I have to say that I am absolutely loving Virtuous right now. I have tried them all and it's my daily driver.

I am really enjoying the Uncommon Sense. Best I have tried so far.

Virtuous is clean and smooth

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

I use virtuous with rosie removed and launcher pro in its place with a hydra kernel and it's running like a dream. Can't really comment on the battery life since I am using an extended battery, but it seems to be okay.

[Q] What's your daily driver?

Relatively new to the G2, and I'm looking for a daily driver without having to experiment with 10 roms that all have one deal-breaking bug.
I like sense, which is good because it looks like pretty much all of the recent roms are sense or miui. I really wanted to have a sense 3.0/3.5 with 3d widgets, but it doesn't look like there are any stable, fast roms in this department.
So what's your go-to rom? I probably will start experimenting with all the newer roms anyway, but I want to get set up with a stable fallback first.
Thanks

As far as an AOSP ROM goes, I believe that meXdroidMod is hands down the fastest thing I've ever installed and it also has great developer support too. Here recently I've been all about MIUI so right now I'm running tun4fish's Bulletproof Miui. I'm in love with the speed and stability of this rom and the amount of customization you can do with it.
All in all it all boils down to personal preference. I like flashy, customizable roms so those two fit me. Play around and see what's right for you

I switch between CM7 and Beatmod Blissense. I prefer a more pure android, but I do like the UI and widgets in Beatmod.

Been running Bulletproof MIUI the last couple weeks. Solid daily driver with all the features I need and no issues.
When I get bored, I switch back/forth between CM7 and MIUI.

Been a meXdroidMod convert for awhile now. Really really fast and everythings smooth! Developer support is awesome too!

I started out with trying Virtuous Unity and Virtuous Doubleshot but found the Sense 3.0 ROMs were to slow for my DZ.
Settled for Virtuous Sense for the time being which is perfect for me. Also tried out Bulletproof MIUI just to try something completely different but that was definitely not for me so I returned to Virtuous Sense.

Virtuos Sense 2.0.0 for me. Stable, fast, no unexpected suprises.

I find any of the sense roms are too slow. On bulletproof miui currently and it blazes. CM7 is also quick and a joy to use.

I gotta go with cm7 nightlies here. Cm blazes on this phone at 1.5ghz. Check out the gps thread in development if you have issues with gps and your radio.

I've been running Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC-1 for 1027:53:15 hours. That's over a month without having to restart. Plus I have it overclocked to 1.5 Ghz with Pershoot's kernal. I've never had this kind of stability before. But unfortunately I will have to reboot to install the the final build of Cyanogenmod 7.1.

Been running stock rooted GB and recently tried g-lite but it was crashing my phone. Went back to Stock rooted, runs great and reliable

My daily driver is a honda crx haha =)

MIUI would be my daily driver. Speedy while still looking absolutely beautiful. Either of the builds by CarpeNoctem or Tuna4fish would serve you well

lots of love for MIUI here
as much as I like it too the OP said he likes Sense, so for me after trying absolutely every ROM with Sense, i like the InsertCoin. It has the battery and speed of your 2.1 Sense ROM but all the cool features of Sense 3.
I'd like to stress on the battery life - it's absolutely fantastic on InsertCoin.

As far as MIUI goes, I prefer Tun4fish's build (Bulletproof MIUI). Its updated weekly with the MIUI.US release, and has a great kernel and memory management tweaks. Super reliable.

It doesn't have any memory problems, common for Sense 3 ROMs?

Try using ILWT CM7
Its a rom thas is based on the latest major nightly build and it has the virtuos oc daemon
Its pretty fast and the battery is awespme!

I agree with this statement 100%. Absolutely the best and my favorite ROM out right now.

I'm currently on CM7 nightlies. CM7 is by far the fastest ROM I've used, and it just gets faster when you overclock it. If I get bored, I'll use tun4fish's Bulletproof MIUI for a change of pace.

My daily driver is IC 2.1+3.0 and its awesome on the Desire Z.

ROM confusion

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.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

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

Best Customs ROM for DHD

Hi
I'll like to know what custom ROM would be considered the best for DHD, what I'm particular about are the battery enhancement and enhancement in speed/performance. Would really love somn with a buttery smooth performance.
Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA

It all depends on your personal taste.
Do you persé want sense, or is a AOSP ROM fine too?
Try some of them and decide after that.
Once you get the hang of flashing a ROM it's no big deal, and your DHD gives you a feeling of a new phone every time you change it!!!
Most ROM's give you a better batterylife than stock, look in the posts of your ROM of choice
And with a new ROM you can safely overclock for a buttery experience
Good luck

It depens on your preferences.
For sense based roms i like most RunnyDroid or Er3bus XL
For non sense give a try to MIUI or lastest CM nightly.
Regards.

Android revolution hd is best sense rom hands down. Cyanogen for stock Android and ice cold sandwich for stock ics

I'm on smartdroid-T since 3 months. Its based on sense 3.5 (sensation XL) and the best rom i ever had on my DesireHD. 2 days battery life and smooth as a sgsII and it has all the Tweaks and mods that I need already installed (rcmix tweaks etc). I'll stay on it untill official ICS custom roms are coming.

i want to say
smartdroid-T maybe adjust you i think

IMHO....Rcmix 4.0, Smartdroid and Energy are the best.
All work perfect and fast.
Sense rocks!!
Matt

Thanks guys, I'm really grateful for the help and insight offered by y'all! Appreciate! :-D

how about Coredroid by Sergio76?
i used is seems very good on my DHD....

My personal advice would be to stick with any sense 3.5 rom for a while until official sense 4 rom is leaked and devs adapt that rom then you will have no reason to stay on sense 3.5...but for now all 3.5 roms are great so you can just pick any...and if you want to go minimalism then get: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587249

HTC Desire HD ARHD 7.3

I prefer sense 3.5 roms. I tried them all and in my opinion the ER3BUS XL is the best. Very very fast and smooth and battery life is excellent

in my opinion the moderator will close this thread cz there isnt a best rom it all depends on ur choice friend

i use ARHD for a long time , i think its offical rom battery life and smooth will be great !

I used to use ARHD from version 2 right up to version 6.x but since then i have been using Coredroid mainly because it looks nicer to me however like a few have said the ARHD does have a better battery life span but i can live with that as i have it on charge at night while on the xbox, its never charging when i sleep or during the day, a daily charge is fine for me

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.
