Whats your favorite Sense 3.5 rom?

I wanna move up to Sense 3.5, and tried a rom (I forgot which one) and it was horrible. Now, I wanna give them another go.
What has been your favorite one? Please mention if you have tried multiple 3.5 roms, or just have stuck to what your fav developer usually makes.

Energy. Great theming. I tried an earlier version of IC and it was really slow. That's probably been fixed by now, but I still like Energy's theming.

Many different flavors...u will have to try some. Now I like Sense-o-Maniac by V6-Maniac!

Sense-o-Maniac - Sense 3.5 v1.4.3 Beats by V6-Maniac ---> my favourite since v 1.1.
I think V6-Maniac is a good guy and I'm very impressed about his straight way to follow the "Sense-o-Maniac - Cleaning mission:"
With this in mind, I just have to dedicate my 1st post to V6-Maniac and his (in my humble opinion) great ROM!!!

AS many others, I prefer the InsertCoin ROM (mainly because of the battery savings).

Android Revolution HD or Energy which is better?

I prefer insertcoin. For me it feels faster and battery life seems improved compared to ARHD.

I use ARHD myself, test them all myself. They all have there plus and minus but for a T-Mobile user its a simple as flash and go . I haven't had to screw around with flashing radios and such either with this ROM. I also use SPB mobile shell on all Android devices so no matter which phone I grab , throw my sim card in or which tablet I grab my shell is always the same as well as the placement of all my icons, folders, programs etc. Thanks to titanium backup and a few other tweaks. If you haven't taken a look at SPB shell in a while it might be time to take another look , they have come a long way since win-6.5 days.

I know this has probably been asked plenty of times, but I'm bored of cyanogenmod (again) and wanted people's opinions on the best as we seem to be getting a lot of official support now. Which sense rom is your favourite and reasons why please?
I've had my fun with ICS and am now waiting for a stable release so no ICS recommendations for ICS please.

The only gripe I have is the the sense 3.5 dockbar, I find it ugly and somewhat blown up, especially with the text (applications, personalization)
kept changing between the two-button bliss bar and stock 3.5 bar and couldn't settle on either
hope someone would make a sense 3.0 /2.1 dockbar mod for it!!

Is there a way to sense 3.5 rom has a normal font for the screen of our Desire S? Small fonts is something that annoys me a lot, and see how Rhyme rom only has something like that, but it seems that unfortunately proxuser left development of the Rom :/

I switched from ARHD to OrDroid and I freakin love it. Sense 4.0 is awesome and runs smooth on the Sensation 4G. Just dump the Sense launcher and use something like Apex or LauncherPro instead.

Try them all and see which one you like best. They are all good. Try sense and senseless Roms. My personal favorite is Elegancia after trying many.

I love my Sensation XE now more than ever after I flashed ORDroid v5.0.2 + SoundBoost + Equalizer + faux kernel.
I don't know if its just me but the beats sounds way much better than when I was on ARHD v6.6.3. The only downside is I get a better battery life on my last installed rom.
As the previous poster mentioned above, use other launcher like Apex or Nova.
Here's ORDroid v5.0.2

Same here. Although, I like the Sense launcher, to me 3rd party launchers with Sense feel really out of place.
On a side note, I hope LauncherPro gets updated someday. It was excellent on Gingerbread and Froyo on previous phones.

Really, another which Rom is best thread.

While I mostly agree, I need to correct some things....no offense.
Virtuous isn't AOSP, it's an AOSP "experience" based off sense base. True AOSP right now is Opensensation which is (CM9).....also as listed in your last suggestion cm9 (opensensation) isn't that customizable right now.
Also, while many suggest to try them for yourself......to someone who just rooted their new sensation, this can be a long process, with plenty of time consuming reading and configurations....
So I think it's best to offer the OP a starting point:
Pure stock like sense (3.6) - ARHD
Pure Stock like Sense (4.0) - Don't know if there is one, most I've tried are too laggy, and have too many bugs....but try any one to get the feel...maybe Coindroid
Pure AOSP - Opensensation (I don't even notice the bugs as listed)
Pure MIUI - There isn't one
- MIUI.us and MIUI android are based off sense base
- UltimiuIcs is based off AOSP, but developer is finishing exams
Given the above, they offer a starting point (with MIUI and sense 4.0 a starting point just to see what it's about) IMO, I'd wait for MIUI AOSP based if you like that, and wait for bug free sense 4.0 if you like that.
The rest of the roms, sense and AOSP are just variations on the starting points above.....with some being tiny, tiny visual variations (the rest under the hood), and others quite a few modifications.
As far as my onions:
- I find sense too laggy, I mean our phones can handle it....but of you want battery life, your gonna have lag.
- I recently moved to Opensensation, and can't even compare the speed....even underclocked, undervolted....while I do miss some sense features, they don't even compare to the speed.
- I recently tried "eyecandy" AOKP, based off AOSP....and there is a lot of tweakability and theming works as I'm sure more will be available.
As far as kernels.....if running sense, I'd use bricked, if running AOSP, use stock kernel with rom, or faux kernel.
Hope that helps for a starting point....and NANDROID...NANDROID!
That way you can easily revert back if you don't like one or get into trouble.
Cheers!

HTC Sensation ROM - Which one ?

so ya, recently i have rooted and S offed with JP method
i wanted sense 4.0 badly so i flashed Ordroid 9.0.0
i was pretty good and everything works ok
but after 1 or 2 days of use, it seriously becomes damn SLOW and i have to clear up the RAM often to make everything smoother.
everything loads slow, Google Chrome is slow, app drawer comes up sow......like u get the point
then i tried CM9 RC2
honestly this was the best thing that ever happened to my HTC Sensation :good:
it was fast and it is still fast after a month of use.....almost everything works perfectly...... it soooo sooo much better.
im in love with it
BUT
one thing which i really hate is its camera
like the pictures which it takes is horrible ! even worse then my old Nokia N96 !
the camera software is bad(since most probably it was made for the galaxy nexus)
so ya the pictures lighting is bad, even if i take a picture in bright sunlight....also it cant take any wide or high resolution pics
also it cant take full 1080P videos
so can anyone tell how i can get that epic camera back to my CM9, like flashing the original camera app or smthn like that
i did do sm research and i found out that HTCs original camera app wont work in cm9 since it was only made for sense
so is there any CM9 like fast Sense 4.0 ROM out there ? is OpenSensation any better ? also i dont want sense 3.6 since its old
i just need a better HQ camera with CM9, Beats sound and HTCs unique features
and ya also WiFi tether if possible
thanks

Sense 4:
I can't tell, because I dislike it
CM9:

AOSP:
Virtuous Inquisition, because of the same reasons as InsertCoin

Just a quick note r.e. Virtuous Inquisition. It's AOSP look and feel BUT is still based on a Sense ROM, i.e. it's been de-sensed as much as possible and still has Rosie, the last time I used it it still had the HTC Camera. This is unlike CM9 which is a true AOSP ROM from the ground up.

also its no way near as smooth and good as CM9

So is there any way of gettin the camera good in CM9(a true AOSP ROM) and possibly beats ?

try using SmartDroidBerserk Mode its an awesome rom, sense roms are a bit sluggish.

It's some time since I've used CM, I liked it a lot, then again the camera didn't bother me too much. VI was a good substitute and with a decent kernel was pretty slick. Pure AOSP "should" in general be quicker than Sense based ROMs as it doesn't have the same overhead.
You'll NEVER get beats on CM as it's Sense dependant. CM has its own equaliser which by reputation is better than beats anyway.
r.e. a decent camera in CM have a browse in the CM development thread. I'm sure there will be some comments about it. I'm afraid I can't comment as it's some time since I was on CM, mind you CM10 will be on my phone later today for a look see.

Hey, checkout ARHD(Android revolution XE /w beats Audio) love this ROM check it out. Its fully loaded with everything you would want/need. Fast an stable.
And if you wanna change the status bar just look at sense 3.6 themes or 4.0 in the app store. My only complaint is I hate the settings menu visual layout its sense.
