Same with me. I tried the version with S2W and the one without S2W but still not booting. Kind of disappointed. Was really looking forward to this kernel. Oh well, back to bricked.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Same here, looks like rsl5 doesn't work with this?? I'm going back to 4d:(
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Maybe ask the dev what about the build would stop his kernel from booting? Just a thought. Might be able to fix it yourself to use his kernel???
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
As far as I understand his 4d is compatible with our Sensation
[HTC Sensation] lightninbug:
Yup I'm currently on 4c....wonder why the new rls 5 is not booting for us...its booting on the arhd releases....maybe something to do with bricked kernel?

Steve did u check my new colormod update? One of the best IMHO..:D
[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
Could you take a look onto the beats audio + Viber issue? Waiting to help here :) Maybe it's nothing or maybe it's that with Viber it goes to the real beats :S

Thanks this is breaking my mind
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
I don't really understand the real beats you have described + I don't want to break my head on something really too specific, looks like a non issue to me :-)

[HTC Sensation] MuertoKo:
I'm just waiting for someone else to report, but the sound is way better after the "issue" than before. Tomorrow I'll search around xda the post where some people report this too (I think it was on ARHD btw). If it's not something specific it could be the equalizer workin as it is intended to!
[HTC Sensation] johnson8cyl:
Finally got to flash 3.0.0 and loving it. Lb's new theme is rockin as well. Thanks for all your hard work on this tmous project steve. More will come soon.

[HTC Sensation] XDeviateX:
It's only been a couple of days of testing the kernel, but Anthrax 4b (non s2w) reminds me of faux123 v003 on ARHD 6.6.2 (battery and performance wise, which is excellent). So for those interested in trying a stable version of Anthrax, use that one with Elegancia 3.0, unless you want s2w then use 4d. I will still probably end up testing faux123 v003 on this Rom for curiosity, but Anthrax4b is probably what I will end up sticking with because of the beats enhancement.
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Thanks johnson8cyl, this is much appreciated :)
[HTC Sensation] hdjx20:
someone help me choose between this and arhd cant decide which is better
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Well, if you like having to flash a bunch of extra bits and pieces go with arhd. If you want a rom that has everything ready to go, works fantastic and has no issues choose this.
[HTC Sensation] XDeviateX:
I've used ARHD versions of GB and ICS builds before this and while they are very good, my impression of Elegancia so far is, that it is better supported (developer is more active) and it runs better/smoother than ARHD (no bugs), where as it seems you have to wait weeks before a new release on ARHD to fix a problem.

But as someone else said the truth is in testing and deciding for yourself.

For me Elegancia is the superior Rom at this time.
[HTC Sensation] Lionhardt:
I don't understand why so many people have a fetish for ARHD... Many roms are better, with this one leading the charge_
[HTC Sensation] Mr3G:
Not sure if this is an issue, but I flashed this ROM and my wifi nor does wifi hotspot work? Not new to flashing roms but haven't done so in a while. Followed directions with flashing firmware 3.32.531.14, using EXT4 recovery, used super wipe and flashed rom. Everything works perfect, but the issues with wifi and hotspot. Drop down menu says error with wifi and wifi hotspot? Will not turn on at all? Any help is appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] dajogejr:
Try reflashing the ROM... Both work just fine for me, did the same thing....

I would double check the MD5 for your download as well.
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Are you S-Off ?

If yes, it works as it should, reflash the Rom maybe after another super/full wipe

If you are only HTC unlocked, you will need to S-OFF you device too
[HTC Sensation] WarlockW:
Also Try: re-setting your router / power off

Had the same thing this fixed it for me.
[HTC Sensation] guntcent:
hey Steve,

Which takecontrol mod did you use? Because it just released today V2. just curious because I want to install it thats why.
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Hi guntcent, none of them installed as I don't think our Rom needs that, but you can try and report back you findings if you wish :)

Thanks for the quick response will do :) guna try out the battery saver first.
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
Anthrax kernel

Lads whoever have problem with booting due to anthrax kernel 5, would you be so kind and just verify for md5sum of the kernel that you have (the one with s2w) and from where you download it.

I am bit confused, as i do not have any issue with kernel whatsoever....

The kernel that i use have

CRC32: 86304985

MD5: 6F03278AC1C10AD79FA32119E1612120

SHA-1: FE9F4023DA7B1C5E3E684CDB38451654C3C66443

the file is uploaded to Lucky 13 mirror, by kind and supportive Marc better known Lucky :) HERE

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

Sure, i'll help you if you dont mind :)

1. Flash Elegancia of your choice... set up phone as you prefer.....back up phone

2. Flash ARHD ...set up phone...back up phone

now let the testing begin....

