CDMA Desire Sense 2.x and 3.0 - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello-
I was wondering if any developer would like to try porting a Sense 2.x or Sense 3.0 rom to the CDMA Desire. We don't have a single Sense rom for our phone besides the official sense 1.x RUU. I along with many owners of this phone are begging for someone to port their rom, but we have not received any help. Any time you spend on this is much appreciated and I am sure that plenty of people would be willing to donate.
Thanks!

I would love this as well, but it's not very likely to happen. I believe all the GSM Desire Sense rom's are avaliable due to a dev leak. The CDMA Desire is still only on Froyo for a Sense Kernel.
I'm trying to create an easy guide for CDMA user's since it almost needs it's own forum to make it easier for new users.

It would be nice to see sense 3.0 on our devices. I wonder if there's a way to port gsm rom on cdma device? Maybe someone can give a clue?

There have actually been some recent developments that have made the "possible." I am currently testing a version of Sense 2.1+3.0 that I have ported to the CDMA Desire with coolexe's new kernel. Some stuff isn't quite right yet (no wifi/gps/bluetooth due to kernel issues) and lack of space since I have had to port from the HTC incredible which doesn't have roms that utilize SDEXT like the Desire has to. Long story short, I have Sense 2.1 + some 3.0 elements running on my BravoC, but the data space is low (30mb after fresh install) and I have some other minor issues to work out.

wow, that would be AWESOME! I have been trying every sense 2.5 to runnymede's latest 4.0 sense rom, and have yet to have one go through. this explains it all! con247, that would be awesome man, let us know if you get it working. if you need help testing/finding bugs, i would be more than happy to help

Rom selection help, please.

There is entirely too much info available... I want a stable sense gingerbread rom for my incredible. A working camera is a must. Does such a beast exist? Links would be great. Thanks.

Such a beast does not exist YET. So far we've got a half working port of Incredible S which I believe is 2.3. I would really like to see it perfected. Until then the best sense ROM would be a Desire Z port, those are frigging fast.
EDIT: The Inc. S isn't GB, the Huashen or w/e is GB.

Though I do not have links handy, I will also put this information out there for you. At this time, there are 3 main gingerbread ROMs for Incredible, Cyanogenmod 7 (RC1 is out as well as nightlies), Evervolv (very slow updates), and OMFGB (kicked off this site). Currently, Cyanogenmod is the most stable and for me, the fastest. One thing the camera is missing though is 720p. This will likely be the case until we have a sense gingerbread build like you are talking about. The mentioned Incredible S port is still 2.2 based but has the new 2.5 senseui. The only gingerbread sense build out period right now is the one leaked for the Huashan (spelling?) but that has yet to be ported to Incredible yet.
Both CM7 and OMFGB have "working" cameras, but maybe not to the extent that you would want them.. it's still a work in progress.
I suggest going with chingys incrediblely re -engineered Rom.. very stable very fast with lous kernels

[Q] Sense 2.0 vs 3.0

can someone please help me understand the difference between these two? How does Sense 3.0 fit in with Gingerbread 2.3 or 2.4? Does it?

To the best of my knowledge, Sense and Android versions are independent of each other. For our purposes, there is a very high likelyhood of getting a stock upgrade to Gingerbread on the EVO 4G (some say impending OTA very soon), but a low chance of us ever seeing Sense 3.0.
Pretty sure we won't see an official Sense 3.0 for our phones...but one can hope? Some of the 3.0 stuff looks awesome!
I don't think there is much difference between froyo and gingerbread. The froyo kernel still works on GB roms. I believe sense 3 is a GB based rom. 2.0- 2.1 are made in both varieties but it doesn't seem to add anything by being based on GB versus froyo.
Sense 3.0 seems to be suited for tablet also. There are minor changes to the way it works. The lock screen has shortcuts on it, cosmetic changes and I did notice the music player now can download cover art. Other than that I have not noticed any major enhancements. HTC hub is starting to work but gives me problems when using a different skin.

You can't expect a Rom that's not even suppose to be on our phone to be fully functional and stable. It was originally said that our phone wouldn't be able handle sense 3.0 but these devs proved everyone wrong. They ported it over and little by little the bugs are being worked on and being improved. It's not yet completely stable but I use it as my daily driver and the only problem I have is with battery.

