[Kernel] [GPL] Sense 2.6.32.21 OC/UV 1.51GHZ (CFS-Smartass-TUN)

This kernel is created specifically for sense roms It will more then likely not work in it current state on any AOSP based rom
Features
Overclocked to 1.51ghz and stable as ever (for most)
added in smartass and interactive cpu freq govs
added in TUN support
compiled v4l2 as modules
many more....
for a full list of changes check the commit log here
Quirks
Smartass wont scaled below 768mhz atm im looking into it stick with interactive for the best overall experience for now.

Awesome! I'll give my feedback as to how it is working.
I did notice once a governor is selected you have to reset your Mhz or it will stay on 806 max. Also this kernel doesnt want to work with OC widget at all but works fine with SetCPU. I've always liked OC widget a little more as it uses less battery than SetCPU.
Great work so far BC your the man. Been running this bad boy and havn't had a single reboot @ 1.5ghz. Though my battery is going quick for some reason, dont know why

This'll work on the stock Sense?

If you get random reboots, it means it's OCed a bit too high; just scale it back a bit and you'll be fine if that ever happens

Is this running at 1.5 all the time or does it throttle between ranges?
What is the default range?
Does the user have to do anything to enable or set the throttling?

As noted above, I'm new to OC'ing but I'm pretty sure you have to set it to the ranges you want via something like SetCPU or OS Monitor. I believe default is gonna stop at 800mhz unless you scale it up.

Use SetCPU and select the Mhz/governor you want to use. Each Governor "Throttles differently"

I don't want to push up around 1.5 until I'm sure this is more stable on my phone.

there no real need to have it running at such high freqs all the time mine is set at 245 min 1.31 max usually n got no lag what so ever
the higher speeds are more for gaming and cpu intensive applications

[KERNEL AOSP] Thalamus 2.6.35.14 mod

This kernel uses AOSP camera driver so it's most likely compatible only with Redux 2.0 (tested) and Oxygen (not tested)
Before you do anything- make a backup
It's my lame attempt (I'm a modder, not a dev) to get more battery life without loosing stability of original kernel.
Kernel is based on current thalamus 2.6.35.14 sources
What is changed (mod8):
-Vdd levels sysfs interface is back, this time seems to be stable
-default voltages for CPU clocks <700 MHz are lowered a bit- keep this in mind when playing with UV
-headphone volume boosted a little- needs to be tested
-more optimized compilation- kernel should use CPU in more efficient way (and kernel is 500 bytes smaller )
-big thanks to paul8944 for testing
What is changed (mod7):
-removed sysfs Vdd levels interface- it seems that it was responsible for instability and FC's in mod6
-USB transfer speed is higher (was ~800kB/s, now ~2MB/s for write operations)
What is changed (mod6):
-added sysfs Vdd levels interface- VDD_MIN is set to 800 mV, VDD_MAX to 1300 mV, step is 25 mV (this works fine with IncrediControl)
-available governors: ondemand, powersave, conservative, performance and smartassV2
-conservative governor is tweaked a little (should be a little less conservative)
-USB transfer speed tweak- needs testing
-other fixes
What is changed (mod5)
-lowered minimum cpu clock to 128 MHz
-more clock speeds are available up to 1113 MHz
-added smartass and smartassV2 governors
-tinyRCU replaced with preemtive tinyRCU
-enabled call recording (not tested)
-many other fixes and improvements mainly form ch33kybutt's and elevendroids' sources
Note about smartass governor- after longer period of inactivity you have to press Power button for about 2 seconds to wake up the phone
Installation:
-make a nandroid backup (just in case)
-put zip on SD card and flash in recovery, I suggest also wiping dalvik-cache (just in case)
Download:

thalamus 2.6.35.14 mod4 (128 MHz min cpu clock, default governors set, non-preemptive TinyRCU) md5: E7DD4637D8838A6E1A64E763C8A4D549
Kernel sources available on Github

I'll give it a try, seems good. I have one question and one suggestion:
the question is: what are the reasons to enable / disable the intermediate frequencies? I don't know if it can save battery, become more stable or what. But the original kernel with only 6 frequencies available works very fine for me
and the suggestion is to add the syscf interface for being able to change the voltages. It could save some battery life if our Desire stands it (mine does even at 800 mV )

i flashed mod5 over mod4, with the result of non working wifi, then switched back to mod4 -> turned wifi off (read your post in the redux2-thread, but i didn't use tb), flashed again, no wifi. now on mod4.

I was not satisfied with default cpu clock table
-128 MHz uses ~20 mA of current less than 245- it's about 10% saving for iddle not locked phone
-for me 691 MHz max clock is really enough for my needs, it was not available in stock version
-more speeds make governors able to better match cpu speed (and save some juice)
-there are some performance fans so why not enable also 1113?

Looking what caused this, I'm not sure if it's wlan driver or preemtive tinyRCU (not present in mod4)

It was wlan driver.

Apologies for this noob question as im a Desire HD user and spend all my time in there. But i installed MIUI rom on my brothers Desire yesterday. Will this kernel work with MIUI, which is an AOSP rom?

