thanks for the help
[HTC Sensation] lviseth:
My new Google maps is working fine for me. Is there a way to replicate the problem?

---edit

Nvm.
[HTC Sensation] halleycool:
just recently i got problem to navigate using gmaps.... its only occur when navigation... Other than that seems ok
[HTC Sensation] appletechsupport:
Two more here. My wife and I both have VI 4.0.2 and had the issue described above. We also have Google Now, Mikeyxda version 6, which is tied to maps and navigation. Thought I'd mention that in case a modified Google Now app might be a factor. We installed the older version of Maps posted earlier and it has been working fine.

That said, this is the only problem I think we've ever had with this rom. It has been rock solid. We sure appreciate all the devs.
[HTC Sensation] DBBGBA:
Try to search your current location with GPS or just with the network, I'm not sure why but I have the feeling the problem lies somewhere there.
[HTC Sensation] NinetoFive:
To confirm what you guys are saying (even though I wasn't running this ROM, i was just curious on states of other ROMs):

I'm running AOKP and I get the exact same Google Maps symptom. Everytime I try to navigate, it would pinpoint my location and then immediately kick me to the boot animation. So it shouldn't have anything to do with VI rom specifically, but rather HTC devices (according to the market comments) for some reason
[HTC Sensation] appletechsupport:
You are correct. This seems to be an HTC problem not VI. http://goo.gl/3XIob Rezound is mentioned as well.
[HTC Sensation] Pwnzor7:
I noticed scrolling lag sometimes on my sensation. Is it because of nova launcher or a bad download?
[HTC Sensation] MrBeOTP2:
nova ! let use apex :)
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Nova rocks and never lagged for me on this rom!
[HTC Sensation] MrBeOTP2:
ya I know. But just try Apex fw days. U will see which is better :D
[HTC Sensation] swaipa:
I'm running "Holo Launcher HD", it's very similar to "Apex" and "Nova", but on my device it's a bit smoother than the two.

And I'm still amazed, with all the roms out there, this is still number one. No bugs, rock solid..

Thanks again.. (c:

Google and HTC are working on a fix:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-and-google-said-to-be-working-on-a-solution/
[HTC Sensation] melvinvm:
Love it!

Just two things

1. sometimes my phone does a half reboot. it shows the Virtuous logo but doesn't require sim unlock. It's not bad, just weird.

2. I'd like the keyboard with Dutch autocorrect but can't find one.

Keep up the great work!

I'm having a weird issue with Google Maps. Every time I open Google Maps and I select Traffic conditions my phone reboots. I'm on the latest version of Google Maps. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
Read the last few pages, problem for everyone with a htc and the latest maps, just go back to the previous version,works fine for now until they fix it.

Try this:

But this rom is based on Sense? could we?
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:

how to remove the physical button from glowing when playing a movie or video..
[HTC Sensation] MrBeOTP2:
use Mx player
[HTC Sensation] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Guys, really, switch to HyperNonSense or even to OpenSensation and you won't have these bugs. You are using an old discontinued rom and bother guys to help you with bugs, which already fixed on other roms. Do yourself and others a favor and let this rom rest in peace. Sometimes you have to accept that projects die and that you have to move forward.

For me, I switched to OpenSensation after testing HyperNonSense and CM10 AOKP rom from Bruce and I'm now completely satisfied.
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
did you get an "awesome beats" app in your drawer? You should see it there..

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

This is still a great from, great battery life, and aosp ics look and feel and no major bugs. Watching the cm9, cm10 and aokp roms as well though as they're progressing nicely, but for now this is as functional and as stable as I need. :)
[HTC Sensation] []v[]o:
If the camera is as good as on this rom, but I guess it ain't right...
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
it doesn't, this has the Sense camera
[HTC Sensation] DarkPrinceByWWW:
HyperNonSense is also a Sense-based rom with the same camera app is VI comes with. No bugs in the shutdown menu and has the advanced power menu mod already build in and also the HQ camera mod. Also newest gpu driver are included afaik.

OpenSensation is a modded cm9 rom with functional camera (stock ics app) and also gives you all the tweaks you know from VI. On my side, I love the OS rom for insane performance, stability and compatibility to 3rd party apps like SwitchPro (as like date toggle gets refreshed in the notification bar as it toggled in the SwitchPro widget, unlike in VI) ...
[HTC Sensation] MrBeOTP2:
Yep. It has. But the setting in side has nothing different with DSP default ?
[HTC Sensation] []v[]o:
So why should I chose Inquisition over HyperNonSense, as it looks to me that it's a better overall rom?
[HTC Sensation] halleycool:
yeah... im using mx player... yet physical button still glowing.. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] reficuliu:
+1 on my device as well.

