Dear sensation users,
In the next month i'm gonna change phone.
I think it's gonna be the Sensation XE because of the STARDARD large battery (I have read the batteries from evo 3d etc work) + all the gimmics
Do you guys think that the sensation roms will work on the XE? (i wan't to besure that i can flash leedroid and revolution)
Will HTC upgrade the HBOOT so Revolutionary won't work and we can't flash roms?
If these questions are too early to be answerd i will wait till the xe wil be released...
Thanks in advance!
I'm sure there will be devs to work on the xe to call it a priority for them is farfetched.
From what I read the xe hardware speaker wise doesn't change from sensation 4g. Which is what makes devs like mike1986 capable of creating roms to mimic the dre beats.
This is just my opinion but if your going to change just for the battery. Keep this in mind with ny sensation running ARHD 3.6.1 with bricked kernel_0.91 ny battery is running 20 hours easily with normal use and 8 with constant WiFi.
I do however like the red and black myself.
although I would say that the sensation 4g is on everyone's mind as far as developments goes and it would be ill advised to get an xe at this point. Sort of a lateral move I guess I would say.
Just my thoughts.

Yes, they are physically the same phone. The only difference is the new colour & beats software

Q 24: Why my "4G" icon is gone from the status bar?
A: My ROMs are based on WWE HTC ROMs. It means that there is no "4G" icon but you have HSPA+ connection with "H" icon anyway.

I'm saying as opposed to the sensation xe I'm not speaking in anyway on any other device. Just sticking to the question
Just wanted to clarify
According to the latest CM9 post (released today), the first batch of devices that will get CM9 are Samsung's Exynos powered units. Following that, Qualcomm MSM8660 based devices (such as the Sensation) will get some love. Now, I suspect we will get some CM9 action before the "official" release, but at least we can plan accordingly knowing that the Sensation is not at the top of the development list.

I am happy that sensation made the list, but sad that we will have to wait....

It's not about what "round" we're in, you missed the important part of that blog post...
Android 4.0 contains many internal changes that require updated graphics drivers. Unfortunately, these drivers are almost always closed-source and don’t appear until a device or devkit is released with them. For many devices, our hands are tied... As much as we’d like to stay ahead of the manufacturers, it may be a tie this time.

We'll get CM9 when we get more drivers from HTC.

HTC fans, though we love HTC phones but this ridiculous of HTC, we as a community must pressure HTC to release those drivers. Please ask Cyanogen Team what do they need.
Twitter @HTCdev @HTC demand them to release or our next phone will be Samsung.

I'm pretty tempted by CM9... I have been using ARHD up to now because I preferred Sense to the stock look, but I think I prefer the stock ICS look over what I've seen of Sense 4.0.
Cyanogen works for Samsung now so of course the samsung devices will get first dibs... im pretty certain my next phone will be a samsung phone due to this since i find cyanogenmod to be miles ahead of anything else

I think it would be more probable to think that since ICS was first released on a samsung phone that it would be easier/faster to get CM9 working on other samsung phones with the same processor..that is more likely to be the reason they are getting it first.

HTC has already come out and said they will release ICS on the Sensation (this quarter if I recall). That means the drivers will be available, and someone will be able to cobble together 'some sort' of CM9 ROM. However, my point was that the CM team is not planning on immediately releasing an "official" CM9 ROM for the Sensation in the near future.

Well the CM team doesn't work on one device at a time. Every device has their own maintainer. I believe that as soon as HTC releases ICS for the Sensation, someone from the CM team will finish CM9 and have it released for our phone.

Now I am testing at Sensation ICS [ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 6.2.1 and first day worked excellent. Battery was live more of 1h WIFI+ more of 5h 3G nonstop testing with install, sync and web browsing.
But i need some excelent ROM to my EVO 3D GSM.

Just so everyone knows, CM has still not officially released a "stable" version of CM7 for the Sensation. Right now the only version available is "alpha", and it doesnt look like they are going to continue working on it. Based on that, I suspect it will likely be summer (at the EARLIEST) before we get official CM9 support.

I've got a question. I posed this question in a different thread, but thought that it'd spark an interesting discussion for T-Mobile customers.
HTC announced that they won't be releasing ICS until late March, but what about T-Mobile?
Do I have to wait until HTC releases ICS to T-Mobile, and then wait until T-Mobile decides to release ICS to the public via OTA?
That would really suck if we have to wait even more time for T-Mobile to bloat the crap out of ICS when HTC releases ICS in late March
EDIT:
Since people have interpreted my post incorrectly, here's a quick statement to address the issue -
You guys misunderstood me. Let me make this clear:
I am not bashing custom ROMs. I am not bashing developers. I know that devs put a lot of time and effort to bring custom ROMs to XDA members, and I greatly appreciate that.
I am not saying that an OTA update will be far superior to a custom ROM.
I choose not to root my phone and install a custom ROM because I have issues following directions. Inevitably, I would screw something up and have a phone with limited capabilities. I can't risk that happening to me, because my job requires me to have a fully functional phone 24/7.
I apologize if you guys took my post the wrong way. In no way did I mean any disrespect to XDA or developers of custom ROMs.
first off why are you waiting ics is out now
second yes tmob sprint att vr will always bloat it up with there stuff like wifi calling and there crap so ota is off by a few eeeks or months UNLESS YOU COME HERE look is dev section for ics cant miss it

You think I'm stupid or something? I KNOW that ICS custom ROMs are available right now.
I purposely choose not to install a custom ROM due to the countless issues that people report. I need a stable phone and my job requires me to have a functioning phone 24/7. I can't test out custom ROMs for that reason.
I'm waiting for ICS over OTA.
Last time HTC promised an OTA for the Sensation 4G (2.3.4), they were on time. I think they're probably working with T-Mobile to deliver it by March.
Well I think so to man .... All this help help **** I keep seeing after someone flashes a new Rom is getting old that's what u get for ****ing with the OS ... On the phone people should just wait for the real HTC ice cream ....
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
For custom ROM's on ICS, they are perfectly stable now, many hundreds of users are happy using them as daily drivers.
For T-Mobile, we alread have WiFi calling perfectly functional (which is lucky because T-Mobile havent updated their app since 2.3.4) so if you want to waste time waiting for OTA, that is up to you but you won't get anything a custom ROM doesn't already give you

That's a bit harsh and too much of a generalization. I'd be willing to bet money most of the "help help ****" you refer to is mainly because some people don't take the time to read the directions carefully before trying things out. I'm a bit paranoid myself and tend to read things over several times before trying something new. If you want to wait for the OTA that's your choice, just remember you don't get to complain about how long it takes
I am a T-Mobile USA user and I use ARHD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4 With no issues. My browser works, my GPS works, my email works, my camera /camcorder works, my WIFI calling works... please actually test a rom before you make a statement on how they don't work and you want a "stable" phone. All you have to do is make a backup of your current stock rom and flash a custom rom on your day off...
Most of custom sense roms are more stable than stock. The devs here have eliminated almost all the issues that HTC created. Custom roms are faster, have better battery life and make our phones work as they should. The majority of those people that complain and ask for help about stuff that they broke are lazy and dont take the time to read the instructions or even search for an answer! So you have to try something to judge it. The devs put a lot of time and effort on that builts and they do it for free!

It's really happening that people just ask without even searching. Most of them ask about common issues and it's impossible not to find an answer in a thread like ARHD 6.2.1 which has literally 5000+ pages of posts in it.

I *kinda* see where you're coming from there.
The thing is, people have the right to "**** with the OS" all they want since they paid a premium for the phone but some people flash ROMs without taking risks into account and then ***** about problems without trying to search for solutions in the forums but the way you put it was kind of elitist if you ask me.

Most of the issues in mike's ROM have been fixed by other's but mike doesnt update his ROM often so people are still posting about crap that has been solved.
Solution: dont always assume mike's ROM is the best, hunt around and find a different ROM you like

I don't want to sound crude, but if you know that ICS roms are available now, wouldn't you know that HTCs official RUU will be made into countless roms on this forum as soon as it's available?
I don't understand your question.
In all likely hood once HTC releases it most chefs would work from that. I don't know why they would need to wait for Tmobile just to cook a ROM based off of HTC source. The only useful thing you'd probably get from Tmobile is just radio info and maybe wifi calling if they make any changes.

He could of just joined XDA to gain some of the latest "Sensation 4g" news, maybe he's rooted other phones in the past, maybe he just likes to read upon development and he will eventually root and install a custom rom once he feels comfortable.
There's many reasons to be a member of XDA without a rooted phone. Many websites get their news from XDA first and then post it on their website. Why not just get the news directly from the source (XDA)?

I definitely get where your coming from. It takes time to get a custom ROM, flash it, and set up the home screens, and then realize you doing like htc locations being selected as default over Google maps, and then you have to search and find out how to change that. Once the official is out, you can just root, remove bloat you don't like,and not waste too much time. To each his own, that's the beauty of android, you can prefer to use it the way it comes, or get it cooked

Again like OP, it's your phone it's your choice on what to do with it. Seeing that you've already made close to a thousand posts, why leave now?
Can I still get the official ICS update on my tmo sensation 4g if I have it 's-off'ed and rooted?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
That's a tricky question. Android updates from T-Mobile have been known to brick rooted devices in the past, though I've never seen a fully unrecoverable brick happen this way. There have also been instances where devices with custom roms have not even been given the option to update. Beyond that though, there have been many updates that came out and did nothing more than update your phone and cause you to lose root.
That all being said, my suggestion is, if you REALLY want the T-Mobile ICS update, don't s-off your phone, and if it's too late for that, check the forums for people bricking their phones before you choose to update. Otherwise, get one of the great ICS ROMs available already (like Revolution HD using sense 3.6), and when the T-Mobile update comes out, get a new ROM based on that.
Whatever you do, patience is the key. Don't pounce on the update the second you get it.
Thanks for the reply Johnny, I appreciate it! I've seen some of your other posts and notice how helpful you've been. I like this sensation community, reminds me of the hd2 one I'm moving from.
right now I'm running stock everything, haven't done anything customized. At least yet I'm always nervous about rooting a new device since I'm unfamiliar.
Thanks again for the words of wisdom.

Hi all! My first post in xda developers forums.
Anyway, I'd like to ask about rooting regarding the Sensation XE. I've seen the tutorials on the forums as well as other sites, and most of them seem to say that rooting on XE is very similar to rooting the normal sensation since both of them have the same software. (with XE just having bigger battery, beats audio etc.)
However, some of my friends are saying that rooting an XE the sensation way gives the phone some problems. For example, he stated that certain functions such as bluetooth, 3G and/or hardware control would be missing, and I would have to choose a custom ROM. (which I don't want to do at this stage)
So, given that many of you here have messages sent from a sensation XE, I'd like to know how true my friend is. Can the XE be rooted the sensation way? Or if not, how else could it be done?
Many thanks in advance! ;D

First, on a slightly unrelated note, you'll probably find that quite a few messages that are signed from HTC Sensation XEs on this forum are actually people on regular HTC Sensations running Android Revolution HD, which effectively makes the phone think it is a Sensation XE. Which is pretty much the truth. The hardware is absolutely identical, minus the battery.
Anyway, back to your question; rooting the Sensation XE, as far as I know, is identical to rooting the Sensation. The only things that differ are the version codes and model numbers. ROMs in the Development Forum work completely interchangeably between the two models.
Go to the development forum, find the reference post on everything regarding superCID, rooting and gaining S-OFF, and follow every step as close as possible, and you will be fine. Pretty much guaranteed.
And head back here if you get stuck at any point.
