CRT animation is working fine for me, and that is the most important thing about any ROM. Now if only I could get some good old fashioned resistor whine.

Great as always Bruce.

Obviously i dont have a log cat on this, but since moving to cyanogenmod i get lots of reports from people they can't hear me or its a bad line.

This only seems to happen when calling landlines.

Could just be me, wanted other peoples thoughts.
[HTC Sensation] lovendsuicide:
Working great here, scrolling is a lot better after applying the patch... youtube seems to be working ok also.

Thanks for sharing.
[HTC Sensation] M@rshy:
I keep changing my CPU min and max to OnDemand 192 and 1188, but every now and again it gets set to 192, 192 or 384, 384. I think it is only happening when I reboot, even though I have it set to apply on boot. I also have the same settings in Rom Toolbox with profiles turned off.

I tried searching the thread but vague keywords are vague.

Hey does anyone know if you still have the flash the camera fix on the new build?
[HTC Sensation] pachecolljk:
I am not using it and the camera is working properly. I had it installed on the Sep 10th build, but not for the Sep 12th build.
[HTC Sensation] beekiller1:
OK thanks bro :thumbup:

Hi,

some times i have the problem that browser fc's :( has anybody sampe problems and a solution ? clean cache etc. testet and not working
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Hey, to those who couldn't tweak the brightness of their backlit buttons, what was the problem exactly?

It seemed to work just fine for me:

1. Navigate to sys / devices / platform / leds-pm8058 / leds / button-backlight /

2. Open "brightness" in a text editor.

3. You should see a value of 255. I changed to 100, saved, and immediately my backlights dimmed to a good level (they were good before so). Also tried "20" through "100" and it was damn near impossible to see any light coming out.

-----------

I read somewhere, for another phone mind you, that the value will likely reset upon reboot. You can create a script to change the values and have it run at boot (google how to do that).
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
What kernel is giving the best performance and decent battery life. Thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] CactusProtist:
Try them out for yourself and see what works best for you.
[HTC Sensation] R2D2_NZ:
I'm liking interactive. Seems to be a decent balance of responsiveness and battery life.
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
That wasn't what he asked but evidently he was asking about governors.

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

That would make a decent app or script. You could probably get a few donations if you made it.
[HTC Sensation] R2D2_NZ:
Must need coffee. How I read kernel as governor will ever be a mystery to me, so thanks for spotting that and I'll skulk away now.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
I was just wondering if the kernel that comes with the Rom is the best one is all. Thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] didadi:
occasional hang

I've installed this ROM.,coming from Elegance ROM.. most of the stuff works, as said, with known camera issues (don't care). But there is one nasty bug that is killing me :). Occasionally my phone hangs up with all the 4 lights on the bottom are lit. Pressing power, volume rocker up-down has no effect. I have to rremove and replace the battery. This was not happenign earlier, but with JB Rom it is. Can somebody please tell me if its a known issue? If yes,is there a fix?

thanks for awsome rom..
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
It depends on you and how you use the device and what is important to you in terms of performance.

In other words you have to try them all and see which is best for you.

However, Bruce only uses the stock kernel and the rom is designed around it. Any other kernels are more of an unknown in terms of how they will run the rom. And Bruce doesnt want error reports if you use an alternate
[HTC Sensation] Googa:
I find the default kernel to work well enough, at least. haven't tried tamcore's kernel for a while now.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Are you on the latest update?

That was a common problem like 3 weeks ago. But I havent seen it happen on recent builds nor heard many reports of it from others. If you arent on one of the mid September builds try updating.

If you are in the latest build try a full wipe and fresh install because this problem should be resolved.
[HTC Sensation] didadi:
thanks for the reply.

I did a full wipe and using Sep12th update. I've installed the gapps,camera fix as well. For me pretty much everything

works. May be I'll redo the process again and see if gets fixed. When you mean full wipe, I use the option in the recovery. (wipe+factory reset). Is that good enough? Or is there any specific option I need to use?

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Heh,I saw a nightly today as well. cm-10-20120915-bruce2728-pyramid.zip. I'm going to update to this

and see if the problem goes away.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Fairly sure that's the option which doesn't wipe the /system partition, hence why your problem isn't going away.
[HTC Sensation] Tabtoub:
Thanks for this finding, but the problem is that it should be done every reboot, could you make a script that we put in init.d folder that changes the value on every boot?

Anyone can confirm?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] smoothy666:
Iv just downloaded. Question, I'm running 9.12. If I try this patch now and then put the 9.15 ROM will I need to re flash your patch or not needed or not work for 15?

