Your signature lists all the great advice to be followed on these forums yet you haven't bothered to search and read before posting yourself? :confused:

Anyway. There are issues with 6.7.3, most recent stable version is 6.6.0 and you'll want 3.33.401.106 firmware to run it.
[HTC Sensation] andromeiden:
>.<! im so sorry but i thought ordroid based on 3.3xxxxxx so we can flash any rom...but in ordroid based on htc ville fw 1.xxxxx...thx for reply anyway
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yes there is a solution, you should either flash 6.6.0 or wait for 7.0.0
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No, that is one thing I forgot, if I have enough time I will add that but I need to upload them today before 5pm (when I go to work) so it may have to wait for an update - maybe I release an incremental update with it...
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
In a few hours we Can expect 7.0.0 is what you're saying? *way too impatient* ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Pretty much, though the links probably wont go up on the website until later because my host needs to convert them into ad links but I can post a direct link on this thread then edit it out later...
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Omg, I'm so excited. New software version. Oh, so awesome!!!
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
It may be too much to ask, but please do so :)

Will the rom come with a supercharger/bulletproof launcher as an option?

If not, would it be wise to use this mod (since there's no specific version for DF)?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It will include several options for that :)
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
Yeah the incremental would be fine if you can :)

I fully wiped, flashed the rom, when I try to boot it, it gets stuck on beats logo.... I left it for 15 minutes like that, nothing happened...

My phone is fully working and everything, all other roms work..
[HTC Sensation] D F:
David, which software version did you install?

Please use 6.6.0. Al the later ones have a "problem".
[HTC Sensation] D_avi_D:
6.7.3
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
go back 1 page, look at the post #2469 , I think I've answered this often enough now...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
doesnt matter, managed to include it. All uploads done, I just need to check MD5 then I'll post a link :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Install 6.6.0.

I am sorry, but Jonny is right. He and other users have already explained that 6.6.0 is the lates STABLE Dark Forest software version.

Please try 6.6.0. You will be absolutely thrilled. Or you may wait for the newsest version which, as Jonny wrote, will be available for download later this day.

Lol I have just observed that my username (D F), which is my name and surname's initials, correspond with this OS name, lol.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ok new link is below and will be removed once my host converts the links on the website

Edit, link temp removed, should be up on the site in 10 mins :)
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Great news :D downloading as son as links are up :D
[HTC Sensation] derricancy:
Hey, I am new to this thread, do you guy think that this ROM is better than ARHD?
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Derricancy, I have used both. Since February when I discovered Darkforest, I felt in love with it.

It suits me perfectly. You should give it a try, and please take my word for it: you'll love it, too.
[HTC Sensation] kinghunki:
Great news ! waiting .
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
From my experience -and because of the fact that I am a heavy user- yes.

I'm using ARHD at the moment but due to many apps and running services my memory is very low. I get from 75 to 100mb free memory and sometimes slowdowns, which I never experienced with DarkForest 6.6.0.

I'm -not- trying to diss Mike, he has done a kickass job, I had been using ARHD for more than eight months before moving to DarkForest. As a personal preference though, I find DF to be slightly better than ARHD.

You can always try them both and judge for yourself :)
[HTC Sensation] derricancy:
Ok, I will give it a try soon to see if it fits my Sensation too... Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Temporary link below, I will remove it once I get a tweet saying that the links are up, enjoy :)

Edit, links are now on the website :)
[HTC Sensation] derricancy:
thanks for the link...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Links are now on the website
[HTC Sensation] rq005:
Congratz on your new ROM! I will give it a try as soon as i have some spare time!
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Flashing right now :D
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
:eek: so you're telling me that the MMS/SMS supports emojis now? :eek:

Sent from a HTC Sensation 4G full of Jellybeans by Bruce
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
you can view them but to send them you need something like emoji keyboard from play store :)
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
:( ohhh...I think there might be a modified Sense MMS somewhere that could send them. I'll give a look around.

[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Just flashed, great job :D restoring apps now.

Quick question, seems like no matter what I choose in options, XLoud mod is enabled. Flashed a second time to confirm it, selected to turn it off but it's still enabled. No big deal since I'm planning to use it, but can anyone else confirm this?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Probably a typo, I'll take a look in a minute :)
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Thnx Jonny. I'll stick with XLoud for now, I FINALLY found the sonar notification sound I was looking for and it does not distort at all with xloud :D

If anyone wants to get it its here, under "htc notify" or "samsung sonar".
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
As expected its a typo (or more to do with the fact that I can't count - there are 9 "extras" is mods.prop but I put google now as 10, xloud as 8 etc etc) I will fix this on Monday because tomorrow is my birthday then I'm working all day Sunday :)
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
Happy birthday Jonny :D, so as to DarkForest 7.0.0...
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Should be midnight there by now, so happy birthday! :highfive:
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thanks, and don't worry, the ROM works fine its just the last 3 options in aroma probably won't stick, I can upload a fixed updater-script sometime tomorrow and so you would need to add it to the ROM manually and then I'll properly update it on Monday
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
CHEERS!!! Enjoy your party as we enjoy your new update...thanks!:highfive:
[HTC Sensation] slobo2712:
why on this rom google now not talk like in eleganca roms,or i don't know to setup?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Read 3 post up from yours ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
here is the fixed updater-script if anyone's interested. it goes in META-INF/com/google/android/ folder of the rom zip. to put it there, open the rom zip in 7zip or similar and navigate to that folder then drag and drop the updater-script into the folder :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
So, what we have to do is to save the file that you provided, it will appear as "updater-script.txt" and then place this txt file in the location mentioned by you?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It shouldn't have a .txt extension, it should just be updater-script with no extension at the end but apart from that yes :)

Edit: if it dies have a .txt extension then open it in notepad++ and save as then select the file type as "All files" then in the file name make sure it doesn't have .txt at the end then save it.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Will it b ok if I only remove the txt extension?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yes :)
[HTC Sensation] nickislauw:
good rom but what's wrong with when I open an app and press the back button my sense is completely reloading/?? verry annoying.. any fix ?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yes choose die hard or bullet proof launcher in aroma.
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
Thanks Jonny, 7.0.0 works perfect! :)

And happy birthday!!
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, I selected the text, pasted it in notepad++, then saved it with the exact same name "updater-script", after that I deleted the file with the same name from the location above and I copied the one created from your script. Well,after that there appeared some problems, and the phone didn't boot. There must be someting that I do wrong.

Got back to the 7.0.0, the original version.
[HTC Sensation] Jazup:
nice!

the rom is great, it runs very very smooth for me, the only thing i notice is when i listen to music in my car through the aux cable, when using beats audio i get this crackling sound that comes through my speakers if i switch to say SRS or one of the other options the crackling goes away. i was using another rom with beats and didnt have that crackle sound. Any way i'm sticking to this rom cause its great and i like SRS Great job and thanks for the work!
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
What I did was download the script file, unchecked hide extension for known file types on my computer, and delete the .txt of the updater-script.txt.

After that I just drag and drop the file inside the zip file and flash the update, works perfectly, I just missed the sweep2wake though :(...
[HTC Sensation] fireplayer:
Belated Happy Birthday Jonny! - 17 now? Getting closer to legal beers and expensive train tickets ;) and thx a lot for 7.0.0 - works a treat!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
What kernel do you want sweep2wake on, I found some scripts of showp1984's that enable/disable sweep2wake on a kernel that supports it and SFAIK bricked and faux support it :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thanks and yep - 17 and in the UK I already pay adult train fare unfortunately (from age 16), in my school's 6th form we have to wear suits and it doesn't really work trying to get a child's ticket :p
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
Oh I forgot to mention that I used the stock kernel, cause I think it might improve battery life. Is it possible to enable sweep2wake on the stock kernel? :fingers-crossed:

regards...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No sorry, the kernel must support sweep2wake and stock doesn't :(
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Chleoj, I am using bricked kernel and it is just perfect. You should try it.

I mean battery life is just like on stock kernel. I haven't noticed any difference. And if u don't want to OC the CPU, u can always choose the 1,2 gigs setting.

Um, I noticed that all sounds reset after restart. Can any1 confirm this?
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
Thanks, I'll give it a try, although I used it on 6.6.0 :), and for the sound reset after restart, this is not happening on my device, try to restart immediately when I read your post, but all my sound settings are still there.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Hm, there must be something happening with my OS. So, u just replaced the file in the archive with the one provided by Jonny and everything worked...well, Ill keep on trying.
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
I want a little confirmation about xLoud, etc, has it ever made any difference for anyone? in terms of loudness etc? it never made difference for me, my sound is still ridiculously low as it was without xLoud etc, only darkmantra's Asian ROM had an very much effective xLoud..I am on darkforest, it's speaker-out sound is still tiny :(
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Alipk52, I don't use it in 7.0.0. but in a previous version of this ROM it was implemented as default and yes, the sound was stronger. 6.5.0. might have been.
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
I just find out that xLoud component audioeffectservice is not running, despite I choose to install it in aroma, but audioeffect app is in application list, but it's not running..
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Guys, I have a problem. After every restart, the phone's ringtones reset. I have reinstalled both 7.0.0 without the new script and the one modified. The problem remains. I am still testing stuff, like the bullet proof setting....

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

Alipk52, please use the script and instructions offered by Jonny 3 pages before.

LE: Nothing helped. Got back to 6.6.0 and everything works just fine, so it must be something ROM related...but what?!
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
I have a similar issue but I noticed it with a different way. After a restart I lose all my photos in htc gallery and mp3s in htc music. First time I start HTC gallery the albums load up, looking like they're there, but almost instantly I get a "no photos or videos found" message (or something similar).

