Just checked out the new MT3G slide...Kinda nice, I was really impressed by the software...I kinda like this version of Sense UI - Is anyone aware of custom ROM for the Nexus with this UI... I have not seen anything like this posted
Thread moved to Q&A.
Yeah, looks like there is a guide here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795

Thanx for the link; but the MT3G slide is running a different version of Sense which I kinda like better...
You can find an alpha build for the N1 here:

The MyTouch Slide is also rumoured to be getting froyo pretty quickly as well so I'd imagine someone will port it once the source is released.

Hey I was looking for a new ROM on my new G1. I would like something with a nice digital clock widget, a messaging widget, and just many downloadable widgets. My brother has Hero on his G1 and I love, the only problem is that I don't like the fact that if you slide it up it just freezes... So are there any somewhat similar to Hero but can slide?

As of right now, no. This is because the actual Hero doesn't have the keyboard, and so when you slide it up, it tries to force Rosie into widescreen which it doesn't support, ergo, the crash. You'll just have to live with it. However, Drizzy has been making some progress with that and has actually gotten Rosie to run with the keyboard open though it crashes and then reloads Rosie when you open the keyboard. He said he'd look into it more so follow his twitter for more info.
EDIT: Forgot to say. Hero ROM's are the only one with a messaging widget. You can download the Digital Clock widget from the market for a small price. I don't know the name of the widget exactly, just do a search for it in the theme section, it was mentioned in there a few times i believe.
There aren't any messaging widgets like the one on the Hero roms. You can download ANY widget to any rom though, just search the market for widgets and see what you find. Hero shouldn't freeze when you "slide up" whatever that means, if your talking about the keyboard when your on the home screen that is because they don't rotate, only in programs. If you mean some other type of slide then most likely your brother didn't do a proper linux-swap partition or it is to small. Anyway you need to just try the different roms and see what you like best, also some themes offer extra widgets and features but remember you can get any widget to any rom, just not the Hero/HTC Rosie widgets because HTC's stuff is closed source so we can't port it.
Ok thanks guys. So can I have the original and like non experimental link to hero. I use to search box and only find mods of it, and I guess I am just iffy on the mods. Anybody mind giving me the link to the newest and best quality ROM for Hero? Thanks In Advance

The modded ones are the best ones. The unmodded original is veryyyyy slow compared to the new ones. I would try JACHeroski 2.1 or MoDaCo 1.51 are both fast, stable choices.

All heros are technically "experimental". I haven't messed with the new Drizzy. I'm still putting JacHeroSki 2.1 throught it's paces. I can recommend it. There are people who like each of the different incarnations of hero.
What I suggest is going to the DEV section and read. Decide on your own. Hell, you can flash them all with switchrom. Have some fun and learn some cool stuff.
so good roms

Switchrom for the win. Seriously.. haha Yeah JACxRom is pretty decent. But as far as hero have you tried HERO2 - Freedom of choice? If not I think you'll be impressed. I flash FoC when it was first released and it wasn't anything to write home about but now? Dang.. it's fast. Wicked Fast. Try it out!

i know the hero builds are built on 1.5 and donut has kind of been focused on more since its release.
but does anybody have a nand hero build complete with nomorootfs, i loved the sense hero port that jamezelle made but i just like the convince of the .Tar file.
if its not something that you dev's are really going to focus on thats ok too, you guys are awesome and im just happy that android has come this far

what if myn put his great skills to a sensui (hero or tattoo) build and got it running almost as speedy as warm donut? now that would be awesome. I'm thinking a tattoo build for native res, plus the new market fix, at warmdonut speeds. that would be amazing.

ik much love for the devs. I just feel like myns warmdonut is pretty much complete. I feel like a snappy sense build would be a challenge he would love to take on (and quite successfully I'm guessing)

But somehow they have time for customizeable button layouts?
I'm all for a nomorootfs hero build if someone is willing to do the work. If not, I'll be ok too. At this point I'm just glad I was able to get windows mobile off of my phone.

we dont have a customizable button layout so obviously no
It's definitely possible. I bet jamezelle would give myn a crack at 'fixing' his old build.
Although maybe a new port is due...

What's wrong with this one?
2.1 Sense FTW.
Hero builds on the vogue have two issues. Firsly the bluetooth doesn't work, because hero frameworks handle BT differently. And secondly the camera doesn't work properly either. You have to use a third party camera app.
I can probably update someone's old version to work, but as far as I can remember the sense build runs about the same speed..
I'll have a look later this week.

True, but you still have the bragging rights about having a Ferrari.... and some extra bragging bonus points for having something that actually weights that much
I'll talk to James I'm sure he won't mind at all if I update his build
I love the new ROM as I'm sure a lot of people do, I just want the sense ui feel. If this is possible, or your working on it right now, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
you could download the home replacement panda hero! its as close to sense ui you can get without actually using a hero rom
I actually tried the Panda Home Hero home replacement, and it looked pretty good, except for the little bit of text at the bottom that reads "Light Version" or something to that effect. Is there any way to remove that, or am I just being hopeful? I don't really feel like paying for a paid version, especially now that Cyan's been able to get past the whole video thing, developers of Sense roms will hopefully be able to start producing roms with working video cameras. Just my opinion.

If you really look around the web, you can find websites that have the paid apk file for panda hero. I would post the file here, but I don't want to get banned, The only problem I have with panda is that it doesn't change your status bar, nor icons to match sense ui. I think someone made an espresso theme, I will check it out....

It is a little bit better, but I was hoping for a the hero version, not the espresso kind. All the sky blue and pink colors is annoying after a while. I guess beggars can't be choosers...
apparently, over at the vibrant dev forums, they've got some "JK2" roms that have window animations ive never seen before....really cool looking stuff
one of the devs over there says its part of the framework....anybody tried to unlock these animations or are they possibly just part of the JK2 rom specifically?

This Rom/Theme is pretty sweet, is it even possible to port this over to the Fascinate? For the most part I've seen that it is Exclusive to the HTC EVO so it may not be possible but wanted to check it out.

the theme could be ported...the rom atm no as its 2.2....and since im assuming its sense, it cant be ported anyway
It really blows that we do not have 2.2 yet. Especially with that screen shot that we had of end of 2010 and it still isn't here.....
If anyone is interesting in porting the theme it would be amazing!
