I have an HTC sensation for tmobile I just recently got it and noticed it was already rooted and it seems to be running great but I'm afraid of flashing another Rom on it all I want to know tho is will I be able to get the ics updated even tho its rooted??

You'll want to flash a modified ICS rom instead of waiting months for a carrier update. You might get OTA updates if you're stock rom + rooted, but if it's a custom rom, you won't.
Seriously though, don't wait for your carrier to update your phone, they'll add their **** to it and ruin it.
Yeah I'm just gonna wait for a good stable ics Rom then flash it I never like waiting is there any u recomend?

ARHD 6.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4
ARHD 3.6.13 is a Gingerbread ROM compared to 6.0 which is an ICS ROM.
ICS Senseless ROM
I really love the Virtuous Inquisition ROM. It is an ICS based ROM without Sense and has the appearance and features of pure ICS.
You can find it here.
It is very stable and has great battery life.

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.

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.
When the official ota is released will the ROMs be any smoother/different? I want to switch to stock Rom(sense eats up my battery) virtuous inquisition is only senseless. I want a completley stock Rom.... If so any idea of when this will happen? I love sense, just not the battery life
Sent from my insertcoined Sensation 4G with Beats Audio
The official OTA has already been released, ROM's like ARHD 6.5 are based on it.
But the official ota is also only in certain areas right now, but there r some stock roms out there already. Just browse the development section
I know but I don't want sense... And most are just sensless though... The only true stock I've seen is virtous Quattro but its out dated
Sent from my insertcoined Sensation 4G with Beats Audio
There is never going to be an official stock or AOSP ROM...

You do realize that ANY stock rom for Sensation will come with sense don't you??? I only ask cause you state sense eats the battery but stock will come with sense as well. Not to mention bloatware that will probably use some battery too.
If you are looking for battery saving stuff, you are better off with a modded rom from some dev here.
Actually rooted roms run way another and faster than stock roms since must if them are stripped of bloatware and other ram eating applications.

Yeah, which? I'd like t know... There are some, unfortunately they all come with something broken, I wouldn't consider them super stable yet! Correct me if I'm wrong but CyanogenMod isn't even available for the sensation! (I think I'm wrong.. I think it works but tons of bugs. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong!)
Senseless Roms don't count either
Sent from my insertcoined Sensation 4G with Beats Audio
You're confusing people with the terminology you're using. Official means from the manufacturer and stock just means untouched. With HTC being the manufacturer any official stock ROM will come with Sense.
The real point is when HTC release their ICS kernel source and drivers, then developers can really get to work and hopefully release fully-functional AOSP ROMs.
Ok sorry for the confusion..
I mean like a Rom that's ICS with no sense... But not a senseless Rom like inquisition...
Sent from my insertcoined Sensation 4G with Beats Audio
of course HTC won't release it OTA. Because they're always with their Sense. Maybe they will update to sense 4.0. but not to AOSP.
u can wait or try the avaiable CM9 though

Hi guys,
Been running the HTC Desire & LG Optimus 3D for the last 12 months, done a bit of work on both and tried pretty much every ROM availiable for both phones. Just got hold of a Sensation that I'm looking to Root, S-Off, install CWM and then install the best stable ICS ROM.
Looking for one that gives full ICS experience with good battery life but is still fast and smooth.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
John
Best stable ICS rom is stock ICS rom like this one HERE (thanks mike1986)
This is my very personal opinion of course.
insertcoin roms are the bestest roms in the forums

These are my favorites in descending order:
1. Insert Coin
2. ARHD
3. Elegancia
I tried all of them. Believe me the best rom (stable, fast, nice) rom is stock ics
rom. install 3.32.401.105 version, then leedroid tweaks + Beats audio + 1.5 ghz sebastian kernel. This is what rommakers does. this is best for me.

Hey Guys,
what "STABLE" gingerbread rom do u recommended?
I usually play games alot and surf the internet so i need the battery to last long.
ARHD 3.x
Android Revolution Hd is the best...
You can't argue with ARHD, its the most stable.
ARHD too, the most stable Gingerbread ROM.
Thanks guys.
ARHD ftw!
Guys
can u give me the mirror link for arhd 3.6.13?
my download speed is slow if i download from the main link.
Thanks.
I'd recommend Bulletproof. My wife won't let me upgrade her Sensation to ICS because of great battery, no reboots, etc with that Rom.

is there a link or website where old gingerbread roms are stored??
Everything is based om ics now and all the old gingerbread links are removed?
insertcoin
i use an old incertcoin rom witch i have , found to be the most stable en battery efficient .
InsertCoin_Sensation_Android_2.3.4_Stable_2_2.5-SE
you also need an incremental rom to instal on top of this
InsertCoin_Sensation_Android_2.3.4_Stable_2_2.5-SSE
i can t locate them on the internet anymore , i have it on my harddisk
In the ARHD thread is still a link to a Gingerbread rom in the first post. (Ver 3.6.13, it`s Android 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0)

Hi,

I would prefer the energy Rom, because it has tweaks (like the leedroid tweaks for ics)

I just rooted my Sensation XE and got it S-off. :victory:
Installed Rom Manager and Titanium backup (backed-up everything).
Now i don't know wich Rom i would use....there are so many...
I want it to be stable, i use Go Launcher instead of Sense because Sense had the ennoying problem it was closing to free memory when i was using a load of memory. In Go Launcher i can select it to remain always open.
I would like a stable ROM wich keeps camera, bluetooth etc....all working without problems.
In addition of this question i would like to know if i can just remove Sense true titanium backup from my phone without problems? (on stock rom or other ROM ? )
I hope i put this thread in the right section 'cos i'm not used to using this forum yet
Thanks in advance for every reply :good:
You should seriously try Virtuous Inquisition very fast and stable. It's running Android ICS. But I don't know if you installed the required firmware. If not, do so.
Oh, and it's an AOSP Rom and it's senseless. Everything works fine.
Were can i find that rom and info about the requierd firmware ?

You can find the required firmware specs on the developers site of each Rom. I highly suggest trying out SEVERAL roms and see which one fits you the best. I'm using lightening Rom now.its brand new sense 4 and is fast and smooth! I think you would like it! No problems with it. But see its all a matter of personal taste . So do yourself a favor and try out SEVERAL! Have fun and happy flashing

In my opinion Android Revolution HD us the best rom I tryed, Mike does not use portings to ensure maximum stability and speeds... It comes with sense 3.6 bit on the thread he provides a script to completely remove HTC Sense...
It has a completely stock look... It's just optimized and updated.

What are you all retarded ?!?!?!? You gotta go aosp!!!! CM9 is the best choice only retards and crackheads like sense overlay (all offense) lol
I must say that on factory ROM i was using Go Launcher because Sense got closed sometimes when I was using many RAM. Reloading Sense always took a bit of time wich I found annoying. The downside of using go launcher was the loss of the HTC widgets... Go contacts wasn't so good in my opinion. In my current ROM Sense didn't close once so for me it's perfect. It looks very beautiful and it's faster than ever before.
