Which custom (sense) ROM will you prefer for sensation 4g?

There are several major custom ROM out there for the sensation 4g, which one would you prefer?
Android Revolution HD, Virtuous and Leedroid seem to be the leading group out there, I was an CM loyal with my old G2 so need some advice here.
For now their difference seems to be quite little, but i am not familiar with custom Sense ROM, which team has the biggest upside? Thx.
Sense ROM only folks! I know there are a lot of love for CM, I am a big fan too, but i think sense has done some great job.
I just hope someone will allow sense launcher to resize widget, which will Sense the perfect choice.

None..
Until there is a TMOUS based one released I won't be flashing these WWE roms. T-Mobile Visual Voicemail doesn't work, along with MyAcccount which is good for checking on my minutes and notifying me when I am low. From what I read, the OTA for Sensation 4G is to be released within a week or two and from there hopefully we will get a rom like CMYLXGO's HD2 Desire.

I tried all three of them. Leedroid seems to be laggy. Android Revolution HD feels a little faster than the stock ROM and that's about it. Virtuous seems to be faster than the stock ROM too, and I like how they added more options to the quick settings. Like volume control, brightness control, etc... But camera flash doesnt work on Virtuous. Sorry for the negative comments. I'm just not a fan of sense. It feels bloated to me.

Whats with all the ROMs anyways? Why not use something like ADW EX, freeze Sense, and then get setCPU working instead?
I wish someone would have a simple method to perm. root the S-OFF devices and then let us do what we want. Why do we have to flash a ROM just to have perm root AND a glitch free phone?
I perm rooted via the methods in the new guide, but wound up being one of the losers that lost WIFI and had to flash back to my stock ROM.
Now I am back with temp root, ADW EX, and titanium backup. My phone is faster than I care for it to be. (I wouldnt notice any more speed). Id love to be able to turn off my phone and not have to go re-root and redo setcpu each time. Also, Id love to see Adfree work for a change.

Missing camera flash depends on new OC-kernel and is in all OC-roms

I feel sorry about your case, but your point is totally unrelated to this discussion. I like ADW and other vanilla launcher, but Sense has done a really good job on many different things (well, at the very least if someone could come up with the same flip clock, I will probably be moving back to non-Sense).

I've tried them all. The one by Sergio is the best.

Hey,
I’m currently flashed too Android Revolution HD 1.1.3, but I’m not sure wether to swap to LeeDroiD. Revolution HD is nice, but the built in SOC over clocker really don’t work well, the UI is as smooth as anything but in games and benchmarks the FPS and scores are so much lower in this revision!

Thanks for pointing this out. Restoring to official (nandroid backup). I'm gonna need flash soon.
I tried CoreDroid already. It's the most atractive, realy beautiful, but feels slower than official.

Lee's new update seems to have fixed most of the Lag on mine. Then again, I haven't tried the others...yet.
But the camera flash doesn't seem to be working yet, even on the new updated ROM.

I think you could fix that by flashing a stock Kernel.

I've tested Android HD and Virtuous, seems like Virtuous is a bit smoother and includes many nice tweaks.
I wish any of these sense rom will have the flexiblity like CM

insertCoin
I'm using insert coin at the moment and it seems really smooth and fast. I was looking around to see if there were any EVEN better. This ROM has the same issue with the camera flash which as someone said, is cause by the processor overclocking and is common to all OC kernels atm. Perhaps some of these custom ROMs may have correctly functioning flash with the Stock kernel?

I have tried all the ROMs on the development page and wasn't thrilled with any of them. I ended up going back to Tmos. The reason is that My Acct won't run if you are on Wifi but it can do that on the stock. As one of the previous posters pointed out, visual voicemail doesn't work. I also ran the Quadrant Standard and the performance was sub par. On the stock ROM, I get scores into the 2300s. With the others, I was getting scores between 1400 and 1900. Very pitiful for all the performance promises.

Hopefully within the next couple of weeks the ROMs should improve significantly, unto that point I’m going to switch from Revolution HD to LeeDroid.

Android Revolution HD at the moment. Single core over clock @1.8ghz smooth and fast. Here's my quadrant.

The Revolution HD 1.1.3 works well for now...until my next flash

I've only flash Revolution HD and the latest 1.1.3 update is even better. I won't bother flashing other ROMs until an AOSP one comes out, but this one is plenty fast at the moment. Quadrant scores don't mean anything to me.

is it possibile to just de-odex the stock tmobile us rom and theme a little, also tweak a little. i love the stock rom because everything is working every time i try a custom rom theres always a give or take like the camera flash not working and so on

Custom rom and Launcher

I just installed cyanogen 7 and just got all my apps and stuff back on it. I use Golauncher pro and it seems like they dont work very well together because most my widgets dont work and it seems slower. Does having a launcher defeat the purpose of having a custom rom? Any suggestions as to what to do after flashing a custom rom?

You are using a Custom Rom wich already is using a launcher (ADW Launcher), so I guess that they might not be compatible at the same time. You should read thoroughly the ROM features and changelog and then go to the specific Q&A Forum. Just find wich rom might be working with your launcher. CM7 and Absolution have ADW Launcher...

I'm still confused as to what i'm acutally getting by flashing a custom rom. Will I get better battery? is it supposed to be "snappier?" I'm kind of confused because I feel its the exact same...

If you don't notice the difference between cm7 and stock sense, then you might be better off with a dumbphone. The 2 roms are WORLDS apart.

Something doesnt feel right. Also my button at the bottom dont work now either except for the menu button. I dont know whats going on. Also should I be getting better battery life out of this?

As Pirateghost told you...it just depends what you are looking for. I have Sense 3.5 and many other tweaks that I didn't in the Stock rom.
CM7 Has many features from ICS and is absolutely different from a Sense Rom...is faster and simpler. If you don't like the experience of testing custom roms then you should go back to stock.

can anybody recommend me some good custom roms and what each one is good at?

Cm7 is built from the Android code without all of the bloat that comes with the Sense based Roms. Typically CMis quicker. I am running Absolution 3.3 which is based on the CM7 builds and it is by far the fastest ROM and best battery life I have gotten on any other ROM and I have tried many of them. I ran Go Launcher when I first got the Inspire and it made the phone so slow and the battery drain was pretty bad too. In fact it is what drove me to Root the phone in the first place.

I doubt go launcher was the main culprit in the battery drain of an unrooted phone...it was probably due to sense more then it was the go launcher ..... case in point I use go launcher on bindroid and absolution and absolution gives me about 6 hours more on one charge

Excellent point. I should have mentioned that it was only on the Sense ROM not ASOP. When I ran Go Launcher after rooting and getting off Sense, it was much better.
On a side note, I noticed you are from Philly. What radio are you using? I am just across the bridge in South Jersey and have been looking for radio options and given your involvement with Aboslution I value your opinion.

[Q] ROMs with Zero Issues?

So I haven't really been following the MyTouch4g Slide Rom scene that much and after going through some of the threads, my question is: are there any roms et with no issues/bugs?
I was thinking about finally rooting but I'm not sure if there's really any reason to yet as I'm not gonna install a ROM that still has issues...
Thanks

Right now Bulletproof is a go for a ROM where everything works. Cyanogenmod 9 is SOON to follow along with others. Take a look and read around tho. Major breakthroughs have been made and things are really looking up for us!

Try the new Miktouch 0.7 ROM. It is based on the latest OTA (1.63.531.2) and IMO is the most functional ROM available. And it is very smooth and quick, great battery life. The improvements that HTC made to the ROM, as well as the tweaking and cleaning up that the devs did, make it my daily driver. I want everything to work, no "gotchas".

Hello,
I can recommend Virtuous Inquisition to you. Its an ICS 4.0.3 ROM that I am running on my HTC Doubleshot since round 2 weeks and its really good! Till now I did not have any issues with anything but some minor things (once in a while you lose WiFi connection which you can enable again just by switching WiFi off and then on again. This happens only if you do not use WiFi and the phone falls sleep mode - the screen turns black).
The configurations are limitless. It comes with NOVA launcher. I bought the premium version and am very happy with the capabilities and possibilities it gave me!
In case you want HTC Sense, you can check out Virtuous Primadona. I did not try this one but read quite many reviews and its also stable and seem to be running nicely on Doubleshot.
The good thing on Inquisitin is, the WiFi calling is integrated. As I am from Switzerland it took me a while to finlly remove it ^^
Cheers

huh that sounds great. i really don't care about sense so i'd be fine using nova. is the 4.0.3 version noticeably smoother than the 2.3 that comes normally? i would think it would be but also because its an older phone i'm not sure...

I have been using Bulletproof for months now, and have seen no issues what so ever. Everything works, including Wifi Calling! I have tried alot of the roms here, but I need my rom to be perfect, that is why I keep coming back to bulletproof. I am hoping CM9 will soon become perfect enough for me so I can upgrade to ICS, but it still isn't perfect enough for me. Go with bulletproof.

But if the Wi-Fi continuously disconnects when the screen goes off and must be reawakened to work, that really defeats much of the function of Wi-Fi Calling. How can you receive calls if your wi-fi is disconnected?

I agree that is why I stopped using inquisition...... I am happily using cm9 but if you want three zero problem roms then stock I suggest mik mik v.7, for a beast gingerbread the rubix ics splashed, or if you want ics with minimal issues then cm9 untill the soft keyboard issue is fixed on aokp then I would switch to that.... I am going to do the same once the issue is solved

Which Pyro? 1.1.3 and 1.1.1 work pretty good except for a few annoyances....but those annoyances have work-arounds.

Hi sorry for the late answer, I am on my finals right now and it's getting harder to find time...
Virtuous seem to have some issues with wifi, though I was talking with tbalden and he said he's working on kernel 3 atm which shows no issues with wifi or 3G / 4G... So let's wait for the next upgrade
For me wifi works good, sometimes it bugs a bit though... Don't forget here they are stil in ROM development so some minor things are not perfect.
You can still try Virtuous Primadonna, got an update a few days ago. For me Cm9 did not work so good, force closing many apps, changed back to inquisition. I suppose we'll have to wait for another month or so to get a rc rom (Cm9, pyro, virtuous or another..)

BulletProof is a great ROM. Along that same design idea is DoubleShot Lite by Ceede. Another you might be interested in is Miui v0.3 and those are just the Gingerbread ROMs I've found to be rocksolid and near flawless. Then you have some really nice ICS ROMs that are coming along NICELY! Believe me, you won't be dissappointed with any of them unless you just happen to be looking for a little issue hidden somewhere.

So tbalden released kernel 3 vinq (ICS 4.0.3) for doubleshot: virtuous.prp2.com/doubleshot/inquisition/virtuous_inquisition-v4.0.2-doubleshot-kernel3_v2.zip
Very recommendable, everything working, very stable, oc to 1.7ghz like Cm9...
As wifi is working also w/o any issues now (at least for me), I assume you can use wifi-calling with vinq... It's integrated btw.
Hope I could help you

[Q] Best Rom for MT4GS

Hi I just bought my MT4GS a couple of days ago, I upgraded from a Mytouch 3g (SuperCSVI 4.0), I also want to modify this phone. Im looking for a rom that is stable, depenable, and fast. The development forms dosn't seem to be makeing much progress with jellybean other than wildchilds VanillaBean. Also I would help alot if it were Sense 4+. Can anybody help?

Its like this man, straight and to the point without being mean. You are not going to find ANY 100% solid ROM that no one has a complaint over. We have 2 ROMS based on Stock OTA Updates that's it. Everything else is a port of this or that or a build from source.
So you ask what do I gain if ROM X has this broken and ROM XX has this broken, well we have gained 2 updates past what HTC wanted us to have along with many more features, all while losing 1080 recording only.

I love Sense. For me, the Sense ROMS like VI or MikXE (the one I'm running now) are far more stable and capable than CM9.

They both have their virtues but I'm like you and do love sense. I'm pretty impartial when it comes to either. I just enjoy being amazed at the capabilites of the developers' works that we all take advantage of and yet often critisize. I know I couldn't do what they do.

Where can I find this kernel? I'm looking and am not finding it. I'm trying to mimic your "everything works" setup and I think I've gotten what you said to get except for the kernel. I currently have 3.0.17-Don2x-gecb4581 and am experiencing the following two problems which seem to be very possibly kernel-related (otherwise I wouldn't bother):
1) Device randomly reports no signal when it should have a signal (either toggling Airplane Mode or a reboot always fixes this). Clearly, in this state, data, voice, and SMS do not work, which is quite problematic.
2) Battery randomly reports ~half of the capacity that it's really at (rebooting always fixes this). It's kinda strange - charging it overnight will only charge to 49%. But once you reboot it then it's magically at ~95%. (Yes, I've cleared battery stats.) And it seems to be fairly sporadic - doesn't always do this. Like I said, it's strange...
Also, what baseband should I be on? It's currently reporting 11.59.3504.00P_11.16.3504.20_2.
Lastly, for my "Build number", even though I've flashed the 1.35 beta 1 zip and running the OTA update APK, it still reports as "Virtuous Infinity v1.33.0 Alpha3". Is this right? Seems strange to me. Running the OTA Update apk again states that "The ROM developer has not enabled support for the OTA Updater! Please ask them (kindly) to add support before using this app! (otaupdater.otaid value empty or missing)".
If I've done something wrong, all of the above are the indications of such mistakes. Many thanks!

