Which roms for the Dinc is the snappiest and quickest that has sense 3.0 features? (i.e. lockscreen)(By features I mean it doesn't have to be a pure sense 3.0 rom) So far, the ones I've tried have been a little sluggish..
Optimized shift is a good 2.1/3.0 rom and newts hybrid 3.0 is good as well, both fast..

For pure speed and overall consistency, as my experience goes, I prefer Nils Business Gingersense 2.1/3.0. I haven't gone too far with 3.0 roms, I wanted to give them time as I enjoy the 2./3.0 roms. Btw, at this point it's rather difficult to find a gingersense rom with no 3.0 lock screen haha
I highly recommend Newt's Optimized Shift or Nilsp Gingersense 2.1/3.0. Both of these roms are nearly perfect. I haven't found any flaws with Optimized Shift and it's my daily driver. That or fowty's Inc 2 rom.

noob question; with Nils Business Gingersense 2.1/3.0 it looks like the 05.02 radio comes recommended, does the radio get flashed before the ROM flash or after?
I don't think it was necessarily recommended but people had reported decent response. I don't think nils was going to recommend any radios because any perceived benefit has a lot of variables like your phone and location.
In any case, it doesn't matter when you flash the radio, it will stick until you flash a different one.
Makes perfect sense, thanks.

So I finally got my wipe to upgrade from her dumbphone to a smartphone (Droid Inc.) and I'm looking into what are the best ROMS available *if* she lets me hack her phone.
I'm new to this arena since I have a Droid X so I want to know from people's experiences what is the best ROM for the DInc? From doing a quick look through it seems like CyanogenMod 6, SkyRaider Sense or Redemptive rEVOlution might be possible candidates.
I know the CyanogenMod ROM is one of the big ones but I'd like to keep the Sense UI on her phone to make it as easy as possible to use for her (and I do like HTC's overlay.)
So any thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?
Try out redemptive revolution 1.9. Good battery life and very stable.

I use SkyRaider 3.3.2 with LauncherPro Plus and GOTO as a lock screen and have no problems. I too love HTC Sense, just decided to play with LPP.
Heads up: There's a "General" Incredible subforum for these sorts of posts.
*make sure you know what version of the dinc she has, amoled or slcd,some roms and recovery won't work without fixes* that said redemption rom is currently my fave, otherwise virtuous rom. theres also red raven and feather but wouldn't recommend those for your wife. I believe theres a rom that sum1 made with a pink theme somewheres also but don't quote me on that. if you do any of these look for the new leaked stock kernel, has a lot better battery life and charges in half the time.

I love Cyanogen, if you're looking for Vanilla ROM this is a great choice. I'm using CM6.0.2 right now and I love it. CM6.1 RC1 should be dropping very soon, it's not 100% stable but Cyanogen himself it could be used as your daily driver

I'd stay away from the Desire HD and Z ports until the camera issues are resolved.
I'm using redemptive revolution 1.9 and loving it right now. It just got updated with new framework so its the latest and greatest in my book!
I love the Desire Z port from IncredibleDoes but some people need the camera or would like to have the cam, if that's the case try SkyRaider 3.3.2 its the best one out there for me.
Uncommon Sense
I will stick with Uncommon Sense Rom, its the most Stable free bug HTC Incredible Rom, the feels is likely Sense OEM manufacturer, I did not find any lack at all with the exception of APk Drawer little lag scrolling up. as well is the best of the two world android/Sense blended.
All the rest of the HTC Incredible Rom have several problems that have to be address and for sure Updates will be available to Roms like Sky raider and Virtuous.
Most ROMs are good, but also aren't 100% done. To be honest, if you wife uses her phone a lot and isn't a tinkerer just keep it the way it is lol.
Once camera issues are resolved the desire ports will pretty much be in a league better than any of the custom roms based on earlier sense. I would also strongly recommend miui except that many of the really useful sense widgets have no equivalent ones in aosp roms. I would recommend aosp roms only for people who are ok with constantly tinkering with their phones, not for your wife who will probably want.something that just works.
Until then redemptive, virtuous, skyraider are good choices.

