Skipjacks, this thread has> 20000 posts. Dozens of people write, much more read and use.

P.e. there is in a germain forum a thread where native germans discuss bruce' Rom in german. Not only discuss, they use it.

Means, very lot of people uses the Rom of bruce. Me as well. I am very happy with the Rom of bruce and I hope bruce will continue his work.

Flow only tells us that in his opinions an older rom of bruce is more stable. I think that's ok. And because this is a forum its also ok to discuss where to aim the focus.

Compare to other roms how much user write in this thread ( and in the german forum it is similar) then you know that the Rom of bruce is one of the most used roms for sensation. Why it is that? Because the Rom of bruce is top! Stable, performance, battery life...

Isn't this are good news for Bruce and his excellent work ? :) that so much users of sensation use the Rom of bruce show the quality of the work of bruce.
[HTC Sensation] dollyaja:
Yup,but it works fine on this rom :)
[HTC Sensation] JG:
okay everyone settle down .You are free to choose whatever build you want !That is why he leaves them all up on the site for you to pick and choose.Nobody should complain or hint at complaining on something someone is taking out of his own time to do for us and he has complete creative control over his own roms ..If you dont like where the development is going just try another DEVS stuff.
[HTC Sensation] Flow:
I think everybody is right. Just see my comment like this: I think Bruce as a developer and his ROM have by far the most potential to be the best CM10 ROM for the Sensation.

It's just that sometimes a release from Bruce's ROM pops up that's really like almost perfect... and then after that there are a few that are less good...

Then I'm thinking where did it go wrong? Well apparently (someone explained on the previous page) trying to fix one thing might break other stuff. Ok that I can understand, but if you then continue you might be taking too many steps with fixing and breaking things at the same time and at one point you might loose the overview. This is not really based on facts, just my perception on the releases that have come out. But for instance: There was a ROM in October or November where the NOT working list only had 1 item on it... now it has 4 (not counting the Chrome thing, that was always broken).
[HTC Sensation] MattDrumz:
Hey guys, I'm having a bit of an issue.

I've been trying to install the Noozxoide EQ but it seems that there is no "Music Effects" option in Settings > Sound. Anybody know if there's a way to fix it, or should I just wipe and reflash the ROM?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] JG:
Alright enough said drop it. The mods got enough to clean in this thread already!
[HTC Sensation] urmothersluvr:
The option should be in Apollo or play music
[HTC Sensation] NightM@re:
anyone using sultan kernel with this ROM ?

I've just flashed today , and so far its amazing
[HTC Sensation] dollyaja:
Which version? I like bruce one for this one for daily,but for more performance then I go to sultans :beer:
[HTC Sensation] JG:
I tried it wasnt too impressed,not meaning no disrespect but I tend to stick with whats is supplied in the rom and recently tried tamcore s kernel I think it is called and liked that more then sultan.but my pick would be ultimately bruces for this ROM
[HTC Sensation] NightM@re:
thanks guys , i'll test the built in one for couple days if i wasn't satisfied i'll try something else

shame that AC!D mod doesn't work with this rom though :(
[HTC Sensation] blackvd:
Freezing & Reboots

Ever since 1/6 and even more so on 1/9 I've been getting random power offs, reboots, and freezing(biggest pain you have to pull battery). It even freezes on boot sometimes. Worst by far is the powering off at night as naturally I will not get my alarm clock or important calls.

I did a full wipe several times before flashing the ROM as I learned the transformation pack no longer works with this ROM. I am happy to post logs and whatever else needs posting if someone could please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

There is an acid mod in this op made for aokp that works on cm10 its in the downloads link
[HTC Sensation] emceephi:
Ugh, sad to hear that problems still persist. I'm running 12/21 which is the most stable it's ever been for me, but I still get the occasional freeze, system ui crash, random reboot, etc.

I love the rom though so I continue to use it. I think one of the biggest problems is google maps/navigation. It seems most of my freezes and system ui crashes happen when I'm trying to find directions. Anyone else experience this with Google maps?
[HTC Sensation] blackvd:
I can no longer use it now, won't stay on for more than a few minutes before rebooting, not sure what ROM to move to though. Any suggestions? I'm thinking one of these two; JBMIUIv4.1 #2.11.30 or [JB 4.1.2 CM-X] mEMBER's Choice v1.0.0 though it seems most are just using this ROM as their base?
[HTC Sensation] :
There's also this ROM which I have my eye on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1429953 (An enhanced version of the offical one).

