anyone still on cm7, waiting for cm9? passing on all current ICS roms

anyone still on cm7, passing on all current ICS roms, and waiting for CM9?
I've been using CM7 since it came out. I flashed virt. quatto just to see what ICS looks like, then went back to CM7.
post here if you are like me!

ive been waiting for a stable CM7 on the sensation for over a year now... CM7 alpha10 is pretty close but still not a daily driver.. i dont see a stable CM9 on our phones within the next year.. there are some good AOSP ICS roms though like Virtuous Inquisition which will have to do for now. ever since Samsung hired Cyanogen, you pretty much need a Samsung phone (Galaxy Nexus) for good CM support
the only reason i am using a Sensation right now is because it is the only high end phone (dual core) that supports my $5/mo tzones plan, else I would probably have a Galaxy S2 or the Nexus right now since i much prefer CyanogenMod

I'm in same situation
several past phones (Desire GSM, Atrix 4G) and current Pyramid are on CM7.1
I use Automatic Backlight feature, it's absent in other ROMs, I like Dialer and Contacts in CM.
Tried multiple ICS ROMs but I am unable to use them. Cannot remove contact's pictures from contact list (I don't use concact pictures at all), no adjustable automatic backlight, Volume rocker Wake and so on.
I do not use Google Account at all, all programs I install manually after flashing ROM. No market app, no Gmail, no GTalk. No Sence.
CM is the best for me

I have many phones flashed to CM7.1 and tried the alpha 10 for sensation too. But there are many lacks (e.g. reboot when recording video, battery after 10 hours down to 20%) so I went back and waiting for CM9.

This is my own opinion, I don't believe well even get an alpha build of any kind from kmobs at this point of development even in the next year or two years. I asked him about it an he said he was compiling it at that time.
It tells me a lot by that response from him. That he is a perfectionist that want to do everything by himself an I'm pretty sure that he's gotten help by cm team. And that since he got a GN and amaze he may be too busy to focus on sensation. He said he isn't working on those two but I mean if you had to pick between those two and sensation I might pick them.
The best way to get fixes is by yes providing him log cats towards certain issues but at the same time having the source helps so it can pinpoint the source of the issue in the build.
Many devices have already been merged and I think one or two were made after the sensation was released. Whether its fair or not he has the most updated source for pyramid and we as the people only have nothing but watch and wait

and we will be slowly insane cause nothing happens. But I've read a few days ago in a post, there are two developers?

I'm still on CM7 and it's not looking good for CM9:

I know we're not paying him or anything, but why can't he at least give us an update instead of these "mystery" posts?

WOW dude no google account? That sucks because if you had one you could easily edit or delete your contact info by signing into google from your computer. You do know that android is google right? I think you would be much happier with a flip phone.

I agree. Kmobs is still a kid afterall. Hes in school and needs to focus on college if you ask me. He bought a GN for $500.00 out of pocket despite telling us how great his sensation was running his build of ICS. Even though it is his money, its pretty irresponsible for a college student to do. Needing a new phone is one thing, but wanting something newer to play with is another.
I dont think it will take a year to get CM9 to the sensation, as I feel Kmobs will eventually turn over what he has done to someone else on the CM team and they will finish it for us. All his G+ posts seem to focus on the fun he is having with his GN.
Yea its free, but it would be nice of him to turn over what he has to another respected developer in the spirit of open source and all...If he hasnt got the time for CM9, then maybe someone else does. Keep in mind, CM is thinking about starting a for profit marketplace. It would be good business to get CM9 out for the maximum number of phones if they want the maximum number of customers. The sensation might not be all that popular though...
Maybe someone from the CM team could speak to him about turning over the project?

after today I don't think I will go back to cm7 again. I have been running vi all this month and currently on v3.0.0 and it will do until something better comes out.
yes, I do believe knob abandoned our phone and do not expect any release from him. January is almost over and we are left in the dark. The promise I made to myself is never to get a non nexus phone again. I will just wait a little bit to see if they release the 32gig GSM version.

