Well I was using CanogenMod 7 with 4EXT Recovery on HTC Desire. I also haven't found the need to change radio or sth.

I just would like to be able to flash custom ROM - exactly Cyanogenmod and 4EXT Recovery i also find very handy ;)

On Desire i needed to do S-OFF for that by using AlphaRev method - this also gave me the ability to change partition table - Cyanogenmod took less space and reparitiotning increased /data capacity.

What i expect from Sensation is to be able to:

*) Install Cyanogenmod and 4EXT

*) Have root access on cyanogenmod

*) Be able to access fastboot and flash /boot /recovery from there - may be usefull to change kernel.

*) Dont have problems with overheating - I don't need 1.5GHz CPU to be honest.

*) Be able to send it for warranty repair and dont care that someone will tell me that the warranty is void due to custom software, like it does with Desire ;(

Is all of that possible? And what would i need then? htcdev.com & unlock bootloader, or S-OFF? What would be better for me?

Actually I sue the seller because of warranty void - well... i wanted to use guarranty due to European Union directive: 1999/44/EC. He never repried to me, so it's used to be claim considered... Anyway he still doesnt want to repair or refund it... What else can i do if not sue him? :D

BTW: 2 more questions:

1) How big is /data partition? In Desire afaik it was <200MB, after repartitioning it was about 250MB.

2) Regarding, Cyanogenmod - i found on their website that v9 is latest version that supports Sensation. I know there is v10 and v10.1 on the way... Just not sure if ill find releases designer for sensation?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
for your expectations:

yes you can do them.it doesn't matter if you are S-ON or S-OFF

but in case you want to send it for repair then your option is juopunutbear method(S-OFF)

because if you use htcdev(unlock method)it will void the warranty

now for the other 2 questions:

1)i don't remember exactly the capacity but i think it is around at 700-800MB

but i think it depends from the rom too

2)again i can't answer you to that mate:(

Sensation xe

Hi belliash;

I am too making a research on the net for sensation xe as i may buy one. One of it's problems as i heard, and read hundreds of pages on the net about it, is the dust under screen issue. And it seems no one figured a real fix, unless you return it under warranty.

Regards.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yeap that too

thanks jhafner
[HTC Sensation] belliash:
I see now. Just one more question regarding S-Off then... Will i need to do a Wire Trick?

About dust under touch screen - do you know how can it get inside? I'm planning to use something like this: http://nokautimg2.pl/p-1d-d2-1dd2e4...500/tp-c620-etui-plastikowe-htc-sensation.jpg ... maybe this will minimize this effect? Or the dust gets inside through holes between cover and gorilla glass? :|
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yeah if the hboot is 1.2x(probably because the device will come with ics firmware)

that is only the back cover of the device

you won't do nothing if you change it

i have changed the back cover too and i still have dust in the top of the screen

and i have to clean it every few time by removing the back cover.very annoying
[HTC Sensation] jhafner:
Hi;

No, that case will not prevent dust under screen. The best and simple solution i could see is silicone, but it is hard for me to bring a brand new phone(my first smartphone ever), and put silicone on the edges of the screen. Also some reported dust from camera hole.

I don't know !!!!!!!!!

If you bought it or found a solution please inform me.

Regards.

Hi rzr86;

Have you tried silicon seal around the edges of the screen?, is dust really that annoying that you could see all the time?

Regards.
[HTC Sensation] belliash:
which silicone? can you show one? The one i showe looks like a silicone / plastic "back" that also covers edges... I had sth like this on htc desire. Thats how it looks like, there are virety of models:

http://img10.allegroimg.pl/photos/400x300/29/18/62/69/2918626911

http://nokautimg2.pl/p-99-ad-99ad69...00/pokrowiec-otterbox-htc-desire-defender.jpg

I know that this protects the rubber layer on battery cover that likes to peel.

