[HTC Sensation] :
Bruce is back online tomorrow....here's hoping we might get an update :D
[HTC Sensation] mhejek:
I hope bruce can work together with alldev.4.3 need more dev to get stable
[HTC Sensation] szotaa:
We need a talented dev who would make camera working with ION or AOSP 3.4 kernel
[HTC Sensation] redback_rsa:
Nikez has the 3.4 kernel booting, but it's not stable enough for release he claims.
[HTC Sensation] :
Why are you people still on Android 4.1.2 and why are you waiting for Bruce to continue working? I mean there are threads with Android 4.3 running ... Besides that Bruce said he wants to work together with albinoman so why are you still hanging in this thread? Just wondering...
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
This ROM is perfect in terms of stability and it uses less RAM than 4.2.2. Bruce has done a wonderful job in making one of the most smooth and stable ROM'S with decent battery life... I'e 4 hours onscreen minimum. Respect to Albinoman for getting 10.1 bug free but android 4.2.2 requires at least 1GB of ram to operate smoothly something the sensation doesn't have.

Kind Regards

Dave
[HTC Sensation] :
Ditto that, this ROM has been my daily driver for months and months and my phone runs nice and sweet with it :good:
[HTC Sensation] Repoman123:
Which battery do you have? What's your usage like? My battery is killing me.
[HTC Sensation] barepe:
No Thumbnail on 1080p video record need to fixed :)
[HTC Sensation] Zandeer:
I use the anker 1950 Mah battery bought through amazon. Anker direct has amazing customer service and an 18 month battery replacement warranty.

Plus no need for a new cover.
[HTC Sensation] adame09:
What's up with Bruce anything new guys?

Or what about for beth he was a beast too
[HTC Sensation] madkai:
from this twitter on 14. Aug

https://twitter.com/bruce2728/status/367636069694857216
[HTC Sensation] shantur:
Will this hal fix the focus in video recording as well?
[HTC Sensation] :
Seems his Sensation has died, from Bruce's Twitter:

Bummer :(
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Well, R.I.P CM10 by Bruce :(

If there bugs were fixed I would consider try using as a new base for MIUI V5, as the base being used has some issues :\
[HTC Sensation] Sorin90:
I think you should rebase it because Bruces build is much better than the actual miui base ;)
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Do you know what is the current base that MIUI is using?

The last release from Bruce contains the same issues our current base has, so there's no use switching to be the same.
[HTC Sensation] Sorin90:
Hmmm but on bruces i dont have video playback glitches ..
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Have a look at the 'not working' list. Tell me if it's worth trading the base. Current miui uses Cile's aosp 4.1.2.

I can try testing it later on, but if two bases have issues, I don't think it's worth it. Besides, don't forget that the base has no big fixes, only miui, so current issues will always be there, no matter how far miui is developed to perfection.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
A guy on Twitter asked if he could donate to Bruce for a new sensation. I'm sure if 12 people donated £10 for a second hand sensation we would be able to get him another used sensation :)
[HTC Sensation] Corvo007:
Bruce's Sensation is dead. So let's donate to give him a new Sensation so he can develop for sensation again.

The email for donations can be found on his profile.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Thanks, it would be appreciated, I have a nexus but there is nothing to fix on that so it gets pretty boring.

Now I've moved house and got broadband I have some time to kill while I find a job round here, so would have plenty free time to dev on the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] :
There's 'talk' about donations for Bruce but nobody has actually donated anything yet (fact), come on guys chip a few shekels in as Bruce is ready and waiting to update this ROM :good:

And before you start on me I gave him a brand new mobo, CPU and RAM a while back to help this ROM get developed, but I'm gonna chip him a bit again now to help the Sensation Fund :)
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Why doesn't Bruce come to his thread and talk about it? Why only members talking about his tweeter posts? Its not like he's banned or anything.

If I wanted to continue maintaining a rom for a device which I no longer have, I would talk about it in the thread or at least xda, not only tweeter.

I mean no offense what so ever, I just find it odd.
[HTC Sensation] :
Err...he is...look a couple of posts up >>>
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Sorry, I missed it then :D
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Thanks for the continued support mate, I wouldn't even have a working PC if it weren't for you.

Just a quick note to anyone else thinking of donating, if I don't get enough within the next few weeks to buy a new sensation I will refund all donations received.

