My Review of Sensation ROMS - HTC Sensation

A work in progress, this will be updated frequently, these are solely MY opinions, YMMV:
Paranoid Android (JellyBean)
Paranoid is my daily ROM for two reasons. #1 It's running JellyBean #2 It allows me to select for each individual app the DPI resolution I want the app to run at. Setting a low enough DPI will display certain apps in Tablet Mode. This is wonderful for Gmail, after using the tablet interface I never want to go back to using the pre-school-like stock interface that Gmail uses by default for phone. Having my folders in a column on the left hand side is very useful. System settings is also made more useful by lowering the DPI to make it a column divided screen as well. Limited by the Trebuchet launcher, I always install Apex launcher and use it. Setting Apex's homescreen to 10x10 and assigning Apex a DPI of 160 REALLY gives me freedom to use widgets on my desktop, resizing each one as I see fit. Whereas in previous apps I couldn't fit all my widgets on to the same screen I wanted too, now I can. This also makes the APW widget I use for facebook much more useful, as more posts are displayed, and I don't constantly have to scroll. And with the ability to download free themes for CyanogenMod from the Play Store, you have a fairly large selection to choose from in customizing how your Droid looks. If you don't mind smaller text this ROM is going to open up whole new worlds to you.
Cons:
Camera not working (upstream JellyBean issue)
Audio routing, you need to download the "Wireless Headset Routing Fix" app (though with Bruce's latest builds of CM10 that Paranoid pulls from the audio issue has been corrected, I assume this will be a non issue with the next release of Paranoid Android.)
Sometimes the touch interface stops responding, which is quickly fixed by using the power button to shut off the screen, then unlocking it,voila touchscreen works again.
In Tablet mode (statusbar at the bottom) USB Storage doesn't work, you have to reboot into Phablet or Phone mode to transfer files via USB.
EyeCandy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615560
With a fresh install of the 3.1 FINAL release of EyeCandy, my choppy audio issues are gone; replaced by BOOMING audio that blows away the sound quality in any other ROM I've tried. Apex is A LOT faster than SENSE, enough to make me say "I can concede the cool, springy, drag-the-ring unlock screen for the amount of lag Apex reduces". My stress level should go WAY down from this gain of speed. I can set longpress BACK to force kill the current app, and I can configure which style of "recent apps" I want longpress HOME to bring up. Using FancyWidget almost equals the sense weather clock I miss. The added quickness of my droid and the better sound quality are just too good to pass up!
Pros:
Audio! Even without enabling ANYTHING in AwesomeBeats, out-of-the-box-after-a-fresh-install... EyeCandy's audio CURBSTOMPS all of the Beats-based Sense 4.0 ROMs I've tried. (Select the TamCore kernel during install, on my first install the bricked kernel made the audio very choppy in Eye Candy)
The Sense-4 Themed "recent apps" style looks more elegant & visually pleasing than the actual Sense 4 one!
Includes "Simple Mobile" apn by default.
Apps installed in other ROMS are fetched from Google Play Store during setup.
Circuitry themed keyboard
The "turn the TV off" effect you get when turning the screen off.
Awesome, Elegant ALL Around theme, from icons to the animated blue "please wait" wheel
Much faster and more responsive than Sense based ROMs
The dock can be expanded to hold *7* icons!
THE cleanest & nicest looking 4EXT theme I've come across
A few extra I/O schedulers
Cons:
The screen turns itself on and displays the lockscreen for absolutely no reason whatsoever. No notifications are pending, the phone is just sitting idle then all of a sudden the screen repeatedly turns itself on. VERY annoying!
When updating from 3.0 to 3.1, OTA Update was downloaded but I had to manually apply it
Reception (including wifi) is absolutely atrocious. Even after RE-flashing firmware, RIL, and DisH files, /system/build.prop contained NO radio.ril entries! I ended up copy-pasting a few dozen radio.ril entries from the SmartDriod Daemon ROM to compensate.
The battery indicator icon on the status bar makes NO SENSE! How is ANYONE supposed to tell what % the battery is from two concentric circles? It would be like replacing the digital clock with a binary clock. It's confusing, unfriendly, and not very functional. Luckily the stock theme can be changed to a theme with a more sane battery indicator.
Inability to define longpress actions for MENU and SEARCH
Lock Screen - I miss the springy-ness of Sense's lock screen when dragging the ring. Being limited to a horizontal line to unlock is rigid and boring.
ViperS 1.01
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671547
My favorite Sense ROM. A ROM I've gone back to, and used as my main ROM many times.
Pros:
Ability to define longpress actions for MENU, BACK, and SEARCH! Not just HOME like most ROMs provide. A MUST have!
Ability to select which icon to use for items on the status bar individually
OTA updates, I don't have to constantly check the thread for new versions.
Quicksettings. another MUST have feature (a dealbreaker for other ROMs that don't have it)
Venom Tweaks - The sheer number of tweaks for the status bar and Sense far surpass any other ROM out there
Bricked kernel - because Overclocking is fun
AROMA installer - easy to customize cpu/gpu settings during install
Cons:
Status bar icons: They're stock and boring. Installing Jerry93's all-in-one mod made this SLIGHTLY better using glowing blue icons, but visually it is still lacking polish. The icon packs you can install through the venom hub are quite boring as well, single color, 2D and drab. Icons like the ones used in Elegancia 4.0 & Fluffy Blue Sensation would be the perfect addition to this ROM.
Sluggish/Resource Intensive: Even overclocking to 1.728 I still experience lag using the badass governor. Sometimes I have to step that up to "lagfree" or "performance". On each boot Sense takes an inordinately long time to load, I want to use my phone not stare at a screen that says "loading"
No ability during install to specify packages that I DON'T want to have installed by default
I can put up with the sluggishness for the freedom and ability to tweak so many sense/statusbar items with this ROM. Honestly, if they had a decent looking icon pack to choose from I wouldn't bother installing any other ROMs until a JellyBean one gets released.
SmartDroid Daemon
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770522
This looks like a contender to replace ViperS ROM, because of the visually pleasing icons included, and the ability to pick and match several different elegant status bar icons for each item individually (wifi, signal, battery)
Pros:
A Sense 4 Based ROM that focuses on having a ton of Sense and statusbar tweaks, as well as visually pleasing icons.
Signal Strength. This ROM gave me unbelievable signal strength, it plays VERY nice with the 3.33 firmware and the DisH3 flash. It did so well I had to take a peek at /system/build.prop and take note of a few radio.ril entries to use in other roms.
Bug Fixes! Version 1.1 was released less than 48 hours after version 1.0 was released.. My main gripe about the theme-chooser crashing was fixed in the 1.1 release, keep up the good work!
Cons:
The installer. While not using Aroma does make the ROM a smaller download, it makes the ROM seem a lot less elegant/professional when installing.
The all text installer also can lead to confusion with OR choices. For example I installed the RAM tweak, and right after that finished it asked if I would like to install the LIGHT version of RAM tweak. If one install item would conflict with another, when item A is selected item B should then NOT be presented during install. Again I think using Aroma would fix this quite easily.
Framework icons. Mail notifications, play store update notifications, etc. They're still stock white, perhaps in the next incremental update this will be addressed.
The keyboard defaulting to French at each step of setup, regardless of setting the keyboard to English in the previous step.
No longpress settings for MENU and SEARCH. Only HOME and BACK can have longpress actions defined.
The app-installer during setup. It detects apps on my SD card, however unlike the app-install some other ROMs use, this one doesn't detect apps I've previously installed (in other ROMs) and automatically download them from the Play Store as part of setup. (I love the ROMs that do this!)
This ROM felt lighter and faster than ViperS, who may have some serious competition if Daemon adds the ability to define actions for all 4 longpress buttons.
Elegancia 4.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429953
This was the first Sense4.0 ROM for the Sensation to jump out at me because the screenshots I saw had some style. It didn't look like every other stock Sense 4.0 ROM for the Sensation. I had high hopes for Elegancia.
Pros:
Elegancia's IMPRESSIVE boot-up screen! Elegancia wins hands down for the most elegant and eye catching boot up screen.
Installing/Restoring the ROM installs a nice EXT4 Recovery theme, with menus that are EASY to read.
Decent looking blue-based icons which are consistent with other aspects of the ROMs UI theme.
Even the Mail Notification icons and such are blue themed
4ext Recovery Updater installed by default
Cons:
Quicksettings. I like the tabbed QS interface better than having to push the top bar. Also I was disappointed I couldn't change screen brightness right from the QS screen.
Doesn't play nice with Extended quicksettings mod, makes the status bar disappear completely and deliver crash reports frequently.
No Option to connect to the HTC hub to download more skins, only 3 come by default in Elegancia
TWEAKS section:
Disappointing lack of tweaks for statusbar, there are only **2** tweakable options
Simplistic interface for tweaks inconsistent with Elegancia's look. (using the interface for ViperS tweaks would be more apt)
Lack of Sense tweaks, including my must-have of defining ALL 4 longpress button actions.
Fluffy Blue Sensation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598903
The Fluffy Blue one takes icons a step further towards impressive than Elegancia did with a few exceptions. It still lacks the UI tweakability I'm looking for.
Pros:
Ability to remove unwanted packages during install
Autocompletion of .com names during setup
Very cool purple & black themed defualt keyboard
Best icon pack I've seen for ICS/Sense 4.0 (app icons)
Clean, not a lot of "Garbage Apps" inlcuded.
Cons:
Statusbar icons - App store notifications still come through as stock white icons. The Wifi icon isn't as good as the one in Elegancia 4.0 Icons such as CHARGING, GPS and SYNC would look better if they didn't have the "glass" look to them
Tweaks - the "Sense" section only has **2** tweakable items
Same quicksettings issue as Elegancia
RMS Blue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661403&highlight=rms+blue
In order to get this ROM to work, I had to install install version 3.0 then install version 4.0 on top of it. Installing version 4.0 clean would always, without fail, lead to a boot loop.
Pros:
Fantastic looking app icons for the app drawer
Auto-brightness included in quicksettings.
Custom "IceHD" Sense Theme included
Black keyboard with blue letters
Ability to define longpress actions for HOME, BACK, and MENU
IC Tweaks UI
Cons:
I had to install version 3.0 just to get version 4.0 to work.
The statusbar icon for "slient mode" is silver, ugly, and out of place among the blue icons in the status bar.
Certain framework icons are still stock white ("usb connected" "play store updates", etc.)
RMS stands out for it's app drawer icons. If the statusbar and framework icons were just as polished, RMS would be a serious contender to ViperS as well.
Insert Coin Evolution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546731&highlight=insertcoin+evolution
Pros:
Ability to define longpress actions for HOME, BACK, and MENU.
The UI design for the IC Tweaks (based on the P0kemon Tweaks I believe)
Cons:
Lack of statusbar tweaks
Boring stock theme and icons
It's nice that this ROM includes the longpress functionality I'm looking for, though aside from that nothing really sets it apart from other Sense 4.0 ROMs.
DarkForest Sensation XE 6.5.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423684
An interesting mix of Sense 3.6 & 4.0 which focuses on speed and functionality at the expense of UI tweakability and visual aesthetics.
Pros:
Can customize H/4G/LTE text next to signal on status bar
Skins from Sense 3.6 included that were eliminated in Sense 4.0 release.
Cons:
Can't define ANY longpress buttons
The option to display battery % appears NEXT to the battery icon instead of inside it.
Stock icons with no options to change icon sets.
With a name like DarkForest, I expected at the very least this ROM would have an interesting Dark Wallpaper, perhaps even a dark forest theme. Alas, we get stock themes and icons. I'm on the fence with the Sense 3.6 Recent apps functionality instead of the Sense 4.0 one. While the 3.6 vertical scrolling is a lot faster and cleaner, I miss the visually pleasing expo type view form Sense 4.0. DarkForest performs like a souped-up Sense 3.6 install or a stripped-down Sense 4.0 install. It's not what I'm looking for, but anyone who wants a fast, responsive system and doesn't care about eye candy, this ROM might be the one you're looking for.
