Help a new Sensation owner choose a rom :) - HTC Sensation

Hi just got my sensation today to replace my aging Desire
Ive already S-OFF and rooted the handset and installed clockwork mod recovery but have no idea which rom to try. Ideally I want an ICS rom but need one that fully works, the main thing I need is a fully working camera (unlike the ones on the desire) if there is such a rom not too bothered about sense although it is nice, but I quite like the look and feel of ASOP ICS too
I know I need to flash a new firmware on my handset before flashing an ICS rom, failing that what about any GB roms?

ARHD has good ICS and Gingerbread ROM's. Everything works with them.
There's plenty others like RCMix too.

Excellent cheers, just trying to get touch recovery 4ext installed atm, had it on desire no problem but no go atm on the sensation
*Edit* think its installed now

Another couple of questions.
Do I need to do the SuperCID thing?
Ive rooted, installed 4ext and s-off'd and have also just unlocked my phone so can use any simcard.
Next i keep reading about the superwipe script but I cant seem to find it can someone possibly link me to that?
Thanks again
also think im going to try Darkforest 6.0.0

Actually ARHD is not a good example for a "fully working" camera. ARHD with GB uses Faux's Kernel as default that actually has a bug with the camera (freezes the phone if you power off the phone with the camera on). If you want no problems, rock solid performance with your phone, I do recommend a ROM with an official HTC RUU as base (Build 1.73 being the latest official GB), working with a stock Kernel. From which dev, that's up to you....
Personally I do not use ICS yet as it doesn't support all the features I'm using with GB.

Ok thanks for that, will have a look at some GB ones, which do you recommend? Also do I need to do the SuperCID procedure?

If you want stock aosp use Virtuous Inquisition...
If you want sense use Insertcoin
Im currentley running insertcoin and its so smooth

If you haven't already found it, superwipe download is near the bottom of OP of this thread.
I've been using it since day one with no problems.
If you're thinking of going with DarkForest I can highly recommend it, it's what I've been on for a while
SuperCID, read this thread. If you don't SuperCID you just have to make sure any firmware etc you use is specific to your CID (maybe check out this thread), with SuperCID anything for the Sensation will work for you

Android Revolution HD should be your choice, was my choice few months ago and I don't regret. mike will upgrade to 6.5.1 tonight, if you still has not changed your rom this is the moment to do it.

If you would like the best rom, In my opinion it's an Extreme Sensation rom. There are both the sense and no sense flavor's.
Look at my signature it will give you all the information you need ( going to the site below the QR code will also link you to all the resources you need to install it )

There are plenty of Roms for Sensation. I am using ARHD and I did not try others. I am happy with ARHD Rom except that I could not use reverse tethering. Hope will be fixed in future releases.

OMG!!! What have I done, yesterday I rooted and supercid my phone but was having problems after flashing Darkforest, so today after reading the recomendations I thought id try android revolution hd, read the install guide and thought went through the procedure of upgrading the firmware, as i was supercid i downloaded what I believed to be an unlocked 3.32 but when upgrading it I noticed this screen

Wi-fi function will be related to your radio version and possibly the kernel that you are running, so please provide details of both.
Also agree that this Question shouldn't have been posted here in Development Section, but, it is now so rather than double post it, lets try to solve the problem, especially as none of us have the ability to move the thread.

Thanks for you helping me solve this question at first
my desire s has s-offed by xtc clip
1.
CoreDroid ROM => kernel is unavailable(but it should be MDJ's UNITY V1)
the kernel of Virtous Unity is MDJ Unity V1 too
(both of them are original kernel un in ROM)
2.
Radio - 20.28b.30.0805U (because I'm Taiwanese)
(3. RUU is - RUU_Saga_FET_TW_1.31.950.2_R_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.14_M_release_180347)

Yuck! that's looks nasty...But before you start to cry.....can you still enter recovery?
If the answer is yes then try to re-download the kernel file and the attempt to re-flash. Otherwise it might be time to go down the RUU path
Question: what HBOOT version do you now have? as I read that you applied 1.47 at some point.

