[HTC Sensation] Habbit:
steve austin, I agree, especially with the comparison to the EVO 3D. Not only is the phone a half-hearted attempt to compete with the Galaxy S2, but it's ridiculous that HTC decided to hamper the hardware on the Sensation when they are perfectly capable of bringing much better to the table.

I have an upgrade due at the beginning of June, and I wanted to use it as quickly as possible so as to be near or out of my contract in case the AT&T/T-Mobile merger is approved, however it looks like I'm going to be with my HD2 until the rumored Samsung Hercules appears.
[HTC Sensation] atlp99:
I know some HTC reps have the T-mobile sensation already and I'm sure there are some floating around with T-mobile but probably not at store level yet, so that is where I would assume the pics are leaking from.

I keep checking every delivery we get for our store demo but as of 5/24 it was not there yet.
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
I can't get the full upgrade discount until early next year, but I was going to pony up on the 8th. You are right about them just trying to get into the fray, but they gave better specs to the Evo 3D, so it was a CONSCIOUS effort to spec-down the phone - which makes no sense at all.

I realllllllly want to run Android natively on my phone. This is why I waited for this phone to come out. But it occurred to me that I an scrambling to cut out certain apps when I load a NAND build. Getting "low memory" errors and all. This is because htc sells us sort, memory wise, out the box with the hd2. They continue the same practice, a year later, in a new "flag ship" phone? Not feeling that at all. And the locked bootloader is just fuel got the fire. Again, I am in a hold pattern at the moment.
[HTC Sensation] p0xer:
does anyone knows if its gonna be simfree or can be unlocked with a code?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I think all phones through tmous are sim locked
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
It should be unlockable through a code.
[HTC Sensation] swa2k4:
unlock codes are given to you free if you have been a TMobile USA customer for a month at least. Just unlocked my G2X for free after restoring it to factory default. Cant Wait!!!!! Sensation lets gooo 12 days?! Any word on off contract pricing? I am assuming $499.99?
[HTC Sensation] swa2k4:
How did you get one early?! let me know !! I am dying with this damn mytouch3g for next couple weeks? and can you confirm $499?
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
they are unlocking the bootloader

https://www.facebook.com/HTC/posts/10150307320018084
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
hopefully they will issue an update to unlock it :confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
buy for sure once out on Tmo US :)
[HTC Sensation] bongd:
Damn, could you score anyone else an early upgrade? I'm looking for an HTC Sensation here in Canada!
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
would that be one of the events they've been holding in Canada?
[HTC Sensation] swa2k4:
price

Anyone have an update on pricing... I saw somewhere that it would be $199.99 with new activation or upgrade, but how much if you are non upgrade eligible? other words Off contract. I am assuming $499.99?

hypedddddd
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Thats what i heard for no-contract as well (499$)...If thats true, does it mean that i can get it unlocked with that price (499$) here in Canada once its released?
[HTC Sensation] desztan:
If it's off contact, It is consider sim free?
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
rumored price is not $499

androidcentral has it at $549, ok I left out the cents.

http://www.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-htc-sensation-4g-run-199-target

EDIT:

nm the rumored price it is confirmed at $549 by T-mobile via twitter

https://twitter.com/#!/TMobile/status/76092361507225600
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
not that I'm happier with the higher price I guess it does make sense...

549 - 300 (discount for 2 year contract) = 249

249 - 50 mail in rebate = 199 price for 2 year term

Still for now lower priced than the SGS2, that may change once ATT and company start selling their respective locked versions of the phone.
[Nook Color General] cainhunpi:
DeeperBlue has done it again. Put 3.1 Honeycomb on the Nook Color.

Check out the video after the break

[YOUTUBE]RJ_k4kdsaMk[/YOUTUBE]
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
How does he not get a job for some major player in the Android community like Samsung, HTC, etc? Seems he can do more with an SDK than most of the development teams can do at these companies when they have access to the source.
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
That looks so smooth.
[Nook Color General] TooSlo:
This type of work is just plain inspiring. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the NC devs that put in their time/effort/knowledge for the rest of us to enjoy the goodness that is Android!
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
Won't lie, he looked a little frustrated at the end =\.
[Nook Color General] innosia:
please fix it, and make CM 7 and phiremod into honeycomb version
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaskwith:
Hi, sorry for the nature of this post but I am on a military installation that has like noooo internet speed... so everything takes me forever, otherwise I would research myself. Anyways... what is the best sense rom out at the moment. One that had good radio in it and that is stable! Please someone sum some things up for me please? Thank you.

