Hey guys, it's been a while since I set foot in here and am behind on all the latest ROMs. I browsed the first few pages of development and perhaps I missed it but I'm looking for a ROM that is based off the official 2.3 build, but has Sense stripped out of it, so it still has working 4G but none of that crappy Sense bloat. I know there was a froyo ROM like that (Vael or Mik perhaps?) but I want to make the upgrade to Gingerbread. Been running MIUI forever and want to try something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
Not sure exactly what you asking for. Is it supposed to not be based on sense at all? If so go with OMFGB you can Google it and find it. I'm not trying to look for a link right now. I've run it and its a great 2.3 build based on Vanilla. I don't run it because I like sense 2.1 which is in the Ginger ale rom

Sense 2.1/3.0 is not the same as Sense 1.0.
You should give it a shot. With the GB added in, it's really pretty nice.
I really am not interested in Sense at all. I am a LauncherPro guy so having Sense on it is pointless. What I am interested in is a ROM based off the official OTA that has all the Sense elements stripped out of it. Still uses a Sense kernel, still has 4G, but has no Sense. I did a little research and the Froyo equivalent was VaelPak, but it doesn't look like he has a GB build yet.

Yea try out OMFGB if you don't want sense. It meets all your requirements in the rom , although Hipkat is right, sense 2.1/3.0 it nothing like sense 1.0.

Just looked into it, still isn't quite what I am looking for. It doesn't look like what I want is currently available. Might go with SalvageMod, I've heard good things about it.
I don't think there are any 'senseless' roms of the OTA out yet. Also just for tossing ideas, if you want to try CM7, its on android 2.3.4 now, and with the Tiamat kernel, epic win. Also good seeing ya. And you, leave MIUI??? The Rapture is upon us.

Hey bud! Long time! No rapture yet, Mr. Camping postponed that till October now Haha yeah, I think I'm done with MIUI finally. I really want to take advantage of 4G to tether my iPad 2, and for some reason MIUI has been giving me nothing but problems lately. I really only want to do this once, so I was hoping for a senseless ROM because I'm sure they will be more stable than other GB/AOSP ROMs. Just don't want any more issues. How stable is CM7 now?
Hey do you know if the sense removal scripts work with the latest OTA? I might just do that and call it a day.

What is the difference between what you are looking for and just installing launcher pro? Then just use TB or root explorer and delete all the sense crap you don't want like all the widgets and such.

Well there's much more to sense than just the launcher and widgets. It is very deeply ingrained in the ROM. Deleting all that crap is the next best thing, but not ideal for what I want.
Teh_Roxxors is gonna laugh here, but I just made a last minute executive decision to update to the latest MIUI instead. I was just on stock GB Sense for a few minutes, and besides it being completely unbearable, I STILL have no 4G by my house. So, screw it. MIUI GB it is.

Yeah I was just wondering why it had to be a sense rom... sounds like CM7 would be right up your alley since it doesn't have any sense at all.

Just because I don't want to deal with stability issues. Every time I flashed CM, I always had reboots regardless of the kernel, same thing with Ultimate Droid. The only AOSP ROM that was ever good to me was MIUI, but even that started to crap out towards the end. I am not as flash happy as I once was, the last ROM I flashed was MIUI 1.1.28 and it was beautiful for a while but lately it had been crapping out ridiculously. I figure if the ROM was Sense based, I wouldn't have those issues. No matter though, I just flashed the latest MIUI GB build and it seems pretty good. It's gorgeous, they have definitely come a long way since 1.1.28, and I think it's going to be pretty stable for me. Though, only time will tell.

Ok, I have been on a stock sense type rom since I got my evo and I am wondering if I am missing out.
So, can some of the users please give me some advice on the MIUI roms and maybe viruses roms? Just pros and cons and what particularly you love about those types of roms.
Thanks for any info given...
Have you checked out myns warm twopointtwo? I just flashed it last night along with the gingerbread launcher gingerbread keyboard(which is badass BTW) and the kings #11 kernal plus transparent title bar and its sick. I hate sense but this setup is just amazing. Also if you do this go into titanium backup and delete the HTC lockscreen and you will get this like ultra stealth badass as **** lockscreen that I've never seen before. (No its not the vanilla one)

I like warm twopointtwo but it is still based on 3.30.651.3 and Id rather something more updated. If he updates his rom I will be all about it. I love the sprinkles...lol
Anyone else have any suggestions?

I've been running MIUI since the beginning of November, it's amazing. I tried going back to sense for the 4G a few weeks ago and after trying Fresh and then Myn's, I restored my MIUI nandroid and haven't looked back again. It's leaner, faster, runs a HECK of a lot smoother, and is stable as hell. My battery lasts about a day and a half with average use and at least a full day with moderate to heavy use. It's a great ROM for someone who wants to ditch Sense altogether but doesn't like how bare bones pure AOSP ROMs are.
Did they update the evo miui Rom with the new UI?

