There is no best version. Try different roms. Different people have different needs. If you don't state more information no one can help you

well Best rule of thumb i guess would be to flash the latest version. you can see my signature for what im using. im on tmobile sensation as well.
But honestly roms are like getting a new car. find the one thats best for your a** on a long drive. so no one can really tell you which one is best for you. just give it a go.
I am on the latest version of ARHD on the bone stock TMO radio and I am loving it.
I have never flashed a different radio with any ROM Ive used, and have never needed to.

Does the signal got better when u use the latest arhd? I'm still on stock Rom but already s off and rooted but signal is not that great.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I've tried at least the last 10 versions of ARHD downclocked to 1.2, and the latest is the best. Both had the previous radio and the recommended, both worked fine for me, signal, voice quality, up/download speed are almost the same.
ARHD consumes very little power when screen off, but relatively more (compared to stock roms) when awake and using cpu/gpu intensive applications. For office use, you can get two days of battery life with no additional tricks (push exchange + HSDPA on)
Stability: almost zero fc-s, no lags, feels like a well optimized factory rom
From Sense roms, this is the best you can get.

All members are here to answer you, but you should start off by learning the basics from the noobproof guides or searching them, because someone probably answered your questions.
I am fairly new to all this too, so far I have tried Leedroid, insertcoin and all the latest revolution roms. By far the most stable and smoothest for me is the latest 4.1.3, very pleased indeed with it.

I haven't noticed the signal being better or worse honestly. My 4G data seems a bit better with ARHD though.

Hi,
If you look in his signature,it says ARHD 3.6.2 XE,which is the version using base 2.3.4 and Sense 3.0
The alternative one is version 4.1.3. which uses base 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5
If you check ARHD [OP] 3.6.2 is available in post 1,and 4.1.3 is in post 3

Noob question,
I have ARHD 4.1.3 on my phone with the suggested radio, if I flash back to the stock rom or a different rom do I need to change the radio? and if so what radio would I flash? I'm a Tmo US customer.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Hi,
Changing ROMS has no affect on the radio.
There is no need to change the radio to an earlier version,unless you are having serious problems with the one you have installed.

Thanks, it just said that you should use a matched radio and I'm not sure what that meant.
As far a problems before changing the radio, the radio is for 3g-4g connection, cell service or both?

Hi,
The thing is to flash mods using the same base as your ROM.
If you check my sig , I have battery mods for ARHD base 2.3.4 and 2.3.5
Check with your ROM'S dev,to see which base you are using,and then flash the appropriate mod.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL A MOD
For beats I installed THIS MOD ,because I am on base 2.3.5 using Sense 3.5
Or you could install ARDH 3.6.3 XE which contains beats anyway.

I'm still on stock tmobile us rom, I just came from arhd with no luck so I restored my phone to factory stock then s off and rooted.

You can install anything you want, you just have to know what it is you want to do. Lets say you want to have beats audio (using the previous posters example). You know you have a stock ROM, version 2.3.4 most likely, so just find a beats audio only mod for 2.3.4 bases running Sense 3.0.
Or, as the previous poser says, you can install a whole ROM that already includes it. ARHD basically simulates a Sensation XE by removing the under-clocking on the CPU thats there stock bringing it up to 1.5 Ghz, adding beats audio, and overall just smoothing out the ROM. It looks the same as the stock ROM, it just works better.
The best thing to do is just make a backup of how it is now through recovery, then try stuff out and see what you like. You can always restore your backup and it will be right back to how it was before you did anything.

EDIT: Saw you came from ARHD. Sorry to hear about the bad luck. But yes, you can install mods without a full ROM.

Yeah I did tried 3 of the most recent arhd Rom, it is smooth and fast but has too many glitches on my phone. I tried installing the recommended radio it does fixed my signal issue, but after 3 days of using my phone keeps goin on a black screen when somebody calls me or text me so I decided to revert to stock

Interesting. Did you try turning the CPU back down to 1.2 GHz? I have ran 3.6.1 and only had one reboot before I switched to the beta kernel, never had any issues with 3.6.2 which came with the same kernel I upgraded to with 3.6.1, but I switched to bricked 0.91 kernel and its even better. Tried 3.6.3 and had a bunch of FC problems and issues so I restored back to 3.6.2.
Basically they all have worked well for me, but I've read of some people needing to stay at 1.2 GHz because of problems you have described.

