ROM confusion - G2 and Desire Z General

Hello and thanks for your time.
My DZ is driving me nuts. Phone's rooted, s-off, radio's changed--basically fully configurable. I've been experimenting with several roms and have yet to find one that "fits". Virtuous Unity--lags, Virtuous Affinity--lags (when I say lag I mean 20+ seconds for the notification bar to slide...), CoreDroid (latest) lags to the point of not being useable, G-lite--no lag but no features such as a decent calendar widget. All the ROMs I've installed have swap enabled and disabled--not a helluva lot of difference.
I'm looking for a sense ROM (is that wrong?? oh well) preferably gingerbread, that runs well with basic eye candy. Now please don't misunderstand, all the ROMs I've mentioned are works of art and kudos to all that develop them, I'm not trashing anyone's efforts here. Just looking for some people that have had good ROM experiences...or can offer some insight as to what I may have screwed up in my phone to cause this poor operation...
Thanks to all

Try the rooted ota version of gb sense made for your phone.

Go back a few pages and look at the sense 1 and 2 (and hybrid) roms. There are a lot of hidden performance jems there. Here are some my old sense favorites...and they are all gingerbread!
Virtuous Sense v2.0.0
Desire_Gingerbread_Sense 1.2 (very light/fast sense rom) (v1.2)
Synergy - (RLS1.1 10/9/2011) - Now With Warm Sprinkles!
InsertCoin_Vision Sense2.1 + 3.0 (v1.6.1)
You can't go wrong with any of them!

Thanks! Can't wait to try them.
This is a great forum

Virtuous sense 2. It's what the stock Rom should've been. Smooth, fast and sense.
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk

I use RCMix4.0 Energized Blue Edition and works beautifully...smooth and fast... its GB 2.3.5 and sense 3.5... u should try it!

Go back to G-Lite and ditch LauncherPRO for GoLauncherEX and download their GoCalendar app. Also, if you want FB sync with contacts while on that setup, download Contacts by Contactapps and enable FB contact syncing. Smoothness of AOSP with the versatility and functionality of Sense in one package.
I'm on Affinity at the moment and the lag isn't really unbearable. Sure some functions take afew seconds longer, but having the native integration as well as Sense 3.5 justifies the slight cost in performance. Overclocking to 1.5GHz also helps alittle with the lag.

are you sure you want sense?
for me all sense-roms i tried i got lags, too.
if you dont not "need" sense. check this rom: ILWT
it is awesome!

yes RCMIX3D 4.0 is the best ROM i think

You can try Android Revolution hd 7.0, is very fast and smooth Sense 3.5 ROM.

Just my two-pence worth - when you tried affinity did you enable swap?
Affinity is now my daily driver - with swap but without supercharging - supercharging have me very bad results - has been pretty rock solid actually, if not rocket fast.

best sense 3.x ROMs: android revolution HD and beatmod blissense
best sense 2.x ROMs: virtuous sense
best AOSP ROM: ILWT CM7

virtuous - extremely stable and customizable. Best so far. Did try a bunch of others and always came back to virtuous. In fact I stopped experimenting with others. I am going steady with her now waiting for it to ask me for a diamond ring to show real commitment.
I like virtuous. It's the closest to stock but with lots of mods. I personally love to rotary lockscreen from our friend ihtfp69. But I only tried skyraider during RC2. Cm is nice except no sense widgets.

