I got it booting fully, sense works without much problems and its smooth, but there are problems with screen refreshing, you cant scroll menus, you need to rotate device to get it refresh, and Bluetooth and radio will probable never work.. + other problems, data..browser crashing, random reboots..

Still no point spending time on ONE S port just because of 4.0.4..maybe if its JB it would be worth it.

Ville c2 bases are still so much better

EDIT:

Yea forgot to tell you, change libmode10*, 3 libs and sense will load just fine..
[HTC Sensation] Drowzz:
I think the same as you...
[HTC Sensation] boa19861105:
Not yet put out?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
its up, I can see it
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
@BanB I found out why 1.2.1 doesnt boot on some phones

You have this in your updater-script when someone selects full wipe:

ui_print("-> format boot");
unmount("/boot");
run_program("/sbin/erase_image", "boot");

This erases the boot.img from the boot partition but you didnt include a boot.img in your zip file to be flashed when someone selects full wipe.
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
but i create one via kernel flash...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No, give me 2 hours to get home and on computer (typing while walking is not easy!) and I'll explain then :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ok in the updater script you essentially have the following:

ui_print("Dumping boot image...");
run_program("/tmp/dump_image", "boot", "/tmp/boot.img");
ui_print("Updating kernel in boot image...");
run_program("/tmp/unpackbootimg", "/tmp/boot.img", "/tmp/");
run_program("/tmp/mkbootimg.sh");
ui_print("Flashing boot image...");
assert(write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img", "boot"));

what this does is pull the boot.img from the boot partition then unpacks it to kernel + ramdisk in /tmp/ and replaces the zimage (kernel) with the one in the zip. This is fine if the user doesnt full wipe but if he full wipes then a full wipe formats the boot partition so there will not be a boot.img to pull from the partition.

that means that

ui_print("Dumping boot image...");
run_program("/tmp/dump_image", "boot", "/tmp/boot.img");
ui_print("Updating kernel in boot image...");
run_program("/tmp/unpackbootimg", "/tmp/boot.img", "/tmp/");

this part fails and so the new zImage is put into /tmp/ and mkbootimg script attempts to build it into boot.img

however for it to be a valid boot.img it needs a ramdisk as well as a kernel, therefore mkbootimg also fails to create the newboot.img and so there is nothing to flash.

The way to solve this is to pack a boot.img into the zip file and change the updater-script kernel code to something liuke:

package_extract_dir("Extras/SebastianKernel/kernel", "/tmp");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/dd");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/mkbootimg.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/mkbootimg");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/unpackbootimg");
run_program("/tmp/unpackbootimg", "/tmp/boot.img", "/tmp/");
run_program("/tmp/mkbootimg.sh");
assert(write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

Then you shouldnt hav issues anymore :)
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
Ok thx i'm going to put it into updater-script :)

Thx Jonny

Edit: i will stop the work on the Sense 4.1 Ville port on Sensation and wait for a Ville C2 RUU ;)
[HTC Sensation] BanB:

[HTC Sensation] D-SHEL:
Is Bluetooth working? :)
[HTC Sensation] sy224048:
Does it boot? :p:p

Seriously though, any bugs we should know about? This Rom won't cause our phones to explode or send horrible texts to all ny contacts will it?
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
Bluetooth work for me ;)

It boots and the only Bug is HDMI output. Maybe it is fixed but i cant Test it :)
[HTC Sensation] nickislauw:
GREAT work Banb!

Now all haters see that you are A TRUE DEVV!!!!!

kudo's bro, your the first with a FULL sense 4.1 rom ;)!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I've just taken a quick look at the scripts and it should boot.
[HTC Sensation] kekkojoker90:
i dont know if is real android 4.0.4 but i think yes. Only problem is the rom laggy in every part (example app drawer, in certain case in home screen , in the transiction of setting) and another bug is haptic feedback for the keyboard, another problem is in the setting "Display and buttons" is the only voice in the english (i use italian). Other consideration in the next hours
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It is true android 4.0.4 - because of the Ville RUU 2.31.xxx is 4.0.4 and this ROM is based off it :)
[HTC Sensation] Sion83:
Running very smooth for me. only problem, cant get a mobile network connection. checked apn and are correct. wifi is working...
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
Any other person with mobile network problem?
[HTC Sensation] nickislauw:
Yep I had to set my APN manually, no big deal ;)
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
Now it works?
[HTC Sensation] nickislauw:
yes:D
[HTC Sensation] sy224048:
Lol it was a joke but it's nice to see that you're always helping us noobs. I'll flash this and see how I like it.:)
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Just for your info guys, this rom uses almost more than half libs and bins from VILLEC2 (4.0.3), so dont know how much of 4.0.4 android is left :D

And 4.0.4 android it self is so minor change compared to 4.0.3

About ROM. BT works paritialy,data doesnt work, HDMI doesnt work, Video Playback from gallery crashes phone, menu button problems...

But anways, congratulations BanB for booting this, hope you make something good out of it :)
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
But you don't know how many libs I replaced :)
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Man, i know every single one you replaced(simple compare to ONE S base), there are even mine hacked libs (liboverlay.so and hwcomposer.msm8660.so) in your rom which fixes Youtube/video players lag on Sense 4 roms.

Just FYI :)
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
:D
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
Menu key does not work and HTC Locations keeps FC
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
Menu key won't work on homescreens every else it work :)

Locations should be deleted
[HTC Sensation] ernurbilge:
lets try ;)

-----------------------

nice black boot animation .. now booting ..

bigger buttons on dialpad ..

and .. end of the boot and entered simlock than ''unfortunately locations has stopped.

:(

sencond locations stopped message en of the opening phone

than i can not close with htc guide black message (x) at the corner

SCREEN LOCKED !

released the battery and now booting again

location stops messeges every 10 seconds killing the phone

menu button not working ..

recrded video ok

but playback rebooting the phone

no lag and speed is ok with 230mb free ram ..

go on m8

nice try
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
just delete HtcLocations.apk
[HTC Sensation] ernurbilge:
m8 not for use .. menu button does not work video playbak rebooting phone ...

may be later ;)
[HTC Sensation] chihliouma:
Well, that may not be the good solution. All you need to do is just to replace the "libLaputaEngine.so" from Viper 1.3.5, re-boot, and the error message will gone and the location issue will become normal.
[HTC Sensation] throcker:
tried it....is pretty good, enough smooth and fast, but I expected more than this...is a good, working rom, nothing else...great work, instead!
[HTC Sensation] mzebrowski13:
First of all, rom is full of bloatware, at least for me, but I think that not only me. At the beginning a little slow but after changing governor to interactive cleaning the junk from system it's fast , even very fast. The biggest bugs have also been described I'll just add that it might be a good start to do a really nice rom. Kepp it up. :good:
[HTC Sensation] CULDAd:
I've flashed another kernel and phone started to always restart at boot screen. What should I do ?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Restore backup, reflash ROM, use your common sense etc etc. :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] CULDAd:
Already done everything mate, does anything can you add? if its not, phone may be semi-bricked again.
[HTC Sensation] mzebrowski13:
Try new install with superduperwipe everything
[HTC Sensation] sorceforge:
Thanks for the good rom! I am really grateful of its smooth performance.

However, I am suffering from not connecting internet with 3G. APN was normally set, but if I try to turn on 3G in Settings app, it just say 'Disconnected.'

Even if I go check *#*#4636#*#* thing, it just say 'disconnected,' so I changed its connectivity, but it does not help. I installed other RIL driver, but it just fails to connect 3G.

I am using 1.27.0000 HBOOT, 11.69A.3504.00P_11.23.3504.07_M2 radio. Nonetheless, 3G worked flawlessl in other roms such as Viper, CM10, and stock 3.33.405.6 rom.

Is there anyone can give any suggestion?

EDIT : Call, and SMS works. Even WiFi works.
[HTC Sensation] tommykwan222:
i just install the newest version, but I found that the location services always force close after finishing install the Rom

If it's your opinion that keep it for you and don't offend our developers.

...just rude to downrate a rom where thousands ours were spent. Well in general its rude to downrate a rom with a comment like yours in public.

All devs, if experienced or not spend their freetime for you to give you a rom to flash for free! So really, stfu (-:

[HTC Sensation] ItayPBM:
Great rom, flashed it two days ago and all of the bugs I had with ViperS are gone. No more random freezes or reboots. battery life seems to be pretty good as well.

My only advice is too add built in updated tweaks for sense 4. Much more comfortable.

By the way, there is no flash support with the rom? I used to watch live streams with the default browser and it worked great but now it's not working. Tried with dolphin browser as well.

I noticed a small bug. When I tried to share photo with facebook through the gallery it didn't work, just got stuck on 0% for long time until I killed the task. Sharing the photo through facebook and not the gallery worked without any problems. Don't know if it's rom related and it's not very important anyway.

Hi guys,

this would be my last post for a while.

I'll stop the work on the ROM to concentrate me on school.

It took to much time from school, freetime and so.

At first it made fun to work on it, but at least it was going to be a must. (especially bug fix, cause i don't have any previous knowledge and so i must search many. So i missed important things in my life. Maybe it sounds silly but....

Probably i will update the ROM to fix minor things. Maybe in a half or quarter year i beginn working on the ROM, when I'm finished with school.

I'm very sorry and wish it could be different.

A sad BanB / Phil :(
[HTC Sensation] nickislauw:
I respect that.. Building a rom is juts for fun when you have time.. if you havent time, you cannot build a rom. school is alot more important:)

Do what's the best for you mate!
