Welcome Back!
My first sugestion was to say delete FB account (alongwith with any others that you have like twitter etc) but,t it douns like you've already done that
so my only suggestion left, is delete Google account - which means starting again - as this is same as full reset!
Good Luck

You could always:
take a nandroid backup
perform the full-reset
test to see of problem is resolved (enter only google and facebook sync'ing details)
restore backup - until such a point that you have the time to reset up your phone
At least that way you'd know if that will help!
EDIT: Does this and the sentence above look like it's in a smaller font to the rest of the post (when read from a PC) it does for me and it seem's like that always happens when I use the LIST option...

@olyloh6696 i have the same problem 2,but it doesn't affect me much as i flash different ROMs often
but try a cache+davlik cache wipe before doing a full reset
Thanks guys I notcied in my people app, I get no pictures at all, but when i get a phone call, or text, the picture comes up :S whichis weird
Also when I add a person to the people widget, their pic comes up. Strange... It's not coming in the people tab.. I will try doing a reset in the next few days...
Thanks guys for answers!

Hello, Going totally off topic here...But...(figured this one was closed for now)
Have either of you two tried this [ROM] [16 SEP] Desires S Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 [v1.1 STABLE][Official Desire S ROM] yet? I have and it's great, apart from a few small cosmetic issues that can be easily overlooked and don't really effect use - it appears to be fully functional.
I never previously liked any of the the re-sized Sense 3.0 ROMS (like Virtious Unity) and even though I flash most of the Sense 3.0 add-ons to the LBC base I don't use the 3-D Rosie launcher, but by comparison this one is great - as if it's literally made for our device In fact I'm so impressed that I'm having a hard time in deciding whether to use this or LBC as my daily ROM.
Hopefully, LBC will take this (or ideally the next more polished leak of the same thing) and use this as the base for LBC v0.7.0 As this needs the a little attention and tweaking to get the best out of it. Its very close to LBC on battery usage and runs just as fast - even with the 3D launcher.
Thoughts? Comments?
ps
then of course there's always [ROM][17 SEP]RCMix3d Runny S v1.2 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5]
bit of a work around, but try the free app syncmypix on market, works v well when the facebook app fails
edit: this has the bonus of linking the facebook photo to your google contacts too

Hi Ben, I tried 0.8 version of that ROM last week. Not tried the new ones. My first impressions were, I liked the stock look and feel, but sadly i found the ROM to be slow and unresponsive. Wow, I wonder if 1.1 is fast! If it is as fast as you say, I'm quite tempted to switch from 2.1 sense! Never tested battery as I just played with the ROM for about 15 minutes. I'm just waiting for the official 3.5 sense build (hopefully) which can be optimised for stock modified performance roms (I.e - lbc mod)
Because I hear 3.5 was desgined for single core, whereas 3.0 is for dual core... So I'm quite reluctant to switch!
Atm, I'm rocking out leedroid with sense 2.1+3.0 mix very satisfied desire s user! (Especially since solving my issue!)
I think I may consider going back to lbc. Because I had a increased battety drainage on roms with my old battery, but now , with the new battery replacement from HTC, its lasting me real good
What about you? Have you decided to move from lbc to sense 3.0?

I'm currently swaying between the two...as there's been a recent lack of progress and even contact with LBC (I imagine that he's got a lot of work on), not that I can blame him as he's a one man band (with a family) whereas some of the other groups appear to be larger and multi-skilled and therefore have far more production time.
Currently, I've got a couple of ROMS the v1.2 Sense 3.0 one and what I regard as "old-faithful"/LBC and I'm simply using one, then backing it up and restoring the other then continuing like that ever few days.....watching whats happening elsewhere....
I didn't know that bit about sense 3.5 being designed for single core... which is promising although the leak sense v3.0 is from HTC for the saga so suggests it will be on our official OTA upgrade patch....It would be good to get that ROM optimized and tweaked as all good customs are....not just STOCK which is roughly what it is now.
Saying that I'm about to give [ROM][17 SEP]RCMix3d Runny S v1.2 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5] a go as it looks like its been tweaked for performance with the latest versions by the Desire HD devs...
Although it's ultimately designed for a larger screen size and I always felt that the shrunken sense experience don't look as sweet - we will see if this one looks better.
Either way looks like a good future! I'd prefer more options then less.

