Right now I'm running cyanogenmod 7 nightlies but getting kinda bored with the same old thing

I love HTC Sense, its so professional looking & has convenient widgets.
I am currently using the HTC Desire Z ROM on my Incredible. It is a port of the actual ROM used on the Desire Z, so it has a very nice customizable menu instead of the basic "+" icon. And it is light & runs pretty smoothly also.
Found here!
But there are several other good Sense ROM's available.
Magnolia is a very nice looking version of Sense UI Here...
Different styles of Sense UI:
Nil's Business Sense Here...
Incredibly Re-Engineered Here...
Warm TwoPointTwo Here...
I also recommend using the attached file to flash over your newly installed ROM, it will wake your Incredible without needing to press the power button, using the Optical Touch device instead.
Good luck & hope you find the ROM that is right for you.

Like it was said above, there are quite a few of them out there. But the best one is all about which one YOU like using best. Chcek them all out, make backups, and see which one has the features YOU like the most. Everyone here has their favorite preference, now its time to get yours
My opinion: Best Sense - Incredibly Re-Engineered
My opinion: Best non-Sense - CM7
Once I've used a Z rom I can't use any other sense rom anymore I'd recommend Uber Z. Link in my sig.
For AOSP I'd have to recommend the same old CM7.
There are quite a few good sense roms but I was always partial to Skyraider. The developer has stated that there will only be one more update to it, but its fast, stable, and has quite a few modifications that can be done while still staying true to the overall sense theme.
As for non-sense I have to go with CM7 too. Fast and stable and extremely customizable.
Try as many as possible and throw some different kernels in there too. That's half the fun of rooting.

I'm another supporter of the SkyRaider 3.5 ROM
There's a bunch of really great ROM's here, so I'm sure you'll find something you like.
I like Sense ROMs apps, like the camera and people/phone app look and function much better than non-sense ROMs. With that said, non-sense ROMs are so much faster in my experience.
Best Sense ROM: Magnolia, the developer is seriously committed to providing the highest quality ROM to his users.
Best AOSP ROM: CM7
Magnolia!!!!

Everytime I try to flash the TrackBall wake it fails...do I have to rename it to something else?
IncROM (sense) by |||bored||| has found a permanent home on my dinc. Like most here i've gone through many, many ROM's and now i can't get away from IncROM. The developer is incredibly responsive and stability has been rock solid through 3 releases. But, like someone said, the fun is in trying them all!!!1

Warm Z TwoPointTwo is a great rom.. decided to stick with this one.. Its sense 2.0 also.. which is a nice change

i did like that one but not the keyboard. yes i could have swapped that out, but i have been using miui for the last few weeks.
i also love sense and am using my first ROM (myn's). i love it and really dont even care to change to anything else at all. Very similar to stock with some enhancements. perfect.
I am a fan of Sense roms. I like Warm 2.2 and Incredibly Re-engineered personally, and was using the Z variant of Warm until yesterday when I switched to try IR Z. I love the speed of both of the Z roms, and the new Sense 2.0 is much smoother than the original.

I have a question can someone explain what a Z rom is opposed to a regular rom?

Thanks Nilsp appreciate it. From your experience do they run better than a regular rom or evo based rom?

They have access to htcsense.com which is cool, also they have the super quick reboot. Its generally faster, and is what most of the devs seem to be moving to using.
Skyraider 3.5 is my favorite sense rom. ihtfp is a great developer and maintains very stable and functional roms. Used to be my daily driver and might be once again when the new version comes out.
However, for AOSP I can't stress enough how awesome MIUI has been. It's like a completely different OS but no less beautiful and functional than what we've come to expect. I especially love the built in theme manager. It makes switching things up super easy. The launcher is really smooth too, something I could not achieve on any 2.3 rom no matter which launcher I've used.
Unfortunately MIUI isn't gingerbread yet, but they're going to start releasing gingerbread versions to phones this Friday with a fancy new UI. Can't wait!

Thanks Blockhead. I am new to the incredible but have experience with the droid x. They seems to be different mainly due to the locked bootloader on the x. When flashing roms there is no talk of s-off, radio, kernals, ect. I do have a question will some roms not boot because someone's system is s-on? I ask this because i previously rooted using unrevoked3 and have the superuser icon in app drawer but am still s-on (shown in hboot) i created a backup in clockworkmod recovery. Then i tried to flash Incredibly Reengineered rom and it installed fine but when i restarted it just stayed at HTC boot screen, i waited over 10 min pulled battery and same thing happened where it would not go past the HTC boot screen. I did wipe data, cache, and delvk cache.
Hello everybody please excuse this question if it has been ask before... but I have a friend that have the evo and he want a rom with 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 android and also with sense... I personalty have an HTC Incredible so I am not able to choose one of the rom sinse I have a different phone...
I would appreciate if anybody could help me out and recommend me some roms.......
Right now im running the new retro rom from the evokings and its pretty good looking and stable

New EvoZoneHD is running fast and smooth, cant wait for virus to get few things smooth out and his roms will be tops
The first thing your friend should find out is which type of screen they have, Epson or Novatek. There's a battery-killing bug with the current gingerbread Sense roms that forces Novatek panels to always be at 100% brightness. It can be fixed by flashing a custom kernel, but the only custom kernels are currently for FroYo, and they end up breaking the camera.
I am Hardware version 3, With an Epson Panel and Just installed Misfits Speedy RC1 Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 and some Sense 3.0. Basiclly everything works except HDMI, and it runs better then the stock 2.2 I was running previously
I have hardware version 003 with an Epson panel and I'm currently running a slightly customized version of Calkulin's EViO 3 beta: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060456
Everything works fine for me. The only real bug I've found so far is that after a few weeks I've had to clear the cache on com.htc.socialnetwork.provider because it was causing force-closes on com.htc.bgp. I don't know if this is specific to this rom, the leaked 2.3 release, or just my phone.
4G works fine, wifi is fine, bluetooth is fine, an overall good rom IMO. Might be too stock for some of the folks here. I am really not a fan of the espresso rosie bar that this uses, so I made a custom one that is IMO a slightly prettier version of the stock rosie.
Here's a post that has instructions on how to find out which type of LCD panel the EVO in question has: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12506189&postcount=13

I'm on hw 0004 and so far the most stable rom with sense is misfits rc1. It s the most stable across al hw versions from what I have seen.

I'm looking for a new ROM to use -- I'm currently on CM7, but it always lags a bit and I have to reboot quite often to get different menus to appear that aren't.
I'm looking for something flashy, but still quick and battery-efficient. So far, I have tried MIUI and IncRom, with my favorite so far being IncRom.
Any suggestions?
If you're getting lag on CM7, then its going to be way worse on a sense rom. What CM7 version and kernel are you using? It sounds like you may have an obscene amount of apps installed/running, or something else in your setup must be off. What is your rom installation procedure? I never had lag with CM7 or any issues accessing menus and I don't think my experience is unique.
Personally, I am having really good luck with newtoroot and wdfowty's inc2 roms. Newts is basically stock and wd's inc2 remix has some 3.0 added on top of the 2.1. Both are very good on battery and smooth as well.
Ive flashed a few sense 3.0 roms on my phone i ran kingdom rewind, shooter rewind, synergy, etc. main pet-peeve ive had with those are the lag with the rotating home screens. So i opted to a 2.1/3.0 sense (optimized shift) but it has a bug with auto-correct which changes the letter im typing (ex. when i type m it will show a j n change the letter to that) which is really annoying. I wanted to see wat 3.0 roms are other people using/ having success with, and mainly ones that run fast & smooth.
Incredibly RE-engineered3D runs without lag its still labeled beta but very stable Incredible Sensation and Community rom are both good as well. Wait for the new releases on the last two though
Incredible Sensation, Shooter Rewind, and Community are all very nice.

It is good though not a sense 3.0 rom. Its sense 2.1 with sense 3 elements such as lockscreen and weather. A full sense 3.0 rom has the 3d carousel.

I've tried them all and it really does come down to personal preference.
Try one until you decide on one you like. For me it's NilsP Business Gingersense 3.0. No lags, no issues, the guy always makes solid roms.

Synergy RLS1 has been the best rom I've found. My battery life is close to 2 days and its very fast for me.
But I agree, just figure out what you need to move/copy the important things between flashes and try a few until you find something that works/you like.

idky but whenever i flash synergy, when the phone starts up the locksreen doesnt show up for about 10-20+ mins. im using clockwork 3.0.0.8 i think thats what it is. ill just try community and the new pure shooter roms
Synergy is a 2.1 rom with a few apps
pulled from sense 3.0 roms, it doesn't compare to real sense 3.0 roms.

Just got my Defy yesterday, just couldt wait or see the point in waiting for the Defy+....
It seems as im the lucky ones with a Green Lens but with the 720p able chip on it.
Anyways back to the subject in hand... Why dont i see any AOSP roms? There are a couple of MIUI roms, and a bunch of MOTOBLUR roms. I personally hate Motoblur since i use LPP to set up my launcher as i want.
The best so far has been a WajkIUI that has LPP installed as default, but i hate the MIUI style menus. They are just too Iphonish.
So... Is there a clean AOSP rom for this phone or not?
Not exactly AOSP, but CM7 is really close to it (just a few extras but they are usable not like blur)
