Should be. It's using the official sense ics that HTC released.

Haven't really dug to much into the rom today (working) but a few things in no particular order:
1. Turning off wallpaper scrolling (Launcher settings > wallpaper scroll type) helps Launcher lag but doesn't alleviate completely.
2. Android keyboard will continue to crash until you go in and manually change default input to "touch input"
3. Some market errors.
4. New lockscreen for v4 miui is neat and not completely translated in this version (functionally fine).
5. Comes "overclocked" to 1.5.
6. Gps locked in about 10 seconds, first time.

Plus than miui, is a desensed miui skinned!
The miui framework is the only real miui thing in the rom
Radiofm, camera,keyboard and some settings are sense

So far it's alright. A bit sluggish and since this is my first MIUI, it's kinda odd, no app drawer, different icons, etc...
There are some chinese characters on the lockscreen, but the UI looks uber slick.
Feels a lot like an iPhone, in terms of restrictions.

I believe that's one of the main points of MIUI is the iPhone feel. However it does have some neat features built-in and the organization is slick and tidy.
My favorite is you can record your calls in the phone app.

Will have to check that out. It is a bit annoying having all your apps on screen. There's no way to hide them, unlike in the iPhone via SBSettings, or is there?
The launcher is a bit sluggish, but it's pretty stable to be used daily. Battery Indicator doesn't work, that sucks.

this is my MIUI v4

You can create a folder and then put all your apps in it to make an "App Drawer".

That's not much of help. The whole reason of an app drawer is for organizational purposes. It consists of two tabs, Applications & Widgets.
Nonetheless, my experience with MIUI v4 has been great. I've noticed that after several reboots (done purposely) the chinese characters translate themselves, I guess rebooting sets most things fine. The lock screen however still has some chinese. There are some Sense elements here and there, the keyboard, copy & paste functions but it's fine. I personally prefer it over any keyboard even AOSP. Videos play fine. As for the launcher, set the transition effect to [Classic (no overshoot)] for a smoother swipe between home screens.
I've attached a screenshot

[Q] Sense UI for Captivate?

Hey everybody, I have tried to search around and I have found no luck, but does anyone know if they have ported the sense ui and can you load it on the captivate? maybe a dumb question i dunno but i figured i would give it a try.
Not yet. Mostly everyone has been working on the gps issues and lag fixes.
just use Launcher Pro and then find a .apk file for fancy widget (a copy of the clock), it's not sense, but its much snappier than the stock captivate launcher and it has some HTC like widgets in the paid version, I find it very functional ^_^
Ive tried several different launchers including launcher pro but i found that i like adw launcher the best. You can download a sense theme for it from the market. I previously had samset 1.5 & 1.8 installed which includes the clock widget. After i synced to app brain i was able to reinstall it after i flashed a different rom. This is pretty much my ui of choice. It has been running great, plus you can enable horizontal swipe in the app drawer via adw settings which i find to work more smoothly. Hope that might have helped some for the time being.

Thank You! I too have been looking for a version of sense for the Captivate. This does a good job of pulling off the over all look and feel!
Another vote for the paid version of Fancy Widget. Very customizable and can be made to look just like Sense.
Sense UI isn't just a skin or launcher like TouchWiz. It actually replaces a lot of stuff in the ROM and has its own framework. You can't just "add" it to a ROM. It IS the ROM. I don't think you'll have it running on Galaxy S phone anytime soon.

[ROM] 10/28 MikG 2.58 Senseless, and Synergy rls1 senseless, The Classic V0.0.3

OK server is back up.
Click here for all downloads, present and past
All previous versions are again available.
::NOTE ON ALL LOCKSCREEN INCLUDED VERSIONS::
The lockscreen-included versions of the MikG roms 2.57 and beyond have had several apk's left intact to maintain the ability to change the lockscreen shortcuts and style. After you have customized the Lockscreen to your liking you may use a root explorer type app and remove those apk's. Or you can use titanium backup and freeze them so that in the future if you wish to change the lockscreen again you can un-freeze them. Either way you choose to do it, here are the two apk's.

:: DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THESE ROMS ARE:::
These are all senseless roms, Will have versions with and without the Lockscreens eventually. They maintain all the sense programs except for rosie and it's widgets and customization utilities. In terms of launchers, rosie is very large. Just for ease of explaination purposes, here is a comparison *of course ram usage is more important than this, but you will get the point and I can't quote amounts of free ram because of different AMM settings and not having an evo myself anyways*
Synergy RLS1 Original download Size::: 297MB
Synergy RLS1 Senseless ::: 254MB
Synergy RLS1 Senseless NO HTC Lockscreen::: 208MB
So you get to drop 43MB by getting rid of rosie and it's widgets and another 46MB by getting rid of the Lockscreen and all the leftover stuff that can then be removed by having the lockscreen and rosie gone. And remember these include GoLauncher already LOL. You get the point.
It turns out making everything perform smoother and faster, and you get to use whatever launcher you prefer without rosie and garbage running in the background.
HTC versions of SMS, Email, Contacts, Dialer, etc are left there because they really work well together.
:: BUGS ::
None for any of the current roms, please let me know what you find.
::CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!::
All credit goes to the original creators, Aamikam, etc. You can click my ads on the download page for my work, but if you really want to donate to someone, send some cash their way.

Alright lets see what you got. Looking forward to trying it out. BTW, thanks for providing the mirrors earlier.
Great idea I was gonna do this myself but haven't had time...senseless Rom seem to save battery life on gingerbread sense roms. By the way is there a way u can just include the 3.0 message apk also .
Thanks

If you are wanting a Senseless Rom why not just use an Asop or CM Rom? You can still add Go launcher or LPP or ADW launchers and Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widgets. As of now with ASOP with gingerbread 2.3.4 you don't have all the camera or gps issues you have with Sense 3.0. And most sense ports now are using a mix of the older sense's (1.0-2.0 and 2.1).

I also run a "rosieless" sense rom. I don't use the Rosie launcher or the widgets. I DO enjoy all of the Sense applications a lot better than aosp apps. Sense also has a much tighter integration with its different apps, Facebook, etc. The dialer looks up names as you dial, aosp does not do that. The messaging and mail apps are superior than aosp imho. All of the notifications on the lock screen I enjoy more. I can go on and on. Just because you don't use the Rosie launcher doesn't mean its aosp, far from it.

Yes this I know. I have been around long enough with these devices to know that not running the rosie launcher does not make it ASOP. I have run just about every os that is out there. Including using my old TP2 in dual boot mode when they first started doing that.
I have run my Evo with no sense last year, so this is no new concept to most of us. Calkulin made an app last year to remove the sense apps in one shot if you did not want to use all the bloat.

CM mods are great. I prefer it as my choice for AOSP roms, but I would still prefer a senseless rom. The only things I think CM mods have as an edge to sensless roms are the option to unlock your phone without pressing the "ok" button, and better battery life.
Looking forward to this rom. If you manage to keep it sensless but keep the 3.0 lockscreen, that would be pretty impressive!
ASOP roms have gps issues, I did not find a permanent solution for it in any forum.
If you want a 100% working perfect rom you can try Ginger-AleV2 or MikG 0.51, both are Android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1 with latest 2.3.4 gtalk video. I flashed Ginger-AleV2, then got GoLauncherEx from Market (free).
Update:
Permanent GPS solution here:

Camera works better on this rom than on AOSP roms, plus you get 720p recording back. And it runs smooth enough to actually use 720p recording.
There is a noticeable screen smoothness to htc stock kernels that I can't get with any aosp rom. If you use them side by side, even with evodeck's or cyanogen's latest you can see that the HTC builds just look smoother.
and you can really notice this in games. I play a lot of games, not the really high end hard for our phones to play type of games (well a few of them) but even in ****in Chuzzle you notice a huge difference LOL.
Normally with All the Sense **** eating up all the resources the games on HTC builds don't run very well, but when you slim down to an easier to run launcher and everything they run so damn purdy.
GPS is perfect
##codes work
tight program integration like mentioned with stock dialer, facebook, twitter, etc.
Rosieless sense-based I think is the perfect way to go. You get all the performance of AOSP without any of the downsides. Working on fixing everything and getting this up, I fell asleep last night.
The HTC Facebook I accidentally took out and the MMS are going to be back in this one
HTC Facebook rocks. No ****ty facebook program, just contact sync WOOT. haha. I can't stand the facebook program. Full desktop version of the website in Dolphin Browser 5.0b2 HD is the way to go.
So with the next"release" or whatever, will you have the text messaging apk back?
Excited to try this out!

Skydeaner..quick question...if I want to give this a go and I am using Vaelek's latest (been for Month's now) with a2sd already set up...how would I go about flashing this ROM..I used to flash like crazy till Val's ROM and now I do not know what to do (as far as wiping the phone--do I just wipe data, cache and dalvik, or do I have to also wipe ext's) since I am using a2sd..
p.s. I am using AmonRa 2.3...thanks
Yeah, im pretty sure wipe sd-ext is required,but don't take my word for it.
@skydeaner, yeah thanks for the hosting. Thanks for this senseless rom. Probably gonna check it out, just first gonna find screens of what go launcher is like. I usually use adw and LP. Havebt seen go.
At selders59, senseless is a million miles from aosp and cannot be compared.

Curious to try this but would like to when it's been updated with the above. Looks promising, thanks for doing this! XDA rocks......
Cool - I like this, feels like a hybrid. For those who have tried AOSP roms, this looks like AOSP with better features from sense, like the weather widget, notification icons, contacts & phone dialer app, and of course the sense 3.0 lockscreen. I think the contacts and dialer apps in AOSP needs a lot of improvement, just my opinion. Thanks Skydeaner.

Like MIUIXT's Speed but hate the UI, what to do??

as title suggested, I have been enjoying the MIUIXT, it is the most reponsive n stable rom out of all other I have used, including, Dexter 1.3 + bugfix v3, CBW 2.2, wanhu, 2.1 Strikes back
the problem is I hate the Setting Menu, Option Menu, Lock Screen so much, does anyone how have them back to Stock Android ?
or is there other rom has the same Stability and Speed ??
After a lot of testing the only one that has the same speed (if not faster) is eclair strikes back imo. Unfortunately it has stability issues sometimes (freezes fairly often). I'm on it right now.
I've used every ROM including WanHu and Khal WanHu.
v4
you can try khals v4 rom. its good with a little overclocking and also has a LOT of free ram. didnt bother using swap. very responsive for me and very few FCs too. the most stable rom. its as good as, if not better than miui on my phone.
WanHu is just as speedy

I'd agree with that. I find Wanhu's to be very responsive + the FM Radio volume works, the Media key works & magnification during cursor positioning works. Personally the MIUI Lock screen & responsiveness are the only things I really liked about MIUI.
You can change menu in setting to get the android style, use other launcher and custom your lock screen. It will be fine.
But i think you should try Wanhu.
lol, guess I need to move back to froyo: http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-android-market-for-phones-with.html
You know what I find it hilarious? People talk about fragmentation in android a lot, but the only apps/things that are froyo+ exclusive that I want are google ones (new market, music, youtube, gmail). Google is the one who is making everything fragmented for me lol.

Bingo. I couldn't care less about flash. I found the lack of animated .gif more annoying than lack of flash.
Yeah, right after I first installed 2.2 I immediately installed flash because that's what everyone talks about for 2.2. I uninstalled it a few minutes later, wondering what use I have for it on my phone (only slows things down).
Anyways I guess I'm gonna put MIUI on again. WanHu and Khal's ROM are good, but for some reason don't play nice with my fav app SPB shell 3D and MIUI seems a bit faster I think. Just don't like all the IOSy stuff, but what can you do... Bah, I wish someone would get some progress with CM7 already. Wish there was a way to get a bunch of experienced devs to just port it easily lol.
i'm back to MIUI from WanHu, MIUI runs more smooth and faster. My apps run all fine on MIUI.

i also reverted to khals miui final v2 from wanhu.... i think in terms of customization and user interface and feature rich ui... this is the best... hope oyang releases an english rom with latest miui base pack....!

After using miui...

After using miui I can't go back to any other. The features and functionality of this ROM is just beyond what I ever thought would be possible in an android device.
Their slogan is "Redefining Android" and they surely are.
I was on the fence if I should try this ROM or not since Weapon was pretty awesome too , but after trying this one I'm not looking back.
Thanks goes to Whitehawkx, Segnaro, Jface for making this happen.
****Note****: if themes are not working for you is because you need to go to /data/system and create a folder called theme.

Let's post the functionality that this ROM has for those that aren't sure what "we" are talking about.
I will post what I remember and then If you guys remember any other feature post it, then I'll update this post with the feature you posted.
Themes - can be downloaded directly from ROM and apply within the ROM. You can theme things separately like the dialer, status bar, toggles, icons, lock screens, messaging app, etc. You can dip all this with the theme manager engine they use. Ability to change fonts within ROM without restarting phone.
Features -
Dialer - record calls and take notes within the dialer during a call. Two big features I always wanted.
Dialer also works as a T9 keyboard
Browser - scroll up and down with volume rockers (pretty cool), hitting the back button actually goes back, not like other browsers.
Screenshots - by pressing menu+ vol down
Settings - Redesigned setting menu with added features and tabs to categorize each setting menu.
Ability to track data usage
Integrated app killer and app manger by long pressing the home key also by long pressing the back key, closes the app completely.
Lock screen - hold down home button will turn on torch
Toggles - when long pressing a toggle, it will open that toggle setting screen.
Camera - added features like Sutter control, zoom in screen, adjustable brightness on screen, touch to focus and redesigned camera skin.
A whole bunch more that I'm sure I'm forgetting or don't know about.
Keep posting features below!

