Umm .. yeah. Ain't got 10 post's so i've posted here instead of the ROM's thread >_> Here's the thread specifically: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406322
My question shouldn't be already on the forum's since the ROM is new, though i did still check the 5 thread's the forum bot thingy suggested. Got nothing.
Anyway, onto my question / problem. Everything works completely fine (few issues with pics loading but then, everyone has that with the new ROM). My current issue is no matter what option i set my screen time out too. Be it via the general Settings > Display > timeout duration or Via the Power saver > screen time out duration (can't find / think of any other places it can be set) my sensation keep's "timing out" at like 20-30 seconds. Which is starting to get annoying when i place my phone down for a bit then have to keep unlocking (spesh when i use the funky Face- recog feature)
Obviously aimed @ webster1 and those using the ROM along with me, but is there a fix for this? I've yet to see anyone else express this "problem" in the thread, unless im jsut blind lol.
Any help will be appreciated to make this killer ROM that much better
Regard's
Oh and yeah, i'm new here, hai =]
Also forgot, if anyone would be kind enough to link this thread in the above lnik to the ROM's thread so my issue can atleast get looked at.
Don't want to spam 10 post's just so i can post in the DEV section >_>

Ty for the reply, i'll try this tomorrow (going out soon \o/). Can i assume this will also sort out the problem of any music i add to my SD not being reconised in my "norification / Ringtone" screen? I have all the music i had before there when i used factroy ROM, so obviousy can use it. But any new music i add to the SD isnt getting reconised. Even when i use the "add" button in the ringtone screen, which let's you search through your SD and choose files, it still won't add them nor does it appear in my "Music" section when i use the music app.
Also would it be possible for you(or anyone) to link this thread in the one i linked in my OP, that way the dev can see my problem and help me out also.
Again, ty for the reply and any further help =]
I'll be honest, I would just wait for a stable release from HTC. While the ICS roms are great now, they're going to keep having issues like this, or SD card contents not being seen for hours, laggy hardware acceleration, slow app load times, skippy scrolling, etc etc.
It's best to just wait for the time being. I flashed that rom yesterday and had the same issue, along with some of what I listed above, I couldn't find a way to fix it and I tried dalvik/cache wiping, fixing permissions, and reinstalling the rom (twice).

Looks like the RUU has been posted, by RCTeam: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408961
Reading between the lines it looks like it updates HBOOT and Revolutionary can't do its job. Folks were posting about having to use the HTC unlock method.

The scrolling speed and length has been edited by HTC, it has nothing to do with the fact that its an early leak. The scrolling is very likely to stay like that for the official RUU of ICS as well

Can you read the thread properly please. I clearly state that use revolutionary before hand and then running the RUU YOU WILL KEEP S-OFF, but your bootloader with also be locked by HTC, so go to htcdev.com to unlock it in a simple, 5 min procedure

OK, lax on my words, sorry.
I was posting as some one said they wanted to wait until HTC released the ICS RUU. I posted an XDA link that it had. Some people do not want to, nor will ever, use the HTC unlock mechanism.
If it's the same as other threads I've read you lose Fastboot access to the phone which might be a big issue to some. If that info has changed or wrong, I apologise for giving misleading/wrong info.

As I received my brand nu Xe yesterday, I'm now on rooting it to delete unwanted apps.
I'm comming from Leo with Nand roms, where flashing was easier as rooting Android devices to me
Tried different threads, found different unanswerd questions about rooting, Hroot, S-off and stuff but to be honest, I have no clue how to do it with the XE.
I had the MAGDLR on it so flashing was like playing with toys, but now,....can't go on.
The stock rom which is on board on my TMO_DE XE is okay for me, no nned to flash another rom, but all I wanna do is to get rid of all unwanted sys app I never us.
Can anyone give me a helping hand on this?
thx in advance
P
Look on YouTube, theirs loads of videos on how to get s-off and rooting. Being the sensation XE doesn't make it any different from the original sensation just XE processors clock limit is 1.5ghz so follow guides for either

Hi there,
I just went to revolution website and followed the instructions in this topic: -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I had no issues (I didnt super-cid or whatever its called). May I also recommend you look at InsertCoin ROM V3.4.4, it is fast and causes no issues. if you want 2.3.4 Sensation XE ROM, Virtuous v2.2 is great.....I'm stuck deciding which of these two to use as my daily
Good luck
LoL,
I successfully S-Offed my Xe now and downloaded the rom manager.
so, do I still need to run busybox or something?

you don't need busy box. If you are already S off and have clock work installed. You are good to go. Get you a ROM, transfer to sd, enter recovery, and flash away.

