[HTC Sensation] zero01101:
just checking in with my own observations of slight issues with v4.0.0, running no mods of any kind... installed over 3.5.0 after manually wiping cache, data, and system in cwm touch.

-definitely experiencing the touchscreen weirdness. noticed it first off playing dead space, confirmed on multitouch tester. hold one finger down, press and release a second, presto, no more input registered at all. reflashed a 3.5.0 backup and it's wildly improved (but google play refused to play nice, natch, ergo, back to v4.0.0)

-hadn't experienced the browser/chrome lockups until today, suddenly it's happening constantly. logcat and ddms both took AGES to start returning any information at all, and adb was churning out data hilariously slowly. like others, i also tried underclocking with system tuner down to 1.18ghz and it seems to be helping a bit now, but the first time i tried it, everything locked up as hard as it ever has. that might be due to chrome having been a cached background process that first time as opposed to having the cpu underclock on boot on subsequent tests.

-various apps on the play market report incompatible (i.e. gmail) as has been mentioned

-every app seems to display the "the process %1$a has violated its self-enforced StrictMode policy" when inspected in the running apps list detail view, including ics-only apps like nova launcher.

-confirming the weird midnight force-close; it also seems to crash tasker as well, even if my phone is sleeping at midnight. haven't gotten to do any logcats yet because i get sleepy early :(

-still cant get face unlock to work behind widgetlocker like it did in 3.5.0 :3

otherwise, i'm really enjoying this rom :D
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
Yea i stayed with 3.0 no issues except the call lockscreen.
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Is there anyone who did a full wipe before installing v4.0.0 experiencing issues?

All these issues, from what I've read so far, seem to come from those people who upgraded. I've never experienced many issues before when updating ROMs but that's because I've always done a full wipe. This is the first time I've updated a ROM and not done a full wipe and it's the first time I've experienced real issues.

I came from v3.5.0 to v4.0.0.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] iJchen:
Most of these issues can be solved by installing the ROM after a superwipe, and then a cache wipe. :)
[HTC Sensation] monoxide.tryst:
i did a superwipe, flashed rom, flashed quad lock, and have no issues at all. even battery seems ok
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Ok, I'm going to try super-wipe and see how things go.

First and last time I ever do an 'upgrade'. Should have super-wiped like normal right from the very start. :)
[HTC Sensation] EPgoat:
Are you guys able to access the gallery app after having taken a picture?
[HTC Sensation] Swiissjokr:
I love this ROM & I superwiped before installation, but I tried a FFC call and was told from the person that green was the only thing they could see, even when I switch from front cam to back cam, I could see a quick green screen as I'm switching. is there a fix for this?
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Nope. Known issue. Doesn't work for anyone as far as I'm aware. :)
[HTC Sensation] EPgoat:
Cool deal. Thanks for the quick response
[HTC Sensation] iverson3-1:
Why does my screen stutter when I swipe past the home screen? Does that happen to anyone else? Even when I don't have that many Widgets on my home screen scrolling still isn't smooth. Is it the rom? I really don't think its an app running that background or anything. Am I the only one this is happening to?
[HTC Sensation] socali:
No. The kernel is not related to the MMS issue.

However, you can use any of the popular SMS apps on the market for a much better experience: Chomp, Handcent, GoSMS, etc.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I did when I went from 4 beta to 4 with a full wipe. Initially no problems, but after a day, I experienced the lags in the browser and some apps where the phone would freeze. After like 20 seconds, I used quick reboot to restart some apps and found that a major chunk of memory was freed, approx 150mb+ each time. And after using quick boot to free up memory, the phone would revert to it's buttery goodness. But alas, when using a few apps and then browsing would result in freezes during the browsing session.

Also happened once...during my drive home, I had navi running, then my wife called me. And when I tried to answer, the phone just kept ringing until I did the three finger salute to reboot the phone.

After the reboot, everything was ok. Not sure what happend though.
[HTC Sensation] Wagedroid:
Anyone experiencing lock screen trouble. For instance, if I set the phone to pattern unlock, then lock the phone and wake it up it automatically takes me to pattern, when it should show the lock screen with the white ring first. Hence I don't have to slide the ring to unlock or SMS. I don't like this. Any fix?
[HTC Sensation] socali:
This is a feature of the new lock screen. See my Quad Lockscreen mod here #8175 for different options, including showing the lockscreen when pattern is set.
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
This is purely a UI error, but in the power menu, the icon for reboot is the silent ringer icon, not a reboot icon...

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

Also, I'm having erratic battery readings. For instance, I flashed 4.0 over 3.5 today, without wiping, and after flashing my battery being 98% before the flash, had dropped to 73%. However, it stayed at 73% for HOURS before dropping again. Then it dropped pretty slowly until about 50%, until it plummeted at a ridiculous rate and finally came to rest at 3%. It's been at 3% for nearly 4 hours now and no amount of reboots changes the reading. I'm trying to get it to die so maybe the battery stats will calibrate, but my phone has been off of the charger for about 13 hours now without dying with moderate or light use. Still weird though. I'm not having any touch screen issues at all. I tested with a test app and nothing was amiss. All four touch points registered normally, even after removing a few and adding them back again. I am having issues with the browser hanging though and having to reboot. I have not changed kernels or anything, I'm using whatever settings are default on 4.0. I'll try underclocking like everyone else.
[HTC Sensation] resynx:
Ok I've superwiped and reflashed and this problem is still persisting: I cannot make any music available offline in Google Music, it just gets stuck at downloading the first song or it tells me that I have no connection

Can someone let me know if this is working for you??
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Thanks. I was using GO SMS a long time ago but would much rather stick with the AOSP messaging.

After doing a super-wipe and reinstall of v4, messaging seems to be working ok now anyway. No FC'ing as yet. Time will tell the more I use it though. Sent numerous SMS's and an MMS earlier without any issues so it's a good sign so far.

It seems a little more responsive overall as well. :)
[HTC Sensation] Wagedroid:
Thanx this is great. Will it work with face unlock?
[HTC Sensation] iverson3-1:
Where do I get the overclocked kernel? And what happen to the ad dons this rom had? Like to remove nova add beats audio and get the stock aosp camera?
[HTC Sensation] socali:
Yes, it will. First you'll see the Quad Lockscreen where you can choose what to open, then you'll get the face unlock, and if it cannot recognize you - you'll get the pattern/pin.
[HTC Sensation] overthinkingme:
Socali, I'm getting random vibrating every now and then when the phone has the screen off? I wake the phone and there is no notifications pending.

Did not happen on the 3.5b1 quadlock mod.

Also, the 4.00 and 3.5b1 have a bug where when waking with the volume buttons wakes the phone but also brings up the volume level on screen.

Can't live without the mid though :D
[HTC Sensation] Azerox:
I rly hope that OP keeps this as stock as possible and provides addons like lockscreens, beats by dre flashable zip etc.

Everyone has it own preferences, but for example i only like it clean and stock.
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Agree. This ROM should stay 100% as close to stock/AOSP as possible. I definitely don't want to see Beats implemented. If you want something like Beats, flash it in addition to the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] cinnak:
+1 haven't managed to get it to work either. Tried all common solutions
[HTC Sensation] I AM M07S:
Hey rmk40 is there a fix for the gallery in the camera app... I can't get to the gallery from the camera but only in the latest v4.0

Can anyone help please...
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
It's a known issue. It's been mentioned on almost every page since v4 was released. I'm sure there will be a fix for it in a later release. ;)
[HTC Sensation] jeewee00:
Not working (for me): Over the air updates via ROM Manager

Up to now, my Rom Manager (Premium) was never able to update the ROM using the 'Check for ROM Updates'. It gives no feedback at all when I tap it (no loader, no message, just a tap 'click).

Since the description tells this should be possible and nobody else seems to have this issue, I must have done something wrong. Does anybody have a clue what could be wrong?

I'm aware I'm a noob, but got around updating the ROM's manually. But if I could do this using ROM manager, it would be much easier. Any help is appreciated!
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
It's worth getting Camera ICS+ from the Market, not just because the gallery bug doesn't exist in this version, but because of the ability to choose jpeg quality, video bitrate, silent mode, colour effects, volume keys to take pictures, etc.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

ROM Manager is SO last year! :p

I think most of us are using 4EXT Recovery Touch now, which is far better. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] yauhui:
I've accidentally screwed up while upgrading from 3.0.0, and now it's stuck in a bootloop.

I first used the ARHD superwipe, then I flashed the 3.32 firmware and finally the 4.0.0 ROM. Is there anything I missed?

