Vote here for the HTC Sensation to get Cyanogen Mod Support:
http://twtpoll.com/r/hsrsfj
Please share this poll. If we can get the dev to get a HTC Sensation we'll get CM on the phone.
If the bootloader is locked as tightly as the Incredible S, then it's going to take a lot more than a dev with a phone to get CM on your device...
Going to take jesus christ and a lot of redbull.

Yes, if, but we don't know that yet. Look at the Thunderbolt. It can be done.

Looks like Sensation pretty much won the poll already.

So why is this so hard? If it's already out for the DHD, the chances are it will make it to the Sensation.
The encryption methods on Thunderbolt, Incredible S & Sensation are heavier than on the Desire HD first of all.
A hack for the Thunderbolt was found based on a downgraded leaked firmware that could be flashed as a means to achieve S-OFF. A similar approach was tried already for the Incredible S, but so far it has failed.
I suggest poking around the Incredible S Development forum if you want to stay updated on the prospects of hacking the Sensation too.

That's Cyanogen himself, he doesn't like Sense UI. But others members will support Sensation.

I don't know if it is just me but I'll buy sensation for sense 3.0 so having cyanogen doesn't makes "sense" imho. Cyanogen can be seen installed on low end devices and having it on sensation will make it look the same as low end devices. If I want cyanogen, I'll buy another one. Maybe desire or something cheaper. Just my opinion. No offense.

You're right, I buy HTC Sensation for Sense UI 3.0. But for people that like AOSP CM7 will give them choices.

Well, if you like Sense 3.0, then leave it on! No one forces you to install CM! I like the possibilities of individualising your phone with Cyanogen Mod!

Ehh everyone is different. Personally i feel sense, even in its old version, was pretty bloated. Now in its crazy 3d implementation it is even more so. I buy a device based on if its supported by cm7.
Its from my damn phone!!!
Damn, this is almost a deal breaker. I was really looking forward to this being supported by Cyanogen. Not that they still wont. I own a N1 and been running Cyan from the begining. I am not looking forward to an LG phone. It scares me. HTC builds quality phones. I hear a bunch of things about the Gx2 but if its cyan software, it may solve some issues. This phone looks so damn good tho
i wanna CM on HTC Sensation too.
how its going ?
Ask charansingh, he's on the board too.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2
I'd like CM on it too. Love the sensations hardware but sense looks a bit dated and bloated to me now.
I have tried most of the UI's. Sense, by far, is the heaviest and most restrictive one. From the standard 16 apps 4x4 screen configuration to the inability to adjust certain widgets to smaller sizes. Therefore, Sense is gone for me anyway. I would welcome the mod support if I get one.
my Sensation is crying for the CM
any news ?

Update on Android Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades
by HTC on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 5:04pm ·
HTC has been working hard to get its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades ready, and we’re excited to announce that our first round of ICS upgrades will roll out by the end of March for the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE, followed soon there after by the HTC Sensation XL.
In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades will be coming later this year to the HTC Rezound, HTC Vivid, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks.

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy right now. Saw the post on twitter and went crazy. After faulty eMMC's, locked bootloaders and no updates, i was thinking of going samsung next time. Not gonna happen.
HTC, learning from their mistakes.
EDIT: Just read that the Sensation will get it by the end of march, and the XL soon after. Then, probably the Evo 3D will follow. Our device should be the first among single core family (DHD and IS, not Sensation XL) to get the update, like it got the 2.3.5 Sense 3 update. I believe it would be close to late April/early, May. So it's gonna be quite a long wait. But better late than never
I'm amazed...... Wow, never expected this! Glad its confirmed.

Seems a long way off, but like you say, better late than never
I'm sure there will be a leaked ROM for the us, DHD, IS, XL, and it could be easily ported
THing is, it won't ship with Sense 4.0, but instead 3.6
Bit sad....
It's kind of like the original Desire upgrade. It got the Gingerbread update, but HTC chose not to update the Sense version to 2.1.. THey kept the old version (Maybe because of internal memory issues?)
THat was kind of a rubbish update IMO.
Hopefully our update turns out to be good!
We really don't need to care of Sense 3.6 or 4.0. Even the update isn't important. What's important is the kernel 3.0 that will accompany it, and it's source. After that, a Sense 4 port should be easy. It'll be just like what we have now - official Sense 3 and ported Sense 3.5, both on Android 2.3.5
Maybe we get lucky and get Sense 4 right away, who knows. All i know is, HTC won my loyalty with this.

Yeah
Thats the main reason I'm happy too
I have no intentions of using the official update itself. I'm just interested in getting the base for this ROM & the kernel source. From there devs can tweak the base (Lowveld ) And the ROM will be much better
Hopefully HTC still release a WVGA device that will come with Sense 4.0 (although it seems unlikely)
Because the ROM will need resizing the images etc, which is not a easy and perfect job.
Virtuous Unity was a great job by the team, they resized the Sensations qHD Sense to work on our device. But unfortunately it still had flaws, inconsistent size issues, & wasn't as fast as the WVGA version we have now...
Anyway, enough of my rambling, I'm really happy with HTC's decision! They are even supporting the DHD which is a 2 year old phone.
Seriously, that device is lucky! It went from 2.2 + Sense 2.0 > 2.3.3 + Sense 2.1 > 2.3.5 + Sense 3.0 > 4.0.X + Sense 3.6/4.0
2 major OS updates and 3 major Sense updates! Thats as good as Apple with their iPhone 3GS updates!
One thing i did notice, was they haven't announced any plans to upgrade the HTC Flyer to ICS...
I was considering buying one if it did get the update officially

Crazy news. Keeping my desire s a tad longer then...
I also think this is great news, as I am not much for rooting and doing stuff to my phone. And better late than never.
BUT I think the main problem is that all the big phone producers have their own UIs on top of Android, meaning that we never get the updates OR really really late.
If they just would let google control updates, then all users would have ICS already on their phone regardless of brand and phone (overseeing old phones that cannot handle the new software).
I know that the big companies need to differentiate themselves from each other.. but still, just what I would prefer.
Waiting for HTC Sense on ICS
I dont know about you guys but I am pretty happy with HTC Sense and would love to have an ICS rom with Sense. Will wait for the update from HTC to try out ICS on my Desire S.
I just got a good reason to keep my desire s for another 6 months.
That guy who came out earlier and say he believes all the phones running gingerbread should be able to run ICS was right after all.

Actually, this was relevant, but a month ago. Now, everything you will see about the update in the General section will be re-posts or "information leaks on ETAs" from highly unreliable sources. The update is close, it'll be here in April and as soon as it comes, there will be a post with a download link in the DEV section

There are no leaks - so I fear that the update is far away.
in former times the ROMs always "leaked" (aka ROM for beta testers) 1 month before the official releases...
Hello to all of you here in the Sensation forums, and let me say I couldn't be happier to be back here! I used to own a Tmo Sensation & I've been gone for a while as I dabbled in the department of the Galaxy S2 (yuck) & the HTC Amaze (great device but no Sensation). As the new devices rolled out I followed on the band wagon but I just kept finding myself missing my sensation. Though it seems to be popular belief that the GS2 is some sort of Android god, I just couldn't love it, & my Amaze was just never as practical as my Sensation due to battery life & development. So, that's my long unnecessary story, thank for listening! Lol.
Now I'm no expert but not quite a noob when it comes to rooting & flashing but its seems quite a lot has changed since I was last here, & I mostly mean the addition of the ICS firmware. I have fallen in love with ICS on my Transformer Prime & I've even almost completely replaced my net book, even being a small business owner, its just so functional for my daily tasks.
So my question is that the last time I was on the Sensation I used a guide by VipeR to get root, cwm, & s-off. Is this still the method I want to use if the ice firmware is where I'm headed, or is there a more up to date method? I'd also like to know what is the smoothest fully functional ice build/rom that the majority are using here, as I see there are a few? Also, any advice or links that anyone might have for me on any significant info or changes that have occurred since the addition of ICS would also be greatly appreciated! I have taken some time to skim through some of the areas that are new to me here, but being new to owning my own business has accounted for a lot of my free time, & family time. I don't have any problem reading & educating myself, but any direction that could be offered would be fantastic! Thank you in advance to all of you great ppl in this forum & I look forward to hanging around here, as Tmo GS2 forum I was most recently in was getting a little off putting & unfriendly.

