whenever i wanna use sense its insertcoin and CM7 when i dont wanna. i suggest using IC if you dont wanna deal with all these bugs that are present in CM7 because its only an alpha. Im not saying that CM7 isnt usable, but you might not be satisfied with some missing features
Try both, do a backup, you can always come back. I am running cm7.

i was on ARHD and im about to flash IC.. im just too new to try CM7, maybe later.
I stick with IC because baad's releases are generally very stable and he's crazy quick to fix stuff when things aren't working. Plus his rom is as fast as any out there. I do play with the CM7 releases but find myself missing some sense stuff like the camera, keyboard, general ease of customization and proper sizing of wallpaper.
I guess CM7 is supposed to be fast, but I really haven't missed much speed with any of the sense roms tbh. As long as I can play the occasional game and emulate PSX smoothly, I really don't care if sense is running in the background and "hogging up resources".
Can i have a link on both CM7 and IC for 2.3.3 Sensation thanks!

It's all personal preference when it comes down to it. Sense vs. Vanilla. Honestly, I was missing Sense a lot when I switched over to CM7 a few days ago, but the only thing I really miss is the camera, and now I just replaced it with Vignette. If you need the Sense stuff then I'd say go with InsertCoin (I've never used it. I was on ARHD before I went to CM7). I don't really see any of the bugs that people are talking about for CM7 other than not being able to record 1080p without it rebooting on you. One thing I did find though is that my battery meter isn't exact and it's kind of annoying me and I can't figure out how to fix it.
Try both, and do nandroid backups. I'd say a day or two on both and you'll know which one you want.
Depends on your preferences. If you like have all the sense goodies you can flash the IC right now, expecially the new sense3.5 version is really stable and fast, else if you like have an android stock experience with low impact on your device resources and an incredible high responsive system CM7 is the way to go.
This said, i must underline the fact that in CM7 there are some thing that must be tuned up and are sightly less enjoyable and pratical compared to the Sense rom's equivalent sector. EG: the camera in CM7 does really bad when it comes to some shot that goes beyond the typical photo, and the addition of the touch to focus in the last version is not enough to close the gap, and this occurs also in social integration and some other aspect.
Generally i choose a sense rom, but i remove al the bloatware (watch, locations in primis) with TitaniumBackup and i'm just fine. With the last IC i have 190mb of RAM free in idle, and a surprisingly responsive phone, wich is great for me.
PS: i hope my english is good enough, it is some time i don't practice it up now
I am a bit new to all this. Have rooted my sensation. Looking forward using IC roms!

CM7 is basically bug free. If it were any other CM dev it'd be classified as an RC...
What are "all the bugs"?
I alternate alot between incertcoin and cm7 I just can't decide I love them both. It depends on what you like.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Now which ROM between the two, is the way to go for speeds?
And what are the pros and Cons of each of the 2, IN YOUR OPINION!
For speed ? I would say cm7 with out a doubt
Pros about cm7. Nice interface, minimalistic design, fast, snappy ,cm7 theme chooser, Cyanogenmod settings! Close to stock and very light
Cons- still has a few bugs. Dialer ,camera
Bland compared to sense
Ic pros- has Sense , is really smooth and plenty fast for most, camera ,dialer , lockscreen,nice widgets and ui ,keyboard ,might have beats depending on the Rom you get, some other HTC apps. Nice animations and effects.
Cons- its quite heavy so not as snappy as cm7 but insert coin is really smooth.

I've tried both and I can say I prefer IC, But after all it really comes to what features you want from your phone, I really recommend you to try both or even other great roms that are offered on XDA.
I personally prefer Sense 3.5 (Therefor IC) because of the awesome widgets and how they integrate with the system.
If you are looking for speed and speed only my advice is go and flash CM7 right now. But, if you care something about social integration, camera, better ui/animation and a set of truely useful and integrated widgets take some time on the IC and judge if it's fast enough for you
Or you can use boot manager and have the best of both worlds.
I have a 3D, but since the sensation is very similar I could honestly say cm would fly on you guys device. Not trying to be bias but on another note I think that AOSP is more healthier for are phones.

