Stable customizable ROM for Sensation

[wcoast]

Running on T-Mobile 2.3.3 ROM, rooted with S-Off and on Simple mobile network. I?ll love to do more with my HTC sensation and needs help towards the right direction.

My expectations;

Stable and fast ROM, customizable options, better battery life and more reasons never to go back to iOS with all due respect.

Thanks guys/gals for your support to a newbie

I'm loving Bulletproof - it has some very nice custom options built right into Settings. You need SuperCID to flash it. The ROM itself can be found here.

Done with Super CID, do I flash bulletproof 0.4.1 afterwards upgrade to Bulletproof 0.3 => 0.4.1 Upgrade and
Do I need to wipe/factory reset before flash

Definitely wipe. No need to flash the Bullet proof upgrade, just flash the full 0.4.1 ROM.

Thanks, done flashing Bullet proof, everything appears to be working well, fast boot time, rooted, 2.3.4 ROM, tweak option and other stuff I have not explored.

Note: After restart I see Tell HTC the phone has recovered from an abnormal reset, would you like to tell THC?

Don't send them an error report. I actually froze that app with Titanium Backup so I wouldn't get that message when using the extended power menu.

For some reason, I’m only getting Edge and no long 4G data, any help and the battery is draining quick without me running any app.

Lovely ROM with great tweaks but missing 4G data and background apps are not responding

To calibrated battery: charge to 100%, boot into Clockwork, go to Advanced>Wipe battery stats, then let phone run until it dies.

To fix data: open phone dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to Phone Information, Toggle Ciphering off, Turn Radio off, Turn Radio on, Toggle Ciphering on.

What background apps?

 

[wcoast]

Skype, Whatsapp and Google voice

Done, my data is still showing E

Have you tried force closing and/or reinstalling them?

Done, my data is still showing E

Weird - not sure what's going on there. If it doesn't start showing 4G or H (depending on what you have selected) after a day or so, you can try installing a different radio. I'm using 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 and it's working great. If you go this route, you'll also need to flash the companion RIL file.

Switched network mode to GSM/WCDMA auto and 4G data appears to be working now, still playing with the background apps and will report back. Thanks

Does Bullet proof support video calls and visual voicemail or is there tweak that can make the magic happen

All the T-Mobile apps (aka bloatware) can be found here: "Stock Apps---->". Get the visual voicemail app, and copy it to /system/app on your phone. Root Explorer works well for this.

As for "video calls" do you mean Google Talk with video? If so that should already be included in the ROM.

While using iPhone 4, my friends were able to FaceTime/video call my cell number even with me on simple mobile network.

Are there tweaks I need to take advantage of and must have apps I need to DL. So far I’m impressed and must say the Bulletproof runs smooth and more stable than the T-Mobile 2.3.3. I need to add that my WiFi signal improved, I'm enjoying the battery percentage and color change option as well as fast boot.

Does rooted android have like cydia and what’s the Bloater for.

Is it normal to be getting unable to detect your current time zone error message every time I reboot.

1) You can use Google Talk to video chat with other people on Google Talk - either on their phone or computer.

2) Depends on what you're looking for - anything specific?

3) Bloater is to restore stock apps/features that were removed to lighten the ROM. If you're referring to Cydia as a way to download pirated apps, discussion of that is prohibited here per the Forum Rules.

4) I get that sometimes too - shouldn't be detrimental.

I?m referring to Cydia as in themes, custom wallpapers and video ringtones.

My Skype video call is working great now.

I can now say I?m officially an android fan and BYE to iOS.

HTC "Skins" are easily switchable mini-themes - you can find some here. Themes that change more system elements must be flashed in Clockwork - find them here. Create folders on your SD card named "wallpapers" and "ringtones" - place images and audio files in their respective folders and reboot to select them in Settings.
