Im not going to say your too far away because we do have these 2 ROMS (ports of them technically)
but....this is the EVO Shift section not the EVO section so to get the best possible answers (and to be saved from being flamed here) I would ask in the EVO section
On Evo you probably want to use Synergy.
On Evo Shift Supreme Sense is the best Sense rom and is really cool because it's mostly Sense 3.0. Only problem is no landscape on the home screen with it (Which they are working on).
Other than that Mikshift and Synergy are also good.
On the EVO4G I would hands down suggest MikG v2.5 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0 . It has great battery llife, a ton of Sense 3.0 , really fast, and is completely stable. Run it on the wife's EVO, she loves it. Also have a few peeps who run it on their EVO's, Stable and Solid. With plenty of mods and extra tweaks if that's what your after. But right out of the box, an Excellent Rom.

Hello i have over a month with my Inspire 4G, and im ready to move, since i did love Root features on my Motorola Milestone and want to try gingerbread.
So my requirements for a ROM are simple:
1. Gingerbread
2. Sense 2.1 (this is my first HTC and i love sense, but dont like the lag that produce sense 3 on the Inspire)
So based on that i have narrow down a few ROM checking over the devs forum,
LeeDrOiD 4G
Android Revolution HD
ClearDroid
Inspired Ace
So what you guys think?, which is the Best Gingerbread, Sense 2.1 ROM?
Im really hoping good opinions since im pretty new with my Inspire and not know much about those ROMs...
Thanks
Everyone's opinions will differ. I am running inspired ace and I think its great. Battery life is good and it runs very smooth. But your best bet is to try each of them for a few days. Make a backup of each one when you switch to the next. Then once you figure out which one you like the best just restore that backup. That's how I did it anyways. Flashing roms is one of my favorite things about being rooted. It's kind of an addiction. So have fun!

There is no best Rom, only best for you and only you can say which one is best for your device. If you would have searched you would know all best told threads are closed in sight.

I'm thinking about trading my Nexus for a shift since I used to have one and I liked it better than what I have.
The only thing is that I REAALLLLYY like the new Sense 3.5, but there's currently no full rom port for the shift. So, my question is... can the 3.5 apks (like ereader, widgets, and such...) be installed on the shift with a MikRom running Sense 2.1 and 3.0?
Just wondering, bc if so I am definitely getting the shift. I miss Sense, even though I barely used it when I had the shift and the evo, I still liked to have it as an option.
So, again, can Sense 3.5 apks work on a rom with a previous version of Sense?
Great ?. Lets try and see!

They may or may not work. I'd make a Nand before you try, Mik's Roms are odexed. But if you like Sense 3.5 . You might want to check out Supreme Sense. It's a mix of Sense 2.1 and a whole lot of 3.0, including the 3.0 Rotating Rosie.
What's the best ROM for the Sensation in regards with battery life? And performance too (2nd priority)?
Or what do you use and why?
I know asking this question is against the law on XDA, but my girlfriend gave me her phone and asked me make it better. I have a Droid Razr and have it rooted and such. And have rooted/flashed HD2s, HD7s, G2X, and Droid Bionics, so I am not a complete noob.
LeeDroid has been the most stable ROM Iv;e used with the best battery life and performance.
What specifically doesn't she like about the stock rom? It might be easier to make a suggestion, for example, if she hates sense.
Well she's not tech-savy. All she complains about is battery life. And something with better performance will be a nice surprise.
I just came from a few different sense 3.5 roms to an Optimized Stock rom by maff1989. I was tired of random reboots on the sense 3.5 roms plus my battery life sucked so yesterday I switched. My brother has a completely stock sensation and his battery often outlasted mine so you could probably cross those out. Just my experience.
Have you checked her battery log to see what's draining it the most?
I actually gave my girlfriend my Nexus One, which I flashed Cyan on and installed a purple theme(her favorite color) from the market, showed her how to use the photo album widgets, and such. She's become pretty savy with it now, and she loved it when I gave it to her.
Well you're never going to get "good" battery life on a Sensation, but you can improve it. My wife runs InsertCoin 2.5.5 with Bricked kernel 1.5 r1 beta 1, undervolted by 25k and she doesn't complain.
Right now I'm running Pyramid3D 8.2.1 with Bricked 1.6 beta 2 kernel, undervolted by 50k, stripped sense. This is a fresh flash, but so far, so good.
But like I said, neither of our phones have "good" battery life. If I had to rate, I'd just say "ok" but better than stock.
In my experience, they love MIUI w/ Go Launcher EX.
With the MIUI default launcher I remember she hated it. It was a "too boring" iPhone look. Go Launcher EX fixed that problem, just hook her up with the widgets in these 3 apps and she will love it

My vote goes for MIUI ROM.
Great battery life, bling, simple, looks different then other ROMs , if your gf is not concerned with sense and wants a custom Rom that does what HTC's android don't then it's the best option.
The reason that I wrote this is because in my circle people give me their androids to root them, but they have no idea what rooting is , I have tried several roms on Samsung Galaxy 3,galaxy s, galaxy s2,LG optimus one, hd2, HTC incredible, HTC EVO 3d, and more but generally people have a better opinion about MIUI, than others, and its because of different themes and outlook of MIUI, while other roms are not so different compared to MIUI (SKIN DEEP IS WAT I MEAN).I personally use ARHD 4.1.X. (Sense 3.5) on my sensation.
Well you can get her on a CM7 based rom and she already knows how to use it so that part is easy... Then secondly I would get one of the Anker extended batteries and make sure you go through a few battery cycles and on top of that try undervolting it to like a 1ghz i mean the iphone 4 is only 800mhz lol

I got 48 hours on stock. I get 24 hours on ARHD. Going back to stock then probably selling it.
Check out the ROM in my sig. I think she'll like it.
Very stable, very fast, and great battery life (1.5 - 2 days moderate use, 4+ days standby)
Pyramid 3D or LeeDROiD Sensational. My two favorite hands down, and I've tried them all.

