still head over heels in love with this ROM.... Minimalism is the way of the future... Just a few things for now

1) How do you customise the boot screen? I want back my favourite Android taking a you know what on a small apple.

2) Bluetooth is a bit weird - I get this 'flutter' type interference on phone calls, but not music, like a stuttering or something where the signal drops out 20 times a second for 0.01 of a second or something. Anyone else go this?

3) Security / Privacy - any tips or experiences to share? I'm using LBE privacy protector and Droidwall for now, I think they came with the ROM. What would you recommend for remote wiping? I just use Google Apps for business for now, figure that can track and wipe if required

3a) Disk encryption - with Evernote and other apps storing increasing amounts of personal and possibly sensitive personal data, how do you secure this on the SD card? Whole SD card encryption has a few drawbacks, namely inaccessible card in recovery and so on... Is there a better way to secure certain data like Evernote folders?

Got Nova launcher going too, terrific. Notice that UI still takes up huge amounts of RAM though, although Sense definitely seemed to be more of a resource hog.

And I also have SystemPanel running to collect performance statistics... but it keeps dropping out and losing chunks of data... What's the most resource light / efficient way to track phone usage and performance or what do you do?

Some of the things I have running in the background:

1) LBE Privacy Guard

2) Droidwall (haven't looked at this in any detail yet)

3) Tasker

4) SytemPanel monitoring

5) Couple of widgets, namely Minimalistic Text and PowerAmp widget

6) 3G Watchdog Pro

7) Nova Launcher

8) Dropbox (I have no idea why this needs to keep running as a service!!!! - I only need to sync MANUALLY - argh)

9) Battery Monitor Widget Pro (7.5MB RAM)

10) Switftkey keyboard (takes up a whopping 13 or more MB or RAM)

On a fresh reboot phone says ~150MB free RAM but that often drops under 100MB after running for a while

Do I have too much running or can I consolidate or reduce all that somehow? I don't actually know why a lot of apps require so much RAM or even background processes at all (like Dropbox)...

Thankfully no more FaceSpy though (Facebook), but I do run UberSync to keep profile pics and details in sync with contacts... Is this the way to do it? I like having contact pics show up from Facebook and birthdays etc, I just don't want Facebook sucking up all details of my private life, I just want to PULL information from Facebook about other people such as pics and birthday's..

Looking forward to some tips :)

Chipped in $10 to the Cyanogen team too..
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Glad you enjoy the ROM, which is the point of this, I guess. You have many questions about 3rd-party stuff, better to discuss that in the threads about those separate apps and in the Q&A thread for this ROM.

For starters, LBE Guard and Droid wall have nothing to do with Cyanogenmod and do not come with this ROM. Your concern about security is misplaced, if you use Evernote: all of its content is on the cloud, i.e., shared.

The only launcher proper to this thread will be Trebuchet. And so on.

Your BT issue may be of interest...can you get a logcat? Frankly, though, it probably has to do with all that monitoring crap you have watching your system....
[HTC Sensation] mouse@home:
Little thought about security...after the migration to the team hydra stuff we cannot use the auto-patcher tool to integrate the opendroid capability as you may read here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40067330

From my sweet Island with my sensation
[HTC Sensation] nocturnoz:
Would be really really awesome!

I'm running the last build of this ROM before he rebased it in coop with Team Hydra and without pdroid I won't update... That makes me sadpanda :(
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
It will be nice to have this in ROM.

I used miui ROM sometime ago, the permit control is really impressive.

could base on Albinoman's rom to build a personalized ROM if that is permitted.
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
People, is there a way to speedup notification area pull up/pull down menu?

I assume it can be edited in some file. Any suggestions?

Thanx
[HTC Sensation] black_bottom:
don't know what you mean :confused: you put your finger on the notification bar and pull it down. it's quick - what to improve ?
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
Well, it is quite quick as it is indeed. But i like it to be even more quick like on Sense 4.1 or + ROMs, like SGSIII...

To me it's more handy when it's really fast.

:cowboy:
[HTC Sensation] ulissejl69:
Sorry for my English.

Albinoman Thanks for your excellent rom.

The Ondemand governor works fine, no lang and drang battery, stable, fast to load applications.

rom version April-7

512 Mb. swap

Keep it up.
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
Hell yeah this thing is a work of art.

I turned off System Panel, about to try another call.

Is there some sort of log I can record to pin the bluetooth flutter down?
[HTC Sensation] black_bottom:
:confused: I just come back from my colleague and her SGS3, we tested this on her SGS3 versus my sensa with albino's ROM - there is really no difference ... what are you speaking about ?
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
How come? It should be noticeably faster, especially when you pull up.

