[Q] Fastest/most stable/best Sense 2.x ROM? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Okay, so after having tried out pretty much everything on my HD2, I've concluded:
You can't do much in WP7 besides the built-in functionality, and there are no apps for it
ICS isn't fast/stable enough yet due to lack of proper hardware acceleration
Sense 3.x is the same as ICS
I might upgrade to the Sensation
Meanwhile, I want to use something that's stable and fast, and based on Sense 2.x with Android 2.3. What do people think are my best options?
Thanks

And before somebody flames us, we are not lazy (right, ellisbodds? ) but we want those who tried lots of ROMs (sense 2 with gingerbread). We seek their advice.
Thank you.

Exactly, I've tried out loads of ROMs myself, just not many Sense 2 ROMs. So if someone posted asking what the best Sense 3.5 ROM might be, I would answer them.

with 2.3.3 use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197751 but dont upgrade to mark 0.2.0.. for photos u have to edit up buildprop and the device name..also flash the fix from the first post.. i will try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581249... if u wanna use android 2.2.2 with sense 2.0 try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321039&highlight=sense+2+clk, and go to the ultimate post, take a look in my post when i say how to change kernel.. with hieros kernel this rom is uber fast and i have 5-7 mah with gsm, or 3-5 with 3g..

Thanks, I'll give the EVO 4G port a try first and report back

I think the fastest/most stable, are the AOSP roms. Like cyanogen, nightlies, those are amazing. And they have a lovely small system partition size allowing for more user data.

[Q] [REQ] Flashable HTC Sense that can be added to Openfire / Cyanogenmod

Can anyone help?
As the title says - I'd really like help from you talented developers -
I love Wildpuzzle Rom. Love it to death. However - I can't (currently) get it to work w overclocking - I have one of the phones out there that only work w Jacob's kernel 4.1 - and none prior to that - and danne_jo's version of that kernel unfortunately just makes my phone restart at htc splashscreen all the time...
So I have 2 choices - either wait for danne_jo to somehow / sometime fix that kernel -
or....
change to cyanogenmod or openfire...
NOW. I am desperate to have HTC Sense in my phone. It's a must. Can't use the vanilla stuff, can't seem to get used to them, miss HTC Weather, Contacts, Dialer, Clock, list goes on forever.
So can anyone helpout here - PLEASE - do a flashable HTC Sense package that will work with Openfire or Cyanogenmod - or preferrably both.
My gratitude goes out to you people for your great work so far - and your possible help on this.
And danne_jo if you see this - I miss my Wildpuzzle a lot. Please try to make Jacob's 4.1 kernel work on Wildpuzzle (Froyo Version). It works on every other system but Wildpuzzle on my phone!
Thanks for your time!
+1 to that...
And if possible add flash support with that
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
If only Jacob's kernel works, then flash it to Wildpuzzle. It is fully compatible and is available standalone from Jacob's topic.
As for Sense, it's highly unlikely. At some point in the past there was a version of sense available for Cyanogen. However, in efforts to make the mod wholly legal, all components were removed. As far as I am aware, it would take extensive work and knowledge of the Sense UI code to build it into any ROM with an AOSP base.
If what you miss are the home screens and dialer, I suggest looking to LauncherPro and beautiful widgets, along with some of the custom dialers that exist.
I'd like to see this taken a step further honestly. A plain ROM with the 4.1 kernal, a pack to add the HTC apps (like there is for the Google stuff), etc. That way, one version of a ROM can be tailored to suit everyone interested in trying out of the growing user created ROM's.
I would if it worked. Both the one found on Jacob's kernel thread - and the one specifically made for Wildpuzzle by danne_jo causes bootloop on HTC Splashscreen. Why I have no clue. The one found in Jacob's thread works a treat on both Cyano and Open - only Wildpuzzle won't work.
And no, I'm looking for the whole Sense thing - except a few apk's that I can remove later...I MUST have HTC Contact above all, then Weather, Clock, and a few more...
Why is there no Stock Sense Froyo -
IF I figured out the howto's I'd do a Sense Rom based on Chinese Froyo - adding Sense from Stock 2.1 - w all the Chinese junk removed, Rom Manager, Root Explorer, Linpack, Setcpu, Superuser, Busybox added. Rooted, Deodexed (whatever that is), and OC'd w Jacob's 4.1 kernel.
Why has noone done that rom as of yet? I very much doubt I'm the only one who'd like such a rom.
And WHY oh Why won't Jacob's 4.1 kernel work on Wildpuzzle!

