kmobs was sent a S-OFF device by T-Mobile and he is starting work on CM. He has never really straight said that but I have talked to him and inferred what he was saying

Lucky guy. Also happy to see T-Mobile actively supports the development community which leads me to believe that they won't block the S-OFF roll out from HTC.

Dunno. Coming from my n1 running cm7 I don't miss it. Apps like feedr go poof, weak camera, poor corporate network support. All things that just work on the sensation stock rom. With the exception of nandroid there's not
A thing I need root for. On the n1 I needed it to work around all the limitations of the various roms out there, not the case with the sensation.

[Q] Sensation or Nexus S?

Might have a chance to buy one or the other for about the same price.. now that theres ICS for nexus, seems like it might just be great, but Sensation is better hardware-wise and with CM7.1, it seems like Sensation may just be awesome..
so any opinion is welcome
Posted this on Nexus S forum as well
Thanks!
oh and i currently have a Vibrant so either of them is an upgrade

You should go with the Sensation. Hardware-wise, it's leaps and bounds ahead of the Nexus S, and ICS is coming as early as January (You'd figure as much if some carriers are going to push it out in February). CM9 or Sense 4.0 with the Sensation - both equally as exciting. That's just me though.

Hmm it seems ill be happy either way

#GS has AMOLED(WVGA) vs SLCD(qHD) in a time of HD displays....
#Sensation has more RAM(should help in ICS & higher versions)
#Humming vs S3(Power VR is on par w/ 220 when OC'd & the dual core is much faster on ICS)
#Design(Contour is nice for phone calls)
#Resale vale(GS would be worth less next year if you sell it then)
#DualGPS(Only in S3 chips, so you will have fast GPS!)
#GS is related to GN in a way, allows GN roms to work on it!

In cause you were unsure
GN: G Nexus; GS:meant Nexus S, my bad
S3:Soc/Chip in HTC phones; Hummingbird:1GHz Single used in Sammies
220: Adreno 220, it should have similar speed to the GPU in Galaxy Nexus

I'm also an AOSP guy but I'm using Sense right now cause the AOSP camera blows. I'm really hoping Sense 4.0 is a major update/upgrade. It'd be cool if it was a ground-up rewrite, as well as changing the color scheme to match ICS. A gray/white/black/blue sense would be cool.

HTC sense is great so I would go for sensation. Just bought mine about two weeks ago and I had made my decision fast.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

I have no technical advice but I personally think the sensation feels better in my hands. And Sense really makes AOS very clean looking. Just my opinion...

I would go with the sensation because its dual core and cm9 should be coming to it shortly and official Android 4.0 as well coming Jan.

You know what worries me about sense and other ui layerings?? Its that they can slow down the phone and being that my ultimate goal is performance, i just cant have that.. if cm9 will come to sensation in dec or jan or at worse feb, ill take sensation

i had a nexus s before and now sensation...one thing about the question, it's like asking if you will buy a pentium 4 computer or a core2duo computer with higher ram...well nexus s imo is a decent equipment but the same as Galaxy S with NFC chip...Nexus S is comparable to Desire HD but DHD is still faster and smoother even with sense...Sensation itself with stock rom is not that fast...BUT come ICS it's gonna be a different story....

[Q] Should I get a Desire S?

I broke my Desire Z recently and I am thinking of getting a used phone for around 250 SGD, the HTC desire s caught my eye, I love my old desire z, but the low ram keeps bothering me, Since the desire s is just a desire z without the keyboard and has more ram, I'm thinking of getting it. I am now deciding between the desire HD and the desire s, I like the desire s screen better since it is slcd. But I've heard that the desire s has emmc chip problems, is it very common?

eMMC chip problems are far from common, and are present in the same quantity around all the HTC line based on MSM8x55 and having 2GB of internal memory - which covers DHD, MT4G, DS, and of course your previous DZ/G2, which has exactly the same eMMCs.
If you can get it cheap - it's a great phone.

Is this phone getting official ics?
How smooth is the phone when running a custom rom like affinity? Is it as smooth as the real sensation xl? Cuz they have the same hardware, just that sensation xl clocks a little higher

I personally dont recommend it. Its nothing I can complain about the phone. Its fast like hell, Im proud of owning it, seriously. I recommended it when ppl asked me about a phone. But seeing what is about to come, if I were you I would wait a bit, raise some money so I could affront the endless quantity I would to spend in the HTC One X.
But I repeat: Its my point of view (In fact, is what Im going to do), the rest is up to you

I agree with Rostwildch here, as much as I love my Desire S you have the One X and the One S coming soon, the last one a little more cheap.
Performance wise they'll be above the Desire S a bit.
Good shopping!

I agree with everyone too.
The Desire S is a fantastic phone. But in my opinion, its more or less the same as the Z, not much of an upgrade.
If you can wait, get the One series.. they will be epic!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

But I have no money for a new phone, I'm getting a used desire s

It's something you have to decide for yourself, like olyloh6696 said it's not that much of an upgrade.
Even if you're not buying it new it might be quite some money being spent.. personally I'd wait, but that's my view on things. You have to have yours.

Yes, it is. HTC posted it on their Facebook-Site.
About the ROM: I normaly run CM7 Nighlies und since yesterday CM9 Alpha on ICS.
without any problems.
If I compare CM7 to the Original ROM it is much better and smoother than sense.

"A little" is by factor of 1.5 - not "little" by any standard. Sensation XL also has CPU with 2 cores, and of a little better kind. Calling Desire S "the same hardware" is far from truth - Sensation XL is ~2.5 times more powerful.

Sorry, but you're wrong. The sensation XL has the same CPU as the Desire S but it it factory clocked to 1.5GHz. It is essentially the same phone, which is why we have many ROMs, such as Endymion, based on the Sensation XL.

Yes, indeed confused with Sensation XE. Sorry.

I can just OC it to 1.5 ghz and the desire s will be same phone as Sensation xl. How much free ram is there when running sense 3.5 roms?

desire s
desire s is good choice for me.....
its ram is even more than htc V one......

Yes, Desire S is supposed to get official ICS, but with Sense 3.6, not 4.
Not even 4 lite, like in the Primo S ROMs...

The Desire S works great for me especialy if you apply the MIUI rom

What's the sensation xl getting? Sense 3.6 or 4.0? Cuz if its 4.0, the devs can grab the sensation xl based rom and port it over to this device and it should run smoothly

Sensation and XE already got a sense 3.6 with android 4.0.3.Sense 4.0 might be ported later, if HTC decide to port it.

Hey everyone tomorrow morning I'm getting my sensation and can't be more excited.

Any suggestions on some good starter Roms?

awesome bro i remember seeing you in those forums I too switched
as for roms depends whether you want sense or not

MIUI is perfect AT this moment. based on the HTC ICS Base so you get both the camera and everything else working.
Official HTC Rom like ARHD, coredroid etc - Stable and fast rom with Sense 3.6(personally dislike Sense but you can install a mod to make it just like stock android, look under themes and apps)
CM9 - video camera doesnt work so well, bluetooth no go,
sense 4 - camera not so much with no autofocus, but almost good enough
I suggest - ICS stock rom with HTC base. like hypernonsense

I came from mt4g and found the sensation easier to root. I am running coredroid on the mt4g and on my sensation. The mt4g is for my son, he bought one off a kid at school for $20, because the kid didn't like the battery life. I am real happy with coredroid on both phones. Just make sure to go through a few battery cycles before judging any of the roms, most will break in and give great battery life in a few days, at least in my experience.

+1 for ARHD - its the most stable, the most fastest and the support is amazing.... (IMO)
I highly recommend trying it out. Throw in Sebastians kernel and having a Full day AND a half battery wont be a rarity any more.
there are a lot of guides on how to flash it, Its the most popular ROM, The guides are fairly simple, and if you dont like it, flash to something else

Totally agree
Have no plans on changing my Sensation this year, as it does everything i need.
All these 2012 Smartphones don't really offer anything that makes me want to change.

Had mine for 3 months now and looks like I made the right decision absolutely love it look forward to many more months of awesomeness from this phone

A very nice posting from my brick

Love the phone! Had a iPhone a few weeks when my sensation was on service (dust inside the display, got a brand new display for free )
After using a laggy iphone, I realized how much i love the sensation.
It's a sensation... Easy as that.

Same here. My Sensation is 6 1/2 months old, it has no scratches and still looks and feels like on the first day. It's an awesome phone, but the ability to run CM9 makes it still more awesome

I am also running CM9 and got it clocked at 1ghz and hahaha even at this speed is super smooth.
I am really glad that we got CM9, it would be hard to get a phone that doesn't get CM9 support to be honest because these companies overlays are full of bloatware and drain battery super quickly.
The real problem with HTC phones is Sense. I got to have it at like 1.7 to be smooth but then the battery sucks really bad. Then if I clock down to about 1.2 which is when I notice a battery difference, it's all choppy and stuttery.
Just yesterday I played with an HTC One S and I don't really envy anything about it.
And I too feel the same way as a previous poster and that is that I don't feel the need to upgrade.
CM9 + Sensation= Fast, Smooth, Great battery life.

Go to the Android development section, the thread is called Open Sensation. Should be on either the first or second page.
Your phone needs to be rooted and S-OFF, and you need to have the ICS firmware. Flash through recovery after complete wipe, and enjoy.