I hope there is a fix for this soon.

Google Maps and Navigation is great.. it would be a shame to lose this.
[HTC Sensation] []v[]o:
Why is there no light blink when the battery is almost empty?
[HTC Sensation] MrBeOTP2:
10% u get it
[HTC Sensation] []v[]o:
jup, discovered that 5% later ^^

I have noticed though that sometimes when I get a call, I can't answer the call with the lockscreen. I can slide to the right, but the call isn't answered... Any idea's or is this a common problem with this rom?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I've never had that problem.
[HTC Sensation] MrBeOTP2:
never get it :D
[HTC Sensation] jvnat:
I'm still on this ROM and it's still solid, very fast and no issues for me. No ANR, force close or any other issues.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
A new version of maps was released on the 29th, and so far that version hasn't been causing any soft reboot issues.
[HTC Sensation] shaider_516:
What kernel is best for this rom?

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] CamoGeko:
Most likely the one that comes with it.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
The most recent SebastianFM one, it's been improved since this ROM was last updated.
[HTC Sensation] mwilliams05:
Force close when "sharing" or sending a text message using the stock text messaging app.

Is anyone else having issues with the standard text app such as attaching pictures to messages, sharing, etc? I also get a force close when I send a regular text message (the message is still sent but I receive a force close message).
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
I had the same issue and so did others, but as you say the message still sends so no biggie, about the only niggle I had with this excellent ROM.
[HTC Sensation] M@rshy:
I really should update from 4.0.1

Although I'm looking for a JB rom that is similar to this one. Suggestions?

I'm afraid of leaving this ROM though. At 20 hours, I'm usually at 30% battery. That's with 300 apps installed and a lot running.
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
I'd recommend Bruce's CM10 ROM, I flashed from VI just to try it out and have stuck with it. Theres a few bugs here and there but Bruce sorts them quickly (just no front cam at the mo). Its smooth and quick and I've just had 31 hours on a charge with medium use, calls texts, fb, downloading apps, browsing, with 3.5 hours screen on time. :)
[HTC Sensation] M@rshy:
Awesome! Thank you. I had my eye on CM10 but wasn't sure. I'll give it a shot after making a backup.
[HTC Sensation] oseienoch:
Question

can it be flashed on s-on
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
VI? Yes, please see the link below for full installation instructions. Why not s-off? Its pretty much the first thing I try to do and means you can flash anything without even questioning/checking it.

http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/documentation.html
[HTC Sensation] :
Yes, I'm using it with S-ON

(at the time the 1.27 Bootloader was not hackable, not looked to see if this situation has changed in recent months)
[HTC Sensation] lviseth:
Is it possible to use the black and white theme used in HNS? I think its called inverted apps. But I tried downloading it from the link in HNS thread but its a bad link. If you do have it, can you post it please?

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

I get this sometimes when the phone is in my pocket. It spazzes for a while and I just have to wait till the call ends and recall.
[HTC Sensation] halleycool:
jusy asking, could rmk40 make the android v4.0.4 for this rom.. last favor for your supporters...
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Not likely since he doesn't have a Sensation any more.
[HTC Sensation] :
So is this ROM not getting developed anymore then?
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
its been dead for awhile now

Phone: One S

ROM: AOKP JB
[HTC Sensation] :
Yeah I noticed that but didn't know it was 'officially dead'.

What's the best AOSP/AOKP ROM that's getting current development then for Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] fr0zenblood75:
He said that he might update it a couple of days ago since he was using it while his other phone is being repaired.
[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
Official CM9. Or Bruce's CM10.
[HTC Sensation] halleycool:
totally a good news.. please update to new 4.0.4...

but please not JB...
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
Open Sensation

cm9 doesnt work so well to me.

open sensation gets updated weekly

Phone: One S

ROM: AOKP JB
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Why not jellybean?
[HTC Sensation] fr0zenblood75:
It can't be apgraded to 4.0.4 since this is based of Sense. And HTC has not released it for the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] halleycool:
is there JB roms with AOSP that is stable like this roms?
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Try Bruce's JB CM10 which is stable! I'm a past VI fan!
[HTC Sensation] halleycool:
ok i will try it... thanks
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I just made the jump and to be honest it's good! The few quirks that virtuous had have gone, and the only thing I can see that doesn't work is the front facing camera. Oh, and I can no longer use a sense keyboard, but I'm getting to grips with ones available on the market instead. :)
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Very cool! I find it a good JB start but a work in progress...having some lag in the browser.

VI was almost perfection :o
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Wouldn't know about the browser, I use dolphin instead anyway. :)
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
How do I calibrate the accelerometer / gyroscope?

Both seem substantially off. When perfectly vertical, they register a tilt. I have verified this with z-DeviceTest, as well as having noticed the effects in games and other apps that use these sensors.

There are a ton of similar questions posted out there, but I'm yet to come across a helpful answer. Lots of "are you sure the sensor is miscalibrated?" or "stop using custom roms and go back to stock". Brilliant.

Does anyone how to actually repair calibration? Here's what I've tried (and doesn't work):

- Shutdown / startup on a flat surface.

- Crazy 8 patterns.

- Apps with built-in calibration (they offset their own readings, but don't actually calibrate the system sensor data)

- The settings menu for "display" (I don't see any calibration related options)

So those ^ aren't the solution :(
[HTC Sensation] biggary:
Why is everybody interested in jumping to jellybean???? lol, for anyone reading this, this is the best sense free rom on the sensation, its clean tidy, and runs without bugs :)
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
I agree entirely. This ROM is rock solid, and serves me fantastically. I use JB on other devices, and I've tried Bruce's JB builds on this phone, but I always come back to ICS (this ROM) on my Sensation.

You'll laugh, but I'll tell you what kills JB on this phone for me. It's the half second delay that it takes to load the search box (or rather "search page") after I hit the search icon from the home screen.

I know 0.5 seconds of delay is a totally first world problem, but you'd be surprised how much it can throw you off if you get it into your muscle memory that searching is a process of:

-> Home Icon -> Search Icon -> Type!

With JB, there's a half-second delay required before typing, while it loads up the fancy new search screen. It's a big enough delay to throw me off, and frustrate me in the moment. Some times I just start typing as if the search bar was loaded instantly (as it is in ICS), which has the result of cutting off my first letter.

One way or another, the JB experience just isn't a enjoyable as the ICS (via this ROM) alternative.

*however*

The lack of a properly calibrated gyro/acceleration is really starting to be a frustration, and it seems like nobody has a clear answer in any of the threads where people have asked about this. I'm kind of blown away by the fact that there isn't a "reset" or "zero" function somewhere in a settings menu. I think iOS devices have such a feature. If moving to JB solves this, I might just live with the worse user experience of JB on this phone, if it means motion settings that aren't slightly skewed.
[HTC Sensation] fr0zenblood75:
I agree this ROM the best for the sensation. Very few bugs, I can only name two. When you select to message someone from the people app nothing gets transfered over to the sms app. And the weird arrow icon in gmail notifications. I just wish they would have gotten fixed that would have made the perfect ROM. Hopefully someone can take over.
[HTC Sensation] rhd-android:
I'm finding that I have some troubles with the Root CA Certs included with this ROM. Stock browser, and Chrome (which I believe share certs) won't connect to HTTPS sites over 3G (work fine over wifi oddly). Firefox (which bundles its own certs, to my knowledge) works just fine.

Is there a decent ROM based on stock, but rooted and with an OC'd kernal?
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Hi, can you elaborate on what you mean in the above? Just trying to get a sense of what gryo/acceleration issues you see in the Rom? I know it used to have some mult-touch issues - but that was all fixed in Sebastian's kernel. I usually come back to this Rom a lot and I use the latest Sebastian kernel and also the Adreno drivers 2.18.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I jumped ship out of curiosity, and was pleasantly surprised with Bruce's jellybean rom. I'm staying, since it's even faster than virtuous, has better battery life, smaller in size so I've got more internal memory, there's no messing about transferring different apps just to get mms working, etc, etc. Bruce's rom seems faultless for me, there's not one thing that doesn't work. And it's still in development too. The only downside in my case was I lost the ability to use the sense keyboard, but perfect keyboard is doing the job nicely. :D
[HTC Sensation] halleycool:
is the front camera working now.. if yes im gonna try it... and you saying better battery than VI... a must get roms
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
Yes! See below :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1782009
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Yep, as said even the front facing camera is working now. I can't think of one thing that isn't working, has better battery life and even has working crt animation. :)
[HTC Sensation] jvnat:
Does it use HD camera and does MHL work on Bruce's ROM?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
All I know is I'm using it at 8mp 16:9, not sure about compression though but they look better than I used to get. I think it's down to shutter speed improvements, etc. And what's mhl?
[HTC Sensation] jvnat:
MHL per wikipedia definition below. Using the right cable (can be bought for less than $10), we can use our Sensation via the microUSB port to output in HDMI. I can connect my Sensation to my TV via HDMI and stream a movie stored on my laptop to the TV.

Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) is a proposed industry standard for a mobile audio/video interface for directly connecting mobile phones and other portable consumer electronics (CE) devices to high-definition televisions (HDTVs) and displays. The MHL standard features a single cable with a low pin-count interface able to support up to 1080p high-definition (HD) video and digital audio while simultaneously charging the connected device. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link).
[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
Hi socali, many thanks for your fantastic work! I use the version adapted by Yank555 for HyperNonSense3.5 Sensation and it's fantastic.

Any chance you could set the Phone shortcut to use the default calling app instead of the stock one? I use exDialer and have it as default, but the Quad Lock shortcut still opens the stock one...

Similarly, would it not make sense to force the messaging shortcut to launch whatever is your default messaging app, instead of hardcoding it to a particular app?
[HTC Sensation] hamzawi:
This Rom is the best HTC Sensation Rom,but hope that we will have new updates

Are there other stable ICS senseless ROMs worth trying?
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
The one below is worth a try, its actually more up to date than virtuous inq and I believe the developer is still updating it. Personally I have moved to Bruce's CM10 it very stable, everything works and it gets updated every few days.

I am currently using HyperNonSense and it is the best ROM I've used on the Sensation. And I've been trying different ROMs for the last year because the stock ROM was awful on my phone!
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
thanks. I'll give HNS a shot then especially since it's more up to date than VI.

And perhaps give Bruce a look as well.

I note that the link for HNS says links to SuperWipe as well as using 4ext.

I have TWRP2 (which seems to sue some routines from 4ext, but with a "bigger" UI.).

Do I need SW or should TWRP2 do the job?
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
Heres a link to VI in case you want to try it, I found it stable with everything working, I keep a nandroid of it just in case. :)

[HTC Sensation] badai:
you are lucky it took 0.5 sec to search. mine just FC. but i'm sticking to JB because my messaging keep crashing on this ROM. between sms and search, i opt for sms and just use browser to search. who need to search their own phone's content anyway, beside using JB make me feel more geeky than using ICS and I always have something to show off.

Anthrax kernel here :)
[HTC Sensation] :
Can I install Bruce's CM10 without S-OFF do you know?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Not sure, might be worth having a search in that thread to find out.
[HTC Sensation] badai:
can we install touch recovery without s-off? if we can, then most probably you can install that ROM. i remember i installed my first few custom rom without s-off.
[HTC Sensation] :
Thanks :good:

I went for CM9 for now.....it's such a shame that VI is not getting anymore updates :(
[HTC Sensation] alphaz1:
when my sensation was still SON and 4ext smartflash enabled, i could install CM10. But if i try to flash a different kernel it will stuck in bootloops, which cannot be fixed with neither full reflash nor nandroid restore. there's an issue with smartflash occasionally not working on some custom ROMs, so if your device is SON and stuck in bootloops, the boot.img needs to be flashed manually using fastboot command prompt. out of the roms i've tried, only ViperS, ARHD and Elegancia didn't produce this problem. HNS, CM10 and PA all got stuck and needs fastboot to flash the boot.img properly. in the end, SOFF is worth the minor effort if you like to flash ROMs on frequent basis e.g. CM10 nightlies. I followed the wire trick steps and succeeded in the first attempt.
[HTC Sensation] :
That's what I ended up doing more or less. Installed CM9 with CWM (full wipe first), yes it bootlooped so I flashed boot.img via ADB and it fixed it immediately. Then flashed GAPPS from CWM and all good.

I really do NOT have the patience to sit there for hours with a paperclip trying to do Junoptbear S-OFF though ;)

Shame cos I really loved VI but was getting left behind on android versions

WiFi Hotspot not working

Guys I don't seem to find similar issues to mine but unfortunately WiFi Hotspot with VI 4.0.2 is not working with my HTC Sensation.

Here is what I did

1- flashed firmware 3.32 (as recommended)

2- booted into CWM recovery

3- formatted all partitions except sdcard

4- installed VI

5- booted and set up with my google account

6- activated WiFi hotspot

7- connected with my laptop

8- wifi connection works ok, I can ping the gateway (the phone)

9- but packet do not seem to be routing correctly: pinging any web site times out (it does resolve the DNS, but no response from host)

10- traceroute to any web site shows that packets get lost right after the first hop (the phone)

11- tried to reconfigure the hotspot settings with different IP subnet, same result.

12- tried with firmware 3.33, same result

Any idea?

Many thanks!

Forgot to say: WiFi hotspot works really well with AndroidRevolutionHD on my phone. And it seems to be exactly the same application (well... the configuration and activation application) as on VI. So I assume it's not a HW/firmware problem...
[HTC Sensation] halleycool:
my wifi hotspot works perfectly.. try using different type of security... WEP or try disable wifi security first...
