SENSE or Pure Android - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

A thread was created about this a while back but now times have changed so i wanted to ask for opinion. Sense or pure Google for your liking?
This is my first HTC device and I decided to run stock on this phone and its great! sense is nice and its has replaced many third party apps that i would use on AOSP ROMS. But i do have complains about sense or more particular, Meanrom 4.1+.
I know this device has a large screen and all and battery is beefy but on regular use, im getting about 11-12 hours on MeanRom. I was expecting 16+ hours. its not bad but coming from an LG with an S3 CPU, i feel like i havent moved anywhere with battery life.
Also, The memory seems to be low. Im used to having 300+mb RAM free all the time, now im on this and im between 100mb and 200mb And one more thing is that my screen brigteness doesnt stick to my settings and my cpu control app doesnt stick with my Gorvernor.
What do you guys think? im having a love hate thing here but having S-on, i dont want to constantly switch roms

Yeah, AOSP JB rocks for sure but I Think i will just search for A sense ROM with great battery life. Im missing the HTC image sense. The images on AOSP JB images look bad compared to the image quality on sense in both rear facing and front facing cameras. Also, im having proximity issues. What Sense Rom has had the best battery life in your usage or tests?

So what are are thoughts about ICS so far?

What the title says.
From what I read, the leak isn't running quicker than meanrom. Personally I'm just going to wait for the official since I rely on roaming. What do you guys think about ICS so far?

Its amazing man. I love it more than mean Rom which was ny favorite sense 3.0 rom. Battery life is amazing and I did update firmware and am having no problems at all. I love it hah

I feel like ics is amazing and you're missing out on alot! Don't flash the firmware and you shouldn't have an issue with roaming, as far as I know. ICS has brought alot of nice improvements. I say flash it and just give it a try for yourself man.
I went from mean to clean and I love the Ics and sense 3.6 combination. Battery life is definitely better

Wow I didn't know it was that much of an improvement! I was on the mean thread the whole time and everyone there is pretty much loyal to Mike and aren't switching. He's a good dev and they won't switch till he releases one himself

Oh so the firmware is the culprit for the roaming issue
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Definitely an improvement, battery life seems to be better than almost any GB rom I had (aside from CM7 & og Anthrax RLS9). It's nice to have working ICS roms with WiMax though!
All I'm gonna say is I can never go back to Gingerbread!

I have yet to mess around with the official ICS ROM due to my carrier not providing it yet. But from what I have seen it looks awesome and can't wait to test it out. I am currently playing with the ICS NonSense RC1 ROM by VladBelsky, I love the stock look and feel of ICS.
like ics. dislike sense 3.6. wish we had 4.0
I think people tend to exaggerate about how much better it is.
It's a definite improvement, but, if it had the same menus/look as GB.. You wouldn't really notice much difference. It's still worth using tho
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using xda premium
It breathed new life into the Evo 3d. I still dislike sense but it will be enough to hold me over until the next Nexus.
Aside from my personal dislike of sense it does run great though. I wish they didn't ugly up the notification bar and change around the settings but for the most part sense doesn't detract from the ICS experience. Battery life is exceptional and it seems to perform better at stock clock speeds than any other rom I have used @ 1.7ghz.
I roamed a bit yesterday and don't seem to get data while I'm roaming but that could be an issue on my part or area.

I don't know about you but I was using newts sense 4 amazing and almost fully working in beta state...flashed a 3.6 and while it seemed a little faster its horrible compared to 4.. then I flashed back to gb and I already hate it...doesn't seem as smooth and seems "clunky" IMO

It seems to be much smoother, especially the browser. No reason to not upgrade really, except for the fact that most Rome are missing some minor features.

If you've flashed the virgin mobile firmware, thats why.
i haven't had much of an enjoyable experience so far, i don't really have signal issues unless you include occasional LoS but no notice in decrease of signal strength.
I'm mostly disappointed with the mobile network settings missing that would allow me to enable data roaming, i have flashed Chubbzlou's Booster but that begins to FC and have performance issues after a day or 2 with the annoyance of Bluetooth issues.
not to trash one ROM, they all so far have the same issues and i can't find one to make my daily.
i am looking forward to sense 3.6 as it looks really good and has some great features.
i will politely and contently await the sprint leak or the official release, hopefully the firmware release included with the sprint leak will fix my "virgin mobile" banner

You guys preferr Energy or Quicksense?

I went from the old Energy April Release to Quicksense 7.0. I must say Quicksense is fast! Even scored higher on Quadrant. And audio is good! Reason I left Energy was because I had a few minor glitches, mainly in the BT.
Cons though... mainly for me, Leedroid, doesn't have it. I like my 5x5 icons, I like my battery bar on top, and a few other minor things I can do with Energy rom. Another con for me, I can't enable sound effect for the weather, weather widget crashes every time. ;/
The new energy rom just came out and I plan to try it out! Waiting for the download.
I was just curious what you guys prefer and why?
I don't do quadrants..... But quick sense is the best rom I've ever felt on the Amaze on either OS when it comes to performance...
I also liked CapRomCE a ton too...
Very solid

Oh... lol. That sounds really great. I would give it a try right away.
I literally thought you are using stock ROM at the moment (your signature).
I had 1 major issues and 1 minor issues with Quicksense.
Major is was that I could not get music to play through BT using my car's stereo. It would just go through the phone's speaker, even when told it to use my car. My minor issue, I need my 5x5 drawer lol. I love that!
Does anyone know if Energy is based on 2.14.531.3?

Ive ran the new energy rom for a couple of days and it was pretty good speed wise. Battery life was decent. Im now running the new quicksense or quickdroid 8.0 and this roms seems soopa fast or smooth. Ive had good battery life with quicksense 7.0 so im waiting to see how this new version pans out. the best battery life ive had was with eclipzeRemix's Super Sayain rom. But thats when i was on the 531.1 leak.
ive had the best battery life on my rom also

Greater performance=more usable phone at low frequencies
Low frequencies=better battery
my friend has a Gnex and said he flashed it and it made a huge boost in smoothness. If we found out any way to incorporate it into sense immagine how smooth our phone would be
I dont see how ICS could be any more fluid... ICS with sense fragments still left in it runs perfect even at 800mhz. I don't see how it could be any better!

Faster performance has the potential to increase battery life. If you can get the same task done in half the time, you return to idle faster, and this conserve power.

Best Rom As of Today?

I've been on Viper since launch...
Haven't tried any of the others. Visuals are important to me as well as smoothness.
Mean ROM.
Mean Rom.
Sent from my super HTC Evo LTE
Mean rom is a beast
any rom would do. there all pretty simple at the moment, nobody has took their rom to the next level for this device.
Many devs are still ROMing for other phones and haven't journeyed to the LTE just yet.
only time will tell. And Ive flash just about all of the roms out now.

I will agree. My daily rom is MeanROM but I've tried them all and I think they're pretty much all the same. Only thing that's separating them are tweaks, they definitely all look the same. From what I hear the VenomRom will be the one that separates itself from the rest, when it gets released.

I've tried Mean rom and Viper. Both excellent roms but I chose to stick with Viper as my daily driver for now. It just feels a bit more familiar to me since that's all I used on my 3D.

+1 with mean rom for sure. its got by far the most support and updates as of now. but when the viper rom comes out whenever that may be is up in the air but when it does i think i will be the best. go to the one x page and check it out....but mean all the way right now without a doubt!!!!

I had ARHD 6.6.7 previously. It was a stock experience with nothing new. Also my battery was terrible on it. Yesterday I flashed ViperS 1.0.1... And I must say that it's by far the best rom I have every seen and used. It's packed with so much goodies! So much customization options that you'll never get bored. And on top of that, it's also very fast. The venom hub and tweaks app is revolutionary.
So far, the battery is also doing great.

if u like the customizing tweaks u find in AOSP roms like cm9 and aokp then u should look forward to charmeleon rom, it will be getting a major update in the coming days
using the AOKP right now. dont really like any of the sense options there are right now. and i like the AOSP lockscreen too much. haha. waiting for that chameleon rom guy above was talking about. hopefully we can get a good CM9 Port going.

nah man, I am just a tester and flasher for my local peeps.
Dude you should try this rom. they've made this rom very light and now i usually have around 175 - 220mb FREE.
just 3 bugs so far.. which i have already reported on day one.
1- Facebook Calender Sync doesn't work.
2- Gallery and Music app fails to load and search files. ( most of the time ) its a pain though :x
3- No Predictive Text in the keyboard. ( you'll have to use the ****ty SwiftKey for that.)
I've flashed Mean rom... All I noticed was 2% drops in battery every few minutes.. And it looked like the same stock ics layout
What's so special about It
We need roms that have boot animations and tweaked batt life roms that tweak the ui something extra ordinary
Stock suits me for now until I see a tricked out rom one that physically just looks different to the eyes

Individuals are unique, that's why I always recommending users try something they like for example:
Aosp: fourth bar, speedrom etc.
Sense: nrgz or arhd, etc.
It's honestly better to try various roms than for someone to say so, he may like it now cause you said so but a later he tries another and think so of that one too. Then what?
sent from a smooth place where my fingers trace across the screen to see your face and make you scream!
Project Butter/Speed Rom is by far the best ROM I've tried so far. I would love to use FourthBar but not having a signal indicator really bothers me. Once craigut fixes up some of the bugs, I'll probably be giving that a try again. Knowing how great our devs are here, I'm sure it will be soon! If you're looking at Speed Rom, you might want to wait for version 7 comes out soon, so you don't have to fix everything back up again after you just settled in.
Tried android revolution HD and it was very good but I've been using energy for a while now and I love it. Patiently waiting for a CM9 or CM10

Yes, it has the blue rings spinning boot animation..
And if you search my posts in that thread, I have posted multiple tweaks you can make to the init.post_boot.sh files that make the kernel more battery friendly.
Remember, it isn't just the rom, it is also the kernel in big ways.. use one of the latest faux kernels, tweak the files as I just mentioned.. depending how extreme the changes are you make, you could have over 2 days of mostly standby, or at least 14+ hours with some pretty heavy usage.
Just know, if you are spending all day playing some 3d game it will always kill your battery no matter what rom/kernel you use.. the same as on stock.
