Sense 4.0 v. 2.00: Initial Observations

I successfully installed Elegancia Sense 4.0 v. 2.00 about a week ago, and overall, I am very pleased with this build. I flashed the recommended 3.33 firmware, performed a superwipe, and installed the rom with all of the recommended settings. This was a clean install, with no recovery from Pegaus 1.0, the prior rom. The only changes I made was installing the stock HTC keyboard application, and replacing the beats wallpaper with the stock HTC One X background (the green and yellow field).

The Sense 4.0 interface is fast and responsive, comparable to Pegasus 1.0 overclocked at 1.6 GHz (SebastianFM kernel). The native tethering application (aka Mobile Hotspot) works flawlessly.

The battery drain appears to be somewhat kinder and gentler than Pegasus 1.0, however there are still substantial drops in battery power if I use GPU intensive programs. See post 12766 in this thread. This may be a GPU driver issue, but I digress. I have had good luck with using the lowest brightness level, and the builtin web browser (instead of chrome) with Flash turned off. I have been able to get a little over 24 hours between charges on light to moderate usage (no more than 4 hours of cumulative usage).

I have some reservations about the radio, and whether it is fit for use in my locale. I live in Olympia, WA (about 1.5 hours south of Seattle, WA), and used the 10.14.9035.01_M and 11.19.3504.29_2 radios in the past. They were able to consistently lock in on a 4G signal (3-4 bars) on the stock and Pegasus 1.0 roms. The 11.24A.3504.31M radio, which came with the 3.33 firmware usually locks on 3g signal(4-5 bars). I see the H signal, every now and then, when I am on the highway near a cell tower. I would note that this has little to do with the firmware, or the rom, other than the radio comes with the same. Radio image performance varies by locale, and I will seek guidance on the Sensation Radio/RIL thread.

The bottom line is, this rom is well made, and put together. I am very happy with the upgrade, and recommend users coming from Pegasus, Blitz, or any other rom to give this a try. If you follow the recommended install instructions, and perform a clean install, it should work as good for you as it has for me.

Regards,

D.G.

Hmm so far no random reboots, running sense 4 v2. Everything running smoothly using radio 11.69 with ril 24. maybe reboots are possibly mix/match incompatibility? Oh and still runnin 3.32 firmware. Idk if this helps anyone.
[HTC Sensation] akapaul26:
Good feedback but really we should advise other users to stick to the chefs recomendtions! I have tested all builds....all are running GREAT no problems! No reason to change anything for me.

Hi all,

I posted this on the general sensation board as well but im posting here also to get more exposure to my problem.

Im having problems with tethering with my sensation and it is frustrating me. I've tried it with 2 laptops and also with my desktop and still no success. The wireless devices do recognize the phone with no issue and showing me full reception, but yet i cant browse and it seems something is blocking it.. is it something that has to do with the phone or is it that my cell provider blocking it?

here is a picture to demonstrate the problem. As you can see, the phone is identified with full reception and telling me it is connected, but theres the yellow mark which indicate a problem and it says "no internet access" although i am connected.

It is like that with every device i try to tether

P.S

If it matters, then im using the Eleganicia sense 4 rom although this problem also happened with sense 3.6 rom as well so i hardly think it has something to do with the rom, but im telling this anyway
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Hi Mazinya,

Did you tried the solution from the FAQ for Sense 4? Also make sure your phone is set to DHCP protocol.
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
Hi Lucky Thirteen,

How do i set my phone to DHCP protocol?
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Which app are you using to tether?
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
well, i used the WIFI Hotspot that comes with the rom, but now im trying the solution from the FAQ

Edit: The cooked in 3rd party app named WiFi Tether seems not to connect with my PC as my PC doesnt recognize theres a portable hotspot and i followed the steps

Edit 2: yep, DHCP is on
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Doh! I am sorry I have done a mistake, I should have write on your laptop instead of phone. Not completely awake this morning...:o

So just go to your laptop WiFi network settings and in Properties just change TCP/IP 4 settings to DHCP.

