Best Sense 4.0 Rom
Hey, most of the Sense 4.0 roms are very similar. My favorite one though is InserCoin because I can trust him to release regular updates. Virtuous on the other hand always create and abandon the ROM, no regular fixes and upgrades from them.
Running Eclipse - all seem good for what I want it for (don't use WiFi tether or BT)
As for updates, I have no loyalty to one Dev - I'll try them all
Virtuous Eclipse here. smooth and stable.
I don't know
I've been pretty much a CM user since my OG Evo (when I'm not forced to use Sense ROMs) and I see a lot of discussion in regards to other devices of which ROM everyone uses.
I'm wondering, specifically in relation to our One X, what are the pros and cons of say, CM vs. AOKP vs. P.A. etc?
It would be best if you looked at the features of each and decide, but in a nutshell, cm10 if you want a simple aosp Rom that is regularly updated, aokp if you want more customization, and pa if you want tablet experience. For me, my vote goes to cm10. H8rift and folks at cm10 has done an awesome job for us.

It comes down to opinions some like sense some like aosp.... And aosp =android open source project
Aokp=android open kang project
Aosp...PA...and aokp are all stock android built directly from source
AOSP refers to Android as it comes straight from Google. Some also refer to this as "vanilla" Android. From there, manufacturers often add their own "skin" to the OS to help differentiate themselves from the competition. HTC has the "Sense" skin, Samsung has TouchWiz, Motorola has Blur, and so on. The differences can range from diverging from the "vanilla" color layouts and icons, to completely replacing some of the built-in apps (launcher, browser, music player, camera, etc.) with their own manufacturer-proprietary apps.
Really, if you are looking at custom ROMs, you should think of them as being "Sense-based" and "AOSP-based" rather than "AOSP". The spirit of the AOSP-based ROMs is to remain loyal to the AOSP or vanilla feel. But most AOSP ROMs include a huge number of customizations, extra features, that calling them "AOSP" is a big disingenuous, when they are better called "AOSP-based".
Also, some will refer to AOSP as "stock" Android, but this is confusing. By "stock", they mean as Android comes from Google. But in reality, you can also call the official ROM as it shipped with your phone as "stock" (such as "returning your phone to stock"). Since HTC never intended the phone to run without Sense, it makes it confusing to use the word "stock" for AOSP. Better to just call it AOSP.
What a person likes better is purely a matter of personal preference. Everyone has different aesthetic tastes, and expectations on features and performance. So don't let anyone tell you that one ROM is "better" than another, and don't expect to be told that either. It like asking somebody to tell you what your favorite color is.

I have always had the doubt of how do the AOSP based roms stand against Sense based roms in term of usability and stability? do thay function correctly and take full advantage of the One X hardware? It's not very clear (at least not to me) in most of the Rom's description.

If you take time to read through the threads a bit, you will find that they are plenty stable, and used by many as daily drivers. Many people find them faster and more usable than Sense based ROMs. But that is very subjective.
And honestly, I can flash a ROM, and be fully configured with all apps and settings in about 20 minutes. Why not just pick a few that look good, and try them? You can read all you want, but it won't tell you for certain whether you will like the ROM or not. Only way to really know, is to try them yourself.
Since all of the bugs haven't been ironed out in cm..you will probably find more stability on sense roms on this device...but say on the HTC inspire sense is very heavy and aosp would give you better battery

CM10.1 (Android 4.2) is in a fairly early phase, with some bugs. But CM10 (Android 4.1) has been very stable, for a very long time. As far as I know anyway, I'm almost entirely a Sense guy.
If you want to make an apples to apples comparison, there is no Sense based ROM that is Android 4.2 (they are all 4.1). So you are comparing a slightly buggy 4.2 AOSP ROM to one that doesn't even exist (Sense based 4.2). Or comparing the cutting edge to (literally) last year's model.
Again, it just goes back to the subjective nature of picking a ROM. There are probably hundreds of CM users here that will argue that AOSP performs better than Sense.

Yes .. I realize cm 10 is very stable..sorry I don't know what I was thinking with that post
I have used many AOSP based roms as my daily driver, including CM, AOKP, Jellybam, and King Kang. They have always stable and reliable for me. In saying that, ViperXL (which is Sense based) is also very reliable. It comes down to flashing a few and seeing what you prefer.
which one do u guys prefer and why?
me i stick with SENSE because
when mms is received data auto turns on and turns off when done.
refocus camera while recording video
I use sense, for me is fast, stable, battery friendly and i have all the utility from an HTC device, also the camera is awsome, the autofucos and the 1080p video without glitches...
No reboots at all, no problems, full funcionality...
Elegancia 4.1 version 3.6.0 Public Beta
Sense may be more stable but the vanilla experience of android is so much better.
i prefer sense with all utilities of HTC device.
I prefer Sense. Sense looks somewhat professional whereas CM Roms don't. You'll find CM on almost every devices, but will find Sense on ONLY HTC devices.
Sense is only thing that makes difference than Other.

I was a Sense lover (especially sense 4.1) ... But Since i tried AOSP, i just can't go back to Sense !
Running Pure AOSP by Cile381, Android 4.2.2 ... Fabulous !!
I don't miss Sense anymore !

signed :good:
I have tried various roms but so far i must say that i prefer CM over sense (because of all of the modifications you can do)
I prefer sense (ARHD to be specific) mainly because you don't see a "working/ not working" list because everything just works
Sense is cooler but I'd rather have the latest updates than sense if HTC is going to bullsht their way to bankruptcy

There are enough roms now that we have a good choice. Please tell us about yours.
I am using Avatar ROM and it is great. The themes are very cool.
I'm on SHOstock now and I'm liking it. I'm on it mainly because of the hardware features that are not implemented in the other ROMs yet such as the hover preview in apps like SMS and the IR blaster functionality. I really want to move to an AOSP ROM, but I don't want to lose some of the stock features.
Task650's AOKP rom, and Goldeneye are the only ones I've tried so far.
I love the pure Android experience and have always loved AOKP based roms. The customization is endless. Not too mention, its very, very stable, and everything works fine. The Goldeneye rom is based entirely on the i9505 stock rom and this runs very well, as all the samsung crap is gone.
But if you're looking for speed and performance and a 100% lag-free device, go with task650 AOKP rom.
Sorry folks,
"favorite" roms and "best" rom threads are synonymous and thus are not allowed as they spiral into arguments about what is best for one vs another.
Users are expected to read and learn from all the development threads and reviewing the FAQ'a bout the ROM's themselves.
