Looks like we wont be waiting long, they are already on Alpha 11 of CM9 for Galaxy S. And they are almost there with the sensation

Keyan Mobli - Yesterday 09:24 (edited) - Public

Well... ICS is coming along nicely for Sensation. Just made a call and data is working too. No SDK bits floating around in here... source.
[HTC Sensation] bwilliams1:
That would be nice, I don't buy sammys and the last motorola phone I bought was a startac.
[HTC Sensation] TamCore:
Anyone knows how to fix the black screen after call issue? If I hangup everything is ok, but if the other side hangs up I have to pull out my battery or to connect my device to the charger for a second or so..

Using latest Alpha (10) with faux' latest AOSP kernel, also tried the stock cm7 and bricked kernel.

Searched around the web, but didn't find a solution :(
[HTC Sensation] bongostl:
Hi all...I'm very close to pulling the trigger on this phone....but I'm interested:

What is the current state of the battery life on cm7? I am seeing reports that it is problematic?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] szafran81:
Hi guys, any battery icon mods for this one ?

Got recently over two days on battery. So no problems with extreme battery drain for me.
[HTC Sensation] szafran81:
Doesn't work for me.

I've changed a few things in the UOT, and tried using the CM7 theme, and files upload.

Only thing that worked is the bootlogo animation.

CM7 theme isn't visible under theme chooser.

Anfter file upload, and install the load time of CM was a bit long, but after loading nothing changed.

All installs went without error.

Any tips ?
[HTC Sensation] k8sh:
Happened to me many times too. Phone freezes when on call but I can still talk and hear the other line but I can't hang up because my screen is already frozen. Can't even use the power button to reboot so I also take battery out. Any work around? Anyone else have experienced this? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
I don't have any problem with any of the theme using UOT. Try uploading the framework-res and SystemUI file and make the changes there instead of theme chooser theme. They both worked for me. If you upload theme chooser theme you will be limited to changes and you are better of with framework-res and systemUI file mod.

\Regards,
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Is there anyway if i give you guys my system UI and framework-res apk, can someone add a 4g icon instead of the H icon? Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] ryscar:
You should be able to hold down both volume buttons and the power button to reboot. Not much of a work around but easier than pulling the battery.
[HTC Sensation] szafran81:
Yes, well... As I wrote earlier I've tried both methods (the theme upload and the separate files upload). After the theme upload method, I can't see the new theme in Theme Chooser (maybe I need to do something after the zip install that I don't know of ? ). After installing the zip created using files upload method CM startup takes 5x longer than normal, but the things look the same as before.

I'll try manual file upload now and see what happens.

EDIT:

Manual upload worked. It was tricky, because I'm testing the ROM using BOOT Manager, and there is no bootlader/fastboot that I can use.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
So kmobs said he fixed most of the issues for cm9, data, wifi and such. Hoping for cm9 alpha soon :D
[HTC Sensation] Mountaineer:
I'm pretty sure kmobs is talking about almost having an alpha of ICS ready for the sensation, not CM9.

However, to be honest, I'm far more interested in THAT anyway! ;)
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Direct quote from G+:

"Keyan Mobli - 10:42 AM - Public

Woohoo, sound, wifi, data usage, radio, 3g, sensors, hw accel, etc all working on sensation.

Want to fix BT, some remaining graphics bugs, and a couple other misc issues before an alpha."
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Yeah but isn't ics cm9?
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
No, ICS is "just" an AOSP build, ie without the CyanogenMod settings, the DSP Manager, etc.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
But why would he release a non cyanogened rom? If he wants an AOSP rom he could've just helped out devs hhere.
[HTC Sensation] szafran81:
Are there any mods for this ROM for setting up SMS ringtones per contact without using external software (eg: Ringo, WhoIsIt etc.) ?
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
I think Cyanogen will have a perfect pure AOSP fully working and stable.

After that, they can add all their apps and tweaks, seems legit :p

This is cm's typical mo- start with a pure aosp build, then slowly work in cm tweaks.
[HTC Sensation] Nickedynick:
From the AOSP team though, not CM.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Yes, and this is a CM thread. Im sure most of us in here are holding out for a CM release of ICS. I dont want a shell of ICS (icons and fonts) but the full (or close to it) experience. Kmobs looks to be in agreement on that as well. Aside from new icons and fonts, ICS brings HA and PROPER dual core support.

[HTC Sensation] zim2dive:
CM thread yes.. but the poster in question clearly said ICS tonite, not CM9. Flame for being in the wrong thread perhaps, but not for posting misinformation.

Hey Mike,

this took me a long time to figure out too..... Open up email, SMS etc and go into the settings for the specific App, turn on Vib there... Since doing this mine has been perfect! IE go to SMS home screen, menu buton, settings, Notification settings, Vibrate drop down, set to always. (you can set vib patern also :) )
[HTC Sensation] M@rshy:
I'm having issues with someone hearing echoing of their voice while talking to me. I'm using wifi calling. I'm not sure if this is their phones **** up or mine, but that is the only person I have heard an issue, and they only have it with me.
[HTC Sensation] szafran81:
Guys, did any of you experienced disappearing ADW Launcher settings ? After a fer reboots from flashing it's gone :/

Now I don't have any abillity to chenge those settings.

