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.

Im on jb because its smooth and stable.
Sense has great options. But so does cmx

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

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.

That's a fantastic way to put it. I'm going to try CMX and few different launches, any recommend launches, reading loads of post but personal experience is alway more valuable

I stick with Sense because Wifi-calling is a must for me, but if cm10 had that, I would definitely head in that direction.
Decided to go with CM10 for now.

The deal breaker for me is wifi-calling. When that exists on jellybean, then I will switch.

has anyone tried seeing if the ICS version works on JB? Maybe its worth a go...
Well I'm back on Viper now, started to experience multiple problems on the latest build of CM10, will probably revisit it when its a bit more (although it is pretty good already)

what do you like about sense so much? the camera app?
I'm on Sense 4 and I don't plan on going to JB unless we get an official kernel or ffc is fixed.
My memory card have 15gb of full hd songs...so sense is good for me because playback of some codec in every player sucks in cmx....And the customization of viper also attracts me...so am in viper

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.

for me its the whole UI, to me it just looks good and feels fluid and fast to use. Tbh I dont use camera app at all, if I want to take a photo, I have a dedicated camera...
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

So I've been seein the EVO 3D, and I really like its new sense ui. You can change the lockscreen with weather and when you slide through the screens there is a new carasel look and more. I am just wondering two things. 1. Is there any way to get that Sense ported over to our Inspire's? 2. If we can't, do you think that the Inspire will ever get that update?

This update is in fact coming to devices with Sense. It's going to the HTC Evo-3D first though. It's kind of to showcase it. Hit Google. There are articles everywhere for it.

I actually prefer it to vanilla Android. I ran cm for a day and flashed design gears Rom back over it. I have great battery life so far, so it really doesn't bother me. I feel almost "privileged" to have it since I own an HTC device.
You really can't beat the dialer, messaging app and keyboard. I know there are skins to out on other keyboards but I can't get the same performance as I can the built in HTC keyboard.
Plus I'm a huge sucker for the clock....

I love sense as well, but mainly I was refering to it hogging ram and cpu. I am sure there are ways they can optimize it better.
After seeing your screen shot in the other thread I'm flashing a gb Rom back. Killer battery life governs.

Thank God for 3rd party launchers. I can't stand Sense and I have given it every chance as well. Apart from the extremely annoying frequent Sense reboots the phone lags and things feel slower than on my old Incredible. Just switching from Sense to LauncherPro without changing anything else I get back over 50MB of RAM. That's ridiculous, talk about bloat.
I still haven't s-off my phone yet but I'm starting to consider it. Especially when we get stable builds from Cyanogen.

Inspire Sense 3.0 and Sensation Sense 3.0 (Stock) are two completely different beasts. The stock build for Sensation has some issues.

I knew it came with Sense. My Incredible came with Sense and it was lightning fast. As much as I like it its too slow and buggy. Once they update it and hopefully improve things I might give it another shot.
Oh and this phone hardware is reason enough to buy the phone.

Personally, I like HTC's hardware. It's Sense I can always do without. I mean, c'mon! This is a forum for phone modding, not for keeping your phone like stock.

If I can't install the apps I want then the phone is useless. Enjoy limiting what you install on your phone to keep running how you want.
I have been using ADW on it since I got it. I hate Sense and always have. To much eye candy for no apparent reason. Ill take function over form any day of the week.
By the way, I just switched everyone from the other thread regarding this same topic over to ADW from LP and gave them my settings. The 5 that did all agree that ADW is faster than LP with the correct settings. Also, the free version of ADW will not be as fast due to it not having a lot of the settings. You have to purchase ADW EX in order to feel the speed.

Sense 3 is acceptable to me
But I prefer Google's original launch app
But LaunchPro and ADW are something makes wanna throw the phone right to the wall
Sense is just trash, period. Can't wait to get my CM7!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
I can't figure it out but my phone hates Sense. Even after I uninstalled the Good for Enterprise app which I thought was causing the issues Sense starts slowing down and then craps out after a little while. It literally restarts Sense after every app install or update or even uninstall. I don't think its a memory issue only because there's plenty free but it doesn't happen right after a reboot either. I can't figure it out but it definitely seems like something is leaking memory or corrupting Sense.
When is T-Mobile releasing our update? I'm good using LP for now but it'd be nice to have a proper functioning stock launcher as an option as well.

