[Q] Which is the best Sense ROM for you?

Recently I joined here again and I've seen some new ROMs with the comming of the official FroYo. I've been here for a while looking for some Froyo Sense ROM and they all look really nice. I've been running Wildpuzzle after CM but it's a bit slow and now I'm searching a better one (if it's possible).
Which Sense ROM would you highly recommend?
Thanks for all and sorry for my bad english!!

All Sense ROM's will be slower than AOSP (Non-Sense) ROM's because Sense requires a lot of processing power. You can look at Sunaabh as an alternative to WildPuzzle but I doubt it will be as fast as CyanogenMod.
For me personally, I use WildPuzzle because I like to keep a Sense ROM, and, Live Wallpapers in Sense = Win for me.

I haven't tried any others, but WildPuzzle 0.7 seems very good currently, and not too slow at all, specially if you overclock it.

wildpuzzle v8.0 is the best Rom .

Im using wildpuzzle...
But
For me cyanogen is better,too bad camera recording and radio is not working and some other bugs.
Thats the only reason why im on wildpuzzle.

I hope for you that there will be an different way

WildpuzzleROM,even thou i'm using launcherpro to replace sense,i still prefer it over CyanogenMod due to the bugs and different apps(gallery,flashlight,etc.)

If you're looking for something that is reliable and fairly close to stock, just tweaked here and there, I'd say Sunaabh.
If you want a more tweakable and enhanced version of Sense then head over to Wildpuzzle. Can't really go wrong with that one.
I'd recommend trying out an AOSP ROM with a different launcher, like Launcher Pro, if you're game; the phone tends to be a lot smoother that way.

what is wrong with ADW launcher in AOSP?

Nothing. Some people do get crashes and instability using it though. Although I have been using the inbuilt ADW Launcher with CM7 since I have been using it, and, there have been no issues.
Also, for people who have spent time with both launchers, they are of the opinion that LP offers more features, and, is more stable.

hm ok...i've been using ADW on wildfire and X10 and 0 crashes or problems...
thanks

Perfect sense 2.2?

Before you tell me to use the search button i've been looking and trying out every sense rom there is and with every one of them there is something that's wrong. Now my real question is if any one could suggest a perfect sense rom. When I say perfect I mean good battery life and not laggy when switching through home screens.
I would be really grateful if someone did.
Thanks anyways!

Ok, I won't tell you to search.... but as this is a question..... I can tell you to post in Q & A next time.... and in my opinion, there is no perfect sense rom and never will be.... it can't be compiled just for our devices as their is no source code.... so it can never be perfect for our devices..... and another opinion of mine... sense sucks.... if you want sense so bad, but want a good working rom... do it this way.... install hyperdroid cm7..... install he launcher and choose the sense look in it.... then install fancy widget and choose the sense like clock theme.... then their, you have a perfectly working build that looks like sense......

Coredroid 1.6

Have you tried HE launcher off the market? That combined with the fancy widget that's modified to look like the sense clock really looks a lot like sense.

Not a big fan of Sense myself, but I agree its Coredroid..the last version I tried was v1.5 it was really good, free of most issues and incidentally my last sense build...After that its CM7 all the way, with some time for MIUI in between which is also quite impressive but when it comes to raw speed nothing beats cm7/aosp builds...

I recommend imilka's Desire HD.
The only disadvantage is slow booting.

No you wont, A moderator will

Hi,
Without repeating what diesburg has said, I am using since two month boyppc rom. The actual version on my hd2 is GB sense 2.3.4 v25. For information it is not htc sense but a look like called launcher pro (LP). It is enough similar to make my day and the batterie last for about 2 days, good speed and bug free.
The other thing that I like is the easy installation

I can honestly recommend any rom based on Sense 3.0. Practically no problems, no FC, ​​no reboots, and I have not noticed any graphical bugs. 300MB free ram after boots and Everything works like a charm. I almost forgot to add that cam records in 720p
But for me the fastest and best performing Froyo Sense ROM is IMilka's Inc. with tytung_r10 kernel for Qaliza_DHD, i tried this Rom on CLK and is the fastest for me and i think that if you looking perfect sense rom you should try this combination.

If you decide to go down the route of installing a fancy widget clock, try to find version 1.3.0 as its the most sense-like clock. if I find a link for it i'll pop it in here.
EDIT: http://www.filesonic.com/file/12961909/Fancy_Widget_1.3.0.apk

Wait camera records in 720p!? Just like in windows phone 7. OK try it out.

I actually ended up udi. Get launched pro with fancy widget and using theme manager with complete sense theme. I also got the sense dock and the sense wallpaper.
Do. Thanks for all the suggestions and help!!!

The thing about CLK is that its too complicated to install, I've tried once but failed.. I installed the rom in CWM and rebooted and it comes back to the white text and black background.....

i have tried alot of sense build...
i think rafdroid is great...
this build have more option to customize n stable support all app's that i used when that apps can't run on another sense build..

Takes a bit of learning but once you get past that you don't go back.

Freshly Sqeezed FTW. MrGaraks does wonders! miss MIUI! lol...

I tried a 1.7.15 official MIUI and seemed a bit laggish. I like MIUI style but i want a perfectly smooth rom, i hate lags
Suggestions? Sci-MIUI or Freshly Squeezed?

there are no major diffference between all of the dhd miui roms here. the differences are only optical and/or minor optimizations/customizations.
regarding lags and battery time it basically does not matter which miui custom rom you are using.
as far as i know no one of the miui cursom rom devs here is really changing anything on the original miui. or changes are only additional scripts for tweaking some parameters or including a customiuzation mod or a different kernel.
there is far less magic than many users might think.
mr.garaks freshly squeezed miui is a very good rom. the best about this rom is mr.garak himself because he is very fast at helping.
i cannt talk about rd miui (sorry if it is wrong, not sure about the name) by dekky as i didn't tested it. but judging from his changelist he also didn't changed much significant. so his rom should also work very good..
though, some of the tweaks one of us applies to his rom could make trouble for some users or sometimes it is simply a coincidence. try them out and where you feel most comfortable that you should keep. there is no real best miui rom.

