I first tried with 3.8.1 but since it didnt work i thought it was maybe because it is a beta, so i flashed 3.1. I couldnt make it work with neither of them....

Btw, is htc smartsync disabled?

[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
I can only 1 question

4ext is a script included in all sense 4 Roms. vipers, elegancia, ...

all of them has this script

and download all of them and have a look, they are all the same

I choose the script which has more tweaks inside

you dont have to worry about the incompability. it is totally safe and useful
[HTC Sensation] rq005:
Confirmed, htc smartsync not working or disabled. Wifi doesnt go off during nights. Wiimote isnt working either. I am currently using v3.1 stable.

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] yazzabo:
I finally flash newboot.img from 4ext recovery updater that makes it easier! I install pyd 3.8.1 and mod 3.8 to see and test! I found that after flashing the mod the available space in the swap partition is reduced to 149 mb (I have a swap partition of 256 mb) it is normal?
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
maybe it is due to zram script

go to system/etc/init.d and delete 90zram
[HTC Sensation] yazzabo:
U right! I delete it and all get normal! Thanks so mutch
[HTC Sensation] Super-Android:
I have been a great fan of this kernel, and have been using it since the launch of version 1, but off late there is some weird charging issue which have made me switched to bricked kernel.!!!

After updating to ViperS 1.4.0, i flashed dis kernel, but then, while charging this kernel seems to stuck at 99% and it kinda takes forever to reach the mark of 100%, M really not sure y is this issue coming, calibrated my battery and stuffs, M on anker 1990mAH battery, not issue with battery or charger cause with bricked its fine, it taked oddly 2 and half hour to get charge completely from 33% to 100% in bricked..

Pther rhan dis no complain regarding perfomance and battery life, any suggestion to look in to this issue..!!
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
no problem to me

maybe it's just wrong battery reading

try to calibrate your battery (physically) when you see this issue:

I totally find a VERY EFFECT WAY TO FLASH PYD-X KERNEL WITHOUT FLASHING BOOT.IMG THROUGH PC

I will post the steps in detail later

Thanks some users for their valuable suggestion
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
I dont have much time so I can summarize the steps to do this:

You can see it is long but it is VERY EASY

1/ Preparation:

- Any nandroid backup of any ROM. You dont need to care about this. Just take advantage of the backup

- 4Ext recovery Update v2.4.2 (old version). We need to use the old version because we can enable Advance Mode and Disable md5 check. Newer version, this feature has been blocked. Click here to download

- A pc with winrar, winzip or 7-zip,... to copy and paste the file only

- ROM installing package of you current ROM. For example: ViperS_1.4.1.zip or Sense_4.1_V2.3.1.zip (elegancia)

2/ Procedure:

- Download, install and open 4ext recovery updater v2.4.2 apk

- It will ask you to update to a newer version => ignore

- Settings -> Tick Advance Mode

- Turn to the Recovery tab -> scroll down to Recory settings -> uncheck MD5 sum check ===> this step is important

- Open ROM archive file using winrar or winzip

- Open kernel folder -> extract boot.img to your desktop

- Plug in your phone in USB storage mode or just simply insert the SD card to the pc

- Open clockwordmod folder -> backup folder -> Open the folder of any nandroid backup of any ROM

- Copy boot.img from that folder to another place => in order to backup that file

- Replace the boot.img that you have just backed up with the boot.img in your desktop

=> done

- Go to Recovery -> flash the newest PYD-X kernel

- You should get bootloop ==> pull out the battery and put it in ==> Go to recovery again

- In Recovery menu -> choose Backup / Restore => Advanced Restore => Restore from backup

- Choose the ROM that you replaced its boot.img with the boot.img from the desktop

- Flash PYD-X kernel again

========> Try to reboot and you can see PYD-X kernel is BOOTING NORMALLY :)

after that, revert the steps of 4ext recovery updater. enable md5 check sum and replace the boot.img with the original one
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Hi did you realize that once you extract the boot.img from ROM to Sd card you then open 4ext updater select recovery then select flash boot image, navigate to your boot.img and select it, done. Then flash kernel :)

Sent from my HTC Sensation with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
it is useful sometimes

however, I tried to flash boot.img first and flashed the kernel after => still got bootloop (50-50):)

if we flash the kernel first and then flash boot.img => it will work 100% :good:
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
I always flash the boot.img first before the kernel with success but via fastboot. I do this as I thought flashing the kernel edits the boot.img

So doesn't this kernel installation edit the boot.img?

