Will people stop posting useless benchmark scores? No1 gives a **** on how low or high it is.

Just wanted to say that gps locks in 3 seconds. **** is epic.

[HTC Sensation] sheetmetalninja:
honestly im starting to get more annoyed at the benchmark police comments like urs much more than someone getting excited over their bench score. i swear....

ive had like 10 posts and 1 thread since registering here like a year ago..... every question that is asked is 99% answered with either a quick search or reading the thread above... if not... wait 5 minutes... someone will ask...

point is... this forum would be much easier to navigate thru to find answers on what your having an issue with if it wasnt for the bull**** people bicker about or nag about.... i read the post earlier where someone *****ed about kmobs thread TITLE not being in guidelines .... REALLY?!! and said do they think they are above the rules or some stupid ****... i couldnt believe it. all the work these people do to spoon feed **** you want for absolutely free and u come on here and say some dumb **** like that? some people are just f-ckin ignorant and their moms slapped for not swallowing them.

**** it. 1 ***** post by me. i vented. done.

something new and interesting. just pushed some ringtones to system/media/audio/ringtones and rebooted so they'd show in the default list (something i've been doing since the G1 days) and now i'm getting a com.android.phone FC every 10 seconds (literally). ideas?
[HTC Sensation] g3c:
Hate me!

I don't think that it is useless to know that alpha5 works much better with 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 because this was the point of my thread an not how high my benchmark is. I don't understand why some people are so fixed on benchmark hating because sometimes it can be usefull to compare the efficience of a ROM.

btw if your gps locks in 3 or 4 secs is more importend than my benchmark, why?

everyone knows that gps fixes fast it's in the changelock!

Fix permissions via rom manager
[HTC Sensation] kusotare:
already tried fixing permissions both in state, in recovery and through adb. no dice. still getting phone FC every 10 secs (and yes, im being literal with the 10 seconds).
[HTC Sensation] bakron1:
I agree about posting the benchmark scores, folks should be more concerned about weeding out the minor bugs since it's a ALPHA build. I think the CM team did a great job bringing this ROM to the sensation platform.

I have been using the Alpha 4 build for a couple of days and so far the phone has performed perfectly. I running the stock kernel and I have had no connection issues with the TMOUS 3G or 4G networks and the battery life is more then acceptable for a smart phone with the widgets I have running in the background. My hats off to the CM chefs for a nice alpha build.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
Don't put ringtones in system folder put them on your SDCARD/MEDIA that's the problem

-----------
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
A bit off topic but is it safe to change the folder names in "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup" for nandroid backups? I'd like to add the ROM name and version instead of just having the date displayed.
[HTC Sensation] Xlythe:
Yea, it's fine. The recovery/ROM Manager just looks up everything in the /backup folder, regardless of name.
[HTC Sensation] hav0c:
Still no luck with bt. Phone connects but there is no voice audio when calling..
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Yes. If you do the backups from rom manager, it will also allow you to enter a custom name when you make them.

Also off topic: kang 5 gave me wood.

[HTC Sensation] kusotare:
very seriously doubt thats the case. i've done the exact same thing on the G1, Sapphire, N1, incredible and vibrant and never had a single FC issue related to it. im seriously doubting that 5 phones from two different manufacturers (who use different filesystems as well) work the same and suddenly the sensation is different. i probably just tweaked something before i pushed the files and didnt notice until after the reboot, so now im duplicating the whole process and figuring out where my problem was.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
Putting it in system folder makes zero sense. Once you put them on your SD card ONCE they will always be there no matter which rom you flash. SDCARD/MEDIA/RINGTONES You can even download an app like ringdroid and create a ringtone and see were it saves the file just to prove my point. You should never have to "push" ringtones

-----------
[HTC Sensation] kusotare:
A few problems with that. First, it keeps everything organized. I have a complete set of custom ringtones that entirely replaces the system default libraries. Putting them in /s/m/a as a replacement for the old ones means that I dont have to scroll through 40 default ringtones/notifications looking for the ones I want. second, I'm not sure if you've ever had the rotten luck of having an sd card eat itself, but I have. its much nicer to have your phone actually RING when that happens and not FC because it cant find the audio to play.

Oh, and considering I swap between 3 SD cards for music and photography, it makes a lot of sense not to have them on one particular card. The cards change, the phone doesnt.

