MIUI, Cyanogen, or Sense ROMS??

which guys do you use and WHY?
i use Sense roms mainly for 1 reason...AUTO-FOCUS on VIDEO RECORDING...
i tried MIUI but uninstalled
tried CYANOGEN but eventually went back to SENSE roms.
as off 4/30 i am using MIUI_1.4.29_OsiMood v1.2 + WiFi Calling/ and i must say, i am kinda feeling the overall performance and ui. Might stick to this for a while.

Using CM7 because I've heard it's the quickest and with the best battery life. Never tried Sense outside of store demo's; while pretty I've heard it has lower battery life.
Never tried MIUI, though it looks interesting.

Which miui did you flash? The newer versions have wonderful ui, in my opinion xD ive never really stuck with sense just because there isn't much choice as far as customization goes. Ive run it for a few months though, and my battery life stayed the constant 12 hour drain cycle. Cyanogen is the g2's bread and butter, but UDroid is a good competitor for 2.3.3. Im using the sensation rom that rmk just ported. Just glitchy enough to be usable
It kinda depends on what you want in a rom. The best way to know what to flash is to try it out for yourself.

Which miui rom are u using?
im currently using MIUI_1.4.29_OsiMood v1.2 + WiFi Calling
but found that alarm clock would force close and alot of other apps would force close.

never tried miui, but have tried a sense rom, and immediately went back to CM7. even with CM problems at times, it has been the best overall. I did not like sense at all. Sense tho does have some nice widgets and i would like to have some of them on CM7. beyond that, ill stick with CM7, my phone only started acting out when i changed from CM to other roms so ill be staying with CM7 period. my phone had no problems until i changed to another rom. so i guess im more scared to try other roms now lol

Am for MIUI all the way... It's just a personal like thing you know.

MIUI is kinda laggy, i love the newly leaked rom fro tmobile, but somehow it won't recognize my router so i can't use wifi at home. so at this moment i will stick with cm7

Well, i like Sense rom as it link my FB,Twitter & contact with great Clock/Weather/Friendstream Widget. It's free (unlike Launcher Pro that u need to pay). once got the OC kernel, my Desire Z is superb!

Cyanogen doesnt have autofocus on picture/video?
I strangely doubt that and even if it doesnt, there is problably a alternative.

Don't ever use another miui that isn't from ganii. His rom's are always more stable for some reason. He just released his version of .29, you might wanna use that instead.

I say cm7 is the best. But it all comes down to what u like personally. My girl has virtuous and thats a hell of a good rom too. I might try the new miui soon.

agreed... shouldn't really hate on other devs miui's. they both work great and ive had no issues with either.. i use both depending on what i feel like updating to..
im currently running ganii 4.22.. i don't wanna update and have no reason to latest build of miui.. change log doesn't interest me, and i don't wanna have my theme uncompatable or lose trackpad wake.
and miui has never lagged for me, and shown better battery life than cm7, cm7 kinda gets "boring" after a while.. just personal opinion thou.. i like it, but i like the customization of miui better. plus its alot easier to change themes.
idc for sense.. i havent used it for a while, but i always had some lag issues although im sure they are fixed now, and customization was minimal.. besides there sense layouts..

umm I'm on UD ROM 3.3.0 and i can truly say im pleased with my G2 at the moment, but I've always wanted to try a Miui Rom, but i don't know where to find it? can anyone provide some links and tuts?

MiUI Rom
Please check out that link!!

After trying numerous versions of all three, I usually stick with a custom version of CM7 or Stock GB roms. MIUI, while pretty, just doesn't do it for me. I don't like the layout. Sense is nice, but once again, I don't like how it is setup.

Ever since I flashed OsiMood MIUI, I've never looked back. I've tried CM, Ultimate Droid and MIUI and the latter just has everything that I want in my phone. I've only tried Sense on somebody elses phone but didn't like it one bit.
MIUI is not only visually stimulating, but also has a great UI and is very easy to theme. Everything about it is just great and I would recommend it before any other ROM.

