Hey there i just picked up this phone and within 2 hours i can already tell i need a custom rom, the stock rom is just driving me nuts so much bloatware and the phone lags doing simple things like weather animation after unlocking..
Can anyone recommend the best SENSE stock rom with the least lag (not really a fan of OCing as it usually means worser battery life)
So many roms that I'm confused at which one to try.
Thank you.
As this isn't development, it should be in the Q&A section.
The roms that seem to be closest to stock are probably Android Revolution and LeeDroid. They are overclockable, but you can just run the cpu at std speeds if you so wish.

Thank you for your quick reply, thinking of trying the leedroid as he is a reputable developer.
CrystalPyramid is another good one. I switched to that from leedroid as it uses lee's kernel and I find it to be slightly smoother

Get the InsertCoin 2.3.4 Stable build 1.2. It is amazingly fast without any overclocking. Everything works, and it really is faster than anything else out there.

Android Revolution HD is amazing and Mike the dev offers great support!

In my opinion Pyrimid3D is the best ROM going around, and Ive tried quite a few.
Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206746
Be sure to vote for it if u like, and donations are always welcome.
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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
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.

Hi guys
I'm from the HTC EVO 3D section of the forum and I know this question is usually frowned upon but recently my sister's phone (Sensation XE) has become laggy as hell and very buggy. She's come from an iphone and is not used to this kinda stuff and has no idea about rooting/custom roms, etc. So I have offered to borrow her phone for a day or two and root it/put on a custom ROM for her which will hopefully sort out these problems and give credence to my claim that Android is better than iOS.
The reason I'm asking this question is because I just don't have the time to test out different ROMS. I need to root it and put one on as soon as pos and then give the phone back to her. (She doesn't live with me so I can't be changing ROMS all the time for her, and she needs her phone urgently)
What I am looking for is recommendations on a very fast and stable ROM with good battery life? Preferably Sense 4.0 but if that is too buggy/battery hog, then I'm fine with Sense 3.6. Just need it to be snappy and as stable as possible because I won't be around much to tweak it and sort out loadza problems if they arise in the future.
Thanks in advanced for your help.
Sense 4.0 looks good but it's not very good with battery (i get max 7-8 hours from it). So i'd recommend a Sense 3.6 ROM.
My favourite and the most stable one i know is ARHD

If you want a stable and really fast room either use a de-sensed ROM or use insert coin

Hi there, It's really best to have your sister try out SEVERAL different roms then make a choice.we have so many great roms to choose from and is really a matter of personal taste as to which one to use .do her a favor and let her experience different ones and choose what she liked best ! I'm running viper right now and I love the customization options, but it's always best to try out SEVERAL then have her choose. Hope this helps. Best wishes to you both I do hope you take this advice. It's really best to form your own personal opinion when it comes to roms.

Vipers 1.1.0 is the best sense 4.0 rom out there.It has great tweaks and it is stable.your sis may not like cm9 or aokp.Go for viper
Viper or a few other sense 4 roms are a good choice...
Cheers for the help guys.. Will be sure to check those roms out.
@ realsis - Cheers for the suggestion, and I know what you mean, but in this case it is extremely unlikely to happen. She doesn't have the time or desire in testing out loadza different roms. This is probably why the iphone is better for most people because you're given a fast and simple OS, and everything just works and is super smooth. Most people are happy with that and rightly so. Personally I'll spend ages looking for the "perfect" rom, but the reality is that most people just don't care.
No pun intended but also lack the experience in flashing rom's and kernel I would suggest a rooted stock Rom for now and let her play around with so she will get used to it and then later on go a little more advanced and then let her take it out for spin to see how she likes it oh keep in mind even on a rooted stock Rom there's no lag like it is on a stock Rom that isn't rooted and for the kernel check out this one for the kernel and there's mod that go's with it as well im running it now and its awesome here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432211

The fastest, smoothest ROM is Mike 1887's Android Revolution HD's. She can also have Beats Audio with the ROM.
TouchCream is the best, fastest and smoothest of them all! Just click on the banner in my signature
Word of warning: viperS is a great sense 4 ROM, its wonderful, but install a different kernel. The bricked kernel that comes with the ROM causes it to lag. The viper thread is filled with people suffering lag on it. I suggest seb's (link in Sig) or faux123's. Faux's forces both cpu's online so it may be a bit worse for battery, but I can't make that call, others seem to do well with it.
If you still have doubts, ARHD sense 3.6 will give the best stock appearance without the lag.

May have to go for that one then. Like I said, she has no interest in swapping around and flashing ROMS, so it'll very much likely be a one time job with no testing of others.
As it is your sisters phone and you don't want to constantly be messing with it and her having issues with it. I'd recommend Android Revolution HD. It is the closest thing you can get to the stock ROM. It's fast and smooth.

My sister's phone is stock ICS and the HBOOT is 1.29.0000... the guides I've read seem to be for earlier HBOOTs
Is there a way to get a custom ROM on the 1.29.0000 version?
Thanks.

Guides that's say 1.27 HBoot are in fact for 1.2x hboots... So 1.29 still comes under 1.2x right?

The most functional speedy stable rom is energy rom sense 3.6 its little bit old but works perfect..
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
tl;dr Most stable ROM in your opinion?
There are a variety of ROMS for our HTC Sensations. Some solid builds, others experimental. I tried a CM10 ROM earlier, for the first time and thought it was quite amazing. Project Butter is SO noticeable. I fell in love with it pretty quickly, but the battery life and stability are a real turn off, but of course without official source code we make due, right?
In your experience, what is the most stable ROM you have tried? I know each dev works hard, but we all know some ROMs are simply better than others for difference reasons, both subjective and objective. For me, the most stable ROM is ARHD. No matter what else I try I always find myself coming back to it because it works the best of all the ROMs I've tried.
I think Android Revolution HD is the most stable and it's the best ROM battery wise i've ever tried too.
Stability wise and virtually bug free I would have to say elegancia with sense 3.6

I would recommend MIUI, from miuiandroid.com
It's very different to stock, however, but that's what I love about it
Best battery life I've ever had was with virtuous inquisition....
Most stable, well that's a hard call because I've used many stable roms. I cannot really say which was more stable than the other because I've never really had too much trouble with stability.... Several have proven to be very stable....its different opinions for everyone and I can't really choose one in particular...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Most of our great chefs roms are stable, especially if out of beta!
I would recommend either Android Revolution HD or ViperS if you want Sense 4.1. Both I have found to be stable and have very good battery life.
ARHD with faux kernel 009b4

and also HyperNonSense
Seeing that there are many options to choose from, I guess than a poll may help us decide. Which ROM are you using now. Are you happy with it and would you suggest it to others?
i'm using the stock one as it shows in my signature.i'm very happy with it
there is no need to suggest it to every one else because everybody has seen it:silly:

I am using bruces CM10 ROM. Working great!
I'm on DragunKorr's Paranoid Android 2.11.
Buttery as hell and i love the hybrid modes. It's not 100% working yet, but the missing elements are so minor that they don't affect me for how I use my phone.
If I weren't using this, I'd be on Bruce's CM10. He really set the standard there with that one and it's only cos I love the hybrid modes that I'm not using it.
Both ROMs have breathed new life into my phone - finally, the full power of the sensation has been realised!!!
pyromod CM9 here, pretty stable and fast. Good battery life too. I would definitely suggest it.
On Bruce's cmx and enjoying it very much very pleased that the CRT animations are fully functioning and the stock SMS app had pop ups now like hand cent does ^^ once they manage to get the front facing camera functioning I will never leave it I have also used berserk mode on by memnoc which I thought was very nice but the fact that I couldn't use wii remotes through Bluetooth on my emulators pushed me to full aosp not too sure where I am going with this aside from Bruce's cmX is highly recommended by me :thumbup: front facing camera and usbotg is all we need now
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
What about battery life, how is it?
I've tried several different roms. Virtuous Inquisition is good but it was giving me wrong battery reading, kept jumping up and down and I couldn't tell how much battery I had. CM9 is nice but the front facing camera doesn't work (at least on the versions I've tried). CM10 Jelly Bean by Bruce is great but it's unfinished, a couple of things are not working (front facing camera for 1).
I'm on ViperS 1.2.1 right now and I LOVE it. The rom is pretty fast and stable. I enjoy the tweaks the devs have put on it a lot. Battery life is pretty decent. I got around 18 hours on average use.
I think if you want speed and smoothness, go for the CM or AOSP builds, they beat all other in that department. I personally enjoy Sense 4 so I go with Viper S.
I used HyperNonSense for 5 months and just flashed Android Revolution HD an hour ago, no reason other than trying new rom
you have not forgotten anything? smartdroid daemon sense 4? I do not see
Used OpenSensation for some time and was very satisfied except that many icons and fonts are just too small for me. Switched to Anroid Revolution HD 6.7.2 and I love it.
Battery life is just average I think. Since I disabled Wifi, I can live with it.

Hi there, I'm using Viper Rom. I am happy with it! The update had made it much better I do have some weird issues sometimes like Bluetooth turning on by itself but for me that's about the only negative issue I'm experiencing. I do like the customization and really like sense 4.1. I would like to see better battery life from the Rom.but I'm now using sebastian kernel with mod and a slight under volt plus a new mugen battery and I've actually managed to stay on 100% for three hours! Thank God! So hopefully the battery issue is solved. But all in all for the people who like sense roms, yes I would recommend viper. Hope this information helps some how and I wish you the best!

I use Viper 1.3.0
Major categories of custom ROM according to me are -
Sense based - sense 4.0 based or
Sense 3.6 based
sense 4 based
Eg viper, insertcoin, ordroid etc
Sense 3.6 based -
Eg arhd, elegancia, etc
IPhone look - MIUI
Samsung look - cyanogen mod
Plain android - AOKP/AOSP Based
I have very less experience on these. I prefer sense based.
