Re: [ROM][JB][Sense 4+][01.04] Team Venom presents: ViperS 3.0.0 - always one step ah

Bugs I found::

1) Beats Audio Missing :(

EDIT : Sometimes Audio also don't work...

2) Short press/Long press Search conflict...

How you reproduce it ?

Ans-

- Go to Tweaks/Buttons

- Select Short press Search and select it as "Recent apps"

- Now go to long press search and set Custom widget and select it as a Music app

- Now check will they work properly ?

If Yes, Restart the device and check it again...Not working anymore...

They exchange their values...BUG

3) Doubt on Google Now...I have 2G network, so please someone check it..I think there is an issue with voice...

Finger crossed..

google now has a bug,sometimes work and sometimes just stuck with initialising
[HTC Sensation] murtazasamiwala:
Hello,

I have had shutdowns with this phone very frequently when the battery level is below 60%(with all roms, including stock). After I restart the phone the battery level reads something completely different.

Most of the times, this happens when I am outside and am unable to take a last_kmsg

This time I was close to my computer, so after my phone shut down (again battery below 60) I restarted it and connected to computer via USB....then

adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > kmsg.txt

I get a file called kmsg.txt on my desktop but i get

/system/bin/sh: cat: /proc/last_kmsg: No such file or directory

So can someone help me with taking a kernel log....also am I supposed to the log after the phone has fully started up or while it is in splash screen.

Thanks very much.

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

Ok so I navigated to proc folder via ES file explorer and found that there is no last_kmsg file but a kmsg file..

so I changed the adb command to

adb shell cat /proc/kmsg > kmsg.txt

and got a kmsg.txt file on desktop..

It is attached...is it correct...i took it after the phone had been connected to USB for about 5 minutes....after the random shutdown.

Thank you
[HTC Sensation] Satano666:
I had exact this Problem on my sensa AS well. Random reboots and totally weird battary stats. On every Rom Just a little Piece of paper between my battery and the outer housing solved this. Just as big AS the battery. And maybe fold it.

[HTC Sensation] murtazasamiwala:
I know buddy, Ive tried the paper trick....seems to solve it a little....but still have the shutdowns every now and then...

and when the shutdowns do start occurring, the phone keeps shutting down till i put it for charging/...do you experience this too??

BTW i have paper in the battery housing right now too.

thanx
[HTC Sensation] Satano666:
Yeah i had exact same Problem.. Phone shutsdown. And it wont reboot properly until i plug the charger in. Maybe the Pins for the battery are a bit loose. Try to bow them a bit up so the battery fits better. Or maybe more paper:D

these Tricks fixed it completly for me.. Dont have problems With random shutdowns anymore

There is alot of Battery Drain with this Rom

i Lost abt 18% of battery life in about 13 minutes with Screen on

Thank You!

I knew if I was patient you guys would come through!

This ROM has always had reboot problems for me - got slightly better with 3.1.1 - but now it's brilliant! It's really smooth and stable. I think HTC are crazy not keeping their customers happy - the Sensation runs JB just fine. We're lucky you guys have done their work for them!

Very much looking fwd to Sense 5 on my Sensation :good:

[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Can you reproduce this all the time?
[HTC Sensation] Bornin:
No such issue. Phone stays snappy as allways. you used any mod like triple swap or so?

I tried triple swap but it just slowed down my device.

[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Actually i did notice this random lag, so i can confirm it, it happens to my sister randomly..sometimes she uses phone for weeks and doesnt happen, but than suddenly on Rosie starts to lag, nothing else lags tho, and there's absolutely nothing in logs..

Will probable need to rebuild Rosie from scratch..
[HTC Sensation] walle4893:
I replaced HTC sense with Nova launcher since sense is a huge ram-eater and my phone runs pretty fast. I think that's the solution to be considered in the long run until the devs find a way to rebuild rosie and such
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
There will be never "solution" to this, sense is what it is, and needs ram as much ram as it needs..

The rosie lags im talking are very random memory leaks which makes only home scrolling ultra laggy, while phone continues to be smooth and happens very random only for some ppl..
[HTC Sensation] Bornin:
Oké, maybe I'm not doing any things to make it lag, anyway I can use worldclock without any problems
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
The only thing I can say, there is no lag on Revelation, so it must be smth in the tweaks
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Yup, and we will fix it :p
[HTC Sensation] Uchiha_GT:
Just updated through the recovery and I must say the rom works brilliantly. However I wonder, is it advisable to turn on KSM because it is off by default.
[HTC Sensation] vlaf:
Rom is reuploaded and fixed boys :D.
[HTC Sensation] winning0308:
Go to Venom Tweak\CPU then tap on the KSM and choose Run
[HTC Sensation] walle4893:
How about the problem with slows scrolling as everyone has been saying? Do you think that is rosie related issue and could be fixed?
[HTC Sensation] tichyline:
After inspiration Rom with Revelation and Vipers sensation is like a new phone, no lags and its working perfect for me! Only with latest update there are little lags at scrolling with and without ksm. Hope sense5 UI will solve all lags...
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
We will see with new and rebuilt Rosie...

