Changing to the VilleC2 graphics drivers because the VilleC2 graphics drivers were smoother is what I meant.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Well hurry up and hook us up, son! LOL! :D

J/K! Keep up the good work and thanks for the upkeep of this kernel! I just read the changelog and can't wait for the next release! :highfive:

Since I'm sick at home instead of being at school today, I've already finished working on everything in r11 except for trying to fix Sixaxis and USB OTG. Merging Faux's changes/updating the kernel to 3.0.60 took forever :p

Hope you feel better soon! Did you get that flu that's been going around all over the country (including here in Hawaii!)? What part of California do you live in?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I live in the central part of California, near Sacramento. Yesterday it felt like someone was ripping my stomach out from my body, so I don't think it's the flu. The flu would've been nicer.

UPDATE: I found out why USB OTG wasn't working and it is now fixed (credit: SebastianFM). Now for Sixaxis...

UPDATE2: For now I'm going to remove Sixaxis support because figuring it out is probably going to take me ages
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
R11 released

R11 has been released! I got the kernel compiled with the newest Linaro toolchain, Linaro 4.7.3, so it's even faster now! The kernel has also been updated to 3.0.60 and USB OTG should be fixed now. I've also changed the GPU drivers to the ones found in the VilleC2 (One S) kernel source, so graphics are faster now. There are a lot of other changes in r11; as usual, for all the details, read the changelog. Enjoy! :D

Is it just me or does Sense 4.1 in ViperS run a lot smoother with r11/with the VilleC2 graphics drivers? ;)

Hmm please do check that. I think HDMI will still work.

Could you also check to see if USB OTG is working now? Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Nice! Thanks! You should be sick more often! Hahaha!!!

I will download and test. I am on Elegancia so it should be interesting if it's different and howso vs. Viper.

I didn't know HDMI was working! But that's ROM-based, yes? Elegancia 4.1 still doesn't support HDMI out...

Re: [KERNEL][SENSE][LINARO][FASTEST][3.0.60][Aroma] Sultan kernel [r11 1/25/2013]

R11 and ViperS 1.6.3 are running very smooth (2D @266, 3D @300MHz)

And the kernel is very fast and stable for me (intellidemand, 1512-384MHz, screen-off max @486MHz)

P.S. I dnt use hdmi so couldnt tell if there are any problems

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I just looked at the symptoms for that new flu strain of stomach flu spreading across the entire USA and I have the same symptoms...

Anyway, HDMI requires kernel support as well.
[HTC Sensation] chihliouma:
Hi there, nice to see your new kernel being released continously. My Sensation is returned to HTC for repair (SD-card issue) and will be back early next week. But I just d/l R11 and will try on my phone after return. But with curiousity, it seems I don't find the new GPU driver that you claim in R11. Do you miss something there ? As I learn (correct me if I am wrong), the files inside the module directory of R11 are for WI-FI instead of GPU related. Thanks and hope you can advice.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Dude, that sucks! Hope you feel better soon! I had a bad virus once...worst...feeling...EVAH!!!

As for the HDMI, yeah I realize that...just sayin' I wish I could test it but can't...hopefully though! :)
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I changed the GPU drivers at the kernel level. Look at the changes in my commit on my GitHub (it might take a while to load): https://github.com/sultanxda/sultan-kernel-faux-linaro/commit/ace6016b8f4acb427ae25861559205d8f5275441#diff-70

In the .zip file, in the kernel folder, the zImage is the kernel. That's where the GPU driver changes took place (inside the kernel itself).

ALSO, not all the files in /system/lib/modules are for WiFi; only bcm4329.ko and bcmdhd.ko are for WiFi. The other files in /system/lib/modules are for other features.
[HTC Sensation] chihliouma:
Thanks for the detail advice. I'll try and report back after try next week.

