Coming from 8.4

Just flashed 8.14 + GApp Mini --> No Root and No Developer/Advanced section in the Settings Menu to Enable / Disable Super SU

I'm flashing 8.12 now
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
Well,I have it.Just tap the build number 7-8 times and you will have dev options from.which you can then select root options.
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Love you :*

Thanx
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
You are welcome :D

Hey there,

1st THX for this really nice ROM!

But I have question, I miss under Developer Settings the menu entry to revoke authenticated PCs...

This is Android 4.4.4 right?

But I get no authentication dialog if I connect via Adb... Is the Adb secure build-in feature since android 4.2.2 disabled? If so, why have u excluded this feature?

For my understanding its a really big security issue.

Regards,

Sebastian
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
Wtf?!?This feature was always present in this ROM but since I installed newest weekly,options are grayed out!
[HTC Sensation] DJ_Uro_UE:
I tried Slimkat yesterday, and must say that it is fastest of all kitkat roms for sensation. Only lcd density is maybe too low for my needs, but that can be changed easily. Great rom, great work!
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
I'm not sure if this was ever set in Slimkat builds, but make the following change in build.prop to enable secure adb:

ro.adb.secure=1

It'll be in my next build.
[HTC Sensation] k1ll3r8e:
Hey there,

THX for the fast response! :)

It worked! So also THX for that hint! ;)

Here a few things i found out:

1. GPU stability (for me) is 100% OK, no crashes/freezes or something else

2. Security issue, "/", "/system", "/data" is always mounted as "RW" better u mount it by default "RO" coz if something get "SU" access it can modify system-files/folders or even wipe the complete phone^^

All other is working fine so far, really great work!

PS: I love the "The Real Dark Slim" :D it's great!

Regards,

Sebastian
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
You're welcome. I'm on my unofficial build so maybe that's the difference, but / and /system are RO (snipped output to highlight mentioned partitions):

u0_a90@android:/ $ su
root@android:/ # mount
rootfs / rootfs ro,seclabel,relatime 0 0
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system ext4 ro,seclabel,relatime,nobarrier,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata /data ext4 rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nobarrier,noauto_da_alloc,stripe=64,data=ordered 0 0

Maybe you have a file manager installed that remounts partitions RW?

P.S. /data has to be RW as all apps (user and system) write to it.

P.P.S. Once an app has SU, it can do just about anything it wants (including remounting partitions RW). Never give SU to an app you don't trust completely.

as u can see

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system ext4 rw,seclabel,noatime,nobarrier,data=ordered 0 0

is "RW" also on my other (backup-ed) version, after some restarts the mount is still "RW".

About the file-manager, i have currently no installed. Only the one which is shipped with the build, but this one i have not started until now. I explore my device via my "self made" explorer it uses adb and shell commands. So there is also no remount on my side.

*INFO*

Before i flashed this ROM i formatted all partitions except my sd-card.

Hope this helps :)

Regards,

Sebastian
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
I just clean flashed Official 8.16 by itself (no gapps or anything else) and I'm seeing the following via adb shell:

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system ext4 ro,seclabel,noatime,nobarrier,data=ordered 0 0

So, either it got fixed in 8.16 or it would appear there is an app you have installed and given SU rights or possibly put in priv-app that is changing /system to RW which I agree is very unsafe.
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
Where did you download official build from?Can you provide a link,'couse I only see weekly 8.16.Thanks
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
That's what I meant - official weekly. Pyramid doesn't have any "stable" builds as of yet.
[HTC Sensation] k1ll3r8e:
Hey there,

thank u for testing it also! - I also downloaded it again and re-flashed it now all seems be right!

(But i dun understand why this happens... Coz i also only installed the ROM it self and gapps minimal, after that i started the device and configured my G-Axx. Then i got an "playstore-service" update and installed the missing google apps (Maps, Earth, Notes, etc.))

Could it be that there was any cached data (from my old ROM) on any partition i can't format except cache,system,data?

Regards,

Sebastian
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
Not impossible, but very unlikely. I'd definitely keep an eye on it and check your bugreport logs if you see it change to RW again. Maybe there will be something noted in there.
[HTC Sensation] k1ll3r8e:
Hey there,

i have a problem with the "call waiting" function. I have it activated under phone settings and the menu item tells me the function is active, but if i get an call while i still have an active call the other call gets blocked. I only receive an sms with the content, someone called u.

