[Q] Selling sensation & need most stable rom - HTC Sensation

Hey guys I'm selling my sensation on eBay since I'm getting the gs3 Thursday & I'm wondering what is the most stable rom for me to flash that the new, possible noob, user shouldn't have any problems ru.ning? I've been on virtuous Inquisition for several months but it does have some bugs & quirks, and I don't want someone ordering the phone & then complaining that they're having issues w/ it. This happened too me about a year ago when someone who had no concept of what a rooted phone is ordered my g2 from me.

Mike's newest rom. It's super smooth
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA

Personally, I would just run the TMOUS ICS RUU and be done with it. The ICS release we got from TMOUS is actually very stable, is easy on battery and is pretty good on speed.

Agreed with that, tmobile seems to have fixed all the stupid bugs htc left in their RUU's.
Also if you're selling it, it would probably be better on a stock RUU like the tmous one than a custom ROM

I'm definitely recommending stock non-rooted ROM. It will be stable, secure and new phone owner always will be able to install ROM of his choice if he will need to.

what is the best ROM to install for rooted mytouch?

there are so many to choose from.. i currently have RoyalGinger 2.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978643) installed.
there are so many different ones and i kept the RG2.1 cause i like the way it looked and i read some where that was the best one in terms of speed and battery yet allowing full control. the only thing i want to do is change some of the colorization to the dial pad but i can live with the stock colors..
thanks for the discussion!

it has the new sense 3.0 inteface and is running gingerbread 2.3.3
it is based off the offical release of the htc sensation 4g from tmobile
has great battery life and overclocking program built in
by far best rom out there for the mytouch 4g
check it out
current version 1.27 released on July 4th
hope this helps
I just bought this phone used on ebay (black one with otterbox) looking forward to upgrading from my LG Optimus T (using wind mobile in Canada).
I was just about to ask this question. Any other suggestions? The suggestion above is the phone that caught my eye the most in the developers section...
Any other tips for a new user, must have software, etc...?

i 2nd this rom
ive been using iced glacier since February and im having the dreaded eMMC issues with my phone so this one is going back to Tmo so i figured id reroot it and mess with new roms before it went back
I must say the eVIL D Virtuous Unity rom is absolutely spectacular...clean interface...sense 3.0...gingerbread 2.3.3...its fast with real nice features...highly recommend it
Big fan of Virtuous Fusion (Note: While evil_d knows his way around the Glacier, Virtuous Fusion is not "his" ROM. It was a Virtuous effort, so thanks go out not only to evil_d, but to the entire Virtuous team.). It's fast. Stable. Easy on the battery. And if you flash the latest radio from the Panache (26.09.04.26), I think you'll like the results). O think it's faster and has better cell, Wi-Fi, and GPS connections. Just my own humble 2 cents.
CM7 is legitimately if you don't want Sense. Let's face it. CyanogenMod is legendary for a reason.
Again, that's my 2 cents.
Sorry but we do not allow "best" rom threads, here is why...
There is no "best" rom, everyone has different needs and things they expect from a ROM, its up to you to decide.
Also, these threads nearly always end up in a flamefest when someone says that X is better than Y.

Desire to Sensation. I feel like ive gone backwards.

I owned the desire for about a year, flirted with the sgs for a short while and now i have gone for the dogs b.....ks, ive had the sensation for 3 days!
W.T.F. The battery life is aweful, sense fc's randomly screen doesn't appear to be any better than the desire and scrolling lists is aweful especially in my favourite friend stream and news widgets etc. etc. ...
On my desire i ran RCMixS which had sense 2.1 with sense 3.0 lockscreen and it ran far more smoothly than my new device and when i sold it i first reverted it to stock and it was like lightening!
On my new sensation i ran stock 2.33 and played with this and was most disappointed but luckily, i thought, 2.34 is available so i s-offed, rooted and tried a few 2.34 based modded roms. Not impressed so i went to stock 2.34 which was marginally better but still terrible.
What is going on here, htc's flagship phone and it's streets behind the sgs that i owned (sgs 1 that is!)
I loved the sense ui but why have htc released it this state??
I woke up to the postman on Saturday morning excited (yes at my age!) and now i am one very p...ed off htc customer with another 2 year contract.
Presuming that you have made sure there are no rogue apps preventing your device from sleeping, here's the "solution" to your problem:

Maybe you nedd to do a few things to make your experience with your new phone better. I have had the opposite feelings about this phone that you mentioned. Try running this setup, its awsome on battery life and no lag!
1. Flash InsertCoin 2.3.4 v2.2.2
2. Flash the new EU radio
3. Flash the RIL .0169HMQ
4. Install Spare parts and put window transitions to "fast".
I'm running the same exact setup minus InserCoin because I wanted to run a TMOUS based 2.3.4 rom. Try it...it will help! The phone is fast as hell and stable! hope this helps!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867 flash it in CWM. It will give you Max optimization for the radio. Assuming your on a 2.3.4 rom, grab the last one on the list.
If you're already using a ROM based on 1.45.401.2 and have the latest radio then you have the correct RIL already
You're out of your mind if you think sgs is better. I've used both and this is much faster. Just try the browser on a loaded website.
Gotta love these trolls.
Try ROM+Kernel associations until you find something that "fit" your phone well.
I am running Android Revolution HD with Unity v8 kernel, that's the best for me, but for some Unity v8 is very slow.
For others, InsertCoin is faster than unity whatever the kernel.
Others think Stock kernel is smoother and more reliable than custom kernels
etc
etc
etc
What I mean here is that the Sensation is weird in the way people flashing the same rom, same kernel, using the same clockwork, flashing just the same way, experience very different results! I can have 7606 CF bench points with my rom, some will have 1800 with exactly the same
Really, try again, reboot at least twice after flashing, make your opinion, try anoither kernel, if you don't like, flash another ROM
it's, in my opinion, and for the current situation, impossible to tell what rom or what kernel is the best.
Just one thing is sure for me: Sense is really not optimized, so I always remove it and use Launcher Pro instead (but some where reporting Launcher Pro as slow and other launchers fast, etc, once more it varies a lot!)

Simple, they haven't.
Either 1) you've got a duff phone (most likely) or 2) Vodafone have screwed their Sensations.
Mine on O2 is lovely, but then I've never had a slow phone from O2.
You've changed ROMs and still had issues, which suggests a hardware problem.
Flash it back to stock, take it back to Vodafone and demand a replacement/repair.

What has been your experience with rooting your Sensation?

I've reviewed some of the ROM comments and browsed around on the net but can't seem to come to a conclusion on if I should root my device or not. I had a T-mobile G2 before and it was rooted. I loved testing out other roms and finding ones that works best as well as obviously the boosts in speeds.
The Sensation to me feels more complete and aside from some useless apps and the occasional glitchy things that happen with it I'm pretty satisfied overall.
Can anyone provide some positive user experiences with rooting their devices or if some of the roms correct some of the known issues with the Sensation reliable without causing other issues lol?
I'm really up in the air about this and can't decide, what do you guys think?
I rooted my sensation just Cos I did the same to my old x10 mini, I found rooting it was easy following the guide on here and flashing new roms is easy too, all I can suggest is that you read the instructions, try different roms to see which one works for you and don't forget that rooting voids your warranty

When flashing custom roms are you losing all installed apps each time and finding you need to restore via titanium? I ask because I've seen threads say you do and don't lose your installed apps and data.

Heyya,
I'm pretty new here and my experience with android devices was 0 up to three weeks ago when i decided to buy the sensation. I then stumbled upon XDA dev forum and now i'm hooked .
I decided to root and flash a custom rom three days after getting the phone... as far as eye candy goes Sense is brilliant but the functionality is 0.
The whole process of installing clockwork, perm rooting and flashing a custom rom took exactly twenty minutes and was no hassle at all.
At the moment i run P3d Neon-No Sense and the phone is a whole lot better. Battery life is double, RAM consumption is 1/2 and overall the performance is great.
So... my advice... root and flash away!
Thanks jeryko that's the kinda thing I was looking to hear. The sensations touch screen is the only reason I'm Leary about voiding the warrenty with rooting. If you unroot the device can they still tell?
I love sense I think it integrates things nicely and visually (with the exception of a few minor things) and gives a way more polished premium feel to devices. However as stated above it does bog down the phone a bit...even with the dual core. HTC really should have added 1gb of ram I think. Overall though my phones not slow just sometimes a little stutter here and there.

ive rooted my sensation, well i at least i did / was rooted before the update came out. to be honest i haven't seen any reason to reroot. i still have a unlocked boot loader but the urge to root and flash roms isnt really there for me yet. this is probably because i am happy with sense 3.0 and the phone doesnt lag for me at all after the latest update. the only real thing that will probably get me to root again is when a good aosp rom releases or CM7. i really miss having then bluetooth capabilities of a stock aosp rom
No problem. Well... the sensation has it's drawbacks but price/quality it's definitely worth the money.
About the warranty issue... can't really tell you... I've read on the forum that you can Switch back to stock rom and kernel and S-ON again but the procedure (for S-ON) is a bit risky and frankly i have no clue if after you go through all that there's any way of telling that the phone has been tampered with... you'll have to ask the older and wiser folks around here for a knowledgeable answer.
Root it, stop delaying the inevitable.

