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?

Exactly, someone has to be the first. The RUU is available so going back to stock isn't an issue either
Well, as it happens, everyone wants working end result but no one is willing to contribute to it. Meh

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 ?

The desire s is a pretty new device, it was shipped with Android 2.3.3.
If you got an older Android version it can't be a desire s.
But to be sure is there a button at the bottom of the screen or are there only softkeys?
Or just go to settings -> about phone -> hardware.
Somewhere there should be the model.

short answer: No
Long answer: No, it has to be ported to it. there are similarities but that's it. Direct flashing of a sensation rom on your inspire is just a fail to boot. Needs a different kernel for it.
Ports are available for it. Try the energy 3.5 sense based ROMS. they are sensation xl ports!
Sorry guys i need to be sure:
that all ROMs tested on the standard HTC Sensation model will work on the "XL" model too.
Can anyone confirm that please?
They won't work
No, the Sensation XL and the normal Sensation are completely different devices. ROMs for the Sensation XE however are compatible with the normal Sensation (and the other way around).
Nope. XL ROM's are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1344
Thank you all for the prompt response!

Hi Everyone! I really need to ask this, it might be redundant but I tried to search for it but I failed big time. I'm really New at this device HTC Sensation 4G what I want to know is if I can use any HTC Sensation Specific Official Firmware or Custom ROM in this device. For example MIUIv4 or CM9 has an update for HTC Pyramid (Sensation) can I flash this w/out the risk of toasting/bricking my Device. Just like I flashed the wrong thing on my Device? Is it safe to assume that this ROM are universally compatible to all Sensation Series?
Sorry for asking too much, I just want to be sure.
