ive been trying to get a nice stable build. i've been testing stuff for the last two days. theres been a lot of upstream updates and stuff. sorry i wont tease with release anymore. i just dont want you guys to think i left or something, thats all
[HTC Sensation] j1po:
Take your time man

I currently satisfied with this ROM, previously I'm sense lover :p

Your ROM + Sultan Kernel + Delta-roh turboboost has the speed of light :victory:

who has working patched camera with photosphere, please share to me, I can't find it
[HTC Sensation] elmo13th:
I think you mean this camera: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901917
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
For me the april 7. buld is very stable and fast - best one for now. Im using Sultan Kernel and no OC.
[HTC Sensation] krugm0f0:
Apr 07 is very slow and laggy for me too. Been using it since release. Reflashed twice. The slowness comes and goes, sometimes hangs and I have to wait like 30 sec for it to respond again.

Upgraded to the new One yesterday, just waiting for my new SIM card :D
[HTC Sensation] j1po:
thanks

but not works, now I have 2 camera and 2 gallery, and can't open, gallery stoped
[HTC Sensation] elmo13th:
Works here. Disable the old Gallery app in Manage Apps in order to have 1 camera.
[HTC Sensation] hltbest:
Dude take your time. 99.9% of us are happy for you to work at a slower pace and create a more stable build :P You shouldn't feel rushed! Your work is awesome, the march 31st build has made my phone so much fun to use haha, tempted not to bother upgrading it now ;) So yeah, thanks for everything!!
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
b_b, all I want is to know where I can change the speed value of notification pull down/up animation and if that's actually possible in first place.

Talking of SGSIII (official firmware) or/and HTC Sence 4+ (even 4.1) when you slightly pull the notification bar it goes down pretty fast and even faster when closing definitely faster than default CM setting. Obviously I'm not interested in moving my finger all the way from top to bottom or vice versa. :)

Actually it's not a bug at all and "thanks" is probably a way to emphasize an interest of another person to the same question. ;)

Edit: Aren't you the one who thanked the post? ;)

Seems like we're talking about different things or different English maybe? :)

Cheers

[HTC Sensation] mikebeatrice:
From what I remember, remove (or freeze) the old gallery and it should then work.
[HTC Sensation] MIGhunter:
It doesn't surprise me you had to go back 7 pages. Today is the 11th. The last update was the 7th. So, ya in a thread like this that moves very fast, you have to go back to closer to the build date to see what happened. There is a ton of pages of why the build didn't work. People tested a lot of stuff, different governors, Albinoman suggested a few things for ppl to try, etc. As for being kind, if ppl see a lack of self-help, they won't help you. So, be kind and and read a little. Maybe if you prefaced your post by saying you read back 3-4 pages and didn't see anything, people would be more understanding.

You don't have search?
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
From Manage Apps, select the old gallery, click "Disable".

Clear cache for the new gallery.

Or, heck, you've got root, delete the old gallery from system/app and reboot.
[HTC Sensation] 84Guzz:
Try it, the search function is currently disabled somehow

Edit: It's working again, search was disabled for a couple of hours,

As I mentioned in my earlier post, you need an account that is part of an Exchange server. Others have mentioned that Microsoft's email services offer Exchange sever syncing for free. All you have to do is sign up for an account. If there are conditions that prevent you from doing any of the options spoken of or anything keeping you from using Gapps, you're just out of luck.

Actually all of the default apps (calendar, mail, browser, etc) are meant to function without Google services. There is no dependency. The only apps that depend on Google services are the Gapps.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
For the love of all things holy, man...

How many more times are you going to ask this question that clearly no one here knows the answer to? Or that no one here cares enough to find the answer to?

The pulldown takes about a half a second to come down on its own. You can make it go faster by moving your finger faster, but you dont want to do that. (The exercise is good for you!)

