Installation instruction for Sensation ROM 4.x

First I had a problem with the camera, too. But then I found a solution:

Please download the following files for installation:

You can find them on the official S5 Sensation ROM website

in the download an addon menue.

Official site: http://s5sensationrom.webs.com/download

Required files:

===========

1. Sensation Rom 3.0 (ca. 995 MB)

2. S5SensationROM-v4.0-AROMA.zip (ca. 1.3 GB)

3. OTA Update Support = OTA.zip (ca. 229 KB)

You need a special recovery on your phone.

I use PhilZ Touch CWM Advanced Edition 6.44.9 (Recovery).

Here you can find it: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953

Installation:

=========

1. Copy all required files to your smartphone internal/external sd-card.

2. Start Recovery Mode

3. Wipe data/factory reset (caution: you lost all apps/data on your smartphone!!! Backup first, if you want!)

4. Install S5SensationROMv3-sunajkram23.zip (=Sensation Rom 3.0)

5. Reboot system now and start the installed Sensation Rom 3.0 (this is very important!)

7. After the ROM start you can ignore or insert your personal information and google account.

Then start the camera app. If you see a preview of the picture on the screen, it is working fine.

8. Reboot into recovery (do NOT make a wipe of data!)

9. install S5SensationROM-v4.0-AROMA.zip

10. Reboot system now and you will get a setup menue to choose the components for installation.

One of the first questions is: Do you want to wipe data/system? YES / NO

Here it is very important to choose NO !!! Otherwise the camera did not work!

11. Then you can choose the apps you want to use.

I installed the S5 camera experimental ! It works, but not all functions do what they should (e.g. HDR is buggy).

If you want to make HDR-Photos, you should not install the S5 experimental camera!!!

12. After the installation dialog the system reboot again and start the Sensation ROM 4.0.

13. Now start the recovery mode again and install the ota.zip (do NOT make a wipe of data!)

14. Start the system again

15. Now you can find a new app OTA Updater and start it

16. You can see a new available update for Sensation ROM to Version 4.1 (ca. 14 MB)

17. Download the update and install it. (Sometimes the installation does not work automatically).

18. Start the recovery mode again and install the downloaded update file manuelly.

The update file is on your internal sd-card in the "OTA-Updater\Download" folder.

Install the s5-sensation-rom-4.1zip file and restart the rom.

Now all updates are installed and you have the latest Sensation ROM 4.1.

I removed many system or useless apps to reduce the memory usage

of the rom. Actually I have ca. 230 MB free ram. I use greenify to stop

many apps in the background.

GOOD LUCK!

I am trying this now..hope it works..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AzirDV:
Nice instruction sir.but for a noob like me.im only doing this.

2nd i download OTA support from mega flash on recovery

3rd new software update appera in my statusbar

4th i download and flash in recovery

5th now it work well

[Galaxy S III Android Development] highwar:
I have used the rom till now

its fast and smooth..I have reverted to archidroid port of note2 to see differences..

the archi rom is a bit faster ..just a bit..since it doesnt have all the s5 functions and ui like you did

my opinion- I dont know I relay like the s5 and I realy like archi rom lol

well I might again install this rom and see how it goes

Task Manager

How can I get Task Manager popup with holding the home button? Right now on this ROM you have to touch the = beside the home button for task manager to come up.. hate it.

[MENTION=5545230]sunajkram23[/MENTION] the v4.1 is quite impressive.

I salute you for that.

Now just one issue.

If that is solved the ROM is complete.

And the issue is RAM usage.

I have a suggestion for it.

Why don't you zipalign it so at least we have more RAM available.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] masterjp:
You came from ArchiPort beta 1. That is the reason, why you do not have any problems with the camera in Sensation ROM 4.x!!!

I am coming from Samsung Stock-ROM with Android 4.3 and tried to install Sensation Rom 4.0. It works fast and fine, but not the camera.

The camera with HDR function is very important for me.

So I installed Sensation ROM 3.0 first. I started the camera app and it works.

Then I flashed the Sensation ROM 4.0 and the camera app works, too.

Something must be wrong with the Sensation ROM 4.0 install file!

I tried the basic S3 camera app and S5 camera app. Both do not work,

if you install Sensation ROM 4.0 directly from Samsung Stock-ROM!

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

If you have a slow ROM or RAM problems, you can install greenify to stop normal apps or system apps (=> for system apps stopping you need the pro version of greenify).

I changed the ZRAM size from 256 MB to 320 MB. (you can change it with: Universal Init.d Freeware App from Google Play Store)

Sometimes I am using multitasking and the system runs better with this settings. Furthermore I am using SD-Booster with 1 MB cache for internal and external sd-card! You can find the app in Google Play Store (Freeware).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ClaudioIT:
I did not understand the instructions to install the ROM, which version should I install first?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jamespanget19:
Very well said.

Can i ask you to tell me what apps(normal/system) should be greenified and shouldnt?

Why did you change the zram 256mb which is present in the 4.1 update to 320 and what is zram?

TIA
[Galaxy S III Android Development] masterjp:
Yes, you can ask me. If you greenify your normal apps, you could not do something wrong.

If your greenified app has a strange behaviour, you can go a step back and undo the greenify process.

That is very easy. Learning by doing.

My Greenified Google/System apps:

------------------------------------------------------

- Google Chrome

- Google Search

- Google Camera

- Google Street View

- Google Earth

- Google Translator

---

I have installed only a few Samsung Stock-Apps on my mobile.

Many RAM using apps you can uninstall e.g. with Titanium Backup.

---

ZRAM increase the free amount of RAM in your mobile and swap parts of the ram to your internal sd-card.

Many apps e.g. facebook, google+, Video player, etc. use a big amount of RAM (Facebook = ca. 100 MB).

With ZRAM (=256 MB) or (=320 MB) you have more free ram for running apps in the foreground.

With ZRAM I will have ca. 200-250 MB free RAM, if I use ZRAM with 256 MB.

If I use 320 MB RAM setting, I will get ca. 230-300 MB free RAM after booting android.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

Which ROM do you use at the moment?

If you came from Samsung Stock Rom or Omnirom/Cyanogenmod you should do the following steps:

1. Install Sensation Rom 3.0

Test the camera! If it works fine, you will be able to install Sensation Rom 4.0.

Do not activate the wipe data setting in the setup! It is very important!

If you want to make HDR photos with your S3 camera, you should not install the s5 experimental camera!

It does not work.
