+1 to this l, bro. However, given that there are no sense-based phones with an official gingerbread update from HTC, this seems highly unlikely to happen until then. Otherwise the rom will need to be built from scratch, which makes such a thing highly undeaireable from the Dev standpoint, I'd imagine.

Sence roms = 256mb

No bloat?

alright, perhaps I need to rephrase. I find that, compared to the crap on the stock rom, a True sense-based ROM is much less bogged down with useless software (IMHO)and includes programs I actually like and use (reader, locations, htc hub for skins, etc). Yes, compared to an AOSP rom or CM, it is much more bloated, but all that comes from the polish applied to the UI which I happen to find quite appealing, but which some do not.

+1 to that... Sense is such a great thing, i love everything it has to offer! just wish the battery life could be a bit better~ other than that i use it as my daily driver!

I know alot of people who don't like sense, when I ask why they can't Answer why. Sense looks good and works great. If someone could combine it with gingerbread I would be hooked. My first sense phone was the hd2 and after coming to the mytouch and seeing how good the sense was I was pleased with what they did.

htc sense is very nice vs stock android.. stock android is sooooooooo boring and doesnt have all the nice widgets that htc sense hooks it up with and the nice looking ui. but the only good thing about stock android is it doesnt take up as much ram as the htc sense does. thats the only thing ive noticed different. also gingerbread is nice to run but i keep going back to htc sense for all the nice widgets.. i really love the weather one.. ive seen apps like it but they arent the same at all.

I for one prefer the AOSP look of Android. And loath Sense, It's so much bloat for not enough to warrant it. and if you want those widgets you get to download what you want. And Launcher Pro has a good chunk of those widgets included in the launcher.
as far as "weather widgets" the one off the LG 2X is perfect enough for me.

If you are talking about the team I think you are, they said they are waiting for official froyo to do it..
Once official froyo source drops. Things will go more smoothly.. its amazing that our devs here have made the progress they have given the lack of necessity available.

I was just about to make a thread asking about the development of this Galaxy Sense we heard about last month.
With launcher pro a custom dock and beautiful widgets you can make your homescreens look just like the sense ui if you want it for the ascetics or as a placeholder til it gets ported

Yeah I know alot of people like it pure google.
but to me it just isnt appealing or as functional.
the hero was my first android device so I did get spoiled
with htc sense. Just to my likings that it brought a better
experience and refresh to the Android interface. Widgets and apps.
I prefer it over TW. There are just a few things I prefer TW
over sense per say.
I think the rom was released and then discontinued for the galaxy s i9000 due to the devs having muliple issues that they were not able to resolve. Link to post --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877902
The only thing I ever liked about Sense UI were the widgets and the Weather effects.
With LauncherPro, you can get pretty much identical widgets, and then Beautiful Widgets will give you the same look of the clock widget. Plus, LauncherPro is infinitely customizable and you can do pretty much anything with it....
Sense UI has always been extremely laggy and slow in all the times I've used it, as a ROM port on my Nexus, and also stock on the Evo/Hero.
Wouldn't mind trying it out again on my Epic though!
The older version of fancy widget is also a wonderful alternative to the sense clock/weather widget.

It is in the devolopment forum but here is the link. http://files.androidspin.com/downloa...5.1_signed.zip
And the reason you dont have the market with CM is you need to download and install Gapps.zip for all CM roms. They are not included.
Not really sure why everyone seems to swear by iced glacier on here (other than its been out Longest) but I personally enjoy the sense ROMs provided by evil and gorilla a lot. The look of true HTC sense is beautiful by itself, though there are a lot of ways to theme them to your own liking. Plus, you get your HTC widgets by default, as well as other awesome HTC services. Plus, if speed is your thing, both can be overclocked. Battery life is good in both.
Anyhow, that's my two cents. Everyone has theit own opinions on what ROMs are best, and that's mine.

I dont swear by Ice Glacier. It is a good rom, but the others you mentioned are very good also. It is really about what you like personally. That is the great thing about Android and a rooted phone. You can check them all out and then decide what you like. All of them can be themed and every one can be overclocked for speed. Including Ice Glacier.

Using cm7 and the only thing I miss from sense is the Calender app and all the Widgets. Oh and also the browser. But I would say no sense

For calendar, agenda widget is a better replacement to me. For friend stream and the sms widget, I find pure messenger widget is great replacement.
As you can tell, I much prefer the smoothness and customization of CM myself. But sense is pretty candy I'll admit.

Sense has its ups but all in all I gotta have my aosp. I started with it on the moment and didn't even think twice about putting cm6 and aosp roms on my heroc. So for my shift it was kind of a no brainer. Although the shift did make me start to like sense more then I already did.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Sense is definitely the most polished and developed of the "skin" frameworks, imo. There is a lot to like about it as mentioned above, but I prefer going without it.
Never liked sense til mikshift...I prefer an aosp build but hate cyanogen..since the g1..so til I have enough time to get a mikaosp I'm pro sense lol
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
I like either one. To be honest
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
No Sense.
I don't *dislike* Sense. There are a lot of great things about it like the widgets everyone loves and tries to imitate. It just takes up a lot of space and uses a lot of resources to run. Though I have to admit I've never seen it run as amazingly fast and smooth as it does on the Shift.
That said, CM7 is light, fast and awesome. I mostly missed the Sense calendar widget too, but the one in Launcher Pro Plus is pretty slick and fills that gap nicely.
If I had to choose I would defently go with sense best skin out there by far. I think I would also choose it over aosp
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA Premium App
Sense looks ok, but I don't like the inflexibility of it. If I don't want it, I want to be able to delete it, and Sense doesn't like being deleted in my experience. AOSP for me.
You can't beat the social integration Sense has, but with a little bit of work pretty much any aosp rom can be ALMOST equal.
CM7 is great. The theme engine is great as well.
My rom of choice for the last couple weeks has been MIUI, sure there's no wimax or mms but mms is coming I'm sure. When I'm in wimax coverage areas for now I just nandroid.

I was glad to not have Sense on my phone anymore when I flashed CM7. I think stock Android 2.3 just looks cleaner and more professional than Sense, and HTC has made some odd choices with the updated Sense UI (is a themes button on the bottom widget really necessary?) that I don't like.
CM7 all the way for me.

Agreed. I was never a huge fan of the AOSP look before, but with the change in 2.3 to the more unified black theme, black status bar, etc. it looks really slick and professional. Sense looks nice in some aspects, but I guess I just don't like the "everything is shiny!" thing going on there.

I'm not trying to be mean but you should really read up before rooting. But since you asked perm root is when the radio security is S-OFF and clockwork recovery is the replacement of the stock recovery image which allows you to flash custom roms and kernels etc.

Either way, Sense 3 is nice but sooooo bloated. Even on the Sensation it's just not smooth like it should be.

It's a shame since it has nice specs too, but Sammy and MIUI are custom UI's that run smoothly...Why is HTC not optimizing sense, it has always been sluggish, sense alone shouldn't need more than 1GHZ 2X cores.

Yeah seriously. Sammy's TW4 is so damn nice. Not very intrusive and they really refined the look. I'm an HTC fanboy like no other buy the SGS2 with TW4 is my clear cut top dog, probably until the N3 comes out. The Sensation is nice but disappointing that HTC's quality control on it is still god awful. And it doesn't help that Sense 3.0 is now even fatter and slower. Something needs to be done with Sense, either they do a complete overhaul or at least open source it so that devs can optimize all that bloat... I really want to love Sense again, so it makes me sad.
