From a quick google, it appears this is a known issue (see here). I'll look into it more later but thought I'd post this in case others are interested in finding fixes.

Having been using this ROM as my main driver for a couple of months now. Have been dirty flashing from the official 7.9 getting upto 8.9. Found the phone was slowing and battery life was getting worse. So backed up my sms, nova settings and all user apps using titanium. Clean flashed the ROM and gapps restored my user apps sms and nova settings set DPI to 240, took about 90 mins, and the phone is now flying. Battery life is much better lasting well over a day for my use, before was lasting about 16 hours. So a big thanks for keeping the old senny going. Hope this info helps other users.
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
I haven't tried this as I always clean flash, but next time try these steps:

Make a 4ext (nandroid) backup

Format all partitions (except sdcard)

Restore your backup

In theory that should give you the speedup as well. I'm assuming the slowdown is due to FSTRIM support being disabled in the 3.4 kernels. These steps will give you "trimmed" filesystems and you should be back up and going within 10mins.
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
8.10 update is available. I decided to use the money from a early donation on a USB OTG adapter. This allowed me to configure and test USB OTG support. Let me know if any of your devices are not working. I've personally tested thumb drives and mice. This release also fixes some annoying bugs with the camera. Snaps during vertical videos are mostly fixed. They'll be horizontal but at least they're no longer corrupted. There's also been some tweaks in build.prop and in 89kernel. For a full changelog, see my github.

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] bluefender:
thanks for the update m8
[HTC Sensation] gc2712:
I just tried this after a dirty flash of 8.10 update. It does speed things up a lot. Thanks for the continuing effort with this rom. Greatly appreciated. (now if only they reintroduce fstrim support in kernel for us). Am really pleased to have OTG support at last. Something I've always missed. But there seems to be no option for safely unmounting/removing the USB flash drive. Its listed in settings>storage, but no unmount option. Any solutions for safe removal of flash drive?
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
Should be a usb storage entry at the very bottom of settings - storage for unmounting the drive.
[HTC Sensation] gc2712:
There is only an option for unmounting sd card underneath usb storage entry

(See attached screenshot of storage settings.)but I tried it anyway and although referring to sdcard it did in fact unmount the USB flash drive correctly. Many thanks.
[HTC Sensation] der_laufer:
Wrong thread....
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
I'll see if there's a good way to change the wording on that to make it less confusing. It confused me too the first time I saw it.
[HTC Sensation] marky_bill:
After doing a dirty flash from 8.8 to 8.10 everytime I reboot i get the Android is upgrading optimising apps m of n (m and n are numbers). Anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
Here's what the other option for storage mounting/unmounting looks like. This might be slightly better but I don't really have a preference. What do you guys think? Note that the SDCARD gets labelled as USB storage as well.
[HTC Sensation] gc2712:
Both are still confusing (as was the original). Although now that I know USB is labelled as SDCARD its just something I have to remember. But easily fixed properly I would have thought, as to even recognize the usb flash drive it is aknowledging the mount point\device details. I guess a job for upstream developers though?
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
I decided to go ahead and build LiquidSmooth myself (I know Sajito has already made it as well). At this time, it's completely unsupported. Please don't post anything about it in this or Sajito's thread, but if you'd like to try it out here's the link:

md5sum: 72279786a90e88c39435af66292a72ef

P.S. All of the changes I made to get it compiling are committed to my github if you want to build it yourself.

Update: V4A is broken. I'll look into that soon.
[HTC Sensation] marky_bill:
Found proble was caused by Link2SD, after relinking the files problem went away.
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
ROM updated to 8.14. Big changes with this release include using gcc-4.8 for ROM and kernel compilation and updated adreno graphics drivers.

The abbreviated changelog is in the second post and the full changelogs can be found on github.

I've noticed that dexter93 is doing a lot of work on official now and it's looking very good and up-to-date. Definitely worth checking that out as well.

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] saldymhmd:
Just flashed latest build. No issues so far, speedy, smooth, this is slimkat! I'm curious why you haven't add cooler display control?
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
Overlooked, I guess. It'll be in the next build.
[HTC Sensation] nupity:
I dirty flashed from 8.9 to 8.14 and it immediately FC com.android.systemui

help?
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
Do a clean flash? It is always advised to do a clean flash when there is a large change between updates. 8.9 and 8.14 are more than 5 weeks apart.
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
Did you wipe cache and dalvik-cache in recovery? I can't remember if the installer does that or not and I'm not able to check right now. If that doesn't work then you'll probably have to clean flash.
[HTC Sensation] nupity:
I did wipe cache+dalvik after the installation and tried again after it didn't work.
[HTC Sensation] marky_bill:
I did a dirty flash from 8.10 to 8.14 with out problems, ut it doesn't take much more to do a clean install and restore apps and data
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
8.16 update is here. Changes are pretty small on this one but I did use JustArchi's compiler optimizations for gcc 4.8 which may help performance. Let me know what you think once your install has settled. A lot of translation updates from upstream may be of interest with this version as well.

