[Q] Best ROM for TMOUS Sensation?

In my humble opinion, it is quite annoying how they aren't giving these ROM threads any prefixes as to if they were designed on foreign devices or US devices.
For the TMOUS Sensation owners, which ROM are you using? And why?
I have been using the Senseless Extreme 2.0 for awhile...it is lite but I have been noticing some lag and often the sliders on the lockscreen disappear and I have to slide my finger across an empty area to unlock the phone..

Android Revolution 3.0.4 is amazingly fast and stable on my TMOUS Sensation. You won't be disapointed.

TMOUS here and I have tried a few roms, from the ARHD, Leedroid, Virtuous and now on Coredroid. All have there pluses and minus'.
But I look for roms that still keep most of what I want, regardless of Tmous or not. If it has wifi calling and is mainly in English then I'll try it. So for coredroid with the latest faux kernel is smooth and fast for me. No lag to speak of.
Have you tried insert coin? I haven't but many others have said that has been the fastest rom thus far.

I'm on T-Mobile USA also, InsertCoin is by far the best rom I've used so far on this phone and the only rom I've used. It's fast and great support and gets updated many times a week. The dev is always in the thread helping out, looking for bugs and whatnot. Great rom, I'll be using it until I get bored of Sense, and hopefully then Badnewz will start also dev-ing asop roms too.

Most ROMs should have no problem running on TMOUS phones. Some people have problems with radios, but you can always try different ones. I've been using InsertCoin for weeks with the recommended radio with no problems even though it's been based off the European ROM. Flash different ROMs until you find the one that works best for you. There are some based off the TMOUS ROM if you want to start there.

Insertcoin 2.4.2 + 0.1.2 faux kernal. thats perfect. smooth and fast. then flash t6he latest radio. sure work with tmous sensation. enjoy.

Are you using the NoHz or the JRCU edition of the faux kernel?

Battery life
Those who have tried multiple ROMs which would you say gives you the best battery life?

Senseless Extreme 2.5 and like it's speed, lite memory usage, and no bloat!

Flash JRCU 1.56ghz work very fast and stable (no bug) on my lovely sensation !!

Frankinstine and eavleblood are 2 tmo based Roms. I'm using frankinstine right now and so far so good. It was also updated today with some nice features. Havnt had a chance to flash update yet

ARHD 3.0.4 with faux NoHZ 0.1.2 1.56 kernel.
Absolutely smooth and fast, no lag and very good battery life.

I've tried several, but by far, in my opinion, the best two are InsertCoin and Android Revolution HD 3.0.4. The new Faux kernel makes both of these run fast and smooth.
Honestly I still can't decide which of the two I like more. Try them out.

I'm using Android Revolution HD 3.5.0 and want to try other roms. If not satisfied I'll go back to stock rom.

I don't care too much for HTC Sense - AOSP guy myself. The XboarderMOD 1.0.5 ROM - which is based on CM7 is pretty cool. Phone feels so fast with sense gone.

yep, u got to luv getting rid of sense/bloat for speed!

I'm on LEEDROiD myself. Since he's UK based, I just gotta change the gps.conf and change the horrendous lockring, then I'm good to go. Took a look at the other ROMs, but saw no reason to switch. Tried CM7, but came back after a week.
Good battery life, really stable, works really well in general. It's what Sense should have been imo.

best Kernel for MIUI?

I'm switching from ICS to the latest MIUI rom that was just released.
Since the kernel is clocked at 1.7 I need to use a different one.
So whats the best one for it? Im aiming for battery life and I dont need more than 1.2 or 1.5.

Just download system tuner or setCPU from the market and adjust the clock speeds. The trinity kernel works very well with miui and the sensation.

Bricked Kernel AOSP XE 1.6 is best for what you need

you can try out Faux AOSP kernels as well. On miui 1.10.14 i had a quite good battery life and performance with it !

Sense 4 Roms

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.

Also using viper
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

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!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app

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

Light sensor of Bricked
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!

[Q] Viper ROM users

I plan on testing out Viper's ROM on my Sensation tomorrow & I wanted to see how you guys like it & what kernel you used with it.

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!

For me viper rom was a lil buggy and had a lot of lag took more than 3 seconds to open apps even when i switched to a kernel recommended by another member on the official post....
Im now on the jelly bean unofficial AOKP latest build and is running as smooth as a babys bottom ...
And battery is as good as cyanogenmod plus more if you turn off cpu1 and use juice defender...
