This is mainly for the people who've made the jump from GB to any current ICS rom, biggest question is: was it worth it?
I've read up on all the steps and understand the firmware changing, but am still very hesitant to make the change. Some of my largest concerns:
1. after changing to the new firmware do I also need to change my radio and/or ril's to match a specific rom?
2. do the benefits of ICS outweigh the bugs and drawbacks?
For me, my priorities are having good picture quality, a working video camera, working wifi, and above all else having GOOD and QUICK gps lock.
Would any of the ICS roms be better or worse for me to try given my listed priorities?
My final question, I currently have 1.17 hboot, if I flash the new firmware and decide I want to go back to GB is it a simple process to just re-flash 1.17?

1. Radio is in the new firmware, RIL is in ICS ROMs already.
2. Yes, with latest builds there are virtually no bugs and they are fast and stable for daily drivers
If you want to flash back to GB you will just have to reflash firmware for GB

1- the radio is included in the firmware.
2- Yes. I haven't encountered many bugs or any drawbacks.
3- Yes, you just have to flash the old firmware and and GB ROM
The switch to ICS is worth it.
Better performance, better battery life, better appearance.
I haven't run into serious bugs.
OP, at this stage I'm going to wait for the official release, it shouldn't be far away now.

I have no clue why there are even GB ROMs still even out there. ICS is working flawlessly and it's better than GB in pretty much every way. Mindboggling how people still use them.
Better battery life is the biggest plus IMO.

THIS!
IMHO there is absolutely no comparison between ICS and GB.It's like day and night.
You're all pretty convincing, maybe I'll actually try it out tonight. Have any of you gone back to GB after being on ICS? From all I've read it doesn't seem too complicated, just flash 1.17 back and I'm back to where I started, right?
EDIT:
I know two of you already told me the radio is included in the new firmware, but why does ARHD have links to both the firmware and the radio? I'm confused?

What version of ICS are you running?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I would never go back to GB after having ICS (rmk40) with the latest firmware for 3 weeks!
Are you on Inquisition? No issues and all working?
I'm in the process of updating to Virtuous Inq. but I already have a question. The firmware I downloaded from Virtuous site but it says it's 1.23 in bootloader, is this the older firmware? Should I have used a different firmware?
its worth it simply from a battery life and GUI acceleration standpoint
from a speed standpoint, the biggest thing you can do is getting rid of Sense
Well, so far things are not going all that smoothly. I managed to get new firmware installed and installed virtuous inq but titanium backup is not being allowed root access. Any ideas??

Clear superuser data and titanium data.
Open super user.and.make sure you have the latest binary installed.
For good measure restart phone.

Ok, so I understand the process of flashing the firmware and installing a new ics rom.
What I don't get is how to go back to a GB rom, I am going to flash the 3.24 firmware so once I wanna go back what are the exact steps to use?
Flash old 1.17 firmware, go to recovery, use superwipe, then restore nandroid back up or what? Just wanna make sure do I don't brick my phone going back to GB, just in case I don't like the new ICS roms lol.
Thanks for any help!

guys im thinking of finally updating to gingerbread because some apps are requiring that os .... my questions are :
if im rooted can i still just press the update button from the notification menu?
2. should i be doing that ? a lot of posts online complain about this update so is it worth it? could i be better off flashing a gingerbread based custom rom from this website?
3. is there a backup process to make sure i can go back to froyo if the need arises?
thanks

If you are rooted you should not update the phone using the button. I don't think it will work anyways. If you want stock gingerbread there are plenty on here. In my sig, Juicy has a stable, fast, yet great on battery 2.52 Gingerbread with sense 2.5. It is version R2. There are more advanced sense 3.0 and 3.5 ROMs out there too. Both highly modified and looking like a stock ROM.
okay ... so i will just keep ignoring that button i guess...

The update worked well for me and found no bugs when I did it, but It all depends on what you do with your cell. Custom Roms are all beta versions, that means that they all have bugs but most are very smooth and stable and have many tweaks to play with that you won´t find out in the stock gb update.
If you run the update, you will loose the root access, so you will have to run the hack kit again. You can also flash the rooted version of that RUU that is in the general section under the thread Stock Roms...is the Gene Pole's one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385016
Make a nandroid backup with the Rom Manager or 4EXT recovery (the one you are using) and in case you don't like the update go can restore it...hope it helps.

What I actually meant is that are not offical and bugs are solved on the run as reported by users...I have been using most of the roms in the forum and are awesome...I won´t go back to stock again again, but you have to know what you are doing and what to expect...

