorious :)
[HTC Sensation] pirlano:
:D :D :D :D
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
Here is the battery statistics for first 6 hours
[HTC Sensation] pirlano:
with virtuous 1.4.2 and this kernek :D
[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:
47.2fps on Nenamark2, forced GPU not active.
[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:
46.6fps with forced gpu rendering active.

So if you're only getting mid 30s, we can safely say that the issue is with your phone, not this kernel.
[HTC Sensation] liamstears:
I have already pm seb about it, no reply yet but hope to hear something soon...
[HTC Sensation] Sebby:
i hope this is really kernel related

i hate it when it does that
[HTC Sensation] liamstears:
Yes it is kernel related as far as we can tell, just depends if seb has time to look and if he can fix it, also I am wondering if it has something to do with the battery you are using as some people say they dont get this error, which battery do you use?
[HTC Sensation] dreamado:
hi

I have The Sensation XE with the latest InsertCoin Sense 4 Beta5, can i flashing this Kernel w/out Problems?

Or better dont flash?

many thanks
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
seb could you add sio scheduler in next release ??

thx
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
thanks for the kernel

look at this, running OC'ed ofcourse

i did run on stock speed and got 106k browsermark and 3670 antutu.

cm9 btw :) props to them too
[HTC Sensation] ObiWan_C:
Hey Sabastian,

Can you please post the cifs, md4 and utf8 modules for the new kernel?

The old ones do not work with your new kernel.
[HTC Sensation] hlenforcer:
Glad to see that you are building now kernels from source, especially in terms of kernel development competition is really needed :)

cause you are basing your work on HTC source, how about setting up a GIT or Gcode account to document and share your great work to the community. With the multitouch fix you already fixed a very critical kernel bug the other kernel devs would like to fix also.

in best regards, hle :D
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
how did you get over 4000 quadtant

i only get this when i use setcpu or force second core online all the time !
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Im afraid that multitouch bug still present in new kernel release. I am able to reproduce it the same way as in the frenchaddict youtube video. Shadowgun and mc3 still unplayable :(

Keep up the good work sebastian. Thanks for the kernel :D
[HTC Sensation] hlenforcer:
ok then i will flahs this kernel now and test it also!
[HTC Sensation] socali:
MultiTouch Fixed with Sebsatian v1.30.1 1512 MHz

I just flashed Sebastian v1.30.1 1512 MHz and confirmed using both "MultiTouch Tester" and "MultiTouch Visualizer 2" apps that the MultiTouch issue report with HTC's 3.32 original kernel is resolved. (MultiTouch Tester seem to work better, but both show issue no longer exists)

I don't think it's a panel dependent, but mine is Acer.

I'm running 3.32 firmware and VI 4.0.0 rom with my posted fixes.
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
Was the multitouch bug that easy to fix? You released the new kernels seriously fast!
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
downloaded 1836MHz kernel, after boot benchmarked on that speed.

no forcing things online

with latest kernel i get 3800quadrant on 1512mhz

the multitouch (1finger holding button, 2nd finger clicking "switch" bug) is fixed for me.

make a logcat :)
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
The multi touch bug was solved but after an hour it happens again. The first touch point just disappear
[HTC Sensation] mzebrowski13:
It's a screen from multitouch test with the new kernel. I think that it's all right
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I dont have the switching bug. Try 1 finger holding and double tap with a second one, for me the second tap get stuck for 2 or 3 secs after stopped touching the screen.

I dont think a logcat will be useful because it will report the input no matter if the finger is pressing the screen or not.

A video should help, guess i will do it
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
just tested it and i see what u mean, if you press twice fast the buttons stays longer then it should i can reproduce this

but the multitouch bug SebastianFM was talking about was far more serious then this one, with the other bug you could not game at all now u can.
[HTC Sensation] hlenforcer:
Indeed, sadly i also have to approve that the multitouch bug remains (kernel version 1.30.1 @ 1,62ghz on virt inquisition 4)
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
i think this is more to do with the rom you are using, virtuous inquisition is known to have a pretty extreme multitouch issue.

works perfect on insert coin and android revolution. these were the only two i tested the new kernel on. both latest versions.
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
http://youtu.be/30ogIc_Yib0

this one was fixed,

state the one you are talking about else its getting confusing, do u mean the one now with double tapping then 2nd touch releasing second later?
[HTC Sensation] M pro:
Holy hell!!
[HTC Sensation] chifteur:
For me all work well. Thx dev... :thumbup:
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Is anyone else's phone getting really hot and the CPU frequency sticking at max?