And that's why I don't regret going s-off and flashing custom ROMs. Root just comes with the territory.
Funny thing, I went custom on my Sensation within the first week while I left my wife's stock. Fast forward three weeks later, I was pretty satisfied with the speed and stability on my phone. I pick up my wife's phone and unlock it to surf the net. First thing that happens? Random restart and back to the HTC splash screen. Really?? I'd totally forgotten about the random restarts and choppy home screen scrolling. Ended up s-offing that thing and flashing a custom ROM that same night. She hasn't complained about her phone since.
I'm so tempted....you guys are evil lol Seriously though the only thing holding me back is the warrenty being voided. I didn't care so much with my G2(that thing was the most reliable phone ever) but the sensation is still new and I'm skeptical about how long the hardware will keep up and all. My biggest complaint would be the volume on some things ...everything else works great though except an occasional lack of response until I lock and unlock the phone...which is rare.

The ONLY reason I rooted was to remove the apps I don't want to use. I'm running my own ROM which is a basic version of 1.45.401.2 with all the crap I don't want removed. If it didn't have the **** on the ROM in the first place I probably wouldn't have bothered to root it

Agreed....
I unlocked the bootloader as soon as I could and started loading custom ROMs. I've been running the P3D ROM (Sense version) for a few weeks now, and it's doubled my battery life plus it's faster. My brother has his Sensation still S-ON stock (latest OTA update) and we compared it side by side and we both agreed mine is noticeably faster. I also like the blue neon theme with that ROM.
Even that particular ROM aside, I've had generally better battery life with anything other than the stock ROM. That alone is enough reason to do it IMO.

Ok I know that I am a noob to rooting and installing roms. Currently I am on my second one Android Revolution HD™ 3.0.3. Rooting it was the best thing I've done. i wish I would have gotten the balls to root years ago!
Hi, I know I asked earlier but when you flash a new Rom do you lose all your apps and data? I see many people flashing new roms weekly and daily and am just wondering how you deal with all your apps and data. I can't imagine everyone starting from scratch each time. I know titanium can do a batch restore, is that what everyone does? (Sorry for my noobish behavior in this thread.)

I am very happy with my rooted Sensation. My previous phone was a rooted Nexus One. I can say that rooting is a great way of customizing your phone to your liking.

Titanium batch, best app purchase for the crack flasher. I timed myself, 30 mins tops to go from one rom to another

+1 for Titanium batch! A must for all heavy Flashers
We should have root access out of the box. Too much fun stuff, but impossible to find a ROM perfect for you. Your going to tweak something eventually
just got my sensation 4g still in box..first thing on to do list is "root it and boot it"
currently running HTC HD2 with ndt miui rom...love it but got to have that 4g

Is any one else disillusioned?

Yes, yes I know the benefits of ROM's but man there are really getting on my tits.
I am fed up of things not working, the 'phone locking up, for what some battery and performance improvements that I don't even notice in day to day use.
My DHD admittedly ran better with Lee's and Mikes ROM's, my Sensation ran better in stock and every ROM I have tried have so many issues it's unreal.
If u dnt like the roms, don't use it!!! Haha

I've had no serious issues using custom roms on my sensation. Definitely happy I upgraded from the desire hd.

It may take a little patience, but it is definitely worth it on some of the ROMs. I have been sticking with Mike's ROMs and couldn't be happier. His latest 3.6.1 has been running flawless for me and many others. I guess you just have to find one you enjoy and keep looking back until it is completely daily stable.
Ops post is quite painful to read an I'm not even a dev, but I guess I understand where he is coming from. But op what you don't realize is that people who post roms go through a ton of work to get to where they are. Believe it or not but I'd go as far as to say that the devs for my phone (motorola milestone v1) know more about the phone than the group of developers from motorola.
Op, I'll dumb it down a little for you, if you need a stable phone stick with what it was when you pulled it out of the box. But if you wish to go a on an epic journey filled with ups and downs of situations where you'll sit there with a huge smile across your face, stick around, thank the devs for the gift they have given you, and if at all possible learn a thing or two while you enjoy your stay.