Can u pls a have a look at this issue on ur device? To verify that i'm not the only one with this prob?

Many thx in advance! ;)

question, How to change alarm sound ? cant find it any where...?
[HTC Sensation] k1ll3r8e:
Hey there,

the settings u mean are right inside the "Alarm" menu, if u touch the clock for example... There u can define a sound for each entry.

[HTC Sensation] bomczz:
custom alarm sound

uhm. thank for reply but i mean custom sound. how to make an mp3 alarm sound. I tried put the mp3 file in System>media>audio>alarms but it was automatic deleted.
[HTC Sensation] andy hall:
try converting it to .ogg format, I had issues on a desire KK rom tryig to use none .ogg files
[HTC Sensation] marky_bill:
Do you get the option to use a file explorer instead of media storage, if you do use that once and find your mp3 file on the sd card, should then be in the media storage list from then on.
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
I do not see pyramid in download section anymore.WTF?

EDIT: my bad,its there :D
[HTC Sensation] aristotle95:
Hi,

I recently flashed this Rom onto my sensation but for some reason I have incredible battery drain, like a lot! Especially when i reboot the phone it takes out about 20% of it's charge. This morning I was lucky to get 30 minutes of use on it and this was just watching videos.

I have also noticed that the phone wont charge when turned on, but when off it charges fine?

This is a software problem I believe as i havn't had problems on other roms.

Any helps appreciated,
[HTC Sensation] Mrsofsof:
[MENTION=6321747]aristotle95[/MENTION] which recovery and Version of Rom Do you use? I would try a New clean install with the latest Official gapps.

Do you use an app to change CPU speed and govenor?
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
I too have a huuge battery drain and I discovered what is the problem.Its the f.cking 3g network.When I set it to only 2g its ok and battery lasts very long but as soon as I go back to 3g battery juice is dropping reallyfast!Believe it or not I am back to Revolution HD(4.0.3).One problem is also present.Sometimes I cannot send sms messages.And when I reboot its ok.But 2 days ago it happened again and even reboot did not help it.I am just sick of finding and logging and discoverying problems.I do not have time for it anymore ;)

[HTC Sensation] namila007:
can anyone share usb modem drivers working with this rom?
[HTC Sensation] c0rsa1r:
Perfect ROM, I flashed it 2 days ago and it's running very very fast and smooth.

There is only one bug that is really annoying me. If i set the phone in "vibrate only" or "silent" mode, the ringtone does mute, but the notification sound is still there on and loud. I've notice that if I go to settings there is an option that "Link" (sorry for language) the ringtone volume to the notifications volume, but it doesn't work so I have to manually lower the volume via setting every single time I want to switch between "normal" and "vibrate/silent" mode.

Am I doing something wrong? How am I supposed to fix that?

Thanks for any help!
[HTC Sensation] d3adbroke:
Flashed this ROM but it's saying that I don't have root?
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:

Hi

Just a moment ago i have my phone being a hotspot while my daughter plays her game on the phone and suddenly it turns off (i know my battery isn't beautiful anymore) so i pluged in the charger, wait for about 5minutes and turns the phone back.

Funny thing now in the bottom setting menu (all those android version and blabla) it shows that my "Baseband version" is Unknown.

Theres no signal, and most irritating part is the phone is very, i mean very laggy.

I already try to flash PB58IMG.zip to rewrite the Radio but it tells me i got wrong CID.

I remember flashing PB58IMG from latest 3.33 is working flawlessly on Slimkat's ROM but now it doesn't do the magic.

Anyone have some info or better, know how to fix my phone?

Thank you in advance
[HTC Sensation] Burth67:
Hallo Dexter93, it has been a wile, is there any update in the works. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[HTC Sensation] Mrsofsof:
No update, go on slimroms.net for any updates news.

But if there isn't a release news, no chance.

The lollipop version is in an alpha status but not for our device
[HTC Sensation] HTC_Cyber:
For Lollipop not cyany mod we must wait i found not a stabil 5.0 Version.flashing the last 3 days

I just updated my pyramid to Slim-pyramid-4.4.4.build.9.0-OFFICIAL-8305 but gapps aren't working.

I tried Slim-Addons-full_gapps.4.4.4.build.9-20150107 2015-01-07 and also normal and minimal version.

