There is no pure AOSP ICS at the moment the best you will do for now is virtuous senseless

Are you sure you've searched a lot? Virtuous Inquisition is a Sense-less ICS ROM.

Try this site for a neat summary of all available roms : htcsensationroms.com

I'm going to +1 for Virtuous Inquisition as well. I just switched to it after using ADHD for a long time. There's a few very minor bugs, but overall its very nice and while not AOSP, it does come close.

okay so ive tried so hard to put that virtuous rom on my phone and it will not go on ive unrooted and re rooted and ive done my supercid but it still doesnt work?? ive flashed ICS firmware aswell :L please help!

I was going to suggest Virtuous but since you already flashed it..
Is it rebooting over and over again? What is the problem?

Did you do a SuperWipe before installing the ROM?

Yeah I have to agree with the consensus here and recommend Virtuous Inquisition. I've just rooted for the first time ever and this was the first custom ROM I installed. It is really excellent.

There's a dummy proof wipe option in 4ext recovery the I think does the same thing as super wipe, I've used it between rooms several tines now with no issues. Currently on VI's 4.0.1 rom, gonna update tonite.

tried searching...best non sense gingerbread rom

I know there have been many threads about this, but for some reason my search is not pulling up any answers....
Just a simple question,
What is the best/most stable non sense/sense stripped Gingerbread rom?
Please note, Im not asking about CM7, ASOP, or ICS roms as I know none are 100%.
I dont know why my search is not pulling up related threads, so what is the most stable and fastest non sense gingerbread rom? I though I remember reading Virtusous was awesome, but I cant even find that...
Guessing something is wrong with the search so can you guys give me a few choices with the links?
Thanks
I suggest ARHD the gb version is perfect.

I thought it had sense, is there a version with sense stripped out?
There have been a few mods that say you can turn the sense off, but I have never tried as I love my sense and actually won't use a rom now unless it has Sense 3.5 as I like the features of that sense rendition better than 3.0.
Funny, I went through a massive search today to find the best non-sense GB rom. Sadly, HyperNonSense GB is no more and has been replaced with the ICS version. Two others, Beastmod and Senseless Extreme are hosted on multiupload, and that goddamn website seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth.
That being said, I'm back on Virtuous Inquisition, which is great, but I don't want to use ICS until custom roms are based on an official release.
I started to try out different ROMs and the "Knowledgeable Ones" said, there is no best one to point out other than trying every ROM. Man it's soooo true ! The best one for me may not even suit you. I HAVE tried every GB ROM out there and settled with "SENSEAY ROM removing the sense with No-Sense script" keeping the essential parts of sense like lockscreen but making it super smooth & i think as the development of GB ROMs are complete, further upgrade or assistance is no more needed and that's why developers are giving their time for ICS. You can use the search button for whole week looking for best ROM, but i think it will only make you more confused . Start with a ROM u like (Use no-sense script if u wanna get rid of sense), if u like it more, make a nandroid backup & try another one. U have to be the one to decide the "BEST ROM"
Use ARHD 3.6.13 and use the No-sense script. It's very speedy and great battery life to boot!

it is not speedy.... i went from arhd (gb) to arhd (ics) to virtuous inquisition (ics) and the peformance difference is night and day.. arhd even with the no sense script is definitely laggy compared to AOSP

so your using the GB version of Virtuous Inquisition? I can only find the ICS version... can you link me to it?
MIUI 2.2.3!!!!!
Would prefer the Coredroid 3.3 GB really stable and fast/smooth interface has a lot of tweaks also, tried others keeps FC on some application, cant remember which app but mostly the sense. Goodluck. Now im on DF ICS and im keeping my Coredroid 3.3 backup just in case i want to revert back.

[Q] Roms for Stock Firmware?

Hi
I'm very new to this custom rom thing, but not a complete noob...
I am curious if there are any custom roms that will work on stock firmware/kernel...?
I flashed Clockwork recovery and are using that at the moment
So far i have tried a lot of roms (mostly ICS ones) and the one ones working so far is one of the MIUI roms which i am using at the moment, but it laggs a fair bit.
I unlocked via HTC Dev tool and thus have a weird bootloader at the moment. Will flashing firmware remove this? will i be able to restore the original firmware from a backup i have already made?
Picture shows my current status.
Any suggestions for roms would be helpful.
Thanks
You are still s-on you need s-off to get root access. Get that one first. Then energy sense 3.5 is great stable Rom wich has stock kernal.

+1 on the S-OFF. When you have it and rooted and custom recovery, make sure you do a Nandroid backup ASAP and keep it safe.
I liked CM7, then again I like AOSP ROMs in general. I was dual running CM7 (GB) and Virtuous Inquisition (ICS) on 1.23.0000 HBOOT for a while. Now gone over to 1.27.1100.

Sorry for noob question, but i've tried many things to get S-off, (incuding revolutionary.io) but nothing seems to work. Is there any way to get rid of the HTC unlocking thing and flash something else?

Best non-Sense ICS rom? and is this the best way to upgrade?

hey guys,
So im still on Gingerbread. Thinking of finally upgrading to ICS. I have a Tmo Sensation 4g.
So I was going to use this guide to follow as the upgrade procedure to ICS:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
But instead of flashing the exact rom in the guide, I was thinking of flashing a non-sense version...
So 2 questions:
1. Can I just follow that guide and flash any ICS rom, or since Im following that guide do i need to flash the same rom that is in that guide rom? If I do flash the rom in that guide, since Ill be on the correct firmware, can I just go then and flash any of the new ICS Roms?
2. what would you guys consider to be the most stable, cleanest, or best non Sense/Senseless/ or Sense-stripped ICS Rom?
Thanks so much everyone. I realize there are lots of related posts, but I cant find an exact answer for my question
If you want a non-sense rom, flash the Virtuous Inquisition. It's pretty stable and i highly recommend it. Remember to flash the 3.32 firmware before flashing the rom.
And no, you don't have to flash the rom found in the guide if you don't want to.
thanks.
another quick question.
when ICS roms first started coming out, i seem to remember that there was some sort of setting where you had to enable or force both cores to run. is this still the case? if so, how?
thanks
Go with HyperNonSense, its really the only functional "no sense" ROM at this time. It also happens to be pretty good!
thanks for the response
i was thinking of going with Virtous Inquisition... but have not flashed it yet. Can you please tell me why Hypernonsense would be a better choice?
Thanks
flash different roms and see which one you like

Agree with this guy. Try it out yourself!
As for the other guy, he claims it's the only functional "no-sense" Rom without any backup/proof... It's already clear here that it's all opinion. I wouldn't believe him and I think he's just blurting that out, due to love for his fav rom. I'd do the same!
i use hypernonsense 1.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350492
thanks for all the responses. I first flashed ARHD ICS from GB yesterday as my first ICS rom. then i flashed hypernonsense due to the suggestion above as i am completely sick of sense.
all I can say is wow. this is by far the most i have loved my phone in a long time. will probably try VI at some point or any other non sense roms. but after leaving sense, I sure can not see myself going back to sense.
I used to have a first gen mytouch3g, then Vibrant, and now I finally like my Sensation
if anyone has yet to try a non sense rom, I strongly urge you to try one. the phone is so damn buttery smooth and it feels like a completely different phone
In sense roms i prefer : ARHD , InsertCoin
Non sense : Virtous , hypernosense

Hey go for the miui version from miui.com. initially everything will be in Chinese but then it turns alright once you reboot. Plop apex launcher on and you're good to go if you prefer "standard" launchers.

[Q] different ROMs

now there are several types of android4.0+sense4.0 ROMs out there, currently I am using Ordroid 1.8.3 ROM (beats audio, BT are not working) for my Sensation XE , I am a noob, so I want to ask: will my phone possibly be bricked if I flash different android4.0+sense4.0 ROMs? I heard that many phone owners got their phone bricked when they are trying to flash and change different 4.0 ROMs...
I got firmware 2.32, super CID, 4EXT recovery touch 1.0.0.4 RC3 in my phone.
Thanks for all your help.

This is a good if not the best 4.0 ICS rom. There is pretty much no issues, everything works and it is senseless. It has very good battery life also, just follow directions on how to update everything, it is fairly easy
Read the developer's instructions
First use the recommended firmware. Almost all HTC sensation ics roms use the 3.32.4xx firmware go to mikes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 and lea;rn more about it. I'm currently using Opensation CM9 ICS 4.0.4. I installed the 3.32.40xxx firmware and I installed almost all the popular ics ROMS and it worked perfectly. Just use the recommended firmware and don't install ics with sense 4.0. Use mike1986 roms or the senseless virtuous Inquisition and they work perfectly with the 3.32.4xx firmware.

Omg there is tons of thread like this ! Im sick of this seriously it just depends on peoples taste go try a rom and see for yourself if you like it or not ...
Its like asking what is the best car to drive ..
It just depends on you..
Not trying to be a douche or anything just sayin.

Sense 3.6 I'd say ARHD
Sense 4.0 I'd say OrDroid or InsertCoin.
But try a few and see what works best for you as said above.

I just flashed over Ordroid a couple of days ago sence 4. I was Amazed at the available customization during flashing with Aroma installer and AFTER installation with Ordroid tweaks! I just LOVE the options available to me! Is a stable rom, I get WiFi but not tethering. But besides the tethering its AWESOME so far! So much depends on what your personal needs are but by your post it sounds like you would really love ordroid. Little customizations make it uniquely personal. I highly recommend you try Ordroid 8.6.5. Sense 4 is amazing! But what like most is the ability to custoize. I don't think you will be sorry if you choose Ordroid!

VI v4.0.2 works a treat for me!
Stock T-Mobile Sense 3.6 Elegancia rom. ****ing awesome! 1.1.0 to be exact. It's the stock rom with nothing added, just rooted.
Would definitely recommend Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2
If you're more of a sense person, why not try Ordroid(Sense 4.0) or InsertCoin(Sense 3.6)?
Thanks guys got lot of info abt three custom roms... Seems ordoid and VI are the best..i m not into more sense but would like to try once sense 4.0...
Also i just rooted my phone and s-offd it. And downloaded some custom roms btr everywhere it says one warning that firmware should be 3.30 or something..and i have stock firmware 1.52 something.. I guess i need to upgrade it but got confused after seeing lot of threads..

bro, if you're new to rooting and flashing new ROM, i suggest you to try ARHD first because most of the guide are using ARHD as example. i started rooting two months ago, and read most of the info from there.

Yes upgrade to 3.32 firmware BEFORE you flash any Ics rom. And yes you will love ordroid especially if you like customization! Sense 4 is wonderful! Never had trouble with it yet. But please remember the firmweare is EXTREMELY important, you will get into trouble if you try to use any Ics (4.0.3) rom with out upgrading the firmweare first. So please upgrade to the 3.32 firmware FIRST. Hope this clears up the confusion and helps! It's very important you do this without question if you want the Ics Roms. Which your saying you do. Have fun and good luck! I know you will just love sense 4! Happy flashing!

Thank you very much everybody..i updated it to 3.32 and flashed it worth custom roms..i tried ARHD and VI and both are amazing.. Battery life has been the best..i have put ordroid on download and eager to check it also..never thought it would look so beautiful with those roms... Following i have downloaded:
ARHD (5 out of 5)

Hypersensation (not tried yet)
Virtuous Inquisition (5 out of 5)
InsertCoin Evolution (not yet tried)
There are lot of roms for this phone. Wish my razr also had roms like these.

Best Sense Roms
OrDroid with sense 4.0, most bloatware removed, frequent updates, bugs HDMI out, WiFi Tether,
InsertCoin same as above, different theming
Team Pokemon, new sense 4.0, same bugs as above, however, Pokemon team has great tweaks as well as some of the best dev's, including the dev on OrDroid,
ARHD is the best sense rom without bugs, however Sense 3.6 with most bloatware removed, updating is slow, however, due to stability or the rom isn't a problem
You can try them all, you will end in the Elegancia's threads anyway!
I'd give Cyanogen Mod 9's Nightly build a try. I flashed over from Android Revolution HD and I'll never go back. The entire build is sleak and smooth. Android 4.0 brought a whole new way to see things when it comes to Android for me.
