[Q] Which ROM?

I am getting this phone as an upgrade for my sister and was wondering which ROM people are recommending? Had the Desire before and that was running CM so something snappy would be ideal

CM,Hydrogen,Miui in that order
For senese roms try vrtuouse unity,lbc

For sense use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230029

I am using Virtuous Unity beta right now. It is super smooth. De finately check it out if you want Sense 3.0 rom.

I tested a lot of custom roms. i recomand lbc saga 0.6.0. the custom cm adapted for desire s has a lot of bugs...

The best and smooth rom that i ve used was virtuous 2.3.5
I tried MIUI and hydrogen but they always fc com.android.phone

I recommend this ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 (v1.0.2) By: NeoLojik
It is very fast and stable. And if you like sense icons, there is a sense-theme at xda.

[Q] First custom rom, any recommendations?

Hi,
in 3 or 4 hours my friend comes with his Sensation to me and I'll be rooting and unlocking his phone (as I am experienced and own DHD and have sdk and everything installed). Could you recommend me some custom rom to install on his phone later on? It's going to be his first custom rom and it is his first android smartphone so I thought I could install some Sense 3.5 roms to show him all the eye candys at first, so that he knows what his device is capable of . Could you recommend me some stable and (well, possibly) fast sense 3.5 rom? And he's been complaining to me yesterday about battery life so maybe I'll ask him whether he prefers eye candy or battery life. If he says battery, could you also recommend some AOSP or MIUI roms? As said before stable and fast, with everything working. It's his first rom, I don't want to disappoint him, because it was me who got him into Android, he was previously on some symbian crap .

I would probe say arhd 4.1.8 prity simpol for him 2 get use 2 at 1st

Android Revolution HD, Insert Coin or for pure eye candy (and stable-ness) you want Coredroid or BlackIce

I prefer Stock Euro Sensation LE

Bah, Try CM7 to show him an AOSP ROM. (or even MIUI not tried it personally for ages).
Seriously though, I'd download a few and play with then to show him how easy it is. Especially show him the nandroid backup/restore from CWM so he can easily regress to an earlier version, even his stock ROM.

[Q] what is the most stable rom you downloaded ?

Hi ...
I'm trying to do my friend a favor by downloading a costume ics rom on his pyramid since he doesn't really like his stock rom , so my question is what is the most stable and non bugs rom for ics you advice me to download ? thanks a lot for the help guys

Custom ROMs
Since your friend is not happy with the stock ROM, you can give Android Revolution HD a miss, since it is as close to stock as one can get. Though it is rock solid & very stable.
You can go through this brilliant thread to have a look at the various ROMs available, the sense-less ROMs in particular:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613295

Do you want AOKP or sense 3.6 or 4? Cuz for sense for me it was ARHD.
but I've been using HyperSensation (AOKP) on and off for a while.
If you're looking for stability in general, I wouldn't go for sense 4 right now.
In the titles they have to advertise their stability, which isn't a really good sign IMO.

It depends if you want a stock look or a aosp look, I'm pretty sure for stock most people would recommend
this and for aosp it would be this or this the reason I didn't link you to cm9 or aokp based rom because they still have minor bugs which isn't technically 100% stable but if you don't mind those bugs and want a vanilla android feel get one of those.
P.s make sure you make a nandroid before flashing a rom.

ARHD is not wrong.
others you can try Ordriod.

The three most stable from my experiences are:
Arhd
Leedroid
Elegancia
(Ordroid is very close to getting there)

Most are stable unless they indicate beta!

Insert Coin is pretty good

I experimented with several ROM's including MikeHD OrDroid, Virtuious however for my preference and taste I Recommend LEEDroid Sensational 7.3.0 Many thanks to this fabulous developer!

Asianic v.2. Super stable, fast with every conceivable mod to choose from and great sound to boot.

I would say Virtuous Inquisition, never had any problems with it. OrDroid is almost there as well...

I've been running Ordroid 8.1.0 for a couple days now. It's pretty stable. It's crashed a couple times. Rebooted randomly once. But not much else if you're intested in sense 4.0. I might consider going back to Charmander and try that out for a longer period.

I've tried virtuous, its stable, however I'm liking beatsbygrogg its very stable too it has sence and virtuous is a sence less Rom , I get WiFi and hotspot. Its just a matter of personal taste. I think you should try out a few roms and see which one suits your own personal preference.
That's the fun part. Thank God for the developers to give us options, just try some and see what YOU prefer. Have fun.

Any full functional AOSP rom?

I am selling my Sensation which rom do you think is most stable

Right now i have flashed ViperS 5.0.0 do you think that is stable enough? What would you recommend. The most important thing is stable.

You should probably revert back to compete stock.

Complete stock sucks and is slow lol. I would feel bad sending someone that.... Any other suggestions. Plus i advertised the phone as rooted with a custom rom on ebay.
edit: I think i might go with ViperS 3.1.4

ARHD 7.3, all as stock, but faster and smoother. Plus install Sultan latest Sense kernel.

WiFi doesn't seem to work on my sensation with the sultan kernel. Just go with the provided kernel. The rom I would reccomend is the ViperS sense 5.0 rom. Its very stable, and you get jelly bean with it too. I also would reccommend a tweaking tool for the SebastionFM kernel (the stock one in the ROM). Its pretty neat because you can customise alot of it.

Maybe on yours, mine is working flawlessly.
The best way is to go as close to stock as he can, all other roms are not quite good as it. I tried almost all of them and I always come back to ARHD.

[Q] Android L on Sensation

The day that we will get the Android L ROM for Sensation (that day will come, we know)... Will we can enjoy with a ROM with no 'drain battery problem'?
There's no ROM, except ICS stock rom, that manage the life of battery so well
Sorry guys, if my thread (offtopic) isn't in the correct section
And, thanks for reading.

I used almost every Rom ICS,JB,KITKAT
But best battery life in my experience ViperS 5.x.x with SebastianFM kerenl

I wanted to install ViperS but didn't because the rom was 700Mb. How much free space do you have for apps after installing ViperS?

To answer the question in the title by the way,
I think to get Android L on a Sensation would require something with the system partitions, and because it's primarily ART: there will be a few problems regarding stability, alas: I think. I am not a developer myself but I've overheard discussions about it.

The size of the rom actually doesn't mather that much, because everything is installed to the /system partition and apps are installed on /data partition.

ViperS 5.2.1 is excellent indeed.

Even though I feel like i could get more battery life out this ROM i have to agree it is the best ROM for sensation so far. All the KitKat roms are pretty poor in terms of battery life. I had a swollen battery a couple weeks ago and my sensation could still get by.

Sense 6
I think i'm looking forward to see Venom port the full sense 6 with whichever version of android more than the port of android L. Sense is my personal preference.

Yeah Sense 6 port would be awesome but probably Sensation will never get sense 6 port. It is same problem why Sense roms on Sensation stuck on JB 4.1.2. But little hope still exist HTC ONE S got sense 6 port but only (S4 version). I still hope.

I envy those One S owners. I love the sensation but i hope to get a One M8 or M7 soon. Still keeping the sensation out of love.
