Hello, I heard that sense 4.0 is GREAT but the stock rom isn't so awesome (its slow and etc).
1) It seems that most of the custom ROMS have Sense 4.0 installed also right? (and the sometimes useful HTC apps which aren't bloatware)
2) Where do we get the stock rom so we can flash back to factory settings? I had a samsung vibrant before and I had to use something called ODIN....
3) I hear the Sense rom that is stock installed has software camera tweaks that makes photos better. Do the custom roms USE it and TWEAK it to make it better or do they leave it out altogether(so the camera photo quality is worse)?
Thanks so much! Just got the phone today! (off contract)

Hello,
i would say that the stock rom isn't really slow... but a custom Rom will unleash your possibilities and give you some really ueseful extras!
1. Yes you are right. Thats because the original Android 4.0 from google is the only alternative (AOSP) wich is portet to other Phones by cynagenmod. But here is the Problem, HTC has not released all off there code. So it is not so easy to get the cynagenmod working stable on the HTC One s. And the most other ROMS like MIUI and so on are based on the cynagenmod. So you will find more ROMs without Sense until the port of the cynagenmod is complete.
2. To get back to the stock Rom you should male a Full clockworkmod Backup before you will flash a custom Rom. So you can easily get back to stock.
3. Thats because off the code HTC didn't puplish. So not every function from the cam is avaliable in the ROMS wich didn't contains the original HTC framework. So ROMs with the AOSP Camera have less functions than the HTC Stock Camera app. But the most Custom Roms uses the HTC camera app. So you can have a custom Rom with all of the Camera options. The Quality of the pictures does not depent to the HTC camera app. The would be some Software filters and so on, but other camera apps have those Filters too. Which one is the Better? Take a DSLR... is my point of view.
TrickDroid and Leedroid perhaps uses the Original Stock Camera app.

which is best custom rom for HTC D s ??
Stable for daily use
Good battery life
fast performance
No bugs
Best... hmmm, that's quiet personal.
I tried LBC Saga 0.5.3 which worked very good, but because off some minor issues (probably my own faults) I changed to Virtuous Unity 1.27...
So if you ask me --> beautiful sense 3.0, no lag/very smooth, better batterylife than stock, ... = Virtuous Unity 1.29!
However, like I mentioned, LBC Saga Mod is also a very good ROM...
Try them both out for a few days and see for yourself!
It's personal indeed but I think the Virtuous Unity ROM is the most stable version.
try miui

I really like Cyanogen on my old bravo desire. There is an unofficial port for the new saga desire, but I read it has GPS issues. I use my GPS daily so like the OP, I am wondering the best custom rom that has NO BUGS.
Going to try this virtuous one everyone is raving about.
Virtuous 1.29 and MIUI!
I've tried all the ROMS for Desire S and for me Virtuous 1.29 is the perfect ROM for our desire S! I love the full sense 3.0 experience!
MUIU rom is also great but it's not yet stable.

Ok, i tried virtuous 1.29 based on recommendations in this thread and others. I really like the look and feel. Could easily get used to it.
Some major issues restoring my backups though. A lot of the apps just won't work once restored, just get a force close button. Perhaps cos I am restoring from Cyanogen which I think was A2SD+ enabled? Would that cause issues?
OK, FIRST,Since you say NO BUGS, Don't try MIUI or CM7
For your first ROM, I'd recommend LBC Mod, the Dev provides a lot of support, it's close to stock and has all the best parts of Sense 3.
After that,Try Virtuous Unity.
Virtuous Unity ROM. Only bug I have faced is voice search does not work. Apart from that, it's perfect.
I've played about with LBC, Cordroid but have settled on Virtuous Unity.
To me it's just more stable but that's just my personal opinion.
The solution to voice search problem for Virtuous Unity v1.31.0 ROM
If your voice search does not work on Desire S for VU v1.31.0 ROM,
you may try the following steps.
1. extra the following three files from "/system/lib" in saga_lbc_mod_v0.5.3-full ROM:
libaudio.so
libhtc_acoustic.so
libvoicesearch.so
2. use the three files to replace your files in /system/lib/ on your Desire S.
3. reboot
it work for me.
good lucky!!
I use LBC and am aware of no bugs within it (that don't occur across all ROMs).
I've tried the other ROMs but always end up coming back to LBC.
IMO it's perfect, has Sense, is fast, decent battery life, it's close to stock and has good user and developer support and regular upgrades...

I tried Virtuous as my first custom ROM but didn't like the 3D homescreen. Also it feels laggy and some things look weird from the 16:9 to 15:9 resizing. Maybe it's fixed in the newer versions i don't know.
So i tried LBC since it's still using the 2.1 launcher. Had a couple of stability issues but it's fixed by using stock kernel. Now it's rock solid.
I didn't like the 3D Homescreen, too. Right now I'm back on rooted Stock ROM. For me the most useful ROM was LBC with update 0.54. Will try this again with stock kernel an new radio.
I tried Virtuous yesterday but for me is has now good battery life (though there are other oppinions) and, but I'm not shure, the camera app isn't working well indoors. Made some pictures and I think the stock app works better.

most of the customization on LBC rom can be removed easily
& custom ROMs take more RAM to make the device faster
after flashing a ROM you need to give it some time to see it at its full speed as it take time for the rom to setup things,give it a day or so
if you want animations you can try spare parts+ & anim mod(paid,you can also get this effect from uot kitchen)

I just tried leedroid ROM, really impressed with it! You should try it out! I removed most miss from it too, so pretty much stock now.
BTW, do you know how to change the HTC keyboard with arrows back to the old HTC keyboard without arrows?

i got bored and decided to try out all the roms and the only one i could see myself using was cyanogenmod. I think most the roms are stable so it's just about personal preference.

Hello.
I'm looking for the modified HTC stock ROM that is wiped out of everything HTC bloated there/changed to AOSP apps. I don't want any of the HTC apps, sounds, icons, themes and lockscreen because I hate them.
The result should be the excellent stability kernel without anything I didn't installed myself.
Unfortunately, AOSP ROMs from kristofpetho or SelfKang do not meet the stability requirements and atm I have to pray to them to release something that will not annoy me with fc's of the apps I'm using.
Please, help if you can

Last I checked cdtdroid made a nice senseless version of pyramid3d
Melvin had made the beast Rom and senseless extreme. I believe they both used stock kernel. There is a video up on YouTube for the beast Rom. I think he stopped supporting them and went to the GS2 forums but they are pretty solid. I used senseless extreme for a while and it was great. But I had a sense calling again and am now on bulletproof.

Insert Coin new version 3.3.9 is with stock HTC kernel. Rom is pretty good.. Fast,smooth and stable..
Use the Revolutionary process (S-OFF, CWM & SU) on a Stock ROM.
Then use: ROM Cleaner - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217664
That way it's completely stock, just minus some stuff.
I'm looking for the modified HTC stock ROM that is wiped out of everything HTC bloated there/changed to AOSP apps.This is slightly more than difficult as they're based on different frameworks (probably the wrong term). You need to either go Sense (cleaned in some manner) or go fully for AOSP. I know that ARHD has a Senseless cleaner, not used it personally as I went straight to CM7 when it was available.
Unfortunately, all "no sense" variations of HTC ROM still keep the icons at least. Seems like it is just impossible to get rid of them.
Thank you for your answers. I'll wait for the stable AOSP ROM or the new Nexus - what will be released first.
Hi,
in 3 or 4 hours my friend comes with his Sensation to me and I'll be rooting and unlocking his phone (as I am experienced and own DHD and have sdk and everything installed). Could you recommend me some custom rom to install on his phone later on? It's going to be his first custom rom and it is his first android smartphone so I thought I could install some Sense 3.5 roms to show him all the eye candys at first, so that he knows what his device is capable of . Could you recommend me some stable and (well, possibly) fast sense 3.5 rom? And he's been complaining to me yesterday about battery life so maybe I'll ask him whether he prefers eye candy or battery life. If he says battery, could you also recommend some AOSP or MIUI roms? As said before stable and fast, with everything working. It's his first rom, I don't want to disappoint him, because it was me who got him into Android, he was previously on some symbian crap .
I would probe say arhd 4.1.8 prity simpol for him 2 get use 2 at 1st

Android Revolution HD, Insert Coin or for pure eye candy (and stable-ness) you want Coredroid or BlackIce
I prefer Stock Euro Sensation LE
Bah, Try CM7 to show him an AOSP ROM. (or even MIUI not tried it personally for ages).
Seriously though, I'd download a few and play with then to show him how easy it is. Especially show him the nandroid backup/restore from CWM so he can easily regress to an earlier version, even his stock ROM.
hi.
I installed a new rom (and radio, and h-boot) on my desire yesterday, and all went well. I'm not great with phones, but can follow instructions well
Today I decided to add the amaze cam to my wife's htc sensation. It's running andoid revolution
, which used the 2.6.35.14 custom kernel, the camera's instructions demand the stock 3.5 kernel, so I downloaded and flashed that (through recovery), then the camera zip, now the phone is stuck on a white bootscreen saying "HTC" in green text.
any simple solutions to get the rom and camera working together?
thanks
downloading another ROM, elegancia, which contains the camera, so gonna go for a wipe and try again solution when i get back from the shops
To me the amaze cam is a joke... I had issues with it.. I'd rather have a kernel I want.

Agreed with the guy above. The amaze cam was cool and all but it wasn't anything great. I used it, tested it, after a while realized it wasn't good compared to the stock camera. You'll even see some roms go to amaze and then go back to stock. I wouldn't bother if I were you. There probably is a solution for your problem, I think it's probably the kernel you flashed which made it hang. Flashing the camera wouldn't cause that error. Double check if you flashed the right kernel for sense 3.5
already pushed the button.
only reason for wanting the cam is the panorama function (lots of hillwalking), I bought the pano app for my phone, but htc's version seems to do a much better job, easily.
i got the same problem.im on hypersensationICS and developer sid that flauxs kernal is better to this rom.so i flashed flauxs kernal and phone is stucked at boot screen.why this happened??

how do you get a stock htc camera......im on cyanogenmod 10.1 and i like the original camera, is there a way i can still have cyanogenmod and the camera
Nope, it requires the Sense framework and therefore will only work on Sense-based roms. It would work on a "de-Sensed" rom.
have you tried team venom 3.1.1
Yep its true you can't get stock camera unless your on a sense/desensed Rom luckily there are two roms in which you can enjoy jellybean and stock camera these as the revelation Rom and venom 3.1.1 both are exceptional roms
