I don't understand, everyone says that this is damn smooth and fast, I personally find it slow and very laggy, laggier than 4.3 roms (and this makes no sense!)

I flash rom, gapps and kernel just to enable s2w, everything is leaved stock

when I tried a non-ION enabled rom it was faster than light! So I think that ION beaks performance...right?

is the rom ok and is actually laggy or I am missing something?
[HTC Sensation] markNOOB:
Thank you. Can you answer to the other question please?
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
Does fairly frequent swapping of batteries that have different mAh sizes affect this? Cause we have several batteries that have from 1520mah to 1900mah, should I try and stay with the same battery size?
[HTC Sensation] cutejerk420:
It will not affect it.

Honestly I personally haven't done an ota update on this rom before. I always come here to check for update.
[HTC Sensation] denzphee:
Try using the kernel that comes with it. There are a lot of bug fixes and optimizations that are dependent on the kernel that comes with the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Which was your previous rom? That depends with which rom you are comparing. If you are comparing with Sense rom, it will not be able to compete well. Especially with Sense 5. Post your batt stat with screen on time. Gsam is best to observe.

I personally cant stay on any Kitkat rom because of battery. I get 30% less than Sense 5 ROM with same usage. So that matters.
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
I did this 2 nights ago, turned if off and went to bed with it plugged in. I woke up early to find it was green, so then I turned it on and used it the rest of the day only for the sane issue of charge speed reduction occurring that evening. :-\

I'm using a stock charge base, but I bought a 6ft FRiEQ cable as 4ft isn't cutting it. I'll try charging a different battery tonight and, if the problem really is there like I think it is with other batteries, then I'll try with the stock cable.
[HTC Sensation] throcker:
but actually I always flash the kernel that comes with last rom...clean flash...I don't know...
[HTC Sensation] real_sl4cker:
This morning wake alarm occurred but now the clock in notification bar keeps showing the same old time since 2 hours, see screenshot from 10:00 (it's still the same).

Also yesterday evening I saw the clock not being updated for some time while the phone was lying around idle. After waiting for about 30 secs after unlocking it updated.

Hey guys,

Im a newcomer who is not so good about all. I have CM10.1 on my sensation xe. it is pretty slow and battery life is worse than stock rom. I want to try CM11 hope it would be better. I need full instructions for beginners. any link is appreciated

thx in advance

[HTC Sensation] resinis:
same here. cm10 was never spectacular, and cm11 was a lot better but no matter what rom i try the battery life is NOT the same as the stock rom.

I also got sick of not having HDMI or a reliable camera. Sure, the camera in the kit kat roms works, but it just seemed like there would always be a glitch when i really needed it, causing me to have to reboot the phone before i can take a picture. yuck.

i finally gave up 3 days ago and went back to viper 4.0 rom. breath of fresh air!!! phone sits on my bed all night now, without being plugged in, and only loses 8% battery over night. and, when i go to use my camera, not only does it work it has exceptional quality.

I would definitely like to go back to kit kat, its smoother and better audio quality... but until the battery life is brought up to par with stock roms i just cant do it.

It's best to always give me a log when there's a random reboot because it's always possible for the kernel to have more than 1 bug :p Your last reboot had something to do with the cryptography drivers but this one is pointing to JRCU as the source of the issue. There are a lot of WiFi-related lines in the stacktrace, but I'll swap out the RCU in the kernel from JRCU and see if that helps (as JRCU was at the top of the stacktrace).

Phone battery drains when screen is off and being idle. So, it reduce phone's standby time.

In vipers 5, it work long time but, processing speed is somewhat slow.

It's a strange thing regarding battery life.

I have had it charged to 100% this night and upon using it to check a few websites it's down to 82% already.

Could be what's running; Skype, a timetable app for college, Facebook, a live wallpaper that doesn't take too much, dashclock...

Perhaps removing the last two will give me a tiny bit more, whereas Skype is running as much as whatsapp.

Edit: after typing this message it degraded down to 71%, time for a new battery i suppose.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Where is your proof that the phone is not going into deep sleep? Any battery statistics that indicate that the phone is not deep sleeping?

