Ignore the error, it is a random one that v1.10 of Aroma Installer gives.

Try flashing 5.2.0 then let phone boot up then flash 5.3.0
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Hmm, try super wipe, flash 5.2.0 then let phone boot and then try flashing 5.3.0 without wipe
[HTC Sensation] MrIT:
Hi all .

Im new use !!!

my device is htc Sensation z710e.

Im have a Question :

1: I can use this 5.3.0 Rom?

2:How to flash 5.0.3 ? flash 5.2.0 befor flash 5.3.0 ?

thanks for advance
[HTC Sensation] darkmantra:
If you're already rooted flash 3.24 Firmware first from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 take note of your CID. Read and follow the instructions carefully.

After you successfully flash the FW then you can flash this 5.3.0 ROM.
[HTC Sensation] PCLiteratesJax:
Thank You !!

The master himself !! I am honored !! Thank you so much for all your hard work, the ROM looks AMAZING and I can't wait to flash it later on today. I will do what you suggested :::crossing fingers here::: THANK YOU !!! :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It's a bug in all ICS 4.0.1 based ROM's and is fixed in the new base, stay tuned for an update on Monday or Tuesday, I want to see what mistakes the other devs make and what bugs come up before I build mine to get it as stable as possible
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Hey Jonny, just a couple of observations I wanted to share with you after using both old and new ics.

Rosie scrolling isn't as smooth as any GB rom. Carousel effect harder to achieve. Web page browsing: the fonts are quite small and it takes a while before words come into focus. Weather animations in weather widget resizes themselves. Don't think this is intentional.:p

There's speculation that HTC will release the official ics version very soon, so you'd better hurry up if you decide to release another version.

I'm back on ARHD 4.1.11 for now. I've got your beats xe mod in place with bricked kernel 1.6 beta 7 overclocked at 1.5. I reflashed Mike's earlier PG58IMG zip (the one from rmk40 dimmed the screen light on 4.1.11 for some reason).

I don't think I've had a better experience with my sensation than with this combination. Not a single reboot and carousel spinning at the slightest swipe.:D
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
The timeline my source gave me was an official update from HTC roughly in early to mid February. (Though that may have changed in view of the new leak)

I have also noticed the Rosie carousel and I might try editing the smalli to see if I can get it to go any faster
[HTC Sensation] oakland73rd:
i know this maybe a noob ass question to ask but ive been seen other roms saying that you must first flash the firmware before the rom but you dont mention it i havent done it and this rom runs perfect except for the wallpaper thing but thats nothing so should i install the new firmware ?and would it change anything?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
The firmware flash is for ROM's based on the newer 3.12.401.102 base and it does have to be done.

On this ROM with the current version 2.1.0 it is based on the older 3.06.401.101 base so the firmware flash is recommended but not compulsory.

When I release the new version then the firmware flash will be compulsory
[HTC Sensation] oakland73rd:
THANKS BRO Your Very Helpful one last thing do I have to have SuperCID in order to flash the firmware ??
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Just super cid and flash firmware bundle. It's painless. There are a lot of suggested alternatives now but it's a lot more headache reading through all that.:)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Version 3.0.0 is up, thank you guys for your patience :)
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
Looks excellent, I'd love to try it but I'm tired of flashing all these updates from many different ROMs :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
This update is worth it, trust me ;)
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
"I may not particularly like you..." Naughty.:p

We'll have to see. Hope you've done something about the rosie. :D

Firmware?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
What's wrong with the Rosie? Also that is because of a disagreement in views between mike and me
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
I thought you thought it was a bit slow as well.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Oh you don't like me but you use all my tweaks. Where's your honor then? Also you forgot to mention:

I mean it's fine, you can use whatever you want, I don't care. But saying "I don't like you but I love to use your work" is strange, at least for me.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
If you really insist on carrying this on,

I'm not even too sure I included the init.d scripts from your ROM but i left it in the log anyway just in case because I defiantly know they where in the previous version.

The reason why I'm not sure is that I am very busy with my job as a lighting designer/programmer and also my GCSE exams so I forgot some of what I did.

That is also why I didn't mention the other things, simple I forgot and if you bothered to get off your high horse and read a couple of pages back then you would have seen I said that if I forgot, PM me and I will add it.

And about "your" tweaks. Did you originally make them, I think not because they are exactly the same as every other set of tweaks I have seen, If I did use yours then I used them because I didn't want to waste whatever time I had downloading another ROM when I had already downloaded yours for the interactive updater-script.

If you really want to carry this on then do it in PM, Twitter or facebook not by flaming my thread. If you do flame my thread then I won't respond but report you to the moderator.
[HTC Sensation] mrew42:
LOL. Report away and see what happens. :p
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I know nothing will happen and that is part of my point because he reported baadnwz and nothing happens.

Now stop your stupid and frankly immature actions and stop flaming my thread, clear off.

Moderators can you clean this thread please

P.s mike if you want I will update OP but not now because I'm very busy. Give me 2-3 days, I have a ton of coursework to do so will only be online from my phone
[HTC Sensation] -fluffy-:
why dont u all stop an take this in pm
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
OK, i have managed to clear some free time tonight by finishing 2 shows' lighting cues early so i will update the ROM, add init.d scripts (they were not even in the ROM in the first place :o ) add a hopefully working stock % battery and speed up the downanimation again because even at 24 FPS it still stutters
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Running the rom now. Flashed ics battery mod and 1.5 kernel. Good on the whole. Will stay put for now. Thanks, Jonny.:D
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
The service is as good as the rom here.:p:)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Found the error in my code, if normal sensation and you choose 1.2 GHz kernel, nothing will flash!! Try flashing it but choose 1.5 GHz kernel and it should work :)
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Sense reloading

Hey Jonny, just a quick question. Why does sense reload after closing browser? It happens on other ics roms as well. Tried changing kernels but it doesn't seem to help. I read in Hawke's thread something about downgrading rosie?

Edit: never mind. Trying ram manager to see if it will stop sense restarts.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Browser uses high RAM so system closes HTC sense to free more RAM then it reloads Sense on browser close
[HTC Sensation] darkmantra:
This happens to me in 5.3.0 but i just reflash the kernel with Sebastians :D
[HTC Sensation] zxr24rs:
Soon the 100 th page!

overclocked kernel by SebastianFM @1.6ghz works perfectly with DF 5.3.0.

Can i flash the latest firmware ??? or perhaps it's more serious to wait the next update ?

thks
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
5.3.0 works fine on latest firmware so just do it.

I'm Rick James *****!!!
[HTC Sensation] Rico84:
When you update to the latest firmware does it change the version number in settings> about phone? Or does it update without changing the numbers?
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
Mine has updated without changing build number, but I think this is the case with a lot of people, especially those using the 3.25 test build

As long as the radio updates, then you have 3.30

I'm Rick James *****!!!
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Is Rick still around? Used to listen to some of his stuff...in an earlier life I think.:p
[HTC Sensation] Rico84:
What should the radio version be?
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
Read the firmware update threads and all shall be revealed!

I'm Rick James *****!!!
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
Rick is still going strong and still a god!

I'm Rick James *****!!!
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Well, they said that about Eric Clapton as well. To thread mod, this comes under beats discussion.
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
Last I heard big Rick was touring with Bootsy Collins. I find funk is the best way to check levels on all sound settings ;)

I'm Rick James *****!!!
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
True. Give me a minute to load all my funky seventies hits on the sd card and we'll compare notes one of these days.;)
[HTC Sensation] KeiranFTW:
Making another app for this, it will show you the current ROM version and also maybe I can enable true OTA Updating, as in, it notifies you if an update is available when you search for update.

