Hy there.i am the new owner of a super smartphone named sensation. I want to know what rom should i use for best performance and great battery life? I want to chose between the stock one, cm7 cyanogen, or android hd revolution. I see that most of you chose the revolutiob hd.....why?
I notice that i want a fully work rom, with all the features work properly.....so....what is the best rom for you?

There is no "best" rom. Depends what you need. If you're new to the Sensation I suggest that you stay with the Stock ROM and kernel. In my personal opinion it's the most comprehensive solution that doesn't cause any side effects. I tried quite some of custom roms and either they where suffering from poor performance, contained bugs or just the battery drainage was unbearable. Not to mention that staying on the stock rom enables OTA updates.
What jackos is saying is right, there is no best rom. Its up to you to read through the threads and find a couple you like the look of. Then start flashing roms, eventually you'll find the one that does what you want. As long as you make backups you pretty much can't go wrong.
Thank you peopele for the answers.....

I would recommend giving Coredroid a shot.
They have released their final version, (2.7) it's a super stable ROM that i use as my daily, has great battery life (once calibrated) it's nice and fast and works without needing much (if any) tweaking.
But the best thing you can do is back up your current rom and try flashing a few, see what you like best. Sense or No-Sense, themed, stock, 3.0 or 3.5 there are many options.
Before I settled on Coredroid I tried CM7 and ARHD. I loved CM7 but I had a few issues with the ROM (mainly due to the camera) but I love CM7 and the support and updates that frequently get pushed out.
ARHD was great, everything was all good with that ROM, battery life was good once calibrated but I had issues with MMS that I couldn't fix so I tried out Coredroid and loved it.
The issues I had with CM7 and ARHD could have been fixed by me if I had the time and patience but Coredroid worked out of the box so was a winner for me.
Android Revolution
I use android revolution. I am a rather novice user, dont know all the ins and outs of Android (or Linux) and i think ARHD is pretty easy and stil you benefit from being rooted and having some more control...
That said the only other ROMS i tried are Revolver and RCMix, but i liked ARHD better because of the Sensation XE "unlock"...
Please tell me if the android revolution really makes an 1.5 gh procesor.....because i can't see how it does it.......it doesn't make sense.........it use less ram then the stock one?
Wich rom use less ram than the stock one??
10x very much for the answers....

Apparrently the sensation processor was underclocked, so most of the custom ROMS simply remove that underclocking. Regarding using less RAM, that is due to the ROM developers removing some pre-installed apps and services that consume memory.

All info is right here. You WILL find out answers quicker if you just read through guides than if you'll wait for someone to reply. In case of any problem, probably someone already had it and solution is found = search. In (unlikely) case of a unique problem, you'll have all people on this forum trying to help you. Good luck in learning.

1st is wrong, 2nd is partially right.
CPU is clocked at whatever speed by using CUSTOM KERNEL, it has nothing to do with rom.
RAM is normally freed by more aggressive task killer, sense prioritizing (major) + some apps removal (minor).
Again, all info is here, just spend an hour or two looking into it, will save you a lot of time down the line
Damn, tinky1, I can't believe you wrote this nonsense.
Of course Sensation has got a stock underclocked processor. You better read the Qualcomm MSM8260 whitepaper before you try to prove someone wrong.
Miui.us 11/26/11 FTW
I just have to say it. I have tried a ton of ROMS and just made my first donation to a ROM by the name of Miui. While bluetooth doesn't work for me it is still the best ROM.
My favorite things are...
Battery Indicator as a line running across the top
themes, there are just so many
battery and signal is amazing
I'd really like to see some signal strength tests for miui v sense roms, is there really that much difference between them?

First, if you want to stick to tech specs, then read that msm8x60 is native at 1.2-1.5, so TECHNICALLY its neither underckocked or overclocked between these frequencies.
Second, processor is not physically set to 1.2, its all on sw level.
Third, he said custom roms remove underclocking-wrong, just as I explained, its.custom KERNEL which deals.with clocks.
Fourth , before you try to prove someone wrong who is proving someone else wrong, do some thinking

I guess you don't know yourself what you're talking about
About the rom-kernel thing, I would agree with that if custom roms wouldn't overwrite kernels. So if you install a custom rom you change the clock too. Makes sense to me.
It depends what KERNEL is included with the ROM. So no, custom ROM does not under/over clock UNLESS custom KERNEL is included. So we are back to kernel being responsible for clock again.
Re your quote from another thread. Read again, carefully and take the note of word "kernel".
You seem to see what you want to see, instead of looking into post and understanding what it actually means. Re-read from my first post in this thread.

