right now i got a branded sensation. so far im quite satisfied with it. the only thing is, i would be glad to get root f.e. to get to the database file for the sense weather to add new locations.
for me i dont really need any custom rom by now. its my first android device and as said i like sense so far.
as i read through here, i think the problem for now is to get root on the device. if this would be possible, flashing new roms would be possible right?
so my question is:
is it more problematic to get root or to get a new rom? if htc will open the bootloader, will it be possible to get sense with root automaticlly? or is it still needed to find a way to get root in htc roms?
in custiom roms there should be no problem to get root right?
sorry if this all sounds lame or something but as said, this is my first android device. it try to read as much as i can
thx in advance for any answer!

i dont wann know how to do such things as by now it isnt possible. i just want to know if there will be unlocked bootloader, is it automaticly possible to get a root enabled stock rom?
or do we still need another way to get root on stock roms?

No. Unlocked bootloader will not automatically mean you'll get root. It's only a way for us to get root by another software running in the backround..
HTC already confirmed an unlocked bootloader in the near future..
For an offtopic discussion, custom roms will allways be better as they have no bloatware and includes tweaks to lots of stuff like ram management, oc kernels, gfx patches, deodexed and so on...
I hope this answered your question and please try to be nice on the forums.. people tend to reply nicer that way...

i was nice all the time just said stop that ot things.
READ MY POST: I KONW IT ISNT POSSIBLE NOW AND I DONT ASK FOR A METHODE TO DO ANYTHING LIKE ROOT OR CUSTOM ROM!
so isnt there a way to modify android and/or sense to get root on the stock fw? thought both are open source.
for sure this still requieres an open bootloader and maybe someone would say even this would be a custom rom

Android really isnt fully Open Source, HTC Sense and their phones aint Open Source.. Even if it is running Android in the bottom, HTC owns Sense UI.
The bootloader is pretty much locking you untill it gets hacked or HTC releases its opened one..
You labeled the topic GENERAL questions, but didn't see fit to place it in the GENERAL or Q&A forum?
This is in no way development related.

A Big Thanks and Sorry for beeing an annoying Noob with no time to search to much (The negative part of working too much is lack of time )
Even a temp root would be fine....
I searched a bit and saw root for Evo 3d And 4G! But in here in Sweden its Nither 4G or 3D! Just a Regular Sensation 3G!

s-off and radio off etc all those are needed to use custom roms and recoveries and permanent root... thats what i know well if im wrong please correct me...
1) This is NOT a development related thread. It should be in the Q&A section
2) Search, search and search
Time it took to post this thread and await the responses would have been much better spent searching, which in fact is about 2 posts down in this case...
Sensation's bootloader is locked ( s-on ) so there is'nt a way (yet) to s-off the device. We only have perm root for now that goes away when you reboot the phone ( so u have to repeat the method after every reboot ). The best and easiest way to do it is here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161283 . I know you are a noob and all but it would be better if did a little search before you started the thread ( the perm root method is very easy to find ). If you want to ask something the q&a section is where to do it. Anyway you will get it right the next time . Cheers

Well one, the Sensation EVO 3D isn't a device. It's the EVO 3D OR the Sensation. Also, if you read in this section of the forums, and check the temp-root threads, you would see how many people have EU Sensations.
Hi guys. Had this idea for a while. There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here.
First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THIS thread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.
Then, have a quick look at the links at the bottom of this post. You might find what you need right away.
Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read the links in this post to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE,adb, drivers, superCID etc...... You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.

Why wouldn't you SuperCID?
I put a question in the firmware/partition thread yesterday, still no answer so I'll kick off by asking it again.
I see a lot of people getting trouble with their CID when installing firmware, and the firmware package is constantly updated with new CID's, however it seems prudent to become SuperCID anyway.
Is there a reason for not wanting SuperCID? From my understanding it's just a "label" in the phone, so it doesn't affect signal strength / how good your radio works etc. So it seems weird to want to avoid SuperCID. Am I right?
The only reason I can think of is in case of warranty returns or so. But why are so many (with a working device) trying to install firmware with their original CID then?
I hope someone understands my question.

Yes you are right, If you want to go back to S-on sometime (which you'll only want in case of warranty returns), you'll need official firmware/hboot. However, S-on is a dangerous process, people have bricked their devices doing it.
The official firmware from that thread can be used for other purposes as well (If you're phone works better, you can switch to stock ROM/firmware and leave it S-off), but if you're not having troubles, I see no need to do that.
Also, you can make a NANDroid backup of your phone after you have rooted/S-off/CWM, so switching to Stock ROM won't be a problem.
For now, I wholeheartedly recommend Custom ROMs with the appropriate firmware.

S-on goes wrong if you do it on rooted phone only by the looks of it. Although, any of this nodding businessis potentially dangerous, all you can do is to learn as much as you can to minimise possibility of a brick.

And usually if you use an earlier RUU it will prompt you eventually for an OTA that will get up back to where you belong.

Do you mean can you replace the launcher with something that is different/more compact?
You can always try a different desktop launcher like Go Launcher or ADW but you will lose your ability to use Sense widgets. I don't know of anyone that has modified Sense Launcher to allow folders.
I don't want other launchers - sense stock is good, but I need something other for all programs menu - actually i've found AppFolders.
I just want to remap action on left button to app folder, for example. Is it possible in sense?

I have revolutionairy 6.02 on my phone and I am having problems with reboots. Seems to be around the sms. Anyone have any problems like this? I havent been able to find anyone else so far.

Cyanogen updates are like Fight Club.
Rule number 1. You don't talk about Cyanogen updates.
Rule number 2. You don't talk about Cyanogen updates.
That aside.....CM9 is being worked on. That's the only update there is. It'll get here when it gets here. (And yeah...I'm drooling with anticipation too and it drives me bonkers that I have no idea when we'll get to see it But that's the way Cyanogen rolls.)
Hey everyone,
Please bear with me since this is my first post.
I want to overclock my HTC Sensation XE with stock ICS(4.0.3), software no 3.33.720.106 (to start with).
I realize that I need root to do this. I found tons of great guides here and what I want to know is: Is it better to get a custom ROM like Cyanogen Mod for this? Or should I just root and keep S-ON and get an overclocking app? I mean I would need to S-OFF to get non ICS (3.33.xxx.xxx) ROMS which renders the phone rather vulnerable. I'm in doubt because I read that Cyanogen is very good at security and offers a great deal of control over the phone.
This is my first root attempt so please excuse anything that I (might) have got wrong. I searched but if this is a repost, please redirect .

I realize that I need root to do this. I found tons of great guides here and what I want to know is: Is it better to get a custom ROM like Cyanogen Mod for this? Or should I just root and keep S-ON and get an overclocking app? I mean I would need to S-OFF to get non ICS (3.33.xxx.xxx) ROMS which renders the phone rather vulnerable. I'm in doubt because I read that Cyanogen is very good at security and offers a great deal of control over the phone.
This is my first root attempt so please excuse anything that I (might) have got wrong. I searched but if this is a repost, please redirect .

You can also root your phone using the link in his signature.
If you want,you can stay s-on,and flash almost every ROM from the ICS and JB collection.

You really need to search and read so you can understand what you're doing and asking.
Also, the official ICS was rubbish - slow, flaky, not good. If you want ICS then flash one of the many good Custom ROMs instead.
I will back what Simon has said... if u still havent rooted yet... root ur phone... try to Get S-off , instructions can be found be in Development Section, Dont go for official OTA... i installed it and believe me it was a pain in a** . Once S-OFF u can flash many Roms out here and figure which onces best for u ...Happy Flashing