Either way, i was correct in my assumption that it had nothing to do with the ringtones. I've been backing up after each step so far and just pushed, rebooted, backed up, and rebooted again with no phone FC.
[HTC Sensation] nxt:
Alpha5, my phone has changed the wallpaper by itself 3 times now to a picture of a nebula/galaxy. No idea where that picture came from. Very annoying, anyone else? I don't have any apps installed that auto change wallpapers.

And just reading xda for 10minutes, I go back to home and it's back to the damn galaxy picture
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
I have had the same ringtones from G1/MT3G/N1/Vibrant/HD2/MT4G/NS/S4G and I have NEVER had to do anything other than have them on the SDCARD whether using stock rom or custom roms. Save them on your CPU and transfer them to whatever SDCARD you are using. You are worried about scrolling thru other ringtones ? How often do you set your ringtones ? I do it once so it's far less of a hassle than having to "push" them to system and troubleshoot why I'm getting FC just my opinion you are doing unnecessary steps...

-----------
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Because GPS did not work and now it does. The gps locks in seconds and that is in real life. The benchmark scores on phones are nothing but hot air. You can have millions of points on benchmark but if the phone does not handle well in everyday use than what the **** does it mater how high it is.

I had roms that gave me over 4500 quadrant scores but still lagged in flash movies and gps did not lock all that fast. So who does it really help if I just posted wow look I have a 4500 score.

This **** really needs to end. If you want to post your score go to general chat or something. Don't waste space in ROMS threads like these. I have never heard anyone working on CM care about any benchmark, ever.
[HTC Sensation] yungman:
I'm wondering what happens if you receive a call/notification while your SD card is out/mounted to usb. The phone won't be able to access the audio files right?

still slightly confused over this....my radio is 10.14.9035.01, ril is showing HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ...........obviously a mismatch based on this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

so to get the match am i better off changing the ril or the radio? any pros or cons to one way or the other?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] g3c:
1.I never posted something like that

2.If you haven't started flaming this thread were 4 posts shorter.

I chnaged the radio because someone had problems with the 169 Ril http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17763142&postcount=2217
[HTC Sensation] baks:
I just wanted to say thanks toeveryone working on this rom. I feel as though I have a new phone. It feels so fast and it is now my daily driver.

I hope that the camera can be improved somewhat once all the other issues have been resolved as they are more important for many people here although someone did mention the MIUI camera which I might try.

Once again I would like to say thanks for a great piece of work.
[HTC Sensation] the_jinx:
Do you have gapps installed to sync settings?

I got my sense set background showing up on CM7 as soon as I installed and synced gapps.
[HTC Sensation] dominante58:
I flashed the cm7 rom alpha 5 and it flies...now I'm reading all this stuff about radios and rils ..im on tmo us sensation 4g and I haven't changed any radios or rils-still running with what I got from the 2.3.4 ota update- is there any point to change just cause of a supposed mismatch? I mean why fix it if it ain't broke? Can someone with the same setup as me from the us please confirm what benefits they had to flashing a radio or ril? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] mutiny:
I know you're busy, kmobs. Thanks for making it seem like we have nightlies.

Have a round on me, man.

BTW, Alpha 5 is ridiculously fast. I would do a video to show the difference from 4 to 5, but you guys already know.
[HTC Sensation] jmcdonald58:
I flashed the latest radio from the radio thread 10.15 and the matching ril 173 for the xe sense builds when I flashed cm7 I kept it for me I see no cons an imo the device is much more responsive and smooth of course its seems faster my data and gps is spot on almost instant on any build I tried but I do agree with the ain't broke don't fix theory I just like to tinker I do not use cpu or oc my device I am using kernel provided here
[HTC Sensation] yungman:
Admittedly it is quite an edge case so nothing to really worry about. It did happen to me once or twice on a previous phone and it caused ringtones, notifications and alarms to reset to default
[HTC Sensation] El Daddy:
It will play the default notification listed in the build.prop
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
Audio issue when running SelfKang5.

I can reproduce this is both Kang4 and 5, and it is pretty minor.

- Play a song in the music player (any player will cause it) over the headphones.

- While playing, have a notification go off (calendar, email arriving etc).

- the music will pause (or quiet) and the notification plays.