Yeh personal life is more important, so we can respect lbc is busy.
I read about 3.5 being for single core somewhere... Because it is leaked from the bliss (800mhz device) and dhd users report it being smoother, snappier, and a lighter UI to 3.0. When the custom roms for 3.5 start popping up, I'll be glad to give them a go , for now, pretty satisfied with Sense 2.1+3.0 mix.
So is proxusers 1.1 sense 3.0 ROM as smooth / fast as lbc? Especially that is only a leaked stock ROM, imagine an optimised version by our devs of that ROM!
Please let me know (in the ROM thread) how you are finding that 3.5 sense ROM. I haven't tried it myself, as I'm quite busy atm, and don't have much free time! Would really like to see whether it really us smoother and better optimised than the 3.0 sense..
Cheers mate!

i tried Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 {v0.8} sometime back & i found it a little slow compared to vu & also i didn't like the widget size,i prefer the size from vu
so i switched back to vu for my daily use,i would really like to try v1.1 as i heard its a lot faster
i would also like to try sense 3.5 but i think i will wait till there is a full release
(i tired the bliss version & i liked the animations a lot)
i am unable to test many ROMs as my life is sucking all my free time
can anyone who tried sense 3.5 from runnymede tell me if there is much difference from the bliss version?(other than the menu button bar)
From what I gather there us a massive difference, bliss is intended as sense for girls, where's the new 3.5 Runnymede had been referred to as mans sense the full experience, I'm planning on giving it a whirl later it came out too late last night and I wanted to ensure that there were no significant issues before I have it a whirl, from what I've read the latest version has been tweaked big time so is a great deal slicker as the desire hd devs have put all their normal tweaks and hacks in.
Although I'm currently really enjoying the sense 3.0 leak for desire, it's fast and every thing works although needs a Dev to add tweaks and hacks to make it great, hoping LBC well take this as I his next base and make it slick and improve it or else might be tempted to have a go myself as would like to learn some more Dev stuff
EDIT:
Although apparently after I went to bed apparently another ROM has been released and proxuser have ported it already, this is based on sense 3 leak but tweaked
and improved by the desire hd devs (so wishes do come true ) Its called RCMIX3D_VoidU_v1.1 will be loading that now! literally spoilt for choice!

Wow! Proxuser is doing a fine job here! We gave many roms to choose from now!
Just out of curiousity, what exactly would you like the dev (lbc) to tweak and modify the ROM by?
I'm quite tempted myself to try this new ROM!
Sense 3.5 Runnymede is for men haha! Lol, I never knew that!
But runnymede is a 4.7" 1.5Ghz dual core phone!
So will runnymede sense be as smooth as bliss sense??

Oh Yeh! It's not dual core! I misread it! It is actually single core 1.5ghz with the exact same CPU model as our desire s! So it should run fine on ours !

Yes, as far as I know that's it and use UOT to pretty it up and theme so it has its own look and feel, but I'm just learning! so know nothing really of this side, so also want to gain some experience in it myself.

What we need is LBC (or another dev like him) with the same improved stock philosophy - which is what I like anyway. Someone that just improves and slickens the stock experience (with the same care and love that LBC puts in) but, possible changes the base to either Sense3.0 for saga now that that's out (even though it's leaked) or maybe even 3.5 but it's too early for that. But either way use Android 2.3.5.
Just the above normal tweaks, hacks and organisations that are always missing from stock, plus cut out all the un-needed crap applications and some of the useless HTC stock stuff that's just never used and eats CPU/memory and bandwidth!.
I'm still yet to try Runnymede, so can't really comment although when I have time I'll give it a go. Although as it's designed for a large screen will be fearful that it will look cut-down and re-sized.
But, Bliss is certainly cut down version (for girls! ) so I'm not interested and will avoid (unless I hear wonderful things).
Going to give this a go in next hour or so.. RCMIX3D_VoidU_v1.1 (even though its only sense 3.0 and just watch what happens with the sense 3.5 ROMS.

As far as what speeds up ROMS I added some TWEAKS threads along with a DEVELOPMENT GUIDE section to the Dev INDEX thread that I maintain the other day and would happily add more if anyone finds any suitable reference or resources.

Well I'm about to try the 3.0 dhd port as it sounds like the first proxuser sense3.0 leaked ROM just tweaked.
I'll be honest I'm not 100% sure if you need the new HBOOT? the method of getting new hboot also depends on if your S-OFF'd via XTC or AlpharevX, there are a couple of threads on this subject, so I'd suggest that you give them a read
I have it hboot. You could possibly ask in the ROM thread?

I see that there is an HTC 3.5 ROM for the Desire HD and the newest Sensation has HTC Sense 3.5. Will there be a ROM to upgrade to 3.5 for the original HTC Sensation???>
there is a rom with sense 3.5 for the htc sensation...check the development thread
Also Android revolution has a release pending for Sense 3.5
ARHD 4.1.0 has it
So does Energy now, as well as InsertCoin.
Which would you consider the best as a daily driver?
At the moment, none of them are stable. It is a test leak, and has some issues, especially if u flash the radio. I wouldnt consider any daily driver material yet

Actually, I have been using the Insert Coin ROM for the last 2 days and I haven't had any issues with bugs. It's a REALLY stable release. Expecially with the new Bricked v1.0 kernal from show-p1984.

Yeah.. don't make assumptions until you actually use one of these ROMs. The leaked ROM is actually very VERY stable. Haven't had one problem or "FC" yet. You're missing out if you're not running it yet...
Mine, albeit stock with a few tweaks, is rock solid. Had one black screen in 4 days but that was my fault. The ONLY issue is the new radio, but just use the one from the 1.73 RUU and you're laughing
Man... Energy ROM is the best.... you get a STABLEest sense 3.5 ROM plus the lightweight customized BLUE & transparency Mods.... just try it, and you wont regret my recommendation.....
You're right ... don't make assumptions ...

You're right! Don't make assumptions.
I've used all three and they all gave me problems with FCs. Initially I used the recommended up-dated radio, but that was even worse. Furthermore, all the developers suggested going back to the previous radio.
I'm now back to ARHD 3.6.1, with no problems at all.
Furthermore, even Mike1986 says quite clearly at the beginning of his ROM post that the 4.1.0 ROM might have problems. Here's an exact quote from Mike:
TEST RELEASE SO MIGHT HAVE BUGS
So, as you said, don't assume. Furthermore, I wish people would simply stop insulting others, or telling others that they're doing something wrong if things don't go right. Remember, even though we may all have a particular model of phone, there are numerous variations of that model depending on where in the world you got it. One may work well, while the other may not.
Peter
Addendum: And you being a developer, I'm shocked you would make such an all-encompassing statement. Don't paint everyone with the same brush, as they say.

Please try the latest version first.
I reverted back to Android 2.3.4 several times yesterday but flashed the latest Energy 2.3.5 + Sense3.5 last night.... it works well and haven't seen any FC or strange issues.
Suggest you try it out or missing plenty of good stuffs, indeed.
I have been using energy 3.5 and there are no fc or any such issue. It's a very stable release. And 3.5 sense is a big step up from 3.0 imho.

I'm a bit torn because I want to have a look at Sense 3.5 but I'm running Revolution HD Sensation XE. Waiting for the XE ROM with 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...

Stock rooted sense 3.5. See EddyOS's rom in development section.
i am using InsertCoin now ... fast and smooth so far ( juz flashed 2 hrs ago ).
The HTC amaze cam is wicked !
i can feel that it is smoother than my previous bulletproof ( althou it comes with a good tweak option ).
Sense is ****. Try MIUI camera if you don't like the CM7 one. You should stick with CM7 rom though, it's the best.

It's this narrow-mindedness the OP should be ignoring. Just because YOU think it's the best doesn't mean it is

