15th November 2010 -Welcome to phireMOD Vision!
Based off official RUU 1.34.405.5
I will not be updating this build any longer. Please use phireMOD Ace linked in my signature if you wish to use the newest sense on your HD2. Thanks to everyone for your support!
What’s the difference between this and SkinnyEVO?
HTC Vision (or Desire Z) has many visual changes over the Evo sense roms. A few of the differences you’ll notice are flipping animations with the clock, fading transitions between programs, and the ability to apply skins (themes) to your phone from right inside of Sense. There are many other minor graphical changes, and a few functional ones such as “Recent Apps” showing in your notification bar.
This build is multilanguage.
What doesn’t work
Ereader
Camera/Camcorder
Live Wallpapers
Navigation is glitchy
Install Notes
You may encounter odd flickering of the boot animation and then a black screen. If this is the case, just wait longer, it is still booting.
Please change to a static wallpaper first thing!
Huge thanks to
football for the ROM

love the new desire-hd and desire-z builds, not enough of them here i think..
just a question- does this build sync with htcsense.com or not ?
great to see another new generation sense build
.
Great to have up-to-date Desire Z/HD build.
Does anyone know if any dev's working on camera? I've seen some active work few weeks ago, but not recently.
I do like the release, but the fact is the ereader and navigation problem, make me wait for an othe release, but your work is appreciated as i'm big fan of hastarin kernel
Great job on this man, always good to see more Z and HD ROM's.

I didn't get a chance to test that.. So I'd appreciate some feedback
Thanks for the build/share. I would also like to see more of these roms posted around here. Did a quick search and did not find any others besides yours. Then again, forum searches have not always been my friend
update:
build does sync with htcsenseDOTcom. Ask for your information/register account at the android phone setup.
Thanks Phire for this rom. I am currently using your beautiful themed Evo 1.7 rom. I am so happy to see that you have now cooked a Desire HD/Z rom. I know when the HD/Z rom is fully functional I will be moving to use it as my daily rom in place of the evo rom. And certainly I will be sticking with your roms. I am really looking forward to the fix for the htc eReader and the the camera. I love the htc reader so much so that i keep on booting to windows whenever am reading books instead of using the readers availabel in android market.
I have a personal request. Is it possible sir to cook a themed HD Desire rom similar to the themed Evo 1.7. I so much love the themed evo rom such that stock sense looks like something the cat dragged in......
By the way boss is it possible to install the theme separately or it must be cooked into the rom? I have in mind something like the GTX theme for winmo which can be installed as a cab.....
phiredrop,
I am using your great EVO1.7. Do you will continue update that serials?

this thing is legit!
Had some trouble at first (Device wouldn't wake up, and some lag), but changed kernel to MDJ's S4 and now works great!

I also changed the Kernel to Hastarin 8.2UVOC and setCPU to "on demand" and now it works very well and fast.
So far I found two little bugs, not clear where they came from:
- On home screen, after wake-up, something is flickering, i guess it's the weather animation, but it's not quite visible
- A transparent bar appeared at the bottom of the home screen(and other screens), when I started playing music.
The camera is not working right?
No the camera is not working yet. When it is- you will hear a lot of happy yelling al over the xda community
Love the new sence but my own experience tells me that these roms are not as fast and smooth as mdj's eVo builds etc.. on the other hand: will keep an eye on this one more feedbacks!
Keep up the good work!
Nice build. So far seems to work just fine. It`s great to see that HD build is not ded Thanks a lot!
Great job! Thanks a lot of your effort!

