[HTC Sensation] Cayniarb:
Also, another dev tip here: those 'hacks' you removed (my word, not yours) were not to 'add shooter support.' They were to add pyramid support to the shooter kernel. So, you're still working off a shooter base for this.
[HTC Sensation] mdeejay:
for me its shooter support
[HTC Sensation] eViL D::
You're interpretation of the OP leaves much to be desired. I'm not sure why you felt so butt hurt. If m-deejay wanted to hide or mislead, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't even post his source or even keep one for that matter. Please, get off your high horse. I respect your work, but you sir are a douche. And, to anyone that thinks this behavior is OK, it is not (yes, those that gave thanks to flaming posts). This is one of the reasons why there is an exodus of members leaving XDA.
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
Countless wasted keystrokes; I understood you the first time and quite frankly you are trolling:

We came to the realization ourselves that our policy did not make sense and was simply unenforceable. See here for details: http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/08/new-policy-on-ports-and-rom-inclusions.html. Across the team we have dozens of threads and the text simply has not been updated yet. Not only is the change on our website, we tweeted about it several times and stated it in several threads here.

Kernels are obviously excluded from any policy, since they are covered by GPLv2. Regardless of what is stated in our text or anyone else's, the license on the kernel trumps it.

Assuming #1 or #2 were not enough, we do not even ship a custom kernel with Virtuous Sensation. It includes the stock kernel, which makes this entire discussion a complete waste of everyone's time.

If we weren't all about sharing kernel code, why would all of us who are building kernels be publishing every change in Github? Our ROM is kept in a private repository but our kernels are not, there's obviously a reason for that. Feel free to take off your Community Defender cape and go back to doing something more useful.
[HTC Sensation] Cayniarb:
If you understood me the first time I would not have needed to repeat myself so many times.

1. I congratulate you on realizing what was otherwise an intuitively obvious fact. But I don't give a crap about you updating your information elsewhere. The issue is here and it needs to be fixed here.

2. That being minus your ridiculous 'devs DONT use this kernel' comment I have to assume.... Or maybe that's because your kernel loops other 2.3.4 ROMs and you don't want users to discover that yours is 2.3.4 in build.prop only.

3. Until the kernel that you post in this thread has it's own thread for discussion, you get to deal with kernel issues here too. That's all on you though. Not like it's hard to start a thread.

And as for your github note... is this a joke? 'Publishing every change'? With a snapshot commit? Really? Do you have any concept of how git functions at all?

Pointing out the fact that developers fail to comply with their own standards and informing users that the kernel being offered to them is *not* really coming form where they are told it is is not trolling. Continuing to defend that behavior however...
[HTC Sensation] mdeejay:
Cayniarb

I'm sorry but your point of view nothing for me

you can continue posting how "bad guy m-deejay forked your GREAT source"
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Thread re-opened.

This ROm comes with the HTC stock kernel. No source is required. And in any case, the optional custom kernel has it's source on github.
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
Thanks so much!!!

I love MDJ's work, I dont get why so many people have been jumping on him recently...here, Iconia forum....PLEASE COME BACK TO ICONIA!!!
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
Hi MDJ,

Is there a Senseless version?

Looking forward to trying this!

Glad to be on your thread again

4D3
[HTC Sensation] Cayniarb:
I could post that. If you had forked my source that is. Or even cloned it and pushed it to a new location.

But you didn't.

You copied it, removed any version tracking (git) information and history (including credits to me, netarchy, toastcfh, klquicksall, bcnice20, thederekjay, and various AOSP/Linux/CAF devs), tried to pass all of it off as your own work, then lied about it when someone pointed it out.

I understand git can be hard to use and even the best developers make mistakes with it (checkout slayher's hilarious credits in commit comments on github when he lost some commits in the middle of a rebase). But so the average end users are clear (you know, the overwhelming majority of people here who don't use git all the time), this is not the sort of thing that happens accidentally. You would have to intentionally remove your git data.

Also, you may have uploaded the source for you *current* kernel, but your last version never had source to match the release. And that is still a GPL violation.

At least now your users get to see the real sources of the software you are offering to them. And now the development community (and the kernel community in particular) can all see your hypocrisy and lies.
[HTC Sensation] icecoldbong:
I'm sorry but your rom nothing for me

i like how you circle talk while deleting "cayniarb stuff" and not let anyone use ur stupid kernel lol
[HTC Sensation] zoth:
Here we go again...

Let's just move on...:( It's not gonna get anywhere.

GPL violation ! Let's burn HTC first.
[HTC Sensation] icecoldbong:
its not gonna get anywhere until he gets rid of stupid warning about using his kernel while he blatantly uses other peoples lol

this is why xda is failing

1. bestbuy popup ad that just took over my whole screen

2. people blindly following directions and colorful letters in OP

3. people thinking if OP is organized with some warnings, it must mean its good and take the OP/dev's word to heart and cant think for themselves

4. people cant think for themselves or do some research
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
For goodness sake, let it rest! If you must, take up any issue in PM, NOT in ROM threads.

Anyone else posting this crap will be silenced. No more warnings.

Regarding the statement about other devs not allowed to use his kernel in their ROM, I shall speak with my colleagues on this.
[HTC Sensation] icecoldbong:
thanks for chiming in, and the warning.

however as a longtime user/lurker of xda, I'm not sure what/why it needs to be discussed with your colleagues.

look at the OP - blatant warning about using HIS kernel

read the last few pages of obvious git commits of full copies of the another developer's kernel - and the latest commits of deleting traces of canyiarb(sp?) while circletalking in a thread full of people who wont bother to click the link in the OP to his kernel "source"

this is a bad trend not just in xda but any rom community where people just look for the download link and dont care about anything else

dont be afraid to show some authority IMO and do what needs to be done - there are plenty of childish threads/roms on xda that go without moderation and blindly lead people (read: v6 supercharger) and this seems to be one of them
[HTC Sensation] Cayniarb:
Also the terms of use of linux kernels are governed by the GPL under which they are released. You can talk to all the colleagues you like, but you will still find that m-deejay, virtuous, unity, me, XDA, or anyone are not in a position to alter that. And warnings to the contrary seem to be opposed to the stated purpose of XDA.

As for the warning, I'm all for dropping this. I have PM'd with other mods about this. The resolution reached in those discussions has not been put into practice. Furthermore, I don't think you want to put yourself or XDA in the untenable position of silencing someone for pointing out GPL violations (among other things) while issuing zero repercussions to the self-admitted violator.

Please, keep the thread locked until this issue is resolved.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
I am aware of the GPL, though not thoroughly versed in the finer details, which is why I am in discussion with my colleagues on the matter.

To be honest I'm sick of reading about the same devs every single day.

Closing this again to let other mods jump in and investigate the real issues here. This is going to be resolved once and for all, no matter what the outcome.
[HTC Sensation] mdeejay:

SCREAMING! I can't get past boot screen ...

Okay, my phone is S-OFF, rooted, up-to-date ClockworkMod, SuperCID, etc.

I've now tried four times to install Virtuous Sensation v1.1.3 and have had zero success.

Everything appears to go well until I finally reboot. All I get is the white/green HTC screen. It never disappears. I've waited as long as 35 minutes before I've given up and removed the battery to try again.

What am I doing wrong?

Peter
[HTC Sensation] drdingdong:
My phone shows an OTA update is available. Is it normal?

Can I apply the update from HTC over Virtuous ROM?
[HTC Sensation] zoth:
Did you check the MD5 prior to flashing? Could very well be a bad download.
[HTC Sensation] drdingdong:
Try full wipe first and then only proceed with ROM installation
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Although I'm relatively new to Android (Great OS), I'm already extremely familiar with much of it ... with one exception.

I've read numerous times about "MD5" but I have no idea what it is or means. When you say to check it, how do I do that? When you say a bad download, do you mean that the file I downloaded is corrupted in some way?

What if I told you that during the installation everything went well, and that it said success at the end prior to the final reboot? Does that help?

Regarding the person who said to wipe, I did that. In fact a full wipe beforehand.

Peter
[HTC Sensation] Rumball:
Have you typed MD5 into Google search? It is a file checksum used to ensure that the file was correctly downloaded. You can download an MD5 app to calculate the checksum of a file and compare with the checksum posted by the developer
[HTC Sensation] tbmoz:
you mention you tried to install Virtuous Sensation v1.1.3 that is just a patch you install after you flash the Virtuous Sensation v1.1.0 Full ROM check that out.
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Sorry, my error. I mean't to say v1.1.0 ROM. When I put 1.1.3, it was a typing error.

Peter
[HTC Sensation] Wolf:
You can use this program on Windows. Just paste the MD5 sum the developer posted for the file and then browse to the file you downloaded and it will check the MD5 sums to see if they match.
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Thank you!

I have but one question ... where can I find the MD5 sum from the developer? I've looked, but can't see it. Perhaps I need glasses (I already wear them).

Peter
[HTC Sensation] Wolf:
It is usually posted where the download link is posted. Usually.

Loosing mobile network

Hello all,

i have an issue with this super smooth rom, i often loose the mobile network connection, the 3G or H icon is still there, but i have no data connectivity.

I've upgraded to the 10.56 radio but it didn't fix it. Ialso tried with different kernels and same result.

Any idea on how to correct this ?
[HTC Sensation] mdeejay:

[HTC Sensation] unixseb:
Do you mean APN ?? i've checked this, and i use the same apn than on my nexus one running CM7 without any trouble :(

[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
SCREAMING ... AGAIN! Never have I had so many problems ...

Never have I had so many problems trying to flash a ROM.

I previously had an HTC Inspire 4G running Virtuous Unity, and it was a pleasure. It flashed perfectly, and operated at lightning speeds.

However, this is definitely not the case with my new HTC Sensation. I have now tried 8 times to flash Virtuous Sensation v1.1.0. The first 4 attempts were simply useless. Each time it went through the installation properly, but when I did the final reboot, it simply stayed at the white/green HTC screen.

Someone said that the MD5 sum may be wrong, and that my ROM download may have a problem. Well, that may have been true, however ...

This morning, just because, I flashed the Android Revolution ROM for Sensation, and it went flawless. Then I opened ROM Manager and attempted to Download and install Virtuous Sensation v1.1.0. Although I didn't ask for it, it also downloaded a patch.

Well, another 4 attempts later and I'm having an even more frustrating situation. Everything seems to install properly, and the reboot goes well. However, once the home screen appears, and I try to press just about anything, something else opens. For example, if I press Menu, my market app may open. If I'm in a program where I need to use the keyboard, such as when I'm entering my security key for my work wifi, I press the letter "a" yet I get "d". I press number 3 and get 8. I press backspace and get whatever. It took me almost five minutes to enter that security key because things just kept bouncing around.

Can someone please explain to me what's happening?

I don't want to use Revolution, but if this continues, I will never go back to a Virtuous ROM again ... even though I had such great success with my Inspire 4G.

HELP!!!

Peter
[HTC Sensation] eViL D::
Update your recovery. Make sure to wipe everything.
[HTC Sensation] escalator:
Yeah, did it in CWM, also cleared cache and cleared cache of messages after booting into rom.

Contact pics in "contacts" still available.

When i replace an exicting picture with a new one, the picture will again visible in sms conversation.

But I have to much contacts to replace them all, a lot of work to search out all the pictures from my friends ...
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Been there, done that!

I don't mean to be flippant, but I did what you suggested a few times; however, I finally have good news.

After the 11th attempt, and for reasons I simply don't know, everything is now working perfectly.

As was the case with Virtuous Unity on my Inspire 4G, this ROM is fantastic.

I have but one issue, and only one at this time. With Virtuous Unity I was able to use a program from the market called CallRecorder Root, which allowed me to make perfect recordings of all incoming and outgoing calls.

This program does not work with Virtuous Sensation, even though there is 2-way call recording CAPABILITIES built in.

Does anyone know which call recording app works with this ROM?

Thanks,

Peter
[HTC Sensation] zimphishmonger:
All your issues besides the most recent seem related to a "dirty wipe" (meaning an incomplete wipe) or from a bad file. Did you MD5 check the file after downloading? It makes a huge difference, cause sometimes the file corrupts a few bits here and there, making the build have strange issues (however it will usually flash okay so that doesnt necessarily mean its not corrupt.
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
I recall VERY clearly being asked to do two wipes. I can't recall the exact words, but when you use ROM manager to install a new ROM, a new window appears with three options. The first is if you want to do a backup of the existing ROM, and the next two involve wipes. I checked all three on every occasion.

Anyway, all is moot now. I said earlier that everything finally installed properly and that things were flying along ... until last night.

I started getting numerous Force Close notifications on quite a number of applications. It became so frustrating, I went back to Android Revolution HD. At this time I don't see myself coming back to Virtuous. Sorry.

Also, my Call Recorder Root application does not work with Virtuous Sensation, and that's a very important issue for me. True, I have not yet found a similar program for Revolution, but I can live with that for now. At least everything else if running very smoothly.

Peter

If someone knows why I began to get all the Force Close issues, and has a solution, AND knows of a 2-way call recording program that works with Virtuous Sensation, I may come back.
[HTC Sensation] taki1erotoman:
Big thanks for Virtuous ROM for HTC Sensation. It's work awesome. It's really ULTRA FAST ROM. Tanks for Youre work!

problem in unity v9 kernel

when the cpu is full loaded, changes the max freq to 1188 (so current freq cant be higher than 1188)

when the cpu has light work changes the max freq to 1512 (or other oc freq)

so with this problem, we dont need oc kernels

no need to put this in EVERYONE'S thread....I'm sure someone read this already in the other 0 threads you wrote it in. People here are not stupid...NO NEED TO REPEAT YOURSELF OVER AND OVER

Edit: sorry i miss read this...thought he was complaining about faux kernel yet again.
[HTC Sensation] drdingdong:
Are any ROM updates expected?
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
I don't disagree with you. I have flashed about 9 ROMs over the last six months, with few or new problems. As I said before, the best ROM I ever used was Virtuous Unity for HTC Inspire.

I don't know why I had so many problems, but I simply can't go back to Virtuous Sensation until I find out why I was getting all the issues. If someone can help, I'd give it another shot, but I won't waste hours and hours on a ROM when the only experience I have so far tells me it won't be worth it.

Again, if someone can help, I would appreciate it.

Regarding your kernel.. Should both cores really be on 1.92ghz?
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Quit using rom manager and do everything through recovery.

Before flashing go to mounts and storage, format /system.

Or better yet use fastboot if you have the engineering bootloader.
