Might be kernel related but I'm getting one or two hot reboots after manually rebooting my device. Weird thing is that even after a hot reboot, bluetooth and data work, on older roms and firmware they didn't start at all after hot rebooting.

So I don't consider it a big issue at all, already posted last_kmsg to bricked thread, just wondering if anyone else experienced this :)

Edit: something weird is happening: every time I lose network signal due to bad reception, or switch from 2g only to auto, when signal comes back Wifi disconnects and reconnects for a while. In essense, every time network signal drops, when it reconnects I lose wifi for a couple of seconds... weird

Is this normal? haven't noticed it before, anyone else experiencing this?

Edit2: seems this issue was caused by phoneweaver, uninstalled it, gave it some tries, wifi no longer disconnects on changing network mode or losing and regaining signal but it -does- disconnect and reconnect when exiting from flight mode.

I just found something else which is weird, when entering flight mode with bt/wifi on, they just stay on...
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
cancel that, wanted to edit previous post, sorry
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Not sure if its normal though hopefully within the next couple of weeks I'll have a new phone (still sensation xe - insurance decided my phone was "beyond economical repair" so they're sending me a new one - though it could take a while because it took them 2 months to decide on its repair status) so I'll be able to test and update this again - probably just bugfixes like google maps (I now have the stable 6.9.2 version of the app whereas google broke something in 6.10 and I cant be assed trawling though the smali trying to fix their cockup) and other 3rd party apps have been updated - such as SuperSU.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Thanks johnny, actually don't mistake my testing for a "rant" or complaint of any kind, on the contrary.

Losing wifi just after flight mode is something that doesn't bother me at all, and keeping them on when turning flight mode on actually is good for me,

I'll just keep testing these out of sheer curiosity :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Right now I'm concentrating on the tweaks because readers of that thread will know that RC 2.2.5 was a bit of a disaster :p so I've gone right back to the start using stock 3.32 files comparing them to m0narx's tweaks files to see exactly which lines of code were changed and replicating those changes on the 3.33 based files because when I originally started porting them I was basically guessing what to change and I was rushing to finish it because I was going on holiday and didnt have much time, therefore I made some mistakes. Now I have more time and im looking more carefully at the code changes so hopefully less bugs :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Oh I know you werent ranting :D my reply was a bit short because I've been staring at my screen for nearly 7 hours with the tweaks code and eyes are starting to hurt so im calling it a day for computer work - it comes from having really bad eyesight unfortunatly ;)
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
So, after a reflash (no superwipe) I still get those issues.

Long story short, can anyone test these out for a couple of seconds and let us know if they're experiencing them as well:

1) While Bluetooth and WiFi are on, if I enable Flight mode

they stay on

. If I then disable Bluetooth I can't enable it again until I exit Flight Mode

2) After exiting Flight Mode, WiFi disconnects and reconnects

just after

acquiring back network signal

TIA :)
[HTC Sensation] chev:
Wanted to know if FFC works on this rom. thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I have no idea, try it and find out, you can always restore a backup if you dont like it ;)
[HTC Sensation] chev:
Im still on stock (untoched). Just wanted to know if its working or not.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Johnny, show-p informed me that a couple of hot reboots I experienced were caused by the radio crashing and issuing the reboot command. I flashed the last version (11.69) with corresponding RIL and no more hot reboots till now :D

No apparent issues with using the 3.32 base radio, signal and call quality seem identical. I'll keep it till next update :)

Sadly, this didn't fix my previous "issues", still troubleshooting them, I'll probably try a full wipe and reflash when I get home.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
If that doesnt solve it, can you try and catch the issues in a logcat and I'll take a look at it :)
[HTC Sensation] laoruga:
Were can in find them? I am having the same issues
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:

[HTC Sensation] akpe:
That's the firmware thread :)

I got them from here, in second post. Search for the 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M radio (from the firmware release 3.30.401.1 & 3.30.401.101!), do not just copy into SD and flash from recovery, read the instructions on first post!

