Is this built into 6.5.3 as I am on Orange and it would be useful. Or is it available as an extra? If so where?

Ta
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
its built into the rom... settings > calls > use wifi calling
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Try choosing Yes when the installer asks if you have a Tmobile US Sensation 4g so the Wifi Calling application is installed, then let us know if WiFi Calling works.

Just to make sure you understand, WiFi Calling is flaky at best for ICS ROMs as TMobile has not released an ICS-updated version yet so the ROM chefs have included the WiFi Calling files from Gingerbread ROMs with varying degrees of success, so it may work for you sometimes and sometimes not.
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
I didnt install the TMOUS option and i have wifi calling
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Really, that is interesting. Maybe TMOUS does it differently than elsewhere in the world. Did you have to do any other setup or configuration?
[HTC Sensation] adicken:
cheers! Will give it a go.
[HTC Sensation] crownless:
how can i install beats audio?

I have build number 3.32.401.5. Sould I change it to x.105 and how?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Just flash the 6.5.3 XE ROM and start the stock music player with headphones plugged in.
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Is zram enabled by default?

I maybe flash faux kernel hence my question.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
It is enabled by default if you chose the Sebastian kernel during install. If you flash Faux right now, you will lose zram since Faux doesn't have it enabled for the current beta builds.
[HTC Sensation] GuyAdams:
Yes in 6.5.3 zram is enabled.

EDIT: Beaten to it ;)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Better get some practice in then, h/t Kohr-Ah :D
[HTC Sensation] GuyAdams:
wow that could get addictive but I fear it will take more than a little typing practice to beat you guys :)
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
I don't exactly get what does Zram does... I read the article smbdy set before about linux Zram and so on but... how does this affect to our phone exactly? More smooth? Less lag? Better/Worse battery life?

Btw... how can we check it's results? to how many Mb's is it set? (I read something about putting it to 100Mb, 25Mb or everything...)

Thanks for info and sorry for n00b asking, search for a while and found no answer...
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
nope just the option to use internet calling, for all calls / internet calls / ask on call.
[HTC Sensation] bradmax57:
im currently using 6.5.2 XE version which is pretty good, is a full wipe needed to 6.5.3?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
It uses compression in RAM so it gives you effectively more RAM at a slight performance cost.

open terminal on the phone, type in su, accept the Superuser prompt, type in

free

if swap shows anything other than 0 0 0 then you are swapping.

No.
[HTC Sensation] nkojic:
I think that my phone was faster when i was on 6.5.2. Dont know why but when I press settings button then it seems like there is some pause till it open this menu. And the same is with all settings. First green mark on settings i have select it, and then it opened the file....maybe is the kernel dont know...
[HTC Sensation] GuyAdams:
I enabled ZRAM in 6.5.2 and actually found general moving around, home, settings, app draw etc was smoother over all.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
you know that you are actually using a linux based ecosystem on your phone .. So your phone is a tiny linux machine. zram feature should improve the overall performance and RAM management . Your phone should run even more faster and smoother . It should also improve multi tasking . We will see how much visible is these changes !!
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
6.5.3 install problem - I did an install with no superwipe, stock kernel. All my apps which were on the SD card did not seem to be there, but left remnants behind. I am reinstalling them all now from the market. Then I will move them to the phone from the SD.
[HTC Sensation] Rainico:
You are sure Faux kernel disabled Z-Ram ?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Pretty sure since it is still beta and Faux said that he was not going to enable ZRAM until it was out of beta status.
[HTC Sensation] Rainico:
Okay very thx :)

I keep stock kernel ;)

is that it is not possible to flash the kernel of the Rom and take that of Sebastian but 1.5Ghz this time?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I am not positive I understand your question, but yes, you can reflash the ROM over itself without superwipe and choose different kernel options during the install. I believe that the Sebastian kernel is running at 1.6G and swap is automatically enabled, haven't tested it yet.

Edit: Just tested, Sebastian's kernel is running at 1620MHz and swap is enabled by default. Stock kernel was running at 1.2G, no swap.
[HTC Sensation] Rainico:
I juste want 1.5Ghz and no 1.6 Ghz. So I like to know if I can flash the zip Sebastian 1.5Ghz and not that of the rom 6.5.3 (1.6Ghz)? That's the same?
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
flash the stock kernel during install this will give you sebastians 1.5ghz kernel
[HTC Sensation] fmedrano1977:
http://forums.infectedrom.com/forumdisplay.php/85-HTC-Sensation
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Yes, I would suggest that you flash the ROM and choose the Sebastian kernel, then after boot flash the 1.5G kernel from Sebastian's thread
[HTC Sensation] Rainico:
If I flash Stock kernel during install it's 1.2Ghz in hardware informations

Okay very thx mf2112 :)

v1.30.2 or v1.30.3 ?

