Hi,
I traded my ZTE blade for an incredible S and boy what an incredible difference,
but i have a problem ..... :/
I don't like SENSE, so i'm looking for an AOSP as possible rom
I tried CM7, but all versions i tried (latest nightly, 7.1, older nightly) have problems with the camera :/ the image freezes, unless you rotate or select an option, then it moves again untill i stop using a setting or it has been rotated, and that is VERY annoying ....
also, when i install a tiamat kernell, the device hangs on the htc logo and does not boot .. I hoped that changing kernels would cure the problem
So I am looking for another rom to use, I want a stable, fully functional as AOSP as possible rom that is rooted and has an unlocked (overclockable) kernel
can someone point me in the right direction?
NB: i've been looking in the forums, but it's a lot of info and hard to find what i want ... I've been on MODACO the whole time i hade my blade, but for Incredible they have no lively community, so i'm putting my hopes on XDA
NB2: No need to tell me about S-off and how to install clockwork recovery, that has already been done
u don't like sense then go for android revolution hd..
it has an option to remove sense via no sense script..
it is most stable rom out there.
afaik, cm7 and miui are the only aosp roms available for our phone. someone correct me if i'm wrong.
one of the downsides of aosp roms for our phone is that the camera quality is not as good as sense roms. i've read that the reason for this is because htc has not released the code. until then, we are stuck with it. having said that, i've read that the miui camera is a bit better than the cm7 camera. you can try the miui rom or download the miui camera and try it with cm7.
Thank you for replying to my question.
I'm gonna go for Android revolution with Sense removed.
Actually I already did it, now all I need is an AOSP dialer to put in there, because the HTC dialer isn't really my thing.
Great phone by the way, i'm utterly impressed with everything so far
NB: the HTC camera app is awesome
You can try to use go launcher, or touchizwiz4 or any other custum launcher of all above doesn't do the job for you.

then wth did u get the incredible s?
htc makes incredible s, htc makes sense.
you're not making any sense if u use aosp on a sense phone

Why not wait for that new quad core HTC?
i was doubting between the nexus an the incredible.
but in the shop where i work (and where i get discount) we don't have the nexus
and the 8 MP camera did it for me. i never base my purchase on software, i just look at the hardware for android devices, then i turn to romswapping
now, does anyone know a good dialer from the market?
I want something similar to CM7 dialer, i tried installing it, but it f*** the phone
Oh.
And no offence, but saying that buying htc equals using sense is like saying you cant buy a windows computer and then put linux on it. Same thing

a good dialer would be go dialer. basically go made most of everything.
go keyboard, go contacts,go sms, go dialer, go launcher.. etc etc

ahh, but if u buy a windows pc, u can dual boot windows and linux. that makes it entirely different. a hybird i'd say. even if there's a dual booting program in android, it's still immature and can brick the phone anytime

That was just... stupid, some people actually buy a PC, reformats the HDD and then install a Linux dist, without dualbooting with Windows.
Are they stupid too?
No?
Didn't think so. Your argument sucks.
let's get back to phones..
for me selling point for htc phones is sense..you can argue as long as u want but it's d truth..that's y they r always looking to improve d sense and other's like samsung,motorola
are also trying to put a layer of there software on top of android.

d people u r talking abt are programmers and app devs..not d casual user.
I've been dev'ing roms for the ZTE Blade and i been programming some android as well (not too much, just basic stuff). I'm not really a casual user.
It also wasn't my meaning to go dissin' Sense. I just happen to not like it. So I bought a phone after I checked that it was CM7 compatible, which the Incredible is, but unfortunatly the camera is broken on all non Sense Roms (CM7 and MIUI (tried both))

Weird, for me the camera in CM7 (using a nightly, dunno which one though) works pretty good. Sure it lags if it's bad lightning, but I've never had a cellphone with a camera that's good enough so I can use it if it's dark...
But I can't compare with how it's in a Sense ROM, haven't been using a Sense ROM since I realized how unnecessery all the stuff from Sense is for me
@mandeep
thank you for making my point clear.
@splux
implying yourself that you failed to make your point clear, how can you tell my argument is stupid? it is actually you who failed to understand what i am pointing out. well you see, there is no point in getting a phone which runs primarily on sense. htc made phones with sense. and to run aosp on a sense phone is like playing mario on a dual gtx 590 pc computer.
ah, and yes. i agree that people who buys windows pc and run linux without dualbooting are developers, more to the networking sector. they arent stupid, but rather smart. because in linux, 95% of viruses wont affect your work, as they're written for windows only. so your argument is invalid.
by saying my argument is rather stupid, you made a fool out of yourself without realizing it.