I haven't tried restoring to 1.2ghz , I just restored my phone back to stock I got tired of trying all the versions and seems all of the versions I flashed had issues on my phone, don't get me wrong but I do love the speed and smoothness of arhd its just those fcs, unstable signal and not to mention the black screen issue. But like you said I haven't tried using different kernel I just used the one that came with the Rom and the other faux kernel that one of xda member suggested the beta 10. I even tried the insertcoin 3.3.9 and same issue with signal. I'm on tmobile carrier I don't know if that causes the signal issue with most of the Rom I flashed.

Well, I'm on T-Mobile also and have had no issues, thats strange. Did you flash the recommended radio also? Maybe you need to try a different one if so.
I really like the Bricked kernel, it runs faster/smoother and the battery life is better than the Faux kernels I used - at least what I've seen so far. I run Sense 3.0 so Im limited to Bricked 0.91, but its still plenty good from what I've seen. He is developing more for Sense 3.5 kernels at this point I think.
Anyway, if it was me, I would try one of the ARHD ROMs with a bricked kernel (the kernel can also affect your reception I believe). If you still have issues, try clocking it back to 1.2 Ghz. I too ran IC for a little while, but finally just settled back to ARHD for a few reasons.

Currently running ARHD 3.6.2 with bricked 0.91 kernel at 1.5 GHz and the mods in my sig with whatever the recommended radio is in the ARHD thread. I have no issues and use it quite a bit every day. I might give 3.6.4 a shot though.

Hi,
Have you tried a custom ROM with the original radio?
I know it won't be matched,but sometimes it's a needs must situation.
Use the radio that will give you the BEST signal.
It might just be that it's the only one that will work properly in YOUR area.

Hi,
So,what combination of ROM and radio was the best for signal?
And with your current set-up,do you ALWAYS have bad signals?
Or does it vary from area to area?
Sorry to be a bother but I seem to have this problem.
I am unable to connect to any other WiFi network other than my previously setted up WiFi address during First Boot. Could you help me troubleshoot about this problem?
-cheers
I have a similar issue, mine loses wifi connection often since 6.2.1 XE, the wifi signal is at full, but fails to obtain IP Address most of the time except on the first wifi i set it up with, most likely another one of those bugs HTC is working on so someone can take a copy home and give it to us... cant wait for full ICS from HTC source, dont get me worng, the current RUU leaks are good, but not perfect.
HTC Hurry up please, Me with my Sensation and my Girlfriend with her EVO 3D want ICS without bugs...
im also in arhd xe version.but havent got any wifi issue

I have a feeling it has to do with the ROM.
I have flashed SebastianFM's kernels, new & old radios, and I still seem to have the same problem.
It is definitely not due to the Firmware since I have flashed multiple other ROM's but only ARHD seem to have the problem.
What I'm suspecting is that this problem is due to the mismatched Firmware and ROM since the rom is based on 3.25 and the firmware is 3.24. But who am I to say that.
Hope mike has a fix for that soon~ :x
then try it by flashing 1.5ghz kernel
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
I have flashed both kernels. Even the ones on Sebastian's thread.

No that's not normal read OP I think there was a section where it said how to fix this issue...
Swyped From My Sensation.
Yes WiFi should be working only tethering is not. Yes there is a fix look in android development or themes and application and I believe you will find it there. I know running ordroid 9.0 my WiFi works so its NOT the rom. It's likely a setting . Look for the fix and you will be up and running again. Hope this helped!

Any recent radio change? What firmware are you on?
All in all, I think it would be best to backup, than run a marching RUU. If that one still fails, it might indicate a hardware issue.

Well there's 2 different kinds there's for 4.0 and 3.6 make sure your using the right one for the sense your on also if you are using the right one you can have your cpu clocked to high that causes random reboots
