I really like some of the small upgrades to the stock ICS email app (namely, the ability to search!) however I'm not ready to go to ICS yet. There isn't a single version that we have yet that is stable enough for my use. The ones based on the leaks aren't stable enough with WiFi Calling and the AOSP ones have their own issues. So for now I'd like to stay on GB (currently HyperSensation). Anybody know if its possible to backport the ICS email app to a GB based ROM?
insert coin 4.4.x has wifi tehtering and wifi calling working perfect for me at least
i have a tmob sensation
battery is good i havent ran into any issue all camera options work without any problems too
No, all the ucs apps rely on the new framework in ics to work. You can't use ics apps with gb roms.

I just got my first Android phone! But I've heard that the stock Android build is a lot better than TMobile skin, so I wanted to root it and put Froyo or Gingerbread on my phone. My one issue is I like the TMobile WiFi calling app, but TMobile says they dont have it for download on the Android market for it. Is there any way to get the TMobile wifi calling app on my phone if I put stock Android on it?
Jbv? What is that?

Was spamming to get to 10 posts. ignore it. It's been dealt with.
Check the ROMs that interest you. Kineto's WiFi Calling is included in CM7. I don't use it, however.
HTC Glacier running CM7 #33
The standard wifi calling app is included in most, if not all of the ROM's I've tried so far...
Sent from my Glacier running CM7
Oh really. So the stock Froyo or Gingerbread rom would have it?
What rom would you recommend? I think I just want the standard Android UI.
Ice glacier rom
I would recommend the Ice glacier rom if you like the current look n feel of stock, overclock enabled, the themed version had blue sun/moon on the htc sense weather and a few blue icons, unthemed is looking like stock, no blue sun
I don't really like the stock look of the myTouch 4G. I would rather have the stock froyo or gingerbread UI, but I also want the T-Mobile wifi calling to work.
The cm6 or cm7 both have the wifi calling built in. They are pretty stock asop style if trnava what your looking for. Also there is a g2 port which I believe is as straight a android build you can get.

Thank you very much I was worry the same thing cause I lost cellular signal and it switch to wifi calling automatically
SO I rooted my wifes Inspire 4g like 4 months ago and didn't do much of anything with it after the fact. No new kernel, no rom cooks or such. All stock other than a few choice root access apps.
She got a notification that their is a new update ( assuming the sense update and such) but she went to accept the update it hung in a godless limbo until she told me what happened and I did a battery pull.
SO the question is, why is this?
Is their a stock newest firmware/rom for the inspire with built in root and maybe an overclocked kernel that I can put on the phone for her. She wants her phone to run like it did out of the box with the HTC widgets but with all the updates.
Can anyone gimme some info........
You don't want to do an over the air update since your phone is not stock. It will break your root and may cause other problems. Turn off software check in menu/about phone, or decline any OTA updates. There are plenty of roms to choose from in the development section. You just need to decide which one you like.
If you're looking for a rom that is close to stock (since you stated your wife wants it to run like it did out of the box), I'll assume she doesn't want sense. Cleardroid was a great rom when I used it, but I like the sense components and have switched to ARHD (see signature). You'll have to check and see if Cleardroid allows for OC/UV and all that stuff.

You're confusing me. ClearDroid has Sense. It is Sense 2.1, but it is Sense. I do believe you were talking about Sense 3.0 or 3.5 (I have not used Android Revolution even though it was the first ROM I downloaded). But I agree that ClearDroid is a great ROM.

Cleardoid is the only Rom left, that I know of, that is still supported and uses the latest htc inspire update as a base(2.47.502.7). And yes it does and always has had sense, just like stock inspire. The only difference in the newer sense roms is the new lock screen and widgets are a little revamped. Other than that it looks just like stock inspire sense. The latest gingerbread update from htc comes with an annoying bug where contacts don't show in your messaging app, just the numbers. You have to tap the number and it takes you to the contact where you have to select a default widget action and that contacts name will show up for that single contact. Once you restart you phone though you have to start back over. I am not sure if cleard has fixed this on the cleardroid Rom. The inspire will probably never be updated past sense 2.1 by htc but there are plenty of custom roms with 3.0 and 3.5. Also the latest gingerbread version from htc is 2.3.3 where customs are at 2.3.4 - 2.3.7.
Honestly though if your wife wants it to run like out of the box I would just install cleardroids latest stable froyo build. The HTC gingerbread update brings better battery life and a quick notifications tab and maybe some other less interesting options, but it has many bugs that I have encountered that I do not like.

