Should be near the top of the developers forum "miui super rom roobs linked" or something like that. Its not ics though its a gingerbread Rom that's slowly implementing the ics framework into its build. So far you won't notice any differences in the ui but its a good start as every new version released will contain more and more of the ics functionality, but for now there is no final release of ics and no stable build, so if you don't know what your doing I wouldn't reccommend this Rom... yet.

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but i dont understand there are different sense versions with roms. Do some like older sense than the newer ones? And why...

mostly people like the newer sense. its like going from froyo to gingerbread. depends on you...people generally like new things.
in case of sense....cosmetic changes are more.

Stable but not beautiful:
CM7 (or nightly)
Beautiful but a little bit unstable:
Sense 3.0 / 3.5 ROM

froyo and sense

are there any sense builds that can run with froyo, i try sense tattoo but it freezes
I would guess no since HTC hasn't put out an official Froyo build with Sense in it yet.

here is a video of froyo running hTc Sense UI

Please change thread title!
With the extra 11 m of memory, it may help us running sense a little. Esp. with the extra quickness of FroYo itself.

[Q] Best ROM for INCS?

Anyone able to tell me which is the best rom for the incs?
I really want cyanogenmod but there's the camera problem being so laggy and im always getting late txts and people aint able to call through even though it says I have full reception is there a fix to this issue besides flashing a new radio cause im unable to do that atm due to my hboot being ver 1.16.0000
Im currently using Android Rev HD and its ok but battery life fails. any roms better than ARHD?
Thanks
Its been asked befor, and the threads usually ends up beeing closed because its the same as asking: what color is the prettiest?
You can't answer that becuase its a matter of personal taste and not fact...
And then there is the whole matter about Sense or no Sense, speed or battery life, new features or stablity...
arhd: most stable..
u can try nik's rom: very cool visuals and sense 3.5
rcmix rom is released too try that one too

to the op...
you are gonna get various answers from people because everyone has different preference/taste. for me, arhd and vu2.39 have been rock solid. it's weird that you're having battery issues with arhd. it's one of the best roms in terms of battery life. there are numerous things you can do to improve battery life. i'm not gonna go into it here since it will take all day and it's been discussed to death. go to the first post in the arhd rom thread and scroll down to the faq section. under the very first question, there are a couple of links to guides that will help you improve battery life.
I'm using CyanogenMod at the moment, but if you want a Sense ROM, I've had great experiences with Nikhil007's Sensation XL.. It was super stable and I got great battery life out of it.
the virtuous team just released their sense 3.5 rom: virtuous affinity. you can find it in the dev section. i've been using it for the last few hours. it's awesome. as expected from the virtuous team.
there are a couple of things missing when comparing to VUv2.39 though...crt animation, extended quicksetting. therefore, my vote for best rom still goes to VUv2.39, only until the virtuous team adds the features i just mentioned to the new rom
Yes, I am a big fan of Virtuous Unity v2.39. I install that, then use ROM Cleaner to scrub off traces of useless HTC stuff, then use OC/UV Beater to underclock (245 Mhz to 998Mhz) and undervolt. My battery drain when idle as reported by Battery Monitor Widget hovers around 19-22mA, which is great! Note that current drain for IncS seems to be reported wrongly using Battery Monitor Widget - we can't get values like 4mA or 6mA compared to other phones like DHD. Cheers!

Going to try the new Virtuous Affinity ROM in a couple of days after seeing what the other users have to say about it. And there's a new ROM from RCMix3D too! So many roms to try.. =)
Actually there is no best ROM...But there are few most famous ROM... like ARHD, CM7, Nik Trinity Sensation XL and bla bla bla...
Is totally depend on personality, some people like sense some people not...
So ask yourself what you need?
Pretty look? Long Battery life? or what....
If you like sense... maybe can test it out Nik ROM... is cool and i am using it, so far stable and smooth, battery life for me is good too...

to determine this question... is just simply ask yourself.. what do you want..
Ram?quadrant score? CM7
HTC newest sense? with 3.5rom
just for root and want to get a better 2.1 sense?
there is a lot that which requires your preference..
I dun think CM7 is very smooth.. just similar to those adjusted sense rom by yourself with suitable kernel.
Try Nik Rom

haha, that's a good problem to have
for sense 3.5, try nik's rom. a few bugs still but some people swear by it. or virtuous affinity. can't go wrong with virtuous.
for sense 3.0, VUv2.39. my personal favorite.
for non-sense, cm7 or miui.

Main question u wanna ask urself is do u want sense or not and if so do u want the latest sense? Personally one of the reason's I bought an HTC is HTC sense, otherwise I would have bought a Samsung or Sony Ericson or something like that. Sense= ehab, VU or Niks Trinity xl which is what I'm using...new version out very soon..No sense=arhd etc. Flash a couple, back them up and switch between them to see which u prefer. Whatever u decide, this will become very addictive!

Question about Sense 3.0 update.

With the new HTC Sense 3.0 update is the phone still smooth or is it laggy? Is the new update of HTC Sense 3.0 the stablest ROM, for this phone? Will this new official update work better then the custom ROM's we have of Sense 3.0/3.5?

The new release will not be laggy for your device at stock setup with clean install. However upon installing apps and using up internal memory your phone will become laggy over time.
As to your second question no. Official releases will never best a custom room created by a well established dev. The roms released by our devs have all the unnecessary cap removed from the roms and the sloppy coding is all aligned properly to save space and thus giving your phone more internal space and better use of your ram. I would strongly advise you to never go to a stock rom for any reason other than returning to s-on for warranty purposes. All future roms will most likely be created using the stock rom most recently released for this device as a base and greatly improved upon.
I don't even have this device, I have the Incredible 2. I was just wondering of what to expect with the future update for my phone, since both of these phones are basically the same. All the Sense 3.0/3.5 ROMS for my phone have some form of annoying bug, or lag. While the stock Sense 2.1 ROM never lagged for me.

If you have a DInc2, why are you bumping a thread on the IncS forum?
The official Sense 3.0 update has been out for quite some time. IMO it has been just as smooth as Sense 2.1, but to me, smoothness is one of those subjective things. What I consider smooth may not be what you consider smooth. You just need to try it and for yourself and make your own opinion.

Because the official Sense 3.0 just came out for the Dinc2. So before updating I wanted to hear what people had to say here.
To me it wasn't a smooth as I wanted so I had to root and believe me I never regretted it !!!! There are some roms in xda incredible S section Android development that are smooth like butter
Edit: I meant that sense 3 didn't impress me as sense 4.0A did !!!

[REQ][ROM] Clean Full Sense 2.1

How about a clean, fast, full 2.1 sense rom? It takes less perfomance and memory than sense 3.0/3.5. What do you think about that?? I think that it can be tweaket to be almost as stock 2.1 for example on desire etc.
Several options already available:
MoDaCo Custom Desire Port
eViL's NXSense v.1.26
MicroMod's SuperHybrid
RoDrIgUeZsTyLe's FroyoSense
ABHI RHD [2.3.3 stock/sense hybrid]
Interest in "clean" 2.1 Sense is gone though.
Well, none of them is pure 2.1 sense... some of them are even enclair... ill try to make a sense 2.1 clean.