I tried Cm7 older nightly, latest nightly and stable 7.1 and MIUI and all of them freeze the preview image of the camera on the screen, unless i rotate it or touch the settings, then the image moves, but it freezes again, the moment i stop touching the settings or when the rotation sequence is done .... strange isn't it ?
Also, when i flash a Tiamat kernel the device hangs on the HBOOT .... I have a 1.13 device, maybe thats it. Anyway, I just spent the last hours customizing the Android revolution zip file to my taste (since i have some ROM knowledge)
I got rid of most of the sense stuff (Hope i did not delete too much, hehe) and replaced some apps, removed bloatware and changed bootanim. Just the dialer is bugging me, but i'll have a look at godialer, i bet i find smth that suits me
Still too bad i cant use CM7 I really love it, but one of the key points of buying this phone was the camera, so if it's useless on CM7, I have to ditch it for another rom ....

Because in can make this phone useable...
Yes, because I would like to have a smooth operating system.
+1 to the idea but i think the problems with backlight should be top priority
Not yet, because many things are not working and for example now you can restart device and use WM for gps. This would not be possible with rom.
But when most things are sorted out, ROM would be a great option.
I agree with you matejdro, android is working okay now but not good enough. A couple of things aren't working which are important to use.
i think before a ROM can even be considered, android needs to be able to recognise all hardware and then it needs to be able to work with all hardware. once android is at this stage, it could then be made into a ROM.
Nice system to use and two xperia one with wm one with Android, but too manny issue yet
Yes, I would very much like to see an Android ROM for the Xperia, for the following reasons:
1. I don't like WinMo that much, and I would be happy to replace it on my Xperia altogether in favor of my favorite OS.
2. It's over a year since I last used the Xperia as my main device, and I mainly use it for experimentation now, so I wouldn't mind an Android ROM even if the port still is a bit buggy.
3. You wouldn't have to launch Haret in order to run it.
4. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you launch Android through Haret, it isn't run concurrently with Windows Mobile, right? But still, having a dedicated ROM ought to speed up Android a bit, when it's not launched through WinMo.
5. The internal storage is faster than memory cards, so that would speed up things a bit as well.
I'm really looking forward to an Android ROM, just wish I could do more to help making it
Thanks
Yes, but, it is needed a working screen light/bluetooth/gps/headphones
it is still not working in android.
But, i wouldn't rewrite ROM to android. For me is better to use heater.exe. 2 minutes(just like windows) and android is ready!

thats not true, you could probably make a ROM out of android as it is now, you just wouldnt have windows mobile to fall back on, and your battery would drain instantly!
Yes, but ill wait till all things will be fixed.
Xperia is the perfect phone for android rom.
The disign and construction is thinner and most elegant than any other android phone, even nexus....
I can donate for working rom, and also be an betta tester.

Yeah I would really like to have an Android rom for my Xperia. There are no good phones with qwerty keyboards on Android. Couple of HTC phones have keyboard and Android on them, but their hardware is not impressive at all.
I might be getting a Xperia X10 soon, but it doesn't have a keyboard. I find keyboard is important for me, but there is no point in buying phones like HTC hero as I have X1.
As long as Samsung S pro doesn't comes out I would love have an Android ROM on my X1.
rom instead of windows
it would be nice to see it in reverse, android rom working as main boot and run windows on sd card
so if you need to have gps, or send mms (TP2 you cant) so if you can here I did not say a thing.
anyways whatever is not working and you really really need to use it then boot winmobile.
+1 on beta test. I do not have a gsm carrier, but if selected I will go and buy a prepaid sim or just pay month to month on the new tmobile plan
pm me thanks
but to answer your question why a rom, the battery is a drain huge. and just love to show it to the others "Droid" users, what their device CAN'T

Any help?
with the release of froyostone rom for the hd2 which is sense + 2.2 officially from htc, I believe it would be much easier to port sense to the captivate and completely remove touchwiz.
First your posting in the wrong captivate forum section...second the Android os isn't something that can be magically ported to XX device just because XXX device has it or its working on it, for starters the hd2 is a non native android device, which means its running an android port, with the help of a half working linux kernel, loaded with haret bootloader, android 2.2 is coming in September so just sit tight and be patient, or you can download CM6 vibrant source and port it over to the captivate(you would have to make the captivates kernel compatible with 2.2, meaning backporting/patching etc) which ever you like.

where's some good ol' fashioned AOSP when you need it?
*hint hint* DG *hint*
Personally, I cant wait till all manufacturers realize we don't want to be forced into sense, touch wiz etc.
Make it default if you have to, but provide an option to enjoy raw, unadulterated android!!!
I guess we wait and see what Gingerbread does about that.
To the OP, why don't YOU port Android 2.2 to the Captivate AND also port Sense??
Joking aside I am going to be cooking for the Captivate soon. I'm just waiting for Froyo so I can get my hands dirty with Android .
Maybe even a Sense port??
I've been working on porting sense to our the device for some weeks now but roms fail to boot, changing libs etc, got no clue of what else to try.
Sense is so deeply entangled into Android, kinda like trying to remove Internet Explorer from Windows 95, It is virtually impossible to get it working without all the kernel extensions HTC added to the OS.

Just a historical footnote. Internet explorer was very easy to remove from windows 95. The original release of win95 didn't even include internet explorer. It was only available as part of the plus! Pack of addons. The SR1 release had IE v2 included but it could be easily deleted. It wasn't until IE 4 that active desktop became a part of the package and began making it difficult to seperate from the OS. IE 4 came sr2.5 but was an optional upgrade for most win95 instalations.

haha, I was literally going to add almost exactly this.
Sense seems only to be portable to devices that can run off of HTC-based ROMs. It seems to be much easier to remove it than to try and bring it over (I haven't heard of it being brought to a device that wasn't HTC based). The widgets haven't even been ported to the best of my knowledge to work on non-Sense launchers. And, as proven by our phones, they could have made Sense even MORE integrated considering removing touchwiz launcher causes massive force closes. Also, Sense is proprietary and cosed source, so we don't have any low-level access to remove the HTC restrictions (short of binary hacking, which I know nothing about and could indeed be wrong about)

notice how I said I can't see it being ported to a non-HTC device. The HD2 is indeed an HTC device and I believe the ROM that has Sense is one built off of an HTC ROM for another device. Much like how the Legend ROMs were able to be fairly easily/quickly ported to the Aria. In fact, many of the internals of the HD2 resemble a lot of the Android hardware produced by HTC (qualcomm snapdragon and all that good stuff I believe)... the difficulty of getting android on that device had nothing to do with the ROMs, but actually getting haret to boot a linux kernel properly.

Unless they ported the whole ROM and re used drivers, I don't quite understand how they got it to work.
They got Sense 2.5 working from The HD2 onto the Omnia II (winmo), so its quite possible. We just need a team of developers willing to do the work. I can offer hosting and testing and little technical help since I am new at Android but I think we can get it to work if we start to tinker with it.
Maybe a ROM port is in order?
Maybe we should wait for a Froyo kernel though.

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying it hasn't been done. There are (correct me if I'm wrong) absolutely no non-HTC android devices with the Sense UI. I know nothing about the HD2/Omnia II Sense port, but that's WinMo... not even remotely close to Android in terms of interoperability. I also feel like any ROMs designed to bring Sense UI to non-HTC android devices would be hit with C&D's since it's their proprietary software (hence why both Fancy Widget and Beautiful Widgets got in trouble originally when they launched on the market).
Don't get me wrong, good luck in porting it, hell even I like the look of it and would love the option, but considering how long Sense has been out for android (and numerous devices) and we don't see it on any non-HTC android devices, I have to believe it's been tried and just doesn't work (which is why you also don't see MotoBLUR/NinjaBLUR anywhere else either... or even TouchWiz on the EVO)
Also I think the HD2 and the Desire are the same hardware. If not the Desire it's another phone. That also makes porting Android pretty painless.
Hello guys,
My dad has just bought a Google Nexus One. He had some HTC phones before and he really likes HTC Sense because it is very clean and simple. He likes the widgets (like HTC Weather, HTC Mail, HTC widget for news, etc.). I checked out the development section here on XDA but now i'm very confused. I would like you to tell me which is the best, stable and with good battery life, Sense ROM for Nexus One.
Thank you very much.
evil's NXsense ROM is pretty sweet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791151
It's a really stable port from the desire HD with all the latest bells and whistles (i.e, flipping clock, themes and whatnot) steps to instal are as follows:
1.) use AmonRa recovery to repartition to 1Gb SD-EXT/0 SWAP
2.)Wipe
3.) Flash the ROM!
4.) Reboot. (takes some time on first boot. be patient)
Any questions, pm me. installed this thing like a million times.
It's not really fit for mortals' daily use yet, but there is a ROM from the Desire S being worked on right now (as in, gingerbread-sense, tchyeah!)

evil's 1.26 rom is the best by far. solid, best battery life ...even has some themes you can add.. good luck.
My grandad once had an abacus that he swore by. It was painful to watch as it took a whole day for him to work out his finances on it. He didn't want to use the calculator that i bought for him at first, but after a while he readily agreed that what he was used to wasn't necessarily the best thing!

Allegories are nice, but there is absolutely nothing that stock Nexus ROM does, even in Gingerbread, that old Desire Froyo didn't do a lot better - and most important (for my wife who receives my Nexus soon) - better looking and easier to understand.
For anyone who's not into tinkering with his gadgets - I'd suggest any Sense ROM over any stock ROM. Nexus isn't different.
To the OP: If WiFi hotspot is necessary - DesireHD ports don't have it, so you're set with Desire port. Otherwise they both work quite well. The only major worthy difference I saw would be the browser - pinch-to-zoom would go out into window mode on Sense 2.0, allowing to choose between open browser windows. Nice feature.

WiFi hotspot is not necessary. I think i will go for Desire port. Maybe i will also try the Desire HD port.
LATER EDIT:
THIS EXPERIENCE WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE. I have followed a tutorial from theunlockr to Root the phone and install Amun Ra Recovery. Everything worked perfectly. After flashing the Desire Port ROM on the Nexus One and rebooted, the phone didn't passed the screen with a lock and the X from nexus logo (boot-loop). I found a ROM on the internet and flashed that (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614427) . Now my phone is working, got some com.android.phone force-closing but now it looks ok. I'm really scared to try it again. What have i done wrong? *sorry for my bad english *

you can always just put the wireless tether app on top of SenseHD if you want a hotspot, don't have to use built-in.

Don't be scared... you gotta *rreeallllyy* **** something up to truly brick your phone. As long as you can get to the bootup screen you can generally bring it back. Some ROMS are more stable than others, but they are (usually though not always) older as a result, because they've been tried and tested. Things like the Cyanogen Mod Nightlies are awesome and cutting edge, but not for the average consumer. I've personally don't like how the Sense launcher responds, so I never stuck with any HTC ROMS, but when I was testing it out I had some really good luck with the MoDaCo roms. You can get the prebaked roms on the site or if you pay for membership you get access to the online kitchen as well (where you can customize the rom before downloading it). Give the MoDaCo port a shot if the phone keeps crashing, and if **** goes down.... recovery image ftw!

To put it another way, flashing a Sense ROM to a Nexus One is like drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa!

is there any Sense ROM which doesnt require creating a partition on the SD Card? As in install in the same manner in which I install CM7 or Blandroid. I dont like the idea of having things installed over the SD card.
I have looked and not come across anything so If I've missed something, please point me in the right direction.
thanks

No, it's a requirement.
Do you think we will last long enough to taste icecream + sense on this phone .
<_< how bout we work on getting a fully working ICS rom before we think about ways of slowing it down and making it look bad
but in all honesty, I dont really think we'll see sense on it. :/ still would be cool tho I'm not a fan of it

Oh my God!!! I was going to say some really f'ed ups stuff (not in a rude or bad way) but I had an appifiny. If ICS is slimmed down just right then throw Sense 3.5 or as its known Sense Zero which is a newer lighter version of HTC sense made for the HTC Explorer which has almost the same specs as the Hero the i cant see why we cant have ICS with HTC Sense.
But yes lets get a good functional ICS first, then we deal with the rest.
Anything is possible. . .
Want a true answer to this? No you won't see it. Sorry. ICS is a completely different monster and is also a big build in itself. Throw Sense on top on that..... Sense lite or not, and it's still too big for our phone. IF I see any way for it to be done I will do my best and try but highly unlikely. CM's even starting to drop development for us older phones.
Yeah I tried and went down in complete flames. The zips for ics sense are way over 100mb. I'm sure it could be done, but would require more work than it would probably be worth. We've got plenty to work with now anyways

It's why DX had to be 2.3.7 also. It's like Sense in some ways and I would have loved to use ICS as the base for it but can't. It could be possible one day. But personally I wouldn't count on it. Google made ICS a game changer. Meaning it changed a lot of how they did things in Froyo and Gingerbread. We're even lucky to have it booting on this old thing. Some phone forums don't even have what we do thanks to Jaybob the mean lean debugging machine. He's still working hard at it. I'm not much help for him though as it's beyond me at the moment so he's been a one-man band at this.
I know that TeamHacksung is working on an ICS port and CM9 may unofficially be ported to the G-Note at some point, but that's all in the unforeseeable future.
And all the Gingerbread ROMs I see in the development section are ToucWizified.
Am I missing one, or did all the current custom rom "developers" keep their creations totally TouchWiz-bound?

my previous phone was a HTC hd2. yes window phone. rooted to run android 2.3 with sense and I can tell u, its even faster (scrolling, flip thru menus, contact scrolling) than my gnote. I can say, touchwiz is way way too bloated.
my old phone can use go widget launcher n is still smooth
gnote with 2x the hardware specs, lag!
I am also waiting for a pure rom, not a tweaked stock.
On sgs2 I used miui and it was really, really nice.

Sense is the one thing i miss from my Desire HD. Touchwiz is nothing in comparison with sense. This is just my opinion, i am sure others would disagree.
