Can recommend a good screen protector? The stock screen protector makes the display grainy, and got bubbles at the corners.

i'm using ARHD XE + sebastianfm 1.5

huge improvement over stock rom, my antutu score was 53xx on stock, jumped to 6500 on ARHD (1.5GHz).. nenamark 2 score 53 fps. score could be higher, coz i'm using a cikai class 4 microsd.

and Beats audio is nice smile.gif

sebastianfm vs faux123 vs bricked, which kernel has better power management?

s-off isn't required to flash rom and recovery. mine is still s-on because my hboot version is tricky to s-off, so i flash custom rom by following this guide

Using pengasus 2.5 with sebastian kernel 1.5 instead of bricked.. i found that there is a huge improvement for my phone, much more smoother than bricked 1.4.
*
sebastianfm = basically stock kernel with overclocked CPu and GPU, so it's supposed to be very stable
bricked = optimized for power management
faux123 = optimized for performance

i've only tried sebastianfm & bricked, Antutu & Nenamark 2 benchmark scores are higher on sebastianfm, but better battery life on bricked with badass CPU governor.

how do you measure performance..(using bricked kernel)

even when i underclock my Sensation, to 972mhz playing game like dungeon hunter3, real racing 2 everything is smooth. but ui is a bit jerky??

or use 1.56GHz everything is smooth but play temple run / brave still jerky like hell.

or just based on benchmark score?
*
nenamark 2 for GPU benchmark
antutu for general benchmark (CPU, 2D & 3D GPU, RAM, I/O, SD card r/w, battery also can)

maybe the problem with temple run:brave is the app itself?

guys
How to install ?
Download ROM (Download link in 2nd post)
Download Gapps: http://tinyw.in/Ko5N
Make sure you are on the newest ICS Firmware
Boot into recovery
Nandroid, Nandroid, NANDROID!!!
Wipe data/factory reset if required
Install TouchCream.zip from sdcard
Install gapps.zip from sdcard
Wipe Cache And Dalvik
Install kernel of your choice, Bricked, Faux or TamCore etc, cuz stock kernel eats battery like an american eats burgers tongue.gif
Reboot (first boot might take a while)
Enjoy!

how i do that 2? in bold?
by using which file?
*
You need to flash/install 4ext recovery first, then do those bold steps from inside recovery.

Check if you have HTC sense account, and remove it, it's known to gobble battery juice even when inactive

Settings > Accounts > HTC sense account > Remove account.

The 3 kernels that I flashed individually and used for few days each and noticed that : -

1) Sebastian Kernel v1.5        Both Core Online and max freq 1.5, drain battery bit fast

2) Faux 008b8 v5                  Both Core online and we can set our own max freq, it eats battery like water..

3) Bricked v1.4                      Only one core online and we can set oour own max freq, battery consumption are ok for me..

But both Faux & Sebastian Kernel are really fast , no laggy or hang  or no reboot but for Bricked kernel laggy and I have encounter 3 occasions of reboot..

Any1 faced this problem.. As per XDA forum, the latest ViperSs Rom got some issue in Bricked Kernel v1.4..
*
For my bricked kernel, I set minimum freq to 384 and that seems to make the lag go away

These links may help, but can be very confusing

To root your official stock ROM, read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632553

or you could just simply flash a custom ROM, because all custom ROMs are already rooted. to do that, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861

For beginners, I suggest Android Revolution HD. It's like stock ROM on steroids. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

I just got myself a htc sensation, and I was reading regarding on the custom rom for it, so far, most people use android revolution hd, vipers room, insert coin and elegancia, I am curious about the difference for each of it? only summary is enough..sorry for all the trouble
*
main differences

arhd - sense 3.6, vry few built-in tweaks, the feel is very close to stock rom
vipers - sense 4, lot's of built-in tweaks, can use custom themes to change icons
insert coin - i duno, sorry
elegancia - comes in 3 versions: sense 3.6, sense 4, and sense-less (meaning you can use 3rd party launchers like go launcher etc), good number of built-in tweaks though not as many as vipers, can use custom themes

you have to try them all to know which one fits your taste. choice of kernel is also very important.
