Is it possible to include sonybravia and xloud as options in aroma? I'm very careful with my volume and xloud is something that has greatly improved my usage.
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
If you look closely at the changelog, the Sony Bravia mod is already included. X-Loud can physically break the device, so it's safer to put this mod aside. For everyone.

I'm running faux, i did not edit anything.should i not be using this kernel with this rom?, confused.
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
System Tuner is the key for this mess...

System Tuner...https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNjYzcxLnBtdyJd

Basically, forget about all the init files and whatever...even AFTER I super wiped, reinstalled rom with a wipe and everything else I could throw at it, it would NOT work...if you erase the init file altogether, it still doesn't work AND the Zram doesn't work either (Steve, double check that Zram is enabled, I don't think it is)...

SOOOO.... just use System Tuner.

Set the CPU to whatever you want (384 min is good for minimal start up lag) and 1.5 max seems good...1.72 may be good for gamers, then there is a little box that says BOOT SETTINGS.

Click RE-APPLY CPU SETTINGS and set it to ON BOOT COMPLETED, not the init.d script (this used to work, now it doesn't for some strange reason)

Do the same for RE-APPLY SD TWEAK...mine is set at 2048 for class 4 16gb card.

I can't seem to get it to stick no matter what in whatever init files but when the phone completes it boot and the System Tuner fires up in the background, the settings are applied.

Just leave the init.post file alone as it has the IntelliDemand tweaks + Zram tweaks in it...the System Tuner will do the rest. (it's a great tool BTW, a little too powerful for most but handy for things if you know how to tweak)

The 2nd best thing for now but the payoff is well worth it.

(Hey Steve, maybe an option NOT to install Kernel is good. You've got the Stock and Sebastian and if you're not going to include others, why not at least the option of NO kernel install...should be simple enough in the Aroma install... this way to keep whatever current one is on? Just a thought...)
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
Not even aside as an option for those who really wants it?

I made a boot.img from the stock the kernel boot.img in the ROM that should solve init.d support no matter what kernel you use. I haven't test it so far, because I am running SebastiamFM where everything is working good. Anyway, I did this also when I was running Coredroid 5.1 that had the same problem when switching to bricked kernel. I follow the instruction of Showp, and modified the init.rc from the ramdisk and repack the boot.img again. After that no matter which kernel I ran, init.d support was working and all the scripts in the folder too.

I used the stock boot.img from the Elegancia2.1 zip because was the one I had in the computer I am right know. If the file is different for newer version let me know. I can do it again for the one you like.

I am not posting it because I don't think is right to do so without Steeve approval or testing.

Steeve, I just put these lines in the init.rc file. According to Showp, this method should be a more elegant solution to init.d support:

Lines 371 and 372

# Start sysinit service	for init.d suport
start sysinit

Lines 493,494,495

service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d

First, you are posting here an application which is not free.

This is called warez, and this is not allowed. So you are requested to remove the link ASAP

Secondly, the way you write your posts let me think that you know Elegancia Rom better than I do, which is funny, right ?

Thirdly, everything related to ramdisk with Faux has been already posted. Look, and take the time to carefully read my previous posts on this topic :)

And I repeat again, as it looks to me you are blind:

If you wish Faux kernel you then need:

Just delete the file from Faux placed in system/etc, flash the modified zip file and you are good to go. No need to do anything else.

No need to change or delete any file from Elegancia Rom

Faux kernel, the way they are today are specifically made for ARHD.

Faux is aware, and he said he will look into that

Last thing, you are most welcome to experiment everything with your phone, but please do not share your experimental stuffs here as they might confuse everyone here.

People these days...where is a good banhammer when you need it :D
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
Twas not my intention to shake the boat...

My intentions were good. I made a mistake of posting a paid app...I replaced it with the free one. The app was sent to me by my friend and I didn't think anything of it until now. For now on I'll be more careful and something like this will most likely not happen again.

Steve, you are the man when it comes to this rom or for any rom for that matter. I couldn't do anywhere near what you did for all of us...for this I bow and say I'm sorry if I came off as a Mr Know It All, which is also not my intention. My intention is to only help those who may have wanted Faux123's kernel onto this rom. Perfect Rom + Perfect Kernel (in my opinion) is worth a shout out to those who would want it. I don't get nothing out of this...just trying to help, as you are and everyone else is here in this forum/site.

I understand your method and I personally tried it. I don't know why, but the settings would

still

not stick, and it should have. I didn't change any files or settings in the Elegancia rom, as I don't know how and what I would if I could. This has been a headache for me and since I've found a decent solution, just posting it here.