If the phone cannot go into deep sleep then how did my Sensation go into deep sleep for 26 hours and drain only 30% battery?
[HTC Sensation] sudgai:
I checked on trickster mod . you can check it on here.

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Don't be quick to blame something that you know nothing about. ION is a memory manager that fixes many graphical glitches (try using Google Maps 7 on that PMEM ROM you tried), significantly increases graphical performance, and allows us to use newer Adreno graphics libraries (for an even greater graphical performance increase). Randomly blaming ION for your performance issues is like saying that your car's engine isn't performing well because you put good quality gas into your car. ION is superior to PMEM.

Most of the system apps included in KitKat would not function without ION (such as Browser).

Some system-based animations are far smoother on 4.3 ROMs than 4.4 ROMs (such as the notification bar animation and Quick Settings animation); however, I felt that overall raw performance on 4.4 was greater than 4.3 (such as the time needed to launch apps). If you want more performance then play around with the settings available in the kernel Aroma installer. I made the stock settings in this ROM battery-friendly since everybody is always complaining about battery life (stock CPU max frequency is 1404MHz; on most ROMs it's 1512MHz).
[HTC Sensation] cmisak:
Mine is a doing something similar. Charges all night take it off the charger instantly it's 97%. Try researching battery reset in recovery and/or letting the phone die and fully charge 3 times. I'm assuming you checked nothing is running that uses a lot of resources like a camera or GPS.

Download Wakelock Detector from the Play Store and let it run for a day, then check it to see what's preventing your phone from going into deep sleep.

Bluetooth

I searched the tread and didn't find anything for skipping music or skipping audio. Curious if there is any known issues or recommendations for kernal tweaks that could avoid this. I blame the car or my setup more than anything. Calls are okay, music via Bluetooth to the home stereo and jeep fine Toyota... choppy.

Any help is greatly appreciated. PS my signature is a bit out of date. :)
[HTC Sensation] markNOOB:
Whay is default CPU speed in this ROM?

If I underclock to 1Ghz i will do have greater battery life?
[HTC Sensation] slabongrade:
OMG! does all phones has those glitches with CM11? Ive just surprised! heard so many good comments before so still wanna try flashing, you know. I would go back to stock rom if it does not works properly.

But one thing! Audio was never better and never will be on CM comparing to sense rom. And why dont you use sense 5? Best batt of all!

[HTC Sensation] throcker:
many thanks for your reply, I was just asking why (just for a case) all the ION roms on my device are performing poorly...but I didn't say that it surely was the cause of my lags and stuff...just because everyone says that rom is working amazingly, I wanted to clear this dubt...sorry if I look like a complainer

anyway, I can't manage to get acceptable performance on my sensation with this rom, and for me, very strange, is slower and laggier than less-optimized old roms...I know how set things on kernels and roms, I had many devices and passed lot of time on them...I'm thinking that partly could be because of the uksm that I set everytime on the kernel...

thank you for your work, today OP was a good guy! ,lml

Does anyone else experience strange sensor/GPS behavior while using Google maps navigation?

Driving long curves it sometimes thinks I'm driving straight forward:

I swear I've been following the blue line :D

Doing a short swipe on the screen and then pushing the navigation button fixes it till the next curve.

I use the original HTC Sensation car mount.

Sometimes I experience quite laggy overall behavior while navigating.

Have you calibrated your compass ?

In case you don't know how to do this : Launch maps, put your phone straight in front of you and walk making some 8 (ppl might think you have gone nuts ;)).

When done if you switch to compass oriented mode the map should be aligned with the surroundings.
[HTC Sensation] sudgai:
Phone goes on sleep mode when, used launcher 3(which is given by [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] in rom ) and gives good battery life.

Otherwise, launcher which given in gapps is keep Google search runs in background.

That cause to avoid phone to go in deep sleep. So, it result in heavy battery drain.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
So with me, I found that location reporting was causing tons of wake locks. So I setup Llama with secure settings to keep location completely off when I don't need it, but when an app that needs GPS to function turns on, Llama enables "device only location" for the duration of that app. This has greatly reduced the amount of time the phone has been awake while the screen is off.

But still, when the screen is awake while off it often goes 1.0 - 1.4 GHz and really drains the battery, how can I limit the screen off frequency?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I'll just hack the cpufreq driver and make it lower the CPU max freq when the screen is off to a value I choose. I need to go through the kernel and test the various governors and features to see if they're causing wakelocks. Sebastian seems to have had good success with not adding many kernel features (ex. no complaints of sweep2wake causing problems), so I'm considering cutting down on the available features or making them more battery-friendly somehow.
[HTC Sensation] galaxyfreak:
Make S2W disable when its dark by proximity sensor
[HTC Sensation] szotaa:
Thats a great idea, I would love too see a bareboned kernel with as little features as possible. I bet it would make it faster, more battery friendly adn stablier since more features means more bugs. Keep up the good work !
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
Sounds good!

I haven't used Sweep2Wake since I found Gravity Screen on the play store. Now my screen automatically wakes up whenever I pull it out of my pocket, stays awake while I'm holding it, and goes to sleep within 2 seconds of putting it face down or in my pocket. It's great! :D Not much of a battery hog at all, depending on which features are enabled. :)
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
I'd actually like to vote to keep S2W in. I find it very helpful while I am on the road. if my phone goes blank, a simple swipe wakes it up for me instead of trying to push a button.

Also, if you don't want features like S2W, you can simply disable it in Aroma. It's not it's forced upon you. You have that option which is, IMHO, what makes these devices better than anything IOS can throw. Flexibility!
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
I'd like you to disable s2w just to see the backlash of people whining about the useless feature being taken away!

But in all seriousness I think you should let it go, a leaner kernel is definitely a better, faster kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Heh, that'd be funny to watch.

It's true that a leaner kernel is a faster kernel; however, you're only going to see a real performance difference if the kernel's size is changed significantly (such as cutting its size in half). Sweep2wake is absolutely tiny compared to the rest of the kernel, so size isn't my main concern with Sweep2wake. My main concern with Sweep2wake is the possibility that there are major bugs in it that are causing annoying problems. Show-p worked on the Sensation a long time ago; his code today works much better than it did 3 years ago when he was last working on the Sensation. For example, the 3-phase thermal driver that he made had some major flaws in it that I had to fix (ex. max frequency would always be restored to 1512MHz on both cores after thermal throttling was completed). I don't have the time to go learn about how his Sweep2wake works nor about how the input drivers in the kernel work, so if Sweep2wake is causing problems even while it's disabled then I'll remove it.

[HTC Sensation] sudgai:
If they haven't permission Then app is won't runs for long time in background. Because, it cause huge battery drain and loss speed.

You can set it for multitask by kernel aroma installer. In that select which type of multitasking speed you want .
[HTC Sensation] migui0401:
Thanks, which version of the kernel is advisable?
[HTC Sensation] sudgai:
Maybe you get advise from sultanxda. Btw, u can configure all sultan's kernel according to your specification of multitasking. Use aroma installer of kernel. There's many customise options to make kernel of desired specs.
[HTC Sensation] migui0401:
Thanks man, I gonna try.
[HTC Sensation] Firen:
I like s2w very much even it is drain battery more. It this one feature that keeps me from changeing my backcover^^. And beside that it's look really cool when you awake/lock your phone.

Guys do you use SuperSU? I tried to change stock superuser with SuperSU, flashing the zip of latest build from recovery, but the system after a couple of minutes hangs. Do you have a clue?
[HTC Sensation] sudgai:
I have face such problems with SYG. You may not change the superuser but, you can update it by playstore. If you want to change superuser then, replace in Rom zip file. Then, check weather it runs or not.

In my case, that works with SYG. I do not confirm about sensation.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Ok I somehow solved disabling root, installing SuperSU from playstore and reenabling root again. Now finally I can convert system apps to user app with titanium backup. With stock superuser it wasn't possible.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
New build uploaded :) Battery life should be somewhat improved.
[HTC Sensation] HaYaHa:
I already flashed the latest build with the latest kernal, but touch to focus isn't working I already cleaned the cache of the camera app but with no results.

Video is also broken. I can't watch to videos on the internet, youtube app and instagram. Could antbody also confirm this?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Video is not broken and touch-to-focus is working in camcorder mode with the included camera app. I tested everything before I uploaded it. Clear data for Camera2, not cache.
[HTC Sensation] bastei:
Wow! Didn't expect this to come! So no custom patching for every new version anymore! Thanks a lot! ;) :good:

So I better edit my how-to-encrypt post. Does the new ROM also handle /data partition resizing?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Isn't this all that's needed?: https://github.com/sultanxda/androi...mmit/bb3be8be98db2fffb55c40b7c626946a79263434

I noticed that someone else did the same thing and I didn't see any other commits that changed the /data partition's size: https://github.com/Blefish/android_...mmit/7bebd6de4f1ad1f65efd0e3d5b53125c1ecd668e

If encryption is still broken then I'm willing to fix it :) Unless it always requires a special procedure. (I wasn't able to test it because I've been testing battery drain)
[HTC Sensation] bastei:
I think without resizing the partition I was not able to encrypt, even after setting encryptable and length in the fstab. I may check this again.

Since I'm not an Android pro I don't know how and where all the partitioning stuff is taking place. Is the recovery doing this? Then the ROM can't influence the initial partition size anyway, am I right?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
https://github.com/sultanxda/android_device_htc_pyramid/blob/cm-11.0/BoardConfig.mk#L52

/data needs to be shrunk by 16KB, correct?
[HTC Sensation] bastei:
That's right, yes.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Did you have to resize /data every time you flashed a ROM update?
[HTC Sensation] bastei:
No, only once! For ROM updates I only had to alter the fstab.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Then that means everything we can do from the ROM's side has been done as of the Feb 8 build. I'll see if I can make a flashable zip to automate the /data partition re-sizing.
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
With Feb 8 I seem to have lost my 5th column and row and I can't figure out how to get them back. Any help? :(
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
I don't remember this ever being a feature of this ROM except if you use a different launcher. Did you check?
[HTC Sensation] marcjw:
Yes. On previous version e.g. Jan 29, a press and hold on a blank area of the screen would allow you to go to the Screen Settings where I could change the number of columns and rows. Performing that same sequence now takes you to the main Settings page. I can't find where to change the default 4x4 columns and rows from there.
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
With Gravity Screen, if you have proximity mode enabled, all you need to do is wave your hand in front of the screen. :)

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Flashed the new kernel, (dont think I need to flash the ROM update, no Significant changes for me) I saw you took out the min free selection page, and the CPU "balance/balance+/etc" page, and the mid level CPU speed selection page. Not sure what else is gone. Hope these end up being good changes! I usually chose default anyway so not much of a difference. We'll see how it goes.
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Thanks for the tip! Because of this feature, is there a battery drain using the app?
[HTC Sensation] Erwin65:
I am also very curious to this answer.

I am now running ROM with the 3.4 kernel version of Jan. 26th where this is possible.

I tried the Nightly version of the senny C2 team and could not find this feature.

Hopefully its is hidden and can it be changed somehow because 4 by 4 icons is not much.

(also the google search bar might be removed as far as I am concerned) ;)
[HTC Sensation] Hydro333D:
latest update

A couple of questions .Does this rom supports radio fm application ?Also is the audio got any better than previous editions (louder)?The previous rom is good enough and nice job as i saw.what do you think on the latest, something i am missing ?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Mark376:
Because Launcher3 has been replaced by trebuchet which was not fully featured yet.
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
If you go in settings > launchers there you have your installed launchers. Just select the one you're using and click on settings on the bottom of the screen.
[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
According to the dev only if you enable "wake screen by motion" is there any battery drain from the app. It doesn't use much power at all if that's disabled.

One of my favorite features is keep screen on by motion; when I'm holding the phone the natural movement from my hand keeps the screen awake as long as the proximity sensor isn't covered! :D So I have my screen timeout at 30 sec instead of 1 minute like I used to. :)

Though if you have a delayed lock it has issues with that. I fixed it by using delayed lock with the help of Llama and Secure settings though so I'm good with that! :D My phone is awesome!!!
[HTC Sensation] markNOOB:
