V6 is awesome

No bugs found

Plus I never had a reboot issue since alpha version :D

But I wanna know why the battery doesn't change when I change the theme ,

I'm talking about stock battery icon not CM circle icon :)
[HTC Sensation XL] idan_abargel:
Sounds good!!

Did they fixed the settings problem from v4? (The problem i mentioned in the comment above yours)
[HTC Sensation XL] :
To set a pin or pattern for lockscreen go to

Settings >> security

To change another settings search in other places for example display & lights ..

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 AM ----------

I think some of you want some of old CyanogenMod features back like status bar brightness control or lockscreen background changing etc

To get these features back download Xposed Framework from xda

After installing the framework open download in the app and download GravityBox KK then enable it from modules and reboot ...

Launcher

Hi onejay,

I was wondering why I cant swipe all the way left to access google now? I can do that in version 1-4. Did you change new launcher? I prefer the one that we can swipe all the way left to access google now.
[HTC Sensation XL] ddulic:
I would also like that, I don't know if that is a ROM problem tho.

EDIT: Download this launcher for Google Now on homescreen

Google Launcher
[HTC Sensation XL] armageddon6:
Thanks onejay, v6 is now transferring perfectly over bluetooth. I have not had a chance to check the pairing issue that I was having with v5. I am still constantly getting the exchange service has stopped message. Is it a setting I have missed somewhere?

One last thing. With selecting trebuchet a settings button appears at the bottom. When I press it it changes as though I have pushed the button but it doesn't do anything and there are no further options. Is this Normal?

Thanks again. I am loving this room.
[HTC Sensation XL] amphorion:
Do a full wipe before installing.
[HTC Sensation XL] onejay09:
Well that requires you to install Google now from launcher settings...

Plus I'm not sure its available in cm's launcher
[HTC Sensation XL] La Yaung:
Thanks Bro

Hi onejay,

I have found a bug on Viber. When I use push to talk function on viber, some weird sound come out . It is recorded but I find that it is very annoying. Do you think you will be able to fix that? So far. version 6 is very fantastic
[HTC Sensation XL] :
Yep there is a bug in viber only

Onejay could you plz make dalvik the default runtime on the next update :D

Thanx
[HTC Sensation XL] jib_intelli:
I have tested v6.0 since the last (almost) 24 hours. This is definitely the most stable and bug-free version so far. ART runs like a breeze, however the first boot takes around 15 minutes instead of 10. Battery life has definitely improved even though I have overclocked the device to 1708 with Ondemand and SIO. No random reboots, have yet to test Hangouts and Skype video calls, which'll happen over the weekend.

The launcher3 which CM supplies does not have the left-swipe Google Now integration. That is limited only to the GEL, which is available here on XDA . I am using the latest version 0.10.1.920880 which is definitely more snappy than the previous GEL.

I have not had any issues on any apps running on ART. Just so that people know, I had v5 and converted that to ART first. Then flashed v6 over it without clearing cache etc. Works like a charm! Hopefully I was able to sort some confusions out.
[HTC Sensation XL] armageddon6:
OK reinstalled v6. Full wipe and then Davlik wipe. copied rom and gapps to sd. installed rom then installed gapps. Rebooted. entered security code and first message was "Unfortunately, Echange Service has stopped." Am I missing something here?

I also checked the Bluetooth issue and it is still wont connect after the initial pairing.

I so want to get this working as it is by far the best rom I have used.

Cheers onejay, I appreciate the effort in the rom and the responses.
[HTC Sensation XL] dinozaur516:
I also got the error notifications. I just disabled this service through the applications in settings. As if someone is using corporate email I advise you to use the application CloudMagic. Is more comfortable but don't sync contacts and other information just email.
[HTC Sensation XL] wetxxx:
How check what kind of cache I have? Is it dalvik or ART?

Wysłane z mojego Sensation XL przy użyciu Tapatalka
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
Check in developer settings. If you didn't change it, it will be dalvik.
[HTC Sensation XL] cimihendriks:
how about battery life?
[HTC Sensation XL] jib_intelli:
Best battery life I ever got. :) Which is not a helpful comment, but in truth i have a full day running with 3G enabled.
[HTC Sensation XL] cimihendriks:
which version?
[HTC Sensation XL] JustPlayingHard:
For ART(Android Run Time) Disabled by default. heres the link.

In my case are Dalvik butvi just read that v6 has ART in standard option

Wysłane z mojego Sensation XL przy użyciu Tapatalka
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
Be carefully with enabling ART by default. Its in a very early stage still and there will come many changes to it, and since the early stage, it might add unwanted issues.
[HTC Sensation XL] onejay09:
i changed to art because people were having issues with the gallery, which is related to libdvm.so not being accesible when the error occurs,

im not sure if its a permission issue or just a bug butart was the simplest option to fix the reboot issue in gallery

[MENTION=2217081]anders3408[/MENTION]

art is actually quite ready and works well, its just some 3rd party apps that havnt been updated to use art yet

eg: titanium backup
[HTC Sensation XL] wetxxx:
I back to dalvik. I Will not take a risk. Dalvik cache works great, any apz doesn't report issue or crash. Only BT make me crazy.

