[Q] Choosing between Sultan Kernel on desensed Elegancia ROM - HTC Sensation

I'm using a de-sensed Elegancia ROM.
So I'm quite frustrated on which type of Sultan's kernel I should be using.
By right it should be the one with SENSE.
But the one with JB&AOSP ICS works too.
PS: Using the Nova Launcher provided in the Elegancia ROM
Difference I found is that when I flash in the JB&AOSP ICS version of Sultan's kernel, I get more free RAM.(Using most aggressive minfree).
And its slightly a bit more responsive than SENSE version.
Thought's guys?

If you have a sense based ROM you should use Sense version of sultan's kernel, no matter if you desensed it or not . If you have have a AOSP ROM you have to use the no sense version. Don't invent You may run into problems.

If you de-sense the main base will always be the same (sense) so you have to flash the Sense kernel

You must use each kernel with the base it is designed for. For example, when you use my AOSP kernel with a Sense ROM, USB connectivity doesn't work (go ahead and try connecting your phone to a computer right now and see what happens). Also, graphical performance is better with my kernels when they are used with the bases they are designed for, meaning that you get better graphics performance when you use my Sense kernel with a Sense ROM and my AOSP kernel with an AOSP ROM.
Bottom line, I have 2 different kernels for a reason, so use each kernel with the base it is designed for.

Thanks everyone! No wonder even while playing low ended games its slow.

Sense 3.0 kernel & Sense 3.5 kernel

Is it possible to flash a kernel from a Sense 3.0 ROM to a Sense 3.5 ROM? Would it work?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
For the most part kernels are compatible with both 3.0 and 3.5 there are some such as bricked 1.4 that are only compatible with 3.5 or visa versa. But ya those exceptions will be announced by the dev in his op. Which kernels were you thinking?
Im running RunnyDroid, I love it but the battery life is not so good any suggestions for a good kernal for this 3.5 rom?

I was running the PachaRX Kernel which is awesome and super fast but the camera doesnt work, I wonder if this is a (my device) issue or if this is something common out there. I did see some have issues with the same kernel and camera but I believe it was xxPachaRX Kernel II or something like that.

[Q] What's ROM is better for you?

Good evening
I just read the new ViperSs 1.0 ROM and it looks awesome! I have ARHD 6.6.7 with faux kernel and HQ camera MOD, and I want to change to something new, maybe Sense 4.0 based on news HTC's or non-Sense ROM (Cyanogenmod or MIUI).
I like CyanogenMod, but there is no stable version yet.
MIUI has a spanish stable version based on v2.4.27.
ViperSs ROM have only one bug: HDMI out doesn't work, but it isn't a problem for me. ARHD and ViperSs are very similar in features, but ViperSs use bricked kernel. I didn't use it before, but it seems very good.
Is there another ROM with new features? What ROM you recommend me?
Thank you in advance!
I'm downloading ViperSs now at the moment ARHD 6.6.4 and I haven't used any other Rom in my Sensation, so is the moment to try another one

I think so. ARHD is a very stable ROM, but I want something new and I want it now! xD I'm waiting for your first impression of ViperSs =)
It all comes down to your personal
taste. I always liked the sense look and feel. I'm running the new Viper ROM right now and it is really fast.

Obligatory mention of MIUI. Now that certain websites are building for the Sensation from source, AOSP and Sense based, you get some serious performance and some really great software.
But that's only if you want to let go of Sense.

i agree its just to hard to let go of the htc camera and a couple widgets that cannot be matched on any other rom.
i prefer NonSense roms, caus i dont like sense, and rom is much smoother without it...
i like Asop but for me, battery life is not as good as on sense based roms...
just moved to viperss, after using arhd such a long time and i believe sense 4 is a little faster in applications however scrolling is very slow on all sense 4 roms, i tried elegancia, ordroid, insertcoin evolution and at the end viperss all have scrolling problem, maybe not a problem but i got used to scroll fast
Trying out viper now. So far amazing battery life and the viper tweaks are cool!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Thank you to all. I think I'll try ViperSs ROM and if I don't like it, I'll try non-Sense ROM like MIUI.
CM not is a stable ROM, that's true. My girlfriend has CM 7.2 and she has some important bugs...
I'll post my experiences with new ROMs! ;-)
Thank you again!

tray ORDROID 9.0 very stable and sense 4.0. bricked is one of the best kernels I have tested... so i recommend that combination... good luck!
I think you will be happy with viper.i know the battery life seemed better than ordroid . I'm actually quite shocked at how great the battery is on viper. Its always been a issue in the past now its great. Also haven't tried yet but wifi tethering is supposed to work. Only bug reported so far is HDMI output. I'm running now will try out tethering soon.

