Ufffff...... Just in time!!

HTC SENSATION 4G -

Previous rom: Stock

Current rom: VIPERS ROM 1.6.3

Regards, congratulations..... excellent EXCELLENT ROM

Excellent, fully customisable, the best ROM for me (not only because this is the first custom ROM that I install), better!!

Boot animation

Beats audio

Loud Speaker sound

GUI / Sense 4.1 ..... without words

FULL FULL customisable

Landscape mode in all system (locked screen, desktop, menu....)

There are no words to describe this ROM!!! My all respect to you, the creators of VIPERS 1.3.6

-------------------------

But, I'm some complaints about the Rom

I'm not sure if these are issues, (here my list of changes) anyway....

1. The system is [very] a bit slower (I don't know if this is because the governor setting)

2. I want to have the HTC Sense 3.6 meteo-clock, ¿can I flash it from the APK from the stock rom that I had?

3. I want to have the HTC Sense 3.6 keyboard, I don't like the new Sense 4.1 keyboard!!!!!!!!!! ¿how can I flash/install my previous keyboard without uninstall this Rom?

Ok everybody, a greet, I'm very glad to have this AWESOME ROM, I recommend to flash it INMEDIATELY!!

Total.... Thanks!!!

My personal recommendation before flash any ROM, please after download it,

verify that the MD5 checksum in the web page matches with the downloaded file!!!!!!

You can do this with Windows plugin "Hash tab" or into ES File explorer in android.

Cheers!!!!

--------------------------

PD: today (date/time of this post) I don't have more issues/problems.. When I experiments that, I'll notificate you!!

Welcome to Venom community .. you sure will like this ROM ..

1. For system being slow .. yeah the ROM comes pre-installed with Bricked kernel which is slower .. you should consider flashing another kernel .. IMO go for sultan sense based kernel .. here is the link :-

This one is with Ville C2 GPU drivers (One S)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39872917&postcount=1569&nocache=1&z=7398619102314115

For default drivers, check out the download location of latest version in OP here:-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2079851

2. No you can't flash system files like this

3. I don't think there are 3.6 keyboards for 4.1 sense ROMs .. the one which comes with the ROM is sense 4.5 based ..

RE

Thanks varun5833 for your answer!!

Yeah, thanks for your help, I'll change my kernel inmediately!! but I've a question before:

¿flashing my kernel deletes some information from the phone?

¿Which are the risks to install a new kernel?

See this in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2079851 to download Sultan Kernel

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC Sensation] varun5833:
If you are S-On, then I suppose you have 4EXT Recovery .. So, do remember to enable smart flash before flashing anything .. otherwise if it is permanently enabled, then it is ok ..

Before flashing the kernel make a nandroid backup (just to be on safe side) ..

Then wipe cache and dalvik cache of your phone from recovery .. There won't be any data loss by wiping dalvik cache and cache ..

Then you can start flashing sultan kernel .. you will enter Aroma and from there you can choose settings accordingly ..

Ohh and for ''Install this like you would any other kernel. If you install it directly after doing a fresh ROM install you may get one bootloop or infinite bootloops. Just don't install it directly after doing a fresh ROM install'' ..

As you are not flashing this just after your ROM install .. you may not get bootloops .. Cause I myself keep on flashing new versions of this kernel .. I never had any issue .. I only got stuck in bootloops once with PYD kernel .. but not any issue with sultan kernel ..
[HTC Sensation] padre629:
What the f***?!?!

Hey varun5833...

Many, MANY issues after flashing kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2079851)

I've do this:

First, after settings, my phone stucks on bootloop in the HTC logo (the ROM doesn't started!!)

Next, searching a bit in this page some person recommends to flash a "boot.img" file from the Vipers 1.3.6 ROM (the current) through the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command.

So, next, ufff the S.O. starts, the apps "updated", and all fine until.....

1. The sultan kernel doesn't appear in the Kernel version (settings/about/.....), appears Bricked kernel (like if never I flashed any kernel)!!

