I'm running ARHD 3.6.4 right now and while the rom is very speedy, I am getting pretty awful battery life. I'd like to stick with sense 3.0 because imo, it is smoother over all. (the launcher in 3.5 is much smoother, but scrolling through lists, especially in music and bookmarks, feels much smoother in sense 3.0 to me.) Any recommendations? Would I be better off flashing a different kernel and if so, which one?
P.S. I have flashed the 1.2ghz zip for ARHD so I am not overclocked.
use pyramid3D. its super fast! everything is stable for me. battery life is great. trust!

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
Pyramid 3D or LEEDROiD Sensational 3.1.0 will be your best bets.
Both run custom kernels and are optimized for increased battery life. Haven't gotten a chance to OC Sensational yet, but currently on Pyramid 3D and loving it.

Hi,
You could just change the kernel.
A lot of people speak highly about a combination of ARHD 3.6.x and show-p1984's bricked kernel version 0.9.1
You can find it HERE
Make a nandroid backup,
Wipe cache partition and dalvik,
flash the kernel and reboot.

Thanks! I already flashed pyramid3d, but if I don't like it I'll definitely give that kernel a shot.
lol, Pyramid 3D uses the Bricked Kernel. Though you may want to flash the newest one here, the one included in 8.2.0 caused some hangups for me.
Bricked Open Beta 1.45 #499
Insertcoin v2.2.5 SSE is also a very good ROM.

Let's me know how it goes. I just got a sensation, still playing around for the best battery ROM.
will try this thanks. Right now running ARHD with bricked kernel and getting decent battery life, enough for one day.
I have tried a few roms. Arhd 3.6.x, bulletproof, insert coin. I'm now on arhd 4.1.3 and the battery is good. Consistently getting 24-30 hours with light / moderate use. I think 3.6.x is faster though.

I'm using IC 2.2.5 (Sense 3.0) with Bricked kernel with very good results!
Stock xe Rom from EddyOs is the best . Best battery life. 2 days after setup runs like it has custom kernel.

I would try different kernals if I was you with ARHD and see if your battery life improves.
Rcmix 3d is my favorite
After hopping around a lot, I find myself gravitating towards CdTDroid's ROMs. SENSEaY (for 3.5) and P3D (for 3.0). Fast, stable, and just the right amount of customizations... oh, and I also use Rom Cleaner to streamline it a bit.

And not only battery. If you remove all unnecessary app's and widgets(about70) for me, you have the feeling, that it runs on 1,5ghz. It soo fast and smooth. Realy keeper.

Which is the best ICS stable & beautiful custom rom for HTC sensation?
I have seen lot of roms and i m really confused.. can anyone pl suggest one or two?
Thanks
Omg there is tons of thread like this ! Im sick of this seriously it just depends on peoples taste go try a rom and see for yourself if you like it or not ...
Its like asking what is the best car to drive ..
It just depends on you..
Not trying to be a douche or anything just sayin.

Sense 3.6 I'd say ARHD
Sense 4.0 I'd say OrDroid or InsertCoin.
But try a few and see what works best for you as said above.
no issues buddy.. i was just curious to know which is more stable as i m new to this..I will try those one by one on my own.. thanks..
ive had a pleasant experience with virtuous inquisition, eye candy w/ stability

I just flashed over Ordroid a couple of days ago sence 4. I was Amazed at the available customization during flashing with Aroma installer and AFTER installation with Ordroid tweaks! I just LOVE the options available to me! Is a stable rom, I get WiFi but not tethering. But besides the tethering its AWESOME so far! So much depends on what your personal needs are but by your post it sounds like you would really love ordroid. Little customizations make it uniquely personal. I highly recommend you try Ordroid 8.6.5. Sense 4 is amazing! But what like most is the ability to custoize. I don't think you will be sorry if you choose Ordroid!

I love this rom because of its speed and stability but i wished we could have the old sense 4 camera... HD pics and could snap lot of pics just by holding the shutter button also i noticed sound quality in headphones differs from rom to roms ?
This is horrible :/ i loved it on virtuous it was very well balanced.. can a 3rd party app help ?
And htc music causes wakelocks so alot of battery drain idk what to do battery isnt so good for me and all i do is listen to music

VI v4.0.2 works a treat for me!
Stock T-Mobile Sense 3.6 Elegancia rom. ****ing awesome! 1.1.0 to be exact. It's the stock rom with nothing added, just rooted.
Would definitely recommend Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2
If you're more of a sense person, why not try Ordroid(Sense 4.0) or InsertCoin(Sense 3.6)?
Thanks guys got lot of info abt three custom roms... Seems ordoid and VI are the best..i m not into more sense but would like to try once sense 4.0...
Also i just rooted my phone and s-offd it. And downloaded some custom roms btr everywhere it says one warning that firmware should be 3.30 or something..and i have stock firmware 1.52 something.. I guess i need to upgrade it but got confused after seeing lot of threads..

bro, if you're new to rooting and flashing new ROM, i suggest you to try ARHD first because most of the guide are using ARHD as example. i started rooting two months ago, and read most of the info from there.

Yes upgrade to 3.32 firmware BEFORE you flash any Ics rom. And yes you will love ordroid especially if you like customization! Sense 4 is wonderful! Never had trouble with it yet. But please remember the firmweare is EXTREMELY important, you will get into trouble if you try to use any Ics (4.0.3) rom with out upgrading the firmweare first. So please upgrade to the 3.32 firmware FIRST. Hope this clears up the confusion and helps! It's very important you do this without question if you want the Ics Roms. Which your saying you do. Have fun and good luck! I know you will just love sense 4! Happy flashing!

Best Sense Roms
OrDroid with sense 4.0, most bloatware removed, frequent updates, bugs HDMI out, WiFi Tether,
InsertCoin same as above, different theming
Team Pokemon, new sense 4.0, same bugs as above, however, Pokemon team has great tweaks as well as some of the best dev's, including the dev on OrDroid,
ARHD is the best sense rom without bugs, however Sense 3.6 with most bloatware removed, updating is slow, however, due to stability or the rom isn't a problem
You can try them all, you will end in the Elegancia's threads anyway!
I'd give Cyanogen Mod 9's Nightly build a try. I flashed over from Android Revolution HD and I'll never go back. The entire build is sleak and smooth. Android 4.0 brought a whole new way to see things when it comes to Android for me.
Which one r u guys using ?
To me, there is really difference between all the different sense 4 Roms...
Excluding the themes.
Insertcoin seems the most stable n no bugs or twitches.

I'm using the ViperS sense 4 Rom its fast stable and has OTA updates
Sent from my 1.8 GHz HTC Sensation 4G
If i haven't understand it wrong, OrDroid and InsertCoin became CoinDroid, after some development the name changed to OrDroid again, next became PkMn and last ViperS, so if you want the best Sense 4 rom experience i wil go with ViperS..
Mmm is this true ?
I tried viper s but it doesn't have a lot of tweaks that insertcoin has when first installing in aroma
Sent from my Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
ViperS has a big Tweaks App after flashing.
You can customize a lot.
Best Sense 4 from at the moment.

Elegancia because I really like the theming. Well except for the statusbar icons, but I replaced those with stock and all is good. The rest of the framework looks amazing!
I tried ViperS briefly, but really missed the Elegancia look.
I've tried both Elegancia and ViperS. I prefer the ViperS rom. It has a lot more tweak to sense 4, like infinite scrolling. Although I do like the theming on Elegancia a bit better. I haven't had any major bugs with either and the both have pretty good battery life.
ViperS ROM with overclocked 1.4.1 kernel seem to be very good for me so far! Fast & smooth and lots of tweaks!

Viper is what I'm using. I really like it. It has many tweaks and even ota (over the air) updates for the Rom! I believe it's the only Rom that does the ota updates. Makes installing a upgrade very simple. When the update comes out you simply download over the air . No need for the computer. This is a wonderful feature.

incorrect, ordroid and insertcoin merged to coindroid, then a while later separated out, then shnizlon joined pkmn team which then became team venom. insertcoin is still separate

Ahem, just pointing out my Sense 3.6 ROM has had OTA updates since version 3 - about 6 months ago
Fair enough its through an app and not intergrated into the OS but if m0narx would share how he does it (yeah he posted a thread about it a while back but the hack he posted back then doesnt work properly as it does in viper rom) then it would be intergrated
VipersS is pretty stable and smooth, lots of customizations. It could use more speed, updates are getting slower though.

The next update will include speed increases, or so venom hub says. And the updates are getting slower too because it's pretty damn stable with a mountain of tweaks. Speed increases and bugfixes are all that's left to add to it really, maybe some more tweaks. It couldn't be more of a complete ROM if you tried. HTC could certainly learn a thing or two from team Venom, makes a big global corp. look like a bunch of amateur devs who toss out the first thing that "works".
Oh it's one hell of a rom of course, & it has been, even back when Venom was called Team Pokemon. And I guess I have been a little spoiled with these Sense 4 rom updates

Anyone who uses Vipers 1.0.1 rom with Bricked kernel discovers that the background light is not changing as smooth as Faux Kernel ?
I've tried ViperS but as i switched the kernel to Faux's, the wifi cannot turn on normally.
有任何使用Vipers 1.0.1的各位發現當我用Bricked的核心時，背光的漸亮/漸暗會不順暢，但是用Faux的核心時，不管是開或關螢幕，背光都很流暢的漸亮漸暗。而且用ViperS只能搭配Bricked的核心，換了其他核心wifi就沒辦法正常開啟了！:crying:

You can't get WiFi to function normally because you switched the kernel to faux. On the first page of the Rom the developer gives a warning to NOT switch kernels as it can lead to WiFi issues . If you want WiFi working again wipe and re flash the Rom but use the kernel that came with the Rom and you will have both WiFi AND hotspot tethering working as it should . Hope this helps! Best wishes.

Installed iba21's script after flashing rom with wiped cache. The script isnt working! There supposed to be a Controller folder init'd folder but there is nothing. Followed everything said on the Script thread, nothing happened. I also checked and changed init'd folders permission. Is there any custom way to copy and run the script beside flashing? Thank you
Ps: I use SetCPU with multiple profiles. Is that stopping the badass script.

Hi there. I use pyd-x stable 3 kernel on my viper Rom . I really love it. The Rom has tons of customization and that particular kernel has a system tuner type of mod that goes with it and you can flush your system on terminal emulator if it's getting lag. This kernel is very fast and I've got great battery life .
I'm very happy with my set up. Play around with different kernels and see what suits you best. Best wishes !

Been on Viper for about 2-3 weeks now...Customization is awesome. The team is very helpful as well as non team members. I was running Coredroid for a long time and decided to try this for a while and I give Kudos to both roms and member..im sure you wont be disappointed.

The ROM is wonderful except, if you set something in the settings wrong it goes into a reset loop. I have no idea which setting it is as you have to reinstall the ROM including a full wipe to make the restart loop go away. I have now given up on the ROM until someone can tell me it stops restarting
I'm currently on Elegencia's ROM but I've heard nothing but good comments about Viper's ROM so I'm use it for a while
Been using this ROM for about a month now with latest Faux kernel. Battery life awesome, love all the tweaks, running smooth as a babies butt!
Had no reboots, very stable. Only minor gripe is that recently don't always get message notifications for Handscent. Probly something on phone not the ROM though.
Defo recommend!
