Im about to make my nandroid backup of Pegasus v2.7.0 completely themed and setup how i like it, and now im about to do a complete sd card reformat via my pc, then super duper wipe as i call my method,Lol. Then im going to Flash sense 4 with the new tweaks. As Stated the tweaks were the only thing keeping me from sense 4 so this is awesome. :victory: I would like to ask if there is any suggestions from anyone using sense 4 for someone new to it like me. Specifically if most have been using the new tweaks successfully without any problems after installing them. Some may say if the only thing keeping me from the rom is the tweaks that it's petty and i should be concerned how the rom runs, but i dont worry about that on this thread so i can bother to worry about the petty stuff and not major things,lol, Everything made in this thread usually runs flawlessly so no worries there. :) Thanks for any help you all. :cowboy:

UMMMM... Really.lol, Id be very glad to help if you can make more sense out of your question. Do you mean how do you install this rom?
[HTC Sensation] pats4life100:
Yes srry new the sensation got tired of my note gs3 so friend gave me this phone
[HTC Sensation] sIpInWiT mYdRoId:
LOl, Funny thing is that i always looked at the new change log and never looked at the original change log from the initial release except for once, and always knew i seen it said that zram is enabled by default somewhere. Then someone showed me the original change log the other day. Where it says this then i was like ah, now i know where i seen this,lol

Are you rooted and s-off. And if so is your bootloader also unlocked. If you can give me this info i can gladly pm with you and guide you through it as it would take alot of space in this thread explaining this.
[HTC Sensation] pats4life100:
Yes all that's be done I just wanted to make sure there wasn't no must need to do to install this rom or is it just download rom wipe and install
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
It's funny, I never thought I'd enjoy Sense 4.0 as much as I do! I was like you and was happily using Pegasus. I just decided to try Sense 4 to see what the fuss was about and figured I could just restore my nandroid if I didn't like it. I haven't looked back since.

The PKMN look almost exactly like those found in Leedroid for 3.6. Leedroid for 4.0 (ver.1) was seriously lacking and I missed the minor tweaking I could do on 3.6 but just decided I liked 4.0 enough to live with it. Now I can have my cake and eat it too! LOL! I don' think you were being petty at all...after all, it's not like Pegasus was crappy or anything. It is an awesome ROM too!

As far as the transition from 3.6 to 4.0, it will feel...different. Not sure how to describe it. But once you get used to it, it will be just fine. And that's especially true now that the PKMN Tweaks are introduced. Actually after flashing the Tweaks file, the line blurs between 3.6 and 4.0.

Anyway the best thing you can do is try it out and play around with it. There are former die-hard 3.6 users, like Cat, that I thought would never switch...but they did! LOL! The most humbug thing will be setting up everything again exactly how you like it since you can't port things over from 3.6...but it will only hurt once! :D

LMK if you have any specific questions. I'm the furthest thing from an expert, but if there's anyway I can help I will try.

Take care and welcome to 4.0! :highfive:
[HTC Sensation] sIpInWiT mYdRoId:
Ok. Then all you have to do is make sure that you have your firmware base updated to the latest 3.33 firmware base then download Superwipe from the op, then any rom you like and flash away. I use pegasus sense 3.6 as almost everything has the option to be customized but am at the moment getting ready to install sense 4 to see what the tweaks are like and possibly going to stay with that if it's what im thinking it will be from what im hearing. Basically all these roms run flawlessly. Just make sure not to install google now and samsung voice at the same time,lol.
[HTC Sensation] pats4life100:
Kool
[HTC Sensation] sIpInWiT mYdRoId:
Thank you very much for the very detailed reply. You damn near got me staying on sense 4 forever now and i haven't even flashed it, lol. I flashed it one time on one release but leedroid tweaks as you mentioned was way outdated and could barely change anything except as you said, minor tweaks. But to respond back about the setup, i never back any of my apps up, that's the part of the fun to me is resetting everything up. And i have free time now so figured id take the time to do it.

I also even make a new gmail account everytime i flash a new version, lol. It was hilarious cause i think some were noticing i was doing this and on the last release everything that had to do with pegasus2.7.0@gmail dot com was completely taken,lol.
[HTC Sensation] Catpoule:
hi clyde, can you explain me what is this file we have to flash before flashing sebastian kernel?

do we have to flash this file before flashing another kernel like FAUX or what ?
[HTC Sensation] pats4life100:
I'm running sence 4 but its laggy any reason why
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
Trying to fine tune the battery a bit.

I must say that Pegasus 2.7 is the best ROM I have used to date. My bluetooth issue is gone, everything is snappy and I got 19 hours out of my battery. That was with 3 hours screen time and an hour on the phone. This new Sebastian kernel and 2.7 is really working out well so far. With that being said, I was looking for a way to improve my battery before this new ROM came out. I read this article: http://therootofallevo.com/2011/09/demon-hunter/. Though it in an EVO forum it had an interesting formula to try and find out what is eating up your battery. The author said to use system panel and battery monitor widget to find the culprit for battery irregularities. Like I previously stated, I am getting incredible time now, but there is, after reading this article, something I think that I can improve to extend the life a wee bit more.

The first pic attached is a screen shot from System Panel. I am using the monitoring function to record what apps are running by CPU usage. The second pic is a close up of a segment of 'usage. The area of note is the middle. From around 2am - 6am (guesstimating) the screen was off and "should" have been in sleep mode. However, the graph underneath it shows that CPU activity was in the 25% range that whole time. This, according to the article, is abnormal and is not in the 3% deep sleep range like is "should" be. Pic 3 & 4 are of the consumption of System UI and System processes and their percentage of consumption/contribution to the CPU activity.

Does anyone know what component in either process is not allowing the phone to go into deep sleep mode? I looked through all the apps I have and these two are the ONLY things that are constantly high/active. Maybe those much smarter than I can figure this out. Maybe this can help some of you to further maximize the use of this excellent ROM. Hope this helps and thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Hi Cat, my understanding is that Showp changed the way the Bricked kernel works by including the mpdecision and thermald components normally in the rom into the kernel. This required that the files that would be in the rom by default needed to be removed and his kernel scripts do this. Other kernels do not include these components as they take the more traditional route of allowing the rom to control these aspects, but as such their kernel scripts don't add these files back. So, again based on MY understanding, when moving from a Bricked kernel to another kernel requires adding these files back and that is what the file does. I'm however not sure how faux handles the problem and he may have another way of handling the situation.

Check this post where faux quotes Sebastian and makes reference to the problem http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30220385
[HTC Sensation] Catpoule:
clyde i think your understanding is correct :good:

it sounds good to me

thanks for that my friend

hi guys,big kisses to my elegancia friends by the way,

i have a question about google now, some strange behaviour. i have noticed that we have to choose beetwen s-voice and google now, so i decided to try google now as svoice doesn't work properly for me.

but i was wondering if it was normal that we have to quit app by clicking on home button ? i can not leave app with back arrow ....

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

thanks my friend, i just read it ....
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
You could be right and perhaps I've just confused myself, but is it not the case that both kernel and rom need to work together to enable this functionality. If it was purely rom dependent then why do we for example get the option to choose to either enable or disable zram in Bricked's aroma install option? As I understand it Sebastian is saying by default zram is disabled in his kernel and that you need to run the commands to enable it, provided of course that the rom also supports this. When this whole zram thing first surfaced and IIRC show had included this functionality but it didn't work on all roms as the devs also need ed to include some changes to enable this. Of course I could also be completely wrong on this ;)

For saving battery, if you have an unlimited internet bandwith, you can try AUTO DATA.

Ok, I've made the icon app but it's a good app! :D
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
zram to run needs 2 conditions, kernel + a script to enable it.

All 4 custom kernels (Sebastian, Bricked, Faux and Anthrax) have zram enabled.

