[Q] Advice for Android and Sensation newbie?

[CloneboyZA]

Hi there,

I just got my new HTC Sensation, and I'm coming from my old HD2. I'm finding it fairly easy to get to grips with, but just want some advice on what people would recommend doing to get the most out of my phone. I will install a new ICS rom sometime soon, but in the meantime, what can others suggest?

Also, I did pick up something - I tried turning on delivery reports for text messages, but they keep turning off. Is it something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
David

After you root I would use coindroid sense 4 rom it had allot of support and I'd very stable but Bluetooth doesn't work all the way I'd that is important to you and I would use rom toolbox with every rom you can change fonts change CPU speed it had root explorer and a bunch more features

Hi David,

HD2 was a really nice phone, but the Sensations is better.

Before starting with the hacking I would suggest give it a go with the stock ROM. Check for update of the firmware, while you are at it. ICS upgrade is widely available now, so your phone could be next.

After you have used the phone for some time, then have a look at the wide variety of custom ROMs available at xda. Read the instructions carefully and good luck flashing.

I was a coindroid user, but a few days ago I switched to aokp official.
is faster, lighter, almost all working (see cm9 bugs) and...well, is aosp looking!
I'm coming from a leo, too, here you will find lot of great roms, just flash
I suggest you to try official aokp, sense 4 and last version of arhd...
these are the best roms (I don't like cm9, try that too if you want)

Hi,

What is your hboot number?
Go to settings/power,and untick fastboot.
Power the phone off.
Power on holding volume down + power button.
You will see your hboot number.
If it is still below 1.27,then

DO NOT USE OTA(OVER THE AIR) UPDATE

Once you do this ,you will no longer be able to s-off your phone(using revolutionary)
This will then cause you no end of problems later,when you go to update to ICS...