Sent from my royal thunderbolt.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
I'm running royal panache v1.1 right now. Is a great sense rom. I never really liked sense but this rom is so good I have it as my daily.

Is very stable and has all the goodies. Its even great on battery life. As for the radios, you can install the latest and with this rom it gives you great speeds.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmdmilitia13:
Im runnin royalginger v2.1,fast speeds,great battery life,no complaints here lol

Mytouch 4g-white

Permrooted s-off

Root Method-gfree

CWR-3.0.2.4

Rom-Royalginger v2.1

Kernel-Ckisgen~smartass~v1.2
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
That's not a Sense ROM...

Personally, I don't see any reason not to have the latest version of Sense, so check out Virtuous Fusion!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaskwith:
Awesome... From what I read about that Virtuous ROM it isn't scaled properly in everything..? And editing all those APN's seems troublesome, but i think I will try it...can you post some screenies of what it looks like for you?!?!?!

I just don't want to DL a ROM that is going to require me to download multiple updates because my connection speed is SOOOO SLOW!!..
[Thunderbolt General] Character Zero:
Had issues with BAMF 2.0-5 Camcorder, it was force closing when I tried to complete a recording. I tried 3 different Sense 3.0 cameras and the Sense 2.1 camera with the same results each time. I flashed back to 2.00-4.01 and have zero issues with the Sense 3.0 camera and camcorder. I had already done the Netflix install on 4.01, is there anything in 5.0 I need anyway? I guess I will wait for the next one to see if it fixes my issues.

I even clear data/cache and installed 2.0-5 multiple times, and the camcorder never worked, always FC on finishing the recording.
[Thunderbolt General] gsxraddict:
Cleared data from the camera? Also I'm not sure what kernel came stock with other versions but maybe the latest kernel caused your camera to be buggy too. Might wanna try a different kernel.
[Thunderbolt General] eatrice313:
Have the same FC as well. Hopefully there is a fix soon!
[Thunderbolt General] livetoskateaz:
same thing here i can take pictures fine with me being overclocked at 1.4 max and 764* (not sure if that is the exact number) with no lag or any issues except no burst mode...but to the point i have no video camera capabilities no matter what settings i select*(i havent tried any smaller resolution than widescreen and i see no reason to because my stock thunderbolt could do 720hd anyways...so yeah i hope that there is a fix for this because i use my camera and camcorder at least three times a day.
[Thunderbolt General] Character Zero:
Yeah I tried diferent kernels. Actually on my first install I went with the test7 kernel that is used on 4.01, and I thought it was the issue. So I wiped and reflashed and went with the included test2 kernel with the same results.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
someone posted an APK to a camera that worked... Good luck finding it though lol...
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Works fine for me....how you guys break things...
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Take picture, rear camera, no crash.

Take video and save, rear camera, no crash.

Same tests with front camera, no crash.

As long as I cannot reproduce it, I cannot fix it.
[Thunderbolt General] Dcox28:
I just tried this also and I get a force close as well. It acts as though it is recording the video just fine but when you go to stop recording is when i get an error - Sorry!

The application Camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
[Thunderbolt General] Character Zero:
Got FC on three different clean Rom flashes. But its ok on 4.01. I mean flashing, skipping setup, going right to camera and FC on video, right when you hit the record button the second time to stop recording.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Try something.

Delete the vdd settings under (be careful) in system/etc/init.d/01_vddlevels.

Then reboot.
[Thunderbolt General] Dcox28:
When I try it tells me "could not delete file"
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
I didn't say delete file.

Also, use root explorer.
[Thunderbolt General] crookshanks:
Didn't work. I'll grab a logcat for you when I get off work tonight.
[Thunderbolt General] Dcox28:
I'm probably a moron, definitely still fairly new but I did purchase and download Root Explorer and when opening that file in text i do see the settings now that you mentioned under (be careful). However I'm unable to edit because the file is marked read only and when I go to Permissions to change it, it won't let me, telling me 01vdd_levels permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read-only.
[Thunderbolt General] crookshanks:
When you're in /system/etc/init.d you see the "mount r/w" button in the top right corner? Press that to mount r/w.
[Thunderbolt General] Dcox28:
Thank you. That did allow me to access the file and I did delete the settings under (be careful), this also did not work for me. Still get the same Force Close error when cancelling the recording.
[Thunderbolt General] crookshanks:
Mine does record the video but I still get the FC when stopping.
[Thunderbolt General] thunderboltglass:
I think if your using the sense 3.0 camcorder I know your issue. If you selected the full 1080p option it will cause the camcorder to close each time. The highest resolution the camcorder on the thunderbolt is 720. Choose the 720 option and then give it a shot.
[Thunderbolt General] Tallica21:
Mine is working fine on beta5
[Thunderbolt General] Dcox28:
Under Video Quality mine doesn't have a 1080p option, by default Widescreen (800x 480) was selected this causes a FC when stopping the recording. I changed it to HD 720P (1280x720) and now I get the FC when I go to START the recording. I changed it back to widescreen as this does record, but still FC's when stopping the recording.
[Thunderbolt General] Character Zero:
This was posted in the dev thread for 2.0-5 by m00nshake :

Could someone here with the FC close camera issues try this. Go in and wipe data and cache but do not reflash the ROM and see if that fixes the issue? I went back to Froyo (1.6.3) to wait and see if there was a fix. I might flash to GB after work and try myself if no on else does (just a pain to switch radios).
[Thunderbolt General] badboyg200:
I am having the FC issue as well. I hope this gets resolved quickly as I love this ROM.
[Thunderbolt General] magicriggs:
im going to try this because i am getting the force close after a clean install. I can record video but when i stop it, it force closes. I will let you know how it ends up...

UPDATE: DID not work still getting fc. wiped everything multiple times. no titanium restore. completely fresh install.
[Thunderbolt General] crookshanks:
Didn't fix it. I wiped data/cache/dalvik 3 times before installing initially as well.
[Thunderbolt General] Character Zero:
Well shoot. Its funny that Sense 3.0 camera worked great for me in 2.0-4.01. So I wonder what changed besides the Netflix stuff to cause the issue. What is more frustrating is one of the main devs can reproduce this, so it is hard to troubleshoot and fix. Seems odd to be a hardware issue. I guess I will see if 2.0-6 fixes it. I must have reinstalled 3-4 times wiping each time with no luck.
[Thunderbolt General] crookshanks:
I don't think this is the Sense 3.0 camera but I replaced the apk in system/apps with this one and changed permissions to rw-r-r and no more fc. YMMV
[Thunderbolt General] Dcox28:
I went back to the OP and under Patches and add on's or whatever i found the link for Sense 3.0 Camera, I guess that didn't install with 2.0-5 because I copied the zip and flashed it to the phone and now I can use the camcorder with no FC's. The only thing missing, I guess not an option in sense 3.0 camera is the panoramic option to take panoramic photos.
[Thunderbolt General] Character Zero:
YES!!!! This worked for me! Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] badboyg200:
Where do I go / what do I do to change permissions after I download the file
[Thunderbolt General] Character Zero:
I used Root File Explorer:

Go to downloads (or the file download location) and select Move or Copy

Go to system/app and in the top right side and click "Mount R/W"

Paste the item there

Scroll down and Long Press on HTCCamera.apk

Choose Permissions

Set the checkboxes as follows :

Owner : Read, Write

Group : Read

Others : Read

Hit OK.

Set the "Mount.." button at the top right to unmount.

Now you will not see Camera in the app drawer. Its ok.

Reboot.
[Thunderbolt General] livetoskateaz:
yes i would like to know as well how do this this because my camera is giving me problems as well...thank you :)
[Thunderbolt General] livetoskateaz:
is this root explorer file manager in the market that costs $3.99
[Thunderbolt General] Character Zero:
Yes I do believe that root explorer is a paid app.

You can do it through command line, but I am not sure of the instructions. you sould need to mount system/app as R/W, copy the apk there and change the permissions. The permissions change would be a chmod 644.
[Thunderbolt General] livetoskateaz:
well i bought the app you said you used and did everything you said to and i did see the camera in the app drawer, trying a reboot right now to see what will happen, will let you know how it turns out :) thanks again.
[Thunderbolt General] badboyg200:
Thank you characterzero.. while it did work.. you do lose the features that I personally loved.. like the panaroma cdma.. o well, hopefully next build fixes this
[Thunderbolt General] livetoskateaz:
okay i still have the sense 3.0 camera do i need to uninstall that first or what am i missing here?
[Thunderbolt General] livetoskateaz:
nevermind I figured it out, thanks again. character zero
[Thunderbolt General] xstahsie:
Thanks man, this works for me (BTW, it's Sense 2.0 Camera/Camcorder). Camera way less "laggy" and camcorder doesn't force close on me.

In regards to the lagging issue mentioned, it happens in the initial recording and maybe a bit throughout the recording but nothing crazy like the Sense 3.0 camera that came with BAMF (GB) 2.0-5.

Of course, looking forward to a fix for Sense 3.0 Camera. :-)
[Thunderbolt General] xstahsie:
a fix

My Sense 3.0 camcorder was crashing/FC after recording... but this fixed the problem.

This idea came into mind after crookshanks posted the HTCCamera.apk (v2.0): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14104147&postcount=27

I got this, Sense 3.0 camera file, from adrynalyne's Das BAMF 2.0-5 thread @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087617

...and extracted the HTCCamera.apk (v3.0) from it and use Character Zero's tutorial to replace the current HTCCamera.apk.

Credit: Character Zero

Here is the working, at least working for me, HTCCamera.apk 3.0: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NTZEQO80

Edit: Be sure to clear the Camera cache and Clear data, after you have installed this file, or else your recording is gonna look all whacky! (Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Scroll to Camera and select it->Clear data->Clear cache.

Keep in mind, your Camera setting will be restored to default, so if you like recording in 720p, don't forget to set it to 720p in the Camera setting!
[Thunderbolt General] gti3358:
I was having the same FC issues as stated here on a fresh install and replacing the htccamera.apk (3.0) and fixing the permissions to rw-r-r then rebooting and clearing data did the trick for me. Thanks everyone for helping with this!
[Thunderbolt General] bL33d:
Glad i found this post! Thanks
[Thunderbolt General] studiorat:
never had a force close on my Tbolt with Das-bamf 1.7 but no camera display on either main or secondary but it takes pix I just cant see what i am shooting till i acess the gallery? any Ideas
[Thunderbolt General] jerflash:
i have this problem and nothing has helped...i did everything right and still nothing has worked...really pissing me off
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
why not try updating to one of the newer roms?

brought to you with limited commercial interuptions
[Thunderbolt General] pdiddy2006:
Thanks, now I am recording at 1080...
[Thunderbolt General] elliott35:
Update to das bamf 2.1? Or cyanogen 7? There is a camera fix tho if you don't like upgrades
[Thunderbolt General] xirnibor:
this fix also worked for me. thanks very much, was driving me crazy! love my thunderstick 2.5.5
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
I bought premium a few months ago, it was mainly to support dev, never needed the premium, and now when im running CM7 i need it lol.

I still have it installed, the market tells me i do.

I uninstalled, and re-installed, but it doesnt work on ROM Manager it still tells me that i need to get Premium key..

Honestly, i don't want to buy it again, and maybe it won't work even after that.

IS this happening to anyone else? any fixes or anything at all? I'm getting pissed, i might go get a cracked ROM Manager.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodmut:
Hey folks -

I am a proud new owner of a Xoom, and would love to unlock and root it! I have had a Droid X for a while now, and while it is rooted, rommed and the rest, I have not dealt with a bootloader before. All I had to do was use Z4root and go from there, simple. I used a friend's PC at school to learn how to SBF if needed, and that's as far as I've gotten with Android.

I could really use help with unlocking the Xoom. I am running Parallels on my Mac (Windows XP Home) and am unsure how to go about installing Android SDK. Motorola Drivers I think I am all set, I've run the program and it says I'm up to date. With Android SDK, however, I downloaded the zip and it says there are no files to extract. I run the installer program for Android SDK, and it says I need Java JDK. I download Java JDK, and yet Android SDK installer program still says I don't have it.

