I played around with this ROM for a little bit. A lot of nostalgia as it was one of the first ROMs I flashed for this phone in October 2011.

The ROM includes Faux123's Kernel 29. Let's just say that new ROMs have a lot to learn what speed and multitasking means. 8 apps were run simultaneously without 'restarting' and task switching was extremely smooth. As far as feature set and the interface, I am going back to 4.3.1.

Strange can't even boot it... Never had such a good multitasking on any rom, wanted to try

Yeah GB system uses very little ROM comparing to ICS and others; my brother has an android-based JXD gaming device with 512MB RAM, and when we installed a custom GB, we minimized Beach Buggy Blitz and the device was alive without an issue...! Daaaamn, my phone has more RAM and on Sense JB ROMs I was hardly able to even play that game! :-O

That is while running RR3 normally is tough for the same device when it is running ICS.

Android RAM management is screwed up.

Agreed! Great features are being added at a cost of making old devices irrelevant because they do not have RAM. I think it is screwed up because the coders don't have to worry about RAM constraints on new devices as much because the hardware is improving greatly. Modern phones already have 2gb or 3gb of RAM.

Here you go. :) Make sure you download 3.12 firmware which can be found via search.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1Un1XzVwRPSeGM3Z3VPMW9IYTA/edit?usp=docslist_api

If you decide to come back to ICS, JB, or KK, you must have latest 3.33 firmware.

    23rd March 2012 - Message from the developer here


    I believe that our Sensation can do a lot more / be a lot faster / and therefore we can be more productive than with the Sense ROMs.
    I also like to customize my own apps in a given ROM, so any simple/minimalistic ROM is a plus for me.

    I therefore present to all who like this approach my very own HyperSensation ROM release.

    HyperSensation is now also on Facebook! HERE

    Screenshots (HyperSensation):

    - Download links, changelog and addons and extras in post #2
    - Extras and other links (ie. kernel, addons, etc) in post#3
    - FAQ and themes in post #4

    What you get:
    - Simple, minimalistic ROM to be a good base for your everyday needs (those who like every app to be in there "out-of-the-box" should steer clear)
    - Speed tweaks to make the base to make it even faster and more responsive
    - Tweaks to make battery life even better
    - Tweaks to included apps (camera, mail, etc) to make the experince even more whole
    - Lossless JPEG compression for photos taken
    - GApps included so you do not have to install afterwards (Maps removed, but you can install Maps through the Market, and Talk from post #3)
    - Smooth scrolling in all apps (disabled scrolling cache globally trhoughout the ROM)
    - Always updated base to keep your flashing appetite full :)

    All other addons/tweaks are exactly the same in the two branches, its just a matter of personal taste


    Credits:
    - Huge thanks to Vorbeth who started the CM9 builds for the Sensation!
    - thanks to Pongster for the whole idea of creating a minimalistic yet usable build, I used to run his HyperDroidGBX when I still had my HD2... :D
    - thanks to nitr8 and insanity ROM (SGS2) for the ideas and a couple of icons/theme images
    - thanks to ljankok for the friendship in cooking
    - thanks to vladnosferatu for the tweaks
    - thanks to crypted for the AGPS patch
    - thanks to septix for the excellent banners
    - thanks to splder for the volume adjustments and the bootanimation
    - thanks to AndroidON for the smooth scrolling fix and the volume steps mod HERE

    ROM Releases

    1. When you are finished setting up the device, do a normal reboot and then you will have normal operations!
    2. I have deleted a number of apps so that the ROM can be as lean and minimalistic as possible. If you find you need any apps that I have deleted, go to post #3 (Addons and Extras) and you will most likely find the app you need there! :)

    FAQ

    Q: I get "Your device is not supported" in Market, even if I have LCD Density set to 240.

    Background:

    If your LCD density is NOT 240 (which is stock), then when you try to get an app from the Market, it will say "Your device is not supported".
    The bummer is that the Market App remembers this, even if you flash the 240 stock LCD density patch.

    A:

    1. Flash the 240 LCD Density patch
    2. Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All
    3. Select Market
    4. Select "Clear Data" under Market

    You can now download the apps...

    Q: I get FC's on writing any text, using the "M" version.
    A: Disable predictive text in Language & Keyboard settings, because to save ~10Mb space I have deleted all dictionaries from the ROM.

    Q: How can I have predictive text in the Minimalistic version?
    A: It was deleted to make the ROM as lean as possible. You can download the original LatinIME.apk needed in the Addons section in post #3. Adb push the extracted file to /system/app and reboot.

    Q: Issues with vibration not working? answer is provided thanks to SlwDrvr!
    A: Ok so for those that are having vibration problems like I am. Here's the fix. Settings > Profiles > Make your own profile or you can change up the default > scroll down to the bottom "Application Groups" > select the ones you want to change or have vibration for > so for example SMS you will see Vibrate Mode on the bottom, second to last, select it and choose ON. do the rest for the other application groups and vibrate will work. for sure.

    Q: How can I optimize battery life?
    A: Do at least 2 full charge cycles to really measure battery life: flash the ROM, charge to full, let it drop below 15%, charge to full, let it drop below 15%, charge to full, and then evaluate.

    Q: What dialer should you use?
    A: If you do not like the default dialer and miss the T9 dialer from Sense, the 2 best dialers are (both free on the market) Dialer One and TouchPal Dialer. I prefer Dialer One as that blends in just nicely with my black theme I am using.

    Dear All,

    It is with a very sad heart that I am writing this message.

    It has been an excellent few months now with a great crowd here at XDA and I have grown very attached.

    But life is changing, and so are the circumstances. I will be moving to a new company, a new job, but most of all, even a new country. Hence I can not keep maintaining the XDA threads, the ROM, or even cooking/devving.

    I say goodbye to all of you now, and if anyone wants to continue what I have started, please PM me.

    All the best, and keep up the teamwork which is exceptionally great here at XDA,

    Kristof