As Elegancia roms have the zram script by default, any of the above kernel will run zram by default. To disable zram will need to go to etc/init.d folder and delete the 90zram file/script inside this folder.

The only kernel not zram capable is the stock one.

As far as switching kernels coming from bricked kernel to any other kernel, I would advice to flash the current init.qcom.post_boot.sh (

only for Sense 3.6

) file from Blitz/Pegasus Roms posted hereafter.

But keeping bricked init.qcom.post_boot.sh file shouldn't be that critical anyway !
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Just so I'm clear...I flash the included (to this post) zip before flashing any kernel coming from Bricked? So I can just use yours instead of the one out here for Sebastian?

Just want to make sure. Thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Mate, are you still on Sense 3.6?

The attached init.script is for Pegasus/Blitz....

I flashed Sebastians on monday evening when I fully charged my battery. Still have 50% left :)

Seems like Sebastians kernel is now improved for base 3.33 - that makes so much fun now :)

Only thing - I can live with - I recognized at it is, when booting system after reboot it starts with the contact screen - not with home screen

Work with tweaks in Blitz 2.7.0, did not work in version 2.6.0. Also is it possible to stop weather forecast in the morning, is it unticked in the settings but still appears in the morning.
[HTC Sensation] KCuadrado:
Indeed, weather in lock screen happens to me too even if it's not selected. I selected it and disabled it today to see if it still persists
[HTC Sensation] Daiskei:
This is usually the case, it's that the feature is enabled or disabled by default and the check box isn't matching up for some reason so it needs to be disabled/enabled and then enabled/disabled again to fix it.

[HTC Sensation] peter_65:
I am getting a bit disappointed about this thread........

It looks more and more like a social media ...

Also: there seem to be issues mentioned, or alternatives to this Rom that are being debugged and debugged...

Why not start a new thread about these things ?

And leave this thread to its purity: issues with the Rom as it has been supplied by its creator Steve.

There are so many things that seem to be off-thread, to me.
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Peter,

this is the difference between us and other rom threads. We treat everything here in a kind and personal mannor, not even rom related.

If you read other rom threads you will quick recognize the difference.

I think I can say this for everybody that we're proud to be a happy Elegancia family who is taking care about every new family member.

If you don't like the way we treat each other just ignore the sentences between and stay topic...(pls do not misunderstand)
[HTC Sensation] peter_65:
Hi Prinz,

txs for your comment.

I certainly don't misunderstand :)

It's difficult to stay on topic when there are x pages about kernels, radio's, volting etc.

So basically what I do is: when I see a change of Rom version I just apply it regardless anything.

But having said that I think you are losing a member who was almost feeling being a part of this Elegancia family.

And I may not be the only one..
[HTC Sensation] aftab565:
I am using this MOD with Blitz 2.7.0 along with Bricked Kernel v1.4

and i choose Superondemand@screen off BOOST then UV with -75 .

my beast is running gr8 , no heat issue , no lag , so far very impressive battery life.
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Yes, but I think that the main thing is to talk about those relevant issues which appear when testing radios, kernels or what ever. Sharing experience sholdn't be a matter to talk about.

And as far as everybody gets answerd their questions, everything's ok, or do I see it different?
[HTC Sensation] lazybeast:
Even though, this thread doesnt stay on top of just the problems related with the rom. Kernels, radios, etc that are mentioned, I have learned a lot from it and learned to play around with it. I occasionally come back to this thread as least once a week to see useful topics( to me) that are posted. Even if Elegancia is losing some of you but they are gaining some members like me that don't know too much about the development side, but like the helpfulness and beauty of the rom itself.
[HTC Sensation] peter_65:
I agree, But why not create an Elegancia family thread to discuss these wonderful issues that you have. Don' t get me wrong, I am very positive about everyone helping each other, But things are getting too much off topic.

Perhaps its the way these threads and posts hang together.. you can' t find your way anymore.