It is also recommended to flash the corresponding RIL (HTC-RIL 4.0.0013HMQ - h/t Omar302) this you do flash from recovery :)
[HTC Sensation] laoruga:
Thanks Jonny,,

I also tried to upgrade the radio but its still says 11.22.304.07_M

all the phone its says

Pyramud PVT Ship s-off rl

hboot 1.27.1100

Radio 11.22.3504.07_m

openADSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418

emmc-boot

never mind ...Read all the info and its suppose to say Radio 11.22.3504.07_m... thats for not reading ...
[HTC Sensation] Royalfox:
Anyone got a mirror for 6.6.0? Both links in the op say "webpage no available"

I know how to skip adds but it doesn't even reach that page

HTC Pyramid

I'll check that later, for now direct link:

[HTC Sensation] Dandle:
I'm having trouble getting tweaks RC3 to work with this rom. Every time I install it it causes sense to keep crashing, The lock screen works fine and I can select the phonebook from there, I can also get into settings etc through the pull down status bar but thats about it. Tried two full wipe installs and still no joy. Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Its com.htc.resources.apk again :( I'll fix this tonight but for now you can use the com.htc.resources.apk from RC 2.2.5 and it should fix that
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
(Johnny, I know you're overwhelmed with fixing the tweaks so don't read below :D)

I've got one not-so-serious issue (which I found a workaround for) and a quick question.

The issue:

After a normal reboot, 5-6 minutes into booting (whileloading all the apps etc) device hot reboots itself. After hot rebooting, everything is fine. No biggie, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

Probably has to do with the number of apps I have and the masxcreenoff frequency: it tries to load all the apps, screen closes, limits frequency to 486, possibly cpu can't handle the load and gives a reboot order.

I'd post a logcat or kmsg but there's no need since after the hot reboot it works flawlessly.

The question:

I've noticed that this is one of the few roms where hot reboot actually works! In other roms, especially the ones based on 3.32.x I would lose bluetooth and maybe data after a hot reboot but now my device is fully functional.

I've also noticed that all my apps from the SD are loading up in under a minute following a hot reboot, while it takes over 3-4 minutes after a normal reboot. Plus, I never get warnings like "process system is not responding wait/close" that I usually get on a normal reboot. That tends to happen with ~60 apps to sd (it happens with every rom I had, GB/ICS/Sense 3.6/Sense 4/0, it's not rom related).

So, quick question, since I tend to reboot every night, are there any drawbacks to hot rebooting instead of normal reboot? I mean it's the same as rebooting as far as memory/processes/clean slate are concerned, but could it actually somehow harm the device?

TIA!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Hot reboot reboots the OS only and not other things (I think). Personally I cant see any drawback to hot rebooting over normal rebooting.

As for the hot reboot, Does this happen without the tweaks or just when the tweaks are flashed? Also try raising the max screen off frequency slightly and does the hot reboot happen only when the screen is off or does it happen if the screen is kept on whilst the apps are loading?
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Just tried a reboot with no screen timeout, got no hot reboot just a "process system is not responding wait/close" error while struggling to load up everything (guess that's normal for a heavily loaded phone). Tapped on wait and it went away.

edit: haven't flashed tweaks yet :)
[HTC Sensation] laoruga:
It turn off by itself

I don't now what happen but whit almost 30 % of battery the phone just turn off by itself. No hot reboot just turn off by itself. Updated all the stuff to newest Firmware. Radio.PG5810000 everything and still turns off...... I am going to hit the phone with my hammer...RRRRRRRRRR
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Does that always happen or just once, and thats not something I can debug without a last_kmsg unfortunatly, if you can try and get the log - I think there is a utility in the Themes and Apps section for getting logs
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
Same thing happened to me several times.

Tried recalibrating the battery, but didn't help.

Changed the battery and now the problem is solved.

So I think it was the battery, not the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, any news about the tweaks? Have they been ported on 6.6.0?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Still one or two things to sort out - but I only have time at weekends now because of my A-Levels.

For the next version of the ROM I will let the users decide if they want tweaks to come as default.

What doesnt work - Screen Off apps (Rosie.apk related), Custom Carrier text in Lockscreen (problem with settingsdb.smali in idlescreen_base.apk)

What does work? Everything else.

