Which ICS rom do you prefer?

I'm not totally sure yet as it isn't 100% yet

With sense - ARHD (for now!); Without sense - Virtuous Inquisition.. That's my opinion..

I've tried ARHD but the terrible battery life made me go to Virtuous Inquisition. Very stable.

What's the point of this thread?
It's like going to a bar and asking a bunch of guys which beer is the best. Hopefully you don't get punched in a face

Even so, there is a difference in quality when some are stable and others are still in Alpha.
I've always had minor problems with ARHD, performance hiccups and whatnot. Virtuous Inquisition, however, is stable and just feels lightning fast and smooth.

No one is perfect wait until official release if you don't want to be in trouble.

Insertcoin with SebestianFM 1.5 - Stable, fast, and plenty of battery life.

I think this thread could go that way: flash and post a review! Think of it like ROM tasting - have a sniff, a taste, spit it out, rinse and try the next one.
It's not always as simple as that, but I suspect that now that TripNRaVer released his beta ROM of the Cyanogenmod 9 source, for Sensation, that developers can be inspired to also source from CM9 and get some more ROMs out, based on CM9.
Has anyone here got it running and can compare it to the best on XDA?
I've waited this long. Just waiting until we have a CM9 ROM running properly, then will try a few of them.
CM9 for Sensation is a great leap for Sensation ROMs, IMHO.

Kristofpetho's HyperNonSense is excellent! I installed it on my gf's phone and it's super fast and stable. She prefers speed over beauty though, so that's always something to consider

InsertCoin
For me i'd say: InsertCoin v4.4.6 - stable, performance wise (battery, etc), above par compared to other ROMs out there!.

Is that rom AOSP or built off sense?

My preference is Exactly same as yours....

I use ARHD 6.2.1 XE but I cannot connect wifi networks with enterprise security. So, ARHD is not so good!

InsertCoin 4.4.8. Amazing ROM: fast, snappy and nice mods.

I am using ARHD 6.2.1 xe........for me everything works fine....and battery Life is amazing too.......thanks Mike and Team....

Insertcoin 4.4.8 (and since the beginning...). In the past I vasilated(sp?) between it and ARHD.
I tend to stick with one dev though.

Revolution HD: ICS vs. Sense and recent releases

I'm trying to avoid having to read through 50,000 posts because the ARHD thread has gotten a bit unweildy...
I'm currently running ARHD 3.6.5.
As you can tell it's been a while since updating and honestly I was waiting around for a stable ICS remix.
At any rate can anyone clue me in on where the scene is at? I see there's different versions of ICS available for ARHD; are they worth while, daily drivers or should I just update my sense ARHD to the current version?

mike1986 said that the current base used for 6.2.1 XE might be close to final. I'm using 6.2.1 XE as a daily driver, without issues.
If you flash this ROM make sure you also flash the correct firmware.

Thanks for the reply.
Did you install the 1.2 or 1.5Ghz version and/or is there a noticeable difference in performance AND battery life? I'm more interested in battery honestly. I'm not much of a power user and I don't stream or watch videos on this really.
Also, is a Super Wipe necessary?

Definitely if you're coming from Gingerbread.

Battery life on ICS sense is amazing for me compared to GB literaly get almost double the batterylife . It sucks though cuz I feel that sense 3.0 is way smoother and faster so I switched back till a new leak is released. Everyone says that sense 3.6 is faster and smoother than 3.0 though :/

New Sensation user

First I would like to say hello. I'm coming from the mytouch 4g slide. I wanted a bigger screen and didn't like the side's keyboard. I have yet to root. I figured I could wait till the official ICS update but I remembered I really hate sense. Any suggestions on aosp roms?

Virtuous Inquisition. It's sense based but all sense crap has been removed. Can't go wrong with this one.

Opensensation cm9 > Inquisition guys. VI is a sense rom, anyway, not aosp. Now that we have bt and 1080p I don't know why anyone would stay on VI.
OP: Go with cm9 April 1st build, it's very stable, silky smooth and fast

Virtuous inquisition is senseless but once cm9 is out and stable switch to that. Its aosp and you will get the most out of your phone. Also flash a kernel that's 1.5 gigahertz like the Sebastian fm kernel. If you look on wikipedia the 4g sensation is under clocked. Same processor as the xe. Hope I hoped!

VI is about 99% aosp & has just a few Sense parts to make it work. It's fast, smooth, very stable, and very popular. If you wish to debate this, then contact it's great developer RMK40 & the Virtuous Team!

Hi,
You can also test ARHD 6.5.5 with the no-sense script ...
It's a very smooth and stable ROM

So what are the difference between VI's ICS and the CM9 as far as the video recording and other feature related things?
What bugs remain in both?

CM9 currently can't record 480p. 1080p and 720p work fine though.

agree with you. ARHD is a wonderful ROM and is very smooth and stable..been using it for quite a while with no crash whatsoever..although it is based on sense 3.6, which in my opinion is awesome. heh

Which is the best Sense 4 ROM?

Well title says it all. The best for you and why? I'm about to flash one but i'm not sure which of them... Thank you

For me it is viper because of the tweaks and the battery life I was able to get with it.

Again with the ROM comparisons, how many times do people have to be told - dont do it, it can be rude and offensive to chefs!
What might be best for someone might not be best for someone else, the only way to find out is to try.

ViperS for me so far, I found the overclocked 1.4.1 kernel made it even smoother!

All of them! Try some and report back...

ViperS for me too!
Even underclocked my SensationXE to 1,18 GHz, normal Sensation frequency. Rom is still very smooth, reacts very well and the battery life is great!

Obviouslly ViperSs 1.0.1
GO FOR IT....Everything's working Butter smooth, No any issue...
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I just flashed Viper for my first ROM. I am very pleased with it, but I am still waiting for the battery to settle down a little. Burning a little quicker than stock right now, but things should get better.

ROM Suggestion

Excuse me guys. I'm new here and i want to know your rom you are using just so i can choose rom for me. Please let me know alright
Because there are too many rom in this sensation and with the size file it is hard to download and try them all.

Try Elegancia but wait for the 3.4.0 update which look promising,

It really depends on how you use your phone, what you want, etc...
If you're a tmobile user and need wifi calling then the jellybean ROMs are a bad choice for instance..
In short you really can't ask what's the best ROM and get a useful answer without telling people what you need and expect..

That's right. It's kinda very invidual thing and just after a long searching and trying you can choose which ROM fits you the best. :good:

hey there
am currently stuck at the ViperS ROM with Sebastian FM kernel besides a 128mb zram.
these two are quite gud for me n does suffice for a nearly professional use.