I have tried a bunch of Roms and all of them have their strong points. This is all a matter of personal preference.
That being said, I would recommend Virtuous with the custom kernel or new stock kernel and here are the reasons:
1. It is very stable and fast.
2. Good battery life.
3. Nothing is removed or modded that cannot be readded or turned back on using the tools the developer provided (Virtuous Buddy).
4. Great dev support.
This is not the only Rom I use, but it is definitely the only Rom I would put on my wifes phone.

I would say virtuous or the newest leaked deoxed stock ROM... both using the newest stock kernel.
Only roms I would consider for the girlfriend....
Personally I would just do a few mods to the newest stock ROM minus the bloat.

I switch between Redemption and Redemptive Revolution.
I like Redemption with Kings BFS #5 kernel the best, amazing battery life! It just "feels" good to me.
Wow nice! Thanks for all the recommendations! I don't think I've heard of Virtuous so I'll check that one out.
Also to commenton the tinkering part, she definitely isn't into tinkering...in fact she complains when I tinker with my phone for too long LOL
Going ASOP isn't really an option since the base Android UI is lacking without some extra apps so the Sense UI is perfect for her. I do plan on (obviously) rooting the phone and setting up SetCPU but any additional improvements custom ROMS make are always nice to have.

I have used a lot of ROMs, but I have yet to find one that I can use as a daily for more than a week. I am looking for Gingerbread, Sense 2.1 with elements of 3.0 or full 3.0, stability to use as a daily and, while it is not my biggest priority, good enough battery life that I should be able to make it through a full day. Any suggestions? I have used Optimized Shift (FCs make it unusable for me), Synergy, and Hybrid 3.0.
Thank you.
give nill's gingersense a try.
2.1 or 3.0 hybrid?

I recommend the full 3.0 ROM
I've tried most and keep coming back top nils 3.0
Best? That's not answerable, every person has his or his own standards.
I find Nils' Business_GingerSense_3.0-v1.4 to be eminently stable and pleasant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175842.
I alternate between that and MIUI, finding it tough to prefer one over the other.
I've been using Nils 3.0 for the last few days and it works great. Thanks.

Im using the Community ROM and it is great.
Then again I have turned off all animations though.
I am putting a custom rom on my wife's phone for the first time. She doesn't really do anything major on her phone. She has gingerbread and it just got rooted. Any suggestions on a good rom to use? Thanks.
Besides being in the wrong section, miui is a great asop rom. If you want a little sense 3.0 check out newt's sensation. Rmk has a debloated version of the latest ota gingerbread if you fancy something more stock.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
besides why she needs a custom rom?
I have been trying alot of these out last couple days but i havent tried the sense 3.0 been having best luck with miks new sensation 1.1 though
If you need GSM for international travel, select carefully. Most ROM's don't support it well or at all in many cases. If you are CDMA only, your choices are more solid.
I've tried miui and cm7 and in my opinion cm7 is just a snappier and better ROM. Just my opinion though

CM7? Which one is that?
BTW, as to why she might want a custom rom, speed...right?
Really all of the roms out now are pretty nice...
Being for a girl I'd think shed lean toward liking miui or a sense 3.0 based roms like virtuous or mikroms incredible sensation. The latest version from newtoroot (incredible sensation) has given me the best results. Very fast and stable and newt has been very responsive with the few quirks. by quirks I mean that his version is based on sense 2.1 so there was more he had to do to get the framework to align. It is definitely good enough to be a daily driver now.
Cm7 and omgb/omfgb are probably the fastest roms out. I really like omfgb combined with the tiamat kernel but cm7 is similarly great with more customization options (most of which your wife would likely never use). Omgb/omfgb is very back to basic, pure Android experience.
Rmks gingersense has been mostly my go-to though. Similar to stock, debloated, customizable. Pretty much a set it and forget it option with no issues. The only thing that aosp based roms have that I have an issue with is the incall volume. Tiamats kernel improves this a lot but still not quite where stock sense is in volume level.

I'm looking for a fast, stable, 100% working rom that won't break on me and just function as it should.. I am running the last RUU rooted but I've been so used to Sense 3+ roms I just can't do it anymore.. I also love AOSP but as petty as it may sound I can't stand the camera performance that comes with it... Opinions on the best are always welcome but I'm looking for function...