Actually yes. All roms posted here are considered beta. This is due to the face that every custom rom changes some coding in the OS or kernel. Only non beta roms are stock roms.
Sorry, my understanding of a beta version is one that is still undergoing testing prior to the official release. Since these ROMs will never see an official release, I don't consider the ones made off of an official RUU as beta. Just my opinion.
Ok, last week i upgraded to AOSPX (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460820) following the guide on the post.
The bugs a little more than I can handle so i'm wanting to go back.
I found this guide for a modified stock rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982963) that says it requires S-off and Radio S-off.
I followed the how tos on S-off and both of them sent me to tools that said "will not work on phones that shipped with android 2.3" which is the case I'm in.
How would I go through the process of going back to a stock-ish rom on a phone that shipped with GB?
Hm maybe find a new stock-ish ROM. When I had CM7 I downgraded to the stock ROM but I got stuck in a boot loop. I wouldn't try installing your ROM and risk bricking but I would recommend a new stockish ROM. What features are you looking for?

Hey guys!
I'm coming from the T-Mobile LG G2X, and I'm wondering about some things.
In terms of contrast, which phone is better? The Sensation, or the G2X..
(I heard there is 2 different panel, the AUO and the SHARP) Which one is better? Which one have better contrast, and better color?
This processor is a S3, is this S3 similar to the Amaze S3, but the sensation is downclocked which can be OC using a custom kernel.. Am I correct?
Is Qualcomm Snapdragon more open source than Nvidia Tegra 2? One of the reason I'm jumping to the sensation is the Tegra 2 is pretty CLOSED SOURCE.
Edit: How much free ram on ICS do you guys have?
Edit2: I'm getting headaches just by reading how to get S-OFF, CWM, Etc... Anyone wanna simplify it for me?
How to get CWM on it, than install custom ROM (ICS), and than install a custom kernel.... Can I install CWM w/o S-Off?
Sorry for many questions...
Say I use the HTC Dev unlock..
Can I flash custom rom, custom kernels? Because that is pretty much all I need.
If I use the revolution S-Off, what advantage does that provide? I also saw HBoot 1.27 can not use Recolution S-Off...
Expiation will be great.
Thanks!

well, it all depends on what hboot your device has. if it is from 1.17 - 1.18 i think you can use revolutionary s-off. which aside from the usual htc dev unlock gives you full write access to the nand, so you can flash kernals, remove sim lock, gain supercid ect. if you have a higher hboot you can unlock using htc dev and then use jupuntubear to s-off afterwards. htcdev = you can do recoverys and some roms, depending if they have the same baseband as you. s-off can unlock everything so you can flash what you like.
one you are s-off you can flash a recovery using the pg58img.zip to hboot method or by using the control app for 4ext. once thats install flash the superuser zip and your rooted and ready to go. as for specs in not too sure

welcome to the sensation forum it's very good choice u made by switching sensation its a very cool device...
for being new to sensation i suppose u need to read here
then here
then download any room and flash u will be pro if u didnt get ics ota update yet
if u get it u should do htc dev unlock and jaubuntu bear method to do s-off
good luck
Thanks guys!
I'm not on sensation yet, but I'm thinking of getting one in 2 weeks.
Say I use HTC Dev, than I can ONLY flash kernel and Rom with the same RUU Version or w.e right? Say I'm on a ICS RUU, I can't flash a GB.. Correct?
If I get Revolution S-Off or the Bear S-Off, I can flash anything I want.
One question, I can't seem to find is, what is SUPERCID?
SuperCID means you can flash any variant of the stock ROM. It's pretty irrelevant in my eyes.
Ahhh. Useless for me...
So if I use HTC Dev, I can only flash the rom with the SAME Rom version, and kernel version... Eg: Stock kernel with modified stock kernel, stock rom with modified speedy rom.
If I use S-Off the beer way, I can flash anything I want, right?
How hard is this phone to brick on a scale of /10?
If you can choose between the two, go with revolutionary, HTC dev will void your warranty and then afterwards you have to do junoptobear to get the same benefits that you get from revolutionary. Also Id reccomend 4ext recovery.
Also supercid is relevant because there are devs here from all over the place and it will be less worrisome if you just supercid, it only takes two command lines
Sent from my sensational sensation 4g
After reading a few posts "bricking" is fairly easy to do. So be careful and read everything carefully..do not do the HTC Dev unlock..I have read a lot of people having problems that way us the revolutionary method. that is what I used.
I basically followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
and upon reading everything about a hundred times and asking a few questions...I managed to get s-off, CWM and root!
Hope this helps...I stayed with a GB ROM not an ICS some people have been having problems because you have to flash a new ICS Firmare and there is risk of bricking with that as well.
I suggest using ENERGY GB ROM 3.5 I love it and it has a better camera in it..i think it is the amaze camera driver.
I'm coming from the T-Mobile LG G2X, and I'm wondering about some things.
In terms of contrast, which phone is better? The Sensation, or the G2X..
(I heard there is 2 different panel, the AUO and the SHARP) Which one is better? Which one have better contrast, and better color?
Yes but they both have same contrast and res just different manufacturer and a batch of one of them got dust.
This processor is a S3, is this S3 similar to the Amaze S3, but the sensation is downclocked which can be OC using a custom kernel.. Am I correct?
Yes the only difference is the clock speed I believe.
Is Qualcomm Snapdragon more open source than Nvidia Tegra 2? One of the reason I'm jumping to the sensation is the Tegra 2 is pretty CLOSED SOURCE.
Well theyve released drivers and gls for ics but I don't know how it is on the g2x.
Edit: How much free ram on ICS do you guys have?
Depends if its sense or asop, or are you talking about stock?
Edit2: I'm getting headaches just by reading how to get S-OFF, CWM, Etc... Anyone wanna simplify it for me?

