Not sure where you saw 100mb..its same one as on market 29mb.. Hope your not looking in app info , thats cache, temporary internet files ETC, not app size.

Well if you only wrote this at first we could have skipped 10 posts.. :)

This message means your phone is already linked to an other email address, and it knows this by your device IMEI.

If you dont remember your original email address, send me your IMEI and ill remove account associated with it, and than you can create new account.

HTC bug, set back animations speeds in developers options to default, same thing happens on my M8
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
Any chance to take a look at these logs m8?
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
I dont see anything wrong in kernel, system requested emergency restart.

You got something bad in phone, fastest solution for you is to do full wipe..
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
So u think this has to be some app thats doing this reboots?
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Some app, or "Dirty system". Can be anything from some app, or some SD contents..
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
Well I guess I have to flash all over again.Clean my sd full wipe and then flash.Thanks m8.Regards
[HTC Sensation] Natschlaus:
Yes I looked there. My bad.

I reinstalled from the app store and under app it now shows 63mb but I guess it will become more again.

have you tried which one of the animation speeds is causing the issue? I hate these animations :D

Camera is better than 5.1.0 but please fix bug for BlinkFeed when Rotation. Thank Venom!
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
I had 0.5 and i had this glitch, dont know, try figure your self, i set back to default i dont have time to bother with such things..
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
If you disable them your phone feels alot faster :D

I do and the way I do is with a SQLite editor, this way you can disable all animations including HTC animations on app draw etc.

You could probably set the HTC animation record to 0.5 to match the Android animation if setting it to 0.5 in developer settings and that may resolve your issue but I perfer to disable them completely for even more speed :cool:

Just edit the system table in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

The records to edit are shown in the screenshot attached.
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
Thanks a lot hinxnz.

I use Apex Launcher and tried to disable all animation and transitions and it made the whold phone more responsive ;)
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Fixed already for next OTA

Whats better in camera?

Unfortunately I can confirm the battery life issue on 5.2.0. With 5.0.0 I had the best battery life, about 3h 30min sometimes even 3h 50min. With 5.1.0 a little bit worse battery life, around 3h-3h 10min but still very good. But with the latest 5.2.0 build I can get only around 2h. I don't see any wakelocks too...
[HTC Sensation] vietcad1977:
But if you disable them you can missing sensor when autobrightness. The Brightness screen is sudden when increase and reduce.What is discomfort for me. I set is 0.5x

Has anyone added XDA HTC Sensation Android Development to Blinkfeed or even this thread?

I have sort of, but only able to show the 3 threads as shown in screenshot and unfortunately not this one :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
No it's not, nothing to do what so ever with auto-brightness. Must of been a coincidence for you this happened :)
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Okay lets deal with this kind of posts once and forever.

One person writes battery life is better other person writes its worse?How is that possible?Well simple its not, its something your doing wrong your side, or you have some app doing this bad drains.

Please install this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector Open it and in settings activate Advanced mode.

Than post me detailed pictures of your top apps used, make sure you also expend them so i see which individual processes they call. Also show me the kernel wakes details.

Also, hardware side, did you try full discharge than charge phone to 100%, but DONT unplug i when it hits 100%, that doesn't actually necessary mean that its full, Leave it charging for another hour. Than see how is your battery life.

Use power saver to save extra power, avoid data connection on low signal, and make sure your battery is not simple old//bad.

If you find an app that does lots of wake locks, try fixing that app, try re installing it or tweaking its settings, or report problem to author, if nothing helps and you must have this app, you can try installing this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission

You can use this app to disable wake locks for a certain apps and in that way prevent them to drain your battery when its not needed.

EDIT:Also i just remembered, new Hangouts are causing battery drains for lots of users, Google is aware and working on fix, if that is on top of your usage, try reverting to step version back.Same with Google Play Services..

only me got this issue? when i use bluetooth headset, notification for SMS and gmail is very light but ringtone for incoming call is working well. what's going on? i got this issue from 5.1.0. can it be fixed?

BTW, after i formatted the sd card and had a full wipe installation, battery life is amazing. looks like the battery life is better than 5.1.0

Hi guys,

I have weird issue, when i install rom after few days my light sensor stop working. I'm not installing nothing (any app, mod, kernel etc.) even dont restart the phone. Wiping cash and dalvik dont solve the problem. Offcourse im doing clean install (full wipe). Can anyone tell me with which is this related??
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
I'm sure this selection is located somewhere. By default, after a full wipe, the AOSP vertical quick settings is colorless. How do I make it where all icons have individual color. Please refer to the attachment for better understanding.
[HTC Sensation] ashu01:
Hey ivi

I also need that HD photos in contacts. Its all good in 5.1 ROM. May be this isuue is due to the bug of contacts FC by clicking on My Profile as discussed in previous posts. I can use 3rd party but why if we have integrated HTC feature. Just saying have a look on this issue when you are fixing FC issue of Contacts.
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
It's in the same settings in venom tweaks. I didn't know about it but I was able to locate it from your screen shot. ;)
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
Where?
[HTC Sensation] fufinoid:
Battery was always very good on Viper's ROMs. Maybe better then on stock. For the best battery disable the location detecting by google in settings. Weather location we can choose manually.

Some time ago I had bad battery life on 5.1.0, but after some time of using the ROM it became better, so maybe you just need to make some cycles. I don't really understand these things, but maybe each ROM reads the battery stats and charge the battery for it own kind, so that is why we need to wait some cycles.

P.S. Sorry if there are too many mistakes in my English

Camera seems to be the same in terms of quality.

Media playback

Ignorant question: this past weekend I've recorded couple of short video segments which I almost never do and also took some pictures. When trying to play back some videos in the Gallery it would not work, only picture viewing worked.

I wonder if it's because during install of this ROM I have deselected to install HTC video player and HTC TV applications because I never use them.

My regular video player that fulfils my needs is MX Player. I can actually play recorded videos if I access them trough file manger first and let MX player to play them for me.

Also, I don't know how many Sense 6 elements are included in this ROM but there seems to be Zoe application included that plays back pictures with some effects and background music, unfortunately, once it it tries to play back captured videos as well it freezes on me, I am assuming due to missing HTC Video player.

Is anyone able to elaborate on this issue?
[HTC Sensation] fufinoid:
I don't remember all aroma options, but maybe you choose to delete htc player there?

If you choose "Android 4.2 (AOSP)" in Tweaks -> Status Bar -> Vertical quick settings, they are colorless. Perhaps you can finde them with color in VenomHUB.

I have installed ViperS5.2.0 OTA over ViperS5.1.0 on my wife's sensation and now she tells me she has the same problem as well. I don't know for how long she has had the issue but it seems an old one that might have been lost on the way. Didn't find any solution in the thread.

video playback in Gallery

yes, I've deselected HTC video player because i never use it

that post was not related to my issue infortunatelly

Fix:

I've reinstalled ROM without wipe and made sure that HTC Video player would be installed and that seems to fixed it, now I can play recorded video in Gallery.

But it seems that I've broken slideshow with music as it does not work correctly, it lets me select music track but then nothing. Either I am really dumb and can figure it out or it's broken...

been meaning to ask this!

i have done adding xda on my blinkfeed..but all i get is the xda portal and not any specific thread.:D i had also been wondering if there would be an RSS feed for xda thread specific.:D

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

hey ivi..in regards to this, i just want to ask..is it safe to fully discharge battery everytime? coz for me i change my battery when it hits 20 to 14%..depends if i can grab my anker charger. i have this habit that i don't charge my dead battery on my phone..i just use my anker charger and when it hits blue, i unplug it. (anker charger has 3 light indicator..the led changes color according to status, namely:

red=charging

purple=almost full

blue=full

but, in cases where 2 of my batteries goes dead then i charge the other one on my phone to save time..and i quickly unplug my phone as soon as my led turns green..so what i did isn't right?
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
No, its not good to discharge your battery fully all the time, your shorten its battery life that way, best is to try keep it not to drop around 20% below.