1.30.2 seems more stable at the moment but 1.30.3 comes with overclocked GPU and may prove better for gaming.

For me definitely 1.30.2. Tried both using 6.5.3 and .3 version caused me a little more CPU temp... don't want to fry my OverClocked CPU :S Too risky to force GPU and then go playing Asphalt or so... For me it's 1.30.2 until GPU it's optional ;)

my phone was burning up after the .5.3 update. Wondering if its just mine or others also. Unable at the same time to also charge my phone as a result too. :confused:

using the newest kernel perhaps?
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
once the battery reaches a certain temperature, it will stop charging to avoid it over heating. its a safety feature to stop the battery blowing up.

let it cool down and see how you get on.

extreme overclocking + gaming can cause this. even more so if you have the phone in a case or a hot room.
[HTC Sensation] phil.W:
wasn't any gaming involved, was simply using the phone for a small period of time.
[HTC Sensation] altroy2:
Alright can someone please tell me how all of you see the cool install options that you are talking about. All I do is flash the rom the old school way and get the regular htc initial set up. Is this option only with the XE version?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
If you had CWM installed then you won't get the options. You should now have 4ext installed however, so just reflash the ROM over itself and you will get options.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
You need to install 4ext recovery TOUCH in order to be prompted with the options

Stuck in Boot Loop

Hey folks,

I am currently running the Gingerbread from Android Revolution (100% stable) so I thought I'd try the ICS from Android Revolution and was forwarded to the Firmware thread since a new one is required.

Soo, I didn't think I would have time to complete the whole process and just upgraded the radio first (recommended in this thread) and planned on finishing up tonight. Well, immediately after updating to the recommended radio, the phone shut itself off 3 times while in sleep mode. Had to re-seat battery each time to get back on.

With that development I decided to finish the whole process and put the required firmware on the sd card and booted and followed the instructions: "Do you want to start the update?" I selected yes, all completed and now Boot Loop!

No problem right, just try again? Well, now everytime I try to get into recovery (vol down+power) I get the Do you want to start the update? Yes/No. Yes: well of course does not work for getting phone booted fully and No just prompts to reboot..................to Boot Loop. I cannot even get to cwm unless I pull the SD card. But what good is that?

Been doing some research and one poster stated to another having the same issue that he was supposed to have ALL the necessary files on the SD card first: 1. Superwipe, 2. This Firmware, and 3. Android Rev ROM BEFORE starting the process.

Is this correct? If I can't get fully booted, How am I supposed to get the other 2 files onto the SD card? Am I hosed?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

P.S. This is wife's phone so a quick response may help prevent me from sleeping in the spare bedroom tonight. Thanks!!
[HTC Sensation] altroy2:
Just relized it. thx!

Man I've been away for too long! Haha

6.5.3 upgrade recovery loop

Hey,

When I try to upgrade from 6.5.2 XE to 6.5.3 XE with stock kernel in both cases I get stuck in a loop. Recovery just keeps on booting in recovery.

It's not a problem since I can restore 6.5.2 from backuo.

But I'm curious if I'm the only one.

I installed (several times)

a) without superwipe

b) as a non 4G

c) with Sony Bravia Engine

d) not with Sebastian's overclocked kernel

e) with the supercharger option.

All this apparently works fine, but when I reboot I can only get back into recovery.

As mentioned the way to break this cycle is by restoring my backup.

Any thoughts to the 'why'?

best regards,
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Maybe a bad download? Did you check MD5 before flashing?

Yeah, you don't want to change permissions on all the files in the folder, just the picture files. So you just do the fix permissions in 4ext, reboot then run the command above and your pictures should work. Might have to reboot once more there, not sure.

update: Checked out the second post, PM'ed Jotha to request an update :D PaulGiz was the original source for that, and I misremembered the permissions slightly.

Fix permissions from first page works for GB, not ICS.

Open terminal and type this:

Make surevyou fix permissions first to clear error, then never again or you will lose this.

Strange touch issue.

I had this issue previously on my first flash, with other games, but after the re wipe and flash it's having issues with only one game, WORMS. My favourite mobile game of all time it's the first thing to go in every phone, so it's really annoying.

It was restored via titanium.