When this happened for the first time last night, I just ran Rescan Media (from play store) and in two minutes later my files were back.

HUGE difference here, Imagine I can now hear my lock/unlock sound from the next room. Some specific notification sounds and ringtones are distorted (like "Color") but the ones I'm using are fine.
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
Can you share your installation procedure? I am really fed-up with speaker-out tiny sound...hardly been able to hear incoming calls ringtone..
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
I just selected to install XLoud in aroma during 7.0.0 installation :)
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
that's what I did, but audio effect service app is not running..I assume that's the difference between us :D which effectively means xLoud is not functional with me..not a big ROM related issue though..but I needed it :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Just checked on a fresh install of 7.0.0 with superwipe, I don't have this - I just selected a new ringtone in personalize "whistle" - and rebooted and the setting was still on whistle after the reboot...
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
Yeah I did super-wipe too, upon installing the new update. First, backup all of my fav apps with TB, & contacts, lucky don't have those issues and my device is running very well. :victory:
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, please tell me which steps you followed, one by one. I performed superwipe like 20 times but the problem remains. I d like to know which option you choose during installation, maybe it would help.

Have you replaced the script in the OS version you tested? Or was it the "origina" one?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Mine is currently the original one, haven't had any time on pc yet to replace it.

I superwiped, chose, sensation XE, bricked kernel, blue holo, sense % battery, sensation camera, sense 3.6 keyboard, xloud, (then the rest in mods.prop don't matter because of the script) then supercharger and die hard launcher.
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
Got same settings here, except for the kernel and keyboard, I choose stock kernel and 4.0 kboard.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I chose bricked kernel and 4.0 keyboard, so the only difference was the keyboard. Could this be the problem?!

It doesn't work, no matter what I do. Thank God I kept a 6.6.0 backup copy.

Chleoj, everything fine with sounds? No reset after restart?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No I don't think keyboard or kernel could cause it
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
Yeah, kernel and keyboard should not cause the problem you're in, and for the sounds, my settings are intact even I do reset.
[HTC Sensation] slipknotfn:
I tested most of Saturday and didn't have any huge issues. However my issue is that I now appear to be keeping the stock Darkforest wallpaper no matter which ROM I switch to. I tested another ROM that was released late Sunday and noticed the same rainbow wallpaper. I didn't care much for it so I switched to another that had an update recently and lo and behold, same wallpaper appears to override the default one right after initial boot. No matter if I Superwipe, 4ext format etc. I tried both Sense and AOSP and AOKP based ROm's. Interesting and troubling too. Just a note. Not a complaint. Perhaps I misunderstood something in the install that caused the saving across multiple wipes and installs. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Slipknotfn, I had a similar problem because I didn't perform superwipe. Not all ROMs are compatible with each other. So, yeah, always install with superwipe. In order to do that, you may use Recovery, or this.
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
That wallpaper is default so it will appear on first boot everytime you flash the rom , except if the rom has a custom theme then the wallpaper may

appear different depends on the design of the rom chef , and since DF roms is base from the stock, that is the reason why you see that wallpaper.

But you can change that, just press and hold anywhere on the home screen, and you can personalise your wallpaper, themes and even your

sounds. Or simply goto settings > personalize :)
[HTC Sensation] slipknotfn:
Thanks, I figured it out. Was just strange that all of a sudden there were several other ROMS running the same wallpaper. I had been meaning to test a few and had them dl'd on my sd. I had time last night and was like wow, this is a popular background. Now its gone and all is well. Back to testing out things and trying to find contentment, if that ever can happen with all these awesome ROMs on here.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Hm...then, what could it be?!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Lol that's probably the funniest bug I've come across :) And yeah I think its because its the stock sense wallpaper - color.jpg
[HTC Sensation] D F:
So... I have replaced the script, formatted the phone again, deleted it's memory, superwiped, installed with

HTC Sensation

Battery%

Google Blue

4.0 Keyboard

No Google Now

No Jelly Bean

(I hope these are all the settings in the first screen) and then:

Removed all apk-s allowed in the tick box menu

The last option in services,jar

I feel like my head is going to explode. Apart from the last part (services.jar), I have chosen the same options like in 6.6.0, but ringtones still reset after every restart. 6.6.0 works perfectly.

Where am I doing wrong?!
[HTC Sensation] MarcLister:
Hey Jonny,

Just wanted to say that I flashed to 7.0.0 last night and it works 100% fine. I love the smooth scroll in the apps list.

