Need help plz

I have an HTC sensation for tmobile I just recently got it and noticed it was already rooted and it seems to be running great but I'm afraid of flashing another Rom on it all I want to know tho is will I be able to get the ics updated even tho its rooted??

You'll want to flash a modified ICS rom instead of waiting months for a carrier update. You might get OTA updates if you're stock rom + rooted, but if it's a custom rom, you won't.
Seriously though, don't wait for your carrier to update your phone, they'll add their **** to it and ruin it.

Yeah I'm just gonna wait for a good stable ics Rom then flash it I never like waiting is there any u recomend?

ARHD 3.6.13 is a Gingerbread ROM compared to 6.0 which is an ICS ROM.

ICS Senseless ROM
I really love the Virtuous Inquisition ROM. It is an ICS based ROM without Sense and has the appearance and features of pure ICS.
You can find it here.
It is very stable and has great battery life.

Optimus to sensation

Hi all in sensation.....
I have just bought new HTC sensation over my LG optimus one...just over excited about receiving
Tell me some good and worse thing about it...also about rooting ,best Rom and all.....
I just found some links by searching but the original user experience review can only given by a daily user tell me some....

The good: POWER!
The bad: Battery life.
ROMs: there are many good ones. Personally I use Insert Coin because it comes with extras out of the box. OpenSensation has improved a LOT. There is a great tutorial for SOff Root Recovery etc. Read it and follow it carefully, you won't have problems.

Thank you guys for saying that warning....
did u try
MIUI
cyanogenmod 7.2 .?
Is there a development going for cyanogenmod 9.0.?

I switched from a optimus t(p 509, same thing essentially)
The while process is slightly different, but more work involved. I was running iridium vanilla for a while on optimus, then mik's cm 7.1, then since January the cm nightlies.
Now I'm running virtuous inquisition with faux's kernel (had Sebastianfm's one, but testing this one). It's so far the best aosp hybrid, sense-less

Cm9 is being worked on by kmobs, vorbeth is doing his own with collaboration with cm team. Since ics just came to the sensation, cm9 is starting up, keep your eye out for when the nightlies begin.

Optimus is going into rc1 for cyanogenmod 9,I just miss it.........
What about MIUI any one tried.?

OpenSensation is basically CM9 under a different name. What is on CM9 github its the same as what is on OpenSensation GH.
Everything works

My first Android phone was the optimus one. It has the best battery life IMHO...
On the sensation>>
Good: Development support, Screen, Speed, hardware design.
Bad: terrible battery life! I mean really bad. stock battery can only last me 4 hours on heavy usage. And low speaker volume.
Roms and Kernels: I'm using ARHD now, stable. Best kernel is Bricked and faux.
Upgrade to ICS if you haven't already. ICS made my phone fly.
If you have the money, buy some bigger capacity aftermarket battery like from Anker. The stock HTC battery ia dork

MIUI is good, but I find it a little buggy (I only tried the first official rom though).

Yes. 4EXT touch recovery is now the standard recovery for ICS roms. Works very good.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA

If you prefer AOSP over Sense, then OpenSensations build of CM9 is daily driver material. If you prefer Sense, Sense-O-Matic allows you to choose what parts of sense you install right in the ROM installation in recovery. Both are great. I go between them when I feel like switching the look and feel of the phone. Also, use and get used to 4EXT Recovery. There is a controller app for the recovery in the market and is totally worth the 2 or 3 bucks it cost. Hope all this helps. I just got my sensation about a month ago. Came over from a G2X and couldn't be more pleased.

Yes. There are add-ons for non XE ROMs. You can also get Beats by flashing an XE ROM on your Sensation (you will need SuperCid though)
I'm writing this from a normal Sensation with an XE ROM (in my case Insert Coin)

Well it is a great phone, feels great in the hand , screen is quite good , speaker is good camera is great if you'd ask me what i really dislike sometimes i get signal drop like whit my old device at school i could get full signal now i barely get 1-2 bars...
Battery life is not the best but gets the job done ... I like it also because there is alot of developement for this device ! I wish front camera was better quality but meh i don't use it that much ...

New To Sensation Development So...

Hey guys I just picked myself up a Sensation 4G (Not new to Android Dev.) so I was thinking about creating,my own custom rom but wasn't sure what the Sensation guys like in their roms. I came from the Huawei u8150 were getting CM9 to run without a gpu was a move from the lord. So far I have tried Stock, Insert Coin, and Android Revolution roms all were great but I like a little cyanogenmod in my life. Would you guys like a new CM9 build crossed with a few tweaks of mean and fixes I find. Is so vote for it. Also reply with what you, look for in a rom.

