Hi guys and girls. Hope you can assist me here.
I flashed Android Revolution HD on my girlfriends HTC Sensation.
Now she has an issue on many webpages, both occurring with stock browser and Dolphin. When she for example enters ekstrabladet.dk (Danish news page) and opens an article, the whole article loads but then immediately after completion (or maybe 0.5 seconds later) the whole page turns white - the address bar is still there and I can scroll up and down the white page. I can even hold a finger down and go into selection mode as if the whole page was shown behind the white page.
I've tried Googling the issue. Some answers suggested changing the APN setup to not have a proxy address, which I've tried without success.
Then I've also seen one user reporting a similar issue where flashing a different radio helped.
I only flashed and rooted the phone without going to S-Off, so the Sensation is still S-ON, so I'd prefer not to play around with flashing radios, if that is not the cause of the issue.
Issue occurs both on 3G and on Wifi.
Any suggestions?
I haven't experienced anything similar with my previous HTC Wildfire or my current Samsung Galaxy R.
And this issue pretty much renders it 50% useless as a smartphone. The issue was never present on stock rom.
Flashed: Android Revolution HD 7.3 XE (with Beats audio)
Kernel: 3.0.16-v1.5.2, SebastianFM #1 SMP Preempt
Basebamd version 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M
Version 3.33.401.154 CL391535 release-keys
Browser version: Webkit/534.30
Edit: Regarding the option to use a different Radio, I just checked the ARHD 7.3 thread which states:
--- With 7.x ROMs I strongly recommend flashing 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M radio ---
--- Don't flash RADIO from ClockworkMod recovery! Extract downloaded file and read the guide inside! ---
so that doesn't really support the fact that another radio should be used.
In any case you are on S-ON so you can't flash another radio
Go to settings->apps->all and erase cache of the browser
If that doesn't work then reboot to recovery and do wipe dalvik-cache
See then how it goes

Exactly, that's why I hope not to have to flash a different radio as I would then have to get S-off.
I will try the cache thing. But since different browsers behave similar, I don't think it is sufficient clearing just the browser. Maybe Dalvik can help.
I also got to think that I choose SebastianFM kernel instead of Stock kernel or some third option because the guide I followed recommended a non-stock kernel.
Thanks for your help. Will give it a try tonight.
BR, Martin

I've tried clearing first the cache of the apps but without luck.
I then tried clearing Dalvik Cache (Not Dalvik Cache + Cache) also without luck.
This issue doesn't happen initially. Usually I can go to 2-3 articles on http://ekstrabladet.dk before the white top-layer issue occurs.
It seemed like it may have been taking slightly longer before it occurred after flashing the Dalvik cache.
I did try flashing stock kernel but without success. Maybe because I'm not S-OFF.
However, the SebastianFM Overclocked 1.5.2 kernel seems rather popular.
I also just tried installing SetCPU to limit the max frequency to 1.242 instead of 1.5 GHz. No improvement.
Any suggestions? My girlfriend is of course pretty mad with the phone's ability to browse news pages.
my mistake
i meant wipe dalvik + cache
sorry
also you don't have to be on S-OFF for flashing different kernel

I just tried Dalvik + cache this morning without improvements
Yeah, I know that I shouldn't need S-OFF for flashing a different kernel, but I for some reason did not succeed. I thought that maybe my method was not compatible with S-ON. Or maybe I am doing it all wrong, even if I had S-OFF. I just took a HTC_stock_somefilename.zip kernel file and tried flashing it via 4Ext recovery.
Also I tried flashing it via Kernel Update utility as recommended in ARHD thread. But after reboot, the kernel was unchanged.
I may go back to stock ROM, if I don't find a fix. But I would be very sad to do that as ARHD and SebastianFM kernel must be a great improvement to stock in my opinion. In particular because she also suffered out-of-RAM issues in stock, where custom ROMs are more optimized.

what error did you have when you flashed the kernel?

