it is really quick, but expect this thread to get closed almost immidiately, there are already a few of these around, and you didnt really explain your opinion
but to properly respond, my personal fav and daily driver is InsertCoin gb2.3.5, been using it since 1.x, and loving it ever since

Been using Bulletproof lately as I'm loving the tweaks menu.

Using Senseless Extreme3.1 as I got tired of Sense. Will use CM7 when it comes out.

No CM7 or MIUI till now Getting bored of Sense now I want MIUI!!!

Sorry for not going into detail.
Think the P3D ROM is great mainly because of the quickness, love the blue neon theme, and so many other things. Check out the features on the above link.
And sorry I'm a noon, but why would they close my thread?

Android Revolution HD 3.0.4 is the best ROM ever for htc Sensation
Super Fast
Super Smooth
Stable
Good Battery Life

I agree, at one is pretty cool. If I wasn't using P3D I would be using it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

just because there are several kinds of this thread already going, but i suppose its pertinant, considering how many new roms are available now, and how many ppl have posted so far

I prefer the stock look over any themed ROM. Especially on the P3D. That neon theme is a love it hate it type of thing. Me, I wanna have full control on what I want on my phone rather than habing it themed for me. Same as with the font used on the ROM. Anyways, I'm running the beta 2.3.5 by baad with faux kernel and it's really fast and smooth. Also, I've tried every other ROM on the sensation and so far the stock based, meaning the untouched but deodexed or odex are the fastest and smoothest.

I have tried most of the ROMs and ended up staying with Energy. It is close to stock but themed just enough to be perfect, and I have never had any problems with it. It gets the best battery life, it's very quick and stable, and best of all the dev is on top of it, any found bug will be fixed instantly.

Looks like all the devs between the sensation and evo3d may have AOSP stable before CM. Sounds like it could even be this week

That would be awesome. I'm really enjoying flashing between all these roms available. I don't think CM is the end all of roms but it definitely adds to the variety in a very good way. Nothing wrong with options.

What was faster for you? CoreDroid or P3D? I'm on CoreDroid 2.3 right now and I love the theme, but I feel like it still isn't the quickest ROM and I'm getting in the mood to try a different ROM (CoreDroid has basically been the only ROM I've tried). If P3D is indeed faster I'll try it out since it has its own nice theme.

does the new faux kernel fix all the 3d and gaming issues?

I always go hack to eagleblood Rom.

After flashing several 3.0 and 3.5 ROMS I have to say the Virtuous ROM is very stable. I've had no problems, lags or FCs.
I have not tried any ICS ROMS so can't comment on their stability.

I have three nandroids of Roms that I use, all of which are pretty good:
Virtuous Sensation - has most Sense
HyperNonSense - has a little Sense
RevertedAOSP - zero Sense, stock Android
My daily driver is RevertedAOSP because it is fast, solid, and with a few tweaks does everything I need it to do.

Good stuff.
Thanks guys

He's asking for ICS not gingerbread!
Anyways, I'm using webstar1's Ultimite ROM. Very smooth when compared to the other sense based roms. pretty much is AOSP, except for the Dialler/Contacts and camera apps. would recommend, very stable, hadn't had one FC yet. :]

Android Revolution HD (currently im using the 3.6.8 version see my signature) is good. It's stable and it's just like the stock ROM only more tweaked and overclocked to 1.5GHz. Despite that all the battery life is longer than the stock ROM itself while performance improves, so I would recommend you this ROM.
Must say that I haven't tried other ROMS yet (only the ARHD ICS ROM once, but after 30 minutes playing around I was bored so put it back to 2.3 with nandroid backup)

I just flashed Virtuous ICS 1.3.0 today and so far, while certainly beta, looks really stable! Unless something creeps out of the corners, looks like this will be my new daily driver for a while.

I haven't tried an AOSP yet. Thanks for the recommendation. 100% trying that right now !

Well, have flashed twice daily, since I owned the Sensation a couple weeks back, tried every rom in the android forum, a couple of roms i feel are rock solid stable, not force closing once, and a nice amount of battery, they are LeeDroids rom and CoreDroid rom, thats my opinion only, and for you just keep flashing, I also too am not a fan (yet) of ICS roms....... what am I using now???? see my signature

Best ics rom?

Im looking for a highly recommended ICS ROM, that doesnt look like sense.
Please recommend some ROM's!
(it owuld be amazing if you even added the link to the ROM

Virtuous is the best stable ICS rom I have used and it is a senseless rom...highly reccomended

Since they are the best by far. If ICS do not have, unfortunately, however, yet. However, vantage points is worthwhile...
Excuse for my English

I also use virtuous. Ive tried ARHD, IC, RCmix, and Trips ROMs. Virtuous looks just like AOSP and feels like it aside from some slow downs here and there. Only thing that gives it away as Sense based is benchmark scores.
Now the camera shortcut from lockscreen works as does the gallery shortcut within camera mode! Having a "senseless" sense based ROM really has the benefit of being able to use SOME of the worth a crap HTC apps such as the camera. We ALL know how lousy CM7 camera was...

Virtuous flies w/included kernel! You'll just have to try it....then report back.

I use AHRD. It feels like an official ROM and I get 6219 at antutu test and get good battery life.

Which ICS rom do you prefer?

I'm not totally sure yet as it isn't 100% yet

With sense - ARHD (for now!); Without sense - Virtuous Inquisition.. That's my opinion..
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

I've tried ARHD but the terrible battery life made me go to Virtuous Inquisition. Very stable.

What's the point of this thread?
It's like going to a bar and asking a bunch of guys which beer is the best. Hopefully you don't get punched in a face

Even so, there is a difference in quality when some are stable and others are still in Alpha.
I've always had minor problems with ARHD, performance hiccups and whatnot. Virtuous Inquisition, however, is stable and just feels lightning fast and smooth.

No one is perfect wait until official release if you don't want to be in trouble.

Insertcoin with SebestianFM 1.5 - Stable, fast, and plenty of battery life.

No Sense Virtuous Inquisition v3.0
Try some roms is really the only way to know whats best for U!

I think this thread could go that way: flash and post a review! Think of it like ROM tasting - have a sniff, a taste, spit it out, rinse and try the next one.
It's not always as simple as that, but I suspect that now that TripNRaVer released his beta ROM of the Cyanogenmod 9 source, for Sensation, that developers can be inspired to also source from CM9 and get some more ROMs out, based on CM9.
Has anyone here got it running and can compare it to the best on XDA?
I've waited this long. Just waiting until we have a CM9 ROM running properly, then will try a few of them.
CM9 for Sensation is a great leap for Sensation ROMs, IMHO.

Kristofpetho's HyperNonSense is excellent! I installed it on my gf's phone and it's super fast and stable. She prefers speed over beauty though, so that's always something to consider

InsertCoin
For me i'd say: InsertCoin v4.4.6 - stable, performance wise (battery, etc), above par compared to other ROMs out there!.

Is that rom AOSP or built off sense?

My preference is Exactly same as yours....

I use ARHD 6.2.1 XE but I cannot connect wifi networks with enterprise security. So, ARHD is not so good!

InsertCoin 4.4.8. Amazing ROM: fast, snappy and nice mods.

I am using ARHD 6.2.1 xe........for me everything works fine....and battery Life is amazing too.......thanks Mike and Team....

Insertcoin 4.4.8 (and since the beginning...). In the past I vasilated(sp?) between it and ARHD.
I tend to stick with one dev though.

(Q) Going from virtous inquisition to cm9

Hello everyone.
I would like some feedback from people like me that are running v.i. 4.0.3 that have flashed the new cm9 4.0.4
Do you find it as good as v.i. any major bugs or antthing else i should know before i flash.
Thank you!

I was using VI for while but now I am sold on CM9. VI is basically geared for the people who wanted AOSP ICS but weren't content to use a buggy build like Quattro or TripNDroid. Now that it is getting pretty damn stable and we have BT and 1080p, I don't really see any reason to remain on VI if you're an AOSP-type guy.
Besides, it has a lot of extra features VI doesn't have.

I move back and forth because I need wifi tethering. My Internet provider has been flaky lately and I need to be online. If it weren't for that, I'd be on cm9 fully. It just like VI but snappier!

i havent tried cm9 yet because you cant superwipe and that really makes me nervous. What exactly did u guys do before flashing?

I still use Senseless roms cause CM9 is only marginally faster and the AOSP camera is just terrible. You can't refocus video (yet?) while recording, so hopefully you're not recording any moving objects.

The cm9 it's much faster and more responsive I am using it now and love it I switch back and fourth from ordroid

I installed thru 4EXT Recovery. Made sure I had the correct firmware, downloaded OpenSensation and the GAPPS (Google apps pack) placed both on my SD card. Backed up my current ROM. Wiped phone, data and dalvik cache. Flashed Opensensation, flashed GAPPS and rebooted phone. No problems so far. It is slightly more responsive and allows you to set your Ghz for speed or battery life. The AOSP camera does suck though...

Whilst I liked CM9 quite a lot, I agree with this statement.
I personally found CM9 smooth, but not quite as responsive as VI. And yes, the ICS camera app does not even get close to HQ camera in terms of quality.
VI is great at the moment, just wouldn't mind having the screen off animation added

I personally think CM9 is more responsive, no HTC bloatware added. The AOSP camera is slightly worse as it has the large grey margin on the side, but then again, I do like the Panorama function, the refocusing sound is also a lot better than the one on Sense

I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed after trying CM9. It is way slower than my Desire HD with CM7. CM7 is great, blazingly fast, and lets you put the launcher entirely in the RAM. There's close to zero possibilities yet, with CM9. Not many options for tweaking, etc.
The stability is horrible, too. I flashed it 30 minutes ago, and it has already crashed three times, even though I wiped everything before the flash.
Not quite fit for use, yet.
