What do you want AOSP, CM9 or Sense 3.6 or 4?
CM9 and AOSP you should go to modaco.com and search for TripNRaveR's Roms.
If you want Sense you should try InsertCoin here on XDA.

I just got mine about three days ago.
Coming from a Galaxy, EVERYTHING about HTC sense makes me sick to my stomach.
Went with the one with most views I saw - AndroidRevolutionHD, and went through the INSANE process of going from stock to ICS.
Now running 1.7GHz, replaced HTC sense with the AOSP themes.
Only bugs I see so far are htc.bg crashing, messaging app getting rather wonky with multiple texts, and the music controls sticking on the lockscreen after Google Music closes. Also no MMS at home for me. No signal, Wifi calling only, but the AOSP app doesnt support that. Boohoo.
So that's my reccomendation.

Why use a Sense Rom and replace it with AOSP theme and launcher??
Flash an AOSP or CM9 Rom if you dont like Sense.
Best ones to find on modaco.com by Trip.

No video camera or bluetooth is a pretty good reason. And honestly, the Sense to AOSP roms aren't noticably slower than straight up AOSP.

Ah o.k. And no MMS, no Signal and only WiFi calling is so much better?
Didn't try this Rom but if it realy have this bugs its not useable i think.
For most people its more important to make calls than use BT or make videos.
But o.k everybody has their own needs.
Did you ever try One of Trips roms?
Dont think so because than you would not say that there is not much difference in speed between Sense with AOSP theme / launcher and pure AOSP.

Thats no AOSP rom. Its a Sense Rom with most Sense parts removed and some AOSP apps included.
But its still a HTC Sense Rom.

Well the only "sense" rom I played with was stock on 2.3 - and in five minutes I knew I hated it.
And actually bluetooth is a must for me. I don't make calls at all, but I use a keyboard and use my phone for writing documents and taking notes.
I'll give Prime a try if these bugs get any more severe. Getting really tired of constantly wiping.

I switched from ARHD to OrDroid and I freakin love it. Sense 4.0 is awesome and runs smooth on the Sensation 4G. Just dump the Sense launcher and use something like Apex or LauncherPro instead.
Try them all and see which one you like best. They are all good. Try sense and senseless Roms. My personal favorite is Elegancia after trying many.

I love my Sensation XE now more than ever after I flashed ORDroid v5.0.2 + SoundBoost + Equalizer + faux kernel.
I don't know if its just me but the beats sounds way much better than when I was on ARHD v6.6.3. The only downside is I get a better battery life on my last installed rom.
As the previous poster mentioned above, use other launcher like Apex or Nova.

Same here. Although, I like the Sense launcher, to me 3rd party launchers with Sense feel really out of place.
On a side note, I hope LauncherPro gets updated someday. It was excellent on Gingerbread and Froyo on previous phones.

While I mostly agree, I need to correct some things....no offense.
Virtuous isn't AOSP, it's an AOSP "experience" based off sense base. True AOSP right now is Opensensation which is (CM9).....also as listed in your last suggestion cm9 (opensensation) isn't that customizable right now.
Also, while many suggest to try them for yourself......to someone who just rooted their new sensation, this can be a long process, with plenty of time consuming reading and configurations....
So I think it's best to offer the OP a starting point:
Pure stock like sense (3.6) - ARHD
Pure Stock like Sense (4.0) - Don't know if there is one, most I've tried are too laggy, and have too many bugs....but try any one to get the feel...maybe Coindroid
Pure AOSP - Opensensation (I don't even notice the bugs as listed)
Pure MIUI - There isn't one
- MIUI.us and MIUI android are based off sense base
- UltimiuIcs is based off AOSP, but developer is finishing exams
Given the above, they offer a starting point (with MIUI and sense 4.0 a starting point just to see what it's about) IMO, I'd wait for MIUI AOSP based if you like that, and wait for bug free sense 4.0 if you like that.
The rest of the roms, sense and AOSP are just variations on the starting points above.....with some being tiny, tiny visual variations (the rest under the hood), and others quite a few modifications.
As far as my onions:
- I find sense too laggy, I mean our phones can handle it....but of you want battery life, your gonna have lag.
- I recently moved to Opensensation, and can't even compare the speed....even underclocked, undervolted....while I do miss some sense features, they don't even compare to the speed.
- I recently tried "eyecandy" AOKP, based off AOSP....and there is a lot of tweakability and theming works as I'm sure more will be available.
As far as kernels.....if running sense, I'd use bricked, if running AOSP, use stock kernel with rom, or faux kernel.
Hope that helps for a starting point....and NANDROID...NANDROID!
That way you can easily revert back if you don't like one or get into trouble.
Cheers!

Ive been reading around and every site has things mixed up...
Will the HTC Sensation line officially get either:
Jelleybean
Sense 4
Jelleybean + Sense 4.1
There are reports that it will get jelleybean with Sense 4.1 and reports that it will only get Sense 4.
Can anyone confirm anything?
Thanks!
Personally I doubt that it will get any major updates from now on - no official Sense 4.x, no Jelly Bean.
Of course, ROM developers will make all of these available to us
I agree with Ellis, Historically HTC have only really done 1 or 2 updates with devices.We had 3 i doubt we will get anymore
True true And yes, thanks to the devs! im personally waiting for a sense 4 rom from And.Rev, but they need HTC to release some kind of code for them, sense 4 for those devices, which im afraid means since there will not be an official sense 4 for the Sensation, means no And.Rev Sense 4 rom... or maybe im totally wrong and they can still manage?

Unless htc release an official sense 4 for sensation then Sense 4 ARHD is unlikely as mike1986 is a chef, not a dev.
No im not having a go at him before I get any hate pm's, im stating a true fact - take it or leave it.

Have you tried other Sense 4 ROM's like ViperS and InsertCoin, I know that some people tried early versions of Sense 4 ROM's and it sorta put them off because of the buglist bug the only "port" bug left is HDMI output (I say port bugs because some minor bugs in the ViperS ROM are due to the tweaks). So it might be worth just flashing a newer sense 4 rom for a week or so just to see if you like it any better

Really??
1. Until HTC get their asses in gear then you wont see a Sense JB rom, only AOSP
2. It is highly likely Sensation WILL NEVER get official JB with Sense (sad but true), the best you can hope for is a One series port when htc updates those. And quite obviously I would have thought, we dont know what Sense version it will be because htc hasnt announced anything and no htc insider has posted anything about it so how are we supposed to know?
3. Dont even bother asking for timeline on when stable versions will be done, it is annoying in the extremes. It will be done when all the devs working on it manage to fix the bugs (atm they dont have a lot to go on because the published source code wont even sync properly)
To be honest i wouldnt think the Desire C would be of any help to us. 320x480 resolution,600mhz CPU Would be like porting a WFS rom to the Sensation.Best to hope on One V or S
Yes sense 4 is stable and has a lot of customization for them. It's also very elegant and smooth.

Hi all
I'm very torn as to which ROM I stay on.
I've been switching between Viper ROM & CM10. Both are awesome ROMs but I can't decide which I prefer more.
I really like the integration that sense gives you over AOSP but can't get away from the fact that CM 10 is giving amazing battery life.
If anyone can steer me in any direction I'd appreciate it.

Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Nobody can really make the descision for you. You need to decide which is more important for you, good intergration of apps, or better battery life? After that, it's an easy choice to make.
I really like both for those reasons, back on viper again now will probably check CMX soon
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
why not just keep both on your phone and change to which ever one you fancy with boot manager................sudeki300
Go with one and commit to it. It's like when you're dating two girls at once, and they're both great, but eventually you have to pick one or the other. You're playing with their emotions. Do you want the bust y blonde in sense, or the amazing personality brunette with maybe some aesthetic flaws? You just have to tell one to take a hike and go all in with the other. Pimp out CM10, enjoy Sense 4s beauty, whatever.
For me, I'm a CM10 guy even though sense is much better for organizational purposes right of the bat. But the thing is, I can organize just fine with CM10, just takes a little more customization.

Sense just feels more fluid and connected. For example, clock weather widget, tap on the time and it takes you straight to alarm clock,timer,stop watch. Tap the weather and you get the forecast.
To achieve the same on an AOSP Rom, needed to find a clock widget (fancy sense) then a timer and stop watch app, then a weather app and then set the widget up to open the secondary apps.

My whole life I've used AOSP until about 2 months ago. With sense I feel the phone is just more intact, by that I mean stuff just works. Like the kernel has no hacks or whatever, all the libs are there, all the kernel codes, hardware and software seem to cooperate more. I personally feel the sensation was meant to run sense, despite not liking the aesthetic look, everything is fluid and works wonderful

I picked up the Nova Prime when it was $0.25, been running the free version before that. The sense Widgets are over rated IMO, and its absurd I can only use them on the sense launcher. I would use sense launcher if I could set the row and column number, 4x4 on a 4.7" screen is rediculously wasteful. I use 5x7 (5x8 with dock) and don't feel cramped on Nova.
The camera is important to me, and the battery life. And notification toggles (like TouchWiz, CM, and AOKP) too. For those reasons I stay or come back to ViperXL. Its stable, fast, and full of customization.
