One thing I'd love to see here but really never have is an updated "stock" ROM based on the official HTC and/or AT&T ROMs.
What I mean would be a ROM that looks and feels like the stock ROMs in terms of appearance, configuration, and included software, but which uses some enhanced "under the hood" changes -- newer OS builds, possibly updated software versions, and maybe some "bug fix" tweaks, but no new software, no new interfaces, no new icons, no big changes in behavior.
I think would offer two nice things to the community: a solid ROM for users who want something basic and familiar, and a good baseline for comparing different OS builds and the like.
I have zero cooking experience, however, so I think it's a little beyond my current skills -- and I don't even know if there's some big technically infeasible part of this proposal. I would, however, be happy to help coordinate a project if this idea appeals to anybody with a little more knowledge.
Or, if this idea HAS been done and somebody can point me to it, I'd definitely appreciate it.
I have one of those in my Kitchen, I might release it if I ever get all the bugs out.
3.34 HTC WWE ROM with the Latest Official Blackstone ROM ported into it.
In the mean time, why not request it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410975

Take a look a the NATF(Not A Treo Fan)'s ROMS. They are the ATT version with some of the bloatware stripped out. Much better performance. This was the first ROM I ever flashed because I liked how close it was to stock.
look up the user nothrills. all his roms are stock with performance mods; afcourse haven't seen him release anything of late so don't know where he went off to.
I am sure some a gearing up on the ICS roms but over all there just doesnt seem to be a whole lot out there for the phone as far as roms go. I completely respect the work that has been done and am certainly grateful! However...my G2 seemed like it had a new rom out everyday with so many options to choose from. Maybe it just felt that way because it was my first Android phone but honestly I still visit those forums and see new roms coming out. For the Sensation they all seem the same with very minimal tweaks to the device. Are we still waiting on something or is this phone left in the dust with all the new phones(amaze, SGSS2, etc. etc. )? Just wanted a most likely more informed opinion then my own
What more can this phone do it will match any newer phone out. There is only so much u can do on a phone and most roms are at a stable state so there is nothing left to add. We still see a couple roms updated a week which isn't baf.its just slowed because there is nothing else to add all the roms have everything already
sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
I guess it's just me then. I just don't feel like I've found THE rom. Everyone seems to have something missing or just off a little. I just know with my G2 I was able to find a couple that I was more then content with. (I know STFU and go back to your G2 then) I love the Sensation...just looking for that happy medium that I haven't quite found yet I guess.
I think you have to look better. There is still much development going on, many ROMs out there. In the last days there have not been many updates, as there were no new leaks from HTC or from anywhere. But the kernel devs are still developing like hell.
For me my ROM is very stable, I don't miss anything what could be done on ROM-base. So why updates, updates and updates? Never change a winning team
After testing a lot of ROMs, most of them are already quite stable... Don't think there's much to work on. It's a good thing no?

I guess you haven't heard about ics source being out and a rom. being developed right now for it?
I'd say it's pretty far from being dead... There are some pretty good ROM options out there... InsertCoin, Android Revolution HD...which really make the device shine on a whole new level... And something brand new comes along every week or 2...
I guess if you're looking to download a new ROM every day, you might consider it dead...but then again, who'd want to switch ROMs every day? I, for once, am content with the current plateau...it lets me actually USE my phone...rather than keeping it plugged in and flashing/reflashing all the time...
Anyway, stay tuned...
Well, developement isn't dead, but it's booooring as hell compared to what Desire was/is. That's the problem with having current high end phone, there isn't much stuff to port.
It just look boring because most of the roms are the same as in sense 3.5 wich cant be fully theme yet. Almost every rom is stock sense 3.5, thats why i`m still on sense 3.0 because it can be fully customize. Nobody is trying to make their roms look different like on the desire forum and other forums. There can be many sense 3.5 roms but if they all look different than it will look like a lot of developement is going on but because they look the same makes it look like nothing is going on.

