Hi guys, (possibly) noob question here, but I'm planning to get a HTC Sensation XE when it come out here.
I realize everything about the headset (other than looks and packaging) are the same as the original Sensation. The chipset are the same except clocked higher (which is probably on a software level from what I understand).
Therefore, when it comes to flashing ROMs, can I flash Sensation roms found in this forum into the Sensation XE without screwing it up?

That's not the question that was asked, and it's the same one I'm wondering. Can we (Sensation XE) users flash the ROMS from this section (Sensation ROMS) onto our phones?
There are plenty of topics around discussing whether the Sensation and the XE are identical hardware wise, but nobody has give a definitive "yes" answer yet.
Why don't you try and then report back? I'm pretty sure it will work.

I'd rather get an expert's advice than try it myself and risk screwing up the phone, I also want to keep it under warranty for now in case I have any hardware problems within the first few weeks of purchase.
I'm also interested in the answer

do be honest i dont see it being a problem since when you look at the device it has the same, hardware only differences it is the overclocked chip which i do believe could be hardware, since the software has nothing to do with it. Personally when i had other devices in the pass i have always cross software with the same make and different models and they still work. If you are in still doubt just wait for a while but right now, alot of people are just using the non xe edtion and make it a XE, person i benchmark mine via the Manufacture version and there is no differents in performance...person i say it is a gimmick. Also the headphones are not that anyway, all the headphone dont is just justify the price increase....
Answer to thread starter, No not possible. Both the Sensation and Sensation XE are two different ROM. Even a simple Battery mod for the Sensation would not work on the XE and vice versa. So I don't think it would be possible to flash a Sensation Based ROM.
However RoMS for the Sensation which are based on XE can be given a shot, and let all of us know of the out come
Okay, but before I install any custom rom, i'd have to install cwm first right? Is the steps to do so the same as an ordinary sensation?
Guys, s-off your XE, install cwm, backup, install any sensation rom, if it doesn't work restore nandroid. What's difficult about that?

I don't know why some may say ICS on Sensation is lagy, but I can say it is smoother. I love everything about the update. If you have a Sensation 4G, the ICS update is well worthy to update to. So, the update is not available in the US, it is worth rooting and the whole 9 yards, be advised! Getting ICS on Sensation 4G is a wreck of work, but there are a lot of helpful threads to seek into before attempting anything. I'm rooted/CID/Firmware ready to flash and I love ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 Being on Sense 3.0 Gingerbread can't compare! So, thanks to all of the helpful threads and Developers and last but not least XDA!...CHEERS!

Even that wasn't hard. Unlock your bootloader which is almost fully automated, flash su, done.
arent mikes firmwares rooted already? so no worrys about that
ics wokrs like a charm
flashed it 3 days ago, my batt is at 12% !
Can only agree, even for a novice is not that hard to do at all, just have to follow guide (there are quite few around) to the letter and all goes well.
From what I've read is people who cut corners and miss important steps that often have problems with their phones.
Many thanks to everyone here on Xda for their hard work bringing us goodies!
Ok I just wanted to clear up what seems like some confusion that everyone is having. To flash the ICS and Sense 3.6 OTA file all you have to do to a stock Sensation or stock Sensation XE is to S-off your Sensation first then write Super CID to your Sensation. That is it really, you have to S-off because branded Sensations will only flash ROMs that have the correct security clearance for whatever carrier that the branded Sensation is from. You need Super CID so the OTA file will pass the cid check during the flashing process. You do not have to be rooted as being rooted has nothing to do with being able to flash a ROM.

I have not had a HTC phone in years, Mytouch 3G to be exact. I read the treads before I even think about flashing, and boy did I see a few with bricked phones soft bricked/ hard bricked, and lots that was confused. I'm a good guy and I just hate when somebody destroy something they care about. So, with that said, I hope to put precaution in those who are fast to act and slow to read. Thanks to all of you for sharing your thoughts about ICS, my feelings are likewise

Sorry, but I just had to add, coming from a Google flagship phone/dev phone without any third party security and bloatware, it was a one step thing just root and flash. So, I'm proud to say I felt like a nube coming back to HTC

So HTC have announced that the ICS update will be rolling out from today onwards... Those of you here who have rooted your phones and installed a custom ROM etc... will you be de-rooting and going for the official release or not?
I won't myself, just wanted to know what the general thoughs/feelings were.
T-L-H
Already got it, but good to know for anyone on stock who's waiting for it
Hurrah, some good news! I'll give it a try after work. Let's hear from the folks that got the update today. I take it that it's for both the standard Sensation and the XE?

I can't see it yet. Do you have a link to the anouncement ?
I'm running ARHD so I'm using ICS already myself but for those of you who aren't.
Link to announcement I read: http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/ice-cream-sandwich-rolling-out-to-htc-smartphones-1070928
That is good news. I'm unrooted for this exact reason, I worked out it wouldn't be too long I had enough patience to wait..... just!!

Do I have to be S-on or S-off for that?

Sounds like a really good rom if Mike didn't put all the features from the ARHD into his tmous rom I will flash to this one
Just a quick question about your firmware. My Sensation is unlocked, supercid, and rooted. The new firmware won't change any of that will it. If not I'm ready to flash away. I'll wait for your answer before I do however. Thanks, and glad to see this new ROM. For a flashaholic like me, it's like seeing a whole new life, LOL

1. No

Also, if you're already on ICS then you should still be able to use your current rom with the firmware.

That may work as long as you don't over use it and get flagged on the carrier side. I'm looking into it...
The APN's are hard coded into the framework-res.apk. I should be able to port over the XE framework to get things working...

Cool rom. Downloading it right now, 38 minutes remaining. After being back and forth with Sense 4.0, AOSP, and 3.6, I'm actually starting to like 3.6 the most. Also, I love The Dude. Just throwing that out there.
