So I installed Apr 13th (wiping dalvik/cache and system) and now the CPU settings don't even set themselves. The permissions are correct, the 99kernel file is there. I have no idea what's gone wrong.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

Sorry I missed your post as I was posting mine, here are the only lines I've changed:

"GOV=badass"

"MAXFREQ=1296000"

"BADASS=3" (battery saving mode)

Nothing works anymore after I wiped system and reinstalled just now. On boot, when I go to Performance -> Processor (just to check what the current settings are, not to set them) it says my minimum frequency is 192 MHz, my max is 1566 MHz. At least before it applied the 384 MHz minimum. It's weird.

EDIT: Sultan kernel settings don't stick either. Man this is frustrating now.
[HTC Sensation] Syns:
What's up guys. I'm having some issues sending MMS. When sending MMS the pics send but sends out very distorted. I have the camera set to super fine quality. Any help much appreciated
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
It's not distorted, it's reduced the image quality so that it's not transmitting as much data. It's got nothing to do with your camera quality settings, it's simply how mms works. If you don't like it, join the 21st century and send it in an email instead. ;)
[HTC Sensation] Krasus:
You may want to try some options in AdAway/other adblockers that'll redirect ads to localhost (127.0.0.1) or set up your own server for ads automatically. That could help.

Also I installed Apr-13 build last night, works quite good for me, except the phone starts getting quite hot really fast. Not sure why, didn't happen in previous builds. Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] The_Hamster:
OTG only works with a powered OTG-cable (Link)
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
I just now did your settings and they DO show up in Performance->Processor. After reboot, that is. This means that something is wrong with the way you are saving the 99kernel file. Does it still say what you changed it to? Does it still have rwxr-xr-x permissions? Is it still owned by root and belong to the system group?

I don't have any problems when I use the CM File Manager with root access and the /system mounted r/w.

A way of double-checking is to view the contents of sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0 files, like the two with "maxfreq" in their names.

I don't know why the cpu1 files don't seem to be there, but, for me, this still allows the frequencies to be set (apparently).
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
Yes, I use the CM File Manager, the owners and permissions are correct. I'm sure of that.

It sets it to what I've specified after a reboot (like it has for you), but after a while it just reverts back to the ROM defaults when I check again in Performance -> Processor.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
How long before it resets? What I really mean is, what do you have took have done with the phone for it to reset -- phone calls? Data? Playing around with tuner apps ;)?
[HTC Sensation] Krasus:
Albinoman, I know you're busy, but could you adress this issue in the next release? Pretty please :)

I'm usually setting 99.kernel right after fresh install, then after setting other stuff up and a reboot I check/change it in system performance settings, install No Frills/Kernel Tuner, sometimes both. Nothing really works, sometimes settings stick for a while, sometimes they get back to 1566 right after I press "apply". There is a setting for CPU settings not sticking in HTC One (kernel tuner) but it says that it has to keep both CPUs online. Not sure about a similar setting in No Frills, but it's probably the same thing.

Could this be fixed inside the ROM, or could we get aroma installer, or a flashable script for CPU settings perhaps?
[HTC Sensation] robocik:
dont know about sending, but i still have problems receiving mms, but i discovered that it may be the size of the pic which is the issue, when i tested with a picture smaller then 500Kb it came thru, bigger does not.

is there an easy way of increasing the size of the mms? In sense roms there was some values in /system/customize/MNS/default.xml which was simple to edit, how is it in CM10?
[HTC Sensation] Sleepy!:
You'll need an externally powered USB OTG cable.

Take a look at Sebastian's thread.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
One thing, probably nothing, but the script file is 99kernel, not "99.kernel"

In your case, you mention using 3rd-party tuners. These often create their own init.d script files. It is up to you to check their contents, make sure they don't conflict with 99kernel.

It has already been started that Aroma does not belong in a CM ROM, especially since adjustable settings should be accessible from inside the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
Just the usual normal stuff, checking emails and browsing the web on wifi/data, texting, etc. I don't have any tuner apps installed, as I mentioned.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
K. While I'm waiting around for mind to reset, if it does, here's another question. You do not have "set on boot" enabled in performance, right? That is not needed since the init.d scripts run at boot.
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
No, that's always been disabled.

