All,
I've always had google (nexus devices) and decided to give the HTC One S a go. Honestly, this sense is a bad joke/torture device. Between the linkifyapp, multi-tasking, sense specific apps(calendar, dialer, sms etc) which are just abominations, i've had ENOUGH. These mods are done with absolutely no thought to usability or seamlessness.
Time to try AOSP build, or then return this phone and unfortunately get a plasticy SGSIII with easily available AOSP.
/rant
A few questions:
1) Which AOSP rom would you recommend I run (which one is closest to nexus builds)
a) CM9
b)evervolv
c)AOKP
d)other
2) What are major issues to consider when going to an AOSP rom on this phone?
a) Is there a way to get wifi calling on these roms
b) Does the crap VOIP pop go away on these roms?
3) Are there any issues in getting back to stock incase I need to return?
4) How is the camera compared to the stock cam app (only awesome appon this phone)?
Let me know, i'm going to do this today
Best,
I have a lot of the same questions for this phone. I really think the only option worth using will be CM9 if and when there is an official build for the HOS. Totally agree with the camera app. The thing that makes me nervous with CM9 is losing the excellent camera functionality. Its for that reason that I'm still stock and waiting. The VOIP popping sound is annoying, although I'm glad I'm not the only one with the issue. I just want to go back to a clean AOSP based ROM, but from what I've seen there really isnt a good option unless you want to try an Alpha of CM9.
i love the stock HTC one S its brill.

1) I would not recommend any of them until there are stable releases available. If I were going to install any of them, I'd choose CM9.
2) List of non-working features are listed in the OP of the CM9 thread. Not sure if the popping sound has been fixed in AOSP.
3) Pretty sure you would use the same method as any other ROM... RUU, relock bottloader, etc.
4) No idea, but would I would be surprised if the stock camera app could not be loaded onto AOSP.

I've read so many times that extracting the stock Sense camera app is going to be a nightmare since it's so deeply rooted into the whole of Sense. So most likely, it's going to be a trade-off situation.
The Ville has official AOKP so that would be your best bet.
I agree with you. I have always disliked Sense since HTC first released it.
1) All are pretty close to stock ICS. CM9 is probably the closest. I prefer AOKP as it has more tweaks, IMO.
2) Wifi calling as of right now is a no-go. I don't know if someone is working on it, and I don't care as I do not use it. One gripe of switching to AOSP is the camera, more info below.
3) In a custom recovery, make a backup of your stock ROM (sense). If you **** anything up you can always go back to exactly what you had when you made the backup.
4) AOSP camera is **** compared to Sense. No burst shot, shutter has lag, video barely works, and no panorama. There is no HDR mode as well, which I really like on the stock. The camera is the BIGGEST turn down when switching to Sense. It is why I am still on Sense.
CSP, what Aokp rom are you talking about? Pm me a link or something. Want to look into it.

Please stop with the bull****!
CM9 is very stable on the One S. Great battery life and smooth. Camera and camcorder working great and even takes pics while filming.(idk wtf guy above is saying about camera)
AOKP is basically CM9 but with more tweaks and at the moment not as stable as CM due to a few bugs but overall good enough for daily driver.
Every AOSP custom rom is basically CM9 so if you want stock like the OP says about his Nexus S...CM9 only way to go!

I think most of us bought the phone because of the great specs. There are a lot of people who get Samsung phones but dislike touchwiz. It's all personal preference...

+1. Im on T-Mobile, loved the specs on the HOS even over the SGSIII. Disliked Sense but disliked touchwiz even more. Decided to go with the best house in a bad neighborhood in terms of bloated android overlays. I honestly do not see why manufacturers feel the need to "improve" upon Android. Its perfect in its unadulterated state. One man's opinion of course. The HOS would absolutely fly on 4.1 with no extra BS on top of it.
My Experience
I have owned Htc devices since the G1 I got the 1S for my girl when the upgrade was available I had to send the 1S back for replacement due to data issues (T-mobile) They sent me another one with an older baseband hell I rooted it put a stock sense Rom on it and told the girl here you go it works great and is fast camera is awesome I replaced my Sensation with the play store Gnex all I can say is HOLY **** what a piece this is IMHO it blows away any of the devices I have previosly owned including the 1S my girl has now plus I don't need to wait on HTC or T-mobile to provide an outdated update for the device I currently am running JB V.1 pre release and its badd azz I run aokp aosp both and they just fly I think the camera is fine and getting updates from google is much better than going thru the carriers at 349.95 right now thats a deal ----so long sense/Htc I had all the fun I could stand
For those who have recently switched from Sense to AOSP (CM10 esp)
can you answer these questions and or post examples
How is the photo quality itself between them?
How is the speed of launching the camera?
How is the speed of the photo taking itself?
How is the close-up photo performance?
Thanks!
I am strict AOSP kinda guy but bought this phone because i loved the hardware. I am now on trickdroid but dreaming of AOSP. I take lots of photos and really leverage the amazing camera on this phone. I can only really switch to AOSP if the camera performance is at least comparable.
Looking forward to the responses, thanks!
All of the items you mentioned are worse in CM. If you ran CM on a previous phone, the camera performance is roughly similar. It is the one and only trade off to dumping Sense, but I feel it's worth it.
I was wondering this..

I'd personally stick with Sense if the camera is an issue for you. The AOSP camera application is no comparison to the Sense camera app. That, and no WiFi Calling are the only reasons I'm on Trickdroid and not CM10.
Sent from my HTC One S using the XDA-Developers app
I agree, this is the main reason I stuck with sense for so long, but I finally switched over to CM.
Max camera resolution is only 5mp, not 8. Camera speed is fast, but not as fast as sense. You can still take pictures during a video, which is nice. But I HATE the AOSP camera. It is ugly, and 1/4 the screen is taken up by a grey box for (apparently) no reason other than to house the shutter button and options. Sense had a great approach by making the camera full screen and only having the buttons without any unnecessary space taken up.
One option would be to try out the MIUI Sense base. Personally I'm not big on MIUI, but it has the sense camera so maybe you'd be interested.
AOSP camera resolution is standard size, so smaller than phone screen, so it couldn't be displayed full screen anyways.

Will never happen.
This is really depressing. I was offered a great deal on these phones and read a little about them and how great the dual core and camera and things were and seen a boatload of development going on here so I jumped on the deal. Now as I am waiting for my One S phones to arrive I am doing a lot of research and all I am reading is major disappointments lol. I thought for sure I would be able to flash AOKP and get rid of sense and all would be fine but then that takes away the best part of this phone. I should have learned my lesson after the Motorola Milestone XT720. What I have learned about phones with locked bootloaders is that the dev's work extra hard and there is always hope on a complete fantastic ROM but the truth of it is it never happens, out of the few years at the XT720 forum there is still not one fully functional, complete ROM, and people are still left hoping. It is really depressing lol. I have a Galaxy Nexus now so I assume my HTC One S with AOKP will be just like the GNex camera and all huh? I suppose after having my GNex I will not like anything to do with Sense and I would hate to flash an AOSP ROM and ruin the camera.

