ok so i finally found a rom that i love which is leedroid......but know i wanna what kernel is my best option????? im looking at some battery saving kernels lol.....if there is such a thing.....and does the camera mode really work?
Stock maybe best at third this time. The only other option is Virtuous v7, I'm testing it right now but it doesn't seem any better than stock right now. Mind you its only day one so time will tell.

Preliminary results don't seem that flash, but I am running at 1.5 ghz.

If you want battery life, you could also underclock to 1 GHz. However, you will need a kernel that supports OC/UC

What's recommended for the leedroid ROM?

you want good battery life download coredroid 2.1 i still have a 100% battery after 8hrs check the pic
How much usage?

Right now every kernel save Stock is built for 2.3.3, so I recommend staying stock for now. Lee added smartass governor so the kernel embedded in LD 2.2 may be better than full stock.
Unity V6 and V7 work with 2.3.4 ROMs, but my testing showed no advantages in speed or battery usage. YMMV of course.
For now, I would be patient and wait until HTC posts source code for 2.3.4 kernels. When that happens you can expect s flood of scaling, overclocking and battery saving kernels. For now, I recommend staying stock.

Ok weird......I see everyone talking about unity v6 and v7........I'm using v8 right now

I am running InsertCoin version and it's faster than the stock rom I was running. Although, I am mainly comparing Launcher Pro in stock vs Launcher Pro in XE.
It's just u. Insertcoin is the fastest sense Rom I've used
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Yeah but what version of insert coin are you using? Is 2.2.5sse the fastest?

XE is flying with faux's kernels.
Android Revolution HD is running slightly faster than before.

In my sig, I am running InsertCoin 2.5.4 (SSE). They have 2.5.5-1 SSE available now.
Running the revolution hd xe based rom. Its pretty dam fast, not sure about battery life with the faux kernel though. Though am still running in a new battery
ARHD 3.6.0 XE is faster than all the previous versions.. I love it!
+1.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
The benchmark scores might be better, but Revolution HD used to be faster in every day usage... It lags on home screens now :\
I tried it on two different Sensations.
I'll try Pyramid3D now.
I've heard that the XE based ROMs have a problem with CPU1 being turned off for most of the time, causing the slow down in performance.
No one has confirmed this yet though, but my benchmarks are really crappy compared to pre-XE based ROMs.
I'm just using the stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262539 by EddyOS
Got bored of using custom roms with the faux kernel as it seems to annihilate the battery and I got bored of having to do battery pulls because the phone would suddenly just not work!
The above rom works fine, stable and fast enough
Cheers for the recommendation
Could be mods for pre-XE ROMs don't work as well but I'm sure that's not it. I've had no issues with mine tho, altho I do use Show's 'Bricked' kernel

I got an anker battery to help with the battery performance, but after flashing ARHD,InsertCoin and CoreDroid, my battery life became worse than the HTC Battery. It was fine prior to the introduction of all these different Kernels.
Now I'm back on stock, it's much better, so thanks again
I have an anker battery and am running ARHD 3.6 and it runs fast, lasts a bit longer than my stock ROM, and is much nicer than stock. I use TMO 4G in the US, and the speeds I get on this rom now are much higher than they ever were on stock.

What we mean is when comparing XE based custom ROMs with pre XE based custom ROMs.
My phone shut down all of a sudden in a call and wouldnt boot unless i removed the batter and retried. Also batter life seems a bit lower with XE ROM ( 3.1.1 vs 3.5.2)
No lie, it does feel slower, and for some reason more bloated. I wish dev's would drop it or make the regular one and the XE rom, then again it's a lot more work but still.
i personally don't benchmark so i'm not sure how xe roms are compared to pre-xe in that department, but from experimental use (give or take a few days on it) the InsertCoin XE rom (using the bricked kernel) was one of the smoothest sense roms i've used, but that's just me.
Hy there.i am the new owner of a super smartphone named sensation. I want to know what rom should i use for best performance and great battery life? I want to chose between the stock one, cm7 cyanogen, or android hd revolution. I see that most of you chose the revolutiob hd.....why?
I notice that i want a fully work rom, with all the features work properly.....so....what is the best rom for you?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
There is no "best" rom. Depends what you need. If you're new to the Sensation I suggest that you stay with the Stock ROM and kernel. In my personal opinion it's the most comprehensive solution that doesn't cause any side effects. I tried quite some of custom roms and either they where suffering from poor performance, contained bugs or just the battery drainage was unbearable. Not to mention that staying on the stock rom enables OTA updates.
What jackos is saying is right, there is no best rom. Its up to you to read through the threads and find a couple you like the look of. Then start flashing roms, eventually you'll find the one that does what you want. As long as you make backups you pretty much can't go wrong.
Thank you peopele for the answers.....

I would recommend giving Coredroid a shot.
They have released their final version, (2.7) it's a super stable ROM that i use as my daily, has great battery life (once calibrated) it's nice and fast and works without needing much (if any) tweaking.
But the best thing you can do is back up your current rom and try flashing a few, see what you like best. Sense or No-Sense, themed, stock, 3.0 or 3.5 there are many options.
Before I settled on Coredroid I tried CM7 and ARHD. I loved CM7 but I had a few issues with the ROM (mainly due to the camera) but I love CM7 and the support and updates that frequently get pushed out.
ARHD was great, everything was all good with that ROM, battery life was good once calibrated but I had issues with MMS that I couldn't fix so I tried out Coredroid and loved it.
The issues I had with CM7 and ARHD could have been fixed by me if I had the time and patience but Coredroid worked out of the box so was a winner for me.
Android Revolution
I use android revolution. I am a rather novice user, dont know all the ins and outs of Android (or Linux) and i think ARHD is pretty easy and stil you benefit from being rooted and having some more control...
That said the only other ROMS i tried are Revolver and RCMix, but i liked ARHD better because of the Sensation XE "unlock"...
Please tell me if the android revolution really makes an 1.5 gh procesor.....because i can't see how it does it.......it doesn't make sense.........it use less ram then the stock one?
Wich rom use less ram than the stock one??

Apparrently the sensation processor was underclocked, so most of the custom ROMS simply remove that underclocking. Regarding using less RAM, that is due to the ROM developers removing some pre-installed apps and services that consume memory.

All info is right here. You WILL find out answers quicker if you just read through guides than if you'll wait for someone to reply. In case of any problem, probably someone already had it and solution is found = search. In (unlikely) case of a unique problem, you'll have all people on this forum trying to help you. Good luck in learning.

1st is wrong, 2nd is partially right.
CPU is clocked at whatever speed by using CUSTOM KERNEL, it has nothing to do with rom.
RAM is normally freed by more aggressive task killer, sense prioritizing (major) + some apps removal (minor).
Again, all info is here, just spend an hour or two looking into it, will save you a lot of time down the line
Damn, tinky1, I can't believe you wrote this nonsense.
Of course Sensation has got a stock underclocked processor. You better read the Qualcomm MSM8260 whitepaper before you try to prove someone wrong.
Miui.us 11/26/11 FTW
I just have to say it. I have tried a ton of ROMS and just made my first donation to a ROM by the name of Miui. While bluetooth doesn't work for me it is still the best ROM.
My favorite things are...
Battery Indicator as a line running across the top
themes, there are just so many
battery and signal is amazing
I'd really like to see some signal strength tests for miui v sense roms, is there really that much difference between them?

First, if you want to stick to tech specs, then read that msm8x60 is native at 1.2-1.5, so TECHNICALLY its neither underckocked or overclocked between these frequencies.
Second, processor is not physically set to 1.2, its all on sw level.
Third, he said custom roms remove underclocking-wrong, just as I explained, its.custom KERNEL which deals.with clocks.
Fourth , before you try to prove someone wrong who is proving someone else wrong, do some thinking

I guess you don't know yourself what you're talking about
About the rom-kernel thing, I would agree with that if custom roms wouldn't overwrite kernels. So if you install a custom rom you change the clock too. Makes sense to me.
It depends what KERNEL is included with the ROM. So no, custom ROM does not under/over clock UNLESS custom KERNEL is included. So we are back to kernel being responsible for clock again.
Re your quote from another thread. Read again, carefully and take the note of word "kernel".
You seem to see what you want to see, instead of looking into post and understanding what it actually means. Re-read from my first post in this thread.

LOL, you're so stubborn
You said that it isn't true that Sensation processor is underclocked. Right? Or shall I quote you again?
brett_c wrote that custom roms remove underclocking. That's correct, because if we compare 1,2Ghz to 1,5Ghz it's clearly that technically speaking one speed is underclocked to another.
Another thing is that you wrote that CPU speed has nothing to do with a rom. That's not true, because we use cpu controllers to adjust the governors and frequencies. I could cook you a rom that runs at 500Mhz max without changing the kernel. So it's not only a damn kernel thing.
Ok, whatever. You seem to expand into too many things here.
As I said, nevermind.
There are too many IFs here to explain without going into it too deep.
I was only pointing out that processor=CPU=hardware is not physically underclocked on OG Sensationcompared to XE. It is downclocked using kernel.
Peace.

