Step by step

Hi! I want to install CM12, i have already CM11. How to install it and which gapps should I download?
[HTC Sensation] Harakhti:
TWRP, preferrably a factory reset, then install the ROM. You'll need a 5.1 gapps, i.e. Slim Gapps, type and such depends on your choice. Optionally flash mods afterwards.
[HTC Sensation] demanzke:
I've gotten it like 3-4 times in the last month, just go to settings and manually reconnect to your network. You might have to search for networks twice.

USB file transfer not working

Hi,

I did a clean install from CM10.1 to this ROM. I have used

1. cm-12.1-20150521-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid

2. pa_gapps-modular-mini-5.1-20150315-signed and

3. TWRP-2.8.6.0-pyramid-f2fs-r7

There wasnt any errors, booted up and most of the commonly used apps are working fine. When I connected over USB I am unable to use USB debugging or USB file transfer.

Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] Harakhti:
Debugging doesn't work at all for Windows 8 and above due to the USB enumerator (driver stack) being specified to deny all devices without specific functions that no Samsung or HTC devices have that were released before 2013. File transfer uses MTP, so you might still need the drivers for that.

[HTC Sensation] neomorph11:
Thanks for the reply. I am using Windows 7 and I have installed universal ADB drivers from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

I was able to do adb and file copying from USB to harddisk for backup. After installing the ROM from this thread when I connect via USB I am unable to see file transfer option and adb isnt working.

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

Ok, Now I am able to see the SD card in my computer for file transfer. All I did was removing some of the apps since there was a notification all the time "Storage space running out". I still have that notification

When I checked Settings->Storage Use->Running

System 242MB, Apps 210MB, Free 155MB. (+/-)

How much free space do I need for the notification to go away and update my apps?

System UI has stopped CM12.1

Hi everyone,

having issue with last 3 updates for CM12.1 with message "System UI has stopped", does anyone has a clue what can be the issue?

There was no difference if it was fresh or dirty installation, still getting same message once the system/applications is updated.

I've tried to format the whole device, remove the sd card, but still the same.

Unfortunately I was not able to get the system log through adb as the device was unauthorized and waiting for confirmation on device, but I didn't get the screen.

Thanks for any update.
[HTC Sensation] little_lerroyy:
You need to update your boot.img seems like it isn't flashing, what recovery are you using? I had the same issue with my OC kernel. Which reminds me forgot to upload the fix! Haha.
[HTC Sensation] kluvosk:
I'm not sure if this was for me, but in case yes, I have switched to TWRP recovery from 4ext which I was using until now and I was happy with it.

I used as well this kernel (boot.img) found on this thread "[KERNEL 3.4][CM12] Ivanichs CM12 Kernel OVERCLOCKED By Little Lerroyy [23/4/15]" but I still get the same "System UI has stopped". I have used all the kernels which I found there....same sh*t for all of them.

So I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly :) but weired thing is that last working update for me was from 05/05/2015.

If there is any other idea....I will be thankful :)

btw, I changed the partition types for cache and data to f2fs as well...

Maybe one thing, my phone is still S-ON, could this be the issue ?

update: I restored back from my working backup and tried to update at least the kernel, but what ever I choose from the package, when I check once the phone is booted, it says the same:

3.4.107-ga90aa75

ivanich@ivanich.org.ua #1

Tue May 5 12:08:16 EEST 2015

so I'm wandering what I'm doing wrong, it says formatting boot, successfully, then extracting boot.img, deleteng temporary boot.img and that it's safe to reboot the device.....I do it and the kernel version is the same...
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Why are you people still have S-ON on your 4 years old phones? It's stupid,spend 10 mins for S-OFF procedure and stop complain about bootloops, flash errors and other crap.
[HTC Sensation] Khizar Ali:
battery drainage , it consume more battery than stock rom :(

10% battery loss in 15-20 mins . I dont know whether it is battery issue or rom issue?
[HTC Sensation] karbonariusz:

Sorry for this question (may it is stupid), but i don't know how to install twrp. Any instructions for me...?
[HTC Sensation] devrruti:
Download it from the first post, use that version.

