[Q] Would you be able to use the stock ICS ROM on the Sensation

Would it be possible to use the to use the stock ICS ROM on the Sensation?
Just plain ICS like on the Galaxy Nexus...
Just noob question but I do like the look of my friends Nexus.

Virtuous Quattro is the closest you'll get right now.

Ah okay thank you

ICS Rom for the Sensation 4G
Virtuous Quattro is a great ICS rom for the Sensation but i like OnceICS. It is in version 1.0.7z and it is running Android 4.0.3. The only issues i have is WiFi calling and I have had 1 random reboot.

does any of them support custom kernels yet

On all of the different ICS roms that I have looked at, SebastionFM's kernel is the only hacked kernel that is mentioned. However, it seems to have stability issues, especially on the 4.0.3 builds. So, it is pretty much recommended to keep the kernel stock.
Plus, they run pretty good stock anyways. At least insertCoin does, which is what I have used 98% of the time so far.
Hope I helped

Thank you to all who helped!

For me is the revolution hd ics the best rom for so far. It hass still bugs but it's for daily use verry good.
But the best way is to find out wich rom is the best is just to try oit..
Good luck.
P.s. i read a message of htc today, ics will be verry soon send ota to the sensations.

I like Insertcoin, very good battery life and if there is any bugs I haven't seen them.

I would say, Revolution )
But use the non dr dre beats Rom and on 1.2Ghz.. the other one has more bugs.

InsertCoin
Android Revolution HD
Virtuous (anything they put out)
These have been the smoothest and most enjoyable ROM's in my experience. They all have a large userbase too so any issue is helped quickly.

Yeah I liked virtuous' rom on the G2, theyre very helpful especially rmk..
Anyway the guy I'm gonna buy it from already has it rooted so I guess we'll see what rom he has on it.. am I better off unrooting then re rooting? Cause on G1 I can root,unroot, then root in like 15 mins haha if its a pain in the ass on the sensation ill just leave it
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using xda premium

Well I got 3 people saying revolution so ill try that one first.. I'm just looking for an ics rom, is there any stock ics? No sense just stock

Best non-Sense ICS rom? and is this the best way to upgrade?

hey guys,
So im still on Gingerbread. Thinking of finally upgrading to ICS. I have a Tmo Sensation 4g.
So I was going to use this guide to follow as the upgrade procedure to ICS:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
But instead of flashing the exact rom in the guide, I was thinking of flashing a non-sense version...
So 2 questions:
1. Can I just follow that guide and flash any ICS rom, or since Im following that guide do i need to flash the same rom that is in that guide rom? If I do flash the rom in that guide, since Ill be on the correct firmware, can I just go then and flash any of the new ICS Roms?
2. what would you guys consider to be the most stable, cleanest, or best non Sense/Senseless/ or Sense-stripped ICS Rom?
Thanks so much everyone. I realize there are lots of related posts, but I cant find an exact answer for my question

If you want a non-sense rom, flash the Virtuous Inquisition. It's pretty stable and i highly recommend it. Remember to flash the 3.32 firmware before flashing the rom.
And no, you don't have to flash the rom found in the guide if you don't want to.

thanks.
another quick question.
when ICS roms first started coming out, i seem to remember that there was some sort of setting where you had to enable or force both cores to run. is this still the case? if so, how?
thanks

Go with HyperNonSense, its really the only functional "no sense" ROM at this time. It also happens to be pretty good!

thanks for the response
i was thinking of going with Virtous Inquisition... but have not flashed it yet. Can you please tell me why Hypernonsense would be a better choice?
Thanks

flash different roms and see which one you like

Agree with this guy. Try it out yourself!
As for the other guy, he claims it's the only functional "no-sense" Rom without any backup/proof... It's already clear here that it's all opinion. I wouldn't believe him and I think he's just blurting that out, due to love for his fav rom. I'd do the same!

i use hypernonsense 1.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350492

thanks for all the responses. I first flashed ARHD ICS from GB yesterday as my first ICS rom. then i flashed hypernonsense due to the suggestion above as i am completely sick of sense.
all I can say is wow. this is by far the most i have loved my phone in a long time. will probably try VI at some point or any other non sense roms. but after leaving sense, I sure can not see myself going back to sense.
I used to have a first gen mytouch3g, then Vibrant, and now I finally like my Sensation
if anyone has yet to try a non sense rom, I strongly urge you to try one. the phone is so damn buttery smooth and it feels like a completely different phone

In sense roms i prefer : ARHD , InsertCoin
Non sense : Virtous , hypernosense

I'm luv'n VI 4.0.0 for a week now!

Hey go for the miui version from miui.com. initially everything will be in Chinese but then it turns alright once you reboot. Plop apex launcher on and you're good to go if you prefer "standard" launchers.

