JellyBean, Project Butter... and no HTC Sense or Vodafone bloatware

I've just taken the plunge and flashed my Sensation to Bruce's CM10 Jelly Bean ROM (currently I'm on the 18thSept version) and it has totally transformed the device. Previously the phone was slow and laggy, with Sense and Vodafone bloatware, it was not a pleasant and to be honest a quite frustrating experience. But now, with Project Butter, no Sense, no Vodafone bloatware and the CPU clocked back up to 1.5Ghz it absolutely flies and is a complete joy to use. Everything works perfectly, except the Front Camera which I never used anyway, and I feel like I have a completely new phone which I absolutely love now.

I used to buy HTC for Sense, but found that I rarely used any of the features of Sense, much preferred third party apps for the few I did. So having no HTC Sense is now perfect for me.

It's a big step to make for some, but it is so worth it!
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Well I still got the data glitch after applying your APN changes. So that wasn't the cure, sadly.

Don't worry about flashing a new build. It won't trigger the data problem. The problem occurs and stops when it feels like, regardless of anything you do. I've updated numerous times since this problem started and it's never triggered the problem. It just happens randomly afterwards.

No. Never used it. Never even had the toggle active. But even dropping down to 2G only won't fix it. It just blinks E instead of H.

Update to 9/24.

9/18 wasn't very awesome with battery life. And in my experience 9/24 is a little smoother and more responsive. From early testing battery life seems to be better than 9/18 as well. And 9/24 has implimented tripple buffering that makes everything just a little more snappy.
[HTC Sensation] Athhar:
Yep man....even a single core nexus s is super fast on jellibean...

Thanks to project butter
[HTC Sensation] Dodgie02:
The 9/24 release has an amazing battery time indeed. I really couldn't be happier with my phone at the moment.
[HTC Sensation] euqiddis:
When updating the rom to the next build, do all apps and data get deleted?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
No, not if you dont full wipe. Just wipe cache and dalvik. It will boot right up with all your stuff in place. DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST JUST IN CASE

Hello xda

Since I can yet post in developer section I would like to ask a question here. I'm noob at this so bear with me please. I'm using a guide to install the latest version of CM10 as it's my first ever ROM installation. The guide is from August 14. It says that I have to set the CPU frequency to 384Mhz. Is this still the case with the newest CM10 version?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Max792:
No mine is set to default which is the lowest I believe, and have had no problems. Best thing is to test them out and see what works best for you!
[HTC Sensation] Bazylik:
gotcha, I will play around :)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
That was because the ROM wasn't stable at lower clock speeds. It was causing the phone to get stuck in sleep.

It's insanely more stable now and you have to REALLY try to get it to freeze up on you. You can clock all the way down to 192 and it'll use almost no battery during sleep. And it wakes right up as it's supposed to.

If this is your first ROM install, use the 9/24 build and not the 9/23. The 9/24 is a lot more stable. The 9/23 is doing some testing with a new kernel that's still a work in progress. Pay attention to the updates as they come. You'll want to stick to the stable kernel for a while as a rookie at this. Once you get comfortable trying new things then check out the builds with the Intervigilium kernel. For right now that will seem really unfinished to you.
[HTC Sensation] The.Penguin:
I also recommend the 9/24 build. It's really smooth and great. Look at the thread for many of the issues. It will help you understand what you're looking for!

[HTC Sensation] Bazylik:
Great post, thanks a lot. That cleared and helped quite a bit. I also forgot to mention in my post that I was using that Aug 14 to install 9/24 build :o

That build has been stable for me, the only major issue that I'm having is that my camera doesn't work, phone says it cannot connect to camera. I'll browse around to see if I can find any solutions to that.

darn me. Apparently I'm running July 30th build.. *bangs head against the wall* Downloading 9/24 build now
[HTC Sensation] The.Penguin:
9/24 is really good. There are newer builds that came out. But they are just test builds

Camera shoudl work right away with 9/24. If not download and install (not flash, just install) the Gallary2.apk that's on the file list on Bruce's server.
[HTC Sensation] Athhar:
Does Cm10 support mtp out of the box?
[HTC Sensation] 71notout:
Hi guys,

just thought i'd add my noob comments to this thread.

I flashed my Sensation for the first time ever last week - went for the 18th Sept build.

I had some fun getting theourhg the various stages - unlocking HBoot, installing CWM10, flashing the ROM and GApps. Was getting stuck in Bootloop so ended up going S-OFF route (only took 9 attempts with the paperclip :D), then had to unlock HBoot again and finally, after a factory reset I got everything working.

I can't believe how fast my phone is now! It absolutely flies.

I think I will upgrade to 24th build this weekend - I take it I can just boot into recovery and flash the new ROM over the top?