Also, I'm trying to flash 3.24 FW and restore 3.0.0, but it still bootloops as well. Help!
[HTC Sensation] Bazzaz:
in which version doesn't it work?

I'm running on 3.5 and it works perfectly..
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
If I'd have had the spare time to upload it then I would have, though it shouldn't have been all that hard to have just found it yourself if you'd have looked for it instead of just expecting to be spoon fed. Even if you couldn't find it somehow, you could have just pulled it from one of your older backups or something. Plenty of other people managed to find it for themselves, hence why one of them then uploaded it for you. It's only the same way I got it in the first place, pulled it from the older ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
You're not trying to flash the firmware via recovery 4EXT or clockworkmod are you? You need to power on the phone holding down Power + Vol Down with PG58IMG.zip in the root of your sd-card. This will flash the firmware. Once that's complete, remove the sd-card and reboot into recovery. Insert the sd-card and mount it. Super-wipe and flash the ROM.

I believe it was just v4. I'm not aware of it occurring in previous versions - atleast not v3.x.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Yeah, I think it's because the sense camera tries to open the sense gallery which isn't there, the aosp gallery is a different apk which the sense camera can't open. It used to work on previous versions, but I guess more sense code has been removed in 4.0.0.
[HTC Sensation] verynuclear:
I have a problem that happens with me 2 - 3 times daily.

When answering an incoming call, I can't hear the voice of the caller and the caller also can't hear me.

I think this Rom should be updated.
[HTC Sensation] yauhui:
No. I flashed the firmware through the bootloader, did I get that bit right?

Now even if I reflash the old 3.24 firmware and restore 3.0.0 (edit: after a superwipe of course!), it still bootloops - the HTC logo appears, then the Virtuous logo appears briefly before it restarts again.
[HTC Sensation] k8sh:
Thank you very much for the lecture. Hope you don't fall off your high horse. I would have had the apk if I had a v3.0 in my phone. But if someone already has an apk extracted and wouldn't mind posting, it also doesn't hurt to ask, as long as it is not you obviously.

Thanks Mr gimp for posting the apk. I didn't actually use it myself. I was asking so the others who had worse sms issues would not have to be lectured anymore by that guy.

Sorry. OT.

Back to more important issues. Underclocking the default kernel solves battery issues. I just need to do a couple of charge cycles. But multi touch issues and overall screen unresponsiveness, including the four buttons below screen, are all still persistent. I might just wait for the next update since a few who did a super wipe experience similar issues anyway.

I read your posts but I just browsed so I'm going to ask if you removed the pg file from SD card after flashing fw? If you did not then delete it. Then flash your rom on recovery as usual.

[HTC Sensation] G23 Mr Gimp:
Is it only initially and then rest of the call is fine though? If so, it's a known issue and happens on most calls.

The problem I expereience is a slight delay in being able to hear the caller, or they hear me when I first answer. If I leave it a few seconds and then say "Hello" everything is fine.

Apparently it's an issue that was in the early Gingerbread AOSP ROMs, but was corrected later. Hopefully something can be done to remedy it, but I've learned to just live with it for the moment :)

If it's not being able to hear a call at all, I haven't experienced that yet.

I would advise backing up everything from your SD card, formatting it through recovery and then placing the ROM zip in the root.

Then format all partitions in the phone (not just wiping them) and wipe cache and Dalvik cache. Now try to install. If that doesn't work, we'll ry to think of something else! :)
[HTC Sensation] yauhui:
I didn't delete the files, but I removed my SD card prior to entering the bootloader and only reinserting when I get to the recovery.

It booted up fine just earlier after I superwiped + flash 3.0.0 zip + flash 3.24 firmware + restore 3.0.0 backup from previous install, but I left the phone to do something else and returned to find it bootlooping again :(
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
You don't need to delete the firmware PG file off your root SD card before or after flashing a ROM. Mine was sat on there for days afterwards. It's only an issue if you go back into the bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] k8sh:
You have to delete the pg file once you are done flashing fw in hboot. So you need a PC to do this or another phone. At least try this method first before reformatting everything in your phone.

[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
You weren't simply asking, the way you worded your initial reply was that you expected an upload and me only telling you where to look wasn't good enough for your liking. You'd think if you had already gone as far as rooting you should already have a basic understanding of finding and downloading files, I guess I assumed too much of you. I apologise.
[HTC Sensation] Azerox:
I also notice vibrations like incoming messages from time to time, while there is no message or i do anything at all.

Just random vibrates it seems xD

But further perfect working rom.

If people would RTFM there wouldnt be so much questions.
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
I've also noticed this on all android 4.0.3 ROMs I've tried.
[HTC Sensation] k8sh:
Basic understanding and assumed too much and then you apologize. Man, you think waaaay too highly of yourself. Don't apologize. It demeans the whole concept. But I would sincerely apologize for the apparent tone in the message. I usually do not bother posting but I responded in the same ugly tone as yours. But don't lecture people like you did saying you have been telling people to do this and that several times. People come here to ask for help or to simply report a bug to the dev. And yes not everyone who comes here reads every single post. I do...well at least since vi 3.0. This will be my last post to you. It isn't worth the space I just used in the thread. Sorry rmk40.

Mod, delete post if necessary.

Went from 3.0 to 4.0, updated the firmware and removed the PG file afterwards but still stuck in bootloop, any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] thefeeny:
My own experience with this ROM is that it's quite wonderful, Im loving it, the OC is, for me, a noticeable improvement in snappiness (I'd be sad to see it removed!) and I've nothing but praise - even battery life seems well extended over 3.5 (after I drained, fully charge and wiped battery stats).

I have one niggling issue with it:

I can't get the ringtone to stick after a reboot - it resets to "Six Days" or something at each boot. All other tones / notifications stick.

I saw a few people with this a few posts back, and a suggestion to clear dalvik, fix permissions etc - both of which Ive done to no effect.

Any ideas?

The only other thing I need to remember to do after flashing the VI updates is to modify the gps.prop - GPS lock is much much faster (IE 3 secs vs 60 secs!) when I put in Australian NTP servers instead of the default ones.

Fantastic ROM, really!
[HTC Sensation] verynuclear:
Unfortunately, It is not being able to hear a call at all.

Thanks for your quick reply and all of your efforts here in this thread.

You r awesome. :thumbup:
[HTC Sensation] Ken957:
Really super fast rom, makes my Sensation fly! Sense rom can't compete with this. Keep up the good work!

Isn't it possible to add sense widgets like 'agenda'?
[HTC Sensation] yauhui:
Same here. Still bootloping even if I try to revert to 3.0.0.
[HTC Sensation] taffypride:
erm....just tried turning on Bluetooth (VI 4.0.0 Final) and it stays at Turning On

Needed to share some stuff to my girlfriends Desire S.....
[HTC Sensation] RoganTheTwat:
ive tried format system etc. still no luck
[HTC Sensation] k8sh:
Unfortunately no. Sense Widgets need sense...unless someone ports them to work on any launcher. I use android pro Widgets for agenda/calendar. They have ics themes if you buy the paid version. I'm sure there are other agenda widget options in the market...err...play store.

Does anyone have a link to a 3.5 version of inquisition please?
[HTC Sensation] smithey253:
It might be the firmware. I was stuck on a bootloop when using the most recent firmware but not the ones before that.
[HTC Sensation] RoganTheTwat:
Ive managed to get it running back on 3.0 with the latest firmware, format the cache, data & system, then install 3.0 this should bring it back. Still... not happy I cant get it to 4.0

What am I missing? s-off etc as I am running 3.0, wiped my phone, installed updated firmware, removed it from my SDCard, installed 4.0 and then received bootloop? Am i missing something?
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Great work on this rmk,

but can I just ask what the advantages of stripping out a sense rom over AOSP are? love your virtuous quattro rom.
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
Anyone know where i can find the ics stock ringtones? I saw it back somewhere like 200+ pages ago and cant find it :/
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
So far, all AOSP ROMs for the Sensation all have broken bluetooth and broken 1080p video recording because, despite best efforts from various devs, the HTC source code is really needed for these things.

Virtuous Inquisition has both these things fully working because it is Sense-based and can use HTC components without needing the source.

Also, IIRC, HDMI-out does not work on AOSP either, but works on VI.

Another advantage is that Sense components (such as the Camera) will still work for users that don't like the AOSP versions.
[HTC Sensation] sinfulgray:
I have to ask did you run superwipe script? Try that then install VI 4.0and if it works then try to advance restore data.
[HTC Sensation] yauhui:
I tried the older 3.24 that I had previously used for 3.0.0 but it doesn't solve the problem.
[HTC Sensation] RoganTheTwat:
no didnt use superwipe, ill try it now
