This rom is amazing [period]

However I'm having a problem with the soft touch keys, that are not working how they are supposed to,

I cannot find a way to trigger the "task manager" and the quick menus for settings, wallpaper etc.

Is that a common issue? is there a way to assign that keys?

Sense 5 doesn't like you? Aww! You are the only One amongst 3000 active users on sense 5 within 18 hours of release who got this problem.

On a serious. Note, give kmsg with a complaint. I suggest you re flash the Rom if md5 is correct.

Coverart downloader

you can try using coverart downloader from playstore. or just google for coverart downloader (donate).apk. it is the premium version that lets you permanently embed the downloaded albumart for your mp3. and you can also remove cover arts from there.

Hey everyone how can I sort the blinkfeed messages so I want facebook first, then another news and so on because if I choose highlights the blinkfeed doesn't show all my marked newsfeeds. Ah and PS how to set how often the blinkfeed will be updated?
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Send [MENTION=2212152]SebastianFM[/MENTION] an phone coz nobody can blind port kernel + rom, + of course if he has time or want to do it.

Also, u got to know there's probable 95% chance camera cant be fixed on EVO, as its much different than Sensation, we wehre only lucky that we have very similar camera to C2 which Sebastian adopted the drivers to work on sensation.

LordNerevar: Thanks for replying! I managed to be able to run a Nandroid data only backup through 4Ext. The backup runs, but then I get a message at the end of the backup saying "could not mount /data". There IS a Nandroid backup file there that is created, but when I reformatted everything and did a wipe and re-installed the ROM, when I went to restore the Nandroid backup in Recovery it indicates it is restoring it with no issues, after it is done I boot up the ROM and my data is not there........

You really think all my data got corrupted because of the improper shut down? Another guy in this thread posted the exact same problem but he didn't get even one reply back :(
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
It would seem that way. Check the size of the data.ext4.tar file in your clockworkmod/advanced/data folder of your sdcard. You can try copying that file to your PC and see if it's valid but I'm guessing it's not.

Its not a bug, sound levels are 100/100 same as on Stock HTC sense 3.6 ROMS.

Not loud enough? Lol than dont use step 1...use step 2, or use max volumes, still not enough? Well wait for Xloud to be implemented, you should know this already.

[HTC Sensation] slewi:
Can you change a min freq? :)
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
No, but

maybe

possible if you disable pnp manager in tweaks in next update if kernel supports 192. 384 is a good low min frequency though which is what it is now and stock ever since ICS came out for our device.

Installing over Stock ROM 4.0.3

Hi,

I'm all set to flash ViperS 5.0 on my HTC Sensation XE -

Stock ROM 4.0.3 rooted S-ON,

Stock Kernel

Firmware - 3.33

HBOOT - 1.29.0000 Unlocked

4EXT Touch Recovery 1.0.0.6 RC1 - SmartFlash ON

Have taken -

1] NANDROID backup

2] Titanium backup

3] all other concerned backups (Music, Pictures...etc.)

4] Checked MD5 Sums of zips on SD card.

Should I first wipe Cache, Dalvik, Data/Factory Reset from 4EXT menu or directly start installing ViperS ROM?

While installing the ROM zip, which of the following (or all) available wipe options should I use -

(without formatting my SD Card)

1] Superwipe EXT3 (all partitions)

2] Superwipe EXT4 (all partitions)

3] Format system

4] Wipe data / factory reset

5] Format cache

6] Wipe dalvik cache

7] Fix permissions afterwards

8] Display md5sums before install

9] Stay inside recovery after completion

And as I'm coming from Stock HTC ROM, I think I will have to use kernel flasher zip too....

Should I wait to see if I get boot-loop or some other issue after installing ROM, or I can simply flash the kernel after installing ROM using 9th option above.

Thanks & Regards.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Just use the full wipe option in the installer of rom and do use venom kernel flasher as your outdated version of 4ext smartflash probably won't work.

but only problem that i am facing is that wifi is not working

camera is not working

not able to connect to network as it is also failing...........
[HTC Sensation] SebastianFM:
Everything works fine. If you're S-ON, just flash kernel manually using Venom Kernel Flasher, fastboot, or recovery with enabled smart flash feature.

Hey there.

