It has a newer skin of Sense that allows you to download different "skins" for the launcher and some other UI aspects. It's rather nifty.

The Stock incredible has HTC Sense v2.0
The Z Roms use HTC Sense v2.1
In HTC Sense v2.1 you get better contact integration and added support for picasa & linkedin. The browser is also retooled along with being ability to skin sense as the previous poster pointed out. There are more options that I'm forgetting but if you haven't tried a Z rom out I would suggest it, it makes the stock version feel a bit long in the tooth.

The simple and sweet answer to your question is that it's a ROM based on a port from the HTC Desire Z.

Try any of them Super, Uber, Warm they are all good.

Thank u all now I know

Only problem with that is that it hasn't been updated for a long time with all of the fixes. I for one would love to see a stock sense 2.0 ROM. As I like the stock HTC theme. One reason I love the Incredible S port. It's not 100% functional yet, but it hasn't been modified like crazy.
It wouldn't be so bad if we could reinstall the HTC Skin, but the ROM's themes are always based on it. So you can change the skin to others, but not the stock HTC one.

Well, seems like I've been way too much in the off topic section...
Mods are free to delete this, but until then, people are free to vote
For me Sense
perhaps it would've made sense to include a poll (see what I did there..?) but for what it's worth, I prefer AOSP

I agree with this, Sense rules
AOSP for me. I prefer the speed.
Sense for now; when android 2.4 come out, probably AOSP
Haven't been using custom roms for long but so far I'd definately vote for Sense.
Definitely AOSP, far more faster and cleaner UI.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
AOSP fo' sho'!
Sense lasted about a week for me until it lost it's sheen. It's quite slow and bloated compared to other ROMs I've tried.
Sense is king of the hill here. Too much awesomeness under the hood to let it slide. It ain't all in the widgets and bling u know.
AOSP for me just bcoz of speed and clean interface....
For those voting sense and never tried AOSP their vote doesnt matter.
Question would be how many of them came back to sense after AOSP? That will be interesting. If you never tried both world its useless voting.
Hm yes where are the poll buttons I think there's a few threads like this gone by over the months - but Sense for me too

I have never got pissed and twitching to install aosp if I was using Sense due to the lack of some feature I needed at that moment, but did vice versa. So the real question is how you live with that lack of feature? Similar speed when using alternative launchers and lower battery efficiency seem like a tough tradeoff here.

Sorry If I might have sound like im against sense. Im not against it. Its about personal choice.
My only point was if you only tested sense you can not say sense is best.
For me I found AOSP better in terms of battery and I cant find any lack of feature compare to sense.. Can you mention any particular.
(I have used leedroid and insertcoin in sense and oxygen gingervillian and miui-xj in AOSP)
I prefer a clean AOSP!
BUT its more complicated to keep up to date and its not homogeneous!
So i stick to sense at the moment!

Stock 2.3 with Sense 3.0 question

Hi guys, I'm really sorry to post this but I can't seem to find an answer on here already... And its probably a stupid question too.
Does anyone have a way of just updating to sense 3.0 without installing an entirely new ROM or is it deeply woven into it?
I used to install WM roms back in the day but I'm only just getting to grips with Android... Although I have to say its already put a massive smile on my face.
If installing a new 2.3 Rom with sense 3.0 is the only way forward could anyone recommend some good ones?, which have people found to be the most stable and with the least bugs?, I'm really looking for the closest thing to the Desire HD stock Rom that I can find.
Thanks guys.

Come on dude, just search the forum. If you want the whole Sense 3.0 experience you must flash a new rom.
Or else you can flash some Sense 3.0 components from here.
PS. Wrong section. You should post in Q&A.

Thanks for posting the link to Sense extras but I might have to go down the full ROM route, as for the ROM choices, I just thought I'd try and use the experience of some more knowledgeable users as to the closest ROM to the stock as I was UNABLE to find any definitive answers.
Thanks anyway.

Personally I found i00's sense 3 Rom to be more stable with less fc's.
You're posting a question in the development forum [bad practice btw]; do you expect us not to recommend you flash a full rom?
Most sense roms are now including parts of Sense 3.0 in their build.

I use LeeDroid 3.0.3 as a base, it has an add-on what contains weather, lockscreen and message app, and you can use MDJ's camera add-on, and than you'll have most of the new stuff and a faaast, stable ROM

Am I to understand it then that many of the current ROM's with Sense 3.0 aren't full ports?, if that is right what things are likely to be missing?, I'm basically after the closest experience to the new HTC Sensation.

