Boot into 4ext recovery, click 'Back up and Restore'--->Backup. It will ask you for confirmation. Just say yes and make sure you have min 3 to 4gb space on Sd.

But most importantly only consider backup when you have a stable and almost bug free rom state. Best after after a fresh install with relianle kernel and mods only and desired apps installed and configured

Thanks

Just a compilment

Was looking for a way to find a better ROM that is stable and just WOW.

Mike1986, thanks for all your work.

I have been following you silently this last year for your work for the lovely HTC SensationXE.

Good stuff man, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] deboopi2:
Good stuff, I've been using it now from the earliest 6.x.x release and I'm very happy with it.

But I just upgraded from 6.6.7 to 6.7.2 and after installing the rom base 3.33, doing a superwipe and installing 6.7.2 I did not see the HQ camera as one of the options in the installation process. Is this gone and do I have to install it myself or is something else going wrong?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

There is no HQ camera for the 3.33 firmware as yet.

[HTC Sensation] zhelev81:
i updated the 3.33 firmware and still laging ,anybody will help me ?

Hi,

You should try one of the faux kernels.

Look HERE

[HTC Sensation] VekiCRO:
Bricked kernel is not default kernel in this ROM,default kernel is stock HTC kernel.

And i think that Bricked kernel isnt even an option,options are Stock,Faux and Sebastian.

Well, I have tried 5 ROMs till now, not one worked except ARHD, so I guess, Thanks. ;)

I need to explore this ROM, then feedbacks. :)

Download from Google Play not working for some apps. Shows "DF-BPA-09" error. I think I saw the solution somewhere, but can anyone paste the link here to rescue me from searching it? ;) Is it because of the new Android ID of the phone?

Thanks to mike and all ARHD community :)

Hi guys! this is my post #2000 and i want to make it as an oportunity to give thanks to mike, Kohr-Ah, malybru, mf2112, unixslayer, PaulGiz, Hawke84 and all ARHD sensation community. I've learnt a lot of things here and i got my recognized contributor badge thanks to this thread.

I'll give my sensation to my girlfriend because i've bought a gnex and is coming on wednesday :D so i'll be around and try to keep up with this thread but not so often because it isn't my main device anymore. However, first thing i'll do to my brand new phone is flash ARHD and faux kernel :P so you can find me there. My guide thread will be updated when necessary same as second post.

Thanks again to you all for being an awesome community.

Take care :)

I do however have the ICS OTA file in my G'drive...... is there any way I can flash that over ARHD?

Is there a difference or benefit to flashing the T-Mobile version since i have the sensation 4g as opposed to the arhd 6.7.2?

I've flashed all 3 and really don't notice anything different performance-wise
[HTC Sensation] Djmix82:
Question is, do you want to tether? T-Mobile version does not include it.
[HTC Sensation] -SourceCode-:
Have you tried reverting to a Gingerbread ROM + appropriate Kernel/Firmware? Might be worth the effort before you send your phone off to repairs.

I strongly believe the Front Camera issue is related to the new ICS Kernel and/or Firmware.

Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] mwl1119:
I'd try it if I could find the correct firmware.
[HTC Sensation] d73616:
But if it is related to new kernel/firmware, there should be lots of users feedback.

Instead, mwl1119 is the only one reporting such rare issue.

At least my Front Face Camera is working fine in both 3.32 and 3.33 base.
[HTC Sensation] mwl1119:
Exactly.

At this point I am 99.9% sure it is hardware related. In fact, last night I was experimenting with CM9 ( just seeing if it was the mirror app within sense and it still did not work.... but if I turned on the front facing camera and tapped on it really hard the the screen turned yellowish orange (probably due to the color of my walls) meaning the camera attempted to come back on....
[HTC Sensation] -SourceCode-:
For Gingerbread I think its Firmware 1.17.

The following thread has a list of firmwares - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

Yeah... no luck. Could not get past all the force closes to try it.

Hello since a month, my phone is shuting down during phone conversation or even while in standby. I'm using 6.5.0 version of this ROM.

I already charged my phone during a whole night and wiped my bat stats but it have not changed a thing.

Any lead on this ? Should i try to reinstall the ROM ?

Is my bat dead ? How coudl i test the bat ?

Any help on installing the radio?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you have installed the latest firmware,then,there is no need to install the radio.

The radio in contained in the firmware update.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Flashben:
Thx, that could explains why Ur can't install as it was already the latest radio.... Guess I have to refresh the firmware again...
[HTC Sensation] SsBloodY:
HI could someone tell me what are the restrictions after installing this script. I am looking ti achieve maximum AOSP feel and removing all HTC/Sense stuff. I know there is CM9 and etc. but there isn't anything like ARHD, so this is the ROM I will be using. Could you recommend me a way to achieve best AOSP feel and clean from bloatware.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Not sure about the restrictions,because I have never tried it.

