For HTC Sensation T-Mobile US users

Just asking for opinion guys. Which do you think is better ARHD 3.6.3/4.1.4 Rom or Insertcoin 3.3.9?
Why did u choose that Rom over the other.

do i need to dl a radio for coredroid?? im new to the sensation, i just came from the g2x and we didnt hav radios lol i just dont wanna deal with it really i mean there simple to install but i jus dont like the extra work (laziness) .. and also is the 5.0.0.8 cwm ext 4 compatible?

ARHD
You have picked the two I like the best. ARHD 3.6.3 is the one I use so that I can change the lock ring on since it is sense 3.0. It is very stable, and I have not had any problems with it.

I have not changed my radio at all.
And you should get CWM 5.0.2.0, it's the latest.

Optimus to sensation

Hi all in sensation.....
I have just bought new HTC sensation over my LG optimus one...just over excited about receiving
Tell me some good and worse thing about it...also about rooting ,best Rom and all.....
I just found some links by searching but the original user experience review can only given by a daily user tell me some....

The good: POWER!
The bad: Battery life.
ROMs: there are many good ones. Personally I use Insert Coin because it comes with extras out of the box. OpenSensation has improved a LOT. There is a great tutorial for SOff Root Recovery etc. Read it and follow it carefully, you won't have problems.

Welcome aboard mate! Well the good things is performance speed its really blazing fast! Good camera and the bad stuff are battery life is not the best but gets through the day
I use myself virtuous inquisition rom its a aosp android 4.0.3 rom and it's great I like sense as well but was kind of bored lol
Warning : unlock bootloader via revolutionary not HTC because if you'd ever have to return the device for warranty purpose they will find out you have S-off...

Thank you guys for saying that warning....
did u try
MIUI
cyanogenmod 7.2 .?
Is there a development going for cyanogenmod 9.0.?

I switched from a optimus t(p 509, same thing essentially)
The while process is slightly different, but more work involved. I was running iridium vanilla for a while on optimus, then mik's cm 7.1, then since January the cm nightlies.
Now I'm running virtuous inquisition with faux's kernel (had Sebastianfm's one, but testing this one). It's so far the best aosp hybrid, sense-less

My first Android phone was the optimus one. It has the best battery life IMHO...
On the sensation>>
Good: Development support, Screen, Speed, hardware design.
Bad: terrible battery life! I mean really bad. stock battery can only last me 4 hours on heavy usage. And low speaker volume.
Roms and Kernels: I'm using ARHD now, stable. Best kernel is Bricked and faux.
Upgrade to ICS if you haven't already. ICS made my phone fly.
If you have the money, buy some bigger capacity aftermarket battery like from Anker. The stock HTC battery ia dork

Yes. 4EXT touch recovery is now the standard recovery for ICS roms. Works very good.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA

If you prefer AOSP over Sense, then OpenSensations build of CM9 is daily driver material. If you prefer Sense, Sense-O-Matic allows you to choose what parts of sense you install right in the ROM installation in recovery. Both are great. I go between them when I feel like switching the look and feel of the phone. Also, use and get used to 4EXT Recovery. There is a controller app for the recovery in the market and is totally worth the 2 or 3 bucks it cost. Hope all this helps. I just got my sensation about a month ago. Came over from a G2X and couldn't be more pleased.

Yes. There are add-ons for non XE ROMs. You can also get Beats by flashing an XE ROM on your Sensation (you will need SuperCid though)

just rooted and S-off, wich ROM.... ?

I just rooted my Sensation XE and got it S-off. :victory:
Installed Rom Manager and Titanium backup (backed-up everything).
Now i don't know wich Rom i would use....there are so many...
I want it to be stable, i use Go Launcher instead of Sense because Sense had the ennoying problem it was closing to free memory when i was using a load of memory. In Go Launcher i can select it to remain always open.
I would like a stable ROM wich keeps camera, bluetooth etc....all working without problems.
In addition of this question i would like to know if i can just remove Sense true titanium backup from my phone without problems? (on stock rom or other ROM ? )
I hope i put this thread in the right section 'cos i'm not used to using this forum yet
Thanks in advance for every reply :good:

You should seriously try Virtuous Inquisition very fast and stable. It's running Android ICS. But I don't know if you installed the required firmware. If not, do so.
Oh, and it's an AOSP Rom and it's senseless. Everything works fine.

Were can i find that rom and info about the requierd firmware ?

You can find the required firmware specs on the developers site of each Rom. I highly suggest trying out SEVERAL roms and see which one fits you the best. I'm using lightening Rom now.its brand new sense 4 and is fast and smooth! I think you would like it! No problems with it. But see its all a matter of personal taste . So do yourself a favor and try out SEVERAL! Have fun and happy flashing

In my opinion Android Revolution HD us the best rom I tryed, Mike does not use portings to ensure maximum stability and speeds... It comes with sense 3.6 bit on the thread he provides a script to completely remove HTC Sense...
It has a completely stock look... It's just optimized and updated.

What are you all retarded ?!?!?!? You gotta go aosp!!!! CM9 is the best choice only retards and crackheads like sense overlay (all offense) lol

I must say that on factory ROM i was using Go Launcher because Sense got closed sometimes when I was using many RAM. Reloading Sense always took a bit of time wich I found annoying. The downside of using go launcher was the loss of the HTC widgets... Go contacts wasn't so good in my opinion. In my current ROM Sense didn't close once so for me it's perfect. It looks very beautiful and it's faster than ever before.

ARHD is a good start, very stable and close to stock ROM.

Elegancia also good.

The very first Rom I flashed was virtuous inquisition. I recommend it for first timers. It's not quite stock but you will have zero problems with it and one heck of a good battery life. It's a no fuss everything working except hdmi out. You won't have to worry about up dates. It's rock solid .its a sense-less Rom. It's a great place to start. Then when you get braver you can experiment with different roms. I think you will like it.

Hmmm
make sure that when you are going from one rom that works to another that you've never tried that you backup your current state...
Nothing worst than going through all the trouble of making your phone all nice and quick and then switch to another rom and find you've lost your settings and what not if you want to go back.

Hi I suggest you try out SEVERAL different roms , then make your OWN choice because roms are subjective and its all a matter of personal tastes and opinions. What I like, you might not like at all! Please don't sell yourself short! Experience several for yourself and see which meets Your needs! That said, I personally enjoy viper. Ľoads of customization ! But if you don't try out SEVERAL, your really going to miss out. So please , do yourself a favor and experience the difference in the roms. This is the fun part ! Then you can draw your own conclusion! You will enjoy the experimentation! Then you will truly find what meets your needs! If you just go by opinion without experimenting for yourself you Are truly missing out! So do your nandroid backup and enjoy finding the right Rom for you that meets your needs !

Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

I highly suggest that you S-OFF your device. It will save some headache. A few ROMs such as ARHD and ViperS can be flashed on S-ON device without any issue. But if you want to try other ROMs and kernels, S-ON device could stuck in boot loops even with smartflash enabled. If you S-OFF, flashing ROM is just like changing underwear!

Best of all
The first ROM I flashed was Virtuous ROM: Inquisition and it was perfect. till I got kind of bored.
I then moved over to ViperS witch is pretty good. But a but off on battery life... it could be me cause of all the things I've been tweaking.
My suggestion would be to head here (http://www.htcsensationroms.com/) and see all the roms for sensation.
