Developed by Team Revolution, the Android Revolution HD ROM for HTC Sensation was revealed today on the popular Android hacking forum XDA-Developers. The ROM is based on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread.

We could talk endlessly about the little, under-the-hood changes made by Team Revolution, but it really is sufficient to know that Android Revolution HD for HTC Sensation essentially makes using your superphone utilize the otherwise under-utilized dual-core processing power. Cosmetically speaking, there are no differences between this and the stock ROM.

DA Recognized Developer mike1986. presented today the first HTC Sensation ROM capable of full dual-core support. Basically, this means that you will take full advantage of the new processor giving you more smoothness and perhaps a bit more of speed when you are multi tasking on your shinny Sensation.

Lastly, the ROM is Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread from the official HTC RUU 1.45.401.2, which includes HTC Sense 3.0.
