Yes, agree. This is the most battery efficient ROM that I've used thus far. I've tried at least 5 different ROMs and tried hard to optimise with undervolt, different kernels, etc. The 2nd best (-24mA) doesn't even came near to this ROM achievement (-8mA).

Thanks Bruce for all the hard work. Salute for your dedication.

[HTC Sensation] Tung_meister:
Is there any news on the LPA front? I'm presuming the issue is across all JB builds?
[HTC Sensation] :
For me (as I mentioned in the FAQ thread) it was removing eBay that solved most of my issues. I am not complaining though as I am still on the same charge (1d 23h, 48m with 4h 56m of AlarmManager Wakelocks) and still with 38% battery left....this has to be a record for me :D.

Within an hour of removing eBay (after a reboot/charge) my Wakelocks dropped massively), however I am now getting SyncLoopWakelocks that I wasn't before (2h 5m so far)...
[HTC Sensation] fredziu:
Do anybody have random reboots for ex. after receiving sms or turning wifi on ?. I'm on 7/12 with tamcore kernel set on 1512 Mhz lagfree/smartassv2. -25uv. First day when I made clean install everything was ok. Random reboots began on the next day. Only thing that I installed was noozxoide equalizer from play store. I also removed UV but it don't help. It is possible that equalizer is the source of reboots ?
[HTC Sensation] spuri78:
Could someone please be kind enough to advise what kernel this one comes with?

Many thanks,

Thanks, is there a link for it?
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
on the |op| where you have the mirror for the rom, on the same url, you also have the available kernels by bruce.
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
No extra link for current kernel, but you can extract it from the build archive.

I did look in Goo.im and the kernel that is in the current rom not there.

[HTC Sensation] flash5000:
What do you guess, will a file dated from September 05 be the current one? :rolleyes:

There is no extra file containing only the currently included kernel of the newest ROM. You will have to extract it by yourself (and please use google or XDA search if you don't know how - this ain't a support thread for such things here)...
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
+1 for eBay as massive wakelock producer. I had to remove it as well, helped a lot. I hope they'll update the app soon.

I also experienced random reboots when turning WiFi on. It happended to me multiple times, mostly when I was at the lockscreen, pulling notification bar down and activating WiFi with the toggle. Screen froze for ~5-10 seconds and then the phone rebooted. This is not reproducable but random. I pulled a last_kmsg once, but since 12/07 version it didn't happen again. I suggest to you as well: After the random reboot happened, get the "last_kmsg" from /proc/, it will maybe help the dev to solve the problem.

You could do it like this, when using Windows for example:

adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\last_kmsg.log

Mine from random reboot after turning WiFi on: https://www.dropbox.com/s/keo39qi9z7gz1ul/last_kmsg
[HTC Sensation] fredziu:
@smint86 I have exactly the same! Are you on bruce kernel ? Did you make some changes with oc ? Is it related in this case with the kernel?
[HTC Sensation] jan.ringas:
I experience them too (on OS2 as well as on the CM10-KANG). As I mainly use the CM10-KANG I pasted my last_kmesg a few minutes ago over there (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35255827&postcount=692).

My last_kmesg can be found here: http://pastebin.com/j7H5U8tB

As I wrote in my other post, I think the Kernel NULL pointer dereference might be the part of the problem leading to the reboot. Like in your case, my WiFi seems to have been de-/reactivated shortly before the reboot happened (I was driving in my car; WiFi was enabled, but not connected).
[HTC Sensation] DonPhelippe:
Hello everyone (and a hat tip to you Bruce, once again thanks for finding time for this amazing labour of love of yours)

A quick question: does the 7 Dec build include a camera / gallery app that can take Sensation resolution pictures? (along with 1080p video in the Sensation aspect ratio) If not, will it hurt if before flashing I inject into the zip file the 23 Nov version of gallery2? I did it already with the 26 Nov version to get the aspect ratios I want.

