not trying to be rude, but i didnt get a reply to my question before, so ima reask it. im having an issue where as soon as i press the home button , if theres more than 2 apps running in the background it automatically kills it. thus making it near impossbile to multi-task and cause massive amounts of data transfer and heat in my phone... just curious if theres a way to stop it from closing apps so frequently. is there a kernal / mod configuration that i should be using?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Sorry must have missed your post. Anyway go into /system/etc/ and find init.qcom.post_boot.sh and find the line with	"/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree" in it, delete that line and in its place put the collowing lin:

echo "1024,2048,4096,8192,12288,16384" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

Then reboot your phone :)
[HTC Sensation] kgpp2293:
Don't mean to sound lame but how do I go about doing so ?? Like what app do I use. Do I have to do it on a computer or on the phone itself
[HTC Sensation] TorpedoGirl:
How can I remove this annoying icon?
[HTC Sensation] kgpp2293:
I figured out how to do it. But once I reset the phone it was super sluggish. And free mem was only 80mb :/ ended up just reflashing . Guess I gotta put up with it closing apps every so often
[HTC Sensation] MarcLister:
Hmm that didn't work. Not sure what you mean by launching the app without installing any other APK.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Sry I couldn't be more specific. I thaught that some other aplication u installed might damage somehow mirror.apk. That's why I adviced you to reinstall the rom a,d the open mirror, before installing any other application.
[HTC Sensation] mclaren2:
is this a bug?

if i set a sound for the alarm clock and pre-listen it, i can adjust the volume (popup says media-volume). however after the sound has played if i regulate the sound volume again it says "volume for alarm".

i made the experience that the former has no effect on the alarm volume, but only the latter. however you cant pre-listen "volume for alarm".

so you kinda have to "guess" what kind of loudness you like to get woken up. more than 1 time already i nearly collapsed in the morning because the volume was way too high.

afaik there was only 1 global sound setting in the sense 4 roms.

can anyone confirm this or has a workarround?
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I don't think this is a bug. The phone can handle more types of volume levels, like the one for the ringtone or in your case, the alarm clock one. You can set them depending on the aplication you use in a specific moment. In order to set these levels at any moment, please go to Settings> Sound> Volume.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Media Volume is not the same as Alarm Volume, not a bug :)

No there is no global setting in Sense 4 ROMs - it still has notification volume, Alarm volume and Media volume all separate from each other
[HTC Sensation] MarcLister:
Oh. Haven't reinstalled the ROM, just did a restart on the phone.

I've not installed any apps that would, I believe, interfere with the forward facing camera. If I get some time I might regress back to 7.1.0 or 7.0.0 and see if the Mirror app works on those versions. It could be the camera is knackered hardware-wise and it's not the app causing the problem.
[HTC Sensation] hunt:
Why it shows:: You are using any 3rd party keyboard..

How to remove:: Just turn off 3rd party keyboard from "Language & keyboards"

:)
[HTC Sensation] ema0185:
When choosing the Sense 4 keyboard during install this icon cannot be removed.
[HTC Sensation] djboris:
Hi Jonny,

I forgot to say thank you for the 7.2.0.

I use for two weeks.

I like it, even the JB anims not works.

I had some calling problem with 6.6.0 (the phone application crashed at incoming calls...)

The 7.2.0 looks really stable. No problem at all till now.

And the new restart screen perfect. :) Restart in bootloader or recovery without the CWM app. Really nice.
[HTC Sensation] TorpedoGirl:
No, I'm not :eek: there are only Sense keyboard and Google voice, but nothing changes if I uncheck the vocal keyboard :(

[HTC Sensation] smhouston:
Jonny,

Is there a way we can do an update from 7.1.0 to 7.2.0, or does it have to be a brand new install?

I've tried doing "Software Updates" in settings which says no updates are found, and also tried the OTA Updater app which has an error on available updates saying "Error fetching update info Invalid ROM (DarkForest) & device (pyramid) combo!"
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
OTA system is messed up on this and previous versions of this ROM, fully working version will be implemented in the next version
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Jonny, anything new?

