Hi,
i recently bought a sensation and have rooted it
i need a good stable rom, nothing much fancy but fast
i have narrowed it down to two choices
Andriod Develpment HD 3.1.1
or
RCMix 234 v2.1
cause itll take ages for me to set the data up i need a stable one.
also i dont understand the CPU area of the two rooms
Andriod Develpment HD 3.1.1 says the cpu is controlled by O/C demon, is that both cpus are working together at screen on or just one.
RCMix 234 says that both cpus are on when screen is on and one is on when screen is off, nothing about O/C or anything.
both sound stable from the comments
any comments to clear this up would be great.
I used Android Revolution since 3.x.x and it was always fast and stable with good support. Bugs were fixed very fast because of the big community of this rom. At the moment I'm using Cm7 alpha but if I would go back to Sense I will choose ARHD again.
last ROM i had was 3.1.1 so I have no experience with 3.5.0
Well i think that Leedroid has a very stable and smooth rom that you can try out too. Been using Leedroid since i've rooted and am very pleased with it.

thanks for the replies
any idea on how the cpus work for each roms ?
im wondering if the ANHD rom is using both cpus at the same time and not when needed
I really think you should go with Android Revolution HD 3.1.1 i use it and its perfect its not that fancy but you can customize and add battery mods and stuff plus its really fast!!

CPU usage depends on the kernel except you use the dual core script by mike.
Faux kernel @ 1,67 works for me best with mikes ROM.
gone with andriod development hd 3.1.1
still setting it up, its taking soo long setting it up right.
ssh etc etc etc
anyway will extended quick setting from the insertcion rom work with this or does anyone know where i can find one for this rom ?
thats the last thing i need i think
The extendet quick settings from ARHD 2.x.x also working on 3.x.x.
You will find them in the second post of mikes thread under custom modifications.
I recommend InsertCoin 2.2.5 SSE, which is the fastest, most stable Sense-based Sensation rom I have used. Not flashy, a little eye candy with the CRT on and off animation being standard, but otherwise things are add-ons.
The others are good choices too, though. Can't really go wrong with either of them.
thanks everyone
I'm setting up android development hd 3.1.1 currently , its talking forever
today I see 3.5.1 is out :-(
prob wait for kernels 1.6 final rather than the beta then I may upgrade again
Use Sense until CM7 is out of alpha.
well I've gone with android development hd 3.1.1
just about finished with the apps and the passwords
prob stick with this as I don't listen to music much
shame sshdriod didn't start up, its cause of the adblocking
I had to use a different ssh
Done finally

First of all, Thanks to all HTC Sensation's Rom developers. We have quite a few. HTC Sensation is as of now one of the most supported devices…kudos to them...It is really appreciated.
I am just tester that switched from iphone(got sick of it) to Android about 1-1/2 to 2 years ago. I started with the amazing HTC HD2, then HTC Desire Z(t-mobile G2), T-Mobile LG-2X, and now the powerful HTC Sensation.
I have always looked for the best battery developed rom offered. For example on HTC HD2 , I could not find any better than Hyperdroid from pongster, or Virtuous on G2, Eagleblood on LG2X. These are just my modest opinion
I have tried about 10 different ROMs on my Sensation and so far the best I have found battery wise is Insertcoin….(as I said it is just my opinion). Insertcoin is fine and 40 to 50 % better compared to stock, but it does not compare to the battery life I was getting from Hyperdriodv11 from pongster (which with normal use lasted 1 1/2 to 2 days, on heavy use lasted the entire day). INSERTCOIN give a good 14 to 16 hours (normal use) which I cannot complaint about it, but o when I have heavy use I need to charge it at least once or twice a day.
I have only one Sensation and I have tested quite a few roms but no all. There are about 30 to 40 out there. I am posting 33, sorry if a miss others. I have tested quite a few so far would like to share my experiences, but I would also like other member opinions which may help me and others to make their best pick.
This a bashing or a pissing contest..it is just your opinion please be gently
I will appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

Too bad this poll hasn't gotten a larger voting result. I would love to see the poll with votes in the hundreds.
You forgot CM7 alpha 7.... ive tried a couple different roms and lees and mikes dont compare to CM7.
Not all SOCs are created equal
I have tried the following ROMs so far and have monitored battery usage on them with the Current Widget and logs.
1. ARHD 4.1.6
2. InsertCoin 3.4.4
3. Reverted AOSP
4. MIUI.us Latest
My best battery usage (lowest under 10Ma) is with InsertCoin's ROM. The other ROMs showed heavy battery drain(even without any other apps except stock), particularly with ARHD and Reverted AOSP. ARHD and AOSP use custom kernels unlike InsertCoin which uses stock by default. I don't however think the problem is with the ROM or Kernels. My phone SOC just cant seem to handle undervolting or any other kernel mods very well.
I love InsertCoin. VERY useful additions/changes from stock. I also love the speed on ARHD. Tough decision between the two but the battery life was the clincher so sticking with InsertCoin for now. I love the simplicity of MIUI but too many FCs at the moment. InsertCoin has been the most dependable ROM for my phone.
I am also going to try ARHD with some other kernels and see how that works.
Like I said, not all SOCs are created equal so mileage WILL vary. This poll is at best some kind of starting point for the battery conscious.
IMAO, CM7 is awesome, more than 1 day with medium use !

