I have never done this before, and I am not affiliated with the Dev team, aside from being a huge fan of them, but I just wanted to let everyone in the Incredible community to know about a Rom that Team Bliss ported over which is currently running sense 3.5 I just started using this Rom this morning and it is by far the BEST sense Rom I have ever used. The Rom is only in beta stages now but it is already good enough to run as a daily, at least for me. All the main functions work, 3G, WiFi, GPS etc. Also you can receive MMS while WiFi is on! There are still a few bugs here and there but nothing that can't be fixed by this dream team of Devs. Please try the Rom and if you like it donate to the team or at least hit the thanks button. THANK YOU SO MUCH TEAM BLISS, I feel like I got a brand new phone.

I completely agree, although I'm currently running Wildstang's 3.0 rom that is smooth as hell, that new rosie seems very intriguing.
If I've helped you, hit the thanks button!
Agreed. It is very stable for being in Beta. If it wasn't for that pesky Camera FC, internal storage issues, and not being able to see the skins/wallpapers this ROM would most likely be considered a stable or at least a good DD.
Need help
I am looking for an oc kernel for the new bliss team rom with 3.5 sense. Any help would be appreciated
Good luck with that Steaven.
Cam fc is due to the cam being in Burst mode, change modes and the fc goes away. HDR works great. Unfortunately the default is burst so you have to change it every time.
Can't wait to see where this Rom ends up. We can make this thread a discussion about it so we don't fill the ot with our blaberings.

There's one kernel with OC support that works on gingerbread sense ROMs and that's mine and I don't recommend it for this ROM as you'll lose the ability to mount the sdcard to copy and view files from the PC. Run stock if you want that working, otherwise you can use my kernel in the development section. It's a quick ROM from what I used without overclocking.
Some cool tricks I found. Can't put my phone down lol.
You can change the tabs on the new quick launch widget by dragging it to the edit circle on the bottom left of the screen. Beats erasing it over and over to edit.
Also you can change the tabs on the bottom of screen on some apps like People and Phone. Hit menu/more/edit tabs.
I will be using the app boot manager to multi boot this rom. not really worried about the sd card not mounting as cm7 will be my phone rom and can someone post a link to tiny's kernel?
Been keeping my eye on this one, these guys ( devs) really rock! The time and dedication they put into theses Rome is truly appreciated.
my Dinc
I'm running it right now, and I think it's great. It's a little slow, but it sure is pretty to look at.
I hope the devs fix the browser so it properly word-wraps text when you zoom in.

Well in the development forums you should find it. I think it's called HTC bliss sense 3.5
This project has been cancelled due to a better more compatible version of 3.5 on the Runnymede. Newtoroot just released a beta version, which is fantastic. If anyone was looking to try Bliss I would check out Runny first.
How install runny?,because I can't error E: can'topen/sdcard/primexl3d.zip.please help me

So, with all these ROM's flying around, i am deciding to create my own. But i have One big question, is there really any reason for me to? Seeing as there are already so many good ones out there, would mine be welcome with open arms and tested by people? Am just curious before i start cooking.

you'll never know unless u try. Some roms are received better than others; for what reason I don't know.
Do your best and post it. People will try it.

Alright, ty Im installing the kitchen setup now, so ill get to work on a sense based ROM first before i dive into a vanilla ROM(which i prefer)
Its always better to have more choices I believe. And who knows, you might become the next American ROM Cook.
welcome to the wonderful world of ROM creating..have fun, test, trial and error everything u compile..and who knows just like Kevlar said..
u may very well be the next American ROM Chef
if you finish that sense rom try and put htc widgets on a non sense rom! that would be so freaking cool!!!

