Strange issue.

Guys I've spent the better part of the last two days trying to figure this one out. I hope someone here can help me with this.

On my Sensation XE, I had ARHD 6.6.3 installed earlier, and then I installed Coindroid 1.5.2 and tried it out for a couple of weeks. Both ran perfectly with no issues. I wanted to go with something light now, and I came across the Virtuous Inquisition ROM. Downloaded it, and the 3.32 firmware from the user-friendly page, and now my sensation is not going to go beyond the initial "V" logo after the white HTC screen. It is in bootloop and I can't figure out what could be wrong. I tried another 3.32 firmware from the other thread (mike's thread - it might be the same) but still the same. I searched through and someone suggested that I install the 3.12 with all files deleted minus the bootloader and even that didn't work. Can't seem to figure this one out. I even tried the other firmware that was working with Coindroid and ARHD and that just gives the "V" logo 5-10 more secs to stay on the screen and then it reboots again.

Something has be wrong somewhere because I formatted my SD, formatted my phone through EXT4 (also tried superwipe) but it just doesn't work.

Any help with this would be great. Surprisingly, if I install my previous firmware and then flash Coindroid over it, that works! But I can't get this thing to work with Virtuous Inquisition. BTW I S-OFF'ed and SuperCID'ed before installing the ARHD and I believe it would still be in that state. It doesn't give me a wrong CID message no matter what 3.32 I install. I am out of options now.

BTW this is what the Bootloader from my working firmware says:

*** LOCKED ***

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.23.000

RADIO-11.19.3504.29_2

OpenADSP-v01.6.0.2226.00.1227

eMMC-boot

Dec 26 2011, 12:14:25

Also I checked my CID and it is superCID (all 1's)

Wrong bootloader

1.27 is the one I use and have no problem flashing between the different ice cream sandwich roms out there.

You can find firmware here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26154563

my bootloader says revolutionary at the top also I think Mike from Android revolution post a link on his page here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21989107

It's out there some where I have mine stored on my sdcard and renamed to something else so it won't be read when I'm in bootloader trying to revert to and from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich. With 4 ext recovery I flash a gingerbread rom the reboot into bootloader and flash the necessary firmware and I'm good to go. Hope it works for you like it did me
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
First make sure you're 4ext app is fully up to date, v2.4.1

Within the 4ext app, select online install, then the 1.0.0.5 RC 3 version of touch then install that. Even if that's the same version you already have, install it again.
[HTC Sensation] txbrownrice:
Check the md5 sum of your file cause it sounds incomplete.
[HTC Sensation] einrae214:
I don't think so I know sometimes if the file is incomplete it won't allow you too flash the rom at all. Try one of the download links I provided a couple post back.
[HTC Sensation] thekoopers:
Thank You boomboomer I finally got it!! Much appreciated!!
[HTC Sensation] waqar747:
The MD5 sum was correct.

Finally got this to work with this firmware: TMOUS-ICS-3.32.531.14-unlocked

Don't know what was going on there but no other firmware would work even after they installed fully with no errors.

Well, I'm glad this is over :-)

Thanks for the help.
[HTC Sensation] wen hau:
downloading...will give u review after that :)
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
WOW! Ok, I've just finished installing a ROM called Dark Knight onto a Samsung Galaxy S19000 I've got. It was actually quite impressive to see all the additional features this ROM had built into it - and even little things such as being able to go into Contacts, select a contact, choose to send a message and the number is carried across into the new SMS. CRT animation was also enabled.

I know it's a different phone but it's made me realise just how lacking this ROM is when it comes to additional features, or even just fixes.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Extra features such as? Other than CRT animations of course, what other extra stuff is there?
[HTC Sensation] eliexda:
I second that. development is dead. A crucial bug such as the SMS isn't fixed or anywhere near getting fixed. No APM. Stock apps like phone and gallery aren't fully incorporated into rom. Its still the best from out there since it has both the stock ics looks/snapiness and the nice HTC camera but like I said it needs a bit more work.
[HTC Sensation] einrae214:
Plz get over yourself. It's free it's free it's free. Keep that in mind when you say development is dead. it's not if it ain't broke than don't fix it. I love the rom it gives me every feature and butter smooth. Just flash something else then and move on
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
Have you tried HNS? It also has HTC Base with standard ICS look and feel.
[HTC Sensation] dsymbol:
Hi,

I have a small problem with the contacts, but it bugs the heck out of me.

when I make a call out from my contact list, seems like no problem.

But occasionally, I get an incoming call from people from my contact list, the screen only shows the phone number, but not the name.

I did a superwipe & reinstalled ROM, but problem still exists.