Will I lose any of my apps or connections, etc?
[HTC Sensation] DugyC:
Yep, just flash it over the top. Shouldn't lose anything as far as I'm aware.

On this note, is anyone having any problems with the 24th build?

I use the WiFi Hotspot a lot and its important to me that it is secured, and works, any issues here?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik (there's an option just for that in the 4EXT menu)

You probably don't even have to do that. The developer of the ROM never does. But it can't hurt to do it and it might prevent quirkiness.

Also, before you update the ROM, make sure you do a full Nandroid backup first. That way if something goes wrong during the update (and that does happen on occasion) or the version you are updating to turns out to have horrible bugs or something you can easily go back to the working version you had.

Always always ALWAYS keep a nandroid backup of a working ROM on your SD card at all times. It's like having an emergancy back up phone in your pocket at all times that will quickly fix any software problem the phone has an dmakes sure you are never without a working phone.
[HTC Sensation] corkythetard:
Hey I'm a n00b to the forum, well kind of anyways. Been lurking and using CM for over a year and change now on 2 different phones(LG Optimus-M on MetroPOS & now HTC Sensation 4g on Tmo-Us).

The only time you would need to wipe cache or wipe cache/davilik(sp?) is for a clean install from another ROM or if there are any bugs you notice after you flash CM10 over an existing CM build. I just installed the 9/28 nightly build an hour ago on top of the 9/24 build. Works damn near flawlessly. I have no wifi issues, no data drop issues, or issues making calls over wifi network even though there's no wifi calling app!

Sorry for being long winded, but I wanted to throw all that out there. If you have questions, search your phone and cm build. Usually you'll find an answer in the developer threads.

Cheers!

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

If you still have camera issues after flashing the 9/24 build, remove the current camera icon from your desktop, go to the app drawer, and drag the camera app to your desktop. It worked for me, but not sure if that's an actual fix. Also, there's no front facing camera yet. If you accidentally switch to it, then you'll need to wipe your cache from recovery mode and reboot. Should reset the camera settings to default.

I've been updating CM 10 from CM9 stable release since the CM10 9/20 nightly and lurking in the developer threads as well to find answers in there. Just wish I could post in there as well.

Hope this helps!

WiFi not working on Bruces latest CM10 ROMs

Hi,

I'm posting this here because I have not enough posts to post on the Developer forum yet, plus my searches have not shown any answer to this problem, which also makes me wonder if I am the only person experiencing this... hence...

Currently I'm running Bruce's 24th September CM10 ROM successfully with no issues at all, and its great.

However, I've tried flashing the ROM for the 28th Sept, and also Build1 and Build2 for the 1st October, but all give me the same problem.

That is the WiFi will not switch ON at all, just immediately goes OFF again.

I've wiped Cache, and Dalvik Cache, tried Factory Reset then flashing the zip files, but it makes no difference. All 3 files are the same, no WiFi.

Is anybody else getting this problem? Is it just me? Has anyone found a fix?

Many thanks

Dougie
[HTC Sensation] Max792:
What recovery are you using? This happened with me ages ago when I used cwm. But when I used 4ext and flashed straight over the top with no wipes it seemed to work for me!

but when i flash 03.october.2012 version and Gapps it freezes at welcome screen and reboots. plz help
[HTC Sensation] DugyC:
WiFi working now

I was using Clockworkmod, but a suggestion on the Developers forum was to use 4ext... which I've now done and as you say worked perfectly.

Basically, the solution I chose was to use 4ext because I was S-On and 4ext has a Smartflash option (on by default) which works better for S-On.

4ext is a brilliant product as well, well worth the money, makes flashing ROMs super easy now.

Thanks for your reply.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
It's likely 1 of 3 things.

First, are you coming from a Gingerbread ROM withotu updating firmware? If so this is the problem. JellyBean roms like CM10 will not run on Gingerbread firmware. You need to update to either 3.32 or 3.33 firmware. Do a search to find out how to do that, but it's insanely simple.

Second, if you are on ICS firmware, you could have gotten a bad download of the CM10 ROM. It happens occasionally and can produce the effect you have depending on how bad it's messed up. Try redownloading a new copy of the ROM an dstart over.

Third, you didn't properly wipe the old ROM off the phone before flashing CM10. Using 4EXT select "Wipe all partitions except SD card" from the Wipe menu. Then install. (And if you had previously used the Superwipe script, install a Sense rom first, then do a full wipe using 4EXT. Superwipe doesn't play with with AOSP roms)
[HTC Sensation] Crazy_Rican:
JB "is" amazing! I love it. My only hope is to have "any" JB ROM working on my Sensation w/out the data issue. No matter what I do or how I install a JB ROM, I get data failure (blinking on & off) at times. Tried them all.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Very strange I have ran alot of Bruce's builds with no data problems. they just keep getting sweeter with time. Thanks Bruce...

mms problem

Hello I'm not sure if this was allready solved or mentioned. But I have a problem with MMS messages. It just keep saying downloading or sending if I send it. This is happenig in JB roms like the one from Bruce. But the funny thing is that MMS works on CM9 nightly. If someone had solved this problem I would be happy if they share it here.:laugh:
[HTC Sensation] xorgu:
thank you first suggestion solved my problem i was coming from gingerbread rom
[HTC Sensation] andyli1985:
Yes. The JB build from bruce is by far the best ROM I have ever used. Very smooth!

