Back in the day with WinMo I loved MightyROM because he made an awesome ROM but mostly left the look and feel of stock. He didn't mess with a ton of stuff just because he could and I always appreciated that because it was rock stable. I rely heavily on my phone for business, it must be stable for all the things I use it for. I see the new "official" leak for Gingerbread and I want to give it a shot but I see these other ROMs that are now popping up thanks to the leaked kernel/libraries/whatever. They have higher versions of Sense (which I rely heavily on) and it makes me debate should I jump past the leak? So my question is this:
Which ROM past the modified Sense 1.0 in the official leak retains the most stability combined with new Sense updates? Even though 3.0 is available I'd be happy with the 2.1 that my wife is now rocking on her EVO Shift via another official leak. Which of these is a proper port from a phone with almost identical hardware, etc., so I know it's going to work flawlessly?
Skyrader is a sense ROM with lots of cool stuff from CM7.
Uber stable to.
I second the SkyRaider nomination. His ROMs have always been stable in my experiences. SR 2.5.2 (I believe it was that version?) was the first ROM I actually ever flashed lol.

I agree Skyraider! It is heavily themed Sense 1.0 so it looks sweet, has tons of customization and has the stability of stock. I have flashed all the new Sense 2, 2.1 and 3.0 roms but I always come back to Skyraider.

I have been using Gingerbread Remix, its a beta but extremely stable. It's based on sense 2.1 but has sense 3.0 features like the lockscreen.
Skyraider looks like it's still Froyo though, if I'm going to go through the hassle of re-setting up my device I'd rather do it with actual gingerbread, not just themed gingerbread.
well, then you're gona have to look at the very few gingerbread roms out there since it's brand new. there's some in the development section that are PLAIN stock gingerbread sense; then there are some that are themed. i'm on optimized gingersense right now which seems real nice, and root is uploading a new release now that includes some sense 3 goodies, so you might wanna look into that.
I'm on Gingersense remix by wdfowty. It's sense 2.1 but with all the nice sense 3 features that you would want. Lockscreen, message and phone apps.

I've been loving SR 4.0 with Lous #8...but i recently moved over to the Uber kingdom rom and I'm hooked. It has so much potential...wouldnt quite recommend it for a daily driver yet unless you are the patient type
Stock Kingdom is pretty solid now that it's in alpha 2. Only issue I've had is with Rosie, so I just installed launcher pro. Problem solved.

+1..
This rom is amazing. Give it a shot, you won't regret it!
Do any of them have any issues with Exchange activesync?
+1 with GingerSense RmX, great ROM, great Sense 3.0 integration, stable as can be, only problems I've had with it are related to MMS but that's cause I didn't wipe before the update :/
I'm also running the GingerSense ReMix Rom, they just released beta 3 today, its been very stable for me. Just keep in mind its still beta.

None that I have found yet... I have flashed newtoroots and Wdfowty's sense 2.1 Roms.
I run sky raider as my daily. If you are looking for something to set up and run for a while, I'd go with sky raider 4.0. You commented about not wanting to reset everything up. The Ginger sense ports are betas and each release requires full wipe.
SR 4.0 is currently the most stable feature packed sense rom. Waiting for ports or leaked gb builds to get more stable then ill switch. Would love a skyraider rom based on the Inc Gb leak¡!
I am using the Stock Plus v3.01 ROM and loving it.
I must admit though, the only reason I am using it because I love HTCs voice recognition keyboard and I didn't know how to get that into CM7 on my Droid Incredible!

I have the leaked Gingerbread ROM for my Incredible, which I decided to revert to after spending a day with the Kingdom Sense 3.0 ROM. I really loved the lockscreen though, and have seen the download link for the Evo and similar phones floating around, but I know it's the wrong screen size, and don't myself have the skills to fix it. Does anyone know if an appropriately sized Sense 3.0 Lockscreen APK for the Incredible exists, or if not, would someone be willing to make one? The Kingdom Alpha ROM is just too buggy. Maybe some day soon, but for now I just want something functional I can still enjoy
There is a apk. However it doesn't have the icons on the screen. Works well though.

I strongly suggest using gingersense remix (wdfowty I think). It is a gingersense port that includes a bunch of 3.0 features (mostly 2.1 sense) but actually runs on our phones. It includes a working 3.0 lockscreen-if you use the apk then it is the lockscreen only, no shortcuts-just the ring to unlock and no animations.
I can promise if you try this rom you will not be disappointed....
It won't run on the gingerbread leak due to the fact that it is sense 1.0 and not sense 2.1.
I just realized it was you joel that posted the last reply. I'm eagerly awaiting the release of your uber gingershift
My advise to you is look at the ones built off the leaked version for the incredible.
I am running mik miks gingersense beta and it seems to have stabilized enough to use until the official release and subsequent roms built off the final release are out.
Also I dont know if it is coincidence or if it helped but flashing the leaked gb radio is what i did right before everything seemed to stabilize...
Also I believe i was getting better signal on redemption 2.4 than i am on these gingerbread ones.
I moved to mik miks after i was having issues on Gingersense remixed b4 with random restarts and being unable to dial out. Though I now believe I was the cause for most of those issues on a mistake I made when I restored some apps from titanium backup. Make sure you only restore apps you have downloaded not system apps that should not be in the new rom.
I want a basic sense 2.0 rom. Where everything works. Recommendations? AOSP is my first joy, now i wanna explore sense. :-D
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Why stop at 2.0, jump into Newtoroots Hybrid sense 3.0. Also check out Nils business sense 2.1 with som 3.0 mixed in.
I tried MIUI for the first time (1st AOSP rom ever for me). I'm liking it alot.