What are you looking for

Stable rom ...... both are

Fast rom.......... both are (which one is faster...... there is no objective opinion)

Beats over BT....Elegancia YES ARHD NO

Themes.............Elegancia is synonymous for good themed rom(Seriusly Crazy is the man)

Friendly advice in thread .......You tell me :)

So do your own check list and decide for yourself whitch rom to keep (the one that that makes you happy), either way you will have outstanding ROM....
[HTC Sensation] bofiana:
I just downloaded the rls5 kernel from your source, made sure md5s matched, flashed the kernel and my phone is in continuous bootloop as we speak. Thanks for trying though.
[HTC Sensation] wildcontigo:
Just tried the dropbox link that Chad posted in infectedrom for the one without s2w, and yeah...bootloops
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Dublinz,

I downloaded from the infected forum and checked my download using your md5 and it matches, but I too get the continuous bootloop. I wonder if it has to do with lightningbug's theme, as I am pretty sure there is nothing in the rom itself that causes incompatibility.
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
v003? I've only used Faux123's kernels since the beginning of this year...I think it was v006 when I started. Where's the thread or website for v003? (I think 006 and 007 can only be found at RootzWiki, I could be wrong)
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
All Faux123 kernels are HERE

The kernels that are suitable for Sense are starting like Pyramid-ICS-sense
[HTC Sensation] kypeth:
I actually had the bootloops occur without having LB's theme installed
[HTC Sensation] KingP1n:
Same here, doubted it has to do with LBs theme...
[HTC Sensation] bofiana:
Ya, and just for the hell of it, I did a fresh install of the ROM followed by flashing the rls5 kernel and nothing else. And still no luck. Just continuous bootloops. Bummer.
[HTC Sensation] XDeviateX:
Yea faux put out alot of kernel versions in the month of April, jumped from 003 to 006 in no time. 003 just happened to be the latest when ARHD 6.6.2 was released early on in April. I stuck with that version Rom and Kernel, because it was stable and excellent on battery life/performance. Latest and greatest isn't always the case as you know, so I tend to let others be the guinea pigs and stay on what is working for me. Plus if you read his release notes, he was implementing a lot of new features after 003, and based on the feed back in the forums they all had issues of some sort.

Speaking of kernels as of about right now I am on 34 hours battery with Elegancia 3.0/anthrax 4b and I have 31% left, will try and post a screenshot later. With this kind of performance/battery life I am not even going to waste time trying faux123 v003 now. This combination is performing very well, pretty satisfied for what I do with my phone. It has been solid, no problems/bugs noticed and the audio sounds excellent to me via Poweramp(what I use for music). Will be flashing my wife's sensation to this setup as well.
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Tried bricked, was awesome at first with fast speed and clean use. However started having odd freezes with apps, and then fb app stopped working and finally system got slow and would all but freeze up.

So guys i will try and find anthrax. Darn as i liked the swipe option with bricked.
[HTC Sensation] XDeviateX:
Anthrax 4c and 4d have swipe 2 wake if you like that feature
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
What one should i use?, and where? Thank you
[HTC Sensation] XDeviateX:
Check back a few pages or search this thread for "Lucky 13" he posted a link to download from his mirror several times for the Anthrax Kernals, 4D was the last of the release 4 version that has swipe 2 wake, so I would probably try that one. The release logs have also been linked several times in this thread if you want to read them for the difference.
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Damm, Thanks for trying but I went to that other forum where Pyramid is and found there kernel links. Seems He is so concerned with disclosures that his forum thread is almost impossible to use or navigate. I found the 4b that Dublin posted link for here. I had no luck finding his "4d" in his kernel thread. Ugg:confused: on his forum.

Edit, So thru the maze that is his forum> Found the kernel download. However he only has latest release 5 there. None of the 4x ones.

[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Just for kicks, I downloaded anthrax kernel #5 from lucky13's post. Works fine for me. I had faux's kernel and then Just flashed anthrax over it. It has swp2w Maybe anthrax doesn't agree a with the ROM if you flash it over stock or sebastian's kernel? Who knows, but I thought I'd just like to help troubleshoot. Hope this helps. I do not have LB'S theme installed.
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Thanks to both of you for your fast response. I have a question, if in reading his changelog version 4d ( I want as I like Swipe feature) is listed as newest before v5. How come it says its two months old vs 4b that does not have swipe but says its newer? Maybe I am wrong?

Also, Lucky you say you like Bricked 3.0.0 vs newest one. I had some issues with new one but loved it for awhile. What if any is lost by using the one older version you love so well?
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Kernels?

Sorry guys I'm new to the whole kernel thing...

Is there a primer on how the different kernels works and pro/cons for each of the more popular ones? I've always just used whatever was included in each individual ROM since my thought process is that whoever made the ROM would know what works best with their own. Otherwise if there was something better, they would've used that. Am I wrong?

I'd love to learn more!

Thanks in advance!!!
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
I figured I'd post a screenshot in case I got the wrong kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Your banner is hurting our eyes... !! :p

First, kernel is not an exact science, kernel is dependent on how and with which parts your device is built. Every device are effectively very different in quality built. There is not much we can do about it. For that matter, it's not always the latest version the best. On my phone AnthraX is very good but not as much as Bricked 3.0 v1.0. My phone can't handle Faux123's kernels, rarely more than 8 hours of charge with, let say, my usual usage.

Some kernels are built for performance and benchmark, when others are more friendly with battery performance. If you are a gamer you'll sacrifice a tad on battery efficiency for faster cpu/gpu. Others, like me, don't game and are willing to sacrifice a tad in performance for longer battery life. That's why what is good for me will probably not for you, because our need are not identical.

Sebastian, Show, Faux, AnthraX and all others are very talented and they all offering top notch product, but in the end the results is what your phone is capable of and what is your main usage. Once you will find the right one for you, it's not because it is necessarily better then others, but because it will better suit your needs.
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
You are fine....that is Anthrax 5 :)
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
Curious...

I've started around 006, as I said, and one of them (I wish I could remember) had INCREDIBLE battery life. It was, and I know it sounds impossible, maybe 30% or better than normal. Right now on 007b3 it seems very very close to what I experienced before with 006, I may not even want to try 007b4 (I guess I can go back to 007b3 if anything) because it is that good right now.

What made you choose 003 over 004, 5, 6 and the latest 7s?! :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Mr3G:
Yes, I am HTC unlocked with s-on. MD5 checks perfect. I've reflashed this ROM several times with superwipe and still have no luck. Can anybody recommend a good method of getting S-Off, hopefully something that doesn't involve a wire trick? Should I revert to a GB rom and start this process again?
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
Patch?!

I wonder if there is a zipped flashable patch to add Swipe 2 Wake onto any rom? Hmm...
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
Currently just wire trick can S-OFF your phone if you are on ICS :( It would be grate if there is a way to revert to GB ....but so far no way mate :(
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Did you use the 4EXT SmartFlash prior flashing the ROM? (It's in the Tools menu of 4EXT)

Try this, it should do the trick for you.
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
4c and 4d and 5 have swipe to wake.... there is 5 without s2w but it is clearly marked as such :) (pyramid_ics-rls5-no_s2w)

Hope it helps
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
Popping kernels...!

Yeah, like I said this friggin Rom is just that friggin good that we're checking out different kernels and such to see how much more performance we can tweak out...heh, but as some others have posted before, it all really depends on what you basically do with your phone.

I think the best thing to compare to (at least so I can understand :p) is comparing to TIRES. Some tires are better in the rain, some in dry weather, some for snow, and some for off-roading.

Well, same for you phone (or the usage of), do you game a lot? Just use for basic calls, texts and such? Lots of wifi + gps + surfing? etc etc etc...

Well, the kernels can be sorta matched up to how you use your phone and then give you the better performance/battery life that you need for

your

particular usage.

Because one person says "XXX kernel IS THE BEST" does NOT mean it's the best for you or for me.

For me as example: I am using the one in my sig, since 7am this morn till 8pm (over 13 hours) I still have 55% and I surf a lot, text, have my wifi on all the time BUT I use a Wifi Auto Toggler (which saves me the hassle of toggling on and off)...and I game about 1 hour per day (on my breaks;)) so for

ME

, I can't seem to find a better kernel yet.

Well almost 39 hours on battery and still 26% left......this is the setup I was looking for, thanks for the heads up Dublinz and the rest who suggested Elegancia w/Anthrax
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Thanks! I do not play games. I just use the WIFI TONS! The only one issue with Steves ROM vs. AHRD is battery use. This rom with stock kernel I only get maybe 50% the use of bettery vs. Mikes. However I love this rom much better. With Bricked was little better but like I said apps stopped working like Facebook and then even Titanium backup.

Not sure what to try next....

Oh and I tried to change my banner but having issues. ( brain fart on how too again)
[HTC Sensation] KingP1n:
Thanks, also for those who like s2w can try rls5b w/ s2w which works as well....

[HTC Sensation] dajogejr:
Steve,

First off, thanks again for the ROM. It's great...period.

Has anyone attempted to tackle the data being powered off at midnight to 5 or 6 AM?

I know this is a battery saving thing, but this is a work phone and I get critical monitoring software emails sometimes throughout the night.

I saw a thread about people looking into it...but have heard/read nothing since.

Any plans to address this Steve?
[HTC Sensation] Zylograth:
Can't he just flash the stock GB RUU and then do the revolutionary S-OFF?
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
unfortunately NO
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
Try my combo...

I don't know how to help on the banner but I do know that I too also use tons of WiFi, so you might wanna try my combo.

