[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Sweet... I'm not even going to waste my time flashing it. I'm sure it's awesome, but I really don't want yet ANOTHER form of Sense on my phone. I'll wait until someone's stripped Sense off the bones.

EDIT:

Damn it... My curiosity is getting the best of me. I'm downloading this pig of a zip. 400+ MB?! GeeeeeeeeeZus!
[HTC Sensation] mils69:
Prepare to be underwhelmed.. Sense 3.5 (on ICS) is more of the same old same old.. and that's just what it is.. dated. I find very little compelling in this whatsoever which is a pity.. one would think HTC have taken this opportunity to show some initiative. Apparently not.

400MB.. given the factory images of ICS (4.0.2) for the GN are 184MB.. it's a bit of a disgrace.
[HTC Sensation] hassan:
Well looks like HTC stuck with there own UI. I've been using it since Hero. Its look old and boring. ICS meant to bring new fresh UI, doesn't look like its going to happen with HTC devices. I think upcoming HTC flagship device will have new UI.

If not i may give up buying HTC. :(
[HTC Sensation] Wanderer_Zero:
These sense roms means cm9 is almost here fellow romaholics. Besides, its not that hard to remove sense and go aosp ;)
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
Yes it is. Even if you remove all the HTC cruft, you're still stuck with a while bunch of sense stuff. The settings app, and the notification status bar thing are the two most annoying differences.
[HTC Sensation] Basil3:
A disgrace why? I'm sure HTC invested plenty of time and money in that extra 200MB to improve the user experience for the average user.

The percentage of phone users that root and flash ROMs is low, and I'm sure the average phone user would prefer sense over stock gingerbread.

The latest test leak is sense 3.5 over ICS. I'm sure sense will also be updated. Unfortunately the only way some users will be happy with sense if it offers plenty of bells and whistles in a sub 100MB ROM image.
[HTC Sensation] kboater:
im sure you guys know more then me, but why are people saying we will have CM9 soon?

As i look though the deveolopment section, I dont think the sensation ever got a proper fully functional complete CM7 build... so is CM9 going to be different? are we going to to get a complete, officially supported CM9 build?
[HTC Sensation] chiragkrishna:
who cares for a cm9 man,... in a matter of days devs will make a v gud rom out of the leaked rom,...

so y wait for cm9, even if it is released am damn sure a lot will not work,...

if u hate sense well there r gud chances to de-sense it,... ;)
[HTC Sensation] Bazito:
test the beta version 4.0.1 for sensation and still looks good:)
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Underwhelmed doesn't even scratch the surface. It... is... AWFUL!!!!1!!!11!!!!one!!!!11!!juan!!!1!1

There's almost no difference between stock Sensation and this horrible pile of poopy. WTF?! It's like they said "Well, ICS comes with lots of cool stuff and a far better interface... BUT WHO CARES?! We'll stick with our old, bloated, tired, slow, unimaginative interface rather than just build on-top of ICS and make it look EXACTLY like Android 2.3, except it will be SLOWER! Yes!!! Slower! That makes people think there's SO MUCH MORE in their phone. And while we're at it, we'll use ALL of their memory."

OOOOoooo K, rant over.

But this is really bad. I don't care if it's a beta. Sense sucks the farts out of an elephant's butt. I want the ICS experience.

Yeah... I was going to install the ICS launcher someone posted earlier, but decided it wasn't worth my time. I already made up my mind that I hate the HTC leak and there's no reason to mess with it. I'll wait for a stripped ROM or something as close to AOSP as it gets.
[HTC Sensation] Louer Adun:
Wow really? We now have driver binaries from HTC for ICS. This leak is the best thing that could have happened to HTC Sensation development in the last couple months.

I'm sure there will be a Sense 4.0 to accompany the official release. We are very lucky to have this leak, and I for one am very happy to see HTC at this stage in development!

Can't wait to see what the devs here can cook up! It's going to be a great Christmas,
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
I'm not saying that the leak is a bad thing. I'm saying the ROM is.

The ROM is just awful. It really is. I thank these guys for bringing it out, but it's honestly just not good.

I just downloaded ARHD's 5.0.1 (Android 4.0) version to see if it's any better. We'll see, but I'm worried it's going to be just as disappointing. Although, they did get rid of the majority of bloatware, so who knows?
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
What a surprise ...... :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] hello00:
interesting but i wouldn't get my hopes up..
[HTC Sensation] Retrolock:
Sell your sensation and buy a galaxy nexus. Yes i went there. This is an htc phone and almost all have the lumbering sense ui. Deal with it. Besides, this is a beta leak, as if you didn't know that.

Or just wait for cm9, goodluck with that!
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
LOL! HTC Sense Fan-boys are always so fast to jump to the "sell your phone" thing... Pshhhh.

Anyway, onto ICS discussion stuff that actually matters...

I installed ARHD 5.0.1 and it's a lot better than the RCMix ROM I'd tested earlier. I've made it my daily driver even with a few minor bugs.

I removed the Sense launcher which was driving me nuts and installed the ICS launcher. MUCH better. Now if I can remove the Sense browser and get the ICS browser, I'd be 10x happier. Aside from that I think I'm in good shape with this ROM.

Seems that HW acceleration is working well in the HTC leak and everything is nice a smooth (after removing the Sense launcher, that is).

Battery life isn't great yet, but I'm going to give it a few charge cycles before I really make that call.

Ultimate 1.0 ROM is going to be nearly completely stripped of all Sense stuff other than the camera, dialer and contacts. While I like the HTC Camera, I genuinely hate the Sense dialer and contacts. When I had my Nexus One, I couldn't imagine a better dialer and contacts list except... The one thing I do like about the Sense dialer is the T9 contact thing... Other than that, awful.

(Puts on flame suit)

Either way, digging it. Just about everything works so far. And I'm going to give the Ultimate 1.0 a test drive.

One thing I did notice is that my SVOX isn't working. I don't know why just yet, but I'm going to try a few things. Hopefully I can get that working because the ICS speech to text still isn't great.

::EDIT::

Fixed SVOX. Had to uninstall the voice and then reinstall it from the market.
[HTC Sensation] Retrolock:
Not a fanboy, its just annoying to read the crying about sense. If you had just posted your solutions without your rant you'll earn my respect even if you don't want it.
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Well, I usually post my fixes for everything I do if I don't see others doing it.

However, this is my first "how to" post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1407215
[HTC Sensation] Retrolock:
Now this is what im talking about, thanks for this!
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
No problem. I'm not very good with Android yet. I'm a web developer. But I'm getting there and have a firm background in fixing crap on Windows and Linux (used to be a network engineer). This seems to be a an easy fix and I'm sure what took me 20 minutes to figure out, a developer could have done in 5 minutes.

Now if only I can get Spotify to work. LOL
[HTC Sensation] sohail25feilder:
Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and happy new year to all in advance. I am using Elegancia ics and it seems working fine to me. Elegancia is a real custom rom and i'm loving it. Guys just try it and enjoy on your vacations.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Looks like trip got it out before kmobs.

Only camera and bluetooth are not working.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
What about third party camera apps?
[HTC Sensation] F4M0U569:
they work cept video camera
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Just tried it. Not any better than test HTC Rom. Scrolling just as crappy (stops short, no inertion), slow menus, launcher is crap IMHO. There are loads of probs with gapps etc.
[HTC Sensation] F4M0U569:
Trip just confirmed he has camera working
[HTC Sensation] taffypride:
Just tried Trip's rom. Its good but lack of working Bluetooth and Camera put me right off.....
[HTC Sensation] ryohazuki:
lol at the other thread about Trips no sense ics rom being closed. It's a general discussion forum, I don't see why we can't talk about the rom here atleast if he can't even post on here for it. He's the only Developer with a pretty good AOSP ICS rom out, and we can't even talk about it -_-

also,

Keyan Mobli - Yesterday 5:04 PM - Mobile - Public

For those that haven't been following CM, the 8x60 framework bits are all opensource now.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
I think kmobs is waiting on some other dev to fix bugs before he releases his first alpha.
[HTC Sensation] dante-fu:
CM team does not release demo alpha releases. Official stable CM9 is coming to Sensation.

