Best NO Sense ROM - HTC Sensation

Hi guys,
I tried so far many ROMS with different version of Sense (ARHD, InsertCoin, Viper). All are good but after some time the interaction looks a little laggy and the applications are starting with some lag.
So I want to try a ROM without Sense and I need your help.
What is the Best ROM without Sense ?
Please keep in mind that I need all HW functions to work all the time (WiFi, WiFi Tether, BT, Camera, etc) and I need to be able to use a mail.apk modified to disable the security requirements and beside performance I would need some decent battery too.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Try badosp from.

CM9

nothing beats original AOKP
there are a few modified AOKP ROMs in the dev section

+1 AOKP all the way
but if you want something more stock without all the tweaks and stuff, CM9 is the way to go

The camera doesn't work for everything. Barcode scanners fail really hard with AOSP ICS, but seem to run better with AOSP JB, but you lose the front camera.

Kinda like aokp lately...

Ok, you better post links, because there are a lot of variations of AOSP and AOKP. Anyway I just want to mention that I want everything to work perfectly: both cameras, BT, WiFi, etc. So please suggest only ROMS that are known to be fully operational for daily heavy use.
Thanks again.

CM9 for sure! It's by far the fastest I've seen.

That doesn't sound so good. Next please.

Try victorious inquisition, it is a no sense Rom and its stable. Look at change log and see what you think about this Rom . Hope this helps! Best wishes !

ok, I will try it. Any sugestions for Sense replacements widgets ? Best Weather widget, calendar, keyboard, etc ? Thanks.

If I remember correctly, victorious does have some widgets that your speaking of .it was the first Rom I ever ran so I can't really remember but I believe so. Also it had the BEST battery life of ANY Rom I've ever ran. I think you will really like that! I got to missing sense so I changed roms but its ultra stable and I think you will love it! I sure miss that great battery life it gave me! I'm running sense 4 now, I do love it but nothing compares to V.I , battery life in my opinion! Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Thanks, you say is having a good battery overall is that with the default kernel or with a custom kernel ? I am fond of faux's kernel . Do you remember something about multitasking and graphics performance ? Thanks for your help.

Please just try the dammed ROMs yourself. with nandroid backups you can easily revert back. Then you can choose one that most closely delivers "what you want".
If you want everything that's in Stock just use a Stock RUU. All custom ROMs have failings somewhere in the frame and will probably have updates on a regular basis to "iron" out minor issues.
I'm currently using CM10 Beta Jelly Bean, it has enough working to make it my daily. Previously I was using Virtuous Inquisition and it was very good, Sense back-end with almost all apps and widgets replaced by AOSP variants. IIRC it used the Sense ICS camera which is better than the pure AOSP ones.

Just bought a Sensation

So here's the deal. I just bought one, and I'm looking forward to developing for it.
A few questions first:
1. What kinds of roms do you like? and Why. I want to please my user base, as well as pick it.
2. What features are you missing from Sense, MIUI, AOSP, or whatever else the kids are using these days? (this includes things you see on other devices and wish you had on sensation, or things you think of yourselves)
3. What kinds of roms do you think have ABSOLUTELY no point; For example, I think a re-post of CM with a new kernel and a theme built-in is ridiculous... What do you think?
4. What do you prefer about a rom you flash on sensation? if you had to choose between battery and performance, which? if you had to choose between pretty theme/heavy apps or bare-bones cleanliness, which? This kind of relates to q1...
Before I start repeating myself, I'd just like to say that sensation has a bunch of amazing devs going for it, and has a unique look and a terrific user base, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.
Please leave intelligent responses, to help make your device better!

