Stock Android Rom for HTC Sensation 4G - HTC Sensation

I really, really deeply despise HTC Sense, its worthless, is there a Nexus One/Nexus S style Generic Android Rom for this phone. It has to be 100% stock Android.

So you bought an Sensation (which MAJOR selling point is Sense) for what reason??
Anyway, questions go in Q&A

Yeah? I suppose you also like pink frosted cookies, daises, and cars that look like lunchboxes also known as the Prius. Anyways, nobody asked you to question my intentions and reasoning behind my decision to purchase the sensation, and last I checked the hardware was the selling point shmuck. If you have an answer for me, please answer, if you don't then don't leave a stupid comment like 'EddyOS'

CM7 nightlies will be here soon (hopefully) Meanwhile you can try nosense script and some mixed ROMS (meaning it has some things from Sense and some from AOSP)

i wish you would read, as this question has been asked many times, and also answered many, many times.
WE DON'T HAVE A WORKING ONE YET!
any clearer for you? It is being worked on, but nothing useable as of yet.

@idavid_ & geoffcorey - thanks for your help, i'll keep an eye on the site then
P.S. < @lianw - your opinion doesn't matter, as a matter of fact your existance doesnt matter, and I don't really give a sh*t what kind of freedom you think you have on the internet, I asked for a relevant answer, and that is what I will accept. Congrats, maybe you, that village idiot Huckabee, and that #winning moron Charlie Sheen can go on a equal rights for idiots with an ip-address campaign. Got it. Good. Fantastic.

it was posted here because its about the rom? i might still be wrong though...and its not really my fault if people start flaming about wanting iOS on an android.
People won't start flaming because they want it, it'll be just the opposite. It's a question about a rom that isn't in development and doesn't exist It belongs in general.

buy an iphone, problem solved.

If the Inspire was like an iphone I would have never bought one !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Flames aside, most of iOS isn't open source. It's core, Darwin, is but it's ARM port is not. Really, it'd be re-inventing the wheel just to have a BSD-based base instead of a Linux one that already works.
There currently is no way, and probably never will be.
And there's a reason they managed to run Android on an iPhone and no one's tried to run iOS on an Android phone........
Besides, don't you think MIUI beats the pants off iOS? IMO, MIUI says "Hey iPhone. Check this out."

In addition to extremely difficult and/or painstaking, there are legal ramifications to worry about. Apple has a habit of ripping the heads off of people who infringe on their patents/copyrights. Don't think that this board isn't monitored in one way or another. I doubt anyone would want to risk legal action to make a ROM that probably wouldn't be of much interest to the Android community as a whole.
I love Android over iOS for everything, except the lack of 3D games =(.
I would love to have Ace Combat, Metal Gear Solid, etc. on my phone... :/.

If you feel that you have the right to troll around this forum and make whatever negative posts you want, what makes you think that other people can't post about whatever (a Sense ROM, for example) they want? Hopefully you'll come to your senses at some point and realize you're wasting your own time (and the time of others) with most of your posts. I'm not saying this to counter-troll you, just to nudge you toward some self-realization.
OP, I think that's a great idea. First of all, the more ROMs available for a device the better in my opinion. Plus we can scratch one more thing off the list of features that the Sensation has and the G2X doesn't
ty! ^ ^ ^ this dude is always puttin someone down or just stating a negative comment its a joke dude go to another forum!
Hey guys chill. You guys do realize that a lot of people have posted threads wanting someone to port over sense 3.0. More than likely it wont really work. People have tried porting sense over to other non-htc phones and have been able to get it to boot but a lot of things are broken like wifi, data, SMS and they haven't been able to fix it.
So yea I know suprah's post came off like he's trolling but I'm sure he's tired of threads like these. Its not really doing anything good to the g2x's development to start littering this forum with random threads about wanting something that many have posted.
So yeah everyone lets chill cuz I've notice there have been a lot of flaming going on in this forum and it really shouldn't be like this. We're all here for the same thing so there really isn't no need to be mean. Go mavs

First, I don't see where it's his place to scold anyone.
2nd if you go to his posts you'll see he does it regularly. I noticed him doing it a lot and couldn't resist. I knew I became as guilty of trolling when I did it. I couldn't resist.
3rdly I was interested in the original post.
Searching can be a total *****. I rarely find what I'm looking for when I search. I read every new post.
4th I don't see where it's his place.....oh, I said that.
I hate when people are ugly here....JUST TO BE UGLY. I come here to help and be helped, to learn and to teach. I hate trudging through the needless attacks more than I do duplicate posts. At least I can see the dup. posts coming.
And lastly, My quote above is cut and pasted from a post Suprah made....he should definately follow his own advice. I know he has a lot to offer, I've seen it in his posts.