The notification window is not part of the regular animation system because changing the animation speeds has no effect on it. That means its probably hard coded into the android framework by google. Its doubtful that the cm team ever even looked at it to adjust it. And that means that the only way to change it is to compile the rom yourself after editting the aosp or cm code, since no one else wants the change made to the rom.

Simply put, you are the only one who has ever cared about this ever.
[HTC Sensation] albinoman887:
new build posted. should be good. i'm gonna be gone for a few hrs so hopefually if anyone has problems others can chime in.

Thanks Albinoman! Seems tot run very smoothly, good video playback too.

Saw a few glitches upon closing YouTube. And it seems it takes a little longer for my notification bar settings to cloth after changing a setting. I'll see how it holds up :)

SD cache size

Hey Albino,

SD cache size has been changed to 2048KB instead of the expected 128KB (it has been 128KB in all builds for the past few months). This will definitely affect real-world performance with SD access. I'm guessing it was not intentional? Perhaps this is a contributor to the aforementioned "lag".

Tony
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
What that cast sez is right! Plus it's am excellent ROM build! Thanks muchly, Albinoman887!!
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
The 2048KB is a recommended cache size for *most* SDCards speed. You can test the speed with "SD Card Speed Test" from play store and see which value works best for you.

Fact is, for my old class 4 card and my current Class 10 card, 2048 does improve I/O on the sdcard :)
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
Unfortunately I still have problems using the April-11 build, lag-related problems. It was not a clean install but dirty flash from March-31 build, so I'll go for a clean install now to see if it fixes it. It still feels like the RAM is overloaded.

update:

OK, I'm seeing this as well. Changed it to 128KB with System Tuner Pro, will see if it makes a difference.

edit: What should I say - it actually made a difference. Set it to work on reboot with init.d script, rebooted once, lagfree feeling (concerning the last 15 minutes). I'll be interested what everybody has to say concerning this topic.
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
Im not a expert regarding the SD Card cache size, but back to when i had the Incredible S phone, there was a lot of talk about the Cache size.

My test showed that i got the best performance with 3072 kb.

On my Sensation with a 32 gb Class 10 im running 2048 kb.

With 128 kb i get 7.5 kb write and 21.6 kb Read.

With 2048 i get 10,8 kb write and 26.3 kb Read.

That's just my experience.
[HTC Sensation] Masterloki666:
Hey Albino I'm experiencing the infamous data connectivity issue it was reintroduced in last release I've done 2 fresh installs even reverted to a 3.6 build jus to make sure I could get it to work there an all was good then I did another fresh install of latest build still no good hmmm :confused: anyone else having issues here's a logcat

Just wondering if anyone knew if UHS1 SD card speeds were capable with software alone? I have a 64GB running perfect for a few months and 20MB/10MB R/W speed is great, but I'm curious.

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
I specifically used the words "real-world performance" to hopefully prevent this sort of response. Yes, you may get a better benchmark result with a synthetic SD card speed test using 2048 KB read-ahead but real world performance will be negatively impacted. I've worked with both Albinoman and Android1234567 (Sultan) on this in the past and the consensus was for 128 KB read-ahead. Also, when people are reporting that build A works great and build B has performance issues you generally want to look for what changed between build A and B that could affect performance. SD read-ahead sticks out like a sore thumb in this case.
[HTC Sensation] daddoso:
128KB did the trick for me, dirty flashed 11-apr on 31-mar and got the same lag as before. Luckily I read here and changed cache size before restoring backup.
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
Can you let me know the required lines for that please?

I noticed the increased cache size in the Apr 7th build and thought it might've been a factor.
[HTC Sensation] acplayer:
Masterloki666, I have been experiencing this issue since the April 7 build.

I've edited every radio/ril combination and reverted to previous builds and my data speed is either non-existent or terrible.