There is a rooted stock ROM, there are about 4 Sense 3.5/Android 2.3.7 based ROMs with full Sense UI, there are two direct CM7 ports, there are at least 2 Sense 3.5/Android 2.3.7 with some or all Sense UI components stripped.
I really don't know what you're expecting. We have basically everything you could hope for at this point.
If you don't mind going without Sense, I highly recommend HyperSensation, as I've seen between 14-25hrs of battery life on a single charge depending on usage (14hrs being with constant, heavy usage and long phone calls over 3G).
While ROM development has certainly slowed down, the kernel devs are still releasing betas every couple of days, which in my opinion is more exciting because the kernel side has a more direct effect on speed and battery life.
I'd say just find a stable build and run with it while we wait for ICS stuffs to be released.
By the way, have you checked out the MiUI build that MiUI.us is putting out there? It is by far my favorite rom to use (yes you can theme it to NOT look like an iPhone lol) and it's fast with excellent battery life. The only thing that keeps me from making it my daily is the need for a good camera with full HD recording, which Scott and TD are actively working on. I have two young kids under 2 years old, so I kind of need that stuff haha.
For what it's worth, my daily now is ARHD 3.6.7 with Faux's 0.2.5.5. Excellent stability, speed and battery life so far has been awesome.
Since ICS source is out I doubt any Devs would continue work on Gingerbread based ROMs. The reason Desire has more development is all the Sense 2.5+ ROMs are ports and so require fixing and more development. Since Senny is a stock Sense 3 phone there is nothing that can be added that aint already been done.
Once ICS development gets going we will see more ICS stock ROMS.
ICS will be better on Sensation. +trolface+

While I agree this phone isn't completely dead, you should look at some other phones out there. The vibrant for example or desire have had and still have more and more diversified roms. Most of our sensation roms are just sense over and over again. Anyway just my 2 cents.

All the kernel & themes Development keeps my Sensation busy! Until a new cool rom comes along....

Seems to be related to Sense being more popular on Sensation than other phones, in this case the users here lack interest in CM & AOSP & MIUI. There is some interest but that doesn't make up the majority of the users of Sensation; I find it quite odd since normally MIUI & Vanilla would have more users than the stock UIs(based on my past phone experiences). If people cared more for CM/MIUI/AOSP, then development may be much better, a new MIUI ROM would be made every week by TheDerekJay when I had MT4G, and I miss this kind of updating on my Sensation. Not to say devs here don't update, can't really say the rate of updates is equal IMO.
Ive enjoyed all the development that goes on for sensation. Was this thread posted before actually looking at the dev section??? 2 pages of roms are at least updated every 2 weeks
i have htc Sensation and the development
there r many roms running sense 3.0 / 3.5 but all of them resemble each
and the development for ICS it's slow in Sensation
there r many devices run ICS with working touch screen and every day have update .. last ICS update for ICS before 5 days and i think the rom not a flashable file
I bought the Sensation to replace my Desire, and it's true that I am a bit disappointed after the number of ROM available for Desire ... but Sensation's ROM are very good, I miss a really stable AOSP ROM and it could be perfect!
ROMs have gotten to the point where they are pretty much stable, what more can you ask for?
I think you'll start seeing things as HTC releases more for our devs to customize the ish out of.
I like quick qiz and im debating even installing a rom. I just want to know what everyone thinks is the best of the best right now. Is ice cream sandwhich still coming out soon? I mean I must say the new replacement I got is super clean fast. I like it I really only miss a few things from other but I wondering whats the best of best right now?
Whats some best roms? Fast, oc possible, clean, stable, best wifi, teathering.
Again I may not get a new one I dunno if its worth it the pros and cons are dead even. so any info be great thanks!

And, pick any of the 400 or so posts that already exist about ICS and they will explain if ICS is coming out for the SkyRocket anytime soon.
I hope this helps.
Honestly, I am still using QuikWiz. I have yet to use any of the UCLA based Roms. I hear they are good though. But, I have my phone set up the way I like it and don't really want to change it. Runs smooth and I enjoy it. Only issue is the ics keyboard would crash on occasion, so I replaced it with the Swype keyboard and I could not be happier. I use to be a real Rom whore, but now I am too lazy to take the time to dial a new one in to how I like it.

