i flashed 8b8 v1, and it sucked.....battery....

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

Thats my experience for today. I flashed Faux 8b8 v1 and returned back to brick immediatly. But, I need to say, before base 3.33 I went well with Sebastians. And it's all device dependent. I'm in GER, have a different rario/ril and another config. Others may run good with Faux or Sebastians due to other configs/settings.

I'm back on bricked caus it gives me best battery behaviour on base 3.33

Here.

Wipe dalvik'n cache - flash script - don't reboot but flash kernel immerdiatly - reboot - enjoy
[HTC Sensation] Ulverinho:
Is this a script for kernel reset before flashing Seb's kernel? I've lost in quotes and quotes :)

'cause it seems there was another one for reseting?
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Yes, it is. You should flash before you flash kernel, strongly recommended
[HTC Sensation] dronepro:
Yeah i think i am going to stick with SebastianFM 1.5

this works for me very very well and very smooth. i am on 99% battery since i unpluged at 8am and it is now 12:24pm. i think this will do :)

i will wait until new Kernels are added to ROM as it seems to be a bit more stable, especially the new Faux123 8b8.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
I too gave the faux kernel a try just to see how it was. I got caught in a bootloop where I only got the splash screen. I couldn't get passed that! I had to do a battery pull then immediately went into recovery to restore my nandroid. All better now...back to Elegancia 4 with Bricked.

Unless someone can say how they got it to work, I can't see how faux is better than bricked with this ROM. Any update on this?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Yank mentioned fc's with a specific version of 8b8....
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
It was Yank's that I tried actually...
[HTC Sensation] DeactivatedProtocolDroid:
I experienced same issue. When I reboot after flashing Faux, it went on bootloop. Though I can get past the bootanimation. This happened to me on 3 tries/3 flashes. I tried the kernel reset zip by Socali once but had reboots as well.

Then I pulled out the battery, reformatted all partitions(except ad), wiped dalvik and cache. Reinstalled ROM with fullwipe(again) then immediately flashed Faux(without booting yet).

So far so good after doing that (redundant) process.

Maybe Steve should include an option in the Aroma to chose between 3 kernels since all of them are now working on Sense 4. (Downside is it will make the ROM download file larger)

Hello everyone,

I am having an absolutely terrible battery drain. Using this rom for over 4 days, and i love it. It's dying ridiculously fast. Bricked, 1.4GHZ, Badass - ive tried multiple governors.

48% on 3 hours and 48 mins

Screen - 62%

Android System -7%

Android OS - 5%

Cell Standby 4%

My Country Online - 4$

Com.htc.launcher - 3%

Phone Idle 3%

WiFi 2%

I alternated between the absolute lowest brightness and the first brightness setting on the brightness widget, so while the screen was the biggest waster, it wasn't because i tuned it to max brightness.

Better batery stats also showed a full hour and 32 minutes of the audioout_3 - which never happened to me for that long. However, that would not obviously be the issue, because the biggest killer was the screen, not cell standby..

what could be going on?

Sensation 4G, Elegancia Sense 4, Bricked, 1.4GHZ...

Please help, i would greatly, greatly appreciate it! :)

Install SebastianFM v1.5 latest. I am using it with much succes. you will find a link a few pages back. or simply go here http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1208218&d=1342692795
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
hey guys, i have a question for those who has stock battery, wich kernel has better battery life???? sebastian? faux? anthrax? bricked? wich configuration you use?????? cause i cant found the perfect one, and all reviews are with anker.... thanks in advance

PS: another thing, how in hell can i change status bar's icons? hell i dont like them xD, sorry steve but i dont like them :(
[HTC Sensation] dronepro:
Kernels have nothing to do with type of Battery. If a kernel gives you good battery life on Anker it will do the same on Stock and vice versa. Keep in mind that the use of the Kernel dictates battery consumption, therefore if a kernel gives you bad battery life on Stock battery you will have the same issue on Anker :) .

I am using SebastianFM 1.5 @ 1.728GHz and i am getting around 24Hrs with medium use. or about 18Hrs with heavyer use.

I would suggest you take a look at the programs/apps you have running in the background. they may be the culprit.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Hi Prinz,

Is this something that should be flashed before flashing ANY new kernel or just Sebastian? Sorry for the n00b question!
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
i know it has nothing to do, but, what i ment is that all feedbacks about battery life are from those who own anker batterys, so they has a bigger battery, when they say i have 24hs of battery life i have 1 and a half day of battery life this rom/kernel is awsome, when i look for it on my own i have 6 hours..... :S so for me that stats are not usefull..... thats why i ask for those who have stock battery, just to know that i will have something similar.... i've used sebastian on vipers and had good battery lfe....
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
im using both stock and anker alternately..in stock with medium to high usage and 75% brigthness, my battery last for 14-16hrs..in anker 18-20..sorry im not able to post screenshots..i just formatted my sd card..i'll post once I have the screenies..
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
I am now testing SebastianFM 1.50 kernel since it was reported that it might be better. So far, so good, although I JUST flashed it so time will tell. I'll report back any issues I might come across. First thing I did notice was that my phone DOES feel smoother. Don't know if it's my imagination or not though. But that is my initial impression.