2. Wifi and Hotspot doesn't activate (WTF!!!! The phone hardware is in excellent state!!!!)

So, my FINAL QUESTION is: ¿what is the better practice?

First install the Kernel, Second install the Vipers rom

or....

First install the Vipers rom, second install the Kernel....

---------------------------------- I'll resend my question

I've installed VIPERS ROM 1.6.3 with the current kernel (bricked kernel), I've proof it, I've my data in it, it's EXCELLENT but slow, VERY SLOW

I wonder if it is possible to flash any Kernel, in order to get more speed....

Actually I've restored the NANDROID BACKUP that I made before flash the kernel.

Thank you very much...

----------------------------------

PD: excuse me for some angryness..... and correct me if I don't follow the instructions
[HTC Sensation] Harbir:
Lol man u are very confuse

Let me help u a bit kernel change is done after a Rom is flashed

Only In case of sultan kernel ....do not flash it after a fresh install .....let the Rom boot once and then flash sultan kernel ....

No need to backup phone for kernel change .....does not matter ....

So just flash the kernel ......
[HTC Sensation] padre629:
No problem!!! Yes, I was confused!!

Heheheheheheheh Harbir, thanks, I'll write this into a Notepad!!!

Yes, you say the true, I was confused heheheeh

Now I understand and, that's the reason because I say THANK YOU to you, all the developers, for let me learn about this android deep world.

[HTC Sensation] varun5833:
Am happy to see your issues are away .. If phone somehow get stucks in bootloop .. you have to flash boot.img using fastboot commands ..

But, you have to flash boot.img of the kernel you have flashed .. not the kernel from the ROM ..

What wrong you did was you flashed boot.img of Bricked kernel and your kernel was Sultan .. that's why you were having issues with wifi ..and that was the reason it was showing Bricked kernel in software information ..

Anyways .. if you have to face this type of issue next time .. just extract and flash the boot.img of the kernel you are installing ..

here is a guide which for sure is really helpful:-

Its better than stock

You can undervolt and underclock that will save alot of battery

[HTC Sensation] mhejek:
Can u recommend me value for undervolt and underclock.or just use aiomod?
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
AIO mod has no relation to underclock/volt. 1188 is a good underclock of the cpu, undervolting is a bit different. Some phones can handle more than others, as each phone is unique in that respect. If you start getting random reboots, you've undervolted too much, and raise the value back towards 0.
[HTC Sensation] varun5833:
1188 is not underclock .. it is the stock cpu clock speed of sensation .. going lower than 1188 will underclock your processor ..

and yeah you are very much right that every phone is different .. too much underclocking, undervolting and overclocking results in instability of the device ..
[HTC Sensation] UndaTheFumDave:
You may of already sorted it but if u un select them exit out re-enter and reselect it should show them up again. Had this problem b4 and that's how I sorted it?
[HTC Sensation] mhejek:
Maybe for sensation xe 1188 is underlock
[HTC Sensation] varun5833:
Yeah very true .. i have normal sensation though ..
[HTC Sensation] XeloOw:
They use the SAME processor, in the Z710e HTC decided to underclock the frequency in the XE it's the stock Qualcomm frequency !

[HTC Sensation] varun5833:
This means if I increase the clock speed of my sensation to 1.5 ghz then it will be stock according to qualcomm ..
[HTC Sensation] noodles2k:
Actually according to Qualcomm, the msm8660 (and msm8260) stock speed is 'up to 1.7ghz', such as with the Ville C2. ;)
[HTC Sensation] XeloOw:
Yeah stock Qualcomm frequency

1.1Ghz is for HTC

Envoyé depuis mon HTC Sensation avec Tapatalk
[HTC Sensation] varun5833:
I just searched a little and found that the msm8260 comes in 2 models .. one is with clock speed of 1.5 ghz and another is 1.7 ghz .. the 1.5 ghz houses in sensation and sensation xe .. and the 1.7 ghz houses in the One S ..

this means you guys are correct in saying that sensation is underclocked and sensation xe runs the stock frequency ..

