[Kernel] UPDATE: Jan 23 HeyItsLou Custom Sense Kernel #9 La Villa Strangiato
- Thread starter HeyItsLou
- Start date
I just switched to #5. It seems great, but the modules (cifs, tun, ext4) don't work for me and no wireless-n...
I get an error of "Invalid module format" when I insmod any of the modules. This is my only issue so far with the kernel. It performs very well otherwise, and I would like to stick with this one if I can get modules that work!

Kernal #5 rocks and is very stable. I have had a couple FC on some apps since loading. I did a reboot and fix permissions seems to have fixed the issues.
Kernal 4 or 5?
Which kernal is getting better battery life? I am using #5 and it seems to be performing well but I want to make sure I am not missing out on better battery performance with #4. Thanks for any input.

#4 has been better for me with senseless rom in all ways, #5 just felt different and not as smooth.
I never tried fix permissions and I don't know what that does exactly and when I should try it.
I would be very interested to find out how to fix permissions as I am getting some FC's with some apps as well.
It says "An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands!" when I try to fix permissions.
Any ideas?
If you are running one of Lou's ROMs, ROM Manager's Fix Permissions doesn't work properly. He includes GScript light with his ROMs. In GScript, load a script and choose fix permissions, then run it.
Or, you can go into terminal emulator and run:
su
fix_permissions
Thanks for the help. Took the emulator option and rebooted. Trying to fix fc I am getting when I select folders in exchange email account. Thought this would fix it but no luck.

i, too, am unable to fix permissions. i wanted to run a routine TitaniumBackup and was denied. It turns out that Busy Box can't get permission. opened Terminal Emulator and typed SU <enter> and was denied.
I posted this issue originally in the "senseless 1.0" thread but it appears that it may be a Kernal issue???
can anyone else verify this? and if so, does simply switching the kernal to something else fix the problem?
thanks...

Hey Lou, thanks for the great work. HTC Incredible with SLCD here.
Reporting that I just threw IncROM on my phone today, and tried out your #5 kernel. Very high battery consumption and Android System taking up over 50% of my battery. Tried it for about 4 hours before going to your #4 kernel. In less than an hour, I noticed much lower power consumption from Android System.
The battery has held at 96% for over 30 minutes now.
I have not changed any settings from when I was running kernel #5.
I have timers set to ring every 30 minutes so that I check battery usage. Otherwise, I am going through "normal usage" (checking the phone only when I get an email, gvoice sms, or gtalk im notification). I am using only 3g and no WiFi. Bluetooth is disabled.

Running IncROM with this kernel and when I do a normal reboot angry birds shortcut link does not work and not available in the menu but market still recognizes it as installed...anyone else with this issue?

Best Kernel for IncRom
Are most finding that this combo (IncRom and Lou's kernel #4) gets the best battery life with decent speed?

IncRom with Lou's or Chad's kernel has amazing battery life. It was my daily driver for a pretty good while. Experimenting with a few others while he cleans up his 1.0. I am sure once he finishes that I will switch back as the battery life is tough to beat
bluetooth connectivity
I've got stock ROM 2.2 (build 2.6.32.26). Had incredikernel 11/28 running and switched to HeyItsLou #4, then #5. With both, bluetooth connections to my car would fail 90% of the time. The 10% of the time it connected, it would eventually drop the connection. Switched back to incredikernel and bluetooth connectivity problems went away.

28Summary:
Well I went ahead and jumped into the Kernel world. This Android stuff is like crack lol While there are other great options as far as Sense kernels go such as Chad's I wanted to make one that I can call my own something that will be stable on all devices and is optimized for speed and stability while also providing good battery life. Going forward I will be using my own kernels with all 3 of my Rom projects.
Features Include:
- Compiled from latest Htc Source Code: 2.6.32.17
- BFQ I/O Scheduler NEW in #7
- BFS Scheduler Only in #5 and #9
- SD Card Speed Fix Patch NEW in #9
- 3-10 Multi-Touch Support - Included in #6 & #7
- Disabled Kernel Debugging for increased performance NEW
in #7 - Disabled Kernel File System Debugging for increased performance NEW in #8
- Advanced Power Management Enabled
- NEW Htc Boot Performance Enabled
- NEW Htc Performance Profiles Enabled:
- Screen "OFF" Speeds set Automatically: Minimum 245000 Maximum 245000
- Stock Speeds
- Default Governor Profile "On Demand"
- All Governor Profiles Enabled
- CIFS Support (Modular)
- TUN Support (Modular)
- Ext4 Support (Modular)
- Wireless N Support (Modular)
READ ME:
I Recommend NOT using SetCPU with any of my kernels let the CPU governor do it's thing. All of what makes my kernels special is equipped out of the box and does not need assistance from SetCPU

Installation
- Flash in recovery just as you would a Rom
- For anyone having issues or as a "just in case" wipe Dalvik Cache in recovery before flashing the kernel

The difference is due to an SD card r/w speed hack. Basically what it does is increase the size of the cached data to be written to the SD in the phone's RAM, and thus maximizing r/w throughput.
That's confusing, so here's an analogy.
I am very very thirsty, and I want water! I can drink about 1 cup / minute (Analogous to r/w speed). Now, I have a container (analogous to size of cached data). If my container holds 0.1 cups, I'm gonna be refilling it, and drinking and refilling it and drinking, and I lose a lot of time like that. But let's say that my container is now 10 cups! I can fill it up, drink at my maximum rate, and then fill it up, and drink at my maximum rate and so on.
Hope that helps!
So in short, the patch exists, Lou just hasn't gotten to / doesn't want it.2
Really simply, as I'm pressed for time:
BFS is a different CPU scheduler than CFS. A CPU scheduler is analogous to... a kind of prioritizing algorithm. Pretend you're me. Tomorrow I have school and I'm gonna get loads of homework. Now, what order I choose to do that homework in is my prioritizing algorithm.
Going back to the CPU, the CPU also has tasks. You tap on the screen, an app needs to process something. How it decides what to do when is the scheduler.
Mmk, so BFS is basically this: All resources to one thing at a time.
CFS: Completely Fair Scheduler, so everything gets it's share.
BFS is great for single-tasking, as you might expect. However, whenever something else goes on, like syncing, or installing apps, there is generally gonna be lag.
CFS is great for multi-tasking, again, as you might expect.
For me personally, CFS makes more sense, because if you're generally only ever running one app at a time, and CFS will give it the majority of the resources anyway. And so when syncing or installing comes a long, you run into no problems.
Boot Performance and Performance Profiles are just regulations on clockspeed, so you don't need to create profiles in SetCPU.
CIFS is another kind of scheduler, but for I/O.
TUN is for VPN.
Ext4 is a type of filesystem.1
multiupload being taken down really screwed things up.
However, to save you the effort, if you're trying to flash this on the ROM in your sig it won't work. It will boot but soft keys won't work. This kernel only works on froyo.