I've been using ARHD for about 2 weeks now and battery has been absolutely horrible. I cant seem to get more than 4 1/2 hours without getting to 25%. I'm going to try InsertCoin next. Can't wait for the ICS version on CM though!
Sense-O-Maniac Rom which is already debloated runs fast & batt life is awesome!
P3D is the best for me.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
It is Sense-o-Maniac and I love it
I understand those are the most popular sense 3.5, I now have Insertcoin's version, are there any big differences between them? should I give ARHD's a try? also if you have a better recommendation for another sense 3.5 rom I'd be happy to listen.
Between the two I would pick insertcoin. ARHD was just slow to me, and drained batteries if I looked at it weird.
You could try giving Senseay a try, heard good things abt it.

Okay so not a big difference then, thanks mate.

I find InsertCoin ROM's to be about the fastest sense versions. I also like the S3ns3ay versions too.
Both of these are followers of the Bricked kernel, which is probably a little quicker than the Faux kernel in ARHD. However, speed and power can consume more battery and I think Faux is working on a battery efficient kernel, where Show-P is a little less battery conscious.
I started out with ARHD switched to InsertCoin primarily for the amaze camera and found I liked the feel and speed of that rom better. I've since switched to CM7 selfkang 9 and am stuck in limbo as to what I want to do because I'm not 100% happy with what I have. Also from my experience both ARHD and InsertCoin have so many additional apps that I have no idea why they put them on the rom I ended up cleaning up the rom major after I installed it. I have heard that bulletproof is a great rom though. I may try that out. I'm just tired of setting up my phone after each flash.
Only you can get a feel for what you like.
InsertCoin and ARHD are pretty similar, others offer different visuals and features.
Nandroid is your friend!!
Try 'em all until you're happy. Just be scrupulous with your backups.
Different devs have different philosophies.

TaDa!!!
P.
2nd day with IC and I'm seeing huge improvements in battery life (probably ARHD's 1.5ghz overclock was the culprit) I'm very satisfied with it so far, thanks everyone for the input.
Neither. CM7.
Everything
I have taken my Sensation on all the rides in the park and keep going back to my ARHD backup, the bugs i had aren't there in 4.1.5 so i think faux has had some success lately, my battery life is much better than it was in Stock mode. same factory battery. however not all phones are created equally and not everyone runs the same apps, i think the apps loaded are the key to better or worse luck.
Do you run it @1.5ghz ?

Does anyone know the most "stable" AOSP Senseless Rom? I'm sick of the battery life on Sense roms, and I have 2000mAh battery. If anyone can help, i would appreciate it.

Download the newest firmware from there that suites you and flash it from the bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1098849
Flash Android Revolution HD with the setup you want in 4EXT.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1470497
Download V41 and go through Aroma picking exactly what you want, requires 4EXT recovery.
This is the best option because you get the reliability of ARHD but can customize what you need to get to stock ICS

I just said that to someone in General, and it applies here. ARHD + AOSP upgrade = Best, customizable combo rom.
If battery is a major factor, consider Sharpy STRPT CM9. I am 24hr off charge at 42% with my normal usage, normally dead by late evening. Overnight (7hrs) I lost 3%, still syncing email etc.

OpenSensation CM9 is excellent, CRT animations, good battery life, very customizable etc .

You should be pretty safe with any of the top ROM's at the moment as they're all run by quite experienced programmers.
Running what I have in my signature is giving me unbelievable results in the battery area, as well as performance, it's quite incredible actually.
you shoud try Virtuous Inquisition: D
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
VI 4.0.1 hands down!If you need a solid kernel to go with it Faux 004 is the way to go.
For Sense-less ROM, I think Virtuous is a solid option.
ARHD with Sense removed is also a good option, but requires a bit more tinkering from my understanding.
I've tried ExtremeSensation Prime 5 and found that to be a very stable ROM with good battery life on my XE.
Senseless and from what I can see, no major problems and almost everything is AOSP. Worth a try.