Sorry this will be a n00b question:

Is there a way to add Sweep2wake? I kinda liked it and miss this function. I've done a search but only thing I found was that it's not added to Sebastian and wasn't going to be...but I wasn't sure if there was a way to add such a function. Not a deal breaker, but would be nice. From my search I'm not the only one...:fingers-crossed:

Thanks all!
[HTC Sensation] sIpInWiT mYdRoId:
Hey all this Faux 008B8 kernel & Pegasus v2.5.0 are freaking mentally amazing when together. I have been using bricked & SebastionFM for the longest now. I am on a stock battery, had my phone on for about 19hrs now, & yes with normal usage, not even a full set of charge cycles yet, & my battery is still at 85%, Holy lord. Lets just say there have been many post by me about how i don't care about battery cause as long as the ROM is great, i could care a less about a battery, but if im seeing this then it's not just Some type of misunderstanding on my behalf. Unplugged This morning, been taking pictures all day with the phone cause my nephews i raised from birth till 5 moved back to my home town, Used my web, messaging, apps & phone regularly & here i sit at 85% with a normal % decline, not chunks at a time. Just amazing. Edit: Anybody want my settings from aroma installer that i used with the kernel that use this rom & want to try them out, shoot me a message & i'll be happy to provide.
[HTC Sensation] Sharpi1:
Hey mate,

it's not included and there are no addons to add s2w. Sebastian said, that he won't include this feature in his Kernel.

I dont know why but I mean its cause of he don't know, if it burns battery a little bit.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Hey ya,....yes, it's only for Sebastians kernel. Dunno why, but to tell it with noob words it kind of resets kernel settings :)

Do you have EXT4 recovery installed ?

Is the MD5 sum of downloaded Roms correct?
[HTC Sensation] hpolimar:
rom are ok. battery is charged. only thing is that i've team win recovery project instead of ext4. i'll try this one

thank you
[HTC Sensation] dronepro:
I understand, and as a test, i have 2 stock batteries and i will run a test this Sunday to Monday and will let you know how long a stock battery should last. I am currently running my Anker 1900 at 1 day 2 hours and still have 28% battery left. Why don't you buy and Anker. I got mine from E-bay for $30 and it came with 2 batteries and a charging doc.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Thanks Prinz! Yeah I decided to try Sebastian and followed the wipe cache/dalvich, flash script, flash kernel instructions. Will see how it goes today since I only did this late last night so didn't get a chance to put my phone through it's paces.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

Ahh, yes that might be the culprit! EXT4 is required! I made that mistake when I came from ARHD too! Hope it works for you now! This is THE ROM to try!!!

Can i replace framework-res.apk with that from Blitz 2.0.0 to remove the JB animation?
[HTC Sensation] dronepro:
Here Ya Boys GO.

This is Elegancia Sense 4.0 v2.5.1, Rosie 5x6, SebastianFM v1.5 @ 1.728GHz.

This is with normal, every day use and for the work i do it's quite some use. This is what i would expect from a good ROM and a Good Kernel.

Antutu Benchmark for this ROm and Kernel is 6965 on first test.

CF-Bench is 12345,3481,7026

In conclusion. I am a happy camper.

What settings are you using on faux kernel?
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
It's 3.0.36-Bricked-3.0-v1.4﻿ like he wrote as first post under the video :)

I must agree that so far bricked is giving me max results on the new base. Faux and Seabstians are draining battery very quick.
[HTC Sensation] voltaje:
Thank you, when I watched the video and made my post there was no comments. He added that after my question ;)
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Happens sometimes, yes :)

And for the live wallpaper, just google a bit for raindrops lwp...
[HTC Sensation] jackyaway:
I compared the two files with beyond compare and the only difference was the anim folder. I flashed the rom (Blitz 2.5.0) with this "mod" and in these 12 hours is all fine.
[HTC Sensation] myTouchJosh:
The live wallpaper is called live ripples free.

Thanks for the likes on video.

I'm also getting best results with bricked kernel, as others did drain alot quicker
[HTC Sensation] chc31:
Thanks for that, unfortunately still a massive drain. I guess i'll wait for an update

I'm thinking of using the S3 launcher t o replace Sense, but i love the sense icons. Is there any way someone can supply me with the 4 icons on the nav bar (phone, mail, messages, camera) ? I'm in love with those 4 and i would love if i can use it on the launcher.

Please, anyone haha - they are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT :) For use on desktop visualizer on the SIII launcher

Thanks!

Is there any way to hide apps in the app draw on sense 4 v2.5.1?
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Think that is a feature of Sense 3.6. Stiil looking for it in Sense 4 :( But like I removed tons of apps during the flash I have one single page in app drawer

Grab it from here, Yaksman

1.) Go to recovery

2.) wipe cache & dalvik

3.) flash script and

4.) immediatly flash kernel

5.) reboot

that's it!
[HTC Sensation] chc31:
The Team Venom ROM has that, so its certainly possible and in the future for sense 4 :P

Once again, thank you! So can this now really help save my battery? The rom is perfect and fast, but when the battery drops 20% when playing a game for 10~ mins, plus 5~ mins standby, that really sucks
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Might be due to a mix of both Sense versions, don't know.
[HTC Sensation] chc31:
Would you happen to know how to get individual icons from this rom?
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
You mean the icons from notification bar?

