[Q] ICS Roms -- XE and Non-XE -- Difference?

[hockeystar711]

Regarding ICS Roms, particularly InsertCoin and ARHD, does it make a difference if you flash the XE or the Non-XE versions?

Can I flash the XE Version onto my T-Mo Sensation 4g? I am assuming that I could do that and not run into a whole lot of major problems, but I am curious what the actual difference is between the two.

It could just be changing the "identity" of the phone itself? Like when you use the market and what not?

Thanks in advance for any info on the subject.

(for the record, I went ahead and flashed the Non-XE version anyways just in case)

XE had beats
Non XE had SRS
That's it ^^

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

So then essentially I can just flash either one, as long as it matches the firmware I flash?

Sounds good to me lol

Hardware difference

So to clarify, is 'beats' hardware or software? I thought I read that on XE versions, normal headphones wouldn't work, that you needed special 'beats' headphones. This lead me to believe that there was a hardware difference, but its just a guess.

No, I don't think there is any hardware difference i.e. the Beats feature is purely software.
