I just got my Sensation after coming from a Nexus 4 that died, the first thing I notice is how sluggish it is, I am on ICS with Sense 3.6, Maybe its just because I am used to a N4 but this thing feels like walking through mud, I think Sense has a lot to do with it.
If I put a custom rom on it will it help? I had CM10 on my N4 is this available for the Sensation?

Custom ROM can make a lot difference. ICS and Sense 3.6 is slow. If you want to have brilliant sense experience then you should flash Sense based custom ROMs. I am currently using vipers 3.1.2 JB with Sense 4+ and its fantastic. No lags, ultra smooth. Try it and yes CM 10 is available for Sensation, but trust me Sense suits the sensation best.

I hate samsung's touch wiz, it's slow and laggy, even on dual core phones
I am planning to buy a new phone this holidays and I am planning to get HTC this time, I heard Sense 3.5 is good, but i haven't tried one yet.
Thoughts?
On my personal opinion Android without HTC Sense is boring.
Sense 3.5 is just amazing!

Got sense 3.5 with the new Android Revolution HD ROM and it's really nice. I really think HTC has got it working. Still I miss some features like variable icon size and possibillity to alter number of rows and collumn on the home screen. I get that with Launcher Pro though.

Sense 3.5 Tutorial?
I'm currently using Sense 3.5 from Remix 3D and I love it. Does anyone know of a good Sense 3.5 tutorial so I can be sure i'm not missing out on some cool features? Thx!
Both Sense 3.0 and 3.5 are nicer than CM7 or MIUI in my opinion. The problem comes with stability. I had issues with occasional reboots with my stock Desire and now with AceS v3 (and especially v4) I'm getting a lot of complete freezes.
MIUI does exhibit the problem, but it's not as nice as Sense IMHO

Have you been wondering what HTC plan to do with Ice Cream Sandwich on their devices?
Well, wonder no more as one of our internal sources at HTC has managed to lay his hands on their very first internally distributed test build of Google's latest and greatest. Built on Android 4.0.1 (the build is a month old, and it will become 4.0.3 by the time it hits public release), the first test releases are intended for the HTC Sensation / Sensation XE and sport the 3.0x version tag. The usual HTC customisations are present including HTC Sense 3.5, so don't expect any massive visual changes for Ice Cream Sandwich. As you would expect, ICS has been slightly sliced and dice to give the HTC experience - Facelock is present but the new keyboard is replaced by an updated HTC IME etc.
We hope to have some ICS on Sensation screenshots very soon... watch this space!

Why sense 3.5 that it sucks!?!?!?!

How different can the ice cream sandwich be for the users, if it comes with the exact same sense UI as the gingerbread?
An increased build number in the settings? not worth waiting for IMO
I want an untouched Ice cream sandwich
Sense 3,5? That sucks. What will happen with devices that already have 3,5? Do they just keep it?
Give them some time, either w8 2 month for sense 4.0 with Ginger or 2 month for sense 3.5 with Ice creame

I dont understand why HTC would want to ruin what from all ive read is by far the best and most professional version of Android yet by adding bloody sense on top again
all HTC needs to do is add Sense widgets to stock ICS and call it a day.
That would be perfect... but HTC won't...
they better not mess it up and make it lag.
I understand they have to add sense on to it as one of their biggest USPs. I dont really see the point of adding 3.5 though other than getting a phone out running ICS. I certainly wont be flashing anything ICS + Sense 3.5, id rather wait for a pure build like CM9, or wait until/if they sort out sense 4.
Sense 3.5 is really good and way better than Sense 3.0 and probably with ICS it'll get better with hw acceleration and remember the post talks about initial rom, probably public release will have Sense 4.0
HTC and all the others are going to add their gimmick with out a doubt. Why would they not? Thats THEIR calling card afterall.
The question is, can WE remove it? I used TB to freeze Sense on my phone and replaced Sense with ADW EX. Now the question is, can I freeze Sense and let ICS come out to play, or is ICS launcher gone at this point?

I don't think you can count on that. HTC removes stuff from original ICS, and then ads sense into it. So I don't think you will run a stable version of ICS without sense.

