Sense roms

I know this has probably been asked plenty of times, but I'm bored of cyanogenmod (again) and wanted people's opinions on the best as we seem to be getting a lot of official support now. Which sense rom is your favourite and reasons why please?
I've had my fun with ICS and am now waiting for a stable release so no ICS recommendations for ICS please.

Choice of ROM is a very personal thing but at the moment I am using Endymion v3 and am extremely happy with it. It just seems to work, and I use it heavily for work - Bluetooth, Wireless, Calls, SMS, Camera, GPS etc

I've seen Endymion as the best choice and I would've switched back to it but the list has grown since I flashed Endymion which is why I wanted to know which people prefer now.

I'm Endymion V3 and just wouldn't consider anything else to be honest .The help and support lowveld gives is amazing

i also use endymion v3 if i had the delight to use sense

I use Endymion 2.2 with the fixes from 3.0. I only like the stock look, so don't feel the need to theme and lose 200+mb.
It's all personal preference!

+1 to endymion v3 here too!! great sense 3.5 rom, excellent battery life and awesome tweaks!
The only gripe I have is the the sense 3.5 dockbar, I find it ugly and somewhat blown up, especially with the text (applications, personalization)
kept changing between the two-button bliss bar and stock 3.5 bar and couldn't settle on either
hope someone would make a sense 3.0 /2.1 dockbar mod for it!!

Is there a way to sense 3.5 rom has a normal font for the screen of our Desire S? Small fonts is something that annoys me a lot, and see how Rhyme rom only has something like that, but it seems that unfortunately proxuser left development of the Rom :/

However when I went to use a Desire S in the store again, 2.1 sense, the icons and fonts were massive!! I was like wow!!

Even the current beta don't have them anymore, you use the hardware buttons like on gingerbread (with some additional features).
Ics rocks, there are for sure some bugs and features left that should be added/fixed, but the beta is already my daily.

i know it's an early build still, but i seem to like it less every time i install it. Maybe a stable build will change my mind, who knows...

I like it. Would be my daily except I rely on wifi hotspot and USB tethering. When both work I can use as daily driver

Would like ICS with Sense
I happen to really like the Sense interface. Having tried SuperKid's ICS beta4, I can say there are a lot of things that I like, but I would rather have a Sense ROM based on ICS.
Back to the GREAT Endymion v3.0 for now...

me too I was using ICS Beta for 2 days, and I noticed headphone didn't work in beta4r1 when I played music while I was waiting for the bus at station. but Play/next/previous buttons on the headphone works perfectly except for the sound playing from phone set.
Then I installed Endymion V3.0 in the bus But I really like the UserInterface of ICS , many features are still not working.. But I'll switch to ICS again when Headphone /mic is fixed..

That's nice ,realy ,i love ICS interface . Have problem but is best rom for ever . Thanks superkid .

Some Good news, fixed more multitasking issues....

Good news is that after spending over a week or so digging into the framework to see what changes HTC did, I managed to undo some of the mods that HTC did, like kill(hibernate) the previous app after x mins, so now multitasking works for the most part like it should. I just now need to free up some more memory to able to run more apps simultaneously even tho I'm running the bare minimum for memfree settings

Goooooood wooooork

Sense 4.1?

I did the OTA update to 4.04, but noticed that I'm still on Sense 4.0. I've seen on the news that Sense 4.1 is out. Is there something I'm missing?

Its only available for the international/tegra 3 one x. If you want it on the ATT verison, you would have to root and flash a port of it. (which you cant BTW since you updated to 4.0.4)

Thank you Do you think it will come to the AT&T version? I have been tempted to root this phone, because I was pretty active in ROMs on the Samsung Captivate, but I opted to wait for the JB update to see how the OTA runs. And I'm sure AT&T's 4.04 will be rooted in the future.

4.1 is also on 2.29 that was just released to o2 users in Germany.

There is nothing wrong with ports as long as the developer knows how to properly port it. My ports are 100% flawless and working fine, Since no one wants to post the 2.29 RUU for any developers we have to port from other public RUU's or system dumps.