Put me on the list of testers if you need anymore
ok, so, ive made some alterations, apps, launcher ect, and wated to load it up and test it, well when i went to flash it, it said cant find.....(bad), any ideas?
Ill be more than happy to help you test this ROM out...
I'll also test for any up and coming devs out there. but i will give you guys some tips on which roms i choose and why.
1. Everything has to work. I use my exchange email, gps, wifi and maps on a regular basis.
2. I love having the ability to overclock but i dont really see a point for ridiculous frequencies. Its not like i'm running a gaming server from my phone. I have the ability to overclock to 825 mhz and still be stable with my current rom but i keep it at 710 for my battery life.
3. I love having different launchers, lock screens, status bars and things like that but live wallpapers are a no go. Every time i touch a live wallpaper my phone freezes and reboots.
Right now i am using ic3rom 2.7 because everything works and it has wired tethering.
If you guys can create a rom that everything works and do some extensive photoshopping it is almost guaranteed to be a hit.
Hit me up on andirc.net #droideris
I'm lurking occasionally. But I'd love to even get involved in cooking up some roms with DS36 or chaous2000
I'm d33d in the chat, and I'm available at alexinslc [attttt] gmail [dottttt] com
Isn't that what open source is about? I'm no master of code, but I can learn fast.
Also, my eris is open to testing roms with very similar guidelines (must have exchange, gmail, txting, and phone.) that's about it. Would like 3G and Wifi if possible.
So I decided to buy ROM Manager to support the project but have to admit I was a little disappointed. Sadly I prefer the candy coating of Sense to that of CM. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to like in CM too. I just tend to like the polish of Sense. Regardless, I had thought I might have direct access to many of the ROMs I've seen throughout the forums. Apparently that's not the case. Does ROM Manager only support CM ROMs?
No worries. I know I could get a refund for the App and return it but I'm cool with it. Maybe in the future more ROMs will become available for it for the Incredible.
Rom Manager supports virtually any rom, it's just a matter of the author setting up his server to work with Rom Manager AFAIK. More will be added eventually.
The chefs have to opt in to be included in ROM manager. Moto Droid had tons of stuff to choose from and I loved it. I have yet to see anything interesting in ROM Manager for the Incredible. Urge your favorite chefs to participate!
Ok, thanks guys. Hopefully things will get more active in the future then.
ROM Manager will gain more roms in due time, there isn't really alot of roms out for the inc as it is now. Also like mentioned its up to the rom devs to put them on there. They will come.

I used to be a fan of Sense, but the fact of the matter is that it's bloated.
There are plenty of alternatives in a ROM like CM for all of the Sense features you'd miss.
Also u can download any ROM and use ROM Manager to install it. Just download rom go into rom manager and choose install from SD. Imho its easier than booting into recovery and installing. So, i. A sense it does support everything else. Its also ez to manage and restore ur backups through ROM manager. Once u use it for a while and figure it out it can b a very handy tool if u are addicted to flashing ROMS. Goodluck i hope this can b of assistance to u
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yeah the developer of ROM Manager strongly encourages all devs to submit their ROMs... Other phones such as the Moto Droid have a much larger selection... As ROM development gets further along, there will be more on ROM Manager for Incredible as well.
I think the incredible has been hurt by the lack of phones available. I don't recall the original moto droid having inventory issues like the incredible. I think this has hindered rom development and availability of different roms. Imagine if we did not have months of no incredible phones available. The popularity of the incredible might be different, thus in my mind making the demand and supply of roms more available.
I am a big fan of Cyanogen's roms so not that big of a deal for me. I know that once the drivers are released the camera will be fixed. I am wondering if we will be able to have video out with cyan's roms?
Either way - rom manager is a great program and has a lot of different functionalities and uses. Some listed below:
flashing other roms (duh)
nandroid
partition sd card
fix permissions
Let's hope that HTC releases the drivers soon

No there isnt ... there are a few similar apps that just dont quite do it and there are others that are such crapware you would be embarrassed to show your phone to anyone. Seriously when i went with a vanilla UI and tried to find alternatives to Sense widgets and apps, I found out just how crappy the apps were on this OS.

Well I'll have to half agree with you there, there are some Sense widgets that I could never find replacements for. It's really a trade off, although it would be nice if we could somehow extract some of those to be used with a 3rd party or even stock launcher
Looks like SkyRaider was added to ROM Manager

Regardless, it GREAT that other cookers are starting to get in on the action. I think more people will end up trying their ROMs too. It's a win - win for everyone.

Sounds interesting, but it'd be nice if your battery lasts longer than 20 minutes on a full charge, unlike when you're running Sense.

I think I saw something posted in ROM Manager in the Sky Raider area to fix this. Don't know the specifics or if the video is working. I plan on installing the ROM when I get some free time later.
So I would like the latest and greatest, but seems like so many roms being released in dev forum are missing a lot of functionality or broken. The only rom that I ever kept and still am using is called "Koni's Elite" something. Is there a sense 3 rom that has gps,4g,sprint hotspot, gapps etc etc all working? Why do people even release broken stuff in the first place.

