So a coupla days back i decided to try sense 2.2 on my nexus as a joke. just to see how it was. i flashed kingxklicks alpha 3 and i was amazed at how well it performed. even better than cm 6. everything was smoother. sense was beautiful. but it had glitch problems. yesterday i jumped to evils dj droid port. less glitches. faster. and even smoother. its great. the only problems ive had have been with the graphical glitches in some areas. but i dont mind much as the web browser, camera and every other sense feature is worth it. compared to stock cm 6 web browser, the sense froyo one performs just as fast with much better implementation of flash 10.1, meaning when you scroll up and down a page with full flash the flash content follows the html content as it should, it doesnt lag behind. and the scrolling is much smoother. galaxy s live wallpapers even perform better. i dont understand why more effort isnt being put into porting over a perfect version of sense 2.2 from the desire. have you guys tried it? any thoughts?
Sense roms are built by the company who made the phone and has a team of paid engineers working around the clock.
CM roms are built from scratch by a group of developers on their own time.
You're surprised a ported sense rom is more refined than an unfinished rom by a group of hobbyist?
That's right... but I also see his point... I think the right comparison should be between sense and vanilla UI. No doubt CM ROM is awesome, and I believe the browser is even better than stock Vanilla Froyo, yet sense browser still seems better.
I dont think he intended to put CM down, it is a valid question though. It also made me wonder why, not a lot of devs are working on porting the desire 2.2 rom. However, I am also aware that since the nexus didn't run sense to start with, it might be tricky and a lot harder to do.

lol dont get me wrong. im a hardcore cyanogen fan and have been using his roms constantly since i got my nexus. i love and appreciate his work and effort. but that was just my take on sense compared to cyanogens rc. i am not surprised that it is more refined than a release candidate by a group of hobbyists as much as i am surprised that devs dont take advantage of such a refined rom to perfect it so users have a solid rom that performs the way it should. i was satisfied with rc 1 until a friend of mine got a vibrant and i realized how much less responsive and less polished my rom was from his. i am patiently waiting for a final release of CM 6 to see how that performs compared to sense roms and even the vibrant.
CM is more of a hacker friendly customizing machine. This is awesome for all us who love to tinker. Sense is for people who like a nice clean refined complete theme without sacrificing performance. I personally switch between the 2 all the time...cant make up my mind!!
This is why I love my Nexus...choices.
PS Have you tried Pauls 2.2 port...no graphical glitches, awesome job so far.
Our best bet is to wait for Paul's 2.2 desire. It should be coming up soon. I am well content with the vanilla ROMs available right now. But the option to switch between the two would be sweet

I saw somewhere that a sense froyo frf 91 has been leaked. so i guess thats what well be waiting for
Has HTC even finalized a 2.2 rom? Aren't all of these 2.2 roms leaks anyhow?
I doubt it.
kingklick92's tweet
froyo sense has a new leak: frf91... looks like a rebase may be necessary

It's the basic Mac vs PC/Linux thing. You want it to look pretty, or do you want to be able to make it do whatever you want?
This isn't even worth a debate, lets all celebrate the fact we've invested in a platform that allows us these opportunities to say the least. If you can't decide, install both, make nandroid backups of both and alternate at will.

Alpha3 was a bit too blotchy for my tastes. I do agree that its browser is awesome though. Honestly, after rc1 and millions of nightlies; I'm not looking forward to cm 6.0 final. I appreciate the cm teams full on efforts. They rock! I just can't stand anything other then the stock launcher. I wonder if I'm the only one that feels this way about adw and launcher pro. Their features are nice but what good is it if its gonna freeze, crash or become unresponsive. Thoughts?