More questions to owners:

1) What about signal range? I have read about death grip... and that it existed in older series. I have mixed feelings here

2) It has 3.5mm jack connector -> only for headphones? Or is this also a headset (with microphone)?
[HTC Sensation] Sorin90:
5)Bad audio quality in video recording=Crappy video...there is no fix for now ! :good:
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i have to clean it 1 or 2 times every month

but i haven't tried a silicon seal

actually i don't like it because it makes the device looks like a big potato:D
[HTC Sensation] jhafner:
Hi rzr86;

Can you confirm that if i used your method of cleaning dust won't come inside screen?, also how do you clean it and which parts?

Do you do anything else to prevent it from dust, like not putting it in your pockets or anything else?

Do you advise me to get galaxy ace 2 instead of sensation xe(as sensation is @ the top range of my budget)?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards.

Hi belliash;

It is called silicone seal for the screen, search for " HTC Thunderbolt silicone fix seal " on you tube to get an idea.

regards.
[HTC Sensation] belliash:
@jhafner: You mean this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh3pBnW4_Po ?

BTW: Im also interested in how you clean this, rzr86? Can you also tell something about signal range, death grip and headset? Is it possible to talk with this, or just to listen to music?
[HTC Sensation] hellfire191:
I too am interested in your method of cleaning the dust from underneath the screen as my device suffers very slightly from this.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i think guys you misunderstood me somehow

i am just removing the back cover and cleaning the top above of the screen with a simple swab:)

about signal range from my personal expirience i never had any issues.always good signal

about headset i am using them only for music.but i have noticed that i can't use the buttons from headset to change tracks or fast forward or anything else.maybe because of the custom kernel?:confused: i really don't know

about death grip hmm what is that?:o

edit:i haven't seen personally the galaxy ace 2 so i can't tell you which one you can take.maybe sensation xe:cool:
[HTC Sensation] jhafner:
Hi rzr86;

Thanks for your reply.

Please bear with me :o , but I have another questions to ask:

1-Have you tried spreading silicone around the edges method(not silicone case - just refer to belliash link video)?

2-By removing the back cover, you mean you clean the inside of back cover only, or also the unit itself where camera and flash lights are located?

3-Do you have any dust under your screen, or that method of yours completly prevented dust?

Sorry again and thanks for your cooperation, I am interested in sensation xe and don't want to be disaappointed :crying: .

Regards.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
1)no i haven't try nothing

2)except the back cover,from the device itself i am cleaning the area exactly above of the htc logo:)

3)actually i never noticed dust under my screen

if you need anything elese i will be here:cool:
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
This is just a summary for you.

I've never had any dust under my screen. There is CyanogenMod 10.1 which is the latest android 4.2.2 software. Overheating isn't really an issue unless you play 3D games at 1.7GHz and neither is the death grip. It can get warm though, but it isn't a cause for concern. Signal range is generally consistent also. And S-OFF provides a better and easier experience of Android as it provides a lit of freedom.

:D
[HTC Sensation] jhafner:
Hi Jikstah;

Thanks for sharing your experience. Regarding not having dust under screen, have you used any kind of sealent?, do you have cover for the phone?, do you clean it regularly?, anything we should know of?

Regards.
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
Not at all, I run my phone naked. haha, no cover, no screen protector. I think it might vary between manufacturing dates and batches as such. So I can't speak for everyone, I got mine late 2011.

[HTC Sensation] jhafner:
Hi rzr86;

Yeah, I've read mostly all the pages, but nothing. Some people say it has that problem, others say not. I guess if I bought it, I’ll put decent cover on it, and clean it regularly.

Thanks anyway.

The thread is for users like me that i want it to try an aosp rom but i didn't know that it will ruine my GPS and the only way to fix it again is to go back to stock rom and again to root rom! So please if you don't want to loose your GPS don't flash AOSP roms!!! Only Touch Wiz.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
This was a wasted and unnecessary thread, as well as naive and immature.