Not trying to be a douche or anything just sayin.

Sense 3.6 I'd say ARHD
Sense 4.0 I'd say OrDroid or InsertCoin.
But try a few and see what works best for you as said above.

I just flashed over Ordroid a couple of days ago sence 4. I was Amazed at the available customization during flashing with Aroma installer and AFTER installation with Ordroid tweaks! I just LOVE the options available to me! Is a stable rom, I get WiFi but not tethering. But besides the tethering its AWESOME so far! So much depends on what your personal needs are but by your post it sounds like you would really love ordroid. Little customizations make it uniquely personal. I highly recommend you try Ordroid 8.6.5. Sense 4 is amazing! But what like most is the ability to custoize. I don't think you will be sorry if you choose Ordroid!

I love this rom because of its speed and stability but i wished we could have the old sense 4 camera... HD pics and could snap lot of pics just by holding the shutter button also i noticed sound quality in headphones differs from rom to roms ?
This is horrible :/ i loved it on virtuous it was very well balanced.. can a 3rd party app help ?
And htc music causes wakelocks so alot of battery drain idk what to do battery isnt so good for me and all i do is listen to music
PS: Sorry for thread hi-jack.

VI v4.0.2 works a treat for me!

Stock T-Mobile Sense 3.6 Elegancia rom. ****ing awesome! 1.1.0 to be exact. It's the stock rom with nothing added, just rooted.

Would definitely recommend Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2
If you're more of a sense person, why not try Ordroid(Sense 4.0) or InsertCoin(Sense 3.6)?

Thanks guys got lot of info abt three custom roms... Seems ordoid and VI are the best..i m not into more sense but would like to try once sense 4.0...
Also i just rooted my phone and s-offd it. And downloaded some custom roms btr everywhere it says one warning that firmware should be 3.30 or something..and i have stock firmware 1.52 something.. I guess i need to upgrade it but got confused after seeing lot of threads..

bro, if you're new to rooting and flashing new ROM, i suggest you to try ARHD first because most of the guide are using ARHD as example. i started rooting two months ago, and read most of the info from there.

Yes upgrade to 3.32 firmware BEFORE you flash any Ics rom. And yes you will love ordroid especially if you like customization! Sense 4 is wonderful! Never had trouble with it yet. But please remember the firmweare is EXTREMELY important, you will get into trouble if you try to use any Ics (4.0.3) rom with out upgrading the firmweare first. So please upgrade to the 3.32 firmware FIRST. Hope this clears up the confusion and helps! It's very important you do this without question if you want the Ics Roms. Which your saying you do. Have fun and good luck! I know you will just love sense 4! Happy flashing!

Best Sense Roms
OrDroid with sense 4.0, most bloatware removed, frequent updates, bugs HDMI out, WiFi Tether,
InsertCoin same as above, different theming
Team Pokemon, new sense 4.0, same bugs as above, however, Pokemon team has great tweaks as well as some of the best dev's, including the dev on OrDroid,
ARHD is the best sense rom without bugs, however Sense 3.6 with most bloatware removed, updating is slow, however, due to stability or the rom isn't a problem

You can try them all, you will end in the Elegancia's threads anyway!

I'd give Cyanogen Mod 9's Nightly build a try. I flashed over from Android Revolution HD and I'll never go back. The entire build is sleak and smooth. Android 4.0 brought a whole new way to see things when it comes to Android for me.

I'm looking for a stable,fast barebones senseless Rom.

I have already ran hypernonsense,hypersensation,virquistrious,cm9.anyone have any good recommendations.

Those 4 are your best non sense options.
You can also run ARHD and strip sense out of the UI. It's still a sense rom at it's core though.

just flash CM9 and strip it yourself(make a nandroid backup before doing so). using Titanium Backup, make a backup of the app that youre wanting to uninstall first, then get rid of it. keep going down the list until you are satisfied with what you have. if you come across any errors with anything, just restore the app/ROM and continue down the list. hope this helps, I do this quite often

Senseless Rom
Go to sense-O-maniac website. He has ICS senseless rom there with firmware and radio. I have the sense 4 rom and working great.

Its basically CM9 with a few coding differences. For all intents and purposes though its cm9.
Opensensation was the project to get cm9 development for the sensation kicked off originally
Sent from a rebel ship by storing the message in an R2 unit. (Help me, XDA. You're my only hope)

Apart from the ones you mentioned (which are fast, barebones and senseless) you may try AOKP. HyperSensation or HyperNonSense are best because of their super small ROM size and excellent performance.
If you got bored with No Sense ROM's (like me Stock Sense > No Sense > Sense ) you can try ViperS 1.0.1 ROM.

Try Eyecandy AOKP rom. I heard that its fast and quite stable
