[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
Just wanted to add that the caveat for all new ROMs is really true. Battery life will take a couple of days and/or charging cycles to really stabilize.

That being said, I've been running v1.1.2 (I didn't add the v1.1.3 incremental patch, which as I understand it doesn't touch any system stuff) since the upload links went live-- ~2 days now?

Yesterday I had ~30% battery left after about 16 hours of moderate to heavy usage (loads of radio streaming over WiFi, about an hour of WiFi tethering, plenty of browsing over 4G, etc.). That's with stock kernel and basic SetCPU profiles.

Hope this helps

EDIT: Forgot to note that I'm using the Anker 1900mAh battery, which is proven to be a little bit longer running than stock batteries as it is. Not sure how it stacks up against the Evo 3D battery though, except that it's rated at a higher amperage than that one, too.
[HTC Sensation] bskim23:
Awesome thanks guys! I'll hit up that thanks button once I'm on a computer
[HTC Sensation] leoiden:
just an opinion all this time i thought this was a port of the actual mytouch 4g slide rom to the sensation boy was i wrong
[HTC Sensation] bskim23:
Lol! I thought the same thing too when I first saw it
[HTC Sensation] cyberandroid:
Using stock HTC battery, I'm currently getting about 13-14 hours.
[HTC Sensation] swiftinmotion:
How do you exactly apply that splash to match the boot up/down animation. I've never done that before. Kind of stuck.. Will thank for any help.

[HTC Sensation] IMPEREAL:
is 1.2 uploading or did I miss the link somewhere??? good looks on an amazing ROM too!! top notch!
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Had a rough Saturday night. I already have it installed and have been running it to test the bugs (To avoid that 1.1.2 fiasco). I'll upload it later today.

As quoted from another thread:

Splash Flasher Instructions ... (I am not responsible for damage done to your phone , use this at your own risk !)

1: Place image of your choice into the place-image-here folder (Ignore this as I already placed it in the folder for you)
2: Click on CLICK-HERE
3: DISREGARD the 480x800 warning this tool works just fine with 540x960 Images .
4: Follow on screen instructions theyre very easy .
5: Enjoy

[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
From what I have understood from other posts, it is that governors when used with the dualcore script tends to cause instability and battery drain. I haven't enabled the "always on (dualcore)" script because it is still in its early stages and will just eat away at your battery for now. After using smartass governor I haven't noticed any difference in battery, but at the same time I haven't noticed any battery being saved (Which is what it should be doing). I'll probably relook at everything pretty soon and see what is the best choice for my rom to have.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Links up! Enjoy
[HTC Sensation] osugsxr:
just flashed this over a stock rooted 2.3.3. Up and running pretty smooth no issues yet. Stock rom for me was very solid! excellent battery life and over all use. Just not a fan of sense for most part :mad: may trade this for a g2x plus $130. Love the phone but sense is just too much.
[HTC Sensation] bskim23:
I feel you. I've been using this rom for a while now. I love it. It's snappy and excellent battery life... But ultimately I hate sense. I love the phone... Just being patient until cm releases. I came from a g2x and I don't think I can go back.
[HTC Sensation] osugsxr:
I like the feel of the g2x, very fast and snappy, plus I prefer using adw launcher ex plus vanilla android. Think I'm hoping for iphone for tmobile or go with the nexus prime. Sell now to get some money out of the phone and eventually sell the g2x hopefully. Just tired of going through phones, not really satisfied with sensation.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I just wanted to say thanks to Tony for my only donation thus far. Thank you!

[HTC Sensation] cyberandroid:
As usual, thanks Marlin... hope you getting lots of java cups!!!
[HTC Sensation] RuizGT:
Been using this rom for two weeks, keep switching back from different roms to this one. Nice work.
[HTC Sensation] deeoh1084:
so to install this it's pretty much the same as the other roms right? (DUH~) just install the rom through CWM recovery after i wipe the device completely right?? (my device is already s-off and rooted) but i just wanted to make sure (since i'm coming from vibrant i didn't have to s-off and do all the other bull crap... htc is lame) i am having the worst android experience with this phone but hopefully this rom will fix most of my problems!! thank you for the rom!!
[HTC Sensation] tengtengvn:
I'm coming from the Vibrant and I have the best experience with this phone.:D

At least I don't have to worry about ODIN bricking my phone & it doesn't feel like a cheap piece of plastic.