Greetings to all developers and super users, I'm just eager to know what are your opinions on the latest SenseUI on top of ICS.
In my opinion, the Sense 3.5 is just not made for ICS at all. It's just an emergency move made by HTC team to release Sense for ICS. This is due to other platforms which quickly developed their patch ICS upgrade for their devices. I't just an 'emergency landing' for HTC.
In Sense 3.6 they've fixed some minor stuff in 3.5 which doesn't fit well together with the ICS framework. BUt still, how the SenseUI in ICS gave an impression to me is that IT IS NOT WELL CONCEPTED! Not as beautiful as Sense 3.0 in GB compared to other manufaturers' UI.
So I'm just saying that I am really eager to see Sense 4.0 for ICS in the near future.
What say you guys?
if HTC had actually given it a bit more AOSP style to Sense with ICS, then it might be ok....but as it, it actually looks like poop in my honest opinion...hence I now run Virtuous Inquisition 3.0.0
True, I think at the moment, Mathias' design concept is more mature than HTC's. But the fact is that many feature in ICS is already adopted since Sense 3.0. So I think that Sense 4.0 will be a blast again
sense is awful... that is just my opinion
I don't mind a little bit of sense (Some comes in handy sometimes) but they basically killed the beauty of ICS with there **** sense overlay. At least color stuff correctly. It looks very hurried and just glued together on htcs part. With that said virtuous Inq took out all the crappy junk that HTC put in and made it great again.
I'm actually considering a move to Virtuous ROM. Because it's the best AOSP so far I saw plus everyone's been using that.
I agreed with the glued part. It is really like just glued in a hurry. Not like the usual SENSEUI..
Yes sense 4.0 will totally change Ics UI....we have to wait some days.
The question is WHEN...
there are some leaks about it.. but not convincing enough...
Just hope it will be epic as ever ^^
sense 3.5/3.6 doesnyt really fit to ics, htc got to rethink their vision of new sense, but first news gives us hope that htc has right direction
on the other hand i can't work without sense, its the most complex launcher and i've tried working without it, but it was pointless, always comming back to sense
Personally,i just want aosp based rom. I hate Sense and always did dating back from my old Wildfire lol.
Using HyperSense CM7 ATM
ok, after I tried using Virtuous 3.0.0, I decided to go back to ARHD.
reason??
Because after using the AOSP based ROM, I realized how Sense made life easier. Although I must say that the AOSP has better design than Sense 3.5/4.6, but there are still some functions which Sense came really handy with.
So mean while, I'm coming back to ARHD ^^
It's insulting. 3.6 is such a minor "upgrade" to 3.5 while 4.0 is a massive upgrade (no quotes) to 2.3.x, putting that ****lick overlay on top of AOSP totally kills it. That, and the gray color scheme introduced in 3.5 is aweful, it's so dull. Sense 3.0 is the last decent Sense.
I agree, actually maybe Sense 3.0 was so great is because it has huge improvement from the previous Sense.
I would love to have ICS stock camera app in htc sense..
i think sense 3.6 is just a quick update to shut all of us up about wanting ICS
after some time we'll get a better sense version...
remember sense 2.1? it was absolutely the same in froyo and gingerbread but when HTC announced the sensation it was rocking sense 3.0 and everyone was drooling over it
While the first pictures and videos of ICS emerged, I told my self "nah, that can't be it. They said they where about to make it look better... "
When ICS was officially announced, I was deeply disappointed, that it really looked as ugly as it did in the leaked versions.
So I'm really enjoying sense 3.6, even if I had hoped for more.

Personally Im not really looking forward to ICS with Sense 3.6. ICS is one thing but IMO Sense 3.6 isnt exactly different from Sense 3. The only thing I like about 3.6 is its camera but it isnt really a make or break decision for me.
If HTC rolls out ICS and Sense 4.0 for Sensation sometime later, I do hope they'll have better camera features (not over Sense 3 of course, even 3.6 camera trumps over 3.0 lol)
But I think Sense 3.6 is a compensation of ICS design. Because the original ICS has no menu button and Sensation has menu button.

plz your opinion?
any of this rom got focus in camera?
Best Sense 4.0 Rom
Hey, most of the Sense 4.0 roms are very similar. My favorite one though is InserCoin because I can trust him to release regular updates. Virtuous on the other hand always create and abandon the ROM, no regular fixes and upgrades from them.
Running Eclipse - all seem good for what I want it for (don't use WiFi tether or BT)
As for updates, I have no loyalty to one Dev - I'll try them all
Virtuous Eclipse here. smooth and stable.
I don't know