Sense-O-Maniac
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671145&highlight=sense-o-maniac
Pros:
During install I choose what packages to INSTALL, rather than what packages to REMOVE.
Accounts setup screen contained ONLY services I use
Cons:
Stock look doesn't visually set this ROM apart from other ICS Sense 4.0 ROMs
LeeDroid Tweaks One X v1.0 - which really lets you tweak next to nothing.
HOME is the only button that can be assigned a longpress action.
Only 2-3 tweakable items in Sense and status bar tweaks
This ROM is great for people don't care about visual aesthetics or UI tweaks and just want a lean, clean, bloatware-free ROM. Not My cup of tea, but it might be your's.
MIUI
http://www.miui.com/development.html [select the ROM for HTC Sensation G14/G18]
There's little to say here other than I hate MIUI with a passion. Maybe because it's so different from the Sense experience I'm used to.
Pros:
small ROM size
Cons:
stock kernel - I want to overclock. When I installed the bricked kernel it completely broke wifi in my MIUI install
Themes - because the descriptions are in Chinese I can't tell if I'm downloading a wallpaper, an icon pack, an entire theme, or a call screen. MIUI's themes section is a hot mess.
Interface - It tries real hard to emulate the iPhone interface. I found it to be quite unintuitive and difficult to figure out visually. When I'm saying "oh so that's a TOGGLE BUTTON" after sitting there wondering for 5 minutes what the heck I'm looking at, there's something wrong with your UI design.
Not playing nice with the Bricked kernel was the dealbreaker for me. I tried real hard to like MIUI, but it was nothing but frustration and aggravation every step of the way.
MIUI.us
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726250
I'll re-iterate my previous point. I tried REAL hard to like MIUI. MIUI.us is the English version of MIUI. I thought perhaps my problems with MIUI were because I used the Chinese (main) version, and my frustrations were due to language barrier. I decided to give MIUI another try using the US/English version. Sadly, MIUI.us is as plagued with problems as it's Chinese progenitor.
Pros:
small ROM size
fast and responsive
tons of themes
Cons:
No Google Play Store included by default! And when I flashed the recommended miui.us-gapps package to add the Play store, upon reboot MIUI did nothing but spam me with repeated crash reports before my status bar disappeared all together. FAIL!
No app drawer, at least not one I could find.
The main version of MIUI had it's own (in-house?) version of the play store installed by default (I think, I don't read Chinese and this is what I infer from launching the app). To me MIUI.us made an inexcusable mistake of NOT including some kind of play store by default, be it Google's or their own. Having to FLASH the play store onto the ROM is bad enough, but the fact that the flash causes repeated system crashes is just downright sloppy. MIUI may totally rock if you can read Chinese, otherwise save yourself the frustration and stay FAR FAR away from it!
==============================
Criteria I look for in an Android ROM:
Something that is NOT Sense 3.6 based (i.e. Sense 4, Apex, AOKP, MIUI)
Decent Carrier & Wifi reception
A kernel that allows me to overclock my CPU/GPU
Beats Audio, or compatible with the flashable BassMod. No glitches in audio when changing from app to app while listening to music.
Slick, Polished, Elegant icons for the status bar
The ability to "mix & match" statusbar icons from various downloadable themes
FRAMEWORK status bar icons that are themed & colorful
Ability to define longpress-BACK as "kill current app"
Ability to define longpress-MENU as "launch camera app"
Tabbed QuickSettings that include a brightness control
A fast and responsive system, even when I'm using Live Wallpaper
OTA updates that apply themselves after download
Sense 4.0 style "recent apps"
Ability to change the "H" icon
Ability to change the clock color
Ability to toggle the transparency of the dock and the statusbar
NOT installing a tacky 4EXT theme with text that is almost impossible to read
Intelligent app-installer that downloads previously installed apps at setup

