How do you like it? Anything you miss about CM that sense 3.0 does not offer?
AOSP has significantly better battery life. At least in my experience. YMMY.
YMMV, I mean.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
yeah, any AOSP blows the battery life of any sense 2.0 and higher away. I played around with newtoroot's 3.5 version yesterday and liked it. The widgets are cool and I found it entertaining. Switched back to AOSP for battery though. I don't use widgets, my phone is pure utility only, nothing fancy no no widgets.
First Sense ROM I actually like
Have been on Team Blaze's Sense 3.5 based FEARMEde (the Hybrid version) on my EVO 4G for almost a week. It runs quickly and smoothly and has had most of the HTC crap stripped out of it. Technically it is in Beta, but I've had no troubles with it so far. And the battery has been pretty good using stock kernel...similar to what I was getting on AOSP ROMs using Savaged Zen kernels. I'm about to flash ChopSuey kernel to see if it improves battery life.
Sense 3.5
OK,I went with nocturnalbliss sense 3.5 rom to my evo4G and absolutly love it, I was running cm7 nightlys,I really don't give a crap for 4G anyway(I live out in the boonies)Even thou I live a half mile from the nearest cell tower,too manys trees around to get a excellent signal...But the bliss rom is really decent,but for some reason when i download a app from the market,(does everything)when it says installing such app,screen comes up"Package file is invalid"....I tried clearing data/cache from market,shutting down a few times,etc,I do have my gmail,Any tricks,info,files i need to get the install to work? any help would be appericiated...Thanks.. I put my old gapps on this rom,installs now but crashes all the time,least I'm getting somewhere..Thanks...Nobody to help/opinions on this,
I did CM for a couple of days. I ws too used to sense. I like the sense time app, the clock widget, the calender. I used beautiful widgets when I switched to LP on my stock phone. Once I rooted and did sense 3.0 after cm, I stayed.
I made the opposite move. I was using Synergy for awhile and tried a few different sense 3.0 roms. So far, CM7 has far superior speed mostly from not being ram starved like the sense roms were.
go launcher + beautiful widgets is pretty close to what sense offered and is much more customizible as well.
I miss 2 things:
sense camera (miui closest thing to it)
4 application lock screen (haven't been able to add more than 1 app to lockscreen)
If you miss the camera, you can change the settings to 6mp wide and it is very similar

For me thus far it's a tossup between gingervillain and virtuous, I love the sense feel and style but I can tell the strain it puts on my g2 when compared to running gingervillain. If i could get the htc widgets and skins on gingervillain with go launcher as the "stock" launcher i think i'd be set. all in all though my vote is:
gingervillain.

Which ULV kernel are you using?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
CM7 nightly. Stock with no fuss and all the options I feel should have been available in the first place.
MIUI
Hands down MIUI wins
heck, even CM needed their help with thier FM radio
Its fast, its stabler now (1.2.4)
and battery just lasts longer with it, not to mention, better perfomance
I like its easy editing mode.
I like the dock that stays there and how it manages its screens.
I love that is has built features, other roms need apps to do
Wireless Sync Ready, Wireless Thether, ready ect ect
has some battery saving modes that really do help
Better theme management
Built it Back up app which backs up your system settings, texts. call, address. and apps
Simple setting guide with tabs in the button
I get around 12 hours with stock battery (with 3 hours of internet) and calls/texts
CM is good and all but just seems like a typical stock with a few added twicks to it
I have tried all of the G2 ROMs except for the ugly new ones. I would love to take features from all of them and put them all into one ROM, however I think MIUI wins because it is so very customizable and it's only getting started, although new releases are delayed because they need to be translated into English. With this being said I would love to take features from all of them and put them all into one ultimate ROM. However I am not a developer, and I would have no idea where to start.
I use the 1.85 stock rom, not because I like the HTC sense UI but becouse I find useful a couple of thinks, mainly the USB menu that can be defaulted to anithyng, and the HTC email app.
Also Gingerbread looks ugly on the DZ (unlike on the milestone I used for a whole year) because the UI is mainly black, and the black of the DZ's screen is so poor, so greysh.
My favorite so far is the CyanogenMod 7 nightlies. Amazingly stable for something that isn't even labeled a beta, has only the basics out of the box, and great battery life (even better with Pershoot's kernel). A big seller for me is the fact that I could customize the autobrightness levels which makes my phone much more usable in the typically dim environments I use it in, a feature which is also in CyanogenMod 6 (if not earlier versions, too). I also like ADW.Launcher so its inclusion by default in CM works out great for me. Gingerbread's simplified, higher-contrast, and more subdued UI scheme is leaps and bounds above previous Android versions once you get used to it, IMNSHO. Basically, it just makes using my phone more pleasant on a day to day basis and there's not much more I could ask for in a phone's OS.
Well I like my Virtuous 0.9.
It's pretty stable and I like the sense look and feel. And Virtuous just adds the goodies to that as well as bugfixes and some basics for essential topics (like vpn etc)
Eventho I does not use an advanced kerlen I am right now at 30% after 15h inkluding 100% wifi on, 2h contigous browsing while on subway and sticking around a while in the xda app.
And for sure moderate usage of sms and phone.