Abbreviated changelog in the second post and full changes on github.

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
8.18 update has landed. One of the major annoyances with slim for me has been its inability to save sounds to /system/media. They just get wiped out of the database. I'm hoping this update finally squashes that bug. It's also possible that muting during calls has been fixed with this release. Although I haven't had a chance to test muting yet, I've seen other fixes that were with that patch have been applied.

Abbreviated changelog in the second post and full changes on github.

Cheers!

P.S. This thread has been pretty quiet. What are the remaining bugs that you'd like to see fixed?
[HTC Sensation] marky_bill:
You're too quick I still haven't installed 8.16 lol
[HTC Sensation] TheWall-[ITA]:
We are *quietly flashing* :D

This ROM is incredibly smooth and I don't have any bug to report at the moment.

The only thing I want to say: the 8.14 is working great for me; I tried the 8.16 with both dirty and clean flash, but I felt like it was not as smooth as the previous one. For now, I'm sticking with 8.14. BTW it's just my experience, it may be placebo effect :eek:
[HTC Sensation] SkyLK:
Usually when it is quiet, everything is ok. :)
[HTC Sensation] gc2712:
I agree. I've been very happy with this ROM. Mostly, it "just works", so not much to say except thanks. I will try this latest update though (as I have all the earlier ones since first installing).
[HTC Sensation] LeopardsX:
I love this rom but i do find my battery life is bad, its not any real problem with this rom its self its to do with the radio firmware i installed few years ago, could you tell me what version of radio you use and what country you are in? when im using the net on my phone it will only last about 1 to 2 hours of use on this rom, which is terrible when it used to do like days. i currently have Radio 11.76C.3504.00P_11.29A.3504.18_M on mine. im in the UK.
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
How old is your battery? Different rafio firmwares made no difference in my testing.

This ROM has an average battery life.
[HTC Sensation] LeopardsX:
Hi thats what I thought it might be, but I recently bought a new battery and its more or less the same, ive had the device about 4 years now.. battery has been bad since i tried another rom which suggested that you use there radio because there tests said it worked better on it, so i stupidly did it at the cost of my battery life, of course i have no idea now how to revert that change or what band it was using before i flashed it!

One problem i can think of and the reason why im asking this here, is that if the RIL settings arent a match for the radio, it can cause battery life drain, the radio im using at the moment is a newish one, but your rom overides the RIL which is good, because when Ive tried matching the radio to the so called right RIL i get no signal, but I do when i let this rom do it, which means it caters for UK, but I think i just need maybe an older radio that works better for my device so was wondering what the devs tested with.

its the baseband version under the about on the phone if people could recommend one?
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
Interesting. I expected it to be an old battery as well. Does turning off mobile broadband help (just curious, not saying that's a solution)?

Here's what I use although it probably won't help in your location:

3.32.531.14 firmware package from here. It comes with 11.76C.3504.00U_11.29A.3504.18_M. You'll have to search that thread for mirrors if interested.
[HTC Sensation] LeopardsX:
Thanks for the suggestion, yes if i dont use broadbad the battery will last about 2 to 3 days, your radio is quite newish as well by looks of things, i might that a go since its a different type of radio than ive tried in the past, but always hesitant to do these things in cause i end up making things worse! If i do ill let you know.

Maybe its time i bought a cheap HTC One off ebey!
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
Definitely sounds like there is an issue there. Here's the various radios thread if you haven't seen it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202867 And here's the firmware thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767.

Good luck! Maybe a fellow UK user will post what they run later.
[HTC Sensation] LeopardsX:
Big thank you bud, ive installed Firmware 3.33 Universal, to see if that improves things, hopefully someone from the UK can suggest another radio like you say.. thanks again
[HTC Sensation] SkyLK:
My is Radio 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M Czech Republic. Battery 3 months old. battery will last about 2 days
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
On my sensation I have the official 3.33 wwe firmware and everything that comes with it. On aosp based roms I usually get 1.5-2 hours screen on time along with about 21-22 hours battery life. All this with moderate usage and on wifi all time. On sense based roms it a wee bit better by 2-2.5 h. of screen on time and 24-25 hours of battery. I previously used the official slimkat and always had the above stats. Btw. I still have the original battery shipped with the senny... :) and I'm in the UK

Sent from my HTC One
[HTC Sensation] LeopardsX:
Thanks for letting me know what radio you use, i may end up trying it!

wifi uses more for me, but once my phone is fully charged ill leave on the wifi and screen and let you know how long it lasts, when the phone is idle it did last about 3 days, thats with just the network signal on. do you happen to know what radio you use, its in the about phone section under baseband version, if you have the original it might point me in the right direction.
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
Radio: 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M

As I can see the only difference between [MENTION=921455]SkyLK[/MENTION] and mine is the letter U after the zeros

Sent from my HTC One
[HTC Sensation] LeopardsX:
I was just reading up on what you gave, i havent found a reason for it yet, but the universal 3.33 firmware comes with that exact version you have which is whats on my phone at the moment, someone was saying that some people had the P and others U, I guess its country specific but not sure about that, ill just have to see how my tests go in a lil bit..

Someone said the letters may depend on what carrier you use, but I dont think this is the case, because for one you have many different carriers, two the RIL file settings contain the carrier or satellite information, I found that out the hard way lol (No signal), or thats my understanding of it based on my experience so far, well another thing the satellite or carrier information is obviously already on the device, and these RIL files simply replace or add to these, so whether this information is in the OS Rom, or hidden someplace else i dont know.

Ok here is the result of my battery test, its lasted a lil above 4 and half hours with screen and mobile broadband constantly on, i didont do wifi because its not a good test for the modem use to test the radio version we have, it is better than what it used to do before thats for sure, im sure i could get 4 or might even get 5 days of idle use out of it. Ill do another few more tests the same test but with wifi on, data off, screen on, and one with data on and screen off as if it were in your pocket going out.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
You can get back your original radio by flashing your RUU, your CID will help you find the correct one.

Enter code below in a terminal app to get your CID.

getprop ro.boot.cid

You should be fine with the 3.33 universal firmware and the latest radio though, the U and P are just something you can change in build.prop.

Add/change the below line in build.prop to either 2 or 3 to get either U or P.

ro.ril.hsxpa=

All the required info. is in the Sensation Radio/Ril thread.
[HTC Sensation] LeopardsX:
Thanks, I gave my self SuperCID years ago and cant remember what it was originally, but thank you for the explanation, its looking like i have no problems so far with the firmware update and slimkat still works great.
[HTC Sensation] SkyLK:
Hi LordNerevar,

no full contact picture incomming call to lockscreen.

Open your dialer and goto settings. Scroll down to Glowpad transparency and tick the checkbox.
[HTC Sensation] SkyLK:
Super, thx
[HTC Sensation] gc2712:
Unable to add slider targets

Trying to add a slider target/shortcut causes an FC when opening that option under Settings>Interface>Lockscreen>additional Options. A search of the forum shows that was also the case (reported) with an earlier version of the ROM (8.18 for me now). Is there a solution to this? I just want to put my phone camera on the lockscreen for quick access.
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
Update 8.20 is available. This update brings a shiny new kernel (3.4.105). Taking from liquidsmooth, I've also optimized the LDFLAGS somewhat. This should make the ROM a bit smoother but as always, you tell me. Finally, [MENTION=5354919]gc2712[/MENTION] got his request in just under the wire and I've fixed the lockscreen target selection.

Abbreviated changelog in the second post and full changes on github.

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] gc2712:
Just downloaded and flashed update. Terrific! Glad I had lucky timing re: lockscreen target selection. Still stable so far. (Not time to explore much yet.)
[HTC Sensation] xWolf13:
Just out of curiosity, is there a plan to build SlimLP?
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
Some code that I was testing accidentally made it into the last build and it causes the video camera to stutter. So, if you use that feature you'll probably want to grab update 2 (see second post). My apologies if this affected anyone. There are no other changes to this build.

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
I'll be looking at it in my free time, but I don't expect to release anything soon. In my opinion it isn't near ready. I'm not even sure if it's ready for mako (Nexus 4) as my friends phone keeps having issues with voice calls (no sound either way). And that's with the Google OTA update.
[HTC Sensation] marietto3404:
I do not understand why it is from 24 hours that I can not send and receive text messages.

Please help me
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
The only things I can think of would be either a rogue app or old firmware/radio. If you are on TMOUS, try their 3.32.531.14 firmware. I recently reinstalled this and it's working great with included radio 11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2. If you are not on TMOUS, try the firmwares/radios from these threads:

Update: I added this info to the FAQ on the OP.
[HTC Sensation] TheCheshireMan:
In addition to what LordNerevar said, make sure you didn't forget "Privacy Guard" enabled on your sms app of choice, especially if you enable it by default for every new app or if you have just changed it, it happened to me once and it took me two hours to realize what was happening--

You can find it in Settings > Security > Privacy Guard

ART

Greetings everyone ,

i am experiencing a weird problem with ART , this is the first time me trying ART on any ROM , i just wanted to test it out.

I am kinda stuck at the boot animation for about 30+ minutes . I see people saying it should take about 10 minutes , so im wondering what the problem could be.

I wiped cache/dalvik , switched to ART and rebooted my device , and its stuck on the boot animation , maybe its normal and my device needs longer but i doubt , but i will keep trying and watching it. :) if it doesnt boot what do you guys suggest , is there a way to switch back to dalvik without booting the device or is a full wipe and installing the rom fresh needed?

BTW

My ROM was almost fresh , had 450 mb free space on phone and 5 gb on sd card , if it matters .

---

Also if it doesn't boot soon i will try a factory reset , heard it helped to at least boot the device and get it back to dalvik .

that was the first and last time trying ART ;)

thank you
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Probably to late but for future if you say edit system and phone boot loops, you can use Aroma file manager/terminal to revert the edit. It comes in handy and been using for ages, you use it in recovery by flashing it. Possibly deleting dalvik and renaming libs might of done the trick or using terminal to change the setting.
[HTC Sensation] BliZzArD_420:
Heh yes i already did the factory reset , and thanks for the reply i might try it.
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
I cant wait to see your next update. :D
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
New 9.0 unofficial build is available (see 2nd post). Nothing new from me this time. As always, post your bugreports here if you find anything.

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
Thank you for your update!

Is it possible to get UMS mass storage option on this rom? I tried MTP before and I find it extremely clunky. MTP forces me to copy my large video files to a computer before I can view them.
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
You're welcome. Try Settings -> Storage -> Settings (3-dot) -> USB computer connection
[HTC Sensation] ThatsABigOne:
Oh wow, I can't believe I never used that menu before.

Thank you again!
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
Testers Needed!!!

Since the Slim team has stopped making GApps for 4.4.4, I decided to upload the GApps that I've assembled. Mods: If this is against forum policy, please delete and I'll remove the upload. My main reason for doing this was to regain multi-DPI capability. If that is not important to you, then there probably isn't any need to test these other than to maybe save a little space in /data. This package does not remove _any_ existing applications from /data although Android itself might. It will overwrite applications in /system. For these reasons, it's best to install these after a clean install.

Hope you're having a wonderful Christmas!

README:

These GApps are optimized for 240dpi devices (version -034). All GApps are

zipaligned and recompressed for optimal speed/size. GooglePlayServices,

GoogleServicesFramework, Phonesky and PlayGames have been modified

to be multi-DPI. Phonesky has been modified to not self auto-update. The

base is taken from both Slim and PA Gapps. The rest of the GApps were

downloaded by my Sensation from the Play Store and are therefore for v7a

devices only. All GApps install to /system.

Updated recompression script to properly handle memory mapped resources which need to be uncompressed. This fixes the voice search app.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Hi, hope you've had a wonderful Xmas too. I read in the PA Gapps thread that when there is a newer or the same version of an apk in system than in data, android itself removes the one from data. I haven't tested this myself and maybe different for TRDS signed apks on data but thought I'd mention it, I will try it when I have enough internet data.

Also swap works really well on this rom, excellent multitasking :good:
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
I went ahead and packaged a minimal version of my gapps if you're interested. Please see the link here. I'll add these to the OP after a little more testing.

Happy New Year!
[HTC Sensation] bubaloo:
is it possible to use the default cLock of cyanogenmod instead of dash clock?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
I'm not sure what feature you're looking for, but you might try Chronus from the play store. It's from the same devs as the CM cLock.
[HTC Sensation] bubaloo:
thank you, that was what I was looking for.

can I uninstall DashClock in Titanium Backup?
[HTC Sensation] LordNerevar:
You're welcome. Probably. You can also use Settings->SlimCenter->SlimSizer (after giving SlimCenter root permissions).
[HTC Sensation] bubaloo:
ok thank you mate.

I always loved your slimkat roms for sensation for its smoothness but i've tried to update to latest version and the DashClock always force close, so I will try Chronus.

keep up the good work
