My favorite...

I have tried all of the roms. I have to say I hate the sense theme, but I have to admit that sense roms are the most stable and least buggy, and give great battery life. So I started with CyanogenMod9, but it had too many bugs. Then I tried Virtous Inquisition, but it wasnt smooth enough, I even flashed different Kernels... Recently I've been using the HyperNonsense Rom's by SpIder and he did a great job. But, I took his concept and flashed ARHD, trully best rom...and flashed it with ICS AOSP theme by Schizion, and flashed faux Kernel...I have to say this is by faaaaaaaaar the best combo...If you like AOSP then I find this combo to be greatest.

ARHD.... or gtfo!

Nah
[HTC Sensation] fuel3100:
i used ARHD last time but my battery life is not good..

i changed to extreme sensation dream 3 and its good.. thats what im using for more than 1 week.

now i will try hypernonsense coz i saw the free ram is more than 300+ 2.2 version with faux kernel in it.. i will try that..

Virtuous inquisition the most stable and good battery life for me..
[HTC Sensation] cichlidiot:
Many apologies, I didn't notice it was a copy of other threads. (Spend too much time in the dev forum and not the general forum)

I really love the CoreDroid roms because they just look beautiful and perform very well.

I got fed up of Sense for a short while but the sense-less roms I've tried are quick but not as good-looking and with these roms I've used the GO suite of apps & widgets to beautify but then the rom loses its identity.

These past couple of weeks I've gone a bit wild trying out diff roms.

ARHD and Elegancia are right up there with their looks & performance.

I really like how OrDroid is coming on ... updates galore.

Extreme Dream 3 is pretty sweet but no luck so far in installing Prime 3&5

Nice to experiment as BT is not key for me as a daily but Wifi tether is for tablet use.

Sense is whyI first got a HTC phone so looking for a rom or roms that take Sense a step forward.

That's all. Thx for your time.

OrDroid ROM SERIES Sense 4

I have to say OrDroid Sense 4.0 series by shnizlon( and of course contribution from many others for the rom) is one of the best in the XDA developers. Shnizlon has been very patient and quick to answer questions and fix any bugs in the rom that was reported by others. Some many updates in a week, it makes your head spin LOL :D. Well done shnizlon....keep up the good work mate.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
WHY?
[HTC Sensation] ycayir:
HTC Sensation

I know lot of sense 4.0 rom's coming out and this question has been asked many times but lately there are few speculation about one of the the roms got the Bluetooth working which might be compatible for HTC Sensation. Is that true? Does anybody have any info on it?
[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
Because it's just great and looks brilliant, used to be a big sense fan but once you ditch it for aosp (ok VI is technically still sense) and switch to another launcher you'll never look back. Virtuous team always deliver the goods.

[HTC Sensation] Big_Rich_1983:
I am relatively new to custom ROMs, but I use ARHD with the SebastianFM kernel and just can't fault it. Smooth, fast, bugfree (so far), not so far away from stock that it's to get used to.

A friend of mine was using OrDroid until he had a play with my Sensation, and that convinced him to switch to ARHD :D

I've seen people complain about battery life with ARHD, but it's more than good enough for me and certainly a vast improvement over stock!

Android Revolution HD....
[HTC Sensation] Leemur89:
ARHD Rom is the way to go in my opinion. Good battery life, smooth, no lag, stable, no crashes whatsoever..its just a great Rom. Use it arhd and maybe a theme ontop of that and there you have it.

[HTC Sensation] greves1:
much props to all the devs for their hard work. i like to test out different roms, such as opensensation, hypernonsense, darkforest, a whole bunch of them,...but i always come back to arhd in the end.

currently running arhd, used rom cleaner and installed shnizlon v41 theme, apex launcher. also testing out bricked v0.9 the last couple of days, seems good so far...

would love to use leedroid tweaks with the aosp theme...

getting a little tired of flashing. i took a break for a couple of weeks and stayed on arhd.

p.s. if cm9 official ever comes out and i can install htc_ime on it, i'll use that!

phone is getting close to perfection!
[HTC Sensation] bobbytomorow:
I've been using Vorbeth's CM9 and its been great lately, butter smooth and fantastic performance.
[HTC Sensation] x3xtacYx:
I'm currently using Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.1 and i must say it's a great (if not the best) AOSP ROM at the moment. It has all the standard features you would expect with a ROM, with almost no bugs.

I tried CM9, and it has a lot of cool features, such as holding the volume rocker key to change song (even with 3rd party players) or the status bar brightness control. But at the moment it is quite buggy.
[HTC Sensation] boesky:
OP: Different roms work differently for different people. Not all chips are made equal; heck, not all phones are made equal. ARHD - immensely popular but gives me the worst battery life of all. HNS 1.5 - declining into history, but I'm still sticking to it cause my phone stays cool as ice.

I personally dislike sense, cause I like Android the way Google meant for it to be. But, as always, to each his own.

Try all the roms! With Titanium backup, mybackup root, it can't be that hard.

Also, don't forget the usual stuff (suitable PD58IMG base, wiping dalvik, formatting all partitions [or not, if on opensensation], etc.)
[HTC Sensation] rebar71:
I've only tried a couple so far. I started with ARHD and I really liked it at first, but found battery life not so good for me. It could've been the ROM/kernel combination I was using. I tried Sebastion and faux's kernels with it.

I'm currently running Elegancia 3.6.1 with Bricked .858 and it's working really well for me. Battery is good, performance is smoking, and the look is slick.

I want to play with some AOSP style ROMs, but that will have to wait for the weekend. Right now, I got a combo that works very well for me and I'm not going to screw with it during the work week.
[HTC Sensation] goodmourning:
ARHD aside from the battery life
[HTC Sensation] bobbytomorow:
Well said, and I agree 100%

Try tons of ROM's, thats the fun!
[HTC Sensation] graymoment:
It's fine to discuss preferences

I really do not get the whole anti-discuss your favorite ROM mindset that seems to be so pervasive around here. For what reason is it wrong for people to have preferences and share them with others? I find these threads extremely useful to when I'm looking for a ROM to flash.

I find it no different than any other product that exists in the world. I don't want to try every ROM out there anymore than I want to try every wine out there when deciding on a wine to purchase, or ride every single road bike out there when deciding on a new bike. I like to try those things that come recommended by people who have more time and knowledge in that area.

I do agree with the statement that if you're going to recommend one item over another, you should have solid reasons that you share to support your preferences. Otherwise, it's not very useful.
[HTC Sensation] Sensation-al!:
The only real issue is that different roms work better for different people, so the only real way to know is to try it out yourself. Also, it is rude to the developers whoop work hard on their roms just to get them overshadowed by ARHD because everybody tells people to flash that. Admittedly, it's a great rom, but there ARE other options...

Experience with Virtuous Inquisition & WiFi Calling

I've been holding off rooting my Sensation to maintain warranty coverage and also because much I've read indicates there have been many issues with WiFi calling (T-Mobile USA) working problem free on the ICS Roms. For those of you that have been using and recommending Virtuous Inquisition, what has been your experience using WiFi Calling? Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] hunter890:
Because mike doesn't port ROMs. There'll be an ARHD with Sense 4 when HTC leaks one for the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] digidelia:
LOVE virtuous inquisition

from what i've heard, wifi calling will never be stable until TMOUS releases an ICS rom that they can base it off of.
[HTC Sensation] rebar71:
WiFi calling is a cool feature when you need to make a call and have no cell coverage. But until it's able to hand-off to a GSM tower when leaving the WiFi radius, it is pretty much useless to me for daily use.

I tried it on the stock GB with my wife just after we got our phones. She was on wifi calling from home - 20mb - I was at my office - 100mb - and call quality was horrible. Packets were getting dropped all over cyberspace. I turned off the feature on both our phones.
[HTC Sensation] swift2fly:
im a fan of CM7. ran it on my DHD and on my sensation. then i ran Opensensation(CM9). Now im running Hyper NonSense with the Bricked Kernal and Nova pro launcher and i love it! i get the AOSP experience with the ability to use HQ Camera, my pictures are the same, if not, better than the camera app in sense. GPS is flawless, get a fix almost instantly from a cold start. shortcuts are great..no complaints.