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.
Hi guys. I want to know which is the best ROM for daily use ? My gf has a Desire S and the light sensor doesn't work properly during a call so it's very easy to accidentally touch the 'mute' button (or any button).
Anyway, as I am not a Desire S owner I don't really know which ROM is the most stable and battery friendly.
Thanks.
LE: Sorry for the wrong section, I didn't see the 'Q and A' section on the main page so I thought it doesn't exist at all
Hi mate,
Obviously it's a bit subjective, but I really don't think you can beat lowveld's Endymion 3.3 ROM. It's still htc sense so your girlfriend won't have to get used to a new UI, only a more updated one! I've tried everything else and I'm always back to it!
It's very stable, I've never once had any problems. Battery life is the best of any ROMs I've tried too, I get nearly 2 days of moderate/heavy usage.
But the ROM requires any partition layout (on my Desire I have 1GB ext4 on my SD card for apps) ?
I think the best ROM for Saga is Endymion.
It is very stable and best thing is that the support thread is amazing.
Not jus the developer, but also the users are so knowledgeable and helpful. It's almost like a professional support center team!!
I like Endymion too...
But i also like CM7, becuause it is much faster!
Take oxygen Rom rock solid
Best Sense-Roms (for me): Endymion and Coredroid
My choice atm Reaper 1.2 (CM7.2 based) with an older version of zeam-launcher (for scrollable widgets). Fastest/Smoothest Rom i every used, no problems noticed and the battery last longer than on other Roms.
Depends on what your gf wants. If she just wants a rom with everything straight out of the box, it's better to pick a Sense-based rom. If she likes customizing, pick CM. And if she want an iOS feel for her Desire S, pick Miui.
The problem with the light sensor doesn't sound good. You should download an app to check the values of the light sensor. You might need to send the Desire S for repair. Better wait with flashing a new rom.
For me best room is ICS.
With sense 3.5 and android 2.3.5 (ics Virtuous Quattro RC1 is almost but not enough ready for me), i prefer RunnyDrOiD By PVTEAM
Thanks guys. My gf is not a ROM freak so she doesn't want to flash new updates for her ROM every day... so I'll stick to Sense 3.5. ATM I'm downloading Endymion V3.3 ROM and hopefully it'll work like a charm . I'll post here after I flash it...
CM 7 Room
I wanna try the CM 7 Room.. wich is the best? with no bugs or problems
Check out lowveld's "Reaper" ROM, it's based on CyanogenMod but with a number of tweaks.
I switched to it yesterday out of boredom, and I'm amazed by it, it's superfast, I've had zero FC's, and best of all it has lowveld's seal of quality so you know the support is top notch!
Check it out in the development thread.
Cm7 is super fast and has a great battery life but u won't have all the sense features, so It's up to u. I'm running on endymion 3.3 and i like it very much. Think I'm gonna wait for a stable ics Rom before shifting.
Cheers

I use CM7 because it fast and clean, I don't like HTC sense at all. And with ICS roms getting more stable I will probably switch to one of those soon.
I think CyanogenMod is the best for performance )

I like Endymion because of HTC Sense and its functionality.
But I love CM7 due to its legendary performance.
Its up to your GF. But you should note, the smaller font size on Endymion does take quite a while to get used to!

People are always posting up new threads asking for advice on this ROM vs. that ROM. Well, I haven't tried them all, but I've tried quite a few of the more popular ones recently. I'm not going to pick these ROMS apart. If you want more info about what I liked or didn't like about a particular ROM I've tried, go ahead and ask.
I got my Sensation back in January. I used the stock Gingerbread for a couple of months. Then got frustrated when the T-Mobile ICS update got delayed and have been on a flashing frenzy ever since.
I've been trying a lot of ROMs lately. I started with ARHD, then went to Elegancia, then Hypernonsense, then back to Elegancia, then Sense 4 Elegancia, then back to 3.6, then Virtuous Inquisition, then Opensensation (CM9), and back to Elegancia again. I've also tried Sebastion, faux, and bricked kernels - I prefer bricked best.
I honestly don't a see a performance difference between Sense, stripped Sense, or AOSP ROMs. I have System Tuner Pro and always monitor memory usage. I thought that the stripped and AOSP ROMs would have gobs of free memory available, but they just don't. They're no better or worse. I also was compelled to try those ROMs to improve battery life. Again, the experience didn't match the hype.
It all comes down to personal preference. Each ROM has its own glitches. But from my experience, full Sense 3.6 ROMs are the most functional and most stable. I loved the Sense 4.0 ROM I tried, except that Sense crashed on me like 3 times a day having to pull the battery each time. For me, nothing beats the Sense widgets. I live in the email and calendar widgets for work and the music widget in the car. No other widgets come close.
I think I'm gonna quit screwing around with it for a while. I am very happy with the Elegancia Sense 3.6 ROM / Bricked kernal combo. It's pretty much already modded/themed the I way I would do it. I can just flash it and go. I will try the Sense 4.0 version again when it's more mature. I loved it, I just can't have my phone crashing on me constantly.
I still want to try MIUI and will probably try CM9 again when it's official. I really like some of the home screen setups people have been able to pull off with their AOSP ROMs. But I think the widgets will always pull me back to a full Sense ROM. The only widgets that can compete, you have to pay for - and they're still not as good. Also, the AOSP camera blows compared to the Sense camera. In the end, it's all about what's functional for you.
In conclusion, try a few, try a bunch... don't get lost in the hunt for better battery life and more performance, because - 1) those 2 things don't go together... & 2) those 2 things are largely the same across all ROMS whether you're full Sense, stripped-Sense, or AOSP. Just find what you like and enjoy!
SO wutZ da best roms to use?
Just joking, but it's too bad some people are serious.
Its all about your liking that's it otherwise there is not a rom whit better battery life than any others

I've been using Ordroid (Sense4) for a week or so now and I've found it quiet stable to be honest. I haven't experienced any crashes.
The batterylife was in 5.0.X about 17 hours (2 hours of screen turned on).
V6.0.0; I can't say if there are anything wrong just yet since its been out for about 2 days only and I've used it for 1 day. but the first batterycycle was about 21 hours with 2h 5m screen turned on. Only thing I could complain about with Ordroid is the partially working BT, I can't say anything about the Wifi-tethering issue because I am not using it.
Hmm, well I guess that was that.
The partially working Bluetooth issue is across all Sense 4 ROMs. It has to do with the fact that Sense 4 was ported from another device with different BT hardware - so the Sense drivers aren't fully compatible.
With the release of T-Mobile's official RUU, it may be time try Sense 4 again and see if some of the previous issues I experienced are fixed now. But BT will probably always only be partially working due to the driver issue.

I'd love to know whether any of these custom ICS ROMs is better than the stock ICS ROM. I get that they are all (Sense or no Sense) pretty much the same when it comes to performance and battery, but how do they compare to the stock one? Will I get any benefits from switching from the stock ICS to one of these?
Thanks!
great post!
I use elegancia ics 4.3 sence 4.0 is good so far it has a few glitches like if you try to take a picture while recording a video, the camera crashes or if you press the camera button to take several pictures at once it crashes! But other than that is good!

Well I've always found that the custom roms out-compete the stock ones repeatedly. You get a much better battery life, minimal bloatware and more power. Use android revolution hd 6+ and you'll see the differences

I tried Elegancia Sense 4 again last night. I thought it was time to give it another go since there have a few builds released since the last time. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Whatever issues I'm having are buried deeper than what gets changed from build to build.
My phone has crashed on my twice in the last 5 hours. It's unfortunate. I really like Sense 4 - I think it's cleaner & smoother than 3.6. The camera is better and faster than 3.6. But if your phone crashes on you while changing menus or doesn't wake up and you have to pull the battery all the time, then it's useless.
Does anyone else have these issues with Sense 4? Maybe another Sense 4 ROM is better? I have not yet tried another Sense 4 ROM because it seems they all use the same base. Maybe I should try another and see if it works better...
The new InsertCoin ROM Sense 4.0 is out now, looks very stable, only FM Radio not working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546731
I just flashed OrDroid Sense 4. I'll give that one a shot. It has a different base - the new leaked Ville RUU instead of the One S. The Ville and Sensation share the same processor, so maybe that will do the trick.
EDIT: That one's no good for me either. It has its own set of glitches I'm not willing to live with.
Now trying Steve's new TMOUS Elegancia with Bricked kernel.
Any tradeoffs for non Sense ROMs? I know the camera app is better on HTC's but other than that? Is there a Torch app similar to the stock one? Etc..
...and back on Elegancia 3.7.6. lol
I am running the updated TMOUS firmware now, tho. along with the other radio fix for TMOUS users. This might be the best combo I've run yet. But I'm still anxious for a fully functional Sense 4 ROM.

There is another Torch app that is pretty much the same. The ROMs I've tried all have it included if they don't have the HTC app.

For me, I love the overclocking of custom roms/kernels. Stock Sensation is 1.2ghz. My custom rom Sensation is 1.7ghz. Man is it speedy. I took the time to read countless posts and spent a ton of time learning how to mod my Sensation. No way am I going back to stock carrier rom.
