[HTC One X] kahei036:
I have been testing almost all kernels these days with ARHD6.0 and didn't find one satisfactory until franco release r5 today.

Below is my brief impression on some one x kernels repacked for ARHD 6.0:

Bricked: battery life is good, however s2w makes the phone quite unstable. it's a Cool feature though.

faux r5: battery drains a lot, didn't see much improvement in terms of user experience (this is objective, i do know in terms of code faux has done a lot, but as a user i just see the phone is just functioning as normal, silky smooth as it has been. battery really drains a lot)

Eternity 0.90: so far didn't find any problem, but nothing beats me as well. Battery drain is normal and it's quite smooth. But this morning I found the phone becoming laggy after I have open and close few application (which all are eating RAMs) that I suspect the RAM is still need to be optimised.

After testing above i turn out go back to ARHD's official kernel for a more stable performance, no fancy but no bull****.

This morning when I saw franco r5 and I flashed without repacking it, the result is impressive. The battery usage has improved a lot (I suspect it's due to the NVIDIA patches?) I bet it's about 10-15% difference. The phone is as smooth as it should be. I think I will stick with this these few days and see how it goes.

As said above is just objective impression, all developers works are respected and appreciated. And I must say I am a heavy user and lazy to make changes on phone to facilitate a better battery life. My screen takes around 60% of battery usage, Wifi/auto sync always on. Smartphone is here to help us I don't want to waste my effort to help it maintain juice by trading off some necessary functions.
[HTC One X] emmaair:
Ok Thanks!
[HTC One X] techmatlock:
Good review, thank you. I'm a heavy user too and want speed, stability, and battery life. I like to stick to stock as close as possible, but heavily optimized. Flashed r5 tonight so going to see how it goes, but also repacked using mike's ramdisk instead.

Also been using setcpu to control some of the frequencies which seems to be helping moderately. The kernel after being flashed takes a few days to settle into your phone from what I've read.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
franco for how long do you keep your devices usually, i usually approach two years

im asking because i dont want to get too attached to your kernel :D

amazing work mate, respect!

its pretty clear the cleanest kernel around

guys please stop asking for under volting, we should stick to whatever HTC set especially after the .11 update

Tegra3 is a SOC running at the maximum of its architectural limits there is not much room for over clocking or under volting, the device is hot as pancakes already, especially when you know that no two chips are created equal the risk of device damage and re-introducing flicker to many devices is high so best to stick with what is stable

now if T3 was made @28nm it would have been a different journey all together
[HTC One X] axl30:
I totally agree

I totally agree
[HTC One X] eyosen:
First some observations:

- with R4, Energy ROM runs much smoother with no obvious lagging. Energy May 13th version is based on .7

- WiFi reception seems to be much more stable with R4. With R5, connection drops frequently.

- Quadrant advanced failed to start its benchmarks a couple of times. Hitting Cancel doesn't help. Only after a reboot, it works again.

And some Quadrant Standard test results with no Frills and CoreControl 1.4 with governor set on demand:

Installed Franco's R5 boot.img:

No optimizations (Max CPU 1500, Min CPU 1500, Max 4 Cores, IOSch SIO):

3838

Optimizations (with Max CPU 1500, Min CPU 340, Max 2 Cores, IOSch noop):

3850

Modified R5 kernel to include Energy ROM May 13th ramdisk:

No optimizations (Max CPU 1500, Min CPU 1500, Max 4 Cores, IOSch SIO):

3886

Optimizations (with Max CPU 1500, Min CPU 340, Max 2 Cores, IOSch noop)

4106

Same tests with R4 and Energy ROM Ramdisk:

No Optimizations: 4816

Optimizations: 3876,4174

Some optimization (Max 4 Cores, noop, Min CPU 340): 4180-5274, average 4700

Some optimization (Max 4 Cores, sio, Min CPU 340): 3853,4068,4681,4793,5128

After seeing a bunch of Quadrant Standart results all over the place, I decided to test it with Advanced:

R4 Tests (with NRGZ28 ramdisk and Franco R4 kernel modules):

Max 4 Cores, sio, Min Cpu= Max CPU = 1500

SCORES: 4774, 4925, 4915,4700,4666

Max 4 Cores, noop, Min Cpu=Max CPU = 1500

SCORES: 4876, 4807, 4830, 4938, 4763, 4764

R5 Tests (original boot-r5.img with R5 kernel modules):

Max 4 Cores, sio, Min Cpu= Max CPU = 1500

SCORES: 3579,3654,3635

Max 4 Cores, noop, Min Cpu=Max CPU = 1500

SCORES: 4672,4643,4718,4706,4830

So back to R4 for me :-D
[HTC One X] listentochaos:
Heres r5 repacked for Leedroid 6.2 if anyone needs it.
[HTC One X] philippebla:
I tested the R5 on insertcoin , charmandar and everything works perfectly for my part,

good job
[HTC One X] lrbpereira:
Francisco, flashed r5 on Trip´s CM9 all whent perfect!

PT POWA!

EDIT: With r5 lost the lower CPU speed. The 51Mhz isn´t there anymore...
[HTC One X] -juanito-:
after i flashed this kernel..Multitask button will go to Menu button ??
[HTC One X] listentochaos:
No.
[HTC One X] Entreri:
Just installed r5 in ARHD 6.0.0 (didn't bother to repack for the ROM). Was booting up okay but then crashed immediately at the lockscreen, no idea why.

After another reboot, everything seems to be working fine, though.
[HTC One X] airchie:
Just flashed r5 to my HOX running jdroid exodised AOSP ROM and its all gone smoothly.

Seems more responsive and hoping for better battery life. :)

Thanks Franco! :)
[HTC One X] axl30:
someone has the boot.img with the ramdisk nrg?
[HTC One X] raubkatze:
Weird... My quadrant results are better:

R5, max 4 cores, noop, 1500/1500 - 5267

R5, max 4 cores, sio, 1500/1500 - 5448
[HTC One X] thierry94120:
I've tried r4 version: it was excellent. But with the r5 version, I've run Antutu 5 times, and the frequency max of the processor stays at 1400Mhz! The 1500 Mhz is not used, minus than 1% (and the min is, for me, 204Mhz). And the scores at Antutu and Quadrant are not so good.

for me too!
[HTC One X] listentochaos:
Test the kernel by using the phone

NOT

by using benchmarks.

Real world tests people!
[HTC One X] n3ocort3x:
can anyone test if gps work on r5 ?? since i flashed it in the morning i

)dont see sattelites

)cant connect to satellites

)no gps status in notification bar

anyone else experience this... ?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
1500mhz is single core mode only!
[HTC One X] nbicho:
Using IC with franco r5 no problems at all, even inside a building I acquire satellites

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] n3ocort3x:
Thanks for quick reply... i found the problem... i forget in a hurry in the morning to repack it...shame on me but thanks for testing..xD
[HTC One X] slvrarrow:
youd be stupid to chance back to r4 based on synthetic benchmarks, when it seems that its 700 odd points better in quadrant anyway because of the 18 nvidia made patches to tegra that are included in r5 vs r4/stock. theres also anew power saving patch for arm included
[HTC One X] :
every time i use your great kernel my screen go nuts and begin flickering so much!

i duno why!!! :(
[HTC One X] lrbpereira:
Francisco, can you get 51Mhz back!? Never had SOD issues, don´t understand why you kicked out that speed...

:) Please
[HTC One X] tommmtom:
From eternity project thread...
[HTC One X] putti71:
@Franco

Since this is a topic on ARHD thread, I would like to know what you think:

Is it better to repack r5 with Mike's boot image to run on ARHD or is it better to take your image as it is?
[HTC One X] frooss:
Could you help please, i try to flash the repacked for Leedroid 6.2.0 but it's stick on the sending boot...
[HTC One X] listentochaos:
I would also like to know this but with regards to Leedroid. What are we losing when we repack?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
mmm i think the stock .11 kernel has less yellow screen colors than the kernel source which all customs kernels are being based on
[HTC One X] Johnny0906:
I apologise if this question has been asked already.

Can you flash this kernel on stock rom?

Cheers
[HTC One X] GuyAdams:
Neither Franco's boot image or the repacked image would be perfect as with Franco's you lose mikes tweaks and with the repacked your lose Franco's tweaks.

