Best Sense rom?

Hey all,
I recently had my Dream jtagged/rooted (thanks ezterry!) and have been shopping for roms. I am currently running SuperD which is working great, however I really wanted to give a Sense rom a try. Any suggestions? Nothing too experimental, just something fast and stable enough for daily use. Thanks!

Well JC's hero was the fastest and stable but it ran on 1.5. If you want something 2.1-ish then use King's Droid Eris rom or Vega's Legend both are quite equal in speed and stability(imo). Running the Eris port(don't know why) and find myself frustrated on app load times and battery intake. I would consider not using 2.1 first though, I would actually recommend selling the G1 as not much is going on in the dev section OE is still in 2.0 development and nothing has come out of 2.1 yet that is full and stable/fast. Either you don't have to take my word for it . Have fun with your new-ish G1!
Off note-ish: Lotta people getting their G1 un-bricked eh?

Partitioned SDCard. 128MB at least. VegaMan's Legend ROM V0.9.1 is AMAZING! I can give you a version with LWP and LED's if you want?

^That would be good. Is it better than KiNgxKxlick Legend2G1 and DroidEris2G1?

Sense UI on Donut?
Is there a rom that run Sense that is based on Donut?

^Hey you are using Droid2ErisG1, how is the battery life?

Not too bad, but I don't use my phone much durring the day. Heavy use drains the battery bad.

So if I want Sense I am stuck with 2.1 builds? None are all that fast.

no, you can have fast and stable sense on 1.5 roms. none 1.6. and sluggish on 2.1

Wow, thanks for all the tips. Looks like I have some experimenting to do. I'm thinking I'll give Vegaman's Legend a try and if that doesn't work out, wait for a better 2.1 sense build...can't see myself going back to 1.5 just for a few visual trinkets here and there.
@protomanez: mine wasn't exactly bricked...it was the stupid Rogers 911 update...so, about as useful as a brick

Jumped to sense 2.2, better performance than CM 6 rc1

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.

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.

not gonna happen, we are waiting for another phone comparable with the hero to get it then it can be ported. on another note rumor has it sprint will be releasing another hero update in october. keep your fingers crossed that it could be froyo.

This may sound dumb...but what more could happen if the hero gets froyo since we already have it anyway?

Right now Hero users have to choose between 2.2 without Sense, or 2.1 with Sense. A lot of people would like 2.2 with Sense.

2 months ago I was saying the same thing. Been running CM6 since day 1 and got sense deprived for 2 days. Flashed CM6 back and found some alternatives to the sense look. Now I could care less about sense and any official update. IMHO, my phone runs better, faster and actually looks better without sense. The only good thing that would come of it would be to fix the very few issues that are left in the froyo ROM.

Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...

I would only start using a 2.2 Sense ROM if it had the speed and options like CyanogenMOD has... which will never happen. So I guess I'll never use a 2.2 Sense ROM.

Everyone needs to just ignore fixxer. I don't think a 2.2 sense rom on our phone will be better or faster than CM6.

I find zenrom and NFX-hero to be the same if not faster than our 2.2 rom. Plus it's sense which means it just looks a billion times better than aosp, plus our phones were meant to have sense on it so naturally the battery life will be a whole lot better. And then you throw froyo in it and get one of our devs to spruce it up then we got ourselves a mini evo. Why have a rom that looks worse no matter what you do to it and gets worse battey life and download 100 different things to make it look kind of like sense and get somewhat better battery life when you can have the real thing? I'm not trying to start a flame war, just throwing in my 2 bills.

Out of Every sense rom and aosp rom I've gotten a minimum of 6 hours more battery life out of the sense roms. I'm not saying aosp is slow either, but with the new zenrom and nfx-hero, sense is just as fast if not faster than our 2.2 aosp rom. And yes...that's a fact! The only thing that is a little slow on the sense roms is the messaging app. Aosp has always been great for me at the beginning, but after a few days it just gets slowed down for no reason. And I only have like 7 apps that I downloaded. Aosp is plain, sense has style! Sense will always no matter what look better than plain ol aosp.......

Well...alrighty then. It sounds like you had a set up issue on your phone because out of my 4 Hero's..the way mine is set up now it flat out runs the stock sense rom's that I have here and has more gas at the end of the day, and everything turned on that I have to have turned off on the stock roms if I expect more than 8 hours of battery life. I haven't tried either of the other 2 roms you are talking about yet,but I might just to see if your just blowing smoke which I believe you are..since you still haven't validated any of you facts opinions yet..

I agree that zenrom and nfx-hero are light-years faster than the stock 2.1 sense rom. I'd even venture to say that its as fast as 2.1 sense can get, its pretty damn snappy. But I hope when you say its faster than CM6, you aren't talking something quantitatively ... because frankly, the statistics don't back up that claim.
And you're right, regular AOSP is plain and boring. The reason it's like that is to start with as clean a slate as possible, and let you theme and mod to the nth degree. You can do the same thing with Sense, but not as easily, and it will never be as lightweight because of the extra HTC apps. Some phones can handle the extra weight, some can't. I guess it comes down to if you want to work to make your Hero uniquely beautiful, or commonly pallatable.
I respect your own opinion (my wife is a Sense lover, so I have this debate constantly, and respect the other side), however recognize the difference between facts and opinions, please. If you want to provide subjective "facts", please call them what FOX News calls them: truth.

I'll just say this, my phone with CM6 was not as fast as it is with Aloysius 2.1. I get higher mflops and quadrant scores with Aloysius. I also get about double the battery life. I think it all depends on the user. I am not saying sense is better, but in my phone (and the way I use it) the sense roms are faster and far less buggy. I like that I only have to flash one file and I am good to go. No flash rom, then gapps, then kernel, then battery tweak, then theme, etc, etc, etc.
I just think the Hero runs better with what it was intended to run. Thats my $0.02 anyways.

Even though Sense looks great compared to vanilla AOSP, visual appeal is not what I look for when comparing the two ROMS. I love how lightweight AOSP is, but wish it came with some of the awesome HTC widgets that are exlusive to Sense. To this day, the HTC keyboard, weather and calendar widgets, and a few other items have no equal in the FREE apps section of the Market.

I agree. I tried CM6 and barely noticed a speed difference. I noticed several features and customizations, but nothing special that I can't do on my 2.1 sense rom. Actually, froyo isn't even all that to me. The only thing I want from Froyo is the marking/vending, but other than that there's nothing special like everyone says. BTW, I'm also using Aloysius 2.1 with my own theme I created.
This is also my 2 cents. And I am in no way saying that Aloysius is better than CM6, just that 2.1 sense roms have more of what I prefer.

Obviously you've never used Zen-ROM before. It is MUCH much faster than CM6 ever was for me. I've had zero lag and fantastic battery life.

Yeah, because no one else in your house is using a rooted Hero with something like Zen-ROM on it..
I charged my phone today around 6 in the evening to 100%. It's now 5am and I STILL have over 70% battery life left, after using it pretty heavily with GMaps. CM6 never made it that far for me.

sense 4.0

One of the roms i installed for my inspire was ICS and sense 4.0 ported from The ONE V, What's the hold up of getting sense 4.0 out for the VIVID? It was slick.. but all the ICS for inspire are Alpha, and they had things like camera or usb tethering issues those are 2 of my must works inorder for me to use a rom.. I ended up getting a fantastic deal on the VIVID so i used one of my upgrades. back to the question since Sense 4 is out why hasnt anyone ported it

The hold is getting people to port it. Not all developers are concerned with that. Sense takes a lot of time to port due to it being intertwined in to the OS.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium

Yup. We only have a few devs around, and they're excellent devs. But like megatron said, most of their priorities aren't on a 4.0 port. There is at least one working on a port, last I heard he had run into a snag with the RIL...but was still working on it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540442). There are some wonderful 3.6 ROMs floating around though.

wasnt sure how intergrated it was, I havent messed with many strictly Android OS, wasnt sure if sense wasnt just a big app running similar to the launchers. I have messed with basic ICS more than basic GB. I had instantly better experience using CoreDroid on my inspire so I never had a desire to load up MIUI or other senseless roms. I wish I had the patience to program. Well looks like I got a damn good phone coming in, for sure a great hold over till the ONEXL or better comes around.. Ill probably run a sense ICS on the vivid.. I really just want he clock from sense 4.0 and any camera enhancements.

I cant wait for sense 4.0 to come out. 3.6 is ok

How bout the unbuntu app.. anyone using it.. i was going to hold off until a 2+gb ram phone came out, But I would figure this phone could do real well on it. Plus plugged up to the hdmi on a big screen, bluetooth key board phone as mouse or bt mouse, blue tooth game controller.. Onlive App streaming hd video game service.. Im am really looking forward to this phone almost as much as the next wave of phones coming later this year.. Pocket PC's never died.. they took over the phone market.

I run Ubuntu on my phone. It works great. No problems

Ics stock features don't included on sense 3.6. Why ?

There is something I need to ask. Stock Ics have some good features but new Ics update we have doesn't have them. For example number splitter on Calling. I mean stock Ics split numbers like 0-530-540-5555. But sense 3.6 0530540555. We also don't have panoramic camera, mtp USB connection, big picture on contacts info screens etc.
Why ? Are these not important things ? I already search that features to mod my Rom, no luck.
Sent from my Incredible S using Tapatalk 2

Number splitting as 1-212-535-6789 is a US telephone numbering method. The ICS ROM which has been released is a WWE (worldwide English release) and obviously the rest of the wold is greater and more important than the US: ergo, no number splitting. Satisfied? Or do you still believe tha the US is the center of the world?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S

It almost seems to be like sense 3.5 with a few ICS features
A lot of it to me has a gingerbread sense feel
Theres not much from the upgrade of GB to ICS, IMO they have stripped and changed some features and things from ICS to differentiate from other phones/manufacturers?
Seems to me like they are not taking advantage of ICS on sense 3.6
I don't even think we have zero shutter lag in sense camera
This is the reason I have changed from GB sense to AOSP ICS
It just looked and felt too much like runny 3.5, but then again its only a 0.1 bump in number so there is not much different
I am still loving the AOSP/AOKP look and the added features over HTC sense 3.6

It almost seems to be like sense 3.5 with a few ICS features
A lot of it to me has a gingerbread sense feel
Theres not much from the upgrade of GB to ICS, IMO they have stripped and changed some features and things from ICS to differentiate from other phones/manufacturers?
Seems to me like they are not taking advantage of ICS on sense 3.6
I don't even think we have zero shutter lag in sense camera
This is the reason I have changed from GB sense to AOSP ICS
It just looked and felt too much like runny 3.5, but then again its only a 0.1 bump in number so there is not much different
I am still loving the AOSP/AOKP look and the added features over HTC sense 3.6

I tried the Niks custom ICS Rom with sense 4 and I actually didn't like the changes to the app menu as I am used to vertical swipe since Froyo days. Also the way the homescreen are customized in sense 4 doesnt make any sense to me. It looks slick but at the end of the day it unnecessarily complicates things. It also produces a slight lag as compared to the older way of doing it. I think the newer phones like one x are more capable to handle this new feature. Also the drop down menu has been modified in ICS which I don't quite like. The quick settings option in custom roms are so much better than what's available with these official updates. Thats all about sense 4. I then flashed the Official ICS ruu with sense 3.6 which thankfully makes me feel closer to home. However, access to full settings from the quick settings menu isn't any simpler after the update. In fact it took me a day to realize that the small gear shaped image is clickable. LOL on that! I also hate the fact that the call accept reject and most other similar buttons have been interchanged. This is just ridiculously lame!
But most importantly and on a super positive note my phone is much faster with ICS, sense or no sense. On nenumark2 my score increased from 8fps to 27fps and my battery life also seems to have improved considerably.
ps: this is just my opinion. feel free to debate.

Number splitting as 1-212-535-6789 is a US telephone numbering method. The ICS ROM which has been released is a WWE (worldwide English release) and obviously the rest of the wold is greater and more important than the US: ergo, no number splitting. Satisfied? Or do you still believe tha the US is the center of the world?

Nope. I'm not satisfied. You're not geting my point. This splitting method also works on Turkey Telephone numbers. I think they can make this selectable on some languages. Like miui did.

But at the end of the day the number you want to ring will still work. The number calling you will still work.

Thats is one way to look at

You're right, the numbers will be the same in the end, the splitting allows for a better reading, especially when you're used to it because it's usually done like that in your country.
But nevertheless: it's not really important