But as it suggests,make a nandroid and give it a go.

You might also consider ROM CLEANER as another way of stripping down a ROM.

[HTC Sensation] zedrix53:
can i install sonyxload in arhd 6.7.2?
[HTC Sensation] jyo1:
faux kernel 009b1 for Sensation available here

:)
[HTC Sensation] d73616:
I haven't tried it too. But from the script, it seems that the restrictions are mainly referred to HTC apps/widgets. For example, you cannot use the mail/bookmark widgets (with preview) because they work with rosie only. In fact, even the rosie launcher will be replaced by go launcher. But I think, apex launcher and nova launcher may be the UI you are looking for.

As malybru said, create a nandroid backup and try the script yourself. :D
[HTC Sensation] nilanjan.gm:
I am still getting this market error, but the ROM is superb. Very fast, till now.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get the latest update but the radio keeps giving the wrong MD5 when I check it. I've just noticed that the firmware says it contains the radio too so do I still NEED to do the separate Radio?

Sorry for being a bit n00b but it's been a while since I updated and i seem to have baby-brain after our recent little girl!!

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi

No need to flash radio, if you update the firmware.

Radio is contained within the firmware update.

Hi! Malybru is right, you don't need to flash the radio because it is contained in the firmware update but, just for flash sake try to check the md5 of the radio.img file inside the zip rather than the whole package and see if they match

Quick update on my front camera issue.

It was a 100% hardware issue. Key word is was...

A few good whacks on the desk followed by some intentional drops on the floor and it is good as new..

Lol :D just like the old CRT tv's, a good whack did the trick aye :D

Sent from my HTC Sensation with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] mwl1119:
Exactly.

But it is not all good. It still stops working and I have to tap it on something to get working again.

So now I am debating between living with it (I rarely use the front cam but if its there I want it working), sending it off to HTC and seeing what it cost for repairs since I can not find any way to restore it to stock, or just opening it up myself and seeing if it is just a wire loose or something simple like that.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
If you open it you will definitely void your warrenty, there will be no wires as I am aware just circuitry and contacts to camera.

I have sent my ph back for repair via warranty before and I accidently bricked my phone, the unbricking procedure didn't work for me so just returned it in that way. All was covered by warranty and the mainboard got replaced. Defective ESN.

[HTC Sensation] pvella:
Have you tried to a full wipe or factory reset before you install the ROM. You need to do this when switching ROMs.

Also try doing the install without a new sdcard or formatted sdcard. Some things can get moved there that could affect the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] d73616:
Better don't try to open it. Talk to HTC nicely, and they may help even if it is not stock rom (worst case is that all data will be wiped). But if it has been opened (or if there is any physical damage), they have every reason not to repair it for free.
[HTC Sensation] nealhowden:
Has there been any update regarding the reboot issue? It's a massive pain in the bum! I've only just found out its the app after doing a superwipe and starting a fresh :silly:

If anyone still need the file, here is previous version of Google Maps v6.9.0.

The phone is cleaned no extra apps running ,no ram issues , using nofrills optimization on demand.

please someone more expirienced to help me fix this isue .

I really hope to solve this as fast as possible because i cant use the phone .
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Backup your card fully in a folder on your PC.

Use a card reader.

Then,format card to FAT 32 on the PC.

Then, restore what you want to use(pictures,music,backups,documents etc.)

Replace the card in the phone.

Android will replace the files it needs.

Et voila.

:)
[HTC Sensation] nilanjan.gm:
Thanks pal, I'll do that.
[HTC Sensation] d73616:
Nobody can give you an answer, probably because no one can think of any issue based on what you've provided.

The only information we can find in your screenshots is that you are using ARHD 6.7.2. Nothing more.

You said the phone is cleaned, so probably not related to wiping.

You said no extra apps running, but there is a KAV (why it is not an extra app !?) installed.

You said no ram issue, we have no idea what you did to confirm this.

If the phone is lagging and slow, when does it happen ? All the time, or running a specific app ?

Have you try some benchmark tools, to see (and let us know) how "slow" it is ?

Or perhaps, it is the touchscreen not responding correctly ?

Please understand that many experienced users are willing to help, but first you will need to provide more information related to the problem. "slow" is simply a feeling, that may be caused by so many factors. It is certain that no one can *guess* what's wrong with your phone.
[HTC Sensation] Sam4u:
hi everyone,

First of all - many thanks to all of you for all your hard work and endless efforts to bring to us this wonderful ROM and all the goodies.

I am using ARHD on my Sensation 4G (using XE variant of the rom) for a while now and I'd say I like it a lot. Lately though I am running into few issues, and I am guessing they are not directly ROM related but I am hoping somebody here might be able to help me.

1st is the HTC Friend-stream widged. Facebook app connects just fine to Facebook, but for some reason my HTC widged cannot. not a big deal , since I don't use Facebook that often on phone, but bigger issue for me it that many of my contacts have Facebook pictures, and without FB these pictures don't show. (I believe that started since I last updated FB app but I might be wrong) Any suggestion how to fix that?

2nd - bigest issue for me for a while now. I am currently near LA (Pomona to be more precise) and for some reason my data speed is really terrible . few days back I compared with my sis phone - old TMob stock android (G2 model I think) phone and her 3G on her phone was way faster than on my sensation 4G. I am guessing (and I might be wrong) this is radio related issue. If anyone have suggestions what radio will work around here best, please share. Link to the file will be greatly appreciated.

thank you all
[HTC Sensation] zhelev81:
if you check my posts back you will see that i provided information .... but thanx for your reply ...

what tools you want me to run sir ?

it is slow when i try to run any app or when i try to dial a number or anything with the menus .lags like hell ..

what else to say i showed the karnel version the rom version ,no problems with the screen ,just slow responding ,using ram cleaner to kill apps and free ram .

tell me what tools to run and show you the output and i will do it ,

thank you
[HTC Sensation] alanapone:
Cheers guys.

Will flash it now.

I also see that their is an issue with Google maps. Mine constantly F/C's and re-boots the phone, I'll try using the previous version to rectify it.

I also use aLapRecorder, a track recording app, when I run it, it freezes, I'm wondering is their an issue with the app or trying to run the app on this ROM. Is their an easy way to check? My upgrade is due soon so I could even flash an OE ROM if it will fix it? Any ideas?

Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] d73616:
Ok. Now understand a bit more, and no need to run any benchmark tool.

Before you install ARHD 6.7.2 XE, which rom (and version) you are using ?

Have you upgrade firmware to 3.33 right before flashing 6.7.2 ?

By the way, after this problem is solved, it is recommended not to use any app auto-killer. An app killer is only useful when any specific app is not responding and need to be killed manually. Even if an excluded list is configured, using an auto-killer increases overhead and drains battery faster, with an effect to *show* you some memory is released.
[HTC Sensation] zhelev81:
i sued : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671547&highlight=viper+rom 1.1.0

yes i did upgraded to 3.33

i hope we can solve this ,but i dont have idea what can be slowing it down ,i just removed kaspersky as you mentioned as i was thinking it is laging the phone ,but is not that

bad luck again
[HTC Sensation] d73616:
I don't think it is Kaspersky as well. As I know, it does not scan everything at all.

I think you should try to upgrade the 3.33 firmware again, it seems that you are still using 3.32 (assumed that you didn't modify /system/build.prop). Or perhaps you used the wrong file and therefore installation was not completed. And according to Mike, the phone must be upgraded to 3.33 before flashing ARHD 6.7.x. So, after upgrading, you will need to flash ARHD again.

Hope it helps.
[HTC Sensation] zhelev81:

If your phone is S-OFF, it is probably because CID is not in the list.

ok let me try the other firmware and i will get back to you ,tnx for doing this for me
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

When applying 3.33,it does not show up on the phone.

The way to check is:

Settings>about phone>software information>more>baseband version

If you are on the latest radio,then,you have 3.33

argh!

Its all going wrong!

Just upgraded to 6.7.2 as my phone was locking up, but it has not cured the Facebook problem.

I keep getting Facebook Authorisation Failures.

Yesterday I did a full super wipe, pg58 IMG flash, 6.7.2.0 flash, upgraded the default fb app, re moved HTC sense from the fb website approved all list, and setuo the phone again.

Today, it failed again. I use fb on the phone, a Xoom tablet with jellybean, and my pc. Any clues why this is happening on the phone?
[HTC Sensation] d73616:
Wait, have you flash ARHD 6.7.2 again after that ?

And is it the one downloaded from this thread ?
[HTC Sensation] zhelev81:
why do I need to flash the 6.7.2 if the firmware is still the 3.32 mate ?

i have problem with the firmware not flashing ,overwriting the 3.32 but never updating to 3.33

what to do ?
[HTC Sensation] d73616:
I feel weird too.

Baseband is correct but Build is 3.32, is it possible (assumed that he didn't change it intentionally) ?
[HTC Sensation] zhelev81:
I am about to brake this crappy phone :p if I don't fix it 2night

what that suppose to mean : (assumed that he didn't change it intentionally) ????
[HTC Sensation] d73616:
If you install 6.7.2 rom (downloaded from this thread) after flashing 3.33 firmware, you should see 3.33 in build number instead.

But if you download the rom from somewhere else, or it is modified, then it maybe another story.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You have the 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M radio,which is the latest.

The 3.32 you see in settings is just a build.prop entry.

Change it if you want.
