Before reinstalling, I'm going to wait for 1.1.8. Im not asking for an ETA, but is this due to be released today? If not, I'll wack 1.1.7 back on there.

Thanks guys
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Today, should be very soon! Got very positive feedback already ;)
[HTC Sensation] iJohnny:
1.1.8 will be out today.

Mike said a few posts back.

You don't need to flash ROM again, you can just flash RCMIX 2.3 kernel.

2.3 is much better then 2.4, and does not have black screen like 2.4.

Or you can use stock kernel.

You can download Stock from second post and RCMIX 2.3 from here.

Until you wait for 1.1.8 :D
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
I have the 2.3 on my SDcard, ill flash that now.

Thanks both
[HTC Sensation] iJohnny:
Did you get mine? :D
[HTC Sensation] squeeish:
I'll be waiting for 1.1.8 eagerly. I'm on 1.1.7 and I've been getting random mobile network hangs, one keyboard hang, and several unable-to-wake-up issues like the one described by stanny2k.
[HTC Sensation] webrosc:
Great ROM, just upgraded from a desire to the sensation and put this on after having the phone for 5 minutes :)

just updated to 6.2.1 and noticed a small error in the install scritpt, it askes if i want the 1.5 kernal or not saying the HTC Sensation XE has a 1.5 Ghz by default, and to press NO if i have a HTC Sensation XE, shouldn't that be if i don't have one?
[HTC Sensation] Talon25:
You press NO if you have a sensation XE because the kernel will run on 1.5 Ghz by default. It prompts for users that have the Sensation/Sensation 4G and if they want to overclock or not :)
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Weird....

I ended up reflashing, charging it to 100% and just leaving it overnight. Then when i woke up it had drained like 50% but the problem just fixed itself.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Did you superwipe when you re-flashed?
[HTC Sensation] TyIsOwned:
Thanks for the info
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Only when i originally flashed it

I did something along these lines

Superwipe

Flashed 6.2.1 XE

Flashed 3.24 Revolutionary ICS Firmware

Flashed ICS Theme Mod

Had the problem

Reflashed 6.2.3XE (First with 1.5GHz, Then 1.2GHz)

Still had the problem

Reflashed 6.2.3XE (1.2GHz) & recovered Apps with Titanium backup

Charged it to 100%

Went to bed

Then when i woke up it had somehow fixed itself

The ICS Feature screenshots are better quality than the HTC ones too.
[HTC Sensation] ansonchan:
after tries 6.2.1 xe,i found that there is blackscreen bug there,and the data seem will go offline when phone idle and when choosing option on setting there,while enter it was a bit slow to enter

as this,im gonna back to 2.3.4 stable,so can anyone confirm with me is this proceduce is right-

now im on 3.25 firmware,so do i need to flash back 3.12 or 1.17?

is it if i flash either 3.12 or 1.17 i no need extra flash anything already?

and then superwipe,and then flash rom?

thank in advantaged
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Flash 3.12 firmware to he safe
[HTC Sensation] cooleydub:
Hi Mike, can we get an update on wifi calling for tmous? I really need this app to function, as a lot of others i've seen in this thread, as I have terrible signal in my house. Is there something major holding up the app and making it unusable with ICS? I know that it is included but I have never gotten it to work more than a few seconds then it fc's. On incoming calls it never connects the call, its just dead. I know there are quite a few people searching, as have I, for a working wifi calling fix but I haven't found one, or a good explanation of why it isn't working. I love your ROMs and am still using them despite this but would just like some clarification if you have some time. Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] ansonchan:
from ur sign,i saw u are using 3.25,so did u experience black bug and other bugs that i have experienced?
[HTC Sensation] webrosc:
aahh i see, just me being a little confused by it :), went back to the none xe anyway as it kept telling me sense had stopped, only updated to the xe version because of the browser screen flash issue
[HTC Sensation] mreik:
I second this Mike, whenever you can work on it. Thanks for an amazing ROM!
[HTC Sensation] danperde:
I third this. :D
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
I was experiencing similar bugs until I removed my apps from my SD card
[HTC Sensation] KAsp3rd:
Wifi-calling is going to continue to be an issue until we get an updated wifi-calling apk as well as updated rils from HTC that are not included in the european RUUs
[HTC Sensation] tellyizking:
I'm running xe rom on non xe sensation 4g and have no wifi issues what so ever
[HTC Sensation] danperde:
I know that's the rational way, but I refuse to be governed by ration. :D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] Langz:
Mike1986 Your ROM feels like a stable release, runs very good, thanks for your work!
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
Back to mike's rom......tryed a lot of roms the last few weeks, now i know for sure this rom is by far the best :D
[HTC Sensation] D00mSlayer:
I love ARHD. Always the best.

