so many roms, what to choose?? LOL

So im looking at the dev section of the sensation and there are just so many freaking roms out there it's crazy LOL
I started with P3d for a bit, and now just flashed the android revolution 3.5, but man oh man, there is just so much out there i really don't have a clue where to start, i just want a stable rom that gives me the best battery life that has everything working........ P3d did it but now im really leaning towards CM7 which i ran on the evo for like ever.
anyone else feel overwhelmed? and trust me im not complaining

it's not bad
you should see the galaxy S forums, there's at least 30 ROMs around.

So far the most popular in no particular order, are:
CM7
LeeDROiD
Revolution HD
InsertCoin
CoreDroid
Heard good things about bulletproof.
Couple threads on this already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254071

I've tried Virtuous until version 1.1.3, then I tried Revolution HD and Leedroid. I have even tried the Bliss 3.5 Sense port and it was very nice and stable even though there were some bugs to iron out. Now I'm back to Virtuous and the 2.0.1 XE is stunning. Probably the best one I've tried so far, just need to check the battery performance. But I would guess all ROM's are fairly equal, some are better in one area and some are better in another, just need to choose one that suits you the best or just try until you find the best one I guess

Bulletproof while not getting many mentions in most of these threads has awesome tweaks other roms lack. Like the option to customise the "personalise" button, and the option to make the app draw scrolling instead of paged. There are more tweaks than that and its worth a look.
Basically romanbb has made the Sense equivalent of cmparts.
Still cm7 is faster than flies on **** on this phone but its a little buggy for some people at present. Its good enough as a daily driver on 4g Sensation phones, most of the issues are related to calls dropping on 3g units.

I only know the Revolution HD which is my first root/custom firmware. Is there somewhere an overview with all the pro's and cons of the different firmwares?

Mike announced that there should be ARHD 3.6.0 today... Android Revolution is really great room in term of battery and performance, waiting on update to 3.6.0

cant await the runnymede sense 3.5 port

Coredroid FTW!!! Its very well put together and skinned so cleanly and elegantly and runs smooth as silk

I'm running Android revolution, as it is the only ROM I've tried. Battery life seems not much different than stock, if not worse to me.

First you have to choose between a sense rom or a no-sense rom.
I'm using CM and it's already super stable but if you prefer having sense than you have to go somewhere else

CM7 or something with sense... like stock.

Android Revolution HD is also very stable. On stock rom, Sense would restart on me atleast 3 times a day. With ARHD, Sense has not once yet restarted on me. Granted I've been running ARHD for about 2 days now, but this time span still shows very much improvement over stock rom.

I can only comment on what I have used which was LeedDroids rom at first for a couple of weeks then I tried Bulletproof. BP is so much quicker and had alot less stuff (able to remove stock apps with bloater too) that I didn't use with many more unique tweaks that were useful for me. Romanbb has made a fantastic rom, its well worth a try.

till now i only used the revolution rom , which was my first ever room on my sensation.
i can say that i feel some kind of difference in the speed but not in battery life.
im looking for a better rom now , as i look for a sense interface.

+1 Bulletproof - Tweaks did it for me

Android revolution hd is the best right now!!!!

"Sense Rooms" mean that you still got your experience with Sense 3.0 on these Rooms.
"No-Sense Rooms": Rooms without Sense UI, just like stock Android UI

[Q] Which is the best ICS ROM for HTC Sensation 4G?

I want to upgrade to ICS 4.0 so was wondering which is the best ICS 4.0 rom in terms of least number of bugs and the one which is most stable as I dont want keep changing/upgrading ROMS.
Please do help me with your user comments/feedbacks/reviews

I have stuck with ARHD 6 at the moment.
Their first ICS release was buggy and gaming was a bit of a no go, so i went over to InsertCoin for a while until the 4.0.3 came from ARHD.
Been using that since yesterday with 1.5cpu 300gpu kernel and so far it seems very stable, still no dungeon hunter though

Kernel issue, you'll have to wait till HTC releases the source/another version leaks.

I'm on the 4.0.3 Virtuous. 2.0.1 is fast and has slick hardware accel in the UI. 99% AOSP with Sense cam and Sense notification tray. Love it.

I'm loving Virtuous Inquisition (4.0.1). I got to mess with my uncle's Galaxy Nexus and really liked the stock ICS feel. If u like sense tho, ARHD never fails to impress.

Nothing BEST you can find. The only available is FIT with your need. Tell us what you like, what you want, what you need. User here probably can assist to give you some opinion. I'm on ARHD 6.0.2 but discharging all 3d widget, and all widget. I do like plain AOSP, but I feel comfortable with htc mail, contact and keyboard. when take "combined" rom aosp-sense ... some featur not work properly. i.e incoming call not show Icon on combining aosp+sense. HTC camera driver is better than aosp, thus I made ARHD 6.0.2 as plain as possible only 145 app left. changed roboto font to bitstreamVerasan ... roboto is too small for me.
It's main reason we join xda ... to learn and having fit ROM ... stock always give you what you dont need and dont use

Well, I enjoy flashing all of them while they are in the stages of development. I like to think of each Rom like that of a child. They all start out seeking the same goal, but instinctively over time each one starts to develop a different personality. Some, and no fault of their own, are a little slow while some are pushed to fast and suffer a lack of control. Some can be predictably stable but not overly exciting. While the other side wonder about with a mind of their own seeking direction. So, to best answer your question, have some fun and challenge yourself by giving them all a chance. Isn't that why you are here on XDA? Lastly, and without a bit of irony, I have paused curiously checking out this kid that was quirky at first, but now is starting to feel comfortable and trustworthy. Ive noticed over the days a quick pace in mind which ends at the finish without any lag or do overs yet knows their is much to be learned. Finally, standing strong, front and center, I refer to you "Virtuous Inquisition 2.0.1"

Wld u consider these roms for daily use? A lot of folks end up gng back to GB...

There's no going back for me or many other members using ICS!

Well, I did like Virtuous Inquisition 1.4.2 very much, but have found many bugs in 2.0.1 that took my pleasure away (FCs here and there, can't choose Ringtones, etc.). I am using 1.4.2 as my daily driver and think it's pretty far away from an early alpha stage. But there are bugs... e.g. can't use the QuickLinks more than once in Dolphin Browser Mini, Winamp seems to be buggy etc.
Came from CM7 Alpha, so I'm used to use an alpha for my sensation Hate Sense, so AOSP or nearly AOSP fits me most.
Just my 2 Cents

If you didn't upgrade to ICS yet don't do it!
Why?
Because:
-Scrolling is slow
-Some games are not working
-Many apps FC
-Battery is horrible if using wifi
-SD messing up from time to time
-ZERO mods because htc's systemui is not compatible with apktool
So better stay with GB or wait for CM9

Have to admit, scrolling is a turn-off... Also had many FCs. Otherwise, I like the speed improvement. Don't have much battery drain.
@vegetaleb: Which ICS Rom(s) did you try?
Read somewhere, that InsertCoins ICS might be very good...
.edit: Virtuous Inquisition 2.0.1 is now working a lot better. Probably installed some 1.4.2 Apps from HTC via Titanium Backup which caused htc.com FCs.

I am using ARHD 6.0.2(ICS 4.0.3) And is amazingly smooth ,fast, very good battery life, waiting for CM ICS stable now .

[Q] Best Sense 4.0 rom so far?

So now that we have multiple roms based on Sense 4.0, which one is the best for you and why?
As for me I am still waiting the next step for fixes

"Best" is simply not to tell.
What works great is Kings Rom. Tried all 4.0 Sense-Roms til now. Virtuos was the first rom I flashed and a lot of things worked great, but BT with headset didn't work. That seems to work with Kings rom. Also tried Elegancia as I am using Elegancia roms since I rooted and s-off'ed my phone.
Til now all sense 4.0 roms seem to have some difficulties. Mostly animations won't work and on some BT won't do.
Til problems are solved, I'll revert to sense 3.6

Now all based sense 4 are the same and they have same problem.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

In terms of speed and stability?

Are same till now ..

If you're looking for speed and stability, don't go with any of them. Even the One S version is for a phone with an S4 processor, we have an S3. Unfortunately, while the S3 is still powerful, the S4 has many improvements from what I hear. Sense 4 roms may never be as fast as 3.6 or AOSP-like roms.

So now we have 3 main roms:
-Baadnewz
-Shnizlon
-Virtuous
I want to choose between Baad beta 10 and Shnizlon 1.6.0
Help!

There can't be no good ROM for now, cause the source for Sense 4.0 just been out for a few days. I'll wait for some more stable versions.

I think after trying all of the Sense 4.0 roms, Virtuous S4X is probably the best.

I am on Baadnewz beta 10 (perhaps upgrading to 12) and I am very happy!
Everything work,fast enough and very little bugs.
Only Rootexplorer is not working as app
BT is not working of course. I wonder if they will make it work one day, it's a BT 4.0 and Sensation is 3.0

They're not really working on it yet. The Sensation is in their second wave of devices that they're seriously focusing on.

Team Venom
I've searched this web for quite a while, and the Viper3D is by far the best 4.0 sense ICS out there. I have no issues, and the simple little quirks that it did have are solved. Wonderful daily rom, constant updates with a little humor and I've flashed each and every one of them including the multies. Everything works, tweaks are fabulous, I have no complaints and it has been my daily driver for quite a while and don't see my self changing it.
Anything Virus is included in, I'm following, and with the well established and newly named Venom team? They are setting it off!!!!

So as far as I can tell sense 4.0 will not becoming to the Sensation via HTC and from reading these boards I notice that some of the Developers out there have begun porting sense 4.0 into ROM's which can be used on the Sensation
My question is which ROM is the most stable and bug free and closest to the stock HTC One which has sense 4.0 and can be used on the Sensation?

There is no right answer to this, no two Sensations are exactly the same and in terms of ROM'S, radio's, kernal's and so on opinions WILL vary. The ports are getting better but that tends to happen with time. Best advise we can give you is try them for yourself and decide. Its your phone, use whats best for you. Getting off my soapbox now, I thought Virtuous was pretty good but when back to ARHD until ports are better.

ARHD isn't a Sense 4.0 ROM, it's Sense 3.6, and Virtuous Inquisition isn't Sense 4.0, it's a de-sensed ROM from Sense 3.6 but still contains Sense libs and camera.

The most stable out of the Sense 4.0 ROMs is Ordroid, others simply haven't caught up to it yet. Virtuous has started one but it will be a wait before it catches up to Ordroid - Ordroid was established before most of the other Sense 4.0 ROMs so that will probably be the most stable and bug free, not to mention closest to the One Series. Elegancia 4.0 has a differently themed status bar, so it isn't stock.

OrDroid is the best Sense 4 ROM. It gets updated everyday, literally, everyday. It does have a few bugs but as far as random reboots and crashes, none of those. It's very stable I use it as my daily driver.

Is it stable enough to use it every Day, also for working? Is the performance Like on Sense 3.6? I'm asking cause I was that silly to download the update to ics -> I'm s-on. need to wait for juopunutbear tool to test it myself. :banghead:

VI is not an AOSP ROM. It is a de-sensed ROM, which looks like AOSP. However, it is based on Sense 3.6 and contains many of the libs still there. A true AOSP ROM is compiled from scratch or based on the CM9/AOKP source.
Otherwise, Ordroid is much more established than S4V.

As mentoined above OrDroid is an excellent Sense-4 rom with a helpful dev-team. There is also InsertCoin which is as stsble and fast as OrDroid. Both roms auto loads your apps from Play Store after flashing.Very convenient for a flashaholic like myself.

I already knew about the other Virtuous ROM, however, S4V is much less established, and when you mentioned ARHD, you could be easily talking about VI too. It isn't my fault you chose not to mention the actual name of the ROM.

How is the battery life on OrDroid and InsertCoin? Compared to Sense 3.6 Roms? I really want to flash Sense 4 but I need battery life that is at least on par with most Sense 3.6 roms, I need to make it through a day. Thanks

I've just flashed my phone with 2 sense 4 roms. first with Blue Sense. looks fine but it tweaked a lot and and with the DX, sometimes it's just confusing.
With OrDroid, everything seems to be work fine even some says they unable to pair with other device, but I managed to get my phone paired with my laptop..
I wanted to go on and try other sense 4 roms but seems to me, I will stick with OrDroid for a while until there is complete bug free rom released.

Don't forget the following non-functioning items:
- wifi hot spot
- HTC Watch (can not watch rented movies)
- camera bugs (face detection, HDR)
It is a great ROM, but still has a ways to go to get out of beta. I love it but cannot use it as a daily ROM because of the bugs. Of course all the Sense 4 ROMs have these bugs.

My ROM experience

People are always posting up new threads asking for advice on this ROM vs. that ROM. Well, I haven't tried them all, but I've tried quite a few of the more popular ones recently. I'm not going to pick these ROMS apart. If you want more info about what I liked or didn't like about a particular ROM I've tried, go ahead and ask.
I got my Sensation back in January. I used the stock Gingerbread for a couple of months. Then got frustrated when the T-Mobile ICS update got delayed and have been on a flashing frenzy ever since.
I've been trying a lot of ROMs lately. I started with ARHD, then went to Elegancia, then Hypernonsense, then back to Elegancia, then Sense 4 Elegancia, then back to 3.6, then Virtuous Inquisition, then Opensensation (CM9), and back to Elegancia again. I've also tried Sebastion, faux, and bricked kernels - I prefer bricked best.
I honestly don't a see a performance difference between Sense, stripped Sense, or AOSP ROMs. I have System Tuner Pro and always monitor memory usage. I thought that the stripped and AOSP ROMs would have gobs of free memory available, but they just don't. They're no better or worse. I also was compelled to try those ROMs to improve battery life. Again, the experience didn't match the hype.
It all comes down to personal preference. Each ROM has its own glitches. But from my experience, full Sense 3.6 ROMs are the most functional and most stable. I loved the Sense 4.0 ROM I tried, except that Sense crashed on me like 3 times a day having to pull the battery each time. For me, nothing beats the Sense widgets. I live in the email and calendar widgets for work and the music widget in the car. No other widgets come close.
I think I'm gonna quit screwing around with it for a while. I am very happy with the Elegancia Sense 3.6 ROM / Bricked kernal combo. It's pretty much already modded/themed the I way I would do it. I can just flash it and go. I will try the Sense 4.0 version again when it's more mature. I loved it, I just can't have my phone crashing on me constantly.
I still want to try MIUI and will probably try CM9 again when it's official. I really like some of the home screen setups people have been able to pull off with their AOSP ROMs. But I think the widgets will always pull me back to a full Sense ROM. The only widgets that can compete, you have to pay for - and they're still not as good. Also, the AOSP camera blows compared to the Sense camera. In the end, it's all about what's functional for you.
In conclusion, try a few, try a bunch... don't get lost in the hunt for better battery life and more performance, because - 1) those 2 things don't go together... & 2) those 2 things are largely the same across all ROMS whether you're full Sense, stripped-Sense, or AOSP. Just find what you like and enjoy!

SO wutZ da best roms to use?
Just joking, but it's too bad some people are serious.

