no its not stable just use Open sensation for now it is stable as hell and has a few added perks Cyanogen Mod nightlies are stable but i suggest waiting till a stable release is out sorry but quatro is unstable and un developed for months and inquisition is boged down by sense trust me try open sensation you will not be disappointed you can also try AOKP over on rootzwiki

V.I. is not bogged down by Sense. It's speed differences versus AOSP/AOKP are minute.
However, OP was asking for OpenSensation or CM9. I would choose OpenSensation. CM9 with added features.

I'm not saying it's a bad ROM but if you want Stock aosp then why use VI I loved that ROM fir a long time until we got a working aosp I was only mentioning then because three different people told him to go to virtues ROM when we have working aosp ROM I'm not saying there work was bad it was great and sensation wouldn't be as great without there work

Thanks guys for the help. Ive been testing all day and found OpenSensation to be the best although something is wrong with wifi. Virtuous Inquisition is actually pretty awesome too

yes I like virtuous because, everything is working, Wi-Fi and all! Guess that's why I stick with it. I really use Wi-Fi and hotspot a lot, so I really need it to work.
If I didn't use them so much I'd give other roms a try.

There are some benefits. Everything works perfectly, wifi, bluetooth, etc etc. The camera is way, way better as well.

I think it depends on which bugs you're willing to tolerate. VI is very stable, but the notification wouldn't work for my exchange account, which is somewhat due to the email app not having the option to force it, and the Gallery app doesn't sync with Picassa. But everything else works, including MHL, and the SebastienFM kernel makes it a little faster than Opensensation. For me, Opensensation has gradually improved, although updates sometimes break previously working elements. MHL is not working as of the most recent release, the camera used to stop working randomly (seems okay in the July build), and I find the launcher a little less smooth. Although the remnants of Sense make the VI bigger, it's not bogged down by any means, in my experience.

What Rom should I use? What's the hands down general best?

I am currently using Cyanogen Mod 7 and realizing that I don't like it @ all. The camera is pretty much ****. And it cuts out sound a lot. And I'm kinda feining to go back to sense. So i wanna know if there are any good and worthy Sense 3.5 2.3.5 roms or a 100% AOSP rom, Fast, battery efficient, themed would be nice, over clocked, and all the other goodies.

Me, too. But I'm finding 4.1.3 a bit laggy. Wondering if Insertcoin would be better, and I'm trying to find out what the differences are, but info seems scarce. The advice seems to be: "test it and see for yourself".
like eddyOS said, its subjective.
you need to try out the different roms to find what you like.
i tried practically all the roms, almost all gave me this same problem (mobile internet not working and bad signals) until i found a few and went on trying and testing it and got the one that suits me.
What works for me may not work for you.... and besides, though we have same phone, our experience with the ROMs here is unique with each other...
if you ask me, my bet would be Baad (IC), Mike (ARHD), and Ctdroid's work (no offense to other devs) .... Reason? i dont have problems migrating back and forth with those ROM's + great support from the respective teams... If you want SENSEless, check Melvin and Xboarder56's work...

Stock rooted sense 3.5. See EddyOS's rom in development section.
i am using InsertCoin now ... fast and smooth so far ( juz flashed 2 hrs ago ).
The HTC amaze cam is wicked !
i can feel that it is smoother than my previous bulletproof ( althou it comes with a good tweak option ).
Sense is ****. Try MIUI camera if you don't like the CM7 one. You should stick with CM7 rom though, it's the best.

And because YOU think stock android is "****ty and boring" as quoted in another post of yours, that means it is? Pot calling the kettle black bro.
No, just cause I call it **** doesn't mean I'm right. I've never said I am. BUT I'm saying you're wrong to call a ROM 'the best' as there's no such thing. The 'best' ROM is whatever the user thinks it is.
I use MY own ROM the I'VE cooked as, for me, it's the best as it doesn't EXACTLY what I want it to.
All I'm trying to get across is the OP is going to have to try different ROMs and make up their own mind. I'd say that it's worth trying CM7 but I cannot live without the Sense widgets and the general smoothness of Sense. CM7 just isn't as nice in MY eyes, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder
---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------
Also meant to add, once CM7 is out of alpha/beta I'll probably give it a go again and see if it's better than last time I used it. I'm quite looking forward to a proper, official MIUI release as I quite like that
CM7 should be good once it actually comes out of Alpha...I hope. Loved it on my N1. Still having problems though...but it is alpha.

Ive been flashing since the first roms were around on the G1. I like to check out every rom offered for my phone and as of now im back on sense (just like the widgets). But like anyone will tell you there is no "best" updates from all our great devs come out daily.
After testing a lot (if not all) roms on sensation, I found Synergy's latest r85 to be top dawg at the moment. Heres my setup, no problems at all so far its fast, stable, and battery life is great
Flashed in this order:
Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193089
Kernel (flashed recommended 1.2 and then cam fix right after): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256668
Im on 10.14 radio cause it seems to give me best data/batter life, its also what synergy devs are using.
lemme kno what you think
u have to find it out by your own..
but i really recommend S3N5EaY v1.6.0 - 2.3.5 / 3.5 sense..
i know CM7 - revolution hd and some others.. have to flash my phone 2128238 times a week lol ..
S3N5EaY is fully stable, fast and sensational of battery.
let me know what u thinkin about it
Well if cm7 alpha isn't floating your boat that's understandable. It isn't fully released yet anyway right? But if you want a fully operational sense rom that feels like a cm/aosp then you should try the beastrom-sv4. Everything works and it's light and snappy. Not as snappy as cm7Alpha 8 but then again it's sense base 2.3.5 now I believe. Just don't install the themes for it as they are not updated to the new base (still set for the 2.3.4).
Although I'm a fairly devoted Cyanogenmod user, I have to admit the Sense 3.5 based roms are quite snappy. Still not quite as snappy as Cyanogenmod but certainly an improvement over Sense 3.0.
I don't think there is a hang of a lot of difference between the roms though. Inspite of claims made by some that xyz ROM is the fastest, has the best battery life, or whatever I've never noticed a difference apart from the odd tweak here and there. These days if one dev comes up with something really cool it ends up in all the other roms within a week anyway. Each ROM does have it's own distinct favour though depending on who cooked it.

Wicked fast, extremely stable and lots of friendly support.
I am on InsertCoin at the moment, it is a great ROM. More or less stock, but with reasonable featers as Amaze camera.
LeeeDroid is also great, but it is a bit out of date, I hope Lee upgrades soon when he is back.

Advertise CoreDroid elsewhere, he's asking specifically about CM7. Anyhow, I used to run it but the AOSP camera is a joke. There's always Senseless roms that keep the camera, but they don't feel as light weight as CM7 did. Right now, I'm waiting for CM9 before I go back to Cyanogenmod.
Id like to keep this a cm thread but thanks for letting us know bossman.

Been swapping ROMs every few days lately, but at the moment I'm on HyperSensation which is based on CM7.
CM7 is great, apart from the lack of 1080p support and sub-par camera app (compared to Sense), along with the buggy sensor usage (i.e., battery drain after an app has used the compass). Apparently the 3D Gallery was causing some issues with battery drain too.
The camera works great for me quality wise and we all know that the video recorder just crashes the phone but who cares? Unless u film stuff on the reg.

For me, a 95% working AOSP ROM is better than a 100% working Sense ROM.
So I'm running CM7 as a daily. The battery life is good (At least a full day. 2 if I don't get a lot of calls on day 1)
It's smooth and speedy.
There are a few quirks though. I can't get wifi calling to work for some reason (though it apparently works for others in CM7) and I have 1 app that won't play properly.
Other than that....
Which app wont play?
Sent from my Sensation on CM7 Alpha#10
Currently running HyperSensation, and it's absolutely perfect.. I love how minimalistic it is, I actually uninstalled more apps that I don't use. Videorecording Isn't that important to me, and and I don't think the aosp camera is THAT bad lol. I also underclocked to 1ghz, because it doesn't need to be higher Imo. I'm 100% happy with this until a mode stable ICS rom is available.

Full Screen Caller ID.
The app loads and I can adjust all the settings, but it won't overlay the full screen caller picture. Doesn't work in SelfKang's version or Hyper Sensation.
Daily driver is RevertedASOP 1.2 (CM7 based) with Faux's latest kernel. Everything works well for me, and underclocked to around 1ghz it is way faster and smoother than my test ICS rom. More than a full day of battery life too.
Running Hypersensation CM rom
Tethering-both USB+WIFI doesn't work
Video camera crashes at 12 MBPS bitrate, but as i switched to 9 MBPS, its just awesome..

Only thing kept me from using is the crappy Launcher Pro performance.
I'm only commenting because you asked. I love CM, but not any of the Sensation builds. I've tried several kernels to no avail. 4-5 times a day I'm removing my battery because of freezing. I've done clean installs and not even installed programs to see if my installed apps were the problems and I still had reboots. I'll wait for a stable version of CM9. My glacier(mytouch 4g) has 7.2 unofficial and it never reboots or freezes. I'm waiting for that kind of stability. Don't get me wrong though I absolutely love CM! Go devs!
I have not liked the sensation build of cyanogen mod either. Lost of stuff that made it apparent to me that this was definitely not a priority to the cyanogen mod team. I am however anxiously waiting for the cm9 for the sensation

I feel ya however i havnt had a single reboot or freeze in the past month. Launcher pro performs just as good on cm7 sensation than on my previous devices. The only bug i have found is the video cam but that is expected. Thanks for your input. Cant wait for cm9 for the sensation.

I would use MIUI but the latest build has a wifi bug where it auto turns wifi on and eats the battery.

Well I don't mean to be a downer again but I have noticed sense about the 15 of last month we Sensation owners haven't heard anything new towards the advancement of CM9 for our device. Maybe it might be time for me to get a Nexus. Has anyone else here heard of anything at all about CM9 and Sensation?
If u mean nexus s i just came from one. Awesome phones but they get boring really fast. Il sum it up for you. Nexus s runs cm7 perfect. It runs miui buttery smooth. The cm9 alpha roms suck. The ics official rom for the nexus is garbage. More power to ya for going with a nexus it just got boring for me fast. Plus the phone feels like a plastic toy compared to our sensations. Im sure good stuff will cone to the sensation.

OpenSensation CM9 or Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2 ?

Which one do you think is better? Im ready to flash my first rom on my sensation xe
Try both to see which one suits you more.
Virtuous Inquisition is more to the AOSP side, And it's stable as stable can get.
CM9 Is more on the AOKP side, Full of customizations but there are a few minor bugs.
They're both good. If you really love customizing your phone, I suggest you go for CM9, But you can't really say no to the smoothness of Virtuous Inquisition.
Ok thanks for your reply, trying CM9 first now
go for Virtuous Inquisition or HyperNonsense. CM9 still has a lot of minor bugs that need to be worked out. i have a feeling by the time CM9 is 100% complete, i'd probably upgrade to a new phone by then.
sent from the Penh.
Virtuous is more stable than any other ROM I've ever tried, looks great and it's fast too. Gets my vote. The only thing it's missing in my opinion is CRT animations.
Simply if you can handle some things not working 100 percent correctly, use Open Sensation as it is faster. If EVERYTHING must work, use VI 4.02.
Both are great roms.

This is wrong. VI is no where near AOSP. It just simulates the look. CM9 and AOKP are built on AOSP.

I like virtuous but I might try cm9 also. I've had No problems with virtuous at all what so ever
Best for u 2 try them both for a better self examination...happy flashing!
I think CM is the solution for longer term support, but I rely on my phone for work and I need stability so I've been on Inquisition. Opensensation is on rolling updates so if a particular image gives you problems, don't get discouraged--try another one from a different date.
I am with OpenSensation now and it's getting better all the time. VI is OK but to me it's like trying to eat soy beef.

This. Subtle little hints of Sense left and right. Granted it's patched now, but for example the dual usb dialogs. The sound when adjusting the volume. Etc. My hatred towards Sense drove me FAR away from these ROMs despite using VI for more than 90% of my daily use. Forcing myself to AOKP now.
Actually is smoother than VI in my case. I'd have all sorts of funky errors usually triggered by browsers (yes, plural, Chrome Mobile, Stock, and beyond) having to do .. something. More or less the ROM would bog itself down to getting about 1 screen refresh every 20 seconds.
AOKP hasn't done that to me. Yet.
Ironically, I'm prepping to flash the stock TMOUS leak to see if it's any better. Doubtful, really.
+1 for CM9, Virtuous run a litter slow for me

I'm on VI and that has never happened to me once. I don't get any crashes or slowdown at all, so I'm not sure what's caused it for you. Did you add any mods to it which could have caused it? Oh, and the sense USB connection screen is gone, that was removed a couple of ROM builds ago.

Now if you want sense 4 I would recommend insert coin v2.2 For me its even faster then arhd I got over 4100 in quadrant but mind you that no oc and battery life isn't as great. Hope this helped.

Picking a Rom is a personal thing .what's best for me might not be best for your needs.I highly highly recommend you try out SEVERAL different roms for yourself and then make your choice for your daily Rom! That's the fun part! I've probably tried almost all the ics roms available! See what suits you're needs and style! We are lucky to have such wonderful developers to give us many different choices! So instead of asking what's best in others opinions, see what's best in YOUR opinion! Each Rom has a area that tells you what's working and what isn't, they are very up front about that so read that area, decide what you want, try out SEVERAL different ones then make your OWN choice! For me I really like the lightning Rom. However it might not be for you! So have fun and experiment with different things and form your own opinion. Best wishes and I genuinely hope this helps you out. Happy flashing!

Yeh! Just try all the ROM's you can find and see which ones you like best? (You'll get addicted to it)
I'm using CM10 at the moment but my opinion WILL differ from almost everyone else's.
Yes, but not everyone has the time to try each and every ROM that comes along. So thanks for your suggestions guys!
Were only saying to give each Rom a shot and form your own opinion. Do it little by liitle if you don't have a lot of time but it is always best to try for yourself and form your own opnion...
Sent from my Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk 2
the best ROM is the one that comes when you buy your phone, STOCK. But when you want something customized for your needs, you gotta try those available ROM. for me so far, i have Insert Coin for sense 4 in my phone always also the viper 1.1.0 but I'm still testing other ROM. What counts for when it comes to ROM is performance first then the looks. :good:
Enjoy Hunting :highfive:
I'd agree with trying the custom ROMs and work out what fits best. Like a try before you buy session.
REMEMBER, take Nandroid backups at every opportunity so you can revert to a previous ROM easily. That's probably the most important aspect.
Yep, take a few for a spin! I went from awesome Virtuous to awesome Lightning! Happy Flashing!
Communisation
Lighting
I agree there are just too many ROMS to try them all. But there are also way too many threads of this sort. For all those wondering which ROMS are good here are my recommendations-
ARHD or InsertCoin if you want closest to stock Sense 3.6 with preference to ARHD cos its updated more.
Elegancia Sense 3.6 if you want a tweaked version. I adore this ROM. Themed version available.
ViperS ROM if you want an extremely flexible Sense 4.0 experience. Elegancia 4.0 if you want a themed Sense 4.
OpenSensation for AOSP.
BerserkMode if you want Sense parts with AOSP speed and smoothness. It's probably better than Virtuous Inquisition now thanks to updates and improvements.
MIUI if that's your taste. There are about 3 or 4 threads. I'm personally waiting for the AOSP version update.
New Roms that may be worth a try- Lightning, TRAD Sensation (both Sense 4)
ROMS that you absolutely HAVE to cultivate to your own taste (for purists)- the hyper roms. props to Splder for carrying on Kristofs work.
Others- CM10 by Bruce if you're adventurous and don't mind temporarily sactificing your camera.
Personally I'd start with (Elegancia 3.6 Stock/themed is upto you) its amazing.. ViperS and BerserkMode of of course CM9. After that you have a pretty decent experience by which to judge other Roms. Happy Flashing! Hope this helped you and any others with the same question.

