fastes is CM or some one based on CM.MIUI is fast too..i rememebr that i got quadrant score with hydrogen around 3000+
Yes! CM will be 1st!
AOSP ROMs will always be faster than sense.

i vote for CM and MIUI. i love sense rom but i need rom with better battery life.
MIUI is quick and stable. Looks great and is far more easy to fiddle with (settings and stuff) then sense.
I have to admit it, although I'm a long-time Sense fan, CM7 has proved to be beneficial in terms of speed and battery life. Footprint is also lighter. CM7 = 80MB, Sense ROM = 380MB!
What I have found though, as I am perfectly happy with the speed of a good Sense ROM, is that CM7 allows me to under-clock to 806Mhz and still have the same response as a Sense ROM, but with nearly double the battery life. Just another way of taking advantage of a ROM's speed!
Don't forget that when you get used to a ROM's full speed, you can never go back!
new official MIUI available now.
I tried both now, cm7 and miui.
And miui is Great
Is the new update available in german?

Hello, can you recommande good working and stable clean ICS ROM(like Galaxy Nexus stock interface) for daily use that has no htc sense? thx
Try Fallout or AOKP. Both are pretty good, but have some bugs.
Anyway, they won't be as stable and good as we wish until new kernel from HTC will be released.
As far I know, there isn't any absolutely problem-free and bugfree ICS ROM due to that kernel.
Fallout is a great rom indeed, but it's sense.
Try IceColdSandwich, or Tectas Unofficial.
BlindIce is what you want! Almost perfect!

because of my obsessive-compulsive-rom-flashing fetish, I have tried Fallout, Miui, IceColdSandwich, BlindIce and Primo. While Primo and Fallout have sense 4 lite, they are not what you are looking for. Miui is stable and has a good set of features, however, the ICS version of Miui is laggy and slow. Another major drawback is that Miui seems to ape ios in terms of UI and that gets really boring really fast. After all, that is why we are on android no? I have heard that the AOKP stock from Tectas is not as fast as the IceColdSandwich rom (possibly because IceColdSandwich incorporates tweaks from a number of sources including linaro and has the camera working, which I haven't seen any posts confirming this for the AOKP rom). i've tried BlindIce too, and found it a bit too laggy for my taste. So, you are probably best off with IceColdSandwich, which I have found to be the least laggy, less buggy, with most bits and pieces working and regularly updated. All flashing was done with clean install, full wipe/factory reset and no restoring of apps. Yeah, OCD like I mentioned earlier. This is just my opinion, however, I'd love to hear more from others with different experiences.
- tazz
I've tried CM9, tectas' AOKP and IceColdSammy. IceColdSandwich does feel like the smoothest and fastest of those 3. Didnt last long on CM9 and barely a day into it i went back to Reaper (still my favorite ROM). but that was one of the earlier CM9 builds, haven't gone back because every time i think about venturing away from Reaper, i try AOKP first (the latest one from Tectas is probably the most stable one of that series i've tried) then the IceColdSandwich (the latest version 8.3 is, again, the most stable) which is what I'm running now. I think i like the "cleaner", more stock android feel of AOKP. the smoothness of IceColdSandwich on top of that is plus too.
Been away from Reaper just a little over a week now and i might not come back or switch to another (yeah, right) until lowveld (fingers crossed) decides to build an ICS or JB version of Reaper.
ICE_DS by ronks is most probably the closest we can get to our official ICS OTA! With sense 3.6 though, might wanna try it out...

i think cm9kernel isnot stable enough ...often radom reboot,but thank nk111and nexx
and other devs anyway ,they really did a goodjob
Sent from my Desire S
Howdy,
I've tried Virtuous Quattro RC3, whose development unfortunately stopped, and now I'm using IceColdSandwich 8.3, which is a great ROM, but I've encountered a few apphangs and the camera is still not as polished as I would have liked.
Could you recommend a ROM with regard to what I mentioned above?
CM9 is good, although development also stopped on that. CM10 is very promising. Using that now as my daily ROM. Stability is the same as CM9, so no issue with that. A few things are now working, such as the front-face camera, but that's not a big issue for me.
If you want a completely stable ROM, with no issues, your best choice is probably an Gingerbread ROM, at least until there is a ICS compatible kernel from HTC.
Well, I'm kinda inclined to try Ice DS or BlindBean, but I can't decide which one it's going to be.
Anyway, thanks
it's not like buying a house or choosing a wife.
i used to be hesitant like u, but after flashing from cm7.1 i never stop flashing. and i try to make it a point to try it all(gB , jB or anyB).
u can flash ice ds, try it out, make a back up, then flash blindbean, if u prefer the earlier, then just revert back.
I've used pretty much all ICS roms posted so far (bad case of flash-itis), and so far my two favorites are Fallout V4.4 which has Sense 4.0 and is really really fast, and ICE_DS with Sense 3.6
My favorite so far is ICE_DS because Sense 3.6 is less obstrusive than 4.0, and ideally I'm looking for a ROM without any sense at all (CM10).
I would try ICE_DS first... and make sure to follow the instructions on the first post! It's very important to do the FULL WIPE they ask there, it solved a lot of problems I had.
Hope this helps!

