[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
When people say the ROM is smooth they aren't comparing it to the gnex that has aosp built by Google themselves. Bruce is working with outdated drivers that were made for ICS. The only thing that you can compare this ROM to is possibly cm9. And in comparison this ROM is smoother than cm9 ever was for me. Bruce and the cm team have a long way to go with driver development and getting vsync enabled but they've done an amazing job working with what they have. No one has even progressed this ROM to stable much less final . I recommend you install cm9 and make a comparison then come back here and thank Bruce.
[HTC Sensation] Wagedroid:
Flash 3.0.36 kernel and secure WiFi tether will work. I've posted this like two times
[HTC Sensation] darkbasic4:
Because it has similar hardware but state of the art software.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

But I *DO* thank Bruce, I even did a donation to thank him. I also already tested cm9 since searly snapshots and I know it well. Mine was a rant against the Sensation itself which never got enough love from HTC and still has every kind of problem because of that. I compared it with the Nexus because this is what you can possibly achieve and what you should expect from an high end HTC device. Nobody charges Bruce here.
[HTC Sensation] ninjabadger:
But that device has many engineers on massive wages making optimized software possible. Its also a lot more expensive phone to buy.

Poor old Bruce is working on this in his own time and only payment for his hard work our donations and appreciation.

HTC can't even give us the latest sense let alone jellybean.

If its so slow for you just move along. I for one love this ROM and thinks its coming on leaps and bounds in performance.
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
OK well it just came across wrong. I agree that HTC really put the sensation on the back burner . It was obvious it was going to happen when they CE out with the Amaze just a couple of months after the sensation and proclaimed it an updated sensation . Hopefully they give us jb official so we get updated drivers.

And you say you tried cm9 so you must see how much faster and smoother this is already in the beginning stages of this build. Personally I feel cm9 was a lagfest.
[HTC Sensation] darkbasic4:
Please re-read my post, the forum did edit it instead of adding a new post.

P.S.

Nexus isn't expensive, I paid it less than 300€ four months ago (brand new).
[HTC Sensation] Sensational_:
Hi, could someone point me towards the 3.0.36 kernel referred to earlier in this post to fix the WiFi issue. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
Why people still complain about lag have seemingly ignored all previous suggestions to resolve this, like

* set badass governor to performance mode (see FAQ)

* select a different governor in Settings -> Performance submenu (with on boot option checked)

* install and use a different launcher (discussed at length as well)
[HTC Sensation] Nemphys:
Could someone please check (and confirm) the following:

Checking CPU times in System Tuner or BetterBatterystats, even at idle (but with screen on), the CPU is working at max speed (whatever it is) 1/3 of the time.

Eg. 384: 6 min, 1566 2 min.

I think this is why my battery (even the new Anker) is draining so fast with screen on and I would like to know if it happens to others, too.
[HTC Sensation] ninjabadger:
Yes and a sensation can be picked up for a lot less. I still don't see your point.

As I said my phone is running VERY smoothly and I have not need to upgrade all thanks to Bruce.
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
Not sure if I see the same as you, but occasionally my max fequency gets pushed back up to 1.5Ghz although I had set it to 1.4 previously in STP (also with init.d boot setting; using ondemand governor, though).
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
I see about 20% at max frequency 1.3ghz 65% min 192 and 1-2% in between. Seems normal since its not in deep sleep.
[HTC Sensation] doogoshly:
must be your phone because i'm on the 10/27 build with badass governor with 1188/192 and direct comparison with my friend's sgs3 reveals only a slight stuttering. to quote my friend, "dude your phone is as smooth as mine is." in addition, it's smoother than my gf's iphone4s and also holds it's own against her roommate's iphone5.

also seems like the wakelocks are fixed. my screen on and awake periods are correlated and is nowhere near as bad as it was before the 10/27 build. played bad piggies for 45 mins straight this morning and battery is only down to 75% on stock battery. great work bruce!
[HTC Sensation] Superpiper1972:
Latest build is ace.

No lag etc, makes a mockery of the I phones :D

Well done, superb

Pah!
[HTC Sensation] darkbasic4:
Cheaper price for a brand new HTC Sensation is 340€ on ebay (brand new, from Europe, shipping to Italy).

Cheaper price for a brand new Galaxy Nexus is 290€ on ebay (brand new, from Europe, shipping to Italy).

HTC please wakeup and give us a f_cking jelly bean sense rom, we really need only the drivers, you can keep the rest of the sense sh_t for yourself.

Edit: The Galaxy Nexus will get 4.2 and a brand new kernel in a few weeks, so it will become even faster and better.
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
I wasn't looking for advice. I was reporting what works and doesn't on the just released ROM. The assumption being that we'd like to get things working without reverting.
[HTC Sensation] doogoshly:
then buy a galaxy nexus. then you can go to their forums and whine about their roms. the sensation is a full 6 months older and yea it has never been a flagship nexus phone so it doesn't get the same updates and r&d.
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
Could we please get back on topic, any further phone comparisons (pro or contra) are pointless and useless here.

The wakelock situation with Oct. 27 build has drastically improved, great job Bruce!
[HTC Sensation] InfamousBlade:
Guess Bruce removed it. Luckily I still have the zip. I just mirrored it on mediafire. http://www.mediafire.com/?mfha866b35t6sz6
[HTC Sensation] darkbasic4:
[OT]

I already bought a Nexus but I gave it to my mother because she broke her phone. I bought the Sensation because there was no android 4 at the time it and I never liked the 2.x interface, Sense was somehow better. Anyway my next device will probably be a Xiaomi Mi-2 or the new Nexus, but I will wait until the price goes down (sorry for the OT).

[/OT]

I confirm wakelocks situation seems a bit improved with latest build.
[HTC Sensation] corkythetard:
Is anyone having Facebook app issues? :ducks behind couch laughing hysterically:

Quick side note, been on the 10/27 build for a couple of hours now. Badass governor set at 192/1566. All animation dropped from .5x to 0. Force GPU checked. Disable HW Overlay Checked(Yes, I know it's been fixed since the 10/19 build, but I use a couple of quirky apps that it fixes pixelation issues for). No data issues whatsoever.

Come to think of it, I have nothing except great things to say about this ROM and Bruce's hardwork!!

Buttery smooth? Nah, silky smooth! :D
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
Thanks to Bruce I have not had to pay 400+ for a new phone because I am completely updated to my liking, so stop posting about other roms and phones being better than this phone due to development, sorry if I come off as a douche, but Bruce has earned his respect in this community, just by saving all of us money

questions about the ROM/kernel

does wipe2wake work with this ROM?

If not, is there another kernel that will get W2W?

are there lockscreen shortcuts available with this rom?

Is it desensed?

Are there any additional apps that need to be loaded other than gapps for the average user?

Calendar

SMS

Music

Gallery.........

I don't care about OC or UV or any of those kind of tweaky bits.

Just a good phone that'll do gmail, interwebs, WiFi calling/hotspot, time, weather, music....

Not too many steps to turn stuff on/off.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Just download and flash the ROM and gapps and your good to go. :)

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Yes, yes, this is an AOSP based rom so nothing from Sense, no. Just install this, it's imo lightyears ahead of any Sense/deSensed rom.
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
I noticed in the newest build the 16:9 camera option has been removed, care to enlighten the community my friend?
[HTC Sensation] Pulinski:
Still 16:9 in 6Mp mode.
[HTC Sensation] ninjabadger:
You are indeed correct.

I flashed over 25 10 and still have 16:9 set as default but no longer have this as an option. As such if I were to change it I couldn't get 16:9 back.
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
This obviously isn't the ROM for you. This is a development aosp (no sense to desense)ROM that requires constant updating,minor tweaks including initd , no WiFi calling blame HTC.

BTW,its S2W
[HTC Sensation] Superpiper1972:
Disagree, its made to measure for his requirements IMHO.:D

Pah!
[HTC Sensation] Yogimax:
Just reinstall the gallery2 app from Bruce's source - it was in the previous build but seems to have been missed from this one.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Re uploading 27 now, missed a few things but fixed now.

WiFi hotspot should be working

16:9 cam is back

Made a few kernel changes, will upload source tomorrow if all goes well.
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
where can I find that?
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
Bruce <3
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
It was a kernel problem, something broke when I merged some changes a while back.

A lot of the partial wake locks in better battery stats are while the screen is on, eg. If I upload a file to ftp using es file explorer it will show a wake lock for the whole time its uploading.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:

Is there a screen capture hotkey sequence in this Rom? Like home+power?
[HTC Sensation] metropical:

thanks

oh, never mind. I stepped back off of gmail set-up and found my way in.
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
Volume down + power (hold)
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
and is this ROM capable of s2w, or is there a mod for same?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Read the first post. In short, yes.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
The new one
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
guess I'm blind.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
My bad, thought it was in there! But yes anyway, it's there if you enable it.
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
hinty hint please?

there is no interaction in the install that I see like say Aroma.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Look in the /system/etc/init.d/ dir for a file called 89bruce and open it with your favorite text editor.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Searching this thread would come up with it, but to enable it you need to edit the 89bruce file in the init.d folder. Then change the file's permissions back and reboot.
[HTC Sensation] badai:
finally. wifi hotspot work on build 27 oct.
[HTC Sensation] Pulinski:
10/27 Build

Confirm camera is fixed.

Re: Hotspot...my iPad will connect to the phone but no internet. But I see that I have the dreaded data problem, so cant confirm that. Arrgghh.
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
I don't have a fave, so I tried Jota. It couldn't save the change.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
It should, but the problem is the file permissions change as soon as you edit it. So go into file properties and change them back, then reboot.
[HTC Sensation] Pulinski:
Data back working now...don't know what happened there. Tested Hotspot and can confirm it works as expected (WPA2 encryption)
[HTC Sensation] walle4893:
Is anyone else still experiencing slow SD card transfering speed ? I'm getting less than 1MB/s ( Oct 27 )
[HTC Sensation] AshtonTS:
Known issue, please use search next time
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
ok, that's just plum above my pay grade.

Guess I'll check back in a few days or so.

Need the WiFi calling and I'll do some reading on how to fix files props.

Just curious, I assume to fix the file props is from within the phone and not a text editor via USB?

Very nice interface on the ROM though. Looks quite nice.
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
I have serached and read all the posts about the SD card speed but didn't finde any solution. I also have the problem that i takes several minutes for my SD card to be mounted after reboot. And the widgets that have data stored on the SD Card crashes until the SD Card is mounted.

I have formated my SC card from 4Ext, but it didn't help.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Use es file explorer to change permissions, they should be rwx r-x r-x

Just hold your finger on the file and select properties from the popup menu.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Found my first rom issue. The clocks go back tonight, but the clock in the status bar has frozen at 01:00. The system appears to know it's 7 minutes later though...
[HTC Sensation] fuel3100:
shutdown your phone and open mass storage to recovery boot. transfer files there.

[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Same here :), a reboot should fix it.
[HTC Sensation] urmystlkal:
One problem I've been having a lot lately is I will have full blue colored 3g or H signal on my phone and I will try and send a pic via MMS and as soon as I press send the signal will go away and turn grey. It will come back eventually but doesn't ever send the MMS. Any advice on that?

Edit: I've been noticing this for the past few builds and I'm currently on the 1027 build.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I rebooted and that did indeed get it past 01:00. It's now stuck at 01:17 instead though.

Why would the status bar clock be different to the system clock? I'd assume it would be driven off the system clock.

Edit, 5 minutes later and it's still showing 01:17. It's definitely stuck.
[HTC Sensation] Steffenstr:
I bet it will be stuck there until 02:00 when it will be turned back one hour. Let's hope it starts working again then.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Maybe so, odd though. Especially since it got stuck before it was due to go back anyway...
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
It's not a ROM issue, I'm with someone with a galaxy 5 running froyo and it has the exact same problem.
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
for some reason, ES wouldn't let me up a level to /system.

sOK. I need the WiFi calling for deep in Manhattans buildings.

I'll check back in a few.

Very nice work. Looks great, fast and better access to settings then some others.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
WiFi calling won't happen until tmo release a jb update, afaik that's not any time soon.
[HTC Sensation] Steffenstr:
Well it didn't set the clock back and it's still stuck. But after a reboot it's working now. Ticking along.

Can the wifi calling from the Galaxy Note 2 be ported to here, or does it have to be for a HTC phone? I know it's not a priorty for this Rom, but just curious. By the way love this ROM!

It is until I press send on a MMS message, then I completely lose signal.

Yep! All good here in Tampa! :cool:

Edit - Just checked out the MMS issue reported and I ran into the same issue. Both via WiFi and Mobile networks. Hit send and signal goes from 3-4 bars of 4g to no data signal and MMS never sends. Forgot to mention I'm on the newest 10/27 build.

I just installed and love it. my phone got a little slow with ICS but this was like a hardware change lol. Thanks a lot

p.s. i used clockworkmod and no problems yet. any reason why 4ext ?
[HTC Sensation] MattDrumz:
I don't think 4ext is required, it's just the most popular option so some people tell you to wipe from 4ext rather than from recovery. They're the same thing though, so you should be fine.
[HTC Sensation] EndoSurf:
I always thought 4ext was just a front end for CWM? Might be wrong though.
[HTC Sensation] Super-Android:
Superb Work Bruce.. Only thing missing is Camera. Den it will surely become my daily driver :D
[HTC Sensation] ArcticFox:
Any way to add FM Tuner to the rom?
[HTC Sensation] MattDrumz:
Well, when you create backups and stuff it saves it in the clockworkmod folder, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. I've never really looked into it either so I'm not sure. Either way, they both do basically the same thing.
[HTC Sensation] hdjx20:
no it needs sense framework along with all htc apps for that matter

Trebuchet is CyanogenMod's launcher that is basically the stock launcher with a few more features and customizations.

Bruce: did you see my yesterday morning's reply mentioning this?

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

Earlier post mentioning Jota+ editor: I never got it to save files on /system partition even though called from ES File Explorer with active root/mount options. For that I switched to Total Commander (also free) and it's pretty good built-in editor.

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

Settings -> Apps issue: the "On SD Card" tab displays marked/blue checkboxes ("Running") even for apps that are either not running and or haven't been started at all (just restored by TB).

Edit: nevermind, my bad

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

Gallery "bug" (installed newest Oct 27 build): there must be at least one image in the "/Pictures" folder (sd card) for the Gallery to list the "DCIM" images folder as well, in other word: no images in /Pictures will cause it to not show any others.

Edit: there seems to be something wrong with the media scan... was it removed? Gallery shows "blank" (black) for images in screenshots folder that I just had removed by ES file explorer. I don't even the see the media scan process anymore.
