hi guys,
Im new to sensation XE and I have few questions about it.
first of all, its not my mobile its my girlfriends so i dont really have access to it 24/7 as i would like to it runs 2.3.4 sens 3.0
ive been reading through the process of rooting and different roms just to have everything clear before i start to mess about with it lol
right so.... which rom would you recommend ( very stable as she s a girl and fast cos she s a geek too ) ?
is there any other difference between sens 3 and 3.5 apart from panorama mode??
and finally, is it possible to undervolt it in the CWM or just through the setvsel ??
one more thinng i forgot about .....is swype available on sensation? i ve seen trace thing on her phone but couldnt really get it working ( only 2 mins of trying as she had to go to work )
thanks a lot for help
regards,
There are many stable Roms... Sense 3.5 is minor improvement in ui from 3.0... I like 3.5 more
there are several stable ROMs... I like insertcoin and stock by Eddy the most though most have proven to be very good and stable...
To underclock you have to flash custom kernels...like faux and bricked kernel...
Faux kernel comes built-in ARHD ROM... Many others have custom roms... RCmix and elegancia Roms are awesome too.. Not to forget the ARHD which has its own beauty...
You can install any ROM with stock kernel and flash custom kernel..
For girls i would suggest you stick to Stock kernel... I found that most stable and gives good battery life...
thanks a lot it looks like the process is a bit different to my moto defy ( happy owner ) ...btw is it the same as on moto defy that if you flash newest stock rom there is no chance of downgrading ?
so there is no chance of undervolting and overclocking the stock rom with stock kernel ?
do you know where i can download a stock rom from just in case something would go wrong??
sorry for so many questions
Rooting S-off is the simplest procedure... There are several guides to do that in Android development.. Follow the one by x-Viper-x
Make sure you are on hboot 1.8 or below...
Here is guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
There is no downgrading problem...u can easily shift from sense 3.5 to 3.0 (2.3.5 to 2.3.4) but Only if you upgrade your hboot by flashing latest RUU, you can't downgrade that...
Just don't flash official RUU roms .. They can be flashed for warranty sake only... ONLY flash stock Rooted roms by EddyOS if you want pure stock experience without upgrading hboot/radio...
Here are Eddyos stock rooted ROM threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=1852412
If you really want official RUU then follow the thread below... Find your radio, software version and match with files on site, download and flash it...but it will relock (s-on) your device..and latest ones might upgrade your hboot... Then revolutionary method might not work to s-off...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
Stock kernels can't be underclocked ...only customs have the ability and u can overclock that too
Thanks a lot jjdoctor, i wanted to ask about RUU roms but you ve made it already a bit clearer
although the stock kernel cannot be undervolted, can I install some mods on it ? suck as 1% step battery or change a battery icon or install amaze camera ??
thanks again and im going to read some more stuff

Hi
If you want to try ARHD here is the main 2 things. Both versions are very stable.
4.1.9 is Sense 3.5
3.6.9 is Sense 3 (which is what comes on the phone)
3.5 is more polished and better laid out
3.0 seems a bit smoother and is better for gaming
as for bricked the best luck I have seen is version 1.51 beta 1 v528.
Thanks both of you for reply Kohr.Ah can you please provide me links with that cause it's really hard to find different versions they're all mixed, and I am so confused right now Please help me with this, First of all I am so scared now of ARHD roms because I had just installed ARHD 5.0.2 on my phone with radio 11.xx.xx.xx.xx But I didn't see any changes it was all same like , Dialer, Launcher home, lock screen etc, BUt I had a problem my call was restarting by itself It did restart byitself like 8 or 10 times I tried turning off and turning on again and also I tried reinstalling the rom but the problem was same, Then I reinstalled my old radio and this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406322 which I was using before this rom is really nice but has some bugs because it's ICS, The thing is I don't want to brick my phone I can't afford another one, First time in my life I have a phone like this, So pleaseee help me which rom is good, I am planning to install 4.1.9 with sense 3.5 and the brick kernel ver 1.51 as you said But I can't find the link can you please tell me if it's right ? and please also provide me the links Thank you

Flash Energy rom, In my opinion Energy ROM with sense 3.5 is the best rom out for sensation series. Very attractive as well as good battery life. Since i got my sensation I have tried and tested all roms, Energy is the best one out there, Other with good battery life are Elegancia ROM, Percaso rom, and RC MIX

Have a look at my sig, it contains links to my favourites at the moment.
3.6.9- the link is also there for 4.1.9, Bricked link and the radio which has given me least issues.
Spotify?
Has anyone found an ICS sensation rom that works with Spotify?
Thank you so much everyone for your help and support I don't know, I just can't figure out why ARHD doesn't work on my cell, I have tried different versions of ARHD but I am having a same problem with all the versions my mobile is restarting with all the ARHD rom's :/ and now again I am gone back to Ultimite ICS rom, BUt I am happy with that now, I am just scared of flashing other rom's and the battery timing is also pretty good It's nearly 9 hours on my battery and I've still got 78% left I have made some calls and took some pictures and WIFI is on. Thanks guys

Thanks Tariq bhai for your suggestion, But I removed my stock rom because I wanted to try something different, I am using Ultimite(ICS) from webstar1 right now and it's awesome rom with good battery life some little bugs needed to be fix, But still this rom is the best rom from all.
Hello everyone ,my 4G is rooted but it gives me some update and i cant update it ....
what are the steps to update from
Android Ver.
2.3.4
Soft number 1.45.531.1
is it safe to update and will I be able to use the phone still rooted ...
Since you're Rooted you CANNOT do updates unless you flash stock recovery back but there's no point of updating since you can flash a Ice Cream Sandwich ROM which have much better battery,speed(on the new ones)Happy Flashing man
how to do this ???
Google "htc sensation RUU"

ThaPirato talks about much better speed ,battery save .... this rom you suggest is not giving this options ,please point me to the best rom for speed and battery save.

You should flash a bynch of roms and see what works for you. Not just what others say.

In my opinion, I would give the following ICS roms a try.
Elegancia - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429953
ARHD - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
InsertCoin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198684
I have tried all 3 and love them all, and they get regular updates. But at the end of the day, it's all down to personal opinion.
So just try a few different roms until you find one you like.
If you do a Nandroid backup (which you should always do anyway), you can always revert to your previous rom, if you don't like it.
Hi to all. I am new here and bit comfused. Moved from Sony Ericsson to HTC sensation. I manage to unlock bootloader, S-OFF and update radio.
My configuratin now is:
Firmware 3.33
HBOT-1.27.1100
Rario 11.24a.3504.31.m
Manage to instal some ICS roms but my phone is all the time bit lagy and lack of sharpnes and fast response.
So, how could i revert to gingerbread, i find some gingerbread stock roms and tryed to instal ther fro cwm (wiping data-cache-dalvik)
but phone wouldnt go further than HTC logo. :crying:
What i need to do to be able to install Gingerbread???
Thanks to all
You need to downgrade your firmware I think (anyone please correct me if I'm wrong) but gingerbread will only work with firmware version 1.17. See kohr-ah's thread to downgrade.
For the lag, I would try a jellybean ROM because it's integrated with "project butter" which reduces (basically eliminates) the lag. I would seriously try albinoman's 4.2.2 ROM. It's silky smooth and has minor bugs.
Here's albino's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37121632
I think you should try it before reverting to gingerbread

I have hitachi panel ... please reply soon .. how can i flash a custom rom without having that broghtness always 100% error .. .those links in that thread weere dead :crying:
I'm sorry, but no jb or kit-kat rom will work properly on your phone. Even if you get them to boot with one of those kernels mentioned in the thread, the brightness will not be adjustable. So unless you can live with that, you're stuck with cm7 or sense roms
Check this.You have hitachi panel and you need to flash MDDI kernel.Check Flinny site like this http://andromadus.flinny.org/?q=cm10_1 for JB but be careful some links don't work so find it yourself. In basic you can get brightness working on your phone.
Check all post with MDDI and find that kind of rom.
Sorry for your problem.

The simplest thing would be to flash some custom rom with HTC Sense, there are a few ics ones in the development section (with sense 3.6, like the stock ics, or with the newer sense 4/4.1)

Does this work just if i flash it ??????? can i get the link please ????????
Yes, as your phone is s-off now, just flash the rom in recovery (after wiping data, cache and Dalvik cache).
I really don't want to get into a discussion about which rom is "best", so I recommend you look in the development section for roms that say "sense 3.6" or "sense 4" or similar, and have quite recent comments in the threads; read at least the last few pages of the threads, and the op, to see if there are any known issues etc., then try one, if you don't like it, or want a change, try another one.

its too confusing ... i am seeing that the sense ICS roms are having some WIFI and Front CAM not working issues :crying: please give me a link of a rom that's working without any such issues and is ICS ... Sense Version doesn't matter to me unless it's 3.0 + .... please give a link of a rom which you think will be most helpful to me right
THANKS AHEAD !!! :good:
Ok, I would use this rom as a starting point, but remember you can always make a nandroid backup, try a new rom, and return to the previous ROM by restoring the backup:

Recently, some people seem to be reporting issues with sms, but considering how long this rom has been there and how many people have used it, I think these issues are only affecting very few users
Is there a jb rom .... I know they don't support Hitachi panel but I heard that some midi kernerls are there which if I flash these roms will work

Hi, I have the following problem - My friend got an old HTC Sensation XE, with stock ROM, not rooted, bootloader locked and so on. She got it from friend because her phone died and she needed some fair replacement. She have never done anything like rooting, flashing ROMs, nothing like that. But the problem is that the phone has become laggy, I am very supprised because its on stock rom and when I used to use my Sensation, when it still was a flagship and well after One X was available, it it was okay, snappy and everything as you all know it was a HTC's flagship phone and HTC would not push anything that would make it laggy, I did factory reset and such, but that did not realy help. I in other hand have done fairy bit of rooting, flashing ROMs, custom kernels and such, so I think that flashing some custom ROM would help this problem, and as I have moved from my Sensation and anything related to that I am out of the loop and have no idea what is the best rom to use or maybe a kernel. So I am asking you what to do or flash, I need something stable and fast, stable because phone will be used by person who does not quite understand tech and fast - to resolve the problem of not able to use it comfortably.