It did not give any errors. With Kernel Updater it gave a message that now I could reboot and my phone would have the new kernel.
And in 4ext it just said "flashed kernel ... bla bla" without any errors.
Just didn't have any effect on the phone.
I realised that I forgot to enable SmartFlash in 4ext, which I need because of being S-ON.
(Described in step 3 in this guide )
I assume that I can enable SmartFlash and retry the kernel flashing before trying other ROMs or going back to stock.
I'm not sure this is kernel-related, but I would assume that ARHD is so close to stock that I don't know why this occurs.

for flashing a different rom or kernel first you have to enable smartflash from 4ext(for S-ON devices only)
Flashing back to stock kernel didn't help.
I hope that she will allow me to try re-flashing ARHD maybe without the tweaks that I checkmarked during installation.
Or maybe I'll flash one of the below roms instead:
Elegancia (Blitz 3.6 version)
ViperS 3.1.2 (sense 4+)
Both seem like really nice ROMs and I believe she wants something with Sense.

Hi All
Finally plucked up the courage to register and ask a question after lurking for the good part of 2 years.
I've an i9020A and have flashed CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.3 v1.0 which is great, however I wanted to try Steve Garon's kernel which just wont take.
I reboot into Recovery, wipe Dalvik Cache a couple of times, install Steve's kernel which apparently flashes no problem.
I reboot and get the optimising Android applications screen then check my kernel under settings.
It is still the original KalimochoAz kernel and I cannot turn on my wireless.
Now this has happened previously when trying to also update my kernel under CDTDroid's AndroidMe 1.2 which I could only fix by restoring back to 1.1.
Any idea on what may be wrong here guys?
Appreciation in advance.
Lally
Have you tried just flashing again? A bad flash often results in wifi not working and may be the cause of the about page showing the old kernel. Remember to wipe dalvik cache again, too.
Thanks for the reply Harbb, do you mean a re flash of the Kernel or ROM? If Kernel then yeah I have done, same scenario. I'll also try a re download of the Kernel to see if that improves anything but this is much akin to me trying to update from Speedy3 to Speedy4 under AndroidMe 1.2 which was unsuccessful.
Just the kernel, as you've already tried. Just remember to do a NANDroid backup (CWM --> backup & restore --> backup) when you have a stable, working ROM. Can save you alot of trouble if you don't have a relatively recent one.
Also, are you using CWM 5.0.2.0? And could it be that your phone isn't particularly happy about the 1100mhz OC with Steve Garon's kernel?
I'd suggest updating CWM recovery to the latest version.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Cheers for the help guys.
Yes, using 5.0.2.0, but something is not right cause I just tried to flash CWR again from within Rom Manager (4.8.1.3) and it gets to around 95% and the app gives 'Rom Manager is not responding.
Looks like I'll have to try a complete wipe and reflash.
Will report back the results.
Forget rom manager all together.
Download the recovery you want to use.
Flash it via fastboot
flash kernel.
I'd do what albundy said - flash a new recovery through fastboot and make sure the bootloader is unlocked (vol. up + power --> bootloader: unlocked)
Ok, downloaded CM9 1.1, redownloaded Steves kernel, reinstalled recovery from fastboot.
Wiped and formatted everything twice then installed from scratch.
So far everything is good, still getting errors on Superuser, but installing again via recovery seems to fix that issue.
Cheers chaps.
Good to know Lally, happy you got it sorted out.
Cheers Harbb, the test will be when I want to change the kernel again I suppose, one complete wipe and install a day is enough
Hello Everyone, I am hoping someone can tell me what to do to fix this, I have been searchng and reading and trying things I have found online all day, but without luck. I dont think Im savvy enough to know what is actually wrong.
My Phone :
Australian Telstra HTC Sensation running ICS (OTA update)
here is my problem :
Wifi will not turn on, comes up status of error.
I flashed CWM + supersu v0.89 onto my phone to give myself root access so that I can use the gesture control application and also to get access to the \data\data\ folder for the Dead Trigger hack. this worked without issue.
I noticed that I was having major issues with multi-touch after putting ICS on my phone. I read that this is a known issue with ICS on sensations, and that a custom rom would be my best bet to fix.
I had read alot about cyanegen (or however you spell it) mods on androidpolice, so i decided to give that one a go.
Being a noob, I didnt know my sensation cannot be S-off'd (due to Hboot 1.27) and when I flashed the rom onto my phone, it would not boot passed the boot animation. (I followed the instructions on their site and did a backup with CWM as well as wiping the phone).
Looking into the no-booting issue, I found out that my phone is not S-off'd and is the reason the flash did not work, something about not being able to replace the boot.img and custom kernel.
So I found a stock kernel rom (ARHD 6.6.7) and flashed that onto my phone. this one boots, but the wifi will not turn on.
I decided stuff it, and used CWM to restore my backup, now my phone is back to how it was before I started all this flashing, accept that the WIFI will not turn on at all!
please can someone help me? I have no idea how to fix this, I thought using the recover option in CWM would put my phone back to how it was at the beginning, and with the exception of the wifi issue it did. all my apps and customizations came back.
How can fix my WIFI issue?
I have a Telstra Sensation too & i've never had any wifi problems with custom ROMs.
Did you superwipe between flashing ROMs? & Did you flash a different kernel?
Hi, I tried running superwipe which is on the ARHD 6.6.7 thread, however it got a "status 1" error message, so I used the wipe data and cache options available in CWM (which was the steps listed in the cyanagen mod install)
I also tried flashing SebastianFM's custom kernel, but that gave a "status 7" error message. Is this what buggerd my phone?
Thankyou for the fast reply!
the sole reason for everything is recovery
(ARHD says 4EXT custom recovery is mandatory ..yet you are still using CWM)
now first change the recovery to 4EXT
how and all the bleow guide explains (when you are not SOFF ..but SON and have htc-dev unlocked bootloader ..you have to flash roms ..little bit differentely ..traditional way wont work)
FLASHING ROMS WITH SON
FOLLOW the guide to the letter
i got wifi issues when using faux kernel.. no problem with sebastian's
Thankyou so much for that. That solved my issues completely, I was able to flash Cyanogen onto my phone and it boots, wifi works too!
Can you tell me, can I use 4EXT to flash Sebastians custom kernel even though I am S-ON?

