Hello everyone.
I would like some feedback from people like me that are running v.i. 4.0.3 that have flashed the new cm9 4.0.4
Do you find it as good as v.i. any major bugs or antthing else i should know before i flash.
Thank you!
I was using VI for while but now I am sold on CM9. VI is basically geared for the people who wanted AOSP ICS but weren't content to use a buggy build like Quattro or TripNDroid. Now that it is getting pretty damn stable and we have BT and 1080p, I don't really see any reason to remain on VI if you're an AOSP-type guy.
Besides, it has a lot of extra features VI doesn't have.

I move back and forth because I need wifi tethering. My Internet provider has been flaky lately and I need to be online. If it weren't for that, I'd be on cm9 fully. It just like VI but snappier!

Which ROM are you using? I'm on VI and would like to give CM9 a try. I've found 2 so far - "Sharpy STRPT" and "Opensensation"

i havent tried cm9 yet because you cant superwipe and that really makes me nervous. What exactly did u guys do before flashing?
I still use Senseless roms cause CM9 is only marginally faster and the AOSP camera is just terrible. You can't refocus video (yet?) while recording, so hopefully you're not recording any moving objects.
The cm9 it's much faster and more responsive I am using it now and love it I switch back and fourth from ordroid

I installed thru 4EXT Recovery. Made sure I had the correct firmware, downloaded OpenSensation and the GAPPS (Google apps pack) placed both on my SD card. Backed up my current ROM. Wiped phone, data and dalvik cache. Flashed Opensensation, flashed GAPPS and rebooted phone. No problems so far. It is slightly more responsive and allows you to set your Ghz for speed or battery life. The AOSP camera does suck though...

Yeah, you should already have the correct firmware. Just remember to backup, and do a wipe. Then flash the ROM THEN the GAPPS. your should be golden.

Whilst I liked CM9 quite a lot, I agree with this statement.
I personally found CM9 smooth, but not quite as responsive as VI. And yes, the ICS camera app does not even get close to HQ camera in terms of quality.
VI is great at the moment, just wouldn't mind having the screen off animation added

I personally think CM9 is more responsive, no HTC bloatware added. The AOSP camera is slightly worse as it has the large grey margin on the side, but then again, I do like the Panorama function, the refocusing sound is also a lot better than the one on Sense
I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed after trying CM9. It is way slower than my Desire HD with CM7. CM7 is great, blazingly fast, and lets you put the launcher entirely in the RAM. There's close to zero possibilities yet, with CM9. Not many options for tweaking, etc.
The stability is horrible, too. I flashed it 30 minutes ago, and it has already crashed three times, even though I wiped everything before the flash.
Not quite fit for use, yet.
What do you think? Right now I am using ARHD + AOSP Script and I am really happy but from long time I want to try an AOSP rom. For now the thing that is holding me back that they have some known bugs and probably more unkown or too little too be mentioned but annoying. I am waiting for a long time but I am still not convinced that these roms are perfect and I want bugless rom and for now ARHD is giving me this. What do you when AOSP will be flawless will it happen?
Try the latest AOKP (b35). I've been using it for over 24 hours and haven't found any bugs
Im running virtuous never had a single issue ?

AOKP is based on OpenSensation so whatever bugs that has, AOKP has.
I don't think we'll fond a stable aosp build for a while. Bluetooth, sound drivers and other miscellaneous drivers are all hacked up drivers. I'd stick with something that is based on Sense with the aosp framework for stability and performance.
That's me though

Agreed.
Build 35 is the best Aosp Rom so far for Sensation. Zero bugs, and the Theme Chooser is a welcome addition.

Yes sense is stable...but aosp or aokp perform just as good or better then sense. Hyperaokp I dont use Bluetooth or GPS so I rarely get bugs.
Benefit of sense? Doesnt overheat quickly,
Battery life as well
AOSP still hasnt figured out the way htc handles the 2 cores, where one core is used until 2nd needed.
AOSP kernels have progressed to as where it uses a single core when the screen is off, but both cores are on wwhen screen is on, resulting in lots of heat and short battery life

HyperSensation vs HyperNonSense
Speaking of HyperSensation and HyperNonSense, what exactly is the difference between the two?
I found out that HyperSensation is AOKP and HyperNonSense is a stripped and themed Sense, but is there anything else?

So with HyperNonSense, I would still be able to use HTC Sense for combining contacts from different places? but as it is Sense, I would also miss out on the customization options that HyperSensation has? -among other differences.

What do you want in the rom (which customization) to be satisfied?
I just tried aokp eye candy for the first time a week ago. I personally love it! Its different and has amazing customization! I found it to be stable and fast. I'm sticking with it for awhile. I really love it. Its definitely different! Its really a beautiful rom! hence the name eye candy. It fits perfectly! Simply wonderful! I suppose it all depends on what you personally like. But id give it a try and sees what you think. It has more customization than cm9 things like rom control where you can over or under clock cpu. Its really worth a try. I was a big sense fan but I don't miss it with this rom. But everyone is different so it might not be for you, however try it. I know I really love it. Best of luck.

