[POLL] [REQUEST] AOSP ROM / MIUI ROM for our Sensation

Hey guys,
I know that developing is in its early stages (doh, it came out yesterday haha), but I just wanted to let our beloved devs that we really really want to have a rom that is AOSP. Sense is a good eye candy, but I am sure that there are many of us in here that would like to get the maximum out of this beast of ours, and I think that AOSP android would give us all that.
Either that, or MIUI ROM - just something different than the Sense 3.0
I am also including a poll - to see if its just me with the desire of getting a non-sense rom ( and by that I mean AOSP, not just removed htc.sense and adding launcher pro ).
I love CyanogenMod as much as the next guy, but I remember that on my MT4G - the AOSP version used to run even better than the cm7.
I kinda liked Sense once I got it, but now I am getting tired of it - its just too much! I want a plain phone, that works like the hardware was meant to be.

I'm waiting for CM7

+1! would absolutely LOVE to see miui on my sensation!

I'm waiting for any ROM that is AOSP or atleast something different from sense.

MIUI would be wonderful!

I don't get the hype for MIUI. I have only seen it in videos but it looks pretty ugly to me. Why would you want to trade in Android OS for an iPhone wannabe?

I like MIUI because it was simple. I guess the biggest reason would be that it was just different. Another one would be that I liked the way some of their apps worked. Such as Miui music.
Honestly for the sensation I'd like to see all of the above. I get bored a lot and to alleviate that I tend to flash different roms often.

AOSP would be heaven, but I doubt that you'll beat kmobs to the punch.

not CM7 perse, but a good AOSP or AOSP based rom is needed to create MIUI. This is from the MIUI forums regarding a port to the Sensation.

Great...
i want to see miui on my htc sensation...
I'll be waiting...

I voted for CyanogenMod, ASOP and MIUI ;-)
Not big on monogamy at this point, I want all.
Waiting patiently.

Be patient, they're working on it. Kmobs has the basics working but they won't release until it's ready.
I check download.cyanogenmod.com and sensation development like 3 times a day, lol.

I'd love CM7.1 to work on our Sensation.... did try the test rom in the Development forum and apart from not being able to turn on the bluetooth, and losing a few settings like Internet Sharing, it feels pretty complete....

Could be me... Voted for CM7

Former Nexus S user here.
AdamG cooked up some delicious OxygenROM for the NS. Supposedly one of his cohorts is porting Oxygen to the Sensation. Hopefully that makes it here because it was an incredibly fast and lightweight AOSP rom.

oh I can't wait for CM7 on my Sensation.... I like Miui too but not nearly as much as CM7. I really miss RoyalGinger that I had on my MT4G, I almost wish I'd of waited to buy my sensation until CM7 dropped for it.

Stupid request, wait and give devs the time they need for there awesome work for all of us.
By the way, c-mod is much more greater for every device because they're developing than stolen c-mod stuff modded by miui "devs".

I haven't used cyanogenmod since cm5, and want that impressed with features. I'll sure many more have been added since then and hope to see it soon. Some of the plain aosp apps kind of suck vs the manufacture flavor though. hopefully the latest CM builds have many bulls info them. I do prefer vanilla ish (launcherpro) vs manufacture launchers though

MIUI music is the coolest modded music player out there...and MIUI is fun to tinker with and reminds me of iOS...used to be a Dev so it makes it nostalgic..plus you can change so many things without coding or fussing

[Q] possible to port meego?

Hey People and developers! i was wondering if its possible to port meego os to our htc sensation, since meego is based on a linux kernal and i believe its open source. i know not all features would work but if development gets put into this i believe its possible. I hhope to see a developer to try this and i would help in any way possible also htc has released open source sdk(if it helps lol)
Link to a website that shows its possible :

haha good answere, my answere is to see something new, e.g miui > too iphonish , Cm7> stock Aosp, Htc sense roms> tweaks to stock sense etc... meego> something new and interesting

I'd say it's possible...MeeGo is indeed based on Linux and is open source...I'll see if I can get anything going when I get home from holidays
To post #2: MeeGo is actually really good...or at least Nokia's version is. When Nokia first announced the N9, I dreamt of a 4.3 dual core MeeGo phone...if MeeGo could be ported to the Sensation, that would be fantastic!

This would be great. Something else to toy around with and meego definately has potential, just that not as many hardware companies have jumped on board compared to android

I would also like to see meeGo. meeGo is interesting and I would to play with it without buying a new phone.
@EddyOS,
If he had mentioned porting and TouchWiz in the same sentence (uh oh I just did) then yeah he'll probably be in for major flaming.

That's what's going around here now, the slogan of this board before 'prepare for flaming' became fashionable was 'because we can'

I think it will be much more feasible after the n9 is released

Well I love HTC Design and build quality since the HTC Touch Diamond back in 2007/8.
Also February of this year when I got the Inspire there weren't many android options on AT&T. I wasn't getting the outdated Aria or Captivate, I hated the current iteration of Motoblur on the Atrix, and I didn't like Touchwiz 3 on the Infuse that had yet to come out. Best option for me at the time was the Inspire because I couldn't take the iPhone anymore.
I just happen to not be a big fan of U/I skins in general - aside from the new Touchwiz 4.

Well like stated before, if you don't like sense getting an HTC phone was not your best choice however since you made the choice and lucky for you the Inspire has a lot of development, you're not totally boned since you don't like the stock sense feel. Again, I recommend and stand by any of the Collective team's work (Absolution and BBmod). MIUI is nice too but reminds me of an iPhone too much so if I really wanted that type of look, I would have gotten an iPhone (not trying to insult anyone, just my opinion so any of the MIUI fans take exception to that, sorrrrry!!) Best bet try all of the AOSP ROMs and decide for yourself which one you like the most!

Isn't the point of android being able to create your own environment that suits you? Isn't that why we have such a bevvy of ROMs to choose from? I'm on the same boat with the OP, loving HTC's build quality but sense doesn't suit me 100%. I've just recently re-installed LauncherPro and I'm enjoying the environment much better.

Yet you recommend ROMs that strip sense from the phone. Why didn't you just get a Nexus phone?
I'd say that Touchwiz has more in common with the look/feel of an iPhone than MIUI has by far. MIUI has a very nice, clean feel to it and adds a lot of elements of customization to the table. I really enjoyed using it while I had my old Captivate, more so than CM7. Right now I'm enjoying Android Revolution + LauncherPro since this offers the most flexibility for my use. I'd say try out MIUI and see if you like it.

My good friend, I think you've misread or misunderstood what I was going at. The OP states he doesn't like sense. My obvious step in logical thinking is, "why get a sense based phone then?" I mean follow your own advice and tell the OP to get a nexus prime since he has explicitly stated he doesn't much like sense.
You're right I do recommend to him CM7 based ROMs because he has stated he doesn't like sense. Why would I advocate or recommend sense based ROMs to a user who has stated he doesn't like sense. I don't mind sense, I actually enjoy the U.I. I don't like that its a resource hog though. So I use CM7 based ROMs, not out of distaste for sense ROMs, just out of lack of customization in most of the sense based ROMs. From time to time I do use sense based ROMs ( BD or ARHD). I've just gotten to know the devs and users of the collective and have a hard time leaving them. Great guys/girls and some of the friendliest people you're gonna meet on XDA.
Like I said, my opinion on MIUI, if you took exception..nothing I can do there friend. That's an inner struggle you'll have to square away. MIUI is a great ROM, never said it wasn't, just reminds me of an iPhone. Plan and simple. My opinion. You're entitled to yours.

ICS Whats all the hype?

With there being so many nice looking roms out there, whats the hype. I have read about all the features and flash but appearance it is just plain ugly... Which comes back to my question, why deal with a ugly UI for a beta bugged bunch of new features.

I don't really see how the UI is ugly. I'm using InsertCoin ICS and it seems the same except for the bottom dock in the home screen. Still has sense 3.5 but adds the features of ICS.

funny
I honestly think that all these sense roms look horrible in comparison. i think any rom I have used looks worse i am in love with the ui.

Stock ICS does look better than the one that currently leaked out!
Also..what is S3 SOC async? can you guys explain that one?

Why would you say the appearance of ICS is ugly if you're judging it based off of ROMs that have Sense? What you really mean is that you don't like the appearance of Sense, not ICS.
All the hype behind ICS is that it will hopefully allow the Sensation to make proper use of the processor for the first time. Not a single ROM, dual-core forced or with any other sort of weird bandage fix, makes PROPER use of the Sensation's dual-core. The hope is that ICS has better multi-core support than GB does and that therefore the Sensation will run better and more properly on ICS.

But will it REALLY release the power of our Snapdragon cores? I really hope it does but I worry that Googley Bear chose OMAP for the Nexus for a reason. Will there really be the necessary code in place to support all the current multi-core SoCs, or will it be added as needed for new chips going forward? Hope I'm wrong : ) It seemed to me at the press release for ICS that Google spent more time talking about the font than multi-core support.....

MIUI to ONE XL coming soon!

Over at the MIUI site, there some new about MIUI ROM being created for the HTC ONE X being in beta right now. Additionally they talk about how one of their developers is getting the HTC ONE XL from AT&T and will be changing the beta for the ONE X to work for the XL as well. Just though I should share these awesome news

thats great but doesnt miui basically emulate ios

Not at all. The stock miui theme looks a little like iOS but the miui theme engine can make your phone look like anything you want

it's basically the best of both worlds.
BUT. It's also WILDLY themeable and that's the reason I like it so much.
OMGOMGOMGOMG this makes me that much more excited to get my phone. lol. MIUI has been and most likely will always be my favorite rom basically ever, aside from AOSP. I like to use both on occasion.

I don't know why anyone would want to replace the One X's stock interface with the MIUI one. Sure, past Sense versions have been bloated, and MIUI has been a great (in some ways) replacement. Quick, pretty, functional. But I haven't had a moment's lag on my One XL, so I don't need anything quicker/more responsive. Any increase in responsiveness would be moot. And (IMHO), MIUI doesn't look as good as Sense 4. Lastly, you're actually going to lose functionality by running MIUI. I can almost guarantee you'll lose many great camera features, such as the awesome burst mode and simultaneous video/photo taking. HDR likely won't translate over either.
On another point, someone mentioned once (can't remember who, but I think it was a Cyanogen dev) that the MIUI team doesn't pay as much attention to security holes as they should, instead focussing on function and UI bugs.
Just my two cents!

Miui would be awesome and I agree the theme aspect of it is just awesome and given I'm a theme addict it would be ideal for me. This is exciting news indeed.
Sent from wherever I am!

whaaaaaaaaaaat?! this is very unexpected, but great, news!
i'm a lover of MIUI. they're just now getting stable-ish releases on the GNex but not a dialy driver imo. hope i hang on to the HOX long enough to see a stable one.

If I could just find a rom or something similar to what I have now on my cappy that would be great. And the only two main things I like is how it puts my weather forecast in the notification pull down bar and it also shows weather and upcoming calendar events on the lockscreen.

I'll be installing the AT&T One X beta as soon as I see it. MIUI's so freaking awesome, I love how each part of the phone (lock screen, task bar, UI etc) can be skinned on it's own. People who think MIUI's just a wanna be iOS probably haven't dug into it. I initially installed it because I was an iOS fan with an Android phone. But as I got into the theming I was just blown away.

OMG! I need this!
I used MIUI on my Evo 4G for well over a year, my fav ROM ever. I cant wait if this is true.

Meanwhile, you can use the MIUI home launcher
