Everything is very smooth. Like you said it would be. No need to overclock.
Quadrant scores are lower than usual. Usually means it will have exellent battery life. Dont base a kernel on quadrant scores. If you want better battery life then you want your scores to be lower. I'm sure that overclocking will get you better scores but will decrease battery life. So if everything is running smooth for you, then dont overclock just to get better scores.
when you say automatically, does that mean that setcpu is not needed?
You can use it if you want to set a different default governor aside from "On Demand" however I think out of the box it's set up pretty well.
1st kernal flash I have done... will see how it performs the next couple of days. I must say that anything I have tried from Lou has been a home run and am excited about this... You da man Lou! thanks for all you do.
Lou,
Loving your ROMs and I am sure your kernel will not disapoint. I will be running this with your Senseless ROM.
Thanks for your nice efforts!
Doc
Lou-just ran Quadrant got 1131. Think that is slightly less than with stock kernel but not by much. If the battery life is improved well worth it.
Ran test again and registered 1260 and ranked in 3rd. Think you have a winner!
Thanks for letting me know Grizzly. Learn something everyday.Yea second quadrant test is always higher. Running very smooth. Reboots are very quick. Even the first one after loading was considerabley quicker than most kernels I have used. Great job
No battery use at all showing which was weird but good, or so I thought. Then the phone rang and I couldn't answer it, the phone went to the HTC screen and was frozen solid. Battery pull and reflashed stock. Sorry, can't have that happen on a business phone. Running RR Senseless no mods. Did I screw up and is it not meant for this Rom?
I am running Senseless with Lou's kernel and everything is working perfectly. So far so good... Thanks Lou
Any chance of seeing GPU+ or sd card fix on this kernel?
Gaming is like on a totally different device with GPU+, but also I know nothing about how kernels work etc. Good work Lou!
Sorry if i missed this earlier, but has there been any mention of possible improvement on the USB transfer rates for these kernels? #4 gives me the best battery life and #6 helps immensely with emulators, but my transfer rates are typically <1mb/s.
I've noticed when I have Chad's installed, my transfer rate is in the neighborhood of 10-11mb/s; however the battery life is considerably less than Lou's.
Not trying to knock on either here, both Chad and Lou do great work, and I'm not smart enough to build a kernel myself, but what is causing such a dramatic difference in the transfer rates? I don't need it daily, but if I'm having to transfer several gb of data via USB (no access to SD card reader), its faster to flash Chad's, transfer the data, and reflash #6.

BTW keep up the good work, Lou!
So I've researching kernel options for my wife's DInc and I keep seeing Lou's kernels getting mentioned (especially lately) but can someone clarify for me (in layman's terms) what the following features for this kernel mean:
- BFS Scheduler
- HTC Boot Performance Enabled
- HTC Performance Profiles Enabled
- CIFS Support (Modular)
- TUN Support (Modular)
- Ext4 Support (Modular)
I know from my novice Ubuntu experience that Ext4 is a format option for internal/external storage but is this a benefit to Android? or with this ROM?
Right now the DInc is running Virtuous 3.1 w/ Virtuous custom kernel v3 & SetCPU installed.
does anyone have a mirror for this kernel?
HeyItsLou Custom Sense Kernel #7
many thanks, Brian
