Feedback update:

After ten minutes of playing "Blast Monkey" device is burning hot.

Sorry to say that Mike but what feedback for,right?
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
I got this on 1.78 kernel with it set at on demand
[HTC Sensation] cyberde:
Same here for navigating with Sygic... Looks like if you use the device for like 10 minutes straight the battery and the bottom part of the phone get really hot!
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Great ROM really stable and fast now!

Hello Mike,

Just want to congratulate you on your ROM, you've gone a long way since I first tried it!

Now it's really smooth, fast and stable as anyone would want!

Just 2 things I'm missing if it's in your plan:

- Advanced Power Menu, used to be there, but I saw it on P3D but it was causing lags and black screen, is that the reason why you didn't integrate it anymore?

- CPU temp reading, I know it's kernel related, but if you manage to work with Faux123 or Baadnewz, that'd be just great :)

Again, congratulations, great work, great results!
[HTC Sensation] lws803:
Hmmm has anybody tested the 3GTurboCharger script? does it work? :)
[HTC Sensation] bachviet:
I might have found the culprit of my battery issue, it's WiFi Calling.

This is the battery status during the second cycle:
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Are you on 1.78 or 1.56? In any case Mike has completely removed the thermal deamon making sure CPU doesn't go too hot by reducing frequency when needed. So it makes the ROM less safe than others, but ensures the best performance.

I've put the baadnewz modified thermal config (up-to 80° before lowering frequency) to keep my phone safe! Safe meaning don't want it to reboot unexpectedly!

Also I'm using 1.56, because 1.78 is not stable enough, more because of heat than anything else I suspect, but until we get a CPU temp reading, no way to know for certain.

The 2 files are /system/bin/thermald and /system/etc/thermald.conf, I've attached both to the post just in case. WARNING: It's not flashable, needs manual copying.

Note that you might still experience reboot, because so far I haven't seen anyone mention the max acceptable CPU temp. HTC starts lowering frequency when CPU @ 60° only!
[HTC Sensation] BladeKnight:
change again to false...

I had same issue at one stage just make sure that you hold the power key first and then press home......

Battery Issues

it is very normal when you install a new rom the battery drains faster. let the battery cycle for 3 charges. (fully drain and fully charge). the fourth charge you will see a difference. and turn off mobile internet, gps, bluetooth when your not using them. Tnx.:D
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Not entirely sure, but the calibration file is in /system folder, hence after flashing a new ROM, no more calibration, as if you had a new phone/battery.

You could try keeping that particular file! My % is all crazy since I moved out of stock ROM a week ago! Sometimes shutdown at 1%, restart phone without plugging and I get 20% remaining! Since I keep flashing I can't get it to stabilize!

But now that this ROM is stable enough for daily use...
[HTC Sensation] affliction_emrah:
I think im one of the guys who speak early!

After i wrote this feedback, i experienced temperature(mentioned before) and lag issue as some of the guys stated.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
IIRC, I saw that this is perhaps an issue with the latest hboot version from Revolutionary (can't confirm as I installed my radio way back). Install the ENG Hboot and then the radio should install.

Did you use Titanium Backup to restore settings. This is a known side effect. Reflash the rom and this should sort it out.
[HTC Sensation] tlausl:
I'm on 1.56 Ghz too. I will try the conf files, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] fallenangel408:
gps data did same black screen only buttons lit had to pull battery out...went back to using 3.0.3 w/duo core/ stock not a problem anymore!...hope next release is with stock kernel w/option to install other kernels, always had better luck with stock kernel and i dont care or do the oc thing so stock is fine and stable for me
[HTC Sensation] tlausl:
I think 3.0.3 with faux 0.0.9 was the best for me, maybe I go back...
[HTC Sensation] bucksbunny:
Usage feedback

Flashed the Rom (it deserves a capital R) 24 hours ago.

- Superwipe

- Clean Dalvik

- Clean Battery stats

- Flashed rom, kept Sense

Used it al day (medium usage, some phonecalls, some wifi, camera etc) and found no glitches, errors or what so ever. Rom feels very quick and responsive with Sense.

And this is what the battery status says:

- Up time: 23:54:15

- Awake time 4:26

- Battery left: 60%

I am a happy man. This is te fastest Rom I tried sofar and battery life seems to be excellent.

Thanx Mike.
[HTC Sensation] cyberde:
That's exactly what I have. I do like this kernel because everything is so smooth but there are two things i am worried about:

1. the random thing where the screen doesn't come on anymore and only the buttons are lit

2. the temperature of the phone when using it for more than 10 minutes straight...
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
1. Never got that problem (yet)...

