Rooting the Sensation XE should be the same process as rooting the original Sensation. I would recommend Googling around for information on rooting the Sensation and go from there!

Not sure will do it. You have doe it? I'm afraid I will mess up. I went to xda forums already to check and there's information about rooting but still I'm not sure I want to do it or not.

I'm loving my XE (now my 3rd HTC) just as it is, plus I'd be too scared of turning it into a brick. I guess only you can decide if it's worth it.... what would it actually give you that you don't have now?

My friend is running an ICS build on his HTC Sensation XE that he found on XDA forum and -- while a bit buggy -- it seems to be running just fine.

I use ICS 4.03 and sense 3.6 with the latest firmware 3.30.
Its working great.
I just tried the soft from Htc-one (Endeavor) with sense 4.0 but not all the app's are working.

ICS 4.03 is the Android software and sense is the input from HTC in the software,
So the base is ICS 4.03 and you can have it with Sense, NOSense or MUI.

I still do not understand why Samsung, HTC and Moto have to run their own launchers.. I wish they would give us users the option to use their launcher or go ICS pure.
I think back in the old 1.X and 2.0 days these launchers were innovative, now they just seem to be archaic...
Back to Rooting the Sensation -- there is lots of info on the XDA site and you should be fine if you follow the steps correctly.
Good luck.

Yes I'm rooted and using BootManager lite (free app) to have two Custom roms to boot.

Really... that's new too me. So I could do like a basic ICS boot and a sensewiz boot if I wanted to? Doesn't that take up a lot of free space on your internal memory?

if you want to root your sensation/XE then it depends on the HBOOT you have
for hboot 1.18.000 or lower then take a trip to http://revolutionary.io/ and follow the instructions carfully
if you have hboot 1.27.000 then take a look at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632553
if however you have hboot 1.29.000 like me then it gets very hard, and currently i would not attempt it,
i accept no responsibility for any damage if you follow the guide and it goes wrong.
hope this helps
