I have recently bought a used Sensation. Not yet rooted. I am waiting for the official ICS update from HTC. Previously I was using a Desire and after rooting it I tried various Sense 3, Sense 3.5 ROM's on it. One common problem I found was that the camera and flash were not synchronized. i.e. the photo would be taken milliseconds after the flash went off. So the pictures would come out dark. There are a few threads on this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338800&highlight=dark
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379500&highlight=dark
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311702&highlight=dark
And none of the developers were able to solve this problem.
Do the Sensation ROM's also face this problem? I want to try out a few ICS ROM's after rooting but I dont want its camera to be messed up like my desire's by installing custom ROM's. So I am hesitant.
Would appreciate feedback from custom Sensation ROM users here whether their camera / flash are working properly.
AFAIK that is a kernel issue, not a ROM issue and I dont think it affects any custom ROM's for sensation

That is true. The issue is present in almost all ROM's. So it cant be the ROM that is at fault. Any more users here would like to share their experience? Thanks in advance.
I use Android Revolution HD 3.6.11 on my HTC Sensation, and the camera/flash timing works fine. I haven't used an ICS ROM yet.

Been fine on stock TMO rom. However I do want to upgrade to 2.3.4 So I have been studying the ROM section here on forum for Sensation.
I want Sense and as close as stock as I can get. Been leaning towards REVOLUTION or InsertCoin ROms. However I have read some issues with Insert Coin.
Could you give me what your using and if its stable?
Thanks team!
LeeDroid is the best IMO
What kind of issues have u heard about with insertcoin? I installed this the other day and it works great! Would also like to know what the leeroid has over insertcoin cause i was thinking about that one as well

Been using Insertcoin for the last few days, works great. No issues so far.
CoreDroid, all the 2.3.4 goodies along with one SEXY ass theme!

CoreDroid V4 (2.3.4) works well!
x 2 on CoreDroid. I've been using it without problems (other than the fact that autobrightness doesn't transition smoothly for me), and I haven't read of anyone else having that problem. Overall very fast and good looking rom.

Yeah coredroid really looks good on this phone. Rom is super slick too. Finally feels like a dual core is inside of it.

InsertCoin v2.1. I'll eventually upgrade to 2.2.1 or whatever the current release is soon. The stock kernal flies. I haven't given the custom kernal a go yet.

Senseless 1.3 =] Great rom with a great gingerbread theme.. Hopefully upgraded to 2.3.4 soon!
As soon as most of us switched to S-Off, I was heistant on flashing since most ROMS as already mentioned were unstable with very few options for T-Mo USA users.
However after messing around with a few stock rooted roms, I jumped on InsertCoin and have not looked back. Some hiccups in the begining, but stable overall. Great ROM.

Did you switch to the recommended radio for insertcoin as well? I really want to try insertcoin but am afraid of flashing radios, and CoreDroid has just happened to work fine with stock tmous radio, so it's a great solution as of now.

coredroid try it if u haven't yet what u have to lose
Using latest MDJ Virtous rom. He knows what he's doing.
Insert Coin far and away the fastest imo.
i don't have htc sensation but what about Android Revolution HD ROM ???
I first check RevolutionHD, but didn't find it much better than the stock rom, so I changed to Leedroid and with the brand new 2.3.4 inside I definitely love it.
Maybe will have a look on Insert Coin in the future ase many here are favoring it.
Hey guys,
I have been locking for a stock ROM of the Sensation XE but all I found where custom ROMS based on the XE.
Are there any working stock Sensation XE ROMs? Couldn't find anything with the search function.
1. S-OFF
2. Super CID
3. Flash the XE RUU
You now have a 100% stock XE, albeit with 1.2GHz rather than 1.5GHz

The Sensation and the Sensation do have the same hardware except for the battery right?
Is it possible to clock the Sensation to 1,5GhZ?
Yep, but you need a custom kernel for it

Is there a ROM which is basically stock but has a custom kernel clocked to 1,5 GhZ?
Kind of turning the Sensation into a Sensation XE?
Yep, InsertCoin or Android Revolution HD (not the Sense 3.5 versions)
OR, my stock XE ROM + the recommended kernel

flash EddyOS stock xe Rom then just flash a different kernel over it. You cannot I don't think have pure stock and custom kernel.

Hi guys,
first of all: i am using currently Android Revolution HD 4.1.9 on my HTC Sensation.
but, i am tired of flashing custom roms and looking for the "best" rom.
Now, i guess i want backt to Stock Rom. With flashing Eddies Rom is it possible to receive OTA's in the future (because of coming ICS).
Thx for short reply...

Look the thing is, as soon as any hint of ICS ROM test or official gets leaked, I guarantee that within 2 days there will be custom ROM's so best stick to non stock for now.
To answer your question, no I don't think it possible to receive OTA updates on EddyOS

Ok MrAngry ;-) yes i know when ICS is released the wolves will come out of the cave and produce a custom rom

Yes, with a rooted phone you can install custom a Kernel or Rom.
Download and install ROMmanager. This will allow you to install Clockworkrecovery. Once that is installed you can download your choice of Kernel - I can personally recommend Bricked or Faux kernels - found elsewhere here on xda. Save the downloaded file to your sd card and select the Install ROM from SD card option in ROM manager.
NOTE: Before you install this, make a NAND backup - you will get prompted by Rom manager - this will allow you to restore back to your current position if you experience any problems or are unhappy with the update.
All this information is available in the forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1109
FS61 post 13 stock sensation le rom from europe, works great in stuttgart, just left there.
I have been reading posts about ICS ROMS and it seems that there is no perfectly working ICS ROM yet. Is it true?
And if you saying that ROM is stable that means that you have no problems at all with it? No app forse closing, random reboots or sense misbehavior?
Sorry if my post didn't belong here or if there are topics about this, I would appreciate if you post links to that threads

i have been using the androidHD ISC rom with 3.12 firmware and the only issue i can see is that the effects in the camera do not work. but i believe that has been fixed now with the 3.24 firmware package. 3d games work such as shadowgun and dark, no apps have FC'ed on me yet and no random reboots either. just make sure you make a nandroid backup and just test a few ICS roms out and see which one suits your needs.............................sudeki300
i'm now currently on 4.0.3 with ARHD 6.1.1
it is very smooth and i have not discovered any bugs so far.

Flash them all and see which one you like best. Thats pretty much the only way to know.

The ICS roms are certainly stable enough for daily driver. The 3.12 based roms had a few issues, one being the use of camera effects, this was causing the camera to force close. These issues have been fixed in the new 3.24 based roms. I can't find a single issue in either arhd 6.1.1 or insertcoin 4.4.3. I haven't had a single force close or strange behavior from any part of the software

I have flashed Virtuous Inquisition v3.0.0 this morning (on my XE) and I must say, it is fantastic and beats other roms out there in terms of speed, being stable, no FC's etc.
If you don't mind that HTC Sense (the launcher etc.) is missing, I would go for this if you are wanting to try out ICS.
I have tried ARHD, InsertCoin and the RUU before this, but they were not to my liking and I found them very slow and unresponsive.
Please note, I flashed the 3.24 firmware.
I am using Leedroid 6.0.0 and have been using all the other leedroid ICS releases.
My only problem is a fc of soundset on startup and thats it.
So yes it is safe.
Thanks guys for answers I'm using now ICS ROM (InsertCoin 4.4.4 thanks to baad) and my experience is even better than it was with custom GB ROM. I guess it's partly because of me using Titanium Backup correctly now xD Everything is working and no lags

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.
try WiFix (search google for the xda thread for it) or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436683
I tried prior to your post but I still seem to have the same problem. Oh well...
I have a strange problem. My touchscreen won't work with certain roms or kernels. Viper is one of them. After installing the rom i have to flash bricked kernel to make the touchscreen work. What might be the problem? After searching found some people with the same problem. But instead of finding a solution they kept using working kernels.
My wife's phone has this problem but only with viper.
She was already running viper (1.5.2 I think) when the screen just stopped responding one day (it was fine in recovery though).
Since then, its fine with any other Rom we've tried, but every time we try to flash a viper Rom, the screen doesn't work straight away.
Personally I think whatever the problem is is caused by viper, which is a shame cos its a damn fine Rom!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e
Same thing here. On recovery it works just fine. Besides Viper rom I've had the same problem with the stock rom and maybe few other roms that I don't remember. Also got the bricked kernel tip from your post.
We've gone back to sense 3.6 and loving it to be honest. Using elegancia bliss 3.8.0 at the minute but will be flashing darkforest 7.3.0 as soon as it is released
