As some of you have come from the captivate know what I did there with Rom Q&A threads. I am doing the same here. In an effort to clean up the site. All Rom related question shall from now on be posted in the proper Q&A or will be deleted on sight.
I just flashed this ROM (version 1.31.0) and have to say I'm pretty happy far.
My only questions so far are, should I flash a different kernal or wait for the next release? Is there a preferred radio? And I'm having issues getting the 5 signal bar mod to work correctly. I downloaded the updated one that should show H and H+ depending on signal but it doesn't work. I do get a 5 signal bar from the mod but that's all. I miss my downloading/uploading H+ symbol.
Does anyone happen to have a circular percentage battery for this version only with the green dotted line that changes colors from blue to red as it goes down? I could only find a green one.
Thanks.
Edit : The signal bar started working correctly.
Edit 2 : I figured out that the signal bar doesn't show 3G, E, or H+ any time WiFi is on.
Flashing a different kernel is entirely up to you. The included kernel works very well. There is a circle battery mod add on like the one you are asking about is somewhere in one of the posts. If I happen to come across it I will edit the post to include it. As always should be done, make a back up before flashing any new mod.
I'll probably give the kernel a try. Should I use v3 or v4? There were a bunch of battery ones for an older version but I haven't seen one that has the dotted line circle that changes color as well. Really liking the ROM so far.
I had weird issues with V4. So did a couple of others. V3 Seemed to work better for us. Also I just remembered that the framework was changed in the latest version, so a lot of the previous mods will not work or will change some things and may cause problems. Make sure any mods you flash are recent. That battery mod may have to be re made again.
Alrighty I'll try v3. I have been trying recent ones, I appreciate the warning still.
I'll be flashing this ROM tomorrow I believe. I'm doing a little research about the radios right now. According to install instructions for this rom the preferred radio is 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2. I see something EXTREMELY similar in the radio thread but it's listed as 12.54.60.25x_26.09.04.11_M2. Note the "x."
This "x" version is listed as a release for the Desire, whereas I will be installing this on the AT&T Inspire. Should I be worried about either the "x" or the Desire release?
To further clarify: I will be rooting an AT&T HTC Inspire 4G with attn1's latest ace_hack kit, and plan to then flash the Virtuous Unity 1.31 ROM. I would very much appreciate any help or guidance any one else could choose to offer.
That radio is the same. Don't worry if it is a Desire radio. A lot of them work very well for the Inspire. Radios are subjective though. What works for me in my area may not work well for you and where you live. You really have to test it out for yourself. When you install a new radio and Ril let it settle for at least a week to determine how the performance is. I have had good success with that radio and ril and also with the ATT radios and Rils.
Thanks. The help is much appreciated.

I installed the 3D Gallery, and it shows them correctly.

Damn rules in xda...
I don't remember anyone else reporting this in the past. It could have been a bad flash. You may want to wipe everything and flash the rom again.

Ok, thanks.
Can i ask something more?
If i want to flash another radio and kernel on top of virtuous,
i need to make a full wipe/factory reset then flash "new radio - virtuous - new kernel"?
or i can simply flash via recovery radio and kernel?
I will lose any data?
Can it cause any problems?
I really aprecciate your help!

Radios are flashed in the bootloader and kernels are flashed in cwm. Neither require a wipe at all
To flash the radio put the pd98img.zip file on the sd card reboot into the bootloader from the power off menu and when it detects the zip hit the volume up to flash the radio.
Then reboot the phone from the bootloader to recovery and flash your kernel that is if you put it on the sd card

So, it wont be any problem if i just flash it on top of the rom with all my data and apps, etc etc? Excellent!
Im really grateful for your time and answers.
Can i only flash a kernel over it, or i need to modify the radio also?
And how i can revert to virtuous kernel? The same way?

I also had weird issues with v4 kernel and went back to v3.
On page 157, post 1562, has all sorts of signal bar/network icon mods. Post 1570 has battery mods including a Circle% with the green dotted line that changes colors from blue to red as it goes down, but I haven't made one for H+ yet. Hold on a minute and I'll make you what you want. Circle%, 5 bar, H+ for HSDPA and HSPA+. (Note: ALL of these mods are made with SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from VU 1.31) One minute
Here you go. First one is a flashable .zip with the battery mod, signal meter mod, and network indicator mod. Second is just the SystemUI.apk with the signal strength and network indicator mods
Awesome thank you. I went through page 60 to the last looking for 1.31.0 mode but I must have missed the battery. I did get the signal bar one working, it just only shows bars when I have a WiFi connection but that isn't a big deal.
I'll install the battery mod.
My next question is... Is there any reason the phone would run like a champ but have low fps in a game like Angry Birds?
I'm new to the overclock /underclock , and and wanted to know what the min/max meant in the virtuous overclock utility meant. The mainly, and it says min of. 2 and a max of 1.2, does that mean the phone will run inbetween those numbers or run at max most of the time? A quick runthrough on how this works would be awesome for a noob like me

On Virtuous Unity, since the stock kernel doesn't have the smartass governor, (and I much prefer the Virtuous OC app vs setCPU), I resolved the issue by leaving the governor at ondemand and setting my wake max to 1.4 - 1.5GHz. Games like Angry Birds can be CPU/Adreno-intensive. When I've had my fix, I just revert back to the 1152MHz recommended max wake setting. If you're running some other kernel, just take a quick minute to fine-tune your settings as far as max wake frequency and the governor controlling those frequencies. Experiment with your settings and see what works best for you.
I'm using v3(I think, whatever comes with 1.31.0). I'll give that a try, thank you.

Hi,
Please move this thread to the right section on the forum if it is not already. I got my new MT3G and flashed it with Cyan's latest mod it was working great. Then I flashed KSpec_BlurSpec_v1.00. One thing more i did here is move the media/audio to my phone too and at that time the phone just rebooted. Since then my phone goes to sleep and it wont wakeup with MENU or none of the buttons will work, only option is to take the battery out and put it back in. When it goes to sleep i can still see the green light flashing which means phone did not power off.
I dont know if it maters or not but have noticed if i am connected to wifi and no cell signal it wont happen, but if i get the cell signal it reappears.
I moved back to cyan's latest flash, cyan's stable, wiped, reformated sdcard everything i can think of but problem is still there.
Please suggest or help if you came across something similar. I am planning to move back to stock rom and see if it happens on that too.
Thanks,
There are all kinds of wake issues with cyan's updates and the mytouch.
I found running the overclock widget fixed a lot of flicker and hesitation apon awakening.
Usually problems that occur are from not wiping and or alteration of original files.
Try always including a logcat when posting problems. It usually tells right away what's causing what to act funny. I believe Cyan adds a log report app to his ROM as well.
Pm me if I can be of help.
EVOLUTIONX2
UPDATE-EVOX2
Alright this is just an updated X. i had alot of ideas in mind but i cant get them to function properly. Just as many updates in the V series were small, they led to bigger things. with source and everything this week it has been hard to stay focused on one rom. X3 will be a completely new beast. so for now pick V or X series. they work the same
END----------------------------------------------
EVOlutionX-This is a DroidX themed Froyo. its as reliable as V8 but now it has alot of motorola elements. i started Seem editing moto razrs so im going back to the beggining .
i recommend wiping everything then Flashing. IF you have V8 or Hero_overs rom, you might not HAVE to wipe because its froyo over froyo but if you experience problems, wipe then flash
This is a very visual rom. i love it so far. If you dont like it just restore your V8 or w/e. This is a new series of froyo roms so i will continue updating this with the V series.
New-Wifi-tether
sprint tv
all red
new bootscreen
new launcher
new live wallpaper
new market
new icons**
new froyo leak
wireless N
Ability to flash OC kernels
lots more!
EVOlutionX2
So enjoy it.
New Series Changlog
-EVOlutionX-Droid theme. million extras.
-EVOlutionX2- Revamped everything. much faster, smoother.
============================================================
EVOLUTION V9
Alright EVOV9 is based on FRF85B and has the Evo update applied. it fixed alot of little problems. Much more stable and smooth. This is considered very beta as the new updates kill alot of things, it was hard to get it right. 35+ test roms actually. I will be updating as problems are found. but the only things that are not fixed are mms, BTmono, cameras. everything else should work. I recommend a wipe coming from anything, but as always it may not be 100% needed coming from another froyo rom.
Please enjoy EVOlutionV9
EVOlutionV9
Quirk- some people may get no sim card inserted at google login. just click back and it will fix it. this is one of the issues i have fixed but i will address them at a later time.
I will be adding patches, one for MMS fix and another with a white taskbar incase you dont like the black one.
You must flash coming from any rom. Go to market and download TITANIUM BACKUP. click (problems?) and install busybox. after that push menu and select batch. BACKUP ALL USER APPS. when its done you will then have all your apps backed up. then install rom, rinse, repeat.
for people who dont want use this because of cameras, i posted this up and i guess people dont think about it. Nandroid backup your 2.1. after its done wipe everything, flash this rom, set up the 2.2 rom to your liking, titanium backup works on froyo, and nandroid backup this rom. nandroids are sorted by date so just remember the earlier one is 2.1. you can rename but people say it messes up sometimes. then use froyo when you dont need cameras, and just wipe dalvik and restore 2.1 when you do. thats what i do and i love it.