I was running ADW EX for a few days. It was fast as ****, but I missed the Sense 3.0. Widgets and interface. My phone has no lag at all and works perfect with Sense as well. If it was laggy, I would definitely drop it for ADW. My brother uses Launcher Pro and is a big fan. To each his own.
Totally agree, to each his own.
For me ... this phone is totally usable with Sense...
Each launcher has it's pluses and minuses. There are quite a few alternatives to Sense widgets but none has completely done it for me. Same goes for HTC's apps, especially People/Phone and Email apps.
The major problem with Sense 3 was the many frequent Launcher restarts, which is almost solved now with the custom rom I'm using (CrystalPyramid), been using it for 3 days and it's been as fast as can be for me. I really can't be happier with my Sensation now.
The only two things I really miss about other launchers are changing home number of rows and resizable widgets.

Have you tried playing around with the Memory Usage and other options under LauncherPro's Preferences --> Advanced Settings menu?
I was already pretty happy with LP's performance on my phone, but a couple of experiments with those tweaks made it even better for me. Hopefully it'll make things a little rosier for you too? That is, if you're even interested in LP anymore
I would get the white screen with green HTC logo almost everytime I went out of an app so, started using Launcher Pro. Today just for the frell of it
I decided to download Go Launcher EX. I got say its 1, Free, 2, there are
loads of free themes and 3 customizable!
The guy at T-Mobile said that once this phone gets 2.3.4 and the HTC
update as well then Sense might not be so buggy.
Here's a link to view about the launcher above.

hi guys,
would you mind sharing your preferred sense 3.5 rom?
This is for the wife's phone so it's more fore stable rom for daily use.
Thanks
InsertCoin worked well when I tried it. I'm staying put with Sense 3.0 though, because Sense 3.5 doesn't play nicely with using Exchange ActiveSync with Gmail (although that might not matter in your case).
To be honest though, Sense 3.0 looks nicer to me.. Sense 3.5 just seems black and white everywhere, even when using the Blue sky theme..

Bulletproof is the best. No bugs whatsoever. Roman is a great dev.
I agree on the bulletproof...best rom i've used to date on my Sensation(and I've tried most of them) Not saying others are bad but something about BP just felt right...stable..nice extras...and for me the real thing that kept me using it was my ridiculously amazing battery life. I'm a heavy user on my phone(it doesn't leave my hand) and I'd easily get 13+ hours without a charge. Usually I'd just through my phone on the charger before I went to bed and it was just hitting the red.
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.

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.
any progress on getting the band version fixed on the Rom yet?

Choose revelation if you like HTC sense and sense features. Choose cm 10.2 if you want stock android and something that is lighter and not as heavy as sense. If I were you, I would try revelation for a week, and then cm10.2 for a week, and compare the ROMs. By the way, cm10.2 has more free ram than revelation (624 mb on android1234567's ROM)

@ OP like said above, only u can decide. U mite get another 20 posts here split 50/50 for sense and 10.2 which makes this thread useless, Im one of the sense fans but what i would say is flash a 10.2 rom (dunno which one is most stable but id prob go albinoman) anyway use that for few days r week and then when TeamVenom release their sense 5 rom, flash that n see if u wana go back
(p.s i dont actually know when sense 5 will be released, i just assume it will be soon)
If you're a true flashologic, even when you chose one of them, you'll end up bouncing back and forth. We're never satisfied Although we can stick with a rom we find "almost perfect" for a good while, we end up bouncing and try different stuff. Some people go back to CM after navigating through sense roms for a while, others do the other way around.
In the end, only you will know which feels more comfortable or it's according to your needs.
PS - And don't worry, you don't have limited time to chose, just try them and decide when you feel like.
Well, I think CM doesn't look as good as Sense on sensation. It just looks like it wasn't made for it. Sense therefore looks perfect on it. I think it has to do with the round corners, the design etc... Just my opinion..
