I have another question, I flashed cwm 5.0.0.8 using rom manager. I came from 5.0.2.0 cwm which is the latest.

My recovery turned back to cwm when I checked on hboot. its no longer touch recovery. Is it safe if i reflash the touch recovery?

Thank you.

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Totally safe. Also you must uninstall Rom manager to prevent cwm recovery to be installed again. Install instead 4ext recovery updater (free) or 4ext recovery control (paid, but is worth it) from http://4ext.net/

I'm confused as to which firmware I need to download.

Is it the one that says 'Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU'?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Yes, that's the one as stated in the guide

EDIT: i just noticed i've thanked your previous post. What makes 50% of your posts thanked, nice ratio :D
[HTC Sensation] rezochika:
thank you, it helped me :)
[HTC Sensation] ardom:
I heard about zram what does it exactly do? And is it safe to flash with arhd 6.5.2 stock kernel with supercharger tweaks?

Based from what I read ,zram speeds up application start up. Or maybe i misunderstood what i read.

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] ardom:
I installed zram. Checked on terminal and its working. But i wonder if its gonna free itself if it reaches its limit? or i wonder what is happening exactly :) curious noob question.

Btw joaquinf, I also installed supersmooth rosie, other than it removes 3d effect on the widgets when switching screen, what are the other things that I have gone unnoticed? :) my phone is snappier than ever now. Seb kernel 1.30.2 at 1.5ghz, supersmooth rosie, zram on boot, hq camera, supercharger tweak

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Supersmooth rosie gives a really good performance boost. As far as i know it only flatten sense widgets, nothing else. The most sense widgets you have, the more you will notice the mod.

Im not sure about the zram dump, you better ask sebastian or faux. They can provide a better answer

[HTC Sensation] michaelm713:
Hi all.

This is my very first post here so please go easy.

Followed the guide yesterday and everything went brilliant.

As a newbie though I do have a few silly questions. I assume it is safe to delete the superwipe script and the actual rom from the sd card?

I also noticed a lag on my XE. I read elsewhere that after a flashing a factory reset can help. Is this advisable?

Market downloads appear extremely slow too. I am on wifi but still 10min for a kindle update?

Can we use rom manager now? It asks to flash clockworkmod recovery but I am aware 4xte is already installed. Is it safe? Rome manager does look appealing if I wanted to use it for other roms.

Apologies for the newbie questions.

And once again, thanks for the brilliant software.

Michael
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
yes , it is safe to delete the superwipe script and the actual rom from the sd card

you can use rom manager for every thing except flashing the CWM recovery , i always install it myself , it will not afffect 4EXT

factory reset will not do any harm except you will have to install app again and could fix the problem

But its better first to try this , some members reported that after a week or two ARHD started to slow down , and they cleared cache and dalvik and that solved it
[HTC Sensation] michaelm713:
Thanks for the response

Being a newbie, rom manager does not let me do anything unless I flash the CWM Recovery. How do I manually do it? Surely that will affect 4ext? Can you have more than one recovery installed?

And if I do that will I be able to get updates for AHRD through the rom manager?

Thanks for your help.

Michael
[HTC Sensation] mohameddegheidy:
Thank you so much for the Guide , It is the best ever :)

Everything now is smooth for me and I flashed ARHD 6.5.2 coming from 4.1.13,

I Flashed the stock kernel but Games like Where's my water are slower than before , I dont know if it is a kernel issue or an Ics issue , anyway I will be trying 6.5.3 and provide you with feedback,

Another thing I noticed is that the phone randomly Vibrates at fixed times in the day with no notifications ..! Also i noticed that when the phone vibrates it is turned to silent , I noticed other people stating that in the ARHD Thread , I did a super wipe again and the problem is still there ,

Otherwise Great Rom , Thank you all for your contribution :)

Just flashed the newest Sebastian kernel and the games are still slower than the previous Rom , maybe they are not optimised for ICS yet , Sorry for posting here but I cant post in the ARHD thread now , All of your work is highly Aprreciated :)
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
If you want to keep 4ext get rid of rom manager, its useless without cmw recovery, install 4ext recovery updater (free) or 4ext recovery control (its totally worth the money, you wont regret) instead.

You cant have more than one recovery and if you flash cmw will overwrite 4ext. 4ext is the default arhd recovery, so everytime you flash arhd it will install 4ext automatically. Also, OTA updates for arhd arent available, you'll need to check up on the thread constantly to get the updates.

