A2SD

hi guys,

i've recived my Sensation 4G today :) and flashed to this rom (3.6.3)

and it's greattt

i have 1GB of SD-EXT4 and rom doesnt recognize it, i check on titanium backup pro.

so i'm sorry for the noob question but i'm serching the forum for this for 2 hr

please help...
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
This rom doesnt support SD-EXT (A2SD+) because its totaly useless on the sensation..
[HTC Sensation] [Krueger]Dr.Stein:
Sound Enhancer

Can anybody tell me how to get the apk to enable this Sound Enhancer on the Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.3 XE please?

Read that there are several versions floating around where Dolby, SRS and the EQ do not work.

A compatible one would be perfect.

And also this link from Post #2 is broken.

http://All Headphones Are Beats & BT...ution HD 3.6.x

Does the supposed apk from the link is for tricking the Sensation in thinking it is an XE to enable Beats Audio?

TIA.
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
Does not appear to cause harm.

As far as I've been able to understand from the various schools of thought on this subject; charging your battery over night or anytime you have the opportunity does not have ill effects on your battery.

Some state that it's more harmful to completely discharge your battery because this counts has a complete battery cycle and a battery is rated in terms of time on battery cycles, whether this holds true in practical application would have to be determined by you on your device. I keep mine charged as much as possible so in the event of an emergency such as power outage in community, I have some access to services. Even though in the case of a mass outage I may only be able to use it for a flashlight!!

But on the other hand, it is good to let the phone go through a couple complete cycles to help condition the battery to your phone and operating system. So, you'll have to play around with your device and find which works best for you. Just remember that more heat means more loss which equals shorter life. And everytime you let your battery run down to empty counts as a complete cycle. Peace, V:confused:
[HTC Sensation] NnihcD:
@ Jotha

Thanks for your help and I will follow your advice. Now with Mike working on the EVO 3D, I will have another phone to flash while I'm waiting on an update for mine.

@ Mike - Great Work!!!
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Beats is enabled on ARHD 3.6.x automatically cause its a XE based ROM. But be advised that stock Beats only works in original HTC Music Player.

The link in Post 2 is disabled deliberately, cause the mod it linked to was totally useless and a hoax (though I do not know why the link is still there to be honest. Mike must have forgotten to remove it).

AFAIK all Beats mods that are available and make Beats available outside the HTC Player disable some other sound enhancement functions.
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
Go to the main forum and look for thread called Audio Bits mod. I think that's what its called.
[HTC Sensation] baraks:
if so, and this rom doesnt support SD-EXT there is a way to enable the SD-EXT support?
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Wait.. why do you want apps on SD? Isn't sensation big enough?
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
Apps on sd

I was under the impression that gingerbread android already moves apps to SD whenever possible and having an app to do that was needless. Am I wrong in this analysis?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
nope you are correct. So why does he wants to enable something that is useless on sensation only he knows :)
[HTC Sensation] gyromanx55:
Is this one of the best ROMs out for the Sensation? Is the CM7 one stable?

Also, is it possible to get the XE base WITH Sense 3.5?
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
1. Yes

2. No.

3. No.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Haha, Great.

I was about to answer the first question: "No, that's why we all hang around here" :D
[HTC Sensation] parmijo11:
Good call. CM7 on the Sensation is stable for some but not for most.
[HTC Sensation] gyromanx55:
^ Thanks for quick and concise answer. I suppose I will just use the XE base even though I don't care much about Beats.

It seems to be a popular choice.
[HTC Sensation] baraks:
dude i dont know i'm new to Sensation...

and i remember that on my HD2 and legend i had SD-EXT
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
I am not sure why he asked about CM7 here. Isn't that cyanogen mod?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Okay. Now just believe us all, that you don't need any SD-Ext anymore :D.

And no, you couldn't activate it, even if you wanted.

That's true for virtually every ROM for the sensation.

That would be like buying a PC with a floppy drive.

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

Yep, it is.
[HTC Sensation] cozmosland:
Haha agreed. As you can see this Rom is quite popular with the amount of action in this thread..

You may want to check out the cm7 thread for advice on using it or not.

But to be fare.. there are several stable roms you just need to figure out which one is best for you.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

There are a lot of people coming up from HD2,myself included.

We were starved of space on the HD2,and needed the EXT on the sd card.

But on the Sensation,we have 1GB of space,so we are now blessed.

There is no longer any need to be thinking of moving everything to the sd card.