About discharging fully you can do it when you flash new rom to ensure its properly calibrated only.
[HTC Sensation] ichigo_kurosaki:
ok.:D

oh..ok man! thanks for the info..i have been a flashaholic for a long time but i never knew this stuff. will do this and pass on the information to my members at my GB group coz some of them are whining about battery life with this awesome rom.:D
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
how did you put xda on blinkfeed?
[HTC Sensation] ichigo_kurosaki:

i just did the add content on the Blinkfeed and searched for XDA. it gave me a link to the xda news portal and i just added it to my feeds.:D

Remove weather clock from lockscreen with 3rd party launcher

Those who use the latest ROM with a third party launcher - Nova, Apex, etc. - on a de-sensed install, could you remove the weather widget from lock screen or set up weather sync to work? For me I saw "Unable to detect location" and in the Weather app I am not able to add any location. Also weather is missing from the "Accounts & sync" menu. Maybe it is part of Prism now.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i used the search and it showed me xda

i pressed it and it gave news from portal too(i think)

i assume this is what you are talking about
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:

hinxnz gave me a solution to that

there is a zip there that you install via recovery
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Yes, actually I do believe such apps are getting to be more and more necessary. There has been a recent news story on this. A professional hacker (one who is hired to hack by companies to expose vulnerabilities) was interviewed and, in his opinion, identity theft via the phone is no different than on a computer. Much of the same information, these days, is being transmitted that way, especially now with many bank apps and transactions being done on the phone.

Your question rings like those who once upon a time, asked if anti-virus software was necessary. Worst yet, those Apple users who said, "Macs can't get viruses". Both were proven wrong.

Bury your head in the sand if you must. I prefer to err on the side of caution.
[HTC Sensation] looneylv:
hmmm.. my phone just restarted and started to bootloop... cannot boot anymore the phone... :eek:
[HTC Sensation] ichigo_kurosaki:
Thanks for that insight. I would just like to share about heartbleed and open SSL. before i gained s-off, i ran that at and it says my open SSL something on my rom is vulnerable, but since heartbeats were disabled so i am safe. After gaining s-off, i ran the scanner again and it found a vulnerability with facebook.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
I kind of agree and don't but not really the place to discuss. If a hacker wants to hack a PC they can and no Anti-virus will stop this, a firewall may take them a little longer to do so but nothing is full proof. Linux can't get such viruses as it uses a sandboxing technique and IMO everything can be hacked but no android anti-virus app will protect you from the most likely ways your such personal information for eg. bank would be stolen.

Very strange but if you don't have a backup to revert too, I would suggest in future to use the 4ext recovery app to schedule backups for you at least on a weekly basis.

Your right about the latest version of FB, previous version 8.0.0.26.24 is fine. Nothing to do with S-off, it was the latest update that has the OpenSSL bundled with it, which is vulnerable.

Add custom RSS to blinkfeed

hi

I've read HERE tat you can add your custom RSS feed into blinkfeed (htc sense 5.5) via adb

and here is the commande

for example if you want to ad BBC rss feed the adb command line should be like this

they said that this will work in original sense 5.5

i all ready tested it on this ROM and it didn't work

maybe the blinkfeed application is not named as it is mentioned on the command line (com.htc.socialnetwork.rss)

and the question is what will be the command in this ROM if it's possible ?

ThanX

EDIT:

here is what it gives when we try the command line in ViperS ROM
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:
OK. dont know about the rss adding but i started playing a little with blinkfeed as [MENTION=4652321]rzr86[/MENTION] mentioned via the search option in blinkfeed and i got to add xda, gsmarena and mashable in the blinkfeed. those sites sections are added on the left panel of the blinkfeed, whenever i want to view them, i just click on it and the entire blinkfeed shows update from those sites. pretty amazing. thanks ivica. thank you team venom.

Excellent battery life!

Hi Venom team,

I've recently started using custom ROMs in my HTC Sensation. I've tried few ROMs however Viper stands out the best when it comes to battery life. I am thrilled to see my battery is coming for 2-3 days with plenty of voice calls and moderate browsing. I should not compare with other ROMs like KitKat based ROMs as they are very demanding of battery juice and lasts only 8-12 hours.

It is also little painful to see that you will be stopping Viper development for HTC Sensation however I really appreciate all your dedication and effort so far. Thank you!

I have started using it for couple of days and will post any bugs, if any.

Stopping Sensation Development

Once I moved to Viper ROM, I went through the last 50 discussions to check whether I should be aware of any major bugs. In one of the replies, a senior developer from Viper ROM mentioned that it has become difficult to port Viper to Sensation due to number of bugs coming up. They believe they have reached a stable Viper ROM for Sensation hence planning to stop the development. Only bug fixes will be done from here to make it really stable ROM. Sorry, I couldn't locate the thread but if you navigate anywhere between 700 to 755 page numbers, you will be able to find it.
[HTC Sensation] ichigo_kurosaki:
Agree

yup. ivi already said it that after this major update, there will only be remaining bug fixes and then the team will move on to focus on the newer devices, particuarly the 2 generations of the One, M7 and M8. so it's bye bye Seny.:(
[HTC Sensation] domi.nos:
Me, few pages back:

Hello, update is still not official, and it is not said that is is not a leak (accidents happen, most when people are tired), but I would like to share with you some ideas to MASTER blinkfeed.

1. Add custom feeds. Usually that would happen using stock browser, but here, we need special app Blink_RSS. Just paste a link there, really easy. I think it should be with http://, since v1ncent.pl/rss did not pass, I had to add http://

2. Merge several feeds into one. paste your feeds, each in next line (press enter)

3. Make a feed a full one. Sometimes feeds are just a introduction of article/few first words. Using WizardRSS. If anyone has a better alternative, please share. This does not always add images. But other give you like 3 or 10 last articles...

Also try: THIS, no limits, but not always works... And yahoo pipes, but they are somehow harder. Tutorial.

4. Add your own YouTube feed, use: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/XXXXX/uploads and change XXXXX to what is after www.youtube.com/channel/ while browsing a channel. More info here

I recommend mixing youtubes into one, and call it youtube. Note, that clicking on video thumbnail in Blinkfeed will not open video directly, instead will open empty article page, with link to it "Show original article". This link opens videos.

And feeds, if not complete articles, make it using WizardRSS, then merge them into one, and lastly add into Blinkfeed.

In the end, feel good.

Too bad to hear that team venom are leaving viperS. Best rom I've ever used on Sensation. Hopefully they will give permission to some other dev to continue developing this rom or use their kernel to make other sense 5 rom when they leave us.

Anyway big thanks to them for making this rom. I was not sticking to any rom longer than a few days until I bought sensation and flashed viperS. Now no matter which rom I try, I always get back to this one.

Found a strange "bug" and I wanted to let you all know... This is what happened. I chose in Venom Tweaks the battery text style (which is white by default) and changed colors (green/orange/red). Everything ok, working perfect.

Yesterday I used the device for almost an hour continuously, and it became VERY hot. As I was using it without problems since months with Viper 5.1 I thought it was a problem with 5.2, so I reflashed 5.1 (clean install). I chose battery colors again in 5.1... same problem : phone was hoooooot !!!

So I thought, if it's got to be so hot, I better stay on 5.2 and reflashed 5.2 (clean install again). When I was setting up the phone again, I realised that the only change I made recently was that (battery color), so I kept it default.

Really strange, no heating problem at all as I always experienced with this wonderful rom.

Just to let you all know :)
