i am basically looking to root my tmobile g2 just to put sense on it...
but it has already been confirmed that there will be a ginger bread update from htc/tmobile in the coming months..
also sense 3.0 from what i can tell has been floating around on some roms - but will the g2 ever be able to run the new sense without having the dual core? also seems like the htc sensation rom has different resolution from the g2.
so do i root and put sense on my g2 now - or wait

The upcoming GB update won't give you Sense, it'll still be a "with Google" build; if you want Sense, the only way to get it on the G2 is to root the device and install a Sense based ROM.

Yeah but the desirez will get gingerbread with sense - shouldnt i wait to get this type of rom on the g2 since it would be an official/more stock rom

I would install a sense rom now if you want it then install the update when it gets released. As for 3.0 yes it will run on the g2. Some people are working on changing resolutions right now.

How do I go about doing this the right way with having the option to restore/backup?
Also do any of the sense roms work with wifi calling?

If you're unfamiliar with things, the easiest way is with ROM Manager. Once rooted (use the method in the wiki as it's the most up to date) download ROM Manager from the Market. From ROM Manager flash ClockworkMod Recovery. After that, backup your current ROM (name it "Stock", or something that makes sense to you), download the Virtuous ROM (it's the most stable Sense ROM for the G2, from what I've found) and follow the prompts.
Since you're switching between incompatible ROMs, non-Sense/Sense, you will have to do a full wipe. Your contacts and apps will sync (if you have that currently set) but your data won't. To remedy this, before flashing download Titanium Backup and backup all your user apps, you can then use Titanium to push back your apps and data (don't opt to push back your system data as all hell will break lose).

If you want Sense, then you have to root regardless, so why wait to root?
The test version of the Vision/DesireZ ROM with Gingerbread and Sense 3.0 has been leaked, and the SenseGinger custom ROM is based on that. So its not a port. There are still a few fairly minor bugs, but it seems pretty stable if you want to try it out. But no WiFi calling.

mmm no wifi calling might be a deal breaker for me - i loose signal where i work and rely on the wifi signal to receive and make calls...
is there no wifi calling on the sense rom because its based off the desire z (Uk)?
Not sure the reason for WiFi calling not working. It steps on the toes of lots of carriers, so I can see it being left out of the generic HTC ROM, which the leaked test ROM is (the WWE version, or worldwide english). This version of SenseGinger is really new (April 13), so the developers may get it working. Not sure what their intent is, so you might read thru the SenseGinger thread and see if its discussed.
For instance, on Virtuous, WiFi calling only works on T-Mobile by design of the developers. So I'm thinking this feature is a T-Mob exclusive?

You shouldn't wait to root your device base on the upcoming update since probably, they'll patch it somehow so currents rooting methods won't work, like the update on the DesireZ that people have to downgrade in order to root. And yes there are Sense rom that works with wifi callings. Go for it!

I am using CM6.1 (rooted and S-OFF). I am looking through the n00b FAQ and it was mentioned that I can get flash lite. I know Flash 10.1 is not working for MT3G due to hardware no support. My question is, how do I get flash lite (flash lite 4?)
I could not find it in market, but maybe someone had an .apk or .img file?
Thanks.
I was under the impression that Flash Lite doesn't work with Froyo's browser.
EDIT: I should say, STOCK Froyo's browser. My bad.
I think the Flash Lite in the Froyo OTA only works for Sense.
You could try pulling it from there and installing and see what happens.
Every sense rom has flash lite plugin so if u really want that u have to install a sense rom not cm6. Go for 3rd sense or the new froyo ota

They won't since sense is closed source so they don't mess with that... just use skyfire xD

It's just almost Pure stock except:
Rooted with my customized version of Superuser (required until ChainsDD releases a version with my patches).
Deodexed with moderate compression throughout.
Busybox installed in /system/xbin.
Added large APNS list to /system/etc.
Yes,that`s all!
Otherwise its totally stock ROM.
Hi Guys! I have a short question concerning this ROM and Superuser
I used the 1.34 OTA Stock Sense ROM (right out of the box) and rooted my device with the HTC Vision Wiki tutorial. Everything worked fine.
Then "updated" to this ROM here and now my Superuser app keeps quitting as soon as I start the app.
I can't remove or update it (although there seems to be an update via Applanet).
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thx in advance

Can you capture and post a logcat of the failure occurring?
If I tried to use logcat on my device with Terminal Emulator and I get this error message:
"Unable to open log device /dev/log/main : Permission denied"
Does it mean I'm no longer on S-Off and due to that Superuser is quitting all the time?
does any1 have a release note for this HTC rom?
Does this make you lose all your data?
Just curious as its official if its possible to flash without losing everything (again)...
can I flash this to my Rooted G2 with Engineering SPL and Clock work?

long as you are rooted/s-off you can flash this rom, you can also use any of the kernels from here: http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/kernels/virtuous/2.x/ standard is the recommended =)
I want to try some sense apps, but not a full sense rom. Can I take these and push them to my CM7?
I will try in a bit
In short, no. Sense apps need the sense framework.
@Mnemoch Yes. If you're coming from another Sense ROM you can flash this without wiping - I flashed this over the official 1.72 last night and then added the standard OC kernel for Virtuous. It's smooth as butter