try warm z twopointwo and use my stock theme if you want it stock found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033311 or try any of the roms in my signature they're pretty much stock
I would try Incubus Stock 2.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052613
I've been using it for almost a month now and I love it. It's solid and stable, and to me...better than SR 4.0.
One of the things I really love about his ROM is that he didn't remove the HTC hub, and everything from the HTC hub works on the ROM except the widgets section and a couple addons. All themes/skins, sounds, and wallpapers on the hub work.
I've been trying out a few other Sense 2.0 ROMs with the DualRom X2 and I always keep coming back to Incubus Stock 2.0
thanks guys, but totally unrelated. i cant get any of the OMFGB nightlies to flash at all. they just boot loop, and loop and loop
I would agree, Warm Z 2.2 is pretty slick. I am currently running their Synergy Nightlies which hopefully soon will become 2.3. Sense 3.0 is great, i mainly use it for the kick-a$$ lock screen. The rest kinda gets covered with Luancher Pro that i run. The nightlies have their share of bugs, but are nearly there.
I been looking at gingerbread and sense 3.0 roms for the last two days and I'm stuck between MikRom and VirusRom, are there anymore ? I want to keep the sense feel but have a stable rom. I really won't have time to keep updating alot so need something that works before I start wiping my phone.
I've ran both. MikMik was way more stable (at least when I switched). I've been using it as my daily rom for awhile, and it just updated yesterday and became more stable (supposedly). If you can hold your breath long enough, Synergy aka Myn's Warm 2.3, should be coming out soon. His last one is ancient in terms of android roms, and its still one of the most widely used roms.
To help yourself decide, go to android development and filter the list based on stats...you'll see who's rom is the most talked about and theat can help filter out the crap (or brand new which MIGHT not be stable yet)
I'm on mik's 2.0 so far the best I have used fast bug fixes if you can find one not a true 3.0 but it is fast smooth and a large user base with new mods every day give it a try and see what you think

The only one of the two I've run is MikG's, and it's pretty sweet
Thanks guys I been surfing the mik mik forums also. Quick question does Mik rom has 3.0 notification bar and camera what all is sense 3.0 besides the Lockscreen?
I could only find videos of virus rom on youtude

I like the current stock ROM that comes with the phone when you buy it Android 2.3.3 HTC Sense on the HTC Incredible 2 as it runs smooth and all. But I was wondering if there was a ROM that is the same as the stock ROM, but without that annoying location icon on the top. And added more stuff into the quick settings, and fixed the alarm clock issue were the phone freezes the clock app by it self.

Skyraider Zeus 1.3 sounds like the rom for you.
Has all of the above requests that you have mentioned.

If we are going to start mention a good stock rom,we are not going to finish jajaja.i am using Magnolia 2.0 and is awesome but the best way to know wish one is better is try a different rom and then you deside.

Magnolia isn't stock.
Stock? Sabotage is close and a damn good ROM.
I"m assuming he wants to stick with a rom that has a sense 2.1 base such as skyraider or twisted. Magnolia is nice and all, but sense 3.5 isnt everyone's cup of tea, and it can be a bit laggy at times (every 3.5 rom ive tried has had some wierd issue).
As mentioned before, Skyraider Zeus is my fallback for a stock feeling rom. It's got some sense 3.0 features, which would feel like an upgrade to you, but it's still fast, stable and setup on the 2.1 base, where everything works...just better
Just got Zeus, love the ROM except I don't like the notification bar that much, any way to change it to look like stock Sense 2.1? And I think the battery is dying faster with this ROM not sure though...
Try Nitsuj's Gingerbangsense. Great rom, pretty stock and he has a good 3.0 patch to put on top if you want some of those features

So I have been using Deck's ICS ROM for quite a while now. I'm finally getting tired of the random reboots all the time. So I'm looking for a new ROM to use. Looking for something preferably not Sense, but Sense is ok. Wasn't a big fan of CM7. I basically want something that works smooth and reliable. Looking for suggestions. BTW I'm on a Boost Mobile Flashed Evo if that matters at all.
Thanks Ahead of Time!
Tommytomatoe's Classic (Sense and Sense-less as it allows you to remove Sense)
Deck's ReLoaded - Sense-less
Both I have found to be stable and fast.

MazWoz Beta 6, AOSP ics
Swipers MIUIv4, just look for the thread I started
CM9 - there's two different versions JMZtaylors and Mazdariders both are good

Not a fan of MUIU lol.
Thing with the ICS Beta's is I always seem to have issues. AOKP and EVervolv both gave me some issues so I'm kinda weary of ICS at the moment. Even though that's my favorite so far.
I'll see what they will do for me though. Thanks!
You might also want to check out SOS swaged out stock roms. They are pretty reliable because they are based on ota updates but tweaked to be faster. They have one that's is sense based but no sense UI
Checkout RemICS-UX Port. I flashed it last night and it's smooth as can be
Huge fan of MikG. I finally updated to 3.11 and can't believe I waited so long to jump from whatever version I was running for at least half a year before that. It's so much faster and more stable.
I know it's a Sense rom but I use launcherpro anyway and make it look how I want. Love it love it love.
