I have flashed my fair share of roms from Sense to Sense(less), Foyo to Gingerbread the list goes on. One thing I have noticed is that they all seem to have a similar appearance. I have yet to see a Rom that is unique in appearance. Does anyone know of any Roms that give a truly unique look, something new and different?
MIUI is the most unique android rom, it's like a iphone android hybrid.
I agree. I always come back to Miui. They update the rom on every Friday, and as of late it has been incredibly stable. Every so often I'll switch to a Sense rom, but within a week I'm back to Miui.
Acer Liquid. Definitely.

Wrong lol I have to disagree and say the new liquid ui is the most unique Rom..its totally different

I found that Rom to be... I don't know, frustrating? Issues with the lockscreen, the multiple music players... I think Miui is much more solid, and the built in features are unmatched.
I would have to say that both MIUI are completly in there own. Both based off AOSP (incase you are wanting to try different kernels) But I preferred LiquidMetal. I am not a fan of the iphone. Although the options in MIUI were a lot better as far as customization. I only used each for a short time and am currently on gingersense remix (b2) (attempting to download b3 as I type. This one is nice but looking more like a sense rom with some of the new sense 3.0 stuff on it.
I say give both MIUI and liquid metal a go and see what you think.

How is that one running for you? I tried both 3.0 roms and got sick of the rosie loops.

I love Miui, I really do but it doesn't like my Incredible. It's starting to get better and more functional with the latest updates but still laggy. I have never tried nor heard of LiquidMetal. I will have to look into that one.
I am curious about the 3.0 Roms that are coming out. I'm timid to try them out right now though, I fear that since they are not "stable", I will grow a resilience to them.
MIUI gets my vote. The early versions were too much of an iPhone clone for my tastes but have since gone back to it on recent versions.
However, I'm not crazy about the way they did the launcher being iPhone-esque by keeping all apps on the desktop, I prefer having an app drawer. So I run it with the Go Launcher.
MIUI's theming engine is incredibly easy to create themes on your own, and there is a huge collection of themes online, although I like a good sleek dark theme.
It has been incredibly stable for me, and I've really gotten to like their styles of pop up dialogs and menus.
I have tried all of the 3.0 and 2.1/3.0 ROM's. I can tell you that after a few reboots and soft reboots, they will calm down, and you will enjoy them.
With that said, GingerSense ReMix by wdfowty is the best right out of the box. No loops at all, I assume because it is from a 2.1 base with 3.0 goodies added in.
Try them!

So, whats the verdict?
I have a Samsung Fascinate, but a friend of mine just rooted his Dinc. I've glanced around these forums, seen a little, but your theme section is a bit cluttered... what are the popular ROMs and Themes for this phone?

As for ROMs, I recommend the "Uber" series of ROMs, as well as CM7 or MIUI. Of course, just because I'm partial to the Uber ROMs doesn't mean there aren't other ROMs out there, look around until your friend finds one he likes
Is Uber around stock? (Fasc has Touchwiz and superclean; what is it for you, Sense?) I know of CM7, and he would reeeeeally hate MIUI.
Uber Gingersense 2.1/3.0 is around stock, but with improvements. some issues due to beta stages but coming along nicely. Sense is stock for us, yes

It all depends and what he is looking for there are froyo, Z Roms stable roms and Gingerbread/ Sense 3.0 roms that are still in beta and some apps like maps and youtube dont work...
I personally would recommend you this roms..

As far as debloated stock rom goes. We have a great one by jaykresge
Liberation
It has some mods, but I haven't seen any recent themes for Sense 1.0 that ships with the Inc.
Aside from CM7 (I'm jealous on how well yours works, btw), what's your most themed ROM? Just to give him colorful options.

As far as sense ROM's go, any of the new ROM's based on Sense 2.1 should be able to use skins. I've used these on some of the new gingersense roms with 2.1/3.0 hybrids. Works just fine.
Skins for HTC Sense 2.1 roms
Whoa, you guys can run skins? Whaaaaat? That's awesome!

TBH, I think MIUI with LauncherPro or GO Launcher EX (both free in the Market, LauncherPro Plus is I think $5) is the most skinnable. There are LOADS of MIUI themes, and it can use all the AOSP kernels and it's rock solid stable to boot
my personal favorites
Froyo Roms:
Redemptive rEVOlution
Incredibly Re-Engineered
also liking the new Nils Business GingerSense...pretty stable for me so far.
Looking forward to the doubleshot and sense 3.0 roms that are in various stages of alpha and beta testing. I've tried them and still too buggy for me
Look up the theme "honeycream" its in the market and it works with cm7's built in theme chooser, its a great looking theme and i highly suggest it.

As for a blue style honeycomb theme, this one is pretty good, not to brag of course XD
Looks like he wants to wait for the 2.3 update... you guys got any themes for stock? (Sorry to ask. Fasc, someone put a list together, it's muuuuuch easier.)
Basically I'd like to be persuaded as to whether to use a sense rom (e.g ARHD) or a nosense rom (e.g CM7). And if I use CM7 can I install the HTC dialer and messaging app?

