[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
So just to confirm what I garnered from your statement: both cores are OCed and active in normal usage and will ramp up to the max frequency in apps such as 3D games, etc but in benchmarks there is an issue with HTCs code that limits the device to one active core at 1.7ghz? Is this accurate?
[HTC Rezound] SebastianFM:
Not exactly. When AnTuTu Benchmark is running, mpdecision enable second core and sets max frequency for both cores, probably to avoid frequency changes while benchmarking and to achieve highest scores. It would be okay, but mpdecision causes CPU frequency increase without CPU and memory voltage adjustments. I don't know if this bug occurs when running other apps or games.

I reported it to HTC.
[HTC Rezound] ViperPyro:
I just installed this kernel on De-sensed-ish and ran Antutu. With only using Antutu to set min and max to 1728 and ondemand governor, I got 4954 (used to get ~5500).

I then tried the mpdecision code mentioned by Sebastian and got 5660.

I then disable his code and reran it and got 5367. ANtutu also reported my CPU frequency as 1134, soooo.... not sure what all this means. It is still not even close to the 6200 mentioned by someone earlier who did not use Sebastian's adb code.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I have ran this 4 times , first 3 were using performance setting in system tuner and got a

6054

5751

5064

Tried it once last time with on demand and both min and max set at 1700 and got a 6211 or something like that. I just called it a day and realized that it didn't matter what the actual numbers are the kernel seems to run just fine . Haven't had any hiccups , slightly worse battery life compared to the stock kernel , but even then my standard stock battery gets chewed up regardless and that is with mostly just browsing this site or the internet in general.

Extended battery does much better, but I got an otterbox case so I chose protection over battery life so far.
[HTC Rezound] GreenXSniper:
2 quick questions, How is the battery life on this? and how would i go about flashing this in fastboot, just extract the abootimg and rename it to boot.img? I'd be using the cleanflash tool so im not worried about the fastboot commands, just what file to push.
[HTC Rezound] SebastianFM:
If someone could send me a dumped /sys directory (command: adb shell ls -l -R > sys.txt) from this kernel. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
We all know the performance increase is there regardless of the benchmark scores. Don't see why some people are so gung ho about benches.
[HTC Rezound] miatamx:
test

I ran this test for myself just to see what everyone was talking about. Clocked at 468/1728 using rom toolbox. I'm on joelz's rom. I did notice that if power saver comes on it resets the clock speed to 1300 something. I was on a fully charged battery and powersaver turned off. Is there a chance that during the test powersaver is coming on for some and reducing the clock speed and it not showing up during the test? This is just a guess.:confused:
[HTC Rezound] Doddzilla:
Mine from yesterday after installing this kernel.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Yeah, this kernel is smooooth. :D My scores from a minute ago...
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
I don't know how people are getting these scores - mine cap out at 6.2 or 6.3k, but regardless the kernel is stable and does seem faster in real world usage. Sebastian, will there be any further updates to the kernel prior to the source code being released?
[HTC Rezound] ViperPyro:
Well of course, but we also want to know if some of us are missing something if others somehow are getting 40% higher scores (5k vs 7.2k). I know there is variance, but that sounds like a bit much. Meh, the phone is still very fast!
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
Yeah that's the boat I'm in. I typically get benches varying between 5-6k (just now got a 5663). I guess I'm just confused by the serious discrepancy. As I stated previously - my phone SEEMS to be faster in real world usage, but I am worried by the differences between devices.
[HTC Rezound] ViperPyro:
Just sent you mine. Quite large.
[HTC Rezound] miatamx:
Part of the descrepiancy is in the SD card speeds. If you look at mine 6902 and the 7000's this is the main difference. I don't know what precentage the SD card is in the total score but it does have an impact.
[HTC Rezound] Doddzilla:
Always use internal sd card on these benchmarks. It makes us all even
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
Me too - I doubt my external would score any better. 32 GB class 10 cards are unreliable at best.
[HTC Rezound] DasSmurf:
The link seems to be down. Can someone point me to a mirror or some such business? (for the actual kernel)
[HTC Rezound] racinwarrior:
thats what she said
[HTC Rezound] SteveDusa:
Okay suppose I try this again...

