Hi,

Just a little input for those looking into saving battery...

I have stripped down ARHD 6.6.4 to my very needs, now I have less apps (which I don't use anyway) and they don't keep starting and communicating without my consent or knowledge.

Result is way better standby battery drain, which is now a lot more regular and lower.

Might be a path to experiment if you're looking into optimizing your Sensation a little further.

What joaquinf said about kernels, I believe is also true for ROMs : "it's a matter of taste and personal choice".

So I went that path for the ROM as well, and am quite pleased with the result !

Please don't get me wrong here, I am in no way saying mike wouldn't do a perfect job, he does ! But it's general use as it needs to suit many and it sticks to htc as closely as possible, and I just made it custom fit for me :D

I am aware, and so please be also aware, that this path can lead also to issues if removing stuff that is needed, I do, and you'd need to, accept that you're on your own when doing so :rolleyes:

So if you try and it doesn't work, try to find the solution youself, if you can't, start over with a complete ROM and strip again piece by piece (or use TitaniumBackup to freeze step by step like I did and batch remove later) ;)

JP.

Hi,

I am assuming this question has been answered but going through that many posts would take too long, but can you use radio 11.72.3504.00U_11.23.3504.08_M2 with this ROM?

thanks people :)
[HTC Sensation] sirioo:
I have to reinstall leedroid Tweaks Sensation v4.3 ?? I do not remember that I could choose the keyboard
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Yes, you can. Make sure you go to the radio/ril thread to gather all the information and files. Don't forget to flash the matching RIL
[HTC Sensation] yusg1:
Great thanks very much and quick response :) :) much appreciated
[HTC Sensation] jason2234:
Hi guys

Got a small problem need some help and advice.

I brought an anker 1900 battery. Fully charged it with the phone off, reset battery stats and off I went. However I've found that the battery percentage is unreliable. For example I can have 49% and restart will then show 69%or something stupid. I'll have like 59% for ages then it'll drop really quickly like 10%. Just now the phone switched off while I was playing asphalt 6. When I switched it back on with the charger in it says I have 16% even though the phone was completely dead flashing red.

Am I missing something?

Am on 6.6.4 using faux kernel. Radio etc all correct versions.
[HTC Sensation] GuerillaTech:
Yank, when you say HTC facebook removed, are you talking about "facebook for HTC sense"?
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
mike could you maybe look into this ?

i think the genlock errors come when installing tweaks !
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Yes, though I do use facebook, but the regular one. Also, I use Go Launcher so I'm not leaving that much of Sense goodies ;)

JP.
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
A few questions... If I may? :)

Why disable cache? What's the benefit?

Same question about the density...

We have swipe left screenshot?? Swipe left where? :D

WTF is bash? :D
[HTC Sensation] SENSATION_XE:
i dont know if its normal but when i have my phone on standby and i touch the buttons i get a haptic feedback? sweep2wake is ok but i dont want to have a feedback when im touching the buttons?

furthermore my leedroid tweaks aint working very well. when im setting aosp lockscreen i cant hide date or can change anything.. or when im moving the clock to center and rebooting i have 2 clocks..

would be nice to get an answer, probably i will not as always
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Regarding haptic feedback you will need to disable it under: Settings > Sound > untick the very last option "Vibrate feedback". After that you won't experience the vibration while s2w. However, it will be disabled system wide.

If you want to disable s2w or enable s2w but disable the backlight take a look at this flashable files that showp has made for us.

i have no idea about leedroid tweaks. I don't use any additional tweaking packages
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
I am having a weird problem. Thumbnaildata3 this file is eating u 2.83 gb data and more whenever available on my SD. I dont understand why. I deleted it but it comes back again. WHAT is going on?
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
There shouldn’t be haptic feedback when the phone is in standby. Perhaps you have it because you are using AOSP lockscreen? Never tried that combination so I don't know. If not, perhaps reflash the kernel...

And I don't think Leedroid tweaks can change anything in the AOSP lockscreen. They do change the Sense one though :)
[HTC Sensation] tk_xda:
I have a similar situation on 6.6.4 with faux - phone indicates battery just over half drained, phone shuts off and won't restart, battery dead.
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
So that's why that cache thing made no sense :D

My phone doesn't take a screenshot when swiping, or with power+home combo... But I did just find this in build.prop:

# Properties for supporting framework features

ro.htc.framework.screencapture = true

Guessing it's safe to remove? :)

Also, you seem like a guy who would enjoy spending time with Tasker. Take a look into it, if you hadn't already...

Infinite source of tweaking/battery saving wonders :D
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Remove no, but change it to :

ro.htc.framework.screencapture = false

Which is what I did ;)

Tasker, nope, not yet at least ! Will give a look at it ;)

[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Guys, I found an issue related to sms. If I reply to a sms as soon as I get it, my reply is stored, in the threaded list, before the sms received. It happens all the time my reply has the same time as the one received.

So my question is: is it possible to modify this behavior? And second, is it possible to modify the sms thread list in order to show the number of messages of the several threads?
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
I had this issue, try setting ur clock to network automatic
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Already done, but it doesn't change... I think that the behavior has to be modified setting a rule that if I reply, my sms has to be stored AFTER the last one in the list, no matter of the time.

Because it can happen the other way round. I receive an sms that will be stored in the list BEFORE my last reply, and in this case I miss new sms...
[HTC Sensation] dimitarc:
Bump! Anyone?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
If your current card isn't partitioned, then just copy everything to your PC, and then to the new card. Or if you have 2 readers, from the old card to the new directly.

If it is partitioned, then you need to tell us more about it ;)

Anyhow, ROMs won't partition the sd card, they might make use of the partitions if they are present, but you would have to partition the card for the ROM.

[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
This could be a carrier network problem, I had this just after daylight savings for a week or so and all my messages sent received where an hour behind untill I called them and they sorted it a couple days later.
[HTC Sensation] carn2k:
Link broken for TMOUS patch

Can anyone provide me with a link to the TMOUS patch "for better signal and data speeds!" The link in the OP seems to be broken.
[HTC Sensation] tk_xda:
This did not help.

My issue is only with trying to install titanium backup. Other installs work fine. I have over 500mb free internal storage now.

Any reason why the Go launcher or declining Sony Bravia or declining Supercharger for the ROM could prevent Titanium from installing?

Will this work for Cincinnati Bell? Cincinnati Bell's 3G frequencies are 1700/2100 MHz, which is actually the same at T-Mobile's.
[HTC Sensation] svcr0c0:
Let me guess... You are on Rogers in Canada? Even if you are not, this is a known issue with sense roms on Rogers. Download sms time fix from the market, activate it and your sms time stamps will be correct.
[HTC Sensation] carn2k:
Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
You can get the other two variants of that fix here. I believe the one from the original post is the DisH2 version, not the latest DisH2 version which was included in the ICS release.
[HTC Sensation] sumasage:
just curious if this rom use Aroma installer?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Hi. This rom does not use aroma installer.
[HTC Sensation] Sick Nasty:
Will this work with FW 3.32.531.14 70RD?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Yes, 3.32 firmware is a must.

Wth is 70RD?
[HTC Sensation] Sick Nasty:
Lol Idk but it says that
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
What rom are you on?? I dont have such thing
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I think that is what you get if you flash the OTA from Steve0007.
[HTC Sensation] eocdouble:
It looks like he is using stock USA ICS ROM.
[HTC Sensation] dyval:
does superwipe deletes sd card files?thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
No, it deletes everything else

You will lose app data, SMS, contacts and bookmarks
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
None of your existent data on the sd card will be touched. Superwipe does delete some rom related files but you wont even notice the free space.
[HTC Sensation] dorianborovina:
This script will erase and format your data, system and cache partition...

Your SD card will remain untouched FAT32 and it's recommended to leave it like that :)

Do you know that Sensation have f***ed up battery reading sensors? :P

That explains your problem..

It's by default :D

[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
My phone's battery reading accuracy isn't so bad. :D
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Oh. And also, did you do a proper first charge of your phone when you got your anker 1900mAh battery? If you didn't, that might also be the cause.
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
I'm experiencing this as well. I assumed that this is due to the fact that I use the Foto Grid widget and make a lot of pictures so it often needs to rebuild the thumbnails.

Anyway, not a biggie for me, just deleting the folder once a while and I'm all good
[HTC Sensation] Luigiesin:
Same here...
[HTC Sensation] jason2234:
I gave it full charge with the phone off, didn't switch it on until the light was green
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
That's not how you do a first full charge. It's just like how you charge your phone when you first got it. Charge for around 8 hours. Not until the light turns green.
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Mike it's everything ok? Do you need more people for testing? You said you would ask for testers but I think you should have already get them from IRC or so...

Just if you need help testing let us know! Most of us will be glad to help :)

If all it's OK no hurry then :D :D Just worried about you needing help here actualy :P (Ok, I'm a bit bored this days at work and need something xD)
[HTC Sensation] jason2234:
Run it flat first?
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
For doing this it came handy using apps like Battery monitor widget or current widget, so I knew the exact moment when my phone switched from charging to discharging, exactly after 1 hour 15 minutes after it was "full" for me ;)
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
Nope. Not necessary. This is essential for new batteries or they will not be able to last very long. :)
[HTC Sensation] nyteblayde:
8 hours is the standard charge time for new batteries. :)
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
The new tmous Rom has fixed the exchange settings resetting bug.

Would it work if I simply take the mail.apk from that zip and replace the one in your zip before flashing
[HTC Sensation] nkojic:
Still nothing from Mike not even changelog?
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Akaik he look kinda busy in One X & Transformer threads so let's just wait, he has the priority to update his current devices isn't it logic? No hurry it will come some day :)
[HTC Sensation] magicmanavfc:

has anybody got dlna working with this rom?

I can view pics but not stream video from my phone to tv, i've tried all the apps such as skifta etc but no joy with video any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I'm still here, considering now to release full rom based on t-mobile update for sensation 4g users.
[HTC Sensation] jackyaway:
Hi Mike, have you seen the 3.32.401.105_R2 release here?
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Only for 4G? :(

THe ones with normal Sensy want more things to flash! :P

Just kidding, thank you mike!
[HTC Sensation] RCOO:
My Sensation has the firmware version 3.32.162.11, would I be able to install this rom on it? Or would I have to change the firmware (I'm going to install it without S-Off, because I'm on HBOOT 1.27).
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
All APN Settings are correct. It's only been happening since i flashed 6.6.4 XE it worked perfectly on 6.6.3 XE.

That's been happening to me too. I tried setting the phone to network time, and setting it manually, but it still happens.
[HTC Sensation] nkojic:
So just for 4g users? What about others who have normal Sensations and Sensations XE in Europe without 4g?
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Excellent. A couple of fixes in that Rom are exchange settings bug and car mode now works. So well worth doing.

Will you be making it so that all sensation owners can use it and not just tmobus.
[HTC Sensation] InquisitiveG:
That would be awesome!!:D
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I think a lot of people will be interested in that. Your ROM with T-Mobile US WiFi calling would be a real winner.
[HTC Sensation] derekyeu:
AGREE!
[HTC Sensation] mikeydee81:
Dude....A tmo based Rom would be super sweet!!!!!

Most issues seem to be with tmo users and being reception and data speeds as the main issue.....a tmo based Rom would be a blessing!!!!

Not to totally disregard the regular sensation users but the current Rom seems to be already fantastic on that platform.
[HTC Sensation] demonsavatar:
This would be ideal! Plenty of us using the 4G.
[HTC Sensation] dajogejr:
You've already given us a great cake Mike... A TMOUS based ROM would be the icing...

Thank you!

And I used to restart phone after 2 days of operation as it starts to have slow response... It has been 4 days since my last restart and counting....
[HTC Sensation] Gho57:
Hey new RUU "R2" for XE users:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26279866&postcount=1
[HTC Sensation] tk_xda:
For my problems with Sense restarts and inability to install Titanium Backup (bogus space full) that I have been discussing scattered over the last 30 pages, I redid the flash with a superwipe, and again took all the options for the install of 6.6.4 and a faux kernal. It seems better. (I had originally came from 6.6.3 and skipped the SuperWipe. Perhaps Mike should just start saying SuperWipe is mandatory for all updates.)

Still one question. What should I do to get accurate readout on battery? Phone usually thinks my battery is about half charged after 1.5 hours of screen on time and the battery is exhausted soon after. How much screen on time are people getting when doing tasks like web browsing and texting? This phone has always seemed like a battery pig compared to an iphone and I don't know if my time is really too short, or if I just have an indicator problem. I am using a high capacity (1900mah) battery.
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
It's been 25 hours since last charge, 45% missing and 2;30h screen using faux @384-1.18 and ARHD 6.6.4 nothing else special done...

You should download an app like cpu spy or something like that and PM me the results, some app should be preventing your phone from going into deep sleep maybe ;)

Btw while I charge it it goes to 99% in 30minutes, then like 2 hours to have it REALLY at 100% (battery monitor at 100mA flat). Moreover battery % completely screws up if I reboot but after a while it gets to the same and real %.
[HTC Sensation] tk_xda:
How much screen time are you getting from a full cycle? What if you are using the phone a lot during a period of intense tinkering or playing with it?

Whatever my life is, how do I fix the battery indicator so it shows almost dead when it is almost dead?
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Why do I recieve two notification for one messege on the status bar? Also there are two sounds.

And another big problem is that under DCIM I have a 2.8 GB thumbnail3data file. I tried delete it and it comes back. Any idea Mike?
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Usually around 3h screen 20h wifi 100% time data On and some gaming and video recording at class.

To fix it try what I did, maybe silly but worked when I bought Anker 1900! Full charge your battery (8 hours or so, until current indicators show it's not charging anymore.) Then switch off and unplug battery, replug. Then use it normally until it goes off (21% for me that day), then repeat process of charge but no need to unplug battery and done ;)

Hope it helped!
[HTC Sensation] SENSATION_XE:
how can i uninstall apps like friendstream, htc hub and so on?
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
You cant. Unless you cook a rom without those aps.
[HTC Sensation] nkojic:
So if i flash this on my xe i will have latest official serial rom? Then i just need to do a command for s-on right?

this App/Widget are present in /system/app you can simply delete the apk file i think

Me too... the real difference is in the fact that the ROM 3.0 is based on full 1.45.401.2 HTC base

the previous one was "Re-based" with new 1.45.401.2 base

and the Stock 1.45.401.2 is really faster than the previous one :)

As one more thing add all the improovement on the 1.45.401.2 and you will obtain this... however i think that there still a wide margin of improovement in the future room... very wide
