[HTC Sensation] teh_master:
thou this is my first post in your thread, but you've got my respect for your works, dedication and contributions for us. hats off.

refer to your experience with the rosie mod, is that the ultrasmooth rosie by shnizlon? just to confirm that i got your tip correctly. ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thanks and no, its the Rosie.apk file from the 3.12.401 base and it solves the FC issues.

I love the 3D too much to go to super/ultrasmooth ;)
[HTC Sensation] teh_master:
ahh, thanks for your quick response mate! now that i am clear. :D
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
I'm running the new ROM without the rosie mod and with 1.5 Ghz kernel on my Sensation (non XE) since yesterday . Zero FC's, stable and fast. No bugs so far! :D

Great job (again)!!!
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
First thing ill do, when I get home from work today is flash this little beauty.

Everything running smoothly, as usual, with this?

Looking forward to getting this up and running later. :D

Edited: Google was my friend! :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Everything is running smooth for me and no annoying WiFi issues reported yet :)
[HTC Sensation] muhanad22:
is it able to use on HTC Sensation XL ?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No, unless Sensation XL ROM's support resolutions of 560x940 QHD but I thought XL was 480x800?
[HTC Sensation] KeiranFTW:
Only 480x800 on a 4.7 inch screen.lol I said seven before, just had to edit.

Ouch.

Anyway, you probably will not be able to because of CPU architecture for example.

[HTC Sensation] suhaimidee:
Hi Jonny, from your changelog v5, it said •Removed all HTC Bloatware/junk apps. Is HTC premium navigation is part of that? if so do you have it for me to flash or push to? currently dl your version of the rom. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I included it in the ROM, by bloatware I meant the stuff like google feedback, tell HTC, OTA updates etc the apps that no-one on xda uses. Some people use the HTC apps like navigation, watch etc so I left them in :)
[HTC Sensation] manu_up:
Thing of Beauty

After a series of roms and flashing, I have finally stuck to his rom. Its perfect. The audio quality is amazing. My Sensation XE sounds even better with this rom. Have still not been able to find a single bug with it. Added a 1.7 gig Kernel to this and performance is on a whole new level.

Thank you Darkforest Team. Keep up the great work.
[HTC Sensation] suhaimidee:
That cleared me up, thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Update will come maybe tonight, defiantly by tomorrow with Advanced Power Menu mod (if capychimp grants me permission) and a slightly louder and clears beats configuration, just need to get the framework-res.apk to decompile again so I can add stock % battery (current framework-res breaks APM) :)
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
Looking forward to it mate. Just flash over as normal, after wiping caches?

Also - any banners for signatures? Just wanted to show my support for this ROM on the forums. :D

Edit: Are there any "Wake by Volume Press" mods for this ROM?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It will be a full ROM due to lots of fairly minor changes but if coming from v5.0.0 wiping cache and dalvik will be fine :)

I'm not much good on Photoshop so atm no banners, I might get round to it soon though ;)

And I will include a wake volume key option in next update.
[HTC Sensation] Cadeo:
dice.apk

Any chance of getting the dice.Apk n the next update my son loves it.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Something in one of the files stops dice.apk working with the Sensation XE base. The older ROM's still on the FTP have dice app though and i will take a look through the smali to see if there is anything i can do to get it working on the xe base
[HTC Sensation] manu_up:
Cool, I have always wanted the advanced power menu feature but found it in none of the roms. So hope your update carries that. And thanks in advance Jonny..
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
Update on its way? I'm getting antsy. Lol.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I need to add two files then build it then I will upload it, more or less just got back from work though (preparing for a concert in 2 days) so I need to have something to eat first :D
[HTC Sensation] Astug:
Guess I'll wait till tonight then to try your ROM. Looks very promising!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
v5.1.0 Released

v5.1.0 Released
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
Looks great. Will test tomorrow!

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] KennyDumah:
Hey Jonny ;D

I've a question about YOUR Beats.

You've said in changelog "more bass using Libbeats or something from Rezound"

So The Rezound have a "better" Beats then the other phones?

:confused:

Seems weird to me.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Rezound has a better bass and loudness from my own ears - everyones ears are different :)
[HTC Sensation] KennyDumah:
I'm musician and noticed a difference in the Frequencies too

Hm

But I would even add a tick more bass :D

Btw i love your Roms because your main target seems to be Beats.

I like this :)

sorry for bad english :D
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Glad you like it, I'm a musician as well and for me sound quality and clarity is a priority because I don't like it when I it sounds "muddy" and you can't even pick out the finer details in the music :)
[HTC Sensation] KennyDumah:
Exactly.

I couldn't agree with you more.

:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] danilo081:
can u share man how to fix downanimation to 30 fps ? On different rom. TNX
[HTC Sensation] Cadeo:
advanced power menu

What apk do I need to keep to keep the original power menu?
[HTC Sensation] KennyDumah:
Oh man dude....

Please

PLEASE

USE SEARCH FUNCTION :D

This question was asked already in another thread...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It's not hard, not too sure how other devs missed it tbh because they already change the bootanimation string to /data/local/ in the xml file. Unless they use dsixda kitchen which for most things, I don't.

Anyway, goto /system/customize/CID/default.xml

And search that xml file, its not too hard to spot for FPS ;)

Please note, you need to super-wipe and flash ROM again after applying this because the FPS value is set on first boot then saved somewhere in data
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
android_policy.jar

Get the unmodded one and push to /system/framework/
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
I'm running this 5.1.0 since this morning. It's nice, fast and stable - as usual!

Advanced power menu looks great too.

Only thing that didn't work for me is Wake-Up-by-Vol?!

Flashed another zip from xda-site and then it works...

Maybe you should take a look at this Jonny?
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
hey...i'm back on this ROM for the APM :)

i did encounter one (standard) reboot that froze the phone and i had to pull the battery...then it worked normally for a couple of more restarts

but now i can't use the power menu at all...pressing the power button just reboots, but it just does a half-assed reboot not a full one (i don't have fastboot enabled)

the Quick Boot app works
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
wake by volume press didn't work for me either. :(
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
You can flash the zip in the third post in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20784540

This one works on the 5.1.0 ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ok will do hopefully tonight
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Anyone else having APM problems, works fine for me so if anyone does have problems could they post an adb logcat txt file please? :)
[HTC Sensation] G1-evolve:
Switched over from InsertCoin to this rom, and I must say I see a MAJOR improvement! Everything is so fast and the battery has been good to be so far! Keep up the good work! :D
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Did you flash volumeWakeUp by any chance? On the setup, I chose no to everything (Tmous, orange, wakeup key mod, All Sound Effects, HTC Sensation (I have XE) and I chose to keep google blue holo)

From that list the only things I can think of that might affect APM are the SenseHolo (users in the thread I got it from reported it working) and the wake up volume key mod
[HTC Sensation] KennyDumah:
Jonny could you share the libbeatsbass.so file from Rezound ICS Leak?

Don't want to download a whole Rezound Rom for it.

I'd like to add it in my own private Custom Rom (:

thanks
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Download Beats Audio ICS mod in my Sig then extract libbeatsbass.so from /system/lib/soundfx

Note: for this ROM, my Beats Audio ICS mod will not work with it (or others on the 3.25.401.101 base) so use mudhi's for now until I have sorted out the codes for the new base
[HTC Sensation] Panchulo77:
Some one knows if tethering works in this Rom.....

I'm on 3.21 and I like it so much that is very difficult to change
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
ok thanks...I will reflash with all options set as no...today my battery is at 38% after 5 hours unplugged and having been used for only 10 mins this morning, so there is definitely something wrong

edit: i think i found the battery problem...fcking SWYPE! it has downloaded near 100MB over 3G because i chose to install English (AU)

i have now reflashed without volume wake and my APM works
[HTC Sensation] zhenyu86:
tether does work on 5.1.0, been using it for almost 24 hrs
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Seems like wake by volume key patch is messing with APM, will do one myself over the weekend hopefully :)

And although swipe didn't help with battery life I found on all custom ROM's that the first cycle is usually very short then the battery life seems to stabilize out and last for ages, will post some screens of my battery life later :)
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
no worries, i'm good to stick it out...i had already decided that your rom was the one for me, but i wanted to try a fully themed one...turns out it was "too" themed for my liking

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

oh! i think i found something...i have a number of specific ringtones and notifications i use and have found i need to copy them all to the /system/media/audio in order to use them

to do this, i use ES File Explorer to mount the system directory, then copy the tones over

it's only after i do this that your APM stops working...and there's no fixing it other than to reflash the rom

i don't know if that helps??

edit again:: APM also stops working after flashing a battery mod
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
Don't know if this is related, but I set some specific (music)files as ringtone for some contacts and seems APM just vanished after one of my reboots??
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
All battery mods need redoing because the APM mods framework-res.apk and some battery mods won't have the new images needed.

