Just got the sensation to replace my LG G2x and first thing on the list of things to do is ROOT! I plan on following the stickie on this forum to do it so wish me luck! I switched from Verizon using a thunderbolt so I feel right back at home with this phone!

Good choice with htc sensation,you won't regret...belive me...cheers

yeah its a lot lighter than the Thunderbolt but its the same phone! I just love it! I haven't rooted yet and am freaking out. I always feel so overwhelmed when i look at the whole step by step process because i look at the whole picture instead of the little steps....AHHHHH
Welcome aboard, enjoy your great new device, and happy flashing!
Welcome dude!! Before u purchase senny, did u do all the research first and read xda? If yes, then good for you. If not, then dont feel regret later!! and please dont compare it to SGS2..thanks

Gotta ask - Why do you need to root? Have you even tried to use the phone as it is?
I always root my phones....just something I have always done.

One more reason for root: it's YOUR phone. Welcome back home.
I run Android Revolution HD v 4.1.x
Sense 3.5 interface - If for no other reason, Root so you get Sense 3.5.
Cant get sense 3.5 on Sensation without Root (yet).
In my opinion, 3.5 is a big step up from v3.
Keep on rooting boys !!
Just got myself a sensation as well. Coming from a line of samsungs, most recently the sgs4g. Man there are so many options with this phone as compared to the sgs4g.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
many reasons for rooting: speed and awaken 3D and 2D gaming power!!
was really upset with stock sensation XE.
But ARHD ROM (Cool), Amaze Cam Mod, Bricked kernel 1.5r1 beta 1(fixed 3D & 2D issues and no freeze cam after applying Camfix) and ARHD Radio....
It's A Superior Master Piece!!!!
I don't mind stock I just loved my titanium back up and can't have it unless I'm rooted. Still haven't done it yet....still overwhelmed lol

lets just say, all the fun stuff happens when its rooted
I love amaze cam. And also titanium backup and Mybackup are reasons to root. i couldnt imagine a phone without my backups
Hello,
I am new to the sensation forum. Originally from the Evo forum, thens switched to T-mobile and went to the G2x forum. Missed my evo so I got a sensation which is the same form factor. So far loving the phone. Much faster than evo. Better camera too.
welcome! hope that you enjoy the forums
Hello and welcome
Welcome aboard and Happy Flashing!
I am also new to this forum coming from Samsung Vibrant. I just received a Sensation and I am amazed how many different types of Roms are available for flashing.

You're gonna have fun trying out all the different ROMs. Luckily for you, most of the devs have relatively stable versions now, and CM7 has been released in alpha status for a while.
We have some weird people in here, don't let that bother you too much
Also new to this forum, just sold my mytouch 4g and bought this baby. Just got done with S-off, Super cid, and all that jazz (which was relatively easy).. I'm a CRACKFLASHER!! Haha.. anybody can recommend a stable Rom?

That's entirely up to whom ever wants to port it over or if it will be officially supported by the CM crew. They have been really good about supporting the MyTouch 4G for a long time now so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't an official release for us over here.

so im finally making the switch to a duel core phone, and decided to go with the HTC amaze 4g. i like samsung but there phones seem so flimsy to me, touchwiz is awful and m experience with the galaxy s was a weird one. anyways...i was just wondering if any of our favorite devs are moving/planning on moving or deving on the amaze. I have loved the development on this phone and have grown fond of the work of certain devs, (faux123, team royal, and TDJ). after seeing that tdj moved to the SGS2, it almost made me want to throw my amaze on craigslist, although i saw Faux wich made me happy ha. anyways i hope i see development on that phone as good as the mt4g was/has been.

Faux123 has an amaze but there is no s-off so no roms for s-on devices. Tdj and royalknight aka darkside dev team went to the sgs2. Your best bet is the amaze if you don't mind waiting for s-off

Not true. For the amaze you don't need s-off. All you need is an unlocked bootloader. I bought my girl the amaze because her mt4g broke. Unfortunately it came s-on (some people will be lucky enough and have s-off already when when receiving their amaze) so the same week I bought her the phone, I unlocked the bootloader. Its almost the same as s-off. I was able to grant her permroot and she can even flash custom roms and kernels. I already debloated her amaze and added a custom battery, tether and have setcpu running on it to get better battery life.
At this moment I'm researching on which custom rom is best for her so I can flash.
So if you lurk the amaze forum you'll see they have a few selection on custom roms, kernels and mods.

