I have an LG G2x and now a Sensation. I would like to change my Sensation to run the basic Android Gingerbread without the HTC Sense.
If I could get the Sensation to look just like the G2x taht would be great.
Which would be the best ROM for me? I have been looking at them all but just get more confused.
Why get rid of sense? In my opinion it's what makes the HTC's so excellent.
I have the Revolution HD 3.6.0 by Mike1986 and it runs beatifully.
CM7 runs smooth and i have encountered zero problems.
See & Read Chef Melvin or Chef CdTDroid's nonSense rom threads in Development for a lot of info.

Off the top of my head:
Royal Panache 1.3
Great UI (HTC Sense) and I believe it's stock Mobilicity. No stock apps just the beauty and stability of android+htc sense. Used for over a month and no regrets.
MIUI is another good candidate. IMO, ugly compared to royalpanache.
ICS 4.0 beta (Creamed Glacier) is great. Just a lot of bugs you have to live with. Going to get better and better.

Hello i have over a month with my Inspire 4G, and im ready to move, since i did love Root features on my Motorola Milestone and want to try gingerbread.
So my requirements for a ROM are simple:
1. Gingerbread
2. Sense 2.1 (this is my first HTC and i love sense, but dont like the lag that produce sense 3 on the Inspire)
So based on that i have narrow down a few ROM checking over the devs forum,
LeeDrOiD 4G
Android Revolution HD
ClearDroid
Inspired Ace
So what you guys think?, which is the Best Gingerbread, Sense 2.1 ROM?
Im really hoping good opinions since im pretty new with my Inspire and not know much about those ROMs...
Thanks
Everyone's opinions will differ. I am running inspired ace and I think its great. Battery life is good and it runs very smooth. But your best bet is to try each of them for a few days. Make a backup of each one when you switch to the next. Then once you figure out which one you like the best just restore that backup. That's how I did it anyways. Flashing roms is one of my favorite things about being rooted. It's kind of an addiction. So have fun!

There is no best Rom, only best for you and only you can say which one is best for your device. If you would have searched you would know all best told threads are closed in sight.

Hello all,
I have a few quick questions to ask. I had recently "test-drived" the Sensation XE and found it to be a really good phone for me, therefore I will be purchasing it very soon. Although, I really dislike the ROM and Launcher as they drain battery like mad. Just wondering, currently what is the best ICS rom for the Sensation (XE) and also are there any problems that may occur when it comes to actually using an ICS rom on a Sensation (as all the roms i've looked at are currently in their beta stages).
Thank you for any answers provided.
Comprehensive thread of ICS problems and fixes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405457
I'd probably say ARHD is the best but do have a look around and see what is best for you.
I'm having trouble deciding if I should get the XE or SGS2, what do you rekon?
Both phones are very good. My wife has SGS2, I have her tmo employee 1st ed. sensation. ( i believe 1st ed., prob same as 1st retail shipped) i digress.
The sensation is rooted and has been through the works with almost every customer rom/kernel here.
We recently switched phones for two days and I went to work on her SGS2. For me its personal preference. After 2 days with juggernaut-sgs2, I missed the sensation.
Both phones work well and both companies have updated versions of them both.
If your willing to wait a month or two I'm sure that another phone will be around to outdate both the SGS2 and Sensation.
The sensation XE uses the same roms as the Normal sensation as the screen size is the same and stuff.
I'd say the best rom is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408351
The best thing to do for is to try all the roms till you find one that you like.
I prefer insert coin. A lot of updates and the forum thread is more clean. Because mike(dev of android revolution hd) gives the changelog before dating up his rom, there is alot of trash to be found in his thread and a lot of double posts. But in the end its a question of your own taste. Greets
Hey guys I'm on Virtuous Inquisition 4.0 & I really love how smooth it is and its clean feel. Loved it enough to get rid of my gs2 as it makes my sensation so much more functional. But, I'm looking at buying Tmo's HTC one S when it arrives, so I'm wanting a good taste of sense 4.0 to see how I feel about it. What's your favorite sense 4.0 from, and what's the smoothest? I rely on my phone heavily for business, so I don't want something that will fail me, though I know there's always a risk
Looking forward to everyone's opinions, and thank you to all!
It's probably stick to Sense 3.6 ROM's for now if you need your phone to work.
Most of the hardware seems to be working in Sense 4.0 ROM's but I have read (haven't tried for myself) that they're still quite rough around the edges.
baadnews sense 4.0 is awesome

HTC has not released Sense 4.0 for the Sensation yet. and probably never will. Sense is garbage to begin with anyways. Use a non sense ROM. The experience is so much better and yoiu get nearly triple battery life. Sense freaking rapes battery.

Stay with Sense 3.6. If you need your phone for business. None of the 4.0 roms are close to ready. They function, but performance across the board is low. There's only so much devs can do, and those roms are not ready to go yet.
Im very Happy with senseissimo but very Bad battery Life :-(

Hi guys
Sorry for asking this question, if it has already been asked. I did try searching the forums.
My girlfriend is buying the HTC Sensation on sale in 2 hours time.
I wonder if I should make her update directly to the official ICS before beginning to set everything up in GB. We live in Denmark which AFAIK should have received official ICS.
What are your experiences with the official ICS? Is it very buggy or is it better than the stock GB on Sensation?
Is it smoother or more laggy?
Does it drain more or less battery?
It seemed to me that the first official ICS had some bugs... but can I assume that most of these have been fixed in a small update which can be run afterwards?
I know that custom roms are nicer, but I believe she would like to stay on official ROM at least for the first 3-4 months.
Also, can she downgrade to the official GB version again after updating to ICS?
Any recommendations or stories about user experiences are most welcome!
Thanks in advance
BR, Martin
All smart phones kill battery's but 3.6 is stable as your going to get

I can definitely recommend the official ICS upgrade on the Sensation.
It has been running on my Sensation XE for about 4 weeks now, with battery life nearly doubled compared to Gingerbread. It is fast and smooth like butter on my Sensation XE.
I've not felt the need to root my handset, I really love the Sense 3.6.!
I sold my Samsung Galaxy S II before the 'official' ICS upgrade, but I already had the leaked ICS running on it well before it was made available.
I bought the Sensation XE with the knowledge that the official ICS would be available shortly.
And I don't regret that move.
As someone who used the HTC Sensation on Gingerbread for 6 months, getting ICS was like HTC giving me a quad core new phone for free. It is MUCH better with ICS. Battery life lasts at least twice as long. Performance is on par with iOS, something which I could never say with Android 2.3.
Compared to my iPad 2, it is now 90% the smoothness. Before it was hardly 45-50% as smooth.
So yeah, I would like to say good job Google! And good job HTC!
ICS has hardware acceleration, boasting better battery life and a smoother experience, I can't go back to a phone or rom that doesn't have it.
ICS is amazing, yes. Sense 3.6 is a great upgrade from 3.0 but ever since I rooted my phone and installed sense 4 I am never turning back. It's so clean and smooth I just can't go back to any 3.X Sense version ever again. You won't be sorry if you give sense 4 a go ahead.