I already tried the Kit Kat and 4.3.1 ROMs from Sultan, as well as the MIUI v5 ROM.

They have serious multitasking issues. Is this problem present in this ROM as well?

I know, the device isn't getting younger and has limited RAM but I don't think that stock ROM had this problem! Never tried it though, got the device from my brother.

So here is what happens:

I listen to music and open Feedly. Scroll through the articles and after some seconds music player gets killed by the LMK. Same with browsing, Play Store and even playing small games. Unbearable!

Smart Statusbar, battery bar or any other service always gets killed as well. This never (!) happened on my Motorola Atrix 4G. Could run all services without a problem, playing big games, listenig to music and switch to WhatsApp from time to time without any app getting killed or experiencing lag. I know, it has more RAM, but my brother told me that he didn't experience this problems this with stock ROM and CM9 on the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Somehow CM 11 roms seem to have terrible multitasking, you should find this a lot better. Don't expect miracles though, the sensation only has around 500mb of useable ram which in this day and age is nothing!
[HTC Sensation] trashbytes:
Thanks!

I will try this ROM and the Sense 4 ROMs as well.

Which Sense 4 ROM is better? The Venom one or the Revelation one from [MENTION=2212152]SebastianFM[/MENTION]?
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
The sense 4 roms are down to your personal preference, viperS contains lots of tweaks and stuff, revolution from sebastian is totally stock.

But honestly viperS 5 is so stable now and everything about sense 5 is better so i'd use this. It is a lot lighter than sense 4 too so multitasking will naturally be superior.
[HTC Sensation] yayakuya:
thank you...

blame me as you wish...
[HTC Sensation] acidglory:
Tried cm11 without any lag or multitasking prob...weired other people experienced it...
[HTC Sensation] EZY-E:
Hm, do you even use camera on this rom?

In general this rom is pretty stable, but every 4-5 pictures/videos I capture - crash.

Also one time when I watched some video, screen gone slowly black and touchscreen didn't work, lock and unlock solve it.

I would love to see update for camera bugs.
[HTC Sensation] sjknight413:
Yes of course I have.

I haven't had any of the problems you've mentioned and I've never had the camera crash on me.
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:

[HTC Sensation] EZY-E:
I don't know how often you use camera, but I capture videos (mostly) and take photos cca 10 times a week and I often experienced crashes when I record videos at hd.

So I did flash both Viper ROMs. You are right: Multitasking works perfectly! On both of them.

The problem is: I hate Sense :D nothing we can change.

But I have to admit that this ROM is the fastest I've ever used on the Sensation!
[HTC Sensation] trueman.:
Replica that... Really awesome ROM, very fast and stable hope the other things updated soon. Never think of a Sense 5 on my sensation but u made it.

I too face the similar problem. Have u tried swap and adjusting the oom values ? Mine I have gave up finding the source of the problem. Just format the phone and reinstall the rom
[HTC Sensation] radhx:
Thanks, just did that and all went well as expected.

But while coming from Stock ICS 4.0.3, I didn't have to flash kernel after installing ViperS 5.0 ROM.

No boot-loops, no hangs... XE just booted smoothly into new ROM with setup screen.

Also, no hangs or lags till now.

But I have encountered few other issues....

1] On ICS 4.0.3, XE used to show total of 14 sensors. Now number has come down to 9.

I have an app called "Keep Screen On" which doesn't allow the screen to sleep till the handset is angled vertically. But it has stopped working.

Does this issue pertains to any sensor or Sense 5.0 because ICS had Sense 3.6 which worked perfectly with this paid app.

Will flashing kernel now make any difference to this issue?

2] While receiving or making a call, the caller id photo is behind some kind of a black mesh.... how do I get a clean photo on the screen?

Thanks & Regards.
[HTC Sensation] fufinoid:
this ROM is wonderful, very fast working, much better than stock one. but I have shutdowns with it, which I don't have at all with other ROMs.
[HTC Sensation] Pis_Man:
Then reflash and check "Desense" option. Then choose "Apex" or "Nova" and ...voila! No Sense! ;)
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
U have Anker battery? Put some paper on opposite side so it pushes battery closer to contacts, regardless of battery type.

Seen this happens so many times, and paper fixes it almost every time.
[HTC Sensation] Pis_Man:
Your No2 is what I have also encounterd! Any solution? Be advised, if you change a photo now, this bug ceases to exist and the photo is perfect. But what about the other photos? For that, I also hope someone in here has an answer too...:confused:
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
Its a standard feature in sense 5, not a bug. If your picture is low resolution it does that. Use higher resolution pictures and it will be fixed.
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
And stop sending me PMSs with ETA questions, nobody knows ETAs yet, there is lots of work done and to do, it will be done when its done.
[HTC Sensation] Kosta26:
ivicask,In some system appendices are used textures with HTC One that involves load of a RAM. Use textures with HTC Desire 600.
[HTC Sensation] trashbytes:
I tried everything. I am currently using the OOM values from stock ROM on MIUI v5, but there is no noticable difference.

That just removes the launcher. Sense is a bit more than that ^^
[HTC Sensation] ivicask:
There isnt anything that would use more ram than it needs to..Even few "bigger" pngs in total would use maybe 0.1 MB RAM more in total, so dont bust your head with it.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
1. No need to reflash kernel if you have done so successfully, you can check in terminal by entering code below, it should say 3.4.10-SebastianFM-1.0.3

uname -a

If you use the auto-sleep featue, found in display settings this could interfere with your app as both would use the gyro sensor.

Also never knew the sensation had so many sensors..

2. As explained just earlier, HTC default for low-res images.

Guys, upload some good resolution pictures to your contacts (arround 1200px-1600px wide) through your PC gmail contacts. This will sort the BLACK MESH PICTURE problem.
[HTC Sensation] radhx:
Yes, terminal command says -

Linux localhost 3.4.10-SebastianFM-1.0.3 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 6 22:14:10 CET 2013 armv7l GNU/LINUX

So, I assume new kernel is properly updated.

I am using Quick System Info Pro app where you can see all the available sensors.

Not using Auto Sleep option for sleep duration - using 1 minute.

I installed Keep Screen On app on HTC Desire VC which has Sense 4.0 - it has the same issue, app doesn't work.

In Sense 3.6 the "Range" indicator in the app used to move around upon tilting the phone, now it doesn't even move from it's starting point.

Probably it is Sense 4.0+ issue, I am losing a very useful app

BTW, One sensor is "MPL Orientation (android deprecated format)" by vendor Invensense.

Thanks & Regards.

[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
Pis_Man: For your photo issues and the "mesh" etc. You need to just make sure you can open the photo in Gallery, and then select setting it as a contact photo and then pick the contact. ivi's suggestion is correct also but this is seeming to work fine for me for all of my contacts that have this issue.

Lord: I ended up starting from scratch and found bits and pieces of my data from other sources.

I will just do a Nandroid backup more frequently and save copies to my PC too in case this kind of horrible thing happens again. Thanks for your help!

Because its not implemented in kernel, Sensation reboots by holding 3 buttons, not only power.

On other hand HTC ONE* devices can be only restarted by holding only power button for 10+ sec.

So this option must remain as it is, so that C2 users of this can reboot their phones in case of problem.

You'll notice a huge thumbdata file in the folder and I think it's for dropbox. Used to upload existing photos on your device, that is if you choose to automatically upload when taking camera shots.

Great ROM!!!

Love this ROM. It runs fairly bug free and gives a bit of the true Sense 5 experience. Only issues I have had are that the phone sometimes shuts down when I'm taking pictures. As soon as I press the shutter button the phone shuts down. Also I had to uninstall a few of my apps. Even with AppMgr III It was an adventure maintaining my available memory at around 200MB.

I'm a real Flashaholic though so over the last month and a half I've been back and forth between this ROM and a few CM11 ROMs. This ROM definitely is a good ROM for everyday use.

Thanks for a great ROM guys, would be excellent if Viper Tweaks worked!!! ;)
[HTC Sensation] ClipTy:
Quick question! I want to de-sense this ROM, but I also want to keep the Sense 5 lock screen with shortcuts on it. How can I do this? Whenever I try I end up with a blank lock screen, without the ability to set new shortcuts.

I use nova launcher, it's my favorite, and I don't like the Sense launcher, or much of Sense 5 at all for that matter, but I do like the lock screen. How can I work around this?