:)
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
right, and the system does it by itself anyway.
[HTC Sensation] baraks:
hi guys,

thank you all :)
[HTC Sensation] leeskywalker:
Yes this is one of the best and maybe ask about cm7 in the cm7 thread
[HTC Sensation] JayXL14:
Can I simply use 4.1.4 Android Revolution with this:

Is there any other advantage with the XE base? I plan on using stock clock at 1.2 Ghz and stuff.

Market

I've noticed that when I reinstall ARHD, I don't automatically get all the programs I've installed via Market. (I get only about 1/2 using that option to automatically backup my programs and settings). What may be the cause of this?

Can I check somewhere what programs I have installed on my Google android account? (I know I can start installation of programs from android Market over my PC)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I installed this on 4.1.4 with no problem.

Not as good as the original,but better than nothing.

This happens to me also not sure why but you can find your entire download history on the market website
[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
I second that! Came from the HD2 too, but had the Desire HD in between the HD2 and the Sensation. Must say that the HD2 is the most versatile phone ever considering mods and OS's hehe!
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
...and CM7 was not faster than ARHD last time I tried it (not very long ago)

Mainly a question of "design" I would say
[HTC Sensation] kickdrum74:
I agree...I still use my HD2 to this day. It just will not die!!! LOL
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
I came from HD2 too, I muss it sometimes, died n got insurance for it. Has to gave been the most modded phone ever. Anyone try WM6 on sensation :p
[HTC Sensation] ced357:
hello,

This rom is my first flash on my new sensation... i just can say waoooooo... very fast and very stable!

I come from hd2 too and desire hd.

Do you know how can i have 613 mb of ram, i have just 563 mb ?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
As I understand that's normal. Allocated shared memory. Same for me
[HTC Sensation] Gravediggah:
Thx mike1986 for this sweet Rom

First time I installed one went nice and smooth.

Will update to the new one over the weekend.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I'm not sure you will get that extra RAM here.

Mike considers it a waste to have that much RAM and not use it.

That's why he went the way of ZRAM,in order to maximize its usage.

:)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Why do you care?

If it is important to you, stock kernel will give a bit more free RAM.

Faux's (included) kernel uses swap, and gives at least 100mb more effective RAM than is shown as free.

So -- go to stock kernel and get a big number (which doesn't affect Android performance, do some reading), or stay with included kernel and get better, smoother, faster performance.

Your choice.

[HTC Sensation] scoo8y:
Everything is great... ROM is great, speed is great just that server for download new version ARHD 3.6.3 is fu*king sloooooow :(
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Have you tried dropbox version?

:)
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Quit download and start again. They have 6 servers given to you randomly. Next try might be lightning quick. I always try 2 or three downloads and quit the slower ones.

Edit: Or do what malybru said: use a dropbox account.
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
4.1.4 is running great, but nothing I have tried solved my problems with sense widgets requesting root and afterwards Sense fc's. Superwiped, reflashed, reinstalled superuser, fixed permission... I tried everything.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
You know that after updating SU to 3.0.6 you also have to update binaries INSIDE Superuser and clear Superuser data in "Manage Apps" ?
[HTC Sensation] feuerkette:
Hi guys,

What version of faux kernel is the best? The included kernel in 3.6.3 has much battery drain in my device.can someone tell the best version(beta) and post the right link please?Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I'd take the 0.22 and not one of the betas. They all have issues if you follow the faux thread.
[HTC Sensation] mrmiddl:
Mike, I just love the 4.1.4 Rom. Took my phone to another level. But you are causing me headaches. I was planning on ditching this phone to my wife for an sgs2 or amaze before I loaded the Rom. Now I don't know what to do. Help!!

Oh ya, using bricks 1.4 kernel gives me excellent battery life
[HTC Sensation] davedes:
Beta 15 seems stable with low battery drain. Remember beta releases are not for everyone. Search for faux123 thread in sensation development
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
Yes, done that...
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I'd ditch my wife for the SGS2 and keep both phones :D:D:D

Just kidding, in case someone wonders.
[HTC Sensation] zimo:
Which swap is kernel using? I checked partition layout in recovery and cannot see any swap partition on internal storage. Should you create swap partition on SD card (not that I need more RAM right now - just curious)?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Uses a swap file on internal storage. Use terminal and type "free". You'll see the swap file size and usage.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
I, like a lot had real problems with SU. what fixed it for me was SU 3.0.6 and 3.0 binaries. U will have to wipe and reflash to downgrade but worth a try. Good luck, hope this helps!