Off Topic. Thread title is "anyone still on cm7, waiting for cm9? passing on all current ICS roms"

I could personally care less about CM9. I am running CM7 now and it works fine. I considered flashing an ICS ROM but they all suck right now. Personally if there was a pure vanilla Android ROM (Gingerbread or ICS) I would run that. If CM9 is the closest I will get to AOSP ICS then I guess I will use that whenever (if??) a stable release ever comes out for the Sensation. To be honest I might even be using a Nexus by that time since development for the Sensation is basically dead.

I counted seven flavours of Sensation ICS ROMs discussed and most are available somewhere online. Only the kmobs 'official' CM9 seems to be lost this year.
On Rootzwiki I asked if the following list was up to date. Here it is. Some exist and some are not, but all are Sensation-specific ROMs in development or possible development.
Will we get up to TEN 'unique' Sensation ROMs soon?
1. TripNRaver already has released three betas of his AOSP ROM for Sensation, over at Modaco.
2. HTC Leaked ICS ROM. Lots of tuning and updates of the major 'brands' of Sensation ROMs at XDA Sensation Developers forum, for 4.03 ICS and Sense 4.0 leak.
3. Virtuous Quattro (AOSP) ported to Sensation at XDA Developers forum.
4. MIUI developer petitioned to release a Sensation ICS MIUI (250+ votes for it). 新年快樂 !
5. TripNRaVer previously mentioned he could do an ICS MIUI port once the CM9 Sensation ROM was working.
6. TripNRaVer yesterday released his own CM9 beta ROM for Sensation.
7. Cyanogenmod 9 team (Keyan Mobli aka kmobs, others?) may be still developing the CM9 ROM, unless there has been any announcement otherwise. No recent news in 2012, though.
8. ? Anyone have another ROM for Sensation that's not a variant of or based on one of the above?
9. ?
10. ?

TripNRaver released a beta CM9 over at MoDaCo, fyi.

There are only four "distinct" ICS ROMs available. Trips CM9 leak, the two Virtuous builds, and MAYBE Android Revolution. Everything else is just a themed version of one of the above.

yup still waiting. most ics AOSP roms arent fully stable.

ICS ROM for MyTouch 4G Slide- Any Recommendation?

I want to try out one of the ICS ROMs in MyTouch4G slide. If anyone tried the ICS ROMs, which one would you recommend for stable daily use?
I am very new to rooting and using/installing ROMs. All I can do is to read and follow instructions…other than that I mostly do not know what that I am doing with my phone. So please bear with me if my question turnout to be a dumb one.
The main motivation for checking out ICS is that I want to see bengali language complex scripts on the phone with UTF-8 and I heard that ICS natively supports it. I understand that I can tryout everything and decide for myself. But considering my lack of knowledge on this matter, I would love to try out one that users mostly recommend.
Here is some brief history of what I have done with my phone so far:
I have gained S-off and rooted my phone using the following thread:

Well I've been using Pyr'o'Ice Desensed 1.1.3 and I can absolutely recommend that one. I may just be lucky, but I haven't had a single crash yet. As far as I know, everything works perfectly except for the GPS crapping out one time. It's legitimately fantastic and speeds the phone up drastically. Not to mention how great chrome is for the phone. So...yeah. It's the only one I've tried, but it is by all accounts stable.

Yes it's the most stable PLUS a touch screen fix
Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!

I've been running Pyr'O'Ice 1.1.1 Sense 3.6 since last Thursday and I must say that it seems to be solid as a rock too and is not bad at ALL on battery life considering that fact. (Sense ROM) It gets a good, solid 3G connection and is fairly snappy too. So far, the only bug I've found in my limited use is that if you try to unlock the lockscreen while holding your phone landscape it will deactivate the lock mechanism. (You'll have to put it back to sleep & hold it portrait to unlock it upon wakeup). All in all a REALLY nice ICS ROM, IMHO!

I'm very happy with Pyroice Desensed. ICS on the Doubleshot is wonderful and tbalden has done some amazing work.
That being said, I have three main issues with the ROM. None of them are blockers for me, but I'll describe them in more detail in case they are problems for you:
1. EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED crashes when launching apps. These have gone down a lot with the latest GPU drivers, but I still get them reasonably frequently. Flicking away a few apps (especially GPU intense ones like Chrome) tends to sort them out, though.
2. Face Unlock crashes instead of falling back to the secondary lock. I have a bizarre dance I do to get past this without rebooting which is why it isn't a bigger problem. I suspect (but can't prove) this is another EGL crash since I usually find many and/or GPU-intensive apps in my recent apps list after I successfully unlock, but I haven't dug into this further.
3. Bluetooth support can be wonky and bit unstable. With 1.1.3, I don't think I've successfully answered a call with my headset with music playing (I believe, but I'm not sure that I did this successfully with older versions). I've also had a few reboots that looked Bluetooth-related. I'd consider this a bigger issue, but I'm used to buggy Bluetooth implementations (see: G2). Other than that, though, music, calls and tethering (to my tablet) all work, so it is generally "good enough".

Pyr'O'Ice 1.1.3. It's stable as a daily driver.

If you like HTC Sense Primadonna by Team Virtuous is a great option. I wasn't able to run some apps that I love and need while on Pyro Ice. I've been able to run them on Primadonna.

Last night I flashed Virtuous Inquisition. I'm loving it! The camera software is different (not better). I was able to take quick pics with the stock camera software with this one I have to wait in between pics. It remaps some buttons. The genius button becomes a search button. Very smooth ROM. Very easy install.

Just tested out the camera. Hit the camera button on the screen to take the next shot immediately. Also, most of us had that "Genius" button remapped since full root was first gained.

I have decided to try Virtuous Inquisition to get a taste of ICS.

Let us know how it goes for you. I want to try ICS but I need to have like everything working. MMS, wifi, and 4G for work; camera for when my wife doesn't have her phone; and everything else just so I don't get made fun of at work for running a cooked ROM and every ROM I read about before always had something wrong with it. Granted, it's been a while since I've looked.

[Q] ROMs with Zero Issues?

So I haven't really been following the MyTouch4g Slide Rom scene that much and after going through some of the threads, my question is: are there any roms et with no issues/bugs?
I was thinking about finally rooting but I'm not sure if there's really any reason to yet as I'm not gonna install a ROM that still has issues...
Thanks

Right now Bulletproof is a go for a ROM where everything works. Cyanogenmod 9 is SOON to follow along with others. Take a look and read around tho. Major breakthroughs have been made and things are really looking up for us!

Try the new Miktouch 0.7 ROM. It is based on the latest OTA (1.63.531.2) and IMO is the most functional ROM available. And it is very smooth and quick, great battery life. The improvements that HTC made to the ROM, as well as the tweaking and cleaning up that the devs did, make it my daily driver. I want everything to work, no "gotchas".

Hello,
I can recommend Virtuous Inquisition to you. Its an ICS 4.0.3 ROM that I am running on my HTC Doubleshot since round 2 weeks and its really good! Till now I did not have any issues with anything but some minor things (once in a while you lose WiFi connection which you can enable again just by switching WiFi off and then on again. This happens only if you do not use WiFi and the phone falls sleep mode - the screen turns black).
The configurations are limitless. It comes with NOVA launcher. I bought the premium version and am very happy with the capabilities and possibilities it gave me!
In case you want HTC Sense, you can check out Virtuous Primadona. I did not try this one but read quite many reviews and its also stable and seem to be running nicely on Doubleshot.
The good thing on Inquisitin is, the WiFi calling is integrated. As I am from Switzerland it took me a while to finlly remove it ^^
Cheers

huh that sounds great. i really don't care about sense so i'd be fine using nova. is the 4.0.3 version noticeably smoother than the 2.3 that comes normally? i would think it would be but also because its an older phone i'm not sure...