The kernel I use, set to 384~1.5 (the 384 really does help the initial lag, which I don't see anymore) and use the Auto Wifi Toggle app (by some Japanese guy) and use the tutorial's recommended settings...kinda weird to set up and get used to, but once it's set you don't have to worry about it. BUT, this is only if you use WiFi On Demand and not WiFi on all the time...don't know why you would need it on all the time, but lemme know if I can help further.
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Thanks sir, I was dead tired after a 14 hour shift. I was wrong in that Its the internet I used TONS with 4g of TMOUS towers. I only use WIFI when Im at home usually. I do not play games. With Bricked I was getting much faster speed ( I know that does not make sense as the kernel should not have much to do with net speed) but I was, plus the ROM was snappier. Then about 3 days in FB app FClose and I had to uninstall updates and re-install to get it back, then Titanium did the same thing and finally I started to get huge sluggish response when using anything on phone. Example I would choose Music or Twitter icon to start program and it would take like 30 seconds to even start to show on screen. I only loaded default settings with Bricked and had used it on AHRD many times. Yes I wiped first and after loading kernal.

I might go back and try it again. I liked the swipe. I did download Anthrax 4d but it is 2 months old and since its not supported here on XDA I am leary to waste time trying it but her good things. I have used MANY Faux kernals as Mike uses them almost exclusive on his roms, however I have never really been much impressed with them so usually went back to stock. Maybe try them again. Not tried the Sebastian either.

The battery life on this ROM is not good. or maybe it is good but I am used to very long batter on the other rom. That said I love this Rom and Steve is a gentlemen and his helpers are the best and I brought lots over to this ROM and plan to stay here.

4 days on 1 battery.. almost

Incredible standby time.. couldn't quite squeak out that last 1.5 hours... nothing special here.. v 3.0, and I chose Seb's kernel during install. I freely admit I did not use the phone much (was busy).. and certainly not claiming I could get 4 days of active *use*.. but even (almost) 4 days of standby is pretty amazing IMO (a new record for me)

EDIT: stock battery
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Okay, Just did my backup restore to stock kernel and 3.0 and then flashed Bricked again. Same issue right away, Titanium FC. Tried to uninstall and reinstall Titanium and new issue. SAID OUT OF MEMORY! I know this is not the case so Bricked not playing well with 3.0 at least to me. Just restored stock 3.0 again and all is well including memory. Ugg. Guess I will stay stock kernel till I find one without issues? Maybe try Sebastian.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Since that's my link I'll pitch in...

Simple answer is NO. I will not discuss it any further in this thread as it's not the place...
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
Hmm...

When you mentioned you used a lot of internet via 4g, I couldn't help but notice you had a different radio. Is that radio the best for your region? I've heard that radios can affect battery life in a sense if it drops signal and needs to reconnect and blah blah blah (I don't really know the technicalities of it all)...

Perhaps checking on that and I wonder if you use Opera Mobile + Opera Mini...saves me a ton on not only data usage but I believe it helps with the overall battery life too.

As for Faux's kernels...yes, some versions could be radically different, even if it's in the same number build...which I found odd. But with this rom + kernel combo it seems the best, especially the version I'm running now.

As for the Anthrax, I'm hearing mixed reports about it as well as the overall support for it. I'll pass on that until that is straightened out.
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
That is old radio in signature.i am on new current tmous one. I will try Sebastian.thanks for your help.

Hi design12, no need, Elegancia_3.0.0 has already the APN unlocked :)

If you wish the GL drivers posted in our Add-Ons section, just grab the zip file and flash it.
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Everybody else, here, reports very good battery management, you are the first one to report short battery life here.

For your backup, I don't use Titanium as there is a much safer and faster way to backup your own applications and settings.

Hopefully you have a Nandroid of a good working Sense 3.6 (Elegancia or other)

FULL/SUPER WIPE your phone

Flash Elegancia_V3.00

Go to EXT4 recovery, go to restore and select the DATA from your Nandroid

In 5 to 10 minutes your Phone is up an running :)

As far as kernels are concerned, I wouldn't advise any as this is really too specific to every user depending on the way they use their phone.

But Stock, Sebastian, Anthrax, Faux and Bricked are all working fine with Elegancia :)
[HTC Sensation] Lakino:
Hi.

The auto sync status bar icon in the upper right hand corner is constantly on. It never turns off, even when I manually turn off auto-sync. In my previous rom, this icon only appeared when it was actually synching and turned off when not.

Does anyone else have this problem? I haven't flashed any other add-ons--nor have I flashed any other kernels.
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Well know issue, one of the 3 will solve it :)

a) Try unchecking all auto sync options and after that do "sync all". Circle should be removed from statusbar

b) Go under Accounts & Sync then click Facebook and uncheck "LIVE STREAM".. That's what's keeping your sync icon on.

c) Friendstream should not be removed during the Aroma installation