There are plenty of helpful guides on here some of them already linked to in this thread.

S-off=All partitions have read write permissions
HTC Dev=Only System partition, boot partition, and recovery partition have read write permissions. Plus you have to use 4EXT Recovery and enable smart flash, or flash the boot.img manually of the ROM you want to use to flash the kernel.
Super CID=You no longer have your carriers ID on your device so you can flash a ROM with any carrier Id on it, it does not have to have your carrier ID.
SuperCID, so say It's TMOUSA, I can flash a rom from TMOEU?
And....
So with S-OFF, I can switch between GB and ICS, and any kernel I want..
With S-ON, I can only flash certain roms, and certain kernel...
Man, anyone know where I can get a HBOOT < 1.18?
Edit: Say I'm on GB right now, and I want ICS, but I have S-Off.. Do I still need to flash the ICS firmware 3.2 to use ARHD?
HTC makes it so confusing compared to Samsung and LG Devices.. X_X
Thanks guys! I really appreciate you guys helping me.
I made the same transition and much prefer my Sensation. While the G2X devs are certainly talented, Nvidia's driver policies got in the way of decent ICS roms. Qualcomm, while not as good as TI or Samsung, still does a much better job of releasing drivers and sources relevant to development than Nvidia. As for bricking, it is easier to brick than the G2X, but generally only in select instances, such as when trying to go back in s-on or formatting your sd card in an aosp rom (now fixed). The G2X screen is probably a little higher quality but the extra screen resolution on the Sensation makes it better in my opinion. Overall, what I prefer most about the Sensation is that the dev support is fantastic, second only to my HD2. (Nothing will ever beat that though.)

And if I'm on GB with CWM S-Off, do I have to install the 3.32 base to install ICS Custom roms?

Mainly just for warranty or if you want to sell.
And yes but flashing a firmware isn't had you just put it on the sd card, go into bootloader and let it flash, take fw file off sd card after finished then flash an ics Rom I know you're used to cwm but 4ext is the standard for a large amount of roms and mods here, if you install with cwm it will usually work but you'll be missing out on some stuff. If it helps, 4ext is based off cwm. Sorry if it seems like in trying to shove 4ext down your throat....
I thought modifying this phone was going to be really challenging compared to my old LG but once I had it in my hands I was running ordroid in less than 2 hours

Alright, one last question. How often do you have to flash a firmware to flash a custom rom? (Do you have to flash the firmware even with S-Off?)
I see people say flashing other rom makes them stuck on boot screen? Something aobut firmware...
Compared to my LG G2X, this is like making me jump through hoops..
Any btw, <1.18HBoot is GB, and 1.27HBoot is ICS mostly for ppl that did the ICS update, right?
Just want to sort out everything before I buy this phone..
If you want an ICS ROM, then you'll need the ICS firmware, it's pretty simple really.

Just once. After you get your 1.27HBoot (I assume we are talking about ICS upgrades and ROMs here, right?) then you should proceed to flash the 3.32 firmware (there are excellent threads with a metric ton of instructions on how to do this) - after that point the ICS world is yours (at least that's how it went for me: I used the noob-proof tool from the stickied thread in Android Development section, then went to determine which firmware I need, flashed it, flashed 4ext and now I enjoy the latest and greatest both in stock Android and in HTC specific (i.e. Sense 4.0, kudos to OrDroid)
Honestly, it's kinda of a shock when you go through it initially but the stickied threads are very good, the one-click tool is effin amazin and after you go through the "zomfg I void me warranty me wants me mommy" stage then you are good to go - plus if you really don't like anything you get, you can just flash in the original ROM, right?

You can get s-off with the juopunutbear method. Which now does not need the htc dev-off, so htc does not know you are tinkering with your phone.
Returning your phone completely to stock can be done, but from what i've read it can be tricky as you must become S-ON again. (however, there is a unbrickable team here).
There is a way to flash with S-ON but it requires HTC DEV unlock, and for you to manually flash the boot.img, and keep the stock kernel. A noob myself i went for the whole S-OFF, lets bring it on experience.
From what I read on a local forum in my country, Ordroid gives you the sense 4 experience. And the developer regularly updates his / her rom.
Then again there is sense 4 from Baadnewz (insertcoin) and many more. A popular sense 3.6 rom is ARHD.
You can flash different kernels to increase your battery life.
As for the vanilla ICS, you can either go for CM9 (respect to Vorbeth) or the AOKP. The latter is based on the cm9 nightlies (i believe). I run such a rom. I love the vanilla looks and the added tweaks.
However, I believe recent nighlies have worse battery life. And there is an audio routing issue. For full reliability you might consisder those sense.
what's vanilla and aokp?
Please help?