Any quick fix for this please?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] wen hau:
Really smooth :)
[HTC Sensation] doogoshly:
lol there are no problems with SMS. i'll give you APM. phone is well-integrated IMO. gallery is better as the HTC version since the camera is far superior to the ICS version. (not referring to the above user), but it's hilarious to me that ppl knock on this rom bc there's no CRT animation? my goodness, how sad are you ppl?

i left this ROM for hypersensation, hypernonsense, ARHD, and a few sense 4.0 ones and there is absolutely no substitute for speed and stability in a ROM. nothing is delayed, everything works.

stop complaining.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I agree, although I'm one of the many that want CRT animations, I certainly aren't complaining as I think the ROM is brilliant, hence why it's been the only ROM I've stuck with since vi3.0.0!

Interested in that apm you have though, does flashing it break anything?
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Sorry guys, I think my post was misinterpreted.

I was in no way implying that VI development was dead or that I dislike it in anyway. In fact my opinion is much the opposite - I love it. I've used quite a few different ROMs in the past, from Sense to non-Sense, and this is without a doubt the best I've used to date. It is fast, stable and does everything I want it to do plus more.

I was simply pointing out quite a few additional features that would make this ROM a far better one. Things such as the APM, CRT animation, contact number to SMS fix and so on. All of these things appear to be included in a number of other ICS ROMs so I don't see why they couldn't be incorporated into this one easily enough.

If however these features never get included then in all honesty I don't really care. It's free and I thank the developers greatly for producing one of the most rock solid ROMs I've ever used.
[HTC Sensation] eliexda:
Thanks for that but does it have the HTC camera?
[HTC Sensation] einrae214:
Not cool.it seems that the content of your words have become harsh. Let's stay on development topics. And try to help each other out and not be negative.

Let's face it every rom has problem or is one way out another incomplete. We should know that by now since we all rooted or phones. You as a people with no force but the ones of temptation and you're own curiosity did this to your phone. It you want everything to work then don't root and stay on stock. It's your choice just stop being so self righteous it's free. :o
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Agreed, not one custom ROM has absolutely everything perfect, but this is by far the best one me and countless others have used, and is the reason I keep staying with it.
[HTC Sensation] Incredible_Culp:
yes...

Any more questions on that rom, how bout you go to the HNS thread and read it.. itll have all the answers ;)
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Thread cleaned and some posts edited.

Drop the attitude guys...

Consider this a final warning
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Seems my post telling nucleotide that it wasn't him that got people's backs up has been deleted, so I'll say it again, you'd said nothing wrong fella.
[HTC Sensation] amitkhas:
This rom appears to have the stock ICS email app (for microsoft exchange). This version of the app has one major lacking feature - it doesn't allow synching of GAL (global address list).

It seems that the CM9 version of Email app offers this feature. Anyone know if there's a way to take that one and flash it on here?

btw, this rom is awesome. Definitely one of the better one's I've used. It's similar to HNS, but I'm getting better battery life.
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
You could try downloading a CM ROM, extracting the required APK and pushing it to your phone. No guarantees, but you can always try.
[HTC Sensation] amitkhas:
gosh, hate to sound like a noob...

how do i extract just the email apk from the rom?
[HTC Sensation] blackvd:
I'm getting really frustrated with not being able to answer my phone. For example when I receive a call and click to answer it goes silent but freezes at incoming. This is especially bad as I am job hunting.

Does anyone know a fix for this issue? Perhaps I should be using a different dialer?

Thanks for any advice!
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
Just open up the zip and look through the folders. I believe they are named according to where they live on the system partitions. IIRC, there should be a folder somewhere in there that includes /data/app or /system/app where you can find the APKs that you're looking for.

I haven't had to do it in quite a few Android versions, so forgive me if this is not accurate advice.

My Virtuous Inquisition Experience

hi guys I would like to share my battery performance, which i am very happy with.

here are the details:

ROM: VI version 4.0.2

Kernel: Bricked version 1.1

Governor: Interactive

MAX: 1566

Min: 192

Starting at 100% charge:

44 minutes of constant use

about 2hr 36min of sleep

4% drop in battery power.
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
The first 1% takes a very long time to drop, after that the rate is usually more linear, depending on the task being performed.

I'm also very happy with my battery life, using the Sebastian kernel - edited down to 1.2Ghz by Socali.
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
Open the flash-able zip with an archive manager (winzip, 7zip, winrar), or if you or Linux or a Mac, an alternative one. Navigate to /system/app and look for email.apk and/or exchange.apk (I'm not sure which one you need or both). Copy these files to a place on your hard drive. Now you have to push these to your rom, there are several ways to do this. One is using adb to push the files to /system/app on your phone. The second one is to copy these files to your phone sdcard and place them in /system/app using a file manager, also remember to set the permissions, and reboot.

