I'd just like to begin by apologizing for my noob-ness. Is the 2.2 Froyo with Sense ROM able to be
themed at all? I was wondering because I like the Sense UI and all, but it just doesn't feel like 2.2 for some reason. This also makes me question switching to CM6... Thanks to any answers given.

Get ADW launcher and some Adw themes from the market. Both are free.
Hope that helps.

there are skins available for sense, but none of them look like the standard aosp android.
if you want the aosp android look, i would definitely recommend flashing to CM7, which is 2.3 based.
Ah, okay thanks. I know its off topic, but since CM7 was brought up, how stable is the ROM? Ik its still in relatively early stages, but how is it problem-wise? I've been debating between my current 2.2 w/ sense vs. CM7.

It's pretty stable, if using the latest nightly. The RC1 has its issues.

Everything you need to work works. Its a stable fully functional rom for daily use. I highly recommend the latest nightly. And the theme Chooser built into the rom along with either adw (comes with the rom) or launcherpro (free in market) make it very customizable. in the visual department.

So for my HTC Hero for Sprint, I'm currently using LiquidSense 2.1. And I know that xda has a Sense 2.2. Now I'm looking for the version of sense that will provide the fastest performance. I know 2.2 addressed a lot of speed/performance issues, but will it be better than liquidsense's optimized 2.1 version? And then what about the aosp gingerbread 2.3? Is the fastest of them all?
Just trying to make it through until Sprint releases a new phone this summer Thanks for all your help ahead of time!

2.2 sense doesn't have a working camera and likely never will. For speed, I personally think GB 2.3 is the way to go, or aosp froyo, but with 2.3 you will get more customization options.
Yeah, you will never achieve speeds with a sense rom that you'll get with an aosp one. Sense is too resource demanding.

I also recommended CM6 stable,CM6.2, CM6187-Nightly, there's a CM7 Nightly/Full Official released as well. Haven't tried CM7 Nightly/Full Official yet, but from what I've read it been getting alot of postive feed back. Its on my next to do list. I'm still giving Ginger bread 2.3.3 a spin. I've used CM6 Roms up untill about 3 weeks or so. CM6 roms are great for speed,customization and reliability. Aosp's Gingerbread rom is great for all of these as well.IMO you can't go wrong with either.
Yea its me again with the
Modified Hero--

I want to try pmgrands rom, but i'm waiting until it's further along. I keep checking back everyday to see how its coming lol. Until then i'm using aosp's 2.3.3 20110307 rom overclocked to 691 MHz, and getting a quadrant score of around 325. I ran quadrant on my mom's stock eclair hero and only got around 200. so about 60% faster.
Is it possible for there to be a HTC Sense Gingerbread ROM? I like Sense and I like Gingerbread. Thank you
well Kifno is making a "gingersense" when it will be done or stable? idk? but what you can do is get AOSPCMod and then download launcher pro and can put a sense like dock background, to make it more sense like. its what i do too, cause i agree with your statment haha
Or heLauncher. It has different layouts like sense and the one in the espresso roms.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
yeah that too, i personally never tried that launcher though =]
but you can follow Kifnos thread to see the development of it or whatever.
itllbe very exciting if he finishes it. Cause all his other roms are just amazing
Awesome
Thanks a lot =D. I'm getting the hero and I want Gingerbread. So i'll download the launcher for now
yeah thats the best we Hero user got (as far as my knowledge) =\
warm regards and happy rooting
I like CM7, but it's not very appealing to the eye. It's fast and all that but I'm looking for a ROM that's both beautiful and fast and of course stable. I'll think of ICS when it's much more stable. Maybe I'll run MiUI again. Oh, and it must have trackball wake. Or maybe it mustn't, so what about sense?

I wouldn't choose a ROM on the basis of it's appearance. That's what Themes are for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167075
For my money CM7 is the best ROM. With so many themes and mods around it's up to you to make it look how you want it.

Ok, thanks for your input and thanks for the link.
What's the stock gingerbread firmware (2.3.6) like? Never tried it as my phone was delivered with cyanogen's CM7 build a few months back. Now, I run samuaz's CM7 build, though.
If you can recommend a better/faster CM7 kang/build, feel free to share.
Since CM doesn't pump out "official" nightlies anymore I've been using
temasek's kang build.
http://www.mediafire.com/temasek#2tyt9uzxa9ahx
another option is Euroskank kang builds
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/
They're both good.
I am quite the fan of MIUI Roms. Currently I use QND MIUI found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084726 it's beautiful on the inside. But dress it up however u want using the theme manager. Or dig around on XDA for miui theme.

I have a quick question for you sir. Are ROMS like MUIU and CM9(neither of which are adapted yet to Jellybean) going to be able to run JellyBean on our Tabs? I am positive there will CM9 and MUIU for these tabs but will they be GB or ICS versions? Will we have to wait a good long while before the established current crop or ROMS run JB?
I have a question. What is the difference between a GB or ICS version of miui? Or the difference between that and JB. Miui always seems exactly the same, ever since I first started flashing. Would miui get Google now? Or project butter?

There will probably never be a CM9 for nexus 7.
There might be a CM10 though.
Hi everyone, I'm a HTC Incredible S user (stock) from Australia that has been increasingly frustrated with HTC support (lack of stock update to ICS due to carrier, Virgin Mobile), so I decided to take the matter to my own hand.
Question been: I have been browsing around the forum for various ROM to flash (read the important notices and all such), but one question come to mind... since I am using Go Launcher (free version, got sick with stock HTC sense) what are the con for said launcher? Is it recommended to replace stock/ROM launchers with it?
Thanks everyone for helping out.
It's up to you, I don't like Sense <=3.6 either.
I think the more popular launchers here on XDA are Nova and Apex.
The cons are that the Sense launcher will continue to use up memory as a system service but that can now be stopped using this.
Launchers are mostly for customization. Go launcher is among the best available to replace stock launcher. If you're going to root your device then you'll have the liberty to choose whether you want a sense based rom or just plain vanilla rom (rom without sense framework and interface).
As of my experience, I'm liking apex launcher for its simplicity and ease of use, but if you are willing to spend some bucks, i would recommend tsf launcher, nice eye candy yet still not a burden to system resources.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda app-developers app
+1 for Apex - I like how you can change the name and icon for the app in the home screen among other customisations all for free.
Some apps in Google Play are great but their icons are sh1te
Thanks for suggestions guys! Much appreciated!
Just one more question to ask: which ROM is the best recommended to go for right now? I was thinking Nik's JB ROMs, but half afread the phone might not be able to run it smoothly (store mobile Incredible S with stock ICS update lag like hell...)
Thanks very much.
EDIT: opps forgot to mention, without HTC sense...
Smoothest experience and best battery/performance close to stock:
ARHD or The Second Sun rom
Nonverbose's kernel
ultrasmooth rosie
v6 supercharger
Andrev daemon
Project butter hacks
I agree with markj on his suggested rom and tweaks. If you're looking for non sense rom, give nik's jb rom a try.
EDIT : you tried that, my bad the rom still new, nik will further polish it in the future for sure
Personally, for plain-non sense-ics rom, i prefer icecoldsandwich together with those tweaks (minus kernel) mentioned.

I had the same experience as you when I updated with the OTA stock ICS update... almost hurled my phone at the wall with the lags and rubbish battery life.
IceColdSandwich worked well for me but I'm now using CodeName JB (I like to roll with the cool kids) and both have been very smooth, the latter much more so IMO.
A thing to note if you are snap happy - the camera quality in AOKP/AOSP ROMs will not be as good as Sense ones. Just something I noticed as well as others in XDA.
