Will there be custom roms based off the official gingerbread update soon? Is it necessary? I would feel better to have a custom rom based of the official update just released. Also can it be used and have sense 3.0 inserted? That would be awesome. I'm pretty sure that only bits and pieces will be used the fix issues and stuff. What do you think?

Yes. I'm sure there's one or more available at this very moment. As for elements of Sense 3.0, the Synergy rom has it. It is Gingerbread, Sense 2.1 and 3.0 all rolled in one. It should be available to the masses very soon. It is very well built

Sounds good. I can't wait to see it. Hopefully everything works like hdmi and all the bells and whistles.

With the new leaked GB out, HTC only included Sense 1.0 with it. I wanted to know if there is any rom that is based off the leaked GB but running Sense 2.0 and is close to stock looking rather then extremely customized.
Most of the Rom devs don't list whether they are using Sense 1.0 or Sense 2.0.
virus just released a disire hd port with sense 2.1...i havent tried it yet but im downloading as i type.
Yes, virus' rom has 2.1, and it's nice (as is most of his roms). Not getting as good of battery as I'd anticipated, but nice never the less.

Virus' Gingersense has been fun. I suggest anyone give it a shot.

I just discovered Rooting and putting stuff on my Incredible , and I have noticed before that I've seen new Gingerbread software come out and Ice Cream and I'm still stuck on Android 2.2 .. any suggestions ? And how would I got about doing it ?
well, there are currently no leaks at all for Ice Cream so that is out of the question. For Gingerbread i would recommend CM7 at http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ it has gingerbread and is VERY fast and stable but, does not have sense. There are many threads here about flashing roms so i don't really feel like i need to go into that but look around and i guarantee you can find one.

The best one to flash is the one you like the most. Everything isn't for everybody. I did gingerbread for awhile now I'm on zroms. Its up to you there all good and the developers rock.

Personally I like the Z ROMs the most, but chefyocum is correct.
CM7 for me.

never understood why people want to use iphone theme on android. short term is fine for those who change frequently but if u want the iPhone...just get one instead of android

Hmm... I like the way my phone looks and feels, android market, widgets, and the customization.... If we wanted an iphone we would have one!

Well first decide if you like sense, which is basically the HTC interface of your stock ROM, or AOSP, which is the android interface the way google designed it. Then you can pick a corresponding rom. For example, SkyRaider Sense 4.0 is sense rom, and CM7 is AOSP.
SkyRaider Sense
CM7 Nightlies AOSP
As far as getting it done there are plenty of guides that can be found by searching for rooting and flashing roms. Also, most rom threads in these forums have instructions in the first post.
CyanogenMod 7 FTW!
If you decide on aosp salvage mod and evervolv are both excellent roms
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
i like skyraider and uber roms from joel.....both are nice and have sense wich is what i like. not into the asop roms since no sense
I recommend the new GB leak or gingersense remix... I'm a big sense ui fan though. AOSP definately CM7
If you want sense go for Uber Z. VERY STABLE ROM. If not, then go for CM7.
I use either Warm Z two point two or Skyraider 4.0 since both are very stable, fast, and solid battery life. I stick to warm z 90% of the time though. I like landscape. lol

CM7 Nightlies
Stable vs. Beta
There are a lot of Beta Roms running Gingerbread and various versions of HTC Sense.
CyanogenMod 7 is by far the most stable Gingerbread ROM I've see out there (although it's Vanilla so you won't see any HTC Sense going on).
The nice thing about ROMs is you can flash, flash, and flash some more.
I'll second Uber Z for Sense and CyanogenMod 7 for AOSP.
But, as Sharpe said, you can flash and flash to your heart's content. With these Sense 3.0 leaks, I've been flashing like a maniac and having a blast. And if a ROM doesn't work for me, I can just restore to my Nandroid backup and I'm back to where I started (CM7, in this case). ^.^
I'm rocking Carbonite v5. Awesome visuals, great battery life, and very fast.

Where are the new kernels for sense 2.3.3 roms? All of the roms I've seen are for 2.2. I would like on with sbc for my extended battery.

HTC hasn't released source yet. We won't see any custom kernels until the kernel devs have source to work with. We are waiting in HTC.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I read that HTC will be making sense open source, but I don't recall a date. Maybe I should just buy a pure Google phone to be done with all of this hurry up and wait. On second thought, sense has some good benefits besides battery life, which could be resolved with a custom gb kernel.

As for sense being open source. My understanding is sense will not be open source per se, but htc is implementing to allow outside devs to dev apps for sense, that will integrate with sense.
At least, that's my understanding.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah, they're just opening their API is my understanding of it. Basically making it easier to make widgets and apps that are designed specifically to work with Sense. There are absolutely no plans to have Sense running on anything other than HTC hardware.
HTC FTW! That's much more than I'd expect from Motorola or Samsung.
It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice.
They havnt released the source codes yet
I can't wait! I know we have 2.3 already but am very excited bout some new roms based off of it using the proprietary drivers and stuff that was made specifically for this phone! I know the desire z finally came out but not a big fan of sense. Love my CM but ready for a change of scenery I did not have this phone in the beginning but I'm assuming there was a butt load of custom froyo roms based off the official till froyo became old news.

the leaked gingerbread build for the g2 is the official and there are already asop roms out. check out rmks glite rom.
Totally agree with you OP! Use to like sense but not much anymore, to me feels like a bloatware and takes up to much resources. Whilst I do love CM7, theres always somthing that doesn't function quite right.
Has the official 2.3 update arrived yet for the G2? Or any ETA's?

Its not the final. People who have gotten the phone with that build of gb on it from tmobile (refurbs) have been told they have accidentally gotten a test build of gingerbread on it. Also if it was really the final why would it have been finished months ago and still not released.

Check out mexDroidrom's pre-ghost chili rom. It's super fast with eye candy
What's the most updated rom out there.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Right now, I think the one I use, Blazing ROMs Fusion 4.0.
What do you mean by updates? stock updates? app updates?
I'm using RCMix3D Runny, it has sense 3.5 and Android 2.3.5. He updates whenever something new is out. And it runs very smooth and fast. Everything works but 4g, but he will fix it when sprint gets a sense 3.5 phone. Check it out.
