Mike,

A little update on the new version... I like the speed of 3.0.1 but my battery life took a hit. In the last few versions I would get a good solid 14-15 hours of use out of a full charge but it has gone to 9-10 hours with 3.0.1 (and I didn't use it as much as normal). I might try a different kernel and see if that helps but the stock kernel is a bit more of a hog from what I can see.
[HTC Sensation] m0rgul:
Please integrate picasa web albums in future version, I think that's a great feature in android.

Would it be possible to make app drawer transparent ?
[HTC Sensation] jetjockgordo:
Yes, I am noticing that as well. Using Battery Monitor Widget Pro I can see in the history that prior to the upgrade from 2.1.x it was using 30-90 mA with the screen off and 150-300 mA with the screen on and now it doesn't go below 110 (screen off) and spends much of it's time at 250-400. I did a Titanium restore so I got back to exactly what I had with 2.1.

It kind of makes sense that the added performance will come at the expense of battery life.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I forced cpu1 to run all the time :)
[HTC Sensation] affliction_emrah:
Same experience as i stated.
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
I recommend using fastboot commands from Bootloader. Take the radio.img file out of the zipped PG58img.zip file and place the radio.img file in your SDK tools folder on your PC. PLug in your USB cable. Boot to the bootloader...NOT recovery. Test the connection by typing on your PC:

fastboot devices <enter>

You should see your serial number of your device. You are only using fastboot commands. NO adb stuff. If you see the device do this:

fastboot flash radio radio.img <enter>

You should see the radio installing. Reboot after it completes to the bootloader screen and you should see the new Radio version
[HTC Sensation] jetjockgordo:
Well, that makes sense! Is there a way to change that? During the day at work I don't have very many opportunities to plug in so good battery life is fairly important to me.

I really do love the performance with cpu1 on but I would like to toggle it off and see how that works.

Thanks a million Mike!
[HTC Sensation] gangstar:
solved. now tell me how can i use setcpu 2.2.4?

i cant seem to find my device in device list!?
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
SetCPU will NOT work without proper Kernel support. If you cannot use the option to automatically detect the best setting, then it isn't supported.
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Dude he's just saying he managed to do it....this isn't a feature in his ROM. As for bad battery life it just needs a couple charging cycles bro
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
That would be a decent reply if many people weren't experiencing the same exact issue.

Personally, I have been using ARHD almost since the beginning and have flashed every new version using various kernels. This isn't my first rodeo and it isn't just an issue of just needing to go through a couple of cycles.

Mike needs to know things like this so let people report their findings.... Bro. :)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Just tried your ROM today. I've been with LeeDroid since the beginning (great guy, great developer), but I was a bit bored. Revolution is very nice, feels snappy, everything appears to working fine. I am getting 3G and even Edge where I was getting strong "4G" before. I'll wait and see if this settles down. It may be the kernel as I was using Unity V8 before.

I also noticed more free memory on Revolution.

Overall, very nice job, not totally converted yet, I'll try Lee's upcoming update based on RUU, then see.

Great work, impressive ROM.

P.
[HTC Sensation] jetjockgordo:
Dude-meister bro-heim, yes I understand but I wasn't sure if it could be toggled by changing a toggle value in a config file like the power button screen shot could be. I have waited a few charging cycles and the battery usage stats are still showing a 15-20% increase in overall draw. 2.1 had really good battery life and I would like to stay with V3 so I was just wanting to see if there is a reasonable explanation/way of making that change since Mike admitted that cpu1 is on all the time now. Believe me, if I could do a quick short charge during the day I would totally be fine with the extra current draw.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Hahaha legendary reply.. Bro.

Too funny. Fair one
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
As far as I remember Lee said that there is no difference between 1.35 RUU patched with 1.45 OTA and 1.45 RUU. Did he change his mind? ;)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
I won't speak for him, but he specifically made a point of letting us know next version will be based on RUU.

P
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
ou someone just again rated my thread with 1 star, nice :D I wish there is also "0" rate then this hater will have more fun :D
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
LOL...these idiots seem to think that real devs are bothered by the rating of their threads...:rolleyes:

For the record, I just gave you a 5 :p
[HTC Sensation] kayroccs:
ok y is it that my "h" symbol is always in the notifications but i have my data turn off from the setting ?? anyone experiencin this?
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
Are mods work with this rom. I am interested in Camera mod and Quick settings mod.

Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] aeox:
Yes, it was said 2.1 mods work
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
Thank you for the info. :D
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Haaaaaaawp!

This is so strange because I noticed that at some point my screen capture stopped on 3.0, though I just noticed this morning, before I flashed 3.0.1. And I upgraded to 3.0.1 without a super wipe (first time ever as I usually wipe and restore from Titanium Pro.) I just Checked my build.prop and screen capture is enabled but apparently no longer working. I used to use it all the time. :-( Whyyyy is this happening deeeeeaaaaar laaaaaawrd!?
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Wait why the hell are you trying to mock me? He thought Mike had forced both the CPUs to run in his ROM and i told him that he misunderstood and that Mike was saying he achieved this, then I tried to give him a tip for battery life.

So don't ever try to mock me again
[HTC Sensation] kripwalk:
Mike 3.0.1 is insane. Just 2 questions. Do the 2.1.0 battery mods work with 3.0.1? And does the unity v7 kernel work ok with 3.0.1?
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
Don't ever try to mock me again... Don't ever try to mock me again...

Seriously.... Don't ever try to mock me again! I mean it. Don't do it. seriously.
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Anyone else out of space in internal phone storage? Don't have much to take up space. Confused. I also noticed a better signal with this version. Cool
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Wipe cache partition in recovery :)
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Wow. That was fast. Lol. I'll give it a shot. Loving this build btw. No screen shot problems, overheating or anything. Thanks bro
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Lil ***** hiding behind a computer/phone screen. Iyt bro say nothing
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I'm glad to hear that ;)
[HTC Sensation] PhaedraCorruption:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when flashing the Super Wipe app, the cache partition will also be wiped, right?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
This is correct, but for some reason sometimes it needs to be wiped once more time after flashing ROM if Market doesn't work.
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
I am actually a very large and athletic (not to mention brutally hansom and wickedly intelligent) ***** hiding behind a computer/phone screen. But that's neither here nor there. To put it into words you will understand... 'You don't want none... Bro.' :)

Ok.... No more derailing this topic. Mike has worked hard on this rom so there is no need for an e-peen contest.
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Nandroid and try. Mods do work. At least apm does
[HTC Sensation] Master&Slave™:
None of the custom kernels are working for me, used the recommended method of downloading the tool from the op and everytime i follow instructions, i boot to a blank screen.

[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
I'm not big but I can take you all. Bring it. Lol.

Someone asked earlier forgot who. The theme the screenshots were posted of is called neon glow. Cool theme
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Sooooo 24h with Android Revolution 3.0.1, still with unity v7 like I was with 3.0.0

If I got it right, using v7 may remove some tweaks of the 3.0.1 rom...?

but I need o/c so I keep using it since even on 3.0.1 I find it much better than v8, in terms of battery life and as good for 3D

So battery life when screen is off is now huge, today I was busy, no time to play, just 2 calls, 5 sms one mms and 10 minutes wifi, for the rest of the day my phone was in standby.............> I've lost only 6% of my battery within 13 hours.

My device didn't get hot, screen capture is working (and only when I want it!), no black screen, just a sudden reboot yesterday evening when playing DragRacing, an games that doesn't require much ressources but uses data connection

Mike, what kind of trick are you trying to achieve by playing with the CPU cores? You said you could force CPU1 to be 100%, can you access CPU2 somehow? That would be huge !(whether you care or not, the fact is that your roms seems to be one of the 2 best for CF bench ^^)

Do you know this app: CPU usage and frequency monitor?

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/cpu-usage-frequency-monitor-dual-core-support/

It doesn't support showing frequency on the Sensation, but the monitor in the top curtain shows 2 CPU that wotk asynchrone. Can we rely on it to show our CPU cores activty?
[HTC Sensation] ikhtiaralam:
All these guys need to grow up. Ha. It's not even funny.
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
You quoted me but I was kidding. I'm not even in it. I don't wanna grow up. I'm a toys r us kid
[HTC Sensation] ikhtiaralam:
I know, I was quoting you because I could tell you were making fun of them.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Guys you really need to stop :)
[HTC Sensation] Dandroid4g:
Mike, I just love how you handle things.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Ok guys current progress:

1. Me and madmaxx82 were testing some scripts over past 5 hours (:eek:) and we managed to do the following:

Screen ON:

a) When screen is ON both cpu0 and cpu1 are running all the time

b) Both cpu0 and cpu1 are running from 192 MHz to 1.2 GHz when screen is ON

c) Both cpu0 and cpu1 are using ondemand governor when screen is ON

Screen OFF:

a) When screen is OFF only cpu0 is running, cpu1 is not enabled

b) cpu0 is running from 192 MHz to 384 MHz (excellent battery saver)

c) cpu0 is using conservative governor (excellent battery saver)

Benchmarks like quadrand didn't increase (still about 2000 points) but overall performance is noticeable better.
[HTC Sensation] evo9mrjr:
how do i find out my radio version

Sir Mike, is this for the next version ( 3.0.2)?
[HTC Sensation] kfjunky:
Sounds great.

Need any testers?
[HTC Sensation] skyhigh2004:
Oh I hope so.

Sent from my Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] jetjockgordo:
Fantastic, thanks, it works!
[HTC Sensation] Pneumatic:
I can live without high benchmarks so it sounds like you are on the right track.

Personally, I would gladly sacrifice a little performance for long battery life but I am probably in the minority on that.

Sent from Android Revolution HD using XDA app.
[HTC Sensation] jetjockgordo:
Mike, how does this compare to what we have in 3.0.1? Earlier you mentioned that you have cpu1 forced on, would it be that both cpu's are on when the screen is off?
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
can u improve pictures quality in gallery ??
[HTC Sensation] kfjunky:
Your not alone:)

I believe there are a buch of us who use our Sensation for every day use.

Though I guess we shouldn' neglect the fact that game lovers withneed of maximum speed exist,

but that should be solved once the kernel source is released and we see OC ready custom kernels.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
we dont have the 2 cpus working ???
[HTC Sensation] PaPer android:
Can anyone help me out with this? Iv been trying over and over to flash the 10.56 radio. I use adb to get the phone into fastboot, then send the flash radio command and see the little green bar on the phone as if the radio is being flashed. I then reboot through adb and my baseband is still the 10.42 radio. I just dont understand why everything goes smoothly and i end up not having the new radio.

Edit: I take that back i wasnt reading everything in the command terminal any idea why id get

sending radio... okay

writing radio... failed (remote not allowed)
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
Is there a mod or something in the market that can change the smiles. I hate those Android ones.
[HTC Sensation] evo9mrjr:

[HTC Sensation] jmcdonald58:
I used the fastboot method d/l PG581IMG checked it with md5 checker put on root of sd booted in bootloader said yes to update rebooted with new radio removed PG581IMG from root --took maybe 1 minute found the instrustions in the radio thread they seemed to differ on which method is best this worked great for me ---I would check it out if you keep having troubles
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
I am sorry is that a specific thread or are you just over at themes forum?
[HTC Sensation] kfjunky:
Google it.

It is a online kitchen where you can cook your own theme.

You should also go to the first page of this thread where you will find

a zip file with the 3 files you will need to upload to the kitchen when cooking.

Content for UOT kitchen:

Framework content from 1.1.x ROMs - you can use it in this UOT kitchen to customize my ROM

Framework content from 3.0.x ROMs - you can use it in this UOT kitchen to customize my ROM

Of course you can extract them yourself from System, but Mike was nice enough to post them.:)

I love how mike1986 is one of the only devs that personally answers the questions of all his users. And actually fulfills their requests.

Forget the ROM im just delighted by ur ability to make everything better. A couple pages back you said that some one gave you "1" star and it didn't even effect you.

That is a good trait to have^^^^^^^^^

Appreciate all the work you do man, and ur rom was the first and is the best to ever hit the Sensation. :D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:

How hard would it be to implement a mod to this rom, to possibly change the right personalized key to something else, like Messages or Camera?
[HTC Sensation] woundtrauma:
As less as accounts and backgrounds syncers as powerful and smooth it is. I leaved hTC's Twitter and Facebook apps without login and phone is lot more smoother than usual.

Second thing is task killers. I owned Advanced Memory Optimizer but they just slow down your phone. Do Not Use them.. :)
[HTC Sensation] woundtrauma:
If the button is on screen, it shouldn't be hard. There is guide in hTC DHD section, but I'm not sure will it work in Sensation.. :)

I'll search it...

Hello, i installed 3.0.1 and have some questions.

How to install battery % mod? In 2nd post i see it is ovailable for 2.x version.

Installed OC Daemon, but it displays "interactive" governor and no frequency values (select boxes are empty) and the apply button is not active. How to change the frequencies and governor?

Tried with SetCPU but it seems not recognize the frequencies and gives 1000 for max and 192 for min. How can i fix it to allow 1200mhz ? Changing the max freq. does not seem to work as i can set it to 200mhz but it still shows 978mhz as current freq.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Stock ROM does support overclocking with Deamon or SetCPU. You need to install one of the custom kernels.

If go cycle back about 20-30 pages, I believe people have confirmed that u can use the 2.1 mods for 3.0.1 but take a look for the post to make sure.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Anyone suggest the best way to increase headphone volume? Listening to music just isn't quite loud enough, even with my canalphones.

I tried DSP Manager, but it just FCs :(
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
How about a screen shot showing the so many hours of use since plugged in with about phone and the battery option showing exactly WHAT is using the battery amounting to 6% usage over 13 hours. Then another screen shot over so many hours etc to show whether this is logrithmic in nature where averages evenly showing your rate till the battery is down lets say to 20% etc. I can tell you that many users would report unbelievable stats with a Nexus One and certain ROM/kernel combinations, and basically was because there was some anomaly where the stats were just NOT going to be shown smoothly all the way down so to speak, or even that the battery reports one thing yet it really is NOT the amount stated, due to some weird interaction with battery and the electronics etc associated.

Sense 3.5 coming or....

Hi mike1986

Just saw info regarding the future version of HTC Sense - Version 3.5 - on htcpedia.com

Will You build this into future releases of Your fantastic ARHD Rom ?

Just a question !

ARHD 3.0.1 works very well for me - great job !

Yours Morten
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
+1 to that. I would prefer battery life to benchmark scores in a heartbeat. Weeks ago I posted over 3000 Quadrants scores on some rom and pushing the CPU. But battery life would drain literally in front of my eyes even when I pulled back on the CPU settings. And personally, when users posts battery results, I wish they WOULD show screen shots of actually how long the battery has been unplugged and exactly what has been in using during those times. About Phone>Battery>Battery Use is a good start. Plus uptime and awake time should be drastically different (awake time should rwally be only around 10% or so of Uptime to achieve lasting battery results that mean anything)
[HTC Sensation] bernardryan:
Hi Mike,

Thanks for this. I just want to find out what should i do with this .zip? Should i extract the .apk from it and install it or should i flash it via CWM "install file from SD"?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
newest AndroidMarket run so slow on my Sensation !! why ??
[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
Volume + from the market. There used to be XDA versions floating around, but I vote for supporting the Developer. Well worth it. Controls speaker, Headset and Bluetooth.

Edit: PS...PowerAmp has a terrific equalizer in it that blows away most of the competition. I like it because it also has a PreAmp level control which adds a layer of how volume can be increased over the hardware button settings.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Could have sworn I read that Volume+ is for speakerphone only.

Will give it a try, thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
It's all in one, however, I've tried it and I see marginal gains at best. There is a kernel developer who is working on an audio hack that should yield better results.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Hmm...trying it now. Does make a difference, but volume still doesn't go very much higher. EQ seems to work better than using PowerAmp EQ alone.

Hi mike as usual I flash your roms and update again and again because i found they are the best, but... little review of unity v8

I flashed the unity v8 kernel and had some issues, black screen when I plug out my phone from my computer, impossible to wake up, so I had to get off the battery.

Battery drain was so important, i just couldn't make a whole day with.

I don't have network at my work, so the 2 times I get out to see if I had messages or so, data network couldn't enable itself unless i pull out the battery and restart my phone :s

ok, had my sensation for a week (coming from a hero which is flashed a gazillion roms on :)) and after a lot of reading and consideration, i went with this rom...

everything has worked out great so far but the only weird thing is the quadrant score: i consistently get about 1100-1200 where cf bench and atuntu do seem normal...

i KNOW benchmarks are just that and that real life performance is more important (and feels great) but the difference does seem very high.. Any ideas as to why ?

thanks for your hard work !

edit: i did the superwipe thingie and started from scratch, my quadrant scores with stock where about twice that
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Did u run Superwipe before installing it?

Try a custom kernal, I got excellent scores with RCMix but the USB connection is broke at the moment so Im sticking with stock. Althou once 3.0.2. is released ill be sticking with stock forever.
