I'll send him a msg sometime and see if I could work with him on optimizations.

Hey, I know I've been saying it is fine to keep your data and I'm pretty sure it is but I just did a fresh install and it is pretty fast. Sooo for best results I'd say do a fresh install. 1.03 is being uploaded later tonight and it's pretty much the current rom except with the stock kernel since there are problems that occur for some users with the UNITY kernel. I might look at the leedroid kernel, but for now it stays stock.
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
Awesome let us know you plus his optimization may run for best rom for any tmo us phone holder
[HTC Sensation] bskim23:
Looking forward to it :)
[HTC Sensation] medoo313:
Nice. Now we have a T-mobiler DEV :)

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] nattyd:
Awesome

Best stock rom. Think i have found my rom. If its not too much trouble. could u please remove tmobile tv and the nova game. they are both trial versions anyway. And also the Listen app. Thank u in advance.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I will definitely remove the Listen app + Nova. I'm going to leave the T-Mobile TV because there are some TMOUS users who actually pay for the service. To delete any apps you don't want, remove them from system/apps either from the downloaded zip itself (Before you flash) or using a file explorer like Root Explorer.

But for anyone who is using the latest version, do you feel any slowdown compared to the old kernels? I feel like the stock kernel is great as is at the moment since the UNITY kernel had bugs that needed to be addressed. I definitely do want to use a custom kernel in the future, but as of right now the stock kernel is a solid choice.
[HTC Sensation] johnp888:
My experience has been the stock kernel is smoother. Unity was kind of laggy with adw launcher and browser navigation, and etc. Is there a difference between v1.02 with stock kernel and v1.03? Thanks for all your work.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Thanks for the feedback. I've felt the same way about the stock kernel as well. There's almost no difference between 1.02 and 1.03 besides the stock kernel being implemented and a clean up (I removed the virtuous oc startup init.d file + virtuous oc value folder + oc daemon). I did add one more UI tweak in the 1.03 build.prop but I'll attach it to this post so you can just overwrite it instead of flashing a whole rom for one change. One thing I noticed is I used a different battery icon that doesn't show 100% when it is full, but rather a solid filled battery. I guess I'm just used to that 100% lol so I'll put it back later.

I probably won't release another version until I get at least a few changes to do but if it is things like removing apps or a simple battery icon/4G icon I'll just attach the CWM files to flash it. Speaking of which, I'll be releasing CWM files from now on to update instead of updating the whole ROM since I rebuilt it now.

EDIT: Latest build.prop HERE
[HTC Sensation] instechgainza:
Thanks for the works!!
[HTC Sensation] Googa:
Has anyone tried this with UNITY v5 ?
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
It'll work, however even mdj himself pulled the kernel and reverted back to the stock kernel on his virtuous rom, stating that the kernel was unstable at the moment.
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
Could you possibly put up a .zip that can restore the stock screen animations? not a fan of the CRT animation :) also seems to slow down the weather lockscreen animations (they get juddery now)

Thanks, great work!
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
This should be the stock one attached. Push to system/framework

Enjoy!

EDIT: Check next page for reupload.
[HTC Sensation] Googa:
After some back & forth, this is now my daily driver ROM! I'm using it with Launcher Pro, and all the Sense stuff frozen/uninstalled. Quick, clean, perfect. Thanks a lot!
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
Can you double-check this? The services.jar you posted is almost empty.. and the phone just hangs at the splash screen and gets really hot, never boots up.

Luckily I backed it up before pushing this one.. phone boots up okay with that put back in.

Would love the stock no-animation no-battery-percentage one. :)
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Hmm.. I pulled that from the stock rom. I'll reupload it tonight along with the stock battery for you.

[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
Hi MarlinFF I want to tell you "GOOD WORK" on the ROM dev'n. You seem to be on your way.

However i have been watching your thread for 3 days b4 i decided to flash. I flashed v3 today and I loved the screen shot implementation. I don't do OC and kernell tweaking on any of my ROM's I use at anytime as I find it useless.

Your ROM was smooth as butter yet stuttery and slow to response majority of the time. Mostly on draggin the notification bar down I had slowness on selecting an application as it took longer than normal to handle the touch response. I have been on XDA for a couple years so I am no newbie and I wiped and followed all protocol.

Market apps did not reinstall themselves either. setup worked fine on sync accounts.

I ended up going back to my stock nandroid backup and I think I'll just stay there. I like the phone as is.

