Best Sense mod? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So after some research, I grew some interest for Sense.. I have a few questions:
Q1: Should I install Sense 3.0 or 3.5, I have CM7 right now, so don't really know if I need a specific version or something.
Q2: Which Sense mod is the best, or really good? Virtuous Unity? The Desire HD port? Need your opinions.
Will add more questions when they come to mind. Thanks

Sense 3.5 is just an updated version of Sense, with a few things added here and there that weren't present in 3.0. Coming from CM7, you can flash either version.
Sense 3.0 - Virtuous Unity
Sense 3.5 - either RCMix Runny or Darkside Sense

IMO, Virtuous Unity Sense 3.0 would be the best for you. it's very stable, and bug free (all the bugs solved in flashable zips)
you can flash directly from CM7 to Sense, just remember to make a nandroid backup! then wipe data, cache, and dalvik, and then install the Sense ROM.

[Q] Which ver. of HTC Sense works well with G2 ver. 2.3.4?

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?

You could have just taken a look at the dev section and see that there's only one ROM ATM that runs S3.5.

ALL sense 3.0 roms are very stable, the best and my favorite is Virtuous Unity (found in the development section). all the sense 3.5 roms are very stable and nice as well, THE ONLY BUG FOR ALL OF THEM IS UPSIDE DOWN FFC, BUT THIS CAN BE FIXED BY FLASHING A SENSE 3.0 CAMERA.ZIP FILE.
as far as rooting goes...

Ahh, i agree to an extent. For sense, it kinda depends on what you like. Virtuous Unity runs on Sense 3.0. If you ask me, i would tell you to choose the DARKSIDE sense which runs on sense 3.5 and has beats audio. I understand that u are new and everything but i fully suggest that u give a fair share of roms a try. Remember, make a nandroid backup of your faves...expecially of stock, thats very important because its most stable. Here's a quick list of roms that i suggest you try.
STABLE:
MySense (Stock Gingerbread)
MIUI
CM
Virtuous Unity
Virtuous Affinity or the DARKside Sense (both are pretty good and very similar)
Not Stable
Creamed Glacier (I highly recommend this rom)

I definitely will go to Creamed Glacier when it become stable.By the way,why did you recommend me that rom even it is not stable?DARKSIDE have issues or not?
Thanks
CyanogenMod 7 (CM7), extremely stable for me, great battery life, highly compatible with apps. Maybe not as glitzy as sense from stock. I don't really remember what stock was like. It lasted all of 3 weeks or less a bit over a year ago.

Don't bother, he didn't even give the rom a chance. He basically flashed it, looked at it and was like 'no me gusta'
I flashed rooted stock & installed Go launcher ex.I will go to Creamed Glacier when it become stable(camera).Thank you all for your help!
ROM
well, I think that it all depends on your preference. But if I had to choose which ones were the most stable, I would say either Virtuous Unity, CM7, or MIUI. CM7 is stock android, with a bunch of tweaks. Virtuous Unity is a straight-up Sense 3.0 rom, without any tweaks. MIUI is kind of it's own thing, you would have to go look it up. I only use MIUI when I get bored of using android ROMs, because MIUI is so different; it's like your not even running Android

Rom Cleaner or No-Sense++ work on MyTouch?

I want to install Virtuous Affinity 2.0.5.0 (switching from Virtuous Unity 2.39), but also want to install Rom Cleaner or No-Sense++ to remove some Sense bloat while keeping some of the other Sense components (e.x. - camera). Do those scripts work on the MyTouch or is there something similar? Thanks in advance.
I'm running that Rom now, & its pretty straight & debloated already...its really a good Rom.

ROM Cleaner and No-Sense++ originally came from the idea of slimming down the well known popular Android Revolution HD ROM.
But the scripts should work universally for all Sense 3.x ROMs. i checked the script, and all it does really is remove and add apps and stuff in.
So, yes, it should work on Virtuous Affinity...
Thanks. I guess I'll try with and without the scripts to see if it makes a difference. Thanks for the quick and helpful responses.
Does Rom Cleaner only work by using it right after you flash the Rom? I'm using the Android Revolution Rom Sense 3.5 and the only thing I wanted to get rid of would be some of the widgets

Hey guys just found this thread by accident.
If you have questions about ROM Cleaner we have "a" thread for that. (links in sig.)
Please feel free to ask anything.
If you get any problems we will most likely be able to help you...
No-sense++ hasn't been updated since early stage of Sense 3.0 and No-sense is a different thing compared to ROM Cleaner made by me and my team.