Did you look into Elegancia themeing thread?
[HTC Sensation] chc31:
Yea, they have some custom icons, but i cannot find the ones included in the ROM. Even in the .zip, searched it all haha
[HTC Sensation] hpolimar:
after switching to EXT4 RECOVERY i've installed 2.5.1 successfully. very nice rom. i've only one question maybe stupid:

i've received some sms with sender name "SMS". does this rom put all sms service numbers (like bank alert) under same name "SMS" ??
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Which icons included in the rom?

All icons which are included in the rom will be shown :) if you don't tick stock look in aroma during flash. Few pages back I posted an external link to basic & colored notification bar icons

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

Nope, as far as I know not. Must be provider related. Did you played around with STK (SimToolKit)?

Seen, you're on TRE, those italians are al gangsters :) hehe
[HTC Sensation] chc31:
Im sorry - the navigation bar! Like the blue mail, camera and messages. Sorry! It's those icons im after, i always used them on my phone on the nav bar, THOSE are the ones i cant find. For the notification bar, i have plenty :P
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
Pls, can't follow you :)

Which icons? Those who are shon in the upper bar? Notifications?
[HTC Sensation] chc31:
Ok im sorry! The icons on the bottom of the screen (i thought they were called the navigation bar)

I would like the blue phone, message, mail & camera icons on the BOTTOM of the screen :)
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
so, the app icons? right?
[HTC Sensation] chc31:
yea, check the attachment :) Thanks for your patience so far!
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
You either need an icon pack or a tool called "desktop visualizer" (think that's its name) to change icons. But, I would recommend to switch to Elegancias theme thread for more....

Sorry, I can't help you out...I'm on the run now.....

[HTC Sensation] Marusaia:
Hi,

Is the 3.33 fw needed for the ROM with sense 4?

Thx .

Envoyé depuis mon HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] EdinM30:
Yes as long you use the bricked kernel 1.4 that is included in the rom, if you flash another kernel it will break it.

It is recommended but not mandatory, you can still use sense 4 with 3.32 firmware. If you're having signal issues dropped calls and things like that in your place try the 3.33 it comes with a new radio.

Hi Cat,

Welcome to the Sense4 world. I'm using it from day 1 and it's fab, especially with Steve's miracles.

Hope you will keep enjoying it and will stay almost bug free.

I'm not asking about the kernel you use cause the word "kernel" is coming out of my ears due to the enormous amounts of mails with same kind of questions asked over and over again (see it's bricked/ Faux) :laugh:

Just enjoy, have a nice day and be carefree 10neke

So since I said I would, just reporting back on my experience with SebastianFM. First off, VERY smooth performance. Noticeable difference in smoothness and response. Felt buttery smooth...

BUT...sometimes, my phone would freeze. Don't know why (couldn't replicate what apps made it freeze). Also, did notice the battery drain issue that others have reported.

So I'm back on Bricked because, although performance isn't quite a smooth, it feels a lot more stable and battery life feels like it lasts longer.

If I get brave, or more like bored, I might try Faux again with all default settings (last time I tried with Yank's defaults but they might be too aggressive).

Hope this helped someone! :o

Gotta say im loving changing all these weather icons to Red/Black, & possible Silver & Black. Looking pretty sweet so far. Just a little time consuming trying to find every .apk that has a weather icon to change. Plus i had to edit some to look a little different cause they didn't blend right. Just a couple more home screen icons to go. Im going to change the colors to make them look a nicer crisper red than what i tested out with. After this, on to the HTC Music then the Calendar, Not to mention 3d icons for every single menu, app drawer:cowboy: Figured more people that might like this would enjoy it in here, seeing not to many are stopping by the themes thread anymore.:(
[HTC Sensation] thunderbee22:
I tried that app...as i said in my previous comment, it hides the app from the app drawer and the home screen...i only want the app to hide from the app drawer...not the whole system. thanks though

for example...if i want the phone app on my dockbar...i dont want the phone app in the drawer as well...the CCSWE app hides the app from both...so the phone app would be hidden from the drawer...and the dockbar/homescreen. I hope that clarifies that better
[HTC Sensation] EdinM30:
Yea you forgot to mention yo tried that app already, i got it what you're trying to do but isn't possible with sense either you freeze an app which is hidden altogether or get 3rd party launcher like Launcher Pro then you cancustomize and hide apps in the app drawer

Echoing sIpInWiT, Faux 008b8 v5 is amazing (as always with Faux) and the comprehensive AROMA options are great. I am undervolting 125 mV and still may have room to go!!

Sebastian FM kernel was also solid for me, but I love intellidemand and the new custom settings of Faux. Happy flashing!
