Opinions on Sense 3.0 roms

Hey guys I have a few questions about the 3.0 sense roms out there.
What are your guys experiences with these roms? Are they stable? Is 3.0 too much for the Inspire? And is it worth it? And if you would recommend a sense 3.0 rom, which one would it be?
Thank you for your answers

I've only tried Virtuous Unity so i cant speak on Kingdom. I think it was pretty stable, not a whole lot of lag except the 3D effect when switching homescreens was a little bit laggy but nothing that would make you notice (i did) but all in all it is great. Try one of them out you'll love it.

I've been on Virtuous Unity since 1.25 was released and haven't had any problems at all. I'm new to android and have only flashed 3 roms on my Inspire but from what I've read VU might be the best Sense 3.O rom for the Inspire. The extras you get like the lockscreen controls and built in task manager are pretty good and I use them often. Also VU 1.26 was just released earlier today which should improve an already great rom. Give it a try for yourself and see how you like it but I think you will love it.

I've used RCMix3D the last few days, and it works flawlessly. The weather sound effects are annoying as hell, but I think you can remove them. I haven't had any lag on that ROM at all.

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm about to root for the first time ever, and I was really looking forward to having the very cool sense 3.0 on my phone. One more question, is general call quality, sms, and gps pretty solid on these roms?

I just rooted a few days ago and instantly flashed the RCMix3D ROM. All of those things are flawless on that one, but there is an audio fix on that thread if you need it. Takes about 10 seconds to flash it.

Cool sounds great, off to read the how-to's I guess lol

Lol almost forgot, is battery good with these roms as well?

Good luck! When I did it, it took me about 4 hours, plus flashing the ROM. I had some issues with flashing first off, but it was only cause I didn't do a full wipe. Make sure you do that if your ROM requires it!

How can I make sure I do a full wipe? Will it ask me?

Put this:

And your ROM on your SD card. Make sure you backup your stuff, or just make a list of your apps, and then when you are done rooting, download ROM Manager. Go to "install ROM from SD card", and there will be an option to browse your SD card for the ROM. Browse to the full wipe zip file first, run it, and THEN flash your ROM. That's what I did, and it worked after the second try. If it gets stuck at all, what I did was remove the battery and hold down the bottom volume rocker while booting, then just use CWM to flash back to a backup or ROM.

Does the Rom you mentioned come with Google navigation? The app with the blue arrow icon.

Yup, sure does. Used it yesterday.

There's a setting to disable the sound effects in weather.

Yes and yes and yes for me. Rock solid.

I've used rcmix and am currently on virtuous unity. Both are awesome, no issues with stability or anything like that and both have been smooth and fast. My battery life when the phone is idle is great, maybe 1% every 90 minutes. When using the device though, battery is used up about the same as stock, maybe a little better.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Which is typically more stable and better on battery life, VU, or RC Mix? I'm using RCMix but VU looks pretty sweet, if not very similar

Also a question concerning radios. When rooting will I need a special radio for these roms? I know nothing about radios, the hack kit mentions the stock att radio as a choice, do I need to download that or is it already on the phone and I just need to boot it up? Or do I even need to mess with the radios? After clockwork, superuser, and rom manager is installed can I just flash this rom or do I need to mess with the radio? I'm worried because it seems the radio is what will brick your phone.

CoreDroid v7 is pretty nice, but Virtuous is probably as good as it gets. Fantastic rom that you should definitely take a look at.

[Q] Rom with the best Camera

As the title says folks.....
Which ROM has the best camera?

i am using LeeDrOiD ROM
i guess it is good and has good camera options
qulity of the pictures is good 2

I tried the Leedroid and thought the camera was good, but it seemed quite laggy...
Using Coredroid at present and browser seems slow.....
Was using Insertcoin which was the best,until I run the latest update and then everything seemed to go wrong.......
Going to try another later.....
Not sure which though

insertcoin !

Personal preferance but I use the beast rom,camera is quick and quality is good, plus I don't like sense

[Q] Your best Sense-less ROM

All,
I have a sensation as well as a galaxy nexus. I love the senseless ARHD on my nexus and would like to get something similar for my sensation.
Anyone tried out a sense-less ROM and love it?
What is it?
Thanks.

Check the developer forum. Virtuous Inquisition is one of the most popular ones.

either that or cyanogen mod, although i prefer it less, still quite good

Those were the two I have been eyeballing already.
Any others worth taking a look at?
Thanks.

I'm really happy with HyperSensation. It's a CM 7 fork and is super stable.

I'd agree with the guys, Virtuous Inquisition would be my first try, although I am current having a test with the Quattro rom, another from the Virtuous guys and seeing its still an alpha its looking good.

Virtuous Inquisition is my favorite senseless ROM ! ;-)
Super stable, no reboots for more than a week, fast and no junkware on it

Virtuous Inquisition is as sweet as IceCreamSandwiches

CM7 running awesome with Baked Sensation Kernel.

In looking at the change log...
I imagine the lockscreen issue when a call comes in can be frustrating.

