Hi guys,

I try to flash this ROM in my HTC SENSATION, but, I didn't succeed, I was staked in the first screen obf bootloader. I was waiting more than 2 hour without any result. Is anyone facing the same issue?

Perhaps I miss something, it's just 2 weeks I start to use this phone
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Latest versions do this for some reason - 6.6.0 is the latest verison that doesnt do it.

As far as progress goes, I have diffed the builds and move all changed files into a folder ready to be made into zips - I have also been working on a Sense 4.1 ROM with the mikrosense team and also merging the tweaks code with that of michaelm_007, tweaks will be updated either tonight or tomorrow (probably tonight) with the zips due to be released sometime between tomorrow and Sunday, no ETA for the Sense 4.1 ROM (cant be more specific than that because it depends on homework, work etc etc.)
[HTC Sensation] cameleon39:
Thanks jonny for your answer and your hard work.:good:

I'll wait the next Rom.
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
So Jonny are those One x One packa coming soon?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
? Sorry, didnt understand that :confused:
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
Autocorrect ;op - those One by One packs we were supposed to flash to fond the culprit?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
yep, soon, tweaks are now updated and confirmed fully working (thank God!) and I've learnt why SettingsDB.smali wasnt working (damn smali) ;)

I'll make the zips tomorrow lunch and hopefully upload tomorrow evening or Saturday morning (I'm working Saturday evening/night again so it will have to be done in the morning)
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
Waiting for this!!! Sense 4.1, i tried others, seems to work fine but i'm not comfortable with themes. Hope for the fine release.

Thanks Jonny & the TEAM...
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, please do domething about that bugreports folder.

And..will the new software version also include Sense 4.1?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Does it not get deleted in 6.6.0?

The Sense 4.1 will be an entirely new ROM (DarkSense) - a joint effort between me and the mikrosense team :)
[HTC Sensation] slobo2712:
sorry for noob question but can i install this on ordinary sensation in headline is writen DarkForest Sensation XE 6.7.3
[HTC Sensation] mikrosmile:
Yes, you can install. The rom goes for all sensation versions
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
6.7.3 Will not work on any phone! Install 6.6.0 - that works fine for both regular sensation and xe. Best rom out there hands down! Do it!
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Unfortunately, it does not. It generates even more reports.

About 4.1, please tell us more...

And, yeah, when do you estimate a new version of Darforest will be available?
[HTC Sensation] mikrosmile:
As far as we done something we will update you soon)

the name will be DarkSense and has full Sense 4.1 with lots of improvement tweaks and combined staff from MikroSense Lightning and Jonny's source )
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
Noob question: can i install a XE rom on normal sensation? Is the same thing apart the beats audio ( btw ported ) ?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] budeone:
Thanks for responding. Its amazing what he cares about.

Its running great so far. He actually likes it. This is about the 5th rom I have tried.
[HTC Sensation] Panchulo77:
I can't still not beleive how smooth this Rom is .... I have a couple of problems with games but a couple of reboots and everything is more than fine ....
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
that could be a good marketing strategy...delay the implementation of anything new into the mod for a week or so to get people to install the whole rom :D

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

yes, i have...you will need to have 4EXT recovery so you can select the correct options when installing the ROM...make sure to also update to ICS firmware
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yes you can install XE ROM on normal sensation.
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
Ok so i need 4ext touch rcovery and Which is the correct option for installing xe version? Is automatic or it will ask me?
[HTC Sensation] KeiranFTW:
I think it is automatic, correct me if I am wrong.

