I am currently running SkyRaider's Vanilla RC3 and LOVE it! I am looking for a new ROM to play with though. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Virtuous 2.7 running Kings #4 kernel is what I'm rocking right now, if you're into a Sense-based ROM it's quite good

CM6 is a must of you don't like sense like me
The only thing I like about sense is the clock and as you can see below I've got that covered

I tried an aosp rom the other day, Ruby. It isn't quite stable yet (random reboots throughout the day) but its an interesting change of pace from a sense-based rom. The super smooth scrolling is really nice too!
In the end I went back to SRV due to the instability, but I made a nandroid in case a more stable update is released.

Whoa that sense clock is stunningly close to the official! Could you tell me the name of that widget? I've tried fancy widget (rides too high and close to the notification bar) and Weather & Toggle Widget (background cuts off at the bottom too short). Both are similar but not faithful to the original.. the one in your screencap looks identical to the original HTC one, minus the color scheme of course.
I'm a graphics guy so yes I am super picky

Back to topic: +1 for Virtuous 2.7, but prefer Adryn's kernal.

I didn't do it personally
But the easyest way I heard it to rip the .apk apart with a program like a zip extractor and edit the files from there then rezip them and digitally sign the application
Again I can be wrong but if anyone knows how I would like to learn the exactly correct way

This is correct. You need to unzip it with winzip. Go to the \res\drawable-hdpi and edit the .png files that you want a different color. Then you need to use winzip and zip it as a .apk file then have it digitally signed and then zipalign it.

I have a nandroid of Virtuous 2.7 on my phone. Once I went Vanilla it's hard to go back to a Sense ROM. I think I'm going to give CM6 a run, but I have heard a lot about the instablility of AOSP ROMs and that kind of scares me. SkyRaider is rock solid, and would hate to go to something that's not stable.
Redemption
I've bee pretty happy with the Redemption Rom. Why?
Depending on what you want, stock app-wise, it's easily customizable as far as adding/removing what you want. Same story with the 'value added' goodies Lou bakes into the ROM itself. He included several apps in the load that I didn't know I would want or use, until I tried them - now they seem essential to any ROM, imho.
It's easily customizable via the links he provides in the main thread, and there's elements you can easily add/remove based on where he put them in the ROM itself.
For me, this one's my daily, and if you like sense, there's a menu of tweaks/options you can do with this ROM to make it all your own.
Agreed, Redemption is a great one. SR Vanilla, and Virtuous are also great. I'm loving Redemption though, great goodies, smooth, plus love the lock screen and notification window.
I do love SR's boot animation, with the Androids popping up...
Sent from HTC Incredible, Redemption 2.0.4, King's BFS #5 kernel OC to 1.113, s-off
The only thing I have against RR, (minor, to be sure), is the lack of support in ROM manager. I'm lazy, sometimes, and like to check for updates through it or am at work and don't want to bother with a mobile browser. I'm currently switching between Virtuous 3.0.1 and Shadow ROM.

I agree. Ive been through rom manager and flashed them all. Redemption is a great rom.
Redemption 2.0.3. king kernel oc-uv #5. incredible revolution theme, rosie removed. Launcher pro. Prepare for glory splash. Various boot animations.
OK if anyone is interested I created this theme for LeeDROID but should work on any SENSE rom.
Using latest jar and framework
2 zips to choose, normal battery and battery % mod
-Transparrent Notification
-Transparrent Pull Down (image shows my name at bottom - one in theme is a blank bar tho)
-Full set of Transparent White Icons for the notification bar - including Signal/Clock/Headphones/USB etc...
-White Circle battery (6 parts) or white battery % mod
Im using Launcher Pro with custom icons and the Moded Cyanogen Live Wallpaper
Just Flash from RECOVERY (do a Nandroid first to be safe)
Note.
That I have deleted the Sense Lockscreen in my rom (This is not included so will remain as whatever you have now. If you want to remove the SENSE Lockscreen let me know and i will create a ZIP for it)
Font Changer was used for my system Font

Morning
The first zip is the one shown in my images first post (has 6 segment battery)
The second zip is exactly the same but uses the MOD battery (100% number count down) White circle battery
This looks really nice man, I would appreciate a zip with your lockscreen, that vanilla one is just simply better looking. Any chance of this?
But, at the moment, I'm running supervillain rom, no sense, will it work?

If you remove htclockscreen from system/app then the standard one I use will become default. Can be done in adb thanks a lot for good feedback.