Here is the complete changelog based on observations http://phandroid.com/2012/08/05/sen...to-blaze-through-quadrant-scores-nearly-6000/. Listing it down here for lazy users like me
Live wallpaper lag has been fixed
There’s a dedicated button in the Camera app to switch between Front/Backward facing cameras. (earlier you’d have to go into the menu for that.)
A dedicated button to switch tabs in the browser. (You’d have to go into the menu for that, too)
Complete removal of all 3D-Effects in the launcher leading to a completely lag-free experience.
Probably the most important- Rebased on Android 4.0.4
Added ability to remap the recent apps button/ Long-press recent apps/ Long-press Home as Menu. (yes, it removes the Virtual menu bar) under Settings->Display, Gestures and Buttons
New, blazing fast kernel. We mean it. It scored a pretty impressive 59oo+ in Quadrant benchmark (compared to 5100+ on Sense 4)
Wifi-dropping/ Icon showing weak signal Fixes.
Better Battery life- 5 Hour+ Screen-on time as compared to a measly 3 Hour+ on Sense 4.

Even without the sense 4.1 update. The 4.0.4 update has a few of those upgrades (remaping)
I have also noticed the battery life and speed are noticeably better with just the 4.0.4. It's a whole new phone.

Yea, it's just tweaked and less obvious. Helps improve rosie scrolling speed etc.

Thanx for that info shank!!!
Unfortunately, as a noob I upgraded my AT&T 1X to 4.0.4
Typically how long does a root take to appear for most updates!?
Do you think the root for 4.0.4 will be held back because JB is so close!?

Root is available as soon as an exploit is found, if and when an official jb release is given it will then be a whole new issue for root as more than likely the exploit is patched or would no longer work due to firmware changes etc, it seems there must be an independent root method for each build. no universal deal unless HTC overlooks the exploit being used which 99.9% of the time they don't.

This is a quote from another post but pretty much sums it up
"From all I've gathered through this community, Rosie is like a theme on steroids - HTC uses it as a key piece of branding across nearly all their devices. In addition to being the main user interface in terms of widgets, buttons, launcher, etc it also includes an number of hooks and tweaks into core Android itself designed to make the experience more friendly for non-geek users (no insult implied!)."

[Q] Jelly Bean ROM's for Inspire 4G/Desire

After giving it some time for Jelly Bean to hit developers, I've seen 2 versions of Jelly Bean that work on the Inspire, both of which are variants of JellyTime. There is a CM10 version out there, but the Inspire/Desire is not on their supported list and after installing it I can't get it to boot past the splash screen.
Has anyone seen any other JB ROM's out there? I've seen Randomblame's and Synergy's and I must say both are noticeably faster, faster internet, faster APP install, and improved efficiency overall.

Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks!
Thread moved.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Those are the two. Since nothing official will be hitting any similar devices it probably won't be a big collection of roms like gb and ics. I bet someday we will see a port of a jelly/sense combo but it will probably be missing stuff so it is actually usable. Our devices are becoming dated compared to jelly bean devices. It's like running windows 7 on an old Athlon. I know I am looking forward to upgrading. My inspire has been a great device, but most of the really great devs have upgraded and moved on, and I can't wait til I can do the same. I've only got 11 more months lol. Keylime(or whatever the k version will be called) will probably be out by then.

My apologies, thanks for moving it. I am new to this.

I've been using randomBlame's jelly bean nightlies for some time now. It is nearly perfect but the one major flaw made me revert back to ice cold sandwich: the screen blacks out when the first sound is initiated after sleep. It's actually a problem with cm10 and it interferes with calls. When that is fixed it will be my new os.

I just flash this rom (below) yesterday night and i must say thsi is the best one I've flashed in awhile.
its fast its good on battery life and the design is Crack lol. only problem i have is the camera function
dont like that i have to snap a shot just to calibrate it. and the Apollo music app, installing a different theme it doesnt seem to work.

A workaround for camera focus is to hold button and then slide finger off it sideways. It will focus without taking a picture. Works for me.

Thank you :good:

I'm currently using JellyTime R13 and I haven't run on any issues. Great battery life, very fast and the camera bug stated earlier in this post is fixed. Only thing not working is the headset controls, but for me that's not a big deal. I use it as my daily driver. I haven't used the other one but I think it should be very similar to JellyTime since both are unofficial CM Nightlies.

Still has backlight issues I think. Biggest deal killer for me is not supporting all wifi channels...
