There is no best Rom/Kernel - HTC Sensation

When people ask hey what's the best kernel for my sensation ...well my friend there is no answer to that, but in my opinion (i have tried all kernels Pyd-x,bricked,sebFm,faux123,sultan,except trinity & few more) I think my favorites are (in order) also I tried all for a week or 2.
1.sebsatianFm-purely because it's slick and fast, never crashes.
2.Bricked-Near enough no problems but there is some lagg during the opening of app drawer, expansion of notification bar.
3.faux123-this is a good kernel as it lets you do a whole bunch of customization but rarely it will crash, other than that perfect.
4.Pyd-x (non-bootloop)-this kernel is intresting because its a kernel that's quite smooth although some laggy scrolling and but this is the non bootloop version, the actual kernel I like to call it 'Pyd-x with bootloop' has many bootloops (a bit obvious)
5.sultan kernel-Wow! Did you see this coming sultan this low well yes unfortunately it's very smooth (smooth as bricked) but the kernel tends to drop frequencies quite a lot (meaning the frequencies do not stay a the frequency you wish) and as soon as the phone gets hot it boot loops
Hope this helps it bit guys

Did you use the exact same settings across all the kernels? If so, what were your settings (i.e. governor, max freq, min freq, etc.)?

All at 1566mhz and all at on-demand and deadline to make it fair

Google for " Kernel pyramid-ics-crc-3.0.16-31a4fc7-1188Mhz_max " it will lead you to Mikhei777 ROM page.
There you'll find an Android_4.0.4_Sense_4.x_Kernel_Update_v5.zip (sorry, cannot post direct links yet)
This is an optimized stock HTC kernel and actually has a great performance/battery life on his own version of JB rom w/Sence 4.1. (never tried on other Sence ROMs).
This ROM is not quite as customizable as ViperS or Elegencia but is very close to what you'd expect from HTC if it was an official update. And it actually feels like a real deal too.
Check it out!

Update: sultan kernel 16.5 now I would put it second, it's fast and never crashes.

Revolution HD: ICS vs. Sense and recent releases

I'm trying to avoid having to read through 50,000 posts because the ARHD thread has gotten a bit unweildy...
I'm currently running ARHD 3.6.5.
As you can tell it's been a while since updating and honestly I was waiting around for a stable ICS remix.
At any rate can anyone clue me in on where the scene is at? I see there's different versions of ICS available for ARHD; are they worth while, daily drivers or should I just update my sense ARHD to the current version?
mike1986 said that the current base used for 6.2.1 XE might be close to final. I'm using 6.2.1 XE as a daily driver, without issues.
If you flash this ROM make sure you also flash the correct firmware.
Thanks for the reply.
Did you install the 1.2 or 1.5Ghz version and/or is there a noticeable difference in performance AND battery life? I'm more interested in battery honestly. I'm not much of a power user and I don't stream or watch videos on this really.
Also, is a Super Wipe necessary?

Definitely if you're coming from Gingerbread.
Battery life on ICS sense is amazing for me compared to GB literaly get almost double the batterylife . It sucks though cuz I feel that sense 3.0 is way smoother and faster so I switched back till a new leak is released. Everyone says that sense 3.6 is faster and smoother than 3.0 though :/

The processor is being overworked for some reason. Also, SetCPU causes problems with Faux's kernel, you really shouldn't use it...that could be part of the problem. Another part is that you are lowering the device's max CPU threshold, which means it takes longer for your phone to carry out simple tasks. For a different CPU controller try No-frills CPU instead.
Yes, SetCPU is for SebastianFM Kernel ... and works very well ...
Try to flash again with SebastianFM option during install, for me work very well with or without SetCPU settings ...

Great! After No-frills is installed, the temp gets back to 30C. However the temp really is higher than stock Kernel. Is it normal?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA
I wouldnt worry too much about that, 30C isnt too hot.. The phone is bound to heat up if you are playing with the CPU speeds. Plus running a custom Kernel, And even a case can keep the heat in..
Providing it doesnt get hot to the touch you should be fine.

I worry about it because some energy loses to surrounding through heat, thus battery drains much faster.

