Just had a very weird issue.

I reflashed 7.0.0 with the updated script to fix aroma settings. Right after the first boot, photos and music were disappearing constantly from HTC Gallery and HTC Music.

After first boot, opened up both programs, music and pics were there. However the next time I opened HTC Gallery, pictures and albums loaded up normally but suddenly I got the "no pics or albums found" message.

Rebooted a couple of times, everything fine at first but after a couple of minutes the same.

Tried everything I could think of, unmounted/remounted the SD, cleared gallery/music/media storage cache, rebooted and ran SD Rescan multiple times, deleted /data/data/com.android.providers.media folder and rebooted, cutting/pasting all my pics and music files to a new folder, nothing.

Any ideas? :/

Edit: seems like cutting/pasting all my pics and music files to a new folder and then rebooting fixed it. MediaScannerService is running at ~40-60% cpu for 8m now, too scared to check, will wait till it finishes :P

Edit2: yep, that did the trick. Guess I'll have to do this every time I flash a rom... no biggie it;s just a matter of 5 minutes. Just wondering what could be the cause
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Well, it seems it is not such an isolated problem. I quit on trying because all my ringtones rest after evrery restart. Got back to 6.6.0 and tweaks, latest version..

About tweak.... I have chosen last option and it seems that some apps don't close even after restart (YM is one of them).
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Once again having issues with (some) sms notifications not playing/showing... I have to open messages to see there's a new sms.

I'm also missing some messages entirely, delivery reports show them as delivered on my other number but they don't appear in messages...

Anyone else?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Update soon, just waiting for it to show up on the website, its been done for a while but I havent had time to upload it before now due to work and various other things.

And now I must:

a) finish the 4 pieces of further maths homework I got today (no I'm not exaggerating :/ )

b) focus on Sense 4.1 ROM :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
What kind of update? Will it be a new software version?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No, just bug fixes, still cant emulate the ringtones thing so I'll probably start swapping files from the RUU again and see which one(s) fix it :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
So, u did discover there was an issue with ringtones?

Will theose fixes be included in the 7.0.0 ROM, or only a zip update?

What will they exactly fix? If the problem with ringtones remains, I'll stick to 6.6.0.
[HTC Sensation] Isis111:
Hey Jonny, just wanted to let you know I sent you a donation for your drivers license fund. Rom is still rocking!!! and the bonus is that I now have blue overscroll, my fav color.

Two quick questions, I noticed the revolution just posted an upgrade to the ICS firmware, have you tried it yet? If so, is it possible to flash the new firmware over the existing without re-flashing the ROM?? DOWNLOAD 3.24 Revolutionary: http://goo.gl/DZete
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
thanks :)

The revolution firmware package is necassary ONLY for ROM's based off the 3.24.401 RUU Base and it will cause bootloops with any other base ROM. Yes i have tried it and am running it quite happily with the 4.1.0 update I am currently uploading (note: it is in my FTP but please dont download just yet as only about 230MB has been uploaded - 1 hour left aprox, my internet speed is especially slow tonight) Therefore the answer to the second question is "no" because you will get bootloops :cool:
[HTC Sensation] -fluffy-:
the 3.24 Revolutionary: is a pached version off mike´ one

the 3.24 Revolutionary: is pached fore Fastboot commands
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I know, im using the Revolutionary one ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Version 4.1.0 is out finally ;)

I will update the change log later because my dad turned my PC off before I could (most of it is in OP anyway)

Once again I remind other chefs/devs that if I forgot to credit you, please send me PM and I will do it ASAP.

Thanks :)

P.S improvements, comments and suggestions are always welcome ;)

EDIT: Remember to update your firmware to 3.24.401 or you WILL experience bootloops.

EDIT2 : Only add-on for now is green overscroll because by popular request, ROM comes with Blue Overscroll
[HTC Sensation] bibihtc:
Downloaded twice, bad file won't install. No md5 checksum.

Waiting for the good one.

Thx Jonny.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
thanks :) will try it out on the weekend
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ok I will try reuploading again tonight. Maybe my internet speed was too slow yesterday, took me a total of 2 hours 35 mins yesterday. I will try to take advantage of my school's fast uplink today and provide a mirror
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
Looking forward to test this new baby!! :)
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
Same with me. :(
[HTC Sensation] maxakato:
I want AOSP ICS in you rom,pls:D:D

My device is Sensation XE
[HTC Sensation] jony117:
Same with me.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I know and will reupload it soon but I can't do much when I'm on the school bus :D (then I have work to do when I get home so maybe I can start the upload in about 2-3 hours)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Unfortunately compiling AOSP code from source takes like 8 hours which is more than I have on my PC (even at weekends) and I can't leave it compiling overnight.

There is a half solution however, just use the AOSP mods from that thread to remove the sense ui from the ROM
[HTC Sensation] budeone:
I just downloaded DarkForest Sensation XE ICS 4.1.0

I am going from

DarkForest Sensation XE ICS 3.2.1

Will this have the beets audio in it.. I saw in a post a page or so back that I have to install it myself.. Is that correct?

Darn I just saw this rar is bad. Never mind.. waiting on the new upload.
[HTC Sensation] JohnnyBlack10:
[/QUOTE]Darn I just saw this rar is bad. Never mind.. waiting on the new upload.[/QUOTE]

Of course it's bad ... is big only 68.1 MB LoL
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I'm uploading it now from my phone (pc is not an option today unfortunately) and I found an FTP Client app on the market which I didn't mind paying for so the file will increase in size until it is fully uploaded at ~430MB. Please do not download until ALL 430MB is displayed or until I say it is fully uploaded
[HTC Sensation] budeone:

Yea, I just hit the download and wasnt paying attention to the size. I am at work. ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
~330mb uploaded so won't be long now :)
[HTC Sensation] budeone:
Jonny, does this have the beats in this already?
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
lol, after reflashing the rom with a full wipe, I also get the ringtones issue.

I set ringtone and notification tone to the ones of my choice, and a couple of hours later they're back to default.

So far I haven't figured out how to replicate it, seems to happen at random times. Will try a reflash (without wipe) later tonight to see if that fixes it.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Hmm, I may have one theory on this, did you change any of the tweaks before a first reboot after a full wipe, I managed to replicate it 5 mins ago and I full wiped, same options as before but last time I left the phone alone for 10 mins then rebooted then changed the tweaks to my preferred preferences but this time I changed tweaks straight away then changed ringtone and rebooted then my ringtone set to default.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Nope, I did not :/.

I was testing the photo/music disappearance issue and all I did before rebooting after the first boot was to complete the setup, let it scan for pictures/music for 10 mins and then reboot again.

Only thing I did was to bring down the quicksettings and enable "screen on".

But, I did change the tweaks (quicksettings reorder/background color on app drawer-notification pulldown-recent apps/ultrasmooth rosie/remove "apps" label), about 1hour after flashing and restoring my apps, that's about the time I started losing custom options.

Something else: last time the ringtone reverted to "quetly brilliant", when I tried to select my own custom ringtone it was nowhere on the list. It was like the media scanner had not scanned it at all (even though the device hadn't rebooted for 12 hours and it worked ok before).

After one or two minutes, it appeared again on the list. Weird.

D F, did you select a custom ringtone (from an .mp3 for example) or a generic/default one? If that happens only with custom .mp3 or ringtones, could it be a problem with the media scanner?
[HTC Sensation] D F:
akpidis, thank God this doesn't only happen in my case. I started to think that my phone was crazy or something. I have only used default ringtones, and my ringtone list usually disappears, too when I access it.

Jonny, I'd say it was't a tweaks related problem cause I am using tweaks, latest version, on 6.6.0 and everything works fine.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
ROM Updated, enjoy :)
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
And once again I'm starting to "lose" messages. Hope 7.1 will fix that somehow :D

Something weird I noticed (on 7.0.0). While browsing Flipboard I sent myself a message from another device, and a couple of minutes later, while still on Flipboard I noticed the lockscreen appearing on the bottom part of the screen, like "flashing" for a fraction of the second.

It did not lock the screen, just appeared for a milisecond, enough to identify it as the lockscreen and then disappeared.