GreatSudoku ...
thanks it is more informative to select the right ROM

[THEME IDEA] Based off of Voice actions

The new google voice actions is really slick looking grey/ steel and functions beautifully
It would be awesome to see the sleek look of this app brought throughout the entire os, it actually brings me to wonder what gingerbread will look like if this is the newest thing from google... perhaps it will take a turn that way!
untill then... i hope someone with the time would take intrest in this ^_^
interesting obversation by the way!
Gingerbread is expected dates are mid- October (around 15 -16th).
So we really don't have long to wait.
Hmm like a Carbon steel theme? I like that Idea too!
Really, the new "voice actions" box looks exactly like the new widget theme Google introduced with Eclair. Nothing new or exciting here, other than that this is the biggest box we've seen with this theme (until now it's been smaller, like the music or news/weather widgets). Would be cool to see them continue to integrate it, though.
Personally, though, I think they should run with the new Froyo look. The semi-transparent background from the new Launcher2 dock, or the keys that appear on the Froyo stock keyboard when you swipe up? Overlay those on top of this widget background. Use that as the background for all the widgets, and the keys on the keyboard, really anything in the OS that is supposed to be dark.
I also wonder if Google will ever exchange the status bar for a dark one, since that's what every custom skin (Sense, Blur, TouchWiz) and almost every theme from XDA does. Seems obvious that's what most people want. (Not me; I prefer it light, but I'm just sayin')

[Theme] Updated 09/16 0.2 Evophone 7 cm6.0 and 09/15 nightly

This thing was inspired by newone757 (Layout thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455) and and his beautiful looking icons and idea. I ended up modifying the elegant steel theme as some of it meshed well with this concept and added some spiffed up the transition animations. This is in it's early stage and needs to be cleaned up some but i'm throwin it out there so hopefully I can get some feed back.

Good app to have for this is Colors and the Author is Tim Clark, you can find it on the market. It basically lets you choose from a variety of solid color wallpapers.
The animations have a little more pop to them if you set the transition speed to slow in spare parts.

Fixed graphic issue in contacts
downsized settings icons
cleaned up notification pulldown
little changes to the market and gmail

Nice stuff
boot loops
This is awesome! Any chance for a sense version?
ded secksy!!
Except for the settings menu icons, they're a little bigg, imo
I've been planning to theme the AOSP dialer but I think I may not need to now. I love the minimal look on that one
Updated a few thing to make it look a lot better see first post for changelog. I also found that this theme runs smooth on 09/15 but not so much when I flash snap kernal 7.6. I am running it perfeclty on 9/14's nightly with snap turbo though.
Wow.. Once I saw the first swipe at this "7" concept, I knew there would be more goodies to follow... Since Elegant Steel is a pretty much grey/black/white theme, i'm seeing a version of this which has all of the large elements to it and page titles, but only in a gradient theme with no color.
Hopefully one of the launcher developers adds this functionality to ADW or LP in a more automated process, as its still somewhat of a hack to get the finished look.
Great work..

Yes you can just get the widget icons from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455
looks nice... will try it out.
Is Snap simply not working on the nightly's past 9/14 then? I believe Spicytuna or Shift said in the Snap thread that the kernel size changed in the stock kernel after that, so that may be the reason.
I'm loving the theme. Is there a way to speed up the market cause search results take forever to pop up also, is there a way to fix the lay over on the search bar? Apart from these issues, wonderful job to all the people who made this possible.
what's the clock and battery widget?

[THEME} Classy Grayscale

Been browsing around here and following the skyraider and all of ID's threads and there was something I felt was missing from both the sense and vanilla roms. I spent a bunch of time on the regular android theming threads, and this is what I have created so far.
It's in no way a fully polished, and easily flashed or MM'd theme (i don't like the idea of using MM)
See the pictures below for what I've gotten to.
What it consists of:
LauncherPro Plus
Apps Organizer
SwitchPro
TAJM
BattStatt
Pure Calendar
Desktop Visualizer
MinimalText icons
LauncherPro icons (from their website)
Zegoe Font
Sweet Chicago skyline background
I used LauncherPro to get a more customizable screen layout and remove the notification bar. I also love that it lets me change the icons for the dock (and the swipe gestures are nice)
Apps Organizer condenses a lot of my used apps, and Apps Organizer lets you pick custom icons as well
I used to use extended controls and SMODA widget but i didnt like SMODA's colors, so i switched to SwitchPro because of its working 3g on/off (a must since I need my battery to last a full day while I'm on campus). You cant clearly make the buttons out on the bottom, but they are nearly invisible until i touch them and they become white. Might not be everyone's liking but I dont need to see them.
Pure Calendar was used since I rely on my calendar and gtasks, and it was transparent which is what I really wanted.
Here's where I could use some help
I would like to be able to change all app icons to grayscale without using MM. I realize this might mean replacing files within apks for programs which wont be entirely possible
I wish the text size for TAJM was customizable, its too small and I would like BattStatt and TAJM to better use the home screen real estate
Package this into something more people can use/ customize without having to download all of the apps seperately or even use the apps (flashable?)
Still need a new lock screen. I liked the rotary one but I dont think that will look as nice since it uses a gray transparent bg. If it could be fully transparent, just leaving the two buttons, and the music controls either be light gray for off and white for on, that would be awesome.
I'm open to ideas and criticisms, just spent a few hours this weekend trying to gather all I needed but if someone knows a better way I'd love to know.
If there is any interest in this, I could package up the icons and fonts (sorry can't do the apks since most are paid apps). Just need to collect the info for the creators so credit can be given.

Why'd he take away the animations

MacnutR14 is great. Beautiful Sharp, super fast even though it only gets a 989 score from QS. Fixed the gps added colored icons to the notification bar downloads, messages, gmail, market. On macnutR13 the phone wouldn't work through the speakers in the car he fixed that works perfectly now. changed the dialpad to black nice but I don't think it sharp enough. Gave it the gb keyboard I prefer macnutR13's better keys are bigger. Gave it phone & web icons to match the app drawer icon, It's faster smoother sharper but why did he take away the mac snow leopard style animations. Besides the bounce in menu options the opening & closing effects set it apart without them I'm ready to go back to macnutR13 give up all the fixes just 4 the animations

Themed, redesigned and powered by DK!
"It’s a very fast little ROM, very well laid out, very pretty, and responsive. It’s kind of hard to run though because it’s just so nice to look at." - Paul E. King
(First ROM review for the DK series courtesy of Paul from GoodandEvo!)
- Enter Enlightenment -
After the excessive prettiness that was Reincarnation, DK decided to go back to the drawing board...again. What more could he do that could be done on a Sense 1.0 rom while still keeping things fresh? How about incorporating some Jellybean elements into the Sense 1 framework for starters? Influenced by the minimalism of the Holo design. The idea of adding Holo progress bars, Jellybean notifications and using Jellybean animations were born. I've been flirting and falling in love with ICS/JellyBean so why not emulate the look and feel?!
The next idea was to trim the excess fat off the Rom. The easiest thing would be to strip away the Sense elements but that would be kind of senseless and boring. The solution was to tone down the Sense 4 look and use of transparencies in favor again of the Holo design. By going with mono, darker, and flatter textures, png sizes have been greatly reduced. Also combined with the use of other techniques, I have trimmed the system files by 100mb from the last version. The Rom sizes kept going up with each new release until V8 finally went over the 200mb mark. I wasn't going to let that trend continue on V9. Clocking in at a lean 165mb zip, its by far the lightest version I've ever made! Ram and performance is much more efficient now. 'Balance' has been the key theme throughout the making of V9
As much as I've been heaping praises on Jellybean, the final phase of development was to take another look at Sense and give some of its identity back. Inspired by the look of the latest Sense trends, the idea of turning the stock clock into a 3x2 widget and adding Sense 5 icons were introduced. I have traveled far and wide through the Sense landscape, from the HTC One to HTC Butterfly, even to the EVO LTE for inspiration. To mix all these visual elements together, while focusing more this time on the performance side of things has been the greatest task. It has definitely been an "enlightening" experience making V9.
The series has come full circle. Enjoy the journey.​

☯About DIGITALKARMA ROM☯
A seamless SENSE-ual stock-like experience. From the moment you first boot up, the beauty of DigitalKarma ROM lies in its simplicity. As they say the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.

Here you'll find one of the most creative custom Sense ROMS you've ever layed your eyes upon for the Evo 4G.

- support for 30+ languages(french, italian, japanese, korean, chinese, vietnamese, german etc.) through most of the OS. shouldn't have to use an app like MoreLocale anymore unless there is a language i'm missing or didn't feel compelled to include in my rom.

HAVE FUN ENJOY!​​
Any screen shots? Also anything not working?
4g, wi-fi, bluetooth all work, camera should work
i'd say the only thing that FC's is dialing *2 to Sprint.. i deleted the SprintZone.apk
other than that it should be pretty reliable. and i will post screenies soon or i was thinking a Screencast video. but it looks pretty much stock-like.

great!! let me know if it works for you. i don't have any testers besides myself, lol. so far so good.
I wouldn't mind helping a new ROM maker get his start.
Can I use extended quick settings with this?
Is there a lock screen ring where I can access 4 apps quickly?

i have none of those features yet but these will be added to my "things to work on" list for the future which means... i've got alot of work to do..
if you got a modded zip that can flash quick settings or sense 3.0 lockring on a stock Sense 1.0, 4.67 odex rom feel free to do so. but the goal is to keep this rom simple and stock sorta like a Sprint Lover's type rom.
perhaps when i add those features you mention in, it will be an entirely new rom.
alright i added a video of the ROM in action to the OP if anyone is on the fence or is just curious.. it's just a quick 4 min. run-down and yes i even screen recorded the bootanimation too.. just a quirky way of presenting things cuz i havent seen any people done that yet with ScreenRecorder...
Great ROM, good first start. Just a few things:
1. Download was slow as heck (use dev-host or goo-inside me etc.)
2. Doesn't make me a sandwich.
3. Keep voice search and live wallpapers.
4. Won't make EVO dual core S4 w/ 1GB of RAM
Other than those (major) issues, great work man. Been looking to go back to stock from deck's ICS, because I apparently, actually need a daily driver to get stuff done. Good work
EDIT: "Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.4
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages. Installation aborted."
Uh-oh.

thanks man! apapreciate the feedback and i agree i kinda wanted to get away from the sense 3.0/3.5, ICS roms for a bit and go back to the roots.
Um, it kind of won't flash, lol. Look at my updated post. LOOKS great. Won't flash though . I've always had a soft spot for the stock experience, as it always seems to me the most functional and fluid of anything I've tried. Of course, plenty of tweaks, themes and optimizations thanks to superuser abilities always help

Are you on clockwork mod recovery? You can switch to amon ra 2.3.

sorry about the inconvenience buddy! when i zipped up the rom i didn't use an updater-script or edify script which i believe is compatible with CWM. i never have used CWM. i've heard more cons about CWM than there are pros with AmonRa. it's just a more reliable Recovery so i stuck with AMonRa ever since i rooted....but yeah what Volk said.
When did fileserve come back,nice deving by the way,hope to see more from you.

Custom kernel (I'd suggest lionfish, what I always use. Use with permission).
GPU UI Rendering
Get me leftover pizza and soda from the fridge (dead serious).
Otherwise, it's actually really smooth, and runs great. Awesome job.
EDIT: Yeah, I flashed Amon RA. The only reason I don't use it is because it doesn't support the capacitive buttons, and my power and volume buttons are getting worn down from all the recovery booting/flashing lol.
