Hello which rom do you prefer as far as speed goes? I've used both and I'm having trouble deciding on one. Instercoin locks my gps so quickly and seems like everything is working perfectly while leedroid tends to be a little quicker but I had trouble with the no options to mount disk drive when usb was plugged in. Anyway what do you guys think to push my opinion one way or the other? Thanks.
ive tested EVERY rom/kernel available so far, and IMO, Insertcoin v2.1 A2.3.4 with unity v6 kernel is the best out there, on average i have 170mb free ram, smooth as hell, and still running 1.2ghz
using it with thyparency mod for 6x5 app menu, this fone is just how i want it...for the time being
How is your battery life?
Hi, when it comes to ROMs, I'd always test for myself
Just try them both and see which one you prefer, what works for me won't necessarily work for you

how did you get that much ram with insertcoin ? i tried every-possible way to go beyond 224mb never succeeded (even with launcherpro, adw and even golauncher) any tips ?
InsertCoins has been the smoothest out there for me. Just seems to get most things right and is very responsive IMHO

You should specify if the free RAM is reported from HTC's Task Manager or from Settings>Applications>Running services.
Running Services always shows more "free RAM" compared to HTC's Task Manager.
InsertCoin FTW....!
@omar ur right the task manager is showing 200 while running services showing 311
So which is accurate ?

On any Sense rom, full wipe + install, the only way I can get above even 150mb ram is to kill everything in the task manager.

Sorry to hear about your HTC Desire Z, that's annoying. When you get your confidence back I'd recommend trying HyperSensation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302969
It doesn't overclock the CPU (as standard) and there really is no need to do so, I run it using a slightly tweaked (lower screen off max and lower minimums for both) version of the settings in post #3 (with bricked kernel)

Bricked kernel is not stock kernel as i understand,am i right? Dont u think it can brick my phone? I have bad example about that and i am afraid. And what about battery life?

There is a lot of things that can brick your phone. Not only the kernel.
I would recommended the Rom posted above (and in my sig). I have like 20 hours battery time, with moderate use. If you flash a new kernel, you can underclock, and maybe get more battery time. You really dont need ~1200 MHz on some roms, if you don't play a lot of games and so.

I have tried all HyperSensation versions since 0.2 and can prove that it's lightning fast even being reduced to 800MHz maximum. Everything works great, except CSipSimple which plays no sound with it.
Without CSipSimple I've got about 60 hours of life on batteries with about 20 hours of wifi-connection, 6 hours of playing mp3's and about 40 minutes of phone-calls.
BTW, SIP-callers somehow interfere with phone.android app with fatal errors and force close events while trying to make a call. With ARHD I do not notice such behavior.

Well that depends onbwhat you have running in the background. A stock rom does use alot of ram due to sense.
I got the. Runny 3d sence. 3.5 or whatever its called
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
That will do it. Sense is a huge ram hog. And 3.5 was not made to work for our device so it tends to take more ram. Not a whole lot you can do.
Also you might want to pay close attention it every aspect of the rom your running. Know the sense version, os version and other info is important
Hmmm, I'm running the same ROM, and I have 357 free.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Free RAM does not matter. Android framework, Sense, installed apps (services) all take away from it. Android manages its RAM. Just ignore it. If it really bugs you install a Task Killer. But.... Task Killers IMO are uneeded and cause more issues than help. Not to start a task killer debate. Some swear by them and some don't. I am the latter.
There's an article that explains how Android runs better with ram being used than free.

Hy there.i am the new owner of a super smartphone named sensation. I want to know what rom should i use for best performance and great battery life? I want to chose between the stock one, cm7 cyanogen, or android hd revolution. I see that most of you chose the revolutiob hd.....why?
I notice that i want a fully work rom, with all the features work properly.....so....what is the best rom for you?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
There is no "best" rom. Depends what you need. If you're new to the Sensation I suggest that you stay with the Stock ROM and kernel. In my personal opinion it's the most comprehensive solution that doesn't cause any side effects. I tried quite some of custom roms and either they where suffering from poor performance, contained bugs or just the battery drainage was unbearable. Not to mention that staying on the stock rom enables OTA updates.
What jackos is saying is right, there is no best rom. Its up to you to read through the threads and find a couple you like the look of. Then start flashing roms, eventually you'll find the one that does what you want. As long as you make backups you pretty much can't go wrong.
Thank you peopele for the answers.....

I would recommend giving Coredroid a shot.
They have released their final version, (2.7) it's a super stable ROM that i use as my daily, has great battery life (once calibrated) it's nice and fast and works without needing much (if any) tweaking.
But the best thing you can do is back up your current rom and try flashing a few, see what you like best. Sense or No-Sense, themed, stock, 3.0 or 3.5 there are many options.
Before I settled on Coredroid I tried CM7 and ARHD. I loved CM7 but I had a few issues with the ROM (mainly due to the camera) but I love CM7 and the support and updates that frequently get pushed out.
ARHD was great, everything was all good with that ROM, battery life was good once calibrated but I had issues with MMS that I couldn't fix so I tried out Coredroid and loved it.
The issues I had with CM7 and ARHD could have been fixed by me if I had the time and patience but Coredroid worked out of the box so was a winner for me.
Android Revolution
I use android revolution. I am a rather novice user, dont know all the ins and outs of Android (or Linux) and i think ARHD is pretty easy and stil you benefit from being rooted and having some more control...
That said the only other ROMS i tried are Revolver and RCMix, but i liked ARHD better because of the Sensation XE "unlock"...
Please tell me if the android revolution really makes an 1.5 gh procesor.....because i can't see how it does it.......it doesn't make sense.........it use less ram then the stock one?
Wich rom use less ram than the stock one??

Apparrently the sensation processor was underclocked, so most of the custom ROMS simply remove that underclocking. Regarding using less RAM, that is due to the ROM developers removing some pre-installed apps and services that consume memory.

1st is wrong, 2nd is partially right.
CPU is clocked at whatever speed by using CUSTOM KERNEL, it has nothing to do with rom.
RAM is normally freed by more aggressive task killer, sense prioritizing (major) + some apps removal (minor).
Again, all info is here, just spend an hour or two looking into it, will save you a lot of time down the line
Damn, tinky1, I can't believe you wrote this nonsense.
Of course Sensation has got a stock underclocked processor. You better read the Qualcomm MSM8260 whitepaper before you try to prove someone wrong.
Miui.us 11/26/11 FTW
I just have to say it. I have tried a ton of ROMS and just made my first donation to a ROM by the name of Miui. While bluetooth doesn't work for me it is still the best ROM.
My favorite things are...
Battery Indicator as a line running across the top
themes, there are just so many
battery and signal is amazing
I'd really like to see some signal strength tests for miui v sense roms, is there really that much difference between them?

First, if you want to stick to tech specs, then read that msm8x60 is native at 1.2-1.5, so TECHNICALLY its neither underckocked or overclocked between these frequencies.
Second, processor is not physically set to 1.2, its all on sw level.
Third, he said custom roms remove underclocking-wrong, just as I explained, its.custom KERNEL which deals.with clocks.
Fourth , before you try to prove someone wrong who is proving someone else wrong, do some thinking

I guess you don't know yourself what you're talking about
About the rom-kernel thing, I would agree with that if custom roms wouldn't overwrite kernels. So if you install a custom rom you change the clock too. Makes sense to me.
It depends what KERNEL is included with the ROM. So no, custom ROM does not under/over clock UNLESS custom KERNEL is included. So we are back to kernel being responsible for clock again.
Re your quote from another thread. Read again, carefully and take the note of word "kernel".
You seem to see what you want to see, instead of looking into post and understanding what it actually means. Re-read from my first post in this thread.

LOL, you're so stubborn
You said that it isn't true that Sensation processor is underclocked. Right? Or shall I quote you again?
brett_c wrote that custom roms remove underclocking. That's correct, because if we compare 1,2Ghz to 1,5Ghz it's clearly that technically speaking one speed is underclocked to another.
Another thing is that you wrote that CPU speed has nothing to do with a rom. That's not true, because we use cpu controllers to adjust the governors and frequencies. I could cook you a rom that runs at 500Mhz max without changing the kernel. So it's not only a damn kernel thing.
Ok, whatever. You seem to expand into too many things here.
As I said, nevermind.
There are too many IFs here to explain without going into it too deep.
I was only pointing out that processor=CPU=hardware is not physically underclocked on OG Sensationcompared to XE. It is downclocked using kernel.
Peace.

And most of that size reduction is just stripping out apps so the user can add only what he or she wants to to.
Hyper NonSense also stripped out Rosie and all most Sense UI framework, essentially leaving it as a defacto AOSP rom (even though it was still Sense at it's core) That removed a good amount of size, but the bulk of the small size was that it came with just the bare essentialls for it to boot. If you wanted SMS, you had to add the SMS app you wanted. Etc etc etc
That said, it worked great. I loved that ROM for several months.

Hi,
I use Codename Lungo since very recently. I like it so far. I enjoy the fact that you can chose your own apps via packages.
Any other light ROMS? I'm mainly looking for battery life and not too much gimmik.
Best ROM
The best and lightest rom I ever used and belive me i tried them all it's hypernonsense.It keeps the good sense camera , it's light, I ususaly have 300 MB RAM free, the battery life it's the best.I usualy get 2 days with 3,6-4 hrs of sceen time.
My settings are :2G only , minimum brightness , data disabled, wifi off when phone is sleeping , autosync every 30 min.
I liked albino's and bruce ROM too but there are still bug's , and MHL isn't working.
Worst ROM's for performance and battery were Sense 4.x ROM's but i liked the interface and customizations.
Sense 3.6 are a little lighter but still eat the battery and slow the phone.
Hypernonsense just flyes and has all the features.
