Hi,

did you succeed in using your chromecast with this rom? I've tried many ways even with http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 but only video and photo streming work well. Mirror doesn't work at all or work bad. :crying:

Mirror works a little with the app "Screen Streaming Mirroring" downloaded from Google Play but it crashes very often and the mirror delay is too big (6-7 seconds and even 9-10 when using internet browser). :(

Does anyone had more luck? :fingers-crossed:

Can I reply-all to a mass text?

I received a text from a friend who included multiple people. I don't see a reply-all option anywhere, and my reply only went to the person who sent the text. I don't seem to have that option any more, am I missing it? I am running cm-11-20141207-Sultan-pyramid
[HTC Sensation] murchz:
Hey guys, I've been experiencing an issue with my wifi connection since my last router firmware update.

Basically every other devide in my house (including other android smartphones) are able to see and connect to my home wifi (router: sitecom wlm 5600 X5 n600). The only device that can't is my HTC Sensation on Sultan's Rom (22 jan 2015 build). I know you're probably pointing at my router's firmware update for the problem, but I think it's not that: currently my phone can't see wifi and the router is set to automatically select the wifi channel. But if I manually set the wifi channel (even to the same channel it was set on automatic mode) then my smartphone sees it and can connect to it.

But if I switch back to automatic channel selection on my router config, my smartphone goes back to not being able to see the wifi network (which is b/g/n at 2.4Ghz so it should be compatible with my HTC phone).

But the reason I'm assuming is a phone-related issue (and router) is that I had the same problem of not being able to see/connect to my wifi from my Senny (and I didn't update the firmware at that time) when I was on a previous build from Sultan...luckily enough an update of the ROM came out right after and as soon as I updated the ROM (full wipe), I was able to connect to my wifi, without changing any setting of my router. And I'm pretty confident that If I'll update to the 18th Feb build the problem will disappear..(but i'm too keen on updating because of the battery drain issue....)

(BTW, I prefer to keep my router wifi channel selection on automatic mode, 'cuz I've experienced some slowdowns if I set it manually...maybe I'm not selecting the best channel even though I used wifi analyzer to find the channel with the least interferences)

So does anyone have a solution how to fix this?

( Sultanxda , any ideas? However, if you release a battery drain fix (pleaaaase :D ), then I would gladly update to the latest ROM version, which will probably get my wifi issue solved as well

)

MAC address changed after upgrade?

Hi all

Not a major issue but just upgraded from Vodafone UK stock ROM to cm-11-20150215-pyramid.

Everything went smoothly but after the upgrade could not connect to my MAC filtered Wifi because the phone's MAC addess had changed.

I don't think it's the random MAC that apparently gets used when the kernel doesn't know what MAC to use because it's only the last octet changed from 74 to 4D!

As far as I can see the original configured MAC address has not changed - the values in /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 (which match the old address) remain unchanged so I don't understand where the new address has come from!

Is this expected behaviour? And where does the new MAC address come from?

I couldn't find any mention of this particular behaviour anywhere but feel free to point me in the right direction if I missed it.

Thanks

Rich
[HTC Sensation] nejodagreat:
Hi,

I would need my Sensation to immediately start the OTG connection (OTG will always be connected) after reboot. My HTC One X can do that, but on Sensation (with ROM and kernel from this thread) nothing happens. Is there anything I can do about this?
[HTC Sensation] wl03355609:
Some problem

it's seems that when I connect to my computer and I choose mass storage on button and the phone crashed....

And one more when I was calling someone I put my phone to my ear and when i finish my talking I can't hang up:(((

(Sorry for my poor english:()
[HTC Sensation] webmasteryoda:
Really nice work...

I am using this for some time and its great!
[HTC Sensation] skaterchy:

Btw the link for gapps doesn't work for me:

[HTC Sensation] vag7os22:
Hi there and congratulations for the great work.

I have two questions

I have a Sensation XE

I flashed this rom and i noticed two things. First, the usable memory is about 620mb (i have 1.15gb in my phone why it does not use it all ?) and second, the camera seems not to focus well and is a little blurry when i try to take a photo.

Can you help me with these please ?
[HTC Sensation] andy hall:
Don't confuse RAM with Data, the XE only came with 768mb RAM so 620 free is excellent.

The Camera on CM11 is not fantastic, have an experiment with some others, I have had some success with Google Camera but out of preference use Geek Camera. Also the focal length fo teh sensation starts at about 30cm from the phone.
[HTC Sensation] acidglory:
When somebody calls me my phone always hang...cannot touch the end button to end the call...screen cant touch...

Any explanation?

Tq
[HTC Sensation] semo.pz:
Great ROM but I have one major and one minor issue.

1) The light sensor does not always work

It usually works right after a restart. When it stops working, the screen does not turn off during calls when phone is against the ear.