As a general rule, all AOSP ROMs with ICS and above aren't stable for heavy use as they use kernel 2.6. If you want stable ICS+ use Sense ROMs. However, Super kid has a jelly bean ROM which uses Kernel 3.0 which is a major breakthrough IMO. I've switched over to it, mainly due to the kernel. Very very stable, no reboots after days of heavy use.

And there!
So I rooted my TMobile branded HTC Sensation a couple months ago and can't believe I went that long without attempting to root it.
The first ROM I flashed was Android Revolution and I loved it! I love the Beats Audio and the ability to hide apps along with all the little things you over look. I also love how sleek the UI appears.
However, voice searching in Google Maps and in general doesn't work and I would like to install Google Now on my HTC Sensation. Can anyone recommend a good ROM I can try out? I have a trouble finding any ROMs worth looking into besides the "popular" ones.
If you want to customize it, install ViperS. It does slow down after a while, but a slight overclock of the CPU might help. So many options and add ons

Try this (albinoman887 CyanogenMod 10.1 based off android 4.2.2)
Its fluid, user friendly, and easy to customize

I would've read the whole thing if I could even remotely understand that horribly broken English.
Send I was not asking for the "best" ROM. I was asking for suggestions of less well known ROMs that get buried and are worth trying.

Hi
greetings
I must seriously join English classes due to my bad english
basically you cant ask for roms AT LEAST HERE ON XDA
you must find out on your own
LOOK INTO DEVLOPMENT SECTOR YOU WILL GET ALL OF THEM
Well, I can tell you that Bruce's CM10 is rock solid and because it's JB (4.1.x) it has Google Now. The one I'm using right now is Albino's CM10.1 (4.2.x), which also includes Google Now by default. It's also really stable. If you decide to go with CM, I'd suggest you install a custom launcher like Apex so you can hide the apps.
To Sense or not to Sense? That is the question that first must be asked to one's self, in order to begin their journey of ROM finding.
If Sense, which version of Sense? 3.6 or 4.x? Sense 3.6 offers speed, reliability and stability. Whilst, Sense 4 delivers the beauty of a newer GUI, greater features but with the sacrifice of smoothness and battery life, generally.
Roms for 3.6:
Elegancia
ARHD
Energy
Ordroid
CoinDroid (The evolution of InsertCoin, this was amazing back in the day)
Roms for 4.x:
ViperS
DarkSense
CommuniSation
If one wishes not to Sense, the choice must be made of which Android version to use. 2.3 all the way up to 4.2.2. Once the choice is made, the decision for AOSP, AOKP, CyanogenMod and MIUI is also to be made. AOSP provides the sleek, native and stock Android ROM that Google's Nexus devices all use. No tweaks, just the purity and speed. AOKP and CM are mod heavy, if one chooses to do so. Which aid in doing things to your phone which were otherwise, unforeseen in the world of mobile technology. For example, changing status bar elements, editing hardware key functions and notification area elements. MIUI, can't speak on this too much, but I feel it gives your phone an iOS feel, different to any other android skin/ROM and very orange. Didn't really like it, but that's me.
For AOSP:
Can't think of one off the the top of my head.. A quick search will do ya.
For AOKP:
Frankinstine's!
For CM10:
Bruce's!
NameLess Bean
Albinoman's
For MIUI:
ASR-Droid and many others.
im not quite happy with camera shots with all the Jelly Bean roms. i tried many JB roms and all seem take terrible pictures. then i tried a Sense based rom and pictures were much better. i dont find Sense to be bad.
so what i'm really looking for is a sense based Jelly Bean rom? all the ones i've found so far are all ICS/Sense. is there any JB/Sense rom at the moment?
thanks for your help.
i can live with a non-sense JB rom but in terms of camera, does anybody have a suggestion? i think i will try a a few camera app if i can't find a sense/jb rom.

Viper just released the first JB Sense ROM for Sensation, however camera doesn't work at all, so if you want Sense with working camera, you're still stuck on ICS. As for JB on CM/AOSP, just try a few camera apps from Play Store and see which one suit you best.
sup guys! I was out of this dev section from a while (got a one x and now a one, HTC FTW) and now my GF got a sensation...
I need a suggestion for a stable bugless rom with sweep2wake and toggles...the fastest you have...or she will leave me, because of the bugs I put in her phone..."you ruined my phone! I want my galaxy w back!! this phone has bugs!!!!" and throws things...
I was looking for albino's cm10.1 (since 10.2 is not so smooth and drains too much battery and cm11 is too buggy now), is there any other ROM I should look for?
hope I made you laugh with this post lol, I was joking about the leaving thing, but she's really pissed off because of my modding addiction...XD and I really need help, I don't know how roms are.
thank you all guys

Sense 3.6 is the last one that looks like a real Sense, everything later lost it's point.
Outdated-maybe, best working-definitely. You said you need something bugless. If you want something newer go with MIUI, it's 4.2.2, you have patched sultan kernel with ION for it (and it also works perfectly with the stock kernel).
I would go for Viper 3.1.4 cos it have full tweaks.

After using CM for a long time I got tired of the battery barely holding a day and decided to go back to the legendary ARHD and it's still the best rom for this phone in my opinion! If you're looking for stability, performance and good battery life, ARHD is definitely the way to go.
I don't really care about the Sense version. I use Apex Launcher and it pretty much looks almost the same like the CM roms I used except for the way the notification bar looks like which is fine with me.
In addition to flashing the rom I also flashed the Battery Percentage Fix / No Recent Apps / Extended Quick Settings, one of the Battery Percentage Mods, the Advanced Power Menu and the HQ Camera which takes much better pics than CM does by the way.
All current apps are working great and I'm glad I'm back using this rom. There's definitely no need to have the latest and newest software on your phone.

I'm actually not sure. If the camera app buttons are green when pressed than it's not. If they're blue than it is the HQ camera.

It actually depends on skin, HTC gives green and Blue sky gives blue.
This is written in the mod thread:
This Mod is now included by default in
ARHD 6.6.2+
InsertCoin 5.1.5+

On my sensation I'm happy with [ROM][Android 4.4.2][Camera works] CM11 with ION [...]
If you prefer JB [ROM][Android 4.3.1][Camera works] CM10.2 with ION [...]
Cm 10 is really stable
ViperS 3.1.4: very good Sense JB ROM with tweaks and so on. I got only a little bug with headphones. If you use headphones without mic, and so need to talk into the phone's mic, then sometimes you are not able to send your speech...you receive very well, but you're not able to talk.(Before someone asks, I use very high quality headphones but unfortunately they are without mic. Listening a lot of music by my mobile during the day, this to talk into the phone's mic is the only way to continue my habits.)
Elegancia: very good Sense ICS ROM with some tweaks (less than ViperS). No bugs found by me, good battery life, but glitches with Maps 7.0, due to hacks in adreno libs. You must downgrade app to Maps 6 (anyway, link is provided in the thread).
CM 10.1 & 10.2 (albinoman, a1-7, etc.): no-Sense ROM, good performance, a lot of available modifications and personalizations, but camera quality is not as Sense ROM, no way to obtain same quality. In some cases, camera app FC, and that's could be a very annoying thing when you want to capture that exact moment!
Actually I use ViperS 5, a Sense 5 JB ROM. No bugs (neither the one with the headphones), good quality pictures, no tweaks (at least, for the moment). IMHO Sense 5 is not so great because of a sort of "relaxing" in design (someone likes that, mine is only an opinion), but this ROM is the one able to give me what I desire at the moment, even if not at all. I'm waiting for a stable CM11 (albinoman's, dominos', a1-7's, no matter whose) with a no bug camera: I tried some version: speed is terrific (it seems like to have a brand 2014 new phone in your hand), and available tweaks/personalizations will be enough to let me forgive the bad quality of the camera.
Everything I wrote, obviously, is from my experience, so someone could be not agree with me.
Which cm11 to choose
Hi - Which CM11 version do you recommend guys? I saw that there are two which are frequently updated:
- [ROM] CyanogenMod 11.0 | Android 4.4.2 KitKat [KANG] [Jan-15]
- [ROM][Android 4.4.2][Camera works] CM11 with ION [Jan 9, 2014]
I am going to install it to one of my friends phone who is not going to tinker it so I would like to install the better one. Currently he has cm10.1 on it from albinoman, which runs fast but it frequently has bugs during calls so that one needs to be replaced by a better room.

IMHO don't install CM11 ROMs, then... They are not completely stable (camera doesn't work properly, and there are some bugs to be fixed).
Try a CM10.2 from albinoman or from a1-7 (sense-less), or a ViperS5 (Sense 5). No or few bugs at all, stability and speed... CM11 has to be improved a little to be considered a good daily driver.
Thanks for the tip. I will go for cm10.2 then. Android1-7's rom seems to be updated more frequtently so I chose that one.

As I always say when I address these kind of threads, your best option is always to test the ROMs for yourself and decide based on your findings.
This is always the most ideal option because only you will know what you truly want out of a ROM and everyone is simply giving opinions, which honestly have no impact on what you choose anyway.
What's ideal for you may be complete rubbish for someone else + there could be an amazing ROM which you miss out on due to the fact that no one suggested it.
As these threads generally lead to fanboy arguments, however, these kind of threads are against the rules.
Therefore, Thread Closed.