Ever since I tried MIUI OsiMood 1.06.03 I never seen anything so good. I am comfortable with the iPhone UI and the fast blazing feel. However the battery life is a little off, so you might need to download "JuiceDefender" but everything else the keep improving so no need to worry, the battery life gets better and better every update. You guys should give it a spin. This rom is amazing!!!

Try Desire HD vfive by wildstang
Everything is very stable that i've seen except the video recording
idk lots of people are having issues with that
they should really just put the 2.1 until they get it to work :/

What is the best ROM ?

I was thinking about flashing some sense 3.0 or 3.5 but I wanna no way u guys think is the most stable ROM
Sent from my Droid Incredible 3D using xda premium

Personally the Sense ROM's are too laggy for my taste. I run CM7 and then load on a bunch of customizations to make it look hella awesome

I'll agree with u on that one, but the taste on sense 3.0 and 3.5 is awesome. it runs ok for me, its not too laggy tho
Sent from my Droid Incredible 3D using xda premium

The best way to find the best rom for you is to make a nandroid of your current setup and try whatever rom you are interested in. Because what some people might find to be the best rom here you might not like. Its all based on taste. I will say this, if you want speed and battery life go aosp. If you want pretty widgets and can put up with lag go sense.

Yea I'm down with sense

Wildstang's roms have always been solid for me. I would recommend his 3.0 Rom based on the desire hd, it is optimized for a single core device with WVGA resolution so it is just as smooth as our OTA. Battery life is pretty amazing, I get about a full day out of the stock battery with moderate use. That's from about 6:30 am to about 6:00 pm with about 20% left at the end of the day. If you chose his rom, I would wait until vfour drops tonight or tomorrow morning to flash so you don't have to start all over after you set everything up.

Im running Nil's current 3.5 sense Rom. I haven't tried any kernels with it yet.
I've flashed CM7, MIUI, Gingersense...etc. Personally, you just have to try what's best for you.
I'm loving the 3.5 sense with 3D movement. I don't think I'll go back after this ROM. I've tried Nils and Newt. Both are very similar. But very awesome.

I prefer Nil's. Nil's rom + tiny's kernel ftw

Stangs vfour had a lot of fcs so I went with newtoroots latest sense 3.5 Rom and I'm loving it

Geeze... I've gone through so many ROMs on that dInc in the last 2 days I can't keep them straight. If I'm right, that's the same ROM I slapped on there last and it's working like a dream. It seemed like an honestly finished piece of work. I'm so happy not to be dealing with that butterfaced CM7 anymore. No offense to the devs, but two things really irked me a little in looking for ROMs. First, names and OPs that didn't describe what the ROM was. Second, no mention in the OP of major known issues... like a camera that FC's after every pic??? And I saw one that didn't even have a download. Instead it pushed you off to Rootzwiki. Kinda goofy, I thought. Don't even ask me to point fingers because I wouldn't even if I could. Frankly, I don't remember anything I flashed except that last one... because it worked and I liked it. The others got a 5 minute interview and didn't get the job and were promptly forgotten.

I can't mess with the 3.x roms to choppy/laggy. I think the 3.0 ports show just how outdated our hardware is. Ive just been rollin with the 2.3.4 GB release. The speed and battery life is great.

Im runnin newts 3.5 sense build 1.02, and it smokes everything but the ota roms out there, but its real close. A few kinks to work out and it could be the best dinc rom ever.

I've gotta represent for Jermaine. I'm running InSensitive Minimalist 2.3.1 right now and it is great, very fast, smooth, stable. Basically the OTA with all of the bloat and more removed, including the Rosie launcher.
Why not just go AOSP, you might ask? Well, I feel like the Inc just runs better with the Sense framework, and I'm a sucker for the Sense apps, Mail, Camera, Music, Gallery, People. That ROM is the best of both worlds, IMHO.
I've tried a few Sense 3 ROMs, and they were a lot of fun...but they ultimately felt like an awkward fit.
But here's the bottom line...there is no *best* ROM. There are a lot of options, especially on this phone, and you have the freedom to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences. That is the beauty of Android, of XDA, and of the many great Devs.
So...happy flashing and much respect to all the Devs.

