[HTC Sensation] :
Felt like showing off my lockscreen (ripple lock), homescreen(adw EX - DarkEdge Red teme) and my blacked out miren browser :)

For the record on the battery issue...

I had my phone on, said 44%, did a backup came back from recovery and it said 26%.

configured some fonts, rebooted back to 38%.

Rebooted again, back to 28% and now i'm on 25%, lol.

I've already had it drain down and then fully recharged, did a battery stats wipe....

regardless of what myths you want to believe about lithium ion batteries... something isn't right. It's not the worst battery life but it's not better than sense and normally CM is better than sense.

Again, I'm not complaining, but it seems some folks here have a miss-understanding of who the n00bs are just griping and who the avid users are who are stating a fact... fact is... battery life isn't what it should be, regardless of time used, idle etc... it's just not where it will be in the future, that's all I was saying.
[HTC Sensation] fejker:
Sorry, misunderstood you. The guy you were quoting was saying that the in built camera is actually OK and you were saying that the camera doesn't support ffc but you didn't specify which camera so a logical explanation would be that you were talking about the default CM7 camera app.

Again, sorry but there are just too many n00bs floating around in this thread.

Camera ZOOM FX is $0.10 on the market today for those who don't like the stock CM7 camera.

Really liking this ROM, used a few Sense-based ROMs for a few days each then moved to CM7. Missed a few things on Sense, so I went back to a Sense-based ROM to try moving the other way to see how it felt. It felt bad, so an hour later I was back to CM7.

It's a shame that we're stuck at an Alpha release, but it's easily good enough as a daily driver (after editing media_profiles.xml to set 720p video capture) and I can't wait to give CM9 a whirl once it's ready.
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:

Whats about your almost stable ICS build, kmobs?
[HTC Sensation] bburke88:
Because they stopped development on cm7. They are working on cm9. As for kmobs, how about you read his google+ posts.
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Thread cleaned.

Watch the language!!!
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Well for one thing the CM build servers are down until they finish the CM9 code. No one is getting any nightlies for any device until then. That includes CM7.2 builds. Sensation is most likely to be merged once the build servers go back online. CM7.2 is still going to be released but the first nightly build for the Sensation will most likely be CM9. People need to stop asking these needless questions when the sources for the answers are publicly available.

There is no rule saying devs must update progress on XDA. If you can't take the time to check is Google+ posts once in a while, you shouldn't be complaining. Kmobs is currently taking finals and waiting for the last of the hardware acceleration to be finished up for CM9 on the Sensation. Right now he is further along than those other jokers who haven't even made any progress but swear they haven't given up. People please stop posting about how you switch from this rom to another and then back and then back again. It's annoying!

Hi,

This did not change anything. What do you mean with LCD density?
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Since you do not know what LCD density is, you probably never changed it. Are the other Sensation users you spoke of on the same provider and using the same ROM as you are? Try clearing the Market data under manage applications.
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
I believe that was when they were working on CM7.x, and then they started getting ICS dumps and source and shifted focus to CM9. And even if it was "months ago," they are under zero obligation to release anything at all. This is not a paid service. They will take whatever time they want to, and we should be happy they are working on anything at all.

[HTC Sensation] kusotare:
Try checking out some of the CM threads for older devices, like the G1 or the N1. After several THOUSAND pages, people are still saying to read the thread. Trolls gotta troll, because it apparently takes less time to be a d-bag than it does to actually help someone.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Whenever someone says "read the thread" they mean search. Searching is easy as I do it all of the time with no problems. If you can't search to find something out, you really shouldn't be here. This is something everyone that uses custom ROMs must know how to do. Asking the same question over and over will lead to you being ignored even if it's your first time asking. It has nothing to do with being a troll or a douche bag.

To answer your question, no. When the build servers come back up we will most likely skip 7.2 and be on CM9. BTW, no one is on 7.2.

[HTC Sensation] tbleiker:
This is something I'd like to know as well... I used to play Backstab and Windup Knight on CM7. However, I got HW problems, had to hand in my phone and flashed HyperSensation after the phone was fixed. Now Backstab does start but I get a message that my phone is not compatible. Windup Knight cannot be found on the market at all.

Maybe a wrong configuration in build.prop?

Btw: I've read about changing a few lines to Google/Nexus, but when I played Backstab this conf was certainly not applied :)
[HTC Sensation] stardust240781:
It is. But you have to setup it first in the CM settings.

Iirc, the sensation device tree was supposed to be merged into the 7.2 release, meaning we would be getting nightlies, as soon as the build servers get back online.

But all 7.2 releases are rc0 right now and kangs, since there's no buildbot.