I did a full wipe and installed, and can't seem to find the power widget. Looked for it on the 12th build. Anyone know where it is so I can push it to this? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Rushed:

[HTC Sensation] rojovilla:
but it's on the server...and the md5 has been confirmed a few posts ago
[HTC Sensation] R2D2_NZ:
9/15 installed.

In case anybody is wondering, You Tube video plays faultlessly with perfect audio in both regular and HD quality.

Camera is working, as is playback of recorded video with sound.

In call volume working.

Wi-Fi, data and gps all working perfectly. Crt animation works.

And it's too soon to be angsting over whether battery life is any good, but no doubt the question will be asked regardless.
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Crt doesnt always work for me especially when the phone goes to sleep automatically
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Good idea, though I wouldn't want donations for such a simple script :p hope somebody gets use out of it though.

To dim or completely turn off the backlit buttons, download the linked file, throw in /system/etc/init.d, remove .bin extension by renaming, and set permissions to -rwx-r-x-r-x then of course reboot.

-Right now it is set to 0 just so it's easy to tell if it worked or not. However, one can open it and comment out the line with said value and choose one of the others.

-0 is off, 255 is max brightness. I also put 220, and 160 but you can edit any values to whatever you like.

Thank you very much! I set it to 100 ;)

[HTC Sensation] rojovilla:
I performed clean wipe and still had to flash camera fix. No FFC (please search). R2D2_NZ is spot on for everything else.
[HTC Sensation] webstar1:
Can anyone link me a battery saving kernel and any other mods there using to conserve battery? The drain is too much for me :S. Down to 10% in 5 hours
[HTC Sensation] rojovilla:
What's wrong with that?
[HTC Sensation] doogoshly:
i noticed the same thing since flashing the 0912 update
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
What were you getting before? You know, the battery drainage also depends on signal quality as well, and the apps that are running the background. To me, 10% in 5 hours without touching the phone at all is pretty good..
[HTC Sensation] aidanski:
Ok, it's still a brilliant rom regardless.
[HTC Sensation] M@rshy:
Camera issue is still there. I haven't noticed anything else, although I haven't been using it much today.
[HTC Sensation] rickadlee:
I think he means the phone is displaying 10% left after 5 hours. Which is not good.
[HTC Sensation] webstar1:
I only have 10% left as the guy has stated above. In that 5 hours I only played 30 minutes worth of light gaming and the rest of the time it was idle
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
In that case, that's horrible battery life, almost back at the G1 days when we'd be lucky to get 8 hours out the stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] krugm0f0:
Weird. On 9.15 i get an error when trying to make calls. Phone "App not installed".
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
The cause of what? I haven't read anything about a negative number...the values are 0/off and 255/max and before I messed with it, the value was already at 255. At least I think so.
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
Anyone else have corrupt graphics in SNES9X EX 1.4.32? I'm on the 15/09 build and I've also tried with TamCore's latest (02/09) kernel. I've not had any luck with earlier builds of CMX either.

[HTC Sensation] idtheftvictim:
What was your screen on time? I have been getting awesome battery life on 9/15 build
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
sorry, misunderstood your earlier post, "-0 is off" and you meant the - to signal the new line.

CM7 and CM9 had a -1 value to shut the backlight off.
[HTC Sensation] wicketr:
First thing I noticed is your phone is awake waaaay too much when your screen is off. You must have some garbage apps installed that are eating up your battery. Try and figure out which one is the culprit.

Secondly, your battery is dropping like a rock when your screen is on. Either you are running at full brightness (outside much) or something is wrong with your screen.
[HTC Sensation] beekiller1:
No bro I have it on auto I think its my battery its just weared down
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
Download better battery stats and see what is eating it up. If it's the battery then you'll also see how much charge you're actually getting also.
[HTC Sensation] beekiller1:
From the market?
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Haha yeah that threw me off..but yeah, I didn't know it was -1 previously. It could very well be that and when I set it to 0 it was just so dim it looked off. For me anything below 100 I can't see anyways.

[HTC Sensation] swissmountain:
Thank you, this works fine. The only drawback is, that now the lights stay on all the time, even when the phone is turned off! Wouldn't this drain the battery, or is it such low currents that it won't affect it? I'll have to check this...

No way to have the lights off when you switch the phone off?
[HTC Sensation] big fancy:
Maybe an xda app bug but pictures in these threads don't show up until I turn the phone to landscape mode. They stay when I turn phone back to portrait mode but never load until I turn the phone.
[HTC Sensation] Ultramanoid:
Good suggestion, but the device is almost new, and also it didn't have this problem with other roms -- checked with a nandroid backup of CM9 and it was fine, charging as AC, not USB.

I got an extended battery with the device by the way, so I I'm lucky I never had and probably will never have the problem with the loose space, reboots, etc, that requires putting a piece of something in there, this battery is really tight.

Anyway, fixed in the latest build, got AC again, woohoo ! :victory:

It was nuts, to leave the phone charging all night and pick it up in the morning with 76%... Even for USB that's awfully slow after so many hours.

It's nice to see the stopwatch implemented in the clock too. One app less to worry about !
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Inervigil has fixed the wonky can preview, I'll try upload a build later if I get time, really busy this weekend.

Been using this rom for a while now and its great, except I have one issue where I cant send or receive MMS picture messages. The app says "messaging stopped working" when I try sending and when receiving it just says downloading but I never get the message. Anyone got any ideas?

Camera not working

Hi,

with the new version 15Sept my camera is no longer working.

When I start camera, got the error message, that gallery was closed.

Any idea, how I can solve this? Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] SK1LLS:
Is there a way to have a background picture on the status bar? Or can it be added to this ROM Bruce :).
[HTC Sensation] n3xas:
I have some kind of brightness problem. When I set the brighness to 100% it seems it just goes up to ~70% and no more. I am sure it should be brighter. When I change it to 0% I can barely see anything even in a dark room. It started a few days after flashing 9/12 build. Today I flashed 9/15 hoping it will resolve itself, but no luck.

Can anyone help?

EDIT: Btw I don't use auto brightness.
[HTC Sensation] slopppy:
I put my phone into auto brightness on Friday night and the battery just tanked. Went from 100% to around 50% in about 4-5 hours with minimal use. Charged it back up, turned off auto brightness and all good ever since.

I know it's not scientific, but just my casual observation that something in auto brightness might be borked. Not a big deal for me, but if auto is killing your battery, maybe turn auto off for a day and see if it helps.

Edit: oops, forgot to quote, but that was directed at beekeeper :)
[HTC Sensation] Tabtoub:
Thank you for all your efforts mate!
[HTC Sensation] jonsharky:
Same issue experienced.. would the camera fix patch on the site work on this?
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
So I did a wipe & install with the 0915 build to test a few things. All I did was add my Google account (no backup/restore option).

1. "What's That Song" widget has definitely vanished.

[Edit] Seems What's That Song is region-locked. If you want it back, use Titanium to unfreeze "Google Sound Search".

2. YouTube isn't quite right yet; all the videos I watched had artifacts every few seconds. Doesn't matter which quality options or Developer options I played with.

3. Google Now still won't set an alarm in x minutes time- it will however set one for a specific time.

I should point out that this is as fresh as it could be- only GApps and a Google account were installed, nothing else.

[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
I've actually moved away from auto brightness and noticed my battery life got significantly better. It seems the phone doesn't sleep when it's activated but again, as you were saying, very casual observation.
[HTC Sensation] flash5000:
A good alternative that's been working for me is the app 'Lux auto-brightness'. It also allows you to set negative brightness values for certain light levels, which darkens the screen and is really a pleasure for the eyes when you use your phone in total darkness. Furthermore, the app can be controlled by Tasker.

I'm happy with it and have been using it on GB, ICS & JB without issues.
[HTC Sensation] kualmente:
1. Yes, outside US it is frozen at each reboot.

2. Youtube is working fine to me (only very little artifact for one or two seconds). I set Ondemand Min 192 - Max 1188 (also to test if any battery life improvement)

3. "set alarm in 10 minutes worked for me". Just tried. Weird!
[HTC Sensation] Euroman28:
The current version of the rom is good but there are still some battery-issues and with the use of Chrome browser. The screeen flickers while scroling on some websites and when you place Chrome into landscape mode.

Small thing: Then the phone is rebooted and it enters Android a box in bottom part of the screen says "Defualt" insteed of "Default".
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
It wasn't always like this though- it used to be persistent through reboots, up until a build or two ago.

Yep, that's the artifacts I'm talking about. So it's not fine, it's still buggy.

:(
[HTC Sensation] kualmente:
1: True. I noticed as well. With recent builds the wiget disappears at each reboot (cannot understand why it should be region linked though) :(
[HTC Sensation] djglow1:
Whenever I'm on the phone with headphones on and I receive a call and remove the headphones I get a really horrible sound on the speakers when I answer. Can anyone confirm?

Do we need to put the badass script if we are coming from previous rom?

[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
One of the issues with auto brightness is that the levels are set really high. So the screen is alot brighter at each light level than you really need.

Ive adjusted the levels lower since the cm7 days (you know....way back to 2011) and seen alot better battery with auto brightness than most.

Also you have to give the rom a couple charge cycles before you really know if the battery is draining fast.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Anyone running a anker battery with the latest update.I was just wondering what kind of battery life your averaging.
[HTC Sensation] Moh Kohn:
As people are taking about Google Now I shall tell myexperience. I have used the cracked google now on ARHD and Venom and both behaved differently than this ROM.

I receive far fewer notifications with this version, weather only shows in google now and not in drop down area, I still see navigation suggestions for things you have searched for but things like home and work never show in notification only when you open google now.

Google now definitely "feels" different in this ROM but I have no official JB ROM to compare it too.

CMX
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Bruce, just to let you know now the hw overlays are back I reenabled the three egl/graphics related entries you had commented out in build.prop and it made things a hell of a lot smoother :)
[HTC Sensation] kualmente:
Google ears widget is a different issue. Its is not a paid application.

It is frozen at each reboot (well, it disappears from display because it is frozen) and should be un-freeze with Titanium Backup and seems to be a known problem for devices outside US.
[HTC Sensation] aamir123:
How did you adjust the levels manually?
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
You must not have it set up right then. I get cards in my notifications shade Constantly. I always have one for work and one for home when I leave the house. It doesn't matter if I just run up to the store, within 2 mins of being there I get a card telling me eta home with traffic conditions. I get cards telling me when the redsox are about to play, when they score, final game and their next game. The weather card is always there but is usually covered by another card, it just says 4 cards but my weather stays in the shade separate from the cards.

And it never fails that if I search for anything I get a card for it.

Maybe you need to check your settings and make sure you have the priorities set right and that you've given gnow, search and latitude the correct permissions to work.

Dammmnnn. 9.15 with DragunKorr kernel and the intellidemand governor, smoothest the ROM has ever been for me, with the best battery life, too. Only thing missing is the FFC, haha.
[HTC Sensation] juanshop:
Is this rom getting more stable ? I had to go back to cm9 because the system would always crash and I had to pull battery and stuff. Is the from now a days more stable ?
[HTC Sensation] Roladriz:
I'll have to try this setup. I'm new to PA so this is exciting for me.
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
You could've picked a few recent pages to read and answered this yourself. Short answer is yes, it's very stable and I haven't heard of anyone having to pull battery in a few builds. Anything wrong with it now is minor and every day the kinks get ironed out.
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Yup, still need to put in the badass script even if you aren't doing a full wipe.

I know what you're referring to and I had those levels adjusted previously. Again, it was a super casual observation, never really put much thought into it but since someone else mentioned it, thought it was worth putting in my opinion.

Settings -> Display -> Automatic backlight -> Use custom -> Edit other levels
[HTC Sensation] hks1234:
Installed camfix and it's working now.
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
Do you think you could post a screenshot of the CM7 values? I thought I had saved a screenshot for backup when modifying the levels in CM7 myself but I can't find it.
[HTC Sensation] Omertron:
Just flashed to the Sept-15 ROM

Camfix is undone despite being flashed on the Sept-12 ROM - Not sure if this is or isn't supposed to happen

I tried the google now "Set alarm for 20 minutes test" and this doesn't work for me either.

Just my 2p worth. Both of those issues I can deal with, this is still an excellent ROM
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Holy crap I didn't notice that yesterday. Thanks for pointing it out though. Well ianoob made a suggestion that I'd like to try but not sure how to yet, in the meantime, try this:

-Go into system/etc/init.d and open 85ledlevel

-Rename every instance of "brightness" to "max_brightness" (hint: it's there 6 times...though if you are feeling a little lazy, you can just edit one with the value you want and never use the other values)

-Choose a dim but still visible value to test, keep others commented out.

-Reboot

The lights seem to be turning off appropriately. That's so strange that I didn't notice it the other day - could have sworn they were shutting off but I could see today they clearly weren't.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
The cm7 values are long since forgotten. This is what Im using now, but its a work in progress to tweak it until Im really happy. Plus its a personal preference thing so your perfect settings may differ from mine.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
One thing I noticed with the 9/15 build is temperature.
