thats good to know, a few users have been experiencing this problem
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
I've tried it, and have since uninstalled it for exactly the two reasons you mentioned. The Sense camera is undoubtedly much better, and I'm even hoping that we get the Amaze camera for ICS as it is much better and quicker at focusing.
[HTC Sensation] MisterRio:
+1 on that

Also stock browser crashes a

lot

, I'm guessing 50% of the time.

And syncing photo's with picasa through Gallery isn't working; 'syncing of account data failed' or so.
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
really? i havent had a problem yet...try using ICS browser plus from the market, its really nice, and you might have better luck with that

EDIT** try clearing the cache/data for browser in apps, that usually helps
[HTC Sensation] MisterRio:
Thanks, will do. Using Opera also works like a charm.

One last thing; this

"Over the air updates via ROM Manager"

also doesn't seem to work.
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
chances are the rom hasnt been uploaded to the server yet, or theres a problem with rom manager running this this ver...

have to wait for rmk the say for sure
[HTC Sensation] banesi:
rmk, did you made some modifications to android.policy.jar? I'm asking because I'm using Volume Wake Up mode, it works ok though, credits to baad for this...
[HTC Sensation] mzmo:
Quick question you guys. I've been on the 1.4.0 beta for a while, should I full wipe and flash 1.4.2 or is it ok to just wipe dalvik cache and flash ontop, since it's in the same version (1.4.xx)?
[HTC Sensation] Zico 10:
All 1.4.x can be flashed without wiping.

Once you see 1.5.x, then you'll need to wipe.
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
Flashed it ...everything works for me...no waiting for camera when in the lockscreen it is starting instantly..rom runs very smooth...so far no issues at all
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
Only issue i see at this moment is when i use skype the other person is seeing me green dont know if it is rom related or kernel related
[HTC Sensation] Sequester:
Running 1.4.2 since this morning.

One bug I haven't read about in the last couple of days:

When receiving a call I have to unlock the phone as mentioned before. I can see then who called me. However, the picture does not show up. All I see is the little Android guy. No big deal though, but wanted to give feedback.
[HTC Sensation] jamiescott23:
I haven't installed and don't wanna install Mike's firmware. So I can't flash latest radio because it causes random restarts.

So which radio do you recommend with this ROM guys?
[HTC Sensation] juaninamillion:
Is it just me or has the keyboard opening/closing animation changed with the latest 1.4.2?

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] MisterRio:
Still has Sense appearance:

- simcard lockscreen (where you enter your pin after booting)

- reboot menu

- the 'choose connection type' menu (the one that appears only when screen on)

question: are both cores working? Seems (a bit) slower at some point compared to my previous ROM (CM7).

Kudos for your work though, can easily be used for daily use!
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
Both cores are working but not both at the same time...i just forced the other core online to but my phone went more laggie after that so i reverted back as it was
[HTC Sensation] adeelmysore:
flash the firmware bundle rmk40 references in his first post. Here is the direct link to it http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/sensation.html

---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

RMK40 can you add APM options to the rom especially reboot to recovery and bootloader?
[HTC Sensation] IMPEREAL:
Got my 1st call today and I must say besides the caller id picture not working I kinda like having to unlock the phone 1st.
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
So, I'm only posting this in the hopes that it can help fix an issue. I haven't seen it posted in the entire thread, and I've read through the entire thing.

But has anyone besides me noticed that the reason that the notifications in the bar look blurry is because the notifications are showing up twice, overlayed on top of each other? They're doubling up, which is why they are more of a white color, instead of grey, and that's also why they look blurry, because the animation that makes them appear is delayed for the doubled version.

Hope this helps someone on the right track to fixing the issue, if at all possible.
[HTC Sensation] WebMatze:
Hello,

first of all thanks for that great rom !

Only 1 bug for me:

I'm still unable to autostart car home app of when plugged to the HTC car dock.
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Type "notification text" into the "Search this Thread" box.

It's been mentioned at least four times previously.

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Same here, quite a good "feature".

Especially last night when my wife tried to answer my phone but couldn't because it was locked! :cool:
[HTC Sensation] denverpedro:
Can you or someone let me know what firmware this is? There doesn't seem to be any version information in the link. Updating firmware seems to me like a really good way to brick your phone if you don't know what's in it so I don't want to flash it if I already have it installed or if there's any significant risk of a brick. Any version details would be great. Also, from what I'm reading this firmware will update the radio as well correct?

More specifically I want to ensure this won't include the HBOOT that prevents me from using Fastboot to flash in the future.

Thanks,

Pete
[HTC Sensation] yozpalang:
is it me or the updates are not available via rom manager?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Just flashed 1.4.1 last night and downloading the update now. (always happens lol) Screenshot is a bit tricky lol, but I have drocap as well.

I have to say a smooth rom. I updated the firmware as well and this thing flies! (supercid ftw!)

Nova launcher is smooth as well. Great job! I've always been a fan of Virtuous and ICS doesn't disappoint! :D

Other than the bleeding text in the notification menu, this rom rocks!

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

Correct. Didn't show for me either. Maybe because this is a beta? Hell of a beta though...daily driver for me. :)
[HTC Sensation] mbangia630:
was wondering if there was a fix for the call screen yet? its still sense, anyway to get AOSP?
[HTC Sensation] semajhan:
Anyway of getting rid of the sense dialer?

Getting on my nerves...
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Youll have to wait for someone to release an AOSP ROM. Its 100% completely different base, so there is no amount of tweaking that can be done to a Sense based ROM to make it pure AOSP. CM9 is in the works, although no one knows just how far along they are.

Yea, flash this ROM. I dont have the Sense dialer.

[HTC Sensation] zman245:
Battery Issues

I don't really know what could be the problem so I'm just going to describe what happened last night while running this rom and we shall see if anyone knows whats wrong.

So I had gotten low on battery (which happens too often might I add) and as soon as my battery dropped down to like 20 percent the phone cut off like it was dead so I plugged it into the charger and restarted it and bam it went back up to 74% then it dropped down like a rock to like 20% or so.

I've heard of issues where ROM's aren't properly handling the battery and can show false battery percentages.

Anyone have any idea?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Either let it go for a day. If the problem persists, reflash the rom (just wipe cache and dalvik cache).
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
No not the sense dailer but we still do have the numpad when we must enter pin at the bootup :(
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
It's already been released ;)

Do keep in mind that XDA is not the only place for ROMs :)

There is an incredibly quick (yet still abit buggy) AOSP/CM9 hybrid release for the Sensation. It's been out for almost 2 weeks. Custom kernel on that is running 1.53ghz. It is by far the fastest I've ever seen my phone fly, with any ROM. If the camera was working properly, it would be my daily driver.

If you want to take a looksy...Goto Modaco's forums. The TripN team has a very impressive build going.

I have no idea why, but for some reason I think the TripN team is not allowed, or doesn't want to be on XDA. I've heard tibbits here and there, but still don't know what that silliness is all about.

Anyhoot...GREAT job on 1.4.2! Love the Virtuous Team! Runnin great!
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
I'm pretty sure you didn't actually read my post, because I already mentioned that I've read through every single post in this thread since it was started, and the only thing that was ever mentioned was that the text was "blurry". Nobody has mentioned the actual reason that the text looks blurry. But that's OK, keep posting without reading. It'll get you far.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Good point gbzbar... and nice one for spotting that. It may have been discovered before, but I have yet to see anyone describe the real reason for the blurry text. If they did, sorry...haven't seen it.

Forget the idiot haters... So many people on here are so ready to jump down the throat of anyone who is honestly trying to help.

Makes sense...good work gbzbar!

[HTC Sensation] eggyenergy:
I can send and recieve? What version bro?
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Ummm did you read his post? Did you do a search and actually read the search results? Looks like no. A search does not bring up what he is talking about. He's talking about the reason why the text is blurry...not the simple fact that's it's blurry. There's a difference.

Here's an idea that will clean up threads in a hurry. Stop posting if all you have to say is "do a search"..."why didn't you search". To the people saying that over and over.... Either answer the question and be done with it or don't post at all if you don't know the answer to a question. These threads are more cluttered from those kinds of posts than from people asking questions who didn't find anything in a search. SILLY.
[HTC Sensation] socali:
I did not experience this issue, but I did notice an advanced option in CWM called "Wipe Battery Stats" that might help.

Also, one of the features listed by rmk40 is:

"Automated battery calibration. Just plug your phone in after a wipe and charge it to full (preferably overnight), then let our script do the rest."

Wiped then flashed 1.4.1, then flashed the MMS fix and HTC Beats add-on. Manually set APN settings, and no problems with SMS or MMS at all.

Flashed 1.4.2, and MMS still works fine without having to do anything else.

FYI, the Nova launcher really seems much faster and smoother than the stock AOSP launcher which I had also tried. Stick with Nova IMO.

One issue found: if you delete the "ME" or "My Local Profile" in Contacts, it would not let me re-create it and it would make Contacts to force close. I had to wipe and start over to fix

Great work rmk40 and Virtuous team!!!
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
And is that your only apn. I had another one that was a mms apn .I had mms and data.and what mms issue are you having.
[HTC Sensation] semajhan:
Thats strange.

I am using this ROM and really loved it until I saw the sense dialer.

Is there an extra step I need to take?

I have wiped before flashing.

Then I installed the AOSP stock launcher and the battery percentage add on and then wiped cache.
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
Why is the mms size still not changed in the Rom. It's set for 100k 200k and 300k when it should be 300k 600k and 1000k

Once I download the Rom I always have to change this to get mms to work
[HTC Sensation] juaninamillion:
Yea.... I've had mms working since 1.3

Now on 1.4.2 I can receive mms fine... But, if I send mms it comes up as "(no subject)" and no picture is attached.

Rmk's or Mike1986's? What radio & hboot did u end up with?
[HTC Sensation] denverpedro:
I just flashed the firmware linked at the beginning of this thread and I ended up with HBOOT 1.20 and Radio 11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.16_M

Agreed with Ale13Star that there does seem to be a speed improvement. Now I also had just updated to 1.4.2 so it could be either or a combination (I had booted into 1.4.2 previously and it seems to be faster with the firmware but that is perceived not measured in any way).

Hope that info helps.

[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Sounds cool...will try it. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] !_Ale13star_!:
-Firmware from Mike's Thread..

-I've downgraded Hboot to 1.17 after because i want fastboot commands just in case i will have problems with my phone..

Why isn't fonts issue resolved?... I guess rmk thinks i m lying...i have to provide screen shots of issue after fresh install...
[HTC Sensation] semajhan:
I guess I was wrong when I said "sense dialer" as I am getting the stock dialer but when it gets INTO a call it is showing a familiar screen from sense 3.0: Big green android in the middle for the picture, status bar is sense, bring up the keypad from the left and the contacts from the right ect.

Is this supposed to be part of the ROM?
[HTC Sensation] yozpalang:
Yes it has to be part of rom for now

Sim Tool Kit (Stk.apk)

Hi guys,

Is SIM toolkit application present in this ROM, or it's removed?
[HTC Sensation] flash5000:
@rmk:

Please include the gingerbread stock font with your next release. With this simple thing it is possible to use WidgetLocker after a fresh install (the standard clock of WL requires this font - if it's not present, WL stops with a FC).

Seems to me it's either Nova or theme related...or a combo of the 2.

Other full Sense ICS ROMs have normal signal bar fluctuations.
[HTC Sensation] mulletcutter:
What does a launcher have to do with your signal?
[HTC Sensation] flash5000:
Yes, but everybody uses WidgetLocker as it seems - look at the various complaints in this thread...

For me it's working, as I always restore WL with TitaniumBackup. My request was only made to avoid future WL complaints, and it's fulfillable with minimal effort.

Regards
[HTC Sensation] lyrical1278:
He's referring to the signal bars not moving but I doubt the launcher has anything to do with it either.

I think it's just a bug from removing sense overall. I don't make any big deal of it. I hardly ever pay attention to my signal strength anyway. I get 4G in my basement that alone surprised me about this phone seeing as I could barely get service in my basement when I had verizon.
[HTC Sensation] mulletcutter:
Could be the sense removal..but OP says full or nothing for the signal

Thank you! Much appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
Update on what I've changed today:

Mobile data and wifi are now enabled automatically.

Pocket mode disabled.

Quiet on pickup disabled.

Plans:

Replace Email/Exchange with Sense version. Many people have reported the AOSP version simply isn't working. Function over form here.

Keep Google Music but replace the stock player with HTC's version so we get Beats.

I know some of you want to stay with AOSP versions of everything regardless but I'm just going to accept that we can't make everyone happy. I'm developing only on the Sensation because it's the device I use on a daily basis, which means the ROMs have to be fully featured, even for myself. Anyone who wants to offer alternate options via flashable zips is welcome to do so in this thread. If you make an option/mod available I'll link to it from post #3.

Release coming shortly and I am sorry to say it'll be another wipe. Hope you guys are all adept with Titanium. :)

Hey just wondering if sometime in the near future you would be implementing 4.0.3. Ive just been reading that it runs a bit better but Im not sure how complicated that would be.

This is truly becoming the ultimate hybrid ROM, with the best of ICS and sense.

Is there any chance you could look at power save option? It seems to activate at 25% battery, but I can't see what settings it has or where to change.

Also, the keyboard seems to lag when I type fast, but I have this problem with all ICS ROMs.
