HTC Sensation Gets Unofficial Alpha CM10.1

POSTED DECEMBER 6, 2012 AT 4:00 PM BY EGZTHUNDER1DIFFICULTY:2

Jelly Bean seems to have found its way to many/most devices on XDA. Since not too many manufacturers are willing or able to provide us with the most recent updates due to a slew of reasons, we need to get somewhat creative in order to stay on top of the fast paced and never-slowing tech world of ours. The time for CM10 has come and gone, with many devices running almost perfect JB AOSP ROMs, but what’s next? What else do we have to look forward to?

Well, as you may be aware, Google has released an incremental update under the same code name, which takes the OS to version 4.2, and very recently a minor bug fix release, which takes it to 4.2.1. Good folks in our forums, like XDA Recognized Developer bruce2728*have decided to take the plunge and start off on the next best thing: CM10.1. This new ROM, which was ported to the HTC Sensation is based on 4.2.1, and as you may have noticed from this article’s title, it is in a very alpha stage. What this means is that you will likely experience tons of bugs and non-functional features. The dev states that so far, camera, Bluetooth, and audio are missing in this build, but you should be able to get most other things working properly, such as WiFi, GSM radio, SD card access, touch screen, and more.

Again, please do not try this unless you are ready to live / cope with bugs that are yet to be fixed. Having said that, if you do take it for a spin, please be sure to share your feedback in the shape of bug reports, logcats, etc. with the dev. Happy flashing and welcome to the future yet again.

This is an*early build of CyanogenMod 10.1 Android 4.2.1 for the HTC Sensation

For people that wonder about any further updates, Bruce today tweeted this:

"there is no support for msm8660 in android 4.2 so cm will have to port it from CAF when it's ready"

Sounds like there are core technical obstacles that need to be dealt with/solved before our Sensation may get a(ny) stable CM 10.1 (JB 4.2).

Might be a good time now for us users to sit back, relax, enjoy our CM10 kang(s) and give Bruce, the CM team and all involved developers some time and room to breath.

Just saying.
[HTC Sensation] Masterloki666:
Agreed Enjoy the holidays and im sure we will get some new good stuff shortly after new years "If we are still here lol"

Ouch. Msm8660 is the chipset of our phones (processor, GPU, etc.)

Of course, they want us to upgrade to the One S. If we do get the upgrade to JB 4.1, hopefully they don't encrypt it like the One S update.

bruce2728,

I and a few others have been working on trying to get 4.2 working on the Samsung GSII Skyrocket/GSII Hercules. It uses the same Snapdragon APQ8060(msm8260/msm8660) SoC/Adreno 220 GPU, and pretty much the same msm8660 kernel source as the HTC Sensation. However, so far no one has been able to get a build with a working display. The phone is either not booting or is booting to a black screen. I browsed around on your github but I didn't see any kernel updates since 4.2 came out, so I was just wondering, did you run into any issues with the display not working, or do anything in particular to get the display working? Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Try taking the gralloc.msm8660.so from my build, that's what was causing me problems as the sensation relies on pmem and ashmem that were removed in 4.2

[HTC Sensation] fcknghst:
Ok, im not quite sure what you are saying - But in any case just REFLASH it all. You can get into recovery by holding the powerbutton and volumedown. Also dont flash kernels and [DEV] roms if you have no idea of what you are doing
[HTC Sensation] carlsontheflyer:
Turn off the phone and charge it. Then boot into recovery by pressing volume down and power simultaneously. When in recovery, do a complete system wipe (all partitions except sd card), and then reflash the rom.
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
Agree its almost impossible to hard brick the sensation. 99.9% of the time reflashing will do the trick.
[HTC Sensation] dollyaja:
Yeahhh,4.2.1 good job bruce,I wait for the right time to flash while subscribe this thread so I won't missed the update :thumbup:

Why do you post useless stuff like this? Two posts above you said that you can't wait. Now you're saying you hope Bruce can finish.

That's at the top of my list, none of the prebuilt hacks work for us, we need to wait for source code for audio
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Source code from htc??? That's an imagination lol
[HTC Sensation] Sunny88:
Just as yours :p

BTW great ROM Bruce I'm still on cm10

at the moment. Once you manage to fix audio then I will come back to this. Keep up the good work. Your efforts are appreciated :)

Can't cm team release The source code sorry im a New noob ?

[HTC Sensation] alex1301:
Cyanogenmod has written on their G+ page that someone made some msm8660 drivers for the htc doubleshot
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Doesn't apply to us.

that was a 3.0.53 kernel built for the doubleshot to get android 4.1.2 partially working, we already have fully functioning android 4.1.2.
[HTC Sensation] Lizardwithhat:
This ROM seems abandoned, when audio is fixed I will switch
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Nope just short of time at the moment.

No he hasn't lol he's working on it though :p

I think we're 8260, 8660 was the flavour with cdma radio included.
[HTC Sensation] Mrgrey44:
Hey I'm new to this whole nightly updates thing or whatever and I wanna know how's the latest update this ROM. Is is stable enough for everyday use or should I wait for it to be stable enough... Whenever that is :D

Can I use a nandroid backup after I tested this rom? I am asking because of the folder changes made with 4.2...
[HTC Sensation] adv392:
Headset on the phone and the mic arent working, su FC
[HTC Sensation] Rajan_96:
Yeah backups won't misbehave if the ROMs aren't the same. You can try any ROM and restore without any issues.
[HTC Sensation] jasew503:
Downloaded and installed the (i assume) latest revision of this rom from the list of tons on the page provided. Wiped and Installed via CWM 5.8. Installed Gapps by link provided and after booting into this rom, play store gives "server error". Contacts from google account dont download, however the gmail messages do. Cant make or receive calls. Wifi works, the only app able to use it seems to be gmail or the browser. Android version shows 4.1.2, I thought it was supposed to be 4.2. I cant select a network operator/gives me an error after searching, however i get full signal bars. All the APN settings for T-mobile appeared to be incorrect, and the APN selected was Tracfone originally (seriously, not sure why its even in there as an option). Coming from stock.

Is this all normal? After many attempts to get stuff working, I gave up. Trying a different rom now.

No my friend,

I think you may be mistaken

we are an msm8660 device.

Iv never even heard of a 8620.......

check here>>>>>>>github.com/bruce2728

the device common is msm8660
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)#Snapdragon_S3

8660 is CDMA variant, 8260 is GSM. They are identical apart from those difference, hence all the dev work comes under the heading of 8660.

We are 8260; http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sensation-3875.php
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
I'm not trying spam but did the cm team fix audio? Thanks in advance...
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
They bought in the qcom audio codecs from CAF but not the hal for 8660.

We also need to write a power hal for 4.2.

The changes to the end user are only small but there is a lot of work needed in the os.

If anybody would like to help get this moving quicker that would be great, I'm pressed for time at the moment, I'll have some spare time when the kids are back in school on the 9th.

well there's a guy who has a ROM with audio fixed, you can use his source since it's open-source, and accelerate things we know you're capable of so many things :good:

Edit: okay i didn't know CM fixed it so, you can delete my post ^^
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Correction, CM team did fix it. This guy is nothing more then a person who takes credit for somebody else's work...

I probably should've said something like that and my post wouldn't have been deleted :D

Given that there are at least two sides to every story, it's probably best not to say anything...

Look at the facts, cherry picking commits and compiling don't make you a dev. Anyways enough OT.
[HTC Sensation] jmcollis:
Well if that's the definition, then 90% of what's here on XDA doesn't qualify.
[HTC Sensation] zimo:
There's a difference between developer and a chef both of them has great impact on community. Only think is (and this is a matter of very thin ice for judgement) how they present their work.

Can we get back OT?
[HTC Sensation] Mazda:
I agree!! If you want to continue on supporting this dude then go google his name.......and find him and his "ROMs" BUT let's respect Bruce and keep things on topic!

Also remember that rules are rules and whether or not you want to argue he was this or that, the facts is that he broke the rules and that's the end of the story!

Go PM a moderator if you want to make the case to bring him back or whatever BUT we don't want to or need to hear all this debate about this banned member :good:

Great job on the ROM Bruce!! Keep things going dude!! :)
[HTC Sensation] consolation:
True that, whatever your opinion is on the DK topic, this is not the place to debate it.

Hey Bruce I was wondering will the drivers for the audio that cm released fix the WiFi hotspot or is that something totally different that we need to fix the WiFi hotspot and camera. Thanks in advance... takecare

Ran this rom for a day, and was impressed with battery life! look forward to bruce's awesome work, and what is to come in the near future for this rom! Granted, non functional items standard this early in the build... but looks pretty darn promising!

