New banners and splash screen

@all:

Post no.3 was updated with new banners by Septix and also a splash screen by Septix!

(I flashed the splash screen myself and it is BEAUTIFUL compared to the stock HTC white-green logo...)
[HTC Sensation] cstark27:
I wish I could be as lucky as 95% of everyone else here...the only non-sense rom I have gotten decent battery life on is Trip's MIUI and even then, there is still some issues.

I have tried v0.5f and get HUGE drain...upwards of 30% in 20 minutes of screen on usage. I am in a "4G" area so I don't ever have it on 2G. Anyway, in battery stats I can see Android System skyrocketing to the highest usage...even 2-3x higher than display being on at full brightness.

CW Recovery: 5.0.0.8

RIL: HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ

Radio: 10.15.9035.02_2

Installation steps: Recovery>Wipe Data>Wipe Cache>Wipe Dalvik>Install v0.5f zip>reboot>skip the account setup>go to Wifi settings and turn it to never>sign in Google account>turn off CM Stats>reboot

I've tried Faux 0.2.0 and Bricked 0.1, I would install those right after installing v0.5f zip. I definitely would appreciate some of your input as to what your radio/RIL/recovery is so I can enjoy this battery-saving rom. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Splder:
i fixed it :P but its no longer the same

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

another bench with the new

faux's 0.2.3(beta) 192Mhz min / 1566Mhz max (ONDEMAND)
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Off the top of my head I would say that 4G is the culprit. Even with 3G, my coverage here in Hungary is so lame that I can only do 10-12 hours. With just 2G, 36-48 hours... :D
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
have you tried faux's new beta kernel? its great on battery for me. and you should get faux clock and do the recommended settings over at the posting of the new kernel
[HTC Sensation] septix:
I've tried a few different kernels as well, and i use my phone. More like a toy that like a phone. And the best kernel i've tried is taimat (url in my sig).

If you don't use you phone that much, i would recomend you underclock.

I've tried to have my cpu set to ~800MHz and did'nt se any lags or so.

I use the standard radio, and CWM 5.0.2.0

Give taimat a try!

Whipe battery stats, give your battery at least two cycles.

I'm getting 20 hours, my provider covers 98,8% of the country with 3g :)
[HTC Sensation] Splder:
the only thing i can say is at first this can happen but if you (drain/fully charge/drain/fully charge) then battery will get better make sure to drain below 15%
[HTC Sensation] WTFD4V1D:
What do you use to underclock?
[HTC Sensation] septix:
CPU Master or Set CPU.
[HTC Sensation] cstark27:
Thanks for the input so far. I've flashed CW 5.0.2.0 and reflashed the rom with Faux 0.2.3 beta at 1.026GHz, ondemand, etc and a slight undervolt. I will give the battery a few cycles and see what happens...
[HTC Sensation] septix:
Don't forget to calibrate battery. Search for "Battery Calibrator" on market.
[HTC Sensation] cstark27:
Oh, I failed to mention that I wiped battery stats after flashing everything, in recovery. I've taken that to mean the same thing, correct?

Can someone test this app with nothing other than it running and tell me if their cpu1 goes full idle? Mine sticks around 90% idle (4-5% system, 4-5% user) and stays at my highest clock (1.026GHz), but it might just be because the app is constantly polling..

Forgot to kill other processes, but it's about the same.

[HTC Sensation] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
on the latest droid revolution, i was draining my entire battery in 4-5 hours. i changed the radio to the latest and flipped to the bricked kernel instead of faux. and now my phone runs mint. i suggest u try that on here. i went from 4-5 hours to 12-15 hours standby in a bad reception area/ 2-3 hours of order and chaos
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
re: battery life

Smartphone designers make phones to last one business day with heavy use. That's what we start with.

What shortens this time:

- constant flashes

- badly written applications

- user stupidity (turning everything on - wifi, bluetooth, 4G, etc)

What extends this time

- battery calibration (couple of charge cycles)

- not using badly written apps

- optimized ROM / kernel

- thoughful usage (ie turn off bluetooth if not used)

- underclockng / undervolting the processor (ie the iPhones have always done this...)

Bottom line is, if you have massive battery drains (1% every couple of minutes), its either your fault or one of your apps' fault. Start digging for the solution, because it is worth it! :D
[HTC Sensation] Justtryin:
I have great battery life with this ROM in general. But today I got a SMS which I didn't read until an hour later. During this time, the battery went down by almost 20% (I didn't use the phone in any way). I am using the stock message app, btw. Any ideas? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Which kernel are you using?