But, I did come across few bugs in the stock browser. The backlight semms to constantly dim.

I'm not a fan of maxthon browser. Hope you can fix it.

Also this ROM is the most stable.

Could you allow for OTA updates? It would be simpler for us and easier. That way we don't loose any date.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
What version are you using? (according to your signature you are on 6.1.1)

Are you reffering to the browser flickering? if so, you can go to hawke's thread of fixes and download the flashable .zip for fixing that issue. Look for Sense 3.6 Browser flicker and flash the zip in recovery, wipe both dalvik and cache

Tried by myself and works great. Better than stock htc browser imho

EDIT: You should consider updating to 6.2.1. Latest base is way better than 6.1.1 and browser flickering issue is fixed

EDIT2: You might also wanna check mike's answer about OTA here :D
[HTC Sensation] liemdam:
6.2.1 cant swipe on keyboard

Battery drain like crazy
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Go to settings-Language and keyboard-touch the bars in front of touch input-trace keyboard-tick trace keyboard.

Prediction must be turned on
[HTC Sensation] dïnnïra:
Battery is the best I've ever experienced in 6.2.1 , I'm getting 20-28mA on standby.
[HTC Sensation] ImABoss:
Is it require to superwipe to update to 6.2.1? I'm on 6.1.1 but will not like to wipe. I just want to know if its safe not to wipe.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Isnt required but recommended. Some people didnt superwipe and arent experiencing any bug. But, if you have any weird behaviour or issue you know why it is.
[HTC Sensation] ImABoss:
Okay, thanks.

Two people on IRC #AndroidRevolution, there were two people who booted with 3.12, in 6.2.1. They got bootloops with 3.24. Strange.....[/QUOTE]

yes, i took got bootloop when i flaashed firmware3.24,while trying to flash new 6.2.1 ARHD.so i couldnt do anything after that.i was scared,as i was not knowing how to flash any other romor stock one.i had to remove sd card put it in another pc,then downloading downgrade firmware.than putting sd back in device and flash it.so that i could flash 6.0.3ARHD.than my device came back the life.thank god.
[HTC Sensation] liemdam:
I get less than two hr that drain like crazy

Keyboard setting changed still can't swipe
[HTC Sensation] shovelhead83:
I dloaded 6.2.1 and all I can say is WOW! Only problem is......I though I dloaded w/beats but I guess I didn't because I don't have it. Can I just flash the beats version over this with no wipe?
[HTC Sensation] shovelhead83:
Edit. I see, I dloaded 6.2.1 not the xe Rom because I don't have an xe phone. Am I supposed to dload the xe version?
[HTC Sensation] Mr_Happy:
Seems like the contact pictures in whatsapp are not showing.

Pics show in sms and contactlist, just not in whatsapp...

Anybody else got this issue??
[HTC Sensation] katdog75:
You don't need the xe phone to use the xe ROM. The difference between the regular ROM and the xe ROM is that the xe version has beats on it. Otherwise both ROMS have the same options.

Mudhi also made an excellent mod (v4.5) which allows you to have both beats AND the srs, HTC sound enhancer & preset equalizer. You can flash this mod over either of the 6.2.X roms.

[HTC Sensation] diamond09:
This is a well known issue and is a problem of whatsapp.

You can change your contactpictures to phone and you will see them in whatsapp also, if you have the pictures from facebook they won't show in whatsapp.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

You can flash the 6.2.1 XE version just on top of your non XE.

It has the newer base and some fixes in it and beats integrated.
[HTC Sensation] Mr_Happy:
Thanks... I didn't find this... So now we wait till whatsapp solves this....

Rights in /data/data/...../files/* for the contact pictures is still an issue, changing the rights to 666 (what's in a number :D) for the individual files works fine, changing the rights on the folder causes fc's on acore-process...
[HTC Sensation] diamond09:
You should uncheck "save power", because as fas as i remember this will keep your phone in wake-up state all the time, causing the battery drain.

