[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Those are the official specs from Broadcom, the company that made the chip. The Sensation uses the BCM4329 chip, so I think it's safe to assume Broadcom is correct on this one :p
[HTC Sensation] saldymhmd:
I can't find option to unmount sdcard anymore? Is that a CM changes?
[HTC Sensation] martix90:
I've just looked at my original package of the Sensation (old one, not XE):

Either Broadcom is wrong or we have a different chip in our sensations :P
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Broadcom isn't wrong; it's more likely that HTC lied. I don't know of any Broadcom chip that uses Bluetooth 3.0. The Sensation *does* use the BCM4329 chip: https://github.com/sultanxda/sultan...0/arch/arm/mach-msm/board-pyramid-wifi.c#L101

Another HTC device that uses the BCM4329 chip is the HTC Desire Z, A.K.A. the Vision: https://github.com/mdeejay/msm7x30-ics/blob/master/arch/arm/mach-msm/board-vision-wifi.c#L103

I took a quick look at the Desire Z's specs on gsmarena and lo' and behold, it has Bluetooth 2.1: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_z-3421.php

Broadcom makes the firmware for our chip, not HTC ;) I don't know much about Bluetooth revisions and whether or not they can be achieved via a firmware upgrade (or if they're actually hardware-related), so there is a chance that HTC wasn't lying.

UPDATE: The Nexus 7 2012 which also uses BCM4329 is advertised as having Bluetooth 3.0...
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Or maybe 3.0 specs can be achieved via software over a hw 2.1.
[HTC Sensation] martix90:
It is hardware related. But the pebble smart watch showed that the firmware of the radio has influence. First it was said that the pebble supports ble. But the built in chip doesn't support it. Then pebble said it will be there after a firmware update (see ifixit, I'm on mobile. Can't search the link).

Honestly I doubt that htc lies. They would have risked getting sued. Maybe our radio has a special firmware which turns on 3.0 support?

Anyway, thanks for your research :)

[MENTION=237269]sultan[/MENTION]: Is the current kernel 1.5.2C compatible with the 25 Mar build? I'd like to test if my issues are ROM or kernel related and as 25 Mar build was rock stable for me it would be a good testing ground.

[HTC Sensation] fbf2201:
BLE came with Bluetooth 4.0, so it's not working anyway - neither with 2.1 nor 3.0.
[HTC Sensation] martix90:
I talked about BLE in the Pebble smartwatch ;)
[HTC Sensation] fbf2201:
Ok, I thought you mean Pebble working together with Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
It is not compatible.

Is 3rd may stable now? Like 25th March?

I am on 1st may, but still system ui fc and soft reboots continued.. :(

Sorry could not wait to read all posts.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
It is as stable as it's going to be for now. The SystemUI FC issue is a CM issue and it is officially still "Open". That means they are still working on it.

However, Sultan incorporated a fix that seems to help immensely. I, myself, have not had the issue I was having on ALL CM11 ROMs with this latest build. I can't say that my phone will never have that issue again, only because, if it were truly fixed, CM would've merged a permanent fix.

If you do give this a try, you can try to dirty flash but my personal recommendation would be to take the time to do a clean flash. From what I've been reading on the thread, as well as my personal experience, a clean flash seems to clear up many problems.

Noise

II have the other party tell me they here beeping noise while talking to me and I have a hard time hearing even with speaker phone any ideals. Thank you in advance keep up the Great work.
[HTC Sensation] catch_doon:
I had put forth the ROM crashing issue a couple of days earlier but that was not attended well, I therefore am sending you a pic I clicked from my friend's mobile so that you all can see the problem.

The crash had become very frequent -about 6-7 times in a day and after that the error on self boot: "process.android.media" has stopped working.

It's getting very irritating as nothing works and I've to manually hard reboot.

Please find the snapshots/clicks below of my phone's config and the error shown.

[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
See if this kernel is more stable for you...
[HTC Sensation] catch_doon:
Thanks a lot! Would u recommend a dirty kernel flash? Cuz else I'd have to flash the ROM & Kernel both!

I anyways just performed a Dirty Flash! I'll keep u posted about the performance and issues faced, if any!

[HTC Sensation] real_sl4cker:
I already provided detailed description with logs in a previous post, it even occurs with the 1.5.2C kernel :(

[HTC Sensation] neonoafs:
Well looks like the build of 25th March is the most stable. I'll keep this one until these little problems with CM Upstreams be fixed.
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
I am using the newest build with kernel 1.5.2C and have no issues. This ROM is very smooth and the battery life is great with max frequency of 1.2ghz. Extra RAM gotten from memory remap is very much welcome and there are no issues with it so far. I can take pictures, record video, call, browse Chrome Beta, and listen to music via PowerAmp with no issues at all. Great multitasking ROM.

Great work Sultan!
[HTC Sensation] Ave_CoVeR:
Extra RAM gotten from memory remap <<<< what does it means? how can i do it?
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
It comes with Sultan's kernel which is included in ROM, or you can flash a separate kernel that is newer. :)
[HTC Sensation] JanSpatschek:
Clean install of latest build + 620MB Ram Kernel. I was listening to music, the screen went off (timeout) and when I tried to turn it back on, it didn't work. Just the Softkeys lighted up. The music kept playing. Tried waking it up for the next 5 min, no luck.

I feel that the cm ui bug happen only when you choose an external wallpaper.

I hadn't got any since i use a wallpaper bundled with the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
I don't see why a dirty flash would be a problem. I hope it helped.

I did notice that some other people who have had different issues went with a clean install and that seemed to clear up what was troubling them. I don't know if you dirty flashed the latest ROM but if you're still having trouble, you might want to consider that as a last ditch effort.

I decided to clean flash from the beginning and have yet to encounter any issues. I will admit, however, that I am far from a power user...
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
Same where. There are absolutely no issues with it so far. I always clean wipe my phone when I install new ROMs, and encourage others to do so. If you dirty flashed, this thread would be better if you didn't complain that you are having problems because there could be millions of factors leading to instability.
[HTC Sensation] JanSpatschek:
Exactly. That is the same problem I have. If I let it sit there for a few minutes it sometimes wakes up again.
[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] It would be great, if you could look into that problem. If you need any logs, tell me.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Try changing the minfreq of the CPU to 384MHz
[HTC Sensation] JanSpatschek:
Do I have to do that during Kernel installation, Performance settings or in the etc/initd. file?
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
Go to Settings, scroll all the way down. You should see Performance button. Then click on processor, and you can adjust Minimum CPU Frequency. By default it is set to 192Mhz. Make sure you tick "Set on Boot" so everytime you restart, your min frequency will be set automatically.
[HTC Sensation] real_sl4cker:
Can anybody else confirm this? I restored my backup of 25 Mar build yesterday because this CM bug made me go nuts.

Clean install stabile on May 3 build with minor things

Yesterday I performed a clean install - factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik - with the May 3 build and seems very stabile except the following items:

1. I had one isse with Gallery FC but after removing the .thumbnails directory from DCIM it worked fine.

2. Today I used Nike+ app for runnig and the GPS was very weak on the same track where the Viper 5.1.0 worked fine. Will test next week too and let you know.

3. With Nokia CK-600 Bluetooth car kit when I try to download the contacts the car kit reboots. This is the most annoying. Only happens with 4.4 ROM. With 4.3 and before it was fine.

4. Had one Google Play service stopped message but the service recovered without any issue.

Battery seems ok but need to wait some full cycles to get the proper picture.

Great work Sultan! Thank you for your efforts keeping us happy! :)

[HTC Sensation] Scorchgid:
Problems I'm currently facing

I figured I would add to the masses and while I know it's CM issue I would just state the problems I'm having

If my phone becomes too clogged up using to many resources it will force close all apps and return to the lock screen. This usually happens mostly with my browser or when I'm running a good few applications.

When I dial out my phone will scramble the sound so instead of a dialing tone I get a buzzing sound instead. When the receiver answers their voice is also scrambled. If I end the call and make another one it then becomes fine. But I've found half an hour later it does that again.

My phone will crash and soft reboot itself. It then will become in a loop crashing system process and system ui. So I have to restart it again.

Phone will also crash bluetooth occasionally when starting it and stopping it.

Anything I could change in the kernel settings to help solve these problems.
[HTC Sensation] r#ch:
with internal you mean a CM background? The whole time I'm using a CM background. I had this bug quite often, too.

But

in the last 3 days i did not get the cm ui bug :)
[HTC Sensation] mhca:
Regarding the buzzing sound, I found another place in this thread that it resolved it to enable Touch Sounds and Screen lock sound.

It worked on my girlfriends phone.

However, she is having a lot of instability, so I'll probably change her ROM to something else again.
[HTC Sensation] zzieluuu:
how about the battery life ? is better from this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524961 ?
[HTC Sensation] unixseb:
Yes i mean a cm background. Never had the ui bug with the purple mountain BG. It looks like i'm just lucky ;)

PS: also, i did not reactivated the cm user account but i doubt this is related to ui.
[HTC Sensation] Scorchgid:
Touch sounds are strangely enabled (I don't remember enabling them) but not working. Screen lock sound was not enabled.

Are you suggesting that I enable or disabled them?
[HTC Sensation] mhca:
I suggest to Enable both. Maybe first disable and then enable if it doesn't work at first.

I haven't experienced a lot with it, as it worked right away on my girlfriends phone. I know that I had manually disabled at least touch sound prior to finding the buzzing call issue.
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
After a clean instal i have a problem with galery: It shows always all folders with pictures in it, if i select only a few folders and press ok it shows again all folders. So how can i hide in galery some "private" folders? :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
Lol, you got a free thanks, I pressed wrong. Add an empty file named ".nomedia" in each folder you don't want scanned for audio, video or images eg.
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
Press Menu while in Gallery, then settings, then folders. Select folders you want to scan from.
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
That´s how i would expect it to work! In fact it does not, after selecting some folders and hit ok it shows again all folders with media.
[HTC Sensation] Ch3vr0n:
There is an app in the pay store called 'nomedia' by a use called 'Mr. Ck' that detects all folders with images and sounds on the device. Ark it takes then is to flip the switch next to the folder and the app creates a .nomedia file in the folder preventing display in image APS like gallery. It's a workaround but it does work.

I like this ROM, it`s fast and stable. I`ve tried it several times, but the only thing, that keeps me going back to sence is the conntacts and dialer aplication. Is there an aplication similar to HTC conntacts with facebook integration?
[HTC Sensation] scanferr:
Hi sultan!

I would like to report some bugs if that is ok :D

1st is that the system sometimes hangs and freezes. For example, I'm browsing on the Internet, or Tapatalk and everything just freezes and goes black except the status bar and after a while it goes to the lock screen.

2nd is some random reboots. I just had one and I'm posting the last_kmsg below. If you could take a look.

Here is the last_kmsg link:

[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION]: thank you very much for this rom. I just flashed the new rom a kernal. I will test how it works.

The new color calibration profile is too bluish. The old profile was a lot better in my opinion.

Sorry Sultanxda but now color temperature is much too cold (I'm used to work photos on calibrated screens).
[HTC Sensation] hardevg:
"*Improved display colors (colors are now much closer to true RGB)"

very pale and desaturated screen now:(
[HTC Sensation] kufciak:
Yes colors are blur..
[HTC Sensation] sanderg:
Improve screen colors

Screen colors can be fixed with Chainfire's cf.lumen app. You can assign different color profiles e.g. based on schedule. It can also use your location to set a sunset/night profile.

For those who know the f.lux app for Windows, OSX, Linux, IOS - this is similar but then for Android, and also useful in daylight :)

[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] is it possible to use your memory map on 3.4 kernel? That amount of ram with the 3.4 kernel would be awesome <3 :D
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Was it so important to use new color calibration? Why has it been changed? Was it required by some change or just something new?
[HTC Sensation] SafirSwe:
Recently came back to update my phone and I have 2 questions. Am I correct in assuming that Sweep2Wake works with the updates to the SebFM kernel? Is Sultanxda former Android1-7? If the answer to both my questions is yes, then I can download this today! :)

Edit: Just found the answer to my second question!
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
I don't think it's a real kernel level calibration. It should be the usual overlay color, something to avoid like hell.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Colors look more natural to me with the latest update, I really like it!

Don't know what kind of secret sauce you used [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] but the ROM feels smoother.

Edit: reading the changelog reveals that it is probably the CM Power HAL.
[HTC Sensation] catch_doon:
Sorry for the late reply. I was off the grid nonetheless! Anyways I want to let you know that my Phone still keeps crashing & shows the same reason on reboot: "android.process.media" is no longer working. I then have to hard reboot (manual reboot) the device to get it working properly as i have mentioned earlier.

I am however downloading the latest update to this ROM. Hope that helps!