I've tried a lot of rom and now i'm on Cm9 rc1: very simple rom, stable and fast
I've also flashed the bricked kernel for aosp rom, so i can Oc the processor and also the 2d and 3d :laugh:

Seeing that there are many options to choose from, I guess than a poll may help us decide. Which ROM are you using now. Are you happy with it and would you suggest it to others?
i'm using the stock one as it shows in my signature.i'm very happy with it
there is no need to suggest it to every one else because everybody has seen it:silly:

I am using bruces CM10 ROM. Working great!
I'm on DragunKorr's Paranoid Android 2.11.
Buttery as hell and i love the hybrid modes. It's not 100% working yet, but the missing elements are so minor that they don't affect me for how I use my phone.
If I weren't using this, I'd be on Bruce's CM10. He really set the standard there with that one and it's only cos I love the hybrid modes that I'm not using it.
Both ROMs have breathed new life into my phone - finally, the full power of the sensation has been realised!!!
pyromod CM9 here, pretty stable and fast. Good battery life too. I would definitely suggest it.
On Bruce's cmx and enjoying it very much very pleased that the CRT animations are fully functioning and the stock SMS app had pop ups now like hand cent does ^^ once they manage to get the front facing camera functioning I will never leave it I have also used berserk mode on by memnoc which I thought was very nice but the fact that I couldn't use wii remotes through Bluetooth on my emulators pushed me to full aosp not too sure where I am going with this aside from Bruce's cmX is highly recommended by me :thumbup: front facing camera and usbotg is all we need now

What about battery life, how is it?
I've tried several different roms. Virtuous Inquisition is good but it was giving me wrong battery reading, kept jumping up and down and I couldn't tell how much battery I had. CM9 is nice but the front facing camera doesn't work (at least on the versions I've tried). CM10 Jelly Bean by Bruce is great but it's unfinished, a couple of things are not working (front facing camera for 1).
I'm on ViperS 1.2.1 right now and I LOVE it. The rom is pretty fast and stable. I enjoy the tweaks the devs have put on it a lot. Battery life is pretty decent. I got around 18 hours on average use.
I think if you want speed and smoothness, go for the CM or AOSP builds, they beat all other in that department. I personally enjoy Sense 4 so I go with Viper S.
I used HyperNonSense for 5 months and just flashed Android Revolution HD an hour ago, no reason other than trying new rom
you have not forgotten anything? smartdroid daemon sense 4? I do not see
Used OpenSensation for some time and was very satisfied except that many icons and fonts are just too small for me. Switched to Anroid Revolution HD 6.7.2 and I love it.
Battery life is just average I think. Since I disabled Wifi, I can live with it.

Hi there, I'm using Viper Rom. I am happy with it! The update had made it much better I do have some weird issues sometimes like Bluetooth turning on by itself but for me that's about the only negative issue I'm experiencing. I do like the customization and really like sense 4.1. I would like to see better battery life from the Rom.but I'm now using sebastian kernel with mod and a slight under volt plus a new mugen battery and I've actually managed to stay on 100% for three hours! Thank God! So hopefully the battery issue is solved. But all in all for the people who like sense roms, yes I would recommend viper. Hope this information helps some how and I wish you the best!

I use Viper 1.3.0
Major categories of custom ROM according to me are -
Sense based - sense 4.0 based or
Sense 3.6 based
sense 4 based
Eg viper, insertcoin, ordroid etc
Sense 3.6 based -
Eg arhd, elegancia, etc
IPhone look - MIUI
Samsung look - cyanogen mod
Plain android - AOKP/AOSP Based
I have very less experience on these. I prefer sense based.

Rom is pretty good. There's not front facing camera, but that's about the only bad point I've found really.
hi guys...
Thanks for this poll...and result...i am trying to flash custom ROM to my sensation 4g...it is very informative to select the right one...once again thanks....
I'm just wondering which rom is the most popular.
And why you like the rom you're using currently?

Been using PACMan since I rooted my One S a few months back. Excellent ROM, HALO seems better in functionality compared to Illusion. Also PAC seems more stable. But try it for yourself and see, each device is different.
mkinney88 stock ROM is smooth and he doesn't push users to "faq" when or if questions arise. He helps as much as he can.
I'm using viper one s 2.2. I tried cm10.1 for about a week. I can't remember exactly why I decided to switch, I don't remember any problems with it. I've used viper long enough to know its really stable. I'm doing less frequent preventative reboots and cache cleaning than I used to with no issues so far. Battery life is good.

Come to think of it, I switched because I felt that a Rom built off a stock HTC base may be more reliable/stable than an aosp ported Rom. I wanted to settle on a Rom to keep long term before getting everything set up, so I didn't keep cm long enough to find any bugs.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Imho the stock (rooted) rom is still the best bet. But only if you have that little bit of knowledge and you are willing to make by yourself the mods that you like (such as autobrightness, battery pecentage, etc.).
I'm running the Xperia rom from taylor, and I'm very happy with it. Very good battery life. And it't running very smooth, but it doesn't have Halo. I like to have Halo, but almost every rom with Halo have a really short battery life.....

All other AOSP-based have problems elsewhere, I need Bluetooth and external camera apps (Snapchat etc) so that rules out Sense 5 ROMs, and Sense 4+ ROMs look inferior and pathetic now.
So yeah, for AOSP ROMs look no further than AOKP, and for Sense based ROMs I recommend you use mine different theme to all other Sense 5 ROMs and is just better