Ok I will be the first hear. I have only had my Sensation since September 1st so I have not yet flashed a custom ROM to it. I am kind of giving the stock ROM a good trial run first.
I think since so many people, including me, are reporting touch screen issues, especially with pulling the ring up to unlock the device. You should really consider implumenting something that gives you a choice if you want to use the lock screen or not. Maybe a widget or a added choice in the settings to disable the lock screen. Or maybe even a G-Sensor operated lock screen, you know shake the device to unlock it.
I personally like the dialer UI of HTC Sense 3.0 and the text messaging in sense. I do not like the fact that you can not do what I call free scroll through your apps in the app tray. You have to scroll inn predefined blocks of 20 apps at a time. I personally like a bear bones ROM with a lot of downloadable add ons that you can install if you want. That way you can truly customize your device to suit you and you needs and likes.
I also think you should add a percentage meter that can be put in the status bar at the top cause the stock ROM does not have that option. I really like being able to see my battery percentage not just a battery with a green bar.
Also I miss the CyanogenMod settings in settings that I used in the Hyperdroid-CM7-v2.1.0 -HeadyHoneybadger ROM on my HD2.
I really am not to fond of the bottom launcher bar in the stock ROM either. I like the small launcher like the one in the above mentioned ROM so anything like that would be great.
A better music player than the default Android music player would be a plus also.
Last thing I can think of is something that will turn your WiFi off when you leave the WiFi area, say your home WiFi. And maybe even turns it on when you get back in range of your home WiFi network.
If I think of anything else I will post it here in this thread. Hope you get some more responses.
Edit: I forgot to mention, I prefer performance over battery. But not to the point that the battery will not last at least 8 hours
I'd choose a ROM that keeps Sense 3.0, intelligently overclocks the CPU to maximise performance when the phone is awake and being used, and underclocks it when the phone is asleep to maximise battery life. Another biggie for me would be a camera apk that reduces the compression and noise reduction that the stock Sense camera apk uses which cause Sensation photos and videos to lose sharpness. And I'd like Beats from the Sensation SE included too.

To OP. Welcome to Pyramid forums.
It's very tough competition here mate, so good luck to you (no sarcasm).
To make ROM successful you'd have to make it unique or a lot better than others ( very, very hard to achieve) or both together.
Coming from the Mytouch 4g my favorite Roms were the Aosp Roms they are so light and quick with amazing battery. I would love one similar to fuax's aosp rom from the mytouch 4g. Also I'm a fan of better battery since I use my phone for music and internet all day!

ive had my phone for 3wks and just flashed HD Revolution but stripped it with a viperMod [hated the TMobile and HTC widgets] and loving it so far
the only problem for me is the yukky battery life but its far superior to my HD2, can do so much more with it
my advice is to flash Recovery and jump right in

[Q] Runnymede or VoidU? - Decsions Decisions

Still trying to decide which daily ROM to go with, Having used LBC for months, amazingly impressed with the two superb ports below:
[ROM][18 SEP 11] VoidU S v1.1 (Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0) [GPS Fixed!]
or
[ROM][19 SEP 11]RCMix3d Runny S v1.3 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5]
Both appear to have have minimal bugs and look great.
I'm finding VoidU has great battery life and is very slick (sense 3.0) well tweaked, is perfectly sized.
I love the RCMix3d Tweak application within settings which both ROMS have which allows you to tailor the look and feel to suit.
Runnymede is slightly slower can has kernel so that can be slightly overclocked if needed - although against that for battery reasons. The chinnese writing issue on phone call screen - has a fix in the thread. Slightly inconsistent menu sizing in places, but that can be lived with. Whats the battery life like (as I've used this ROM less).
Love to hear your thoughts, feelings and comments, do you agree or dis-agree with my comments or have anything useful to add, list of buigs that I'm not aware of would be good. Ehats your experiences of the ROMs battery life, both screen off (as phone) and screen off heavy smart phone usage.
I'm useless at making decisiosn! so any help you can give would be very much appreciated, even if its to say I'm in exactly the same boat!
EDIT: Gone with VoidU v1.1a (this week anyway!)
What a coincidence. I downloaded both the ROMS you mentioned and I too am in confusion about flashing which one.
I think Runnymede has bugs like bluetooth not working and battery , speed not good.
So currently go for Void U.
Would you help me telling the difference b/w virtuous 2.37 and void u
Void u s has Bluetooth problems too :/
I have ... Looking for a fix
Thanks for those that have put some input back, but slightly disappointed after all the input

Go for VoidU S. 3.5 isn't official yet, so it still has loads of bugs. You may aswell enjoy the full 3.0 now, then when the new official 3.5 comes out, use that.
Because If you use 3.5 now, by the time the official updates comes, the suprise will be spoilt , as you have already used it!
Then the new experience won't be exciting ! Also like you say, the sizing etc isn't perfect. I wouldn't use it now if I were you.
This is just simply my idea.. its up to you!
I really really like this VoidU S. But the few bugs are pissing me off! Hope these will be fixed soon, or I will have to change roms back

Haven't noticed the gps bug yet as haven't been out to try it and as I don't use blue-tooth that bug will never be an issue for me

Looks like it's VoidU as my favourite at the moment!

Indeed, although I have managed to send a file from my device to another using BT (but that didn't seem too easy but as I explained that was probably because I was p1issed) but nothing else and don't have any other BT devices (keyboard/ear pieces) to test with. So I'd say it works.

Ended up doing it twice as ROM flash v1.1a rebooted and I hadn't wiped cache or dalvik cahe. So had to "adb reboot recovery" and then followed your instructions.....which was to wipe both and then install. No data loss flashed over the old version.
Contemplating running a custom kernel so that I could try to under clock and under volt (to save even more battery) as you say doesn't need over clocking - fast enough stock.

You're right it doesn't have the stock frequency (which seems strange to me also), although I'm looking at as a good thing as I'm now running my super fast device on a speed slower than the normal stock and it still runs faster as a result of all the additional tweaks and optimisations.
I'm also able to under-clock the CPU so that it runs on a slower speed when idle and when with screen off. I'm also under-volting the CPU so that less voltage is used (although never done this before - so there is a learning curve).
All of these changes should result in less battery usage - although how much less I've yet to establish!

CM7 vs. ARHD

I've been debating about this over the weekend since I installed ARHD on my Sensation.
I know CM7 is still on Alpha, but I'm wondering if it's worth switching over the CM7. I used to run CM when I had my Nexus, and it was awesome. I don't know why but Sense is just so appealing to look at and the Eye Candy is just awesome, so I'm kind of debating on whether or not I should make the switch to CM7 or not. Also, how's the battery life on CM7 in Alpha? ARHD is giving me pretty much 10-12hours of usage with everything on and fairly heavy usage.
I was using revolution HD for a while on my sensation. I did the XE with beats 3.6.0 upgrade too, and it was nice... although I wanted to give cm7 a try. I am very impressed... for alpha, it is incredibly stable. Camera is nicer, it's nearly instantaneous (where revolution still had a 1-2 second delay between launch and home) boot is faster, battery is better... all sorts of neat things.
Basically you're going to be giving up your Camera, HTC keyboard, Video Recording, Sense Dialer. I tried it and went back to LeeDROiD, because I couldn't handle the camera and missed the keyboard.

If you don't need the eyecandy... go with CM7.
If you do need the eyecandy... go with MiUi.
If you need HTC stuff... stay with Sense. Otherwise CM and MiUi rape Sense on performance.
Personally I use both. I like both and have always been loyal to the CM roms on all my phones. The I lovethe speed of this rom however I do like ARHD. The What ever I feeling that week I run. I keep nandroids of both and keep them up to date and restore when needed.

You lose all these things? You can't use the camera or record video?
For me I'd say Swype > HTC Keyboard
I have no idea what the Sense Dialer is, but I'm sure the alternative is that you can still dial and call people. =)
I agree I have the beats theme with the alien lockscreen. I know many are not impressed with the beats Software however my music sounds great. I use SwiftKey x as well. I just wish there was a bigger selection of skins.

Yeah SwiftKey is the nuts. Just because you have a sense rom doesn't mean you have to use it. Plenty of launchers out there. I'm uprooted using lp+ and the phone is flying. Really tempted to go with arhd though.

He just means HTC's version of each.
In my opinion MiUi is the best ROM. I think it beats out CM for total functionality and the themes and eyecandy are endless. It's CM taken to the next level. I even used to run the Swype keyboard on it with my HD2, haven't tried with the Sensation.

Cm7 alpha 7 as the option to launch up to 4 apps from the lockscreen... That's why we love cm nightly... Updated every night! And we're not even in the official nightly yet
Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict who've been sober for too long!!!
There might be too many bugs in CM7 at the moment for me to just jump on to it. How easy is it to keep updating nightlies? Will all my apps stay from each update to update? Helping with the alpha and providing issues may be something that would make me switch over.
using CM7 alpha 7 right now. Loving it. The only thing I missed was the lock screen and alpha 7 has a similar one to sense, so i'm good now. 1080p recording still not active but will be. Also
one other thing I miss about sense was the face book to contacts sync. CM7 can sync them but not as good. I have some contacts under nicknames that sense used to match with my face book friends. But overall I prefer CM7, much smoother and more customizable.

I have Android Revolution 3.60. im on Bell and haven't flashed the recommended radio. Im scared to do so, as my other phone- moto dext would overwrite my existing radio with tmob's if i updated it. Im used to flashing roms with no radio. My battery really sucks it drops like mad and have to constantly charge
CM7 all the way, but...
I have been using CM7 for a couple of weeks, and I can say that even in alpha, this rom is great. The bugs are not that significant (at least for me) and it is extremely fast. I am not big in the eye candy thing, so for me I prefer a simpler rom than one with more bells and whistles.
That being said, ARHD is the best Sense rom out there, especially because it was the first one with full access to the dual core processor. Mike1984 has done a great job with the rom, it is extremely stable and the add-ons are nice. I have to be honest and I don't think that there is a camera app that can beat the Sense one. I am talking about basic functions, meaning taking pics and recording video, as there is no 2-3 seconds delay after pressing the shutter button.
I don't think that CM7 is for everybody (not right now), so if you just want your phone to work flawlessly, I will say go with ARHD.
P.S.: I personally don't like MIUI, it is too iphonish for me, but I would agree with another person in this forum, who says that it is the evolution of CM7. I do like the performance of the rom, just not the look of it, I hope that they bring back the app drawer.

I would like to thank venom team :)

I don't have acces to the development thread either..
There is one question I have about the PkMn/Venom ROM:
I used the PkMn 5.1 ROM but to me it was very laggy so I flashed CM9 RC1.
My question is: has it improved in the new venom rom or is it my sd card or something. I'd love to have a sense 4 rom but not too laggy.
:silly:

Did you use the stock kernal? What settings did you install (clock speed, zram, etc.)?

That would interest me as well. I've set CPU to 1728MHz, min & screen off on default. No 2D or 3D OC and it runs pretty smooth. Sometimes a little bit laggy when I come from an application, but I think this is unavoidable when I want to use Sense ROMs, also it doesn't bother me really...
And since I also don't have access to the dev-thread:
Awesome ROM, guys! I think I'll stick to this one
I'm in the same boat, no access to dev thread . I'm running ViperS 1.0.1 right now without any issues. Undoubtedly, best ROM so far, after trying lot of AOSP ROM's including CM9.
Great ROM. My only complaint is the Exchange security mod doesn't work for me meaning I still have to apply the security policy restriction forcing password or PIN unlocking.
This was also the case with OrDroid too. Anyone else have the same issue?

Venom
Venom is for me the most well developed rom available for sensation. I have had absolutely no issues whatsoever since flashing it Monday.
Some US T mobile users were reporting problems with the new radio, but it seems to be working fine for me so far.
One small problem I have: I changed the icons in the notification bar to android stock icons. But now the icon for the data connection seems changes randomly. Most of the time it looks like I'm sending and receiving data constantly, which isn't the case. Anybody know how to fix this?

i currently using darkforest and having battery life problem
i think i will have to try venom
This Rom for me (viper) had the BEST battery life I've ever seen in a Rom! I'm amazed! Truly amazed! Thanks team venom!

viper 1.0.1 is the best rom i have used yet and on 4.0. cpu set to badass underclocked and undervolted still super smooth and great for battery. also like the customizable status bar and venom tweaks. major props to Venom Team:good:
I would also like to thank those devs and the whole Venom TEAM, I love what you guys have done... Amazing work!
the rom is very nice especially the twaeks they made...
but the gernal sense 4 lazyness remains. starting apps e.g takes a lot of time
using eye candy based on aokp tamcore kernel is my daily driver
The best Sense 4 rom, ever, but a bit too laggy, i'm going back to ARHD

[ROM][MIUI]05-07-2012 LaxiMIUI 1ST EDITION W/ Beats Audio!

This is my 2nd port and I'm still a newbie so please guide me along if I made any mistakes.
This time I've made a totally new MIUI 2.3.7 ROM which has beats audio implemented with Poweramp Music Player, at the same time battery efficient and smooth
Screenshots will be up later.
This ROM is fully tweaked to the max and it also includes Sony's Bravia Engine, XLoud Engine, And Motorola's Crystal Talk (may contain bugs).
So.. Hope You Enjoy This ROM and give a Thanks and Review This ROM!
FYI: Some part of the system has chinese words like the 4 in 1 reboot and status bar(just do a normal reboot and it will be fine). So if anyone knows how to edit it mind letting me know? Thanks

EDIT: Really sorry for the super late post for the download link. I had to sleep and now uploading and have to rush to school And after I upload if anyone who is an expert on modifying Aroma Installer mind leaving me a pm? thanks
If mediafire doesn't work for you ( for some weird reason which is impossible ), I'll create a mirror when I'm back from school. TEST IT OUT NOW!
Pitty it's GB ROM but good luck and hope to maybe share some tips with you on ROM building as I am also a newbie in this area

It has ICS inside but I couldn't get it to work. Maybe later you can try it out and maybe tell me where is the problem located?
Easiest way would be to just start off with working ICS ROM and modify it to your liking.

But the crucial thing that I think is the most important is the camera. If a camera doesn't work ( For Me ), how am I supposed to capture what I liked most and during those memorable moments?
And 2nd thing, I couldn't get the beats audio mod to work on ICS for some weird reason.

I agree about the camera. It's very important to me.

I thought the Xloud engine was a big nono for our speakers, possibly damaging them. Was that issue ever fixed?

if u port Existz latest base to miui, im sure 480p will work since he got 480p to work.
Yes Xloud is said to be damaging the speakers. In case of Camera I think it does work, 480p should work. You could just take an AOSP ROM and apply MIUI interface.
Until we have official ics I know I at least would prefer gb miui. I've tried blind's and dekky's ics miui and not fully working. Will test when uploaded

Curious to find out more on this rom...
Might give this few days..... MIUI is the only thing thats of interest to me until full Sense 4.0 Roms are released.

If I would have to choose I'd rather get a 720p picture which is clearer and better in quality.

Don't Worry. The Aroma Installer allows you to choose if you want to add in the mod or not. So you can ignore the XLoud Engine If you want.

I'm trying to make this ROM able to have GB and ICS at the same ROM so that people can get to choose to pick what they want but couldn't get it working. So maybe after I upload mind helping me through?
Just tested ... great rom but it is not fully translated... a lot of chinese... but really smooth
with translation you might look into BART, an app that helps translating any rom to any language.http://www.xda-developers.com/android/b-a-r-t-helps-you-translate-android-roms-the-easy-way/
In case of giving people the choice I think it would rather be proof of concept than any use. When you are looking for a ROM you know whether you want GB or ICS. What you are proposing is great as a concept, I admire your creativity and ambition, but in reality you will be forced to download two ROM packages at once regardless to whether you want it or not.
For BEATS try using ...Awesome...'s package, it's AwesomeBEATS, you can find it in DHD Development Forum. I tried it on ICS and it worked.

I wanted to have GB and ICS selection in one rom because for me sometimes I find that ICS starts to becomes uncomfortable for me (not for IceColdSandwich which I always uses its test roms and works great) and also some apps always have problems on ICS.
So I want to allow the user to be able to just choose what they want and if they feel like ICS is not what they want(as it cannot fully theme) they could just go to recovery, flash this ROM again and just choose GB. And normally 2 MIUI ROM would just take up around 200-300MB, which is around the same as any Sense ROM.
However, thanks for the B.A.R.T link. Downloading now and will get most of it translated
need screenshots?
Give me a few minutes trying to translate the whole ROM as well as deodex-ing the rom