Anyways the question is where can I change this value (if possible)?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Move your finger faster.
[HTC Sensation] Interacom:
Yes, I had same problem, but it was only one time => it is not systematic mistake.
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
I think he's talking about the animation that extends and retracts the panel pull down. I personally think it's quick enough but could understand that someone might want to tweak the draw speed. This is more of a general cm topic though.
[HTC Sensation] old_god:
The Apr 7th build has been weird. Soft reboots + hanging without apparent reason.

Flashed, rebooted, same thing. Sometimes it will work for a few hours then reboots when I pick it up. Sometimes it just freezes when I open the app drawer, after reading emails for a while.

Can't find the 31th here http://goo.im/devs/Albinoman887/pyramid
[HTC Sensation] eisil:
:crying:
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Have you read back to around when 4/7 came out? At least three people have posted links to the 3/31.

Also, did you not take a nandroid before flashing? You risk being laughed at!
[HTC Sensation] derricancy:
this may be a little off topic, but could any body teach me how to get and add a exchange account?

I want to use the calendar inside this ROM but it requires me to add an exchange account and I don't have one...

thank you for your help...
[HTC Sensation] old_god:
Thank you, backtracked a bit and found a link from Noobel for the 31th.

And I can handle laughs, don't worry.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Is there a reason you're not using gapps? Exchange is a server type by Microsoft for email, calendar and contracts. You get an account by either creating your own server or getting one from your job/school if they use exchange.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

From Terminal Emulator enter the following:

logcat -v time > /sdcard/logcat.txt

You can then perform your tests. When you're done testing simply close terminal by opening the app and hitting the X in the top right corner. You will have a file on the root of your SD card named logcat.txt that you can submit. You might want to review it first to make sure no sensitive info is in the log.
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
That's exactly what I'm trying to ask about.

Thanks. :)
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
I just noticed that the camera is able to auto-focus in the Google Translate app but not with the regular Camera/Gallery app. I think the focusing issue in the camera app is known with all android versions after ICS but how come it works in Google Translate?
[HTC Sensation] MattFerg:
Apologies the previous poster wasn't very helpful.

You add an exchange account by opening the Email app, typing in your email address and password when it asks for one, then clicking manual setup at the bottom. It should then give you the choice between POP3, IMAP and Exchange.
[HTC Sensation] extrem0:
Autofocus also works in LG camera app.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
You do realize he said he does not have an account on an Exchange server and wants to know how to get one so he can use Calendar?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I know what he's talking about, what I'm saying is it goes faster the quicker you move your finger. Mine matches the speed I go up and down the screen.
[HTC Sensation] dadanepal:
You don't need Exchange account to use an account as Exchange with calendar sync etc. If you didn't know free Outlook.com, hotmail, i am sure there are others can be set as exchange. For hotmail use m.hotmail.com as your server url.
[HTC Sensation] HoustonGeek:
You can get a free outlook.com email address and it uses ActiveSync (Exchange). Otherwise, you need a corporate email (most use Exchange).

I found the google calendar to be very capable, and use a 3rd party widget to show a calendar on one of my screens.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Didn't know about Microsoft giving Exchange access for free but my suggestions are still good starting points. The last post I made was pointing out that there seemed to have been a misunderstanding of what was being asked.
[HTC Sensation] Syns:
So u just installed the April 7th ROM and is working great but I notice 1 thing on two separate apps. In Netflix there is no stop or play menu that pops up when u tap the screen and in the snapchat app you can not see the buttons either on the screen. Is there a way to fix them?
[HTC Sensation] ncohafmuta:
I mentioned my soft-reboot problems 2 days ago for ondemand and badass governors.

I switched to the performance one and so far have not had 1 reboot.

Maybe there's a bug in some cases of bringing cores up/down for battery saving in the other governors?

-Tony
[HTC Sensation] albinoman887:
new build finally incoming, lag fixed. sorry for the delay, i'll post back when its uploaded
[HTC Sensation] Syns:
hey tony i have a question for you. how did you change governors if i do not see an option in the settings for them?
[HTC Sensation] FA4DK:
Its in settings> Performance> Processor.
[HTC Sensation] ncohafmuta:
change the GOV parameter in the file /etc/init.d/99kernel

then reboot

-Tony
[HTC Sensation] atomfix:
Great! Many thanks for your hard work!
[HTC Sensation] ncohafmuta:
i never used that because the "Set on boot" option always confused me.

if it just said "Set on boot" i'd think, ok, the setting will be saved across reboots.

But then it says "Restore the processor settings on boot", which makes me think (maybe just wording wise) that it's going to revert to the

default governor on reboot, not the one set here. So it sounded like a contradiction.