Kernel works in wildpuzzle eclair
Sent from CM6 on my HTC Wildfire
It may, I've never tried - and would rather not as I would like to keep the froyo speeds...
So basically what you're saying Jacob, is that your 4.1 kernel doesn't work w Froyo version of Sense? Not Wildpuzzle nor anything else? Am I correct? If Yes - any clue on why - and any plans of doing something against that? Same problem as before tho, won't give us an ADB as freezes/restarts before it connects...always on the HTC Splashscreen...

It won't work for me with WP Eclair. I lose wifi connection.
Not tried WP Froyo since the first release of it as I need the contacts shown and want the weather location to work.
Not for those of us w more bad blocks i'm afraid...
I would really love it to but it won't - gives me the same error that all the older OC kernels did w everything... - restart/freeze on htc splash screen so I can't even get an adb logcat...
but only on Froyo Wildpuzzle - works on Wildpuzzle Eclair (which I am now temporarily using, until Wildpuzzle Froyo is made to work) as well as Cyanogenmod and Openfire perfectly

revolution 6.1.0 is awesome!

I can use SRS!
not use any other app!
thank you revolution!
Yes !
Nothing to say about this rom !
Just great great work !!!
This ROM is truly amazing. I've tested alot of ROMS now but I always had to install ARHD after every single ROM.
hi the roms is very good
iam having some trouble withe the remove script
Agreed really good, trying RCmix VoidU at the moment too, very similar but getting fc with Acrobat Reader and can't uninstall!
Will probably go back to ARHD

Go to Market and download Root Uninstaller than uninstall whatever you want
sorry boys but has any of you tried CM7 or H2O?? ARHD is nice for someone who likes Sense UI but if you don't like it or don't mind it than any non-sense rom is a lot better. I tried many ROMS and none of the sense roms are even half as fast as CM7
yeah this rom really rocks ;D

Yeah, H2O is really fast hehe.
Sent from HydrOG3N MOD DHD.
Would have to agree. ARHD 6.1.0 is definitely awesome. XD
To me it seems much smoother and much more responsive than 5.2.6. However I'm not really liking some aspects of the UI like the new weather widget and lock screen. :\
The new ROM is absolutely great! In fact this is my first CustomROM, just rooted the Phone 3 days ago..., but it's much faster and more energy efficient than the original stockROM is. Love it!
6.1.0 is great, fast, stable and battery life is great, tried a few other ROMs including CM7 but keep coming back to ARHD.
ARHD is a rom for absolute beginners on the custom rom world.
There are lots of different roms with much more possibillities.
for example...
- MIUI
- CyanogenMod
Try more often a different rom and discover the fun of flashing.
I really love revolition rom. today i spent all day with flashing this rom. But I've severeal problems with it.
When I try to install modifications (Like Advanced CPM, Custom Quick Menu, lower auto brightnes), It's stucks at Boot Screen... I couldn't understand why doing this but i think this addons only compatible with revolition 5.x.
Am i right ?

yes, you need to wait for the 6.1.0 mods. The 5.x mods will not work with 6.1.0. updated mods are scattered among the thread but you will need to look for them. The updated mods will be added to first page soon I'm sure.
Not sure if its just me. But I am unable to calibrate the g sensor, it just says it fails
Actually the message is calibration aborted...
Yea i like the rom too it works amazing

Or... it's also a ROM for people who like Sense, and possibly even bought an HTC phone because of Sense, at least partly.
Some of us like AOSP or MIUI ROMs, some of us like Sense ROMs. Let's not get into putting down various ROMs or people who use them, please. These things are subjective and are opinions not facts.
However I completely agree that it's fun to flash different ROMs and try them out - no argument there!
This ROM seems really good.

[Q] Some ROM Suggestions, please.

Hi,
I had flashed a near stock NAND ROM but was constrained on space. Then tried out an SD ROM, still works well, but found it too slow for comfort
Could anyone please suggest a stable, working, daily use (with everything working) NAND ROM with:
1. HTC Sense
2. A2SD
3. Daemon Controller (preferable).
4. Working camcorder and camera without lags.
Believe me, spent a lot of time searching.
I don't care too much about the themes, the stock HTC are good enough for me.
Thanks,
jiggyk
P.S.: If someone could suggest a stable and fast SD ROM having the above (without #2, of course), that too would do and I would be thankful.

All GB Sense ROMs have camcorder bugs, unfortunately, so I don't think there are any ROMs which don't have this. Unless, of course, Froyo Sense is good enough for you. I've found Froyo Sense to be fast, smooth and stable. I would also recommend trying a CM7 ROM (e.g. Typhoon/Hyperdroid) as these are very fast, and can be themed to look like Sense.

Thank You for your prompt reply.
My preference for HTC sense is primarily because it nicely links my facebook, whatsapp, etc. contacts and shows mobile numbers and email addresses of facebook friends far and near who I did not have in my contacts list hitherto.
However, these ROMS you have suggested, do they have A2SD built in? I am also assuming that the camcorder bugs are in the ROMs with sense. Is that correct??

To answer your questions, yes (I think) and yes.
For stable version you can try Nexus One Rom by Tytung.The base is ligther and the rom is smooth but other rom also has its advantage.

as far as im aware,but im using v4.0,not all apps can go to sd though,its the only prob i can't work out.......e.g: when using pyramid rom with a2sd,i downloaded facebook for android,went to settings and moved it to sd card,now the rom im using has a2sd also cos i go to sd-ext folder and all my downloaded apps are there,but facebook is not possible to move via settings,but if no joy i came across a free app in the market called Link2SD AND ALL THE APPS I CAN'T MOVE VIA APPLICATION/SETTINGS I CAN MOVE USING LINK2SD.........so i'm 1 happy guy lol
also,if u wait till tomorrow,he says 4.1 is being released with glitches fix and less bugs,but have a play with this version,if u like it,download v4.1 when released(fri)
if you want sense with everything working and i mean a camcorder at 800x480 rather than 320 then you will be looking at a froyo based rom not a gingerbread rom
personally i have moved from a sense rom to a miui rom and changed to go launcher ex and am more than happy with it, its alot faster than sense
Team Blue Droid have produced an excellent sense 3.5 Rom which looks the business and works far better than many others I have flashed recently on mh EU HD2. I am not that technically minded regarding SD card partition types, but I run mine via SD card after flasing a 1024 partition using CMR and the accompanying DAF.exe.
From reading many threads I understand camcorder is less than perfect on most roms at highest res.

Thanks for your inputs, everyone!
I had the same problem of all apps not going through to the SD, and the remaining memory would not go over 25-30MB at any time, with a near stock Froyo ROM. (Yes, it is a very fast and stable sense ROM). I think I'll take your advice and wait for 4.1 and then see how it goes, will download it over the weekend. Also this Link2SD thing looks interesting!!
The Team Blue ROM looks very impressive indeed, what with the Daemon Controller and all, but, going through the forum, many have had glitches with the wifi, network, etc. I thought I'd wait for this ROM to settle, but now that you say that they aren't making any more.......

most stable rom out? + other..

So I'm finally a proud owner of an HD2 (again..) Anyway... The rom I bought the phone with isn't the most stable from what I can tell, "BOYPPC_SENSE 3.0 STOCK V7 0.5 OCTOBER". Or at least it's just not fit to my standards..So I'd like to know whats the best ROM to use, for every day use? I was thinking of CM7, since I've always loved the quality ROMs produced by them, but I'm just not sure..
ALSO...Before I brick my HD2 (again), can someone give me the STEP BY STEP instructions on how to install whatever ROM through my SD card? I do NOT want to ruin a phone again so I'm taking major precautions.. Please just dont link me to a thread and say "here".. I just want some instructions from a fellow XDA and HD2 owner as myself..

Pretty much all aosp gingerbread ROM's without sense are stable and fast. They can be used as daily builds with almost all features working flawlessly. CM7 builds give much more customization and options, but often are not as stable. For the best battery life I would suggest a gingerbread build with noting on it (no CM7 or sense)

[Q] Best choice for custom ROM

Hi friends.
First, I want to praise this forum ... that is fantastic!
My question is about the currently ROMs for my milestone 2...
I want to flash my ML2 with another ROM, to get a better experience with the battery life...
What ROM is the better choice?
- Argen2Stone 2.7
- CM7
- TIM Retail 2.3.6
- MIUI 2
- Others.... ?
Thanks again guys!
I test all these roms, personally I prefer CM7 of Tezet + the update of Endless7
Lose the video recording at 720p, but it works great.!!
It depend on your version of MS2. I have problems with gps in cyanogen's rom, so i'am using ms2ginger 2.1. It's perfect, everything's working, but it have shorter battery life. My friend have older revision of MS2, he had serious problems with keyboard and multitouch, but Endless7 cm7 runs perfectly on his phone.

May sound stupid, but allthough the milestone 2 and droid to appear to be the same phone, they are not the same phone.
Main difference is one is cdma (no sim - droid 2) and other is gsm (has a simcard - milestone2)
No method will ever get a droid 2 rom working on your milestone 2.
EDIT:
(moved to start of rant) If you have upgraded to the official gingerbread you can only use CM9, CM7(endless7), argen2stone. Just the ones with the GB kernel.
But as for other roms all roms, the choices are:
CM9: Not finished but quite stable now and a great look into ICS certainly work having a try of it. Uses GB kernel so no multitouch bug.
CM7 (tezet version): Stable, good, fast, has multitouch bug due to froyo kernel
CM7 (endless7 version/defy port): Not much difference from tezet version, but some added bells and whistles. Also uses the CH gingerbread kernel, so no multitouch bug and better touch response. I'd recommend this version personally, but it's all a matter of opinion. Also both versions show all market apps regardless of compatibility - can be handy if you wanna take advantage of a great sale knowing you can just use it when it is patched for your device or you upgrade. Or if you can tweak some stuff enough to trick it into working.
MIUI: Simply wonderful. Most stable one i have used. At first i hated the iphone likeness of it - but you can install a custom launcher if you wish. I got used to it though and ended up loving it once I tuned it to how i liked it - 1 screen with several folders and a clock widget the themes are great. It also uses the froyo kernel, so unfortunately has the multitouch bug. So i had to leave it
Argen2Stone: Pretty close to stock so if you liked the stock firmware but not it's slowness you will probably like this. Simply wasn't for me but for the time i used it, it was quite stable. Uses the CH gingerbread kernel though, so no multi touch bug here too . OH and is one of the few that has 720p video recording working I think.
I can't really remember ms2ginger and i have never tried blurless, so I won't comment on them.
Moral of the story, you can count the amount of roms we have available on you hand so why not get them all, and try them 1 day at a time?
They are all great roms and far better than stock was, so you can't really go wrong. No one here can possibly tell you what you like so you will just have to test them yourself soon enough and find out

Also if you have upgraded to the official gingerbread you can only use CM9, CM7(endless7), argen2stone. Just the ones with the GB kernel.

+1 me too great works of tezet and endless7
ive used Argen2Stone 2.7 ..its a really good rom.
now im using CM9 by tezet.
My vote goes for tezet's CM7, because I like more that clean CM7 than endless' mod.
i think CM7 of Tezet is the best.
I'm voting for MIUI - but I understand if someone don't like it due to it's quite bad touch responsiveness.
I want to shar my experience with you. I used all the rom you listed except "tim retail 2.3.6".
I'm now using A2S and UK 2.3.4 kernel. It has the perfect experience whatever daily use or game playing. But it has the shorter battery life(the same as cm7 or may be a little longer).
I often got reboot when i using cm7 especially when i entering games.
MIUI has the different style from other android roms. It also based on cm kernel, if you are boring with the original android UI ,you may try this rom. But this rom has the shortest battery life even less than CM7, and has the slow reflex when you have incall.
Sorry for my terrible English.

CM7 for me.. even if it doesn't have 720p recording it is battery friendly.. i like argen2stone but the only thing i dont like on this rom is blur UI.. they should have remove the UI because it eats too much ram >.<
