One first report:

The new build works fast, smooth and stable!

No screen flickering, anymore!

Battery usage is fine and it will last for the complete working day, without problems!

Stock camera works, just causes FC when switching to FFC in camcorder mode.

Still can't switch off the display for some seconds direct after reboot.

Sometimes he can't load the Play Store. Means, the app starts, but without content. Need to close the app and start it again. -> OK!

Just some apps cause problems, don't know if it's because of the apps, or the ROM:

Battery widget does not refresh, you need to tap it.

K-9 Mail causes FC sometimes when opening or deleting mails and is slow

Aurasm (augmented reality app) causes hard reboot after start

20131229 build with GAPPS from OP.

Thanks [MENTION=4800121]android1234567[/MENTION] for the great work!!! :good: :D

In my opinion this is not good idea revert adreno libs to the old one, should be another way to resolve black screen issues.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I agree, but I tried many different things without success. Even the 3.4 kernel exhibits the same EGL issue with the new libs; I have tried upgrading the GPU driver in the kernel to a newer CAF branch with no luck. Also, the 3.4 kernel uses newer ION drivers, so that can't be the issue either. I'm guessing that the issue is connected to the display HAL; the newer Adreno libs are designed for MR1 (Android 4.2), but our display HAL was designed for MR0 (Android 4.1). I haven't been able to get newer CAF framebuffer drivers working on the 3.0 kernel, so we are stuck with the current legacy display HAL. I fixed up all the errors given in the kernel log for the CAF framebuffer drivers (I was trying to port from the ics_strawberry branch then port from newer branches) but the phone still hangs at the HTC logo. The display driver was re-written correctly for CAF framebuffer drivers, I added the missing clocks, the framebuffer registers and inits successfully, and I updated the mipi parameters in devices-msm8x60 with no luck. Therefore, the only option right now is to revert to the older, MR0 Adreno libs.

If you're interested in trying to get the CAF framebuffer past the HTC logo then I can upload my current progress to GitHub for you.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
What if you try build rom with CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_display-caf or with CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_display, since now we have ion kernel and there is possibility that it will work? Of course with some makefile hacks to be able build for msm8660. IIRC display hal requires kernel headers for build and in the past we had no ion in kernel but now it could do the trick.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I was thinking about that, but I haven't tried it yet. That wouldn't make sense though; with the 3.4 kernel, the CAF kk_3.5_rb1.9 framebuffer drivers I ported successfully boot with the legacy display HAL and run almost without issue. It runs smoothly and the display HAL doesn't spam errors to logcat, so an older CAF framebuffer driver should at least get past the boot splash. The kernel dmesg halts 10 seconds after booting the kernel and boot is completely halted, but I have no idea why because dmesg and logcat are halted as well. A display HAL incompatibility would at least spam logcat with error messages; something is broken or missing in the kernel for CAF framebuffer drivers to work, otherwise boot at the kernel level wouldn't halt.

Building display-caf isn't a problem; all the CAF framebuffer headers and corresponding drivers are in the kernel so it'll compile without any errors or with one or two very simple errors.
[HTC Sensation] Sotepo:
Is there any way to switch AOSP Recent App?
[HTC Sensation] martix90:
I'm not sure, if I understood you correctly, but try pressing the home button for one second. Then you'll see the recently opened apps.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Ok, let's summarize:

- now 3.4 kernel works fine with CAF framebuffer drivers, legacy display hal and old adreno libs?

If I understood correctly only thing needed is the new display hal to get it work with new adreno libs but it will break camera.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Yes. New display HAL should fix the black screen bug; however, the 3.0 ION camera libraries being used with the 3.4 kernel require the legacy display HAL, (probably because the ION camera heap is deprecated and has been removed in newer display HALs, in which case I can fix that easily). I've already fixed up an MSM8960 KitKat display HAL from Google for MSM8660 usage: https://github.com/Team-SennyC2/android_hardware_qcom_display

It compiles and boots. You can build it and test it if you'd like.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
So will you try port new display hal for using with new adreno and 3.4 kernel?

I would like to build and test it by myself but have a very old machine, compilation time over 5 hours kills me :)
[HTC Sensation] Sotepo:
Sorry, bad thread :eek:
[HTC Sensation] Turwaithion:
Thank for quick reply :). All is noted.

New bug:

When using Snapchat video recording function for sending snaps the recording fails every time.
[HTC Sensation] onnaj:
Some bugs i have: 1) battery drain is extremely. Have a new oem battery.

2) some of the settings in the settings menu are still in english while i selected Dutch language.

