Need Help before buying sensation xe - HTC Sensation

Hello,
I am about to buy a sensation xe. Have few questions:
1. all roms in android dev section will work on the sensation xe?
2. How is the battery life? Can you tell me the average screen on time?
3. Are the jelly bean custom roms good? DO they lag and bugs?
4. Do I need to check any bootloader version or anything before buying?

Ahlan
Most roms will work, but those made for the sensation XL.
JB was never released or even leaked from HTC, so they all have atleast some issues. Though as any rom in dev, they are getting better all the time. Bruce's rom looks very well IMHO.
As for the battery, the one comming with the Xe is reasonable and would get you through the day, but it's really usage dependent.
As for bootloader, no need to check. You can always flash another. See my signature for more details.

[Q] Sensation XE Stock ROM for Sensation?

Hey guys,
I have been locking for a stock ROM of the Sensation XE but all I found where custom ROMS based on the XE.
Are there any working stock Sensation XE ROMs? Couldn't find anything with the search function.
1. S-OFF
2. Super CID
3. Flash the XE RUU
You now have a 100% stock XE, albeit with 1.2GHz rather than 1.5GHz

The Sensation and the Sensation do have the same hardware except for the battery right?
Is it possible to clock the Sensation to 1,5GhZ?
Yep, but you need a custom kernel for it

Is there a ROM which is basically stock but has a custom kernel clocked to 1,5 GhZ?
Kind of turning the Sensation into a Sensation XE?
Yep, InsertCoin or Android Revolution HD (not the Sense 3.5 versions)
OR, my stock XE ROM + the recommended kernel

flash EddyOS stock xe Rom then just flash a different kernel over it. You cannot I don't think have pure stock and custom kernel.

Hi guys,
first of all: i am using currently Android Revolution HD 4.1.9 on my HTC Sensation.
but, i am tired of flashing custom roms and looking for the "best" rom.
Now, i guess i want backt to Stock Rom. With flashing Eddies Rom is it possible to receive OTA's in the future (because of coming ICS).
Thx for short reply...

Look the thing is, as soon as any hint of ICS ROM test or official gets leaked, I guarantee that within 2 days there will be custom ROM's so best stick to non stock for now.
To answer your question, no I don't think it possible to receive OTA updates on EddyOS

Ok MrAngry ;-) yes i know when ICS is released the wolves will come out of the cave and produce a custom rom

Yes, with a rooted phone you can install custom a Kernel or Rom.
Download and install ROMmanager. This will allow you to install Clockworkrecovery. Once that is installed you can download your choice of Kernel - I can personally recommend Bricked or Faux kernels - found elsewhere here on xda. Save the downloaded file to your sd card and select the Install ROM from SD card option in ROM manager.
NOTE: Before you install this, make a NAND backup - you will get prompted by Rom manager - this will allow you to restore back to your current position if you experience any problems or are unhappy with the update.

Sensation XE

Hey guys,
I'm a little bit confused. Which forum should I follow in order to get custom roms on my Sensation XE? Should I follow the Sensation forums, or the Sensation XL forums? I know that the XE isn't available in the US, but surely there are roms for the XE as well?
Sensation XE is the same as Sensation.
I have the Sensation XE too ...
My CPU says it's clocked @ 1.5GHz as standard ...
What happens " If " we put a custom ROM on.? - Standard Sensation is clocked @ 1.2GHz
I'd like the new ROM to be the same speed when I check the phone, or even better if possible.?

The majority of Sensation ROMs are set to 1.5GHz since the XE came out.
I'd suggest Android Revolution HD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
Yeah, I was planning on Revolution HD, those guys always do great stuff.
I do have a question though. What about my phone's firmware? I just got my Sensation XE today (sealed) so do I need to downgrade or upgrade to a certain firmware?
Just go to www.revolutionary.io
one click root, worked fine first time for me on XE
if you have any issues, come back and check on XDA but it will no doubt be fine...
You should first root your phone. Use the link from the member above me. then use Android Revolution HD Rom. Those are excellent better battery life, etc...

Optimus to sensation

Hi all in sensation.....
I have just bought new HTC sensation over my LG optimus one...just over excited about receiving
Tell me some good and worse thing about it...also about rooting ,best Rom and all.....
I just found some links by searching but the original user experience review can only given by a daily user tell me some....
The good: POWER!
The bad: Battery life.
ROMs: there are many good ones. Personally I use Insert Coin because it comes with extras out of the box. OpenSensation has improved a LOT. There is a great tutorial for SOff Root Recovery etc. Read it and follow it carefully, you won't have problems.