Have to say joelz's shooter rewind 3D has been running great for the past month or so, waiting for his new Sense 3.5 release before I retire shooter. Gotta be honest, out of all the roms I've flashed, joelz's usually come out on top.

lol... well yes, but that ruins the purpose of MIUI

I bounced back and forth between sense and miui for weeks, and finally decided on miui. For my phone, miui is way faster than sense. My battery on sense would only last a few hours under heavy use. With miui, I can go all day and still have battery left over in case I forget to charge it when I go to bed. The argument that using a third party launcher doesn't make any sense to me. The purpose of custom roms is just that, custom. With miui, I can do whatever I want with it just about, it even already has a pretty extensive theme database set up that's as simple as download and apply. Every miui theme is fully customizable, and is compatible with go launcher, which is the launcher I use. I just can't give up my app drawer for some reason. I love miui so much, I even use it on my Nook Color over CM7, it's all about speed for me, and sense really slowed me down.

I like Muiu because it isn't as bulky as sense and still manages to look really good. I basically only use launcher pro so I can keep my app tray. As far as speed and battery, it seems that Miui is the sure winner. I will say that Virtuous Unity seemed a lot less buggy
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

MIUI for me lol. It honestly comes down to the fact that I can have heavy use, lots of customization and still get insane battery life.

I just flashed VU 2.39 again just to see if I would miss it since I used that before Miui and nope. I can't see myself leaving Miui for a sense ROM in the foreseeable future.

Me personally, I don't get better battery life on miui. I get around 12-15 on miui and virtuous unity 2.39 I get 16-24 hours with tdj kernel. Miui's operating system is faster in general but it's not like sense is slow at all so no problem for me. GPS on miui would take forever to lock on then it would drop and require a restart of the app after 5 minutes. Sense GPS locks in seconds for me and doesn't drop. But besides the lockscreen, dr. dre beats eq for music, and overall sense polish, the real, make or break reason I use sense over cm7 and miui is the integration of flash in the sense rom. It just works! No black screens or choppy stuttering (after fixing the the black screen problem by stripping permissions on the flash file) like on miui am cm. Basically if you want your phone to just work then sense makes sense. Use a launcher like go launcher if you want a speedier set up with all the sense integration and under workings. That's what I do. I couldn't be happier !

I prefer Miui simply for the customizations and battery life. I'm a heavy user so battery life is essential and I get roughly 17hrs out of it using tdj kernal. By no means is there anything wrong with a Sense rom, it has great battery life and is visually appealing as well, guess it all comes down to taste! And everybody uses their phone differently and has different setups which determines the battery life you get. Battery Life and Customization is what I look for and is why I chose Miui

My Droid Incredible ( Lag Test )

ok guys, so today i will be bringing you guys a video of my Rooted Droid incredible and i will be running a Game Lag Test for you
I am using the Liberated v3.0 Custom ROM and Stock HTC Kernal
(if you guys can recomend a good Custom kernal for little as possible lag, good connection, and good battery life, it would be greatly appreciated)
ok guys so tell me what you think
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPw2fhHgLHg

Looks pretty awful as far as lag goes. If there was a free version of NFS I'd try it out as a comparison but unfortunately $10 is way too much.
I've never been happy with any Sense based ROM. Always slow and atrocious battery life. CyanogenMod for me. Much smoother and more customizable. If you want to stick with Sense I really can't give a good recommendation. The day I left Sense for CM I never once looked back.

Wat are u using to capture this ?

That's interesting, I actually prefer sense. Cm actually had worse batt life on my phone anytime I used it in comparison. I would suggest using the ultimateinc Rom 1.1. I've had my phone on with light use using tinys kernel since 8 this morning, It's 630p right now, and its at 70%. I would say that's great batt life.

This. Are you using an app on the device? It looks like you are, and that alone will slow it down horribly.
I'm a previous Incredible owner and I am actually the developer of the ROM you're using. NFS Shift ran just fine on mine.