Then install an app called rashr from play store and install the twrp you just downloaded with it, select it manually from the microsd, otherwise the app will download another version automatically that kills kittens

Ram and swap management is fantastic.
[HTC Sensation] little_lerroyy:
That's the kernel I made, I did say I forgot to update the boot.img. cause you are using TWRP I'm 100% certain your boot.img is old. Flash it via fastboot. HTC Dumlock wont work unless you reflash a working ROM. Or go S-OFF.
[HTC Sensation] kluvosk:
Finally I made it to work yesterday, I failed to use any instructions found on xda-developers forums to make my phone S-OFF, what ivanich was complaining that it's 10 minuts thing....well, from my experience not once you don't have the stock ROM on your phone anymore...as the controlbear requires to have the stock ROM on the device.

what I was able to flash to my device were only custom ROMs, I tried to put there CM9 as well, which was working fine, but it was not able to apply the change as I got this error "ControlBear says "secondary backup failed.", according to unlimited.io jbtroubleshooting page I use a custom ROM and it will not work.

I found a stock ROM which was fitting to my firmware (Ice Cream Sandwich build 3.33.401.153 for HTC Sensation XE), but it didn't flashed nor through TWRP and nor throuh RUU, Odexed, De-Odexed....none of them worked.

So in final I just flashed a ROM from 23th May and flashed boot.img with fastboot and it finally worked.

But if there is any good instructions how to S-OFF the phone in current state, I will definitelly try it.

[HTC Sensation] andy hall:
look up rumrunner seems to work on loads of roms above 4.0 and no wires required.

[HTC Sensation] Harakhti:
Factual, installing the latest 4EXT recovery and ViperS C2 5.3.0 from it, then running Rumrunner 0.5.0 on Windows 7 works fine. That's how I did it. If you're still HTCdev locked, unlock that first.
[HTC Sensation] ssonik:
Australia here too, and I had the same issue with network search, and not connecting to the mobile network at all. Other ROMs pre-lollipop worked without a hitch. Turned out, the SIM itself was incompatible. Go into your carrier's retail store and tell them you need a new SIM - it's free, and has a good chance at solving your problems.
[HTC Sensation] kluvosk:
Guys thank you very much, the Rumrunner was the win, I had to install the ViperS ROM to make it work, but finally is my phone S-OFF :)

Now I'm back on CM12.1 and didn't needed to flash the boot.img manually to make it work.

Thanks again.

[HTC Sensation] andy hall:
do you get same on 20150523?
[HTC Sensation] devrruti:
Always make a backup the recovery, so you can go back. Or backup your applications with something like titanium backup or similar

If every option you try fails, save all you have on your phone to a computer, then make a complete wipe in recovery of all partitions, format or partition the microsd too in case it is corrupted, then put the ROM zip and gapps in your microsd and make a new install. Everything should work

[HTC Sensation] LeHoang2206:
i don't know i flash ROM , CM12-20150529 , "SystemUI Stop " ? how to fix ?
[HTC Sensation] hinxnz:
You have a massive wakelock according to your battery stat, install Better Battery Stats to see what is causing it.

It could be related to xposed but why are you using it for only taking screenshots in APM, ROM already has this feature (settings-buttons-power menu) and you can also take screenshots by holding down power and volume down buttons at the same time for a few seconds.

Not sure about sim pin though, I don't use it but apparently was mention before that it needs to be fixed in CM, have you tried leaving phone to boot completely then entering sim pin because I think radio maybe toggled when booting.

Check your rom.zip on your sdcard matches with this md5 checksum - f0f26fedd48f7f4529ce269955fa8c7d

Then wipe dalvik-cache and flash rom again, if still having issues wipe all partitions except sdcard and try again.