Searching the thread for the home button not working problem finds a lot of suggestions to just reboot to fix it. After several reboots (warm and cold) my home button is still unresponsive. has anyone else encountered this and if so how did you solve it?
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
This is the result of a bad flash, bad wipe, or not giving it time to "settle" on first boot. This happened on my phone when I let my buddy borrow it and he started setting up immediately on first boot after a wipe.

Do a wipe data/factory reset and this time don't set it up right away. Once it boots to the welcome screen let it sit for a full 10 minutes. Literally, set your watch.

Then set up and it will be much more smooth and stable. Never been a problem for me.

I am reading the install instructions and there write:

"1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager"

I have a S-OFF (not rooted) Sensation. Can I install this rom? I don't really understand what "unlock" means.

Thank you very much.
[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
Unlock means sim unlock, so you can use any other carriers sim. I'm not sure on the other part, but I think you gotta follow the steps to root then flash the rom.

Edit: Since on your sig it shows you're running ARHD and faux kernel, yes you can install this. Just make sure you wipe data and all that, or use the superwipe before you flash this.
[HTC Sensation] yozpalang:
No sir unlocked means bootloader unlocked or in other words S-off

[HTC Sensation] decebal12345:
Thank you very much. So, I understand that I can install this rom.

Can you tell me please if the rom's name is "update_cm_7.1.0.-SelfKANG10..."? Or is this an update for the rom?
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Buildbot servers will be back up when they are ready to start CM9 nightlies. The Sensation is not likely to see any 7.2 release since 7.2 is to fix issues for devices that had a stable 7.1. We would be seeing CM9 as our start on the nightlies and CM9 will likely be the first stable release. I don't even think there will be 7.2 nightlies for any device that will be getting CM9. The current 7.1 code will most likely be merged into the tree but not worked on as the Sensation team is going full steam with CM9 and there was no stable 7.1 release. The next Seflkang for the Sensation will be CM9 Alpha 1. This is not the first time this has happened if you look at the CM wiki you will find devices that started alphas based on one release but first nightly/stable was based on another.

[HTC Sensation] slshults:
Thanks. I thought I'd done reset/wipe and wiped cache and dalvik cache, but when I got work today the wifi router and password were remembered, so I must not have reset.

Will try again (don't know about the logic behind the 10 minute thing, but I will wait until it's done and idle before starting first run login.)
[HTC Sensation] slshults:
The wipe fixed it. But after restoring a bunch of apps and settings (via Titanium backup) it was dead again.

After another wipe, I chose fewer items to restore with Titanium backup, taking care to avoid restoring any apps that interact with, or can interact with, the home button. After that the Home button was still working.

Not sure which app or settings were the culprit, but I'm making this note in case it helps someone else in the future.
[HTC Sensation] enzo304:
Greetings all. I'm feeling like an absolute moron right now (I blame my brain-deadness on the finally-ended semester), and am wanting to get my Sensation running better. For the life of me, I can't figure out what the difference is between a Radio and Kernel. Help? Any pro-tips on what's best with CM7alpha10? Or should I hold out for an ICS build/firmware/radio/something? Performance is fairly good, battery life is around 5 hours of moderate use (<--- this is important, I need more!), signal strength seems is average, GPS is hit or miss.

Thanks to all for incredible work!!

(Also, I tried searching, but XDA's search fails. "Radio vs Kernel" gave me 991 results in this thread)
[HTC Sensation] Floris-k:
The radio are the drivers for the communication. Thought it influences things like gps, wifi, 3g signal strength etc.

Don't know what you mean with firmware, but I hired you mean the ROM. The ROM is the software that yours actually seeing when you turn on your phone. The 'Windows' of your phone.
[HTC Sensation] enzo304:
Doh! I meant Radio vs Kernel.... my brain really is failing me....

Edit: updated post. Thanks Floris-k!
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
As said above, Radio (and RIL) manage access to the network, be it WiFi or 3G or 2G..... You need to manually install it to make a change, a custom ROM does not update the radio upon installation.

The Kernel is the core controlling component for the Android Operating system. Whenever you install a ROM it'll come with a Kernel, that you can then change if you want. It may allow configuration like: governors (e.g. OnDemand, Performance), underclocking, overclocking, undervolting. The Kernel needs to be compatible with the ROM if you choose to install a different one, e.g. A Sense Kernel will not work on CM7.

A decent picture, from Faux123, is attached.
[HTC Sensation] 2Noob4U:
I've been avoiding CM7 because it is still alpha (Not sure what's broken compared to Sense ROM's)

If a stable release of CM9 comes to the Sensation... I'm all over the donate button.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Also what's the point in buying a device in sense to put Cyanogen Mod on it
[HTC Sensation] kedlun:
It's been beyond stable from me from the start. Alpha... what's in a name? Rock solid on my end so I'd recommend just firing it up and trying it out.
[HTC Sensation] kedlun:
Because of the hardware. Some aspects of sense I like, many I don't. My phone has ran infinitely better with CM than it ever did with sense.