You're probably right, but no one can make me give up my Sense.
I, I love my Sense like a love song, baby. And I keep hittin repeat peat peat peat peat
CM7 is quick, but that's like saying u slept with the uglier chick because she was skinnier.
Praos of CM7 are that it's fast, consistent, and backed with high qual developers with stringent standards.
Cons are that all of these CM7 devs are so Spartan in their barebones approach that the phone is lacking in some areas. Not having a full functioning camera that can record hd vid was a dealbreaker for me. I also found that I missed the Sense keyboard.
I had CM7 on my Sensation for one day. It was very fast, especially the boot time was very short.
The interface is ok, but not as nice as Sense. I love Sense, although it is not that fast, i dont know. As I had several reboots with CM7, I switched so the new Stock with Sense 3.5.
Later, when Lee is back, I will go back to LeeDroid. Had there some random reboots, too. Hopefully he adds Sense 3.5
I am currently using Cyanogen Mod 7 and realizing that I don't like it @ all. The camera is pretty much ****. And it cuts out sound a lot. And I'm kinda feining to go back to sense. So i wanna know if there are any good and worthy Sense 3.5 2.3.5 roms or a 100% AOSP rom, Fast, battery efficient, themed would be nice, over clocked, and all the other goodies.

Me, too. But I'm finding 4.1.3 a bit laggy. Wondering if Insertcoin would be better, and I'm trying to find out what the differences are, but info seems scarce. The advice seems to be: "test it and see for yourself".
like eddyOS said, its subjective.
you need to try out the different roms to find what you like.
i tried practically all the roms, almost all gave me this same problem (mobile internet not working and bad signals) until i found a few and went on trying and testing it and got the one that suits me.
What works for me may not work for you.... and besides, though we have same phone, our experience with the ROMs here is unique with each other...
if you ask me, my bet would be Baad (IC), Mike (ARHD), and Ctdroid's work (no offense to other devs) .... Reason? i dont have problems migrating back and forth with those ROM's + great support from the respective teams... If you want SENSEless, check Melvin and Xboarder56's work...

Sense is ****. Try MIUI camera if you don't like the CM7 one. You should stick with CM7 rom though, it's the best.

And because YOU think stock android is "****ty and boring" as quoted in another post of yours, that means it is? Pot calling the kettle black bro.
No, just cause I call it **** doesn't mean I'm right. I've never said I am. BUT I'm saying you're wrong to call a ROM 'the best' as there's no such thing. The 'best' ROM is whatever the user thinks it is.
I use MY own ROM the I'VE cooked as, for me, it's the best as it doesn't EXACTLY what I want it to.
All I'm trying to get across is the OP is going to have to try different ROMs and make up their own mind. I'd say that it's worth trying CM7 but I cannot live without the Sense widgets and the general smoothness of Sense. CM7 just isn't as nice in MY eyes, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder
---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------
Also meant to add, once CM7 is out of alpha/beta I'll probably give it a go again and see if it's better than last time I used it. I'm quite looking forward to a proper, official MIUI release as I quite like that
CM7 should be good once it actually comes out of Alpha...I hope. Loved it on my N1. Still having problems though...but it is alpha.

Ive been flashing since the first roms were around on the G1. I like to check out every rom offered for my phone and as of now im back on sense (just like the widgets). But like anyone will tell you there is no "best" updates from all our great devs come out daily.
After testing a lot (if not all) roms on sensation, I found Synergy's latest r85 to be top dawg at the moment. Heres my setup, no problems at all so far its fast, stable, and battery life is great
Flashed in this order:
Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193089
Kernel (flashed recommended 1.2 and then cam fix right after): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256668
Im on 10.14 radio cause it seems to give me best data/batter life, its also what synergy devs are using.
lemme kno what you think
u have to find it out by your own..
but i really recommend S3N5EaY v1.6.0 - 2.3.5 / 3.5 sense..
i know CM7 - revolution hd and some others.. have to flash my phone 2128238 times a week lol ..
S3N5EaY is fully stable, fast and sensational of battery.
let me know what u thinkin about it
Well if cm7 alpha isn't floating your boat that's understandable. It isn't fully released yet anyway right? But if you want a fully operational sense rom that feels like a cm/aosp then you should try the beastrom-sv4. Everything works and it's light and snappy. Not as snappy as cm7Alpha 8 but then again it's sense base 2.3.5 now I believe. Just don't install the themes for it as they are not updated to the new base (still set for the 2.3.4).
Although I'm a fairly devoted Cyanogenmod user, I have to admit the Sense 3.5 based roms are quite snappy. Still not quite as snappy as Cyanogenmod but certainly an improvement over Sense 3.0.
I don't think there is a hang of a lot of difference between the roms though. Inspite of claims made by some that xyz ROM is the fastest, has the best battery life, or whatever I've never noticed a difference apart from the odd tweak here and there. These days if one dev comes up with something really cool it ends up in all the other roms within a week anyway. Each ROM does have it's own distinct favour though depending on who cooked it.

