Which one should I use. I'm on gsm
i`m running crypt0`s ruu on my e3d and so far it`s great! no random reeboots, optional dual core support and my homescreen scrolling is silky smooth even with every screen occupied by an intensive widget. the rom also has more features. i would recommend kamma`s kernel for the lag free governor or chad`s anthrax kernel for features. however the decision is up to you
what is your battery life for this , if i may ask ?
The newest out there is leedrroid 5 for the stock sense u are used to. I would recommend that rom. Loads of extra tweaks

I've noticed that AOSP roms that don't support 3D use up less display in the battery. However roms that do support it use up about 71% battery by the end of my day. Aosp or other non 3D roms use about 40-50% I don't use my 3D at all. I use the camera about 4 or 5 times on daily average in 2D mode

It's due to being stripped of sense like CM7 was on the EVO back in the day along with alot of other AOSP roms.
It still had 8mp camera working on most roms but sense was stripped so it made the battery life last a hell of alot longer also depends on the kernel. Also lack of eye candy
Other then that there good roms for battery life and kernels.
I also know several Sense based roms with the 3D carousel taken out. This causes a drastic performance increase. So the above poster is right. The eye candy of Sense causes it to use more RAM and processing power than an AOSP rom, in result, draining your battery faster.
Most people either love it or hate it.
Thanks. I'll look for one of these roms or a way to disable some of the sense features. I'm currently running SupraRom 2.0. And I'm pretty satisfied with it. I'm waiting on ICSense to be released or even AOSP. Thanks for clarifying things

Hey guys, I've seen that lots of people have been having confusion between the ICS roms and whatnot.
1. TMOUS ICS LEAK
Stock Sense 3.6 with Ics 4.0.3
2. Android Revolution HD 2.x.x
Same as TMO Leak only with improved performance and battery. There are NO visual changes whatsoever in what I've seen. Completely stock look.
3. Energy ROM build April 27 and forward
Based on TMO Leak. April 27 build is much like Android Rev HD, only with some tweaks put in by NRG. New build that is on the way is themed and has more tweaks. If you haven't used the Energy ROM before, expect a heavily themed ROM just like the earlier GB builds of the ROM.
4. Speed Run 2.x.x
Currently in beta testing. A senseless ROM, with ICS lockscreen and Stock ICS look. If I'm not mistaken, Sense launcher/Rosie is removed and replaced by another launcher, more specifically, Trebuchet or Nova for example, which are built on the Stock ics launcher with more features.
5. RevolutionizedNonSense
Based on ARHD 2.1.0. Similar to Speed Run, with much of Sense removed. Rosie replaced by Apex.
Hope some people can make good use of it

Can someone please post AnTuTu scores of the different versions. I am probably going to flash one of these (Energy probably as I am used to his GB ROM) soon as I am tired of all the TMobile crap, and I need the quick settings that NRG has in his version.
I am currently on stock ICS, rooted with ext4 installed. AnTuTu has given me scores around 6500 (last run was 6558) and I have seen someone on AndroidRev has a score of 6666. If any of these ROMs are significantly faster, I will go with that option. Anyone on Energy, please? I cannot post in the Android Dev section because I have never posted much here. But I am absolutely loving ICS so far, and might even try and get into development since I have a little bit of coding skills.

I hope u don't base which rom to flash by antutu benchmarks. Honestly, it doesn't take but 10 min to do a backup and flash a rom. I always download each rom and make a backup so I can just switch between backups. It's always best to try a variety and see what u like best.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense, and what I would normally tell other people too. I just want to change to something with a high score for a few days, to see if it really feels any snappier, before flashing Energy for regular use .

Not to whore out my rom but.. well wait, I kinda am.
You can add RevolutionizedNonsense to the list- it is based on Android Revolution HD(which has a ton of tweaks you should note on the OP) but has all of the sense removed, and uses aosp(Lockscreen,Browser,mms,gallery,email,calendar,etc) a lot like the speed run does(I just chose a better name )
But so far it has been super smooth, everything works.. and because it was built on top of mike1986's Android Revolution it is snappy as hell, and so far really good on battery life.
Really, I couldn't ask for a better rom unless I made it myself.. which I did.

I want to root and install a custom ROM because I use my phone alot for music now and I would like the beats for all mod. I am also interested in the HQ camera. I like Sense 3.6 how it is. I have not used sense 4.0 and dont know if I need that. I want all bloat removed. One of my main reasons I havent rooted yet is because I dont want to have to redownload all my apps from the store. If I just back up my SD card will I be fine?
I keep coming back to Vigor360 because it does everything you are asking for (-camera) and is smooth/fast. I have tried a lot of ROMs and highly reccomend it. Check out Titanium Backup to backup your stuff before changing ROMs because you'll need to wipe your phone!
I think you can flash/install something separate to upgrade your camera. Not sure.

IMHO, I would go with ViperRez. It has the beats all mod and is debloated. Sense 4 is sooooo smooth on that ROM, and the Venom tweaks give you all the options that give ViperRez an AOSP feel. It should definitely be a top contender for you to try.
Sun's viper kang is really really smooth. I'm running it as my DD for a week and have had no problems. I'm using it De-sensed and I get thirteen hours of life out of my battery. Easily the nicest Rom I've flashed in the past month

CounterStrike 2.2
CounterStrike 2.2 is pretty awesome. The most stable senseless Rom (the other ones my rezound has had issues with GPS and Bluetooth consistently working) my S-ON Rezound has experienced. IT has DSP Manager but no beats.
If you like Sense, VIper Rez is super smooth. After I traded my Galaxy Nexus for the Rezound, I had Clean Rom 1.4 DE for a week or two and then Viper Rez became my default ROM for 2 months until CounterStrike. I prefer senseless aesthetics, but Sense can be smoother and has better support for EAS.

CounterShrike is actually an AOSP ROM, not a Senseless ROM. Before we had AOSP, Senseless ROMs were ROMs that had a bunch of stuff stripped from it to make it look like AOSP.
i use rage 1.9 now very snappy
with firefox beta and rebooter
sometimes need to clean the memory cos lags suddenly appear
there a lot of gr8 roms out there
if u have the time try them u will figure more about ur taste
If I get a senseless rom, is the camera going to be bad? One of the main reasons I didnt like using senseless ROMs in the past was the lack of camera support

There is a big difference between senseless ROMs and AOSP-based ROMS:
Senseless ROMS are actually based on the stock Sense ROM, but have many aspects of Sense removed, and are often themed to look like AOSP. These include Adrenaline, NeoMAX, SlimROM / SlimKANG, and CleanROM DE.
AOSP ROMS are based on Google's original Android code, known as AOSP (Android Open Source Project). Most AOSP ROMS are based either on CM (CyanogenMod) which is based on AOSP, or on AOKP (Android Open Kang Project), which, in turn, is based on CM. AOSP ROMs include CounterShrike, AOKP-Neo, Rage, AOKP Nightlies, and Paranoid Android.
Sorry if that was more confusing than helpful...
Now to answer your question, I believe all Senseless ROMs keep the Sense Camera (although they sometimes have the AOSP camera icon and theming), so the camera will be the same as stock. AOSP ROMs have the AOSP camera, which is worse than the Sense camera, but not by that much - the quality depends much more on the phone's hardware than on the camera software.
TLDR - the camera in Senseless ROMs is the same as in Sense ROMs; the camera in AOSP ROMs is a little worse.
CounterShrike is the best one out there. However I recommend 2.1 because I've heard the latest versions have issues with video playback. 2.1 has been running fine on my phone for weeks now. Also, for improving smoothness (and battery life strangely enough - maybe this is due to not constantly ramping up/down the CPU?), use the "performance" governor in performance settings.
What recovery should I Use?

There are a couple out there but AmonRa is the most tried and true IMO.
A whole thread about which recovery is the best:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929347
Note in particular all my posts regarding the superiority of TWRP.
Also note that a majority of the posts supporting AR base their arguments on falsehoods (such as that TWRP has bugs/imperfections, that TWRP can't flash VRThemes, or that CWM still has a charging issue), or on nothing at all.

The only reason I stick to Amon over TWRP is compatibility with vrthemes, and it seems like backup and restores are quicker. I don't think one is necessarily better than the other, its all personal preference.

As I said in the post you quoted, TWRP can flash VRThemes. Con's port could't, but FlyHalf's build can.
And I'm not sure about backup / restore, but on my phone, TWRP wipes and flashes much faster than AR.

Thank you for teaching me something new, then. I didn't know that had been updated. FlyHalf is a monster lol.
Ecliptic Rez
I think the Ecliptic Rez rom is by far the best!

Thank you for the information. It is helpful to me. :good:
Hey, so I was messing around with roms, and ive never really DeSensed because I thought that Sense was pretty good. recently ive been playing with some launchers and found Atom which is really good. Now I was wondering, does DeSensing have any other benefits besides just allowing me to use Atom? Like does DeSensing help battery life or anything?
Thanks!
Sense has alot of processes running in the background. Most of them have little impact on system resources or battery. But when you add them all together, they start to be more apparent. If a rom has been properly de-sensed, it can save a considerable amount of resources and battery.

I came from elegancia custom stock look rom and decided to try it desensed. I have never looked back. I'm running nova prime as a launcher and have many things running in the background and my phone still has a lot of free ram memory and battery life is way better.
You can always look for widgets if you want or like the weather/time widgets from sense.
