[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibz41:
There is a version of ComRom which comes with OTB 1.5. OTB 1.6 is latest vesion but in not packaged with ComRom.

Yes you can flash other kernels after flashing rom/kernel package but if the new kernel is not voodoo make sure you disable the lagfix first. Also, if you use a non voodoo kernel do not enable the lagfix from CWM unless you flash a voodoo kernel again.

Lastly, OTB allows for voltage and clock adjustments. PBJ kernels are underclocked but I dont believe they are adjustable

Sorry chopper not trying to be rude by answering this question addressed to you...

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibz41:
Chopper you seem to be very knowledgable and informed concerning our phone. I have one more question I hope you can answer for me. Are there any advantages to using a non voodoo kernel instead of voodoo kernel with lagfix disabled?

Thank you I appreciate your help. I know a decent amount from post about the general rules for flashing/odin/heimdall/adb/voodoo but most threads on forums do not go into enough detail for the reader to know their limits when experimenting.

Thanks again

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
Someone may come by and add to this or offer their own view and tell me that I'm a douche. But Ext4 (voodoo) does come with a small hit to the battery but offering up faster read write speeds and the other changes that may have been added i.e. bln, sound, uv, oc. Now yes you can use a uv'd voodoo kernel with a "disable lagfix" file in place so that your file system with be rfs (extending battery) but marginally slowing some operations down. Since the new voodoo control plus allows for the sound module to be loaded on any kernel on the fly, I find myself at the moment running comm rom 2.1 with an old EB01 kernel in rfs. And I have been real pleased with my battery over the last 3 days since using the "vintage kernel" in rfs, plus also having voodoo sound is a plus. I really missed how the buttons used to light up with the screen, but ever since we've had mesmerize source kernels the buttons need to be touched to light them up when waking the device. You just need to find your own kernel/rom combo for your needs. But I have never been in any race to have the highest quad score, I just like my device to work with the best battery and stability.

good day.

Hi. Well, I've used CM7 and I liked it a lot. But the speaker is broken now, and now I have to bring it to RMA. I was using my default 2.2.1 sbf (Personal AR 2.2.1) with CM7, so, I just tryied to flash it again. Ok, the RSD stays in "Please power the phone manually", but the phone keeps restarting the boot animation (the blur one, not the M).

So, I've tryied with SBF 3.4.2-177-005 NORDIC (the one used in CM7), and now Im going to try with JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002.

But it's strange to me, because, I've used the NORDIC one previously to test CM7. (after all, CM7 worked flawesly in the Personal 2.2.1, so I switched back to that).

So, what can I do?

RSD keeps recognizing it ok, and I can access to the stock android recovery (not the clockwork).
[Defy General] 57op:
Before flashing via rsd lite, turn on your device into recovery mode.

Shutdown it, by pulling out battery, press volume down and power button ( keep pressing volume down ). Wait some seconds and you'll enter into recovery.

Then, press both volume buttons and wipe data/factory reset.

Flash again your sbf!
[Defy General] cocus:
Yes, thanks! I totally forget that. Now I just need to wait the RMA.

[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
Theres an insane amount of discussion regarding the need for task killers on android 2.2+ since the newer versions of android have their own managing system for applications in the background. Most people are recommended advanced task killer before they leave their carriers store with their new phone.

My personal experience when using a task killer is it seems to speed up the phone a bit when used, makes my sensation home screen switching smoother etc. Without it, there seems to be a little lag after 15 minutes of decent use.

So whats the real deal ? Do they hurt your phone/battery life or improve it? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
There have been many threads regarding task killers. Not just for sensation but android phones. They are worthless.
[HTC Sensation] mobileusman:
The new phone manage memory pretty well but it doesn't hurt to keep a task killer on ur phone just to check once in a while what you have running. I dont have a task killer per say but I use the Go Launcher which in a tab displays all of the apps running, it gives me an option to lock the ones I wana keep running, so Ive check all of my everyday normal stuff, browser, phone, youtube facebook etc. and once in a blue moon I go and kill everything else by clicking one button.

Sense 3.0 stock gave me 80-100mb of free ram (running stock, normal everyday usage)

Go Launcher EX gives me 130-150mb free ram (running stock, normal usage)

Go Launcher tweeked settings and killing extra tasks gives me 190-250mb free ram

Now, that's a lot of free ram, saved cpu cycles and ultimately improved battery life. Thats the only real practical gain... battery life. i mean the phone powerful enough to run all of the tasks of a power user and then some so performance on my sensation is never an issue for me anyway. You load up crazy live wallpapers and 3D animations and such, yea sure it'll get sluggish but killing random tasks will improve the efficiency only by a small margin anyway.

