HTC release the kernel source for sensation ? - HTC Sensation

http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-releases-kernel-source-for-8-devices_id24999
Does this help devs to build better Rom .
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

No, it doesn't help build a rom, it's kernel source.
Also, it's the same kernel source, just for different carriers.

from what ive seen, doesnt the kernal affect the battery life and the battery reading? will this be something that may help devs improve their kernals for the battery usage/readings?

Nope, it's the same source the devs had when the 2.3.4 code first went up, just under a different carrier.

bricked and faux kernel question ics

Hi, does anyone know if faux or bricked kernel builders are working on ICS kernel?I just loved their work on gingerbread
I think it's wrong thread, u should ask in Q&A. As far I know there is no source code so they can not work on it. SebastianFM has hex modified stock kernel for ICS builds.
Q & A should have been a better place to ask. I'm on SebastianFM for ICS 3.30.401.1 and is running smooth as hell.
My guess would be that these devs will create a kernel once the source is out officially. That's what I remember hearing n their threads a while back. Everything is looking like we should get an ics update by end of march. Let's hope..

No source code = no custom kernels (with the obvious exception of SebastianFM's hex edited ones)

Might be a dumb question but....

When the official ota is released will the ROMs be any smoother/different? I want to switch to stock Rom(sense eats up my battery) virtuous inquisition is only senseless. I want a completley stock Rom.... If so any idea of when this will happen? I love sense, just not the battery life

The official OTA has already been released, ROM's like ARHD 6.5 are based on it.
But the official ota is also only in certain areas right now, but there r some stock roms out there already. Just browse the development section
I know but I don't want sense... And most are just sensless though... The only true stock I've seen is virtous Quattro but its out dated

There is never going to be an official stock or AOSP ROM...

You do realize that ANY stock rom for Sensation will come with sense don't you??? I only ask cause you state sense eats the battery but stock will come with sense as well. Not to mention bloatware that will probably use some battery too.
If you are looking for battery saving stuff, you are better off with a modded rom from some dev here.
Actually rooted roms run way another and faster than stock roms since must if them are stripped of bloatware and other ram eating applications.

Yeah, which? I'd like t know... There are some, unfortunately they all come with something broken, I wouldn't consider them super stable yet! Correct me if I'm wrong but CyanogenMod isn't even available for the sensation! (I think I'm wrong.. I think it works but tons of bugs. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong!)
Senseless Roms don't count either
Sent from my insertcoined Sensation 4G with Beats Audio
You're confusing people with the terminology you're using. Official means from the manufacturer and stock just means untouched. With HTC being the manufacturer any official stock ROM will come with Sense.
The real point is when HTC release their ICS kernel source and drivers, then developers can really get to work and hopefully release fully-functional AOSP ROMs.
Ok sorry for the confusion..
I mean like a Rom that's ICS with no sense... But not a senseless Rom like inquisition...
Sent from my insertcoined Sensation 4G with Beats Audio
of course HTC won't release it OTA. Because they're always with their Sense. Maybe they will update to sense 4.0. but not to AOSP.
u can wait or try the avaiable CM9 though
Aosp = eggyenergy, TripNDroiD OS (on MoDaCo)

New To Sensation Development So...

Hey guys I just picked myself up a Sensation 4G (Not new to Android Dev.) so I was thinking about creating,my own custom rom but wasn't sure what the Sensation guys like in their roms. I came from the Huawei u8150 were getting CM9 to run without a gpu was a move from the lord. So far I have tried Stock, Insert Coin, and Android Revolution roms all were great but I like a little cyanogenmod in my life. Would you guys like a new CM9 build crossed with a few tweaks of mean and fixes I find. Is so vote for it. Also reply with what you, look for in a rom.
C'Mon Guys I need feedback
At least vote, i would prefer comments but 1 peanut is better than no peanuts

I will start the rom today and if all goes well, I can have an early release out by Saturday. At first it will probably be stock cm9 with a few tweaks but then I will see what I can do about theming.
A CM9 ROM will be awesome. Are you going to try to get it working by yourself? You could get together with the open sensation project guys and make more progress that way. Just a thought
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
Welcome to the Sensation boards, and thanks for asking for input. I'm not a sense hater by any means, but I ALWAYS go back to AOSP roms. CM9 and Open Sensation are compiled nicely, but for some reason make my phone heat.
So, any build compiled from source would be welcomed. Each phone is different, hopefully your build keeps mah phone cool.
AOSP ROM with a Sense Camera would be loved by many, I am sure.

