Kernal/Rom/Mod conflict - Thunderbolt General

Under 10 posts so I can't post under dev...
I installed Virus' 3.1 rom and Ziggy's 4-6 kernel, but if I install the blue power widgets mod my phone crashes.
On first boot, the setup wizard fires up, and on the last step, it FC's. The phone locks up, and I have to pull the battery. Then, it won't boot past the Android screen. Any combo of these three items creates the same problem for me... I have tried numerous times. I can get 3.1rom + 4-6kernel working though... any thoughts?

I helped myself, thank you for all the responses
Lesson: Don't trust ROM Manager to install ****... do it yourself with CWR and wipe dalvik after everything...
Anyway, successfully running Virus's 3.1 with the blue theme/power widgets, Ziggy's 4-6 kernel, and Imoseyon's kernel tweaks. SS's to follow of quadrant.

Tons of tests later, I get interesting results... there is ZERO consistency from one quadrant to another. Now I see why its considered a joke benchmark...
@2Ghz... - First runs after a reboot were pretty much ALWAYS ~2k. After that, I averaged many many 2.5k scores. I got a few 2.6k and a couple 2.7k. My best:
Was going to be a picture, instead I can only tell you 2946.
(This new user crap is SO effin annoying... I can't even post links...)

...and I am posting again to up my count... gay huh?

I know how you feel. The general section gets over looked. Your stuck reading stuff that doesn't help.

This is the reason you are not allowed to post in the dev forum. You figured it out yourself! Good job...
Quad scores really don't mean ****..I can get you a script that will give you a 20k+ score, is your phone gonna be any faster? Nope not at all, will anyone be impressed? Nope.. No need to post pictures or links to you benchmark.. We all have the same phone and we all knwo its fast
Good day sir.

Agreed orion. I just shared to up my post count lol... While I did figure it out on my own, had I been able to post there, I would have gladly taken the flame to save me the 4 hours of trying it over and over again and having to pop the battery and recover etc...
In my defense, whodathunk you would need to CWR install a blue widget mod... I mean I had been doing it for the kernel and rom... but the mod? sheesh...

Oh and if I was allowed to post there, I could request that the flashlight option in the Virus 3.1 power widget gets buffed... the HTC one uses both bulbs and 3 settings... the one provided only uses 1 bulb and only on/off settings... alas I can't.

(TEST ROM) damage control with JIT

ok here is an alpha. lots of people want to see how JIT improves things... not too much. this is only for enjoyment right now just to experience JIT on 2.1
NANDROID BACKUP.
then after you wipe flash this rom
you will get an FC just continue on. then you cant sign into google and i am aware of this. just skip it all. then sense will load
do not use the screen for navigation. it will FC. just push the button on the bottom left of the expresso bar and use the trackball to go to settings/applications/manage applications. now you use the touch screen and go to HTCsense and click it. clear defaults, press home and choose nexus launcher. tada now experience JIT and all its kinda goodness lol. i do not think market works but if enough people want jit, i will make a JIT enabled rom with no sense for damages new release.
enjoy
http://www.4shared.com/file/248913328/7bc74b74/DCJITALPHA.html
this is in no way, shape, or form an everyday rom. as i stated above it is only for people who are curious as to what JIT is and can do.

thats how it goes with the hero lol. and also i noticed from watching your thread that people got up to activating and JIT and they used the first method with sh sync and i hate that way. chmod 644 is alot easier.
so you chmod 644 the lib that enables JIT?
I went from 2.3 MFLOPS to 3.5 MFLOPS, but broke slide to unlock.

HTC apps(as in lockscreen and Sense) don't seem to work well at all with JIT. not surprised, though.
the current release of JIT floating around is incomplete, thats the problem.
Ah, I thought it was just sense. Nexus launcher worked fine.
good to hear no one flaming me lol
yeh hopefully when we get dalvik turbo which is made by totally different people as JIT then we will have that 200% increase and the amazing sense speed they got.
we'll see, I think the JIT will be pretty dang fast when it's completed, and we're not stuck with just a development snapshot.

well i know there is a complete torrent out there but i cant remember for anything the website i saw it on. its the same dalvik turbo in the video that showed 200% speed gains. but when i search torrents for it i just get turbo trojans

