for me this rom is buttery smooth... 11 apr. build.

Just let it be how it is man. the users must have done something wrong :confused:
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
Definitely the same black screen here.

chrome is lag but if I continuously use it, it seems to be better.

using badass.
[HTC Sensation] otarboy:
Does anyone has problem with the touchscreen after making a phone call? Occasionally after finishing a call, the whole touchscreen fails and I have to remove my battery to do a restart.
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
Just a question: I can hear background noise with headphone when having touch sounds on. Is that a general failure with sensation hardware or something ROM related.

Regarding the best version, I recalled that 0331 is not the one either. are there any repo to hold other released version in March? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ckai:
I was thinking this myself. I held off on the 4/7 build because of what everyone was saying. I was actually starting to get some occasional lag issues with the 31 build.

When a few people said the 4/11 was good to go I jumped on it. I've had a few lag moments and a couple of issues with google now but overall is better than the 31 build. Faster and smoother.

Dirty flashed too.

Thanks heaps man :D

[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Well, I changed my cache size last night which appeared to help the lag on the 4/11 rom, but this morning it's really laggy again in chrome, and the camera is really really sluggish, so much so that the gallery app crashes. So I've again reverted back to the 3/31 rom and all is well again.

It's not as if I'm looking for issues, but the camera really was that unstable.
[HTC Sensation] lovendsuicide:
For me latest build is runing just fine, not seeing any kind of lag that makes the phone almost unusable. With the 7th there was something wrong but the 11th is as fast, if not faster, than the 31st.

Lets see if it stays this way :)

[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Mine was okay at first once I'd changed the cache size, but 10 hours later it was terrible on some apps, like the camera for example.
[HTC Sensation] kyda75:
Anyone is using the app "WAZE"? I found that the navigator's day/night autodetect mode does not work most of the time.

It works ok at night, but it does not work during the day time, 99% of the time it keeps its night mode during the day.

I am trying to find out if the issue is caused by the hardware (faulty light sensors) or some software bugs.

My Galaxy S3 has no problems detecting day/night, so I dont think WAZE is at fault.

I started using this ROM since Jan/Feb 2013's releases and this has always been an issue.
[HTC Sensation] CRACING:
Hello there,

I have just flashed the 11th April version from 31 Mar version. Everything is running fine except that getril is throwing "Unknown RIL found" as well as "The RIL database is empty" errors. Any idea what could be wrong? I guess getril has done something with their database. :confused:

Thanks...

Best Regards
[HTC Sensation] Kendrick84:
Hey Guys! I had a great time using Build 04-07. No lag, no restarts, no issues, fast and buttery smooth. The discussion here on 04-11 build was pretty worrying. Not sure if I should just keep things the way it is now, should I do an update. Just to check, do we need to wipe data and cache for the update from 04-07 to 04-11? ?
[HTC Sensation] TOMWALK:
Wipe DALVIK and cache to do the update.
[HTC Sensation] black_bottom:
but - as everytime: !! FIRST MAKE A NANDROID !! :D
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
4/11 was better than 4/7 for me, but the last stable one for me is 3/31.
[HTC Sensation] elgar:
You can do it only if you are browsing using wifi. No fix will help you otherwise on any phone.
[HTC Sensation] adistf:
I have a silly question. Volumes on this rom are lower than sense ones. Is there any way to boost them a little bit?Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Kendrick84:
Updated to Build 04-11. Thanks so much for the advice. Will try this build over the weekend and update its performance. So far so good. Cheers! :good:

By the way, any way to re-arrange the homescreens? Like how it is done in Sense?
[HTC Sensation] 84Guzz:
Please don't Albino already boosted it a bit and for me music gets distorted at top volume.
[HTC Sensation] albinoman887:
yeah i noticed that too, glad i'm not the only one. mainly when i'm using aux cable on a car stereo though, i just turn it down one notch and up more on the stereo. this is honestly the best way to do it anyway from my expeirence with audio equip
[HTC Sensation] papete:
After all the discussion here I had to give the Apr-11 a test.... Unfortunately I'm experience the same lag as others, specially with certain apps (like Chrome). It was a dirty flash, so maybe a clean one would make things better....
[HTC Sensation] layserk:
Guys,please,any solution to improve the battery life

....

its aweful

...i hardly withstand 10 hours considering that i use whatsapp,instagram,gmail and phone calls.i dont even play games...All the time i switch on the screen i see like my battery drains as hell...:eek::eek::eek:
[HTC Sensation] black_bottom:
+1 ... I think getRIL is incompatble with the actual version (11.04.2013) - I did not notice this issue in the earlier versions of albinoman. I've sent a report to getril's maker :) ... for me getril changed the ril coming with the rom to the ril stempox suggests for my radio and my region. so getril worked fine for me - up to now.
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
The solution to your question is HERE, and can also help in many other cases ;)
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
I was thinking about mpdecision too.
[HTC Sensation] arkatis:
Nice trolling.... true story bro! :p:good:
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
Not exactly best in this case, since Sensation runs its audio chip at full power always and the volume control is digital only, hence you always hear same amount of noise whether you make a max volume or minimize to zero.

When you drop down volume on you Sensation and boost it by external amp you get more noise over the sound.

Btw that's why many think Sensation is way too noisy, but trust me, if you'll crank up iPhone for instance to the max, you'll get similar amount of noise.

:cowboy:
[HTC Sensation] jdb78:
I installed 4-11 over 3-31 after formating cache and dalvik. I experience very heavy lag like the phone is not responding to any key any more for at least 5 seconds. I already grabbed logcats and provided them to albinoman.

3-31 had only two major issues for me which was a sort of trashed display output from time to time and then the phone was not responding no more so I had to reboot. And the next one was that I had random reboots which I didn't have before 3-31 with albino's ROM.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy with this ROM and I am not demanding anything. I just want to help to make this ROM perfect.
[HTC Sensation] Hardcore69er:
anyone who is having lag issues, did y'all dirty flash??

I had awful lag on 4/7 but I wiped cache/dalvik and system partition and it runs fine
[HTC Sensation] Sleepy!:
Installed the new build after a full wipe.

Titanium Backup isn't working again... it was working great in the last few builds.

Phone reboots during a batch restore, or it just doesn't start restoring.

Please see if anything can be done about this. -_-

A note to all those that start trolling on every mention of TiBu on this thread: You not wanting to use it doesn't mean everyone else shouldn't use it too.

Think about this, and then proceed to your usual trolling. :p
[HTC Sensation] steveapp:
I did a complete wipe of everything and started afresh - though google re-installed all my apps automatically with my account.

I have a cheap android tablet for playing with and that would have similar issues when i used my normal google account so I wiped it and used a different account and no issues - so could it be google profiles for some that are causing the problem ?

I went back to the 3-31 build dirty flashing over the 4-11 and have no problems so far

[HTC Sensation] papete:
I thought about this too, but I just gave the latest build a chance with Sultan's r24b1 kernel, that does include the latest mpdecision by show-p, result... NO LAG

So, there is something wrong with the kernel.... and is not mpdecision....

I'll stay with this configuration for the moment to test
[HTC Sensation] MIGhunter:
did you change the cache size too?
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
I don't know if you would call this "trolling," but your explanation of your issue is lacking. Did you do what most people did first, namely, change SD cache to 128 from the 2048 it is accidentally (according to Albinoman) set to?
[HTC Sensation] elgar:
Turn off Google Now. It drains your battery really fast.
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
When i booted frist time after dirty flashed 11/04 build, Titanium only found 1 app. I cleard cache and data for Titanium, and the it found all my apps.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
I was just going to ask this! If 24b1 resets the cache size, then we are comparing apples and oranges. And we all know Apple is a bad word :)
[HTC Sensation] papete:
Actually, twice... I added an init.d script to do it and then the Aroma installer of Sultan's also gives you the option to set it... 128 is my setting

Edit: Just to clarify... I did try the ROM changing the SD cache to 128, with the laggy results...

Edit2: At the end, I reverted to 3/31 build, youtube videos were much better with that build than with the Sultan+4/11 combination
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
If this is true it should really help narrow it down. Also we would have an interim solution - 4/11 + sultan r24b1
[HTC Sensation] Corvo007:
Unfortunately it's not placebo. Some programs completely freezing and the whole UI with them.

Otherwise i like the black list and the louder volume in this new build.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Interesting. I had lag equivalent to that of the 4/7 build for a bit, changed the cache size and, as the cache was rebuilt (I think) the lag went away. Albinoman also thinks mpdecision has to do with it, but this was a much more striking change.

Anyway, just like the problem wasn't apparent when I initially flashed, so the cure took a while to show. I suppose wiping cache & dalvik would have sped this up. Rebooting, at least.

Anyhow it's fine, now.
[HTC Sensation] extrem0:
I use it and have no issues. Actually, I don't think it use light sensors. It might use GPS to detect your location and if there's day or moonlight. Try wiping waze's data and reinstall. Check your date/time. Can't understand why you're having it. Maybe you don't have good gps signal in sensation.

[HTC Sensation] old_god:
11/04 still randomly reboots for me.

Reverting to 31/03 for a while.
[HTC Sensation] earlgrey_44:
Noticing the same thing re GetRil.

Have not had time to test many features, but flashing 4/11 over 3/31 with a Dalvik and cache wipe produces for me an install that is noticeably quicker with menu and application switching navigation. No bad behavior yet other than the odd GetRil state.
[HTC Sensation] STk3000:
No lag in 0411. I did however wipe system prior to flashing. Then you will need to reflash gapps.
[HTC Sensation] Martin Sonnek:
Same here. Also no reboots. No problem at all...

Maybe a device specific problem?!
[HTC Sensation] access9:
No issues with the 4/11 build so far (installed over the 3/31 build yesterday morning)
[HTC Sensation] adistf:
I just asked. I though it's a way to boost up,like on Sense with xLoud activated :confused:

[HTC Sensation] anazei:
I wonder how a perfectly fine ROM can go down the drain in two updates in a row... :(

I flashed the latest build, had the exact same problems that were in the release before that.

Laggy UI, bad touchscreen responsiveness, apps becoming almost unusable, crashes at random times... nothing fixed for me.

No GPU o/c, Interactive governor

For you it is. I still think it's great and works just fine.

Working fine here too. Stock kernel. Changed to badass, battery saving setting, and 1188 clock. No a single problem, other than the swype keyboard(stock 4.2) not working, but that's not a big deal.
[HTC Sensation] rdelar01:
Did you guys change the SD Cache to 128?
[HTC Sensation] acplayer:
Ever since April 7 build, my data connection has been non-existent or extremely poor. I've also tried many different ril combinations.

Was there something changed in the April 7 build that affected the radio at all? I've tried reverting back to the March 31 build and the same issue lingers.

I loaded 4/11 yesterday and it lasted through this morning. Poweramp and RunKeeper were almost unusable. I loaded sultan R24b1, but I settings would still freeze up sometimes, and there was a lag going between screens. I reloaded poweramp and that seemed to help it. I haven't tried Waze or RunKeeper again, but I'll need them tomorrow so I flipped back to 3/31.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Those are sober solutions, since the screen is the most consuming thing battery wise on a smartphone. Wifi keeps searching if nog connected andere thus uses valuable battery.

App wise, try disabling Google now. There is an app on the store Calles Greenify with which you can stop apps like Facebook and Maps from consuming a lot of energy.

Kernel wise try using another governor and/or io scheduler.
[HTC Sensation] Sleepy!:
Nah bro I didn't mean to offend you or anyone here with post... but I've been trolled for mentioning TiBu here before, hence my sensitivity...

I've set SD cache to 128, and have cleared cache/data of the app multiple times.
[HTC Sensation] nicknc:
Two things to bear in mind with this:

- T-Mobile network upgrades are causing issues nationwide (could be pure coincidence)

- Failing SIMs can produce this result.

I've had data issues a few days ago as well, but my wife has not (same phone, same ROM). 3/31 and the previous ROM both produced it. I just reverted back to 3/31 today (from 4/11) and have had no issues.

In the past I had insane issues with data, and ultimately a new SIM instantly fixed the problem.

All that to say, I bet your issue is ROM independent, particularly if it persisted after reverting. Go get a new SIM.
[HTC Sensation] hz319:
It's my first post on this forum! 10 post minimum limit :/ Anyway this is awesome ROM, totally love it. I've been using it since february. April 7th build was completely unstable the launcher was laggy and apps kept crashing, even after a fresh flash. April 11th is a lot better launcher is buttery smooth *even better than the previous builds* and most of the apps don't crash like they did on the 7th build. Chrome is crashing and slows down the whole phone *I know Albino says that Chrome was always buggy but it had always worked fine for me, that is until April 7th onwards*. Apollo is also crashing and is using more battery and the camera crashes when i take a picture. Also, playing a video in BSplayer causes the old display glitches.

None of this stuff happens on the 31st build. I have tried changing the SD cache size and flashing Sultan kernel, nothing happens... Back to 31st.

Still a effing great ROM, keep up the good work Albino!
[HTC Sensation] nicknc:
Man, don't send him to Apple...

