Welcome Back!
My first sugestion was to say delete FB account (alongwith with any others that you have like twitter etc) but,t it douns like you've already done that
so my only suggestion left, is delete Google account - which means starting again - as this is same as full reset!
Good Luck

You could always:
take a nandroid backup
perform the full-reset
test to see of problem is resolved (enter only google and facebook sync'ing details)
restore backup - until such a point that you have the time to reset up your phone
At least that way you'd know if that will help!
EDIT: Does this and the sentence above look like it's in a smaller font to the rest of the post (when read from a PC) it does for me and it seem's like that always happens when I use the LIST option...

@olyloh6696 i have the same problem 2,but it doesn't affect me much as i flash different ROMs often
but try a cache+davlik cache wipe before doing a full reset
Thanks guys I notcied in my people app, I get no pictures at all, but when i get a phone call, or text, the picture comes up :S whichis weird
Also when I add a person to the people widget, their pic comes up. Strange... It's not coming in the people tab.. I will try doing a reset in the next few days...
Thanks guys for answers!

Hello, Going totally off topic here...But...(figured this one was closed for now)
Have either of you two tried this [ROM] [16 SEP] Desires S Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 [v1.1 STABLE][Official Desire S ROM] yet? I have and it's great, apart from a few small cosmetic issues that can be easily overlooked and don't really effect use - it appears to be fully functional.
I never previously liked any of the the re-sized Sense 3.0 ROMS (like Virtious Unity) and even though I flash most of the Sense 3.0 add-ons to the LBC base I don't use the 3-D Rosie launcher, but by comparison this one is great - as if it's literally made for our device In fact I'm so impressed that I'm having a hard time in deciding whether to use this or LBC as my daily ROM.
Hopefully, LBC will take this (or ideally the next more polished leak of the same thing) and use this as the base for LBC v0.7.0 As this needs the a little attention and tweaking to get the best out of it. Its very close to LBC on battery usage and runs just as fast - even with the 3D launcher.
Thoughts? Comments?
ps
then of course there's always [ROM][17 SEP]RCMix3d Runny S v1.2 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5]
bit of a work around, but try the free app syncmypix on market, works v well when the facebook app fails
edit: this has the bonus of linking the facebook photo to your google contacts too

Hi Ben, I tried 0.8 version of that ROM last week. Not tried the new ones. My first impressions were, I liked the stock look and feel, but sadly i found the ROM to be slow and unresponsive. Wow, I wonder if 1.1 is fast! If it is as fast as you say, I'm quite tempted to switch from 2.1 sense! Never tested battery as I just played with the ROM for about 15 minutes. I'm just waiting for the official 3.5 sense build (hopefully) which can be optimised for stock modified performance roms (I.e - lbc mod)
Because I hear 3.5 was desgined for single core, whereas 3.0 is for dual core... So I'm quite reluctant to switch!
Atm, I'm rocking out leedroid with sense 2.1+3.0 mix very satisfied desire s user! (Especially since solving my issue!)
I think I may consider going back to lbc. Because I had a increased battety drainage on roms with my old battery, but now , with the new battery replacement from HTC, its lasting me real good
What about you? Have you decided to move from lbc to sense 3.0?

I'm currently swaying between the two...as there's been a recent lack of progress and even contact with LBC (I imagine that he's got a lot of work on), not that I can blame him as he's a one man band (with a family) whereas some of the other groups appear to be larger and multi-skilled and therefore have far more production time.
Currently, I've got a couple of ROMS the v1.2 Sense 3.0 one and what I regard as "old-faithful"/LBC and I'm simply using one, then backing it up and restoring the other then continuing like that ever few days.....watching whats happening elsewhere....
I didn't know that bit about sense 3.5 being designed for single core... which is promising although the leak sense v3.0 is from HTC for the saga so suggests it will be on our official OTA upgrade patch....It would be good to get that ROM optimized and tweaked as all good customs are....not just STOCK which is roughly what it is now.
Saying that I'm about to give [ROM][17 SEP]RCMix3d Runny S v1.2 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5] a go as it looks like its been tweaked for performance with the latest versions by the Desire HD devs...
Although it's ultimately designed for a larger screen size and I always felt that the shrunken sense experience don't look as sweet - we will see if this one looks better.
Either way looks like a good future! I'd prefer more options then less.

