What Rom should I use? What's the hands down general best?

I am currently using Cyanogen Mod 7 and realizing that I don't like it @ all. The camera is pretty much ****. And it cuts out sound a lot. And I'm kinda feining to go back to sense. So i wanna know if there are any good and worthy Sense 3.5 2.3.5 roms or a 100% AOSP rom, Fast, battery efficient, themed would be nice, over clocked, and all the other goodies.

Have you tried revolution?

to all your own, but i do like the revolution HD 4.1. I like that i can finally delete home pages within sense 3.5

Completely subjective, I like my ROM as it does what I want it to

Me, too. But I'm finding 4.1.3 a bit laggy. Wondering if Insertcoin would be better, and I'm trying to find out what the differences are, but info seems scarce. The advice seems to be: "test it and see for yourself".

like eddyOS said, its subjective.
you need to try out the different roms to find what you like.
i tried practically all the roms, almost all gave me this same problem (mobile internet not working and bad signals) until i found a few and went on trying and testing it and got the one that suits me.

What works for me may not work for you.... and besides, though we have same phone, our experience with the ROMs here is unique with each other...
if you ask me, my bet would be Baad (IC), Mike (ARHD), and Ctdroid's work (no offense to other devs) .... Reason? i dont have problems migrating back and forth with those ROM's + great support from the respective teams... If you want SENSEless, check Melvin and Xboarder56's work...

Stock rooted sense 3.5. See EddyOS's rom in development section.

i am using InsertCoin now ... fast and smooth so far ( juz flashed 2 hrs ago ).
The HTC amaze cam is wicked !
i can feel that it is smoother than my previous bulletproof ( althou it comes with a good tweak option ).

Sense is ****. Try MIUI camera if you don't like the CM7 one. You should stick with CM7 rom though, it's the best.

It's this narrow-mindedness the OP should be ignoring. Just because YOU think it's the best doesn't mean it is

And because YOU think stock android is "****ty and boring" as quoted in another post of yours, that means it is? Pot calling the kettle black bro.

No, just cause I call it **** doesn't mean I'm right. I've never said I am. BUT I'm saying you're wrong to call a ROM 'the best' as there's no such thing. The 'best' ROM is whatever the user thinks it is.
I use MY own ROM the I'VE cooked as, for me, it's the best as it doesn't EXACTLY what I want it to.
All I'm trying to get across is the OP is going to have to try different ROMs and make up their own mind. I'd say that it's worth trying CM7 but I cannot live without the Sense widgets and the general smoothness of Sense. CM7 just isn't as nice in MY eyes, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder
---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------
Also meant to add, once CM7 is out of alpha/beta I'll probably give it a go again and see if it's better than last time I used it. I'm quite looking forward to a proper, official MIUI release as I quite like that

CM7 should be good once it actually comes out of Alpha...I hope. Loved it on my N1. Still having problems though...but it is alpha.

Ive been flashing since the first roms were around on the G1. I like to check out every rom offered for my phone and as of now im back on sense (just like the widgets). But like anyone will tell you there is no "best" updates from all our great devs come out daily.
After testing a lot (if not all) roms on sensation, I found Synergy's latest r85 to be top dawg at the moment. Heres my setup, no problems at all so far its fast, stable, and battery life is great
Flashed in this order:
Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193089
Kernel (flashed recommended 1.2 and then cam fix right after): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256668
Im on 10.14 radio cause it seems to give me best data/batter life, its also what synergy devs are using.
lemme kno what you think

u have to find it out by your own..
but i really recommend S3N5EaY v1.6.0 - 2.3.5 / 3.5 sense..
i know CM7 - revolution hd and some others.. have to flash my phone 2128238 times a week lol ..
S3N5EaY is fully stable, fast and sensational of battery.
let me know what u thinkin about it

Well if cm7 alpha isn't floating your boat that's understandable. It isn't fully released yet anyway right? But if you want a fully operational sense rom that feels like a cm/aosp then you should try the beastrom-sv4. Everything works and it's light and snappy. Not as snappy as cm7Alpha 8 but then again it's sense base 2.3.5 now I believe. Just don't install the themes for it as they are not updated to the new base (still set for the 2.3.4).

Although I'm a fairly devoted Cyanogenmod user, I have to admit the Sense 3.5 based roms are quite snappy. Still not quite as snappy as Cyanogenmod but certainly an improvement over Sense 3.0.
I don't think there is a hang of a lot of difference between the roms though. Inspite of claims made by some that xyz ROM is the fastest, has the best battery life, or whatever I've never noticed a difference apart from the odd tweak here and there. These days if one dev comes up with something really cool it ends up in all the other roms within a week anyway. Each ROM does have it's own distinct favour though depending on who cooked it.

Wicked fast, extremely stable and lots of friendly support.

I am on InsertCoin at the moment, it is a great ROM. More or less stock, but with reasonable featers as Amaze camera.
LeeeDroid is also great, but it is a bit out of date, I hope Lee upgrades soon when he is back.

Good roms?

Any good roms beside endyminion?

I'll be more specific.
Looking for a cool room which is stable.
A room which differs from the regular Android and sense ( Wp7 , ics , etc. )

You can't get much more different from Sense than using an AOSP ROM.
Cyanogen is one, although it has stalled while they work on ICS. I like MIUI and the Galnet one seems particularly sweet and stable. I use mine for work as well as personal and don't seem to have any problems. The most customisable of any ROM and some of the lock-screens make you keep waking the phone up just coz they are so damn good to look at or show off.

i very happy user of ICE_DS v 4.1 rom .
Very fast, clean & stable

Mayb try Reaper, if you liked Endy wich is from the same dev. It's based on CM7 and rock solid. If you want ics stuff Fallout is stable in the sense, that all except wifi tethering is working stable.

I tried it one month ago looking for an ics rom but i did not enjoy it so I reverted to my endymion 3.4 backup (which i think it's still fantastic!).
In fallout I didn't find a way to disable battery %, it lacks some htc widgets and lockscreen (i really like the one with weather)
But beside this, it's really smooth.

I have been using Fallout v4.1 for a long long time and it's smooth, clean and very stable, in 1 month since this version was released, only 1 unexpected reboot. The battery life is incredible, best of any rom, sometimes 2 days. Hope it heps you.

I have stuck with ARHD 6 at the moment.
Their first ICS release was buggy and gaming was a bit of a no go, so i went over to InsertCoin for a while until the 4.0.3 came from ARHD.
Been using that since yesterday with 1.5cpu 300gpu kernel and so far it seems very stable, still no dungeon hunter though

Kernel issue, you'll have to wait till HTC releases the source/another version leaks.

I'm on the 4.0.3 Virtuous. 2.0.1 is fast and has slick hardware accel in the UI. 99% AOSP with Sense cam and Sense notification tray. Love it.

I'm loving Virtuous Inquisition (4.0.1). I got to mess with my uncle's Galaxy Nexus and really liked the stock ICS feel. If u like sense tho, ARHD never fails to impress.

Nothing BEST you can find. The only available is FIT with your need. Tell us what you like, what you want, what you need. User here probably can assist to give you some opinion. I'm on ARHD 6.0.2 but discharging all 3d widget, and all widget. I do like plain AOSP, but I feel comfortable with htc mail, contact and keyboard. when take "combined" rom aosp-sense ... some featur not work properly. i.e incoming call not show Icon on combining aosp+sense. HTC camera driver is better than aosp, thus I made ARHD 6.0.2 as plain as possible only 145 app left. changed roboto font to bitstreamVerasan ... roboto is too small for me.
It's main reason we join xda ... to learn and having fit ROM ... stock always give you what you dont need and dont use

Well, I enjoy flashing all of them while they are in the stages of development. I like to think of each Rom like that of a child. They all start out seeking the same goal, but instinctively over time each one starts to develop a different personality. Some, and no fault of their own, are a little slow while some are pushed to fast and suffer a lack of control. Some can be predictably stable but not overly exciting. While the other side wonder about with a mind of their own seeking direction. So, to best answer your question, have some fun and challenge yourself by giving them all a chance. Isn't that why you are here on XDA? Lastly, and without a bit of irony, I have paused curiously checking out this kid that was quirky at first, but now is starting to feel comfortable and trustworthy. Ive noticed over the days a quick pace in mind which ends at the finish without any lag or do overs yet knows their is much to be learned. Finally, standing strong, front and center, I refer to you "Virtuous Inquisition 2.0.1"

Wld u consider these roms for daily use? A lot of folks end up gng back to GB...

There's no going back for me or many other members using ICS!

Well, I did like Virtuous Inquisition 1.4.2 very much, but have found many bugs in 2.0.1 that took my pleasure away (FCs here and there, can't choose Ringtones, etc.). I am using 1.4.2 as my daily driver and think it's pretty far away from an early alpha stage. But there are bugs... e.g. can't use the QuickLinks more than once in Dolphin Browser Mini, Winamp seems to be buggy etc.
Came from CM7 Alpha, so I'm used to use an alpha for my sensation Hate Sense, so AOSP or nearly AOSP fits me most.
Just my 2 Cents

If you didn't upgrade to ICS yet don't do it!
Why?
Because:
-Scrolling is slow
-Some games are not working
-Many apps FC
-Battery is horrible if using wifi
-SD messing up from time to time
-ZERO mods because htc's systemui is not compatible with apktool
So better stay with GB or wait for CM9

Have to admit, scrolling is a turn-off... Also had many FCs. Otherwise, I like the speed improvement. Don't have much battery drain.
@vegetaleb: Which ICS Rom(s) did you try?
Read somewhere, that InsertCoins ICS might be very good...
.edit: Virtuous Inquisition 2.0.1 is now working a lot better. Probably installed some 1.4.2 Apps from HTC via Titanium Backup which caused htc.com FCs.

I am using ARHD 6.0.2(ICS 4.0.3) And is amazingly smooth ,fast, very good battery life, waiting for CM ICS stable now .

[Q] Best ROM for me?

After successfully rooting my Sensation (thanks to Malybru) I'm looking for a rom that I will not need to tinker with for a while.
There's a ton of roms on the dev subforum, I've been reading through hundreds of pages and I give up.. lol...
The rom I need has to:
- Be stable. No bugs
- Have everything working (ICS on my G2x still has SD issues and camcorder does not work)
- Be fast, light with good battery life
- Be as close to stock ICS as possible. I like some of the custom graphics people are throwing in, but I want a clean look.
Thanks for your time in advance. Please don't flame and tell me to do more reading. If you feel too important to give me a piece of advice, just close the thread and move on.

Thanks. I was looking at the ARHD. It says I need firmware 3.32.401.x. How do I know what firmware version I have?

im not sure how to check but im sure there is a way.
but just flash it anyways.
most of the roms need it

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Download the newest firmware from there that suites you and flash it from the bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
Flash Android Revolution HD with the setup you want in 4EXT.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470497
Download V41 and go through Aroma picking exactly what you want, requires 4EXT recovery.
This is the best option because you get the reliability of ARHD but can customize what you need to get to stock ICS.

I haven't settled between what seem to be the two most popular: ARHD and Virtuous. I switch between them every other day or so. I am leaning towards ARHD for the excellent support though. Virtuous looks cleaner I think since they don't use Sense, but ARHD is constantly updated with bug fixes and has great mods already baked in (6.6.2 just added the HQ Camera mod!).
Can't really go wrong with either one. I haven't given InsertCoin, OpenSensation, or Cyanogen9 a try yet. There are so many ROMs....

as long as you nandroid, there is no reason not to try others if you find a problem or are not satisfied. Just restart into boot loader and restore your backup.
I personally am running insertcoin. It was the first room I tried the day that permanent root was achieved. Sooooo far sooooo good.
Baad puts allot off work into his ROM. He doesn't take requests, but if nearly stock is what you are looking for, this is it. with only tasteful eyecandy and optimized for speed and accessibility really separating it from the near stock experience, I run stable and for sometimes nearly 2 days with minimal use. No wifi.

clean stock ICS ROM for desire s

Hello, can you recommande good working and stable clean ICS ROM(like Galaxy Nexus stock interface) for daily use that has no htc sense? thx

Try Fallout or AOKP. Both are pretty good, but have some bugs.
Anyway, they won't be as stable and good as we wish until new kernel from HTC will be released.
As far I know, there isn't any absolutely problem-free and bugfree ICS ROM due to that kernel.

Fallout is a great rom indeed, but it's sense.
Try IceColdSandwich, or Tectas Unofficial.

BlindIce is what you want! Almost perfect!

because of my obsessive-compulsive-rom-flashing fetish, I have tried Fallout, Miui, IceColdSandwich, BlindIce and Primo. While Primo and Fallout have sense 4 lite, they are not what you are looking for. Miui is stable and has a good set of features, however, the ICS version of Miui is laggy and slow. Another major drawback is that Miui seems to ape ios in terms of UI and that gets really boring really fast. After all, that is why we are on android no? I have heard that the AOKP stock from Tectas is not as fast as the IceColdSandwich rom (possibly because IceColdSandwich incorporates tweaks from a number of sources including linaro and has the camera working, which I haven't seen any posts confirming this for the AOKP rom). i've tried BlindIce too, and found it a bit too laggy for my taste. So, you are probably best off with IceColdSandwich, which I have found to be the least laggy, less buggy, with most bits and pieces working and regularly updated. All flashing was done with clean install, full wipe/factory reset and no restoring of apps. Yeah, OCD like I mentioned earlier. This is just my opinion, however, I'd love to hear more from others with different experiences.
- tazz

I've tried CM9, tectas' AOKP and IceColdSammy. IceColdSandwich does feel like the smoothest and fastest of those 3. Didnt last long on CM9 and barely a day into it i went back to Reaper (still my favorite ROM). but that was one of the earlier CM9 builds, haven't gone back because every time i think about venturing away from Reaper, i try AOKP first (the latest one from Tectas is probably the most stable one of that series i've tried) then the IceColdSandwich (the latest version 8.3 is, again, the most stable) which is what I'm running now. I think i like the "cleaner", more stock android feel of AOKP. the smoothness of IceColdSandwich on top of that is plus too.
Been away from Reaper just a little over a week now and i might not come back or switch to another (yeah, right) until lowveld (fingers crossed) decides to build an ICS or JB version of Reaper.

ICE_DS by ronks is most probably the closest we can get to our official ICS OTA! With sense 3.6 though, might wanna try it out...