The camera has nothing to do with the locked bootloader. This phone is as good as any top of the line phone available right now and there are many 100% functional ROMs and kernels to choose from. You can flash the Venom ROM and remove nearly all appearance of Sense while keeping the camera. The AOSP camera is perfectly adequate for most needs, it's just not as fast as the stock.
I used to have a ONE XL on AT&T back when they first came out, but I suffered from the delayed push notifications on wifi bug that was apparently pretty prevalent, so I returned it. I was planning to get a Nexus 4, but after seeing all the reviews about poor battery life, mediocre camera, etc., I'm now not so sure about that. One thing I do love is stock android. I despise Sense and other manufacturer skins/bloat. So when I saw that CM10 had a stable release for the One XL, I am considering come back to the One XL. I loved the build quality and LOVED the camera.
Anyways, so my question is this-- how good is CM10 stable on the One XL? Is it as fast and stable as the stock HTC rom? Does everything (bluetooth, gps, wifi, notification LED, etc.) actually work properly?
I see two threads in this forum that give me some concern. One about messed up wifi on CM10, and one about messed up GPS on CM10. Are those threads unusual? Or are wifi and GPS problems on the One X common on CM10?
Also, does anybody remember the delayed push notifications on wifi bug that plagued the One XL when it was first released? Does anybody know if that is completely fixed on CM10?
Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!
Edit: And yes, I posted a similar question in one of the CM10 threads but wasn't getting much feedback, so I decided to start a new thread.
Wifi bug spoils the experience
I also love to use the vanilla Android Experience and have tried CM10 nightlies every now and then with hopes that Wifi bug will be fixed but it hasn't been fixed as of now. The UI is smooth as butter, the camera is good too but, for me, the battery life was very bad with CM10. I'd rather go with CleanROM V till the CM10 wifi bug is fixed.
I felt that the camera UI, Panorama and Burst photo capability of Sense is second to none and that is the one reason I keep moving back to Sense based ROMs every time I find CM10 wifi bug is still there.
WiFi an GPS work on mine with Cm10.
Always has for me, hit an miss for a few.
YMMV

Pictures taken with a Sense based ROM are better (more features, sharpening, imagesense chip, ect). That said, the camera on CM10 does work pretty well anyways. I've been running CM10 for a while now, and I don't have any complaints. Once the new camera in Jellybean 4.2 hits our device it will be much better.
Been running flawless. Not a problem since using the stable CM10 build.

CM10 has been flawless for me. I did have battery issues soon after my flash, but discovered the reason (Spotify burning immense background data), and once I fixed that it's been great. I get two days of use on one charge, with about 2-3 hours of screentime. CPU set to ondemand, min 192, max 920. No performance lag whatsoever.
Wifi has been no problem for me. GPS is only an issue for navigation, but if you start nevigation and then press home to run it in the background, it gives you turn by turn. I also believe that that issue was fixed, but I can't remember where I read that.
As you probably know, the stable build was released a few days ago. I haven't had any crashes or force-closes, or any other issues.
Pictures with sense are better than AOSP because Sense contains HTC's proprietary Imagesense tech, which is undoubtedly fantastic. That said, unless you really need great pictures, CM10 pictures are perfectly good.
Don't use bluetooth myself, can't vouch for it, but the only issues I've seen have been resolved or are obscure. LED notification works perfectly and can be customized lots in CM10, which is useful.
CM10 running sweet for me on a Telstra HTC One XL.
Haven't had any major dramas. 4G is working, wifi is working,and my battery life is a fair bit better than the stock ROM.
Download install and test it for yourself.. every phone will act differently

Bottom-line: Sense is a little bit better, especially for panoramas - but I think the difference is overstated by most people.

The video camera on cm10 records a very high pitched sound you hear on playback. Its an interference between the two mics while recording. Its a feedback.

I found the Bluetooth gimped, at first (pre Nov) it was very bass'y and hollow sounding on my car stereo, using the latest nightlies it's better but still doesn't sound as good as stock, (yes I disable Beats Audio). Also the stock CM camera sucks a **** compared to the sense one.
AAAnd, no project butter support (yet), so it's not as speedy as it should be.

CM10.0 stable was released a while ago on the HTC One S (S4). I've used it for a week nown and thought I'd write a review. Basically, I'm trying to create the thread I wish I'd find before I flashed CM10.0 Stable.
I came from stock 4.0.4 with Sense 4.1, so whenever I make comparisons, I compare it to that.
The Good
- Stability. I've really only encountered a single bug. That's actually better than stock for me. Definately stable enough to use as a daily driver. I am really impressed by this.
- Speed and smoothness. Everything flows really well, making the interface a joy to use.
- Battery life. For me, it has been notably but not dramatically better. I get about 3.5 h screen time (I got about 3 h on stock).
- The interface. Everything is prettier than Sense. I could never go back.
- The settings. The number of settings isn't as large as CM7 (which was a bit insane), but larger than stock. You can tweak more or less everything you care about.
The Bad
- A bug making volume wake unreliable. It's on the tracker: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=6720
This matters a lot for me since my power button is quite unresponsible. But it probably won't matter to most users (although I'd argue that waking the screen up with volume buttons is more comfortable than the power button)
- While it's great that you can cutomize the lock screen shortcuts, you can't move the "unlock". It's always to the right. You can install another lock screen if you want, though. It's a very minor issue.
- The contacts app doesn't seem to work with Facebook, so if you (like me) get all your contacts' pictures from there, you're out of luck. Slightly annoying. Third party apps like Haxsync can fix this though.
- The timer and the alarm are found in two different apps. And the timer app is a bit wierd, coming from stock. But it works.
Other notes
- Camera quality seems good enough. Taking photos is really fast, much like stock, but you can't just hold down the button to do burst mode.
- I don't miss Beats Audio. The DSP Manager, an included app, let's you activate bass boost in three different levels. For me, this gives more than good enough audio quality.
Conclusion
A great rom. Don't stay on stock
If you want me to add anything else, just ask
Us villec2 users are stuck with laggy sense. Really hope that since cm10 on the s4 is now stable, a kind dev would port it out for us. I don't even have 4.0.4 yet!
Awesome review!

Sense roms don't take 8mp widescreen shots. To achieve the widescreen, they just crop the photos to something more like 6mp.
Battery life really depends on how you use your phone but for me its better on CM.
Other than the occasional disconnecting from wifi, everything is fine over here

On Sense, the "8 Mpx" pictures are 3264 x 1840. On CM10, they are 3264 x 2448.
Also, I haven't had any WiFi issues yet on CM10. I did have a few random disconnects on stock Sense, though.

Echo
Do anyone of you have noticed that the phone call receiver hears an echo? I do not hear it myself but anyone I call hears the echo and hang up. I switched to stock Sense ROM and the echo disappears.
The echo comes back on CM10, I might try some more ROMs and see
Hello!!
As far as Facebook sync the best next thing is Haxsync in the market... Sooo worth it and it works great on CM10.
Can someone tell me how much the radio take effect on the battery life?
I'm on stock Rom with radio 1.06es now
Or will a new radio be flashed with during the flashprogress of cm 10?

I can confirm that Haxsync works really well!
I installed cm10 two days after i received the phone. There are a few annoyances, but i get good battery life, can run almost two days.
gsm and 3g works perfect, call quality is good, 3g speeds are decent, in my area i get about 1.1 mb/s down and 300 kb/s up.
System runs smooth and fast as default.
The things that annoy me is the bug where volume rocker doesn't wake the device, mentioned on first post.
Some sounds are too low, Alarm sounds compared to my Desire are lower, unlock/lock sounds as well.
When playing music, all info on lock screen is hidden, so you can't see time, weather or scheduled plans.
When you pause music from the lock screen, after about 3 seconds of silence, it'll play another 2 secs, then go silent again.
But, overall i'm happy, a few kinks which i'm sure they'll fix. It runs really well which is nice.
I liked using this but something didn't feel right (too buggy for my tastes) and prefer sense, but I love cm on my nexus 7 its amazing on nexus devices

I've been using this for a couple days as well.
Battery life seems worse than the available Sense ROMs but not horrible. Although I can't say for sure that its due to the ROM. I did flash a different radio at the same time.
Also the sounds seem a little lower quality. Not sure if this is due to the lack of Beats Audio or what?
"Snapiness" feels about the same as Sense IMO.
I do agree that this is definitely usable as a DD

How would you compare photo quality between CM 10.0 Stable and Sense 4.1 ROMs? I understand that CM 10.0 cannot access the HTC ImageSense chip because it's proprietary but is there a noticeable difference in taking pictures between the two ROMs?

How would you compare photo quality between CM 10.0 Stable and Sense 4.1 ROMs? I understand that CM 10.0 cannot access the HTC ImageSense chip because it's proprietary but is there a noticeable difference in taking pictures between the two ROMs?

Yes big difference IMO to me it was unacceptable and switched back to sense but it is what it is, maybe someday the sense camera can be ported

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

I tried ViperS and I didn't like the look of it... Any other suggestions?
roms
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.