There are a number of ROMs that are plenty stable. You just have to find the right ones. I'm on CoreDroid 2.4 which has proven to be as stable as stock for me. Don't be surprised if a ROM you run that isn't on stock kernel and runs hacked Sense 3.5 isn't stable.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate all the work the dev's put in, I have only used Virtuous, Leedroid and Android HD but I have never had an install without some issue. Then the next version comes out and you have a different set of issues it's just so frustrating.

No such thing as a bug free ROM, not even stock
OP, try insert coin, a 2.3.4 version (latest is 2.5.5 ver2 w/ bricked kernel) its the best ive used to date, with frequent use, i get 1 day battery life, and with average-minimal use, i get 2 days battery life. no crashes, reboots or sense reloads, 200mb free ram (unless you use a custom theme).
while i would have agreed with the op when dev first started, this is no longer the case anymore. the devs have learned A LOT about this phone, and its builds and have only gotten so much better with time.
the main reason ppl come to XDA is so they CAN flash many, many roms to see what suits them. when i had my HD2 i was a certified flashaholic, new rom every 3 days to a week
with this fone ive settled down quite a bit, but when i new rom/dev comes along, i nand backup, flash the new rom, let it settle and then try it out for a few days and actually give it a chance.
Custom ROMs are fun because there are so many out there, and you can spend time with each one to determine which one fits your needs. If you're looking for a phone that is stable, just use the one that's been working the best for you and improvise, fixing what needs to be fixed so that your phone can do what you require of it.
Using Android Revolution HD 3.6.2 and its stable for me, had more issues with stock ROM.

Sensation/XE in the Philippines

Okay then. Since we were already discussing at the 'DHD in the Philippines' thread already, let's start this thread for the the Sensation/Sensation XE.
So I'll start
I got my Sensation XE just 2 weeks ago and I bought it at a nearby SM. I waited 'till day 2 to root my phone and flash a custom firmware (since I couldn't stand the rooting itch )
This is just my second Android phone and I came from using a Samsung Galaxy 551 with hardware Qwerty. I gave in to the pressure since there's not enough community support for it.
Nobody?
I got my Sensation XE as a gift las Christmas. Rooted and flashed a custom ROM within 2 hours. Very happy with my phone and, in general, with the Android platform. Came from iOS, I just love how "free" Android feels.

Hi! I've got my Sensation XE last December too as a Christmas gift for myself. ^_^
I've already tried almost all available custom roms for Sensation but I keep going back to ARHD 6.2.1 ICS (sense removed)
Last Christams? perhaps do you mean this christmas?
Wow so I see most of you guys got yours under the Christmas tree

Enjoy your stock phone first It will come to you when its time to flash. But when you start flashing custom ROMs, it's kinda addicting and you'll never stop looking for the best setup
Nice to see lot of Kabayans here . Bought my Sensation during the initial release here in SG last June 2011. And rooted after 6mths of usage as it is under warranty. , used DF520 as ICS and CD3.3 for GB.
I got mine 6 months ago... Got the courage to root and s-off Nov 2011... Really itching to flash ics but still hesitant... At the moment, its powered by insertcoin 3.4.4 with bricked kernel...

Same here. Then i realized i'm too old for this I rather play BattleStar Galactica Online on my free time
I S-OFFed and rooted my phone within 1 hour of getting it LOL. I'm a big fan of the ARHD ROMs. Was using the 3.6.x series up until I jumped on over to ICS with 6.2.1 just last week. ICS really is a big step up from GB in terms of speed and battery life.
Viber is finally working on ICS
Well seeing that most of us (if not all) are on Globe, I wanna know if you guys are on a postpaid line.
I'm on prepaid and I most usually subscribe for the 300MB Powersurf plan.
Also, have you guys tried the new *143# menu?

Singtel is the sister company of Globe here in SG. Im on a 12GB dataplan cant fully utilized the whole month.
I'm on Globe Postpaid. No data plan for me on globe since where I'm based only Smart has wireless broadband coverage.
I'd like to ask though; what accessories you guys have and where you got them from? Since it's relatively(compared to iPhones) hard to find good accessories for the Sensation locally. Thanks!
