[Q] Android 4.0 ROM for HTC Sensation?

Hey devs,
Found a few threads from the HTC Desire department where they are talking about Android 4.0 and making a 4.0 ROM for the Desire...
Is that also possible with our Sensation? I mean, we have better processor, GPU, screen etc. Haven't found anything about this in the Sensation department yet.
Thought I'd ask
Greetings!

Why can't you report stuff on the XDA app yet?

yes, of course Android 4.0 will be released by our fellow devs on XDA I can't see it happening mainstream across all networks for months though.

I saw some screenies on the Nexus Galaxy, looks slick as hell! I might just have to get the Nexus too when it comes out. Too many new phones, not enough time to enjoy a single one before I'm on to the next.

bump, would be a nice idea...

no need to change the sdcard...
need some info here..you are 1.17.111 and i assume you are SOFF (deduced this by reading your post)...
the only misssing this is cid...if you are supercid thats good...otherwise
get the corresponding 3.32 firmware for your cid...or you can simply supercid as you are soff "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
firmware thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154
now for iCS you require 3.32 firmware...and what issues you are facing when flashing the firmware ?
you can take this guide as refernece for flashing firmware (steps 4 and 5 for flashing firmware)

xe kernel source out

Can anyone figure out how the Xeon runs at 1.5 now that the kernel source is out?

Xeon? wrong forum?

I think he thinks that the XE stands for xeon (I've never heard of this myself)

Really? I mean the sensation xe. I'm asking bc I want to know how its running at stock 1.5 so that I can use this on my regular sensation. Yes I know there are custom kernels that give this option but would rather run 1.5 on stock configuration

Let's do it
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App

It's the same processor, HTC just underclocked our CPU to 1.2ghz at the time to save battery.
But with the XE having a much bigger battery, they can evenout the battery life and run the CPU at it's intended speed.

understood, but the question is HOW. If they both have the same hardware, there is something (kernel related maybe) that is making the XE run at 1.5 . Nobody has been able to figure this out as of yet (at least from what I've read).

Correct. Question is why same firmware runs at different clock speeds on the same hardware on two different models
edit, what it's XE CID?.

Different Phones ROMs?

Is it possible to use other phones ROMs on my sensation?
Like a GlaxyS2 ROM ? (Sensational)
I like those ROMs so much better as they have so much more variety than ours

No. Unless you port them over.

ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6

I don't know why some may say ICS on Sensation is lagy, but I can say it is smoother. I love everything about the update. If you have a Sensation 4G, the ICS update is well worthy to update to. So, the update is not available in the US, it is worth rooting and the whole 9 yards, be advised! Getting ICS on Sensation 4G is a wreck of work, but there are a lot of helpful threads to seek into before attempting anything. I'm rooted/CID/Firmware ready to flash and I love ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 Being on Sense 3.0 Gingerbread can't compare! So, thanks to all of the helpful threads and Developers and last but not least XDA!...CHEERS!

Even that wasn't hard. Unlock your bootloader which is almost fully automated, flash su, done.

arent mikes firmwares rooted already? so no worrys about that
ics wokrs like a charm
flashed it 3 days ago, my batt is at 12% !

Can only agree, even for a novice is not that hard to do at all, just have to follow guide (there are quite few around) to the letter and all goes well.
From what I've read is people who cut corners and miss important steps that often have problems with their phones.
Many thanks to everyone here on Xda for their hard work bringing us goodies!

Ok I just wanted to clear up what seems like some confusion that everyone is having. To flash the ICS and Sense 3.6 OTA file all you have to do to a stock Sensation or stock Sensation XE is to S-off your Sensation first then write Super CID to your Sensation. That is it really, you have to S-off because branded Sensations will only flash ROMs that have the correct security clearance for whatever carrier that the branded Sensation is from. You need Super CID so the OTA file will pass the cid check during the flashing process. You do not have to be rooted as being rooted has nothing to do with being able to flash a ROM.

I have not had a HTC phone in years, Mytouch 3G to be exact. I read the treads before I even think about flashing, and boy did I see a few with bricked phones soft bricked/ hard bricked, and lots that was confused. I'm a good guy and I just hate when somebody destroy something they care about. So, with that said, I hope to put precaution in those who are fast to act and slow to read. Thanks to all of you for sharing your thoughts about ICS, my feelings are likewise

Sorry, but I just had to add, coming from a Google flagship phone/dev phone without any third party security and bloatware, it was a one step thing just root and flash. So, I'm proud to say I felt like a nube coming back to HTC

Hello There!

Hello! In about 6 days, I'll be coming to the Sensation forums from the myTouch 3G Slide forums. I hope you guys and girls can make this experience memorable in a good way, and I hope I can help out and be helped.

The Sensation forums have some awesome people in it. If you have any troubles or questions feel free to send me a PM.

Thanks! I noticed this forum is buzzing with excitement, compared to the myTouch 3G Slide forums.

Which version of HTC Sense should I go with after I S-OFF? I like Sense 4.0, which my brother has on his One S, but Sense 3.6 has also caught my eye.

Sense 4 isnt perfectly functional but unless you use BT alot it doesn't matter.I'd go for S4 personally (Although im on MIUI at the minute as the battery life is far better than any sense variant)

I don't actually have a Bluetooth. I mostly like eye candy. I like aosp, I'm a man of bells and whistles. I like to be able to show my friends the advanced graphics and such.

Thanks! Should I unlock the bootloader or go with S-OFF? I used to have S-OFF on my myTouch 3G Slide, before I made the stupid mistake of updating to the official FroYo, which destroyed my root and S-OFF. Also, will Darktremor work on this device?

When you unlock bootloader you obtain s-off if im not wrong and the best way to do it is whit revolutionary method or htcdev works aswell but if you send your device backin whit htcdev method they will know you have hacked ur phone :/

Most definitely S-off, with S-off you have full read write permissions for all partitions. With HT Dev unlock you only have read write permissions for your System, Boot, and Recovery partitions. Plus you have to flash the boot.img for each ROM you want to use manually via fastboot command or use Smartflash in 4EXT.
Sorry but I do not know about Darktremor.
