I haven't really worked much on it lately. But now the computer/phone knows when the USB cable is connected. No ADB/UMS yet tho.

Here's a picture (yes, another phone picture - no UMS yet.) displaying WiFi + the amazing up time of almost 24h :)

Everything works fine. Installed the next launcher as i hate stock and this works great. I'm guessing u can't use the sultan kernel as i want to oc cpu
[HTC Sensation] madkai:
There is no latest beta of this ROM. This is the first release.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Thanks a bunch Nikez!! :D
[HTC Sensation] stewartk:
Just tested the latest Bruce oc-gpc kernel and its working. Oc CPU and GPU. WiFi working and good signal

This running pretty darn good for a pre alpha lol thanks guys

Let's hope you and bruce work together to make an awesometastic rom!

Sultan works better for battery life
[HTC Sensation] encho:
Have you tested it with this ROM?
[HTC Sensation] The_Hamster:
Impressive that you know that, after running the rom for less than 12 hours!

I always thought that you needed to go through atleast 2 charge-cycles, before you know how the battery-life is.. And apparently, you have tried

both

the stock kernel and the Sultan-kernel for long enough to talk about what kernel tha is the best battery-wise?
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
This is a pre alpha! What did you expect? The kernel will be improved once the ROM is fully working. And I wouldn't install sultan kernel because this is 4.2.1 and not 4.1.2 which sultan is made for. Having seen Nikez improve the battery life on the Desire I have no doubt he will make the ROM/kernel more battery friendly once the bugs are ironed out.
[HTC Sensation] stewartk:
I tested Bruce one and its seamed to drain fast the sultan one doesnt seam to to drain as fast. Works OK so far
[HTC Sensation] Robo11111:
and from that you know it will give you better battery life?
[HTC Sensation] LaidbackNikez:
Meh, drop the battery life discussion already. I couldn't care less in this stage.
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
Happy flashing everyone....... Thanx Nikez for great effort
[HTC Sensation] haifish9999:
Worked fine on battery life( over 2 cycle charged) and performance with lates Tamcore kernel.Full signal bar( not like the other 4.2.1 with 3 signal bar). Only one question: baseband is older(11.69.3504.00P_11.22.3504.07_M). With lates FW we got baseband: 11.76.xxxx.
[HTC Sensation] Renegade_Darling:
Good work LaidbackNikez! I'll give it a go.
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
You guys are in the hands of one of the best AOSP devs, he'll trim down and nuke all the bugs, but you guys have to be patience and behave. Nikez has short term patience sometimes lol.

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Could be because SELinux enabled by default in 4.4. Nikez, maybe it'll boot if you add some lines to the ramdisk to disable SELinux, or disable SELinux in the kernel, or add the correct SEPolicy exceptions. Who knows.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
the flash itself ended in an error though,

status 7: set_metadata_recursive : some changes failed

EDIT: it is selinux, just googled around. some details here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2516253

looks like it might need a recovery update. does anyone have TWRP 2.6.3.0 and fancy seeing if it flashes? i remember that fixed the issue on my nexus 7 so could work with us too. if nobody does i'll switch to twrp and try it again later.
[HTC Sensation] LaidbackNikez:
It flashes now. It gets to boot animation. It actually tries to boot but fails due to audio ;-D (Not a big surprise as I had to disable it). Should have an initial boot tonight.

[HTC Sensation] lolmachine4:
If it wouldn't be you getting new releases up and running (and open source'd), we would never get new releases on this device. As far as I remember, and I dont mean to sound rude on any level to any dev here,, 90% or our ROMs are kangs from your initial builds. If you would update your initial build regulary, I bet we'd have a bugfree release someday. Sucks you're so busy, you seem to have great knowledge in the sht your doing.

Keep it up. :good:

What happend to 3.4 kernel (for AOSP roms on sensation), that you have be working on some time?
[HTC Sensation] LaidbackNikez:
If you must know, I've suspended the development on it for an unknown amount of time. I simply do not have the time. The current state of it is;

It boots.

It's stable. More than 300 h of uptime

It uses ION. I will convert it to use PMEM when I start developing on it again.

WiFi, Bluetooth works.

ADB works

SD-Card works

Umm... Convert it to use PMEM? Why would you do that? You mean a hybrid kernel, in which only the camera uses PMEM or thoroughly?

[HTC Sensation] fbf2201:
How would you name it, if not ETA.

You can try when it's done.
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Let's review what you have said:

E.T.A. = Estimated "TIME"of Accomplishment

As you must have paid attention, the "T" in ETA stands for TIME, and in English grammar, basically, "When" is a question word used to ask about time; moreover, you asked about the time on which we will try the ROM, and a ROM is actually tried by users when it's released (accomplished);

accordingly, we conclude that WHEN YOU ASK FOR THE TIME OF THE RELEASE OF A ROM, YOU'VE SIMPLY MADE AN "ETA" QUESTION.

If you dont mind sharing your code, one of the other devics can pick up from there. I am not sure the jellybean-3.4 branch of kernel has got all the stuff already in there on Github.

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE DOWNLOADING.

Hey,

Here's a

very early preview

(Not even pre-alpha) build. Unfortunately the screen freezes after a while and it will hot reboot.. So, this build is NOT usable. This build is

strictly

for someone curious on how Kitkat looks. You can find the build on my website, http://nikez.nu. Evervolv Macto = HTC Sensation builds.

This is what I can confirm works:

3G

Accelerometer

ADB/SHELL

Audio

Bluetooth

Camera

GPS

GSM (Calling/Texting)

Rotation

Screenshots

SD-Card

"UMS"

Vibration

WiFi

Please refrain from even consider mentioning that it crashes or has stability issues. I am well aware. Please remember where you got your first bite of Kitkat on HTC Sensation. - Yes, that is a subtle hint.

Hey.

First of, thanks for your donation. I was hoping to avoid having to type this, but I guess I'll have to.

So, here's what happened

: While vacuuming our office/guestroom, I somehow managed to cause some sort of discharge against my PC (which was running). The screen was off so I didn't notice it powering down nor hear as we had music on while cleaning.. (I blame my gf for making me clean). And yeah, to make it short: It did not start again. Basic tests I've done suggests that it's the mobo/cpu.

Here's what will happen

: I wont stop developing. I will move my Android development and compile on my old laptop until I get the new parts (It takes forever on it, but it compiles :) ). I am in no way depending on donations to afford to buy the stuff myself (Just finished my University studies and I have a well paying full-time job). I am simply asking for donations as I would much rather spend the money on something else.

I only wanted to have that widget on my website and not "announce" it through XDA/Twitter/G+/Smoke signals, but I guess I was a bit too optimistic. I sorta wanted this to be on the down-low.