EDIT : Well I can't help you much, I have very basic knowledge with tethering as I don't use this function. Wait advices from more qualified then me on that matter. Sorry! :)
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
Inside TCP/IP 4 is says that DHCP is enabled, so i guess its not it :(

Thanks for your efforts

sense 4.2.0.0

Hi all

sorry but there is something that i cannot work out which you may be able to help with

I upgraded to Sense 4 2.0.0 but it was not stable for me and seemed really slow so i reverted back to 1.0.0 (i have checked the md5)

now i didnt flash the new 3.33 firmware as i cant see anywhere in the instructions to do so and thats all i can think of that maybe the problem as i have had no issues with any other releases of this rom

so do i need to flash 3.33 and is it ok to do so for sense 4 2.0.0 ?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Can you select DHCP instead of TCP/IP, I mean is there a main option DHCP to select instead the sub-menu in TCP/IP?

«Very funny, Scotty... Now beam down my clothes!»
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
No, there is only a sub option
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Hi machmandp,

It's totally safe to flash 3.33 firmware. Click on Wuala in my sign and navigate to Firmware 3.33 RUU to download it, then put the PG58IMG.zip file at the root of your sd card, remove your battery, put back your battery, hold volume down and press power while still holding volume down. Confirm and follow instructions to reboot. Erase the PG58IMG file from your sd card. Firmware done.

:)

@ Lucky Thirteen

Thanks for your downloads in your sig very helpful.

one question the radio folder is the radio and ril ok to use on UK phones ?
[HTC Sensation] kabuki05:
returned to firmware 3.32.

With 3.33 firmware, the battery drain fast and wifi conections lost continuosly with the phone in sleep mode.

(Sorry for my inglish)
[HTC Sensation] mark1316:
Did you do full wipe ? I have no issue with 3.33 firmware mate
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
No problem since radio & RIL are not region dependent.

:)

«Very funny, Scotty... Now beam down my clothes!»
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Do you maybe use the Sense 4 rom and changed the kernel?
[HTC Sensation] kabuki05:
Yes, in 2 times, and same result, with 3.32 firmware in blitz 2.0 rom, works well.

I´m using a Stock kernel (htc at 1.2)

Re. Missing Sense Mail Widget

Yes, indeed I thought that also. I had already tried a reinstall, and I had Aroma take nothing out, and the same 71 choices were on the "Browse All" menu as were there on my first go round, when I had removed 12 - 14 items. The other full page widgets like Calendar, Tasks, Watch, are there but no email.

I'm not going to try and go back to stock just to see one silly widget, so short of chalking it up to random hallucinations :laugh:, I dunno...
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
You can do this:

Take the rom zip file and go to system/apps.

Copy the mail widget onto your memory card and move it to system/apps in your device, perform a hot reboot and you'll have the widget back

edit// HTCMail widget attached

Facebook and HTC mail not working

Hi Guys,

I have just installed latest Elegancia ICS Sense 4 v.2.0.0 ROM on my Sensation and I have some issues.

I'm not able to set up Gmail account in HTC mail (error message: cannot connect to the remote server..) or log in to Facebook app () when I'm on mobile network. On Wifi everything is working fine. Mobile internet is working fine, Weather app+ Friend stream, Gmail app etc are updating without any issues. It looks like the apps are trying to connect to the server, I can see the traffic but nothing is returning back.

I have updated my phone with the latest Firmware 3.33 Universal, did the Full/Super wipe, running the latest bricked kernel, reinstalled the ROM two times but still not working.

Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
Running a clean install of Sense 4 2.0 stock look with the Bricked kernel that was baked into the build. Works flawlessly after two days of use.

CPU set at 1566/192. On demand cfq, set on boot.

Sensation 4G TMOUS running 3.33 firmware and new radio.

Radical!
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Migellito, why do you post the same questions on 2 different threads ?

HERE

1) as mentioned in the changelog, you shouldn't change the kernel of Sense_4 otherwise it will break the wifi tethering fix and most probably the wifi too

2) some users phone don't like 3.33 firmware, maybe that your phone case? revert back to 3.32 firmware to see if it helps?
[HTC Sensation] Migellito:
Thanks for advice and sorry for the repost but I'm running this ROM now but with the same problem.

I have installed the precooked kernel not something different.

I have downgraded to 3.32 firmware restarted the phone and tested but still the same problem :(
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Are you restoring any data and apps from Titanium Backup? You can also try clearing data and cache from HTC Mail and Facebook
[HTC Sensation] earlgrey_44:
Re. Missing Sense email widget

Since we all love interacting with misbehaving software so much, I'll share what happened with the damned widget.