Using System Panel and System Tuner to watch my CPU stats and it stays on 1.728 GHz constantly....could be a bad a download/flash, will try again and update this post.

EDIT: reflashed and problem went away :)
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
sound like your gov is off. Should be at 1.7 all the time, only on full load. Are you on performance gov? Do you have both CPUs forced online?

Seb, do we need an additional script to enable zram? is it similar to the GB script? Thanks again for your work!
[HTC Sensation] Master_Ellis:
Hell Yea! Thanks SebastianFM!

Wipe Cache Partition/Wipe Dalvik & Flash Zip File if you're using Clockwork (Rom Manager) right?
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
Chance you will be released your source for this? It is more than a hex code edit now
[HTC Sensation] M pro:
I have both Cpu's on at 1.78ghz on ondemand gov and my phone stays cool unless I'm testing it out benchmarking then it will heat up :-)
[HTC Sensation] christop911:
Hey socali in what rom your test???
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
Modules cifs and md4 are built-in.

I fixed it before source code was released. :)

People who still have this issue please check few things for me:

adb shell cat /sys/android_touch/vendor
adb shell cat /sys/android_touch/htc_event

I don't know, maybe it is touchscreen version related, my is CY8CTMA340_x000C_00, htc_event = 0.

Of course, I don't want to break GPL rules. :)
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
Glad your one of the honest people that follows all source rulings xD
[HTC Sensation] hlenforcer:
yep, but if ppl state that my used rom is known to have multitouch issues it is not a good base to test hehe. did not know that.

anyway i hope sebastianFM will read my call for sharing some source with the community and keep GPL compliant :)

edit: oh he will, i read to slow, great!
[HTC Sensation] M pro:
A little more testing

I'm liking this :)
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Touchscreen version: CY8CTMA349_x000A_30

[HTC Sensation] drakexpl:
Hello Sebastian, is there any chance to fix h/w container which is used for 720/1080p playback? Do you know about this issue? Is this kernel related?

Wysłane z mojego HTC Sensation za pomocą Tapatalk
[HTC Sensation] bduvel:
indeed does not happen on opensensation cm9, even joaquins problem from few pages back does not happen atm for me.

so all multitouches bugs are fixed here
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
The real way to test is to play modern combat 3, game requires two fingers on the screen the whole time. But other than that, I can tell this kernel is flying. I really want to see more what you could now that the source is out.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] gefilus:
I have now touch problem. Playing gta 3 pressing 1 finger on screen and if i put oher finger on screen , it lost a touch with first finger
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
"where is kernel source ....... @vorbeth @xda-developers GPL" - @TripnRaver

Gotta love it when someone who has NEVER followed the GPL decides to cry and complain when someone else doesn't. The ultimate in irony.

Appreciate your work, Seb. Your hexed kernels were awesome until we had proper source and I'm excited to play with the new kernels now that source is available. Keep it up the awesome work, and ignore the downers! :)
[HTC Sensation] cozmer:
did anyone try new Sebastians kernels with Sense 4 roms? like baad's or so?

Or may be Sebastian can tell if they should work fine with sense 4 roms?
[HTC Sensation] mox123:
thanks

seb this kernel is awesome thanks (ive hit the thanks button)

CY8CTMA340_x000C_00

htc_event = 0

Multitouch problem present on HyperNonSense 1.5

Firmware 3.32

Kernel 1.30.1 (1512 MHz)
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Will these kernels work now on stock ICS rom, updated OTA? V1.20 didn't work on the stock rom, when trying to flash i got status 7 error.
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
I'm assuming you're running the stock ota kernel, which means you have to flash a full boot.img of a different custom kernel. Not sure where to find one.
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
Wow. Using the 1,5 Ghz kernel and it's amazing! Definitely some improvements.

46,6 fps @ Nenamark2.

Also, the multi-touch bug is fixed (:
[HTC Sensation] Dai323:
I'm getting a boot loop when flashing newest kernel on Virtuous. Tried 3 times and no luck. Went back to 1.10 and it works fine.

Any ideas why I'm getting the boot loop?
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Would the "bricked" kernel work? So if i flash a custom kernel i will be able to flash this one afterwords?
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
SebastianFM, many many many thanks for your new kernel!!

Especially for your efforts about multitouch!

As some said before, for me, input never swap anymore, absolutly never! :D

But the second input tends to stick, more easily than before, and a little less longer, up to 3 seconds sometimes.

I hope it's a question about finding the right mix to avoid swapping while avoiding sticky input too.

One thing is sure, you're on the right way to fix this HTC-made bug, and beside multitouch, the kernel is fast and stable!