wow..... nice ickster haahhahaha nice that made my effin day n i totally got what part was quoted n dude we have the best developers working on this phone sense will be ported over imo
@dnguyen1988 and i hear u there but man i felt like ickster,, everywhere almost everytime i seen his name it was something negative no need for that at all we all are here for the pleasure and fun are phone brings us and either want to mod it or just ask questions thats all, no bully ****
I'm not a Sense fan myself (I have a slight CM dependency)...but I would LOVE to see it ported. The more ROMs the better. There is really no reason everyone can't find a home with the g2x...great phone with great devs working on it.
... now, if we could only dual boot Ubuntu I could stop carrying my laptop around...
The great state of Texas vs Suprah. Making some popcorn.
I too would love more choices regarding Roms. Don't see anything wrong with that opinion.
I didn't realize it was ok to post a topic in the Q&A forums with no question in the thread and 2 links in the post. Would definitely love to see more ROMs for our awesome phone (who wouldn't?) but what if everyone started making a bunch of threads like this? I'm sure it would get annoying pretty fast.

Counting updates. Evo 3d & Sensation

Have you noticed how quick HTC & Sprint are to fix the issues with the Evo 3D?
Evo 3D has had 2 updates already. 1 before and 1 right after launch.
T-Mo on the other hand does nothing..and the Sensation has way more issues than the Evo 3D.
Let's weigh in and see what you guys think the reason is.
Personally i think it was just a bad batch or 2. Each device seems to have different versions of different problems. most people are only complaining because they go looking for an issue most times. Dust can only be seen if the screen is off is not anything honestly to complain about to me. A couple dead pixels? yes. Lag and things like that can be fixed i think.

T-Mo likes to put out collective updates that fix multiple things, rather than two small updates that might lead to other issues...
There aren't many major issues with this phone either...most of the ones complained about are hardware (which must be replaced) or user error. There are alot of clueless people complaining about problems that aren't even problems here.
Agree with the above post.....
People have to keep mind that the Sensation is, for a vast majority of owners, a problem free device.
Other than a speck of dust on my first one, my second one is just about perfect....hardware and software.
It's a VERY small % of Sensation owners that ever even look at any forums, let alone post on forums. Even then, the people who are on this forum and have major issues over and over are in the extreme minority.
As far as updates and s-off and all that stuff....wasn't it just a month ago that the CEO of HTC said they were going to change their policy on bootloaders? Thats not long at all...gotta give corporations time to get their ducks in a row.
For me and a VAST majority of owners of this device.....its great and doesn't really need anything that's urgent or absolutely necessary....
Oh....the OP should add one more poll question..... Is everything great with your device? My answer would be yes!
Htc has already "leaked" an update for their unbranded sensations...

IDK how to edit the questions..I tried...but i dont see a way to edit my posting other than what I typed.
Have you seen the reviews on tmobile.com? This phone has 5 STARS. There's 2 reviews that have 1 star. Probably from an apple fanboy who created accounts to spam.
I picked up my Sensation today, and the only thing that bothers me is the dang voicemail icon that's always there. Other than that. This phone is pretty awesome, and T-Mobile's network speeds compared to what I was getting with Sprint makes me wonder how in the world I stayed with Sprint so long.

So far I'm quite happy with my Sensation. Best device I've had and I've had quite a few. However, it does seem that the Sensation is being pushed aside. At Bestbuy today there were plenty of accessories for the 3D including the Otterbox cases but absolutely nothing for the Sensation. Why? I'm not sure but its becoming rather annoying as this seems to be the case everywhere so far.

End of the day the GSII is a great phone.
Not sure why you would want to ruin it with sense though. I can't wait to get rid of it on my sensation.
That was my response Sense would be great if it wasn't such a hog.
I never insulted the phone, just the fact they are trying to do something which 2 major companies never really wanted, the phone wasn't made for it.
They are the one that started the insults.

I'm not saying it's not funny (it is as TouchWiz is SO wank) but you've gone to THEIR forum - what did you expect to happen?? Of course you were gonna get grief!!
Oh, trust me, I'm all for good laugh. But you know how sensitive whole sgs2 vs sensation thing is, even a joke will cause a war.
P.S. hate to admit, but Samsung has done a better job this time. I just prefer looks and feel of Sensation. But after experiencing few problems with it , if I had a choice again, I'd probably go SGS2. Not a fan of Samsung or HTC, I'm a fan of good quality equipment.
Just read somewhere that nexus prime is going to be Samsung parts in metal body. Now that is something to look out for.

I was on G+ on a CM developer and on the post about Sensation port this guy was just insulting CM7 saying it sucks, yet it takes time and effort to develop. I'm a developer myself (not for Android) and I know how it feels to have your work disrespected.
Damn, those posts got deleted now I wish I could see them, it would be funny

When people ignore mods telling them to knock it off, you know it's not going to end well.
Maybe a timeout for a day or two will let cooler heads prevail in the end.
I understand, if I was in Scott's position I would probably do the same. I just thinks it's funny how things clearly say what to do, and someone still messes it up.
I just sucks that people have to take it so far as to blame the dev for not doing something. When it for one flashing any thing has always been at your own risk, and two getting pissed off, and posting a nasty thread instead of just asking for help politely.

So I have a few choice words that I think this entire forum should read, but its mainly directed to whomever was talking crap about Scott. And I don't know who it was. And I apologize for the occasional profanity, but its stuff like this that really hits home for me.
As developers, we try to enhance the user experience of our phones for the good of the community. We don't get anything out of developing besides the occasional donation that someone gives us since they like our work. We aren't forced to do the work that we do. I can turn around right now and cease all development on the two ROMs I do (AOKP and Evervolv) for this phone. But I don't. Want to know why? Because of all the people in the threads saying "Wow, this ROM is awesome! Thanks Rohan!" and "This made my phone really awesome! Thanks!". If I didn't have those people then I wouldn't feel like updating the ROM. Even if you aren't using my ROMs and you drop in to say "This looks awesome, though I will wait for more stability!" That feels good too since you know someone still liked your work.
When you have someone calling you "selfish" and "annoying" it gets to you. When you put your work out, you want it to be the best. When it isn't the best, you try to make it the best. Thats why I and every other developer on XDA update and fix bugs. We want the ROM to be the best it can be. Thats why I stay up regularly till 2 AM looking up new Android features and the Platform Guide on the android developer site. I want to become a better developer for the community. Not for myself, but for the community. When you have someone degrading yourself, you feel like ****. And when you don't feel good about your work, you feel like the community is not enjoying your work. At that point it becomes a "why bother even updating this" sort of thing.
So when someone is being an asshat in the forums against you, it hurts. If you think that putting these ROMs out benefits us, the developers in any way besides the infrequent donation, you are sorely mistaken. We put these ROMs out for the community. I enjoy making ROMs for the community because I like to see all of the "Great job!" posts in my thread. It vindicates my work and proves me right that I can indeed make a ROM people like. Sure, the donations are an added plus and they help as well.
And now onto the "selfish" part of that statement. Are. you. effing. kidding. me. Seriously? You call us selfish. After staying up late hours to get a ROM out for YOU, you turn around and call us selfish? I dont even know what to say to that statement. We are not "selfish." You think putting our name onto a ROM is the best prize in the world? Why the flying f*** would we need that? So that people know my name? Are you effing kidding me?
So whomever it was, GTFO. The work that we do as developers benefits nobody but the people of these forums. We, the developers help make XDA how great it is. If you don't want to deal with developers, please, go back to stock. We don't need you to run our ROMs.
And to the rest of you, thank you for showing your support. Its a sad day when someone as nice as Scott is lost due to a few spoilt brats in the forums. And please, if you are using a custom ROM and you are enjoying it, tell your developer that you like it. Tell them that this phone became better because of their work. I promise you that we read the posts when we have time. And whenever we do it makes us feel a bit more warm and fuzzy inside.

+1 for hoping Scott ignores the bullies and comes back. His work has made a good phone great for me!

So the little whiney, self-entitled b!tches of xda strike again. Seriously, f*ck all of you little twerps that posted anything disrespectful to Scott. He's amazing, and makes an amazing ROM and you should all be ashamed of yourselves for driving him away. I swear to god, I hate what xda has become. there are only a select few that put in any hard work for the rest to reap the benefits of, and there are always a sh!t ton of brats who think that they paid for these ROMs when they paid for their phones. It doesn't work that way, you sniveling little d!ckheads. These devs don't work for the manufacturers, the carriers, or xda- they do it FOR FREE, FOR US, because they kick ass, and they deserve nothing but respect from ALL OF US. Seriously, I am issuing a blanket F*CK YOU to every douche on xda who ever talked sh!t to or about any dev here.
I am going to go through his threads and anyone I see talking any sh!t to or about Scott is from here on out permanently banned from receiving ANY of my case giveaways.
Gunny, kleeman, rohan, or any of the other forum regulars that I interact with on a regular basis, if you would be so kind as to help point out who the offenders are it would be greatly appreciated.

Sad thing is like at least 4 people had the same issue, and it's all from lack of reading.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Scott state a long time ago like cleanrom 2.1 days that CWM caused issues? And Scott also said he loved CWM and hated to switch from it?

Yep, back when the SD card wiping issues first started happening he told everyone not to use CWM and to use TWRP instead. Buuuut people don't want to do any actual reading so it becomes Scott's fault for not showing up at their doorstep and holding their hand for them when they flash his ROMs, cross the street, take a piss, what have you. Bottom line is if you flash, you assume ALL risk. It's your own damn fault for not reading. Even if you're flashing an updated version of the ROM you've been running for months, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS read the entire OP for changelog, flash instructions, etc. The moron in question said that it's because his xda app didn't put the warning in red but bottom line is it was still there. Had he READ THE ENTIRE OP, he would have seen the warning whether it was red, green, blue or purple with pink polka dots. His own damn fault, and at this point I'm glad his phone got eff'd up. Serves him right.