@Jonny, good work here :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Cheers keiran :)

On 4EXT Touch it will ask, on CWM it will use defaults of "no"
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
Looking forward to this! Seems WiFi-tethering is working in this version. :p
[HTC Sensation] SickL1408:
Heavily looking forward to your work on the new base. And I am so missing the BEATS! :/ I hope you would incorporate your Beats Mods to the new ROM soon Jonny! :D
[HTC Sensation] parzifal:

[HTC Sensation] PCLiteratesJax:
Link is dead :(

All megaupload and multiupload links are dead. Is there a way to upload this ROM to a different host? Thanks a bunch !!
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
megaupload was shut down, so that won't work

these ones linked in the first post work for me

Depositlinks

Fileserve

WUpload

as well as the FTP link

so you should try again
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Oh man, this is really unfair. I spend all weekend trying to get framework-res.apk to decompile and recompile properly to add stock % battery only to find out at 10pm yesterday UOT Kitchen now supports ICS :(

Anyway I will resume work on a v4.0.0 ROM tonight because I focused mainly on attempting to get beats working with the new ROM's and well, it half works but I can put it in an update later.
[HTC Sensation] bibihtc:
Nice ROM, good job Jonny.

Running 3.2.1 for a couple of days now smooth and fast. One little bug constantly appear: when I click a web link the browser FC. After 3 attempt browser open and everything work.

Thx
[HTC Sensation] Franklees:
I was a little hesitant to try this rom, but i gave it a shot. I am very impressed sir. This rom is silky smooth and virtually no problems for me except beats. You did a good job, I give you respect.
[HTC Sensation] Panchulo77:
I have been like four days with this Rom and have been trying to broke every single hour I spent with it, I can't report any problem ,

Only browser close itself now and then ....
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thanks, for an update on my progress with the new 3.24.401 base please see the Beats Audio XE & ICS thread in my signature, I hope to have it up by tomorrow at the latest, I just have 2 bugs to fix, one with my updater-script (it currently says "Is your device Beats Audio ICS XE?, only for HTC Sensation XE" which is a stupid mistake :o ) and the other is actually forgetting to include the beats .bin images in the ROM!!
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
heehheee :p

edit: and i'm still on your ROM and have no thoughts of changing and have no problems
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
Same here, it just rockzzz!! ;)
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
I can't wait!! I hope it gets release before I leave outta state today.

[HTC Sensation] D F:
Thanks for the reply mikrosmile!

So 4.1 will be fully funcional on Sensation?! OMG, this is really good news!

Do you have an ETA?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Should be functional apart from current Sense 4 bugs (HDMI out) No ETA, I am about to upload a test version for mikrosmile to work on as well (I will still have a copy so will keep adding stuff) but this means we dont have to upload a 400-500MB ROM file every time we make a change, we just upload the file changed then at the end of the testing/adding phase we compile all the changes into 1 ROM :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
HDMI out bugs? I'm using that MHL cable. It won't work with Sense 4.1?

And Jonny, what about a new and functional Darkforest +tweaks version?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Downloading the 3.33.401.153 RUU now so yeah next version will include this and the tweaks :)

Maybe just using a new base RUU will stop the boot issues - I'll know soon enough anyway ;)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Got it Jonny, but what about HDMI?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
On the Sense 4.1 ROM? Not working.

@mikrosmile my connection keeps dropping out (because my family is on the net at the same time) so I'll try to get it sorted tomorrow morning before I go to work :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I understand. So, by HDMI, u mean MHL? Or it's another connection type?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No, when you use a usb>hdmi connector it wont work when outputting display - I have no idea if MHL works or not because its not something I use :p

In other news, I got fed up with trying to get through to the insurance company and my dad had an office day today (worked from home) so he phoned them up, spoke to a manager and basically they cant get it from their suppliers but didnt bother telling me, then they offered £300 Max to buy a new sensation, dad complained because that is going against their own policy (they replace the phone or offer the money of a new one up to £700). After about an hour on the phone, the manager gave up on trying to placate dad so just offered the full cost of the phone on condition that dad ordered the phone. This has been done, the phone has been dispatched and the confirmation email sent to the manager. Hopefull sometime next week I should have a brand new Sensation XE (please be 1.18.0000 hboot for revolutionary :p ) :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
God, Jonny, thaught dealers were tough only here in Ro. Iam glod it all sorted out for you and you will have another XE. Congratulations (MHL is also a HDMI connection, the only difference is that it uses the mini HDMI port and the charger on the same cable).
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Great news Jonny ;) At last you will be able to develop like a normal human being and not blindly :D
[HTC Sensation] slipknotfn:
Good work by your dad not backing down to the man either. Get after it. Dang insurance companies.
[HTC Sensation] dblak75:
suck on beats Audio screen...Help?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
flash 6.6.0
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
I thought it was 6.6.0 that was last stable?