- when the music comes up again, the sound is missing its base... Like it is playing a different sound profile.

If I stop the music, then close the player, and restart the player, it comes back sounding great again.
[HTC Sensation] dominante58:
i also identified this issue and posted about it a few pages back as well as some others...another way to get around it is to just unplug the headphones and plug back in and it works fine.
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
I do that as well - I have 2 ringtones and 2 notification tones I've used for 2+ years... always put them in /system/audio. My wife and my coworkers all know it's my phone b/c I've always had the same sounds, despite having numerous phones.

That's not only helpful if your sd card is mounted, but sometimes the Android system itself gets a little bogged down, and instead of going to the sd card for the sound, it defaults to the build.prop sound (or whatever designates the default sound).

Sure it's not a big deal most of the time - but I actually had a situation where I was on the other side of my office, my wife called me about something urgent, my sd card WAS mounted, but my friend knew it was my phone and grabbed it for me. My wife could've called back, obviously, but given the nature of her call, it worked out really well that she didn't have to...

All that to say, there are some good reasons to put your sounds in /system, especially when it's extremely easy to do!
[HTC Sensation] dominante58:
ok maybe a dumb question but cant seem to find the answer- Is this ROM formatted in ext4 or ext 3? Im asking because i want to flash the 169RIL but the instructions say that if you are on ext4 you must first mount system before flashing the RIL.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

ok another question....what is the difference between 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 and 10.56.9035.00P_10.14.9035.01 ? I have the version with P because thats what the TMO US S4G comes with on the OTA update.

Am running CM7 on this fine but before i flash the 169 RIL to match the radio i just wanted some clarification- because the OP says that the version with the U is what is recommended
[HTC Sensation] bilbo6209:
I wanted to add some info to this :)

First off I flashed Alpha5 last night and the issue is still there.... The issue is not what I orignally thought, When an alert tone comes through (while something is plugged into the headphone jack) the audio picks back up through the headphone jack but the sound is very flat, kinda tunnely sounding, and at a much lower volume. jntdroid might be right it might have to do with DSP?

I recieved a phone call this morning on my drive and the odd thing is that the phone ringer does not affect the sound quality but the alert tone for email or text message does. If you pull the headphones out and re-insert the plug the sound comes back at the normal levels. I will try changing my alert tone to see if it is one specific tone ( I am using the default still).

I will report back with my test results for a diffrent alert tone.

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

Yep I reported this yesterday morning :)

Pull the headphone plug and put it back in and the sound will return to normal.... teh odd thing, for me at least, is that the sound is only affected by alert tones, not the phone ringer.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

Sorry, I am at work and cant read through all 226 pages to see if this has been reported :)

I don't seem to be able to get the vibrate to work for any alerts or phone calls. I have selected Always vibrate in the sounds menu but it doesnt seem to vibrate at all.
[HTC Sensation] phantomzer0:
I can confirm I have this bug as well. Started thinking it was just a bad install or app until I read this.
[HTC Sensation] ksnexusone:
Am I missing something when flashing a kernel? It bootloops every single time no matter how I do it. I have searched all thru this damn thread. Can anyone help me out with some knowledge? ?? Thanks on advance
[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
Same thing happened to me, jlevy how did you do it? I mounted system before flashing, or should I not do that?

Which kernel is it? If it's faux he's gotta update it I believe to match it with alpha4/5. Bricked works fine with alpha4, haven't tried it on alpha 5 yet.

GPS Issue

I just flashed Alpha5 and I couldn't get the GPS to lock. I used the fix mentioned in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1261008

Now my GPS is working properly. Just wanted to mention it in case someone else is having the same issue.

Other than that, everything is working great. I can live with all the other minor bugs.

Thanks to the CM team for their hard work.
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
I had a problem with my Nexus One that whenever I put a ringtone in /system/media the sound/song would show up in the music app. Worst of all, it would play aswell because I had the shuffle mode on.
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
that's weird - shouldn't do that in /system/media, unless maybe a permission problem? I could see it doing that leaving it on your sd card (without .nomedia), but that's odd in /system/media...
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
In CWM, mount/system first, then flash the ril
[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
I did that, mounted system, then flashed the 169 zip file. I tried adding the APN manually but it doesn't stick after saving it.
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
It will default to one in system
[HTC Sensation] dominante58:
I had the same issue..then tried the newest XE radio and its matchin RIL and still no signal...reflashing the rom now and the original radio i had (stock 2.3.4 tmo) hopefully its all good now..
[HTC Sensation] sbihue:
My TMOUS shows the following RIL... HTC-RIL 2.2.0159HMQ (May 20 2011,17:39:52)

It is on stock ROM 1.29.531.2 (Baseband: 10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M), Android 2.3.3 with S-OFF & Super CCID.