C'Mon Guys I need feedback
At least vote, i would prefer comments but 1 peanut is better than no peanuts

I will start the rom today and if all goes well, I can have an early release out by Saturday. At first it will probably be stock cm9 with a few tweaks but then I will see what I can do about theming.

A CM9 ROM will be awesome. Are you going to try to get it working by yourself? You could get together with the open sensation project guys and make more progress that way. Just a thought
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

Welcome to the Sensation boards, and thanks for asking for input. I'm not a sense hater by any means, but I ALWAYS go back to AOSP roms. CM9 and Open Sensation are compiled nicely, but for some reason make my phone heat.
So, any build compiled from source would be welcomed. Each phone is different, hopefully your build keeps mah phone cool.

AOSP ROM with a Sense Camera would be loved by many, I am sure.

Yea I thought about speaking to them about it but I figured since I am newer to the phone I could try to mess with it a little myself before I go messing with other peoples work.

There seems to be a good number of sense roms and cm9 roms out there... why not try something kinda out there?
like a port of an xperia rom (I think Xperia S has the same chipset) or samsung's? (I know there's an xperia-ish rom out there but i think it's just aokp with xperia mods and I think that Sony's UIX is pretty good and not bloaty).
just thinking out there... porting something like that might be too much.

i have already begun working on rom but i'll keep it in mind. thanks for the idea

Cyanide X
Hi, your ROM "Cyanide X" is running on my HTC Sensation since the "beggining". Very good work, smooth an stabil. Im testing all possibilities, will let you know in short

Those 4 are your best non sense options.
You can also run ARHD and strip sense out of the UI. It's still a sense rom at it's core though.

just flash CM9 and strip it yourself(make a nandroid backup before doing so). using Titanium Backup, make a backup of the app that youre wanting to uninstall first, then get rid of it. keep going down the list until you are satisfied with what you have. if you come across any errors with anything, just restore the app/ROM and continue down the list. hope this helps, I do this quite often

Senseless Rom
Go to sense-O-maniac website. He has ICS senseless rom there with firmware and radio. I have the sense 4 rom and working great.

Its basically CM9 with a few coding differences. For all intents and purposes though its cm9.
Opensensation was the project to get cm9 development for the sensation kicked off originally
Sent from a rebel ship by storing the message in an R2 unit. (Help me, XDA. You're my only hope)

Apart from the ones you mentioned (which are fast, barebones and senseless) you may try AOKP. HyperSensation or HyperNonSense are best because of their super small ROM size and excellent performance.
If you got bored with No Sense ROM's (like me Stock Sense > No Sense > Sense ) you can try ViperS 1.0.1 ROM.

Try Eyecandy AOKP rom. I heard that its fast and quite stable

just rooted and S-off, wich ROM.... ?

I just rooted my Sensation XE and got it S-off. :victory:
Installed Rom Manager and Titanium backup (backed-up everything).
Now i don't know wich Rom i would use....there are so many...
I want it to be stable, i use Go Launcher instead of Sense because Sense had the ennoying problem it was closing to free memory when i was using a load of memory. In Go Launcher i can select it to remain always open.
I would like a stable ROM wich keeps camera, bluetooth etc....all working without problems.
In addition of this question i would like to know if i can just remove Sense true titanium backup from my phone without problems? (on stock rom or other ROM ? )
I hope i put this thread in the right section 'cos i'm not used to using this forum yet
Thanks in advance for every reply :good:

You should seriously try Virtuous Inquisition very fast and stable. It's running Android ICS. But I don't know if you installed the required firmware. If not, do so.
Oh, and it's an AOSP Rom and it's senseless. Everything works fine.

Were can i find that rom and info about the requierd firmware ?

You can find the required firmware specs on the developers site of each Rom. I highly suggest trying out SEVERAL roms and see which one fits you the best. I'm using lightening Rom now.its brand new sense 4 and is fast and smooth! I think you would like it! No problems with it. But see its all a matter of personal taste . So do yourself a favor and try out SEVERAL! Have fun and happy flashing

In my opinion Android Revolution HD us the best rom I tryed, Mike does not use portings to ensure maximum stability and speeds... It comes with sense 3.6 bit on the thread he provides a script to completely remove HTC Sense...
It has a completely stock look... It's just optimized and updated.

What are you all retarded ?!?!?!? You gotta go aosp!!!! CM9 is the best choice only retards and crackheads like sense overlay (all offense) lol

I must say that on factory ROM i was using Go Launcher because Sense got closed sometimes when I was using many RAM. Reloading Sense always took a bit of time wich I found annoying. The downside of using go launcher was the loss of the HTC widgets... Go contacts wasn't so good in my opinion. In my current ROM Sense didn't close once so for me it's perfect. It looks very beautiful and it's faster than ever before.
