Weather mods

[MENTION=1792279]ivicask[/MENTION], do you approve these weather mods for our sense 5? will you be putting these on the mods section for this rom? just asking.:D sense 4 weather makes the homescreen more beautiful..it's like the upcoming Sense 6.0 next year. haha..i tried the sense 4 weather mod and so far i haven't got any issues with my phone.

on another note, speaking of issues, i have one thing to ask you. i think this should be added on the FAQs section or the troubleshooting section or whatever it's gonna be called for this rom thread. This is not a rom issue, more of a personal. haha..so i guess this should also be addressed in case any other user face this problem as i had.

last night, i was exploring the weather settings on my phone, obviously running this rom. i can see on the weather that my City is the current location. that's fine, and thre are other places on the list of locations on the weather settings. places like tokyo, london and others. i think it's there by default. i tried adding another City (the capital of the Philippines, Manila). it is searchable, of course, but when i added it, it doesn't show up on the list. and when i deleted those other non-Philippine places on the weather locations, my weather on the widget was gone, displaying "no weather or no location available" something like that, even if i refresh the weather (i am constantly connected to WiFi when at home) weather data for my city still won't show up. i mean, how can it be when the places i deleted were not part of my country? I resolved the issue by reflashing the rom (clean install) this morning. and my weather is back.

and lastly, i wanted to clarify something about KSM. Anyone can answer this one. We know that KSM control apk is not currently included on this ROM initial release (no problem with that). and ysterday the link for KSM.apk was posted here if anyone wants to download it, with instructions from [MENTION=4710549]hunt[/MENTION] to set scanning speed at low. and so i tried installing the apk and follwed the instruction. when i tried playing one of my heavy games (Real Racing 3) game was laggy. so i want to ask, is it not adivsable to use KSM for gamers like me?
[HTC Sensation] kukuthejak:

I'm having a problem where if I type anything, spell check thinks it is wrong. Everything I type it thinks it's wrong. I looked through the thread and the only solution I see is to turn off auto-correct. Is this a known problem? I fresh installed it, erased cache/davik and it doesn't help.

Car Audio call

Every time when my sensation has plugged headphones or aux in car , caller can't hear my voice during call, like the mic was muted, until i plug out headphones. It's very important for me, so please, tell me how to fix this
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
I like the boot animation that came with this rom but I don't like the viper that crawls away :eek: thanks for this :good: I know it took some of your time yet you sacrificed it for us. Thank you :) [emoji4]

[HTC Sensation] ichigo_kurosaki:
Thanks for this bro. I like it. More appropriate to have the android logo..it's like after the bios screen, the windows logo.:D

I installed the language keyboard zip in OP, and choose English (UK) and Spanish on install. Then I set this up in settings for language/ keyboard. Now spelling is working fine.

[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:
Hi. A few things that i have noticed after updating to 5.2.1, while taking pictures with flash on the phone reboots. I know what the other problems will be but this wasnt happening with 5, 5.1 and 5.2. Secondly feel that the rom is a little less responsive compared to its previous versions, some time lags a little. Anyone else feeling the same? Any suggestions to help?
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
The camera flash issue used to occur when I was on stock Rom but haven't really experienced that recently. A logcat for the devs might help
[HTC Sensation] zzieluuu:
someone can upload 5.2.1 to better site ? like MEGA ??

Make sure that your battery is fully charged or use external power supply
[HTC Sensation] rasor99:
I'm having this weird issue. My senny's battery life with ViperS 5.2/5.2.1 is nowhere comparable to what I used to get with 5.1. and yesterday the phone was at 80% battery when I went to sleep, and when I woke up in midnight the phone was super heated and at 2% and soon switched Off. Don't know why I'm not getting any battery life from 5.2 and strangely I don't see many battery issues in the comments here. I've tried OTA and clean install of both 5.2. and 5.2.1. Plzz help anybody, I love the new blinkfeed..:(
[HTC Sensation] zzieluuu:
thanks ;)
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
Was your WiFi or Data on? Have you greenified app that run in the background? Did you clear recent apps?

[HTC Sensation] jafferkhan:
Guys I need some help here, I've flashed this thrice on my sensation the rom is very cool but it just drains my battery like crazy, I've tried other rom but only this one does that. I'm not s off yet, is that the reason why it's draining my battery? I even tried flashing the kernel through adb to see maybe that's the issue but it's the same terrible draining... any suggestions? I am not soff yet by the way :confused::confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] rasor99:
Wifi ON, data OFF all the time.... I dont use greenified.... And I kill all the recent apps from task manager except whatsapp.

Yeah will check it tomorrow... Right now I'm back to 5.1.. Will report tomorrow.. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] jafferkhan:
Anyone? Help me out a bit? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:
Pull out the earphones just a little until the headphone icon changes to a handfree one. Or you can find something to insulate the base of your earphones
[HTC Sensation] Rafi76:
I had the same only once during the night after update to 5.2.1. Now my battery life is pretty fine, about 3 days with moderate usage.
[HTC Sensation] nickbaron:
Hi battery performance better then ics. 4.0.4 ? On screen time average ? Herritage 2.0 compare this rom please :)
[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:
I dont know if this is a Rom issue , kernel or am doing something wrong.am using Viper S 5.2.1 But wen i take pictures at night they dont come out nice at all. I have tried using the toggle flashlight feature but the light is not bright enough to illuminate properly. And if the light i use e camera flash the light is bright enough but because the picture is taken so quickly the camera doesn't focus properly.

:confused::confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] ichigo_kurosaki:
tip..based on my own experience

try locking AE and AF. hold down on an empty space on your screen while camera app is running then you should see a notification "AE and AF(Autofocus) Locked".that should stabilize your shooting. wait for the camera to lock in focus..you can tell it as the camera will become clearer..then take your picture. or shake your phone a bit until the focus locks in (while AE and AF still locked) ten take your shot. your flash should be ON or Auto. and, don't hold on to the shutter button for a long time or the flash will mess your photo.

well..that's just how i do night shooting..i even took a video of a band outdoors and it was at a passable quality.:D
[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:
thank you i hve tried doing that but still the picture quality is still low. Wat i mean is if u have noticed with other phones wen in very dark places the flash comes on and stays on for at least 2 sec while the camera focuses automatically or u do it manually then takes the pik. But i cant do that with this phone. I still think its a software problem which can be fixed if our developers look into it....
[HTC Sensation] oblitus:
taking photos with flash on low battery, shuts down the phone :/
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Get new battery or dont use flash on low battery.
[HTC Sensation] vietcad1977:
Please tell me How to fix Youtube app? My children always use it. Thank! This problem still exist from Vipers 5.0 to 5.2.1
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
I have never found solution for it, or im searching one anymore.It could be kernel issue also, so i cant do anything about it.

You can try using Viral, its alternative YouTube app it may work different and not crash phone.
[HTC Sensation] nickbaron:
Hi ivicask one question battery performans better than ics rom ? Anker 1900/ mah
[HTC Sensation] der_laufer:
I have same problem with new battery ....
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Low battery = low battery voltage

Flash = voltage drop

Using flash while battery is already low at voltage = phone crash due insufficient voltage

Anyways, i have NEVER saw my phone crash while using flash, unless battery is below 10% and i use flash fast several times in a row..
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
any answer for this?
[HTC Sensation] Sherlocks:
I think autobrightness is low than stock ics in 5.2.1. When i'm in strong sunny outdoor, i cant see lcd very well. Also if i use autobrigtness, i revert to off it, it's not change value. I check it like ics. But it's not working in 5.2.1. Any others are very good working ;)
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
WiFi drains battery so turned it off if you are not using it. Try greenify, and use a wakelock detector, check for apps running in the background cos they drain battery too and Clear recent apps.

P.SIf your battery is old maybe if would be better if you replace it.

I also can find some keyboard skins after the update, I think they have been replaced by new ones or maybe there's an error cos I sometimes see skins for the rom and this rom doesn't use skins.
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Sense 5 skins dont work on sense 6 keyboard.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
in 5.2.0 the keyboard was sense 5?
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
if you use battery saver all the time the brighteness is lower than normal
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
Sometimes I see some skins in the hub and I'm able to download but can't apply them cos this rom doesn't use skins. But I'm wondering why the show up in venom hub :confused:
[HTC Sensation] ichigo_kurosaki:
So far no problem with youtube on my end. What's the bug? Please tell me.
[HTC Sensation] Sherlocks:
I dont use battery saver. I'm using default setting
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i have applied the blue skin:good:
[HTC Sensation] VekiCRO:
In 5.2.0 and 5.2.1 i have problem with Sense launcher reloading.

When i exit from some application i have screen of phonebook with the last contact that I had a conversation.

EDIT:When that screen is showed i cant do anything,i must press Home button and then launcher is reloading and then everything is working normally.

I tried MultiSwap v1.0.3 with default swappines(60) and with 70 and 80 swapiness,its the same.

Tried changing Minfree settings in Tweaks to Multitasking and again no succes.

ROM is cleaned with ROMcleaner and i have Greenify.

With same setting in 5.1.0 i didnt have this issue.
[HTC Sensation] ichigo_kurosaki:
it shows coz the hub was never coded to detect what version of viper rom you are using. Atleast some items in hub are marked that they are for other htc devices.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
this happened to me too 3 times when i was exiting from tichu counter app:D

i was seeing the screen with the last call i had
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
I thought that happens after there's been a heavy usage of the phone but I don't get that even after playing subway surfers. What happens is that when I open app drawer it loads.
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
I dont know how your seeing sense 4 skins, or how you think they are supposed to work on sense 5 rom when HTC them self removed skins support in sense 5.

Same with sense 5 keyboard skins, they do not work with sense 6 keyboard or should show on HUB, unless you have some old cached copies downloaded on SD card, or you haven't updated to latest rom (5.2.0 or 5.2.1), than you will see such errors because we specifically hide sense 5 skins in latest HUB.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Check your Greenify app and make sure 'Blinkfeed' is not greenified because that is the Sense launcher ;)
[HTC Sensation] VekiCRO:
Thanks,it was greenified,probably that was the problem,i will see if that happens again now that Blink Feed is degreenified.
[HTC Sensation] Sherlocks:
sometimes htc gallary cause to lag and sense restart and if play with music, stop music when ram is low.

can htc gallary improve?
[HTC Sensation] vackayjo:
Yep i can add custom topics at BlinkFeed, but none appears at highligths, i need always go to BlinkFeed menu and select for show only the selected custom topic. I want to add them at highligths. :confused:

I tried youtube on my girlfriend phone and it is working with no problems. I tried everything while playing lockn and unlocked. No frezze at all. This sensation is clocked to 1500 Mhz.
[HTC Sensation] Sherlocks:
I try to fix this issue. Maybe will be fix ;). I test various situation
[HTC Sensation] DJ Scooby Doo:
You were right bro! When I reflashed the ROM, I didn't install the zip files but I checked off English UK and Spanish and it worked perfect when I changed it back to English US on the Google Keyboard. :) Maybe this can help some people too, that used the previous advice of turning off auto-correct.
[HTC Sensation] oldgringo:
Check Status bar brightness slider checkbox in Venom Tweaks. If it's checked you can change brightness by sliding on the status bar. Or you can uncheck it and then in works automatically by other tweak settings.
[HTC Sensation] Sherlocks:
After Sony bravia check, reboot phone. It's not working in venom tweaks. It's same like vipers 1.6.3
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
To improve gallery try by raising your read ahead buffer size for SD card to a higher value. I had no issues and have lots of photos too, I have mine set to 512 for SD card. I think stock is 128. Try setting yours to 512 too or even higher.
[HTC Sensation] Sherlocks:
Cpu tap In venom tweaks?
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Yeah you can change it there. I changed it with an app I got, called 'Mounts2SD'.
[HTC Sensation] Sherlocks:
I cant get benefit bufer size. Its happen same
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Was worth a try :) I'm pretty sure you need to reboot after changing read ahead buffer too and did it actually change?

I think code to enter in terminal to check is:

cat /sys/block/mmcblk1/bdi/read_ahead_kb
[HTC Sensation] Sherlocks:
Sensation sdcard buffer address 179.64 -> mmcblk1. Yes youre right. I try again now
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
for me it works

did you try again?
[HTC Sensation] Sherlocks:
It's Suddenly work. But it seem reboot.it's hot reboot in ViperS ics. I will fix
[HTC Sensation] WSZR:
Search showed nothing is ask. I do not have problems with using the larger battery by Google after upgrading to 5.2.1? After a few updates when the smartphone turns into a deep sleep. The system installed on a purely behaves the same way.
[HTC Sensation] maciclazar:
Why does blinkfeed appear in recent apps menu? Is this a bug or sense 6 blinkfeed works like that? When I wipe it out sense restarts almost always. In vipers 5.1 blinkfeed has never appeared in recent apps menu.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
blinkfeed= htc sense launcher
[HTC Sensation] Sherlocks:
It's same. Sense 5 htc gallary need more many ram than sense 4. I think it's not related buffer size.
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
I'm thinking it's because BlinkFeed is not your default launcher.
[HTC Sensation] maciclazar:
I know that blinkfeed is sense launcher (prism) but every time I tap on feed to read it, blinkfeed appears in my recent apps menu and if I wipe it out sense launcher restarts. I don't have any other launcher installed so blinkfeed is my default launcher.
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
Strange.. ok then go to >manage apps and choose BlinkFeed(prism) and make it your default launcher manually. See how that goes...
[HTC Sensation] maciclazar:
It is already set as default launcher.

