See the thread in my signature. There are battery tips in there. Also, try charging the phone on usb instead of the htc charger. I bet you will see a stronger charge. Downside is that it takes forever.

Screen stop working few times

Hi, I've been using THIS rom for few months, works creatividad, without great problems, UP to last version. The screen stop to work few times, more times with a incoming call, so I can't pick up the phone. Fresh and clear install with full wipe. Any ideas?

Flashing CM 10.1 on top

The answer is probably 'no' but I'd still like to ask :D

Can I flash a nightly from the CM 10.1 tree on top of this ROM and expect it won't break too much?
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Correct. Google owns the search button.
[HTC Sensation] design12:
How can we check if file has the 755 permissions in the init.d folder? And how would we change them with like terminal emulator? Also when you mean root:shell you mean owner is root and group is shell right? Thanks just wanna make sure I have everything set.
[HTC Sensation] d.weiss:
I have been dirty flashing between Bruce Albino and official CM ROM in the past and didn't had any real problems except for the known one's.

First make a backup and wipe cache and dalvik before flashing.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Yes just wipe cache and dalvik cache.
[HTC Sensation] johnyfly1:
This is great rom for me but sometimes my screen is blinking and I must restart phone then is ok... btw and what about focusing during video? or focus on video camera mode...I must switch to photo mode then focus and then switch back to video camera mode and record...
[HTC Sensation] hellfire191:
Is there a way to turn on the wake up with the volume buttons? I remember there used to be this option on older builds but I can't find it anymore.
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Settings---->Display--->Volume rocker
[HTC Sensation] J-Pod:
I'd have to say Mar 31 build of this Rom has the best so far as battery life when screen is off I've seen since stock. This is with 1 year old Anker battery, 345min 1Ghz max, interactive, noop. I listened to about 5 hours of audio I downloaded. I do have to wonder what Google Services is doing though. When my battery hit about 35% it sprung up and then stayed at the numbers in the screen shot. My battery life wasn't affected by it but it still says it's a doubtful 72%. Weird. I haven't seen any good reason for the Google services bit.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
You mention Terminal Emulator... Try

ls -al /etc/init.d

The list should spell out existing permissions and ownership, etc., fire the files in init.d.

Changing things takes a series's f commands...@erragy will correct me if I get this wrong, I hope. Here's the way I remember it:

su
cd /etc/init.d
chmod 755 99kernel
chown root:system 99kernel
exit

Its easy to do in File Manager (the CM app).
[HTC Sensation] krugm0f0:
Had the weirdest phone ****up earlier today. Just got it back working.

I was scrolling through settings page when everything froze and I eventually got the CM loading circle boot animation logo thingy. It too froze. So I pulled battery and gave it a min. Still got stuck at animation.

Cleared cache and dalvik cache and Gog past the boot animation, but again it froze. This time at the "Upgrading Android" screen where it optimizes all the apps. Three finger salute to reboot and stuck at boot animation again.

Dirty flashed ROM to no luck, flashed kernel too.

Only solved by a full wipe and then almost two hours(!!) at boot animation. Flashed gapps at next boot and now it works like a charm again.

Weird.
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
Here are the contents of my init.d folder and the file permissions for everything in it.

I don't think anything is wrong here, but the script still won't stick. I don't understand why.
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Looks solid to me @dkephart ;)

I tend to use /system/etc/init.d because I usually do things from my laptop via adb and just don't trust that all symbolic links are present. We call this OCD in the states :p
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
Sensation XE?

What's Cyanogen like on the Sensation XE compared to a Sense ROM like Dark Forest? I'm thinking of trying it. DarkForest is still a bit laggy for me so I'm wondering if going non-Sense like Cyanogen may free the phone up at all.
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
This ROM runs really fantastic in comparison to any Sense ROM. I get battery life that's just as good (maybe even better?), and performance is smooth when Sense isn't hogging everything.

Definitely give it a try, I can't go back to Sense now that we have a nearly perfect AOSP Jelly Bean.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Skeptics would ask to see the contents of your 99kernel file, as well.

Me, I suggest trying Terminal Emulator. Fire it up, them type

su

This will ask you for root permissions, which you should give it. Then enter

/system/etc/init.d/99kernel

Make a screenshot of any output.

Now see if your frequencies hold. And you'll have that screenshot to show of it doesn't.