Thanks again guys, I hope to bring bug fixes, ion with working can and new cm features to this ROM, but can't do that without a device to test on.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
I'll chip in if it's happening. Never liked CM on sunny, but always liked Bruce. Don't have sensation anymore either :)

No time to do it atm, so someone please mention me on the weekend to remind.

tinky
[HTC Sensation] shantur:
Bruce,

Conformation number 8UR28695EP593534P

I think you are the one who can get us a better camera on aosp.

Keep up the good work.

PS: I just checked eBay and there are couple of auctions for sensations ending today. If we can fund Bruce he can get one of these.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Thanks, I'll do my best.

Still a way to go until I have enough to start bidding though.
[HTC Sensation] :
How much is the fund up to now?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Just over £30 which was mostly from you :)

Thanks again mate
[HTC Sensation] :
There's a scruffy one on there for £89.00 so maybe if a few more people chip a bit in ;)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-Sensa...-Mobile-Phone-Average-Condition-/271185024087
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
And it comes with 90 day warranty.

There are some on Amazon for about the same price too.
[HTC Sensation] szotaa:
Hey [MENTION=1617770]bruce2728[/MENTION] if you couldn't afford Sensation then hit me. I have a lot of free time to test builds etc. (Already done it for nikez)

[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Thanks but testing new kernel stuff means some times flashing stuff that might break your phone.

I wouldn't want to be responsible for that.
[HTC Sensation] szotaa:
But Is the risk really high or you say that "just in case"?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
It is quite high when messing with memory allocation and drivers not made for the hardware.
[HTC Sensation] JG:
I know you are looking on the UK side of EBAY but there is alot of sensations on the US side with alot of cheap prices you should look over there as well

[HTC Sensation] papikev:
Here you go bro: hope it works out as it would be nice to see you active on the sensation again: 3507-3610-7398-7438
[HTC Sensation] :
Target acquired :cool:
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
No idea who bought it but at ~£71 for a tatty (some scratch marks) fully working Senny, assuming Bruce has a charger then scruffy/no charger/cracked screen but working should pop up sooner or later at an affordable price:good:
[HTC Sensation] :
Collectively its now the property of Bruce due to a 2s Double Tap :good:
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Thanks mate, good to be back
[HTC Sensation] papikev:
He has to settle for one with a cracked screen? :what:

If so, was hoping our donations would have bought him a something a little nicer. No worries, I'm sure he appreciates the efforts.
[HTC Sensation] :
Not sure where that original comment was aimed but what we got Bruce was a fully working senny with just a few pocket marks on the top, also has charger, car mount, SD card and original carton.
[HTC Sensation] papikev:
Maybe I misunderstood. There was a post talking about one with a cracked screen. I thought that was the one purchased. Just want to see him get a nice phone since he has done a lot for the sensation is all man. Sounds like he did get a nice one.
[HTC Sensation] GazaIan:
Do you want me to metaphorically kill you? It'll work when it works.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Can you link me to the source? I want o try getting in on this. I haven't fixed much in my life when it comes to source but I'm willing to give it a ****.

EDIT: SHOT, not ****. Damn vowels.
[HTC Sensation] M..N:
This seems interesting looks like it adds htc support for audio http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/20010/
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Lol yeah but as you see its not done, still needs fixing
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Ok first off you have to be running Linux or one of the Linux destro's such as Ubuntu (version10.040 recommended), Debian, or Kickback. You can also use one of these in a Virtual Machine on Windows but make sure you set up enough memory to compile from source, at least 80GB or larger, I suggest larger just to be sure. Here is a link to the guide I used to setup my build environment and download source from Google. Follow all the steps in the OP of the guide, also make sure you have the Sun Java6 SDK installed or the compiler will give you a error about not having the right version of Java installed. The guide covers the Java installation but if you have trouble intalling it just read through the thread as it is fixes for it inn the thread.

After you have done your Master repo sync with Google and need to add your device tree, do this in terminal.

If you are already in your WORKING_DIRECTORY you do this.

$ cd htc

If you are just in your home directory you do this.

$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY/htc

Then clone your device try by typing this into terminal.

$ git clone git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_pyramid.git pyramid

You can also just do a master repo sync with CM 10 if you would like and skip Google but I prefer to sync with Google first. Unfortunitly I am on Windows right now and can not access my notes I have in Ubuntu and for some reason I can not find the CM 10 github so I can give the command to do a repo sync with CM 10.
[HTC Sensation] chukis13:
Isn't it in the android_device_htc_pyramid.git just in a separate branch?
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
seriously, STOP spamming these JB threads. you did it in sahil's thread, and now youre doing it here. this is DEV, not my brain and fingers are directly connected without a filter thread. thats what this is for

ugh...forgot about that. wtf is the point? this is like a new breed of troll >:/
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
You forgot that he also spammed Bassini's thread too. 400 posts in a month tells you a lot.

.
[HTC Sensation] melo563:
Everybody complaining about what he said you do realize that he said this hours ago and if the dev can ignore then anyone else can ignore too

think about it you turn a one question (dumb) question but one question into 3 pages of why why why and when someone comes and ask a real question it gets over looked

Why....

because nobody wants to read 3 pages of don't post questions like that, he knows he shouldn't but does it any ways so report him or something instead of politely cussing out someone plz

it is ridiculous it happens in every thread then the same people who say why why why tell someone with a real concern that may be relevant

"you should read thru the thread because it was answered like five times"

but as you read thru the thread all you see is why stop asking blah blah blah it makes you not want to read the thread

so ignore, report, ask your gf why or install Rom and ask google now :thumbup: why does he have to make posts saying that and let's get jb on the Damn sensation because it is better than ics and HTC for Damn sure isn't going to give it to us /rant:what:

Sorry Bruce but had to be said IMO thanks for the hard work when audio comes probably be the top thread in sensation good luck:D:D
[HTC Sensation] Gtj94:
Looks like intervigilium and cretin45 have pushed quite a few audio/wifi patches to their git just recently, should check it out. :)
[HTC Sensation] stroobach:
hey bruce. try this :)

they may not be done but perhaps they give us some sound :)
[HTC Sensation] darkbasic4:
Can I compile it with OpenJDK instead of Sun?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Its not recommended and might give you a few errors, but it might work I've not tried to use it before.

I'm running a build now with intervigil and cretin45 latest commits, I'll let yous know how it goes.
[HTC Sensation] stroobach:
really hopes audio is fixed.

im looking into wifi now. maybe its as simple as i think it is
[HTC Sensation] darkbasic4:
If you can please try icedtea too, it should have some libs missing from openjdk.. unfortunately i don't have enought free space to try it myself :(
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Check out that bug list people :)
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
WiFi and audio fixed
[HTC Sensation] stroobach:
**** yeah

[HTC Sensation] SK1LLS:
+1 for this my camera orientation is way off also its like im holding the phone sideways.
[HTC Sensation] R2D2_NZ:
Great work bruce2728 and the team. Can't thank you enough for making this available to us Sensation owners, particularly as Telecom NZ have only just released ICS to their customers in the last couple of days.

Being at the forefront of Android tech with yesterday's hardware?... BRILLIANT!

:D

Cheers,

[HTC Sensation] jaysun3000:
thanks for the cam Bruce i will be shoving some money at you soon

just an update on the new build....was allowing the rom to settle and it did the black screen or screen off with capacitive lights on all other buttons and touch screen not responsive i did a batt pull....
[HTC Sensation] sjappie:
Stock!
[HTC Sensation] Donny1987:
Dude, it was a reminder for an issue I reported earlier today. Stop kissing his ass. :cyclops:

same here, but after first shot it works fine. big thanks Bruse!

also switching to front camera does not work

[HTC Sensation] Static251:
Goo.im went down while he was uploading. Use the mirror instead.
[HTC Sensation] Hardcore69er:
use a 3rd party app for camera.. fixes alignment

instagram did it for me.

but it realigns itself after first picture
[HTC Sensation] motopaddy:
camera

Camera works fine! Thanks for all the hard work!

First launch is in landscape, but takes pictures in the right orientation.

After first shot orientation in view is also fixed!
[HTC Sensation] MattDrumz:
For those having problems with the camera preview looking all weird refer to this (I just tried it and it works fine for me):

Or just take a picture like some other people are suggesting.
[HTC Sensation] duchian:
here are 2 additional mirrors from thomserree:
[HTC Sensation] sjappie:
Yeah changing the resolution works only when te camera app stays open. When closing and reopening the orientation is wicked again! :D
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
downloading latest update at 60kb/s ouch... feedback soon really excited to make this my daily !!!! can't wait good job on this!
[HTC Sensation] snake logan:
The button to switch to front facing camera doesnt work for me in the default camera app or third party (I tried instagram). All it seems to do is horizontally flip the image.
[HTC Sensation] duchian:
have you tried download from my server?

