I just got my Asurion replacement Senny(my previous Senny was stolen on Friday 3/16). I now need to S-Off, SuperCID, root, change recovery, etc all over again. I was thinking about keeping it stock since I thought the T-Mobile ICS update was imminent. If it's not, I might as well install ARHD, InsertCoin, or Virtuous. In lieu of trying to read through the 200+ pages of posts in the developer's sections, can someone quickly outline how far the developers have come with the ICS roms. I installed ICS (InsertCoin) a few months ago, but there were too many bugs. With official ICS Ruu's being released, are the custom ICS Roms stable enough for the Tmobile branded Senny 4G?
Are we at Daily Driver stage?!
P.S.
It seems like the only issue with ICS right now is TMob's Wifi Calling, which I never use.
Now the kernel source has been released we're pretty much there in terms of stability. TMOUS OTA will round things up nicely
every ICS custom ROM ive flashed has been stable. Every ICS ROM thread ive read said it was stable.
Id say they are stable lol
Most ROMs are stable even AOSP but only ROMs based on 3.6 have everything working.

They have been stable for months. Try a few and enjoy
Iv been around since the sensation was released and it has been a long haul to get some stability and performance from these phones, they had the power just didn't have the right pair with software code. The transfer from GB to ICS showed a noticeable increase in performance even from the untouched 3.6 OTA ROM but the performance is not perfect, it is good and a lot better than GB but not perfect (perfectionist here). AOSP ROMS offer higher performance in regards to UI experience but lack in stability and variety, i have managed to find the cm9 rom recently the most stable and fastest rom in UI performance and stability.
This is my list of great rom's for the different ones that there are.
ARHD 6.5.2 (STABLE AND MOFO FAST) (SENSE 3.6)
OPENSENSATION CM9 (STABLE AND FASTEST) (AOSP)
MIUI (STABLE BUT NOT FAST) (SENSELESS NOT AOSP)
MIUI TRIPNRAVER (FAST BUT NOT STABLE) (AOSP)
Yet to find a sense 4.0 stable rom yet.
I have tried many others but these stand out on top of each of the different roms there are.
JUST MY OPINION.
Biggest issues with ICS ROMs for us TMobilie US users are the included TMo apps (My Account/Account manager) and WiFi Calling.
Account manger doesn't work, flat out.
Wi Fi calling will work, but it'll drop calls sometimes a minute or two in.
The latest AHRD with the change that keeps the launcher in memory is really smoking.
Great battery life, super stable and smoking fast...
Just nandroid and try a few....
Thanks for all of the fast responses. There is a reason that I spend so much time on XDA. Awesome Community!!
Rockfoo.
I know there were posts with official ICS ROMs, you can flash one.
As T-mo user I'm a bit hesitant to flush it now, waiting for official OTA.
Of course T-mo is loading ROM with their crap right now and who knows when it will be released. I'll wait for coupe of weeks and if nothing comes out, I will flash the one I saw in EddyOS' post somewhere. It's an original HTC ROM minus T-mo bloatware.
JMO.
I took the dive and S-off'd, rooted, SuperCID'd, installed 4ext, nandroid backup'd, upgraded the firmware, and installed ARHD. It's fast, smooth and so far everything works. Only issue is that I HATE SENSE 3.6. I came from the LG G2X with all of it's AOSP goodness. Problem was the actual hardware was a travesty! My brother-in-law and my girlfriend had HTC phones and I used to think their phones were the ****! And Sense was great until I started downloading and using other developers launchers, messaging apps, etc.
Somehow, Sense 3.0 never really bothered me, but 3.6 completely hides all of ICS's goodness in my opinion. As most of the innovation that HTC developed in Sense is has been incorporated into ICS, Sense 3.6 is largely irrelevant. Sense 3.6 is just in the way!
Since most of the heavy lifting is done, I think that I can now just flash a different ICS rom...right?
I'd like to try ICS as it was intended.
Yes they are cause we have final ota base and also the kernel source... They're perfect

I have stuck with ARHD 6 at the moment.
Their first ICS release was buggy and gaming was a bit of a no go, so i went over to InsertCoin for a while until the 4.0.3 came from ARHD.
Been using that since yesterday with 1.5cpu 300gpu kernel and so far it seems very stable, still no dungeon hunter though

I'm loving Virtuous Inquisition (4.0.1). I got to mess with my uncle's Galaxy Nexus and really liked the stock ICS feel. If u like sense tho, ARHD never fails to impress.

