Hi folks, finally got round to making 10 posts so can finally post here :-)

First up, many thanks and much respect to rmk40 and the Virtuous guys for producing this great ROM.

There's a couple of things I don't get though- first, why are so many people banging their gums about having parts of Sense included on this ROM?

This is clearly advertised and offered as a SENSELESS ROM. Virtuous are offering another ROM with Sense on it so why would you want to keep asking for bits of HTC Sense on this one too? I really like the purity of straight Android, I like the idea of the Galaxy Nexus but I prefer the hardware of the HTC Sensation, this ROM allows me to have both and from what I can see there are plenty of people following this thread who feel the same.

Patience is a virtue and a little patience will I'm sure be rewarded by a fantastic, and SENSELESS end result from these guys- so why hassle them into putting in other stuff to get quick fixes now?

Second thing, given that we are all installing the same ROM on the same hardware, I don't understand why some people are having so many problems? The Virtuous guys have done a great ROM and some great installation instructions to go with it. I've been re-flashing loads of times, not had a single bad one yet and that's putting Virtuous ICS on my Sensation and on my Desire too using dk_zero-cool's ICS/CM9 ROM.

Don't know how other people are doing it but each flash I do the following, using ClockworkMod Recovery:

After reading the instructions carefully :-)

1. Create nandroid back-up.

2. Wipe Data.

3. Wipe cache partition.

4. Wipe Dalvik cache.

5. Wipe Battery Stats.

6. Format \System partition.

7. Flash ROM zips.

8. Fix permissions.

9. Reboot system.

Maybe this will be of use to someone else....

Cheers.

I don't understand the people crying about sense. Its still sense underneath so why not use the stability if its there. The update fixes the only gripes about this rom I had. The signal bars. And its crisper. If you want to be an aosp "enthusiast" go run a straight aosp rom. Oh wait it doesn't work nearly as good as this.... Lol.
[HTC Sensation] NetSoerfer:
Hey rmk40, great work, VI2 makes my Sensation feel smoother than ever before, it feels like it's been given a couple of additional CPU cores. Absolutely amazing.

Unfortunately, this doesn't really solve the problem. It wasn't only the SystemUI that was blurry, I'm noticing it in a couple of other places as well, like the New and Search button in the SMS/MMS app, the icons on the Power Management widget and the Dialer buttons [edit] as well as notifications [/edit]. See the screenshots below:
[HTC Sensation] stonegroover:
I can understand the Signal Bars fix, although it's not the end of the world not having them, the radio signal still worked- I think people can get a little too concerned with signal bars anyway, which are known to 'speak with forked tongue' on pretty much any phone.

It's the inclusion of Beat Audio I'm a little concerned with. I'm an AV engineer and the Beats idea that it's as the music was meant to be is absolute bull****. If you want to hear it as the artist intended then the EQ must be perfectly flat with perfect even frequency response. The iPhone always has, and still does offer pretty much that (only reason I ever owned a couple really). The Galaxy Nexus S has a Wolfson DAC and great audio but the GN doesn't (I looked into it).

HTC generally have very good audio, high quality DACs etc and if you go to gsmarena.com you'll see some very extensive reviews with data/graphs to back it up. The Sensation has good audio, pretty good and even freq response, low stereo crosstalk with headphones plugged in etc but the Sensation XE while having the same hardware offers a very different sound- basically the Beats Audio 'enhancement' is just an EQ profile, similar to most R&B style presets on other devices. While this might work with their own headphones, when you plug in some other decent, quality headphones (I use Beyer Dynamic) or you plug into an external amplifier you'll just get a massively over heavy bass sound. Unfortunately, even with the Beat Audio supposedly switched off, the sound was still the same and the Beats Audio could not actually be disengaged, it affected the sound of the phone no matter what, which really put the reviewer (and me) off the phone.

Also, I could never get my IMAP and Exchange accounts to work properly with Sense Mail, I know plenty of others who've had the same problems. Using AOSP, they always work first time everytime.
[HTC Sensation] k8sh:
I did a supercid for someone after the fact so to speak. Flashed the correct firmware from the op, rebooted, deleted the pg58img file then went on flashing the from via recovery after wipes of course.

