I´m new posting here, but I´d been searching for a while in this forum for a Sense Rom that makes me forget enomther´s 1.6 Rom (the one I revert back after getting tired of FC´s and Homescreen Loads of the latest Rom) and I had finally found the first native looking 32B SenseRom.
The curiosity is that I found it in Dream´s Dev Forum...based on one Rom from guess who: Eugene!
[ROM] Sense Revolution v.2.2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579674
Good News: I´d installed this Rom with just one partition (fat32 of course)= Fastest ever Sense xperience you´ll ever enjoy+ no FC+ NO HOME LOADS.
Bad News: some typical problems with Bluetooth, Wifi, G-Sensors and Graphics errors when gaming (Speedforge and Head to Head Racing) due to RAM hack craps.
02/12/09 Update : New Version is called MYHEROrevolution v.2 (direct link added)

I would've said this was the wrong place for this but it's actually pretty helpful. I didn't notice it in the dream section. Seems that's the only place 32b magic users find most roms.
Thanks for the heads up justclimb, flashing right now just to try it out. Wifi's a bummer. I use that ALOT.
Update: Wifi seems to be working on it. It's a little sluggish though, i'm going to reflash with the proper partitions.

Th Bad News: some typical problems with Bluetooth, Wifi, G-Sensors and Graphics errors when gaming (Speedforge and Head to Head Racing) due to being a G1-built Rom.
I´m actually testing Qtek´s latest Rom and like all others I´m tired of home loads, multiple partitions, swapiness and all that non native crap. Until someone turns this great Revolution Rom into something "magical" I´ll stick to Qtek´s deleting the Sense Apk preferences and pressing home...

well i think this is a good poll my vote is hero_over it's very stable and super fast and no lag in the homescreen you need a swap and ext but thats is no problem with the new amon recovery ;-) and the best thing is wifi g-sensor works ;-) i tryed many roms so... this runs best for me
If only ttran001's OTPA Sense UI ROM was here i would vote for that.
I've been using it for 4 weeks now and its the smoothest thing i've ever tried
have any one tried the rom by maxima
as the guys at the unlockr recommend it as the best ROM
It is the best, right after ttran001's ROM.
Maxisma's got the kernel problem with SOME! people being able to use the ROM and some people not.
ttran001 had that problem too, but he fixed it by a reverting patch to another kernel.
SO how does Trojan Final Hero stack up against the roms of ttrann001 and maxima's?
Ive got the Trojan Final Hero rom installed, almost never had the loading screen but every app i launch does take two seconds or so to actually boot up, you click, screen goes black for a few secs and i see the app. However ive not had a homescreen reload yet. I do have to use 128mb swap to prevent that tho.
Since some chefs had sadly abandoned this forum...
I´ve just added some links to their newest work.
I also wanted to add after i saw you linked eugene's old rom, that SuperMagic is one of the BEST roms i've ever tried. i liked it better than trojan rom!
It doesn't have the regular sense ui rosie but it's very solid and pretty snappy. My only problem was every now and then getting loading screens, i believe it was because i was using 32mb swap. I'm probably going to restore my nandroid backup and try that out again!
Currently trying qtek's and loving it!
It's a close call between eugene's and qtek's. very close.

I did. Think i don't like about it is it took a great deal of time to open apps/settings/widgets. that's my gripe with most hero roms, the wait time on answering the phone, opening up a map when i need it open and flipping through multiple settings.
Hero over's nice, but supermagic just stomped it when it came to snappyness in between different apps and things of that sort.
Maybe i did something wrong in the settings, i'll probably give it a try. I've tried alot of roms, it's possible i might've made a setup mistake.
Devs had both jumped out or stopped their work on 32B SenseRoms...
One thing amazes me: Why on the Hell doesn´t HTC put a Donut or Eclair Update into their 32a Magics?
Since it all keeps the same, no one seems to relaunch the dev-party...
mlign's 3.1.1 is the best so far, gotta give the kid some serious respect. that rom is the truth

I might be wrong about hero_over´s ROM, but I first abandoned it due to battery problems, and afterwards I return to it after some positive comments and noticed that the very same problems kept going. Then I tried pulling some widgets out of my home screen, and now battery lasts for two days of normal use: Music Widget was the cause.
Arguably the fastest and balanced Sense Rom out there, Mlign´s 3.0 was my last try, nothing kept my attention.
I´ll take it for a round...
Poll battle is a fierce one on the top