Recommendations- i want to include this as i know how it is just starting android rooting. when your start flashing roms, the first thing you do is look for flaws. now these little things kept me from going to roms. the biggest problem i forget is that there are apps out there that can replace the small ones.
Handcent-Ultimate msging app. i suggest you download this, go into the stock msg app and disable notifications. this will help with Voicemail issues.
Rootexplorer- you must have this. it is one amazing app
Better keyboard- the stock skin on this beats anything i have used. i recommend this app also.
Titanium backup- USE THIS AND BACKUP ALL APPS WEEKLY!!!
i will add to this as i continue. and one very very important thing, i got my htc hero in november. i didnt join XDA until january but i downloaded roms from day1. leave comments!!!! as a developer the most important thing is not how many people use your rom or how much money you make. its all about you all telling us you love our rom. theres no greater feeling than sitting down for 6 hours at a time and fixing issues and hearing thanks. so this is just something to think about thanks for the support everyone
Credits-Toast for first build!!! Without that i would be working on something else
Credits go to the the nexus forum where i got the icons
-thanks to the dev who found wireless N
-anyone i forget, i do not in any way shape or form want to take away from other developers. if i forgot you please pm me and i will include you and get you the credit you deserve.
great work, I downloading , will report back when done.
looks like fun, hopefully froyo is ported over before its official evo release
Running well.
Good work.
as stated above. please list in detail EVERY problem you find i will go threw and try to fix what can be fixed.
starting with BT. tell me what profiles do and dont work. i know a2dp doesnt but lets see about the others
thanks!
Not able to download from link.
Testing right now. I have to root with Toast. I'll report.
Nice work, getting closer to a stable froyo, will try when a get out work and report back with problems that I find.

Damn me and my impatience, tried it again and bam, it worked.
Thanks for the ROM. Here are 3 problems I am incurring:
1. Can't pair with bluetooth device.
"There was a problem pairing with LG HBM-570 because the PIN or Passkey was incorrect." The problem is, android doesn't pop up a keypad for me to type in any PIN. Then when I hit the back key, I get an error message:
"Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
2. Screen auto-rotate to landscape doesn't work at all. I tried in Messaging and the Browser. The setting Auto-rotate screen is checked under Display setting.
3. Proximity sensor doesn't work. When I'm on the phone the screen doesn't turn off automatically.
Other than that everything else seems to be running fine. The LED light goes away when I unplug, finally! I also updated the eri.xml to get rid of the roaming indicator. I will post updates as needed. Thanks