[MENTION=1792279]ivicask[/MENTION]: Could you pls also fix the problem with define the long press key on Venom Tweak for SidePanel shortcut? I really like the SidePanel function :)
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Can u please describe in detail whats wrong, and ill pass it to Monarx so he fixes it.
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
Me too had this lag, and I'm on revelation, scrolling was ultra laggy, but this happened just once few days ago.. I restarted phone and everything was fine again...
[HTC Sensation] Bornin:
If u set for example longpress menu to open sidepanel it opens and closes again. think that's what he means.

Don't know how it was on previous build. never used this function but it's very nice
[HTC Sensation] winning0308:
I set the longpress Menu key for Side Panel application on Venom Tweak, but when I do longpress Menu key, the SidePanel just appear and then disappear instantly
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
If it also happens on Revelation than its not tweaks bug...and rebuilding wont fix it..u sure we are talking about same thing?
[HTC Sensation] pera987:
yap, i unlocked phone, and scrolling to right and left was very very choppy, again, after reboot everithing was fine, its not a big deal for me..

p.s. i have installed HEQS by pacha, maybe it has something to do with that mod.. everything else is stock, 1,18ghz, no overclocking anything
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
I've been using Revelation since it came out and never had any Rosie lag. Maybe he installed some mods like eqs, apm?
[HTC Sensation] winning0308:
Tnx, this is exactly what I mean. This problem was mention by some users in 3.1.1 and absolutely I think Venom Team will fix it easily :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] Crums:
Hi guys !

I've been using the Venom roms for a while now.

I am using Next Launcher as home replacement

I have a little issue since I went to JB rom

I can't get lockscreen to work for a long time.

I installed 3.1.1 and everything was fine for a few days then lockscreen stopped working randomly. When I shutdown and relight the screen sometimes lockscreen appears, sometimes I am directly on the home screen.

I did a fresh install, same thing happened, and so is it with 3.1.2....

I also tried the fix that was posted earlier to keep lockscreen in memory but with no luck...

If someone has an idea I will take it!

Thank you in advance for any help
[HTC Sensation] jojo-g:
I had the same reboot problems and came to the conclusion that this is a matter of the used battery. I tried different and when they are new everything is fine. But after several months the mess starts again. Only original HTC batteries with lower capacities don't show that problem. They can be drained to 1 % and the phone is still alive. So by now I use an EVO battery which has slightly more power than the original one. No more random reboots since several days ...
[HTC Sensation] xlx890121:
Seems it's due to Alarms.

After open the alarms, rosie gets lags.

reboot can fix that.
[HTC Sensation] Satano666:
I had the evo 3d battery as well. And AS u said, a New battery fixed our Problem only a few months. So after that i bought the Anker 1900 battery and it worked fine only a few months. So i decided to try the paper and Pins trick. And now my phone goes With every battery, 2yo original sensa, evo 3d and Anker , to 1 % without reboots..

My point is i dont Think its because the battery is broken, because now my phone works with every battery perfectly fine

When lags in some heavy game the status bar and the game duplicated and sometime flipped

This issue encountered in newest revelation and vipers 3.1.2 so i think this is kernel issue.

As sebastian said this is GPU issue when LMK still cant freed some ram

The rosie is indeed smooth after exiting the game and its weird that rosie didnt killed, it suppose to be killed when threshold reach. Or different in sense rom?

It's not annoying, of course, just wanted you to know.

Setting, sound, dial pad touch tones

i am facing that too

but it works if you set it in shortpress search button

by the way i haven't test it in 3.1.2(the longpress menu button)

It doens't work with search either. I noticed if you set sidebar on longpress wit one of the keys the first time you press it it stays open but after that keeps closing again.

I'm trying to capture a log but now I can't reproduce it anymore

Edit: it seems like it works one time after reboot and then fails again, maybe someone else could varify??

Hope this logcat shows something. http://paste2.org/YwxZjO4I

i don't know mate:(

for me it works with shortpress search button
[HTC Sensation] Bornin:
Can you try to see if it works one time after reboot? mine did.

Would be nice to have it fixed cause this is by far the nicest way to open the sidebar.

When I was installed full rom 3.1.1, I check to remove app "Google TTS". Late I made OTA to 3.1.2. And now I want to install back TTS. What can I do?

1. Just reflash full rom 3.1.2 without wipe and while reflashing choose to install "TTS"?

2. Or reflash full 3.1.1, while reflashing choose to install "TTS", then again OTA to 3.1.2?

Edit: May be simple extract some files from ROM zip and place in some folders...?
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
If my post that I replied to you earlier was not successful for you or unable to access device manager on work PC for example, you could always at least boot into recovery to access your sd card on PC :) You could also do it via WiFi too using an app called AirDroid, should work in most PC browsers.
[HTC Sensation] pifa_k1:
I know that but i dont want for every new song I download and want to transfer to reboot the phone or to search for wireless network ... It is like to use com port to transfer files to USB flash drive ... ;]
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
No, services.jar was not modified, it's default system behavior to not kill Sense, even on low memory condition.

LMK has callback (lowmem_shrink) which is called by kernel when free memory is low. Every process has it's own oom_score_adj, adjusted by system, between -1000 to 1000. Even if you'll change Sense oom_score_adj, it will be overwritten later by system, e. g. when you'll launch any app and Sense will go to background.

https://github.com/SebastianFM/Seba...c1c/drivers/staging/android/lowmemorykiller.c
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Yeah I found this happens, they get reset almost straight away and I can't edit the oom_score either what so ever. What is responsible in system that resets this and holds those values? Thanks

Edit: Thanks for linking, just seen it. The information told is good, lot easier than trying to work it out myself, I haven't been on github before :)
[HTC Sensation] jojo-g:
can't make a photo of my phone with my phone ;).

But I'll do my best. Later. But anyway, I very recently applied the paper, so no long time experience at the moment. In some days we will know more.

anyways.. since my Phone is on "dutch" language setting i want to inform the venom team that when you hold the power button and get the "power menu" this menu is for 10% english! it needs translations ?

it needs translations for:

Good, thank You very much!
[HTC Sensation] jojo-g:
Quote from few pages back. Hope this helps. I put a double post-it of exactly the size of the battery on the back of my anker bat (between battery an cover). At least it doesn't harm my phone til now....
[HTC Sensation] Trakkiggio:
Why shoud i push the battery better to the pins with a small paper 's piece? What are your improovements? Better battery life? Lower temperature?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yeap mate

after reboot i can open it and close it whenever i want

by the way i have noticed something else

in venom tweaks i have set 3072 as read ahead and performance as cpu gorvernor

i have tick also the boot option

but after booting and rebooting the device those two settings doesn't survive

not a big deal but just curious

in 3.1.1 i didn't have that problem

any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] Sprint82:
Simply more power :D
[HTC Sensation] Trakkiggio:
What exactly do you mean with "more power"? You know, electronic is a precise science. Could you quantify in % how much longer life gained your battery? 10% more? 15% more? 20% more?
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
There's rather simple way to test if your battery pins are connected to battery properly..

Shake your device up and down and see if phone reboots, or shuts down :)
[HTC Sensation] StZ's:
Simply better contact, as the pins are straining harder to the battery. So when the phone gets higher forces (for example you drop it on the desk, but don't do it :) ), it won't lose contact. Plus as time goes on (after a year or two), at the contact point there will be some oxide, so at lower battery levels it's easier to put the power through it, as the pins touch the battery on a little different point with a little different surface on the pins too. Sorry for my not so good english... :)
[HTC Sensation] Trakkiggio:
i thought you gained also longer battery life.. no anyway, never happened :D shake test is passed, but not only, also brute test lauch to the ground (happened hundred times) never did turn off the phone (also no scratches until now)... this phone looks like a panzer!

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Thanks :D no problems anyway... could I ask you % of sense 5.0 Rom for Sensation status? 95%? 99%?
[HTC Sensation] StZ's:
No, it just helps preventing random reboots and maybe (!) reboots at low battery, when taking a picture with flash with such an old 1000+ cycle battery as mine.
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Even if phones doesn't reboot, even if you putted paper, you may still have bad contact, if there's dirt or oxidation on pins, this may resolute in higher resistance between contacts and even limiting power or voltage that phone receives from battery.

Some cleaning of contacts using alcohol for both battery and phone wouldn't hurt to try for those who have this random shutdowns...
[HTC Sensation] commencal661:
And it should be the industrial one (96% one is the best) or you can do damage to the phone :)
[HTC Sensation] StZ's:
exactly :)

I have the same problem with plant vs zombies. The image is duplicated and the game crashes (no problems with version 3.1.1). I've read Sebastian response but I did not understand much :o, only I know that there is not enough memory. Is there any solution for this? Plants vs zombies is the only game I play on the phone.:crying: Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
It may be due new gpu drivers...can u get some kernel logs when crash happens.
[HTC Sensation] Trakkiggio:
Totally agree.. that are basic concepts in using electronic equipments... now waiting for the sencond answer about sense 5 work status in % if you wish :D
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
This is similiar to the problem I have while watching video and with flipboard. I think it's a gpu problem. The image is duplicated and it freezes, very strange. I think these problems started with revelation 1.02, but I may be wrong
[HTC Sensation] jojo-g:
I tried this already with no success. The contacts are clean, no grease, no oxid on both sides. But although there are small springs in the contacts it is a good idea to rise the contact force. It is also possible that the battery has some mircometers space in the housing and therefore moves around resulting in lower pressure und higher resistance. The higher resistance might result in lower voltages when the phone starts working (high current) so that the phone crashes. But I'm not able to make measurements. So this is just theory.
