Sure, but they are free to keep, no additional charge :D.

Honestly:

Is there a product out there without any bug?

Can you really distinguish between a bug in the ROM, the Kernel or one of your apps or whether it might be a combination of those that gives you trouble?

Was the ROM you had on your phone when you bought it without bugs?

Surely "No" for all three questions :p

This ROM (both of them to be exact) for most of their users run smooth and stable. The 4.1.7 has some bugs (that it's base, which is a pre-release, has also), but they are few and far between. The 3.6.7 is bug-free in my eyes (as far as that is possible).
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Jotha, thanks for doing a great job on post 2

Are you planning on doing something similar to post 4 for the list, or maybe just removing all the links there since you included 4.1 on post 2?
[HTC Sensation] norazi:
whats the best way to get rid off the lock screen and still keep the pin/pattern screen? I dont like how you have to swipe to "unlock" the screen and then put in your pin/pattern to unlock again... ive tried a few solutions...

- "No Lock" gets rid off both screens, i still want security

- "Anti Lock" gets rid of just the lock screen most of the time except i cant see who is calling me unless i unlock first

- installing the "No Sense" zip file just replaces the sense lock screen with the vanilla lock screen.

Basically, I miss the feature in cyanogen where you get disable just the initial lock screen

also, anyone else have this MHL-HDMI adapter and gotten it to work?

Does anyone know which Radio I should use??

I am on rogers canada and the phone was locked to Bell Canada before...

I noticed that cell standby radio connection has been using the 2nd most battery.... is this from the stock radio? Should I install mike's? is it safe/work in canada? thanks!

Just noticed the bravia engine in post 2 ( nice work jotha )

Just flashed and can't see anything, should this Show up in display settings like it did with my x10 ? Or is it just running in the background.

[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Well I have no influence on post 4, it's Mike's. But as we made that change to reduce Mike's workload, he most probably will remove the mods from that post. At least that's what was planned. ;)
[HTC Sensation] Rogoshin:
It should run in the background
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I think it just works in Background. But I haven't seen any improvement either, tbh :cool:. For me it's kinda placebo. MAY improve display under certain circumstances, but I didn't see anything ;)
[HTC Sensation] bazji:
Noticed a slight difference on my x10 but not on this screen.

use the suggested one depending on the ROM and yes it is safe for Rogers.

good luck!

Hi Jotha really like your home screen, can share please? Tq.
[HTC Sensation] computerslayer:
Well, no dice it seems. Flashed back to 3.6.7, which is a great ROM, so no great complaints. I'll look forward to the next iteration of the 4.1.x series - maybe this won't be an issue at that point.

Thank you all for taking the time to answer my questions and point me towards a solution. I've learned a lot over the day!

- Computerslayer
[HTC Sensation] Zlyc:
Awesome :P

Love the great feedbacks.

Well I was talking about the 3.6.7. :D

Okay before I flash yeah, which kernel do you guys recommend?

And since I'm in SouthEast Asia, which radio should I use or should I stick with the stock one?

Lastly, is there an efficient way of restoring your system settings and application and data after flashing or I'll just have to do them manually?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Flash either faux 0.25r (preferred) or bricked 1.5r1 (if you still find it flash bricked 0.91, even better for 3.6.x ROMs in my eyes than 1.5r1).

If you don't intall the radio that is recommended in the ROM post, you have to flash the RIL for the radio you use. If you install the recommended radio that step is not necessary.

Most apps will be restored by Google automatically (if installed over market). All others you can backup and restore with titanium. Only remember NOT to restore data of system apps. They would bring trouble cause they were made with other versions of those apps.

And always remember to make a system backup in recovery before flashing anything :p.
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
Question: I've installed System Tuner for undervolting. But it is messing with OC Daemon. Does it affect OC Daemon or my bypass intellidemand settings in any way if I only change voltage in System Tuner? Or is there any other "cool app" to control my voltage? :)
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Don't think it would do any harm...
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

FAUX CLOCK is also good.

:)
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
Hmm anyway, decided to put the undervolting back into post_boot.sh.. :) If I undervolt too much @ boot, will I still be able to connect via adb to fix it? Or would I have to restore a backup.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
No GPS locks on this ROM. I've upgraded to 10.58 radio from 10.56. Maybe this is the problem?
[HTC Sensation] Zlyc:
How long do I have to wait for Google to install the apps back?
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
But with faux clock I can't UV specific frequencies :S And there is no bypass function. And as always I don't know if fauxclock is interfering with oc daemon or not.. or if I can simply turn the freq. control off in fauxclock.. and and .. many concerns. :)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Use one control daemon to control everything otherwise they mess with each other. (Or have at least in my experience) If you have a preset undervolt in mind you can always use an init.d script (see my signature). The other option is you can use fauxclock which will do control and undervolting as well

Reason is let's say you have daemon clock on bypass but system tuner isn't. They are going to contradict one another. Besides you can do bypass on system tuner why not just use that?

[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Immediately after you have reinstated your google account, and the phone has internet access, it should start. Maybe you have switched it off in the market. There should be a switch in settings.

If you can go into recovery you can still connect with adb.
[HTC Sensation] danilo081:
Mike You are the man. Great work. I am flowing this tread since 3.6.1.

Now I am stable and very happy with 3.6.7 with no issues at all. Battery life is great, everything is fast and smooth.

But, i noticed that my radio is older than recommended. So i don't have any problem with 3g, wifi, call quality, BT ; is it still recommended to update radio and what is gain of new one?

Cheers to all who is helping, on this tread.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
If you want to keep your radio (which is perfectly okay, if you like it) you have to install the matching RIL-File for that radio. In the second post there is a link to the RIL-Thread where you can find it.

The recommendation for a certain radio is done because the matching RIL for that radio is already included in the ROM ;)
[HTC Sensation] hamdir:
Hi im thinking of adding Ultra/Smooth rosie support for Sensation, Sensation XE and EVO3D bases

if someone can pack and send me framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk and Rosie.pk from base 1.73.401.4 and base 2.08.401.1, it would save a lot of effort

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
It's already been done :confused:. See second post.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
First of all, we don't know which ROM you're referring to (4.1.x vs 3.6.x), we don't know where you are. When looking for help in the future, please list any and all possible pertinent information.

Are you sure GPS is on? I've actually forgotten to turn it on occasionally. Default on a new ROM is usually off.

Now -- when you update radio did you update RIL to match? 10.58 radio likes 1.73 RIL. Make sure you mount system in recovery (you'll find it) before flashing RIL.

If that doesn't work, try to toggle radio off then on, it helps sometimes. Open phone dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*. Toggle cipher off, toggle radio off, wait til radio is off then toggle radio on, toggle cipher on.

Still no help?

ok first im sorry im new to this thread

second my mod is actually in two flavours plus im in the process of improving, like i just fixed highlight problem for ultra

few users asked for sensation in my thread but i guess your right its better to be handled by sensation users
[HTC Sensation] schnidex:
I hope this is the right place and way to ask this - my question follows on from this discussion on radios!

I've just, for the first time, S-OFFed my Sensation and installed Android Revolution HD 3.6.7. So far, it looks AMAZING! I'm really happy with it, and thank you to all concerned.

However, I only followed a very vanilla guide to install the ROM and didn't manually update any radio or RIL file. To be honest, I don't really know what they are (and think that's one of the lesser explained aspects of Android to newcomers).

I see from the menus that I have 10.56 baseband version running - and I also see it's recommended to be on the 10.58.. should I download this and follow the instructions contained, for the reasons you've described above?

And thank you again :D
[HTC Sensation] johnkristian:
I think we've might have saved the world yet again.

After flashing bricked 1.6b1, my device seems to have stopped using any power at all. It's all working on air and hard will!
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Just read my post again that you quoted . You can use every radio you like if you are happy with it. You only should flash the corresponding RIL if your radio doesn't match the recommended. The RIL makes the connection between radio and ROM. So the ROM already contains ONE RIL, namely the one for the recommended radio.

So either match the radio to the RIL or the RIL to the radio .
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
What "highlight problem"?
[HTC Sensation] hamdir:
its explained in the mod's thread

anyway nevermind friends, i'm sticking to DHD
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
You could do either the radio OR the RIL to match them

You could flash the radio to 10.58 version from the thread here.

Or you could flash the matching RIL for 10.56 from here.

I have had excellent success following the fastboot method laid out here, h/t setzer715. Just download the radio file, unzip it, and copy the radio.img file to the folder on your pc with fastboot. If you don't have a PC then you have to use the P58IMG.zip file from your SD.

Good Luck! :D

Which kernel do you guys find better?

[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:

[HTC Sensation] iba21:
guyz, a simply question.. what's the best kernel? bricked? faux? etc etc?

what's the difference about that kernels? why i have to prefere one of those? it could have better "performance"?

EDIT: right, for devolting, what's the right voltage of single frequency? demon controller in 3.6.7 works with right "undervoltage" configuration? and that configuration works with all kernels?

i know it's a lot of questions, but, i'm coming from a windows phone 7 so, i'm not stupid but, it's all new for me :D
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Included kernel did give some people problems.

The latest faux kernel is in my signature.

Make a nandroid backup,

wipe cache and dalvik,

flash kernel like a ROM,reboot.

:)
[HTC Sensation] schnidex:
Thanks for the fast reply. I appreciate that with you knowing what all this means, it might have been obvious to you from your first post but to me it isn't!

I don't know what a radio is (and I'm usually more tech savvy than most). I don't know what an RIL file is, or what RIL I have. I can guess, but I don't want to guess with my £300 phone :)

Can you explicitly tell me what file it is I need, from an expert to a n00b so I'm sure? Again, I'm grateful for your help, but everything's gone really well with my updating to this new ROM and I don't want to fall at the last hurdle.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi, It's difficult to say one kernel is better than another,because people use their phones differently.

