5.5.0 is most stable for me. I turned off "force GPU rendering" and now the animations are smooth. This is my fallback rom when I need everything to work. 4G works perfectly fast, GPS pinpoints in less than a second, everything works as it should. Just the battery life, I don't know if my 5 month Anker battery is dying or it's the Rom/Kernel
[HTC Sensation] olly2009:
No lag for me with force gpu rendering turned on and the new adreno drivers.
[HTC Sensation] groovepeppy:
i only got the very quick pinpoint locking gps on Insertcoin Sense4 rom, with 5.50 it takes more than 45sec, hence baadnewz suggested me to install fasterfix, it still lock waaay longer than his Sense4

really want to have that in 5.50 :(
[HTC Sensation] gambarian:
Well, battery life is the most important thing. And what about the screensaver on lockscreen issues?
[HTC Sensation] Rankor Kain:
Unable to use custom wallpaper to lock screen. Says it assigns and sets but its the same, home screen wallpaper shows through :confused:

Other than that, smooth working and stable as stone :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
The lockscreen wallpaper thing is a known problem with the base. We just have to wait for HTC to fix it. :(
[HTC Sensation] gambarian:
Is there any way to know about the update by HTC? Are they working on something or they just decided to leave us with the latest RUU?
[HTC Sensation] dmeinder:

I think "[FINISHED]" fits better.....there's nothing left to do.....my 0.2

Cheers!

Baad, thanks for all the hard work with the rom. Going from 5.2 to 5.5 now, hoping it´s the last update before I switch to Sense 4.0.

Have fun with your sabbatical!
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
That's a pity. I just came back from Sense 4 ROM. It's not as fast, smooth or as complete as this, since it's a the Sense 4 PORT....

Ah well.

Here is the explanation for my decision

[HTC Sensation] papete:
Thanks

Thanks a lot for your great ROM's Baad, you deserve a rest!!

Given that you are stepping back for a while, I think a way to add something extremely useful to the community is by writing a guide.

There is a very good saying that goes: "don't give man a fish, teach him how to fish". You could give us a little guide on the speed/battery tweaks that you have introduced to the stock ROM over the years. I've always been attracted to the idea of cooking my own ROM, but my knowledge is very limited, and some guidance on the things a could tweak to speed things up - get better battery out of a stock ROM would be extremely helpful. That way I could cook something adapted to my taste in terms of performance-battery.

Again, thanks a lot for your ROM's and I hope your time off gives you the inspiration to bring us bigger and better things...

Best regards
[HTC Sensation] sniperde:
hi baad,

thank you very much for all the time, work and blood you have put into these incredible ROMs!

I wish you all the best for your future. You made a lot of people, including me, extremely happy, cause they were able to use the Sensation as it was intended/expected, so you can really be proud of you.

Thank you very very much :)

Thanks Baad for all you've done.

Anyway, I have a battery drain problem that I didn't have in previous version (maybe 5.2, i don't remember). I've installed with ondemand option (max freq 1720, the rest of freq default), zram and sweep2wake enabled with default options.

In battery statistics shows a great drain in screen but I don't know where is the source of the problem.
[HTC Sensation] rjeeva:

[HTC Sensation] kumprise:
I've tried to change settings in caption buttons, via tweeks, and they all work for me, on 5.4.0. If I remember correct, I full wiped, coming from Sense 4 I thought I should, and I flashed bricked 1.1 over it - no problems at all. It does ask for hot reboot to accept setting sometimes, but it works. Also, they do not work at all if there's enough light, it has been like that since Gingerbread on Insertcoin - saves battery.
[HTC Sensation] sideshow88:
im dev - istated that your leaving.. you will be missed.. good luck:)
[HTC Sensation] DaHorse:
Hi everybody...

First of all big thanks baad for awesome work.

Now down to business... I've upgraded my Sensation to this nice piece of software, and apart from whole bunch of goodies I noticed one, but significant downside - I have two bars less of signal. It's noticeable pretty much everywhere, especially where I used to have less signal, like work- I had 2 or 3 bars, now it's 1 or none at all.

I'm in U.K., on o2.

Did anyone have similar issues? Should I just juggle with radio's?

