If you’re thinking of flashing an upgraded version of Android to your HTC sensation, you have few quality ROMs out there to choose from. Some of them are based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat, which is the latest version of Android at the moment of writing.
Instead of going into details about each ROM and making this a really long page, I’ll give you xda-developers link to each ROM where you can learn everything about the ROM and even ask a question about it. So here’s a list of HTC Sensation ROMs I liked the most. These will work for any version of Sensation including HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE except HTC Sensation XL.

If you’re flashing your device for the first time, you may need to root it and install a recovery. There’s thread on XDA explaining how to do that. How To | Unlock Bootloader | HBOOT S-Off | Flash Recovery | Root. Please read it at least two times before you continue.
Waiting for Kit Kat with Sense 5, I hope Viper can do it soon.
It’s a big ask. I’m not so sure about it. Let’s wait and see!