The Elite 3 is sweet he is coming out with a Elite 4 be4 long. The latest rom's aren't really broken they are built off the latest OTA leak and some other leaks. So it's all for eye candy and something new for people to mess with.
Until sprint does the OTA update the latest roms that are built off leaks are buggy. They are waiting on sprints OTA to get all the info and fix all the bugs that are in the builds so until then they are just working with what they have.
Try kings rom or CM7 there nice. The Devs do what people wanna have and see and have. They want more eye candy something new even if it's broken or buggy. So there working pretty hard to keep things going.
No there is no sense 3.0 that is out or anything that is built off it that isn't bug free yet.
Hope this helps PM me if you want to know of some other roms that not buggy and are nice.
CM7 is all you need...........
CM7 is great to use waiting till they fix most of the bugs or till the next stable build comes out. If you use CM7 keep it update they had to fix a security issue with the older builds. This is a sweet rom tho. Nice clean.
King's rom out of this world is fast decent battery life.
Virus rom's are nice.
Look in the Dev's list wiki.
Myn's Warm Point 2.2 is sweet
Mik's Rom is fast and looks great.

Go back to stock and stop taking up space in the general forum with questions which should be in the Q&A forum.
Really? These people put in their free time without pay DEVELOPING rom's to work on our phones. That is why it is called development. They release it to us "broken" so we can test it and help them in the development, and because it is fun for us. If it is that much of an inconvenience for you then either don't flash it or develop a ROM yourself that is bug free. These guys work around the clock to try to bring you the latest ROM/leak free of bugs. It is not as easy as you might think.
Lol there are still good roms out there im happy we get to test things without having to pay a big ass feee to try. Since it's free and you can edit it makes it a playground for good stuff to happen oh yea
CM7 is the latest and greatest (AOSP) and is fully functional minus 720p recording.
Tapa tapa tapa

Thanks. That cleared things quite a bit. I will give CM7 a shot bc I can live without 720p recording on a crappy camera. Didnt mean to sound unappreciative of the communities efforts.

Thanks. I've done a couple of basic Evo roms, but I really don't have too much free time on my hands these days. I have two little kids at home, and working full time, plus 2 part time jobs to pay the bills. It's expensive to pay rent and support a family here in California -- super expensive!
This is more a proof of concept i have been working on since yesterday. I love aosp roms but i hate the lockscreens, sense 3.0 is where its at. I stumbled upon a new lockscreen that may be ported into the cm7 roms soon. Its a honeycomb sytle lock. It is available in the OMFGB nightlies only.
I basically modded the framework.res with png's i found from the miui & widgetlocker sense 3.0 lockscreen themes. As you can see from my screenshots this looks very similar to the sense lockscreen. The only thing it will not have is the 4 shortcuts.
Now i need some testers and some modders to help me out in porting this from OMFGB to other aosp roms such as cm7 & liquid. I am a themer, not a coder. As you can see from my screenshots i cannot get the ring to recess at the bottom and when you go to unlock it cuts the top of the ring off. This is where i need help, i believe a resource file or xml in the framework needs to be modded, i cannot do this.
To me this has huge potential, we could possibly even port custom rings over like we have for sense roms.
*Credits go to whoever created this honeycomb lockscreen and to the makers of OMFGB.
Lets see what we can do with this guys. Pm me if you feel you can help finish off this mod.
http://imageshack.us/g/560/snap20110814101033.png/
Edit: I have attached two zips below. The sense_theme can be flashed via clockwork on OMFGB only to show you guys the work i have done. The sense3d zip is all the files i used to do the mod and the framework.res from OMFGB. feel free to use this to help get this lockscreen completed. So you know, i flashed a different style font to get the excact look of my screenshots, yours may look different depending on what fonts you use.
R2doesinc is now onboard to help finish what i started. He said he will include this in a future OMFGB nightly. But as we know alot of projects never get finished so if you feel you can help with this theme or use it in your aosp rom, get in contact with me. I definitely want to see this concept be completed.

i could make a black ring, we just need to find a way to make the ring recessed at the bottom and not cut off when unlocking. i doubt we will be able to make shortcuts as of now. i also love the look, we just need to get this ported to cm7 and or other aosp roms. right now it only works in OMFGB. hopefully the cm team will approve the honey lock into his nightlies, i know it has been submitted already.

lol yeah, i have no idea how to mod xml's or resources. that's what i think need to be done to position the ring properly. best of all this works better than any 3rd party market app out there right now.

this was posted at rootzwiki as well. testers yes, i need them but i also need a devs help to edit the theme so the ring is positioned correctly. i hope we can get this to work on all aosp roms. as i said the potential for this is HUGE. i can see custom rings being ported over as well. it's like having the best of both worlds here while not taking away any elements from aosp.
Amazing. I don't normally run OMFGB so I can't use it on my AOSP rom right now, but I'll flash later in the day just to try it out.

to get this ported to all AOSP's would be awesome... no matter what ROM's im testing or trying, i always seem to come back to CM7.
Im going back to liquid until this can be ported over. i hope the cm team approves the lockscreen so i can theme it. if anybody wants to continue developing this to get the ring sorted out, pm me.

ive been talking to R2 and this will be available shortly in their nightly. he is also implementing the 4 shortcuts with a on & off type toggle so everyone can be happy. once this is complete i hope we can get the aosp devs to port it to their roms. the source will be available on the githubs. glad i started this and never thought it would actually take off.
I was on Legendary and then SimpleROM but I'm ready for a change as long as it is stable (like the ones I just mentioned). I tried reading the threads but they keep changing and some are very long.
Just wondering if someone knows since I have been on only this 2 ROMs for nearly a year.

Try out CM9.
It's pretty popping fresh.
Also, MIUI.
And in the future, we discourage best ROM threads.
Depends on how you use your phone. CM9 beta 0 is stable for a daily ROM. But If your a power user like on your phone nonstop then you will find yourself wanting a charger.
Also gotta ask the question to you want to move to the MTD side.... best bet is to read up on everything, then test out different roms till you find one that you like.
Sent from a CM9 powered Epic.
If you want a good stable Rom the marcusant rom version3 and the shake and bake theme are a nice combo. Also cm9 is also kinda nice but its still in beta
Threads are long because everyone is trying to butt hurt everyone else, and there are a lot of useless postings (such as this one). Just be sure whatever rom you use has the appropriate thanks, documentation and GPL reference or you will get blasted even as just a user.
Just try them all, go nuts, have fun! Just be sure to do whatever you can to brick your device so you can provide yourself with the logical reasoning to upgrade as quickly as possible.
Sent from my, is it safe to claim, personally semi-tweaked (but not shared) and still therefore kanged??? sammiEpic running some CM9b0 shiznizzle.....
Thanks to all that offered good advise and options.
And to clarify a few points:
1 - I did not ask what was the best ROM (I know better than that).
2 - I respect the advise of the users here and do not wish to try them all. It simply takes too much time when all the ROMs say to wipe everything clean including data. It's a very long process putting everything back the way it was. The last 2 updates I did did not update my programs so I had to install them all manually plus their data. And as some of you may know, restoring from backup is not always a good thing to do.
So... I really appreciate those that provided a few options for me to try. Will do soon. And btw I alway provide feedback to the thread on the ROMs that I try. Comes from being a technology administrator for many years.
Thanks again,

If you need battery life then use cm7.

CM9! Seriously it's ****ing ICS and you will be surprised by how stable it is. There are bugs but as a daily driver I personally haven't run into any.

I was on Legendary and then SimpleROM but I'm ready for a change as long as it is stable (like the ones I just mentioned). I tried reading the threads but they keep changing and some are very long.
Just wondering if someone knows since I have been on only this 2 ROMs for nearly a year.

In order for someone to answer this you have to let people know how you use your phone. Are you hooled on the Touchwiz interface? Then it would require some work and getting similiar apps for CM7, CM9 or any other AOSP ROM. If you just want to update to the newer firmware and like how your phone is running now, then Sleeper or CleanGB. If you need more app space then you want to go to an MTD ROM like CleanGB MTD. At least read the OP's of any ROM you are considering to know all the features.

CM9 ICS
I've been using CM9 ICS since alpha 2 and I had to Odin my phone back to stock for some weird reason. It was so strange seeing the stock interface after using ICS. "I can't swipe notifications away? What is this vertical scrolling? Bloatware???" So yeah, beta 0 seems good enough for me for now, plus the battery life is way better than stock.
CM9 for sure. The only real issue was the phantom voicemail but there is a fix for it now (as of today).
Loving the CM9. It's like a new phone!

Tried CM9 and it was allot more stable than I expected. However it still needs work and is not as solid as stock. The lag overall started to annoy me along with other things like garbled text messaging, 4G issues, occasional reboots, and no visual voicemail, but the devs are doing a great job.
I am on Clean GB right now and will jump back to Thunderhawk when Random updates to El30.
Dont flame my opinion, please.

Hmm, No. I tried the RC0, but not the Beta. I think I am picky and just need everything to work as good as stock or better.
