Hi guys, (possibly) noob question here, but I'm planning to get a HTC Sensation XE when it come out here.
I realize everything about the headset (other than looks and packaging) are the same as the original Sensation. The chipset are the same except clocked higher (which is probably on a software level from what I understand).
Therefore, when it comes to flashing ROMs, can I flash Sensation roms found in this forum into the Sensation XE without screwing it up?

That's not the question that was asked, and it's the same one I'm wondering. Can we (Sensation XE) users flash the ROMS from this section (Sensation ROMS) onto our phones?
There are plenty of topics around discussing whether the Sensation and the XE are identical hardware wise, but nobody has give a definitive "yes" answer yet.
Why don't you try and then report back? I'm pretty sure it will work.

I'd rather get an expert's advice than try it myself and risk screwing up the phone, I also want to keep it under warranty for now in case I have any hardware problems within the first few weeks of purchase.
I'm also interested in the answer

do be honest i dont see it being a problem since when you look at the device it has the same, hardware only differences it is the overclocked chip which i do believe could be hardware, since the software has nothing to do with it. Personally when i had other devices in the pass i have always cross software with the same make and different models and they still work. If you are in still doubt just wait for a while but right now, alot of people are just using the non xe edtion and make it a XE, person i benchmark mine via the Manufacture version and there is no differents in performance...person i say it is a gimmick. Also the headphones are not that anyway, all the headphone dont is just justify the price increase....
Answer to thread starter, No not possible. Both the Sensation and Sensation XE are two different ROM. Even a simple Battery mod for the Sensation would not work on the XE and vice versa. So I don't think it would be possible to flash a Sensation Based ROM.
However RoMS for the Sensation which are based on XE can be given a shot, and let all of us know of the out come
Okay, but before I install any custom rom, i'd have to install cwm first right? Is the steps to do so the same as an ordinary sensation?
Guys, s-off your XE, install cwm, backup, install any sensation rom, if it doesn't work restore nandroid. What's difficult about that?

Does the stock kernel run at 1.5GHz with custom ROMs?
I wonder if it sets frequency from CID....
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
CID is the same as other phones, e.g. unbranded is HTC__001
I'm running the Revolution HD XE Rom from Mike on my Sensation XE, works very well;-)
what about autonomy with custom rom like mike or virtuous ?
i m planning to buy one but which one have the best battery/autonmy, xe or original ?
im on ARHD 3.6.2 ,
after couple of minutes of playing games but phone is super hot i mean i cant even touch the bottom part of the phone (where the home button etc is at)
anyway i know there are some solutions or think there are solutions ,
i would like to know which one you think is the best?
solutions that i think will help:
1. run the patch to down clock to 1.2 - in mike's first post
2. run the thermal patch on faux kernel's thread
3. change my kernel to bricked kernel
also i got anker battery if its important.
if you have other suggestions it will be really good to hear them out.
I ran the thermal patch and it has worked pretty well for me. I haven't had my phone get as hot as you were describing earlier however, it was uncomfortable to hold even through my case.

you guys might want to download faux clock apk to help with the manual set up of the kernel specs.
just a suggestion. always helps to know exactly what your working with and be in control. its a little more detailed than say oc daemon.
side note: remember to try and uninstall if you have issues in the future trying to flash new kernels.
i will give a try to the thermal patch..
but i dont holds to much hope for it to work...
unless it some miracle patch
my phone getting really hot.. its really weird what is the reason
Would this patch work on the stock kernel?

What setup do you have? Currently I'm running Android Revolution HD 4.1.3 with faux kernel 0.2.2 beta 2 and I am getting no heat problems like I was when I was running 0.2.1 final. I also have amaze camera, modified bootanimations, EQS, APM, custom battery icon, and the 4G symbols added on. Only thing I did was switch my kernel. The patch helped with the 0.2.1 final faux kernel some but not as much as I would have liked so I switched kernels. I would recommend giving this kernel a try. Link below

No need to cool it down.
If it gets that hot, there is a problem with either sw or hw, it's not normal. So instead of healing symptoms you should look for a cause.
i cant think of any cause,
as my phone worked great before i rooted it and installed ARHD
after i got mike's Rom each time (no matter which version) i ran a game (most likely angry birds) for more then 10 min the phone start to get really really hot.
so.. any ideas? its must be a rom issue which need to be fixed but i got no clue what to do next

Mike's ROM over clocks the CPU and that can result in generating a lot of excess heat. Use the Daemon to put the CPU back to the wake max setting of 1188000.

Hi,
The original Sensation and the XE are exactly the same phone ,bar some pretty external cover.
So, anything you see in the "Sensation" forums is good enough for your phone.
Almost the same, different size of internal memory I think.

Hi devz, i got an idea about the usb storage-
If the kernel supports it, then maybe by using a market app- host mode for xperia arc, we can have access to thumb drives !!
Please someone try and maybe it will work...
When i had an xperia neo, an XDAuser -Doomlord posted some modules in xperia arc dev thread and they also worked for neo--what about trying those !!
And
I am sorry for not following Dev section rules...i had to do this to give my idea to all the devs as i didn't had much time to PM every single dev here

I was thinking about asking this same thing, but then I figured we'll have it once ICS arrives. Or I'm wrong?
I don't think it's going to be in ice ics but pproper version of ics won't be out for a while and since I'm gonna sick with 2.3.4 gingerbread I think its better if the mod is created for us by our developers.
But I'm hoping that ics support for USB otg is true

I dint feel the same coz ICS wil have only those things supported by Galaxy nexus and i dont suppose that galaxy nexus has Otg enabled..Does it !!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G Z710e using XDA App
Samsungs already had otg for a while. SGS and SGS2 have it, without custom roms.
Since ICS is made for tablets I figured it will have otg by default... I might be wrong though...
don't think it will.
all the other htc's where the devs enabled usb otg/host you had to power your usb peripherals with a self powered hub.
also i don't think there are that many devs for the sensation that will/can fix this.
here are some devs that know something about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993152
http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/
and cotulla for the HTC HD2 on windows mobile and ubuntu
I doubt the hardware can't pull it off. At worst we'll need a custom kernel that supports otg. Which is what we need now
It's apparently working on Desire S, with CM7 and tiamat kernel. I'll test this once I get a host cable.

This COULD be helpful but..... the Endeavor is based on a tegra chipset so i don't think that when they port the rom over OTG will work.
IDK if this is related but i was pouring over dmesg in the terminal and i found [3178.161468][USB] OTG PM resume and [3178.1152893][USB] OTG PM suspend. USB OTG caught my eye but I am no developer so i might be nothing.
