No problemo. :)

Also there is app called GSam Battery Monitor. It is also a good software to monitor different apps, wakelocks & of course the battery.

Thanks...

In march 25 build, the free ram available is always around 300mb but in latest 13 April it's only around 100mb. I checked this using gravitybox module in xposed by enabling the recent app ram bar so I'll know how much ram the phone used. Is this bc of the kernel update?
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
I also noticed that free ram is sensibly less than 25.03 build. Often I experience launcher redraws and sometimes a soft reboot. Never happened before.
[HTC Sensation] aminarmani:
Me too when switching between apps but now im back to 25/3 build. Seems a bit smoother and bug free.
[HTC Sensation] cipher75:
After a couple of days playing with the new 13/04 release, here are a few things i noticed.

I have experienced some Android System UI FCs (taking every apps with it to the grave), log is attached.

It seems to be connected to some memory allocation issue.

I add to this a logcat i saved while experiencing the same issue this morning.

I also had to use the 3 buttons reboot when default web browser was stuck trying to load a facebook page (i did scroll down quite a lot before it appears). I don't have any logs for that

The sound distortion on calls is still there. Could it be connected to a bogus TPA2051_CFG ?

As noticed by several other people, when calling, the ringing tone is set to the max and have to play with the volume to get to a level where there is no distortion and a confortable volume level.

Another point, a bit weird, i also experimented it with previous roms such the one shipping 1.0.4 - patched with 1.0.6 kernel : when using navigations app such as google navigation or waze, as some point there is no more refresh of the screen. I have to touch it in order to get things back.

With the 13/04 there is another thing in this case : i have experienced the screen getting black. I have to unlocked it to get back to my navs apps.

EDIT : i removed an app : gps status. This app when installed takes care of initiating gps localisation. The refresh symptom i describe seems to be connected to the fact that this app is restarted from time to time, restarting each time the gps search process. When removed the above problems disappears.

If you need some more elements, please ask me.

Hope that helps.
[HTC Sensation] migui0401:
This build is more unstable tha last others, glitches mean changing between recent app and closing, killing all apps at the same time, i must wait more or less 30 seconds for the phone get back to it's usable way.
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Can confirm that; plus, probably higher battery usage...
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Weird, I have none of the above issues!

Sultan, could you add the latest release of google cam in next build? I downloaded and installed it from the xda homepage and it worked for a few shots in photosphere then gave "failed to connect to camera" and defaulted back to previous cam. Installed again, rebooted and saw updating app 1\1 but when that was done it was still the "old" camera.

**edit** it would appear that installing the apk installs it as a separate camera app and does not replace the system camera app.

I also don't have these problems mentioned above, only that sometimes wifi does nog connect immediatly and i have turn it off and on to get it working. But i still think this is the best build do far. Strange that we have so many different experiences.
[HTC Sensation] eymas:
Just had several apps crashing at simple operations, system apps included(Even the installation program when uninstalling an app)

As usual if a log is needed i'll provide it as Im not near any of my pcs
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
We all install the rom different ((clean) wipe + do (not) restore apps via TiBu, He.

To all the people with problems, try a complete wipe. If you did install the rom this way, give Sultan logs.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Did anyone install new Google camera? Here it fc when I try to open settings...
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Yeah, same here.
[HTC Sensation] NiTrOwow:
Just tested it with Google Camera build 2.1.037 (1122348-30)

And it works perfectly. I have found no problems so far.

________________________________________________

Seems to be working really good compared to my 4.2.1 aokp rom that i had before. Smooth for 4.4.2 on this peace of hardware.

Also did not find any issues. If i find them i will provide logcat for OP.

Great job, thanks for keeping this device alive. The only thing that sucks a little bit imho :)

Is the limitation in customization compared to aokp. But whatever, it works as intended, and it's fast.

:good:
[HTC Sensation] catch_doon:
True! I've experienced it multiple times. At times the only way to get phone stable is to RESTART it!

Sultan any info on that?
[HTC Sensation] Ch3vr0n:
works fine here too but doesnt replace the stock camera. It adds a new one
[HTC Sensation] NiTrOwow:
Did not experienced this yet. I will keep testing the rom during the week, and see what happens.

Indeed stock camera is a little bit better. However it has some minor problems, will check if i ever have this again. It crashed once without reason. The Google Camera is fun to play with has some extra settings/features what the stock Camera doesn't have. That's really all there is.
[HTC Sensation] Ch3vr0n:
i didn't say it was better lol, i said it doesnt actually replace the stock camera like any other update would do. Just had a fc trying to do that focus zoom thing. so it aint perfect yet. But that's not unexpected, this aint exactly a google rom & kernel
[HTC Sensation] NiTrOwow:
Yes, but it is really the hardware i think. I have had more than 10 roms+ on my device. In a period over 3 years i think. And none of them was any better than the current camera apps that are out there now e.g CM stock and Google's cam.

And no, a regular app won't replace a app that's baked in the rom. That's right.

Just so you know.

[HTC Sensation] adv392:
Please provide last_kmsg as that would help the developer to solve the issue

Sent from my Sensation
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Hm, there's no last_kmsg in /proc, am I doing something wrong?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
A random reboot is different from a random shutdown. Random shutdown = phone doesn't turn back on on its own. A random shutdown will result in no last_kmsg (as the RAM has been cleared) and it is not caused by the kernel. Seeing as how you have no last_kmsg, I'm assuming that's what happened.

I am a magical purple unicorn that can debug reboots without logs.
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
No, actually it did reboot, completely on its own, five minutes earlier; it was just sitting on the table in front of me and I saw it powering up, but no last_kmsg... weird!
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Soft reboot
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Ah. No luck then...
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
It isn't because of the kernel. I installed v1.3.1 on the new ROM build and it still felt laggier than the old build. Not sure what changes CM made...
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Nope. Google doesn't release the source code for their camera app, and I don't want to smali-edit it to add features (like touch to focus in camcorder).

I haven't had a graphical glitch in months, and that was back when I was working on new framebuffer drivers...
[HTC Sensation] Ch3vr0n:
No worries, couldn't hurt to ask. but isn't the camera app also in g-apps. gapps just isn't updated yet to the new camera. Is there anything i can do to help you figure out why it sometimes FC's?

[HTC Sensation] this4you:
HI

does this rom support USB OTG without power supply ?

Id appreciate if some one reply me
[HTC Sensation] AkhmenHotep:
I saw your other comment as well and here is the answer: the kernel is the same pretty much in both the ROM and the kernel.zip (I am partly guessing here), what is in the kernel.zip is the one that is in the rom but it lets you customise aspects of the kernel you can't in the ROM (natively) e.g. Undervolt, overclock the GPU, adjust the time the alert light flashes (don't know this one, haven't taken the time to see if you can change it in the ROM) and a few other options. If you want greater control over your kernel (make your phone faster or make the battery last longer) then flashing the kernel AFTER flashing the ROM is a good way to do it, it is also really easy to do because of the aroma installer.

Good Luck :D

Guys, you need to post at least some more Information when asking for help...

When doing what? Syncing, Google Now, Google Voice Search?

The previous build showed that message when using Voice Search, but the new build fixed that already.

Apart from that I had absolutely no problems with this Rom.

Have you tried newer Gapps from 20131119? Search for gapps-kk-20131119.zip and you will find them.

Hello friends,

I flashed this ROM yesterday (3rd Dec) and was using Android1-7's CM10.2 till then. Reason is simple, I cannot live without camera and wow Android1-7's finally made it! Thanks a lot bro. :)

So far everything is working perfect except upon rebooting, the launcher wallpaper goes black. Have to choice again but not on every reboots. I'm using latest nova launcher and not sure if its the launcher issue. Please confirm if anybody else have the same issue.

I miss the CM settings to change status bar icons but thanks to Gravitybox. It helped me change many things. Apart from that, I liked the phone app. Nice changes. Especially to show others, Hey! I have a got KitKat! Have you? :D

Thanks...

Calendar syncing fine for me... I'd be in a world of hurt without it.

I'm having a slightly weird thing though... and I haven't read anyone else mentioning the same thing. My status bar icons never turn blue to show I'm authenticated with google (or whatever it means.. can't remember exactly). Everything seems to be working fine... in the past when this would happen to me, simply logging into the play store usually caused it to change blue again. Doesn't seem to want to do that for me now.
[HTC Sensation] TiN-MAN:
I seem to remember problems partitioning this phone being talked about before. But could you take the space from /system to give to cache? I'm running MIUI and have 400mb+ free. Can't imagine pure asop being bigger?
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I know it's meant to be like that in 4.4
[HTC Sensation] ximmox:
Don't worry, this is an Android 4.4 feature. There are no more blue status icons to show your connectivity, they are always white. If the connection is problematic you can see that now in the quicksettings dropdown, the WIFI and data icons turn orange if there is no proper connection. When everything is alright the icons are white everywhere, statusbar and in the dropdown. :good:

Installed latest version after full wipe etc. and unable to boot, even without gaps installed. Do someone have same problem? Boot animation freez after 1-2 seconds and then phone reboot to white screen with HTC logo. Boot loop :(
[HTC Sensation] anomalyconcept:
I had that issue yesterday as well with the 12/03 build. Attempting to add the google account failed as well, and the 'calendar' option to sync doesn't show up in the Settings > Accounts either.

I flashed the 12/04 build (and gapps again) before solving the issue, and I don't recall exactly if that fixed it. I also installed the Google Calendar (from the app store) which may have been what was needed to sync.

Noticed from your signature that you are using clockwork mod with S-ON. That's your problem. Use 4EXT and enable Smartflash in it. Then full wipe except for SD card, flash ROM, flash GAPPs, flash kernel (optional), reboot.

Ok, it just rebooted again. It was off, I tried to wake it up, and only the buttons would light up, not the screen. Tried pressing the Power button a couple of times but nothing changes (it does that often), then after several seconds it rebooted. This time I got a last_kmsg. Hope it helps!
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
Alright, GSam Battery Monitor is indeed a nice app. Checked waked lock, nothing seems to be out the ordinary and I compared it with Viper ROM. I don't know what it is, but this ROM just won't go into deep sleep. It fluctuates between -11mAh nad -64mAh at night compared to viper 0mAh -11mAh.
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Yeah; one night I went to bed leaving it at ~40%, in the morning it had shut down itself. At another time it was losing something like 25%/hour, though the drain went away when I rebooted it. All that from a clean install, with a subset of the programs I had installed before flashing.

i have a question, becouse i'm new holder of htc sensation and i want to install this ROM

I have a HBOOT 1.17.1111 S-OFF from revolutionary.io wth CWM from this site.

My question is what I must have to do to have this ROM ? Only download the ROM put in the SD-card and isntall with full wipe ?

Please help !
[HTC Sensation] JanSpatschek:
Read the OP. You need the latest version of 4Ext Recovery.
[HTC Sensation] zzieluuu:
so i don't need install other soft and bla bla bla ? i have:

revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4, HBOOT-1.17.1111 and there were must be -UNLOCKED- I have -Revolutionary-

only install the 4EXT ? :) FROM HERE: 4EXT and then put the rom and install with FULL WIPE ? :)
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
You need to upgrade your firmware to 3.33 universall and to have latest 4ext recovery 1.0.0.6 RC1 :)
[HTC Sensation] zzieluuu:
okay..:)

so i download the 3.33 firmware, install from bootloader , then install 4EXT, put the ROM on SD-card, install from 4EXT and TADAAA ? that's it ? :)
[HTC Sensation] JanSpatschek:
Install Gapps as well.
[HTC Sensation] zzieluuu:
i don't know what i did wrong but now i have the bootloop :( i only update the 3.33 RUU from here PG58IMG.zip and when it's complete i have the HTC logo (with) sound and reset...

what i do wrong ?

[MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION]. I don't say this but i have a 2.3.4 ROM...now i will isntall the 4EXT from this Step 1. Flashing 4EXT recovery touch in the bootloader and then install the 4.4.2 ;) on 3.33 firmware :) maybe it helps :)

My setup with this ROM:

1.) Clean install w/ GAPPs

2.) Turn Wifi and Data On

3.) Downloaded Titanium Backup and restored Battery Monitor Widget Pro.