Remember to make a nandroid backup, just to be sure. Again no guarantees, but you can always try.

9.5 hours of screen time? How??
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
Anker battery and that day was mainly reading a book, rather than data or video use - I usually get 6 or 7 hrs screen time on a normal day.
[HTC Sensation] dsymbol:
Any suggestion please?
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
Do all contacts have area codes in their contact profile?

Do you use an alternative dialer?
[HTC Sensation] thetinguy:
Hey RMK when are we going to see an update with ICS wifi calling? Also a fix for the messaging has stopped bug please? I know you use wifi calling, and I know you know the GB one is kinda broken.
[HTC Sensation] pnut22r:
I've been gone for awhile, thinking of coming back. What are you guys doing for mms, I could never get mine working. Using third party apps?
[HTC Sensation] lowrider262:
I use go SMS and mms works fine. I never knew there was a problem with it since I use go with every rom
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Back in v4.0.0 and v4.0.1 days I had the occasional MMS issue.

On v4.0.2, MMS appears to be working fine. I was using GO SMS for a week or two but I love the simplicity of the stock app too much so I deleted GO SMS.

Honestly, I think you should make a backup of your current ROM, make sure you do a full wipe - I use ARHD superwipe script and then manually format each of the partitions within 4EXT just for good measure. It's probably completely useless formatting it manually as well however, I've never had any issues in the past either.

Flash VI v4.0.2.

Optional: flash SebastianFM kernel v1.4.1 - I've been running it for months and it's rock solid and delivers great battery life as well.

Use it for a couple of days and see what you think. Everyone around here is reporting different issues so the only real way to ensure it's going to work and do what you want is to test it for yourself. :D
[HTC Sensation] dsymbol:
Some of my contacts listed even with the whole international format: +84-xxx-xxx-xxx.

some are just 09xx-xxx-xxx

& yes, I use TouchPal as the alternative default dialer. Is that a problem?

For example:

My Mom calls me, the number appears, but her name does not.

But if I recall that exact number, then the screen will show her name & number.

I did try to save her number as +84xx & just as regular 09xx, I still get that problem every now & then.

I'm currently on ARHD & doesn't have said problem.

Please advice.

Thanks

SebastianFM kernel is rock stable with solid battery life. Getting about 4/5 hours screen time with anker battery.

Have you tried tweetdeck?
[HTC Sensation] bburke88:
Any chance we could get the widget for the HTC music player?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I can confirm Exchange does not work with HTC Mail. Everything works fine until the last step. It's probably integrated into the Sense launcher somehow.
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
does mms work in this rom. every rom i have tried has the "Tiny MMS" issue.
[HTC Sensation] jmerlos:
HTC Widgets only work if you are using Sense Launcher.
[HTC Sensation] Crazywhitie:
It worked for me other then Sending Pictures, you have to add this before installing

<!-- MMS UA string -->

-<module name="MMS"> -<function name="ua_string"> -<set name="single"> <item name="value">HTC_Sensation_4G/1.0</item> </set> </function>

open virtuous_inquisition-v1.4.0.rar

then System

then customize

then MNS

then Open Defualt.xml with notepad.. scroll to very bottom.. it's the 2nd code lines from the bottom
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
Yeah. Not the same as Tweetdeck doesn't load pictures to your gallery. I tweet a lot of pictures and stuff and while Tweetdeck does a yfrog from twitter it doesn't do that for FaceBook.

I wasn't aware that I quoted you. *shrugs*

UPDATE::

My MMS works just fine.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Hey rmk, is there an undo zip so I can get the AOSP mail client back?
[HTC Sensation] EricDET:
Experiencing crazy amount of lag in the Mail app after flashing the HTC mail add on. Wipe data for the app and reset it up and still lagging badly.
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Sense widgets only work with sense launcher.. Snipes check out wiz widget in market, from the maker of colorize but for ICS. It's just like friend stream.. I also can't live without friend stream/colorize_gb/wiz_ICS you'll like it for sure..

I use them when I run any aosp or cmod rom.
[HTC Sensation] rmk40:
I doubt it's tied to the launcher. We probably need another apk or two. If you can run a logcat and provide the output for when that error occurs, we can debug this. Otherwise without an Exchange account it's not something I can pursue on my own.

Just re-flash the ROM without any wipe. It'll undo all the addons.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Guys why don't you follow the Classic Tip,

Nandroid Backup your current ROM

Flash RCMix ROM since that's closest to stock and make Backup of all system and user apps using Titanium Backup

Reboot to recovery, Restore your ROM

Now open Titanium Backup and restore all components of HTC that you want ...

the way TB restores is mostly flawless for applications

[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
You can use FriendStream without Sense launcher bro...U have to use the app button in the regular launcher..not the widget, I know that won't work...open it up and use it and its all good. But I am going to try that app right now. Thanks bro.

