SebastianFM or Faux123 kernal?!

Well I'm a little confused with these kernels, I have tried using both kernels with ARHD and the only one that seems to work correctly is the SebastianFM. The fuax123 kernel just keeps my phones CPU cores both at 1.51ghz, without any intelidemand governors, also, regarding RAM management, which one is the best between the two?
If anyone understands why the fuax123 kernel is acting weird, please clarify cause I'm stumpted,
Thanks a lot!

They are both great kernels I used bricked kernel myself but used to use Sebastian kernel for a long time just try them both for a week see what you like the best

faux shouldn't be forcing both cores online, especially with his newer intellidemand tweaks. You can read his explanation on his thread. Which version of faux are you using? There was also a problem reported by some ARHD users that faux came with ondemand by default when they flashed the ROM. Reflashing the kernel should correct that.
I've used both kernels and both are fine for me, although different phones seem to prefer different kernels. It also depends on your usage pattern. As mike1986. himself says, if you're happy with your kernel, then don't change it.

Im actually having that very same problem of my governor being on "ondemand", how shall I reinstall the kernal, do I download faux's kernal from his forum or reinstalls ARHD and install the kernel given their during the installation process.
Thanks!

You can download the kernel from faux thread...and can flash it just like flashing Rom/any mod.....flashing kernel via Rom will give you the same results again....
Also if you just want to change the govener you can install system tuner to change it to intellidemand governer and apply the changes in system tuner to keep it for every reboot

Thanks for your fast reply!
I'll reinstall that kernal,
I don't want to install system tuner and need to have it always running in the background for the cpu to be in intellidemand, that's why I want the kernel to do it automatically,
but ill try and flash the kernal again,
thank you!

try bricked kernel
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

Bricked Rocks , u should give it a try show-p kernel wid new badass governer

I tryed each kernel, and i had a problem with the first flashing of each one, dunno why!
i had to reflash always twice time, and at the second time everything were good.
i'm now holding Faux kernel, i think is awsome, let have a look at my attachments to see my battery usage with intellidemand..
bricked one is good too, as all the other users told u...TRY'EM ALL!
Lollaz

I have used Sebastian kernel for weeks. Tried also faux. I had my best experience with bricked on ARHD 6.6.3.

Best for sense 3.6 is Faux kernel

Well I've now tried Faux123 for a few days and my battery life has been drained, right now, at day 3 of having faux, I'm at 46% battery with 9 hours and 33 minutes of usage, though with SebastianFM I got like one and a half days, solid, If I was bothered I'd upload a picture showing my phone lasting for 1 day and a few hours with Sebastian. Dunno why but battery life/smooth phone really contradicts itself :/
What's a bricked kernel? I've always been hearing about it but don't entirely understand what it is, sorry but I'm kind of new to this whole kernel thing

[KERNEL] Overclocked kernel compiled from source

Attached is a quick compile of the newly released kernel source.
The only thing I have changed so far is to add 3 overclocked frequencies.
source is here:
https://github.com/dzo/kernel_ville
Flash it from CWM version 5.8.3.1 or later
It boots at 1.8GHz

Does wifi work alright with this?

This is for Eu one s?

Flashed on BlackDragon v5.0 with DualCore Mod already in place...now o/c'ed at 1.8GHz. Thanks for the (extremely quick!!!) work, mate!!

On trickdroid 3.0 us, just flashed zip and am over locked and ready to rumble.

I was/am on my wifi connection all day, and it had no effect on connection after flash. I have data turned off when I'm in the house (since it's so spotty anyway and I pay for the wifi). I think you're safe.

How's the battery life after flashing?

For me, I would like this kernel in the future, implement some other CPU governors such as SmartassV2 or Savedgen etc. Also, some more I/O schduler such as VR or simple or SIO.
And please overclock the GPU!

I think that one most important mod is overclock and undervolt and later custom governor and I/O scheduler!

hi, kenrel doe not work for CM9...i think it is the boot img...

CM9 is different to stock.... wouldn't work
Sent from my HTC One S

you where quick there... didn't think you had already done a kernel from source. Thank you for that work.
I am sorry but for me the Kernel does not show more frequencies in SetCPU.
I am running Leedroid 2.1 on an EU phone with htcdev unlock and cid changed to htc germany.
The kernel installed without errors trying both CWM 5.8.3.1 Touch and no Touch.
It simply does not go above 1512 Mhz.
Ideas?