Yeh personal life is more important, so we can respect lbc is busy.
I read about 3.5 being for single core somewhere... Because it is leaked from the bliss (800mhz device) and dhd users report it being smoother, snappier, and a lighter UI to 3.0. When the custom roms for 3.5 start popping up, I'll be glad to give them a go , for now, pretty satisfied with Sense 2.1+3.0 mix.
So is proxusers 1.1 sense 3.0 ROM as smooth / fast as lbc? Especially that is only a leaked stock ROM, imagine an optimised version by our devs of that ROM!
Please let me know (in the ROM thread) how you are finding that 3.5 sense ROM. I haven't tried it myself, as I'm quite busy atm, and don't have much free time! Would really like to see whether it really us smoother and better optimised than the 3.0 sense..
Cheers mate!

i tried Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 {v0.8} sometime back & i found it a little slow compared to vu & also i didn't like the widget size,i prefer the size from vu
so i switched back to vu for my daily use,i would really like to try v1.1 as i heard its a lot faster
i would also like to try sense 3.5 but i think i will wait till there is a full release
(i tired the bliss version & i liked the animations a lot)
i am unable to test many ROMs as my life is sucking all my free time
can anyone who tried sense 3.5 from runnymede tell me if there is much difference from the bliss version?(other than the menu button bar)
From what I gather there us a massive difference, bliss is intended as sense for girls, where's the new 3.5 Runnymede had been referred to as mans sense the full experience, I'm planning on giving it a whirl later it came out too late last night and I wanted to ensure that there were no significant issues before I have it a whirl, from what I've read the latest version has been tweaked big time so is a great deal slicker as the desire hd devs have put all their normal tweaks and hacks in.
Although I'm currently really enjoying the sense 3.0 leak for desire, it's fast and every thing works although needs a Dev to add tweaks and hacks to make it great, hoping LBC well take this as I his next base and make it slick and improve it or else might be tempted to have a go myself as would like to learn some more Dev stuff
EDIT:
Although apparently after I went to bed apparently another ROM has been released and proxuser have ported it already, this is based on sense 3 leak but tweaked
and improved by the desire hd devs (so wishes do come true ) Its called RCMIX3D_VoidU_v1.1 will be loading that now! literally spoilt for choice!

Wow! Proxuser is doing a fine job here! We gave many roms to choose from now!
Just out of curiousity, what exactly would you like the dev (lbc) to tweak and modify the ROM by?
I'm quite tempted myself to try this new ROM!
Sense 3.5 Runnymede is for men haha! Lol, I never knew that!
But runnymede is a 4.7" 1.5Ghz dual core phone!
So will runnymede sense be as smooth as bliss sense??

yeah proxuser is doing awsome
i dont think Runnymede is dualcore
this leaked specs say that its single core
im interested in knowing what ROM cooks tweak to make the rom faster(is it build.prop & init.d? if it is then i have some experience )

Oh Yeh! It's not dual core! I misread it! It is actually single core 1.5ghz with the exact same CPU model as our desire s! So it should run fine on ours !

Yes, as far as I know that's it and use UOT to pretty it up and theme so it has its own look and feel, but I'm just learning! so know nothing really of this side, so also want to gain some experience in it myself.

What we need is LBC (or another dev like him) with the same improved stock philosophy - which is what I like anyway. Someone that just improves and slickens the stock experience (with the same care and love that LBC puts in) but, possible changes the base to either Sense3.0 for saga now that that's out (even though it's leaked) or maybe even 3.5 but it's too early for that. But either way use Android 2.3.5.
Just the above normal tweaks, hacks and organisations that are always missing from stock, plus cut out all the un-needed crap applications and some of the useless HTC stock stuff that's just never used and eats CPU/memory and bandwidth!.
I'm still yet to try Runnymede, so can't really comment although when I have time I'll give it a go. Although as it's designed for a large screen will be fearful that it will look cut-down and re-sized.
But, Bliss is certainly cut down version (for girls! ) so I'm not interested and will avoid (unless I hear wonderful things).
Going to give this a go in next hour or so.. RCMIX3D_VoidU_v1.1 (even though its only sense 3.0 and just watch what happens with the sense 3.5 ROMS.
---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------
As far as what speeds up ROMS I added some TWEAKS threads along with a DEVELOPMENT GUIDE section to the Dev INDEX thread that I maintain the other day and would happily add more if anyone finds any suitable reference or resources.

Well I'm about to try the 3.0 dhd port as it sounds like the first proxuser sense3.0 leaked ROM just tweaked.
I'll be honest I'm not 100% sure if you need the new HBOOT? the method of getting new hboot also depends on if your S-OFF'd via XTC or AlpharevX, there are a couple of threads on this subject, so I'd suggest that you give them a read
I have it hboot. You could possibly ask in the ROM thread?