(I'm not at home to use adb, I know my pannel is an Acer one)

Once more: many thanks from gamers to you !
[HTC Sensation] iJohnny:
I have bootloop with new version.

ARHD 6.5.1

It was ok for about 15 min, then bootloop started. I had to reflash rom.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I agree with you. Sebastian is definitely in the right way to solve this. Some things just take more time to be fixed.

Atm kernel is fast and stable for me @1.5 GHz. Will report later about the batt life

Good job sebastian
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Hi Sebastian. Just wanted to report that 1.30.1 kernel (I tried with 1512mhz version) kills the animations in Sense 4 rom(Virtuous S4V alpha 3).
[HTC Sensation] Tungst5n:
seem to be getting consistent bootlooping with v1.3 of this kernel when coupled with the MIUI.us v4 for the sensation. anyone confirm?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Just letting you know that the touchscreen issue has gone for me when using one of the 1.30 kernels, and I'm using virtuous inquisition 4.0.0 too, it definitely isn't a ROM issue for whoever suggested it.
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
You said you tried with an emulator.. Have you tried to use a multitouch tester?
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
I quess that you choose 1836 MHz variant. Not every device can handle this frequency, try to start with 1512 MHz.

I'll try to fix multitouch definitely but I can't promise anything. I don't know for sure what messages should be sent from kernel to HTC ROM. My work is based on the drivers from HTC kernel 2.6.35.14 touchscreen drivers but HTC ICS requires different data. Besides it looks like AOSP ICS isn't compatible with HTC ICS. Issue with sticky second input occurs on the stock kernel with the same frequency for me, always when I don't change position of first touch.

Please understand that it is kernel based on HTC source code designed to work with HTC Sense 3.6 ROM. Currently if stock kernel 3.0.16-gda3fdfc causes bootloops or isn't stable with custom ROM don't try to flash my kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Nekromantik:
Any issues on arhd 6.3.1?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
How many games to you play on a multitouch tester? Try it in games since that's when you'd experience the issue.
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
Mm you are right, but if issue xist, you can see it with a tester

I'm trying samurai vengence2 and my touch keept pressed in the left-down corner, making control impossible

Don't know if is game related or what

But please test with a tester, if you got issue, but ingame is all ok, i'm happy
[HTC Sensation] liamstears:
You haven't replied about battery % issues :-(
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Same thing happened to with Samurai Vengeance as well.

Tried Inquisition and OpenSensation build 2 with the new kernel and no luck for me on the multi touch with either.
[HTC Sensation] daddyspud:
I played a few games shadow gun n whe let go of the movement control it would always stick to the left until I pressed fire ap I've reverted bk to older 1.20 kernel as its still early days

xxx Best Things Come To Those Who Wait xxx
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
I can't do everyhing at the same time. Currently I don't know anything about battery drivers and unfotunatelly I can't help.
[HTC Sensation] squeeish:
Much better than v1.20 for my phone on Virtuous Inquisition v4! Thanks SebastianFM
[HTC Sensation] OhioDroid80:
Smooth as budda here. Thank you so much sir.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I have also tried with a tester, and seen no issues. Just tried shadowgun and samurai vengeance and they do both stick to the bottom left corner like you say, but that doesn't happen in the tester or any other games I have, so I'd put that down to the developer of those games needing to fix a bug with their apps. Incompatible with the new kernel. Note they're both by the same developer, with the same issue. I don't have many more games to try, but I've not noticed it in anything else yet and like I say it doesn't show up in the tester.
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
Ok thanks, remains the fact that you got no issue with a tester, so my, togheter woth other peopel, is, hopefully, rom related

I will try a sense rom and see what happens
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
It's not ROM related at all, I'm on the same ROM as you!
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
Ok and so what related? Soon i'll try a new rom and report
[HTC Sensation] OllieArmageddon:
Hi Sebastian, could you please release a kernel with clock up to 1950mhz, I run 1836mhz daily because I oddly get better battery life as second core doesn't switch on as frequent, I think my phone can handle, I know it will get hot, it did at 1200mhz stock, so not worried about that, i'd dare you to release a 2ghz one, and ill strap an ice pack to my phone lol, any way good work mate!
[HTC Sensation] merwin:
Kudos for the kernel! You rock :)
[HTC Sensation] daddyspud:
Does any one have the stock kernel lying around for sense 3.6 final release or release before any one will do

Reason why asking when flashing different kernel some times flashing another oc / uv or modded kernal on top of a different modded Oc/uv kernel it can leave some traces behind so flashing stock reboot n then flash New oc/uv kernel u know ur getting a clean install

Hope this little description helps any one at any point

Where is the source code for this?? GPL complience??????

Everyone bugs HTC for it then keeps their fixes close to them, blatant GPL abuse
[HTC Sensation] kittykat858:
my RLS1 kernel is 100 % STOCK htc..

source is at htcdev.com

like i said - 100% stock

I looked on ur web site in ur Sig n couldn't see it

cool cheers dude I'm happy chap

Shadowgun is completely unplayable with the new kernel. Much worse than before

Check out the video:

http://youtu.be/WkG3DNBqcek
[HTC Sensation] mox123:
shadow gun is UNPLAYABLE SAME AS JOAQUINFS video http://youtu.be/WkG3DNBqcek

i dont know whats going on but the touch screen is all over the place and the joystick on screen moves about all by itself without me even touching the phone,

im flashing 1.20 back, new firmware is flawed bigtime
[HTC Sensation] daddyspud:
All the issue u just shown on the game are the issue I had hence i revert bk to 1.20 until more testing n improvement have been made

But please remember ics kernel source released only 24 hours ago will take a week or 2 get stable reliable kernels

xxx Best Things Come To Those Who Wait xxx
[HTC Sensation] mox123:
ive went back to 1.20 firmware as shadowgun is unplayable , im having issues with other games, problems are gone on 1.20,
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Thanks, i know devs havent had enough time to play with the source. This is just a lil feedback.

Although im having this issues with games i still keep the 1.3 version and will see how it goes for a couple of charging cycles. So far the work made is great, kernel is smooth and fast.

Thanks again sebastian
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
Also gnu rules which doesn't allow a period of any length to release source.

So Seb where's your source?
[HTC Sensation] kabuki05:
same problem... :S
[HTC Sensation] V1ViD:
Can we not run Seb away like you guys did with asking chad.goodman for source? Give him some time.
[HTC Sensation] kittykat858:
at the risk of being flammed im gonna step in here....

i posted a 100% stock kernel as a test to see if it would even boot, because sometimes HTC source does not boot as is... I do not own a sensation to test on, so I uploaded it for you all to test.

threats of reporting me for gpl issues were made, post for gpl compliance were made on my thread, 500+ emails accusing me of kanging showp1984 were sent. hell, even when i had kernels on XDA with a GIT REPO people still reported me...

the source for a 100% stock kernel is at htcdev.com - and its 100% stock, i kanged no one. I didnt even kang HTC because credit was given - to define kang is to use someone else work and claim it as your own... NEVER have i done this, even when i was attacked by other RDs and XDA members.

i also spoke personally w/ showp1984, and i believe he has nothing to do with the emails being sent to me that contain his name.

all the people who are sending the messages of hate, etc.. are doing is making a innocent man look bad... is that fair or right?? do you think SHOWP1984 wants you to destroy his name?????

as far as your statement "Also gnu rules which doesn't allow a period of any length to release source."

you are correct BUT they do not specify a time frame for which source is provided.

I would love to see this source for this kernel (mainly for multitouch fix, cause i do no own the device to test with), but im not gonna troll the OP for it - as far as the public is concerned, i will make 1 post and move in UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE AS ALREADY POSTED ASKING FOR SOURCE..THEN I DO NOTHING. and the 40+ posts for source here.. how many of you actually did things the CORRECT way and report the post? or PM the developer??? ... or both???

if there is 1 public post requesting source, i personally dont see what 39 additional posts are gonna do but make this developer leave xda.

just my 2 cents - feel to report me as a troll or what ever now... it what everyone makes threats to do anyway - im kinda used to it.
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
The same happened even to Faux a few months back. Everyone pestering for his GB kernel source so they could "learn" and become kernel devs themselves. BS. Nothing came of that except Faux got pissed off and his thread got rolled back for a few weeks.
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
Shadowgun is really good game to test multitouch. This is my second attempt to fix multitouch. Also I changed some code for compatibility with AOSP Virtuous Inquisition. I hope that it will be working. This is only test kernel, if everything will be fine I'll prepare variants with higher CPU frequency. test

I told that I release source code and I'll do it. Why the people are so impatient?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Thanks will try. Any further details of the test? Md5?

Thanks for you effort and listen to the feedback.
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
By all means, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was demanding it. Just stating the rules but I do respect the work that Seb has done with this kernel and I will wait patiently for when he has more time to make his source public.

Keep up the good work Seb
[HTC Sensation] Dano79:
Bunch of school yard snitches if you ask me why to go guys go flash a sense rom laggards good job Seb. your kernel works great