have you gotten the rom to actually load? i get stuck in this infinite boot loop. I flashed another rom and it booted up right away. i flash back to this and i'm stuck. I tried wiping everything including dalvik cache. any ideas?
Hello,
I am using a Non rooted Rogers canada samsung captivate.
I recently upgraded through KIES to Froyo.
The two issues I am having are:
1) Wifi, i use juice defendor, so when i enter my house wifi is enabled automatically, many times, there is an error, and i cant click wifi on until a reboot, then it works fine for a while until it will happen again.
2) The notification bar doesn't slide down at times, and the only way to fix this is by rebooting. These two things are very annoying as they happen on a daily basis, or every other day.
I have seen these issues happen to others, so I know im not the only one, but I cant find a solution anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated.
anything i can do? would a factory reset help and a full reinstall?

It might but to be honest I have never seen a stock rom that is not buggier then any custom rom i have run. What you could try is start from scratch and see if the prob happens on an out of the box set up. If it does then it is an issue with the rom, if not then install your apps one by one to see if one of them is covering it. My advice? Grab one of the custom roms build from the Rogers 2.2 update like Cog or Firefly.
Try uninstalling juice defender.
I had the same problem with notification panel not sliding down after installing juice defender. I uninstalled it and the problem went away.
Did you solve the problem with the notification dropdown? Was it Juice Defender? I am experiencing the same issue.
I have problem number 2 too. No juice defender or any power saving tool or what not running in the background. Happens only once in a while although so its not killing me
Same problem here. I can't pin it to a specific program. But I think it has something to do with a certain notification because it always does it when I download a program or install a new program.
I've experienced both but after OCLF (which requires root) the notification bar issue doesn't happen. I've recently moved on to a stock kernel injected with voodoo lagfix (courtesy of supercurio) after having tried speedmod which gave me horrible battery life.
My battery life is good enough that I just leave wifi on all the time to avoid issue #1. When the wifi issue happened, going to airplane mode and back would fix it too without a full reboot.
k the best thing to do in your situation as people new to xda is if you are unrooted and want to stay that way go into the rogers store and say your touchscreen is buggy which to me seems like the issue you are having. also if your on the stock rogers 2.2 as i was for a coupple months all i can tell you is that its super buggy (as you could probobly tell from that terror they called an install). if your confident and want to get your feet wet with a great custom rom i would go with firefly that should fix any issues you have its a fuly stable final release and best part its based on rogers software not at&t so it will work flawlessly with the network and most likley fix any problems you are having
Don't use 100% pure stock
Use tweaked - with EXT4 LagFix, OC/UV, Sideloading enabled, rooted, VoodooSound, with GPS fixes.
Older Cognition 3.4 was Rogers based - I can recommend that.
**Added a few new things now that we have S-off. Check them out below.**
This thread was created simply for Noobs. Yes, if you don't know how to boot into the bootloader..than you should be reading this. We were all Noobs once. You can always check this more than once since i will be updating it with more issues and solutions fellow members post that i might have forgot to add.
If you dont have this recovery flashed already here is a Link to a WORKING CHARGING WHILE OFF RECOVERY PLEASE FLASH IT JUST TO BE SURE YOUR SAFE here. Will get removed when Rom Manager gives you the right recovery and not a broken one.
My Phone Died and i can't turn it back on!!! help!!
1. Download the recovery i have posted above. Once downloaded rename to remove the name of the recovery until its just named recovery.img.
2. Plug your device to a computer and run the command
adb reboot
or
adb reboot bootloader
if your device doesn't turn on, then simply pull the battery, put it back in, then redo the steps.
3. Once your phone does power on from one of those commands, reboot into android OS and put the recovery on the root of your sdcard.
4.Boot into bootloader while plugged into the computer and run the following command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then the problem is fixed! I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, but thats the fix.
7/28/11 We now have s-off.
follow this guide here for a better in depth on how to do it. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
How do i flash a ROM on my sensation?
1.place the rom on the ROOT of your sdcard.
2.boot into recovery using either the app rom manager and choosing boot to recovery, MORE THAN LIKELY your custom rom will have the advanced power menu so you can just hold the power key, go to restart, then choose recovery, or powering off and booting holding power+vol down, then scroll down to recovery, press power key.
3. WIPE your DATA/CACHE partitions, then scroll down to advanced and wipe your dalvik cache.
4. go to install zip from your SDCARD
5. Choose zip from sdcard.
6. Find the rom, press power button, and install it.
7. Reboot and enjoy!
Will i lose all my texts, apps,etc when i install a new rom?
Yes you will. You could make a titanium backup of everything though and restore it when your done flashing the roms so you can get everything back. Download titanium from the market.
What is the difference between a Nandroid Backup and using Titanium backup??
Well When you make a nandroid backup, your backing up the ENTIRE rom, not just things you want to restore onto your new rom. in other words, with a nandroid, if you want to go back to your previous rom if you don't like the new one, use a nandroid backup.
Nandroid sounds interesting and is something i would like to do!! How do i do it?!
You boot into recovery, go down to where it says backup and restore, and choose backup, name it, then go ahead and back it up. Thats obviously where you want to restore it as well. You *ALSO* can choose the app ROM Manager and do it from there.
My battery Life SUCKS after i flashed this New ROM!! IS MY BATTERY MESSED UP??
Nah its not don't worry about it. Your battery life usually is going to suck because your battery stats got wiped from android, and it has to recreate it. So let the battery die once probably, fully charge it, then let it die again. then Charge it then you should be ok. Give it a day or two you should see a change. If not, let the developer of the ROM know NICELY in his thread. If you see that someone already posted about the battery life, no need for you to post it as well.
How do i flash a kernel??
You flash it exactly how you do a ROM. No need to wipe anything just flash it and reboot.
How do i flash a RADIO?
That depends. if its in a format and the name starts with a P then has a bunch of different numbers after, then you do the following:
1. Place on the root of your sdcard.
2. Reboot into the bootloader.
3. Then it will find it, and ask you if you want to update.
4. Let it do the update. It will only replace the radio.
5. Reboot into recovery and wipe DALVIK cache.
6. Reboot and enjoy.
ALWAYS make sure you read the Original post of the person who is providing the radio to make sure he ripped everything out and its ready to flash.
My Phone is S-OFF and it fully died and now it won't turn back on and it doesn't look like its charging while its off WTF AM I BRICK?!?!
No its not. From what i learned its in "offline" charging mode since the battery is so low, and even though the light isn't showing, its still charging. To turn back on:
1. Either wait a few mins and let it charge for a little, then pull battery, put it back in and try to turn on.
