hi,

i can't watch youtube movies on neither my opera mini/opera mobile10 nor on the IE.My device is I-mate ultimate 9502 with WM6.1 ROM.It was possible before I hardresetted my device.Could I have lost some components for it to work?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
version 5.1.0
[HTC Sensation] havlaz:
thank you man!!
[HTC Sensation] Giblet-dono:
Hey!

Nice to see a new rom in here!

Can you tell us what makes YOUR rom different from all the others?

Thanks in advance

Giblet
[HTC Sensation] Prophasis:
Nice to see a new ROM indeed! Also wondering what makes YOUR rom different then all the others around.

Greetings,

Prophasis
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
What makes this ROM different? very good question, most of which can be answered by looking at the Features in the first post

the main points are that all apps are updated as of yesterday, hosts file updated, volume tweaks applied for bigger sound throughout the system.

oh and i will add a patch later that will allow people who are not that fond of beats audio profile to have dolby, srs, no-effect and EQ in the music enhancer
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Hey Jonny, nice to see you back. Downloading rom at the moment and looking forward to more of your great work on sound improvement. Will you be coming up with a firmware bundle or is this rom good to go as it is? I'm really not keen to flash the ICS firmware bundle. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] cb1100r:
is the controversy with Lee resolved?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
yes, like i said, i sent the ROM to a moderator and he gave me the all clear, this is my own ROM
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
The ROM is good to go but there is a significant performance boost gained by flashing the ICS firmware, for me the ROM flies with the latest firmware and enough users have flashed it that there are no issues, you stay S-OFF, root etc
[HTC Sensation] cb1100r:
good to read :) good luck for your rom
[HTC Sensation] Madeli:
Going to try this rom :) already flashed the new firmware couple days ago... With ARHD everything works fine so i want to compare them.

Thanx for giving us a new fresh rom :D

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE.

EDIT: Well, i'm sorry to say that this rom didnt even boot for me :( Did a superwipe... but its stuck at htc white screen...
[HTC Sensation] cb1100r:
same for me... no way to install
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ok going to look into this right away
[HTC Sensation] cb1100r:
Just for info...

great to see 2 stars on this ROM when nobody expept the creator use it !

Please users... be carefull before give a note ! (good or bad) it's not very honest and very usless :mad:
[HTC Sensation] Erkin Ay:
Is it useable for non XE?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
ok found the problem, i forgot to create a dummy file for busybox, re-uploading the corrected ROM now, about 40mins left
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
i think the 2 stars was probably for the booting issues, they are sorted now, just waiting for the upload to finish
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
yes it can be used for none XE but i would suggest you wait for version 2.0.1 to finish uploading as flashing this version may give boot issues due to a missing file for busybox. (version 2.0.1 fixes this)
[HTC Sensation] sachin kundu:
Very fast rom and stable for daily use....:)

thanks !
[HTC Sensation] Planet X:
The weather animation looks a bit weird to me. The fullscreen picture is fine but the small window with the choice of 4 days or hourly there is a black frame on the right of the screen. Could you have a look into that? For the rest the ROM works fine until now. Only WhatsApp sometimes asks for close or wait.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
i'm seriously impressed with this ROM...i had originally planned on using it for a couple of days before before reviewing, but i haven't had the slightest issue and it's quite evidently smoother than other ICS ROMS i have tried

well done!
[HTC Sensation] Lord60:
yes I have. Still a no go. tried every way possible. always stops at the beats animation, then simply turns the phone off.

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

thanks. tried this way too. Made the proper selections for my phone. no go. Nothing I do will make it work. gets to beats animation, stops...pauses one second then simply turns the device off.

