[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
ATTN 6.1.0 Users: Avoid the hexedit 4.0.3 ICS kernels

Just verified that (at least) the 1.73Ghz version of SebastianFM's hexedited kernels causes HTC Sense FC (will never fully load wthout FC) and the flickering display brightness.

I never opened the default browser on 6.1.0 and my installation of the 3.24 firmware + 6.1.0 ROM went flawlessly as follows:

Titanium BU'd all the user apps I care about

Performed a nandroid BU of my 6.0.3 ROM

Powered down and verified my sdcard can be accessed on my laptop

copied the PG58IMG.zip file from mike's link to the firmware to my sdcard root and verified the md5 check sum

put the sdcard back in my phone and closed it up

held volume-down + power buttons to boot into the bootloader

waited for the firmware package to be found and confirmed to update as prompted

watched it check off each step of the update including the one reboot towards the last few items

Once it completed successfully and prompted me to reboot, I instead pulled the battery out

removed the sdcard fomr my phone and attached it to my laptop

deleted the PG58IMG.zip from the sdcard root

copied the super wipe and 6.1.0 ROM zip files to the sdcard

removed the sdcard from my laptop and returned it to my phone

once again held volume-down + power to boot. selected recovery this time

installed the super wipe from zip in 4ext touch

this will reboot the phone into recovery when complete

installed 6.1.0 from zip

selected reboot from 4ext recovery

On my first boot I did all of the things I normally do after a super wipe:

I set up my accounts, allowed market to install my apps, set QuickDesk as my default launcher and selected GO Launcher EX as my favorite launcher in QuickDesk. Restored user app data on the apps I backed up in titanium (from step 1 above). adb pulled my /system/build.prop to my laptop as a backup. Set my favorite tweaks and saved as a new file on my laptop. adb pushed it over the original /system/build.prop. Rebooted.

All was working well without any FCs. I didn't even have the blue tint issue others have pointed out. I was just about to go to bed when I had that OC urge again. So after reading numerous people's posts that Sebastian's OC kernels worked fine on 6.1.0, I made a nandroid backup and installed the 1.73 version for 4.0.3 ICS.

After rebooting, I realized that I forgot to set my favorite 4 apps on HTC Sense so that I can have them on my Lockscreen, so I switched QuickDesk's favorite launcher to HTC Sense, to set them. FC. FC. FC. FC. and a few more FCs. :(

Soon after, the screen began to dim and brighten and dim and flicker and bug the crap out of me, so I decided to scrap this OC attempt.

I have since restored my 6.1.0 nandroid, and the screen flickering has not returned, but I am still unable to set my launcher as HTC Sense and have it load fully so that I can move some shortcuts without it FCing on me.

For anyone curious of what tweaks I made to my build.prop, I have attached it here:

So all of my issues are my own fault and have nothing to do with mike's hard work. I'll sleep on it tonight and then decide if I will try from the super wipe once again later.

Peace!