KUTGW! :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Is it the ringtones in the personilize menu or custom ones for different people. Just wondering because I only tried setting a general ringtone from personalize menu.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
It is the ringtones inpersonalize menu. I have installed 3 different ROMS by now and 2 previous versions of yours. All worked perfectly. 7.0.0 still doesn't.
[HTC Sensation] goatee84:
Maybe having your own phone again helps but 7.0.0 is probably the best I've seen DarkForest run on my phone. Really good work.

9T805482B94898801 ;)

Just a question, what are the few aroma mods that wouldn't have stuck with that updater script issue? Can't remember exactly what I chose so I'm not sure whether I got what I asked for or not :D
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thanks - much appreciated :)

Yeah having a phone definitely makes things a lot easier :)

The mods were jelly bean anims, xloud and google now - they have now been fixed and I've just got to fix the sound enhancer showing R&B instead of R&B before I release an update :)
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
Hello I have uploaded a short video clip to show and confirm that my sound settings didn't reset after rebooting my device using the latest DarkForest Rom 7.0.0... No added info here, just confirming that it works fine on my device...

regards... :)

LINK HERE
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Thank you Chleoj! I'll watch the vid when I get home. I have reinstalled, superwiped 10 times, but the problem remains. 6.6.0 works great though.

Jonny, how can I remove the default browser in 6.6.0, just like in 7.0.0?

Also, what was the solution for cifs to be removed by ticking the box in the installation process?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
The solution was that I just put .apk at the end of the app name which I forgot to do in previous versions so it should work on 7.0.0 and above. To remove HTC browser just tick the HTC browser box in aroma :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, I am talking about 6.6.0. There's no "remove browser" option in it.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Oh right sorry, I'd only just woken up :p

Ok use a file explorer with root permissions (es file explorer needs this option enabling in settings) then navigate to system/app/ and delete Browser.apk :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
So, deleting Browser from there will no longer install the default browser. How can I fix the problem with cifs? I mean, I don't want it installed. I am still talking about 6.6.0.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Go to /data/app and look for ws.cifsmanager.apk and delete it :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, I may do something wrong, but I detleted the browser.apk and the ws.cifsmanager.apk, but both apps still appear. I have deleted, together with ws.cifsmanager.apk, from "DarkForest Sensation XE ICS 6.6.0\system\lib\modules", the apk called "cifs.ko". After that Cifs no longer got installed. I deleted browser (DarkForest Sensation XE ICS 6.6.0\system\app), but it appeared no matter what.

Bottom line: is it ok if together with ws.cifsmanager.apk I also delete cifs.ko from the locations mentioned above?

And how can I delete the default browser....?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Is the file system mouthed as r/w or r/o -it needs to be as r/w (read/write) then it should work
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I see..and, how do I make it r/w? Talking about browser here? About the other 2, is it ok to delete them both?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Cifs.ko is a kernel object but is perfectly fine to be deleted as long as you don't use and programs that use it (like cifmanager) cifs manager can probably be uninstalled via the settings > apps menu

To get the filesystem r/w I think in es file explorer it is in the app settings/preferences and in root explorer there is a button near the top of the screen that says "Mount r/w"
[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
@DF

have you tried root uninstaller to remove system apps, you can find and download the file HERE, it might help...

regards...
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Thanks guys, but I want to remove those apps, in the ROM, before installing it.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
open up the zip and just go to /syste/app and delete Browser.apk then go to /data/app and delete the cifsmanager.apk :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, but I have already done that. Only deleting cifsmanager.apk and Browser, desn't help. I was able to only remove Cifs, after deleting cifs.ko but browser remained even though I deleted Browser..

Thank you 1000 times for being so helpful!

So, removing Browser.apk didn't help. Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] retsek84:
Hi,

Anyone flashed this ROM and is it stable?
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Hi retsek84! I have benn using DarkForest since March. This ROM, really makes the difference. It is smooth, fast, stable. I lovet.
[HTC Sensation] BurnRubber90:
Jonny.. I need some help. I was running 7.0 (which is pretty smooth) fine for like a day or so, until my phone rebooted randomly after opening the camera app. When it booted, all my apps were broke, either fc's or error messages. I guess it corrupted my data partition. Do you know why that happened? I don't want to stop using this ROM :/. Tell me if you need anything (logcat, etc).
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I don't know why it did that but I doubt its a ROM issue, mainly because if it was ROM related it probably would have done that on the first boot, not after a random reboot ;)

If its a data partition problem which at this point seems likely then you need to wipe data or reflash the ROM choosing super wipe.

I'm afraid the only log that would tell the cause of the reboot is the last_kmsg log but that will have been overwritten if you have shut down/rebooted the phone since the random reboot... I think the best bet is to wipe data and start again, if it happens a second time please let me know :)
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
I have this sometimes, however I'm not using the ROM. I think it's an issue with the Sensation itself.

The solution I've found is make a Nandroid backup, wipe the /data partition and restore the apps + data through Titanium Backup (I've got the pro version, I think you can't do that in the free one.).