Anders: Could you try me explain is it possible to bt works in cfx rom from you and this rom not? Voice command in bt works with crash but i don't cancel crash msg and I can talk by bt.

In cfx rom bt works without phone function ( alien speech on vonnection) other option works great.

Thx mate

Yesterday I have flash v6. Now I read v7, what different between v6 and v7?

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Inviato dal mio super HTC One Silver
[HTC Sensation XL] gnscon:
I'm up to version 7 now. Still seems to be going strong. I did find that ART was a bit slower than Dalvik and would lag between launcher and apps.

I had a thought re animated gifs (is anybody else having this issue). I figure it's related to the webkit(webview)/browser.

I'm getting the Exchange services error message as well.

Out of interest does anybody know the best way to take backups of apps and settings and then restoring all in one go? I've been using "App Backup and Restore" but it requires you to approve each app restore individually.
[HTC Sensation XL] hunting_:
7 is awesome everything work fine for me Goodluck and battery work awesome in 7

Hey guys

I am on v5 right now and i want to know if is there any way to install new version without wiping full system because i have make so much customisation that everytime i install new version it takes me hour to setup my phone again.

So please tell me if it's okay that i only wipe cache or dalvik or both or something like that.
[HTC Sensation XL] :
I have 105+ apps on this ROM and still smooth and fast

Here's the tweaks I've made to this ROM

Maybe you'll find them useful for you

I've changed the density to 180

I've deleted the following apps :

Talkback

Hangouts

Play store voice search

Voice dialer

I've disabled the following apps :

Email

Exchange services

CyanogenMod account

Apollo ( I use other 3 players )

Movie studio

Picasa uploader

I use greenify

I DON'T use task killers or battery savers !

But sometimes I underclock my CPU for better battery to 1024 when I'm out of my house MHz

I've enabled "allow puring of assets" in performance>> memory management settings

And that's it :D

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

Yes just wipe both catch and dalvik catch :)
[HTC Sensation XL] ak17:
Thanks mate will do..

Sent from my Sensation XL
[HTC Sensation XL] wetxxx:
I change density to 180 maybe it is good resolution and I change to 5 rows and columns. It was necessary to disable exchange serivice, email and other stuff to improve performance?

In my case this option make my rom slowest than before.

"I've enabled "allow puring of assets" in performance>> memory management settings."
[HTC Sensation XL] Siphoné:
I still have'nt repaired my SXL, but things are going SO fast ! Looks like we are closer and closer to a FINAL version :D
[HTC Sensation XL] :
Undetclocking your CPU will cause performance issues and lags but it was a suggestion to improve battery when u need it only not always

I was just sharing my tweaks will u guys :)
[HTC Sensation XL] hunting_:
yap we are close to FINAL version :D:victory::cowboy::highfive::cool:
[HTC Sensation XL] wetxxx:
V8:

1.auto fix permision doesn't work. I must use manual fix.

2. Camera is stable but don't have a advanced function like jpg quality or focus mode.

[HTC Sensation XL] :
For enabling auto focus in this new camera version go to settings >> more options in camera and choose focus mod

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

@onejay09 I suggest we keep thins ROM CyanogenMod stock without add-ons

Like xposed framework :)

If they want them they will install them cuz gravity box for example is not recommended for custom aosp ROMs like cm and AOKP only vanilla android but it works on all :P

But it may cause misbehaviors
[HTC Sensation XL] onejay09:
It depends on which launcher your using, launcher 3 doesn't lag
[HTC Sensation XL] wetxxx:
I dont have this option in my v8. I replace v7/ clear cache/dalvik than install v8 and done. I dont install gaaps another time.

My camera version is: 2.0.002 (fbc,,,,)

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

Replace old camera2.apk from v7. Settings now here :) But sometimes camera crash like version v8.
[HTC Sensation XL] onejay09:
The new camera, video recording doesn't work, reverted back to old camera in v8
[HTC Sensation XL] ddulic:
Epic release so far. Only problems I found is that I can't launch Google Drive, just crashes when trying to open a word document and when I close app sometimes strange fragmatations appear on the screen for a second. Also this is the 1st release since v1 where I had to do a full wipe :) Ah yes and some apps take a few seconds to open for some reason :/

Yea, twrp wont work, I've managed to make the older cwm compatible though.. Recompiling with a new audio-caf repo now, won't be long for first test ppl : )

If it boots I'll post the rom for testing
[HTC Sensation XL] onejay09:
Lol, I like the fact that the kernel works even though I never tested it when I built it,

So if all is working OK well be on 3.0.101 kernel :)
[HTC Sensation XL] dinozaur516:
Thank you OneJay for you interest to this phone! With you roms this phone will be alive for a long time! Particularly for me :)

Busy with family until Sunday guys sorry

No need to apologize friend, take your time :)
[HTC Sensation XL] JustPlayingHard:
We can wait over xmas
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
Twrp only needs one or 2 patches then it works with that also.

Also how do you know the kernel works when you can't flash the build?
[HTC Sensation XL] onejay09:
I tried the recovery from my build, and also tried it with cm10.1

Sorry forgot to mention it now flashes with regular cwm, as of yet bad egl config, and need adb working properly... Should see progress by Monday hopefully
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
So what happens when you tested it?

I can't wait

So interesting. I can't wait

And [MENTION=2402012]onejay09[/MENTION] I say that you'll get a donation from me (and I hope from almost everyone in this thread) if you're getting a kitkat stable daily build with no bugs to run on sensation XL.

Have a nice Christmas.

Hey guys, just a little update, I've fixed the issues I was having with the ROM, it boots up but no display yet, we need ion for display to work, I'm taking a break now, knowing it will work eventually...

merry Xmas everyone x
[HTC Sensation XL] JustPlayingHard:
Merry Xmas Jay
[HTC Sensation XL] WildfireDEV:
Although we don't have the same board you could look at the work done on the msm8660 kernel. We have ION mostly working and the important things all work. Here is a link https://github.com/Team-Hydra/android_kernel_htc_msm8660

Sent from my HTC One
[HTC Sensation XL] onejay09:
Thanks, since I ported a kernel its mostly got ion, all except the board.Runnymede.c + h,

And the defconfig

Shouldn't take more than a couple of atteMpts to compile with ion
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
Lexmazter did the same thing. Ion changes needs panel driver changes.
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
A quick look shows msm_fb and panel driver ain't good to go. Log indicates your using old msm_fb but that ain't good for 4.3 and -> there is alot of missing functions. So best would be to use new msm fb but then panel driver ain't capable to do that. So either way it needs to rewrite a part, rather a huge part.

W/SurfaceFlinger( 105): getting VSYNC period from fb HAL: 4464285 <---- if i remeber correctly that is odd, since we are faking VSYNC.

W/Adreno200-EGL( 105): <qeglDrvAPI_eglChooseConfig:780>: EGL_BAD_ATTRIBUTE <---- looks like your using wrong qcom blobs (adreno), but can be alot other things also

next 4 lines looks like missing function or error in msm_fb, if your still use old msm_fb then thats probably your issue here:

E/overlay ( 105): ERROR: MSMFB_MIXER_INFO ioctl failed

E/memalloc( 105): open_device: Failed to open ion device - No such file or directory

E/gralloc ( 105): gralloc failed err=No such file or directory

W/GraphicBufferAllocator( 105): alloc(480, 800, 2, 00000b03, ...) failed -2 (No such file or directory)

as an example. More will come and more is already showing in log . that's why I haven't made a kernel yet as it needs much time
[HTC Sensation XL] onejay09:
OK GUYS ANYONE WANNA TEST A WORKING BUILD? :laugh:
[HTC Sensation XL] :
Why V8 size is too big ?
[HTC Sensation XL] armageddon6:
I have installed v8 after another full wipe and delete of all caches. Bluetooth still not working for me only works on initial pairing and never after. Firefox won't run on it. Gravity Box crashes if try and open it. Sorry I am not sure what gravity box is.

I will keep testing...
[HTC Sensation XL] :
That's why I was suggesting not adding add-ons to this ROM like xposed modules [MENTION=2402012]onejay09[/MENTION] :D
[HTC Sensation XL] ddulic:
Whats wrong with the mods added? I feel they liven up the ROM, I like it much better like this. And the extra size is cause of the GAPPS that seem to be in the ROM now :)
[HTC Sensation XL] :
I mean I want xposed to be optional

And only the people who want it will install it
[HTC Sensation XL] ddulic:
You don't have to enable it, its just an icon that sits there if you don't. The size increase is due to the GAPPS. I don't see what the problem is here :P
[HTC Sensation XL] idan_abargel:
i am on v6, how do i update to v8? because OTA updater doesn't work
[HTC Sensation XL] kazai:
installing xpose will revert back to Dalvik. Xpose not supporting ART.
[HTC Sensation XL] ddulic:
Do a full wipe data, cache and install from recovery.
[HTC Sensation XL] gnscon:
You don't need to do that. Just install the ROM. Choose the zip and it will install over the top. That way you don't have to start from scratch again.
[HTC Sensation XL] onejay09:
Enable gravity box in modules section of xposed, reboot then try again
[HTC Sensation XL] idan_abargel:
thanks man, i don't want to do a full data wipe again, i already did it when i installed v6.

if i install v8 over v6 do i need to flash g-apps again or not?
[HTC Sensation XL] hunting_:
Any new update I'm still on v7 any chance to v9 today?
[HTC Sensation XL] ddulic:
I personally had to, that is why I said he should do it also, but w/e :)

this rom is awesome [MENTION=2447280]onejay[/MENTION] but why i can't find superuser icon in this rom ? do i need reroot? n why v8 is much bigger size? two launcher is really needed?? i prefer one is better..but awesome rom once again :)

is this rom has screen recorder app? bcause ive never had succeed with this kind of apps that i downloaded from the playstore.. anyone?
[HTC Sensation XL] onejay09:
upcoming in v9

smaller rom

remove unwanted apps (please post which apps you want removed)

build wifi drivers into kernel (apparently kitkat shouldnt have external modules)

make kernel smaller with gzip instead of lzo

speed things up a little again,

add some tweaks as the rom is completley stock! min free tweaks, and some init.d/build.prop tweaks,

im adding low mem back too sorry for who doesnt like it but the device is supposed to be run with that line

removing google experience launcher, can be added manually by user

adding new boot animation and new default runny-kitkat wallpaper

hopefully some real improvment in v9
[HTC Sensation XL] :
The unwanted apps for me are

Google drive

Talkback

Voice dialer

Google play voice search

Google experience launcher ( I use Nova)

Hangouts
[HTC Sensation XL] armageddon6:
Does anyone know of a Bluetooth work around? It is crucial for me and I don't want to have to go back to CM10.1. It pairs perfectly first time. turn device or phone off and then back on, it doesn't reconnect. Even going in manually selecting the device to pair on the phone, it wont reconnect. I have to unpair and then re pair every time I need to connect.

I hope there is something.

I have also found my battery is draining a lot faster with v8.

Thanks onejay and all that are giving me option to try. I love your work.
[HTC Sensation XL] rnpkr:
Ringtones & SMS tones ( just keep Couple of your fav..)

Browser ( less people stock browser)

Music player( I use poweramp)

Gapps ( coz i use my phone in 190 DPI and I use multi DPI dark gapps)

View attachment 2529058
[HTC Sensation XL] gnscon:
I agree with this list. I played with Hangouts during the first couple of iterations and then though, how can I destroy this thing. Went back to stock SMS which I like much better.

I disabled a lot of the other things in the list, found an app called RootAppDelete. After disabling them and adding that memory performance setting that somebody mentioned the ROM absolutely flies.

One question regarding the browser, as I've deleted it as well. What does the browsing in an App if not the stock browser? A lot of apps are really just wrappers for websites and they must use some browser. E.g. Gmail. In the original ROM versions these were black as I believe I read that the new browser was chrome and the original webkit had to be loaded back in. I believe it's that webkit that is preventing the animated gifs from working in those apps. And yes, I'm still banging on about animated gifs :cowboy: (though I have been quiet)
[HTC Sensation XL] :
No the stock AOSP browser is very important

I need it a lot
[HTC Sensation XL] ak17:
Hi onejay,

Thanks for timely update of this awesome ROM.

It would be great if u just integrate slim Gapps which u linked before, we will need only those everything else we can download from PLAY store.

And from cyanogenmode I wish this would be removed.(I m on v7 so don't know what u add on v8 but i don't think I would need that either)

1.cLock

2.voice dialer

3.DSP manager

4.search

5.and everything else which drains battery :laugh:

I like stock ROM or near to stock as much as possible, no fancy plain vanilla.

This what I think, u just remove what u feel right mate !!

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation XL] rnpkr:
I think make it slim as possible, by removing everything that we can download from play store.,..:D
[HTC Sensation XL] gnscon:
Nah, I like these two, especially DSP manager. Saves me having to put AwesomeBeats or some such thing.

A different question. Has anyone tried SpiritFM on this ROM? I think it's my mainboard as I just replaced it but when ever I run SpiritFM I just get static, the tuning doesn't change anything. Wondering if I got a dude main board.
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
No one at xda is allowed by Google to include any gapps in compiled roms, only for ported roms :) but I guess Google don't care anymore :p
[HTC Sensation XL] :
Lol noooo gapps is not compiled with this ROM except google experience launcher which is gonna be removed in V9 after adding it in V8

I've just said which apps I don't need :P

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

The biggest mistake to do is removing AOSP browser and DSP manager cuz these two you can't download from play store and I have to port back them again

Just remove downloadable apps [MENTION=2402012]onejay09[/MENTION] and if someone want to removed something else let him use third party app to do it :)
[HTC Sensation XL] ak17:
Hi onejay,

I think the best option is to include this in AROMA if possible.

because every person has their own sets of requirement. and you can't fulfill everyone's mate.

So, Do consider it if possible.