Wicked fast, extremely stable and lots of friendly support.
I am on InsertCoin at the moment, it is a great ROM. More or less stock, but with reasonable featers as Amaze camera.
LeeeDroid is also great, but it is a bit out of date, I hope Lee upgrades soon when he is back.
I don't know, There just doesn't seem much hype or effort going into the AOSP roms or the customization for them. I feel like it's a lost cause. I see sense being updated rather often and I dont see the hype over sense. This is legit T-Mobiles best phone. I just don't understand why there's lack of development for AOSP roms. Yes we have Cyanogenmod and we had Xboarder and Htcclay for a short term, which I feel hurt the sensation community. I just don't see much coming out. Which makes me want to move on (maybe trade up for a nexus s)
I'm not saying anyones work here wasnt good, I give you mucho props for developing and taking your time on this, it's more than i could say for myself that doesn't know anything about development.
Comment, Negative or Positive. I dont care. I'd like to hear what anyone or everyone thinks.

I agree completely, and I have shared this same opinion multiple times already in this section. I am not used to AOSP/CM being so unpopular with the users, I don't even understand how CM's views are surpassed by a Sense ROM. Every other phone I had it would be the opposite, but here you guys prefer Sense only and give it more support, causing the Devs to pay more attention to it instead. I noticed when I 1st came here that Faux was developing, but he had no AOSP ROM for this phone, I said hmmm at first cause I was curious about the situation. I was hoping for a AOSP from Faux as I had on my MT4G, now I know other devs have AOSP, but the support for it isn't as intensive as in other phone sections IMO.
I have to agree, coming from an evo where it seems I had many many options of roms. this phone looks wise is everything I've wanted(the reason I obviously bought it). but I would take a nexus s if given the opportunity to be honest. I don't know what it is maybe due to the amaze being out? or the Sgs2? but I guess were third in the list fir t mobile devices now so not that popular anymore?
just my 2 cents.

same here... not impressed with any AOSP Roms... camera very bad... many FC issues and miui with battery drain issues...
Same here...i am really done...once the galaxy nexus come out i will get it and be done with it. I would have sworn this phone would have cm7 by now. I should have gotten the nexus s last year if not because it didn't have sd...but this time around i will just stick with the nexus. REALLY done with all these so called wannabe nexus.

Yeah, it's quite disappointing. I was quite shocked tbh, coming from the Desire (which has ****loads of roms). Guess I should have done a bit more research before buying my Sensation XE, but then again I love it anyway, despite the number of AOSP roms
Maybe the Sensation just isn't appealing to the majority of devs out there? Or perhaps it's just a matter of time before the devs from older models move on to better phones (hopefully Sensation)...
Fortunately though the devs we do have are awesome, and I for one am quite fulfilled with my current cm7 rom
Mad?
Are you kidding me? They are the BEST! They dont drain your battery.
I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile in hopes that I would finally get a phone that gets updates. Granted, this phone does get updates - to Sense. But I am slightly disappointed after seeing so much movement on these GSM devices in the past. Now it seems like there's a lot of focus in the CDMA area. Go figure.
I'd much rather have a GSM/HSPA phone, and I do wish we had a fully functioning CM7 so we can have better ROMs - especially for what was supposed to be HTC's flagship phone.

The only thing that is stopping me use AOSP roms are the terrible camera app they have. P.s CoreDroid really is disgusting to look at, I had it on my sensation for less than 5 mins before I downloaded a different rom. Overuse of colour and awful fonts really is not sleek, just tacky.
Yep. Thats right. AOSP roms are way better. the only thing people are wanting from the sense rom is the camera app i bet you.