I've noticed Newt's DINC2HDrls 1.1 is quite stable. But that's just my two cents.
I personally prefer Newt's Sense roms above all. I'm on AOSP right now, but occasionally I'll flash back to Newt's Incredible 2 HD just to mess with Sense. It's Sense 3.5 and I gave it like a 15-20% overclock and I didn't lag once. There's a great communtiy over there, and tons of mods to get you whatever you want from your phone.
Here lately I've been having issues with newt's hd rls 1.1 ... when I turn Rosie on and use the shortcut widget my HTC sense just constantly reboots... It's not an issue with the rom or a bug so I don't know what I'm doing wrong there..

Well the Shortcut Widget is almost entirely made by him since the official one would have taken so much work. I don't see that being a reason enough for me to stay away.

I know. I just find it odd that it would be happening.. I just posted in their bug thread so hopefully I'm not alone..
Virtuous Affinity is the way to go. Sense 3.5
Newts ROM is great too - but Virtuous flat out runs better - and this is with many email syncs and data syncing.
Try both - You may favor one or the other.
Try the latest CM7 nightly #134 with Aeroevans .7cfs kernel. Then get the MIUI camera.apk and download. You have yourself a totally customizable, stable, fast, nothing to worry about rom. That is always my go to rom
Ialso love virtuous for my #1 sense rom
Tap'n on VIRTUOUS incredible 2
RMK's gingersense if you want stock. SkyRaider Zeus is amazing with a ton of customization. If your looking for the newest sense rom RCmix3D is my personal favorite and ran smooth. Haven't tried virtuos though..
I love Affinity. Newts Roms are nice until he gives up on them. However his HD rom kept giving me problems every fresh flash and he isn't big on helping

+1 for Affinity.
Running the latest one and it's excellent. Sense 3.5 is great.
Have you tried TSM GingerbangSense 3.0? I'm new to Inc2, but it seems very stock and very stable...I had to check the bootanimation to make sure it wasn't stock!
As you all know I love miui...it has beauty like a sense Rom, stability, and its fast as hell...I recommend miui build 1.10.28..very stable and customizable.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I had really good luck with the HD roms and Unity for Sense based, but I do go back to MIUI or Liquid for AOSP once in a while.
I think the next on my list to try is Affinity.
I've tried nearly every rom available and am back to inc2hd. It just seems the most polished to me. Can't stand aosp after having all the awesome perks of sense. Though I do like Miui.

For those who have used it, how good is Skyraider Zeus? I have tried Skyraider 4.3 on my DInc, and I have to say it's my fave alt ROM. I am running Jermaine's de-bloated stock + on my DInc now. Obviously also a Sense fan, so it would be good to get opinions from people who've used it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
100% stable, with amazing features you won't find in any other ROM - SkyRaider Zeus.
If you want to explore the new Sense versions, NEWT's Incredible H RLS1.1 is the way to go as it's Sense 3.5
If you'd like to try a Sense 3.0 ROM I would suggest nitsuj17's TSM Trinity ROM
Or NEWT has a few options for Sense 3.0 Including his Inc3d ROM, and his Incredible sensation ROM, I personally dislike Sense 3.5 and think Sense 3.0 is a better choice, but SkyRaider Zeus is the best Sense ROM I've ever ran. I would highly suggest that as an everyday ROM.

Zeus 1.3 is honestly the best Sense ROM I've ever ran. I also used skyraider 4.3 for my Incredible1, and absolutely loved it, Zeus is basically that ROM on steroids. The options that are included into the ROM are simply incredible. I also get the best battery life on this ROM out of the rest.
My vote goes for skyraider Zeus. Most stable rom I've ever used on any phone, also very customizable. That was the only rom that could get me away from MIUI (only bug in MIUI that I run into is having no voice commands while connected to Bluetooth)

What's the best Sense 2.1/3.0 Mix Rom? Needs to be fast with as few bugs as possible. Using MikG right now, I like it overall but it has that emmc problem and my texting has been spotty recently.
I vote for McTwist
Nils' Business Sense was built with emphasis on stability.
Inc'd with the XDA app
BGS by xdadevelopers-user is a combination of the two aforementioned roms; the stability of Nils Business Gingersense and the stock look of McTwist; highly recommended.
MikG seems to be stable now that the EMMC issue has been fixed, but I have yet to test it for myself... Its downloading now!