I don t need more free ram, my phone is very very fast...

I have just see some sensation screen shot with different rom with 613mb of ram... WHY?????

Just curious guy!
[HTC Sensation] johnkristian:
I see that camera issues, thermal issues and battery drain issues is known with 3.6.3's kernel.

I experience:

- Phone stays awake, can't figure out why. Reboot randomly fixes it.

- Phone reboots when using camera flash in low light conditions. (had 58% battery when it happend last time).

Is this the issues you are all talking about, or is this something different?
[HTC Sensation] Narsilius:
I am running the rom and the radio from the first post but I have an unusually high standby draw. It comes from the Cell Standby and is something like 100-150mA. Any idea how to fixed that I think it started when I updated to 3.6.2, but now I am running 3.6.3 with a new radio and its still like this. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] kickdrum74:
Try a different kernel...I am using faux123 v. 0.2.2 and it seems to work better but I do have the occasional reboot.
[HTC Sensation] gtrplr71:
thats normal each user is different I found radio .1 works good and faux 1234 0.1.4 works great
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I have found that Evo 3D CDMA original HTC ROM's doesn't have thermal protection like sensation have. It's the same chipset - msn8660 and the same cpu clock - 1.2 GHz by default. So why they doesn't need that? I'm doing some testings with 4.1.5 where I removed thermal binary and it's execution from ramdisk + configuration file from etc and so far no issues, the phone doesn't get warm on normal activities.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Great.

Does that include playing games?

:)
[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
Sooo can't wait for 4.1.5.....tried other kernel with this Rom and went back to Rom kernel and much better on my battery
[HTC Sensation] [Krueger]Dr.Stein:
Thank you for the heads up Fellas.

You guys saved me from wasting time and trouble.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I haven't tested yet. But without thermal protection nothing will happen to your device. In worst scenario it will just reboot :D
[HTC Sensation] cyberde:
Is there any way to boost the volume of the ringtone? Sometimes i don't even hear my phone when receiving a whatsapp message or get a call.
[HTC Sensation] Jrbourque:
So anyone's opinion or experience with a sweet spot for speed and battery for the oc? Or most just using 1.5?
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I'm having some issues with V 3.6.3. The primary problem is GPS will find and fix 5 to 9 satellites in 3 or 4 seconds but will not get a lock for 10 or 15 minutes and sometimes never.

The second is that I cannot flash a new kernel. I've tried the stock and two others. After getting into recovery->clear data cache -> clear delvik cache -> install from zip ->choose zip->OK the message says the install is complete. On reboot the phone hangs at the htc splash screen (white screen with htc). I've let it set for over and hour and nothing happens. I must pull the battery and reinstall the ROM to get the phone usable.

I installed a bricked kernel that someone recommended that turned out to be incompatible with the ARHD 3.6.2 ROM. However, it did install without a hitch and cleared the GPS problem, but it also made WiFi unusable so I had to uninstall it.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I have installed and uninstalled several ROMs and radios without a problem, but the kernels are giving me ulcers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] bahurd:
moved back to 3.6.3 from 4.1.4

The WiFi Calling on Sense 3.5 Roms seems to be pretty unreliable and I experienced numerous dropped calls/forced close errors forcing me to drop back to 3.6.3

Otherwise, I do like the Sense 3.5 experience.

The WiFi calling is a must have for me because of service. I tried several 3.5 based ROMS and all had the same issue for me.
[HTC Sensation] Pulinski:
I reverted back to Bricked Kernel v0.9.1 due to lockups when the camera using the Faux Kernel.

However I can now say that the Faux Kernels are far smoother on ARHD v3.6.3 than the recommended Bricked Kernel and the Faux Kernel is slower to make the Sensation rise in temperature. Just takes a problem to see how far ROM and Kernel combination have come in just a few weeks.

The 4ext recovery is excellent and can recommend the paid application for in-ROM recovery management.

I now await the next ARHD version with a more stable Faux Kernel.

Thanks Mike.
[HTC Sensation] cooleydub:
Exactly the same here.

try using GPS status from the marketplace, allows with downloading of APGS data a quick fix normally under 10s and then works great with gmaps or whatever else.
[HTC Sensation] BladeKnight:
hahahahahaha.....interesting:D:D:D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I have GPS status, but that does not help in locking on to satellites. The AGPS is updated frequently - no help. As I said the phone finds and fixes 6 to 8 satellites in seconds but will not lock on.

As a test I took the phone back to pure stock, unrooted and the GPS would lock on in 15 to 20 seconds most of the time. After rooting and re-installing the 3.6.3 ROM I'm back to a lock in 15 to 20 minutes or not at all.
[HTC Sensation] BladeKnight:
use volume+ it helps a little:D:D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] cyberde:
Thanks, I've tried that one but it actually didn't do anything and I didn't dare to put it over 8+ hehe.

Massive battery drain! :/

Hello! Im using the Android Revolution HD 3.6.3 ROM and im getting some bad battery drain.. Im trying to find the culprit but no luck..

Is anyone else experiencing some battery drain??

(And yes i change all my settings so i wont get massive drainage :p)

Yeah im having some of the same problems.. :/
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
had to go back

I found 3.6.3 was completely unbearable... And 4.1.4 I could not get over the multiple issues as described in many posts throughout this thread.

I was actually trying to get 3.6.2 to work fully but with the faux kernel 2.2 I could not get battery life stable at all. I would Be able to get quite a few hours while barely using it but while browsing... Forget about it. I would just watch it drain and drain.

I flash fauxs first kernel script then his kernel and tried different combinations.

I reverted back to 3.6.1 with bricked. I cannot find anything to match the sheer performance value of this combo.

Thanks mike for the ROM all together.

I do intend on using 3.5 ROM but waiting for the official source to roll out. You plan on I've ROM?
[HTC Sensation] kia1349:
mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D

we want Ice Cream Sandwich
[HTC Sensation] zukа:
Dude, i completely agree. Still on 3.6.1 and bricked 1.2 (yes, it is faster than 0.91 and works fine for Sense 3.0) and it's still the best combo
[HTC Sensation] kickdrum74:
I agree fully. I had to revert back to bricked because even with faux 0.2.2 my phone would heat up so now I am on bricked 1.2 final and it is awesome. My phone stays cool and battery life is a lot better than faux.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Hey thanks guys I never went past bricked 91 went from there to trying to get the new updates to work with 3.6.2.and all of fauxs betas :D

I finally told myself.. Why you working this hard to try and get what you already had?. Anyways thanks again for the backup and I will have to explore bricked 1.x

Friends can any1 confirm if he/she sees task manager in recent menu after using it.

Actually I just flashed 4ext and after an hour or so I used task manager (from HTC) for cleaning the RAM, after few mins I unintentionally pressed the home key and I saw the task manager icon in the recent menu... :confused:

I am 100% sure earlier it didn't used to come up in recent menu even if you have used it...

I am unable able to understand what has 4ext to do with task manager showing up in recent menu... :confused:

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Its showing up here using 3.6.3 ... Its an app dude so must be in recent apps if you use it recently

Nothing to do with 4ext its just a different recovery
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Ya I've always seen it. I mean it is a recently used app... So I don't see why it wouldn't. I'd be more concerned If it hadn't showed up right after I used it.

I wouldn't worry about it buddy.
[HTC Sensation] The Illest 619:
If possible can TMOUS users provide feeback as far as the radio they are using. Signal strength & Data speed along with rom version?

on 3.6.xx Ive never had a problem with stock radio and reflashing matching RIL as it was always the fastest and always had me at 5 bars.

now with 4.1.3 i usually stay around 3 bars, and i think its the cause or has something to do with my shorter battery time problem as well. i use to get about 24-34 hours on light usage and now with the phone mostly on standy i get around 12hrs but notice cell standby usage is in the 30% range along with phone idle in the mid 20% range.

those numbers seem abnormally high.

any feedback is much appreciated.

Edit: trying newer stock tmobile radio from the OTA update for 2.3.4 devices with 2.3.4 RIL i found in the ril thread... well see how that runs.

any 2.3.5 radio/ril? may have to try reflashing 4.1.3 and use recommended radio for trial and error purposes.

or maybe you could flash clockworkmod and test out your curiosity to see if its there.? sorry boss dont know what to tell ya

anyone???

I think so, but it didn't do anything. Ringtone didn't get louder. Which setting did you use?

Or is there a config file you can edit for making the volume louder systemwide?
[HTC Sensation] 92drls:
This is EVERYONES answer to gps problems and its not always the answer. It seems gps is broken no matter what kernel or ROM I'm using and no matter how many times I flash it.
