I think it came out around June 2011. Don't expect any official Jelly Bean updates from HTC but there are some great ROM's in the development section. If you like the Sense based ones, I recommend ViperS if you want the most latest Sense version, or ARHD if you want a slightly more stable Sense 3.6 experience.
If however you like the AOSP look seen on the Nexus devices I recommend either Bruce's CM10, Frankinstine's AOKP JB. My personal favourite is HyperNonSense which is Sense based but has the AOSP look for speed. My overall opinion would be to try them out, see what you like and make your own decision.
Hope this helped!

[Q] Pure ics rom???

Hey guys i have the htc sensation z710e and I am running sense-o-maniac ICS 4.0.3. It is stable and no bugs but I am growing bored of HTC SENSE, does anybody know any roms for the sensation that are PURE ICS and stable? If so, please give me a link.
thanks,
sensation lover.
Virtuous made one where they manually removed the Sense features. But I think it's still a Sense framework and therefore basically still Sense.
I'm with you. I hate everything about Sense. I've tried it a couple times on the Sensation. It doesn't last an hour before I flash back to a pure AOSP alpha build of CM7 that has it's share of bugs...but that I still like better than Sense.
Best bet is to wait on CM9.
Virtuous Quattro is pure AOSP.

[Q] Very VERY new to all this

Okay, here we go.. i recently bought my Sensation XE and am very pleased with the phone.
But there are som changes i would really love..
And here is my question: What ROM should i use?
I have been looking around alot and i am honestly very confused by all the different posts and statements of people so i decided to make my own post instead.
My phone is rooted and i have ClockworkMod Recovery. That's as far as i have come. What now?
Here are some of my specs from my HBOOT screen (i think it is the HBOOT) in case it can be of any use:
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.1111
RADIO-10.14.9035.02_2
eMMC-boot
Jun 2 2011,22:31:39
I would like to test out a new ROM.
Does my Radio have to be updated ?
I have read alot about this CyanogenMod but have no clue as to which version to go for.
CM 7.2 RC1? (Edit: Hmm, Seems that this hasn't been released yet? or?)
CM 7.1 RC3? (Edit: Hmm, Is this the one i should go for? in case it is. can i have a direct download link since I don't have a clue)
or even another ROM. no clue.. help?
In advance, Thanks alot to everyone who will drop their 2 cents.
Edit: This "RUU" - Like this: "RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.2_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_215830_signed.exe 385.11 MB 2 months ago"
Is that the original ROM from the carriers? or what? geez.. this is a jungle :I
If you are sense lover then use energy sense3.5 or elangsia rom

First of all, welcome to the sensation forums!!!
This device will not disappoint you :]
In these forums you'll find 100s of great developers who are willing to help you in any way they can
Now my recommendations for a rom would be the Virtuous 3.0.0 rom. This is basically a rom that is stripped out of the sense interface and replaced with a really great AOSP feel. This rom is exceedingly fast and as far as I can tell, has no bugs whatsoever. Another reason why I love this rom is because of the amount of free ram that I have...First I received my sensation and it only had 100mb ram free, with nothing open. But in this rom you get over 300mb of free ram that you can decide what to do with!!!
Good luck with your new phone.
Have a good day!
Go through the following thread. It will be worth looking.

One thing that you need to learn is to make suer you get the right ROM for your phone. You can't just download any ROm and put it on your phone. Not even a ROM that is available for your phone. It has to be a ROM that is available for your phone and the version that is made specifically for your phone.
If you are looking at CM 7.2 RC you aren't looking at Sensation ROMs.
Cyanogen never made a release candidate of version 7 for the Sensation. There is an Alpha version of it (meaning it's got bugs and not everything works right) but not a RC, or release candidate.
If you got a CM 7.2 RC and tried to put it on the Sensation it wouldn't work, and could make things very bad.
Now, when CM has a stable build it's awesome. It gives you one of teh most controllable ROM's out there, with access to just about every possible setting you can think of, plus several special features that simply aren't available on a stock ROM.
There is a CyanogenMod 9 in the works now, but there's no release date yet. The main difference is that it's based off the newest version of Android.
Since you're new, just flash gingerbread roms to start with... I know its kinda hard to browse for it because of the ICS roms... You should be able to find those gingerbread roms under the same thread with the ics...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats
Thanks all for the good answers. It's seems i should try to stick to gingerbread ROM's for now.
So now my question is: If you can advise any other ROM's?
Pro's?
Con's?
There are these two suggestions / Advises so far.

Again, Thanks alot for your time and help. It's very appreaciated.
I use insertcoin 3.4.4... Pretty stable and no problem... One thing, you can't forward mms, it will save it in draft and you can send it from there... I don't send mms that much anyway so it works for me...
Once you get use to flashing roms, youll be fine flashing ics roms... Just a bit difference because of the firmware ...
You're welcome... Be careful and read every detail.... Always match the md5 sum or sha1 sum for the files, if given... You'll be able to.find md5 checker a lot in the web for free

If you want CM7 (in other words, stock Android Gingerbread plus CM improvements) go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258543
If you want CM9 (stock Android Ice Cream Sandwich plus CM improvements) first read the guide to enjoying ICS the guy posted above, then go to the site RootzWiki and in the Sensation section you'll find a pretty good build of CM9.
firstly LOL at your HUUUGE banner ^^
Secondly, Why not mention Insertcoin or sense-a-maniac with android 4.0.3? I used miui for weeks then went back to sense and love it!
Android revolution xe or insertcoin

I really loved HyperSensation (a AOSP/Cyanomod rom) when I was in gingerbread. Now I'm using Android Revolution HD XE 6.2.1 (an ICS rom) plus Rom Cleaner plus shnizlon AOSP ICS theme, stable fast and good looking

Thanks alot for all the advises. I decided to go for cm7. And I really love it. Haven't tried any other though.. only have one problem atm, I can't seem send nor receive mms's . Will have to find a solution or live without it for now. Again, thanks all.
Why don't people advise making sure they get the right RUU before continuing? This should be rule number 1

[Q] ICS yes or not?

Hello Friends
I am a bit cunfused If I am reading experiences and problems from people using new ICS for HTC Sense.
My question is simple, flash ICS or wait until all bugs will be solved?
I am new in android so I have not any experiences to help developers somehow
and I donĀ“t want to reinstall telephone so offen.
Thank you in advance for your help in this decision.
Why dont u give it a try then u'll know urself?
With me the leak ICS is stable enough.
I've used ARHD, and IC, both work great, and I didn't have any issues... fast, stable and great battery life. I'm currently on VI 3.5 since the lock screen caller ID issues has been fixed, and it's a great AOSP rom.
+1 on Virtuous Inquisition.
Official HTC ICS is coming out in March I believe. What isn't known is what HBOOT version it'll have. If might become hard/impossible to S-OFF if applying official ICS.
If you haven't already done so, s-off via revolutionary.io now, then it's done.

Which rom did you flash
Steve
Flash ICS its good.
I personally like the look of stock ICS so i went with Virtuous Inquisition because nothing was really broken and is pretty stable. However, before I used Android Revolution HD 6.x.x for a while. It is also very stable. It all comes down to if you want stock or with HTC Sense. Also to mention, I never went back to Gingerbread. It's not optimized for dual core.
ICS is the only way to go Bro! It rocks and is progressive!
Can I S-Off now and still get ICS OTA in March?
Sorry for the n00b question but I was wondering if I can and should S-Off now or will that mess me up to get the ICS OTA in March?
I was actually using ARHD for GB but went back to stock since it was announced that ICS would come to the Sensation in March. I figured I could wait until my phone was "officially" updated before re-rooting. I didn't want to mess up the OTA update.
Is my thinking flawed? Will S-Off and rooting mess up the OTA or will it be okay?
ARHD was okay but some things didn't work correctly (Plants vs. Zombies kept restarting, another app got stuck, etc.). Does anyone know why? Is it the overclocking?

[Q] what is the most stable rom you downloaded ?

Hi ...
I'm trying to do my friend a favor by downloading a costume ics rom on his pyramid since he doesn't really like his stock rom , so my question is what is the most stable and non bugs rom for ics you advice me to download ? thanks a lot for the help guys
Custom ROMs
Since your friend is not happy with the stock ROM, you can give Android Revolution HD a miss, since it is as close to stock as one can get. Though it is rock solid & very stable.
You can go through this brilliant thread to have a look at the various ROMs available, the sense-less ROMs in particular:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613295
Do you want AOKP or sense 3.6 or 4? Cuz for sense for me it was ARHD.
but I've been using HyperSensation (AOKP) on and off for a while.
If you're looking for stability in general, I wouldn't go for sense 4 right now.
In the titles they have to advertise their stability, which isn't a really good sign IMO.
It depends if you want a stock look or a aosp look, I'm pretty sure for stock most people would recommend
this and for aosp it would be this or this the reason I didn't link you to cm9 or aokp based rom because they still have minor bugs which isn't technically 100% stable but if you don't mind those bugs and want a vanilla android feel get one of those.
P.s make sure you make a nandroid before flashing a rom.

ARHD is not wrong.
others you can try Ordriod.
The three most stable from my experiences are:
Arhd
Leedroid
Elegancia
(Ordroid is very close to getting there)
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
Most are stable unless they indicate beta!
Insert Coin is pretty good
I experimented with several ROM's including MikeHD OrDroid, Virtuious however for my preference and taste I Recommend LEEDroid Sensational 7.3.0 Many thanks to this fabulous developer!
Asianic v.2. Super stable, fast with every conceivable mod to choose from and great sound to boot.
I would say Virtuous Inquisition, never had any problems with it. OrDroid is almost there as well...
I've been running Ordroid 8.1.0 for a couple days now. It's pretty stable. It's crashed a couple times. Rebooted randomly once. But not much else if you're intested in sense 4.0. I might consider going back to Charmander and try that out for a longer period.
I've tried virtuous, its stable, however I'm liking beatsbygrogg its very stable too it has sence and virtuous is a sence less Rom , I get WiFi and hotspot. Its just a matter of personal taste. I think you should try out a few roms and see which one suits your own personal preference.
That's the fun part. Thank God for the developers to give us options, just try some and see what YOU prefer. Have fun.

Any full functional AOSP rom?

leedroid + jellybean

So guys im loving leedroids Rom but jellybean looks amazing and makes the phone a lot faster I'm liking the voice recognition already beating siri but what I'm wondering is that once its released will there be anyway to keep leedroid Rom and have jellybean running on the phone too or do u think leedroid will support jellybean on future updates because right now hes not doing any developments
I havent tried leedroid myself but i can imagine that once jelly bean is released every single developer will try to use that as their base rom. Otherwise no one will bother with it
Leedroid has stopped development tho ;( dunno if or when he will be back and I love his Rom
