Does anyone know the most "stable" AOSP Senseless Rom? I'm sick of the battery life on Sense roms, and I have 2000mAh battery. If anyone can help, i would appreciate it.

Download the newest firmware from there that suites you and flash it from the bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1098849
Flash Android Revolution HD with the setup you want in 4EXT.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1470497
Download V41 and go through Aroma picking exactly what you want, requires 4EXT recovery.
This is the best option because you get the reliability of ARHD but can customize what you need to get to stock ICS

I just said that to someone in General, and it applies here. ARHD + AOSP upgrade = Best, customizable combo rom.
If battery is a major factor, consider Sharpy STRPT CM9. I am 24hr off charge at 42% with my normal usage, normally dead by late evening. Overnight (7hrs) I lost 3%, still syncing email etc.

OpenSensation CM9 is excellent, CRT animations, good battery life, very customizable etc .

You should be pretty safe with any of the top ROM's at the moment as they're all run by quite experienced programmers.
Running what I have in my signature is giving me unbelievable results in the battery area, as well as performance, it's quite incredible actually.
you shoud try Virtuous Inquisition: D

VI 4.0.1 hands down!If you need a solid kernel to go with it Faux 004 is the way to go.
For Sense-less ROM, I think Virtuous is a solid option.
ARHD with Sense removed is also a good option, but requires a bit more tinkering from my understanding.
I've tried ExtremeSensation Prime 5 and found that to be a very stable ROM with good battery life on my XE.
Senseless and from what I can see, no major problems and almost everything is AOSP. Worth a try.

First of all, Thanks to all HTC Sensation's Rom developers. We have quite a few. HTC Sensation is as of now one of the most supported devices…kudos to them...It is really appreciated.
I am just tester that switched from iphone(got sick of it) to Android about 1-1/2 to 2 years ago. I started with the amazing HTC HD2, then HTC Desire Z(t-mobile G2), T-Mobile LG-2X, and now the powerful HTC Sensation.
I have always looked for the best battery developed rom offered. For example on HTC HD2 , I could not find any better than Hyperdroid from pongster, or Virtuous on G2, Eagleblood on LG2X. These are just my modest opinion
I have tried about 10 different ROMs on my Sensation and so far the best I have found battery wise is Insertcoin….(as I said it is just my opinion). Insertcoin is fine and 40 to 50 % better compared to stock, but it does not compare to the battery life I was getting from Hyperdriodv11 from pongster (which with normal use lasted 1 1/2 to 2 days, on heavy use lasted the entire day). INSERTCOIN give a good 14 to 16 hours (normal use) which I cannot complaint about it, but o when I have heavy use I need to charge it at least once or twice a day.
I have only one Sensation and I have tested quite a few roms but no all. There are about 30 to 40 out there. I am posting 33, sorry if a miss others. I have tested quite a few so far would like to share my experiences, but I would also like other member opinions which may help me and others to make their best pick.
This a bashing or a pissing contest..it is just your opinion please be gently
I will appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

Too bad this poll hasn't gotten a larger voting result. I would love to see the poll with votes in the hundreds.
You forgot CM7 alpha 7.... ive tried a couple different roms and lees and mikes dont compare to CM7.
Not all SOCs are created equal
I have tried the following ROMs so far and have monitored battery usage on them with the Current Widget and logs.
1. ARHD 4.1.6
2. InsertCoin 3.4.4
3. Reverted AOSP
4. MIUI.us Latest
My best battery usage (lowest under 10Ma) is with InsertCoin's ROM. The other ROMs showed heavy battery drain(even without any other apps except stock), particularly with ARHD and Reverted AOSP. ARHD and AOSP use custom kernels unlike InsertCoin which uses stock by default. I don't however think the problem is with the ROM or Kernels. My phone SOC just cant seem to handle undervolting or any other kernel mods very well.
I love InsertCoin. VERY useful additions/changes from stock. I also love the speed on ARHD. Tough decision between the two but the battery life was the clincher so sticking with InsertCoin for now. I love the simplicity of MIUI but too many FCs at the moment. InsertCoin has been the most dependable ROM for my phone.
I am also going to try ARHD with some other kernels and see how that works.
Like I said, not all SOCs are created equal so mileage WILL vary. This poll is at best some kind of starting point for the battery conscious.
IMAO, CM7 is awesome, more than 1 day with medium use !

I've been using ARHD for about 2 weeks now and battery has been absolutely horrible. I cant seem to get more than 4 1/2 hours without getting to 25%. I'm going to try InsertCoin next. Can't wait for the ICS version on CM though!
Sense-O-Maniac Rom which is already debloated runs fast & batt life is awesome!
P3D is the best for me.

It is Sense-o-Maniac and I love it
I understand those are the most popular sense 3.5, I now have Insertcoin's version, are there any big differences between them? should I give ARHD's a try? also if you have a better recommendation for another sense 3.5 rom I'd be happy to listen.
Between the two I would pick insertcoin. ARHD was just slow to me, and drained batteries if I looked at it weird.
You could try giving Senseay a try, heard good things abt it.

Okay so not a big difference then, thanks mate.

I find InsertCoin ROM's to be about the fastest sense versions. I also like the S3ns3ay versions too.
Both of these are followers of the Bricked kernel, which is probably a little quicker than the Faux kernel in ARHD. However, speed and power can consume more battery and I think Faux is working on a battery efficient kernel, where Show-P is a little less battery conscious.
I started out with ARHD switched to InsertCoin primarily for the amaze camera and found I liked the feel and speed of that rom better. I've since switched to CM7 selfkang 9 and am stuck in limbo as to what I want to do because I'm not 100% happy with what I have. Also from my experience both ARHD and InsertCoin have so many additional apps that I have no idea why they put them on the rom I ended up cleaning up the rom major after I installed it. I have heard that bulletproof is a great rom though. I may try that out. I'm just tired of setting up my phone after each flash.
Only you can get a feel for what you like.
InsertCoin and ARHD are pretty similar, others offer different visuals and features.
Nandroid is your friend!!
Try 'em all until you're happy. Just be scrupulous with your backups.
Different devs have different philosophies.

P.
2nd day with IC and I'm seeing huge improvements in battery life (probably ARHD's 1.5ghz overclock was the culprit) I'm very satisfied with it so far, thanks everyone for the input.
Neither. CM7.
Everything
I have taken my Sensation on all the rides in the park and keep going back to my ARHD backup, the bugs i had aren't there in 4.1.5 so i think faux has had some success lately, my battery life is much better than it was in Stock mode. same factory battery. however not all phones are created equally and not everyone runs the same apps, i think the apps loaded are the key to better or worse luck.
Do you run it @1.5ghz ?

I got my HTC Desire S yesterday and updated it to the latest stock ROM OTA.
Now I'm just wondering if I want to flash CM7, the phone feels very fast and snappy as it is on a custom ROM, will I really notice many differences if I flash CM7?

That's the good thing about a rooted phone. Do a Nandroid backup of your existing ROM, and give it a try. We all have different tastes and preferences.
CM9 is also round the corner.

Only you can answer that question as snappy is one of those perception issues like battery life. As the previous poster suggested, do a nandroid backup of your current stock ROM setup and start flashing. If you don't like it restore your nandroid backup and you will be back in business.
When I switched from stock rom to cm7 a few months ago, I thought I had a new phone considering the speed advantage I noticed. To me a very important feature of cm7 is the control of application rights. E.g. if you don't like a torch-app to access your personal data you can search an alternative torch app or you can just deny the app the permission you don't want to give (and hope the app will still work).
Battery life improved greatly going from sense to CM7 for me. Overall the experience was much smoother. I felt like I had a new phone again.
Hi guys, I don't like HTC Sense and I wanted better battery life. I have now CM7, but my battery life is not better. I have CyanogenMOD 7.1 (stable version).
I charged my phone on 100% and then I wipe battery status, but battery life is wrong. What can I do for better battery life? Change radio or what?
Thanks for answers...

Check for some apps that can drain battery.
With the same version installed and only some Gapps from the package, with Tiamat kernel /smartassv2 governor at max ~900 MHz I had up to 5 days running time between charges.
How do I know which application drain battery?
I charge battery every day...

Apps that can drain battery are those that all the time are trying to access a network, or GPS service or syncing etc.
Hell yes!
I love CM7! I like AOSP. I have been using Sense since I got the phone, but now decided to give CM ago..
The speed is incredible. Its much faster than Sense. I love the simplicity in some aspects too.
However, I miss some sense features.
Examples: hibernate, clock app, some Widgets etc

I think if you are happy with your ROM, why change it? You can change it in the future anyway, if you realize, that stock ROM is not good enough any more.
In my case, I also tried CM7 and I do not like it. Do not take me wrong, I believe it is a very good ROM, but I just cannot be without HTC Sense, that's all. So my last stock ROM was 2.3.5 and after long research for custom ROMs, I found one, Endymion. It is great ROM and with Sense 3.5.
The only reason for another one in the future is this one is not going to be with ICS.
The great thing about Sense imo is that it is an all-in one package. For example the weather widget, calendar widget and many more. Whereas CM7 is more customizable to your liking, but with increased performance and better battery life.
The title pretty much says it all. what do y'all think is the best most stable ICS rom?
This should be in Q&A but I've found RCMix ICE v1.1 to be incredibly stable. I haven't had a single problem with it so far. It also has the best battery life as far as I can tell. I get roughly 30 - 40 hours of medium use with my 1700mAh battery. Now I've got a 1950mAh from Mugen so that should make things more interesting.

Virtuous Inquisition is the best one IMO. I've been using it since Christmas with very few issues.
Virtuous 1.4.2 so far seems the quickest and most stable, which just seems 'senseless' considering they are all from the same base.....
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Virtuous Inquisition. Some minor issues, but definitely daily driver status.
I've come to the decision that ICS roms for Sensation only cause problems for me, thats why I just use a theme to give me the look of ICS but the stability of Gingerbread until we get the offical RUU from HTC.
I am using arhd 5.02 for a few days. So far no problems
Virtuous Inquisition works a treat!
Tried both RCMix 1.1 and ARHD 5.0.2, both worked very well after doing the firmware update. Not much differentation of the ICS ROMs yet as far as I can tell.
Thought id share, just gone back to GB from ICS 4.0.3 unroll HTC push the stable ota out and I must say, sooooo much better battery, speed and performance. I missed my phone being this fast lol

What ICS were you using and what GB are you on? If anything I personally found that ICS was a bit faster and better battery.
Went from insert coin to mikes android rev. I found ics so laggy and battery wasn't lasting 16 hours with same usuage. I am getting bored of the selection of sensations Roms they are mostly all same sense roms or new roms that all have bugs and things not working. Miui for example camera still don't work (recording). Bluetooth or camera on cm9 due to kernel and so on just seems theres always something to prevent a fully working pyramid rom So to gett all things I need working I'm stuck with a sense Rom
Going to switch to a new phone but not sure what to get Any suggestions?;

I too think gb is faster but battery was better with ICS I reverted to gb before and after a while flashed ics again cuz of the battery and cm9. I still kind of want to go back to gb but don't want to have to flash the FW again and risk bricking.

I have tried several of the ICS flavors from different ROM builders.
I keep coming back to ARDH 3.6.x.
I gotta have WiFi calling stability and the call quality when outside is bad (Lack of noise cancellation).
I too, had worse battery life on any of the ICS builds. However, performance, as measured by seat of the pants and benchmarks...was better.
I'm very appreciative of the Dev work on these...don't get me wrong.
I've found I like Sense 3.5 or 3.6 more than ICS at this point in time...the widgets and folder/app organization is superior to 3.0.
Can't wait for an OEM release so these devs can really nail it.
I installed an insertcoin rom but not glad to install 4.0.3. Colors seem to be sober.. I don't know why but i'm pretty sure that there's a problem with the colors. I saw a topic about it and i think it had a patch to fix it. But i can't find it.. Anyone knows? If no, i will go back to gingerbread, too until the official sensation ics release comes =(

+1. No lag at all and battery is best I've had since getting the phone. Only downside for me is waiting for apps to be updated for Ics.
Sent From My HTC Sensation using Xda premium App
Ics is definitely faster than gingerbread. Needed to run cm7 to feel like I was actually using a dual core phone, but sense ics feels much faster than gb sense. Fast enough that I can tolerate sense now. Battery life hasn't been that exciting on ics for me though. It seems about the same maybe a bit worse but then I haven't bothered to calibrate the battery yet.
All in all, I won't ever go back to gingerbread.

i have just installed insert coin ics 2 days ago and very much happy with the smoothness, stability, and speed of it. not really a rom addict but i tried only two other roms before and stayed loyal on each of them. but i think i have my new rom now and will definitely stay with baadnewz rom. battery have never been an issue of mine since its always usb plugged.
in comparison with gingerbread, there really is no contest.
Ran LeeDroid, ARHD, and AndroidME ICS roms,and so far liking the AndroidME the most. May try InsertCoin next week and see what the hype is about.
ICS is already faster than GB with the stock kernel, and I can imagine it only getting faster once kernel devs improve their work. This is coming from someone running Pyramid3D 12 hours prior @ 1.512g overclocking kernel.

I've tried CM7, ARHD 3.6 (GB), 5.2, 6.0 and 6.2 (ICS), so my experience is somewhat limited.
But I've noticed that ICS is faster than GB right after superwiping and flashing the ROM. As time passes it gets slower and slower. Shutting down and restarting helps a bit, but the performance never fully improves. This is just the feel of the phone, menu lags, scrolling stuttering, etc.
In comparison GB is slower, but more consistent. The way it feels right after a new flash is the same way it feels after 1-2 weeks uptime. And it has fewer bugs, like the green Skype video.
still baking
I was flashing a dozen similar Sense 3.6 roms and then realized I had a problem. No consistency, flashing addict. I even considered un-rooting to rehab myself. I really liked Virtuous Quattro Alpha 3 and TripNRaver's CM9 but not having Bluetooth and video recording was a deal breaker.
Two months ago, I was having issues with Gingerbread and my device freezing. But after learning about firmwares, I think I made my device even more reliable than stock. I went back to Sense-o-maniac v1.5.3 with the Amaze camera. For me, this rom has almost everything I need from Android: Amazing camera, CRT animations, screen shots, and a working Hulu+ app.
Sense is okay but I love the improvements of Android 4.0. The new lock screen, new menus, calendar, and the keyboard works great. Hopefully by March, some of these great devs will have perfected CM9.
pro setup includes. Virtuous inquisition ics 4.0.3 on the sensation is fantastic. Quite possibly the best phone/rom combo ive used. 30+ hrs battery. Its fast. Everything works. Cant ask for more at this point. U should try virtuous inquisition before deciding to stick with gingerbread. I was reluctant to take the plunge up to ics but glad i did. This is coming from someone who is extremely picky with their device and how well it works.
