HTC Evo 3D Rom's on Sensation?

Ok so i dont think this question has been answered before.. But since the same temproot, permaroot method has been used to s-off the evo and sensation wouldn't custom roms work the same way with a little bit of editting to the kernel and radio since we are on GSM and there on CDMA? Idk im just thinking here..

Why would you want that? It's the same sense 3.0.

maybe he thinks he can get 3D effect just by flashing a rom

That would be cool. Lol

I see what you are saying, and considering the fact they are the same phone with the same hardware (except the screen/ram of course), the custom roms should work vice versa

Good job guys for flipping what i said so totally around.. I'm not stupid like some of the members here that post **** like this for 3D on the phone im asking because if you go into the 3d forum they actually have a bigger rom selection at the moment then us and are getting bigger and bigger so i was wondering if we can flash there's so we have a even bigger selection!

Good point Sir. But I think, now that we are all S-OFF the developing community will grow slowly. We will get CM7, MIUI and what else on our phones.

Yes stardust im hoping it grows huge.. But for the time being lmao i dont know was hoping .. lol

[Q] I need your opinion!

Hello all,
I'm currently using the samsung vibrant and I'm about to pick up a new phone tomorrow. I know everything there is to know about the vibrant aside from JTAG operations. the phone has been outstanding and reliable from the beginning to end. I post this because I wonder what you guys feel about your sensation... always was an HTC fan but if I were to get the Galaxy S 4g then I would be right at home. They are very hard to actually brick and that is what I love most. So how's the sensation?? you guys get alot of bricks on this device? I've been doing some research and this phone looks amazing with some of the custom roms and themes I've seen so far. I really want to get it because of its highly updated processor. But how dangerous is it to flash custom roms and what not?
I appreciate your input

I switched from a captivate I know exactly what your saying but it looks alot more complicated then it is if you follow the instructions and guides properly you will be ok. Overall I love this phone its amazing and great support on here for it

yeah sad to say.... the vibrant is dying.... at least that is what it seems like. Cant seem to get a solid gingerbread rom going although they are getting close. I read some lines from a rom thread that shows how to turn your sensation into the XE version... is that what you did? or is there really a better version out there? lol I have no idea

Yea I did that the developers name is Mike and he is sick. His rom android revolution is unreal

I switched from the g2x and the sensation is very easy to root if you follow the guide exactly. It is also the best phone available in my opinion.
Sent from my HTC Sensation z710e using XDA App

Well if the choice is between the Galaxy S4 and the Sensation... that's easy. Sensation! Not even close.
If you are a huge Sammy fan you might want to delay and compare the Hercules with the Sensation.

Decision was made, you guys were right, this phone is a beast. Within 2 days I already flashed ARHD 3.6.0 and I'm very impressed. Thanks to all

New to sensation!

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!

welcome to the sensation "thing" lol. Atleast there are more people getting the sensation even though there are new phones coming out.

Welcome...i'm also new in here...
Good choice with htc sensation,you won't regret...belive me...cheers
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App

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
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Consider MIUI for Sensation! It's pretty awesome!!

I also came to the Senny from the G2x. It's a much better phone. Rooting is really not hard at all.

Keep an eye on coredroid. And careful flashing

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 reason for root : Adfree

Great phone! Until the GN is released which will replace my Sensation. Happy flashing!!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

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
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk

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

Is anyone else not a big fan of sense?

Or is it just me? I love the inquisition rom for this exact reason. IDK, I just don't like it very much. Am I in a lone group with this? What's everyone else's take?

i wish hTC makes their phones as simple as the galaxy nexus, that's why i will flash a "senseless" ICS ROM.

I love AOSP ROMs, not de-sensed ROMs as they contain parts of sense still in them. E.g OpenSensation, nice AOSP ROM...

that's what i've noticed on my previous HD2...i didn't try on my sensation yet, but i guess yeah, it's quicker

Sense is just a battery hog

I love sense... Probably because ive never owned an HTC before, and i really like how different it is to other android devices....
I dont think battery is that bad TBH, I can easily get 1-2 days use out of it....
Is there an HTC that doesnt come with sense (except windows phones) ??? If not why buy the HTC if you dont like sense ??

if you dont like sense you could install the aosp roms or install a third party launcher

But then what would attract customers to buy a HTC device instead of a Galaxy Nexus?
OEM's can't compete on hardware differentiation alone IMO.

That won't change the horrible Sense apps. Yes, you could root your phone install an AOSP rom, but you shouldn't have to do that to make your phone work like it's supposed it.
HTC/other OEMS should just give an option to de-sense the phone somehow. If I had a pure-Google experience I wouldn't even need to root my phone.

