hi, ive tried out quite a few roms and most of those who were with Sense, while beautiful, they had lag like crazy. i ve ended up with CM7 and MIUI as the top 2 candidates for daily rom however if you ve tried a rom with sense that is also fast and stable, id like to try it so let me know

Try the Virtuous Affinity v2.05.0

+1 for Affinity. Despite it being a Sense 3.5, there is little lag even on stock speeds and without supercharger.
If you want something alittle more stock, try Sense 2.0 from Virtuous by rmk40. I've been on all of Virtuous' ROM's and have yet to be disappointed by their Sense or AOSP ROM's.

What you said is very true. Although the expertly crafted sense 3.0 and 3.5 roms have reduced lag to a manageable level, once you run a few intensive apps, then return to the rosie you will experience some lag, unless you play with scripts and/or swap. The issue is not with the excellent work of the devs here, but with the severely limited ram on the Vision.
However, I have yet to experience and kind of lag on a sense 1 or sense 2 rom, and have not required swap. There is so much more free memory with the old sense roms, that rosie reloads just do not happen.
I'm 2nding mike102871 on this. If you really want to use sense as it should be, use sense 2.0 since it was crafted to work on the g2. using sense 3+ is nice, but the g2's spec doesn't actually meet the basic minimum requirement.
I suggest Virtuous Sense. It's the best out there for 2.1

i've been running honey 3D for about a week now and it's very smooth has anyone else had any issues with it?
Not really. Solid ROM with excellent battery life. Had a problem with my phone constantly restarting but a backup of my important files on my SD card and then a format of it cleared up that issue.

Well I used to be a fan of samuel for the honeysense roms, but I tryied honey 3d, and honestly its best to install virtuous unity and just install the honey 3d theme, its faster and battery lasts longer.
I think honeysense HD 7.3 was the best rom I have ever installed on my Inspire it was stable and smooth had a lil lag but nothing a lil overclocking couldnt fix

I tried both Virtuous Unity and Honey3D. Strangely, Honey3D ran very smooth, but Virtuous kept freezing. I know Honey3D uses Virtuous as a base, which is why I found it so strange

Same with Virtuous Unity here. Had this with every Sense3rom I tried. But seems to me that this is still a lot left.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Sense ROMS use way to much rom. MIUI and Stock uses a lot less, and run therefor much smoother imo.
but the rom is smooth
I flashed the Honey3D ROM and I found that it was a very smooth performance and good battery life.
As with all Sense 3.0 ROMs its a little RAM intensive but nothing that is obviously noticeable.

I have been using only Sense roms since I switched from WinM. Sense 2.0/2.1 have always been fine and there are a lot of Roms available that work great. I am currently using Dungphps Sense 3.0 Rom and I'll admit that at first it was really laggy and had a bunch of issues but it has progressively gotten much better. Currently the V2.3 Magldr Rom by Dungphp is awesome. It might be worth a check if your interested in making a change
Try this rom..
Miui with sense, ultrafast and stable..

it is how it is. Sense roms = slow, miui/cm7 roms = fast. I was allways the Sense guy, till i tried miui Now, i cant imagine going back to Sense any more.

What exactly do you mean by 'slow'? I've found that froyo/sense ROMs run a lot smoother than CM7 ROMs. They seem to flow much better, for example when opening switching homescreens or opening previews, the transition is much more smooth than on typhoon, and that's from experience with MCCM's HD on SD, which should be slower. I get much more RAM on CM7 and apps etc open a LOT faster though, so I think I'll stick with it until a stable Gingerbread/sense rom is released. I'm also tempted to try MIUI, although I hate the launcher.

Sense uses a lot of memory (RAM), so for good performance a good memory manager is necessary. I use that and a start-up manager to control what programs run in the back ground.
Most programs don't need to run in the back ground, they will start-up when executed.

I've used few Sense 3.0 ROM on my HD2 till my digitizer dies on me. I would suggest you include V6 supercharger with your rom n you should see the difference. Phone is much snappier but the graphics are still a little buggy.

try Dungphps, they are the best sense 3.0 roms I would just recommend using auto killer memory optimizer to Get rid of the lag and set to 70, 80, 90. I personally have it set to 90, 100, and 110. Remember there is no substitute for a real sense rom

Honestly, all sense 3.5 roms use less ram than sense 3.0 roms
its cos u need about 150mb free RAM to play it, and on that ROM you wont get anywhere near that
works fine foor me. virtuous unity 2.37 kernel unity v6
Works fine for me, bit laggy when driving around but quite playable.
I'm using the stock pre-rooted rom, Unity v9 kernel @ 1Ghz.. Have you got SWAP enabled? GTA will fill up your RAM so having SWAP may help (or not, try it)

I'm using a Sense 3.5 rom with v6 supercharger. I got around 85-90mb free of RAM when I play the game but it's still too laggy.
Actually, gta 3 works well on stock xperia play. Our rooted devices should run it as well as or better then xperia play.
I can report ICS (both Andromadus and MDJ's AOSP kernel) cannot even run it. Think anyone can tell why?

Which version are you using? Perhaps the version you flashed does not yet support Hardware acceleration?? Given that 3D acceleration is listed as working (e.g. Flemmard's beta9r1), you might want to try that out?
I tried it on stockrom, rooted and clocked 1.2GHz. it lagged a bit, but was actually playable.
runnydroid with v6 supercharger script was a bit better, but caused rosie to crash everytime i exited the game.
now on cyanogenmod 7 nightly clocked at 1.2 GHz and it works like a charm.
I'm using ICS and its been working even when the hw wasn't out. I used chainfire3d. But now like above it works fine. I'm using latest gta version.

My recommendations would be from the Virtuous Team. Either rmk's Sense 2.0.0 or the Team's Affinity 1.48. Both have comparable battery life but Affinity has the advantage of Sense 3.5 compared to 2.1 of rmk's ROM.
I've tried both and have to say that I loved Affinity. Only reason I'm off it at the moment is because of Flemmard's ICS port. Loving the AOSP feel of ICS =)..
I'd say sense 3.5, tried it with my own device
Actually i am on RCMix Energized, i am also using Supercharger V6 with the ROM, and i have to say it's the best Sense 3.5 experience i have, no freezes after install/uninstall apps, launcher does not die randomly (thanks Supercharger). But if you want a solid and stable sense ROM my shot goes to Virtuous Sens 2.0.0, fluid, fast, stable. That if you do not care about graphical effects and stuff like that.

I'm also trying out RCMix. I've always loved NRG's work since Windows Mobile days, and he doesn't disappoint on Android either. Just on the first day of using RCMix, but so far it seems less laggy than Affinity.
Virtuous Unity seems pretty much deprecated (and no longer being updated) since Affinity came around (which itself has had development halted as the team is now working on ICS). But when I first started using Unity, I experienced a big increase in battery life. I had flip flopped from CM7 to Virtuous (Froyo) and back to stock, but never saw more than a day or 1.5 days with low/moderate usage. On Unity, I was easily getting 2 days or more with low usage. Not quite as good on Affinity.
Hi all,
I am stucked by choices.. I love the AOSP ICS rosie UI and features.. but I can't live w/o sense apps and especially HTC Sync. Is there anyway we can have ICS rosie with HTC apps like premium navigation, messages, blah blah and importantly HTC sync ???

It's speed and efficiency, over looks.
I've tried them all, but i always go back to Sense 3.5. (Waiting for stable for daily use 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6)
Well.. I was just wondering if we can have all.. aosp sounds fun but HTC have many widgets and HTC sync to provide the convenience that I need.
Will uninstalling HTC sense do the trick or cause the Rom to Fc?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It's all driven by personal choice.
I installed an AOSP ICS rom and I loved it, but ultimately, for me the experience was lacking without Sense. So I dropped back down to GB with Sense 3.5.
I'm waiting for a stable ICS release with Sense, will upgrade then
Well, that's why I'm asking if there is any way to combine both..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I am also a huge fan of Sense. But i'm on IceColdSandwich and really love it for daily use. When there will be a working sense ICS ROM i will switch, but for now i'm going with the AOSP one. You can customize it so that it at least looks like a sense rom
do what I do...keep back up of another rom so if you get twitchy you can flip back etc..actually I have three at the moment .runny 4.0...this is my daily I use this more because of sense...ics just because its smooth and...sweet. and now got absolution.I'm not a gamer so save data etc doesn't matter to me..SMS can be retrieved if needed.contacts are on both so..my 10p worth
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Anyone else find battery life is poorer on sense roms, or is that just me? I'm currently using IceColdSandwich, really nice rom.
Well, an AOSP uses tons less space and ram, so i would imagine the battery life would be immense on that.
I flashed Virtuous Quattro and that used hardly any space in the system partition, where sense Roms use almost all of the space.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.. what I'm trying to find out here is if there is any sense Rom that is possible to be customised to look like ics without losing the advantages of some sense apps and HTC sync. I'm not into switching roms as I prefer to have one to work as my daily driver.
I know of coz ics Rom can be customised to be as close to sense but without sense kernel, there will still be missing HTC sync and some sense apps.

Ok I will put it to you simple. The only way to have sense apps is to use Sense. Non of the widgets work without the launcher being used. All of the apps can be replaced with AOSP versions. Not sure about the navagation as I would never use a phone to tell me where i need to go. Sync seems to be a big deal for you and not sure why. There are far better option out there.
So simply if you want to use HTC apps then you will use Sense.
yeah but depends if he wants the widgets..the apps themselves can still work,your not wrong though,the asop is quicker,battery lasts longer.can customize more,..sadly although i have them on my back ups,im a sense rom junkie,gets on my nerves to be honest. im hoping,with sense 4..they up there game now,sense 3.6 is..just with a few added bits not really an overhaul and its debateable whether because its running ice cream in the background if it will actually make a difference
forgot to say,although you can replace all apps from sense with others in asop.The mail app still in my opinion is one of the leaders for that sort of app. If someone could port that out of a sense rom id be chuffed lol
