HTC Sense 4 Impressions - HTC Sensation

So after a couple months of development and improvement, how are the Sense 4.0 ROMS running for everybody? At first, I heard news of bugs and features not working, but what are your experiences with the ROMS? Can anybody tell me how battery life and performance are changed from Sense 3.6 ROMS? Thank you .

For me sense 4 is workin like a charm,im using ordroid 8.2.0,i didnt find anything not workin for me,but battery life compared to virtuos inquistion is pretty much worse,that i can confirm.
But with my anker i get through whole day without problem.

Working fine. Better battery life than Sense 3.6 for me and better performance in some places.

It works fine but if you compare it let's say arhd it does have done lag specially when making transitions but overall it's great I prefer it over sense 3.6

I think sense 4.0 roms are awesome, great battery life and performance and massive aray of tweaks. Only bugs left are hdmi out and wi-fi tether

My sense 4 Rom is Ordroid 9.0.0, It's running wonderfully. The battery life is awesome , the tweaks and customization are awesome, very smooth , fast,
Very nice. Only one problem and that's tethering . I really miss being able to tether but not enough to install a different Rom. I've tried out several different sense 4 Roms but find myself going back to Ordroid . In my opinion nothing yet compares to it! I've not yet had one problem (other than tethering) its really a smooth Rom. I hope this helps some. It's really a very personal decision , and what fits your style and taste the best. But as for having sense 4 problems , not at all! It's been perfect! You really should try it out , I think you will be surprised at how smooth and fast it is! Also you will love the customization ability! I know I do! I think you will really love sense 4. Hope this helps out some and good luck in whatever you decide.

Liquid Smooth Roms 3.0? Anyone tried yet?

Running BAMF 1.0.7 and was wondering if anyone has tried this? Also noticed it's a much smaller file than most roms
Its as fast and basic as you want it to be with a lot of customization options. Just upgraded from 2.6 and I'm loving it. For battery life I don't think there's a better choice.
Edit: I should note that coming from my other android phones the htc sense interface pretty much makes my skin crawl, so those have never been options for me.

Just loaded it today and it is very nice. Very fast, smooth and lots of features.
AOSP ROMs are going to be much smaller in size than Sense ROMs, averaging 100 MB or so.
This ROM is excellent. Very fast!

Been running it since prerelease betas. It was good enough for a daily back then. Now its just stunning. Arguably the best aosp rom available...

whats your favorite sense 4.0 rom?

Hey guys I'm on Virtuous Inquisition 4.0 & I really love how smooth it is and its clean feel. Loved it enough to get rid of my gs2 as it makes my sensation so much more functional. But, I'm looking at buying Tmo's HTC one S when it arrives, so I'm wanting a good taste of sense 4.0 to see how I feel about it. What's your favorite sense 4.0 from, and what's the smoothest? I rely on my phone heavily for business, so I don't want something that will fail me, though I know there's always a risk
Looking forward to everyone's opinions, and thank you to all!
It's probably stick to Sense 3.6 ROM's for now if you need your phone to work.
Most of the hardware seems to be working in Sense 4.0 ROM's but I have read (haven't tried for myself) that they're still quite rough around the edges.
baadnews sense 4.0 is awesome

HTC has not released Sense 4.0 for the Sensation yet. and probably never will. Sense is garbage to begin with anyways. Use a non sense ROM. The experience is so much better and yoiu get nearly triple battery life. Sense freaking rapes battery.

Stay with Sense 3.6. If you need your phone for business. None of the 4.0 roms are close to ready. They function, but performance across the board is low. There's only so much devs can do, and those roms are not ready to go yet.
Im very Happy with senseissimo but very Bad battery Life :-(

Use TripNRaver's Ville 4.0 port it's pretty solid!

[Q] Best ROM choice?

I just bought a MyTouch 4G Slide and I'm looking at the different ROM choices. My biggest two concerns are with camera function and battery life.
I have used Cyanogen on my past couple phones and have loved it, so I was looking at CM7 SelfKang. I can deal with only having 2x zoom and 720p video, but some of the comments mentioned poor battery life.
I have been reading into a couple different ROMs, but I'm not quite sure which one would be the best regarding both camera and battery aspects. I'm looking to get opinions from those of you who are more familiar with what is out there.
Thank you!

If you can get it to work right . some have no problems others do .. Rubix ICS 5.3 with the Sense camera is a awesome rom ... I had problems with it . others say it works great
If you want a nice, stable rom. That keeps all the stock feature, but with out the Sense look. Use Rubix ICS on Rootzwiki. It's based of the shipped stock rom. GB 2.3.4.
If you want ICS with working Video and Camera. Use any of Tbaldens ICS Roms but his CM9 Port. You losse 720p video, but really. One can manage with out 1080p. You need a class 6 or higher SD card for full 1080p, otherwsie it is 720p.
If you want a crazy fast Rom use the AOKP port by XMC Wildchild.
If you want a super fast stock rom, use BulletProof.
If you want Sense 3.0 use Rubix Sensation on XDA.
My Personal Fav is the Virtuious Senseless on Root, or PryoIce Senseless.

All Roms not using the CM7 kernel have amazing battery.

Comparison between Virtuous Inquisition and PkMn

This is directed only to those that have used both, I am in no way asking for others to install these ROMs to their phones if they don't desire too. Anyways, I was wondering how the performance is with each of these 2 ROMs? I don't care much about covering the UI, just the performance, how things work, and snappiness and stabililty. Thanks!
And I don't mean to be offensive to anyone, I'm just trying to gather information regarding the two ROMs besides Sense vs AOSP. Thanks!
I am using pkmn now and impressed with it's smoothness. A built in mod help make the rosie very smooth. It's doesn't have stability issues and is fast (I'm clocked at 1.5) and the mods and tweak options are incomparable. I used virtuous sense4 in it's early days so they might have made some improvements, but coming from ordroid I feel pkmn is better.

[Q] Virtuous Inquisition vs Sense 4 ROMs

Hey everyone. So I've been rolling VI since almost day one when I bought my Sensation used in February. Coming from AOSP roms on my old Desire, I wanted a similar experience. It's been running extremely smooth and it basically runs anything I throw at it.
However, I'm starting to get an itch to try out some of the new Sense 4 ROMs that have been popping up of late. I used to love Sense on the Desire, but felt it slowed down the phone considerably compared to AOSP builds (Sense 3.X especially).
Are there any performance drags by going to a Sense 4 rom? I'd love the extra features, but I also highly value snappy performance. Also I'd love to hear a few suggestions of solid Sense 4.0 ROMs to try. From what I can see, PKMN, Insertcoin, and Ordroid are popular choices?
Any thoughts? Much appreciated
There is indeed a performance drag on every sense 4 rom I've tried (all of them). Its not that they're laggy or anything but moving from application to application has a one or two second delay, sometimes more, so the roms are just kind of slower. Just do a nandroid backup and try it out.
Most people will tell you there isn't any kind of speed issue but if you favor performance like I do, you'll see it instantly.
I don't notice a problem with sense 4, in fact its very nice. Download and judge for yourself. I think you will
Be suprised on how nice they are. If you don't care for it, no harm done, just flash back. Its always best to try for yourself and make your own conclusion. Best of luck.

I've had a similar experience .. After a couple of months during which I (happily) used VI, the urge to flash was too strong.. and since VI wasn't updated any more I started trying the main roms on the forum..
Sense 4 is very nice, but I'm very sensible to smoothness and speed and imho senseless aosp rom are by far the best at the moment.
Now I've been using berserk for a while and It has become my daily driver
