One of my friends asked me to update their Sensation to either ICS or Jelly Bean from Gingerbread. So I Unlocked the bootloader, turned S-Off, and rooted it. However when I tried to flash CM9, It froze on the Welcome screen after I picked my language. What could be causing this?
I have heard it could be a firmware problem, but I am usure what it could be and how to fix it. The H-Boot version is old at 1.18.
Also, are there any good stable Jelly Bean ROMs? I checked out the CM10, but the fact Chrome is broken in it sucks.
Hi there, I use Paranoid Android by Dragon korr. Its jelly bean. In my experience its been fast, smooth, and stable and has a great development ! I personality love it and had zero problems with it. All is working well. It has tons of customization and has proven to be a excellent daily ROM! We are on version 14 right now. I use kernel 3.0.51, which can be found on page 1. My battery life had been excellent. Wi-Fi works great! I'm running 3.33 firmware with it. You ought to give it a try and see what you think. For me, its been amazing and one of the best ROMs I've ever used. It has different modes you can use. I suggest you read the first page carefully. You can make your phone a tablet, or a phone-tablet hybrid , or just keep it phone view. Its a lot of fun trying out different modes and seeing which you like. A new kernel and new version (15) is coming soon . I highly recommend giving it a try and seeing what you think. Best wishes.

Why do you suggest going to ICS before Jelly Bean?

Hello all,
Sorry for this daft question, but haven't been on here for months. Just wanted to know the best or most common used ICS rom you guys are using on your Desire S as I'm well behind.
I have a UK phone and was unlocked using htc dev. I only want to upgrade if all features work. Any reccomendations ?
cheers
S-off it for wider costum rom support, and flash Fallout 5. It's on Sense 4, and pretty stable.
Wrong section, reported.
Please keep questions to q&a section.

True, S-OFF it and get whatever ROM in your DS, switch between ROM easily.

I think, one of the most stable and pretty working ICS is Fallout 5.
Used it about few month, all was fine.
Now using Jelly. Not so stable and some functions didnt work correctly, but its faster

well to be honest custom roms arent for everyone, i know its tempting to want to flash a custom rom and see if things are better, but if u r happy with sense then i suggest just use the ruu from htcdev.com to get the official ics update. i have been using it since a couple of weeks and havent had any issues with it other than whatsapp hanging when u try to open link received through whatsapp. other than that its been smotth sailing, better than gingerbread and sense 3
i have used the miui ics rom and didnt like it much other than that i have tried the cyanogenmod 7.2 for desire s but my personal opinion is that custom roms are not always the most stable and if u r not into heavy customization then i would suggest just skip flashing a custom rom and stick with original htc rom.
cm9_nk111
ICE_DS is the one i choose. Stable and fast, no problems with.
But i think it's time to try Fallout.
Hi There!
Just wanted to know which Rom is the best for Pico!
Right now i'm using CM 9.1.
I have just upgraded from cm 9.1 #9 to build #10 which is just out. It works great and reports are that all the slight bugs are fixed! This is the rom and Liverpool-fan is the man.
Comparing ROMs without any criteria like UI or performance is not done
It's just personal choice

Just download a few and try them. Not everyone likes the same ROM...
Typed with SwiftKey 3 on my CyanogenMod10 powered HTC Explorer using XDA Premium!
No ROM is the best uptill now all sucks at something.... So if you want sense go for Jaggyjags's 4 something something, i cant remember names, for senseless cm 9.1 is good enough. That's my v limited experience till now havent tried JB yet, well wont really try it either.
Go for cm9.1 build #11

If you want Stock gingerbread then go for Nextgen 1.5 and if you want something different then try CM9 build 10.
This is my personal opinion only. No offence to any Dev.

Iam using cm9 build 11 and its working perfect witn int2ext+ sript. Best rom for me.
Sense 4.0a
Well I tried most of the CM9.1 builds, AOKP (except the latest build #6), CM 10 Beta #2 and Sense Based ROMS.
And I found Xperia ICS by ShadowCode very stable with most features working (also added PimpMyRom, really helps).
Right Now, I'm using Sense 4.0a ROM by derefas and modded by bulletproof. It's very smooth and fast except Bluetooth doesn't work.
Slim cyan is a better one. It is really smooth

ICS = Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.x) :silly:
JB = Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x and 4.2.x)
Bloatware is unwanted software, which is preinstalled by manufacturer on stock ROM
Till now cyanogen 9.1 working smoothly..here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821582 . Just have some problems which can be ignored.
this thread is useless. Please go to dev section and read, then find what is best rom for you.

Hi I can recommend a great jelly bean rom with very few issues! I get great signal, very fast, lots of customisation, smooth like butter! I use it for my daily rom. It's called Paranoid Android version 18. I use it with DK kernel 3.0.53 and have excellent battery life! I HIGHLY recommend this rom. The other jelly bean roms give me data problems. It's very hard to get data. But NOT this rom! I get five bars of 4G signal with this rom. Dragun korr makes this rom, known as DK. He has wonderful fast development on this rom! It's honestly near perfect! You really should give it a try! I think you will be very happy. I've tired all the other jelly bean roms and I feel this one is the most stable and best in my opinion. But everyone is different so try out a few and see what you think, but do give this one a try. Hope this is helpful, best wishes

Yes U can flash jelly beans rom
As all jelly beans and ics custom ROMs for HTC sensation is based on ics firmware I.e 3.3x
And till now There is no new jb firmware for HTC sensation.
3.33 is the newest firmware for our device .
For s on u have to enable smart flash in recovery ..

Thanks, now glad to flash jb based custom roms on my xe........................
Hiya Everyone,
Yup another best ROM thread.......
While I love the fact that I can unlock my phone and install a custom ROM, I'm far from a flashaholic. I personally like to install a ROM about once a year, to keep up with the latest release of Android.
Something I've been noticing lately, and it could be a sense thing, is that while most ROM's start out great fast and stable, they seem to degrade over time. Maybe most people don't notice, because they are flashing a new ROM every few months (or days) but for those who want to keep one version around for a while, what's the best one? Is it something potentially stock/non sense?
Thanks everyone,
D5
I use albinoman's CM10.1 since it's release and I'm extremely satisfied with it. I don't like Sense in long term use even though I think it's a beautiful. As time goes by the slow animations start to annoy me.
I think that CM10 by bruce might be a good rom for you =). It is more stable and faster for my sensation than cm10.1 by albinoman. Cm10.1 is also great but for me cm10 is more stable and it does not need to be uptodate all the time. But if you want android 4.2 then cm10 by albinoman ofcourse.
I think that for absolute stabilty the best option is ARHD! A lot of other roms are perfect too but they update frequently and for long terms use this ins't that good i think..
I am using aokp Frankenstein ROM 4.1.2 latest release . It is very stable and does everything I want it to do .
