I completely agree. I have tried nine or ten ROMs so far. I detest Sense's lack of anything fresh, so VI is right on the money.

I use Go Launcher with a few mods. My little side ROM test: see how fast the phone rotates. No competition against VI, for sure! :)

Everyone have a great weekend.

I emphatically second the recommendation of GoSMS. It is a great product, even more so if the recipient has it. Be sure to check out the automated backup features of the app.

(No, I am not affiliated with them :) )

Hi,

When I get the text message, the green LED only blink for a short period of time, 1 or 2 min, then stop blinking.

I'd like it keeps blinking. How could I do that please?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
Look for an app? This ROM is supposed to be AOSP themed so that kind of customisation isn't included.
[HTC Sensation] einrae214:
One question I have is does anybody else have a problem with there screen timeout ? I mean, If I set mine for a min or thirty seconds it won't turn off by itself. The lights on the screen deems but then brightens back up so I always have to hit the power button to turn off the screen when I done with it.

It gets great battery life.
[HTC Sensation] dsymbol:
Hi boomboomer, I'm using Go SMS Pro & all the Notification setting of the app looks fine.

The LED does blink when I get the text msg, but it only blinks for a short period of time. It should keep blinking shouldn't it?
[HTC Sensation] Paulenski:
If you turn on desknotifier in accessibility, with sociali half ring, trying to unlock causes soft reset. This happened after i installed the app and it went to the accessibility to turn on. I turned my screen off and wanted to check something else, soft reset. I made sure it wasn't kernel or broken quad lock install. Turned off desknotifier and it works fine.

I would like to use this feature, I'm on a computer a lot.

I mostly agree. I myself can't switch from VI to AOSP for my phone. But OS'S has another advantage. Recently a Backdoor was discovered hidden in a manufacturer's build. Even that CarrierIQ thing was found in our model.
[HTC Sensation] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Not sure if I got you. OS's? Android and .. Android? This backdoor was surely discovered on seeing through the stock roms and not building AOSP rom?

(In your signature the rom name is wrong :-P Not Virtual but Virtuous :D )

@VI Team: There is some little issues with the toogles. If you use 3rd party toggles like SwitchPro, some of the built-in toggles are updated correctly (orientation, vibration, wifi), but the data connection toggle and the brightness control are not (although they were on cm9/OpenSensation). Even if you change the screen brightness through the default settings menu. Can this be fixed?
[HTC Sensation] rgawenda:
I meant OSS vs closed builds. Thanks for the signature error hint

[HTC Sensation] 5ufy9n:
i was just wondering if there's a way to apply the black and white theme like the black infinitum on to the VI ROM like how sp1der to his HyperNonSense and the HyperSensation ROMs...this is so far the best ROM i've come across..if somehow someone's able to help me out with that kind of theming then it'll be the ultimate ROM :D
[HTC Sensation] Kevc44485:
Would be perfect if I didn't have screen touch issues. It clicks things I don't want and zooms on it's own. Sometimes it wont ring. Wifi and GPS turns it self on and turns data off. I get random reboots midcall. I don't get why so many custom roms have so many little issues. The keyboard is off too.
[HTC Sensation] doogoshly:
i haven't had any of those problems myself.

i actually got bored and wanted to try sense 4.0 and other roms and flashed hypersensation, ordroid, and the pkmn one but ultimately came back to this rom. none are as smooth, snappy, and problem free as this one.
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
None of those issues are common to this ROM, either your installation/firmware is corrupt or you have hardware/app issues. I'd suggest superwiping, reflash the firmware and ROM then test before you restore or install any apps. Check the md5 of all files before flashing them.

If it's still the same then revert to stock firmware and ROM to eliminate hardware faults.

lockscreen

I've used viruous in the passed and I was very happy with it.

Unfortunately it was using a themed version of the lockscreen and therefore cerberus didn't work properly regarding a function where it takes a picture when you have too many failed attempts.

Is this fixed in the recent build?
[HTC Sensation] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Actually, no need to reflash other kernels. Also this is not a socalis kernel, but Sebastians. Both kernels, the built-in from v4.0.2 and the one modified by socali, are Sebastians kernels. If you flash the modified one, you will downgrade the kernel.

Afaik socali fixed the max cpu clock to 1,18GHz and lowered some values, so the cpu clocks down earlier, so phone wont become so hot.

The current built-in kernel of v4.0.2 set the max cpu clock to 1,51GHz and the gpu 3d clock to 300MHz (266MHz is the default value). If you want to restore the default clocks, you can use start up scripts (init.d) or flash bricked kernel, which lets you decide which clocks you prefer.
[HTC Sensation] :
Good info ;)

Sadly I cannot flash radio just yet as I am not fully S-OFF. I'll live with it for now.
[HTC Sensation] swift2fly:
i tried faux and it wasnt really working out for me. my phone would over heat and would run GTA3 really poorly. i ran the bricked kernel for the longest, my phone ran great and smooth. love the sweep2wake feature but my phone kept getting warm and would get hot while gaming. so i recently stumbled a "forbidden" kernel and my phone stays cool. i would have to OC my cpu to 1.8ghz on performance to get it to warm up. in a benchmark test, this current kernel performed the best. now my sd card's write speed also increased, or i should say, reads correctly now.

When I try to send mms' from the camera app to multiple people, I get "unfortunately,.messaging has stopped" alll the time. I try resending it and get the same bug. Already happens when I try to forward messages. It's rendered my mms functionally useless...
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Have you considered trying a different SMS/MMS app like Go SMS Pro ? You can even remove mms.apk from the ROM (or uninstall it using Titanium Backup) an let Go SMS handle sending ...

Might help, sure worth a try !

Hello guys,

is USB Tethering possible? If so, how does one turn it on? I mean, USB Connection Dialog is now AOSP-like ... In the HTC Version there was a toggle.

If you look back a few pages, socali posted a link to be able to flash the sense USB options back on.

Gallery issues

So a new issue has appeared.

My gallery app is all of a sudden forceclosing anytime i try to access my cloud images from any app that isnt the gallery. I can view them just fine in the gallery though.

This is a very new development that occurred after restoring a backup of VI after i tried CM9 (for about 5 minutes, and I had to come back.)

I have tried many things to rectify this issue, as Id love to be able to MMS my cloud images again, as well as use them in homescreen picture frames.

This is what I have tried:

• I have tried to fix the permission via Rom Manager

• I have tried to fix the permissions via recovery

• I have done a clean install of V.I. 4.0.2 (cleared dalvic, cache, data beforehand)

• I have done a second clean install.

• i have cleared the app data and restarted.

None of this has worked. I figured a clean install would. The gallery that comes with the rom has never worked for me when it comes to cloud images but i found a gapps from 4.29.2012 that updated my gallery to be able to sync with the cloud. This worked for just shy of a month as this functionality failed last night.

Any thoughts?
[HTC Sensation] Vineares:
Format sd card and try again.

Give QuickPic from the market a try, it does just that and loads more and I find it that good that I've thrown stock ARHD Gallery from my ROM and use this instead :D

JP.
[HTC Sensation] Jutt69:
Are .nomedia files not working for you?
[HTC Sensation] DarkPrinceByWWW:
The problem is QuickPic is the loading thumbnails at the app start, I mean how it is doing it. It jumps like crazy and rescan files although there are no new files. The stock gallery is not delivering such a disturbed behavior. I gives you the same feeling like the lags on switching between homescreens or other things, which should actually be smooth and fine. Thats the main reason against QuickPic, although I prefer to see the notification bar (QuickPic) instead of having the gallery app in full screen (default app).
[HTC Sensation] dus1988:
I fixed it with a third clean install. Thank you though

[HTC Sensation] dus1988:
Make a new folder that begins with a period.

I.e. ".pics"

This will hide the photos inside and the only way to view them is to use a file explorer while showing hidden files.

Hello all,

I'm kind of a noob at installing custom ROMs. I've only flashed factory images to my Galaxy Nexus using fastboot.exe, but I am a long shot from being well versed at flashing ROMs (hence this post).

I have a Sensation on TMo US, with Sense (stock and unrooted). I have been following this thread and have managed to S-OFF so far. I was going to flash CWM next and then root it. I was then going to download the Virtuous Inquisition ROM, but noticed that I also need to update the Firmware from here.

This is where I get lost/afraid of bricking my device.

I have a few questions to start (and I know this is a really long thread, so if these questions have already been answered, I do apologize. I would really appreciate it if someone could point me to the right post, if that's the case).

How do I know what version of the Firmware to download? I tried to find out what version of Sense I have by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All and I see that there are 2 apps here named HTC Sense. One version says 3.0.21173... and another that says 2.0.21171... - so what version do I have?

How do I find the correct PG58IMG.zip file for my CID? I found a post here that had a version which I believe might be right, but I don't know for sure. Btw, what exactly is the PG58IMG for? I've tried googling and searching the forums, but can't find anything that explains what it is.

Do I need SuperCID?

I guess those are enough noob questions for now. I'm hoping someone could be awesome enough to help me wade through all the information to figure out how to do this right :)

As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks!
[HTC Sensation] boulder_boy:
This link here should show you everything you need to do to upgrade your firmware:

It is a guide for flashing firmware followed by ARHD but you can follow the firmware bit (post #1) and then flash Virtuous :)

It's a very comprehensive guide so any related questions you have should be answered as well. Take your time and make sure you understand everything :)
[HTC Sensation] skeletonfriend:
Thanks for a great ROM. The most stable one I have tried so far.

Are there any plans for integrating DSP Manager and the Black Mod (Black SMS and so forth) in any upcoming release?

Does anyone know how to install these on the current version? (and where to find them)

[HTC Sensation] dus1988:
Themes

So Im curious as to why no one has bothered to make any themes for this rom. It seems every other rom has themes yet, I cannot find any for this one. Is everyone on VI perfectly happy with the black and blue?

I personally am in the process of trying to learn how to theme, but it is pretty complicated. I understand the concept of using 7zip and using photoshop (i am a graphic designer by trade) but I am led to believe this will only change icons not text color in the systemUI.apk

I will continue my pursuit in learning how to theme, so that I can theme this rom. I have tried AOSP (CM9, & Virtuous Quatro) but I really love this roms stability and functionality. Any tips would be greatly appreciated or a link to a good resource.

Is there anything in particular that would stop me from having free reign over the themeing of inquisition? It just seems weird that this rom would have no themes, as it is so stable and so popular.
[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
I personally am OK with the theme colors. But if I had a choice of themes I'd def. Pick something else. I'd love for there to be themes and I searched around and couldn't find any so I guess I just settled for this lol. On a side note, how did u like quattro compared to this rom??

[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
Personally I don't really care about the eye candy, function and battery life are far more important. You spend so little time looking at the system menus etc so why bother?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I think the black and blue looks great personally. The only people I thought may want to theme it are xe owners since the buttons, speaker grille and camera ring are red.
[HTC Sensation] dus1988:
I too think that the black and blue looks great. I would like to be able to switch it sometimes tho. For instance, I am an avid miami dolphins fan.

I.E. Come season, Id really like to use the miami dolphins live wallpaper with an orange theme.

Is there going to be any updates to this rom? In terms of performance and stability. Maybe rebase to the new t-mobile base which seems smoother and quicker than the one HTC released.