7.3.0? :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Just finished school today so I'll start work on it later today or tomorrow :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I c. So, no ETA 4 now...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Nope ;)
[HTC Sensation] Azyrael:
is the hdmi out (mhl) supported? i couldn´t find information about that in any of your posts..

and btw: your website isn´t working atm.. just wanted to download your newest rom and try it..
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It's a sense 3.6 ROM so yes, hdmi should work. Updated download link, thanks for letting me know :)
[HTC Sensation] Azyrael:
Ok thanks. And the download is working again.

but after downloading i´m getting a virus alert about a android virus in the package (Android/Cosha.A.4).. (a size of 533mb is also very big oO)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
The size is bug because of what I offer during aroma installer, check the extras folder, no other sense 3.6 ROM offers this level of customisation ;)

Your antivirus is showing a false positive. It's not a virus but some less reliable AV packages think that HTC's calibration app HtcCalibrate.apk is a virus when its not :)
[HTC Sensation] Azyrael:
ok thanks. then i´ve got one last question: what´s the difference between die hard and bullet proof launcher?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Bullet proof cannot be killed by the OS but die hard can in certain conditions
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Still no ETA?

And pls Jonny, allow us in Aroma, to remove as many apps as possible (aka safe). Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Implemented - ported from DarkSense's aroma ;)

I'm aiming for it to be a Christmas present though that only gives me Monday to work on it (as I was at work today and all day tomorrow though...) There is a new base involved though ;)
[HTC Sensation] dollyaja:
Waiting for the christmast present :D
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yes :)

Ok, it is now fully uploaded and the file sizes on my phone and FTP match at 424.27MB so users may now download it. I apologise profusely for the bad upload yesterday
[HTC Sensation] budeone:
Downloading right now.. Thanks!!
[HTC Sensation] varxx:
@jonny: I know you've heard this before, but it would help if you would use a different version sequence. Maybe change the integer to 7 or something. As it stands, your release numbers are too similar to the current series of Android releases, which could confuse those of us who are easily confused.

For example, your current release is named "4.1" and is based on Android 4.0.3. That's sort of like having one kid named "Johnny" and the other one named "Jonny".

Maybe I'm the only one dense enough to care, but I suspect there are at least two others out there in the universe who are also at risk of being confused.

Either way, thanks for your work on your ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I did consider this when choosing ROM version number hence why i didn't put v4.0.1 I put 4.1.0 instead and I couldn't jump from version 3.2.1 to version 5!!

Also my username is Jonny (without the h) because my real name is Jonathon (again without h) and I get called Jonny as a nickname
[HTC Sensation] -fluffy-:
now we know ur name ur age hehe :)

now we only need fore u to tell us where u live LOL :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
age: already known i think :p

where i live: Not a chance!! :D:D
[HTC Sensation] varxx:
Yeah, but when I see "DarkForest Sensation XE ICS 4.1.0", my first thought is, "Great, ICS Android has moved up from 4.0.3 to 4.1.0".

You can choose version numbers arbitrarily, so no one would care if you moved from 4.1.0 right up to 5. Just explain in your change log.

But it doesn't really matter, I suppose.

Or maybe it does. Look at the signature of a senior member of this forum: "Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g ICS 4.0.3". The string "ICS 4.x.x" should be reserved for Android releases, I think.
[HTC Sensation] budeone:
Age, I saw your are in school.. man I wish i was still in school..lol
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Point taken, but it does say "ICS 4.0.3" in the thread title ;)
[HTC Sensation] bibihtc:
This time release is good. Unfortunately wifi is not working.

For the moment I have to quit your rom.

Good luck and thx again for your efforts.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
soooo...are we done with discussing Mr No-H-Jonny?

anyone have reviews on the new ROM...can anyone confirm if wifi works?

..he's 16 and lives in the UK :p

[HTC Sensation] chong5379:
i had updated my firmware to 3.24.401, but still get bootloops, any solution for me?
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
did you delete PG58IMG after flashing? did you flash the new ROM after the firmware?
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
I like it... I'm on Tmobile USA and wondering why I have 2 Constantly fluctuating 4G symbols? One is the At&T logo for 4G and the other is the normal 4G icon... Unnecessary and ugly and distracting. Just need a 2G and a 4G icon. That's all. Any flashable fix for this?

Everything else is great. I appreciate your efforts and I hope it's not read out of context. You've done great work here and bless you.