Is this possible? Has someone made one already or is there a way to enable it? I've never had luck with custom kernels, they always drain my battery faster, but I can't live without sweep2wake now that I've tried it
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
For all I know, s2w is part of the kernel, so stock kernel could not handle it.
What you could do, is port the code showp added for the s2w to the vanilla htc kernel source and compile it.
To be honest, it seems an overkill. There are enough custom kernels have this option, and most can act as the stock kernel given the right parameters.
Try Bricked or Faux's kernels.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
You should configure your ROM after installing a custom kernel e.g. frequencies, governor etc.
I never expereineced extreme battery drain with custom kernels (compared to stock).

I always do, but it doesn't really help battery. Just makes performance a little snappier. For me its been like this on every device I've owned. Custom kernels just seem to drain my battery faster than stock even after lowering frequencies, changing governor's, undervolting, etc. I think sometimes less is more when it comes to kernels, id like to just run stock kernel but need sweep2 wake. Also I've used both faux and bricked. Both great kernels by awesome devs, just would like something a little less modified and feature packed

Hi guys
I'm from the HTC EVO 3D section of the forum and I know this question is usually frowned upon but recently my sister's phone (Sensation XE) has become laggy as hell and very buggy. She's come from an iphone and is not used to this kinda stuff and has no idea about rooting/custom roms, etc. So I have offered to borrow her phone for a day or two and root it/put on a custom ROM for her which will hopefully sort out these problems and give credence to my claim that Android is better than iOS.
The reason I'm asking this question is because I just don't have the time to test out different ROMS. I need to root it and put one on as soon as pos and then give the phone back to her. (She doesn't live with me so I can't be changing ROMS all the time for her, and she needs her phone urgently)
What I am looking for is recommendations on a very fast and stable ROM with good battery life? Preferably Sense 4.0 but if that is too buggy/battery hog, then I'm fine with Sense 3.6. Just need it to be snappy and as stable as possible because I won't be around much to tweak it and sort out loadza problems if they arise in the future.
Thanks in advanced for your help.
Sense 4.0 looks good but it's not very good with battery (i get max 7-8 hours from it). So i'd recommend a Sense 3.6 ROM.
My favourite and the most stable one i know is ARHD

If you want a stable and really fast room either use a de-sensed ROM or use insert coin

Hi there, It's really best to have your sister try out SEVERAL different roms then make a choice.we have so many great roms to choose from and is really a matter of personal taste as to which one to use .do her a favor and let her experience different ones and choose what she liked best ! I'm running viper right now and I love the customization options, but it's always best to try out SEVERAL then have her choose. Hope this helps. Best wishes to you both I do hope you take this advice. It's really best to form your own personal opinion when it comes to roms.

Vipers 1.1.0 is the best sense 4.0 rom out there.It has great tweaks and it is stable.your sis may not like cm9 or aokp.Go for viper
Viper or a few other sense 4 roms are a good choice...
Cheers for the help guys.. Will be sure to check those roms out.
@ realsis - Cheers for the suggestion, and I know what you mean, but in this case it is extremely unlikely to happen. She doesn't have the time or desire in testing out loadza different roms. This is probably why the iphone is better for most people because you're given a fast and simple OS, and everything just works and is super smooth. Most people are happy with that and rightly so. Personally I'll spend ages looking for the "perfect" rom, but the reality is that most people just don't care.
No pun intended but also lack the experience in flashing rom's and kernel I would suggest a rooted stock Rom for now and let her play around with so she will get used to it and then later on go a little more advanced and then let her take it out for spin to see how she likes it oh keep in mind even on a rooted stock Rom there's no lag like it is on a stock Rom that isn't rooted and for the kernel check out this one for the kernel and there's mod that go's with it as well im running it now and its awesome here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432211

The fastest, smoothest ROM is Mike 1887's Android Revolution HD's. She can also have Beats Audio with the ROM.
TouchCream is the best, fastest and smoothest of them all! Just click on the banner in my signature
Word of warning: viperS is a great sense 4 ROM, its wonderful, but install a different kernel. The bricked kernel that comes with the ROM causes it to lag. The viper thread is filled with people suffering lag on it. I suggest seb's (link in Sig) or faux123's. Faux's forces both cpu's online so it may be a bit worse for battery, but I can't make that call, others seem to do well with it.
If you still have doubts, ARHD sense 3.6 will give the best stock appearance without the lag.

May have to go for that one then. Like I said, she has no interest in swapping around and flashing ROMS, so it'll very much likely be a one time job with no testing of others.
As it is your sisters phone and you don't want to constantly be messing with it and her having issues with it. I'd recommend Android Revolution HD. It is the closest thing you can get to the stock ROM. It's fast and smooth.