First do the step 5 in the guide that I've mentioned (permanent enabling of smartflash)
Then forget about smart flash and flash any kernel
Alternatively if you didn't make smart flash permanent yet (which I highly recommend you to do)
You can enable smart flash just before flashing kernel and can flash any kernel

I'm having a problem flashing marmite 4.4 to the newest miui build (2.9.7).
Basically in cwm recovery and flashed the kernel.
Will say "ununderstandable message 3" and "lid is licked"
Reboot the device and it will get stuck on the miui boot screen.
Tried installing both the "stock OTA" and "All other ROM" version of marmite.
Same message comes up.
Already tried performing a full wipe (actual full restore, format system, format boot), reload the ROM.
Tried wipe cache and dalvic (even though it is not needed)
Just wondering if there is something incompatible or not.
I was able to flash air kernel without issues.
I haven't tried an older version of marmite yet, but will try later.
I'm not blaming marmite, it could be miui as well, or it could be just me.
I'm certain I'm flashing correctly.
I read bedalus' marmite post and saw 2 others with this issue (not same version of kernel or ROM).
The suggestion was that they didn't use the correct kernel for ROM.
I would assume miui would not be categorized as "stock OTA", so I tried "all other ROM" version first"
Am I doing something wrong?
There is a new version 4.5 the message you get I believe is like a joke. It does show however that the installation was successful.
Never experienced boot loops flashing his kernels.
Sent from my Nexus S
Actually, I downloaded that one just now to try and same issue.
It will just stall at the miui (ROM) boot screen.
I am trying some other stuff right now as well.
Really want to use this kernel. :good:
I'll report back later.
Thanks for the help.
Good luck. His kernel offers great speed and stability!
Sent from my Nexus S
For marmite 4.5, did a full wipe again, even formatted the SD partition.
So flashed miui 2.9.7.
Booted to the ROM.
Made sure things seem normal in the ROM.
Restarted just to be sure.
Boot back to recovery.
Flashed marmite 4.5
And it is stuck on the miui loading screen again.
Only thing I haven't tried this time is to fix permissions. (didn't wipe cache or dalvic either)
I'll try it again. :laugh:
Since I formatted the SD partition, it should rule out that it was something on the SD card right?
It's time consuming to copy things back to the NS.
I'll try an older version of marmite afterwards and then an older version of miui.
It should tell me what is causing the lock up by then. I think. :silly:
.... yes I have a lot of time ....
I forgot to mention one thing.
I'm flashing the official Chinese version of miui 2.9.7.
Wonder if that's the cause.
I guess I will download the US or UK version to try as well.
Well if your phone boots with original kernel, it must be kernel related. There's no need to wipe anything before flashing a kernel. Just flash it. It could be that the Chinese rom is different from the others, but that's a guess I'm no expert on compatability.

Took some time to test, but sort of found my answer.
It's the official Chinese miui that's causing the issue.
Well at least some component in the ROM.
I tested with the MIUI UK (miuiandroid) version 2.9.7 and it installed like a charm.
Before flashing the UK version, I tested with earlier versions of marmite (4.3 and 3.5) on the Chinese 2.9.7.
All failed at the ROM boot screen.
I should check with the miuiandroid team and see what they changed that made it different.
When I was testing I did a full wipe, installed ROM, booted ROM, boot to recovery and flashed the kernel.
I didn't even wipe cache or dalvic (which is not needed anyways).
I had to do a full wipe because the ROM just wouldn't boot back up afterwards.
I'm tempted to test with an earlier version of the official Chinese miui and see if it makes any difference.
... too much time and/or no life ... :laugh:
Lol, well it's good you found your answer So its not a waste lf time as you learn from this
Sent from my Nexus S
If you flash air kernel, and if it worked, I guess marmite's boot.img type can cause a problem.

Not sure what the boot.img type is, but I'll look it up. Thanks.
I posted on miuiandroid forums and someone replied saying that the Chinese version is odexed and not busyboxed.
UK and US version is definitely deodexed, I downloaded them and checked. I haven't found out how to check busybox.
I have a few choices.
1. I can use the UK or US version, since I was able to flash marmite on them... easy way out.
2. Find out how to deodex the ROM and, I guess, how to add busybox (?)... I get to learn more stuff.
3. Use a way faster ROM (eg. Paranoid Android - great ROM by the way!) and flash marmite on it as well... but really want to use miui again.
Thanks guys for your help though. Really appreciate the information. :good:
Glad you found a solution

You can try using a different recovery like TWRP. Back when I was S-ON and using 4ext, I got a lot of problems because 4ext was really glitchy (the problem you're experiencing is one of the problems I got with 4ext). Anyway, the way to fix this is to get the boot.img file from the hypernonsense ROM .zip file, reboot your phone to the bootloader, select fastboot, plug your phone into your computer, and flash the boot.img file using fastboot. Instructions in further detail on how to do this can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
If you have any questions on what to do then feel free to ask.

PS: My AOSP kernel boots on Sense based ROMs but not everything works correctly or well (ex: USB doesn't work). Also, the problem you're having is not the kernel's fault.
Great thanks! I believed it is the end... I've got last question. Why performance gov is not recommended? Are there better settings to make my phone not miss a single UI animation frame ? ;p

Mainly because performance burns a lot of power and produces a lot of heat. I'll remove the "not recommended" flag from it in the next release. A good governor for a smooth UI is Lagfree.
Dear all,
I've been reading on this forum for some time because I rooted an Ainol tablet an a Sony phone with help from here before. But now I am totally stuck with my newly acquired 2nd-hand HTC Sensation.
I successfully flashed the Revolution Rom HD 7.3 to the phone but even with OC Daemon (or any other CPU tweaker) I cannot go over 1188000 as the max value. No overclocking possible.
Phone specs:
* bootloader unlocked (this means 'rooted', right?)
* Hboot 1.27.0000 (Pyramid)
* Firmware 3.33.401.1 series.
* S-ON RL.
Further info is eMMC-boot, and it has fastboot on it.
Is it necessary to make the phone S-OFF in order to enjoy the overclocking benefits of the custom Rom?
If so, do I need to do a factory reset to stock ICS rom before I can do the S-OFF?
What is the best method for my specs to get to S-OFF?
I tried in various ways with the Revolution Rom on there, but I didn't manage to do it.
I saw this method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41244866 ) but I wonder if there isn't another way? I saw other methods for other Hboot numbers but not for Hboot 1.27 ... and if I do use this method, can I do it with the Revolution Rom installed?
I tried flashing various kernels not in the stock rom (some of which wouldn't flash and some of which caused the famous wi-fi error - luckily I did a Nandroid backup of my last known good configuration... had the wi-fi error twice already now). It seems also that i get some sort of 'image error' or something every time the phone goes into bootloader. I was unsure what to do with the radio file that came with the rom. I tried to flash that with CWM because I didn't know any other way, and maybe that was a mistake? I read that this may cause battery issues, and it does seem as if the battery drained fairly quickly especially while on 3g or WiFi despite black screen etc.
Please help.
PS I can provide screenshots if it helps.
Hi.
1. No, unlocked BL does not mean rooted, it's irrelative. But as you have a custom ROM installed after unlocking bootloader, you're rooted. Because custom ROMs are normally pre-rooted.
2. S-off is not required to have your CPU/GPU overclocked, but you have booted up your ROM, this means you have a flashed kernel. But I suspect something right now. Did you perform a full wipe (deleting all data on internal partitions, data, system, cache and boot)? I don't think you have done. Therefore, you might still have stock kernel, which is not overclockable. To flash a kernel without a computer, you must have gained s-off. Otherwise you may not flash any kernel flawlessly, unless you either get s-off or flash the boot.img of the kernel using fastboot commands (as you mentioned, I don't think you know it, do you?) Post a screenshot of your kernel info at about phone - software section.