I'm back on Revolution HD for the moment as I needed to revert back to Sense for a while.
I've tried loads of ROMs in the past year, and am currently happily using Reaper.
Reaper's very fast, but unfortunately does not support the microphone of the stock HTC headphones. Which turns out to be a problem for me.
So, I've started looking for a new ROM for daily usage.
- Stability. JB seems very cool (and I may flash it a few hours to check it), but too early for daily usage for me.
- Speed. No GUI lag (or very little) is a huge plus.
- Sense. I'm running AOSP now (Reaper) and only miss a few Sense (3.5) widgets and programs, but having these back is a plus. Not really required though, but nice. Not having kernel 3 source (yet) hinders development/tweaking.
- Active support. Not necessary if a ROM is bugfree ofc, but a big plus.
No, after checking the development forums I think I these ROMs may be what I would like:
I think I have plenty options, but do not enough time to try them all extensively, any suggestions on which on be try?
Speed + no bugs are the biggest pros for me. If it has sense, even better.
- CyanogenMod 9
- ICE_DS 4.1
- Fallout Evolution 4.4.0
- ... other?
If you're a sense person, then
Endymion
Or
Fallout
Pure source then
CM9
Or
aokp
Or
cm10 (although still had issues)
Sywepd form my DsereiS
I've run Endymion for quite a while, but the GUI lag got annoying in the end.
I fear that all Sense roms have this, all my sense experiences were laggy at some point. Or is there a rom tweaked so that the sense is not laggy at all?
CM9 is a serious option for me, but only after I've ruled out all current (actively maintained) sense roms
Speed, stable, sleek. Yes, you may go on with ICE DS.
Why? ICE DS is Sense Rom, which by its nature, it support greater hardware compatibality.
I've tried many Aokp or CM9 rom, they were great, but doesnt have that kind if durabality. ICE DS is one of the finest modded rom, which improves battery life. Even thou im using half dead battery, it stands in like 12 hours heavy usage ( most of the time Whatsapping and Tweeting for like 8 hours within that 12 hours, soft keyboard and touch vibrate, and vibrate silent mood ) .
Now let say about games, well im not that kind of more into phone gaming. No. I hate playing games on my phone. But, I've tried Tap Tap Revenge 4 on both sense and aokp/cm9. There are lots of difference between performance and others. Such as freezing, spiking, fc. Most games run better on Sense.
Well, Im not promoting this ICE DS. To be exact, im promoting Sense Rom. You can try fallout or others thou. And as what you asked for, here's my suggestion. Feel free to read other suggestions. Enjoy your saga boi!

CM10, is my daily driver now
Don't care much about camera and Bluetooth.
Who wants ICS when JellyBean is here
Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!
I don't care about BT either, but the camera is important.
Wifi hotspot is very important for me too, but maybe I can use a 3rd party app like "Wifi Tether" for that?
Will try CM10 soon. Still satisfied with sense after comeback from aokp.

I use MIUI v4 2.7.13 with AOKP Kernel (smartassv2 & sio), stable and good battery life with moderate usage
I'm now running PrimoS v4.1 but is Fallout V5.0 better?
Also does Fallout V5.0 has the Beats Audio integrated?
Thanks in advance.
Yes and yes.
primo is quite old now, the latest fallout has a custom kernel incorporated so you can overclock which makes it a slicker experience
Sywepd form my DsereiS
+1 on that.
I'm advancing to ICS/GB and not sure what roms are up to spec.
I've been on Endymoin for a while now and it's been great!
Basically looking for stock with some extras.
I agree with Ben. I am using Fallout V5 and OC the CPU a bit and it runs very smooth it's stable. Only issue I have run in too was my own user error
2nd it's off course too easy to test it yourself as making a ROM backup takes `10minutes. Restore the new ROM and find out yourself. That's the way I do it, because no other experience other then yourself is the best 1.
PS. CM10 is also sexy
I'm also using fallout 5.0 and I think this is the best rom for our device.
With the new kernel its much faster and feels lighter, and the great thing is: everything works! (great battery life btw)
CM 10 is definitely very sexy, but it's still pretty unstable as far as I understand from the thread, so i;m sticking with fallout for a while
Anyways, testing for urself is also in my opinion always the best way to find out which is best for you.
good luck
Fallout v5 is good, but when you scroll desktops there is distortion clock widget with the weather, today established CoolDroid v 7.0 with kernel Falloutl v1, all very smoothly and quickly works with a staff of settings of the CPU, but there is one significant for me bug - backlights are always ON.

Best firmware for my Nik Project X. I made a number of changes in it, replacing part of system applications, the kernel, added the latest version of Fallout Tweaks, slightly edited build.prop and the result is a fully working great firmware.
Special thanks to nikhil007mmus, lowveld for the source material.
In my opninion, if you combine virtuous infinity 1.35 beta with amidabuddha's tweaked kernel and if you set up the governors and schedulers well, then you get a rom what we could call 'almost perfect' But, if you can live without the sense 4 recent apps and the virtuous tweaks Fallout is definitely faster
For me, Endymion is the best as I've almost tried all Sense base roms here but I keep on going back to Endymion....
Fallout V5.0
Personally I'm using fallout v 5.0 and it seems to be working great so far.
I'm using it as a daily driver and have run into no issues so far.
Hope to see a version with jelly bean out soon
The new Paranoid Android v2.14 is very nice, after i flashed the 77n Kernel, no battery drain, works fast and looks great. I love it !
