so im new to the rooting and all that stuff, i flashed android revolution hd 3.0.1 but i honestly dont see any performance improvements. my software info says it is android revolution hd. and what about that o/c daemon? what is that and how to use it? thanks people.
The o/cdeamon is a overclocking tool. You can use it to overclock or underclock your processed/cpu on your Sensation. With this tool you can use the full 1.5ghz that the processor is capable of. I personaly am still running the stock ROM that came on my Sensation. I have not even S-offed my Sensation yet as to be honest I rather like the stock ROM for now and I want to give it a while just incase I run into any troubles with the device and need to do a warranty exchange.
Why flash 3.0.1? Newest 3.6.1 has native dual core support from faux123's kernel, and imo runs super smooth

Hi,
Are you sure you have version 3.0.1?
As I remember it,3.0.1 wasn't a very good release.
Please check my sig for the latest release which is 3.6.1 ,incorporating the faux123 0.1.9 kernel ,which is lightning quick.
The overclocking daemon tool is just a means of adjusting the speed of the processor from 1.2ghz to 1.5 ghz through to 1.78 ghz !!
There is also a guide on How to use O/C Daemon HERE
@T-Macgnolia
Hi,
Still on stock?
How long are you going to hang on to it?
You don't know what you're missing
You guys are awesome thanks for your replies! I flashed 3.0.1 because I guess I had an old link but I checked Xda and they have the 3.6.1 and I just flashed it. WOW now I notice how fats the phone is, I guess something wasn't right about 3.0.1 but 3.6.1 is amazing. The phone flies. Thanks again guys!
Dude trust me, you want to root your device. I didn't know anything about rooting and stuff I just started last night. Checked a couple videos on YouTube and use the revolutionary tools. It's honest
Y easy to do you just have to follow the instructions. If you're someone who likes stock sensation than the Android revolution HD will be perfect for you, visually there's no difference but the speed is not even comparable. Plus my battery is amazing in all honesty and the phone is over clock to his normal CPU clock a 1.5 Ghz instead of 1.2 on stock. So to recap
- exactly same screen, same menu and everything, just super smooth and fast ( trust me you will notice it)
- 1.5 ghz instead of 1.2 ghz
- much much much much better battery life.
You don't have anything to lose, everything to gain. Swagg!

Hi,
i recently bought a sensation and have rooted it
i need a good stable rom, nothing much fancy but fast
i have narrowed it down to two choices
Andriod Develpment HD 3.1.1
or
RCMix 234 v2.1
cause itll take ages for me to set the data up i need a stable one.
also i dont understand the CPU area of the two rooms
Andriod Develpment HD 3.1.1 says the cpu is controlled by O/C demon, is that both cpus are working together at screen on or just one.
RCMix 234 says that both cpus are on when screen is on and one is on when screen is off, nothing about O/C or anything.
both sound stable from the comments
any comments to clear this up would be great.
I used Android Revolution since 3.x.x and it was always fast and stable with good support. Bugs were fixed very fast because of the big community of this rom. At the moment I'm using Cm7 alpha but if I would go back to Sense I will choose ARHD again.
last ROM i had was 3.1.1 so I have no experience with 3.5.0
Well i think that Leedroid has a very stable and smooth rom that you can try out too. Been using Leedroid since i've rooted and am very pleased with it.

thanks for the replies
any idea on how the cpus work for each roms ?
im wondering if the ANHD rom is using both cpus at the same time and not when needed
I really think you should go with Android Revolution HD 3.1.1 i use it and its perfect its not that fancy but you can customize and add battery mods and stuff plus its really fast!!

CPU usage depends on the kernel except you use the dual core script by mike.
Faux kernel @ 1,67 works for me best with mikes ROM.
gone with andriod development hd 3.1.1
still setting it up, its taking soo long setting it up right.
ssh etc etc etc
anyway will extended quick setting from the insertcion rom work with this or does anyone know where i can find one for this rom ?
thats the last thing i need i think
The extendet quick settings from ARHD 2.x.x also working on 3.x.x.
You will find them in the second post of mikes thread under custom modifications.
I recommend InsertCoin 2.2.5 SSE, which is the fastest, most stable Sense-based Sensation rom I have used. Not flashy, a little eye candy with the CRT on and off animation being standard, but otherwise things are add-ons.
The others are good choices too, though. Can't really go wrong with either of them.
thanks everyone
I'm setting up android development hd 3.1.1 currently , its talking forever
today I see 3.5.1 is out :-(
prob wait for kernels 1.6 final rather than the beta then I may upgrade again
Use Sense until CM7 is out of alpha.
well I've gone with android development hd 3.1.1
just about finished with the apps and the passwords
prob stick with this as I don't listen to music much
shame sshdriod didn't start up, its cause of the adblocking
I had to use a different ssh
Done finally

hi all, im a super noob. this sensation was the first ever phone i rooted. and i currently just flashed a bricked kernel on here being that the original sense-o-maniac rom i had flashed wasnt overclocked. this new kernel allowed me to overclock cpu to over 1.8ghz.
i also have a tmobile sensation (currently using unlocked bell sensation) that i have laying around waiting for a buyer. & after i flashed the new kernel, i decided to do a speed test on both to compare the upgrade on my phone. i had both running on the same wifi & went to the same youtube video. & to my surprise, both phones ran at the exact same speed.
i was wondering why both phones was running at the same speed?? if i have an overclocked kernel on my phone, shouldnt my phone be running faster??
anyone out there can shed some light on this matter would be great. Im a noob so, any answer would be greatly appreciated. thanks for reading my post & have a great day!!

well simply put would be no...
You would have to install a cpu controller like oc daemon or set cpu to overclock your device in order to reach those speeds.
although even when you set it to max 1.8, or how ever much your device can handle (most 1.78, anything above that it crashes). it only means that your device will reach that speed max if needed, so is to not fry the brain. that doesnt mean at all that your device will be performing at that speed constantly. that would eat battery and probably a chip or two.
there is also the topic of govenors and how they effect your device performance.
and its all about the combination of rom + kernel that will ultimately show the improvements. some kernels will automatically slow a phone down to unusable speeds.
lets just say you were lucky to experience a compatible kernel with no side effects.
Has anyone used any kernels for HTC Sensation 4g (TMO US) above 1.566Ghz?
I am currently using a ROM by Mike1986 and kernel witch took my phone to 1.566Ghz and i am loving it.
However, i am a big OC freak and i would like some pointers on any tested kernels above 1.566Ghz, preferably that work well with Mike1986's ROM as i find them to be most stable our of all i have tried (i have tried 3 different types).
Any input is highly appreciated and welcome. Thanks team.

I honestly don't see the benefits except lower battery life and a warmer device, I doubt you'll notice the speed difference past like 1GHz. All of the higher freqs seem pretty much the same and aren't really worth the bother with, use a governor that accesses higher freqs quicker and you won't be needing high freqs.

What governor would you suggest??? also, i know that when using you phone and maybe even playing games i wouldn't see much of a difference between the stock 1.2 Ghz vs 1.5 or 1.9Ghz but it's all about the bragging rights, lol. I like to go to my geeky friends and slappin’ a higher clock frequency than they have on their poor devices or silly I Phones. Also I have to tell you from my tests I do see Mike1986’s latest 3.6.7/4.1.7 Rom using much less battery life than stock Rom. I have noticed about a 10% improvement, maybe even more.
Also i do see a big improvement in Benchmarks. When i was using stock 1.2Ghz setting i was benchmarking much lower than the 1,5Ghz i am at now.
Thanks again for the input.
The benefit of custom ROMS and kernels, is that they are optimized to run well. Unless the chef sucks, most big name ROMS are optimized and more efficient.
I was running 1.2ghz for a while and whenever I'm playing Snes roms it would FC. After bumping it up to 1.72ghz it never did it again. Although 1.72ghz may be overkill for what I use my phone for but everything seems to be running extremely smooth.

I use conservative(810/192), super charger v6, ultra smooth rosie on 4.1.6. I haven't used benches, but they'll be low on this ROM since I'm assuming it's based on the Sense 3.5 leak for sensation.

What Kernel is this? Can you provide a LINK?? thanks.
Thanks again to all for the imput.
Hi guys,
I am currently using Android Revolution HD 4.1.13 with the latest kernel from faux123 (029). It seems like my Sensation does not perform very well under undervolting condition and as I read the instruction from faux123, I should restore my phone to stock HTC voltage. The problem is that I don't really know what the stock voltage is. Anyone can tell me where I can find the stock configuration for the Sensation's stock voltage? Any help is deeply appreciated.
Which app are you using for undervolting, set cpu?
I mean, you should know how to stop undervolting since you suppose to be the person who modified the settings through a CPU app, isn't it?

I am using system tuner. I am using Android Revolution HD as well as faux123 kernel 029, and the undervolting comes together with this ROM and kernel. Thus, I am not the one undervolting my CPU, so I have no idea how the configuration for the stock voltage looks like.

If you want to change the cpu configuration manually, either clock or voltage, you will need SET CPU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
HOW to modify the setting its a little bit complicated to explain if you are new to it.
You should check which is the stock voltage value in the sensation thread, and simply set it to it.
Or you can flash a different kernel that runs a stock voltage.
By the way isn't it a bit old your version of Android Revolution HD (4.1.13)?:

I thought ARHD has OC Daemon included inside, so I won't need set CPU at all? I am actually quite new to this, so I am still reading up on it. Thanks for helping me. Btw, I haven't managed to find the stock voltage page yet.
ARHD is now moving to ICS, but the performance is not quite on par with Gingerbread, so I am staying with 4.1.13 instead of 6.5.0. On ARHD ICS, 1080p videos are quite laggy on my Sensation (youtube 1080p), while everything is butter smooth on Gingerbread. That's the main reason why I am staying with Gingerbread.
Since I don't have enough posts to post in Developer section, I cannot notify people of this problem with ARHD ICS. If you can help me make that post in ARHD thread, that would be awesome. Otherwise, I will just wait until I have enough posts to comment on developer threads.
If with OC daemon you can't modify the voltage, try with SETCPU, at least that was the recommendation of the developer in the Android REVOLUTION HD thread.
SET CPU has a very simple and clean interface, it should be easy for you to use.
Otherwise as I suggested you before, just try to flash another kernel.
In the worst case you can always flash another rom...
hi, I'm running android revolution, the rom works fine...during the flash 4ext ask me what kernel I want, if stock or 1.5ghz...
what do you think about? battery? cpu damage?
all softwares run very well, I don't think is necessary to set cpu at 1.5....but have more power is better XD
suggestions? can I use any software to set the cpu clock?
I'm using vi4.0 at 1.512ghz. I'm actually impressed with the 13-15 hours of text/call/video/music mid to high usage.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
but is better? more...reactive, speed?
I think 1.2Ghz is sufficient for a Sensation !
All games don't lag on 1.2Ghz..
I am also using ARHD 6.3 and overclocked to 1.83ghz. I did not notice a difference in battery life. But my phone is noticeably very fast! I am using "setcpu" apk.

You will notice a difference in speed and responsiveness! You can always try and if you don't think that it is worth the slightly reduced battery life you can always revert to stock! ( i'm running IC 5.11 on 1.5 GHz and i get 1.5 day with moderate to heavy usage ). Don't worry it is safe as the CPU of the sensation is meant to run at 1.5 GHz ( like the sensation XE )!
ok, I did it, works fine, very very responsive....that's good!....
but!....I want smartassv2!....smartass at least!...
here there are only default governors!
are there kernels compatible with android revolution?
and is not clear, setcpu works with dual core CPUs?

The source code for the 3.0 kernel isn't released yet, so all that can be done are hex edits. Because of this, only the default governors are availible.

The overclocked kernels are compatible with every ICS ROM.

SetCPU is compatible with dual core CPUs, however it turns core 2 permanently on. You can use System Tuner if you don't want this.
thanks a lot, any link or suggest for a good kernel?

SebasianFM is the only one who edits kernels for ICS so far.
I am currently on Sebastian's kernel clocked at 1612MHz and everything is just fine.. feel free to flash
I use his 1.78GHz kernel and its very fast, stable, and also has decent battery life.
