Is an all AOSP Rom even possible?

I mean all the way AOSP? I miss the Roms that were available for my G1...I thought the SenseUI would be awesome to have, but seriously...it actually sucks.

Yeah. There's AOSP 1.6, and DarchDroid is based off of AOSP 2.1. Do a search next time....

an all asop rom is not fully possible yet, theres a few out there but the camera doesnt work and a few other things but thats because they cant fix that until the official 2.1 comes out then we will have our fully aosp, theres darch vanilla, and darch droid, but a few things are missing as i stated above, if you are like me and you want a fully functionable aosp rom just wait until this update comes out then my friend we score, i hate sense, it blows...............ive been waiting for this a long time....dont even bother with the old aosp roms i mean their good but not 100%

Here's the big answer to your question. All AOSP roms ARE possible. They just don't have all the functionality of Sense ROMs. DarchVanilla, or the link in my sig, will get you as close to aosp as you can get without breaking functionality.

And might I add it's all HTCs fault because they won't release the .29 kernel source and their massive amount of modification to it disallows the ability to just port over a .29 kernel as it is... What Android was all about in the first place.

Haha, I have one of those too...but let me tell you, if you flash 2.1 on it, and even THINK about thinking about looking at it to go online or play a game....or make a call, your battery drains.

Cyanogen to target HeroC in CM6

According to CM's Twitter.
"CM6 targets: Nexus One, Droid, Dream, Magic, Desire, Evo, Slide "
Then he later tweeted
"Add HeroC to the list too "

Hot diggity damn. I'm so glad we have a vibrant development community on the Hero. Unlike that icky moment. Only 2-3 active devs on that phone and only ONE of them is still putting out new stuff.

Must have missed it but I thought you went to the dark side with the moment. Did you come back?

This definitely makes up for some devs leaving for the Evo. ;o

So I guess Cyanogen is going to put out a ROM for the Hero??? AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! BTW, is HeroC that CDMA hero, or is that the GSM Hero???

But I be it would be hard, different people have different aims/ devices..
I have a Hero and want it lean and fast..
Some others might prefer a balance or maybe all eye candy..
I hope Darch's froyo build is as lean and minimal as Darchdroid 2.7..

My guess is that Darch's FroYo build will be the exact same as DarchDroid, but just built on FroYo instead of Eclair. My guess is that Cyanogen's build will be the same as Darch's build.

Yes. DarchDroid is built from CyanogenMos 5.0.8.

If I understand correctly, Darchdroid is CyanogenMod 5 complied for Heroc. We won't have two AOSP ROMs unless Darch decides to make his own changes which didn't seem like his original goal.

[Q] Why do I feel like I'm being left out on developments?

I feel like the Aria is slow with developments. NOT COMPLAINING, I love liberated and CM6 (awesome, btw) but when do you think new ROMS are going to come out?

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.

What would you like to see in a new ROM?

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...

Sorry didn't mean the rom, meant the source kernel for attn1 to add and hopefully figure out why track wake isn't on plus all the other little things that's on his list that aren't in the current build.

From what I understand it's using the froyo kernel from the legend now.

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.

Best myTouch 4g Rom

What's the best mytouch 4g rom right now? Ive tried all the obvious ones; iced, cyanogen, muiu, hd sense. Just wondered if there was something else out there, something better, or different. Getting a little bored with the obvious, like to test new things.
Any thoughts?

think your only option would be to wait until the devs get honeycomb or liquid metal going for our phone

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.

is it me or has rom production almost come to a halt. i mean with GB ready to go whats the deal? or are all the devs working on HC and done with GB

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.

my fave so far is jaywans nexus s gingerbread rom. it's pretty smooth and everything works. I wanted to try his thunderbolt port but I kinda got tired of sense

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.

I just finished an update for it taking it from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 is fast smooth and great on battery. I sent it to royal night so he can put his touches on it so i will be ready real soon.

Really depends on how you want to style your phone. Do you like Sense? Do you want a vanilla flavored rom?
I love CM7.

+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 !

A look and feel to HTC sense

So a while back I started using cyanogen 7 and liked it for the most part. But I started to miss HTC's sense. That was one of the main reasons I went with an evo and not an epic. So now I am looking for a Rom that has both Android 2.3 and the look and feel of the new HTC sense. Preferred something under a stable release. Is there a dev out there that has something like that released. I start work in like 15 mins and would like to be able to just roll home and reflash.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

There is at least 50 different sense roms in the dev section.....

The Evo official software version is at 2.3.3.
You could also try Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS 5. It's pretty smooth for a Sense ROM, and it's got all of the Sense goodies.

MikG ROM is exactly what you're looking for, there is also Synergy ROM, that'll you'll have to sign up for a beta for.

Totally agree with mikg roms. It is gingerbread with sense 2.1 and sense 3.0 features. Everything is working for me. Even netflix. I am using the latest v 2.1 Rom

MikG is great! i've been using it ever since the GB leak!
I've heard great things about Synergy as well, but, like someone else has mentioned, you need to be signed up for the beta to use it.
AllianceROM r7.3 isnt bad either...I'm giving it a test run right now actually. It's like MikG in the sense that they are hybrid Sense 2.1/3.0

yup, i am totally fine if i never run another rom again. i used cm7 and some other roms, i even did the kingdom and virus and alliance. hands down the straight mikG beats them all when it comes to smoothness and sense, even though some of them are very similar. and the newest mikG got me my netflix back on track!

I know there is a bunch of different ROM's But I guess I should have been more clear but trying to get a post off before I had to clock in while helping open the store was a bit hectic. I was looking for community feedback on some of the ROM's as in what would be best and what others think of said ROM's.
Thanks to everyone who gave me opinions and big thanks to the links. Going to look into both MikG as well as alliance. I like the screens from Alliance but I am not seeing screens for MikG maybe ther is a off XDA site with them.
Again thanks for the assistance everyone

I recommend Synergy. Very stable and is superfast. It is a collaboration of all the excellent devs and have begun releasing mods/themes...

Use MikG all the way!! It's sense 2.1+3.0 and its Android 2.3.3
