Enable kernel based mpdecision in /etc/init.d/99sultan-kernel. Mpdecision is what decides when the second CPU core comes online in order to save power. Follow the problems section in the OP if you have any problems enabling it or if it doesn't work.
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
Oh is that what Mpdecision is for? I thought it had to do with the CPUs temperature.

Well thanks mate!
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
The program that controls the CPU's temperature is thermald. Maybe I should explain what mpdecision is in the OP
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
Cool. How much of the day is the screen on?

Bad news. I tried the MHL adapter with the configuration I had. It didn't work, it was really glitchy. Then I flashed your kernel and now it's not sending ANY signal to the TV. I will still try other roms, but if paranoid android sent a glitchy signal with the other kernel, and now nothing with yours. :-\ it needs adjusting. Hope this helps somehow. :)
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I use my phone quite a bit throughout the day. As for the MHL, I didn't really expect it to work because Bruce said in the OP for his CM10 ROM that it isn't working. I suppose it could be kernel related, but I'm nowhere near experienced enough to try and tackle a problem like that.
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:
Hey there.. Really fond of your kernel but im not able to enable s2w and mpdecision.. I use solidexplorer beta 1.3.9.. Installed kernel.. Going to init.d.. 99sultan and put 1 after sweep2wake= and mpdecision=.. Save it.. Reboot.. Now sweep2wake is not enabled.. It doesnt work and i'm guessing mpdecision is not working either.. What am i missing here?
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
Aww. :( bummer. Although I'm not using Bruce's ROM, I'm using paranoid android.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Also, when I tried your kernel the wifi icon didn't display signal strength.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Check the permissions of 99sultan-kernel. It needs to be executable. Also, the text editor you're using has to be root.

Hmm nobody else (including me) seems to have that bug so it might be a fluke in Paranoid Android. Did you try rebooting?
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
Make sure the permissions on the 99sultan file are set to: rwx r-x r-x
[HTC Sensation] chihliouma:
Hi there, I guess you just answer your own question. If time and enthusiasm is not an issue for you, then what's the reason to stop you from releasing the SENSE kernel ?:confused::) I am looking forward to seeing your SENSE kernel. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I don't really want to make a kernel if people won't really use it (both PYD-X and my kernel would have GPU overclock and stuff, and if almost everyone were to say no on the poll then I wouldn't make it). I guess I'll just make it anyway because I have nothing better to do (I have to go back to school on January 7th) and the poll doesn't seem to indicate that nobody wants it. I'm also going to be wating for XxXPachaXxX's new kernel before I release mine. I'll leave the poll up for now.
[HTC Sensation] chihliouma:
Nice to he that, but just one suggestion that why not just release your SENSE kernel based on the current resource you have, since we don't know when XxXPachaXxX's new kernel will be ready (unless you've got some internal info from him), and you can update yours accordingly.

Of course that's my personal suggestion and your any decision is respected. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I spent several hours trying to get USB working on a Sense ROM but I couldn't. The only way to get it working is to use a Sense kernel as a base.
[HTC Sensation] Ducter:
Truly is the fastest my phone has ran. Running AOKP milestone 6, updated opengl drivers as included were petty old, with your kernel CPU under clocked @ 1296. Everything else as default. Hopefully battery life won't be too bad... We will see. Thanks for your work.
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
No. I just switched back. :P I'll try reflashing and doing that.
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:

Here are the perms.. Edited with solidexplorer text editor...
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Then everything should be working once you reboot. Check the permissions after you reboot to see that they stuck (in Bruce's CM10 Kang they reset themselves once you reboot after editing the file, so you have to make it executable again).
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:
Na, didn't work, s2w still doesnt work after reboot and writting the permisions.

Anyway, i've restored my nandroid since i think there is a wi-fi issue with your kernel. I start wifi, let the phone sleep for about 20 minutes then wake it up... wifi isnt connecting so I have to go to settings, disconnect my network and reconnect to start it.. it's too annoying, sorry. Will look up for your future versions tho.

