This is hex edited by me, stock HTC kernel 2.6.35.13-gc35910f from HTC ROM 2.08.401.1 Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.5 for Sensation with enabled 1.5 GHz CPU frequency on Sensation and OC'ed GPU.​

Not tested yet on Sensation XE.
Tested only with stock HTC Android 2.3.4 Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.5 ROMs.

Features:
1.5 GHZ CPU frequency enabled on Sensation.
CPU frequencies and power management identical with Sensation XE.
30% faster than stock on Sensation. :cool:
GPU overclocked to 227 MHz in 2D mode and to 300 MHz or 320 MHz in 3D mode.

Installation:
This is flashable zip intended for install from recovery.
I used koush AnyKernel installer, so you can flash this kernel on any ROM.
Remember to do backup before flashing, especially boot partition.

Ah great work SFM!!

I was wondering when you were going to do the same thing for the 2.3.5 stock kernel.

Overclocked and a fully functional camera on 2.3.5 / 3.5 (Burst & HDR of course)...

A first! Congrats!

All Devs start to update ROMs in 3...2...1

Great job!!

i suppose this is the improved version of your previous kernel 1.5ghz, with improvement mainly on GPU right? btw, why there are 2 type (300mhz and 320mhz), does it have disadvantages on 320mhz? :rolleyes:

It is only hex edited by me.

No, everything is listed in OP.
For me GPU in 3D mode works properly on 320 MHz, but I read somewhere that this frequency can be unstable on some devices.

Thanks very much SebastianFM!

Kernel works nice on Senseay XE35! CF Bench overall 6585 after a short period of working with this kernel.

No issues so far, very smooth and noticeable faster.

What's remarkable is that the phone is getting less warm then with the custom kernels I normally use.

Again sorry...so which would I use?
you can use whichever one you want. if the 320 becomes unstable then switch to 300. i personally think 300 is more than enough.

@sebastian, does this kernel allow the use of a cpu controller app like system tuner? also, is there a difference between this and tinkys stock kernel thread?

Awesome : )

Just in case others on the same ROM as me are waiting for feedback, it's working well so far with EnergyROM from 22nd December. Only an hour or so in at the mo.... Using 300 MHz gpu variant.