2. Plug into computer, let it sit for a second, then use this command from terminal:
adb reboot
It will turn it on for you. i honestly don't know WHY its like this, but thats just how it is for right now. i personally had to use the second option. If i learn more about this, ill update you guys.
Does this Recovery update?! If so, how do i UPDATE IT?!
Since S-off and recovery JUST became available to us, its prolly not updated right now. But for future reference just download the App ROM Manager from the market. Once loaded, if there is ever an update or something for it, it will be in that app. then you can choose it from there and it will update it for you.
I hold the volume down+the power button but it doesn't boot into it!!!! help!!!
Pull the battery out before you do it. OR to make things ALOT easier, before turning your sensation off go into settings,power, and uncheck the Fastboot option. Now when you turn the device off, it will fully power down instead of just going into a "sleep" mode. Now do it.
My wifi is terrible! When i turn it sideways, i lose ALL MY BARS!! WTF?!?!
'Try moving your hand, you might be detuning the WiFi antenna'. If you know that the WiFi antenna is adjacent to the camera lens, you're more likely to be aware when you're covering it. But Your not alone either. i actually have this same problem as well. Yes i know it sucks. There are only three things you could do here though honestly since We haven't really brought it down to a conclusion of is it our hardware that's causing it or is it the software.
1.You could boot into bootloader and data wipe your sensation to see if it fixes it. BE WARNED IT WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE, MEANING EVERYTHING WILL GET DELETED OFF IT! APPS, MESSAGES ETC.
2.If that doesn't fix it, go into Settings-Wifi & Networks-Wifi Settings. Once your in there press the menu button and go to the advanced option in the pop-up menu. Once in there choose Best Wifi Performance.
3. If that doesn't work, then you need to get a warranty replacement. we know it sucks, we promise.
My touchscreen stops being responsive! Whats going on!?
It seems to be happening to everyone after about a week of use, me as well. We think maybe an ota will fix it. But to do a quick fix of it just turn the screen off for a few seconds then turn it back on. it usually fixes it whenever it stops working.
My Data connection is horrible and extremely slow. Why?!
This also seems to have happened to everyone. To try to fix, call t-mobile and see if they have your phone in their database, and make sure on their database it has that you have a sensation and they have the right data package going for you. Also make sure your Sim card isn't old, which t-mobile can also fix for you. I Can personally say talking with t-mobile helps. i used to have poor connection. now i can use wifi hotspot for my laptop while being on the phone talking with someone still with full 4G bars.
You could also try this fix ( Thanks Mysterioustko):
-Go into the dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
-Select Phone Info
-Go to the "toggle cyphering" button and disable it
-For good measure turn off radio and then turn it back on
-Then reenable the "toggle cyphering" button
Just got my new sensation but its really hot!!! Is it defective?!
No it's not defective, its just hot. These batteries can heat up from time to time, ESPECIALLY on your first few charges, but it won't happen much anymore after. My battery was extremely hot from just charging it for the first time with the phone turned off, so i'm speaking from experience and from other users as well.
The voicemail notification won't leave the status bar even when i don't have a voicemail!!
Simple fix: Settings-Call-Clear Voicemail Notification.
Any more questions? Please Ask here. Ill try to answer them and add them to this post. Hope this helps people. Let's not keep asking the same questions over, and over, and over.. and over again.
you should add in some of the other known issues too, such as no sound issue & the voicemail icon clear, & try to get this as a sticky.

