Hey guys I have a few questions about the 3.0 sense roms out there.
What are your guys experiences with these roms? Are they stable? Is 3.0 too much for the Inspire? And is it worth it? And if you would recommend a sense 3.0 rom, which one would it be?
Thank you for your answers
I've only tried Virtuous Unity so i cant speak on Kingdom. I think it was pretty stable, not a whole lot of lag except the 3D effect when switching homescreens was a little bit laggy but nothing that would make you notice (i did) but all in all it is great. Try one of them out you'll love it.
I've been on Virtuous Unity since 1.25 was released and haven't had any problems at all. I'm new to android and have only flashed 3 roms on my Inspire but from what I've read VU might be the best Sense 3.O rom for the Inspire. The extras you get like the lockscreen controls and built in task manager are pretty good and I use them often. Also VU 1.26 was just released earlier today which should improve an already great rom. Give it a try for yourself and see how you like it but I think you will love it.
I've used RCMix3D the last few days, and it works flawlessly. The weather sound effects are annoying as hell, but I think you can remove them. I haven't had any lag on that ROM at all.
Thanks for the responses guys. I'm about to root for the first time ever, and I was really looking forward to having the very cool sense 3.0 on my phone. One more question, is general call quality, sms, and gps pretty solid on these roms?
I just rooted a few days ago and instantly flashed the RCMix3D ROM. All of those things are flawless on that one, but there is an audio fix on that thread if you need it. Takes about 10 seconds to flash it.
Cool sounds great, off to read the how-to's I guess lol
Lol almost forgot, is battery good with these roms as well?

Good luck! When I did it, it took me about 4 hours, plus flashing the ROM. I had some issues with flashing first off, but it was only cause I didn't do a full wipe. Make sure you do that if your ROM requires it!
How can I make sure I do a full wipe? Will it ask me?

And your ROM on your SD card. Make sure you backup your stuff, or just make a list of your apps, and then when you are done rooting, download ROM Manager. Go to "install ROM from SD card", and there will be an option to browse your SD card for the ROM. Browse to the full wipe zip file first, run it, and THEN flash your ROM. That's what I did, and it worked after the second try. If it gets stuck at all, what I did was remove the battery and hold down the bottom volume rocker while booting, then just use CWM to flash back to a backup or ROM.
Does the Rom you mentioned come with Google navigation? The app with the blue arrow icon.

Yup, sure does. Used it yesterday.

Yes and yes and yes for me. Rock solid.
I've used rcmix and am currently on virtuous unity. Both are awesome, no issues with stability or anything like that and both have been smooth and fast. My battery life when the phone is idle is great, maybe 1% every 90 minutes. When using the device though, battery is used up about the same as stock, maybe a little better.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Which is typically more stable and better on battery life, VU, or RC Mix? I'm using RCMix but VU looks pretty sweet, if not very similar
Also a question concerning radios. When rooting will I need a special radio for these roms? I know nothing about radios, the hack kit mentions the stock att radio as a choice, do I need to download that or is it already on the phone and I just need to boot it up? Or do I even need to mess with the radios? After clockwork, superuser, and rom manager is installed can I just flash this rom or do I need to mess with the radio? I'm worried because it seems the radio is what will brick your phone.
CoreDroid v7 is pretty nice, but Virtuous is probably as good as it gets. Fantastic rom that you should definitely take a look at.

CrystalPyramid with unity v3 beta 2 kernel. Beast. Keeping it for a while, definitely.
In fact iam using CoreDroid Sensation, because it is well looking to me. I hope it will be better soon, I used it on my dhd and I like the eye candy as well.
I actually tried Android Revolution HD but I don't like the stock style.
I think CoreDroid Sensation will be very fine with the Kernel from LeeDroid and some gimmicks like panorama what iam really missing this time. Why htc don't implement such a function into stock? weird.

Does anyone else have this on any other roms?

I saw the sneak peak video of CM7 on the Sensation and I'm super excited. The only thing that would hold me back from using CM7 on the Sensation would be the camera. I loved CM7 on my Desire, but the camera was terrible.
Sticking with LeeDroid for the time being but I am curious to see how that ROM based on 2.3.4 runs.

Now that the Virtuous Quattro's forum page on XDA is closed, i didn't know where to go...
I am having issues with the browser... All browsers i've tried, 4 to be exact, always seem to crash, regardless of which site i use. Anyone have the same issue or have a fix?
The phone always seems to reboot itself randomly, very annoying...
Secondly, there's no Mass storage/USB file transfer to the PC, has that been solved?
-------
Can anyone recommend me a ROM with full ICS Stock, (No Sense)? I've tried a few, but i was wondering if there is one with android beam or face unlock, or one where the wifi doesn't die every few minutes haha, (don't have data!)
Many great ones, but i would like one stable enough with no crashes or reboots
Or with a working video camera?
(I am new here... only 5 posts so yes, some of what i say MAY have been asked before or just seem foolish - i apologize in advance!)
Sensation 4G
I assume that your problem lies with an incompatible mod or a kernel issue...
Try CM7 or CM9? or Virtuous Inquisition...