So what I'm saying is you guys have options and the most popular one will go forward:

1. ALL tweaks files go into the ROM (including the Rosie.apk which will make screen off apps not work)

2. Only the stable tweaks into the ROM (modded Rosie.apk wont go into the ROM so screen off apps will work, however Idlescreen_base.apk will go into the ROM because it doesnt cause any FC and the rest of the lockscreen tweaks work just fine)

3. No tweaks go into the ROM

Please feel free to post which one you think should happen :)
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
2. Only the stable tweaks :good:
[HTC Sensation] goatee84:
I vote stable tweaks go into the ROM :)
[HTC Sensation] nnila:
Stable tweaks - or if you wanted to be REALLY cool - make it an option during installation :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I would but considering tweaks size is 65mb when compressed, that would probably just push the ROM to 550-600mb in size and unfortunatly not everyone has fast enough internet to be able to download something that big. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I want my ROM to look nice, move as fast as possible, but mostly I want it stable. So, I choose the 2nd option: only stable tweaks.

Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
I also vote for option #2 :)
[HTC Sensation] laoruga:
Welll

Option 2 only stable Tweaks. :good:
[HTC Sensation] rob111:
Just trying out this Rom for the first time. I have added the DFG tweeks and all is ok. If I am following things right there is a problem with the screen not timing out and turning off. I don't have this problem for some reason and the only problem I have found is the touch screen is not as precise as before. Maybe calibrating it will help. I have not tried changing the lockscreen carrier label in case it causes a problem and I don't need it.

Here are the steps I followed (some bits left out)

Started from last Leedroid sense 3.6 Rom with bricked kernal

Flashed this DF Rom with bricked after flashing user friendly 3.33 firmware

Flashed AHRD with Sebastian fm after their 3.33 firmware and superwipe

Reflashed this Rom with bricked after full wipe and 3.33 firmware from [DEV] HTC Sensation & HTC Sensation XE firmware | Partitions Info | [11.07.2012]

Used romcleaner with near default script but kept stocks and removed facebook and twitter.

Added DFG tweeks and used romcleaner to restore my apps and settings

The first time I flashed this Rom I used the orange xe version which caused the CPU to use a lot of power (bottom of screen was hot) but on xe version it runs fine.

I vote for keeping tweeks separate unless there is a clear advantage such as a large memory saving.

It's early days but all is well so far - thanks to Jonney and everyone else who helped with this set up.

Edit - Well it was too good to last as now the screen stays on. Don't know why but I noticed it after receiving an sms so it may have something to do with the message screen on option in tweeks.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Confirmed bug with the tweaks, I have no idea which file is causing it though so I'll wait until I release an update for the tweaks which will include a "debug" mode and hopefully make it easier to find which file causes problems - more details in the tweaks thread.

Because of the above issue the ROM will for now just be a bug patcher - thankfully there's not much to patch up so I'm aiming for 1-2 weeks release date (workload depending). Next tweaks update should be wednesday-saturday this week, I'll take the stuff into school because I have 2 free's on wednesday (2 out of only 5 over 2 weeks I might add) and make use of one of the schools computers :)

Edit: People with Orange UK signal booster thing, someone said that they added a line into default.prop file, can someone tell me what that line is?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I'll revise that, I now know exactly what is causing screen timeout bug (thanks to rob111 - see here) so I'll either fix that tweak or not include it in the ROM.

So far option 2 (stable tweaks) is the most popular option and is looking like the one that will go forward into the ROM
[HTC Sensation] slipknotfn:
Hey Jonny,