I would really appreciate where to go from here, and I apologize if this has been covered somewhere else, but I did look around for quite a while and I don't want to do anything prematurely and mess up a $600 device. Again, apologies for my nOObness.

Thanks!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binfordstool:
Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I did exactly what you are talking about doing. Boot into your virtual machine and install all the sdk, moto drivers, and fastboot.

When connecting your xoom, enable USB debugging and make sure the usb device (when plugged in) is attached to your parallels machine only, it should give you an option when booting it up.

Everything works as normal, Parallels really has no drawbacks, just follow the root instructions as if you were doing it on a native machine.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodmut:
I actually ended up just doing everything on my Mac natively, but thanks for the info! I think I was more confused on actually installing the SDK properly than anything else.
[Nook Color General] deeper-blue:
Since many people asked what I was doing these days:

[YOUTUBE]RJ_k4kdsaMk[/YOUTUBE]

The Nook Color running a healthy mix of Android 3.1 Honeycomb from the Xoom and Android 3.1 from Google's SDK.

As can be seen towards the end the Launcher application suffers from some drawing issues. The same issues can be observed in Google's SDK 3.1 emulator. The emulator and the nook both are doing software UI rendering instead of the new in 3.0 hardware accelerated UI rendering. Sadly the PowerVR SGX530 drivers that are (publicly) available right now are lacking some features to activate the hardware UI rendering on the nook. (like support for EGL_SWAP_BEHAVIOUR = EGL_BUFFER_PRESERVED

and the GL_OES_EGL_image_external extension). I started patching around those issues, which is hard without the access to the Android source, and can confirm that the nook's hardware is more than capable of running 3.0/3.1 hardware accelerated even though the source might need some patches if we don't get updated drivers for the SGX530.

So the status right now is: software UI with redraw issues or hardware UI with a working home screen but tons of more issues in other applications.

Other than that sound, wifi and opengl works. (no DSP/video decoding so far)

So who's up for solving the redrawing issues?

Possible solutions are:

getting our hands on a newer SGX530 driver than 1.1.16.4061

unpacking, patching and repacking Launcher2

?

waiting until Google releases the 3.1 AOSP source

-Rafael Brune
[Nook Color General] Bawb3:
It sucks but I feel our best bet is just to wait for source. There are a lot of honeycomb tablets slated for release over the next few months, I think once it becomes more widely available we'll see source.

Since we dont know when will be... all the time, effort, and trouble to get it fully working witout source - will be in vain once the source drop happens.

So unless the people involved don't care, cm7 is more than enough for now. We are lucky to even have that, my phone doesn't even have cm7 working for it.

My .2 anyways
[Nook Color General] Geniusdog254:
The problem is, Google has stated they won't be releasing Honeycomb source until it's integrated with the phone branch. I personally doubt that we see real source until Ice Cream is out.
[Nook Color General] grasstrout:
honeycomb source will never be released, google said so, we'll get Ice Cream Sandwich source which will be awesome on our nook's i'm sure
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:
ok all of you guys are real downers when you pretty much say "give up, source is the only way" now i know thats not what your literally saying but thats what im getting from your posts

@deeper-blue

good job dude, i would love to see a beta for this if its as stable as honeycomb v4(knowing your work it will be) a side from a few graphical errors(im assuming the same ones from the first SDK port) i think it can and probably will be a daily driver for most people here
[Nook Color General] bled82:
Any hope for USB host support with the port or once again not till source
[Nook Color General] cyburke:
hey THANKS for posting up what you've done and this very cool video... that was just awesome to see how far someone has gotten to get 3.1 running WELL on the nook.

mad props.
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
Nice work rafael!
[Nook Color General] Zorkman:
can't really help you out, but I'd just like to cheer you on :)
[Nook Color General] botossi:
+1 !

Keep up with the excelent work !!! :)
[Nook Color General] dr_tracker:
Completely agree, there are a couple of interesting apps in the market that take advantage of HC and would be great in the Nook.

If you ask me waiting for AOSP don't look as such a good idea, since it's release is not so sure.
[Nook Color General] arrjaytea:
deeper-blue: Quick question: which HC image are you running in the posted video?

Since the initial SDK image you did, I've not seen any run that smoothly.