Package Permission Issues

Greetings @Albinoman887,

My first boot on 20130411 was a bit slow so I rebooted again with logcat running on my laptop and saw a lot of W/PackageManager messages about unknown permissions. Without looking into that closer, I rebooted to recovery and ran a fix permissions for good measure. The next reboot, I allowed `adb logcat *:W` to run until the ROM fully booted and completed all (if not most) of its initialization (waited for all my home widgets to load and apps on SD to have their icons render). I still see a lot of these same warnings and even noticed that some system apps were reporting them as well like this one:

W/PackageManager( 435): Unknown permission android.permission.ADD_SYSTEM_SERVICE in package com.android.phone

I have the full logcat on pastebin here.

A quick search of the google for that message above turned up a SO question that mentions it may be related to the targeted SDK in the manifest.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8854012/unknown-permission-while-developing-with-c2dm

Not sure how this effects the ROM, but I wanted to bring it to your attention.

BTW... after rebooting, the ROM has been performing all nice and buttery smooth once again. :D
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
I changed it with system tuner pro and chose "set on boot via init.d", so it created the file "99pmwsdcache" in my init.d-folder. You can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ac4q3e3kfd5p5vz/99pmwsdcache

Otherwise, you could simply create it on your own, the lines are:

#!/system/bin/sh
chmod 777 /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb
echo "128" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb
chmod 777 /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/read_ahead_kb
echo "128" > /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/read_ahead_kb
chmod 777 /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb
echo "128" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb
if [ ! -e /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb]
then
sleep 60
fi
chmod 777 /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb
echo "128" > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/read_ahead_kb
chmod 777 /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/read_ahead_kb
echo "128" > /sys/block/mmcblk1/queue/read_ahead_kb
chmod 777 /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb
echo "128" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

Don't forget to set the right permissions, the same as your other init.d scipts. Should be rwxr-xr-x (755). I guess, some lines are too much, as it is somewhat universal, but it does the trick. I'm not good enough at scriping to figure out what to delete.
[HTC Sensation] aidanski:
Just got a load of graphical glitches(flashing) and I'm not at my PC so I couldn't unfortunately get a logcat. It originated pulling the notification bar down and then spread. Strangely the keyboard wasn't affected, it 'sat' on top of the glitches. Apart from that, after a reboot it's running perfect.

Lags on 4/11 Build

Just wanted to post so people were aware. Reverted to 331 again as 411 was pretty much unusable for me. I will try a fresh build and change the read to 128 and report back.

Update:

Setting 128 cache size seems to do the trick for me. I have had it for an hour so will report back if it goes back to being unresponsive.
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
I'm not experiencing any lag on Apr 11th build with 128 kB read-ahead.

Let's see if the CPU frequencies stick now.
[HTC Sensation] roccatkone:
The kernel of the HTC One S has been published by HTC on http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads

is it useful for our Sensation? (HTC One S C2 is actually a Sensation with AMOLED-screen).
[HTC Sensation] mikebeatrice:
Same here... screen is still refusing to turn back on for me after a few minutes of being booted into the rom. I had the same problem on 4/7. While it's up, it's definitely smoother than 4/7 was. Everything appears to still be running when this happens... i still get audible notifications, etc. When I try to wake the phone, the buttons light up and go off after a few seconds like normal... nothing on screen. If I hit power again, I can tell it locks the phone again because when I hit it a third time it appears to wake up... no screen again but the buttons light up.

Once it's like this I have to do a vol up/down/power button reboot.

What could I supply to help troubleshoot this? It'll probably be a few days until I can flash it again and do some tests.
[HTC Sensation] daddoso:
I had the same problem, increase the max freq on screen off. I had 384 (with SetCPU), increased to 540 and it's fine again.
[HTC Sensation] mikebeatrice:
Okay, I'll try flashing it again and report back. I had it at 384 as well and hadn't thought of bumping it up more. Notice much of a battery difference?
[HTC Sensation] daddoso:
Can't tell, i did this change about 30minutes ago.

EDIT: Ok, that "trick" worked until 10minutes ago, can't turn on screen again. Reverted to 31-mar backup.
[HTC Sensation] Halluzman:
What happened to fm radio? I can see mention in chanelog from Mar-22 about re-enabling it, but now i can't find it in apps.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
There is no standard app for it. Try Spirit FM.
[HTC Sensation] zylix42:
Nice, though I'm having wifi issues. It just won't connect. Logcat doesn't work anymore either for some reason.
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Well just to confirm, i fresh flashed 11th to check with all the updates. It took me 2 hours to test and re-setup my phone like before. But well at last worth it.

I can confirm that SD cache being 2048 causes all the lag. Now I put it on128 and its boom fast like it should be.

No problem with video playback and YouTube.

The ROM is faster if not restoring data from backup which i had been song for last 10 update or more! lol! The ROM is more responsive!

The default player can't play 1080p video. But the modded cam can play as usual.

Overall fast and smooth as butter. Lets see how does it behave after a couple f days use.

Thanks is merely words albino for your hard work. Donation on the way!
[HTC Sensation] nickislauw:
what ya'll talking about lag ??? man this is so buttersmooth full wipe to april 11 build..

SD cache is still at 2048.

Only video playback is still glitchy.. 480P try to forward the movie but then it says cannot play this video. but it is listed as known bugs so ;)
[HTC Sensation] Igneo676:
Had the same issue, reverted to march 31st unfortunately. Seemed very well put together, no lag, but this bug is show stopper :(
[HTC Sensation] Coco@CCS:
Change your CPU to 1188 and test for a few hours
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
For everyone talking about sdcard cache size 128k vs 2048.

It ALL depends on the sdcard you have. Mine is responsive with 2048 (currently with class 10), my old sdcard class 4 was more responsive with 1024 / 2048. It's not a general rule, if your card works faster (there's several variable mechanisms envolving this so there's no one hat fit all) with 128, then go for it, but far as I'm concerned, cache size does NOT usually influence rom performance overally except with input and output operations to the sdcard. So use the value that works best for you. I always set up mine with 2048 and never had lag because of that.

There's an app in play store called sdcard tester (link). Give it a go with the different values.

Usually faster card ( 6 and above ) works better with 2048. But once again, depends on brand and read/write operations envolved in that brand. Some of them right faster in the beggining and the speed slowly fades as it keeps continuing writting, here 128 does the trick. Other cards are able to maintain speed or have almost no difference, there 1024 / 2048 does help in terms of transfers.

I hope everyone reads this and don't keep a current value because X user said so. Try for yourselfs, after all it's part of the individual tweaking.

There's only so much Albino can do to keep it smooth.

Also, it's an obvious logic if you're not restoring any apps it will be fast, no apps installed, less content to read = faster. There's ALWAYS some performance loss (sometimes not noticeable) when filling your internal data / sdcard with apps. Unless the kind of apps you're restoring has some different structure (from other rom) and doesn't restore data properly. So keep in mind what apps you're restoring. One thing is games and their data, another is system apps from another rom.

Have fun :good:
[HTC Sensation] Jimx2:
No. The sensation does not have a UHS-1 reader since that technology didn't even exist at the time of the Sensation development. And plus those SD cards are made for cameras that shoot at 4k resolutions and whatnot. All you need on a phone is class 6
[HTC Sensation] redback_rsa:
Same issue happens with Sultan latest beta kernel. Are you using intellidemand or smartass governors? Switching to Ondemand (others use badass fine apparently) fixed it for me.

Video artifacts are also bad in the YouTube app. I will apply the cache tweak to fix the lag.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I too had lag when I'd first flashed the 4/11 update, especially in chrome. Changing the sd card cache size seems to have helped like others have said. Maybe for future builds leave the cache size at 128 for those of us with ****ty sd cards, so those who don't actually read the thread don't start repeatedly posting about the "issue"?
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Yup thats the case. But people are reporting video playback problem but I have played 720p with ease and no glitch on yourtube at all!
