I recently upgraded from my Desire to a Sensation, and I'm rather pleased with it apart from it randomly popping up with the shutdown options every so often, and cordy causing graphics issues until I reboot the phone. Apparently that's a 2.3.4 issue, so we'll see if it gets resolved. Sense liked restarting whenever I exited apps at times too, so a launcher change sorted that. I've also found that gameloft games don't want to work on it either, presumably due to the different aspect ratio. Good old gameloft, as crap as they always have been. Shame, as one game of theirs, let's golf 2, I actually quite liked on my desire...
Anyway, to the point of the thread. A friend just got the XE version, which runs at 1.5ghz out of the box as I'm sure most of you know. I read that the CPU is actually the same, just that it was underclocked for the original sensation. I don't like things being turned down, so now I'm wanting to ramp it back up.
Problem is, I know sod all about rooting and custom roms, etc, hence my questions.
I've had a look through some threads, but they mention changing the rom in order to overclock. Is there any way of overclocking while staying on the stock HTC rom, so it'll still get updates, etc? And has anyone got an idiots guide to doing it? Or is it possible to just stuff the XE software onto the normal sensation? I'm not bothered about the beats audio crap, but I'd like the extra clock speed.
Also, does anyone know roughly how high the CPU can actually be overclocked to without causing long term issues? I know each CPU will perform slightly differently, but just a ballpark figure will do out of interest.
Probably been covered countless times before, but I'm not finding much specific to the sensation, so thought I'd ask.
