maybe this is a dumb question from a non-developer, but why even call it Alpha when it works better than most betas? Is it simply b/c the term "beta" is pretty much useless now thanks to the over-saturation of it over the last few years?
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
No, it's because according to Kmobs' personal standards, he views this release as an "Alpha". He just has higher standards for what constitutes a stable rom than most devs.
[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
Think this is couse it has known bugs.. Maybe CM team works this way :) Maybe a RC for them should be free of those "known" bugs..
[HTC Sensation] atlp99:
I think it is labeled alpha because of the developers' preference. It is the 1st public release and are still a few bugs (at least for some people) .

Personally I initially had problems with GPS (GPS status showed multiple satalites fixed but maps / navigation could not get a lock), but wiping and reflashing fixed it.

Hopefully since this alpha is running so well it will move quickly through beta and RC stages and we will have a stable release soon.
[HTC Sensation] persiansown:
Because we have higher standards than most other people on this forum. For example, people take our alpha releases and rebrand then as FINALs and 1.0s :|
[HTC Sensation] doniqcc:
Very true.

Yeah I think he means he might release it today because he posted it at 11:45ish last night. (Texas time aka central time)

[HTC Sensation] gs111:
'Alpha' is a good term to use. In development, alpha used to mean 'not feature complete ' which fits here because the source isn't being published.

'Beta' would mean 'feature complete but with bugs'. And 'RC' would be the final test versions with no major known bugs... Good to ship if nothing else comes to light.

Just wanted to chime in here and say that I've been running this ROM for a week now and it's more stable than any other Sensation ROM and seems to have absolutely no glitches aside from missing camera zoom. I personally didn't have any issues with sound or GPS from the get-go with this ROM. For all I'm concerned this is as stable as it gets.

Also my battery life is just phenomenal with the kernel provided in the ROM. Going on 29 hours right now with 5% battery remaining.

Yeah bro, but he was the ONLY one and he not dev in anymore. And some things might have changed since then.

[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
Before anyone asks if you have to wipe before you flash alpha 2, just wipe cache and dalvik (under advanced), and then flash the alpha 2 and gapps. I did those and running just fine.

You DON'T need to flash gapps again when updating. But thank you for posting this in advance, lol. Let's see how long it takes someone to ask anyway. :p

[HTC Sensation] uberingram:
Shocking!!

With the update notes specifically mentioning a kernel update and the OP specifically stating that kernel ****ery is not a good idea I can't fathom why it's bootlooping on you.
[HTC Sensation] ftblstr2319:
Seconded. Anyone? Will BT dialing from a handsfree work? Battery is too low to test rom.

Thanks for update alpha 2. Flashed straight away.
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
No, Bluetooth calling isn't fixed. I gave bumbledroid some logcats a few days ago for this issue, but I guess he hasn't been able to fix it yet. :(
[HTC Sensation] Bumble-Bee:
Im still working on that particuler bug. Will work on that next i expect :)
[HTC Sensation] persiansown:
Get out of my thread.

Why not try it as is before flashing outside stuff? Makes it harder to track problems also

Realy people the kernel that comes with CM7 has no real problems .... whats the issue with waiting for coulstom OC ones to be updated :)

What RIL do you recommend with the RADIO? I try flashing RIL 169 and lose service and then flash back to RIL 159 and all is good again.
[HTC Sensation] persiansown:
He was sarcastically telling you why it was failing on you. You on the other hand, attacked him personally. Your "standing up" for yourself was in vain given that you were in the wrong to begin with.

Now again, get out of my thread because last I checked, despite CM7 being a massive joint effort, you didn't contribute a thing.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
many many thanks persian! great work with the last alpha phone was cooking along... no probs at all this one with less problems will be even better =]

as for OC... YES PLEASE (i noticed your sigh =P) with undervolting, etc i can almost get same if not slightly better battery life in some aspects even with higher clock
[HTC Sensation] Bumble-Bee:
also we dont have to build/maintain a device or even give these selfKANG builds ......
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
You guys need to chill out.

Instead of enjoying the update, you get into online fights? REALLY?!

Just hit the thanks button for kmobs and if you dont have anything constructive to say - keep it out of this thread, and out of this forum in general.

If you ask questions that have been answered - you might get flamed.

If you flame people for asking stupid questions - you might get warned by the MODs.

There is no WIN situation in both cases. So chill, and enjoy the new wonderful ROM!
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
Great job CM team, thanks for the update :D
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
169 is the matching ril for the radio suggested in the OP. Works ok for me. 159 is the original that came with the device for TMO users.

Bluetooth

So it looks like BT voice calls work for some BT's but not others. For example, paired to my Plantronics just had a couple minute conversation with my wife. With my Jawbone or BlueAnt, no audio at all. Wonder why one BT would work and not the others?
[HTC Sensation] Bumble-Bee:
Different headsets react in different ways it seems im still working on this. TBH thats what makes finding the issues so hard

[HTC Sensation] dcrin3:
I can now confirm using TWRP recovery I was able to flash cm7 on the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
Thanks for all hard works. love this rom.

I have wi-fi calling force closing, its ok, i dont need it.

only problem for me at the moment is, can not connect with home wireless network, its always on stage of obtaining ip address. tried input password twice, and reboot system once, and also restart wireless network hub, still the same.

Why is the "only use 2G network" checked??
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
Same here.
[HTC Sensation] quierotacobell:
I haven't experienced it myself, seen someone else have it as well. What I did was wipe dalvik and run fix permissions right after I flashed it. So I guess you can wipe cache, dalvik and do fix permissions and see if that helps. Only thing I noticed was you couldn't change the min/max frequency from the CM Settings. But I figure it will come later on.

Help! I'm not sure what happened, but my Sensation won't boot. I updated the radio to 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 (the one suggested in the op) and then flashed the update over the first Alpha. Now my phone is stuck at the HTC splash screen. Any ideas?

[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Sure thing, will PM the logs in a little bit.
[HTC Sensation] Bumble-Bee:
Pull the battery and put back in and use the key combo to get into hboot and then recovery and restore to a nandroid
[HTC Sensation] Vandam500:
Can you get into recovery?
[HTC Sensation] mikeyinid:
fresh install. pull battery, boot into recovery, wipe data/cache. BAM.

you can try wiping cache/dalvik also
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
If you are stuck in a bootloop after the radio update, all you need to do is the following:

1. - Open the back cover
2. - Remove the SD Card
3. - Pull the battery out for 5 secs and put it back in
4. - Put the cover back on
5. - Press Vol Down and Power at the same time. Keep holding on Vol Down till you get in bootloader
6. - Select Recovery
7. - Wipe Cache
8. - Put your SD Card back in
9. - Reboot phone and its all working again. Yey.

Just to make sure place radio zip on root of SD go to fastboot it will found the zip and flash nothing else right??
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
LOL FML. I flashed the radio in the OP, it wouldn't go pass the HTC bootscreen, so I flash a couple other radio, but still didn't work. Decided to nandroid then flash a fresh rom, it worked. Now I find out it didn't nandroid properly. MD5 Checksum failed.

#FML.
[HTC Sensation] :
Seems to be a problem. Am I the only one that doesn't flash the recommended radios?
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Erm... read one of the posts before :) radio should be working just fine, but it screws up the cache. So to boot normally - you need to clean up the cache.

Its gonna go past the bootscreen, you just need to wipe the cache.

Here is how:

1. - Open the back cover
2. - Remove the SD Card
3. - Pull the battery out for 5 secs and put it back in
4. - Put the cover back on
5. - Press Vol Down and Power at the same time. Keep holding on Vol Down till you get in bootloader
6. - Select Recovery
7. - Wipe Cache
8. - Put your SD Card back in
9. - Reboot phone and its all working again. Yey.

As for the nandroid backup... after you restore it, dont forget to clean the cache, as it has the same issue as the one before that - cache still thinks that its running the other radio.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
i took the radio.img out of the zip and flashed it with fastboot... worked perfectly..
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
So the idea here is to not attempt to flash the radio? Seems a lot of folks are getting brick scares.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Haahah oh well, I flashed it about 3 minutes after it released. WELL! I'm still learning :D
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Flash it, and if you get stuck in bootloop - follow my instructions

I doubt you can brick it that easily, if the download is alright and not corrupted :D

Thanks again, this is so much better than stock. On bluetooth, mine worked fine for music with both stock and faux kernel, but the phone call audio didn't work. I tried the sound fix update.zip and then my phone call audio worked but not my music. I use a Motorola HD-9 stereo headset for both music and calls so, I really would like this to work.

People will want to OC just because. I personally don't OC myself, but I would like to use different kernel with my own spin on it. Anyways, I also mentioned many times that if people used my kernels for CM7, they should NOT report any issues to CM7 trackers because it's NOT official :D

I tried looking for your updated source and the only version I found is from Sept 10 :( Anyways, you don't have to post them, just tell me if you moved on to MR release, then I will do so accordingly.

I am probably going to sound like an old record but...

Does the dev have an issue with the heat??

I have had the temperture of my phone hitting 40++ degrees celcius with just some light usage like listening to music while surfing the net on wifi.

watching a movie drains the battery the fastest.a 2hr 15 mins movie will drain the entire battery without finishing the entire moive.and my screen brightness is set at lowest.this also make the phone temp hitting the region of 42 degrees.

CM 7 is the best rom i have seen so far but with the temp hitting so high,it won't be long before my sensation gets fried.and i don't have this kind of issue with my inspire 4g running on cm7 (all at default settings).

i would like to ask if its possible to reduce this problem with a underclocked kernel and if we are able to advert the heat issue by using 2 cores(with an underclocked kernel) at the same time to spread out the stress on one core...

i could be wrong but i am willing to listen and learn about what can be done to reduce the heat...and we all know excess heat is not good for any digital devices....

and yes,i agree with the dev,there is really no reason to OC this baby...but ppl OC'ed them anyway jus because.....
