After flashing several 3.0 and 3.5 ROMS I have to say the Virtuous ROM is very stable. I've had no problems, lags or FCs.
I have not tried any ICS ROMS so can't comment on their stability.

I have three nandroids of Roms that I use, all of which are pretty good:
Virtuous Sensation - has most Sense
HyperNonSense - has a little Sense
RevertedAOSP - zero Sense, stock Android
My daily driver is RevertedAOSP because it is fast, solid, and with a few tweaks does everything I need it to do.

Good stuff.
Thanks guys

He's asking for ICS not gingerbread!
Anyways, I'm using webstar1's Ultimite ROM. Very smooth when compared to the other sense based roms. pretty much is AOSP, except for the Dialler/Contacts and camera apps. would recommend, very stable, hadn't had one FC yet. :]
EDIT: LOL sorry I misread the OP. -.- oh well!

Android Revolution HD (currently im using the 3.6.8 version see my signature) is good. It's stable and it's just like the stock ROM only more tweaked and overclocked to 1.5GHz. Despite that all the battery life is longer than the stock ROM itself while performance improves, so I would recommend you this ROM.
Must say that I haven't tried other ROMS yet (only the ARHD ICS ROM once, but after 30 minutes playing around I was bored so put it back to 2.3 with nandroid backup)

I just flashed Virtuous ICS 1.3.0 today and so far, while certainly beta, looks really stable! Unless something creeps out of the corners, looks like this will be my new daily driver for a while.

I haven't tried an AOSP yet. Thanks for the recommendation. 100% trying that right now !

Well, have flashed twice daily, since I owned the Sensation a couple weeks back, tried every rom in the android forum, a couple of roms i feel are rock solid stable, not force closing once, and a nice amount of battery, they are LeeDroids rom and CoreDroid rom, thats my opinion only, and for you just keep flashing, I also too am not a fan (yet) of ICS roms....... what am I using now???? see my signature

[Q]Difference between HyperNoSense and HyperSensation

As the title applies, I'm very interested in these minimalist roms however, for the life of me I can't tell the difference... They seems to be exact the same...
Currently using HyperNoSense 3.0, noticed bad performance on my wifi signal and data, another user also reports this, he switched to HyperSensation version and the problem is fixed.

HyperNonSense is base on sense framework but the dev wipe all the sense... HyperSensation is base on CM9 or AOKP
Both are stripped down roms aim for speed... Youll notice that the zip file is smaller in size...

thanks for the reply, I'm a complete noob in this.
Is there any significant difference between the two (or the difference between Sense and CM09/AKOP)?

Thanks!!!

Youre welcome to both
I have not use AOKP or CM9 yet so im not qualified to say much about it... I think its about the same... I think AOKP or CM9 is much of a bare android, no htc junks.. correct me if im wrong...
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk

I think a bit of Sense framework is still there just incase we don't run into the same problems as AOSP roms (audio routing, HD playback), just all sense related items wiped and replaced with AOSP items.

Both AOKP and CM9 have theme support, but AOKP has more tweaks. I personally prefer AOKP

[Q] What is the best rom,kernel, or mod for excellent battery life?

I'm running EnergyROM right now, and honestly I'm not really impressed with the battery life. Looking for something that I can actually see improvement or better battery life.
Thanks :cyclops:

I really like the battery life on Cm9 and on trickdroid... give them a shot
I loved energy at first on my amaze 4g but he started tweaking it so the standby doesn't use hardly any battery... and ever since I wasn't a fan of his rom over on that phone... haven't tried it on the one s yet.. prolly won't

I'm using TrickDroid 6.1 with Virtuous Kernel. Been averaging 22-26 hours with simple usage.

I'm using trickdroid v5.1 (eu not t-mob) and it's performing good, if you like the stock sense look try it

CM9 and AOKP by far have had better battery life than any of the Sense roms.

Do not agree, AOSP ROMs are still full of bugs, so the devs could not concentrate on performance so much.
But if the bugs are solved I am sure sou can get a good battery life with them as well.
Without making my ROM good, trickdroid with virtuous kernel v06 is brilliant

I've used both AOSP and sense based roms (Trickdroid, Energy, etc.) and really haven't noticed too much of a difference in battery life using stock the kernel. AOSP roms are quicker than the Sense-based roms, however with Sense removed... it's just as quick.
If you throw a custom kernel on the sense-based roms, they easily win out. As Torxx said, AOSP roms are still in alpha and the devs are still working on getting a stable release. Once they get the bugs worked out... I'm sure the AOSP roms will again be just as good, if not better.

Thanks guys for your suggestions.
I'm looking more for Roms with nearly everything working so, aosp and cm are a no go for me right now.
I suppose I'll give the trickdroid with the virtuous kernel a shot.
As for miui, I will also but I'm not a BIG fan of miui.
The sense stock sense is working for me though.
I just don't like the "no exteneded power button menu" on trickdroid like EnergyROM has. I like to take screenshots just by holding the power button and pressing it.

If you flash TrickDroid, everything will be like in the stock rom, you can choose in the tweak package which mods you want to use

Was going to say the same. the latest CM9 build i tried was actually quite good.. but the camera and all the little bugs (nothing too major, just annoyances really) are what drive me back to a sense base.... The camera on any AOSP based rom is DISMAL compared to what we get with sense. Even the picture quality is not the same. I honestly couldn't BELIEVE how much a difference the software made!!
I have tried all the Sense roms and every update that comes out, well... cause i have a problem, BUT i can say, that at least for me (in the US on Tmobile) the TrickDroid rom is hands down the best IMO. I can actually clock my cpu DOWN and it still flies, i get RIDICULOUS battery life (day and a half with moderate use).
I would say give that a shot OP but DEFINITELY flash the tweaks package!!! Pretty awesome options in there!!

First I was on trickdroid and yes I had a better battery life than stock! But I like to test roms so now I'm on Paranoid Android based on CM9 and the battery life is good to me (2 days with a "normal use" but that means nothing) and the tablet mode is amazing!

What are the best kernels ?

Lol one bug with cm9 and that is sometimes video playback is scrambled. Maybe u should try it before discouraging others from using it

Axiom S 1.5 is pretty awesome especially if you like using phone to listen to music. Volume is LOUD and sound is clear with audio tweak options. Battery life excellent plus you get an ICS color theme.

Most stable ROM in your opinion?

tl;dr Most stable ROM in your opinion?
There are a variety of ROMS for our HTC Sensations. Some solid builds, others experimental. I tried a CM10 ROM earlier, for the first time and thought it was quite amazing. Project Butter is SO noticeable. I fell in love with it pretty quickly, but the battery life and stability are a real turn off, but of course without official source code we make due, right?
In your experience, what is the most stable ROM you have tried? I know each dev works hard, but we all know some ROMs are simply better than others for difference reasons, both subjective and objective. For me, the most stable ROM is ARHD. No matter what else I try I always find myself coming back to it because it works the best of all the ROMs I've tried.

I think Android Revolution HD is the most stable and it's the best ROM battery wise i've ever tried too.

Stability wise and virtually bug free I would have to say elegancia with sense 3.6

Its different for everyone ..
Its like if you're asking what kind of cars do you like ? You gotta try them until you find one that suits you.. and also you could have done a research before opening a new thread..
Sent From My Sexy Sensation Running Aokp.

I would recommend MIUI, from miuiandroid.com
It's very different to stock, however, but that's what I love about it

Best battery life I've ever had was with virtuous inquisition....
Most stable, well that's a hard call because I've used many stable roms. I cannot really say which was more stable than the other because I've never really had too much trouble with stability.... Several have proven to be very stable....its different opinions for everyone and I can't really choose one in particular...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Most of our great chefs roms are stable, especially if out of beta!

I would recommend either Android Revolution HD or ViperS if you want Sense 4.1. Both I have found to be stable and have very good battery life.

ARHD with faux kernel 009b4

+1 for VI
and also HyperNonSense

[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

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!
sent from HTC sensation, soff, 3.33 firmware, viper Rom, sense 4.1, mugen battery. please press thanks if I helped in anyway.

I've been between hypernonsense and miui...love the jellybean roms but it hard for me to get over no flashplayer support

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.
