First of all, thank you Mike1986 for making this great rom! :p

Ok, I made a theme for the 4G icons that some of you might find useful (as I saw a lot of posts about this). It changes the H icon back to the 4G icon. 3G icon is still there too, whenever the HTC Sensation detects a regular 3G connection... This theme also changes the battery to digital (read in increments of 10). I'm a noob at themes but AFAIK there was not a theme available for the Android Revolution HD that did exactly what I wanted (4G back with digital battery). So hopefully someone will find this of some use. You may want to back up your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk in case something goes wrong. This is working on my t-mobile HTC Sensation 4g running Android Revolution HD 3.6.2 XE. To use, just flash and install the zip using the normal recovery mode method.

To recap this theme changes:

3G+ and H icons to 4G

signal bar to 5 bars

digital battery readout on the notification bar

[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
That's what I thought I calibrated already and this problem didn't occur until I flashed the mod. Just went from 99 to 92. As I'm writing
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Wow, I'm impressed. just waiting for Mike's answer, because this is interesting.

Can I ask you if thumbnails on your gallery are a little bit laggy to appear when you scroll quickly, with those changes (if you have a big folder of course)? I mean, when I scroll on 3.6 result is always instantaneous.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
But those pure battery mods are only a collection of small pics with the different percentages on them. There is no functionality in them. So I don't see how they could influence battery life :confused:.
[HTC Sensation] krugm0f0:
Wow, thanks. Easy fix :)
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
Can someone point me to where I can find the stock kernel for 2.3.4?

Thanks, in advance.
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
Well yes but if you want to get anal!!!!!

No, I agree one would not see much difference in using different Graphics to represent a system statistic, but if you really want to try to be silly, you could say that brighter colors use more energy to display than darker colors and therefore could affect battery life. But really, I don't think that little graphic could cause a noticable difference in power consumption, unless of course the graphic is a whole home screen! :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Let me clarify I don't think my battery is effected as far as life is concerned.

However I do not believe the right percentage is being displayed is all cause as I said the image jumps back and forth between numbers but the fully charged indicator remains after a full charge.

Battery seems to be the biggest issue as of now for me on 3.6.2 no matter what kernel I use. And I've had the glowing mod on the entire time since flash.

I've only been unplugged for 1 he and 45 min and I'm down to 83 percent just sitting in ly pocket. (or so it says).
[HTC Sensation] krugm0f0:
I got no access to edit the file.
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
No, wrong. Display energy depends only on brightness of backlight led, not on brightness of liquid crystals. White background needs not more energy than black background (at same LED brightness).
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Actually, every kernel seems to give good results with 3.6.2 for me.

I don't use the included kernel since I want the possibility to reach 1.782ghz sometimes, so I falsh performances editions.

Faux123's kernels have never caused my phone to reboot, sometimes I use it, sometimes I use bricked, I mean both are very good, maybe Faux is to be recommended for non-gamers.

PS: Jotah is right, as usual, I was too rude in my last post (french way is rude), sorry, I had just been talking to people with the new i-phone before posting, and I had to litterally SHOW them that my Sensation beats the iphone4GS at Browsermark benchmark. lol I was not in a good mood

...and read there a few posts with about the same tone: "I don't play games, I don't run bench, I never use 3D, but can tell my phone is super fast ^^"

The most important in my previous post was: "Try it by yourself, don't truste everything written here", including me
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
you have to mount your file system as read write using ES file explorer with root access.

then you should be able to edit the file..
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
That happens on stock phone too!

If it makes you feel any better, that happens with straight stock phone from time to time as well. Could be the battery itself, discharging inconsistantly or it could be some program that is running in the background after use, not really shutting down all the way. Or it may even be the nature of the hardware that was used to build the phone. I just go by hours of use, If I get close to eight hours with heavy use I am content, if I get twelve with minimum use, I am content, If I get twenty or more with very little use, I am content. The actual manual's tech specs say Talk time:

Up to 8 hours

Standby time:

Up to 21 days

I can't believe the twenty one days, let me know if anybody has acheived this, the only way I could see that happening is if you have the phone off for twenty of those days!!!!! Peace, V:p
[HTC Sensation] oooripooo:
Hey guys, I'm running 3.6.2 on my sensation xe. Root and s-off works like for the "normal" sensation. See no differences between the stock Rom and mikes beautiful one;-)

The 4.1.3 Rom works too. But the Beats function i've installed doesn't works like the one in 3.6.2. That's the reason why I changed back. The only question I have is, where can I get the advanced quick settings?
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
To be honest, I haven't loaded the gallery until just now after I read your question haha. Here's what I did:

I just opened it, and it took a while for the thumbnails to load, but I would think that it's a one-time issue because no cache had been developed for the thumbnails. It's still loading between 10-12 thumbnails a second though, faster than stock by far. The gallery is more crisp and clean with 3.5 as well.

After they all loaded for the first time, I closed out of gallery and went back in after a reboot. They load pretty much instantaneously now that the thumbnail cache has been developed.

So to answer your question, it's pretty damn fast after I loaded them an initial time.

Smokin' fast ROM. Mike1986 is the man.
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
That funny, that is not what I read at the HTC forum.

When it comes to power consumption and battery life, there seems to be a varied amount of disagreeing statements. It just seems you read one thing here from the source of the phone and battery college and another thing here saying something different. I think when it comes to power consumption, it's a mystery why some people get more life out of a single charge than others that use the phone for the same time and have the same drivers, apps, and syncs set. Once again I think not only are all phones not created equal, but batteries as well. Peace, V:confused:

[HTC Sensation] krugm0f0:
Backup and restore are within recovery.
[HTC Sensation] seferon33:
Thank you for you respond. So at this point i could Backup just going to recovery is this correct.
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
I know what you mean.

Sometimes you're away for a day and come and start reading the thread where you left off. You notice someone asked a question or made a statement that you would like to answer and you go ahead and give the advice or whatever, only to find out that it was answered three times a couple of pages ahead of where you are.

I have learned not to say anything until I get caught up with all reading and reach the last page of the thread.

Fortunatly, things here have slowed down to a point that is managable to say up with after only spending fifteen minutes or so. Plus, what looks like a great deal of reading by post count turns out to be a quater page of reading and three quaters of a page of signatures and graphic banners, some banners consume more than ninty percent of the post!!!! Take mine for example, it's pretty huge compared to this text!!!! Just saying, I feel ya. ;)

Hi guys, not sure if this has been asked somewhere, but I'm get constant force closes for everything (it's not a superuser issue because I'm using 3.0.2, the prompt comes up, and this happens to non-root apps).

The force close is preceeded by a lag, then a message saying that the app isn't responding. If you press "wait" and wait for a moment, the app completes its task.

To remedy the situation, I changed windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec from 60 to 90 and it pretty much goes away.

Hi, I hope i'm not asking a repeat question, i've researched thread and other forums and couldn't find the answer, hopefully its not just my phone:(. But am running most current ARHD with faux123 and i am getting really slow data speeds i read that if i change my APN protocol to IvP6 from 4 it would improve my speeds. Now i tried to go into my APN settings and this is what i have found. under my APN settings these are my options... Please Tell me where to change IpV4 to IpV6... I cannot see anything that says "apn protocol" I have filled in the values that my phone reads under these options as well.

Interesting, cause when I tried 4.1.2 gallery was so slow to load thumbnails (I'm not talking of first time, because thumbnails have to be built) that I thought sense 3.5 was very slow. how many pictures do you have in gallery?

I'll have a try of the other radio and RIL - is it ordinary flash by CWM?

I'll try gallery before loading any program or account, so I'll be able to see empty rom speed .
[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
This actually looks really nice, very good job. I havent seen a battery meter that I liked much more than the stock battery look (maybe with percentage text inside), but the digital is really growing on me. Good color choice for the digits too, blends in just right while still standing out.

The only thing I would mention to others (and that I would like to see done) is that although the H is gone and replaced by the 4G, mine still reverts to the 3G icon when no data is transferred just like it did with the H. On a stock T-Mobile ROM, it would sit with the 4G icon up there to let me know I was in a 4G coverage area. When I moved out of that, it would drop to Edge, 2G, whatever it said (I forget now). Since there is "no such thing" as 3G for T-Mobile anymore, maybe you could just replace all the 3G icons with 4G icons? See here for reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_USA#Radio_frequency_spectrum_chart

Oh, and I took a couple screen shots for you real fast too, attached below (had to catch it while it was still showing the 4G icon though).

~T.J.

EDIT: Looks like I just gave you your first "thanks" under your username. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] fallenangel408:
yes, grab radio of choice, rename it if not already to PG58IMG and just start recovery it will ask u to update volume up say yes and wait after restart remove PG58IMG file and then go back into recovery(if u still have this file in sd card u cant get into recovery :)) then do CWM and install RIL
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Hi, and thanks a lot. but just a question :

I see you have 2 radios : 10.14 for 3.6.1 and 10.15 for 4.1.

So, wouldn't you try to keep 10.14 for 4.1? (with the right RIL of course) as Jimmah555 advises?
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
It's not in apn settings!

What you are looking for is not in APN settings, it's in some other library file, I'm not sure where it was discussed but I would look under file manager, mount system and go through build.prop file searching for this, I am not sure since it was posted many pages back probably over one hundred by now, maybe PM mike and he'll give you the correct place to look! Sorry, I can not find the post, I'll search it and see if I can find it for you. V:confused:

Here's what one user is doing, hard to search for your specific question: Just thought I'd give an update on radios, kernels and bootloops...

I've tried all of the TMUS ones now. ALL of them give me poor speeds except for the 10.11.9007.15. With 15 I'm getting nearly double the speeds I was getting with 2_2 and 01. Both 2_2 and 01 had my phone averaging about 600KB/s no matter where I went. But with 15, I'm averaging around 1100KB/s everywhere.

I'm on ARHD 3.6.2 and I flashed the RILs for 01 and 15. I didn't flash RILs for 2_2 since the ROM is already setup for 2_2.

Can anyone confirm this?

As for the Kernels, Faux's Kernel 2.1 is rocking. I was getting a blue tint on many of my WMVs playing on 1.9, but 2.1 fixed it. Also, with both 1.9 and 2.1 I haven't had any boot loops. I switched to 2.1 while I was still on 3.6.1 and everything's been rock solid.

It seems that 3.6.2 is indeed faster than 3.6.1 as EVERYTHING is snappier.

I've installed the Amaze camera mod and it's working flawlessly.

I'll report back with my battery life.

My setup:

ARHD 3.6.2

Faux123 Kernel 2.1 @ 1.56Ghz

Chainfire 3D OpenGL Driver

ADW standard

Amaze Camera Mod

Radio 10.11.9007.15 (with RILs)
[HTC Sensation] fallenangel408:
its ur preference, where i live in california both radios are pretty identical to my reception and gps so i just left the one on 4.1 which runs just as fast and crisp as 3.6 :) u may find that a diff radio works for u better i just tried them all one day :D

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Hello,I have one question about radio flashing.I am on ARHD 3.6.2

With faux kernel.Radio is 10.56....../10.15.......

So now my question,I read full about RIL files but I never flashed these files .is this recommend to do ? And when yes which RIL must I flash?Thank for the guy who helped me with this question.

P.s. My phone runs without any problems ,only superuser(reinstalled the update ,fine now ) has Fc.Great Rom Mike .Thank you
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
Well 4.1.3 has ZRAM re-enabled, and that may be responsible for the boost in responsiveness. It was disabled in 4.1.2 because of some bugs. Also, I know running the improper radio and RIL will make things slow down a bit as well. Mess around with some stuff. See what works. These toys are great!
[HTC Sensation] vinas1:
Cool T.J. I'm glad someone else out there could use that theme. My phone will display 3G even when sending data -- so that's why I left it in there. I know I saw a stock t-mobile theme that would change it back to 4G for 3G and H. And yes those screen shots look great (my SU broke today with the update)... Cheers! :D
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Maybe but I get the best results with 3.6.1 with bricked 0.91 :

I get also 23-24fps on Quadrant yellow video and between 37 - 28 on ADN video

when I scroll my pictures (2'200 picture) very fast , I get instant thumbnails. quicker than on 3.6.2 with faux. I don't even see black cells.

My battery life is really excellent after two full charges. after 3.5 hours with a long 20 mns call , a quadrant benchmark and 25 mns screen on, It went from 100% to 95%

I have not had these results with any other rom

After how many days running? did you do a nandroid backup after rom install?

Edit : Good for you. it's always better to check whether the plug is connected than to buy a new device
[HTC Sensation] BshadoW1:
im on ARHD 3.6.2 ,

after couple of minutes of playing games but phone is super hot i mean i cant even touch the bottom part of the phone (where the home button etc is at)

anyway i know there are some solutions or think there are solutions ,

i would like to know which one you think is the best?

solutions that i think will help:

1. run the patch to down clock to 1.2 - in mike's first post

2. run the thermal patch on faux kernel's thread

3. change my kernel to bricked kernel

if you have other suggestions it will be really good to hear them out.
[HTC Sensation] KevinDJ:
Since yesterday. No I didn't do a nandroid backup.
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Maybe you should modify the brightness ? screen heats the phone
[HTC Sensation] BshadoW1:
its not that kind of heat.

its super heat , and it wasnt like this before i had the rom , so i guess it's rom issue that should be resolved

also my brightness is on auto so i guess there is no reason to play with it

SuperUser FC Fix / Solution

Hey, SuperUser can be fixed...

Clear DATA though applications manager

Run SuperUser

Go to Preferences

Turn OFF : Logging, Toast Notifications

If still crashing, repeat steps and also set Automatic Responce : Allow (instead of Prompt)

hope it helps, spread the good word
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Faux's thermal patch works very well for me. Doesn't affect performance at all, but keeps things from going crazy.

Slowing down the clock will help, but gaming is speed intensive, so maybe you might not want to do that.

Have no experience with gaming or Bricked kernels. Do a nandroid and give Bricked a whack. May work for you, may not. Totally reversible, so it could be worth a try.

[HTC Sensation] fallenangel408:
thanks for the heads up, fixing now let u know when its done thanks again for testing it
[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
Well, that's what I was getting at. T-Mobile doesn't use 3G anymore from what I've been seeing/reading. What I think you are seeing is a different band of what they are now calling 4G. Thus, with a stock ROM, it would most likely be showing you a 4G icon instead of the 3G icon.

Again, from what I understand, there should be no 3G icons for a US T-Mobile ROM - at least thats my understanding. Its either nothing, 2G (EDGE) or 4G. Then again, Ive been known to be wrong.

Also, I noticed mine seems to stay at 100 battery all the time, any ideas? I know you said its graduated by 10, but my other battery tool says 85% and I still show 100% on the status bar. I cracked open the theme, and I see in the theme (to play with my own 4G icons) there are icons for every percentage, so why the graduation by 10?
