Hi just ordered a htc sensation anyone recommend the best roms (performance/battery life), i don't know if this is true but i heard that the XE version is just a overclocked HTC sensation so can you recommend me any Roms based on the Stock XE ICS,
Yeah, the XE "just" has an overclock to it, as well as integrated beats audio EQ.
I prefer the stock rom, because of battery life and stability. As far as i know, there is no easy root method for the sensation with ICS, so i have to wait till i get root access. I switched from an xperia x10 mini pro, where the rooting process as well als recovery installation was simpler then simple. The HTC sensation is, compared to that, quite difficult to handle.
I would recommend you to just stay on the stock rom, because of battery life and stability. Not that the ROMs are crap or something, but you have to know what fits your needs. Just look around and read carefully any root/unlock instructions
viper
try viper s rom and faux kernel 9 and enjoy your phone
If you are aiming for battery life and stability I suggest you go for a senseless ROM like HyperNonSense or Virtuous Inquisition
For battery life any sense 3.6 Rom and flash stock kernel on top.

Its subjective, the best ROM for you might not be the Best ROM for someone else, same goes with kernels.
This is because everyone uses the phone in different ways and not all phones are made equal (eg some can overclock more than others). Therefore its pretty useless to ask which is the best ROM or which ROMs should you try because people are going to tell you what works best for them, the only way to find the best ROM for you is to try a few and see which one you like best.
As for sensation and xe. The XE actually is not overclocked, the XE just runs the qualcom CPU chip at its stock speed (1.5GHz) whereas the sensation is actually underclocked to 1.2GHz. The other hardware differences is the red LED and speaker grill instead of grey/white.
Software differences, the XE has a beats wallpaper, no dice app and 2 values changed in the code of ext.jar and widget.jar in the method of get_PyramidLE_flag, it returns a value of 0x1 (true) whereas the normal sensation returns a value of 0x0 (false).
If your woundering about beats audio, its just an EQ profile, nothing special and its not exclusive to the XE either because if you replace the ext.jar and widget.jar files on a sensation ROM with the ones from an XE ROM, HTC music app will let you have beats audio effect even on normal sensation

Hi,
I have a question:
Can be used on the "Desire" S a Sense of Transportation Romz XE can be drawn without the Beats by Dr. Dre from the Romz software and integrate it into the "Desire" S Romz.
My English is not so good. Sorry

Rumour has it this has recently been ported over to the Desire HD from the Sensation XE ROM (I do not know how successful it is though), so I suppose it is only a matter of time until it arrives here on the DS forums.
I am also looking forward to this day!
Not sure about usefullness of it...
Wait Wait
OK can i use a Sensetion Rom for the Desire S

