UK HTC Sensation here.

Been using Virtuous 1.3.0 now for a couple of days, battery life has drastically improved since 1.2.0.

Camera works fine, used Pano to take a few panoramic shots and it worked fine, Default camera was OK also.

Few small bugs here and there, keyboard seems to slow down once in a while and taskbar at the top seems to like "Lag/Ghost" in a weird way.

But with that said, Its an enjoyable ROM and I'm very happy and grateful to the DEV. I'm using it as a daily, I wouldn't say its an alpha, its way more usable than that. I'd say its a well built beta at the moment.

Would highly recommend it.
[HTC Sensation] jjayr41:
This was with the newest Beta that was just released?
[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:
Rather than go with a cooked ROM I've been using the leaked ICS 4.0.1 RUU from Capychimp for three days now. Fast, slick, stable, everything just works. Still rooted, still able to use CWM as normal, and it has the built in development menu that allows you to choose haware acceleration of UI and even overlay CPU usage on screen. Most importantly for me, the stock HTC Music app has had a volume boost, and Beats sounds better than it has ever sounded in any ROM or RUU I've used before.

From what I've been reading, it seems that updating the firmware via the leaked RUU and THEN flashing a custom rom seems to be the way to go for performance and stability, as running an ICS / Sense 3.5 ROM over a Gingerbread / Sense 3.0kernel is bound to cause problems.

I'm currently running a nandroid backup and I'm going to try flashing the Amaze camera mod, if this works then I've found my daily driver right up until HTC release their final version of ICS. If not... meh, the stock camera app is good enough for now.

EDITED TO ADD: Amaze camera does not work, restoring backup and sticking with stock HTC camera for now.

arhd5.0.2

i'm on arhd5.0.2 and so far so good. only problem is to change background.
[HTC Sensation] gsk_1905:
I think that arhd 5.0.2 and other ics roms are so slow. Are there anybody thinking like me ??
[HTC Sensation] lems:
no, not really. but with the new firmware it should be faster, i've read
[HTC Sensation] :
its somewhat slow, but more laggy than slow. its only a leak build though, and it was released during the holidays so we should get it fixed this coming week
[HTC Sensation] trust-no-one:
Revolution HD 5.0.2

I have had a great experience with Revolution HD 5.0.2. My SIM still has not arrived, but I see very little bugs, it is not too laggy (with forced GPU rendering) and (or course) it is ICS!!!! Can't wait for future releases.
[HTC Sensation] snorkdesign:
I've been on arhd 5.0.2 for about two days, everything working perfectly! I've also flashed the no-sense script, like it better that way.. Smooth, no lag, music and gallery working fine, wifi and data also.

Device: HTC Sensation - S-off - Rooted - 32Gb sd

ROM: ARHD 5.0.2 ICS + no-sense

Kernel: Stock

Radio: 10.15.9035.02

Recovery: 4Ext Touch
[HTC Sensation] Svartsyn333:
I'm on Virtous Inquisition ICS 4.0.1 V. 1.2 since a few hours and it works great for me. I use Nova Launcher found here in the XDA forum instead of ICS stock launcher. That fixed search bar was quiet annoying.

Looking forward to see BeatsAudio integrated in this ROM, then it's perfect!
[HTC Sensation] valefour:
So I flashed this last night and noticed no one is really mentioning it or paying much attention but the megadroid rom is pretty good in my opinion. The only trace of sense I can really notice is the camera and dialer but the from comes with both aosp and sense dialers and cameras.

Dev seems to be from Thailand and released other roms for the sensation over there. So being the first I've seen from him I can say it seems like he knows what he's doing.

Went from InsertCoin to megadroid and I think it's a huge upgrade. Doesn't seem to be laggy for me but idk what you guys consider laggy, can always use system tuner to force CPU for an extra boost.

But yeah, if you want a aosp ICS this one seems like a good one to at least try. Stock launcher, lock screen, people/contacts, Widgets, notification bar, so on so forth.

Sent from my HTC Sensation MeGaDroid 4.0.3
[HTC Sensation] John.N:
Used with Insert Coin 3.5 for 2 weeks, had no complaints. Now if I could get IC4.0.x to work...
[HTC Sensation] vinas1:
I believe you need to set this in the settings. By default it was unchecked for me (GPU acceleration).
[HTC Sensation] xdiable:
GPU acceleration doesnt help the OS its for old apps
[HTC Sensation] cpittman:
Friendly reminder that most if not all sensation sense ics roms are based on the leak which was a debug build. That means its compiled with all sorts of extra code running in the background for debugging purposes. Unless you find a smali god who can go through and disable said debugging code its going to be laggy.
[HTC Sensation] xdiable:
Honestly, I like trip's build best. He is a complete and utter asshole but his rom is butter smooth if you use Trebuchet or Nova launcher and stable. Your right the camera doesn't work but its the closest thing to CM9 that's out. If he wasn't such an attention whore and could work with others I'm sure his build would be the standard but he can't.

