Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone knew of any ROM development taking place for our device?
Whilst an official ICS update has been confirmed by HTC, it'd be awesome to see CM/MIUI/AOSP some time in the near future.
If anyone could shed any light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Jim

Yeah but I don't believe in HTC RUU Update Announcements anymore... They said ICS is gonna on XL, but who knows when...?
I'm gonna count on Capy and his team...
Btw, there are 1 or 2 Custom ROM has made for this device including the famous RCMix3D Runnymede one
Capy does seem to be the only dev releasing custom roms at the moment but I still have faith in other devs! I'm waiting for roms such as litening rom that was released but discontinued on the galaxy s2

Be patient fellas, when the Desire S first came out, I worried with lack of development, but soon the device will become popular, and you will get great dev support..

Time will definitely tell. Admittedly, I'm a huge fan of MIUI so if it became available that'd be awesome

Well capy has said he will look into getting MIUI on the XL...
Would love to have a go at it myself... but unfortunately I wouldn't know where to start
Have a crack using dsixda's kitchen at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
the hardest bit is trying to figure out the edify file. so you'll need this, exactly as it is, including the blank line at the top:
Code:
# HTC Sensation XL
change_mnt=yes
param1=ext4
param2=EMMC
param1_sdcard=vfat
param2_sdcard=MTD
sys_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p25
cache_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p30
boot_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p22
data_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p29
sdcard_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk1p1
apart from that, read, read and read some more about rom cooking, removing apk's etc. once you've done a few ones where you have customised stuff, you might be able to go on to more crazy projects like porting and the rest.
for now, i'm just working my way through the in's and out's of my first rom...just for me, so i can get my head round it. Maybe if i have time and the inclination, i might release one later on once i've got much better at it, but it'll not be anything as good as Capy's stuff...He knows what he's doing.....I don't!
I'm looking for a new device, and rhe XL is one of them....
1 thing that stop me from buying this device is ....No SD slot...
So maybe you can flash BinDroid soon.

No. Best solution is a DHD ROM port. As its similar specs

DHD does seem to be the closest hardware wise...
Though how the hell you'd go about porting it across is beyond me...at least for the moment. there's some porting stuff in Dsixda's kitchen if anyone fancies a go?

hey guys.i just come over from sgs2 and i now have the xl aswell,yeah it seems possible we could get development going and porting DHD/HD2 roms,would involve changing a thew things like the kernel but roms that are already based on the XL are more better to start with

Yes in the ICS source we have everything works apart from MMS. But it isn't a proper ICS build as such, its been built from various sources available at the time to cb.de and he's managed to get it working. Which makes him way more advanced than me
Because in the rom ics tread the bug don't be updated?? in the bug section was written camera don't work...!! if i flash the phone there is a mode for relock the normal bootlader, rom ecc...(delete clockworkrecovery ecc...) in case of problem for the warranty?? sorry for my English...

Would be great if we could get MIUI on Sensation XL. It is indeed a great ROM and I do miss it; it was my favourite ROM on my Desire HD.
Slim chances that MIUI developers will build it for XL, as this is not a flagship phone, even worse htc one x will be coming out in April; but we might get lucky with a port from one of our great chefs.
Yes miui is the best... With ics wre the porting is possible, wait any great developers
Any leaks already?
I red that sxl didnt get sense 4.0 . How true it is , i dont know.

Me too. it's just nobody is brave enough to port this to XL. Resizing and stuff, because EVO have qhd display 540X960 and dual core (i think that shouldn't be the problem for the brave person,or for the right person !!!!)

Some devices take time to take off dev wise. It will happen though. My last device (Xperia Play) was dead for over a year, then all of a sudden boom there was roms/themes/kernels/mods comming from all over the place

There will never be an official jelly bean. But the three musketeers are more than capible of bringing us JB IMO

Hi,
why not? Jelly bean is just made for Nexus?
Thanks
I think that MAYBE we will get Jelly Bean. Because if not then only One series would get it.
Sensation XL was released in October 2011 so it would be quiet logical that we would get Jelly Bean.
I had Desire HD before Sensation XL and everyone has been saying that there is no chance of ICS coming out for it. But oh, it's coming out this month.
If I am right then there was Desire Series - Sensation Series - One Series
With ICS there was no One Series so last 2 got ICS which were Desire and Sensation Series.
For Jelly Bean I am guessing One Series with Sensation Series. However, my guess is that we will get Jelly Bean in late November or so.

You mean November 2014 i guess
Did anyone consider that in order to get OTA JB they must first make Sense 5 or at least 4.5 to combine it with it. The Legacy of HTC would keep going with new phones for new OS. And i wouldn't bother to wait official OTA JB..... if my phone is still alive by then...
Google rolls out Jelly Bean
http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/0...an-rollout-with-update-for-galaxy-nexus-hspa/
So all we here made a wrong choice or something?
HTC announced they're only making JB ports for the One series, Cyanogenmod for some reason does not support SXL, and while threads for JB ROMs(even if all unstable and pre-alpha at the time) for most devices are starting to appear here, this part of the forum is kinda dead on JB topics.
Are we stuck at ICS, is it too much work, or are there just too few people using SXL phones and devs don't feel like it's worth the time and effort?

we have good developer here. we will have jb.
Yup, i think that we also would see some JB soon. But it is kinda rare to see much from SXL outside. I would not rush to get JB yet.
I would buy anyway a new phone soon, but to be like a Ronin on the way doesn't disturb me much
JB is up and running on Most of devices now..
I saw a DHD Running JB and only few bugs where there..
When HTC Release ICS for DHD, it will get working drivers and JB will be up and running in no time..
SXL is a good device..
I dono why there is less developers for SXL.
Frankly to say SXL is faster than Photon 4g.
Photon 4g suxd even with custom Rom :\
@ h-streety, desire hd wont be enjoying ics unfortunately. confirmed by htc. unless through custom roms from our great devs
Nearly every device now has custom Jelly Bean rom, do we have any devs left?
I know that it's not easy but maybe someone could look into a rom of similar device to Sensation Xl which already has Jelly Bean rom out.

We can't have jelly bean without any cm9.. so we just have to wait.. vertigo currently developing cm9 for us.. we will JB after that..

Great news if JB actually makes it into a custom roms into our phone, I just moved from desire to Sensation XL :b
a note apart, there's already a JB for Desire, drivers were backported into 2.6.x series kernel so a v3 is being developed slowly, since the characteristics of Sensation XL are ahead of the Desire, there's a good chance of running it nicely.
Greetings to all by the way
As far as I know there's only a few devs still around playing with this phone. Lex was looking at getting CM9 running and building a kernel. Not sure how far he is with CM9 but his kernel is awesome.

I also plan to do that, but i'm still trying to port a fully working AOSP-based ROM (CM9).
For now, as an update, i've changed the way i will work in the future on the port, it will be slower, but safer and will surely give the best results. My school is taking a big amount of my time right now, but i believe i will release a fairly stable - testing version soon enough, maybe next month, no promises, as for now the port is pretty much in the dark, still trying to figure how drivers work, how the android layer works with the kernel, a lot of research is involved as i'm farily new to this....
But, considering that i recently bought this phone, you can expect a long-time support from me as i'm a student with no money
maby we will have a close to stable JB rom for sensation XL in the start of next year.