Fully wiped data/system/cache/d-cache TWICE, flashed the ROM (Deus 1.0.2), then this kernel in HBoot, wifi problem still exist. Flash back to the kernel that came with the ROM and the wifi problem goes away.

Anyone experiencing this?
[HTC Rezound] james_pnut:
Did you flash the zip first through recovery then the boot img through hboot? The zip for the kernel I mean cuz it sounds like your missing the modules
[HTC Rezound] SteveDusa:
That's what I mean. Flashed in recovery then it goes to HBoot for update.

Still no go. Wifi is broken.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I don't think you need to wipe the system or data...I only wipe the cache & dalvik when flashing a kernel.
[HTC Rezound] SteveDusa:
I know, but just to be safe as I heard from someone said to flash it PRIOR to first boot into the new ROM.

Been playing all afternoon, that Wifi simply refuses to work with this kernel. DARN IT D:<
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Try it with only wiping cache and dalvik cache. I don't see any reason why WiFi would not work for only you...unless it was a crap download. Hope it works out cuz this thing flys :P
[HTC Rezound] SteveDusa:
Which ROM are you running? I'll redownload it again and see if it helps.

Gotta redo the MainVer thing first...
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
What I did was go into /system/bin and manually searched for mpdecison and added .bak to the end. Rebooted and both cores are active, ran the bench and had no issues. Then to revert just go back in and delete .bak and you're gtg.

Edit: I personally detest quadrant but I know some people like to use it still.

Both scores were achieved on 1st run.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
My 7212 still beat you :D Isn't it nice to be able to show Gnex and Apple fanboys our badass scores??? :D :D :D

Oh, and thanks for the tip. That'll be better than having to do it through adb if my comp isn't around.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
No problem! What's funny is for Antutu I ran that without forced 2D acceleration derp. I went back and looked at the scores, pretty much the same except for the 2D graphics portion.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Nice numbers Zet...i take it leaving the mdprecision renamed will leave both cores on constantly and kill battery life?

I'm currently on Joelz SenseRedefined.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Mmm it's debatable.. I mean theoretically 2 cores having an equal workload running at a a lower clock speed is supposed to have less drain vs 1 core w/ a high work load. I mean I personally haven't tried leaving both cores on at all times because I don't feel its necessary. I really don't notice any performance differences in UI scrolling/load times with both cores firing away at all times. If there is any battery life impact, it should be very minimal. I mean it might give you some performance gains for UI etc/load times, but hell it's fast enough for me :cool:.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Yes, that is a nice tip thank you ! I will try that sometime . I hadn't wanted to mess around with turning it off and on, now it seems pretty quick and easy to do .

Actually, reran Antutu and got 6800 without doing that and a 6858 with doing it so doesn't seem much of a difference. Maybe, both cores are being forced online during the actual test itself regardless.
[HTC Rezound] taptaptouch:
To manually flash this through fastboot do we rename abootimg to boot.img? Im quite confused and I get the main ver problem if i let it auto flash
[HTC Rezound] JohnShaft69:
zetsumeikuro can you please post rom version,overclock prog, any settings you may have changed from default in order to get the performance you have posted.. i cannot even get CLOSE to these numbers...
[HTC Rezound] DasSmurf:
I'm seeing a huge boost on newtoroots senseless ROM. My antutu scores have gone up by about 700 and games are smoother. Battery drains a little bit faster, but that's to be expected (I am oc'ing to 1788). But it's fine because I always carry a backup battery.

great kernel overall
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I don't use anything. When it comes to it some people have no problems with benches, while some do. You're getting the performance benefits of the kernel regardless of what score you obtain. In the end this is a problem that HTC has to address.
[HTC Rezound] GreenXSniper:
I asked the same a while back but i never got the answer, I hope you do though.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Yes, change to boot.img, then flash in fastboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC Rezound] GreenXSniper:
Yessss thanks!
[HTC Rezound] ceryus:
Enabling both cores?

