It's stable or beta ?

The One V has essentially identical specs to my myTouch 4G and Apex Pro (stable) runs perfectly for me.

Apex is better than nova though

None! I forgot what forum I was in. My device is extremely similar to the HTC One V which is another section I moderate, and for some reason I thought I was posting there.

He misspelled it. It's actually called Balancer Launcher.
It's ok, I still prefer the Arc and Launcher Pro.
Thx man! just tried it out. I like it. Screenshots are also availabe on the market In order to find it easier - the correct name is "balancer launcher"

i guess some of its just down to personal preferance, personally i think adw and launcher pro are abit old looking even with themes. i wouldnt even class arc launcher as its just a transparent app tray...android ui needs a makeover imho anyways and the balance launcher just brings something abit different to the table

i like it the built in task killer works great! but the app tray scrollin is very lagy for me
it`s very slow, for me adw launcher ex is the fastest and i have no problems with it
same here with adw launcher ex......my favorite..
Tried most, still prefer adw ex. Have to admit Go Launcher Ex is getting close though.

Perfect sense 2.2?

Before you tell me to use the search button i've been looking and trying out every sense rom there is and with every one of them there is something that's wrong. Now my real question is if any one could suggest a perfect sense rom. When I say perfect I mean good battery life and not laggy when switching through home screens.
I would be really grateful if someone did.
Thanks anyways!

Ok, I won't tell you to search.... but as this is a question..... I can tell you to post in Q & A next time.... and in my opinion, there is no perfect sense rom and never will be.... it can't be compiled just for our devices as their is no source code.... so it can never be perfect for our devices..... and another opinion of mine... sense sucks.... if you want sense so bad, but want a good working rom... do it this way.... install hyperdroid cm7..... install he launcher and choose the sense look in it.... then install fancy widget and choose the sense like clock theme.... then their, you have a perfectly working build that looks like sense......
Coredroid 1.6

Have you tried HE launcher off the market? That combined with the fancy widget that's modified to look like the sense clock really looks a lot like sense.
Not a big fan of Sense myself, but I agree its Coredroid..the last version I tried was v1.5 it was really good, free of most issues and incidentally my last sense build...After that its CM7 all the way, with some time for MIUI in between which is also quite impressive but when it comes to raw speed nothing beats cm7/aosp builds...
I recommend imilka's Desire HD.
The only disadvantage is slow booting.

No you wont, A moderator will
Hi,
Without repeating what diesburg has said, I am using since two month boyppc rom. The actual version on my hd2 is GB sense 2.3.4 v25. For information it is not htc sense but a look like called launcher pro (LP). It is enough similar to make my day and the batterie last for about 2 days, good speed and bug free.
The other thing that I like is the easy installation
I can honestly recommend any rom based on Sense 3.0. Practically no problems, no FC, ​​no reboots, and I have not noticed any graphical bugs. 300MB free ram after boots and Everything works like a charm. I almost forgot to add that cam records in 720p
But for me the fastest and best performing Froyo Sense ROM is IMilka's Inc. with tytung_r10 kernel for Qaliza_DHD, i tried this Rom on CLK and is the fastest for me and i think that if you looking perfect sense rom you should try this combination.
If you decide to go down the route of installing a fancy widget clock, try to find version 1.3.0 as its the most sense-like clock. if I find a link for it i'll pop it in here.
EDIT: http://www.filesonic.com/file/12961909/Fancy_Widget_1.3.0.apk
Wait camera records in 720p!? Just like in windows phone 7. OK try it out.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
I actually ended up udi. Get launched pro with fancy widget and using theme manager with complete sense theme. I also got the sense dock and the sense wallpaper.
Do. Thanks for all the suggestions and help!!!

The thing about CLK is that its too complicated to install, I've tried once but failed.. I installed the rom in CWM and rebooted and it comes back to the white text and black background.....
i have tried alot of sense build...
i think rafdroid is great...
this build have more option to customize n stable support all app's that i used when that apps can't run on another sense build..
Takes a bit of learning but once you get past that you don't go back.

I have exactly the same problem, with my international GT-i9100
the back button constantly goes back to home and i'm unable to get out of applications such as image viewer äfter i've taken a picture" settings... pretty much everything and i tried a full wipe + dalvik wipe and still the same problem, it's a bit to unstable for my liking but if that issue could be fixed i'd use this daily.
Audio issue still present. Volume for headphones stuck at 50%. Any solutions?

Had the same problem...
Quick fix for me was to flash to a different kernel...
i flashed it with the Siyah v2.2beta4 kernel, now works beautifully!
Just a little advice too, if you previously had 2.3.5 and older, do not restore from titanium. it will give you a ton of FC errors and your phone will not function properly, if not, at all.
Hi....
I am from Saudi Arabia...
Installed this ROM in my Sgs2 now. Network , WiFi , Bluetooth ...everything is working smoothly. Installed after a full wipe. ROM is only 119 MB & Installed so quickly....Thanks Buddies !

[Q] Laggy ICS HD2

Hey XDA!,
I have tried a couple of NAND ICS roms on my HD2. The nexus HD2 by tytung and icecreamtosti. Plus i think i tried one with dorimanx kernel. Anyways, all the roms seem to lag on my fone. They work fine but as compared to the gingerbread roms, they are not smooth or as fast. They seem to be a bit slow. I flashed the correct partition sizes and later even partitions that were 10 or 15mb greater than required to allow for bad NAND blocks.
Anything else i can do to make these roms equally as smooth as the gingerbread roms or do i have to wait for furthur develpment?
Thanks,
Adil

The launchers are for some reason laggy. Try GO Launcher, Launcher Pro or ADW (any launcher not based on ICS basically) and they're buttery smooth (much faster than GB). I've found messaging, contacts, dialer and browser to me much faster than CM7 and pretty much the only app I would consider to be slow is the Music app. The phone also lags hugely whilst playing music.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I have Nova and Apex also installed (as well as Trebuchet) and I keep hoping that in the next update I see the launcher won't lag, but sadly it always does. Still, GO Launcher is actually the most functional launcher I've found, even if it eats a fair amount of RAM.

As I said, I've tried most of the 3rd party ICS launchers. None of them are actually as smooth as GO Launcher (or even smooth at all)
I think i solved it nigel. You probably would know this.
Anyways i am using GO launcher with the nexus rom. Its working GREAT. For the interface, i just downloaded the theme from the play store. Haha a ICS theme on a ICS rom.

I used that theme on CM7 but it really doesn't give a full ICS interface without the 'card stack' transitions, and really that's all I wanted. The app drawer is really very good on ICS, but unfortunately none of the non-ICS launchers seem to be able to mimick that. I personally prefer the GO Launcher symbols on the dock though, seem more polished for some reason