Just thought I would say well done to Jonny and all from the Darkforest Group are proud of him & his work for us as well as his true dedication :)

[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thanks :)

Do I have to add anything into build.prop for the OTA update thing? I ask because I'm probably going to upload the update tomorrow (just have to fix one syntax error and the fact that my updater-script won't flash a boot.img if sensation and stock kernel are selected) ;)
[HTC Sensation] KeiranFTW:
Put ro.darkforest.developerid=Jonny

ro.darkforest.romversion=550 (put the version without the .'s :))

ro.darkforest.romid=ROM Name goes here :)

Will start merging functionality :)

[HTC Sensation] KeiranFTW:
Wait, I said before:

ro.darkforest.romversion=550 (put the version without the .'s )

instead, just put the dot in:

ro.darkforest.romversion=5.5.0

makes it easier for me :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ok done :)
[HTC Sensation] qstorm78:
Cool.. thanks..
[HTC Sensation] KeiranFTW:
Look what I just made:

Works on my Xperia PLAY, just needs adapting slightly for ICS and guess what?

OTA Update is working :D

Also, app has built in list of previous Rom version download(via Jonny's FTP) and Jonny can add and remove roms at will like he already can.

However download link for update will be static - as in, there is only one link for the update, which will remain the same for every update - ie. Rom will be uploaded as update.zip on server for newest version untill I get something sorted.

App displays current Android version, model number, Rom name, Rom version and Rom maintainer :)

Try release for tomorrow :)

[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
i know you've received replies on this, but just FYI it's because you have the latest 4EXT and not the beta

happened to me too, installed the beta (i think it's beta 8) and the install finished correctly

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

does anyone know if the Chrome app update via the market breaks the program on this ROM?
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
Nice work!
[HTC Sensation] Gelunox:
vibration

is it normal that the phone tends to randomly make a short vibration for no apparent reason at all sometimes?

mostly happens when its in my pocket, or when im getting it out of my pocket (when taking it out, there is a slight chance i touch the powerbutton once or twice)

but it sometimes too, outputs a short vibration when just lying in front of me, on my desk.

[HTC Sensation] shoo:
hmm installed latest release with default options

wifi says - error and won't turn on :(
[HTC Sensation] cosmin_b78:
Just flash another kernel from Sebastian and will be okay. It happened to me and after the new kernel the wifi was okay
[HTC Sensation] Gelunox:
I most certainly have not, it REALLY vibrates.

nope, I figured it to be annoying so when installing the ROM I had it disabled.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
There is no RUU for that release, it is OTA only. And yes v6.0.0 will be based off that but I have yet to release v5.5.0 (hopefully ouploade today)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I know, its an error in my script, fixed on next release :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
ICS bug common to all ROM's currently
[HTC Sensation] Quantum_Sensation:
Hello, I just saw a thread that release ICS rom with the title Project Snatcher ICS. Is that the official release for HTC ICS? Can somehow take the system files or whatsover there put it in DarkForest rom and fixed the bugs or issues that user having? Sorry, if it can't. I just don't know how android works...:D
[HTC Sensation] MMoodyB:
Excellent news. Many thanks for the time & effort put into this.

Just switched from Bulletproof to DarkForest and it's been rock solid so far.

Running 5.2.0 as 5.3.0 wouldn't load Sense after the inital config setup - just stuck on the HTC screen, so I'll wait until 5.5.0 arrives rather than flashing 5.3.0 over 5.2.0.

( the 5.3.0 flash was after a full superwipe & selecting the 1.5ghz kernel as suggested by yourself a few pages back )
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
Snatcher is using the 3.25 base, that's 2 bases behind now! Next DF release is on the 3.30 base! 3.32 is official release, but only has an OTA update so far, no RUU as of yet!

I'm Rick James *****!!!
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
If you're on 5.2.0, try just wiping dalvik and cache when you flash, 5.3.0 might sort your problem rather than doing superwipe

I'm Rick James *****!!!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Choose paginated Rosie on setup, the no page one causes this ;)
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
Again, am I the only person who's had no problem with the non-paginated option? Maybe my phone just loves me more!

