Hi everyone,
with all the recently new ROMS like batista ics foxhound and resurrection pro v1.1, along with cyanomogen and other resurrection remix roms, for you, which one is the best so far for you guys?
I appreciate your thoughts
Since a month im testing resurrection remix rom and i must admit its pretty much bug-free. the only issue i've noticed was music player sometimes to crash if u "click" a lot in it. aside that, nothing more, its fast, stable, nice looking, smooth with good performance. battery is great. if u use it just for texting and calling it can last 3 days!
i tried more than 4 roms before using hydrogenics
i must admit it works great
try default kernel for few days and switch to neak also try syiah
use which ever kernel u like

hey, i have been running an ics rom for a while. Its been super laggy and i havnt had time to flash a new one. My reason for making this post is to ask whether or not the ics roms are stable and fast, or should i just use cm7 if im looking for a fast rom with great features. thankyou in advance.
There are different builds of ICS, like nightly and AOKP. You just gotta try and the different ones and see which ones you like best. Changing ROMs is all about preferences and what you feel comfortable with.

After using Slim for the past few months, I would not go back to a non-ICS ROM (this ROM will probably influence my choice of the next phone I buy, i.e. I will make sure it's available on that device).
While I agree the SlimICS is very quick and runs fairly smoothly, it does lack in other departments. In order to have a slimmer and smother build they had to cut certain things. The main thing I noticed is not all languages are supported.
SlimICS has been the best experience of the ICS roms, or any rom for me. It's very fast, stable, and feature packed. I've had zero problems through the two different builds I've been using for the last week. I highly recommend it.

Thanks guys. I'm currently running cm7 again. But it sounds like I should definitely try the slim rom.

SlimICS is definitely worth the time investment to get it installed and running. I came from Cognition 4.5.x and my phone is running better than it ever has using any previous ROM I've tried (and I tried a lot of them!). Granted, my IMEI paid the ultimate price for using all those different ROMs (EFS folder wiped/corrupted), but I'll have that sorted out soon enough with any luck.
Can't say enough about Slim though, granted I didn't care for the Lightening launcher that's included. I am using the standard ICS launcher, which works fine and is plenty fast for me.
SlimICS or Nostalgia (SlimICS based) - runs faster than S3.
But I'm rooting my S3. So boajuicing comes...
Give AOKP a shot. I'm running it and love it.

I find that the CM9 ROM I use isn't always the fastest but the features pretty much balance it out when compared with Gingerbread.
ICS is fast and sleek, but I'll choose GB KK4 for the meantime until they fix the unsuccessful encryption bug on ICS. Still waiting though :silly:
I've never liked GB but then again, I didn't give it that much of a chance. I was extremely satisfied with di11igaf's Rom [2.2.1] on my Captivate, flashed to stock GB, then flashed immediately back.
Currently running TiramiSlim RC 2.0 [Based on SlimICS 3.9] after being somewhat of a crazy flash-aholic as far as ICS Roms are concerned. It is super-fast & extremely smooth.

