I have to say that I am absolutely loving Virtuous right now. I have tried them all and it's my daily driver.

I am really enjoying the Uncommon Sense. Best I have tried so far.
Virtuous is clean and smooth

virtuous - extremely stable and customizable. Best so far. Did try a bunch of others and always came back to virtuous. In fact I stopped experimenting with others. I am going steady with her now waiting for it to ask me for a diamond ring to show real commitment.
I like virtuous. It's the closest to stock but with lots of mods. I personally love to rotary lockscreen from our friend ihtfp69. But I only tried skyraider during RC2. Cm is nice except no sense widgets.

I can say virtuous is probably THE best as far as stability and customization. It's by far one of the most polished ROMs out for the incredible right now.
I've tried both skyraider vanilla and sense and they are very nice ROMs as well. Unfortunately, a couple bugs bothered me and i always went back to virtuous.
CM6 was my first ROM and it was unfortunately too buggy for me. I miss a lot of things about it but overall, I realized there are a lot of things about Sense that i could not live without.
Desire HD ROM was also pretty cool but only because we got to see what great things HTC is inventing. I am also looking forward to dev's incorporating some things from it... like booting up in seconds!
Currently I am running uncommon sense and it's honestly just as stable (so far) as virtuous. Considering this is the first version of it, I am extremely impressed.
Since i was using virtuous with the sexyrosiemod and rotary lockscreen (but i really wanted the vanilla lockscreen), uncommon sense is pretty much my set up but built in the ROM already. As far as getting rid of bloatware though, i have to say virtuous is the easiest ROM for it. I had to use titanium with uncommon sense which really isn't that big of a deal but it wasn't as user friendly as virtuous.
EDIT: Forgot something important. I later found out that you can uninstall apps straight from the app menu in uncommon sense. very handy!
also, the other quirks in uncommon sense has really made me attached to this ROM. I never thought i would cross over from virtuous but I did and I don't see myself going back (due to personal preference not because it's necessarily better). If i was going to recommend a ROM to a friend, i would say virtuous.
From what you say cheese I'm going to give uncommon sense a try. So far I like it. Been only 10 minutes though

Uncommon Sense.
It just works for me all the way through. The bloatware can be a little annoying but it's easily taken care of.
I would have to say virtuous also. I was a big fan of skyraider and can't wait for gold. But uncommon sense was slow for me. I don't use rosie but I like the color settings menu and the status bars better than vanilla.

In my opinion if you're looking for the Sense experience Virtuous is the best one out there. It doesn't change anything drastically, and the UI changes are subtle and more of added polish than wholesale changes you'll get with some other roms. I really like the spirit of the project which is to remain as close to stock as possible but to give the user options that they don't have with the official build.
It's been rock solid for me, the only issue was the Gmail Update issue with 2.7 which was quickly resolved.
Redemption ROM-
Best if you want sense without the added bloatware
It's pretty fast too!

I think more people should try redemption. its been nothing but smooth.
Virtuous is nice too. great battery life with the custom kernel.
Actually, They're all really good. I've been doing a lot of jumping around from rom to rom because they're all really good. That's what's great about being rooted. Try'em all!
I like the new Uncommon 1.0 ROM. It is very clean and smooth and I like the small changes that were made. I am also noticing that my battery is lasting alot longer with this ROM.
I am also using Uncommon. Came from CM which was way too buggy for me and unstable.
I'm running with Uncommon Sense right now but had been on Virtuous after trying SR, Frankenrom, and the nonSense ROMS (CM, Ruby).
It's pretty nice and probably a bit more streamlined than Virtuous but still lacks something I can't place. I'd prefer Virtuous to have the power option to Reboot but while that mod is available, it conflicts with the Rotary Lockscreen mod which I like too, as well as the Revolution theme (well the rotary lockscreen conflicts). It would be nice to have DSP built in as well but aside from that these are both terrific ROMS. Hmmm...they should get married! Get the best of both worlds!
If you use HTC sense, which I assume you do based on the title of the thread, then Virtuous is the cleanest and most stable stock sense experience you'll find.
I use SR vanilla mostly because I only like SOME of sense, like the gallery and camera app. I use launcher pro too, so having a full sense rom wouldn't be too beneficial for me personally. Gotta love choice

I use virtuous with rosie removed and launcher pro in its place with a hydra kernel and it's running like a dream. Can't really comment on the battery life since I am using an extended battery, but it seems to be okay.

Is it possible and can it be done??? I really want the sense 3.0 camera application (assuming im correct and that is what is in the new mik rom/synergy) to run on cm7 but have not been able to :-(.... Does anyone know if you can or if the apk could be modified to work on cm7 and if so how? Really miss the stock camera application on my EVO and want it back without having sense

I don't think it can be done...
I didn't think so, just figured I would ask and see if anyone had any ideas... Love the sense 3.0 camera application
Sent from my EVO 4G with Tapatalk
maybe im wrong, but wouldnt the sense 3.0 camera rely on htc framework? ofc not present in aosp...
CM nightlies are starting to implement touch to focus on camera, so hopefully will see it in next RC
Hi guys ... I'm currently using Virtuous Affinity, and I've found it to be very slow and buggy, and I really want to switch to some other ROM .. Before Virtuous Affinity, I was using Virtuous Unity, which I found to be much better ..
So right now I need suggestions for a Desire Z compatible ROM, which is based on HTC Sense 3.5 or higher ... Or at the very least, it should be Sense 3.0 or higher ..

If ur fine without a camera virtuous primadonna is very stable and smooth

I actually need the camera ... If the camcorder is out though, I can probably live with that ..
Every 3.5 sense rom i've tried so far get laggy and buggy after time. I'm now using ICS mexdroid rom and this is really really really the fastest experienxe so far for me personally.
Try the energy series.
Virtuous Affinity 2.05.0 was a fantastic ROM to use after i debloated it and supercharged it. I used it for about 2 weeks with the HTC Amaze cam mod and that was by far one of my favorite Sense ROMs. I normally stick to AOSP ROMs though because Sense 3.5 is just not meant for our phones. That's the reason why we didn't get an update to Sense 3.* and that's also the reason why our phones won't get an update to ICS, because our phones won't be able to handle Sense 3.6 either.
just try android revolution. one of the best roms ever
I tried revolution, same laggy issues after some time. Even if you reboot every day. Pick an ics rom, they are working very very well.

jup, andromadus beta 3 is the best rom ever
ARHD 7.0.4:
i suggest you: unistall via titanium all unused apps/widgets (personaly i have only the calendar and the weather widgets) then you need swap,v6 supercharger,sd boost. enable swap, set sd cache to 8192, run supercharger(my opinion option13 for rosie and 6 for memory)
bulletproof the com.android.mms. cpu sleep 245 conv. wake 1.2+ ondemand.
you will have all time 100+ mb free not loosing you message(i rec to have the ghostly), playable, smooth. always you will have lag or freezes is a sense 3.5 rom in a 512 rem device. is the best that you can do. i have tried everything.
edit:BUT ALWAYS YOU WILL HAVE THE CAMERA FLASH BAG (flash doesnt open in the same time when the camera captures a picture so the image is black) this is the reason i let the 3.x roms. you cant fix it even install the amaze mod camera even a 3rd party app or different kernel...
Okay to cover this one more time:
Sense 3 and 3.5 roms are not ever going to work well on the G2 series. Dead Stop. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
The G2 series does not have sufficient system horsepower to properly run a Sense rom of this series. You want Sense UI and G2 in the same package? Great. Run Virtuous Sense 2. It is based on the DZ firmware and is very stable.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

You could keep a backup of a couple different roms on your sd card. That's what I do. Primadonna might not have a working camera, but audacity does.it only takes a few short minutes to switch between roms.

I'm looking at getting back onto Sense. Last one I had was Unity 1.29!
I like the Sense 3.5 ROMS but there is so much discussion about MMS and cameras not working. I know you can install apks to fix those issues but are those problems on all of them? The opinions seem all over the place on these two issues.
In case it's relevant, I'm looking into flashing either BinDroid, RunnyMede Xtreme v2, Virtuous Affinity, or Runny Xtreme Surprise - v3.
Any help and thoughts on this?

Of the choices you have there, definately use Virtuous Affinity. But I'm currently using Endymion 3.5, & it is practically perfect. But with either, you can't go wrong. Also, my wife has beenvusing LeeDroid for months, & its great too. Most of the Sense 3.0 & 3.5 are very stable.

Android revolution. Just didnt feel like spelling it all out lol
Is there really any difference between all these though? Other than the RCMix3D tweaks? How does "Rev" () really vary from Affinity for example?
Also, I've been on Runny Xtreme v2 all day and I can't tell.. what exactly is new about Sense 3.5?
Android Revolution is a great ROM and so is Bindroid. Try both and see which one you prefer.
Which Revolution, though? Sense 3.5 or the stable Sense 3.0?

I run the Sense 3.5. I got use to the few extra HTC apps and the layout. I think it's cleaner than Sense 3.0.

Ok, trying out Affinity for the next day and then I'll see where I stand. I wasn't crazy about the Revolution notes mentioning FCs on camcorder. I really have to have Camera and Camcorder working perfectly.
If you want everything to work "out of the box", try Bindroid first.

Camcorder FC has been fixed
I would recommend Sense 3.0, everything works right out of the box. Another sweet thing ARHD has that not many others do is GPU UI Rendering. This results in noticeable performance improvements.

Would you say that maybe the last version of Unity would be the best?
And is there really NO 3.5 that has a perfectly working camera and camcorder? What other major problems are there? Sorry, I'm coming from another ROM so the commonly known issues of Sense 3.5 aren't something I'm familiar with.

Saranhai is right about ARHD having GPU UI Rendering both for the Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.5 versions, which does translate into snappier performance. What it comes down to is personal preference, and if video camera and camera function is important "out of the box", try the Sense 3.0 ARHD version and Bindroid with Sense 3.5. Good luck!

I'm gonna try bindroid, then Revolution. Any reason nobody seems to mention runny xtreme much?
FOLLOW UP:
Wow... really not liking the custom icons and theme of Bindroid at all. Guess I'm going with Revolution. I just personally find Bindroid REALLY unappealing visually. I mean, I have to like the way it looks, right?
Im not requesting anything with this thread, Im just asking! Will there be any ICS or JB rom with Sense for the HD2 in the near future? Ive tried 2.3.5 Sense with One X mods and it was pretty good, but it lacked speed and features compared to ICS. Im currently running NexusHD2 2.7 which is great, but since Im using the phone as a player, Im really missing beats audio and working dsp and not to mention sense's cool camera features.
there's no chance for now to make perfectly wrok sense 4 on our beloved htc hd2, but on the desire forum there are some developers that are working on problems of ics sense.
When it will be complete, maybe someone can port it.
