Virtuous sense 2.0 has the extra power menu options. If you want the stock android lockscreen you can delete HTCLockscreen.apk from /system/app. I don't know how you could get the lockscreen from cm7 without using widget locker.
If you want the the extended settings in your notification bar I have created a few flashable.zip to add them. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16495562
Do Androids dream of electric sheep?

ty for your reply..
I made a mistake while typing my post...
Virtuous Sense 2.. hmm for me it didnt have the extra power options in the statusbar.. perhaps I should redownload..
so Im gonna retry that but the Sensation Lockscreen >> on my desire I have a desire Z Sense 2.1 rom with only the lockscreen.apk replaced.. could I use my desire's apk for that? I was actually looking for a full package, or a flashable zip
[edit] ps those extra flashable zips you created.. they are incredible![/edit]
[edit2]ROM: Virtuous 2.0 with the Sense 3.0 lockscreen and in ur sig TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTY
flashing v2+extra power settings+lockscreen.. that is exactly what I wanted
One final question.. which will actually be usefull... I was wondering if its possible to use the Virtuous OC tool thats in the pyramid ROM in virtuous 2.0?
[/edit]

Try my LeeDrOiD ROM, it has extended power menu, and has an addon for sense 3 features (lockscreen etc)!!!!!!!!
Sent from my Desire Z

id go with cm7 but thats just me

If you want the all the funtions for daily then I recommend a sense rom. If you down with tweaking a rom then go with cm7 or miui

new lockscreen in sense 3.0

Hello,
is it possible to install the lockscreen from sense 3.0 with the weather and the shortcut apps on aonther rom? like for example the new gingerbread rom (rooted one)
Thnx
There are a few roms available that are based on sense 2.1 but have sense 3 apps and widgets. Including the lockscreen.
I would imagine that there will be similar roms available that are based on the gingerbread DZ release but with sense 3.0 goodies coming out in the next few weeks. Just give it time.
But it is not possible to just install the lockscreen. Not very easily anyway. I'd imagine it has something to do with frameworks

Yea the fact that you would be pulling the sense lockscreen and trying to apply it to an AOSP base would probably mess things up.

You can install it on the sense 2.1 based roms, like the new desire z release.
Apply the lockscreen and 2 required weather patches from Seo's thread, and then the rotating rosie + menu fix from Siulmagics insertcoin thread.
All works for me.

in seo threads , they mention removing old apks , do we have todo that also if we flash a clean rom , like the new gingerbread release by Virtuous?

[Q] Dezire Z & ROM Manager Question

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...

[Q] Noob Q: sense 3/3.5 on mytouch 4g?

Is there a stable mod with sense 3 or 3.5 for my touch 4g? Does everything work?
Also, does anyone know where I can get detailed, step by step instruction for rooting and installing a ROM like CM7.1... I need something that a grandma would be able to follow... thanks

ALL sense 3.0 roms are very stable, the best and my favorite is Virtuous Unity (found in the development section). all the sense 3.5 roms are very stable and nice as well, THE ONLY BUG FOR ALL OF THEM IS UPSIDE DOWN FFC, BUT THIS CAN BE FIXED BY FLASHING A SENSE 3.0 CAMERA.ZIP FILE.
as far as rooting goes...

Kernels for Sense 2.1 ROM

Hello, i have virtuous 2.0 rom installed, and i'd like to get some info about kernels before flashing anything, if you have any advice or experience with this rom and tried kernels on it it would be nice to let me know, i did some research but i am kinda lost, was going to put Unity kernel but then i thought i have 2.3.3 and i read it is for 2.3.4>. Anyway thanks in advance.
Oh and one last thing are there many Sense 2.1 ROMS, iknow virtous and InsertCoin.
Some other 2.1 ROMS
eVil has 2 mytouch ROMS - one is a slide the other is not
bsbokc has a mytouch rom (myVision 2.3.4)
virtuous had 1.0.2 before the 2.0
siulmagic has paradox (2.1 + 3.0 widgets like insertcoin)
suilmagic has Synergy (2.1 + 3.0)
I think there was a leedroid that was 2.1 but I could be wrong.
There is an archive out there of many of the ROMS @ http://xda.niksie.nl/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&view=viewcategory&catid=6&Itemid=1, I have nothing to do with it, but many thanks to Niksie

Manythanks to you friend for the link provided, i think i have some more to learn, android world moves so fast ^^
i'll experiment some more and see.
Oh one more question, do i need to install SetCPU or OC'd kernels are already pre-configured to mange cpu frequencies and voltages? or maybe there is a file to modifiy or customize?
Most 2.1 Rom's will use setcpu as the other oc's came out more on the 3.0 sense roms. Also check in the /etc for a virtuous directory, if there you can edit the files there to increase the clocks as well, but you will need to know what values to use as well.

Ah ok it's clearer now. so i'll do with setCPU on Sense 2.1 roms, thanks for the tips

[Q] anybody know any really good Sense 3.0 Roms?

I really like sense 3.0 i tryed RC Mix Sense 3.0 but i kept getting boot loop which is a shame
Because i really like the font called machinea something..
Go in the dev section and look for the RCMix3d 4.0 Energized. It's Sense 3.5 (more optimized than 3.0) and is the smoothest Sense3.5 rom I've used to date.
I´m using the coredroid, also sense 3.5.
Works well, only problem though, but that´s you will often encounter with Sense >2.5 is the minimal memory you got free.

boot loop means ou should full wipe from the recovery... thats not the ROM's fault... thats yours
—————————————————
I'm a 9gagger, if you are one... pm me
I do, do a full wipe i do everytime i install a new Rom? So how is it my fault exactly?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
Turns out the reason Rcmix was boot looping was from the extra fonts i changed to the cool machinea one. As long as i dont change the font its all good.

I would give vituous doubleshot a try if you want the landscape rosie, but it isn't the fastest sense rom though.