SO I rooted my wifes Inspire 4g like 4 months ago and didn't do much of anything with it after the fact. No new kernel, no rom cooks or such. All stock other than a few choice root access apps.
She got a notification that their is a new update ( assuming the sense update and such) but she went to accept the update it hung in a godless limbo until she told me what happened and I did a battery pull.
SO the question is, why is this?
Is their a stock newest firmware/rom for the inspire with built in root and maybe an overclocked kernel that I can put on the phone for her. She wants her phone to run like it did out of the box with the HTC widgets but with all the updates.
Can anyone gimme some info........
You don't want to do an over the air update since your phone is not stock. It will break your root and may cause other problems. Turn off software check in menu/about phone, or decline any OTA updates. There are plenty of roms to choose from in the development section. You just need to decide which one you like.
If you're looking for a rom that is close to stock (since you stated your wife wants it to run like it did out of the box), I'll assume she doesn't want sense. Cleardroid was a great rom when I used it, but I like the sense components and have switched to ARHD (see signature). You'll have to check and see if Cleardroid allows for OC/UV and all that stuff.

You're confusing me. ClearDroid has Sense. It is Sense 2.1, but it is Sense. I do believe you were talking about Sense 3.0 or 3.5 (I have not used Android Revolution even though it was the first ROM I downloaded). But I agree that ClearDroid is a great ROM.

Cleardoid is the only Rom left, that I know of, that is still supported and uses the latest htc inspire update as a base(2.47.502.7). And yes it does and always has had sense, just like stock inspire. The only difference in the newer sense roms is the new lock screen and widgets are a little revamped. Other than that it looks just like stock inspire sense. The latest gingerbread update from htc comes with an annoying bug where contacts don't show in your messaging app, just the numbers. You have to tap the number and it takes you to the contact where you have to select a default widget action and that contacts name will show up for that single contact. Once you restart you phone though you have to start back over. I am not sure if cleard has fixed this on the cleardroid Rom. The inspire will probably never be updated past sense 2.1 by htc but there are plenty of custom roms with 3.0 and 3.5. Also the latest gingerbread version from htc is 2.3.3 where customs are at 2.3.4 - 2.3.7.
Honestly though if your wife wants it to run like out of the box I would just install cleardroids latest stable froyo build. The HTC gingerbread update brings better battery life and a quick notifications tab and maybe some other less interesting options, but it has many bugs that I have encountered that I do not like.

RumRunner 3 uses the same base.....jus sayin
Ah yes, my apologies, rumrunner version 3 is 2.47.502.7 as well.
I suppose there are probably some other devs that have used this base in older versions, but I think they have all moved on to newer bases by now.

Ahh my apologies, I tend to not be very clear sometimes..it seems however that everyone beat me to it so like everyone has said..Cleardroid seems to be the best option if you want it to look/run just like it was out of the box. I've used Cleardroid and it was a nice rom, I didn't have any issues but I really like the sense 3 components for some reason so my taste drifts towards those roms...
Thanks all of you. I decided on ARHD for her phone and she is digging it.
Peace
The title says it all. for those of you that Have Ice Cream Sandwich on your Sensation , and you have tried both roms, which one is better?
I havn't tried ICS insertcoin since I updated to hboot to 1.20 and the latest radio.
I do think that makes a big difference to performance though, and at the moment I'm very happy with ARHD 5.02
Virtuous FTW!
ARHD - IMHO Stable and support.
i think it's RCMix Ice, 24 hour, and stable.
lots of different opinions here! I myself have Android Revolution HD but havnt tried any others.
I have InsertCoin, tried also ARHD
Chosed InsertCoin because.. I don't know
Aren't they all based on the same leaked HTC rom with a few minor personal changes?
Aren't all of these ROMs a tuned variant of the HTC Sensation Sense leak?
Aside from obvious kernel / speed mods, each should perform similarly, so when you ask which is better, are you asking what is special or better in each variant?
If I may ask, I'd like to know what percentage of each ROM is 'just right' and what percentage 'needs work' - to assist answering the question.
Is that a helpful way to ask? Which is more of a reliable 'daily driver' that you enjoy and can rely on?
I tried insertcoin, ARHD, Ultimate, RCMix and Elegancia ICS ROM. All felt the same. May be because of base leaked HTC ROM and Sense (look wise). All had problem with Exchange ActiveSync policies and Security settings FC. I am back to insertcoin GB based ROM.

