Hey albinoman. I am one of the devs with OpenPdroid and the creator of its porting method, the autopatcher. We provide permissions management and data-mining blockage for system and user apps on a per-app basis.

Basically, the quoted users are just saying what I told them, which is that (and some of this is second hand) that when you rebased to your own code base instead of the CM10 manifest. the smali patches we use to port Pdroid to CM10.1 broke. Smali patches are pretty tempermental. Our patches work for all builds from the CyanogenMod servers and many regular builds and kangs. Concurrent with your creation of Team Hydra, I guess a change you made to one of the classes breaks the patches.

You must be doing good work, I have had many (for us) questions about this build. Solutions for your user base could consist of integrating our build patches (which apply cleanly to all AOSP-based roms) or a revert of the change that broke our smali patches.

A (very) quick look suggests this, since it looks to be the only change from upstream, and it concerns the broken smali patch file (ContextImpl).

If you are so inclined as to include OpenPDroid into your rom (as some devs like temasek or tonyp do), I would suggest testing a build for a GPS bug, as some devices have had GPS slowdown, and also Cell Tower Location still doesn't work. Those will both be addressed in our next update, but that is a couple weeks away. My personal feeling is that OpenPDroid is better installed by individual at this point, but some devs like to include it as it is (generally) undetectable by those who do not use it and valued by those that do.

Anyway, I would guess that the most likely outcome is that you are content to not support OpenPDroid. But users are coming by often and have provided your above quote as reason enough for support to come from us. I thought I would give you any information I had and let you take it from there.

Thanks!

My SanDisk Ultra 32GB UHS-1 works fine in the Sensation...
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
quite informative.

I tried miui with permit control, which makes me feel a lot more secure with my phoen. due to recent issue with this ROM, I am flash ROM quite often. Would like to try a rom with pdroid.

Do you know any sensation rom already with Pdroid I could download and install? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] roccatkone:
As far as I remember, the SDCard is formated/used with a special algorithm to work in UHS-1-mode. If it works in your Sensation, it was maybe formatted to NTFS/FAT32 and if thats the case, the UHS-1 speed improvement is gone.

After 128 Cache Change & UHS-1 Information

After changing the cache to 128 there is still lag. You have to use an app like Chrome to notice the lag. The cache is just not the main cause of the lag in my opinion. It has to be something else that is causing this. Didn't do a clean install as setting everything back up would take a few hours and I have to work tonight.

I believe UHS-1 compatibility is not hardware limited as the cards work on older devices. Device manufacturers do have compatibility lists if anyone thinks there may be any issues.
[HTC Sensation] Yogimax:
Hi Albinoman - many thanks for your work!

Just installed the 7/4 ROM. Unfortunately after about 1/2 hour things started to get very laggy and eventually became unusable!

I'm now reluctantly restoring my 31/3 nandroid

Keep the faith...
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
Unfortunately, apr7 and apr11 builds are not refined yet for a daily use (at least to me).

I experience rare reboots when using PowerAmp, never happened before. I regularly use a dock and the phone app is FC when I try to make a call in a dock mode and I'm forced to reboot. That happens with dirty and clean install.

I still do experience a very slight lag comparing to 31 mar.

Gotta rollback to mar31 or may try Dragünkorr CM 10.1 build until Albinoman adjusts the whole thing well.

:cowboy:
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
No kidding? Lag on the 4/7 build? What are the odds? Maybe try the 4/11 build that was made specifically to eliminate that well known lag problem? Just a suggestion...
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
Newbs...

Okay 04/07 is not the latest. The latest is 04/11. You should've taken the time to read the last 10 pages before posting. The information you need is there.
[HTC Sensation] roccatkone:
I think it's like the use of a slow card reader with a fast MicroSD. For example: The SD is capable of 10MiB/s, but the reader isn't. Therefore you won't get the speeds. Maybe the same goes for our Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
You're half right here. The reader is only limited to the bandwidth provided by how it is connected to the device. I.E. USB vs serial and so forth.
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
Unfortunately, while your description of SD cache size (readahead) as it relates to SD cards and performance sounds good, it's not very accurate. In fact, the ideal value has nothing to do with the performance of your SD card (I have a 32GB class 10 and 128KB cache yields much better real-word performance) and has everything to do with the types and placement of data within the file system. A larger readahead value will yield better performance with large sequential data reads but will negatively impact latency and overall performance when dealing with smaller files and random read access. The latter is much more representative of the types of data/files likely to be on your Android phone's file system. So, it's workload-specific and not SDcard-specific. On our phones with our file systems made up predominantly of small files, that extra readahead will most likely translate into wasted IO (as data is read from the drive that it doesn't need) and wasted memory (the stuff it read that wasn't actually needed is kept in memory). The wasted memory may be small by as we all know we don't have the luxury of gobs of RAM on the Sensation.

