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

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.

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.

hi guys,
would you mind sharing your preferred sense 3.5 rom?
This is for the wife's phone so it's more fore stable rom for daily use.
Thanks
InsertCoin worked well when I tried it. I'm staying put with Sense 3.0 though, because Sense 3.5 doesn't play nicely with using Exchange ActiveSync with Gmail (although that might not matter in your case).
To be honest though, Sense 3.0 looks nicer to me.. Sense 3.5 just seems black and white everywhere, even when using the Blue sky theme..

Bulletproof is the best. No bugs whatsoever. Roman is a great dev.
I agree on the bulletproof...best rom i've used to date on my Sensation(and I've tried most of them) Not saying others are bad but something about BP just felt right...stable..nice extras...and for me the real thing that kept me using it was my ridiculously amazing battery life. I'm a heavy user on my phone(it doesn't leave my hand) and I'd easily get 13+ hours without a charge. Usually I'd just through my phone on the charger before I went to bed and it was just hitting the red.
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.

+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.

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 just got mine about three days ago.
Coming from a Galaxy, EVERYTHING about HTC sense makes me sick to my stomach.
Went with the one with most views I saw - AndroidRevolutionHD, and went through the INSANE process of going from stock to ICS.
Now running 1.7GHz, replaced HTC sense with the AOSP themes.
Only bugs I see so far are htc.bg crashing, messaging app getting rather wonky with multiple texts, and the music controls sticking on the lockscreen after Google Music closes. Also no MMS at home for me. No signal, Wifi calling only, but the AOSP app doesnt support that. Boohoo.
So that's my reccomendation.

Didn't try this Rom but if it realy have this bugs its not useable i think.
For most people its more important to make calls than use BT or make videos.

Dont think so because than you would not say that there is not much difference in speed between Sense with AOSP theme / launcher and pure AOSP.

Same here. Although, I like the Sense launcher, to me 3rd party launchers with Sense feel really out of place.
On a side note, I hope LauncherPro gets updated someday. It was excellent on Gingerbread and Froyo on previous phones.

While I mostly agree, I need to correct some things....no offense.
Virtuous isn't AOSP, it's an AOSP "experience" based off sense base. True AOSP right now is Opensensation which is (CM9).....also as listed in your last suggestion cm9 (opensensation) isn't that customizable right now.
Also, while many suggest to try them for yourself......to someone who just rooted their new sensation, this can be a long process, with plenty of time consuming reading and configurations....
So I think it's best to offer the OP a starting point:
Pure stock like sense (3.6) - ARHD
Pure Stock like Sense (4.0) - Don't know if there is one, most I've tried are too laggy, and have too many bugs....but try any one to get the feel...maybe Coindroid
Pure AOSP - Opensensation (I don't even notice the bugs as listed)
Pure MIUI - There isn't one
- MIUI.us and MIUI android are based off sense base
- UltimiuIcs is based off AOSP, but developer is finishing exams
Given the above, they offer a starting point (with MIUI and sense 4.0 a starting point just to see what it's about) IMO, I'd wait for MIUI AOSP based if you like that, and wait for bug free sense 4.0 if you like that.
The rest of the roms, sense and AOSP are just variations on the starting points above.....with some being tiny, tiny visual variations (the rest under the hood), and others quite a few modifications.
As far as my onions:
- I find sense too laggy, I mean our phones can handle it....but of you want battery life, your gonna have lag.
- I recently moved to Opensensation, and can't even compare the speed....even underclocked, undervolted....while I do miss some sense features, they don't even compare to the speed.
- I recently tried "eyecandy" AOKP, based off AOSP....and there is a lot of tweakability and theming works as I'm sure more will be available.
As far as kernels.....if running sense, I'd use bricked, if running AOSP, use stock kernel with rom, or faux kernel.
Hope that helps for a starting point....and NANDROID...NANDROID!
That way you can easily revert back if you don't like one or get into trouble.
Cheers!

I was waiting for a stable release of CM9 which came weeks back and i downloaded it on the same day itself.
I love love love the Sense UI, the lockscreen and way i get music, missed calls and messages over it which has been restraining me from rooting along with the new black notification bar !
Another thing holding me back is that after rooting and flashing CM9 I will most definitely lose the Beats Audio Integration right ?
So...suggestions ?
If you love Sense, dont switch to Cyanogen. Its nothing like Sense.
But you will still benefit from rooting. And if you want to upgrade your user experience try out some of the other Sense based roms that will let you keep Sense and Beats and give you more stability and options

I'll wait till a fix and then try sense based ROM's. I prefer a stable ROM since i'm gonna use the phone everyday. And suggestions if you have a good Sense based ROM in mind ?
Thanx :highfive:

If you love Sense, dont switch to Cyanogen. Its nothing like Sense.
But you will still benefit from rooting. And if you want to upgrade your user experience try out some of the other Sense based roms that will let you keep Sense and Beats and give you more stability and options

Eventually ...who want beats audio on senseless rom try this. You need to be rooted and flash from recovery.

You can always try sense 4 ROMs. In my opinion the UI is even better than sense 3.6 and you lose none of the great intuitive widgets or beats audio that HTC provide. Viper is quite popular when it comes to sense 4. Link to the thread is in my sig.

Yeah, Sense 4 is better, love the dialer especially Anyways, can i have the pure sense 4 look from the Viper ROM ?
I know and have read a lot that it is one of the best and stable ROM for sensations but i dont really like the blue-blue tinge to everything and the altered lock-screen. But, i know this only from the 3-5 screenshots i have seen of it....i am relying on you all to explain it to me (or you could post the thread which has more screenshots than the official thread)
Meanwhile i will YouTube it Thank for the help
Btw, your work on operator logo's is just amazing just checked it out. Could i use it on another ROM though or only Viper ?

Thank you for your compliment! always nice to hear my work is appreciated. But unfortunately, its only for the viperS (sensation) or viperX (one x) ROMs.
As for pure sense 4, viper has it. The screenshot you prob saw was the AOSP lockscreen you can switch to in the tweaks. It's the standard lockring from 3.6 otherwise. As for the blue tinge, I'm not quite sure what you're referring to. There's no blue tinge to anything I've seen while using the ROM. Just flash it to try it out. You won't be disappointed!!!
I think you have seen the blue then from jerrytans all in one theme, just flashing viper s alone gives you a really stock sense 4 feel by default

Surely . But right now I'm out of town and I have only 900 mb remaining on my data card which I have to restrict in 15 days after that will download surely. I saw the video and looks really finely made.
