swap

Ok, I've tried to make swap, but still doesn't seem to work. [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] does this ROM support it?

Here's what I did (file in init.d)

busybox mount -o remount,rw /vendor/firmware/misc

anybody has battery drain unormaly!! plz plz fix :(:(:(:(:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
No drain here, battery life is quite good. Check your apps!
[HTC Sensation] abddroid:
i dont have that much apps....4 or 5 apps ...i tried du battery booster but no effect

maybe my battery needs a replace.

but thanks anyways
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
Just after flashing a new rom, battery life should not be judged.

Before buying a new battery you may try as follows:

- with the phone switched on, charge battery to 100% + 1 hour

- unplug and switch off phone

- plug charger and charge till led is green + 1 hour

- unplug, boot and after device has booted switch it off

- charge for another hour

This all sounds quite weird, but for me it helped.

If this does not work for you, battery is dead.
[HTC Sensation] abddroid:
Battery life was good on my last ROM (virtuous s4x)

I flashed this ROM cuZ its very great and fastfast.

But anyways thanks...I'll try your thread :) :)
[HTC Sensation] toraborich:
I have problem with battery drain. According to battery stats program android system keeps the phone always awake and this is where battery drain came from. Does anyone else has this problem or it is just me?
[HTC Sensation] abddroid:
my battery drains fast too. :( couldnt find any solution :/
[HTC Sensation] _MsG_:
I sometimes encounter that my screen is staying on all the time, instead of going off, that's the only problem I sometimes have. Besides that the battery life is very nice.
[HTC Sensation] scanferr:
I had that issue right after I flashed the ROM. It was the default Browser that was draining battery a lot. As i don't use it, I just disabled the app and it's fine now.
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
1st

After changing roms battery may behave weird.

This usually vanishes after a complete cycle of disgarge/charge.

2nd

Using an app like wakelockdetector or betterbatterystats (there are some more on playstore)

helps to detect the battery drainer.

I get good battery results with some of the kk roms here (tried almost all).

Sometimes after changing roms or restoring backups my battery drives nuts.

For example phone shuts off after waking up device from deap sleep.

Or percentage drops from 70% to 30% within a few minutes just reading this forum.
[HTC Sensation] toraborich:
I cant post screenshot from which it is clear that the battery drain is from android system process. That process keeps the phone always awake preventing him from going to deep sleep.
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
Android-System process contains a lot of subsequent tasks such as

- DHCP

- GPSLocationProvider

- ConnectivityService

- AlarmManager

...

So you should check further, what's draining your battery
[HTC Sensation] toraborich:
The question is how? Wakelock detector doesn't show anything or at least i dont understand what does it show. I dont see anything strange in wakelock detector except that phone doesn't go to deep sleep.
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
Just tab on the process and you will see more
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
There's a bug in the current version of the input boost driver that causes your minfreq to get stuck at the boost frequency (1134MHz) if you try changing your minfreq while the CPU is boosted. Until I upload a fixed build (and assuming that this is the problem you're having), don't use the 'set on boot' setting from Performance settings and don't use an app to change your CPU's maxfreq (as the app will likely change your minfreq as well, creating the bug).

Also, the bug can occur in reverse if you try changing your maxfreq while the CPU is throttled by the thermal driver. Your maxfreq would get stuck at the throttle freq forever (causing bad performance) unless you manually changed it after the CPU was unthrottled.
[HTC Sensation] bovineuniversity:
Google voice blocking texts...

First off, this was my first time installing a custom mod, and after reading through the labyrinth of tutorials for things that don't work on my Sensation (ICS) I finally figured it all out and the upgrade was a breeze.

Essentially I did these steps:

put the rom and gapps on my sdcard

unlocked bootloader from HTCDEV

did the wire trick to get S-OFF

installed 4ext recovery (via fastboot, because I didn't have root)

booted into 4ext

did a wipe+cache+delvik

installed this rom and gapps

rebooted.

I have to say I love it! My Sensation 4G (US T-Mobile) is alive again. It was getting so slow and I was afraid I'd have to just buy a new phone which I didn't want to do.

But I couldn't get T-mobile vocemail app to configure, so I installed Google Voice (which I had used in the past, so it was actually all configured). But then my texts woudn't go through. I uninstalled GVoice, and they worked again. Re-installed, they broke. (Google voice is still my vmail, and I get notifications via email, but no app to check them)

Has any one else experienced this, and do you have a solution? I thought maybe it could be a configuration, but I can't get it figured out.

Oh, and newb question.... I stil have S-OFF but not root. I was afraid to flash a root img for fear of mucking up a nicely working phone. I dont' think I have a reason to root now. I should be able to S-ON without any problems. Is it a bad practice to leave it S-OFF? I am not planning to flash any other ROMs soon.

Thanks for this great resource and all your hard work!
[HTC Sensation] danishaznita:
Hi , sorry couldnt answer your first question , but to root , you can just flash SuperSu v2.0.zip , root doesnt break anything if youre in custom rom , and its okay to leave your S-off
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
Custom roms are already rooted, so no need to flash supersu
[HTC Sensation] bovineuniversity:
Ah, I wondered about that, and just verified it. I had tried it after s-off but before custom ROM. Supersu requires root but a lot of "guides" said to install supersu to get root. Just takes some patience to sort it out. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] karbonariusz:
Sorry for this question, but what is the correct order to install ROM, kernel and Gapps?

And S-OFF is required to have this ROM?
[HTC Sensation] Ch3vr0n:
1. ROM

2. Gapps

Kernel is optional, included within ROM unless a new kernel comes out after rom. Then it's ROM > kernel > Gapps

S-off is not required if you have a recovery like 4ext that supports smartflash for devices with s-on. Though s-off is easier.

Noobie Here Desperate for Help

Alright you guys, this is my first time! Help would be much appreciated. I unlocked bootloader already via HTCDev. Then I downloaded 4ext and busybox on my phone. I downloaded and uploaded the ROM and GApps onto the SD card and put it in the phone. I also did a wipe of Data and Cache. Now when I open the 4ext it says the phone is not rooted so i can't flash the rom/gapps. This is where I am stuck at. I have not rooted this phone before nor any other phone. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG O.O

It does not seems to work

Can I flash different KK kernel

[HTC Sensation] scanferr:
If battery drains too fast it's because you have something running the background. Couple pages ago I posted how good my battery life is.
[HTC Sensation] OBLIVION007:
I think battery drain so fast in this rom but rom very looks good...can we flash liberty kernels or something else ? :S
[HTC Sensation] noidman123:
Liberty Kernel is only for Sense JB roms so that won't work. But if you want, you can download the kernel from this rom seperately and flash it. An Aroma Installer Menu will let you choose settings like min/max cpu, cpu throttling, etc for better battery life.
[HTC Sensation] -Jonny-:
So, anyone know how to get swap working on this ROM?

Please someone answer. I look at much discussion on battery, but can someone please help me with swap files? Ta
[HTC Sensation] noidman123:
What are you using to try to set up swap? Play Store apps, flashable zips, etc?

Edit: not sure if you tried but there's this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2409495 by hinxz

And this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 by Delta Roh

I'm not sure how the either plays with cm11 since I've never needed swap, but they're at least worth a try. However, be careful as neither of them specifically state that they work for cm11
[HTC Sensation] -Jonny-:
Hi, yes I've tried hinxz's and looked at delta-roh's. However, neither worked. So I tried my one here. Which got a bit further (the files were created), but I have got no further. So any help is appreciated. I'm wondering if this ROM actually supports it, but I'm getting no response from [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION]

But someone must know.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
If you want to know if swap is supported by kernel enter code below, if it returns "No such file or directory" then swap is not supported.

cat /proc/swap

If it is supported try changing "/vendor/firmware/misc/" to "/firmware_q6/".

You may want to lower byte size because it is vfat.

Edit: You may want to grab the busybox from my swap mod too because the one in ROM probably doesn't support swap priorities. If you use the one in ROM remove the swap priority from code but swap files will be used one after the other and not together.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
No swap support. The Sensation is slow enough already; I feel like we'd be slowing it down even more by swapping to SD cards that are several magnitudes slower than RAM :p
[HTC Sensation] real_sl4cker:
Yes, I can confirm that using swap makes the Sensation lagging like hell. I tried different approaches in the past (swap on /system and/or cache). At first it feels faster but after some using you feel it's getting slower and slower. So do yourselves a favor and avoid using swap on the Senny.

[sent from mobile]
[HTC Sensation] -Jonny-:
I know the Sensation may be slow, but it also has little RAM. Would it be difficult to enable swap and allow user the choice? The swap setup from [MENTION=1909299]hinxnz[/MENTION] doesn't use the SD card, but uses space on internal partitions (system and misc - and I don't know if it's possible to utilize the cache like on the Sense ROMs). It worked well for me when I was on Sense.
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
Sultan, were you able to fix the bug where the CPU clock gets stuck?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
I fixed it in the source code 2 weeks ago, I just haven't uploaded a new build with it yet. I might do that today or tomorrow.

