There is a problem posted a couple of times a day, so I didn't know if it was related to all the other bugs and so on since 7.0+ came out or not. Was just waiting for no more people posting problems to be sure.

Awesome!!!!

Ok I'll get ready to do it (w00t!)

Would you mind helping me with what is probably super basic question for you (but not for me)?

I currently have 6.8 with S-ON and I have Sensation XE (with Beats)

Q1. Since there is no XE option in the original post like there was for 6.8.0, does this mean I would just put on "Android Revolution HD 7.2 (with Beats Audio)" ?

This is from first page - pasted for the questions below it:

The main page says to just flash the zip and optionally wipe in AROMA:

How to flash:

Download ROM and place it on your SD card

Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)

In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"

Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM

You can use data wiping option in AROMA (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)

After flashing process is complete, reboot the device

Q2: How important is data wipe? Or rather - how hard is it? (and what is AROMA - is that something in the installer or something?)

Q3: Besides data wipe, Is it really as easy as just flashing one zip?? I must be missing something - nothing about putting on ROMs has ever been that easy :eek:

Q4: Does this also flash a kernel with it? I wanna get rid of Faux that I couldn't get rid of from 6.8 (seemed to use more battery than I wanted, and for some reason I couldn't put on Brikked once Faux was there). I wanna use whatever kernel mike uses.

Thanks for any help.
[HTC Sensation] zebidybob:
You will need to turn on smart flash in 4EXT recovery as you are s-on

1. The only version is the XE with beats audio (but you can use it on non-XE sensations)

2. I don't think it is necessary when upgrading from 6.8.0, but I always do just to be safe (if you don't you may get bugs) I tend to wipe data in 4EXT recovery (format everything but SD)

3. Yes once you start to flash the zip the aroma installer will pop up and you get several options (4) one of is a choice of kernel (I always select the stock kernel, for the first few boots at least)
[HTC Sensation] pwoita:
Thanks for the help!

I'm pretty sure smartflash is on, but will check when I start it all - cheers.

ok, so in order

0. put 7.2 on SD card & make a backup

1. boot into recovery, go to 4ext and wipe everything except SD

2. flash 7.2, select stock kernel

3. reboot

done??

yup sounds good just remember to read the info provided in the Aroma installer.
[HTC Sensation] mardum:
I already did that.

Search as you may know doesn't work that great with Tapatalk.

Anyway that didn't solve my problem and also no explanation for fcs.
[HTC Sensation] zebidybob:
Do you get a small spinning circle next to the arrow to the left of categories in the top right of the stock music player (library)?

Have you tried formating your SD card? or at least checking it for errors?

If I need to search on my phone I usually (in the XDA app) "open in browser" then search - there is more than one way to skin a cat

I haven't had a single force close on 7.2 - did you do a full wipe?

The only thing I ever back up is my text messages, I never restore apps or data (other than sms/mms ok it takes a little while to set up again but I don't have half the problems people on here complain about) I also delete old files and folders from the SD card e.g the folder Android this folder contains information relating to apps stored in internal memory, I don't know why but if I didn't remove this folder on my ZTE Blade when flashing a new rom or just an update I would get FC's I always assumed this information was rom specific so I always delete it when flashing a new rom (Backing it up first of course)
[HTC Sensation] nhaixin69:
I noticed that this ROM specifically mentions it needs s-off to run. But then I hear some can use them even without s-off. Can someone reconfirm? I'm worried that I might brick my phone.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Have you tried SD Rescan or similar apps from market? I had the disappearing music/pictures back on 6.8.0 (and other roms), fired up the app, waited about 10 minutes (had Quick System Info open to see when media scanner stopped scanning) and all my media was back.
[HTC Sensation] nhaixin69:
Woops I just saw the post above mine on this. U think it should be fine then.
[HTC Sensation] :
so, the Android Revolution HD 1.2.2 T-Mobile means that this version is just for Tmobile users? meaning that Tmobile users should not use the other version?
[HTC Sensation] sajibcy:
In other version don't have Wi-Fi calling.
[HTC Sensation] :
ah, now that makes sense..thank you :)
[HTC Sensation] kushXmaster:
For force closes use "fix permissions" in recovery. It takes a while, so be patient.

so i came across a strange bug or problem im not sure. When i first upgraded from 6.9 to 7.2 without wiping all my photos and music where inaccessible in my sensation. even if i shot new photos with the camera they were corrupted. so i decided to do a full wipe and that seemed to had fixed the problem. however yesterday while listening to music the phone froze and i had to take the battery off. after restarting i have the same issue with the media files. any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] :
I flashed the Tmobile version and my wife tells me that it takes for ever for the phone to rotate from landscape.
[HTC Sensation] liquidx:
Link is not working here :(
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Which one do you want?

:)
[HTC Sensation] mardum:
I did not wipe anything, as I upgraded, but I will try a factory reset now.

I am too lazy to reinstall all of my apps. Maybe do a backup/restore.

My SD is allright, just checked it. I am not willing to format it, also too lazy to copy 16 gigs of data.
[HTC Sensation] zebidybob:
I personally think that if you are having software related problems then copying the (possibly corrupt) data, wiping then copying the (possibly corrupt) data back won't actually solve anything.

I personally wipe everything in recovery then reflash the rom rather than factory reset.

My SD is a 32gb (ok not full but a lot of music) I decided to format it and at the same time got rid of my old swap partition it was only 256mb so it didn't really matter, it takes a little while but if you are lazy i suppose it's too much work.

Google should back up your apps and download them from the play store automatically.
[HTC Sensation] tk_xda:
Anyone have the APK for the last version of google play app for Sensation that don't force us to join google plus to write a review for an app?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] adriank9:
I am trying for the third time with new version and same problems!

I've installed it yesterday and today problem starts up:

As for today software doesn't see my memory card. The card is inside the phone and there was no problems yesterday but today...

I am expecting more problems shortly. Last time next problems after unvisible memory card were applications being "closing" by the software.

There was no problems with my phone when another roms were installed in and this time I've tried with stock kernel.

HELP!
[HTC Sensation] Tonymoe09:
I wasn't aware that it was mandatory to link up Google plus account to write a review. I thought if you didn't have it linked up instead of showing your name next to the review it just said a Google user
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
How are you troubleshooting? Are you restoring apps after installing the ROM? Are you wiping everything except the SD card? Where are your logcats or last_kmsg if there was a reboot? In other words, you need to help us help you.
[HTC Sensation] zebidybob:
Have you checked the MD5 matches? What choices did you make in the aroma?
[HTC Sensation] mardum:
I ended up by erasing everything on my SD card, except pics and music and did a clean install.

Everything works fine now.
[HTC Sensation] adriank9:
I see...

Well every time I install new rom I wipe phone completely - full wipe. This time I even formated my SD card.

Where I can find my logcats or last_kmsg?
[HTC Sensation] zebidybob:
Glad to hear it :)

Logcat - Download alogcat from the play store.

Last_kmsg - Download lumberjack from the play store or look in /proc (I think)
[HTC Sensation] leokan:
nothing? i have some more info.. i installed real player and everything works fine.. but i still cant find my media through the music application
[HTC Sensation] zebidybob:
Sounds like you may have some corrupted data from the battery pull.

Personally I would use the superwipe script (please correct me if I am wrong) as I believe that it formats the internal partitions rather than marking the data as deleted / able to be written over.

Format or delete everything from your SD card (apart from photos and music)

Re-download 7.2 and check the md5 from recovery once it is on your SD card.

DON'T restore apps or data (I only ever restore mms/sms)

p.s Real Player = Spawn of Satan, in my opinion.

Edit: Have you tried fixing permissions in recovery?
[HTC Sensation] kushXmaster:
The general consensus lately is that you shouldn't use superwipe and instead format through the recovery option.

Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 powered by the force
[HTC Sensation] zebidybob:
Any reason?

As I said I thought doing it through recovery just marks the data as deleted where as superwipe actually formats the partitions thus putting extra writes on the flash memory.

Something that I did with my Desire when it didn't want to play properly was flash the official RUU to get everything working correctly, I had to install recovery again etc but it did make a flash of the same custom rom stable.

I would like to know if there is a difference between formatting in recovery and the superwipe script
[HTC Sensation] kushXmaster:
I forget why, but there was a shift away from it a few months back. Even being recommended by a few of the more prominent members of the thread like malybru and kohr-ah.

Like I said, can't remember why for sure. It was after I got rid of the phone.

[HTC Sensation] adriank9:
I've done it.

I uploaded all logs I've collected in zip folder here

Once when I disconneted phone from my computer I was able to do some photos and videos but only for a short while.

So now the only problem is that Camera and Music Player widged says that "there is no photos and videos on the phone". Even when I take a picture cos I can, and I click the Gallery phone says There no photos and videos on the phone. But there are older photos. And the new ones, when I check my card with the computer there are those pictures I've just done but computer says that there is no possible to open them so possibly they are broken or sth.

Same with Music Media Player widget. Although I have few mp3 songs on my memory card It says The music can not be found. File manager is working correctly.

Also I can see no ring sound or alarms sound option in the menu. Even when I download new from htc hub and I see Installed they are not avaiable to choose from the list. The only sound for ringing and everything else is Default sound (155). I can read this in Alarms but in main ring menu list is empty, nothing there, blank.

Help!

Just bought an HTC Sensation 4G, with this ROM on it; (Revolution HD 7.2 XE).

Looks good so far, will set up for my use tonight.

Coming from an HTC HD2, this seems like a natural step up!
[HTC Sensation] :
i can only boot into recovery manually. If I try an app to do so I get an error or it also says superuser allowed it but it doesn't do anything. I have tried different shut down apps but they do not work. Any ideas why?

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

To quote Senior Member undercover :

Re "Superwipe"

It is very dangerous, but normally due to "user error", ie user downloading wrong version and wiping wrong partitions which can only be restored with jtag. Also, if download is corrupt, it can be as dangerous as corrupt firmware, again, wiping wrong partitions. There is absolutely no reason to use them, since recoveries are DEVICE SPECIFIC and can't go wrong with partitions. Days when recoveries didn't do a good job at wiping are long gone. People have bricked their devices using superwipes.

I hope this clears it up for you.

:)
[HTC Sensation] :
also, my wife just came from the store and she said her phone was not working..she couldn't place any calls... should I flash another radio?

if so, can I have a link?.. thanks.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
is the device S-OFF?

if yes then use getril app from playstore

it will show the best combination for radio/ril
[HTC Sensation] :
S-off.. I installed getril, but it says..

RIL: Unknown

The RIL database is empty and it does not let me download..when I try to download it I get a msg that says "No RIL exists"
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Go to ril thread and flash it manually. Or just reflash your rom on top without wiping.
[HTC Sensation] jahmezis45:
is there a zip or fix so i can browse internet while on a phone call?
[HTC Sensation] sajibcy:
If u r using edge or gprs it's not possible using call while browsing.

In another thread i saw a fix for it but i just dont remember what rom i was using. Im also positive there is something out there as in the past i have been able to do both but i just dont remember what rom or the fix

AFAIK 2g and voice cant work together. u will be disconnected while u r using voice call. even if somebody call u, u will be disconnected.

Hi folks, got a problem.

I bought a sensation xe as a gift.

I rooted it etc etc and thought id unlocked it with the contact method. I then flashed arhd and set it up and sent it off.

Its supposed to be a uk unlocked phone, I sent it to my fiancee in singapore.

The phone is saying theres a network lock but there shouldnt be, the sim in use has worked in htc phones before.