I'm Rick James *****!!!
[HTC Sensation] MMoodyB:
Ahh, ok. Thanks for the tip. I hate paginated Rosie though :)

Can I have non-paginated in 5.5.0?
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Rick might get jealous of the phone. How's the update on that final release, jonny? I tried Mike's. No beats. Can't live without beats, isn't that right, wtr? And no more deja vu in weather app too.:D
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
Rick loves jonny though! We needz da beats!

I'm Rick James *****!!!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
You have to flash it once the initial setipups done though
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Havent had time to start the work on the 3.32 yet, only just finished zipping 5.5.0 will start upload in about half an hour :)
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
My willy's tingling with anticipation!!!
[HTC Sensation] shoo:
thanks man - didn't knew that - helped..

now another problem - market won't open (wifi) - just shows connection timeout (before kernel - was okay through 3g network)
[HTC Sensation] buzzboy:
Quote of the year.
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
What can I say? I'm easily excited and brutally honest
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Uploading 5.5.0 now, FileZilla says roughly 40 mins left.

Started work on v6.0.0 - don't ask for ETA there is a lot to do in ports like APM, EQS, Beats etc :)
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
How big is the .zip fella?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
450mb ish :)
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
I'm downloading now!!!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
File Uploaded, size 452.01 mb and also available via OTA app.

Changelog is not complete I know, full change log will be available tomorrow :)

http://icxperia.com/jonny/DarkForest Sensation/v5.5.0/
[HTC Sensation] Gelunox:
I was still wondering, could you give specific links for those overscroll downloads? (preferably the white one)

it appears multiupload is not working ( i have tried several times these past weeks)
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
Is a full-wipe recommended due to the new base (if coming from 5.3)?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
User's choice, I tried with and without and it works both ways ;)

Also confirmed fixed the WiFi issues for good this time :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I lost them all when multiupload went down. I will have to remake them sometime, for now though, in the ROM there is blue and green (the ones that got the most downloads)
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
No APM? Seem to have lost mine upgrading from 5.3.

Update: I installed the ones with the EQM. The style is back to the old style, but it works.
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
Hi Jonny,

Thank you for the new rom. Downloading now.

What are the changes?
[HTC Sensation] molesaied88:
it seems like for some reason wifi calling is using up huge amounts of the cpu, ranging from 35-70%. the weird thing is that i have it disabled, and it even is that high when wifi is off. This was happening in v5.3, i then superwiped and upgraded to 5.5 and am seeing the same behavior. this is keeping the cpu maxed out at all times and is causing heatup and battery drain. any ideas? thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] RonnyT24:
Should I upgrade?

I am currently still running 5.2. I havent had any issues really other than the occasional reboot and having to close and reopen words with friends If I background it. Thats kinda annoying cause I love WWF (lul). Is there any real reason to upgrade to 5.3 or 5.5? Oh and another issue is pocket legends gets horrible fps when im full partied and we are killing ****. Cant think of that happening with any other rom. Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
nope, my phone loves me too, i have no problem with non-paginated
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
over the last few weeks i've seen people talking about new FW, so before installing DF 5.5.0 i flashed the latest FW 3.32...then i noticed DF is based on 3.30

will i have problems? should i/can i downgrade FW to 3.30?...edit: i did downgrade to 3.30, all OK

----

APM is a bit off for me upgrading from 5.3.0 to 5.5.0 with no superwipe...'power off' and 'reboot' both tell me my phone will be turned off (with no bootloader/recovery options on 'reboot'), but BOTH options actually reboot my phone
[HTC Sensation] cosmin_b78:
Hi Jonny

Tanks for the rom, smooth and fast. I flashed it over 5.3.0 with dalvik and cache deleted. No problems for now, everything is working ok. I flashed the new kernel from Sebastian v1.20 1782 Mhz, and the rom is flying. An Tu Tu benchmark

