[Q] Sensation XE Stock ROM for Sensation?

Hey guys,
I have been locking for a stock ROM of the Sensation XE but all I found where custom ROMS based on the XE.
Are there any working stock Sensation XE ROMs? Couldn't find anything with the search function.

1. S-OFF
2. Super CID
3. Flash the XE RUU
You now have a 100% stock XE, albeit with 1.2GHz rather than 1.5GHz

The Sensation and the Sensation do have the same hardware except for the battery right?
Is it possible to clock the Sensation to 1,5GhZ?

Yep, but you need a custom kernel for it

Is there a ROM which is basically stock but has a custom kernel clocked to 1,5 GhZ?
Kind of turning the Sensation into a Sensation XE?

Yep, InsertCoin or Android Revolution HD (not the Sense 3.5 versions)
OR, my stock XE ROM + the recommended kernel

flash EddyOS stock xe Rom then just flash a different kernel over it. You cannot I don't think have pure stock and custom kernel.

Hi guys,
first of all: i am using currently Android Revolution HD 4.1.9 on my HTC Sensation.
but, i am tired of flashing custom roms and looking for the "best" rom.
Now, i guess i want backt to Stock Rom. With flashing Eddies Rom is it possible to receive OTA's in the future (because of coming ICS).
Thx for short reply...

Look the thing is, as soon as any hint of ICS ROM test or official gets leaked, I guarantee that within 2 days there will be custom ROM's so best stick to non stock for now.
To answer your question, no I don't think it possible to receive OTA updates on EddyOS

Yes, with a rooted phone you can install custom a Kernel or Rom.
Download and install ROMmanager. This will allow you to install Clockworkrecovery. Once that is installed you can download your choice of Kernel - I can personally recommend Bricked or Faux kernels - found elsewhere here on xda. Save the downloaded file to your sd card and select the Install ROM from SD card option in ROM manager.
NOTE: Before you install this, make a NAND backup - you will get prompted by Rom manager - this will allow you to restore back to your current position if you experience any problems or are unhappy with the update.

well Best rule of thumb i guess would be to flash the latest version. you can see my signature for what im using. im on tmobile sensation as well.
But honestly roms are like getting a new car. find the one thats best for your a** on a long drive. so no one can really tell you which one is best for you. just give it a go.

I am on the latest version of ARHD on the bone stock TMO radio and I am loving it.
I have never flashed a different radio with any ROM Ive used, and have never needed to.

Does the signal got better when u use the latest arhd? I'm still on stock Rom but already s off and rooted but signal is not that great.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

I've tried at least the last 10 versions of ARHD downclocked to 1.2, and the latest is the best. Both had the previous radio and the recommended, both worked fine for me, signal, voice quality, up/download speed are almost the same.
ARHD consumes very little power when screen off, but relatively more (compared to stock roms) when awake and using cpu/gpu intensive applications. For office use, you can get two days of battery life with no additional tricks (push exchange + HSDPA on)
Stability: almost zero fc-s, no lags, feels like a well optimized factory rom
From Sense roms, this is the best you can get.

All members are here to answer you, but you should start off by learning the basics from the noobproof guides or searching them, because someone probably answered your questions.

I am fairly new to all this too, so far I have tried Leedroid, insertcoin and all the latest revolution roms. By far the most stable and smoothest for me is the latest 4.1.3, very pleased indeed with it.

Hi,
Changing ROMS has no affect on the radio.
There is no need to change the radio to an earlier version,unless you are having serious problems with the one you have installed.

Thanks, it just said that you should use a matched radio and I'm not sure what that meant.
As far a problems before changing the radio, the radio is for 3g-4g connection, cell service or both?

Android Revolution HD 6.X.X were really great to me!, so 6.1.0 would be amazing.
This rom would be a great choice!.

Hello,
now I have ARHD 3.6.9 on my HTC Sensation, I would like to know if I wanna install ARHD 6.1.0 / firmware 3.24, I'll be able to install later ARHD 3.6.13 on new 3.24 firmware??
Thank you in advice !!!

If you do this you will probably get bootloops.
As far as I know, you would have to flash an older firmware, because the new one is only compatible with roms built for it (ARHD 6.1 for example).

3.12 is for the first lot of ICS roms, such as ARHD 6.0.X, IC etc.. 3.24 is for ARHD 6.1.X. For gingerbread roms and to get advanced fastboot commands you need 1.17 firmware.

so it is possible to make downgrade of firmware to be able to install/run ARHD 3.6.13 ??

Yes it is possible. Just flash the firmware you want.

No the 3.24 firmware only works with the latest release. If you try gingerbread with the 3.24 firmware you will boot loop.

Depends on what you like best:
CyanogenMod - I would recommend OpenSensation or the latest CM nightly
Sense 3.6 - SmartDroid sense 3.6 ROM, my sense 3.6 ROM (DarkForest Sensation)
Stripped Sense 3.6 ROM - HyperSensation
Sense 4.0 - Team Venom ViperS, SmartDroid Daemon, InsertCoin Evolution 2.20, my sense 4 ROM (DarkForest Sense 4)
Sense/AOSP hybrid - SmartDroid Beserk
In short there's loads of ROM's for all different people and the only way you'll find out which one you like best is to flash a few different ones then decide which one to stick with
Have fun!

just rooted and S-off, wich ROM.... ?

I just rooted my Sensation XE and got it S-off. :victory:
Installed Rom Manager and Titanium backup (backed-up everything).
Now i don't know wich Rom i would use....there are so many...
I want it to be stable, i use Go Launcher instead of Sense because Sense had the ennoying problem it was closing to free memory when i was using a load of memory. In Go Launcher i can select it to remain always open.
I would like a stable ROM wich keeps camera, bluetooth etc....all working without problems.
In addition of this question i would like to know if i can just remove Sense true titanium backup from my phone without problems? (on stock rom or other ROM ? )
I hope i put this thread in the right section 'cos i'm not used to using this forum yet
Thanks in advance for every reply :good:

You should seriously try Virtuous Inquisition very fast and stable. It's running Android ICS. But I don't know if you installed the required firmware. If not, do so.
Oh, and it's an AOSP Rom and it's senseless. Everything works fine.

Were can i find that rom and info about the requierd firmware ?

You can find the required firmware specs on the developers site of each Rom. I highly suggest trying out SEVERAL roms and see which one fits you the best.

In my opinion Android Revolution HD us the best rom I tryed, Mike does not use portings to ensure maximum stability and speeds... It comes with sense 3.6 bit on the thread he provides a script to completely remove HTC Sense...
It has a completely stock look... It's just optimized and updated.

What are you all retarded ?!?!?!? You gotta go aosp!!!! CM9 is the best choice only retards and crackheads like sense overlay (all offense) lol

I must say that on factory ROM i was using Go Launcher because Sense got closed sometimes when I was using many RAM. Reloading Sense always took a bit of time wich I found annoying. The downside of using go launcher was the loss of the HTC widgets... Go contacts wasn't so good in my opinion. In my current ROM Sense didn't close once so for me it's perfect. It looks very beautiful and it's faster than ever before.