Not really. I use this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321556
with the Faux kernel. It's AOSP with Cyanogenmod Settings included, so it's basically CM. At this point in time, AOSP roms for the Sensation are about perfect, so there isn't much development needed. Now we're all just hoping for AOSP Android 4.0.
Also, I agree about the camera, it's the only thing I like about Sense. The AOSP camera sucks hard.
I'm definitely not disappointed. For me, CM7 is faster, simpler, more elegant and more useful than Sense in every way.
The camera is the ONLY thing that is better on Sense, but the CM7 camera has improved greatly and is without a doubt good enough.
Btw, I've been using CM7 as my daily driver since it was released on this phone (while occasionally trying out every single Sense rom available) and have had zero issues with it since like alpha 6.. so what bugs are you all talking about??
There is also nothing on any Sense rom that can even compare to the amount of options you're able to customize with Cyanogenmod Settings. The status bar tweaks and notification bar widget tweaks alone are simply amazing.
i love sense... i buyed a sensation instead of a sgs2 because of sense why should i change this?
Thing is, If I wanted a stock android look I would have bought a nasty plastic samsung. AOSP may be fast, but twithout exception, they are pig ugle and dull. Sense makes a difference. HTC and sense is a winning combo, mainly because of sense

Not saying you're wrong or I disagree, but most people are saying that Sense is what's holding HTC back. I understand both points, but I do agree that Sense is in need of an overhaul - and while Sense may be nicer than Gingerbread, Ice Cream's UI looks great.

I just want to have a rom that I can relay on (speed, battery and stability). I like the rom's with SENSE 3,5 (I've heard that 4.0 its near). Naturally I want a nice GUI
You might like miui with the amount of customisation you can do on it. I prefer cyanogenmod because it's quick, has good battery life and i prefer the look of vanilla android. If you want looks over battery then go for sense. The battery on sense roms will probably last you around a day which is okay i suppose.
I definitely enjoy Runnymede S - nice GUI, reasonable battery life and perfect performance!
i've just flashed the latest cyanogenmod stable (7.1.0) and everything works straightaway. i recommend this rom!
Virtuous ROM. Smooth installation and very stable. Nice 3.5 Sense also. I highly recommend it.
Cyanogenmod only!
Every one will only ever recommend what they like themselves, only way for you to decide is to try a few and make your own mind up,. I'd clearly recommend the ROM that i'm on based on my signature

cyanogenmod 7.1 is definitely worth checking out. Fast, very customizable, sleek and excellent battery life with tiamat kernel.
I'd agree with ben_pyett though, you have nothing to lose since they are all free! DL the rom, flash it (and the right kernel) use it for a couple of days and move on, you'll soon have the one that you like the best.
Yeah. First of all u must decide on which type of rom more preferred- AOSP(CM7, etc) or sense
MIUI has the most polished look. Aside from a couple of bugs which will be removed in the coming updates, it is the best rom overall and battery life is decent too. Plus it hasn't crashed on me in 3 weeks of use. Not once.

I have to say that I really like the look and feel of MIUI as well. The only downside is that it is impossible to 'hide' all the icons from the home screens. This really bugged me as all I want are a couple of basic widgets and then folders to the application I use, not the system ones the MIUI doesn't want me to hide away.
CyanogenMod is fast and slick, but still relatively early in development for the Desire S. If you can put up with the occasional hiccup then it is worth following the 'nightly' builds until you find a version that feels and acts perfect for you.
Other than that, have a look in the dev section and read the posts in thread for each ROM - normally a good way of finding out what problems there may be or what other people think of them in daily use.
MIUI is my daily driver, and it hasn't failed me too badly (I mean the Music app has its ups and downs but I ain't too bothered by that)
Besides that, I personally love the theming for MIUI as well
however you do have to find a ROM that suits you
and since you said Sense 3.5, I recommend checking out Runnymede S as I hear that gets some good reviews (I personally want Sense to die in a fire but ya know :V)

Picking a Rom is a personal thing .what's best for me might not be best for your needs.I highly highly recommend you try out SEVERAL different roms for yourself and then make your choice for your daily Rom! That's the fun part! I've probably tried almost all the ics roms available! See what suits you're needs and style! We are lucky to have such wonderful developers to give us many different choices! So instead of asking what's best in others opinions, see what's best in YOUR opinion! Each Rom has a area that tells you what's working and what isn't, they are very up front about that so read that area, decide what you want, try out SEVERAL different ones then make your OWN choice! For me I really like the lightning Rom. However it might not be for you! So have fun and experiment with different things and form your own opinion. Best wishes and I genuinely hope this helps you out. Happy flashing!

Yes, but not everyone has the time to try each and every ROM that comes along. So thanks for your suggestions guys!
Were only saying to give each Rom a shot and form your own opinion. Do it little by liitle if you don't have a lot of time but it is always best to try for yourself and form your own opnion...

the best ROM is the one that comes when you buy your phone, STOCK. But when you want something customized for your needs, you gotta try those available ROM. for me so far, i have Insert Coin for sense 4 in my phone always also the viper 1.1.0 but I'm still testing other ROM. What counts for when it comes to ROM is performance first then the looks. :good:
Enjoy Hunting :highfive:
I'd agree with trying the custom ROMs and work out what fits best. Like a try before you buy session.
REMEMBER, take Nandroid backups at every opportunity so you can revert to a previous ROM easily. That's probably the most important aspect.
Yep, take a few for a spin! I went from awesome Virtuous to awesome Lightning! Happy Flashing!

I agree there are just too many ROMS to try them all. But there are also way too many threads of this sort. For all those wondering which ROMS are good here are my recommendations-
ARHD or InsertCoin if you want closest to stock Sense 3.6 with preference to ARHD cos its updated more.
Elegancia Sense 3.6 if you want a tweaked version. I adore this ROM. Themed version available.
ViperS ROM if you want an extremely flexible Sense 4.0 experience. Elegancia 4.0 if you want a themed Sense 4.
OpenSensation for AOSP.
BerserkMode if you want Sense parts with AOSP speed and smoothness. It's probably better than Virtuous Inquisition now thanks to updates and improvements.
MIUI if that's your taste. There are about 3 or 4 threads. I'm personally waiting for the AOSP version update.
New Roms that may be worth a try- Lightning, TRAD Sensation (both Sense 4)
ROMS that you absolutely HAVE to cultivate to your own taste (for purists)- the hyper roms. props to Splder for carrying on Kristofs work.
Others- CM10 by Bruce if you're adventurous and don't mind temporarily sactificing your camera.
Personally I'd start with (Elegancia 3.6 Stock/themed is upto you) its amazing.. ViperS and BerserkMode of of course CM9. After that you have a pretty decent experience by which to judge other Roms. Happy Flashing! Hope this helped you and any others with the same question.

Paranoid Android! Hands down!
The ability to put your HTC into tablet mode is wonderful. As is the ability to custom choose the DPI for each individual app on your phone. After using Gmail in tablet mode I never want to go back to the preschool-like interface Gmail uses by default for phones. And with all the themes available for CyanogenMod you can REALLY customize the look and feel of every visual aspect of your phone's UI. I held out for a LONG time, I thought Sense was "pretty" and the way to go. But I've found ROMS based on AOSP/AOKP/CM run circles around Sense performance wise. Sense is a HOG for resources plan and simple. Install Apex launcher in Paranoid Android and it's quite close to perfect. Fast, themeable, visually pleasing, and the ability to take advantage of the fact your Sensation has an HD display.
That said, if you're still a sense holdout, the Viper ROM wipes the table with pretty much all other Sense based ROMS (though Daemon looks a bit promising).
For a STABLE ICS AOKP ROM, I like the EyeCandy ROM. (I boot into this restore when I need to use the camera as camera isn't functioning in JellyBean yet)
*edit*
Unlike a lot of other posters, I pretty much have tried EVERY ROM available for the Sensation. I have a tech addiction!
After a while the Sense 4.0 ROMS all start looking the same, except for the truly innovate ones that stand out from the pack like Viper, Daemon, Lightning, and RMS Blue Sense.
I tried ARHD, but once I found there were Sense 4.0 ROMS for my Sensation, I never looked back, never bothered trying another 3.6 ROM/ Sense 3.6 just seemed outdated to me at that point.
I prefer AOKP-based ROMS to CM as AOKP lets you tweak a heck of a lot more of the UI as well as system performance tweaks.
And I hate MIUI with a passion. Stay far far away from MIUI unless you really enjoy giving yourself a headache.

Okay thanks. Is there one that has everything working?

You can look in the change logs of the roms and they will tell you EXACTLY what is working and what's not.the developers are very open about that. Each Rom has a area what tells you EXACTLY what is working. So there are no surprises. Most roms have most everything working . They will tell you what's not working on page one. Around the change logs. Always look at that first then you will not have any surprises if something is not working. I really hope this helps you out. So if you find a Rom your interested in just read that area and it will clearly tell you what to expect. Best wishes.

Currently 1.9.5a .. I've used 1.92 as well as 1.4 in the past.
I know a lot of people will probably say arhd because it has been the most popular rom. However, my Sensation kept crashing/randomly turning off with it. The only rom that hasn't caused me too many problems is InsertCoin and OrDroid. I have been using OrDroid for several months now and couldn't be happier. I will probably stick to OrDroid for a while.