Any idea why the bar is solid black when sitting on home but turns translucent when using any app? I'd like it to be translucent all the time.I'm using rooted stock rom.
It's solid black because I'm using a black background on my homescreen, it is transparent, if I had a white background, the status bar would be lighter coloured

My buddy has this phone and wants these toggles on the drop down menu like in the pic attached. He is running stock ROM rooted.
I think a good place to start would be... where did you get the pic?
I have this installed on my phone (hd2) desire hd ROM. I took this screenshot.
He can a) install a widget that has notification options, b) install a custom ROM that has it included, or c) ok there were only two options that I know of.

Sense 2.1 offers that functionality, but in a slightly different UI arrangement. Check RoyalMint or the Desire S port.

I don't know that for sure...just giving you options.
Here's what Sense 2.1 looks like:
any ROM that has notification toggles does so with the same properties as a widget. There are several in the market that would give you that functionality without changing roms.
Cm7 has it. Not same icon styles but it has it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Widetsoid (in the market) has this functionality...not the same icons though I don't think...
Widgetsoid2.X
[via XDA premium]
Mine look like this. I'm running cm7.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I have cm7 too, but those icons are sure nice on the Sense 2.1 (if thats the kinda thing that gets you off).
To be honest, Sense wasn't too bad. I might switch to a Sense Rom from CM7. Especially when you read that Sense works more efficiently on HTC phones (despite the large size).

Before you tell me to use the search button i've been looking and trying out every sense rom there is and with every one of them there is something that's wrong. Now my real question is if any one could suggest a perfect sense rom. When I say perfect I mean good battery life and not laggy when switching through home screens.
I would be really grateful if someone did.
Thanks anyways!

Ok, I won't tell you to search.... but as this is a question..... I can tell you to post in Q & A next time.... and in my opinion, there is no perfect sense rom and never will be.... it can't be compiled just for our devices as their is no source code.... so it can never be perfect for our devices..... and another opinion of mine... sense sucks.... if you want sense so bad, but want a good working rom... do it this way.... install hyperdroid cm7..... install he launcher and choose the sense look in it.... then install fancy widget and choose the sense like clock theme.... then their, you have a perfectly working build that looks like sense......
Coredroid 1.6

Have you tried HE launcher off the market? That combined with the fancy widget that's modified to look like the sense clock really looks a lot like sense.
Not a big fan of Sense myself, but I agree its Coredroid..the last version I tried was v1.5 it was really good, free of most issues and incidentally my last sense build...After that its CM7 all the way, with some time for MIUI in between which is also quite impressive but when it comes to raw speed nothing beats cm7/aosp builds...
I recommend imilka's Desire HD.
The only disadvantage is slow booting.

Hi,
Without repeating what diesburg has said, I am using since two month boyppc rom. The actual version on my hd2 is GB sense 2.3.4 v25. For information it is not htc sense but a look like called launcher pro (LP). It is enough similar to make my day and the batterie last for about 2 days, good speed and bug free.
The other thing that I like is the easy installation
I can honestly recommend any rom based on Sense 3.0. Practically no problems, no FC, no reboots, and I have not noticed any graphical bugs. 300MB free ram after boots and Everything works like a charm. I almost forgot to add that cam records in 720p
But for me the fastest and best performing Froyo Sense ROM is IMilka's Inc. with tytung_r10 kernel for Qaliza_DHD, i tried this Rom on CLK and is the fastest for me and i think that if you looking perfect sense rom you should try this combination.
If you decide to go down the route of installing a fancy widget clock, try to find version 1.3.0 as its the most sense-like clock. if I find a link for it i'll pop it in here.
EDIT: http://www.filesonic.com/file/12961909/Fancy_Widget_1.3.0.apk
Wait camera records in 720p!? Just like in windows phone 7. OK try it out.

I actually ended up udi. Get launched pro with fancy widget and using theme manager with complete sense theme. I also got the sense dock and the sense wallpaper.
Do. Thanks for all the suggestions and help!!!

The thing about CLK is that its too complicated to install, I've tried once but failed.. I installed the rom in CWM and rebooted and it comes back to the white text and black background.....
i have tried alot of sense build...
i think rafdroid is great...
this build have more option to customize n stable support all app's that i used when that apps can't run on another sense build..
Takes a bit of learning but once you get past that you don't go back.

I think you can request this in MIUI ROM section, which is led by STOCKWELL and who knows, he can bring it out solo from MIUI ROM.
i found it as a widget its called MIUI digital clock, u can download it from market.

Hi skifyr123
Which launcher Di you use for the WP7 theme? I applied the theme through the MIUI Theme manager. Some components adopt the WP7 look, but the home screen still retains the MIUI look - but with different icons.
Thanks