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Go for it :)! I have no idea how to use Aroma :p
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
trying to make the aroma :)

BUG BUG BUG

this is not good:

I can't change the 2D GPU clock to 200mhz

although max gpu clock is set to 200mhz but gpuclk is still 266667000 => Yank and I, together we say that it is a waste of battery

everything is blocked. I cant change any of 2D GPU clock

it needs to be fixed
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Fixing that is easy :) I'll add it to the release tomorrow. Right now it's 2:15am so I'm going to sleep. Thanks for making an Aroma mod (I ran out of thank yous for today so I can't thank your post)
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
ok. it is much better

can you add sio and vr i/o schedulers?

1 more thing: when I changed to intellidemand, I saw that some default settings didnt have a value (they were all 0). for example, second phase freq =0 while faux kernel default value is 918

you should also set some for these to make them exactly intellidemand unless it is not intellidemand :)

you can use kernel tuner to check this
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I just tested Intellidemand and Kernel Tuner says the second phase frequency is 1134MHz (that's what it is in my AOSP kernel). I know how to change the frequencies for Intellidemand right before compile, so if there are any requests relating to that then I will honor them. As for SIO and V(R), I'll try to add them (when I tried adding V(R) before, I got errors).
[HTC Sensation] abelov00:
With this i can't connect mobile internet (edge), with other kernels didn' have this issue...
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
R3 released

I've just released r3 and the major changes include user configurable GPU overclock and the addition of the SIO scheduler (I tried adding V(R) but I wasn't able to get it working, sorry :(). Although the GPU overclock is user configurable, I've left the default 2D frequency at 266MHz and the default 3D frequency at 320MHz. Main reason why I added it is for Axetilen's future Aroma mod :D. Also, can anyone tell me if zRam is working for them? Enjoy!

EDIT: Nevermind, zRam is working :D I used the script that Axetilen posted a few pages back. Thank you, Axetilen :good:

I connect to EDGE and WCDMA perfectly fine (I just connected to EDGE right now).
[HTC Sensation] tichyline:
One dummy question, if i install new kernell there are also some sys files and modules included, but what is with the same files from last kernell if the update scrypt is not cleaning old files... Or ist this not needed?

Thx
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
All the modules and sys files are automatically replaced when you install a new kernel, so you don't have to worry. The only thing that can remain from a previous kernel installation is an init.d script in /etc/init.d.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
R4 released

Another release already! This time the kernel has been updated from 3.0.56 to 3.0.57 (thank you, DragunKorr). I'm always open to ideas for features for future releases :). Enjoy!
[HTC Sensation] sepsep 21:
Thanks for your awesome kernel. I reach to 10000 In antutu only with your kernel. Its perfect.
[HTC Sensation] sepsep 21:
Its incredible I can't believe this. Just look at the Cpu score then you will understand what am I saying. Your kernel is fantastic. Wow. My sensation is flying.
[HTC Sensation] almostthere:
I hate you :P....I just flashed in R4 and now R5's out. Anyway below shows the bump in scores for R4. No change in settings
[HTC Sensation] sepsep 21:
The words cannot describe this score.

I think this cpu score is better than one s (s4).
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
WHOA! That's the highest Quadrant score I've ever seen on the Sensation! What speed was your CPU running at? You should post that score in the benchmark thread in the General section and see what everybody says :p. Also, I released r4 just now, not r5 :cowboy:.

Again thanks for your awesome kernels I think that I can reach to 5000 in quadrant.
[HTC Sensation] tichyline:
Is it recomended to delete old scripts from unit.d or they have no influence on new kernell... I use viper s...

Thx again
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
They can have influence on the new kernel. For example, if you installed TamCore's kernel then TamCore's init.d script is still there and it could conflict with an init.d script from a new kernel. However, in the case of my kernel specifically I wouldn't worry too much about deleting old init.d scripts because my init.d script runs last (due to the 99 prefix in the name), thus overwriting any conflicting changes from previous init.d scripts with its own settings.
[HTC Sensation] jotae1e:
hi.

is loop device enabled? if not, can you compile a module or i must compile your kernel from source?