It'll be the initrd, take the CM9 boot.img and replace the kernel in it with the one in my boot.img using abootimg.

What kernel version does it report, it should say 3.0.8-g8bd784d [email protected] If not, it hasn't flashed correctly.
Try booting or installing it using fastboot instead.

OK you are right apparently it didnt install correctly. Kernel reports 3.0.8-01136-g9d2ad31 [email protected]#1.

[EDIT]
Nevermind. Used LeeDroid's boot image flasher to learn the commands. Thanks for your work. Kernel is working good. Will no observe its impact on battery drain and performance.

[Q] Undervolting with Cyanogenmod 9 which Kernel?

Hey everyone,
can anyone tell me what I need to do, to undervolt my sensation with cyanogenmod 9 rc1? I read that I need an other kernel, but which kernel should I use? And what do I need to flash it? Is it enough to flash it like roms with 4ext touch recovery?

with the original cyanogen 9 kernel its unpossible to undervolt. neither with setcpu nor with system tuner i can see a voltage option

Yes you do flash kernels like roms.

Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269247
To change voltages use System Tuner.

sorry for my late response but in the last days i had to much to do.
now i will try the kernel from tamcore (http://files.tamcore.eu/android/?dir=tamcore-kernel) because he is a german developer and its based on the faux123 kernel so the undervolting works.
and now i will try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743055 because it looks easier than system tuner. i hate this ugly app -.-
but thanks anyway =)

I'm sorry buddy I'm still learning myself.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app

I would still prefer system tuner, because you won't have to flash stuff all the time to test it out.

@Mesaman2012 why do you say sorry? you helped me how i can flash the kernel
@ridder215215 yeah it is circular with the undervoltage flash script but i find its easier than the ugly and unclear system tuner ^^ and i don't need to install an additional app =)
now my sensation has CM9 RC1 with Tamcores Kernel, it is undervolted and its stable =) so i think this thread can closed

**OBSOLETE** NO LONGER SUPPORTED [KERNEL][S4] Fusion Kernel v1.1 (7/18/12)

Fusion Kernel for the One S (S4)
Lastest Version: v1.1 (7/18/12)​
This kernel is no longer supported. I have completely re-based from scratch and released a new kernel, Fusion Ultimate. Please check it out.
Thanks for all the support.
This is a kernel based off of the lastest US T-Mobile sources that just released.
It is compatible with all One S's with an S4 processor.
*Disclaimer*
Code:
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device.
By using this you are taking full responsibility blah blah blah....
...you get the point
As there are many people working on ROMs for the One S, I have decided to start maintaining a custom kernel for it. Again, this is based off of the TMOUS kernel sources that just released a few days ago. I will add more and more features to it for new releases. Note that this is only compatible with stock Sense-based ROMs, not AOSP-based ROMs like CM9 or AOKP. Maybe in the future I will create an AOSP version. Enjoy
v1.0 (Initial Release)
- Based off the T-Mobile US kernel sources
- All features from mdeejay's latest virtuous kernel
- Overclocked to 2.1Ghz by default --> use SetCpu or similar app to change
- Added SmartassV2 governor (gives extraordinary battery life and performance, look here)
- tweaked SmartassV2 frequencies for better compatibility
- insecure kernel (root in adb)
v1.1
- Fixed CPU issues from virtuous kernel (hopefully)
- Enabled init.d scripts support with busybox run-parts
- Reverted to stock GPU 2D and 3D frequencies
- CPU now default 1.5Ghz
- SmartassV2 as default governor
- make CPU1 (second core) to be online
- good battery life

The zip packages are named with the date of their release.
v1.0 (boot-071712.img): http://d-h.st/vtX
v1.1 (boot-071812.zip): http://d-h.st/jsd
How to install:
Flash the zips with TWRP recovery.
Kernels will be in zips now. The reason is because some stock patch scripts from /system/etc were interfering with the CPU frequency settings, hence some the issues from Virtuous kernel. The zips flash the patch scripts as well as the kernel.

Klin. Do you know if with this kernel there's issues controlling the CPU? Like for example down scaling the speed for both cores or having the governors activate on both cores? I've had that issue before.

What he means is do the clock settings stick after reboot. In virtuous kernel it went back to Max from boot and the settings had to be set again.

That was one problem. Some people, myself included, also had an issue where the kernel settings were only applied to CPU0. CPU1 would stay at whatever the kernel's default min/max speeds were regardless of the settings in SetCPU (or any other cpu app for that matter).