My thought is that the system did not power down (did not go to sleep) but just turned off the screen. In this case, it is the base CM build that is misbehaving.

Lets see if alpha 10 (or beta 1) will do the same.

Thanks for the report!
[HTC Sensation] cromo8:
I flashed this rom back on version .2 and i loved it, went to MIUI because a friend told me to try it out, i tried to go back to this and other CM7 based roms but titanium fails at restoring most of my apps, has anyone had this problem happen to them?
[HTC Sensation] Justtryin:
I think you are right, since the phone felt quite warm! I am using the kernel that came with the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Please refer to post #4 (FAQ), the last entry deals with this error.

I suggest you try faux's latest 0.2.3b2, as I have not had any errors with it since it came out yesterday.
[HTC Sensation] Justtryin:
Will do, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ThierryHenry:
I've tried searching this and couldn't find a solution. When I try and import contacts from SIM it says there's no contacts on my SIM when there is. Anyone know a solution? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] TommyBeretta:
Hey kristofpetho, when will you release 0.6 ? Cause my mobile stoped working/boot looping this morning and i want to reflash, should i wait or will you release 0.6 soon :D ?
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Flash v0.5 with the market fix. Nothing new has surfaced yet, and so it is not worth releasing 0.6 yet.
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
AndroidMarket doesn't show me my apps!! i flashed market fix but nothing new
[HTC Sensation] Splder:
0.2.3.b3 is out :)

Fixed GPU Slumber not waking up issue

Did you flash gapps?
[HTC Sensation] rick@uswirelessla.com:
First off thank you for the great rom. Second for anyone that would like to try ICS theme here is a link from xboarders rom that I presently use on V5F with Faux kernel 0.2.3br2 and everything working including the quick launcher apps. I take absolutely no credit for this theme just passing it along.

[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
If one installs the market fix, Gapps is not needed.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
To see "My Apps", you have to open Market a wait a little (I had to wait about 15 seconds, I just tried it...) until you are logged in. Then you can access My Apps.
[HTC Sensation] saniauskis:
Just tried it too. Nothing appeared after installing it. neither gmail nor market. Just Car Home appearded in drawer.

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

Sure, that would work if even Market icon will exist ;)

I can't find it, but market seems to be installed.

I see you are offline without a SIM card. The Market icon will only appear if you are online and connected to Google.

hey guys, i got a problem with my sensation. i have a lot of apps not appearing in the market... google goggles, tasker, parcels... to name a few i discovered.

i use the hypersensation 0.5F with the market fix applied.

any ideas? i noticed that when i search for lets say google goggles on my device it says 935 results, but only displays like 20 or so... when i use the market on my pc it says "app not compatible with your device"...

help plz! :(
[HTC Sensation] jpal2007:
Excellent battery life!

I love this ROM.

The battery life is amazing.

On idle state (network-on, gps-sleep & wifi-sleep) it consumes NO juice at all.

The only problem is maybe the quality of the sound, which is not as good as the XE ROMs. But with a few tweaks of the DSP Manager, you can get a relatively nice sound.
[HTC Sensation] Jack Hair:
Thanks for this great rom. Flashed 0.5f, coming from ARHD, and im very impressed by the smoothness!

I have a problem though importing my contacts from my SIM, it just says "no contacts on SIM", while I have like 70 numbers stored on it. Anyone got a cleu how to fix this?
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Hav u guys seen the br cameramod for cm7?
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
I am testing it now, lets see how it turns out. But everyone be warned that it is still an alpha release!
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
I just tried, and I see all the apps that you mentioned...

Do this:

Flash ROM. Start it up, reboot.

Flash fix. Fix permissions, start up, reboot.

Now it should work just fine...
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
Hey buddy, ive been using this for awhile, got my battery pretty beast, 13 hours and on 20% with faux kernal, One thing tho my wifi notification icon never goes above 2 bars, I think the actual reception is fine as I haven't had any real slow down downloading anything off wifi, Any clue to what that could be?

Edit: well I did actually just do a speed test and im not going over 2.5mb/s any build props to improve his or anything you can think of?
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
Giving 0.5F a shot currently. Today i did Update superuser to 3.0.6 and su binary to 3.0.2. After that i could not grant root acces to new apps anymore. Those apps which have acces already do work, but when i start a new one the screen just stays black.