To create your own battery mod that won't break APM, upload the framework-res.apk in this ROM to UOT kitchen and select a battery mod :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Investigating that now :)

My Battery Life (Medium usage)
[HTC Sensation] G1-evolve:
Got 15 hours of battery life with heavy usage this is probably the best rom imo good job!
[HTC Sensation] knickscity:
Op, just wonder.....

Running 3.25 ruu, will this rom have issues if I wanted to try it?
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
Just Nandroid, superwipe and install like any other ROM and it'll be fine.
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
It says fixed tiny mms (small mms), but I still have that bug. I searched the thread and don't get any hits. I'm using TMO, rom 5.1, included firmware and sebation kernel.

Anyone else with the issue? Fix?
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
Tethering over wifi hotspot worked for me on 5.1. I haven't tried with a USB cable. It also worked on 5.0. I think it's the new base that was used. Very happy about that. I went back to GB until it was fixed.
[HTC Sensation] Alex530:
Wow. This rom is by far the smoothest ics from I've tried. Amazing.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
As long as you upgrade your firmware as mentioned in OP, you shouldn't have any issues :)
[HTC Sensation] sergios0:
dark forest

help anybody

after instaling darkforest my sensation keeps restarting.does anybody know what to do?
[HTC Sensation] -fluffy-:
u need toinstall firmware 3.24.101.1

from the op before instaling this rom
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
Also, don't forget to install the Touchrecovery software. Clockwork Mod won't let you answer the questions in the script. Both can be found in the OP's FTP files.
[HTC Sensation] ndavidetnt:
I need some help here.

Rom flashed after full wipe (I was on latest InsertCoin, firmware already upgraded).

Everything runs smooth. But horrible battery drain. No matter if OC/non OC kernel.

The phone goes down 3% battery in 7 hours on aeroplane mode BUT 70% in 4 hours of normal mode (no real difference if on auto 3g or only gsm mode). Moreover, the phone gets extremely hot if put in pocket. Even without using it at all!

Same problem on InsertCoin. Please give me some suggestions: the phone is nearly useless with 5 hours of battery life!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
For battery life, it stabilizes out after a few cycles. And your figures suggest you are using the wrong radio for you, try flashing a different one. I posted my screenshot of battery life a few posts ago so your figures are really strange :P

For the heat problem, its not normal, I don't have it so maybe its a hardware defect or maybe you have messed with the kernel governors in system tuner pro. Try limiting the max frequency when display is turned off. Also turn off enabling both cores.
[HTC Sensation] Cadeo:
I have the exact same problem still.
[HTC Sensation] Erkin Ay:
Thanks, Im waiting !

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

Have a question.

Ive get always com.android.phone error. How can I fix it?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
do you mean on every ROM you have tried you have this error?
[HTC Sensation] croakthedj:
screen shots?

Does anyone have any screen shots. cartoon drawings. powerpoints or even some scribbles of this I can see before loading.

Is the version loaded all up now?

:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Erkin Ay:
On every ICS Rom with Sense3.5
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I have removed the download link for 2.0.0 because of the boot issues, screenshots will hopefully be up tomorrow depending on how much free time I have
[HTC Sensation] Madeli:
I've noticed that its hard for "not so known" devs to share roms and get good rates. We all know ARHD is huge... LeeDroid is well known etc etc. But i say... give the new roms a fair chance before rating. I like new roms.. u never know how good they and the dev are until you give it a chance.

One rom i tried (before all these ics roms came) was SensationXMod007 that not many ppl use... and i prefer that rom before ARHDs 3.0 sense rom. Its super stable and have great battery life.

Anyway... just my thoughts regarding ratings ;)
[HTC Sensation] maxoveride:
Hopefully the new version works Johnny,

I couldn't get it to boot last night.

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I will be re uploading it again tonight, because I'm 16 I still have to comply with my parents wishes and that includes turning my computer off when told! :/
[HTC Sensation] Gtj94:
I hate it when my parents do that! :P

Quick question, will you be releasing it with the stock or OC'd (still stock) kernel?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I can offer a patch from stock 1.2 on sensation (1.5 on XE) to 1.5 on both.
[HTC Sensation] Gtj94:
Eh, don't waste your time, people can flash their kernels themselves, I was just wondering which kernel would be included :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
The stock 1.2/1.5 one because some people who have normal sensation and flashed the 1.5 kernel have been complaining of high battery life drain
[HTC Sensation] maxoveride:
Hey Johnny,

Was just wondering I noticed that the GB sense 3.0 has a better color contrast compared to the Sense 3.5. You reckon that the bravia port which you have included in your ROM would help get back that kick ass contrast?

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] Gtj94:
Nope, tbh the bravia engine doesnt really do anything. You can look it up on google but afaik all it does is "enhance" photo and video quality. Nothing to do with the actual screen itself.
[HTC Sensation] peewster:
hm, download link is broken ?
[HTC Sensation] maxoveride:
Damn, looks like I'll be chillin with GB till then :-/
[HTC Sensation] yasinis:
broken for me, too!

can i flash the XE rom to my non-XE sensation?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I have added the bravia engine in but I'm not sure how much difference it makes
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I know, I took the link offline yesterday because of boot issues then whilst uploading a fixed version, my parents told me to turn off my pc. I should be able to re upload it sometime tonight if all goes well though ;)
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
holy crap, that's epic! and for that alone, this will be the first ICS ROM i will try...subscribed!

tell me, why the 2 threads?

[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Working on it, I need you guys to test it though, I will release a test version fix sometime tomorrow
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
Awesome. Thank you. I dropped you a small donation earlier today.
[HTC Sensation] Cadeo:
Sounds good, thanks for replying so quick.
[HTC Sensation] ndavidetnt:
thanks for the answer.

I don't use system tuner pro so it's not a governor problem. As far as radio is concerned I thought it was mandatory to use the one included in the 3.24 firmware. Do you have any info about other radio that go well with ICS. Should I try the one I used on gingerbread?
[HTC Sensation] Isis111:
Hi Jonny,

After flashing 5.1.0 everything worked like a charm. Then I decided I wanted my blue over-scroll back and flashed it later. It stop the device from booting. I'm only making you aware of the issue and not asking you to do anything because its simply cosmetic and I can live without it. Other then that, DarkForest continues to be the best ICS rom out there and mine is running without a hitch. Great work!!!
[HTC Sensation] rickyjune:
Order of Installation

ok, so im moving from a different ROM

do i superwipe first

then install firmware first [is that in bootloader or recovery mode]

then the recovery touch

then the rom

THANKS!!!! :D

PS: is the add-ons on the first page suitable for 5.1.0
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thank you, I appreciate it greatly :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Mods and themes from previous builds need to be redone due to a different framework-res.apk file. Will hopefully post a blue one later.

I am also concentrating on a senseless version, for those who like the AOSP look :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Add-ons in first post are not compatible with 5.1.0 I need to redo them :)
[HTC Sensation] kloenie:
will try this rom today :D
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Blue Overscroll

Added Blue Overscroll add-on to first post, enjoy :)
[HTC Sensation] Dunc001:
Two questions - I thought I'd give DarkForest a try today so I flashed it on my new XE. I selected volume wake up, newer rosie (not older one), Orange UK, not 1.5 kernel. First question is - volume key wake up isn't working, does one of the other choices during flashing break that? Second question is - Orange Signal Boost, does anyone have it working? I enabled it and the red house appeared but never turned green. So I fixed permissions in 4ext and rebooted. This time first time I enabled it it eventually turned green but I couldn't dial out, dialer screen just stayed at 'Dialling'. Tried a few times and a few more reboots, but only ever got it to turn green once more, and could never dial out or sms. Am I missing something or can anyone else confirm that it isn't working?

Small MMS Fix test 1

For those who are having small MMS issues, try this (It is a first test and should hopefully fix it)

http://www.mediafire.com/?5pq19wdr114srza

Also posted as attachment :)
[HTC Sensation] -BK-:
Dunc,

Volume key wake up isn't working.

About Ornge Signal I don't know as I don't live in UK and can't test...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It is only mandatory to use the firmware files in the package because some of the files have changed and cause bootloops if using a GB firmware. AFAIK you can use GingerBread radio's but i have not tried myself as i get better signal strength with the ICS radio.

Another thing that occurred to me is maybe you have an app running in the background that is permenatly connected to the internet when you have a signal so it is draining your battery, try using a task manager to find the app and then kill it :)
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
Didn't work for me. I took a nandroid, flashed the zip, rebooted. had someone send an MMS... still small.

Did I need to clear my caches or anything before flashing it? Any chmod required?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
i will get another test up in a few mins, i think I know what was wrong with that one
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
MMS Fix v1.1

Try this one for MMS fix :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
MMS Fix v1.2

If v1.1 doesn't work on MMS fix, try this one (I raised the max values a bit more)
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
I get:

(Status 6)

Installation aborted.

when I try to flash it.

I didn't restore my nandroid after flashing 1.0, I just flashed this one over 1.0.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
MMS Fix v1.3

New one again! try 1.3 :)
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
No dice. Flashed that one over 1.1 and received an MMS. Still small.

BTW, thanks for working on this for me... this is the only bug I found in ROM so far. :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
MMS Fix v1.4

No problem, try this one :)

p.s if that one doesnt work then the only solution i can come up with is that the MMS values are set on boot then saved to /data somewhere so the only way to fix it would be to do a full super-wipe and re-install of the ROM and then directly flash the MMS fix zip after the ROM
[HTC Sensation] KeiranFTW:
You could adb push the files to see whether your theory is correct, or change the value in the ROM :)

Sent from my R800i using DarkMIUI 2.2.3
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
1. 4 gives me the status 6 installation aborted.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Sorry, made a syntax error whilst adding a format cache in updater-script, try this one
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I think it might be set on 1st boot like the fps of downanimation so only way to test is a super-wipe and reflash (that is unless one of the flashable zips work)

Its a bit like in flash using SOhandlers, if dataSaved == 1 {read from values from /data} else {read values from xml}
[HTC Sensation] KeiranFTW:
Nice example lol.

So it would then permanently load the values from XML instead of the ones from /data after first boot or does it just store the data?

Also, might have something to do with the message app?

Sent from my R800i using MIUI
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
No luck. Oh well. Most of the ROMs I've used in the past have this problem. It's rare that it actually works for me. I don't get a lot of mms. Usually I just tell the person to email me instead.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
i tried an AOSP ROM for the first time earlier this week and just found it ugly and boring...i instantly wanted Sense back

but you should do it as there aren't many to choose from, and if your sense rom runs so well i'm sure you AOSP will also

you want this?
[HTC Sensation] KeiranFTW:
I think he meant stock android themed, not AOSP :)

Sent from my R800i using MIUI
[HTC Sensation] Cadeo:
Wiped reflashed and it worked
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
You got the small mms fixed? Which version of the patch did you use? Full wipe?
[HTC Sensation] Cadeo:
tiny mms

I used version 1.5 and yes a full wipe with superwipe and reflashed the rom than the fix than booted.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thanks for testing, I will include this v1.5 in the next update of the ROM. unfortunately it probably won't come until Wednesday as it includes the EQS mod which I obtained permission to use as long as I waited a week after the initial release :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
On first boot it would load values from xml because (going back to the example) dataSaved == 0 and is empty, then somewhere in the function of loadFromXml there would be an export command, e.g { exportDataFromXml (code to copy xml values to somewhere in /data)}

Then once the export command has finished, it would set dataSaved as == 1 so on next boot it loads values from /data

That's the best way I can come up with to explain it :D
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yes, it will be based on this ROM but Senseless and AOSP themed ;)
[HTC Sensation] teknomar7:
I will wait for the new ROM to drop and test with a full wipe then.