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
What ROM are you using? I'm on Bruce's CM10 Kang and everything is working perfectly :confused:. I also just tested my init.d script and it's working correctly; I enabled Sweep2Wake without a hitch.
[HTC Sensation] bokithq:
I had similar issue with this kernel, i solved the problem when i changed permisions on the 99sultan-kernel file and deleted 99sultan-kernel.bak file and rebooted. Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:
nevermind that, i've restored to bruce since cm10 official got me lowest frame rates in gta 3 ever..

please fix the wifi not connecting after sleep issue in r9, if you can that it. thx
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Here's r8 of my kernel but with a change in it to see if your WiFi problem is solved. If it is, then I'll put the change in r9 (I need feedback on this). Download it here: http://d-h.st/Izy
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:
cant really test this man, i'm away from a charger and cannot flash this for the next day.. if anyone can test this we'd all be gratefull. thx tho..
[HTC Sensation] androidboi209:
Link for the r8 build isn't working. Quick question...will this work on AOKP Jellybam Rom?

EDIT: Sweet I just seen the new link! Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Thanks for bringing that to my attention; I've added a link in the Download section to download r8 from my DropBox (I'll include the option to download from DropBox for all future releases as well). Also, the OP states that this kernel works with any Jelly Bean ROM. Since JellyBam is a Jelly Bean ROM, that means that it works with JellyBam (I have actually used it on JellyBam and it works perfectly fine).
[HTC Sensation] androidboi209:
Yes, I seen the OP, but it only mentioned AOSP and JellyBam is AOKP which is almost similar yes? Lol well, I downloaded and flashed the kernel and all seems well. Again, thank you!
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
AOSP is a reference to all ROMs that do not have Sense. AOKP is based off of AOSP. Also, the the AOSP/AOKP thing only refers to ICS ROMs; there are no Jelly Bean Sense ROMs for the Sensation yet, so there is no need to specify AOSP Jelly Bean.
[HTC Sensation] androidboi209:
I want to let you know that when I put it on max, it freezes and is useless. I had to reflash jellybam. As of right now I have it set at 1782. Thanks for this though because now all my games run smoothly. The game is called Elgard if your interested.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
In the FAQ section in the second post it says, "When trying to find your CPU's maximum frequency with this kernel DO NOT set that frequency on boot until after you know it works"
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
This has fixed the wifi issue for me! Thanks ever so much :)

EDIT: actually I'm not so sure - before, my device would get stuck on 'Turning wifi on' but not it seems to stick on 'obtaining IP address' or shows a message saying it won't connect due to low signal, despite the fact I've disabled that option :-/
[HTC Sensation] StuifzandNL:
Respect 4 Yoh man android1234567!

15 tests old and making kernels!!

Does the kernel works perfectly with the vipers 1.5.2 rom ore sense roms?

Thx
[HTC Sensation] peepee999:
+1
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
No, this kernel will not work well with Sense ROMs. USB connectivity doesn't work in Sense ROMs and I believe you can get greater performance in Sense ROMs by using a different kernel like PYD-X or Bricked. When XxXPachaXxX releases his massive update to PYD-X, I'll make a Sense kernel based off of that.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I'll try reverting the change that allows WiFi networks with low signal to be seen. I'll post it here in about 15 minutes.

UPDATE: Here it is: http://d-h.st/Mw5

Tell me whether it helps or not
[HTC Sensation] StuifzandNL:

[HTC Sensation] 5432:
Flashed this over AOKP rom but it decreased performance...benchmark dropped from 9000 to 8000 - everything was lower, CPU, GPU 2d and 3d, RAM. Don't know what I did wrong - flashed it from recovery.

Am I missing something? or is this not meant to be used with AOKP rom?
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:
Flashed the latest test and will reply with feedback...

Idk about the bwnchmarks man... Im on bruce and with brucekernel i got 7500 and with sultan i got 8000... Running a class 10 sdcard...