[Q] Where is Sense 2.1?

I have searched all over the internet to find a strictly sense 2.1 ROM for my beloved EVO. There are none. There is of course MikG 2.1+3.0 ROM, but I am looking for just sense 2.1. How hard is it really to port it over to the EVO? If it's easy, I can just figure out how myself I suppose. I don't want to use the 3D of Sense 3.0 and 3.5, I would simply like to see just one ROM out there for the EVO with Sense 2.1. Thanks to all who have positive input.
Check out warmZ twopointtwo. Make sure you not looking at the regular one

I would like it because the EVO, or at least my EVO was not meant to run sense 3.0 or up. It just becomes slow no matter what I do. Sense 2.1 is what I've had the best luck with. I would not put windows 2000 on my i3 Lenovo ThinkCenter, but I would not try to put Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite dinosaur laptop. The Evo is a very capable device, but for my needs in a phone, sense 3.5 doesn't cut it.

I thought that those were, particularly the Sprint Lovers and the ones that say that they were based on stock, as the EVO 4G is not running Sense 3.0 on stock. I didn't see any hybrids when I searched. I did a search for stock roms only. They are running Gingerbread, but so was my EVO before I rooted it. This one is called "Swagged Out Stock". Again, it's Gingerbread, but I believe that it still uses Sense 2.1
The best 2.1 ROM is Koni Elite III

isn't KONI ELITES ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941055) a 2.1?
I think he is looking for a Gingerbread Sense 2.1 port. Koni, while a great ROM, is not that.
OP, I remember a stock port of the EVO Shift by Leoisright. It hasn't been updated, but is straight 2.1.
I don't know why MikG won't work on your phone as I have mine smooth, but look up Leo's port
Edit: Just noticed that the final version was a merge with some Sense 3.0 features. Salvage-Sense is straight Sense 2.1, so hopefully it will work for you.

I don't have the link since I'm on my phone, but the only Rom I remember that was Android v2.3 with Sense v2.1 (without any Sense 3.0 stuff) was made by the Salvagemod guys. Search for that one.
Edit:
Here's the one I meant, "salvage sense":

I have MikG right now and it does run very smoothly, I am mostly just wondering why there is no regular sense 2.1 ROM. Why all the modifications? I like MikG I am running 2.53 right now because I like having recent apps in the pulldown bar and 3.0 doesn't have it.

Does 2.1 have landscape rosie?

I don't think that Rom does... I'd say just flash MikG v3 -- it's super fast and stable, and in the themes and mods section over at themikmik.com there is a landscape rosie. I think MikG is faster than the pure sense2.1 roms, really, and it is still consistently supported.
The only sense Rom I find faster is Tommy's Evo Classic (and even though it's only sense1.0, he's added some awesome stuff to it).

The only possible result from the many open-ended "which is the best" threads like this is that several people name several ROMs that they personally enjoy. "Best" means different things to different people; for example, I personally don't use the camera much, but for some people a flawlessly working camera is a must-have. You might as well just try them out for yourself.

Yep, just like any other ROM. Download; Nandroid backup; app backup if you want (Titanium Backup or something similar); wipe /system, /data, and /cache; flash ROM.
for stock gingerbread "Android Revolution HD" smooth, fast, great battery life, zero bugs...
for ICS: "Sabsa Prime", "Trick Droid", "Blackout", "Sabsa Bliss".
Sense 3.6: I liked Pachas rom very much and used it for a long time. Even tough the touch response has some issues I was pretty amazed by its speed and smoothness. In general I'm quite fond of Sense 3.6 because it's a nice combination of the advantages its predecessor and successor hold.
Sense 4.0: After I've decided to get some Sense 4 into my everyday use, I must say that (attention, laaaame pun incoming) Trickdroid really does the trick for me. The rom's main functionalities work quite well (I started testing Trickdroid with v3, so no judgement on prior versions) and the tweak package is adequate to customize the small things in one's own taste. The only issue I've still got is that I don't how to access the newly integrated Fallout Tweaks (I checked and installed them in the aroma installer) to get seven instead of five homescreens.
For me, the both Sabsa (prime and bliss) are the best. Sabsa Bliss for sense 3.6 roms and Sabsa Prime for sense 4 roms.