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G in a DarkForest by Jonny
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Typo :p Edited the post now :)
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
Haha so when are you going to release the next version?

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G in a DarkForest by Jonny
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
A few days after I get my phone (so I can actually test it instead of releasing untested/buggy stuff that has a 50/50% chance of working :p )
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
I'll test for you bro, I'll send logcat if I encounter problems :D

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G in a DarkForest by Jonny
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
So one by one stuff is not happening then?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No, I'm going to be able to test the next version so there wont be any need, also I'm hoping a complete ROM rebase will solve whatever the problem is :)
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
Aha so your phone is Here in a few Days? Finally ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Tomorrow or Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest, it was dispatched on Friday :)
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Jonny does the 3.33.401.153 RUU mean that those of us who still are on the 3.33.401.6/106 base will have to do a full wipe?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No, you will be fine with not wiping :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
So, Jonny, anything new?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Havent got home from school yet :p
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Will it b tonight?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No, phone didnt arrive and I'm working on Sense 4.1 with mikrosmile :) phone will probably arrive tomorrow...
[HTC Sensation] D F:
And tomorrow you will test it and upload it?

About 6.6.0: sometimes the backlight turns itself of, but some other time, it doesn't. I couldn't recognize any patern (I have installed a Profile software, but it seems it can't handle the task either..

When connecting my phone to PC, it automatically connects on "Charger only mode", and there is no option down page about choosing the default connection type. In PC Connection Menu I have ticked Notify on.

And, yeah. The on/off button seems to react a lot slower that in 6.5.0. I mean I have to press it longer than before for the options menu to appear.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No, I cant give ETA because we honestly dont know how long it will take
[HTC Sensation] djboris:
Hi DarkForest Devs,

Did you solved the stuck boot issue as you wrote some weeks ago? (at Beats Audio screen)

I just tried some days ago, but decided to use the 6.6.0 because of the booting.

Basically 6.6.0 works fine, but I would try the 6.7.3 if works.

Othe idea,

What should be the outcome if I use the OTA updater? The result should same if install with CWM and aroma?

Or OTA is used just to download the install zip?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It will currently give an MD5 error because OTA Update Center does not support goo.im links for some reason. Also I would advise sticking with 6.6.0 until a new version comes out because versions 6.7.0-6.7.3 have boot issues for some reason...
[HTC Sensation] djboris:
Thnx,

Then I wait for your team. Or check the sense 4.x Betas.... :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
hehe, the only beta I have now is not booting because media libs cause a service to "die" as it says in the logcat so it just initiates a bootloop. Apart from that, its actually getting quite far into the boot procedure before it does that so what I'm doing now is just swapping libs from the current beta with other Sense 4 ROMs until it works :)
[HTC Sensation] djboris:
Hi Devs,

Do you plan to be the xLoud and the Beats to be switchable (on/off) from the Phone settings?

I found some video and Picts where these are switchable.

Anyway it is switchable from some system file?

If yes please share me which is that, then I can write small application for myself,

which looks like a switch and can overwrite the file with on/off.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I plan on doing this but because I dont have the tweaks.apk source code, what would take me 2 mins to do in java takes me hours to do in smali :( I have made the modification to the AudioEffectService.apk (the xloud apk) and now I need to mod the smali of the tweaks app. The bravia switch is just a build.prop line which can be changed (setprop) from within the app.
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
if i use another music player than stock one, beats is able?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
not in Sense 3.6 - beats only in HTC Music app. However other apps like poweramp/dspManager have better sound because beats is after all, just an EQ profile ;)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny is there an ETA for Drakforest?