That Makes sense. Just i never came across that voicemail or no sound issue. Direct me to a link real quick so i can add them so i can see the problem and post the solution? Thanks alot for the input i appreciate it. ill keep looking for more Problems and what not. And i already asked a MOD to sticky it. I just doubt they'd Sticky it in the General AND Developement section, since i posted it there as well for the people who miss it here somehow (or just never come to this section of our forums) and vice versa.
I've read about people having touchscreen issues, where parts of the screen become randomly unresponsive. I have also noticed this on mine. Is the presiding school of thought that this can be fixed with their update?
I also have intermittent data stalls that require a cycle in and out of airplane mode to fix. Tmo has advised me that htc is going to fix this in their update and they are aware of it.

Thanks for this. Couldn't hit the thanks button for this post. Apparently ive thanked too many people for one day
Added the Touchscreen issues and the data stalls. Let me know if i didn't put it in there right. And yeah i do think an OTA will fix it. Lets just hope for the best. I highly doubt its a hardware issue since everyone seems to be getting it after using the device for about a week.

I'll get around to that soon
For the voicemail icon bug, I just called my phone and left myself a message and removed it. Worked well..
Temp stickied here as well. Please note that if/when we do a rollup that this may be un-stuck and added to the rollup thread.

Thanks. Op updated.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this type of question but I didn't want to start another thread for something so simple.
Sometimes after I send a text message, the large word I typed magically reappears in the textbox. It happens randomly and I don't know how to reproduce it.
Hey
...wow... these forums are MASSIVE and I can't search noting? whats up with that?
Anyway that's off topic, so can I update the Hboot to 1.18, is the newly ship t-mobile phones at 1.18.
Issue #1: Downloaded Apps that was save on the SD card and showed on the homescreen, icons wont show or becomes like of the andriod market icon after a reboot.
Solution: Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Choose "All" tab> and look for the HTC Sense loader app. Tap it and choose "force stop" then press the home button. your homescreen will reload and the apps icons will now show.
Issue #2: HTC Sensation's default video player, sound goes away after 50-70secs of playing time.
Solution: i downloaded a different player since im getting pissed off with the default player and i cant seem to find a fix for it. i really hope this would get fixed with featured updates.
^Issue #1 worked great...cool! But, not sure how often it will need to be done....
well for me, everytime my device restarts, i do this.
Two main issues I've noted thus far, one minor, one moderate:
1. Sense performance seems choppy/sluggish when swiping from one screen to another. I believe this part of Sense is called "Rosie" but not sure. Sense performance is *definitely* slower than the EVO 3D which is weird because both phones have nearly identical hardware. Software glitch?
2. Battery use is *much* higher than I expected even after having a couple of weeks for the battery to settle in. I'm getting 150ma to 250ma usage when phone is just sitting there, screen off, not doing anything special. Yes, I have it set to push mail from Exchange, sync weather once per hour, sync with HTCSense.com, stocks, GMail, and Facebook. My HD2 did all this with about 20ma-40ma usage so can't understand why the Sensation sucks up so much more juice doing the same work. Turning on the screen and GPS (I use Google Nav) puts me in the 600+ma usage range. I currently can't get through even a half day of decent usage without draining the battery flat.
Item #1 is probably a software glitch because I've heard others complain about it. I'm hoping an OTA fix is on the way that will also unlock the bootloader.
Item #2 is more worrisome. I can't understand why the phone is using so much more power than my old HD2 (running Coredroid 1.6). 4G coverage near me is not all that good. I have a funny feeling the 4G radio is really sucking down the juice. Is there a way to force it back to 3G mode? I don't need 4G speed all the time and would prefer the better battery life.

I was also wondering this too. I just got a Sensation yesterday and am wondering how to turn off the 4G to save juice when I don't need it
The WIFI sucks so much!!!! ugh.... i hate it!! if i change a new battery cover, is it gonna turn into normal? i just got my Sensation like an Hr ago...
Final Root Method
Where will this be posted once achieved? I'm dying for it! Thanks.
Having an issue with Google Navigation (maps is ok), but whenever it goes 3D mode it crashes shortly after :|
Currently on HBoot 2.14
Have noticed E/Sensors (973): MLUpdateData error (code 31) a couple of times throughout the logcat, is this G-Sensor related?
Phone slowing down after Viper 3.1
Did anyone who installed Viper 3.1 experience phone slowing down after the install? There is a lag when the notification bar is pulled down or switching between screens.
Being a noob, this is what I did -
1.) fastboot flash boot boot.img
2.) wiped cache and dlvik cache
3.) flashed viper3.1.zip
4.) I haven't tinkered around with the kernel. It should be the stock.
In effort of speeding up the device, I went to Venom Tweaks --> CPU and switched to "Performance". Not sure if that was the right thing to do.
Reading the Forums, everyone seems to have buttery smooth experience, not me
Any help is appreciated.

This is something I've noticed from Jelly Bean in general ( Cyanagenmod, AOKP, and Sense 4.5 ). Devs keep saying they'll address it before it eventually gets swept under the rug. Between that and signal issues I was having I've switched back to running stock (I'd rather have a working phone with a little bloat and a few less features). If you have to have Google Navigation you may want to do the same. Or maybe someone could set up a bounty to have devs actually do something about it (if there is something that can be done). Or you can go back to sense 4.0 for the time being. Sorry to sound like a negative Nancy.

The lag when pulling down notification is because you have quick toggles enabled. Disable them and it will be much faster.

On the topic of the Notification bar, I have the Horizontal Quick Settings, has VQS been ported over as well or only HQS at this time? ViperXL 3.1.0
Cheers.
Waze is what I always use on JB roms, works like a champ. Its sweet, one of the coolest apps in the market. So another one who recommends waze
