Does the wifi modem works ?

I'm not sure what you mean by "wifi modem," but the WiFi connects and works.
Rotating the Sense home screen is interesting - but when you get back to Portrait, the top of the default clock gets truncated. Very odd.
And the Search button doesn't search. It tries to launch Facebook stuff. I solved this in Salsa by using a button remapper, which works just fine.
I'm not sure what the advantages are of this ROM over the Salsa ROM, other than the screen-off animation and power menu.
I've had decent luck using Salsa - I like Sense. If it were a little snappier, I'd REALLY be happy.
I couldn't access the market, just kept loading forever

Salsa Fresca 1.2
Tried Salsa_Fresca_1.2.zip after a clean wipe of the device.
Everything seems to work good, even bluetooth!
The only thing missing in 1.2 is mapping of long press of Search (hardware button) it pulls up facebook even with voice search enabled. and of course Radio was not functional, but at least BT was!
Also is there a method to manually remove facebook completely from this ROM or is it too integrated into Sense for removal?
Keep up the great work!

In order to fix the search button, replace HTC_SHARE for SEARCH within the liberty-keypad file located under system/usr/keylayout
Now regarding BT are u sure it's 100%?

.... it works? Even I didn't know.....
It doesn't... at least not for me. It's still a hit or miss. Other things that are not working properly:
- Lockscreen: We don't have the applications showing.
- Wi-Fi: Seems like it drops every now and then. Then it reconnects.

FWIW, I've been trying to get a kernel that works for these Salsa ROMs that supports all the accessories that Liberty needs to work with Gingerbread Sense. It's tough because official HTC kernels for the Aria ended at 2.6.32 and Sense Gingerbread seems to need something extra only available in 2.6.35. So far all my attempts have resulted in hangs at boot that hang even before I can get a logcat so I don't have any idea what's failing.
The 2.6.32 kernels work, but they spawn 2 or 3 flushd processes that collectively consume 96% or more of the cpu making them unusable.
I've put this on the back-burner for now but hope to be able to port over the board-liberty kernel files from CM7's kernel to the official Gingerbread Sense 2.6.35 source tree, but it's been an uphill battle.
Bluetooth, Facebook and etc.
As long as I have bluetooth on before I turn on the bluetooth headset, the headset (a motorola HK210) always connects. I always turn off BT on the Phone whenever I am not using it to save batteries. Then I turn it back on before I connect the HK210 while driving etc. So maybe it's turning it off and on that makes it work perfect. Not exactly sure but I have had not issues beyond the initial pairing.
As to removing Facebook and fixing the Search button. I just unzipped the Salsa_Fresca_1.2.zip to a directory. I edited the liberty-keypad.kl file as described by _jfo_. Thank you so much _jfo_. Then I removed Facebook.apk, HtcFacebook.apk, HtcFacebookChat.apk, HtcFacebookChatWidget.apk, and HtcFMRadio.apk (Since Radio was not working anyway.)
Then I rezipped, copied to my microsd card, clean wiped, flashed the zip with Clockworkmod and all is great! BTW I use My Backup App to backup call logs, MMS and SMS to my microSD and then restore them after the flash. Since these are the main things I really need the app has served me well and is well worth $4.99.
As far as the lock screen I would suggest removal of the "rosie_scroll" directory on your microSD card if it is there. I did and then a clean wipe/flash and now lock screen works perfectly. Even pulling the Phone, Mail, Camera and Messages to the ring works. Then pulling the ring up reveals the 9 dots etc like expected.
Thanks to all!
Gene Poole - Hang in there with the kernel thing. In the end polish is worth the time wait.
I figured it was not going to be an easy mission. But keep up the work. In the meantime, BT is bearable as is since I only use it when I talk and drive.
Thanks for your work and devotion Gene.

Running Sensation XE...
Does anyone have lag when switching between the home screens?
I have 5 screens all pretty much full with desktop visualizer widgets.
I realise this might be alot for the phone to handle, and the problem is not THAT bad, but it is something I would like to know more about solving.
First of all can anyone tell me if Launcher Pro is an 'Overlay' to Sense, then presumably sense is still running in the background?
So would deleting all the widgets I used to have when running sense help? (from the screens) or clearing sense data through settings-applications.

If you have launcher pro set as the default launcher the sense launcher should not still be running, things from sense however may still be running, like weather. I noticed lag with lp, adw seemed to be better. I actually prefer sense, though I'm in the minority for that. I would personally remove all widgets and icons from sense launcher to be on the safe side if you're not planning on using it.
Many Sense things remain running in the background even if you don't use it, including the Launcher and Rosie, even if you don't use them at all. Sense is part of the ROM, so really invasive.
If you're using Launcher Pro, and never Sense, you should flash a Non-Sense script to completly remove Sense (or freeze it with Titanium backup)
That's what I do=> No Sense script from Mike1986, Android Revolution HD thread, post 2. It's supposed to work with every ROM
It will already be really faster.
Then go into Launcher pro options, advanced options, memory usage:
most of the time, by default, memory usage is set to light or medium. With the Sensation, and all the free RAM we have, you should set it to high or maximum memory usage.
Once it done, using Launcher pro with 5 pages full of widgets (like mine) will be as smooth or smoother that Sense.
NOTE: Sense is optimized to handle correctly or both cores, Launcher Pro may take time to wake the second core. But if you force CPU1 online, it will fly!
(no no, it won 't kill your battery, you'll just always consume 192mhz more, but your device will suddenly be so smoother that you will reduce your max CPU clock, so in the whole, battery drain is the same for better overall performances)
I'm surprised no one else suggested you use a different launcher that's being attended to. The developer of Launcher Pro updated it quite often up until he released the Plus(paid) version, now he doesn't update at all. I know of the lag issue you're having, as I've had it myself. It's basically old code trying to run along side new code. I promise you if you choose a different launcher you won't run into this problem. I too loved Launcher Pro, but even the most beloved apps need a little maintenance once in awhile.
this is the first time ive heard tht launcherpro is lagging. it never lags on me. ive been using it since the original g1! no lag

I had the pro version on my three last android mobiles also. Never had a lag. I have all set to full speed in settings and it flies.
Never had a problem.

even on the stock rom, the day I had my Sensation, Launcher Pro was smoother than Sense, once well configured.
Now with custom ROMS and kernels, both are smooth
So I installed ARHD 6.0.3 ICS recently. Everything is pretty stable. Really like the new look of certain apps and the font is much easier on the eyes. I'm having three nagging issues though. I'm getting a lot of jank/jerkiness with ADW EX, the stock browser/maxthon mobile, and any custom boot up/down animations. The internet browsing is the biggest deal. No matter what settings I play with I can't smoothly scroll up and down a webpage. Any scrolling/zooming also re-renders imgs/text which drives me nuts. Is there anything I can change in the browser settings or general settings?. I'm not forcing GPU acceleration, I've used both the 1.2 and 1.5ghz kernel options at the setup, and I have t-mobile's version of the sensation. ARHD 3.6.11 (what I came from) was fine as far as smoothness in all 3 areas, but battery life was poor.
Do a superwipe and install it again. Kinda strange. Really had no such issues.
So i was wondering for the HTC Sensation 4g, what is the best RAM/Memory free you should have normally?
When i first had the Sense 3.0 version of the ARHD ROM i would have 150M - 200M and i would lose text messages? I bought "Ghostly SMS" to prevent this and use it still just incase i still lose text messages, which i still do. (3 Text Messages lost over 1 month, usually when they a bunch come in at the same time)
Anyways, with MIUI i had 300M - 400M. And now with ARHD Sense 3.6, i get 200M - 240M with only GOSMS Pro running. With another app running, it usually hits 150M.
So is there like an optimum memory amount you should have? I want to switch to Sense 4.0 (OrDroid) but i feel like it would kill my RAM a lot?
You want atleast 65 MB free. This is enough to launch an application or two without delay. At that point, Android will close an app or two to keep the free ram around there. Trust me, more used ram isn't a bad thing and doesn't mess with battery life or anything. Sense 4.0 will run just fine.
Thanks for that, I usually have more than 65MB so thats goood. I just didnt want Android killing the Messaging App on Sense 4.0 if it did happen.
Switching to OrDroid now!

Team PkMn has an amazing Sense 4.0 rom out too! I was using OrDroid but the tweaks in Charmander 4.1 are SO worth the swap.
I just switched to to Team PkMn's Sense 4.0 ROM and the tweaks are worth the swap. The only problem is half the tweaks arent registering for me. Ive been trying to change the "H" icon to "4G" but it doesnt change. The Transparency for the status bar doesnt either. I think the Status Bar tweaks just dont work for me.
I dont know if its because i installed something to show battery % inside the battery bar, but i doubt that.
Hi,
I wanted to know if there are reasons of why we should try IceCreamSandwich or JellyBean roms for daily usage that still have bugs, other than keep with Gingerbread, and in my case, Frankenstein´s rom.
What I really want to know are if ICS and JB have some benefits, or we just want to use them because they are new.
I only have my SL phone, and that´s the reason I don´t want to start flashing lots of roms again... just want one that works well and in which battery lasts reasonable time.
My normal daily use is:
· 1 hour speak
· mostly 2g or wifi connection. Almost no navigation.
· lot of whatsapp
· 30 min average of bluetooth
· sometimes some gps
With this use, my battery lasts aproximately 2 days.
I don´t play games, I don´t watch movies... I just use it as a regular mobile + whatsapp, gps, adidas micoach, jefit, and small apps.
I think it would be good to receive some advice of those who tried different roms.
Thanks for your time, and hope this thread is useful to solve other questions also.
The reason is that people get bored of same old UI.
So we try ICS and JB.
They do support UI flexibility.
Also performance of phone increases in games[That's not for you]
And They also support more number of apps than GB.
But be sure that you won't get same battery backup though.