And, about tweaks. You have said in one of the latest posts, that tweaks are finally working perfectly with 33 base, but some users complain about some problems. How can you comment on this?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No ETA as yet, The phone was technically delivered today but my mum fell asleep and didnt wake up when the doorbell rang so I've got to pick it up from the post office on my way back from school tomorrow :p

As for tweaks, they will be ported fully to the .153 base and tested by me so that they are stable when in the ROM
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I understand. I wanted to reinstall 6.6.0 with the hew version of tweaks. Now, I think I might just wait for a new Darkforest version as well, since I usually do a superwipe when installing.

Please let us know when an ETA will be available. And, thank you!
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
first, thanks for reply, then, i know is a eq, but it sounds really great, is the perfect eq.... wich eq you use?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
PowerAmp Custom EQ with a lot more bass than the beats EQ :cool:
[HTC Sensation] djboris:
I cannot hear big difference with beats.

Only if I add the xLoud. With xL the sound is really different.

Without it for me the sound is almost same...

Only the headset is different, I can hear back my microphone in the speeker.

Wiht the stock rom, I had no this feedback.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
New phone arrived - 1.18.0000 hboot = revolutionary which took less than 5 mins, now flashing 3.33.401.153 RUU then 4EXT recovery and custom ROM, then development starts :)

Only slight downside is the phone is the white XE... oh well, my sister is buying me the black back for my Bday so problem solved :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Great news Jonny! Hope an ETA will b available soon. Enjoy ur phone!
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, with 6.6.0, Cifs Manager is installed no matter if I choose not to.
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
Jonny. 6.6.0 has no apm? Anything flashable u could share...? Or is a new version up today-tomorrowish by chance?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Tweaks package.

And no, New build will not be up tomorrow, I am working from 12:00am-10:00pm which means I leave the house at 11:00am so I don't have any time in the morning and no time at night.

However soon it is half term so I should be able to get the new build up sometime during half term :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Fixed it for next version :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I removed 2 things from this version, cifs manager in apps and something also related to cifs from data. Now everything runs smooth. No problem with tweaks. Good idea allowing user to choose the browser they like.

Jonny, do u have an ETA? No matter how vague...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I've put 20th October in build.prop but I hope to have it out before then ;)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Wow, so one week to go..or less. Awesome.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, please add an option to manually serach for new software versions OTA. My phone shows me at every restart that a new software version is available (6.7.3) and that is pretty annoying.

LE:

Jonny, please add an option to manually serach for new software versions OTA. My phone shows me at every restart that a new software version is available (6.7.3) and that is pretty annoying.

Right a few moment ago I have discovered an issue that I don't remember seeing before.

When I write messages, I use the prediction function. Now, and please someone confirm, the prediction line goes above the text one types on the last line. I'll post a screenshot to make myself better understood.

As you can see, there's thext under that prediction line.
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
Still nothing. You going for 20th either Way to support what your build.prop says? ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
20th is my birthday ;)

I just thought that would give me enough time. However it does all depend on the amount of extra work I get from school, however I fixed the boot loop problem (still got absolutely no idea what caused it, I just rebased the ROM and it works :confused: ). I have also ran my scripts for apk optimization etc etc so I estimate about 2/3 is done :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Can't do that - its within the app. What I will do though is remove 6.7.3 from the OTA Update Center database when I get home :)

And the text thing is because you use HTC Keyboard with arrows, nothing I can do about that, its just because the arrows keyboard is larger :p
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Jonny do you plan on releasing the next version (when it's done) with tweaks and bulletproof launcher included or will they come as add-ons?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
They will come with the ROM and I will also update the tweaks add on for other ROMs as well :)
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
I hope you could also add tweaks for the battery...:fingers-crossed:
[HTC Sensation] cameleon39:
Sorry guys,

Hey guys, help with getting JB to our sensation
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Tweaks are done apart from updated Russian translations which I'll do tomorrow morning, then I just need to add the updated tweaks apk to the ROM and its good to go! ETA is Friday/Saturday atm because I'm working Friday night so don't know how much time I'm going to have. :)
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
it is a must to flash update...keep up the good work Jonny and your team, million thanks for your time and effort!!!
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, please allow us in this this version too, to chose the browser!...