I am glad to see that someone has started developing this rom again. Most of the older projects are dead. Hopefully we will get a working camera at some point. Thanks for taking on this project!
THanks again mate
Hello,
is this version of the ubuntu os stable?
any screens aviable?
hows the battery usage(2300mAh)
Thx
Ever thought of some investigating by yourself?
First youtube search delivers not just screens, but a full video of it and there is more than enough feedback on the threads. Can't be that hard.
Rate from 1-10 in terms of:
Looks:
Speed:
Battery Life:
Stabability:
Any rom developed by aamikam
Looks:10(sense is so pretty)
Speed:7(Sense is a bit slower than aosp)
Battery:10(Sense gives me the best battery life i have ever seen on my phone)
Stability:10(everything always works)
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Currently my favorite ROM is MIUI. It's so much different than any other ROM and there's a ton of customization.
Looks: easy 10
Speed: not the fastest ROM but quick. I'll give it an 8
Battery life: easy 10. I get the better battery life than any other ROM
Stability: 8 - depends on the build but all in all pretty stable.
Sent from Gingerbread Speedy 4G
man its all really personal opinion but ill give it my best review seeing as how ive used all of the ones that are available for the shift "i think"
AOSP ROMS: CM7 (Cyanogenmod 7) and Shift Deck
AOSP DEFINITION:Stock Pure Google Android. doesnt get much simpler than that.
Shift Deck: This is about as AOSP as it gets its pure stock android (think of a nexus S) Shift Deck like most AOSP roms gives great battery life. I find making it a little over a day not very hard with quite some usuage. The speed is very slick too.
My rating
Looks:7 (an opinated question)
Speed:10
Battery Life:9
Stability: 10
Features: 6
CM7: This is AOSP with a lot of different features inside of it that are hard to go through all of them. but basically if you like the look of AOSP but want more customization options and features CM7 is a great way to go
My Rating
Looks: 7
Speed 10
Battery Life:9
Stability: 8.5(only because its still in nightly builds and there are a few problems)
Features:8 (more than stock AOSP and some good ones at that)
Evervolv: Think of Shift Deck with a different stock launcher. Its codenamed Creo and has a couple different features. for that purpose to me it recieves the same score as Shift Deck
SENSE ROMS
Sense in general is what the shift comes stock with. An overlay on android made by HTC to bring further customization for the purpose of length i will not include Stock Sense 2.1
Sense 3.0 Kingdom Port: This is a full Sense 3.0 port for the evo shift its elegant and sexy and jam packed with customization. Now HTC did state Sense 3.0 would only work on NEWER devices and it does show in the port. on a stock kernel it does get really laggy with memory issues.
MY rating
Looks:9.5( i dont give looks a 10 because it sort of opiniated)
Speed:5 (it works but to me unusable)
Battery Life:7 (the port defeinently takes a toll on the battery
Features: 10
Stability: 4
MikShift-G Sense 2.1+3.0: This is based off Sense 2.1 with 3.0 features added into it. Personally this is one of my favorites. Its got a great mix of 3.0 features so you dont feel left behind and out of date and with aamikams optimizing it runs beautifully. I dont notice lag per say but there are a couple times things take just a tad bit longer to load. Added Sense 3.0 Features Include -Lockscreen,Weather,Messaging, Task Manager, and probably a couple others im forgetting
Looks:9.1 (lol)
Speed.9.5
Battery Life:9 (As good or sometimes better than AOSP)
Features:9
Stability: 9.9 (even the beta was fantastic only one KB light problem that is still in the official build)
SupremeSense 2.1+3.0. So you like the sound of Mikshift-G but you miss that 3D rosie and 3D widgets from Sense 3.0? Well here you go. SupremeSense is based off Mikshift-G but with a couple nice features Including 3D Sense 3.0 Launcher, and Darktremmors A2SD. This is a little bit more memory heavy so there is some lag but definently still usable
Looks:9.4
Speed:8.5
Battery Life:9 (same as Mikshift-G)
Features: 9.2
Stability:9
MIUI ROMS
We have a few miui ports and there basically the same just newer versions so im just going to review miui in general
MIUI (I think its said like "MY-U-I") is very umm "different" or in alot of ways its not different. if you have ever used or seen an iphone then you have a sense (no pun intended) of what the MIUI launcher is like. Its based of of AOSP but it doesnt look like it. It has an iOS type feel to it. It has no app drawer all your icons are on the homescreens and you scroll left and right through them. you have the ability to make folders like in iOS which seems to be an essential part in MIUI. You have a lockscreen sort of like Sense 1.0-2.1.
Its got a different way of handling text messages. and menu systems and the whole UI of the phone has its own unique feel that you have to try out to completley understand. MIUI currently does not support 4G so if you use it your SOL. but it is definently worth checking out
It does run across MMS issues sometimes too. Miui has its own personal theme manager that will theme anything from sounds to design asthetics to bootanimations, and lockscreens including options for sense 3.0 type lockscreens. its a very complete theming process. Think of it as HTC Hub on Steroids.
My Rating:
Look:8.9(once again opiniated question)
Speed:9 (generally very slick)
Battery Life:9 (AOSP like Battery Life)
Stability: 7.5 (this is miui's lowest point)
Features. 9 (its very unique in features)

Its an outstanding ROM. but if you just dont like the design asthetics of sense then no you wont like it.
but all the problems people say they have with sense is eliminated in the rom
I am running Supreme Sense which is based of Mikshift-G (as i said in the review lol) and at 72% battery life i am going 8 hours and 8 min (reading it off my phone as i type) with wifi going the whole time, gps, lots of texts a few voice calls and LOTS of web browsing.
The lag people expierence with sense is compltley gone it runs great and smooth just as fast as AOSP. Some apps may take half a second more to load tho
and you gotta love the sense 3 lockscreen haha
Thanks notsointeresting, I just got this phone and have been wondering what way I wanted to go on it in terms of what rom to put on it. I am coming from a Samsung Transform so almost any rom is going to run faster and smoother then the best rom and kernal package could give me on the transform. Based on your review I am trying the MikShift-G Sense 1.4 so far so good really enjoy the sense feel and look. Thinking of trying Supreme Sense but would like to find a video of it before going through the trouble of downloading it and setting it up.
Not to hijack the thread but could you tell me even in a PM your review of kernals available?

Believe me I would love to haha. But unless your on an AOSP rom your SOL (sadly out of luck haha) because HTC has not provided the source code for the evo shift yet so developers can not make kernels. It's a serious GPL violation an people (including me) have been sending tweets and posting on twitters face book wall saying something like ( @HTC We still need you to release the source code for the EVO Shift 4G #GPL #Android) they will have to release it soon though and I'm thinking when that time comes I might make a dedicated thread for kernel and roms and put my reviews and information on them and let people leave reviews or what not. But that would depend on if people where interested.
Also check out my EpicBlue theme for Milshift-G it finally supports 1.4

Not only lock screens but customizable notification bar, icons, boot animation and fonts. All easily customized from the theme manager.

I did not know the later versions had a sense 3 lockscreen? Is it a remake of it or is it a port of the exact one. I just ask so I can put it on my post.
And yes your right I did leave out theme manager for miui it does have a very simple way to download and use complete themes to change everything from sounds to looks to bootanimations.
Edit: I added that information in the first post I made. Thanks very much Rooster85 and Crump84

The Sense 3 lockscreen screen has to be added through the theme manager. There are threads dedicated to just miui lock screens, Sense 3 is just one of the many options.

Many thanks man.
The post has been updated with more accurate information
I have not flashed miui since 1.7.5 I think? And then went to mikshift-G and haven't tried anything since then but looks like I need to take a look at miui again
I would highly suggest it, it was 7.something where a lot of cool changes were made. I believe the sense lockscreen its a exact port or at least it looks EXACTLY the same as the mikshift [email protected]

MIUI is great and all I really like it. But until MIUI starts supporting 4G I can't use it for more than a couple hours to figure out all the features and what ill miss when I flash back.
I live in texas so its the one of the most heavily covered 4G areas (if not THE most heavily covered area) in the U.S so I need it
Edit: BTW OP I hope were not hijacking your thread here. We are talking about ROM's and our opinions so it shouldn't but were not exactly reviewing them so please let us know lol

Yeah, i hear ya on that... Without 4G I wouldn't have a cell phone... Where I live my 4G is sometimes worse than 3G speeds... My 3G is usually at 1x speeds and my talk varies... For all that I've tried Evervolv and it messed up my phone. Hated it. I currently use the Cyanogen Nightlies. They for me offer the best of everything. Speed, customization, battery life... With the theme chooser they can look basically how ever you want. With beautiful widgets you can get some sense like widgets and others. Many launcher options. I use ADW and its a perfect blend of stability and customization. I've heard very good things about Shift deck. In my opinion sense is super slow compared to AOSP. People have said that the Mikshift G runs like AOSP. But to me, i can see the difference. So I'm gonna vote for plain and simple cyanogen
Sent from my HTC EVO shift 4G running the latest and greatest cyanogen using the XDA premium app
So how do you guys like it?
I personally love it because its fast and stable! Although its only test phase right now
Video of a new system! Take a look.
Have a nice day.
Have to say that looks really really nice. They polished a lot of things up!
Hi all I just ordered an HD2 from Ebay, previous phone was an LG Optimus V and it's quite an upgrade even though the HD2 is 2+ years old.
I want to go the Android route with it but I absolutely want the best performance I can get for the phone. I was wondering which version of the Android OS is more optimized for the HD2? For example, I've seen Youtube videos of Froyo on the HD2 and it was very smooth and perfect, I've also seen videos of ICS on the HD2 and one was kinda laggy and the other seemed to run smooth.
What is the recommended Android version to put on the HD2? Thank you so much, I'm happy to be apart of this historic community of the HD2.

ICS with a GB based launcher e.g. GO Launcher. Tytung's latest NexusHD2 is brilliant, as are IceCreamTosti and from what I've heard Paranoidandroid

Thank you, I've located the threads to those ROMs and looked them up on Youtube and they all are running great on the HD2. Thank you for your help sir
Ics is the best for gaming performance hands down, but some of the applications may not be optimized for speed on the hd2 (hacked YouTube and gingerbread apps work prefectly smooth on ics roms)
