I have seen lot of roms and i m really confused.. can anyone pl suggest one or two?

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.

ive had a pleasant experience with virtuous inquisition, eye candy w/ stability

Ordroid!!

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
PS: Sorry for thread hi-jack.

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!

Thank you very much everybody..i updated it to 3.32 and flashed it worth custom roms..i tried ARHD and VI and both are amazing.. Battery life has been the best..i have put ordroid on download and eager to check it also..never thought it would look so beautiful with those roms... Following i have downloaded:
ARHD (5 out of 5)
Energy (not tried yet)
Opensensation (not tried yet)
Hypersensation (not tried yet)
Virtuous Inquisition (5 out of 5)
InsertCoin Evolution (not yet tried)
There are lot of roms for this phone. Wish my razr also had roms like these.
Thanks

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.

Can someone help me find a rom

Can someone help me find stable rom that is for the most part senseless. I (I also really like the stock ics) thanks in advance

Look in the dev section.

Coming from SGS2 I do not mind sense. I was on AOKP back on SGS2 amongst many other ROMs and kind of bored with stock android look. Loving the sense so far.....maybe in the future.
Is the AOKP fully functional on HOX?

Another vote for CleanROM 4.1 DE. Super easy to install and plenty of customization.

I tried the CleanROM SE first - however had a wierd graphic bug on the pull down notification bar which was addressed by the Xi40 rom. so like it better

CleanROM is a fantastic ROM, but it is not Sense-free. The DE version has no Sense in the interface but some of it is still leftover.
I'm curious to try Xi40 as I want to find a ROM with no Sense at all to check if the LTE signal loss/battery drain issue is still there.

I have been on Clean ROM 4.1 SE for a while. It's extremely stable, but like the others have said before, has Sense.

Clean Rom 4.1 DE is the way to go!

Rohans beta 40 is good..you have to delete original apn and enter one he provides also should use either radio 1.91 or 2.09.

Could you send me a link please

CleanROM 4.1 is what I have been using and I haven't had any problems, but I do go back to cm9 when an update comes out just to give it a try.
Hope you find one that suits you. Good luck

Big fan of CleanROM 4.1 DE. I tried AOKP but the stock Dialer/Contacts/MMS/Keyboard is a step back IMO. I really just wanted the Stock Email client as this lets me set different ringtones for different accounts. It's also not worth losing the very excellent Sense Camera for the CM9 camera.
IMO, until CM9 and AOKP can provide the same camera experience (i know theres 3rd party apps but meh) then its not worth switching to them just yet.

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.
Sent from my Sensation 4G using Tapatalk

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! Best wishes.

[Q] Need help with compatible roms

Hello all,
So I just unlocked my phone's bootloader. It's a Telus htc one x with 1.91 firmware running on ics. Just wondering which rom I should flash? I used evita if that means anything. Would like jelly bean if possible.
Thanks

So I can flash anything from this section of forums? I like sense, I flashed CM10 just to get it officially rooted. Looking for the lastest and greatest, just don't know where to download, unless it's just scattered across here.

Go to android development forum there are a number of sense jb roms. Not a lot of tweaks in them yet as the Rom just got released. I use viper and its very stable but there are a few choices

THIS IS MY PREFERENCE: If you want a stock android feel with the battery and camera of Sense use Senseless RebelROM (in android development Sexton). Right now it's in beta and the video camera doesn't work but other than that it's phenomenal. As the precious poster said, Viper is also a great choice. If you don't like Sense, Nocturnal Dirty and Jellybam are both good choices.

Thanks! I'm trying out Viper now, had it for 3 days. I think I might try out Nocturnal or Jellybam.

I am selling my Sensation which rom do you think is most stable

Right now i have flashed ViperS 5.0.0 do you think that is stable enough? What would you recommend. The most important thing is stable.

You should probably revert back to compete stock.

Complete stock sucks and is slow lol. I would feel bad sending someone that.... Any other suggestions. Plus i advertised the phone as rooted with a custom rom on ebay.
edit: I think i might go with ViperS 3.1.4

ARHD 7.3, all as stock, but faster and smoother. Plus install Sultan latest Sense kernel.

WiFi doesn't seem to work on my sensation with the sultan kernel. Just go with the provided kernel. The rom I would reccomend is the ViperS sense 5.0 rom. Its very stable, and you get jelly bean with it too. I also would reccommend a tweaking tool for the SebastionFM kernel (the stock one in the ROM). Its pretty neat because you can customise alot of it.

Maybe on yours, mine is working flawlessly.
The best way is to go as close to stock as he can, all other roms are not quite good as it. I tried almost all of them and I always come back to ARHD.
