I know with ROMs it really comes down to personall opinion.. so what's your personal opinion, go with CM7 or insertCoin, an why did you pick what you picked!

whenever i wanna use sense its insertcoin and CM7 when i dont wanna. i suggest using IC if you dont wanna deal with all these bugs that are present in CM7 because its only an alpha. Im not saying that CM7 isnt usable, but you might not be satisfied with some missing features
Try both, do a backup, you can always come back. I am running cm7.

i was on ARHD and im about to flash IC.. im just too new to try CM7, maybe later.
I stick with IC because baad's releases are generally very stable and he's crazy quick to fix stuff when things aren't working. Plus his rom is as fast as any out there. I do play with the CM7 releases but find myself missing some sense stuff like the camera, keyboard, general ease of customization and proper sizing of wallpaper.
I guess CM7 is supposed to be fast, but I really haven't missed much speed with any of the sense roms tbh. As long as I can play the occasional game and emulate PSX smoothly, I really don't care if sense is running in the background and "hogging up resources".
Can i have a link on both CM7 and IC for 2.3.3 Sensation thanks!

Go to dev forum and find them. It isn't so hard. Or if you can't, use the search function

It's all personal preference when it comes down to it. Sense vs. Vanilla. Honestly, I was missing Sense a lot when I switched over to CM7 a few days ago, but the only thing I really miss is the camera, and now I just replaced it with Vignette. If you need the Sense stuff then I'd say go with InsertCoin (I've never used it. I was on ARHD before I went to CM7). I don't really see any of the bugs that people are talking about for CM7 other than not being able to record 1080p without it rebooting on you. One thing I did find though is that my battery meter isn't exact and it's kind of annoying me and I can't figure out how to fix it.
Try both, and do nandroid backups. I'd say a day or two on both and you'll know which one you want.
Depends on your preferences. If you like have all the sense goodies you can flash the IC right now, expecially the new sense3.5 version is really stable and fast, else if you like have an android stock experience with low impact on your device resources and an incredible high responsive system CM7 is the way to go.
This said, i must underline the fact that in CM7 there are some thing that must be tuned up and are sightly less enjoyable and pratical compared to the Sense rom's equivalent sector. EG: the camera in CM7 does really bad when it comes to some shot that goes beyond the typical photo, and the addition of the touch to focus in the last version is not enough to close the gap, and this occurs also in social integration and some other aspect.
Generally i choose a sense rom, but i remove al the bloatware (watch, locations in primis) with TitaniumBackup and i'm just fine. With the last IC i have 190mb of RAM free in idle, and a surprisingly responsive phone, wich is great for me.
PS: i hope my english is good enough, it is some time i don't practice it up now
I am a bit new to all this. Have rooted my sensation. Looking forward using IC roms!

CM7 is basically bug free. If it were any other CM dev it'd be classified as an RC...
What are "all the bugs"?
I alternate alot between incertcoin and cm7 I just can't decide I love them both. It depends on what you like.

Now which ROM between the two, is the way to go for speeds?
And what are the pros and Cons of each of the 2, IN YOUR OPINION!
For speed ? I would say cm7 with out a doubt
Pros about cm7. Nice interface, minimalistic design, fast, snappy ,cm7 theme chooser, Cyanogenmod settings! Close to stock and very light
Cons- still has a few bugs. Dialer ,camera
Bland compared to sense
Ic pros- has Sense , is really smooth and plenty fast for most, camera ,dialer , lockscreen,nice widgets and ui ,keyboard ,might have beats depending on the Rom you get, some other HTC apps. Nice animations and effects.
Cons- its quite heavy so not as snappy as cm7 but insert coin is really smooth.

I've tried both and I can say I prefer IC, But after all it really comes to what features you want from your phone, I really recommend you to try both or even other great roms that are offered on XDA.
I personally prefer Sense 3.5 (Therefor IC) because of the awesome widgets and how they integrate with the system.
If you are looking for speed and speed only my advice is go and flash CM7 right now. But, if you care something about social integration, camera, better ui/animation and a set of truely useful and integrated widgets take some time on the IC and judge if it's fast enough for you
Or you can use boot manager and have the best of both worlds.
I have a 3D, but since the sensation is very similar I could honestly say cm would fly on you guys device. Not trying to be bias but on another note I think that AOSP is more healthier for are phones.

You're probably right, but no one can make me give up my Sense.
I, I love my Sense like a love song, baby. And I keep hittin repeat peat peat peat peat
CM7 is quick, but that's like saying u slept with the uglier chick because she was skinnier.
Praos of CM7 are that it's fast, consistent, and backed with high qual developers with stringent standards.
Cons are that all of these CM7 devs are so Spartan in their barebones approach that the phone is lacking in some areas. Not having a full functioning camera that can record hd vid was a dealbreaker for me. I also found that I missed the Sense keyboard.
I had CM7 on my Sensation for one day. It was very fast, especially the boot time was very short.
The interface is ok, but not as nice as Sense. I love Sense, although it is not that fast, i dont know. As I had several reboots with CM7, I switched so the new Stock with Sense 3.5.
Later, when Lee is back, I will go back to LeeDroid. Had there some random reboots, too. Hopefully he adds Sense 3.5
I want to upgrade to ICS 4.0 so was wondering which is the best ICS 4.0 rom in terms of least number of bugs and the one which is most stable as I dont want keep changing/upgrading ROMS.

I have stuck with ARHD 6 at the moment.
Their first ICS release was buggy and gaming was a bit of a no go, so i went over to InsertCoin for a while until the 4.0.3 came from ARHD.
Been using that since yesterday with 1.5cpu 300gpu kernel and so far it seems very stable, still no dungeon hunter though

I'm loving Virtuous Inquisition (4.0.1). I got to mess with my uncle's Galaxy Nexus and really liked the stock ICS feel. If u like sense tho, ARHD never fails to impress.

Nothing BEST you can find. The only available is FIT with your need. Tell us what you like, what you want, what you need. User here probably can assist to give you some opinion. I'm on ARHD 6.0.2 but discharging all 3d widget, and all widget. I do like plain AOSP, but I feel comfortable with htc mail, contact and keyboard. when take "combined" rom aosp-sense ... some featur not work properly. i.e incoming call not show Icon on combining aosp+sense. HTC camera driver is better than aosp, thus I made ARHD 6.0.2 as plain as possible only 145 app left. changed roboto font to bitstreamVerasan ... roboto is too small for me.
It's main reason we join xda ... to learn and having fit ROM ... stock always give you what you dont need and dont use

Well, I enjoy flashing all of them while they are in the stages of development. I like to think of each Rom like that of a child. They all start out seeking the same goal, but instinctively over time each one starts to develop a different personality. Some, and no fault of their own, are a little slow while some are pushed to fast and suffer a lack of control. Some can be predictably stable but not overly exciting. While the other side wonder about with a mind of their own seeking direction. So, to best answer your question, have some fun and challenge yourself by giving them all a chance. Isn't that why you are here on XDA? Lastly, and without a bit of irony, I have paused curiously checking out this kid that was quirky at first, but now is starting to feel comfortable and trustworthy. Ive noticed over the days a quick pace in mind which ends at the finish without any lag or do overs yet knows their is much to be learned. Finally, standing strong, front and center, I refer to you "Virtuous Inquisition 2.0.1"
Wld u consider these roms for daily use? A lot of folks end up gng back to GB...

There's no going back for me or many other members using ICS!
Well, I did like Virtuous Inquisition 1.4.2 very much, but have found many bugs in 2.0.1 that took my pleasure away (FCs here and there, can't choose Ringtones, etc.). I am using 1.4.2 as my daily driver and think it's pretty far away from an early alpha stage. But there are bugs... e.g. can't use the QuickLinks more than once in Dolphin Browser Mini, Winamp seems to be buggy etc.
Came from CM7 Alpha, so I'm used to use an alpha for my sensation Hate Sense, so AOSP or nearly AOSP fits me most.
Just my 2 Cents
If you didn't upgrade to ICS yet don't do it!
Why?
Because:
-Scrolling is slow
-Some games are not working
-Many apps FC
-Battery is horrible if using wifi
-SD messing up from time to time
-ZERO mods because htc's systemui is not compatible with apktool
So better stay with GB or wait for CM9
Have to admit, scrolling is a turn-off... Also had many FCs. Otherwise, I like the speed improvement. Don't have much battery drain.
@vegetaleb: Which ICS Rom(s) did you try?
Read somewhere, that InsertCoins ICS might be very good...
.edit: Virtuous Inquisition 2.0.1 is now working a lot better. Probably installed some 1.4.2 Apps from HTC via Titanium Backup which caused htc.com FCs.
I am using ARHD 6.0.2(ICS 4.0.3) And is amazingly smooth ,fast, very good battery life, waiting for CM ICS stable now .

So i need some help deciding what ROM should i flash.
I have 2 options.
Virtous Inquistion and Quattro.
As i dont use bluetooth and camcorder so often i would go for the quattro but maybe i need them finding myself in a desperate situation. I would like to ask you if the Senseless rom ( Inquistion) is decent in terms of speed or maybe the same as quattro.
I've been using Virtuous Inquisition for a couple of weeks now and am loving it. I haven't used the bluetooth on it yet, but the camera and camcorder have been working really well for me. My wifi tethering doesn't seem to be working either, but they just updated the ROM, so it might be working now.
Quadrant Standard with this ROM for me is 2224
I'm still getting amazed at how fast the phone works.
Its so much nicer to be using ICS without sense.
Super smooth.
Inquisition v3.0 is pretty smooth and most everything works including BT and Camera; still will get occasional freezes and reboots.
Quattro Alpha3 has a noticeably quicker overall feel given that it is ASOP, but BT and Camcorder still do not work. Here you will also get occasional freezes and reboots.
I have Nandroids of both. Inquisition is a little farther along, but both still have kinks to work out - don't expect the polish of Gingerbread.
I've been running the inquisition version 2.1 for 4 days, everything works perfectly - had no freezes or reboots. Battery life is doubled compared to stock but make sure you follow the instructions to the letter.
On my HD2 I preferred aosp builds but I think the sensation has a while to go yet - reverse engineering drivers is very hard work.

Agreed. Ive been running virtuous since its release. It is the closest thing we have to full aosp on the sensation and it has grown to be a great rom since its release. Its just about 98% stable with very minor bugs if any. Quattro has more features and is full aosp but super buggy as it is still in alpha stage. I experienced 3 reboots and browser fc's in the first 30 mins of use. When it matures I'm sure it will be great though. I loved the lock screen shortcuts and quick settings notifications but as it isn't stable I moved back to the ever so solid Virtuous 3.0, with new firmware of course

blackICE 4.3 best ICS ROM

all of the above are excellent ROMs and thanks for all the developer out there.
i must say i tried the blackICE4.3 rom from bigpercaso it is in my opinion the most beautiful ROM out there well themed and you can see that hard work made on this rom performance are good and battery life as well .......

well done big
I've used ARHD 6.0.2 and Virtuous Inquisition 3.0.0.
ARHD had FC bugs that might or might not be still there in 6.1.1, and performance is decent - not great. Battery life is good.
Virtuous Inquisition is pretty amazing. Great performance, snappy, good battery life, and only one or two random FCs so far. The only problem I have on Virtuous Inquisition is that when I try to send a message, I can't get contact suggestions when I type in a name - unless when I type in a number, then I would get contact suggestions.
Anybody else have a problem with this?

I've also been using Virtuous Inquisition and its relatively battery efficient when compared to ARHD ics. So far only 1 reboot and no lockups.

