[Q] What Roms are you waiting for?

Since the current break thru on Fr3vo and soon Fre3dom.
My excitement level is getting higher and higher everyday.
Don't get me wrong I am enjoying what I have at the moment.
I have had no issues at all with my Sensation.
But XDA and being an owner of the HD2 I have become a flashaholic.
I am wondering what roms everyone is waiting on?
I personally can't wait for a Cyanogen or MIUI Rom to flash.
And you?

I'm looking forward to CM and an optimized Sense 3.0 rom

AOSP 2.3.4 ROM of some sort, CM and a deodexed bloatfree version of 3.0.

we have a winner!
same thing for me, the optimizations in 2.3.4 would be quite the boon for the S4G

Anything Ice cream sandwich based.

OP said it already... CM7 (!!) and MIUI. I'm switching over from a G1, so I'm looking forward to MIUI just to play with, but CM7 as a daily driver. Can't wait!

same here, cm7 will probably be epic

Villainrom!

Would love to try miui sometime.
Else, just a very very clean rom like CleanDhd was for the Desire Hd.
All bloatware removed, as clean as it could possibly get

One of these days pretty soon I'm going to do a deodexed bloatfree Sense 3.0. First HTC phone for me, but I've gotten to quite like Sense. Just needs some optimization though.
Maybe a quicker kernel too.

CM7 will do for me... Or any rom that does not use allot of battery to run

Bring em on...all the great cooked dinners by our chefs! Happy Flashing

I am looking forward to CM7

me too.
Looking for a Sense-based rom that is optimized.
Might install CM7 on it to play around.
But right now, I am pretty much used to Sense.

MiUi = Best ROM for performance + functionality + eyecandy. (those Chinese know their ****)
If no MiUi then CM for sure!
I like Sense, but it's not the most practical.

I agree. I have always had CM7 on ny HD2.
Then I got the Sensation I tried out a MIUI Rom and love it.
I'm wondering why I never with MIUI as a daily runner before.

[REQ] FreEVO Bare Naked Rom

Looking for a port of this, or something similar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192827
I want something that is stripped down straight version of gingerbread, hopefully I am not the only one that wants something other than sense ports?
Thanks for all of your hard work.... I would cook something up myself if I was confident enough

Agreed! +1....+10....+ a fricken million..
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App

Oh please PLEASE someone make this happen!

From the description of the bare naked rom, it just seems like what I'm running: InsertCoin v1.0.6 with sense removed the no-sense script from the Android Revolution HD thread.

Woohoo! You got sense with the sense apps deleted and a gingerbread launcher! Want a cookie?
We are talking about like the Nexus S! Or G2! Or G2x! And even the G1! A pure android rom!

Umm, the ROM being discussed in this thread is just a Sense based ROM with Sense stuff removed. It's not a pure Android ROM either.
Like he said, you can download any of the ROMs currently out there and run the NoSense script and you basically have the same thing. AOSP ROMs will be out eventually which is what we really want.

I really shouldn't post anything...

But what I'm saying is the same as the OP. Only roms are being made sense with no script. It would be nicebto have pure android, no themes. Yes with time, but people keep pushing sense. I hate cyanogen roms. I don't understand why people use it. Though it is stable. But I'd use it so I can actually free up my ram....sense just rapes the limited(but rather large) ram.

[Q] Pure ics rom???

Hey guys i have the htc sensation z710e and I am running sense-o-maniac ICS 4.0.3. It is stable and no bugs but I am growing bored of HTC SENSE, does anybody know any roms for the sensation that are PURE ICS and stable? If so, please give me a link.
thanks,
sensation lover.

Virtuous made one where they manually removed the Sense features. But I think it's still a Sense framework and therefore basically still Sense.
I'm with you. I hate everything about Sense. I've tried it a couple times on the Sensation. It doesn't last an hour before I flash back to a pure AOSP alpha build of CM7 that has it's share of bugs...but that I still like better than Sense.
Best bet is to wait on CM9.

Virtuous Quattro is pure AOSP.

[Q] leaked sense 3.0 ruu for inspire 4g

hello,
I am looking for a leaked sense 3.0 ruu.exe for the inspire 4g. I don't want a custom rom. I saw somewhere a ruu for sense 3.0 on my inspire. I have googled everywhere and can't find it. can someone please give me a link to it. thanks.

As far as I know there is no leak for the Inspire 4G. Closest we have is the 2.3.5 release for the Canadian Telus Desire Hd our identical twin.

Yeah I believe gene was/is working on it.

He is, was, and it is working well. But although it is the Sense 3.0 ROM that the inspire should get, it is still not a RUU.exe and you will need a rooted phone to install it.

haha, I really need to stop assuming everyone is rooted on XDA

for your informatiion I have rooted my inspire before, but I don't like it because the sense roms aren't any good. zooming in the browser is buggy. I liked miui wp7 themed, but.... it's just. and all the ics roms aren't fully... which I understand, because it's something new and people have to work out all the bugs. but still my captivate i was constantly flashing roms, but I've messed up imei on it. and when I go to cm 7 it's fast but I end up missing sense. and I would love to have sense 3.0 or sense 3.5 rom, but they are buggy. the zooming in the browser isn't great. and memory runs out.

Well if you are rooted there are many Sense 3.0 and 3.5 ROMs on this forum. I am using the WCX Sense 3.5 v2.7 ROM and I experience nothing of what you speak. It looks like stock but is highly tweaked.
But as MMM-BACONSTRIPS mentioned, Gene Poole has the most stock version of the 3.0 Sense ROM available. It is closest you are going to get to what would be the stock 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 for the Inspire.

You can't botch up the efs partition on these phones without deliberately clearing the memory of the efs partition.
A Sense 3.5 ROM can be very quick if it's built right.

[Q] Why don't we have a stock vanilla ics rom on this phone?

I come from using a nexus one, and before that a g1, so I am used to having vanilla android on my phone or at least having the option to have it. I bought the one S when my phone broke down thinking that the htc sense UI would not be such bad thing. However after a few weeks I still can't seem to get used to it and actually have grown to hate it. I installed a rom that doesn't have most of sense but it still doesn't have the same feel. So getting to my question, why isn't there a rom that is just plain ics without sense. Will this ever be available?
Also kind of off topic, but why was sense ever created? I understand that htc wanted to put a twist on android but wouldn't it be enough to create the apps and widgets? I feel like some of the key features of android are lost and for little gain. What is going to happen when jelly bean rolls out? Will one S owners have to wait more while htc tweaks it to work with sense again? I have gotten really used to the hardware aspects of this phone but I am contemplating switching over to a galaxy nexus just for the benefit of having vanilla android and having more development support.

Have you tried CM9 or Paranoid?

They are not AOSP, they are based on it. And heavily modded. This dude just wants AOSP.

aren't they all based on Sense kernel? which beats the purpose of it all.

Idk man... I'm new to this phone, but I know my phone is now on Android 4.0.4, and there isn't a single hint of sense ANYWHERE in the ROM. I also had to flash a different kernel so I would be willing to bet its not on the stock kernel

that differen kernel is still based on a heavy "sensed" one by HTC. easily tested by it's multitasking ability or lack thereof. i don't think anybody "de-sensed" it completely yet.
HTC One S via XDA

CM9, AOKP and Parandroid are not sense Based. Ohe kernel is not sense based. a good example is MIUI, there are 2 MIUI builds, one is AOSP based (based on CM9) and the other one is sense Based.
Want proof by your own? flash CM9 or AOKP and flash a sense kernel on top of it and try to boot the phone. you will get a boot loop.
CM9 is the closest you will get to an AOSP pure vainilla rom since is based on it.

You guys on the first page must be pretty challenged... CM9, AOKP, and PARANOID are based off the the CM9 source. They have NOTHING to do with Sense. The only Sense based ROM (not stock ROMs, IE TrickDroid) is one version of MIUI as it has the stock Sense camera and such...
Sense was created because it's what HTC wanted. Why is there TouchWiz, Moto Blur, or anything else like that? It's because the device manufacturers wanted their own version. Thank the dev team for the option to switch different version of Android... We will only have AOSP ROMs and not ever stock ICS (no mods) ROMs because there is no stock ICS for our device. Only Sense or AOSP.

That's really funny that you're calling him out when CM is definitely not stock vanilla ics.

So, the easiest answer to this question is because no one, including the OP, has created one yet, if its even possible with what there is to work with.
I'm actually pretty happy with all of the options devs have created for this phone.

only "nexus" phones have vanilla ics

He never said that. Relax, man. The OP is just commenting on how he's tired of Sense and would prefer a more vanilla experience.

What does "stock ICS" actually mean in this context? AOSP is the true Android experience as Google intended, right? So, is stock ICS something else?
So we can get:
AOSP - original;
AOSP - customized;
Sense - original (default)
Sense - customized.
Is this correct?
Wouldn't we be able to get TouchWiz ROMs, for example?
I'm new to flashing ROMs and all, but I've been following the scene for the past few months, and even though I can say I'm among the brighter people, I still have difficulties understanding - mostly - the nomenclature of the scene.

We don't have it because is EVIL. That stupid google search gadget permanently stuck to all pages is ridiculously stupid. Plus indeed a lot of the interface. HTC Sense is like a cool breeze.

well i come from HTC Sensation ROMS, and in that sections there are a lots of "Senseless ROMS" where everything related with sense is removed, except for the camera, and the roms were so smooth and as fast as AOSP ROMS, the feeling was exactly the same,
I hope someone make a senseless rom for HTC One S soon because its really awesome (like a AOSP rom without any bug becaus its based on a sense rom byt without any sense part)

There are AOSP roms; they are just in the alpha stage of development and rather buggy in some areas. If you want a senseless ROM (as in the actual sense launcher removed), any of the HTC-based roms (including stock, non-rooted phones) can have Sense removed and replaced by any launcher from the market. I've tried the existing AOSP roms, and aside from the bugs... the stripped down HTC-roms as just a quick.