What works well for one,may not be the same for another.

It's best to experiment with either Faux or bricked,and see what works best for you.

That is why we have nandroid backup.

Always keep an up-to-date version.

:)
[HTC Sensation] schnidex:
London, UK. It's only been less than 24 hours but so far I've not had any problems. However, if the experts tell me to upgrade to the latest, then that is what I'll do.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I have already told you all I can about YOUR phone, lol.

- Look what radio you have (settings, info)

- Look whether it's the recommended radio for the ROM you installed

- If yes -> win!

- If no, decide whether you want to keep the radio (a) or flash the recommended one (b)

- if (a) go to RIL-Thread (see 2nd post, way down) and download RIL for the radio you have, flash RIL -> win!

- if (b) go to Radio-Thread (see 2nd post, way down) and download recommended Radio, flash radio with the method favored in Radio thread (not like ROM!) -> win!

that's it.:)

I'd stay with the Radio I have, if I wouldn't have problems, and flash the RIL for that. TBH, there are lots of ppl here that didn't even do that and are also happy :). Wouldn't recommend that, but still makes one wonder...

Just FYI: In PC-Terms you can compare the radio with the "driver" for the connection hardware (mobile, wifi, BT) and the RIL with the "abstraction layer" for that driver, i.e. the interface between the OS (ROM) and the Driver.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I'm in London too,and I'm on 10.58.

I had no problem with 10.56,I just updated,because I'm an update junky...:D

If you have no problem with it,leave it as it is.

When you get more experienced with things here,or you have connection issues,then you can consider an upgrade.

:)
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
thank you, so, try until find the best kernel for the usage..

last question, what's the difference between kernel? they may have new features? the may have less code? they may have better performance? or is the same kernel with different fix?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Mail working fine here. Sent 5 emails today so far on it.

Emails coming in fine also.

[HTC Sensation] jotha:
All base on the same original HTC-Kernel of course. But the devs try to make the most out of them, so adding here, taking away there, modding this, tweaking that. You can read the changelogs on the different kernel threads if you really want to know the details, but in my eyes there's a lot of belief and religion in the whole thing. :D.

Bottom line is: These two kernels are top notch and you really can only choose between 2 good products ;)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Each dev normally lists their wares on the [OP]

Look HERE for FAUX

LookHERE for bricked

[HTC Sensation] schnidex:
I think many people who are experienced in this fail to appreciate how intimidating all the terminology can be, and still is, even at this stage. I politely thank you for your help and time.
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
ok, this is what i need to know ;)

last last question, i promise :p

demon controller works with all kernels? the "unvoltage" is "writen" in the kernel or is a cpu controller function? mod kernel has the right voltage level or it can be devoltaged?

sorry for those questions but, i'd want to know how i'm trying do to with kernel changing (i do a nandroid before change) ;)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Yep it works with either faux or bricked. Doesn't work on stock if I remember right.

Undervolting is a capability that can be functionally added to the phone via an entry in the init.post_boot.sh file (/system/etc) or by making an init.d script. So I would declare it as a cpu controller function as the kernel isn't controlling the undervolt really [I am not positive on this]. Some programs such as System Tuner and Fauxclock add the option to undervolt by the program. Lowering the voltage in some instances helps save a bit of battery but others can cause issues. You can always undo the voltage settings returning things to normal. [Hope this helps]
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I know that and was in front of the same wall of alien info some time in the past.

That's why I often use PC-terminology to explain things, cause users seem to be more comfortable with that.
[HTC Sensation] PanCubano:
Flashed this last night and I'm very happy with it so far. Very Snappy and functional.

I did have one small minor issue though. I use WiFi calling when home during the day to not waste any minutes I have in my account since I share them with another line. It was working great when I first flashed the rom, but, I went and flash EQS, CRT Animation, and Advanced Power Menu for extra goodies to add to the rom.

After flashing those 3, WiFi calling broke. At a fresh restart, the app returns with Invalid Sim. After toggling the switch or closing the app out, it will just sit at Enabling.

I can't really say for sure which of the 3 it was since I haven't had the chance to go through trial and error (or if maybe with one of those mods + any apps or the theme I may have installed).

I did get it to work again just by re-flashing the rom to remove the mods.

I'll edit this post later on to see if I can re-create the problem and find out which mod was at fault.
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
yes sure, with undervolt you can have freezes, it's the same with overcloccking without overvoling :D

so, if i understand, i can undervolt with this zips all faux kernels, so, voltage is in the kernel source, not in controller program, ok

it's possible to use that script with briked kernel too? is it an universally option?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
i have used with brick in the past and works just the same :)

"Doctah, doctah, it hoits when I do dis"

Exit camera before sleep. Use something like Keepscreen to prevent camera from sleeping on its own. Change to Bricked kernel + CameraFix (I don't think there's a real solution on Faux). I prefer Faux's kernel, so I live with it (using keepscreen).
