[Q] Best GingerSense ROM - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Fastest stable sense Rom?

So I'm looking to get a new Rom. What is the fastest stable sense Rom in your opinions?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
First off, this doesn't belong in the "Development" section.
But that aside, I'd say SkyRaider 4.0 is a good one. Magnolia is fast and stable with a nice "matte UI". Lou's are good as well (Redemption ROM, Redemptive rEVOlution). SkyRaider 4.0 has the added bonus of being extremely customizable with options not in other ROM's yet. And more mods and themes are on the way.
My bad, I thought I pressed the general tab... stupid phone... can a mod please move this. Thanks....

I knows Lou's I'm running the old redemption rEVOlution now, but I seem to be having problems with newer apps and games running choppy when I'm double the required and framework tends to crash too often... now I also am unable to direct install to SD.... that's why I'm looking to upgrade.
As for Sky I didn't know he had a new one, saw he was working on "Athena" but it was horribly buggy from what I read. Is 4.0 that good and nice on batt?

Check out Optimised Sense by Newtoroot, pretty new but its fast.
Skyraider 4.0 hands down. It's the most stable ROM i've used and is great on battery life. I use my phone a lot and can go all day no problem with the stock battery.
Hmm, I have been stuck on CM7 for who knows how long but I flashed Skyraider 4.0 and have absolutely loved it. Skyraider 4.0 has elements of CM7, the Z roms, and the S roms built in. It's fast as hell, and it's the first Sense rom I stayed on for more than an hour in about 3 months.
If SR4 isn't for you (I can't imagine why) then go with a Z rom, maybe Warm Z nightlies or the Incredibly Re-Engineered Z.
mine of course haha
Z roms rock!

I'm enjoying the customization of cm7 but for sense 1.0 I like skyraider, for sense 2.0 I'd say warm z. Nils business sense looks good too but I haven't tried it as it requires cwm 3+.

Fastest?? Well... Any of the sense ROMs will run differently of course, but that is easily changed with different Kernels
I'm running Skyraider 4.0 with the stock kernel and it's flawless.

No rom is flawless, there are already atleast 3 threads with different probs with sr, not to mention issues on main thread. All roms have quirks, its all in what you can live with.

Go for it folks
I gotta cast my vote for Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.4. I've been always coming back to this super ROM. Chingy51o has put in a lot of work for this ROM to run smoothly and it shows.
If you are looking for leaked sense 2.0 roms download any rom that is a "Z" rom.
for the best sene ROM, skyraider 4.0 is it. most features, devs will be stealing his features they are so nice. I haven't had a hiccup since installing 4.0 fresh. lou's #8 kernel. easily get two days of battery. LOVE it.

[Q] Most stable. Sense 3.0 rom

I'm a diehard aosp Rom flasher because I like the customabilty and flexability they offer. My wife on the other hand is used to the HTC sense experience but she wants me to root her evo, so I"m asking all you Sense lovers out there to weigh in on the most stable Rom's using Sense 3.0, she"s gonna be mad if i constantly have to fix her phone. Thanks in advance for your opinions!

ok your question is the most stable 3.0 sense rom.. u havent got any answer cuz theres no 3.0 roms yet i believe.. the only ones ull find are the 2.3 theres too many out there that are stable.. i was using the salvage 1.2.1 for me that rom was stable and everythng works the battery life for me was very good i didnt have any problem with that i was satisfied with that rom.. no problem at all.. oh yea i forgot just one problem random reboots. but thats like once a week. no no problem with that.. right now im testibg the miks rom 2.3 with sense 2.1 and some other stuffs with sense 3.0. i forgot to mention that the salvage 1.2.1 was senseless.

lol sorry man, but i havent really had a stable rom they all have the same issue which is that the lockscreen takes a long while to load and sense keeps on restarting with my phone so yeah for me, none yet
Might I suggest MikG, if you want Sense 2.1 with a lot of 3.0 ported over? I would say that the most stable 3.0 ROMs are based on the Kingdom port, so look for Virus's ROM. I also like BeKinged, which has a lot of bloat removed.

But if you want stable and new, i would go with sense 2.1 alot more stable, and alot of them have sense 3.0 apks that are flashable. plus its a update from sense 1.0, a couple new features.
for the sense 2.1 roms use the search button theyre are alot of them.
hope this helps, if so thanx button is there for a reason
MikG or AVA... seems like the rest just theme off of their ROMS
Thanks for the info, but there's no Thanks button on mobile app so THANK YOU!

