This poll/guide is intended to be more comprehensive than other "which ROM is best".
This could be a place where you post what you like about your ROM (devs as well), and what features help to differentiate it from the pack.
So, which ROM do you use?
(Edit: Gauging interest via reply/view count has been made harder because some ROMs have come from Honeycomb edited threads, instead of completely new threads (for their 4.0 based brethren)...which, i might add, it makes sense to do sometimes.)
Is there a way to edit a poll? If not, sorry for the ARHD ICS Typo.

I'm pretty new to the whole rooting scene. I currently have ClearDroid ROM. I definitely like it. Fast and all.
But. I've also used a few 2.3.3 Gingerbread + Sense ROM's and I also like the whole quick settings in the notification area and all the neat other stuff that 2.2 didn't offer.
My big $1,000,000 question is... Is it possible to keep ClearD's ROM but still import the 2.3.3 functions in such as the quick settings and lock screen and stuff like that. Or if there is something like that already available. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Cyanide
If that rom is sense based your best bet is to wait or contact the developer to see if he can make the 2.3.3 GB jump.
If it is not sense based or it is AOSP then those features cannot be added since they rely on the sense framework
Not quite sure if I was clear on my OP.
I was wanting to keep some 2.2 features, but add a few 2.3 features like the 2.3 lockscreen, quick settings and a few other things.
But I'll keep looking around.
I'm not familiar with doing changes in the system like that so i cannot tell if it requires the whole system or just some files replacements that will not create any conflicts.
If your looking for the lockscreen search in this forums there are few alternatives and maybe easy to do for example this one:

Hey, This is my first thread, so apologies if this isn't in the right place. What I'd like to know is if the first notification menu in this (link below) thread can be ported to a stock sense 3.5 GB ROM (rooted of course)? I really like the look of it, and the "x" button for idividual notifications is a great addition, as well as the extra settings shortcuts. If it can't be ported, that's ok, but is there somewhere on these boards for something similar for my ROM?
Much appreciated!

This thread should be posted in Q&A but to answer your question have a look at this thread. It is RCMix 3d rom and has exactly what you are looking for all ready in the rcmix tweaks in settings.
I use this rom and it is awsome. Has some other very nice features as well!
I would love to offer any help I can to make this mod a reality. So far, I have gathered the following links that will surely be helpful in making this mod.
There are many users on the different individual rom threads, especially in senseless and aosp/cm9 roms, who are requesting to install HTC_IME (Touch Input), as it is the best input option around for some languages. I can attest firsthand to the fact that the Chinese handwriting input is by far the best handwriting input available for android (HTC is a Taiwanese company), so please don't suggest that everyone who wants htc_ime just go and download some other keyboard. They really did a good job with it, and people want to use it on AOSP!
The work done so far:
Jonas made the mod for gingerbread and devices with lower resolution screens. There is a lot of information about it here and links to downloads. It works on non-htc android devices.

Original HTC_IME mod thread by jonas. The last page or so of the thread is full of posts of people saying please make this mod for ICS/qhd. So far, no one has done it...

This is a HTC_CIME mod for qvga screens. You can see in the screens that it works on MIUI and with multi-language support. This seems like a very good lead, as it may possibly work on our device if scaled up!

A way to get touch input back into virtuous inqusition rom:

And finally, from our very own device theme forum, there is of course the package done by MichaelM. I think this is going to be our best shot at getting this working in aosp roms. I triead flashing the file "with libs" (should include multi-lang) on Vorbeth's rom, but it just continuously FCs with u select touch input (but touch input does show up!).

As I said, I am willing to learn as much as I need to to help make this mod, I just need someone with a bit more experience than me to offer some help! Can someone please give even a brief overview of how to do this. Do we need to run logcats to find out lib dependencies? I'm sure the whole process can't be all that difficult (well, one can hope!).
Thank you in advance, sensation community!
p.s. if I forgot to give credit to anyone else who has done work on htc_ime mod please forgive me. Post the info in this thread if you find it so we can get this going!
2 things, 1, I would love to see this mod happen, I've gotten used to the ics keyboard but would still love the HTC one. 2, if possible, the latest HTC_IME keyboard would be best in my opinion because I love the swipe gestures that you can turn on and off without actually using the Swype keyboard because the Swype keyboard isn't something I am entirely fond of anymore

latest is usually best! sounds good to me.
I would love to see that... I am starting to like CM9, but the keyboard just isn't good enough no matter which one I try... I will try gimpsta.com to create one and hopefully will have it working
good luck to you, sir!
BUMP! I really wanna see this happen too! But maybe we are looking at it from the wrong angle? I'm no dev, not in the slightest, but the HTC_IME that comes on the stock sensation is already qHD formatted. Would it be possible/easier to port jonasl's mods to the newer HTC_IME rather than trying to scale up the old one and fix it to run on ICS?

a MOD for HTC IME on QHD resolution is out.
Now all we need to do is to put CIME back to it.
Hi all,
I'd rather post this to the specific thread for the ROM I'm using, but alas despite being registered for years I can't post due to having never actually needed to before.
The general question is: Short of using a theme pack (for the theme engine used by CM9 etc.), is there a way to change the text/background colours?
More specifically (and there are others waiting for an answer on this over at the ROM thread (FOXHOUND 0.2 Cyano+AOKP), is there just a stock ICS/Nexus theme available?
There is supposedly a "white" theme included in the ROM, but alas it doesn't work (and I can't post in the thread to follow it up *sigh*) and the GApps has been made all black in the default theme and frankly I find it unattractive and painful on my eyes.
Google returns nothing for my queries, as does XDA.
Can anyone help with this?
And if you can, perhaps you could post a solution to the thread for me.

"Most" of the default skin you can find in <Fusion.apk>
the rest is "global", scatered between native android`s, HTC frameworks,
and additional resources ,...
..in sense4.1, apps-very often have their own resources...
others, partly rely on frameworks , and the rest could be found
within themselves,...
When the rom needs to have a really custom look,
you`d need to touch practically most of its graphical aspects,
as the sense interface, goes deeper wider and more complex,
from version to version....
...when we speak of modding <rosie>, there are so many tutorials to be found here,
that there is absolutely no need to write one more,
all you need to do is search...
There are also many great tools to be found on XDA,
that make live of a themer/moder much easier, like:
- VirtuousTenStudio
- IconSetBuilder
- UniversalThemePorter
- ApkChanger
- ApkTool
Etc....
There is probably no one to be found here,
able to provide you with instruction on modding default HtcSkin to your liking,
as no one realy knows what you`re planning to do with it,
or what changes that skin is supposed to carry after,
but if you like to read, there is a lot of useful info,
answering most- if not all questions of an open mind....
Success:good:
