As my 3 weeks old wee one is up since 3:30am I started flashing different roms just to try them between two screaming.. :) I just flashed ARHD 6.8 as I never tried it before. The rom itself is really fast but I noticed the same lags after a while I have had on the stock htc ics rom when bought the phone. After 10-15 minutes of usage the free ram goes down to around 40-50 MB and that's when all the lags kick in. The phone is basically useless for a wee while, until the system frees up some memory or I do it manually from the built in app manager. I'm not doing anything special but surfing, using facebook, google+ and XDA app. Is there any extra step I need to set as everyone is talking about a lag-free and fluid rom and I would like to have the same experience as well. :)

edit: using 3.32 firmware, S-ON, 4-EXT Recovery
[HTC Sensation] pwoita:
I have installed it 3 times (with different governors) and wifi enable doesn't work and gives an error each time.

Ohhhh I remember 6.8 had a seperate version for XE

I suspect it is that.

Anyone know where can I get the 6.8.0 XE version ?
[HTC Sensation] pwoita:
Try using the following:

- Seeder - incredible for lag

- Greenify - dont hibernate services you need running in the background (eg gmail, widgets, etc) or they won't update, but if you don't want things like FB, Maps, etc starting and running when you don't have the app open, then this will save a ton of your free RAM and hopefully help with what your problem seems to be.
[HTC Sensation] shadal:
reboot

I've been using 7.2 on faux kernel(the one built in ina the rom package) and after 4 days, during a phonecall my phone rebooted. Then it was rebooting every 5 minutes... Now im on stock rom with sultan kernel, and the problem started the same way! Could anybody tell me what is wrong with this phone?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Is your battery perhaps a little loose in it's casing?

Jamming a piece of card to keep it firmly in place ,may help.

:)
[HTC Sensation] shadal:
:D it is possible but actually on clean 4.2.2 codename lungo or any non-sense it never happened. Maybe it is a settings problem? I always overclock cpu to 1566, gpu to 320, + use triple swap( turbo boost) + use seeder moderate
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Overclocking is also something that will potentially give you problems.

Try reigning things in a little,and see if that helps.

:)
[HTC Sensation] rubenmartin:
Guys my battery life dropped to 1 day, first days of installing 7.2 , battery stands 2 days that really good. Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Perhaps you could use BETTER BATTERY STATS to see where the problem lies.

:)
[HTC Sensation] pwoita:
Anyone know where can I get the 6.8.0 XE version ?
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
In the first post is noticed, that I have to have "4EXT Touch Recovery". Currently I have to latest HTC stock rom.

So how I do flash the "4EXT Touch Recovery" ?

Will this recovery removed if I flash a stock rom?

Are there any other things I have to consider before flashing this rom? (I have never flashed a custom rom, only an unbranded stock rom)?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Look HERE

2. Flashing a recovery ONLY.

Flashing stock ROM will not remove this.

As you are s-off, go into 4EXT recovery/wipe,and look for "Format all partitions except sd card".

Then, install the ROM.

Backup everything before you start.

:)
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
Thanks for quick response!

How do I have to remove the custom/4EXT recovery, if I want to go back to stock rom?

Okay, in my situation I only have flash this recovery (and better do a full wipe) and then flash this rom? nothing more? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Why would you want to remove 4EXT ? It will work perfectly well with stock ROM.

Yes.Wipe and flash ROM.

:)
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
Well, some time ago I read, that custom recovery + stock rom + OTA updates should not work perfectly together ... :p
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Oh,I see.

Well then,yes you would need to run a RUU to return your phone completely to stock.

Next question:

Why would you want OTA?

Developers here normally take the updates and transfer them into something better than the original from HTC.

:)
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
Oh and I see, that running a RUU brings almost everything back to stock :D

Well, as mentioned, I always used stock roms so far. And I want so have something stable, which is everytime available if I need it. So I thought, that custom roms will be too experimental for me.

But since ICS and Sense 3.6 my sensation will be slower and slower per day :(

Sure, I could set it back to factory defaults, but I think, that it will become slower again.

I don't want to change my phone for several reasons and so I'm looking for a tweaked custom rom which has still stock look. That's why I want so try this rom. And I want so make sure, that I'll be prepared best before doing this :p

Regarding developer updates: I guess that his rom also uses dev updates. How would I install these updates

(Sorry for so many questions ...)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

7.2 version has a few problems,and people are going back to the earlier 6.8 version

It is a good stable ROM and probably better suited for your needs.

Normally updates come in the form of a new ROM.

This is flashed like any other ROM from your recovery.

:)
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
This is why I'm a bit afraid of custom roms. If I did not ask today, I did not get the information, that the version 6.8 might be better. ;)

It's not evident from the first post and links to previous versions are not available.

Flashing these updates will keep personal data or do I have to set up all again?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

It depends on any firmware changes.

I doubt if there will be any more firmware changes for ICS.

:)
[HTC Sensation] bowwowl:

Hi,

Sent from "Desire HD", asking about Inspire 4G, in Sensation forum... :confused:

Spit from a Sensation XE, a revived device while was dying due to lack of support, with TeamVenom, SebastianFM, and other astonishingly amazing developers' benignity...
[HTC Sensation] pwoita:
Yes, for the love of god I need this too!
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Honestly, I highly doubt God cares about whether or not you have XE on your phone.

I believe you can find 6.8.0 XE here though.
[HTC Sensation] rubenmartin:
in this rom why no screenshot app in powermenu? pls help...
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Simultaneously press and hold power button + volume down button

Because it's close to stock.

Power + volume down

Or

Power + home
[HTC Sensation] mardum:
or you can flash DarkForest Tweaks
[HTC Sensation] Ebojager:
Regarding ARHD 6.8.0 Sense 3.6: After reading through the thread regarding Friend Stream and Flickr, it looks like the Flickr plugin was removed from the ROM. I was wondering if anyone had an APK or ZIP so I could add it back in, or is that even possible? I still see the Flickr option in the default gallery, which Id like to take advantage of if possible.

Thank you
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
So do I have to make a backup of personal data before updating (e.g. from 6.8 to 6.9) or is it like OTA updates?

Well, of course I know, that it will be always better to make backups, but I would like to know, if I have to expect a new setup?
[HTC Sensation] pwoita:
Anyone know why with both 6.8 and 6.8 for XE, my wifi won't turn on and just says 'error' ?

Edit: w00000000000000t did a search and found a post by this post by malybru

Thanks 3-months-ago malybru! :good:
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
A few ideas:

- See the first post about "firmware package" and make sure you have the latest firmware installed.

- Reboot into recovery and select wipe dalvik + cache, then retry the wifi.

- Which kernel did you select, stock? If you selected stock, try reflashing with another kernel.

- If these fail, then perform a full clean install (wipe).

Also: searching this thread for "wifi turn on" results in a few posts with similar problems.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Searching is great!!!

:)
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Finding is even better! :)
[HTC Sensation] giannis-21:
hey , just a quick question , if my sensation shutdown because battery was empty all my apps are force closing and I need to do fix perm. in order to make them work again. any idea why this is happening?
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
After much waiting for the elusive 7.5, I've decided to revert to 6.8 XE with the latest Faux123 kernel.

Even if Mike eventually releases 7.5, I think I'll stay on the rock-solid and fast 6.8, unless 7.5 really offers amazing new functionality and proves - after a month or so - to be as solid as 6.8. I get the impression Mike's attention has now turned to the HTC One (or he has a new love in his life... or the HTC One *is* the new love in his life ;)), so any fine-tuning to a 7.5 version (which he said would be a re-work from the ground up) would probably also take longer.

In any case, 6.8 was/is excellent and the best version so far. :good:
[HTC Sensation] sn4k3:
Where can i found v6.8.0XE? and what is its MD5?

Sorry for the question but search is temporarily unavailable
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Look HERE

md5 is on the page.

[HTC Sensation] velvet396:
I have flashed 6.8 XE as recommended for stability, but wifi won't turn on. Doesn't even try. Says error under the button in settings, and if I click to try, it only tries for a second and immediately goes back to "error".

Ignore phone stats in my signature, this is for my wife's Sensation.

Phone is currently:

-ARHD 6.8

-hboot 1.27.0000

-firmware is whatever last official TMo OTA is

-wifi erroring

-TWRP for recovery (4EXT will not load?)

-HTCdev unlocked

-S-ON

-rooted, I think? I loaded SuperSU but unsure how to verify root. running ARHD means root, yes?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

In your quote , you say you are s-on,yet in your signature it says s-off.

Which is correct?

:)
[HTC Sensation] velvet396:
Hi,

Buried in my post it said ignore my signature. Sorry for the confusion. I'm working on my wife's phone, S-ON gave me troubles and I only managed to get ARHD loaded in time for her to use it today.
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy4485:
+1
[HTC Sensation] pwoita:
God I got this very often on 7.2 also.

For me, I would wipe and restore to the most recent backup and it then it worked (and after updating all my apps, make another backup to use in future). But yea it was so frustrating!

Agree 100%

6.8 is awesome anyway. I think I only upgraded because of all the buzz in this thread, but frankly for my concerns there was no difference in features that I even noticed.

I'm trying sebastion kernel first though before going back to faux if sebastion isn't so great.

If you are s-on, this helped me with my wifi error problem with 6.8.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The other confusion I have is the presence of TWRP instead of 4EXT.

4EXT gets installed with the installation of the ROM.

Could it be that you have not properly wiped your phone before installing ARHD?

Look HERE

The idea is to install 4EXT (Part 2 of the thread)

Then,use the wipe option to "Format all partitions except sd card"

Then , use the "Smartflash" option to install the ROM.

Read the thread.

There are other useful tips in there.

:)
[HTC Sensation] velvet396:
I think the lesson is I need to follow that guide - it describes my current situation pretty well.

Not sure how I managed to get ARHD working at all - but this should clear up the issues I have.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] sn4k3:
There is a way to install Sony Xloud on arhd 6.8.0?
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
I just kept upgrading assuming it was getting better and better, because of the buzz and even though I didn't notice any new features, as you say.