Qtek´s is the most reliable, the latest 2.2 version lacks swap management, wait a little for Qtek´s work to finished and you´ll had the fastest Rom in there:
Until then I keep using Herver´s, and appart from a few battery nightmares, the rom is reasonably fast, so it´s easely recomendable.
Not sure it should be some kind of competition, but if it is about giving a shout out to a dev's ROM that has really impressed then I've got to say;
Hero_over
I've had this ROM on my phone since last friday and I haven't had a FC, home restart or noticeable slow down even yet! No other Hero ROM has given me that, nor have I been able to keep any other Hero ROM on the phone for more than a couple of days. I tried multiple different Hero ROMs but day-to-day useability just wasn't there if I was being honest with myself. I gave up on Hero on the 32b and went to CM, I used his and upgraded right up to the latest 4.2.5 with Enoch as a theme. That ROM is seriously fast, yet Hero_over hasn't suffered in comparison. A friend has a Hero and we couldn't see any difference in use, can't say fairer than that.
The only thing I haven't got working is BT, but I haven't tried a headset and I haven't really investigated any soultions in the thread as I don't use BT.
I switch between different sense ui ROM. Now, I found a ROM made for G1 but also compatible with MT3G. It runs smoothly on my 32B device.
You guys might want to try it.

That´s a good ROM based on Drizzy´s...yet you should know that Vodafone 32b´s have some isues with graphics as well as some unspected reboots.
PD: I´m downloading Qtek´s latest version 2.3: Link updated.
How come ttran001's newest rom is not in this list? I think it's an awesome rom. Incredibly stable, pretty snappy, and it's just as good as Qtek's in my opinion. It should be updated.
Hi, any screen short of:
- ROM CursorSense32A and,
- MyHero 2.0.5 with Official SenceUI and
I plan to buy a Sapphire, so I ask me if exist an equivalent ROM with sens UI (same on HERO)?
Regards
SenseUI - is HTC original UserInterface, so no difference between CursorSense and MyHero.
p.s. difference between these ROMs - different SPL and radio

Thanks very well for your help!!!
What is the best ROM (stablility, fluididy,...) between CursorSense and MyHero?
Synchro (mail, sms, data, contact,...) works very well, no problem?
cursor sense hands down.
I was running MyHero 2.0.5 since its release last november, there had been no problem whatsoever, everything worked flawlessly and IMHO it was pretty quick already... Until last week when I suddenly feel the need for a new ROM, I tried CursorSense RC1. It's simply faster in every aspect and also seems to have improved my 3G speed.
Some people might be hindered by the need for new SPL/radio as required by CursorSense but look no further, it's well worth the hassle to get new SPL/radio (that're also downgradeable if you change ROM later). The author has written an excellent guide that is easy to follow evem for newbies, but if there's anything you're unsure of, do make use of the board here and ask questions instead of risking to brick your phone.
Hey... I'm a little confused regarding which ROM to pick for my 32A magic.
I really like the new officialli feautures (Sense and look--- Home screen, weather animations etc etc) on the HTC legend and Desire.
That's why i wan't to pick a rom which look like the "feel" of Legend / desire.
But what roms is like that?
What's important is:
- Stable
- Fast
What can you recommend? Unfortunately there are very little screens of the different version / comparisons... Thats why i'm asking here
Recommend: Read this before starting a thread, Most Question Asked are Answered
Q- Which ROM is best for me/ Which ROM is the best for 32A/B?
A- Take some time on the forums, look at the ROMs available for your device and individually assess what works for you by reading the various issues affecting them and make a decision. If that still doesn't work out for you, hey, that's what makes XDA great, try a different one and so on, till you find one that YOU'RE happy with. It's very subjective since what my needs are could be totally different from what yours are.
Yes but instead of testing all the roms... Then i know that many doesn't meet my requirements..
"I really like the new officially feautures (Sense and look--- Home screen, weather animations etc etc) on the HTC legend and Desire." Therefore i will like a rom based on that..
And without to many screens on the site :/ it could be very easy for someone just to recommend me a couple based on that..
You can start your search here, it even includes some ratings for stability/speed etc. Just make sure it's the correct type (32A/32B) and that your radio version is correct for that rom.

(replace "hxxp" with "http")
I'd recommend Senpei's Legend rom. It's 2.1 with all the Sense UI goodness without too many crazy mods to unbalance it. It's for 32A w/ 6.35 radio.
For SenseUI on 32A magic, I suggest CursorSense. It's cupcake, but everything works, it's fast and perfectly stable. I still find alot of the eclair sense ROMs for new radio are still a bit unstable and some things like camera and BT may or may not work.
The problem about a topic like this is that we get one every week or so. And since it doesn't have anything to do with development of phone OS related stuff it would probably fit better in another category
Anyway
32A Cupcake with HTC sense go for CursorSense.
32A Eclair with HTC sense go for Senpei's Legend or CapySlide.
Alan090 had a decent port of the my touch slide rom here recently. Old radio.
Only thing not working decently appeared to be bluetooth. But this is a sense issue affecting android 2.1 ports to magics apparently.
I Think you would find that this rom had alot of what you want.
Personally im hoping he keeps updating it with the new cm kernel ports and the pershoot improvements. I Would like to move to it soon as my second rom.
Otherwise I agree with ronni.
The only problem I had with any new radio sense port was the fact that usb tether doesn't work properly for me.

just cus u asked so nicely I will grant your request and add pershoots kernel
was waiting for an update to the rom from chiefz but he seems to have been on cyanogenmod 5 or something I know thats what I am using
also this is either suited for the general section - or like above - try out a bunch
see what works for you
Thank you very much... I will look into the different Roms listed here...
But one major thingh missing.. Is screenshots of the rom's. Ex just a screendump of the homescreen and menu screen could be VERY usefull...
Can the 2.1 version for Rogers can put onto the T-Mobile version of the HTC Magic or will it be problematic?

Come On Dudes! Do It! A Magic Sense Rom must run good on the G1!
Maybe somebody could replace the Sense UI for the Android original. The hardware is not so different, just a little bit more memory.
I want this ROM ported to HTC Magic 32B because since Android 2.x we always have memory leaks in the camera driver.
I definitely want this ported!
I definitely want this ported too! Especially if it finally bring Sense to the G1 without draining our battery in less than day. Or in another cases requires so many changes that it becomes too unstable.

this is definitely possible. Most people Dont know that the cause for battery drain is a combination of:
1. swap
2. "optimized kernels"
These both exist to make sense roms usable on our phones, and they do make them usable but they drain battery.
the only advantage that this 32a build with sense may have is optimizations of the apk's and frameworks that could account for a speedier experience, and therefore introduce the possibility of cutting down on the two factors listed above.
It is very possible to do, and in fact easy. If the demand is high enough, i'll do it myself... add ideas/input here.
I definitely am up for a port

Another thing to remember is that 32A's have about 100 mb more ram, so 32B's actually need some of those things to make them more usable. Anybody know anything about the radio that released with it? I mean, is it still a locked down 3.X rogers radio, or is it something 2.X, or even 6.X? Another thing of interest would be bluetooth, but I'm not sure if 32A's and B's share the same bluetooth chip. +1 for the port jcarzz, I would try it myself but I'm still learning. We should also try to extract the camara drivers, the way I understand it in CM5/6 we're using a hacky method with backported donut drivers and a few other things. We could really pull a lot from this.
Okay, so I looked a few things up and answered some of my own questions. It does include a new radio 6.35.16.19, but it's not something we can use. Maybe some of the guys who have JTAG equipment can experiment with flashing it. Since it's not a G1 radio we shouldn't get bluetooth working so cross that off the list too. Still a promising release though.

No, just like all the early 1.5 Hero roms that were from 32a phone... no Bluetooth.

Hehe I figured so, but I wasn't rooted yet when all the hero rom's started coming out so I didn't know that til now. And I looked through cyanogen's twitter and he mentioned that the camera drivers were tied to the radio so we can't pull that from it either. GL on porting it.
Hello everyone!
I am from the Xperia X10 forum and I decided that I wanted to get the HTC Inspire and I love it!
I used the ace hack kit to root and s off and all that good stuff and I flashed to the latest AT&T Radio that was released last month as I am on the AT&T network.
My question is if this hasn't been answered a million times already:
What is the best ROM for battery life? I see that there are a lot of HTC Sense ROMS that are overclocked, I do not want mine overclocked, just all that bloatware crap AT&T put on the phone. I would prefer a nice sense rom that has amazing battery life and performance without the overclock.
What is the best custom Radio I should try out? I saw it varies from where you live but is the AT&T stock radio okay or crap? ( I am also concerned how difficult it is as I flashed the latest AT&T radio without using ENG S-OFF method with great success).
Just trying to make the transition from the Xperia to this phone is a little confusing and learning all this new material is a little tricky as the Inspire has been around for a few months now.
Thanks for your input!
Everything depends on many factors, every phone is different, every radio works better for certain areas, etc. You just have to try them and find out what works for you

I would recommend TB's Fusion ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099202 It's Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 and some features ported from Sense 3.0. Battery life has been great for me so far and never had any troubles with it. Fast and stable. What else do you need?
I've been running inspired ace 1.0.1 for quite awhile now. The dev moved to the infuse, so it's not longer supported, but it's such a solid ROM, it really doesn't need much supporting.
A lot of people moved over to seo's ROM, mentioned above, as it's quite similar.
I'm not sure I understand your concern about the radio thing, it seems you have already had success in flashing one via the best and safest method....the non eng s-Off method. Any of the radios listed in the inspire radio thread, in the dev section, are just as easy and safe, so take your pick and try them out. Just be diligent in checking your MD5's.
The OTA radio is solid and many people have had success on a variety of roms using it.
Personally, I've had better luck with the 04.11_M2 radio for the gingerbread ROM I'm running.

