I want to try this rom but in advance a short question. Maybe noobish but hey, better safe then sorry :)

i'm using cwm right now but it is neccassary to switch to ext4? Or is it just that cwm is usable but superwipe can't be used? Cause in post 1 is stated that superwipe is not compatible and ext4 is suggested...

Bit confused....

Use whatever recovery you want. Just no super wipe.

If it stays on the boot animation and not the HTC logo then it's a different story.
Provide a logcat and it should show what is causing it

all:

anyone else having issues with the touch screen not being responsive? (ie. having to press the same area multiple times in order to execute something

Yes, but I've had it with this ROM and Virtuous Inquisition, so assumed it was hardware related and not ROM related?

-EDIT- Actually, thinking about it further, it only seems to occur on my homescreen. Do you use Nova Launcher, by any chance?

searched and the only remedy i found from someone was using setcpu. so, i went ahead and activated my setcpu. seems that it helped a tad, but i'm still having issues.

thanks in advance!

Probs caused by a CPU governor not responding to CPU demand?

I've had errors were all my audio with get REALLY soft and hard to hear. Once I restart it goes back to normal. Was about 10 minutes late to work today (not a big deal) because of it.

Besides that battery has been phenomenal and most everything else too.

Ahh yeah its the weekend. That means new vorbeth rom.

I use Nova Launcher and it happens to me. I usually have to restart Nova and it works OK again. Might be a common denominator.

Hi Voberth,
Thank for great ROM. I still use your build 15apr2 Rom. Everything is ok. Battery is very good, not hot, i use as normal 1d10h and i still have 60%. Only 2 things are still not so good. Ringtone is not loud enough and touchscreen is still slow, sometime have to touch 2 or 3 time, it will process.
Anyway, good enough for me. This ROM is better than ARHD and Ordoid in my opinion about battery because i need longer battery for long trip without charging.
Have a nice weekend!

Ringtones and touchscreen are good on my end, not sure why some people are having touchscreen issues as multitouch is fixed.
AOSP will always be better than sense in my opinion

I installed open sensation this morning & I'm loving it! Seems to have less bugs than virtuous w/ I was on the last couple of months, but I have a couple of questions.

I'm new to cm9, so I'm unfamiliar w/ the performance tweaks. Under development I've checked force gpu rendering as I always do, but is there anything under performance that may be beneficial for me to change from their default settings?

Also, I've noticed it runs a tad warmer than normal. I don't think I consider it alarming, but I'm curious if this is common? I haven't changed the CPU clock speeds, and they are defaulted to the same frequency I was using on virtuous.

Lastly, scrolling seems to have a lot less "zipp" to it, if that makes sense? When I flick to scroll down, it doesn't seem to scroll as fast as I'm used to. Any way to adjust this?

What a fantastic rom though, despite the physical buttons back light I haven't had anything not work. And tbh, I think I like the back light off. I know where the keys are, lol.

If you want better battery life just lower the clock to 1.2ghz
Scrolling is better than before though I never had the issue.
Soft key backlight can be resolved by turning on auto brightness

All of these questions have been answered before, just search the thread so you don't necessarily have to wait a long time.

    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"

    I will continue until such a point that cm and my repos have exactly the same functions.
