Discontinued[ROM][JAN.22]HyperSensation v1.8 |base 2.3.7 - Small, fast (only 54Mb!)

[kristofpetho]

23rd March 2012 - Message from the developer here


I believe that our Sensation can do a lot more / be a lot faster / and therefore we can be more productive than with the Sense ROMs.
I also like to customize my own apps in a given ROM, so any simple/minimalistic ROM is a plus for me.

I therefore present to all who like this approach my very own HyperSensation ROM release.

HyperSensation is now also on Facebook! HERE

Screenshots (HyperSensation):

- Download links, changelog and addons and extras in post #2
- Extras and other links (ie. kernel, addons, etc) in post#3
- FAQ and themes in post #4

What you get:
- Simple, minimalistic ROM to be a good base for your everyday needs (those who like every app to be in there "out-of-the-box" should steer clear)
- Speed tweaks to make the base to make it even faster and more responsive
- Tweaks to make battery life even better
- Tweaks to included apps (camera, mail, etc) to make the experince even more whole
- Lossless JPEG compression for photos taken
- GApps included so you do not have to install afterwards (Maps removed, but you can install Maps through the Market, and Talk from post #3)
- Smooth scrolling in all apps (disabled scrolling cache globally trhoughout the ROM)
- Always updated base to keep your flashing appetite full

All other addons/tweaks are exactly the same in the two branches, its just a matter of personal taste

ROM Releases

1. When you are finished setting up the device, do a normal reboot and then you will have normal operations!
2. I have deleted a number of apps so that the ROM can be as lean and minimalistic as possible. If you find you need any apps that I have deleted, go to post #3 (Addons and Extras) and you will most likely find the app you need there!

FAQ

Q: I get "Your device is not supported" in Market, even if I have LCD Density set to 240.

Background:

If your LCD density is NOT 240 (which is stock), then when you try to get an app from the Market, it will say "Your device is not supported".
The bummer is that the Market App remembers this, even if you flash the 240 stock LCD density patch.

A:

1. Flash the 240 LCD Density patch
2. Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All
3. Select Market
4. Select "Clear Data" under Market

You can now download the apps...

Q: I get FC's on writing any text, using the "M" version.
A: Disable predictive text in Language & Keyboard settings, because to save ~10Mb space I have deleted all dictionaries from the ROM.

Q: How can I have predictive text in the Minimalistic version?
A: It was deleted to make the ROM as lean as possible. You can download the original LatinIME.apk needed in the Addons section in post #3. Adb push the extracted file to /system/app and reboot.

Q: Issues with vibration not working? answer is provided thanks to SlwDrvr!
A: Ok so for those that are having vibration problems like I am. Here's the fix. Settings > Profiles > Make your own profile or you can change up the default > scroll down to the bottom "Application Groups" > select the ones you want to change or have vibration for > so for example SMS you will see Vibrate Mode on the bottom, second to last, select it and choose ON. do the rest for the other application groups and vibrate will work. for sure.

Q: How can I optimize battery life?
A: Do at least 2 full charge cycles to really measure battery life: flash the ROM, charge to full, let it drop below 15%, charge to full, let it drop below 15%, charge to full, and then evaluate.

Q: What dialer should you use?
A: If you do not like the default dialer and miss the T9 dialer from Sense, the 2 best dialers are (both free on the market) Dialer One and TouchPal Dialer. I prefer Dialer One as that blends in just nicely with my black theme I am using.

Can I have that as a splash screen instead of the white-green HTC logo?

Yes! Septix was kind enough to also create a splash screen for the ROM:

Extract the attached zip, and flash the nb file via fastboot!

Tips

For excellent battery life:

With the latest faux kernel!!!

Set the following in CyanogenMod Settings:
- Max clock 1.08 ghz
- Min clock 192 mhz
- Governor intellidemand

Which kernel should you use?

Try either:
- faux's kernel or the
- bricked kernel or the
- tiamat kernel
- or use the stock CM7 kernel included in the ROM

I personally use the faux kernel, but it is all personal preference, so I suggest to try all three of them to see which one feels best for your needs.

Which radio should you use?

I always use the latest available stable radio found HERE, as CyanogenMod was tested with it.

Nice work! I like ADW launcher instead of aosp one. Top widget does not work (google search bar?) Seems to be not installed.