I have no idea why this would be the only thing effected. Although touch and swipe sensitivity does seem higher in this version than old sense.

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] GuyAdams:
Yeah sorry about that :o I've only had the message contact pictures issue in 6.5.2 and 6.5.3 probably as a result of upgrading without superwiping a few times so haven't needed to use the fix.

Hello I flashed 6.5.3 stock kernel with supercharger. But I tried installing 81swap. Now its not swapping. But on my previous 6.5.2 with stock Sebastian kernel .2 it was working. Am I doing something wrong here?

I figured it out now. Stock kernel doesnst support zram :) poor noob me.

[HTC Sensation] Awestrike:
If you do choose to reflash to get ZRAM, the 81swap script isn't necessary anymore since Mike already has it enabled in the ROM by default.

Oh, and if anyone else is worried about leaving that file in the init.d folder, mf2112 and I discovered that flashing 6.5.3 cleans that folder so it doesn't seem to be necessary to delete it. You still can, if you want, though. :P

Thank you very much. I removed my 81swap from init.d folder now. And its still working. Probably just because Stock HTC kernel doesn't have support for zram that's why I failed to make it work the first time I flashed 6.5.3

random shutdowns

for the past week or so i have been experiencing random shut downs. At any point while using the phone the phone will completely shutdown. I have to hit the power button again to restart the phone. I was able to recreate the problem once or twice by feverishly opening and closing apps.

I have superwiped, re-flashed rom, fixed permissions...etc...problem still persists.

I have checked /proc folder, but no last_kmsg is being generated

i also ran Catlog app until crash but the log (to my eyes) didnt show the point at which the system crashed.

any insight? Any ideas on what i could do to find the cause of all this?

been with ARHD since 1.1.5 or so and this is my first major problem i couldnt find an answer for.

Thanks in advance,

If i have the rcmix 2.3 kernel on 1.1.7, do i have to flash the stock kernel to use 2.1.0 or when i flash it will it also flash the stock kernel?
[HTC Sensation] jetjockgordo:
Nice work Mike!

A few questions...

I was having problems with my bone-stock TMoUs Sensation with my car in that my Bluetooth would drop on a regular basis and after flashing 1.1.8 it would still do it (makes sense since the kernel was the same) so I flashed RCMix 1.0 and now the BT works perfect! Soooo, I would like to try 2.1.0 but guess that would restore the OEM kernel and I might have BT issues again, right?

Also, I am still fuzzy on the best way to update Kernels and ROM's without spending hours installing/configuring everything (I know this has been asked a million times but some answers have me confused with regard to ROM/Kernel updates). I have Titanium Pro but that is not very intuitive to use (coming from WinMo and SPB Backup!).

I would like to do whatever is needed to help with battery life since it has dropped a fair amount since rooting and swapping the ROM and kernel but I don't want to go back to BT that keeps disconnecting. BTW, I did not make any changes in Daemon and left it default as you recommended.

Thanks!!

It is TMOUS specific radio config data. It should help you if you have TMOUS service, most of the reports indicate that it helped improve signal and reception to some degree. If you want to come up from GB, Follow Joaquinf's guide.. To undo it, I believe you can reflash the firmware package from post 1, or use one of Kohr-Ah's friendly firmware packages. A ROM flash will not overwrite it.

One cautionary note, WiFi calling is flaky on ICS ROM's since TMOUS has not come out with an ICS update yet. The ROM chefs have included the GB WiFi Calling files to varying degrees of success, so YMMV. My luck has not been great so far, but others have reported good success with it.

Oh then i dont think there's any need for me to flash this than. Since the last ICS roms have been put out my usual data speed is 12-15mb down and 4mb up data wise and 20-27mb down and 5mb up wifi wise so i guess my signal is already good. Don't wanna flash something i have no need for then. thanks for the info. I've been runnin ICS for a while now and was just wondering if it was a different radio or not and how seeing ics is just now being officially released to our sensations this week here in Wisconsin in the U.S. Even though i dont know how cause wouldnt they of released test builds just like the others for over seas and stuff.:confused: And Btw to the post above mine, You live in Chicago from what your sig shows which is pretty close to me here in Milwaukee Wi so you should be getting the update to shouldn't you.And i always beg people not to rate these amazing roms on if the wifi calling works also cause it sucks stock straight from t-mobile as i mentioned many times. right when i got my phone out the box i tried it and everyone was always like,"huh" "i cant hear you". and i have a 100mb down 10mb up speed connection from time warner cable here in my city so if it wasnt just a crappy app in general it would work flawlessly in my home.