Just extract the mms apk then place in system/app. Rename the file to com.Android.mms.apk.. make sure to create a backup of original mms apk as well before anything else.
[HTC Sensation] rawdealer:
This two apps would be great ;)

[HTC Sensation] xanderdad:
Even though I am an AOSP junkie, this themed sense notification bar is quite nice. The upgrade was well worth it. I was happy to see the AOSP settings.apk still in place.

I also tested the wifi tether work around with Barnacle posted in the AOSP fix thread, and it does work.
[HTC Sensation] taffypride:
+1 on this. A ICS themed version of a working Sense Statusbar would be amazing, even with an ICS themed Sense dropdown bar...

I would help if I knew where to even start.....
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
I dont know why people say things are blurry.....nothing is blurry here ....or i dont know the defenition of IT but everything is really sharp on my phone ....or am i missing something here ??
[HTC Sensation] V1ViD:
So glad you went with the themed sense bar instead.
[HTC Sensation] NetSoerfer:
I posted a couple of screenshots a short while ago:

Compare these to the screenshots below, this is how the dialer and the widget look on a Galaxy Nexus:

[edit] replaced the dialer screenshot with the CM9 Dialer posted by beady_uk [/edit]

You should see a pretty clear difference in sharpness there.
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
I know but everything is sharp on my phone i will try to upload some pictures from my phone then u will see :)
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
Here is a screenshot from my phone dialer

Edit: on my phone it is sharp...on the pic a little blurry :)
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
everything is sharp here too...I have zero blur~~
[HTC Sensation] nba1341:
Can anyone tell me what weather and clock widget that is please
[HTC Sensation] NetSoerfer:
Beautiful Widgets SuperClock 4x2 Widget, go to Settings, Appearance Settings, Super Clock-Skins and from the Featured Skins list, get the "Ice Cream Sandwich" skin.

(There are somewhere between 5 and 399 ways to download skins on Beautiful Widgets, most of which are not for that particular widget and won't let you download that skin, hence the step-by-step explanation :))
[HTC Sensation] lyrical1278:
Because if we wanted sense, then we would flash a SENSE rom. People go for a senseless experience based upon what is advertised.

Just like me saying I don't understand the gripe about the signal bars. Its miniscule and basically something based on preference and nitpicking against a rom that was already great.

As for the AOSP rom, runs great for me maybe because I don't cry bug over features I don't use.
[HTC Sensation] beady_uk:
T9 Dialer

If anyone is interested here is the CM T9 dialer "contacts.apk"

I used ES file explorer to install

Navigate to /system/app

rename com.android.contacts.apk to com.android.contact.apk.bak (so you can roll back if needed)

Copy the attached contacts.apk and set the permissions RW-R-R

I also rebooted and wiped cache and dalvik cache just to be sure.

Your phone and contacts icon from the homescreen/dock will disappear but just re-add them after a reboot.
[HTC Sensation] DanOMac:
This rom is near perfect now apart from the ICS issues everyone is suffering and the darn lock screen when ringing issue keep up the good work

Ice Cream Sandwich is hear !!!
[HTC Sensation] dellybelly:
I'd like to know this too! All my pics are on Picasa :)
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
is it possible to get this working on the sense version of virtuous?
[HTC Sensation] deronjp:
Does anyone have mms working? I'm tmo. Apns set and mms is still a no go any tips?
[HTC Sensation] beady_uk:
Im not 100% sure but seeing as this is a sense based rom anyway...... it 'should' work.

You might need to delete/rename the sense dialer and the people app?

Make a nandroid and and give it a try.
[HTC Sensation] mgear356:
hey rmk40, damn good rom.. you did a much better job than myself doing the senseless mod.

Anyways I tried to add back HTC lock screen by flashing it over but I will not be able to boot into the phone.

May I request for a flashable zip to revert to HTC lock screen please?
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
ya i tried, it looks like there are 3 different files related to dialer and contacts that i can see... it doesn't work so far... it would be really nice to get this working though
[HTC Sensation] EricDET:
Not knowing if I currently have service isn't a preference its a necessity ... Miniscule to you is a big deal to the vast majority of people... Especially with T-Mobile.... Lol.
[HTC Sensation] lindahl85:
I was just going to make a request for that dialer in this rom :) Is it the same that comes from this? It looks like it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1405535

Wipe was not needed for me so far :)
[HTC Sensation] palosjr:
I unzipped the file.

Extracted the mms.apk within.

Renamed the mms.apk file on my phone in system/app/ to mms.apk.bak

then moved the downloaded mms.apk over to

/system/app/
[HTC Sensation] beady_uk:
I didnt take it from that rom but yeah it should be the same. See screen shot on this post
[HTC Sensation] zerozoneice:
@rmk: any chance to get the AOSP camera up and running?

[HTC Sensation] eggyenergy:
Is there any way to add the crt out animation:D?
[HTC Sensation] Freaknik:
Yea I got mine working, thanks looks good.
[HTC Sensation] DeoreDX:
Looks great with the sense notification bar. I'm with the group that doesn't quite get the backlash towards the sense bar when it makes things work and looks better. When the AOSP systemui comes that works right I will gladly take it but until then I will enjoy a fully functioning phone.
[HTC Sensation] beady_uk:
You could try to replace the sense dialer with the aosp dialer from this rom (Attached)

You will need to delete/rename the sense dailer and you might need to rename this attached apk to whatever the sense dailer was called.

Just an idea
[HTC Sensation] Freaknik:
I was able to add these and get them working. But when you go to the now playing screen Music FC's. But the music player is much improved!

RMK please consider adding this new ICS music player without the FC on now playing screen. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] lindahl85:
Requests and complains

Is it possible for me to add this to my rom or do you want it too? I don´t remember if it comes from Megadroid or OnceIce, but is it so easy so i just can pick a apk file and add it myself?

Power Menu + Pin code dialer

A built in screenshoot function from power menu would be nice.

I must also make a little complain. I prefer the previous version of this screen.

I would also like to have the possibility to always play sounds even if BT is connected.
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
iv got contactsprovider.apk, htccontacts.apk, and htcdialer.apk, those are the ones i can see that might be related, there are no com.android etc ones, which would you recommend renaming?
[HTC Sensation] Sir0:
getting stuck on bootloader

okay i downloaded 2.0.1. and new firmware. i upgrade the firmware and i then wiped everything on it and then installed. 2.0.1. rebooted and then it gets stuck on bootloader. i waited 10 mins and nothing?
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Pull the battery and then restart the phone. Mine also did this this AM when I flashed 2.0.1. Working fine now.
[HTC Sensation] Sir0:
i did and it keeps doing that same thing. i wondering if i need 2.0.0 first but i cant find a thread on it. hmmmm this sucks
[HTC Sensation] CptAwesomeTT:
This rom in conjunction with Mike's latest firmware...is the BEST ICS experience on the Sensation to date, especially if you're not a big fan of Sense. I know because i've tried them all, both here and on other forums.

To make it perfect, have the advanced shutdown menu integrated into normal shutdown prompt. Also, the in-call screen and unlock to answer changed/fixed and that's it guys.
[HTC Sensation] taffypride:
any fix with not being able to sign into Gmail? Without it, I obviously can't get into the Market or even get my Contacts restored back to the phone.... :(

edit: might just be a google thing as I can't add my Gmail account to my spare phone....
[HTC Sensation] scoobasteves:
OK, so I work for a regional carrier and here is a question I have based on 1.4.2.

On our stock sensation I can hit 8 mbps on our 4g data. On my rooted sensation (have had it for a month and have only had this rom on it) I'm topping out at 2 mbps when using speedtest.

I'm going to upgrade to 2.0 and see if that fixes the issue but was curious if possibly anyone else had this come up. Like I said earlier as of right now I'm on 1.4.2 with the sebastian kernel that was included.
[HTC Sensation] rawdealer:
It looks nice....I don't like white UI :)

and also this T9 dialer :)

[HTC Sensation] anurbanlegend:
No you shouldn't need 2.0.0 first. Did you delete the firmware off of your sd card after flashing it? That way you can get back into recovery and wipe and try flashing again. Make sure to check the MD5 of your download to make sure you have a good file.
[HTC Sensation] cleobis:
So, anybody knows if this is possible? I'm tempted to try and add them, though I know very little of ROM creation, just the basics...Those two items are the final thing to make this ROM perfect....well...almost :D
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Did you full wipe then if not coming from 2.0.0? If you didnt, you need to do a full wipe. I use ARHD super wipe script. Go back to recovery, full wipe (not just cache and dalvik) and then reflash 2.0.1

Matt
[HTC Sensation] beady_uk:
Ok the contacts.apk i posted should replace htccontacts and the com.android.phone.apk should replace htcdialer.

Just rename your files to htccontacts.apk.bak and htcdialer.apk.bak

rename the files from me to htccontacts.apk and htcdialer.apk

Try that and if it doesnt work i will upload the contactsprovider from this rom to try
[HTC Sensation] peewster:
Kernel can't be overclocked in 2.0.1, default htc kernel, any updates about this ? Sebastian's kernel for android 4.0.3 has only working 2D on gpu as i read his thread. Any updates about this ?
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
I have sebastians kernel installed clocked at 1.5....and works perfect ...No reboots at all
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
With the new modded sense notification bar, can we get a themed APM? :D
[HTC Sensation] peewster:
With 2D ?
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
ya sorry these don't work , i think there may be too many things dependent on them with the sense version of virtuous, not sure theres a way to get them to work ....
[HTC Sensation] Shidapu:
Im just wondering, as our ICS roms are running with HTC Framework, is it possible to add the Friendstream widget from Sense into stock ICS launcher? :) Would be pretty cool if it worked..
[HTC Sensation] tbalden:
Htc widgets need htc launcher on ics too, as always.

sent from HTC Doubleshot pyroiced
[HTC Sensation] beady_uk:
ok mate. Try replacing your htccontactsprovider with this.

Rename this to htccontactsprovider.apk and rename yours to htccontactsprovider.apk.bak

After that im all out of idea mate. Sorry
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Dude you done an EXCELLENT job at this rom. This is pure aosp. To the people that don't know any better. Save yourself from getting a galaxy nexus. It wouldn't be any better or different than this rom. Its not necessarily my style. But it is aosp.. always a good option to have.. so once again thanks for your work..
[HTC Sensation] k4r1m:
edit: oops didnt read... forget me
[HTC Sensation] BearIV:
In lockscreen, is it possible to get HTC camera launched?:confused:

Now it just unlocks to home screen
[HTC Sensation] steini81:
Thank you for this great rom! There is only one thing i'm missing. In the AOSP there is a screenshot option when you longpress the powerbutton (like you want switch of the phone) but here its Airplainmode. Is there a chance to get this screenshot feature or is it better to install a 3rd party app?

Good job guys thanks for your hard work.

Two noobish questions though :)

1) Is there any easy .zip out there to give me battery percentage (dont want a widget as want to replace stock battery icon).

2) Can I add another home screen as I've run out!?
[HTC Sensation] lyrical1278:
Are there any changes to the build.prop from 1.2 to 1.3? If not then I can just back up my current build.prop and copy it over to this one. Save me the trouble of having to type in those tweaks that helped make 1.2 run so smooth for me.
[HTC Sensation] Niekjuh:
Maybe you could share your build.prop?

I'm still @ MIUI rom now because the first ICS releases aren't smooth enough for me, so i'm wondering what tweaks you used?

i got a noob Question, if i wanna update to v2.0.1 and want to do a wipe would i have to reflash the P.zip file onto my SD card first again or would i just flash the v2.0.1 ROM? the reason i ask its because wanna do a wipe and flash the MMS fix for small MMS after the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
Just flash :)
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
By P.zip I assume you mean the PG58IMG.zip that contains the ICS firmware.

When you say upgrade, is that 1.4.x to 2.0.x or 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 ?

If it's already 2.0.0 and you installed the correct firmware for 2.0.0 then just Superwipe and install the Zip. NO need to re-install the Firmware.

If you have any other firmware then you need the firmware associated with 2.0.0/2.0.1 (which is based on ICS 4.0.3).