im with you on that one. the launcher was one of the main reasons i left cyanogen. but i flashed my stock launcher2.apk and it wasnt bad. cm 6 is choppy itself for now.
try evils rom. its not bad.
Y'all should try Enoms ROM too. I personally like LP better than ADW and never had FC on it. But enoms stock launcher is great too.
Nah. I'm enjoying stock 2.2. Haven't had one single issue since I flashed it. Very reliable. I hope cm6 gets done up with a stock launcher.
I wonder what cyanogen.. or paul feel about this.. Do you think android developers react to user made modifications? of course. This is why i love my nexus one. I pray google makes a adp3. I love options and im grateful for all the developers doing what they can. DONATE!
After reading this... I may try out Paul's R23, I love CM6, but I wouldn't mind trying out a Sense ROM for a day or so...
Can you choose between LP and ADW when you install CM6?
I'm using Paul's R23 after switching from Enom's. Its definitely smooth and beautiful but really isn't on the same level as Enom's or CM6 (which I used to have). It still has alot of isssues (recording, bt, a2sd), and maybe I was spoiled by the OC'd, UV'd kernels but it just feels slow to me. And can't even compare to the benchmarks I was hiting before in Quadrant.
Its still new though and hopefully progress will be made in these areas.
It would be great to see more than just a couple of devs working on this port.
Just my 0.02.

At the moment I am using a stock 2.3.3 ROM on my SGS.
I wanted to ask if custom ROMs bring anything special to the table.
I remember using Cyanogen on an old HTC Magic. I liked it but the GPS didn't work, the camera couldn't zoom and the alarm didn't work either.
Can someone recommend me a ROM with decent battery usage, a GPS that works and without too many bugs? Thanks in advance
I would like to ask the same thing.
I was using GingerReal since the last months but in i9000 the development has stopped so I am looking for a rom:
- Very stable (the most important things because I hate software crashes).
- Kernel customizable by the user (I prefer semaphore and dark core).
- With a good development and constant new versions.
Could anyone help me, recommending us a rom?

i've tried various roms incl goatrip,gingereal,simply honey,surface,darkky etc but i've found simply honey to be the smoothest in my experience..
and when it comes to kernel choose galaxian or talon both very good...
The last CM7.1 nightly #70 is very stable and have a really good power management.
ive heard wonderful things about simply honey, although i have never used it lol, I do however like the look of the new sgs2 rom (unsure of its name, its in development section) it looks really nice and reports of it being super fast and stable....
however... all that aside, I am a MIUI user, and i would HIGHLY recommend trying it, especially if you are willing to flash anyway, The features are incredible, the customisation is epic, and the speed and the overall look is plain awesome.
Battery life has dramatically improved, some users get 3 days on a single charge, everything works as it should, and GPS (for me) has never been better...
Before you decide, just have a look at the various MIUI threads, Look at some screenshots and some videos, read peoples comments, I have never looked elsewhere since i switched to MIUI 4+ months ago....
Hey guys, I was just looking for your opinion on the best, and most stable rom for the incredible s, currently I'm running miui 1.9.9 and am pretty pleased with it, Im just wondering what else is out there, I tried htc bliss beta 2 sense 3.5 because i missed sense but it had camera issues so Im wondering what your opinion is and what youve tried
android revolution hd is the best hands down imo
"Best rom" is very subjective, as I'm sure a few other people will point out. I for one am using CyanogenMod and can say that I am very happy with it and don't plan to change any time soon. If you want to find more roms you can go take a look at the Development section of the Incredible S forums, there you will find threads concerning roms that you can try out for your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1028
Hope you'll find something that suites you,
Cheers!
I agree with scoob on this one rev HD deff is one of the most stable ROMs out there. Cyanogen is very stable as well however I can't get over not having sense. I'd choose from those two both awesome HD is super fast while cyanogen is slightly slower yet is highly customizable and does not include sense.
well, as pointed out , the choice is very personal.
it depends on your preferences as there are some differences in most of the major roms.
so far i've tried ARHD, CM7, MIUI & Virtuous unity.
CM7 is quite good if you are interested in having a non-sense rom but the functionality, stability is top notch. CM7 has set a standard not just for stand alone developers but for corporate production as well.
ARHD is a very popular rom and most people using it will swear by it.
it is sense based, and it will feel like a charged up stock rom.
very professional as well.
MIUI is what i used the longest & i must admit it is a brilliant rom in the fact that it stands out in appearance & customization.
every app and every part of the system is beautified and it feels like a totally different phone. if you are looking to have a 'different' yet amazing phone, MIUI is the way to go.
but the major drawback with MIUI is that it is not officially supported for the INCs and thus there are some minimal bugs which can get a bit annoying.
And of course it has no app drawer, works like the iphone.
this can be handled by the wonderful app created by a member here called alt drawer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
i feel this is a must for MIUI.
finally, using VU at the moment and i feel it is a perfect blend of sense components and that little something extra.
looks, feels and works amazingly well, minimal bugs and almost feels like the perfect rom again...
i did however run into a few loop boots recently, but i think that can be worked on.
that's my personal opinion on all the roms...
and i think it would be a good opportunity to give a heartfelt 'thank you' for all the developers here working so damn hard on providing world class roms for us.
Thank you guys, we all do silently thank and appreciate all your efforts!

Inc S is officially supported at miui.us. The two things I miss with MIUI is SRS and handsfree mic. Other than that, its the best lightweight rom available for Inc S atm.
MIUI with Tiamat Kernel works very well.
If you like Sense 2.1 or 3.0 i prefer ARHD.
If you don't like Sense i would go for CyanogenMod 7 Nightly #68.
But that's just what i think ;-)

i've been a user of ARHD, it's the most popular if i may say and developer is very responsive. i haven't gotten to try the other ROMs on an extended time but i'm pretty sold to the ARHD
I'm using CyanogenMod 7 and love it - very fast, good battery (after clearing battery data), and lightweight.
However it is the first ROM I've flashed and while I'm very happy with it, I'll still try others just to see what there is. But if you haven't tried it, give it a shot -you can easily download straight from the ROM manager app
i like revolution hd,but its sense 2.1
Im using arhd and it improves the batt life too. My first rom i flashed on my incredible s.
I'm using virtuos rom v2.37 by far the best rom with sense 3.0!! I've tried them all but the virtuos rom runs very smooth and no fc's.

I m using ARHD 1.1.7 with sense 3.0 patch. everything works fine. however the guy who don't like sense UI must b use CM7. it comes with a lot of customization. miui also a good one. but i dun like it , lack of appdrawer. look like with iphone.

Hey guys. I might be Rooting and flashing soon, and I'm looking for which ROM I should go for.
I was looking for one with good battery life (I use my phone for Music, Game's Etc.) and hopefully a ROM that has better battery life then stock.
I was also looking for one that had Sense 3.0.
Any chance such ROM exists? Any one tried a few Sense 3.0 Rom's and has had good battery life from one?
Thanks

Virtuous unity 2.35 does go good.... The sense 3.0 is just amaZIng! IF U WANT I'LL POST THE LINK HERE...
arhd is good too but then its over clocked to 1.5Ghz by default, so alot has complained for it doesn't boot up, stays in the HTC screen.
This ROM too gives u amazing performance but its mostly the users taste here...
And not to forget, Coredroid ROM... Man this ROM OS simply fantastic, I've used it before just because of the backlight issues removed it, the backlighta aka the 4 menu butons, doesn't work sadly.... But, there's gonna be an update soon, so yeaaaaaa! It's gonnna have sense 3 with the backlights fixed too...
Hope this helps....

The great thing about rooting and flashing is that you can create a back up and from there flash everything possible until you find what your looking for. One thing to remember is that you cannot kill your phone flashing new roms as they do not change your BIOS.
Thanks for all your replies guys - does anyone have a link to ARHD?
Sounds quite good
EDIT: ARHD Isn't full Sense 3.0, might leave that one... is Virtuous Unity a good one to go with then? (No bugs, good battery etc.)
i refer to ARHD 1.1.6
with kernel 4
Using VU 2.3.7 .. its butter .. !!! Best Rom with sense 3.0..

Thanks Nabeeltanz for quoting my post
well, to add to the above post, i have personally experienced MIUI to have the longest battery life among all the ROMS.
My usage is quite heavy, 3g on all day, regular surfing with streaming of music for most part, a little gaming here and there, emailing and of course the messaging and calls. most of the ROMS i've used lasted me a full day.. MIUI did a little more.. consistently it would last for close to 2 days. it would definitely need recharging by the end of the second day..
but compared to the stock rom, all the custom roms do provide good enough battery life.

Just so say, I'm using Virtuous Unity and it's been brilliant so far.
To all those guys that use CM7 Nightlies (Test Release) with timat 1.1.4 , just want to clarify with you guys that do you guys get crashes on it?
I downloaded the latest test release last night and flashed it after I flashed my ROM and I've got to say that I keep get crashes (com.android.phone process has ended) . So what is the ROM that I should flash? Is it the stable version or the test version.
and can I flash the kernel (timat 1.1.4) on my Virtuous Unity 2.3.9? So what is that is power saving? The kernel or the ROM or both together? (im confused)

I did a full wipe using ARHD 's (Super Wipe) and also using my Clockworkmod's wipe . I performed a NANdroid before flashing (of course im scared) . I had problems on the nightly ROM as I don't know why my Airplane mode keeps turning on by itself.
It will be great if you can help me by posting the exact link for the ROM you use and the kernel you used and even the recovery you used to wipe your entire ROM before flashing the new one ..
I'm still using VU 2.3.9 and I just realized that my battery life sux the previous time because I didnt flash the kernel of VU 2.3.9 (LOL) . I just flashed it and I'm currently letting it run to see how well is the battery.
as smartphone users, most of our main concern is the battery usage.. I would very much like to use CyanogenMod 7 Nightlies but just that I have second thoughts about it because it didnt have the "Quick Settings" or HTC keyboard that I was using on my VU . and I can't find and nice framework which is suitable..
so i guess if you could help me on this issue. I'll really appreciate it .
Hi everyone. I would just like some suggestions ( with links if possible ) of any good ROMs out there. I've used a few before, CM7's, CoreDroid's, the ICS ROM, Android Revolution and Nik Triity sensation XL's. So if anyone knows any other cool ROM that's fast and has a good battery life, do share! THANK YOU!
If your top priority is battery life, there's no question that cm7 is as good as it gets. The best way to find roms is to go through the development forum and just keep browsing. The most active topics are the most frequently updated, while there are still good ones to find two or three pages deep. You will not find anything here that you cannot find there

+1 for MIUI. It's smooth, looks amazing, has well integrated features and paired up with a decent kernel gives excellent battery life to.
Basically if you're rooted, you're not stuck with one ROM anyway. Just give them all a go, and pick your favourite
I advise you Virtuous Affinity, if you prefer the original Sense look, and still has good battery life with Juice Defender.
I installed MIUI ICS v4 beta ROM, and it's great so far. Before I've been on older development MIUI. Try it I definetely recommend it
Virtuos affinity .. not a big fan of sense so just flash no sense script and enjoy the better battery life ..

You can see a list of ROMs with their relevant links at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136463
Few of the good ones with HTC Sense (I prefer sense) are Android Revolution HD, Virtuos Affinity and Niks Trinity.
As mentioned above if you are rooted you can try them all Use titanium backup to backup your stuff on sd card before you start flashing else you will loose your data.
Thanks everyone! Will definitely be trying MIUI and the other ROMs mentioned. Cheers!
Another quick question tho, can anyone tell me if there are any ICS ROM now which is good? Good in the sense that everything works because I think one of them has the camera or camcorder not working? Not sure which but yeah.. Would love to try out an ICS ROM which works beautifully
Another vote for CM7, I am using it on my HTC Inc S and loving it.
CM7 is definitely a good choice if you don't care much about the UI looks. Htc sense is a resource hog but hey it makes your phone so much more beautiful ;-)

Well CM7 is good, but it has its drawback like the low volume in call (compared to sense ROM) and worse camera driver. I'm rocking ARHD with ROM cleaner so I can keep apps I like and remove everything else that makes it slow. Using it with ADW Ex, smooth like butter. Best of both worlds lol.