Nah, fell into permalock.20 minutes later pulled the battery.
Been running JIT on dc v1 for a few days now, but using gde homescreen (I like having my extra screens and soft keys). Works great.. minimal to no improvement in the games really, but a huge improvement in the speed of using live wallpapers. Went from not being able to use the fireworks and slide (cube style) from one screen to the next, for example, to being able to no problems now. HUGE difference on live wallpapers. A glitch here and there, a hang up on boot once or twice, but a restart and all was ok. ALMOST able to use as a daily rom with JIT, close enough I do anyways.
edit: didn't mention, but I used the instructions from another thread to just copy over the libdvm.so file to enable JIT, worked fine.
bumpage
Please pardon the ignorance, but google has still left me with a huge ??? on my forehead.
What exactly is JIT? I consider myself an above average user, I just have new acronyms that I don't understand

Quick live wallpapers+sticking?

First off am I the only one that wishes the original opengl would stick? Performance was alot better for that one (especially for the nexus wallpaper). Is getting the performance of the original live wallpaper we had and the sticking of the new patch possible? Right now that is the only problem stopping my phone from being the sex.
EDIT: Problem seems to happen when another widget is updated. Its not perfectly smooth, but not bad, but when a widget updates it really slows down the wallpaper to a noticeable halt. I doubt im the first to notice this, but for anyone else that really wants nexus wallpaper, having less widgets on your main page seems to help.
I moved the news+weather widget you see below to another page and it seems to jitter less.
I agree. Losing the performance from the new OpenGL isn't worth having LWP's. They might have a fix for this when Toast's Awesome Sauce ROM is complete.

Ive wanted them ever since i saw them and i think its pretty awesome
that we can run them @ all on a phone that has half the horsepower
as their intended to run on. be happy you have the option. If you like
them i dont really exp all this slowdown everyone is crying about now
that they work, and its not like a bounty hunting sprint dealer is going to
hunt you down and put them in your phone.........so the choice is yours
but no sense in being anything other than greatful for what we have atm
unless you have something to help us improve the issue as it stands.
Maybe you could try to solve the issue for us rather than wasting your time
posting about waiting for the devs who do for free to come up with the
next great fix.Good Luck with your waiting.....Ill be busy asking questions
and doing research to find answers and fixes to my issues. And Yes if i wasnt
happy with them so far thats what id be doing but i got my victory about
1 week ago when i stumbled across someone in another forum with the
patch for them to stick on another phone. My goal was getting them to
stick....and im very happy with what i have now. With that ability we
can now have FULL FUNCTION roms, which we couldnt do before.

Yeah I disagree with "there is no point in having them if it is slower".......the patch works pretty dam well with most wallpapers its just the peski nexus being alittle to slow to be usable for me. MagnusRagnarok my OP was not an attack on you at all. I am extremely thankful for what you have done, and hope you have not taken my post that way. I am just trying to see if more people feel the same way as me. For me getting the nexus one wallpaper running alittle bit better would get me closer to completing my phone.
Ill bump since I edited my first post. Hopefully someone finds it helpful.

Hey guys, I know a lot of us have been dying to get the nexus wallpaper working without having to do the opengl fix to make wallpapers stick, seeing as it made the wallpaper ran really choppy. I found a way to get it to stick, run smooth, and not have to change the opengl. I used the update zip posted by emerica6541 and it stuck right on and have ran smooth ever since. Granted he did modify the wallpaper so the lights are smaller, but I think it looks better that way on our heroes due to the smaller screen. It has survived multiple reboots, and over 30 mins of sleep time. I am running darch's legend rom though, so I'm not sure if this will work for damage's or flipz's roms, but its worth a shot.

Thank you very much for the post. I have tried flashing that before and it did not seem to work (this is on a fresh build). Ill try again, if not maybe a kind soul could look at it and see how to port onto fresh/damage build.
This is the point of the thread, not to shoot down other's hard work but to improve on it....I think thats what xda is about.

Just a note though, when you first set the wallpaper, your phone will freeze for a min, then it'll take you to the bootscreen. Once it reloads, you should be good to go.

I had it on my sd. Sadly it does not seem to make any difference. It is smooth enough (alittle bit jittery but not too bad) but once a widget updates it stops just like the other version of nexus wallpaper.