where'd you buy yours and how much? Just wondering cause I don't think phones are worth half a grand.
Just got the amaze today.basically a larger mytouch4g.Although it has a higher screen resolution,there isn't that great a difference from the mytouch.the camera is better no doubt.actually,its quite good for a camera.build is solid,yet remains light to the touch.
Sense 3.0 is so much smoother than any sense rom.
its abeautiful phone.
Recently got and unlocked a Sammy infuse.it has a nice Tom selection,which are high quality roms (Zeus) thanks dman,my daughter loves it.
I thought I'd prefer the amaze,but provably should have tried the sgs2.
Amaze is very good though!
Edit:yeah,that extra tenth of an inch on the Samsung phones makes a difference.atleast with the Zeus rom ,the infuse is kickass and so much smoother than any mytouch rom. Yet I made my choice.
Not dissatisfied,but miss that butter from the Sammy.

I will get a Sensation tomorrow after work it is a warranty exchange..has anyone else come from the MT4G, how would you compare it to the Sensation?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
My mom has a mytouch4g... holy hell, I want to kill it with fire. Beat it with a bat, and then put it in a blender. I seriously hate the Mytouch 4G. The sensation is a Bugatti, and the MT4G is a 94 Honda Civic with no v-tec and a super huge muffler that kills all its power..
The biggest thing I noticed on the negative side when I switched from the MT4G to the Sensation was the rounded back of the Sensation.
You can't just lay it on your desk or a table and type on it. It wobbles all over the place. You have to hold it. The MT4G has a flat back so you could pound on it and it wouldn't wobble. Made it really easy to type while it was sitting on the table.
However....the bigger screen is really nice. It's much more vibrant too.
The first day you'll feel like you're holding a tablet because of the size difference. But you get used to that pretty quick.
The only thing I miss from the change is the trackpad wake and dedicated camera button

i had a MT4G before, and compare to Sensation: honestly, i don't feel the sensation is much superior than the MT4G.Even with dual core processor, there is not much different in term of speed. Not like you move from a Camry to a Lamborghini.Instead, you move to an Avalon ^^. The only thing different is the screen size :4.3 inches vs 3.8 inches. And i also miss AOPS roms and MIUI roms alot. MT4G have a great roms collection than Sensation. Overall, Sensation is till a good phone, but you wouldn't expect to much in it.

Are you seriously telling somebody that there are no good custom roms for the sensation??? WTF??
I still have a MT4G and a Sensation, and will switch between the 2. The Sensation has a larger and better screen, 8 MB Camera w/ 1080p Camcorder, and a likely quicker path to ICS, all pluses.
The MT4G had great build quality, dedicated buttons including camera button and slightly better cell reception. I personally think the antennas built into the rear Sensation cover is a defective design; much prefer the MT4G design.
For many other things, like battery life, speed of use with or without Sense, lack of lag, built in memory, 4g speeds, browsing, etc., the devices are very similar if not about the same. Dual core in the Sensation is nice, but on both of my devices I only OC to about 1.2 ghz and they both (with the right GB rom) have the same smoothness and similar benchmarks. Sensation is just like a slightly newer brother to the MT4G IMO.
I miss...
Camera button.
Cm7-so much!
More responsive touch screen when typing.
That's about it.
You will like...
Better camera.
Better/larger/sharper images.
Ics roms.
OK gingerbread roms.honestly,I liked tdj's/royal knights sense 3.5 better than any on sensation,but they are good here too.
Better 3g4g connectivity its faster.
Is it worth upgrading too instead of sgs2? No.Not really.
However,my sgs2 is in the drawer,so,its a matter of preference.I'm just using this one to flash roms.
You will like the phone.but if you can return for sgs2 you will most likely enjoy that one more!

Couldn't agree more about the battery life.
Development is on par I'd say considering the future development and official ICS coming. MIUI is going to officially support the sensation, win.
Also, camera button.

I used to have a MT4G and now I'm on Sensation and I absolutely love both phones.
I was very satisfied with the myTouch only AFTER I rooted it and installed CyanogenMod, overclocked it a bit, it went very fast.
I've had the Sensation since it came out! I love this phone, really powerful, looks great, has an amazing camera and screen. You won't be disappointed.
ROOT it of course stock HTC ROM sucks doodooballs.
