Try both to see which one suits you more.
Virtuous Inquisition is more to the AOSP side, And it's stable as stable can get.

CM9 Is more on the AOKP side, Full of customizations but there are a few minor bugs.

They're both good. If you really love customizing your phone, I suggest you go for CM9, But you can't really say no to the smoothness of Virtuous Inquisition.

go for Virtuous Inquisition or HyperNonsense. CM9 still has a lot of minor bugs that need to be worked out. i have a feeling by the time CM9 is 100% complete, i'd probably upgrade to a new phone by then.

sent from the Penh.

Virtuous is more stable than any other ROM I've ever tried, looks great and it's fast too. Gets my vote. The only thing it's missing in my opinion is CRT animations.

Simply if you can handle some things not working 100 percent correctly, use Open Sensation as it is faster. If EVERYTHING must work, use VI 4.02.

Both are great roms.

This is wrong. VI is no where near AOSP. It just simulates the look. CM9 and AOKP are built on AOSP.

I think CM is the solution for longer term support, but I rely on my phone for work and I need stability so I've been on Inquisition. Opensensation is on rolling updates so if a particular image gives you problems, don't get discouraged--try another one from a different date.

I am with OpenSensation now and it's getting better all the time. VI is OK but to me it's like trying to eat soy beef.
This. Subtle little hints of Sense left and right. Granted it's patched now, but for example the dual usb dialogs. The sound when adjusting the volume. Etc. My hatred towards Sense drove me FAR away from these ROMs despite using VI for more than 90% of my daily use. Forcing myself to AOKP now.

Actually is smoother than VI in my case. I'd have all sorts of funky errors usually triggered by browsers (yes, plural, Chrome Mobile, Stock, and beyond) having to do .. something. More or less the ROM would bog itself down to getting about 1 screen refresh every 20 seconds.

AOKP hasn't done that to me. Yet.
Ironically, I'm prepping to flash the stock TMOUS leak to see if it's any better. Doubtful, really.

I'm on VI and that has never happened to me once. I don't get any crashes or slowdown at all, so I'm not sure what's caused it for you. Did you add any mods to it which could have caused it? Oh, and the sense USB connection screen is gone, that was removed a couple of ROM builds ago.