some apps dont work on GB (google chrome, google now, etc..), thats why i switched to JB...
battery wise, mine last a day (using an internet simcard and switched to 2g), used only for updates, whatsapp and viber...
if you were to switch to a custom rom, i would suggest you use jellybam...
But jelly bean and ICS have lower autonomie than GB
About 1 or 2 day

Hi there.
I m currently using Frankenstein Mod (v 3.8) and i want to go for some JB or ICS mod which should be at least equal to Frankenstein in terms of Performance. Please .. and i want a fully functional Keyboard, To play 'Agent Dash', possibly error free GPS and full whatsapp.
Any good suggestion will be appreciated. And i have REMICS-JB in my mind!! what say

That's the risk to use JB or ICS, but if you use Jelly Bam the recommend version + Revolution Kernel = your phone live about 1,5 day or 2 day (I'm on Jelly Bam)
Of course, your phone still need some setting in the performance menu, suggested governor: SmartassV.2 with min speed 300 and max speed 1000 or 1200. That should give you no lag but battery saving phone. If you think your phone taking too much power, use CPU Spy, you can found it on Play Store

According to this, there's no reason to go for ICS or JB (Plus, these are NOT totally stable/reliable/functional).
Stick to good GB kernel/roms.

Well..
I tried to install CM10 Alpha 4 with no success. I don´t know if it is some trouble with my modem (I´m from Argentina), or what, but I tried 4 times to install it and couldn´t make it work fine.
Now I´m on CM9 Alpha 14, with Alpha´s 11 Kernel.
I like it, but I find it a little bit laggy.
Is this just a characteristic from ICS in our phone?
Any other Kernel to recommend?
Now that I´ve tried ICS and JB, I can say that a big difference I find is the way some shortcuts work.
For example, when you pull down the notifications menu, you can access the setting from there, and in JB, you can go to alarms or calendar.
Also I like the new recent apps.
What has to do with the design, I find ICS and JB really pretty. Spaces between things in menus, and other stuff look very well.

Defntly for daily usage i strongly recommend GB over ics/jb.. The main issue with later 2 os is battery. I m nt getting even half day with moderate usage..(at present i m using REMICS 1.7) bt still m using it bcs it is more user friendly, support more apps finally, atleast to my frnds i can say "i m running more advanced os than u"
:thumbup:
Some user have good battery life with jelly bean (2 days) !!!

For me, I use Jb instead of Gb because:
-Video call with Gtalk. No Gtalk vid call on Gb.
-Beautiful UI. The spaces, the consistency of usage of colours, the fresh new look of android.
-Built in Data Monitor. I can track my data usage and warning if almost reach limit.
-Expandable volume control(we can set media volume, ring volume and alarm volume just by pressing the button)
-Great keyboard.
-more apps supported.(apex launcher, some games, Chrome, stuff)
-settings button accessible in notification
-Swipeable notification (I like this because i can keep my text message to be read later while deleting other notification)
-Quick reply text messages using button on notification area without opening the messaging app.
-Google Now cards. It shows stuff without having to search for it.
-Very organized system settings.
-Different Widget displayed.(eg. Google+ widget in GB is a text bar to post new statuses. In JB, it shows people from our circle's posts.)
-Fast stock browser. (Updated html support)
-Can save web page for offline reading.
-can place shortcuts on lockscreen.
-apps on the market had given guidelines on the app layout.(not making apps that looks like iPhones and Windows phone apps)
-No pre-installed bloatwares.
-Can show to s2 users that I already have JB while they still ICS
Benefits of Gb over Jb(at this time):
-Tethering (tethering in cm10 is not yet possible)
-Have FM Radio in stock rom. Good to hear free music when bored.
-Have UMTS Video Call in stock rom. Can Video call using carrier charges(its the same price as voice call in my country. Very good to have)
-Can create folders INSIDE the app drawer.(value packs only)
-Good battery usage.
I would prefer JB more because I could use my phone more effectively. About the lag, I used the performance tweak and the Project Butter enchanter mods by Top Droid and the lag is gone!

Im using cm10a3. Usually it last like a day if i use it like sms, whatsapp, calls. But if you want good battry life, use gb. Cm10 isnt stable yet so have not as good battery as stock.

As rightly pointed out by amifiq in earlier post
My views will be similar to what he said.
But to be frank Battery lasts only for a day at the most.
leaving it I would rather prefer the JB instead of GB.
Above all it is the firmware created by our devs.
That is more important to go for JB.
