best rom:
Froyo: Official AOSP 2.2 OTA
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620
Reason: Well first im not a fan of froyo roms but this ones the fastest so far and it doesnt have all the junk lots of other froyo roms have its also not bad on battery life maybe the best on every froyo i tried
Eclair: Xillius200's,Mikeyman77's,Spikeynick94's DroidEris 2.1r3
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807183
Reason
* Fast for sense
* Sense UI is sexy
* Updated more frequently then any other sense UI ive seen
Donut: Super D 1.11
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613809
Reason
* Good battery life
* fast
thats pretty much all for that all though updates come rather slow maybe zx donut is better anywho idk for themes

I would recommend GammaFly. It has all the speed and stability of the 2.2 AOSP ROM, except for it has a really nice theme put on it.

Not for me. The battery life is just as good as it was on the 2.2 AOSP ROM. And GammaFly is pretty much the same as 2.2 AOSP, because it is based off of it, and the only big changes to the ROM is theming, and some added apps, which shouldn't affect speed and battery life. At least in my opinion.

thanks to all of you
i would try them and see whats best for me tnx!

Sense Themes for CM7

Hi all...read about Sense themes for other phones on CM7...
I downloaded the sense.apk and I want to know if it is in fact working ok on the TB.
I'm not a fan of LPP, ADW, etc. I like sense. Hate all you want...lol.
I would like to try the CM underpinnings with the Sense face/feel.
TIA!

you are completely defeating the purpose of putting CM7 on your thunderbolt. If you like sense stick with the sense roms if you hate sense like a good percentage of people out there go with CM7.

Maybe I'm not understanding properly.
A sense theme is a bit different than running sense itself, no?
I would like the speed and battery life of CM7 but the look of sense.
The speed and life would still be CM7 based, not sense based...or am I way off base here?
Maybe a better question is...has anyone on CM7 tried a sense theme and reported differences in speed and battery life...?

Not true at all. Some use CM7 because Sense is so bloated, not necessarily for looks. I wouldn't mind having the speed and lightweight of CM7 with the looks of Sense.
Also, to the OP. You can make the device look like Sense with the 'HTC Elegance, theme and LPP with some tweaks to make it look like Sense, but it would be too much to get the Sense launcher onto CM7 if that's what you're asking.

Exactly what I was getting at. Thank you!
I'm looking for the correct link for these themes that will work on the TBolt.
Or...is CM7 generic in this nature? I've got a great CM7 nandroid I keep going back and playing with...this would be the icing on the cake possibly.

Try inj3cttheory its a desensed Rom with most of the best parts of sense lest in its fast great battery life but still has a slight sense feel

If you are using themes, as long as you download one that says 'hdpi', you should be set. I'm not sure if HTC Elegance is hdpi (i believe it is), but as long as it's hdpi you shouldn't have a problem using the theme on CM7

This should, in fact, work on CM7 for the TB

Thank you to all. Gonna give CM a fighting chance.

Totally forget the name right now, but there is a launcher that will mimic the Sense style launcher.... It also does a few other styles. Hopefully someone else knows what I'm talking about and can give you a name.

Feeling lazy tell me which ROM my g/f should use

So after realizing I don't have a boat load of time to read through all the sense based roms on the dev page I was hoping I could get some insight. I use aosp ROMs and "senseless" Roms only so I have been out of the Sense based ROM game for some time now. Can anyone reccomend a good Sense based ROM for my g/f to use as her every day build. She currently has Nik's ROM and doesn't like it due to the fact that it randomly resets itself, I'd fix the problem but I'd rather just d/l something new so she can have that shiny new feeling. If anyone could give me some reccomendations I'd greatly appreciate it (and of course a thanks for anyone willing to help ; ) ).
No ICS and no AOSP / "senseless"
Thanks!

If u want sensed rom, stability n working front camera then try ARHD. If u want sense 3,5 then try nik trinity...but its front camera shows a glitch...

Affinity, perfect rom from Virtuous team.

I would use ARHD forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088498
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

ARHD would be a good choice

Hahaha.. i totally understand & i warn you, you better get her something that is flawless or it's all going be your fault
My suggestion, 2 of the totally bug free & awesome ROMs out there
- Virtuous Affinity
- DutchDanny's Bindroid
i have used both of the above the longest among all the others & fell in love with both of them.
Affinity has the stock sense look with tweaks & Bindroid has a little extra color which makes for some good eye candy
and of course, there are NO problems with ANY function on either of the above, so your call

Virtuous Affinity if you ask me. It is just as stable as ARHD, but few more bells & whistles. I particulary liked "smooth rosie" tweak...

wanna impress ur girl? then just use nik's rom loads of tweaks and sense features with TRON themed!!

Welcome to thanks town except for you santhospirate as you appeared to not have read my post.

i would say virtuous or arhd. Or you can try niks 2.0, its way more stable than 2.5 (i don't know which one u are using now.

fully agree

whats the difference with roms?
whats the difference between gingerbread, sense and ICS? do all the apps still work on any?...
i currently have a downgraded version so i could finally S-off and root the phone now looking at what to use
im guessing the CM7 or Nik Trinity Sensation XL V.4.0 sounds like the go?

There's no doubt that Nik's and CM7's one of the most popular ROMs around. But there are other ROMs like CoreDroid or MIUI. So it depends on what you want your device to feel like at the end of the day. Personally I prefer CM7 because it doesn't have htc sense which boosts the performance speed a lot but due to the less developed camera app, I switched to Nik's Sensation XL because I really need a good phone camera.

I am not agree. I had some glitches with this ROM which I don't have with others.
I found Virtous Affinity more stable and less battery-hungry.
My fav is Android Revolution HD, Sense 3.0, no fancy add ons but very stable, bug free und battery friendly.

I've tried most ROMs.
Miui: don't like the look or feel of it. Too iPhone ish and hence reeks of KIRF syndrome (iPhone envy).
Coredroid: battery drain excessive.
CM7: excellent battery life, geeky interface, no integration between apps like sense, poor in call volume unless you use tiamat kernel.
Sense 3.5 ROMs like niks, virtuous, runny etc: beautiful visual interface, sometimes too much bling making the phone slow & overworked. Poorer battery life, best UI.
ICS ROMs: still experimental, buggy, bad to unusable camera & FM radio. Same geeky interface, and seems worse than CM7 IMO.
Sense 3.0 ROMs like ARHD: best balance between UI, ease of use and battery life.
You may wish to differ in your opinions, but at least respect the other's opinion & choices. See my signature for my choices

First, you're not idiot (I think), between GB (without sense)/ GB + Sense/ and ICS, a lot of graphical changes; that's attractive i think.
Then, you know that Sense is visually beautiful, but pretty battery killer..
Everything's depents your needs: If you wanna have a succesful user interface, choose ROM with Sense, If you wanna have latest piece of cake from Google, choose ICS ROM.
About apps; some GB apps will doesn't work with ICS. And vice versa.
Hope i was helpful

Used CM7 for a couple of weeks. Liked it, but then went to Virtuous Quattro and probably won't look back from ICS. Google Chrome for it is really fantastic to have compared to the stock Android browser.

Cm7 + tiamat or gtfo

I can't stand Sense so I've always been a Cyanogen fan from the first moment I tried it. Every now and then I try MIUI but after a day or 2 I always come back to CM.

I like VQ and CM's AOSP settings UI, but I also like Sense's widgets and hate the Sense settings UI.
If there was ever a way (highly unlikely) to combine the weather widget into CM7/CM9, that's all I could ask for as I don't miss anything else from it.
Beautiful/Fancy widgets and the rest of the stuff are nice imitations, but not good enough.

I think in the same way, sense's weather and calendar are awesome, but it's only that!

CM7 and Virtuous Quattro were really good! going to have to try niks trinity because people seem to like it

Virtuous Quattro RC4 is my favorite. After using ICS I can't go back to 2.3.

cm7 , miui (AOSP is fast,smooth and stable with great battery life)
niks trinity (great battery life for a sense 3.5 rom,fast,great support)
virtuous affinity (same)
ARHD (stock feel with good stability and awesome battery life)

Miui. It's fast, smooth and it's customisation options are unparalleled. I'd say, outside of a sense ROM, it's the most polished available.

[Q] Your dream Vivid

I want to start a thread to find out what the majority of people want for their Vivid. I think we were close to perfection with some of the GB Sense 3.5 ROM's. Now there is ICS... Take the time to tour other devices XDA threads and current ICS ROM's. There is starting to be some really cool stuff out there. Remember, this is just a wish list some or none of this may be currently possible now or ever. Along with all of the standard root, debloat, de-odexed etc, personally, I would like:
OC
Sense 4.0
Amaze Camera/(or other new boss future camera)
enhanced beats/(other sound tweak)
better battery life
Possible new theme selection (which I am told is not possible yet for Sense 4.0)
Wi/Fi Tether
FYI, I saw a cool non-sense ICS ROM out there that has a really cool sense like lockscreen and a bunch of launcher tweaks. It was for the Desire, I think...

AOSP gingerbread or ICS
I love stock and Sense 3.6.

CM9 is going to be great for sure. However, I'm a bit torn because I really like sense... I'm running CM9 on my nook color and although, the hardware is a bit laggy, the software is nice.

Definitely this.

For starters either Sense 3.0 with ICS or Sense 4.0. Sense 3.5 is horribly ugly and 3.6 is better but the proprietary apps Music, Reader, Watch, etc look MUCH better on Sense 3.0. Just not feeling the bland straight edges and all black.

Better battery life ...
Voice control [like Siri on the iPhone 4s, or better]
Mostly, I'm happy with the stock AT&T vivid [after Rooting & de-bloating, etc] ... I just moved from a mostly stock HTC Rhodium, so Android is a whole new world of fun & learning.

I'm not sure exactly how Siri works on the iphone 4s but you can hold the search button on android devices and it lets you send a text, make a call, look up directions, listen to a certain song/artist/album, send an email, set an alarm, get a map of a place, go to a certain url, make a note to yourself, or google search things. It just doesn't talk to you...

This is from an article... "DiClemente notes that Google is expected to offer something called “Assistant,” as part of the next version of its Android operating system, version 5.0, dubbed “Jelly Bean.” That will be a more advanced voice-recognition search than Google currently offers, with the ability to tap into Gmail, the “Google+” social networking service, etc."
I agree, it would be awesome!

Am running Unlocked, Rooted, OTA, the ICS with 3.6, I like it but would love:
Capychimp's APM from Sensation
more settings on notification bar, like BC's or RCmix3D
a music player that allows sound enhancements over BT
and of course wifi hotspot
I would be happy just with these.
I have already sent Capy a message asking if it was possible to get the APM, and how this old fart can put it on, now to find the rest.
Cheers
