Hey guys I'm looking for some help, I have the sensation 4g I love my phone its pretty awesome but I can get an amaze as trade for free the amaze is new btw. That being said should I make the switch I am user that likes sense I do like 3.5 better then 3.0 specs wise do you guys think this is good? Now I know most of you by now think its a no brainer but my concern is with roms the amaze section looks pretty empty roms wise its a pretty new phone do you think more devs will come to it, will ics be easy to port once its complete for the sensation because they are pretty close now to having a working ics rom anyways thanks for the help just trying to make a decision on two good sense devices

I'm not a developer, so I can't say whether ICS will be easy to port. However, HTC has already said that they will be bring ICS to the Amaze. My guess is that one of the reasons that there aren't many ROM's out for the Amaze, is that the developers don't really want to cook a ROM now only to have to do it again for ICS in a couple of month.
Forgive me for my lack of faith in HTC but neither manufacturers have a good track record for updating quickly but I doubt they will on time, it looks like xboarder has a wip thread tho so that answers that he seems to be one of the few cooking up roms. Ima just have to start kicking the habit of flashing roms lol any thing that anyone feels makes the amaze a totally superior device or should i stick with the sensation n wait for another device?

I just switched to amaze and I love it!! It's a lot better and I think its worth the drop in development because it is just a better experience in my opinion.

Read all the posts... Understand your concerns... BUT imho - its absolutely still a no brainer.
Its not the quantity of roms that any device has available. Its the quality.
Xboarder's are excellent and extremely stable.
Mike's revolution hd is a very solid stock-like rom
I haven't even tried NRG's because I'm so happy with the others but I've read good things about him/it.
And both Sense 3.5 and Bliss 3.5 are available by Xboarder - i haven't played around with them yet but again... I've read all positive comments.
I look at it this way - the Amaze out performs the Sensation in a lot of ways (not by much but still an improvement). The development has really been picking up over the past couple weeks and if I were in your shoes - i wouldn't hesitate to pull trigger and go for it
That's my 2cents

dont forget the Amaze just came out, the sensation has been out since late summer so of course it will have a deeper Dev section, the Amaze will to in a month or so, especially after ICS is released.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on if the amaze is viewed as a must have or just a hold over until the next best comes out. Look at the Samsung vibrant. Viewed as a must have so it got great dev support. Then look at the sgs4g. It has very limited dev support since it was not seen as a must have phone but more as a slightly upgraded vibrant. By the time ics gets released the galaxy nexus will be full force. That will definitely be seen as a must have. I agree that a few rock solid roms are a lot better than many half assed ones. Im not trying to be negative or bash on the phone as I believe that this phone will get great love. Im just saying that it is possible it gets overlooked if its viewed as just a sensation with a good camera. Either way I am definitely looking forward to getting this phone tomorrow.

The amaze is just better. And I would never have trully known it if I didn't play with both right next to each other . And switch between the two for couple days.
Then you just know the amaze I the one you want.

Man I'm so anxious to get more roms on the amaze!! I check xda every day. Buy the amaze you won't regret it!!

Lol i actually am trying the amaze n after the first day with nrgz28s rom I was sold this phone is superior to the sensation in every way camera battery life and build quality mostly its a big shame that most devs with the sensation may not see this device for what it is alot of them moved on to the gs2 and for me I just wasn't impressed with the resolution on that device and would have perfered an untouched gs2 with the exynos processor and 4.3 inch screen 4.5 was too much with the low resolution that being said the amaze is a great phone I hope more devs will come really not to say x n the current devs aren't good but from looking at the roms x needs a hand real bad so we could see roms speed up I want a stable version of sense 3.5 as it is much faster n better then 3.0. Hope HTC holds there promise n brings ics to this phone because it will be amazing with hardware acceleration

Had my Sensation for a total of a week. Now im getting an amaze through a tmobile trade straight across. The Sensation is a good phone but coming from a Mytouch 4G with a Sony built LCD, the ACER one that you almost always get on the Sensation now is just terrible. Drove me nuts.

How do you figure out which screen you have on the Sensation?
my sensations screen was great I had many that I rooted for people different screens all worked great there was an app to even boost the screen more.

i did the same thing. i love my amaze but i miss my sensation ans its because all the roms out there for it. i know this phone is new and will get a lot support
The only thing I miss from my sensation is the battery life. The longevity on the Amaze is terrible compared to the Sensation

Download a terminal emulator from the market, go into it and input "dmesg" do a search for "panel" or "panel_type" and it should say something like PYD-AUO or PYD-SHARP. The AUO screen is built by ACER and personally I hate it. It does have better colors but the refresh rate is messed up or something and there is terrible ghosting when the screen image moves. Also, they all have a red tinge to the display if you tilt the screen at all.
I actually just saw a dmesg dump from Binary on a kernel thread and found his panel is an ACER one. This scares me.

Hopefully most people I talk to don't think its a big enough phone to switch to they see there devices holding them over until ics devices come out. Once you own it you realize what a good device it is hopefully HTC keeps its word n gives us ics

Hi all
I currently have a trusty HD2 but i'm looking at replacing in the near future. The 2 phones in my price range are the EVO 3D and the Sensation.
I see this as the better phone due to the higher memory, 3D option and the ability to increase video to 1080p with a bit of flashing.
The only downside is see if this phone has less development than the sensation or is this just a bad judgement?
Am I right here or should I go with the Sensation.
No one better to ask than the people who already have one already.
Thanks
They're essentially the same. Any sensation wins for development transfer to the 3D due to the same chipset.
The rest is up to which carrier you want or if 3D really matters to you.
I'd definitely get the sensation. 3D on the evo is kinda cool....for about 20 minutes.
If you're interested in dev support then Sensation is your phone.
I'm Batman..
Thanks guys. It's a shame as this phone is so much cooler than the sensation. Ultimately I'll end up getting the cheaper one

Moving to Q&A
Hi all,
I'm about to pass the point when i can't swap my EVO 3D for another phone.
Shall i get the Sensation XE? The Galaxy Nexus? Or stick with the EVO 3D?
The rom's available for the EVO 3D are no where near the Sensation in terms of speed and fluidity, comparing the two makes the evo look a bit silly, it lags and just doesn't match up compared to the sensation.
What do you think i should do?

How you know this?? My evo doesnt lag... The xe has same specs but less ram & no 3D, so that would be a downgrade no??

Do you have a cdma device? The CDMA development is quite a bit ahead of the GSM side, an yes it does lag, i'm thinking that in the future it will change and some of the developers will make some great roms, but for now it's really taking it's time.
The lag problem is Sense. Try a different launcher, like adw or golauncher, you won't have lag anymore. I hate sense.

I know m8, i know. But by not having sense, makes having an evo in the first place a redundant decision, I like sense and if you saw how well it runs on my missus' sensation (core droid) then you would agree, it's blisteringly quick.
If i was to opt for a senseless phone i would have got a sgs2 or a galaxy nexus, or even the lg 3d.
The widgets you get on senselss phones are weak, not as good looking as sense and not all of them are free.
I appreciate your input but i know that sense can be made to run smoothly on this device, it will just take the right developer to accomplish it.
i would go with the sensation xe sense is the best skin out there i personaly would never get a nexus phone because thats all it can ever be pure android and maybe miui but go with a Sense phone or even Touchwiz you will have at least one more choice

What??? Lmao man its great developers out now who have sense roms that don't lag. Look at the hardware if your Evo3d is lagging its not the phone its you. I have a cdma Evo3d and mine doesn't lag at all.

I got GSM EVO running leedroid and anthrax kernel.... Smooth as can be, great battery. But it is all personal preference, if you aren't happy with it get a different phone.
My only reason to chancge would be for a better screen, wouldn't spend money on different phone with same specs .

Which would you chose? im happy with my Amaze 4G and some may not like sense but i think it's very nice. I've owned a i9000 and a Captivate before so i know a little what its like, but the amaze has a bigger resolution, better camera, and looks wise its nicer. The only thing that galaxy s2x (hercules) or T-Mobile S2 in the states has over amaze is larger screen, super amoled and its lighter. thats just my opinion, share which one you prefer, i know this is in the Amaze Forum and might be a little biased but yeah
You know someone is gonna say that there's plenty of trends on this subject.)

Looks like as always, tmo will play red headed step child to att. We get one S and they get one X. We can always unlock I guess.. I'm keeping my amaze. I love it. Only things I can't do that I've noticed is run an aosp rom and flash a new splash screen. Oh well
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
honestly i love the amaze, and coming from the g2x which was aosp, i personally prefer sense over aosp, aosp is very plain and ugly. lol and i dont know why htc made it so ugly for 4.0 i personally dont like the new sense.anyways this device is so good! i love the camera quality i have never seen any thing better from a phone atleast.
just read that all HTC sensation devices are receiving android 4.0 but not sense 4.0.. since our HTC EVO 3D's are basically the same do you guys think well be given the same treatment.
http://recombu.com/news/htc-sense-4...-coming-to-the-htc-sensation-line_M17125.html
If this is the case I think its bull.. Probably will never buy another HTC device again (hero, EVO, EVO 3D) since everyone knows our devices hardware can easily handle sense 4.0

Again it wont be an "official" sense 4.0 ui but one modified version to work with the evo 3d (as it seems its a hardware difference that sense 4.0 uses i.e. camera/chipset, ect.) made by the developers
sgs2 will get the new touchwiz aswell one way or another...
Have faith in the developers when manufacture's "drop the ball"

reverse engineering?
Id say 4g has a better shot than the 3d feature
This is what custom roms r for
they are probably reserving sense 4 for the HTC One devices. Chances are that we will get 4 after the initial release.
Or it can probably be ported, like we port sense 3.5 today.
Sense 4 has features that require new camera hardware and such. Why yall so
Butt hurt about it? Saying your not gonna buy another HTC device because of it. Well, good riddance to you sir.

Watch em call it sense 3.8 or somethin. lol
Similar to how it was on the OG EVO 4G, There will be a number of devs that will be producing Sense 4.0 roms for our EVO 3D's. You can count on it
We'll most likely need a Sense 4 CDMA rom leak or official from another HTC device to get the 4G working. Camera is another story, Has/is a challenge on ICS in general.
We'll do our best