No one will decide which is better for you so i suggest flashing one and using it for a few days then flash the other and compare.
[HTC One X] starbase64:
Hi,

r5 has brocken my internet connection (T-Mobile germany).

cheers

Am using r5 and my internet is working fine (O2 UK)
[HTC One X] hoangtu2410:
@franco : After finding the way to re-calibrate color of the screen, I read that you made a kernel for Galaxy Nexus with colorcontrol integrated (or something like that). I know i can not require you to do something for me but i still hope you can think about it, my HOX's warm screen is really too yellow for me (or somebody here :().

Thank you!
[HTC One X] Drefsab:
@franco is there any plan to add OTG support at some point to your kernel? The eternity one is supposed to have it but it doesnt seam to work at all.
[HTC One X] wolfraim:
You can only with 1.29.401.11 stock ruu, lower version result in bootloops i think, different ramdisk.
[HTC One X] slvrarrow:
Is there any way to force more aggressive/faster switching to the companion core whilst screen is on inparticular? For example, the brief moments you stop scrolling to read a webpage?
[HTC One X] kahei036:
IMO this will create more interrupt to the CPU and result in more batt drain and phone laggy...
[HTC One X] Johnny0906:
Stock RUU, so if I am on stock now out of the box can I flash it?

I am on the latest .11 firm.

Cheers
[HTC One X] eyosen:
Ditto... Problems with wifi connection dropping frequently is the main reason that I went back to R4.

As for the results, they are nothing but numbers. But some people find them useful. That's why I did all that.

As for why my numbers were lower, it may have something to do with the current Energy ROM being based on 401.7 and Franco's R5 on 401.11. The NVIDIA patches etc. do not have a counterpart in my ROM. This is just a guess though. Don't hold me accountable :p Just trying to give back.....

[HTC One X] Fruktsallad:
I'm on LeeDroid 5.1 too (coming from show-p1984's Bricked kernel). Flashed as per instructions, and everything's working swimmingly. Franco, your kernel is smoo-oooth! :D
[HTC One X] Lo_RaT_PeNaT:
yes, work perfect, tks for you franco :D
[HTC One X] fekle:
Hey franco,

Just downloaded the files, followed all instructions, (however, I've got experience with adb, fastboot and recovery, I'm not a noob :P),

Although I did everything like everytime, my Phone won't boot :( just trying the 5th time..

I've done everything in this order:

Fastboot:

fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot arhd-boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot your-kernel-boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot restart-bootloader

Recovery:

deleted Cache
deleted Dalvik-Cache
flashed ARHD 5.2.0
flashed 3-dot-remover
flashed battery-percent-icons
flashed your-kernel-modules
deleted Cache
deleted Dalvik-Cache

Rebooted

however, it won't boot :(
[HTC One X] aslan93:
@franciscofranco very happy to see you developing for the one x! you work on galaxy nexus was amazing ! :) I just have a question, it was a bit clearer to me what the features of the nexus kernel were because you said things like: improve battery life when screen on etc. and im not really understanding what the features of this kernel are.. this is mainly to my lack of knowledge but if you got time could you please explain what this kernel does in more noobish language? i think me and some other people would really appreciate that.

I will definitely test this kernel out as soon as i fix some issues with my hox!

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC One X] the_maker:
Why don't you try a flash without any add-on. Maybe something else makes the hold..
[HTC One X] HoboTheLegend:
Actually, could it be that the people who are not being able to boot up are flashing boot.img instead of boot-r1.img?

Cause when I downloaded the file, it's called boot-r1.img, so if you enter boot.img as per the instructions, you actually flash another file called boot.img in your fastboot folder (which you probably have from a custom rom)
[HTC One X] maxld:
It is great to see you hanging around Franco. I am huge fan of your work since using your kernels for a Galaxy Note. Best of luck and thanks for all the work.
[HTC One X] Kamaal:
:(

Same here, but i was on:

1) ARHD 5.2.0

2) EternityProjectKernel 0.68 with modified RAMDisk for ARHD

Back to EternityProjectKernel, succesfully working again... :)
[HTC One X] D0GuKaN:
Looks great, I will try :)
[HTC One X] inzaghi75:
I have flashed it without problems like this:

boot into bootloader

erase cache

fastboot flash boot boot.img

erase cache

boot into recovery

wipe cache and dalvik cache

flash franco´s modules

reboot :D
[HTC One X] franciscofranco:
Hmm could be indeed.
[HTC One X] Meltus:
Finally got it working! :D

If anyone's having trouble, try following the instructions in the OP but after you flash the boot.img, restart the phone and it should boot up ok. Then turn it off and boot into recovery mode and carry on with the instructions.

