Like many other peoples i started with stock(duh) moved to liberated and then to CM6. But today i did some researching and the new sense is pretty cool, hopefully will be added to liberated 2.2. My question is, will you guys be moving back to sense 2.2(hopefully with new sense) or staying with CM6?
I'll probably try Froyo Sense when it gets put in Liberated, but I'll probably stick with CM6 unless I'm completely blown away. I do miss parts of Sense though.
Yes. I know that people are quick to dismiss Sense but I like it a lot, especially after using Motorola phones, that are garbage.
I have used every ROM available for this phone and Froyo with HTC Sense would be perfect for me.
I keep going back and forth between CM6 and a ROM that I tinkered with that is like a hybrid. I really hope they have an official update soon or a ROM that combines everything.
Is that asking for too much?

I want froyo sense mmmmmm.
As long as CM upgrades to using the new kernel thats supposed to be released with Froyo I'll stay loyal to CM.
I'd rather have sense -
For me it will depend on if they add in extra features into the Sense that aren't likely to be added into CM.
CM has been a blessing for this little Aria phone, but I do miss Sense UI.
Does this mean htc's 2.2 for aria is around the corner?:

If given a choice, I'd definitely prefer 2.2 Sense!
I'd go with Sense as I like the UI and many of its widgets.
I enjoy some elements of Sense, as they're very carefully designed and work effectively. Conversely, I will only install a ROM if it's as open and customizable as CM6. Android is supposed to be about a more open system and I don't understand why these companies can't understand the needs of power users.
Sense 2.2
I hate to admit it but I miss the pretty. I also carry the iEvil and it's tough to pull out CM6 and not winch a little. For all the UI haters, there is a good reason big companies spend tons of money on the user experience. Functionality can be enhanced with a great UI.

*crosses fingers*
According to the specs I saw the HTC Bee has a different (inferior) CPU.
There should be enough guts in that ROM to strip out the hardware specific bits and put in Aria ones.
Attn1 -- looked at that yet? Prognosis?
How come non android native (IE:Hd2 ect ) can get froyo sense and we can't ? Not *****in because I can't make it , but someone can . Maybe a good write up on how to build a rom is in order .
I tried and liked the CM6 mod and everything that went with it, but as I dont have an iPod or anything, not having the radio to listen to is a dealbreaker for me.

I was posting that as a possible indication ours is soon to follow. That rom is for a CDMA phone...which means we can probably forget about porting that to the aria.
Ok so here goes i'm thinking of working on a NAND ROM based on 2.3.1 (Gingerbread) Build: GRH78 FOR THE HTC HD2...but guess what...... i'm gonna try and throw HTC SENSE into the mix and see if i can get them to play nicely together....since this could take some time i just wanted to know if anyone is interested at all???? Just Post and ask if your interested......this ROM is going to based off ofMDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.3 with MDJ's Kernel: MDJ S10.3 OC (or whatever new Kernal MDJ releases between now and when i get this rom complete) and the Desire HD Sense including the Sense Camera...(THESE ARE MY GOALS FOR THIS ROM)I Will Be Posting Frequently Since I Will Need Testers to find all the little bugs that i miss....
( I WILL ONLY POST ROMS THAT I THINK ARE SAFE...BUT THERE IS THE CHANCE THAT IT STILL CAN BE BRICKED SO BY FLASHING MY ROM YOU KNOW THAT YOUR VOIDING YOUR WARRANTY AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE )
EDIT: Im Gonna Try My Hardest to have a Version posted so everyone can play with it by 01/15/2011 - 01/16/2011....
EDIT: I just sent a message to cortulla....mainly if he has any tips or tricks that might help out with this build....01/14/2011
EDIT: Ok I'm sorry for not posting for so long i haven't forgot about you guys...i'm still working on this rom..its harder than anticipated...plus having the free time to do it gets tricky...work is having mandatory overtime since the iphone is being released on verizon...(SCARED MUCH AT&T????)..SO JUST WANTED TO UPDATE AND SAY I DIDN'T DITCH THIS PROJECT.......02/03/2011
Thanks Everyone and remember we couldn't do any of this if it wasn't for Google, Cyanogen, Cotulla & (DFT), MDJ, Markinus, gauner1986, danij3l, gpc, LeTama, Rajko and others...and if i forgot to mention you im sorry just yell at me and i'll be sure to add you to the list =-)....

