6.6.4 XE update

Just installed the new 6.6.4 XE update and I notice the phone to respond faster than it was which was extremely fast anyway, this new faux kernel is awesome and with the new adreno drivers it looks better too.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

weird cause mine installed with intellidemand on default set on boot when I flashed the new update
[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
Yeah, I thought I was the only one:-) NICE!!!
[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
Is it me or do the colors look more sharp and vibrant???
[HTC Sensation] anthonyly:
well i never understood what does it mean, when it asks me do i want to flash boot.img

stock or custom.... What does it mean?
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:
Thats for the kernel stock is for the one that comes with the phone custom is a overclocked on like Sebastian or faux
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:
They look better I notice that too
[HTC Sensation] nccruz:
I do not know what Mike1986 did but this 6.6.4 with faux6U is definitely responsive and quick...
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:
man is freaking fast, I love this rom more now lol
[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
OMG! I'm going to buy you a pizza and a case of beers when I get paid...I la la loooove
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
LMFAO :D

And thanks Mike for another great ROM :)
[HTC Sensation] nccruz:
ARHD 6.6.4 feedback

What's going on?????

Need to see more reviews on this ROM.....
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:
What do u need to know
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
ROM is great, very smooth and responsive, stable and reliable.

I highly recommend this ROM :)
[HTC Sensation] nccruz:
I am not having any issues.... and I am so thrilled how well this is performing that i want to hear if anyone has experienced anything wise or otherwise....

It must be so good that everyone is stunned?????
[HTC Sensation] carn2k:
I've tried several times to click on the link under ROMs list for 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 and still keep getting the error, "No working mirrors found for this file". Is there another link or another way we can get these files? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
Just flash the new update without superswipe

No nid to wipe batterystat?

Fast and stable really ARHD

How do i know if the new drivers has changed?

Tia
[HTC Sensation] nccruz:
Chrome Beta

I am still experiencing a lag when I go from Chrome Beta back to home page.... no different than previous ROMS....

anyone having a different experience?
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Well, it's still in beta so can't expect it to be perfect. :)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Try this one:

Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_3.6.13.zip

or this one:

Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_4.1.13.zip
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
They have changed. It is stated in the new version changelog. All you need to do is trust. However, if you want to check the drivers version you can download OpenGL extensions viewer but that doesn't help because old and new drivers has the same version number but they are different drivers.
[HTC Sensation] Exaxoid:
followed directions but now my htc reboots i tried restore but it stil reboots any adive or help please
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Follow this guide. Redo everything from scratch, that should work.

EDIT: After you set up everything go to this thread. Making a signature really help us and you.
[HTC Sensation] Sinistra425:
Anyone know of a good color icon mod that gets updated frequently. I am using lightninbug's mod right now he has been saying he is going to post an update by the end ofday and hasn't happened yet
[HTC Sensation] nccruz:
do not know your situation.... what rom are you coming from???? how about posting your specs...

I think joaquinf is right....
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
You want it updated more frequently than once a day? :eek:
[HTC Sensation] Sinistra425:
Seeing as his title dates the last update was 4/14 for the sense 3.6 mod?
[HTC Sensation] mwl1119:
Where can I find the black modded HTC keyboard with no arrows? I lost it after flashing and it was on my old memory card.

Edit... nevermind I was overlooking it.
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:
Since the arhd is so perfect there's nothing much to say lol
[HTC Sensation] jalyn02:
I think I've flashed almost every Sensation rom out there and this is the most stable, fastest, smoothest, most stockish ics rom out there! I can consider myself as a hardcore rom tester and I have almost every gadget there is, so I think it's okay to say this rom is very professional. Trust me, I love Peter Alfonso rom's for keeping the nexus line of devices as stock and fast and stable as possible and that's what makes me love this rom. I fell in love with the Sense 4.0 port that hanging around these threads, but this rom has me on cloud 9 with unbelievable satisfaction:-)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Sorry, had to tease you. :p We are still on Sense 3.6 last I checked though. No other version or base changes since then either, so much less rush to get things updated to the latest and greatest....especially when doing such things during our <limited> free time....
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Leedroid Tweaks has it included :)
[HTC Sensation] Exaxoid:
@

joaquinf THANK YOU IT WORKED i really thank you :) :) :) :) :D
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:
Welcome aboard, glad it work man, report any issues
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
How large is the xe Rom file
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
402mb mate. ;)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Finally got 6.6.4 loaded, so far so good, all mods in my sig tested and working well. Working fine with the latest 11.72 radio/4.0.0024 RIL.
[HTC Sensation] Shark_On_Land:
can u port this to the nexus s?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Same here I decided to make a clean installation. Though, i can confirm that flashing the ROM with faux kernel does set governor to ondemand by default and kernel must be reflashed to set intellidemand on boot.

So far so good, same config as my sig.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Thanks for that tip buddy. :)
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
no worries, always willing to help :D

For those without an CPU control app and want to check up what governor are you using type in terminal emulator

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

Or connect your phone via USB in charging mode, in your pc open CDM and type

adb shell
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

If you are on faux and want to have intellidemand by default just reflash the kernel as a ROM in recovery and check again.

NOTE: before flashing the .zip file remove init.post_boot.sh from faux kernel package as this is modifying mike's tweaks file, and most of them doesn't work

Thanks mike :)
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Mine is already set to intellidemand by default. :D
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Don't flash the kernel as standalone package, because faux is modifying my tweaks file, and most of them doesn't work. Or before flashing it as standalone .zip, remove init.post_boot.sh from his package :)
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
adb logcat showing GL_INVALID_ENUM

Hi guys, i have my phone now connected via adb logcat and i've noticed this line and that cought my attention:

E/Adreno200-ES20( 910): <qgl2DrvAPI_glTexParameteriv:416>: GL_INVALID_ENUM

It's all over the place specially after locking the screen, though it doesn't seem to follow any parameter it just appear randomly. :confused:

Any advice on this? could this be somehow related to new drivers? i don't force gpu rendering and im on 213 drivers version included in ARHD 6.6.4 by default. What other info could be helpful? this is repetitive with the screen on and off. I just made a full clean install, superwiped including sd card formatted.

Anyone can confirm this?

Thanks guys

EDIT: i've added some more screenshots with screen on and off after a while

EDIT2: Found a way to force this error message. Open weather app, while the weather animation is running this line is the only thing that logcat shows
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well as I already said, as well as loads of other people in the driver thread, there is no noticable change in battery drain...

And there is really one easy way for you to find out,

you just try it

;) It won't hurt, the worst that can happen is more drain, then you uncheck the option again and you're back to where you started off, not really difficult, is it ??

JP.
[HTC Sensation] strauss0829:
Is wifi calling fixed I heard rumor this mmight be fixed in 6.6.4?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hi,

Saw your post in the driver thread as well ... :(

Which driver are you one, 213 or 218 ?

Will try to check this when I have a PC handy and a little time (meeting this morning :()

JP.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Not yet. Tmob hasn't pushed the official ICS update that should contain wifi calling app optimized for ICS.

When is fixed it will be posted in the changelog, for sure.
[HTC Sensation] Charles Collins:
lol maybe. I hadn't installed it as I was hunting the house for the missing switch :-(
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
213 included in 6.6.4

Thanks, post your findings if possible :)
[HTC Sensation] Charles Collins:
Thanks, I have an app now for the volume control but it is for when I am in recovery that I am knackered, as you say.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Well, you can always plug your phone while being in bootloader and do fastboot commands like

Usage: fastboot [<option>] <command>

Commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
continue continue with autoboot
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
help show this help message

options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline
-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id
-b <base_addr> specify a custom kernel base address
-n <page size> specify the nand page size. default:
2048

EDIT: or remove the back cover to push the buttons directly in case you dont have a computer/usb cable handy :D
[HTC Sensation] graynes:
Im a little confused here sorry. I have a htc sensation but not the XE with beats audio. So i should install the rom with no XE in it right?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
You can flash either non-xe (without beats audio) or xe (with beats audio) version. Yes, the only difference is beats audio.
[HTC Sensation] charuc14:
Nope..... If you want beats audio in ur Sensation:), then install the one with XE.....
[HTC Sensation] bogdanpop74:
custom kernel on ARHD

good to know. reflashing and repair the mistake :D

thank`s mike
[HTC Sensation] graynes:
Thx mate. But would it give me something better by flashing the XE one then? or no?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
No, the only difference is beats audio ... and dice app which isn't included in the XE version :D
[HTC Sensation] graynes:
thx :)
[HTC Sensation] stevocz:
i now flash ARHD 6.6.4 and i see in changelog this:

Updated Adreno 220 drivers for ICS (2.13)

but before flash i had 6.6.3 in OpenGLES Extension viewer i have wrote 2.13 driver. what is different between driver in 6.6.3 and 6.6.4?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
:eek::eek::eek: why i didn't know that/haven't seen this post:confused: i guess i have to reflash the ROM.

Thanks for the info!! very much appreciated
[HTC Sensation] Charles Collins:
Further to this, I had a similar problem on my Desire and I had to download something from htcdev.com and this took me back to a state htc were happy with. I am on Virgin Mobile [UK] and I don't see anything there for VM. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Going to give VM and HTC a call before I do anything.
[HTC Sensation] feuerkette:
So i don't can flash the kernel from faux thread ?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
You can, but "before flashing the .zip file remove init.post_boot.sh from faux kernel package as this is modifying mike's tweaks file, and most of them doesn't work"
[HTC Sensation] feuerkette:
Ok,so I have to reflash:banghead:
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
After flashing this, my phone seems to be getting hotter
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
LOL yes .. i'm on it as well. Lesson learned
[HTC Sensation] ReeF666:
I must be going blind or something is going on with my computer. Is there any download links on the first post for 6.6.4 XE? People are saying they've successfully flashed it and I'll be darned if I can see where it is, haha.:o
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
So is mine! though, i have a naked carmen electra live wallpaper :D does that count?
[HTC Sensation] ReeF666:
A worthy sacrifice for a hot phone :p
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Hi! Don't use the links on the top of the post. Scroll down a bit and use the download links on the download section
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
That made me lol.... Still the problem is here... Phone is pretty warm... I flashed xe version over the regular version. All went well except for this heat problem
[HTC Sensation] ReeF666:
Strange, it isn't coming up in my browser.

In FF13.0 The image/link doesn't even appear, yet in IE9 they do.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Give it a few charging cycles, let things settle a bit. What kernel have you flashed?
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
I flashed the faux one when flashing rom. Phone was automatically warm.. but I switched kernal to bricked since I prefer that one. And the problem remains. But I'll let it settle I guess.

Edit: btw when going into 4ext for the first time after flashing... It said something about "theme corrupted" but I had no theme applied before or after flashing this Rom.... And I've never gotten that message before.
[HTC Sensation] Life Engineer:
So guys i am a bit lost!

Can i simply flash the rom with CWM and then flash it again, which will be done through 4EXT since it comes with the ROM?!?

(in other words i flash the first time just to get 4EXT and the get time to get the rom well installed)

Can i do this?! Coz the guide is long and i want to avoid such a path if possible!
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Well all you need to follow from the guide is this step:

Step 1. Flashing 4EXT recovery touch

During the installation of ARHD ROM you will be asked if you want to add/flash certain features ( i.e: stock or custom kernel, TMOUS 4g support, sony bravia engine, HQ camera mod, among other things). To make those choices you need to flash 4ext recovery touch before the ROM, if you decide to flash the ROM with CMW recovery this options will not appear. 4ext recovery touch is included in ARHD by default, any other recovery will be overwriten after the installation.

If you've decided not to flash ARHD and/or the ROM you've chosen do not require you to have 4EXT recovery touch installed, you can skip this section.

To dowload and install the newest version of 4ext recovery TOUCH (

v1.0.0.5 RC3

). (thanks to madmaxx82) use one of the following methods provided:

First method: Your phone

MUST

be rooted in order to install the 4ext recovery touch. Follow the Installation guide (thanks to LarsChristian).

Second method: This method is only for windows users. Download the user-friendly 4EXT Recovery touch flashing tool. Check the MD5 of the zip, extract the downloaded file and read the guide inside.

