Runnin Oct 15 without any gui locks for several hours.

Maybe below helps someone... here's what I do right after fresh/clean install in the Settings and has

served me well in the past weeks across the different builds. It's just from personal experience, so please

don't flame me if your preferences are different. If some non-seniors can use this as a starting point, the better. :)

a) if NOT using System Tuner Pro

(or similar app):

1. Settings -> Performance -> Processor

as CPU governor select "lagfree", check "Set on boot", leave frequencies at 192/1512 (no further OC needed).

The default "badass" may be better for battery saving, but I see the GUI more fluid with lagfree.

2. Settings -> Performance -> I/O Scheduler

Change scheduler to "CFQ" and check option "Set on boot"; app loading times seem to be better subjectively.

b) IF using System Tuner Pro

(not sure what/if other apps offer for this):

- in STP's main screen click "CPU" and select "lagfree" as governor (dropdown titled "Gov.").

- click "Boot Settings" and enable "init.d" value for options "Re-apply SD tweak", "Re-apply CPU settings", "Force all CPU's online"

- in STP's main screen click "SD" and select "512" as "Cache Size" and "cfq" as "IO Scheduler"

(there are several other settings one can change, but I'm not using)

Continuing in Settings:

3. Settings -> Performance -> Memory management

Check both the 2 options "Allow purging of assets" and "Kernel samepage merging" (I'm not using zRam currently).

4. Settings -> Developer options

- check "Stay awake" at top of page (personal preference)

section "Debugging":

- check "USB debugging"

- uncheck "USB debugging notify"

section "Drawing"

- "Window animation scale", "Transition animation scale", "Animator duration scale":

I set all 3 of them to Off as these frequently cause(d) artifacts, waiting for this to be fixed in display drivers/kernel

(please correct me if I'm wrong)

- check "Disable HW overlays" (this option is still used it seems)

- check "Force GPU rendering" (haven't experienced negative effects using this yet)

Not performance related, but maybe usefull:

- check "Show All ANRs" as it may assist to cancel hanging bg apps occasionally (sometimes just wait a bit longer)

- check "Kill app back button" - found this quite usefull in case I wanted to make sure an app exits

5. (Accounts) Google (if connected to your Google account)

click your email address to view sync options (strange that here's no "Settings" option on menu button).

To save battery/bandwidth (and for the fact that I don't like syncing my stuff on foreign servers), consider

unchecking any or all Sync items. In the past the BetterBatteryStats showed a noticeable increase in

wakelocks the more items are selected for syncing.

6. Backup & reset

Personally I unchecked the "Back up my data" out of security concerns (call me paranoid...).

IIRC there have been also reports of this causing extensive wakelocks.

Sorry if OT, but above helped me in making the best experiences thus far with all of Bruce's great updates.
[HTC Sensation] alphaz1:
I've searched through the thread and haven't found a satisfactory answer. I didn't have any mms issue with sense-based ROM btw.
[HTC Sensation] dodjob:
Ok I'm on 10/13 and the phone won't go in deep sleep. I never had this problem until now and I flashed EVERY version of this ROM since the 08/23's one with only a wipe cache + dalvik. never full wipe.

I don't know how much I flashed but it's a lot. It's maybe time for me to finally wipe my partition and do a clean install... or wait the next one and flash it again like I did nearly daily since the day I discover this ROM and his amazing developer.

For me, except this new disagreement the ROM had following "glitches":

-YouTube glitches a lot (even more since 10/13 actually so much that it's for me not more usable)

-got exactly the same kind of glitches with MX player. And no, there are not the "famous" wild glitches but more strange artifacts like the half of the screen remain on the last picture frame and the other half continue to play the movie with a artistic transition with psychedelic colors :)

-I did get some weird reboot with the status bar's WiFi switch (I can count them on my hand in two month though ^^)

-The auto-focus of the camera is unfortunately completely failing when the light is low, I didn't succeed to get a clear picture in completely dark places (could be because the flash doesn't work when auto-focusing...) And again when an Object is too close or too small it will focus on the object in the background... The sensation's camera is one of the best i ever seen on a phone. I would sooo love to see it working again like in the sense roms :/

-the FFC camera's preview is disformed if you choose the 16/9 setting for the back camera.

-I did get the strange noise when calling. But just hang off and call again to have it cleared and it also happened let say - 4 or 5 time since I used this rom...

-I use holo laucher HD because in my case it's really faster than the trebuchet launcher. (specially with accurate transition speed settings) but reaching the home screen overview is completely laggy (remember me of a sense rom doh! :D)

-the dsp manager work only with the appolo player. This is bothering me because I'm pretty sure that one of the coolest thing in DSPM was that it worked for any app installed on the phone.

-I have noticed that the refreshing (tracks/pictures list) routine of the music player and the Gallery are really slow. I mean, sometimes I have to wait about a half an hour to have it appearing in my playlist/gallery. Manual refresh don't do a **** about it.

Also trying to play a song directly from Esexplorer in appollo (when still not scanned by the app) were, in the past, resulting in playing another song and now simply don't do nothing.

Ooook that was ALL what I could say negatively about this rom. Some will think it's a lot.. I absolutely not. The battery life is crazy good, this rom is smooth and fast as hell. I am everyday impressed by the work of Bruce and cannot thank him enough for his amazing job. I will NEVER get back to a sense rom and I will continue to flash every build you make man aaaaaand continue to make my friends with their double more expensive phones completely bluffed by the smoothness and the speed of this ROM :)

Thanks again,

Gruß,

H.

Problems with used kernel (boot loop)

Hi,

My replacement Sensation seems to be very picky about kernels.

So far I have only successfully runned the stock kernel from 3.33 and the kernel from the AOKP JellyBean build from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1828250 (however, only the one from the 25.9.2012 build, the newest one does not work).

What happens with your ROM is:

- wipe all except SD card (4ext)

- flash it with 4ext

- reboot

- boot loop (white HTC screen fro about 10 seconds, 2 seconds black, and so on)

If I replace boot.img and lib/modules/bcmdhd.ko (for WIFI) with the one from "AOKP Jelly Bean [Sep 25]" it works correctly.

This kernel version, the one which is working, is "3.0.36-g7290c7f echen@aegis-i7 #2 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 1 00:25:26 PDT 2012" and it seems to have a default max clock speed at 1188MHz.

Has somebody an idea, why he kernel included here does not work for my sensation. Eventually my Sensation does not allow higher clock speeds than default.

I really like CM10, so I hope somebody can help me.

[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Just FYI, if you want to speed up opening Google Now, disable as much of the Phone Search stuff in Settings as you can. Mine opens almost instantly now- only drawback is that you lose the ability to open apps or play music, depending on what you turn off.

Taking back my words.. statusbar hung up twice.. did go back to 13.. looking forward to the next update..

Love this Rom!
[HTC Sensation] roccatkone:
Same here. My phone sometimes goes into deep sleep, but it's very active while the screen is off. I mean, in 4 hours I pulled out the phone 10 times, but in the meanwhile it was "alive" nearly half of the time. Nexus 7 with same apps but at stock JB goes into deep sleep.
[HTC Sensation] kupo5131:
I'm getting data drop outs on 13/10, never had a problem with data before. Seems to drop most frequently when using Pulse so possibly an issue with Pulse + rom combo?

I'll do a full wipe for next release and let you know if its working again or not. I'm on Three UK.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Are you perhaps S-on? (check it in bootloader)

@Catnap and others, my phone deep sleeps like it should on 13/10 build. Maybe rogue app?
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
So in BetterBatteryStats, you see an entry for Deep Sleep under the Other category? Because this suddenly appeared with either the 10th or 12th build and nothing's changed apart from that.

[Edit] I should clarify; I'm not on 13/10 because of the graphical problems.
[HTC Sensation] riverajuan:
I just have a quick question in regards MMS picture messaging.

I have been trying to send pictures and can't never send any. I am om ver 10/10.

Does anyone have any idea on what is causing this problem or have the same problem?

I have red through the thread and people have posted this issue before, but no responses as to

what is the cause or the solution.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance - Great ROM by the way kudos to bruce

Exchange Calendar

I can't get my Exchange Calendar to show up, although the e-mail is functioning normally.

I tried both the stock Agenda/Calendar app and Business Calendar but neither of these show the account I added, also not after a reboot.

Has anyone else access to their Exchange calendar?
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
have you checked the Sync calendar options in the exchange account?i have my exchange mail sync and all is working fine including the calendar..
[HTC Sensation] sanderg:
When looking into the account, calendar syncing is enabled. It also seems to sync (although it takes less than a second).

It's just that the calendar is not visible anywhere.
[HTC Sensation] ac_utd:
Great rom. Thanks, Bruce.

I'm not a great fan of the stock camera and stock calendar (mainly widget). Can anyone recommend alternatives?

Also, facebook sync is a pain. I believe Haxsync is a possible solution. Are there any others?
[HTC Sensation] ratchetnclank:

Facebook contact sync is good and does high res photo's.
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
I use simple calendar widget, it can be themed, has many options and works great for me, unlike the stock calendar widget, which never seems to show any calendar events/reminders.

[HTC Sensation] sanderg:
After removing/re-adding account and some patience, the calendar shows up!
[HTC Sensation] big_sw2000:
Just thought i would share a screenshot with you guys.

This is an amazing rom. As you can tell ive alway beem a Sense fan. Hence the Elegancia wallpaper. But this is so fast, and i dont see any real obivios prolems yet. And im enjoying the non Sense of this rom.

[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
This is interesting to me as I continue to try and figure out the dreaded T Mobile data instability bug in the US.

Its starting to become apparant that there are a lot of data issues around the world. Could it be that the authentication process that is plauging T MObile US users causing blinking data is also causing different issues on other carriers around the world?

First off I'm assuming you are actually in Malaysia as your profile says. (Or at least not in the USA) So the fact that you have a MMS issue with AOSP and not with Sense tells me that there are quirky data issues all over the place related to the AOSP framework.

But that's 2 mobile data related issues that exist in AOSP and not in Sense.

I could be way off the mark on this thought. I'm just trying to tie this all together.
[HTC Sensation] blenton:
just want to ask.. maybe someone knows.. what about official CM10 for sensation? when is coming out?

btw this rom is great.. but still a lot of bugs.. i use it every day :)
[HTC Sensation] alpha_dro:
For calendar, I recommend Android Pro Widgets. The design is simple and elegant. The paid version also includes different skins.
[HTC Sensation] Chefkoch_81:
I am S-OFF, at least the bootloader says so.

I tried some other ROMs, for example OpenSensation, where it starts OK after 3 tries, but is extremly unstable (no more than 1 minute working without reboot).

So most of the time its straight bootloops and sometimes a ROM starts but highly unstable. With this ROM its bootloop straight away.

Is there a way to set the maximum clock speed to 1188 MHz fixed in the kernel (without having the ROM actually running)?

BR
[HTC Sensation] alpha_dro:
For calendar widget I recommend Android Pro Widgets. The design is simple and practical.

I also recommend Facebook Contact for syncing hi-res contact photos.
[HTC Sensation] DasGensu:
I cannot connect to 802.1X networks, always gives me an authentication error.

EAP Method is PEAP, Phase 2 Authentication MSCHAPv2

happens in both our networks at my university (one of them is EDUROAM which is supposed to work at several european universities)

What might cause this?

/im on 13/10
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Or maybe the data instability is spreading.

Is your data dropping out and disapearing completely? Or is is blinking on and off?

I don't think we've seen the blinking problem in the UK yet.
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
@Skip: just FYI: I can send camera images by MMS on carrier Vodafone in Germany without problems. Is it more related to TMO maybe?
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
So your bootloader says Revolutionary? Or does it say "Unlocked"?
[HTC Sensation] gs111:
I was wondering if it is spreading too...

I'm running the 10/12 build in Canada on the Telus network (HSPA+, same frequencies as AT&T in the US). I actually noticed the data instability bug for the first time over the weekend. I had the data go out while I had good service level.

I don't know if this is the same as you are experiencing, but what I got was the little H was showing, but no data services would work. A reboot fixed the problem up.

I've never experienced that before, so it might be a co-incidence... but I thought I would report it anyway.
[HTC Sensation] Kameeeleon:
Regarding the 'force all cpus online' option in System Tuner - is this required to get cpu1 working at all? I just want it to kick in under heavy load like it's supposed to but I can't see that it's ever on - I would force it on but will that not prevent it from sleeping when I'm just browsing the internet?

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
That seems different. In the US the H blinks on and off. Yours could just be a one time snafu. That happens.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Tmo USA is where the data problems happen the most. I dont think there are many problems witg Tmo Europe
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
I haven't seen issues caused by it yet. However, CPU1 isn't always utilized if you look in the CPU monitor, so don't be disappointed.

When running multiple apps you should see it's frequencies bump up eventually.

Just a update on my data drop experience.

After I flashed the TMOUS fix ROM I was running fine for about 3 days. Yesterday I went into an area with no service (underground), when I resurfaced it wouldn't connect and started doing the blink on blink off data issue again. :crying: Restarting didn't help.

After about an hour or two, it went away and has been fine since.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Where are you? And what carrier?
[HTC Sensation] srodriguez511:
I'm on TMO-US. On the east coast.
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Hopefully with this so called T-Mobile and Metro PCS merger ,maybe the data problems will be resolved finally
[HTC Sensation] emomike25:
This is quite disturbing! And now, to have it affecting people all over the world, makes it that much more frustrating. The last time I had this issue, it corrected itself within 24 hours. (its now going on 4 days). The worst of it is the fact that I can only use a Sense4 rom.... Which wouldn't be bad had I not fallen in love with AOSP. (Almost like having to leave Android and go back to BlackBerry). :(

Skipjacks, how long has your phone been doing this?
[HTC Sensation] oscarba:
I'm on the east coast on TMO as well but have no data issues, haven't had any since the beginning.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
From what I understand the new network will merge the Metro users on to the T Mobile network, not the other way around. So nothing would change as far as the network goes.

Also, you are looking at a couple years away from that merger being finalized. Multi billion dollar transactions aren't done with a quick review of a 1 page contract and a signature. They take months and months to create the terms, then more months to review them and negotiate. Then a couple months for FCC approval. Once the merger is legally complete, you're looking at another year or two after that before you start to see widespread technolgy and equipment conversions.

By that time you'll be enjoying your Galaxy S5.

Is anyone having troubles with YouTube on the 10/13 build? Its impossible to watch videos on mine because they are really glitchy
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Nope, works fine for me as long as I'm viewing videos using the app. If the browser opens a frame on the page instead then sometimes they're glitchy still, not all the time though.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Well let' snot get ahead of ourselves and create a panic. I'm not sure we're seeing the same issue world wide. There's just some scattered reports of unspecific data problems on UK and Canadian networks. At least one of those sounds like an entirely different issue.

As for my phone, this started at the beginning of September for me. I've had periods of a few days where it doesn't work. Periods of an hour where it does work. And periods of 7-10 days where everything worked perfectly.

That's what's weirdest, that it works sometimes, and with no pattern. It's not like it goes out when the towers are over loaded with data traffic (as I've had the error at 3 am on a Tuesday), or every day at 4pm because of daily network maintenance, or that it never works at all. All those would make sense.

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Yes. It's glitchy. It's not you. There's nothing you can do to fix it other than wait for a new update of the ROM.

About Deep Sleep in Oct. 15 builds: though it's no longer downloadable, I have it running more smoothly than previous builds!

Since last boot the Deep Sleep is 52 out of 59 minutes, which is not that bad. For the same time period the "PowerManagerService" only shows 21s in the Kernel Wakelock page. This is a huge enhancement over the previous builds. Thanks to Bruce!

Edit: I did experience one status bar lockup, though, after having made the screenshot and had to reboot. Meh...
[HTC Sensation] gs111:

Hey Skip, don't take this the wrong way but it might be more helpful if you make a thread and stick it in your sig to discuss the data dropping problem that seems to stem beyond just Bruce's build.

Previously it read "Revolutionary" on the top, that was when I tested with the universal firmware. After that I tried if the stock firmware works, thats when it changed to the hboot which it is now.

But only "S-OFF" is important, or not?