I'll add swap support back into the kernel.
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
Great, I can't wait! :)

Thanks for the great ROM Sultan......much appreciated........ It turned out that my Nano SIM from the M8 which I was trying to use using a daft converter thingy me bob, didnt like the HTC Sensation, hence the network issues. Got myself a full size SIM and all is well.
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
Turbo Boost swap mod works great for this rom. :)
[HTC Sensation] _MsG_:
How do people cope with the low space in this phone? This phone is damn quick with this rom, but I constantly keep running out of space and can't update my apps. What can this rom provide me for this problem? Or is there something official which works nice for this problem? What do others use?
[HTC Sensation] intrepid24:
In order to maximize the life of my phone battery can I manually turn off Input boost completely
[HTC Sensation] 3shen:
Agreed. [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION], i've noticed ever since the introduction of inputboost that battery life has gotten worse. I actually never really saw a noticeable increase in fluidity with the addition of inputboost, but noticed a major impact on battery life. Apart from that, this ROM is amazing, near perfect i'd say Sir ! Thank you !

And also i've been wondering, all the KitKat builds for our senny from you and [MENTION=4329165]ivanich[/MENTION] still use M11. So what's this M12 all about ? http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-11-m12
[HTC Sensation] intrepid24:
I have not mentioned it before - Thank You SultanXDA!!

I am grateful for your work

Could input boost be an option in the kernel installer just like sweep2wake?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
No. Disabling input boost is not a good idea. Even before the new input boost driver we were using a different kind of input boost (though it wasn't as effective). Wanna see your phone get ultra-laggy? Open the terminal emulator app and run this command:

su -c "echo 0 > /sys/module/cpu_input_boost/parameters/input_boost_ms"

Then after running that, go to Settings -> Performance and tap the screen rapidly to make sure that your minfreq is not changing when you touch the screen.
[HTC Sensation] intrepid24:
Thanks for your quick reply

If I would like to undo this change do I substitute echo 0 with echo 900
[HTC Sensation] -Jonny-:
I use link2sd. I have 260MB system free and 450MB data free (and 2.5GB of it's on my SD partition instead!). You choose what you want on SD as it's supposed to be slower, but I've not noticed anything myself (Beach Buggy Blitz still runs fine!). Pay a little and you can also put internal data onto SD (great for the bloated facebook app). I have 130 user apps installed, with 111 of them linked onto the SD. :good:
[HTC Sensation] asefjamil:
Me too want to know that. does m2sd work, guys? :)
[HTC Sensation] -Jonny-:
Ok, good for the stuff fixed :good:. Swap is working using delta-roh :D (but hinxnz's mod didn't work, which I tried first).

However, now it seems we've lost KSM. [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION], why remove suff :( - why not just switch it off?

However, very satisfied with this ROM.

?? I want to throw a question out... what have people have for OOM for this ROM?

I have 8 16 32 64 96 128, but I'm thinking this is leaving too many background apps running thus perhaps slowing/eating battery.
[HTC Sensation] intrepid24:
[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] - I'd like to try different timings for input boost. After using the above command I am able to modify the timing but after reboot the new setting does not persist and the timing returns to 900ms. How do I keep the timing changes permanent?

Thanks for your help as always
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Even when KSM was configured to not use a lot of power it still used too much of the CPU, making the UI feel a bit laggier and draining the battery a bit more. KSM would be a better idea if our CPU were more powerful.

Stick it in the 89z_kernel init.d script, at the end of the file. Copy and paste it like this into the file:

echo 900 > /sys/module/cpu_input_boost/parameters/input_boost_ms

A shame it cannot be included and fully turned off (and on-able!), but that's ok, I understand if people find it a drain.

I know there's been discussion on MHL/HDMI and it seems people are saying 'never' on CM11. However Shantur/Flemmard seems to have it working on the CM11/12 UnORom:

HDMI working with specific steps http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=176.

Also more cheers as it's really stable (Day 3 of reusing this.)
[HTC Sensation] Baleent7:
This ROM is indeed very fast and very comfortable for me, but has several serious drawbacks. Main one is the sound quality. I don't know if it is a CM thing, but right now I'm using Viper, and the difference is huge. I always use equalizer to raise bass levels, and it works just fine on Viper, here, however, I get nothing but distortion. Speaking about the phone's speaker, of course, not headphones. Not to mention that it play music in stereo, but only right or left channel, I don't know which. Next one is the lack of Flash Player resulting in you can't play certain videos in browser. Then, camera always shows up in 16:9, even though I take photos in 4:3. Really annoying when I can't see the whole photo on the screen which I'm going to take. It drained battery like hell, but I guess this must be individual problem. In nutshell, this is it. Apart from these bugs, or whatever they are, very good, smooth, et cetera.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Comparing Viper (Sense ROM) to CM (AOSP ROM) is like comparing apples to space shuttles.

Hi

I had the same problems with CM Roms untill I found out that CMs Appolo plays really bad music I like Google Play Music for a player and even use it without equslisers (and I'm a deep bass lover). The camera .. also problem of the CM camera Google Camera is SOO MUCH better (takes faster shots shows you the exact image size gives you panorama and photosphare ...)

Now flashplayer I don't use so much but I think it's a brouser issue. However there are some browsers where you can enable flash (I know it works for Dolphin)