Before anyone asks, I did superwipe, I am S-Off, Rooted with Superuser. 4Ext recovery touch installed, made appropriate selections, even went without beats on one load. NADA. won't go. shame too. i really wanted to try this ROM. seemed to be the only one that didn't have problems (according to what I read) and it looks good too. Maybe Tmo will have ICS soon.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Nothing I can really do there I don't think, they are all bugs in HTC code, it happens on every ICS ROM. Only thing I can think of which might fix it is edit the smali but I'm not sure, I will look into this
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Hmmm, did you check MD5 Sums, maybe you had a bad download, everyone else seems to have flashed it fine. Try redownloading and reflashing it
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Added some custom Overscroll colours at the bottom of the first post to please those who dont like green ;)
[HTC Sensation] Isis111:
Jonny..........I had some issues today with my wifi staying connected and an issue that I had never experienced before with an message inside my house saying something to the affect that I was out of range of my wifi when I wasn't 10 feet from the router. Anyway I used a mod by

casper200519	[OP] Senior Member at this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21192315#post21192315 and it seems to have solved the issue. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Hi Jonny, getting some good reviews for this rom. I have a couple of issues with ICS roms, so I'm staying with GB 2.3.5, which brings me to ask whether you could do the overscroll effects for GB in a separate thread like you've done for Beats Audio XE? Or is there a file from the existing overscroll zip I could extract and put in my framework-res.apk? Thanks.:)
[HTC Sensation] theerayut:
Hi Jonny

The rom you power full and very smooth and now want to use CPU 1.5GHz but after flash get 1.2 Ghz. How can do in 1.5GHz?.

Thank you very much;)
[HTC Sensation] ra6o74:
Here you are: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424345
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ok thanks for letting me know, I will include Casper's fix in the next ROM :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
The files you need are overscroll_edge.png and overscroll_glow.png

I can create a new thread for them and probably will in due course but for now you can extract the image files above then put them in the hdpi folder of framework-res.apk
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Flash the SebastianFM kernel :)
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Thanks, it works. Now I have blue overscroll.:D
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
Indeed this is what I ran into to... these 2 points...

But today there was a Whatsapp update in the Market and after this update no more close or wait! :p

I've also got a problem with wifi tethering not working (known issue). Even barnacle trick doesn't work. Is there another fix for wifi tethering? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
For the tethering problem, I think its yet another bug with the ICS beta, same with the weather images being small
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
had it running for a few days now, works extremely well

I have a strange wifi issue which I don't think is ROM related so I posted for help in the general android forum

jonny, I hope you don't get discouraged from the lack if activity on here
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
He shouldn't because his ROM is one of the best ICS for my Sensation!!! ;)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, the key tone is too loud. When I dial a number in the disco everyone looks at me. Please, please help...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Lol :)

Try killing AudioEffectService.apk (xloud system) - I'll probably make that an option in Aroma for next version as well
[HTC Sensation] MarcLister:
Evening Jonny. I've downloaded 6.5.0. Do I need to update my RUU to let 6.5.0 work?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
As long as you have a 3.32.x firmware, it will work :)
[HTC Sensation] nnila:
I have v6.4 and I'm just wondering what actual gains I'd get from upgrading to this version:

v6.5.0 - 28th July 2012 (Full ROM)

Fixed Boot issues (I hope again!)

Redone completely from the 3.32.401.105_R2

Used memnoc's RAM hack - memnoc

Merged Tmous Exchange Fix

Re-ZipAligned with latest SDK Release

v6.4.1 - 26th June 2012 (Full ROM)

Hopefully fixed boot issues with superwipe, If issues still persist I need aroma log so please save the log file within aroma

Updated bricked kernel to v1.31 - showp1984

* I dont get any boot issues

* What does the redo actually gain me?

* What does this RAM hack gain me and is it not possible to just tweak my version to do it rather than having to do a full wipe/re-install

* I dont use exchange so dont I'd care about this

* Do I actually gain anything from the zip align?

* What do I actually gain from this change of bricked kernel and again - can I not just apply it as an update to the version I have?

Not being AT ALL negative so please dont take it that way, I always use this ROM.

I only just wiped it and set it all up though a week ago and dont want to have to do it all over again without understanding what I am actually gaining realistically speaking.

Appreciate it thanks!

And I'm using:

3.32.401.5_R2

The thread says it needs to be: 3.32.401.105

What impact is this likely to have? :)
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
how is battery life on this one?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Any 3.32.x firmware will do, they are all the same apart from radio in the case of tmous ruu and hboot. v6.5.0 is completely stable and daily driver unlike 6.4.0 which may have some odd bugs because my pen drive with ROM folder corrupted a lot of the files, hence why 6.4.1 didnt even boot, so I would recommend updating to v6.5.0 but there shouldnt be any need to full wipe if coming from 6.4.0.

The RAM hack can easily be edited to your own values by editing the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file and also some init.d scripts I used to tweak the hack even futher. Of course you are welcome to flash the kernel on its own but I get complaints if I bundle an old kernel version within the ROM like etc (in anycase showp released v1.36 yesterday).

Also for 6.5.0 I edited the ramdisk to be compatible with faux kernel also (he uses mikes renamed init.post_boot.sh)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Considering I only released it 2 days ago and ROM's for some reason need a "settle" period of a couple of charge cycles before battery life stabilizes out, no one can really tell at this stage so my advice would be flash it and see yourself :)
[HTC Sensation] nnila:
You say there is no need to wipe - does that mean I can just install it right over the top of what I have and everything will just keep working (in theory obviously)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I am not going to answer for Jonny, but yes, you can install without super wipe and all the settings and programs will remain as they are. I have done that myself with this version. I would recommend a super wipe though.
[HTC Sensation] MarcLister:
Thanks Jonny. :)
[HTC Sensation] nnila:
Just so I'm clear - you say without "super wipe" so what does this mean I do need to delete?

Davlik cache, cache - anything else?
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Performing super wipe is deleting everything. Without super wipe you are just updating the operating system without data loss.

If you want to keep all that, all you have to do is not to super wipe.
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
I just wiped cache and dalvik from the 6.3 version and didn't have any issues. Selected normal wipe in the aroma installer.
[HTC Sensation] laoruga:
Install over 6.3.2

instal over 6.3.2 with no wipe just from aroma normal wipe 2 days running no problem battery life has being normal since today yesterday it was a little bit crazy but lasted all day. :good: :D :p
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I have scripts that delete dalvik cache and cache automatically even if super wipe is not chosen so you dont need to do anything, just choose installer options and enjoy :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I'm glad everything is working as normal for you :)

[HTC Sensation] D F:
You can download shipped ROMs from here or rooted versions, from here. Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ah right, thanks. I'll sort this out ASAP, possibly one of the apk scripts messed it up so I'll put it unedited into the next version :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
icxperia.com/jonny/Firmware/PG58IMG.zip

I think that one is 3.32 version
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
For people who cant download the ROM or cant access the download site, you need to disable ad blockers otherwise the blocker will block the site/download.

And before I get any more PM's asking why my links are ad supported here is explanation:

My hoster redirects you to an ad link on visiting the site and converts my direct links to ad supported ones to generate some income for hosting costs and I am happy with this because he is not charging me for the site, it is free for me so its the least I can do! :)
[HTC Sensation] nnila:
How dare you devote all your time and energy for us for free and then have the cheek to want free hosting and not pay for it!

Some people I swear!

Cheers mate ;)
[HTC Sensation] leris:
Media volume based off Ringtone Volume

Hello - First up, huge fan and many thanks for the great roms. This has happened both on this rom and the Sense Beta 4 rom.

Media volume is based off my ringtone volume, if my ringtone volume is muted, regardless how I set the media volume, I will hear nothing. Likewise, if I turn up the ringtone volume, and attempt to "mute" media, it still sounds.

While adjusting media volume does affect the volume of media, in order to hear it loudly, you have to turn up the ringtone volume as well.

I have upgraded to the latest version (6.5.0) and performed a superwipe each time. I have updated my firmware as high as I can for my cid (to my understanding).

Originally tried with Beats, but now running without.

cid: TELST001

mid: PG5811000

Firmware: 3.32.401.5_R2 (CL309896 release-keys)

Is it possible this firmware is going to work with ICS? Should I superCID my device?

