You need to pull down your notifications, tap on the USB notification and hit the button "Turn on USB storage". Works perfectly fine for me.

The sdcard will be unmounted from Android while using USB mass storage though, so apps and data on SD FAT partition will not be available in Android until you turn it off again.

USB fast charge needs to be implemented in the kernel first, the switch in the OS is just toggling the kernel MOD.

Don't know of a sense kernel that has it (yet, I'm hoping, though ;)).

If i would have time and know how to do it i could try ofcourse but i think it is really hard.....
[HTC Sensation] McdohLOR:
Hey all, just wondering if anyone has a list of radio that i could try in compatible with this ROM? been facing network issues yeah. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ninjasalad:
thanks but dropbox is blocked too :P maybe try something like www.mirrorcreator.com ?

I understand that. I'm just not getting that usb notification :confused:

Also, in regards to the fast charge, sorry for the confusion. I wasn't looking for the tweak, I just remember in previous aokp roms you had to disable it in order to mount the device so I was wondering if there was maybe some hidden fast charge in this rom. Hmm, maybe I'm missing some drivers?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Oh... you're not getting the USB notification ?! Maybe checking the "USB debugging" in the devs settings ? It's checked on my VI, but again, I didn't check it, so I suppose it is by default ...

JP.

PS: Just to be sure, you're not getting the notification in the top left corener in the attachment when plugging it to your PC ?
[HTC Sensation] ninjasalad:
Yes I'm not getting any notification...

EDIT: Screenshot attached. If you look at the notification bar there's no usb storage option, even though the phone is plugged into my computer. Also, debugging is enabled.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Little question, I played with the Custon Carrier Label...

Is there any way to reset it to display the current carrier ? Can't seem to find info on this (neither on this thread nor googling) :(

JP.
[HTC Sensation] ninjasalad:
Doubt it. When choosing custom carrier label, it says "Once you specify a custom one, there's no way back without doing a data wipe.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Damn, that's a pitty and a strange piece of software on that spot :(

It's crappy, now I won't see my Carrier name in the notification drawer anymore, but no superwiping for that :(

Might try my last known good Nandroid instead ;)

JP.

EDIT : My Nandroid still didn't have the change, so I'm back on track, and there no more touching that ;)
[HTC Sensation] ninjasalad:
I just booted into recovery and used the usb mass storage option. My computer still fails to detect it. I'm getting worried that this might be a hardware issue....any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Just a thought, do other mass storage devices work on your computer (memory sticks, external HDD...) ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] ninjasalad:
God I feel so dumb. fixed the issue seems like i had a faulty usb cable. Lol that explains why all my backups dont connect either :/
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well, that's an easy to cure problem at least ;) Glad it's solved.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] darkintragedy:
I've been getting frequent 'insufficient storage" errors lately, when I have at least 100mb+ left on the internal. I usually move the apps to SD once they're installed, but updating via the play store gives me this error, which makes updating impossible as I there's nothing left to move to make more room! D:

Is this the result of a faulty flash? Been using it for about a month now.

I also looked for the titanium .odex file that some post have mentioned as solving the solution, but I didn't see it on my device.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Try to clear dalvik cache (from recovery, first boot after that will take longer). You might have old apps you uninstalled still cached there, this is not shown in storage usage as far as I read.

Check for free space using 'df -h' in a terminal session.

Hey yank, how do you like the faux kernal with this rom??

sent from my virtuous inquisition/bricked kernal powered sensation 4G with beats
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
It's just about perfect, excellent battery life, and snappy at that !

I haven't tested any other kernal on VI yet, though, but I liked it best on ARHD I used until a few days ago... So I sticked to it and don't feel the need to look any further ;)

JP.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
On GB I always found bricked made my phone run too hot, so I've not tried it on ics. Happy with SebastianFM's 1.4.1 kernel to be fair, never felt the need to try any others out.
[HTC Sensation] einrae214:
Yeah the tweak 1.2 kernel is great located in the first couple of post of the thread. Is great a version of sebastian kernel under clocked great battery life if you run proper settings
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Tried that kernel & battery was better. But I felt some lag, so went back to sebastions over clocked! Now I'm flying again with this great rom.
[HTC Sensation] einrae214:
Nice to hear
[HTC Sensation] ninjasalad:
If someone could post a mirror of the kernel reset mod by socali that would be awesome as media fire and drop box are blocked in china. Maybe to www.hotfile.com ?