How does it compare to his AOSP version? I really like the speed of the AOSP but it can't be a daily driver without working mail and mms.

it has a few sense ics problems, the most closest aosp rom available with speed and everything working
I have tried both, and BOTH have the same problems when used in my phone...
"Random reboot", about every 20 mins...
So i am off now to try yet an other rom...
ICS on my Desire HD works rock solid (but without cam), so i am a little suppriced so discover that these more complete sensation roms have those kind of issues...
Right now the phone is on insert coin, and aperrently in a bootloop... :-S
- it have worked for 15 mins up until that point...
TripNice tr001b ASOP:
The ROM is perfect except:
1. GMAIL/FB tiles bug
2. scrolling to slow
3. camera
4. battery percentage missing

ive tried a few i like onceICS the most it has the best battery life but if your looking for something would sense i recommend InsertCoin
aren't they pretty much the same? ICS so new, I dont think ive seen the descriptions under the different roms vary much. What we need is kernel source dam HTC cawcks
I think id rather see an interest poll cause these things tend to cause too much conflict
kernel dev fights, aosp dev fights, too much drama.

That's curious. I've been using ARHD 5.0.2 on a daily basis with no problems whatsoever. I flashed the firmware update too.

People are always posting up new threads asking for advice on this ROM vs. that ROM. Well, I haven't tried them all, but I've tried quite a few of the more popular ones recently. I'm not going to pick these ROMS apart. If you want more info about what I liked or didn't like about a particular ROM I've tried, go ahead and ask.
I got my Sensation back in January. I used the stock Gingerbread for a couple of months. Then got frustrated when the T-Mobile ICS update got delayed and have been on a flashing frenzy ever since.
I've been trying a lot of ROMs lately. I started with ARHD, then went to Elegancia, then Hypernonsense, then back to Elegancia, then Sense 4 Elegancia, then back to 3.6, then Virtuous Inquisition, then Opensensation (CM9), and back to Elegancia again. I've also tried Sebastion, faux, and bricked kernels - I prefer bricked best.
I honestly don't a see a performance difference between Sense, stripped Sense, or AOSP ROMs. I have System Tuner Pro and always monitor memory usage. I thought that the stripped and AOSP ROMs would have gobs of free memory available, but they just don't. They're no better or worse. I also was compelled to try those ROMs to improve battery life. Again, the experience didn't match the hype.
It all comes down to personal preference. Each ROM has its own glitches. But from my experience, full Sense 3.6 ROMs are the most functional and most stable. I loved the Sense 4.0 ROM I tried, except that Sense crashed on me like 3 times a day having to pull the battery each time. For me, nothing beats the Sense widgets. I live in the email and calendar widgets for work and the music widget in the car. No other widgets come close.
I think I'm gonna quit screwing around with it for a while. I am very happy with the Elegancia Sense 3.6 ROM / Bricked kernal combo. It's pretty much already modded/themed the I way I would do it. I can just flash it and go. I will try the Sense 4.0 version again when it's more mature. I loved it, I just can't have my phone crashing on me constantly.
I still want to try MIUI and will probably try CM9 again when it's official. I really like some of the home screen setups people have been able to pull off with their AOSP ROMs. But I think the widgets will always pull me back to a full Sense ROM. The only widgets that can compete, you have to pay for - and they're still not as good. Also, the AOSP camera blows compared to the Sense camera. In the end, it's all about what's functional for you.
In conclusion, try a few, try a bunch... don't get lost in the hunt for better battery life and more performance, because - 1) those 2 things don't go together... & 2) those 2 things are largely the same across all ROMS whether you're full Sense, stripped-Sense, or AOSP. Just find what you like and enjoy!
SO wutZ da best roms to use?
Just joking, but it's too bad some people are serious.
Its all about your liking that's it otherwise there is not a rom whit better battery life than any others

I've been using Ordroid (Sense4) for a week or so now and I've found it quiet stable to be honest. I haven't experienced any crashes.
The batterylife was in 5.0.X about 17 hours (2 hours of screen turned on).
V6.0.0; I can't say if there are anything wrong just yet since its been out for about 2 days only and I've used it for 1 day. but the first batterycycle was about 21 hours with 2h 5m screen turned on. Only thing I could complain about with Ordroid is the partially working BT, I can't say anything about the Wifi-tethering issue because I am not using it.
Hmm, well I guess that was that.
The partially working Bluetooth issue is across all Sense 4 ROMs. It has to do with the fact that Sense 4 was ported from another device with different BT hardware - so the Sense drivers aren't fully compatible.
With the release of T-Mobile's official RUU, it may be time try Sense 4 again and see if some of the previous issues I experienced are fixed now. But BT will probably always only be partially working due to the driver issue.

I'd love to know whether any of these custom ICS ROMs is better than the stock ICS ROM. I get that they are all (Sense or no Sense) pretty much the same when it comes to performance and battery, but how do they compare to the stock one? Will I get any benefits from switching from the stock ICS to one of these?
Thanks!
great post!
I use elegancia ics 4.3 sence 4.0 is good so far it has a few glitches like if you try to take a picture while recording a video, the camera crashes or if you press the camera button to take several pictures at once it crashes! But other than that is good!
P.D. that Rom is updated like every other day but I still don't know how to update it

Well I've always found that the custom roms out-compete the stock ones repeatedly. You get a much better battery life, minimal bloatware and more power. Use android revolution hd 6+ and you'll see the differences

Yes I agree! I have much better battery life and over all better experience!

I tried Elegancia Sense 4 again last night. I thought it was time to give it another go since there have a few builds released since the last time. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Whatever issues I'm having are buried deeper than what gets changed from build to build.
My phone has crashed on my twice in the last 5 hours. It's unfortunate. I really like Sense 4 - I think it's cleaner & smoother than 3.6. The camera is better and faster than 3.6. But if your phone crashes on you while changing menus or doesn't wake up and you have to pull the battery all the time, then it's useless.
Does anyone else have these issues with Sense 4? Maybe another Sense 4 ROM is better? I have not yet tried another Sense 4 ROM because it seems they all use the same base. Maybe I should try another and see if it works better...
The new InsertCoin ROM Sense 4.0 is out now, looks very stable, only FM Radio not working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546731
I just flashed OrDroid Sense 4. I'll give that one a shot. It has a different base - the new leaked Ville RUU instead of the One S. The Ville and Sensation share the same processor, so maybe that will do the trick.
EDIT: That one's no good for me either. It has its own set of glitches I'm not willing to live with.
Now trying Steve's new TMOUS Elegancia with Bricked kernel.
Any tradeoffs for non Sense ROMs? I know the camera app is better on HTC's but other than that? Is there a Torch app similar to the stock one? Etc..
...and back on Elegancia 3.7.6. lol
I am running the updated TMOUS firmware now, tho. along with the other radio fix for TMOUS users. This might be the best combo I've run yet. But I'm still anxious for a fully functional Sense 4 ROM.

There is another Torch app that is pretty much the same. The ROMs I've tried all have it included if they don't have the HTC app.

Just flash the new one on top. No super wipe required all your data and apps are safe

For me, I love the overclocking of custom roms/kernels. Stock Sensation is 1.2ghz. My custom rom Sensation is 1.7ghz. Man is it speedy. I took the time to read countless posts and spent a ton of time learning how to mod my Sensation. No way am I going back to stock carrier rom.
Hey guys, I've been away from Sensation development for a while so I'm not that current on what ROMs are available.
Basically, I've been using AOSP for a while and it's so much better at multitasking/fluidity that I don't really want to go back to Sense 3.6 or 4. However, I just don't think there's an app available that beats HTC's clock and weather functions - they really are amazing. I don't want or need access to Sense widgets, just the apps would be fine.
Is there any way to get Sense 3.6 or 4's clock and weather on a stock ICS Rom? I know it's not as simple as just chucking an apk on there because they come with additional services and libraries, so has any dev done something similar I might be able to have a look at?
Thanks for reading, I'd appreciate any advice or replies
Cheers!

No you can't, due to the framework of HTC apps it would not be possible on aosp.
However, what u can do is flash a sense rom and then flash one of the aosp aroma themes on top - that will allow you to pick if you want aosp or sense versions of certain apps and will give u the look and speed of aosp.

Hm, thanks for your reply, but I'm sure I've seen it done before - and not just a Sense ROM with an AOSP theme, but in my travels I've seen stock Gingerbread and ICS builds with HTC apps incorporated somewhere. I'm pretty sure, anyway

no i doubt it...
what u would have seen is the aosp theme - try it mate it looks and feels identical to aosp but with some htc apps. Its what ur looking for...
hi mate, i was using Virtuous Inquisition AOSP for past months, and had just went back to Sense ROMs.
Didn't do much. Was having a HBOOT 1.27, HTC firmware 3.32, while on Virtuous Inquisition. Just wiped all data, and flashed the OrDroid (Sense 4.0). Been using it for awhile, very stable so far.
ARHD is also a good choice for sense ROM, but thats a Sense3.6.
