Hi everyone,

I have been using Albinoman's 4.2.2 ROM (CyanogenMod), but there are two fundamental issues which are making me consider switching:

- Maps/Navigation does not work properly and the screen gets corrupted in some cases

- camera crashes occasionally when flash is enabled

Since this ROM too is JB-based (although 4.1.2), I would like to ask if any of these issues exist or not.

Yes, I did read the "Bugs" in the first post(s) and no, they're not there, but then again, neither are in Albinoman's thread. The Maps/Navigation issue, strictly speaking, is an app bug, but it doesn't occur on stock rom.

I did not read the 620+ pages of this thread, I admit it. I went back a little bit and did not see any issue that is common to everyone: can someone confirm?

In other words: I am a fairly heavy phone user. I need Bluetooth, GSP navigation, camera/video ... I would like to consider a ROM where these work flawlessly (no, I don't care for HDR so the bug reported is not an issue for me). SHould I try this out?

Thanks in advance.

just to know , why is the min frequency the same like the max !?

Hi guys!

I have a problem with stock browser on Vipers 3.1.2. When I try to google via adress bar then instead of google search results appears google homepage, through which I can search normally. Fixed permissions, zipaligned, cleared browser cache, even made a clean reflash of the ROM. Still have this problem. When i choose bing or yahoo search everything is fine.

Just thought, maybe this happens because I remove google now in aroma?
[HTC Sensation] Darkjesus:
This happend to me when the browser was in Incognito mode.

Hello , I want to ask why I flashed this ROM and my phone don't have vibration anymore...

Anybody have same problem?
[HTC Sensation] Nick N:
Just wanted to say thanks for this ROM, haven't run sense since the Evo. My bro let me borrow this phone, he has a N4 now. I switched to TMO in July, bought a lumia 521 (Windows 8 phone) and even used the G1 (Dream) for a week to get my ROM flashing fix.
[HTC Sensation] winning0308:
I get no problem with Google Maps v7.1.0 (no glitches), about Bluetooth, GPS, camera and memory, all are working fine with me, you should try this awesome ROM and you wont disappointed ;)

UI Sense problem

Hi i recently installed this romand i like it. Wanted to ask 2 things.

1) I opened a youtube video through chrome and when youtube app opened i saw a few secs of the video and the device died on me. The screen gradually turned off.

2) Im on go launcher,i uninstalled apex and when i press home screen with defaults cleared it only gives me go launcher as ui Sense 4+ aint there.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] Karam.:
I don't use maps

but the camera does crash causing restart , sometimes
[HTC Sensation] primekrieger:
No, the min. freq. is 594 Mhz and Max is 1512 Mhz, which apparently are not same :D

Venom Tweaks "sometimes show" Min freq.=1512 Mhz, which is a bug I think, though it doesnt actually change your min. freq.

Go to Venom Tweaks again and check for yourself.
[HTC Sensation] Bornin:
Never experienced this. You probably need a new battery like most of us. Get an anker :good:
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Hi

I don't have great issues with this ROM; though, as regards of camera affairs, there's a little bit of color problems on plain light backgrounds, like a plastered wall, the sky, et cetera, as it is somehow reddish/purplish I think. But I can for example capture panorama and record 1080p video.

Regarding navigation stuff, I ain't into these things; nor have I encountered issues of this sort; it shouldn't have any.

If you want a completely flawless ROM, I recommend Sense 3.6 based ones.

Hi there, nope, never have I got this. Try a fresh install.

Asphalt 8

Has anybody played Asphalt 8 with this?

I can only play when Turbo Boost Swap is enabled. Even then Tokyo takes forever to load, though other tracks/maps seem to work fine.

I play on lowest settings.

Any solution to Tokyo loading problem? :confused:

2) Installing another launcher disables the Sense launcher and other Sense stuff.

[HTC Sensation] Jaglicic:
Probably yes, but it needs only 5min to do it...
[HTC Sensation] xrallyx:
I'm asking it because 2 times on 3 i tried installing it i had to reflesh the rom, don't know why.. maybe i'm looking fo the apk eheh

Thanks :)

Not evenclise,in my previous Rom I could choose sense,go launcher or apex.in this Rom has only the apex which I uninstalled.just wanna use sense but it doesn't give me option to make it default
[HTC Sensation] winning0308:
Try to go to Settings/Apps/All and navigate to Apex Launcher/Go Launcher and choose Clear defaults, then tap the Home key to see if it let you to choose Sense Launcher
[HTC Sensation] bodii_91:
did you tick the desense option while flashing? if yes reflash the rom and dont press on desense
[HTC Sensation] lithium_242:
THANKS !!

I found a ROM here that is really fast, smooth, and excellent battery life

With ALL the other JB ROMs I tried (and I think I tried all of them) I can't answer calls when my phone was locked or not.

I tried ROMs, RADIOs, answer apps, moving my finger slowly to the green circle, everything...but I could only answer 10% of incoming calls.