I don't know what happened unless you maybe got a corrupt download. The Mirrors, Tools.... thread in my sign. will give you another DL site. Post #3 Developer #2
That's the same Radio I have except mine is "00U" instead of "00P" . And that is the way the build reads on mine too. I think the Alpha designation tells the tale tho. Just try a full wipe and a reflash of new DL's. This has been one of the smoothest most solid ROMs I've run once it was patched. I HAVE heard of a couple of phones that didn't seem to like the all inclusive patch though. You might try just flashing those patches as a problem arises and you may get better responses from them. Kinda just a guess tho....

When I want fast, and stable, I go with Virtuous Inquisition. That one has the best day to day user experience for me. The only thing I miss with that ROM is the 1080P camcorder, and my stock camera with face detection, and burst shot that works etc.. The Brute Force TV Out add on is definitely not as good as the stock TV out and I miss that when using the Inquisition ROM as well. However, Inquisition is such a nice user experience that I use is often and keep a good nandroid of it. Even the hardware keyboard works the way I want it to include the Alt and CAPs lights.
When I really want to carry that good camera around and have TV out so I can bring Netflix to a friend's house that doesn't have Netflix, I still find myself booting up Bulletproof 1.0 (Before the green invasion). In that ROM I replaced all the pink apps with the "de-pinked" ones (Lockscreen, Contacts, Messages, Calendar etc.), changed the color of the pink message bubbles (ya know the ones that pop up with a number to tell you how many unread texts you have) to blue and I find this ROM to be nice stable user experience with some extra tweaks and extended power menu thanks to the groundwork laid out by RomanBB and then carried on by Blue6IX.
I'm keeping an eye on the MikTouch ROM based on the updated OTA stock ROM. That is a very smooth stock experience and I really appreciate that the developer (developers?) are still giving the Stock ROM some love and I feel it has great potential for those who don't want to lose ANY of the features that made this phone worth buying in the first place. Personally, I feel the hardware keyboard, camera, and TV out were the main reasons I bought this phone and I'm not willing to give those features up and switch to any other ROM full time regardless of how cool they look or how smooth they run.
I think the hard work by all the developers trying to give MT4GS more enhancements and options is amazing stuff and much appeciated, but Bulletproof and Inquisition are still my favorites at the moment. Unfortunately, neither project sees any further development so take it as it is, don't take it at all, or see what you can do to make them better for yourself.
Oh and if you want the ROM with the best battery life, it's the one with a Mugen 3600 battery...just sayin'. I have no complaints about battery life of any ROM with Mugen under the hood.
[UPDATE] MIkTouch is now my favored stock ROM choice.

Exactly. The only thing that was stopping me from using the CM7 Alpha was that the SD card wouldn't read.

well in regard to this post. i installed Jelly Bean(Vanilla Bean) rom on to mt4gs last night it has good potentioal but it is lackiing in alot places. i was previously using cyanogenmod9 alpha6 i believe and before i was using virtous 1.33 Alpha 3. however i wanted to know in your professional opinions are there any roms for MT4GS i should try. side note jelly bean is fast but cant use stock android keyboard, so i had to download from market those siine and swift keyboard apps to work also the rom is very twitchy. my mt4gs is with S-On. any opinions are welcome thank you.

One of those is a beta and one an alpha. Great work but not quite complete. There are several really great ROMs out there waiting to be tried. All you hvae to do is make a backup of the one you're on and check a few out. Try a few that are actual releases (you should be able to tell from the title) and see what you like.

Why you don't use this rom:
Leaked ROM 1.63.531.2 / Radio 11.59.3504.00_11.16.3504.20_2: (Full PG59IMG.zip)
form here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254518
To S-Off go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17424340&postcount=24
or you can use this form virtuosrom:
[MT4GS][ROM][21-05-2012][Virtuous Primadonna v1.17.0 Alpha 3] Sense 4A - 4.0.3
Anyway, install Titanium backup and remove what u want; thats all.

Hi I just bought my MT4GS a couple of days ago, I upgraded from a Mytouch 3g (SuperCSVI 4.0), I also want to modify this phone. Im looking for a rom that is stable, depenable, and fast. The development forms dosn't seem to be makeing much progress with jellybean other than wildchilds VanillaBean. Also I would help alot if it were Sense 4+. Can anybody help?

Ive been searching for a solid rom since I got my phone in late November. Out of the 6 or so roms I have downloaded the most common problems are.
1) Software keyboard doesnt work.
2) USB File copying either doesnt work, requires a paid app or is very slow.
3) Battery drains faster or wont fully charge.
4) GPS becomes hit or miss
5) Support for promising roms suddenly stop, making you wait for someone else to port another rom which has almost the same sort of problems.
Most of the roms are stable, they are missing some critical things.

[Q] Best debloated mt4gs ICS Rom that works 100%?

1-) Sick of GB and Im not a huge Sence fan, although I can live with it if needed... Is JB possible? Working 100%?
2-) HBOOT 1.45.0013, S-ON, & I don't really feel like doing any wiretrick, although I will if needed, is this still the best way to go?
edit #1: CM9 installed! (flashed boot.img with fastboot), back button doesnt work on front of phone.. researching..

Wipe dalvik, wipe cache then flash Gapps. That's fixed it in several instances.

Or use jellybam or pacman

Eh he wants ICS not JellyBean. I may go on a scattered search to see if either ROM has an ICS counterpart though

Trying JellyBAM. Camera crashes the phone when flash goes off (although flashlight works fine). My corporate mail/calendar account also can't access the right security settings, so I'm crippled for work purposes. If you use these features, consider something other than JellyBAM.
Tried PACman but switched. Don't recall why, now. Maybe I'll try it again. . . .

PACman and JellyBAM have the same base and kernel so you will have the same issues connecting to work email.
I've seen other users post this about the camera flash crashing things, but I was never able to recreate it. So I just summed it up to an improper wipe/flash. No one has offered any kind of logs either to go along with said crashes, but that's not saying it will help because again we can't recreate these issues during testing.

MT4GS ICS ROM that works 100%? It doesn't exist.

Scverhagen's CM9.1 releases have far fewer issues in my opinion than the MyTouch Stock gingerbread 2.3.4. I'm still running r7.

Inaccurate exaggeration is nobody's friend. It's a nice ROM, sure, but saying it has less issues than stock? You just lost any further credibility.

Happens to be my opinion based on my own personal experience however. And will remain so.

I'm kinda like you david, I consider a ROM 100% when it runs 100% of the things I have to have or need. I realize it can't be like that for everyone but for those that it is, it allows a person to enjoy WAY more ROMs. JMO.....

But when I read reviews of a ROM, maybe I'm wanting to try it but trying to determine what things other people are encountering. Someone who says, "This ROM is perfect! Everything works!" but then I find out that, no, everything doesn't work and even they later admit that "some things aren't working but I can overlook that", well, that totally invalidates the entire thread. How am I to trust anything that person writes about anything else? Yes, we have subjective opinions about ROMs, but it does nobody any favor to exaggerate the abilities of a ROM. If you tell me a ROM is perfect and "better than stock", then I have some extra high expectations.

I understand completely. But there is more to a declaration of perfection than the statement itself. It would depend on who makes it and their knowledge of different ROMs but to me it just means it's damn close. I usually find out the details when I run it myself. That's when I'm reminded that nothing is perfect. Even the original developers don't distribute perfection and there is a HUGE well paid team of them.
I can appreciate anyone's expectations of a shared original ROM or a port to be one of perfection but that usually means the person with those expectations just doesn't realize all that's involved. People have to remember that this is more a personally fulfilling "hobby" than their vocation.

My biggest frustration is people wanting something that works 100%. Compared to what? Stock? Half the time the "Stock" ROMs have their own issues. That's why we root and ROM, to improve the experience over Stock.
What features do you want? What's your opinion of 100%? Sense? AOSP?
Hell, even the title of the thread isn't 100% accurate. There isn't an official ICS ROM, so there can't be a debloated version. And the word "Best" implies that there are at least 2 ICS Roms that work 100%....

Exactly This.
In even the best ICS "closest to what factory would be" ROM I've found (Virtuous Primadonna), 1080p recording, WiFi calling, and tethering were borked. To me 100% means 100% as in all options the phone came with work and not having options taken away.
MikTouch is still the best I've found. Once the Xperia ZL drop for purchase I'm bailing on my MT4GS. I absolutely love this phone, but I hate HTC with a burning of a thousand suns for bailing on this phone which was supposed to be a flagship device.

wifi calling works on ALL ics roms. there is a workaround for tethering involving barnacle and open garden. so that leaves 1080p recording

Did you flash the wifi calling patch and push gan optimizer.apk to system apps?