4.) Reboot

5.) Left the phone alone.

Result: Will not sleep. I get about 10 hours. Don't get me wrong, 10 hours is freaking great and can last for a day but it is significantly different than 36 hours.

My setup with ViperS:

Same thing with and 40 Apps.

Result: 1 day and a half with about 3 hours screen time

PS. Anker Battery.
[HTC Sensation] migui0401:
Good :good:

Clean install w/ gapps and restored ALL of my old apps.

[HTC Sensation] zzieluuu:
some battery fix ? what is the best rom with best battery optimalization ? I really need a good performance/stable with good battery ROM... maybe MIUI v5 ? anyone ?
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
This is pretty useless, as it proves nothing and doesn't help as well. Don't get me wrong, no offense intended. Next time, include logs, for example a last_kmsg after a reboot.

Posts as the above two are even more useless. There is no and never has been any problem with this specific ROM, which creates any battery problems, wakelocks or anything whatsoever. All of this is user error in the end. I made this talk in almost any ROM thread since ICS, in 1 of 500 cases it was about the ROM, the rest was some wakelock of some app. It leads to nothing... even less if you don't provide any log at all. You heard about betterbatterystats? Track the problem down at your end. Maybe get a new battery. Again: no offense intended. Please just stop the useless battery talk ffs.

Besides that, I wanted to report a bug. Got two soft reboots using 04/13 version. Both concerning status bar, while getting some notifications. The device froze for a short time, then soft rebooted. Back to the lockscreen, system UI crashed again and again. After this, I rebooted manually and grabbed the last_kmsg, get it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/keo39qi9z7gz1ul/last_kmsg

[HTC Sensation] NiTrOwow:
Guys, i think the soft reboot issue can be the cause of two things.

1. Battery has some free space between it. This can cause the sudden reboots if you tight the space between the battery this will make it occur less.

2. Some weird issue with all HTC Sensation phones, also with stock firmware, kernel, radio etc. They always have soft reboots. I asked multiple owners of the Sensation (that had the same model as mine) and always have those issues with random reboots. Those also often happen after each other. Reboot and few minutes later again. It also doesn't seem to matter what you do to cause this issue and to reproduce it. Didn't got my hands yet on a reboot with this rom, will definitely provide a last_kmsg and logcat etc if i ever get this again. Personally experienced this issue often when using the camera but not sure if other also had this.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] I got another reboot, this time I could grab a last_kmsg. Do you have a clue?
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
That's cool. tell me what you did!

1.) How long can your phone last?

2.) Screen-on time?

3.) Anker?

EDIT: Well...thinking about it... Considering if it uses 6% after each hour, it will only last for ~16 hours. Viper ROM 36 hours compared to your 16 hours...quite significant.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Are you confident in your statement "no and never has been any problem with this specific ROM"? But somehow people are having issues with it? Take a step back, there will be some sort of glitch/issue, albeit minute. That is why there we're here on XDA seeking for troubleshooting.

As far as wakelock, a previous member CRACING suggest GSAM Battery. Nothing suggested anything out of the ordinary except Playstore waking up here and there.
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
I agree with McLongDong. From the posts here it seems that the last build is presenting some issues, at least for some users. Problems have appeared before in other builds too, and always it's the "first time" for those problems. Completely natural, if you ask me. What is NOT natural is being so arrogant and positive there's nothing wrong with the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Ch3vr0n:

[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Hi McLongDong,

In reality you can't really compare the Viper ROM to this one. Their Sense ROM and this AOSP ROM are very different beasts so it's unfair to compare the two. So you're not really comparing apples to apples. It would be a fairer comparison to compare this ROM to another AOSP ROM. I think if you do, you'll find many AOSP ROMs last about the same. You're looking for around 10-12 hours battery time with about 2 hours screen time.

Another thing is that somehow, Team Viper tweaked their ROM to be able to squeeze the juice from the battery in a very efficient way. I heard it's magic!

So at any rate, first, you shouldn't be comparing ROMs in the threads to begin with. Not very ethical. Second, make sure you are comparing like things if you do do a comparison, both to be fair, as well as give you a more accurate picture of what's going on.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
You're comparing apples to motorcycles.