[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
sorry Jonny, i got stuck in bootloop also...i'd get to the beats audio screen and then it would restart...this is what i did

flashed new firmware successfully

superwipe

install DF 4.10 (not 4G, not UK, not XE, no Beats)

flashed ROM Cleaner (set to only remove twitface, etc, but not install any apps)

=bootloop

reflashed ROM DF 4.1.0 (same as above, this time keeping Beats)

=bootloop

superwipe

flashed another ROM

flashed ROMCleaner

=working

i've tested ROMCleaner extensively (on DF 3.2.1) and i can confirm that a reflash of the ROM over the system reinstalled all original ROM settings

i'm happy to try something if you have any ideas, but for now i'm on another ROM
[HTC Sensation] bibihtc:
I'm in Europe and I did a proper setup. Changing rom gave me WiFi back full functional.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Sorry about that, I used the SystemUI from another thread in themes and apps but didn't test. Will fix it in next update
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
That's a new one on me I'm afraid :( never happened to me and I tested it over 10 times,

I think I will remove 4.1.0 from FTP and work on a new ROM with the new base, this one is far too buggy (the base has loads of issues as well like browser, colour tint etc)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ok I will sort this out with next update over the weekend/ASAP
[HTC Sensation] D F:
OMG, new base. Awesome. Just can't wait Jonny, can't wait...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Minor changes, a fair amount of apk have changed, same with framework but I think only about 3-4 libs have changed :)
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Yes, I have seen that many apks wereupdated. Please don't forget about allowing us to uninstall as many apks as possible in Aroma.
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Hmm new base means full wipe, right?

Getting back to DF (since I can't find another Sense 3.6 rom with that kind of superb memory management), should I wait 'till new version? :D
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No full wipe shouldn't be needed because its only minor changes
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Just flashed DF and media scanning started acting up again :/

Whenever I open gallery after a reboot (and after letting it settle for ~5 minutes), folders and thumbnails load up normally and suddenly they disappear with an "unable to find any pictures or videos" error...

Quick video here.

Any idea what could be causing this? Didn't have this issue on ARHD or ViperS :/

Merry Christmas all :D

Update: managed to fix it with Rescan Media from market, possibly it will happen again at next reboot but I have no time to test it out. I'm thinking of using Rescan Media (the root version) to completely disable media scanner and just scan manually. I will test it more when I get back home :D

Update 2: well, rebooted and no such issue :D maybe it was just a hiccup :D
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Merry Christmas to all :)

However I must be the bringer of some bad news, I had maybe half a day at the most yesterday so unfortunately that was nowhere near enough time to sort an update out. Enough of the apk and framework have changed that I need to re-port the tweaks. However I think that's the only big thing left to do so hopefully I should be able to release the update around New year (I hope).

Hope you understand :)

Jonny
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Merry Christmas Jonny and everyone :)

Flashed DF again, buttery smooth, loaded it up with more than 200 apps, no issues even with games like ingress, gun club 2 or real racing 2 (they killed sense and everything else on previous roms), amazing. I feel like I just re-discovered my senny :D

Quick question. Is there any "fast" way to disable or enable xloud, apart from reflashing the rom?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Good to hear :)

To disable Xloud you can just delete the AudioEffectService.apk file in /system/app/ then reboot and it will be gone :)
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
To re-enable it again all I have to do is backup the file, push/copy it again, set permissions and reboot, right? :D Or just rename it to .bak and vice versa?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
That should do it :)
[HTC Sensation] r2089:
when I set the clock in the middle of the screen after a second clock showing up next to the battery. why? Used a long vipers rom but after returning to the sense 3.6 ... The speed of .... Without comparisons to sesnse 4 .... Sory my bad english

If you could also remove this annoying icon, will be awesome!

In CM10 there's an option to do that ("Selector notification - display input method selector notification"), but here's not :'(

Inviato dal mio HTC Sensation con Tapatalk 2
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
That's because that is CyanogenMod and this is Sense ;)

This doesn't pop up for me, try pressing it and then select the input and close the dialog. If that doesnt work go to the keyboard settings and switch the input then switch it back.
[HTC Sensation] umberto1978:
Hi Madden ;)

When i had Galaxy sII in my custom rom i usually modded the framework...in the following way.

You have to decompile yourself framework-res.apk, change the value in res\values\bools.xml (show_ongoing_ime_switcher) to false and recompile it back again. Then push to your system and you're done.

I guess it should work with every ICS based rom, sense or non sense (even AOSP), because this is a feature of the Android tree itself.

Maybe the OP can do this for you.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Cheers, didn't know about that, I will do that for v7.3.0 :)
[HTC Sensation] umberto1978:
I'm glad that you appreciate ;)

Now i am a Sensation XE owner and i was surprised to discover a rom from DFG.

