We already have Froyo (CM6) but not with Sense.
Desire is getting 2.2 Froyo with Sense Update this weekend.
Also Evo is getting it Ago. 3 but that one cannot be ported or I'm wrong?
It can be ported to Hero?

Is not about Widgets, I like more Sense Apps than the Vanilla.

Which Sense apps? There are great replacements for almost if not all of them.
I loved Sense and would not flash an AOSP Rom, but once they released the first build of CM6 back in June I flashed it and kept it on my phone for 3 weeks. I installed launcher pro and beautiful widgets along with some other apps that I thought were decent like extended control widget. I got sense deprived and flashed a sense rom back on, but found myself reinstalling launcher pro because I like dock a lot more than Sense. And people can say that they can make a ROM with Sense just as fast as froyo are lying. I tried everything I could to get it as fast as froyo but was unable too. I have DC running right now, because I am working on porting something over from the EVO. Once everything is working on CM6 I will flash again.
The only thing that may be good is to get the HTC framework working with froyo and then you can still use the HTC apps, but other than that you can find alternative widgets that are close to or better than the HTC widgets

IMHO, the only one Not replaceable is the VVM. (and no, GoogVoice is not a great alternative/just as good, frankly. the number forwarding shell game, redundant emails, txtx, etc, annoying. and simply not as responsive or "easy to use") I hate to say it, but it was this feature that sold me on this phone. of course since I have found other reasons to love it.
everything else can be replaced easy. (in fact, msg me w/ your email, I can send a pack...)
personally not using Froyo just yet, looking forward to a Sense port as well... but I can wait.
Sorry guys but the topic here is not if you like Sense or Not...
The Topic is....
If it is possible to Port HTC Desire Froyo with Sense that is going to be released this weekend????
It can be ported to Hero?

golly, sorry to have totally sent your thread into offtopic there, buddy, but to answer your question I think:
well, it really depends on what phone its being released for... as far as I know, whats coming out is for the EVO, Desire, etc... and as darchstar said in this thread:
darchstar said:
u guys r such n00bz . we can't port an htc evo rom cuz its optimized to run on snapdragon armv7 arch. it will never boot with those libs. our hopes for a 2.2 sense rom would be a froyo legend rom, or a froyo espresso rom, as those both have libs optimized for armv61/armv5te

and the desire also runs the snapdragon, so... no.

No porting the desire is not worth while. The legend will be the one I and several other dev's are waiting for this will get ported to the hero.

New ROMS based on what??? We have HTC Sense ROMs for Eclair 2.1 and Froyo 2.2 and AOSP CM 6.1. What else are you looking?
Personally I hate visiting the other device forums because everybody and their brother has 'cooked' up another ROM (mostly just new themes or added favorite apps). IMO who has time to stiff through all the various ROMs and threads? I find it much easier to review 3 different ROM threads and try to help others than to try and go through 10 or 15 threads and seeing messages such as 'well this worked on this ROM but it doesn't on that ROM, why not?'
OK, I'll get off my soap box now...
I agree. Plenty of good variety in the ROMs we have.

There's nothing wrong with that actually. Sometimes it's a good thing because there are more people developing towards something greater. We have 1 or 2 guys doing all this work. There are some pretty badass ROMs for the more popular phones out there. If we had more people developing and cooking, we'd no doubt have something better than what we have even now.
Screw those giant phones.
But a little more ROMS would be cool, we just need more people with the Aria.
It's not a bad phone...hah.

Not too sure, as I have only had the Aria and used the two ROMS.
it's not a bad thing that we may only have 3 roms, but they are actually good quality roms, not just thrown together, and they are constantly being updated, but it would be kool if they had more help with them. Although i wish they had some people creating or porting themes, if i knew how i would, if anybody wanna help me learn, i wouldn't mind contributing by making themes for the aria, cause i kno i'm not the only one wishing they could have a theme to try out

I recently rooted and installed CM6.1.0RC2, and only thing I'd say it's missing is Flash Lite compared to Sense. Wish there was a way to get Flash Lite on CM, sadly not possible. Still loving CM though. Might test Sense again when there's an official Froyo update from AT&T and attn1 has taken out all the bloatware.

Wait... why wait for the official ATT rom? It's going to be near identically the same as the Gratia ROM with 2.2 in it. You can go download it and flash it now.

Agreed. Waiting for the AT&T ROM to be released and then having someone remove the bloatware is pointless. What you will end up with is available now as Liberated FR07...

That's right folks- get your supercharged Froyo sense goodness now with the newer kernel source released by HTC for the HTC legend. Everything works as far as I know, except for the built in wifi hotspot app for which we have replaced with the working Wireless Tether app thanks to the work of shakerhero. Final thanks go to attn1 and jznomoney for their hard work on the CM kernel, ladios for bundling up the kernel, trackpad wake fix, and wireless tether in a single, proper package.

Just gotta flash it yourself. Been running it for a couple of days. Prior to that was using the CM6.1 kernel for OC and trackball wake.

what are the differences between the liberated rom and cm 7 nighties? what are the advantages of the two and which do you prefer?
One is froyo and the other is gingerbread. I prefer CM7 I guess I got use to the awesomeness that is the CM projects.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
I prefer liberated FR0008. I tried 6.1 and 7, however, I missed the HTC widgets that those two lacked. Also the cyanogen mod ROMs were laggy on my phone, just slightly but noticeable.
liberated also has sense and CM does not. LPP has most of the sense widgets though. I prefer CM7 by far over liberated. You just have to decide if you want sense or not. I couldn't stand the sense ui so I tried cm several months ago and never looked back.