Once again Bruce, ty for all the hard work.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
the latest kernel is on goo

Just because the one in the ROM has a different date that just means I compiled it on a different date, if there are any changes I will post a new kernel on goo.im
[HTC Sensation] archimess:
Is there any way that this rom can be fixed for the VPN apps like Hotspot Shield? Or maybe there is already some fix?

Many VPN apps have problems with CM and it's really nice to have one work, so us nonUS users can access the full Google Play Store and US-only sites.

Hi

Earlier also I had a problem with the battery, and (rarely) with stability.

I invented another method of flashing ROM with removing battery (to reset HTC). Now I'm doing it every time, and I have no problems :) (I note that I don't know whether to blame ROM, or method of flashing but now is OK - bt, signal, battery)

1. Reboot in recovery mode (4EXT 1.0.0.5 RC8)

2. In 4EXT wipe | format > format all partitions (except sdcard)

3. In 4EXT wipe | format > wipe dalvik cache

4. In 4EXT wipe | format > wipe battery stats (but i think is unnecessary and i never did this on 100% battery)

5. In 4EXT power menu > Power Off

6. Remove the battery for about 10 min

7. Take a Micro SD and using some card reader, delete folder Android (if You don't have a card reader, try use 4EXT to connect SD with computer)

8. Copy ROM and GAPPS in to SD (Safely Remove Hardware) and plug it back in to HTC

9. After 10 min without battery, put it back

10. Turn on phone holding VOL down

11. Select (using VOL buttons) recovery and press power button (to select it)

12. (now in 4EXT you should see 0:00 hour) In 4EXT install from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > select ROM and flash it

13. In 4EXT install from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > select GAPPS and flash it

14. In 4EXT reboot now

Before using that method I have problem with data connection and battery, and after this evyrything is OK ;)

I hope this help someone ;)
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
IIRC if you do step 2, you don't need 3 (flashing this ROM does it already), and step 4 shouldn't make any difference.
[HTC Sensation] Turwaithion:
Will there be changelogs available again ?

Hi Bruce.

Will there once again be changelogs available in the 2. post ?
[HTC Sensation] sharukins:
yeah, why should one search through the latest pages and instead just post...

bruce said he'll be updating the changelogs as soon as he has the time, which might be today or tomorrow...
[HTC Sensation] SlakWReX:
Alright maybe you should read my original post. No rom boots. And I use an s3 but have always wanted to mess with a HTC. Soff was already a mission. When I first flashed a rom I got a boot loop and then I remember I had to flash the boot image or something like that but I don't remember how I did it. If any one can help I'd really appreciate it.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Has anyone else had problems with the touchscreen becoming unresponsive in the latest build?

It seems to randomly happen after i wake my phone up. Waking it up and putting it back to sleep a few times seems to fix it though.
[HTC Sensation] :
Extract boot.img from the ROM zipfile then from ADB type: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fixes my bootloops all the time (I am still S-ON)
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
As long as there is some ROM you can flash, start with doing that. Make a nandroid so you have that in case of trouble with others. From the 4ext app, select the zip for this ROM to install. Add Gapps, too, if you wish. When you get the pop-up, check off Format system, Format data, Format cache & Format dalvik. Flash.

This works for all of us, so, if you have issues, please check in another thread - I pointed out the firmware thread for you already.

Read, my brother, read!

Let me know how audio is, as you know I have no speaker to test it.
[HTC Sensation] ntluan:
Hi all, how to decrease auto backlight levels like a tweak in sense roms? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] DonPhelippe:
Alternative, you could, assuming you can get into recovery (power off and then power + vol. down and then select recovery) you can go into Tools -> Enable 4ext smartflash. This is a standard procedure if you have unlocked your phone through HTC Dev and from what I ve seen, having bootloops after flashing ususally means that. If it's something else, sorry for your time and since the command line worked, you are just fine.
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
Before anyone asks again and is too lazy to look at the OP, here's the changelog from Bruce:

Some audio fixes, speaker volume + headset

Updated kernel to 3.0.55

...as well as usual CM commits
[HTC Sensation] lolomin:
Thks tobitege and thanks to Bruce for its amazing work for the community, just a thing I've noticed :

I've upgraded from 2012/11/26 build to 2012/12/07 today but still having a 3.0.52 kernel built on Fri Dec 7 09:53:25 GMT 2012 , is it normal please ?

Compilation date for the build I've installed is : Fri Dec 7 09:40:44 GMT 2012

Regards,

Laurent

Oh sorry to all .... I have not seend this was 2012/12/10 build ... I now understand lol
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Not being sure exactly what you are looking for to be tested with audio I can tell you the following about 12/10...

Audio works for phone and system sound. It seems like the volume is working better too, with volume changes actually making a difference in decible levels. On some previous builds there wasn't much difference between all the way down and all the way up. This version seems to let you go to 11! (I'm not capable of discussing volume of any kind without making a Spinal Tap reference.)

Also, the audio seems more clear on phone calls. Note this is with VERY limited testing so far, and with only calling my voicemail. But the pesky crackling background noise that's been an issue seems to be greatly reduced and the bass seems to be turned up a little giving the audio a more realistic sound.

If you didn't adjust any of this stuff....well then this is all in my imagination. But I'm still happy, so you still win!

If you want something specific to be tested just let us know and we'll test the heck out of it for you!
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for, all levels have been increased slightly. (Credit to kushdeck from cm)

The changes are to the DSP configuration.

PS love the spinal tap reference :D

hi,

reading all this I'm a little confused about this

versus to this post form skipjacks

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33187289&postcount=14595 (disabling some services in GSF)

what to do? both ?

and: is disabling "fast dormancy" only an american issue (AT*T is mentioned in any posting I read ) or also of interest living in europe/germany ??

regards, rainer
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
The two posts talk about different wakelocks.

Flash5000 is talking about wakelocks attributed to Alarm Manager caused by the Android System. There is nothing you can do to alter hese. They are deeply embedded in the ROM and the changes need to be made with the source code. Reports are that since 12/7 these wakeloacks are drasitcally reduced because of changes either CM or Bruce made. You don't have to do anything special. Just install the ROM and enjoy the reduction in wakelocks.

However, unsubstantiated testing today that Tobitege and I briefly discussed seems to indicate that the wakelocks are only reduced when either wifi or mobile data is turned on. Is seems that having those on prevents the wakelocks, and having them off doesn't prevent them. (This is very prelilminary data though...so it might not be correct after we see more reports about it)

My post is talking about wakelocks attributed to Alarm Manager and Checkin Service caused by the Google Services Framework. The modification works and it works well, but you have to sacrifice the use of GTalk and Google Now in order to get rid of the GSF wakelocks as those are the 2 things that drive the wakelocks.

As for the fast dormancy thing....I don't know if the mobile network would affect that. I don't understand what it does enough to discuss it inteligently.
[HTC Sensation] SlakWReX:
Thanks I'm also gonna try this.
[HTC Sensation] :
Just for reference, my wifi and mobile data are on 24/7 and I always had AlarmManager wakelocks from hell (now drastically reduced by uninstalling that nasty eBay app).

Now I've started collecting small-ish amounts of SyncLoopWakelocks but I really don't care as I am currently 55 hours into a dishcharge cycle :)
[HTC Sensation] flash5000:
Neither am I proficient enough in these things to really start a discussion about it :D

All I know (or more precisely, all I've heard about it) is the following:

UMTS (or 3G) network connections have different power states, depending on the fact if there's a data transfer ongoing. The active transfer state uses a lot more energy (~factor 100) than the idle status. Therefore, it is better for the battery if the status is switched in the most efficient way possible. Fast Dormancy is the rule implemented in our mobile phones which decides when to perform such state switches. In case it is switched off, the network cell decides about the time after which the state is switched. There are network cells which leave the phone in a high-power mode for a long time, others don't - depending on the operator, it's preferences, and also individual cells. The state switch itself however takes a long time and consumes much energy.

reference for german-speaking people: http://www.android-hilfe.de/samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300-forum/266535-info-fast-dormancy.html

However, it seems that Skipjack is right, and that some changes in the newer ROM versions made a much bigger difference with the wakelocks. Hard to tell, as I updated the ROM and disabled Fast Dormancy at the same time...

PS: I'm open to be corrected / amended if anyone is more tech-savvy - please share your wisdom ;)

Audio in Google Now with headphones

Bruce, I just flashed Dec10 and so far its working great except for an audio routing bug with Google Now (and maybe other apps). If I have headphones without a microphone attached to my phone and try several voice commands, audio routes to my device speaker and sometimes to the headphones. This is different from before where it would not come through the headphones from what I tested. It seemed to change back and forth a bunch but I couldn't really find a pattern as I tried different commands or the same commands. However, if I use headphones with a mic, audio seems to route perfectly normal.

As far as audio quality goes, I don't think my device has ever sounded better! Thanks!

sorry skipjacks, but I don't understand this part of your posting (wifi/mobile data):

either .. or ?

both on ?

both off (.. then it sleeps very well, I guess ;) )

regards, rainer
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
If either it on, then wakelocks apparently disapear.

If neither is on, then the wakelocks are back.

In other words, any kind of connection to the internet stops the wakelocks. A lack of any internet connection brings them back.

Again, this is with very preliminary testing. I need 2 full charge and discharge cycles doign it both ways to really get a feel for how much impact this has.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:

hey spIder in a clean install and as i follow your recommended steps to install your adoon first the rom then gapps and then your addon now i have 2 gallery's

do you know why?

Probably because his addon doesn't remove the old gallery apk

Just a quick noob question :) gaps for 4.2 compatible for this rom or only for 4.1.2?
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
Only 4.2.
[HTC Sensation] NinetoFive:
For AlarmManager wakelocks, I'm noticing it just as badly as before and I'm on the Dec 07 build.

I notice i'm averaging about 50% wakelocks. ie 20 hours on=10 hours alarmmanager wakelocks that are not attributable to GSF

If I turn wifi/data off to "save" battery, i'll save some on wifi, but I do notice wakelocks increasing..but they don't seem to be related to Google. Rather services like HD widgets, twitter begin to have wakelocks as a result. I tried freezing them when I turned wifi off to see if it made a difference, but it's hard to quantify.

With all these wakelocks I'm wondering if it's worth it to just to go back to a stable ICS rom. I don't remember ARHD having wakelock issues and I assume Sense roms don't have this problem? Also another reason why my next phone will not be anything but a nexus.
[HTC Sensation] Flow:
It's like you've read my mind. Since 2 weeks now my phone keeps shutting down or has random reboots (and yes, the battery is stuck in firmly). I've tried several CM10 ROMS from 20121023 untill 20121207, also tried different OpenSensation2 ROMS but none of them is stable. Especially the camera from Gapps 4.2 makes it unstable (which is installed default in OpenSensation2?). At some point this weekend I even couldn't get gapps 4.1.2 installed anymore after a full wipe and clean CM10 install. Today again 2 crashes shortly after eachother and the battery drains pretty fast.

Already ordered a LG Nexus 4 16GB last Saturday, unfortunately delivery will take approx. 6 weeks.

But I'm really thinking of going back to CM9 for now...

I love everything Bruce has done so far and I really DO appreciate all his hard work, but it seems to me there's been to much focus on getting new features in than first working towards a stable release....
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
Your phone either has issues or its operator error but its not the ROM. Plenty of us have no to minimal issues and find this more stable than CM9 with the performance of this ROM setting CM9 back to the dark ages.

I have great battery,performance and stability like many others.
[HTC Sensation] Flow:
Maybe there's something wrong... but before rooting and installing CM10 I never had any problems with it.

Running out of options here... any thoughts?

Would you have a spare battery to test? Maybe the battery itself has become defunct.

General hints: use correct gapps for 4.1.2 and don't overclock for time being.