One other thing... what is it you are using to check your min and frequencies?
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
OK so I'll Nandroid backup my ROM, and see if all the apps and app data on the SD card come back up in a fresh ROM (Cyanogen). The lagging is killing me, I really have to give this a try. I think Sense takes up quite a lot of resources, and I'm not entirely sure what it does. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
that makes sense.

for all the helpful posts I make, grant me this one meaningless attempt at punnery.
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
very punny, well done.

I have some turbo thing installed atm too, that uses /cache or something that is otherwise unused, can't remember what it was. Should I re-install this or does CM work fine out of the box and use all available phone memory partitions?
[HTC Sensation] albinoman887:
New build tonight or tomorrow lots of updates
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
Looks like there's an error:
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
If you're referring to the [MOD][2013-03-24][V2.80]TURBO BOOST mod, then I would give this rom/kernel a shot without it first. I have tried that mod before as well and did not get enough zing from it to ever install it again, but that is my usage and my judgement. ymmv
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
I've tried a bunch of mods with this ROM including turbo boost and crossbreeder as well as multiple versions of sultan kernel. I keep coming back to stock. I'd definitely recommend running without these mods for a while. You might find it doesn't really get much better if at all.
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
When will be tonight? When!!!!
[HTC Sensation] Masteroshi:
Please, don't ask for Estimated Sunset Time. ;)

[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
Maybe I should wait then... Installed Cyanogen but getting keyboard error after installing Google Apps... probably wrong version...

If a new stable build is due out shortly, perhaps I should wait for that and then get the correct Google Apps version.

What version do you recommend for the current stable build?
[HTC Sensation] looneylv:
I would most defenetly wait theese few hours and then test/flash new build with full wipe :) Well that is what i gonna do with my camera bug...

'stable' is overrated word if you think about it... ;) The only 'stable' build should be the official manufacturer build because in community world developers(one or two or few persons) cannot get stable enough release because they dont have the tools, time and man power like company has to get the build 'stable' ;) In community every newest build is a bit better that previous and is considered more 'stable' ....
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
The correct gapps for 4.2.x ROMs is gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
Well I can always install now and then just update after cache wipe I suppose. Got correct GAPPS version now, thanks. Will try in a minute.

I also never bother with firmware updates as that sounds risky. There's not really a need to update firmware is there?
[HTC Sensation] black_bottom:

how I change keyboard color? and how I change size of keyboard buttons?

anybody help me?
[HTC Sensation] consolation:
Most ROMs are built with specific firmware in mind. Plus, it will be hard for anyone to offer you advice if you're on a different firmware from everyone else in the thread..
[HTC Sensation] FA4DK:
I dont think that's possible on JB. And the size can not be changed either.
[HTC Sensation] panikkos1316:
keyboard

hello guys this is amazing rom.!this rom support greek language on keyboard???
[HTC Sensation] 5ageman:
To change kbd color download CM10 themes and apply the theme in the theme changer (inside settings>themes). Most of the themes have a themed keyboard. The size is fixed and cannot be changed. Only and perhaps the best solution is to download a third party kbd that has both theme and layout personalization options - there are few on the play store for free.
[HTC Sensation] LeMuecke:
Yep, keyboard has greek language
[HTC Sensation] krugm0f0:
I am using Thumb keyboard from Play Store, it will let you change everything.
[HTC Sensation] panikkos1316:

i installed greek language but it doesnt appeared on keyboard.i will chech further maybe i dis something wrong
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
You only need to be on a "release" version of ICS firmware to use ICS and JB ROMs. The version number shouldn't matter and you do not need to be on the same version as everyone else to get help. If JB firmware is released for this device then you will need to upgrade to that one for continued support.
[HTC Sensation] darkobas:
I've been having reboot problems with all builds since February. I kinda knew it was some sort of kernel problem. I would get msm watchdog something, q6 nmi was sent, reboot. Superxe rom used 3.0.68 kernel and i had no such problems with it. So latest build they updated kernel and problems appeared there too. So i got a bit pissed, tried cm10 build from bruce and got reboots too, but bruce updated now to 3.0.70 so i thought thats it. I tried jbmiui which uses kernel 3.0.68 and it worked.... So i was sure its because of it. But then a guy in superxe rom wrote he had similar issue and it worked out after he changed cpu clock to 1.18ghz. So i changed my clock to 1.18 and now all this roms (including this one) work great for me on 1.18ghz. Ive never had problems before running 1.5 or 1.6ghz and even now, i can flash the rom with 3.0.68 kernel and it would run without problems on 1.5ghz

Anyone have any idea what could cause this?

Battery life in this release is awesome, but I have two problems:

- CPU frequency doesn't stick and reverts itself back to 1566 (tried using No Frills with "prevent other apps/system from changing", it still gets back to 1566 even after setting the frequency manually in init.d)

- cLock widget weather thing is broken, I tried installing it from the link mentioned earlier in this thread (apk) but it says that the installation has failed.

While weather widget isn't a big deal for me, I'm not sure why the CPU freq doesn't stick anymore (this happened only in Mar-31 build, previous was fine) and how to fix it.

For future reference. Chronus is a system app so the procedure is different:

Uninstall with titanium or remove from system, reboot, install,
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
It's not because of the 99kernel script. I deleted it and used Kernel Tuner and when I run the init.d it created, the same error happens,

Those CPU1 directories just don't exist so they can't be altered. (I navigated there manually to confirm)

Can someone browse to "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq" (for example) and see if it has anything in it?
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Agreed. I think Albinoman is cleaning up the config script in the upcoming build, which would also mean making the needed directories. Thanks for posting your results.
[HTC Sensation] Kepee:
Heh, as we are waiting for the new update, here's a screenshot of what I was able to achieve a couple of weeks ago with this ROM.

I turned everything off (wifi, 3G, data, sync, GPS, location reporting etc.), except for 2G networks so that I could still receive phone calls and SMS's. CPU minfreq was 192MHz and max was 1566MHz, the same figures I use all the time without any issues. CPU governor was Badass with the balanced setting. GPU frequencies were left at default. Also, I had Google Maps uninstalled since that seemed to be a horrible battery hog even when GPS and everything was turned off. Rest of my apps were left untouched. I have a ton of stuff installed and many processes run in the background as a result. I tried to use the phone as little as possible. So no gaming or anything else. Just some phone calls and alarm clock for morning wake-ups. I just wanted to test how long I could make my new Anker battery last. You never know when a zombie cataclysm starts and you won't have access to power to charge your phone :D

The phone actually shut down just a minute or so after taking the screenshot.
[HTC Sensation] maydayind:
For u who are having problems with Cklock ...

Dont use it .. Use dashclock its way beter and has mor plugins for stufs.

And stop reporting errors all over the thred. if somone els reportet it u dont have to nag about it.
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
Okay I can confirm that I've found a bug with cpu1 frequencies after doing a full wipe:

cpu0 freq files (scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq) both exist and have the values I assigned in 99kernel im them, but cpu0 freq files are blank/can't be opened.

Hopefully albinoman sees this.

EDIT: Now the entire cpu1 directory looks different than the cpu0 one, either way the required files for governor and frequencies changes are missing as far as I can tell.

Battery usage with screen on

When the screen is on, my battery drains faster than I can drink coffee.

Is there anything that can be done to improve this, other than to set the screen as dark as possible? I didn't use auto-brightness.
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
It is pretty much normal, display consumes most battery. Your complete screen on time would be interesting, but when I see almost 20 hours usage with screen on very often it seems okay to me.

Swyped via Tapatalk
[HTC Sensation] sanderg:
The vertical drops are from the screen on time. If that's normal, there is a lot of room for improvement in the kernel and display drivers :cyclops:

Thanks for the comparison/reply though.
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
The Sensation's display uses a lot of battery, that's just how it is. ROM devs do as much as they can to reduce battery use (this one has really good battery life compared to other ROMs), but the display is gonna use a lot of battery.
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Without HTC providing display drivers for the sensation and jelly bean (read: ain't gonna happen), devs have been doing some serious hacking just to get the display to function without distortion and kernel panics. Performance and efficiency would come only after those larger issues are resolved.

For a comparison, how much screen-on time were you getting on stock Sense/ICS, and how much on this?
[HTC Sensation] sanderg:
With this, perhaps 30 to 45 minutes? About half of the stock/ARHD ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
CPU1 being offline means you won't see things like scaling_max_freq. Do "echo "1" > online" in the CPU1 folder to turn it on, then ls to see the files. There's no bug.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Don't sweat it albinoman! You put it out when you are good and ready. Don't know why some people don't know the etiquette...and I'm sure some are more tongue-in-cheek than demanding...but I can see how even that can get irritating.

Take care, do what you need to (especially personal stuff...don't forget to take care of what REALLY matters) and come back to this when you are ready.

We can wait for as long as necessary for you to have enough time to keep rockin' this great ROM of yours.

Just my take on the whole matter...

[HTC Sensation] Incredible_Culp:
Hey Albinoman,

Was wondering whether or not you could make an AROMA version/flashable zip of your kernel..?

I would like to be able to go back to your kernel after i try different kernels..

The reason for the AROMA is because i love setting my own values for everything.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Giving you the benefit of the doubt on this one... You saw the OP.... use the 99kernel to go back and fourth from different customizations of this kernel. On the other hand, of you try a different kernel and want to come back to Albinoman's, make a nandroid before hand and, to return, use advanced restore from recovery and just restore the boot partition.

Problem with Aroma is it requires a new flash to change any options. That is contrary to CM methods.
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
Got Cyanogen 10.1.0 with Google Apps working... OMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFG this ROM is insane...

I had to flash back in to my old Sense ROM quickly to export my Tasker profiles, and it was as laggy as hell... Ran screaming back to Cyanogen... I'm convinced.. Totally... Found a third party Facebook contact sync app to take care of the main thing I liked about Sense (contact pic and birthday sync with social media) and also Beatiful Widgets etc for weather..

One thing though, I can't work out how to add widgets? Should I use another launcher? I have five homescreens but no idea how to put widgets on them.

Also, is there a good low resource way to monitor RAM and CPU usage? I just want to keep an eye on it... I used to notice everything lagged to hell when RAM got low but seems fine here. Sense must take a huge whack of resources by the looks of it.

So any hints and tips for a Cyanogen / Sense-less ROM newb??

OMFG I'm so happy... I swear I've saved like $600 - $700 here on a new phone... This Sensation XE just got a new lease of life.. It runs so well now that if it keeps running like this I won't need to upgrade until this phone BREAKS. I'm just so happy.

Any donation suggestions? I'm happy to kick in a good $10 or so if that helps to the right groups... Some really professional polished work here..

The priorities for me are speed and stability... and this has that in spades..

Happy happy happy happy

Now just need to work out widgets :)
[HTC Sensation] Kepee:
I use Nova Launcher Prime as my launcher. There's a free version with pretty much everything you need. The paid Prime version has a couple advanced features I wanted so I bought that.

As for widgets, you just go to the app drawer, go to widgets and then long-press on the widget you want and drag it to the home screen of your choice. I'm not sure if it's there on the default launcher, but at least on Nova, you can also just long-press on the home screen and choose to add widgets from the menu that appears.

And yes, coming from Sense to the world of "senseless" ROMs is awesome :p

Oh and for monitoring system stats I use Cool Tool. It's free and it has a ton of stuff you can monitor and also allows you to customize where and how the information is shown. Basically it is an overlay of the things you choose to monitor, eg. CPU frequency, CPU usage, amount of free RAM, network usage and so on...
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
Awesome?????? Is that the under statement of the CENTURY??? This more than just 'awesome' my friend. This is a revolution. How much money can people save by injecting new life in to old devices, and the freedom! I simply can not believe I took so many YEARS to try life beyond Sense.. The lagging just finally go to me. And baking in FaceSpy (Facebook) - that finally caved it in for me.. I can now just use the UberSync app to get all the benefits of Facebook pic and contact data sync without the routine brazen privacy violations FaceSpy proudly commits every day, and complicitly supported by HTC...

I'll be looking in to advanced privacy features too (tips welcome).

As for widgets, well that's the DUH of the century, I do feel an idiot now but that's life.. hahah...

I'll check out Nova Launcher though...

What do you guys do with themes? Kiwi Green was fantastic, back to System though... not sure if themes can clog up the system...

Have a few more background apps like System Panel running now... see how we go.

And I notice a Voice Dial service running?? OMFG AGAIN! I MISSED that SOOO much from a HTC Desire ROM I had years ago, forget which one.... used it EVERY day... So do you just connect your bluetooth headset and press the MFB or to get voice dial / commands working? If I could get that working in the car... wow..

Turned off profiles though, just using Tasker...

As for security and privacy, any tips? Privacy Protector and Droidwall?
