I'm running the above ROM after trying a few customs which were bloated, buggy and unreliable. It's just the stock 2.3 ROM with root and performance is great!

Sense is a bit of a mess for beginners (e.g. MIUI is a lot cleaner) but it's a very reliable ROM.
[Desire General] a_person:
Looking through the Desire forums, a lot - possibly most - cases of bricking the phone arise from people trying to s-on their phone, and/or running an RUU.

Yes, you only hear about the problem cases but even so, personally, I wouldn't try to s-on unless you really need to.
[Desire General] Hoochie_Coochie:
Agreed, go with a pre-rooted stock rom.

Plus with stock 2.3 you'll run out of memory for apps pretty quickly, so a rom that uses sd-ext would be best

I've always been curious how much 4G speeds vary from place to place. I travel a lot for work, but lets face it, Sprint coverage maps are pretty much a best case scenario or an Opium induced fantasy at best. Post your 4G speeds with a screen shot, (pics or it didn't happen), please no flaming. If you don't have 4G in your area, please don't troll! Hopefully Sprint will get you covered when lte rolls out.

Real simple, get speedtest.net. Check your 4g speeds.

Take at least 3 tests to show average.

[HTC Sensation] matt95:
First of all you have to try all roms and then go for the best one and the one who fits better to you... I can't say how to do it... Everyone is different :)
[HTC Sensation] AngryB:
all rom's on xda are cool!¨:)
[HTC Sensation] Zeustopher:
One thing that I did when I first started choosing which rom to put on my Sensation was ask myself a few questions:

1) Do I want the phone to feel the same as it does now or be drastically different? (ie keep Sense [same as stock], no Sense, AOSP [Android Open Source Project] or MIUI)

2) Do I want to use a very popular rom or go with a much smaller, lesser known rom?

3) Am I T-Mobile and plan on using Wifi calling?

4) Which looks the way I want to have it look? (ie Themes, extra addons, etc)

5) Do I want something stable or something cutting edge?

6) A rom which has just been released in its first version or a rom that is on version 3 with 25 previous updates?

Asking myself those questions helped narrow things down for me.

The other thing I would suggest is try a few. Look and find a few that use the same firmware version as you are currently on (so you don't have to risk flashing back and forth between firmware versions). Download them and try them for a few hours (or a day) at a time and see what you think. The first time I "caught the romming bug" when I first flashed I chose ARHD because it was popular, stable, and very low risk. Right away I flashed several others such as InsertCoin, CoreDroid, Virtuous, etc and each had things I liked that I now use to determine what I want.

Ultimately for me, I use mine as a phone for texting and phone calls. I decided after trying many that I wanted it to be a popular rom that was reliable with no problems major problems.

I hope those questions help you out a little as you start making your decisions.

[HTC Sensation] Part Five:
I want whatever's closest to AOSP/CM9, but with everything working and running quickly. The only answer for that is the latest Hyper Nonsense.
[HTC Sensation] cocoman93:
there are two major categories of roms here, the ones with sense and the ones without sense. i tried pretty much all of the roms and i can recommend you virtous inquisition when you prefer a senseless rom close to aosp (android open source project; stock android) or the insertcoin rom when you like sense and the sense apps / widgets. (i currently use insertcoin and it is frequently updated, offers an amazing battery life and a very fast and stable performance. same for virtuous inquisition)
[HTC Sensation] 8thsiner:
Well here are some preferences of mine...Perhaps you can narrow down three or four first choices.

Well I would not know the difference between sense based and not right now, so probably should aim to get close to it and slowly experiment outwards...

I want completely stable, the xe is fast enough so don't need faster (for now) but I do want themes capability. I like a very personalized interface. And ideally would rather make my own, but doubt I could without software for that like I had on my K77i.

I don't particularly care about popular, but I suppose popular does indicate stability and or other major benefits. I would not risk a new ROM I think.

I use mine, for everything, much more than calls and texts, and would use it to read a lot. So in that sense I do need low power consumption. Movies mostly at night with lowest brightness, but some times videos during the day too, such as exercise programs...

I hope not to catch a romming bug, I have had the phone only a few days and it's still not got all I want organized into it...It takes a lot of effort to set thing up right, at least for me, so I don't want to do that every couple of weeks...Mind you when I have the apps I want and calendar set up and what not I suppose that won't be so hard.
[HTC Sensation] Snake_skw:
if you're going for the ics aosp feel then you should try both hypernonsense and virtuous inquisition and then decide which one you want to keep :)

as someone already stated - you should ask yourself what do you really need and it should be easy then...

for instance i need a stable room,ics looks,everything working and as few system apps as possible(only those which are required for a rom to function properly),no live wallpapers,no unnecesary ringtones and simillar so i chose hypernonsense :)
[HTC Sensation] Part Five:
HyperNonSense is everything Virtuous Inquisition is, but without all of the glitches and with significantly increased speed and fluidity.
[HTC Sensation] GazaIan:
So the actual CM9 builds aren't doing it for ya are they?
[HTC Sensation] bobbytomorow:
When choosing a ROM I typically look at the bug list first to see if there are any show stoppers then its on to the comments posted to see what the general consensus of the ROM is.

Really though, I do a lot of sampling to get a feel for what ROMs I like best and narrow it down to just a few then flash between them depending on mood really and whether or not I feel like running AOSP or Sense based.
[HTC Sensation] 8thsiner:
It looks like I am going to go with hyper nonsense first to see how that pans out.

I have to say though, I have read the guide three times through and skimmed another dozen times, and honestly it's a little hard to follow for a noob like myself. Are there are any other versions of the guide to do all this?
[HTC Sensation] Zeustopher:
This guide is one of the best ones I've seen (it is specific for arhd but steps are basically the same for all roms with ics base):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472298http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472298

It.is scary at first bit once you do it once it becomes a lot easier. Just take your time the first time, double check you've got the correct files, and then take a deep breath. LOTS of people have done it and I'm sure you'll be just fine.

[HTC Sensation] 8thsiner:
Apparently that is a very god guide, flashed with success, though I am having troubles with it, not aside from the fact that Titanium has been giving me issue hanging lots on certain installs, and now certain games crash upon loading past the main screen. and other games I now have touch issues, randomly it seems as it seems to freeze control for a few seconds.

ANd I am right in understanding now that my firmware is upto date I ca flash any ICS based rom?

I think it was the firmware issue that I missed in the hypernonsense rom thread, and that is why it banjaxed things to bits...

I am still looking at other roms bbig time like, I want go launcher as my base and I think the ICS base takes up far far too much space, I am getting lag with ARHD and not even all of my things are back in place.

The other issue I have is now I need to clean up my phone, 16gb card and I have barely 2gb left for all the different back ups...I only have 4gb or so in my documents folder which is where I keep nearly everything from pictures, music, videos and ebooks etc...

I think it will be easy enough to clean up some things, But for those apps that persistently bother me, Is there a good clean up tool, for destroying apps, plus data???Preferably a super user app with batch automation???

Hi guys,

My wife is getting a Sony Z, and giving me her old HTC Sensation Z710e. Ofcourse I will be giving it a custom rom asap! Already ordered a new 1800mah battery and a new digitizer screen, but now I have to choose which custom rom to put on it...

Can you guys help me choose?

My current phone is a Sony Xperia X10 mini, and i love it to bits! I'd love a little bit of the same user experience on the sensation ;)

What I would like:

good battery life (new battery)

good camera (?)

no useless apps (some sort of light rom?)

I like the look and feel of a stock android phone (so AOSP based rom?)

if needed, I would like the phone to perform VERY good (performance on demand, tunable kernel?)

I'm thinking of the Sultan Kernel with Hyper Nonsense ROM, would you guys agree?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Wow you are spot on!

I thought of recommending you cm10.1 kang or something.. But the good camera won't be a pass in this (hands down sense 3.6 camera is the best).. So your choice is perfect except you'll miss the latest version of android (jellybean)

Btw you should use sultans sense kernel as hyper non sense is still sense based but 99% sense stuff removed

Hello,

maybe someone can help me. I got ICS from HTC Elevate, and... it's little bit buggy, but IDK if this is bug or not - in quick access bar (when u finger down the screen) I don't have enable/disable wifi button, and gps too. This was very cool thing in GB ROM, but it's not on ICS, it's normal, bug, or... not enabled? Can I repair this? Enable? These switches are very helpful. Screenshot attached - there is only (from top) mobile network, hotspot, bluetooth, airplane mode, task manager. On above this i have WIFI, but there is no way to simply switch it off or on, i have to enter wifi settings through this

Hey fellas,

Got my hands on the SGP Crumena Leather pouch, which is SGP's attempt at making a pouch for our beloved Galaxy Nexus. This is made with vegetable leather, which both smells and feels great. The inside is covered in a suede material that adds protection & prevents scratches.

Check out the full review below for all info;

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tawne:
looks nice but not the product for me...

Thanks for the review. Im wondering though will marks easily be seen with this? As my experience with this leather color scratch marks are easily seen and they bother me big time.

Thanks for the video review!

I thought the pull tab were a bit rubberized so it will pull it self just like iPhone pouch from belkin, cmiiw
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ploone:
During the time I've used it I've noticed no issues, the leather seems tough but it may be prone to scratching.

What about time when someone is calling? Does this magnet interrupt anything on the screen?

Is GPS fine as well?

Had bad experience with case with magnetic button and I don't want to waste some money to buy product which won't satisfy me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ploone:
Relax, you'll be fine. The magnet is very tiny, so it doesn't interfere with GPS, NFC or the screen. It was made strong enough to hold the strap tightly, that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewlim:
Thanks for the reply. I ordered mine already. Im wondering if u can still hear rings and txts with this pouch on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ploone:
You can, depends on how you place the phone inside. If it's top first, you won't have any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noel_leon:
I just ordered this. Despite the review.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulCayard:
I received my SGP Crumena Black Leather Pouch few days ago and it is very good:

- fit is OK

- leather and seams are strong

- ring volume is OK if you insert the top of the cell first

- magnet is very very weak: it shouldn't be a problem for sensor of the GN. However it is strong enough to remain attached to the pouch

- interior of the pouch is very good.

To be honest, it's not so attractive (from an aesthetic point of view), but I think that this is the best protection for my GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsabasid:
Hey guys, for those of you who have the case, is there any way of making the notification led accessible, eg placing the phone head first. Does this also improve speaker volume? Thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulCayard:
Yes, it improve speaker volume. But led is not accessible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsabasid:
Thanks. Might get the Bugatti skinny xl after all that has a cut on one side that makes the led light accessible.

He's kinda had his heart set on a new iphone, coming from a 3GS and a Mac user.

I think he'd be smart to make the jump now to Droid, and if he was able to pull the trigger i think he'd never look back. He can get a new Skyrocket refurb for $150 less than the 4S he wants. He's broke so the savings alone should be huge for him! But you know how it is when you get your mind set on something like this. He's also pretty savy, so i think he'd figure out everything he wants to do. He thinks iphone will sync better with his mac and everything he wants to do already.

Can't really say much. You yourself said he already has a fixed mindset. Tbh iPhone does have the advantage when it comes to syncing.

Oh sorry, nevermind, iPhone SUX!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Some people will want the iPhone no matter how much you tell them about alternatives, they are buying it based on brand loyalty only. But here are most Android device advantages:

Hardware:

-Replaceable battery

-Expandable Memory (microSD)

-Non-proprietary charging/usb cable (microUSB)

-Better specs for cheaper than iPhone

The OS itself allows more customization with widgets, launchers, keyboards, etc. So even if you hate the default look it can easily be changed without rooting/flashing. Adobe flash, even though its being discontinued, is great for the full internet experience at least until HTML5 deployment catches up.

This probably doesn't apply since he has a Mac, but I hate iTunes on Windows. It feels bloated and runs useless background processes wasting resources. I keep it off my computers. I'm not sure how iPhones sync better. I can download apps from the market to my Android phone from a browser. I sync music with a small batch file that I made which uses xcopy to sync the two directories, its a lot faster than iTunes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
I guess I'm in the minority here but if he's used to iphone and mac, and got his heart set on 4S maybe its best for him to get what he wants rather than what the majority think is better for him.

As a mac and older gen iphone user he is used to that and it is easier for apple products to connect together than android with apple, if he isn't looking at other phones he is probably not ready to make a switch anyway.

the iphone is a good product if you are into a limited scope of activities and do not want to learn how to use something that is a little less intuative.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
- iphone's ugly looking waterdrop theme, lifeless, static icons, the entire interface is from the past and feels cheap - like a toy. ice cream sandwich is lightyears ahead in styles und functionality.

- caged. man you cant do anything. my droid remotely controls my dslr (iphone does too, with a laptop in between, duh), locates cables in my walls when i need to drill holes, measures my sleep patterns and wakes me outside REM-phases or sends messages into REM for lucid-dreaming/astral-travel, etc. android is full freedom, everything the device is capable of android allows. iphone is a brick, i'd be bored to heck playing angry birds all day.

- it's inability to change keyboard. most iphone users i know haven't even heard of swype. they need ages to get simple texts done or they reduce their typing to a minimum. i laugh when i see them sweating hard tapping out texts - it's a stone age thing to do really. so apple decides what's good and what's not, you have to bite the bullet and use a typing technology that was never meant to be used on a device as tiny as a smartphone. it's keyboard renders it use-less.

- multitasking on android is awesome. droid's getting real-time facebook msg's, whatsapp, skype calls, voip calls, mail, bluetooth walkitalki, company mail, dropbox, just about every service in the net. everythings coming in nicely through subtle push-notifications. personally i have stopped using countless of programs on my laptop and the browser can go screw itself, phone is collecting everything with ease wherever i go. iphone users are not even close to that experience, again coz apple has crippled the device. they argue battery power, but what the heck, one day or two at max is fine, recharging is fast.