you can't flash a rom from the sensation section, but if it was ported you could use it. But we do already have the sensation rom ported. Virtuous unity is the one that comes to mind but there is a whole list of sense 3.0 roms, even sense 3.5.
Also, i always thought beats was more of a hardware thing. On the HP touchpad, it has beats but when you turn it off there is no difference whatsoever (possible marketing gimmick) although the sound on the touchpad is crystal clear
found something from desire hd section:
http://www.mediafire.com/?382u5cyyy8a1fpa
It's a beats audio flashable zip taken from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17639297#post17639297
I would assume it's desire hd only but not sure
If you check the thread there's also a lot more you can see.
WOW! intersteing find!
there are like 10 avaliable zips for it... which to choose?
not gonna flash yet though, dont want a non-bootable [hone. will wait for a desire s version. any brave man up to try it though?
Is it possible to port the HTC Rezound rom to the Sensation? The reason I'd like to see this is because it has Sense 3.5 with native beats audio. A rom with native beats audio sounds A LOT better than a rom with the beats add on. For example, the stock Sensation XE rom by EddyOS sounds a lot better than any of these other roms with beats audio that just use an add on. It would be great to have the best of both worlds with an HTC Rezound rom, or even a Sensation XL rom.
same question
And what would be the advantage from an Rezound Port instead of the SensationXE Port from EddyOS? Ok, it has Sense 3.5.
But we'll see Sense 3.5 (or maybe Sense 4.0?) with our update to ICS...
The cookers would have to adjust the resolution (Rezound has 720p) and change the Kernel because of different hardware. Beside that, i see no really advantage of "original" Beats Audio (the version from EddyOS isn't "original" at all, the "original" Beats Audio Software only supports Beats Headphones) instead of an addon.
The resizing costs a much of time, so i dont think that there'll be a Rezound Port for Sensation.
Hi guys
since yhesterday been reading all the posts and threads regarding the sensation xe
Apart form using pyramid3d rom i felt as if the roms designed are a step lower than stock rom. I have a samsung galaxy s2 and have had many android phones so i do know abit. Even though i still found it confusing in original section.
Iv been reading reviews and emailed HTC according to the reviews and HTC the XE is hardware 1.5 and not software overclocked and from what iv been told are slightly different. Plus i noticed that the audio beats on most roms is not as good as the stock XE rom closest i got is pyramid.
Devs prob know better than all of us would realli appreciate if some of the experts who have been here for a while to clarify this once and for all.
Thanks for Reading guys.

Honestly, i'm not a dev, but as i know in hardware part original Sensation and XE one are the same. The difference is in CPU speed, but chipset is the same and in original sensation CPU speed is just underlocked with sofware to 1.2 Ghz.
Which part of this question is to do with the development of a ROM? Same rules apply to the normal Dev forum - it's for ROM threads only. Questions go in Q&A or General
I've just won a used HTC Sensation z710a (Bell) on eBay! I've been using an Acer Liquid E for 1.5 years, so I've never had to deal with any of this confusion with these "submodels".
As I understand it, the T-Mobile phone is the z710e, and the Bell one is the z710a, and these phones are exactly the same except for the HSDPA frequencies. Are there certain mods that can only be used with one submodel and not the other? I'd love a specific answer for each of ROMs, kernels, radios, etc.
I've also seen some posts about "firmware". With respect to the Sensation (and maybe all Android phones), is this referring to something different than the ROM? If so, again, is it submodel-specific?
If the answer to the above Q's is NO (i.e., z710a vs. z710e doesn't matter), what about mods for the Sensation XE?
Thanks for the help!
Edit: I know about SuperCID, I'm asking if there'll be any problems even with SuperCID.

From what I have found here on the forums, no, there is no submodel specifc ROMS etc. like what you are worried about. There are differences between the sensation and the sensation xe, but only in terms of ROMS.

Firmware is what is used to run the ROMS if you want to put it that way. The latest version of android - Icecream sandwich (ICS) - requires certain firmware to run, a different firmware to gingerbread. Firmware is dependant on your CID, not model, but if you're super CID'd then any 3.32 firmware will do.

ROMS can be based on the Sensation or the Sensation XE. The only difference is the XE has beats audio and runs it's cpu at 1.5GHz, while the non-XE at 1.2GHz.
Custom ROMS however give you the choice of running your cpu at 1.5 if you want, even on a standard sensation device (as the cpu chips are exactly the same). Mods and other themes are based on the ROM you chose to install (i.e. ARHD or Insertcoin), not hardware as there is no real difference between xe and non-xe devices.
I have a standard sensation running an xe version of ARHD 6.5.5. with my cpu at 1.5GHz. no problems to report yet, so i can assume you're good to go!
Thanks for all the info!
Hi
I want to start using my Sensation XE as a dedicated PMP (my Cowon sadly died...) and am looking for ideas about which ROM to use. I never felt the need to root or flash the Sensation when using it as a phone so I don't know much about different Sensation ROMs.
Ideally I want something which is very lean and efficient, maximum battery is a must, and with no bloated extras. Any suggestions as to what ROMs to look at?
Cheers!
