For me, a 95% working AOSP ROM is better than a 100% working Sense ROM.

So I'm running CM7 as a daily. The battery life is good (At least a full day. 2 if I don't get a lot of calls on day 1)

It's smooth and speedy.

There are a few quirks though. I can't get wifi calling to work for some reason (though it apparently works for others in CM7) and I have 1 app that won't play properly.

Other than that....
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
Which app wont play?

Currently running HyperSensation, and it's absolutely perfect.. I love how minimalistic it is, I actually uninstalled more apps that I don't use. Videorecording Isn't that important to me, and and I don't think the aosp camera is THAT bad lol. I also underclocked to 1ghz, because it doesn't need to be higher Imo. I'm 100% happy with this until a mode stable ICS rom is available.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Full Screen Caller ID.

The app loads and I can adjust all the settings, but it won't overlay the full screen caller picture. Doesn't work in SelfKang's version or Hyper Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] LBN1:
Daily driver is RevertedASOP 1.2 (CM7 based) with Faux's latest kernel. Everything works well for me, and underclocked to around 1ghz it is way faster and smoother than my test ICS rom. More than a full day of battery life too.

Only thing kept me from using is the crappy Launcher Pro performance.
[HTC Sensation] shootind5nukes:
I'm only commenting because you asked. I love CM, but not any of the Sensation builds. I've tried several kernels to no avail. 4-5 times a day I'm removing my battery because of freezing. I've done clean installs and not even installed programs to see if my installed apps were the problems and I still had reboots. I'll wait for a stable version of CM9. My glacier(mytouch 4g) has 7.2 unofficial and it never reboots or freezes. I'm waiting for that kind of stability. Don't get me wrong though I absolutely love CM! Go devs!
[HTC Sensation] TheManMountain:
I have not liked the sensation build of cyanogen mod either. Lost of stuff that made it apparent to me that this was definitely not a priority to the cyanogen mod team. I am however anxiously waiting for the cm9 for the sensation :)

I feel ya however i havnt had a single reboot or freeze in the past month. Launcher pro performs just as good on cm7 sensation than on my previous devices. The only bug i have found is the video cam but that is expected. Thanks for your input. Cant wait for cm9 for the sensation.

I would use MIUI but the latest build has a wifi bug where it auto turns wifi on and eats the battery.

[HTC Sensation] shootind5nukes:
Well I don't mean to be a downer again but I have noticed sense about the 15 of last month we Sensation owners haven't heard anything new towards the advancement of CM9 for our device. Maybe it might be time for me to get a Nexus. Has anyone else here heard of anything at all about CM9 and Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
If u mean nexus s i just came from one. Awesome phones but they get boring really fast. Il sum it up for you. Nexus s runs cm7 perfect. It runs miui buttery smooth. The cm9 alpha roms suck. The ics official rom for the nexus is garbage. More power to ya for going with a nexus it just got boring for me fast. Plus the phone feels like a plastic toy compared to our sensations. Im sure good stuff will cone to the sensation.

[HTC Sensation] sshede:
The cm team is very quiet about updates in general, only a few devices actually have builds, many don't function too well. Hang in there though.
[HTC Sensation] shootind5nukes:
Well that's why I love HTC phones. The build quality. I've been through all the major roms and can't find a stable one. My friend also has the sensation and has the same problems. Even the stock rom needed rebooting........It wouldn't be the first HTC phone I bought that was junk. MyTouch 4G was very stable. Wonder how the 4G slide is........best of both worlds.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tyraelasd:
Just wanted to know if I install a new firmware ( Im currently running KS2 and I think there should be a newer one out there who offers better battery life or something) and after that something doesnt go as I expected, can I do a backup from recovery and restore the whole configuration that I was using including the firmware/baseband ( Im a little bit confused about this )

Thank you:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Yes

Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -SGA-:
Really? Whenever i tried to restore firmware via CWM4/5 it never works. Works great for all ext4 format ROM's though.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tyraelasd:
Ive got an ext4 partition and CM7 rom :), I guess I will try it
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
If you restore stock you need to flash stock recovery and wipe cache + factory reset

Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] eyp:
I did it with CWM 4.0.0.9. First of all I did a complete backup, then flashed a stock rom through ODIN. It didn't work as I expected so I restored the phone with the backup I did previously and now it is as before flashing.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SpaceCaker:
If you want to restore dtock rom from cwm

You need these things

Cf root

Ext4 manager

And then insall cf root

Convert system to ext4 then make backupp of stoc rom

And then you wont have problems with restoring stock roms from cwm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] holob:
So I have the tethering option on my account. This was working at one time (though I am not sure the last time it worked). I flashed over to the CM9 kang in the development section from stock (after wiping system/data/cache/dalvik cache) and noticed that it did not work. After this, I tried GummyNex, which also didn't work. So, I restored from my nandroid backup and it doesn't work from the stock rom anymore either. What gives?

I have tried on two different laptops, as well. It will reject the password about 75% of the time, and sometimes it will claim to connect, but will not get internet access.

Anyone have any ideas?

Return your phone. If its doing it on every rom it sounds like hardware. Just my thoughts.

Seems this is common and wanted to just centralize the discussion.

My power button one the right side feels jammed. Has anyone found a way to get the button nice and clicky like it was? I'm starting to fear it will quit working haha
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] live2die:
just change another one, mine has been changed since i dropped my phone and broke the power button.and it's universal, no need to use a "incredible 2" one.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mihneagabriel:
You're just gonna have to open the phone up.

When I dropped out my digitizer I noticed that the button has 2 "wings" that come off the side and hold the button onto the frame. I couldn't tell what they were made of but they were flexible which is probably what goes out or dust and pocket lint get under the button.

Where can we get another power button ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devinhfox:
I blame the lack of volume wake in ics for dinc2.

Mine has always been 'squishy, but with gb i had volume wake, so i never really used the button much.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
why can't you ahve volume wake on ics?

when I had my GNEX I was able to MOD that to have volume wake, has anyone tried to do volume wake MOD do you know.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ubuntunerd:
I don't think there is one yet and if there is I haven't seen it at least not for the inc2 running the new ics builds
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
I found one at repairuniverse.com
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mihneagabriel:
*repairsuniverse.com

and if you look at a picture of the power button, those things on the side is what keeps the power button "springy" sometimes dust gets in there and doesnt let the button go back up on one side or the clip breaks. etc
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Yeah my bad on the link lol. I may take the back off to save the current button. Being in the army my phone is around dirt and dust more than it should lol

@Knipp21

I was always stressing out about my phone's power button one day not working. But that website you told us about was a huge stress reliver. Especially because it has everything that could ever break in there.

For all you serial flashers what is the better ROM in your opinion? As im sure both are pretty smooth, which would have the better features? Does AOKP have an LTE toggle on the dropdown? Any other info would be much appreciated, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
AOKP doesn't have an LTE toggle I don't think, but CM9 has less features at present I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dp92180:
There is an LTE toggle
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheDave1022:
I will go back to CM9 once they get more features. AOKP is pretty good right now and sticking with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
AOKP has a LTE toggle.

AOKP > CM9 at the moment (in my own opinion) as CM9 is still in early development of incorporating all CM9 settings but as everyday passes by CM9 is looking nicer and nicer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuntdog:
AOKP is stable, fast, has some cool features, and uh, pink unicorns. It gets my recommendation for now.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lrakkarl:
Ok. I do not mean any offence to junghyun01.

However this is another method & the one that I personally use.

This requires: stock kernel & dual mode recovery (ClockWorkMod).

Some version of ClockWorkMod that come with custom kernels do not include the necessary options to format your sd-card.

To return to stock kernel on gingerbread or froyo, follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21238366&postcount=2

This is the easiest way to create sd-ext/2nd partition+swap partition on sdcard with our phones:

1: Backup all data from sdcard to computer *Important*.

2: Boot into ClockWorkMod by tapping touch-screen while on Sony Ericsson screen

WARNING: We will now delete all data on sdcard, that is why you made a backup.

3: Advanced => Partition SD Card => 512M or 1024M (depending how many apps you want to install & the size of your sdcard) => 0mb for swap size (or if using a custom kernel you can set a swap size of 128m) => Yes to format.

4:Power Off phone.

5:Remove sdcard and put into computer, put the files that you backed up to the computer back on the sdcard.

6:Insert sdcard back into phone and power on. Click thanks.:D

How to enable swap? Warning: This can & will shorten your sd-cards life. Read post #2!

