I'm assuming you meant Vegan ginger, right? If you just want Vegan 5.1.1, then you could stay on the 1.2 bootloader and flash Brilliant Corners. It's a 1.2 version of Vegan 5.1.1.

This is exactly why it would be nice for the 1.1 rom devs (there are only 2 that are used regularly) to update their Roms to 1.2...get rid of the confusion and people bricking their tablets becuase they feel the need to NVFlash.

The fact is, you were on 1.2 BOS and wanted to get ot a 1.1 rom...It's simple, Follow the instructions on the "foolproof flash to 4349" thread and stop once you've got 3588 installed...you'll be on a fresh install of 3588, with none of the remnents of BOS or 1.2 hanging around...start as clean as it is possible in order to avoid mistakes and problems.

If you ask me, NVFLash has been causing more and more people problems. From what I've read, it's a good tool to have IF you need to recover from a softbrick, but now EVERYONE is trying to NVFlash this, and NVFlash that...it's getting people into trouble, that they wouldn't have been in if they were sticking to CWM, or in some cases, STOCK RECOVERY.

I updated to 1.2 and flashed Brilliant corners over a week ago. I know that I can flash a version of CWM for 1.2, but I haven't yet, simply becuase I see no need to do it. I can always use stock recovery to flash a new rom, if I wanted to.
[G Tablet General] burkett375:
Yeah, now that I know what I did wrong, etc, it does seem pretty silly. They should all be 1.2
[G Tablet General] notsob2002:
That is a good point and sooner than latter will be a big problem for newbies. Will be all kinda posts "Help my tab is a brick why?"
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
It's already happening. the BIG problem, is that people will have 1.1 bootloader, try to flash a 1.2 rom, and think it's bricked...OR, they'll be on 1.2, try a 1.1 rom, or worse, 1.1 CWM and think it's bricked. Then they come here and hte first bit of advice given to them is NVFLASH!!!! It's our SAVIOR...NVFLASH...

next thing you know, they really ARE softbricked. NVFLASH CAN cure all, but it can also screw up all, I'm finding. the Format all zip is great...in my opinion, if all else fails, don't go messing around on a root level, taking the chance that you can accidentally type an ' in the wrong place and not notice, only to find out that you're softbricking yourself. No matter what, with ANY computer system, formatting and starting over is always a safe bet, before messing with stuff that's picky.

I just answered a post from a new user that just got his g-tablet. He tried flashing CWM and it didn't work. He posted his system details. He's already on 1.2 boorloader (4349) and pershoots kernel is installed. This is going to happen a lot more pretty soon. Ebay specials will come with all this stuff on it. Imagine if he hadn't posted letting me know that he was on 1.2, and I hadn't caught it. Somebody that wasn't sure might have told him to start NVFlashing the crap out of it, basically making the situation worse.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
This had already been suggested by somebody...He was made to feel insulted by moderators, so he essentially left this site. He's somewhere else now, working on a 1.2 bootloading version of Honeycomb...you know, the Honeycomb that folks here said we would never get in our wildest dreams?

it's a bit of a shame, really...

a lot of people followed them. I still check here daily to attempt to clean up the few messes that I can deal with (I'm simply a user, not a dev, no technical degree...I've never used Linux, or created an app) I just don't like seeing people in trouble, getting bad advice
[G Tablet General] burkett375:
Wow...that sucks. Im one if the newbies barely having it 24hrs and didnt realize i coulda screwed it up that bad. I guess common sense doesnt always prevail
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
It's not that scary, really. I've only ever been in a bootloop once, and I solved it myself, probably through dumb luck, but I never even considered NVFLash.

And as far as XDA, there are some real geniuses here. this is where I first got the help I needed, but that was before 1.2 was even released. I've seen generous folks here help people out of some tough situations, and not expect anything in return.

My only regret was seeing one of the main contributing members get ostracised just for being so pasionate with his opinion, that may still be the correct one, time will tell.

What I find interesting, still, is that the main 1.2 related posts that are stickied are relativley negative posts, rather than ones that can actually help people that are accidentally or intentionally cross flashing between the 2 bootloaders. With Honeycomb's popularity gaining ground, this will only get amplified.

[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
Hey guys,

I just switched to Verizon from Sprint so I don't know if this is Verizon, the Charge, or something else.

My reception is absolute Dogsh*t. I've dropped more calls in the last 3 days that I dropped in a year on my Evo.

Anyone have any insight?
[Verizon Droid Charge] lrdiaz:
Reception has improved, specially indoors, in DFW area.

What location are you?
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
I'm in Minneapolis.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ShotgunSam:
I havent had an issue with that with other phones or with the Charge. Never had issues with drop calls in Alabama or any other southern state.

could it be just Verizon's service in your area?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Alcoholic Dali:
I'd suggest just trying to get the phone swapped out for a fresh one.

(Stellar service in West Los Angeles)
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
I have had my Charge for 3 weeks now and have not dropped a single call. Its either your area or you got a bad phone.

I just want to let you know that i just put the Mms.apk from CM6 in system/app, and frozed Text Messaging and Messaging in Titanium Backup and I received MMS perfectly fine with a custom User Agent!
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
that's cool. did you change user agent for where you are located? or is that needed to make it function in general?
[Atrix 4G General] lhurtado:
The mmsc in my carrier doesn't know the Atrix, so I receive really small pictures. I change the user agent so the network thinks I am using an iPhone.

[Atrix 4G General] holtenc:
could you go in a little more depth in explaining how to do this? or is it as simple as pushing the new mms.apk to /system/app and freezing messenging in TIBU, and thats all?

I would like to do this with the Calendar app thats in CM
[Atrix 4G General] holtenc:
never mind my above question. Figured it out. But the calendar.apk I tried to use didn't go over as well.
[Atrix 4G General] jeff716a:
Any idea how to change the user agent on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus? The mms's that come in on a 4.2.2 vanilla ROM are resized and compressed so they look awful and it's bugging me.

I want a new phone and will be getting one the next time T-Mobile has one of their "all phones free sales". I currently have the G2 and love it but want something with a FFC as well as good support for development like the G2 does. IE: I dont wanna buy a mytouch slide again thinking all the devs will get one ( and stick to it lol) So does anyone have any Ideas or links to websites that have upcoming T-mobile phone relaeses? Like I said I'm looking for the next phone that alot of Devs will be getting and sticking with as I love the support and ROMS/Kernals that are constantly coming out or at least being updated. Any Ideas?:o

[HTC Sensation] stepinmyworld:
Hey I thought it would be cool to just have a seperate thread for this so people can stop asking so much al throughout the other threads.

I've seen 2342 so far on the released version compared to the model in prerelease which was 1300 score. Thats a very fast speed.

Post yall quadrant scores here.
[HTC Sensation] mr.orange303:
Remember also that all who view this the sensation has a qhd screen.

Makes a difference.
[HTC Sensation] umd:
And as I've been reading on other topics there might be a incompatibility problem due to two cores. It's new chipset and has different architecture etc. Lets give it some time.
[HTC Sensation] stepinmyworld:
really? I wonder what goes into that technology. I kind of wanted the screen to be a full size 4.3 inch screen.. with the width the same size as the evo. I just love the space u get
[HTC Sensation] samjpullen:
I got a very low 1589 on the first Quadrant...
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Do you prefer SGS 2 after using both? I'm asking because of your signature.
[HTC Sensation] mr.orange303:
In real world testing. Can you feel lag at all?

Coming from the g2x. Its almost lag free. But has other problems.
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
not accurate

Helllo

People have been saying that the sensation is getting low scores because benchmark programs are not designed to test both cores.

I find that most people are throwing around nothing but assumptions for reasons i really cannot understand. Do you know for a fact whether those benchmark programs are optimized only for one core, or is your enthusiasm for the sensation subconsciously pushing you to say that ?????????????

The author of smartbench has posted a comment on another thread in this forum that one of the main reasons smartbench 2010 was pulled out and smartbench 2011 released was testing dual core phones. he added that he does not know why is the sensation getting such low scores as compared to other dual core phone, but will investigate and come back.

So irrespective of my personal preference to HTC phones, and if smartbench author cannot find a bug in his smartbench 2011 leading to low scores on sensation, i have to say that the sensation CPU does not seem to be at the same performance level as other dual core phones

That's on the low end compared to other qHD devices but not bad.

Any other benchmarks with the final release?
[HTC Sensation] samjpullen:
First impression is yes, but i have only had to play with the Sensation for about 8hrs or so :)

The overall UI is pretty fast, but web browsing... not as clear cut as i would have expected from the specs, the Ram used by Sense seems to be the problem.
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
I got a score of 2306 in quadrant advanced, only did one run as waiting to root before going further :S
[HTC Sensation] rd_nest:
Sam, I saw your youtube video of browser performance for Sensation. That flash pinch-zoom thing was horrible. Was this consistent across all websites?

I would have expected better. I feel most of the guys might know about this, rest of us who were unaware, check out Sam's youtube channel. Keep up the good work mate!
[HTC Sensation] intruda119:
Do you have the device yet?
[HTC Sensation] mr.orange303:
My g2x on froyo is higher than the sensation.

But I bet the sensation is just plain more reliable
[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
No but i have the datasheet of the processor in it and i know the scores its getting in benchmarks, these scores can be calculated even via the datasheet.

About G2X Tegra2 is plain sucky when it comes to dual core and it is slowest of the bunch. The Java Apps dont perform well and that is what android is based on. Native Apps are mostly games and tegra 2 is good but Sensation is better on both
[HTC Sensation] Killbynature:
They doesn't quite make sense as the mytouch is a stock 1.4 chip MSM8255 the g2 and mytouch are basically the same processors underclocked to 1ghz. The sensation is a stock 1.5 dual core capable of 2.6 ghz overclock The score the sensation getting is the same the score my mytouch was getting out of the box. That indicates that the other processor isn't quite doing anything. At its not the same as a mytouch. The chip in the sensation is MSM8660 Dual-Core SoC with Adreno 220 GPU. Equivalent to the one with HTC evo 3d. QSD8x60 dual core hasn't even been introduced yet.
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
it doesn't seem like most of the people hear understand the async tech used in the new qualcomm chip... there is soo much into it that i myself wonder if it is worth it to have a dual core phone at this point as much apps wont stress the first core enough to push the second core to a clock speed close to 1.2 ghz.. yes i do like the sync speeds of the sgs2 but still i think its over kill... to try to put it in lamens terms the sgs2 cores will be at 1.2 ghz in use and what ever mhz at rest while the sensation could have 1 core at a clock speed of 1.2ghz and the other at what ever to relieve the stress be it 3 4 5 6 hundred mhz so until we really get programs to mimic whats needed to make the second core jump to 1.2 ghz we will always wonder about benchmarks which are useless to me
[HTC Sensation] Killbynature:
Nope I understand I said this early about lower benchmarks. I don't care about them and I do understand the qsd chip isn't similar to the msm Chipset. Similar processors would be g2 and the mytouch 4g as they have the exact same architecture. The mytouch architecture though similar being a a8 should be vastly different
[HTC Sensation] umd:
I said "there might be". That doesn't mean there is. Most of us don't have this phone so we're making guesses of course.

Early anandtech benchmarks say (don't want links again just search yourself) this chipset at default 1.5 ghz is better than other dual cores. 0.3 Ghz downclock doesn't effect that much. So we're suspicious that there might be incompability problem. Because chipset is new, phone is new etc. And that author doesn't have Sensation too. Then I said "lets wait". Is that ok for you?
[HTC Sensation] mr.orange303:
Sensation is a better on games than tegra2? Really? The adreno 220 ? Really?

Look I want the phone. You don't have to sell me on it.

But I'm not sure that's right.
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
the adreno 220 is a really good chip and this is coming from a die hard nvidia fan for my pc/laptop nvidia over any other even ati... i also used nvidia audio cards so for me to say yes the adreno 220 actually has and edge on the tegra is pretty hard on me but it is true
[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
The dual core snapdragon isnt using cortex a9, it is using 2 scorpion CPU's the same found in MT4G. The scorpion is midway between a9 and a8 and it is compatible with dual core. A8 is not compatible with dual core. Scorpion was modified a bit and has stuff from both A9 and A8
[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
Tegra 2 71 million triangles. Adreno 220 - 88 million triangles, dont get me started on the gpu stuff, Adreno 220 is way better.
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
exactly still dont know why people keep calling it an A8.... its actually a mutt... lol its got some capabilities of both more towards the A9 side but tweaked
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
Exactly, one of the advances it made was the out of order processing that is found in the A9s. The advantages of it over an A8 is why the Qualcomm snapdragons were found in SO many of the "last gen" phones. A9s are better, yes, but since Snapdragons can be clocked to higher speeds in general that evens out the playing field somewhat. And let's not forget that Krait CPUs are coming out next year which are on level with the A15s (Qualcomm obviously claiming they perform better but we'll have to wait to see if it's true). Qualcomm essentially made an A8.5 equivalent, skipped over A9 and will head straight to A15 equivalents. This means they are sometimes behind, sometimes ahead. But there's also the full chipset to consider. The Adreno220 seems to be in general better than the Tegra2 (though some say the Tegra2 is better at some things). And unlike the Tegra2 the 8x60 can handle H.264 FullHD video at High Profile at decent bitrates (on videos for the 8x60 you can see them playing High Profile H.264 videos @17MBPS

But yeah, it bugs me too when people call the snapdragon an A8, almost as bad is when they do the opposite and call it an A9.
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
ok so still researching the low benchmark scores just so i can give others some piece of mind because i could really care less im still getting the sensation. the desire hd with sense 3.0 and over clocked is scoring higher in benchmark than the sensation. forgive my bad grammar and english but im pulling long hours at work then staying up with other projects
[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
It is better than cortex a9 in some aspects n worse in some. Like for neon, asynchronous, simd, vfp,Java. It is better but lays behind in native calculations but native calculations is not used on any app on android afaik. It ie used in games but on games these pass onto gpu as on graphics are native rest is Java. Since 2.3 it is possible to write app totally in native but no one does that as doing that isn't really beneficial unless the app is real all heavy. All the heavy apps on android like video trimmers etc resort to ffmpeg n similar libraries which in turn depend on neon and neon on Sensation is faster than that on other phones. In one line the stufrf that is slower isnt affecting the performance as it is overtaken by other aspects that are faster
[HTC Sensation] KingKuba13:
Last I read it had 90 million triangles.

If by way better, you mean slower, less powerful and benchmarks lower then yeah.

If its "way" better then it should score 4000 on smartbench 2011 gaming, Nenamark should be in the 70's, oh wait its not. Not even close.
[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
When u r comparing GPU u should compare just GPU benchmarks - Egypt - 40fps compared to tegra 20 fps Pro - 93 fps compared to tegra 42 Nenamark 83 fps compared to Tegra 45 Quake 3 - 79.8 fps compared to tegra 49 3dmark topping all OMG Tegra 2 doesnt support 3D mark requirements. It has a better fill rate, Supports Hardware acceleration of flash and svg, it has embedded DSP. Also 90million triangle data floating around is a pretty big joke which people like you wont understand. Adreno 220 is around 2x Tegra 2. Tegra 2 doesnt even hit its fps cap in any benchmark, even hummingbird hits the fps caps
[HTC Sensation] mr.orange303:
Wow. That's crazy. Nice. Makes buying the phone even better.

