I prefer Android Revolution HD (i'm on 6.5.1, will try 6.5.2 later today), InsertCoin also worked like a charm on my device. At the end it's personal preference I think. But look at the number of replies on the ARHD thread, it shows how active the Android Revolution team and the community is. The support is amazing. I love it.

I am using elegancia rom, arhd is simple rom where u must add every think by yourself, elegancia have everything built in, and also is beautifle. Aaaand also u can chose some options in instalation like oc kernel (better cpu, like 1,5 or 1,7 instead 1,2). Give it a try, i wont be dissapointed.

IC is by far the smoothest and it gets updated at least 2 times per week. ARHD is good too but I always return to IC! Try them and choose the one that fits your needs

+1 for Android Revolution The support is mega, thats what i love more than anything.
Fair enough you may have to add modds / tweaks yourself, But thats because not everyone wants a ton of mods n stuff, Some people just want a stock looking custom ROM.
IMO its better than having them all built into the ROM and having to dissect it to remove the stuff you dont want..
But the main thing is personal preference.... There is not better / worse ROM

I must agree with that, u must try it for u self and decide. Unless there is a rom, wich is very, very, very bad, but talking about all main roms, u must decide for u self.

Thanks guys. I'm going to try each one of these roms that has been mentioned.. What I'm looking for is something that looks good, has very good battery life and is fast. First one I'm going to try is InsertCoin. Is there any good asop roms floating about.. I used to use Oxygen Rom on the HTC Desire S.
Thanks for the replys there very helpfull.

I'll look into that one... Green time lol I tryed Prime 5 yesterday. It was perfect for me but the only thing that made me change my Rom was because the GPS didn't work at all... It's a shame because I really liked Prime 5.

I prefer stock looking roms so I'd have to say, ARHD. I've been using it awhile now and really havn't had any complaints. Plus the support is very good!

Hey everyone tomorrow morning I'm getting my sensation and can't be more excited.
Just wanted to say tomorrow I will be rooting my phone asap
Any suggestions on some good starter Roms?

awesome bro i remember seeing you in those forums I too switched
as for roms depends whether you want sense or not

MIUI is perfect AT this moment. based on the HTC ICS Base so you get both the camera and everything else working.
Official HTC Rom like ARHD, coredroid etc - Stable and fast rom with Sense 3.6(personally dislike Sense but you can install a mod to make it just like stock android, look under themes and apps)
CM9 - video camera doesnt work so well, bluetooth no go,
sense 4 - camera not so much with no autofocus, but almost good enough
I suggest - ICS stock rom with HTC base. like hypernonsense

I came from mt4g and found the sensation easier to root. I am running coredroid on the mt4g and on my sensation. The mt4g is for my son, he bought one off a kid at school for $20, because the kid didn't like the battery life. I am real happy with coredroid on both phones. Just make sure to go through a few battery cycles before judging any of the roms, most will break in and give great battery life in a few days, at least in my experience.

+1 for ARHD - its the most stable, the most fastest and the support is amazing.... (IMO)
I highly recommend trying it out. Throw in Sebastians kernel and having a Full day AND a half battery wont be a rarity any more.
there are a lot of guides on how to flash it, Its the most popular ROM, The guides are fairly simple, and if you dont like it, flash to something else

Welcome Im from the MT4G forums, aqnd im a flashaholic so i say try them all currently im back and forth between HyperNonSense v1.5(discontinued) and OrDroid Sense 4.0

ROMs - the best of

Which roms are the best and must be tested ?
I need your opinion.

ARHD, no doubt.

i cannot tell you which rom is the best one, all of our devs are awesome, and it is rude for us to compare roms.
i am using coindroid now, and it is really great.

They're all differently catered to each users own needs, really. Personally, I'm always torn between whether or not I want Sense or not. So i've moved between Elegancia 4.0 and Virtuous Inquisition. I enjoy the ablitity to have standard ICS, because it's definitely a bit quicker in some instances. I sometimes get better battery life, and the menus aren't cluttered with two settings (one for sense, one for ICS.) Sense is very good looking, however. The Widgets set your phone apart and its hard to beat the aesthetics of Sense.
That being said, I've used ARHD and to suggest it is anything but fantastic is foolish. Great battery life, great customization, very stable.
The devs here are great and they all bring something to the table.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

There really isn't a best or worse Rom. They all have pros and cons. Some are more popular than others. Some people like sense, and some more AOSP like. 3.6 sense Roms are more stable than 4.0. Aosp like roms are faster and more battery friendly, but they are also more bland in my opinion (I like sense). Most of the 3.6 Roms are pretty stable and efficient. ARHD is great and stable and with lots of support, and it is also the most popular one and it is not themed at all (looks just like stock). The one I'm using now is Elegancia which is also great and stable with great support and heavily themed look that I for one enjoy. Insertcoin (also good) has the stock look but has some additional mods like Leedroid tweaks and battery percentage. These three are probably the most popular ones.
Like I said there really isn't a better or worse. It comes down to what you want and like.

right now i`m using virtuous inqusition . Is a great rom, nothing bad yet.

No offense meant to the op but I really hate these kind of threads. Besides the fact that there are approx. a billion and one threads with the same question, there is never an answer. Everybody likes different things and everybody will recommend what they themselves use. Personally I've got no use for ARHD but tons of people seem to like it. I've tried AOKP roms and like them but I actually miss having Sense so currently I'm on InsertCoin.
Try it all, that's what each and every one of these "what is the best..." threads ends up with. And just a suggestion for anybody else considering a "what's the best rom" thread....maybe use search and add to one of the already started threads?

Don't like stock HTC Rom like ARHD
I suggest an InsertCoin or a SmartDroid Resurrection for the Sense 3.6 side

I've been using Insert Coin for a while til I shifted to CoinDroid recently to check Sense 4 out. I suggest InsertCoin with Sense 3.6. But you have to try all to choose what is best for you

Try a few is the best for u...happy flashing!

Only you can decide which is the best rom for you, but I would recommend Insert Coin for Sense 3.6, and Ordoid for Sense 4.0. Although there are still bugs with all sense 4.0 roms atm, like you cant send files over bluetooth atm.

I use OpenSensation, very good ROM
+1

These threads are always very subjective.. everyone will say that a particular ROM is better and everyone else will argue with that.
It all depends on what you like and what you feel will best suit your daily activities.

Energy rom for 3.6 sense roms clean and fast
AOKP for Asop roms well cuz its AOKP

Aokp anyday but for customization miuiv4

You'll have to flash gapps.

I've tried alot of roms but keep coming back to one Rom, that's Ordroid. I just love it! Recently I've tried Pkmn, Elegenceia, insert coin, and more but I'm drawn back to Ordroid. It's so nice, smooth x fast x and the customization can't be beat! I'm probably gonna try a few more for the sake of trying them but it's likely I just come back to Ordroid again! It's so lovely! Unless there is something out there that knocks my socks off I'm probably going to keep Ordroid. Hope this helps in some way

Sent from my Sensation using xda premium

I would say Pkmn rom with sense 4.0 is best for customisation, the amount of tweaks available is staggering, along with great performance

For me it would have to be Virtuous Inquisition. I wasn't a fan of Sense 3.6 and prefer the stock ICS look, tho Sense 4 looks amazing and I have yet to try a ROM running it. I'll probably try PkMn eventually but I'm loving VI right now!

As requested by a lot of ROM chefs please dont compare ROM's as it can be rude and offensive to chefs

ROM for elders

Im planning to maybe pass on my sensation to my 67-year-old father. It would be his first smartphone as well as first touchscreen one.
The issue is, that my father is not an expert in electronics by far (barely knows how to read and write text messages). His old phones have been plain nokias (yeah the legendary ones) and such. Also his fingers are very thick (about the size of a billiard stick).
Alas what do you think would be the best ROM to suit him?
What im looking for is a simple interface, easy to use, and something that has good batterylife (he often forgets to charge his phone)
Trying out different ROMs isnt that simple to him because if he learns to use one function of a ROM then it will be difficult to adjust to a different ROM that functions differently.
So what do you suggest?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

How about virtuous inquisition,? It is senseless, stable, excellent battery life, no frills, Rom. I personally think that would be a excellent choice for seniors. He won't have any problems with it. Hope this helps. I know if I gave my mom a Rom , I likely would choose this for her. This way he won't be burdened with problems or battery drain .I think this is the best choice. Best wishes .

VI is my favorite stable ROM but I'd have to say that MIUI is the best ROM for an elderly person. The large icons, the simplicity, really everything is much easier on it except for the browser (download dolphin instead).
Good luck

I think it is opposite. Gb is easier than Ics..also as CM7...If you install CM7 you can install launcherpro or other launcher, and resize big icons on your preferances. i think that ics has much "rigid" interface than cm7.
ics has incorporated those bloatware "beasts" like tweeter,facebook chat,gtalk...etc. etc...so you should think to remove them from rom before installation.just to avoid sporadic popups and notifications that could confuse him...CM7 does not have it. (and it is noot needed to have).
I recommend Hypersensation CM7 .

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that a stock looking Sense Rom like ARHD would be suitable for elders. Sense widgets are pretty user friendly, setup a coupe of home screens (not the default 7). I think that would work. That's whhat I would do if I had to give an android phone to my parents.

If you are going the MIUI route, gb/ics/jb are practically all similar. From my experience ICS had over 20hour battery where GB had like 12hour so you might want to look into that as well.

I'd go back to stock or install hypermiui (by far the most battery efficient)