Should I be flashing the Radio mentioned on page 1 BEFORE flashing this ROM or after.

Is that radio compatible with the RIL on my phone or should I be using another one.

BTW my 4G coverage sucks (S. Florida)

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Although I dont know the difference, I also have the P and my phone works fine as far as I know.

As for flashing radios: DONT do it unless your phone doesnt work. No reason to fix what isnt broken. I am still on whatever came with the 2.3.4 OTA here in the USA. My phone is fine. My data blazes when I am in a REAL 4G area...I thought I had a radio problem until I went to a big city and started getting 8Mb/s DL on my data! (I get 1.7Mb/s where I live, which aint that great). My wifi does 13Mb/s DL at home.

I dont plan to EVER flash a radio unless life cannot go on without it. :-D Too may people winding up with problems and I KNOW ill be one of them. (Thats my luck).

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
If i'm not wrong, one is with 3G+ and the others no. But really not sure :D
[HTC Sensation] dominante58:
Yeah i used to have that same mentality about flashing radios and stuff too...and today just made it even more permanent...i tried matching the RIL to the radio - couldnt connect to anything anymore, even tried manually putting in an APN but would not stick. Then tried the newest radio/ril combo and same problem- no signal. Went back to the 2.3.4 ota radio and reflashed the ROM and all is well again.

And oh yeah- the difference with P and U- they are the same. when i went back to the 2.3.4 stock TMOUS radio that was mentioned, i downloaded and installed the "u" file but when i look at it under my settings in about it shows "p"
[HTC Sensation] die_braut:
Which OC-kernel is the best one for v5?

IDK which one works because all the CM7-kernels I tried caused bootloops.
[HTC Sensation] BrokenWall:
For those who are flashing RILS, I read that CyanogenMod creates and modifies their own RILS so after flashing the RILS you will break service for your phone. Radios work fine, but HTC RILs do not work.
[HTC Sensation] itsjefflol:
That's why I push my preferred ringtone/notification to the system, my phone spends considerable time hooked up to the computer for tinkering. :)
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
None that I know of. Faux is probably the most popular, but only works with Alpha 1. There is another out that is supposed to work with newer Alpha cm7 versions, but has bugs from what I understand.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] die_braut:
I think you are talking about the newest bricked kernel, yes, the dev tells BT doesn't work....
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
does this mean the ril must be flashed for every update? from what i understand the ril & the radio don't match. i know mine doesn't. not that i'm having any problems either though

only kernel that is compatible right now is bricked kernel. just make sure it's the cm version. wipe your caches before you flash it.
[HTC Sensation] mennalus:
Is anyone else having this issue? My battery still shows 100% after several hours!
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Wipe cache/dalvik after flashing and before booting.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
I would switch to:

1. Flash radio with fastboot.

2. Fastboot erase system -w (better than superwipe).

3. Wipe data/factory reset (to format).

4. Flash rom and gapps.

5. Reboot.

6. WAIT at the welcome screen, let it sit for a few mins.

7. Profit.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
By reading the first post or searching.
[HTC Sensation] speedy_kevin:
How is the battery life with this CM7 rom?
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Fastboot is safer. Wipe cache after flash radio or won't boot.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
I would flash radio because the ril will be replaced every time you update the rom.
[HTC Sensation] cqms13:
reboot and see what it says......
[HTC Sensation] mennalus:
97%. After at least four hours off the charger. Relatively little use, mind you, however that is some incredible standby time!

@jnt: Yeah, thats one of the main reasons that I do it. Nice to be able to ID the caller under any circumstances, plus its a whole two command lines in adb. Thankfully, I managed to figure out that the FC issue I had wasnt related to it. Dont know exactly what I did to break it the first time around, but its good old cyanogenmod smoothness now.