I remember the dark forest group when i had a Samsung Star gt-s5230.

i started to mod that old phone reading the DFG star forums (i don't know if you know of what i'm talking about). Respect... And keep up the good work with sensation. :good:

Sorry for the OT :p
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
StarMods? I remember, I now admin that site :)
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
To remove that Icon you need to remove all the keyboards bar the one you are using. That icon is simply there to allow you to select them. Remove them from the system/app folder and that icon will go.

happy new year jonny and to everyone... thanks for good roms, just wanna ask about v7.2.0, is it running without issues already, cause I tried to flash it on my device but stuck on htc logo, so i flash back v7.0 :)...or maybe i missed to read something about the latest version?

If I were you I'd take a hiatus from devving till end of January. The only way you can actually succeed at A levels is to put your full concentration into revision. When you have your breaks have a fag or just watch some tv. Devving is just another tool of procrastination imo

Oh and Happy New Years to you and everyone on XDA!

[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Happy new year everyone :D

Jonny, quick question, are the LMK values intentionally so high (6/12/175/200/250/300mb) or there's something wrong with my flash? :P
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
You can choose in aroma, just reflash the ROM without wipe and choose lower values :)
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Hmm can't find any option in aroma for LMK values :/ I could try minfreemanager but I have no issue with them, I was just curious if those were the default ones :D
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Oh damn, sorry got confused between different ROMs!! The LMK values are in init.qcom.post_boot.sh so you can edit them to whatever suits you best and I'll probably lower them in the next version
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Giving it a try now, changed to 6/12/32/64/96/300mb with minfreemanager, no apparent changes in smoothness :)

Left last value to 300 because I want android to kill any ghost app immediately :D
[HTC Sensation] Quantum_Sensation:
why this ROM rarely gets update?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I need to re port the tweaks over again, I get bootloops with 3.33.401.154 and DF tweaks 2.2.0 but no bootloops without it so I've just started re porting the smali for the framework jars
[HTC Sensation] umberto1978:
I don't want to be rude, mate. But jonny answered a question about ETA just some posts above yours. Don't you think itìs enough? ;)
[HTC Sensation] wildcardspv:
Hey Jonny,

If you're into the Smali files, maybe you could take a look at the possibility of a long press back to kill mod?

I found a guide to do it for the Samsung epic, which seems to require changes to Smali files, but I don't know whether the changes are specific to Samsung or whether they are general android changes which could work on our sensations....

Here's the link - I know that seems weird when we're using HTC phones, but maybe it'll point you in the right direction

Seems like it could work, all the needed bits are there in the smali (though a little searching is required as HTC's file has much more code than Samsung's). It also recompiles fine, need to test at some point though :)

[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Edit: long story short, got a couple of reboots which were caused by the LMK, according to show-p:

I guess this happened because I tampered with minfree values with minfreemanager, first reboot occurred the same night after I set lower values.

I don't remember exactly which values I used, something like 6/12/48/64/92/300 (left last high on purpose just to kill ghost apps no matter what).

Anyway, I removed minfreemanager and rebooted, I'll keep monitoring it. If it happens again I'll follow your instructions on this post :)
[HTC Sensation] umberto1978:
@Jonny

I am using this rom since yesterday and seems very fine, good work. For me the best 3.6 based rom.

The only problem is the init.d support: if i put some init.d script it will not work.

For example: i usually run Faux kernel beta, the one that comes with aroma installer mod. I make my chooses on Aroma and reboot: no one of the tweaks will work, but the 99z_kernel is here.

Of course i checked the permissions and all seems right. Any suggestion? Maybe some other script blocks the one created by the aroma (BTW the mod work correctly with all other roms from the same base)..

And of course i tried also system Tuner and choosen the init.d support for my settings......and same result, no one of the tweaks setted on the script is applied.

Anyway thanks for yor work ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Should be fixed in the next version.

To everyone, an update on the update (oh the irony...). My exams finish on the 23rd but my last hard exam is the 21st (23rd is decision maths which is easy) so I'll restart work after that.
[HTC Sensation] wildcardspv:
No worries man, take your time.

In the meantime, want me to test the long press back to kill thing you made?

Good luck in the exams :fingers-crossed:

I accidently compiled it for Sense 4 instead of Sense 3.6 - but it works anyway so should be able to implement this :)

Hello Jonny!

I would like to lower my minfree values as instructed in this post.

Thing is, should I do it by replacing those values in the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file, or could I just use an app like auto memory manager or minfree manager?

I mean, are there any serious drawbacks using a third-party app (apart from the extra storage space).

TIA :)
[HTC Sensation] umberto1978:
I think is more better that you modify the values on the script. Anyway any third-part app would do this at the same way, but that app could start an unwanted background service to make its job (ram eating, battery eating).