THANKS again for this incredible ROM Team VENOM !!!! :good::good:

Signal Issues

Hello All:

Since I loaded 3.1.2 I'm noticing that when I am holding the phone and trying to send an SMS, now & then my signal cuts out entirely with -113 dBm/0 asu.

I never had this issue before with the previous release, nor on any other Viper ROM ever [I graduated here from ViperS 1.6.3 ICS], as a matter of fact, after I flashed Radio 3.33 some 6+ months ago, I have full signal strength almost everywhere I am in Los Angeles including inside my house.

Is there a RIL I need to install or does the one that comes with the ROM the only one that works?

FYI: I am using HTC-RIL_4.0.0063HMQ currently....

Does anyone have any input?
[HTC Sensation] winning0308:
I dont get this problem, it seems relate to the radio/ril issue, I'm using Radio 11.76C.3504.00P_11.29A.3504.18_M with HTC-RIL_4.0.0037HMQ and everything working fine, maybe you should try to change other RIL to solve that problem ;)

[HTC Sensation] redoano:
Don't know if it's reported before. I've been using this rom without any major problems since it was released. Yesterday i flashed stickman89's miui rom just to give a try. Then i flashed this rom (3.1.2) back in one hour but my screen is extremely laggy. Phone works well, but touch sensitiveness is too bad, which makes the phone laggy when using. I tried reflashing, fixing permissions, checking cpu settings, clearing dalvik etc. No changes at all. Now i'm going for another rom just to check if it will be the same
[HTC Sensation] Rita Muster:
+1!!!!!!!!!

Same here. Typing with Swift or any other keyboard is horrible.

Is it possible to increase reaction or sensitivity in Build.prop?

[MENTION=1032237]redoano[/MENTION]

Do you restore the rom in Recovery or complet reinstall it? I restore it and have now the same Problems.
[HTC Sensation] winning0308:
That so weird! I have flashed the MIUI rom and after go back to ViperS JB I didnt get the issue with touch like that. But there is a topic discuss about touch problem on JB here you can try the solution in this topic, it may help
[HTC Sensation] all-in:
I did and I think that's the answer.thank u all for your answers though.I let u know.
[HTC Sensation] redoano:
I tried both many times. It was ok a while ago (i did nothing, it just got fixed itself) but after changing density and restarting the phone it became laggy again.

Edit:after writing this message, lag disappeared again. That's very strange and annoying.

Btw I tried the screen problems fix methods in general section with no success
[HTC Sensation] hanisod:
I flashed it using 4ext recovery control

Would that make any difference?

And oh I wanna apologize about my last post

I've forgot that I multitask a lot -_-

After a couple of tweaks... Phone is working fine

Even Facebook now works :p

My bad :(

Much appreciated team venom

Sense 5 release will be amazing improvement for our sensation!

Keep it up

I wish I could have something to give in return :D

Don't forget that there's a lot of users who really appreciate your work!

[HTC Sensation] Ludak021:
I haven't updated ViperS ROM for a long time. I tried some versions after 1.6.3 but honestly, they were....(in my opinion) worse than 1.6.3 in terms of performance and bugs.

My question is: can someone honestly tell me if JB version of ViperS is any better than ICS version? I am a casual user, I like my battery life at 2 days+ I don't have performanse issues with 1.6.3 and sultan kernel (1.5GHz) and I use my phone for...phone-ish stuff, like sms, mms, calling people etc (not using social networking at all, using browser while on toilet to read news ). Is JB version more stable, smooth or faster in any regard? What are, so called "upsides" to JB version over ICS on Sense (Viper) ROM?

I am not trying to be offensive or anything, I am just wondering if there are any improvements besides the notification area capabilities?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Beast Power:
ViperS JB 3.1.2 is much better, I have better battery life, it is smooth and very responsive and just all round better, after 2 hours on the phone and about 3 hours screen time I will still have about 45% battery life left.

[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
True story :D
[HTC Sensation] Ludak021:
No, I have around 1 hour 30 mins screen time on that. I just don't use sebastianFM kernel, I use Sultan kernel with undervolting, 1.5ghz, greenify app to shut down everything redundant while phone is in sleep mode etc. I enable wi-fi only when I need it (which is not during sleep) and that's about it. Same apps, same behavior but SebastianFM kernel = barley 2 days, if at all. It's a good kernel but it's kinda wasteful battery wise. Tbh, Bricked is the worst kernel of them all.

PS. yea, I get the joke :) I just wanted to reply honestly so there is no confusion about how I use my phone. I would add that I don't have a single game on my phone. I play my games on my PC and consoles :eek: Helps battery life immensely :P
[HTC Sensation] sonnhy:
There's no other choice of kernel on vipers other than Sebastianfm D:

Does some one has wierd glitches/freeze with the latest youtube?

For example the statusbar change position and get around in the screen, or everything freeze when scrolling videos..

Inviato dal mio HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Try disabling HW overlays in Advanced Developer option in Settings to see if helps.

