I was just curious about what Sense 4A brings to the table. I've had my Glacier running on Virtuous Affinity for a while now, which comes with Sense 3.5. What does Sense 4A do that 3.5 doesn't? Or is it the same thing with a different name because it goes hand in hand with ICS?
I believe its a new looking sense but a slightly stripped down version of sense 4 seemed pretty stable when I ran it, only way to truly see what it brings.... is to run it, would highly recommend it. devs worked extremely hard on venomous.

It's a much slimmer version of sense. It's an alpha build so its not really ready to use as a daily driver. It shows alot of promise for an alpha build though.

It's basically a glorified version of Sense 4.0. I usually use SetCPU to bench my roms and it was comparable to AOSP Gingerbread. It's main focus is speed but there is plenty of eyecandy. Unlike EQjunkie, i think sense 4 can easily be used as your daily driver provided you don't need to use the camera.

That right there would be a problem. The camera, that is. I wouldn't flash creamed glacier for the longest time due to the camera issue. I'm running MIUI V4 right now and its amazing. It'll be hard to pry me from it, but those screenshots a little further up look mighty nice...

I ran the Virtuous Sense 4a rom for a while. It seems like whenever I decide that I never use the camera, I need it for something so I went back to creamed glacier.
I was very impressed with the virtuous rom though and I have been watching very closely for an update. It is crazy fast and I got the best battery life I have ever had with any android phone. The latest version of Creamed Glacier is also giving me good battery life so far. It is a good time to be a MT4G owner.

The same thing happens to me with the camera. All you can do is sit back and wait. That was the initial story with ICS ROMs, and now it applies to Sense 4.0/4A ROMs.
...Sad thing is I have no patience. As long as Wifi and 90% of other things work, I'll probably flash it later tonight.

Virtuous is still Froyo. From my understanding, there won't be a Sense Gingerbread ROM, until HTC releases a phone which has that. Then the developers here can dump the ROM and port it to other phones like the Vision.

Hate to break it to you but CM7 runs extremely fast and has better battery life than when I ran CM6 or stock rooted froyo lol.
/2 cents
They seem to run equally when i tried both.
Now to answer the OP's question, virtuous does not run gingerbread.. yet. when the gingerbread rom from HTC is released for the desire Z during spring, and someone dumps the rom or HTC releases it, then virtuous should have it.

CM7 does run really fast, I totally agree with you. However, I have had the crappiest battery life running several iterations of CM7 (RC1, nightlies), and I was only getting about 8 hours of battery life. Virtuous gives me 18-24 hours of battery life running the Standard kernel at 1.0 GHz (with decent usage). I'm not bashing CM7 as I've been a long-time user of Cyanogen ROMs, I just need a ROM that gives me good performance with great battery life.
Just curious and wondering what is the best sense rom in terms of batter life?

Are you using the standard or advanced kernel, and if the latter what are you OC'ing your phone to? I'm using the standard kernel, and my phone doesn't seem laggy at all. There are the occasional moments of slowness, but nothing to the point where I would consider it troublesome to me.

As soon as CM7 hits the 3d, I'm all over it.
I like Sense a lot. I have tried a couple other roms and different launchers, but end up going back to sense. I ran my evo stock for about 6+ months before rooting. Prob won't wait as long on the 3D but def sticking with sense.
Ill rock sense for awhile. I like aosp and especially cm7, but I am currently using calks evio2 and everything just works. That's the best thing about stock or stock baser roms - everything seems to just work. I like that.

Fans of CM and AOSP will have to port LG ROM or something like that to have the 3d options...
I flashed to AOSP for a brief period of time, but Myn's sense rom made me stop flashing other roms. I love HTC Sense and sense 3.0 will be amazing; there's nothing like the design and functionalities that come with it.
I am probably going to keep it stock for a long time. I have tried all the roms for the Evo and I always end up going back to stock. It seems like all the roms eventually start to slow down.

I agree with this , except with Myns I used Calkins Remove sence , installed ADW Ex , Flashed a GB appearence zip (added a few mods myself) and made kind of a sensless GB Myn's rom .

Hey xda,
I just got a HTC G2, straight of ebay. I'll be following the tutorials posted to perma-root, CID unlock and S-off (not using visionary).
My only question and concern is, just because I am new to this phone, apart from CM being at the top, what other roms are stable? fast? and reliable? (decent battery life, not too many fc's etc)
I'm very much interested in something with HTC Sense, but meh, am willing to compromise if its too buggy. I've been reading here and there that there are tons of problems with scaling etc when phones switches from portrait/landscape etc.
Any suggestions will be great! Thank you for reading this far!!
Sorry, but you're going to have to do what everyone else does. Try them out and decide for yourself.
Hello and welcome!
My suggestions:
If you want sense, look up Virtuous 1.0.2 for froyo. If you want sense 3.0, look up Virtuous Fusion 1.0.0.
If you want stock android, look up Virtuous G-lite 1.0.2.
All of the above ROMs are by the same dev, are very stable and I have used all of the above. Currently using G-lite because as much as I love sense, it does take alot of memory.
As posted before, try the ROMs for about a week each and see how you like them. It's all personal preference.

I couldn't agree more; as far as ROMs go, rmk's are the most stable. CyanogenMod7 is actually extremely buggy still on the G2 (at least, when I used it a few weeks ago). While CM7 is probably the fastest ROM I've used, there are lots of little things that don't work correctly, and newer builds sometimes will break things that worked on older builds. I'm currently running G-Lite and I'm extremely satisfied.

Cm6.1.1 is nice and stable with decent battery life. It isn't as aesthetically pleasing as the myriad gingerbread releases but it gets the job done and can be tweaked to appear incredibly 'speedy' by using spare parts from the app market and Launcher Pro.
Ill throw my vote in there for Pyrorom. Its fast and is based off of CM7 if I remember correctly. I had tried a few, but as soon as I booted Pyro, I knew it was the one.
Good luck anyways.

fwiw I have yet to find another ROM as stable as GingerVillain 1.5 with the 4.02.17 radio. Everything works perfect and I can get 18 hours battery life.
Tried Glite 1.02, super smooth, great ROM with the 4.30 radio BUT could not get the bluetooth to pair. Plus a few minor quirks with the camera flash not working. This is mostly due to the hw differences between the G2 and desire Z. I have a bell Can Desire Z
if u don't want sense...
If you have a G2, go for Glite 1.02 otherwise GV 1.5 is stable and can't be beat ..yet imo
Cm7 has been the only rom I stayed with. I tried sense roms and wanted to pull NY hair out, I simply just cannot stand sense.

The best way to find the best rom for you is to make a nandroid of your current setup and try whatever rom you are interested in. Because what some people might find to be the best rom here you might not like. Its all based on taste. I will say this, if you want speed and battery life go aosp. If you want pretty widgets and can put up with lag go sense.
Yea I'm down with sense

Wildstang's roms have always been solid for me. I would recommend his 3.0 Rom based on the desire hd, it is optimized for a single core device with WVGA resolution so it is just as smooth as our OTA. Battery life is pretty amazing, I get about a full day out of the stock battery with moderate use. That's from about 6:30 am to about 6:00 pm with about 20% left at the end of the day. If you chose his rom, I would wait until vfour drops tonight or tomorrow morning to flash so you don't have to start all over after you set everything up.

Geeze... I've gone through so many ROMs on that dInc in the last 2 days I can't keep them straight. If I'm right, that's the same ROM I slapped on there last and it's working like a dream. It seemed like an honestly finished piece of work. I'm so happy not to be dealing with that butterfaced CM7 anymore. No offense to the devs, but two things really irked me a little in looking for ROMs. First, names and OPs that didn't describe what the ROM was. Second, no mention in the OP of major known issues... like a camera that FC's after every pic??? And I saw one that didn't even have a download. Instead it pushed you off to Rootzwiki. Kinda goofy, I thought. Don't even ask me to point fingers because I wouldn't even if I could. Frankly, I don't remember anything I flashed except that last one... because it worked and I liked it. The others got a 5 minute interview and didn't get the job and were promptly forgotten.
I can't mess with the 3.x roms to choppy/laggy. I think the 3.0 ports show just how outdated our hardware is. Ive just been rollin with the 2.3.4 GB release. The speed and battery life is great.

I've gotta represent for Jermaine. I'm running InSensitive Minimalist 2.3.1 right now and it is great, very fast, smooth, stable. Basically the OTA with all of the bloat and more removed, including the Rosie launcher.
Why not just go AOSP, you might ask? Well, I feel like the Inc just runs better with the Sense framework, and I'm a sucker for the Sense apps, Mail, Camera, Music, Gallery, People. That ROM is the best of both worlds, IMHO.
I've tried a few Sense 3 ROMs, and they were a lot of fun...but they ultimately felt like an awkward fit.
But here's the bottom line...there is no *best* ROM. There are a lot of options, especially on this phone, and you have the freedom to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences. That is the beauty of Android, of XDA, and of the many great Devs.
So...happy flashing and much respect to all the Devs.