The MIUI ROM I personally cannot deal with and will never ever use it again - though maybe you'll like it.

The ROM I linked actually has more posts than this one. So I don't know where people come up with who uses what ROM the most.
[HTC Sensation] blackvd:
Thanks for the info! I've never used MIUI before. I'm gonna try out AOKP as it was just posted above. If it doesn't work out I'll try mEMBER's Choice. Not a fan of Sense myself.
[HTC Sensation] consolation:
Try wiping cache & dalvik cache in recovery. This is the first build that I got occasional lockups on. Increasing minimum frequency and getting rid of separate screen-off settings (which I think are counter productive anyway) seems to have alleviated the problem, to a point where it's no longer an issue.

p.s. When upgrading without doing a clean install, always wipe cache and dalvik cache. It should be in the OP IMHO.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
I keep getting Notification bar freezes and "Out Of Space" errors when trying to install apps in the newest build. Anyone else getting them?
[HTC Sensation] blackvd:
I've completely wiped it before install. It keeps freezing and then rebooting every few minutes. Unusable. Here is something odd though. I switched to AOKP and I'm getting the same issues! This led me to believe it was Nova launcher as I had just switched to it. However it didn't pan out as the cause. I'm at a loss at the moment as I wasn't having these issues before 1/6.

Edit. Spelling. Also my WiFi seems to be going all the time.
[HTC Sensation] Bornin:
Try the 1/6 build again (nandroid?)

If the problem persists you might wanna try another battery

[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
That's only because Bruce didn't add the other things to the list until then. The vast majority of us knew what would and wouldn't work, so he didn't feel the need to add them until someone kicked off about it. The only thing listed as not working back then was mhl, to stop people asking repeatedly if it worked. It doesn't mean that there's more broken on the newer builds, it's the other way round. :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
It doesn't need to be in the OP because the installer script already does it. Clearing it again is pointless.
[HTC Sensation] glaeb:
bruce!! bruce!! i love your rom man!, i've been using it since august. but on the 9 jan build this happened

i was playing a game.. mobile shut down and restarted. and accu went from 80% to 14% :(

is this my battery that is dieing or the rom issue? what if i remove the battery data, will that help this problem?
[HTC Sensation] hunt:
Hello all,

I know its a foolish question to ask here but,

May I know which build of CM10 is having good stability,performance and good battery life as well ? :rolleyes:

Sorry but I can't test all the releases...as the numbers of releases are more..:(

so its quite obvious to ask..

I hope I'll get a positive feedback :)

Wiping Battery Stats is an urban myth ;) Check out this from Dianne Hackborn

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

latest build of this ROM is excellent for me (CM10-20130109-bruce), cannot find

any

issues at all yet.
[HTC Sensation] Flow:
It's the ROM, the battery has nothing to do with it.

I had exactly the same problem beginning of December... only a Full Wipe and clean install will get the phone back to life.

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

Even though I must admit the Anker 1900 battery which you can buy for less than 10 Euro or Dollar is better than the original battery... It is a ROM issue.
[HTC Sensation] Billyvnilly:
I am also getting frequent 'out of space' errors when trying to install apps.

I am also getting 1-2 restarts and at least 1 freeze a day. Freeze most often occur when I turn he screen on. Restarts are random, my phone will just be sitting there, and bam HTC white screen of death.

1/9 is less stable than prior builds, not sure why. I'd agree with others that november-december builds were a little better... I had far fewer problems.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
On a fresh topic altogether, no reboots or random restarts or problems with WiFi here (even though im on TMoUS). Nothing but JB awesomeness that challenges the legendary iPhoan UX - as I now know, since my wife got one of those for Xmas.

And I notice that none of the moaners about such things have figured out how to post a logcat or last_kmsg.

As so many have said... fantastic work, bruce!

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

Nonsense. Logcat or it didn't happen. last_kmsg, for SOD.
[HTC Sensation] JG:
You keep saying is a ROM issues with all these things ,So why is it that I am on the 1/9 build of this ROM and I have none of these issues!I really would like you to prove to me that it is a ROM issues with everything.Your last few posts make me feel like maybe you should go back to sense or try another ROM or like you said earlier I think stick with an older build ..And if you are on an older build then why do you reply to question and comments on newer builds if you aren't on it.
[HTC Sensation] Step-han:
I made a flashable .zip that adds a rngb modification. Its a entropy generator to provide significant lag reduction. It makes Bruce's rom so much more faster.

On the Play Store there is a app called ''Seeder'' it does the same but with this flashable .zip u dont need a app. Its always on if the screen is on and off if the screen is off.

http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/15847830/file.html

U can test it if it works for u;

- Go to terminal emulator

- run this command: watch -n 1 cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail

- it gets like 100-150.

- flash the zip

- run the command again (watch -n 1 cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail)

- its around 3500-4100, ur seeder/rngb works.

I've seen posts reporting a charging bug, but how about dangerously slow charging?

I plugged in last night at 12% and woke up 7 hours later at 26%. I rebooted and was at 74%.

The phone was charging for 7 hours, why wouldn't it be full?

Nothing. The issue's been debunked and closed:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42265
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Nope it's a not a placebo. It does make your phone more snappy. All it is, is that what the app was intended to did nothing. It's just that a byproduct of the app made the phone scale up faster as the entropy pool was filled every second. As the frequencies are at the higher end of the spectrum you get a faster phone. If you used seeder on performance governor you'd see no difference at all as it's running at full speed.

Kind Regards

[HTC Sensation] Flow:
Maybe because I had exactly the same problem with Bruce's ROM? Like I already mentioned?

Look, I'm no ROM developer or something, but I've been on XDA and messing around since the HTC Magician (I owned the Qtek S100) came out, which was in 2004 and always owned a HTC device since then (first with WinMo and later Android). And I've been installing ROM's since then.

So I would like to believe a little bit that I do know what I'm talking about.

Of course you don't háve to believe me saying it's an issue with the ROM, but I would suggest the guys who have the issues do a Full Wipe and a fresh install before they spend their money on a new battery. Just my advice. Take it or leave it.
[HTC Sensation] Step-han:
It is what it is but apps realy open faster and i have less lagg overall. (1080 mhz, badass balanced (modded for 1080 mhz) and NOOP schedlur)

The original topic is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987032

U can make the choice, flash it and try it. It works for me and a couple of friends from me. (with diffrent phones/tablets)

I used the seeder apk over several days but didn't notice anything significant tbh so I uninstalled. From the seeder thread (wish I had time to link) it does appear older phones+roms may see good results. I am also trying the sultan kernel but again nothing obvious. In both cases these changes gave a little boost but over a day+ I didn't see an improvement. I think we're close to seeing this phone getting maxed out. My wife had Galaxy Nexus and now a N4 both faster but they're up to date with supported drivers. Bruce's work keeps me here and when it times to move on he'll be getting sizeable donation cause he saved me looking for a partial upgrade:)
[HTC Sensation] :
Wow... the fanboyism in this thread is simply too much. I got to agree with flow even though I'm a noob to all this and have only tried builds since 03/01/13. But for me as a software tester for an industrial engineering portal at a huge international company I have to say that even though we can't force bruce to do anything we can still help him improve. I'm in contact to many developers and I know a new features destroys several other things. But developers shouldn't continue implementing new features but fixing the new issues. Developers do there on thing and if we as testers wouldn't show them what they might or might have not done wrong they would implement all features and need 4x time to fix all issues.This is simply how it goes. So flow isn't too wrong in my opinion and he also said it in a nice way in contrast to k-jack.

As I said I can't valid his statements at all since I'm new to this ROM. But I want to advocate for his contribution to make this ROM even better.

No significant improvement for our sensation
[HTC Sensation] Flow:
Dude, there have been hundreds of different issues with any CM10 ROM on the Sensation that a bunch of users experience and another bunch don't.

So what you wanted to say is: me and most other people don't have any of these problems... on

OUR PHONES.

Suddenly the amount of people complaining about battery issues is rising and you all think that's it's a coincidence that all of these people suddenly have dying batteries? Hahaha!

Seems much more logical to me there's something wrong in the ROM causing this.

And like I said already 2 times before: I had exactly the same battery problem and I fixed it by completely wiping and reinstalling.

For those having battery troubles, just for testing purposes, do a full wipe and install the CM10 ROM from here and see how your battery holds up...

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=pyramid

And if that doesn't help then consider installing another firmware/radio (but stick with HBOOT 1.27) and see if it helps.

I promise you all... only in very rare cases it will be the battery itself.

EDIT:

Here's a PG58IMG zip file with the newest firmware and radio but with HBOOT 1.27 instead of 1.29

http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/32797488/file.html

Firmware: 3.33.401.106

Radio: 11.76A.....blabla

Some users really need to stop thinking that reporting issues is some kind of disloyalty to Bruce, or a personal attack based on their choice of phone and ROM. ;)
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
...suddenly? Rising? You clearly have read very little of this thread....

... which suggests ...? Well, I don't know, and neither do you, since apparently you never bothered to even run a logcat or last_kmsg.

Them you insert spam for another ROM...oh, wait! That's the CM10 nightly, incorporating much of Bruce's work.

Come on, man. Either produce the logs or give up the whining.

And, hey, good luck with your hboot 1.27 experiments.

TMOUS HSDPA disconnect

Anyone else out there having issues with HSDPA on this ROM? It repeatedly attempts to connect to "H" HSDPA "4G" but disappears. I've tried the normal "fixes" for glitches. Reboot, remove batt, sim, memory, clean contacts on case, wipe cache. etc. etc.. also Updated firmware/ radio for good measure..

This only started today... CO-Worker with TMOUS SGIII has "4G" and good signal strength.

I have even formated and installed ROM from 12/21 and 01/09, still same glitch...

Soo.... I went to the T-Mobile store, check their display models are up and running, all's well and good with them, but nothing for me..

Last ditch attempt, install TMOUS Stock ROM latest version.... and HSDPA is up and running, no issues, go back to CM10, no dice, no HSDPA....

So now I'm running TMOUS Stock ROM.... and missing the taste of my jelly bean....

Anyone?

Just leave it alone already.Like I said it is his ROM to decide where Development goes !He reads his threads and people report to him issues .ultimately it is his decision what goes in his ROM ,I am sure he takes the complaints as well as compliments and addresses it the best he can ..He is good at what he does and does his best to please everyone but not everyone is gonna be happy with whee he takes his ROM and he fixes what he can I am sure.

so just leave it alone and quit trying to push your point so hard...No disrespect to you but let it go ..you already expressed your thoughts just because you get few people to agree with you that is great.I am glad for you but alot of us are very thankful to bruce for what he has done and what he is doing. knowing there is alot other roms on the threads and other sites as well to try if no longer happy here..So please lets get back on topic.

HSDPA is staying connected. :highfive:

Strange... How did you manage to think of that? I must know... is there a deviation logged somewhere for that that I missed? Because of the MHL issues in the known issues? MUST know!!!
[HTC Sensation] Flow:
Apparently you and a few other people have problems with READING.

While I am just trying to help people fix a problem all some here can say how perfect this ROM is and it is always the battery's fault.

Because a problem does not appear on YOUR phone, doesn't mean it can not appear on someone else's. Keep that in mind.

Just try to help each other or keep your fingers of your keyboard.

That's it.

Hey guys, since a lot of people are *****ing about the Rom i want to take up the cudgels for Bruce's hard work.

2 Days ago i asked about the sense of updating to the latest built cuz i had not a single Issue with the 12212012 rom at all, except the poor battery life..

What should i say? it was the best decicion ever, the 01092013 built gives me much as double battery time!

Again, on this Rom i do not face a single issue, Maps is working great, no FC no Reboots, its a great rom!

I assume the problems others are experiencing are caused by a dirty initial installation, i did an ext4 full wipe befor flashing the rom the first time, i left no traces from the former open sensation rom.

Maybe the people getting these issues should try a fresh / clean start, before blaming the rom?

Just my 2 cents, regards!
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
I generally only chime in these days if the voodoo level is making my head hurt, otherwise I just leave then to their "wipe dalvik, delete battery stats, spin round three times while singing the Macarena for amazing battery life luls" stuff. Far easier.

Oh for crying out loud...

A) Users reporting issues are not "*****ing" about the ROM, you do not need to leap to his defence. How on earth would a Dev know of bugs if no one reports them. Admittedly, more logs being attached would be handy; that's another issue.

B) Just because it works on your phone, it does not mean that others are experiencing problems due to user error. "It's working, yay!" posts are pointless and clutter up the thread, the devs can see the download numbers; it's assumed to be working unless you're reporting an issue.

C) If you want to thank or support a Dev, you have a "Thanks" button or, better still, make a donation. That's actually useful.

D) Do you seriously think it likely that all the users reporting issues have not tried a clean install? For example, I for one, have very few unlisted bugs; despite doing the last clean install sometime last year. In contrast, one of my GF's phones is an unstable mess with this ROM, no matter how thoroughly we wipe its bottom.

Edit: removed some snark, added B)... oops