I'm sure that this probably is a carrier problem that's arisen, but I wanted to check here any way...

My phone sometimes disconnects data and it won't come back without a radio reset. Anything I could do to fix this? Fast dormancy hasn't been a problem before, so I don't think that would help to disable.

The problem is very random and hard to replicate I'm afraid. Any ideas?

Edit: Sorry, no logs to show. And I'm on 1.6.3 with Bricked.

Hey friend,

please verify that you have an active internet connection, try to connect to a different wifi network, and also try to sign in without wifi (so, with HTC internet pass trough (the computer's internet is shared to the phone... for this you need the HTC drivers)).

Anyway, keep calm.... sometimes this process can take 5-10 minutes max.

Of course I have buddies, internet is usable for everything else except the google account.

but I opened up hosts.CBAK in etc folder, there were no IP for google account client to point at, so I typed it manually as I saw in another post, plus a sharp sign (#) at the start as that text said, then wiped dalvik, fixed permissions, and wiped cache. Eventually it works flawlessly now. :thumbup:

[HTC Sensation] noodles2k:
Not exactly. It has been sold as three different variants/speeds, 1.2Ghz, 1.5Ghz and 1.7Ghz, but they're all the same chip with the same spec. All Qualcomm have done is increased the recommended max clock speed. This is why the 1.7Ghz chip in the Ville C2 has a very limited overclocking ability, Qualcomm have squeezed all the power they can out of it.

The MSM8260 in the original Sensation technically isn't underclocked. At the time the Sensation was created (Jan 2011), the MSM8260 was being sold as a 1.2Ghz chip

Then in March 2011, Qualcomm increased the recommended max clock to 1.5Ghz and started selling it as a new variant - despite it being exactly the same.

The Sensation XE was released in September 2011 with a 1.5Ghz clock.

The 1.7Ghz increase to the MSM8260 was made to try and relieve the Snapdragon S4 shortage. Again Qualcomm didn't modify the chip, they just increased the max recommended clock speed.

So essentially, both the original Sensation and the Sensation XE are clocked at the stock speed of the MSM8260 at the time they were released, with neither having been underclocked, deliberately or otherwise.

They may have changed the binning margins slightly, but the majority of chips in Sensations and Sensation XEs are specced to 1.7Ghz
[HTC Sensation] den10:
Hey guys, I would like some advice and/or recommendations in regards to the rom, specifically, the battery life component. Although I am not new to this thread (last flash was ViperS 1.3), I am new to the current rom. I have spent the last week just flashing the rom (after wiping everything), tweaking the settings and trying out various kernels and governors.

However, none of them seem to give me any decent battery life. I use my phone very lightly (hardly 10 mins Temple run type gaming and 30 mins Wi-Fi usage) and although I have the stock Htc battery, I cannot get anything over 6-7 hours. I once got 12 hours, but I did not even touch my phone that day (2 mins of Screen up). I have tested the battery with almost 5 different apps and each said that it was in good/excellent condition.

I have tried everything from phone optimization to battery calibration and power saving apps, but still it runs out in 6 hours.

I am currently running the latest version of ViperS (1.6.3), on 1566 Gz max, all other stock Viper settings, Google Now mod, with Faux kernel and ondemand governor. This is probably the best setting I have tried and I get around 10 % increase in battery life compared to others. Bricked kernel once lasted 10 hours, but the phone was barely useable with so much lag.

If anyone can help in recommending a few different settings that worked for them I would be grateful (I am not going to ask for What's the best kernel because I know its disrespectful to the devs, but just what generally works for you in terms of battery life and performance)

Thanks everybody.
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
I've highlighted your possible problem. Underclock to 1188Mhz should save battery. Try uv too in tweaks.

Google now is a notorious battery eater, get rid of it. Its not meant for ICS. Thanks to shnizlon's hard work on porting though!

Go back to bricked kernel, faux is usually geared more for performance. If I had your usage I'd easily get 24 hours on stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] varun5833:
As icanttinkofaname stated you should go to 1188 frequency .. am also running my phone at that speed ..

okay regarding the kernel .. i won't suggest you bricked cause it won't give you a nice feel of using your phone ..

I recommend using Sultan kernel .. i have been using it lately and I have tried faux and bricked also .. Sultan gave me more battery backup than bricked .. I havn't used faux that much .. but when I used it, my phone heated pretty fast just by scrolling through the screens ..

Download this version of Sultan .. it has the lates Ville C2 drivers .. many users have reported that using this version, they got more battery backup, myself included ..

http://xdaforums.com/show...98619102314115

Select max frequency till 1188

and governor Intellidemand .. i haven't tried undervolting yet ..

you can change the settings accordingly, if you wanna get more performance .. but performance will reduce battery life ..

Like you I also used to get pathetic performance and battery backup until I switched to Sultan .. In my last charge cycle, I got 10-11 hours backup with 2-3 hours of continuous whatsapp chat over wifi and a little bit of browsing ..

What version of HTC sync manager you got installed on your PC, and is it WIN 8 or WIN 7?
[HTC Sensation] noodles2k:
oops, MSM8660 and MSM8260 are the same chip, they just have different radio profiles. MSM8660 is CDMA2000 and the MSM8260 is GSM.

I thought the TMOUS version used the MSM8660, but it doesn't. Fixed for correctness.
[HTC Sensation] nenadj:
I have not seen any installation instruction for this rom. Do I need some sd-ext or swap partition on sd-card? I coming from Revolution HD 7.2 do I need full wipe or not?

And if you have any additional recommendation you are welcome.:confused:

Regards
[HTC Sensation] hanisod:
Just like you flash ARHD and yes you need full wipe
[HTC Sensation] varun5833:
Yeah of course you need full wipe .. whenever you switch roms, you have to fully wipe your phone except sd card .. do not use any wipe script .. just wipe data from recovery .. then select full wipe in aroma also ..

You should consider flashing another kernel after you flash this rom .. the rom comes with bricked kernel which is pretty slow .. I recommend sultan kernel for both performance and battery .. but yeah do not just directly flash the kernel after you flash the rom .. or else may get stuck in bootloops .. just flash the rom .. set it up .. use it for some time and then flash kernel ..

There maybe be many reasons because of which your wifi is not working .. this is the most common issue people face when they flash custom roms as sometimes radio and RIL don't match or the boot.img does not get flashed correctly of that kernel .. and with ICS update by HTC, this issue became more common .. you will have to search a little and find out which way works for you ..

Am not facing this issue with this ROM ..

which kernel are you using by the way? am using sultan kernel ..

Have you overclocked? what frequency are you using? am using stock 1188 cpu speed

What governor are your using? am using intellidemand

Have you tried undervolting? undervolting lead to less battery draining without compromising the performance ..

if you think you are using settings and kernel which are battery efficient and still you are not getting the desired output .. then you may want to wipe off battery stats in your next charge cycle .. when you plug in your phone and it reaches 100% .. just go into recovery and wipe battery stats ..

there is an app also in playstore which does this for you .. ''battery calibration''

HELP!!!

Hi developers!!

I've installed this awesome/excellent ROM, firstly with Bricked kernel, later with the famous Sultan kernel (all the info is in my signature :) )

[See history]

Today a friend wants to send me a file through bluetooth.

His phone (Android) recognizes the mine.

Both phones needs to be linked.

Both phones are linked and recognized.

But, my phone doesn't receives the file!

My phone can sends files but cannot receive!

Visible mode activated and that phone says "Error", and my phone is quiet (like nothing)

Also I've proof with another phones (android and not android).

The other phone is unable to send me a file!

-------------

Before flashing (in stock Rom) this doesn't appears..... But now it's the unique problem that I facing!

I've installed correctly the Rom, I've flashed Sultan kernel, I've paired Radio and RIL (with GetRil app), I've returned to Bricked kernel (sloooowww).

What to do??? Anyone is facing this problem too? Anyone can help me?

Would be Radio/RIL problem?

Thanks!!!
