Regardless, thanks for feeding my paranoia and providing an MD5. You did mention before that this was the worst that could happen (it won't brick).

+1 for going the extra mile...and to Hawk for providing the orginal resources.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
sorry, maybe my interpretation skills are on the fritz. I read this from your original post:

"You really don't need to worry so much about this MD5 business"

That sure doesn't seem like an endorsement of checking MD5....
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Because I've been helping him with this RIL issue for a day or two.

Look, I respect the point of view that you don't want a bunch of people flashing a bad download- yes, that would be a) bad and b) annoying for this thread. However, TCP has some pretty effective CRC built into it, so the chances of getting a corrupted download are fairly slim.

That's why I added that if a user wishes to MD5 something that could do permanent damage to their device (radio, HBoot, etc.) then that's just fine and dandy, but for something this innocuous, it's unnecessary.

No offence meant, and I apologise if I came across as hostile, but this place can be pretty frustrating at times*.

* By this I mean the scores of people who refuse to read instructions or search, and clutter the place up with unnecessary posts- not you, sacksyboy.

You're most welcome- just remember to make a Nandroid backup if you're flashing something that, if it went wrong, would take longer to fix than restoring from said backup. That or brick your device (radio, Hboot, etc). ;)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
No worries, I am sorry for coming across as hostile as well. I understand your point and I agree that TCP is decent about that, but I have seen quite a few bad downloads from this site and others, along with the posts about it and it is really frustrating to be sure.

Is anyone working on mods of the ICS ROM, can't wait to use it all the time but I'd miss my mods?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
There is an APM mod, a Volume-Wake key mod, and a battery percentage mod for ICS. I was not able to get the APM mod and the Volume-Wake key mod to work together, so I just have the last two. Hawke84's thread has the APM mod. Not sure on the others right now.

Edit: Battery mods

Edit2: Volume Wake mod
[HTC Sensation] gibbs1984:
Ah thanks, I did see the Hawke84 thread but I thought that was just for AOSP ICS and not the ARHD ICS.

I'll enjoy moving over now then ;)

[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Sorry, I am not clear on exactly what you mean by "haptic feedback has been turned down by about 90%" Do you mean that the haptic feedback works on every key press but with only a very slight vibration? Or 90% of the time you don't get any feedback?

You might try toggling it off/on under Settings, Sounds. I believe I read that if you go into power saver mode and then charge up, then the feedback won't work correctly until you toggle it.

[HTC Sensation] jotha:
4ext does not change anything inside Android, thus also has not the potential to decrease the sensitivity of your screen.

Don't get me wrong, I don't say your screen sensitivity is NOT decreased, I only say there is no way that 4ext did that.

But if you feel that way, you can always install ROM-manager (free) from the market and from there flash CWM back. Then 4ext is gone. ;) (which would be stupid in my eyes, cause 4ext is so much better than CWM)
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
Jotha, you're back! Are you missing the sensation? Nexus not worth it hey?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Haha, no, sorry to dissapoint you. Nexus is worth it big time. Just here to look whether there are some new mods to add in 2nd post. Then I read that flame war about md5 and was amused (BTW I also NEVER used md5-checking in my life and all my flashing worked perfectly). When I saw that question about 4ext, I couldn't help but answer :). So, no, I'm not back, just visiting.:p
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
How's the screen on the nexus? Is it as good as they say?
[HTC Sensation] Trakkiggio:

[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I must be careful what I say here, or they don't let me in again :D.

Yes it's gorgeous. It's even a bit better than on GSII. Still a bit worse than Apple's screens but slowly we come close. :)

But that's OT here.
[HTC Sensation] njb42:
TCP has checksums per-packet, but there is nothing to guarantee the entire application protocol stream is intact. With FTP, for example, we saw corrupted downloads all the time. Even with HTTP I've seen it happen a few times, usually with bigger downloads such as ISO images. The corruption isn't always obvious -- it's entirely possible to download and burn an operating system image, boot it, and then have it bomb out halfway through the install because the image is corrupt.

It's worth a few seconds to make sure you got an intact download.
[HTC Sensation] Electronic Punk:
Where did he promise? Also you should send angry PMs I am sure he would appreciate that :s
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
Will have to see if HTC has anything special this year. Good to see you around Jotha
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Ethernet has frame checksums, and TCP has IPv4 header checksums as well as addressing checksums- not just per-packet. Like I said, if it runs the risk of bricking your device, by all means MD5 it, but for a RIL? It's pointless.

[Edit] Oops, a frame's not part of a TCP packet, it's layer-2.
[HTC Sensation] sp5it:
Bump. Is that really to hard to change MAC adress permanently Mike?

[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
As Jotha used to say

"Well, if you happen do be around here a bit longer, you learn to take Mike's announcements with a grain of salt .

If he says today, expect it in about 48 hours, if he says today or tomorrow, the running week is a good scenario .

Mike loves to tease us a bit.

So, there's smth in the pipeline, I'm quite sure , but as long as he has not posted a changelog, we're at least 12 hours away from everything ."

Edit. Oh, ril part seems to be understandable.

Anyway. ONE MUST CHECK MD5 when files in question are .IMG

Even if they are inside a zip (md5 zip then). Anything else...pffff, don't bother.

[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Veeery quick explanation before I get banned for being offtopic :)

OSI model (http://www.petri.co.il/images/osi_model.JPG) goes between the physical wire layer and the application layer, and TCP (as in, the stuff that makes networks work) has two checksums*, and the frame level (layer 2) has a checksum as well. It basically means that data can be transmitted through a moderate amount of errors without any loss; beyond that things tend to stop working.

*A checksum is a bit like an MD5 hash- it says "hey this adds up to x" (simplified) and if the receiving end says "this adds up to y" then the packet is retransmitted as it's obviously corrupt.

It's why I feel comfortable in not using MD5, but that's just my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
lol :D

I've made two 5.1.x ROMs series today (XE and non-XE), but then I had to leave and I can start upload now. So ROMs will be ready to download tomorrow late morning, sorry for the delay guys.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
I see, nice explanation here.

I'm still adamant md5 has to be checked with .IMG.

Just in case.......
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Because those things have a chance to brick your device, which is why yes, you probably should MD5 those things :)

[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
How did you compare the battery drainage so fast? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
I can confirm that clearing the backed up data is a must. That cleared up some annoying things that would pop back up after my first restart.

In my case it wasn't a easy as just unchecking the button in the settings. I had to uncheck the settings and then skip putting in an address in the initial setup process because it kept checking the box for me. I let it go through the initial start, restarted, made sure the box was still not checked, and then put the email address in the settings. Once that was all done I went and checked the box to backup the new settings.

Long story short... Make sure you really wipe the stored settings.

[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
Quick note for you mike, after flashing 1.1.7:

The Daemon control app shows both wake and sleep governors set to 'interactive' instead of their recommended options. Not sure why this is, or if it's intended. Could be what's causing the standby issues (i haven't had any) but then i've set my oc-daemon govs back to the recommended via the app.
[HTC Sensation] ugrubni:
Hi

1.1.7 is very slow for me, alot of lags. Did a full wipe, reflashed 2 times. I do not use setcpu or something like that. Anyone else the same problem? ..it was lagging on earlier builds 2, but 1.1.7 is worst.

But thanks for your hard work, thats why i want to use your rom, i think you are just the smartest developer around.

Ugrubni
[HTC Sensation] The Illest 619:
im on the line with this updated version... its hard to read the change log and still believe 1.1.5 was better (at least for me) it was more responsive, more smooth, and also scored 2500-3000 more on cf bench if it matters any.

i want to revert to my backup of 1.1.5 but is there a fix for the market cache bug rather than formatting cache every time it happens?

anyways, I greatly appreciate all that you do. Great work.

No. You need unlock the phone via the unlock code. The ROM doesn't mess around with the SIM lock.