Which Rom and Kernal do you guys think is best when it comes down to battery life?
using Virtuous 0.9.5 with the advanced kernel.
only thing is that all htc sense roms seems to be a little "laggy" ... when i first got my phone i thought those htc widgets are awesome (friendstream, news etc), but over the time i disabled them actually all - so i'm really thinking about switching to cm7 nightly builds.
only thing i'm concerned about are the missing security "features" sense provides (disable the phone, locate the phone etc etc)
GingerVillain for speed, CM6 for stability.

Hey all!
So I've been with my NAM(Bell) Desire-Z for a few months now.
I've a fresh new 1800mAH battery and I wanna get the most out of it.
From what I've noticed, I don't really need any of the HTC widgets. I'm bound to find better replacements even if I do.
(Widgetsoid is an amazing widget alternative)
So I ask... do you think SuperVillainZ or maybe Virtuous might be better for me to try out if:
- I want better battery life
- I want a more responsive UI
- I want to stick with SenseUI without the bog-down effect
- I want to keep the SenseUI camera
- I like the SenseUI mail app.
??
Here's what I am hoping to get at as well....
-replace the HTC People app with the stock Google Contacts app
(HTC People + sync is driving me insane)
-replace the HTC dialer with "Dialer One" (an amazing Dialer replacement)
-retain 7 homescreens
-get wifi calling
-No huge need for overclocking, but definitely underclocking to save battery
-openVPN <-- i need this
I don't mind using a different UI/Launcher and I'm not pushing for 2.3,but it would be nice of course.
I'm using a bell desire z on rogers myself, I would suggest cm 6.1.1 for battery life as I ran it for a week and got rediculously good battery life on stock battery. I'm currently running cm7 nightly and have no complaints, battery isn't as good as 6 was but its still better than stock. as for all your extras your looking for I can't comment too much on as I'm still new to the desire z as well as cm. my main reason for suggesting cm is not only the customizability of it but I got sick of sense. yes it looks nice and its semi cool, but I find cm to be cleaner and less "busy". and adw ex let's me setup my homescreens just right.
sorry I can't help on the sense referral your looking for...just my .02 though and welcome to the desire z/g2 family

Same here i got a Bell Desire Z and the Battery life was Horrible ~ 12 hours max Sense.com, facebook were killing me.
Try MIUI its really smooth like a iphones but you might not like it as its like an new OS almost.
CM 7 RC would be best choice on cm7 nightly builds i got 24 hours with 2-3 hours use which is a lot coming from sense.
I would say Cyan Rc1 its really nice and stable
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
id recommend cm7 rc1 with flippys 1.8Ghz kernel.
I am running it at 1.4 and getting a really good battery life.(better than stock cm7)
but if you must have htc stuff id recommend virtouos rom.
Hmm... the only thing I really need from Sense is the camera/camcorder. Is it included in Virtuous? SuperVillainZ? other?
I too was thinking of going to CM7 RC1 because i think sense is one of the big reasons my battery is so poor because of all the things in the background, i was wondering though if i would be able to take the HTC touch input and camera from virtuous say and install them on CM7? And how good is the copy paste in gingerbread?
I just like the few little UI things in sense, only reason ive stayed with it
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I would try CM 6.1.1. I've been using it for about a month now and it's great. I've tried Virtuous 0.9.5 and come to the conclusion that Sense is just not for me. Way too busy, and the launcher/home just isn't customizable enough.
I tried CM 7.0 RC1 for a couple days, but was getting choppy performance switching between screens on LauncherPro. It was worse with ADW. Must be some performance tweaking that needs to take place on that ROM.
Unfortunatly htc apps will not work on any other rom unless the rom is based on htc sense . The only htc app that will work is flashlight . I am running cm7 just now but virtouos rom is very awesome. And it has a very good battery life .

I've only used one ROM, and that's CM7. While I like Sense, I really like CM7's lack of it.

I'm between CM7 stable and Skyraider 3.5
Once Skyraider 4 drops I'll make a decision on which to stick with. I just flashed CM7 again earlier today, but I'll probably flash back tomorrow.
I'm a big CM7 fan. I view Android 2.3.3 more important than sense.
Warm z twopointtwo all the way. The appearance of 2.3 with sense 2.0 and a very well done UI. Give the newest nightly a shot....it may not be your cup if tea but I bet if you tried it you'd love it

CM7 fan here...
I used to be a huge fan of skyraider. Was my goto ROM for several months. I then tried MIUI (great ROM... just not a fan of the UI), and a few others. I settled with warm 2.2. I used that ROM for quite some time and really liked it as well.
I eventually made my way to CM7 and have been using it for roughly two months now. Very stable and getting great battery life (you can see my config below). I've learned to significantly customize the UI and notification bar and have been very happy thus far.
I may try SR 4.0 or Myn's Z ROM... we'll see. The only thing constant with my phone is change
Happy Flashing
+1 for warm z 2point2. I had used skyraider 3.5 for a long time and am loving 2point2. I tried cm7 and it just wasn't for me...havent tried nils yet.
Nils new update is working fantastic for me!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
It depends what you value most. For me, battery life was a very major part in my decision- probably the most important.
CM7 with chad's kernel and a bit of underclock has some crazy good battery life, you probably already know that though.
To be honest I don't know why this is a post because it just comes down to preference
Nils is a great developer and very active on fixing any bugs or problems with his ROM's. If you shout him a change or something you'd like to see there's a real possibility you may see it in the next release.
I started out with Virtuous, switched onto Skyraider Athena, and now CM7.
I really enjoyed the sense aspect of everything, specifically the dialer and fb connectivity... other than that I didn't care much.
Then I switched to Athena, it was the best of both worlds, dash of sense, pinch of vanilla. basically was vanilla with the exception of dialer and the aforementioned.
Now on CM7 I decided to jump ship and go full vanilla, and it's awesome. The sheer amount of customization within the ROM (including all the themes) is just awesome, and I don't think I'd switch to anything else.
I had CM7 on mine for like 2 days and it ran great and then started to get really slow and stupid on me so I flashed back to Incredibly Re-Engineered 2.4. Over the past month I've grown to love sense (had an og droid for a year), but absolutely hate the dock thing for it. I wish I could have all the sense features but use a dock like ADW's.
My biggest gripe with the aosp roms was having to use a different lockscreen. I got so used to not even looking at my phone to unlock it, but cm7 has me covered there as you can choose from several lockscreens in the settings. The only other thing I really missed was the messaging widget but I was able to add a shortcut to the messaging app to my lockscreen slider so it's even easier to check my texts. I was only ever truly happy with Lou's redemptive revolution before cm7 came around.