But yeah, you just do factory wipe + cache + dalvik, then flash the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] deeoh1084:
Thanks.. i guess everybody has different preferences :D i'm just having horrible horrible battery life problem and 4g connection problem (it switches from 4g to 2g back to 4g randomly) with my sensation (and random reboots...) maybe i just have bad luck with this sensation... but battery problem is well known for htc phones so... hopefully this rom will fix the battery life a bit but thank you for ur tip!! :D
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I should have an updated 1.50.531.1 build up pretty soon. Same deal as the 1.2 version except with a much needed clean up, updated Market/SuperUser/BusyBox/working init.d, and the CRT animation removed because that is a bit sluggish at times.
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
This would be awesome
[HTC Sensation] cyberandroid:
Anyone else having issues today w/ the wifi calling? Mine keeps saying "Not Registered" and when I click on "Register" nothing happens... any help greatly appreciated...

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:

[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
Works for me.
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
Working for me now. Got this for about 10 minutes of trying.
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Thanks MarlinFF. I have been waiting for a optimized stock ROM with a modified kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Thanks marlin? Dloading now!
[HTC Sensation] mesajoejoe:
Same for me as well

*edit* Its now working for me
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
This ROM is fast! The only thing is it drains entirely too fast for some reason. Also my apps don't restore on their own....not sure why. It might be because it had the older market version installed.....not sure. It's incredibly fast and smooth needless to say...
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
Well done! Can't wait to try this one out, looks like everything I was wanting to cook up--you saved me the trouble. :)

A bit concerned about some of the removed bloatware though.. when you say you removed 'stock widgets', do you mean the Sense widgets are gone? The Twitter/Friendstream widgets are very useful too.. would I just have to push over an .apk or two to get those back?
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
i think he meant the "stocks" widget.. FOr monitoring your stocks :)

Runs great for me so far :)
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
Is battery bad? I wanted to move to this rom because the one I'm using drains battery so quickly, I thought a stock rom plus unity kernel with uc would improve battery greatly
[HTC Sensation] instechgainza:
Thanks

Jus put a lot of loads on this rom. Total transparent theme, changed signal icon with 4g, changed splash screen, downanimation and bootanimation and it works everything good..Data speed increased!
[HTC Sensation] supercobaltss:
Thanks for the rom!! Got my 4G Speeds back hitting 6Meg down again instead of only 3, Much appreciated
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
Can you let me know about battery life? I'm seriously thinking kg making my way over to this because of annoying gps problems and other issues, but I want better battery life,
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
Well I'm testing it now....when I first installed it, it was terrible, but I added SetCPU to it and set up some profiles and now it's slowing down in the drain. I'm gonna test it for a while and see. The temps on it though are excellent....75-94 degrees while in use. Otherwise everything is amazing and fast. Loving it!
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I will be re-adding the stock and twitter widgets since people do use those. This was kind of a personal use rom but I decided to upload it since I knew others would want to use it.

What do you guys think of the rom AS it is? I still have the stock kernel version I think I might use as the base and include the kernel as a CWM flashable file. HTC Locations will be added in as well in the next revision.
[HTC Sensation] twomix9900:
Hi MarlinFF

Great ROM! This was pretty much exactly what I was looking for--near stock experience with minor adjustments and speed tweaks for TMOUS users :D

Would it be possible to add in overglow animations? I really do miss that from the AOSP GB. It's not a huge deal, but I think it'd enhance what is already a badass ROM :D
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
I'm going to test tomrrow, does GPS work ? every rom i've tried my gps cannot grab a signal.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I didn't want to add one because I would personally put a blue one in because I use the Blue Sky theme that is included while I know some others use HTC default which is green. What color do you think would be good to use? It can definitely be added.

GPS should be working fine.
[HTC Sensation] twomix9900:
You could always put in option for multiple color choices ;)

But I think just matching the stock color would probably work out better? Although blue would also be quite badass.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I'll figure something out to please everyone.

Also for those wondering: the UNITY kernel by default overclocks your rom to run at 1360mhz~ which is why there might be a battery hit. I'm going to revert the speeds back to the STOCK ones and whoever wants to OC can go ahead and do that through the virtuous files in system/etc or using the daemon controller.
[HTC Sensation] twomix9900:
Will you be including Daemon OC controller? That'd be super awesome
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Yep. Readded stocks/twitter/polaris. Changed OC default speed to 1.2 which are the stock speeds. Repacking and uploading right now. Data could obviously be reused again.
[HTC Sensation] twomix9900:
Super, thank you! :D
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I tried adding it, but for some reason it won't copy over. It is even included in the zip + the updater script.. I'll have to take a look at it. v1.01 is updated with all the twitter/stock widgets back. I forgot to include the updated build.prop but it is attached for now. Installing it will give you the built in screen capture (Hold power button than press home button), faster dialing, and faster UI.
[HTC Sensation] johnp888:
anyone try this rom from stock without wiping?
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Thanks again Marlin! I've been using first version all day without a hiccup! Battery life seems pretty good also!
[HTC Sensation] moh0:
If I knew how to cook Roms, this is the exactly how I would want my Rom to be. Thanks Marlin!
[HTC Sensation] tengtengvn:
I've pretty much all the other ROMs on here and my 4G speed is crap. This ROM is what I need.