[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
I tried to use a boot.img from my old ViperS backup when I still used sebastian kernel

I flashed it over pyd kernel and after rebooting, it said sebastianFM kernel, not PYD :rolleyes:

=> kernel does edit boot.img

Here I think PYD kernel does something that breaks the incompatible boot.img , especially ~16mb boot.img

I have never flashed insecured boot.img and maybe that is the reason why I can't flash this kernel. My boot.img after or before munually flashing through fastboot is always 16mb, never change (ViperS boot.img is only ~4.5mb)

But I dont know why I only flash a clean boot.img and PYD kernel still works

p/s: PYD kernel was working correctly and I tried to flash another kernel (Bricked) and then reflashed PYD kernel => bootloop again :|
[HTC Sensation] slobo2712:

[HTC Sensation] ash123456678:
I have got sixaxis to work with my ps3 controller and the wiimote should be the same :) If it doesn't work then I'm guessing its the app that's not working properly.
[HTC Sensation] rq005:
The problem is that most of wiimote apps doesnt work in sense.

The op says that the kernel has a different bluetooth driver so maybe it allows the apps to stablish the connection with the wiimote.

[HTC Sensation] hunt:
Check the solution posted by ganeshp.....In 1st post pacha already mentioned that......:)

EDIT:: let it be more clear....what i did was..

1. Flashed the kernel...definitely bootloops.....but don't worry,just smile :)

2. Extract boot.img from Viper 1.4.0.zip (from Kernel folder)

3. Copy boot.img to your current ADB folder

4. start ADB..

5. Put phone into bootloader/fastboot mode..

6. Apply the command fastboot flash boot boot.img (check it first..i think its correct)

7. After boot.img flashed,diconnect the phone from PC & flash the Kernel via Recovery....Its done... :)
[HTC Sensation] slobo2712:
installed : ) tnx a lot for tutorial just tell me what version is better stable or that latest beta?
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
I prefer the beta version

However, the beta one is missing something such as: zram script and init.qcom.post_boot.sh -> cpu1 wont be turned off => consumes more battery

I suggest flashing the kernel beta version and then flash the latest AROMA mod to get everything back. Moreover, you can customize it a little bit through AROMA menu in order to save some juice
[HTC Sensation] hunt:
+1 axetilen

I read your posts carefully before I flash the Kernel....Flashed the latest beta version and then applied your MOD....And here is the Outcome....

[HTC Sensation] topjohnwu:
Having a question, I'm using darksense rom with PYD-X kernel. I activated zram in mod, and checked free in terminal. It has a 150mb swap there, but it seems like it was never used(cached always 0). Is this some kind of issue?

Edit : Found out that the swappiness is set to 0. But another question is, after reboot the swappiness will be changed back to 0 even if I changed it. Is there something wrong?
[HTC Sensation] kkk121:
Read the following link and that should help you fixing the issue.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34368823
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
there must be something that changes the swapiness value

this kernel automatically sets swappiness = 90 by default and the MOD doesnot change the swappiness itself

I found what the issue is:

It is because darksense ROM, the DEVs added a script in init.d folder named "01edt_tweaks"

# Tweak kernel VM management
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

=> it is not the kernel fault

you can change this value to 90 or 100
[HTC Sensation] topjohnwu:
Wow, great. Thanks a lot!!
[HTC Sensation] The_Hamster:
Keep getting random reboots, no pattern to them.. kmsg is attached..

CPU is at 1188 Mhz, UV at -75 mV (Stable on every other single ROM and kernel) and I'm running ViperS 1.4.1
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
did you choose -75mV in AROMA mod and then chose -75mV again in venom tweaks:confused:

I saw something weird:

[ 1.916259] [VREG] vreg_set_voltage: 8058_l9: request v=[0, 0] is outside possible v=[750000, 4900000]

[ 1.917175] [VREG] vreg_set_voltage: 8058_l10: request v=[0, 0] is outside possible v=[750000, 4900000]
[HTC Sensation] The_Hamster:
Nope, -75 in the Aroma-mod and 0 in Venom Tweak, it reports the proper voltages.. :s
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
so can you go to the venom tweaks and see what is the voltage levels of the first 5 frequencies? (192,384, 432, 486)

if at least 1 of them is at 700mV => there should be another uv script

because the lowest voltage in -75 AROMA script is 725mV
[HTC Sensation] The_Hamster:
192 MHz=725 mV

310 MHz=750 mV

384 MHz=750 mV

432 MHz=775 mV

486 MHz=775 mV

this is just a mod and no kernel inside. you have to mod the full kernel v3.8.1 in the #1 post and then flash the mod v3.8.2 :|

or maybe is there a problem with undervolting?

htc unlocked

tried also to go back to elegancia, with full wipe etc...no luck
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
oh man, S-on -> you must flash boot.img of elegancia manually before you can flash elegancia, only full wipe is useless because boot.img is not applied so how can it boots up

I dont think turning on smartflash is enough
[HTC Sensation] CryptKilla:
With smartflash I managed to install it first time...but after kernel change this problem apears...

How to flash boot.img? And what after flashing?
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
the easiest way is to download the tool and follow step by step the instruction in this site:

http://kgs1992.com/kgs-utility/

download the tool v7.0.2 and then follow his "What do I need to do?"

extract the tool zip to desktop

after that open elegancia ROM .zip file by winrar or winzip or 7zip, whatever

go to "kernel" folder and extract boot.img to the KGS_Utility_v7.0.2 -> Tools

reboot your device to bootloader and press power button to reach fastboot mod

plug in the USB and when you see the red FASTBOOT USB -> it is ready

press Shift and rightclick to any space of the Tools folder and select Open command window here

type:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

press enter

and then the kernel again

if it says FAILED -> let's open Menu.bat from of the tool and choose Option 9 (Flash boot.img (compatible...))

if it doesnot work ---> you should s-off
[HTC Sensation] CryptKilla:
Is there any guide to s-off when I cannot install any rom and I am stuck at bootloader?

http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm -> Is only when you have an rom installed...

with s-off, life is much easier to do everything

you dont have to flash boot.img manually before flashing any ROMs

Yes. the first type connection must fail. My kernel uses the second type, with patched bt firmware. Are u using the full app or the compatibility cheker? Witch version? I suggest u to buy the latest version of full app or search it on Google. I'm using it and everything is fine.

I think you are using a too old version. The old versions wants a file with bt mac address. We haven't it, so the developer have fixed it in the latest versions.

i'm using v0.5.7

EDIT: Remember that the app for now is incompatible with android versions 4.2+

Boot.img from rom or nandroid backup?

And will the rom be wiped?

I have s-on :'(

Sent from my www.callofgods.de :)
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
for s-on users

using fastboot to flash boot.img from the ROM is the best solution

exactly the same way as One X users because they havent had any tool to s-off yet

boot.img from the ROM is the clean one

boot.img from the nandroid is already modified by some kernels so it is not clean anymore and may cause bootloop if you flash PYD kernel
[HTC Sensation] sonnhy:
Is it possible? I got no bootloops..
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
so you are lucky :)

I'm the one who got bootloop and I always have to flash boot.img by recovery or by fastboot
[HTC Sensation] sonnhy:
Lol ;)

So, yeah, i'm lucky, though i remember that i got bootloops with the 3.1..

no it just the boot image to boot the phone up, not affect anything about the ROM

after flashing this, you have to flash the kernel
[HTC Sensation] FrostBlooD:
it says here i need to install the old 4ext recovery apk. but how am i supposed to install the apk when i cant even boot into android? im having bootloops after installing this kernel.. is there like a way that i can install apks using the recovery mode? any help would be pretty much appreciated. thanks!
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
the solution is just installing another kernel and it should boot like usual

and then try the way I wrote or just flash boot.img from the ROM is much easier
[HTC Sensation] haifish9999:
Have you a nandroid backup? If yes restore it simple. If not try to reflash a fresh rom. After that when device booted in,try all axetilen's guide if you want to use this kernel again.
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Nand backup is the best thing to do when updating kernel etc.
[HTC Sensation] FrostBlooD:
I didn't do nandroid backup >< I tried wiping to factory settings and flashed a fresh rom. still no luck. even flashing to another kernel still doesnt solve the issue.

edit: i usually do nandroid backup, but installed PYD-X through the ViperS settings in which it downloads the kernel, installs, and reboots.. and now this. XD
[HTC Sensation] haifish9999:
OK, extract ViperS rom and try to find : boot.img, put this into fastboot folder, then flash this file through fastboot. after that reflash ViperS once again.May be solved your issue.Flash this with command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC Sensation] FrostBlooD:
I tried avoiding fastboot method because I have zero idea how to do it. I did quite a research and it did fixed the problem! thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Sharpi1:
Hey people. I got a strange Problem. It seems that my device dont like the pyd-x kernel. I always get homescreen "slowmotion" switch. Its not really a lag it looks more than a slow switch. Never the less I installed SebastianFM cause my device always runs great with Sebastian Kernel but the pyd-x Kernel left some data on my device cause the slowmotion switch is always there. And I never had this 100000% with Sebastian. So I just want to ask you in which folder I can go and delete something that I can get a fresh Kernel install? Any speciall scripts or ideas? Cause I wont flash the third time my Rom again...

Thank you for every answer :)
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
only flash this, my Powerful kernel reset:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/47039397/MODs/Powerful Kernel Reset - MOD Remover.zip

it will cleanup some leftovers of some kernels which I know and restore some files to their default state

moreover, you can go to system/etc/init.d

Do not delete everything, you will lose some tweaks and some settings of the ROM

these files should be kept: 40ext4tweaks, 98CheckSettings, 99complete

the other ones, you can delete
[HTC Sensation] Sharpi1:
Just tried, but still there... Think theres no other way than full wipe...
[HTC Sensation] axetilen:
what is still there?

just cleanup the init.d folder and done

fullwipe is the best but it is a waste of time sometimes
[HTC Sensation] Sharpi1:
In init.d there are just the Files you mentioned above, deleted 99tun, than your Script, wipe dalvik cache and cache, new flash SebastianFM

dont need any further action
