There is no pure AOSP ICS at the moment the best you will do for now is virtuous senseless

Are you sure you've searched a lot? Virtuous Inquisition is a Sense-less ICS ROM.

Try this site for a neat summary of all available roms : htcsensationroms.com

I'm going to +1 for Virtuous Inquisition as well. I just switched to it after using ADHD for a long time. There's a few very minor bugs, but overall its very nice and while not AOSP, it does come close.

okay so ive tried so hard to put that virtuous rom on my phone and it will not go on ive unrooted and re rooted and ive done my supercid but it still doesnt work?? ive flashed ICS firmware aswell :L please help!

I was going to suggest Virtuous but since you already flashed it..
Is it rebooting over and over again? What is the problem?

Did you do a SuperWipe before installing the ROM?

Yeah I have to agree with the consensus here and recommend Virtuous Inquisition. I've just rooted for the first time ever and this was the first custom ROM I installed. It is really excellent.

There's a dummy proof wipe option in 4ext recovery the I think does the same thing as super wipe, I've used it between rooms several tines now with no issues. Currently on VI's 4.0.1 rom, gonna update tonite.

Getting ready to upgrade my Sensation to ICS

Hey whats up everyone? I know there are threads about this but i feel mine is specific.
So i have my sensation and tonight im gonna prepair to install ICS. Few quick questions.
1. I havnt supercid yet which isnt a problem but from my understanding if i upgrade to the 3.24 then there is no need to supercid?
2. Which ics roms have u tried that run fast/stable/ with working camera/video camera.
3. Would like an ics rom thats either stripped of sense or an AOSP build
Thanks for reading.

1. You dont have to but you may have to edit the Firmware package to add your CID....all details instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
2. I am on ARHD 6.1.1 - its amazingly stable and battery is brill. Only bug effecting me is for now you cannot have apps on SD card as it cause Sense to crash. I moved mine all back to phone and have no issues. No issues at all with camera - effects also works and did not on earlier versions - but I am not a major camera user.

Nods to Above
Hi
Gotta say I agree with everything posted in#2 - I have moved to ARHD 6.1.1 and it is smooth as butter
Everything works and it looks amazing - I had thought that Sense 3.5 was good but this latest ICS is much better.
No FC's (other than when I had apps on my SD card)
If this is what the dev's can give us with a 'test' release then the official release (once dev-d) is gonna rock!!

I think confused i am right in saying this. Without super CID you will be fine with custom roms however, if you install an un-lockable bootloader you will not, at this time, be able to downgrade again afterwards. Perhaps somebody with more knowledge would be able to clarify this.
Super CID is very simple to perform if you follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and is easily reversable if you make a note of your original CID if you are worried about your warranty.

Do u guys suggest to just go to 3.12 or 3.24? With 3.12 u need to supercid correct?

See instructions above you dont needs supercid...but no harm by doing - supercid expands your options on ROMs, etc. Basically anything will work.
If you want lastest ICS release with Sense 3.6 you must have 3.24 - else wont work. Also 3.24 not backward compatable to GB or older ICS roms so if you want to go back to earlier Android version you will need to downgrade back to 3.12 or earlier. Not hard just the same as upgradingbut with correct firmware file.

Thanks

Now when i go to run the super wipe it says. Install aborted. System already mounted.
My steps so far....
All files on root of sd
Take sd card out boot into bootloader. Highlight recovery. Insert sd card. Get into clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 go to flash super wipe and install aborted. Wtf?

Hi.. Just flashed my first ROM yesterday a complete NOOB but all went well, due to the good advice given in the various thread on this forum...
I'm rooted & supercid.
I also initially had problems with super wipe which i think turned out to be a non sensation version.
Not sure if its possible to tell but search the forum for a known sensation version.

Yea thanks man. Doing that now

Virtuous quattro is very nice. Glad i updated to ics.
Sent from my Virtuous Quattro A3 ICS HTC Sensation

Try out Virtuous Inquisition or Virtuous Quattro if you want Senseless ROMS. They are lso for the most part AOSP. I run them both and they are really fast. I also like the 1.5 GHz kernel. Really comes down to personal preference. People really like InsertCoin and ARHD, but they are not as fast as VIQ or VI, in my experience with them. I would also highly recommend CID, why not it is easy and everything will work.

Done all the above. Check sig

[Q] Roms for Stock Firmware?