I'm gonna try a full wipe to see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks for your help, by the way!
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:

[HTC Sensation] earlgrey_44:
Latest ver running without issues just fine for many hours now, and no need to reinstall from scratch either - nice!

While most of our attention lately has gone to the vagaries of the recent builds, I'd like to update my reasons for sticking with this JB ROM over the nice ICS versions available for our phones.

My first impression was listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38652422&postcount=21462

I've now got a new item for the list: consistently near immediate GPS locks.

In my experience, the best ICS ROMs could not do what the bruce/albinoman JB ROMs do in this respect, and I'm really appreciating it.

For example, my business partner also has a Sensation running on T-Mobile US. We both went to look for directions in an unfamiliar city the other day. My phone looked up our target place on the Yelp app, smoothly connected to GMaps, went quickly from there to GNav, where a lock,verbal directions and the map were immediately available.

We were down the road four or five minutes and her stock TMO ICS still showed "searching for GPS"

This is great performance from this ROM for this phone. :highfive:
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Hmm, starting to experience the gallery app fc'ing when launching the camera for some reason. You can open it up straight afterwards and it be fine though?
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
Got that once, when I first opened it after flashing the new version. It's no big thing for me. I think the gallery.apk contains the camera app as well, correct me if I'm wrong.

edit:

Happened second time to me now, I just don't use the camera very often ^^

[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
I get this every now and again.

I can't remember if I tried clearing the Gallery app data but I'll do it now.

EDIT: Nevermind, just got a FC after clearing data.
[HTC Sensation] Syns:
OK even tho it should not resize it that small that u can't tell who it is. This needs to be fixed. So your telling me that u do not send MMS?

Its within the MMS. Should have a setting to change it to 1000 if its not.
[HTC Sensation] HaYaHa:
Since the builds of April, I get whatsapp messages very late. With the 03/31 build I get the whatsapp messages directly.

How can I solve this problem?
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
I've never experienced this and I also always change my 99kernel settings from its default. I have zero tuner apps installed and continue to monitor my performance settings from within performance settings.

There must be something different with how your phone is setup that is causing this. Here is the most basic test:

Full wipe, install ROM, install gapps, complete first boot setup and be sure to stop play store from reinstalling your apps, modify 99kernel, verify it's changed and permissions/ownership set, reboot.

If it happens in this manner, then you can reboot and keep a logcat running to capture what's happening. If you have any apps added into this testing, it would be less conclusive.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
It doesn't resize it that small for it to become distorted as much as you say. For example, here's a screenshot of an image I sent via mms yesterday. This image is AFTER it downscaled it, opened from the messaging app:

But yes if I want the image quality to stay good I simply email it instead, especially since I'm normally sending more than one image at once.
[HTC Sensation] Noobel:
Finally a build without lag! :good:

Still 1 issue remains - com.android.phone constantly crashes when I put my phone in a HTC Cradle Docking Station and try to make a call.

It was in the apr7, apr11 and now in arp13. mar31 didn't have that trouble.

Albinoman, please dont's forget to fix that silly bug.

Thanks!

[HTC Sensation] The_Hamster:
I have had a weird problem on the last couple of build.. My screen doesn't respond to touch-inputs after call, so I have to force-reboot it..
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
See my explanation about S2W...couple of pages back...

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

You posted a kmesg for that? You know, in case Albinoman doesn't have to access to a docking cradle...

Edit: sorry! A logcat is what's needed...
[HTC Sensation] bxlegend:
It's an app crash wouldn't he need to get a logcat.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Yep. Thanks... Saw the word crash, thought phone.
[HTC Sensation] Sleepy!:
Honestly, Matt...

This build is spoiling me... :D

Haven't had any random reboots yet.

Haven't had any lag yet.

Haven't even felt like opening CatLog to check for any errors... :p

This build is the best I've seen yet on the Sensation. Hands down.

There's always been some ways in which jelly bean on the Sensation has been slower than some single core phones I've seen.

But not on this build.

This build is a huge step in the right direction, and after almost a day of casual use, it's imaginable how much effort must've gone into making the new commits that make it so awesome.