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

Update: SD read ahead is definitely not the sole contributor to the mentioned lag in 4/11. It does help and should be reverted but doesn't eliminate the lag. At work now but will try to help troubleshoot more later tonight.
[HTC Sensation] papete:
Couldn't have described it better myself... I don't know why there is so much misinformation around about this...

For everyone, please repeat after me:

- Larger SD cache= better sequential (like a video or a song), worst random (like all the rest)

- Smaller SD cache= better random, worst sequential
[HTC Sensation] Yogimax:
Due to personal stupidity I posted that I had flashed the 7/4 ROM. This should have said 11/4 ROM!

I'd flashed the 7/4 when it came out but had to revert due to lag and my screen being totally unresponsive. Unfortunately I've had to do the same with the 11/4 build due to its lag!
[HTC Sensation] mikebeatrice:
I've been using badass pretty much since it was added. Also tried ondemand.

Tried bumping up to 540. Thought it solved the issue, but then got the black screen of doom again about an hour later.

I'm not trying going up to 1000hz area because I'd think it'd be way too hard on the battery... I'll just go back to 3/31 until it's all sorted out... no biggie.. it's a dev rom... crap happens.

On a side note.. going back to 128k on the cache did seem to improve the overall situation while the screen actually would turn on. It stopped apps from randomly hanging (was at 2048k. 32gb class 10)
[HTC Sensation] sina87:
Someone help me please. I downloaded the 7/11 build yesterday (didn't know update will come out today) and when I tried to flash it, it didn't seem to happen properly. I'm using 4EXT recovery. And after choosing the zip to flash, it says 'updating package', then nothing happens for about 3-4 minutes, then suddenly it says 'flash successfully'. No progress inbetween. And after this when I tried to boot the phone, it went past the boot animation but it said 'setup wizard has stopped working' and I couldn'tdo anything with it except press ok. And the message kept coming up. So I had to wipe again and flash back to my previous ROM. :(

What could this be? And how can I fix it?
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Could be bad download. Did you check the checksum of the file? Saves lots of headaches. If you don't know what that is, Google "MD5".
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
You actually wrote it in a more accurate way then I did, for some reason I mentioned the so called variables you described and recommended each to use the value it works best for the use of the phone. Thanks for clearing it up.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

Well at least someone tried. And what you wrote is not a general rule, speaking if misinformation. :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] MIGhunter:
Downloaded the file and put it in my init.d folder. It shows up as a .txt file. Is that right out do I need to change it. Also how do you check to make sure the cache is changed?
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
Take your time, I'm a pig in mud with this ROM.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Hey Albino887, one suggestion;could you make the lowest brightness dimmer like Bruces CM10? I'm asking because the lowest at the moment still drains quite a fair bit of battery?

Other than that this ROM is pure awesome!

Kind Regards

Dave
[HTC Sensation] MIGhunter:
Had to revert to the 31st build. I couldn't do anything. Phone kept rebooting and locking up. Not sure how to figure out how to capture the log? I tried the cache thing but couldn't figure out how to check it. Phone was locking up too bad to tell anyway.

[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Just adjust it to whatever you prefer from within Settings-->Display->Brightness-->Adjust
[HTC Sensation] Kameeeleon:
Seconded, with the amount of customisation available in CM auto brightness tweaks I don't see any reason not to have the absolute minimum brightness available without the backlight turning off.

That and the minimum is too bright in a completely dark room without a screen filter which feels like a waste.
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
You need to remove the .txt extension. That's probably why your phone went into a boot loop.
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
On a positive note, the graphical corruption with "Epic Citadel" and "Dead Trigger" that had plagued the ROM since the beginning and previously required either disabling HW overlays or running "Screen Filter" to work-around is resolved with 4/11 (probably resolved in 4/7 too but I skipped that build so can't be sure). That's a really good thing and likely indicates a less buggy display subsystem. Awesome work there!
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Make a 512mb hard swap partition. I'm currently using 200-300mb of swap out of my 512mb. The random reboots are because you have ran out of ram.

And I agree with kameeleon, I think it would be a huge plus to have the ability to turn off the backlight

Kind Regards

Dave
[HTC Sensation] MIGhunter:
Reinstalled to test it. Still really bad lag. Don't think it's the cache as my speeds are clocking really fast. Google search is unusable.

