Hey guys,
I'm a little bit confused. Which forum should I follow in order to get custom roms on my Sensation XE? Should I follow the Sensation forums, or the Sensation XL forums? I know that the XE isn't available in the US, but surely there are roms for the XE as well?
Sensation XE is the same as Sensation.
I have the Sensation XE too ...
My CPU says it's clocked @ 1.5GHz as standard ...
What happens " If " we put a custom ROM on.? - Standard Sensation is clocked @ 1.2GHz
I'd like the new ROM to be the same speed when I check the phone, or even better if possible.?

The majority of Sensation ROMs are set to 1.5GHz since the XE came out.
I'd suggest Android Revolution HD

Yeah, I was planning on Revolution HD, those guys always do great stuff.
I do have a question though. What about my phone's firmware? I just got my Sensation XE today (sealed) so do I need to downgrade or upgrade to a certain firmware?
Just go to www.revolutionary.io
one click root, worked fine first time for me on XE
if you have any issues, come back and check on XDA but it will no doubt be fine...
You should first root your phone. Use the link from the member above me. then use Android Revolution HD Rom. Those are excellent better battery life, etc...
Sensation Forums it is....

Hi,
Essentially ,both phones have the same hardware.
The original phone was under-clocked at 1.2 ghz,while the XE has the native 1.5 ghz.
Once you root your phone,you can add different kernels and then adjust the speeds to whatever you want them to be.
So yes,the guide in my sig will work for your XE phone.
I am currently running my ROM at 1.51 ghz,and it works great.
if the original sensation was underclocked to 1,2 and now 1,5 will the maximum then be 'only' 1,5 on sensation xe?? Sensation xe is 1,5 from factory.

Hi,
The speeds are set by the kernel you are using,and then adjusted by programs like Daemon Controller or SetCPU.
Speeds can be set anywhere between 1.0 and 2.0 ghz
ok thanks, but what is the best kernel to use if I will make my sensation xe extremly fast and stabile??
What ROM are you aiming to use ?
All the custom ROMs come with a Kernel. They might also have recommended alternate Kernels.
It's important to ensure that the Kernel supports a ROM and vica versa, e.g. AOSP kernel for CM7 etc. Just look in the ROMs OP for more information.

Hi,
Before you do anything,make a nandroid backup.
There is no "BEST" kernel.
There is ,however,the best one for you.
I do not know which one that will be.
But ,if you trawl through THIS THREAD you will find different kernels.
Read the thread which corresponds to your ROM,and you will see suggestions from other users.
Good luck.

Hi,
I'm not sure why it 's not working for you.
Please explain the steps that you have already taken.
Also look at the s-off guide in my signature.
Is it the same one you have tried?
You must be careful to follow the guide to the letter.

Can I Flash The Orignal Htc sensation ROMS To The Htc Sensation XE
And Is There An Arabic ROM For The Htc Sensation XE
You can flash android revelation HD. It comes with beats audio, and the same power as the XE. Also you can install an addon so you get arabic keyboard ans such

No I Have An HTC Sensation XE And I want To Root It And Flash ROMS Into it
Can I Do It The Same Way As The Orignal HTC Sensation
For XE you need XE ROMs. But yes, it should be done in the same way as Sensation.
is there any xe roms
Oops, I just found out that somebody managed to successfully flash InsertCoin (Sensation ROM) into XE. Sorry for confusing you
I'm on xe you can use any roms but some of them will underclock your cpu, for s-off cwm and custom roms follow stickies in development thread. Treat it as a sensation because it is just with extended battery there is plenty of "overclocked" roms
I'm not 100% on kernals as the XE battery is bigger I'm having inconsistencies with the battery but ill sort it in time

Guys,
Which version should i install for sensation xe ? revolution hd 6.4.0 or 6.3.1 XE ?. Another question is that can I install "v1.20 1782 MHz" kernel over this ROM ?
Thanks
Hani
6.4.0 is based on the final version released by htc. The XE version is not out yet as stated by mike.
And yes you can use the 1.2.0 kernel with 6.4.0 rom
You can install both, the choice is yours.
6.3.1XE - Testrelease with beats audio
6.4.0 - Final Release without beats audio
These are the only differences.
But soon may come a 6.4.0XE release.
And yes, you can install the 1,8Ghz Kernel.

If you use the beats audio features then you may want to chose the 6.3.1XE ROM for the time being and upgrade to 6.4.0XE when Mike finishes it. If you don't use beats then save the space and improve your boot time by sticking with the straight 6.4.0
I don't care for beats so I'm running 6.4.0 and its fabulous - the best so far IMO.
As for the kernel you don't need to load a separate 1782MHz kernel as long as you are using 4EXT Mikes roms include the 1.7Ghz overclock support. I believe however that since you have the XE device you select no during setup for the 1.7 option since your already 1.7 by default. (I'm almost positive thats what the instructions said during setup)
Only guys like me with the Sensation 4G need to select to use the 1.7 option.
Perhaps someone with an XE can confirm that my instructions are correct.

With ARHD you get the option of 1.2GHz or 1.5GHz. 1.7GHz is the kernal in a separate thread.
Right you are, I realized my error shortly after hitting submit, but you beat me to it, I gots meself confused... Or maybe its just time for bed. Either way sorry for my error in that regard, still stand that only go with 6.3.1 if you are interested in beats. I personally couldn't be bothered by it, but I use my phone for heavy business use not personal music.
*going to bed now*

I have version 6.2.1 on my phone right now, and when the new 6.4.0 came out I was going to flash it as it is the official release. However, I am going to wait because version 6.4.0 is based off the 'non-XE' OTA, meaning there's no beats audio (which I use).
So I'll be waiting a week for everything to settle, and hopefully the official OTA for the XE arrives and there is a new release
Just my opinion.. but if you want to do it right now then flash the 6.4.0, NOT the 6.3.1 as the 6.4.0 is a more stable build.
As for the kernels, any of these will work, there is a 1782 MHz one there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424345
Many thanks guys! I'll wait for the 6.4.0 XE version.
Hello,
I am about to buy a sensation xe. Have few questions:
1. all roms in android dev section will work on the sensation xe?
2. How is the battery life? Can you tell me the average screen on time?
3. Are the jelly bean custom roms good? DO they lag and bugs?
4. Do I need to check any bootloader version or anything before buying?
Ahlan
Most roms will work, but those made for the sensation XL.
JB was never released or even leaked from HTC, so they all have atleast some issues. Though as any rom in dev, they are getting better all the time. Bruce's rom looks very well IMHO.
As for the battery, the one comming with the Xe is reasonable and would get you through the day, but it's really usage dependent.
As for bootloader, no need to check. You can always flash another. See my signature for more details.

So I hear the XE is identical to the vanilla sensation, hardware wise...
I'm currently using CM10.1 (S-ON) on my HTC Sensation, could anyone tell me how to overclock my Sensation and install Beats (I've tried pimp my rom but it doesn't seem to work).

You can install system tuner or kernel tuner to adjust cpu frequencies
Otherwise go to system->etc->init.d folder and go to 99kernel
There you will see how to overclock it

Either go with stock ROM (beats) and overclockable kernel.
Or use a ROM like vipers(beats). You can overclock in either.
JAM THAT THANKS BUTTON.
Happy to help.