Only glitch i came across, was a tiny toggle for beatiful widgets, but suspect thats to do with BW and not this rom.... shall be keeping me eyeballs on this thread... keep on keeping on Bruce! :)

You need this patch from Gerrit: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/30269/

I'm running this right now and so far it's kinda ok. Camera is not working and am trying to figure out why. On Evervolv I had problems with wifi on this I am yet to try if it works (no wifi that I can connect to around)
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
That's with pre built libs. Bruce wants the source itself.
[HTC Sensation] albinoman887:
really? did you do anything else? what repos form evervolv are you using msm8660, htc pyramid, qcom-display-legacy and qcom-audio-legacy? thats what i'm using it boots but then freezes and restarts once it gets to the lock screen

As far as I'm aware he's still working on it but he wants source code instead of prebuilt libs which all the 4.2.1 ROMs you see now are using. Also his computer's broken so don't expect much for now.

I can finally leave limbo and get it in hand tomorrow.

And I heard so many "issues" about the phone,

so before I unlock bootloader and flash thing.

I wanna check the phone completely before risking the warranty

So what is the common "issues" right now?

What I know is:

1. Phone rattle

2. Yellow tint / Too warm display / Dead pixels

3. Buzzing sound

and what else? :confused:

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overhauling:
Appearantly "issue" number 2 (Yellow Tint) is only experienced if you update (OTA) once you receive your nexus. If you don't update you won't experience the yellow tint "issue".
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackasaur:
A static noise when in a call, if the phone is super close to your ear you can hear it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SefEXE:
It went from glue to software?

Hmmm, some people complain about the bottom of their device creaking. Like where the screws/usb port/microphone are. Mine does, but its only if I push on it. Holding it normally, there is no issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overhauling:
I'm sorry, not yellow tint. I meant the washed out colors issue (warm display). My bad!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshtonTS:
That doesn't even make sense.. I guess they changed the color calibrations in the OTA? Well whatever I just hope and pray that my nexus 4 doesn't have any of these issues.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
Don't worry about the color too much. If it could be changed by an OTA then devs will come up with the perfect colors. Think Galaxy Nexus.

There is a small rattle around the camera area if you shake it. Honestly I don't find that a problem since I'm not shaking it constantly.

The buzzing in the earphone/headphone is a bigger problem but not annoying to me. I can't hear it when in calls or listening to music. It's only very pronounced when there is no sound coming out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emama:
I still hope Google itself can have a better tune in the color temp.

About the yellow tint (dots), is it common or just a rare case?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iCalculate:
Most likely a rare case, my phone currently has no issues with yellow spots on the screen
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiensibut:
what about bleeding sceen i seen 2 spot on top of the screen when in dark room just reminded me of LG G2X.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE_KINGDOM:
This is software, kernels are always able to adjust the color balancing and saturation etc once more custom kernels come out this problem will be addressed/fixed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
I've actually experienced this with every smartphone I've owned (Incredible, Droid Razr Maxx, HTC One X, Galaxy Nexus... jeez I've bought a lot of phones). The nexus 4 is no worse than any others.

You'll get that with any LCD really... if it's really bad you might want to see if they'll exchange it, otherwise there's a chance it will be worse if you get it replaced.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiensibut:
Do you have any on your screen??
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emama:
After using for 2 days,

I finally notice yellow spot on the bottom left corner.

Also, the screen of the upper part is whiter than the bottom part.

I noticed this after I applied screen protector, damn....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Yeah, two small areas on the top of the screen where it just looks lighter than the rest. Not bad compared to most LCDs I've used.

I actually had the same issue with two different One X's. The top of the screen was a little whiter while the bottom was a little yellower.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emama:
Ya, i notice the whiter color in the second I turned it on.

I am okay with it. That's why I put my SP on it.

But the yellow spot is not...

So I just called for a replacement.

Dang...need to get one SP again
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrithan2020:
Another thing ( quite obvious ) are admittedly rare [ saw one user in reddit mentioning this] dust under the screen or noticeable dead pixels .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Also check to make sure there are no "bulges" around the sides of the phone where the black backing meets the front bezel. I have a small bulge near the bottom right side of the phone that looks like a little clip failed to engage. I have tried pushing it in to sit flush but it does nothing. I wasn't going to do anything about it since it's not that big of a deal but I called Play support and told the rep the issue. He said he has had a few reports of this problem and recommended an RMA. So I have a new one on the way.