Nothing BEST you can find. The only available is FIT with your need. Tell us what you like, what you want, what you need. User here probably can assist to give you some opinion. I'm on ARHD 6.0.2 but discharging all 3d widget, and all widget. I do like plain AOSP, but I feel comfortable with htc mail, contact and keyboard. when take "combined" rom aosp-sense ... some featur not work properly. i.e incoming call not show Icon on combining aosp+sense. HTC camera driver is better than aosp, thus I made ARHD 6.0.2 as plain as possible only 145 app left. changed roboto font to bitstreamVerasan ... roboto is too small for me.
It's main reason we join xda ... to learn and having fit ROM ... stock always give you what you dont need and dont use

Well, I enjoy flashing all of them while they are in the stages of development. I like to think of each Rom like that of a child. They all start out seeking the same goal, but instinctively over time each one starts to develop a different personality. Some, and no fault of their own, are a little slow while some are pushed to fast and suffer a lack of control. Some can be predictably stable but not overly exciting. While the other side wonder about with a mind of their own seeking direction. So, to best answer your question, have some fun and challenge yourself by giving them all a chance. Isn't that why you are here on XDA? Lastly, and without a bit of irony, I have paused curiously checking out this kid that was quirky at first, but now is starting to feel comfortable and trustworthy. Ive noticed over the days a quick pace in mind which ends at the finish without any lag or do overs yet knows their is much to be learned. Finally, standing strong, front and center, I refer to you "Virtuous Inquisition 2.0.1"
Wld u consider these roms for daily use? A lot of folks end up gng back to GB...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
There's no going back for me or many other members using ICS!
Well, I did like Virtuous Inquisition 1.4.2 very much, but have found many bugs in 2.0.1 that took my pleasure away (FCs here and there, can't choose Ringtones, etc.). I am using 1.4.2 as my daily driver and think it's pretty far away from an early alpha stage. But there are bugs... e.g. can't use the QuickLinks more than once in Dolphin Browser Mini, Winamp seems to be buggy etc.
Came from CM7 Alpha, so I'm used to use an alpha for my sensation Hate Sense, so AOSP or nearly AOSP fits me most.
Just my 2 Cents
If you didn't upgrade to ICS yet don't do it!
Why?
Because:
-Scrolling is slow
-Some games are not working
-Many apps FC
-Battery is horrible if using wifi
-SD messing up from time to time
-ZERO mods because htc's systemui is not compatible with apktool
So better stay with GB or wait for CM9
Have to admit, scrolling is a turn-off... Also had many FCs. Otherwise, I like the speed improvement. Don't have much battery drain.
@vegetaleb: Which ICS Rom(s) did you try?
Read somewhere, that InsertCoins ICS might be very good...
.edit: Virtuous Inquisition 2.0.1 is now working a lot better. Probably installed some 1.4.2 Apps from HTC via Titanium Backup which caused htc.com FCs.
I am using ARHD 6.0.2(ICS 4.0.3) And is amazingly smooth ,fast, very good battery life, waiting for CM ICS stable now .

Hi gang...I'm new to the Sensation and the rom choices are staggering!
I need a little guidance on what I should do....I'm about to root and need a solid fast daily driver...as I depend on my phone for family, emergencies and for business.
I'd like ICS..but concerned about stability and app compatibility.
Or
Should I just stick to a GB rom?
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated
well obviously GB for now are more stable than ICS but now i am using insertcoin 4.6.1 and it is running great...if you want to be sure flash GB
I too am wondering if the ICS builds are a daily driver that can be trusted, and if so which one is favored by the community? I love the ICS on my prime but I don't know how it will go on my sensation . I came back to the sensation for ICS as I like the functionality of it. I left the gs2 because touchwiz just ruined any version of Android in my opinion,
I recently installed the ICS around 5 days ago. I'm using ARHD 6.3.0 and its working great. I haven't noticed any major bugs whatsoever, and I've only had minor problems with wifi-calling.
I'd say go for ICS. You'll be better off with ICS sooner or later anyways.
I used the Darkforest rom for weeks and never had an issue. The only reason I'm not using it now is because I've flashed the 'official' beta ICS from the HTC Elevate test. That is available on the Insertcoin website for download, if you want semi official and very stable then this is it!
I stuck with GB roms for a few weeks after getting my XE purely for the stability reason, but ive been running a few ICS roms and found ARHD, InsertCoin and Elegancia to be pretty safe bets for daily use if you like Sense. But if you're after a stable AOSP experience theres always Virtuous Inquisition which ive used for about a week at work with no problems.
For the last few weeks I've been using Insert Coin and never experienced any problems whatsoever. No force closes on anything, no reboots, no lag. I'm no dev but in my experience it's smoother and every bit as stable as Gingerbread.
Go for it!
Thank you everyone...ICS it is...now to which one....haha
I think the consensus have been ARDH vs Insert Coin.
Of those 2..which offers the stability..and customization of themes etc?
I have tried both ARHD and IC. I started with ARHD but the lag was a bit much. I switched to IC and have not looked back. I am not sure about themes but for stability and speed its IC for me

Purely a personal choice, Virtuous Inquisition as it offers an ICS AOSP feel. Get the 1.27.1100 HBOOT and you're sorted.
GB will be dead in the water soon so won't be a realistic option.
EDIT: I meant to add that ICS and the updated firmware seems to give better battery life.
Try Virtuous Inquisition 3.5 ICS. Bettery battery life than GB, good stability, can be used as daily driver. Only minor bugs. IMHO hybrid aosp is far better than pure Sense. Better for RAM and more delicate for battery Virtuous Inquisition has HTC camera and stock HTC music player with ability to be used with beats audio (this needs seperate update package).
What's more, this ROM doesn't have annoying desensed bugs like power saving mode under 20% of battery and fast boot.
VI 3.5.0 and don't look back.

So now that we have multiple roms based on Sense 4.0, which one is the best for you and why?
As for me I am still waiting the next step for fixes
"Best" is simply not to tell.
What works great is Kings Rom. Tried all 4.0 Sense-Roms til now. Virtuos was the first rom I flashed and a lot of things worked great, but BT with headset didn't work. That seems to work with Kings rom. Also tried Elegancia as I am using Elegancia roms since I rooted and s-off'ed my phone.
Til now all sense 4.0 roms seem to have some difficulties. Mostly animations won't work and on some BT won't do.
Til problems are solved, I'll revert to sense 3.6
Now all based sense 4 are the same and they have same problem.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
In terms of speed and stability?
Are same till now ..
If you're looking for speed and stability, don't go with any of them. Even the One S version is for a phone with an S4 processor, we have an S3. Unfortunately, while the S3 is still powerful, the S4 has many improvements from what I hear. Sense 4 roms may never be as fast as 3.6 or AOSP-like roms.
So now we have 3 main roms:
-Baadnewz
-Shnizlon
-Virtuous
I want to choose between Baad beta 10 and Shnizlon 1.6.0
Help!
There can't be no good ROM for now, cause the source for Sense 4.0 just been out for a few days. I'll wait for some more stable versions.
I think after trying all of the Sense 4.0 roms, Virtuous S4X is probably the best.
I am on Baadnewz beta 10 (perhaps upgrading to 12) and I am very happy!
Everything work,fast enough and very little bugs.
Only Rootexplorer is not working as app
BT is not working of course. I wonder if they will make it work one day, it's a BT 4.0 and Sensation is 3.0

They're not really working on it yet. The Sensation is in their second wave of devices that they're seriously focusing on.
Team Venom
I've searched this web for quite a while, and the Viper3D is by far the best 4.0 sense ICS out there. I have no issues, and the simple little quirks that it did have are solved. Wonderful daily rom, constant updates with a little humor and I've flashed each and every one of them including the multies. Everything works, tweaks are fabulous, I have no complaints and it has been my daily driver for quite a while and don't see my self changing it.
Anything Virus is included in, I'm following, and with the well established and newly named Venom team? They are setting it off!!!!

People are always posting up new threads asking for advice on this ROM vs. that ROM. Well, I haven't tried them all, but I've tried quite a few of the more popular ones recently. I'm not going to pick these ROMS apart. If you want more info about what I liked or didn't like about a particular ROM I've tried, go ahead and ask.
I got my Sensation back in January. I used the stock Gingerbread for a couple of months. Then got frustrated when the T-Mobile ICS update got delayed and have been on a flashing frenzy ever since.
I've been trying a lot of ROMs lately. I started with ARHD, then went to Elegancia, then Hypernonsense, then back to Elegancia, then Sense 4 Elegancia, then back to 3.6, then Virtuous Inquisition, then Opensensation (CM9), and back to Elegancia again. I've also tried Sebastion, faux, and bricked kernels - I prefer bricked best.
I honestly don't a see a performance difference between Sense, stripped Sense, or AOSP ROMs. I have System Tuner Pro and always monitor memory usage. I thought that the stripped and AOSP ROMs would have gobs of free memory available, but they just don't. They're no better or worse. I also was compelled to try those ROMs to improve battery life. Again, the experience didn't match the hype.
It all comes down to personal preference. Each ROM has its own glitches. But from my experience, full Sense 3.6 ROMs are the most functional and most stable. I loved the Sense 4.0 ROM I tried, except that Sense crashed on me like 3 times a day having to pull the battery each time. For me, nothing beats the Sense widgets. I live in the email and calendar widgets for work and the music widget in the car. No other widgets come close.
I think I'm gonna quit screwing around with it for a while. I am very happy with the Elegancia Sense 3.6 ROM / Bricked kernal combo. It's pretty much already modded/themed the I way I would do it. I can just flash it and go. I will try the Sense 4.0 version again when it's more mature. I loved it, I just can't have my phone crashing on me constantly.
I still want to try MIUI and will probably try CM9 again when it's official. I really like some of the home screen setups people have been able to pull off with their AOSP ROMs. But I think the widgets will always pull me back to a full Sense ROM. The only widgets that can compete, you have to pay for - and they're still not as good. Also, the AOSP camera blows compared to the Sense camera. In the end, it's all about what's functional for you.
In conclusion, try a few, try a bunch... don't get lost in the hunt for better battery life and more performance, because - 1) those 2 things don't go together... & 2) those 2 things are largely the same across all ROMS whether you're full Sense, stripped-Sense, or AOSP. Just find what you like and enjoy!
SO wutZ da best roms to use?
Just joking, but it's too bad some people are serious.
Its all about your liking that's it otherwise there is not a rom whit better battery life than any others

I've been using Ordroid (Sense4) for a week or so now and I've found it quiet stable to be honest. I haven't experienced any crashes.
The batterylife was in 5.0.X about 17 hours (2 hours of screen turned on).
V6.0.0; I can't say if there are anything wrong just yet since its been out for about 2 days only and I've used it for 1 day. but the first batterycycle was about 21 hours with 2h 5m screen turned on. Only thing I could complain about with Ordroid is the partially working BT, I can't say anything about the Wifi-tethering issue because I am not using it.
Hmm, well I guess that was that.
The partially working Bluetooth issue is across all Sense 4 ROMs. It has to do with the fact that Sense 4 was ported from another device with different BT hardware - so the Sense drivers aren't fully compatible.
With the release of T-Mobile's official RUU, it may be time try Sense 4 again and see if some of the previous issues I experienced are fixed now. But BT will probably always only be partially working due to the driver issue.

I tried Elegancia Sense 4 again last night. I thought it was time to give it another go since there have a few builds released since the last time. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Whatever issues I'm having are buried deeper than what gets changed from build to build.
My phone has crashed on my twice in the last 5 hours. It's unfortunate. I really like Sense 4 - I think it's cleaner & smoother than 3.6. The camera is better and faster than 3.6. But if your phone crashes on you while changing menus or doesn't wake up and you have to pull the battery all the time, then it's useless.
Does anyone else have these issues with Sense 4? Maybe another Sense 4 ROM is better? I have not yet tried another Sense 4 ROM because it seems they all use the same base. Maybe I should try another and see if it works better...
The new InsertCoin ROM Sense 4.0 is out now, looks very stable, only FM Radio not working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546731
I just flashed OrDroid Sense 4. I'll give that one a shot. It has a different base - the new leaked Ville RUU instead of the One S. The Ville and Sensation share the same processor, so maybe that will do the trick.
EDIT: That one's no good for me either. It has its own set of glitches I'm not willing to live with.
Now trying Steve's new TMOUS Elegancia with Bricked kernel.
Any tradeoffs for non Sense ROMs? I know the camera app is better on HTC's but other than that? Is there a Torch app similar to the stock one? Etc..
...and back on Elegancia 3.7.6. lol
I am running the updated TMOUS firmware now, tho. along with the other radio fix for TMOUS users. This might be the best combo I've run yet. But I'm still anxious for a fully functional Sense 4 ROM.

For me, I love the overclocking of custom roms/kernels. Stock Sensation is 1.2ghz. My custom rom Sensation is 1.7ghz. Man is it speedy. I took the time to read countless posts and spent a ton of time learning how to mod my Sensation. No way am I going back to stock carrier rom.
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.

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...