Thank you MarlinFF!!!! :)
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Hey guys,

I'm glad most of you are liking the rom. I'm using it right now for the first time with the new kernel and does anyone else notice a pretty high battery drain? I know the kernel is in it's early stages but I might revert back to stock and put the UNITY kernel as an addon.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Actually its pretty good, been off the charger for 6 hours at work with moderate use and I got 80% left. I installed the daemon apk and its seems to work well.
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
same here. runs great, great battery. Oc'd to 1728 interactive, no issues or hiccups.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
In that case I'll leave it. Its probably my battery stats are off from the 10+ flashes. However I am getting the dreaded bug with the screen not waking up due to the

underclock when sleep profile. Is anyone else experiencing that?

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
When I first install this ROM my battery drains tremendously fast. Anyone else experience this? It does this with all TMOUS ROMs. I currently have the 10.43 radio installed, could that be the reason why it's acting the way it is? I seem to get better battery life even. ALSO....what is the TMOUS Sensation 4G stock radio? And does anyone have it so I can flash back to it? I really want to peacefully use this ROM lol

Thanks in Advance
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I've never flashed my radio and it's on 10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15 right now. You can get it here
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
Thanks! Hopefully this will fix the battery drain issue I'm having. I shouldn't have flashed it in the first place. lol
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Meh, it's not bad to flash it. That's why we're on a dev forum so we can test and find better options :) I want T-Mobile to release our 1.35 RUU already so we can be up to date
[HTC Sensation] tengtengvn:
Confirmed. I got my 6-8Mbps data speed back. YAYYYY.:p :p :p

Was shot down to 2-3Mbps using non-TMOUS based ROM.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Okay, I'm not going to update until I'm completely happy with it but the next revision will have:

The newest Daemon Controller (1.11) that was just released today implemented into system/apps so you won't have to download it anymore

Latest build.prop so there will be no need to move it yourself

Newest beta UNITY kernel (If all goes well, I'm testing it right now.)
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
Going to test it out right now. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
If this is built off the T-Mobile base why do we have the H for data instead of 4G?
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
So this kernel is at stock speeds correct? Do I control it with setCPU or something else? I'm only familiar with setcpu but I read somewhere that it doesn't work with the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] :
apparently there is a thread somewhere here that shows you how to set it back to the 4g icon. i, myself, would love to know where this thread is. i searched but to no avail. maybe i just fail? but if someone can point us to the thread it would be majorly appreciated!!! :)
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
Yes I know how to change it. That's not the point. The H usually comes from the European base. T-Mobile stock base uses 4G icon. The OP said it was based off a T-Mobile base, just wondering why there's a H instead of 4G?
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
Didn't look very hard, its only a handful of posts bellow this one...HERE
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
How did it get changed to begin with?

Been waiting for a stock US tweaked ROM. Just flashed, will report back later. Don't have time to play with it too much now.
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
Your best off to use the Daemon OC Controller posted in the first post to tweak freq's. It's better than SetCPU.
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
My first observations are: My applications did not install after sync with my Gmail account. Not sure why some times this happens on some ROMS.

No 4G icon for data.

Will continue to test it a little more and stay tuned.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Ah, the reason why it's using the HSDPA symbol is because of the QuickSettings. I'm finding a way to revert it back to the 4g symbol right now and it'll be included in the next release.

EDIT: Can anyone else confirm that the market does not autoinstall apps? I wonder why that is.. I haven't really touched anything. It could be something with the kernel.
[HTC Sensation] :
thank you. :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] grrrizo:
It did not autoinstall apps for me either.Great rom btw,running excellent thanks
[HTC Sensation] :
I would actually prefer that it doesn't. After a fresh flash on the Samsung Vibrant and Galaxy S 4g we found it best to not touch the phone for 10 minutes or so after a flash. Not sure if the reason behind that carries over to this phone or not. Only a dev would know the answer to that. But just to be safe I would rather that Market didn't auto-install apps upon first boot. At least, until I hear a dev say it doesn't effect anything on the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
So.....after flashing this ROM a few times, I figured my issue was the Radio. So I flashed back to the TMOUSA radio currently used and voila...battery issues went away. On top of that I flashed Unity V4 kernel and it's running stable and consistent using SetCPU. I don't think my phone liked the Daemon tool.