Task killer is like a tune up, once in a while. Or u can just simply restart your phone like my GF does every once in a while.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
thanks man very helpful stuff
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
I never had a need for task killers with any of my Android phones!
[HTC Sensation] mobileusman:
NP, also in my opinion an efficient custom rom will do wonders for the Sensation... can't wait for the s-off update from HTC.
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
they are not worthless if used correctly
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
I use the stock task manager and watchdog. Helps my battery alot
[HTC Sensation] tsunami1609:
Confusion

I'd stay away from 3rd party task managers if possible. Especially on a phone running 2.3+. The ones given will most likely handle task killing in a more appropriate manner, instead of just bringing things to a complete halt, which can be detrimental for some apps.

There does seem to be a discrepancy between the two task managers on the sensation, though. Like posted above, with general usage and sense the HTC provided task manager shows about 80-100mb free. However, I had a habit of going into settings>applications>running services to see how much RAM was available (stock 2.3 way of task killing - habit I picked up from my Nexus S) and it normally lists it somewhere around 200mb free.

I'm not sure which is more accurate, but I'm betting on the longer method, since it's in the core of gingerbread. Plus, on every past phone I've had if it went below 80mb I would see some significant lag whereas this isn't the case on the sensation. My Nexus S on average had around 120-150mb free, and the sensation has 256mb more RAM. I know sense is a ram hog, but max I see it taking up is 150mb, so 200mb of total free space seems about right.
[HTC Sensation] wideasleep1:
I beta-test a LOT of apps, and when they hang or otherwise cannot be killed off, a task manager/killer does the job faster than thumbing through the menus to do it. :) I only use it judiciously, however..to resolve a specific app.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
This is correct. It's an often debated topic, but I've seen the benefits in battery life and data usage when using an app like Autostarts and wise use of a task killer. Till the Sensation is 100% rooted, Autostarts can only be used to a limited extent. But with full use of Autostarts, my use of a task killer is limited, though still worth having.

Here's a portion of a good discussion on the topic and posted by a recognized Android developer who knows the deal.
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
Yup. Autostarts is a must-have for anyone who wants a longer battery life.

and task killers are extremely useful once you have excluded all the appropriate apps. My mom is smartphone-illiterate, and sometimes she would open random apps by mistake. With a task killer she could end all those process with 1-click before her phone becomes more chaotic (and of course, I excluded all the appropriate apps to begin with)

Hello XDA.

I've tried to update my radio in CWM with install .zip thing, but it doesn't really work (i think, not sure how to test it). I've tried a lot of guides and they say "go to hboot menu -> bootloader -> recovery and a red triangle should be on the screen" but i only get the Alpharev Joker? Help please!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waterstof:
Go into recovery

Choose install zip from sd

Choose zip from sd

Confirm

Reboot

You can check your radio version under 'about phone' in the settings.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Are you s-off/have a custom hboot? If yes, make you do not have a hboot which partition size is smaller than 40 mb. Otherwise you cannot lfash radio via recovery, you have to do it via fastboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] do0b:
try this

or flash via fastboot with:

'fastboot flash radio radio.img'
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Large Hadron:
You can test by looking in the "about phone" menu and seeing whether your radio ("baseband") version has changed. But as others have said, if you've changed your hboot and shrunk your cache partition you must not try flashing a radio via recovery. But as long as you've not done that you should be OK, though you can use fastboot anyway.

Those guides you are looking at are seriously out of date! Anyone who rooted using unrevoked (i.e. since about August 2010) will have a custom recovery permanently installed, so will not see the red triangle (which is the original HTC recovery). Anyone who still has that should IMO replace it with a proper custom recovery, which being S-Off you can do using fastboot if you need to.

If you have a custom recovery installed you get into it by selecting recovery from the hboot menu, not bootloader.

Hello "fresh" users :) !

I got the phone 2 days ago.

On the second day I root it, flashed custom rom.

Then I found two weird things:

1- Is screen delay.

2-Screen OFF animation glitch (CRT).

I wipe everything I can, I did full restore, back up, nothing help !

I try almost all roms,nothing help. (Only my stock and Lite'ning Rom work good)

The problem was "Kernel" (deep sleeping)

To FIX this problems: I recommended Ninphetamine kernel.

The only reason that version 1.4 has no wake lag is that it doesn't sleep, so you will get huge standby drain.

Unfortunately the Evo 3D is also. You can try Voicemail Notifier (extorian) and see if that works. I posted a download in my forum.
