[Q] ARHD 4.1.13 two days on - HTC Sensation

And im loving it. So much better than the stock ROM of the sensation z710e out of the box
Media player is better, i love the way the songs and albums expand so you can see what your looking for
Tho in the about phone section the cpu is still at 1.2ghz, i thought it was upped to 1.5ghz or am i mistaken?
Any ideas?

bumpity bump...

I think you have to look in Daemon controller for actual CPU speed set. I assume what you see is the hard coded default of the stock ROM.

This can be changed by adjusting the value in build prop using root explorer or similar.
system/build prop long press build prop and select open in text editor somewhere towards the bottom. Reboot and voila
This value can be changed to any value you like but doesn't reflect the actual value which can be ascertained using system tuner or similar.

aha!
So are you saying that it in the about phone section that it will still show up as 1.2ghz even tho its speed is 1.5?

Thanks
But..excuse me?

That's because ARHD v4 is the stock sensation ROM. If you flash the v3 one i.e. the Sensation XE one, it will show 1.5 ghz on the settings screen. Though you can always manually overclock the clock speed using apps like SetCPU. But then I guess it would be showing 1.2 ghz although the CPU clock is at a max speed of 1.5 Ghz due to the flashing of Sensation ROM which is presumed to be in the settings

No frills cpu control

Nice alternative to set cpu, has dropdown menus instead of sliders. Rockin nils business z with ziggys latest bfs no havs ocd to 1.114, it flies!

It is a very good App, Ive tested it for some time, even if you set your phone to a frequency that causes Kernel Panics/Crashes - and set it to boot. The App will see that the phone turned off improperly, and will reboot at stock frequency, and will have an icon in the status bar explaining.
Its very small, and does the job, and has a very small system footprint too!

Memory Optimisation Script

This is the best I've come across. MMS app, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Market, Maps and more all at once. Brilliant.
Posting it here as I know this is the busiest place. Move if it causes an issue.

Does it do the same thing as Zeppenlinrox's Supercharged scripts?
No, it seems to work better - I had with zeppelin's script about 50MB free ram, now I have 80MB...awesome - my phone works so much better without any performance decrease...
Trying it now. Do you recommend using it with hard to kill launcher setting? Or just return that to normal?
This script changes memfree and VM values although I do not fully understand what the script is doing.
I've been using it for a few days and I see no changes what-so-ever, good nor bad.

Well,i used the script with zeppelinrox' script and it seems they work brilliantly together:20-30mb more ram
I don't see how it clears up RAM without removing applications from it =/ .
Here works pretty well (and it's not a placebo effect)! The phone rurs better... everywhere! )
definately works. just test loading apps and switch between to see which stay open. you'll notice too there should be smoother overall performance, for example when resuming from sleep. ive also asked the guy directly and the lower frequency of android os ram cleanouts mean battery improvements. i find it for some reason better than zepplins.
i use 6.1 and have home and mms locked in mem and this script running. with no script/zepplins id be unable to watch a flash stream, answer a text and keep the flash vid running, with this i can, its great!

it removes certain apps after sleeping when in background i think. things like maps/nav/streams stay open though
Gaming wise this script fails, cut the rope hangs and is so laggy but on normal cronos gingerbrad its good.
Apart from that this script is amazing! Get 80mb free with 2 apps running (and keyboard and services!)

In overall it gives snappier performance on my stone with CGMM ROM.
I would like to try this script with MIUI 1.7.1. I flashed MIUI 1.7.1 before and got 4 reboots within an hour with all the apps sit inside the ext2 partition that cost 60Mb+ RAM. I'm not hoping multi-tasking on MIUI with this script. It will be already good enough if this script can help to run those 60Mb+ RAM background services without reboot on MIUI.
applied the script on FroyoMOD.No changes.

Apart from the aggressive minfree/lowmemory killer setting, they are all sysctl tweaks.
You can get those plus more in AOR's kernel tuning menu item.
In V8 SuperCharger, I will be using the best sysctl tweaks, 3g tweaks, io scheduler tweaks (noop) and tell android that the phone doesn't have a hard drive lol
I'll probably put in the SD card tweak with a user selectable value (pick from 1 to 3 or whatever)
That way, I don't have to assume what works best for the user and the user can screw with it lol
There's more, but I forget right now...

Well, I had stopped working on it because I kept on perfecting V6.
But it's functional with the user selectable colours and what I have added so far... the 3G TurboCharger (usually build.prop tweaks but I'm screwing with local.prop) and that Overclocker that we had discussed previously.
The Overclocker won't make the final though because it's not universally applicable but I will probably make a Milestone version that includes it or make a "Zeppelinrox's Milestone Toolbox" script lol
Oh yeah, I want to add something called "Lock 'n Load Apps"

Any Performance Booster?

Hey guys, I'm using the CM10 Rom right now and I was wondering if there was any ways to improve the performance of the Infuse. I checked geekbench and got a score of around the 330s. I tried the supercharger and things still seem quite slow, and often games lag and kill my battery.. Any help?

