revolution rom hd 3.6

hi
just followed mike1986 guide to s-offing and installing new revolution rom. All went perfectly thanks. the instructions take several readings on the s-off installation guide link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I am downloading all my apps again plus the ones that require root access.
my sensation now seems faster and smoother, i would recommend to all sensation users.
thanks again to mike1986.
it does ask to post experiences installing the rom but dosnt allow me to post on the developers forum as a 'noob'

i also installed revolution hd 3.6 on my sensation.
indeed all went well, the score in the quadrant benchmark is around 2600, it moves a lot smoother, everything seems to be a lot faster, except the internet. somehow the internet got slower, even though the settings are the same as before. plus the whole device gets a lot hotter than when i used the stock rom (how much hotter i can't say so far, but i'll get back on that)....anyway, i guess this is because of the 'overclocking'
and one more thing, taking screenshots doesn't work anymore.
all in all i still like this rom more than the stock one, but with the latest news, i hope there will soon be an OTA with 1.5ghz and also the extended HTC battery...

How were you guys able to get the radio loaded as he suggested? I followed the read me but it seems to leave some steps out unless I'm missing something. When I just flashed the ROM with the built in radio I had ran Quadrant and barely got over 1500 I believe. When I was stock I was getting around 1984. Right now I'm running the CoreDroid ROM and Quandrant score just registered 2253.

I really recommend you flash the recommended radio.
Download the radio file in the first post on Mikes thread, follow the instructions in the readme file contained in the RAR archive you download. Very simple to follow.
My Quadrant score just jumped from 1226 to 2638 by flashing the radio, I'm running ARHD 3.6.1 and absolutely LOVING it.
All credit to Mike for a fantastic ROM and Faux for an awesome Kernel.

Rom is fantastic indeed. i am just hoping he will port Sense 3.5 to Revolution soon.
There are alot of good new Widgets in it...

I tried following that read me but I'm still missing something as far as how I should be connected, i.e. phone to computer. Am I supposed to select charge only or mount as drive on phone when connected? Also this method is using a dos prompt for the commands and when phone is connected as mount the phone ususally shows up as "E" drive. So when I type those commands in the dos prompt won't I have to change the drive letter to reflect the "E" drive, i.e. my phone?
Also while my phone has S off it it doesn't have radio S off, how would I accomplish this? Sorry for all the questions but I would like to re-flash this ROM & the recommended radio as well to test it out.

Connect in HTC Sync mode, cancel HTC Sync on the pc when it opens. Make sure USB debugging mode is ticked in Settings - applications - development. Don't worry about changing drives, just extract the RAR file to a folder on your desktop, read the readme inside it and follow the simple instructions. It really is dead simple.

installation is as simple
just follow Jedi's advice - I installed the new radio last night...
no probs!
good luck dude - we're here for you!

screen shots does work on 3.5.x just search the post for the remedy you will see it has to do with changing a setting frome false to true and the 4.1 is the new 3.5 sense leak and is fast as hell. i am still on the stock radio as well as several other users and getting ncredible scores so radio change is not nesesary but may work better for u. i am on tmob us also check out the faux and bricked kernels much better battery life

Does somebody tried bricked Kernel v1.0 on Sensation with Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.1 XE Rom.

I totally agree, that Rom is Amazing. The phone is butter smooth and the battery, omg the battery life is crazy good! When my phone is in sleep mode it barely uses battery. I get through a day easily. Before being rooted I had to charge my phone by 3pm.

Sense is better. CM8 though... now maybe.

Why bother posting that in an ARHD post? This thread is about issues installing ARHD not which ROM is best. Please try to keep up.

i sometimes get random boots and sometimes it gets stuck at the beats auido splash screen.

anyone using this rom on bell? did you flash the radio? as bell uses different frequencies than tmobile will flashing radio work??

I just installed the XE version on my 4-day old Sensation
Installation was smooth and I got the screen capture shortcut activated too.
It does hang on the beats boot animation occasionally and I didn't install the radio update but my 3g speed seems a lot quicker (just done some speedtest.net app tests so far, so no 'real world' experience).
I want to try the 4.1 ROM with Sense 3.5 but I'm happy with the overclocked 3.6.1 XE ROM. Anybody with experience of both care to share?

htc sense keeps restarting...
I installed Android Rev. HD 3.6.1 on my Sensation and ever since HTC Sense keeps restarting! All the previous versions were fine until now... this is the only problem i have...
Any suggestions??

What kernel are you using?
Either revert back to stock or try flashing something that reverts your clockspeed to 1.2ghz

Thanks, I will try now and let you know how it went...

[Q] about Restoring back to Stock and Overclocking issues...

Hey guys!
I had to uninstall my Android Revolution ROM because of reboot issues :x and well i also gave CM7 a try but since its in alpha i had alot of issues with the battery draining way too fast (cleared the stats and everything).
After CM7 failing i tried Android Rev again since there was an update and i had 3.0.4 and never really bothered to check the thread to see if there were updates so i installed 3.6.1 and then put the No Sense mod over it (lets face it. Sensation cant run Sense 3.0 as well as the EVO 3d, insufficient RAM?) and battery was draining way fast and random lock ups -> reboots. Uninstalled that ROM and tried Android Revolution WITH sense 3.6.1 and again... lock ups and reboots.
Yes i installed all the kernels and Radios suggested with each ROM
ANYWAYS the questions i wanted to ask before derailing my own thread:
1) When i loaded up my first backup before any of the ROMS i had installed, did the original kernels and radios flash back and everything went back to how i had it? (read: laggy sense UI and poor efficient use of the phones resources, hurry up stable CM7 D
2) how can i OC stock Sensation to 1.5ghz? Its rooted and it has the original everything (IM ASSUMING) also i have SetCpu which i downloaded.
i have tried some methods via command prompt through the computer but lets face it, im a retard, kept saying something about access being denied so i couldnt install some kernel to flash it. Im used to just going to the CWM and installing from ZIP and presto kernel installed.
PS: if its of any use... Kernel Version is 2.6.35.13 - g3422292 [email protected] #1
PSS: really i heard that 1.5ghz OC and Undervolted was the most efficient for battery life, temperature and performance so this is what im looking for but open to suggestions. yes ive looked everywhere and i couldnt get to install it

Anyone? :x

1. When you restore a nandroid everything goes back to default including the kernal. The only thing stays the same is the radio and s off.
2. The reason you can't overclock is because you have the stock kernal, I don't think it is overclockable.
So if you want to OC it try a new kernal.

Thank you so much lol. But do i have to look for kernels compatible for stock? My battery has lasted a long time since stock.
What about returning to the original radio?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Most if not all work well with stock. Try fauxs123's or bricked.
But I'm not sure about the radio be really careful with radios too. I heard if you get a bad download it can brick pretty easy. So I haven't messed with those.
I'll look for a guide for you.

[Q] Android RevolutionHD 6.02 ICS - Minor Issues

Hi all
big lover of all things xda and have been using the site regularly for all my htc hero, desire and now sensation roms. I love how you can nearly always find the answer to any question or problem you may have in this excellent forum. Hence not having to ask any questions before and not being able to post in the proper developer forum.
I have just flashed ARHD 6.0.2 ICS (from ARHD 3.6.8) on my sensation and it runs okay, but not nearly as smoothly as 3.68. There are 3 key things that I cannot seem to fix. 1) Go launcher pro and a few other aspects of the rom are pretty laggy. I've tried forcing GPU in develop options and a few other things 2) Apps launch immediately, but the settings page and any option within it, waits at least 0.5secs before opening. and 3) If I go to settings\applications\running tab, I get a FC and it says "Unfortunately , Settings has stopped".
These 3 things are enough for me to go back to 3.6.13 for the time being, but Im loving the little ICS touches, especially the new gmail app and would love to keep it.
Has anyone else had this behaviour? Any thoughts on a remedy? I installed the updated firmware, and did a superwipe, all as required.
All comments much appreciated.
Cheers, Dom

Hi,
6.0.3 is due today,and it will have new kernels.
Maybe a more stable 1.5 GHZ version
This will certainly iron out any lag.
Worth waiting for ,before you jump ship.

How to reflash back to ARHD 3.6.12?
How do you re-flash to the ARHD 3.6.12?
Do you just flash Superwipe, flash radio and flashback again with ARHD 3.6.12?
As simple as that?
I also already flash the new ICS. I love the new ICS, but for now I prefer use the ARHD 3.6.12 because it is more stable. I have a doubt in reflashing back again to ARHD 3.6.12. Is it as simple as that?
Please assist me.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Yes,Super wipe and reflash.
The ICS firmware and radio will probably work well with 3.x.x
You may need to change the RIL to suit your area.

Thanks malybru, I'll try 6.0.3 when I get a chance. I've not flashed an RIL though, arent they included in the rom if you flash the correct radio? My signal does drop from time to time, and re connects when I change from 3g to gsm and back again. Different radios don't seem to fix it.
pefenky, yes as malybru says, that is how you would go back to 3.6.12 (or 3.6.13 now). Next time though, if you have a stable rom running. Do a clockworkmod backup and then when you flash test roms you can just go back to how it was before if you dont like the new one really easily.
cheers

Kernel questions?

I'm running opensensation cm9 (latest version). the last few builds have been hell on my battery, on a full charge im getting 5 hours with no wifi bluetooth and so forth. my phone like overheated today and took forever to finally boot back up. someone mentioned switching kernels, idk anything about how that works or which ones are safe to use on which roms. any help would be nice. thanks.

Installing a kernel is done the same way you flashed the rom. Flash the zip file in your recovery.
I think your choices right now are either stock opensense kernel or faux's cm9/aosp kernel. Also, I don't think developers release kernels dangerous for your phone. Worst case scenario your phone gets stuck in a bootloop and you have to go back to stock kernel or reflash your rom.
Just keep in mind that a rom like that which is in alpha stage will have bugs that won't be fixed by just switching kernels. Luckily Vorbeth has been working nonstop on Opensense. One would think he was getting paid to dev.. Lol

I don't really recommend switching kernels since Vorbeth has done kernel-level fixes for OpenSensation. Flashing a different kernel has a good chance of breaking something in the ROM...until the wake lock issue is figured out, I suggest using a stable Sense ROM like Android Revolution HD or Virtuous Inquisition if you still want the ICS AOSP look.

[Q] Darkforest Stuck At Beats Logo?

Hi
I've just tried to do a install of the Darkforest custom rom - version 6.1.0.
Im running Hboot 1.27.1111 and am S-OFF I'm using the clockworkmod recovery
I've installed the update.zip via clockworkmod and the rom seems to have installed okay - i've done the superwipe etc too - but now when i turn the phone on it starts to load upto the beats logo and then doesn't get past that point?
Anyone have any answers for me please?

The only answer I've got is: I have tried flashing it last week, had the same problem, couldn't solve it and used another ROM.
Every ROM works fine on my device, but Darkforest didn't.

install 4ext recovery and try to flash it again.see if it works
best wishes

Guys, please read maybe the last 4-6 pages on the thread. Known issue and I've only had a sensation for 4 days now (and 2 of them don't count because I've been at work or out) meaning I haven't had a chance to debug it yet. Latest stable version is 6.6.0

I actually have similar problems
Hello. Actually, I'm having very similar problems as you. In my case, after trying all combinations of custom ROMs (dark forest included) firmwares, etc, I'd found that I'm unable to boot ANY sense-based rom, even though they all successfully install without any issues. I then attempted to install aosp and aokp based roms and to my surprise, it worked flawlessly! I know for a fact it's not a software or installation issue because I repeated each attempt on my sister's Sensation 4g and it had zero problems my particular phone experienced. As of right now, I'm totally stumped as to why this is happening, but I guess I'm lucky that I could still function running Touchcream 2.1 or CM9. Please try more combinations of roms and fw to see if you're having similar problems. If you do, then there's a possibility that we're having hardware issues.

Hi thanks for the reply - I'm in the same boat too I've just installed the viperS ROM and worked fine first time so must be something up as Jonny has nicely pointed out - i'll stick to this ROM untill i see an update from Jonny on his thread.
Many thanks
