First shout-out to thederekjay for posting a kick-ass MIUI rom with the help of faux123 and many others.
Newbie Question:
I just have one question is there anyway to combine some sense animations with a non-sense rom...i.e. today i've flashed virtuous_fusion glacier rom i like some aspects of it such as the animated lockscreens. is there a way to use that on a non-sense rom.
No, due to the fact that sense is closed source so it's impossible to port anything to a different rom.

Only the sense music player was ported months ago and nothing else, htc doesn't share their source code like aosp like the poster said above. You can make Vanilla look like sense if you want, I'm on soap and it looks like mysense/touchwiz mix.

This rom is just simply stunning. Any devs willing to port it to our G2's/Desire Z's?
Even a metamorph would be nice!

Would like that too, but wrong section!

yeah looks like a sense rom i would be willing to give a shot if this got ported..
Getting it to boot involves flashing a compatible kernel, editing the build.prop and changing libs, right?
After that, its just bug testing I think.
That rom actually looks like something I'd like to try... I was never much of a sense fan but I think I wouldn't mind this
Looks similar to villains rom

What's the difference between CM7 rom and Virtuous rom???
Because I'm thing about updating from virtuous to cm7
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
One big difference is that CM doesn't have HTC Sense, but Virtuous does.
Also, CM is based on 2.3, whereas Virtuous is 2.2.1

Best thing to do is flash and see for youself! Look at the specs of the roms and flash! That's what I do.

I agree. I was doing the same thing as you trying to find the difference between two different ROMs and I found that it was just easier to flash and try them yourself. Plus it was fun flashing different ROMs
I really like Roto CM7 rom So far out of all of all the roms I have tryed and it seems more stable as well as fast. but I am flashing B#54 because it has the tethering in it. seems he has taken it out after that and since I do not have Internet at home anymore... Moved and have not gotten it.... I tether...
Hey,
Well Virtuous is based on the stock rom (therefore it comes with sense). On the other hand is CM which is build on top of vanilla android (therefore it can use 2.3).
If you like the look and feel and the bundled apps of the desire z with stock rom, you will love Virtuous because its just an extension.
If you think the stock one is overloaded and you like the vanilla android experience, CM is the way to go.
In both cases you get a custom kernel with a lot of nice features.
I use CM on my G1 and Virtuous on my G2. And I like both! well more the G2 but that has nothing to do with the rom

How come everything in the dev section, is just ports besides cm7? I used to have a vibrant and they had like hella shiznit, just wondering if there's anything about the phone making it hard

Sense being closed source. That's why. Everything is AOSP or sense based

I'm pretty sure Ice Glacier isn't a port - i.e. it's a ROM meant specifically for our device.

i believe IG is a port of expresso which is the sense that comes on the mytouches
I understood software porting to be, taking an application/OS that was designed to run on one set of hardware/platform and making it run on one it wasn't intended to run on/within.
As far as I've seen, Ice Glacier is the MyTouch 4G stock ROM. Teamsilence and Notxel deodexed it, zip-aligned it, removed some of the stupid bloatware, etc. They didn't take a ROM from another device and port it to ours, they just tidied our ROM up and made it better...much better.
It's essentially similar to using nLite to trim down/adjust a Windows OS installation and then repackaging it.
I could be wrong...
Hey the espresso has thr chacha ported witht he new 3.0 sense lockscreen. Anyone going to port?

heres the link i think:

That's quite cool and maybe useful to the devs working on the sensation port. Because its sense 2.1 but with the 3.0 lockscreen. What's the screen resolution on the chacha and the espresso?

Excellent. Think I'll work on porting it over to G2 tomorrow since it's my day off!

It's cool that it's working there, but any chance some one can port just the lockscreen so we can flash it on top of Virtuous? I need a rom that works 100%, thats a big reason on why I'm still using Virtuous.
Rooted HTC Vision/G2 running Virtuous v1.0.2
Old G1 that I don't use anymore...
well no one has ported it yet theyre all working hard on the sensation rom, some say its not even possible to port it to sense 2.1 roms however i think that since the took it from a sense 2.1 rom it has to be possible...im also dying to have it on a stable rom but all we can do at the moment is wait

It is very unlikely that the lockscreen will be ported to sense 2.1. the version of sense which the cha cha rom runs is a version of sense 2.1 with the same style lockscreen as 3.0 the sense 3.0 lockscreen wasn't ported to it. So there may be a chance that the cha cha locksreen could be ported but the resoloution is all wrong and would need to be scaled up. Given the challanges involved in changing the resoloution I dobut any one would want to give it a go.

thanks for the clarification Chris
Yeah, that does make things more clear. The senseation rom would be awesome to have it it worked 100%. And im sure that when it's at that point I will use it.
well for those who want to try out sense 3.0 heres another port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054412 its still not stable but its much more stable than the sensation port
It doesn't really look like the standard htc sense 3.0, but it did have the widgets.
Its tje expresso version of sense which is tmobiles sense or something like that, its ok it has the 3d animations and the cool lockscreen with the rings (except the 4 icons don't show up.... yet)

Well Im sure I just need to be patient, we need to be grateful of our developers and they will eventually figure something out.
Dear Valued users
Which version of unofficial android do you advice me to use? keeing in mind that it is fully functional and nothing is missing.
Thanks

The question or which ROM is the stablest is one of those very subjective things. "Stable" means different things to different people, though the Gingerbread ROMs tend to be the most bug-free and feature-complete. There is a ROM index at the development forum listing most of the ROMs available here. Just try a few for yourself.
Well Ok then I mean , Which is the most feature complete??

Like I told you, the Gingerbread ROMs (though the ICS ones are also quite stable and the JB ones are getting there). Beyond that, I strongly recommend that you try several out for yourself. The development forum's index will be a good resource. Additionally, each ROM's thread's first post will describe the highlights of that particular ROM. The most active ROMs will be clustered around the top of the dev forum.
Thanks pal

I have used BlackOut Incredible v3.1, Sabsa Prime v5.0 and TrickDroid v1.1.1.. I advise you to use TricDroid if you want sense 4 and BlackOut Incredible if you want sense 3.6. Both are stable.:laugh:
Here is an up-to-date list of HTC Desire HD Custom ROMs from XDA.
Here are a few older custom ROM screenshots.
I enjoyed MIUI (Gingerbread version) for ages. The ICS version is also good. Many people like CyanogenMod. As people have said, it's a personal thing based on how you enjoy the feel and look of the UI.
I currently enjoy using Blackout ICS Incredible v3.1.0 which is my first HTC Sense ROM in a long time.
Hopefully ROM threads include screenshots for you to get an idea of things. For the other specs or included or missing things, you need to read the thread.
Of course all of the Desire HD XDA ROMS are listed in the Desire HD Android Development section.
Should it be a rom with sense or not? I would try cayanogen mod 7.2 or andoird revolution hd. but by the way, you are the only one who can say that is good for you
Thanks all. That was very kind of all of you