Hey guys, so recently I've been looking for resources and stuff and I found this rom called LeWa Os. It's similar to MIUI in terms of themes, customization, initial theme when you first flash it, but it's based on CM7 so it has CM features. I took the time to port it to our beloved Sensation and will do my best to fix out the remaining bugs... It's running on Android 2.3 and has awesome eyecandy + fluid performance ...
It's based on the only CM7 build that I can find for the sensation:
Code:
update-cm-7.1.0-SelfKANG1-Sensation-signed
This list shows a little of it's awesomeness, there are too many features to list...
If you press on Statusbur, softkeys will appear
Swipe up to open apps drawer
Miui like toggles in statusbar
*Oh yea* There is a task killer button in the statusbar
*Miui Like* SO many themes to customize
Included power manager app
Stylish slider to accept/reject calls
Smooth ROM!
Did I mention the charging animation!
Datamanager included in statusbar
ICS Transitions
Too many!
Bugs:
IDK, I didn't test this, so if any brave soul could test it I would appreciate that!
Installation:
Taken from the Cyanogenmod forums:
Instructions:
First time flashing CyanogenMod 7 to the HTC Sensation, or coming from another ROM?
Gain S-OFF and install the ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions are available here.
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.
Perform a factory reset.
Flash CyanogenMod.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

NOTICE: THIS IS NOT TESTED YET, PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
Looks very interesting! I'm gonna do a little research on the OS first
if you have fixed some video call problems and audio call when on headphone...........then i will definately use this rom.............(notice that the bugs i mentioned are from cm7)

No I haven't worked on any of the bugs yet... But this is based on alpha 10 so I think they might be fixed: Taken from the CM forums:
The current buglist:
-Recording 1080p video for a couple minutes causes a soft reboot
-Misc Browser crashes (CM bug)
-Zoom issues in Camera
Other than those (relatively) minor bugs, this rom is perfect.

I'll do my best to fix those...
this is based on cm7, so I should install the GB firmware? 3.12...
what about language....are there chinese parts?
and...is this just for 4g sensations? I have an eur version...
Can't wait to get home and flash this. 82mb? Really?

Looks cool to bad you have to down grade firmware. Get this going on cm9 and I'll try it the reason I have my phone rooted is because I wanna use the newest stuff not outdated roms that are dead.

I know and the cm7 thread is dead so this roms base will never be updated.

This ROM is very pleasent surprise...stick with CM7 not with CM9 because there are a lot of various cm9 editions of all flavoirs...what is needed is cm7 base ROMs.
I will give a try...for now, on Hyperdroid cm7...in the future, on Lewa certainly.
What is this roms bugs?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Good to have another Sensation chef in the kitchen!
Well after putting my mind to it, I finished my attempt at porting a CM7 rom to CM9 and now I'm scared to try it :/ (I'm a wimpy chef, I know )
So I think I'll just keep it at CM7 since no one has anymore of those roms anymore and it seems like gingerbread is more stable...
So for those who have ICS now, downgrade:
tragik74 said:
downgrade is very complicated.
root the current ICS and install recovery
Juopunubear S-OFF (require htcdev unlock and root)
downgrade firmware to 1.17
flash GB rom or run GB RUU
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Alright so all of us have ICS, recovery, and s-off, so all we have to do is flash the first firmware in this post (1.17) and flash this ROM...
So on to the bugs. From my first port for the Atrix I had the following:
1. PC didn't detect phone on USB, only can charge from wall...
2. Boot animation, lock screen, and music player aren't scaled...
3. SD manager fcs... (It's a lame version of miui file manager)
1. It shouldn't do that on this ROM, but if it does I'll look into it and see if my friend can help me fix it like he helped on the Atrix...
2. So I'll work on scaling the the boot ani, and lock screen, and I'll just replace the music plaer...
3. Just remove it and replace with the actual miui file manager...

HBOOT-1.17.1111 and ICS

Hi,
I have an HTC Sensation with HBOOT-1.17.1111 (i'am currently S-OFF, Rooted, with CWM installed).
I receive OTA notification for ICS but of course, as i can see i cannot install it (exclamation mark blue robot) due to the fact of S-OFF (as i have understand).
What is the best solution in my case to have ICS on my phone ? Using CWM to flash a custom rom like VIPERS ? Other ?
Many thanks for reply and advise.
best i would say is flash 3.32/3.33 firmware and have custom ics (viperS will blow your mind )
good guide for this process here

If you want to flash stock ROM yourself, find it here. You can chose between Sensation and Sensation XE ROM (will work regardless of your device). Don't forget to flash compatible firmware first.
For me, Wifi was broken with the stock XE ROM. Installing faux kernel 009b4 solved it for me. For the AROMA kernel settings to actually work on stock ROM, you need busybox installed and have to modify the init.post_boot.sh script so it calls busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d unconditionally (stock ROM does not come with init.d support).