Ondemand gov, cfq, ov to 1,5ghz - safe.

I recall seeing as much as about 11000 in antutu on this thread... How do i go about getting these scores?
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
As I write this (haven't flashed this new build) my wifi is stuck turning on. I switch my wifi off and on frequently and this is the first time it's done it today so the problem is intermittent rather than every time :-/ confusing! Thanks fir your support, I'll flash this build and see how I get on. Running Stickman89's JBMIUI ROM just so you know. Thanks again :)

EDIT: wifi working again...strange how intermittent the issue is - didn't even restart. However can't seem to download the above file from devhost, so will try the new build tomorrow!
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Nobody here has actually gotten to 11,000 (highest I saw was a little bit above 10,500). If you really want to see scores over 10,000 then set your CPU's maximum and minimum frequency to the highest it can go on your phone without rebooting (I scored over 10,000 with my CPU running at 1.836GHz), then change the CPU governor to performance. Keep in mind that Antutu scores are ALWAYS varying, meaning that consistency is not something to expect when using Antutu. One time I ran Antutu with my kernel and scored 7,000, then I immediately ran Antutu again right after and I scored ~10,000. Other factors like background processes, temperature, etc. can very easily influence Antutu scores. The point I am trying to make is that what ultimately determines whether performance increased or not is

YOU

, not some benchmark application. Also, my kernel works with all Jelly Bean ROMs.

UPDATE: I just ran Antutu twice using the guidelines I suggested above and scored 10,283 the first time and 10,334 the second time.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Agh, DevHost keeps going down! ):< Anyway, here's a link to download it from DropBox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ht4g22g5u3lhu4/Sultan-kernel-r8.5-test1.zip

The differences between this test and the current r8 release is that powersave mode for the wlan is enabled by default in this test and I reverted the changes that allow WiFi networks with weak signal to be seen. Try switching between this test and the current r8 version so I can see if the changes help.

If your adding dropbox as an option, you may want to remind people to add the file to their own account before downloading so your account doesn't get shut down.

Been using this kernel since r2 and love it. It is a power hog even underclocked but I'm never far from a plug so it's not a problem for me. Thank you!

[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
Just had this again on the latest build (r8.5-test1) unfortunately!
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Is that HyperNonSense?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I'll release r8.5 some time today with the V(R) I/O scheduler, so that should help. Also, your Sensation can handle 1.89GHz?! Maybe if I were to increase the L2 cache frequency from 1.62GHz to 1.728GHz or 1.782GHz for you then maybe you could overclock to 1.944GHz.

Well, DropBox is a secondary option for when DevHost isn't working. I think that I'll just attach the file at the bottom of the OP (I can't believe I didn't think of that before).
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:
I never got that.. Only got stuck at connecting... Or getting ip address...
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Is that still happening for you?
[HTC Sensation] fragargon:
Hi, I ve never met any WiFi connection problem running your kernel. Look my SIG

Got original rill with cm build.

This is my feedback.
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
I think it depends on the ROM you are using - I'm using JBMIUI although having said that it's CM10 based. Confusing. Do you want me to provide a logcat android1234567?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Sure.
[HTC Sensation] fragargon:
deleted... oopps bad forum
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Lifeisfaked, I just installed the MiUi ROM that you're running (I saw your post in the MiUi thread) and then I installed my kernel (r8.5). WiFi turned on without a hitch and is working perfectly :confused:...

