is there any with the htc sense because my friend as an idiot didnt backup his orginial rom and decided to install the gingerbread 2.3 gingervillain rom
I looked through the sticky and I think this is what you're looking for (make sure before you flash!).
If you want to try dabbling in some custom SENSE roms, VillainROM is one (though I'm not sure on the development status with other projects like Gingervillain going on. The other alternative is Virtuous. Virtuous seems to be the go-to sense rom amongst G2/DZ users.
yep hes right

Good Morning.
I'm a new user of this forum and of the HTC Desire.
I really like ADAMG - OpenDesire Roms (stable, up to date...) but I really like the New SENSE (From DesireHD)...
Is it possible to get this interface in a package to install on another ROM ?
Best Regards

That is what the devs are working on at the moment. There is no stable port of HD roms as of now. The camera doesn't work yet. We would have to wait till the device gets released or the HD rom gets leaked.
There are few HD roms already for Desire but camera is not working.

No it's impossible. A Sense rom comes from HTC only, and they are modified by users and that's it. You can't add Sense to a non-Sense rom.

the above poster is partially right, there is so much more to sence than just an .apk, for starters, sence needs the whole htc framework, it also uses several apps that are modified from the stock android apps. although i do beleve sence can be ported as devs have ported both our sence and the desire hd's sence to the droid x
Hi there!
So i was wondering if i should root my phone, and how would i should do it? I would like to avoid to write large amounts of commands on my phone.
I really like the uberroot way of doing it (please correct me if it's called something else.)
Is it safe to do it that way?
I've been looking for a vanilla froyo/gingerbread rom for desire z, and frankly,i haven't stumbled upon one yet.
I just wanna make TOTALLY clear, it's for desire z, not g2.
Hope you can help me!

All of the custom ROMs are compatible with both devices
Rooting with rage is the SAFEST way to go, just requires some simple adb commands:

CyanogenMod is as close to vanilla android you can get with heaps of awesome tweaks

Enom's ROM is another awesome vanilla ROM:

Awesome man, thanks for quick reply.
So in theory, that means that i could flash a g2 rom on my desire z?

+1 for the in depth answer above....
...and yep, these roms can be flashed to either device.
Are the bugs fixed already? Or is there a custom UI that works better?

Not sure what you're asking... Are you looking for the "best" 2.3.4 HTC Sense build? HTC Sense isn't something you add ontop of any G2 ROM, if you want Sense, its going to be a 2.3.4 Sense Desire Z ROM you want...
As mentioned, Sense is part of the ROM, you can't install it alongside your present ROM. You have to flash a ROM that has Sense, and it will completely overwrite your present ROM. So your present ROM Android version doesn't matter.
"Works well" is subjective. Sense 2.x is faster and less memory intensive. Sense 3.0 (Virtuous Unity) works very well, and has some great features. But it takes lots of memory, so sometimes the launcher and other memory hungry apps will fight for the available memory, and boot each other out. But apparently, there are tweaks to improve this (which I haven't personally tried). There are also hybrids of 2.x and 3.0, like InsertCoin.
Thank you very much for the replies. So, how and where do I get the 2.3.4 Sense Desire Z ROM? And how do I install it? I read somewhere that there's some glitch on some ROM like the landscape or WiFi or Bluetooth doesn't work. Is this ROM affected? I'm sorry about the 21Q guys but I'm really a noob.
You can try virtuous sense 2.0. Built based on stock sense 2.3.4 with a few tweaks and improvements

Ok guys, so I found this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186458 and downloaded myVision, Cyanogen's development tools and Cyanogen DSPManager. What do I do with the 2 Cyanogen files? I know I have to transfer myVision from my PC to the root of my phone's SD card and do the Power and Volume Up thing to boot.
I really like how the phone looks on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XfYD8rUTE0. Will this work with ver. 2.3.4? Or do I have to downgrade first?
I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3, but I don't really like it. If one exists, can someone post a link to a custom ROM that is based on gingerbread with an updated HTC Sense on it?
Thanks in advance

There's just one, and its incomplete:

For daily use ones, you will have to look at Froyo Sense ROMs. Listing here:

Yeah as 3xeno said there is only one and it's not complete, I tried it and it was pretty useless as SN everyday rom. Try wildpuzzle (its 2.2) but it's a very good sense rom

how to go back to the original wildfire rom 2.2.1

Hey Everyone,
I have a rooted desire z with an insert coin rom installed.
I want to mess around with ROM Manager. When I go to perform the 1st step, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, it asks me to confirm phone model.
Options are HTC Desire HD and HTC G2. I would assume I want to use the G2 as this is pretty much the G2.
My phone was originally Bell Mobility.
Any insight would be great.
Thanks.
Yip choose the HTC G2
thanks!...now to decide what rom to try.

Choose whatever you want. But remember there are more options than show up in ROM manager. You can download from the dev section too
Also, ALWAYS back up in recovery before flashing. Save yourself a lot of headaches.
Dont limited yourself to what can be downloaded through rom manager, head to the developers section here and read up on the different flavoured roms

And recoveries lol, 4EXT is actually pretty damn cool, and has more features than cwmr, and it's from the same creator I believe
This is only my 3rd adnroid, 2nd i've rooted.
The 1st was a Rogers Dream so I was limited to CM6 really.
One thing I wonder on the desire z is do I need to flash a different kernel? I would guess no since the insert coin rom I am running is Gingerbread 2.3.4 the kernel would be fine for something like CM7.1.
Anyone running CM 7.1 on a desire z? how is it?

When you install a new ROM (like cm7) it installs a new kernel with it. FWIW the CM7 stock kernel is amazing.
There are thousands of people running CM7 on the Vision. Head over to the 7.1 thread and see what people are saying. Its worth a try. I like it.
If I go with CM7.1, any way to get a good looking sense clock/weather widget? The ones on market suck to put it simply....
The onlything I like about sense really is that widget...

Different developer, but 4EXT is based on CWM.
I guess I could just use Launcher Pro instead of ADW and then buy the Sense Widget for $1.50...
P.S
+1 to 4EXT recovery,that is the absolute best recovery for your phone IMHO

Well, tried CM 7.1...compared to InsertCoin I was running it is pretty weak...the insert coin is far better as far as stability...as soon as I opened market it crashed, settings, crash....etc...
Nandroid restore to insertcoin and smiles again!

hmmm.... so? what ROM should i download? CM7? or InsertCoin? what do you recommend guys?
Why don't you just try yourself? Would take much less time than reading about personal preferences of people
I never tried CM and probably won't in a visible timeframe, because I chose HTC over Samsung because of Sense (and the fact that my operator had the DZ dirt cheap compared to others ).

I prefer InserCoin. More complete for the device. CM7.1 is okay...but like the last person said, sense is why some ppl like htc...buy htc...etc.
It is all personal preference, but from what I have found so far...sense roms, insertcoin included are much nicer on the device...