Dude I totally agree, this rom is just amazing it pretty much uses the same kernel As cm so u know the speed is there, it actually feels a little more fluid. And on any other rom when u go to change the lockscreen or even launcher, u have to do a little , "work" and u have to be a little tech savvy for that part, but with miui they make it so damn easy someone coming from the razor could do it LOL , and there is so much options to choose from, **** sitting on latest kernel source, voodoo, and some badass 3d animations, very cool rom oh and moshe22 when u hit back with the browser it actually goes back a page u don't have to hit it a zillion times, the volume scroll is badass

I used MIUI on my G2 or vibrant, can't quite remember. I liked it a lot, but the battery life was so poor I couldn't stick with it. How is it on our phones? I don't need 15 or 20 hours or anything, but wouldn't mind something decent.
Also, are there different ports of MIUI for our phone? If so, are they all pretty much the same? Thinking I'm gonna give MIUI another shot, but want to use the version available that will leave the best taste in my mouth.

What do you wipe?
The way I do it is: Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, /system and then flash ROM, fix permission and the enjoy

yeah I wipe dalvic cache, cache, system.. multiple times just for safety, but i havnt fixed permisions.. i will search out 1.8.12 and give it a shot
Been running Miui since last August/September, whenever it was ported to Evo. Sans CM its by far the fastest, smoothest, most stable rom out there. I haven't seen any reason to switch since it was released for G2x. I'm still on 1.7.26, and dont feel the need to upgrade. Thats how good Miui is.
On my G1 I was flashing roms every day. Moved to Evo/NS and flashed once or twice a week.
On my G2x? I think I've flashed mayyybe 4 roms since 4/20. Why? Cause anything LG touches turns to poop. No offense to all the bomb devs, but CM/Miui are the only things worth running on this phone. I dont get why anyone even wants to run a stockish build when CM/Miui are so much better in every single aspect.

Latest version is 1.8.12 and is based on CM7 latest nightly so is super stable at least as of today using Whitehawkx version.

Whitehawkx actually specifically requested that it not be linked anywhere other than the forum it's listed in. just google whitehawkx miui and you should find it easily. I'd post the forum name but I don't want any mods here getting pissed off.

Any way to get the page in the browser to open in overview instead of zoomed in.
Also the keyboard closes just randomly... very weird. I love this rom too so far but this issue sucks..
Go to settings> programs> browser settings> Advanced> web page> page zoom setting> far

Another cool feature: press and hold down the home key, app killer and app manager will open for you, press app killer and kills anything running.
Press and hold the back key in an app and closes the app completely instead of running in the background.

ICS style Lock Screen

I came across this on google:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/347592-replacement-ics-style-lockscreen/
Basically it just shows you how you can get an ICS styled Lock Screen for the Sensation! It's great and has been running really well. The article says:
Download:
1. Magic Lockscreen: HERE
2. ICS Style Theme: HERE
How to use/install:
1. Install app, then theme and use app to select the theme. The app will walk you through some steps to show you how to use it, but..
2. Select the Magic Lockscreen as your Home Launcher default. Then the app will ask you which launcher you want to use as your main launcher.
Screenshot:
Attached at bottom of post
I use the Rosie/Sense, and I noticed that doing this the way that the app tells you kept making Sense reset every time I hit the home hey. To fix this, I use Home Switcher (free on marker) and selected "Set as default" for Rosie/Sense launcher which fooled the Magic Lockscreen into staying active when I love my phone, and fixed the issue with Sense. It actually runs very smoothly for me.
Not sure what it's like if you use another launcher if that may have problems with resetting so often either, in which case, try Home Switcher and choose set as default for your launcher.
Works On:
InsertCoin 3.3.x - Working reported by tjd319
CM7 Alpha 9 - Working with slight flash before lock and after unlock reported by dvandit21.
ENERGY (Oct 18 Version) - Working reported by dansharpy

Work on CM7?
Also works perfectly on Energy (18th oct version, not tested on 22nd oct version)
Thanks for the guide, looks awesome, especially in fullscreen mode!!
Thanks for sharing, works great with InsertCoin 3.3.7
Working on Energy Oct 22, but it's noticeably laggy. The built-in ICS lockscreen that certain ROMs like Bulletproof have is much smoother.

Very pretty lockscreen, though I still preffer sense weather's one.
I will definitively use it with MIUI later
Laggy and kinda ugly...
Seems like a very low resolution lockscreen. Anyone else notice this, or is it just me?

I would use the ICS lockscreen if it was FAST and had sharper resolution. It looks neat, but just cannot stand a laggy unlock. Is this what everyone is finding, or should I try reinstalling it?
Matt
i have the same thing like you, weird unlock each time, i think the probleme was the aplication and not instalation

i am using the milocker for a not-root HTC sensation 4G, and is looking awesome...the only thing that i am nitpicking is that there's very little english translation, but well some you win some you lose...

This is the way to go, closest one I've seen and more options than you'll ever need.

Here's what it looked like on my evolution, the first is a stockish look, the second is with simi clock widget. It's a paid app, but well worth the cash.
