Did you use superwipe or just cache and dalvik?
[HTC Sensation] phil.W:
super wipe, I rarely bother with the delvik since Mike said somewhere his included delvik in the flashing process on a new rom

also downgraded my CWM from the 5.0.1.5 version since I had seen posts running around about it being funky and not working properly. Downgraded to 4.0.1.5 I think, or something like that.
[HTC Sensation] J.Swalen:
then there must be something wrong with your download of 4.1.0. Did you check the MD5 checksum?
[HTC Sensation] phil.W:
actually didn't, how would I go about doing so. One of the things I have never bothered doing.

nevermind, the power of google and an answer appeared, thanks =)

just verified the md5, and it seems the previous versiosn DLd were not matching. Will let you know on a future post whether it was the case and if it works out once phone is charged up and ready to reflash
[HTC Sensation] bteljuice:
Anyone have it?
[HTC Sensation] J.Swalen:
It seldom goes wrong, but when it does it Is real easy to overlook, because you don't expect a download to be faulty. easiest way is just download again. When you Are up and running again just download one MD5 checker from the market (like easy MD5). Then copy the ROM to the root of your sdcard and run the MD5 checker. However don't check the zip file itself, but the .img file inside the zip.

facebook contact pictures

All,

I have had an issue that is driving me ****ing crazy, my contact pictures are coming up really blurry, i have been working on this for the last 2 hours and still can't get it to work, here's what i have done

-removed fbook account and reinstalled and synced contacts

-installed syncmypix app and like 2 other fbook contact pic apps

-fixed permissions

That would be awesome! :cool:
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
No, your link is good too. I didn't even think to look at the item name value because I figured that it would be correct, since TMOUS officially sells the Sensation.

We had had to change a ton of settings to get MMS working correctly, (including the item name value) back when Android ROMs starting being ported to the HD2.
[HTC Sensation] raul602:
Wooops, sorry man guess i missed that post, thread moves so quickly :( Let me take a look,

Well yes i am a Tmobile user and i am on 4.1.0 sense 3.5, I am going to try to open default.xml and report back!! Glad I have someone helping me :)
[HTC Sensation] BIGMOH:
I suggest that you upgrade to 5.0.2.0.

I am currently using CWM 5.0.2.0 and I flashed the new 4.1.0 from 3.6.1 and its running smoothly.

Good luck!:)
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
No prob.

Don't forget to also check out the setting that fallenangel408 linked.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17664826&postcount=17057

Your findings might be good to know, in case we have the issue with future updates to 4.1.0.

I tried the 4.1.0 ROM for a few days, but I went back to 3.6.1 because of glitches like MMS size.
[HTC Sensation] killathenoob:
hey guys I made a couple great themes for ARHD 3.6.1 you can check them out here

Mms size is not a glitch. And even if you having an issue there are lots of ways to fix it. I haven't had any small mms issue on 4.1

[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:

Then list some of the ways you would suggest to fix it???
[HTC Sensation] raul602:
Thank you again for the help, I went through the default.xml file and it did have the z7 model name so i changed them all to 4g and followed instructions tried again and no luck, pics still really small.....

I went through your instructions and the size settings match up, so my next step is your following suggestion

"If those setting are correct in 4.1.0, then I am going to bet you are a TMOUS user and the mm_property.conf and/or the apns-conf.xml are not configured correctly."

Can you tell me what these need to be?

---------- Post added at 06:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

this is true, it's something wrong, i did a super wipe twice and installed, never had this problem before.
[HTC Sensation] bteljuice:
Kind sir,

Would you like to tell Mike that for posting the link in the Extras in Post 2?

I only ask for it because it is posted in Post 2, and from what I recall from my 5years on this forum, that post 1 and 2 are usually the most ESSENTIAL posts in a thread.

Now from what I understand from your post, that the app is not good? Is this why prob link no longer working?

I would like to thank you, you were the only person kind enough to reply.

Regards,

B
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
You should not wonder why nobody answered you, but just use the search ;).

Yes, that is the reason why the link is not anymore working. That mod was a fake, a placebo that did absolutely nothing and the guy who did it was banned from the forum. That is all written in a lot of posts only yesterday or the day before (depending on where you live).

But I agree that mike should delete that line from post 2. It's misleading.
[HTC Sensation] eliexda:
Anyone knows how to disable the autocalibration feature? I think a 50% battery reading and then going down to 20% after a normal reboot is a good indication that the script isn't a good way of calibrating a battery, I've seen many users complain about this. Yes my sensation has settled and yes I know all about wiping batterystats, I just need to know the best way of disabling this script so I can manually calibrate it or simply flash Rom after a full charge, thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
+1. I thought it would only run once after flashing, when battery reaches 100%. Maybe mike could clear that up for me. If it runs continuosly I'd also like to know how to disable it, cause my readings are also faulty very often and I'd like to try without it.
[HTC Sensation] bteljuice:
I agree I should search, but when you're at lunch break and browse xda, I don't think there's much time to search :)

With crap i was not referring your post, only the beats!

So you think, a simple algorithm can beat the multi-million-dollar equipment in the recording studios? If this would improve sound, they would have implemented it in mastering!
[HTC Sensation] PhaedraCorruption:
Yeah man. I only use monster cables too for ultimate sound with my bose system.

But seriously, stop discussing this. All of you. The hell is wrong with you people? You either install it or you don't, why on earth would you waste your time arguing over the internet about a OPTIONAL PHONE PLUGIN.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Hey BigBoppa,

I also do not care at all about that beats thing.

But still, if ppl like the EQ setting (and I think it's nothing more than an intelligent preset of the EQ, the rest is marketing) it's good for them. It doesn't have to be better than any equipment, it just has to please ppl to be worth to be installed. I mean, we all install themes and launchers to please the eye. Why not something that pleases the ear (at least for some ppl). As long as it's not forced upon all users, it's OK in my eyes.

C`mon, let them be ;).
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
The script responsible for the calibration is found here:

system/etc/init.d/

And the file is:

"87calibration"

Its a harmless script, and since it is in the ROM from the start, I would not remove it... The script has been tested and ARHD runs great with it...
[HTC Sensation] MadBastard:
Any news about update?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I have no doubt that it runs well with it, but I have erroneous (is that word right??) battery readings and just want to know whether the script has anything to do with it.

So: Thx for the info, gonna look in it, and if it doesn't only run once, gonna rename it until next reflash.

Edit: Looked into it. It looks for a file "battery-calibrated" which is made after first calibration. If it exists, it doesn't run. So it only runs once after reflashing and cannot have anything to do with the battery readings in my eyes (if not the checking for that file every 2 hours does any harm, which doesn't seem very probable).
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:

Hi,

I installed the rom on Sunday and am very impressed with its responsiveness compared to the shipped rom....

But.....

I randomly get the phone rebooting and getting stuck in a boot look on the BeatsAudio splash screen.

I have searched the last 15-20 pages of this thread but can't seem to come up with any reasons or fixes

Can anyone help.

Thanks.

Try another kernel. Or update faux kernel

Today my Sensation is coming back to me from the service, I wonder if they replaced mobo or gave me brand new device. Or maybe they refused to fix it lol :D
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Good morning Mike. You asked about Faux 2.0 kernel.

While I'm not a gamer, I've been using it since it was released (ARHD 3.6.1) and can tell you I've had no problems, no hanging up, no lags, no reboots, no bootloops. Phone is noticeably faster and even seems to boot up faster.

[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
thanks mate, I'll include it in 3.6.2 and 4.1.1 :)
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
It only works on 4.1 in Unity kernel is installed beforehand, so the extra libs might be the trick...

[HTC Sensation] stardust240781:
Will you have to pay for it?
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
It's way too soon to get nostalgic about the G1. I remember reading entire magazine articles waiting for the next screen to load.

My wife still uses a prehistoric Nokia cell phone and has been making noises about maybe getting a modern SmartPhone. Since she wasn't convinced, I thought she could get a monthly data plan and I'd give her one of my old Androids so she could get a feel for what a phone can do without spending a nickel.

I pulled out my old Sapphire, wiped it and stuck her SIM in. What a load of ****. CM7/Overclocked cleaned up and optimized it was still like pulling teeth to do anything. Did I ever tell you I hate progress bars? You know, they go 80% of the way then stop for no reason. And you wait. And wait. And wait.

Bah -- happy with the Sensation. If it falls in the toilet I will move to a better faster phone. I will never go backwards.

Now I just have to decide whether to stay on 2.3.4 base or take the leap to 2.3.5. Waiting on Mike to post Changelogs.

Excelsior!!!

[HTC Sensation] tze_vitamin:
did you know how to fix this?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Thats what I wanted to say. When you have a launcher that supports wallpaper scrolling (like GoLauncher or ADW) that pic on the first post is absolutely normal. So I think HTC has made it's launcher also horizontal scrolling in Sense 3.5. Can't check it cause I'm on Sense 3.0 (ARHD 3.6.1)
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Did you try touching the green lines and pinching (like in browser to zoom in/out)?

[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
It's the same in Launcher Pro. To get best possible results, you should use photos taken in landscape, and not in portrait, then "pich to zoom" so that the green rectangle reaches the top and the bottom of the photo.

Currently rocking 3.6.1... Flashed Faux 0.2.0 yesterday, 24 hours in and battery life has improved, phone gets less warm in use, no reboots or forced closes on any apps. Still on 1.56ghz clock speed too.

My method: S-OFFd via Revolution, flashed superwipe, flashed 3.6.1 inc Faux 0.1.9, flashed recommended radio, flashed Faux 0.2.0, cleared cache and dalvik, rebooted (took ages, normal), waited 10 minutes, rebooted again.

Zero problems to date.

Device Not Entering Deep Sleep

Hi Mike, thanks for your hard work on these ROMs

I've had an issue with battery drain (running latest no sense) and I've narrowed it down to the wakelocks:

'dhd_wake_lock'

'DS'

These are showing up with counts of over 1000 and I assume are the culprits for the device not entering deep sleep (confirmed using shell command 'uptime').

I've google'd the above wakelocks, but cannot trace from which process they originate.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

[HTC Sensation] yungyeh:
I think Mike should clear the confusion regarding battery auto-calibration complication in the Q&A. This is a very nice feature but the process which may cause serious battery drain will freak out some people (like I was).

[HTC Sensation] jotha:
You got something wrong here: The battery calibration does NOT cause any battery drain. The battery drain comes from the phone having forgotten your battery specs after flashing. Battery calbration does give that information back to the phone, so it is necessary. Either manual of through that script. Without calibration your drain would go on.

Courious

Just wondering, Let's say your battery is actually fully charged, did it on an outside charger with spare battery, but your stats in the ROM are not correct. The stats say your battery is only at 50%, when the stats reach ten percent would the phone then go in to energy saving mode even though the actual battery is fully charged?

And if this is so, do they include a battery calibration script in a brand new phone? I don't ever remember seeing anything about this in user manuals! Point me in the direction of more information on this particular subject please. Thanx, V:confused:

Straight from the battery manufacturer and Htc's mouth.

In case there is any question or confusion here is information form the guys at Battery university:

There is only one way to charge lithium-based batteries. The so-called 'miracle chargers', which claim to restore and prolong batteries, do not exist for lithium chemistries. Neither does super-fast charging apply. Manufacturers of lithium-ion cells have very strict guidelines in charge procedures and the pack should be charged as per the manufacturers "typical" charge technique.

Lithium-ion is a very clean system and does not need priming as nickel-based batteries do. The 1st charge is no different to the 5th or the 50th charge. Stickers instructing to charge the battery for 8 hours or more for the first time may be a leftover from the nickel battery days.

I didn't want to get technical but it's in the battery chemistry. What you are referring to is "memory effect". That comes form loss of chemical reaction at the molucular level. In nicad batteries the molucules get old over time and loos their ability to chemically react, gain a charge. In an Lion battery the cells do not have this molecular property in fact they charge and discharge as a group.

This is why experts, battery chemists, tell you to chanrge an Lion battery whenever you are near a charger.

That is why when a Lion battery dies it dies all at once not gradually as a nicad battery does.

Condition all you want but you aren't doing your battery any favors.

So there you go, from the experts who actually make these batteries.:)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Son of a gun, you're right!!

Nope, no solution at the moment.

[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
I have a really weird problem here...

I flashed this rom, then flashed Kalagas theme, then proceded to remove all of the sense widgets and rosie (same as the script does,except I wanted to keep the mms, dialer, lockscreen and a few other HTC apps), everything has seemed fine and worked just fine. I then rebooted the device and now my lockscreen looks like this...

Anyone know which file could have done this? I just moved them to a folder on my sd card so i can move it back, but i was very careful which files I removed so I'm confused...

edit...

got it back..

I had moved the fusion.apk out...I thought that file was only for the Stock sense themes, didnt realize it held the default graphics too. OOPS! :-D
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Now, what can that tell us?

Fact is that batteries in our phones drain very fast in the first days after a kernel-flash and slower afterwards. That has nothing to do with any "training" or with charging, but with discharging.

Fact is also that batteries behave differently when they were calibrated than if they were not, at least thats (not only) my experience. Calibrating has also nothing to do with the "training" of older types of batteries.

Why this "calibrating" is necessary in the phones is beyond my knowledge, but is surely not dismissed by the above explanation of the unnecessity of "training" of Li-Ion batteries.

The question, what happens to calibration when you change to an externally loaded battery is also very interesting to me, cause i very often do that. It would seem like you'd have to calibrate everytime you insert another battery with 100%, but I honestly don't know.