Of the hybrid ASOP builds Virtuous Inquisition is by far the best but its buggy because of its source and most of the "fixes" are work arounds and will remain so due to it be built on a alpha or beta leak.

People need to watch some videos of ICS running on a Galaxy Nexus to see how ICS works. Its not fast like CM7 when jumping between the desktop and app drawer but very smooth
[HTC Sensation] taffypride:
running Stock HTC 3.06.401.101 flashed from the RUU. Flashed the AOSP mods/Fixes v3.2 and it's running smooth as silk. Prior to flashing the RUU, speed was a bit hit and miss...

Have also tried Trip's Revised ICS rom, and it's fast, but has a few bugs like no bluetooth, no camera and some apps don't show correctly....

Awaiting more AOSP and CM9 options though....
[HTC Sensation] dadush777:
I'm running Virtous Inquisition 1.3 which is a Sense-less ICS ROM.. it runs smooth and great!

but can I install HTC Music Apk with Beats Audio?

Can anyone give me a link to that?

thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Svartsyn333:
Developer wants too add BeatsAudio in next update. I'm waiting for this, too!

I have experienced that the ROM is fast and stable, too. But still I can't wait to get rid of the stock kernel. ^^
[HTC Sensation] Chronzy:
+1 For Virtuous. 98% senseless for the purists out there. I have 1.3 with the new firmware and launcherpro running very smoothly. Camera is great and GPS works. Really enjoying this ROM.
[HTC Sensation] MosesTheTool:
ARHD 5.0.2 experience

I'm using the ARHD 5.0.

-Can't change wallpaper from Personalize or setting. "Gallery has stopped working" error

-Whatsapp typing slowly and has a crash now and then.

-Dolphin browser won't let me zoom by double tap until it loads fuy.

-Can't change tray icons because it makes a loop error

-Contacts widget won't show contacts on desktop

And on the positive side, battery is excellent!, phone is fast, nice design, would be awesome without bugs
[HTC Sensation] XDA-dre:
ARHD 5.02

I'm using ARHD 5.02 and I'm getting a great Rom since updating boot to 1.20 and the latest radio.

Had to wipe Facebook data once in order to get all contact pics to sync. No tray error either.
[HTC Sensation] snorkdesign:
So, I've been using ardh 5.0.2 now for a while, and I haven't had any problems. I haven't flashed new firmware or radio - waiting for 5.0.3 version instead. I'm using this rom with no-sense script and GO launcher - working great!

Device: HTC Sensation - S-off - Rooted - 32Gb sd

ROM: ARHD 5.0.2 ICS + no-sense

Kernel: Stock

Radio: 10.15.9035.02

Recovery: 4Ext Touch
[HTC Sensation] androidsense:
I would only say that the arhd 5 is a very good an fast Rom. I had no Problems.

[HTC Sensation] ryohazuki:
Trips AOSP ics rom gives me higher GPS than any GB rom I've used, so I see good things for ICS in the future. Especially when our kernel developers make some new and improved kernels.
[HTC Sensation] leeskywalker:
Hi after using arhd 5.0.x for a couple of days I'm really disappointed not with the lags or anything but the way HTC have totally f%#ked up ics, I know this is a test leak but I have a feeling this is basically what were gonna get .

Where's sense 4.0? Because in my opinion 3.5 doesn't fit with ics at all.

Anyway rant over I'm going aosp
[HTC Sensation] mista.maja:
been running trip's AOSP ICS for a few days now, and it's just amazing. i've tried a lot of roms to see which one would help me achieve the best fps in GTA3 and trip's ICS is clearly the winner. plus, everything else i've tested (except for the camera and BT, and i didn't get my VPN to work, aaaand the capacitive buttons only light up if auto brightness is enabled) seems rock stable and reliable. can't wait for a final 100% version...
[HTC Sensation] sacksyboy:
ARHD 5.0.2

I have been running ARHD 5.0.2and it really runs well. As with all new releases there are a few nags:

Setting background

Asking to close whatsapp after wake from sleep...Skype too.

Mms

Not close enough to shy me away as it still works so fast and smooth. I did freeze a few things with titanium so hopefully that is not the cause of some errors. New update will be even better. Hoping for wifi tmo calling.

