[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Okay after playing with 9/21 build more I've noticed a few oddball things....

Again....I've got an Asus panel and the picture looks perfect. Color, contract, saturation, it's all perfect. No blue hue at all. That's REALLY weird that some people have that and I don't. (Almost as weird as some people having the data instability and others not)

Rebooting is an odd experience. I mean it works, but the sequence is Splash Screen, 30 seconds of black screen, then 5 seconds of boot animation before the phone starts. It's like the boot image isn't getting things loaded fast enough to get the boot animation working on time. The total time it takes from hitting the power button to having a powered on phone isn't any slower. It's just not starting the bootanimation process when it should. That's not a big deal at all as far as the user experience, but it might mean that other things I'm not noticing aren't getting loaded right. So something to keep an eye on.

It's smooth, but not as good as the 9/12 - 9/15 builds. I'm sure that's just tweaking to be done.

At first all the animations were choppy. Like screen transitions and what not. Disabling HW overlays made those smooth. I thought that was weird and might have deeper meaning.

When turning the screen sometimes the buttons don't work right away, then when they do there is static fuzz for a half second like an old TV tuned to an empty channel. If that's there on purpose, then ew. If it's indicative of a problem, let me know what else I can do to diagnose it.

I have no thoughts on battery life yet as there's not real way to tell until there's been a full discharge cycle.

Data definitely isn't fixed, but that's not shocking as I'm 100% certain that it's not a kernel issue. I've tried too many different kernels on various AOSP builds and always get the data instability to believe that all the kernels are broken in the same way. It's a framework issue. It has to be.

Something might be wrong with SuperUser. When using root apps SuperUser is asking for permission over and over and over again. I just had to give permission 15 times to start Titanium. Then every action within Titanium requires me to grant SU permissions repeatedly before it takes and the action is performed. System Tuner and better Battery Stats keep triggering the need for permissions every minute or so. Kinda weird.

Overall for a kernel that's in testing stages everything seems to be working really well. Nothing is freezing or showing weird visual artifacts. Signal strength looks good. Wifi works. It's 100% usable other than the data issue, but that's not nothing to do with the kernel and probably nothing to do with any commits or anything Bruce has added.

NONE of this is complaining! Just feedback!

I think I figured out why SU isn't working and it takes 30 times to approve permissions for every root action. I got an error when using GetRIL that the system partition can't be mounted as writable.

So root apps really have no function in this update with that not working. This could just be a borked install on my device. Anyone else having this issue?

When I try to open the SU app to meddle with its' settings it immediately force closes. Maybe SU isn't compatible with the new kernel? I'm just guessing.