2. You can install the thermal deamon back (I posted a few posts/pages back) as it should to keep your phone cooler, note that you'll probably have to edit the conf file to reduce the temperature values. Can't really say which values will be safer, but FYI HTC starts reducing frequency when temp reaches 60°.

[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
:mad:

On the first page there is something like FAQ (Frequently Asked Question).

Q25 is the one you're looking for:

Q 25: How can I enable built it screen-shot feature on Sense 3.0 < based ROMs?.
A: Edit your build.prop file in /sytem and change:
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = false
to
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = true and clear dalvik-cache or install ShootMe from the Android Market.
[HTC Sensation] wingman1487:
Remove Dual-Core Script

Does flashing the new version remove the dual-core script from my previous version? Or where can I remove the dual-core script before flashing over 3.0.3?

Thanks for the info!
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Any answer to SDCard issue?

Does anyone know what's causing the SDCard issue? I can transfer files up to about 100MB, but anything larger and everything stops about 50-60% of the way through.

Peter
[HTC Sensation] BladeKnight:
yes it will remove DC....
[HTC Sensation] cyberde:
Thanks, do we need to report that to faux or does mike do that?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Flashing via recovery should work mate. Worked for me.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Give some time battery to stabilize. It's normal that it can behave strange first few days.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
No, it wont be back because I'm using WWE base.
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
no set cpu installed or anything else that could mess with the daemon. i know quadrant is rubish but these scores are not normal. And some games like Trial X lags now while playing (fps drop) whilst on set cpu everything works fine!

But i want to use the daemon as in normal sense interface its really damn smooth but games are lagging though...

Mike1986 can u help us out?
[HTC Sensation] eisteh:
4G is just fake anyways because there is no 4g. Actually this ROM shows you the truth!
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Hey, awesome ROM, no problem at all. I hope daemon tool will save the battery when screen is off :P

Just one question, now, Rom Manager is working with our Sensation, is it possible to make your rom "updatable" OTA?

I mean, we can do the update on the phone with Rom Manager?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
You can always keep SetCPU on your SD card and install it when needed :)

If you guys want high (fake) benchmarks ROMs there are already some. It's easy to rise benchmarks to 3xxx points on HTC Sensation (f.g. BFS is the worse kernel scheduler for HTC kernels but it gives you highest quadrant scores lol), post some screen-shots and have orgasm with it :D What is important for me is real performance, that's all that matters ;)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I'm not supporting OTA updates due to some issues you can have with it :) I hope it will be forgiven :p
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Of course it will be dude :p

Ï appreciate so much your work to be angry lol.

Just saying, since the UOT Kitchen is down we can't have a custom battery icon but look at the App and theme on HTC Sensation. A guy posted a file to flash with the recovery with Circular battery or regular battery with %

Just tried, works with no problem : )
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
i flashed 1.1.3 fresh. Wiped sd, formatted sd with cwm and then used super wipe and flashed. Then i flashed radio again for good measure.

My sd transfer speeds thru USB r incredibly slow. anyone else getting this?
[HTC Sensation] aatjitra:
hi Mike,

For No-Sense version, maybe you might need to remove the 3D launcher as this is causing the problem with screen alignment...

I removed mine and even without Go Launcher, my problem is fixed...

Cheers...
[HTC Sensation] Inquitus:
The reason I am running the benchies is because the general performance is very laggy for me at the moment, much worse than on 1.1.2 from yesterday. Clearly its not something that is afflicting everyone, just a few of us. I have not got setcpu or any other CPU Clock apps installed, so daemon is the only thing moderating CPU clockspeed.
[HTC Sensation] gr3yh0und:
I would like to ask is it necessary to flash radio? I just bought Sensation and root it, and want to try this rom. But this flashing radio scares me.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
You can try editing system/etc/init.d/81sdcardspeedfix script.

Change

/system/xbin/echo "3072" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;

into

/system/xbin/echo "2048" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;

Save file and reboot.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Try doing Super Wipe, fresh flash and restore things wisely. Remember that wiping data partition and later restoring everything from data partition is pointless.

All I recommend to backup is sms/mms + calendar + contacts + bookmarks. All the rest is worth to reinstall from scratch. It's not needed to wipe every time you flash ROM, only when coming from different ROM or when new base is out.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
It's already removed, I replaced it with Go Launcher EX :)
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Weird, as my battery life is currently amazing mike!

Did you get that framework-res that I PM'd you link for btw?

There's indeed no thermald.conf in /system/etc/ on my phone... Do i need to add your's there to make it work? And why did mike remove it? I think safety is more important than speed though...

Just start ROM Manager on your phone and it will automatically update :) Otherwise you can find it on the rommanager homepage.

Mine is too. It's now about 40 I changes, one time I had to load the battery. As I stated already early before... just works fine. Very smooth and fine...

Mike, just keep going the way u do... couldn't be better.:D
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
Install quick settings addon from first page.

If this is not working, do a backup, nand backup, full wipe and start over.

Also read a lot, specialy the first page of this thread.

did u use titanium nackup to restore settings? if so thats what does it(i know for fact, cuz i use this to get rid of the shortcuts so its just lockscreen), if not reflash

fully drained battery no problem during charging...

I apologize for my bad English but I use google translated!! I used it up x titanim recovery ..... and my shortcuts no longer has lockscrenn fast ..... What advice do?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
I replied to your post a few pages back already, and fallenangel has also said the same thing. Reflash the rom, without the wipe and it should work. The problem was caused by restoring settings with Titanium
[HTC Sensation] BladeKnight:
posted how clean install fresh rom...anyways:D

1. recovery

2. supwer wipe

3. install rom 3.0.4

4. finish installation, don't sync

5. recovery

6. install favorite mods

7. reboot

8. recovery clear cache and dalvik

9. reboot

10. install back-ups (Titanium)

11. recovery clear cache and dalvik again

Got one question: Screen on means cpu either 382mhz (ca) or 1.5ghz? Nothin in between? Used cpustats, and it always either shows the min or max.. is this how its supposed to be? Screen on results in huge battery drain, due to screen on (...) And 1.5ghz i guess.

Does someone know if I can prevent the HTC widgets from reflashing themselves to often ? Especially people widget. When I doing one round on carussel it reflashes the pictures... That's to much and causes lag sometimes

Thanks

Edit: and I flashed beats mod . How can I enable it. Don't see an option in music player
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Yes, but it's only the max frequency... So if screen-on but 'idle' or not so busy, CPU will use frequencies in between.

You should try to use System Tuner, it shows how much time spent in each frequency, as per screenshots.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Values in between will be used as well mate.
[HTC Sensation] q9650:
This Rom is superb, i only noticed the glitches once Today. They were at the Youtube widget on my homescreen :p All in one im loving this rom :)
[HTC Sensation] BIGMOH:
Mike Excellent ROM!!!

No complains at all apart from the internet pass through doesn't work, but doesn't effect me as i use data and WiFi and YES, the heat issue. Although the heat issue was always there if anyone remembers their stock ROM would have the same effect, so not sure how your ROM would make it any cooler :P

Keep up the great work, fast and simple!
[HTC Sensation] ofsinreno:
No, I think he is talking about CHT which was a pretty sweet add-on for Sense. It gave you complete control over all the widgets and allowed for a truly customizable homescreen.

I think development on Sense 3.0 is still limited- give it some time and I bet someone will come up with a similar homescreen app like that.

new build should fix it but that prob goes in FAUX123 kernel thread as its not rom related
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
I've read some 20 pages back:

Seen people talking about Sygic Navigator.

I used this navigator with the stock 2.3.3 ROM, stock kernel, etc, before the Sensation was S-off and rooted

=> Once, I had forgotten that my display backlight was set at the max, using Sygic killed my battery when my phone was plugged and charging in my car!

Completly killed, I had to wait some hours before it started charging again. (red light blinking but no charge)

So for people having issues with Sygic, I think there's a compatibility problem, remember that Sygic, at first, was not compatible with the Sensation, only the latest update made it compatible, maybe it's not perfect

Mike, does your sensations still seem cooler than before ARHD 3.0.4 + faux123 v10? Mine really seems..

Why do we have so different results? Do our Sensations have different pieces of hardware to explain it, or is it the way we flash, the fact some come from earlier ARHD versions without full wipe (I havent' wiped since a looong time!)? The add-ons we have? (No Sense for example?)

PS: yes yes, I'm ashamed to say I still use a task killer, just because in the good old past, I was a WinMo user ^^ Maybe it's useless, but everything is stable with 7833 overall score at CFbench and 104.6 at linpak both at 1.7ghz, posted somewhere here in the pevious pages. If they are useless, I don't think task killers may hurt except if your fool enough to make it endlessly kill apps
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
Oh cool ... You really mean the same . Then I will try that ... Thanks...

And in task killer I have to force "people" to stay open?

Mike, I have a task killer just by "old school" superstition, I know it's useless, but really, I don't think I'm among the ones with many problems, and I have some of the very best benchmark scores around as well as fast UI, fast 3D rendering, cooler device now, decent battery life,etc.

Just my 2 cents to say I don't think task killers, even if useless, can be a source of bugs, crashes or poor battery life, people should look elsewhere for the reasons of their problems in my opinion
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Task killers can do more damage then you can imagine mate, believe me. Manually killing is maybe not that danger, but setting task killer to run automatically in the background is a ROM killer, not tasks killer.
