I installed Nand Android Nexus Gingerbread 2.3.5 on my HTC HD2 and tried to load sense 3.0 but get a kernal error message. I use DFT and the MADLDR with Clockwork recovery. I'm a noob and need some suggestions on how to fix. Thanks.
Sense was not cooked into the build you are running. Manually loading Sense is possible, but most of the time, it will result in a buggy build. Manually loading Sense 2.3 was more successful with the Android Builds, but its harder to get Sense 3.5 working on your own, unless, you are familiar with debugging and advanced troubleshooting. It is possible, but it will take some time. The best measure is to install a cooked Sense 3.5 build. Or if you really want to stick with your current build and have a 'Sense' like UI, you might wanna try LP Sense UI with Launcher Pro or the sense theme for Go Launcher.
Noob question: Is sense basically the HTC version of Android? Coming from the WM 6.5 I like Android better, but miss the HTC Sense that was originally on the phone.

In essence you are correct, Sense and Android are the same thing, just like WM6.5 & Sense are the same thing, it's just a skin layered over the stock OS. HTC has added features and changed some things of course but overall that's what it boils down to.
As said, you can not just load Sense onto a stock Android rom, you will need to flash a Sense rom to achieve that.
For noob clarification: If I back up my apps and other things, and remove gingerbread 2.3.5, I can flash Sense 3.0 or 3.5 using MADLDR with Clockword recovery and it will be an android again? Should I clear the cache before flashing Sense? How do I check what radio I have? Thanks for all of your help.

If u back it up with titanium backup,there shouldn't be any problems as both are nand builds.u can clear the cache,but it is not compulsory.to check the radio,u should power on your phone while holding the down volume button.

I was planning on rooting a new (but used) HTC magic I will be buying tomorrow (Rogers canada) and installing the supereclair rom from cyanogen (5.0.8), but I saw a video with the droid eris sense 2.1 rom running on an HTC magic. The sense interface looks nice.
Is there a way to install both? Do I install the cyanogen 5.0.8 supereclair rom, and then is the droid eris sense interface something I can install on top of it and turn on/off?
I've been searching for this but have yet to find anything other than video's showing it running.
Thanks!

So in other words you want to switch between CM 5.0.8 and a Sense UI rom?
The only way that you can do it is by using a custom recovery such as amon_ra 1.7.0 and do a nandroid backup, wipe EVERYTHING (and I do mean everything), install the other rom, do a nandroid backup of the other rom, then do a nandroid restore of the previous rom to go back. There is no easier way and it can be risky because if anything interrupts the process it could mess something up. If your sdcard becomes corrupted then everything is lost. My advice? Find one that you like and stick with it. But what do I know?
The cyanogen mod should run faster and more smooth than the sense UI, is that correct?
I'll probably just stick with cyanogen and wait until CM6 comes out.

That is correct as long as you do not use swap.
Can anyone help?
As the title says - I'd really like help from you talented developers -
I love Wildpuzzle Rom. Love it to death. However - I can't (currently) get it to work w overclocking - I have one of the phones out there that only work w Jacob's kernel 4.1 - and none prior to that - and danne_jo's version of that kernel unfortunately just makes my phone restart at htc splashscreen all the time...
So I have 2 choices - either wait for danne_jo to somehow / sometime fix that kernel -
or....
change to cyanogenmod or openfire...
NOW. I am desperate to have HTC Sense in my phone. It's a must. Can't use the vanilla stuff, can't seem to get used to them, miss HTC Weather, Contacts, Dialer, Clock, list goes on forever.
So can anyone helpout here - PLEASE - do a flashable HTC Sense package that will work with Openfire or Cyanogenmod - or preferrably both.
My gratitude goes out to you people for your great work so far - and your possible help on this.
And danne_jo if you see this - I miss my Wildpuzzle a lot. Please try to make Jacob's 4.1 kernel work on Wildpuzzle (Froyo Version). It works on every other system but Wildpuzzle on my phone!
Thanks for your time!
+1 to that...
And if possible add flash support with that

If only Jacob's kernel works, then flash it to Wildpuzzle. It is fully compatible and is available standalone from Jacob's topic.
As for Sense, it's highly unlikely. At some point in the past there was a version of sense available for Cyanogen. However, in efforts to make the mod wholly legal, all components were removed. As far as I am aware, it would take extensive work and knowledge of the Sense UI code to build it into any ROM with an AOSP base.
If what you miss are the home screens and dialer, I suggest looking to LauncherPro and beautiful widgets, along with some of the custom dialers that exist.
I'd like to see this taken a step further honestly. A plain ROM with the 4.1 kernal, a pack to add the HTC apps (like there is for the Google stuff), etc. That way, one version of a ROM can be tailored to suit everyone interested in trying out of the growing user created ROM's.
I would if it worked. Both the one found on Jacob's kernel thread - and the one specifically made for Wildpuzzle by danne_jo causes bootloop on HTC Splashscreen. Why I have no clue. The one found in Jacob's thread works a treat on both Cyano and Open - only Wildpuzzle won't work.
And no, I'm looking for the whole Sense thing - except a few apk's that I can remove later...I MUST have HTC Contact above all, then Weather, Clock, and a few more...
Why is there no Stock Sense Froyo -
IF I figured out the howto's I'd do a Sense Rom based on Chinese Froyo - adding Sense from Stock 2.1 - w all the Chinese junk removed, Rom Manager, Root Explorer, Linpack, Setcpu, Superuser, Busybox added. Rooted, Deodexed (whatever that is), and OC'd w Jacob's 4.1 kernel.
Why has noone done that rom as of yet? I very much doubt I'm the only one who'd like such a rom.
And WHY oh Why won't Jacob's 4.1 kernel work on Wildpuzzle!

Kernel works in wildpuzzle eclair
Sent from CM6 on my HTC Wildfire
It may, I've never tried - and would rather not as I would like to keep the froyo speeds...
So basically what you're saying Jacob, is that your 4.1 kernel doesn't work w Froyo version of Sense? Not Wildpuzzle nor anything else? Am I correct? If Yes - any clue on why - and any plans of doing something against that? Same problem as before tho, won't give us an ADB as freezes/restarts before it connects...always on the HTC Splashscreen...
Any clue Jacob?

It won't work for me with WP Eclair. I lose wifi connection.
Not tried WP Froyo since the first release of it as I need the contacts shown and want the weather location to work.
Not for those of us w more bad blocks i'm afraid...
I would really love it to but it won't - gives me the same error that all the older OC kernels did w everything... - restart/freeze on htc splash screen so I can't even get an adb logcat...
but only on Froyo Wildpuzzle - works on Wildpuzzle Eclair (which I am now temporarily using, until Wildpuzzle Froyo is made to work) as well as Cyanogenmod and Openfire perfectly

I think this might help
Using Clockwork recovery is actually much better in my opinion and enables you to backup your Rom. I don't think there is a Daf version but if you have any questions on how to install just message me and I can walk you through it. It is actually really simple!

These have not been updated in a while and there are more up to date Rom's out there just to let you know
Hi Yerdan. I would like to ask you to please elaborate on that. I am also looking for Android roms for my HD2 and currently running Rafdroid. I would like you to list a few very close to stock Desire HD roms with the newest version of Sense.
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 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.
