I bought this phone amd it came with a custom rom of sense 4.0 whats the best guide to get it back to stock so that i can take the official ics 3.6 sense update
Why would you do that, that is a horrible idea just put a ROM you like on if you want stock then use ARHD don't go to stock dude you will regret it and it's hard to get back I will think less of you if you continue this path

Bull****
The easiest way is to download the latest RUU from the Shipped Rom thread. Run this and you will be stock again. You will still be S-OFF, so in the future you can still flash custom roms if you want.

I got my sensation last week. It's rooted, and clockwork is already installed on it. I had CM7 on it for about 5 minutes, but I liked the Sense UI better so I just went back to stock because I didn't have time to look for a SENSE Custom ROM.
I'm wondering if it's worth it to go off stock and go to a Custom Sense ROM? I saw Android Revolution HD, and I think the only step I'm missing is that Radio S-OFF.
Anyways, is it worth it to go to a Custom ROM or just stay stock? It's pure preference probably, but pros, cons kind of thing I'm leaning towards yes because I like that ARHD 1.5ghz oc. =)
Im using ARHD 3.6.0 and im loving it.
Better battery, snappier, plus you can flash themes and mods
I would definitely go with any custom rom over stock.
If you rooted with revulutionary you are good to go (already have radio S-OFF)
i like Sense 3.0 but CM7 have more performance
just got my sensation yesterday and played around all day in stock just to get a good feel for it before going to a custom rom which was a definite. i went for android revolution and it's definitely snappier. apps load faster, and the ones that access the web seem to do it faster too.

I didn't root using the methods of revolutionary. If I want to install Revolutionary how would I go about it? I can safely install CM7 already. I still have to do that Radio S-OFF don't I?
Is it just me or does the use of the word "snappier" as in, "it feels snappier now" make you feel that it really isn't much of a difference? When I used to want to tout the speed of some device or app I would say it was faster but I would use the word "snappy" if I couldn't really justify the use of the word "fast".
That being said, when I moved onto the Sensation I tried to go through all the hoops to get off stock but then realized it was just a waste of time considering my Sensation is perfectly fast and stable as is.

Follow this method to get S-OFF, from what I read it also RADIO-OFF's for you as well. Its what I did to flash rev. HD

That's the method I used to S-OFF. Is it the same as Revolutionary's Radio S-OFF?
Try pyramid3d. Its a good rom

Hi guys!
Have been thinking a long time about rooting my Sensation, but havent done it yet cus 4.0 is comming up in the end of march. But it got me thinking, when 4.0 comes out and I conclude. That it sucks, will i be avible to root it and innstall custom rom kernel on it? Or do I have to wait until the devs have done som magic?
Thanks for pros cons on this, and thanks for this great forum - allways fun reading!
I say root it now. Once ics comes out devs will have it right away and youbwill have a syabke ica

same thought and when a stable ruu of sense 4.0 comes out and you like it(test it with normal kernel no custom for good test)you can s-on again and u have it tested and u can make it undone always remeber to look up ur ruu first!
anyone got a link with the htc sensation europa ruu of the stock 2.3.4?
All the custom ICS ROMs based on RUU 3.30.4 and 3.30.401 are very stable, fast, smooth and reliable. Sense 3.6 is a bit nicer than 3.0 or 3.5, so there's an advantage there as well.
When (if) Sense 4.0 comes out for Sensation, you'll be ready to go, we will probably get it before the general public anyway.
If you do root and want to go to an Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3/Sense 3.6) make sure you read the threads relating to upgrading firmware etc., you can get stuck, or even brick your phone if you don't follow the instructions to the letter.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21989063&postcount=1
Good luck and don't forget to have some fun.
P.
Take the plunge!
All the ICS roms out now are pretty stable and there are a lot of guides that will help you get to that moment. Make sure to READ AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING before you do anything to your phone!
yeh. we will have a stable sense 4.0 here in a month or so.
as of now. there is 2 sense 4.0 roms. and MODS dont bash me for this.
Trips rom and Mdeejay's rom. from what i read. trip has almost everything working. and mdeejay's rom is getting there. my 2 cents
If I just root my phone but still use the stock ROM (no change, mods whatsoever) can I still receive the OTA update without problem?

Probably not. If you are interested in the OTA I think you may be better off staying stock, unrooted.
If you do root, odds are you would have to get the updated RUU yourself and run it.
If you were planning on staying with stock ROMs and kernels, rooting is not a good idea, if only for the warranty issues.

Bad choice, dude, for a first time rooter.
Read thru XDA. This is the largest group of Android development reviewers on the planet.
My recommendation would be InsertCoin 4.6.1.
The S4X build will be stable in a couple more iterations. The Virtuous Team is working hard on it.

Those are stable and fantastic, too.
Once you work with stable-r (err...) ROMs, your confidence in ROMs will grow, and you can explore the others.

i was staying with ARHD for to long, i would try a nonsense rom first to let you see what your phone is relly capable of. mine can have 300 mb ram free wjen not using my phone and read my sig why i sometimes need the 150 mb ram eating sense to go away
stock htc ics without root would suck anyways. ads and bloat galore
If you guys remember we got the sense 3 update leaked long before we expected it. I wonder if this will be the same for the ICS update. Anyone wonder if we will get a stable rom before the official release
It depends. We need people to leak the ruu

You won't get an official HTC OTA update on a rooted phone with a Custom ROM... and if somehow you do manage to get one while on a Sense ROM, DO NOT flash it... you'll end up in a bootloop.
As far as getting to use it, you'll get it on XDA much before people on stock ROMs (if history is anything to go by...). Hell, I think you might be running Sense 4 before HTC decides to give you Sense 3.6 officially.
Google search for details.

Yeah I think we will get 4.0 before 3.6!
I'm sure the RUU for the One V will be out before our RUU for ICS.
Can't wait

I don't have that problem but if you want to go back to gingerbread then just downgrade your firmware and use ARHD gingerbread ROM its smooth as hell way better than stock its very strange have you tried setting up a new account when you first boot the rom
Sent from my HTC sensation 4g using Tapatalk
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

Hey go for the miui version from miui.com. initially everything will be in Chinese but then it turns alright once you reboot. Plop apex launcher on and you're good to go if you prefer "standard" launchers.
