With latest beta I have sense reloading after close game or browser, don´t have this issue with previous with same settings.
[HTC Sensation] seandk:
I have noticed I have less free Ram and Minfile has disapeared, maybe It's related ?

I am back to rl17.5. Things I noticed on rl18.2b.

1. Battery drains faster

2. Phone seems slower

3. Worse Wifi reception, I lose connection once in a while in spots with good signal

I am not sure about these, but after one day of trying the beta I think 17.5 was much better. Thanks for the support and hard work android 1-7!
[HTC Sensation] bobatomix:
Strange, I don't have any!
[HTC Sensation] scanferr:
About the r18.2b, the phone seems smoother but battery drains way faster. Everything else is about the same, I guess.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
I had a few strange problems after upgrading from 17.5 with dynamic fsync and stock drivers to the 17.5 version with regular fsync and ville. I tried a re-install of the kernel, then of the ROM+kernel, but the problems persisted. The problems all went away when I did a complete re-install of the ROM + the kernel (including format of everything except the SD-card). It's drastic, and not something I like to do very often, but it seems to have resolved everything. There may have been issues with scripts that weren't be cleared up, or with permissions. Whatever the case, you might want to try that.
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
Phone didnt fall in to deep sleep in a new latest version and consume about 6% per hour, I test it over night, using better battery stats, awake all night, 0s deep sleep.

Seems like I am the only one without problems, lol... :laugh:

18b2 is working perfectly!
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
#3 is a placebo because I didn't touch WiFi.

It would seem that the LMK in Linux next loves to kill stuff :p that LMK isn't suitable for Sense ROMs I guess.
[HTC Sensation] bobatomix:
Same for me. We are two.
[HTC Sensation] jokheenz:
A day with 18b2.

I flash it twice before run my phone.

Battery live looks good so far,that was important to me.

But,i've got reboot once today.

Its about 200mb free on ram usage.

And i think v17.5 is faster then 18b.

The mp decesion before was far too better
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
How do you know that? The new mpdecision probably doesn't have the 1566MHz bug and it works better...
[HTC Sensation] seandk:
I think the problem is definitively the LMK

As I said before minfile has disapeared from /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters

I've install new version.Choose intellidemand and auto shutdown 2'nd core.But after few hours I noticed that 2'nd core always online.
[HTC Sensation] albiGib:
I can confirm this is happening to me too.
[HTC Sensation] scanferr:
I find this weird... I think Android OS(kernel) keeps wasting a lot of battery with the aroma version. Anyone facing the same problem?
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
Version?
[HTC Sensation] scanferr:
R17.5 and r18
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
In r18b2 phone didnt go to the deep sleep acording to Better Battery Stats - I have 0 seconds of deep sleep
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Apparently it's an Intellidemand bug.
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
But in changelog is nothing about intelidemand :confused:
[HTC Sensation] hanisod:
Good evening people

I have a question in mind but it's kind of stupid.

So this kernel is for sense based roms. But does it work with gingerbread :o ?

And especially the stock one?

And thank you.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Flash it again and try wiping cache and dalvik cache after you install it.
[HTC Sensation] Harbir:
Here is how I installed it and still not working

1 wipe everything

2 install fresh vipers from

3 install kernel

4 install hard swap

5. After reboot it sticks at HTC logo and reboot there by itself
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
I finished the AROMA installer

OMG, it took me 3 days to rewrite most of the things

I will test it tomorrow and fix possible errors -> it should take around 1 day or more

There are a whole bunch of scripts that I had to rewrite so bugs are inevitable => please forgive and report the bugs to me, I'll try to fix

I'm a single user so I can't test everything

this is the splash screen
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Don't install it after doing a fresh install of a ROM. Perhaps I should add this to the OP (I don't know why this happens).
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Hi axe,

Will your Powerful Kernel Reset do this automatically?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
yes but it will delete 99sultan-kernel script and you have to copy it again

only use it when you wanna switch to another kernel unless it would mess up some settings
[HTC Sensation] sepsep 21:
Finally battery last 15 hours for me and 50 percent remain with this kernel:):):)

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

The aroma installer will come with a new version of sultan kernel? Or r4.5
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
4.5