Has anyone a solution or a hint?
[HTC Sensation] MaratabHashmi:
Flash SuperSU 1.95 through recovery its helpful for me to root access....
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
Thanks but the built-in one works fine for my apps after "disabling" it and then enabling it by setting it to Apps (or Apps and adb). You might try that the next time you do a clean install unless you have an app that requires SuperSU.
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
Ok so I've enabled Super suand here's the bugreport.zip
[HTC Sensation] suiller:
all works very well, all smooth & functional

but there is a bug, at least for me, when shooting a pic with flash... badaboom the phone reboots

without flash all is perfect in the camera :good:
[HTC Sensation] GALLA_4:
Camera with flash working here no problem...
[HTC Sensation] suiller:
really strange... I started from scratch... clean installation

just for curiosity I have a sensation XE, sharp panel if I remember well, and you?
[HTC Sensation] snierecht:
No problem here with flash. I think you should replace your battery. Anker is cheap and good
[HTC Sensation] suiller:
battery? why? it works well...
[HTC Sensation] tomer1981:
installed successfully after using FIX.zip.

first time using slimrom. looks great so far.

how do i change grid size (on GNL)? is there a built-in feature or should i use gravitybox?
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
If you're looking for DPI change,

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/f...ou-add-the-dpi-changer-in-settings-in-slimkat
[HTC Sensation] thanet:
please show me how?

I still use 4ext recovery :)
[HTC Sensation] tomer1981:
not quite what i meant, but did want to change this as well, so thanks.

what i originally wanted is to change the grid size - meaning the number of icons per row or column (regardless of dpi).

if i do want the original dpi - what is it?

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

@dexter93 - rom works great so far. been playing with it and tweaking it.

changed dpi with the above solution. will install xposed in a few moments.

one (important) bug - FC when taking a picture with a flash. without a flash it's working fine.

and before you ask or comment - i DO use an anker battery.

even with this bug - great work !!! this rom runs more smoothly than sultans or pacrom. :good:
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
FC's on camera with flash aren't battery related, neither are reboots (as some think). Battery issue might be when phone shut down while using flash.

When camera fcs maybe there needs something to be fixed.
[HTC Sensation] tomer1981:
oops... let me correct myself - the phone DID shut down... i have to choose my words carefully here...

in that case - i'll try to change to the other anker battery i received (i ordered two...), and report later.
[HTC Sensation] suiller:
Yep I agree... anyway my battery is full charged... when shooting with flash the display turns off and when you try to turn it on trough power physical button the device reboots
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
Usually that means there is an issue with battery or maybe with contacts. Though I don't know if it's really that easy to say that it can't be an kernel issue, maybe there is a chance that it actually can be.
[HTC Sensation] tomer1981:
I'll try changing batteries and report later. I have 2 ankers + the original one...

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

@dexter93 - another bug/issue i'm experiencing is that the phone heats up quite a lot, even on low-consumption apps. anyone else experience that?
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
Download Rom and fix, open Rom and fix with winrar in separate windows and copy the files in the fix and paste it in the Rom, then flash the Rom in 4ext.
[HTC Sensation] tomer1981:
I used 7zip, but ok...
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
WinZip also works ;)
[HTC Sensation] suiller:
I don't think so... I tried all KK rom here around and only this (one) presented this issue, of course nothing serious but if would been a battery issue I would encountered also with shantur or other dev roms... isn't it?
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
Winzip or WinRar? There's a difference and as far as I know it doesn't work with winzip :eek:

As I said I don't know of there's a chance of being a software issue, all I know it's usually hardware related, but I wouldn't say always.
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
guys, appreciate the feedback, but I can't do much without logs

random shutdown/reboot? get last_kmsg

thing X not working/FC? get logcat

my wifi/camera/whatever hardware related crashes and burns? logcat and dmesg

or simply, make a bugreport, it includes all of these
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
I uploaded my bugreport.zip yesterday after enabling su.
[HTC Sensation] suiller:
cleaned cache+dalvik (even if as I mentioned I started from a clean setup) and now camera flash doesn't crash anymore the device

very very strange... I'll give a deeper look :good:
[HTC Sensation] tomer1981:
How do I make a bug report?
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
Follow the instructions here http://slimroms.net/index.php/bugs

Or better still do what you did for the bug to appear, reproduce the bug multiple times, after that got settings >SlimCenter >Bugreport.

