i feel the same, i think we should just install the non aroma version

it's more battery friendly for me
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
Me too... i have very poor signal after flashing this Kernel - both v1 and 2 - but it's realy fast!
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
it can't affect the signal O_o
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
I just learned that ;)

Flashed other Kernels and get same bad signal strengh, so i guess i just have bad coverage in my area at the moment.

I apologize making for making that wrong conclusions.
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
You should have waited several hours with bricked to see if that's kernel or bad flash? Flash over your system again and let the system run with bricked stock kernel and check if you still find lag.

About the battery, be confirmed that, this kernel will eat more batt than bricked. And btw bricked is best with battery.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I'm not sure regarding this.. For some reason I have better battery with this kernel (v2 non aroma one) than bricked and faux kernel.. I'm on viper rom btw

So battery thing is subjective. And depends one ones device I would say ;)
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Perhaps. But by majority, bricked gave better battery performance.So not considering exceptions. If you are getting better batt with this then you are well fortunate cause I love its performance. :)
[HTC Sensation] Jaglicic:
I am on Vipers from the first version, tested bricked, then faux, then sebs... I just wanted you to know that I was doing fresh install without some leftovers from other kernels.

But definitely this is the worst battery life for me... But I will give it a few more days...

@Pacha:

I need it too :)

So are you suggest to use zram?

Just say when ready :)

I need battery life BUT with normal using without any lags :)

So Pacha, I understand that you are using your default kernel (not battery optimized aroma version)? what is your battery results with it?

Oh, and one more... what is battery calibration script doing exactly?

What about flush command? Is it necessary to keep ram clean?
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
battery calibration script helps you to have a more accurate battery %. minimize the situation that battery show 100% but acctually around 90% for example
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
using Vipers 1.3

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

I dont use undervoltage. cus its only makes your phone unstable and the battery effect is minimal.
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Battery calibration does nothing absolutely!
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
It does wipe the battery stats file. The therory and I mean theory is that when somebody builds a rom the battery stats file is for their rom. If you can delete the file it calibrates it to your battery and is suppost to give a more accurate reading.

My view is that HTC have never been able to properly rate battery readings since day one even I remember it was not great on the HD2. It is nothing to worry about really!
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
I meant it does nothing to improve your battery performance. The battery is limited to its supply. My be the reading shall be uneven. :)
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
yes, it doesn't improve battery life, just accuracy

and I mentioned, reduce situation: 100% but actually 90% ==> we can call it improve battery a bit

maybe it is worth to have

ARHD ROM always includes this script in their ROMs since the beginning. They should know about this but they still include it
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Sorry that was what I was trying to get at as well!
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Hahaha! You are not wrong! But unfortunately my friend, android automatically re-writes the calibration data file after a while. So, having that script while installing a ROM is GOOD but not like, ALAS! I AM LOOSING SOMETHING! ;)

[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
just a small error and it doesnot affect the settings => don't worry

I'll fix it, enjoy your flash

edit: bug fixed --> link is the same
[HTC Sensation] ninjabadger:
No problem, keep up the good work.
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
NOTE:

If you're using ViperS ROM, the Swipe2Wake configuration in Venom Tweaks will affect the change of the AROMA Swipe2Wake option ====> You have you go to Venom Tweaks and change the S2W option manually
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Nice!

That is correct. We have designed this kernel to fully work with venom tweaks. Venom uses a file and changes the value in it depending on what you select. The problem with all other kerenels is it locks this file as read only. This means that when you use venom tweaks it cant change the value.

With this kernel we keep the file as read write. That way you can then go into venom tweaks afterwards and change it with out reflashing the kernel :)
[HTC Sensation] chrisrj28:

PYD-X kernel is Killaaaa!

Used mutch kernels all drain kernels..if you want your phone working like smoothness and play high graphic games..

Never seen a kernel this good for ICS.

Good battery life

Smoothness

Fast

No zram

Hard-swap 256

Very good work "you now"

Hello...

i wonder .. HDMI driver is depending from Kernel ... or Rom ??? :silly:

Because on 3.6 sense rom, hdmi working good ... but there is no LANDSCAPE mode :/

here on sense 4 .. we have LANDSCAPE, but no working HDMI :/

I was wondering .. there is a way to try to run that shiittt :D:D :Д

if that happening we will have brilliant machine!

Offtopic:

See this app: Take Control

If i have landscape on sense 3.6 or working HDMI on sense 4 .. with that app and wifi keybord & mouse .. i have PC on TV :D

(now that is possible only with ugly launchers and meatless sense 3.6 rom :( )
[HTC Sensation] yazzabo:
I've found the problem...I had set, with kernel tuner, sample rate at 400000 instead of 120000 just for try and I thought that with reboot it will be restored...sorry for mistake!! This kernel AMD this mod are perfect!!!:thumbup:
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
flashed the kernel whit aroma seems quite fast but its eating so much juice whit brightness to 0%? Perhaps its the battery calibration script in aroma ?
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Sorry I tried looking for the answer but couldn't really tell what the answer was...