Get Rc7 Speed Stripped and add what you need only. Also google what you can safely freeze.
But honestly use what u have and wait for ICS custom ROMs to come out for Skyrocket, people are working on it already.

With all the Jellybean Roms popping out for the Infinity, it's a little confusing to choose which ones are going to blend well with ones personality and usage... I'm not sure if this also applies to some, but it would be great if we could get some testimonials from those who have tried the different roms... probably post their pros and cons or maybe certain things and features that are not working with that Rom...
Hope someone could share their experiences here with the roms.. this might enlighten some users who are still contemplating whether to unlock their devices or not

I haven't tried a lot of ROMs for the tf700 yet, but I have noticed EOS' ROMs are basically stock-based, with some tweak to make the performance better and to OC. You can also slightly personalise things (like the statusbar color) or use a CM10 theme.
However, they are usually very stable, which is why I have been using them for months now on my Xoom, and chances are I'll use them on the tf700 as well
If you are really into customisation, you should have a look into most CM10-based ROMs or OAKP.
They really try to get as many features crammed in the ROM as possible!
I myself don't need that customisation and have found that stock based ROMs, with tweaked kernels usually do the trick.
(Maybe a little OC as well, but that's not even a must for me.)
It really depends on what you want.
But since most JB roms are in pretty early stages, I'd recommend to have a look into one of the ROMs you seem to like, read the latest pages of the threads and see if there are many issues or not. Most common issues are also mentionned in the first post of the ROM thread!
Maybe if you really want a daily driver, you should go and use Zeus first, and when the JB are really stable, you can switch to those?
All the JB roms are using the same alpha base... no gps and other bugs/performance issues. If you are looking to run JB I would wait awhile longer.
Trying new custom ROM's is something you have to like. If you really want to have a nice and stable system you probably better
wait for a stable version. But if you want to experience the early stages of what will be coming, installing new ROM's is a lot of fun.
I currently have the CM10 ROM installed compiled by Hiemanshu. Still have issues but i am amazed by the performance of Jelly Bean.
When i bought my TF700 i was kind a dissapointed by the perfomance of ICS but now i have had an insight of Jelly Bean i am totally happy again!
That's exactly why installing custom ROM's is worth the effort.
FWIW my experience is a little different. I tried the EOS and Baked Bean ROMS and like them both, but had an issue with the Portrait bug as one of my companies main apps requires Portrait if I want to use it on a Tablet. Also, even though I don't really need it, it did bother me that there was no GPS, and the wallpaper bug was just annoying. I figured that any issue with bootloader would eventually be fixed so I then did the TF700 version of the 300 build. Could not be happier. None of the bugs I just mentioned, Good performance, and I just installed Lux to address the brightness issue so that is not a problem either.

Did you apply the .30 update to get the TF700 bootloader back?

Might have to give that a shot later now that we can go back to ICS.
Hey guys,
I am currently running (and loving) the Senseless RebelROM Beta that came out back in December. The development thread for it has unfortunately gone AWOL, but the combination of AOSP-theming, Jelly Bean-smoothness, and Sense camera made it my favorite One X ROM to date. The biggest drawback, currently, is that the video camera is still broken - as was common with many of the early Sense Jelly Bean ROMs.
Unfortunately, the developer is incredibly busy, and hasn't had a chance to update the ROM in over a month. In the meantime, I was hoping I could make either an updated ROM or, preferably, a simple flashable ZIP, that would fix the camera issue. I was curious what changes had to be made to other Sense JB ROMs in order to fix the camera? Is this something that could easily be done to an existing ROM, or is it more complicated than that?
I'm actually a software engineer by trade and have been hoping to dip my toes into Android development, so this seemed like a fun and useful project to start with. Any tips would be great!
Would absolutely love for this to get fixed. I'm running ViperXL but if the cam gets fixed I'm definitely switching back to RebelROM.
Well, the good news is, I figured out how to fix the broken camera.
The even better news is, I've posted the fix as a flashable ZIP:
