I use RCMixSCM7/A2SD v2 ROM's by Robocik (the CM7 test3 version is sense 3.0)
or you can try InsertCoin CM7/A2SD v47 by baadnewz
I heard that this one is also pretty fast. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113070
You can try the roms by yourself and then decide which one is the best . Everyone is different and therefore has everyone a different taste .
I'm using InsertCoin cm7 1.08 on my HTC Desire and it works great. Gingerbread plus Sense 3.0 widgets etc
Only flashed my Desire once, but I would imagine once you've done it you can play around with it and flashing it with a diff ROM should be easier/less hoops to jump through.
I'm still using froyo, with gb, I always not enuf space for apps

Currently trying out this AceSMod007
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113070
Its a sense 2.1 & 3.0 hybrid and seems good so far. The reason I went for this over the other choices is that it only requires a 512mb ext3 partition where as the others require a 1gb ext3. If you used ROM manager to partition your sd card you'll probably have a 512mb partition
i dont like the sense roms much, but i fin redux to be a great rom!
it's fast, clean and simple!
I'm currently using the "Sense2.1+3.0 GB InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.0.8" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940), and loving it. It's nice and fast and really smooth.
There's one version for the CM7 HBOOT and one for the stock hboot, so you can choose the one suitable to your setup.
I'd definitely recommend it but like Balu said, everyone's got different taste.
Here's a video of one of the earlier versions of the InsertCoin ROM.

What's the difference between CM7 & A2SD version of insertcoint? Does this takes a lot of space like leedroid GB version?
See sig.
Used to have InsertCoin but I feel this one is just that little bit smoother. Bugger all separating the two, though.

The reason you are mocked is that you asked the equivalent of the question "What is the best car ?". It depends a lot on your own preference and what are you looking for. I see that you are from the States. Do you have a CDMA Desire ?

New to roots optomized hybrid 2.1. (Think thats what its called) stlynergy rom nightlies are also stable. Im back and forth between them and OMFGB nightlies
Where's ma rosie at?
newtoroot's Optimized Shift is awesome. Perfect for daily use.
Aaawww ive got to upgrade to the new sense ><
newtoroot just put out hybrid 1.8. My new favorite. Slicker than Optimized Shift (hopefully as stable... time will tell).
Thats actually what I am using right now. It's overwhelming me haha. Any mods for it yet?
JoelZ has an incredibly (get it) stable Sense 3.0 ROM.
I use ADW instead of the stock Sense launcher, and with that and Fancy Widgets running I still have more than enough memory free.

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.
Well, I've just bought a Desire and I don't know where to start with Roms!
First I've been meaning to try out MIUI for agesss! But its never been ported to a device I've had. (Arc + SGS 1).
What are some good roms to try?
Note: I don't like Sense.
Thanks, Ben.
Well there is pretty much only one miui, so try that if you want to.(they are nice but too iphone'ish for me )
Also as you don't want sense, there is the classic(cyanogenmod with plenty of mods) and then we have a more lightweight aosp rom called oxygen, which i prefer myself. Good luck.
I like my eye candy! I'm not a lightweight person! Cyanogen mod might be an option though... I guess the best way is to flash and find out!
I havent been flashing roms for too long myself but ive been through a fair share. Oxygen has defently treated me well. Fast, stable and leaves plenty of room for apps while still looking good. Its the one I kept going back to until I found sense 3 but i know its not for everyone

If that's the case, maybe go with another Sense ROM?
I've been using InsertCoin rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940