My settings:

- badass balance with sampling_rate = 50000

- 2D = 145mhz, 3D = 267mhz

- min 192, max 972

- uv: -9%+

- msm_mpdecision = on

- max screen-off freq = 486mhz

- swap 128mb swappiness = 90%

- all of my AIO mod tweaks

no reboot, no problem :)

did many tests and no reboot, so my tweaks aint the cause of random reboot

cpu was usually stays at ~756mhz while playing games and it is better than PYD because it is usually 972mhz -> save a lot of juice

but let me correct this: badass is better than ondemand. not compare b/w the 2 kernels

I have 1 suggestion:

it is much much better if you add thermald control from bricked kernel because users can easily control their temp thresholds and avoid getting overheat (bricked sometimes gets hot because the thermald control settings are not optimal, IMO)

only 65*C is not enough

I will share my optimal settings. temp will be around 52~55, or maximum 65-67*C (if it is crazy)

there is a bug that I dont like. CPU min free will automatically switch to 384mhz from 192

read this one from kmsg

<6>cpufreq: cpu1 init at 192000 switching to 384000
[HTC Sensation] jullman:
Yes man, can you share your mod for Sultan :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
no no no I mean he should add that to this kernel

the aroma from this kernel is exactly the same as AIO mod but he made some changes
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I can add the thermald from Bricked. That's weird with the CPU frequency changing to 384MHz... 384MHz actually saves more power because at 192MHz the other core has to be turned on and turning on the other core and having it run at 192MHz uses much more power than 1 core at 384MHz. Also, how long did your battery last?
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
I dont know because it just switched back to PYD to have a test and I ahve the result

your kernel causes sense reload whereas PYD doesnot

the settings are 100% the same (except cpu)

try to play Beach Buggy Blitz and you will see

maybe it doesnot happen in VIperS. my ROM is elegancia now

while playing, I pressed home -> sense 100% reloaded

PYD, nothing happened, still good
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Even with my minfree settings set to the most aggressive that never happens to me on ViperS. That sounds like a problem from Elegancia. My kernel's lowmemory killer probably has stricter settings than PYD-X, but even so, I've never had even had a single reload of Sense ever on ViperS.
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
me too

only elegancia and it is so annoying

but I'm playing that s* flawlessly with PYD, no sense reload :eek:

I can't explain. I did everything I can such as ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 -> still reload
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Download Pimp My Rom from the Play Store and use it to force Rosie into memory. Might help.
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
this is it

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

pimpmyrom does exactly the same thing

it adds that line to build.prop

I did and failed to keep sense in memory

btw, dont worry, you dont need to do anything else. this is the problem from elegancia

I like you kernel because it has 2d gpu = 145

still smooth and battery life is supposed to be better than ondemand gov on other kernels

ive been reading some of these post showing them underclocking and saying it runs pretty fast still. I like overclocking my phone would it matter on this kernel if i overclocked it or would it drain my battery quick
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
posted on ele thread
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Overclocking will always make your phone faster. I've overclocked my CPU to 1.836GHz, my 2D GPU to 266MHz, and my 3D GPU to 320MHz and everything is fasssssst :D
[HTC Sensation] olegat0r:
I was watching to the process of Sultan kernel evolution from the beginning and finally decided to try it.

It is the only kernel for Sensation today, where almost every day we get improvements!

One small but annoing bug noticed: I use Battery Monitor and it shows wrong battery temp in statistics with this kernel.

Kernel tuner shows proper cpu temp but battery temp is wrong too.

It always shows 10-15C degress lower temperature than it is.

I think it is a bug because:

1. Temperature in the room - +25C, battery temp - +19C.

2. Sebastian kernel, that I used before showed +30C at the same temperature in the room.

3. Faux kernel also shows wrong temp and it is a source of Sultan.

And about good news:

Fully underclocked gpu and I still have no problems with UI and games! I hope it really gives better battery life! ^^)

Also I like that smooth regulation of brightness - it is really cool. (didn't have it before)

3.6V for wifi and I can connect to my university's wifi without any problems that I had before. :)

I can really feel the performance improvements in this kernel. Yeah!

Thank you, android1234567, for such amazing kernel! Get well soon!

Now I'll use this kernel as daily!

Sorry for my mistakes in english.
[HTC Sensation] EfrainTrejo:
ok will try it then. :)
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Yeah I'm not sure why Faux's kernel has that battery temperature bug :confused: I might not be able to fix it because I didn't create the problem.
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
if there is the temp bug, thermald control wont work correctly
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
No, it's a battery temperature bug, not CPU termperature.
[HTC Sensation] Balikesirli:
Yes, it´s the battery temperature, not CPU temperature...

It shows me 19C battery temperature

But I have an Anker Battery, that don´t have integrated a temperature sensor, because of more battery capacity (need more place in battery).

No reboots for me using it for more then 6 h and I will use this kernel as my daily too just have some lags on opening and closing app drawer( hope u will fix ) and lags at temple run with 2d at 145 and 3 d at max uc

Send from my HTC sensation
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
How to fix drawer lags: increase your 2D GPU frequency.

Temple Run is lagging because your phone is getting hot, so thermald lowers your CPU speed to 810MHz. Lower your CPU's max frequency a little or use a less aggressive CPU governor.

faux kernel has a problem with lmk so I think this kernel also has that problem

when I looked at the last_kmsg from some users, I saw that the OOM adj assigned to a process was all different from each others and they were all very high

usually, it is maximum 15 for all other kernels but I saw it was 550 or higher in faux although adj in sys/module was still correct -> apps tend to be killed aggressively

I want you to confirm it is right or wrong because it is known as a very common reason why faux users easily get random reboot from faux 10b8

perhaps it is also a cause of random reboot in this kernel that some users have had but we dont have

NOTE: minfree setting in aroma is useless while using with vipers or elegancia because minfree will be loaded from services.jar and overwrite the script
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
See for yourself (I don't know much about lmk settings). At the bottom of this post I've attached the lowmemorykiller.c file from the kernel source.
[HTC Sensation] resadent:
Don't know why, but I'm still having LOTS of random reboots with this kernel. Some time ago I updated from r8 to r10 and the reboots started, someone told me it was UV the problem but as I knew it wasn't I moved back to r8 and had no problems again. Today I installed r11 and the reboots came back, so I decided to follow the advice and lowered UV, currently I'm at 50mV (before it was at 9%, which gave me no problem in r8) and just had another reboot. I may send kmsg later but now I don't have much time as I'm in my exam period. Just reporting.

Use no UV and see what happens.

If you still get reboots then let's see what'll happen if I change the low memory killer to Bricked.

Re: [KERNEL][SENSE][LINARO][FASTEST][3.0.60][Aroma] Sultan kernel [r11 1/25/2013]

And insted of changeing low mem kill to brick change it to pydx :confused:

Send from my HTC sensation
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Overvolting isn't too dangerous if you just want to make 1.8GHz stable. I can't change the low memory killer to PYD-X because Pacha hasn't released his source code for his beta kernel. Right now the low memory killer in his old source code is extremely buggy and is the reason why r1 of my kernel was extremely laggy.
[HTC Sensation] Harbir:
Re: [KERNEL][SENSE][LINARO][FASTEST][3.0.60][Aroma] Sultan kernel [r11 1/25/2013]

Kk about the low mem . But will 1.8 be stable when I overvolt and how much should i overvolt for that please tell I never did overvolt only uv:confused:

Send from my HTC sensation
[HTC Sensation] resadent:
Thanks for the fast reply, I'm sticking with 50mV UV because I had the reboot when I connected my phone to my PC, and the same happened to my friend's n1 this afternoon. Maybe it's a PC-related problem.

Also, I wouldn't use this kernel if I couldn't undervolt. Anyway, I still say 9% undervolt (or 62.5mV) was stable for me on r8 kernel and all the other kernels I have used (sebastianFM's, PYD-X and bruce's). But I'm sticking with latest as it's amazingly fast.

PD: I've always used 1.1GHz as max frecuency, maybe badass isn't setting the frecuency properly and steps higher than this. I will see.
