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.
Later.

Which rom do you wait 4 ICS

Guys as the subject, which rom do you waiting for ics (cm9, miui4,sense, virtuous) and tell us why?
Sorry for my bad English

I'm waiting sense Rom because the sense Rom is more comfortable for using

One that works

i'm waiting for both CM9, and new Sense 4.0 with ICS
I'll probably be using Lowveld's Endymion when it comes out

What ever one has working camera but miui 4 would be my choice of flavour

Cm9 looks and feels to good. Now using daily a cm 9 Alfa, works perfect, only camera don't work
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Cm9 for me I've had their roms on all my android phones but also the virtuous rom feels quite good
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

thank's for ur respons guys
firstly i love the cm9
although the release still alpha, but its more smooth then other rom in development thread << its my opinion
cause i've flash my Desire S with cm9, virtuous team, miui4 port by proxuser and in superkid's thread hehehe
sorry for my bad english,

Personally I'm waiting for MIUI...I've stayed alot with Galnet MIUI and loved it. Now I have installed Virtuous beta (7) that's by far the speediest and lag free among the other ICS betas (at least for me). I've tried CM9 and I love the work CM is doing (had been using only CM ROMs till I got MIUI) but it has some issues for me: cannot download from market (just tried it few minutes ago) and the CM "control center" is missing...so the thing that was clearly make CM to stand out among others is unfortunately missing for now (I mean the multitude of tweaking possibilities)
Later edit: As i compared only current version of existing ICS ROMS, not thinking about future (as the question in this thread suggests). So in case every ROM will have a final version with everything included I'll have a very hard time to choose between MIUI and CM9...I'll test both and probably I'll stick with the one that has best performance and has the greatest tweaking capabilities.
All that said, I don't have enough words (and mouse clicks) to thank to every developer that contributed to have ICS on our phones. After trying ICS, going back to Gingerbread will never happen even with a non working camera. For those rare moments when I need a camera, I have a backup of both Endy 3.3 and Galnet MIUI ROMs that restores in 2 minutes...then, as soon as possible I switch back to ICS

CM9 because of the features it has which I have become very used to.

Totally waiting for MIUI 4. proxuser is already is porting it but most things still doesn't work.

Can't decide yet =) CM9 might be the first preference, but absolutely gonna try some others also. Just because CM has been great, it does not mean that no other ROMs are worth trying.

+1 for MIUI 4 ^^

Currently using Virtous Beta 7 and it's amazing, just waiting for camera to work

Virtuous Quattro. The developers of that rom always do a great job on their roms. I've used Virtuous Unity a couple months ago and it was one of the best roms and probably still is.

At the moment, Virtuous Quarto is running marvelously as my daily driver. And because of the fast updates, I don't have time to test the rest. But coming from both Virtuous Unity and CM7, I'll make sure to test CM9 as well, and maybe even MIUI.

ICS seems to be a little slower then GB, so ICS+Sense should feel really slugish.
MIUI -
Virtous Quattro - feels nice even now and has some nifty options, so i'll try it again once it's done.
CM9 - most likely it will be the one. I'm with CyanogenMod since very early CM6 builds and always happy. A lot of devs working on it, daily (nightly ) updates, lots of options, great performance and stability.

I like Sense so if possible, i would prefer ics + sense 4.

[Q] Which Android OS do you prefer and why?

Which Android OS do like?
I'm talking 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.7, ICS.
What ROM r u using and sense or no-sense.
I'll start
Mostly I've been 2.3.5-sense ARHD. that gives me a few different options.
Right now its ARHD 2.3.4 runs good, no prob.

Virtuous Inquistion -- Senseless ICS. I used to like Sense a lot, but when I started using CM7 I don't think I could go back. Sense is very user friendly and accessible, but it the UI just looks a bit too tacky for my taste. AOSP, especially ICS, is very simple and eloquent.

I switched my sensation with my wifes SGS2 and after a day or so I switched back. Guess I got used to sense or it grew on me. I just dont care for how it will sometimes lag for no reason at all. Never saw that on CM7.

Yeah true. Sense is the best manufacture UI. TouchWiz is just trash.

mike's arhd ics all he way

ICS outta the box is amazing.

+1 for Virtuous Inquisition, for the same reasons stated above. Plus it's surprisingly stable compared to the full sense ics roms we have right now.
I've been a huge 2.3.4 advocate up until this point, but honestly I don't think I can go back now.

What about gaming on the sensation? any rom preference? any preference for roms/games combos?
i've been playing bejeweled but I want to play GTA but couldn't get it to work.
I know cordy and fruit ninja were big problems for a minute on the 2.3.4 ROMs.

ICS with ASOP is finally a nice replacement for Sense UI and its cleaner and faster...

I have voted for 2.35, but the newest ICS-Elegancia Rom sounds very good.

Virtuous Inquisition here... would prefer CM9 if available but this is pretty good. I cant stand Sense.. its definitely better than TouchWiz (Samsung) and Motoblur (Motorola) but its still trash compared to vanilla/AOSP

I'm using ARHD 6.0.3
the latest release of ARHD
SEnse ICS ROM

What's Your Favorite ICS Rom ?

So i just recently bought a sensation i immediately rooted it with s-off. The first rom i flashed and currently using is virtious Inquisition.

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.
What's wrong with the countless other identical threads out there.

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!

Hello there Im looking for a nice stable ICS senseless Rom Im currently running elegancia ics sence 4.0
Sent from my Sensation 4G using XDA

You can try miui, open sensation and cm9. I'd recommend open sensation as blue tooth and audio routing works there.
If you don't like aosp or aokp, try virtuous inquisition, though it's sense based, but you don't see/experience sense anyway as it's all removed.
And oh, use the search button next time. These are pretty basic stuff which you can get info from reading and searching the various threads here in xda.

Take VI for a spin!

Running ARHD with NoSense.. best there is..

Try aokp. It was pretty fun. Ran it for quite a while as a daily driver. I was on official build 38.

Try smartdroid, it's sense based but many sense parts were removed, just like VI there's no sense to see
Sent from my HTC Senesation XE

flash aokp b39, last release. you won't regret.
is very stable, you can customize everything, and is THE FASTEST ROM for sensation. even more than sense 3.6...

cm9 here. it's great.

What's NoSense? I have ARHD running, but I don't see any links to NoSense on the tweaks page.

All working good for me.
On a side note, I don't believe that using the search bar to find a good senseless rom is a good suggestion. While I do believe in searching for problems or fixes.....the aosp/aokp world can be quite confusing with all the roms out there. Considering that ones opinion is a valuable resource in making a decision out of many......I see a thread like this a valuable resource.....as I also do with the opinions on best rom threads.