Random Reboot Problem

In my old posts I have been telling about the random reboots of my sensation. I finally came to the conclusion that my battery has died. I reflashed the stock shipped rom for sensation for my area. Now my mobile is quite stable and working fine though it does shut off but very rarely. And the battery is also working fine. I am unable to come to any final result what I should do e.g. change the battery, flash the custom rom or stay at stock definitely updated to ics.

Please look into my problem seriously and suggest me the way out.

Thanking all.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:

[HTC Sensation] chevy383surfing:
VRAM/partition swap.

Does anyone here know if this ROM supports this:

There are 2 thing that need to match for swap to work :

1) The kernel must support swap (virtual memory)

2) The ROM must support init.d scripts

Thanks for any input!

Voice Dialer woes...

Still no luck trying to replace the Google Voice Dialer with Steve's. Steve's works so much better...

Anyone have ANY more ideas? When I press the button on my bluetooth device, it still brings up Google's Voice Dialer...which doesn't understand 99% of the names I throw at it. It doesn't even give me a list to choose from in case it didn't understand correctly...just dials the wrong person.

Do I need to "train" Google better? I know there is a function that has Google "learn" from listening to my commands and whatnot in order to improve accuracy but it's still not helping all that much as far as I can tell...

The Voice Dialer Steve cooked in worked 100%. Never gave me a problem with any of the names I told it to call. Here in Hawaii, we have many multi-ethnic names but it always worked flawlessly. Google has no such luck.

I like GoogleNow and don't want to get rid of it...but I might have to if that's what it takes to get the old Voice Dialer back. Steve, as chef, any suggestions?

There has to be a way to change the default action of pressing the button on a bluetooth device from Google's Voice Dialer to Steve's!

Interestingly, before, if I had 2 things that did the same thing, like Voice Dialer and Vlingo, when I pressed my bluetooth button it would give me a choice on what I'd like to use as the default. I had no such choice. It just automatically assumed I'd like to use the crappy Google Voice Dialer.

I'm losing my mind! Please someone smarter than me (in other words almost all of you :)), anyone have an answer besides getting rid of GoogleNow? Of course I never tried removing GoogleNow so I don't know if even that's the real culprit but I'm assuming so since between 2.6 and 2.7 that was the major addition, correct?

Thanks in advance all! Sorry for the long post!
[HTC Sensation] chevy383surfing:
This is just an idea. Have you tried going into settings/apps and resetting the Google voice defaults to 0? And have you tried freezing this app in titanium backup?

[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Hi Chevy!

Thanks for the reply!

Would your suggestions affect how GoogleNow works? I'm trying to have my cake and eat it too I guess, but I'd like to keep GoogleNow. Just want my bluetooth device to fire up Steve's Voice Dialer instead of the Google one...

I will look into your suggestion though and see if it helps! Hell, at this rate, I'll try ANYTHING! Nandroid is my friend! LOL! :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] chevy383surfing:
This I do not know. Freezing the google voice should not hurt anything. I am right in the middle of flashing the Sense 4.0 ROM on this thread. Once I get this squared away I will look into this GoogleNow myself.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Thanks Chevy!

I just looked...I DO NOT have Google Voice in my settings/apps. I looked under All apps and do not have it.
[HTC Sensation] chevy383surfing:
Yea, I just found out that you have the choice of having google voice on the phone while in the process of flashing the Sense 4.0 ROM. Did your ROM give you the choices too? At the beginning, that is. I assume all these apps come built within the ROM itself.

Solution: use hotmail app from Googleplay :)

For GoogleNow, indeed use homekey

1 and 2 positive. look at my earlier post on this topic (ZRAM)

Best solution is to flash back the Rom w/o wipe and do not install GoogleNow during the Aroma installation :)

Did you full wipe?

If you Full wipe, format SD Card and use a 3.33 base kernel, I don't see why you should have those random problems :good:

It simply restores the main rom related files, or in your case will remove Google Now, while still keeping your other apps and data untouched

Kernels can be experienced differently by different users, so try them out yourself. Sebastian's kernels have always performed well on Steve's 3.6 based roms.