There are also other Sense roms out there... I know of LeeDrOiD, but never used it myself.
Once you're rooted, it's easy to try roms out - flashed cyanogenmod over the weekend, got annoyed at a few things so reverted back to insertCoin
Hi guys!
Can you please recommend a good Sense ROM for HTC Desire? I tried a couple of Sense 3.5 ROMs, they seemed kinda incomplete, slow unstable. Tried a couple of Sense 3.0 ROMs, those were better but had different bugs. Tried a couple Sense 2.1+3.0 hybrid ROMs, same story. It also seems that some devs don't bother updating their XDA threads and the ROMs listed here are not up to date.
I would appreciate if you could suggest a stable Sense 3.0+ ROM that is actively maintained, updated, etc. I hope there is one
Thanks in advance!
I`m using InsertCoin Sense 2.1 A2SD+ 1.1.4 without any lags, bugs and other problems...
Even better you can try InsertCoin 2.3 Stock with gingerbread.
I've been using it from the beginning and it's ok. No bugs until now.
I had used InstertCoin before I switched to Cool3D AceS v3. Now I'm still at Cool3D rom. With the Rosie Smoothness mod it has no bugs and runs as fast as stock rom.

I tried v4: it was extremely slow, had problems with superuser and random FCs. This probably had something to do with not working A2SD, but I decided not to continue with that ROM and thus didn't even try to fix it. Btw, it's made by one of those devs who don't even bother updating their own threads with at least the ROM version number...

Moving to Q&A
I've had pretty much the same experiences as you with sense 3.5/3.0/2.1+3.0 hybrid ROMs and as much as that is what I want to be using, there's just always something about every ROM that stops me from keeping it on my phone.
Even though it's an older version of sense, I keep finding myself going back to Tabasco's Silky ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210178) for sheer stability, functionality and speed. It also still looks pretty damn nice!
I'd definitely recommend you try it until newer sense ROMs are improved

Have been using rcmix 2.1 since June n its flawless...just because there are no updates for rcmix Rom,I'm looking elsewhere too ...just to know what's new n if I'm missing something
I'm currently using IC 1.1.4 with 110926 snq- kernel. Fast, stable and battery life is good. But i think i'll try RevolutioN 1.7 soon.
I just bought the SGS2, and my girlfriend is getting my old HTC Desire.
She tried it for a week, with Oxygen ROM and while generally happy with it, she was underwhelmed and annoyed with a few of the more obvious warts of stock android 2.3. The crappy dialer and the crappy keyboard, to name a few.
I then installed a lot of GO apps on it, GO Launcher EX, GO Dialer, GO Widget etc.
While these are in some respects better, they have other issues.
I am now considering if a ROM with Sense would be a good compromise for her. I will not give her the latest stock 2.2 ROM from HTC, I want her to have 2.3. So it would have to be a 2.3 ROM with Sense on it. And I don't even know which version of Sense. I have only really worked with the one in the stock 2.2 ROM from HTC. I think it is Sense 1.9?
So, can you guys recommend a 2.3 ROM with Sense or a 2.3 ROM and some good core apps (dialer, keyboard, sms/texting etc.) that is girlfriend-friendly?
Thanks in advance
I'd recommend one with the Sense 3.0.

why you pointing to external link when we have a development section full of nice a great ROMs?
I would recommend a ROM with Sense 2.1/3.0 (Hybrid) because the Sense 3.5/3.0 ROMs are a bit too much sometimes for the Desire as I read and heard (in case of lags and so).
But Runnymede is recommended very often.
So I would go with Revolution or InsertCoin which I self am using since a few months and i'm quite happy with it.

And I really dont get the point why you always have to bash the other Roms except Supernova's. Supernovas Rom sure is great but there also other good ROMs (even with Sense 3.0/3.5). They are maybe that not stable and so on but the Users also have different preferences. For some eye-candy is the most important feature, for other it is stability and speed.

Not that I don't bash just supernova, I don't bash either of the Sense 1.9 roms, aosp roms, or even roms which are broken and are advertised as such.
And I have no beef with roms or their developers, but with idiots that turn every rom recommendation thread into this. OK, you're free to do whatever you want, but you can't come and write "Sense 3.5/ICS :drool:, this, this, this and this doesn't work, but it's perfect".
As far as I'm concerned, the scale goes like this: unusable - bad - average - good - perfect. I hope meaning of perfect is self explanatory?
If the op states that he is giving away his phone, Sense 3.5 roms don't have nothing to look for here. Giving away phone with some of it's features severely limited is insanity.
It is you Sense 3.5 users who mixed up priorities here, not I. If the thread was titled "most eyecandy" rom I'd be silent.