I'm on faux right now. Do I need to do anything before trying out this kernel? Some initializing flash or cleaning up of files?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Balikesirli:
Yes, you need powerful kernel resetter mod..

You have to install this to get max performance after kernel change..

[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
kernel tuner is not fully compatible with this kernel imo

it sometimes freezes the cpu1 if you don't know how to use.

I've tried it for 1 day and I had a bad feeling :(

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

the aroma includes powerful kernel reset !!!

No need to flash it. Aroma is enough
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
I have found Dual Core RC10 to be much more friendly in comparison to Kernel Tuner...
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
basically, it is the new name of Kernel Tuner

you can do everything but please avoid configuring CPU1

it would damage your phone just like me :(
[HTC Sensation] gen129:
How? How does it possible?!!

PS. I'm on PYD-X Custom Kernel 2.0 now, and I can't manipulate cpu1 frequency parametrrs even throw terminal window! Is it the kernel bug or I've missed some important info?
[HTC Sensation] krmis:
Hi guys, may be I'm stupid but may be found bug in new aroma version. I flash all default setting, but when i go to system info for kernel I see pyd-x stable 1.

And another thing, I came from faux latest kernel, where I set max 1, 72 GHz intellidemand, but after flash default settings it's set again 1,72. Must I manual delete init folder for 100% work

Automaticly or manualy? Couse I can wipe it by myself in recovery if I want :)
[HTC Sensation] jheysl2:
Just installed this kernel, soooo responsive, hopefully the battery life is good too :D
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
it automatically wipe the batterystats.bin AFTER unplugging the charger

youre right. Ill tell ghostxseries about this. he added the kernel, I just added some other stuffs, so I dont know about his mistake

==> I must say sorry for the inconvenient :(

After flashing the AROMA, try to download the stable 2 and flash it over => ill fix it as soon as possible

p/s: all default settings dont touch the cpu frequency so you have to config it manually. AROMA can help you to config with Customize it!!!

yes, it is the problem that patcha is fixing

I cant touch it too, it should be fixed
[HTC Sensation] q9650:
Battery is good for me. Settings are:

Max 1188

Min 192

Uv -75

Screenbrightness i set manually (most Time its on lowest level)

Charged to 71% yesterday and lost just 1% over night...
[HTC Sensation] ItayPBM:
That's weird, I flashed the kernel and it was really laggy, but then I flashed faux kernel over it and it's super smooth, faster then ever.
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
maybe there is a script in init.d folder that config the CPU1 which currently has an bug now

==> very laggy

after flasing faux, you can try to flash this kernel agian because Yank included a script to delete some lelfovers of other kernels
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
Ok now i have tryed every singel Version of this Kernel

If it even boots i get lagg in sense and random reboots. somtimes it just locks the phone until i pull the battery .

Sorry but Faux may give me less power but i rather have stability and not 3 random reboots in one hoer
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
could you please take a screenshot of the init.d folder and post in this thread?

Use root explorer -> go to this path: system/etc/init.d -> take a screenshot

I know what your problem is and I can help you to solve it

there is a script that config cpu1 setting ==> super laggy and ... reboot => I already experienced this problem
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
Is so whye dont u just say what file is interfering.

ok just to contribute il install it again. stay online now cus im not giving this to mutch time
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
here is the files/screanshot
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
delete 69force and the problem should be gone
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
ok. did some benchmarks antutu gives me 5500-6300 thats lower than stock kernel

i get about 7800 with faux
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
just update the AROMA version to 2.52

Link in my signature

maybe you have an old version and it contains cpu1 configuration => laggy

in the new version, everything is fixed (hopefully)

Download the new AROMA version here and choose the deafult kernel settings

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/47039397/MODs/XxXPachaXxX kernel aroma installer v2.52.zip
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
LOL this is Realy funny.

Runing your latest Aroma 2.52 gives me 6200 somthing score in Antutu

If i Flash Faux 10b2 and keap your Init.d skripts i get 7895

Il say your skripts Rocks ,,, but your kernel realy neads work man ...

If i dident use a Class 10 SD card the score would be even less
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
this is not my kernel man

I just create the AROMA to config it

The score is a bit less than because it increases up_threshold to 95%, faux is 70% (!!?), lower is better => in benchmark faux has an upper hand in this. It is for the balance between Speed and battery life

6200 is not a low score ==> IT's HIGH

Set the CPU governor as Powerful will help to to increase the score and change it back to ondemand after

somebody said they have ~8000 in benchmark with this kernel

I got 7252 with GPU downclocked to 267mhz and 2nd phase freq is at 810mhz

=> it should be higher if I change to the original
[HTC Sensation] WarlockW:
Just gave this a try .. used the aroma installer ..

1. boot times are slower then SebastianFM 2.5.2

2. Dono why but seems to be much more laggy - cp1 offline>?

3. cp1 seems to be off line always.. system tuner shows cpu1 not working.

4. set max freq to 1188000 however system tuner shows 1944000 LOL

Anyway .. not sure whats up .. any suggestions ?
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
1. No. there is no problem with CPU1 with AROMA installer 2.52

2. 1944000 is the max cpu that you can reach, not the current freq

3. CPU1 can go on/off by the control of mpdecision. You have to press System tuner -> CPU as quickly as possible and you can notice that CPU1 sometimes on and it jump to 1512mhz

4. laggy? did you choose battery save? -> it should be -> laggy but acceptable?
[HTC Sensation] wuerzet:
Can I have to clean init.d folder when I'm flashing this kernel when I'm going from bricked in 1.3.5 Venom ?

[HTC Sensation] axetilen:

1.3.5 doesnot touch anything related to SoC so you can flash it

I'm using it now. It works flawlessly
[HTC Sensation] kswiss86:
i want to try.

@ pacha and axetilen:

to you guys use zram?
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
I think patcha is uising it

me? Currently not because disabling could save A BIT battery, not significant.

While playing games, sometimes, ZRAM causes lag although CPU and GPU are high :)

But you can try it, it is also a great thing to have
[HTC Sensation] XxXPachaXxX:
Yes, i use it. It's necessary in sense 4 roms, and the one included in this kernel is different. I moved paging in the zram, and it have 150mb of size
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
is that a good idea ?

it can save some ram ..but the paging process eats up more cpu (also time? might be negligible though)

have you looked at this commit ?

https://github.com/gokhanmoral/siyahkernel-sgs3/commit/b719ae83768202908000c24d1609c26638a2a6fe (its for S3 but can be ported to sensation kernel)

IMHO its pretty good to have it with zram :D

I don't use zram on sense 4, feels a little smoother without I think
[HTC Sensation] tomfan203:

Is it compatible with Sony Xperia S LT26i ?
[HTC Sensation] Sharpi1:

[HTC Sensation] jheysl2:
Try the Xperia S forum, not Sensation =]
[HTC Sensation] kswiss86:
Necessary? Really? I read some comments that is some more CPU usage and more Battery drain?
[HTC Sensation] spiderio:
Hi, first of all thanks for this awesome kernel

But I have bugs....

I have battery drain from this kernel

Where my Viper 1.3.5 androidOs is always keep awake

I have 1 hours of screen on

And 3 hours of keep awake...

I've checked twice before i post this

The culprit from gsm battery monitor is the kernel that eat the juice

But when i change to sebastianFM kernel

I have deep sleep and normal keep awake...

1 hours screen on

1 hour keep awake...

Help please
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
Thats real Bull****t

Never used Zram cos its sloer then normal Ram and giving u less ram (Real)

My experince is that Sens 4.x roms runs faster without it.
[HTC Sensation] XxXPachaXxX:
Do what u want.

The villec2 roms are maked for a phone with 1gb of ram. Do you have 1gb of ram? Not! and the results is that my phone have 4% of free ram with the use of zram, and less that 4% without zram. Do you think that this is good? If u use the phone only to call it's ok, but when u surf internet, use big games, multitasking, u need ram, a lot of ram. The results is that you will get phone freezes and sense reloads.

What i want is performances and battery life and the possibility to do everything with my phone. So i've built this kernel, first of all for personal use.
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
? i have a avrige of 140mb free ram

But then i use 256mb Swap witch is even slower then Zram

But even without i get about 100mb free ram.

And Free ram = usless ram

u Whant yur system to use the ram u have. Android whil manege ram by itself and iv never hade a sense restart after i stoped using zram
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
Tips and Trick

this is whithout zram

I recomend every Sens 4 user to NOT run Zram and consider a swap partition

And yea use the init.d scripits from PYD-X with Faux kernel

7995 score in Antutu benchmark

A Clean PYD-X gives u about 6200

Also i Realy like that u try to contribute and i admire your work.

Keap it up and somday u whill have a realy awsom kernel to besides your scripts
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Well free ram == useless ram

But the point is ZRAM doesn't give free ram.. It kinda gives more ram.. By compressing some part of the existing ram.

Now let's start with free ram == useless ram statement

1.its not always true... What android memory management system will do is.. According to oom values and couple of other parameters it will start killing the apps to load the memory for other apps (during multitasking)... So when the free ram is too less... Like <90 MB.. (which is kinda minimum for sense to work without lags).. The Android memory management system will start killing the existing apps and makes some free ram and reload the sense... Which is pretty costly and thus create lags for some time.

2 . when having zram and when not using zram.. You will have almost same free ram all the time... But the advantage of zram is that.. The ram that is being used at that point of time is more than the without zram case theoretically (because the zram will have compressed cache.. So 100 MB of ram is used to generate 150 MB of cache... Thus extra 50 MB)

3.now coming to hard swap... The extra swap you are using delivers some multitasking but at the cost of performance or lagginess.. I'll tell you why.. Say loading a app memory takes "x" time but when that app memory is present in hard swap.. It literally takes "100x" time to load that to ram.. Thus creating lagginess or more time taking in loading that app... So having hard swap is not like having more ram

You get the point now?
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
No only for Sensation. If you use this you WILL brick your device!

No its not. Once free RAM gets below a certain threshhold, lag occurs - free RAM is not wasted which you would know if you had bothered to search (specifically the first page of the V6 SuperCharger thread)
