HTC.apks in system folder

I notice there are a ton of these after Viper install....... not that there weren't with the previous ROM.

Is this just the nature of the beast even though many of these don't show up in actual use (depending on what check boxes one used when flashing Viper originally)?

I ask because under Manage apps, I see a great many that I din't think I was "using".

Holo Spiral wallpaper, HTC acct, checkin service,COTA client, HUB, sync wifi, ......

I also see People and Contacts here, but only People in the app drawer.

I made this init.d script I use to use a while ago which worked for me :)

Sometimes even the basic things get overlooked :p Sounds like the terminals might need a clean..

last_kmsg :)

I use lumberjack from playstore to extract logs or there's a windows tool made by The untouchable if you search XDA for it..

If you are getting shutdowns not reboots then your battery is failing, if you are getting reboots remove any UV settings and try, otherwise try another kernel with its stock settings...

Wow, i tried to overclock the CPU via Venom Tweaks just trying to push the bar to the max. Guess what, the ROM went in to infinite loop when booting to Sense UI. no way i can revert other than reflash the whole thing man...
[HTC Sensation] mandeep294:
Flash kernel
[HTC Sensation] neugroove:
Ok I was also victimized by the random reboots. I could replicate the problem by going into the camera app then switching the power off & on real quick, or constantly switching from landscape to portrait mode in the sms app + off/on combo. I tried everything and nothing worked until I remembered I upgraded ota instead of fresh wipe & install. Downloaded the rom in full instead of incremental updating and voila... So far no reboots, but I'll keep posted here just in case I spoke too soon.

So for those with random reboots, try a fresh install instead of updating. You never know.
[HTC Sensation] egg_n_ham:
Yo, i flashed a couple of times, to my old bricked v1.3.1 (previously used),

No avail. continues to die on me. When i say die, i mean the kind where i boot up to the ROM, waited for the apps to load up, cpu settings, lucky patcher bla bla, before i can do any action, it goes to restart.
[HTC Sensation] leviathian:
How about flashing rom without wipe? Or, make a nandroid backup, wipe and reflash rom and restore. Idk I'm not a pro, just suggesting what I would try if I faced it.
[HTC Sensation] egg_n_ham:
yo appreciate the goodwill there.

Anyways i wiped and flashed again. Just serving a warning to ppl out there to avoid twiddling with the max CPU clockrate at Venom Tweaks. There seem to be no checks or validations there. If the devs could make safe that bar to disallow anyone from max-ing out the meter, it can prevent this issue from happening.
[HTC Sensation] leviathian:
About that, I think it's always better to uncheck set at boot option before making any changes to max cpu to avoid boot loops. ;)

My phone shuts off too if the flash is on auto, its not the battery. If I select flash on it stays on. It happens in 1.4 and 1.41
[HTC Sensation] ataf:
Same here,

The problem has somethin related to the sd card.

To fix it just save sd data and format card

When you copy back your data to sd card back, the problem will gone
[HTC Sensation] elgrego4:
Why the would it be the sd card? It only switches of using auto flash.

You can't build in checks for OC and UV. Every phone is unique, because of the individual components that make up the circuitry. My phone can handle UV of -100mV, while others can't handle any at all. The same goes for OC.
[HTC Sensation] Iceberger:
Look here

This is not the latest SuperSu.

After rebooting the phone you should update it to the latest version from Google Play.

Just bought a Sensation for my girlfriend for Christmas and I'm amazed with this ROM! I've got a One X myself and this ROM seems just as smooth and all the customisation options are excellent! I actually really like the phone in general and kind of wish it was for me now lol.
[HTC Sensation] TriTopaz:
Got the same behave. I´ve installed Full 1.4.1 Rom with fullwipe this weekend. Just restore Apps with Titanium Backup and everything else maually or through Google "Automatic Recovery" under "Settings"->"Privacy".

Make sure you´re connected to WLAN if you got a Dataplan.

Now the batterylife increases a bit and everything works quite well. My last FullWipe has been with 1.3.0, I think. From 1.4.0 to 1.4.1 got some issues I couldn´t solve by clearing App Cache.

Setting up the Phone will take about two hours...
[HTC Sensation] aliko007:
try 2 install the rom 1.4 then 1.4.1 without wipe

Pretty good. My best so far is 11 hours with 5 hours screen on. But that was a once off. Haven't managed that again. Typically 12-13 hours with 3-4hours screen on. I've gone back to -0mV though. I've started getting more random reboots since 1.3.5. The system seems less stable than before.

I can see the videos in gallery, but if I try to play the player just doesn't open, nothing happens.

I can play the videos normally with File Explorer.

What can the problem be? I have removed some system apps that seemed rubbish to me, maybe that's the problem. Which app is responsable for playing videos in gallery?
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
HtcVideoPlayer.apk ?
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
Yup that's it. Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
I started getting more reboots at -100mV. There's not much of a difference in battery savings that I've noticed between -100 and -0. But all reports suggest it does help.

[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
I read somewhere that changing swappines to 0 makes phone smoother. So I changed it and it seems faster indeed. Is this a placebo effect? Can smb explain what swappiness does? I don't have zram enabled so do I need it?
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
changing swappiness to 0 makes your phone smoother is the obvious result :)

there are 2 things called: swap and zram -> to make it easy to understand, I can say that swap is similar to virtual RAM and zram is virtual RAM to but it is able to compress the blocks moved into it

=> swap is more efficient than zram because it doesnot compress

in theory, the reading and writing speed to REAL RAM is real fast (some hundred megabytes per second), our internal storage is definitely not as fast as real RAM and system has to move some blocks from real ram to zram (it should use CPU and takes time to move)

swappiness = 0 means NO SWAPPING between real ram and swap or zram => faster

swappiness = higher means you would have MORE RAM and you are able to run more apps
[HTC Sensation] TTime_007:
Where can is set this swappiness to 0??

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
Thanks for the explanation. So it does make the phone faster. RAM seems the same for me even with swapping 0. So if I understand correctly the phone is meant to use ZRAM by default, even in stock ROMs? Another thing the value before was 90, what's the default value?
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
go to this: /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

and change

the default of linux kernel is 60 and the default for some of the kernels are 90 => so it is 90
[HTC Sensation] bx10r:
Hate to post again but ive gotten no response on my 1st post. My phone is set to disk drive on pc connect and yet it wont connect. I usually have to go thru recovery. Pain cause if its music im transferring its time consuming..anyone experience this?
[HTC Sensation] mandeep294:
its fine here.. maybe its kernel issue.. try changing it..
[HTC Sensation] TTime_007:
Sorry I do not understand wat this mean...:confused:
[HTC Sensation] mandeep294:
use file explorer and navigate to d mentioned directory
[HTC Sensation] TTime_007:
I think I don't need to be on sd card.. But I can't get off! :(
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Use root explorer.
[HTC Sensation] mandeep294:
for accesing any directory except sdcard u need root features enabled in file explorer.. use es with root features enabled or any other
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
If I may :

Swap is one single thing, whether it resides in a virtual compressed RAM block device (zram) or an actual block device on an sdcard, all of this is called virtual memory (not only when it's on zram) and the way it works is one and the same.

The name

virtual

memory (aka swap) stands against

real

memory (aka RAM).

If you don't have any kind of virtual memory (swap), setting swappiness to whatever you want won't do

zip

, nothing at all !

Also setting swappiness to 0, while actually using virtual memory, is pure nonesense, as it's impeding the use of swap, so why acrivate swap in the first place if it is to not use it !?

The whole thing is pretty easy :

Want swap, set swappiness high, don't want swap, don't use

any

(hardswap or zram) and forget about swappiness.

[help] sms and 4g not installing ?

i just switched form one rom to this rom , but i am having 2 problems while installing this and not sure how to correct them ,

i have a t-mobile sensation 4 g

problem one :

i have placed checks by all htc options durning install ,but i cannot seem to get my htc sms to show anywhere on my phone, nor can i send or receive any text messages on my phone .

is there something im missing to turn my text messaging on ?

problem two:

i no longer see a 4g on my phone, i only see 3g and a lower case h...

not sure if the h = 4g

but wanted to know if 4g was or wasnt working either

thank you
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
Sorry for asking again but i don't use hardswap, nor zram. I set swappiness to 0, but after reboot it turns to 90 again. So, you mean that the value means nothing if I don't use zram?
[HTC Sensation] papete:
Just to clarify a little more:

Stock ROM's dont use ZRAM nor SWAP, so having swappiness set to 0 or to 100 will have no effect at all.

Swap is enabled in the KERNEL, stock htc kernel DOES NOT have swap enabled. Most (if not all) custom kernels have swap enabled, mostly for ZRAM (which is nothing more than compressed SWAP in RAM), and less frequently for a SWAP partition on SD (or even data).

So, first decide what you want:

1) Speed: get rid of ZRAM and/or SWAP. In this case setting swappiness to whatever will have no effect as there is no swap partition to move data to.

2) More RAM: Follow YANK's guide to partition your SD card with a SWAP partition, and then set swappiness to your liking. Personally, I don't like ZRAM so I don't recommend it, I prefer to have a SWAP partition in SD.
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
So how do I get rid of Swap, I use bricked kernel. Or the default kernel in this ROM isn't configured for swap normally?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
A kernel with swap support, will

support you if you want swap

.

If you don't activate any kind of swap, then there's nothing to get rid of, you're wasting a lot of energy to achieve what you

already have

:D

[HTC Sensation] MMoodyB:
Apologies for the slightly blurry pics, but it's been more of a case of what my eyes have become used to in 15months, than what's actually visually right going by gamma levels.

Display Tester showed the gamma on my Sensation's screen to be way off the mark. Closer to 3 rather than 2.2. The One X+ was around 1.8-2.0

My Sensation does have a little bit more contrast to its screen though when looking at both side by side, which isn't that apparent in the pics.
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
I have been thinking of including a reason for including ANTHRAX KERNEL in the hub. But now I know why. My start up is just half of what I had with bricked. Its damn fast! Glad I flashed ANTHRAX with suggestion of Ivicask!

[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
All Roms have signature check disabled, and its only during bootup and has nothing to do with random reboot problem you have.

You have done something wrong thats crashing the phone, wrong kernel settings, bad app, removed stuff that you shouldnt...
[HTC Sensation] Metalsauce:
Hey guys, another big thank you for the options available in the Hub! I just came back to 1.4.1 after spending a few days on DKOS and then another Sense 4 ROM... Needless to say I am happy to be back.

Wondering if anyone else has noticed this: I installed the Jet skin (looks fantastic btw!) and all is well except that when I open the Music app through the widget, I get Music FC. I can open it from the app drawer. But I can't get to the Now Playing screen at all. Music doesn't stop at all on FC, the widget still functions normally. I'd stick with this skin otherwise, but for now I suppose back to Music Lover!

*EDIT* No idea why changing skins caused this, but after wiping cache/Dalvik, clearing the Music app data fixed issue.
[HTC Sensation] The_Hamster:
I'm not a noob :D

Kernel-settings are rock-solid, and have been since I got the phone. All apps have been restored one by one. And I haven't removed anything. It just reboots at the most random times, and usually it reboots 5-6 times before it's stable..
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Please try flashing this in recovery and tell me if you still get FC (i dont with this apks)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/icsefr8sob50xaj/ViperS_Music_FC_FIX_TEST.zip
[HTC Sensation] Metalsauce:
I know you said you're not a noob and settings are solid, but that sounds like a UV issue to me... The only time I have reboots it's a result of a UV setting that might just be pushing it. For example if I try -62.5 the ROM is usually stable for a few minutes until I do anything particularly CPU intensive, then it chokes. No such issues with -50, everything is smooth and stable
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
I didint say your noob, just explained that log you pointed has nothing to do with your problem and i cant help you with it :/

As i many times say, i do sooooo much experimenting with my phone while i work on new/beta versions and still my phone never random reboot, EVER!

Can you atleast give some info on kernel, voltages, governor, OC speed, GPU OC value?Screen off freq? Did you do something specific when reboot occurred?
[HTC Sensation] The_Hamster:
I have been running the same UV since I got the phone, and not even a week ago, it was running without a problem on CM10.. I have even tried lowering the UV, and it still reboots.. :(

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

Oh, I just ment that I didn't do all sorts of stupid stuff to it :D

Kernel is PyD 3.8.1, right now it's running at -75 mV, but I have tried -50, and it still rebooted.. It's running at 1188 MHz, with both 2D and 3D GPU at medium OC. The screen off freq is 486 MHz.

And no, it just reboots completely randomly :( I can be listening to music, using my calculator, checking FB, surfing the web, or even just have it laying beside me :(
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
My firends also get reboot with PyD i dont know why..simple doesnt work for everyone...

Try Antrax latest version from HUB..
[HTC Sensation] ipeemyself:
Try using bricked kernel and re flashing the Rom without wipe. Also, I wouldn't recommend having gpu oc. Tell me if anything changes.
[HTC Sensation] The_Hamster:
Does Antrax have OTG? (Nevermind, it's right on my screen -.-'.. It's getting late xD)

Can't run Bricked, I need OTG on my phone (I'm using it with DSLR-controller.)

And I have never had problems with GPU OC, on every other version of Viper I have used max GPU OC without a single problem :)
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
+1 my phone never rebooted either. No I'm using bricked and -100 uv, minfreq 192000. I also tried all other kernels out there and never got any reboot either
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
New viper does have fully new graphic libs from android 4.0.4, if you are, try not using MAX gpu overclock, use middle value. (even it worked before).

And yes, the kernel i suggested has OTG and all the goodies like all kernel combined :)

Also just to be sure, if you dont need HDMI flash this flashable zip.