[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
I do not mean to disrespect mike whit his arhd rom but when i flashed the rom there was too many things missing which should have been there by default such as :

- Advanced Power Menu

- Toggles On Status Bar

Can't remember more but im sure there was a few things extra also...

Anyways took me an hour or so to set it up and i felt like it was pretty much the same as energy rom by nrgz8

As i said no disrespect or anything just my thought...

The most stablest I've found so far are :

- Virtuous

- Energy Rom

- Miui V4 was quite stable aswell..

Keep always switching between those 3 ^_^

I think the most beautiful roms do ELEGANCIA Rom Series with many mods / themes.

A good Sense 4.0 Rom is RCMixSmartDroid it's fast and it has tweaks.
[HTC Sensation] doc309:
would say elegancia 3.5.6 is one of top roms

both sense 3.6 and 4.0
[HTC Sensation] hunter890:
They're not supposed to be there "by default". Those are add-ons, which you can simply flash yourself if you want. The whole point of ARHD is having a ROM which is as close as possible to the stock ROM, and people can choose what other add-ons they want to flash.
[HTC Sensation] DJCodeBlue:
the correct answer is that all of the roms are great. But for personal opinion, I prefer "Virtuous Inquisition AOSP Senseless ICS".

Reasons:

very smooth/fluent feel

excellent battery performance

(using Anker battery and the battery has lasted LITERALLY 16 hours long with moderate usage such as lots of texting, some browsing, some calls, and mostly Slacker Radio music streaming with screen off)

Overclocked

Great support and updates

No HTC/T-Mobile bloatware that runs in the background

Plus, I like the original Android operating system because it doesn't come with bloatware and it has a clean slick look to it as well
[HTC Sensation] Praxbe:
yep sure AOSP is the better choice for battery lifetime but senseless ... when you've work with sense it's hard to return to AOSP ^^
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Yeah but I'd love some utilities loaded on by default but i guess personal choice..
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Virtuous Inquesition V4.0.2 beta released today! Very smooth & bug free...so far.
[HTC Sensation] hunter890:
The problem is that it takes more effort removing a mod than to flash it yourself. Of course mike could give us the choice of installing certain mods during the ROM flashing process, but then I don't want to download 500MB every time a new ROM comes out.
[HTC Sensation] rhishavphukan:
Ordroid 9 with sense 4 is by far seems to be the best. But still a little confusion over other ROM's.

Another vote for Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2.

- Butter smooth performance (sunspider scores in the 2000 ms, browsermark score of 90,000, antutu score over 6500).

- Really good battery life (8 hours with heavy use (no gaming) including 2 hours commuting).

- MHL / HDMI works perfectly, which is rare for a lot of custom ROMs.

For those who insist on a Sense ROM, OrDroid is one of my favorites.

Finally another person who shares my view. Would like to add that comparing ROM's is offensive to the people who make them, if one ROM has what you want, use it. If you dont like it, use different one, what could be easier or more simple?

I am also recommending that this thread should be closed
[HTC Sensation] webharsh:
I've moved across lot of ROM's from Stock to HyperNonSense, CM9, HyperSensation and now ViperS without much major issues. But because of lag and scroll issues on AOSP ROM's, I'm now back to sense based ROM. If not the best, ViperS is absolutely worth a try. Extremely customizable sense ROM. I don't really miss anything from AOSP ROM. Also OTA updates on this ROM is a treat :).

Hi all,

I am curious about the level of openess and documentation/open specs of the hardware of the Galaxy Nexus; his father, the Nexus S, have a discrete level of openess (read here), what about the latest Google/Samsung creation?

Thank to anyone could explain it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Its pretty much the same level of openness. You can find the data sheet for any of the hardware components and then tweak the kernel code to enable potential unused options. This happens all the time, a certain chip does many things but Google only coded for half of them.

In fact it may be more open than the nexus s cause Google chose off the shelf components like omap CPU because it has great documentation. The nexus s used Samsung CPU which didn't have that.