CMR says that its NOT rooted, but I did with that revolutionary tool and it also downloaded CMR, but I can't find it
You need to flash a recovery through fastboot, then flash superuser through recovery. (or just flash a new rom) to get root

If you got the custom recovery, and you are rooted, then download an app (this one),that way you can lock those apps that you don't need, so you can save some RAM, and battery.
If you're worried you're doing it wrong you might be
check out the guide in my sig. Very simplified and noobproof.
Thank you guys,

Wrong forum. this is the XL forum. THe XE and XL are completely different phones.
The guide for the Sensation and XE are here:

Best of luck.
that method not working
unfortunately, it is probably best if you ask the question in that forum though, as your question is not about sensation XL (which this forum is for) and the forum that was linked above is for SENSATION and SENSATION XE.
unfortunately in my case HTC Super tool v3 and revolutionary are not working. I am not able to S-off my HTC Sensatio XE (with beats audio) 2.3.4. I dont know what is wrong.
Is it possible that since i have downloaded the update HTC Super tool v3 is not working? also revolutionary is giving error and failed to root. Can you please help
(I am sorry, I miss-seen the question checkbox, I hope a moderator can solve this for me, thanks for understanding!)
Hello,
This is my first topic on xda-developers, so I'm willing to do my outerst best to make this as understandable as possible!
After four search results, I could not really find anything similar with a related answer so I'm making a topic about this.
I got the HTC Sensation XE, Android version: 2.3.4, with HTC Sense 3.0.
Now after rooting it using revolutionary, and enjoying my phone for the weeks after I noted that I got the abillity to do an update.
This update is a 8.97MB performance update, and I would love to install that!
Now here is the issue,
When trying to update, it downloads the update, it shuts down the phone and as soon as it starts installing I get the android boot error.
The phone starts up fine again, but the update is not installed.
I already tried to restore my phone to the state it was BEFORE I rooted it, but that still gave me the same result. I also tried to reset to factory settings, wich also did not work.
Does anyone have a clue where to proceed further?
Thanks in advance,
Tobie
I'm not too sure but when I used to have a Desire I had the exact sane issue, and it's actually down to the CID (Customer I.D)
If you do a few searches you should be able to find out how to get back to a stock CID. You cannot install OTA updates from HTC on rooted and custom Rom phones.
Restore your CID to HTC_0001 (I think) and it should work, can't remember though so Google about.

Hey jaaystott,
Thanks for your quick reply, I tried a tutorial with Android Recovery manager.
it went smooth, and I'll be updating you if the update proceeds!
I am from The Netherlands, I didn't see the update untill I manually checked for it.
Thanks,

It's okay, if the process doesn't work don't panic!
Your update is probably carrier specific then (unless your unbranded) but this update doesn't seem to be appearing in the UK.
Hope you get your phone updating soon!

Hello. I'm semi-bricked so I cannot use android 4.03 roms. They just don't work for me. I loved arhd 5.01 because I thought it would be awful but it isn't. It has epic speech recognition problems though, it just says unfortunately voice search has stopped. It says this for each of the voice needed applications. Does anybody have any other 4.01 roms? Preferably sense but I don't mind
You could try hypernonsense, so smooth, fast and stable.
Is it android 4.01 or gingerbread
Please stop flashing your phone until you know what you are doing. I would think after all of the trouble you had previously after flashing firmware being stuck with s on and your phone being in an unusable state you would have stopped messing with it.
Go back to stock and leave it alone. You are eventually gonna brick it. You need to do a lot of reading so you are not asking for help all day, everyday.

I'm furthermore 'sorry' if i have angered you experienced users but i have not really asked for help with my phone for a while now and i dont intend to. I wasn't posting this to be annoying, I just needed help finding android 4.01 roms and incase anybody else needed them.

Yes I flashed it. I think you should :
1. Flash 3.32 fw
2. Wipe data/ factory reset
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Wipe davlink cache
5.Flash virtuous 4.0.0
6. Reboot
Then if it work you can flash addons, kernels
I am trying to put a custom rom on my fiances T-Mobile HTC Sensation. Do all roms work on all carriers phones? My phone is a Galaxy S3 and I know if I put a rom from another carrier on it I will brick it.
Side question, will a custom rom fix the slow touch screen response from the sensation? She cant even answer calls because it appears to be so unresponsive when waking from lock.
Yes, all ROMs from this forum works on the HTC sensation/sensation 4g/sensation XE no matter what carrier you have. You need to unlock the bootloader first or s-off the device before installing custom ROMs.
Here's info/directions on s-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26280760
I can't remember the link to rooting your device, but there's hundreds of articles on the internet on how to flash roms/root and that good stuff.
After you obtain root, I suggest this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37121632
It's based on android 4.2.2 and it's crazy smooth and responsive. Just make sure you read the link carefully and follow all the instructions.
Never ever flash a ROM for a different phone than what the ROM lists (ie. Don't flash a SGSIII ROM on a sensation. It will probably hard brick the phone)

Hey guys
My brother got the sensation a while ago, so i took it, rooted, and flashed a new rom.
I also think I updated the firmware because its running ICS(used to be 2.3).
Anyway, the phone is very laggy and slow plus when I get a call most time it reboots.
I flashed cyanogen rom (4.2.2) and through the set up it rebooted.
I wiped every thing before I installed CM.
Has any body experienced this before? any ideas?
Thank in advance m8s:good:

I don't think it's a hardware issue. You could try a stock ROM or an RUU to see if the problem is fixed. Try clearing the cache and data from the phone app and see if that fixes it.

Before installing CM10, I cleared the cache and date, rest to factory and wiped dalvik cache. I always flash roms on my oneX and DHD but never experienced this problem.
I noticed something, after booting in CM10 for the first time, the prior venom wallpaper was there which was awkward...
could be this the recovery? Im currently using CWM flashed directly from play store.
PLZ help guys this phone is becoming very annoying, almost every call I receive it will reboot
Hmm...I am running out of ideas. I think you need to somehow re-install the phone.apk, but this is coming from a semi-noob. You might need a pro to help you on this.
One more idea... Did you try putting a piece of cardboard by the battery to keep it in properly (although it's only when you open the phone app)