Being a fan of the Virtuous sense builds, I didn't hesitate to try VI since it's release. With a few minor bugs, the 3.0 with the latest firmware(I'm using 3.24 revolutionary) and the thing just flies. Amazing on how my phone is now compared to sense. I liked sense, but man the phone is super smooth without me having to flash kernels and such to do so. That's a testament to the Virtuous team IMO.
Bt and A2DP is important to me, so I am holding off of Quattro for now. In using VI 3.0, I have to preface that a few users, including me had some random reboots upon flashing for the first 12-24 hours. In my case my homescreens needed to be redone where the widgets would either disappear or be in the wrong place. However, after the ROM settled, the rom is IMO a great rom to try for ICS.
I am running ARHD 6.1.1 with sense 3.6 from Here Then last night I came across This the 1.7 undervolt- I don't know how the battery will be, but I do know that it is running super smooth. I have fallen in love with my phone all over again...
android revolution!
Dont know if I am late to the party
Dont know if I am late to the party....wether or not you've decided yet...But I'm going to chime in with my opinion.
Tried ARHD both ICS and non ICS ......and found that ARHD was better running GB in general quite stable and quite fast...I wasnt satisfied with the battery life I was getting...but generally a pretty solid ROM
But for running ICS I thing hands down it has to be senseless and for that I did not find anything better than Virtuous Inquisition...Im super happy with my phone and have had no glitches or weird FC's...and have great battery life....
hope this helps.
I've been flicking between ROMs recently to try and find the best one. For me it has to be Senseless - Sense is pretty but it's an absolute drain on battery, CPU, and RAM, regardless of which ROM base. For me, it's the Virtuous offerings through Inquisition and Quattro.
I'm running Quattro at the moment because it's as close as you can get to AOSP. It's coming along nicely but it's also got quite a few kinks that need to be ironed out. And I haven't been on Inquisition since 2.0, and the lock screen bug was a bit annoying. But might give it another try tonight, given that Quattro is giving my battery a good kicking. Come back once there's evidence that the battery problems have been addressed and the random FCs fixed.
OpenSensation is almost done. Great work Vorbeth an Sc2k. I think im switching to OpenS from virtuous inquisition and im sure im not the only one. No more sense based garbage
Cool, but Sense based roms aren't garbage. Sense can be sometimes, but stripped roms are good work. If video recording is fixed, I'll join you.
EDIT: So HD video recording is there. Jumping ship to CM9. lol.
hey man, you have an htc, sense is just for us, no one can have it...
htc without sense is just another phone, like others...
anyway, aosp is good framework
I totally agree, CM9 is pretty much the best ROM on our phone now
It's pretty awesome, but I do miss the Sense camera. Focusing is much better on it for some reason.
I always switch from going from CM to MIUI in trying to find what it the best ROM. I'm loving the MIUI ICS right now. I do like stock android but MIUI is beautiful and doesn't get in the way. All you have to do is put a launcher of your choice (hate stock MIUI launcher) and you are good to go.

Until the Camera on CM9 is as good as the one on Sense, I'm sticking with Sense. With a custom kernel and some tweaks on Spare Parts, this phone really flies.
Glad to hear it. I've been avoiding CM9 until someone said something along these lines. I'm always on the lookout for an awesome AOSP Rom, so I guess I'll be downloading soon.
Try Hypernonsense. It is a good in between, stripped sense with AOSP theme and it used the sense camera. Closest rom to CM9 and it is a bit snappier IMO.
The only downside is it lost support couple days ago.

What's wrong with the cm9 camera? Works fine for me and now we got 1080p.
Had Sense 2 months on my phone. Phone felt bloated and slow on 2.3.3 and Sense 3.0. Switched to AOSP. CM7 then virtous inq then CM9. Maybe 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6 is better and snapier but had no time to test it. The only thing i like about Sense ROMS is the CAMERA. Better quality! Touch to focus while recording a video! Amazing, but we cant have it all.
I also agree with throcker.
People are always posting up new threads asking for advice on this ROM vs. that ROM. Well, I haven't tried them all, but I've tried quite a few of the more popular ones recently. I'm not going to pick these ROMS apart. If you want more info about what I liked or didn't like about a particular ROM I've tried, go ahead and ask.
I got my Sensation back in January. I used the stock Gingerbread for a couple of months. Then got frustrated when the T-Mobile ICS update got delayed and have been on a flashing frenzy ever since.
I've been trying a lot of ROMs lately. I started with ARHD, then went to Elegancia, then Hypernonsense, then back to Elegancia, then Sense 4 Elegancia, then back to 3.6, then Virtuous Inquisition, then Opensensation (CM9), and back to Elegancia again. I've also tried Sebastion, faux, and bricked kernels - I prefer bricked best.
I honestly don't a see a performance difference between Sense, stripped Sense, or AOSP ROMs. I have System Tuner Pro and always monitor memory usage. I thought that the stripped and AOSP ROMs would have gobs of free memory available, but they just don't. They're no better or worse. I also was compelled to try those ROMs to improve battery life. Again, the experience didn't match the hype.
It all comes down to personal preference. Each ROM has its own glitches. But from my experience, full Sense 3.6 ROMs are the most functional and most stable. I loved the Sense 4.0 ROM I tried, except that Sense crashed on me like 3 times a day having to pull the battery each time. For me, nothing beats the Sense widgets. I live in the email and calendar widgets for work and the music widget in the car. No other widgets come close.
I think I'm gonna quit screwing around with it for a while. I am very happy with the Elegancia Sense 3.6 ROM / Bricked kernal combo. It's pretty much already modded/themed the I way I would do it. I can just flash it and go. I will try the Sense 4.0 version again when it's more mature. I loved it, I just can't have my phone crashing on me constantly.
I still want to try MIUI and will probably try CM9 again when it's official. I really like some of the home screen setups people have been able to pull off with their AOSP ROMs. But I think the widgets will always pull me back to a full Sense ROM. The only widgets that can compete, you have to pay for - and they're still not as good. Also, the AOSP camera blows compared to the Sense camera. In the end, it's all about what's functional for you.
In conclusion, try a few, try a bunch... don't get lost in the hunt for better battery life and more performance, because - 1) those 2 things don't go together... & 2) those 2 things are largely the same across all ROMS whether you're full Sense, stripped-Sense, or AOSP. Just find what you like and enjoy!
SO wutZ da best roms to use?
Just joking, but it's too bad some people are serious.
Its all about your liking that's it otherwise there is not a rom whit better battery life than any others

I've been using Ordroid (Sense4) for a week or so now and I've found it quiet stable to be honest. I haven't experienced any crashes.
The batterylife was in 5.0.X about 17 hours (2 hours of screen turned on).
V6.0.0; I can't say if there are anything wrong just yet since its been out for about 2 days only and I've used it for 1 day. but the first batterycycle was about 21 hours with 2h 5m screen turned on. Only thing I could complain about with Ordroid is the partially working BT, I can't say anything about the Wifi-tethering issue because I am not using it.
Hmm, well I guess that was that.
The partially working Bluetooth issue is across all Sense 4 ROMs. It has to do with the fact that Sense 4 was ported from another device with different BT hardware - so the Sense drivers aren't fully compatible.
With the release of T-Mobile's official RUU, it may be time try Sense 4 again and see if some of the previous issues I experienced are fixed now. But BT will probably always only be partially working due to the driver issue.

Will I get any benefits from switching from the stock ICS to one of these?
Thanks!

I use elegancia ics 4.3 sence 4.0 is good so far it has a few glitches like if you try to take a picture while recording a video, the camera crashes or if you press the camera button to take several pictures at once it crashes! But other than that is good!

Will I get any benefits from switching from the stock ICS to one of these?
Thanks!

Well I've always found that the custom roms out-compete the stock ones repeatedly. You get a much better battery life, minimal bloatware and more power. Use android revolution hd 6+ and you'll see the differences

Yes I agree! I have much better battery life and over all better experience!

I tried Elegancia Sense 4 again last night. I thought it was time to give it another go since there have a few builds released since the last time. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Whatever issues I'm having are buried deeper than what gets changed from build to build.
My phone has crashed on my twice in the last 5 hours. It's unfortunate. I really like Sense 4 - I think it's cleaner & smoother than 3.6. The camera is better and faster than 3.6. But if your phone crashes on you while changing menus or doesn't wake up and you have to pull the battery all the time, then it's useless.
Does anyone else have these issues with Sense 4? Maybe another Sense 4 ROM is better? I have not yet tried another Sense 4 ROM because it seems they all use the same base. Maybe I should try another and see if it works better...
The new InsertCoin ROM Sense 4.0 is out now, looks very stable, only FM Radio not working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546731
I just flashed OrDroid Sense 4. I'll give that one a shot. It has a different base - the new leaked Ville RUU instead of the One S. The Ville and Sensation share the same processor, so maybe that will do the trick.
EDIT: That one's no good for me either. It has its own set of glitches I'm not willing to live with.
Now trying Steve's new TMOUS Elegancia with Bricked kernel.
Any tradeoffs for non Sense ROMs? I know the camera app is better on HTC's but other than that? Is there a Torch app similar to the stock one? Etc..
...and back on Elegancia 3.7.6. lol
I am running the updated TMOUS firmware now, tho. along with the other radio fix for TMOUS users. This might be the best combo I've run yet. But I'm still anxious for a fully functional Sense 4 ROM.

There is another Torch app that is pretty much the same. The ROMs I've tried all have it included if they don't have the HTC app.

Just flash the new one on top. No super wipe required all your data and apps are safe

For me, I love the overclocking of custom roms/kernels. Stock Sensation is 1.2ghz. My custom rom Sensation is 1.7ghz. Man is it speedy. I took the time to read countless posts and spent a ton of time learning how to mod my Sensation. No way am I going back to stock carrier rom.
