[Q] few questions about sensation XE

hi guys,
Im new to sensation XE and I have few questions about it.
first of all, its not my mobile its my girlfriends so i dont really have access to it 24/7 as i would like to it runs 2.3.4 sens 3.0
ive been reading through the process of rooting and different roms just to have everything clear before i start to mess about with it lol
right so.... which rom would you recommend ( very stable as she s a girl and fast cos she s a geek too ) ?
is there any other difference between sens 3 and 3.5 apart from panorama mode??
and finally, is it possible to undervolt it in the CWM or just through the setvsel ??
one more thinng i forgot about .....is swype available on sensation? i ve seen trace thing on her phone but couldnt really get it working ( only 2 mins of trying as she had to go to work )
thanks a lot for help
regards,

There are many stable Roms... Sense 3.5 is minor improvement in ui from 3.0... I like 3.5 more
there are several stable ROMs... I like insertcoin and stock by Eddy the most though most have proven to be very good and stable...
To underclock you have to flash custom kernels...like faux and bricked kernel...
Faux kernel comes built-in ARHD ROM... Many others have custom roms... RCmix and elegancia Roms are awesome too.. Not to forget the ARHD which has its own beauty...
You can install any ROM with stock kernel and flash custom kernel..
For girls i would suggest you stick to Stock kernel... I found that most stable and gives good battery life...

thanks a lot it looks like the process is a bit different to my moto defy ( happy owner ) ...btw is it the same as on moto defy that if you flash newest stock rom there is no chance of downgrading ?
so there is no chance of undervolting and overclocking the stock rom with stock kernel ?
do you know where i can download a stock rom from just in case something would go wrong??
sorry for so many questions

Rooting S-off is the simplest procedure... There are several guides to do that in Android development.. Follow the one by x-Viper-x
Make sure you are on hboot 1.8 or below...
Here is guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
There is no downgrading problem...u can easily shift from sense 3.5 to 3.0 (2.3.5 to 2.3.4) but Only if you upgrade your hboot by flashing latest RUU, you can't downgrade that...
Just don't flash official RUU roms .. They can be flashed for warranty sake only... ONLY flash stock Rooted roms by EddyOS if you want pure stock experience without upgrading hboot/radio...
Here are Eddyos stock rooted ROM threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=1852412
If you really want official RUU then follow the thread below... Find your radio, software version and match with files on site, download and flash it...but it will relock (s-on) your device..and latest ones might upgrade your hboot... Then revolutionary method might not work to s-off...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
Stock kernels can't be underclocked ...only customs have the ability and u can overclock that too

Thanks a lot jjdoctor, i wanted to ask about RUU roms but you ve made it already a bit clearer
although the stock kernel cannot be undervolted, can I install some mods on it ? suck as 1% step battery or change a battery icon or install amaze camera ??
thanks again and im going to read some more stuff

[Q] Can somebody help me (re: flashing ICS)

Hello guys, i'm new to the whole flashing thing.
basically.. i want to have ICS on my device, so i figured if i flash
"InsertCoin 4.0.3 IceCreamSandwich Sense 3.5 BEATS | EPIC"
I'd get it right, BUT..
my bootloader is S-On, what if i need to return it under warranty, how easy is it to fix it back so HTC don't know, and can someone run me through flashing that particular rom?
Is this all i need?

Read this, it contains all the instructions you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

I recommend that you use ARDH 5.0.2 - the links below contains all the info you need, on how to gain s-off and flash the rom.
Guide to S-off, Installing ClockWork, PermRoot, SuperCID & Flashing http://tinyurl.com/3vd9dgg
ARDH 5.0.2 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4
Just be sure to follow the instructions, and do not hurry it!
Device: HTC Sensation - S-off - Rooted - 32Gb sd
ROM: ARHD 5.0.2 ICS + no-sense
Kernel: Stock
Radio: 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2

Congrats.
You seem to have succesfully flashed an ICS ROM. For further support it's best to ask all questions in the thread of that ROM. That's where you'll get the most relevant support because these ROMs may differ.
You should check settings in the facebook app and in the twitter app and make sure notification is 'on' there.
cheers

[Q] rooting desire s

hi
i am new
i want to root my desire s.. i am using the official ics rom.. my hboot version is 2.x..
please help..!!

This guide should help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100

I would suggest making S-OFF it will be easier later. Look around forum for this device, there are tutorials. You will need to:
1.unlock
2.downgrade HBOOT
3.S-OFF
4.root
3. and 4. can be done at revolutionary.io website. You need the 2.HBOOT downgrade because this method doesnt work above 2.xx
there are a lot of tutorials. be careful and good luck

how to downgrade my device?

There are more and less stable roms, depending on how you treat the setup. Be careful because now you rooted your phone there are lots of interesting options that are not to be touched if you dont know what they are for.
I'd like to suggest PACman Rom. It's great. Be sure to go to bottom of first post and install NIGHTLY since it has some bug fixes and more..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672537
also don't expect anything to work perfect, it takes days to set it up. Anyway, stock roms also have flaws, and yet people use them. Read and google more if you want to make your phone better.
good luck

[Q] ROM's and Rooting

Hi This might be a question that has been answered already or no. I've been browsing through the site and ready on ROM's and stuff. I just wanted to ask how to identify if a Custom rom is stable already and if there is a way to know without trying the rom first. I am scared of rooting my phone because I am afraid that I might brick my phone and if so is there different ways or just a standard way to do like S-off/S-On and flashing a rom.
Phone: HTC Sensation
ROM: Stock ICS Rom 4.0.3

To identify the custom rom you need to flash it yourself and then judge it .But most of the JB rom like viperS/revelation especially Sense 5 is the latest and stable one ..
Also Before rooting and flashing custom rom you need to first Unlock bootloader and then flash recovery after that rooting and flashing roms..
No need to S-OFF , you will find it difficult (Wire Trick).
A great guide can be found HERE just skip the HBoot-S-OFF part and follow other instruction ..

Thanks for the Guide. Just a question though. Does this guide apply on all ROM's like those made by VIPER and those CM10 thingy.

Yes the guide is one time process.After that just download any Rom (VIPER or CM10 ) and then flash through recovery ..

Sorry for having such a lot of questions. Any particular Rom you would suggest. I just use basic stuff like gmail, txtplus app, and some games. A black based design would be perfect. Thanks in advance for the suggestion.

Sensation XE Stock laggy, whats the right thing to do?

Hi, I have the following problem - My friend got an old HTC Sensation XE, with stock ROM, not rooted, bootloader locked and so on. She got it from friend because her phone died and she needed some fair replacement. She have never done anything like rooting, flashing ROMs, nothing like that. But the problem is that the phone has become laggy, I am very supprised because its on stock rom and when I used to use my Sensation, when it still was a flagship and well after One X was available, it it was okay, snappy and everything as you all know it was a HTC's flagship phone and HTC would not push anything that would make it laggy, I did factory reset and such, but that did not realy help. I in other hand have done fairy bit of rooting, flashing ROMs, custom kernels and such, so I think that flashing some custom ROM would help this problem, and as I have moved from my Sensation and anything related to that I am out of the loop and have no idea what is the best rom to use or maybe a kernel. So I am asking you what to do or flash, I need something stable and fast, stable because phone will be used by person who does not quite understand tech and fast - to resolve the problem of not able to use it comfortably.