Excellent job Mike.
[HTC Sensation] NODO-GT:
I'm interested if Amaze camera mods are working on ICS ROMs?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] ar4l:
ARHD 5.0.2 very stable so far but I started removing nonsense that comes with Sense like the market stocks app & widget
[HTC Sensation] speedyjay:
I've used pretty much all ICS roms available at the moment, and believe me when I say the developers have done an amazing job :-) but IN MY OPINION, I prefer someones rom (not sure if I can mention him here) the most because its ICS as it should be, with no bloatware from HTC etc. But this is my opinion and I'm sure all roms will get better over time once everything has been released from HTC etc :-)
[HTC Sensation] Bornnover:
I have just a simple question - is HDMI out available for those ROMs? Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] apkraven:
i tried senseless tripnice ics , tested it for an hour maybe, but still prefer miui much more, than stock ics. waiting eagerly for the miui ics versions to come up. don't want to bother with sense interface i guess.
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
4.03 ? ? ?

Hi, I've held off going to an ICS ROM but would appreciate comments on whether it has been possible to identify the differences between ICS 4.01 and 4.03?

I read that the CM Trebuchet launcher is for ICS 4.03, so unless Trip updates his ROM or unless there's a later HTC Sense ROM leaked, all Sensation ROMs will stay at 4.01?

At least until someone can show how to update ICS 4.01 with the 4.03 fixes?
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
I agree with you completely. People here think once HTC releases the official thing it will be a difference like day and night. Ain't gonna happen, same story as with 2.3.5 which was also a leaked testbuild but basically it was a more or less finished 2.3.4 Rom with Sense 3.5. Although it was "test" it didn't really run worse than 2.3.4 but it was also no real improvement. Expect the same here. What you see now is what you will have officialy in a few months, minus the bugs. I think there will be no more hardware acceleration than it has right now. And I doubt they wil invest the time until then to make a great RUU for once. 2.3.5 leaked ages Ago and although it was more or less finished it got delayed until ICS was out and that was it.

Just my 5cent
[HTC Sensation] Selech:
I would love to jump to ICS, but the current bugs seem to be too annoying even for me..

But I have a question! I can't get my contacts to sync.. And I haven't been following that much lately because of work, so is this a known bug in ICS? Or am I just unlucky or plain stupid..?
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
I just tried TripNice's ICS rom and I gotta say it is QUICK!

It's perfect. Everything works, the GUI is smooth, no laggs like the ICS rom from HTC even the Senseless roms were slower. Granted I'm still on the old HBoot and radio but damn it's nice and quick. If the camera worked, I would have made it my daily runner. Overall, this is an true AOSP rom, and it's quick and great, I'm impressed.
[HTC Sensation] lazybeast:
I want to go back to cm7 type roms so bad, but i use the sense camera too much...

i hate tradeoffs
[HTC Sensation] dark-byte:
Just loaded ICS from Insertcoin 4.05 on Sensation in the Uk,

only had a problem with the android.process.acore force close repeat popup.

fix that by deleting my google account, and clearing the htc stock contacts app

alos I lost all my phone contacts, but I already had a back up so I just imported from a vcf file.

its stable that is the main thing..

Fast, and responsive as always
[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:
Still no problems here, everything working as it should.

Plus, the new 1.5ghz kernel for non XE Sensations really makes it fly along.
[HTC Sensation] nydxlil:
kinda ... first try was

ICS Sensation XE/NON XE RUU 3.06.401.101 [Provided by RCTeam]

- it keeps on saying "Wallpaper standsede uventet" (danish)

- or Wallpaper stopped unsuspectedly.. or something..

restoring with other rom..
[HTC Sensation] SheldorTheConqueror:
It's good, but...

Mine keeps rebooting every few minutes. I'm not quite sure what's causing the problem. I'm using the latest ARHD, with the new radio image.
[HTC Sensation] terhiha:
I'm with InsertCoin 4.0.6 IceCreamSandwich and happy :)

Everything i use, works.

Only, I prefer to use Burgundy-skin, and therefor musicplayer doesn't work. But it's no biggie, because when I want to listen music, I change back to original skin.
[HTC Sensation] el_fixit:
Virtuous Inquisition and phone encryption

I'm also using Virtuous Inquisition :: Senseless ICS (4.0.1) since 5 days and it works great.

The only problem i have is, that i can't encrypt(dmcrypt) my phone over the new way of ics in the preferences menu.