[HTC Sensation] Kepee:
I'm also having problems with the April 11 build. It was good at first, but after a few hours of active usage the same problems that were there in April 7 started again. IO activity goes crazy, CPU usage is at 100% and phone reacts extremely slowly to any input, if at all. The problem always seems to start when I do something that is IO intensive. For example when I launch a bit heavier app, install an app (even a tiny one) or go to system settings -> apps. Normally it loads up the app list in a second or two and then it is perfectly usable and CPU and IO usage go down when it calculates the app sizes (less than 30 seconds). But now it can take several minutes for the app list to become properly responsive. The same goes with app installs. Apps install quickly, but after the app is installed, IO and CPU activity max out and stay that way for up to several minutes. What is the phone trying to do? Usually the phone is perfectly usable during and after app installs, and apps launch fine right after they've been installed. Now apps that have just been installed take ages to load/fail to load until IO and CPU activity go down again.

The April 11 is better than the April 7, but the problems seem to still be there, only not as bad as they were before. Now that my phone has sat ~5 minutes at the app list, everything is back to normal again. Is there something wrong with IO drivers or IO stuff in the kernel or something like that? Could explain these problems. I'm using Badass, SIO and S2W.

I have a logcat of me installing Hotels.com and launching it after it installed here.

Change APN Settings

I Change my APN from (epc.tmobile.com) to (internet2.voicestream.com) and copyed over the rest of the other setting from the epc APN and that fixed my data and MMS now the phone works great I hope this helps with all the T-Mobile people.

Well, the 4/11 install ran fast and nice for about 18 hours, then developed lags to the point of unusability.

Back to my 3/31 nandroid.
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
I hope that I can convince some people with my "findings" from the April-11 build. I was one of those users, who experienced the lag and sluggishness in the April-7 build and at the beginning in the 11th build as well.

I then decided to make a fresh install, as I always dirty flashed the last versions (never had problems, but so many things changed...). That REALLY did the trick for me.

April-11 build is DEFINITELY NOT laggy, bugged or anything else. I changed read ahead size to 128kb, but only because I follow the argumentation of some users, which stated that it is better for random read. So it's not the new mpdecison, which actually seems to work very nice. The build is running perfectly, remember that I had the lag before. I can't believe that anybody still experiences it after fresh install, all of it must be nocebo.

I usually format /system in CWM when doing installs as well. I did for the 4/11 load. The only thing to remain was /data.
[HTC Sensation] Masterloki666:
Thanks bro that worked
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
I don't know about smint, but I am fine -- after changing cache to 128 and rebooting.

Chrome is fine, Gallery is fine, installs are okay...the new Play Store is a little heavier on (google) analytics than the old one, I think, but fine, too.

FWIW.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Wiping system and reflashing ROM did the trick for me.

YMMV I guess
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
Camera works without problems at all. Had one fc at the first start, after that I took some pictures and videos, without problems. Am not a heavy or experienced camera user at all, but I can't see any problems.

About chrome... it's not a really new story about this browser. I don't use it, as I can't remember a time where there was not somebody complaining about it. For me it sounds like, yeah... chrome problems. But I won't blame the ROM for it, as it is "just" an app.

[HTC Sensation] Hellmanor:
Camera is working fine, but, sadly, quality is quite worse than used in stock roms...
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
For me, the camera was almost unusable! I'd hardly call myself a photography expert, but when it struggles to update the screen, sometimes didn't even show full screen, and more often than not cause the gallery app to lock up, safe to say something is broken. Works perfectly fine on 3/31 like I've said.

As for chrome, that's been fixed for a while now, working perfectly well for the last few builds until these last two. But it is just another app where I experienced the lag so thought I'd mention it.

There is definitely lag in the last two releases, though why I don't know.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Can someone tell me what it means when my wifi and/or mobile indicator in status bar remains grey? I notice that it's sometimes grey and other times blue. The times I get signal is when it's blue.

I did a full wipe and install since, although my phone wasn't REALLY laggy, some people indicated they had good luck with that so I did and now it remains grey in my status bar.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] ephumuris:
I'm pretty sure blue means it is connected to Googles services.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
I sorta figured that but was wondering why mine is constantly grey now? I can't seem to connect! Never had a problem until I decided to do full wipe! Yikes!
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
We won't get a conclusion on this I guess. You actually did a fresh install together with the change of read ahead size? Also, your chrome and camera problem doesn't sound like lag but like some bug to me, like something is really messed up. In the end... every device can be different, hardware differs a little and so on. This ROM is as far away from officially supported as it could be, albino puts many brand new stuff in, maybe an app like chrome is just not as up to date as our ROM is ;).

Besides that - I downloaded and installed chrome, surfed the web for about 20 minutes, many tabs opened - no problems at all.

I had the lag, clean install, everything set up freshly (took me about two hours but it was worth it), all lag gone.