Just trying to say that System Tuner is the easiest key to this overall problem with either Faux's or any other kernel for that matter. I just had to be a jackass to post a paid version...sorry, just trying to chip back something into the pot that I've taken from. :(

[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
So should i go back to another kernel?, faux seems to work fine. Is it not good?
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
No...it's not that...

No, it's not that. There's some weird script in Faux's kernels that kinda makes it work towards ARHD, but the simple workaround is to use System Tuner to set the CPU and SDcache and set it to RE-APPLY ON BOOT COMPLETED.

Easiest way...

don't worry about all the jibber jabber earlier

.

Test it for a couple of days and see if it matches your usage...for me it's great and I wouldn't stray away from Elegancia Rom + Faux Kernel combo at all, no matter how much Steve hates me now ;)
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I love faux, been using it for a long time and it works great. I also use system tuner to set the speed and have never had a problem.

I'll just add one thing that's been said before but worth repeating, I love that this ROM is so good we don't have anything to talk about except kernels. Thanks again for this Steve, I hope you never quit!

Stock kernel~Please~

Hello~Steve~

Would you please get me one? I can't find it for flashable zip .....

Thanks~

[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Do i have to adjust?
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
Nah...

It all depends on your usage...my day starts around 7am~8pm and I don't get home until around 9~10pm...that's a solid 12~14 hours. I'm basically still hovering around 50 or 40 (if I played a game for about 2 hours)...if you're anywhere near that range you are set.

Seriously, Steve has set a standard that everyone has to follow for a Tmous rom...I haven't had one hiccup at all. Whatever he does after this is purrreee gravy and you HAVE to know that his future work for whatever phone is going to be just as good. (hopefully it's the Samsung Galaxy 3, the next hottest thang!:cool:)

You couldn't tell us, or at least me for that matter, earlier?! :p

Had the friggin app all along, never ever used it...thought it was over my head with all those features, and the answer was there all along...fargh!

But yeah, it's TOO good...absolutely NO problem at all and it's seriously just kernel talk, haha.
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Well as much as I like Faux while using Mikes roms. You guys were making me nervous using it as I dont want to adjust any settings. So I went back to Sebastian packaged with rom. Fine kernel but missing STW.....
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
Sebastians kernel is one of the best..when i first started flashing I always return to his kernel..but I made a switch with a kernel with s2w so not to abuse the power button or volume rockers..

This isn't a kernel discussion thread,

I think there would be one.

If not, start one.

Let's go back to topic.

By the way, Steve and Team : VERY VERY NICE ROMS YOU'VE MADE, GO ONE.

THANK YOU FOR HARD WORK

gesendet von meinem Htc Sensation Elegancia Sense4 v 2.2.0 running Anthrax Kernel
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Looks like your new to at least posting on XDA, Welcome:) We are talking directly about WHAT kernel is being used with Steve's ROM and this is very much on topic. If you look back the 100 pages you will see its very much a main part of topic. I would agree with you if it was just KERNEL talk so to speak. Just wanted to keep the return flame fire from starting from others as I partly understand your point.

By the way, I did use Anthrax and it was fast and worked well. I did not like the over sensitive nature of the STW on it compared with Faux and Bricked. Plus since he got the boot here on XDA I just do not feel comfortable using his Kernal. I know that is stupid. Just my thang!

As for Sebastians, Yes I love it. Hopefully he will include STW on next version if any.

Peace
[HTC Sensation] wildcontigo:
Got to say. Anthrax combined with elegancia gives you the best sound. The kernel itself is very upfront, good and reliable XDA or no XDA. Second best imho is bricked with lots of customization options and no bs scripts. Sebastian's is very stock like with some nice touches. For battery life only probably bricked with badass balanced governor is the best.

Not a fan of faux (too experimental -unreliable- and arhd oriented)
[HTC Sensation] Catpoule:
+1
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Well I went back to Bricked. Did full wipe and installed with all defaults and with STW with no Captivate lights. Working great and I will stick with it until Faux makes a better Sebastian makes one with STW.
[HTC Sensation] steve841:
Guys... was curious to know if there was any resolution to the lock screen showing media volume when pressed .....??
[HTC Sensation] Zylograth:
I have seen this on every ICS ROM I have tried, even the official one.
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
That happens when you have pressed the volume buttons while blocked. Then it will appear.
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
For those who care...