Did it work by somebody? Didn't find any answers for this in the forum.
[HTC Sensation] lilei:
Has alot of bugs of course. But fun to experience the new stuff before it comes out.
[HTC Sensation] rswett:
I've been using Virtuous Inquisition since Christmas and it has been great. The only problem that I have had with it is mms attachments not making it to whomever I sent them too. The only fix that I have found so far for that is to use Handcent, which isn't so bad.
[HTC Sensation] real187:
been using stock xe ruu since it came out.

before tried ice/incert/arhd/virtuous and occasionally reverted back to check any improvements. :mad::mad:

all i can say, the stock ruu runs as nicely as the rest, if not better :confused:
[HTC Sensation] bsd-crack:
It would be nice if someone could post a checklist with the name of the rom's that have been tested and which faillures it had. also which version of the rom was used, and for which period of time the rom was running before the faillures were kicking in.

- Why invent a wheel if others did that already.

- appreciate the work of others and say thanks.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
+3 on the Virtuous ICS ROM. Great AOSP rom with almost no sense of sense :).

Great experience thus far on 1.4.2
[HTC Sensation] raydm:
i tried all the ics roms and all have browser bugs. browser is laggy and slow. i don't know if its a kernel thingi or hardware drivers not yet optimised. but it need to be on par with gingerbread before i will make it my daily driver
[HTC Sensation] Jedi2011:
Try Dolphin browser instead, way better than stock and works brilliantly with ICS.
[HTC Sensation] john21511:
I've been using Senseay XE40 and I like it a little better than the others. Also I'm using the 1.5 GHz ics kernel. It's running like a champ.
[HTC Sensation] taffypride:
Running Virtuous ICS 1.4.2 and its quick. Very quick.

Battery life was as good as on Gingerbread and therefore, unless I flip back over to MIUI, then I see no point going backwards to Gingerbread. Don't know what battery life is going to be life with the Anker battery I just bought and am running in.

Oh, and my local Vodafone shop actually want my phone back cos it has Android 4.0.1 on it...lol, and the Store Manager of my local Carphone Warehouse has also rooted his Sensation after seeing mine hacked :)
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Virtuous Inquisition is rocken with No Sense junk!
[HTC Sensation] leeskywalker:
Just another point on the aosp vs sense debate has anyone else noticed how much data sense based roms consume compared to there aosp counter parts.

sent from my ice cream sandwich flavored sensation
[HTC Sensation] gumbois:
I originally used the leaked RUU, but apart from performance (with 1.5Ghz kernel), didn't see much different from Gingerbread.

Thought I'd give a senseless ROM a try, currently using OnceICS 105j with Beats, pretty stable so far. Miss some of the Sense widgets, but otherwise, enjoying the experience.
[HTC Sensation] antijesse:
Virtuous Inquisition is my daily driver. It has a few kinks, but nothing I haven't been able to work around.
[HTC Sensation] TheUndertaker21:
I've tried every single rom out there. Ics I mean but they all look OK to me maybe because they are sense based

Everyone is getting cm9 alpha but where's our alpha:(
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
So far ICS is working great after doing the firmware update. I tried RCMix and ARHD. My prior results to doing the firmware update were not so good and I almost gave up on it until the released version came out, but the firmware update and Hawke84 ICS fix thread resolved all my issues and it is fast and smooth and I probably won't go back to GB-based ROMS again.
[HTC Sensation] sickorwuut:
OnceICS v1O6c

just uploaded the OnceICS

v1O6c sensless and its pretty good. Only thing i cant figure out is how to capture screen pictures. Also having issues with joining contacs that have more than 1 social link
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Try VolumeDown+Power, hold them for a few seconds and then you should see a flyout animation and then the screen will turn off. Hit the power button, unlock it and you should see a notification in your top bar for the screenshot.
[HTC Sensation] dparvin:
I am running Mike's rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

Very happy with it, couple of minor issues for me and I dont know if its the rom or ICS in general.

1) I find scrolling around the screen not as fluid as before

2) Battery life still not as good as I would like, still not much better than stock imho
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Try the ICS Problem Fixes thread, page 1.

Just have wi-fi problem according to region :( i want fix, i found the fix but cant understand how it works lol
[HTC Sensation] starscream1479:
im currently using an ics rom from virtuous inquisition im loving it , love the interface !!!..by far my fave ,..
[HTC Sensation] loki980:
ICS is great so far. It's finally in a daily driver state. Using MeDroid 4.1 (Samuaz's ICS ROM).
[HTC Sensation] Spanq:
I've been bouncing between various ICS ROMs just to see which one I like the best and I really can't decide. They all work really well.

I'm still waiting for the folks who are removing Sense to actually 100% remove Sense. It seems no matter which ROM you choose, there's still remnants of HTC's dialer. As a result, the dialer won't send the caller ID outside of the Android lock screen because it's still looking for the HTC one. Nobody seemed to be able to resolve this issue with Gingerbread, so I don't know how it'll work for ICS.
[HTC Sensation] eocdouble:
Using Revolution HD 6.0.1, so far its doing what I need it to do...haven't found many bugs but the most noticeable one is still the slow USB transfer speed.
[HTC Sensation] McPh1st0:
Using latest InsertCoin ROM (with ROM Cleaner). Loving it so far! Smooth as butter!
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
ICS ---- used LeeDroids...

VERY VERY GOOD battery life;

SLUGGISH when compared with Gingerbread;

VAST graphic improvement from Gingerbread;

A FEW bugs & FC's;
[HTC Sensation] darKpoiSonend:
Gallery

I still stuck on the Gallery thing, without my Gallery I can't switch to ICS..

I tried every fix there is, but nothing worked so far.. even formated my SD Card.. :(

as soon as there is a fix for that, I will definitely change.. just LOVE the UI of AOSP ICS

If someone finds out about something from Gallery.. please reply or pm :D
[HTC Sensation] darKpoiSonend:
Never mind, I use quickpic now.. loads faster anyways.. :D

I'm very happy with my Current Setup
[HTC Sensation] svcr0c0:
My post count is not high enough to post in the rom development section, so I'm replying here. I tried ARHD 3.6, 5.02, 6.01, Insertcoin 4.06, CM7 Alpha10, and Megadroid.

Except for the stock rom, ARDH 3.6 is still by far the most stable. I know others had better luck, but I can make almost any app (especially gallery and browser) FC almost on demand in all the ICS roms. :D So ICS mods are definitely not daily drivers.
[HTC Sensation] brett_c:
Took the plunge and installed ARHD 6.0.1 yesterday. Overall I like ICS and have had no issues with non-game applications. Unfortunately, 2 of my 3 favorite games are unplayable (Peggle doesn't work at all, Where's My Water has serious graphical glitches). Gonna stick with it a while longer, though, since I have a Kindle Fire now to play games on....
[HTC Sensation] cortexdk:
Love ICS

I think it's great im running on Insertcoin 4.1.0 it super fast :D

HTC Sensation XE / InsertCoin 4.1.0 :p
[HTC Sensation] dest4b:
for me all tested ICS roms seemed to be very fast graffix.

even the google navigation in the car seems to be more smoth and fluid.

so im waiting for real asop and ics based miui.
[HTC Sensation] decepticon:
I'm running Trips AOSP rom over at Modaco. Its the smoothest of any I tried and the 4.0.3 build is amazingly stable.
[HTC Sensation] oscarba:
I love ICS, but there are a lot of things that dont work on all of the roms that your are asking about.

I dont need wifi calling or thetering but some people do.

Take time and read posts.
[HTC Sensation] erhnamdjim:
My Wifi keeps disconnecting

I used Insertcoin ICS ROMs for a while but had a weird issue where my wifi would disconnect a short while after the screen turns off. I have repeatedly tried setting Wifi Sleep to "Never" in the Advanced Wifi properties but it had no effect. I've wound up switching to Hypersensation (which is wicked fast ^_^ ). Wifi aside, ICS was an enjoyable experience. It's just the wifi thing was a major gamestopper for me :-/
[HTC Sensation] Decado_PL:
I changed to ICS last weekend from GB, using ARHD since I learned how to flash custom ROM. There are some minor things like random reboots (both on 1.2 and 1.5Ghz kernels) but phone works fine.

One thing I dont like is new square-shaped toolbar, i liked default one from GB ROMs. I hope there will be possibility to have it on ICS.
[HTC Sensation] drivexcore:
ARHD all the way, was using insertcoin until yesterday when i spotted the 4.0.3 from ARHD.

Was a little wary about having to flash the upgrade for speed and stability but im glad that I did!

I'd still like an AOSP though in all fairness, sense seems to take away from the beauty of ICS
[HTC Sensation] Matico3:
I tried all three but my battery seemed to stuck on all of them, and I tried virtuous Inquision but that was laggy. So now I'm using Shensation: AOSP/Sense hybrid (basically just status bar, settings and camera) no lag, 16-20 hours medium use :D
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
That is fixed now.
[HTC Sensation] gumbois:
I've been running OnceICS for a week or so now, and apart from the occasional glitch (to be expected of course), I think I'd hold out either for a Senseless ROM based on the official HTC release, or go for an AOSP release.
