Hey, I've been away from the xda scene for a while, I currently using break 2.3.4(I don't remember what rom) so, what current roms are good for a T-Mobile Sensation 4G
What I need:
Wi-Fi calling must work and be stable, I live in an area will very poor service.
Needs to be smooth and stable
Preferably ICS( I know I need to flash firmware so If you could tell me which one that would be great, along with the radio)
Battery life is very important.
I usually just flash a couple roms and see what works best, but there's just to many anymore so some guidance would be greatly appreciated!
The best one that I have tried is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663665
This is the Elegancia rom (Android 4, Sense 3.6) that has Beats Audio, WiFi Calling & Bluetooth Dialing Working.
I cant stress how many ROMs I tried but none of them seemed to be able to make WiFi Calling & Bluetooth Dialing work together. It was always one or the other. This is the Only ROM I have tried that had both working perfectly.
I also run the Faux kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216197) and find exceptional battery life, CPU runs much cooler, and clocked at 1.73 GHz.
Thanks! I'll be sure to try it out!
Also to clarify, there are a few different Elegancia ROMs that work with the phone. I have tested them all and on the TMOUS 4G, they dont all work as well. The one I linked to was based off of the Official TMobile release whereas the other ones are based off of the European release.
Follow up...
So I spoke too soon... Looks like the programming that TMobile uses to monitor WiFi Hotspot use is still in place on the TMobile version of the Elegancia ROM.
MAJOR bummer.

I think it'll happen on each Rom since it checks the user agent string from your browser since its sent through the network. If you really want hotspot then use a third party app

Virtuous inquisition for me. haven't had any issues. Elegancia would be my go to were it not for that hideous blue stock color and cheesy icons. If you can deal with that then go for those roms assuming you're into sense

I use HyperNonSense 2.7. Just have to add wi-fi calling from one of the addon packs. It works just fine for me. I have not tried using the hotspot function, so I can't comment on that. However, with this rom and Bricked 1.1 kernel, I get great battery life with a stable and streamlined rom. Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but good luck in your search for the combination that works for you.
ARHD is working perfectly for me.
Try Ordroid 7.1.1, its stabel and wifi hotspot app works. Also wifi calling works flawlessly... I get great battery use as well...
Give us some more info, are into Sense, AOSP. I've run just about every ROM currently available. I've started a battery test thread, it's in my sig. Just to give people an idea.
If you want Sense 4 - OrDroid is a great ROM.
If you want Sense 3.6 - Elegancia Phoenix if you like strongly themed. LeeDroid has great performance. ARHD if you prefer a stock look but strongly modded for performance.
If you want AOSP - I haven't run many because I am spoiled with HTCs keyboard, but OpenSensation, HyperNonSense. If you want strongly themed, AOKP Eye Candy.
If you like AOSP but prefer to keep the HTC Framework, SmartDroid Lilith or Virtuous Inquisition (I think this is a Sense base.)
And then if you like AOSP but like the performance of a Sense ROM, you can go with Shniz's ICS Theme located in 'Themes and Apps'.
For Wi-Fi calling you can install the latest TMoUS working. There is a thread for it. For the Wi-Fi Hotspot - there is a working third party app.
And of course, there are many kernels available - once you find a ROM you like, I say give a few a try and decide which you like best.
All the above is my opinion.
It stills comes down to user preference. You'll just have to give a few a try and determine which one you prefer.
Sense 4 ROMs are all ports from the HTC One series so expect some bugs. But if you want one, go Ordroid. That ROM is heavily maintained and fixed on.
ARHD is as stock as you can find them. But its mostly the structure of the ROM that is modified, not the appearance.
But you need WIFI calling.. Try ARHD.
Just try a few dozen roms yourself, then you can get the real picture! Happy Flashing