Thank you guys for saying that warning....
did u try
MIUI
cyanogenmod 7.2 .?
Is there a development going for cyanogenmod 9.0.?
I switched from a optimus t(p 509, same thing essentially)
The while process is slightly different, but more work involved. I was running iridium vanilla for a while on optimus, then mik's cm 7.1, then since January the cm nightlies.
Now I'm running virtuous inquisition with faux's kernel (had Sebastianfm's one, but testing this one). It's so far the best aosp hybrid, sense-less

Cm9 is being worked on by kmobs, vorbeth is doing his own with collaboration with cm team. Since ics just came to the sensation, cm9 is starting up, keep your eye out for when the nightlies begin.

My first Android phone was the optimus one. It has the best battery life IMHO...
On the sensation>>
Good: Development support, Screen, Speed, hardware design.
Bad: terrible battery life! I mean really bad. stock battery can only last me 4 hours on heavy usage. And low speaker volume.
Roms and Kernels: I'm using ARHD now, stable. Best kernel is Bricked and faux.
Upgrade to ICS if you haven't already. ICS made my phone fly.
If you have the money, buy some bigger capacity aftermarket battery like from Anker. The stock HTC battery ia dork

Yes. 4EXT touch recovery is now the standard recovery for ICS roms. Works very good.

If you prefer AOSP over Sense, then OpenSensations build of CM9 is daily driver material. If you prefer Sense, Sense-O-Matic allows you to choose what parts of sense you install right in the ROM installation in recovery. Both are great. I go between them when I feel like switching the look and feel of the phone. Also, use and get used to 4EXT Recovery. There is a controller app for the recovery in the market and is totally worth the 2 or 3 bucks it cost. Hope all this helps. I just got my sensation about a month ago. Came over from a G2X and couldn't be more pleased.

Yes. There are add-ons for non XE ROMs. You can also get Beats by flashing an XE ROM on your Sensation (you will need SuperCid though)
I'm writing this from a normal Sensation with an XE ROM (in my case Insert Coin)

Can I get some input on this Rom like how stable and fast it is.Just an overall rating of what you think of the Rom
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
I really like this Rom personally....I'm extremely impressed with battery life on this Rom. ALso extremely impressed with the ota updating of a ROM , if viper has a upstate you simply use the software update check And the update is sent to you ota. The whole process takes two minutes! And it updates flawlessly!! It has some special things like venom hub, and venom tweaks. It's brand new and the developers are actively fixing things if it's a issue. They were speedy to come up with the first upstate to repair some issues. They listen to the problems if any and make changes if necessary to the Rom.I'm impressed with Many Aspects of this Rom . It's always best to try it out for yourself and see what you think. Everyone's different and everyone has different opinions. So try it out and come to your own conclusion. Personally I really like it since the update! Hope this helps you some ! Remember It's always best to come to your own conclusions by trying things for yourself!

What version is the bricked kernel that on the Rom standard?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
3.036 bricked 3.0 v 1.36 This is the kernel information for the stock kernel for viper Rom.
It's given me personally the best battery life I've ever had with everything set to default. I also turn off led, sync only email , turn off feedback on keyboard, turn off logging, turn backlight down to dim. All these little things help too . Hope this helps you.

I would suggest that you flash the rom yourself and feel what fits your taste.. Just flash the rom with the correct procedures and hopefully you won't experience the bugs being reported by other users.. We have to understand that viperss was just released recently and expect some minor glitches like any other rom.. The chefs are continously working very hard to achieve great user satisfaction.. Who are we to tell them what to do, we are lucky they are sharing their hard work for free..
just an opinion..
That's what Um doing today.

Hi! Take "HTC sensation all in one toolkit" for root,s-off and for a good rom, you must try Elegancia last rom.Good luck!
I've been using the Viper ROM for a few months. Stable and fast.

i tried lots of rom but my choice Albino's CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 ROM. If you start this rom, you won't search another.
The best way try them one by one and decide which suit you better.
Sense Rom:
ViperS
DarksSense
AOSP
Albino Rom
Miui by s89
The choice up to you

I've been nosing around, trying out different ROMs on my Sensation 4G and by far the best battery life I've gotten has been from flashing the CM10 nightlies (right off the CM site) and then flashing the Sultan Kernel for JB/AOSP over it. When idling it drains extremely slowly. For instance, last night, I was at 59% after 9 hours of heavy use, I left it alone for three hours then came back and it was still at 59%.
Granted, perhaps there's a bug with the battery reporting software, but I don't think so.
There are a lot of good ROMs in the development area, though. It really depends on whether you like Sense or not and then what features you're looking for.
