what is the difference between sense 3.0 and 3.5? and which one was on the stock sensation 4g?
3.0 came on sensation 4g
i think that we needed a new platform to support these new senses 3.0 and 3.5
InsertCoin is the best ROM for the Sensation hands down. Performance and battery life is outstanding.

This is funny!
I would say you try by yourself and decide for yourself, Everyone has different opinions and will probably give you their own personal perspective.
You might have a different opinion and like something else or maybe not. just flash the most used ones and see if you like them and go from there.

I agree with this guy here as opposed to the other two members. I've tried BOTH roms listed and they're basically the same. Just very ever so slightly different. I used to use ARHD but then I started using other roms because Mike doesn't update his often. InsertCoin gets updated pretty good but I experience issues once in a while (it's nothing severe though) and it's not a bad rom at all. I'm using bulletproof though because I love all the mods he adds on. It's really up to you, gotta try and find out what you want and like.
Agree that it's up to you to try, test, tune, etc what's best for your needs & likes! Take a deep read in the Development section...happy flashing!
CM7 is the best rom on sensation by far.
CM7.

I started using custom ROMs with my G1 and CyanogenMod. I stuck with that exclusively for a really long time through different devices. Since it has taken a while for CM to come out on the Sensation, I started flashing all kinds of different ROMs. That's the beauty of Android and XDA. You can try all kinds of stuff out and decide what you like the best. I currently use Android Revolution HD 4.1.3 (Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5) with the Amaze camera. I'll use this until a stable version of CM comes out with a better camera. I also use ADW.Ex launcher. This works for me for now because it has a really nice camera, but I've tried a TON of ROMs. Whatever you do, ALWAYS search for answers, use the appropriate forums (General, Q&A, Themes & Apps) properly, and have fun.

Cm7. If I want a sense buzz I'll go with bulletproof 2.15. You can't beat those tweaks.

I checked the following thread and made my decision: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200118
I don't want to give recommedations since there are a couple of awsome mods floating out there...
If you like Sense and eye pleasing colours and animations go with CoreDroid. Wipe battery stats when you flash a new rom (made a big difference for me).

+1 for Sense. If it only was as fast as it is pretty. Custom ROMs fix that though...
I very much dislike Sence. I either prefer stock gingerbread or Miui
I like touchwiz because it works the best.
Im a SPB MS fan, a bit pricy but just worth it in my opinion. They also have an experimental 3d mode which I hope they will improve upon for my evo 3d

HTC Sense FTW!
Original ICS Looks great!
+1 for Sense. It really is visually rich, and it would be incredible if it was as fast as it is beautiful. I tried the only AOSP ICS ROM for the Sensation for a while, and I think pure ICS has itself quite a good looking UI, but since the ROM I was running still has a lot of issues, I've already switched to a just-released Sense 3.5 ROM from a team I've always loved. Just installed it, and holy smokes is it smooth when paired with a particular kernel a lot of users recommended.
I can't wait to see what we get in the near future. Whether we get ICS with Sense 3.5 from HTC or if we get ICS with Sense 4.0, either way it should be pretty exciting, as I'm sure it should finally take care of the one downside of Sense-speed.
HTC Sense is the best!
Well,Sense on a device with less than 1gb of RAM isn't recommended in my opinion.HTC made the mistake to release devices like the Desire HD and Sensation with 768mb of RAM.Anyway,paired with adequately powerful hardware,Sense is awesome.And,while up to Sense 2.1 everything was quite slow,Sense 3 and 3.5 have *proper* hardware acceleration and they are at least smooth as hell.And I only own a Desire HD,not some dual-core HTC phone.
Other than Sense,ICS on the Galaxy S II is more than just good in fact.I've been missing Sense with Gingerbread(God,I hate TouchWiz's launcher),but ICS seems to make up for the loss.Oh well...
I hate sense, and I love the new optimus ui(optimus sol)

My favourite UI is tw but the best looking is sense. If only sense wasn't so fat.

Which roms are the best and must be tested ?
I need your opinion.
ARHD, no doubt.
i cannot tell you which rom is the best one, all of our devs are awesome, and it is rude for us to compare roms.
i am using coindroid now, and it is really great.
They're all differently catered to each users own needs, really. Personally, I'm always torn between whether or not I want Sense or not. So i've moved between Elegancia 4.0 and Virtuous Inquisition. I enjoy the ablitity to have standard ICS, because it's definitely a bit quicker in some instances. I sometimes get better battery life, and the menus aren't cluttered with two settings (one for sense, one for ICS.) Sense is very good looking, however. The Widgets set your phone apart and its hard to beat the aesthetics of Sense.
That being said, I've used ARHD and to suggest it is anything but fantastic is foolish. Great battery life, great customization, very stable.
The devs here are great and they all bring something to the table.

There really isn't a best or worse Rom. They all have pros and cons. Some are more popular than others. Some people like sense, and some more AOSP like. 3.6 sense Roms are more stable than 4.0. Aosp like roms are faster and more battery friendly, but they are also more bland in my opinion (I like sense). Most of the 3.6 Roms are pretty stable and efficient. ARHD is great and stable and with lots of support, and it is also the most popular one and it is not themed at all (looks just like stock). The one I'm using now is Elegancia which is also great and stable with great support and heavily themed look that I for one enjoy. Insertcoin (also good) has the stock look but has some additional mods like Leedroid tweaks and battery percentage. These three are probably the most popular ones.
Like I said there really isn't a better or worse. It comes down to what you want and like.
right now i`m using virtuous inqusition . Is a great rom, nothing bad yet.

No offense meant to the op but I really hate these kind of threads. Besides the fact that there are approx. a billion and one threads with the same question, there is never an answer. Everybody likes different things and everybody will recommend what they themselves use. Personally I've got no use for ARHD but tons of people seem to like it. I've tried AOKP roms and like them but I actually miss having Sense so currently I'm on InsertCoin.
Try it all, that's what each and every one of these "what is the best..." threads ends up with. And just a suggestion for anybody else considering a "what's the best rom" thread....maybe use search and add to one of the already started threads?

I've been using Insert Coin for a while til I shifted to CoinDroid recently to check Sense 4 out. I suggest InsertCoin with Sense 3.6. But you have to try all to choose what is best for you
Try a few is the best for u...happy flashing!
Only you can decide which is the best rom for you, but I would recommend Insert Coin for Sense 3.6, and Ordoid for Sense 4.0. Although there are still bugs with all sense 4.0 roms atm, like you cant send files over bluetooth atm.
I use OpenSensation, very good ROM
+1
These threads are always very subjective.. everyone will say that a particular ROM is better and everyone else will argue with that.
It all depends on what you like and what you feel will best suit your daily activities.

You don't want to stray out of this set of forums. International one x roms could easily brick your phone.

Sorry I could not resist. Back to being a good boy now.
Until we get the kernel source for the 4.0.4 I think sense 4.1 based roms are going to give the best performance and battery life. I do prefer aosp based roms but what is the point if you end up sacrificing all the things that aosp roms are supposed to give you just to get away from sense.

Yea I ended up going with aokp 4.0.4 and well after a day I actually missed some things from sense so went back to my backup
I think the reason I was skeptical of sense was because of touchwiz on my old skyrocket
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
What ROM did you decide on? I flashed pretty much all the available ROMs for our phone and found myself coming back to CleanROM 4.5. The CleanMODS definitely adds value and it's very good on battery too. Usually get about 16hours of moderate use and she's down to about 35% at the end of the day.
Also, Sense 4.0/4.1 is much better than any of the other OEM skins (TouchWIZ, Blurr, etc..) as it's the most intuitive of all the skins. Prefer it to AOSP Android now because it's just as snappy with so much functionality included. Ran AOSP ROMs on my old DZ because Sense 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.5 were all crap and bloated; as soon as Sense 4.0 came out, it was like HTC finally got the message.
+1 for CleanRom.
Do your homework. The ScottsRoms CleanRom 4.5 DE had everything I wanted and nothing else to bog it down.
I'm also an APEX believer now for the fact that it restored my desktop after an upgrade.

Yeah sense 5 will be awesome. But let's wait, until HTC release sense 5 for ville c2. This could take some time as we all know
I tried it, it boots. Everything else doesn't work. We need the ville to get sense 5 so we can port it from there.

Keep telling yourself that
Sensation was released with great hardware but HTC didn't bother trying to futureproof any of it. They just released something they thought was great, and didn't bother to pay attention to the competition. Look at the hardware differences between the sensation and the gs2. Sensation has less ram and no NFC.
hah

Maybe once the kernel of AOSP/JB with ION can be used on cm10 and cm10 based roms,it will have a better performance.
