I'm not saying for when the screen is off.. I'm saying when the screen is on and even when you do nothing with the phone it keep all cores online..

I for example want to have 4 core available but they have to be online only when the system need's them,, With this kernel i saw that all cores where always online even when the system was idling,,,

I hope you understand what i mean :p
[HTC One X+] saibz:
I'm not sure I understand, should the cores be disabled when the screen is on? I thought the normal procedure is they are idling and downclocked especially when the screen is on because it means you're about to use the phone... bedalus and the other devs know more anyway so I'll just wait for their comments.

Re: [KERNEL] hXORe for sense [INTERNATIONAL]

I think he means hot plugging in which the cores will only activate as needed by system load and shuts down when not needed. However the dev did disable hot plugging on his kernel as mentioned in v0.4 changelog

Sent from my Nexus 7
[HTC One X+] saibz:
I see, thanks. Maybe bedalus can explain why he doesn't like hotplugging, I don't think I've seen an explanation. :)
[HTC One X+] maxwen:
Re: [KERNEL] hXORe for sense [INTERNATIONAL]

CPU hotplugging takes time

so the approach to disable it make sense

how battery live is influenced by it can only be told doing extensive measurements
[HTC One X+] Notechis:
You will be glad to hear that now I am able to select number of cores. Don't know why, but now it works. The fourth core is rarely online and drain and performance is perfect. Now I limited to two...

Thx for your hard work

I've got the international version, so I can't test for AT&T, but I can have a go at compiling it if you want to test?

Edit: here it is http://d-h.st/A0e

I've go no idea if it works, so make sure you have a working kernel available to flash back to, and you may want to back up your kernel modules.

TestC showing great battery life - less than 1% per hour on standby. Feels smooth and responsive. However I've had errors from widgets - settings, brightness, profile etc that are on my home screen. All report they have become unresponsive when I opened lots of apps. Needed to reboot to get most working again. Profile widget needed deleting and adding again to make it work. Can't reproduce problem every time but has now happened twice.

Next time it happens, reboot immediately and then asap upload /proc/last_kmsg somewhere and post the link for me, that way I can have a look at what's happening.

I think the OOM settings are just right - this version 3.2c does not seem to lag and i think part of the credit is for the OOM settings.

The lag was nothing to do with the oom settings, it was just bad governor settings.

Just flashed it on my AT&T HOX+ with Elegancia 5.2. Did not boot. :(
[HTC One X+] :
I appreciate your bravery! :D

However, I think you downloaded the wrong kernel, or the download did not complete, because dev host is still showing 0 downloads of that version. In case you want to have another go: http://d-h.st/A0e
[HTC One X+] Rapscallion16:
Okay, I re-downloaded it fully, and it still didn't boot after I flashed it. Looks like it still needs some work, but I appreciate your support for the AT&T version! We don't have very many developers for it right now.
[HTC One X+] towelboy:
Oh man, great stuff bedalus! Will report back after father's day party is over :D
[HTC One X+] :
Yeah, apparently it doesn't work. It may be a ramdisk issue. I didn't think to replace the ramdisk! I'll try it and reupload
[HTC One X+] :
Everyone on the test version, can you check in? Any issues? How much uptime? Thanks!
[HTC One X+] pradeepvizz:
No problems for me i guess :) been up from the day it was available.
[HTC One X+] :
Here is another attempt. I made a school-boy error and forgot to exchange the ramdisk, so the first test version had the wrong one, and had no hope of working!

The version here http://d-h.st/HGS ...has the AT&T ramdisk, and has at least a slim chance of working!

*That's right. I said AT&T (this is not for international devices)
[HTC One X+] sffmandrake:
Hi,

No problem here :thumbup:

Thx bedalus
[HTC One X+] :
Mmm, here's some good news, LZO got an overhaul in the 3.9 kernel. I've gone direct to the new 3.10 android experimental branch and pull the latest code, which I believe is LZO-2012

The improvements in the compression can be seen here:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/ke.../?id=b0af9cd9aab60ceb17d3ebabb9fdf4ff0a99cf50

This is a good thing for us, because zcache uses LZO compression, so this should offer another boost for RAM performance.

The kernel compiled fine, so I just need to test it... if it boots, then I'll upload another test version :)
[HTC One X+] aliko007:

v3.3 is here: http://d-h.st/FPz

CoreManager.apk is here: http://d-h.st/R5l

-after rebooting, remember to open/save+exit to restore your preferences

-Please grant super-user permissions

Version 3.3 Notes

This version bring a nudge upward in performance through 'touchboost' and the smartmax ideal frequency. Other updates are for the low memory killer, and the efficiency of zcache by updating to the latest LZO compression algorithm.

I believe I've hit a sweet-spot with this version, so my energies for the next update will be solely directed into the Core Manager app. I plan to provide easy access to the governor tunables to give users the ability to tweak the key settings for powersaving/performance to their personal preference. I may see if I can provide some zcache statistics output. Also, the app lacks any sort of UI identity, so I'll see what I can do to smarten it up.

Also, I still can't believe I haven't gotten around to adding the GPU decoupling switch yet! :p

My kernel config

-Slide to Wake [S2W]

-Hotplugging with a user defined limit (using the above app)

-The low power core is prevented when awake, and the high-power quad-core is forbidden when the screen is off. This is to ensure performance when the screen is on, and power-saving when it is off (+ there is a two core minimum when device is awake)

-smartmax governor by maxwen

-added fast-charge to kernel (thanks maxwen)

-added BLX (thanks ezekeel)

-Available IO Schedulers: BFQ, CFQ (as default), Deadline, NOOP, SIO, ROW, and V(R).

-Miscelaneous tweaks: ticket based rwsem algorithm; Google's tcp proportion rate reduction algorithm; cifs; zcache with latest LZO; SLUB
[HTC One X+] maxwen:
and you still havnt issues with zcache support? :)

the problems starts here if you create heavy pressure on the memory system
[HTC One X+] :
I believe that everything is fine so far. I'm expecting about 50 people to update, so if there is a problem it should present itself pretty quickly
[HTC One X+] Notechis:
Yesterday with heavy usage it survived around 4.5 hours, I had a 10% at evenig and recharged it at night. Today I flashed an older Insert Coin and it solved all isues. Tested several tools and all are working. Coremanager is working,too.

Will flash new version soon.

I just want to know if zcache is a problem. If so, it will be removed. The prize will be knowing that it works flawlessly, or that it doesn't!
[HTC One X+] somemadcaaant:
I think having force gpu on was causing a few issues with the sense launcher, XDA felt smooth with on but I could see random stutter else where, not slow down but micro stutter.

Any one else experience this with force gpu on?

3.3 with out force gpu activated seems very snappy, not seeing any stutters so far.
[HTC One X+] pradeepvizz:
ofcourse me! when i did force GPU i found lags and when i removed it it was smooth - this was with a 3.X version. Not sure how it performs now.

No, don't flash the v3.3, just the one in the at&t link alone
[HTC One X+] Rapscallion16:
We have liftoff! :D Booted up fine, seems to be running very smoothly. S2W is working, but the buttons seem a little more finicky and have a harder time recognizing my touches. They also don't appear to be lighting up. WiFi doesn't seem to be working either, but LTE is working great. I hope that you progress with it, because it looks great so far!

HTC Sense has no more lags, multitasking is so smooth, real racing 3 is running fast as hell, Facebook is smooth etc I just can't believe it!

Bedalus thank you so much!

I've set min 475 max 1600 in Venom tweaks to avoid music lags (working) and it has no bad influence to battery life :)

Really no lag at all i don't believe my eyes how is this possible :D so smooth on viper 1.0.9 and the animations are different than before because there is no lag, great job i must say. hotpluging is on 2 cores with cfq battery is very very good ,i feel like I've bought htc one hahahah

Here is another AT&T build, where the screen is hopefully working again.

I've build wifi as a module this time, although I doubt it will make any difference!

http://d-h.st/2tY

If this doesn't work then I will have to seek help from an AT&T kernel developer. Does anyone know any?
[HTC One X+] towelboy:
Whoh, its really amazing that you're putting this much into a request! You should make a separate thread for us and definitely there will be testers and other developers! :D

Edit: so to flash this boot.img, do I have to factory reset to try? Will restoring a nandroid backup bring back the old boot.img?
[HTC One X+] kuailan:
I tested the 1.7 Kernel....performance looking good...but when I tried playing iron man 3 for 15m, my phone start to heat up. Pretty hot if u ask me.
[HTC One X+] reaper90:
even with powersaving mode enabled this game heats my phone up like hell...
[HTC One X+] kuailan:
Yes me too try with powersaving mode, and also heat up. I guess this game must be too heavy for the phone? I will try other game.

By the way, I try running the game with only 2 cores and switch off the gpu coupling off...last a bit better?
[HTC One X+] reaper90:
it seems to run a bit cooler then... but still tegra 3 seems to be too slow to play this game smoothly. increasing the frequency seems to help in terms of smoothness, but it's still too laggy to dogde all those things in the end^^
[HTC One X+] kuailan:
Yeah, I think this game is just not meant for HTC One X+.....too hot, and not good enough. I tried to switch back to the previous kernel version (the one just before the 1.7) and still hot... Anyway, I will test this new kernel further to see how good the drain is....:good:
[HTC One X+] :
No problem!

You do not need any sort of reset or wipe to test this kernel.

Nandroid will not restore previous boot.img so make sure you know where yo get a working one. Use fastboot

Edit: did you say if Wi-Fi is working?
[HTC One X+] Vixa:
Please split the topic with the AT&T because its confusing like this ...
[HTC One X+] :
No thanks. There's enough room for both in one thread. My AT&T kernel is only in the testing stages anyway. Is there a specific issue or question I can help you with? :)
[HTC One X+] :
http://d-h.st/5tp

core manager new graphics. Not transparent. Does anyone know where to get decent png files?
[HTC One X+] towelboy:
So I flashed the kernel. Booted up fine, screen turned on, capacitive button works every 100 presses (no vibrations) & WiFi broken. But the amazing thing is:

NO LAG on keyboards! Typing this up has been a joy, the keyboard flows very smoothly. I'm going to try some heavy graphic games and see if the lag is still there. Good stuff :D

Edit: not surprised, the lag on games is GONE. Tried Real Racing 3 & Minion Rush and the only lag visible was at the very beginning of opening the app. Afterwards is jellybean buttery smooth
[HTC One X+] kuailan:
Draining test seem to be pretty good on the 1.7 kernel (just like the previous version). I have both Wifi and Data on, auto sync on all the time, No Power saver on, running all 4 cores, GPU coupling on, CFQ....go to sleep for 6 hours and screen off....wake up, turn on, only loose 1%....Also very impressive, I run full Antutu benchmark (full blown setting) and loose only 1% in one go (normally I will loose at least 2-3% on other kernel). Overall I think the draining very well match the previous version with non 1.7Ghz....Good job Bedalus....:highfive:

Bedalus - I appreciate the work you are doing to advance development for the non-international version of this phone :)

I'm learning kernel and rom compiling and I need some help from you. What is the proper defconfig file for the ATT One X+?? I downloaded the source code from HTCDev and am getting ready to do some work with NDK but I am at a stop at the moment because there are a number defconfig files to choose from. Can you give me a hand?

That looks to be the one from looking at it. The txt file in the source zip should get you running at first. You can always pull the config.gz out of the kernel you are using for a base or work from scratch using menuconfig or xconfig.

[HTC One X+] Miglon:
I'm on 3.3, and I've found every last version of this kernel really amazing! No lag anymore, nice battery drain, everything is really butter-smooth (not peanut-butter-smooth like before). Bedalus found the way to be really proud of this phone!

But in last versions I'm experiencing music lags too when screen is off, I suposed it's due to the lower frequencies applied. The problem is that I'm not using Venom anymore as I found Revolution pretty faster than Venom, but I would like to increase the lower frequency values.

Do you recommend any app to change CPU values for all the non-Venom users?