Official ICS has been confirmed.

We have many flavours of super stable Sense 3.0 and 3.5 ROMs that are way over functionality of vanilla GB and comparable in speed.

There is OCD ROM flasher support group on XDA here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=65285.

Having Sensation is a bliss.
[HTC Sensation] flamechamp:
I'm sure the developer for Sensation will be more active again when the Sense UI 4.0 is released in the future with ICS. :)
[HTC Sensation] corwest:
There's only so many things you can do with sense and since CM7 never made it out of alpha, I would imagine devs see no point in releasing even more sense roms. The ones we got still get updated pretty regularly so I wouldn't worry about dev slowing down.
[HTC Sensation] Wanderer_Zero:
Cm7 had so many problems on sensation too. People probably figured it was worth it waiting for CM9 source to be released.

I'm planning on personally starting to dabble in cooking roms sp hopefullu we'll have some new devs by the time a stable release of ics and cm9 source is out.

On a side note, definitely hopeful that kmobs release will be pretty stable since he's refraining from posting while it still isnt daily driver capable :)
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
Why we lack roms :

CM never released source, other devs cant compile and sheet.

MIUI depends of CM a lot, so again, not much can be done.

Sense 3 and 3.5 is very alike, all of the roms are either themed, or just some minor differences.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
today will be a new version with HW ACCELERATION working ;)
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
How do you know? From kmobs or trip? Thanks for the info btw!
[HTC Sensation] sn4k3:
he wrote this:
[HTC Sensation] zerozoneice:
Wrong, 3.0 !=3.5, lots of improvements over 3.0

3.5 is not even released officially for Sensation, all we have is a leak.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I still dont see a ROM as a daily driver without a working camera. Neither parties have this. Also, from what Ive read, neither will CM9 until sometime after the initial release.

That really ought to be fixed before a release is made because the ROM will still be inferior to CM7 and some of the sense based ROMs. They work extremely well, so its a tall order to say CM9 or TRIP ICS wins over them without a camera. Fast is fast. But missing some key features like a working camera can make all the difference. Im willing to bet that ICS will be no "faster" than CM7 or a sense ROM, so missing key features that make the ROM ICS makes it little more than GB with some skins and ports.

[HTC Sensation] awesomecomb:
This is with any software upgrade. The CM5 or 6 (cant remember) beta for my hero had no camera or GPS, but that was the price I paid to have eclair.
[HTC Sensation] flowserver:
Seriously? You change stock sense by Htc? ICS is too slow, i benchmarking this beta rom but.... Naaa.. I dont change sense by the ugly interface of ICS..
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
I'm not sure why CM7 is still being called alpha.

I was hesitant to try CM7, about a 2 weeks ago I did ans it's been my daily driver without reboots, fc or anything that would draw me away from it, and I'm picky. I use it for everything btw.

CM7 is definitely the best ROM for me so far.
[HTC Sensation] wadill:
Ok guys xda just had an official tweet about the ics ports on various devices. Apparently it was allowed for this member to post a link to trips Rom, so I don't see any reason why the link to modaco cannot be posted here to update us. Discussion on the Rom is probly allowed as long as we dont start flaming and talking about banned members too much. Ive tried to respect the rules about this Rom, but if xda has an official news story with the link inside the thread I'm game.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-keep-track-of-all-xda-ics-ports/
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Never the less, ICS will not bring anything must have to the table to justify doing without a camera on a camera phone with an advanced camera like the sensation has or the inability to see where you are because GPS is broken.

CM7 has everything working, and it works VERY well. Id just assume CM9 be postponed until the camera works. ICS is supposed to have a great camera app...

With major features missing(FULL HA, full dual core support, GPS, Camera) , its little more than CM7 with the ICS themese, wallpaper, and widget ports.

EDIT: I could just see the whining over the missing functions. Might be enough to make a dev (that now has the Galaxy Nexus) switch focus to his new phone. ;-)

[HTC Sensation] SagiMedina:
He is right 3.5 is much better!
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
sense itself is still **** :p laggy and buggy.
[HTC Sensation] DanielF50:
3.5 lags and is more buggy than 3.0, but no sense script ftw!
[HTC Sensation] Ali_Shaikh:
Apparently he has HW done, but now ADB has stopped, should be fixed within a day!
[HTC Sensation] djice000:
OK so I'm on ICS and apparently its not allowed....but needless to say, it runs perfectly. The only bug I've found so far is when I press the settings button, then storage I get a soft reboot other than that, it works like a charm :)
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
As many posts as you have you should know better bruh..

I am watching my watch to see how fast this thread gets shutdown. lol This is classic.
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Come on guys!!!

Reports have been raining in hourly!!!!

No external links to other forums or links to roms from other forums!!!!
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
You know, it's not really a violation of the TOS as set out in the announcement shown in every forum. You don't need to register at Modaco to download the file, and I've not seen one single official statement about not mentioning he-who-shall-not-be-named.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
There'a no need to have any "official statement"...the mods are telling you that we don't allow his work here, so that should be enough.
[HTC Sensation] swiftinmotion:
the grass is greener on the other side. I use to only pay attention to this site now I find myself not even checking this Nazi run site. venture out you'll find some pretty stable ics Ports to our sensation.

Does everybody understand now why these threads are being deleted?
[HTC Sensation] diamantericos:
You people really don't need to deal with this at all. You must have forgotten the old way to get info .just Google it no need to deal with a single forum. It is getting ridiculous.
[HTC Sensation] Baby_Harris:
There is a working one. The link is on the homepage.
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
People don't get it...

Bringing MaDoCo stuff to XDA is like walking in McDonalds with a Wendy's cup asking for a refill on a frosty...Makes zero sense and you look like a arse. lol

Just use Google or PM each other. ICS isn't banned here, it's just that nobody HERE is working on it So they feel no need to talk about it. Especially from someone who was kangin X-10 ROM's and reeking havoc and causing drama all over XDA not to long ago.
[HTC Sensation] corwest:
Its called mutual respect. The Moderators of this site keep it clean and a good environment (or try to) so if they say no then just don't do it.
[HTC Sensation] F4M0U569:
this thread should be closed since ICS is not being developed on here..want to discuss ICS? discuss it over there
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
heh, CONGRATULATIONS everyone. Even after the mods have told you to STOP DISCUSSING ABOUT THE ROM FROM THE ONE WHO SHALL NO BE NAMED, you guys don't listen. When a thread gets lock down, you act like a little b1tch.

Go to Modaco if you want ICS ffs. I'm using it, but i don't discuss it here. Don't blame the forum about being so strict or having something up their holes.
[HTC Sensation] DanielF50:
Surely you can discuss it here, just not mention the name, name of the dev or post links?
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
If you do, some newbie is going to ask you for links, and someone "good hearted" person WILL post it.
[HTC Sensation] wadill:
I respect this and have completely sided with you guys, and understand why.

Edit: Mods apparently removed the sensation part of the xda thread I commented on earlier. I apologize.
[HTC Sensation] GiZZy:
Personally i do want those discussions here, I don't feel like going on there just to see the discussion there. I just want to know what the status of ICS is and i love to read about it on XDA. I don't care of who is doing what, only what has been done so far. Therefore i think it is okay to keep this discussion open here for the people that want to know the status of it, just follow the rules and keep specific names and links out.
[HTC Sensation] hd2Raz:
Couldn't agree more. I've been "forced" into creating a new account on another site only because my rather new expensive arse phone is being blacklisted on XDA. Dont tell me its not when the only thing most Sensation owners care about now is ICS, and discussion on this topic as it relates to this device is being shunned. I for one don't give a "badword" who is doing the development, i want the latest news and updates in one place. That place has always been XDA, unfortunately that is changing thanks to some "upset" folks. I say keep the discussion open and alive, we the people who make up this community deserve it.
[HTC Sensation] kotaro_14:
Hopefully Persiansown will release his CM9 checkout his Google+ profile for updates: Keyan Mobli. https://plus.google.com/113702637309752822154/posts

ICS is awesome. It feels so fast and the look and feel is way better than Vanilla GB and Sense 3.0/3.5 even though HW Acceleration is off.

[HTC Sensation] xm0is3sx:
I guess I have no choice but to leave this forum and move on to another one... at least for the sensation since it seems its the only sub-forum doing this "mutual respect" nonsense I think this is more like an apple app store thread where the word "android" is not allowed including any info towards it adios!
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Just go join Modaco and discuss it there. That is where it is being toyed with, so why not go straight to the source? People here arent using it, so they have little to say about it.

I tend to disagree with a lot of people here (mods included) but in this case, you really come off as a chump. Few people here are even running (if you can even call it that) ICS, so it only seems logical to go where the dude is at that is working on it.

No need to make a scene.

I've just read that mdeejay has an ICS kernel for Sensation on Github. Do you think he's working on a build, too?

That would be great news ... mdj was one of the major devs who ported gingerbread to hd2 when it first arrived
[HTC Sensation] Ali_Shaikh:
Cool! Looks like he has Camera working, if they can combine TRWSNBN(HW almost done)+Camera of MDJ= DONE

Its super smooth already, and HW isn't even on yet! Everything feels way faster than any CM7/Sense rom, no more input lag can't wait to see how fast it is with HW
[HTC Sensation] perhac89:
Has anybody tried running this kernel on the ICS rom that is released at the moment? ;)

Im curious to see if it'll fix anything or comepletely crash lol. If no one has then I'll take a shot at it.
[HTC Sensation] zerozoneice:
camera working? where? can we test? where's the thread on this?
[HTC Sensation] taffypride:
despite what other people say, i have tried the only ICS alpha that has been released and it is far too unstable for me to use.

i however appreciate all the hard work that has gone into what has been acheived so far, and can only look forward to future updates, including awaiting the much anticipated release from Kmobs.

back to Scott and Twin Dragons MIUI 1.12.9 for me for now.....

I swear I giggle a whole lot to myself when I read forums anymore....."As the Ice Cream Melts"....great drama....

Yup I am sticking to MIUI 1.12.9 as well for now. It seems to be the most stable ROM out there without Sense

Aldo I would love to try a bug free CM7 !!

[HTC Sensation] Rickdaddy:
damn, is that true? kind of discouraging to know that no one is working on ICS for the sensation :(
[HTC Sensation] Sleef:
ICS is working well enough for me, at present. Getting some random data drops but it's not too bad.

Still, hw accelleration will be needed to make it the obvious choice as a daily. The new voice recognition is awesome!

Pretty anxious to see what CM9 looks like. The CM7 alphas were great!
[HTC Sensation] hd2Raz:
There is someone working on a sensation ICS port but he cannot be named here nor can his work be applauded ( although good) or linked here.
[HTC Sensation] chiragkrishna:
I guess kmobs will release ics as stable version(though I doubt it)... n after users install it n explore a whole lot of bugs(hope this doesn't happen)... it would go back to alpha 1 status... by that time HTC will release a official version n source... n all the devs will dive in n copy/modify a bit of it to make a complete stable rom... so v have to wait for a long time...