Paranoid Android! Hands down!
The ability to put your HTC into tablet mode is wonderful. As is the ability to custom choose the DPI for each individual app on your phone. After using Gmail in tablet mode I never want to go back to the preschool-like interface Gmail uses by default for phones. And with all the themes available for CyanogenMod you can REALLY customize the look and feel of every visual aspect of your phone's UI. I held out for a LONG time, I thought Sense was "pretty" and the way to go. But I've found ROMS based on AOSP/AOKP/CM run circles around Sense performance wise. Sense is a HOG for resources plan and simple. Install Apex launcher in Paranoid Android and it's quite close to perfect. Fast, themeable, visually pleasing, and the ability to take advantage of the fact your Sensation has an HD display.
That said, if you're still a sense holdout, the Viper ROM wipes the table with pretty much all other Sense based ROMS (though Daemon looks a bit promising).
For a STABLE ICS AOKP ROM, I like the EyeCandy ROM. (I boot into this restore when I need to use the camera as camera isn't functioning in JellyBean yet)
*edit*
Unlike a lot of other posters, I pretty much have tried EVERY ROM available for the Sensation. I have a tech addiction!
After a while the Sense 4.0 ROMS all start looking the same, except for the truly innovate ones that stand out from the pack like Viper, Daemon, Lightning, and RMS Blue Sense.
I tried ARHD, but once I found there were Sense 4.0 ROMS for my Sensation, I never looked back, never bothered trying another 3.6 ROM/ Sense 3.6 just seemed outdated to me at that point.
I prefer AOKP-based ROMS to CM as AOKP lets you tweak a heck of a lot more of the UI as well as system performance tweaks.
And I hate MIUI with a passion. Stay far far away from MIUI unless you really enjoy giving yourself a headache.

And I hate MIUI with a passion. Stay far far away from MIUI unless you really enjoy giving yourself a headache.

Okay thanks. Is there one that has everything working?

You can look in the change logs of the roms and they will tell you EXACTLY what is working and what's not.the developers are very open about that. Each Rom has a area what tells you EXACTLY what is working. So there are no surprises. Most roms have most everything working . They will tell you what's not working on page one. Around the change logs. Always look at that first then you will not have any surprises if something is not working. I really hope this helps you out. So if you find a Rom your interested in just read that area and it will clearly tell you what to expect. Best wishes.

Currently 1.9.5a .. I've used 1.92 as well as 1.4 in the past.
I know a lot of people will probably say arhd because it has been the most popular rom. However, my Sensation kept crashing/randomly turning off with it. The only rom that hasn't caused me too many problems is InsertCoin and OrDroid. I have been using OrDroid for several months now and couldn't be happier. I will probably stick to OrDroid for a while.

[Q] (Q) Best sense 4.0 or ics sense 3.0 rom to use??

Just wondering which rom may be the most stable when it comesto ics and sense
As far as sense goes I think rooted stock or mik ROM is the only ones for that as for jb there is lots of ROMs out there I'm currently using official CyanogenMod preview 7 and I love it. Fast smooth stable but I would recommend you just try them all

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.

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.