Previously I was using ARHD (sense) and go launcher, and I've just updated to the new ARHD with sense 3. As much as I like it, it's not quite as minimalist as I liked with go launcher and my battery life is not as good (sense is a battery hod, no denying).
I'm tempted to go the other way; CM7 with no sense features. What are the advantages of this? Why do some people prefer no sense?
Can I install the sense APKs of the apps I like? The htc dialer is great, as is the messaging/
I can't answer all your questions however I recently went from RCMix3d 1.4 runny to CM7 and I'm loving the change. The battery life is excellent and it makes me wonder why I was using sense in the first place.
I don't even miss it that much, apart from the odd thing. I'll take longer battery life over flashy show off animations any day

No, the HTC apps won't run without the Sense framework.
Beyond that, I'm not going to persuade you with way; the only way to decide is to backup, flash cm7 and see which one you prefer.

I suggest giving MIUI a try. It is basedd om CM7,has great features and is very easy to customise!
Definately take a look at MIUI as well Its an AOSP rom like CM7 but with some very nice additions. If you like to try out different themes and lots of personalization options MIUI is definately the way to go.
But in the end both ways (sense or no sense) have their advantages. What i dont like about sense is that its so bloated up with stuff you rarely ever use. You can cleane some of it with scripts like rom cleaner but still we're talking 350mb rom (sense) vs 80-90mb rom (CM7 or MIUI).
On the other hand with sense you get one good looking theme and good to very good apps for all the features of your phone. On CM7 you might need to find another app to play music via DLNA for example and another app for weather and so on.
sense and see how you feel if you dont like then go for no sense .....simple really
im with sense atm and feel that it is good
you could try the better of both worlds by flashing DeDense from this thread

Try Helios 0913 for a CM7 rom if you're gonna try one. It'll make you not wanna go back. These forums are crowded with sense roms that look exactly the same and offer nothing different, except some visual stuff, than the other 20 or so sense roms that are here. A good AOSP rom is hard to find on HTC phones now. Like I said though, try Helios or better yet, Hydrogenmod and you'll forget all about sense.

I love Helios too but, more broadly, I went the way of CM7-based ROMs in general + Lord Clockan's amazing kernels and never looked back.
I never enjoyed such a snappy and responsive device when I was on Sense-based ROMs. Ditto battery life. I'm a massive CyanogenMod fanboy now, and will be flashing Nightlies (which are in a very good condition ATM) until Richfish updates Helios.
People on Sense ROMs have good things to report too, though, so my suggestion (which you've probably already heard a million times) is to try stuff out for yourself.
No one will be able to tell you what you would prefer. Test out a CM rom and a sense rom. Make your own mind up.

I see a lot of ICS themes and they are awesome man. But I do miss the ole AOSP GB look and feel. I have tried my best to make my own but honestly I don't have the time I wish I did to dedicate to it right now. If anyone feels up to it and wants to make one that would work with the latest ROMs I would be ever grateful.
Pretty much what I would like to see is a Vanilla GB style Theme. But anything AOSPish would be awesome. Thanks in advance to anyone that considers this.
Download latest blazer and instal gb launcher or go flash cm7 from the other site everything but GPS works

Appreciate the suggestions. I'm not ready to sacrifice functionality for true AOSP yet on this phone. I have the aosp launcher running on Calks and have modded most of the apks to have the aosp icons. What I'm looking for is like a aosp dialer and true aosp mms.apks and such. Once CM9 is released I will go towards true aosp roms. But not until. I did the whole aosp flashfest on my GS1 and not ready to do that yet. Plus the CM7 build you speak of wiped my SD card twice soso it still has some little bugs.
thought
have you tried the "clean" overlay from sprint ID?
Try this rom out. Looks like its picking up with some.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423255
Yeah I was hoping that ROM would get updated and it did. I was so Happy to see it. Running it right now with a few personal Mods and loving it. Also I have never messed with sprint ID so not sure what that is. I will have to look into it.
So, browsing a little back and forth, and tried some of the ROMs that are available here. not many, but a few..
what i can say so far, is that i really love ICS from lord clockan. but not having a working camcorder(camera before) is really a dealbraker..
android Revolution HD was nice and fast i guess, but sense? yeeeah, cool widgets and all, but thats about it really.
cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1 is what im currently using, and that is really nice, stable as a rock, smooth (enough) and never FC's.
BUT, i really dig that MIUI design :S so, can any of you recommend a MIUI ROM with working camera and camcorder?
Go to miui.us or miuiandroid also tons of them in the Rom theme manager or go to xda themes and look their misense 4.1 is a great theme. I hated cm7 due to it dialer and sms miui and sense are my personal choices. But once we get the correct drivers for cam sense 4 will be my favorite.
Good luck and enjoy

You really gotta dig your way back into previous pages in order to find MIUI roms. What i would say is that every MIUI rom is pretty much same with few tweaks here and there but let me tell you something which was told to me by a dev here which is that with MIUI roms your data is continuously sent to them through network i guess where they can pretty much see everything in a shape of a log.
