Root [ROM] unSENSEable V2.1 |3D|Fast|Lite|Great Battery| Now Overclocking|Buttered Toast| 04/11/13 |

Please help. I'm new to flashing, but I believe everything is being done right.

Virgin Mobile, evo v 4g, using 4ext recovery with smart flash enabled.

I downloaded the file,

formatted everything but the sdcard,

but when I go to install it from the .zip, 4ext aborts the operation and says the file is "bad".

/??? This is the 5th ROM I've downloaded, and the only one I can get to actually load has broken wi-fi coding. I've considered it was a recovery issue (3 of the 5 were PACMAN roms, which never mentioned 4ext recovery in the install instructions)

Please halp! Thanks.

edit: one thing I can think of is the file is supposed to be 317mb, is that UNZIPPED? b/c the file I have is zipped. Will try extracting the file to the sdcard first, and see if I can install it like that.

edit 2---> winrar won't let me extract the file, says the archive is damaged or in an unknown format. :/ guess...I'll try downloading it again?

I'll try & make this my last concern because I feel like I've been stressful these past few days lol. I would like to have the vertical, horizontal, cyan (or whatever the color of the rest of the status bar is) battery icon, like Jellybean.

I'm working on that. I promise. Life has been hectic lately

Im not sure.. That seems strange. I would re Flash your recovery. And try again. Go with a older version of 4EXT

Let me know how it goes or if you need help

For starters. What apps do you have installed?
I would also be using 4EXT Recovery

I use 4EXT Recovery. It's been happening regardless of what I have installed, it was even doing it from day one. When I check what's using the battery even just a couple hours into work when it's under 50%, it's almost constantly 50-55% Screen, 10-15% Cell Standby/Phone Idle/Wifi (if I forget to turn it off) and then a couple percent for other stuff to round it out. I really don't know why the screen burns through that much when it's never really on other than for those little bits of texts I send/receive through the day. Like I said, I also turned the brightness down all the way and have the shortest screen off time I can use. I never really had battery problems with my Optimus V, and that phone was a POS which is why I upgraded to this one. I'm willing to entertain the idea that both batteries I have are crappy, or that the hardware of this particular phone I have just sucks.

nstagram Video only supports 4.1+ And I've came to the conclusion that no 4.1+ roms on our device support 3D am I right? I'm not planning on leaving this rom I just want to know if there's a way to trick Instagram into thinking I have a 4.1+ Device. I was thinking Market Helper would work but it didn't ): unless I did it wrong lol

You can't trick Google into thinking you have a higher version of Android that would require modifying the Android Runtime and it still doubt it would work after that

Tried the new mirage kernel today.(MiRaGe - for HTC stock ICS ROM - 3.0.85 - 07032013).
I don't recommend it. I flashed it over the stock unSenseable 2.1.
Battery life was pitiful. I even lowered cpus to 1188 Mhz and reduced voltage. Result, battery was at 14% at 4pm. The day before on stock unSenseable with similar usage I was at 75% at 5pm. I made no changes to my settings, but it keeps starting up Maps app and who know what else. The phone would turn on by itself in my pocket.
Going back to stock unSenseble 2.1

nsciucco you did a great job on this ROM. Thank you.