I did not get the message on my sensation, but that "lockscreen flash" happend at the same time I got the delivery report on the other device.

Could that be somehow related?

edit: hmm should I select "update only" or "normal wipe" in aroma? :D

edit2: after first boot, everything (pictures in HTC gallery/music in HTC music/custom ringtones) seem fine :D
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I'll give it a try in a few minutes. Fingers crossed.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
After completing a full reboot, only some of my albums and pictures show up n HTC gallery, it only shows video folders... I'll wait a couple of minutes in case media scanner hasn't finished yet.

edit: moved all picture folders to new ones. Mounted card and gave it 10 minutes to scan. Opened HTC gallery, all pictures were there. Opened HTC Music, all music was there. Went to set a custom ringtone, could not find music files! Opened HTC Gallery and HTC Music, everything was gone. After 2 minutes my files were back without me doing anything.

Media scanner is on crack I guess :D
[HTC Sensation] dollyaja:
W(^o^)W new one, the previous already give me a superb sensation with smoothness and battery life, I'll download it soon :thumbup:
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Ringtones still reset, back to 6.6.0.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Normal wipe if coming from v7.0.0 - update only will only work for versions after 7.1.0 because for versions before there is no saved configuration :)
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
Geting som weard things on 7.0. The SD Card is mounted/remounted or somting to late.

Apps installed on the DS dont get the propper icons untill u whait .

Yanks Swap on SD dont work

Ring tones is alsow related to SD cards geting mounted to late so Sense dont think its there and applyes the default ons.

Gona try flashing 7.1 now and se if it works.

BTW Init.D is a mess. never in my life seen so many skripts .. are u kidding me?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
1. You need to have a SWAP partition on SD card to use Yanks swap thing, not my problem unless its ROM related (which it isnt).

2. The init.d scripts all serve their purpose and having lots of small ones helps me to keep track of things instead of 1 big one - its clearer in logcats if something goes wrong because it says "executing (insert_name_of_file)". All lines in init.d are there for a reason, I didnt just think "Yeah lets add more scripts" they all do different thing and yes I know other ROM chefs dont include many scripts, that's their choice, this is mine and it works for me.

3. In every single Sense 3.6 ROM SD card takes time to mount, it cant be done instantly.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Err somehow I lost the HTC Notes widget?! Actually many HTC widgets are missing from the widgets list.

However they appear normally on "more htc widgets" on top of the widget list.

Weird. I'm gonna try a reflash
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Clear Sense data :)
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
@Jonny thanks, I just reflashed 7.1.0 over again and widgets appeared again :D

Didn't want to set up all my widgets again ;)

@maydayind, actually with this ROM apps from SD load a lot faster than ARHD/Elegancia.

After a normal reboot all SD apps are loaded within two minutes (maximum), less than 40 seconds after a hot reboot. And I personally have more than 70 apps on SD.

Back on Elegancia it took them more than 3-4 minutes to show up. Same on ARHD, thats why I used to reboot only with hot reboots.

As for ringtones, my phone rang seconds after I rebooted (using a custom .mp3 ringone) and it played just fine.

I believe app loading and also media scanning are kernel related, i/o scheduler to be more specific. Are you using CFQ?

Check the scheduler link on my sig ;)

Now that I'm thinking about it, does anyone recommend Noop over Deadline (to be used with Ondemand). Is it purely kernel related or does Noop have any universal advantages/disadvantages?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Glad it sorted itself out :)

I think there is a thread about schedulers in Sensation General but I havent read it so I dont know for sure the advantages and disadvantages, all I know is that deadline is the default for most stock kernels.
[HTC Sensation] pyramid:
Hi Jonny,

I was going through OP and could not find change log for 30-Oct. am i looking at correct page?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yes, I havent updated the changelog due to lack of time because my workload has already reached panic levels and I've only been back at school 2 days :/ I'll hopefully have time to update the changelog at the weekend but the one for v7.1.0 can be found in aroma installer
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
would loooove to try 7.1.0 but aroma keeps failing on flashing tmobile gps config...I have attached logs for you.
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
Also..bravia engine not selectable in aroma? Is this on purpose?
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
Should I flash something else in the meantime? Or is it an easy fix?
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
Was anyone able to flash 7.1.0 yet?.....
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Bravia is in the ROM by default. I will fix the tmous thing ASAP, thanks for reporting it :)
[HTC Sensation] pyramid:
Yes n running great.
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
whell i Do have a swap partition and load time on my other xe is instant.

alsow i run 7.1 but your ota app whant to downgrade me to 7.0. cant even read the text its all xml.

had to try 4 Times to get the aroma installer working. it just skiped the installing just wiped and Said it whas finnished.
[HTC Sensation] mclaren2:
i get the notification via ota updater that a new version (7.1.0) is ready, it downloads but thats it... no installation and i cant find the downloaded file anywhere in folders....
[HTC Sensation] makila:
Same here, it is downloading the change log it says, then stops when complete and doesn't download a file at all. Reboot prompts to download the change log again.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ok, I'll remove it from the database, seems like there is something wrong with the OTA app, I'll look into it
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
Installed two times now with full wipe .. same SDcard seams to be remounted so i lose swappiness.

Apps installed on SD dont get propper icons untill 30sec after boot

Installed Elegansa Blitz Rom.

Swap works .. All icons ar as thay shuld at Sens start .. So it is a rom isue .. your rom. u might whana look in to it

Keap upp the god work .. when u fix this rom il install it .. untill then in on blitz

Keap upp the god work
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Can Swap work in conjunction with zram? If no then thats the problem - delete 90zram from /system/etc/init.d :)

I will make zram an option in aroma for future version :)
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
When will a fixed version of 7.1.0 be up?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It does install just not with tmous, but you can always flash the tmous add on later. And I dont when I will be able to release a fixed version.
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
Will it break anything if select my sensation as a sensation XE at install instead of tmous? I could care less about WiFi calling if hats all it breaks...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No, it won't break anything
[HTC Sensation] pyramid:
Hi Jonny,

Do we need to flash DarkForest Tweaks Sensation 2.1.0.zip separately or they are already part of 7.1.0?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Already part of the ROM :)
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
ur Can be used together but i dont even use z ram. it works on every other rom so i think it has to Do with this rom. even tryed to remove all files from init.d exept swap. dident work
[HTC Sensation] goatee84:
Sorry to have to resurrect this bug but I've just encountered the ringtone issue for the first time. Never had a problem on 7.0.0 but since flashing 7.1.0 this morning I have found my ringtone reset to default twice after a reboot. Did anyone else find a cause/solution for this or did it just sort itself out?
[HTC Sensation] mandeep294:
is there any option to get aosp settings ,statusbar etc on top of this rom. i tried an aosp package by shnizlon but its gives me FCs..
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Shnizlon didn't update the theme to be compatible with 3.33 base
[HTC Sensation] mandeep294:
so no other way to get aosp framework(settings etc)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Apart from flashing an AOSP ROM? Unfortunately not.
[HTC Sensation] smhouston:
I was wondering if we need S-OFF to flash this ROM? I currently have Sensation XE which I've rooted, got 4EXT installed and managed to unlock the bootloader, but the HBOOT is 1.29 and it is S-ON. The software number is 3.33.401.153, with android 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6 (currently just stock)

Not tried any custom ROMs yet and thinking of trying this one first (and hopefully be my last one if I find it good enough). Bit of a noob with this advanced stuff so don't want to brick my phone or anything.
[HTC Sensation] maidangisme:
very fast and stable ROM thanks, how to keep wifi never turn off? i use viber and during srceen off wifi always off... Thanks to All.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
If its in daylight hours then this can be changed in settings, however at nighttime you need to use the bundled smartsync disabler app so that HTC smartsync doesn't turn off your wifi
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No you dont need S-OFF but you need to enable SmartFlash in the 4EXT recovery if you are S-ON
[HTC Sensation] smhouston:
Excellent. Cheers!!
[HTC Sensation] smhouston:
Does the remote installation of apps from the Play store website work? Just tried and doesn't seem to download anything.

Also, if I go on the OTA Updater, for the Updates part it says "Error fetching update info: Invalid ROM (DarkForest) & device (pyramid) combo!"
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yes it does, it just takes a while, same as any other ROM - google have to process it then send the correct file. As for the OTA app, there was some errors in it so I removed the ROM from the database
[HTC Sensation] DarkLP:
Hi, I found this rom and decided to flash it. I formated all partitions expect SD card in recovery,then I Super WIped in ROM installation but when instalation finishesh, I press Reboot and it reboots to HTC splashscreen then flashesh black and back to HTC screen and then back to recovery. I', using Sensation 4G TMOUS and yes, I chose that option in installation. THanks.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thre is an issue with the Sensation 4G option which I have fixed in the next version, for now though just choose any other then if you want wifi calling there is a thread around somewhere with a flashable zip that will add it
[HTC Sensation] DarkLP:
Is it releasing anytime soon?Sorry for asking about ETA, I really on Wi-FI calling and my contacts are backed up at MobileLife or whatever its called.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Honestly I don't even know myself when I'm going to be able to do it :( I got put for working 5-11pm today (which I've just finished) and 12am-10pm tomorrow so I spent whatever time I had today getting my homework sorted (still isn't done - I have a psychology essay and some maths to at least start before I go to bed) then whilst I was doing that I had my computer doing various things on the Sense 4.1 port (got it to a point where I now have logcats) and also I'm still migrating all my programs to windows 8 (I chose clean install so I could get rid if programs I no longer need).

As a second point what I'd like to do for the next version is start from RUU again in terms of apk and jar files so I can see if it fixes the ringtone reset bug (which after several tests seems to happen sporadically and not follow a pattern so its not an init.d or other script in the ROM - it would happen every time otherwise so its likely to be apk or jar). In short I'd like to make the update worthwhile and not just download a 528mb file for a version change :)

Also whilst I'm in the mood for explanations, just a short note that probably during January-March next year I will have to ease up on android stuff (maybe stop altogether) for a few reasons:

1. Exams in January (put into perspective I have a total of 7 exams because of further maths, most people only have 3-4)

2. School drama production, I'm now basically in charge of the entire technical side of it and not just lighting, this year it is South Pacific which won't be as challenging as We Will Rock You last year but will still require me to attend a fair amount of rehearsals (including weekend rehearsals) and staying in school to program everything when we get the hire equipment in.

3. Exams in July - it seems a long way away I know but I have a feeling I'm going to have to revise a lot more for A-Level than at GCSE.
[HTC Sensation] InfinityFTW:
I know that feel bro. This week has been a hell for me, my week was like this: Spanish Test, Norwegian School writing, National Math Test, algebra test, Norwegian presentation about main character of a book, a biology hand-in. And if that wasn't enough, we have something called Revy, which is a humor show made by the students at my school, so I was at the school 16:30- 21:30 every day. So I can relate to the time problem! Keep on going, and good luck at school!! :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, anything about the sound reset problem? I am still at 6.6.0. :( It's the last version that worked....perfectly if I may say.

Good luck with school, work and software "tunning" activities...busy dude...
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
Strange, I haven't got these sound problems.

Updated from 6.6.0 to 7.0.0 without superwipe and everything works, even OTA updater... :confused:
[HTC Sensation] D F:
It seems to be an isolated problem. I wonder what can cause it...and why is that it only happens to some users... Since 6.6.0, all ROMs had that problem.
[HTC Sensation] djboris:
Hi Jonny,

I guess S-OFF is necessary.

In my EU Sensation with S-ON the 6.0.0 was not OK.

The WiFi was wrong. Always shows error. Somewhere (in one blog I do not remember) I found,

lets try with S-OFF the ICS custom ROM if you have error.

I have a nice Juponutbear bootloader, then everithing was fine.

For 7.0.0 you did not mention I have to wait more than 15min for the first boot... ( I thought first it stuck on the Beats like boot loop... :) )

But the new reboot sceen perfect, thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Can you remind me what the sound reset problem was please - a lot has happened in the last few weeks and I've forgotten.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
You should have 4EXT recovery and enabled smartflash to flash on an S-ON phone. Honestly I have never had to wait more than 10 mins for it to load up after a full wipe but it varies from phone to phone :)