Is

highly recommended

to install the 4EXT Recovery Updater or 4EXT Recovery Control to keep up with the latest updates and news. Go to 4EXT thread or www.4ext.net.

Third method: Download this file, check the MD5 of the zip and install it following the steps 4 and 5 from post#1 in this thread.

If you get the "CID error" you'll need to know what your CID is and manually add it to the android-info.txt file contained in the .zip, or you can do SuperCID following Step4 in this guide and repeat the process afterwards.

NOTE: File used in third method WILL NOT install the needed 3.32 firmware in any way, only contains the recovery.img to flash 4ext recovery touch.

However, you can just flash the ROM with CMW and then flash it again and you will have 4EXT
[HTC Sensation] feuerkette:
I removed init file from faux kernel with esfile explorer and now I can't flash the kernel,installation aborted.any idea?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I guess you have to do it from a pc. I just flashed the .zip with the file removed (done on pc) and everything went perfect
[HTC Sensation] feuerkette:
Ok,thanks,I'll try at home
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Ondemand governor set on boot instead of intellidemand

Hi mike! could you please give us some advice for those who have the governor set as ondemand instead of intellidemand when flashing faux kernel? Is there any we can do besides creating an init script to set on boot?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Are you sure about this? Never done that actually...

I mean, Mike is adding faux's kernel on his ROM by default, shouldn't it be modified before he adds it to the ROM then?

If we flash ARHD with faux then what can we do to restore Mike's init instead of faux's?

Some help here please!

Asking about it just above, never read it...
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Hey. I see you have the anker 1900 mAh battery. So how's it? Does it take a longer time to charge than the stock one? I'm planning on buying it soon. :D
[HTC Sensation] 92drls:
I'm downloading .4 XE at 14.4 kB/s, sounds like it's worth the weight since everyone's downloading it at the same time lol
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Totally worth it. :D
[HTC Sensation] charuc14:
Guys, just one doubt, Does the Bravia Engine Mod in ARHD cause the battery to drain???
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Hi! i didn't know that till mike today drop that bomb :p read here

All i can say is that it's one of the best thing you can buy for this phone. Totally worth it, get it and you won't regret
[HTC Sensation] feuerkette:
Or is it possible to copy the init file from system/etc/ and then flash faux kernel.then delete init file and paste original file and reboot?what do you think?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I guess that will work, but deleting the file directly from the .zip seems a lot easier to me.
[HTC Sensation] feuerkette:
Yes,but I have no pc at work,and yes I'm a flashaholic:what:
[HTC Sensation] charuc14:
Guys, please tell.....Does the Bravia Engine Mod in ARHD cause the battery to drain???
[HTC Sensation] ltcaugust13:
The recommended as shown in my sig...
[HTC Sensation] ltcaugust13:
Damm... Ur right...

Now I feel sad again...

LOL...
[HTC Sensation] joshua:
speednet cannot test wifi speed...only data de...
[HTC Sensation] iJohnny:
Is this Google maps with world navigation activated?
[HTC Sensation] ltcaugust13:
Alright...

Did it again without WiFi...

Still better than before which was less than 1Mbps...

LOL...

mike1986

heads up mike the file Extended Quick Settings with 4G Icon (version 0.1) for Android Revolution HD 2.1.x does not work it does give u the quick settings but no 4g...in fact with this mod u cant pick WCDMA only in settings, go to settings/wireless/mobile network to WCDMA only and it changes back to auto right away?! i dont use this anyway just testing it for u :)

*stock rom and every other time i run wcdma only it works fine, the quick settings file kills it
[HTC Sensation] rizocreations:
um. yea it does. i'm running extended quick settings with 4g icon on my sensation. everything works perfect. and all my network mode choices are there. wcdma only, gsm only gsm/wcdma auto.. blah blah blah
[HTC Sensation] kripwalk:
LOL your already starting on 3.0.0? When its released are we going to need to superwipe or will it have the same base as 2.1.0?
[HTC Sensation] fallenangel408:
:confused: ill try it again, thanks