In advance, thank you.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Interesting... Does this happen on any other ROM apart from this and the sense 4 one?
[HTC Sensation] leris:
I did have cyanogenmod installed not that long ago and don't recall that being an issue. I'm happy to flash to that again to confirm or any other rom you suggest.

Thanks for your reply.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Sorry, I should have been more specific. Has this happended on any other Sense ROM?
[HTC Sensation] el7145:
fyi: i couldnt get wificalling to work after installing this rom, i tried nearly everything but reinstalling the rom...it seemed stuck on "enabling"
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Need more info like aroma log and logcat. Aroma log to see what options you selected during install and logcat so I can debug the problem
[HTC Sensation] hoggar:
Link DEAD

It seems that download link is dead. ERROR 404

Any mirrors?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Luckily I uploaded it to xdafileserver.nl about an hour ago, browse to htc > sensation > darkforest > Sense 3.6 > v6.5.0
[HTC Sensation] leris:
Just installed SharkDrOiD S3 v2.7 - Media and Ringtone volumes work just fine.

ShardDrOiD apparently uses:

Android 4.0.3

HTC Sense 3.6

(Apparently must wait 5 minutes before giving you more details, apologises if you read this after you reply). ./taps-foot-for-5-minutes.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thanks, I'll see if I can fix this ASAP. Working with the new base though so it might dissapear anyway ;)
[HTC Sensation] leris:
Actually I tell a lie. Same thing appears to be happening with the exception that the alarm still sounds at full/proper volume. (Which really, was what I cared about most - mute the ringtone but still be woken up by an alarm in the morning).

I'm pretty confused - is this the way it's meant to be in later versions of sense? Can anyone else confirm media volumes change based on your ringtone volume?

Edit:

(Going to re-try cyanogenmod and see what the default behaviour is there. This isn't a "feature" I hope).
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
If its occuring on other Sense based ROM's it would appear to be a "feature" rather than a bug (although turning wifi off after midnight for SmartSync is also a "feature" that is classed as a bug by the community) maybe htc fixed this in the new base...
[HTC Sensation] timmy.hd:
Media & Ringtone Volume

I am also experiencing volume issues (glitches). If I set ringtone volume to first step up from silent, the feedback sound appears low (as I'd expect) but when I receive a notification or call, the volume is then at full. Media volume is set to silent, Alarm volume also silent.

I too migrated from CM9 based ROM (OpenSensation) after a full wipe.

I've not tried anything yet at ROM install stage to see if it's the Beats Bass boost mod causing the problem. Will try that next (installing without the mod) to see what happens.

Apart from this issue/feature, this is a fantastic Sense ROM (from someone who really prefers non-sense).

Great work dev.

**Update** I've reflashed and this time opted to select the standard Beats with HTC stuff sound option and not the Beats Audio mods by mudhi. I think this has done it as after dropping my volume down to just above silent (very quiet) and then sending a text to my phone, the notification sound is now exactly as it should be.

I'll update again if anything changes but for now, so far so good.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Website should be back up and I've added an xdafileserver mirror to the downloads as well,
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ok then so probably the bug is within htc music app and/or any other files included in mudhi's beats mod. I'll take a look tomorrow morning and see if I can spot anything glaringly obvious
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ok, most of you by now will know there is a new base out and I want to let you know I am working on it but it seems every mod made for previous 3.32.x bases breaks the ROM so it all needs porting to 3.33 base (mods include Leedroid tweaks, mudhi's beats mod and HQ Camera) as a result of this my current list of things to do is very long and I dont know how easy or otherwise some of these are going to be to port so please bear with me :)
[HTC Sensation] leris:
Some further findings on Volume issues

I've re-flashed my phone to DarkForest Sensation XE 6.5.0 without beats. I've managed to get the alarm to sound regardless of ringtone volume (and it's loud).

Media is still based off Ringtone (so the Beats mod is not the issue at least for me), low ringtone, low media etc.

I've managed to find this now on other devices in the XDA forums using Sense 3.6 (For example, HTC Rezound).

Flashed back to CyanogenMod - issue persists. Perhaps... an Android 4.0.3/4.0.4 thing?

