[Q] What's the best battery saver kernel for Sensation? - HTC Sensation

I'm using ARHD 6.8.0 and sebastianFM kernel. I set gpu frequency of 2d and 3d to lowest which is 200, but still when I play games it still drains as fast as when the 2d and 3d is set higher. I also set minimum cpu frequency to 192 and maximum to less than 1000 ghz but it still drains battery fast. By the way, I'm using Kernel Tuner App to tweak the kernel.
Is there a kernel with fastcharge enabled for sensation?
I want the kernel that's best both for gaming and browsing internet-wise.
Help me guys thanks.

Hi,
If you play games,you will use more battery,no ,matter what kernel you use.
Play games=more cpu=more battery.
FAUX KERNEL has fast charge capability.
SULTAN too

Oh I see. So I've read about Sultan. But what kernel of sultan to install? It's confusing there's Sultan Linaro, Sultan AOSP, Sultan Aroma etc.. What's the proper Sultan Kernel that I should use?? I'm on ARHD 6.8.0. Thanks

Hi,
I gave you the link for the "Sense" version of the kernel.

Oh Sorry haha. Because you helped me, I clicked the thanks button. So thanks

Btw, what's AROMA? should I download the one with AROMA or the one who don't have AROMA?

Hi,
Use the one "With" Aroma.
It just helps you with the installation.

Thanks a lot for the help

Make a full Nandroid backup first before you flash the Sultan kernel.
That way if you do something wrong in the installation and pick the wrong options in Aroma it's super easy to just revert and start over. (Though I think Sultan offers a "reset" option as well.) But still...you're doing something you'r enot familiar with so make a backup first.

The Powerful Kernel Reset included in my kernel's Aroma installer will erase init.d scripts left behind my many kernels (including my kernel) and it will then proceed to purely install my kernel with no init.d script included.

[Q] cm7 and setcpu? //kernel?

So I read setcpu is not necessary with cm7 since it's already implemented with the rom. I'm just wondering why some people still use setcpu with it, are there any benefits?
I'm running latest version of cm7 with stock kernel.
*I'm also wondering what kernels you all use with cm7?
SetCPU has way more features than CM7's built-in CPU Governor.
With SetCPU, you're able to set custom CPU profiles to lower CPU Usage In-Call, when the screen is off, or when the battery hits a certain percentage... etc.
You're also able to control undervoltage in SetCPU (If you're using a custom kernel)
Thank you, so I can run them both simultaneously or is it possible to close the built in one?

I don't think it's possible to remove the CM7 Governor, but you can just use SetCPU with no problems at all.
Are you using CM7 as well? What kernel are you running it with?

Just disable the 'set on boot' setting in the CM7 settings and enable 'set on boot' in setCPU

I'm running Nightly build 154 with Faux 0.4.2 with SV and DS battery driver...i get performance and great battery life. I use SETCpu and I've been OC'd @ 1.4 for about 3hrs now and my battery has only gone down 2% with mild texting and no overheating. My battery's temp has been constant at around 88-90 degrees.
If you're looking for the right Kernel...Faux's 0.4.2 with SV and DS battery driver is the way to go.

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

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

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!

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

What is a Good Kernel for ViperS 1.1.0 & How to change Kernel Settings?

Been flashing Custom Roms & Kernels insanely these few days trying to get the most perfect Custom Rom and Kernel. I have decided to use ViperS 1.1.0 as my main Custom Rom, I'm now deciding which Kernel best go with it and that's it, I can finally starting doing my stuff on my phone instead of searching for Roms and Kernels everyday to flash. Lol, after rooting my phone, I haven't like used it yet at all, all I did was looking for Custom Roms and Kernels to flash to find which best for me.....
Well anyway, can a ViperS 1.1.0 user please tell me which Kernel is good? I'm looking for a Kernel that has good battery life and a bit good performance. I have tried many Kernels but can't notice the difference between them.
Also how would I change the Kernel's settings? Like if I want to change the Governor, how would I change it?
Thanks in advanced! I'm kinda new to Kernels.
Here's a good one its Sebastian Fm #1 and there's mod that you can download for it also and it is kick ass http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424345

Yeah, I've seen many people say that Sebastian's kernel is best for ViperS 1.1.0. But when I download Sebastian's kernel and install it, it doesn't have an installer for me to choose options from? It just installs it and that's it, how would I like change the settings for it?
You can use a mod that goes with the Sebastian kernel, this is what I did. Its supposed to help battery life. Check out the mods and you will find it. Best wishes.

As some people already said, Sebastian`s kernel is very good. His kernel + as much Undervoltage as is stable for your phone should make a good performance with good battery life I`m plaaying Dead Trigger with Tegra effects enabled, and no lags with -75mV, but you need to find out what UV level is good and stable for you
and BTW guys, what mods are you talking about? I looked at his thread and didn`t find any mods. Do you mean that OC and ZRAM or there are any other mods?

For kernel settings such as govs and uv, you can use an app such as system tuner. It allows you to change a multitude of kernel settings, including clock speed.
sebastian fm is good kernel... +1
I am talking about all from my signature
Sebastians kernel doesnt offer any options to choose as I know.
The same with MOD Take Control - but you may change some things by System Tuner app.
There is a link to a MOD for seb's kernel in the viper thread, posted not so long ago. It allows you to change a whole bunch of stuff for his kernel such as uv and even second phase frequencies. It's a seperate zip you flash after flashing the kernel itself.

CM9.1 default kernel change or overlocking

Hi guys,
I'm very noob with Sensation, spent two nights for FAQ's, guides, etc. anyhow, still need help...
I've flashed recent CM9.1. Noticed default kernel (shipped with CM) is not overlocked and has 1.2MHz. Also noticed it has low benchmark results on Quadrant.
Then I've updated kernel with recent Faux v008, as it has a lot of positive feedbacks. Now able to overlock (didn't modified anything, just left with defaults) and benchmarks dramatically increased. So I was happy. Till yesterday when noticed it's not possible to connect phone to PC as USB drive. On forums found some similar reports with complains that this happening after kernel change.
Now questions:
1. is it possible to revert back default kernel which shipped with CM9.1 without full ROM update? (I've already configured/installed tons of apps)
2. is it possible to overlock default kernel which shipped with CM9.1?
3. is there any kernel which already overlocked and definitely compatible with CM9.1?
Faux v008 kernel is not compatible with AOSP roms.
1. Flash the zip file without wiping.
2. Its in the settings. Scroll down for performance and then processor
3. You can try Tamcore kernel. http://files.tamcore.eu/android/

Doesn't same CM9.1 zip is flashed both to Sensation and Sensation XE? Does it mean that XE also has 1.2MHz with stock CM9? Or there is some additional info (about default clock/voltage settings) somewhere out of ROM (in EEPROM?)?

Thanks a lot! I've installed it and now USB storage has been fixed.
Performance of TamCore is not so good as on Faux, but in principle not so bad (much better than stock one): overlocked CPU (up to 1.52MHz) and GPU (3D up to 320MHz, 2D up to 266MHz ), enabled ZRAM, and badass ('balanced' plan).
Quadrant score:
TamCore: ~2800
Faux: >3100
stock kernel: ~2200

Both that's kernels v5 and v6 OC the tegra3 to 650MHz dynamically. Hunds kernel works with his app so you can set the limit yourself. All are included in the installers. :good:

Yes select hunds kernel during install or use my kernel installer. Then use the hunds app to control the gpu. I include the latest version.

noted with thx. so, i try search hund kernel with OOM setting because sometimes still a bit laggy when scolling pages even not playing the device whole day. so, i think maybe the OOM was set to standard? do u have any advices how to set OOM value to max? sometimes i need kill the apps by ATK before the device running smooth, i saw "tegra overclock came with OOM", that's y i wanna try it on my device...