I used Root Browser to look in /system/app, and concluded that the widget I was concerned with was htcmailwidgets3d.apk. It was there - just not working and not on any menu.

I couldn't check permissions, they said N/A. It took awhile, but I finally found out that Root Browser doesn't appear to play well with SuperSU. Great.

Went and got Rom Toolbox. Permissions were fine. Now what?

I noticed the the name of the file did not start with a capital letter, unlike most all other HTC widget files. So I renamed it with a capital H (I know, I know, I was a DOS user - save your laughter for the end).

As soon as I tried to close Toolkit, the Sensation went into a hotboot. No smoke or flames, though. After it settled down, sure enough, there were now 74 items on the HTC widgets menu, not 71, and the three new ones were the email widgets. (sigh) :victory: :cool:

So God's in his heaven and alls right with the world. Don'tya just love this stuff? :p
[HTC Sensation] Migellito:
Hi,

No I don't do any restores at all.

How do I clear the cache?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Go to Settings/Apps/All and find HTC Mail and Facebook, click on each app and clear data and cache for each app. Not certain that it will make a difference, but I guess it's worth a try. Did you uninstall any apps during the Aroma install? If so try doing a full wipe again and flash without deleting any apps.
[HTC Sensation] mark1316:
Guys any feedback good or bad on the New Radio and Ril ?

11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M

What order if any do you need to use ? Been a while since I had to do it lol
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Hey Mark, it's been a while. How you doing mate?

It doesn't really matter, but I normally flash radio first and then the ril. Radios are pretty much area dependent, so one persons experience may not match yours, but give it a go, you can always flash back.
[HTC Sensation] mark1316:
Hi M8 your right long time lol glad to see you on this Rom lol

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

Just made an ass of myself lol looks like the Rom has the latest radio lol Just checked well I think it has ?
[HTC Sensation] Migellito:
Thanks,

I have cleared the data and cache but still the same.

I have removed some apps during aroma install so will try again removing anything.

here are some info if this helps:

Android version 4.0.3

Sense version 4.0

SW number Sense4_V.2.0.0

SDK API level 4.21

Extension version 403_1_GA_9

Kernel version 3.0.36-Bricked-3.0-v1.36-gef905db

Baseband version 11.69.3504.00P_11.22.3504.07_M

Build number 1.11.401.110 CL68035
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Just for your information...

ROM never contain radio, only firmware. ROM always installing RIL when flashing. Probably if you just updated your phone to latest 3.33 RUU it is normal that your radio is to the latest available.

:)
[HTC Sensation] mark1316:
That explains it lol I really must keep upto speed on this page lol

Just noticed a new call recorder app on the build and its great. Any Idea how to turn it off after you switch it on ? lol
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Give it a go like this...

Backup your SD content onto your PC

Format your SD on your PC (make all by default)

Reinsert your SD

Go into Recovery -> Click Wipe/Format menu -> Wipe data/factory reset

Once done same menu and select format all partition (except sd card).

Go back to main menu

Select Install from SD card and select the tool provided at next line

Format your phone with this tool -> Elegancia FULL Wipe via Recovery

Then you can

Install a fresh downloaded version of Sense 4.0 -> here

Once done let settle your phone for 15-20 minutes don't touch anything, just leave it there.

After those minutes set language and skip the rest.

Reboot set your phone

Can you log in Google account?

noob question alert,dnt all shout at once ha ha

i decided to retry from scratch,full wipe,wipe sd card,no backup ****e and flashed new fw & super cid and have had no reboots in 46 hours........but 1 thing puzzled me & was wondering if its the reason for no reboots,i edited the PG58IMG.........as below but didn't have a clue which bit to edit so i edited a few :o,the 1's in bold,did i edit the right bit?

hbootpreupdate:1

also not changed radio but my h.boot version changed,finally doesn't say locked after 2 months tryin lol and kept the kernel that came with sense v2.0.0
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
I figure I can help you with this one :D

The android-info file does nothing more than tell your phone "This package supports these following CID(Carrier ID) and MID (Model ID) values". When you see cidnum: HTC***** these are wildcard marks.