Update:

Wiz Widget isn't available for me in my market.

Installed the FriendStream apk from the ARHD ICS ROM and it installed just fine.

[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
You're the man...I beat you to it though lol...Sorry. I didn't refresh the darn screen and missed this. Pulled it from ARHD ICS ROM....I know the widget wont work..but the application should work fine as a normal application.

UPDATE:

I guess somethings missing. The .apk does not work fully. It installs fone but once you login you get the following 2 screens..Basically no way to sign in twitter or facebook. Once you click Yes it sends you to the settings..cxan't sign in under "Accounts" in settings either.
[HTC Sensation] yozpalang:
which thread can you please share the link?
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
I don't know whether the possibilities I listed influence your problems, I wanted to point out these are worth looking into to see whether an alternative solves the issue. Apparently this is not the case, I wouldn't know what else to try.

I use touch pal also.

To have it show name on incoming calls, where the person is in your phonebook you have to enable it under settings.

Hello all,

I installed the rom with success but I have a bootloop when I try to launch it.

I found a solution to avoid bootloop at every boot but require a pc for every restart:

upload the boot.img with fastboot:

./fastboot boot boot.img

boot.img is in this folder:

/virtuous_inquisition-v4.0.2/kernel/pyramid/

after that the V appears and everything works fine !

Anybody found a solution to avoid this manipulation?

My sensation is S-ON RL unlocked with HBOOT 1.27.000.

4G Signal Issues

Been running this ROM for several months now, but when I upgraded in March from one of the v3 versions (can't remember which one) to v4.0.1 (full wipe), I've been having a lot of signal issues. I immediately wiped and and installed the ROM again, but still had the issues. I tried a wipe and reinstall a third time for good measure, but no difference. Since I haven't found any other ROM that I like, I put up with it. I upgraded to v4.0.2 a month ago or so, and the signal issues seem to have only gotten worse.

Here's what's going on: I'll be on HSPA+ (4G), happily streaming music or browsing reddit, when suddenly my signal drops to 3G. The a few seconds later to Edge. A few second later to voice. Then no signal for like a minute. After another minute, the signal starts climbing back up: voice, edge, 3G, then finally 4G. This issue occurs like at least once per hour.

Another issue I have almost constantly when I don't have the above issue is that my signal fluctuates between 3G and 4G. When my signal shows 3G, I get no data. Nothing. I get data on Edge, but not on 3G for some reason. Then 30 seconds later it's back to normal for a few minutes. Then it repeats.

One last issue. When I'm on Wifi and my radio drops to voice, it has issues sometimes going back to 4G. Occasionally it gets stuck at Edge. Only a reboot fixes the issue.

All of these issues are documented in locations where I've always had reliable 4G with this phone (and even earlier versions of this ROM), and my friend on T-Mobile has good 4G signal strength on his Galaxy S.

This issue is absolutely frustrating. If it weren't for this issue, I would happily proclaim this ROM the best in the universe. But if I can't find a fix, I may have to downgrade to a less ideal ROM.

Do I need to upgrade my radio or change it? Suggestions for what I should change it to if that's the case?
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Thats a radio issue, see mf2112's thread for the good scoophere (I don't have any tmob signal issues with this rom).
[HTC Sensation] bretac:
Any recommendation for a particular radio that works well? There's so many to choose from in that topic.

No more success with your link! I always have to flash the boot after every shutdown...
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Hi,

I've got one question on the notification tray ...

Couldn't find anything in the settings (or I missed it), but the one and only thing I'm missing from Sense (or GB/CM7) is the fact that apps that put permanent notifications in the tray were listed first, and notification events (which you can push away) came below, while now they are all mixed.

Is there a way to configure this in VI as well ?

Other than that, me luuuuves this ROM, so streamlined, so fast !! :D

Thanx, JP.
[HTC Sensation] gertjanw1993:
When i flash this rom, what do i need to flash apart from it? (eq kernel, mods, mail app etc etc)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
You flash a different kernel (I use faux's 007u at the moment), but you don't have to, everything else is out of the box ;)

You may flash new Adreno 220 drivers 2.18 v2, which give better graphics performance.

Wonderful Rom, been switching around between aokp/cm9/sense4 roms when I stumbled upon this beauty. I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to post a mirror for Socali's kernel reset tweak? I am currently in China on a business trip and Mediafire seems to be blocked.

Also, does anyone else have problems mounting their Sensation for USB storage? Whenever I plug it into my laptop, it just seems to charge. I have enabled MTP in the settings (not sure if that makes a difference) and I dont think there is a fast charge option enabled like there is in AOKP.

Thanks again for the wonderful rom, and the helpful community surrounding it!