Also very interested...
And I'd like to be a beta tester.
Totally interested in this. Gingerbread has come along a great length in the last copuple of days. Latest stock release dated the 14th shows working lights and usb! Would be awsome to have sense built on top!
Please work on it man
Good luck. It's almost impossible; most of sense is dependant on the HTC framework and most libraries, which are in turn interdependent with the android version they run on (2.2). You pretty much have to replace the whole build with 2.2, which, in effect, makes the build a 2.2.
It would be easier to add to 2.2 the keyboard and animations from Gingerbread, along with the launcher. It's close, but it's not really 2.3 either.
Good luck anyway.
for me it's enough to have the desire hd cam on gingerbread. will it ever be possible to provide only the hd cam tool?

It's hardly possible to get sense rosie.apk (the launcher) working on stock android... (afaik nobody has done it to date)
plus I bet its impossible to do it on a different android version.
Yet I would be interested.

Why?
Use Camera 360 or a similar app. They do the same (may look worse but who cares?)
(maybe no facial recognition - yet do you really need that?)
it seems to me that Gingerbread mostly enhanced aosp anyways, it tweaked the UI and didn't really have that many enhancements.
If you could just port the Gingerbread keyboard, icon set, Nexus S LWPs, and the screen-off animation to a Sense build then you basically have it.
(may look worse but who cares?)

yep, and that's exactly what i want: a good looking camera app. technically i'm satisfied with the gingerbread cam, but it looks awful in compare to hd cam app...
I'm dreaming of it !!!
Bring it on!
I'd love to give sense a try on Gingerbread!
2.2 Sense ?
Sense HD would be cool but I imagine more work
I'll look forward to it !

sure man it will be revolutionary start .... good luck ...
Absolutely impossible. You need a HTC leaked ruu I tell you that. Unless you are a fremework wiz. If you are, 10-90 chance. Good luck. You may make history with it.

Are there any Sense ROMs that are CM-based for the Hero?
My girlfriend has a Hero that I've got rooted running LiquidSense right now (see sig). It's running pretty well, and she likes the interface. Early on I tried installing aospmod to see what she thought of it. She was not a fan. So CM is out of the cards for her. Moreover, I'm not a fan of CM since it seems to be pretty unstable overall. She needs her phone for work. It needs to be stable. And I really don't feel like I should have to update her phone with nightlies just to have something that's been upgraded since last Spring.
So my question is: Are there any STABLE Sense ROMs for Android 2.2 or 2.3? From what I can tell, any development for the Hero is sticking to CM7. I see that there's a Hero theme for CM7 now, but she wants the full Sense experience (incl contacts, etc), and not just the visuals.
There are a couple of 2.2 roms, but I don't think they are complete. If you want a full and complete sense rom, liquid is about it.