I can say virtuous is probably THE best as far as stability and customization. It's by far one of the most polished ROMs out for the incredible right now.
I've tried both skyraider vanilla and sense and they are very nice ROMs as well. Unfortunately, a couple bugs bothered me and i always went back to virtuous.
CM6 was my first ROM and it was unfortunately too buggy for me. I miss a lot of things about it but overall, I realized there are a lot of things about Sense that i could not live without.
Desire HD ROM was also pretty cool but only because we got to see what great things HTC is inventing. I am also looking forward to dev's incorporating some things from it... like booting up in seconds!
Currently I am running uncommon sense and it's honestly just as stable (so far) as virtuous. Considering this is the first version of it, I am extremely impressed.
Since i was using virtuous with the sexyrosiemod and rotary lockscreen (but i really wanted the vanilla lockscreen), uncommon sense is pretty much my set up but built in the ROM already. As far as getting rid of bloatware though, i have to say virtuous is the easiest ROM for it. I had to use titanium with uncommon sense which really isn't that big of a deal but it wasn't as user friendly as virtuous.
EDIT: Forgot something important. I later found out that you can uninstall apps straight from the app menu in uncommon sense. very handy!
also, the other quirks in uncommon sense has really made me attached to this ROM. I never thought i would cross over from virtuous but I did and I don't see myself going back (due to personal preference not because it's necessarily better). If i was going to recommend a ROM to a friend, i would say virtuous.
From what you say cheese I'm going to give uncommon sense a try. So far I like it. Been only 10 minutes though

Uncommon Sense.
It just works for me all the way through. The bloatware can be a little annoying but it's easily taken care of.
I would have to say virtuous also. I was a big fan of skyraider and can't wait for gold. But uncommon sense was slow for me. I don't use rosie but I like the color settings menu and the status bars better than vanilla.

In my opinion if you're looking for the Sense experience Virtuous is the best one out there. It doesn't change anything drastically, and the UI changes are subtle and more of added polish than wholesale changes you'll get with some other roms. I really like the spirit of the project which is to remain as close to stock as possible but to give the user options that they don't have with the official build.
It's been rock solid for me, the only issue was the Gmail Update issue with 2.7 which was quickly resolved.
Redemption ROM-
Best if you want sense without the added bloatware
It's pretty fast too!

I think more people should try redemption. its been nothing but smooth.
Virtuous is nice too. great battery life with the custom kernel.
Actually, They're all really good. I've been doing a lot of jumping around from rom to rom because they're all really good. That's what's great about being rooted. Try'em all!
I like the new Uncommon 1.0 ROM. It is very clean and smooth and I like the small changes that were made. I am also noticing that my battery is lasting alot longer with this ROM.
I am also using Uncommon. Came from CM which was way too buggy for me and unstable.
I'm running with Uncommon Sense right now but had been on Virtuous after trying SR, Frankenrom, and the nonSense ROMS (CM, Ruby).
It's pretty nice and probably a bit more streamlined than Virtuous but still lacks something I can't place. I'd prefer Virtuous to have the power option to Reboot but while that mod is available, it conflicts with the Rotary Lockscreen mod which I like too, as well as the Revolution theme (well the rotary lockscreen conflicts). It would be nice to have DSP built in as well but aside from that these are both terrific ROMS. Hmmm...they should get married! Get the best of both worlds!
If you use HTC sense, which I assume you do based on the title of the thread, then Virtuous is the cleanest and most stable stock sense experience you'll find.
I use SR vanilla mostly because I only like SOME of sense, like the gallery and camera app. I use launcher pro too, so having a full sense rom wouldn't be too beneficial for me personally. Gotta love choice

What ROM should I use [backup and wipe)