Install Scotts custom kernel and clock it to 1600mhz. Also, clean out all the unnecessary crap to make the ROM lighter. I typically look at what's loaded in memory to see what would be good to un-install with Titanium that is not needed.

I'm sorry, but I'm rather new. Where would I find this? I tried looking for it and I see no one labeled as Scott
Scott is the man who brought us cm10.
Look in the cm10 OP for the OC kernel and flash it on cwm.

The guy who makes CM10 available for the Infuse is named Scott. He means the OC kernel 3_1. It's in the OP. To overclock, (once you have flashed the ROM), go to Settings --> System --> Performance.
Use these settings under Processor:
1. CPU Govorner: SmartassV2
2. CPU Maximum: 1600 Mhz
3 CPU Minimum: 100 Mhz
4. Checkmark "Set On Boot"
Use these settings under I/O Scheduler:
1. IO Scheduler: NOOP
2. Checkmark "Set On Boot"
Use these settings under Memory Management:
1. Checkmark "Allow Purging of Assets"
2. Checkmark "Kernel Samepage Merging"
Use these settings under Surface Improvement:
1. Select radio button labled "Fix Color Banding and Blur Effect"
Exit settings by pressing "Back" until you get to homescreen.
Reset your device.
Enjoy a fast phone.
Don't ***** about battery life if you use these settings.

CM10 Performance settings + SetCPU

Although I love Instigator's Kernel, I believe that it is time to move on from the aging kernel code.
I have started to use the stock kernel with the Paranoid Android by gs2usr, but I wanted more options to my cpu usage so I got set cpu.
Now my question is, will set cpu interfere with the performance settings originally in CM10? I have set the setcpu governor to the same gorvernor in the performance settings. The addition I have is the profile at certain battery points. Did anyone experience anything that caused the app and the CM10 settings to interfere each other causing even more waste in battery?? (like putting teo anivirus software on one computer? )

Best option is to stick to the performance setting built into Cm10 because it's had all the correct paths on how to adjust the kernel properly .
I don't use set CPU anymore I now use system.tuner pro as an alternate that's it

From what I've been reading the performance module in cm10/aokp is still a bit iffy, but I do agree with the system tuner pro recommendations

[Q] Using multiple Kernel tweaking Apps

This may be sort of a noobish question but I was curious if using multiple apps for controlling kernel settings, in my case I am using both FKU & Trickster mod. I have the latest version of Franco's kernel flash (r32). I use both cause trickster has some options that FKU doesn't but I really like FKU's intergtayiong with system monitor and some of the kernel settings it has that trickster doesn't. I make sure that the settings for CPU min/max freq, volt, governor, IO schedule etc etc are set the to the same specs on each one. So is this OK to do, or will it cause issues with the kernel itself and/or my settings

What options does trickster have that franco doesn't?

Hi,
Should not have issues as long as you are sure that you have the same settings on both apps, like you do. For example don't set a different i/o scheduler or a different CPU governor in the two apps or it may conflict...
If you use mainly FKU, set it like you want then use TRickster Mod for the setting you want, no need to re-set the same settings in both apps (I don't know if I'm clear here ).
For example setup your CPU setting in FKU, let the CPU settings in Trickster Mod no need to re-apply them, it will just read the CPU settings from FKU...
Stuff like headphone volume boost which is good for me cause I am a active guitarist in a progressive metal band and am going deaf from playing shows lol
There's a few others. And a couple of the settings that they share I like better on trickster then fku and visa versa. By that i mean the way they allow you to change them is different on the two apps and I like the method better on one of them more so then the other sometimes. I'm weird like that I guess haha

I get what u mean. That's generally how I do it. But some settings dont seem to translate. Like voltage. I dropped the stock voltage by 25 In fku and dropped the max cpu freq a bit and the CPU freq translated over but the voltage setting didn't. So I had to change that manually.

When you use 2 apps, sometimes you change the settings in one and the other writes the settings back and they don't translate. I use 2 apps myself. Voltage is fine as it is only available in one of my apps, but governors are available in both ans although sometimes it translates, otehr times it overwrites so I have to manually change the values in both apps to ensure it sticks.

That happens with me sometimes too. So far so good tho. I had to manually change voltages tho like I said. The CPU freq translated over tho as well as governor and IO Scheduler.

I use the free version and I have the Voltage settings, so I am not sure why they are not showing up for you, especially since you are using the Donate version. You can always try out FKU, I have the paid version of that app, and it's great. Now that I have found settings I didn't know were on FKU, I only use that one. Not to say Trickster isn't great, cause it is, just comes down to preference in the end.

Are you running a custom kernel? If you're still running the stock kernel, you won't have those settings no matter which app you use.
Yes I'm running a custom kernel but I thought there was a way to undervolt all frequencies at the same time. I tried Fku and it's possibile but I haven't got screen features yet, I will change kernel. Thank you!

You are right about that, there could be some different, added or lost settings on app to app and also kernel to kernel. But using two applications can interfere each other, if you don't want this, you should be carefull about apply settings on boot option. You should choose one application to enable set on boot option and not in other application. At the end your device will open even you set on boot option in 2 apps but valid settings while device is running depends on which app grants superSU right fisrt or second.