EDIT: plus, Cyanogen has a long-documented history of supporting my device(s) well past when HTC drops them.

CM7 Alpha 10 works well. Ignore the "alpha" tag just try it and decide.
[HTC Sensation] id242:
Are you saying that HTC Sense is the NUMBER ONE reason why people buy this phone?
[HTC Sensation] zim2dive:
In the case of the Sensation, it was the best device at the time on Tmo-US.

and IMO (and IMO only), in the US, Tmo has the most cost-effective family plans (with data) (and I prefer to be on GSM.. so its Tmo or ATT)... so you buy good HW, and then install the SW which suits your taste.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Exactly. I buy phones for the hardware and then install cyanogenmod. That way I get a phone with hardware and software that I like.
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Agreed. The people who suggest waiting for a ROM to "settle" don't understand what's going on. This is one of the silliest things I continue to come across on these boards. It amazes me that even some "developers" suggest this same thing. There is NO reason to wait to set up a newly-flashed ROM.

Hey guys, need a little help. I just flashed this, and everything is fine except for a couple things:

- When I go into setting and try to open the CM7 settings, it force closes the whole thing.

- Last, my wifi signal is 2 bars when it's normally 5 bars

Please help as I do not want to go back to the Sense ROMs
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
Maybe a bad flash, my settings and wifi work
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
Go into ROM Manager or recovery and fix permissions. It may solve your first issue.

Try a different radio and RIL to maybe solve the second issue.
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
If you're comparing wifi signal to a Sense ROM, then it's probably because Kmobs has said that Sense ROMs inflate the wifi signal to make them look better than they are. The signal strength is actually the same, but the ROM makes it look like there's a stronger signal than there really is. CM7 should be showing the correct signal strength.

See HERE for his comment.
[HTC Sensation] galaxyhtc:
Thanks, but I have tried that countless times and it has not worked. And sorry but.... what is a RIL, and I have had very bad luck with flashing radios.... O.o

---------- Post added at 06:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

Thanks, cleared things up!
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:

A lot of manufacturers and carriers do this with their signal indicators to try and show that their signals are the strongest ever. Others have been rumored to falsely display lowered WiFi bars to increase use of mobile networks, thus increasing data usage and possible overages. No evidence has ever been provided to prove this, but stranger things have happened with our phones. *cough*carrieriq*cough*

Also to the OP, RIL is the radio interface library (I think that's what it stands for at least). It's basically the software that talks with the radio to make it used properly. If you flash a RIL not designed for that specific radio version, it can cause major problems, including but not limited to signal loss. Every radio version has a proper RIL to go with it. You may want to look up your RIL and radio versions to see if they match, or if you have the latest and/or greatest radio for your area. I could be wrong, but ROMs don't usually come with radios, but they do come with RILs. Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm curious to know myself :-)

EDIT: I know there is a command you can use in a terminal, but I can't think of it off the top of my head. There is an app called something like "RIL Info" in the market that can tell you what your current RIL is. You can look up your radio version by going into "About Phone" in the settings menu and looking for it there. See if they match, and flash away if they don't!
[HTC Sensation] DonJuan692006:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that CM uses a modified version of the 159 RIL and flashing anything else will result in you not getting a signal at all. Been my experience but I haven't tried it in a few months.
[HTC Sensation] homais:
Umm...dont think so man.
[HTC Sensation] TamCore:
That was my experience while using the Desire. Haven't tried flashing a new RIL on my Sensation.

FM/Audio issues when screen turns off

I've got the Alpha 9 version of the FM.apk and it works well except for one problem:

If I lock the screen while the FM tuner is playing, the audio cuts out completely. When I unlock the screen, audio is broken throughout the device (no music, no ringtones, no notifications, etc.). The only solution is to do a quick reboot.

If I let the screen automatically lock itself, the FM tuner will continue playing when I unlock. However, audio is still similarly broken throughout the device except for the FM audio.

I've been out of the CM builds for a while now, but I remember this being an issue since the earliest Alphas (when we had no choice but to use Spirit FM). I have searched pretty thoroughly through the thread to see if this issue has been addressed. The only similar post I could find was from more than a month ago (I don't recall what version we were on back then :\). However, I don't remember ever having an issue with PowerAMP on any version I've used. Also, it doesn't look like anyone responded to it:

Just wondering if these screen-off audio symptoms are a known issue that I have somehow been stupid enough to miss during my searching. Or even better, if there is something I can do to fix it :]

P.S. I'm running Sonny Sekhon's ICS Theme and it's super gorgeous. Hopefully anyone who's interested has already looked it up.