Also, has anyone tried bricked kernel with this rom? If so, how is the performance/battery life compared to faux and Sebastian?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Go to the third post of this thread for socali's add on's.
[HTC Sensation] ninjasalad:
I understand that. All of the download files are hosted on mediafire if I'm not mistaken. I'm in china on a business trip, so mediafire is blocked, which is why I'm asking for a mirror. Some kind person uploaded it to their drop box, but that is blocked in china too while hotfile or megashare isn't

New Adreno drivers

Hey all,

Recently flashed the new drivers for the Adreno S3 220 chipset from Qualcom. You can find all the info @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1636752&highlight=s3+220

What driver version is that and how does it differ from what is given in this thread.
[HTC Sensation] shaider_516:
Nice rom. My problem.is the volume w/c is kinda soft.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hi,

It's getting real good, today I was on the way for 11 1/2 hours, had light use (ok), and I came home with still 76% juice left !!

I love this ROM !!

JP.

PS: Been using Adreno 2.18 v2 for weeks, works perfectly and is a huge difference !!
[HTC Sensation] gertjanw1993:
I maybe need to be more detailed. It crashed at lockscreen maybe because I installed quad lockscreen.

I installed it 2 times:

one with a full circle

Second with a half circle

Both just after each other.. So maybe that was the problem, i went back for some hours to Ordroid and don't know if i want to retry it.

Everyone has got the same?
[HTC Sensation] mikeschevelle:
anyone have thoughts on my calls not being routed to a connected and pair bt headset?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Did you flash a sense lockscreen mod ? It so, it won't work with 5his ROM as it is 'senseless', thus been stripped off of sense.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Didn't any previous post ... I don't have a BT headset, but use a BT car kit daily, never had an issue.

May remove the pairing and re-pair (but I suppose you've done that already) ...

Using OpenGLES Extension veiwer im using OpenGL ES 2.0 2131267 which appears to be the older version than what you posted.

Adreno Drivers

Ok, So here are my benchmarks between Adreno drivers 213 & 218.

it would seem to me that 213 is the better, even though it is older. 218 did get better marks in Nenamark 2 by 2 frames a second but AnTuTu and Quadrant both came in lower than the older 213.
[HTC Sensation] GoreTan:
Where is the link for these drivers if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] dus1988:
I posted the link to the 213 version on the last page and someone responded to my post with a link to the thread holding the 218 version

sent from my Virtuous Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] uw748:
So how does the user experience differ? Scrolling performance? Did one seem smoother than the other?
[HTC Sensation] gertjanw1993:
No i flashed it from socali.. And flashed the other kernel which you are using to. And flashed hq camera mod for inquisition.
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
What are you using to send your MMS? The ICS stock MMS app or an alternative? If using the stock, you could try another app, eg. pansi, handsent or go.

This is very strange, GL drivers should definitely NOT influence cpu and memory, therefore I'd blame the quadrant difference on some quirk. Your GL scores (screenshot 3 and 4) did increase a bit. Also the general consensus in the thread I mentioned earlier is there is an

increase of performance when switching from 213 to 218.

Edit: a post stating why quadrant is irrelevant
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I totally agree, 218 is WAY better, no (noticeable) drawback on drain, I've been using it on ARHD before switching to VI and used them right from day 1 on VI and still using them.

There are 2 version of 218 around, the v2 corrects a bug in 218, that makes Instagram to work again. And 218 removes the green skype effect (never had any of them myself, don't use thoses apps, but that's what I read).