I think it would be amazing if [MENTION=4128576]bedalus[/MENTION] adds this feature to CoreManager... ;)

I didn't like the look of the core manager app, after trying hard to theme it and be clever, it really looked terrible and not android-like. I've gone back to the stock look, with a faint background and stock buttons. I really wish I knew how to prevent the transparency!
[HTC One X+] jizang:
What does gpu couping do would that help in anyway with the temperature while playing games
[HTC One X+] reaper90:
lol, you are always asking the same questions which have been answered so many times... on Tegra 3 SoC (System on a chip) GPU frequency scaling is linked (coupled) to CPU frequency by default. so if there's no workload on CPU, GPU clock also stays on low levels, resulting in lags in some games demanding for more GPU power. To solve this issue, you can either decouple your GPU from CPU, so the GPU frequency is managed independant of CPU frequency and load or you have to fix your CPU (and thus GPU) to a higher speed.

second method will definately result in higher Temperatures but most likely smoother gameplay, first one may help you get lower temperatures in games that are not that CPU demanding.

Tegra 3 just isn't the best SoC for playing games (even though it's made by nvidia), so if you want smooth gameplay and lower temperatures you will most likely have to buy a newer and better phone made in 28nm process and with an adreno GPU.
[HTC One X+] Rapscallion16:
It seems that flashing the newest version of the AT&T kernel with the broken WiFi modules had broken WiFi for good, even when I flashed back to my original kernel. Is there a way to fix this, maybe by deleting and replacing the modules somehow?
[HTC One X+] 2lazy2day:
Try pulling the modules out of the zip file from the ROM you are running. And push them to the modules folder. I forgot where it is, lol. /system/lib/modules/ I think. Then reflash the boot image for the ROM. Should get you back up and running.

[MENTION=4128576]bedalus[/MENTION] I saw your question. I'll have to see if I can figure something out later tonight or tomorrow. Got things going on right now.

[HTC One X+] pradeepvizz:
wats wrong with the test version doc ? ;)
[HTC One X+] :
I don't think there's anything wrong with it. But I've disabled fsync again, so it might destroy data if it reboots, so I'll test it myself for a while first

EDIT: It survived overnight, and I've abused it a bit this morning, and everything seems fine. I'm just a bit worried that if there is an instability issue, it will reboot and could corrupt important file-system data. For some stupid reason, I'm removing debug stuff at the same time. It's possible to make fsync use a sysfs toggle, so I might use this instead with another toggle button in the app, that way people can choose to live dangerously if they want!
[HTC One X+] ace_viknesh:
Beladus what hotplugging limit do u suggest?
[HTC One X+] :
Well, I'm using four. I think most of the time only two are active. I suppose you could limit it to two if you're in a situation where you want to save power. I might build a power saving button into the core manager to limit it to one core and allow the low power core, so if your battery is getting low, you can switch.
[HTC One X+] ace_viknesh:
Two is working the best for me. Thanks man!

3.3 is not good for me. :( Lags Music when screen off and sometimes my phone won't wake Up.

Odesláno z mého HTC One X+ pomocí Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X+] :
I have on occasion noticed that the device wouldn't wake up with s2w but one press on the power button woke the device normally. After that s2w worked again. This may be resolved in the next version as a lot of code was updated by maxwen, which I've merged in. You can test if you like, it's already available in the test version.

The music lag, I've never personally experienced, but some people have said it's only an issue with certain players
[HTC One X+] pradeepvizz:
i never had it too, do you think LP overclocking can solve it for these ppl?
[HTC One X+] :
No, there's no way that 102MHz isn't fast enough.

I think the problem is really due to some bad code somewhere. It's probably not the apps, because I expect they work fine on other devices. I think there might be some issues with the code for our audio chip, because it sounds like something-that-rhymes-with-ship to me. Beats audio is supposed to be 'better'? Even if you turn that off, it still sounds rough. What a joke. It's a good thing I don't listen to music on this device or I'd be very disappointed with my purchase. Let's just hope we get new kernel source when sense 5 drops
[HTC One X+] pradeepvizz:
ah, i did not know 102MHz should be fine..

lol, i use my phone as my primary device to listen to music :)

i think the latest 3.3 of yours is extremely good for me - don't really a newer version(sense 5) to mess up however i know you have more tricks on your sleeve to show us :)