Again why buy HTC then. The hardware specs are available in many other phones. IMHO.

Not many other phones have 1.5GHz stock, only on the XE. And the build quality is better, so is Android Development etc.

i bought it because of the qhd screen, also i like my devices to have some weight and feel sturdy something which other manufactures seem to not understand how to do

I like sense ...its gives the brand of HTC...I prefer look/feel and performance both so HTC with custom roms is perfect for me
Coming from iphone4 I used to have cheap opinion of android (yeah I know I'm little over my head when I had iPhone4) but once I got this little beast on my hands I'm baffled (the rich looking HTC sense and powerful beast inside)
I'm more than amazed ..may be I'm liking sense coz this is my first android phone but right now I feel like sense is a must for a HTC phone....when others look at my phone they'll just know its HTC
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA

Normally I'd take AOSP over Sense any day, but these AOSP ROMs always have some large turnoff that I don't want to mess with. I've been pretty fine with Sense 4.0 though.

Hello everyone

Just switched to my millionth android phone, coming from a t989, picked up a sensation. Looking to eventually root and find a clean stable ROM. Looking forward to some suggestions, maybe tips and tricks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2

Hi and welcome! You can take a look at Sensation general forums and they have the rooting guides there. Also look at sensation android development and the roms Are there. Before anything you need to know your h boot version in order to find the guide that is correct for you. In order to find that you pull out your battery, then place it back in and press your volume down and power button at the same time. A screen will come up with your information. On top will be your h boot version. Write it down. Then you can find the correct rooting guide for your boot version.l read through the guide a few times. I suggest to even print the guide out so you can refer to EVERY step with ease . I did this and trust me it helps a lot because you can't miss a single step. Before you begin familiarize yourself with the guide. It's worth the effort in the end. Before you know it you will be S-off and rooted . I do suggest you also S-off because you will have more freedom later and be able to flash a lot easier. This is my opinion. I'm S-off. S off is like security off . Since your rooting you might as well soff also. The guide will tell you how. I hope these tips help you out. And I want to say again welcome. Best wishes!
sent from HTC sensation, soff, 3.33 firmware, viper Rom, sense 4.1, mugen battery. please press thanks if I helped in anyway.

Thanks for all that awesome information, I'm very familiar with routing and s-off and all that. To be honest,I underestimated this phone. I have never seen so much development for a phone and I'm kinda overwhelmed with all the roms, as to which are popular and stable and the latest.

I've got to say, I had 3 Amazes, this is my first sensation and I like it so much better, but I can't quite pinpoint why. It feels great in the hands, I love the groove asking the glass, and the thin-ness of it. I know speed for disc the amaze is suppose to be better, but this phone is real nice.
One thing I notice, it seems a little longer, yet a little more narrow as far as the screen goes? Maybe it's just me, coming from a 4.52 inch screen
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2

Just checked my hboot version, it's 1.27.0000 so I'm going to start looking into the easiest way to perm root my sensation and see which ROM is best. Viper seems like the most popular.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2

You're right, viper is the most popular, but that's probably because team venom does so much work with sense and they have devs for a lot of HTC devices so they get things done and put a ton of features, by the way, be careful on juopunut bear. I know you've had the amaze and you've probably already done it, read everything very carefully because you do not want your new phone to be bricked
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2

For ICS ROMs I'd have to say ARHD is by far the fastest and smoothest. Cm9 wasn't bad but I still find it laggy and buggy even in final build. I won't mention jellybean because you said you wanted something stable and I take that as no betas . Good luck and just remember that if you get s-off and super cid you will save yourself a lot of trouble with incompatibility issues.
Sent from my Sensation 4G Bruces CMX jellybean ROM using XDA Premium
REMEMBER TO HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU IN ANY WAY, IT'S POLITE AND APPRECIATED.

If you to try a sense rom really close to vanilla ICS I would go with virtual inquisition. I used it for many months, it was really good battery life was great. But development has seized for that rom.
Sent from my HTC Sensation

I hate to be that guy that asks, but is there an all in one method I could follow for hboot 1.27.000 to get s-off and root with recovery? I've been searching I'm kind of overwhelmed lol. Could someone provide a link? Thanks in advance.

means your phone is temp rooted, run the un temp root script

I figured it out, just had to finish the instructions lol. It didn't say anything about the black screen so I jumped the gun and got worried lol. It's all good now, downloading viper ROM