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] sajibcy:
I also had like this prob,i bought from a UK guy in XDA market place, he told it was unlocked. but whn i put my cyprus sim card it asked me network unlock code. then i bought a unlock code with 1$ from ebay and since then its working fine even with other 3-4 country sim card. no prob at all.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
do simunlock :)

thread here
[HTC Sensation] mindriot:
Thanks folks, Im technically ok but my fiancee is technically -... well she isn, and shes in singapore.

This should be something easy for a local level phone shop to do in Sing I reckon?
[HTC Sensation] danio40:
Hi I have a problem with my sensation xe.

I have rooted, supercid unlocked mobile since 16 months and only installed ARHD from Mike1986. Always worked perfectly but last his 2 upgrades my phone is slow and after reboot I have got a messages FC on all apps which starts with mobile. So what I did was format sd card and instal fresh ARHD with superwipe from aroma and after that was fine but when I restarted problem happens again. Did fix permission dalvik and cache wipe. Helped for using but after restart problem come up again. Please help.

So... you can't flash the rom to one of the first sensations cause of the s-on, but the devices that will come out some time in the future will have s-off?
[HTC Sensation] capychimp:
How hard was that? ;)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Not hard mate, already got them installed this morning. I just didn't know that JETCET is part of polaris. And those themes are not working on DHD ;)
[HTC Sensation] Stanimir Komitov:
I've also switched from DHD to Sensation. The difference is HUGE! Mike, you won't regret it. Waiting for your first ROM here. I know that ARHD for Sensation will be as good as ARHD for DHD.

You have my word it will mate ;)
[HTC Sensation] melvie:
Can't wait to flash this ROM on my wife here new phone the Sensation! S-on.. :'(

About the bloatware; Soundhound and "Watch".
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I removed so far:

Amazon MP3

Dice (can be downloaded from HTC)

Picasa

ShowMe + widget

What is "watch"? Is it really something 100% useless or some people will ask later for it to restore it?
[HTC Sensation] Peter1856:
"watch" is the movie streaming app from HTC, no idea how usefull this is... I only have the super old DHD :D:D
[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
Hmm yeah Watch is the new Video service from HTC which let's you stream video's you rent online. I'm not using it personally, but HTC made the Sensation qHD because of this new service, so you might want to keep it included in your ROM :)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Ok, then I'll keep it. I like to keep this ROM stock so I wont remove any functionality except bloatware 3rd party apps like picasa, amazon mp3 etc :)
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Hey Mike I also own a Desire HD. ive been switching between ARHD and Leedroid on my DHD continuously. but next week my DHD is up on ebay as i will be receiving my Sensation. Cannot wait to flash your rom. 5 stars from me. thanks Dude.

Can only Watch trailers maybe atm but seens useless just like Soundhound lol

If sellers decided to unlock the devices then I'm pretty sure that this is accepted by HTC. So probably HTC will unlock Sensation bootloaders soon :)

[HTC Sensation] c0d3m0nk3y:

[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
You can always restore NAND backup because it's 1:1 backup. It contains boot.img (with your kernel) as well as data, system, cache etc.
[HTC Sensation] c0d3m0nk3y:
Thx, this wasn't the case with my Galaxy S so i figured it was best to ask and possibly sound stupid
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
I have been using this ROM since S-off dropped a few days ago. I must say that the battery live is out of this world good. The standby battery life especially is great. I have not charged my device for 2 days and still have 75% battery left. Overall a very good ROM and I highly recommend it. Using the sense version.

Looking forward to the next version.

Mike... I'm having something weird going on in my phone. I did the super wipe twice and then flashed your ROM.

Now, the stupid market reinstalled all the apps that were in my phone prior to me formatting it. So naturally i unibstalled them 1 by 1. I stilll get the super user crashing sometimes and something about a binary SU not working. So I reflash the superuser to the latest using the superuser program.

The weird thing is that my WiFi settings are all still in tact ever after flashing this ROM and wiping my device twice.. did I do something wrong? Is there a way to turn off the automatic downloading of all my apps after I flash your ROM. Feel like reflashing it again just to make sure.