Not sure, I don't think that one has been ported yet. But now that you had me check into it, I just found a thread from bcnice20 that says he's jumping ship to the EVO Shift, so we are currently without a dedicated MIUI dev for the EVO
Now that's gay.

Cm is nice but my god the WiFi is horrible. Every 20 seconds it drops....never tried another kernel with it so might be a workaround. I'm still waiting for cm to release the GB stable.

Well you can always flash the latest build and sit on it. I'm still on a month old build and haven't needed to update, though i probably will in the next couple days. MIUI is (was) a weekly updated ROM so we probably won't be getting that kind of treatment anymore, but I'm sure somebody will pick it up soon. There is a lot of love for MIUI out there.

The new version is in beta now. Should be released with all its sprinkles within a week or so, I'd guess. Maybe even within a few days.

What is a great rom to use that not gonna cook your phone cause of a messed up or overclocked kernel? I was using the CM 7 rom for awhile I loved it tho I didn't like the camera app on there would like to find a rom that hdmi is working and stock camera app is working with themes. Right now im using the Sprints Lovers rom. Any ideas thank....
Well you're gona get a ton of answers. I here Myn's warm two point two is good. And if you want hdmi, you have to stick to sense-for the times being.
Myn's would be my first suggestion. As far as I know, it has all the things you wanted.

Check out the poll. Try them out and see what you like. Everyone has their own preferences. Link in my sig
I like to use MikFroyo the most. Very responsive and everything works.
MIUI. HDMI doesn't work but it doesn't matter, MIUI is worth the trade off.
If you want one that everything works definatly myns warmtwopointtwo
I like Fresh too, but Myn's looks so much better and I think it runs better.
I have seen this question so many times now, mostly in the Dev section. Thanks for posting where it belongs lol.
I have tried almost every rom out there. Some package specific (non-stock) kernels, which may not be the best out-of-the-box experience, depending on your hardware.
I too +1 for Myn's RLS5. It's stock-esque, but better, if that's what you're looking for.
If you want to be adventurous, try MIUI. It's fricken' awesome, but doesn't have 4G yet or HDMI. I've found the HDMI personally to be worthless anyway after buying an adapter on eBay.
mikfroyo 4.5 has taken over sense based ROMS.

Myns is very stable. I've been using it since I've rooted my phone, and no matter how many different ROMS I try, I always come back to Myns because it just plain works. Also, Myns ROM thread is incredibly active, and if you ask a question there, more than likely you'll have a solution/answer by the next hour. Ontop of that, myn reads most, if not every post in the thread and listens to what the community likes and doesn't like about his work, and keeps them updated on what he plans to work on etc.
I'm sure other people can make similar arguments for other ROMS, but I just thought I would share my thoughts.

I just tried the virus rom his latest one it says sensless but you have a option to turn sense on and the stock camera and hd works also pretty nice rom worth checking out.
I've tried Myns, Ava, Kings, Elite, Fresh, Azrael, and MikFroyo. Most of them have been pretty stable, but IMO MikFroyo is where it's at. If you need a bit more eye candy, Kings is based of MikFroyo and has a ton of themes.
Although my biased opinion says try CM7 again

Ya i love the cm 7 just wanting on the stable update the voice mail thing got annoying the text thing that came through with every voice mail you got and no HDMI yet.
Personally I have tried a ton. Sense based: MikFroyo and Myn's. But I would also have to say MikFroyo. After a few weeks of using both Mik is less laggy. Plus he has an optimized LauncherPro which did it for me since I use the car dock a lot and need a landscape launcher.
Currently testing gginggerbread-6 (CM7 RC1+4G). Its not bad. A few FC but overall stable enough to run daily.
Didn't want to start a new thread but wanted some opinions on which ROM to put on my wife's new EVO. She's not very tech savy so I don't want to keep changing things on her phone by flashing different things all the time. I just wanted to pick one great looking, speedy ROM that seems to have virtually no issues.
I'm not the type to flash every single ROM so my experience is limited to Baked Snack, Fresh, and CM7 RC1/nightlies. I'm figuring a nice Sense ROM will be best for her.
What you say?

I ran Fresh before I made the jump to MIUI, it's a great ROM, very stable and bug free. That would be my recommendation. He doesn't update it as much as some of the other devs do theirs, but that will prevent you from having to update often.

Thanks for the roms to try out haha. I'm a little said that skyraider wont get update for the inc anymore at least from how I understand it. Now to try out Miui and synergy while im down at the beach for a week.
I need a Gingerbread/Sense ROM with and emphasis on stability. Close to stock would be best though it isn't paramount. I realize that ROMs are like beers, you get a different opinion on which is best depending on who you ask. The circumstances just don't allow me to try out a whole slew of ROMs.
A good friend's wife has an EVO 4G (I have a Sensation, G2x & HD2) and is having trouble with stability. I suggested we root it and slap a custom ROM on it. While they were over I rooted it and got everything ready to back up and slap a ROM on it. Problem is I am unsure as to what ROM to put on it. Yes, I could try out several ROMs to find one that works but this isn't going to go well at all. The reasons should be obvious for anyone who is married. This is magnified by the fact that I would only have access to the phone maybe once every other week. I need a silver bullet for this one.
Thank you for your time.
I've tried a ton of sense roms, MikG still wins for stability and everything working for me.

Thats the one. I used to use Synergy to but I found it to be a bit slower than MikG and Mik sees more updates.
If you go Synergy RLS1 is the newest version. RC2 is older and was an unofficial release I believe. I never had a problem with the lock screen on Synergy.

While they were over I rooted it and got everything ready to back up and slap a ROM on it. Problem is I am unsure as to what ROM to put on it. Yes, I could try out several ROMs to find one that works but this isn't going to go well at all. The reasons should be obvious for anyone who is married. This is magnified by the fact that I would only have access to the phone maybe once every other week. I need a silver bullet for this one.
Thank you for your time.

1. If she is having a problem with stability on a stock unrooted Evo then she needs to backup her information and just do a factory reset.
2. Trying out several ROMs is required because phones react to various ROMs differently. I can tell you that a certain ROM plays well with my phone but it may not play quite as well with yours. Then comes the issue of kernels. Kernels have a large impact on the phone's stability as well.
3. Tell your friend to do his own homework on how to get her phone up and running or have an affair with her so that you can see her more often and get more opportunities to test ROMs/kernels on her phone.
What version of Sense would you prefer?

I ran AOSP and CM ROMs on my G2X. Eaglesblood with Faux's kernel. CM and AOSP ROMs are actually my preference for Android in general. I am not a huge fan of Sense, it has some nice apps but its too confining. This isn't my phone though.

The EVO 4G has 2.5 by default I believe. I run the leaked 3.5 on my Sensation and it has some improvements over 2.5 and a couple over 3.0. If there is a very stable and fully functional ROM with 3.x that would be better. Stability and functionality still trump everything else though.
They mentioned that Netflix has to work as they use it often. Skype working properly with video would be good as well.

i agree AOSP Roms are a lot better, smoother, and allow for more customization, that's why the thread i made in my sig is only about them and not about sense based roms. plus whenever an ICS rom comes out it'll be AOSP
Hey Guys whats better my cousin keeps on bugging me and he dosen't like my oppinion so I'll aks you guys instead so that he'll finally stop so
What do you guys think
AOKP or HTC Sense?
Better in what way?
To me its all a matter of preference. I've never been able to stand a Sense ROM more than a week.

Overall Performance and the Camera Quality
Again, its a matter of preference. Some people like Cameras apps from other ROMs, or off the market. Performance is a mixed bag too. I never had much luck with Sense 3.0 or 3.5 ROMs with performance, but other people say it works flawless.
Just give him the advice that probably 90% of the people here would: try them out and find out what works for you.
But if your looking for an opinion... the best cameras I've used have been in sense roms, but other than for the camera I can't stand sense, never cared much for eye candy.
I prefer speed and stability so I would say the best is aosp, aokp, cm, even miui. But never sense... again just adding my 0.02$

Thankyou alot guys now I could review for my tests on Monday
If you're talking bout something at the level of ICS 4.0.4, then I would say 'performance' wise AOKP is going to be better in general, not as much 'eye-candy' and such you'd get from Sense. (As far as I know, no Sense ICS rom has a working camera yet).
But if you're talking Gingerbread and earlier, it's really going to depend on the custom Rom. For example AOKP is most likely going to out perform a stock sense install, but a custom Sense Rom could be on par.
Guess it depends on where your priorities are, do you need more eye candy, or are you aiming more for raw performance/functionality?

There are some ICS Roms that have camera and camcoreder working on the DZ, like Ice Cream Jibwich and AOKP bulids for vision (those were the only ROMS I got to try, so those are the only ones I know. )

But are either of them SENSE 4.0? I was specifically referring to Sense Roms. I know some work, as I'm using an ICS rom where it works.

ahh... well none yet but once the DHD gets that ICS update Dev's we'll get that Sense 4.0 camera up and running!
and hey why is that Kernel 3.0 from the DHD so important? the people from the Desire S forums have it already.
If ur cousin want a best camera yet performance out of it,get the xperia sense by taz instead..it doest use sense as launcher,but use xperia launcher which was really light..like running 17mb for me.. it's a fast yet with function of sense