LOL, you're so stubborn
You said that it isn't true that Sensation processor is underclocked. Right? Or shall I quote you again?
brett_c wrote that custom roms remove underclocking. That's correct, because if we compare 1,2Ghz to 1,5Ghz it's clearly that technically speaking one speed is underclocked to another.
Another thing is that you wrote that CPU speed has nothing to do with a rom. That's not true, because we use cpu controllers to adjust the governors and frequencies. I could cook you a rom that runs at 500Mhz max without changing the kernel. So it's not only a damn kernel thing.
Ok, whatever. You seem to expand into too many things here.
As I said, nevermind.
There are too many IFs here to explain without going into it too deep.
I was only pointing out that processor=CPU=hardware is not physically underclocked on OG Sensationcompared to XE. It is downclocked using kernel.
Peace.

so what exactly does this do for the performance of your phone? Is it just apps opening up faster and games a little better?
I understand the performance gains in cpu overclocking for computers in that you get faster encoding for videos, maybe a few more fps in gaming etc but how noticeable is doing an overclock for your phone?
Is it more of a just because you can or is there a real benefit to the user that they can notice?
A 30% overclock on your PC might give you 10-15% better performance but does that equate to similar improvements with a moving to 1.5 or 1.78ghz on your phone?

It's a balance there is only so much you can get out of the CPU in anything once it passes the threshold you get less from it more heat less life we are at 1.2 default I would say after 2.0 we won't get much more but a dead battery is 3 hrs I got mine at 1.1 I am good with battery vs power consumption

The processor is being overworked for some reason. Also, SetCPU causes problems with Faux's kernel, you really shouldn't use it...that could be part of the problem. Another part is that you are lowering the device's max CPU threshold, which means it takes longer for your phone to carry out simple tasks. For a different CPU controller try No-frills CPU instead.
Yes, SetCPU is for SebastianFM Kernel ... and works very well ...
Try to flash again with SebastianFM option during install, for me work very well with or without SetCPU settings ...

Great! After No-frills is installed, the temp gets back to 30C. However the temp really is higher than stock Kernel. Is it normal?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA
I wouldnt worry too much about that, 30C isnt too hot.. The phone is bound to heat up if you are playing with the CPU speeds. Plus running a custom Kernel, And even a case can keep the heat in..
Providing it doesnt get hot to the touch you should be fine.

40 is still normal. But if it worries you too much. Try sebastians 1.30.2 1.512ghz kernel. You can use setcpu to clock it down to like 1ghz or 1.2 and see if it works for you.

The processor in the Sensation is the same one that is in the Amaze. This processor is designed for 1.512GHz. On the Sensation, HTC underclocked the processor to 1.2. Increasing the clock back to 1.512GHz is not a true over clock, it is restoring what the processor is designed for.
go into power or battery I don't remember... then uncheck fast boot
and use system tuner instead

The only time you should be worried about the device is when it gets between 50-60C/122-140F. Even then it still isn't high enough of a temperature to harm the device.
XE and Sensation uses the same CPU?!! Got it
I flashed a new kernel-Faux123 ~
How to use system tuner? it sounds difficult..
Have you installed it yet? Everything is pretty much self-explanatory. Undervolting also help the cpu run cooler. Mine is undervolted -100mV. Very stable.
Installed
After I adjust the voltage in system turner, then...hand & restart.
1000mV for 1.51GHz, ok?
New problem found!
The fauxclock always gives a error message after adjustment...even underclock.

1. Just wanna ask what is the best Kernel for viper 1.5.2 (I dunno what are their descriptions/effects for each kernels)
2. do you have to make a nand / apps backup first before changing kernel?
1) I'm running Elegancia with PYD Kernel and it works great
2)No i dont do a backup
After you flashed Kernel Just wipe dalvik
Envoyé depuis mon HTC Sensation Z710e avec Tapatalk
Always make a backup. It takes 4 minutes or so and might save your butt
I'm using latest faux (find it in the viper hub or in the link at my signature) it's great. But a kernel choice is really a personal thing as no two of us use the phone quite the same.
Nandroid and try. But keep the same kernel for a few days, otherwise you would not get the real taste of it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
First off, you should make a nandroid just in case something goes wrong during installation but if you don't all that you loose is your current rom install. I rarely make nandroids but thats not to say its not recommended, I just enjoy living life on the edge
My favorite kernel for any Sense rom is SebastianFMs Kernel with Axetilens MOD.
Flash your ROM
Flash the Powerful Kernel Reset Tool in Axetilens mod thread
Flash SebastianFMs kernel
Flash the mod - It uses AROMA so you will get to pick and chose all your settings, if you are unsure what to pick most have recommended or default next to the options so you can't go too wrong with them.
He recommends flashing the mod twice just to make sure everything sticks. I always do but I guess thats up to you.
My settings are:
1566mhz on both cores
Performance Gov. (not the dual core option, the third option is what I use)
Underclocked 87mv
300mhz GPU (320mhz could cause stability problems and benchmarks show it doesn't help performance one bit so its a waste of batter)
200mhz 2D (again, anything higher than that is a waste of battery as benchmarks prove that anything higher does no good)
The strictest option for min free settings (I haven't noticed any differnce in load times for the defualt setting and the strict one so its a no brainer to me)
Zram disabled as I have a 512mb hard swap
I have been running this setup for about a week and its still running smooth and fluent. Battery life is incredible to say the least. I'll post some screenshots because quite honestly, you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you in text.
Good luck!

Always make a backup! The kernel is personal preference and nothing more. I have tried all the kernels with viper and didn't have any problems. I don't use viper anymore but when I did, I preferred anthrax, not for any particular reason. Just try each one and see what you like and what works best for you.

Actually, having the 3D GPU overclocked from 300MHz to 320MHz does increase 3D graphics performance more than you think. Increasing the 2D GPU's clock from 200MHz to 266MHz also increases 2D graphics performance substantially.

I honestly don't know why people feel the need to rebuild the Dalvik cache after installing a new kernel. The kernel isn't installed to the Dalvik cache's partition, so not wiping it when you install a kernel will have no effect at all.

Well according to the benchmark tests done by Anthrax, they don't do very much at all, if anything. I barley notice a difference from 1188 to 1566, it really depends more on the rom.

Increase all the frequency to Max or U can Set my settings also...
THRESHOLD LOW
Max freq- 1188
THRESHOLD MEDIUM
Max freq- 810
THRESHOLD HIGH
Max freq- 648
LAUNCH NFS...IT'S SMOOTH NOW...
If it still feels laggy, Increase all the frequencies to your Max Frequency(means if ur Max freq is 1512, then set to 1512, in my case its 1188)
P.S. I'm never Using OC, cause I'm battery friendly guy and yes I'm getting a very good Battery life also

Just flash it and reboot? I've never done anything special after flashing a kernel.

Sorry for posting it here, can't post yet on Viper's main thread, (and yes I am a noob)
1. Just wanna ask what is the best Kernel for viper 1.5.2 (I dunno what are their descriptions/effects for each kernels)
2. do you have to make a nand / apps backup first before changing kernel?

You can't tell which is the best kernel it depends on your choice and usage but in my opnion i am on faux kernel using ViperS 1.5.2 and its running smooth for now and no problem.
Bricked kernel is also good but gives random reboots...and antrax is totally a mess reboots,reboots and reboots...
Nand backup is not necessary but you should make bcz i got a problem with bricked kernel when i change the Governer from lagfree to Performance my phone reboots ,reboots with in 1 mint and even i cant open my phone....as a result full wipe and flashed rom again...
SO its up to u.....

Hello,everyone....recently I overclock my desire s and thanks to many of you I received many useful information so I want to share impression how overclocking has improved performance and battery to help other like us to know what and how to use overclocking and governor....
So I start ....
I use Viper saga with tweaked kernel 3.x/ondemand with deadline/cpu min.245-max.1410
I noticed that my graphic is very good and everything works like a charm....for example in FIFA12 I noticed that even the shadow of all player are so intense and everything is so clear,it seems that improves my graphic and my phone is faster..I hope that overclocking to 1410 to not damaged my phone.So what configuration do you have ?

Set the governor to performance. Battery eater though. But u only can choose better battery life or smoother graphics, so make up ur mind and choose one :thumbup:
When playing with overclocking unstick 'set on boot'. So that it goes back to normal once reboot in case of any freeze. Overclock it based on ur desired value, experiment with it, slowly. increase the value step by step. Leave it for a day then increase again. If it freezes then u know ur phone's limit.

i have read that people say it's stable up to 1.5 GHz.
I have set mine to 1.3GHz to be on the safe side.
And set it to,on demand,so it only takes up more when it needs to.
setting it up to high speeds can result in a melt down,draining batteries and will shorten out the life of your phone even when stable for a couple of days so be aware of what your doing...
there is no best value for everyone, some say 1ghz is enough, some say 1.5 ghz is not enough.
so it depends on what you need, its a trial and error thing
u will get a fast response phone but battery life is sucs ... cant complain though
LOL? :what: how many threads must u made to ask a question? answer can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092673:D
why not just continue on your thread?

Right now I'm using PACman v19.3 and I can get up to 1.8ghz no lag but battery life can sometimes get a little bit bar but works like a dream on games

What kernel you have?

Never a good idea to overclock CPU more than 1.5 GHZ . That is the maximum stable frequency for our processor.
I use my phone at 1.2 GHZ.

What is the best application for overclock?
for example when I play a game to switch automatically to my desire frequency and governor?Now I have Cpu master but unfortunately i don't have more option for profile ....and is it possible to set frequency to 1300Mhz ?

If you want separate screen on/screen off profiles, I would recommend daemon controller app (with andrev_oc installed through the app).
If you want more profiles for different situations, setcpu is probably the only real option.
Setting to 1.3 GHz depends on the kernel you're using, not on the app.

I think the stable is 1,2~1,3GHz, but u can overclock it up to 1,5ghz but it eats your battery... so be careful!