Besides that it's a great ROM. I just don't like the Keyboard, is there the possibility to add another one (with swype)?
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
for the br cameramod, i just replace the files in system right?
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Well, yes. But at this point, I do not advise it... :(

The picture quality is the same, and after I wanted to revert back to the original Camera.apk I entered into a bootloop...

I'll test it further, but be very careful!!!
[HTC Sensation] xnpu:
Installed 0.5M yesterday. Love the minimalistic approach. Haven't found anything to complain about yet.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Which widget? Let me also try...
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Sorry, I can't help you on this one... I never have any numbers on my SIM-card, I have everything sync with Google.

I am in v0.5m and i can't set live wallpaper!!
[HTC Sensation] threeeye:
Hi kristofpetho,

I was with XBoarderMOD, but he sold his Sensation :(

I will give your ROM a try

Which Kernel do you recommend with your ROM ?
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
It is not in my ROMs. It goes against simplicity and more importantly it drains battery.

Right now faux's 0.2.3 betas are simply the best. :)
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
Anybody else have this prob
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
There are scripts in build.prop to actually make data transfer faster. I can not test as my internet connection is capped at 1.5Mb/s... Sorry.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
So does this ROM support Google talk with video?
[HTC Sensation] threeeye:
Thanks, I will try...
[HTC Sensation] Razpr:
Oh no! i was about to download it then i read that you removed google talk! i use this daily! :x is there a way to install it again? and with the video update?
[HTC Sensation] septix:
Fail

Wtf just happened
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
WHAT?

I just flashed the radio you suggested in the first post and now my sensation will not boot!

what should i do?

OK, I flashed the ROM

[HTC Sensation] trail1091:
it's great rom but i got 2 problems.

1.after i plugged in and out the earphone, all sound cannot be played through the speaker, notifications, alarms, all. the problem will be only solved after a reboot.

2. I roll over from a sense rom, in both roms, i got vibration issues. I guess it's hardware problem. if so, how can i confirm it?

Thanks:)
[HTC Sensation] cstark27:
Try to clear cache or reflash the rom.
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
Cach cleared!!Worked first time!

thanks muchly
[HTC Sensation] vaerio81:
Just flashed this rom today and its pretty good ...I came from xmod but he left so figure I tried this and I'm very happy so far ...........only thing I changed was the theme cuz didn't want it to be black and white and changed to faux kernel beta 5 and its super smooth now ......ill see how battery is after 2 cycles ......but looking forward to this rom's updates .....this is how I like my rom's ...simple so that I can set it up how I like it ........thanks kris.....

PS. also happy I got my BOA app back and my groupon app back ....
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
LOL :D

1. I will check, though I have to dig up my headset, I hardly ever use it...

2. What kind of problems?
[HTC Sensation] blade200375e:
im using the 5F version ... with go launcher and lunarui theme ... when someone calls ... the sliding tab to answer the call dont seem to be aligned ... anyone no what the issue might be ..

edit: using widget locker too
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Can you post a screenshot?
[HTC Sensation] Jack Hair:


Thanks for your answer, just found out the problem is my SIM, not the ROM. Another phone doesn't find my numbers either. (Not even Android but on an old nokia6310).
[HTC Sensation] blade200375e:
here is what i meant
[HTC Sensation] phoboss:
ok got it now, thanks a lot! :D

but now i have a new problem. i cant buy apps with the market on my device... i can buy them on my pc just fine and then get them pushed on my device.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
OK. The ICS theme files are all optimized for 480x800 devices (for now). Since the code streches the background, you get a misalignment. Until we have 540x960 optimized ICS files, you have to make do with the one you have now... :(

Are you logged in on the device? Also, some credit cards (ie AmEx) do not work on my phone's market either, that is an error on the Market.apk side which should be fixed on later market releases.
[HTC Sensation] blade200375e:

well i can download all free apps fine, so i'd think i'm logged in.

but everytime i click the "buy" button i get "an error occurred. please try again"...

i'm using a mastercard.

Damn. It works fine for me... I'll look into this. :)

I was finally able to fix Far Eastern characters in the ROM! :)

Its going into the v0.6 release.

BTW: I am constantly updating post #2 with the changelog for the next version, so you can see there what to expect from the next release.
[HTC Sensation] wernersen:
I have the same problem, did a superwipe before installing, wiped cache and dalvik cache after flashing and fixed permissions.

Keyboard / SMS app still force closing after 2-3 letters :(

Forgot to mention : I am using the Bricked AOSP Kernel !
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Did you disable predictive text? Because I deleted dictionaries... see post 2...