I wasn't giving the OP a recommendation for a Sense 3.0/3.5-ROM, I was recommending him a Hybrid (2.1/3.0). And this I can do with pure conscience because the ROM I'm using right now (InsertCoin) is way faster than the Stock-ROM that was originally on the Desire and i havent experienced anything thats not working yet (no reboots, no failures, ... everything is working fine).
Yeah, maybe the Sense-ROMs you are not bashing are a bit faster than the ISC and Revolution Hybrids but there you have an uglier ui, so you have to balance.
Maybe you should testing a Hybrid for yourself because now you are just assuming things.

I want her to have 2.3, and there is no good official 2.3 ROM from HTC. So I guess I might as well try a girlfriend-friendly 2.3 ROM, preferably one that "just works" and that I don't have to help her with a million times. If you can recommend such a ROM, it would be great.
I agree with you that eye candy is not the most important thing here. Usability and stability is. Unfortunately, stock android have usability issues with simple things such as the dialer and the keyboard. And Android 2.3 is a must.
I will never buy her an iPhone, so that's not an option.

Hey there,
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light as to why Sense 3.5 ROMs tend to lag so much? I've tried practically every one from Virtuous Affinity, to RCMix 3D to RunnyMead. By far, I got the smoothest experience from the latter. I tried everything to try to improve performance from removing unnecessary system apps like HTC Watch, to using Supercharger script, to a sd-ext on my SD card. Yet I can never seem to escape lag! Now I'm using a Sense 3.0 rom, that is, Virtuous Unity and it's so much faster and smoother despite its using up a similar amount of space. I really like the 3.5 ROMs but I just can't use them because they're too slow and laggy despite my best efforts to speed them up...
I could be wrong but the sense 3.5 is a port from another phone that may be why. To be honest I dislike sense with a passion. I'm an AOSP type of guy. I'm pretty sure that the developers working on that rom will make it faster. Btw you mentioned your using sdext which one are you using?

OP hasn't criticized the Devs, just asking the technical or specific reason that Sense 3.X ROMs lag in comparison to older versions of Sense.
To some extent, I'm wondering the same thing. Its always said that Sense 3.X takes up more memory than the G2/DZ has to offer. But what exactly is taking up all the memory? For instance, on NRG's RCMix Energized Blue version, he has made for a smooth rosie experience, yet the phone often lags for several seconds when starting apps or going into Settings. Rosie is not the issue alone, since I use ADW as my launcher, and yet the Sense 3.X ROMs still lag.
Hybrid ROMs like Synergy and InsertCoin bring many of the Sense 3.X apps to Sense 2.x (lockscreen, camera, weather and more), and yet those ROMs are much more responsive than Sense 3.x ROMs. So it doesn't seem to be the apps themselves.
If its some component of the Sense framework sucking up memory, has anybody identified what and why, or if it can be removed or modded?

Excuse me, I'm far from ungrateful! I've tried various different ROMs and have offered my feedback on them to the developers so they'll have an idea on which areas to improve. I think the work that has been done has been fantastic such as the recent addition of Ice Cream Sandwich, which will I believe be glitch free. I was merely asking why some Sense 3.0 ROMs tend to be laggy and what have other people's experiences been of them.

1gb, I don't know why they recommended the smallest possible size which causes your phone to run so slow. All of my roms use sdext and I always recommend at least 1gb

I say go aosp its faster then both and you'll have a smoother experience. I'm an aosp guy not sense but stability wise go 3.0
Sense roms take time to break in, especially on the G2.

I use 512mb. Works for me on sense roms. I gave up 3.0 sense cause of the lag. I guess because of the amount of resources it drains there's a performance hit. It became to much of a hassle. My opinion. Still sexy ass rom lol