Dunno if this helps but I was running 6.5 as a daily driver for about 2 weeks or so (my version of 6.6 on my sd got corrupt from me messing with it and I was too lazy to download another). It was smooth as butter in a hot skillet. No problems, great battery life, pretty much everything one could ask. So I decided to mess with the tweaks, right? And over the course of 12 hours I had com.android crash 3 times, the phone becoming very slow to unresponsive and finally HTCsencse crashing and the phone becoming useless. I did a battery pull and restart only to have the same things happen but in rapid cascade fashion. So I restored to stock TMOUS ICS for now. I did not install a logcat yet but I have it now so I can be of more help. I did, in tweaks, adjust rosie to the middle setting, the % battery to small, got rid of some things in quick settings pull down and brought that menu forward on pull down (with no notifications). Thats all I changed. I'm thinking its the rosie mod. I will attempt to replicate with logcat running tomorrow. But for now its off to work. Hope any one of my ramblings helps to narrow your search, and make your ROM more awesome. And thanks again for all your awesome work.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
So you were using 6.5.0? did you use the tweaks app that comes by default in that ROM or did you flash my ported tweaks?
[HTC Sensation] slipknotfn:
Sorry took a while to get back. Been busy with work and kids. Haven't checked here in a bit. Yes I was using 6.5 with the installed tweaks. I did not flash the additional package for 6.6. The malfunction was from the one that is installed with the ROM. I am going to try to replicate the conditions tonight since it is a slower night at work, relatively speaking. Hoping to be able to have something more than ramblings for you to look at and piece together.
[HTC Sensation] rob111:
With the latest Rom, after flashing the last message zip file you gave us in the tweaks thread I also had com.android crash while near the end of the first 2 reboots. I have not had it happen again (with 3 full reboots). I have just got back from Thailand so will be able to do some more testing.

Standby battery life is still remarkable - over 6 hours without dropping 1 percent even with Bluetooth and WiFi on! If we can get the screen off problem sorted this combination (of Rom, tweaks and kernal etc.) will be hard to improve on. My Orange signal at home is not as good as I was getting on holiday so it will be interesting what effect that will have on battery life but so far it is still the same. :good:
[HTC Sensation] EndOfDays-Wildfire:
I really want to install this Rom but my Sensation hungs up at bootscreen(tried without and with Superwipe, no success; tried V6.6).

Has anyone a solution?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Choose bricked kernel, I made a mistake in scripts for sebastianFM kernel (already fixed for next update though) :)
[HTC Sensation] aeromarknyc:
Wi-fi calling not enabling

any ideas on how to fix would be greatly appreciated. have the latest v6.6 installed, not sure when it worked last but when I launch the Wi-fi Calling app it is stuck in the Enabling... status. toggled on and off, tried from various wifis...nothing. Wifi connections are great, I have full bars in T-Mobile cellular network. Im able to ping addresses with ping utility in Advanced settings.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I smell update cooking :p
[HTC Sensation] D F:
OMG! R u serial?! When exactly?

And..did u fix the keys sound amd that annoying bug report file? And what about the tweaks?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
When? Tonight hopefully, tomorrow latest

Fixed? Bunch of stuff - I'll post changelog later

Report logs in sd card - didnt I fix that in 6.6.0?

As for tweaks, only 1 user has tested my screen off timeout fix and it is working for him but I want others to confirm it as well. I wiill release an update for tweaks probably at the weekend (maybe delayed though - the amount of work Ive got is unreal) then if all is well and good it will go into the ROM (stable tweaks only)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Sry, I didn't install 6.6.0. But if you did, hanks for fixig that bugreport thing.

So no tweaks for now?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No but after the tweaks update I will release an OTA with them in (that should give a big clue about another feature added in) ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
ROM/Changelog/MD5 Updated! Enjoy :)
[HTC Sensation] nnila:
Ugh! Updated just yesterday after full wipe.

Now need to do it again lol.

OTA isn't working.
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Well, you don't get a headache reading repetitive questions in this thread, which says a lot about the people who are using this rom. I think Jonny is doing quite well in his pr and development work. You should check out the reviews he's getting for his beats mod. No bull...oh I forgot that one's taken.:p:D
[HTC Sensation] thelegendarylegends:
I got a thread for the overscrolling :D check my profile hehehe can't give u link right now cos I'm at mobile