As far as we know, you did something incorrectly in your endeavor to transition from stock to aosp. Do not blame your mistake, a system error, bad download, etc on an aosp operating system that millions of phones have been flashed to and are running fine on.

My wife updated her

stock

S3 from ICS to jelly bean and had GPS issues for weeks. I had to wipe the whole phone and start over for her.

I would feel stupid if I was you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] satizen:
It is a thread for newbies that they don't know the problems that an AOSP rom brings! I don't blame anyone dude i just want to warn people if you feel stupid for this so me too. And if you seek you will see many more people have problems from aosp roms so immature is your post ok?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
I've been using AOSP based ROMs since October and not once have I had a single GPS issue. Sounds like there was definitely a user error. I don't think developers would release a ROM that knowingly disabled your GPS capabilities
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] third son:
I have been using Vanilla RootBox for months now with no issues whatsoever on my Galaxy 4g Touch. I don't understand why you say they ruin your GPS?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] satizen:
As i said before just look and seek about GPS problems there is a whole big thread about it....So and because every phone behaves different from others it's not bad for the users to know it.... I haven't a problem with Aosp Roms or developers i think they make great work. I just say my personal bad experience that is sure became from an aosp rom. Many people have the same problem. I think the forum is for saying the problems and to provide help for our problems....So why i am taking attack? Did i anything bad?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
You feel attacked because no one understands your ignorance.

You you had a "personal bad experience" but tell everyone on xda, via this thread, that AOSP is broken and touchwiz is the only way to go. You obviously are overlooking all the posts concerning stock firmware issues. I'm assuming you're also judging an operating system (4.2) that's still in it's beta (nightly) stages. Grab a stable release, follow the directions correctly and be amazed...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhomiec:
The post is for users like me that want it to try TouchWiz ROM but i didn't know that it will ruin my GPS and the only way to fix it again is to go flash another ROM! So please if you don't want to lose your GPS don't flash TouchWiz ROMG!!!

:P

sorry, had to vent opposite. i've had GPS issues with every kind of ROM (TouchWiz and AOSP). just be patient. re-flash the ROM, talk to the dev, or wait for a new version of the same ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:

I'm going to buy a pda phone, but I have not yet dediced between the XDA and the HP Jornada 928.

What do you suggest me?

I live in Italy and both phones are not sold here, so I have to buy it by Internet (expansys or ebay, etc...) SIM unlocked or SIM locked. If SIM locked I'll then have to unlock it for my dual band Italy operator (WIND).

For example, can I buy a O2 XDA in Germany and then unlock it and upgrade it to english language (or, in the future, in Italian)?

Many PDA (without phone) have pocket pc Italian OS. Why is not possible to upgrade a XDA to that OS?

I have downloaded from Microsoft the suite to build windows CE. NET platforms, including phone capabilities. Is it possible to create my own platform and download it in the XDA?

Thanks to everyone.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] siliconaddict:
HP Jornada 928?????

HP Jornada 928 :shock: ? Wasn't the HP Jornada 928 discontinued? Where can you still buy a HP Jornada 928?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Carlos:
I can't get a 928 to use in the US, but from everything I have seen that is the far better device of the two. I had a 568 which was the best PPC I've ever used. The 928 is pretty much a 568 with a phone added.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] jeanlucve:
on ebay

you can find it on ebay. They are still selling it.

Any idea about the dutch XDA and the other questions I posted?

Do you know anything about a "manipulator" for the hp 928?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] anon:
anon

xda - it has it's niggles, but at least it flippin' works!

The end user support from O2 ain't all that bad, either. Yes yes yes, I know what you're thinking, but actually they're pretty darn good.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] jeanlucve:
pratically!

Yes, but have somebody here tried the hp 928? Have somebody tried to unlock it or to upgrade it?

And again, is it simple (or at least possible) to upgrade to an english language a O2 XDA bought from Germany?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Zviratko:
Language can be changed...