[HTC Sensation] Krasus:
So, how is the 4/11 build compared to 4/7 and 3/31? I had massive lags with 4/7, so went back to 3/31. I've read past few pages of this thread but other than SD card-cache discussion I didn't saw any overall opinions about this release.

inb4 "try it yourself" - unfortunately I'm quite busy with work and don't have enough space on my SD card to make a nandroid :(
[HTC Sensation] MattyEL:
I had major lag with the 4/7 and just installed the 4/11 but not with a full wipe. Not as laggy as 4/7 but still getting lag. I'll prob try a full wipe in a bit.
[HTC Sensation] gururoop:
since everybody seems to be talking about SD cards and cache size here, i might seem bit off topic here... but just wanted to report that i clean installed 11/4 and the frozen screen issue with s2w has come back... have disabled s2w for now, will report if it relates to s2w or something else...
[HTC Sensation] extrem0:
I'm enjoying last build compared to 04/07, but stock browser is still slow as the previous version. On 03/31 build it's much smooth.
[HTC Sensation] Billyvnilly:
So just my 2 cents on 4/11 build.

I had to force close play store and sound hound. Opera beta runs smoother than it did on 4/7, so does tapatalk and Facebook. Definitely no lag on main screen using Nova. 3/31 build is still better though for app responsiveness. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] albinoman887:
yeah that was a mistake

Cool will add it

Other then that you guys are crazy lol, the 2048kb readahead was an overlook. but if that still doesnt fix ti. you guys are just LOOKING for lag. Its in the back of your mind now so you think you see it everywhere

I tested that build for 2 days before i released it.
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Not quite - I didn't "expect" a thing. Installed it last night, for me it was as unusable as the 4/07, to the point my gf asked me "what's wrong with your phone?". Definitely not my idea, it's as laggy as the previous build for me :(
[HTC Sensation] go2net:
For 4/11 build, it is very lag with BADASS, a liitle lag with ONDEMAND, 3/31 version have no such issue, dirty install and fresh install have same problem, I have came back to 3/31 version.

ok after a day I want give my feedback with bugs/issues, and I will provide a logcat asap

-I have a system ui reboot when unlock the screen

-when I send a message the phone reboots, and when is booted up says "message not sent" (but it did XD)

-sometimes when I open the notification drawer on lockscreen system ui reboots

-most important, when I take a photo with flash the phone freezes on black screen and reboots...this is pretty weird!

anyway, rom is running great, smooth and fast, everything works, is really awesome! thanks OP!

Re: [ROM] CM10.1 AOSP 4.2.1 Jellybean [KANG] [Jan31]

Add a line to local_manifest.xml

to remove the Cyanogen android_hardware_msm7k project (follow the syntax of the other "remove-project" directives). That worked for me.

Yrs,

dkephart

Edit: It would be

<remove-project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_msm7k" />
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
It's not really based on his 4.1 rom. It's based on a totally new 4.2 AOSP version with some of Bruce's previous fixes and code merged in.

So you might have problems flashing over. But I think people have done it. Worst that can happen is you try it and find something is broken because of it 2 weeks from now. You'd still be able to backup your data and do a full wipe and clean flash of Albino's rom then, and restore data.

But...I wouldn't try to restore system data. When I came to Albino's rom I restored my Mobile Data Usage Stats and wifi access points. But other than that, like system settings and such...I wouldn't restore those.

[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Re: [ROM] CM10.1 AOSP 4.2.1 Jellybean [KANG] [Jan31]

Exactly. I would say that, if you are running bruce's, you need to be sure to format /system, cache and dalvik, and then flash gapps 20121212. Not exactly a dirty flash.... but at least you keep data.

That said, if you also wipe /data....well, you can always reclaim it from that nandroid you made before starting all this, right?
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
A bad flash perhaps. reflash 31st build. I use opoup msg and reply from there. Its working super! And lockscreen camera is one of the best thing which is working fantastic!
[HTC Sensation] Step-han:
I have install this rom on my Sensation (fresh install). Before this rom i have used Bruce2728's CM10 rom for months.

First impression, the rom is realy smooth, smoother then i expected. But there are still some things like the CRT-OFF animation that not works 100% smooth. I've used Badass 192-1512 mhz and NOOP schedlur on Bruce's rom soo i did on this rom. It was not soo smooth as it did in the rom of Bruce.

I have played a hour with the rom and i decided to go back to Bruce's rom because its still smoother then this and the batterylife there is awesome.

My conclusion is, albinoman887 u did a nice job for getting 4.2.1 worked on our Sensation but it is for me not as good for a daily driver.

Keep up the good work and if there gonna be more fixes etc after a few update's i'll try it again.

I ran it for a long time with the 128 cache. I posted some screenshots earlier of my card speeds and a logcat. Not sure what is causing it but sometimes, when I try to do something, my phone just sits there. Other times, I get a black screen for a while then it finally does something. I ended up reverting back to the 31st build. It wasn't imaginary lag, it was very noticeable. I'm not sure if the logcat I posted is of any help. Let me know what I can do to help narrow it down. Not sure if it's hardware related or something else.

the readahead cache doesnt just effect sd card btw. i'm pretty sure it effects all data writes. despite what it may list it under in tuner apps.