It's how the developers design the apps, nothing to do with ROM. As topjohnwu said you can move them with Titanium backup but some may not act properly due from this, I think the ones you mentioned will be fine though. Also if there are updates for apps that come with ROM ie. in system, you can use Titanium backup to integrate the updates back into system too.

Because no one else if they even have the skills/knowledge to do so has been bothered to spend there time on doing so, we are lucky we have Seb. If we didn't, Sense development would of came to a halt on 4.0.4

HTC-RIL 4.0.0037HMQ killed the GSM engine all together.

Hopefully I can find a resolution......
[HTC Sensation] Iceberger:
The clue is: HTC-RIL 4.0.0037HMQ is from an ICS ROM > Vipers 1.6.3

HTC-RIL 4.0.0063HMQ is from a JB ROM > ViperS 3.x.x

It's not a good idea to use an ICS RIL on a JB ROM and the other way around.
[HTC Sensation] yankeeDDL:
With Albinoman's 4.2.2 there is the same myth: camera is not broken, it's a battery issue.

I have a brand new brand new battery and while I see an improvement over my previous (2 years old) battery, the issue is not totally gone. It's annoying, more than a real issue, but it is there, and it has never been there with my stock rom. Ever. Even with my old battery.

My very humble opinion is that 4.2.2's rom there is some concurrency that causes massive current peak (my problems occur only when flash kicks in) which the phone cannot handle. It may be so marginal that some phones don't have any issue while other do crash, giving the impression that not a rom issue, but I am convinced it is.

In 4.2.2 Maps/Navigation is also broken. It must be a combination of some app features+ROM: I suspect that Maps heavily relies on HW acceleration and some kernel features that have been modified (at least in Albinoman's 4.2.2) and cause it to crap out in some specific case. Again, not a disaster, but definitely annoying.

I really don't like Sense 3.6. Never tried 4.* but I don't have my hopes up. And I really enjoyed some of JB's features over ICS, which is why I was hoping to find a 100% working JB rom.

4.2.2 is really nice aside (althought that's subjective) for those two issues, and it's clean and efficient (and this is objective). Just not "perfect". I was hoping this one was but .. pity. I'm sure it's the best for somebody: I might give it a try but I am not sure I want to spend the effort of a full wipe and re-install 170+ apps to go with a rom that has similar issues ...

Anyway, thanks for the help and suggestions.
[HTC Sensation] Rhishabm:
Sorry for asking this but

If someone doesn't mind.. Could anyone tell me what the full ROM (fixed) fixes ?

I don't have a laptop nearby and using the search functionality on the tapatalk app is useless..Force closes for me
[HTC Sensation] Darkjesus:
The (fixed) means its a version with fixed APM menu. There was an issue for some people, that the phone simply rebooted instead of showing APM.
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
Hey iceberger, thanks for the information, I did not know that the RIL had that much to do with the version of Android and there were separate ones for ICS or JB....!

---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 AM ----------

A TMOUS engineer told me that RIL's have to do with TMOUS's coverage areas in conjunction with the towers...I think he was making it up!
[HTC Sensation] Insecret:
Radio Interface Layer = RIL so, is about radio chip, it is't about only of one network...
[HTC Sensation] PandaKiller:
Because of the power management problems in Sensation, today I decided to put hands on the issue.

Adding a 22uF capacitor between vbat and GND, my phone stops shutdowns while using camera with low battery. I still get shutdown using flash with 10% battery, but this will prevent most of shutdowns.

** Be careful! **

I have many years of experience soldering. Even with that experience, the firs time I made a short circuit at the bottom circuit shield. It seems easy but what you see is a very small gap between baterry connecter and the shield.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Maybe you could try a bigger capacitor...
[HTC Sensation] PandaKiller:
I would like if I had space. The 100uF capacitor didn't fit the gap.

I found a vbat test point under the SD card flat cable. Maybe in the future I will use it to add a extra capacitor, but I think it didn't help because the main voltage drops may occur after the DCDC converter / LDO. If someone find some datasheets, I could add a extra capacitor after the power converter.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Why don't you first determine the right capacitor? In a first phase you could make best tests working with 2 wires soldered to the board, and then try the best location. Wires could also be a solution to move the capacitor in a larger place.

Edit: actually I would use only wires, both for soldering ease and to put the capacitor in the most comfortable place.
[HTC Sensation] PandaKiller:
Post Updated.

I could do that, but since I am using resources from my job, I have to wait for a less busy day.

[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Just install it like a normal app, then goto Sound Enhancer app and turn off Low power audio instead of editing build.prop, then goto ViPER4Andriod app and when it prompts you to install driver choose the A8 one and then reboot your phone, it should work fine. Works great here, you need to enable V4A in the app too after rebooting and set your sound preferences. In the menu select Driver status while V4A is enabled and playing music it should say yes to Neon enabled, enabled and processing, also you should be able to hear the difference. FX compatible mode should be on Normal with this ROM and all other built-in presets such as Beats, X-Loud, EQ etc should work along side it too in Normal mode.
