G2-sense rom question? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just came back to the g2 after leaving the g2x. I'm rooted any running CM 7.1. I'm looking for a sense rom with little problems. I don't care if its froyo or gingerbread I just want something that doesn't have the led, mms or missing sms problems. What are your suggestions? Thanks

Virtuous Unity has no CRT animation so no LED problems.

it does have sms problems though, this one is going to be your best bet VIRTUOUS SENSE

I have it downloaded but unsure about trying just yet? Have you ran this rom and how did u like it?

I would suggest Virtuous 1.0.2. It is a Froyo Sense 2.1 ROM that is very stable. The only issue with it is when you use one of the non-standard kernels there are screen-wake issues. This is solved by using SetCPU or CPUTuner and setting a broader range of frequencies in the screen off profile.

I tried virtuous 1.0.2 and it was extremely laggy. I took a while to scroll from screen to screen and open the app drawer. I liked the way insert coin ran but couldn't get past the led problem.

Did you use CWM or Rom Manager to flast 1.0.2? RM is not a good way to flash roms as it can be alittle tempermental.
Also, when you flash, reboot before you do any configurations. 1.0.2 has scripts that run on first boot which may give you a false first impression.

Suggest a ROM for me

So I have rooted my EVO running froyo, now I want a better rom than just a rooted stock one. I am trying to find a froyo rom with sense, overclocking, 4G, wifi tethering, and 802.11N. Any suggestions??
Why don't you search the development forum and read the roms. They all are different. And some have bugs that WiFi or 4g isn't working. Overclocking deals with kernel not Rom. I suggest doing some reading in the forum and read stickies in each forum. WiFi tether is an app you download from the market. Yet again nothing to do with a Rom. Some roms include it as why you should read up the roms.
Edit: and what do you call better? You will end up trying bunch of roms before you find one you like over the others. I suggest try a Rom. Using it for a day or 2. Nand backup and then try another Rom. You might like how its setup or the features of the Rom.

I've been happy with Fresh roms, and like #2 poster said, which is the same thing I did was try out a few roms and determine which one you like.
Ditto. I stayed with CM6 after testing several roms.

Been on Calkulin's EViO ROMs for quite some time. I have Nand backups of Fresh and BS but I come back to EViO for 99% of my use.
So why Evio? Any specific perks?
Fresh 3.2 with launcher pro and sense disabled. Vanilla lock clock and apps. With a side of handcent and swype! Best tasting rom ever! Lol

How do you "disable" Sense? Do you mean the lock screen mod?
I'm guessing when you hit home and ask you to pick with launcher you want to use he checked to use the one certain launcher. Sense still runs in the background..

Get the pro version of titanium backup and you can freeze sense so it never runs.

Fav ROM?

which roms do u guys like the most? and please say why?
i am currently using HOTSAUCE ROM and loving it. but battery life was draining way to quick.
VIDEO TAKING WAS LIMITED to 30 minutes.
so i installed Virtuous v0.9.0 Sense but wasnt very customizable so i switched back to HOTSAUCE ROM.
also has unlimited time for VIDEO TAKING.
(video is important to me)
GingerVillain 1.5
Why?
I like gingerbread, it's fast, OC'd @ 1,4 GHZ and battery life is pretty good.
CyanogenMod. It's the best. 'nuff said.

Latestly CM 7 build is smooth, Cyanogenmod roms always ooze quality.

select the link in the post, advanced kernel allows OC to 1.49ghz but requires setcpu parameters.
I've tried a lot of roms, and let me say that Virtuous is an awesome rom if you like the Sense UI. Awesome. I just had a problem with one app fc'ing all the time, so I started trying others. I am staying on the Cyanogen Nightlies, because they run so quickly and smoothly, especially with pershoot kernel.
I have not tried GingerVillain since I'm having so much fun with the nightlies.

[Q] Which ROM?

Alright guys I feel like I've flashed like ten different senseless roms by now with no dice... I'm looking for a Rom that has the gingerbread look and feel of OMFGB, salvage mod, or cm 7 but that still incorporates sense features. The sense features I really want are the contact list with Facebook sync and the camera apk..... with the sense camera a user can tap the screen where they want it to focus.... this is a big deal to me and all gingerbread roms so far can't do these things.... the closest thing I've found to my liking is skyraider Athena but unfortunately Athena is froyo...... I want gingerbread. Any help?

I agree, if you're still wanting sense but with a couple cm7 features then skyraider fits the bill.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The above statements are factual.... Skyraider 4.0 is the way to go
Alright....so Skyraider is a bit too sense-y for my liking....I didn't want full sense but rather sense apps....BUT I actually forgot posted this thread til just now and hadn't seen any replys..I actually ended up flashing Skyraider 4.0 before I even saw recommendations....let me just say this is the best Rom in the world. I didn't like sense because it was laggy but the way that sense is incorporated in this build is beautiful. I flashed chads 12/23 kernel on it and the combination is awesome...and it runs seamlessly while underclocked to 844! Plus my battery life is just beautiful compared to other roms....and no overheating problems! I have found my phones god send lol.thank you guys for the help and to anyone reading this thread that hasn't tried SR 4.0 I really recommend you give it a shot. Thanks guys

Not sure if you have tried it yet but you might want to check out Lou's #8 kernel for your SkyRaider. I had really good results using it, but you millage may vary.
Lous kernels confuse me....I don't understand all the multi touch hocus pocus
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Multitouch is just the ability for the phone to recognize 3-10 separate touch points simultaneously. Only use I know of is for gaming with emulators where you have your controls on screen.

Its older but a good senseless rom is skyraider athena. Get it on rom manager.

[Q] Sense 3.0 Lock Screen for an Unrooted Desire Z?

Hello everybody. I have an unrooted Desire Z with Gingerbread and Sense 2.1. Because of feeling noob, I am scared to root my Desire Z, but also I really want to use Sense 3.0 lock screen. Is there a way for me?
Thanks
Not without rooting I'm afraid. I'm currently using virtuous 2.0 which is based off the official DZ GB release. With the sense 3.0 lockscreen and it rocks.
If you need help rooting head over to #G2ROOT irc and they will be happy to help

Any way you could link to a thread/post on how to get that lockscreen on ROMs other than Unity? I remember seeing bits and pieces of how but I cant search because I'm on my phone at the moment.

Doesn't that suck up a ton of memory?
You must root your phone. I recommend Virtuous Unity or Virtuous 2.0, both with the overclocked Unity B4 kernel. Good luck!

I am using the sense 3.0 lockscreen with Virtuous 2.0 as well. Whilst I dont play lots of 3d games etc I dont have any problems with memory.
It really does run well.
Running Sense 2 OR 3 requires, in my opinion, removing unneccesary apps with Titanium to free up space. I took out WiFi calling, the drm, the email and stock apps/widgets, and Facebook/Twitter.

I have installed that app and it works nice. but sometimes I have to unlock both lockscreens original one and agile. Is there any other way to replace the original one.

Download "No Lock" from the market. It disables the stock lockscreen so you can use agile lock or any other lockscreen
does anyone know if you can delete the stock htc 2.1 lockscreen using titanium back up??
thanks

[Q] Does adding swap from the SD card help with Sense ROMs?

Subject says it all. I am curious on first hand opinions, before I backup my sd card and try it. All Sense 3 or greater roms lag or get rosie reloads to much for my liking.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
My DZ is running Virtuous Trentacinque beta at the moment with swap. So far I haven't had a single rosie reboot. It is running nicely and is very responsive
In my experience it helps a lot.