Yea I thought about speaking to them about it but I figured since I am newer to the phone I could try to mess with it a little myself before I go messing with other peoples work.
There seems to be a good number of sense roms and cm9 roms out there... why not try something kinda out there?
like a port of an xperia rom (I think Xperia S has the same chipset) or samsung's? (I know there's an xperia-ish rom out there but i think it's just aokp with xperia mods and I think that Sony's UIX is pretty good and not bloaty).
just thinking out there... porting something like that might be too much.
i have already begun working on rom but i'll keep it in mind. thanks for the idea

He already released his rom? where is it as I cannot find it in the development section
I haven't had the time to make a thread for it I'm sorry. I've been taking finals and will be through next week. Though I will not stop working on roms. For now you can find the Rom in Rom manager. I try to post here when I get home

Difference between a sense and aosp bricked kernel

Is a Ics bricked kernel for sense or a nonsense Rom.a orc bricked kernel is a sense kernel correct?could someone please explain how to tell the differences.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
No, I saw Bricked only for Sense.
For the difference I do not know the exact changes. Probably in the driver files and settings for HTC made stuff.
Thanks that good to know so basically bricked kernels are only for sense roms.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Yes, correct. For more information visit: http://bricked.de/
That's not right I ran a bricked kernel on cm9 nightlies and that's a aosp Rom nonsense.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
This does not mean that you can not run CM9 with a sense kernel.
I ran CM7 with a sense kernel and vice versa on my desire - but that combination was causing issues and depending on ROM - freezes.
But for the Sensation it is a bit different - I remember CM9 with the stock ICS Sense kernel running, so maybe bricked is universal, you should ask the dev

The developer of the bricked kernel has yet to release an aosp kernel... So if you infact did flash his kernel on an aosp ics rom then it was either his aosp gb kernel, or his sense kernel! Either of which will likely not have full functionality! So you come here and asked questions and receive the answers and then tell us we are wrong...
I'm sorry I was not aware that you can run a sense bricked kernel on aosp roms sorry.and that's for the information.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Is it true that a Irc kernel is a sense kernel?what does Irc and gb bricked kernels stand for?and as of now bricked kernels are some what universal.

Attention kernel devs: 3.4.10

HTC just uploaded the Ville_C2 jelly bean kernel sources. For those that don't already know it is the One S with the sensations processor in it, the msm8x60.
http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/villec2-jb-crc-3.4.10-055bd56.zip
My repo is https://github.com/XirXes/pyramid-3.4.10
I don't have it compiling yet but it's quite the start. After we resolve any compile errors we need to port over the touch panel driver and our display.
Let the porting begin.
BTW lik doesn't work.
Then just go to HTC dev and grab the One S source for 3.17.401.102. It will have villec2 in the filename.
so,JB with sense4.5 for sensation will come soon,cheers
Actually that's jb with sense 4.5 not 5. 5 won't come until the ville gets sense 5

I'm pretty sure that even with the same processor, kernel source for another device is quite useless to us.
If I'm wrong someone with kernel dev'ing experience please tell me so!
EDIT: Even if I am wrong, my nexus 7 is only at 3.1.10, officially and on every custom kernel. I find it hard to believe 3.4.10 could get ported to the sensation without a very, very substantial amount of work and hackery.
Is this true?

Porting 3.4.10 code for the VilleC2 to the Sensation is very possible. The only reason why it's possible is because the Sensation and the VilleC2 have the same chipset. I've even built a kernel for the Sensation using VilleC2 source and it booted.

pretty cool. i tryed changing a bunch or refernces around from ville to pyramid but got a compile error pretty quick lol. someone else needs to do this heh
Has anyone identified if this version still uses pmem? Wouldn't it be wonderful if Qualcomm / HTC got ion together for us?!
Hey, a boy can dream...
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk 2
This definitely has ion. The 4.0.4 sources for the villec2 had it aswell. Also as a bonus this kernel may score us powered OTG. The stuff has always been there but was dissabled in the source due to hardware concerns. It doesn't require the charging chip we discussed in the otg thread. The 8660 has the ability on chip.

It's a Jelly Bean kernel so it HAS to use ION.
New kernel source ... New GPU drivers ... Bright future for the sensation! Let the porting begin!

if this can work in both devices, i am unable to know why HTC can't release for Sensation? This is an open abuse to customers like us for using old phone!