he can flash kernel without pc(if it is as a flashable zip file)
with 4ext recovery and smartflash enabled
edit: OP you can't flash radio while on S-ON and that file can be flashed only from bootloader
you were thinking that you flashed it
and about battery in fresh install don't judge it so quickly
give it 4-5 circle charges until it settles down
then see how it bahaves

SENT FROM WHATEVER IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE LOCKED AT, THE THING IS THAT IT IS SENT.
Thank you to both posters so far.
I do not remember if I did a full wipe at the time.
I just remember it seemed to have fully installed...
Here is the kernel details:
3.0.16-g31a4fc7
[email protected]#1
SMP PREEMPT
This is displayed regardless of which kernel I flashed... even with faux, this is what it would show.
I thought that might be because all kernels mimic the stock kernel...
So can you confirm that this is the stock kernel?
If so, I will go ahead and wipe everything... and start from scratch.
BUT - if I do that and then restore my Nandroid backup - won't the stock kernel be back?
And can I then reflash with faux kernel or any other compatible kernel while keeping my OS configuration?
Extra info:
I have CWMrecovery on it and Fastboot.
The Revolution Rom contains 3 kernels to choose from.
Initially I probably chose stock, but then reflashed the whole thing, trying to change it to on of the other two available choices.
So if I did a complete wipe and factory reset, and then reflashed with one of the other two built-in kernels,
would it then be overclockable?
And what would happen if I then restored my Nandroid backup - would the kernel I chose with the new installation remain in place as the backup is merely the configuration?

if you choose one of the other two kernels then you can overclock
when you are restoring a nandroid backup it restores everything(system,data,boot,cache etc)
so if did a nandroid with stock kernel then it will restore that kernel too

Ok, thank you very much for the insight. Yes, I believe the backup had stock kernel. Must have been...
3 more questions before I consider taking action:
1. How do I get 4ext on there now that I have CWM already?
2. Is there a way to backup my current setup and later restore it minus the kernel?
3. Since my phone runs real smooth as is right now and I don't play 3D games anyway - what noticeable benefits do I get from overclocking?

3. If you're getting the level of performance you already want, I don't think there will be any noticeable difference. Most roms come with cpu governor that will adjust the cpu speed depending on task, low cpu to intensive, overclocking increases the maximum allowed, some app will take advantage of this it will drain battery faster and since you don't require more juice why waste battery?

for restore yes you can do also an advanced restore from 4ext recovery except titanium backup
just go to backup/restore->advanced restore and choose data
but don't restore system partition if you are coming from different rom or different base because you will have many fc's
Thank you to you both.
PG58IMG.zip - this file is 4ext? I do have this file and remember trying to install it via WMrecovery, but unsuccessful. How do I install it?
So if I understand this right, with Titanium Backup or via a 4ext advanced restore I can backup my whole configaration (installed apps, frozen apps, startup apps, accounts, screen config) for a given Rom? ANd then I can wipe everything and reflash the Rom with the desired kernel and then restore this backup and everything goes?

since you are on S-ON forget any pg58img.zip file
in my previous post i gave you a link on how to install 4ext recovery
about restore absolutely yes but don't restore boot partition
note: another way to install 4ext is to install 4ext updater apk
open the apk
select the touch version if you want
it will download it and install it for you
done:good:

What exactly do you mean by "except Titanium Backup" ?
What are "fc's" ?
ANd what do you mean by "base" ? Kernel?

the ability for backup/restore exists in recovery not only in titanium backup app
that's what i mean by "except"
fc's->forceclose
it means when you are opening an app(especially a system app)it crashes immediately
by base i mean a different version of android of the same rom or a completely different rom
kernel is the brain between software and hardware

@rz86
Thanks for the steps and clarifications. Life got me away from the screen awhile but I've now successfully done what you recommended. Works a charm