no reboots?? on what rom version?
stock.
there is no "best" rom ever. opinion varies. don't be lazy. Download and try them yourself.
Currently running this with stock kernel, remember to remove CRT animation, they cause reboots sometimes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327641
Not a single reboot, been running it for a week.
I have to say, what works for me is InsertCoin 3.4.2 (based on ruu 2.08, GB 2.3.5, Sense 3.5, Stock HTC Kernel). Simply amazing! Unparalleled performance, unshakabley stable, great add-ons, and power consumption is super. I have tried MOST Roms and this one, in my opinion, is in its own league!
But, u should try out a few to see what works for you.
Cheers
There is no "best" ROM.
In the end it's all down to experience and personal preference.
Try a few out and use what you like the best.
Personally i like ARHD because of the frequent updates and good support when you have a problem. Plus it's stable and fits all my needs.
My favorites to date have been InsertCoin 3.4.6 and 2.5.5-2, ARHD 3.6.7 and Virtuous Sensation 2.2.0. All stable, with great performance.
But seriously, you're doing yourself a disservice by not just messing around flashing a couple of roms and kernels yourself.
I'm happy with my ARHD 3.6.X.X... smooth on daily use....
I would recommend Insert Coins 2.5.5-2, really stable, absolutely nothing wrong with it. Give it a try, I'm still using it.
CM7 has been rock solid for me with the Faux kernel. No random reboots ever.
I like Roms with a lot of Sense stuff removed. I currently run Hyper NonSense 2.0 which is a ICS 4.0.3 Rom and I love it. Some will not care for the camera or for the fact that it has been removed of sense but I like it that way. Like many have said just make a nandroid of what you currently have and just start flashing new roms and see what meets YOUR needs.
I am looking for a stable rom as well. The problem with flashing and trying many roms is that for me the process takes way to long to get back operational.
My main goal is to eliminate the screenshot issue with the sensation.
With insert coin 4.06 the issue has gone away but I am experiencing more closes and app problems than ics is worth.
I would appreciate any tips to flashing more efficiently and a stable rom without the screenshot issue.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA App
after going through every rom, 95% have had the odd reboot, every rom is great, and respect to the hard working devs, but two I have used, have had great battery, and no reboots, 1.... Android Revolution HD and 2... Supersensation by the god LeeDroid
Insetcoin ,ARHD,MIUI ,all great for me but there more I haven't tried more than 4 from different devs so far I am using ARHD .6.0.2 Now which is ICS based and is great performer (battery life speed) I had 2 random reboots when I first installed the ROM but after that everything was smooooooth!!!
As for the reboots on cooked ROMs in general is hard to avoid since the devs tweak stuff all the time to make ROMs better and that might cause some conflicts from time to time plus they add other things from deifferent versions of ROMs out there,the main idea is to pick a ROM with very good support and updates
Funny thing though I wa getting occasional reboots on my HTC desire before root
Worth doing some research and experimentation your self .

I'll start with my current personal favorite - energy rom has been working great for me, lasts at least 15-20 hours with moderate use and no issues at all. I've come to the conclusion that the original TmoUS radio works best for me, so rom's the recommend another radio I tend to stay away from, and I haven't bothered with ICS yet as it seems way to buggy currently.
For the above post, how are you currently flashing and restoring things? I generally download current ROM's into a folder on my home computer and keep them organized so I can go back to older versions easily if I want. For me, flashing and setting up a new rom is only about a 30 min. process at the longest. I generally do the following:
1. I try to make sure my phone has a full charge first, but not needed.
2. I transfer rom onto sd card
3. unplug phone
4. make sure Titanium Backup is current - if not I back up all apps that have been changed first
5. boot into recovery - full wipe/reset/etc - flash rom
6. reboot, let rom start and settle
7. sign into my google account and set up wifi
8. use titanium to fully restore my apps
9. enjoy my new rom
ARHD 3.6.12 works wonders for me. No reboots and it is snappy, bug free, and everything works.
For me, ARHD worked like a charm as well. Battery life almost doubled compared to stock ROM, and the phone is much faster, sense is much smoother.
I'm currently using insertcoin 3.4.6 and SebastianFM's edited stock kernel. It runs completely without fault, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING still works, and works at speed. I'm toying with the idea of going over to ics, but don't know if it's stable yet or not. Bottom line is I don't have the time to frequently flash ROMs and reinstall everything every time I find issue with a ROM and want to change again, and at the end of the day it's my phone, I need everything to work.
Currently using InsertCoin 4.2.1.. extremily smooth
People are always posting up new threads asking for advice on this ROM vs. that ROM. Well, I haven't tried them all, but I've tried quite a few of the more popular ones recently. I'm not going to pick these ROMS apart. If you want more info about what I liked or didn't like about a particular ROM I've tried, go ahead and ask.
I got my Sensation back in January. I used the stock Gingerbread for a couple of months. Then got frustrated when the T-Mobile ICS update got delayed and have been on a flashing frenzy ever since.
I've been trying a lot of ROMs lately. I started with ARHD, then went to Elegancia, then Hypernonsense, then back to Elegancia, then Sense 4 Elegancia, then back to 3.6, then Virtuous Inquisition, then Opensensation (CM9), and back to Elegancia again. I've also tried Sebastion, faux, and bricked kernels - I prefer bricked best.
I honestly don't a see a performance difference between Sense, stripped Sense, or AOSP ROMs. I have System Tuner Pro and always monitor memory usage. I thought that the stripped and AOSP ROMs would have gobs of free memory available, but they just don't. They're no better or worse. I also was compelled to try those ROMs to improve battery life. Again, the experience didn't match the hype.
It all comes down to personal preference. Each ROM has its own glitches. But from my experience, full Sense 3.6 ROMs are the most functional and most stable. I loved the Sense 4.0 ROM I tried, except that Sense crashed on me like 3 times a day having to pull the battery each time. For me, nothing beats the Sense widgets. I live in the email and calendar widgets for work and the music widget in the car. No other widgets come close.
I think I'm gonna quit screwing around with it for a while. I am very happy with the Elegancia Sense 3.6 ROM / Bricked kernal combo. It's pretty much already modded/themed the I way I would do it. I can just flash it and go. I will try the Sense 4.0 version again when it's more mature. I loved it, I just can't have my phone crashing on me constantly.
I still want to try MIUI and will probably try CM9 again when it's official. I really like some of the home screen setups people have been able to pull off with their AOSP ROMs. But I think the widgets will always pull me back to a full Sense ROM. The only widgets that can compete, you have to pay for - and they're still not as good. Also, the AOSP camera blows compared to the Sense camera. In the end, it's all about what's functional for you.
In conclusion, try a few, try a bunch... don't get lost in the hunt for better battery life and more performance, because - 1) those 2 things don't go together... & 2) those 2 things are largely the same across all ROMS whether you're full Sense, stripped-Sense, or AOSP. Just find what you like and enjoy!
SO wutZ da best roms to use?
Just joking, but it's too bad some people are serious.
Its all about your liking that's it otherwise there is not a rom whit better battery life than any others

I've been using Ordroid (Sense4) for a week or so now and I've found it quiet stable to be honest. I haven't experienced any crashes.
The batterylife was in 5.0.X about 17 hours (2 hours of screen turned on).
V6.0.0; I can't say if there are anything wrong just yet since its been out for about 2 days only and I've used it for 1 day. but the first batterycycle was about 21 hours with 2h 5m screen turned on. Only thing I could complain about with Ordroid is the partially working BT, I can't say anything about the Wifi-tethering issue because I am not using it.
Hmm, well I guess that was that.
The partially working Bluetooth issue is across all Sense 4 ROMs. It has to do with the fact that Sense 4 was ported from another device with different BT hardware - so the Sense drivers aren't fully compatible.
With the release of T-Mobile's official RUU, it may be time try Sense 4 again and see if some of the previous issues I experienced are fixed now. But BT will probably always only be partially working due to the driver issue.

I use elegancia ics 4.3 sence 4.0 is good so far it has a few glitches like if you try to take a picture while recording a video, the camera crashes or if you press the camera button to take several pictures at once it crashes! But other than that is good!

