So either am I curious to know the reason that why 3.4 kernel development stopped all of a sudden , maybe Camera Auto Focus issue is to some extend crucial to get fixed

by the way thanks for their hard work toward this
[HTC Sensation] cipher75:
I just checked md5sum on my ROM, they match yours (actually if you download the zip using goomanger, md5 should be checked upon download).

To make it clear, would you mind answering those questions ?

1. Is your phone S-OFF or S-ON ?

2. Are you using latest 4Ext recovery touch ? (1.0.0.6_RC1 if i am not mistaken), with the Smartflash option if S-ON
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Guys did you check actual max cpu frequency? In Android tuner, despite in init.d it was set a 1.512ghz, it was at 1.13 or something.
[HTC Sensation] lovendsuicide:
I noticed this... the cpu frequency still scales up to 1.5Ghz when opening apps and some other occasions but spends most of its time at 1.1Ghz. Things still move smoothly but in certain apps like Instagram or Facebook the scrolling would be better if it jumped up do the maximum frequency more often.
[HTC Sensation] marco1962:
One by one:

1- Phone is S-ON, but always I will change ROM, there is not any problem.

2- My 4Ext is v1.0.0.5 (did you guess this is case problem?)

3- Always enabled smart flash to change ROMs

Issues with gapps

Hi,

My phone won't boot past the HTC logo with the provided gapps (http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps-mini). I'll try some other gapps.

I'm using February 17 build. Everything is wiped "Format all except sdcard" in 4EXT.

Anyone recommend any other gapps?

Cheers

edit: It boots after 5 minutes with older version of gapps but immediately I get "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped".

edit2: Anyone recommend a specific version of pa_gapps-modular-mini?
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
Bilal said he stopped working on it, because he has no time. Ivanich fixed the black stripes, but video recording isn't working and he'll push the fix to github once sultan hopefully can fix the video recording.

Just read the thread.
[HTC Sensation] room311:
use the latest varsion : 4EXT 1.0.0.6 RC1
[HTC Sensation] marco1962:
I guess your answer, I checked with 4Ext 1.0.0.6 but again same problem.

Mean will install ROM with smart flash, but loop on boot logo.

:mad:
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
Nice one...

Although the lack of launcher options with the new Trebuchet is a bit annoying, your Feb 17 rom and r57 kernel are working well. No problems so far and the battery life is good, as usual.
[HTC Sensation] sudgai:
Please, check op's post. He mentioned that this is not updatable to old rom due to change in whole rom base. Just do full wipe and flash it.

I'm a S-On user. I did full wipe of phone. Then, flash rom

Working fine. Thanks to [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] , and god of our phone SebastianFM .:):thumbup:
[HTC Sensation] nickez2001:
Did you install gapps afterwards? In that case which version?
[HTC Sensation] sudgai:
Pa gapps mini modular 07/02...
[HTC Sensation] nickez2001:
Doesn't seem to work on my device.. I've been stuck on HTC logo for a while now. I'm running out of ideas, might have to flash an older version of the rom. I was really excited to try the new graphics libraries.

edit: It boots 15 February. Is there any way I can provide logs so that it is possible to find out what is wrong with my phone in combination with 17 February build?
[HTC Sensation] nosferatu997:
I have the same problem. Redownloading right now.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Try flashing boot.img via fastboot.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] I've just noticed the incoming call screen is still weird, like it's the wrong size for our screen or something.

I've always noticed this with your builds that have the 3.0 kernel but in the 3.4 kernel version it's fine, anyone else noticed this?
[HTC Sensation] martix90:
Yes, I noticed this problem, too.
[HTC Sensation] nickez2001:
Tried it, still stuck at HTC after 5 minutes.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Leave it at the HTC screen for a minute then check if adb works, and if it does then run adb reboot recovery. Then once you get into recovery, run adb pull /proc/last_kmsg and post the file here. I can't debug without a proper last_kmsg.

Also, you can try flashing TWRP, performing a full wipe, flashing the ROM, then flashing boot.img through fastboot.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Not exactly sure what you mean. If coming from OTHER ROMs, you need to do a full wipe. If coming from Sultan's other CM11 ROMs, you can dirty flash. I've dirty flashed this ROM and all works well.

Of course if you have the time, always cleanest to do clean install. ;)
[HTC Sensation] nosferatu997:
And you are absolutely right. I tried dirty flash, clean install, with and without gapps. Still no luck. Will try pushing boot.img via adb, and will try to provide last_kmsg.
[HTC Sensation] nickez2001:
Wow, talk about suprise, it booted. But I have no idea which gapps I'm running any more. And I've flashed 0215 and 0217 a couple of times without wiping.

You can check my attached dmesg if there is anything strange. Something with CPU1 seems bananas.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Seems some people had trouble with the PA 2/17 gapps :confused: I haven't tested the 2/17 gapps. I've been using the previous version.

I'll look at your log when I get home. CPU1 could just be hotplugging.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
I'm using PA's 2/17 gapps with no problems if that helps.
[HTC Sensation] nosferatu997:
Maybe, but i tried flashing without gapps and still no luck ;)
[HTC Sensation] pyramid:
same here...PA 2/17...no problem...
[HTC Sensation] Kiranb212:
+1 same here...
[HTC Sensation] alqali:
Just updated to 0217 build and had the device freeze several times when playing video on mxplayer and a battery pull was needed. The issue happened after a dirty install and then after a full wiped install as well. I have reverted back to 0129 as 0215 was giving me random reboots.

I apologize for not providing logs as I am a casual user that does not know how to get them. So I know that this comment isn't that beneficial to the developer, however maybe someone else with the same issues could provide logs.

Great work as always sultan, and thank you for giving our sensations a new lease on life.
[HTC Sensation] cmjester6421:
I have been at this for over 3 hours its ROM all rom I have tried many new dl's both computers and phones. This is not something that has EVER happened to me with any ROM I run. The 3 of us that have spoke out we (A)have the same problem with our setup or (B) its all ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I'm doing stuff with the 3.0 kernel because I've already done most of what I can do with the 3.4 kernel itself. I could fix camera by implementing PMEM and my fixes for PMEM & ION (though I'm not sure if I'd be able to fix PMEM encoding in the 3.4 kernel's video controller drivers), but ivanich has already made a lot of progress with the ION camera, so I don't think PMEM is needed. As for the camera, I know almost nothing about the camera HAL itself, so I'm unable to help with that. I do have some small fixes from my 3.0 kernel and device tree that I can add to the 3.4 ROM, but other than that, there isn't much left that I can fix. ION camera is the last major issue.

Therefore, in the meantime, I'm having fun hacking away at the 3.0 kernel :p Back in the day, two things were considered impossible with the 3.0 kernel: hardware vsync and camera functioning with ION. I worked on hardware vsync on the 3.0 kernel for the fun of it :) Seems like it needs some tweaking though.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I just played several 1080P videos through MX Player (using hardware decoder) and all of them played back perfectly and were very smooth. I am using the kernel's stock settings. The kernel's stock CPU settings are fairly low for better battery life, but all videos played back smoothly.
[HTC Sensation] alqali:
I haven't changed anything in MX player, so are you saying that I should check the "Use H/W+ decoder" box to get it to not hangup? Sorry for the noob question :o but I didn't have to do so in the previous builds. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I didn't have to change anything in MX Player's settings either. I just opened MX Player and played the videos :confused: MX Player defaults to the H/W decoder, not H/W+. When a video is playing back, tap the screen to bring up the pause button interface. After that interface pops up, in the top right hand corner of the video there is a button that says either S/W, H/W, or H/W+. If you see S/W then that's why your videos are lagging. Press on S/W and select H/W decoder to change it to H/W.

If this isn't the case then it may be the format your videos are in. What format are your videos in? Mine are in mp4 (you can check which file extension the video files end in).
[HTC Sensation] engines12:
I don't have a logcat but I'm experiencing problems with the 02-17 ROM and kernel. phone restarted when I used the stock camera and after the screen turns off, when I press the power button the home, menu, etc. buttons light up bu the screen remains dark. I usually have to wait for 4s before pressing the power button again.

I did a full wipe (clean install) for the 02-15 to see whether the battery drain will be solved.

Also how do I enable ART?
[HTC Sensation] suiller:
Me too and no prob at all
[HTC Sensation] saldymhmd:
Path Force Close

Using latest build, clean install, after booting to homescreen I was directly install Path from sdcard. Trying to upload image but it's force closing. Here's the logcat when opening Path and some errors on Adreno libs.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Okay I'm just reaching in hopes of helping but this isn't some weird panel thing again is it? Since the video was hacked I thought that might be a possibility...

Can't blame a guy for trying! :laugh:

Sorry to quote my own post but its not just me can we please get some info as to why this would happen!
[HTC Sensation] Hydro333D:
This time the battery is much better on the latest built I dont know but the camera the photos are better than viper 5 rom especially on dark coditions!!I made a lot of tests and sure about that . Whay do you think sultan ?The rom is running smooth to me ,Made clean install and thank you 1 more time:good:
[HTC Sensation] xboxbr:
I'm very happy with this last version, much better than CM10.2

Pros.

smooth gaming

a little bit less battery drain

more RAM available

good interface

wi-fi and 3g is starting much faster

I didn't wipe anything. I just overwrite my old CM10.2 and I didn't see any bug so far

I also installed the new kernel r57

I set CPU to 1.8ghz and GPU at 320mhz

Cons.

white and gray colors on contacts menu probably drains more battery. old colors (black and blue) were more elegant

I didn't find where I can change lockscreen background

sort icons option is not saving

when the phone is starting up, the screen brightness is unnecessary strong about 4 or 5 secs
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Are you serious? I dont think so
[HTC Sensation] sonnhy:
Isn't this ROM built with kernel 3.4?
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
Well there is a reason why 3.0 kernel is in thread name...

[HTC Sensation] spuri78:
Looks like we'll always be in the same boat lol. I got stuck at the HTC logo as well.

Took logcat and kmsg of last getting stuck on HTC logo.

From the logs it looks like everything was fine... O.o

Or is it?

Anyway waited for like 8 mins before writing it off as stuck.

Flashed with 4Ext v1.0.0.6 RC1, booted, restarted, waited...
[HTC Sensation] sonnhy:
That's why I asked, because I thought this was 3.4 kernel until a few days ago when the Title updated..
[HTC Sensation] seki750:
Can be camcorder shutter delay fixed somehow? Or could you fix it in future?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I didn't find anything interesting in your logs :(

However, there is a bit of history to this issue. I encountered this issue when using pure CAF framebuffer drivers. Stuck at HTC splash screen and after a few minutes, dmesg and logcat stop generating new messages. This also seems to be the same problem plaguing some users of the Team-Senny CM11 ROM. Garaddon, I remember you having the exact same issue with the Team-Senny CM11 ROM and then ivanich posted a zImage with the problem fixed. I talked to ivanich about it but it seems he can't remember how he fixed it :crying:
[HTC Sensation] Siema89:
[ROM][Android 4.4.2][HW VSYNC] CM11 with ION and 3.0 kernel [Feb 17, 2014]

Yeah, I remember having this issue with Team-Senny CM11. Although then it booted like 1 in 10 tries. Now it hangs 1 of 10 tries :)

About what was fixed: I remember someone mentioning L2 cache speeds, but not sure if that was it....

edit: I was wrong about that 1 in 10. Apparently, until the first hang it boots in 100% cases. After first fail, it fails 100% of the time :/
[HTC Sensation] CRACING:
Guess no body uses it. I could have asked in comodo forum but I think the issue is with the ROM. :confused:

I like their anti thief and call/sms block features. Of course there are other apps but needs purchase.
[HTC Sensation] Dittel:
So, I had hanging on HTC boot screen 2 days ago after ROM flashing. I had S-ON that time and new ROM has a lot of deep system features to be flashed without touch of system kernel areas (previous ROMs were flashed successfully with S-ON). Yesterday I've performed the non-simple procedure to obtain S-OFF by Joupunutbear and re-flash of the ROM again successfully. My phone has successfully loaded and it works now very good! I switched on for Fsync (AROMA installer writes FSync is on be kernel default but the installation check is set to Fsync off). However I still not satisfied my battery live but it is the future investigations.

My camera works fine with flash. Problem with videocapturing program is solved too.

Many thanks to Sultanxda for this ROM!
[HTC Sensation] spuri78:
so, did you try and flash that zimage from bilal's thread?
[HTC Sensation] hardevg:
Hello, tell me please, I have not played the notification signal, although the ring tone works, what could be the problem in this firmware? Thank you.

