@RichardW1992

All your complaints have already been answered here and the reasons are obvious. So do us a favour and start reading the whole thread and not just the last postings or pages. One answer is only three posts above yours.

There are still no sources available for this kernel and if you don't understand what this means to the development or the functionality of it, do us all another favour and return to your so brilliantly working kernels...

Thank you.

Hey bro, do u like the updates and do u find with the previous version and this new version ur battery life lasts through a full day without a top off also do u uninstall or delete certain system operations that u or the ROM doesn't need that may slow it down or eat battery life and just to say I'm on Viper 2.0?

Thanks
[HTC One S] rootrider:
Yep, I promised to write about my battery life about one week ago using interactivex2 as governor. Will fulfill this evening, still thinking about how to... lol

Bro, have this as a teaser, one grid is one hour and it's today:
[HTC One S] flar2:
It's alright, I don't think RichardW is complaining.

I'm not sure if I already explained why CPU1 won't stick in this thread. The reason is because whenever CPU1 wakes up from sleep it gets set to 384, and this is hardcoded into the kernel. If you stop mpdecision and run with both cores on all the time, CPU1 will stick at 192. The problem occurs when it goes offline, it's hardcoded to wake at 384.

The other problems of settings at boot are difficult. I try to get both cores to the selected max frequency and 3d GPU to 400, but there are race conditions, other things are trying to set them to stock values. So it really depends on your ROM and other scripts and things going on on your device.

need help :/

installed the kernel, with recommended method ( installing boot.img in the aroma setup ). then it had bootloop ... i flashed the boot.img from the kernel zip then with fastboot. worked ... phone booted up, everything was fine. then i rebooted, and got bootloops. reinstalling kernel or bootimage with fastboot did not help. wiped factory reset. now it cannot mount my sdcard. seems that it has no longer any partitions? there is no jelly bean RUU so i cant install an RUU earlyer because of hboot 2.15.

what to do? cannot even factory reset properly, fails in TWRP :/

EDIT: ok could wipe sd card, and made the factory reset. i will try if it let me install viper rom.
[HTC One S] RichardW1992:
They were not aimed as complaints at all, I was merely just trying to post feedback on how the kernel was working for me. But I guess if you have already had 20 people posting the same stuff over and over again I can see how it gets annoying...

With regards to other peoples kernels I was never trying to put yours down. And yours is the most reliable I have used.

I am running a heavily stripped down version of Viper 2.0, and it is silky smooth, Antutu scores 13500, Quadrant over 7000 and Linpack can return up to 400Mflops on multithread! with surprisingly good battery life compared to CM10 I was on before. That had tons of partial wake locks causing the phone not to sleep, not sure if that is due to the kernel or the ROM, but this current combo is much much better at sleeping properly.

Sounds like you have a lot of problems on your hand developing then, so even more credit to what you have managed to achieve. Am I right in thinking that when HTC finally release the kernel source code nearly all of these problems will be easily eradicated?

Anyway, thanks again for your explanation, and thank you for your kernel.

I look forward to future updates!

Don't know if it's the kernel but since flashed 2.5 I got reboots when some apps are accessing system partition in write mode. For ex Titanium Backup when I tried to uninstall a system app or in TWRP when trying to flash a zip that writes to system.

I'm running Viper 2.0, wiped everything (3 times factory reset) before flashing the ROM. I'll test some more to see if I can pin it down

Re: [KERNEL][Feb3]Elemental-S-JB-v2.5| Sense 4+ | OC | UV | ZRAM | intellidemand | FI

to set a different governor I'm using kernel tuner, should I use set on boot or use init.d? And for CPU 1 on the latest kernel it doesn't stick to whatever you set to right?

Hello,

I use your kernel on viper oneS 2.0 but I had the same problems with cyano or JellyBam.

Like You can See on my screenshot, cpu1 never work so the phone is incredibly not usable when there is multitasking situation.

Only other change that I make is downgrade hboot but the problem was also before

Re: [KERNEL][Feb3]Elemental-S-JB-v2.5| Sense 4+ | OC | UV | ZRAM | intellidemand | FI

Hi, flar2!

Did you removed bus overclocking in 2.5? Because there is no more option to select it turned on...