I've been using this for a few days now. With this ROM, the new OTA kernel, and the new radio, my phone is getting great battery life and it's running very smoothly.
The only thing that i have noticed that isn't working on this ROM, after flashing the new kernel, is Google Earth. It force closes a lot. Hopefully the next version of the ROM will correct it.
The MikG is probably the best of them all with its 2.1/3.0 hybrid. I haven't been happy with the full blown 3.0 sense ROMs. I like for everything to work including cameras, video, 4G etc. I'm gonna wait for the EVO 3D a device that was actually designed to run 3.0. It reminds me of people running Vista on a Pentium III.
Went with Saks Virus port... my girl totally loves it, no issues yet (fingers crossed)

Best Sense 3.0 ROM For Evo?

Is there even a fully working Sense 3.0 Rom out there?
And if so what ROM have you had luck with?
I am useing CM7 but wanting a little bit of a change so looking at going back to Sense and would like 3.0.
Thanks for the input!
James
you might get some people saying Synergy will be the way to go...but its still in private beta so dont be expecting to be getting the links to it.
as for public ROMs:
you can go with either MikG ([ROM] - [MikRoms] - [6/22/2011] - MikG v2.1 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0) or Virus's Kingdom port (|ROM|JUN 10| VirusROM Kingdom REVOlution |B1.3|2.3.3|SENSE 3.0| - xda-developers)
MikG is a hybrid between Sense 2.1 and 3.0 to make it stable (it does not have the carousel rosie)
VirusROM Kingdom REVOlution is a port from the Gingerbread leak for the upcoming HTC Kingdom (which is kinda like a smaller slightly version of the Evo 4G with the Evo 3D specs [minus 3D]) so its full 3.0 sense
if i were you i wouldn't want a fully sense 3.0 the files are just too big and don't think theres one fully stable.
But there are a couple 2.1/3.0 roms out there and there great and everything works from what i know (maybe not 4g) and there pretty stable
Alliance Rom ( i use the stock version but theres also a Themed one, works great.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120734
& Virus (of course) great rom and there instruction if you want to partition and speed it up
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071547
1 more that i know of and thats Mikg. this is the peoples choice from what i have seen and i can't argue. i use Alliance just because the stock one looks better. but im about the looks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038967
Enjoy and don't be scared to hit thanks
o yea forgot about Alliance! that one works too lol
like Joey said....a full 3.0 ROM will take up WAY too much space since the files are huge...you are better off going with a 2.1/3.0 hybrid
I have installed and used all 3 of these ROMs and MikG is the fastest and most stable; IMHO.
hyrbid sense 3.0 themed or virus rom kingdom revoulution
I have tried all three, and until the last couple of days, Virus was my favorite. Virus gives constant updates and support of his ROMs
MikG is also quick with his updates and helpful*
Thanks for all the input! I tried a few but found myself changing so much I think I am just a fan of asop roms. but still thinking of giving on a week with out changing much to see if I can go back to sense.
The one thing I really like is the lock screen! I would love to have that on cm7.

Agreed, this would be great
Im using sacs kingdom port and its running great. Been on the v7 and haven't had any fc's or sense restarts. Only thing I can think of that its not working is the watch app.
Virus Kingdom would be my choice.

I just installed v8 and this thing is amazing I didn't think these ROMs could run this smooth on our phones and I'm trying to kill the battery to calibrate it and I've been on it since about 6 this morning and its 12:40 and I'm at 43% thats not bad I've been using the hell out of it trying to kill the battery.

I'm running MikG's latest ROM, and love it. Super fast, and my battery life is pretty good to.
I my opinion the best full 3.0 sense rom out now is Kinged Kingdom RLS2. It is smooth as butter and is odexed.
I have to go with synergy, I've not had a single problem! And the second release even has the panoramic camera!

Do any of the 3.0 ROM's have hdmi out?
If not is that implemented on hybrid versions?

[Q] Best Rom with Sense 3.0 features?

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..
Sent from my Incredible using XDA Premium App
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.
Sent from my Optimized Shift using XDA App
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.

I really like the Synergy ROM.

Lots of roms...suggestions?

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.

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.