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

Yes! it's happening w/ that. I Hope the latest 11.05.2014 upgrade resolves that.

My SDCard is being removed unexpectedly, forcing me to reboot the phone. Is someone getting this message? Any way to solve it?
[HTC Sensation] catch_doon:

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I'm sorry for doing something interesting. Nobody else has played with colors on the Sensation before so I thought this would be a fresh change of pace. I'll just add it as an aroma option then.

On the Nexus 5 we have color control and true RGB, and I compared the new colors on the Sensation to my Nexus 5 with true RGB: the colors are almost exactly the same. Many manufacturers oversaturate the display's colors, so a lot of people are used to that I guess.
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
I like the new profile ;). In the end - it's your ROM and kernel, not of all those complaining people. You're doing a great job and a really like it, that this old device still has such talented devs who try new things. I guess I would have sold it long time ago without your work.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
There, uploaded a new kernel with basic color control.
[HTC Sensation] saldymhmd:
Personally, I like the new color calibration, it's more comfortable and 'cooler' on my eyes. This is your rom, your experiment, do what you like to do :D

Okay. Just curious do you think you'll ever work on or with the 3.4 kernel by flemmard? Not asking for near future, but I've always loved your kernels :D
[HTC Sensation] sanderg:
It is done with a driver, and via rendering. It's not an overlay color. Read the description from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] here.

Please, do not judge based on what you think. I have tried the apps with an overlay and didn't like them either. Although there's no guarantee this method will keep working in future versions, Chainfire has done a very good job with it right now.

[HTC Sensation] catch_doon:
I don't care what anyone says! This new RBG display is much nicer, sober! +1 for the experimentation [MENTION=237269]sultan[/MENTION]
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Change it to what? The kernel only has 3 CPU governors: Powersave, Ondemand, and Performance. Powersave and Performance are only there if you want to run a benchmark or make your phone switch to the Powersave governor after the screen turns off with some app or something. The only governor for regular use is Ondemand; the reason for that is because I tweaked Ondemand and mpdecision to work well with each other, so Ondemand doesn't cause useless hotplugging thus saving battery. Also, Ondemand works the best out of any governor I've tried; it is the best balance between performance and battery life, which is why I removed the other governors.
[HTC Sensation] scanferr:
Yeah, I always use Ondemand. I tried to change to Performance to run a benchmark, like you said and it stayed as Ondemand. Tried to Powersave too and didn't work.
[HTC Sensation] francesco totti:
I know what you mean! If you change the governor it goes back to what you set in aroma installer!! I think you should use SetCPU App!
[HTC Sensation] Hydro333D:
The camera on cm11 usually works just fine .Its just you dont have as many capabilities like burst or slow motion to work here,Other than these its all about focusing .witch is ok these days on cms.Many times i snap better pictures on some cm11than sense and i mean on my pc's screen to check the result.If you want better results on any rom you can use apps like procapture ,nightcamera pro,,,etc and you will get panorama and many other features and much better results.Others may say sense its the best for our phone ,sure its full compatible on features and not in results

[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Sultan 11.05 build works just fine. Smoother than ever. Great job.

Just a question, why don't you work on 3.4 flemmard kernel as you did on 3.0 Sebastian one?
[HTC Sensation] JanSpatschek:
When I set Max CPU to 1188 during Kernel installation, it shows 1512 when it boots. (Latest build, latest Kernel, clean install.)
[HTC Sensation] xboxbr:
I had similar problem

I set 1674 in kernel but is shows 1188mhz after boot

-May 11 and 1.5.3 k
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
It shows 1188MHz because thermald throttled your CPU in order to cool it down. Once your CPU's temperature drops enough, thermald will automatically change your maxfreq back 1674MHz.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Actually I noticed the same thing. Under settings-performance I tried to set 1512mhz checking "set it at boot" as well, but when I checked, entering again the performance setting, if the new setting stored... it didn't. The value of max frequency was still 1188. After several times I tried to set 1512 finally it stored and now at every boot that's the max frequency.

Basically to be sure the new max frequency is correctly stored you have to go out that settings and then go back to it to check it, since not always it's correctly memorized.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I explain why this happens literally in the post right before yours...
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Ok, after I succeeded in storing that value now it always uses the max frequency I set. Never seen 1188MHz anymore, maybe I have been lucky with thermald so far, but it's so...