ADD: I don't know how it can be made - but there is one really important thing that will be really great to implement in the kernel:

I don't know the reason why HTC did this (probably - because of willing to sell more original chargers, can't imagine any other real reason), but HTC One phones can be fast-charged only from original power adaptors (when charging current goes up to 900mA). Original chargers has 10 Ohms between middle contacts of USB plug, and kernel checks for this condition. With any other charger HTC One phones can take only below 500mA. Thus - charging takes much longer, then from original charger. Even is othe charger can supply up to 2A current (for example iPad's one). On ICS kernels there were some built-in tweaks to disable charger checking, and phone could take as much as charger was able to supply. Is there any way to make it with JB kernel?

Thanks a lot in advance!
[HTC One S] Raptylos:
AW: [KERNEL][Feb3]Elemental-S-JB-v2.5| Sense 4+ | OC | UV | ZRAM | intellidemand | FI

That's an interesting fact to know. As most of the newer generation mainboards can deliver more than 500mA on certain USB ports, it would be a benefit. But imho there is a certain danger of overpowering older ports as well. But I think, that most boards have current limiters.
[HTC One S] RCLRob:
I'm having the same problem like you had. Using the 3.16.206.6 Firmware from o2 UK. Did a complete backup of the system with TWRP before flashing the kernel. Doing a full restore now and so far it looks good.

But i would like to know why that happens. Has anyone an idea?

Re: [KERNEL][Feb3]Elemental-S-JB-v2.5| Sense 4+ | OC | UV | ZRAM | intellidemand | FI

I ran into some troubles when instaling elemental after jb ota install. I fastbooted boot.img, it looked like it went through but it didn't stick. Wasn't working properly after each reboot.

Then I read op post again. It says something about rebooting bootloader twice or so. So I reboot to bootloader and hit option reboot bootloader few times. Then fastboot boot.img, then reboot bootloader a few times, reboot recovery, install elemental and had no problem with it anymore. So now I'm runing jb official, full rw.
[HTC One S] RCLRob:
AW: [KERNEL][Feb3]Elemental-S-JB-v2.5| Sense 4+ | OC | UV | ZRAM | intellidemand | FI

Ah ok. I'll try that as soon as I'm home again and report back here.
[HTC One S] RichardW1992:
The option for bus overclocking is within the Aroma installer when you flash the zip in recovery. The first thing it asks is if you wish to choose performance or stability, performance has L2 bus overclocking included.

Been using your kernel for a several days now and apart from CPU1 not sticking at 192Mhz, everything is working perfectly! I am eagerly looking forward to future updates, would love to see some more features such as s2w, mpdecision, thermal control, manual voltage control etc.

Thanks again for all you work!
[HTC One S] flar2:
I will say again: don't install the boot.img

See if it works without flashing a boot.img. Almost every ROM out there comes with a kernel that has init.d support. The boot.img is mostly for people on stock ROMs.

Second: If you must flash the boot.img, the installer will do it for you, even on newer hboot versions. The installer might pause for several minutes, be patient and let it finish. There is a special method developed by xHausx that will flash boot.img on any hboot.

Third: If you fastboot flash the boot.img, you must run the installer, it puts all the good stuff on your phone (kernel modules, configuration file and init script)

It's a simple mod, might even be able to do it with a module, but I don't implement this because I don't like messing with electrical stuff. There are too many different ways to charge these devices and I don't want anything to melt, blow up or catch fire.

Bus overclocking is still there, if you select "performance" in the installer L2 cache and bus frequencies are increased.

[HTC One S] flar2:
Configuration file is /etc/elementalx.conf

init script is /etc/init.d/99elementalx

Be careful editing /etc/init.d/99elementalx, and if you do, make sure it has execute permissions.

So are there any settings suggested to be (safe) also I have my cpu running different profiles using 'SetCPU' but when charging with the profile set to (Governor-Ondemand/384-1134-I-O-noop), it seems to go to sleep and not turn on in the morning without a manual reboot?

Thanks
[HTC One S] flar2:
The suggested safe settings are the defaults, and no overclocking apps, as they can interfere with the init script.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Any reasons you can think of that would cause my sleeping issue, other than that the kernel is AWESOME and very snappy with several profiles running also have you heard or seen any release day on HTC release of kernel scripts cuz I know the One X has had their's and there is a custom kernel out already for the One X plus I think your the one to give us the One S custom kernel?:good:

Thanks for this kernel.
[HTC One S] flar2:
I don't know what could be causing the sleep issue. I would go to the default settings and see if that helps. It could be something unrelated to the kernel, in which case full wipe and reinstall.