Send from my HTC Sensation with beats using XDA app
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I know, I took a short cut to get the beats audio volume boost working thanks to mudhi and I made a mistake in one of the smali files, fixed in next update though ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Change RAM management for WWF and for slow FPS, its a common bug in some games as they havent been optimized for ICS yet. :)
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
I'm on 3.32 and there's no problems at all. there's no real difference between the 2 FW packages
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
See changelog in ROM but there is more than that, much more. I'm compiling a full list now :D
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Yo. Just flashed the new rom. Um, what's happened to the rosie? I see weather app is working properly now.:)

Edit: nvm, just flashed ssrosie no page. Rosie is back to normal. Moving on to test other things. Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
What's wrong with the Rosie :confused:
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
I like it lucid.:p...fluid.
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
Jonny - any chance at a flashable zip that fixes APM? Both Reboot and Shut Down goes to reboot - ie no way to recovery - except via bootloader - and noway to shut down and get to bootloader other than pulling battery ... no fun there... ;) Great rom otherwise ;)

[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
did I forget to state the obvious? You're the best! Thanks! ;)

1 question tho - why is the choice of beats and mudhi gone? What is default as I always chose mudhi? - also is sony xloud implementable as an option? or will it trash our headsets / speakers?
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Just flashed it. Err...what does it do?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Mudhi got rid of a bug in which there was no difference between no effects and beats so i included his v4.8 as standard in the ROM as it is better than just Beats and HTC Enhancer ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
reboot menu is back :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
v6.0.0 is well on the way to being ready.

Fixed beats Audio to work with none xe, thanks to mudhi for the tutorials.

Basically recreated an XE ROM from the none XE base by editing loads of files.

Nearly got power saver working :)
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:
This made me semi!
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Don't forget the red dot . Can't live without the red dot.
[HTC Sensation] Gelunox:
Is it possible to add an option to make things like settings menu white instead of black?

I don't know if it is too much trouble, but would be nice to have it white instead of black for a change. I suppose its not an issue concerning battery life, since LCD uses as much power on black as on white.

I did some digging in the ROM and apk files myself, but sadly enough i got quickly lost.

If its too much trouble, don't do it (if i remember correctly it is implemented on sense 4.0, so I can always wait on that)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
What red dot? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
The background colour is in one of the xml files in either systemui or settings.apk not sure which. At the moment I don't have the time to do it but I might look into it later, hope you understand :)
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
The beats logo. :p
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
Hi Jonny,

Thanks for the new rom. Will 6.0.0 include sense 4.0?

Also would you know how to change the htc white during force close or loading(not splash screen) to black?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Oh right yes, already done, managed to get it done before mudhi this time :P (he is making me lazy, everytime I do a beats mod I check his thread then see he has already done it so for convenience I use his ;) not this time though :) )
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Won't include sense 4.0, considering the hospitality around virtuous team and TripNRaVeR right now, the worst thing I could do is release a sense 4 ROM

the white image is located in either Rosie.apk (at least it was in Sense 3.5) but they may have moved it to com.htc-resources.apk I will look later :)
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
You're the man. Watch out for Rick, though.:p
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
Thanks! i was planning to change it to black to match the splash, bootanimation and downanimation but im not sure how to do it..

Thanks again!
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
Hey johnny. Do you reckon you'll have the update finished today/tomorrow? Would love to flash a new ROM! :)
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
What exactly do you mean by that "hospitality" part? Are virtuous the only ones allowed to use sense 4 or what? - I really miss the non-carousel sense. Want to install multiwallpaper...
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
Hi Jonny,

I was playing with the aroma installer earlier, whenever i tried to install stock battery it always only gives me %..
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Don't choose overscroll mod
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Trip and virtuous keep having a go at each other for alledged kanging
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Damn, just noticed there is a .5 version of the 3.32.401 OTA, oh well. Now to port everything to that base :D
[HTC Sensation] WayTooRowdy:

[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Now I'm confused, is there a newer firmware now?? I just updated to the 3.32 firmware posted in mike's thread, so is this .3 to .5 change just the rom base or the firmware??