But the battery drain is a huge problem for me.
[HTC Sensation] ed3nsect:
Found 1 bug: initial flash (full wipe), flashed the rom and sultan kernel (last version). Rebooted the rom, but wifi doesnt works (currently "activating wifi" but it doesnt turn on!). Any tips?

EDIT: reflashed the rom (without sultan kernel) and wi fi works. But I would want install sultankernel cuz it's more stable and make the device faster. Maybe R48.5 has any bugs?
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Made a quick look at the display-caf sources and found that ION_CAMERA_HEAP* is still present but definitions moved from libgralloc/ion_msm.h to linux/ion_msm.h. So I think it's worth to try for you compile rom with 3.4 kernel and display-caf.
[HTC Sensation] Schneefalke:
Battery gone crazy

Now, I had two times instant-off. This is very annoying, because I often take my phone out of the bag and it turned off.

But I had this with albinomans 10.2-ROM, too. So, maybe it's a hardware problem?

Yes, Google gives you a lot of hints like putting a piece of paper between battery and cover, but that doesn't solve the problem.

So what do you think? Hardware? Software? :crying:

And my battery and my widgets do crazy things.

48% battery -> instant-off -> restart -> 56% battery -> no widget refreshs -> manual reboot -> 9% battery -> instant-off -> restart -> 41% battery

What?!? :eek:

Please don't stone me, if it's hardware an off-topic! :cyclops:
[HTC Sensation] r34c7:
I had almost the same issues with an oem battery and bought an Anker one. 1900-something mAh. No problems since then, also great battery life.

You can check out this thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622683 ..fixed the instant-off issues for me but still battery life was extremely bad on any rom.
[HTC Sensation] topjohnwu:
Here I've got a little bug to report:

Since I find the Google search bar quite annoying, I tried to turn it off by pressing menu in home>> settings and untick "show search bar". By doing so the search bar will be hidden. But the REAL issue is that after hiding the search bar, I cannot remove anything that's 1x1 in the homepage, including widgets and shortcuts anymore. And even the larger ones can be removed, there is still no "X remove" column on the top.

BTW, just full wiped and flashed gapps linked in the OP. Please confirm if anyone can reproduce this small issue, thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] r34c7:
i experience this issue too.
[HTC Sensation] xxdarkyxx:
This issue is easy to resolve.. just disable the search bar again go to settings>manage apps>launcher3>clear data :highfive:
[HTC Sensation] Schneefalke:
Thanks, I'll give this paper-solution a try! It's one more position for the paper, I can test! :)

BTW, I already use an Anker 1900mAh, and normally my battery life is very good (16 hours with normal usage). :D

[MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] & [MENTION=2672669]r34c7[/MENTION]

I have this issue, too, that the "remove button" is invisible, but nevertheless I can remove all icons or widgets, I want to. You just need to find the exact position. ;)

[MENTION=5138978]xxdarkyxx[/MENTION]

Will the "remove button" reappear by clearing the launchers data?

Hello,

my microphone is not working! I can hear the other person talking but he can't hear me :(

I flashed this rom yesterday and didn't try calling back then (did a full wipe).

Any way to fix this?

I really need to call my boss, but i can't flash any other rom at the moment (I'm on 2g Internet right now).

Please help me, it's very important!

I'm having a problem with the camera's video recording where I can only record 2 videos then the camera app crashes, starting it again and trying to record a new video does nothing - the camera instantly says its recording (unlike when it DOES work, there is a 5 second pause before recording begins) and when I hit stop recording no file is saved.

I was running CM9.1 official and I did a full wipe before installing the 1225 build, I've since upgraded to the 1229 build.

I've tried with the BANKS GAPPS and the PA GAPPS latest full versions and I get the same problem with each, full wipes done before both.

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] aVe2000:
Same problem here with the 1225 build. Seems to be a known problem if you take a look at former posts.
[HTC Sensation] Sonic_01:
damn should have used the search function first... thanks for letting me know its not just me anyway :)

I'll monitor for an update :)
[HTC Sensation] GizmoTheGreen:
I had similar issues, especially when using flash in camera! it was the oem battery being faulty, you can check by taking it out and see if it's bulging!

after new battery all was fine :)
[HTC Sensation] Schneefalke:
Thanks for the hint, but I had the problem with the original HTC battery and it still appears with the new Anker battery! :p

But I put a piece of card into, as described in the above posted thread and hope, this helps! :D
[HTC Sensation] aVe2000:
to make sure you dont have a hardware issue please do the following steps in exactly this order

1.) switch off your phone, remove battery

2.) Get a pot with warm water at exactly 34 ° Celsius (93.2 F)

3.) put your sensation into the water for 45 minutes (for other devices please follow the other guides here and here)

4.) remove your phone from the water and dry it on a warm but not hot place

5.) fill a bowl or pot with oil. Best tested is olive oil, leave your phone there for another 45 minutes

6.) remove oil from your phone using nail polish remover and a microfibre fabric

7.) insert your battery, start the device

And, most important! Dont take this seriously!

