Which roms are the best and must be tested ?
I need your opinion.
ARHD, no doubt.
i cannot tell you which rom is the best one, all of our devs are awesome, and it is rude for us to compare roms.
i am using coindroid now, and it is really great.
They're all differently catered to each users own needs, really. Personally, I'm always torn between whether or not I want Sense or not. So i've moved between Elegancia 4.0 and Virtuous Inquisition. I enjoy the ablitity to have standard ICS, because it's definitely a bit quicker in some instances. I sometimes get better battery life, and the menus aren't cluttered with two settings (one for sense, one for ICS.) Sense is very good looking, however. The Widgets set your phone apart and its hard to beat the aesthetics of Sense.
That being said, I've used ARHD and to suggest it is anything but fantastic is foolish. Great battery life, great customization, very stable.
The devs here are great and they all bring something to the table.

There really isn't a best or worse Rom. They all have pros and cons. Some are more popular than others. Some people like sense, and some more AOSP like. 3.6 sense Roms are more stable than 4.0. Aosp like roms are faster and more battery friendly, but they are also more bland in my opinion (I like sense). Most of the 3.6 Roms are pretty stable and efficient. ARHD is great and stable and with lots of support, and it is also the most popular one and it is not themed at all (looks just like stock). The one I'm using now is Elegancia which is also great and stable with great support and heavily themed look that I for one enjoy. Insertcoin (also good) has the stock look but has some additional mods like Leedroid tweaks and battery percentage. These three are probably the most popular ones.
Like I said there really isn't a better or worse. It comes down to what you want and like.
right now i`m using virtuous inqusition . Is a great rom, nothing bad yet.

No offense meant to the op but I really hate these kind of threads. Besides the fact that there are approx. a billion and one threads with the same question, there is never an answer. Everybody likes different things and everybody will recommend what they themselves use. Personally I've got no use for ARHD but tons of people seem to like it. I've tried AOKP roms and like them but I actually miss having Sense so currently I'm on InsertCoin.
Try it all, that's what each and every one of these "what is the best..." threads ends up with. And just a suggestion for anybody else considering a "what's the best rom" thread....maybe use search and add to one of the already started threads?

Don't like stock HTC Rom like ARHD
I suggest an InsertCoin or a SmartDroid Resurrection for the Sense 3.6 side

I've been using Insert Coin for a while til I shifted to CoinDroid recently to check Sense 4 out. I suggest InsertCoin with Sense 3.6. But you have to try all to choose what is best for you
Try a few is the best for u...happy flashing!
Only you can decide which is the best rom for you, but I would recommend Insert Coin for Sense 3.6, and Ordoid for Sense 4.0. Although there are still bugs with all sense 4.0 roms atm, like you cant send files over bluetooth atm.
I use OpenSensation, very good ROM

These threads are always very subjective.. everyone will say that a particular ROM is better and everyone else will argue with that.
It all depends on what you like and what you feel will best suit your daily activities.

what is the difference between sense 3.0 and 3.5? and which one was on the stock sensation 4g?
3.0 came on sensation 4g
i think that we needed a new platform to support these new senses 3.0 and 3.5
InsertCoin is the best ROM for the Sensation hands down. Performance and battery life is outstanding.

This is funny!
I would say you try by yourself and decide for yourself, Everyone has different opinions and will probably give you their own personal perspective.
You might have a different opinion and like something else or maybe not. just flash the most used ones and see if you like them and go from there.

I agree with this guy here as opposed to the other two members. I've tried BOTH roms listed and they're basically the same. Just very ever so slightly different. I used to use ARHD but then I started using other roms because Mike doesn't update his often. InsertCoin gets updated pretty good but I experience issues once in a while (it's nothing severe though) and it's not a bad rom at all. I'm using bulletproof though because I love all the mods he adds on. It's really up to you, gotta try and find out what you want and like.
Agree that it's up to you to try, test, tune, etc what's best for your needs & likes! Take a deep read in the Development section...happy flashing!
CM7 is the best rom on sensation by far.
CM7.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
I started using custom ROMs with my G1 and CyanogenMod. I stuck with that exclusively for a really long time through different devices. Since it has taken a while for CM to come out on the Sensation, I started flashing all kinds of different ROMs. That's the beauty of Android and XDA. You can try all kinds of stuff out and decide what you like the best. I currently use Android Revolution HD 4.1.3 (Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5) with the Amaze camera. I'll use this until a stable version of CM comes out with a better camera. I also use ADW.Ex launcher. This works for me for now because it has a really nice camera, but I've tried a TON of ROMs. Whatever you do, ALWAYS search for answers, use the appropriate forums (General, Q&A, Themes & Apps) properly, and have fun.

I don't want to give recommedations since there are a couple of awsome mods floating out there...
If you like Sense and eye pleasing colours and animations go with CoreDroid. Wipe battery stats when you flash a new rom (made a big difference for me).
So who thinks that we will be the first to have 4.0 on our phones....
Sent From My HTC Sensation 4G
Since the Sensation line is the first to get the ICS update, I am guessing that it might be the first to get the Sense 4.0 update as well.
No way its gonna be rolled out together with ICS
I think, that we will not get Sense 4 (with ICS). When I asked HTC on Facebook - they said, that we will get Sense 3.5 with ICS.
So, are they any screenshots about how Sense 4.0 will look like?
I was a sense defender, but I've trying the Virtuous Inquisition ROM for about a week now, and AOSP is really good, it looks nice too. I just miss a couple of things like flipping the phone to shut the ringer, the volume being turned down after taking it outside your pocket...

Thanks, looks nice! I'm sure Android Revolution team will adopt it as soon it is released , Maybe I will give Sense another try then

Well we must bear in mind that 3.6 nor 4.0 is officially released. We'll see it when we get there but I seriously hope to taste some official ICS + Sense 4
I'm pretty sure we will get it, but dunno when. But if the screen is already leaked out... I think it is not too far until mike suddenly post a news about oncoming new ROM
What I'm not sure is the quality of it. because from sense 2 to sense 3, the design is like overhauled. But seeing from the screen shots, I see no significant design improvement. (but of course it has functional improvement)

what do you mean by he?
So even though HTC claims that Sense 4.0 is lightly skinned compared to older versions, why can't our Sensations not be able to run it? Wanted to see what others thought. I doubt that a phone needs a snapdragon s4 processor to run it. I'm thinking it's to try to get people to buy a new One model. It just rubs me the wrong way if this is the case.
This is all bloody marketing strategy to encourage people to buy there new phone. In my opinion sensation is capable of running sense4.0 . When they introduced sense 3 with our sensation they said same thing DHD will not be able to run sense 3 due to hardware. But now all dhd users are running even sense 3.5

Have a look in their respective threads in the Development sub forum since you'll get many more opinions there.
But I can say they're probably as good as 3.6 ROM's now in terms of speed and responsiveness. Battery life is as good if not better too.
They're definitely worth a try IMO.
I'm running Ordroid with sense 4 and its smooth...
i was used ordroid and it has no major problems, only hdmi output not working. it has no glitches and the developer works hard to improve rom. it's the second most used rom in forum, so many users can not be wrong, am i right?
I currently use 2 Rome, Arts for my daily use, and Elegancia for playing with sense 4. Elegancia is currently both stable and pretty

I have been using the Sense 4.0 ROM on my Sensation XE for over a month now. I am using Ordroid 8.2 ROM currently, and my phone has never felt better. The battery life has increased very significantly, it is more responsive and feels faster while using it on a daily basis. I would recommend flashing a Sense 4.0 ROM to everyone out there. Gives you so much more out of your phone!
Damn you HTC, XDA Developers LIKE A BOSS.
thanks for the responses. well i gave ordroid 8.2 a try. i have to say yes it is comparable to sense 3.6 in terms of speed and responsiveness. except rosie isnt as smooth when moving through your homescreens, even with ultra smooth rosie by default. i also missed the huge amount of tweaks i had from monarx sense 3.6 tweaks. but it looks like ordroid 8.5 may have all of them now. will wait for reviews. also i dont like the new completely dark keyboard (too dark )

Ordroid! I love it! It's so close to perfect! Only thing is tethering does not work however that's fixed with a simple play store application! Making Ordroid absolutely perfect! If you like customization you'll love Ordroid! I've tried all the others and in my opinion, ordroid is by far the very best . I suggest you try out a few different Roms and see what Rom fits your personal taste. Everyone is different and has different opinions. See what fits you the best. In the long run it won't matter what others think x just what you like and what makes you happy! For me ordroid 9.0.0 is that Rom. However you might choose differently. It's important you try them out yourself . Best wishes and happy flashing!

I would say Pkmn rom with sense 4.0 is best for customisation, the amount of tweaks available is staggering, along with great performance
For me it would have to be Virtuous Inquisition. I wasn't a fan of Sense 3.6 and prefer the stock ICS look, tho Sense 4 looks amazing and I have yet to try a ROM running it. I'll probably try PkMn eventually but I'm loving VI right now!
As requested by a lot of ROM chefs please dont compare ROM's as it can be rude and offensive to chefs