so if i understand well, first of all i need to update my firmware version (3.32/3.33) by following :
Step 3. Downloading the firmware package (PG58IMG.zip)
Step 4. Updating the firmware
Step 5. Removing the PG58IMG.zip file from the sd card
(no previous step, due to the fact that i'm S-OFF, ROOTED (no impact), and have CWM).
Right ?
Concerning the update of the firmware, does my current ROM version (Operator ROM , SFR) will continue to work after the firmware upgrade ?
Don't forget to CID your phone, how to can be found here:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

as you have GB rom running when you update the firmware to ICS compatible version you cant boot to your current rom ..so if you want to do any app data backups,msg,call logs backups do it before hand i.e before flashing the firmware ..then flash the firmware ..go to recovery ..do a nand backup if wanted then flash the new rom ..after full wipe
First of all many thx for all your advise.
So i have test yesterday the viperS Rom on a friend phone (HTC Sensation XE), it's a very good ROM with a lot of tweak but comparing to my crurrent Stock ROM on my HTC sensation it's a little bit slower (some lag, Sense 4.0 crash sometime, battery consuming, etc..) but really a good ROM, developper have done a good job at all..
I'am a little bit worried to install it on my HTC Sense for performance reason (i think that Sense 4.0 is the black point).
So, is there an other ROM (close to Stock ROM) ? Is it possible for me on my current HBOOT version (specially with S-OFF and Revolutionnary patch) to put a stock ROM (ICS i mean), or is there a custom ROM which is close to Stock Rom (rooted of course).
Here my HBOOT screen shoot.

1) Super CID my phone (first of all)
2) flash the appropriate 3.33.401.x firmware
3) Install the ROM
4) Root my phone.
Right ?
What will be my HBOOT status after flashing the firmware (i mean S-OFF/S-ON ?) ? I will keep "Revolutionnary" text at the top ?

Honestly, no Idea about "Revolutionary" text -- but S-OFF is not affected by flashing firmware and rom from CWM recovery.
Btw, given ganeshps experience that viper 1.2.1 performs good, I might try it. My reason so far to stick with Sense 3.6 is I read here Sense 4 would be very memory hungry ...

Yep, we have test it with version 1.2.1 (OTA update, 15 Mb) but we still have some trouble with sense.
In any case, this ROM is really really nice (you can change what ever you want on it) but i find it really slow comparing to my current stock ROM.
So, my HTC Sensation is updated to ROM Revoltion HD without any problem.
Many thx to all for help and support :good::good::good::good:

Can someone tell me how to install this? I know zip files - flash from recovery, but these are exe files. After installing this rom, will my s-off newest hboot and 4ext recovery be gone?

I knw this post is seriously old but nobody replied so i thought i would add my bit for anyone else who wondered the same.
The files on that site are ruu exe files yes but if you run the exe and wait for it to extract all the files you then go to your usernames temp folder on c drive and find the temp folder it extracted to and pull the zip file named 'rom' from it.
as for what it would do to your s-off status from flashing a stock rom, i dont know.

Steve, did you succeed in whatever you were planning for your HTC Desire S? I am downloading 2 RUUs right now and I hope to flash my S-ON, Unrooted, Desire S on Android 4.0 back to Android 2.3

Steve, did you succeed in whatever you were planning for your HTC Desire S? I am downloading 2 RUUs right now and I hope to flash my S-ON, Unrooted, Desire S on Android 4.0 back to Android 2.3

yes, my desire is S-OFF, and running a rooted 4.4.4 rom.
Baffled why you would want to go back to 2.3 though, im loving 4.4.4

Android 4.4? Wow. Good to know. About going back to 2.3, its a personal thing. I am not comfortable entering my bank passwords in a custom ROM and the official 4.0 is a burden on the phone. So, I decided to go back to 2.3.
I've never tried the official ice rom although I did get on very well with another ics rom I ran untill jelly bean and kitkat roms became stable. I understand your concerns about security, its for that very same reason that all the banks apps will not install on a rooted device.
I dont use any of that stuff, I leave all that to the wife so, im free to do what I want worrie free lol.
another bonus is that my desire s is not my every day phone (I have a HTC Win phone for that) so nothing personal, no photos that matter, no contacts, nothing is on the device.
I use the desire a bit like a teeny little tablet if you like.
Android is better than win phone in a LOT of respects but win phone is faster and 100% stable all of the time so that gets used as my phone plus it has a physical keyboard and I absolutely hate using on screen keyboards!
once i get to 99% my download cuts off. happens all the time. If this is deliberate then it's wicked. subscribing for data is expensive out here.

