Skip, could you go into a bit more detail about how exactly to freeze parts of the GSF via Titanium. Also, are you finding that disabling the same parts of the GSF still helps even on the most recent build? (10/30) I remember seeing a couple of your posts in the ROM thread about still getting these crazy wakelocks.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Don't use Titanium. Use System Tuner Pro. Titanium won't let you disbale individual elements of an .apk. STP does.

Open STP, choose 'Startups' from the menu.

Find Google Services Framework.

Uncheck the boxes on the right for the lines I listed in my post on this. (It's linked in the 2nd post of this thread)

That's it!

Also, freeze GTalk and Google Search entirely. STP will let you do that too.

This should work on any ROM, any build, any version. It's completely related to the GSF, which is not intergrated into the ROM.

I've read in the main thread about how to disable s2w and I can't do it. All the serious I think I've some correctly. Put the S2W file in the correct directory, open and replace the first number with a 0 and then at permissions. I'm on the 2 November build. Cheers for any help.

Edit: Did it, after doing tyre same thing about 30 times.
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
There's a way to push the file by adb tool, but that's for a different time.

Use a file explorer tool like ES File Explorer, Root Explorer or Total Commander. These tools have an option to mount

the /system partition in read/write mode.

The file "05s2w" file should look like this to disable s2w:

echo 0 > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake

Then open the file explorer tool, enable the root option (if not already done), and copy the file into the /system/etc/init.d folder.

Important: within the tool check the permissions of the file to be "rwxr-xr-x" so that it is at least readable and executable to all.

Then reboot the phone and s2w should be toggled (I haven't tested if executing this script from shell does toggle s2w correctly).
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Hey Skip, after disabling parts of the GSF, does your data turn blue anymore? I still have access to everything, it's more of an aesthetic thing than anything else.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
No.

That is one of the casualties of this fix.
[HTC Sensation] Brolly916:
tryied this but the problem is still persisting .... i've notices from about phone >status > wi-fi mac address = unavailable and bluethooth address is unavailable too and ideas what it could be the problem ?
[HTC Sensation] Josebencosme:
I have a problem I install the rom November 2, when I go to take a picture with flash the phone automatically turns off only yesterday I spend 3/4 times but today the same thing happened again
[HTC Sensation] Brolly916:
i went into Phone information ( dial *#*#4636#*#*) and went into wifi status, and its stating

Supplicant State: UNINITIALIZED
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Okay, just wondering thanks! I'll let you know how my wakelocks change after disabling parts of the GSF

Hi, I have WiFi perfomance issue.

When I do SIP call over wi-fi sound flickered, when I do same call over hdspa/3g - everything goes fine.

I start using JB form paranoid ROM and it have such problem, than I installed bruce from 23 October and it works fine, 25 works OK too, and than (

27 October) WiFi drivers reverted and I have that problem again :)

I have not seen such problem on ICS and earlier.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] giantflash:
For the google wakelocks. I tried a few things this afternoon and for the color of the signal bar: If you don't disable these:

talk.TalkProvider

gtalkservice.ServiceAutoStarter

gtalkservice.service.GTalkService

the color will change. I will try how often my phone will awake from sleeping with this.
[HTC Sensation] iamabot:
Hi everybody, a couple of quick questions. First off, I realize that the "Chrome graphical issue" has already been addressed at the top of the thread, just wondering how this manifests itself. Is this the flicker/stutter I get as I scroll through webpages in Chrome?

My second question relates to Flash. I realize Flash is no longer supported, but I went ahead and installed it anyway, the results have been far less than I had hoped for. Has anyone else given Flash Player a shot in this ROM and if so, how has your experience been? And if it has been bad as mine, can we chalk that up to Flash's incompatibility with Jelly Bean or Flash's incompatibility with this ROM? In other words, should I hold out and hope it starts to perform better or should I just give up Flash completely, accept it, and move on?

Thanks in advance for any insight any of you can provide.
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
I'm not using either of them, but from what I see in the CM teams' activities, they are still working on fixes related to framebuffer handling (which I suppose are not in the current Nov 5 build judging from the timeline).