I have never heard of 928 (?), maybe they never sold it here, but I would choose XDA definitely... What if you break your display? What if something corrodes? Something breaks? Nobody will be able to repair it, no warranties, no spare parts :)

I just got this new SG3 and was using Rootbox on my last one which I really liked. I noticed they use TWRP in their update options so I figured I would try with this new g3. First time trying TWRP downloaded the latest from their blog openrecovery-twrp-2.4.3.0-d2att.tar. I really like the looks & feel but am having nothing but trouble with flashing roms. Can some one tell me why I should not go back to CWM?

Its probably me but I just couldn't get it to work. I tried to flash from goomanager the right rom & gapps and I also tried from recovery. I didn't think it worked, I didn't see any confirmation of install, so I got scared and restored.

I have since done it with CWM and am ok. Thanks for the response anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colhavoc:
How did you end up flashing CWM back over TWRP? I too am having issue and would like to flash back CWM, but can't find a way how to. No flashable .tar file as far as I can find, and ROM manager doesn't list me the option to flash CWM.

Oooh what is that? A shiny ZIP?!?!? I MUST FLASH :D:D

.. lol, I get in the habit of flashing nightlies even though its 1 day after and it happens to be 2-3 lines of changed code. Whatever, no big deal! I must flash :p

Personally for me, I don't like ROM/Kernels or apps that don't get updated frequently. It bothers me and makes me think that the dev is lazy. Always on the go
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] maddoggin:
That's pretty harsh don't you think? There's Roms made by teams that have many people working on same code while others may work alone and not have the time to build a ROM everyday. Not to mention they do this for free in their own spare time. And really post their work to share with others. Not to make others happy. But hey every one has their opinion I guess. Some people feel the devs are here only for them and feel the Dev must build to make them happy.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Not harsh at all. Its my own personal opinion because I LIKE to flash ROMs. I have ADHD when it comes to ROMs, I always want something new. I dont care if its the same ROM relabeled with a new date, I'll take it. Franco, one of the most popular kernel devs for the N4 pushes out updates to his kernel every other day while maintaining a full-time job. Its doable, I'm not saying every dev needs to follow his footsteps by any means. I just like flashing stuff.

Yes there are roms made by teams such as CM, AOKP, whatever it may be. All of those ROMs are open sourced and OTHER people kang their ROMs to release a unofficial nightly such as fitsnugly' jellybro and unofficial AOKP releases that are being pushed out on a day-to-day basis.

So no, I'm not being harsh at all. If no one tests the "unofficial nightlies" and tell the devs "hey man there are bugs in here, here and here" with logs. Then that would be a problem and would make it harder for them to release a stable build leading to a LONGER release of a stable release for users who dont want to flash something everyday.

My concept of 'lazy devs' still applies. Would you want to buy a app that hasn't been updated for months and months when there is another competing app that does the same thing that updates frequently? A such example is the famous, Falcon Pro twitter client. Why buy something else when this guy updates his apps all the time? It just means he is commited and really cares about his app.

Same thing when it comes to buying a phone. Do you want a phone by Samsung, LG, Motorola where the manufacturer takes AGES to update their phone? Heck no, that's why we got Nexus devices, so we get updates DIRECTLY from Google themselves. Is that being harsh to Samsung/Motorola/LG? No.

Thanks man!

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] maddoggin:
Everyone has their opinion! Just think calling a dev lazy cause he didn't push updates every day so you can satisfy your ocd is retarded. And that's my opinion. There's a difference in pushing updates to improve something and pushing updates every day to satisfy people with ocd. But hey if that's how you feel good for you bud.

By the way you said you think devs that don't update their Roms or apps FREQUENTLY are lazy. Not months and months. So IDF course I'm not going to be happy with an app that hasn't been updated in months and months. But that's not what you said at first.

Just FYI nightly's are not for people to post bugs. They're exactly for people like you who like to flash every day. That's why you can not post about bugs using a nightly