*not saying the modes vanished(saying the wcdma only can u try to click that and see if it stays on wcdma only or does it go back to auto), saying i dont get the 4g symbol at all.
[HTC Sensation] MeteorFlare:
I just creamed my pants when I saw ARHD 3.0.0
[HTC Sensation] rizocreations:
where i am i always seem to have the 4g going at all times.

checked WCDMA only, it reset the connection and came back with 4g icon on top

changed to gsm only, it reset and came back with with crappy E lol

i just leave it at auto,

but the extended settings is there too

everything is just peachy for me, weird how its not working for you
[HTC Sensation] fallenangel408:
**works...tried it like 6times yest night?!?! :rolleyes: working fine now! nevermind mike
[HTC Sensation] rizocreations:

[HTC Sensation] xCALLmeKING:
All I have to say is WOW!!! This past charge cycle gave me 34 HOURS...Holy ****!

On a sidenote, Im waiting on some funds to transfer into my Paypal account (appx. 3-5 days) to send donation for Mike's device. Hopefully won't be too late!
[HTC Sensation] joshua:
Its stated in the changelog...
[HTC Sensation] ikhtiaralam:

[HTC Sensation] fallenangel408:
:eek:was ur phone off the whole time? jk what was ur usage though? that is AMAZING! u must have one of those 3000mah batteries;)
[HTC Sensation] kripwalk:

Oh thank god nvm it went
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Hi

I'm getting this error while trying to save a mms picture. It was the same with 6.6.3 and yesterday I flashed 6.6.4 and its still same.

Any ideas ?

I have about 200mb free on my sd card.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] nkojic:
how to flesh faux kernel without that file from pc? Never done that before??
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
LOL .. don't worry i got your back ;)

Faux v006u kernel without init.post_boot.sh file:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0l99v3wcion9miq/Pyramid-ICS-sense-006b6.zip
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
To be honest, I ain't sure it does anything at all, some said its placebo ;)
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
It shouldn't buddy nor seems to improve the quality :D this mod for me is totally a placebo effect
[HTC Sensation] feuerkette:
To late:eek:
[HTC Sensation] charuc14:
Thanks guys.....
[HTC Sensation] feuerkette:
Now I'm confused,copy init file ,flashed faux kernel and delete init file,paste original init file and reboot.Kernel shows ondemand:confused:.Than I flashed your file and reboot and still ondemand:confused:
[HTC Sensation] kwjimmy:
i tired Faux v006u but i noticed it increased the heat of my cpu a lot faster than bricked ,, is this same for everyone? or is this just me :confused:
[HTC Sensation] slopppy:
Yeah me too mate. I lost patience and just re-installed SetCPU :D

No profiles, no tweaks, just so it will set intellidemand on boot.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Could you please check the CPU times with system tuner and verify if cpu0 is most of the time stuck @ 1.5GHz?? Also, check what governor are you on?

I've noticed those two things in this release. Maybe worth a look mike?

Only workaround for the moment was set on boot intellidemand 192-1510 using System Tuner

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] daredevil_off:
nice :)

but after flashing the rom, we also need to flash RIL if we want HTC-RIL 4.0.0024HMQ to match radio 11.72.3504.00U_11.23.3504.08_M2 since the default RIL in Mike's rom is HTC-RIL 4.0.0013HMQ, i guess!!

also build.prop file should be modified to match ro.ril.hspxa settings to 2 or 3!

mine is set to 3!

yeap, it seem like that, second time flashing it, still same: Ondemand

same here build.prop file should be modified to prevent taking random screenshots due to sweep2wake.
[HTC Sensation] PuscH:
If you install faux during ARHD install then you are fine. Nothing to worry about as it comes with Mike's init.post_boot.sh.

In case you are flashing faux' kernel as standalone version then you should remove the init.post_boot.sh from kernel's zip before flashing.

Mike's init.post_boot.sh sets ondemand as default governor. If you want to change this, open "/etc/init.post_boot.sh" in ESExplorer for example and look for "#Tweak IntelliDemand governor by faux123 (kernel must include this governor!)".

Within the following code block you'll find

now either comment out those 3 lines by putting a # in front of each line or replace "ondemand" with "intellidemand". reboot and intellidemand should be set as default governor.