you have to follow this guide, which is the viper one, cause it is the best method and it is explained very well!
I am using insertcoin 4.6.1 give it a try and you will never change rom
follow the same guide but install 4ext afterwards. it gives you the optian to make a choice if give by roms wich clockwork just standard says no to. 4ext.net dl recovery updater and install by that. nandroid backups are at my phone found in clockworkmod->backup because i sued cwm to at first but with ARHD 4ext can by and was my new recovery
Just curious...the consensus seems to be that ICS will be pushed to the Sensation next month already. Can't wait?
Even if you like the ROMs here (I don't blame you...I like them too! ) I would think that with the official ICS out, these devs would make their respective ROMs even more stable since it will be built on the official one.
If ICS wasn't so close to coming out or wasn't going to be available on your phone, I would definitely go for it, but being that it's so close...
Personally I'm waiting. Then once I've got the OTA, I'm rooting and looking for the ROM of my dreams. LOL!
Thank you very much for posting and honestly I have been considering that. I really want ICS as pure as possible. I had purchased the gnex but I returned it as I just didn't think it was worth the $700 I had spent. I went back with the sensation thinking this was probably much better of a chance of pure ICS than my Tmo gs2. I would have done the htc amaze but there is not as much development for it as the sensation, not to mention the battery life, and I have always loved the sensation. I have learned my lesson with samsung I will buy nothing but htc from here out. I spend the majority of my time on my aces transformer prime and have just fallen in love with this very pure form of ICS.
I used the revolutionary.io site to unlock my Sensation, worked without a problem. Installed CWM and then a few roms, settled on Darkforest as it is the most stable ICS rom I've tried. And the Sensation is definitely better than the Galaxy S2 in my opinion, such a better build quality and feel to it!

As others have said, S-OFF etc. from the VipeR thread.
The main thing to be careful of is: S-OFF before upgrading the firmware, revolutionary.io doesn't currently support 1.23/1.27 HBOOTs.

I second this, I too have a transformer prime and I can't stand not having ICS. Virtious Inquisition is by far the best AOSP rom out there for the sensaiton. I've tried many others but this is the best working and fastest. ARHD is good if you like sense, but VI is best if you like pure AOSP (with a few HTC things like camera etc)
Sent from my Asus Transformer of The Prime Kind.
It's too bad that by the time a real (fully working) AOSP ROM drops for this phone I will already be on my next device. I purchased my original Sensation (now on my 4th or 5th due to dust issues...) back in June of last year. CM7 was always half baked, and although it was my daily it was never really 100% complete. Not to mention they never released an official CM7 for the Sensation.. But anyway, now CM9 is "in progress" but my biggest fear is that it will be 4 to 6 months (at LEAST) before a fully stable, working, reliable AOSP ROM (CM9 or otherwise) is released for our device. The most unfortunate part is that the hardware as a whole is certainly capable, and the devs are certainly good, but it will most likely be a case of "too little too late" for me. I have my eye on a true STOCK device such as the Nexus line, as that will really be the only way to go in the future. The main reasons are as follows, let me know if others agree
1) Almost instant (not really, but you get my point!) updates from Google
2) Those same updates can immediately be applied by Dev's for even more fun!
3) NO SENSE
4) NO SENSE to remove
5) Did I mention those phones don't have Sense???
I am with you. Though Virtuous has relatively decent ICS ROM that I am using, almost no trace of Sense.
Actually considering Galaxy Nexus now, on dailysteaps for $530 today.
Not sure wife will approve since she is still on Vibrant.

Its a good question, and the reason was I simply did not know how awful Sense was. This was my second Android phone, and my first was a bone stock (and loving it!) G2 made as Google intended it to be. I honestly had no concept of the horrifying abomination that Sense is. It was beyond my comprehension that HTC would bother to not only create that beast (sense), but to make it so hard to remove. I loved the hardware build of my first HTC phone and I just assumed Sense would be minor cosmetic changes, clearly I was VERY wrong and should have done much more work before selecting a new device. Also, at the time I purchased the Sensation the hardware was top notch, and it was the most powerful device you could find. Immediately upon powering it on and seeing Sense however, I realized the gravity of my mistake.....
Hmm well. i dont the blame the guy cause.......
This is my first HTC. on the galaxy s side sense use to look like the best android rom ever! we only ever dreamt to get sense 2.1 on our device.
Now that i got sensation with sense 3.0 it was a disaster.
The ui was good but toooooooooooooooooo memory hogging and then all of a sudden i realise samsung majorly improve touchwiz and it looks amazing, the day i slapped myself and what makes it worse is the fact the amount of support the galaxy s 2 is getting compared to our phone
Now my next phone is galaxy s 3 definitely.
however now everything is starting to look so much better tbh because and solely because of trip and only 10% virtuous team and shinzon.
he has had massive breakthroughs with our phone recently. he just released 95% stable fully working sense 4 rom which i think is much more optimised than sense 3.0
and now that he has almost everything working on his aosp tripndroid os rom including bluetooth apart from video recording we are in good shape

That's laughable. Virtuous Inquisition is probably the best AOSP-like ROM out right now and Trip had nothing to do with it.

Let us know when you get one, and I have to agree with you, the lack of a true senseless rom is pretty much non-existent for this phone. Nonetheless, enjoy your day!

My Vibrant started hardware malfunction on data radio in June and at that time HTC Sensation seemed to be a high end choice, just came out with dual core, good camera, etc. I had G1 prior to Vibrant which was made by HTC ( as did my wife and teen) and they were well built and had a good hardware. Little did I know of all the keylogger and other goodies baked into Sensation, should have taken Nexus S instead in a hindsight.
The phone is not too bad with Virtuous ICS ROM now, but in future I will go for Nexus devices, no matter if CPU/GPU not the latest or greatest. Still conidering that Galaxy Nexus dailysteals deal for $530 running today.

i want to jump ship to the Galaxy Nexus because of the same reasons (ie lack of AOSP dev support on the Sensation)... however, the crappy camera on the g.nex is really of putting to me since i use the camera daily.
i think i will wait to see how the galaxy s3, xperia s, and the htc one all do before upgrading... my priorities for my next phone are:
- Krait or Tegra3
- at least 300ppi
- strong AOSP dev support ie unlocked bootloader
- 720p and OLED a huge plus

This must be the 15th threat opened for complaining about the Sensation not having dev support, being slow,having bad build quality and a bad screen etc! You people gather your complaints in one threat and leave these forums clean for the rest of us who enjoy this phone.

And vorbeth is becoming big headed on twitter cause he can compile cm9 from source? There's a step by step tutorial in the development section so even new users can easily build.

I wonder if I should make her update directly to the official ICS before beginning to set everything up in GB. We live in Denmark which AFAIK should have received official ICS.
What are your experiences with the official ICS? Is it very buggy or is it better than the stock GB on Sensation?
Is it smoother or more laggy?
Does it drain more or less battery?
It seemed to me that the first official ICS had some bugs... but can I assume that most of these have been fixed in a small update which can be run afterwards?
I know that custom roms are nicer, but I believe she would like to stay on official ROM at least for the first 3-4 months.
Also, can she downgrade to the official GB version again after updating to ICS?
Any recommendations or stories about user experiences are most welcome!
Thanks in advance
BR, Martin

I can definitely recommend the official ICS upgrade on the Sensation.
It has been running on my Sensation XE for about 4 weeks now, with battery life nearly doubled compared to Gingerbread. It is fast and smooth like butter on my Sensation XE.
I've not felt the need to root my handset, I really love the Sense 3.6.!
I sold my Samsung Galaxy S II before the 'official' ICS upgrade, but I already had the leaked ICS running on it well before it was made available.
I bought the Sensation XE with the knowledge that the official ICS would be available shortly.
And I don't regret that move.
As someone who used the HTC Sensation on Gingerbread for 6 months, getting ICS was like HTC giving me a quad core new phone for free. It is MUCH better with ICS. Battery life lasts at least twice as long. Performance is on par with iOS, something which I could never say with Android 2.3.
Compared to my iPad 2, it is now 90% the smoothness. Before it was hardly 45-50% as smooth.
So yeah, I would like to say good job Google! And good job HTC!
ICS has hardware acceleration, boasting better battery life and a smoother experience, I can't go back to a phone or rom that doesn't have it.
ICS is amazing, yes. Sense 3.6 is a great upgrade from 3.0 but ever since I rooted my phone and installed sense 4 I am never turning back. It's so clean and smooth I just can't go back to any 3.X Sense version ever again. You won't be sorry if you give sense 4 a go ahead.