Sent from my head to your screen...
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
Check your radio and RIL files. This ROM has the 4.013 RIL built in I believe. Your radio may require the 4.017 RIL. Look in the Dev section for the radio thread and follow instructions :-)
[HTC Sensation] DaHorse:
I had a feeling, that I'll get an answer like this... ;-)

I hate fiddling with this- had to play with radio once and hoped not to do this ever again, but no pain-no gain, I guess... :-)

Thanks, off to educate myself now..

[HTC Sensation] Eradico:
Too bad its finished. Good luck.

But I still have a question. Is there anyway to increase brightness of screen. I have it on max but its very very poor visibility during day light outside. Can't see almost nothing. Official ics for sensation have great visibility.

Please someone give me some tip.
[HTC Sensation] lbtc777:
Thanks for your hard work Baad. Enjoy your time off, relax, and spend time with the wife. I agree that sometimes we just need to step away from our work and hobies. Wish you the best.

And this time there's. nothing to do news in this Rom, because there was no coming news from HTC.

How about one last version using the new and improved TMobile ics update?
[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
I believe baad will do it, just have patience :)... There are things that he needs to do first that are more important.... life first, rom later... At this moment, this rom is awesomeness... Im not hearing complains from my wife, that shows the rom is just perfect hehehehe....
[HTC Sensation] bosslabs:
Hope baad will update to the latest t-mobile 3.32.531.14 , it seems it is the greatest stock HTC ICS release till date.

the only problem i have with this rom is the headset control button doesn't work anymore. but i really do like the smoothness and battery life in this rom.

Do you think htc will give us sense 4 for sensation??

Or will we be forget with only one major update since phone came out??
[HTC Sensation] eterno13:
I don't think so.I they do they will loose money on sales of new phones....
[HTC Sensation] mama_mia:
I've moved from Sony Ericsson to HTC thinking i'll get better support but they are all the same...

A 500€ phone with a year life regarding updates...this is really bad.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
There have been rumours that a so called 'lite' version of sense 4 will be released.

I think this is probably the case as the sensation was HTC's main flagship of last year, seeing as the ONE line are the only phones to be released by htc this year they should have more time to develop updates for current handsets. In theory anyways...
[HTC Sensation] mama_mia:
We deserve at least the lite version...

Anyway I think sensation is enough for sense 4 "complete" version.

AFAIK, One S is not that much better than Sensation!
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Exactly, so why would HTC release an update for it then? It's marketing. They need to keep their newer phones better than older ones otherwise nobody would want them.
[HTC Sensation] gambarian:
Anyone knows what is the changelog in latest t-mobile OTA? Did they fix all the bugs?
[HTC Sensation] mama_mia:
HTC states that sense 4 it too heavy to Sensation, that's why I said that!!
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
I'll have to disagree with you. The ONE S is much better than the sensation. The snapdragon S4 (that comes with the ONE S) beats the Quad Core Exynos 4412 in some benchmarks and it is slightly behind the Exynos overall! Our Snapdragon S3 got destroyed last year from the dual core previous gen exynos. So if you add the 1gig of ram the ONE S is much better than the Sensation BUT this doesn't give an excuse to HTC! Sense 4.0 is supposed to be a stripped down version of sense. So if the sensation can run Sense 3.6 ( heaviest skin ever created :eek: ) smoothly ( IC 5.50 is the best example ) then it can run Sense 4.0. This is one of the reasons i'm buying my first Samsung device this year. :mad:
[HTC Sensation] paranull:
yea , he has just updated his One x rom :D good news for us (sensation users) :) we are not alone
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
yes good news for sensation users. now we only need a new base (the T-mo doesn't fancy me, although some people will think is had bugfixes and such . it doesn't .. is the same base (3.32) with some customization for tmo
[HTC Sensation] kolokoy:
Bad is back! Hail baad!!

Nice one Baad!!! Glad to hear you're back!

Lets hope HTC release Sense 4.0 Lite soon for our Sensations!

can i fix this somehow ??

[HTC Sensation] kairanz:
do you guys know how to make the font smaller? in sense 4 there is an option to do so.

i like smaller fonts more
[HTC Sensation] mama_mia:
I think there's a script made from "vladnosferatu" to do that, try to do a little search and you'll find it.
[HTC Sensation] kairanz:
only if the search feature was here, i can grab that fast.

could you pinpoint me to the script please? thanks

forget it i've found it here

BTW thanks mama_mia
[HTC Sensation] paranull:
who cares about new base as long as you support our sensation devices :) ? I'm pretty satisfied at the moment with the latest IC 5.5.0 ;)

thanks again baad <3
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
Slightly untrue..the lockscreen wallpaper can now be set..but other than that no real changes...maybe u can just update WiFi calling and fix the lockscreen issue instead of baking a whole rom :D
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
The new tmobus base isn't anything fancy it seems, mainly the wifi calling app now works and you can get that in the separate thread

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1654940).

You can get any of the ICS radios and rils from the radio thread, so there isn't any other reason I can see for this to be updated.

Hi chaps, I have an odd problem (or an obvious one... :rolleyes: ).

I have upgraded to this ROM a few days ago, and since than I try to opitise the phone, as you do... Yesterday I think I've gone a bit too far and lost some bits od app data. It's only a game (Reckless Racing 2) but still, annoying.

I have gone into Settings>>Develop Option>>Don't keep activities and ticked it, what proved to be stuuupid. Basically, what this did, was causing Sense to restart every time I closed an app. I thought It would just kill background apps, so battery would last longer, me naive...

Unfortunately I realised that a bit too late, I played RR2 in the meantime, and when I finished all the game data vaporised - this has hurt my feelings slightly, considering that I completed everything there was apart from one, last event.

The question is - is here a genius that would have an idea how could I get these data back?
[HTC Sensation] kolokoy:
I doubt it.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Do you still have a backup of the game from when you installed the ROM?
[HTC Sensation] anko184:

[HTC Sensation] RucaNebas:

[HTC Sensation] beston94:
It seems to me that the rom on version 5.0.2 is a lot faster and smoother than on 5.5.0? For example, rosie lags when I flip around the homescreen. Keep in mind I'm using that rosie ultra smooth that only shows one animation and not the next. Also when I click settings then it takes 5 seconds to show up.

Any idea?
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
I think it's normal behavior. I've been using this rom with bricked kernel for about 2 weeks now and its the same.

Hi baadnewz thank you for all your works! I know you are busy with many project (Sense 4 for Sensation included), but if you could take a look at 3.32.401.105_R2 to see if there are significant changes that can justify a new rom, i think many people will appreciate this. In any case we are very happy for your return. Thank you, bye! ;)
[HTC Sensation] Pard0ned:
Umm. It's not. Baad has sensation sense 4, and Insertcoin 5.5.0 in the Sensation section.

When you go to his website, the first thing you see is the news feed - about the new updates, all of them. It was your fault that you didn't read it properly and tried to flash something that wasn't meant for you phone.

Now, who's ignorant and can't read?

Nobody got smart.

You should probably get off your high horse now.

Don't wanna give you hopes but if I find the time ill rebase the rom. I'm still hoping for a new base not same one named Rx
[HTC Sensation] lallolu:
I was using the latest insertcoin 5.5.0 but I think it uses more battery. Battery stays on 100 for quite a while giving the illusion of good battery life, but when it gets to 98, it starts draining very quickly. Maybe this is just me...

One very nice tweak I just discovered is how to unnlock the phone with the capacitive keys. Just draw your finger to the right; from the home button to the search button... and back to the home button.

I really appreciate this becasue this will enable my volume and power button to last longer.

I want to use my sensation for a very long time as I believe its technology is still very up to date.

Thanks and good job Baad. Pls do not feel insulted by my battery observation. I know you get easily pissed many time

I am encountering a strange behaviour with Wifi.

Sometimes, when I turn it on, the wifi is off although the extended sttings are set to never have Wifi inactive. It takes some seconds (around the time it usually takes to discover the wifi) and it connects again. While not being connected the phone is making use of 3G data.

And now the strange thing: This only happens at night (past 23:30 usually) when the phone hasn't been touched for a while and on 3 different Wifi networks (different routers/ISPs/locations)

Anyone else can confirm this?

Is due to damn htc smart sync.