Regards

[MENTION=1988186]aVe2000[/MENTION]

Thank you very very very much for this brilliant and detailed solution! I tried it and you were right! My phone is now working much more smoother and fluently! And swiping over the screen goes much faster! And the most important point, the battery works and works and works, without turning off the device instantly and even without being charged!

Thank you, you are my hero!!!

:D :D :D

I had same problem and like GizmoTheGreen said, especially when using flash in camera. Used to shut off automatically and reboot. Slow different battery percentage upon rebooting. And it was because of bad oem battery. Now I bought Anker battery and have no such issues. I didn't mean its the cause of oem battery but you know, my phone battery life was over. :p You first try to clear battery status from recovery and do two or three full recharge and discharges but don't change or flash any ROMs. If the problem persists, then its surely battery fault and your device needs a new one.

Now I'm facing different issue and don't know which is the cause but I'm not alone here. Upon accepting a incoming call, it disconnects/denies instead and alerts as missed call. The other person hears busy or network not available message.

This is the second phone which lived so long with lots of development and the first was HD2! Long live HTC!
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Display-caf didn't boot on the 3.4 kernel, even though I ported the newest CAF framebuffer code available.
[HTC Sensation] Schneefalke:
Thanks, if the piece of card won't heal my phone, I will try your hint! :)

By the way, it's a nearly new Anker, so if it's his fault, I'll send it back to Amazon! ;)

Another point:

The problem with the not refreshing battery widget, that has been reported before, seems to be not a problem with the ROM.

I checked it on my Nexus 7 with stock KK and it also didn't refresh.

So it seems to be incompatible with KK. Will report it to the App developer! :o

[MENTION=4800121]android1234567[/MENTION] Beautiful work as always.Very fast and stable so far.Heavy testing it for few hours and did not find any major problem.My primary ROM is vipers 5.0 but this one is much more fluid.What I do not like is heating problem which is persistent through all CM versions I tried.

I just dont like the sweat on my hands :D

Keep the good work and thanks for bringing kitkat to our oldie sensation.Regards

Well I dont like to undervolt because I always experience some sort of problems when I undervolt.But I did lower the cpu freq to 1.18GHz.

Anyway as I own 2 of these great phones,one is always powered with CM and one is sense based. ;):beer:

I know on your rom you have a nice menu where you can undervolt (which I've been using at -50mv with no problems) but can't find such a thing on this one

For the people who are using ART, do you guys see a huge difference in speed or performance ? Just a question thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
With 29 build in call audio quality is worse, loudspeaker is not distorted anymore but with earspeaker voice is not clear and quality is very poor. Is it possible to use two audio libs at the same time? Villec2's for earspeaker and the actual ones for loudspeaker?
[HTC Sensation] xxdarkyxx:
I dont know if this will fix it you should try but clearing data will reset your launcher and bring you back to the tips on the home screen and will reset everything

I've got an issue with this rom... When I try to send a MMS, It wont send unless I turn on my data... Even if wifi is connected!
[HTC Sensation] corumuk:
On my 2012 nexus 7 ART seems to have made it a bit more nippy, but I can't say there's any noticeable improvement with the sensation yet. e.g. skype can take anything up to 10 seconds after the tap before anything displays on screen. Most lighter apps seem to load fairly quick though.
[HTC Sensation] ziaulh.ch:
Not much. Its still not recommenced for daily driver by Google. So... it shouldn't be used as daily use.
[HTC Sensation] Schneefalke:
OK, that's what I thought. Than it won't make sense for me to do so, because when hiding the search bar again, it'll be the same state as it is now. And I don't want to configure the launcher once again. ;)

I can live with it, how it works, because I know how to find the 'remove spot'! :D

Opera Mini troubles to open Webpages properly :( there's just a blank page.

Here this is what I mean:

Site loads fine (as seen in the Tab preview) the main Tab seems to be empty tho :( I guess it's related to the faulty graphics library which broke Subway surfers too.

moved them cos I was thinking this is why I can't use ART, but even then - I can't. Tried 4 or 5 different gapps ;/ All the same - FC's from almost every app, or just android.phone. Once it was working, for 3 minutes, but with "too small space" notification on ribbon, then FC...