Hi guys I thought I'd share my rom experience and ask for general opinions on HTC sensation roms.
I have tried the following:
DarkForest sense 3.6 - Solid rom but not as smooth ARHD.
ARHD 6.8.0 - My current rom - I experience the best gaming performance on this. As far as I can see this is a better and more reliable version of stock. It also has the unique sense stuff - (slow motion camera, useful save SD space interface and the best battery life ect)
JBMIUIv4.1 - This is a very interesting rom that felt really fast and very iOS like. However it lacks an app draw which makes restoring apps from titanium backup a problem.
CM10 - Best rom with Jelly Bean. Awesome rom with a fast buttery interface. However the Trebuchet launcher begins to lag after a while, though swapping to Apex did improve this. Though it was faster than ARHD, games lagged more for some reason - perhaps it is not fully optimised for the sensation.
Ordroid - This was my first sense 4 rom. Also it is the most smooth sense rom I have ever tried. I loved this but unfortunately it is no longer supported so I am forced to move on.
Finally we have ViperS 1.3.5 This is certainly the most advanced of all the roms I have tried and brings a full sense 4 experience to the sensation. However before the sense 4.1 update it was almost unusable with more than 50 or so apps installed. The home screen lagged a lot. Now with the sense 4.1 update this has certainly improved and it is less laggy. I am unable to understand how it is still less responsive than Ordroid Even though Ordroid is supposedly from a less responsive version of sense. Maybe when the jelly bean update is released this will finally change.
So I now ask you guys: Which Sensation rom is your favorite and why? Also does anyone know why ARHD provides better gaming performance than any other rom?
i started from arhd 6.7.2, as it was the easiest custom rom to flash, closest to stock.
then i moved to viperS, 1.0.1 to 1.3.5. sense 4.1 definitely feels smoother, and i had no issue with 1.3.5.
after s-off, I tried paranoid android, it was cool but still experimental at that time, so I settled with hypernonsense and happy with it.
soon after, cyanogenmod 10 fixed the front camera bug, so I tried it (v4.1.2). i love the buttery smooth animations, replaced trebuchet with nova launcher. would have keep on using it as it was stable. alas the mms function is broken in my case.
so i finally return to using hypernonsense 3.5, and so far it has been great! the only thing i miss is theme customization (cyanogenmod theme spoiled me a bit), but the black & white looks good anyway.
i'm not a gamer, so i cant compare gaming performance between those roms. my highest antutu benchmark score is 8060, using vipers 1.3.5 and faux kernel with vsync disabled. on cm10, highest antutu score is around 5500.

Nova Launcher is slightly faster IMO, used both alot.
Even I've switched between roms.. but presently due to some constraints the flashoholic thingy is away.
I'm presently on viper s 1.3.5
Jb miui s89: wonderfully smooth... Butter
(And titanium backup even works without app drawer, as the op says it doesn't)
But Jb has some bugs surely...
Elegance:
1. Pegasus seemed cool with blue kinda stock but after installation the blue color didn't seem so awesome.
N I experienced random restarts after titanium backup restores(I don't know which app particularly created the issue)
2. Blitz: now that would be the best stock 3.6 sense rom I've tried.
I simply loved the camera app in it.
Though it looks almost similar to stock but the color contrasts, vibrancy in color, the dof, the macro photography capturing capability... Everything was superb.
I used it for quite a long time.
(The reason I'm not using it now... I dropped my phone from a height of 15 frets. And the screen started behaving erratically. Response faded, things I didn't click started getting activated.
Firstly I thought it's surely a hardware issue since I dropped the phone, but just random thought, I decided to restore the nandroid of viper s, and it worked like a charm.
I know it seems awkward to say hardware/screen issues vanishing by replacing rom, but that's what happened)
Hyper nonsense:a good smooth rom with minimalistic app but good library supports.
I've even tried other roms, but just mentioned a few.
Now I'm quite bored of the cm 9/10 look(trebuchet, apex n nova)
And even to an extent sense. Hoping some visual change in android soon.

Yeah, also Bruce's rom, got me laughing here, too, re: "hardly" typo, should be "hard" or "heartily".
@OP: you could improve your benches when using a different governor, e.g. "lagfree" instead of "badass" etc.
InsertCoin Evolution is a good rom too

Try this one >>>> Smartdroid Berserk 2.3
highly recommended :good:
I tried a few..
ARHD First ROM i flashed. WAS Great after 3.33 was released, things started to act up weird.. I got random reboots, the whole ROM was also laggy in the end. I gave up on it. Was a suberb ROM pre 3.33 release and super stable. This Rom also gave me best batterylife.
CM9 (stable) gave me horrid batterylife. I loved CyanogenRom´s back in the Nexus One / Gingerbread days but since then i have found them not that good..Until i got..
CM10 by Bruce2728.. which i am currently running. Gives me good batterylife, however some wakelocks is still there, but not that big a threat to my battery. Rom is Beta but works great to me on most parts.
Ordroid Best ROM i tried after ARHD. Stable, good batterylife. Good allrounder. How it is now, i dunno. I used it while it was still developed.
JBMIUIv4.1 Nice looking, but really not my thing. i prefer my ROM simple, hasslefree and with minimal 3rd party features. Something this has plenty off.
Tried Virtous as well long ago, but don´t remember how it was.
To me, best Rom right now is Bruce´s CM10.
CM 10
Bruce's CM10 ROM is the best sensation ROM for me. It utilises Jellybean, is so smooth and is near perfect in my opinion. Any small issues are being dealt with, with regular updates.
Also another great thing is that you no longer have to do a full wipe for the updates which is such a great bonus.
CM10
My first ROM was ARHD, then I try whit ViperS 1.3.5, then I past to Dark Forest... Actualy I'm using CM10 is pretty good. =)
My first rom is elegance pegasus with apex pro and I like it a lot better that stock. i will try Bruces's CM10 rom next after reading these helpful posts.
I also use Bruce's CM10 ROM. Minor bugs, nothing which renders the phone unusable. It might enter the nightly phase soon.

I use CM10 by Bruce. It's wonderful, only Wifi signal is low. No further issues.
Bought this phone second hand, was already installed with Elegancia rom. Nice Rom, but I just like CM!
I'm using Bruce's cm10,the rom is nice looking but the scrolling is driving me nuts,how do you guys deal with it?
Hi, I'm new here on the Sensation users, got mine l less then a week ago, still need to s-off but unlocked bootloader and superuser are done. Smart flash allowed me to try some roms thanks for that, so here is me brief experience:
- team venom: very complete and one of the most updated I think, but the load of default configuration almost makes sensation crawl a bit sometimes. Not bad battery life but it's a unforgivefull rom, so it's justified. The most complete sense rom.
- miui jb : I like miui, used it before for a long time on my desire, the JB release is great. Fast, beautiful, highly customizable, no issues. If you're into something different it's a great alternative. You can add a app drawer if you miss it or just organize things with folders .
- JB AOKP: Using it now. Fast, clean, the AOKP customization makes it really something unique experience. Good battery life, good performance. I'm still on a flashing spree though, my opinion can change without notifications lol.

+1 for Frankinstine's JB aokp! Very fast and stable.

hello guys, for anyone who would like to own experience tell me which is the best ICS ROM? I mean, a rom that works totally 100% (3d, sound, media, it does not crash ....) and is fast because the official ics without modifications is somewhat slow.
Because I know that there are several modified roms out there, but kind WHICH IS THE BEST?
Leave your comment please!
I have stuck with xbsa roms since I found ics ported from su760. It keeps 3d (the reason I bought this phone) and they are tuned for speed. I don't have experience with other roms. Also I wrote an installation tutorial for it, so I am somewhat biased
unfortunately i must say O3D doesn't have a REAL custom rom.. just cyanogenMod which doesn't have 3d.. and still is nightly and not fast & responsive enough..
our custom rom are actually Official roms with some apps and theme...
i think our professional Dev's have other phones and don't spend enough time on O3D..
any way.. i prefer OptimusRs's rom.. it's light and good...

It's funny, has a cell phone that has not only changed the official ics and works better than ours that are official. Go figure? Well we were there in wait hoping someone to testify a rom perfect and fast.
Sorry to tell you guys, there's no thing such as perfect ROM. It's up to the individuals to decide for themselves, and there are so many threads like this, usually ends in flame wars, so all I can recommend is for you to decide what works.

For me, the best ROM is Darkroom V4 and Acura Euro. Both are extremely fast and both have tons of improvements, but Acura has very aggresive RAM mangement and it closes application sometimes, while using it, so I chosed Darkroom and I am very satisfied.
check this alone. once you are on ICS big partition it is easy to switch between the custom roms.
I like the combo in my signature down here. But all other are also very good.

seems that this rom v4 darkroom is good, was looking a few things about this rom and it seems that it is faster than the official rom.

You cant beat usabilety and speed of CM7 based roms I currently use Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 wihich is very light and stable but also would reccomend gingerdx because it has a few added features and looks like ICS or JB if you download and add acheps JB theme to it
Minimal and most stable - 2.3.7 GB is what you are looking for.

