Don't see a whole lot of rant in that post, but anyway. I feel that your view on whether to go CM or MIUI is spot on. I understand that people have a preference, but when I have seen and tried devices with both I end up with largely the same experience. Taste is all it comes down to!

i am very thankful for Cyanogen Mod. Never tried MIUI

can send mms with cyanogenmod?

I liked CM7, very fast and lots of memory
the only thing was I couldn't synchronize my contacts with FB profiles pics like in HTC sense

Herold,
I need you to work on your writing a bit more before you submit a piece to be critiqued. Proper apostrophe placement is not only a pet peeve of mine, but a clear indication of someone who refused to pay a very small amount of attention in English class.

I'm glad that there are so many developers interested in porting CM to various devices. It's the only thing that makes using a non-Google phone/tablet usable for me. I can't wait for stable CM9.

I love CM, the ability for themes is awesome. I currently use the ICS theme and it doesn't even look close to stock Gingerbread. And it is the most stable ROM that I've experienced, too.

Nice post, I never tried AOSP or MIUI and just recently got into using CM roms. Gave me more information on the new roms I've been seeing. I would agree you don't rant too much nor go into too much detail as the pros or cons of each variation of the mods.

I had CM7 with my Desire Z,
now with Sensation, I'm currently tryin InsertCoin 4.0.X
Can't really deside, both have their ways

I am hoping that they port over CM7 or CM9 to the sensation xl. Im currently running the bindroid rom which is good but really holding out for cyanogenMod.

I hope so too. I'm planning to buy the Sensation XL. But won't do unless i make sure there will be CM7 or 9 Port

i tried CM and MIUI and i prefer MIUI absolutely!

In my opinion, I think that CyanogenMod will surpass stock Android when it comes to features and stability, eventually.

It probably already has... when you consider that its on yaffs2 and not ext4

Stability?
I have been using CM7 ever since I got tired of rooted stock. The first version I installed was 7.0.0, which lasted about 4 months until it started wigging out. I flashed 7.0.3, and that was great until three weeks later it started exhibiting the same problems as the previous version. I reflashed the same version and had a little more success, lasting without error until 7.1.0 Stable was released. Since October, I've had to reflash at LEAST 5 times, due to instability. Now don't get me wrong, when CM7 works it REALLY works well. When it doesn't...my phone is worthless until I reflash. I would LOVE to know why everything starts force closing after x amount of time, as I'm really getting tired of setting things up the way I want them each and every time. *steps down from soap box*

i loved CM7 on my N1

Good too read a review about something which isn't commercially developed.

anyone still on cm7, waiting for cm9? passing on all current ICS roms

anyone still on cm7, passing on all current ICS roms, and waiting for CM9?
I've been using CM7 since it came out. I flashed virt. quatto just to see what ICS looks like, then went back to CM7.
post here if you are like me!

ive been waiting for a stable CM7 on the sensation for over a year now... CM7 alpha10 is pretty close but still not a daily driver.. i dont see a stable CM9 on our phones within the next year.. there are some good AOSP ICS roms though like Virtuous Inquisition which will have to do for now. ever since Samsung hired Cyanogen, you pretty much need a Samsung phone (Galaxy Nexus) for good CM support
the only reason i am using a Sensation right now is because it is the only high end phone (dual core) that supports my $5/mo tzones plan, else I would probably have a Galaxy S2 or the Nexus right now since i much prefer CyanogenMod

I'm in same situation
several past phones (Desire GSM, Atrix 4G) and current Pyramid are on CM7.1
I use Automatic Backlight feature, it's absent in other ROMs, I like Dialer and Contacts in CM.
Tried multiple ICS ROMs but I am unable to use them. Cannot remove contact's pictures from contact list (I don't use concact pictures at all), no adjustable automatic backlight, Volume rocker Wake and so on.
I do not use Google Account at all, all programs I install manually after flashing ROM. No market app, no Gmail, no GTalk. No Sence.
CM is the best for me

I have many phones flashed to CM7.1 and tried the alpha 10 for sensation too. But there are many lacks (e.g. reboot when recording video, battery after 10 hours down to 20%) so I went back and waiting for CM9.

This is my own opinion, I don't believe well even get an alpha build of any kind from kmobs at this point of development even in the next year or two years. I asked him about it an he said he was compiling it at that time.
It tells me a lot by that response from him. That he is a perfectionist that want to do everything by himself an I'm pretty sure that he's gotten help by cm team. And that since he got a GN and amaze he may be too busy to focus on sensation. He said he isn't working on those two but I mean if you had to pick between those two and sensation I might pick them.
The best way to get fixes is by yes providing him log cats towards certain issues but at the same time having the source helps so it can pinpoint the source of the issue in the build.
Many devices have already been merged and I think one or two were made after the sensation was released. Whether its fair or not he has the most updated source for pyramid and we as the people only have nothing but watch and wait

and we will be slowly insane cause nothing happens. But I've read a few days ago in a post, there are two developers?