[HTC Sensation] jorra:
I get screen freezes with feb 17. Have to pull battery and wait for about 5 min before put the battery back, otherwise I get stuck on HTC logo. Tried to get the log but it only shows events from after the reboot...

Still have problem with battery drain.

I've a lot of partial wakelocks: for example cLock weather (but i've disabled it)

I'll put in attachment BetterBatteryStats' log: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/63887949/BetterBatteryStats_LOG.zip

[HTC Sensation] amsterdam88:
Hi, sultan, the rom is really amazing!

I've only one problem: video playback! I'm using mx player with h/w decoder as you reccomend but video playback doesn't work.

Any suggestion?
[HTC Sensation] sudgai:
Which launcher you are using?

If it's Google now launcher then, change to cyanogen mods launcher.

Because, Google now launcher keep your device awake to catch OK Google command. Whereas, cyanogen mods launcher isn't search for ok Google command.

It may cause battery drain....
[HTC Sensation] willy1521:
I use trebuchet...and I have only google core package (about 20 MB)...installed to test if google services are guilty of draining
[HTC Sensation] oocieni:
Same problem. I uninstall MXPlayer 1.7.24, and install a old version 1.7.22. it works !

[HTC Sensation] sanderg:
Nova here, same issue. Lost 25% during the night, phone was not doing anything (auto-updates are off). Mostly screen time related.

There is really something broken since about 4-5 weeks. Hope [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] can find the root cause. Would make a lot of people happy.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Nothing is broken at all, I was on the 17/2 build until last night and I was getting brilliant battery life, 1 hour and 45 minutes screen on time the first time I had to charge and 2 hours 10 minutes the second time.

Clearly an app you use is draining battery, it's something you've done, not sultan.
[HTC Sensation] xboxbr:
try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify

My MXplayer works OK with HW decoder. Probably our difference is in video files and record format?

[HTC Sensation] francesco totti:
Recorded Videos by camera can't be played either! Even with stock gallery! It says "can't play the video"!!
[HTC Sensation] sanderg:
I did not write that Sultan has done something wrong. I was asking for assistance in finding the root cause.

I have been using Greenify for a year already. I'm using WLD, the display has been undervolted 600 mV to slightly improve the situation and Wi-Fi scanning is disabled. There is no specific app that's sucking the battery. I'm seeing PowerManager wakelocks and 'smdcntl0' (modem?).

Perhaps it depends on which batch of Sensation you have, mine is one of the first.

Should I update the RIL?
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
The RIL comes with the ROM. I doubt if your phone is older than mine which is 3 yrs old in May and I have great battery life. My guess, like the previous suggestion, is that you've got a battery sucking app. Easy way to tell is to load your apps a few at a time and let them run awhile before you load more until you find the culprit.
[HTC Sensation] willy1521:
Greenify installed with advanced option.

Apps that cause wakelocks:

Facebook

Facebook messenger

Skype

Dropbox

But they have no sync active. I've freezed them.

Tomorrow morning I will check battery stats....I'll hope they will ne better than today!
[HTC Sensation] eymas:
Hm. How exactly does display undervolting work?

Just activated it by flashing the kernel and setting it on 2750mV and noticed only that graphics aren't all that smooth anymore.

(Message sent from the device.)
[HTC Sensation] nicknc:
What does your states data look like? There was a swath of official nightlies for my Ville that caused minimum frequencies to spike to ~900mhz. Would get great battery life with screen off and tons of deep sleep, but massive battery drain when awake-- kind of what your phone looks like.
[HTC Sensation] sykozylot:
Same for me. Battery is good when screen is off. Once the screen is on, though, battery drains rapidly. Using ondemand with 1080 max and undervolted screen to try to solve it. I literally have about 2 hours of screen time before my battery dies. 1 hour if playing Angry Birds. Using both Greenify and BatteryGuru.
[HTC Sensation] bloodyrose:
ah..anyway your rom is still the fastest ever running on our sensation :)

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Immersive mode is built into KitKat.
[HTC Sensation] assassinator:
Yes on my Galaxy tab I had to resize the cache partition to 256Mb(from 100Mb).On our Sensi which is already short on internal memory i think its not an option. Although on the tab ART is a nice speedup in app opening(Maybe its just Placebo).
[HTC Sensation] mywingflys:
Oh I see

That means I need to find apps that support it

Google Chrome doesn't