Thanks a lot, Matt. :beer: :)
[HTC Sensation] FeralFire:
If my battery is lower than 25% and I get an incoming call, the phone simply dies. I have had this problem since the past few builds and even a full wipe did not help.

I tried searching for a solution but it was unfruitful. Can somebody please point me in the right direction?
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
The phone simply dying doesn't sound good. I had problems like that as well, only a new battery did help.

FM Radio not working

Hi Albinoman and all, I moved from Bruce CM10 when FM Radio (Spirit FM) working fine for me, so I tried on this build (13/04) and I saw horrible behavior ! Aplication try turn bluetooth on (it never do before on CM10), then stuck when you change settings and you lose sounds on all phone, only headset working. Unfortunately restart not help, even when you uninstall Spirit FM, wiping every partitions and restore from nandroid backup not help ! Only way is fresh installation. Thanks god, you can install rom only, then restore everything again from backup. I tried it on two different phones with different kernels and the same results - they completely lose sound ! Anybody know what's going on ? I tried 08/04 version Spirit FM. Maybe later I check previous build which works on Bruce CM10. I overlooked something or this rom not support FM Radio ?

Edit: It's not aplication related problem - something strange in new kernel...on ChronicKernel-dev-0412 everything seems OK
[HTC Sensation] jorra:
Sounds like a bad battery, try take some pictures with flash on. If that kills the phone it's most likely due to old/bad battery.

[HTC Sensation] redback_rsa:
ROM should support radio, it's been asked about a lot.

On a side note, I was running build 4.11 with Sultan r24b2 and I just randomly lost sound today, only headphones worked. Didn't use any apps when I lost sound. Luckily reflashing the ROM fixed it.
[HTC Sensation] erraggy:
Same happened to me. I restored my system & boot from the nandroid that I made before flashing r24b2, and sound is good once again.

hi there

hi . i use the last version , April-13 , someOne tell me What is the best Kernel for battry saver?

i dont know why , but in this version , LIKE the perivous version of this rom , my battery usage is too much .

i dont know why ... ?

not much network working not much gameing not much calling , but my battery soon over .

please give me the best kernel for this problem . ( sensation XE )

tnx
[HTC Sensation] Sleepy!:
Hmmmm battery life has gone down on this build...

Persistently getting about 3 hrs 15 mins of screen time... On the 31/3 build it would be around 4 hrs 30 mins.

One other thing I've noticed is that the network operation mode preferences are missing from this ROM... I still have them on my Motorola Defy... Uploading a screenie of the same.

You can get similar functionality from the status bar toggles, but they don't let you choose preferred operating mode...

[HTC Sensation] Sleepy!:

For good battery life, roll back to the 31st March build.

Edit the init.d script and make the following changes:

Maxfreq= 972 MHz

Minfreq= 192 MHz

Governor= badass

Badass level= 3

Set GPU clocks to the lowest settings and use the ROM on 2G only.

Also, use an auto brightness app like Yet Another Auto Brightness or Velis Auto Brightness.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
No it isn't most likely to be the battery. There's a slim chance, but more often than not it's loose contacts.
[HTC Sensation] darkobas:
You need to make 1 or 2 full charge/discharge cycles. If that doesnt help your battery is faulty.
[HTC Sensation] badai:
i use externally powered cable, which can power up external hd on galaxy s3. yet when i use it on sensation with normal usb drive, it's not detected.
[HTC Sensation] D00mSlayer:
Sightly off topic. My phone shuts down randomly like mentioned before by someone else. You say a new battery is required? Cuz mine has slightly become fat on both sides, like I can spin it on a table. I used a paper and put it at the back and now its all good.

Besides that, 13th April = GENIUS! Also, #ScreenshotSunday

[HTC Sensation] sromer:
What icon pack are you using?

31st March build here, working perfectly. Going to give the latest build a try today.
[HTC Sensation] FeralFire:
I searched for both those things. Wedging seems to be the solution in the case that battery is swollen or misshaped. And ground pin problem affects the touchscreen.

I don't have either problems.