i too use my phone for work and there are stable versions of the CM variations, the nightlies are for the most part unstable.. the sense integration was cool, but stock android you can do all of the same by installing the apps that integrate the contacts, which essentially is all that HTC did with sense, they just used their own apps (which arent as good).. my wife was a huge sense fan, but after i got her to try something other than sense for a while she came to realize that it wasnt the awesomeness that it was toted to be.. aospcmod (which is android 2.3) is incredibly stable, and there are ways to make the phone look like sense, but in all honesty i dont believe that sense was ever meant to run efficiently (its too fat) on the hero, and they have come out with newer versions of sense that would be better suited for the hero but we cant get them.. like ranger said there is a 2.2 version of sense out there, but pretty sure it isnt that stable.. and the other sense products are just stock, but are "optimized" (meaning they just took some crap out)..
thanks for the response guys. I'll revisit the AOSP roms and see what I can do.
When Mike update his base for the ARHD rom, a lot of feature/mods needed to be be updated. like themes etc.
I asked a theme developer to update his theme and he asked me why should he still be udating sense 2.1 when theres already a sense 3.
I thought of that, even though we dont have an official sense 3 release for DHD, but most dev have achieved a stable sense 3 roms for DHD.
I can easily swap roms, but am a good fan of mike1986 and would like to make a request for a sense 3 based ARHD. since everyone is flashing sense 3 mods, we can all as well beg for a sense 3 rom.
i understand its a challenging request to make but i started this thread to ask other intrested users to support me. please vote
and hope mike and his team would put this into consideration
hit thanks if u like the idea
the idea is to keep this close to stock and as stable as possible. i'd rather have a reliable rom that functions properly than a bunch of flare that causes issues. mike and team have provided the proper OPTIONS to add these elements to the rom if one chooses to do so.
I'd say that's a rather bad idea, since Sense 3.0 was never designed for this device, is still unstable and certainly slower.
ARHD is not one of the experimental ROMs, it stands for stability and performance.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Sense 3 sucks. It doesn't matter what you say it slows the device down. The only way ARHD should move to Sense 3 is if there is an official update from HTC with Sense 3 included. Otherwise it is Sense 2.1 all the way baby!
I beg to differ. Im on virtuous unity, and its stable as hell! What is this criticism based on? U say this and that bout sense 3, but have u tried a sense 3 rom?

designed, mike can design it to work on any cpu, thats why he is the best, thats why this request.
even if there is no switch, he can still make a new rom, to add to his catalogue of roms
Like others have pointed out, the concept behind ARHD is to keep visual stock and to improve the performance etc. If you would like sense 3 goodness, flash the addons or simply move to another rom.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
mike has already answered this!
he WILL move to a sense 3 base ONCE HTC RELEASE AND OFFICAL DHD SENSE 3 UPDATE
until then he wants to stick to a non ported offical base, who can blame him! it runs so slick!
at the end of the day its his personal time that is taken up developing arhd for us, and this is why we like it so much! if you dont then move to a ported sense 3 rom
arhd is one of the best roms. i would suggest to keep one as close to stock as possible and one seperate arhd rom with sense 3.0, so once its perferct we can all flash
i agree unity rom are really niice !!

No. Sense 3.0 was released on phones that have dual core processors, but it really doesn't make a difference. All of the Sense 3.0 stuff, I bet, will be mostly running off a single core.
It's just a matter of porting and optimising for the DHD.
As to whether or not ARHD should move to Sense 3.0, no. The whole point is that it's a ROM that runs off of the latest stock base. It is supposed to feel stock, work like it's stock, and run reliably like it's stock. Because for the most part, it is stock.
If you want Sense 3.0, you have two choices already, RCMix3D and Virtuous Unity.
I am also an ARHD fan but now im using Virtuous Unity, its stable, ok not as stable as ARHD but its sense 3...
sense 3.0 is cool but ARHD is maded for ver2.1 and this step may cause troubles...

Sorry... you guys missed one feature difference -> DOLBY..
I bought this phone mainly for Dolby + HTC
Sense 3 dosent support DOLBY so a no go from me...
Other than DOLBY sense 3 is a good ROM to be with DHD

flashing the add-ons won't eat much time if you really want a Sense 3.0 feeling to your ARHD Rom...

This. This is what I have done. All you are missing out on without Sense 3.0 are widgets (only Photo Grid comes to mind), the camera with HDR (which you can use on the latest base without problems, though you are downgrading the framework doing that) and 3D homescreens (which by nature have a low frame rate).

Hi guys
Was wondering what kind of Sense 3.5 rom you guys are using and why.
I'm on RCmix runny 4.0 atm, but it seems that the rom died. Thread is closed and nothing going on in the android syndicate forum... While its still a good rom i feel like there is still room for optimizations, and as new bases are coming out or are already out i really want to a rom that provides updates from time to time (doesnt have to be every week ya know )
So what are you guys using?
I am using, as you will see from my signature, Virtuous Affinity. Like RCmix it's not being worked on at the moment as far as I know, but it does say on their site why.
It seems since ICS that 3.5 has sort of been dropped.
There is no best rom only best for you.
A search would have shown you this.