UPDATE: I just installed r8 and WiFi is still working perfectly... in the next release I am going to revert the change that puts the WiFi chip into powersave mode by default
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
It works like ninety percent of the time - in a day I switch wifi off/on maybe 50 times and it'll only lock up once or twice, but obviously when it does lock you have to restart. It's an intermittent issue so you just might not have used it for long enough perhaps. Will try get a logcat later today. Is it just me getting this issue or has anybody else experienced it?
[HTC Sensation] Harbir:
i had this problem last month that on/off of wifi but now it is complacently dead no WiFi so i will say be careful :mad:
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
With my kernel? Hmm, could be related to the WiFi voltage increase... strange that I haven't had any problems though. Could you install r5 and tell me if WiFi works? R5 doesn't have the voltage increased.
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
Flashed r5, will let you know how I get on. Thanks for all your support!
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Is WiFi working?
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:
Just wanna let you know that I still have the obtaining IP address hanging with the latest test build.... It does not happen that often but still....
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Install r5 and tell me if it still happens (r5 has the WiFi voltage set to stock HTC). Also, what ROM are you using?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Test USB OTG

Can anyone on an AOSP Ice Cream Sandwich ROM install r5.5 and tell me if USB OTG works? People said it wasn't working on Jelly Bean, but if it works on AOSP ICS then I'll add it back in.
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:
I'll flash and tell you.. I'm on latest Bruce cmx
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:
Dude I'm not gonna flash it cuz I'm lazy and it seems tat it was just a one time occurrence that issue
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
Sorry for not getting back to you, my phone died when I was using it yesterday; it won't switch back on and the battery won't charge. I've ordered a new battery (was using an aftermarket Anker battery) so hopefully hopefully hopefully this will fix it - if not I'm screwed and that's my 2013 off to a bad start! Battery's due Friday, will do a full wipe and flash and see how I get on, providing my device still works!
[HTC Sensation] Harbir:
take out your battery and try to go to bootloader if u can this means that your device is bricked hope i am wrong:angel:
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
For some reason my aftermarket battery doesn't charge when it hits 0% (red notification light just flashes off and on when I try), so I have to take it out and put it in an external charger. Your Sensation should be fine once you get the new battery.
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
Unfortunately the new battery didn't fix the issue! Still dead! Have contacted HTC and have arranged a repair. Hopefully they wont notice that it's rooted; I've looked into this issue and apparently it's so bricked they wont be able to tell it was ever rooted! Sorry this is a bit off-topic, will shut up now :) once I get my phone back I'll be back :)
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Wow, how did it get bricked it just from the battery dying? Did the new battery not come with any power in it? Let's hope HTC doesn't replace the motherboard or charge you to replace the motherboard. Good luck :)

thanks
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Back when I used DragunKorr's kernel with those governors, some of them made my phone reboot :confused:. Also, I'm trying to keep this kernel lean so I don't think I'll be adding lots of governors. I will, however, add one or two if enough people request a specific governor.

You may want to take inspiration from Tamcore's kernel.

How much does the phone heat while playing using this kernel?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
"Q: Where can I find the option to dis-/enable the screen off CRT animation?

A: Settings -> Developer options: set "Window animation scale" to "0.5" or "off" "

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1954621

If the Window animation scale is set to 1 and you still see no CRT animation then change it .5 and then change it back to 1 and see if anything changes.

Depends on what you have your CPU settings set at. It can either get really hot when playing some games or barely heat up at all; all depends on what governor you're using, etc.

[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
Sounds a great kernel.....OnDemand is really the only governor I uses. It works well, barley lags and gives me decent battery. I think you should include this because both of your chosen governors batter my battery. I cannot be alone in requiring a performance biased balanced governor :)

Fastcharge and Sweep2Wake are actually implemented in this kernel. I'll update the OP and add that, and I'll add a script in /etc/init.d in the kernel zips so you can choose to enable them or not. As for those I/O schedulers and CPU governors, badass is already being considered but the others are not, and I don't really find a need to add more I/O schedulers.

I've released r9 out into the wild! R9 is a special release, because

now you can change the GPU overclock to what you want

! I've left the defaults at 266MHz for the 2D GPU and 320MHz for the 3D GPU, but now you can change those to what you want! Example: you can change the 2D GPU frequency to 200MHz and the 3D GPU frequency to 300MHz. The way to change them is exactly the same as it is in TamCore's kernel. The battery life you get with my kernel is up to you now :cool:. I've also added the SIO I/O scheduler for those who want it. Enjoy!