Also, the backlight does not adjust automatically. To verify, I go to Settings -> Display -> Brightness -> Cog icon -> Adjust

When everything works OK, the "Current light sensor value (lux)" goes down when the sensor is covered. When it doesn't work (most of the time), there is either a) no movement and the value stays the same regardless of the ambient light level or b) there is no value at all (even the label "Current light sensor value" dissipaters)"

2) the minor issue is that the search button doesn't work.

Does anyone else experience these issues and have you found a fix?
[HTC Sensation] _MsG_:
I sometimes encounter the problem that certain wifi networks won't show up, whereas my friends HTC Sensation with the same rom does see them. What radio you guys using?
[HTC Sensation] Huebabbel:
Voltage issues

Almost everything is working fine for me with this ROM - WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile data, stability, free RAM, ... except for the battery.

When I take the phone off the charger it drops to 60% within the first few minutes of usage, and down to 12% after a few minutes more. Not in some continuous way, but in large instant steps between some percentage values. It stays a while at 3% and then suddenly shuts itself down at 0%. I don't have this problem with other ROMs, i.e. CM 11 3.4 by ivanich or cm 10.2 by Albinoman887.

I've tested this with radio 11.69.3504.00P and 11.76A.3504.00P. Is there anything I've missed, anything I should try? I'd really like to stick to this ROM as it's the most stable one for me. Maybe the voltage display is skewed, as it drops quite quickly to 3.3v and lower?
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
Try kernel v1.8.3
[HTC Sensation] Huebabbel:
Thanks a lot, that seemingly did it.

Well, running the full Kraken Javascript benchmark didn't drain a single percent of battery (contrary to usually getting me down to 3%), so I'm still a bit cautious whether the display is now correct or not, but it's going into the right direction :)

I had already checked the changelog for battery related changes some time ago but couldn't find anything.

Running with Kernel 1.8.3 now - I'll monitor the battery closely during the next charge cycles (before the kernel change it took like 12 hours to fully charge the battery)
[HTC Sensation] Huebabbel:
Hm no, it just was stuck at a higher percentage for a while, maybe due to being charged in recovery mode beforehand during the ROM & kernel update. After a regular charge cycle it still goes down rather quickly, maybe not as quick as before, and is then stuck at 3% for a few hours until it shuts down. On top of that the CPU no longer enters deep sleep due to the SystemUpdateManager. Charging is still really slow.

[Update] Phone goes back to sleep now after using the Wakelock tool.
[HTC Sensation] meph02:
thanks Sultan for this ROM, i have your ROM on OnePlus One and it's amazing, my old HTC Sensation XE bug with rom Viper, i'm going to try this ROM,
[HTC Sensation] murchz:
Hey [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] , holidays are over (sadly...)..any chances to see that (one last) release with battery drain fix that you talked about a while ago? regardless of your reply, thank you once again for all your work and all the effort you've put into this, it is very much appreciated!
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Wow, people are still using the Sensation? And wow, people are still using my ancient ROM on the Sensation?

My friend recently needed a phone, so I gave him one of my old Sennys, and before I gave it to him I played with the kernel to try and fix the battery drain. That kernel is attached to the bottom of this post, and it may or may not have the battery drain fixed.
[HTC Sensation] noidman123:

The same goes for me. I was forced to bring it back from its drawer since my Moto G failed me.

It's awesome to see how the Senny's working great.
[HTC Sensation] AlexLink89:
I have no plans to change it since it's enough for calling, sms/whatsapp and some internet surfing. And those CM11 roms works great!
[HTC Sensation] murchz:
Wow! thank you so much Sultan, you're so kind! I'll flash it and report back here to let you know if there's some improvement on the battery side!

BTW, of course people still use sensation, I guess mostly thanks to your ROM which prolonged the phone's life by making it more reliable and yet still capable of running most of the newest apps!

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] SlideR270295:
Just installed it. Anyone know why every HTC app says it's not compatible ? It's says it wants 4.4 or higher and this rom is 4.4.x. even when i download the apk, put it on my device , install it (installs fine) but when i start it ,same thing.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
HTC apps are not compatible with aosp based roms. They need sense framework.
[HTC Sensation] SlideR270295:
Ah , i see, thanks for the fast answer.
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
Been using the kernel with the latest build 20150214 for almost s week now. Everything runs perfectly for me and battery drain is gone. I personaly prefer the 3.0 kernel.

It would be even greater if there was a build with the latest changes (e.g. stagefright bug, see ivanich kk rom).:thumbup:
[HTC Sensation] Alfhw:
Are you sure that your battery drain is gone?:confused: I've installed the new 2.0.3 kernel on the last rom but for me the battery drain is still the same! :crying:

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Thanks a lot for this kernel! I've installed it on the last rom but unfortunately the battery drain is still the same! :crying: Do you think you can try again to fix the kernel? Your rom is very stable and fast and this is why a lot of people are still using it. But the battery drain is killing us... Please... :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
You can try kernel v1.8.3.

With this kernel there's slightly better battery performance, at least for me.