I'm still on CM7 and it's not looking good for CM9:

I know we're not paying him or anything, but why can't he at least give us an update instead of these "mystery" posts?

WOW dude no google account? That sucks because if you had one you could easily edit or delete your contact info by signing into google from your computer. You do know that android is google right? I think you would be much happier with a flip phone.

I agree. Kmobs is still a kid afterall. Hes in school and needs to focus on college if you ask me. He bought a GN for $500.00 out of pocket despite telling us how great his sensation was running his build of ICS. Even though it is his money, its pretty irresponsible for a college student to do. Needing a new phone is one thing, but wanting something newer to play with is another.
I dont think it will take a year to get CM9 to the sensation, as I feel Kmobs will eventually turn over what he has done to someone else on the CM team and they will finish it for us. All his G+ posts seem to focus on the fun he is having with his GN.
Yea its free, but it would be nice of him to turn over what he has to another respected developer in the spirit of open source and all...If he hasnt got the time for CM9, then maybe someone else does. Keep in mind, CM is thinking about starting a for profit marketplace. It would be good business to get CM9 out for the maximum number of phones if they want the maximum number of customers. The sensation might not be all that popular though...
Maybe someone from the CM team could speak to him about turning over the project?

after today I don't think I will go back to cm7 again. I have been running vi all this month and currently on v3.0.0 and it will do until something better comes out.
yes, I do believe knob abandoned our phone and do not expect any release from him. January is almost over and we are left in the dark. The promise I made to myself is never to get a non nexus phone again. I will just wait a little bit to see if they release the 32gig GSM version.

Just switch to an ICS rom in the meanwhile. I reccomend Virtuous Quadratto.

Off Topic. Thread title is "anyone still on cm7, waiting for cm9? passing on all current ICS roms"

I could personally care less about CM9. I am running CM7 now and it works fine. I considered flashing an ICS ROM but they all suck right now. Personally if there was a pure vanilla Android ROM (Gingerbread or ICS) I would run that. If CM9 is the closest I will get to AOSP ICS then I guess I will use that whenever (if??) a stable release ever comes out for the Sensation. To be honest I might even be using a Nexus by that time since development for the Sensation is basically dead.

I counted seven flavours of Sensation ICS ROMs discussed and most are available somewhere online. Only the kmobs 'official' CM9 seems to be lost this year.
On Rootzwiki I asked if the following list was up to date. Here it is. Some exist and some are not, but all are Sensation-specific ROMs in development or possible development.
Will we get up to TEN 'unique' Sensation ROMs soon?
1. TripNRaver already has released three betas of his AOSP ROM for Sensation, over at Modaco.
2. HTC Leaked ICS ROM. Lots of tuning and updates of the major 'brands' of Sensation ROMs at XDA Sensation Developers forum, for 4.03 ICS and Sense 4.0 leak.
3. Virtuous Quattro (AOSP) ported to Sensation at XDA Developers forum.
4. MIUI developer petitioned to release a Sensation ICS MIUI (250+ votes for it). 新年快樂 !
5. TripNRaVer previously mentioned he could do an ICS MIUI port once the CM9 Sensation ROM was working.
6. TripNRaVer yesterday released his own CM9 beta ROM for Sensation.
7. Cyanogenmod 9 team (Keyan Mobli aka kmobs, others?) may be still developing the CM9 ROM, unless there has been any announcement otherwise. No recent news in 2012, though.
8. ? Anyone have another ROM for Sensation that's not a variant of or based on one of the above?
9. ?
10. ?

TripNRaver released a beta CM9 over at MoDaCo, fyi.

There are only four "distinct" ICS ROMs available. Trips CM9 leak, the two Virtuous builds, and MAYBE Android Revolution. Everything else is just a themed version of one of the above.

yup still waiting. most ics AOSP roms arent fully stable.

Cyanogen or Sense???

I'm as cyanogen junky. Sense rom's are to heavy for me. To much going on and a lot of functions I don't use that just take up space.
If you like to personalize your rom's with customizations like I do cyanogen is the way to go.
Plus they just released a 7.2 and possibly a v9 soon.

CM all day. When I rooted almost a year ago I flashed CM7 and haven't gone back to sense at all since then. I like the look of sense, but it's too much bloat. I like sense more than touchwiz or motoblur, but I wouldn't use any of them over stock android.

First HTC, it has only had Sense. Starting to get a hankering for 4.0, too bad the One X has no SD slot. My upgrade is coming, then I will go wild on my Inspire. Maybe CM9 or something from the Collective, but Sense is purty.
Disclaimer: This is not advice. It is just something that fell from between my ears.

Cyanogen
I've only been flashing for a few months but once I started I was soon flashing everything new that was released. This led me to overlook CM 7.1 which was over 6 months old but when I finally did I wished I'd done it months ago. Its stable, incredibly fast and customizable to a fantastic degree. I love it and don't know if I'd go back to Sense, we'll have to c what official ICS Sense release is like but I'm really waiting for CM9.

A search would have told you that we dont do these types of threads. They only lead to flame wars.

[Q] Open Sensation or CyanogenMod 9

I am going for a complete stock feel to my Sensation and I was wondering which is more stable, Cyanogen Mod 9 or OpenSensation.

do u mean asop feel. could try senseless

I felt like inquisition was hogged down by sense remains

have you tried Virtuous quattro?

no its not stable just use Open sensation for now it is stable as hell and has a few added perks Cyanogen Mod nightlies are stable but i suggest waiting till a stable release is out sorry but quatro is unstable and un developed for months and inquisition is boged down by sense trust me try open sensation you will not be disappointed you can also try AOKP over on rootzwiki

V.I. is not bogged down by Sense. It's speed differences versus AOSP/AOKP are minute.
However, OP was asking for OpenSensation or CM9. I would choose OpenSensation. CM9 with added features.

I'm not saying it's a bad ROM but if you want Stock aosp then why use VI I loved that ROM fir a long time until we got a working aosp I was only mentioning then because three different people told him to go to virtues ROM when we have working aosp ROM I'm not saying there work was bad it was great and sensation wouldn't be as great without there work

Thanks guys for the help. Ive been testing all day and found OpenSensation to be the best although something is wrong with wifi. Virtuous Inquisition is actually pretty awesome too

yes I like virtuous because, everything is working, Wi-Fi and all! Guess that's why I stick with it. I really use Wi-Fi and hotspot a lot, so I really need it to work.
If I didn't use them so much I'd give other roms a try.

There are some benefits. Everything works perfectly, wifi, bluetooth, etc etc. The camera is way, way better as well.

I think it depends on which bugs you're willing to tolerate. VI is very stable, but the notification wouldn't work for my exchange account, which is somewhat due to the email app not having the option to force it, and the Gallery app doesn't sync with Picassa. But everything else works, including MHL, and the SebastienFM kernel makes it a little faster than Opensensation. For me, Opensensation has gradually improved, although updates sometimes break previously working elements. MHL is not working as of the most recent release, the camera used to stop working randomly (seems okay in the July build), and I find the launcher a little less smooth. Although the remnants of Sense make the VI bigger, it's not bogged down by any means, in my experience.

Senso-o-maniac website has some nice collection of sensation roms, sense and senseless. Go check it out. Www.senseomaniac.mobi.

clean stock ICS ROM for desire s

Hello, can you recommande good working and stable clean ICS ROM(like Galaxy Nexus stock interface) for daily use that has no htc sense? thx

Try Fallout or AOKP. Both are pretty good, but have some bugs.
Anyway, they won't be as stable and good as we wish until new kernel from HTC will be released.
As far I know, there isn't any absolutely problem-free and bugfree ICS ROM due to that kernel.

Fallout is a great rom indeed, but it's sense.
Try IceColdSandwich, or Tectas Unofficial.

BlindIce is what you want! Almost perfect!

because of my obsessive-compulsive-rom-flashing fetish, I have tried Fallout, Miui, IceColdSandwich, BlindIce and Primo. While Primo and Fallout have sense 4 lite, they are not what you are looking for. Miui is stable and has a good set of features, however, the ICS version of Miui is laggy and slow. Another major drawback is that Miui seems to ape ios in terms of UI and that gets really boring really fast. After all, that is why we are on android no? I have heard that the AOKP stock from Tectas is not as fast as the IceColdSandwich rom (possibly because IceColdSandwich incorporates tweaks from a number of sources including linaro and has the camera working, which I haven't seen any posts confirming this for the AOKP rom). i've tried BlindIce too, and found it a bit too laggy for my taste. So, you are probably best off with IceColdSandwich, which I have found to be the least laggy, less buggy, with most bits and pieces working and regularly updated. All flashing was done with clean install, full wipe/factory reset and no restoring of apps. Yeah, OCD like I mentioned earlier. This is just my opinion, however, I'd love to hear more from others with different experiences.
- tazz

I've tried CM9, tectas' AOKP and IceColdSammy. IceColdSandwich does feel like the smoothest and fastest of those 3. Didnt last long on CM9 and barely a day into it i went back to Reaper (still my favorite ROM). but that was one of the earlier CM9 builds, haven't gone back because every time i think about venturing away from Reaper, i try AOKP first (the latest one from Tectas is probably the most stable one of that series i've tried) then the IceColdSandwich (the latest version 8.3 is, again, the most stable) which is what I'm running now. I think i like the "cleaner", more stock android feel of AOKP. the smoothness of IceColdSandwich on top of that is plus too.
Been away from Reaper just a little over a week now and i might not come back or switch to another (yeah, right) until lowveld (fingers crossed) decides to build an ICS or JB version of Reaper.

ICE_DS by ronks is most probably the closest we can get to our official ICS OTA! With sense 3.6 though, might wanna try it out...