I never touched MIUI kernel so I can't tell.
MIUI framework is quite heavily modified, I can't tell if drivers included in Thalamus kernel will work with it or not

Yes it work! But without camera. MIUI needs the 720p camera drivers.

Does this kernel include the conservative governor? I think you mentioned somewhere you removed it.
I find the conservative governor perfect for a screen off profile, that governor would be a reason to try it.

Yes, conservative was removed. IMO smartass replaces it's functionality but it is not as laggy when raising cpu clock.

Too bad, with screen off laggy behaviour when raising the CPU-clock is exactly what I want.
With the conservative governor reaction to the power button is instant, smartass was really irritating me when pushing the power button the days I tried it.
I used setcpu with a screen off profile with conservative and ondemand with screen on (on gingervillain) which was just perfect.

I think that the best settings for a screen off profile is to use the same governor as with screen on (it takes a few seconds to change the governor so it can be a bit laggy)
I use ondemand 245/245 with screen off and ondemand 768/245 with screen on.
And of course, if min and max are the same value, it doesn't matter what governor you are using.

I use the FTP server with screen off, a script that functions as webserver to name two examples. So I need it to be possible for the CPU to be at more than minimal speed.

Then conservative should be a good option, but still thinking that there must be no much difference if you use ondemand.
I also don't like smartass

You're probably right, but isn't tweaking for 1% battery saving part of the fun?

So which governors do you think should be in kernel? I don't want to include all available

I couldn't agree more
I think that the most used governors are conservative, ondemand, interactive and smartass (don't know about the new governos: smartass2 and others)
But for me, having ondemand it's enough

Do you want a dedicated build?
So as for now governors will be ondemand, performance, conservative, powersave (even more conservative than conservative ) and smartass- more likely v2.
I plan to release mod6 when I'll implement SVS

Best settings for SetCpu in Htc Desire S

Can anyone tell best settings you guys are using in Set Cpu
Thankxx

Best in terms of speed, battery life?

best thing is not to overclock as this can reduce battery life, so i use 2 profiles in addition to the normal one which is 245-1024 scaling=interactive, the other two profiles are
245-768 at screen off scaling=conservative
245-368 at battery<16% scaling= conservative(u can try powersave but its too slow then)
hope this helps

i have little problem. even if i set intercative 245mhz-1ghz after one day or simply later it freeze at 245 mhz. phone is then very laggy and i have to change profile to get it to work again.

It's a bug. Use Ondemand instead.

yes probably a bug, never had this problem try changing the scaling or do a clean install again, but interactive is more cpu aggressive so it provides better performance

What about overlock
What is the scale to have it
What about
Sampling
Power bios
Thankssss

overclocking depends on the kernel you have installed, most of them have a max of 1.5 ghz("Safe" limit), but generally its not good to overclock for the battery and for the phone itself unless for a short time and you can use whatever scaling you feel appropriate.
as for the other questions , i have no idea about those

well i would recommend to adjust to 368 min, since most of the time the phone is on standby and 768 mhz are not needed on standby it will only consume your battery, but you can keep it the way it is if you feel that way

How to set fernel faux

Hello, I flashed ARHD 6.5.5 with faux kernel.
I want to know how to set this kernel with System Tuner or Faux Clock.
My smartphone is Sensation XE. Thanks
Actually is set:
max clock 1,512 ghz
min clock 192 mhz
governer on demand
global voltage 0mV
GPU IO Fraction 33

I don't understand your question. What do you want to set, the CPU frequency or the voltage?

Faux in its kernel thread write : "For frequency control and voltage adjustments use SystemTuner by 3C or FauxClock app by Romanbb". What it mean?What can i do with this apps?Can i get better performance setting this values?
Thanks

Hi,
With this app you can test different frequency from 1.52 to 1.8 Ghz.
You can see witch one is better for your usage and batterie life ...

It means you can overclock/underclock and undrevolt.
Overclocking can lead to better performance, unvolting may increase battery life a little.

Ok, but in your opinion which is the best combination?
What happens if i set the governer performance?i don't see any difference!

I'm still experimenting really, I leave it at 1.5GHz but I've undervolted by about 50 but haven't really noticed that much difference in battery life.
For governor I just stick to On Demand. Here's an explanation of governors: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369817

maybe is better if i keep the stock kernel
now i reflash with stock.
IMO to have a custom kernel with default setting have no sense!

Antutu and CPU guvernors.

Wanted to show difference between different CPU governors in Trckster Mode and how they affect performance. Note that phone is only slightly overclocked so this IS NOT competition.
First image is with CPU governor ON DEMAND
http://postimg.org/image/ntw6iyts7/
Second screenshot is same overclock ONLY change is that CPU governor is changed to INTERACTIVE
http://postimg.org/image/huxvhbjhv/
As you can see difference is rather big 1100 point in Antutu just by changing governor. Phone is on stock ROM with Phantom Kernel 4.5 overclocked to 1242 MHz. .
