I Am new to this phone but i am not new to xda but i have some questions i just rooted the phone and s-off and am ready to try some custom ROMs. But I like to know what are you favorite ROMs and kernels and why??? What other things should i know about this phone that maybe i dont know, any tips or trick i will read thru all the threads but i want to know your opinion too, I also wanted to introduce myself to you guys i love xda and am looking forward to getting to know this phones comunity
EDIT
Also so i have 4g now but when my phone cant get a 4g connection then it goes right to 2g???? what happened to the 3g???

try arhd 3.6.11 or 6.0.2
the reason it has full htc sense and its is more better than stock buecasue of the setting thats has been implemented like cpu and gpu overclock and more.v
beside thats my opinion but i know more people will tell you try different but its up to you to try and see which one you like the best. beside i think any of the roms that rae sesne based i love them because thats the only reason i bought htc sensation if i wanted asop i would have gone with galaxy s 2 and yeah beside this is what i think

[Q] ICS Roms -- XE and Non-XE -- Difference?

Regarding ICS Roms, particularly InsertCoin and ARHD, does it make a difference if you flash the XE or the Non-XE versions?
Can I flash the XE Version onto my T-Mo Sensation 4g? I am assuming that I could do that and not run into a whole lot of major problems, but I am curious what the actual difference is between the two.
It could just be changing the "identity" of the phone itself? Like when you use the market and what not?
Thanks in advance for any info on the subject.
(for the record, I went ahead and flashed the Non-XE version anyways just in case)

XE had beats
Non XE had SRS
That's it ^^

So then essentially I can just flash either one, as long as it matches the firmware I flash?
Sounds good to me lol

Hardware difference
So to clarify, is 'beats' hardware or software? I thought I read that on XE versions, normal headphones wouldn't work, that you needed special 'beats' headphones. This lead me to believe that there was a hardware difference, but its just a guess.

No, I don't think there is any hardware difference i.e. the Beats feature is purely software.

Sensation XE

So I didn't see a section for this phone and I wonder if it's the same as XL or just the regular sensation?
My friend has it and I'm looking for a nice yet stable rom to use , what would you advice me to?

Its the same as a normal Sensation, well as goo as dam it.
All the roms on hear will work with it.
Its a case of picking your faviout

[Q] Sensation XE rooting problems?

Hi all! My first post in xda developers forums.
Anyway, I'd like to ask about rooting regarding the Sensation XE. I've seen the tutorials on the forums as well as other sites, and most of them seem to say that rooting on XE is very similar to rooting the normal sensation since both of them have the same software. (with XE just having bigger battery, beats audio etc.)
However, some of my friends are saying that rooting an XE the sensation way gives the phone some problems. For example, he stated that certain functions such as bluetooth, 3G and/or hardware control would be missing, and I would have to choose a custom ROM. (which I don't want to do at this stage)
So, given that many of you here have messages sent from a sensation XE, I'd like to know how true my friend is. Can the XE be rooted the sensation way? Or if not, how else could it be done?
Many thanks in advance! ;D

I honestly think that while youre at rooting why not s-off and and get supercid , cwm and so on whit a custom rom so you will have everything working its quite scary at first but it should be fine ...

First, on a slightly unrelated note, you'll probably find that quite a few messages that are signed from HTC Sensation XEs on this forum are actually people on regular HTC Sensations running Android Revolution HD, which effectively makes the phone think it is a Sensation XE. Which is pretty much the truth. The hardware is absolutely identical, minus the battery.
Anyway, back to your question; rooting the Sensation XE, as far as I know, is identical to rooting the Sensation. The only things that differ are the version codes and model numbers. ROMs in the Development Forum work completely interchangeably between the two models.
Go to the development forum, find the reference post on everything regarding superCID, rooting and gaining S-OFF, and follow every step as close as possible, and you will be fine. Pretty much guaranteed.
And head back here if you get stuck at any point.

HTC has gone crazy

HTC has really gone nuts; they won't give us JellyBean and they encrypted the JellyBean RUU of other portable devices like one S, just to make sure we do not get jellybean on our sensation.
Is there a forum where sensation owners can bombard them with 'dislike' maybe they will change their stupid minds. They want to start behaving like apple even though we are android users.

They won't give us Jellybean - Well thats pretty much to be expected. HTC's method operation seems to be that the phone ships with the current version of Android, and it'll get an update to the next version. After that you're on your own! The only device I can think of that breaks this rule is the Desire, and that Gingerbread update was only via an RUU...

Another thread about JellyBean and HTC are crap? I reckon this is getting locked, there are several already.

Agreed, it's not hard to find those threads anyway, generally they sit right around the top of the Sensation General forum
I can't help thinking though, the amount of time and effort that folks are putting into (fairly ineffectively) trying to convince HTC to release JB for the Sensation is time and effort just as easily spent getting a custom JB ROM up and running for themselves
The issue is not that JB is unavailable for the Sensation guys, it's that you just don't have access to a bloated, branded, messy OTA from your respective carrier :silly:
