both roms are working fine:good:
test both of them and see what suits best for you
if you are worrying about bugs go to the 1st and 2nd post of its thread and see what bugs they are having already(if they have)

ViperS are tweak-centric ROM which suits people who likes to personalize their phone. Inspiration are mostly basic Sense 4.1 ROM but with better performance due to less bloat and updated android parts.

Inspiration is great...running fast as help vs GROOG kernel...
BTW there something could be improved and Tweaks from Team Venom on this base will be the best thing...

Very much liking ivicasks Rom, vipers was good and I liked the customisation but inspiration is fast and virtually lag free, I'm not missing any of the customisations but I have flashed the extended quick settings as I used them a lot.

Just a head's up, guys. ROM comparison threads are not allowed on XDA.
The correct answer to which is better is to try both of them and see which is better FOR YOU. There is no universal 'better'. It all depends on your personal usage. That's the ONLY way to determine what ROM is your best option.

Just You, our experience is good but, just an idea for u... U can't use it like anybody...
What i can just say, is that Inspiration is better without Bricked Kernel... Sebs or Sultan i test with.. Its not really the same ROM i can say now...
It no drain battery, just after first start.. After that, with battery charged u can use it for a day with stock battery. (Yes mine is stock)

AOSP, CM9, AOKP When they will be perfect?

What do you think? Right now I am using ARHD + AOSP Script and I am really happy but from long time I want to try an AOSP rom. For now the thing that is holding me back that they have some known bugs and probably more unkown or too little too be mentioned but annoying. I am waiting for a long time but I am still not convinced that these roms are perfect and I want bugless rom and for now ARHD is giving me this. What do you when AOSP will be flawless will it happen?
Try the latest AOKP (b35). I've been using it for over 24 hours and haven't found any bugs

AOKP is based on OpenSensation so whatever bugs that has, AOKP has.
I don't think we'll fond a stable aosp build for a while. Bluetooth, sound drivers and other miscellaneous drivers are all hacked up drivers. I'd stick with something that is based on Sense with the aosp framework for stability and performance.
That's me though

Agreed.
Build 35 is the best Aosp Rom so far for Sensation. Zero bugs, and the Theme Chooser is a welcome addition.

Yes sense is stable...but aosp or aokp perform just as good or better then sense. Hyperaokp I dont use Bluetooth or GPS so I rarely get bugs.
Benefit of sense? Doesnt overheat quickly,
Battery life as well
AOSP still hasnt figured out the way htc handles the 2 cores, where one core is used until 2nd needed.
AOSP kernels have progressed to as where it uses a single core when the screen is off, but both cores are on wwhen screen is on, resulting in lots of heat and short battery life

Which is the best Sense 4 ROM?

Well title says it all. The best for you and why? I'm about to flash one but i'm not sure which of them... Thank you
For me it is viper because of the tweaks and the battery life I was able to get with it.

+1 for ViperS. :angel:

Again with the ROM comparisons, how many times do people have to be told - dont do it, it can be rude and offensive to chefs!
What might be best for someone might not be best for someone else, the only way to find out is to try.
ViperS for me so far, I found the overclocked 1.4.1 kernel made it even smoother!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
All of them! Try some and report back...
ViperS for me too!
Even underclocked my SensationXE to 1,18 GHz, normal Sensation frequency. Rom is still very smooth, reacts very well and the battery life is great!
Obviouslly ViperSs 1.0.1
GO FOR IT....Everything's working Butter smooth, No any issue...

I just flashed Viper for my first ROM. I am very pleased with it, but I am still waiting for the battery to settle down a little. Burning a little quicker than stock right now, but things should get better.

Best ROM for my sister?

Hi guys
I'm from the HTC EVO 3D section of the forum and I know this question is usually frowned upon but recently my sister's phone (Sensation XE) has become laggy as hell and very buggy. She's come from an iphone and is not used to this kinda stuff and has no idea about rooting/custom roms, etc. So I have offered to borrow her phone for a day or two and root it/put on a custom ROM for her which will hopefully sort out these problems and give credence to my claim that Android is better than iOS.
The reason I'm asking this question is because I just don't have the time to test out different ROMS. I need to root it and put one on as soon as pos and then give the phone back to her. (She doesn't live with me so I can't be changing ROMS all the time for her, and she needs her phone urgently)
What I am looking for is recommendations on a very fast and stable ROM with good battery life? Preferably Sense 4.0 but if that is too buggy/battery hog, then I'm fine with Sense 3.6. Just need it to be snappy and as stable as possible because I won't be around much to tweak it and sort out loadza problems if they arise in the future.
Thanks in advanced for your help.
Sense 4.0 looks good but it's not very good with battery (i get max 7-8 hours from it). So i'd recommend a Sense 3.6 ROM.
My favourite and the most stable one i know is ARHD

If you want a stable and really fast room either use a de-sensed ROM or use insert coin

Hi there, It's really best to have your sister try out SEVERAL different roms then make a choice.we have so many great roms to choose from and is really a matter of personal taste as to which one to use .do her a favor and let her experience different ones and choose what she liked best ! I'm running viper right now and I love the customization options, but it's always best to try out SEVERAL then have her choose. Hope this helps. Best wishes to you both I do hope you take this advice. It's really best to form your own personal opinion when it comes to roms.