Take the leap, 4ext recovery is the best recovery out there just give it a chance, and recovery control paid app 100% recommended. Grab the link in my signature
[HTC Sensation] michaelm713:
Thanks

I actually already paid for the 4ext recovery control. Have not plaid with it much yet. Hoping to come across a video or tutorial on how to use it. A lot to learn this weekend me thinks. Any tips for 4ext?

Another question. Before the flashing of ARHD I had a bunch of applications on my sdcard through the movetosd feature. I also made a nandroid backup during rooting and another with 4ext I think. I then installed titanium pro made another backup and then flashed. Once in the new rom I then moved all the applications back to sd as rightly or wrongly titanium put them all back on the main memory.

Am I having a few backups too many perhaps?

Now that I am rooted and super cid'd does that mean next time, I just need the zip/rom and ready to flash?

Thanks again for all the help.

Michael
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
You are probably right when saying that games aren't optimized for ics yet. I've tried more complex 3d games like shadowgun and mc3 and i haven't had any lag whatsoever.

I've read about the vibration issues for no particular reason but i haven't experienced this behavior, so i can't help much there. If you see someone else having the same issue just send a pm and ask him about it.

Thanks for you kind words
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
My only advice for 4ext is explore the options and you'll discover many useful features. The one i use the most is select the files to flash without rebooting into recovery first and let 4ext do his magic :D also useful to wipe cache+dalvik

Regarding the backups, keep the "while rooting" backup, this will give you the most close-to-stock backup. I always keep a NANDROID backup of my current ROM and a titanium backup of my apps. There is no need to have more than that.

Unless is stated to flash a new firmware you just need to put the .zip file of the ROM and flash it.

EDIT: also, if someone have helped you or gave you useful info press the thanks button at the bottom right of the post :D
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Thread updated to the latest ARHD 6.5.3 release :D
[HTC Sensation] michaelm713:
Great news. And cheers for the response earlier. Does this mean then I can just download6.5.3 and use 4xte to install from zip? No need for super wipe, firmware etc?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Yes, just download the file, put it in your sd card, check md5 and flash it over! No superwipe or firmware needed this time.
[HTC Sensation] grumpyload:
JOAQINF - I can't thank you enough for getting me thru this process. ICS is running and it looks nice. It it wasn't for you, I'd still be boot-looping.

what exactly has been changed in 6.5.4 regarding the WiFi turning on problem?

I'm asking because the ZIP package that Mike has posted did not fix the problem (for me).

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
help me!!!

i got my sensation 4g yesterday

did s-off,clockworkmode recovery installed,perm root acquired and supercid is 11111111

now i tried to install this amazing rom following the guide...but got struck while flashing the rom

i did upgraded my firmware....which corresponds to 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU

i did super wipe but when installing rom im failing during the initial stages itself

the error is happening when Formatting Partition

with status 1

and the installation aborted pops up

I did verify the md5 checksums and they are matching

dont know where im screwing it up :confused:

EDIT: btw i have clockwork touch recovery rather than 4ext touch will that cause a problem?

EDIT2: Ohh well the recovery turned out to be the culprit ....flashed 4ext touch recovery then installation went smooth as silk
[HTC Sensation] michaelm713:
Hi all.

Flashed 6.5.4 on the way into work today and all went really well as always. Have not been having any issues and I am really enjoying this new found rooted freeedom.

I have one question though: Up to know i have been reluctant to flash the moded kernel by sebastian. I run a Sensation XE and the dual core 1.5Ghz suits me fine. I always flash the stock kernel, partly for fear of battery drain and partly for fear of getting issues that others are having.

Would you say Sebastian's kernel is reasonably safe for the XE?

Also...I use the iPhone Folders widget but at every flash i loose the configuration. Is there any way to maintain the widget configuration? I do run ADW EX launcher too.

Cheers

Michael
[HTC Sensation] voyagertm:
Hi all,

This guide was very usefull for me a few weeks ago to flash mine :)

I might be still a noob but a fast learner tho.

Just soem feedback, this was very helpfull

Greetz
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Hi. Sebastian kernel 1.30.2 is his most stable kernel in my opinion, great batt life and great performance. You will get a better experience if you flash a custom kernel it is totally safe (unless you underclock, >1.8 GHz,or undervolt too much, that might become unstable). You can give a try at sebastian one or faux, whichever you want.

I don't know about ADW launcher (i remember using it in my hd2 back in the days:D) but if you upgrade ROM without superwipe (when possible) you don't lose your configuration, settings or layout. Also, there is an option in ADW to make backup of that info
[HTC Sensation] michaelm713:
Thanks!