But as with most things in life, we go only realise we've gone too far when we've gone too far. Fortunately, with ARHD, we can go back to the best, version 6.8 ;).

I updated Faux123 to the latest version, adjusted the voltages, and it is working verrrrrry smoothly for me. I'm staying on ARHD 6.8.
[HTC Sensation] kushXmaster:
Seriously malybru, I wish I had more thanks to give you. You've just been dominating the help in this thread. And I don't see very many "thanks" on your post. Just wanted to show some appreciation for the hard work you put in around here! Without your help this thread might get lost ;)

Keep up the solid work, I know a lot of people appreciate it even if they don't hit the thanks button.

Hopefully no one takes that the wrong way and thinks I'm trying to be mean because they don't use the thanks button very much lol.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Helping each other is always appreciated. What is ALSO appreciated is when someone repeats a link to an upload someone else gave, they provide a link to the original posting, or at least a credit to the person who originally provided it, rather than just reposting it as their own work (sometime referred to as plagiarism).

In this case he did the search you could easily have done, then he copied the link I went to the effort to provide, you thank him and he doesn't bother to point out it was someone else's effort. That way of operating tends to deter others from providing help in the future.
[HTC Sensation] pwoita:
Put 6.8 back on (and I'm lovin it!) and with Faux the resting temp is 15°C

Any idea why stock and sebastion kernels were never under 30°C even when unused for all night but Faux is so drastically different?
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
An active CPU/GPU is what generates the heat, so it'll depend upon the governors and how quickly they idle and/or disable a CPU. Some governors are quick to raise the frequency and take a long time to drop it, others ramp down more quickly, or do it in a couple of phases. The secondary frequency a kernel uses (or the one you may have set in the Aroma installer) will also determine how warm it gets, higher being hotter.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I am not quite sure what to make of your post.

Someone needed a link and I gave it.I did not take credit for that link.

Are you " danbunbury"?

If so ,how is anyone supposed to know that?

If not,why are you worried about who gives credit to who?

I give links and threads to hundreds of people who ask for help.

Am I supposed to give accreditation every time I do this?

People use the links that I have given all the time.

Am I supposed to take umbrage every time this happens?

If people need help,I give it, if I can.

I do not ask for thanks,nor do I expect it.

I help people because I want to.

There are no ulterior motives to my actions.

That is the spirit of XDA.

:)
[HTC Sensation] pwoita:
This is way over my head (except the ramping up/down bit)

I think Faux is meant to ramp down (and possibly up) faster if I recall correctly, so possibly that.

But can I assume that more heat = more power per unit of time = more battery used?

And why would you set your phone to head up more?
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
You did not take credit, but neither do you give credit, and you took the credit indirectly.

I am, but that is irrelevant. If you want to help people and give credit where due, then post a link to the post rather than copying the content and posting it as your own.

If you are passing on the work that someone else has done, or effort someone else has made, it is only right and considerate if you give credit. As I said, the easiest way to do that is to link to the original post.

That's up to you. But if you expend effort to help others, it's nice to see it appreciated, so I would hope people credit you where due. Similarly, others' work cannot be appreciated if you take the credit yourself (or fail to give it, which is effectly the same).

Mostly correct, but the "spirit of XDA" is also one of giving appreciation to the ones who come up with solutions. That's why the "thanks" button is there: because (most) people on XDA like to say thanks, and most people on XDA appreciate receiving thanks.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Uploading 7.3 now, hopefully weird issues are gone for good! :)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Also first post is a little bit re-designed :)
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Indeed, more CPU activity -> both more battery used and more heat.

Many kernels, including Faux's, have the ability to choose a so-called "governor", which, in essence, determines how fast the CPU increases its frequency to do work, how fast it decreases it when idle, when and how quickly a second CPU is turned off or on, etc. etc. Different ways of doing this affect how quickly your phone responds, but also how much battery is used. When the CPU goes up quickly, it means it is much more responsive (reacts more quickly) than if it goes up slowly.

Here's an article on the various governors in various Android ROMs: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2017715

The default in Faux's kernel is "intellidemand", which is quite effective at giving a responsive phone, with a reasonably good battery life.

You can change the governor using a tool like No Frills CPU Control.

[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
It's kinda funny that you should be needing/wanting Locations. That app is not part of the Tmous 4g stock rom, which is the rom to which I first became accustomed. I soon discovered that the mere presence of Locations interfered with a couple of my apps (Choice Dialer and Tasker). I had to get rid of it. Uninstalling Locations wasn't straight forward either; I had to use TB to do it. After it was gone I could configure all my apps the way I wanted.

I'm finding that there are several minor but slightly annoying differences between the stock Tmous version and the base upon which ARHD is built. Nothing that can't be worked around so far.

As someone else pointed out earlier, your Locations app is part of the ARHD rom.

Dude you really should keep up with the forum posts.

'H' and '4G' are interchangeable.

The base for this ROM is a EURO base and they don't have '4G' there. Because they try no to lie to their customers like the US market has not problems doing.
