is it just me? - HTC Sensation

I don't know, the sensation has just seem boring now. I don't feel excited about anything that comes out from the devs anymore. Do you guys have this feeling too?

I guess I'm feeling it too. But don't get me wrong, I really appreciate what our devs still do. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that Sensation development is "mature" now. Outside of CM10, there really isn't anything new on the horizon for us, and even then I feel like CM10 will end up 90% complete just like CM9. By now, most of our devs no longer use Sensation as their primary device. So the fire just isn't there anymore.
Just wait until it's time for a new device. Then the excitement can begin all over again. One more year on my contract...

C'mon man we have plenty of dev around here, we have sense 3.6, sense 4, fully working cm9, paranoid android, miui, some senseless aosp rom, we have a lot of rom to choose, we even have cm10 (will wait for camera and tethering to work and voila we have fully working jellybean), look at other phone development, they want sense (except htc) , they dont have such great development like us.
C'mon this is 2011 phone, we still have a great dev here. Ok, we cant beat the legendary phone like HD2, but we still have a lot of choice here

Yeah I've got to say we have plenty off dev support here. I mean what more do you want? The only thing that we don't have for CM10 is a camera. Other than that we have touchwiz, miui, sense 4, GB, ICS, AOSP,AOKP,etc. There seriously isn't anything this phone doesn't have. If you think a conquered horizon isn't beautiful, then nothing may please you. Sure, there are new phones out, but very few will make ours look like a corded phone (aka its not even close to outdated yet). I'll start complaining when our hardware doesn't support the latest Android. Right now, no reason to

I'm just excited to see how fast cm10 is moving. With several miui versions I'm really excited about trying them out. Plus ssoon we will get sense 4.1 and may be a jellybean sense later on. And gnex is cheap as unicorn so I can upgrade to that once I'm done with the senny

Cm7 is fast and quite customizable.
Myt4g on pacquiao type roids.miui.panache.
My old Desire with CM7 on it has never been so fast! It's a really nice modified rom that's fast and doesn't have all the Sense bloatware on it.
That being said, I like Sense. And I'm happy with my Sensation now . But I might give CM7 a try just for kicks.
It's vanilla Android with small tweaks that make it great. You have a small ROM that is fast and made by a team of awesome coders.
CM goes way back with the first google phone. So allot of people know it.

I had an Eris before my current DInc2 and cm is crap for both. They have little to NO support for my phone and every time I run their ROM it fails as bad if not worse than the half assed alphas put there. Sure it has cool customization choices, but on my DInc2 it is worthless in my opinion until it is fully functional.
I (and you) should never settle for less than fully functional for something so "popular"
Sorry, usually my posts are much nicer than this. I just hate kool-aid.

The one good thing to come from CM7 is MIUI - which I'm quite looking forward to trying (although I probably go back to Sense)
Personally I am more of a fan of the CM7 based ROMs that come after. Each developer gets a chance to put there own unique touch to the cm7 based ROMs. I remember from the nexus one days after cm dropped the ROMS came flying in with everyone's personal touch. The CM7 code provides a rock solid base with all features working.

[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

Lack of devs for the sensation?

I don't know of there's hindering issues with development but I feel like all there is out is sense roms. It dissappoints me.. and most of the sense roms are plain.. the same. I'm not trying to start a war or anything, just wondering. I miss fully customized aosp roms and including sense.

(Speaking as a lurker) It seems like development has slowed down a bit in recent weeks, but I think there's plenty of roms out there. I'm not sure what you're exactly looking for in a rom, but between CM7 and the huge amount of Sense roms out there (that have been themed or for which you can download skins for), I've been more than satisfied.
What other roms u want? There's aosp, cm7 nd miui
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
lack of devs? are you serious? what else can you ask for
it sure has slowed down a bit cause were all waiting for ICS and theres pretty much nothing new at the moment
ICS isnt that impressive imo, but im sure it wont be long till theres a few ports out, maybe a week or so... you could always learn and make one yourself
lack of devs lol you guys have more than the evo 3d
Aren't there are over 20 ROMs in the dev section? Sense, CM7, MIUI, AOSP that are anywhere from stock to Frankenstein'd out.
Sent from my HTC Sensation
One thread lists 32 ROMs, how many do you feel there should be for one phone?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I have CM7, and we'll probably be getting CM9 in a few weeks, so I'm happy with the current state of affairs. It was worse for the original Samsung Galaxy S - that thing didn't get any truly custom ROMs for months!
Well,yes,development has slowed down, there no new leaks to work from
Cm7 and miui are being polished at the moment.
As it stands NOW, sensation is a device for sense fans, choice of sense ROMs is huge.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
There is no point in this thread.
There is a multitude of roms to choose from in the development section.
No new leaks means development has to slow down.

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...

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

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.

[Q] Help compiling a PARANOID Android ROM On CM9/CM10 JB.

I was wondering if someone could compile a cm9 version (with the permission of the developer that is)
I really like this ROM but its not being updated, and I'm unsure how to get the camera working in it.
I hope its not asking a lot or interfering with any regulations by asking this. I would ask and do this myself but I am still new to some of this so I have a lot more learning to do.
Thanks for your time, and for reading.

Why not have it based on Jelly Bean? The main camera IS working in bruce's builds. ICS seems so yesterday and counter to the groundbreaking cutting-edge nature of Paranoid Android. But then again I laugh and scoff when I see a Sense 3.6 ROM posted. I'd be a lot less interested in Paranoid Android if it was based on CM9 instead of CMX

I agree with you. Cm9 seems cool, but outdated by JB. If I had instructions on how to do it, it would be a great task for me. I work, so doing this would be on my spare time but it is better than nothing don't you think? I also think that having more than one person would be a lot less of a hussle. But that is just my opinion.
With that said, If anyone is willing to work with me, I would greatly appreciate it. I don't know much, but hey, we all need a new experience

Also if you look at the Official Paranoid Android guide to porting:

Using CM9 you'd be working with a VERRRY old 1.5 Paranoid Android Codebase.
1.6+ (They're on v 1.99 currently) requires JB.
If the OP for the Sensation port could publish his how-to on how he ported it, there are SEVERAL of us in the community that are willing to help maintain this ROM going forward.
Ah Ok. I just assumed you could port it back but rid of all the buggs I love that browser and bottom status bar.

Yeah Phablet mode and Tablet mode are game changers. I'm really surprised there hasn't been more interest by Sensation CMX devs putting this into their ROM. It would be really cool if the Dargun ROM incorporated this, but that's just wishful thinking on my part
Yeah fursure. I liked sessimis or whatever its called he had cm9 and sense working so you get cm look and beats, and all that good software.