JP.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I flashed the 218 v2 from that link last night, can't say I saw a difference personally. Oh well.
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
I flashed 218 v2 a few weeks back, it fixed the bug with Skype where the outgoing video was green. Also experienced the issue with instagram where it would hang, but after flashing the VI ROM I haven't tried it since (as the Sense camera is great!), think Instagram have also added a fix for Sensation users at their end, although haven't heard of anyone who can confirm:

'Fix for HTC Sensation 4G freezing using tilt shift'

Other than that don't know if there is any difference in performance (other than increased FPS via benchmark test), certainly not seeing any negative impact on battery performance.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
One thing, for instance, where I see a huge difference is Go Launcher animations (effects), or general scrolling improvement (in xda app, menus ...).

All in all, 2D benefits most of this update, as it is now almost totally h/w accelerated, 3D makes just a few fps more. You could achieve the same kind of 2D speed by selecting "Fore GPU rendering" in dev settings on 2.13 (stock VI Adreno drivers), but with glitches (like on inline images in xda app).

I really don't go by benchmarks, but you will see a difference in AnTuTu 2D, you will see +- 100% increase (~150 to ~300), which confirms my feeling anyway, so as it has most of ARHD users, where this has been discussed over 10s of pages, have a look.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Shambolicuk:
Only issue i have encountered so far is that if i play a video filmed on my Pentax camera (file transfered to the phones sd card) it wont play in gallery, but will play in mxplayer app but with no sound. This same file plays fine in both apps on most other roms, any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] :
I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro HD on a daily basis and have no reported issues. Prior to this I had an HTC BH M300, no probs with this either apart from it constantly falling out of my ear :D

As someone else says, unpair it and pair it again. I don't believe there is a BT issue with this ROM
[HTC Sensation] dus1988:
Only thing is, it wasnt just quadrant. AnTutu came in with better scores in things too, and Nenamark2 doesnt test 2D to my knowledge. See attachments for detailed AnTuTu screens that I forgot to post.

Quadrant and AnTuTu both have tests for 2D and 3D in which AnTuTu seems to be much more robust. As you can see in the screens, the graphics are not really much different from each other, and 213 is 4 points better in 3d and 1 point better in 2D. Remember my Nenamark2 was only 2 points better on 218 than 213.

Idk why, but these drivers definitely effect cpu and mem. I used to see on my Elixer widget the CPU at 50%+ while not really doing anything (less than 5 apps in recent apps) and now it rarely goes above 25% (same conditions). I have reverted back to 213.

From what I understand is on 213, skype video is green; but I have no contacts on my skype in which to test this.

Also, the 213 from the thread I posted a link too, may be somehow different than the original 213? Not sure...
[HTC Sensation] mabdk:
Volume+ from market will solve this, using it my self
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Also using Volume + and the sound is very good!
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
There are 2 different 213 around as well, one is fast in 2d the other (stock ROM) is not...

Check by reflashing the ROM.

As for CPU/Mem effect or even battery drain, nothing on my end, all is perfectly fine, and battery life never has been better ! ;)

This isn't AOSP, it just had most of sense removed and themed so it looks like it.

I also came from HD2, found no need to adjust the dpi as nova allows denser icons anyhow and dpi change will break app store for you.

I am on 184dpi and use a modded Play Store which works like a charm at ANY resolution !

The need for higher density is a very subjective matter, I tried and just was frustrated for weeks with the huge fonts and icons at 240dpi. Until I was saved by the modded Play Store that saved my life !

Hi,

Here is the kernel with my small changes, which is based on faux123's 007u r2.

So all credits go to faux123 and anyone that has worked on the kernel before ! I've but slightly customized a few details...

This is the first time ever my compile is posted, I've compiled it yesterday evening and have obviously been using it for 1 day only, so use at your own risk !! :D

Changelog v1.0

- zram removed

- interactive governor removed

- default I/O schduler = cfg

- default CPU OC up from 1.52GHz to 1.72GHz

- Intellidemand inactive frequency from 1.19GHz to 1.02GHz

- GPU OC 3D down from 320MHz to 300MHz

- GPU OC 2D up from (27MHz, 96MHz, 160MHz, 200MHz) to (27MHz, 128MHz, 178MHz, 228MHz)

- Sweep2Wake (enabled, but backlight disabled by default)

Since I removed zram, you might have a look at the hard swap mod I made (which is why I removed zram) :