I have been using Bulletproof for months now, and have seen no issues what so ever. Everything works, including Wifi Calling! I have tried alot of the roms here, but I need my rom to be perfect, that is why I keep coming back to bulletproof. I am hoping CM9 will soon become perfect enough for me so I can upgrade to ICS, but it still isn't perfect enough for me. Go with bulletproof.

But if the Wi-Fi continuously disconnects when the screen goes off and must be reawakened to work, that really defeats much of the function of Wi-Fi Calling. How can you receive calls if your wi-fi is disconnected?

I agree that is why I stopped using inquisition...... I am happily using cm9 but if you want three zero problem roms then stock I suggest mik mik v.7, for a beast gingerbread the rubix ics splashed, or if you want ics with minimal issues then cm9 untill the soft keyboard issue is fixed on aokp then I would switch to that.... I am going to do the same once the issue is solved

Which Pyro? 1.1.3 and 1.1.1 work pretty good except for a few annoyances....but those annoyances have work-arounds.

Hi sorry for the late answer, I am on my finals right now and it's getting harder to find time...
Virtuous seem to have some issues with wifi, though I was talking with tbalden and he said he's working on kernel 3 atm which shows no issues with wifi or 3G / 4G... So let's wait for the next upgrade
For me wifi works good, sometimes it bugs a bit though... Don't forget here they are stil in ROM development so some minor things are not perfect.
You can still try Virtuous Primadonna, got an update a few days ago. For me Cm9 did not work so good, force closing many apps, changed back to inquisition. I suppose we'll have to wait for another month or so to get a rc rom (Cm9, pyro, virtuous or another..)

BulletProof is a great ROM. Along that same design idea is DoubleShot Lite by Ceede. Another you might be interested in is Miui v0.3 and those are just the Gingerbread ROMs I've found to be rocksolid and near flawless. Then you have some really nice ICS ROMs that are coming along NICELY! Believe me, you won't be dissappointed with any of them unless you just happen to be looking for a little issue hidden somewhere.

So tbalden released kernel 3 vinq (ICS 4.0.3) for doubleshot: virtuous.prp2.com/doubleshot/inquisition/virtuous_inquisition-v4.0.2-doubleshot-kernel3_v2.zip
Very recommendable, everything working, very stable, oc to 1.7ghz like Cm9...
As wifi is working also w/o any issues now (at least for me), I assume you can use wifi-calling with vinq... It's integrated btw.
Hope I could help you

The development forms dosn't seem to be makeing much progress with jellybean other than wildchilds VanillaBean. Also I would help alot if it were Sense 4+. Can anybody help?

It sounds like you just described Virtuous Inquisition.

Its like this man, straight and to the point without being mean. You are not going to find ANY 100% solid ROM that no one has a complaint over. We have 2 ROMS based on Stock OTA Updates that's it. Everything else is a port of this or that or a build from source.
So you ask what do I gain if ROM X has this broken and ROM XX has this broken, well we have gained 2 updates past what HTC wanted us to have along with many more features, all while losing 1080 recording only.

Its like this man, straight and to the point without being mean. You are not going to find ANY 100% solid ROM that no one has a complaint over. We have 2 ROMS based on Stock OTA Updates that's it. Everything else is a port of this or that or a build from source.
So you ask what do I gain if ROM X has this broken and ROM XX has this broken, well we have gained 2 updates past what HTC wanted us to have along with many more features, all while losing 1080 recording only.

I understand what your saying, not even the stock roms are perfect either. thanks for explaining though. How about in this way then, what is the most stable and fastest, with the fewest bugs?

Get the virtuous infinity 1.33 alpha 3 then get their vi updater apk and update to 1.35 beta 1 ....i am running that with the 3.0.39 kernel imbedded:everything works.....

Just be sure and go to my mirror thread here in my signature and flash the Unofficial All Inclusive Patch along with it. It makes ALL the difference.

CM9.1 found in ROM Manager. Sense = bloatware

I love Sense. For me, the Sense ROMS like VI or MikXE (the one I'm running now) are far more stable and capable than CM9.

They both have their virtues but I'm like you and do love sense. I'm pretty impartial when it comes to either. I just enjoy being amazed at the capabilites of the developers' works that we all take advantage of and yet often critisize. I know I couldn't do what they do.

I had trouble finding the download link for 1.33 alpha 3. Finally found it here at Rootz (traced it from XDA through several pages at VirtuousRom.com and then finally to Rootz).

I assume this "all-inclusive" patch should be flashed AFTER upgrading to 1.35 beta 1?

OH yes. ROM.....OTA...then patch it all.

Need some help from you doubleshot-experienced folk, please!

Where can I find this kernel? I'm looking and am not finding it. I'm trying to mimic your "everything works" setup and I think I've gotten what you said to get except for the kernel. I currently have 3.0.17-Don2x-gecb4581 and am experiencing the following two problems which seem to be very possibly kernel-related (otherwise I wouldn't bother):
1) Device randomly reports no signal when it should have a signal (either toggling Airplane Mode or a reboot always fixes this). Clearly, in this state, data, voice, and SMS do not work, which is quite problematic.
2) Battery randomly reports ~half of the capacity that it's really at (rebooting always fixes this). It's kinda strange - charging it overnight will only charge to 49%. But once you reboot it then it's magically at ~95%. (Yes, I've cleared battery stats.) And it seems to be fairly sporadic - doesn't always do this. Like I said, it's strange...
Also, what baseband should I be on? It's currently reporting 11.59.3504.00P_11.16.3504.20_2.
Lastly, for my "Build number", even though I've flashed the 1.35 beta 1 zip and running the OTA update APK, it still reports as "Virtuous Infinity v1.33.0 Alpha3". Is this right? Seems strange to me. Running the OTA Update apk again states that "The ROM developer has not enabled support for the OTA Updater! Please ask them (kindly) to add support before using this app! (otaupdater.otaid value empty or missing)".
If I've done something wrong, all of the above are the indications of such mistakes. Many thanks!

I don't know what happened unless you maybe got a corrupt download. The Mirrors, Tools.... thread in my sign. will give you another DL site. Post #3 Developer #2
That's the same Radio I have except mine is "00U" instead of "00P" . And that is the way the build reads on mine too. I think the Alpha designation tells the tale tho. Just try a full wipe and a reflash of new DL's. This has been one of the smoothest most solid ROMs I've run once it was patched. I HAVE heard of a couple of phones that didn't seem to like the all inclusive patch though. You might try just flashing those patches as a problem arises and you may get better responses from them. Kinda just a guess tho....

When I want fast, and stable, I go with Virtuous Inquisition. That one has the best day to day user experience for me. The only thing I miss with that ROM is the 1080P camcorder, and my stock camera with face detection, and burst shot that works etc.. The Brute Force TV Out add on is definitely not as good as the stock TV out and I miss that when using the Inquisition ROM as well. However, Inquisition is such a nice user experience that I use is often and keep a good nandroid of it. Even the hardware keyboard works the way I want it to include the Alt and CAPs lights.
When I really want to carry that good camera around and have TV out so I can bring Netflix to a friend's house that doesn't have Netflix, I still find myself booting up Bulletproof 1.0 (Before the green invasion). In that ROM I replaced all the pink apps with the "de-pinked" ones (Lockscreen, Contacts, Messages, Calendar etc.), changed the color of the pink message bubbles (ya know the ones that pop up with a number to tell you how many unread texts you have) to blue and I find this ROM to be nice stable user experience with some extra tweaks and extended power menu thanks to the groundwork laid out by RomanBB and then carried on by Blue6IX.
I'm keeping an eye on the MikTouch ROM based on the updated OTA stock ROM. That is a very smooth stock experience and I really appreciate that the developer (developers?) are still giving the Stock ROM some love and I feel it has great potential for those who don't want to lose ANY of the features that made this phone worth buying in the first place. Personally, I feel the hardware keyboard, camera, and TV out were the main reasons I bought this phone and I'm not willing to give those features up and switch to any other ROM full time regardless of how cool they look or how smooth they run.
I think the hard work by all the developers trying to give MT4GS more enhancements and options is amazing stuff and much appeciated, but Bulletproof and Inquisition are still my favorites at the moment. Unfortunately, neither project sees any further development so take it as it is, don't take it at all, or see what you can do to make them better for yourself.
Oh and if you want the ROM with the best battery life, it's the one with a Mugen 3600 battery...just sayin'. I have no complaints about battery life of any ROM with Mugen under the hood.
[UPDATE] MIkTouch is now my favored stock ROM choice.

Exactly. The only thing that was stopping me from using the CM7 Alpha was that the SD card wouldn't read.

well in regard to this post. i installed Jelly Bean(Vanilla Bean) rom on to mt4gs last night it has good potentioal but it is lackiing in alot places. i was previously using cyanogenmod9 alpha6 i believe and before i was using virtous 1.33 Alpha 3. however i wanted to know in your professional opinions are there any roms for MT4GS i should try. side note jelly bean is fast but cant use stock android keyboard, so i had to download from market those siine and swift keyboard apps to work also the rom is very twitchy. my mt4gs is with S-On. any opinions are welcome thank you.

One of those is a beta and one an alpha. Great work but not quite complete. There are several really great ROMs out there waiting to be tried. All you hvae to do is make a backup of the one you're on and check a few out. Try a few that are actual releases (you should be able to tell from the title) and see what you like. It's ALWAYS the best way.

Why you don't use this rom:

To S-Off go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17424340&postcount=24
or you can use this form virtuosrom:
[MT4GS][ROM][21-05-2012][Virtuous Primadonna v1.17.0 Alpha 3] Sense 4A - 4.0.3
Anyway, install Titanium backup and remove what u want; thats all.

Ive been searching for a solid rom since I got my phone in late November. Out of the 6 or so roms I have downloaded the most common problems are.
1) Software keyboard doesnt work.
2) USB File copying either doesnt work, requires a paid app or is very slow.
3) Battery drains faster or wont fully charge.
4) GPS becomes hit or miss
5) Support for promising roms suddenly stop, making you wait for someone else to port another rom which has almost the same sort of problems.
Most of the roms are stable, they are missing some critical things.

[Q] (Q) Best sense 4.0 or ics sense 3.0 rom to use??

Just wondering which rom may be the most stable when it comesto ics and sense

As far as sense goes I think rooted stock or mik ROM is the only ones for that as for jb there is lots of ROMs out there I'm currently using official CyanogenMod preview 7 and I love it. Fast smooth stable but I would recommend you just try them all

sun_dream ported several ROMs, an ICS with Sense4 and Sense4.1a, as well as an ICS with Sense3.6. I never could get the Sense4 ROMs to work reliably on my phone, especially the headset audio (it is extremely picky about which earplugs it will accept). His ICS 4.0.3 ROM with Sense3.6, however, worked reasonably well for me, has great audio. There are two versions of it, one is based on Sensation 3.3.2, other is 3.3.3. I found the 3.3.2 to be the more stable and fluid with really good battery life. My only issue with it was sometimes data would drop off unexpectedly. It would come back usually on its own, but sometimes you'd have to toggle airplane mode to get it back. An annoyance. Also, there was a Gallery issue with it FC'ing. But, I solved that by ripping Gallery out of another Sense3.6 ROM and pushing it to my phone. You can read about that in the ROM's thread in the Dev forum.
But really, for overall stability and a ROM where everything works like it is supposed to work without having to jiggle and toggle and stand on your head or sacrifice chickens, Miktouch is the one I use every day. I do like the features of ICS and especially those of the new JB ROMs. But, this is my only phone and must work 100% 100% of the time.

Yes I must agree I use mik sense 3.0 cause its most reloable as of right now and everything works. Baytery lofe is not bad for sense also. Dont get me wrong I love cm roms bit need more stability also I hope cm based roms fix the video out.
EDIT: can someone post me links to some customizations for mik 3.0 would be greatly appreciated.

No one can answer this question correctly except you. Try the various ROMs available to you and decide which one is best for you.