I have a T-Mobile G2 ver. 2.3.4. How easy is it and what are the steps to install HTC Sense on my phone? Are there bugs or glitches? Please let me know. Thank you very much!
You just need to find and flash a Sense based ROM via CWM. Virtuous ROMs work very well. I switch between CM7 and Unity on a regular basis and both are stable enough for day to day use.
I assume you have already set the phone up for flashing different ROMs?
Flashing different ROMs? How is it done? I haven't done anything to it except updating it to 2.3.4 using XDA's method. T-Mobile's OTA was taking a long time so I researched and found XDA. Thanks XDA!
It sounds like you have a lot of reading ahead of you.
Flashing ROMs is essentially installing new firmware on the device via a program called ClockWork.
I recommend starting off by reading through guides and information on the link below. The devices typically has safeguards against allowing you to just flash new ROMs, so a process is involved to unlock the phone and allow you to do it.
Once you become familiar with what it is, then learn how to do it, and what it does. I followed the gfree method on XDA wiki and had no issues, but if I recall, being on 2.3.4 you cannot follow the same method and must downgrade first.
Read, read, read. Then read some more. Search is very helpful.

Thanks for all the info and help guys but I'll stick to what I have for now. I read somewhere that there's still some glitches on the install like landscape is not working. And I'll do more research first so I won't brick my phone. Again, thanks guys! Peace!
Landscape rosie (homescreen) doesn't work for Unity. Its not an install glitch or bug, per se. The ROM based on HTC Sensation ROM, which does not have a keyboard, and therefore does not have landscape. Landscape rosie simply does not exist on that ROM, and the dev was fully aware that would be the case, all along. There is no Sense 3.0 with landscape rosie until HTC makes one.
Doubleshot has landscape rosie. Virtuous Sense is based on the official ROM for the Desire Z, so I assume landscape rosie works on that, as well.
There are also other Sense ROMs besides the Virtuous ones, like Insert Coin. But I don't know a whole lot about them.

It will depending on the rom you use. I have been using Newt's rom's primarily and i know he has gotten both GSM and CDMA to work on some of his newer versions, you will have to check the changelog to see which ones work though,
Newts newest 3D 2.03 has the world phone capibilities..

But i cant speak for ASOP, you might want to check the log to see if it is listed as working or not.
I haven't tested Global Mode myself but people are reporting SkyRaider Zeus supports it.
I can give a big thumbs-up to the ROM as a whole. I have been running it for a few weeks and haven't hit a snag yet.

Best to go with SkyRaider Zeus. Based off the stock shipped ROM, not a port.

i live abroad and the stock firmware works fine with local GSM carriers
you can just flash rmk Rooted rom which is the original firmware after removing bloatware, works exactly like stock ( no bugs at all )
and if needed he added a flashable zip including all removed app.
if you like sense 3 , in the Forum there a sense 3 Patch . i tested that rom myself with the Patch and its fine
there is many sense 3 Roms that Support Global Mode also. but in my opinion that rmk Rom is the safest ( no bugs at all )
## phone codes
+1 for rmk's stock ROM.
Make sure that the ROM you use will allow access to the ## phone codes.
Or at least put a stock based cleaned ROM on the phone and set it up and do a nandroid of it so if he needs to access those codes, he will have a workaround.
I found that the AOSP ROMs don't allow access to those codes.
So if you need to manually change any data settings you have to use a sense based ROM to make those changes, then flash back to the ROM you want.
The data settings should stay between flashes but I found that even with full wipe and flashing the ROM, then the nandroid, I still got a boatload of FCs.
Good luck ....
Yep, just depends on which ROM you download. Some do, some don't.

Really? At the risk of sounding like a jerk.... How did you even find your way into the Q&A section without seeing tons of posts about "When will we get the ICS update?"
Just to let you know, once the OTA ICS update is released you will not be able to download it since you are not on the Verizon network. What you will need to do is S-OFF (or at least HTC Dev Unlock) your phone so that you can flash a custom rom. The best part about this is that you don't even have to wait for a custom rom to be released thanks to our awesome devs! You have tons of options for ICS, if you want stock Nitsuj17 just posted a leaked version of the update earlier today and he also has another sense ICS rom out, CondemnedSoul soul has a few nice options (AOKP and CM9 or if you want JellyBean he has the new version of AOKP as well,) Aerovan has an awesome CM9 and a CM10 rom, TazzPatriot has a sense ICS rom out too. There are others as well, those are just the ones that spring to mind.

Just stay stock. If you are that much of a rookie to this, it just might make things worse at this point in time. Most don't have GSM working 100% from what I understand (GSM users can correct me on that).
But, if you haven't even rooted yet, you are still a bit away from being able to flash one of those bad boys. I say give it another week at least to see what these devs can do with the leaked rom.
It will probably be easier for you. If not, and you think you are ready to take the plunge, than good luck and enjoy!