-Tony
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
I'd assume the poster is aware that the speed can be controlled manually with the speed of your finger movements and is instead interested in the speed of the automated movement, where the finger begins the animation but doesn't follow it the whole way.
[HTC Sensation] Syns:
i do not have Performance> Processor under settings, what kernel, ROM are you using? i just downloaded the april 7th ROM.
[HTC Sensation] FA4DK:
If you don't tick that option then I think it changes the governor from then on. And if you select on reboot then it sets it on a reboot.
[HTC Sensation] ncohafmuta:
To access the developer options go to Settings -> About Phone -> then Tap 'Build Number' 7 times.

This will create the Developer Options & Performance menu.

-Tony

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

uhh, aren't both things you said essentially the same thing?

unless for the former you mean "from then on UNTIL REBOOT"

-Tony
[HTC Sensation] jdb78:
Absolutely no need to apologize! You spend your leisure time bringing us an awesome ROM. No one is in the position to demand anything. And further you are "just" a human and we humans make mistakes from time to time. No big deal.

Sorry for offtopic.
[HTC Sensation] lapator:
Here is the logcat : http://pastebin.com/DB0iM6BF
[HTC Sensation] FA4DK:
Haha they are. Sorry about that wasn't reading what I was typing. :thumbup:
[HTC Sensation] ncohafmuta:
ok, so i tested it. When not checking it, it reverts back the setting on reboot. Checking it saves across reboots.

So maybe it should say "Makes changes permanent" or "Saves across reboots" instead of "Restore..."

-Tony
[HTC Sensation] AleyKsi:
Did someone try usb-host with success ?

I have a powered usb hub and usb mouse and keyboard, but none were recognized by this rom yet. They were a long time ago on another rom.

Am i forgeting something ?
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
I've had no such problem with Tamcore's CM9 kernel. I know it shouldn't be used but some weird reason it's worked fine on CM10/10.1. So I'm guessing it's a kernel problem.
[HTC Sensation] redback_rsa:
What's your min CPU clock? It should be 384Mhz. It's mentioned in the OP.
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
Try installing Sultan kernel.
[HTC Sensation] ncohafmuta:
It is 384, yep

Did you get a kmsg ever? Type

echo /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt

in Terminal Emulator after reboot. Then zip the file you get and attach it to a submission here.

Another point is that sometimes this is cause by the battery getting older and failing to make proper contact. Some have had success from just putting a bit of card stock inside their phone to brace things up.

You may just want to hang on until a new build is ready...
[HTC Sensation] roccatkone:
Since 07/04 my phone is very very slow if lots of RAM is in use. (e.g. WhatsApp and browser opened)

This really stops the phone working for several seconds, its horrible.
[HTC Sensation] MIGhunter:
Sometimes I wonder if people are trolling. They can't be this stupid or lazy.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
I love the pic though! LOL! :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] ncohafmuta:
Yeah, i've been looking at the last kmsg after the reboots and haven't seen any errors or panics in those.

I started with logCat and logRec the last 2 days but since i started using the performance gov and haven't seen a reboot yet with it, so don't have anything to go on. I may have to wait until the new build and go back to ondemand, then turn on logRec to pull some info.

I have 2 batteries. The one i've had in for a while (9 months or so), since pre-this rom, is a high cap anker that has been working fine. Would seem a coincidence that it would start having problems right when i started on this rom, though not outside the realm of possibility.

I'm trying the sultan r17.5 kernel right now with ondemand. Gonna see how she flies.

Thanks.

-Tony
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
If you're going to use Sultan, you need to use the one made for JB AOSP. 17.5 is for Sense ROMs only. Current stable for JB is 23. He has a 24 beta that I discovered has a problem with intellidemand so if you try that one, use another governor.
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
Or just add a corporate account from the accounts menu?

I use both exchange and google apps just fine. For PC the paid google apps also provides exchange and sync support with Outlook.

But yeah google calendar is the best
[HTC Sensation] ncohafmuta:
bah, i've been on sense so long, i forgot. thanks. just redid it.

-Tony
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Np. Glad I could help! ;)
[HTC Sensation] smockpuv:
Sorry, bear with me. I did a little digging and could not find the answer. I'm coming from ARHD 6.7.0 (I know its been forever). To install this all it says to do is wipe and flash gapps. Do I not flash the cm-10.1-20130407? Can somebody straighten this out for me real quick?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Yes. Flash that. That file is the rom. Then flash gapps.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
First make a nandroid backup (Nandroids are always dead useful)

Then go on your recovery and format all partitions except SD card.

Flash the cm10.1.... file

Then flash gapps

Reboot and you're good to go :)

Kind Regards

Dave
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
and remember smartflash if no s-off
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
Or HTC dumlock if using TWRP.
[HTC Sensation] UncommonGuy:
Hey wait, smockpuv. That is correct procedure. Wipe, flash the rom zip, then flash gapps. But don't use the April 7 file, A lot of people are having problems with it. Search the thread for the March 31 version which is must more generally successful. Or wait a few days for the next release. You may end up with a bad impression of this great ROM if you use the April 7 file.
[HTC Sensation] nhaixin69:
Guys, i find that this ROM drains the battery more. What tweaks i can do to improve it?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
You can do a search. There are 9 million well documented tips for battery life on xda.
[HTC Sensation] AndroidSupporter318:
You have to flash the ROM also. I would factory reset, flash ROM then gapps.

[HTC Sensation] egg_n_ham:
After I flashed Apr 7 build, i noticed the charging light went abit crazy.

Normally the light will be on all the way when power is attached during charging.

But when a notification comes in (eg, message, whatsapp, email), the charging light will go off, and only blinking notification light is on.

I thought the charging stopped. Then when i unlock the phone, the charging light came back on.

I reckon the charging was still ongoing, just that the charging light stopped showing.
[HTC Sensation] j1po:
yes, same here

and sometimes the notification led color became red
[HTC Sensation] MIGhunter:
After installing 4/7 and then reverting back to 3/31 I've lost the ability to connect to mass storage. When I plug into my laptop, nothing. Rebooting into recovery and starting mass storage, it isn't showing up on the laptop. It is connected because it shows that it is charging. I just can't switch. My SDcard is working because I can access all of my files through es explorer.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
If it's from recovery that you have the problem, then maybe something is wrong with your recovery. The ROM does not have this problem.

One odd thing: I had to abrupt the ADB RSA token again; nothing to do with this issue, though.
[HTC Sensation] MIGhunter:
Nevermind, it seems as if my laptop did some windows update that shut down my ability to connect my phone. Once I rebooted my pc so it could finish all of the installations, it was fine.

[HTC Sensation] extrem0:
Lol. I'm almost like you. But I decided to try to build by myself, as albinoman said he already fixed lags and he was about to upload. (he probably started to upload but something happened).

If I manage to build and get it working I can share a link (I bet I'll be very late as I'm starting to repo sync now 1st time).

[HTC Sensation] roccatkone:
Did you even use your phone since 07/04? If just 2 or 3 apps run in multitasking, the phone completely freezes. This wasn't the case before, I didn't changed my user behaviour. But yeah, judge about me without even testing it.

For example, I may open settings and afterwards open whatsapp or any serious application. The phone starts to slow down extremely. You may wait for the touch input to get executed for several seconds. Even the notification bar isn't usable then.
[HTC Sensation] M-M-C:
if you had read a few pages back you would have noticed something went wrong with the latest build. some changes were not synced properly resulting in a semi-broken rom. it has already been fixed and we are waiting for the new rom.

So yeah, he judged you because because you were too lazy to read this thread. we alread know the reason why its not working, posting it over and over again doesnt help

[HTC Sensation] roccatkone:
This is a forum, so what about being kind?

I always read the last 3 pages to make sure, my problem is not common. I had to go 7 pages back, to see the problem mentioned once. This is 1/100 of the whole thread. Make sure to be kind, if you want any people to help you once.

Furthermore, I'm using "performance" settings and not "ondemand". The problem is the same.
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
Absolutely!

Guys, any chance to get an answer 'bout that damn notification pull down/up animation speed?

Thanx

:cowboy:
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
The default calendar sort of depends on Google services (not sure if you can use it without adding your Google account), but you can get a calendar that doesn't depend on Google services. Since you're not using Play Store (also Google) I'd recommend you to download aptoide and search for a calendar alternative there. I'm sure there are lots if calendars app that doesn't require any sort if account.

[HTC Sensation] moonroy:
Syncing contacts from exchange

Search is unavailable on forum, and this thread is huge.

I have noticed that I can't sync my contacts using Office 365. They sync just fine from local Outlook to the web, and also syncs fine to my Nexus 7 and vice versa. Same settings on Sensation but they do not sync to and from the phone.

Has anyone else noticed this?
[HTC Sensation] black_bottom:
yesterday you mentioned a different behavior versus the SGS3 - but there is none:

when you put your finger on the notification bar after ~2/10 sec the "animation" opens => identical "performance" of the SGS3

when you pull down the "nuew menue": it follows excatly the speed of your finger => identical "performance" of the SGS3

you press <- this button to return => identical "performance" of the SGS 3

so in the outcome: nothing to improve. again: what are you speaking about? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
What's everyone whining about? 10.1.0 here and I'm having kittens... Seriously it's like having a new phone.
