... has nothing to do with LTE (4G)
[HTC Sensation] fbf2201:
4G just means 4th Generation.

You were asking about network communication, so 4G stands for LTE.

I don't know, why they (T-Mobile) called thier Sensation 4G, because there is actually no (hardware) difference compared to a Sensation and Sensation XE.
[HTC Sensation] derekny:
Finally some clarity...lol thanks
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
I'm pretty sure that 4G is 4G and LTE is 4.5G, also called 4G LTE. The Sensation 4G model has a 4G radio and a back cover connection for it unlike the Sensation and Sensation XE.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
This is not 100% accurate. In the infancy of LTE, before T-Mo started LTE, T-Mo was labeling their HSPA network as "4G". Back then, there was no clear cut distinction in terms of labeling. And nothing was EVER made official. Therefore T-Mo decided that their network, which at the time was actually just as fast, if not faster in some areas, than LTE, was also "4G". This confusion carried on to Sprint who deemed their Wi-Max network as "4G". Since then it has become a lot less muddy, but when the Sensation 4G was introduced, AT THE TIME, it was considered "4G".

Hope this didn't add to the confusion! :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] fbf2201:
No, 4G is LTE and 4.5G is LTE-A (advance) a successor of LTE.

But why they didn't do it in the software, as well? Imo, HSDPA always was 3.5G or 3G+.

I think it was just a promotion thing, to call it Sensation 4G - to make it newer or better even though it wasn't. [emoji1]
[HTC Sensation] serio22:
Oh they did. The stock T-Mobile firmware shows a 4G icon when you connect to UMTS/HSPA. And they still do it to all their devices, and show a 4G LTE icon when on LTE
[HTC Sensation] fbf2201:
Oh I see :silly:

They even write it in their Tech Specs, but any other spec I found don't. link

But here is something that might solve the confusion. link ...just below the first picture.

They just named it 4G, but actually it's not. HSPA+ is part of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specification.

It's all about selling stuff. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] ericbaggio:
have your phone ever fallen down from high place? mine did fall on the ground some times and can see many such black dot, it was put into fridge without battery and then it works well.
[HTC Sensation] Schneefalke:
Yes, it did. And I'm not really sure if those appeared after it fell down, or after it burned. But fascinatingly, these dots come and go. Yesterday night the display was nearly unreadable, this morning they mostly disappeared. [emoji39] But if they'll reappear, I will give the fridge a chance. Thanks man! [emoji1]

[HTC Sensation] JMMPRATES:
Do not misunderstand me Sultan, i love your work, roms and kernel, but i just think this rom is definitely not stable.

I flashed it and i was always getting "Application has closed unexpectedly" so many times. Sometimes i could not even get to home screen because laucher crashed too.

I just gave a try to ParanoidAndroid 4.4.4, and until now it looks a lot more stable.

I'm not complaining about your work, just think that [STABLE] title is not suitable.

Keep your good work anyway. ;)
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
This rom IS stable. I have absolutely no issues with it aside from battery life but that is because my battery is old.
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
Criticism is okay, but don't you think that if those problems were rom related more than only you would report these issues?
[HTC Sensation] real_sl4cker:
Not one single issue of this kind over here, using it since months.

The only issue I have is that my old Senny works so well thanks to this ROM that I won't buy a new one until it's dead ;)

Swyped from my HTC Sensation via Tapatalk
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
+1

Rom is stable.:good:

My son uses the Sensation and we all know how kids can treat things.:p

The only thing my son complains is about memory space, but this of course is device related.

Gonna try link2sd

Ah and I disabled google search, that helped a lot with spurious freezes.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
This issue was fixed in the v1.7.1 kernel.
[HTC Sensation] specter16:
.android_secure

Can use .android_secure folder which contains apps installed to sd from other ROM ?
[HTC Sensation] kirashi:
I also have a near instant battery drain; It currently goes down from ~90% to ~20% in less than 10 minutes, even though in recovery the battery shows as ~90% to only ~65% drop in the same time frame. (Yes, my battery is old and croaking, but on the previous MARCH version of [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION]'s ROM it was fine.)

The other effect is that after letting it get down to ~20%, I have since put it on charge and started typing this post. In the 10 minutes it's taken me to write this post and research other postings about battery issues, my phone now reads ~90% charged again... Something's totally f'd with the way my particular battery reading is happening. I don't necessarily think it's [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION]'s ROM, as this isn't some widespread issue, but obviously something is broken.

Currently running 11-20140701-Sultan-pyramid 4.4.4

Baseband 11.69.3504.00P_11.22.3504.07_M

Kernel 3.0.16-Sultan-Pure-v1.7.0

Build cm_pyramid-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84P 31d43902e7 test-keys

For now I'm going to restore my nandroid backup of the MARCH Sultanxda rom if switching to kernel 1.7.2 doesn't fix the problems, because I'm heading out of town and won't be near power for most of the trip, save for a 5 hour car drive through BC, Canada. :D
[HTC Sensation] Babyhustle:
I saw there is a new changelog in the OP, but I cant find the kernel 1.7.2 in the download link

Edit

The download link just updated
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
If the ROM says your battery is at 20% then your battery IS REALLY AT 20% :eek: There is no battery drain. HTC's battery measurement system takes a very long time to discern the correct battery percentage after a reboot, so I recently changed this behavior in my kernel. The kernel now refreshes the battery statistics 12x faster than before (every 5s vs 60s). Let's say you've had your phone turned on for a few hours and you decide to reboot it. Let's say that the battery percentage BEFORE you reboot is 50%. After you reboot, your phone now says your battery is at 90%. What is your battery's real percentage? 50% or 90%? The reason why you (probably) experienced a huge battery drop was because the kernel was trying to show you the real battery percentage faster, instead of LYING to you. The kernel packaged with 4ext and other recoveries does not have this patch, so it still lies to you about the battery percentage for a while. With the old battery refresh rate of 60 seconds, it would take several minutes with the screen turned on before the true battery percentage was displayed.

Additionally, battery consumption inside recovery is very different compared to the ROM, so it wouldn't be fair to compare the two.
[HTC Sensation] kirashi:
I understand now, silly Android calculating battery slowly. Still, after just testing it out now, it appears I'm getting better battery life on the May 03 2014 ROM, even taking into account the 60s required for it to properly update my battery percentage. It is indeed still going down faster than normal due to my battery's age, but still after 5 minutes it went from ~80% to only ~67%, and after 10 minutes it's at ~55% compared to ~20% with the July ROM & 1.7.2 kernel.

Regardless, after I had flashed kernel 1.7.2C it was more stable for me to the point of everything working snapily, even if my battery is the ****z. I definitely thank [MENTION=1617770]bruce2728[/MENTION] for the previous ROM I was running, and now [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] for this newly updated ROM that's just very speedy. (when I have time I shall update my sig)

Where does one recommend I purchase a new battery? If so, which one's have you guys had the best results with?

I'm due for a replacement phone anyways, but I'd like to keep this one operational as a backup/media player.
[HTC Sensation] martix90:
It is a ROM Update, not just a kernel. You can find it in the downloads.

[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION]: Do you have your Toshiba already back? :good:
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Nope, I mailed it today. We have a shared computer at home, so when nobody was here I thought "why not" and made a ROM build.
[HTC Sensation] martix90:
Great. Thanks =) New ROM works.
[HTC Sensation] Schneefalke:
I bought the Anker battery on Amazon. It's the mostly used replacement battery for our Senny, I guess. And I'm very happy with it, while it's cheap! :)

Ok, since this morning I'm facing the same problems with pixel errors as described a few posts before.

I updated to the latest kernel with default options set.

The pixel errors don't disappear after reboot and are also present in recovery.

Strange...:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Schneefalke:
Oh, OK. [emoji1] But now he can be sure, that it's a good choice! [emoji6]

Sounds like the same problem I have. On my device the pixel/display errors are still there, but a little less than at the beginning, when they appeared. The cooler the device is, the more they disappear, I think. Maybe giving the fridge a chance, would be a good try. [emoji6]

[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
Just put the phone into the fridge for ~3hours, let it settle without battery for ~1hour to warm up at room temperature and booted into bootloader.

Et voila, ~70% of the pixel errors where gone:D.

Did as [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] posted and set thermald to strict in aroma, then rebooted rom.

The phone now doesn't get that hot than before and while discovered no noticable performance loss.

Now I'm gonna put it in the fridge over night. Mabe the pixel errors vanish completely.
[HTC Sensation] drspinderwalf:
Holy ****, you guys have some crazy stuff going on with the phone... glad I just have a weakened battery (like everyone else)

Flashed the ROM this morning and it seems to be pretty awesome but it appears that haptic feedback doesn't work for menu presses or the hardware buttons - it works for text input, however.. Is this an intentional setting or is it broken? I cannot find any options for enabling it.

okay i just changed the bootanimation.zip and it didn't work, now i get back the one from the rom zip file (back to stock)

now i do not have any boot animation !!! only black screen

but the rom boots normally

just black screen while the boot animation stage !!!!!!!!

how to get back my boot animation

or give me a nice blabk N red boot animation which is compatible with this ROM

thanX
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
The boot animation your using has probably been compressed in the zip instead of stored which will cause a black/blank screen when booting.

If you repack the zip without compressing all the files, it will work. You can extract the original boot animation from the ROM, /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Here is also the Android L boot animation for the Sensation, if you haven't seen it yet > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2797662
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
The bootanimation has to be in zip file,and if it is not(file name must be "bootanimation.zip")it will not work.But,also,file has to have proper permission and if not,it will also not work.Put the file in /system/media and reconfigure permission as in this picture :

Help about camera

I came from the 4.4.2 Mar16 version rom, and did a full wipe, after installation of 4.4.4 July25 rom, I met the 'can not connect to the camera' issue, I tried twice, both the same issue, but no issue in the 4.4.2 version rom, does anybody know why? thanks.

Hi guys, after flashing last version of this rom I have a strange issue, touchscreen and soft touch buttons don't vibrate on touch..I wiped and reinstalled everything a couple of times but problem is still there..anyone can help me? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] PaulusE:
I'm having issues trying to install this rom. I've already wiped my phone completely (including rom) and flashed ext4 recovery v1.0.0.6 RC2 by issuing the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", however.. As soon as I select "recovery" from my bootloader I get a white screen with the HTC logo in green, loading forever.

I then flashed to TWRP (PG58IMG-twrp-pyramid-2.2.0), according to the start post this recovery can be used as well. This recovery boots but when I try to flash the rom it gives me a "Status 0".

My bootloader gives me the following versions etc:

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or help me towards the right way? :)
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
It needs to be a TWRP recovery with by-name partition support and SELinux support. The only one I know of that was made was the one by shantur, but he removed the download links, so there is no TWRP recovery available with by-name partition & SELinux support. I have updated the OP so that it says to only use 4ext.

Also, when you're installing 4ext for the first time you need to install it using the 4ext recovery updater app. AFAIK 4ext will give you an error if you flash it for the first time by using fastboot.

For now flash TWRP v2.6.3.0 and flash any ROM except for KitKat so that you can install 4ext through its app.
[HTC Sensation] PaulusE:
I've tried to install ext4 recovery from my CM-10.2 mod but it gave me an error when trying to install the app. I thought that just rebooting, wiping everything and trying to install this mod through my previous recovery tool would work as well. Right now I don't have anything other than a bootloader with TWRP. I'll try to install an old rom which used to work and see if it works when I try to install the ext4 recovery updater. Thanks for your reply :)

Also, I have had no idea what "with by-name partition support" meant. I'm quite new to flashing custom roms and stuff so I figured just installing TWRP would be enough.

I'll be back here if I can't manage to install this rom, thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
Last time off topic:p

Update on Pixel errors:

After leaving the phone in the fridge for ~12hours and giving it ~1h before inserting battery and reboot,

I notices that all pixel errors have gone.

While ~2hours of heavy usage (by my son) all is still OK, phone doesn't get hot.
[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] maybe strict thermald should be the default setting when installing rom/kernel.

Though I cannot say that the pixel errors came because of kernel settings.
[HTC Sensation] specter16:

Hi there!

Great Rom! Could someone please tell me where I can find the "dataprotection" -"Datenschutz" app, which is integrated here - when you install an app, android asks how to handle your private data. As I really love this feature, I would like to integrate it in my other Phone (htc one m7). Is it something from Cyanogenmod?

Actually Center was Home screen initially, but as CM removed left swipe Google Now, so first screen is your Home screen.

You want Trebuchat in KitKat!!! :laugh: Google Experience Launcher is way better than Trebuchet, and may be CM team is working on KitKat 4.4 Launcher. :) Trebuchet is gone, its time to adapt GEL. :)
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Use some other launcher. What's the big deal? Trebuchet is a bad launcher anyway. Use Nova launcher if you want middle place for home. But its nice to change with the change.
[HTC Sensation] Falco33:
I would like to know this as well. Is it only the default video player when playing a recorded video or also YouTube and other video apps/sites?
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
I don't want trebuchet, I was wondering why it's not present. But the homescreen selectable only on the fist panel on the left is a dealbreaker here...

I tried nova but, beside the fact that I visually prefer this stock one (in nova I don't like icons size in drawer and the impossibility to exclude widgets panels from swiping in drawer), I don't like it because it's not as smooth as the stock one.

I know that some of the lacking of ideal smoothness is due to the old 3.0 kernel, but still nova is less smooth.

Last thing, did you manage to fix Facebook contact sync? As usual, for some mysterious reason, cm doesn't allow it. There was a hack to enable it back in previous cm versions, did you try it on this kk?

when wiping my device to come back to this rom I did a silly thing :P and wiped my sd card. But after installing supersu again and getting the rom up and running it seems to be smooth sailing.

Only annoying thing at the moment is I can't get my phone to install as a ADB device which means I'm not able to run logcats. Video playback in general doesn't work but YouTube in previous version has done. The app now reboots the device with any attempt to watch a video.

Instagram video delay and static

Dear [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION],

Thank you very much for resolving the issue with the front facing camcorder FC since the July 1st issue. I recently got Instagram and i realized my insta videos are broken.

As in when i release the recording button and hold it back to resume, there is a delay of about a good full second or more before it resumes recording which can really spoil the moment being recorded as some parts are missed.

After recording the video and uploading it to my profile, it can't be viewed as the video is all green static and patterns that play as if its an old broken TV. I'm on the latest 25th build btw

Other than that, there's no known issues, its a lovely ROM
[HTC Sensation] ClipTy:
Thanks for all your great work!

Hi Sultan, just wanted to come on here and say thanks for giving me a terrific KitKat experience on my 2 year old Sensation. The rom is liquid smooth and way less clunky than any Sense rom I've used on here. I also love the fact that you can move your apps to the SD card unlike other "Pure" KitKat roms.

Just wanted to say thanks for the rom and keep up the good work!
[HTC Sensation] PeaterG:

Hi Specter,

I dirty flashed the latest update this morning and did the same as you except...
