Hi guys, (possibly) noob question here, but I'm planning to get a HTC Sensation XE when it come out here.
I realize everything about the headset (other than looks and packaging) are the same as the original Sensation. The chipset are the same except clocked higher (which is probably on a software level from what I understand).
Therefore, when it comes to flashing ROMs, can I flash Sensation roms found in this forum into the Sensation XE without screwing it up?

That's not the question that was asked, and it's the same one I'm wondering. Can we (Sensation XE) users flash the ROMS from this section (Sensation ROMS) onto our phones?
There are plenty of topics around discussing whether the Sensation and the XE are identical hardware wise, but nobody has give a definitive "yes" answer yet.
Why don't you try and then report back? I'm pretty sure it will work.

I'd rather get an expert's advice than try it myself and risk screwing up the phone, I also want to keep it under warranty for now in case I have any hardware problems within the first few weeks of purchase.
I'm also interested in the answer

do be honest i dont see it being a problem since when you look at the device it has the same, hardware only differences it is the overclocked chip which i do believe could be hardware, since the software has nothing to do with it. Personally when i had other devices in the pass i have always cross software with the same make and different models and they still work. If you are in still doubt just wait for a while but right now, alot of people are just using the non xe edtion and make it a XE, person i benchmark mine via the Manufacture version and there is no differents in performance...person i say it is a gimmick. Also the headphones are not that anyway, all the headphone dont is just justify the price increase....
Answer to thread starter, No not possible. Both the Sensation and Sensation XE are two different ROM. Even a simple Battery mod for the Sensation would not work on the XE and vice versa. So I don't think it would be possible to flash a Sensation Based ROM.
However RoMS for the Sensation which are based on XE can be given a shot, and let all of us know of the out come
Okay, but before I install any custom rom, i'd have to install cwm first right? Is the steps to do so the same as an ordinary sensation?
Guys, s-off your XE, install cwm, backup, install any sensation rom, if it doesn't work restore nandroid. What's difficult about that?

Exactly, someone has to be the first. The RUU is available so going back to stock isn't an issue either
Well, as it happens, everyone wants working end result but no one is willing to contribute to it. Meh

Does the stock kernel run at 1.5GHz with custom ROMs?
I wonder if it sets frequency from CID....
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
CID is the same as other phones, e.g. unbranded is HTC__001
I'm running the Revolution HD XE Rom from Mike on my Sensation XE, works very well;-)
what about autonomy with custom rom like mike or virtuous ?
i m planning to buy one but which one have the best battery/autonmy, xe or original ?
Well , next week am planning to buy Sensation XE .
But here in XDA there are 2 forums... one for HTC Sensation and other for Sensation XL .
But there is no seperate forum for Sensation XE.
So where can i get custom rom etc for Sensation XE ?
Thanks , waiting for ur reply!
The Sensation and Sensation XE are the same device. The Sensation XE only has it's CPU clock set higher. Anything in this forum will also work with the Sensation XE.
Hopefuly custom roms of Sensation wont screw up my Sensation XE
They won't.
Just make sure to apply Super-CID to your device so all ROMs can run on your device.

You got your answer that you could have got from using search or simply by browsing the forum.
Therefore, thread closed

you will have poor development/theme/support etc..not a very popular phone
Sorry guys i need to be sure:
that all ROMs tested on the standard HTC Sensation model will work on the "XL" model too.
Can anyone confirm that please?
They won't work
No, the Sensation XL and the normal Sensation are completely different devices. ROMs for the Sensation XE however are compatible with the normal Sensation (and the other way around).
Nope. XL ROM's are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1344
Thank you all for the prompt response!
For the moderator: you can consider closed this topic. ty.
Well as I'm going to buy one, I have this simple question: why it does not have a specific forum in xda for itself? I saw XL has one but XE not. Why?

Hi,
The Sensation,XE , and 4G are all essentially the same under the hood.
No need for 3 different forums.
So where is the development forum for 4g?

Hi,
You can use any ROM from THIS FORUM on any of the 3 phones.
They are all interchangeable.

HTC Pyramid variants.
HTC Sensation, Sensation XE, Sensation 4G.
Even a little bit of reading would have answered this question.

Hi,
Yes.
The 3 phones are:
1. the basic Sensation
2.the Sensation XE
3.T-MOUS Sensation 4G
Sorry, once I get hands on my phone I start reading thoroughly about it. This was just a start to know what I can do with it as I am so into changing roms.