I'm testing now and I have fixed many bugs

I will also write some notes while using AROMA installer with viperS ROM because the venom tweaks will modify some configs of the aroma and makes them useless

now, I will a have rest, review for the exam. I'll continue to fix bugs later
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
@android1234567:

- Your kernel DOESN'T SUPPORT THESE: ~> it can't control GPU like Bricked kernel

echo 300 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/badass/gpu_semi_busy_threshold;
echo 250 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/badass/gpu_semi_busy_clr_threshold;
echo 750 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/badass/gpu_busy_threshold;
echo 600 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/badass/gpu_busy_clr_threshold;

- BUT it supports screen-off frequency

- After putting a script to config 2D GPU, we have to do a reboot to apply the change. It can't be changed either the script or kernel tuner. Doing a reboot and DONE
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Add that in anyway. I'll create a new release (r5) with the Badass GPU algorithms.
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
I think in the AROMA MOD, I'll make a script to delete 99sultan-kernel forever and replace by 69force which I and iba21 have used for a long time

if there are 99sultan + 69force => they may conflict

This aroma version, I combine 3 kernel mods in 1 single mod

if you wanna update some features to 99sultan => tell me, I'll add them to 69force
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I'll just remove 99sultan-kernel from the zip because I want this to be an installer, not a mod. Could you rename 69force to 99force? 99 has always worked best for me.
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
99z_kernel works the best. The same as Yank's aroma mod :cool:

if you want an installer, after I release the aroma mod, I'll give you another aroma package which I remove everything related to other kernels

P/s: I definitely get crazy because of the msm_mpdecision. it is a disater while running with mpdecision and also kernel tuner => bad combination

they will certainly make the phone reboot

while mpdecision is running, open the kernel tuner and tap in mpdecision menu -> it will ENABLE MSM_MPDECISION and they start conflicting

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
R5 with Aroma installer!

R5 has been released and it has an Aroma installer now! The installer is made from the AIO kernel mod but was modified by Axetilen and I for my kernel. I've also fixed quite a few errors that caused tweaks not to be applied when you used the AIO kernel mod, so if you had any problems with that mod, then when you install my kernel with the Aroma installer chances are you won't have any issues. The Aroma installer for my kernel also has an option to force both CPUs online! IF YOU LIKE THE AROMA INSTALLER THEN GO TO THIS THREAD http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1866127 AND THANK AXETILEN. WITHOUT HIM, THERE WOULD BE NO AROMA INSTALLER. Enjoy! And don't forget to give feedback!
[HTC Sensation] Dijkstra88:
You're right and it has a simple explanation for it. It's already integrated with kernel R17.5, so you wouldn't find it on the changelog with R18;)

I'm fully aware of that, just reporting my findings:D
[HTC Sensation] UndaTheFumDave:
Intellidemand

Not sure y but im using intellidemand and my phone goes in2 deep sleep and the second core comes on and goes off when its needed? So its weird that other ppl r reporting problems.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Hmm did you have mpdecision enabled?
[HTC Sensation] X46X:
Hey Android are you sure that 18b3 is 18b3? Because it say Beta2 and same in changelog in aroma

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Or use kernel tuner

And change the corresponding parameter in mpdecision :)
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I was REALLY tired and I didn't even plan on uploading a new build yesterday. I was, however, very careful to make sure that the file name is r18b3 and that it says r18b3 in kernel version.

Kernel tuner wouldn't let me set those settings so had 2 add that script
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
yes indeed

I've verified them and they are not sticking :/

[HTC Sensation] Jimmy4485:
So you know b2 worked fine for me.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Yeah it worked fine but the LMK in r18b2 murdered everything so Rosie kept reloading.

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Do you have mpdecision enabled or disabled?
[HTC Sensation] UndaTheFumDave:
M

Yeah mpdecision enabled as I said a few pages bck that the only thing I changed was when the second core kicks in and shuts down. I'm still a noob but could the problem be due 2 the new mpdecision as it looks like it was built 4 a quad core?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
It wasn't built for only quad core processors... I believe it automatically detects the number of cores and acts accordingly. I looked at it and it's correctly detecting that we have a dual core processor.
[HTC Sensation] UndaTheFumDave:
The only reason I said was in kernel tuner it picks up settings for 3rd and 4th core, and I found the setting for when the second core comes on and goes offline abit low, think it's something like the second core comes on around 30% and goes off when load drops below 5%? That y I changed it to 75% to 20%. But I done this on the original mpdecision 2 give me better battery

[HTC Sensation] yazzabo:
Always aprreciate your work!!