Seems like there is a new version every week so I'll wait for the next one to try the custom kernel as I installed the new version only this morning.

ADW Launcher does indeed keep all the settings. It is the iPhone Style folders that they dont...perhaps i need to find an alternative...

Come to think of it my other widgets did not laod either and i had to reset them (Droid Stats, Power Widget)

I have been doing some reading as well on other mods. How do we flash the advance power menu? Is it just a case of damp the zip file to the SD card and use 4Ext to install?

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Flash sebastian 1.30.2 in the meantime, for me is the best/most stable and batt friendly kernel yet.

Mods are installed same way as a ROM, you are right. Be careful when flashing more than one mod, they can be incompatible and can break each other as they use the same framework files. Keep a nandroid backup just in case and if you need to uninstall your mods you need either reflash the ROM without superwipe or use specific mod remover if available.

Hi

I flashed 6.5.5. this morning with Sebastian's kernel. At the same time i loaded LeeDroid's tweaks on my XE. All went well and works well.

However, I keep getting an error with my dropbox application.It just keeps coming up with a message saying 'Dropbox Application has stopped'

Apologies but being a new member I could not post this to the development thread.

Any ideas? Have not tried the obvious yet, i.e. uninstall and install. Could this be related to the current Play Store bug reported [URL="http://www.talkandroid.com/102937-widespread-google-play-store-glitch-causing-apps-to-disappear-literally]elsewhere[/URL]?

Thanks

Michael

Update: Weird, I cleared all appication cache via titanium pro, fired up dropbox and it looked like it was coming up for the first time and it worked just fine. Seconds later, i get an email giving me 3GB of space...I already had 3.5GB plus 23GB via the developer version and now i just got another 3GB. All this for free!

Have you read the OP? Flashing the ROM is the final part, you need to update the firmware and 4ext recovery touch and THEN you can flash the ROM. Also, superCID is not required. Please read the guide

I updated my firmware to 3.24 but forgotten to install the 4EXT_Recovery_Touch apk for my phone(method2)....as i only download the 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.4_RC3_flashing_tool at computer(method1)...

NOw i'm stucked...i dont hv the 4EXT　to flash the rom while not able to boot my current 3.2.4

can some expert help me.....please.....

I only see clockworkmod when selected recovery in Hboot firmware..

help
[HTC Sensation] Locheed:
I wonder why did You flash firmware 3.24 when latest roms mostly use 3.32?

If You can access bootloader with Your pc, You can use that 4EXT flashing tool to push 4EXT Recovery Touch to Your phone. If not then flash ROM with CWM (it works nicely, but You don't have options to chose what You want to flash.) and then install 4EXT Recovery Touch.

If wanted to flash ARHD 6.5.5 ROM then flashing twice will also work, because first flashing will install 4EXT Recovery Touch to Your phone and second flashing will use 4EXT Recovery Touch for flashing.

Rooting from stock ICS

I have just bought my sensation, and updated to the latest stock ICS. Can I just follow the procedure anyway, or are there some traps when I am not at Gingerbread? Sorry if this has already been answered.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
Usually flashing ARHD 6.5 is for S-OFF devices

you should of done S-OFF before updating to ICS , revolutionary don't support hboot 1.27 yet

if you want S-OFF , then watch for this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522351 for a new method to S-OFF ICS devices as they say , wait for their beta and decide for yourself

anyway , there is a method to flash ARHD on S-ON devices if you want to do it until S-OFF method for your case is issued

for flash ARHD on S-ON , follow the title "Flash custom roms " in my Post [FONT=&quot]here , Basically it uses htc dev to unlock bootloader and instal custom rom and flash the boot.img for the saame rom through fastboot[/FONT]

Nice Guide :)
[HTC Sensation] henrylar:
Thank you very much, trkaa, it was an extremely helpful answer, and difficult to find elsewhere. I hope others will find your answer as well, because there is a lot of crap out there about this. I have now been reading a lot, and I see what you mean - I should have s-off'ed it before I accepted the upgrade. So now I have to wait for the new S-OFF method, that will hopefully come. Just one more question: I cannot really understand what options I have and what problems I run into if I go for your third option, flashing ARHD on S-ON. I can see all the problems with the HTC dev unlock, and I am not sure that I will go that route. What I am unsure about is, can I install ARHD 6.6 and/ or the gingerbread editions as I like after htc dev unlock, or should I expect a variety of problems? Maybe no one can really tell the problems I might run into with hboot 1.27000 yet?