Edit: Also added this to Post no.4 (FAQ)
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
I updated the ROM to v0.2 and also added my own personal build, v0.2M (minimalistic) with the changes outlined in post no.2. :D

Really like this. question or so

I really like this minimalistic approach! Thanks! I am trying to get the HOME button to do something. I've set it to return me to the default desktop but hitting the home button does not do anything at all besides give me some feedback. I'm judging this to be a ADW setting somewhere. Anyone can help a bit?

Now it works. Strange. Guess it needed a few reboots or something.

weres the theme chooser and will u be porting pongsters hd2 theme to this build would love to see that on here

If you would like to see any other changes in the future versions that would make the ROM even more functional, please do not hesitate to post your ideas!
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Theme chooser was deleted from the ROM. :)

And yes, I am planning on porting his theme to the Sensation, I still have to get around to ask him for the permission.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
The touch focus bug is a known bug of CM for Sensation, and will be taken care of by the base build at a later time.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Yes, it does need a reboot to settle in after you set up everything.

1. I got the furthur issue. Once I had a phone call, the speaker don't work until reboot.

2. vibration not working at all even when i switch from sound profile to the vibrate one, it doesn't vibrate. I guess maybe it's the hardware issue...

Thanks a lot...I've been really confusing...
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
Any news on home button fix at all? Also I was able to replicate the Titanium backup restore bug. Some applications would not restore correctly.
[HTC Sensation] Lars C:
Experiencing almost the same issue. When pressing the toggle icon for vibrate/sound/silent from notification bar, the corresponding icon doesn't show up. So, for instance, if i press once toggle icon for "vibrate" the signal for vibrate shows op in toggle but not in statusbar. Vibration is not enabled. If I press the toggle 3 more times (1 Silent, 2 Full Sound, 3 Vibrate) then the corresponding icon and thus vibrate will show in statusbar and everything works ok.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Sounds to me like a base issue (alpha9). Lets see in future builds...

Also, does it work just fine in subsequent switches?
[HTC Sensation] thomas2084:
No no. In SelfKang base 9 it works. I have it in your 0.5 but I think in 0.1 it was okay. Guess it has something to do with changed icons?
[HTC Sensation] Lars C:
No problems with other switches. Also tried to remove the switch and then add it again but problem persists.

Guess we'll have to wait and see for future build. No biggie though...
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Ok, I'll check it out then... :)
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
this is usually due to CM7 - although i have just done a titanium restore and there are about 8 apps that have not restored!!

can you point me at the kernel you are using in your signature... faux 0.2.3beta

thanks very much
[HTC Sensation] septix:
Flashed faux kernel last night, my phone did'nt boot. Back on Taimat, any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] ohliu:
Faux's kernel thread page 34. I searched.
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
just flashed faux kernel and phone booted super fast...did you do something wrong?

i flashed this rom, them flashed the kernel without booting and it worked first time!

4D3

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

as a note... i just tried to install a few things from market and i got told my device isnt compatible, I checked the items that titanium backup didnt install from my restore operation from market on my pc, and when i went to force the install i got a warning saying that they were not enabled for my device.

I know for a fact that the items im trying to install are definitely working on CM7 as they worked fine with the xboarderMOD rom...

there has to be something in this rom screwing with the install, and/or application compatibility!
[HTC Sensation] septix:
Probably the md5 that did'nt match up, worked fine just now.

Downloaded it directly to my mobile, didn't check the md5 then..
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Can you tell me which apps are not installing? I want to try them...

Also, did you flash the Market fix zip file?

Edit: LCD density has to be set to 240, otherwise a number of programs do not work...
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
Apps include;

Beejive

Cardstar

Ulysses gizmos

Paypal

Also LCD density was set at 240, but all these apps worked at 220.

Where is the market zip you mentioned...I just used the market app in the ROM
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
Post #4, FAQ.

1st question... :D

Edit: I just tried, I see all those apps (I have the market fix installed)
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Umm some apps aren't showonf up when I search in the market? Like flixter
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
the issue is not seeing them in market, it is the fact that they do not restore through titanium backup, and when i try to install them through market i get told they are not compatible with the device
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
I can 't see that either... hmmm... might be an error on their side... The Market with the fix works 100%...
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
OK, but if you do not have the market fix installed, the market app will report them as not being compatible.

Run the market fix, clear cache + Dalvik cache, reboot and try Titanium Backup restore again.
