[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
let the flashing begin. thanks for your hard work melvin
[HTC Sensation] homais:
Good job melvin
[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
Looking forward to this. I love CM7 but I know your previous Beast ROM was excellent even with the Sense base. Now that you are creating a new version based off AOSP I'm sure it will give CM7 a run for it's money. :)
[HTC Sensation] xSunny:
Ohhh was waiting for this one..
[HTC Sensation] Sammydr10:
Why is it so big? 126MB? (or is that not big?)
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
lots of modding done to it. i thought the same at first, but the rom runs really smooth. dont worry about it
[HTC Sensation] gcng:
Love your roms Mel! Thank you for all your work.

About this one;

"...Wi-Fi Calling (process com.android.kineto) has blablabla..." pops up on first boot... left it alone for more than ten minutes.

reboot, (insanely fast boot, btw) and it pops up again.

I remove wi-fi calling because I'm one of the rare ones that does not need it, so no prob for me.

I also use Launcher Pro instead. the Beast really flies with that.

Thanks again! and keep up the excellent work!
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Where can I get the fly in animstions. I really want em on my sense rom
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
is theme picker left in on this rom? If not is there a way to flash it?
[HTC Sensation] Jesushasadroid:
gotta try it...melvin...check back ...let you know...
[HTC Sensation] anbinhv:
looks beautiful! downloading...

thank you for the rom, will report later

is the GPS issue on cm alpha 4 fixed?

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

I'm not in the US and I use Romcleaner to remove it ( for all rom ) before boot.
[HTC Sensation] gcng:
Yes, it's there.

[HTC Sensation] farfromovin:
Melvin, as always your humor has got to be cooked in there somewhere lol. I'm not even using this ROM yet but it seems pretty good. It seems like I've been flashing more and more the last week with all the progress on the CM7 and MIUI builds.
[HTC Sensation] glensta:
Hey Guys - I'm new to CM7 but it seems pretty nice. Shoud I flash a recommended radio? Also - anyone Oc'ing on this Rom.

Thanks ahead
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
radio? if it ain't broke....

won't need to oc on this rom. i leave window animations on normal but the transition ones to fast in spare parts. nothing lags.
[HTC Sensation] greves1:
great rom!
[HTC Sensation] Jesushasadroid:
my internet is crawling...so is my market..any ideas? it shows hspa and 3g...
[HTC Sensation] Spirit81:
any chance to get htc gallery?
[HTC Sensation] :
dont plan on that bro. aosp means no htc apps, hence the reason why we cant get the sense camera on here
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Install QuickPic from Market. It's as good as HTC Gallery app.
[HTC Sensation] Spirit81:
thx for QuickPic ;)

gr8 replacement, and quick...
[HTC Sensation] Bronyr:
It's been a waiting/testing game for me - none of the AOSP roms are working well. It's either proximity sensor, 3g connections or hd video - I've yet to find one AOSP doing it right on my phone, T-mob US Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] rubino90:
With this rom don't appear gps icon and thinks don't work i find this bug with cyanogen 2/3/4 :/ only in the first gps works good in europe is possible?
[HTC Sensation] cmart4:
i like the rom alot, but just like xboarders rom, bt sound doesnt work for me.

oddly enough, bt sound works fine on all 4 pure cm7 versions.
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
I have much to do on this ROM yet..
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
This ROM and Brick kernel together rocks... THANKS...
[HTC Sensation] ronnyzilker:
Downloading this rom right now....
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
:eek: just tested gps, that's the quickest my phone has ever locked onto gps. damn i'm happy :p
[HTC Sensation] greves1:
hey, is there any way to enable the cyanogen mod setting to show the battery percentage in the taskbar? Instead of the themed battery, it would show up as a vertical bar and the batt %. I think someone must know what im talking about from other CM7 roms...
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
Good sh*t ! Back to the beast rom!
[HTC Sensation] hello00:
Good Job bro. Is there available a green and black theme? just like the previous extreme 3.1 rom?

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

it is too early to have an excellent aosp rom nowadays..just wait a couple more months and you will have your dream come true
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
settings--> cm settings--> interface--> status bar tweaks--> battery % :D
[HTC Sensation] dominante58:
not sure if anyone else has noticed this yet..but i am not able to restore some of my apps (BoA for example). It is the same issue i had with the senseless extreme where some apps were not compatible with 2.3.5, yet they all work fine for me in CM7 alpha 1 and trip's MIUI.

Back to MiUI until that is worked out. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] cmart4:
can't wait till bt sound is working:)
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
Cool you leave a good rom cuss it doesnt restore an app which can be done manually ...
[HTC Sensation] dominante58:
sorry that got taken the wrong way- no disrespect to your rom...I've always liked your past roms, I ran the original Beast up until CM7 was released. It wasnt just one app but about 20 apps in total out of the 70 i restore regularly when testing a rom out. The only other time i encountered this same issue was with the senseless extreme and it had to do something with the build.prop file (i think)- so dont know how that was going to be able to be installed manually since i never had a workaround or seen one back with senseless extreme so i stuck with the original beast back then.

if there is a way to manually install these 20 or so apps please let me know. I posted really just to point out a bug, or so in my opinion it was, but if i am wrong ill be the first to admit- just tell me how to fix! Look forward to your work.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
Guys sometimes i miss out some stuff since i flash around 40 times a day when im deving. I dont even use restore since i dont stay on the rom for some days .. i dont know what causes this issue but has to do with some google thing or else.. will deff check it
[HTC Sensation] juggaknot77:
Hows the camera, does it have zoom?

Is there any heat issues running on this rom?

I only ask because since cyan alpha came out thats what I've been experiencing and want to know if this rom is any better
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
I've always used MyBackup Pro to batch restore apps after flashing. Maybe give that a try? It's kinda like Titanium except you don't have to confirm the installation of every app.

And boy am I glad to see this ROM. I was running the original Beast up until CM7 came out, and tonight when I get home from work I'm flashing this one fa sho :D
[HTC Sensation] bakron1:
Melvin, I love your ROM's and I was using the beast until CM7 came out. I am going to flash this one and see how it feels. Keep up the great work.
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
Ehhhhhhh Hi!! OP UPDATED... :-D
[HTC Sensation] dominante58:
Thanks for the tip- but i am using titanium backup pro in which you dont have to confirm the installation for every app. I've tried restarting and the issue still comes where those handful of apps dont install. Can someone check it out and see if on the new 1.3 version you are able to get bank of america app to work? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
link seems broken? keep getting error
[HTC Sensation] vaerio81:
i just had same problem with 3 missing apps not installing in 1.2 with mybackup pro ima going to try on 1.3 and will report back................is no deal breaker for me tho ill just manually install them but i have that drag racing game and have sopme records i wana get back lol......
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
"Don't like the ROM? **** you then and flash a sense rom." Lol lmoa that's f**king classic ;) thanks Melvin, the screen tips are very helpful lol
[HTC Sensation] gjnicholson:
Hi Melvin,

First of all, great looking Rom! You obviously spent a lot of time working on theming the icons etc.

It is fast and smooth and, unlike your previous Beat Rom, my APN for Telkomsel, Indonesia was installed, so data works great!

So far only issue for me is Bluetooth media not playing through my Sony Ericsson Headset. The calls are working through the headset, which is great!

Thanks for your efforts and will keep an eye out for further updates.

Best regards, Gary
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
Gary it seems to be a CM problem therefore alot of these roms can experience it not specifically melvins stuff
[HTC Sensation] rubino90:
My gps icon not appear and not lock in italy solution? :(
[HTC Sensation] gjnicholson:
I have just flashed the beta4 of CM7 and Bluetooth media works great. Perhaps the next Beast version will have this fix.
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
Lol man thats like troll ****.. i didnt meant it. Its kind of a good laugh
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
Bricked kernel breaks it again =]
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
Dude this ROM is nice! Battery life is the best I've seen on an CM7 based ROM. Haven't tested BT on my Plantronics yet. I assumed it still wasn't going to be working. Nevertheless its nice.

Gotta test the data speeds though. So far I've been below average of 7-8mbps down here in Atlanta. Its been that way since I flashed a CM7 ROM.

Sent from a Fully Unlocked Desensitized Sensation 4G using the XDA Premium App!
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
seeing !!google talk authentication failed this morning. everything seemed fine last night setting it up. not using another kernel, have tried fixing permissions, uninstalling it, reinstalling....:confused:

just wondering if anyone else is seeing it too or if i'm just special? :p
[HTC Sensation] vaerio81:
great rom tried 1.2 and 1.3 but still have problems with apps not installing but at this point im willin to deal with that cuz i liked it so much .........i missed aosp roms
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
lots FC's on Market with Bricked Kernel... I cant also view the my pix (me:) on SMS thread... Please do fix.. Im loving your ROM... and please Melvin, as what ive always request, a no-fly transistion patch.. i just want the stock transistions... Thanks...
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
using stock kernel, no market FC's at all. why change the kernel? to OC? you should give this rom a try without it, it really isn't needed.

as for the transitions, just turn them off via spart parts, or maybe just set it to some animations.
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
Lol I thought it was hilarious, I've kept the screen tips on my home screen just because of that :)
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
im just giving feedback to the Chef so that he can look into it and for those Bricked Kernel followers... i dont have any probs with stock CM7 Kernel... I have 2 Sensations here and flashing like crazy... my intention is for the good, not to sabotage this thread...
[HTC Sensation] ronnyzilker:
I love ur roms Melvin..... thanks for all the hard work.
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
In all seriousness, I love the rom. Everything is buttery smooth and super fast (apps open before I even click them lol) love the theme and animations, but my only issue is that my phone seems to get really hot even when not using heavy at all. Im using stock kernel that came with rom also. But other than that, everything is great and can't wait to see more updates, thanks man
[HTC Sensation] bakron1:
Melvin, I love your ROM's and wanted to ask if I need to do a complete wipe if I am updating from a previous version of this ROM? I know when I update CM7 all I do is flash the new ROM over the existing one and I am ready to go. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Xcor3:
Applying themes from the market will make the home launcher force closed, so what I did was.

I installed adw ex launcher, applied the theme( i use minimal magic) and no more force close.
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
lol and thats why i included it in my ROM.. i was looking around and edited those text to show that and i liked that app for the first time lol:D:D:D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
Holy cats, this rom FLIES!

I are not disappoint :3
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
when i flashed 1.3 over 1.2 , i wiped cache and dalvik, then flashed 1.3, but when rebooted , it restarted everything. so do a full wipe when flashing 1.3 :D
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
The gps also locks on CM7 alpha but when you try and open a navigation app like google navigation it does not work.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Is this based off of the TMOUS 2.3.4?
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
This one does. ;-)
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
Ypu SHOULD REALLY GO READ THE OP..
[HTC Sensation] :
I had an issue with the battery. I had it charged 100% and then I restarted it and its telling that the battery is dead now. Do I have to wipe battery stats? BTW this ROM is awesome
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
gps works pretty well with this. although i am seeing for the first time apps not being available in the market. titanium won't restore a few apps. tried wiping data in the market but didn't make any difference. the apps i'm missing aren't super important however so i'm still staying on this. smoothest i've seen adw launcher as well as everything else work.
[HTC Sensation] homais:
Wow seriously, it is based on persiansown's CM7 ;);)
[HTC Sensation] cmart4:
melvin, are you getting closer to fixing the BT sound problem?

great rom, but i gotta have my BT music in my car!

TIA
[HTC Sensation] RestInPieces209:
While restoring my apps using appmonster pro, 2 apps failed, bank of America and movies. Now when I try to install them from the market it says "your device is not compatible with this item". Any ideas..?
[HTC Sensation] chchang1:
OMG! I flashed a sense kernel and it really booted faster! !

The tips rock...maybe some more in 1.4?
[HTC Sensation] vaerio81:
has anybody tried faux aosp kernel on this rom ?
[HTC Sensation] Seikei925:
How do you turn off the sounds when unlocking your phone. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] c@rL0$:
Unable to get GPS signal

I like the rom so far. It is definitely smoother than the Sense based rom's which feel bloated.

Everything app / feature I use daily seems to work on this rom except GPS.

Although the GPS feature is enabled on my phone, none of the applications that utilize the GPS will lock a signal.

Not only that but the GPS icon does not even show up when searching for a GPS signal. This is true for Google Maps and GPS Status.

Solution

To fix my problem all I did was install another rom first. I installed	Sensation CM7 SelfKang Alphafied Number 5 (9/21)

Then I installed this rom on top of the previous one and the GPS is now working.

[HTC Sensation] makomek:
can anyone provide me the stock font zip.got a hard time getting use to this font.this rom rockkkkkk.
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
I haven't yet, but I'm sure it'll work. Currently I'm using tiamat kernel and everything is running smooth as butter, n battery life is nothing to gripe at either ;)
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
I wanna try that one too but I get an internal server error when I try to download it >:|

EDIT: Never mind, it's fixed now.
[HTC Sensation] makomek:
It'll give endless loop.
[HTC Sensation] vaerio81:
cool im gona try that one even tho its pretty good with the stock kernel ......
[HTC Sensation] zrex:
I have been loving this ROM. From my year and a half with Vibrant it is really hard for me to like Sense. To have this Beast ROM is fantastic. My quadrant scores (for whatever it is worth) is some place between 2300-2600.

Overall look and feel of the ROM, I really enjoy. I am having issues with the GPS, but I am sure that will be fixed since it was fixed in SelfKang 5.

You rock Melvin, keep up the amazing work! You tweeted about the MIUI beta build for Sensation?

Edit: GPS is working fine, my bad, thanks for the great ROM
[HTC Sensation] bigbadmoshe:
Market works for some apps and not others

i have the same problem not only restoring with titanium backup but if i go to the market i get that message with other apps any one know why this is happening??????
[HTC Sensation] brian314g:
Melvin,

You are, without a doubt, THE MAN. I've been using the Beast ROM since this weekend...I only tried it on a whim, then found it to be so stable and SLIPPERY FAST, I thought I was set...now this?

Im going to flash this tonight...anyone like this or the Beast ROM better than the other?
[HTC Sensation] Dano79:
Battery life is excellent way better than other roms This rom truly is a beast
[HTC Sensation] homais:
Exactly what he said^^^
[HTC Sensation] PlankLongBeard:
Jumping In to Test this Out! Thanks for Your Contributions :)
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
I do a restore with titanium backup all the time with this rom and everything works perfect on mine. I think this is only happening to some user not all. Melvin does not use restore with anything so I guess it is hard for him to look at it. Maybe we can figure out why some of ours working and some not.

\Regards
[HTC Sensation] PlankLongBeard:
Hey Guys... I cannot use the home or search keys... how should i enable these?

Thanks in Advance!
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
Reboot! ;)
[HTC Sensation] PlankLongBeard:
LoL! Thanks Melvin :)
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
I'be been using this ROM since yesterday and I really like it. It's smooth and stable. But there are a couple things that may be deal breakers.

Most important to me is that this ROM doesn't support WMVs natively. The sense ROMs do. Anything can be done about this? I'd be willing to kick back some donations as I support all developments on things I use.

The last thing is that the Bluetooth audio doesn't seem to work. I haven't yet tested the Bluetooth calls in my car, but tried to play audio with grooveshark and got nothing. This previously worked in other roms I've used.

Aside from that, I see no need to overclock or anything. This rom is ridiculously fast. Everything just works and nothing had crashed on me yet and no random restarts.

I was using ARHD before (which I have really liked) but I was getting too many random reboots that all resulted in boot loops. Since I rely on my phone to wake me up and not crash while using navigation I've begun looking for a more stable alternative. Since I'm used to CM7 that is on my Nexus One, this rom just made sense.

On a side note, the phone gets pretty hot when playing games, but that's not a deal breaker. I bought my phone for business. Battery life is decent but could be better. All in all a great rom so far.
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
Hope USERS and CHEF/TEAM will like this
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
With this rom & the Tiamat kernel I'm getting quadrant scores in the 3200s. Consider my mind blown. I can't wait till BT & the front camera are fully working, this rom will be unchallenge-able :D
[HTC Sensation] damngood98:
was having problems gallore with titanium. several apps wouldn't reinstall; data, app only. didn't make a difference. had a couple of apps from the amazon market that wouldn't even download for a fresh install.

don't use bt. camera is a huge deal as it mostly works. gps was awesome. just missing a few apps was my only gripe with this rom. but it does fly something pretty fierce :p
[HTC Sensation] Jesushasadroid:
with Tiamat kernel...is everything smooth...wifi, gps, etc?
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
+1.. Tiamat's Kernel is working good with this awesome ROM, though there are some minor things that needs to be improve like touch screen responsiveness, which is better in most Sense ROM...
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
Very nice.. will look at them from my pc when im home
[HTC Sensation] richardmkovach:
Does anyone else have the issue where their phone number shows as unknown. I can still make calls, but when some things tries to read the phone's number (like Google voice) nothing shows up. Yes, I did a complete wipe before flash. I couldn't find anything about this in the thread, but wanted to ask before I go through the trouble of reflashing.

Thanks in advanced.
[HTC Sensation] SCossio:
Melvin.....I was wondering?

Your ROM SIZE is over 100MB

AOSP CM7 is about 90MB

Was there a way for you to keep the sense camera without using the AOSP camera?

your other ROM with sense camera was about 135 - 145MB.

is there a way you can keep adding aosp parts and pieces but remain on sense camera?

Reason I ask is because we all know the SENSE camera takes way better pictures than any other camera.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
So far. I can't get GPS to work worth a damn(no idea why either since other people aren't problems), but wifi works fine. Haven't tested BT yet either but everything else is very stable.