Yo guys, here's the original Faux123 thread for his kernel, some good reading material: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216197

But here is now the Faux123 Kernel Version 007u_r2 that does NOT have AHRD script, so now it's supposed to work with ALL roms correctly: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54292644/Pyramid-ICS-sense-007u_r2.zip

(It's on Faux's official page but kinda of hard to find it on there, so I'm lending my DropBox for a few days)

Now you have the open option of Bricked, Sebastian, Stock, Anthrax and a corrected version of Faux now...all of which should work well with this incredible rom.

Please note, Sebastian's kernel & the Stock kernel that Steve had provided within his Aroma installation are good and changing the kernel is not necessary...only necessary for us "perfomance fiends"! :p

(So, don't confuse this as a necessary step to get this great Elegancia Rom running on your phone!)
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Thanks Joe. Going to stick with bricked for a moment as bricked has option to use stw without captivate lights.love that.

Hey Steve,

I see that Elegancia Sense 4.0 only seems to have an issue with wifi tether, Would it be at all possible to get Sense 4.0 into this ROM? I would love a stock look ROM with Sense 4.0.

[HTC Sensation] dajogejr:
ALL Sense 4 ROMs are having issues with WiFi Tether. It has to do with ports from other devices.

When one person fixes it...everyone will have it.

Putting Sense 4 on this ROM would make it redundant to the other ROM, or vice versa.

Curious, though, about your "restore data partition instead of using Titanium" strategy. Isn't that equivalent to not doing a wipe and just installing the new ROM plus wiping cache/dalvik?
[HTC Sensation] Eddy63:
Thanks

Thanks Steve for Good work and TmoUS rom

[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
It happens very often on the Amaze stock as far as I am told.
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Hi RickMckc,

Advanced restore Data versus Titanium

Pros:

- Adv Restore will restore only Data, applications and own settings

- Pretty safe

- Should work between different Roms

- Pretty fast to get it done

- With 2 Nandroid (one for Sense 3.6 and one for Sense 4) you can easily and quickly switch Roms if you wish so

Cons:

- Doesn't work properly cross Sense (Sense 3.6 to Sense 4 and vis versa)

It is not far from not wiping, but with that option (not wiping) your Phone will still keep core system files left from previous Rom, so it is not as clean as Full wipe and then restoring Data.

With Titanium it is not recommended to restore System applications as it can create buggy and messy System/

Thanks for your donation, this is much appreciated :)

[HTC Sensation] abw1111:
I would really like to know what you do to get that much battery life. I have been struggling to figure out my battery consumption. On my stock battery I was lucky to be able to get 12 hours of battery life on my phone.

I currently bought some Anker 1900 mAh batteries and am still in the first cycle on each, still I do not see battery levels like you do. Usually I use about 1.5-2 hrs screen time a day, and 3-4 hours of wifi listening to Pandora, with texting and facebook chatting throughout the day. This however drains my battery very low by the end of the night.

Do you have any specific settings that you use in system tuner? I have been trying to use the task manager to see if any apps are using a lot of CPU, however most seem to be minimal processes that work in the background.
[HTC Sensation] WackyJoe:
Hi...

1) The Elegancia Rom that Steve has masterfully crafted for us Tmous users is great, and I've seen no bugs and all major kernels work well with it and there has been no drain issues (except for maybe the Friendstream thing, but that's a Tmous app/widget that can be forced removed as well as the S-Voice which has some drain, but you can force close it as well as the cache)

2) I also have 1900 mAh Anker batteries (all "primed", and that is important) but I only have to use one.

3) I see that you are using Bricked, unless you didn't update, and I'm currently testing the Faux123 007u_R2 (007b3 has been one I've extensively tested and know works well, but I have to see what the latest and greatest really is all about).

4) I don't use much 4g (though I'm in an area with a great coverage map), I use WiFi as much as possible but I use an app called Auto WiFi Toggle that greatly helps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ionoff&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

(It's NOT a perfect app, but it does work 90~95% of the time...there might be better, but I know that this works pretty well for now...just set it to the recommended settings that is shown within the app and you should be fine.) + I use it in conjunction with WiFi Toggle Widget: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yLDEsImNvbS5haXRlYW0ud2lmaXRvZ2dsZXdpZGdldCJd because it actually shows on my Home screen which network I'm connected to and if it's on at a single glance...if I see that the WiFi Toggle app hasn't kicked in (which you can set at different rates) I press the WiFi Toggle Widget to manually turn it on...it will eventually turn on at your set scan interval. I'm lovin this combo right now though. (unless there is something better? anyone?)

5) I only set the Faux settings to 384~1.5 right now. I know I can undervolt slightly to help save some more but I've not gotten into that yet. I set it to 384 because one of the cores essentially "sleeps" when the screen is off...so it's the same as any other kernel with 192+192 both cores on...the 384 setting helps with the wake up lag.

6) This may not be necessary and some argue the usage of apps like this, but Battery Calibration type tools: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yLDEsImNvbS5uZW1hLmJhdHRlcnljYWxpYnJhdGlvbiJd

I believe help out...especially with new batteries+new rom install and etc.

Try this out and see for yourself. If you need further assistance, just PM me.
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
I have to echo what Joe said above... I am also trying the latest Faux kernel. I am on WiFi 75% of the time, and 4G at all times when out. There seems to be a noticeable reduction in battery drain using this kernel. However, I am not changing anything... I have the default 192-1.5 setup... I may notice a touch of lag resulting from the 192 setting which could easily be taken care of by moving it to 384, but for me the battery is more important. I run 4 Gmail accounts and 5 IMAP mail accounts on my phone, plus the usual complement of apps.... never was able to get more than 5-6 hours with talking, a little music, Tapatalk, and Taptu as my major battery burners.... since installing this kernel I am at 53% after 5.5 hours (stock battery).

Do a Nandroid and give it a shot, if you don't like it restore and you haven't lost a thing....
[HTC Sensation] abw1111:
Hey thanks for the reply. I actually was using faux's latest kernel before I switched to bricked yesterday to try and see if it was better. Of course, I was using the Faux kernel that everyone says was geared towards ARHD. Perhaps I may notice less battery drain on the all rom faux kernel.

So far on the bricked kernel I believe that my battery drain has gone down a bit. I am currently at 48% battery with 18.5 hrs on battery, of which a good 8 hours were not used while I slept lol

Screen time is only at 1 hr, wifi at 5 hours and pandora at 2.5 hrs.

I too live in an area where I do not get 4g. Actually most of the time I am on 2g :(

I will have to check out those apps you mentioned. For battery calibration I use battery monitor widget however.
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
This is my battery stats graph, using SebastiamFM included in the ROM. Only tweak for me, is that I have installed Daemon Controller and its Andrev_OC, so a can tweak Screen off frequencies (I don't like System Tuner, Setcpu and others, but they are very good tools, just I rather have DaemonOC)

I normally run 192-1188 on demand, and 192-432 conservative. I can say that there is normally no battery drain whatsoever, of course, using the phone is more battery intensive than Faux or Bricked, but I get what I need = If I am not using the phone, almost no consumption. I do have ran with some battery drainage, but cause by the WIFI Calling at my work, since the firewall/proxy, blocks it (there is no much signal so Wifi is more reliable).
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
My experiance with kernel and battery life:

1. Stock kernel 1.2

2. Bricked

3. Faux123 and Anthrax are almost the same consumption wise...
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
I agree Hate using stock but best battery. I am on Bricked and really liking it. Love the option of STW but with leaving Captivate lights off so no accident battery drain in pocket.

I too have said that I geat about 5 hours of battery time if I use 4g from 1 hour to 2 hours. I got excellent battery use on AHRD GB roms but been awful on all ICS ever since on stock battery. I can pull off charger at 100% and use 4g for normal web cruise for a half hour and be down to 83%. an Hour of solid 4g will have me at 50%. I do use FB alot and have 4 Gmail accounts auto checking stock settings.

Quick question - battery look

Hello,

I would like to know prior flashing this rom whether I have the option to see the available battery in percentage (like 18%) rather then stock - during install or later?

Now I use Elegancia 4.9.5 rom who is great but too blue for my taste. I would switch to this rom, although I'm not a TMOUS user.

I just rooted my sensation and I'm a happy Elegancia user. Thanks to the team.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I would definitely try this out, especially if you like elegancia phoenix edition. I find this tmous base to be a bit smoother and better battery than the standard elegancia. As for battery percent, even if you don't like it you can go to the themes section and install a battery of your choosing, I'm using the segmented blue circle battery with the percentage in the center.

The other thing you can try with this rom is Lightningbug's theme, found in both this thread and also in the themes and apps section. It has some very nice graphic enhancements to the stock look.

Try it, you'll like it:D
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
Yes you will have battery in percentage....

Yeah same here. So far on bricked I am noting a marked increase in battery life. I am curious to go back to faux's latest kernel though.

So far I am at 5 hours on battery and at 90%. Only have 36 mins on screen, however I have had wifi on for the 5 hours and used pandora for about 1.5 hours.