However I did want to give you my slight input and I wish you much success in the future. This is no easy task and you hit a homerun. I think the lag issues are not your fault though.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Thanks!

That's odd the market apps did not install for you. I went ahead and did a fresh reinstall 2 days ago and everything installed perfect. I didn't touch anything in regards to that so there shouldn't be any changes from what the Stock Setup does. It was definitely stuttering and laggy for the first few hours even after a full install (You have to let it settle sometimes) but now on my 3rd day it is smooth and I have no issues whatsoever. Try doing a full new install wiping everything, and letting it settle in! I never have any slowdowns, whether on start, during use, or waking up.
[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
Since this is based on stock rom, any reason I can't flash it over the stock rom without wiping?

[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Probably not but best titanium backup first in case.

Sent from my Leedroid Sensational Htc Sensation!
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Here you go!

framework-res.apk is for the stock battery

services.jar for the stock animations

Both should replace the files in system/framework

Download HERE
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
Thanks! Will flash in the morning.. really appreciate your effort! :)
[HTC Sensation] TheMach:
Anyone else having issues with Superuser crashing upon startup? I'm running 1.03, did a clean install, but every time I try to open superuser it crashes. Because of this I have some root-required apps that won't work.

Update: I went ahead and installed "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip", cleared superuser data and now all is well. Just in case anyone else runs into problems using the newer version of SU.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Sometimes you have to clear the data of the superuser app. Here is the latest version if you want to update it now that it won't force close.

Have fun!
[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
Can someone or has anybody posted a video of this rom in action? I can't decide whether I should soff and root to flash this because I'm running LauncherPro on stock and it seems to all be pretty smooth and stable. Trying to figure out if this rom is any faster or the benefits really are in day to day.

Sent from my thumbs to your eyes using a Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] KrisHilbun:
Looks like an amzing rom, nice work cant wait to try
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Its is faster and more important, everything works. I use to run launcher pro with it but Go launcher is also blazing fast on it. Just freeze all sense stuff in TB and you'll be good to go.
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
Great job on this, this should definitely hold me over until CM comes our way. No disrespect, this is by far a lot smoother then stock, I am just not a huge fan of Sense.

With that said... I took your rom and cleaned it up a bit for my liking... removing 60+ apks in the process. Gone are Rosie, Weather, Stocks, Peep, Facebook for HTC, T-mo bloat, Hub, security junk, Slacker, HTC Music (love Google music), HTC album and HTC's fugly calculator.

Using Launcher Pro ATM, beautiful weather, market versions of Twitter and Facebook stock 3D gallery.

Next step: remove HTC dialer and contacts and use AOSP.

Once again, huge thanks for providing such an improvement over stock, keep it up.
[HTC Sensation] IMPEREAL:
Love this ROM!!!!! 1 question tho is there any way to add teeter back in??? Maybe in a later release??? Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
Pull it out of any stock rom and install as usual.
[HTC Sensation] IMPEREAL:
Tried that it fails to install every time.
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
It might be a bad download. Redownload and flash.
[HTC Sensation] IMPEREAL:
Edit. I found some stock ones that install but they must be from different older phones because they are the wrong size(resolution). Does anyone have a stock sensation apk?????
[HTC Sensation] IMPEREAL:
I've tried everything I know how to do to get teeter back on my phone does anyone have the stock completely stock teeter??? every rom has been deodexed and they will not install or they install and they are the wrong size
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198437

Try that. If it doesn't work I'll pull the deodexed apk for you.
[HTC Sensation] IMPEREAL:
tried to install it says application not installed. I am not good with the ADB stuff so I can only install like any other APK. I had an update.zip that would install it but it wont work with the sensation. if the deodexed you think will install like any other APK that would be amazing. or whatever you can do would help. thanks so much.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
You're not supposed to install it. Copy the APK to system/apps using either ADB or Root Explorer (Or any other file manager that has access to root) than set the permissions alike to the other apks in the folder than do a reboot.
[HTC Sensation] IMPEREAL:
Figured it out thanks so much.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Np! Glad you got it working.

I think I may have found a 4G icon w/ QuickSettings. Will upload a flashable zip whenever I get it working completely.
[HTC Sensation] Googa:
Is there any reason why you didn't include the extended power menu? I like the option to reboot into recovery from there.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I'll include a CWM pretty soon for a "v1.0.4" update I guess. It'll have a QuickSettings with the 4G icon + Advanced Power Menu
[HTC Sensation] cyberandroid:
Marlin, does your rom include the Wi-Fi calling app??? TIA.
[HTC Sensation] Flucero28:
Yes it has Wi-Fi calling.
[HTC Sensation] GideonX:
Like all TMOUS based roms, it does.

[HTC Sensation] moh0:
OH SNAP :O
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
unfortunately, the phone hangs again with these files too.. after the HTC quietly brilliant splash screen, the screen goes blank and the phone is unresponsive.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Those are the stock files for sure because I pulled them out. Maybe the permissions aren't be set correctly? Also do you clear the cache and dalvik cache when doing it? If all fails, put those two in the main rom zip and than reflash it.
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
Okay, will give that a try. Thanks!

btw, I do seem to have excessive battery drain vs. stock... I charged to 100% and then wiped battery stats, but it didn't seem to help. Do you think it's just a matter of some more re-calibration?
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I think so. Give it a bit more time. I actually was trying out a few roms here and there and then finally went back to my own. The battery was TERRIBLE the first time I used it which was funny because when I was making the rom it retained the stock battery drain. After calibration and a few drains and recharges it came back to stock shape.
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
Sounds good, will give it a try.. getting 10-15% drain per hour right now while sitting on my desk :eek: , although the battery graph screen shows that the phone is asleep.

phone refusing to boot with those stock files btw, even when flashed thru a .zip and wiping cache+dalvik cache... really weird.
[HTC Sensation] Googa:
Cool! Will be a happy day!
[HTC Sensation] :
OTA Pyramid TMOUS 1.45.531.1 1.29.531.2

So I received this update, It tried inslalling but it came back with the exclamation + triangle error, Pull the battery out and it works fine. Will you update to this new release?? what happens with root if It installs? thank you, the rom is great!
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Hey,

I see that the update is out as well. Root should work still (If anything just re-do revolutionary because it supports that latest HBOOT they use). I'll be working on it pretty soon.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Uploading v1.1 pretty soon :)

Changelog updated. I was going to include the UNITY kernel which has been running greatly for me, however if the virtuous team put stock back on their own rom I think I should for mine as well.

EDIT: Ran into a few bugs and it's getting really late. Got work in a few hours. Will work on it this weekend.
[HTC Sensation] jyabor91:
does this have the cool MY4G camera in it?
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
Thanks for the update, MarlinFF. Looking forward to upgrading to the 2.3.4 build!

Also, for what it's worth I have tried out a bunch of different builds of the UNITY kernel, and stock has always been just fine for me. I'm not a overclocking diehard, though.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Update for those who even use my rom anymore:

So far so good. Everything works and it is very smooth. Will have all the good stuff (Advanced Power Menu, QuickSetttings w/ 4G symbol, CRT animations) working! The stock kernel w/ governor should be better on the battery. One last test to make sure everything is perfect and than it'll be uploaded.
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
Looking forward to it hopefully tonight.
[HTC Sensation] krat0s123:
+1.. Can't wait for this ROM..
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Sounds excellent to take for a spin :)
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Alright guys:

I'm really OCD about having everything 100% right and that's why I haven't uploaded it yet. There's only one issue and that is the Task manager reports a negative value for some reason. I'm going to upload it for people who don't care about that for now but just know I'll be redoing it and might have a new version up by tomorrow. Upload ETA is about 15 more minutes

EDIT: Links up
[HTC Sensation] RANDYRKELLY:
Thanks just finished my download. thanks
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Good news!

Rebuilt the whole rom back from start, applied OTA patch, than installed all the tweaks + stock kernel. Everything is working now including the Total Memory :)

Enjoy guys! If someone wants to be nice enough they can buy me a coffee for work in a few hours :P

Uploading v1.1.1 right now which should work really great. Many thanks to leedroid for his governor script
[HTC Sensation] adam1890:
waiting on it....
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Link is up! Have fun! A wipe is recommended for this.
[HTC Sensation] adam1890:
download thank you
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
Downloading now! Eager to try this out.....
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Please give feedback on the ROM! I'd like to hear what you guys think of the rom.
[HTC Sensation] Six6Sicks:
Yes OP, does it?
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
If you're looking for the panorama effect, yeah it has it.

I pulled the 1.1.1 link for now. I'm reuploading it with a fix for superuser which glitched for some reason. It'll be up in a bit again.

Anyone who already downloaded it can just flash the attached superuser binary through CWM.

If you already had 1.1.1 you can download the new one and simply flash it over. No data removal needed.
[HTC Sensation] Six6Sicks:
No, I'm asking if the HTCCamera.apk is from the MyTouch4g Slide, or is it just a modified Sensation HTCCamera.apk?
[HTC Sensation] medoo313:
Keep them updates coming :) Flashing now.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I fixed the SU/Busybox. It was due to a messed up updater-script that somehow slipped in there. Thus, I pulled the 1.1.1 download for now. 1.1.2 will be up in about 4 hours when I wake up. Sorry for the terrible update schedule guys. Next time I'll just test it fully before I send em out.

Time to nap.. for work in a few hours.

Modified
[HTC Sensation] medoo313:
Is 1.1.2 Link is Down?
[HTC Sensation] abrown0809:
Oh man. It looks down. Thanks for making a tmous Rom btw. There are all these great roms but they are for eu. I dowbladed a rom the other day that was great but whenver I would search anything in Google, I would get .uk links. I can't wait to try out the rom
[HTC Sensation] krat0s123:
Anyone here who has the 1.1.1 or the old link that the chef had? Just wanna try it out.. Thanks in advance..
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
im using a eu rom when i search google i dont get uk links. The problem is when you set up your phone for the first time at the end when you see google wants to turn on network locations you have to click yes, thats on any rom. This way when you search it uses your location i live in philly so all my search prefrences is in philly or the usa period.
[HTC Sensation] teshxx:
Hey,

Where did you get the "Official HTC T-Mobile USA RUU 1.45.531.1" ?? As long as I know it hasn't been released yet. 1.45.531.1 was just an OTA. Latest RUU still stands at 1.29.531.2. If you do have the RUU for 1.45 I would appreciate if you could post a link.

Thanx

EDIT: Thanx for changing the post to "Official HTC T-Mobile USA 1.45.531.1" :P
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I probably have one of the plainest looking rom pages :P I just edit it quickly. Sry for the misinformation.

For those who are waiting for the ROM: I pulled it because the updater-script was invalid making it so that superuser+busybox did not work correctly. I'll fix it and upload it when I get out of work. Well.. next time I'm for sure not even mentioning releases before they are uploaded. Every time I do there seems to be problems I need to fix. :o
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
Thanks for your hard work. I will definitely be installing this.

Can we get a kernel to unlock more touch points?
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
How many would you like. This phone registers 4...

BANG! from my shooter...
[HTC EVO 3D] Joey121215:
At least five. . . The screen and Android both support way more than four. . . the iPod has been able to support five for years now
[HTC EVO 3D] Joey_UFC:
can someone explain to me by what you mean by Multitouch points?
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
The screen will recognize more than one finger on the screen at a time. Like when you pinch to zoom, the screen recognizes you have two fingers on the screen at one time. Some programs take advantage of even more such as SOLO. My question is, why would you need more than 4? What app takes advantage of more than 4?
[HTC EVO 3D] Joey_UFC:
oh ok thats what i thought it was but other then 2 fingers, what do you need 3 ,4 or even 5 multitouch points? Who does that?
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Can you explain what you could possibly be doing that would require more than 4 touchpoints on the screen at one time? Or do you want it "just because"?
[HTC EVO 3D] Joey121215:
Fruit ninja for one is an app that would be nice to use five on, and some multiplayer games. Why do people really need their phones OCed to 2.0 GHz, it's not a necessity, it's just nice to have in case you ever need it. I thought one of the points for these forums was to push are phones to the max of their capabilities.

Can someone make a kernel that supports 20 touch points? I want to use all my toes also.

i use V11B as my base version,can anyone help me?:)
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Did you put in into the folder system/framework with the phone turned on with some file explorer, right? Not with a flashable zip from recovery.

You just won a reflashing using LG software tools ;)
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
yes,i put it by ROOT EXPOLRER with right permissions
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Yes, but if you don't do it flashing from recovery, you get bootloop.

You can flash it now with flashable zip from recovery (did you have NOVA rom so you can boot directly into recovery?) connecting the sdcard to the computer and pasting a flashable zip for framework.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Azzo94:
I tried to modify the framework-res.apk file and then i putted it in the right place but i've briked the phone.

My PC can't read the phone (NO LG software recovery), NO ADB (ex reboot recovery), No hard reset.. there's not a configuration to put it in hard reset.

i've sended it to LG Assistance.. i wish that they can format and recovery the phone.

Sorry for English!
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
bad luck.....
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
but on other phone,i do it without problem..i'll try your suggestion:)