I'm not sure why, but restarting the phone in between these steps seemed to fix any problems I was having :)
[HTC One X] inzaghi75:
I have renamed it in boot.img. Maybe this is the solution :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] Kamaal:
Flashed boot-r1.img with no luck.... :o (and it was the only img in the folder, just to be sure, as always i use to do...)
[HTC One X] noobstix:

Wow its the first time the server went down! I think I'm not going to release One X and Galaxy Nexus kernels at the same time again. Anyway its back up.
[HTC One X] franciscofranco:
I don't think we can tweak the colors on this LCD panel, but I'm going to look out for that.

It's been god damn said for countless times that OTG is currently broken on the kernel source.
[HTC One X] franciscofranco:
It was kicked in one of NVIDIA's patches and glad it was kicked. Whoever added that 51mhz step must've been drunk. Heck even 102mhz is too low.
[HTC One X] the_maker:
And what does the Sony bravia engine (with all the proprietary files) do? I think it changes the output color profile for sure, but how? Do you know anything about it?
[HTC One X] franciscofranco:
As much as I know about that engine is that it only affects Media usage (e.g. watching a movie).
[HTC One X] the_maker:
Franco i got to tell you that your kernel has been the best one so far. After heavy usage, and with 2,5 h of screen time it is a dream come true from a smartphone..

Thanks for all the hard work mate..

EDIT: It is r4 and Charmandar v.4.0.0 i'm talking about.. Not to be mixed with the new r5.. Sorry for any confusion :)
[HTC One X] Rycon33:
I thought version 5 won't boot in 401.7 firmware but it did. So far so good, thanks :)
[HTC One X] the_maker:
And one more thing i wanted to ask.. I was discussing this in another thread for the power-savings, and it is about the possibility to activate the build-in advanced power saver in the rom.. I mean, after the 30% battery, the power saver is damn efficient, and some things can be tweaked to be fully functional.

So, if you can have a switch to turn it on when the battery is, lets say, on 95% power, then i think that the battery will last 3 days :) :) And plus with 2 cores off, maybe a week.. LOL like my nokia 2110... :D Just to hear your ideas about this...
[HTC One X] listentochaos:
I'm getting rather strange battery consumption, kernel seems to eating my battery for breakfast.

Any ideas.
[HTC One X] the_maker:
It is not that strange. From some over 2h of usage, you have the screen ON for 40min :) That is normal usage, plus if you have some battery monitoring widgets, or juice defenders, which drain the batt also, this is what you get..

Try updating your rom and try r4 kernel with it. Don't add any battery apps or widgets and you will see huge improvement.. Try and post here..
[HTC One X] listentochaos:
My ROM is on the latest version (Leedroid 6.2) so nothing to update to. Going to remove some of the battery crap and see how it runs.
[HTC One X] qpop:
Ahh, battery "savers" - the snake oil of the Android world.

Franco, massive props to you for your work. Significant improvement of battery life.

I passed you some beer money :) thanks.

I Relocked it,Cant Flash CWM or something else and still Unable to do that,because of the -30% Battery ****

Hope i can get it to work again.

auto brightness on, screen on time 62 minutes. (38% of power usage)

but the weak signal was killing my phone on stock kernel...

I also Tried to Erase Cache,and Reflash the kernel,Modules where Installed etc

I did everything Step by Step.

And Now the HOX Stopped to Charge and Only the Led Flashs 10 times,after that it Goes Into Fastbootmode and when i leave it on It Switches off.

Now i have it on the Charger for 30 Minutes and nothing happens anymore.

The Led dont Lights up

And Plz i am not a Flashnoob or something like that.

I Started with Flashing roms etc Several Years ago on a N95

First Andro was a Vodafone 858 (Huawei)

Then a Galaxy S2,after that Sensation XE and Helped several Friends to Root theyre Phones and all that

And Btw i was Running the Insertcoin 6.3.1 Rom and my HOX has the HT24 in the Serial Number
[HTC One X] the_maker:
Try to boor it into recovery, the new one has usb charging enabled. Maybe that can help.. And if it can not boot into recovery, when in fastboot, i think the command is: adb reboot recovery (someone correct me if that is not the right command), bearing in mind that you have the adb.exe in the folder from where you execute it, of course..