And don't forget about "bugreports".
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
With the bug reports, I flashed many ROMs over the last 3-4 days and that folder kept coming back on all of them so I don't think its a ROM bug, more of a 'feature' HTC put into it.

I think because of the ROM size (~530mb) I will only include stock browser, the others are always available from play store and if you add a google account at the start after a super wipe then it will automatically download all previously installed apps :)
[HTC Sensation] juangutierrez29:
how long is boot time? because i leave it for 30 minutes and its still in the beats audio logo
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Please read the last few pages, this is a known bug which has been fixed in v7.0.0 and will be released tomorrow or Saturday
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, in 6.6.0 we were able to choose the browser we wanted to use. As I understand, in the following version, the default one will be installed. Is this true? I loved the posibility for me to choose, because I enjoy using Dolphin more and I don't likle to install another browsing apk.

And one more thing: the touch sensitive bottons on the bottom of the screen lock the screen when you touch them from left to right. Before 6.6.0, ore the latest tweaks, sliding from right to left used to unlock the screen. Now it takes a screenshot. How can I set it to unlock the screen (or enlight it) like before?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
were you? I honestly dont remember putting that in 6.0.0 :confused: In 7.0.0 by default the HTC Broswer is installed but you can always download another one from play store

sweep2wake? That is with bricked kernel only and you can disable the screenshot feature by changing:

ro.htc.framework.screencapture = true

to:

ro.htc.framework.screencapture = false

In build.prop

And to get the sweep2wake back again you need to flash bricked kernel or a another kernel that supports it :)
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Hmm we could change these values through the zip before flashing, right?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
for bricked you can, for faux you need to flash yank's repacked-with-aroma version of faux kernel and no for stock :)

@DF I'm looking through 6.6.0 zip file now and I cant see anything that has browser options in...
[HTC Sensation] D F:
In 6.6.0, the software version I am curently using, there is no browser installed by default. After SO installation I can choose whichever browser I like from the market.

So that screenshoot function is a kernel feature. Which kernel, if may I?

And Jonny, I know you have like a lot of work to do and that together with my bad English may cause waste of time and confusion, so please excuse my sometimes awkward interventions!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No, the screenshot function is in the build.prop, just change the value in

ro.htc.framework.screencapture = from true to false then reboot and it will be gone :)

And broswer.apk is in 6.6.0 - check attachment, What I can do is add an option to remove stock HTC broswer ion aroma so you can download another one without having 2 browsers on the phone :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Hm, that's interesting. I my phone there is no browser after fresh install. But an option to remove it, if I don't ask too much, would be great.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Added :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Dude u rock!

Is it now possible to remove CifsManager? It didn't work in 6.6.0 regardless the remove Cifs box was ticked.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
yep, I fixed that - It was because I didnt put ".apk" at the end of the app name :o
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Did you have a chance to troubleshoot the sms notification/disappearing sms issue on the tweaks/rom (whichever was responsible)?

Sent from my DarkForest powered HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] D F:
akpidis, no problem with sms notification here.

Jonny, what will 7.0 bring new?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
All I can say is that I've been testing various builds of the ROM for 3-4 days and have sent/received over 50 SMS and all of them have been received/sent successfully :)
[HTC Sensation] andromeiden:
stuck at beats audio boot screen

[HTC Sensation] richie390:
Awesome!! Does it have the Emojis in it like the 6.6.1 changelog says? :D

**EDIT**Wait its just emoji files. So no Emoji MMS?
