So I had to sell sell my current phone and I am going to use my sensation again for the next 2 months. I have tried the unofficial CM12.1 ROM and it is running surprisingly well, however CPU and RAM are constantly at 100%, rendering some simple tasks like Web browsing impossible (phone crashes).
l was thinking that the older ICS-based ROMs like ViperS or Elegancia may be better in terms of performance. Maybe the hardware of our favourite phone just isn't built for the software me have now...
Maybe there is a third alternative? What would be the best ROM for the Sensation in terms of performance?
ViperS is JB-based (4.1.2). Experiences can vary on a per-device basis, I personally find CM12.1 sufficient and issue-less, save the RIL bugs.

Hi guys, i have kind of finished with flashing roms on my tg01, i am going to put it at rest on a permanent rom. I have been using the rom in my signature for a month or so. There is a newer version but apparently not stable But this ROM is VERY good, it satisfies most of my needs. However i would like to know if someone could pls suggest other roms they have tried, that suit my needs:
1) Good RAM running Sense, no less than 50mb at any time. (i currently use arto's start removal, and manilla startmenu)
2) Speediness (good considerable speed, less lag etc)
3) Good ROM storage amount on flash
4) Bug Free (least bugs as possible)
5) Good battery life
6) Latest manilla versions (2.5 2016/2017 etc)
7) Stable!! (bug free messaging, prefably wm standard messaging, good sound quality, no random resets)
I am not really that bothered into the OS, but prefably i would pick 6.5
im sorry, does a rom like this even exist or am i dreaming ?
Please suggest me some good ROMS,
Thanks
It seems that you are dreaming
I nearly tried most of the roms here and this one is the best till now
Disabling start menu you have around 55 mb in ram which is very fair, and the battery consumption is good too
wait for k01 rom it can do magic i feel.
Android on way.
I have tried a couple of AOSP-like ICS ROMs (HyperNonSense, Virtuous Inquisition 4.0) and I am not very happy with the performance. Pressing the back button often causes a small stutter or lag, and browsing (although fast) has lag on occasion or stutters.
It is not that the experience is 'bad', but it is not as fluid and fast as one would expect it to be from a dual-core phone with the kind of specs included within.
To give you a better idea, my Samsung Galaxy S (i9000), running the BlueLighting ROM (ICS 4.0.3) with a 'mild' OC to 1.2 GhZ runs buttery smooth, and beats my Sensation XE (ICS 4.0.3, tested at 1.2 GhZ 'underclock, 1.5 Ghz 'stock' and 1.7 Ghz 'OC') every time and in every situation: Browsing pictures, using stock browser, browsing applications, contacts, pressing the back button etc.
Why does a phone with a single-core CPU, clocked lower, and what seems to be inferior specs outperform a phone that should be doing much better?
I love AOSP experience, and I would ideally avoid any Sense-ROMs (although Sense-lite are ok, I suppose).
Can anyone tell me what their mileage is, with which ICS ROM, and whether you think there is a ROM I should try?
Thanks!
I also had the Virtous Inquisition Rom on my Sensation and i have to say it works very well.
Maybe you have to try another aosp rom like the Cyanogen mod9 from ultimate sensation,it also works very good for me
Thanks I will give it a try and let you know!
Also, can anyone suggest a good ICS kernel? I have had trouble finding a stable kernel. Some can work fine at speeds above 1.6GhZ, but some will not even boot -- perhaps they are not for ICS. I will have to look around. I am surprised there is (no offence!) little variety and option on offer in regards to kernels -- particularly for those interested in the more exotic CPU profiles.
I have also used both Hyper NonSense (1.5 currently, no longer being developed but is stable) and early Virtuous Inquisition releases. For me, both were quite fast - Hyper NonSense more so, but I haven't used a recent release of VI. In both cases, I stuck with the stock kernel distributed with the ROM.
FWIW, Hyper NonSense has also been giving me EXCELLENT battery life. It's a shame to see development stop on it.
I want to start this off by saying that I don't intend to bash any of the AOSP dev's around. They're doing a bloody great job.
With that out of the way, it seems like every AOSP-based rom i try (whether it's cm10.1, cm10.2, cm11 (3.0/3.4 kernel), miui, carbon etc etc just to name a few), gaming performance is way below Sense based roms. Is this because the Sense drivers are better optimized for Sensation? Is it a GPU tweak I've missed?
For example, on Sense roms I can play Temple Run 2 on Best Graphics and Asphalt 8: Airborne on Medium without any form of stuttering. On AOSP-based roms however, this turns into a slideshow. Have I missed something here? I'm desperate for some decent AOSP-GPU performance.

i recently bought a nvidia shield k1 . i think the performance is pretty good.
what are the benefits of switching over to cm13 ?
are there any performance benefits ?
which is the best rom for this tablet ?
The NVIDIA stock ROM is pretty lightweight and has few issues. Only flash CyanogenMod if you need the extra features (like the theme engine) are willing to tolerate bugs (I had issues with memory leaks).
I tried Bliss and CM. I would have weird issues playing games. Found stock was better for gaming unfortunately. I love ROMs and flashing. I found GtrCraft's ROM here and it works very well. Nothing extra, but it is optimized a bit.

I'm a noob and I'm happy with Nvidia stock ROM. Besides, the Mediaserver bug that I recently encountered. Though, that's apparently common even with custom ROMs.
Okay so basically what I have found out is it seems that on all custom roms the Android system is using like 1gb of ram just by itsself after about maybe 2 to 3 hours on every rom. And stock only uses like 770 or lower in that time. So based off your guys personal opinions which has better performance. That's all that matters to me.
Performance is great on both but, since stock is well optimized, it gives it the lead
Stock ROM got more inbuilt features then custom ROMs. If you want more UI customization, then custom ROMs are best. Also as much as I realised it's faster too. Moreover custom ROMs camera is nothing compared to stock EMUI.
For now, stock remains the better option if you care about camera and battery
