Hi, Noob Question - HTC Sensation XL

Hi guys.
I have just this moment signed up after getting my HTC Sensation XL today.
Im totally new to Android after years with Apple iPhone, jailbreaking them etc.
I just have 2 questions really.
1. What cool stuff can I do with the Sensation XL
2. I have heard about ROMS etc, just wondering if there are any recommedations regarding where to get them?
Thanks in advance
Mike

1. there is an app for that, do whatever!
2. yes custom roms helps you get the full potential, look in the dev section, i use bindroid atm, and its great... you really should just browse the dev section for info.. but imo go for custom! and welcome

Question for all the Dev's out there

Yes. The Guys From Xda.cn have posted 2 videos showing it working. the 1st shows an SD card error and no wifi or cellular radio.
The 2nd one however shows all this working.
The DarkForcesTeam have made RSPL's so android can run on the phones (this being all HTC WP7 Phones) so my guess is that they are working on doing something like their MAGDLR for the HD2.
The guys from xda.cn have apparantly stated a June release, so just wait and see, You've just got to be patient with this, its a huge job to port it.
I understand its a huge job and I appreciate it. I was just wondering because I've looking everywhere and I just want to know if am going to get android eventually or not on my hd7. do u have any links for the videos ?
By the way how is that going to be effective who are (claims) that they making android when the developers from wp7 are aboutt to give an update of MANGO?
Does this mean the developer who are making android for htc hd7 have to re-start again because WP7 has a new interface MANGO about to be release soon ?
Just wondeirng either theres going to be any interference with the making of android vs the new MANGO about to come soon. Due to the fact some settings may be different from what WP7 is know to what MANGO will be next and try android on that. Confused.
Mods please lock this thread, original poster, read the Android on hd7 thread you will get all your answers, DavieGee props for your patience on answering the same question that everybody asks, Sandra really? You are going around in circles in three other threads with the same comments, unneeded really one thread is enough one question is enough, do some research.
Yes... Matter of time...

Could somebody port android 4.0 with SENSE 4.0 from one of the htc one roms

The Htc One series are going to be released soon and there have been many leaked android 4.0 roms with sense 4.0 .We have a few android 4.0 roms like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523829. I quite like this one but it does not have sense 4.0 . Htc will release the Android 4.0 update soon but it will come with sense 3.6, not 4.0 . There are already many Htc one x, one s roms but there are no sense 4.0 roms on the sensation xl. There are also many sense 4.0 roms for the sensation, evo 3d and even the desire hd but none for the sensation xl. There are also no cyanogenmod or miui roms on the sensation xl. There are also a lack of themes and mods like the amaze camera and xloud. Is it possible for somebody to port one of these to the sensation xl:

this is the ONE X 100% pure stock ROM!
hope someone can help us to get this working on our devices!
Would be a lot easier if the real update is out... Because of original ics drivers.. etc.. or..

I wasn't talking about this thread
It is Possible, It is Likely and after time all will be achieved.....
However this thread is pointless.
Devs who work in there spare time "obviously" do not know about sense 4,
Im surprised that they even knew about sense 3.6...... it amazes me really ;-)
A few weeks ago, i was reluctant to make ten posts, as i knew i was a sensible poster and in part thought it was a silly forum rule. Now i can see why the rule is in place!
When the source code is out for runnymede, then alot more ports will be available, at the moment this is not the case and so that is why everything you see is everything you are getting.
Their is work being done, but not surpisingly the devs put this work behind closed doors, so that the do not get people asking for eta's/random requests/a new version of snake.
Probably been said 1 million times before, but if you want to ask the devs why a port hasnt been done, then your best bet is probably to ask yourself, why you can't help!
Learn some code, ask coding questions, a stupid question trying to learn is better than a stupid question asking for stuff to be made for you..........
Anyways, off to work now! Bye!

If you are so smart why don't you make the Rom ,and we will stop asking stupid questions
nope i'm fine thanks.... i will just be patient and not ask stupid questions... Its alot more productive.

Development

I would first like to say thank you to all the developers that are developing roms of the sensation xl. You guys are doing great and they are all great!
My question is why does the sensation xl lack in development and roms such as CM9, MIUI and other variations of custom roms compared to devices like sensation, one x etc. Anyway, not trying to hate here, just want to know if its a limitation of the phone or lack of developers.
Thanks and keep up the great effort :good:
It's down to a lack of developers. As far as i know, the developer vertigo from the three musketeers is working on CM9 for the SXL. But maybe i misunderstood someone.

I am sure he will pop along to confirm but, just so you know he is working on it. Just it's proving tireless - mainly because there really isn't much help coming from anyone but also because he, like the whole bunch of us is still learning. He will solider on though I know it. Once he's managed it, the doors will open for everything and we can really start to play with things. Like Paranoid Android, which would be brilliant on our screen size I think. And, for those of you who are asking elsewhere - it's because of this limitation that we won't have Jelly Bean, FOR NOW.
:cyclops:
Cheers for the responses guys and I seem to understand now. Its amazing what you guys are capable of which can be seen by your musketeer roms so really looking forward to Vertigo's CM9. It's unfortunate though that the sensation XL doesn't have more developers, its a great device and as you said a tablet like rom would suit the screen size. Anyway, i'll keep an eye out for new roms/updates so cheers for everything so far and good luck with the CM9 rom vertigo.
Just wondering, if I were to get started on rom development, where is a good place to start. Cheers
For me, I just smashed google search a lot. Main issues are with some things a with the tutorials you find are out of date. Depends what you want to do. Good place to start is to use things like dsixda's kitchen to get some ideas. Read up a lot. But if you are interested in building from source then you need to start reading about linux and setting an area for that. If you then start to hit some problems, PM some developers or TUT writers, they might be able to help.
Thanks mate, I've done a bit of messing around with dsixda's kitchen and will continue to try. I will move on to source compilation later after I get a grip on this stuff first. It's a nice starting place but as you said, a lot of the tutorials are out of date. If I do encounter any problems, I'll be sure to ask you or any other developer.
If anyone has any nice tutorials that really helped them, feel free to post

Hello one and all

Hi everyone.
I've joined the forum mainly to get help with my HTC One.
As a long time iOS user i am loving the customisability of the HTC.
I will lay it all up front now that i won't be of much help to anyone. Wherever i can i will help, (if anyone has any questions about cars i can definitely help and if its from VAG then i can do diagnostics and fairly in-depth repairs as well as tuning advice). I am certainly no android guru so i will generally sit in the back quietly observing and learning and only offer advice when i know it's sound.
Loving some of the mods available and flashed a custom ROM. However i am having issues in that it won't connect to the play store or allow to add a google account. So if i can be pointed in the right direction of where to ask for help it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Carl
You seem to want an answer to a question, so Q&A is the right place.
Is it an aosp ROM? If so you need to flash gapps too.
