Gallery settings

Hi there, first of all this is a great ROM and works pretty much perfectly in every way. Just noticed that I cannot access the settings menu in the stock Gallery app, it changes screen as if its going to display a menu but its just blank. I flashed the latest version of the ROM (4.0.2) and had searched and seen that someone had repackaged the ROM to fix the issue in a previous version. Has anyone got a fix for this, could I flash the latest version of the google apps package?

Thanks,

G

Yes, i think Chrome is still buggy. I've tested 3x using chrome at 100%, all results showed decreasing battery % at faster rate (100%-80% in half an hour). Kinda weird.

Oh regarding the battery test with BetterBatteryStats, i haven't test it with faux kernel yet, since i repeated the same test and the result was different. It last longer this time.
[HTC Sensation] Natural_born_chilla:
Hey guys,

just wanted to say I'm in the progress of testing other ROMs (e.g. PkMn, seems very good so far).

Had some strange bugs while in holidays, creeped me out ... like Swype not working sometimes (could've been WhatsApp, too), GPS fix took very long sometimes, some apps force closing, some minor to major annoyances here and there ... When not in holidays, everything worked like a charm :confused:

I really loved this ROM for a very long time, but I think it's time for me to move on...

(Don't want to be an asshat, just my personal experience. And, yes, I already bought the dev some beers :) )

Hi all, been using this rom for quite a while now and think it is great, my only problem is i can't seem to import my contacts from the sd card it goes through the process then crashed and throws up an error. Can anyone help.

Many thanks
[HTC Sensation] walle4893:
Not quite sure if it was ROM's issue, but every time I turn off the phone and turn it on, the soft-key backlights wouldn't light up no matter what. It works just fine if I reboot instead of turning off.

Any solutions?
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
I think you'll find that rmk40 has changed interests to his new phone, a One X, so I doubt your respectfully phrased request will do you any good.
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
Cool thanks, will give it a try.

Worked a treat thanks.
[HTC Sensation] mrquidz:
Just installed faux123 kernel latest and will let you guys know the battery performance.

Also, i'm thinking of adding takeCONTROL v2 mod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684552 with this kernel.

Anyone has tested it yet? Kindly please share with us here. :)
[HTC Sensation] sid0101:
So for my fellow Virtuous users, what rom have you guys moved on to, if any?
[HTC Sensation] mrquidz:
What do you mean? I'm still new with this rom, perhaps only a week. Maybe it's too late for me already? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] sid0101:
No, this was a great rom. However, there are minor bugs here and there. And I believe one of the developers for the rom has moved onto his new One X. I've had this rom on since February or March as my daily driver. I refuse to flash roms frequently. Having said that, I believe that there have been other developments on Sensation scene that have a better finished result. I'm just curious as to what other have moved on to...
[HTC Sensation] cashman0712:
I agree. But, really this is the only truly stable AOSP ROM there is for the Sensation. Though once OpenSensation becomes more stable, I will definitely be moving to that ROM. Or AOKP...
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Oh OK.. it does that to me too sometimes.. what I do is type in colorize widget then go down to more by this author.. maybe I spelled it wrong.. oh so u just using the app.. I Need it to look at timeline without opening apps... Worth the look trust me

Hey I'm still having problems sending mms. Seems like the message will go through but no pic is attached. My apn is exactly as posted earlier in this thread, I've installed the ics app in the fixes thread without any help, and I've changed the file sizes in root explorer and still nothing. I'm at my wits' end. Am I missing something?
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
wizz widget....got it :-)

Trying it now...Found out that FriendStream will not work without HTC Contacts w/ Facebook & Twitter Sync..So i'll wait for that. Let you know later how it works. Thanks.

**UPDATE**

Wizz wasn't for me..Couldn't do it for that...So I installed PEEP and facebook and friendstream together from Sense version and works just fine. Thanks.