Vipers 1.1.0 is the best sense 4.0 rom out there.It has great tweaks and it is stable.your sis may not like cm9 or aokp.Go for viper
Viper or a few other sense 4 roms are a good choice...
Cheers for the help guys.. Will be sure to check those roms out.
@ realsis - Cheers for the suggestion, and I know what you mean, but in this case it is extremely unlikely to happen. She doesn't have the time or desire in testing out loadza different roms. This is probably why the iphone is better for most people because you're given a fast and simple OS, and everything just works and is super smooth. Most people are happy with that and rightly so. Personally I'll spend ages looking for the "perfect" rom, but the reality is that most people just don't care.
No pun intended but also lack the experience in flashing rom's and kernel I would suggest a rooted stock Rom for now and let her play around with so she will get used to it and then later on go a little more advanced and then let her take it out for spin to see how she likes it oh keep in mind even on a rooted stock Rom there's no lag like it is on a stock Rom that isn't rooted and for the kernel check out this one for the kernel and there's mod that go's with it as well im running it now and its awesome here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432211

The fastest, smoothest ROM is Mike 1887's Android Revolution HD's. She can also have Beats Audio with the ROM.
TouchCream is the best, fastest and smoothest of them all! Just click on the banner in my signature
Word of warning: viperS is a great sense 4 ROM, its wonderful, but install a different kernel. The bricked kernel that comes with the ROM causes it to lag. The viper thread is filled with people suffering lag on it. I suggest seb's (link in Sig) or faux123's. Faux's forces both cpu's online so it may be a bit worse for battery, but I can't make that call, others seem to do well with it.
If you still have doubts, ARHD sense 3.6 will give the best stock appearance without the lag.

May have to go for that one then. Like I said, she has no interest in swapping around and flashing ROMS, so it'll very much likely be a one time job with no testing of others.
As it is your sisters phone and you don't want to constantly be messing with it and her having issues with it. I'd recommend Android Revolution HD. It is the closest thing you can get to the stock ROM. It's fast and smooth.

My sister's phone is stock ICS and the HBOOT is 1.29.0000... the guides I've read seem to be for earlier HBOOTs
Is there a way to get a custom ROM on the 1.29.0000 version?
Thanks.

Guides that's say 1.27 HBoot are in fact for 1.2x hboots... So 1.29 still comes under 1.2x right?

[POLL] Which ROM are you using?

Seeing that there are many options to choose from, I guess than a poll may help us decide. Which ROM are you using now. Are you happy with it and would you suggest it to others?
i'm using the stock one as it shows in my signature.i'm very happy with it
there is no need to suggest it to every one else because everybody has seen it:silly:

I am using bruces CM10 ROM. Working great!
I'm on DragunKorr's Paranoid Android 2.11.
Buttery as hell and i love the hybrid modes. It's not 100% working yet, but the missing elements are so minor that they don't affect me for how I use my phone.
If I weren't using this, I'd be on Bruce's CM10. He really set the standard there with that one and it's only cos I love the hybrid modes that I'm not using it.
Both ROMs have breathed new life into my phone - finally, the full power of the sensation has been realised!!!
pyromod CM9 here, pretty stable and fast. Good battery life too. I would definitely suggest it.
On Bruce's cmx and enjoying it very much very pleased that the CRT animations are fully functioning and the stock SMS app had pop ups now like hand cent does ^^ once they manage to get the front facing camera functioning I will never leave it I have also used berserk mode on by memnoc which I thought was very nice but the fact that I couldn't use wii remotes through Bluetooth on my emulators pushed me to full aosp not too sure where I am going with this aside from Bruce's cmX is highly recommended by me :thumbup: front facing camera and usbotg is all we need now
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
What about battery life, how is it?
I've tried several different roms. Virtuous Inquisition is good but it was giving me wrong battery reading, kept jumping up and down and I couldn't tell how much battery I had. CM9 is nice but the front facing camera doesn't work (at least on the versions I've tried). CM10 Jelly Bean by Bruce is great but it's unfinished, a couple of things are not working (front facing camera for 1).
I'm on ViperS 1.2.1 right now and I LOVE it. The rom is pretty fast and stable. I enjoy the tweaks the devs have put on it a lot. Battery life is pretty decent. I got around 18 hours on average use.
I think if you want speed and smoothness, go for the CM or AOSP builds, they beat all other in that department. I personally enjoy Sense 4 so I go with Viper S.
I used HyperNonSense for 5 months and just flashed Android Revolution HD an hour ago, no reason other than trying new rom
you have not forgotten anything? smartdroid daemon sense 4? I do not see
Used OpenSensation for some time and was very satisfied except that many icons and fonts are just too small for me. Switched to Anroid Revolution HD 6.7.2 and I love it.
Battery life is just average I think. Since I disabled Wifi, I can live with it.

Hi there, I'm using Viper Rom. I am happy with it! The update had made it much better I do have some weird issues sometimes like Bluetooth turning on by itself but for me that's about the only negative issue I'm experiencing. I do like the customization and really like sense 4.1. I would like to see better battery life from the Rom.but I'm now using sebastian kernel with mod and a slight under volt plus a new mugen battery and I've actually managed to stay on 100% for three hours! Thank God! So hopefully the battery issue is solved. But all in all for the people who like sense roms, yes I would recommend viper. Hope this information helps some how and I wish you the best!

I use Viper 1.3.0
Major categories of custom ROM according to me are -
Sense based - sense 4.0 based or
Sense 3.6 based
sense 4 based
Eg viper, insertcoin, ordroid etc
Sense 3.6 based -
Eg arhd, elegancia, etc
IPhone look - MIUI
Samsung look - cyanogen mod
Plain android - AOKP/AOSP Based
I have very less experience on these. I prefer sense based.

It really depends on how you use your phone, what you want, etc...
If you're a tmobile user and need wifi calling then the jellybean ROMs are a bad choice for instance..
In short you really can't ask what's the best ROM and get a useful answer without telling people what you need and expect..