A bugreport.zip will be created in a folder named slim in you sdcard
[HTC Sensation] groovepeppy:
screen dpi looks to small for me :(, anything else works fine, lovely rom
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
A quick search about "dpi" would have got you this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52500753&highlight=dpi#post52500753

It's normal that this rom has smaller dpi by default.
[HTC Sensation] snierecht:
I Luke that. You can go to settings -> display and raise fontsize. I've set it to big.

Got one minor problem. Music was lagging/stuttering when mobile data was changing from E/G to H/4g (I've been going by train). I use Apollo player. Don't know if its a ROM or app problem though
[HTC Sensation] scihte:
I'm having an issue with Google Play stating certain apps are not compatable with my device when I go to reinstall them after swtiching from CM to this ROM.

I wiped everything when I came over and did a clean install. I tried wiping cache&data for Google Play and reflashing the Gapps but am still getting the same response. ( IE angry birds starwars. I had it yesterday with CM but not now with Slimkat)

Any suggestions on what to try next?
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
Your logs are fantastic.

/sarcasm

[HTC Sensation] K3nshiro:
Lol, thanx for making me smile ;)
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
So, twrp updated with dumlock support, instructions for the S-ON people here

also, new 4ext should be released by now. New build will be up sometime tonight. Happy flashing

try setting the dpi back to 240. Google can be paranoid
[HTC Sensation] jmcclue:
New 4ext recovery RC2 is released. I just flashed it
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
Link please, and do you flash in recovery?
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
I flash this mod to fix that issue.
[HTC Sensation] K3nshiro:
It's a test build. If you install 4ext recovery control 2.46 (free for 3 days) you can download the test build for yourself.

Click on online install /upgrade
[HTC Sensation] jmcclue:
Just download the free 4ext recovery updater app and flash recovery using the app.

[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
New build is up. Changelog in OP. enjoy
[HTC Sensation] leos0000:
Yo bro where link for latest new build ? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Are you teasing us? ;)
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:

can I dirty flash the new build over the old one or should I clean install it.
[HTC Sensation] gemer45a:
I always opt for a clean install ;)
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
You might find it hard to believe, but I misclicked the "publish" option on dev-host :eek: It's fixed now.

Try flashing the new build with the latest 4ext. If it doesn't work, give me a pm.

Dirty flash instructions: Wipe cache, dalvik and format system manually. Then flash on top

Always opt for a clean install unless you can't help it.

Battery life?

Any feedback on the battery life on this build?

And in general, whatțs the best ROM with the best battery life ? :/
[HTC Sensation] leos0000:
Good battery.fast mm. Nice rom .dont see bugs mm
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
Okay didn't test it a lot, just gave it a quik peek to check if anything in gps is other here, but doesn't seem like that.

Though I checked if I have problems with taking pics with flash shuts down my phone too, but I was able to take several pics without problems.

Looks like a very stable and smooth rom, but I won't stay, because I miss to much features :D

EDIT: Even though my gps problem is not solved, the compass works here better than in other roms.
[HTC Sensation] bizon:
This ROM is my daily driver since it was released. Very fast, smooth and stable with great battery life - the best ROM I've tried for a long time. I didn't noticed any bugs - everything works as it should be. Thanks a lot to the dev for this masterpiece and I hope he will go on bringing new life to our old phones!
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Okay this is going to sound dumb to you guys but I didn't expect everything to be so...tiny on this ROM. I've used SlimBean in the past and it didn't look like this so I didn't expect it.

All icons and pages are so small that's it's hard to read on these poor aged eyes! LOL!

Is there a way to make things more "normal sized"?

No snyed remarks, please! ;)

Thanks in advance!!!
[HTC Sensation] NiTrO_Vlr:
Camera Flash issue

As far as I noticed the phone hangs up if you use flash with low battery, in the stock ROM it just wouldnțt let you use the flash is the battary lvl is lower than x%. is it possible to make a script to do the same for this rom ?

BTW Still trying to calibrate the battery to get the most of it, will let you guys know what I have achieved.

Other than this, the ROM is GREAT! Thanks again! :fingers-crossed:

In order to increase the size of the things you can change the dpi using this program from the default 182dpi to 200dpi or even more. I myself went up to 220 dpi :)