I'm running 29/05 and no fc of system ui here.
[HTC Sensation] little_lerroyy:
As mentioned before, if you are using TWRP, you need to flash boot.img manually. This is the issue.
[HTC Sensation] ChimeyJimmey:
What?!

Why?

This is mandatory only for S-ON, IMHO...
[HTC Sensation] andy hall:
If you ate S-OFF try formatting all partitions before install.

Do you have the same problem if you flash the ROM on its own.

I have only had boot loop on one build and this was down to a bad zip download.
[HTC Sensation] Jeanz Sensation:
Can anyone tell me how do I turn on silent mode on the latest build? Previously I could just slide the volume control back until it reaches silent mode but this new build goes into vibration mode but cant go into silent mode.

Hi!

First of all: Thanks @ivanich !

I know this has been brought up a couple of times in this thread but as far as I've seen, it hastn't been answered...

At first boot everything worked fine but after the first reboot I had the notification "process "com.android.phone" has stopped". It pops up repeatedly (like every minute) and it stops recognizing the SIM-card. As soon as the phone has connected again, the notification pops up again. What can I do?

I flashed cm-12.1-20150531-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid, then boot-mod-plus v1.2 by @hinxnz and after that mini-GApps. I used 4ext Recovery Touch (v1.0.0.6 RC3 testing. build 8) and everything went OK, I didn't have troubles.

Firmware is 3.33., I am S-Off, have root access, HBOOT is 1.27.1100 and my carrier is "MedionMobile/eplus" (Germany).

EDIT: clearing the cache of the phone app is not possible (0 kB), but clearing the data of the phone app doesn't help.

Not sure what's wrong there, the glitch you are describing happens when you use an improper recovery, which is what makes it odd.

Battery

Hello everyone,

I've recently started trying out the new cm 12 and it looks fantastic. However, battery drainage is ridiculous. I've seen a lot of mixed feedbacks when I searched the thread. However nothing has really been said to correct the issue but with trite remarks.

For those that has been getting good battery life, can you tell me the steps that was taken to achieve the effect?

I basically work from 7am - 9pm everyday and I need it to last that long. Ever since I switched over from ViperS, the most I have gotten with cyanogen mod is 5 hours and that is with me not using it. The constant draining when the phone is not in use is driving me nuts.

My setup at the moment is the ROM with BOOT-MOD-PLUS v1.2. I don't have any apps installed.

CPU

: SMARTMAX

Governor

: ROW

Sorry for this long post. But if you currently have a setup that last for at least 14 hours with minimal, and I mean very minimal usage, please lend a brother a hand. I am desperate to try anything.
[HTC Sensation] ChimeyJimmey:
Two things to report:

Sound level on the latest cm-12.1-20150605 build is unacceptably low. At least to me, after performing a dirty update from cm-12.1-20150531 build.

Yes, cache/dalvik partitions were wiped. As always.

With the last two builds of the TWRP recovery (TWRP-2.8.6.0-pyramid-f2fs-r8 and TWRP-2.8.6.0-pyramid-f2fs-r9) restore cannot be accomplished: System is mounted as read only!

The TWRP-2.8.6.0-pyramid-f2fs-r7 works fine.

Cheers!

Battery is normal for me, well decent for a roughly 3 year old anker battery.

I get roughly 2-3hrs screen on time over a day. If I don't use it, which is very seldom, a few days.

I don't think the rom is at fault, possibly your battery or a persistent wake lock because you are experiencing drain while not in use.

A persistent wakelock can happen for many reasons and sometimes nothing to do with your device. For instance, such as a router, which can cause the wlan_rx_wake wakelock to drain battery while screen off by constantly sending it packets.

You could use Better Battery Stats to identify a persistent wakelock.

You could also use Battery Monitor Widget to monitor the current. The app says, combined with System Tuner Pro, you can analyze which process is responsible for battery drain.