40 is still normal. But if it worries you too much. Try sebastians 1.30.2 1.512ghz kernel. You can use setcpu to clock it down to like 1ghz or 1.2 and see if it works for you.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4
The processor in the Sensation is the same one that is in the Amaze. This processor is designed for 1.512GHz. On the Sensation, HTC underclocked the processor to 1.2. Increasing the clock back to 1.512GHz is not a true over clock, it is restoring what the processor is designed for.
go into power or battery I don't remember... then uncheck fast boot
and use system tuner instead

The only time you should be worried about the device is when it gets between 50-60C/122-140F. Even then it still isn't high enough of a temperature to harm the device.
XE and Sensation uses the same CPU?!! Got it
I flashed a new kernel-Faux123 ~
How to use system tuner? it sounds difficult..
Have you installed it yet? Everything is pretty much self-explanatory. Undervolting also help the cpu run cooler. Mine is undervolted -100mV. Very stable.
Installed
After I adjust the voltage in system turner, then...hand & restart.
1000mV for 1.51GHz, ok?
New problem found!
The fauxclock always gives a error message after adjustment...even underclock.

Will putting a ROM on make this phone better?

I'm a bit unimpressed with this phone, (Sensation XE) Sense crashes often when you press the home button and goes through the process of re springing etc, If I hold the phone at the bottom cell signal disappears, if I hold it at the top wifi disappears, battery life is poor, it struggles to last a day and in general use for a phone with 1.5ghz dual core process and 768mb ram it feels sluggish for some reason, RAM is also almost full all the time even when I kill everything. I get the impression is can't handle sense 3.6, My old Desire felt much quicker, and the SGS2 blows this out of the water. I am not rooted or anything at the moment, just running ICS and 3.6, It shipped with ICS so don't know what GB was like on this device. In quadrant I can't even get 2000, most I have seen is 1900, my SGS2 gets 3200+
Would a rom make this phone better or is eBay the best option.
Fot real. Stock ICS is pretty rubbish. Stick an Anker innit and load up ARHD. If u get rid of Sense it will free up RAM. ARHD also have pption when installing to keep Launcher in Memory if RAM is maxed out.
Load up Faux, SebastianFM or, my fav, Bricked kernel to get optimized CPU processing.
This should make ur phone twice better.
Beamed from my Senny..
Stock can be a nightmare sometimes. Let it be known a few things though:
1) A new rom won't help your reception issues. Sorry
2) Quadrant scores do not reflect real-world performance and should be ignored. My Senny's faster than my friend's GNex (AOKP) and my other friend's SGSII (Stock) but the quadrant scores say otherwise.
3) The Sense launcher dying thing is always fixed when installing a custom rom. It comes from carriers (and HTC) bloating up the OS too much and the launcher being killed to keep room for applications open. Most custom roms will force the launcher in the memory, circumventing the issue.
That being said, "root it, flash it, enjoy it".
Yes! My crashing stopped never to return again after I rooted s off and installed custom rom. I am totally convinced that custom Roms can be far more stable than stock Roms! Never have I once had the restarting issue on custom rom. You will see the difference immediately.

i couldn't go back to sense.
I'm going to be the one to go against the grain here...
If you don't like a device to begin with then I don't think a new rom will make you love it. You may find it tolerable, but in the end you will most likely be dissapointed overall.
You're best off finding a device that you really like, and then improving upon it...
Grogg is likely correct, if you don't like it now, you'll probably still be unhappy with whatever you do to it. Best to sell it and get something that makes You happy. Everyone is different with different opinions and tastes . As for me, I LOVE my device and truly enjoy modifying it in different ways. I'm very interested in this kind of thing but others might see that differently.so yes It's best just to find something you like. Good luck and hope you find something your happy with!

Well before selling your device you loose nothing to give it a try a custom rom !
I remember i hated stock gb to death and was a little bit deceived by my purchase but i did flash a custom rom and honestly im keeping this phone until my contract ends...

Ok thought I would update this, I spent the weekend making it S-OFF and installing ORDroid 9.
The phone still feels like its struggling, Quadrant only shows slightly over 2000, the Desire HD gets higher and its single core.
WiFi reception now seems a bit better, but cell reception is still very poor, No signal most of the time at home, most other phones I've had give 2 bars min.
And battery life is still shockingly bad, 10% per hour in stand by, and in 10 mins setting it up etc I lost 10%.
Not sure what to try now, I think Sense 3.6/4 may be a factor here. The phone struggles with it.
Strange because here is my last quardent test on ordroid as you can see its in the 4,000's what kernel are you running? I'm using same Rom and look at my score? You say you scored a 2,000? This is the same Rom but twice the score? Perhaps it's the kernel? I'm running bricked kernel.no problems here in fact I'm number two in the quadrant. Not bad... [ ATTACH]1136354[/ATTACH]

I have numerous apps installed on mine and it still scored number two. May I ask which kernel are you running? Maybe if you changed your kernel you might be happier? Just a thought. I'm sorry your having problems. I guess I've been lucky. So far mines been running really well. I wish I could be of more help! Maybe tweak it a bit and the performance might improve for you?

Don't know what Kernel I have, I didn't change anything so just whatever came with Ordroid as standard
During installation we had choices on the Aroma installer also it asked what your goal is like performance, battery saver, ext.next time during install pay close attention to what Aroma is asking you because. It gives the ability to under or over clock ext. I just used default but I choose "bad ass " bricked kernel
Aroma gives lots of options during install and you can focus on performance if you like. Hope this helps out. If you want to reinstall you can really look at the options closely and change it to help the performance. Best of luck! Have a great day!

While OrDroid is a good and stable rom, it's not exactly the epitome of speed, no Sense 4 rom is. I recommend AOSP/CM9/AOKP if you're looking for speed.

What kernel are you using on the new viperS rom?

Hey guys, just wondering what everyone's thoughts on the variety of kernels for the new viperS rom. What are you all using and what is your performance, fluidity and battery life like? What kernel or rom mods are you using and why? What effects are you achieving?
I'm curious to see what our sensations can do!

The first one one the kernels download list in venom hub.
ondemandX 192-1188
undervolt of 100
gpu2d/3d by default..no oc
disabled location, gmail, and other htc apps/services
no facebook, twitter or any similiar active programs.
I'm running the same kernel with no over clock or under volt of any kind. Location on, Facebook on, what's app and viber and 4hr poll on exchange mail. Wifi on and 2g data when Wifi not available, 83 per cent after 4 hours and 20 minutes standby.

I use faux atm. Phone runs much smoother, but my battery life was hit hard by this...
Think the next kernel I'll try is the forbidden one.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I must agree, faux is definitely the smoothest and snappiest kernel, at least on my phone, but same as you, battery is hit hardest, but I find hardest hit on standby, but reasonable on active usage.
SebastianFm is, on my device, definitely the most stable, but less modded. A nice simple kernel. Coupled with the flashable aroma mod from iba21, it's extremely battery friendly, yet still satisfactory in performance.
Bricked with its flashable mod is also very battery friendly in idle, but I find it hits hardest on active usage.
Pyd kernel, although I've read good things about this kernel, I don't really fancy flashing boot images and the like, so I can't comment on it personally. I would like to hear more on this kernel though, from active users

[Q] Best Kernel for Viper 1.5.2

Sorry for posting it here, can't post yet on Viper's main thread, (and yes I am a noob)
1. Just wanna ask what is the best Kernel for viper 1.5.2 (I dunno what are their descriptions/effects for each kernels)
2. do you have to make a nand / apps backup first before changing kernel?
1) I'm running Elegancia with PYD Kernel and it works great
2)No i dont do a backup
After you flashed Kernel Just wipe dalvik
Envoyé depuis mon HTC Sensation Z710e avec Tapatalk
Always make a backup. It takes 4 minutes or so and might save your butt
I'm using latest faux (find it in the viper hub or in the link at my signature) it's great. But a kernel choice is really a personal thing as no two of us use the phone quite the same.
Nandroid and try. But keep the same kernel for a few days, otherwise you would not get the real taste of it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
First off, you should make a nandroid just in case something goes wrong during installation but if you don't all that you loose is your current rom install. I rarely make nandroids but thats not to say its not recommended, I just enjoy living life on the edge
My favorite kernel for any Sense rom is SebastianFMs Kernel with Axetilens MOD.
Flash your ROM
Flash the Powerful Kernel Reset Tool in Axetilens mod thread
Flash SebastianFMs kernel
Flash the mod - It uses AROMA so you will get to pick and chose all your settings, if you are unsure what to pick most have recommended or default next to the options so you can't go too wrong with them.
He recommends flashing the mod twice just to make sure everything sticks. I always do but I guess thats up to you.
My settings are:
1566mhz on both cores
Performance Gov. (not the dual core option, the third option is what I use)
Underclocked 87mv
300mhz GPU (320mhz could cause stability problems and benchmarks show it doesn't help performance one bit so its a waste of batter)
200mhz 2D (again, anything higher than that is a waste of battery as benchmarks prove that anything higher does no good)
The strictest option for min free settings (I haven't noticed any differnce in load times for the defualt setting and the strict one so its a no brainer to me)
Zram disabled as I have a 512mb hard swap
I have been running this setup for about a week and its still running smooth and fluent. Battery life is incredible to say the least. I'll post some screenshots because quite honestly, you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you in text.
Good luck!

Always make a backup! The kernel is personal preference and nothing more. I have tried all the kernels with viper and didn't have any problems. I don't use viper anymore but when I did, I preferred anthrax, not for any particular reason. Just try each one and see what you like and what works best for you.

Actually, having the 3D GPU overclocked from 300MHz to 320MHz does increase 3D graphics performance more than you think. Increasing the 2D GPU's clock from 200MHz to 266MHz also increases 2D graphics performance substantially.

I honestly don't know why people feel the need to rebuild the Dalvik cache after installing a new kernel. The kernel isn't installed to the Dalvik cache's partition, so not wiping it when you install a kernel will have no effect at all.

Well according to the benchmark tests done by Anthrax, they don't do very much at all, if anything. I barley notice a difference from 1188 to 1566, it really depends more on the rom.

I was using Bricked before flashing Faux. Since bricked is just too laggy when I'm running games like Wild Blood and NFS most wanted. However, Faux eats alot of my battery. Is there any way to run games faster on Bricked? I already tried OC'ing my phone while on brick but it still is laggy

The same lag issue on NFS was happened with me..but then I got a solution...I'm on normal settings(no OC)
192-1188
266-228
486
On-demand
Noop
ZRAM
My heavy games are preety smooth now...how I achieved this ?
- Download kernel tuner from Market
- go to Thermald Section
Increase all the frequency to Max or U can Set my settings also...
THRESHOLD LOW
Max freq- 1188
THRESHOLD MEDIUM
Max freq- 810
THRESHOLD HIGH
Max freq- 648
LAUNCH NFS...IT'S SMOOTH NOW...
If it still feels laggy, Increase all the frequencies to your Max Frequency(means if ur Max freq is 1512, then set to 1512, in my case its 1188)
P.S. I'm never Using OC, cause I'm battery friendly guy and yes I'm getting a very good Battery life also

Just flash it and reboot? I've never done anything special after flashing a kernel.

Sorry for posting it here, can't post yet on Viper's main thread, (and yes I am a noob)
1. Just wanna ask what is the best Kernel for viper 1.5.2 (I dunno what are their descriptions/effects for each kernels)
2. do you have to make a nand / apps backup first before changing kernel?

You can't tell which is the best kernel it depends on your choice and usage but in my opnion i am on faux kernel using ViperS 1.5.2 and its running smooth for now and no problem.
Bricked kernel is also good but gives random reboots...and antrax is totally a mess reboots,reboots and reboots...
Nand backup is not necessary but you should make bcz i got a problem with bricked kernel when i change the Governer from lagfree to Performance my phone reboots ,reboots with in 1 mint and even i cant open my phone....as a result full wipe and flashed rom again...
SO its up to u.....
