Merry Christmas everyone. I've installed CM11 yesterday and installed those sense 6 - 7 stuff from another thread and everything is working fine.

I just have a few issues with apps. Twitch tv app no matter what stream i'm watching it cuts it to pieces stitches it randomly and makes it black and white, will wait for their next update to see if it's from them or not. Also the sense package the flip clock sends "problem loading widget", i'm a noob user, idk if logcat will give some info but it seems it's not activated, i tried soo many different things i saw in this and other forums but i just can't make it to work. Am i the only one who doesn't have logcat enabled ?
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
Already did so, no luck.

Installed 4ext recovery, but it won't boot.

So back to twrp, but still unable to access data and cache.
[HTC Sensation] andy hall:
When do you get the message, I have only seen that when flashing. The fact 4ext won't boot is a bit odd.
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
I get the message when I choose "change file system" in the "advanced wipe" menu.

Tried to format partitions with mkfs or parted via adb, but also no luck.

The output is something like this for /data

Error: /dev/block/mmcblk0p23: unrecognised disk label

or /chache

Error: /dev/block/mmcblk0p24: unrecognised disk label

though the devices are present

~ # thomas-lifebook tmp # adb shell ls /dev/block

loop5 mmcblk0p12 mmcblk0p19 mmcblk0p25 mmcblk0p31 mmcblk0p9

So I think the partitions are definately corrupted, end of life:(

But I remember there was a solution by binding /data and cache on sd card....

Edit:

I managed to recover /cache partition by formatting with cwm recovery.

Now with latest twrp r9 cache is formatable and mountable.

The only problem now is /data partition.

Using adb the following command shows overlapping partitions

~ # /sbin/parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
GNU Parted 1.8.8.1.179-aef3
Using /dev/block/mmcblk0
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.

Error: Can't have overlapping partitions.

Is there a way to correct this?

Hi, has anyone experience battery issues on this ROM? Mine is taking too long to charge ( charging become slow after reaching 70%) but when you reboot it says 100 % already. I bought a new battery and it is still the same.
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
Yeah that's sounds like normal stock charging pattern, slows down when reaching a certain voltage and the sensation doesn't have good consistent battery readings, which is hardware related. You'll notice it should drop a lot quicker from 100% because you rebooted before it completely charged, 0 - 100 charge time is roughly 3hrs max.

You could also try another 1 Amp charger and another power outlet too if you think there is a problem, you also can get an app/widget to read/display charging current etc.
[HTC Sensation] tom0769:
Is there a way to disable zram?

Seems to be enabled.

root@pyramid:/ # cat /proc/swaps
FilenameTypeSizeUsedPriority
/dev/block/zram0 partition13106857480-1

Edit:

Nevermind, found how to do it with an init.d script.

Btw. just installed delta_roh init.d script to use 200 mb of /system as swap.

For me it works great.

Significant better multitasking.

Edit 2:

Found some more hints concerning corrupt data partition. This is the message I got right after formatting /data partition with f2fs and restoring backup

E:Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.

Strange, since I never encrypted any partition.

So maybe the partition is not corrupted but not accessable due to missing decrytion key?

I searched for that and found this.

For now I have no clue how this could be fixed.

Is there a way to reset/remove the encryption, or erase/delete the crypto footer?

This could be the same problem as for other fellows have an unmountable data partition.

Screen mirroring works with TV with Miracast?

I read that with the CM ROM does not work...

I tried it with my TV with Miracast but does not work, while Sense ROM from HTC Gallery app can send images and video clips on TV, but I'm interested in screen mirroring to use Netflix with my HTC Sensation XE!!!

What version of CM ROM should I use?

Thanks!!!

[HTC Sensation] mcfouch:

For cm12.1 you must use Ivanich's twrp 2.8.7.0 r9
[HTC Sensation] sunanulh:
Thank you

Can I flash it without using pc?
[HTC Sensation] mcfouch:
If you have a working rooted ROM you can download from play store Flashify app.

Flashing a recovery with fastboot command from a Linux box is a better way.
[HTC Sensation] sunanulh:
How can I change the fs to f2fs?

I can't find the option in twr

I've just flash the twrp using flashify.

[MENTION=5217950]TurKurT656[/MENTION] hey bro , did you find any solution for wifi problem ...

i tested all related telephony common jar patched files and the old problems :(

im using ivanich cm 12.1 last build rom and this wifi problem is killing me ...

if anyone could help with a suitable patched jar file, I would be pleased :):eek:
[HTC Sensation] rasikreality:
(CM12.1) This ROM is absolutely a-w-e-s-o-m-e. Thanks a thousand times Ivanich. I have only 4 problems.

1. I have two microsd cards. One with 128 GB an other with 32 GB. With the 128 GB card and your ROM my phone freezes and reboot every time I want to use it, but with the 32 GB one all works perfect. My question is: why ?

2. I can't use you TWRP because every time I try to flash a ROM with it all goes perfect but when I power on the phone it doesn't pass the white screen with the HTC logo.

3. I've tried to make an 8 GB of data with the MOD tha's here but I can't get anything. Is it for your ROM or because I am S-ON?

4. I can't make Snapchat to work. I thnik that's for the permissive SElinux.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
1.I'm not sure if senny supports sdcard's more then 64Gb.

2.Definitely S-ON

3. Could be because of S-ON

3.Never used Snapchat, anyway if it's because of SElinux - there is a lot of work to write correct rules for selinux but I've no time for this.
[HTC Sensation] rasikreality:
Ok, clearly I need S-OFF. And, does your ROM support 64 GB sdcards? If it can, I'll buy one asap. And your CM13 supports that cards too? Because when it were stable enough to be my daily driver, I'll use it. Thanks for all! :)
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
It's a hw limitation not rom, you should google limits for this particular device
[HTC Sensation] ktxgio:
i see new cm11 build now... thanks a a lot [MENTION=4329165]ivanich[/MENTION] ! until now i thought that, with 20151208 build, cm11 development was finish-stopped
[HTC Sensation] andy hall:
Sensation is only spec'd for 32GB

I have been using CM2.1 roms as daily driver for months, excellent stable and good battery life.

I use the Rom from [MENTION=4329165]ivanich[/MENTION] Delta GAPPS and BootMod3.14 (only changing the installed application list)

Best Rom I have used to be honest

Get S-OFF is simple, rumrunner or the wire trick.
[HTC Sensation] rasikreality:
I've read comments of several people in XDA who have micro sd cards with 64 and 128 GB and all works right for them. I was hoping that at least I could buy a 64 GB one. :(

Moreover, to make S-OFF it's making very difficult to me because to do it I need ROMs stock or Ice Cream Sandwich/Gingerbread based and I never can install any other than CM because the phone doesn't boot after flashing. :crying:

And what is BootMod3.14?
[HTC Sensation] andy hall:
Ok, without sounding rude, I think you need to take a look at the very beginning of this thread and multiple others, there is a thread focusing on firmware versions and also Recovery versions.

The way I got here was as follows.

Unlock boot loader

flash 4ext recovery

flash first rom 4.0.3

Upgrade firmware to highest level available (3.33 international),

Flash 4.1.2 rom

use rumrunner to get s-off

then start messing around with higher versions of android.

you will have issues with a lot of roms if still s-on as you will need to flash the boot.img seperately.

if it is any consolation I have been playing with HTC's for some time and now have been looking at samsung so am in the same boat as you.

This is the same ril as we used in cm-11, so I doubt that libril lib caused this.

I have one problem with this ROM: I can't make calls or receive it. When I try to call someone, a strange noise beigns to hear and then the call stops.

[HTC Sensation] moddx:
Hey there,

I have huge battery issues after switching to the newest build, uploaded at the 18th January 2016 (used the build from 11th October 2015 before).

I am using TWRP-2.8.7.0-pyramid-f2fs-r4 and did a clean install.

(just noticed that I wasn't running r9, as I believed)

As you can see in the attached pictures qmuxd causes a lot of cpu load. This happens irregularly, but sooner or later it happens. Shortly after the battery is completly drained, because the phone can't enter sleep mode. Sometimes the actual load on the cpu is not that high, but persistently stays above the threshold to keep the cores running at their highest clock speed (with governors ondemand and conservative as well).

As mentioned above I am not using the latest TWRP, so I will just try things out with TWRP 3.0.0 r1, but I guess that won't change much.

Any suggestions or comments on similar problems are appreciated.

PS: The phone also tends to simply crash and boot up again on its own lately.
[HTC Sensation] ktxgio:
in cm11 (last build) i see that every time i switch on the phone, during android loading, appears a string

when you say no radio, which one or all.