Not for me...I turned the lockscreen Off! Also, I read others are using 3rd party lockscreen apps to resolve.

Hyper sensation is a great one

Just got a sensation and want to root and rom. Not sure which way to go.

What do you want AOSP, CM9 or Sense 3.6 or 4?
CM9 and AOSP you should go to modaco.com and search for TripNRaveR's Roms.
If you want Sense you should try InsertCoin here on XDA.

I just got mine about three days ago.
Coming from a Galaxy, EVERYTHING about HTC sense makes me sick to my stomach.
Went with the one with most views I saw - AndroidRevolutionHD, and went through the INSANE process of going from stock to ICS.
Now running 1.7GHz, replaced HTC sense with the AOSP themes.
Only bugs I see so far are htc.bg crashing, messaging app getting rather wonky with multiple texts, and the music controls sticking on the lockscreen after Google Music closes. Also no MMS at home for me. No signal, Wifi calling only, but the AOSP app doesnt support that. Boohoo.
So that's my reccomendation.

Why use a Sense Rom and replace it with AOSP theme and launcher??
Flash an AOSP or CM9 Rom if you dont like Sense.
Best ones to find on modaco.com by Trip.

No video camera or bluetooth is a pretty good reason. And honestly, the Sense to AOSP roms aren't noticably slower than straight up AOSP.

Ah o.k. And no MMS, no Signal and only WiFi calling is so much better?
Didn't try this Rom but if it realy have this bugs its not useable i think.
For most people its more important to make calls than use BT or make videos.
But o.k everybody has their own needs.
Did you ever try One of Trips roms?
Dont think so because than you would not say that there is not much difference in speed between Sense with AOSP theme / launcher and pure AOSP.

Thats no AOSP rom. Its a Sense Rom with most Sense parts removed and some AOSP apps included.
But its still a HTC Sense Rom.
Sent from my ICS Sensation powered by TripNRaVeR

Well the only "sense" rom I played with was stock on 2.3 - and in five minutes I knew I hated it.
And actually bluetooth is a must for me. I don't make calls at all, but I use a keyboard and use my phone for writing documents and taking notes.
I'll give Prime a try if these bugs get any more severe. Getting really tired of constantly wiping.

Than a tablet may be the better choice for you.
Biger screen to work with and a Keyboard Dock with Touchpad (Asus Transformer).
Also available with 3G module to make calls.

That's what I said...The only ROM's it doesn't work with is Sense 4.0 because of some missing EGL or some crap that HTC took out when they decided to use Image Sense. It conflicts with the application.

Hurm, I am using InsertCoin RC1 Sense 4 and installed the instagram last nite. I snapped a few photos last nite and uploaded it to my fb.. I only get 1 FC while choosing the profile picture.
Did you flash any camera mod before? Just want to help if can.. Tq

Its actually working perfectly on my sensation with ARHD 6.6.0.

same rom, but now quite working 100%...more like 90% of the time for me.

Over exaggerating how good it works doesn't help the issue. Be honest. If you search the threads you'll see that out the box it doesn't work for hundreds..Look on twitter too...We're not crazy..It's more than hit or miss broski's. It's only Sense 4. I think it's some sort of hack they did tho get around that issue with ImageSense.
Please don't read the beginning out of context

Any word yet on the updates?

From Instagram support center. "The HTC One X is not currently supported, though we do plan on supporting this camera in the future."

Yeah...It's the ImageSense chip for the camera that they can't get to work.

They updated the app but now i can load or take pics but when it comes to editing it freezes and reboots.
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium

The way I get it to work is via reboot each time I want to upload a photo.
P.S. They just rolled out an update.

I'm having the same issue on sense 4.0, any word if the update fixed the issue?

Hey!
Anyone else on the HTC Sensation (XE) that Instagram no longer crops but rather squeezes the picture taken, making the aspect ratio f:ed up.
This started happening to me either in the latest update, or the prior one.
Right now I'm on:
Instagram 1.0.2
Android: 4.0.3
Sense: 3.6
Non rooted
I'm using Instagram's own camera interface. It's here where the problem has started to occur.
It works with the phone's own camera interface, but that makes it way more messy.
I'm not very happy with Instagram's "half ass" release. Every one else releasing cameras for Android can make it work.

Add Volume+ app as not working with Sense 4.0!
Instagram freeze my phone when loading a pic from gallery, yes with Sense 4.0, I wonder if One X users experience these problems...

Same problem for me, freezes reboots, when photo is loading, even can't see what the iOS user's buzz is about
Also on Shnizlon's Sense 4.0
P.S. Read about the update - installed again - nothing changed..

No one is over exaggerating here, it is working without any hiccups on ARHD sense 3.6, maybe sense 4 guys facing issues not sense 3.6 i guess.

Yeah, I saw that v1.0.2 was rolled out with fixes for HTC devices, but phone still reboots when filters load.
I think MIUI.us is finally updating from 2.2.24 to 2.4.6 tomorrow, I might try that ROM & Instagram.