One question, What wipe I have to use to flash viperS ROM? SuperWipe of ARHD or wipe all data of 4EXT Recovery?
I suppose that the method is:
.- Backup old ROM, apps and SMS/contacts (personal information in general).
.- Reboot into recovery
.- Wipe all.
.- Install from SD card
END =)

The ViperS installer makes a full wipe at the beginning I think...let's see, when I changed from ARHD to ViperS I flashed "ARHD Super Wipe", then wipe all from 4ext, and then flashed the new rom btw I remember that those wipes deleted my games data (like N.O.V.A. or Asphalt downloaded data)...the "Android" folder one.

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

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

ViperS has a big Tweaks App after flashing.
You can customize a lot.
Best Sense 4 from at the moment.

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.

Best rom for me

Im going to root my sensation in the coming days/weeks, and I want to install a sense 3.6 rom that has........
Longer battery life then stock
Really stabile
Fast
And a good camera/or stock camera
What would be a good rom for these given specifications.
Thanks.

ARHD would be your best bet

I second the notion.
If the stock look and feel with a bit more stability are your criteria then ARHD is your choice.
However if you want some more options, tweaks, and customized UI then explore some of the other sense ROMS.
If Sense is critical to you, avoid all AOKP AOSP and Cyanogen ROMS.
Don't be lazy and find it yourself.

ARHD ftw if you like sense
revolution hd would be my recommendation as well
After root, flash showp1984 kernel.
No need ARHD.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
I would recommend insert coin. It is so much faster tan ARHD in my opinion.
You should try a few! Currently on Frankinstine's JB aokp. Happy flashing!
Vipers 1.1.0 is quite good. I keep getting bored of Sense ROM's so I keep switching .
On my Sensation I prefer something light and fast. I currently using JB AOKP and trying out the JB MIUI as well. Try AOKP, MIUI, or AOSP builds as they make the Sensation a lot faster. If you want a Sense build ARHD and Baadnews are good. If you want Sense 4.0 then try ViperS rom.
After you try out a rom for a couple of days, then try out a Kernel. There are a few different options, depending if you do a AOSP or Sense base Rom.
I have used Virtuous Inquisition for a long time now. Not a single problem. Fast, Excellent battery life, and very stable.
I would also recommend ARHD.
You may also want to check out Virtuous Inquisition if you can do without Sense. I was running it for quite a few months and it was great. Long battery life and stable.
Check out a few and see what you like the most.
-----------------------------
Current Device: HTC Sensation 4G S-off/Super CID
Current Rom: CyanogenMod 10 (Bruce2728 Beta)
Previous Rom: Virtuous Inquisition
Kernel: Stock
Recovery: 4EXT
Previous Device: NexusOne
ARHD for stock look and its fast (slightly better battery life than stock) Downside its Sense 3.6
Viper S little slower compared to ARHD but tons of tweaks and Sense 4.0 (same battery as ARHD)
Happy hunting.
Hi there, you really need to try SEVERAL out for yourself because what might be right for someone else might not at all be what your looking for! Everyone has different opinions and its ALWAYS best to form YOUR own opinion. This is the fun part the experimentation! Please take my advice , read the change logs on the roms, if one catches your eye, try it! Make sure you do to your nandroid backups and shop around.we are fortunate to have so many available! Do your self a favor and try out many!

Lots of crashes when using a Sense 3.5 rom

Dear friends,
I've been using Fallout rom for a while now but I decided to try a Sense 3.5 rom since they run more stable and faster than most ICS roms.
First I tried Endymion and later Energy rom. However with both roms I get a lot of crashes and I can't figure out why. Sense 3.6 roms run fine.
The crashes with Sense 3.5 also happen whilst the nothing is installed. How can I find out what's crashing my phone?
AW: Lots of crashes when using a Sense 3.5 rom
If they keep crashing, why do you still think they're more stable?
I was on endy before this, planing on going back after doing a test with reaper. Never had any crashes/reboot. I could only think of bad download/install as the cause if no app was installed/restored.
You probably didn't flash the boot.img and are still using the stock kernel.

Coming from fallout it wouldn't even have booted on the previous kernel, so that can't be the issue.
Have you changed any oc/uv settings?

I flashed the right boot.img and did clean installs (wipe data/cache) and haven't touched oc/uv settings. It also seems to happen more often when I'm multitasking e.g. Listening to music and browsing.

Good one. One would expect the gingerbread roms to be more stable but not on my phone. I like the gingerbread speed and they're more battery friendly than ICS roms in my experience.

R: Lots of crashes when using a Sense 3.5 rom
As far as I know, now ICS ROMs and JB ROMs are far more stable that GB ones. I am using Flinny's CM10.1 build 12 ROM daily without any issue, and I saw that Desire XS is pretty fast, maybe as fast as GB ROMs. Except for personal taste I see no point to stick around with GB ROMs.
desire xs is a great ROM ,, GB does not stand a chance!