Hello. I tried the cyanogen 7 RC3. It is my first custom ROM I flashed...it is ok, the battery last double the time it last with stock sense rom. GPS still had problems but with a different radio things changed a lot....I could manage to get the fix in 10 seconds with GPS status.
I don't know why, but last days I couldn't get the fix anymore...rebooting, and so on...didn't help. Changing rom would help me see if the GPS gets a better fix or not.
Second reason I want to try a new rom is the contact management, calendar, facebook photo sync. These 3 things aren't really too well made on cyanogen...the contact list doesn't look as good as the sense one. Same thing for the calendar and the sync of the contacts with the various 'accounts' (google, facebook, SIM). I would like a rom with sense although it will be difficult to abandon the cyanogen gallery....which looks fantastic.
I am going to flash the MIUI to give it a try (just see what happens). But what rom could you suggest? Maybe with SENSE in it?
I don't find the interface important...I mean the interface is the last thing for me in a rom, I know I would always stick do ADW launcher EX for the home screens....what I find important is the rest (battery life, gps fix, contact and calendar management, photo gallery and camera).
I know sometimes some features can be replaced by 3rd party applications (SMS archive, camera software, and so on)...but some other features cannot.
I wait for your suggestions.
If u want sense then try leedroid v2.2.3... if no sense then try ultimate droid hD.. amazing rom.. im using it now and i dnt think il. Go back to sense roms
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
leedroid was the first rom I ever flashed it was great, but now I want to try others just to see what its like
That's the reason I keep coming back to Sense Roms, the contact managment and syncing through my different social media sites. And it just does it, flawlessly. I would try Android Revolution HD 3.5.
I like sense for the contacts, calendar and the facebook thing (I am no facebook addict but it is nice to have the photos of the contacts in the contact list...and that is automatically done by sense when syncing with the facebook account...ok some other roms do that too but how sense does it is just better).
I also like some sense applications and widgets....unfortunately the widgets are lost when I use ADW launcher ex....I love adw launcher for the high customized home screens, animations, and everything....but with this I lose the nice HTC widgets (contact widgets, calendar widgets). There are some other widgets on the market that can replace the HTC ones...but again, they are not as good.
So in my case there is a very big war between:
- contact and calendar management of sense
- ADW launcher and htc widgets
- the great things the cyanogen brought
- gingerbread and no sense
- some other details
So many interesting things which cannot live on the same device...at the same time...for instance MIUI looked very nice but had an awful gallery, too little customization on the home screen, but many things were very nice.
Try Android Revolution 3.6 i thing is the best...

RCMix HD 5.9.7 is definitely one of the best, but you could also try CoreDroid HD GB 5.4 as well, they are my two favorites at the moment.
I just installing i00 Desire HD 4.1 at the moment............we'll see how that one goes!
But there is one thing I can't understand. What makes some user put sense away? I tried the 'ultimate droid' without sense...I mean, what's the point of taking it away? What are the advantages?
And also...I am now with MIUI 1.4.22. I wanted something new because sense or not sense, I always end up using the ADW launcher EX because of its app management, menu, visual effects and row customizations. So...what do you think about MIUI ?
And also, I can't go back to sense keyboard now that I am used to the ginger ones. Same thing for the power notification widgets (lights, wifi, gps, mobile data and so on).
I recommend CoreDroid 5.4 or 6(still working out a few bugs out one this one). CoreDroid was the first rom I flashed and I've loved it ever since. It runs smooth and has lovely eye candy.
MIUI! It's fast, very stable and it looks great. It's also much lighter then Sense ROMs which is about 280MB vs MIUI with 80MB.
And today MIUI is upgraded to 2.3.4
RCMix, brings to us full sens 3.0....in couple of hours. The sens keyboard can easily be replaced.

[Q] Can't Decide MIUI/SENSE/AOSP? :(

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
i personally have ILWT CM7... fast yet battery efficient... plus, there's alot of themes you can add to it so it can be visually good too
btw, i saw your work man! you are LEGEND!! i encourage you to make a ROM for us!

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
Check my thread, i got a bunch of videos of roms and see which one you like the best

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

ROM recommendations

Hi all,
Currentely I'm using Leedroid ROM, it's my first custom rom. Becouse of lack of any recent updates I decided to swith to some other rom. I really love Lee's philosophy and tweaks so I'm looking for sense 3.5 rom developed in similar to Lee's way. Two most important things to me is stablility and smoothness.
Which rom would you recommend me?
If you like Sense 3.5 based ROM, I would recommend you Virtuous Affinity (http://www.virtuousrom.com/). This ROM is great, very stable, and battery life just amazing compared to other Sense 3.5 based ROM I tried before this (ER3BUS XL 3.5).
But if you want stock Sense 3.0 feel without any crazy mod in terms of stock graphic and user interface like Lee's ROM, have a great stability, speed, and performance I suggest you to try Android Revolution HD (ARHD).
One thing I didn't like from other custom ROM for DHD beside those two are the other dev is trying so hard to modify the Sense interface, in my opinion it's kind of bad move since it's ruin the whole Sense experience, because not everybody had the same kind of taste as the dev. So, without any hesitation, I suggest you to go for Virtous Affinity or Android Revolution HD. They are the best.
coredroid is also very good, heavily tweaked for performance...plus it has got sense 3.5
And what can you say about Virtuous Affinity in comparison with Runnydroid?

I know many people love HTC phones for sense, but if you are willing to go out on a bit of a limb, I would HIGHLY suggest Virtuous Quattro, which is still in active development. Nearly everything is working (camera needs a bit of work) and it is wicked fast. Flashed it about a week ago and I will never again meander to Android < 4.0

Don't agree. It's too unstable and it's rightly labelled RC.
There's just too many things aren't working properly.
Just went back to ARHD - the most stable rom I've ever used.
I'm about to try Virtuous_affinity.
The only super stable sense 3.5 rom running as stock as possible as HTC have released it is E3RBUS XL, very good battery life too

I am not sure if I want to look any further.
Only thing I'd like to mention, since the cook JSLEnterprises forgot: the ROM will change the FS to ext4. As far as I can tell, this is NO issue what's however, except it will completely wipe and reformat the internal memory (SD stays untouched) so make sure you have a GOOD backup before you start.
Thanks from me JSLEnterprises, some awesome work!

ER3BUS XL3.5 is currently the greatest gift we have for DHD, the DHD is never the same again with this ROM running on it, you can boost its FPS it to high heavens with ultra smooth rosie and supercharger
What is the difference between virtuous sense 3.5 rom and Erebus XL?
Yours truly.

Recommend me a stable HTC Sense 3.5+ ROM ..

Hi guys ... I'm currently using Virtuous Affinity, and I've found it to be very slow and buggy, and I really want to switch to some other ROM .. Before Virtuous Affinity, I was using Virtuous Unity, which I found to be much better ..
So right now I need suggestions for a Desire Z compatible ROM, which is based on HTC Sense 3.5 or higher ... Or at the very least, it should be Sense 3.0 or higher ..

If ur fine without a camera virtuous primadonna is very stable and smooth
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
I actually need the camera ... If the camcorder is out though, I can probably live with that ..
Every 3.5 sense rom i've tried so far get laggy and buggy after time. I'm now using ICS mexdroid rom and this is really really really the fastest experienxe so far for me personally.
Try the energy series.
Virtuous Affinity 2.05.0 was a fantastic ROM to use after i debloated it and supercharged it. I used it for about 2 weeks with the HTC Amaze cam mod and that was by far one of my favorite Sense ROMs. I normally stick to AOSP ROMs though because Sense 3.5 is just not meant for our phones. That's the reason why we didn't get an update to Sense 3.* and that's also the reason why our phones won't get an update to ICS, because our phones won't be able to handle Sense 3.6 either.
just try android revolution. one of the best roms ever
I tried revolution, same laggy issues after some time. Even if you reboot every day. Pick an ics rom, they are working very very well.

jup, andromadus beta 3 is the best rom ever
ARHD 7.0.4:
i suggest you: unistall via titanium all unused apps/widgets (personaly i have only the calendar and the weather widgets) then you need swap,v6 supercharger,sd boost. enable swap, set sd cache to 8192, run supercharger(my opinion option13 for rosie and 6 for memory)
bulletproof the com.android.mms. cpu sleep 245 conv. wake 1.2+ ondemand.
you will have all time 100+ mb free not loosing you message(i rec to have the ghostly), playable, smooth. always you will have lag or freezes is a sense 3.5 rom in a 512 rem device. is the best that you can do. i have tried everything.
edit:BUT ALWAYS YOU WILL HAVE THE CAMERA FLASH BAG (flash doesnt open in the same time when the camera captures a picture so the image is black) this is the reason i let the 3.x roms. you cant fix it even install the amaze mod camera even a 3rd party app or different kernel...
Okay to cover this one more time:
Sense 3 and 3.5 roms are not ever going to work well on the G2 series. Dead Stop. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
The G2 series does not have sufficient system horsepower to properly run a Sense rom of this series. You want Sense UI and G2 in the same package? Great. Run Virtuous Sense 2. It is based on the DZ firmware and is very stable.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

You could keep a backup of a couple different roms on your sd card. That's what I do. Primadonna might not have a working camera, but audacity does.it only takes a few short minutes to switch between roms.