I'd say just stay tuned for the coming weeks and flash newest builds as they come, those issues you experience may be resolved then. :)
[HTC Sensation] TorpedoGirl:
How can I use the USB OTG function? I already have the right cable.
[HTC Sensation] S.K.O.W:
My swipe function on the keyboard is out of sync, it works behind the keyboard and on the part of the screen where the text is displayed, any ideas how to fix this?
[HTC Sensation] Moh Kohn:
I have no idea what you are taking about, what keyboard?

JB 4.1.2
[HTC Sensation] S.K.O.W:
The keyboard used for texting seems to be in front of the swipe text function so i it doesn't recognize this feature. As in the swipe to text gestures runs behind my keyboard instead of in front. Il try and put up a screen shot of this to show you
[HTC Sensation] S.K.O.W:
This kind of thing
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
That's not the default keyboard, I assume you installed some of the 4.2 keyboard packages floating around?

I can't reproduce your issue with the 4.2 one I got installed. Maybe you should revert to normal keyboard and re-install the 4.2 keyboard.

If the issue then still exists, there's probably nothing someone else can do for you short of suggesting a fresh install.
[HTC Sensation] Moh Kohn:
You can't really come into a thread that is helping with ROM problems, with a problem with a keyboard that is not in the ROM.

Wipe and start again as suggested above.

JB 4.1.2
[HTC Sensation] S.K.O.W:
All ive done is to flash this ROM and nothing else, I havent installed any different keyboard or any mods, so by this I was assuming it was a bug with this ROM and posted on here! I have flashed the new 06Nov build and still having the same problem, I will try and install a new keyboard, and go from there
[HTC Sensation] dsymbol:
Hi,

sorry for the noob question, but for ROMs with ASOP, will they cause wakelocks like ASOK?

I'm using Maildroid, does that also cause the wakelocks?

Thanks.

Phone not recognizing when hooked to USB.

New problem. Just realized today when I plugged my phone in to my PC via USB the "mount SD card" prompt failed to show up. No idea what is causing this. To clarify, when I plug in, it charges fine, but the USB icon fails to appear and the "mount SD card" prompt with the picture of the USB "Andy the Android" fails to appear as well. Any suggestions as to how I might troubleshoot this issue?

Huge battery drain!!!

HI everyone. Since i could post any reply on the rom thread so i came here and see if anyone can help solving the issue im experiencing. the battery drain is huge using cm10 . no matter it is bruce's cm10 or aokp or paranoidandroid. im not sure if it is 4.1.2 related since i believe this weird battery drain never existed in early builds. right now, the battery drops 2 percent with screen on within 30 mins. And with screen off, the drain still exist. i hv captured the battery usage data . could anyone tell me if there's a way to fix this? is this related to the "wakelock" thing? i really like this rom but the battery drain issue is bugging me. i have to switch back to sense based rom (no weird battery drain) as daily driver. anyway thank you in advance.
[HTC Sensation] helpmeguys:
Surely its something to do with the massive proportion of Google services battery usage....mine is never anywhere near that lvl. There must be some constant data transfer or something going on. Can you try stopping the Google account sync or something and see if the services usage diminishes?
[HTC Sensation] flashaholic_24:
ya. i hv already turned off auto sunc and gps. didnt installed any apps. just a fresh install. i did a full wipe and format all partition. thx!
[HTC Sensation] iamabot:
ZRAM?

Hey everybody, I'm curious about ZRAM? The top of Bruce's thread suggests that we have to do some editing in the "system/etc/init.d/89bruce" file folder in order to enable it. I have no idea what ZRAM is and am wondering if it's worth my time to enable and if so, what kind of editing would need to be done in that folder? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
The time it took to write your inquiry, you could have found sufficient matieral by google, just saying.

ZRAM is basically an in-memory compression mechanism, which *should* work fine, but had some issues in earlier (other) roms.

Please see 1st post where editing the 89bruce file is already mentioned in case you'd like to enable it (currently hard-coded for 100MB).
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
When you went through the Google account setup, did you activate the option to backup your phone to google server? This may impose lot of background traffic as well.

[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
Hi guys, wanted to ask this for a while but never found the time until now so here goes :) when I first started using Bruce's rom the keyboard had smiles faces as default in the bottom right corner. Which I liked very much and found very useful. But as of maybe 2 or 4 builds ago the keyboard has changed and now only shows emoticons during the SMS quick text pop up window. Does anyone know how I can re-enable the permanent emoticons to the stock keyboard? I am still on Bruce's 6/11/12 rom :) cheers, heavy metal man.

edit: never mind I found it. It's in the MMS app settings and I don't think its actually part of the keyboard :)
[HTC Sensation] vertes:
OTG function doesn't works for me with Bruce's ROM.

Anybody with the same problem?

But i installed Tamcore kernel over this ROM, and now my USB stick and my USB mouse just work fine.
[HTC Sensation] Joris84:
In bruces CM10 thread, I found a link to Hypernonsense rom, which was said should be battery saving. In the screenshot, which explains the flashing of the rom, there is talk about firmware 3.33 and superwipe, I am now running bruces CM10, do I need special things to go from CM10 to Hypernonsense? Sorry for this off topic, i didn't want to open a new thread.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
No. Just do a full wipe first. HNS should boot up right away afterwards.
[HTC Sensation] Joris84:
Thanks you
[HTC Sensation] ThizizKenny:
I wanted to keep this out of the rom thread, I'm not concerned about the differences between os2 and cm10 but my question is, is os2 just as stable as cm10? just as fast? Thanks in advance

I'm using it atm, seems as stable. I haven't noticed any differences really.

Any ideas on how to fix wifi, did a fresh flash on 16th Nov build, but all i get is a message that the wifi is turning on, and thats it,
[HTC Sensation] gsloop:
Reboot at Welcome / Language select

I've flashed the cm-10-20121114-bruce2728-pyramid and it boots fine.

However, once it boots for the first time, you get the initial "select language" screen.

I can scroll though the different languages and power the screen up and down, but once I select English, it starts the config [scrolling line] and then reboots.

I've seen some comments about this behavior elsewhere, but no speculation on what caused it.

Re-flashed a second time after a full wipe/format of cache/system - still no joy.

[I also flashed gapps after the JB rom, gapps-jb-20121011-signed - not that I think it matters, but perhaps it does...]

TIA

Games not working

i have noticed that games like beach buggy blitz, nfs most wanted and deadzone are suddenly not working in d latest build. any ideas how to fix this??
[HTC Sensation] iamabot:
Thanks tobitege, I think my confusion came from the fact that he doesn't explicitly mention in the folder or the FAQ how to turn the ZRAM on, where there is a set of instructions for other options in that folder (like the BADASS governor). I assume that it's just changing zero to one. . . but you were right, if I had read more carefully I could have figured out most of the information I needed was in the system/etc/init.d/89bruce folder. Anyway, I changed 0 to 1 for TUN, and 0 to 1 for ZRAM and assume that turns those options on. Thanks for the help.
[HTC Sensation] aVe2000:
Hello Tobitege,

regarding your tips for wakelock problems:

this is not complete(ly true), if you ask me. I'd like to share my experience.

For me it seems you simply have to do the following steps:

- start google search|go to settings|disable Google now

- use a tool like autostarts*|disable everything with gtalk, youtube, picasa uploader and (g)maps in it's name

- go to the sync profiles|disable all you do not really need (e.g. mail: sync manually)

- dont use any live wallpapers

- dont use widgets that automatically update its contents

- go to system settings|performance(? not sure, in german it's 'leistung')|cpu|choose BADASS and then ... change initd file of bruce for badass to '3'

- additionally i disabled News & weather with the autostarts* tool because i use greader for news and weather pro for weather

- go to system settings|backup & reset (?, in german 'Sichern & zurücksetzen)|disable backup data

- disable all location based stuff

- go to system settings|display|disable automatic light adjustments

- not sure if this is relevant: i did set the silent time mode for the night (system settings|sound)

Dont forget one of these points and you will get a battery life with 2days while medium use.

e.g. my current use:

yesterday i listended to music for at least 4 hours using apollo, reading xda multiple times (4h 56min awake time). Now i have 1d12h (1d 7h deep sleep) since boot and 37% battery left.

This is working now since the last 10 builds or so. Feel free to implement this into your faq.

*you have to buy autostarts for 1,50€/$, but its really worth it, i think. Just for make that clear: I dont know the guy who is developing this tool. Also you can install system tuner from the app store. There is also a system tuner pro version (3€), but i dont know the differences between them.
[HTC Sensation] KarelWiel:
Hello (Gutentag),

Love your tips on the batterysaving, but how can I edit the initd file? (Never done that before)

Thanks in Advance (Vielen Dank :) )

Karel

Ps: If it were just talking I could of asked in German, but my german typing isn't very good, but I can fully read, listen & speak :)
[HTC Sensation] sweethurt:
A simple and noob question, i wanna ask, what is zram ?

And how can i activate it, like zram, usb fast charge and many more ?
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
@Sweethurt: just read post at top of page... and especially the first post on the rom thread itself, please!

@aVe2000: Thanks for your list. Those battery saving measures were considered "common sense" and left out, those also very much depend on a user's preferences in app usage. Still, a great addition which I'll copy to the OP soon.

Edit: your list is in 3rd post, slightly edited for readability, hope you don't mind
[HTC Sensation] aVe2000:
Hello Karel,

(ot: thank you for your friendly words. I fully understand your german. So you are better than me. I cannot speak czech or slovakian. Only a bit russian. But i know that no east european wants to speak that. :) )

So, if you want to edit that file, you should follow these instructions:

- install es file explorer (or another)

- thanx to Moh Kohn: switch settings to have root access and mount system

- use es file explorer to go to 'system/etc/init.d' (usually you are at the start of that file explorer on the sdcard. Just go upwards one level and then follow the given path)

- edit the 89bruce file: go to badass entry and change it to BADASS=3

- save the changed file

- Attention: reset the file permissions to 'rwx r-x r-x'. You can do that with a long press on that file and choose properties. There should be a button called 'permission' or something.

- reboot

You should be done now.

Feel free to change whatever you want. Thats the spirit of open source and open data. And i am happy if i can give back a little bit of what i got from all of the xda community. Also i am a software engeneer i really appreciate communicating users and a good faq.
[HTC Sensation] Moh Kohn:
You should go into es file explorer settings to allow root access and to mount system or you will not be able to save the file change.

JB 4.1.2
[HTC Sensation] dtespud:
I'm getting a min/max cpu frequency issue with the 19/11 build, if I set them to anything other than default and let the phone sleep for a sec they default to 384MHz. The only way to avoid this is to leave it using Ondemand with 192/1566 as min/max. I'd like min cranked up a bit so Skype works.

It's a completely fresh install, wiped data/cache as I came from Virtuous Inquisition, wiped /system too just in case. Flashed latest build of bruce + the right gapps, booted, works fine except for the cpu frequency thing. Can anyone suggest where to start with this? Changing governor sticks, but the cpu speeds default to 384 each time if I alter anything.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Disabling Google Now will not disable the Google Now wakelocks. Same thing with GTalk. It doesn't work because the wakelocks aren't caused by those apps. They are caused by the Google Services Framework, which is a separate APK in itself that will keep trying to activate those apps even if you delete them entirely. And there's no list of options for the GSF where you can disable it's attempts to do so. You have to kill it's ability to do that in its internal startups.
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
It sounds like a misunderstanding: the min/max values are working fine. If the CPU is idle the min frequency is used to save battery juice.

All governors scale to max freq in different steps/timings except the "performance" governor which jumps to max freq right away when CPU is used. What you describe is normal behavior.

Also, did you check the "Set on boot" option in Settings|Performance|Processor etc. as well to make it stick?
[HTC Sensation] aVe2000:
Hello Skipjacks,

sorry skip, buts thats not true. As i can see the deep sleep time on my phone correlates with my awake or on screen times. For me it was working to disable autostart of those tools with the autostarts tool. Maybe this tool 'sees' somehow the start attempts of the framework. I dont know. If you want, feel free to test it. I nearly had a 3day run with my battery with light/medium use. And i didnt mess intentionally with framework stuff.

Regards
[HTC Sensation] dtespud:
If I change anything, and let the phone idle (screen off for a little while), when I wake it back up it's set the cpu min and cpu max values to 384, whereas I'd left them at min 648 and max 1566. Rebooting sets it back to Ondemand, with min 192 & max1566 set, which the phone is happy with. Any changes just get ignored and it defaults to 384 for both each time.

Set on boot does works, it applies whatever I've set before. And then after the phone sleeps, it'll wake back up at 384/384.

In the screenshot I set it to Ondemand, Min 648, Max 1566, rebooted and went to get a cup of tea. Came back to that. Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
That's very strange that the max is set to wrong value, can't remember having seen that before.

Are you using any 3rd party apps related to CPU tweaking that could be interfering?

Also, is your phone S-OFF?
[HTC Sensation] dtespud:
Phone is S-Off, running 3.33 firmware, 1.76A radio etc, ARMv2 cpu, SuperCID. The only tweak I'd applied before is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1882725 - but clearing the /system partition should've removed this, right?

As far as I'm aware, no third party apps should be interfering, it was doing this on a fresh wipe with nothing but gapps on.
[HTC Sensation] dattika:
lockscreen delay

Hy all,

Since the 4.1. Jelly Bean we have an inproved notification bar which gives us a lot of information about our new messages, sms, etc.

We have an extended preview for this things.

And the problem is: when we would like to check and read few sentence from a new e-mail without unlock the screen we have only 5 sec for this before the screen turns off.

Is there any solution for this? I mean can I set the screen delay during the screen is locked?

Thanks for your help!

Domi
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
IDK the reason nor a fix for the issue you experience, sorry.

Your firmware etc. setup look perfect to me.

The patch, however, is for other devices and the patched file looks different on the sensation from just looking at it.

And yes, installing any rom would have removed this patch either way as /system normally gets formatted.
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
Not sure if this is a customizable value somewhere, have you tried searching for e.g. "lockscreen timeout"?
[HTC Sensation] dtespud:
How far up will I have to wipe to get shot of any potential issues? I've got the same phone as a few people on here, but I seem to be the only one with this issue. I can't find anything on google either. I don't really know much about any of this unfortunately, I've so far just followed guides and gotten a working phone. Until now. Something broken in my bootloader maybe? Cheers :)
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
Hmm... I'd go with 4ext as recovery, using its' "Format all partitions except SD card" option before installing the rom, no other wiping needed.

Then either go through all the hoops to re-install your apps fresh or use TB or similar for restoring those.

Probably check the issue again even before restoring *any* apps which could help identify if it's in CM or not.

Just my 2 cents, though. :)
[HTC Sensation] dtespud:
Done the 4ext recovery format + install, hasn't solved it unfortunately. Setting the min governor speed to anything other than 192 reverts both values to 384 after it sleeps for a bit, I can drop the max and it seems to keep it. I checked /init.d/89bruce, set badass to 1 (from 2 default) and fast charge to 2 (from 0) to see if anything different happened (plus I want fast charge :)) and that's not changed anything.

It did seem to work briefly, until I set the governor to badass and back. I only tested one sleep cycle of this, and thought "oh nice, fixed!", but changed back to ondemand without leaving the menus. Sounds silly, but I'm wondering if even trying badass broke things. Might re-do this all again later and never leave ondemand. Going by android being linux based, there's probably a text file somewhere sabotaging me...

Cheers :)

edit: setting it to badass, with min 192, max 1566 looks like it keeps those speeds. I'm testing further, between work and phones. Could be magic?
[HTC Sensation] Craphead:
Hey,

take cover, noob question incoming! Is there any way to turn the camera sounds off in this rom? :) cause actually i like the cam app the way it is but the sounds are just annoying...