Each time I flash, using 4EXT Recovery, I format all partitions except SD card (delete what's on the card manually when I copy the rom over), and run super-wipe that comes with the installation.

Suppose from here I should go back to a much earlier mod I have saved and test from there.

Edit:

Even with 6.0.0 the sound is this way. I'm going to start assuming that it's quite possibly been this way for a while and I've never noticed until recently.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Hello guys! Anything new?

Jonny, if I don't ask too much, please do something so that in the next version, those bug reports not to appear any more, or maybe allow us to choose whether we need this facility or not..
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Which bug reports? :confused:

In any case I cant work on this for the next 6-7 days because I'm working everyday apart from Monday but on Monday I have to go into school to setup for a music concert on Thursday :/
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Well, there's a bugreport folder created in the SD and you can find many...bug reports in there. This didn't occure with stock.
[HTC Sensation] MarcLister:
Johnny, I'm sure we'll all wait as long as needs be. DarkForest is the best ROM I've found for my Sensation and I'll happily wait for the 3.33 base release. :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Oh yeah, just noticed that folder on my sd card too from when it was in my xe, weird, I'll look at it ASAP
[HTC Sensation] tekken1972:
New release

Any new releases soon?
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
Well, I'm selling my Sensation since I bought a Galaxy S3 and switched to Verizon. Just wanted to say thanks for the great ROMs since I have been using yours exclusively for the last 6 months or so. Also selling the phone with your ROM reflashed on it.

Thanks for the good work!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Traitor :p you move from HTC to Samsung :p lol joking, glad to know you enjoyed using the ROM and enjoy your new phone :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Depends what exactly you mean by soon, not this week though, I'm working all day everyday until saturday (apart from Thursday evening which I'm at school for a concert) - the shop I work for have a sale on saturday so all the staff get extra hours to help setup for it
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
Well, I have been wanting to switch to VZW for a long time because they have the fastest (and most prevalent) LTE network in the US. And since HTC hasn't really had a flagship phone on that carrier, I jumped ship. I was really hoping something comparable to the One X would come out for VZW, but it never happened. And the new Droid Incredible doesn't seem that incredible.

I must say though... 2 GB of RAM really makes this phone fly though. Of course, bootloader is locked (only carrier to do it). But oh well... LTE was worth it.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Locked and encrypted bootloader, ah well there are some amazing devs on samsung devices so you probably wont have to wait long to be able to flash custom roms :)

I dont blame you for not waiting for One X, there are a ton of manufacturing defects that affect wifi and more recently, yellow spots on the display if its fully charged, screen is warm or have been playing games on it for a while. Not up to the usual HTC standards so I'm glad I stuck with the sensation and didnt upgrade my contract ;)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Hello everyone!

Jonny, please don't forget to fix in the next version, the bugreport folder problem and the keys' sound which is too loud.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I think the debugging is caused but having adb persist debugging hack in the build.prop so I'll remove it then see if the folder still appears
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Okay, that would be great Jonny :)
[HTC Sensation] XthedoomlegacyX:
WI-FI not working on my sensation xe? why?

I downloaded the rom and everything went successful but when i want to connect to internet it says it is our of range?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I need more information than that, like a logcat. Sorry but this is the first report of anything like this so I need to know exactly what happened, what you chose in Aroma (get the Aroma log if you cant remember)
[HTC Sensation] XthedoomlegacyX:
Never mind got it to work. Thanks for the great rom :)
[HTC Sensation] Syns:
I like this Rom but the only thing um having issues is the battery life. Unplugged from charger an hour ago and now batt is at 80% with no use.
[HTC Sensation] jngfjngfvng:
First cycle will usually hammer the battery then it will settle down. Mine can stay at 100% after being on standby for 8+ hours and is rarely below 80% or so after a day at work with the odd call\email\text being sent and received.
[HTC Sensation] nnila:
I hear lots of people saying things like this but mine wont make it from wake up to bed time ever without being charged in between.

I have auto sync on, several apps that do background data and most other things set to normal.

Only way to get the type of performance you talk about is to turn off auto sync and data.

What settings do you have?