Hi
I'm very new to this custom rom thing, but not a complete noob...
I am curious if there are any custom roms that will work on stock firmware/kernel...?
I flashed Clockwork recovery and are using that at the moment
So far i have tried a lot of roms (mostly ICS ones) and the one ones working so far is one of the MIUI roms which i am using at the moment, but it laggs a fair bit.
I unlocked via HTC Dev tool and thus have a weird bootloader at the moment. Will flashing firmware remove this? will i be able to restore the original firmware from a backup i have already made?
Picture shows my current status.
Any suggestions for roms would be helpful.
Thanks

You are still s-on you need s-off to get root access. Get that one first. Then energy sense 3.5 is great stable Rom wich has stock kernal.

+1 on the S-OFF. When you have it and rooted and custom recovery, make sure you do a Nandroid backup ASAP and keep it safe.
I liked CM7, then again I like AOSP ROMs in general. I was dual running CM7 (GB) and Virtuous Inquisition (ICS) on 1.23.0000 HBOOT for a while. Now gone over to 1.27.1100.

Best non-Sense ICS rom? and is this the best way to upgrade?

hey guys,
So im still on Gingerbread. Thinking of finally upgrading to ICS. I have a Tmo Sensation 4g.
So I was going to use this guide to follow as the upgrade procedure to ICS:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
But instead of flashing the exact rom in the guide, I was thinking of flashing a non-sense version...
So 2 questions:
1. Can I just follow that guide and flash any ICS rom, or since Im following that guide do i need to flash the same rom that is in that guide rom? If I do flash the rom in that guide, since Ill be on the correct firmware, can I just go then and flash any of the new ICS Roms?
2. what would you guys consider to be the most stable, cleanest, or best non Sense/Senseless/ or Sense-stripped ICS Rom?
Thanks so much everyone. I realize there are lots of related posts, but I cant find an exact answer for my question

If you want a non-sense rom, flash the Virtuous Inquisition. It's pretty stable and i highly recommend it. Remember to flash the 3.32 firmware before flashing the rom.
And no, you don't have to flash the rom found in the guide if you don't want to.

thanks.
another quick question.
when ICS roms first started coming out, i seem to remember that there was some sort of setting where you had to enable or force both cores to run. is this still the case? if so, how?
thanks

Go with HyperNonSense, its really the only functional "no sense" ROM at this time. It also happens to be pretty good!

thanks for the response
i was thinking of going with Virtous Inquisition... but have not flashed it yet. Can you please tell me why Hypernonsense would be a better choice?
Thanks

flash different roms and see which one you like

Agree with this guy. Try it out yourself!
As for the other guy, he claims it's the only functional "no-sense" Rom without any backup/proof... It's already clear here that it's all opinion. I wouldn't believe him and I think he's just blurting that out, due to love for his fav rom. I'd do the same!

i use hypernonsense 1.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350492

thanks for all the responses. I first flashed ARHD ICS from GB yesterday as my first ICS rom. then i flashed hypernonsense due to the suggestion above as i am completely sick of sense.
all I can say is wow. this is by far the most i have loved my phone in a long time. will probably try VI at some point or any other non sense roms. but after leaving sense, I sure can not see myself going back to sense.
I used to have a first gen mytouch3g, then Vibrant, and now I finally like my Sensation
if anyone has yet to try a non sense rom, I strongly urge you to try one. the phone is so damn buttery smooth and it feels like a completely different phone

In sense roms i prefer : ARHD , InsertCoin
Non sense : Virtous , hypernosense

I run OrDroid and freakin love it. Sense UI is far superior to stock, as long as you don't use the Sense launcher (use something like Apex or LauncherPro or whatever you want).
The other parts of Sense UI (camera, contacts, browser, etc) are FAR superior.
OrDroid w/ Sense 4 runs smooth as silk on the Sensation.

Best is elegnacia.in my opinion...

Same here im only 16 lol ull get it just read my fave is CM9 though its getting better every week

Shouldn't even be mentioned, I started flashing roms on my T-Mobile HTC Shadow which ran Windows Mobile 6 at 17. Loved it.

ARHD is great for a first-time modder for two reasons:
1. The ROM is solid, stable, and further customizable.
2. The documentation is clear.
I visited the site, http://www.htcsensationroms.com, and read about the different ROMs and their procedures. Android Revolution HD (ARHD) is the one I recommend. Follow the conditional logic in the documentation and it will navigate you to different posts in order for you to obtain the tools necessary to prepare your phone and satisfy all of the requirements before you actually flash (firmware), wipe (phone), and flash (ROM).
Before you actually do anything to your phone, I recommend that you take time first to read thru the various posts you will pop as you learn how to satisfy one prerequisite after another. Familiarize yourself with the process and the steps you will have to take. Build a mental checklist (or use pencil and paper) of the things you will need to do before the step when you actually boot up your phone into bootloader have it automatically install the contents of PG58IMG.zip.
It all starts here...and there lies within.
