I wait for CoreDroid
Since they are the best by far. If ICS do not have, unfortunately, however, yet. However, vantage points is worthwhile...
Excuse for my English

I also use virtuous. Ive tried ARHD, IC, RCmix, and Trips ROMs. Virtuous looks just like AOSP and feels like it aside from some slow downs here and there. Only thing that gives it away as Sense based is benchmark scores.
Now the camera shortcut from lockscreen works as does the gallery shortcut within camera mode! Having a "senseless" sense based ROM really has the benefit of being able to use SOME of the worth a crap HTC apps such as the camera. We ALL know how lousy CM7 camera was...

Virtuous flies w/included kernel! You'll just have to try it....then report back.

What's your benchmark score?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App

I use AHRD. It feels like an official ROM and I get 6219 at antutu test and get good battery life.

[Q] What rom for a daily use:

in like a week i will get a mt4gs and i was wondering what is te best rom till now,
i read alot topic but i still dont find that info out
if some one can help me choice a good rom

I take it your saying Rom.
The PyroIce Rom is pretty nice. Still buggy, but its good enough for daily use.
Android 4.0.3
AOSP based off ICS Sense 3.5
4.0.3 AOSP Apps.
Bulletproof is the Best Mytouch Sense Rom.
Stock, but made to fly!
2.3.5
There's a lot of Roms by a Dev who was banned. But to keep from everybody getting mad. His names Undeadk9. Google it. You'll find his Roms.
His Sensation Port is full Sense 3.0
He also has a Rom that looks like ICS, and Runs like butter.

oops ye i wanted write rom
ok then after i get the phone i will try to test them, hope i got the old software so i can s-off it

Head to RootzWiki and download ICS-splashed. You'll get Antutu benchmark scores close to 7000 and it's as close to AOSP as we're going to get until we get CM9.

It's as close to AOSP as any ROM "undead" is still maintaining maybe.
"tbalden" is working on a ROM that is far more AOSP. But hey shut yourself away from everything not from "undeadk9" it doesn't bother me. :screwy:

JMHO here but there is alot to be said for Doubleshot Lite 1.2.4 too. Much better on battery life than most, which seems to be one of the larger issues on the MT4Gs from all I've read and experienced.

I would use the CyanogenMod 7.1.0 Alpha found in the Rom manager I used it before I upgraded to the Pyr-o-Ice ICS 0.9.1 beta So far I'm impressed with it as well there are a few bugs but those will work itself out. I hope this helps

Undeads roms are far faster and far more stable. I ran Pyro ice for two days. I must say ics is TOTALLY overrated. Pyro was super glitchy. The new liberty rom by undead is 2.3.5 ported from sensation with several aosp apps including the camera app. I'm sticking with Liberty Rom is my daily driver for the long Hull.

Cool story bro.
Just my spare change.

ICS splashed 5.3. Stable once everything is set up, and A2FAT is slightly less buggy.

[Q] Virtous Inquision or HyperNonSense?

I am very confused. What should i chose?
HyperNonSense has AOKP apps, but Inquisition has the ability to install a live wallpaper, unlike HyperNonSense.
Any thoughts?

I've used both. I like hypernonsense cuz its lighter with less Google crap. But I think Inquisition is a bit more stable and faster. So I stuck with that. So I am happy. I just hate sense roms lol

ditto, i'm sure once ICS dev matures a bit the differences will probably come down to features. Right now I like what the virtuous team has done with their rom. i used hypersensation for a looooong time before now so i may migrate later on. for now, i'm really liking virtuous

does virtuous support bluetooth calling? last time i tried, i can only listen to music, not making phone call.
also, just yesterday someone post a patch for live wallpaper in hypersensation thread. dunno if it works.

Love the HNS quick and stable. Kristof is really fast when it comes to update and bugfixes.

live wallpaper patch indeed works. i used virtous previously and tested the latest build, but i prefer hypernonsense.
i've been on HNS since v0.8 and the builds have been great. stable, fast, and everything works. i like the fact that HNS is a very lean rom and there's practically no remnants of sense/htc apps.

anyone experiencing clock drift issues with virtous inquisition ? im running VI4.0.2 and the clock loses 1min every hour.. why is that ? does HNS have the same issue ?

Best ROM for my sister?

Hi guys
I'm from the HTC EVO 3D section of the forum and I know this question is usually frowned upon but recently my sister's phone (Sensation XE) has become laggy as hell and very buggy. She's come from an iphone and is not used to this kinda stuff and has no idea about rooting/custom roms, etc. So I have offered to borrow her phone for a day or two and root it/put on a custom ROM for her which will hopefully sort out these problems and give credence to my claim that Android is better than iOS.
The reason I'm asking this question is because I just don't have the time to test out different ROMS. I need to root it and put one on as soon as pos and then give the phone back to her. (She doesn't live with me so I can't be changing ROMS all the time for her, and she needs her phone urgently)
What I am looking for is recommendations on a very fast and stable ROM with good battery life? Preferably Sense 4.0 but if that is too buggy/battery hog, then I'm fine with Sense 3.6. Just need it to be snappy and as stable as possible because I won't be around much to tweak it and sort out loadza problems if they arise in the future.
Thanks in advanced for your help.

Sense 4.0 looks good but it's not very good with battery (i get max 7-8 hours from it). So i'd recommend a Sense 3.6 ROM.
My favourite and the most stable one i know is ARHD

If you want a stable and really fast room either use a de-sensed ROM or use insert coin

Hi there, It's really best to have your sister try out SEVERAL different roms then make a choice.we have so many great roms to choose from and is really a matter of personal taste as to which one to use .do her a favor and let her experience different ones and choose what she liked best ! I'm running viper right now and I love the customization options, but it's always best to try out SEVERAL then have her choose. Hope this helps. Best wishes to you both I do hope you take this advice. It's really best to form your own personal opinion when it comes to roms.

Vipers 1.1.0 is the best sense 4.0 rom out there.It has great tweaks and it is stable.your sis may not like cm9 or aokp.Go for viper

Viper or a few other sense 4 roms are a good choice...

Cheers for the help guys.. Will be sure to check those roms out.
@ realsis - Cheers for the suggestion, and I know what you mean, but in this case it is extremely unlikely to happen. She doesn't have the time or desire in testing out loadza different roms. This is probably why the iphone is better for most people because you're given a fast and simple OS, and everything just works and is super smooth. Most people are happy with that and rightly so. Personally I'll spend ages looking for the "perfect" rom, but the reality is that most people just don't care.

No pun intended but also lack the experience in flashing rom's and kernel I would suggest a rooted stock Rom for now and let her play around with so she will get used to it and then later on go a little more advanced and then let her take it out for spin to see how she likes it oh keep in mind even on a rooted stock Rom there's no lag like it is on a stock Rom that isn't rooted and for the kernel check out this one for the kernel and there's mod that go's with it as well im running it now and its awesome here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432211

The fastest, smoothest ROM is Mike 1887's Android Revolution HD's. She can also have Beats Audio with the ROM.

TouchCream is the best, fastest and smoothest of them all! Just click on the banner in my signature

Word of warning: viperS is a great sense 4 ROM, its wonderful, but install a different kernel. The bricked kernel that comes with the ROM causes it to lag. The viper thread is filled with people suffering lag on it. I suggest seb's (link in Sig) or faux123's. Faux's forces both cpu's online so it may be a bit worse for battery, but I can't make that call, others seem to do well with it.
If you still have doubts, ARHD sense 3.6 will give the best stock appearance without the lag.

May have to go for that one then. Like I said, she has no interest in swapping around and flashing ROMS, so it'll very much likely be a one time job with no testing of others.

As it is your sisters phone and you don't want to constantly be messing with it and her having issues with it. I'd recommend Android Revolution HD. It is the closest thing you can get to the stock ROM. It's fast and smooth.

My sister's phone is stock ICS and the HBOOT is 1.29.0000... the guides I've read seem to be for earlier HBOOTs
Is there a way to get a custom ROM on the 1.29.0000 version?
Thanks.

Guides that's say 1.27 HBoot are in fact for 1.2x hboots... So 1.29 still comes under 1.2x right?

[POLL] Which ROM are you using?

Seeing that there are many options to choose from, I guess than a poll may help us decide. Which ROM are you using now. Are you happy with it and would you suggest it to others?

i'm using the stock one as it shows in my signature.i'm very happy with it
there is no need to suggest it to every one else because everybody has seen it:silly:

it's ok man.don't worry

I am using bruces CM10 ROM. Working great!

I'm on DragunKorr's Paranoid Android 2.11.
Buttery as hell and i love the hybrid modes. It's not 100% working yet, but the missing elements are so minor that they don't affect me for how I use my phone.
If I weren't using this, I'd be on Bruce's CM10. He really set the standard there with that one and it's only cos I love the hybrid modes that I'm not using it.
Both ROMs have breathed new life into my phone - finally, the full power of the sensation has been realised!!!

pyromod CM9 here, pretty stable and fast. Good battery life too. I would definitely suggest it.

On Bruce's cmx and enjoying it very much very pleased that the CRT animations are fully functioning and the stock SMS app had pop ups now like hand cent does ^^ once they manage to get the front facing camera functioning I will never leave it I have also used berserk mode on by memnoc which I thought was very nice but the fact that I couldn't use wii remotes through Bluetooth on my emulators pushed me to full aosp not too sure where I am going with this aside from Bruce's cmX is highly recommended by me :thumbup: front facing camera and usbotg is all we need now
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

What about battery life, how is it?

I've tried several different roms. Virtuous Inquisition is good but it was giving me wrong battery reading, kept jumping up and down and I couldn't tell how much battery I had. CM9 is nice but the front facing camera doesn't work (at least on the versions I've tried). CM10 Jelly Bean by Bruce is great but it's unfinished, a couple of things are not working (front facing camera for 1).
I'm on ViperS 1.2.1 right now and I LOVE it. The rom is pretty fast and stable. I enjoy the tweaks the devs have put on it a lot. Battery life is pretty decent. I got around 18 hours on average use.
I think if you want speed and smoothness, go for the CM or AOSP builds, they beat all other in that department. I personally enjoy Sense 4 so I go with Viper S.

I used HyperNonSense for 5 months and just flashed Android Revolution HD an hour ago, no reason other than trying new rom

you have not forgotten anything? smartdroid daemon sense 4? I do not see

Used OpenSensation for some time and was very satisfied except that many icons and fonts are just too small for me. Switched to Anroid Revolution HD 6.7.2 and I love it.
Battery life is just average I think. Since I disabled Wifi, I can live with it.

Hi there, I'm using Viper Rom. I am happy with it! The update had made it much better I do have some weird issues sometimes like Bluetooth turning on by itself but for me that's about the only negative issue I'm experiencing. I do like the customization and really like sense 4.1. I would like to see better battery life from the Rom.but I'm now using sebastian kernel with mod and a slight under volt plus a new mugen battery and I've actually managed to stay on 100% for three hours! Thank God! So hopefully the battery issue is solved. But all in all for the people who like sense roms, yes I would recommend viper. Hope this information helps some how and I wish you the best!

I use Viper 1.3.0
Major categories of custom ROM according to me are -
Sense based - sense 4.0 based or
Sense 3.6 based
sense 4 based
Eg viper, insertcoin, ordroid etc
Sense 3.6 based -
Eg arhd, elegancia, etc
IPhone look - MIUI
Samsung look - cyanogen mod
Plain android - AOKP/AOSP Based
I have very less experience on these. I prefer sense based.