Hi Guys,

I just cant get a score higher than 5900 in Antutu..I've tried disabling mpdecision through ADB and through the terminal emulator on the phone itself and than set the min clock speed to 1728 on CPU master.. but that brings my score down even lower to 4590?:confused:

Any suggestions what to do? Its 5:30am where I am and I still haven't figured this damn thing out.. Its driving me up the wall :mad:

Also,Can someone tell me how to enable the cpu1 core manually?

Thanks..
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
Benchmarks are mostly BS. I saw somewhere that you have to echo the value of 1 to /sys/devices/system/spu/cpu1/online but it didn't work for me. You have to do it as root mind you.

Here's the full command string:

su

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

edit: just tried it via adb shell and it actually worked. Before I did it via Better Terminal Emulator Pro.
[HTC Rezound] ceryus:
Cheers mate..will try and post whether it works or not
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Truthfully, I was getting horrible scores but it was running just fine. Then like the second day for kicks I ran it again and got like a 6800 , didn't change a thing and now reliably I get in the mid 6500-6800.
[HTC Rezound] derickmc:
Im getting Mainver is older error in bootloader... How do I fix this?
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Open andriod-info.txt in the ph98img.zip file and change the mainver to the same version thats on your phone. Or that's in the last ph98img.zip file that you flashed.
[HTC Rezound] derickmc:
How do I find out my current mainver?

Im on joelz ics redefined rom with the 1.5 kernal
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Have you tried just downloading the 1.7 ph98img.zip from his download link? That should work if the 1.5 did.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/EVO_3D_Developers/Joel/Rezound/Redefined/

Or you can fastboot it. I don't know how you flashed the other stock clock kernel.
[HTC Rezound] derickmc:
Is that the same kernal asvthe one in this thread?
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Yes I believe it's exactly the same kernel.
[HTC Rezound] derickmc:
Oh. Thanks. Ill just do that then :)
[HTC Rezound] derickmc:
Still getting mainver is older.. so how do I find my current mainver?

Update on my "broken wifi" problem...

After reading on a few posts about the OTA updates, I realized that I unlocked my phone BEFORE applying the OTA update, this some stuff such as radio was never updated.

Now after relock, applied 2.01 RUU, unlock and flashed this kernel with an ICS ROM, it's working fine.

So yeah if you haven't updated your phone to the latest firmware, do so or you'll experience a lot of problems.

Oh yes, my Rezound is flying.

Thanks OP!
[HTC Rezound] ceryus:
Got it to work

Update: Tried it via adb shell/ Android terminal emulator but no go.. It tells me "

Cannot create /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1: No such file or directory"..

Just FYI, when I went to the CPU1 folder with Root browser there are 2 items in there...a folder called "cpuidle" and a file called "online"..

Any ideas? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong here??

edit: When I try to see what speed my CPU1 core is running on through adb shell with the following command " adb shell cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq", It tells me theres no such file or directory?? But when I do it for the cpu0 core it gives me the current clock speed:confused:..I just dont get this :mad:
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Thinking I did something wrong, flashed it in recovery and rebooted. It still only clocks up to 1500. Reflashing now.

Edit: fixed.
[HTC Rezound] SebastianFM:
You can't read frequency from disabled core. Use adb instead of Terminal Emulator to enable cpu1.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
use ls to list the contents of the current directory you are in (or provide it with a path) and go from there. You should append /online to your command string. As of right now you're echoing the value 1 to a directory and not a file.

Inside of /sys/devices/system/cpu/ there should be the folders cpu0, cpu1, cpufreq, and cpuidle.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Just go do the mainver fix.. So easy to do.

