[Q] Roms for Stock Firmware?

Hi
I'm very new to this custom rom thing, but not a complete noob...
I am curious if there are any custom roms that will work on stock firmware/kernel...?
I flashed Clockwork recovery and are using that at the moment
So far i have tried a lot of roms (mostly ICS ones) and the one ones working so far is one of the MIUI roms which i am using at the moment, but it laggs a fair bit.
I unlocked via HTC Dev tool and thus have a weird bootloader at the moment. Will flashing firmware remove this? will i be able to restore the original firmware from a backup i have already made?
Picture shows my current status.
Any suggestions for roms would be helpful.
Thanks

You are still s-on you need s-off to get root access. Get that one first. Then energy sense 3.5 is great stable Rom wich has stock kernal.

+1 on the S-OFF. When you have it and rooted and custom recovery, make sure you do a Nandroid backup ASAP and keep it safe.
I liked CM7, then again I like AOSP ROMs in general. I was dual running CM7 (GB) and Virtuous Inquisition (ICS) on 1.23.0000 HBOOT for a while. Now gone over to 1.27.1100.

Sorry for noob question, but i've tried many things to get S-off, (incuding revolutionary.io) but nothing seems to work. Is there any way to get rid of the HTC unlocking thing and flash something else?

No stock options for you there... you'll have to use a custom ROM with ultra smooth rosie tweak to eliminate 3D

As I know there is no turning back when you unlock your device

Hi there, are you missing the sense interface?
it all depends how you got to CM7 in the first place, which I'm guessing required:
1. S-OFF + custom recovery
2. Root
3. Installed custom rom
To go back you need to do this:
1. Download the *stock* rom RUU files for your phone. This allows you to get the phone back to its original stock form.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
2. Change the bootloader. This allows the RUU to overwrite it with the stock bootloader and get it back to S-ON. ENG HBoot is a good one that allows overwriting.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113820
3. Once you've changed the bootloader, flash the stock RUU over it, which should automatically overwrite the bootloader, S-OFF, recovery and ROM.

put the rom zip in the root of the sdcard and flash it from recovery
if you are S-ON i suggest you to install 4ext recovery(if you don't have it yet) and enable smartflash berfore flashing
also it works only with 3.32fw and 3.33fw version
but before everything do a nandroid backup first

edit: i just see the link thanks... i'm going to flash now ...

All you need to do is make sure you have an unlocked bootloader, s-off, it's, 4ext recovery. Once you have all that just drop the rom on ur sd, go into recovery and install the rom from zip. If u need instructions on how to s-off, unlock ur bootloader or anything else just ask.

Hi,
That tool will work on the Sensation,but it will not s-off.
Check my signature for s-off.
OR:
Look HERE
This will enable you to install custom ROMS with s-on.
Read the whole thread carefully.

The best way to go would be to unlock bootloader through HTC Dev....then flash 4EXT recovery using fastboot on pc...enable smart flash in 4EXT... then flash root and roms..
Here is a detailed a guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
The rom you mentioned is a pretty good one for the sensation...although it isnt sense 4+...it is ICS with sense 4.1
there are other roms too which are pretty good...for sense 4+ try Revelation or ViperS JB
Hope that helps

ICS ROMs should not have any bugs (or very little ones, if any). AOSP JellyBean ROMs should also be stable (I'm using albinomans CM10.1 for a month now without any issues (except MMS , which has a fix in here).
As for Sense 4+ (Android 4.1), it should be almost stable, but AFAIK there are still some issues with the touchscreen and it has not yet been perfected. I'm giving it some more time to mature myself, but many people use it as a daily driver already. There are two sense 4+ ROMs available: ViperS (which has many more tweaks for advances users), and Revelation (which is very close to stock).
Both use the same kernel and will be perfected at the same time, as all of the issues currently plagueing those ROMs are kernel related.