Wow quick response! Thanks guys!
I only show a little concern in terms of the radio flashing because I have been looking at different roms so far and they say you need to use the eng S-OFF method to flash a radio, which I don't feel comfortable doing, the safe method always implies when I root, etc, as the Xperia was unbrickable basically because of its locked bootloader.
and scott, for the radio you are using, are you in the united states?

I'm running the factory OTA radio in the States and I've personal found it to be the best, in my opinion.
Also, yes, Inspired Ace is running Sense 2.1 - Click here for Inspired Ace
I personally don't like Sense so I stick with MIUI. The battery life has been fantastic on MIUI - even OC'd to 1.5ghz.

Are you looking at roms in the inspire dev section or the desire hd section? I ask because none of the inspire based roms that I've looked at endorse radio flashing by way of eng s-Off, as the non-eng s-off method is safer. Roms that originate from the actual desire hd section, may very well say that you need eng s-Off.
Keep in mind, some of the roms you see in the inspire thread are by developers who originate from the desire hd, I believe. They offer their ROM in our section because they work on our phones as well.
The desire hd radio thread, at least last I checked, definitely seems to indicate the need for eng s-Off.... All of the instructions in the op of that thread are eng s-Off based. The 'quickflash packages' in that thread I believe also specify the need for eng s-Off to use them. So it wouldn't surprise me if some desire hd-originated roms might say something about needing to have eng s-off.
(It seemed rather odd to me, that they still promote doing it this way even in light of the fact that you don't need eng s-Off to flash radios, but I may be missing something, I don't visit there very often.)
In any case, if you stick to the inspire only radio thread in our dev section, using the radio downloads available in that thread, you don't need to have eng s-Off to flash and test out those different radios. All known-working, and ready to flash without eng s-Off.
I don't have eng s-Off, and I've flashed 2 different radios, with no problems.
And yes, I'm in the US, Washington State, in fact.
All of the above observations about the desire hd stuff...are just that... Cursory observations... I may be off-the-mark a little, but just keep in mind there is info that's been intermingled between these two *almost* identical phones.
Really? Another "whats the best" thread???
Well...they say opinions are like ).(
I've tried almost every Rom/radio/kernel combination out there. And I have to say that CM7 nightlies is the best looking. The themes for them are sick....in a good way. But...I've had nothing but GPS problems with that ROM. If they ever get THAT fixed...and a few other bugs...I'll definitely be going back! Right now I'm on CoreDroid...which is based on sense 3.0. It's the second best I've tried thus far. I like the sense 3.0 live weather wallpapers...and CoreDroid is the only rom that seems to have a stable version of that.
So my vote is for CoreDroid until CM7 gets all of the GPS bugs worked out.
How does CoreDroid compare to LeeDroid? I read through all 82 pages of the LeeDroid thread and except for a few issues it seemed really good.
Is any Rom compatible with the ATT stock radio

They are both good ROMs, give them both a try for a few days each.

Yes, any Inspire / DHD ROM will work with the stock radio.

I used to use leedroid 3.0.3 I loved it great battery life just all around good but when I started updating to the new versions it got slow and sluggish so I tried coredroid 6.8 I have to say I like it better. It has more customization that leedroid does. It is very snappy. Also has great battery life. Your best bet is to try them both. They both have great devs if there's a problem they will address it. Best of luck!

Are both of those based off 2.3? With sense 3.0?

Yes but on leedroid sense 3.0 is an add on. Coredroid is built into the Rom.

Hey I'm from the x10 too! I upgraded like 2weeks aago and I never look back! I'm currently using the gingerbeast rom with the ota att radio. Battery life isn't bad though not the best.
Also rooting the inspire is a bit more pain than the x10 huh? At least the bootloader is unlocked rather than a load of test kernals like in the case of the x10.
Hey Mister J I remember seeing you around back on the X10 forums haha! I feel you man I'm loving all the crazy options we have on here.
J, what rom are you using? I'm considering using the LeeDroid as I am not a big fan of the 3.0 Sense for some reason.
Battery life is a big deal along with full sense 2.1 like at&t rom had.
I'm turning into a ROM whore.
I'd like to say that some of the radio.img and RIL's have really made a difference but I've not been impressed with the radio updates. I'm in Phoenix and I can't say I've been surprised with the updates. The ROM's yeah I've liked some of them and others I've hated.
Learning about the different radio firmware and RIL has really helped me understand how everything was designed and what the different levels mean.
For me its battery and GPS. GPS fix north America really made the phone worth having.
So yeah, I wish I could decide to stick with one ROM. I'm just a rom whore.