As for source, HTC doesn't give a timeframe for releases. They've released for the Tegra based One X and the One X+, but not the One XL, S or EVO LTE. Who knows when it will come out, could be tomorrow, could be next year. I'm not sure I'll do a full kernel for this device anyway, we'll see if it's necessary. showp has a One S now and will probably have you covered.

[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
AW: [KERNEL][Feb3]Elemental-S-JB-v2.5| Sense 4+ | OC | UV | ZRAM | intellidemand | FI

When I think back what a bloody headache it was for two guys (Zarboz with the kind help of showp I think) to re-write the s2w code for our quite useless button hardware I don't think this could ever be implemented into a module without editing the actual kernel source, which as you know we haven't even got yet.

The s2w Zarboz finally had in his kernel was pretty half-assed but the best it could ever be. Our button hardware cannot swipe-to-wake very well due to its design. Heavy code adjustments in the button related files inside the kernel where required. No-one has access to these kernel files yet.

Flar2, if you manage to pull off THAT, make s2w run via external kernel module you'll have my greatest respect :D

[HTC One S] mrluker:

It could be done with a module by hijacking a few kernel functions. I thought about tying it on my one xl, but I have doubts that it would be stable and thus not worth the effort.

I have installed but the installation abort, error 1, CWM recovery !
[HTC One S] DrRyder:
Tried this kernel on a couple ROMs, first ASBS 3.0, and now ViperROM 2.0.

I run it with the OC to 1.9, default max voltage, default min voltage, enabled zRam & NTFS support.

When I try to download a few apps at a time in the Play Store, the phone will do a hot restart, sometimes more than once, and sometimes it will just freeze and turn itself off for a full restart. The ROMs work fine on stock, but something in this kernel is what I suspect may be causing the issue. Possibly the voltage, because my phone can run 2.1 Ghz OC perfectly fine.

If there is something specific you need from me so you can look at this, let me know and I will try to get it. I'm pretty sure I could reproduce the problem. Also, in the future, could you release a build with 2.1 Ghz for those who can run it? I know there are quite a few people out there that would use it.

Thanks.

[HTC One S] sepsep 21:
hi flar2. can you enable gpu oc please
[HTC One S] Zer0r:
You have to reduce max CPU freq. That is the cause of your problems. It can run perfectly, but time to time you will have random reboots. This is because of too high CPU overclocking. It is you CPU's speciality. As you probably know - every single CPU is unique, some can handle high frequencies, some - not. That is why HTC sets it to 1,5GHz. Thats it, nothing more.
[HTC One S] flar2:
To add to the above, you can't overclock as high with the module as with a custom kernel.

Now that I've been working with the kernel source on the One XL, I actually think the frequencies in the module are wrong, and that they are higher than reported. So, selecting 1890 with the module might be like selecting 1998 with a custom kernel. Not sure though, just a suspicion.
[HTC One S] psylooooo:
But it seems works, I can choose cpu frequencies from 192MHz to 1890MHz

Anyway, thanks for your job and for your kernel :)
[HTC One S] DrRyder:
Ah I see...yeah its causing a lot of instability even using extra voltage and turning the OC down. My phone will work fine on a custom kernel that can overclock to 2.1, but this module overclock is breaking things. When the phone reboots, I end up losing all my text messages, some app icons disappear until I reboot again, and apps just close themselves out. Tried it with ASBS, ViperOneS, and Blackout JB+. Stock kernels all seem to work fine but I enjoy my overclock and better CPU/GPU control.

I think until the kernel itself can do OC'ing, I'll go back to CM10 or try out 10.1 and keep an eye out on this.

Also, I suggest increasing the zram swap file size. 99MB fills up fast on my device, not sure how it is for others.

It will be the same as teh stock kernel.

The way to see if it installed properly is to open the terminal and type

you should see a few modules loaded.

Otherwise, you could go into Kernel Tuner and see what CPU frequencies, governors and schedulers you have available. If it installed you will have intellidemand and fiops available.

I know this might be a really dumb question but this kernel isn't supposed to improve battery life, is it? I'm running the stock kernel on Viper 2.1 and battery life is great. I don't really need the 1700 Mhz that this ROM gives but does it actually improve battery life?

And if this ROM does somehow improve batter life over the stock kernel without underclocking, can someone tell me the settings or if I just use the default settings?

Thank you.
