I've been going through reviews of Sense 4 and I'm contemplating flashing a Sense 4 ROM, but since ROM flashing and the consequent data/apps/settings restoration is an arduous process, I wanted opinions from other people.
Which version of Sense do you prefer in terms of speed, functionality, aesthetics, and any special/exclusive features?
Sense 4 for me.
Sent from my Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
for me sense 3.6. better stability,100% functional, better camera quality.
Sense 4.0 ftw, but if u wait a bit longer, a nonsense rom will take over the forms(android 4.1) for sure thats gonna be my fav, sense 3.6 looks (by my feeling)bit worse.
Sense 4.0
I feel sense 4 is more responsive then sense 3.6 it laggs quite a lot if you ask me .. specially the Rosie launcher
Sent From My Sexy Sensation Running Aokp.
Sense 3.6 is better in terms of multitasking, browser and camera, and sense 4 is better in terms of messaging and keyboard, application speed. I don't know why but browser is awful on sense 4
sense 3.6 for sure !!!
sense 3.6 for me
it's more stable, fully modded and supported here in the forum, better camera, 100% Hardware compatible with our Sensation.
sense 4.0 feels faster and looks better but you seek the sense 4.0 looks you can install skin on sense 3.6....
Sense 3.6 because it's much more smooth, at least for me than sense 4.0
On 3.6 everything works as it should, 4.0 just looks nice and has had some glitches; ie while using chrome w/ sense 4.0.
I would prefer AOSP/AOKP
But if you're asking between Sense, I would choose 4.0. Although there are still a few minor bugs here and there.
I finally flashed a Sense 4 ROM (ViperS by Team Venom) and went back to 3.6 because the menu button sticking around everywhere bugged the hell out of me.
I would choose sense 4 but only because sense 3.6 seems to have really a really big font. Everything looks crisper for me on sense 4. Sense 3.6 seems smoother but the huge font and the app tray bother me.

Sense 4.
It feels much more refined. At first when I saw it in a leaked video it looked horrible but after using it I like it.
Sense 4 for sure !

I'd like to say 4, but I've tried two sense4 roms and both had horrible battery life. I went back to 3.6 and the battery life is much better.
I like 4 visually over 3.6 though.
Probably tried 80% of the desire s roms, I do like the sense 4 and love 4.1. The camera quality on 3,6 is much better and this is only reason for coming back to ICE DS V8 sense 3.6. Overclocked to 1500 get an antutu score of 5236.
I wud prefer sense 4 it's more refined n and has nice looks
hit thanks if I hve hlped you

I know that it is not the full sense 3.0 on the sensation with the 4 apps on the lockscreen but does it have the ability to have the floating slideshow with pictures floating on the lockscreen?
what all does the sense 3.0 on the mt4gs lack that the sensation's version has?
thanks
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/02/t-mobile-mytouch-4g-slide-review/
(scroll down to software)
basically, it says that the sense 3.0 on the mt4gs is customized for the phone and the sense 3.0 on the sensation is the completely stock version. there is a port of the sensation bulletproof rom with beats audio built in. just google it. i flashed it and it is a little snappier than our custom sense. with the customization of the sense for our phone, we gained a couple of cool features and missed out on a couple of cool features. check out that article and try flashing the sensation port and decide for yourself.
Root and use undeadk9's sensation port for the mt4gs for all those goodies

Which Android OS do like?
I'm talking 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.7, ICS.
What ROM r u using and sense or no-sense.
I'll start
Mostly I've been 2.3.5-sense ARHD. that gives me a few different options.
Right now its ARHD 2.3.4 runs good, no prob.
Virtuous Inquistion -- Senseless ICS. I used to like Sense a lot, but when I started using CM7 I don't think I could go back. Sense is very user friendly and accessible, but it the UI just looks a bit too tacky for my taste. AOSP, especially ICS, is very simple and eloquent.
I switched my sensation with my wifes SGS2 and after a day or so I switched back. Guess I got used to sense or it grew on me. I just dont care for how it will sometimes lag for no reason at all. Never saw that on CM7.
Yeah true. Sense is the best manufacture UI. TouchWiz is just trash.
mike's arhd ics all he way
ICS outta the box is amazing.

+1 for Virtuous Inquisition, for the same reasons stated above. Plus it's surprisingly stable compared to the full sense ics roms we have right now.
I've been a huge 2.3.4 advocate up until this point, but honestly I don't think I can go back now.

What about gaming on the sensation? any rom preference? any preference for roms/games combos?
i've been playing bejeweled but I want to play GTA but couldn't get it to work.
I know cordy and fruit ninja were big problems for a minute on the 2.3.4 ROMs.
ICS with ASOP is finally a nice replacement for Sense UI and its cleaner and faster...
I have voted for 2.35, but the newest ICS-Elegancia Rom sounds very good.
Virtuous Inquisition here... would prefer CM9 if available but this is pretty good. I cant stand Sense.. its definitely better than TouchWiz (Samsung) and Motoblur (Motorola) but its still trash compared to vanilla/AOSP
I'm using ARHD 6.0.3
the latest release of ARHD
SEnse ICS ROM
I have had the Desire s since May 2011 so not long after it came out and I have tried pretty much every rom ever made for this device! I have always gone back to the original rom with sense 2.1 because I have found it to be the fastest/smoothest sense rom for our device. No matter how many roms I have installed I have always gone back to sense 2.1 within a couple of days and I would like a new sense rom that is smooth because I hate the cube screen transition on sense 3(it looks so buggy and makes the phone seem ugly as hell) Any help guys?
Try endymion and if u set it up correctly its blazing fast

I agree, at first I hated the 3D cube. But soon you just learn to live with it.
Its a shame because I got my phone around the start of August, and only had 1 month to experience Sense 2.1 before I jumped to Sense 3.0 in September.
I forgot what Sense 2.1 was like!! What Sense 2.1 ROM were/are you running? LBC?
Anyway, just hold out and wait till Sense 4.0A is stable. Its fully 2D and as fast, or is not faster than Sense 2.1 with the benefit of the new Sense integrated features.

Thanks for the help guys. @olyloh6696 I was using the stock 1.47.401.4 rom. I removed the bloatware and It was running quite fast but yes you're right I should wait for the ICS update! Can't wait
Have a really good experience with Bindroid ROM for Desire S. VERY fluid and VERY good battery life.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any good stable sence 3.6 or 4.0 roms, thanks for any of your help.

Not sence but yes senSe..
Sense 4.0a
Sense 3.6
Enjoy. Just do some research, stable has a lot of meanings. Stable for me, can be unstable for you. Many consider the lack of 1080p recording a "unstable thing".
In order of preference, my favorite Sense ROMs:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
I'm going to derail this thread a little bit and throw some support behind Sense.
I haven't found a better weather clock widget than the one Sense provides.
That's pretty much it. I haven't found much use for it otherwise, but that seems to be enough. If it were possible to pull that out, I'd be happy.

so ya, recently i have rooted and S offed with JP method
i wanted sense 4.0 badly so i flashed Ordroid 9.0.0
i was pretty good and everything works ok
but after 1 or 2 days of use, it seriously becomes damn SLOW and i have to clear up the RAM often to make everything smoother.
everything loads slow, Google Chrome is slow, app drawer comes up sow......like u get the point
then i tried CM9 RC2
honestly this was the best thing that ever happened to my HTC Sensation :good:
it was fast and it is still fast after a month of use.....almost everything works perfectly...... it soooo sooo much better.
im in love with it
BUT
one thing which i really hate is its camera
like the pictures which it takes is horrible ! even worse then my old Nokia N96 !
the camera software is bad(since most probably it was made for the galaxy nexus)
so ya the pictures lighting is bad, even if i take a picture in bright sunlight....also it cant take any wide or high resolution pics
also it cant take full 1080P videos
so can anyone tell how i can get that epic camera back to my CM9, like flashing the original camera app or smthn like that
i did do sm research and i found out that HTCs original camera app wont work in cm9 since it was only made for sense
so is there any CM9 like fast Sense 4.0 ROM out there ? is OpenSensation any better ? also i dont want sense 3.6 since its old
i just need a better HQ camera with CM9, Beats sound and HTCs unique features
and ya also WiFi tether if possible
thanks
I'm using elegancia with sense 3.6 and it's working great. If you want sense 4 only, I heard that venom is good.

These are my [size = Alpha Centauri]preferences[/size = Alpha Centauri], so don't take them for granted. What has worked for me doesn't have to do the job for you, it's best to test all ROMs and find out which one suited you best.
Sense 3.6:
InsertCoin worked best for me, because of its outstanding battery life, smoothness, absence of lags, fcs and bugs
Sense 4:
I can't tell, because I dislike it
CM9:
HyperSensation worked best for me, but I can't say I liked it...it was best out of CM9
AOSP:
Virtuous Inquisition, because of the same reasons as InsertCoin
Hope I helped
enacting onyers
ARHD is the Best ROM
If u Love the SENSE Camera n like the smoothness and polished Finish of SENSE 4.0 AND want hell lot of Tweakss..... thn go for the ViperS ROM. U wont be disappointed. :good:

Just a quick note r.e. Virtuous Inquisition. It's AOSP look and feel BUT is still based on a Sense ROM, i.e. it's been de-sensed as much as possible and still has Rosie, the last time I used it it still had the HTC Camera. This is unlike CM9 which is a true AOSP ROM from the ground up.

Install ViperS, you wont be disappointed. And once you use a Sense 4 ROM you wont go back to Sense 3.6.

ya i just installed Virtuos.... its not true AOSP, it still has a Sense in it.... but u can flash the HQ camera mod and the beats sound
also its no way near as smooth and good as CM9
i also checked out OpenSensation, eventhough the camera is better its no way near to the original cam.
So is there any way of gettin the camera good in CM9(a true AOSP ROM) and possibly beats ?
try using SmartDroidBerserk Mode its an awesome rom, sense roms are a bit sluggish.

It's some time since I've used CM, I liked it a lot, then again the camera didn't bother me too much. VI was a good substitute and with a decent kernel was pretty slick. Pure AOSP "should" in general be quicker than Sense based ROMs as it doesn't have the same overhead.
You'll NEVER get beats on CM as it's Sense dependant. CM has its own equaliser which by reputation is better than beats anyway.
r.e. a decent camera in CM have a browse in the CM development thread. I'm sure there will be some comments about it. I'm afraid I can't comment as it's some time since I was on CM, mind you CM10 will be on my phone later today for a look see.
Hey, checkout ARHD(Android revolution XE /w beats Audio) love this ROM check it out. Its fully loaded with everything you would want/need. Fast an stable.
And if you wanna change the status bar just look at sense 3.6 themes or 4.0 in the app store. My only complaint is I hate the settings menu visual layout its sense.