Sent from my sensational HTC sensation's xda app
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Thanks, but the guru has passed on the secret of overscroll.:p:D
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I'm planing an update for either Saturday or Sunday, I'm focusing most on Orange.signal, TMOUS, and fixing really stupid bugs that where the result of my stupidity like the install script wiping the entire data partition when it shouldnt touch data, only system, Also it has the latest Beats Audio ICS 2.1 incorporated, not yet available to download on my other thread for the mod :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Also next update won't be as big as 3.2.1 it should be only about 420-430mb instead of nearly 570mb!! :D
[HTC Sensation] budeone:
Endless boot loop here also. Updated firmware and same thing.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Bad download? Check MD5 and redownload then reflash. No one else has had a bootloop so its not a ROM problem
[HTC Sensation] Panchulo77:
This the best of ICS rom I hace tested , fast smooth nearly flawless but I'm having some problems to play games with it they run smooth but randomly freez and continue after a few seconds , may be I'm doing something wrong ?
[HTC Sensation] budeone:
I have it working now, I was having an issue with the firmware I guess I didnt go through it right the first time.

I installed and it says I don't have root access now. Super user shows fine but aps that require super user are denied.

I just noided back for the time being..

Any suggestions?

I want to get my buddy on this, it looks nice. I ever tried to reflash super user.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Again its not a ROM problem, I think you need to reflash the 2.6.something Su-signed.zip from the S-OFF, root SuperCid thread
[HTC Sensation] liamski:
Looks good and wanna give this a try. What is the 3.2.2 on the ftp uploaded today?
[HTC Sensation] budeone:
When I install a different rom I dont have this issue. I am going to try it again. :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Test version of 3.2.2 so that I could download it quickly when not at home, it has some bug fixes like tmous and orange but not others like fixing the deleting data partition when install, you can flash it but do a nandroid of data then restore it after ROM flash
[HTC Sensation] liamski:
Thanks, I'll give it a go, going to be a completely clean install anyway. Cheers...
[HTC Sensation] budeone:
Working great.. Installed and every app shows root. Thanks guys for the nice rom.

Thanks button hit!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Cheers

I will stick to my original update scheldule posted earlier today despite a new leak. Only one person has that and is not willing to do the decent thing and share (open-source violation?)

Rant over, apologies for starting in first place

So for now my efforts lie in improving the 3.12.401 base
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Following further developments, I have revised my decision to stick to the planned update schedule, version 3.2.2 is already in the FTP and fixes all but one bug so I am happy for users to.download it.

From tomorrow (I seriously need some sleep!) I will start work on the new 3.24.401 RUU thanks to capychimp for upload :)
[HTC Sensation] budeone:
I see this is going to be fun playing with his phone.

Do you have a mod you suggest for removing the (100) in the battery and a 4g icon verse the H icon.

My buddy is a little googhy...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Afraid I don't have the none-edited framework-res.apk anymore, I prefer battery % and overscroll. Just download a ROM, and ROM and extract framework-res then flash it.

For the 4G icon, I don't have that either sorry, I can try to get it and then inject the files into SystemUI.apk but that will be a fairly low priority for now
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
which one, ota app or intergrated Sense UI?

Edit: If its Sense UI one can you post screenshots of what your looking at on screen when selecting software updates etc etc :)
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
not sure what you mean by sense UI - but ota app gives me only 6.6.0 in rom list...

do i need to update from 6.5.0 to 6.6.0 first - or is there a new ota app to dl somewhere? or is there something wrong w ota?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I think I've fixed it - it was a problem with different MD5's - the generator app I use generates MD5 in caps letters whereas goo.img + OTA Update Center like it without caps
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
so do i need to update the ota app somehow?

still only showing 6.6.0 here...

how does updating via sense ui work - where?

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

why not add it to download site instead of ota only - esp considering ota is n/a? ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Sense UI is in 6.6.1 and above only because until then the needded files (CheckinProvider.apk, HtcCOTAClient.apk, Updater.apk) were not in the ROM because I hadnt modded them to connect to my server instead of HTC's :)

I'm using v6.7.0 as a test of whether the Sense UI OTA works or whether I need to edit my scripts - go into settings > system >software updates etc ect... the normal way to recieve an OTA from HTC :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Its on the download site...