I couldn't work that one out either, maybe they thought we were bidding on something else, I dunno. This one is pukka though.
[HTC Sensation] szotaa:
Hey bruce, since you're back are you planning to work on bringing 3.4 kernel to AOSP?
[HTC Sensation] Sleepy!:
Looking good!!!

Someone needs to take some ultra fine sandpaper and go to town on the top of that phone.... otherwise, it looks great. :thumbup:

Being one of the financially incapacitated people who couldn't donate, let me extend my heartfelt thanks to all the people who have played a part in getting Bruce this gift. * thanks a lot * :o

Welcome back, Rob. *yay* :D
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Welcome back Bruce, thank you to everyone that helped Bruce, donating and acquiring a new Sensation.

Last time I used Bruce's rom, was around Christmas and January, the magnificent OpenSensation2 builds, they were great. Ahh, memories :)
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
I'll have a look at the source when I get setup, just updated Linux so I've got to setup the build and sync everything again, I'll be doing that tonight.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
I'm still £11 short of paying for the new senny though, hal_chase won it on ebay for me

[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Just about there thanks mate, should have it some time next week :)
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
The first build I put up won't have many changes, as i need a stable base to work on.

But as soon as I have that I'll start on the kernel.

Did anyone ever get autofocus in video recording working?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
It's difficult with the time zones and the kids, they can't find them a school atm, they are all full in my area.

If I have anything worth sharing I will push it to github as soon as I can.
[HTC Sensation] shantur:
I don't think any aosp / cm / evervolv rom supports autofocus in video recording for sensation.

I remember reading one of your posts mentioning you were working on Camera HAL. Please give us the good news :)
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
Nope, not a lot of progress has been made on AOSP kernels since you left.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Beg the governors till they let them in ;) + I'm free to test out any builds you might throw out for stability :D
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Dafuq? Seriously? No spaces at schools around your are? They are obliged to place them. How old are the kids?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
They are 4 and 5 so going into the first 2 years. The only school with places is 5 miles away but it's under special measures from Ofsted 'cos it got an inadequate report.

If I took them there it would cost me about £45 in bus fares per week and my kids are very bright and coming from an outstanding rated school I'm not sending them to an inadequate one.

Plus I live next door to the best school in the area, but they have no places
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Keep begging and they'll let you in, I've heard loads of success stories of parents doing that to get their kids in
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Has anyone tried flashing Sebastian's 3.4 kernel?

I'm starting to put things together tonight but don't get my sensation until tomorrow.

Could somebody try it and pull a last_kmesg and logcat please, would speed things up a bit, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Flashing the kernel with your rom ?

I guess if someone tried wasn't able to boot :)

I can try it later on - if someone else can do it meanwhile, better.
[HTC Sensation] szotaa:
[MENTION=3678722]LaidbackNikez[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4800121]android1234567[/MENTION] already booted it on AOSP AFAIK
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Thanks, if it doesn't boot it might need some firmware or libs from the ville c2.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
They must have found problems with it as they are using 3.0 in their ROMs.

I'll see what I can do with it
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
I think you'll have to use my ion ROM to get it to boot.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
When I tried booting it I think the last_kmsg said that none of the partitions were being mounted (this was a while back so I might not be remembering it properly). I tried messing with fstab and the ramdisk in general but I gave up early because I didn't think I could get the camera working with an ION ROM build.

Regarding the camera on an ION ROM build... I did manage to get connected to the camera HAL (and turn on Torch, get all the supported capture resolutions, etc.) but when I opened the camera app I was greeted by a black screen, and logcat gave an error similar to the one generated when the encoder/decoder didn't have enough memory allocated to them (maybe it has something to do with gralloc). I tried doing all sorts of things to the encoder/decoder allocation in the kernel and I tried modifying the display/media HALs but I was not successful.
[HTC Sensation] szotaa:
Nikez tried flashing 3.4 K on Sultans ION rom but it didn't booted. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43584176#post43584176 - proof and discussion about 3.4k which may be useful) I really would love to help you, but I left my Sensation at my friends place. I'll be able to flash Sebastians 3.4 kernel over your ION rom and give you logs tommorow at 13.00 (GMT +1, Polish time)
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Thanks.

I saw in sebs thread that it booted with slim bean, couldn't we pull some stuff from that to get it booting?

I'm thinking the camera may need a new hal from htc but we know that will never happen.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Nikez was successful in booting a 3.4 kernel on CM10.1 with ION.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Was everything working though?
