[Q] Sensation XE rooted & total memory is 563MB instead of 768MB?

Hi, this is my first android phone (Sensation XE) & I'm new with this rooting the phone thingy. I recently rooted my phone (S-OFF, Install ClockWork Recovery, permanently Root & obtain SuperCID) successfully. But haven't decided on which custom ROM to use.
Then I discovered that the total memory on my device is 563MB instead of 768MB.
Is this normal?

.......atleast do a search. some ram is reserved for system/gpu or something like that. It's normal.

Yeah, but in Task Manager it says 768MB before i rooted it & now it's 563MB. Is that a problem?

Problem
No, it is not a problem, i have the same 562 MB total- the phone Flies in both Insert Coin and Android Revolution HD Roms - just don't get yourself nervous about it, go flash the custom ROMS and Enjoy. It is Typical

OK Thanks.
I notice that you have Android Revolution HD Rom on your device. Which custom ROM works best with my XE? SENSEaY XE35 v2.1.0 or Android_Revolution HD Sensation 4.1.8? Or any other custom rom?

There is no best ROM. use what you like best. I prefer using ARHD.

Try a few different ones, I now use my own ROM which I haven't released as it is purely for myself as I liked leedroid supersensation but a few things about it annoyed me so I nodded it for my personal use and now use that.

Yeah it's cool but I've tried Android Revolution HD - Sensation_4.1.8 & it doesn't support beats audio so I switched to SENSEaY XE35 v2.1.0. But I seem to like ARHD better but....no beats......
Any suggestion to which rom I should try next?

If it helps ya don't forget some thanks
And as far as best ROMs, just try them out see what you like. I personally love ARHD and am running 4.1.8 right now. Was running 3.6 for a while and switched. Other ones are great too, just look for screen shots of ones you like, flash it and enjoy! If you arent happy with one, just backup all your apps use SuperWipe and flash something else

Ok. Thanks. I'll do that.

Ok, i've been trying out different rom lately.
I've tried Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_4.1.8 (not really my type but nice), SENSEaY XE35 v2.1.0, & InsertCoin_Sensation_Android_2.3.5. Before I could try LeeDrOiD-SuperSensational-V4.2.1, I found a perfect rom that I really like - Elegancia_V_1.3!!
It's fully themed & the Beats seems to be better than the other roms I've tried. I like how some of the apps I use are already in there.
I think I'll stick to this one for awhile.

[Q] Recommended Gingerbread Rom

Hey Guys,
what "STABLE" gingerbread rom do u recommended?
I usually play games alot and surf the internet so i need the battery to last long.

ARHD 3.x

Android Revolution Hd is the best...

You can't argue with ARHD, its the most stable.

ARHD too, the most stable Gingerbread ROM.

Thanks guys.
ARHD ftw!

Guys
can u give me the mirror link for arhd 3.6.13?
my download speed is slow if i download from the main link.
Thanks.

I'd recommend Bulletproof. My wife won't let me upgrade her Sensation to ICS because of great battery, no reboots, etc with that Rom.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk

is there a link or website where old gingerbread roms are stored??
Everything is based om ics now and all the old gingerbread links are removed?

insertcoin
i use an old incertcoin rom witch i have , found to be the most stable en battery efficient .
InsertCoin_Sensation_Android_2.3.4_Stable_2_2.5-SE
you also need an incremental rom to instal on top of this
InsertCoin_Sensation_Android_2.3.4_Stable_2_2.5-SSE
i can t locate them on the internet anymore , i have it on my harddisk

In the ARHD thread is still a link to a Gingerbread rom in the first post. (Ver 3.6.13, it`s Android 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0)

Does anyone have a link to download InsertCoin 2.2.5 SE ?

Hi,
ARHD 3.6.13 is HERE

i've been using arhd for a long time now. i think it's the best gb-rom

I would prefer the energy Rom, because it has tweaks (like the leedroid tweaks for ics)

[Q] What's ROM is better for you?

Good evening
I just read the new ViperSs 1.0 ROM and it looks awesome! I have ARHD 6.6.7 with faux kernel and HQ camera MOD, and I want to change to something new, maybe Sense 4.0 based on news HTC's or non-Sense ROM (Cyanogenmod or MIUI).
I like CyanogenMod, but there is no stable version yet.
MIUI has a spanish stable version based on v2.4.27.
ViperSs ROM have only one bug: HDMI out doesn't work, but it isn't a problem for me. ARHD and ViperSs are very similar in features, but ViperSs use bricked kernel. I didn't use it before, but it seems very good.
Is there another ROM with new features? What ROM you recommend me?
Thank you in advance!

