Hi,
The thing is to flash mods using the same base as your ROM.
If you check my sig , I have battery mods for ARHD base 2.3.4 and 2.3.5
Check with your ROM'S dev,to see which base you are using,and then flash the appropriate mod.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL A MOD
For beats I installed THIS MOD ,because I am on base 2.3.5 using Sense 3.5
Or you could install ARDH 3.6.3 XE which contains beats anyway.

You can install anything you want, you just have to know what it is you want to do. Lets say you want to have beats audio (using the previous posters example). You know you have a stock ROM, version 2.3.4 most likely, so just find a beats audio only mod for 2.3.4 bases running Sense 3.0.
Or, as the previous poser says, you can install a whole ROM that already includes it. ARHD basically simulates a Sensation XE by removing the under-clocking on the CPU thats there stock bringing it up to 1.5 Ghz, adding beats audio, and overall just smoothing out the ROM. It looks the same as the stock ROM, it just works better.
The best thing to do is just make a backup of how it is now through recovery, then try stuff out and see what you like. You can always restore your backup and it will be right back to how it was before you did anything.

EDIT: Saw you came from ARHD. Sorry to hear about the bad luck. But yes, you can install mods without a full ROM.

Yeah I did tried 3 of the most recent arhd Rom, it is smooth and fast but has too many glitches on my phone. I tried installing the recommended radio it does fixed my signal issue, but after 3 days of using my phone keeps goin on a black screen when somebody calls me or text me so I decided to revert to stock

Interesting. Did you try turning the CPU back down to 1.2 GHz? I have ran 3.6.1 and only had one reboot before I switched to the beta kernel, never had any issues with 3.6.2 which came with the same kernel I upgraded to with 3.6.1, but I switched to bricked 0.91 kernel and its even better. Tried 3.6.3 and had a bunch of FC problems and issues so I restored back to 3.6.2.
Basically they all have worked well for me, but I've read of some people needing to stay at 1.2 GHz because of problems you have described.

I haven't tried restoring to 1.2ghz , I just restored my phone back to stock I got tired of trying all the versions and seems all of the versions I flashed had issues on my phone, don't get me wrong but I do love the speed and smoothness of arhd its just those fcs, unstable signal and not to mention the black screen issue. But like you said I haven't tried using different kernel I just used the one that came with the Rom and the other faux kernel that one of xda member suggested the beta 10. I even tried the insertcoin 3.3.9 and same issue with signal. I'm on tmobile carrier I don't know if that causes the signal issue with most of the Rom I flashed.

Well, I'm on T-Mobile also and have had no issues, thats strange. Did you flash the recommended radio also? Maybe you need to try a different one if so.
I really like the Bricked kernel, it runs faster/smoother and the battery life is better than the Faux kernels I used - at least what I've seen so far. I run Sense 3.0 so Im limited to Bricked 0.91, but its still plenty good from what I've seen. He is developing more for Sense 3.5 kernels at this point I think.
Anyway, if it was me, I would try one of the ARHD ROMs with a bricked kernel (the kernel can also affect your reception I believe). If you still have issues, try clocking it back to 1.2 Ghz. I too ran IC for a little while, but finally just settled back to ARHD for a few reasons.

Currently running ARHD 3.6.2 with bricked 0.91 kernel at 1.5 GHz and the mods in my sig with whatever the recommended radio is in the ARHD thread. I have no issues and use it quite a bit every day. I might give 3.6.4 a shot though.

Can I ask:
What was your signal like when you first got your phone out-of-the-box?

Hi,
Have you tried a custom ROM with the original radio?
I know it won't be matched,but sometimes it's a needs must situation.
Use the radio that will give you the BEST signal.
It might just be that it's the only one that will work properly in YOUR area.

Hi,
So,what combination of ROM and radio was the best for signal?
And with your current set-up,do you ALWAYS have bad signals?
Or does it vary from area to area?
I have recently rooted my sensation and installed the insert coin ice cream sandwich rom. However there seems to be a bit of lag while using it
Has anyone else noticed this, and know.of a kernel which works with this Rom, so I can increase the CPU frequency?
I have tried the standard xe kernel and the bricked kernel 1.4 but whenever I install them, they either do not work. Or my Rom gets held on the bears audio screen and does nothing else. This also happens when I attempt to install a theme from xda!

InsertCoin ICS Rom
The lags and other bugs are all well noted on Baadnews' forum as you will find. The ICS Roms are all in beta stage at the moment and so far as I am concerned, there is nothing you can do about it for now. Maybe in the course of time, improvements will be made.
If you want a "perfect" Rom I'd say stick with any of his gingerbread roms for now. I flashed the ICS but after trying it for tow days I decided I could not live with the kinks and went back to gingerbread.
Ahh okay. Thank you

This is because the ICS kernels are built on linux kernel 3.0.13
We have only kernel source for android 2.3.4 which runs linux kernel 2.6.14
Therefore no custom kernels will work with ICS at the moment

I have recently bought a used Sensation. Not yet rooted. I am waiting for the official ICS update from HTC. Previously I was using a Desire and after rooting it I tried various Sense 3, Sense 3.5 ROM's on it. One common problem I found was that the camera and flash were not synchronized. i.e. the photo would be taken milliseconds after the flash went off. So the pictures would come out dark. There are a few threads on this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338800&highlight=dark
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379500&highlight=dark
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311702&highlight=dark
And none of the developers were able to solve this problem.
Do the Sensation ROM's also face this problem? I want to try out a few ICS ROM's after rooting but I dont want its camera to be messed up like my desire's by installing custom ROM's. So I am hesitant.
Would appreciate feedback from custom Sensation ROM users here whether their camera / flash are working properly.
AFAIK that is a kernel issue, not a ROM issue and I dont think it affects any custom ROM's for sensation
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
That is true. The issue is present in almost all ROM's. So it cant be the ROM that is at fault. Any more users here would like to share their experience? Thanks in advance.
I use Android Revolution HD 3.6.11 on my HTC Sensation, and the camera/flash timing works fine. I haven't used an ICS ROM yet.
I have been reading posts about ICS ROMS and it seems that there is no perfectly working ICS ROM yet. Is it true?
And if you saying that ROM is stable that means that you have no problems at all with it? No app forse closing, random reboots or sense misbehavior?
Sorry if my post didn't belong here or if there are topics about this, I would appreciate if you post links to that threads

i have been using the androidHD ISC rom with 3.12 firmware and the only issue i can see is that the effects in the camera do not work. but i believe that has been fixed now with the 3.24 firmware package. 3d games work such as shadowgun and dark, no apps have FC'ed on me yet and no random reboots either. just make sure you make a nandroid backup and just test a few ICS roms out and see which one suits your needs.............................sudeki300
i'm now currently on 4.0.3 with ARHD 6.1.1
it is very smooth and i have not discovered any bugs so far.

Flash them all and see which one you like best. Thats pretty much the only way to know.

The ICS roms are certainly stable enough for daily driver. The 3.12 based roms had a few issues, one being the use of camera effects, this was causing the camera to force close. These issues have been fixed in the new 3.24 based roms. I can't find a single issue in either arhd 6.1.1 or insertcoin 4.4.3. I haven't had a single force close or strange behavior from any part of the software

I have flashed Virtuous Inquisition v3.0.0 this morning (on my XE) and I must say, it is fantastic and beats other roms out there in terms of speed, being stable, no FC's etc.
If you don't mind that HTC Sense (the launcher etc.) is missing, I would go for this if you are wanting to try out ICS.
I have tried ARHD, InsertCoin and the RUU before this, but they were not to my liking and I found them very slow and unresponsive.
Please note, I flashed the 3.24 firmware.
I am using Leedroid 6.0.0 and have been using all the other leedroid ICS releases.
My only problem is a fc of soundset on startup and thats it.
So yes it is safe.
Thanks guys for answers I'm using now ICS ROM (InsertCoin 4.4.4 thanks to baad) and my experience is even better than it was with custom GB ROM. I guess it's partly because of me using Titanium Backup correctly now xD Everything is working and no lags

Sorry to be a bother but I seem to have this problem.
I am unable to connect to any other WiFi network other than my previously setted up WiFi address during First Boot. Could you help me troubleshoot about this problem?

I have a similar issue, mine loses wifi connection often since 6.2.1 XE, the wifi signal is at full, but fails to obtain IP Address most of the time except on the first wifi i set it up with, most likely another one of those bugs HTC is working on so someone can take a copy home and give it to us... cant wait for full ICS from HTC source, dont get me worng, the current RUU leaks are good, but not perfect.
HTC Hurry up please, Me with my Sensation and my Girlfriend with her EVO 3D want ICS without bugs...
im also in arhd xe version.but havent got any wifi issue

I have a feeling it has to do with the ROM.
I have flashed SebastianFM's kernels, new & old radios, and I still seem to have the same problem.
It is definitely not due to the Firmware since I have flashed multiple other ROM's but only ARHD seem to have the problem.
What I'm suspecting is that this problem is due to the mismatched Firmware and ROM since the rom is based on 3.25 and the firmware is 3.24. But who am I to say that.
Hope mike has a fix for that soon~ :x
then try it by flashing 1.5ghz kernel
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
I have flashed both kernels. Even the ones on Sebastian's thread.
try WiFix (search google for the xda thread for it) or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436683
I tried prior to your post but I still seem to have the same problem. Oh well...
