More of a question on opinions, but with Sense 3.0 designed for dual core phones, the likelihood of it being released officially for the Thunderbolt is pretty much nil. I'm curious if HTC might be willing to roll out Sense 3.5 (removes the dual core restriction) for us. Anyone heard any whispers?
Newp.........
Very doubtful
No way would they skip 3.0 and give us 3.5. They can apparently barely handle GB don't expect them to do GB and 3.5.
Besides, Team BAMF has been giving you sense 3.5.

What? The TB can barely handle GB? My Tbolt runs faster on GB than Froyo! I'm using Gingeritis... and used various Bamf builds as well that have been GB based.
I have my doubts about Sense 3.5 running smooth, but as far as GB... no issue at all.
Seems to me They is plural, and Thunderbolt is singular.
I aint no english majer, but seems 2 mee that you are referring to the wrong subject.
HTC plays it very safe with what they will release for phone models. The fact that they will not be pushing Sense 3.0 to the TBolt assures they won't push Sense 3.5. If you want newer s/w than the manufacturer will provide, well, that's why you're here at XDA or TeamBAMF or rootzwiki, right ?
I'm using BAMF SoaB 0.5 now. Soooooooo much smoother than ANY Sense 3.0 ROM by far. It's their first release of a Sense 3.5 port and is my daily driver now.

I bet their Forever ROM is the only Sense ROM I've ever liked. Ill wait till 3. 5 comes further.

This new bamf is very nice and smooth. No overclocking at all and works perfect.
Forever 3.0 is a very nice rom indeed. Son of a bliss sense 3.5 is yet a step further of course. Been rocking it since release and for what I need and use it for I have no complaints whatsoever. Go BAMF!

I don't know of there's hindering issues with development but I feel like all there is out is sense roms. It dissappoints me.. and most of the sense roms are plain.. the same. I'm not trying to start a war or anything, just wondering. I miss fully customized aosp roms and including sense.

(Speaking as a lurker) It seems like development has slowed down a bit in recent weeks, but I think there's plenty of roms out there. I'm not sure what you're exactly looking for in a rom, but between CM7 and the huge amount of Sense roms out there (that have been themed or for which you can download skins for), I've been more than satisfied.
What other roms u want? There's aosp, cm7 nd miui
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
lack of devs? are you serious? what else can you ask for
it sure has slowed down a bit cause were all waiting for ICS and theres pretty much nothing new at the moment
ICS isnt that impressive imo, but im sure it wont be long till theres a few ports out, maybe a week or so... you could always learn and make one yourself
lack of devs lol you guys have more than the evo 3d
Aren't there are over 20 ROMs in the dev section? Sense, CM7, MIUI, AOSP that are anywhere from stock to Frankenstein'd out.

One thread lists 32 ROMs, how many do you feel there should be for one phone?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I have CM7, and we'll probably be getting CM9 in a few weeks, so I'm happy with the current state of affairs. It was worse for the original Samsung Galaxy S - that thing didn't get any truly custom ROMs for months!
Well,yes,development has slowed down, there no new leaks to work from
Cm7 and miui are being polished at the moment.
As it stands NOW, sensation is a device for sense fans, choice of sense ROMs is huge.

There is no point in this thread.
There is a multitude of roms to choose from in the development section.
No new leaks means development has to slow down.

I like touchwiz because it works the best.
Im a SPB MS fan, a bit pricy but just worth it in my opinion. They also have an experimental 3d mode which I hope they will improve upon for my evo 3d

HTC Sense FTW!
Original ICS Looks great!
+1 for Sense. It really is visually rich, and it would be incredible if it was as fast as it is beautiful. I tried the only AOSP ICS ROM for the Sensation for a while, and I think pure ICS has itself quite a good looking UI, but since the ROM I was running still has a lot of issues, I've already switched to a just-released Sense 3.5 ROM from a team I've always loved. Just installed it, and holy smokes is it smooth when paired with a particular kernel a lot of users recommended.
I can't wait to see what we get in the near future. Whether we get ICS with Sense 3.5 from HTC or if we get ICS with Sense 4.0, either way it should be pretty exciting, as I'm sure it should finally take care of the one downside of Sense-speed.
HTC Sense is the best!
Well,Sense on a device with less than 1gb of RAM isn't recommended in my opinion.HTC made the mistake to release devices like the Desire HD and Sensation with 768mb of RAM.Anyway,paired with adequately powerful hardware,Sense is awesome.And,while up to Sense 2.1 everything was quite slow,Sense 3 and 3.5 have *proper* hardware acceleration and they are at least smooth as hell.And I only own a Desire HD,not some dual-core HTC phone.
Other than Sense,ICS on the Galaxy S II is more than just good in fact.I've been missing Sense with Gingerbread(God,I hate TouchWiz's launcher),but ICS seems to make up for the loss.Oh well...
I hate sense, and I love the new optimus ui(optimus sol)

Who cares, it adds like nothing. Tmobile update is gonna be real good I think, clearly they made HTC change some stuff up since its taking so long. Its gonna be real nice methinks.

TBH, I don't really want sense because the overall taxing of the system.
And unfortunately there isn't a bug free version of AOSP yet, so i guess the main question is if 4.0.4 used with sense will improve anything?
I donot like sens, I like CM9 best
i just got a sense4.0 rom finally and IMO the dock at the bottom looks just like the one in 3.6 so yea
I hated Sense version 3.0 and 3.6. I hated it. Did I mention I hate it?
I tried Sense 4.0 on for size and I liked it. 4.0 definitely changed my opinion of sense. It's my daily driver. I hope that BT will get fixed soon
We will get 4.0.4 with some bug fixes. However only after HTC has settled down with their One series launches worldwide. I think we will get Sense 4.0 and HTC won't leave their 2011 phone with the same Sense version as their 2010 phone cause the Desire HD will also be getting Sense 3.6.
It won't change that much with the android version.
The big deal must be done by HTC that must give a full working RUU, not a one that has still many important bugs, bugs that the Sense 4.0 Roms don't have (but they have different ones because they are portings, and that's not easy)
HTC Provided Sense 3.6 instead of Sense 4.0 because you guys should atleast get common SENSE rather than Sense4.0 buy new device to get newer softwares/UI, want an example? it's ONE V which has Sense 4.0, with hardware specs closer to Desire HD, (maybe less powerful than DHD) they launched new devices which means older ones are paper weight! I am sorry if I am so harsh..but HTC Desire Z is 1st HTC device I owned, they have completely ended its support after GB 2.3.3 update, and that's also in less than a year, look at that device Section, how active it's...Courtesy of Devs out there, people are running ICS with full hardware functions, and HTC kept users till GB 2.3.3..so that they'll buy new phones whether they have money or not...perfect business ability HTC have....so to keep it simple..through your Sensation into dustbin..forget that how expensive it was when launched..and grab new device anyhow..that's all HTC want..
Which roms are the best and must be tested ?
I need your opinion.
ARHD, no doubt.
i cannot tell you which rom is the best one, all of our devs are awesome, and it is rude for us to compare roms.
i am using coindroid now, and it is really great.
They're all differently catered to each users own needs, really. Personally, I'm always torn between whether or not I want Sense or not. So i've moved between Elegancia 4.0 and Virtuous Inquisition. I enjoy the ablitity to have standard ICS, because it's definitely a bit quicker in some instances. I sometimes get better battery life, and the menus aren't cluttered with two settings (one for sense, one for ICS.) Sense is very good looking, however. The Widgets set your phone apart and its hard to beat the aesthetics of Sense.
That being said, I've used ARHD and to suggest it is anything but fantastic is foolish. Great battery life, great customization, very stable.
The devs here are great and they all bring something to the table.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
There really isn't a best or worse Rom. They all have pros and cons. Some are more popular than others. Some people like sense, and some more AOSP like. 3.6 sense Roms are more stable than 4.0. Aosp like roms are faster and more battery friendly, but they are also more bland in my opinion (I like sense). Most of the 3.6 Roms are pretty stable and efficient. ARHD is great and stable and with lots of support, and it is also the most popular one and it is not themed at all (looks just like stock). The one I'm using now is Elegancia which is also great and stable with great support and heavily themed look that I for one enjoy. Insertcoin (also good) has the stock look but has some additional mods like Leedroid tweaks and battery percentage. These three are probably the most popular ones.
Like I said there really isn't a better or worse. It comes down to what you want and like.
right now i`m using virtuous inqusition . Is a great rom, nothing bad yet.

No offense meant to the op but I really hate these kind of threads. Besides the fact that there are approx. a billion and one threads with the same question, there is never an answer. Everybody likes different things and everybody will recommend what they themselves use. Personally I've got no use for ARHD but tons of people seem to like it. I've tried AOKP roms and like them but I actually miss having Sense so currently I'm on InsertCoin.
Try it all, that's what each and every one of these "what is the best..." threads ends up with. And just a suggestion for anybody else considering a "what's the best rom" thread....maybe use search and add to one of the already started threads?

I've been using Insert Coin for a while til I shifted to CoinDroid recently to check Sense 4 out. I suggest InsertCoin with Sense 3.6. But you have to try all to choose what is best for you
Try a few is the best for u...happy flashing!
Only you can decide which is the best rom for you, but I would recommend Insert Coin for Sense 3.6, and Ordoid for Sense 4.0. Although there are still bugs with all sense 4.0 roms atm, like you cant send files over bluetooth atm.
I use OpenSensation, very good ROM

These threads are always very subjective.. everyone will say that a particular ROM is better and everyone else will argue with that.
It all depends on what you like and what you feel will best suit your daily activities.