I added the new Messaging application from the 2.3.4 build from InsertCoin or RC, can't remember. My MMS size is now 600K, 1000K, and 3500K. Tested them all and it's working. I send and receive full-size images no issues. I'm fully charging the phone now so I can re-calibrate the battery and hopefully get even better battery life out of it. I'm in a place right now where signal strength is weak, so I'll test the battery probably tomorrow....

I'm running at 1350mhz and have yet to go over 100F. Highest I've been was 97F and that's setting up the phone and so on. Gonna allow some time for the phone and kernel to settle in. Needless to say this phone absolutely FLIES!!! I'm glad a US Based developer can create a ROM. I flashed a Euro ROM so fast, I forgot I could've done something similar....but Marlin bro.....great job!
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Like I posted earlier, this Rom is incredible with the Unity v4 kernel. The daemon apps works great. I included a screenshot of how much ram I have free after freezing most of the sense stuff through TB. I'm running ADW EX with Max bloatware and much of sense frozen. It runs schaweeeet! I'm loving the battery life also, I'm at 41% in the screenshot and its been unplugged for more than 14 hours. Emails, phone calls and web browsing at work. I have a chichitec battery though. Just wanted to share and rant LOL?

Using v1.01

I have had only minor issues with wifi and mobile data. as before it would keep mobile data and signal on if wifi was too low. now it disconnect cell signal all together and waits to reconnect when turning off wifi or losing it. Usaully turns just mobile data and reconnects but cell signal stays. Must be the Kernel in my opinion. It also has froze several times switching wifi off. wifi will be stuck at turning off.

I have noticed that the battery temperature reading is off. stuck around 77-78F.

it won't even go below 77F. I do have an ANKER. Anyone let me know if this has happened to them as well. Worked fine on stock TMOUS ROM. now won't read properly. Hope its not the battery:mad: (DUMB battery, seen other people start getting this)

Gtalk video chat works great but person on other end cannot see me. Maybe their device. Anyone can confirm their results.

Still get ads. maybe hosts file didn't get updated. may just use the no ads app. I will check the file as well and get back

The Good:

Batt life seems good

Fast

cell signal seems good

camera and video is good

GPS link a little slow but works
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I believe a lot of the problems are from the UNITY kernel as I never had any issues before than. Now occasionally the screen won't wake up from sleep (I know it's due to the underclock on sleep). Otherwise the kernel is REALLY smooth it seems.. but it's not that much smoother than the stock for me to switch. You can revert back to the stock kernel using Android Revolution HD's script HERE

I'm at work and it froze again for me.. So I went ahead and flashed it back myself. The HOSTS file should be updated. I just ran AdFree and it said I had the latest (This is after a new installation as well).

When I get home from work today I'm going to start from the stock T-Mobile rom and re-do all the changes to make sure everything is good this time around (Market autoinstalls, etc).
[HTC Sensation] TheMach:
Thanks for this ROM Marlin, it's exactly what I was looking for! I wanted to let you know that my applications ARE auto-installing (I just finished installing your ROM). I went from stock to your ROM, did a wipe before installing your ROM, and once I entered my Google account info the apps started installing. I was using the older version of the market. Just wanted to give some feedback.
[HTC Sensation] ramses99:
Sounds Good. I am slowly but surely browsing through whatever I can to post results as I am using this right now as my daily

[HTC Sensation] mdeejay:
no. its newer
[HTC Sensation] zoth:
Just what I'm looking for. Thankx.
[HTC Sensation] moh0:
I was experiencing connection issues as well on the unity kernel. Much stabler now on the stock kernel :D
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Hey guys,

I will be redoing the whole rom straight from the stock T-Mobile rom again so I could fix and tidy up any problems I created during my learning process. I will be basing it off the stock kernel from now until all the kernels get to a stable level. Though my phone hasn't black screened from the underclock when waking, I read that a few others are still having the problem. It also seems a few of you have a few other problems because of the kernel as well so I'm just going to revert back to stock and link the kernel in the original post. That means daemon controller will be removed and be an attachment again as well. This last repack should be the final version until T-Mobile sends us an OTA update.
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
Would you think of contacting damo? It seems he has done a huge amount of optimization within his rom and if you could get this rom to be as smooth as his, and be based one tmou, I may love you enough to give you a considerable donation for your efforts.
[HTC Sensation] Sym_Link:
I am right there with ya.
[HTC Sensation] SCossio:
I see that you posted the release notes for Ver. 1.03 but only see ROM links for 1.01 & 1.02. are you still in the process of uploading it or building the ROM from scratch?

2nd question, once you get it up and running can we flash over or has to be a complete wipe for fresh install?

Thanks for your dedication in ROM BUILDING