Click to expand...

it's a personal preference...if you want android for what it truly is, go with one of the CM builds...if you want android for what HTC cosmetically made it with their sense ui (i.e. pretty widgets and programs and this and that) then go with one of the liberated roms. There's no reason your phone should be laggy on any of the ROMs to be honest, so don't mind what that dude said about it being laggy. If it seems so, overclock it slightly. CM7 now has a built in overclocking utility. Basically, if you want customizability to the max go with a CM build. If you want to be restrained by HTC and what they offer, go with one of the liberated builds. As I said in the beginning of my post, it's personal preference.
oh thats awesome. i actually have been using cm7 and was just curios what other people prefered. im sticking with cm7 too. thanks for letting me know about the built in overclock, thats quite helpful since i had been using setcpu instead. works great but can you explain what the first three presets are: interactive, conservative, and userpace? i understand the next three but not those ones

I personally cannot but I'm sure someone can.
I know conservative just scales up a little less aggressively. Not sure about the other two you listed though. Setcpu had a description for all the different governors types though.

The OP asked specifically about CM 7 nightly (AOSP 2.3 Gingerbread) vs. Liberated . CM 7 is currently a Gingerbread 2.3 development project while CM 6.1.1 is the official Froyo 2.2 AOSP project release. Liberated FR series is also Froyo 2.2, but it has HTC Sense instead of the native Android interface.

No...CM7 is built from the 2.3 source. What brswattts released for CM6 was THEME, CM7 is AOSP (Android Open-Source Project) 2.3.

I would love to have sense on my Gingerbread as well. But there are alternatives to sense also. Search Beautiful Widgets, Beautiful Animations, Beautiful Live Wallpaper, Beautiful Home Weather and install those.
I use em instead of Sense and I am growing quite fond of them myself.

First of all, welcome over to the HD2, Trib! I hope you are planning to cook for us, it would be cool to see what you come up with
I like the Beautiful Widgets (et. al.) but Sense has so much more to offer, like the Skins and FriendStream. I've recently switched to pulse from the sense News Widget, so I'm not married to the Sense widgets, but then there is more to Sense than the eye-candy.
I've tried and liked CM6 and CM7 ROMs in the past, but I was an early-adopter of Gingerbread and was turned off by the lack of available stuff in the Market. I plan to go back (err. forward) some day, but I am going to wait for Sense this time.
Thank you for the welcome, mate.
Hopefully there will be Honeycomb for us some day. I was thinking about waiting to cook then; there are too many ROMs right now for us in the Android HD2 marquie.
I do have some idea though. So if we never see Android 3.0, then I will show what I have in mind.

You are right about those widgets, but as some one else said,sense has much more things to offer.. For example people (phonebook),and smart dialer.. Those 2 things are only things that are keeping me away from gingerbread or CM builds.. If there is a way to have sense like phonebook and dialer,i would switch to ginger or CM instantly..

Google has specifically stated that Honeycomb is for tablets only and the UI wasn't intended to work on smaller screens. Engadget said something about a guy here on XDA hitting a settings switch in the SDK that turned Honeycomb into a smaller, phone-like aspect without the major UI stuff.
I'm not so concerned about Honeycomb, except that it threatens to fragment Android (tablet vs phones) right now. I think Gingerbread could be perfect if Google could get BT HID licensed without having to pay for it.
thx for the answers. i hope htc publish sense for gingerbread soon. it was very fast on my hd2.
i like sense. some functions a very comfortable.

I digging it too. Had to switch the font, but otherwise, TB is hella responsive. We'll see how the battery life is after a full drain and recharge.
IMO Its all about preference. You gotta ask yourself if y like stock android or sense (among other overlays)
Personally. I havent experienced a rom smoother than Ice Glacier yet. I was surprised since CM7 was less than half the size but smoothness was way behind Ice. IMO Sense roms are more optimized for our chipsets since thats what HTC works on most so im Sense all the way
It really is all personal preference. Especially with a phone like this with so many options the differences in performance are going to be nominal. I personally love CM so that's what I am running. There are people that love sense and there are ROMs out there for that. A better thread for you would have been things you are looking for and we could suggest the best ROM suited for your needs.

Well as you know Sense based rom specially IG is not actually full rom as it just modified and comparing to current CM7(AOSP2.3.X:GB) its 1/3rd of the port size. But as IG heavily depends on Sense based framework it will be little smoother but you can make CM7 smooth also IDK what people talking about it lags as if I even run at 368mhz(max)/245(min)/ondemand (gov) I get NO lag.

Thats the beauty of AOSP and we are thankful so who cares what Google is doing maybe by next year HTC will port Sense based on 2.3 and we just got AOSP2.3.3 port last night on CM7NB11.

Last I heard the CM updater for Rom Manager Premium wasnt updating for some reason but it could be fixed by now. That was yesterday. Unfortunatly I only have the free version and it only allows for DL of CM7 RC1 so i cant confirm if the other is working again.
Lol that's what he was talking about? How hard is it to grab the current build from CM repository, it takes just 1 sec. I have cURL.d setup on my server it grabs it automatically within 1min as I set the eCrawler auto updated every min.

Really depends on how you want to style your phone. Do you like Sense? Do you want a vanilla flavored rom?

+1 / with carlos2384 ... Jaywan's Nexus S is hands down my favorite ROM so far on this device. Jaywan - udaman! I'm pumped about v2.2 for Nexus S !!
...I did just flash the new Liquid Metal port (RoyalLiquid) and it's quiiiiiite interesting and unique....since it appears it's froyo based, I'm not sure it's gonna steal my heart long term from the Nexus S ROM but at least for now, it's REALLY nice to have options!! (especially when they're as cool as this)
Thanks again Jaywan, Royalknight6190, and TeamRoyal !