That sucks. How much of a chump will I feel for freezing Sense, then adding ADW EX, and then finally having to run an ICS theme? Sheesh.
Well, Im sure that once HTC has released it CM9 wont be far behind for the Sensation. I could live with ADW EX until CM9 comes out.
Matt
Why did anyone think for one second Sense would not be in this release? EVERY HTC device has Sense as it's the selling point. Don't like it, get a different handset - it's a simple solution.
Have to say, though, Android 4 is awesome
Everyone sais ics looks good and stuff and yer most of it does but am I the only one who thinks any vanilla Android launcher looks so boring? And the widgets sucks. I love sense, however I'd like 4.0 just for something new

Honestly, we guys are looking at the bad site of what HTC could do. Who knows? It might be even better than the stock ICS...
Haven't you guys seen the leaked build of ICS with Touchwiz for the Galaxy S2 phones? It's still the same thing as it is currently. Same thing with Sense, it'll be the same exact thing, we won't even get the new battery/wifi/signal icons that come with ICS.
I still wouldn't mind it though, I love Sense, some hate it. And plus with hardware acceleration, hopefully it'd be quicker.

We wont get those icons? -.-'' x2
If they put sense 3,5 in it, and it removes some stuff, then there is no actual point of giving us 4.0
Hey guys I'm on Virtuous Inquisition 4.0 & I really love how smooth it is and its clean feel. Loved it enough to get rid of my gs2 as it makes my sensation so much more functional. But, I'm looking at buying Tmo's HTC one S when it arrives, so I'm wanting a good taste of sense 4.0 to see how I feel about it. What's your favorite sense 4.0 from, and what's the smoothest? I rely on my phone heavily for business, so I don't want something that will fail me, though I know there's always a risk
Looking forward to everyone's opinions, and thank you to all!
It's probably stick to Sense 3.6 ROM's for now if you need your phone to work.
Most of the hardware seems to be working in Sense 4.0 ROM's but I have read (haven't tried for myself) that they're still quite rough around the edges.

HTC has not released Sense 4.0 for the Sensation yet. and probably never will. Sense is garbage to begin with anyways. Use a non sense ROM. The experience is so much better and yoiu get nearly triple battery life. Sense freaking rapes battery.

Stay with Sense 3.6. If you need your phone for business. None of the 4.0 roms are close to ready. They function, but performance across the board is low. There's only so much devs can do, and those roms are not ready to go yet.
Im very Happy with senseissimo but very Bad battery Life :-(

two weeks later, my brother bought htc rhyme which is the same specification as our desire s except the internal memory which is 4GB,but every time i use it make me feel like i want to throw my desire s in the trash ,it is so match faster than ours my question is why? :'( and when we will upgrade to sense 3.6 is it will be fast too?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA
No... in a general sense, the more recent the version the more eye candy HTC will put in (and unless your phone specs go up, the slower the phone will run)...
Sense is known to be quite resource intensive +/- laggy. The Rhyme is virtually the same phone with bigger NAND memory + non-removable battery, all the specs should be the same. It just 'feels' faster because its new and the system isn't clogged up with stuff yet.
The best way to get fastest rom is to go for a custom rom, which strip out all the bloatware (sense 3.5 / sensation xl / runnymead based to name plenty)... Most custom roms seem tio support Rosie smooth or ultra smooth which should bring up performance a bit.
or AOSP / CM7 if you're lucky enough to not have the camera lag issue... and say bye to sense forever!

Sense 3.5 is certainly faster than standard Sense 3.0.
What ROM is your Desire S running? I'm guessing that you're still on stock and the OTA upgraded version 3.0 sense? You'll probably find that your own device would run faster if you were to perform a full factory reset and set it up a new.
You probably need to unlock your phone and try some the custom ROMs (see INDEX thread in my sig) and then you'll be able to give him phone envy! Try the ROM I'm on, see my sig.....

HTC optimized Sense 3.5 to be slightly faster. Particularily the lock screen, its much smoother.
You can install a custom ROM on your phone, but if you don't want to lose warranty, you can just wait a few more weeks for the official OTA ICS update w/ Sense 3.6.
This is meant to be even faster than Sense 3.5 + GB.

which one do u guys prefer and why?
me i stick with SENSE because
when mms is received data auto turns on and turns off when done.

I use sense, for me is fast, stable, battery friendly and i have all the utility from an HTC device, also the camera is awsome, the autofucos and the 1080p video without glitches...
No reboots at all, no problems, full funcionality...

Sense may be more stable but the vanilla experience of android is so much better.
i prefer sense with all utilities of HTC device.
I prefer Sense. Sense looks somewhat professional whereas CM Roms don't. You'll find CM on almost every devices, but will find Sense on ONLY HTC devices.
Sense is only thing that makes difference than Other.

signed :good:
I have tried various roms but so far i must say that i prefer CM over sense (because of all of the modifications you can do)
I prefer sense (ARHD to be specific) mainly because you don't see a "working/ not working" list because everything just works
Sense is cooler but I'd rather have the latest updates than sense if HTC is going to bullsht their way to bankruptcy