I have something to point of the new realise:

-the new mp-decision are strange because has lower threshold to activete cpu1 and also sometime seems that it never go offline after turning on

-badass governor speed cpu only to the second-freq while third and max clock are never reached!! ( I also try by reducing to min all the value of the badass governor!!)

(For those test I use kernel tuner and maybe it is that app that make mistake but I found that r18b3 has more battery usage!)
[HTC Sensation] rhishavphukan:
With the latest build, the phone battery life is a problem as I think the phone doesn't sleep. When I went to sleep it was 100% and woke up with 35%.

Congratulation for this release. It is faster, good battery consumption, finally all the bugs I had with bluetooth with unexpected disconnections are solved

:)
[HTC Sensation] UndaTheFumDave:
Iv attached the file all u do is flash it from recovery or extract it and copt it to system/etc and set permissions to 755 rwx,r-x,r-x. All iv done is modify Sultan init.post_boot.sh script to add the mpdecision settings. Now i dont know if it will help u but all i know is my phone sleeps and the second core comes on and goes off like it should. I use intellidemand with no problems. I do sometimes have problems with the second core not going offline but this is rare and i normally sort it by turning the phone off and removing the battery, But iv had this problem with all the governors and all the different kernels since gingerbread days? I will put up a log later showing that my phone sleeps and that the second core comes on and goes off like it should.
[HTC Sensation] UndaTheFumDave:
That what iv notice that the settings 4 the second core is way too low. That why iv changed mine and since then iv had no problems with the core coming on and going off like it should? Even with intellidemand

Then Bluetooth won't work in a lot of places for some people...
[HTC Sensation] redoano:
I just want to enable it on my phone, don't mean you to enable for everybody again. Is it possible to enable it with a fix on my phone? I cannot use newer versions of your kernel because I use sixaxis for hours a day :)

Edit : Or an option to enable sixaxis controller can be added to aroma if possible. Just a suggestion for your great kernel :)
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Sixaxis requires a completely different Bluetooth framework in the kernel, so I can't add an option to the aroma to make it work. I'll do some checking to see if there's a universal solution.

Hoping someone can clarify the "Powerful Kernel Reset" option in the installer.. I've done a few searches on it and I'm still unclear on when exactly it should be used. If I understand correctly it's used if I want to switch to a different kernel, and this option removes mods and scripts that Sultan creates, before flashing a different kernel?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
It removes scripts not only from my kernel but from many other kernels as well.

[HTC Sensation] alex6600:
Malibu I repeat..

Try r18 b3.With ondemand and intellidemand governors 2nd core never goes offline.

With badass governor, max freq=second phase freq, and no more.

What I doing wrong?

Ps. What about other governors? And how to change to smartass/etc?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Will look into that.

Use No-frills CPU Control from the Play Store to change governors. Enable mpdecision if you want your 2nd CPU core to go offline. As for Badass, I'll look into it.
[HTC Sensation] alex6600:
Mapdecision enabled in aroma...
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Then your 2nd core is probably going offline normally but you haven't seen it yet with the app you're using; I know for sure that my 2nd core has been going offline correctly...
[HTC Sensation] alex6600:
With other kernels, my software (quick system info) show freq, and online cores good...

With no-frills CPU control, and smartassv2, 2cores work on max freq always....

Maiby new mpdecision working not correctly? Some people in this thread gives same result.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
On r18b3 the new mpdecision is working fine... If the new mpdecision wasn't working then your 2nd core would either never turn off or never turn on with all governors and you would get many SODs and random reboots.
[HTC Sensation] alex6600:
Maybe mpdecision works with errors? Just install other kernel, and 2'nd core not always online with ondemand governor.

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Open a terminal, type su, hit enter, then type

insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

and hit enter. This will disappear after a reboot, so you will either have to make an init.d script to automatically insmod the TUN module or open a terminal and perform the above process again. I won't make TUN a module anymore in the next release; instead, TUN will be built into the kernel so you won't have to insmod the TUN module anymore.