Any ideas how to fix it ?

EDIT:

Nevermind. I've installed something that made my phone to ask what to launch as a home. From what I've read the settings wont show up untill ADW is set as the default home app.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Yeah, it happens...

Also, if its not the echo - its the volume. People are complaining that they cant hear me. I switched from Charter (blahhh) to ATT Uverse (another blaaaah) and its the same issue. I switched my router - same issue.

So I guess its either rom related, or just crappy wifi calling app.

To anyone out there depending on tmobile wifi calling for their own house - call tmobile, they now have cell-fi boosters, that are boosting your signal throughout the whole house. Its worth it, and I only paid ~$7 for shipping for it.

Give it a try, and ditch that stupid wifi calling, cause its just causing issues :P
[HTC Sensation] feuerkette:
Good morning everyone

I want try this Rom first Time for me.My Question is if I must only install the Rom or anything else?iam new to Cm7. I change from ARHD to get something new.Must I install any other things or only the ROM zip?

Sorry for the noob question and thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] mpmilestogo:
Hi and welcome to the thread! You will need to flash the gapps bundle as well if you want the google apps like gmail, etc. You flash them right after flashing the cm7 zip file. There are links in the postings here for gapps but you can find them at:

Anyone having problems with Swype keyboard disabling after restart ? Need to manually reenable it after each restart - then it works fine. Is there a fix maybe ?

Never had this happen. Try freezing the stock keyboard then wipe cache and dalvik.

This tweet was for the HP Touchpad:https://twitter.com/#!/dalingrin

The Touchpad and Sensation use the same chip family (8060/8260/8660)..

Based on the reported progress of ICS (and then hopefully CM9), I'm quite ok if we skip 7.2 so no complaints here, just passing along the info and a pointer to the twitter feed so folks can keep tabs on the progress from the devs.
[HTC Sensation] Glotzeulor:
Make sure it is installed to internal memory.

That's the thing. It is. That was the first thing that I've checked.

[HTC Sensation] zim2dive:
has anyone seen an ETA on Flash support for ICS? I keep seeing "before the end of the year", but nothing more specific. That'll be one factor in deciding to switch to ICS and CM9.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Flash is no longer supported on mobile devices going forward. They may not even develop it for ICS.

Alas, for many criticism is a stronger skill than comprehension :)

The CM/AOSP/etc folks are NOT writing Flash.. the ETA would be from Adobe. I have no concerns asking for Adobe ETAs.

Hi I'm new to cm and I'm all ready to flash this Rom when I finish work , I just have a couple of questions , do I have to flash the rils for the recommended radio or are they in the Rom? And also can I push the radio via adb rather than flashing a zip? Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] D200P13:
i have been waiting for some time now. looks like dev is very slow to release a rc. had high hopes to run cm but at this rate ill be on a quad core.
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
lol, join the club. I really can't wait to get GN and be really done with all these phones.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
No, you do not need the RIL, as its already included in the ROM.

Yes, you can push the radio.zip in /sdcard/ - its the same as moving it with a computer. All you need to do is to just somehow move the zip file to the root of the SD Card, and flash it through Fastboot :)

Enjoy.
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
I'm just curious, how much did you pay this dev to speed up this work/ product (for your enjoyment)?

Also, how are you helping him with development, if at all, to counter the "slow" rate he's working at?
[HTC Sensation] SamVib:
Why are you guys such in a rush for him to finish up ICS? He's working for himself, not getting paid, besides, he has a life outside of Android. Be patient, he's working hard, and taking his time. Do you want a half ass release? No. Let him do it whenever he wants and let him take his time.
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
Such savage rush beasts among the community? If you are so flash happy, flash something else in the meantime.
[HTC Sensation] szafran81:
Hi,

Is there any version spoof to 2.3.4 ?

Some games say that they don't run on this device (games that I've played on stock)
[HTC Sensation] robkoehler:
try changing this line in the build.prop?

ro.build.version.release=2.3.7

i think that would do the trick.
[HTC Sensation] szafran81:
That helped for some.

Any ideas how to run Let's Golf 3 ?
[HTC Sensation] bilbo6209:
Anyone seen this issue? My Fiancee's phone is showing 30+ new emails in GMail, she goes in and reads or deletes them but the number never goes down, it continutes to climb with each new message (even after she opens the message) untill she cleans the notification. I know my phone will only show the total of new/unread messages and if I open the email on a PC the count will reflect correctly on the phone. This issue was first noticed (or at least first brought to my attention) after her phone freaked out while using Maps when the latest update came down and froze her phone (She pulled the battery and the only way we could get it working again was to restore back to a nandroid back up of alpha 9) the issue started then but even with updating to alpha 10 again the issue is still there.

I am assuming I hit a setting someplace while tweaking her phone, but have no clue what or where to start looking. So any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
[HTC Sensation] leeskywalker:
Thanks just to clarify I ment can I push the radio via adb while my phone is connected to the pc , the method I use normally is connect phone to pc in charge only mode open adb and push radio.img , this method requires the HTC sync drivers to be installed on my pc and I'm not sure if they are still valid or reconised my cm7 thanks
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
I had the same issue. You need to go to settings->applications->gmail->clear data

and you should be good :)
[HTC Sensation] szafran81:
So... The trick to run most games:

Edit build.prop, and change:

ro.build.version.release=2.3.7

to

ro.build.version.release=2.3.4

(2.3.5 works also)

and

ro.product.model=Sensation

to

ro.product.model=HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] Ducter:
Yes, you can push it to your sd from ADB then flash, or you can download it from your phone, move it to your sd root, or you can boot into recovery, mount your sd and drag it over, reboot holding power and volume down and flash from fastboot as well. Several ways to get it to your sd root for flashing. Always check that the md5 matches though, especially with radios.
[HTC Sensation] bskim23:
I'm having a weird problem where my Google music won't download any of my selected songs that I want stored for offline listening. I've tried both wifi and data, clearing app data, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, fixing permissions. It keeps saying "cannot download songs right now. Check your internet connection." Anyone know what's up with this?

This wasn't an issue about a month ago before I sold my first sensation. I got the SGS2 and it worked fine on that as well. I sold it (4.5 inch @ 480 x 800??? Fuuuuu!) Yesterday and bought a new sensation again. As soon as I got it, I rooted and flashed cm and this issue has been ongoing. I haz a sad
[HTC Sensation] leeskywalker:
Thanks for the reply, all the methods you describe I know of but I think there a bit risky ( that's just me ) the method I use is totally different I don't push to sd card infact I don't flash the radio from recovery ever the method I use is basically installing it directly to my phone from the pc ,which by the way does work ,for details of this method see arhd thread and download radio from there its a much safer way of installing radios ,again thanks for the replys
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Hey guys- HyperSensation (based on this ROM with stuff removed) has a known problem with GPS/compass being a bit broken; does this one have the same issue?

If so, does anyone have any clues as to when it might be fixed? I'd love to go back to CM7 (my old phone ran it) but I can't if GPS is broken :(

Not true, at least not for many users of CM7.

GPS fix on Sense builds are WAY faster than CM7.

There was a post here, lost in all this "development" posts about workaround and a possible fix.
[HTC Sensation] szafran81:
Maybe, but it shure makes the GPS run like the wind (read a hell lot faster than before)

Other stuff:

What kernels are you guys using with this ROM and what's the battery runtime with them ? I've tried faux's one but it sucked for me (about half the time with it compared to stock ROM - so like crap)

Stock everything works the best... tried them all

Same here, had a battery drain with the latest bricked kernel. Stock kernel is fine and my phone still has juice at the end of the day.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Running this rom all stock, no fixes. GPS works flawlessly for me. I get a full navigation lock in seconds.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Hmm. Thanks.

So, Maps works fine (compass rotates) and Navigation works fine as well? There's no problems with, say, using Maps and then not having the compass working after closing it?

I ask because this is something Kmobs commented on a while back, and he was looking into it. I guess his ICS building time has taken priority =)
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. Which radio are you running? That can have a bigger impact on GPS than the rom.

lately, like last week noticed, that i'm constantly loosing connection to Google servers, for example out of blue gtalk appears to be signed off, and not receiving emails. once you click on gtalk it log ins nearly straight away. so i got upset about that and re-flashed alpha10 plus gapps yesterday. initially it didn't worked and lost connection within minutes, though last 24 hrs seems to be ok, and not loosing connection. any ideas why it happened in a first place?

[HTC Sensation] adame09:
Is anyone getting dropped calls?
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Ive noticed something related...

It seems that whenver I try to connect to network related apps (web, email, network tests, GPS navigation) that it is slow to connect. It seems to take its time before it connects to the web. I thought it was Tmobile, but after going back to ARHD I found it is CM7. Even though my 4G is 1.7Mb/s where I am, data seemed to be as slow as Edge.

In contrast, ARHD seems to connect immediately. (Making it seem so much faster). My data is nearly as fast as my wifi connection. I can actually web browse while out and about now.

I got lost while driving and my GPS failed me with CM7. Despite having a good amount of satellites locked, there seemed to be no communication going on.

It seems like CM7 loses connectivity a lot.

With my stock HTC ROM I've charged every 2 days. With faux had to do it twice a day (morning disconnect from the charger and in the afternoon connect it back again). Now with bricked it's a bit better, but stil crappy (down to 80% after 3,5h - and I've done nothing with the phone from the time it was disconnected from the charger). Was hoping for a lot better times since everyone says that custom ROMs are much better with the battery then stock. Guess that's crap.
[HTC Sensation] Moning2:
We're talking about a ROM in development (its still alpha) with a kernel that's also still developing. How is that supposed to guarantee its better than a final version from the manufacturer..?

Cyanogenmod on, for example, the HTC Desire has better performance in many areas because its been in development a long time. Things like this take time.

"5 hours ago- Last night Toastcfh brought us one step closer to full hw acceleration on the sensation. Notice how the list has a gradient in the background from pure black to a lighter color on the bottom? If you are running an ICS rom and your phone doesn't do that, then you are NOT 2d accelerated.
