I've been lurking around for a while now.

How is the stability of this ROM? Is it suitable for daily use? I mean its labeled beta but that can mean barely usable to rock solid.

Also, the issues in the first post no longer list hardware overlay as an issue. Is this because its implemented or because its disabled by default (as I read above)?
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
So for a while now I've had incredibly slow data transfer rates between my PC and the phone when used as Mass Storage.

I'm currently copying the 10/08 build now to my phone and it goes no more than 1MB/sec.

Does anyone else experience this?
[HTC Sensation] trident167:
Most people here use it as a daily driver. Most if not all of the little bugs have been eliminated. The only hurdle left I believe is the front facing camera. I highly recommend it as most others would too.
[HTC Sensation] ninjasalad:
IMHO, this Rom is as close to stable as it gets. Good battery life, silky smooth, and damn near everything working. Only thing is that front facing camera isn't working, so if that's a big deal for you, I'd advise against this Rom.

As for hw overlays, it doesn't need to be disabled video playback and everything has been working perfectly for some time now.

Just want to thank Bruce again for all his work! Running the latest build, superb as always!
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
can you provide me with the Boot.img file?
[HTC Sensation] cboy007:
completely stable. beta basically because of front facing camera not working. everything else way better / smoother than ICS in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] Notarzt23:
Maybe you should ad this hint to the first post. it seems to be asked every 5th page or so.
[HTC Sensation] huzaifah29:
Is the focus now on front camera or are the other issues and bugs being worked on instead?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
I'll look at the FFC but I'm not gonna spend all the time I have on it.

The BT wake lock needs looking at too.
[HTC Sensation] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Its not only the front facing cam. I had small issues with the hw overlay (graphical issues in youtube, mx player, alarmdroid). Laggy in some games. On power off the phone was acting a little weird. The phone was nearly always "on", if one can trust the battery indicator (although systemtuner tells me that the phone was sleeping). Seems like an hosted exchange account causes higher battery drain (and wakelocks?), although the battery life was nearly ok.

It has improved a lot, but it is still a beta. You have to test and decide for yourself if you wanna run it as a daily driver. I'm back to OpenSensation, for now, but waiting impatiently for the RC state of this rom! And about smoothness, I didn't see any difference to OpenSensation, as it is already smooth ;)
[HTC Sensation] XirXes:
I don't know if I've experienced the BT wake lock but I do experience BT usability bugs all the time. I can rarely get my phone to auto connect to my a2dp bluetooth automatically on any aosp type rom after 4.0. Here is a failed connection in dmsg, plus the full one it was quoted from.

I've posted additional logs on the CM bug tracker.

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=6120

edit: Added a log of a successful connection started from the BT settings pane.
[HTC Sensation] BobbyHill:
Nope, pretty standard setup. It only seems to happen with some apps though. Scanner Radio stops, Tune-In Radio does not. Downloads I start with the browser stop too.
[HTC Sensation] euqiddis:
Just updated to 08/10 build from 20/09 and Wifi doesnt turn on anymore, anyone else having this problem?
[HTC Sensation] Domingoknows:
Stickman89, the dev on the JB MIUI has bt wake lock fix that he has since baked into his Rom. Maybe he can help with the issue here?
[HTC Sensation] MattDrumz:
Ah, I wasn't aware of this. I switch ROMs too often to notice little things like that. I'm not really sure what happened there then.
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
1. how do you open the camera??

2. how do you enable battery percentage??

3. Thanks for taking your time to answer
[HTC Sensation] andyli1985:
1. By tapping on the camera icon?

2. System Settings -> System -> Status Bar -> Battery status style
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
i don't have a camera icon.... can you provide the zip file for it so i can flash it in?

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

when i flashed this rom my camera icon disapeared, can someone provide the zip so i can flash it into my rom
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I know it was asked a few pages back, but is there any way we can adjust how fast we can scroll? Maybe add a slider in one of the settings menus or something?

And does anyone have a link to that 8mp 16:9 mod? I can't seem to find it now and flashing the newest rom build has overwritten it...
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
i'm also missing the voice recognition for google now, type works
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
You have an old build, check the date in about phone
[HTC Sensation] mmfxda:
Menu->Nova settings->look and feel-> scroll speed
[HTC Sensation] Euler MD:
I ran Quadrant, it is still 1000 off from your older builds at 2100, pre-10/5 where i got 3100. Just updating you guys.
[HTC Sensation] MrSoulSOng:
There's at least two of us here that have got exceptional scores on the 5/10 build. Admittedly, I did have troubles with the performance governor @ 1.78ghz. Lagfree @ 1.72ghz was how we got great scores on AnTuTu.

What governor and clock speed have you been trying?
[HTC Sensation] Euler MD:
First off, I would like to thank you for taking your time to help.

I typically don't mess around with the governor or speeds, I check them using SetCPU, but according to the Performance Tab in settings, My Current governor is the BADASS one with min at 192MHz and max at 1566MHz.

My WiFi hotspot isn't working on the 10/8 build.It turns on but can find my device on my laptop.any suggestions. Thanks in advance!!!

Flash 10/8 build over top of the build your on.

Bruce2728 Jellybean 4.1.1
[HTC Sensation] AshtonTS:
10/5 didn't realize there was a newer one
[HTC Sensation] psycho693:
Your not that old but I have been running this for awhile and have never had had that issue I do recommend downloading 10/8 build and flash it with gapps and you should be fine
[HTC Sensation] AshtonTS:
Well I'll flash the new build and see. I didn't restore from any titanium backups or anything, so I have no Idea what could be causing it

[HTC Sensation] remus82:
No offence but you did flash gapps right? Just to make sure
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
i flashed it right after i flashed the rom and it said success, and my google voice is working and all... i have no camera app icon and no camera installed... ?
[HTC Sensation] AshtonTS:
flash the camfix.zip at the bottom of the Goo.im page...
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
i did this as well...
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
From the lock screen could you swipe left and go into the cam app? If you could it means its installed and we could nail the problem easier
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
i already tried all that fixes is the orientation, but i don't have the app to begin with... i need the zip for the camera

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

there is no camera in my app list
[HTC Sensation] InfamousBlade:
What is that supposed to accomplish, anyway? I feel like I missed something.
[HTC Sensation] blytzr:
Front Faceing Camera

Hey Bruce do you have any idea what the progress is regarding the front faceing camera? Just curious.

Thanks again for all the great work.
[HTC Sensation] mikebeatrice:
There's no separate camera app. The camera is integrated into gallery2.apk ... that's why clearing data in gallery fixes camera issues.
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
i cleared all data and still can't access a camera, there is no app, and i can't get to it from the lockscreen... there is no option from the gallery...
[HTC Sensation] phammichael:
Someone please ban this troll
[HTC Sensation] AshtonTS:
Got Apollo working. Didn't work when I flashed the new build, so I cleared data and force stopped and now it works :D
[HTC Sensation] idtheftvictim:
Reflash the gapps from 7/26 to get camera apk working
[HTC Sensation] Wagedroid:
Got my Bluetooth working...

Deleted all files under system/etc/Bluetooth and data/misc/Bluetooth. Rebooted to recovery wiped cache and dalvik rebooted and viola Bluetooth turns on

Do a full wipe then reflash the ROM then gapps then reboot it and see if the camera is there.

Thank you <3 fixed
[HTC Sensation] wicketr:
This happened to me. Only solution is to start over from scratch with clean install. Use TB to restore whatever apps you need.
[HTC Sensation] munkyvirus:
Anyone know of anything to do about the notification pulldown freezing? It's happening to me pretty much everytime I try to pull it down from the lock screen. Like an app or widget that can restart SystemUI?
[HTC Sensation] wicketr:
I haven't had that happen since the mid September releases. What date are you on?
[HTC Sensation] cakaostojic:
I had problems with status bar freezing but after 2days of use it fixed it self. Am on October 1 built and everything is just working fine thanks Bruce for a great ROM
[HTC Sensation] munkyvirus:
I'm on 10/8, for sure. First build I used of bruce's was 10/1, this issue cropped up 10/5.

Plan of action: Gonna full wipe after work and reinstall 10/8 and see if the issue persists. Will report back.
[HTC Sensation] gjunky:
I've had that happen quite a few times too. I am two builds back but I have seen it happen on different builds. Often when I bring up the power down menu (holding the power button) it will start working again. It takes a few times usually. Nothing bad, just a little annoying at the time.

On another note: I am curious about the post on peoples battery lives. Mine is in the 6-8 hour range with the Android OS showing as the biggest battery consumer. I wonder if there is a difference between the devices/batteries. I have one from the day they came out (US - TMo). I will order one of those Anker batteries and see if it helps.
[HTC Sensation] N3xt2N0N3:
Nice!

@bruce2728 Good job on the rom. I came over from the G2x and this is first and only rom that has been on Sensation. Keep up the good work!
[HTC Sensation] swissmountain:
Build 1003 was the last build where it worked for me, with build 1005 and build 1008 it doesn't anymore... It's reproduceable, if I go back to 1003 it works again, so my phone doesn't seem to be broken...
[HTC Sensation] NetSoerfer:
I recently bought an Anker battery, it makes a huge difference. With the old original battery I used to get 6-8 hours with very moderate use. Yesterday I ran the phone for 13 hours with similarly moderate use and I had 56% left.

One thing that seems to be a HUGE drain is automatic brightness. Try manual, low brightness and adjust as you need it with the notification toggles.
[HTC Sensation] tlacenka:
stoopid noob question ?

Hello here :)

at 1st: Thanks for really good work on the rom Bruce

2nd: OTA updates are functional ? becouse i see here in 1st post the new version is available, but if i hit the cm update.. it says that i have actual and no new - just asking.

Thanks for answer
[HTC Sensation] readams:
OTA updates seem to pull only official CM builds. It's easy enough to just download the ROM and then install from 4ext though so it's not really that big of a deal.
[HTC Sensation] tlacenka:
Absolutelly yes :)

just want to know if this means "official updates" or updates of your rom :)

Thanks for your time

Just little question - if i download the update, can i only flash it.. or should i clean something (cache, dalvik..etc ?)

Anyway - thanks again for making my phone usable :)
[HTC Sensation] runnerman4:

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

did it really just take about 3 or 4 pages to help this kenny guy flash gapps!?
[HTC Sensation] Mountaineer:
No, but it did take that many pages for Mesaman2012 to use his/her puppet account ThizizKenny to thank his/her main account several times.
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
The cm ota updater doesn't work for our device since we don't have an official cm10 build yet and you don't have to wipe cache or dalvik even tho i do it but you can just flash the rom
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
My problem was I needed a full re flash of the room, I'm not a puppet account, even with the gapps I couldn't find because I already had that one installed, I thought he was talking about a different one since I already tried that one, I'm sorry I like to thank people who try to help me don't hate too much for that, it took 4 pages to help me fix an issue that hadn't been solved til the very last comment, thank you for proving your jackassness
[HTC Sensation] Mountaineer:
Call me anything you want buddy, just do a little more reading and a lot less posting.

This **** aint rocket science.

Every question you asked could have been resolved by you actually looking for the publicly available information instead of polluting this thread by asking for it - repeatedly.
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
You're getting all pissy over posts that don't have much to do with you, I needed help and it took a lot to fix my problem, deal with it
[HTC Sensation] NetSoerfer:
As an afterthought: Considering the capacity difference between the original battery (1560mAh, iirc) and the Anker (1900mAh), the above serves to illustrate the ridiculously low quality of the original battery. After 14 months, its capacity was already reduced to less than half of its rated capacity.

Note to self: don't EVER buy devices with fixed batteries. Luckily it's easy enough to change the battery of the Nexus 7.
[HTC Sensation] Mountaineer:
If you want to talk nonsense, head over to the off topic forum http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=261, this is a development thread and not for random chatter (I fully expect this entire conversation to be cleaned away by an admin, so your shame won't be public for long).

Let me highlight a few lines from the very first post in this thread for you that you clearly never read:

If you can't read, that's nothing to be ashamed of, you can go do an adult learning class at any one of a number of schools in your area.

If you can read and won't, then I despair for my children growing up in a world containing people like you; your refusal to contribute to the common good and worse, your wasting of communal resources is a net drain on everyone around you.

Auto brightness in 1008 is working perfect.

Auto brightness is working perfect for me with build 1008, just done a few tests and all came out positive.

My recovery/flashing tool is 4ext which seems to eliminate all the little niggles I was experiencing using Clockworkmod before, 4ext makes the whole process of backup/flash so simple and easy as well.

If you're not using 4ext, I thoroughly recommend you try flashing with it. You never know it might even fix the issue.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

What that man said, and then a shed load more. This rom is brilliant, I absolutely love it, totally transformed my once laggy and annoying phone, a real credit to Bruce and his talents. I no longer feel the need to upgrade.

However, Bruce deserves more than just our plaudits, if you really like the ROM consider a donation as a proper way to say thanks like I did (confirmation reference ......7244052S).

Cheers Bruce, your efforts are hugely appreciated.

I call it a tear (like a rip, not crying:p), others call it bleeding, its when the notification smears down to clear instead of sliding away smoothly

It only fc if you use voice search, and don't press the voice button on keyboard either.

[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
@laxin I know what you are looking for, and I think that this ROM is not Sense-like in its scrolling. Nor is it "finished" - in a later firm it will be still faster.

However, it is worth a try. It is a different standard of speed, responsiveness, and looseness. I find it more comfortable than working with, say, ARHD. But I admit a bias towards a lighter UI.

Short story: scrolling is _better_ than in ICS AOSP ROMs. Check it out, I'd like to know what you think.

Yrs,