I have had no problems with CM12.1
[HTC Sensation] ibrahman2002:

[HTC Sensation] andy hall:
I have not seen FM radio included in any from for ages. Specially since KK
[HTC Sensation] Harakhti:
I believe FM support was dropped on Snapdragon S2 devices since CM10.1. If it happens to work on anything above 4.1.2, you're lucky.
[HTC Sensation] moddx:
The battery drain bug I described in this post still occurs on a clean flash of the CM12.1 build from 18th January with TWRP 3 r1.

Having no other apps installled the battery drain started after a few hours of the phone idling with wifi turned on. Without wifi nothing happend for 12 hours or so (then I turned on wifi).

Again the process qmuxd went on rampage.

Apart from that I tried to build the rom myself lately, but got quite a few compile errors. Before digging deeper into them I wanted to make sure that my local_manifest is not completly messed up. If someone could take a look on that, I would be grateful.

Hi [MENTION=4329165]ivanich[/MENTION], could you look at this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65196628&postcount=1909 and following ones.

I'm using your twrp 2.8.7 r9 and your cm12.1 and getting an issue when I install recent opengapps with a gapps-config file. in include/exclude mode.

MastahF is thinking there is a buggy sed implementation in this version. It does not accept word boundaries regex syntax on include/exclude words.

Code is here : https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/blob/master/scripts/inc.updatebinary.sh#L459

We have tried different patterns without success.

Thanks for your help.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Try 3.0.0 twrp, anyway I think the problem is because cm13 and twrp switched to toybox instead of busybox and sed implementation can be different.

BTW, a 2 days ago I flashed open_gapps-arm-6.0-micro-20160208.zip, my .gapps-config content

Exclude GoogleNow
Exclude SwypeLibs

and looks like it worked because I have no GoogleLauncher and stupid swype lib included.
[HTC Sensation] mcfouch:
Thanks Ivanich, sed in twrp 3.0.0 r1 accept word boundary well.

So I'm gonna have to switch on 2.8.7 to manage my sd-ext partition and on 3.0.0 to flash opengapps, all with an half dead usb port ! hot hot hot.

Cm12.1 give me a very good experience. I will try cm13 during my next holidays but I don't how I will be able to access my sdcard storage from pc if I choose to use sdcard as internal storage...
[HTC Sensation] ibrahman2002:
please what is the cause of the battery drainage [MENTION=4329165]ivanich[/MENTION]
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
That could be a lot of things. Without context there is nothing to determine. Try to determine what's draining your battery with apps like BetterBatteryStats. Also, don't forget the Sennie is kinda old and so is it's battery (unless you replaced it of course).
[HTC Sensation] moddx:
Well as I stated in earlier posts already, in my case it is the qmuxd process (something to do with the telephone part apparently), that keeps the phone from going to lower cpu states.

It happens randomly a few hours after turning on the device.

See also: #3197 and #3190.

In my case the battery is a ~3 months old 1900mAh Anker, which works completely fine.

dude have you tried cm 13 from ivanich ? if yes does it have battery drain problems too ? :confused: I was thinking of installing the cm 12 for my sensation but some people talks about that battery drain problems...I'm confused :)
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Usually peoples who talks about battery drain never looked what causing this drain, but in most cases it's all about google services or trashy social network apps. I'm using Nexus4 as my primary phone with cm13 and sometimes battery drains in a 3-4 hours just because google services decides to wake up device 7000 times or any other app, also this could happen because of poor wifi coverage as I have in my office and so on. Anyway in most cases this is not caused by rom itself but because of ****ty thirdparty software.

I have to tell you: this was my first time messing up with a phone. You know, bootloader and everything. I really messed the things up just to install this version... and I used it because I couldn't find any version 13.... I mean, where is it?

edit: I found the page, but I'll wait until it becomes stable. I barely know what I'm doing when I flash it, I don't want to risk even more than that for now.

I'm using GSam Battery monitor. I can't use the version with root access to get details on the wakelock but until now, it says that:

I used 57% of battery in 6.5 h of use

53% of the energy used by the screen

13.2% by a game that I installed to test

12.5% of the energy used by the system app

6.7% by the kernel

2.7% google play store since I installed many of the apps that I had before resetting and changing OS (so it's a tantum)

eveything else is less than 1.2%

These values seems ok to me, but the battery never drained so fast...

also, the program says that the screen is responsible for 5% of the energy drain while shut off.....wtf? (brightness is 60%, while everything else is at default value)

this one is a screenshot to compare with the one you provided, tho the values from Gsam are different:
