That's why personalize doesn't work. Already tried it on my own (a couple of weeks ago) by freezing up HTC Sense from Titanium and observing the behavior. Currently we're having too many dependencies between HTC Sense and other apps/widgets.
thats right, sense is such a pain. thats the reason why i removed it.
rom is still stable on day four without sense. everything works fine so far.

The search button doesn't bring anything up.
Long press brings up the option, I have "in app WiFi toggle" but short press vibrates and nothing else.

Could be a behavior of the missing HTC Sense (haven't checked it yet).
My Rom available is shrinking all the time, now only 45mb.
Not put anything extra on since it was over 70!
Anything above 20 is better than out of the box tho.
Anyone else's Rom getting smaller with everyday use?

Remember to do factory reset data and move apps to SD card. I'm running on stock, I have 60 MB free and a lot of apps.
i tried the factory reset, all it did was (surprise surprise!) reset everything back to square one.
had to reinstall all the apps, password, wifi - all of it!
in the guide you indicate they will all be there but as its a reset, how can they be?
Did you have your gmail account setup for your phone? Also were your backup and restore settings activated? (They are activated by default).
The thing is this works like this:
You setup your gmail account.
You download apps & stuff.
You sync your Gmail account with backup and restore activated.
When you do a factory rest and re-sync again, all your apps start downloading again.
forgot to say (no excuse, sorry)
thanks freakysands for the rom!
trying 1.4 right now
hmm, some of my apps are acquired from non market sources maybe thats it
thanks Alex, i'll try again
1.4 market keeps fc
shame tho, looks nice!
market with fc???
how did you flash the rom?
4. wipe data/factory reset
5. wipe cache partition
6. choose advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
did you perform point 4-6?
I did indeed, most odd,
I tried 3 of the sources too, do you have the md5 sum maybe please?
Your ROM looks most suited for me too, so I'll keep trying!

Occurs due to the same contact featuring in multiple accounts that are being synced on Android, which leads to a conflict.
Factory data reset should fix this problem. (not tested)
partition issue and link2sd
Dear all:
I partitioned my 16GB card into three partitions
primary: 11.x GB FAT32
primary: 0.87 GB ext3
primary: 0.38 GB linux-swap
For some reason, Link2SD couldn't mount my ext3 partition. (it kept saying it's not mounted)
any idea why this is the case?
I use Gparted software on my Desktop Linux to partition my SD card. In the past (HTC Leo with Android ROM), I never had any issue with this kind of set up.
any help / idea on where went wrong really appreciated.

I had MIUI on my HTC Inspire 4g and decided to give RCmix3d a try. However, when the phone boots up it gives error messages saying that certain apps are not responding. They are all MIUI processes (camera, music, notes, etc.). I wouldn't mind if they worked but all they do is make it take a long time to turn the phone on.
I used root explorer and searched miui which returned quite a few leftover files but I can't get rid of them. When I try to delete them, it tells me that they are read only and cannot be deleted. I'm currently trying to reload everything, but why would those parts of miui be left on my phone in the first place?
There is a reason there are wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache options in the recovery menu.
Hello guys is it correct that I flash GS2Wiper 1.8 first from Siyah Kernel 3.2.6.4 then install Siyah Kernel 3.2.7.2? Or if not, is there any other way to flash it? I heard wiping cache and Dalvik cache has got nothing to do with the kernel itself. Is that true?

Camera problem
Hi, I'm using Resurrection remix 2.2 and I have FC when I try to change the video and photo modes in the camera application. I did the full wipe, cleared the cashe before flashing the rom. Anyone with the same issue?

It was a known issue on RR2.2/2.3. Get the RR2.4 which have that fixed (But it have the "WIFI unable to connect to any wifi that have their SSID hidden" and some other bugs.)
If you insist of using 2.2 then you have to replace the camera.apk which you need to extract it from RR2.1 and force it into your System > app using Root Explorer (Make sure your have the r/w permission)
I was wondering if someone could tell me if there is a way to run a script or edit a file after doing a dirty rom flash and/or clearing cache while in Recovery so that I can control which apps start after first reboot? I am aware of apps that will allow you to stop apps from starting on subsequent reboots but those configs also get wiped when you dirty flash and/or clear cache.
Hi folks,
Fairly new user, have flashed a few, mainly CM (v7.2, v9).
I now have a HTC Sensation (supposedly an XE), and I've put SultanXDA's CM11-20140725 KitKat 4.4.4 ROM on it.
I'm liking it, but I get random app crashes and delays in the touchscreen (that not very often).
I installed 4ext Recovery 1.0.0.6, did a Factory Reset / Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Wipe, and then installed the ROM, followed by 4.4.4-gapps-20140811.zip.
There is no EXT partition on the SD card.
I did try the 20140811 ROM update, but I ended up with a broken setup wizard and a homescreen that was blank save for the notification drawer at the top and no buttons or icons.
The 20140725 version works nice and smooth (at least until the app crash).
Any assistance appreciated.
Cheers.
Wow. Popular thread....
So, I found how to enable Developer options in the ROM, and switched from Dalvik to ART.
The ROM sh*t itself through a couple of reboots, and.... so far, so smooth.
DSP Manager seems to have died, though. GUI works, sound just doesn't change.