I can't wait. Thanks. My bad man. My bad.
[HTC Sensation] Trekest:
I went ahead and created a view on GLBenchmark to see the difference between our beloved and its three main rivals (the SGS2, Atrix and Optimus 2X), and It did make me feel a bit better about pre-ordering it.

No question that technically the SGS2 is one hell of a beast, but with all the CPU compatibility mayhem going on (which I really don't believe in much by the way - we get what we get) I decided to focus on the Atrix which spots the same screen resolution, and a Tegra 2 GPU.

From what I gathered, it seems that Adreno 220 and Tegra 2 are pretty much comparable (and an in-depth look reveals that the Sensation tests were run on test builds, probably would get slightly better when ran on a proper one).

Edit: Forgot to mention, the main disadvantage the Sensation has compared to the Atrix right now is the CPU (CPU Performance: Float 16129 vs 29850). It might be improved a bit, but I don't really expect miracles. I will not cancel my order :)

Here's the link:

http://www.glbenchmark.com/compare....Motorola ATRIX 4G MB860&D4=LG P990 Optimus 2X
[HTC Sensation] charnsingh_online:
About the CPU Sensation on the shipping rom has way better float point than Atrix. Atrix is around 36mflops sensation 47mflops. Tegra 2 is the weakest when it comes to CPU, no neon, Old version of VFP etc

The tests that have been run on sensation were on test/user debug builds, see the system information. We'll have to wait a few days before all the performance of sensation gets laid down.
[HTC Sensation] JBO1018:
If I had T-Mobile I definitely would have waited for this phone but the single scorpion core in my phone rocks pretty damn hard so I don't have any doubt the Sensation will take any Tegra 2 straight to the cleaners.

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
[HTC Sensation] Trekest:
Did mention that on my post ;)

Also, checking the unprocessed results section shows an abundance of new Sensation tests ran yesterday - probably a bunch of geeks like us wanting to see whether a final build can hold a candle to the competition.

Either way I bookmarked that link as it's a dynamic page and would probably get updated once the new results are approved.
[HTC Sensation] mr.orange303:
I gotta wait for the g2x to get official gingerbread. To compare really.

By then ill have sold it. Maybe.

Update: well I just ran the exact same test as the sensation browser video. I went to engadget etc and ran the video and tried the pinch to zoom.

The g2x handled it like the sgs2. No issues. Ate it up. Video resized instantly with no issues.

Just fyi since I have the g2x and can test it for you guys.
[HTC Sensation] magic_man:
I would take their triangles per second figure with a grain of salt. It is a marketing slide and I doubt any of these chips could hit that number in real games. Tegra 2 seems to have the developer support and that is probably the most important factor in terms of what is going to get the best looking games.
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
It's too early to tell really. Tegra2 was first out the door, ergo the support. But it is way too early to tell which will be the dominant chipset for this generation of phones; it could be Qualcomm, TI, Nvidia, Samsung (I doubt Samsung as they don't tend to sell their chipsets to others), heck, maybe even Marvell. Developers will go to whichever one(s) comes out on top. And they'll most likely make concessions so it games will at least work on the top ones (even if only one chipset will look great due to optimizations).
[HTC Sensation] KingKuba13:
It depends which benchmarks you use.

Where are you getting nenamark 83?

Its 54 fps and 60's for tegra 2.

So if the GPU is THAT much better, the CPU must be beyond horrible to be lagging these benchmarks at 1.2 ghz and android 2.3??

The sad thing, @1.5 ghz it only hit 2850 quadrants

Anyways, looking forward to some smartbench gaming numbers and other benchmarks.
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
back to this silly benchmarking(penis measuring thingy) so now everyone has manged to overclock their sgs2 and their g2x and in quadrant advanced both phones at 1.5ghz clock speed the g2x is scroing way higher than the sgs2... so again what is to be said about bench marks?
[HTC Sensation] mr.orange303:
They can be manipulated.
