to many kernals - HTC Sensation

hey guys i just need a little bit help here.
im new to the sensation
and i am running Bulletproof 2.2.1
and its very slow, and i even get a ****ty score on quadrant
and i see there are several kernals out there and i wanted to know witch ones are compatible with sense 3.5 bulletproof
and witch one is the best one. by best i mean faster overclocked
thanks in advance

You can try Faux or Bricked, both are great.

Faux 0.2.3 is out soon with a whole host of new features, I've found that I can't get Faux 1.89Ghz version to work (boot loops) but it may work for you. Due to this I use Bricked kernel and then I can overclock (if I want to) up to 1.72Ghz which seems to be the max for my chip!

Here's a really good kernel 2.6.35.14-Bricked-v 1.2-gpuoc 320-ondmnd [email protected] #6 this is what I use and It's awesome so far I've been useing this kernel for three days and It's lighting fast

I'm on BP also and while quadrant is low with stock, I've found stock kernel to be smooth and stable. Today I did flash bricked 1.4, and while my CF scores and quadrant went up significanty, I had lag on homescreens and games like asphalt 6 hd. I have no idea what the problem was. It could have been my Rom, or the way I flashed bricked kernel because I have read so many positives with using bricked.
I went back to stock kernel and all is smooth again, but with low benchmarking scores....
So I guess I'm saying take benchmark scores with a grain of salt. Although it would be nice to have my cake and it too.

whats you quadrant score? i flashed that kernal but i had problems with 3D and he said he fixed it on the latest version 1.4. and when i used setcpu my phone kept rebooting

I don't remember my quadrant score, but CF bench score was really high with bricked 1.4, above GS2.
Now back to stock kernel my CF bench is back to around 5000. Just under the atrix scores.
(But with stock I have no issues with with gameloft games, no lag in asphalt 6 hd.)
I will probably try again in the near future as it could have been user error on my part.

talking about games i havent be able to play them on any rom. some says its not supported and somes dont have the 3d graphics on them

Do the current kernels all have these problems? I would like to know this before I get this phone. And I noticed someone OC'd to 1.8GHz, is this to fix lag or just for fun? Such OC would lead me to question the Sensation's speed quite a bit. Sorry for hijacking the thread, didn't want to make a new one.

I am running CM7 SelfKang9, with Faux's AOSP 0.2 Kenrnel (1.78ghz OC) and undervolt (Thermal Patch). Everything is smooth as butter and battery life is beyond excellent (getting avg 6mA idle). If you're interested in benchmarks, I have gotten as high as a 6499 AnTuTu score, and a 7424 in CF bench. It does run fine at its rated speed of 1.5ghz, I'm just always gunning for that extra speed.
Edit: For Comparison, my friend has an Atrix, using CM 7.1 and Faux with a 1.3 ghz OC, and he was getting slightly slower benches (6000 AnTuTu). Although both phones run great.

I'm using pyramid3d 8.0.1 along with the bricked 1.2 kernel.
Runs perfect. No lags, and no other problems, although quadrant scores are really low. Quadrant really means nothing IMO.

Sense has a nice bug from HTC that affects Quad & other benches negatively, this can be fixed by using AOSP/CM/MIUI, I noticed this on my previous phones. I think HTC has some lingering debugging enabled in Sense.

Thanks for clearing things up for me, I was worried that the phone had speed issues and the OC was to fix that, now I'm not worried with that anymore. Hopefully I order mines next week, but I plan on undervolting & underclocking, just as I did on my MT4G. Although you benches have restored my confidence in the phone.

Your MT4G performance, and benchmarks.

Thought I would start a thread, where people can see how their MT4G stacks up against others. People can post their benchmarks and say what ROM they are running, where they have their processor clocked, etc....
Anyways, I attached my screens, I am running cm7... the benchmark test I just ran, was clocked at like 1.4GHz on cm7.
The quadrant is back when I was running an alpha, clocked at 1.2GHz
Best Quadrant Score seen so far: Unknown(Looks like CM7)
Best LinPack: Iced Glacier v1.1.6 OC at 1.7ghz
Best SmartBench: Cm7, OC at 1.3ghz
I don't have a pic but one time a month a go I was on miui and got 62 on linpack and 2900 on quadrant I was overclocked to 1.8ghz and managed to get a couple off before the phone froze up. You can see me on the high scores list on linpack website its Joe from bremerton

Impressive with factory MT4G. I get 1700-1800.
Most of these bench mark tools have not been updated to cm7 or 2.3 GB. Quadrant does not run well at all and some times show a black screen on 3D test, or locks up. Linpack seems to be working though.
Just FYI if you are using cm7 Android 2.3

Yea, but I thought benchmark 2011 or whatever the name is, was accepted as a more accurate marker..?
EDIT: SmartBench 2010 is what app I am talking about.
test was run at 1.6 and i stuck it in the freezer while running the test...
My phone is a taiwan version, with a good screen.
do you run quadrant back to back to get 1700-1800?
you should always toss the 1st one, as the processor isn't running at full speed ( at least i don't think so) because all tests after the initial one are always higher.
but the 2060 was my 2nd test after installing the app.
and too, that was like the only app i had installed at the time.
Hahah

I'm running CM 6.1.2 RC2 w/ Grankin's kernel.
Best Quadrant score I've got so far when overclocked to 1.8Ghz is 3114.
It runs stable but sucks the life out of the battery.
For every day use, I have it on 1.2Ghz.

my quadrant score : )
I'm getting 2390 on quadrant with my phone oc'd to 1.4ghz and running the latest version of Iced Glacier ROM. Zero freezing/reboots/lockups and decent battery life, decent battery life even with wifi/bluetooth/gps turned on and connected.

Anyone interested in seeing what the sensation would be like at 1.5ghz

well i was doing some searching and what i found was kind of promising. pantech released a phone with the same dula core qualcomm chipset and its called the sky vega racer. the phone is blazing fast so lets hope we get root soon and can get these babies oc and running to true potential
When we have root, we can do just about anything (G2/DZ was overclocked to 1.8 or even 1.9 GHz)
I am currently using Mike1986's 3.6.7 ROM and Kernel clocked my standard Sensation 4G from 1.211 Ghz (stock) to 1.566Ghz and it is running with out any issues. With Antutu Benchmark at stock 1.2Ghz i was doing around 4200 with it at 1.566Ghz best i was able to benchmark was 5992. Worth it.

ICS quadrant scores +GB comparison

Is it worth updating to the Ics right now..??
I mean is it stable now ??
And does it really have better adreno drivers- can it give better performance than GB ??
And how much quadrant score u guys are able to get from sensee with
1.)ICS
2.)GB

Quadrant is a very very very useless bench,, its to old and to crappy to run on dualcore phone's
to answer your question
yes it is stable, doesnt run very smooth,
some lag here and there but every thing else is working or there is a fix for,
CF-bench altough shows that it isnt the best and the fastest rom out there yet, but it is a stable beta release
flash it and you will see what i mean
I will say this much. On trips current beta ics rom, I get much more fps than I do on any gingerbread rom for sure. They all give me some kind of lag but the ICS rom is smooth as butter
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
I ran Virtuous for a while and it was pretty smooth. Now I am on TripNravers senseless ICS build and it is really smooth with next to no lag. O and Quadrant sucks. It is not very consistent and has not been updated in almost a year which means there is most likely no support for dual cores.
GB I got 25-28 fps with Nenamark2
Virtuous ICS I got 40-44 fps with Nenamark2
Trips senseless ICS I get 45-48 fps.
Trips ROM is not on xda but if you Google for TripNiCE HTC Pyramid you will find it.

How does it compare to his AOSP build? I put both ROMs on my SD Card but I flashed AOSP first, so far I love it but it isn't daily driver status for me. If the senseless one is almost as fast I'll give it a shot.

Quadrant scores don't mean much because if you undervolt the kernel you will get lower scores and vice versa. Further more quadrant scores are only useful for stock and unrooted phones

With a Sense 3.5 GB ROM? I read those include the updated Adreno drivers which is probably the reason behind the improved results.

Lousy Quadrant Score on CNA 1.5.5

Hey guys
I just installed Codename Android 1.5.5 + Matr1x Kernel 18.0 after using CM9 nightly 0304 + Matr1x Kernel 17.5 for a while. I used to run CNA 1.4 but stopped using that as it got very slow after a few hours.
The Quadrant score I was getting on CM9+Matr1x 17.5 was around 2000 with no overclock. Now that I am running CNA 1.5.5 + Matr1x 18.0 i'm only getting a score around 1100...
The ROM feels fine and snappy, but this low score worries me. Is this normal or does this maybe mean there's a problem somewhere?
Thanks!
I'm on same rom same kernel and overclocked to 1430 and only getting 1400s
Ok, so I guess this is normal...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
I am running 1.5.5, with Air Kernel 3.6, scary governor and overclocked to 1400, I scored around 2600 with this set up on Quadrant.
I tested the rom after flashing it and it scored it at 1100.
Oh I applied the BM tweaks from CNA utility as well
I am waiting to see how the ram holds up, 1.40 would drain after a few hours, as how the battery lasts, so far it is looking good on both of those items.
I haven't tried to many roms, I liked this one as son as I loaded it, loads all my apps from the market, seems very stable even with it overclocked.
I have read that Gingerbread is really stable and fast but I don't want to loose my native music.flac support on this rom. I have read that 4.04 and 4.05 will have better battery, I am hoping so, as I don't want to go backward to Gingerbread unless I have to.
I applied brain masters tweaks and went from around 1100 to 1800 with no overclock and the rom feels much better now. Now I'll just have to see about battery life but I'm a happy man at the moment

Quadrant score isn't everything. User experience is a lot more important than benchmarks.

You are absolutely right. I use the benchmark simply to measure how the rom is before I get a good feel for it. In this case it feels much better after the tweaks.

FULL ACK...!
I'm still using 1.4.0 with Air Kernel 3.6 and the supercharger script. I have insanely good performance though battery life has taken a hit over the last few days.
I would like to install BM's tweaks though I'm not sure which version goes with this particular ROM.
If you want higher Quadrant scores try the Trinity T144 kernels. But Quadrant Standard says nothing about the performance of the ROM.. it's just a score.
Yeah, quadrant score isn't everything. The ROM feels fine now but I'm getting the occational freeze requiring a battery pull. I've been running with no overclock but at the moment am running 100/1300 Lulzactive with no issues so far.
Battery life is not good though. I'm at about 50% after 7 hours on battery with light usage

I was made aware that it is not 2.2ghz and is actually 1.78ghz with false identification on actual speed, trip has been made aware of this whether he did it intentially or by accident.

so what exactly does this do for the performance of your phone? Is it just apps opening up faster and games a little better?
I understand the performance gains in cpu overclocking for computers in that you get faster encoding for videos, maybe a few more fps in gaming etc but how noticeable is doing an overclock for your phone?
Is it more of a just because you can or is there a real benefit to the user that they can notice?
A 30% overclock on your PC might give you 10-15% better performance but does that equate to similar improvements with a moving to 1.5 or 1.78ghz on your phone?

It's a balance there is only so much you can get out of the CPU in anything once it passes the threshold you get less from it more heat less life we are at 1.2 default I would say after 2.0 we won't get much more but a dead battery is 3 hrs I got mine at 1.1 I am good with battery vs power consumption
