Virtuous sense 2.0 has the extra power menu options. If you want the stock android lockscreen you can delete HTCLockscreen.apk from /system/app. I don't know how you could get the lockscreen from cm7 without using widget locker.
If you want the the extended settings in your notification bar I have created a few flashable.zip to add them. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16495562
Do Androids dream of electric sheep?

ty for your reply..
I made a mistake while typing my post...
Virtuous Sense 2.. hmm for me it didnt have the extra power options in the statusbar.. perhaps I should redownload..
so Im gonna retry that but the Sensation Lockscreen >> on my desire I have a desire Z Sense 2.1 rom with only the lockscreen.apk replaced.. could I use my desire's apk for that? I was actually looking for a full package, or a flashable zip
[edit] ps those extra flashable zips you created.. they are incredible![/edit]
[edit2]ROM: Virtuous 2.0 with the Sense 3.0 lockscreen and in ur sig TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTY
flashing v2+extra power settings+lockscreen.. that is exactly what I wanted
One final question.. which will actually be usefull... I was wondering if its possible to use the Virtuous OC tool thats in the pyramid ROM in virtuous 2.0?
[/edit]

Try my LeeDrOiD ROM, it has extended power menu, and has an addon for sense 3 features (lockscreen etc)!!!!!!!!

id go with cm7 but thats just me

If you want the all the funtions for daily then I recommend a sense rom. If you down with tweaking a rom then go with cm7 or miui

[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?

Gingerbread 2.3.5 loading sense 3.0

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.

Best Sense mod?

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.