Hmm, that's odd. Are you running the new opengl fix to get the other wallpapers to stick? Because I am still running the old opengl that came standard on darch's Rom.

Oh no, i am running the new openGL. I will try the old one thanks! Should have read your original post better.
One thing that is weird is that the LWP stick with the old openGL if its plugged into the computer. Does the phone not sleep if its plugged into a computer?

Well your right, so I used the old openGL and performance was alot better, BUT it did not stick. Is it possible your phone is not sleeping?

[ROM]Damaged_BURST.v3.FINAL

hello everyone. heres another one of those crazy things i do here. this time i built on damage so i could use dconfig again. I had the idea to put this together when i saw koni's transparent mod,then the aosp zip and burst's theme. This is mish mash of all of that work+ some of what i do. since its built on damage and the biggest add on to theme was burst's theme. But while i was ripping them apart i realized that the aosp theme was basically using the same framework as burst with a few tweaks. Then got it to boot. I did have some serious issues with the kbs and the notifier but i learned what i was doing and fixed it then decided to post...Didnt take as long to finish this(about a day), because i didnt do ALL the themeing. I just found it and mixed it all together with some of my own tweaks added in both visually and performance wise.
HERES WHY YOU SHOULD FLASH:
1 CUSTOM BOOT
1 CUSTOM HTC KB (THEMED GREEN)
1 LATIN_IME MT KB FROM DROID_X
1 HTC_IME MOD
4 INTERACTIVE LWP FROM...(sorry i forget what device)
1 INVISABLE taskbar by KONIKUB
1 THEMED HTC clock widget(by me)
1 THEMED rosie(by me)
INCLUDED APPS
adw. its my fave and most stable imo
andro for file browsing and app backup
dconfig for tweaking(thank treve)
updater for new roms and themes ota
sys tray (to monitor ram)
battery widget (to monitor battery%)
titanium backup
left the sprint apps for once....
sorry all, i forgot to toss the nextel tikl in(ill toss up an update.zip with it)
i didnt throw in all the extra crap this time so this rom is a normal size(170mb)
screens
NOTE: THIS THREAD IS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND FEEDBACK ON THIS ROM TO HELP MAKE IT BETTER. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST MAKE SURE YOU FLASH IT FIRST. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT BY ME TO KEEP THE THREAD ON TOPIC AND USEFUL TO THOSE THAT CHOOSE TO USE THIS MOD. IF YOU DIDNT FLASH IT WHAT KIND OF HELP COULD YOU POSSIBLY OFFER IN THE WAY OF IMPROVEMENT? PLEASE FLASH BEFORE POSTING!!!!!THANK YOU.....

Holy moly!!!
hey awesome rom. I was wondering if you could put all the wallpapers you use in a .zip file? That would be awesome for us to download. THanks for the hard work!
Does the 3VO appear over the phone like in the screenshots? If it doesn't, I'm all over this.

That's unfortunate. I love the look of the ROM otherwise.
Sorry to be the debbie downer but I think it looks garbage. :/ A bunch of poorly done photoshop filters slapped into a single rom. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
i must say this looks better than the previous RED theme.
so do I flash this by itself? or do I flash it over DamageControl's ROM??
Damn..this is nice and fast. The customizations is great. Nice job!
Do you know where I can get the HTC News Widget? I don't see it in here.
Thanks
i flashed this and the screen does not look like those pictures on post one. the taskbar is white with white fonts so the time is invisible.

if anything you should be downloading the rom and then ripping it apart and learning how to do what i do. Then MAYBE ill have a little respect for your opinion and what you have to say about me or my work.I am not a dev nor to i claim to be.it is your choice to choose this rom. so what was your reason?
your right; those 1000+photos did take me some time to filter EACH INDIVIDUAL FILE,then integrate the two themes and add konis transparent taskbar(took me a bit) then make it all boot. ive not had bootloop with neither of my mods so far on evo.had it all the time on cdma hero
thank you for your opinion and keeping on topic.but did you flash the rom? as the op states; its a prerequisite to posting in this thread. If not please follow the rules or dont post. Thanks

I hope not cus thats version 1 or 2 and i didnt ul either of those betas. ill double check the link and upload my personal that i just flashed 8hrs ago. So far it performs well w/o configuring dconfig. im on 70% battery after heavy use.not sure if thats good or bad. Its acceptable to me, but not remarkable like damager.FYI​
Had a lot of problems, lots pf FCs and random system restarts.....
i havent had any fc's yet. please list your procedure so i can see what the problem is. i test everything extensively before i put it up for others. that would be very bad if i put up roms before i got them working then told pps i support them...
By any chance have you had luck with flash in the browsers? I'm currently using your finisher rom but would love to switch to this one, however if the flash issues still stand I'll try a different one for the mean time. Looks great BTW.

wasnt sure if i was just crazy, but i posted this in my finisher thread as a bug i found 3days after running it. When i went use a site that needed full flash(shockwave) adobe test said my sware was 10.blablabla and that it installed correctly. well i used my site and tried to use a java music player and when it goes to play, browser dissappears (no fc just gone) It worked fine before, but i thought maybe i was mistaken. no one responded so i figured it was just a problem for me. I NEVER edited anything with the wlan-ko, the browser or anything internet releated, so i cant narrow down the problem. Also, this is a damage based so not sure whats going on with this issue. if i find anything ill definately pm you. if you hear anything ill ask you do the same. thanks.

I completely agree with him, and the fact that people (including myself) have told you your forums fonts are annoying and obnoxious doesn't seem to sway you. I'm going to defend him as he was only stating him opinion; which he is completely entitled to.
AND, if anything...with the attitude you have towards development, why don't I see instructing threads from you?
(but seriously, if you just stopped using those fonts on the forums I'd be content and keep my opinions to myself, but sh*t you can't even do that)

did you flash the rom? if not please refer to ops. i am not a dev,instructor,or teacher. i am a tinkerer that ul's his roms so that anyone else like himself can have the same. I personally dont care if you ever read another word i type. cant really understand why you think your voice or opinion is SO valuable, or why you are any different from any of the other 20million haters out there. I cant see the "mod" title under your user name, so im pretty sure im completely safe in completely ignoring any outlandish,whiny requests you may have. Did the site just become facist overnite and maybe i missed something?Obivously my threads are riddled with the fonts you speak of so why bother to read them or post off topic comments that do not follow the ops in them? also, i do not encourage YOU or anyone else to keep their opinions to themselves. i welcome adversity. i can tell however, that you do not, since something simple as font/color which is our tool to use freely is able to prejudice you toward me or what i do here. it lets me see immediately how closed minded you are, and obviously would not like my work(it goes w/o saying that what i do is not for the normal crowd_more well received by the out of the box style of thinkers), so its no surprise that you would come to another haters defense.no loss to me boss.keep up the good fight, keep discouraging developers on the largest android dev site......glad im not a dev or i might be a bit offended by your words...if you want to whine more just pm me. this is a thread for rom related issues and developement as stated in the op in LARGE COLORED FONT, not the why i dont agree with the ops decision of fonts/sizes thread....WHY not go post in a thread where you LIKE the work? just another one of those crazy thoughts i have, just like those CRAYYYYYYZY FONTS.......Why hate on me? does it pay THAT well?

[Kernel][TeamViper]Spartacus_EB13_1.3GHz Build From Source[17 Mar 2011]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------**DISCLAIMER**------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Ok, So I decided to get this kernel out and played with a little more. Had quite a few people test it with success, so I'm gonna release it, but of course, I have to release it with the standard disclaimer.
I nor any of the contributors to this Kernel will be held responsible for anything you decide to do on your own. By downloading and flashing this kernel, you are knowingly accepting the fact that it may not work for you. If you should have any issues though, we are more than happy to help you to try to get it working.
The Battery Tweaks Have Been Removed Until They Are Updated... I Have Permission To Use Them, And I WILL Change Them, But I Will Also Make Sure I Don't Forget Credit This Time. My Apologies For The Last One.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------**CREDITS**---------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Rodderik - For helping me out from the start. We've been working on kernels since day one of the source drop, but I also had ROM stuff to do and he just kept his kernel wheels turning. The mans a Genius.
Supercurio - For paving the way with voodoo sound.
Mkasick - For the video and keyboard patches.
Paiyne - For putting all my tester kernels through the gauntlet and letting me know what needed to be fixed right away so I could make sure it was a stable release.
All my other testers - I wouldn't be where I am without you guys. So thank you all
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------**CHANGELOG**-------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
..::Spartacus v1.0::..
*Added A2SD*
*Added A Few CPU Scripts For Verification, And For Setting Frequencies*
*Overclockable To 1.3Ghz*
*Added A 1.3GHz, 1.2Ghz, And 600MHz Step*
*Added Camera/Video Fix By Mkasick*
*Added Keyboard Patch Fix By Mkasick*
*Undervolted A Little, But Not Much Because Of The Battery Tweaking Scripts*
*Added Voodoo Sound By Supercurio*
*Added Rodderiks Malware Patch*
*Raised The FPS Cap*
*Added All Scripts Needed For A2SD*
*Added My Custom Backup And Restore Scripts*
*Built From Source*
*Removed Battery Tweak Scripts Until I Update Them*
Yes.... I will make sure credit goes to everyone else that worked on them too...
NOTE: My custom backup and restore scripts are a work in progress. I know for sure that the backup works (I've had many testers confirm this), but I've changed the restore script, so hopefully it works for you. To give you a few features of what the script does, here's a brief rundown.
Backup
1. Backs up /data/app.
2. Backs up /data/app-private.
3. Backs up /data/data
4. Creates a compressed .tar file of backed up /data/data to conserve space.
5. Creates a folder on your sdcard for easy access labeled "backuppro".
Restore
1. Restores /data/app from sdcard to phone.
2. Restores /data/app-private from sdcard to phone.
3. Uncompresses .tar file and restores data to phone.
4. Once restored, the apps show back up in your "downloads" section of the Market again so you can still update when an update is available.
5. What to restore is optional. Whether it be both apps and data, or one or the other. You have the option to choose what you want with simple "y" or "n" responses.
When running the backup.sh script, you may see "No such file" or "No such directory", don't worry this is normal, it is still performing the requested actions. Also, before you backup or restore, the script will tell you exactly how much space is being used in the folder on your sdcard. This number does not show up until after the first time you run it obviously, but after the first time, it will show you exactly how much space you are using for apps & data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------**SCRIPTS**---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here Is A List Of The Scripts Included In The Kernel Flash And Their Description Of What They Do
(All commands are typed here exactly as they should be typed into Terminal Emulator following "su")​
1. 1200perf.sh - This script can be run to quickly change the CPU Frequency to 1.2GHz Max and 200MHz Min Frequencies while on the Conservative Governor.
2. 1300perf.sh - This script can be run to quickly change the CPU Frequency to 1.3GHz Max and 200MHz Min Frequencies while on the Conservative Governor.
3. backup.sh - This script was created custom by Team Viper to backup your /data/app & /data/app-private folders to your sdcard, as well as your /data/data folder.
4. restore.sh - This script was created custom by Team Viper to restore your /data/app & /data/app-private folders and your /data/data files back to your phone from the sdcard.

Spartacus Kernel Download & Mirror
Spartacus_v1.0_EB13_1.3GHz​
This Kernel Was Built Entirely From Source, But Has The Battery Tweaks Removed Until They Are Updated. I Will Post Another Version Tomorrow When I Get More Time With The A2SD Scripts In It.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------**APPLICATIONS**------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are a few applications that you can use with the kernel. Some applications are needed, such as Terminal Emulator, some applications are optional, such as Voodoo Control App, and some applications are just for fun, such as Linpack. Regardless of your choice, enjoy
Voodoo Control App
Terminal Emulator
Linpack
Quadrant
Smartbench 2010
Smartbench 2011
Neocore FPS Test
SimplyLock Lockscreen Replacement
Just wanted to make sure everyone was aware, even though they are posted in my thread, I am NOT taking credit for them. Just a heads up.
NOTE: All the applications that I have listed here are FREE in the market. I simply placed them here for convenience. If you like the apps, feel free to go to the market and purchase the donation versions if available.
You can also download SetCPU from the Developers page on XDA found here or you can get it from the Android Market. If you like the app, show your support for the Dev and purchase it, it's cheap, it wont break you .

