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!

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
Hello all,
I have a few quick questions to ask. I had recently "test-drived" the Sensation XE and found it to be a really good phone for me, therefore I will be purchasing it very soon. Although, I really dislike the ROM and Launcher as they drain battery like mad. Just wondering, currently what is the best ICS rom for the Sensation (XE) and also are there any problems that may occur when it comes to actually using an ICS rom on a Sensation (as all the roms i've looked at are currently in their beta stages).
Thank you for any answers provided.
Comprehensive thread of ICS problems and fixes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405457
I'd probably say ARHD is the best but do have a look around and see what is best for you.
I'm having trouble deciding if I should get the XE or SGS2, what do you rekon?
Both phones are very good. My wife has SGS2, I have her tmo employee 1st ed. sensation. ( i believe 1st ed., prob same as 1st retail shipped) i digress.
The sensation is rooted and has been through the works with almost every customer rom/kernel here.
We recently switched phones for two days and I went to work on her SGS2. For me its personal preference. After 2 days with juggernaut-sgs2, I missed the sensation.
Both phones work well and both companies have updated versions of them both.
If your willing to wait a month or two I'm sure that another phone will be around to outdate both the SGS2 and Sensation.
The sensation XE uses the same roms as the Normal sensation as the screen size is the same and stuff.
I'd say the best rom is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408351
The best thing to do for is to try all the roms till you find one that you like.
I prefer insert coin. A lot of updates and the forum thread is more clean. Because mike(dev of android revolution hd) gives the changelog before dating up his rom, there is alot of trash to be found in his thread and a lot of double posts. But in the end its a question of your own taste. Greets
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'm new to phone rooting, but I used a guide on this website to root my Boost Mobile HTC EVO Design 4g (not currently active on any carrier, so I'm not too worried about messing up carrier-related stuff). Anyway, I would like to Install a custom rom on it since I'm not a fan of HTC Sense 3.6. My Rom of choice would be PAC Rom, but I would settle for CyanogenMod, or anything else that's pretty good that any of you would recommend. Anyway, I've found these roms for HTC Evo, but not the Evo Design. Will a rom for the evo work on the Evo Design? I've also heard that the Hero S has the same support for roms as the evo design, but I'm not sure how much easier it will be to find roms for that. Basically, my question is, How can I get PAC Rom or CyanogenMod for the HTC Evo Design 4g?
Any/All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I hope This phone gets a lot more attention in the near future due to being the launch phone for Freedom Pop's FREE phone service.

Unfortunately, there is not much support for this phone. I have found support here for it : androidforums.com/evo-design-all-things-root. However, there seems to be one active dev and it is stuck on 4.0.3. Having said that, the ROMs there do work on this phone. The phone is already rooted with CWM 5 already on it. The Messaging app uses a custom version of CSIPSimple and is downloadable in the Play Store. I am currently on the ForgottenKingdom ROM (Kingdom is the phone's codename).
Hi Forum
Are there any good HTC Sensation ROMS out there ? I had MIUI installed on mine and loved it but then quickly hated it for two reasons. First, I couldn't remove icons and second I could not pay for themes that I wanted because I don't live in CHINA !! Any ROMS similar to MIUI ? I want a fast, fluid, stable ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