I downloaded apex launcher half an hour ago and made it as a default launcher just to clear defaults from prism. After that I've entered apex settings and a message popped up saying I need to swipe away other launchers (blinkfeed in this case) but when I opened recent apps blinkfeed wasn't there!?

Anyway I've deleted apex but blinkfeed still shows itself in recent apps menu.

Does blinkfeed appear in recent apps on your phone? Try to tap on some feeds and check your recent apps.

Hey guys, are you using stock kernel? could you tell me your settings for best performance? and last question are you using any swap / speed mode? i checked my girlfriend sensation and i feel small lags when i open status bar, what do you suggest? thanks.
[HTC Sensation] maciclazar:
There's only a kernel that comes with rom which is fully working. I am using stock settings cpu 1,5GHz and gpu 266MHz. I am not using any mod which increases speed and I am pretty happy with sensation's performance. If it seems slow to you, try to raise cpu frequency to 1,7GHz.

[HTC Sensation] maciclazar:
I don't know why and how this issue occurs to me. So strange. On both vipers 5.2.0 and 5.2.1 blinkfeed shows in recent apps. 5.1 worked great for me. Maybe I'll stick with 5.1 for now...

It's normal if you are reading topics or custom RSS feeds. That is just the htc stock browser associated with blinkfeed.:)
[HTC Sensation] maciclazar:
Thanks. Glad I'm not the only one who see blinkfeed in recent apps. Sense 5 blinkfeed has never appeared in recent apps when I read feeds but sense 6 blinkfeed always shows there. Sense restarting every time I swipe it away from recent apps is making me mad.

Yesterday we made some changes to the HUB and it should fix mail delivery problems, also persons with broken generic IMEI 355195000000017, you can try registering now again on the hub because it will also check your device serial number which i hope is not broken.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
You can probably exclude it from recent apps with the Xposed module 'ActivityForceNewTask'.
[HTC Sensation] xpirt:
Sense 6 launcher should not appear in recent apps in the latest update. Maybe a full wipe is needed for him but the launcher is forced to be kept in memory as well as hidden in recent apps.

xpirt
[HTC Sensation] useyourlogic:
I think what these people are discussing about isn't the launcer but the RSS Feed page. You know, the news and stuff. Whenever they open a link then it will appear on the recent apps as "BlinkFeed". Thus, the misunderstanding that the launcher appears in recent apps.

I think the first question is about why the RSS Feed News now on recent apps as it doesn't appear back on 5.0.0 - 5.1.0 and another person misread/misunderstand the question, perceiving it that the Sense 6 Launcher is showing in recent apps.
[HTC Sensation] xpirt:
I know what he is talking about and it's exactly what I meant ;) the newsplugin under the name of HTC BlinkFeed remains in recent apps and when swiping it out the launcher restarts. But as I said this should be fixed in latest version.

xpirt
[HTC Sensation] maciclazar:
Full wipe won't help. I've tried OTA from 5.2.0 to 5.2.1 and later flashed full 5.2.1 but issue was there no matter how I flash rom.

That's right. Blinkfeed appears in recent apps only when I tap on feed to read it. If I swipe it away from recent apps then launcher restarts.

Does blinkfeed shows in recent apps for any of you guys?

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] useyourlogic:
whoops, sorry, didn't pay attention there :silly:

Blinkfeed shows in recent apps for me but the launcher doesn't restart though when I swiped it away. The only time the launcher would restart (in this case stopped) is when I try to open a "big" news feed in blinkfeed. Other than that it's flawless so far.
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
:eek: I just saw it too in recent apps, I tried it earlier it didn't but it showed when I tried it offline. Well my launcher restarted though. But it's nothing serious.
[HTC Sensation] maciclazar:
It's nothing serious but it is very annoying to have launcher restarts every time you read feeds and I read feeds a lot.