You could flash a custom Rom that it is similar to stock Rom so it could have more features on it. So you should try different sense roms.

There's a tutorial on how to downgrade to stock somewhere I don't think you can downgrade by flashing.

[SOLVED AND CLOSED] JB 4.2.2 not networking

Heres the problem
Every 4.1.2 Rom I flash works no problem
Every 4.2.2 Rom does not network in as much as it will not find my Operator (O2 UK) nor any apns and I am unable to enter a APN manually and after a reboot I have to manually search for O2 again
My phone is
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Was going to make a thread, but you already done that, good job.
For anyone out there who could help, I don't have superCID, could this be the problem?
Just to confirm, it seems people with firmware 3.32 have no problem?
Seems someone else having similar problem [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036229&page=771].
Hi,
Just a thought.
Albino updated to 4.2.2 on 0215 version.
Have you tried installing version 0214 or earlier(version 0209 had something different in the firmware department) ,and then,dirty flashing a later 4.2.2 version?
I dirty flashed 0216 over a clean install of 0209.
I have tried all 3 4.2.2 Roms all the same result "no data"
I have tried 3.32 with unlocked bootloader. No joy
I have tried 3.33. No Joy
Getril does nothing
I have super CID 11111111
I have tried dirty flash of albino over jellybam No Joy
some guy on albinoman thread on oO2 has fw that is different to mine and lava and ends M2. He says he got it from O2 as a OTA. I have googled and gooled but cabt find it anywhere

And why is it that Jellybam works brill but not any of the 4.2.2
Hi guys, still no luck.
But I was thinking and came up with a possible cause for this problem. As for as I know that in the UK, O2 is the only operator which shares its service with a bunch of other carriers (e.g. Tesco, GiffGaff)? Therefore requires us to select the correct APN when installing the ROM, I think HTC sense ROMs does this after fresh flash. Anyway, since we need to select APN and it does seem to be working in CM10.1 (can't add new APN settings), could this be the reason why this ROM is getting no signal for us?
I am aware there are still a lot of flaw in this assumption, but it is the best I can come up with. I am just waiting for APN to be fixed to check if this is indeed the problem.
PS: anyone tried SuperXE-Intact-AOSP 4.2.2 ROM? Since it is AOSP maybe APN could be working there. I vaguely remember it wasn't working either when I last flashed it, will test later if no one has already
Hi,
Just as a matter of interest,what recovery are you guys on?

I have tried Super XE and same problem
I cant speak for Lava but I am on 4EXT recovery
I would of thought Tesco and giffgaff share with O2 rather than O2 share with them

Hi,
Have you tried changing the recovery?
Try TWRP ,and see if that helps.
I know you tried everything else,this is just a different approach.
Is TWRP a straight download and install from google play
I still think its the FW that the guy on albinoman thread has on O2 that is different to mine he has 11.69A.3504.00P_11.23.3504.07_M2 but I cant find it anywhere

Hi,
I used KOHR-AH'S 3.33 UNIVERSAL FIRMWARE
Installed TWRP and strangly enough it said there was a update for my rom of cm10.1 19th. The strange thing was I have been on Jelly Bam for last 2 days ??
Flashed a couple of 4.2.1 roms Cm 19feb and superXE 4.2.1 and another one I cant remember and all work absolutly no problem.
Tried Super XE 4.2.2 and no data and clock FC.
My FW 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M. Which is the correct radio but how do I check the 3.33 bit. Going to flash FW 3.33 anyway and try again.
Reflashed FW 3.33 via bootloader screen. No difference. All the 4.2.1 work no problem but none of the 4.2.2 work with data. Just running round in circles now and running out of ideas except for finding that FW 11.69A.3504.00P_11.23.3504.07_M2

Yeah, Tesco and GiffGaff are using O2 to provide their service. I said it because they are using the same hardware, but O2 needs to add in additional ways to detect if someone is their customer or Tesco's customer if that make sense. The additional "check" or "validation" by O2 might conflict with 4.2.x maybe? :laugh:

Hi,
That radio is HERE ,if you want it.
Second post...scroll down.
Don't worry about the "P" "U" thing.
They are just carrier specific letters.

Hi,
I just suggested to duryard that a change of recovery might work.
It did not.
Yeah I just read the rest of the post, thanks for the help :good:
Will try asap and report back
Thanks Malybru. Will give them a try shortly