Right now I'm using faux123's AOSP Gingerbread ROM just because I like the speed and fluidity of AOSP.
Im Using UD. Its a pretty great rom but im getting tired of gingerbread and its little flaws for our mytouchs. Like the ffc for video chat being upside down and the lack of apps able to run properly
Everything? Right now RG 1.6. In about an hour probably fauxes AOSP to try to fix some stuff... (of mine that's broken.... not fauxs.. don't freak out).

I want to love the cm7 releases and they do work well but battery life seems to be much shorter than it is when using RoyalGinger. Anyone else have the same experience?
Running eViL's 4G-HD DesireHD port. I found out that when it comes to usability, pure Android is lacking A LOT compared to Sense (specifically - contacts/dialer, Exchange mail, browser), I'm tired of Gingerbread quirks, and I don't like the T-Mo Sense skin too much, so I'm running the pure Sense version.
As of a few days ago, running cm7 latest "stable" build. It's the first post-stock rom I've run, and I love it! So far very happy with the seemingly faster smoother experience, and battery so far seems much better than stock. I might get around to trying Royal's as I hear it's even faster and better with battery, but I'm wary of constant flashing lol, I just want a solid steady rom to use as my daily, and so far cm7 running LPP over it has made me happy

I felt the same way until trying Launcher Plus Pro (LPP) - no it's not Sense, but offers many similar sense-like widgets that in my opinion actually work BETTER than their sense counterparts, i.e. the "Friends" LPP widget is SO much faster than Friendstream, and serves the same function, and LPP's calendar widget is much more efficient, you get both grid and agenda in one widget. Add to the widgets the far-superior customizable dock and I haven't looked back. Only drawback to running an AOSP rom over sense is the phone-related ui elements definitely suck, i.e. the dialer screen, etc. Overall though, totally worth the shift for me.
Royal Glacier v1.3. Its all in my signature. Fast and smooth with all the mt4g features available, great on battery life and performance and love the theme also.

I'm not using Sense for the widgets. Actually, I'm not using a single Sense widget on my 7 screens - even though I really like the full-screen weather animation that comes with HTC clock (but not willing to sacrifice half of my main screen for it).
I've been running LPP on stock Android for a long time using various ROMs on my Nexus One, including Gingerbread versions. The obvious parts of the stock-vs-Sense I already mentioned, but there are less obvious parts. The integration with external dialer in stock Android is bad, different screens coming up one after another for checking missed calls, very slow contact photo rendering on long lists, etc. LPP sucked when taking the phone off the charger every morning, having to restart and reload all the screens. Since GB it also sucked, being unable to do zoom-out and show 7 busy screens without hiccups, having to reload caches after every heavy app launch or charging, and scrolling slowly when using really busy screens. So I stopped using it and dropped GB in favor of Sense, and this preference remained when I moved to MT4G (my wife wanted the Nexus, I finally convinced her to move to Android from her antique WinMo).

Hey guys if you dont know me I was a rom dev for the xperia but moved on to the DZ. HAven't yet made a rom for the DZ, yet.
But I have been flashing non-stop since i got this phone. Its just I can't decide what I should stick to, and what will match my needs.
So im a highschool student, calendars reminders are big for me and staying organized. I play basketball and watch it too so video and stuff is needed.
But Im also a dj/producer and i need the best sound. I also like to play games ocassionaly as well.
I really love Sense 3.0 but I cant handle the laggyness even with swap enabled, is there anything else that can be done? I was on virtuous 2.00 (sense 2.1) for 2 weeks it was stable and all, but the battery was pretty drainable fast. BlissBeatMod is promising if some of it can get less laggy. And we'll have to see what Virtuous Tretanique (Affinity) will go.
Aosp is nice and fast but I dont really get the nice looks and features that miui have to offer.
Miui is really nice im running BulletProof right now. But i still dont feel like its the "one". and the quality of music isnt as great on sense even with equalizer options on.
PLEASE TELL ME ANY SUGGESTIONS, ALL WILL BE APPRECIATED