Its all about your liking that's it otherwise there is not a rom whit better battery life than any others

I've been using Ordroid (Sense4) for a week or so now and I've found it quiet stable to be honest. I haven't experienced any crashes.
The batterylife was in 5.0.X about 17 hours (2 hours of screen turned on).
V6.0.0; I can't say if there are anything wrong just yet since its been out for about 2 days only and I've used it for 1 day. but the first batterycycle was about 21 hours with 2h 5m screen turned on. Only thing I could complain about with Ordroid is the partially working BT, I can't say anything about the Wifi-tethering issue because I am not using it.
Hmm, well I guess that was that.

The partially working Bluetooth issue is across all Sense 4 ROMs. It has to do with the fact that Sense 4 was ported from another device with different BT hardware - so the Sense drivers aren't fully compatible.
With the release of T-Mobile's official RUU, it may be time try Sense 4 again and see if some of the previous issues I experienced are fixed now. But BT will probably always only be partially working due to the driver issue.

I'd love to know whether any of these custom ICS ROMs is better than the stock ICS ROM. I get that they are all (Sense or no Sense) pretty much the same when it comes to performance and battery, but how do they compare to the stock one? Will I get any benefits from switching from the stock ICS to one of these?
Thanks!

I use elegancia ics 4.3 sence 4.0 is good so far it has a few glitches like if you try to take a picture while recording a video, the camera crashes or if you press the camera button to take several pictures at once it crashes! But other than that is good!
P.D. that Rom is updated like every other day but I still don't know how to update it

I'd love to know whether any of these custom ICS ROMs is better than the stock ICS ROM. I get that they are all (Sense or no Sense) pretty much the same when it comes to performance and battery, but how do they compare to the stock one? Will I get any benefits from switching from the stock ICS to one of these?
Thanks!

Well I've always found that the custom roms out-compete the stock ones repeatedly. You get a much better battery life, minimal bloatware and more power. Use android revolution hd 6+ and you'll see the differences

Yes I agree! I have much better battery life and over all better experience!

I tried Elegancia Sense 4 again last night. I thought it was time to give it another go since there have a few builds released since the last time. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Whatever issues I'm having are buried deeper than what gets changed from build to build.
My phone has crashed on my twice in the last 5 hours. It's unfortunate. I really like Sense 4 - I think it's cleaner & smoother than 3.6. The camera is better and faster than 3.6. But if your phone crashes on you while changing menus or doesn't wake up and you have to pull the battery all the time, then it's useless.
Does anyone else have these issues with Sense 4? Maybe another Sense 4 ROM is better? I have not yet tried another Sense 4 ROM because it seems they all use the same base. Maybe I should try another and see if it works better...

The new InsertCoin ROM Sense 4.0 is out now, looks very stable, only FM Radio not working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546731

I just flashed OrDroid Sense 4. I'll give that one a shot. It has a different base - the new leaked Ville RUU instead of the One S. The Ville and Sensation share the same processor, so maybe that will do the trick.
EDIT: That one's no good for me either. It has its own set of glitches I'm not willing to live with.
Now trying Steve's new TMOUS Elegancia with Bricked kernel.

Any tradeoffs for non Sense ROMs? I know the camera app is better on HTC's but other than that? Is there a Torch app similar to the stock one? Etc..

...and back on Elegancia 3.7.6. lol
I am running the updated TMOUS firmware now, tho. along with the other radio fix for TMOUS users. This might be the best combo I've run yet. But I'm still anxious for a fully functional Sense 4 ROM.

There is another Torch app that is pretty much the same. The ROMs I've tried all have it included if they don't have the HTC app.

Just flash the new one on top. No super wipe required all your data and apps are safe

For me, I love the overclocking of custom roms/kernels. Stock Sensation is 1.2ghz. My custom rom Sensation is 1.7ghz. Man is it speedy. I took the time to read countless posts and spent a ton of time learning how to mod my Sensation. No way am I going back to stock carrier rom.