(Swap will only work on a custom kernel!)

After flashing the rom of your choice, flash the add-on "x8EnableSwapPartition2.zip" in ClockWorkMod to enable swap or download ResetSwap from the market.

Credits:

junghyun01 go on give him a thanks for giving me the motivation to create this thread.

lrakkarl@xda(me): Flashable add-on zip, guide, time, information. Click thanks!

x8EnableSwapPartition2.zip=Swappiness set at 40%.

x8EnableSwapPartition.zip=Swappiness set at Android default 60% or whatever % your rom developer has set it at.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lrakkarl:
More Information: (

You don't really need to read this but if you are interested...

)

Stock Kernel?? Oh man...

I personally think it is worth it for all users to flash back to stock kernel & dual mode recovery. Why? Just so they can partition their sd-card like this, as sd-ext will be formatted in Ext4.

Ext4=Best speed/reliability overall. Why

would

you still be using ext2/3???

Why only 128mb swap size?

Because it is wasteful to create a larger swap partition. It

never gets used

. I have never seen 128mb's of swap used on our phone & that is even with heavy games/apps running in the background. You are just making your sd-card size smaller for no benefit.

Why not just use Swapper2 from the market with a swap(.swp) file?

Swapper2 is notorious for slowing down your phone as it likes to auto-start all the time also a swap file will not be as fast as a swap partition.

Will SWAP shorten SD-card lifespan???

Yes it undoubtedly will.

Will you be able to notice this in any way? Most probably not.

Using swap will cause intensive reading/writing in one region of the sd-card. All flash memory devices (including our NAND internal memory) have limited write cycles. Excessive reading/writing causes bad blocks on your sd-card. Some sd-cards have extremely poor write cycles, so they can & will burn out when using swap.

Some people believe it would take a full year or even longer of using swap to actually cause any noticeable effect on your sd-card. Even if it does cause bad blocks on you sd-card, when formatting your sd-card with most modern-day file systems, these blocks will be marked as bad blocks and they wont be used. This equals to an extremely slow decrease in total capacity of your sd-card (which will be close to unnoticeable) .

Having said all of that there has been reported cases where SD-Cards have burned out and stopped working almost directly after enabling swap. Coincidence? Who knows but...What you do & flash to your phone is your own decision & no one else is in any way responsible for what happens except you.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lrakkarl:
And another method if you need it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445543

Or guide with pictures:

You can create an ext partition on your sdcard in windows by downloading the newest Easeus Partition Manager Here or at their Homepage.

After installing the program use the guide found here:

but in mine there's only /dev/block/vold -> which is empty also

I don't know if my swap partition is load .

still there's /sys/dev/blok/179:3 which refer to mmcblk0p3

and on sys/block/mmcblk0

Swap allows you to run more apps/processes at any one time. The android operating system will still use all of your real ram too.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] gdeliana:
What about the swapping coefficient, in the script is not defined. This number is showed in procent and defines the ratio of swap partition being used by the system.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] RodrigoOgasawara:
One question,i using Reset Swap and everytime i reboot i need to go to app and activate swap again,thats normal?And if i flash the EnableSwap.zip?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] lrakkarl:
Uploaded new add-on & modified first post to answer your question.:)

(if no value specified then Android default setting is 60%)

Yes that is normal if using ResetSwap. This is because it never auto-starts by itself.

If you flash the add-on zip then swap will be auto enabled every boot.

The Transformer Prime has been out for almost a month now, yet Gameloft has not added a single supported game for us yet, even though the Prime is the most powerful Android device out now. Gameloft needs to break it's little agreement of favoring Apple and also needs to stop feuding with Asus.

It took Gameloft MONTHS to produce 4 measly games for the Asus Transformer TF101 and before that, owners had to do alternative methods of playing their games.

Until more Tegra 3 games come out, Gameloft games are the best we can get for now. Gameloft needs to get it's head out of it's arse and support our Primes. We should not have to scurry around to find an alternative method to play Gameloft games.

This is one of the only responses that we have received regarding Gameloft support on our Primes:

If you want Gameloft Games on your Asus Transformer Prime, we have to do something, SPAM their twitter and facebook accounts regarding support on our Primes, as well as their forums.