[HTC Rezound] :
Any plans on making a 1.7 ghz kernel for us GB users? :D
[HTC Rezound] champdr0id:
why would you want that? GB has kernels that go higher (1.83 ghz)

Sent from my Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] :
Because our phones don't play well above 1800 and so far every kernel I've tried keeps clocking itself to max freq, if the kernel is maxed at 1700 we wouldn't get that unstable spike to 1800 which means no more bootloops :D
[HTC Rezound] champdr0id:
you don't have to max out the kernel @ 1.8 ghz. Are you using any app that can control the clock speeds, like setcpu or antutu cpu master?

Sent from my Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] :
I've already tried several apps to control scaling with every OC'd kernel and it always seems to spike to 1.8 occasionally
[HTC Rezound] ae1990:
Set CPU and antutu CPU master only show me at max 1.5 ghz after flashing this kernel I did get the main ver error but my about phone screen shows that this is the current kernel could it be false info on that screen and still on the other kernel
[HTC Rezound] taptaptouch:
Pretty sure this and the stock kernel have the same info screen, try flashing the kernel manually through fastboot
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I have to say that this kernel kicks ass!

I am using in it my 4.0.3 ROM and people are eating it up!

Great job man!

Has anyone seen any news on weather or not we will be getting ics for our DROID 3? Not cm9 but the official. I poke around twitter and google but can't find anything new, its all outdated.
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
Motorola does not list the Droid 3 on any of their roadmaps...it is like they just forgot about the device.

I would not hold my breath but at this point there is no official response in ether direction.
[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
We are all waiting for Motorola to issue some updates... I think they are going to make the announcements all at the same time, of which phones will and won't make the upgrade.

D3 is in good shape though, it runs almost the same CPU and GPU as Galaxy Nexus, just has half the memory. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
[Motorola Droid 3] enigmaco:
I remember seeing somewhere that motorola is redoing their software update page on their website, I know they are working on it as we speak. I would hope that it's soon, I remember google saying that the updates should be quicker with ICS but saying and doing are two different things.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
Even if Moto and Verizon don't officially give ICS to the D3, you can bet that shortly after they release it for either the Razr or Bionic that it will be ported in it's "blurred" setup to the D3.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Keep in mind that if they don't release it for the Droid 3, the "ported" version based from those won't get the new kernel that those devices get along with their ICS upgrade...
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
If they release just one of the phones Hash supports for ICS with a camera, that is all we really need anyway.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Not if the app relies on the newer kernel that the upgrade will bring to the other devices...

[Motorola Droid 3] bitz_dv:
I wonder if they had to build their new blur before making the actual ICS builds for their phones.

Still I'm happy that they have at least acknowledged that the D3 might get updated to ICS maybe someday possibly a remote chance.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Interesting...the Motorola Razr is in "Development" status but the Droid Razr is still only "Evaluation and Planning" stage....

Verizon must be a big part of the problem....as even the 3G Xoom's are "Evaluation and Planning" while the WiFi Xoom already has it (and non-us WiFi are in Development).
[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
I noticed the same thing... It looks like for the first time Canada might be getting something quicker than the US... (At least in the RAZR ICS upgrade department).

All I care about is that the RAZR upgrade code leaks so that way we can get the cameras working within CM9, then maybe I'll jump ship from stock.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
that still really doesn't help as Hashcode has pointed out the dependencies the ICS camera has on the ION driver inside the ICS kernel....which are not present in the Gingerbread kernel that will still be running on the Droid 3 with CM9.

These dependencies won't go away on a Razr ICS camera....as the kernel will be getting updated along with the OS when they push it out.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I agree. All Verizon dual-core phones - even the Bionic, Razr series and D4 - are the same status. I think that Verizon's approval process and bloatware install requirements have become too unpredictable to allow for a definitive upgrade period.
[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
It wouldn't surprise me if a working ics blur rom existed at moto and was stable. The hurdle has always been verizon. I can't understand the forced bloat concept considering most users don't use it and will root now to rid themselves of it.

Rogers is terrible - I have a family plan (four phones on it) so any time we do an HUP, the contract period on ALL the phones gets reset. I have stopped buying locked in phones and am a year away from making them work to keep my business. I regret having left Telus when the iPhone was first released by Rogers in Canada.