What do you mean by that? Are you gonna develop a clean Sense 2.1-ROM?
I can just state this: I came to the NEXUS ONE owning a HTC HD2 before and the Stock Sense 2.1 was the most stable and fluently running ROM on that device.
Would be nice to see somthing like that for the N1 - though Modacos ROM is nearly ideal
+1
I also want GB+clean stock 2.1, newer rom was mostly hybrid

[Q] What rom?

hello all,
i have recently bought a nexus one and wondering wht i should flash? I like sense but they appearantly are all very slow. I hate miui. I like cm7 but hate its ui. What should i flash?
Sense !
I'm using the lastest sebastiaan's ROM , witha class 10 and it's perfect, the A2SD is AWESOME , no lag in game
If you have a class 10 , install now the seb's ROM , but the dowloading is very long (50 min )
Thanks
PS : you must install 4ext recovery , to use the touch installer !!!!
Depends what you like/use your phone for? I wanted ICS so I went with TexasICS, looks very nice but still has some bugs.
You should wait for stable ICS

The current Cyanogenmod 7.1 is a good choice and fairly stable.

Same here, I hate cm7's ADW stuff they use. Stock gingerbread UI is much better compared to ADW.
You can go with BuglessBeast which is mostly stock gingerbread with few additions like over clocking support.
If you want to stay bleeding edge then install MeDroid or TexasIce ICS ROMs. They both have camera and gallery issues, missing hardware acceleration and calendar sync issue.

In my opinion the GUI is nicer in ICS, but it is not yet stable enough for full time use. I haven't tried games like Angry Birds yet, but I suspect they wouldn't run well, because graphics aren't properly fixed in the port yet.
First of all ROM basically is ur choice how u wanna use ur phone.
As u said that u already used miui, y bothering trying any other ROM? It's fast stable and good looking ...
On the other hand sense ROM is also good but u always have the processing issues unless u have a high class SD card.
Bugles beast is a nice suggestion for u to use gingerbread UI with smooth and minimal usage...
PS: since I've started using miui I've not thought about any other ROM

I've practically tried all the ROMs on here, from MIUI to Sense and I've got a few things to say.
MIUI looks like iOS in many ways, but is VERY themable. There are themes for almost anything.
CM7 (mainly samuaz's build) is a very fast and stable ROM. It basically displays the stock android experience with a minimal UI. Highly themable.
Sense: HTC's firmware now ported to the Nexus One. Features a stunning and hefty UI that takes a lot of resources. I've tried all builds here, but mainly Runny AIO and I have to say that's the best build. I love Sense. It is not really recommended to run Sense if you have a class 2 SD card like I do, but I'll upgrade it for a class 6 one tomorrow.
Ice Cream Sandwich/Cyanogenmod 9. Very hyped, but with all rights to it. ICS and/or CM9 are totally awesome ROMs and well worth trying out, despite their flaws. Even with no real hardware acceleration, they're awesome. Use texasice's version if you want near-stock ICS experience with a pinch of evervolv tweaks and use samuaz's build if you want a Cyanogenmod 9 experience. Sometime this year, we'll get an official CM9 build from the Cyanogenmod team, but texasice and samuaz have done an amazing job with porting ICS to us.
Other AOSP builds. These builds also kind of displays the stock android experience, but with user added features and frameworks. Some are based partly on Cyanogenmod 7 while others are based on something else. Bugless Beast and OxygeN1mod are among the best in this category.
You're free to choose what ROM suits you best, but my vote goes to Runny AIO or any of the two ICS builds.
Cheers.

It doesn't unfortunately. I haven't tried to install DT's A2SD on it because as far as I know the kernel used in Bugless doesn't have ext4 support. I might be wrong though ..

You should try also the Ics MeDroid rom, it's really good, with just few bugs and it's quite smooth.

Or CM7.x if you want "stable"

Alternative to Enoms Rom
I am still running Enoms Rom on my N1. This is the most stable and battery effecient Rom I have tried. The problem is that its quite old (Froyo). I was thinking of going to ICS but the stability just isnt there yet. I am thinking of going to Gingerbread instead. Can someone here recommend a good Gingerbread Rom similar to Enoms? I am mainly looking for 720p HTC camera, trackball wake and led notification. Stability and battery life are important as well.

Me either, and i can't see that ever changing. It really is the best of all worlds. It's unbelievably smooth, stable and pretty as hell. Core apps are vast improvements over that which are found in other ROMs.