So it covers HTC__000 all the way to HTC__999, and HTC00000 all the way to HTC99999

Now to answer your other question though. You only need to enter the line in once of HTC__001 (Always make sure it equals 8 chars) otherwise yes you did well :)
[HTC Sensation] Ty5982:
cheers,mustn't be a noob after all ha ha

i edited the virgin part as im on virgin lol then i noticed once edited & saved,all the others change to the same lol and i got the pg58img u posted,the universal,thanks for that,now my phone says revolutionary instead of locked,i no it dnt matter aslong as ur s-off but still pi@*ed me off ha ha,now to find out why my phone hasn't randomly rebooted for 2 days,i edited my build prop,im either lucky,or flashed everything perfectly in the right order lol
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
Can anyone help me solve this please?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Lets try this from a "IT" stand point and see if we can solve.

To begin with it shows you are connected and are getting a ! which = fantastic that means you have met your phone.

I am assuming if you go to Network and Sharing center it should go Computer --- Multiple Networks -- X --- Internet

(Now I may be wrong, but this is what I have experienced with the college kids where I work)

So hold the windows key (between CTRL and ALT) and hit r - Type in CMD.exe and hit enter

Follow with ipconfig /all in the prompt

Find your wireless card: (example below)

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF (Edited cause you don't need to know this)

DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes

Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.105(Preferred)

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 8.8.8.8

8.8.4.4

NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled

That is my connection for example.

Your IPv4 address should match what you set up your phone's tethering range to be. Most likely a 192.168.x.x range of addresses I would think.

Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0 (or something close to)

but. Does your default gateway match the same subnet as your IP range?

^^^^ Meaning lets say your IP address is 192.168.1.108. and your subnetmask is 255.255.255.0 your gateway should match 192.168.1.1

IF it doesn't. There is your issue and I would try a different tethering program.

Your phone should still tether even if your carrier blocks it. you usually just get a dumb message telling you that you suck and they want money or something close to this.

If this isn't it. We can go from here :P

You can't go to bed! Later Dougi!
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
After almost a day using Elegancia_ICS_2.0.1, I have noticed the following:

- faster or almost same speed as lastest Elegancia_GB !!!

- rock stable, not one single reboot or FC so far

- pretty smooth and snappier too

- GoogleMap has problem with login (i know how to fix this one)

- some glitches with menu of some applications (white text on white background), can't be fixed until we get new RUU.

=> my daily driver for sure. When we get Stock kernel boosted @ 1.5Ghz by Sebastian, that will make Elegancia_ICS flyyyyiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggg.

[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Look@ last lign of the notes from the changelog.

If you flash mods, then do it @ your own risk :eek:

Just wait few days for dougi to update the work :)

Notes

:

- During Installation Process you will be prompt to install kernel @1.2Ghz or @1.5Ghz.

The 1.5ghz kernel seems to break the Wifi, so I would suggest to

go to the Stock 1.2 Ghz kernel

- Enjoy Fully Sense skinned by selecting bluesky / Burgundy skins

- Elegancia ICS Mods/skins in Add-Ons Section are not yet compatible

[HTC Sensation] zozo10k:
Thanks for tip!

This ROM looks so damn good! Thanks!

Installed the Sebastian New 1.5ghz kernel and it's working fine. WiFi calling appears to be working fine for me, I have placed about 10 call so far and all worked for me.
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Your back from Elegancia_GB_1.4.5 might not be compatible with Elegancia_ICS.

Just make sure you save your applications in apk format from 1.4.5.

Then, flash the new firmware to get Elegancia_ICS to boot.

Does that reply to your question ?

Some people have said bricked 1.36 is working for them but it didn't work for me. I've been using faux 8b4 for 3 days now and it is working well for me, the only thing it does is sometimes when I choose reboot it just shuts the phone off, but other than that no issues.

Has anyone else with TMOUS noticed on Blitz 2.0 /SebastianFM kernel that Google navigation does not work? Just continually shows searching for GPS.....switched out kernel to faux008b4 and it worked without a problem immediately. No reboots yet with faux008b4, tried to make it happen by using Sound Search (Google Ears) repeatedly.

By the way, Sound Search is not as good as Sound Hound from testing the two. Sound Search failed to detect a few songs, but I could not fool Sound Hound.