Thanks a lot, once I decide what kind I will produce I will start.
Ok Im running ILWT. It is amazing. I put a theme on. Very fast. But still some reason it just seems "boring". And the sms app on aosp/cm7 isnt as sexy.
yea i know exactly where youre coming from, I always want a newer prettier ROM... I wish someone would release one that just didnt look like it was android almost, and not like iphone, or anything, something with an original GUI.. yes i realize that's a lot to ask btw and not something I would be able to do myself but I think it'd be cool and get a lot of support! In the mean time the one I've found to be the freshest for me is MIUI because of how the themes affect like everything and really the launcher is what catches my eye, im kinda excited for the ROU launcher
i used to use cm7 and miui before. cm7 is lightweight rom, smooth and has excellent battery life. but it is lack of killer feature such as in its sms functionality, the smart dialer and etc. of course you can always download apps from market for that functions but it takes forever to load those apps on startup.
so i moved to miui, which i am currently running with bulletproof miui rom. it is rich with functionality, ridiculously-convenient-built in-features and interfaces, but consume more battery compared to cm7 unless you made certain tweak on its OC/UC. but its interface lacks of originality because it is obviously a mimic of iOS. but so far i m happy using miui.
i want to try sense based rom, but from what i learned, sense based is laggy. i miss sense interface though. look clean.
OK, if you think cm7 is boring (and I agree) I suggest you give MexDroid a spin. It was my DD for quite some time. The only reason it's not anymore is because I found Bulletproof MIUI. but I'm sure you've already tried MIUI. if not. Tun4f1sh's Bulletproof is the ONLY one I recommend.
More options would be most welcome I'm sure. I'm trying to figure out how to port roms from hd forums at the moment. The collective's absolution looks pretty sweet.

If you use bootmanager (market app) you can install sense / miui and cyanogen at the same time... Only thing you have to do is seeting up the phonerom as sense (miui and cyanogen based mods run very smooth booting from sdcard)

MIUI is great, iv been runing Bulletproof, it's definitely unique miui whit its virtuos oc controller witch cough my eye. But now i got ICS fever on me, not for the isc gui but some of the features. I stumbled on Galnet MIUI whit ics framework. runing fine, tried it for couple days, and the batterylife seems fine, maybe. Ill stick to this since it seems to work, and hope for updates whit possibly some new ics features.(its still same MIUI ui and functionality)
after we get somewhat working ICS, i will try that a little, and propably get back to MIUI.
I'm on Bulletproof MIUI at the moment but since the iPhone-esque UI makes my eyes hurt I installed LPP and some icon pack (can't remember the name). That way I still have the looks of Android but can combine with the impressive speed and flow of the Bulletproof MIUI ROM.
CM 7.1 for me lacks a little bit of polish visually (can't wait for CM9!) compared to Sense based ROMs and IMO MIUI offers that. I like Sense but any Sense based ROM I've tried has started to get laggy on me after a while.
Bulletproof MIUI for the win...I also like good old Cyanogen too, but for a nice mix of speed AND looks MIUI is tops for me
Love the look of Sense, but too slow and laggy

in this few days, i have been testing 3 sense 3.5 rom, beatmode, affinity and rcmix.
for someone who has a very sensitive sense like me, i cant stand to wait for the phone to response due to insufficient memory in sense 3.5.
its time to go back to miui bulletproof.
I have tried many of them. CM and MIUI is cool, I just miss too many features from sense. Sense 3.0 is either laggy or will get laggy after a while. So, I always go back to my Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 NAND backup.
But: question here: why is this draining the battery soooo badly? Apart from this, this could be THE perfect ROM.

Sense is smooth and polished, but every custom Sense ROM that I have ever flashed is a battery hog, even the Sense 2.1 + 3.0 hybrids.
So my current favorite is G-lite 1.05 - it's like stock + overclocking + better than stock battery life (due to deep sleep)
I like sense and am currently running Virtuous Afinity but I can see me switching to an ASOP build of ICS when it's stable enough

Curious to know what you like most about ILWT, especially compared with mexdroid and miui?