Virtuous Inquisition

Currently I'm using Virtuous Inquisition, and it's almost perfect. It feels just like AOSP.
Or try CM9
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Thanks everyone!
I will definitely try the CM9, and i did use Inquisition at one point, super smooth and beautiful. However, its the sensation-Android 4 stock hybrid that bugged me, personally. The caller keeps crashing on me, but again, my opinion but i would like something different.
I'm even thinking about even trying Android Revolution HD... it looks soo tempting haha, even though i was trying to move away from sense, the speed and really customizable features is appealing!
Again, thanks everyone!
You could try HyperNonSense.
so ya, recently i have rooted and S offed with JP method
i wanted sense 4.0 badly so i flashed Ordroid 9.0.0
i was pretty good and everything works ok
but after 1 or 2 days of use, it seriously becomes damn SLOW and i have to clear up the RAM often to make everything smoother.
everything loads slow, Google Chrome is slow, app drawer comes up sow......like u get the point
then i tried CM9 RC2
honestly this was the best thing that ever happened to my HTC Sensation :good:
it was fast and it is still fast after a month of use.....almost everything works perfectly...... it soooo sooo much better.
im in love with it
BUT
one thing which i really hate is its camera
like the pictures which it takes is horrible ! even worse then my old Nokia N96 !
the camera software is bad(since most probably it was made for the galaxy nexus)
so ya the pictures lighting is bad, even if i take a picture in bright sunlight....also it cant take any wide or high resolution pics
also it cant take full 1080P videos
so can anyone tell how i can get that epic camera back to my CM9, like flashing the original camera app or smthn like that
i did do sm research and i found out that HTCs original camera app wont work in cm9 since it was only made for sense
so is there any CM9 like fast Sense 4.0 ROM out there ? is OpenSensation any better ? also i dont want sense 3.6 since its old
i just need a better HQ camera with CM9, Beats sound and HTCs unique features
and ya also WiFi tether if possible
thanks
I'm using elegancia with sense 3.6 and it's working great. If you want sense 4 only, I heard that venom is good.

These are my [size = Alpha Centauri]preferences[/size = Alpha Centauri], so don't take them for granted. What has worked for me doesn't have to do the job for you, it's best to test all ROMs and find out which one suited you best.
Sense 3.6:
InsertCoin worked best for me, because of its outstanding battery life, smoothness, absence of lags, fcs and bugs
Sense 4:
I can't tell, because I dislike it
CM9:
HyperSensation worked best for me, but I can't say I liked it...it was best out of CM9
AOSP:
Virtuous Inquisition, because of the same reasons as InsertCoin
Hope I helped
enacting onyers
ARHD is the Best ROM
If u Love the SENSE Camera n like the smoothness and polished Finish of SENSE 4.0 AND want hell lot of Tweakss..... thn go for the ViperS ROM. U wont be disappointed. :good:
Link is in my signature.
I've ready enjoyed using android revolution hd. It's sense 3.6, but runs really well!

Just a quick note r.e. Virtuous Inquisition. It's AOSP look and feel BUT is still based on a Sense ROM, i.e. it's been de-sensed as much as possible and still has Rosie, the last time I used it it still had the HTC Camera. This is unlike CM9 which is a true AOSP ROM from the ground up.

Install ViperS, you wont be disappointed. And once you use a Sense 4 ROM you wont go back to Sense 3.6.

ya i just installed Virtuos.... its not true AOSP, it still has a Sense in it.... but u can flash the HQ camera mod and the beats sound
also its no way near as smooth and good as CM9
i also checked out OpenSensation, eventhough the camera is better its no way near to the original cam.
So is there any way of gettin the camera good in CM9(a true AOSP ROM) and possibly beats ?
try using SmartDroidBerserk Mode its an awesome rom, sense roms are a bit sluggish.

It's some time since I've used CM, I liked it a lot, then again the camera didn't bother me too much. VI was a good substitute and with a decent kernel was pretty slick. Pure AOSP "should" in general be quicker than Sense based ROMs as it doesn't have the same overhead.
You'll NEVER get beats on CM as it's Sense dependant. CM has its own equaliser which by reputation is better than beats anyway.
r.e. a decent camera in CM have a browse in the CM development thread. I'm sure there will be some comments about it. I'm afraid I can't comment as it's some time since I was on CM, mind you CM10 will be on my phone later today for a look see.
Hey, checkout ARHD(Android revolution XE /w beats Audio) love this ROM check it out. Its fully loaded with everything you would want/need. Fast an stable.
And if you wanna change the status bar just look at sense 3.6 themes or 4.0 in the app store. My only complaint is I hate the settings menu visual layout its sense.

Hey guys,
I just flashed my phone with the most recent ARHD rom w/the double shot camera and I've noticed a big issue with the camcorder. First of all, it will force close if i try to record anything in 720P. When I lower the resolution down to 480P it will record, but as soon as I stop it force closes. On the camera side, I notice that burst shot causes the camera program to freeze up but that's not a big issue. Let me know if you guys have a solution for the camcorder. Otherwise, i'll have to change to a different rom.
Thanks!
My wife has ARHD on her phone and has no such issue.
I would do a FULL wipe (try 4EXT recovery), and reflash ROM and camera. You may want to re-download one or both.
If you decide to switch, try Energy ROM.

someone in my ARHD thread found a fix for doubleshot camera recording, try that.
also, burst shot freezing is normal, since our camera hardware isn't designed for that.

Sweet. I'm going to try it out this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again.
So I finally got around to flashing the tweak and I'm happy to report that the videocam now records at 720P (though it force crashes if I were to preview the video right after it finishes recording but I'm fine w/that). I have a question regarding the battery. I used UOT to create a custom battery icon that shows percentage. The tweak removed that mod. Is it still safe to reflash my original battery mod?
Thanks!
I am about to flash this and try it thanks for posting this guys

The only thing that I do not like about Virtuous roms is that they do not update their roms often. A there are some things that do not work but on most of the other roms they do. I would not recommend you going back to Unity rom