Also did you check what's draining your battery?

Use a tool like wakelockdetector to check it.
[HTC Sensation] Alfhw:
I already tried the rom with 1.8.3 kernel some months ago but the battery drain was about the same. I will try wakelockdetector but most apps I use are the same I used last year when I still had the stock HTC rom and there was no battery drain.

I hope that Sultanxda can find the problem.
[HTC Sensation] artur3004:
If I plug an USB OTG cable in, my phone instantly freezes and reboots after I unplig it. Newest 4ext recovery and Rom, wiped data. Cable works fine in another Smartphone. Need help pls
[HTC Sensation] murchz:
Hey [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] ! Sorry it took me so long to report back. Anyways, been using kernel 2.0.3 for a while now and seems like battery drain is even worse (less than 4-5hours with normal phone usage, no wakelocks detected and I almost never use GPS, unless strictly necessary..also, while in flight mode battery drops even by 10-15%! while this wasn't the case before flashing new version of kernel and rom), i use my phone mostly to chat (only few calls and not even every day) / read articles (i don't play games on my phone).

In addition to that, i'm experiencing random shut downs (not even reboots) and poor connection, all issues I've NEVER experienced before. I gotta say that when I flashed kernel 2.0.3 I also flashed latest version of this rom (february 15th, 2015, as the following 2 versions were only kernel updates), because until then I was on January 22th version and with that version I only experienced minor battery drain (which I hoped kernel 2.0.3 would fix, but it actually made it way worse..both in terms of battery life and phone "stability")...

I was also thinking: how about restoring INTELLIDEMAND governor? That worked pretty well and I think by assessing gpu usage and then adjusting processor frequency accordingly it led to less resources waste than this governor that boost 1 processor as soon as you touch the screen for more than few seconds: If i'm using whatsapp or reading an article, of course i'm gonna touch the screen for more than few seconds, but i don't necessarily need a processor frequency boost, right? Perhaps, intellidemand governor was battery at managing and assessing different phone usage than this current kernel...what's your opinion?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I guess just go back to the v1.8.3 kernel then. I'm not working on the Sensation anymore, so I'm not going to try debugging this stuff. I only posted what I had :/
[HTC Sensation] murchz:
And i am very much grateful and greatly appreciate that you did share what you had! So, I'll take your advise and go back to 1.8.3 kernel ;) Thanks a lot for your kind reply and for keeping an eye on this thread every now and then!

[HTC Sensation] rashad900:
So exciting

Its so exciting to have on board powered OTG supporting kernel. But I'm getting some problem with this ROM. I didn't flash your given Gapps as link is saying that content is not found. so I flashed different Gapps downloaded from Open Gapps (Pico package). Now when I try to enable Search panel in Home screen setting, an error msg arrives saying "Unfortunately Trebuchet stopped working". This problem is so sever that only way to get rid of this is clearing data in Trebuchet. Second problem is Adb on my pc shows an error msg that "Device is offline". Also when I enable USB tethering my pc shows no internet connection.
[HTC Sensation] ReyeMe:
Crashing

For me this ROM keeps crashing (and then phone reboots) few seconds after boot (sometimes I can get to launcher home screen). Also sound does not work.
[HTC Sensation] murchz:
Hey guys, been using this ROM for more than a year with no issues but today mobile internet suddenly stopped working. There's the H/3G/E icon as if mobile data was working as usual, but it actually doesn't work: can't load any webpages, can't use any app like whatsapp... On the mobile signal bars I can see a little arrow pointing up showing up every couple of seconds, just as if it was normally trying to upload something (no downward-downloading arrow though)... Wi-fi works ok and I can make regula phone calls...Any ideas what may have caused it / how to fix it?

I'm on 20150214 build, using [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] (btw Sultan, any ideas on this suddent issue?) 2.0.2 kernel.

Thanks in advance for the support!i

UPDATE: managed to fix the issue: after also checking with my carrier for any network-related problems, I've cleared cache and dalvik and kept the phone offline (either on flight mode or shutdown) for a night and the they after, once I turned it back on, mobile data was working...
[HTC Sensation] Splder:
the pico version of open gapps does not include google search i'm not 100% sure but maybe installing google search should fix your problem

[HTC Sensation] preficks:
No firewall logs available

I can't seem to get any firewall app to display logs.

For example, AFWall+ shows "log disabled" despite my enabling logs. Droidwall logs usually show the app name and the number of blocked packets. With this ROM, when connecting outbound with a blocked app, all it shows is "log file empty" despite logging being enabled.

I gave both firewall apps root access as I was testing them. Is there something I need to do on this ROM to enable logging?

EDIT:

I ran

$> iptables -S droidwall-reject

and got

-N droidwall-reject

-A droidwall-reject -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable

There should be a line that says

-A droidwall-reject -j LOG --log-prefix "[AndroidFirewall] " --log-uid

So that suggests it's disabled in the kernel, though I have no idea why...