One issue though, which is not a big deal for me, is that there is the bluetooth wakelock keeping the phone from going to deep sleep. The wakelock is gone if bluetooth is turned off. I am not sure anyone else has experienced this.
[HTC Sensation] Crazy_Rican:
I tried yet again to get data to work with no luck. Oh well...

Now I'm really CRAZY...o_O. Ohhh...CM10 is fricking fast. Too bad I cannot enjoy it the way I would like to!
[HTC Sensation] HoochieMamma:
Going to try this out tomorrow, it seems like 4EXT is needed for some reason for many ROMs, what would happen if I use CWM to do the install? Don't they do all the same thing?
[HTC Sensation] crackalak:
I've installed Bruce's jelly bean ROM using cwm with no problems, I guess 4ext should be used if it is listed as a requirement to install a ROM just in case
[HTC Sensation] corkythetard:
I've only used CWM and it works like a champ! :good:

Oh and I'm currently running the 10/5 nightly, flashed with CWM, and no major data issues so far. :knocks on wood:
[HTC Sensation] HoochieMamma:
Ahhh good good. Just seems weird when I see some ROMs stating that its definitely needed...
[HTC Sensation] corkythetard:
I totally understand! It does sound odd that you saw people stating it was definitely needed/required. Also, I'll try to dig up the link for the zip that makes your recovery touch screen instead of having to use the volume rocker buttons. Comes in handy when you're mid-flash and the damn things fall off(manufacturer defect apparently) like they did on mine when I was upgrading from CM9 to CM10. DOH! :)
[HTC Sensation] MrSoulSOng:
4ext recovery updater

Go with '4ext Recovery Touch'. And if you love it as much as everyone else does, support the dev and purchase the '4ext Recovery Control'.

Used to use CWM, but now I don't look back! :thumbup::D
[HTC Sensation] corkythetard:
Never used 4ext before, so I can't judge it. Below is the thread for upgrading your CWM Recovery to touch screen.

[HTC Sensation] PopaStefanx:
Hi Guys, i'm new on this forum i want to install Cmd 10 on my htc sensation xe, but i read that i need to installa the google apps separately and then the kernel???? answer me thanks. Stefan
[HTC Sensation] MrSoulSOng:
O

Firstly, you need to be on either 3.32 or 3.33 firmware. I'm going to assume you're on a unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and S-OFF?

Once your at this stage its very simple. Make sure you do a Nandroid backup via recovery first! That way if you stuff it up you can just restore the backup.

In 4ext Recovery, do a full wipe ("wipe all partitions except sd card") Once that's done flash the CM10 Rom. I recommend Bruce's latest build. Once that's done, flash the gapps. Then reboot.

The kernel will be flashed WITH the rom in this instance. It does not need to be flashed separately.

In the future, I suggest not being so pushy in your request for an answer. It just makes people not want to respond. Also do your research FIRST. There is an immense amount of valuable information on this topic already on the forum.

I recommend reading this first and foremost.
[HTC Sensation] AshtonTS:
I'm loving me this jellybean. Almost as smooth as it was on the gnex when I had it. I'm impressed :good:
[HTC Sensation] biglolz:
smooth? are ppl finding this is better than say Elegancia? running the oct 5th build i found it to be very choppy/laggy?
[HTC Sensation] AshtonTS:
I just updated from the 10/5 build to the 10/8 and both have been very smooth and amazing.
[HTC Sensation] zen888:
I installed it but i am having a batterry drain, weak wifi connection and a call volume issue.
[HTC Sensation] AshtonTS:
Weak wifi, yes. Battery drain seems to be ok, but the sensation I bough from some dude seems to be messed up with the charging statistics so I can never be sure. I'll have to see if that gets better when I get a new battery. Call volume is also fine
[HTC Sensation] corkythetard:
I will definitely check it out! Thanks for the suggestion. :good:

Out of curiosity, and ignorance, what are the differences between the two? I'll go do some searching before you respond, but I figured I should ask someone who has experience with both.

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

I'm on the 10/8 build and really haven't had any of the major issues I see everyone posting about. :knocks on wood: The 10/8 build keeps all system settings changes stuck, as opposed to having to go back and reset them every time you reboot.

My wifi is weak, but sporadically. Doesn't appear to be a major issue for me, but I'm not the general population either. :)

If you've just installed the ROM, zen, you need to let it cycle through a few battery charges while the ROM settles. My battery drain is marginal at worst and I'm still using the stock battery from when I bought my Sensation back in January.

I've also had no call volume issues. What build you on, zen?

Hope this helps! I'm lurking in the development threads to find bug fixes and what not. Patiently waiting for the FFC issue to be fixed. After that, it would be a stable build, in my humble and semi-retarded ROM opinion. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] MrSoulSOng:
Well it has some better options than CWM. Much better GUI. Overall, a much better user experience. Also 4ext Recovery Control is awesome.

Guess what?! *Drum roll*

The ROM is now a RC build (9th October) with the fix for the FFC! :D

Enjoy!
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Just a note that Bruce has fixed the FFC! :)

[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
Hello,

long-time "forum lurker", first post, sorry if this seems OT.

Used LeeDroid 7.3 and DarkForrest over past 1,5 years; switched in September to Bruce's JB ROM (Oct 9 now), which is amazingly fast and fluid.

Actually don't miss any of the Sense stuff for my regular use and system is very stable for me at least (no big wifi/data issues).

One thing I'd like to share for people using System Tuner Pro (STP): setting it's CPU "Reapply on boot" option most likely interferes with JB's own option in the performance/processor settings (German language here, so I assume my translation's close enough).

I chose to use "init.d" in STP and disable JB's on boot setting for this with min 192 and max 1551MHz.

The advantage here is that with this the values are not reset between ROM updates as they're stored in a separate script file.

Also switched to "lagfree" instead of "badass" for subjectively better performance.

Users that reported extreme battery drains should consider disabling some/all auto-sync settings, especially within the Google settings.

Personally I've had great experience with using "2x Battery" app to restrict online status in intervals and automatic airplane mode for the night etc. But other apps may offer the same features.

In short: for me the best rom my phone has seen since stock, with great support by Bruce :good: and the overall xda community, thanks to all!

The new Oct 10 build has been upgraded to Android 4.1.2

And before anyone asks, use the Goo mirror download link for now not the main FTP server. It's only on Goo so far. So just chill out and don't whine that you can't find the link.

Also, for anyone wondering what's in the new version of Android, first off it's not a complete redesign nor will it help create sustainable clean energy through cold fusion or anything. So don't expect the phone to suddenly fly or make you more attractive to women. It's mostly bug fixes.

Here's more high level info about it....

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...4-1-2-at-the-low-level-developer-commit-logs/

If you want detailed low level info Google hasn't released an official changelog yet, but a bunch of Mountain Dew chugging code nerds apparently stayed up all night to reverse engineere an unnoficial changelog available here. And bless their wonderful geeky selves for doing it!

Hail to the Geek! (Which is a fantastic song by a band called the Def Pedestrians that I highly recomend for all the proud nerds in the crowd)

[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
@Skipjacks: thanks for those links, I only read the androidpolice blog earlier.

I went through the detailed commit list... in addition to improved enterprise WLAN handling, there are a couple related to CDMA, which might be targeted to fix the shaky mobile connection issues reported repeatedly. I hope to see less RILJ wakelocks in BBatteryStats.

Just flashed 4.1.2 over today's earlier build without issues. In the settings no new settings as expected, but several fixed German translations, probably for other countries, too.

Amazing to see 2 builds within the same day, especially now with 4.1.2 just been released.

BIG thanks to Bruce! :laugh:

How to install?

Can anyone link to a youtube video about how to install Bruce2728 CM10 Kang onto a sensation? Is supercid still needed?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Do you have the 3.32 or 3.33 firmware installed already? If so it's insanely easy.

Are you s-off or s-on? (If you don't know, you're s-on)

It can be installed either way. But how to do it depends on your security status.
[HTC Sensation] tarryl:
I'm using ViperS from the hype from OP and just this thread even though there are bugs I will be trying this rom out :)
[HTC Sensation] protohamster:
I'm S-OFF, I did the revolutionary S-off back before doing any upgrades. I'm not sure about the firmware, I have whatever the last ICS Update for Tmobile Sensation 4G uses.

Is superCID still needed? It seemed to be a very important thing 6 months ago. But no recent posts have mentioned it. I think I'm going to go the custom rom route because I seriously doubt HTC will be upgrading this device to Jelly Bean.
[HTC Sensation] wildcontigo:
Tried JB, and I guess it is a matter of taste. It took me forever to set it up to my liking. Folder would not create easily on the screens. Ended up installing go launcher and widgets to make it more pleasant and integrated at the same time but it became slower until I had to finally accept that sense is what makes my sensation a sensation. The widgets and integration cannot be beaten from the get go. Also I did not notice any gains in speed with JB vs Sense.
