Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone knew of any ROM development taking place for the HTC Sensation XL?
Whilst an official ICS update has been confirmed by HTC for this device, it'd be awesome to see CM/MIUI/AOSP some time in the near future.
If anyone could shed any light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Jim
EDIT: I think this should be in "Android General". Apologies to the mod if it is in the wrong forum.

Hello all,
I'm currently using the samsung vibrant and I'm about to pick up a new phone tomorrow. I know everything there is to know about the vibrant aside from JTAG operations. the phone has been outstanding and reliable from the beginning to end. I post this because I wonder what you guys feel about your sensation... always was an HTC fan but if I were to get the Galaxy S 4g then I would be right at home. They are very hard to actually brick and that is what I love most. So how's the sensation?? you guys get alot of bricks on this device? I've been doing some research and this phone looks amazing with some of the custom roms and themes I've seen so far. I really want to get it because of its highly updated processor. But how dangerous is it to flash custom roms and what not?
I appreciate your input
I switched from a captivate I know exactly what your saying but it looks alot more complicated then it is if you follow the instructions and guides properly you will be ok. Overall I love this phone its amazing and great support on here for it

yeah sad to say.... the vibrant is dying.... at least that is what it seems like. Cant seem to get a solid gingerbread rom going although they are getting close. I read some lines from a rom thread that shows how to turn your sensation into the XE version... is that what you did? or is there really a better version out there? lol I have no idea
Yea I did that the developers name is Mike and he is sick. His rom android revolution is unreal

I switched from the g2x and the sensation is very easy to root if you follow the guide exactly. It is also the best phone available in my opinion.

Well if the choice is between the Galaxy S4 and the Sensation... that's easy. Sensation! Not even close.
If you are a huge Sammy fan you might want to delay and compare the Hercules with the Sensation.
Decision was made, you guys were right, this phone is a beast. Within 2 days I already flashed ARHD 3.6.0 and I'm very impressed. Thanks to all

Not to be rude but just pushing thanks is likely good enough... No need to start a thread :/

Yeah. It's nice to see your appreciation but I've opened a thread like this and it for closed and I was told to use the thanks button instead. I've seen it happen to several threads like this.
Also even if you had enough posts you definitely shoupdnt have posted this in the dev section.

Will HTC Sensation XE get official Jellybean support from HTC?
If it will, can someone please provide a source ? Has HTC confirmed Sensation XE support?
and if yes to jellybean
will it be sense 3.6 or 4.0?
nope
I think yes.
The official german htc Facebook Page told, that it will come!
I dont know, wich Sense but they said, it will Come

Until we see an official statement, announced by HTC all these facebook and other site sources are just speculations and rumors. Jelly bean will come along with the new HTC One X+ and will also be received by the ONE X and ONE S first. After these devices are updated HTC might decide to do something with previous phones as well.

I doubt that page is an official HTC page, it says in the article that the link was posted that it wasnt an official statement.
I think no, mainly because Football says we wont and also because of some other reasons that I posted in the sticky thread in Sensation General.
It ever our phones will not have official jellybean. I might be thinking of rooting it after my warranty expires

Hopefully but not likely
i don't believe that there will be official support, but i found that some htc one s have snapdragon s3 processor (the same of htc sensation), so, when it will be updated to JB, probabliy there will be some kind of porting to our device
This is BS. I'm really struggling to think of a single good reason to stick with HTC when it's time to refresh my phone and this is a big reason why. Support for the XE was dropped hard after only a matter of months. Samsung's stellar market share rise is in part due to their much better support.
How can we trust HTC any more knowing if we buy another HTC phone, support will be dropped after 6 months and even that's pushing it? I bought my XE back in February this year when it was still a 'flagship' phone so I fell pretty cheated by HTC right now.
My wife currently has a HTC Desire Z (keyboard) and I'm moving her on to Samsung now, my experience with the XE being a big part of the reason why.
Not happy HTC! Why don't you just release a FEW phones and SUPPORT them rather than a gazillion un-supported phones of every possible variation? Didn't Nokia try that strategy? And look where it landed them, they are not even on the charts any more!
Well... I wrote to the support and they said: maybe, but for sure there won't be official Sense 4.x on sensation.
Sorry to say it's extremely doubtful, highly unlikely, that we will ever get official jelly bean. HTC had forgotten about the sensation. To them it's to old. They will just say our device can't support jelly bean or some B.S. like that. My guess is NO. NEVER. even though we're not yet two years old we are forgotten. I'm running a great jelly bean Rom right now thanks to our wonderful developers! Don't know what I'd do with out them!

Htc says on his official site that they will try to make it available for our phones and if they do they will bring with it 4.x sense. I hope so :fingerscrossed:

I seriously doubt it at this point. HTC have left the device behind and im just waiting for my warranty to expire before putting some JB roms on it.
in the philippines htc official facebook page. the htc is saying that they are currently working on a jellybean update for sensation. hoping its real
No there no way the sensation will get J.b.

I don't think so because the 4g version won't be getting it anytime soon so. I don't think the XE will

If HTC drop support for what was a flagship device this quickly, I will never buy HTC again... Samsung all the way from now on!! I hope HTC pull their finger out and re-consider their policy of dropping support after six months, for the sake of their own survival.
Lame... Samsung all the way when I get a new phone... way to lose loyal customers you idiots..
Finally yes
I got a confirmation from the HTC India support that Sensation Xe will get a Update Possibly 4.2.2 but as usual they don't know the date
but here is the mail that I got from them
" Thank you for contacting HTC support.
As per your email, we understand that you want to know when the 4.2.2 upgrade will be available in India for the HTC Sensation XE handset.
We understand how important it is for you to have your phone upgraded to the latest available operating system in the market.
Since the phones manufactured by HTC are country-specific, so are the updates released for them. That is why an update available in one country might not be immediately available in another one.
We are currently working on the 4.2.2 upgrade, and it is slated to be released soon.
When this happens, you will receive a notification on your phone (if it is connected to the internet). "
Hey
i just found a HTC Sensation XL for cheap
And my question is can i use htc sensation roms on it?
Sent from my beautifull HTC ONE M7 oh no my bad sent from my HTC Wildfire :-/
Nope, that'll brick it.
Stick to XL AD roms, if you force it in, worse to worst would be a hardbrick.
there's a section exclusive for HTC Sensation XL. That alone should answer your question I'd say find a shiny XL rom over there