I tried Elegancia Sense 4 again last night. I thought it was time to give it another go since there have a few builds released since the last time. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Whatever issues I'm having are buried deeper than what gets changed from build to build.
My phone has crashed on my twice in the last 5 hours. It's unfortunate. I really like Sense 4 - I think it's cleaner & smoother than 3.6. The camera is better and faster than 3.6. But if your phone crashes on you while changing menus or doesn't wake up and you have to pull the battery all the time, then it's useless.
Does anyone else have these issues with Sense 4? Maybe another Sense 4 ROM is better? I have not yet tried another Sense 4 ROM because it seems they all use the same base. Maybe I should try another and see if it works better...
The new InsertCoin ROM Sense 4.0 is out now, looks very stable, only FM Radio not working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546731
I just flashed OrDroid Sense 4. I'll give that one a shot. It has a different base - the new leaked Ville RUU instead of the One S. The Ville and Sensation share the same processor, so maybe that will do the trick.
EDIT: That one's no good for me either. It has its own set of glitches I'm not willing to live with.
Now trying Steve's new TMOUS Elegancia with Bricked kernel.
Any tradeoffs for non Sense ROMs? I know the camera app is better on HTC's but other than that? Is there a Torch app similar to the stock one? Etc..
...and back on Elegancia 3.7.6. lol
I am running the updated TMOUS firmware now, tho. along with the other radio fix for TMOUS users. This might be the best combo I've run yet. But I'm still anxious for a fully functional Sense 4 ROM.

For me, I love the overclocking of custom roms/kernels. Stock Sensation is 1.2ghz. My custom rom Sensation is 1.7ghz. Man is it speedy. I took the time to read countless posts and spent a ton of time learning how to mod my Sensation. No way am I going back to stock carrier rom.
Its been a while since I have been here, good to see the unrooting process is easy now. Ive had the HTC ONE S for about 2 months now and its ok, but what irrates me is the Tmobile crap that they always load on the phone and the phone seems to reboot sometimes. I switched over to a pre-paid plan unlimited talk, text and 4GB to 100mb and I swear that my Tmobile service is now worse than before. I use that 4GB to 100MB in 2 days, but I dont really use my internet that much and use only 3 core apps Twitter, Foursqaure and gmail.
What i am looking for in a rom is less Tmobile junk, ability to use my WIFI spot or teether the phone to my laptop without getting the upsale message from Tmobile saying I need to buy the feature.
Also a improvement in signal and internet would be nice from the new rom, i am supposed to be in a area where I should be getting excellent coverage and I am not, even emailed Tforce and of course that was useless, since they say its the sim card, or maybe reboot the phone and the finale say is " we can guarantee service" yet those commericals claim that lol
If you want Wifi calling, then your options are not a lot.
Trickdroid 6.2 is one of the popular roms that is based on T-Mob. Axiom S is getting good momentum atm and the devs are very active (latest OTA yesterday) and it also supports wifi calling. Axiom S-Less is the version without Sense launcher if you prefer an AOSP feel to the phone.
I think this is about it if you want Wifi calling (someone step in if I forgot something). If you didn't care about that, then it's a different story! Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789812
As for better signal and internet, that is largely the responsibility of the radio not ROMs. If your hboot is less than 1.13 you could flash the latest EU radio. TMOB users have reported better signal overall. Of course if your hboot version is 1.13 and you still want to upgrade the radio, you could but you'd have to go a lengthier route (even riskier).
If you're interested in WiFi tethering check out WiFi Tether for root users, always works for me.
As for roms, Axiom S is by far the best.

I'm another vote for TrickDroid - I've been using it and it's incredible. It's also finalized now, so no more bugs.
Trickdroid for sure. It won't have Wifi calling since it's based off the international rom, but it's the cleanest, fastest, and best on battery.
Is Trickdroid still the best one?
A matter of opinion. I say No, Im sure someone else will say Yes.

If you like aosp style, liquid smooth by droyd is the best! That man rocks!!!
Hi guys!
Some really good roms around here; Trickdroid is a very cool sense based rom. The only thing i like about sense roms is the camera app anyway. I've always found aosp / aokp / cm faster. If you'd like to test some of them, LiquidSmooth is a very cool and fast cm-like rom and there's a port by Droyd in the dev forum. There's an unofficial aokp around too, which works pretty well.
I think the best thing to do is try someof them and keep the one you like the best!
cya!
Personally I think best ROM threads shouldn't be allowed. Just a matter of personal preference, on many device sub-forums they are banned anyway
Agreed "best rom" is maybe not the best way to go. I'd personally like to see a checklist of all the things that work/don't work/kinda work. Kind of like a compare feature like an online store has, so you could see exactly what you're getting in to. I've suggested this to XDA, but it probably got buried in all the other requests they get.
i am using ViperS 1.3 ROM for my sensation and i want to go "sense"less can you suggest good senseless ROMS for me? and if you can give me the links, that would be fanstastic.
ViperS ROM rocks. I just want to try sensless for and see the difference.
Try hypernonsense or virtous inquisition. They are both senseless. You can find links in the development thread.

The answer depends on what you want to do. If you want to keep Sense elements like the camera and some apps that came stock with the phone then you'll want to have a true de'sensed ROM like HyperNonsense or ARHD (with the desensing script run during install from 4EXT recovery, otherwise ARHD will still look like Sense)
Both will get you the pure Android look and feel. ARHD will do it with a lot of tweaks that make it run better. HyperNonsense will do it and give you just enough to boot the device to allow you to customize it with the apps you want.
However, both are still 'sense' at their core. They just don't look it.
On the other hand if you want to completely leave Sense and have a lot more flexibility you can go the Cyanogen route. Both CM9 and CM10 are pure Android with no Sense elements. They are much more customizable with both system tweaks and graphical tweaks (like UI theming). But some Sense based apps won't work on them.
If you want to go that route there are difference between 9 and 10. 9 is ICS and is more complete with working Wifi Calling available. 10 is Jelly Bean and a lot smoother and faster, but still has some bugs being worked out and wifi calling does not work with it (yet)

sun_dream ported several ROMs, an ICS with Sense4 and Sense4.1a, as well as an ICS with Sense3.6. I never could get the Sense4 ROMs to work reliably on my phone, especially the headset audio (it is extremely picky about which earplugs it will accept). His ICS 4.0.3 ROM with Sense3.6, however, worked reasonably well for me, has great audio. There are two versions of it, one is based on Sensation 3.3.2, other is 3.3.3. I found the 3.3.2 to be the more stable and fluid with really good battery life. My only issue with it was sometimes data would drop off unexpectedly. It would come back usually on its own, but sometimes you'd have to toggle airplane mode to get it back. An annoyance. Also, there was a Gallery issue with it FC'ing. But, I solved that by ripping Gallery out of another Sense3.6 ROM and pushing it to my phone. You can read about that in the ROM's thread in the Dev forum.
But really, for overall stability and a ROM where everything works like it is supposed to work without having to jiggle and toggle and stand on your head or sacrifice chickens, Miktouch is the one I use every day. I do like the features of ICS and especially those of the new JB ROMs. But, this is my only phone and must work 100% 100% of the time.

It would come back usually on its own, but sometimes you'd have to toggle airplane mode to get it back. An annoyance. Also, there was a Gallery issue with it FC'ing. But, I solved that by ripping Gallery out of another Sense3.6 ROM and pushing it to my phone. You can read about that in the ROM's thread in the Dev forum.
But really, for overall stability and a ROM where everything works like it is supposed to work without having to jiggle and toggle and stand on your head or sacrifice chickens, Miktouch is the one I use every day. I do like the features of ICS and especially those of the new JB ROMs. But, this is my only phone and must work 100% 100% of the time.

Yes I must agree I use mik sense 3.0 cause its most reloable as of right now and everything works. Baytery lofe is not bad for sense also. Dont get me wrong I love cm roms bit need more stability also I hope cm based roms fix the video out.
EDIT: can someone post me links to some customizations for mik 3.0 would be greatly appreciated.

No one can answer this question correctly except you. Try the various ROMs available to you and decide which one is best for you.