On GB they are oxigen rom, and gingerDX
on ICS i use placebo rom. for me its the most stable.
but since you want a fast rom stay with GB
Gingersnap...best till date...great camera quality

I disagree.
WLAN is crap in his rom. there are several ppl who have the issue but he doesnt give a **** and focuses on completly wrong things. like OTA update....who the f*ck needs this? if i have to flash it with recovery first time, then i can do it again with a new version. nobody needs this ota **** wasting space on the phone.
And when he says "the rom is smooth and fast". It feels like my grand ma with the rollator can beat this "fast" rom!
i try the oxygen roms next hopfully there no such issues.
EDIT: AND he doesnt give the option for ppl like me who doesnt want use Link to SD or AD2Sdx to disable it.
Let's Agree to disagree my Friend!

The CM11 WIFI problem on LG Optimus One has solution. first i have t say "Mukulsoni" IS DOING GREAT!! bringing the KitKat to P500 is really something, man!!! the ROM is not as much fast as CM7 is, BUT it's still smooth and KitKat BEAT'S anyway!
we need to accept that P500 does not meet the minimum system requirements for KitKat (internal memory, CPU speed and so..) and if we consider this, show's how much fast is his ROM!!
The CM11 WIFI problem on LG Optimus One is Real :crying: !! I faced it.. but also solved the problem!!
If you set "United States" in [Settings >WIFI >Advance >WIFI Region Code ] it will fix your problem! :cyclops:
the bug is where that you cannot keep this setting!! every time you reboot the device, you need to do it again! but, not a big deal to me anyway.
also there's this Thread which help you get rid of WIFI reconfiguring each time after reboot, by using this WiFix App .
:good: I wish you the best, my bro. :good:
When will you people learn? Bragging about Kitkat "oh look at me I got the newest Android - its not stable, still in development lots of buggs, lagg as hell, little storage and little free RAM, but hey at least I got the newest..".
Besides this cons as long as the dev is unofficial it will never be good as CM9.
Do as you wish, I've said this a couple of times, expecially when JB 4.3 dev came up, people said the same stuff. I don't care about you using KITKAT, but don't make a good commercial about a bad product to non-dev users.

There is no lag. The only lag with kitkat launcher but not a deal, can be beaten with Holo or Nova launchers.
There is no RAM shortage. Learn about Link2sd. I have some 90MBs free now.
You cannot blame without evidence.
We are not fan of kitkat just because it is new. Mukulsoni done well. 3 years old phone now works way better than 2.3.x
I am not saying it is the best ROM, but not deserving such criticism.
Have fun!
ROMs
Tried many ROMs, but definitely can say that CyanogenMod 7 (by FitAmp) is the best. OxygenROM seemed not so good for me. I don't really know why. It seemed that the battery was going down too fast when I used it, maybe It's just me. In CyanogenMod 9 (hephappy 9.2.3) I had issue with SD-Card that would keep unmounting. CyanogenMod 10 was quite good. Phone slept well, but It was a bit laggy for me. I haven't tried CyanogenMod 11 because of many unneeded (for me) "features".
TL;DR
CM7 is the smoothest in performance and best in battery for me.
CM10 is coolest in UI , battery last long if you don't use the phone that much, but sometimes laggy.
CM9 have this weird sd-card issue FOR ME (only few O1 phones have this OR It's just bad sd-card ).

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA.
No lag ey? C'mon I know you're lying.
RAM and Storage are two different things, learn to defer between.
Link2SD Am using it since like forever, I was going to mention a fact that besides the user-installed apps are on SD they still use internal data but I'll double check this.
Evidence? Check the whole thread. I stopped experimenting since JB as I saw in order to run newer android, system will take more and more from our phone's resources. And still checking dev by-the-way.
IT WORKS BETTER THEN 2.3.X? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
You just made my day xD
PS: If GB supported Greenify and other alike apps I would never leave GB. Am only on ICS because of Android compatibility.

Agreed.
Btw since I don't have this SD-card issue it's only your phone.
Play around a little and perhaps it can be fixed. (do know how to clean-install a new rom?, did you tried formating sdcard in any way and did you tried formating it trough different recoveries?(for example, on 4.2.2 JB I found a fix for non-working sdcard on partitioned sdcard and partitioning it trough diff recovery fixed that issue) etc etc.)
Thread Closed, there shouldn't be any discussion about Best. Fastest ROM/Kernel