RumRunner 3 uses the same base.....jus sayin
Ah yes, my apologies, rumrunner version 3 is 2.47.502.7 as well.
I suppose there are probably some other devs that have used this base in older versions, but I think they have all moved on to newer bases by now.

Ahh my apologies, I tend to not be very clear sometimes..it seems however that everyone beat me to it so like everyone has said..Cleardroid seems to be the best option if you want it to look/run just like it was out of the box. I've used Cleardroid and it was a nice rom, I didn't have any issues but I really like the sense 3 components for some reason so my taste drifts towards those roms...
Thanks all of you. I decided on ARHD for her phone and she is digging it.
Peace
I dont have a custom rom installed and dont really want to as they all seem to have issues with wifi calling (need it since I only have 100mins prepaid plan). It doesn't seem to make sense to install extra stuff if neither are stable.
1) I would like to install a different keyboard that has swype or atleast the htc version of swype but without the keyboard vibrating every time i press a key.
2) I would also like to install/use a different kernel to overclock the cpu (and/or gpu, if possible)...is this possible?
3) Can I install/use a bootscreen/shutdown screen? and/or when i turn off the scren the screen turns off like a tv?
4) What is the quickest and/or easiest way to remove stock apps that I dont want on the phone?
Are either of these things possible without installing a gb/ics rom?
Thanks in advance.
Yes to all, but you'll have to dig to find all the resources...

With root, you can do this easily. However, the "like a tv" part isn't really working right now for sense 3.5/4.0 roms. I'm assuming you'll stick with sense 3.0, if so then yeah you'll still have that

I think Titanium backup is the most easiest method ever
1) Sorry I meant, now that i have root/s-off do i have more choices or is there some way to turn off the vibration of the keyboard?
2) ok, thanks
3) ok, im not too worried about this one...was more just curious
4) i have the free version of titanium backup so im not sure if i have the capability to remove the stock apps from the phone
you should be able to shut off the vibration when typing within the Language and Keyboard settings for whichever keyboard you are using.
There are some really good kernel devs that do work for the Sensation (faux and showp, to name just 2), and it would be of great benefit to you battery life to look into flashing kernels. Both tose guys have threads just for their kernels, with instructions for flashing.
Good luck

I was worried about this also, but Wifi calling works great with ARHD and Virtuous ICS roms.
I had a minor issue with WIFI calling with ARHD, but Virtuous seems solid. ARHD has since fixed that problem too.
Keep a backup of your current rom. Try ARHD or Virtuous for a week, and if you run into any problems, revert back.
The extra boost in speed from a well turned ROM was WELL worth it. I can't believe how slow my stock Sensation was at just scrolling albums in Google Music. Now its nice and smooth with clean ROMs.

Hey, I've been away from the xda scene for a while, I currently using break 2.3.4(I don't remember what rom) so, what current roms are good for a T-Mobile Sensation 4G
What I need:
Wi-Fi calling must work and be stable, I live in an area will very poor service.
Needs to be smooth and stable
Preferably ICS( I know I need to flash firmware so If you could tell me which one that would be great, along with the radio)
Battery life is very important.
I usually just flash a couple roms and see what works best, but there's just to many anymore so some guidance would be greatly appreciated!
The best one that I have tried is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663665
This is the Elegancia rom (Android 4, Sense 3.6) that has Beats Audio, WiFi Calling & Bluetooth Dialing Working.
I cant stress how many ROMs I tried but none of them seemed to be able to make WiFi Calling & Bluetooth Dialing work together. It was always one or the other. This is the Only ROM I have tried that had both working perfectly.
I also run the Faux kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216197) and find exceptional battery life, CPU runs much cooler, and clocked at 1.73 GHz.
Thanks! I'll be sure to try it out!
Also to clarify, there are a few different Elegancia ROMs that work with the phone. I have tested them all and on the TMOUS 4G, they dont all work as well. The one I linked to was based off of the Official TMobile release whereas the other ones are based off of the European release.
Follow up...
So I spoke too soon... Looks like the programming that TMobile uses to monitor WiFi Hotspot use is still in place on the TMobile version of the Elegancia ROM.
MAJOR bummer.

I think it'll happen on each Rom since it checks the user agent string from your browser since its sent through the network. If you really want hotspot then use a third party app

Virtuous inquisition for me. haven't had any issues. Elegancia would be my go to were it not for that hideous blue stock color and cheesy icons. If you can deal with that then go for those roms assuming you're into sense

I use HyperNonSense 2.7. Just have to add wi-fi calling from one of the addon packs. It works just fine for me. I have not tried using the hotspot function, so I can't comment on that. However, with this rom and Bricked 1.1 kernel, I get great battery life with a stable and streamlined rom. Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but good luck in your search for the combination that works for you.
ARHD is working perfectly for me.
Try Ordroid 7.1.1, its stabel and wifi hotspot app works. Also wifi calling works flawlessly... I get great battery use as well...
Give us some more info, are into Sense, AOSP. I've run just about every ROM currently available. I've started a battery test thread, it's in my sig. Just to give people an idea.
If you want Sense 4 - OrDroid is a great ROM.
If you want Sense 3.6 - Elegancia Phoenix if you like strongly themed. LeeDroid has great performance. ARHD if you prefer a stock look but strongly modded for performance.
If you want AOSP - I haven't run many because I am spoiled with HTCs keyboard, but OpenSensation, HyperNonSense. If you want strongly themed, AOKP Eye Candy.
If you like AOSP but prefer to keep the HTC Framework, SmartDroid Lilith or Virtuous Inquisition (I think this is a Sense base.)
And then if you like AOSP but like the performance of a Sense ROM, you can go with Shniz's ICS Theme located in 'Themes and Apps'.
For Wi-Fi calling you can install the latest TMoUS working. There is a thread for it. For the Wi-Fi Hotspot - there is a working third party app.
And of course, there are many kernels available - once you find a ROM you like, I say give a few a try and decide which you like best.
All the above is my opinion.
It stills comes down to user preference. You'll just have to give a few a try and determine which one you prefer.
Sense 4 ROMs are all ports from the HTC One series so expect some bugs. But if you want one, go Ordroid. That ROM is heavily maintained and fixed on.
ARHD is as stock as you can find them. But its mostly the structure of the ROM that is modified, not the appearance.
But you need WIFI calling.. Try ARHD.
Just try a few dozen roms yourself, then you can get the real picture! Happy Flashing
Hey guys, I've been away from Sensation development for a while so I'm not that current on what ROMs are available.
Basically, I've been using AOSP for a while and it's so much better at multitasking/fluidity that I don't really want to go back to Sense 3.6 or 4. However, I just don't think there's an app available that beats HTC's clock and weather functions - they really are amazing. I don't want or need access to Sense widgets, just the apps would be fine.
Is there any way to get Sense 3.6 or 4's clock and weather on a stock ICS Rom? I know it's not as simple as just chucking an apk on there because they come with additional services and libraries, so has any dev done something similar I might be able to have a look at?
Thanks for reading, I'd appreciate any advice or replies
Cheers!

No you can't, due to the framework of HTC apps it would not be possible on aosp.
However, what u can do is flash a sense rom and then flash one of the aosp aroma themes on top - that will allow you to pick if you want aosp or sense versions of certain apps and will give u the look and speed of aosp.

what u would have seen is the aosp theme - try it mate it looks and feels identical to aosp but with some htc apps. Its what ur looking for...
hi mate, i was using Virtuous Inquisition AOSP for past months, and had just went back to Sense ROMs.
Didn't do much. Was having a HBOOT 1.27, HTC firmware 3.32, while on Virtuous Inquisition. Just wiped all data, and flashed the OrDroid (Sense 4.0). Been using it for awhile, very stable so far.
ARHD is also a good choice for sense ROM, but thats a Sense3.6.