I'm on newest official with supercharger and kernelizer and oc.. INCREDIBLE SPEED i just had to bold it
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using Tapatalk

I personally use the official released from "MIUIAndroid.com". That way I have a better idea of what's been done to my ROM, and I know that random tweaks haven't been done.
For issues regarding lag. I use LordModUE Kernel. Whether or not it actually makes a difference or if it's just the placebo effect I do not know. But I know that I enjoy the experience more with LordModUE.
Just my 2 cents.

@Arktihx : i fully understand you. that's one of the reasons why i started doing my own miui rom
i have a quite detailed change over stock list. and if this is not enough i am willing to pinpoint the changes. i think this should every dev do.

fast and lagfree gingerbread rom w/ Sense

hi, ive tried out quite a few roms and most of those who were with Sense, while beautiful, they had lag like crazy. i ve ended up with CM7 and MIUI as the top 2 candidates for daily rom however if you ve tried a rom with sense that is also fast and stable, id like to try it so let me know

Try the Virtuous Affinity v2.05.0

+1 for Affinity. Despite it being a Sense 3.5, there is little lag even on stock speeds and without supercharger.
If you want something alittle more stock, try Sense 2.0 from Virtuous by rmk40. I've been on all of Virtuous' ROM's and have yet to be disappointed by their Sense or AOSP ROM's.

What you said is very true. Although the expertly crafted sense 3.0 and 3.5 roms have reduced lag to a manageable level, once you run a few intensive apps, then return to the rosie you will experience some lag, unless you play with scripts and/or swap. The issue is not with the excellent work of the devs here, but with the severely limited ram on the Vision.
However, I have yet to experience and kind of lag on a sense 1 or sense 2 rom, and have not required swap. There is so much more free memory with the old sense roms, that rosie reloads just do not happen.

I'm 2nding mike102871 on this. If you really want to use sense as it should be, use sense 2.0 since it was crafted to work on the g2. using sense 3+ is nice, but the g2's spec doesn't actually meet the basic minimum requirement.
I suggest Virtuous Sense. It's the best out there for 2.1

AOSP or SENSE??

Hi all,
I am stucked by choices.. I love the AOSP ICS rosie UI and features.. but I can't live w/o sense apps and especially HTC Sync. Is there anyway we can have ICS rosie with HTC apps like premium navigation, messages, blah blah and importantly HTC sync ???

AOSP! Speed and efficiency!

It's speed and efficiency, over looks.
I've tried them all, but i always go back to Sense 3.5. (Waiting for stable for daily use 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6)

Well.. I was just wondering if we can have all.. aosp sounds fun but HTC have many widgets and HTC sync to provide the convenience that I need.
Will uninstalling HTC sense do the trick or cause the Rom to Fc?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

It's all driven by personal choice.
I installed an AOSP ICS rom and I loved it, but ultimately, for me the experience was lacking without Sense. So I dropped back down to GB with Sense 3.5.
I'm waiting for a stable ICS release with Sense, will upgrade then

Well, that's why I'm asking if there is any way to combine both..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I am also a huge fan of Sense. But i'm on IceColdSandwich and really love it for daily use. When there will be a working sense ICS ROM i will switch, but for now i'm going with the AOSP one. You can customize it so that it at least looks like a sense rom

do what I do...keep back up of another rom so if you get twitchy you can flip back etc..actually I have three at the moment .runny 4.0...this is my daily I use this more because of sense...ics just because its smooth and...sweet. and now got absolution.I'm not a gamer so save data etc doesn't matter to me..SMS can be retrieved if needed.contacts are on both so..my 10p worth
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Anyone else find battery life is poorer on sense roms, or is that just me? I'm currently using IceColdSandwich, really nice rom.

Well, an AOSP uses tons less space and ram, so i would imagine the battery life would be immense on that.
I flashed Virtuous Quattro and that used hardly any space in the system partition, where sense Roms use almost all of the space.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.. what I'm trying to find out here is if there is any sense Rom that is possible to be customised to look like ics without losing the advantages of some sense apps and HTC sync. I'm not into switching roms as I prefer to have one to work as my daily driver.
I know of coz ics Rom can be customised to be as close to sense but without sense kernel, there will still be missing HTC sync and some sense apps.

Ok I will put it to you simple. The only way to have sense apps is to use Sense. Non of the widgets work without the launcher being used. All of the apps can be replaced with AOSP versions. Not sure about the navagation as I would never use a phone to tell me where i need to go. Sync seems to be a big deal for you and not sure why. There are far better option out there.
So simply if you want to use HTC apps then you will use Sense.

yeah but depends if he wants the widgets..the apps themselves can still work,your not wrong though,the asop is quicker,battery lasts longer.can customize more,..sadly although i have them on my back ups,im a sense rom junkie,gets on my nerves to be honest. im hoping,with sense 4..they up there game now,sense 3.6 is..just with a few added bits not really an overhaul and its debateable whether because its running ice cream in the background if it will actually make a difference
forgot to say,although you can replace all apps from sense with others in asop.The mail app still in my opinion is one of the leaders for that sort of app. If someone could port that out of a sense rom id be chuffed lol
