Can someone explain me the difference between this rom and Virtous Inquisition?

And, is this rom stable enough for a daily use?

This ROM is 100% AOSP, no traces of Sense.

VI is a desensed ROM, meaning most of the the Sense elements have been removed. There are still some Sense bits hidden in the menus for example.

OpenSensation is still being worked on while VI is pretty much final build.

And yes, its very stable.

Ok, so, what i have to download? The OpenSensation Build and Tamcore?
What is Tamcore? How to install it?

For a start I suggest you download the RC1 build of Open Sensation and also the Gapps package.,

Use your recovery to format all except sdcard and then flash the ROM and then the Gapps package.

From there you can restore (reinstall) your downloaded play store apps.

Enjoy! :)

I've installed the nightly, because at the OpenSensation build it was written "Not tested" lol..
However i've got no crashes since now... I also downloaded the GApps package from UpdateMe and i've installed it, next i added my google account.. Are there any way to automatically reinstall all my apps?

Gonna be spending a few days setting up new laptop.
Could not get OSx86 booting on it (Will try again another time).

Then I can look at fixing my Sensation, not getting any sound out of it at all :S

You need to flash gapps in recovery after a full wipe for it to re-install apps.

Car Dock not working

Hi - I am running the latest OS RC1 with Tamcore's kernel. When on the stock 2.3 the Car Dock/Home (whatever it is called) would automatically launch when put in the car cradle, no issues.

Now, it is intermittant at best - it's actually been getting worse, to the point now it wont launch at all (although I did, very briefly, see the steering wheel in the notify bar this morning, but it disappeared almost immediately, and didn't launch).

Is this likely to be a software issue, or a hardware issue with the phone or cradle itself (I assume there's some kind of magnet in the cradle).

My Droid 1 had that mode activated by a magnet in the cradle. Since your issue is slowly getting worse, it very much sounds like a hardware issue.

I will look into this, but as I don't have a dock it's hard to say

EDIT: If your talking about the app CarHome.apk. It's not in Cm9 either gapps or main build
Not sure why it's removed

I've been wondering that. You are correct, there is no actual CarHome app that I can see.
I use Car Dock Home v3, and previously it would auto-launch when docked with my Kidigi cradle, with the little steering wheel also appearing.
Very strange.

I think you can download Car Dock Home from the market. It should be the same
It might be a reason why it was removed since it's in the market

Just saying

    This thread is about OpenSensation and not about my kernel!!

    Disclaimer
    Your warranty is now void.

    I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
    Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
    Known Bugs / Fixes
    • MHL doesn't works as expected
    • Bluetooth may not work perfectly on every device
    • Not compatible with SuperWipe.zip
      • Use 4EXT's full-wipe function
    • Your bug is not listed here?
    Difference between OpenSensation and CyanogenMod
    • we have 1080p, they don’t
    • we have OTA Updates, they don’t
    • we have PDroid patches included, they don’t
    • we have removed RomManger and Terminal Emulator (bloatware, still available in Play Store)
    USB-OTG
    The USB-OTG stuff is a little bit tricky. It looks like some Sensations have a self powered USB Host port which allows them to use an USB-Stick without external power. But most Sensation don’t have it.
    You need
    • USB-OTG y-cable (like this)
      • (or a normal USB-OTG cable if your attached device has it’s own power supply)
    • in case you’re using an USB-OTG y-cable you need an external power supply
      • I recommend you a mobile battery with a female USB-Port
    This ROM will mount the first partition of your attached device (fat32 & ntfs only!) to /mnt/usbdisk. If you wan’t to use more partitions/devices I recommend you to use Chainfire’s StickMount App
    Requirements
    • HTC Sensation (XE and 4G sould work, too)
    • custom Recovery (I recommend 4EXT)
    • 3.32 or 3.33 Firmware (ROM is tested with 3.32 firmware, so use 3.33 at your own risk!)
    • S-OFF (ROM should work without S-OFF, but you might need 4EXT’s SmartFlash to properly flash the boot.img)
    • SDCard
    Download
    FAQ
    • Can we have XYZ from Sense?
      • NO!
    • “Is there a way to have FM Radio?”
      • No, there is no way to build it from source. Try Spirit FM.
    Thanks & Credits
    • Vorbeth, intervigilium, elelinux and cretin45 (for bringing CM9 to the Sensation)
    • intervigilium, faux123 and showp1984 (for the kernel)

    Small update for you all.
    I'm going to be stopping working on OS. Waiting 190 minutes for each compile just to test a small fix is getting too much.

    I thank all those that previously donated, I was able to get a used q6600 PC, however that didn't last and the CPU fried. (Probably why I got it cheap was that is was on it's way out)

    I've asked TamCore if he will take over on OpenSensation.

    I have enjoyed the time I spent in doing this, however with work I don't have time to work on this during a week now, as the last few updates have shown working on it during the week, staying up while it compiles results in a few bug's.

    The repo's as they are now do suffer from audio routing and I will try to re-port the routing fix over the next few day's, but that will be my last contribution.

    What's the current status of LPA?

    Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA

    In a few hours after I compile, it will be enabled & audio routing band-aided

    leaving just bluetooth, mhl, full HW acceleration & a few wakelock issues to be fixed.

    Hell, I started out on this laptop, so may as well finish on it.
    i'll stick around continuing to work on this for a while yet.

    Guess I just got that pissed off waiting one night I thought "f**k it"
    31
    I will continue until such a point that cm and my repos have exactly the same functions.