If this doesn't help check your installed apps, maybe there is one that prevents your phone from sleep state.

Most of the users get standby-times of a day or more and still some 30% left, so no need to save more power.
[HTC Sensation] gugi_sat:
You can just install over it without superwipe.

I did and got the new Rom and all previous data and setting...
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
doesn't work for me. Goes back to "quietly Brilliant" on reboot

[HTC Sensation] andy1969:

[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
dont know what its like for your carrier but you have to change the line or ad

ro.com.google.clientidbase=********

change the ****** to your carrier ... in my case android-vf-de

so

ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-vf-de

then restart ... clear cache of market . stop market and run market after that.

you should be able to select kredit card and carrier payment know when buying an app.

but i changed the build.prop and it redo the changes while booting ... thats my problem
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Yes But :

- ICS still lags when going to settings (2-3 seconds)

- It also lags a lot in Gallery, if you compare to GB : with GB scrolling in gallery, as fast as you can shows you instantly thumbnails. here, scrolling shows only black thumbnails (of course if you have only 50 pictures, it's OK. I have more than 2'000). thumbnails appear after , and sometimes it lags 2-4 seconds to complete the page...

Hey. Thanks, I will look into it.

It's just sad the he has no time for OTA but it shows that he works hard.

So, is there a way to flash 6.2.1 so that I don't lose my data?

Also, how do I flash it? I am on 6.1.1. Cuz last time I didn't read properly. Plz explain to me in brief.

Thanks for the reply.
[HTC Sensation] dorianborovina:
Well that problem is well known. You have installed any app that has administrative rights (like exchange sync or some system-apps like elixir). If you have that, the option to "side-load" dissapears. Either you find that app and temporarily uninstall it, set the switch to allow side-loading and install the app again, or you wipe, reflash rom without logging in to google, allow sideloading and then begin to install apps.

I just C/P 'ed this... Jotha wrote that :)

[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Hi Mike ,

Huge thanks for your effort. I am using your latest build 6.2.1 ..

just One question I was using your ARHD Gingerbread version with Add Hoc patch ( originally DHD_ADHOC.zip available on xda) without any issue.

But on ICS the patch is working with some issues. It sees the adhoc network with excellent signal quality but whenever I connect to the adhoc network the signal strength drops to very poor level and the connection frequently drops.

Any idea to resolve the issue ?? to connect to any normal access point ( infrastructure mode ) there is no problem..

Thanks in advance to all the member of this thread....
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:

[HTC Sensation] jotha:

Without Facebook the 'problem' is gone, but when I reinstall Facebook and link my contacts the pictures disappear from WhatsApp...
[HTC Sensation] hcnsoft:
ARHD6.2.1XE, everything are working such as HDR, BeatsAudio is back.

But I got 2 problems so far:

1. Sense FC every time I restarted and unlocked screen, I won't get this if I do not restart.

2. When enable Touch sounds and/or Screen lock sound, I touch or turn off or turn on during playing music, my music was interrupted. :( I think this should be auto-mute function but I didn't get this on ARHD6.1.1.
[HTC Sensation] HPDoubleDutch:
Just out of curiosity, I downloaded and used this app.

Indeed, photos have been added to contacts, but still none at Whatsapp...

Edit: Yes, I also use FB on my phone.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Have you both tried "Fix permissions" in Recovery? That has fixed that problem in the past (though allegedly not for all users)
[HTC Sensation] Modriin:
I tested the App and it works. I have the same issue, but I found a solution. Syncmypix "writes" the FB Pics in your Google Contact. But the phone takes automatic the Pictures from the Facebook App.

When you now go in one of your contacts and set the Picture source from Facebook to Google you see the Picture immediately in Whatsapp. But you must do that for each one...

Getting WiFi Calling stable in ICS ROM's

Mike, the developer of the Elegancia series of ROM's seems to have had some success in getting WiFi Calling stable under ICS. I asked him what he did and this is the response:

[HTC Sensation] awigham:
No choice when flashing

Ok so I have a UK sensation xe. I have flashed 6.2.1 and loving it. No obvious problems here so far apart from maybe not getting as great a data signal. Anyway my question is this. I s-off'd etc etc my husbands brand new sensation xe last night (becasue he was jealous of my fab looking ROM :D) and installed 6.2.1. However during the flash I got no choice regarding TMOS, Bravia or kernel. They were automatially chosen for me as NO TMOS NO Bravia and the 1.2 kernel which is all fine but was wondering why I never got the choice since I got the choice when flashing my phone. Is it something I have done wrong/different? All seems to be ok with his phone - although has had a few sense FC something that I have never had but I havent yet checked what he has installed where since last night which might be casuing his problem:p

Just curious as to a reason why no choice on this install
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
Reflash the ROM, then you'll have the options.
[HTC Sensation] Awestrike:
Since it was brand new, the phone didn't have 4EXT Recovery installed yet. If you flash the ROM on his phone a second time, you should get all the choices during installation.
[HTC Sensation] D00mSlayer:
Developer option. Under that unknown sources.
[HTC Sensation] D00mSlayer:
How do I flash 6.2.1 without losing my data? Please help.
[HTC Sensation] HPDoubleDutch:
Tried it but it did not help.

I don't really see what you mean here. You're probably talking about the pull-down menu at the picture?

Edit: By the way, I'm not interested in WA contact pictures. Just trying to find a solution for those who are.
[HTC Sensation] Modriin:
Yes, that is what I meant, sorry ;-)

When you edit contact, you can press on the picture on the upper left corner, then you can choose Google on the pull-down menu.
[HTC Sensation] HPDoubleDutch:
For SMS: App called SMS Backup & Restore

For Whatsapp: In WA itself, make a backup of all calls.

For all other things: Titanium Backup (backup for apps+data, dont forget the ones with green coloured script --> those are settings but don't restore them all. Logic thinking will let you decide what to do). After flash, go to market and install all your apps. With TB: just restore apps data, not apps itself.

Most important: Nandroid backup in Recovery mode.

That's about it I think, maybe others can add some more.

Edit: A lot of apps (but not all) have built in "backup to SD" (for settings). Often hard to find in the app's menu. Can be handy though.

Don't forget a "Thanks" lolz

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

I was afraid you were going to say that ;).

When I choose Google there, no picture is visible at contact anymore lolz.
[HTC Sensation] iJohnny:
Do you guys know why I get low quality pictures for contacts?
[HTC Sensation] Mr_Happy:
Check permissions didn't solve it for me either.

I have no Google-contacts, I use contacts synced from my exchange server.
[HTC Sensation] jjrumph:
Your right it does cause fc's. That method worked for older ARHD and messaging pics.

Paul Giz posted this awhile back and it works since all pics are now .png. His method changes just the pics not the file itself which causes the acore issues.

Follow this post to see if it fixes what you need.

[HTC Sensation] Modriin:
Mysterious :(

Had the App synch the picture with your Google Contact? You should seen a little preview in the Dropdown menu...

In my case the app didnt sync contacts with ä ö ü in the last name because Facebook write them as ae, oe, ue and the app didnt match them... I named all my contacts with first and last name, so i had no problem with the most contacts.

When the contact wasnt sync by the app: Go in the app, click on results, go to the contact, long press on contact, choose "link picture to contact"

I hope this is the problem :)
[HTC Sensation] HPDoubleDutch:
Tried it, no succes! Only result: a FC of HTC Sense at reboot.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

I ran the app again and...... it worked! A preview picture is now available at at least one contact at "Google" in the dropdown menu. Have to check the others. Preview wasn't there before strangely enough though.

[HTC Sensation] bteljuice:
I am having similar issues.

In dialer, I can see all contacts pics even when I access the contact, I can see their pictures. But in messages and whatsapp , it does not show.

We don't want to make this about an app, rather let's focus on what we can deal with since messages do not show pics. So maybe let's think of a solution to pics not displaying in messages.

I reread the few previous posts and it seems no solution?

Could you please just state in bullet points all the options, I will try to do them all.

Thanks,

Bteljuice

Edit : I tried changing the picture and name to Facebook, it still doesn't show dp picture in messages .

I also tried an app called syncpix which you can get from market, some work, some don't, and it's a workaround not a permanent fix. If someone updates his picture on fb, it will not update on your phone, you ll have to resync the app every single time.

The kernel in 6.2.1 has no option for settings. It's fixed 1.2 or 1.5 GHz max. So no use for OC-settings.