I'm downloading ViperSs now at the moment ARHD 6.6.4 and I haven't used any other Rom in my Sensation, so is the moment to try another one

I think so. ARHD is a very stable ROM, but I want something new and I want it now! xD I'm waiting for your first impression of ViperSs =)

It all comes down to your personal
taste. I always liked the sense look and feel. I'm running the new Viper ROM right now and it is really fast.

Obligatory mention of MIUI. Now that certain websites are building for the Sensation from source, AOSP and Sense based, you get some serious performance and some really great software.
But that's only if you want to let go of Sense.

i agree its just to hard to let go of the htc camera and a couple widgets that cannot be matched on any other rom.

i prefer NonSense roms, caus i dont like sense, and rom is much smoother without it...
i like Asop but for me, battery life is not as good as on sense based roms...

just moved to viperss, after using arhd such a long time and i believe sense 4 is a little faster in applications however scrolling is very slow on all sense 4 roms, i tried elegancia, ordroid, insertcoin evolution and at the end viperss all have scrolling problem, maybe not a problem but i got used to scroll fast

Trying out viper now. So far amazing battery life and the viper tweaks are cool!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Thank you to all. I think I'll try ViperSs ROM and if I don't like it, I'll try non-Sense ROM like MIUI.
CM not is a stable ROM, that's true. My girlfriend has CM 7.2 and she has some important bugs...
I'll post my experiences with new ROMs! ;-)
Thank you again!

tray ORDROID 9.0 very stable and sense 4.0. bricked is one of the best kernels I have tested... so i recommend that combination... good luck!

I think you will be happy with viper.i know the battery life seemed better than ordroid . I'm actually quite shocked at how great the battery is on viper. Its always been a issue in the past now its great. Also haven't tried yet but wifi tethering is supposed to work. Only bug reported so far is HDMI output. I'm running now will try out tethering soon.

One question, What wipe I have to use to flash viperS ROM? SuperWipe of ARHD or wipe all data of 4EXT Recovery?
I suppose that the method is:
.- Backup old ROM, apps and SMS/contacts (personal information in general).
.- Reboot into recovery
.- Wipe all.
.- Install from SD card
END =)

The ViperS installer makes a full wipe at the beginning I think...let's see, when I changed from ARHD to ViperS I flashed "ARHD Super Wipe", then wipe all from 4ext, and then flashed the new rom btw I remember that those wipes deleted my games data (like N.O.V.A. or Asphalt downloaded data)...the "Android" folder one.

Advanced Power Menu for ARDH 6.7 need

I was install new ROM Android Revolution HD 6.7.0 by Mike1986 and try to install AdvancedPowerMenu for it but not working.
In 6.6.7 version work perfect. I need have butoon Recovery and HotBoot.
Could anybody have this mod working?

Its because of the new 3.33 base and myself and some others are currently working on porting the Leedroid tweaks 4.3 to the new base, though for me its slow work because I have a lot of more important personal stuff to do at the same time. An update will be posted in the tweaks thread once complete but until then please dont ask for ETA as it gets seriously annoying and I dont even know how long it the rest of it will take myself yet

Hey Johnny!
Thanks for your work
Perhaps it's worth mentioning that whole it's not smooth as using leedroid or advancedpowermenu, one couldbuse 4ext recovery app, which has its own power menu inside with all the requested functionality.
Again, not as a perm solution, by as something that will chill users' eagerness

[Q] Flashing evolution 7.2 over 6.8

Hi,
(sorry just realised I put 6.8 when it should be 6.7)
I have been searching for the answer to my question but haven't found a definative answer, I also checked in the revolution hd 7.2 thread but it's so huge now it's impossible to go through all the threads...
Anyway my question is: can I flash revolution 7.2 over my revolution 6.7 without any other preparation? I don't have to use superwipe or anything? I read in the Revolution thread that I could but then I have read in other threads that it is best to wipe first.
I'd just like to be sure before flashing. I am configured as per the 6.7 (as I did that about 8 months ago) so I just want to update the ROM to 7.2.
I'd appreciate some direction.
Thanks!

Hang on, I'm confused. What do you mean they are different bases? Aren't they the same base...after all it is just a newer version of the same ROM and the firmware is the same 3.33.x?
Can you explain by what you mean about different bases?

Well, looks like i was wrong... i just checked in the ARHD thread, and wiping data is not mandatory but is recommended

For me, super wiping and installing fresh ROM works for me. Most of my apps are on the cloud so I just have to resync. I had too many random issues from not wiping.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to upgrade this weekend.

The upgrade went well! Now there is a new version!!
