[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
FAQ for [ROM][CM10][Kang][Pyramid][RC][4.1.2]

This is a FAQ for users who would like to start (or just have) with Bruce's amazing ROM and run into issues.

The development thread is frequently seeing already-answered questions, frustrating many others

and drastically blowing up the thread.

Thank you Bruce for your great work and allowing us to experience a revitalized Sensation!

Obviously also big THANKS to the whole CM team, whoever you are! :)

In order to help out those users and lessen Bruce's workload to follow the thread, this should be a community effort,

so please feel free to post any items that need to be added or mistakes were made (I wrote this up from memory).

I'm bad with names, so I apologise beforehand to not plug every username here, thanks to whoever contributed!

If you are new to the rom: please take at least a few minutes to use the SEARCH feature FIRST with corresponding keywords

before posting a question, chances are pretty good that it's been answered already (many times).

Mods: if I missed to follow any guideline here, please let me know and I'll fix asap.

Q: I'm on a different ROM, what should I do?

A: Read the full first post as it already includes hints for installation.

You should then also check to have a current firmware (3.32 at least).

The first post has 2 different download links, one or both of them will have

the current version. If you do not see it in the first link (the >>>I AGREE <<< link),

just think for a second and click the mirror link!

There's also a link to a current gapps package (install from recovery as well).

If you think you need different versions, please search the dev forum first before asking,

there are plenty of tweaked/inverted versions out there.

Q: I'm on a previous build of Bruce's, what should I do?

A: just install the current build over it, you do not need to manually wipe dalvik/cache as the install does it already.

Q: Do I need a different kernel or can I switch to a different kernel?

A: Bruce included his own tweaked kernel. Other kernels (like tamcore) may also work,

but also may break things that Bruce had explicitly built in.

I haven't yet seen clear evidence that switching to another kernel offers anything, so

my personal opinion is: don't mess with it, just because you read about some fancy

tweak in another rom's thread.

Q: My data icon keeps flickering/bad connections?

A: this is a often discussed issue with unclear cause (as of now) and happened not only

to TMO users in the US, but also in other countries.

Yesterday it was reported, that getting a new SIM card fixed this issue (at least for

several months for another user).

Please search the thread also for more details/investigations by SkipJacks.

Q: There are graphical issues with Chrome?

A: This has been a known issue for weeks and still needs fixing (either Chrome gets fixed or new display drivers are released).

Q: Where can I find the option to dis-/enable the screen off CRT animation?

A: Settings -> Developer options: set "Window animation scale" to "0.5" or "off"

Q: Is it possible to have Sense widgets?

A: No, not the same Sense ones (this is a different software base). Check Play Store for widgets.

Q: How do I enable/disable Sweep2Wake?

This is disabled by default. To change this, it requires a mounted /system partition.

Use a root-enabled file explorer like the free "ES File Explorer", which has extra root

options to auto-mount it in read/write-mode (thus enable that option).

Then go edit this file as text:

/system/etc/init.d/89bruce

In it are separate sections for sweep2wake, tun and badass governor, like

SWEEP2WAKE=0

Change the value 0 to one of the values described right there in the file, read carefully!

Some changed settings can be activated by executing it in a terminal.

If unsure how to do that, do a manual reboot.

Q: The default badass governor behaves differently (or you experience lag)?

Proceed as with above answer, but this time change this line:

BADASS=2

The default is fairly well for battery, but set value to 1 to activate higher max. frequency.

Q: The camera does not have previous picture sizes, like 16:9?

Oct 25 build has the camera options now also list "8 16:9", "8 5:3" etc.

Q: My facebook app displays wrong/huge fonts?

A: Reported and confirmed by many to be a FB app issue after last weeks FB updates.

Q: My facebook app does not sync?

Syncing was removed by FB some while ago, but can be done by other apps (HaxSync?)

Q: Wifi hotspot does not work?

A: this is currently reported to be broken (Oct 25), but Bruce will certainly take care of it

when he has the time. Please do not report this repeatedly or ask him daily, also

follow the release notes.

Q: Call volume or headphone volume is out of whack?

A1: at least once after rom install, use volume rockers to set max volume and then

back down to normal level.

A2: Settings -> Sound -> uncheck "Safe headset volume"

Q: Can I install BeatsAudio?

A: with some extra package installed, probably (needs an extra sense framework),

search the dev forum for it.

but it might interfere with the built-in "DSP Manager" and cause other issues.

Please reply for answers to add... and hit Thanks if this helped you. :)

See next posts for more...!

Cheers