The above statement is true. For example, HTC EVO has the older version of Sense. Truth be told, since Sense 3.0 isn't native for the EVO, or the official rom that was designed for the EVO, one can expect maybe a second lag and the occasional unstableness.
I myself am running 2.3.3 with Sense 3.0 on my EVO, credit due to "Virus," one of the many genius devs here at XDA.
Remember, our phones are like world and life -- not perfect. The devs on the other hand -- pure genius -- FACT!
yea your right but i did my research on the sense 3.0 and i never came across them saying htc evo coudnt handle it and in some of the reviews i was reading bout the rom before i try it they said it was pretty stable but the devs pshh im ready to open my bank acct to them they are all pure genus for doing this for the evo and sharing it with ppl
but i just was scare that the 3.0 sense was actually laging on the widget responds but thank you guys for clearing that up

Its all a matter of personal preference and taste, my friend. More ROMs is always better. And if you don't like it, you don't have to flash it (if anyone does port it). There are plenty of custom Sense ROMs on GB for our phone, so it would be hard to believe that absolutely no developers would be interested in porting a ICS ROM with Sense.
I think it'd be better to wait until HTC releases their first ICS phone. It will contain a brand new Sense UI version, which would be optimized for ICS.
Sense 3.5 is really convenient, I prefer it over stock Gingerbread. But in combination with Ice Cream Sandwich? Google's UI works like a charm, no need for me to switch back this soon.
That link looks very promising for DHD owners, I'm glad that we still have so much support for our phone though. It'd be really cool to see Sense 3.5 on ICS.
I don't think sense 3.5... I think sense 2.1 with ics will be an awesome combo

Desire HD and Desire Z came out around the same time, and hardware is similar in many ways. So the DHD ROM may be a good starting point.

[Q] Fastest Sense Rom

As of right now what is currently the fastest/smoothest Sense rom that is still being supported by the dev? Any comments are appreciated
As far as still supported you might be hard to find consitency...
My opinions would be for:
TeeROM 3.0 - developers "final" version
Stock+ 3.01 - Not getting active dev but its by far one of the best Sense roms.
McSense 2.6 - Another solid but non-dev rom
Edit: The likelyhood of finding a sense rom 2.1 or higher that is fast on the incredible is very unlikely. Way to resource needy.

My port of MikG is snappy and trouble free. Of course I could be a little biased. Lol. But seriously. It is the best Sense 2.1 + ROM as far as stability and speed. That's why I ported over the newest version for us. Try it at theMikMik. MikG Incredible forum. I think you'll be pleased.

I'd say any of the Sense 1.0 roms should be fine. If you want one without bloat, or many tweaks, Liberation 3.0 would fit the bill. It's been tested for stability. It is the final version though.
McSense is also a good choice for some theming and tweaks.
I just avoid any rom based off of another phone (port). Including Sense 3.0+
Personally I run a custom cm7 kang that I've stripped down and removed everything I deemed unnecessary. Turned off animations, use Launcher Pro, and it flies faster than any Sense rom.

What parts of sense are you wanting intact? If you're simply looking to stay away from AOSP, my experience with Insensitive Minimalist has been excellent. Very fast and designed to be highly customizable. I like it so much for its stability and compatibility I keep flashing back to my backup of that while I wait on issues to get hammered out of ICS. My other dinc is running Stock+, so if you want a ROM that is mostly stock, its also good. Inc Ultimate looks like its worth a try, but I haven't gotten around to it.
Ultimately, "still in development" is something I don't think applies to any sense Rom at the moment, as most of the really active devs seem to have moved on to other devices.
I flashed MikG and so far I'm loving it How is it with Gingertiny kernel?
I haven't tried them all, but have tried a few of the Sense 3.5 roms - and of course my stock Sense 2 roms - Virtuous Unity, Sense...quite slow and laggy.
Also tried BeatMod Bliss Sense - again same story...slow, laggy.
But just switched from G-Lite 2 (non sense rom( to MikRoms MikRunny 1.0 and for a Sense 3.5 based rom it's FAST. Faster than my original slow Gingerbread ROM, actually!
Add Supercharger script and a SDcard partition and you're flying ;-)
Oh I have a Desire Z, so RAM/speed is a real issue. So impressive that a ROM could run anything about Sense 2 at anything but prehistoric speeds :-D