Pictures with flash on captured perfectly. (Well not perfectly, because flash ruins pictures :P)

I just shifted to April 13 ROM today. So the recharge cycles will take a couple of days. I will check and report back.

But I don't think that that would be the problem. Cause I have had this issue since about a month. I have gone through many complete charge/discharge cycles.

And just to clarify, I am not facing random reboots. They are very specific to the fact that it ONLY happens when I get an incoming call with the battery lower than 25%.

And thank you everybody for you help.. :)
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
No, wedging is the solution when your battery has somehow gotten a bit loose and needs to make better contact. Usual symptom: random reboots. Note that, in your case, a vibration is going through the phone from the incoming call while the voltage is getting a little dicey.

Wedging the battery in a little tighter seems like a reasonable measure to take, no?

Of course, maybe you are using one of those death-metal, bone-crunching ringtones and the phone is freaking out, :P
[HTC Sensation] MIGhunter:
I don't use my phone (to make calls) very much, matter-o-fact, this morning was the 1st time since the 13th install. Today, tried to use it and it was totally freaking out. The dialer kept turning on. It kept beeping, I kept dropping calls. This has never happened before on other builds. Dirty flashed so now I am erasing everything and doing a clean install to see if that helps.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
No, wedging the battery is nothing to do with a swollen battery, it's to make it make better contact with the battery terminals.

And the ground pin isn't only to do with the touchscreen, but it's also to do with the random shutdowns if it has a loose connection. Something to do with it switching between 2g and 3g it seems, in areas of poor reception my shutdowns were worse.

Just to clarify, this is nothing to do with random reboots, it's for random SHUTDOWNS, where it literally just goes off totally in an instant.

Rather than dismissing them, just try them, it doesn't cost anything. It fixed my phone and plenty of others, mine's been spot on for a year now, not ONE random shutdown since.
[HTC Sensation] FeralFire:
Ok, done both. Wedged the battery in there and put a piece of aluminum foil for the ground pin.

I will let you know if it helps. :)

Anyone else get this when trying to take an HDR picture? Stock camera app. Dirty flash of 13th build.
[HTC Sensation] biomech91:
HDR has never worked for me, but it's a hacked feature for some phones that don't support it so we can't expect it to even work on the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Moh Kohn:
Keep the phone still and it won't do that. HDR needs three shots to process, if they are not in exactly the same place you end up with that.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
You've got to keep the phone PERFECTLY still, it takes three photos and merges them. If it moves even slightly during the process, you get that happening.

EDIT: Beaten to it.
[HTC Sensation] MunkyButt:
I've never used it until I took those two pics, not a problem, I was just messin with the camera and figured I'd check it out.

The stock HDR camera doesn't auto crop/straighten the images so they line up. Hopefully it will be added in the future, you'll need a tripod to get a decent shot with it.

HDR Camera + seems the best option at the minute, on the sensation it supports the fastest exposure change mode so if you're not using the flash all 3 photos pretty much take at the same time + it has fantastic autocropping etc.

It's default settings are kinda sucky though.

Hi all, I noticed that even when I change things in 99z, it doesn't seem to work. I needed TUN and activated it but according to the software that uses it, it's not active. It worked fine on older builds so I don't know what changed. Looking back at 99z, my changes are still there. Just not kicking in for some reason. Is this the "not sticking" thing some people have posted about?

Sorry I might've missed it but is there a fix? I might change kernels to see if that helps (waiting for Sultan to fix something before flashing). If it does, I'll report back since that would seem to indicate a kernel problem...

[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
You've asked three times in about 3 or 4 pages, if you read my reply to your first post asking you'll see there's no problem with how it is at the moment. It's not a case of just changing the maximum size, as it's down to what size your network is willing to send per message, and also what the receiving phone can actually open as an mms. So just send an email, it's a smart phone ffs.
[HTC Sensation] Syns:
alright. its not what the network is willing to send per message, the reason is when i switch to my other rom ICS i have no issues what so ever, and i am sending it to 2 different people 1 Verizon and the other T-Mob and i send it to myself aswell and still getting resized where when you save the image its distorted... So im gessing its the ROM not the service. please explain what else would be the issue, and if you do not know how to change the MMS sending to 1000k please say so and have someone else answer the question.