I was going to, but i hate defending myself for honest mistakes... I removed any trace of anything people could yell about. I built this personally from source myself, and people can see that i did it. That way there's no questions. And for all the people that said stuff in the other thread... If you don't like my work... don't download it... seriously... developing for the Samsung Epic turned from being fun for me to living in a daytime soap opera... This may be the last thing i do.
Nothing against you ecooce... i've got no beef with you... I agree 100% with the statement you made, what he did was uncalled for... but credit DID need to be given... I just wish i would have been properly presented with the opportunity to fix my mistake before anything happened. I would have gladly done so.
I'm sorry, i don't mean to rant, i just feel like i need to present my case to everyone. If you've been a loyal follower of Viper or not, i never intended to do wrong. I understand that when ViperROM first started, yeah, we have had a few things that didn't work, but our ROM is just like anyone else's out there today... I've personally never heard of anyone needing to replace their phone after running one of my ROM's... I'm not even making the current release, and TPhillips busted his ass on it, but i'm sure someone will say something about it. ViperROM has advanced since we've started, and we're not backing down because some of the other dev's dont like us. We don't care. Again, i apologize for not giving credit to begin with, it was an honest mistake and i gladly fixed the mistake by stating i was sorry.
Here's the bottom line. I Credited other people in my thread, so it's obvious i don't have issues with crediting people. I apologize for my mistake. If you don't like me, or any other person of the team, you have the freedom to choose not to install this. To everyone else, Thank you.

Good man.
As someone thats around you guys alot (the team), I've got to say people on here don't understand how much work gets put into these things. Even though he borrowed some Scripts, as you can see here, the kernel doesn't need the scripts at all to run, and is an amazing kernel WITHOUT the scripts, with just everything BT made HIMSELF.
The dudes helping our Epics while ACTIVELY serving our country EVERYDAY as well, and you don't see him complain or ask for anything in return. Imagine yourself being in the military all day and than dev'ing all night. I sure as hell know I'd be tired. But he still does it anyway cause he enjoys it.
But as you can tell, it seems that enjoyment is slowly being taken away from him, which is horrible. Hasn't anyones momma on here taught them the "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?".
Dudes a great guy yet I haven't seen much respect shown toward him on here and its kind of sickening. I mean no disrespect towards anyone on here, but anyone that's got something against BT or anyone on the ViperTeam, take it up with them privately from now on. You may also take notice that they ViperTeam doesn't go around implying they're better than anyone like some other groups you see around. If you don't like their stuff, they don't care. Just don't use it.
And a problem I saw in the other thread was people saying the kernel was breaking their root.
People, if your on Syndicate, Their root is in their KERNEL instead of their ROM. Therefore if you flash a kernel that doesn't have the root files, you will lose root on the ROM because the root was in the kernel. So stop thinking its the kernels fault when your on Syndicate and this kernel makes you lose root.
Don't know if it works but you can try flashing the kernel than one-click-rooting if you want. That may make it work. Other than that, don't keep saying "I'm running ACS's rom and this kernel makes me lose root! rage!!$%%percent%[email protected]!"
/rant.
Keep it up BT, trying er out now.
Soooo...this does have a2sd?
I know it says "added a2sd", I only ask since the a2sd instructions werent included
Btw, whats the swap partition for? I have a2sd setup from baked snack, but I don't remember it having me make a swap partition...what purpose does that serve? (Just out of curiosty)
And since I don't have a swap, I'm gonna have to remove the partitions first....is there an option to do this in cwm or will I have to adb it?

Just installed and love the speed of this.
But after I wake the phone up from from its first sleep after reboot, color goes weird. Color is all washed out.
Screen looks normal on first boot, its only after the first wake up does it go weird.
I will reinstall when this is fixed.
Can we get everything except the color changes without a2sd?

I don't complain much on here, but one click root didn't work. I read the whole thing and it keeps saying not allowed throughout the process so hopefully I can figure it out how to deeply my phone. To the op, thanks for your efforts

BT again THANKS!
Will try it out.
Been running Viper Roms forever but was trying others while waiting for the new release. i was on Midnight when I flashed the new Kernel and it seemed to work fine. I then put Trinity back on an did a few more things....well bottom line I cannot get the new kernel to work now with trinity. I've odin'd back to stock and worked my way up and as soon as I put the new kernel on it hangs at the Samscreen. I can flash the 03a and 4 kenels with no problem but Spartacus is out of the question. Any Idea what I may have F'd up?
BT...just trying this out and seems to be great, as usual from team viper. Just a quick question...does running one of the performance scripts eliminate the need for set cpu...or would I still need both? Thanks again! Happy st pat's day!

Speed problems with my Sensation!?!

The only real problem I have with the sensation, is it's speed. It's taking forever to get here. Sense 3.0 lagged my delivery time. Dual core my ass!
Anybody else having this problem? Figured I'd ask as all others seem to be having a problem in some way or another with the Sensation.

+1 Agreed.
Mine is flying. I think you're confuse about speed and smoothness. If you think you don't, exchange.
Honestly the Sensation doesn't seem any smoother with Sense 3.0 than my G2 running Virtuous Unity 1.24 @ 1.2ghz. But I bought it for the 4.3" screen and thin form factor.
Oh dear. I think you misread the original post.

Just wondering, do you consider this guy's Sensation fast and smooth?
Ok, want some quicktips to get a sensation out of your smartphone ?
-root it
-get some good system apps
-remove all unnecessary apps/systemapps
-secure it
-optimize it
-replace sense with zeam launcher/ something else.
-Overlock it if possible
-clean the autostarts
and voila, you got your sensation.
ps: for more information check out my sig.

I got a Sidekick 4G ( Sensation ) lolol .
about to get a OC'ed Lagfix kernal hehe . w/ a nice ROM w/ TouchWiz 4.0
I have used 4 brand new Sensations with nothing loaded on them and all of them have performed differently. I'm trying to make sense (pun intended) of it. The first one I got was fast and smooth, the second one was laggy as hell, the third was a little laggy and the forth one was fast and smooth. Does anyone know why the same device would act differently when it comes to performance?
Here is a little video I made. Let me know if yours is this fast.

That looks just like mine. I consider it fast and smooth. But then I'm coming from a Vibrant, a picture of which is in the dictionary under "laggy".
I tried a demo unit at a TMO store and it was not as smooth. A bit jerky or stuttery when flipping between home screens. I disabled animation, but it made no diff. So, it does seem there's an odd variation between phones.

Yea, I wouldn't keep the auto install option on. For some reason I think it makes the phone slower. What is the carousel effect? I know what the carousel is but what is it doing? Engaging every time you go to scroll side to side? Both mine and my wife's Sensations are pretty damn fast. Not quite as fast as the G2X since it's running vanilla but I have no doubt in my mind that the Sensation will be just as fast once we get the bloatware and Sense off of it. I have not restarted my phone for 3 days now and have never gone that long with any other Android device. Usually when day two rolls around, my devices start to bog out but not my Sensation. Might be the added RAM or something. Once we get everything off of it though. We are going to have over 400mb of free memory sitting on the phone.

The carousel effect is when you get the homescreens to whirl around by swiping the screens fast. What do you mean by auto install option on?

If you go into privacy settings there is a option called "Back up my Settings" and "Automatic Restore". If you enable both of them, all of your settings and apps will be backed up on Googles servers so when ever you get a new phone or reset your phone, all of your apps will be installed automatically and all of your phone settings will stay the way you had them. I have done this about 6 times with the same phones and every time I do it, the phone performs slower for some reason. I know it sounds weird but it does. Try it out though. See what happens.

You didn't get a response because I don't speak gibberish. How about translating that into English next time and perhaps you might gets some feedback
I guess you were talking about how long it took to get in the Sensation forums through the XDA app. Were you being vague on purpose? You made it seem like a general statement. Next time, try to specify what exactly is lagging.
The dual core processor had nothing to do with getting here. The second core will not kick in unless it needs to and lets be honest, the XDA app doesn't need two cores to run it. There have been plenty of times I have seen the dual core CPU do its thing. I blew through, what my Nexus S and Nexus 1 would have lagged through.
Lastly, to respond with an answer for your post. Sometimes these forums get a ton if traffic in a short period ff of time which causes them to lag. There are also plenty of people working on these forums all day long to keep them running so people like me and you can agrue over dumb **** the other person probably knows both about.