For those having issues with MMS please flash the .zip below and that should fix it. Click thanks if I helped you please.
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
MMS FIX!

ok so i believe i have found the fix for the mms messaging...

compair these 2 sections of the xml file for the mms

this is the non working xml file for the ics rom

found here \system\customize\MNS\

This is the working values from the previous roms that worked when sending mms

when i changed this on the rom mms messaging worked.

BTW tested this and currently can send and recieve mms perfectly now.
[HTC Sensation] Chronzy:
Really pleased with the battery life with this rom. This screenshot is after being unplugged before bed last night and moderate use today. Couple hours of BT and GPS, some web surfing and a few txts.

My question is whether everyone's display is eating as much battery as mine? Seems abnormally high...
[HTC Sensation] Sleepytime28:
Yeah that's normal.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yep, screen is the majority battery user for me too. I think it's because of the way Sense breaks down usage.
[HTC Sensation] rawdealer:
OK I agree with this, I was afraid that we will lose AOSP components. :)

btw....this os my battery life at normal use, and it's good for me :)

Sent from my S-OFF'd Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Chronzy:
What's more impressive about my battery life is i'm running the phase beam lwp 24/7. And i've never been able to run a lwp and maintain the smoothness this rom has. Finally no real performance hit, and doing it all on 1 cpu!

Sense/AOSP apks?- The sense camera is a must. Most everything else i'm either fine with aosp or use 3rd party apps. I like the goal of trying to keep it as aosp as possible (heh..aaap?,3Xp?) except where aosp falls short.
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Could someone post the Jellyfish wallpaper for me? Many thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
Yep, that gave me what I needed.

It looks like there's a dependency on the HTC's calendar provider (we are using AOSP) app in order to be able to use Mail with Exchange. This is the backend for the calendar, not the calendar app itself.

I can package it up as such but it'll mean calendar data needs to be wiped after it's installed.
[HTC Sensation] Erik_18:
This is and amazing ROM, i'm very pleased with the battery live!

the next updates for this ROM, consumes the same battery, or more?

Thank you!

[HTC Sensation] mrquidz:
What an interesting comment. I'll take note on that.

I've a question, since i'm using faux123 kernel with setcpu, is it okay to change the min from 384 to 192? will it has any effect on the speed performance or the battery life?

I'm still new to this, any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

This is really an aosp based rom. It is sense based. I've moved to open sensation running bricked kernel. Seems pretty stable to me.

I expect the battery in his One X has died!

Seriously though, this ROM does everything I need, it's an essential tool for me so I have no interest in trialling different ROMs. This is as close as I can get to fully functional AOSP with the sensation so I'm happy sticking with it, excellent battery life included.

Hi everyone,

Phone is Sensation XE.

ROM is Virtuous Insquisition 4.0.2 (using kernel that comes with the ROM).

I think i'm a moderate user. I dont surf or play games that much. I do text/chat quite a bit. However, my battery can never last a whole day.

by 7 or 8pm, i usually have to turn off Data, WiFi, GPS ect to save battery.

Please advice,

Thanks

Give faux123 kernel a try ! For your usage style I think it will very well suit your needs !

Here is his thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216197

Here a direct link to his most current official kernel : http://faux.androidro.ms/Pyramid-ICS-sense-007u.zip (don't use 007u_r2 on VI !! and there is a 008 upcoming soon, too)

You might also consider indenpendantly using a tool like JuiceDefender from Play Store.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] mrquidz:
(don't use 007u_r2 on VI !! and there is a 008 upcoming soon, too)

Well, i'm using 007u_r2 currently. anything that i miss?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Yep, r2's init.post_boot.sh will execute init.d scripts, and so will VI at boot, so everything gets executed twice.

If all is well, shouldn't be too much of a problem, but might in some configs... and anyway is not the way it should be.

The kernel itself is exactly the same foor 007u and 007u_r2, only the script was changed !

In faux's 008b1 the init.post_boot.sh is already corrected, so no big deal from here on.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] mrquidz:
i see. Noted that. However, everything is still fine here and i'll post any problem arises later.

Oh and, so far the kernel with changing the min to 192 works great! =p will give it a try for few days to see how it'll perform. Thx yank555
[HTC Sensation] crimsonedge03:
Which kernels do I use with this ROM - AOSP kernels or Sense ones?
[HTC Sensation] cashman0712:
I have sort of a funny problem. My phones has been on for over 9 hours, and it still says I have 100% battery life o.O. I removed chrome as it was draining a lot of battery, but wow lol. I tried refreshing it too and it says it is 100% still. I highly doubt it, but I find this to be a funny problem haha
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
It is a Sense based ROM, so you will need a Sense kernel (even if Sense is stripped off).

JP.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Give it a few cycles, I suppose it's just a calibration issue... If not, you'll have to get behind the secret of it and let us know, i'd very very interested to have such a little drain, too :D

JP.
[HTC Sensation] dsymbol:
Thank you JP.

just installed your recommended kernel from the link you posted.

& about to download JuiceDefender.

I will report back about batter performance with new kernel.

Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] winsome:
This is definitely one of the best ROMS out there. Slow Sense roms are nothing compared to this. I'm surprisingly getting nice battery life on this as well.

Thanks a lot for this awesome AOSP rom.
[HTC Sensation] trident167:
This is an awesome ROM. Its fast, very stable and the battery life is great. Flash Faux's kernel and battery life will give you a few extra hours. Wouldn't change anything here.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Been using this great rom since inception (tried others but kept coming back).

I've flashed a few of Seb's kernels, so do I need to run fauxs kernel "reset" before flashing 007u? Also, is there an md5 for 007u?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
As far as I know a reset is no longer needed, but can't speak out of experience, this I just read as I've used faux from day 1 on VI.

I don't have an MD5 unfortunately.

Faux officially announced 008b2, check his thread for details.

Hi JP,

Last night, I downloaded & installed Faux v007 & JuiceDefender with "Balanced".

Today is the first day on the new kernel, I think I used the phone less than yesterday, but battery drained faster.

I must be doing something wrong here.

Please advice,

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I found juicedefender used more power than without when I tried it, I also didn't have much benefit on faux kernel either. I've not tried the ics version, but on gingerbread at least, it ran way hotter than any other kernels I'd used. The phone actually got hot to touch.
[HTC Sensation] mabdk:
For me I tried Sebastians and others, and I keep coming back to faux kernel.

With Sebastians kernel this rom was totally unusable for me, tons of crashes etc.

Never had any issue with faux kernel, and the battery life is amazing.

But as we know, the sensation doesn't behave simular from phone to phone. Must be a lot of different h/w versions for this phone :)
[HTC Sensation] walle4893:
I've been seeing people giving credits to faux, even though faux gave me less battery life than sebastian did when I used ARHD. With VI, I flashed Sebastian and still have no issues, the battery life is not that bad.

Would everyone recommend faux to pair with VI Rom ?
[HTC Sensation] dsymbol:
I'm using CPU Tuner & set the Governor to Save battery.

Good idea?

Please advice.

[HTC Sensation] soza971:
The best AOSP rom, good battery life, smoooth, stable but still waiting for a next release last one came out in april :eek: :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well, I for one time thought JuiceDefender was draining, so I uninstalled it and finetuned to get best possible battery life. Then I reinstalled JD (Ultimate with manual config) and battery last way longer (standby obviously since that is when JD kicks in).

Maybe better try to change one thing at a time, uni stall JD for now and use faux for a few days to see how it behaves.

I don't know, for me it's kinda bad. Here i attached mine to compare with.

[HTC Sensation] amitkhas:
Also, after flashing Faux, I noticed that if my battery goes down too quickly, the phone auto shuts off. I tested this by playing a highly intensive game. It eats about 1% per second and heats up the phone to the point where it is nearly untouchable. Is this normal?

Also, I noticed google maps really eats up my battery. It only happened recently after they had an update. It's about 50% of my battery. Is this happening to anyone else? I have wifi and GPS always on. I had this before, and never had battery issues. I also don't use Lattitude.
[HTC Sensation] sly.cooper:
I have been using this from last 2 days. Everything works like a charm and smooth. I am loving it using Go Launcher, Go Locker and rest of the Go * stuff. The only problem that I have is batter life.

[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:

Also here is face unlock working fine.

Before you flash other kernels, flash socalis kernel reset. Not sure, if newest bricked or faux kernel need this reset, but just for the case.

I'm using bricked v1.2 kernel and everything working just fine. Getting about 2-3 hours screen on time on normal usage (wifi, mobile data, exchange+twitter+whats app sync, lots of sms, calls, surfing).

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

Which zip file from the thread do we need to flash?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
You might try to disable GPU overclock. To give it a try, simply run this in a terminal :

echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk

echo 200000000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/max_gpuclk

This will put GPU 2D to 200MHz max. and GPU 3D to 266MHz max. It will save battery and it will reduce heat.

It won't stick on reboot, so there's no harm done, if it doesn't help, just reboot.

If you want to have these stick on reboot, simply use a script in init.d If you don't know how to do it, let me know ;)

BTW I run these settings and have no heat problem and battery life's good :

echo 300000000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk

echo 200000000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/max_gpuclk

Hope this helps, JP.
[HTC Sensation] amitkhas:
How do you use a script in init.d?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well you make a text-file that looks like this :

#!/system/bin/sh
# Disable GPU overclock on faux123

echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
echo 200000000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/max_gpuclk

You name it something like "99disableGPU-OC" and put it in this folder :

/system/etc/init.d

To do this use either a terminal as SU, or a root file explorer (you need to mount system as read-write, it should be an option in the settings of your file-explorer).

Once you've done that, be sure to set the correct permissions (rwxr-xr-x) so the script can be executed at boot.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] amitkhas:
Err, this may be a stupid question...

How do I do it in Terminal as SU?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
To change snything in the /system partiton you need to remount it in read-write, and for that you need to be superuser.

You do the following :

1 - Start a terminal session (you need a proper app for that, I like this one)

2 - type "su" (if you get a superuser prompt, accept)

3 - type "cd /system/etc/init.d" (to get to the correct folder)

4 - type "mount -o remount,rw /system" (to remount /system in read-write)

5 - type "cat > 99disabledGOU-OC" (now you can start typing the script)

#!/system/bin/sh
# Disable GPU overclock on faux123

echo 266667000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
echo 200000000 > /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/max_gpuclk

6 - when done typing the script, hit "CTRL-D" (if the keybord you use does not have a CTRL-key, in some terms you can simulate the CTRL-key with volume down)

7 - type "chmod 755 99disabledGOU-OC" (to set proper permissions)

8 - type "mount -o remount,ro /system" (to remount /system in read-only)

You're done.

JP.

EDIT : Corrected my mistake in the script above.
[HTC Sensation] amitkhas:
Yank555,

Thanks, but it didn't seem to work :( Still runs very hot. I wonder if you try the game as well, if you would experience the large amount of heat.

Game is "Where's My Water"

Play for about 5-10 minutes. Caution, it WILL drain your battery.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Init.d scripts never worked for me either for some reason, so I'm using an app called script manager to execute them automatically on boot instead.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Will try.

Can you validate the changes have been accepted by typing these two line in a terminal :

cat /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/gpuclk

cat /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/gpuclk

You should get this in return :

266667000

200000000

JP.

EDIT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tested, it does indeed get hot while playing (I don't usually do games). It's either the fact that I'm OCed at 1.7GHz or the my GPU is OCed at 300MHz in 3D.

This is not happening with other kernels ? Which other kernel have you tested so far ?

JP.
[HTC Sensation] amitkhas:
The only other kernal I've tried is the VI Stock kernal. It also became very hot, however, it never auto-shutoff like Faux does.

When I validate the validate the changes have been accepted by typing these two line in a terminal :

cat /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-3d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/gpuclk

cat /sys/devices/platform/kgsl-2d0.0/kgsl/kgsl-2d0/gpuclk

I get the following in return:

320000000

200000000
