Ive flashed a few sense 3.0 roms on my phone i ran kingdom rewind, shooter rewind, synergy, etc. main pet-peeve ive had with those are the lag with the rotating home screens. So i opted to a 2.1/3.0 sense (optimized shift) but it has a bug with auto-correct which changes the letter im typing (ex. when i type m it will show a j n change the letter to that) which is really annoying. I wanted to see wat 3.0 roms are other people using/ having success with, and mainly ones that run fast & smooth.
Incredibly RE-engineered3D runs without lag its still labeled beta but very stable Incredible Sensation and Community rom are both good as well. Wait for the new releases on the last two though
Incredible Sensation, Shooter Rewind, and Community are all very nice.

It is good though not a sense 3.0 rom. Its sense 2.1 with sense 3 elements such as lockscreen and weather. A full sense 3.0 rom has the 3d carousel.

I've tried them all and it really does come down to personal preference.
Try one until you decide on one you like. For me it's NilsP Business Gingersense 3.0. No lags, no issues, the guy always makes solid roms.

Synergy RLS1 has been the best rom I've found. My battery life is close to 2 days and its very fast for me.
But I agree, just figure out what you need to move/copy the important things between flashes and try a few until you find something that works/you like.

idky but whenever i flash synergy, when the phone starts up the locksreen doesnt show up for about 10-20+ mins. im using clockwork 3.0.0.8 i think thats what it is. ill just try community and the new pure shooter roms
Synergy is a 2.1 rom with a few apps
pulled from sense 3.0 roms, it doesn't compare to real sense 3.0 roms.

I love HTC Sense, its so professional looking & has convenient widgets.
I am currently using the HTC Desire Z ROM on my Incredible. It is a port of the actual ROM used on the Desire Z, so it has a very nice customizable menu instead of the basic "+" icon. And it is light & runs pretty smoothly also.
Found here!
But there are several other good Sense ROM's available.
Magnolia is a very nice looking version of Sense UI Here...
Different styles of Sense UI:
Nil's Business Sense Here...

I also recommend using the attached file to flash over your newly installed ROM, it will wake your Incredible without needing to press the power button, using the Optical Touch device instead.
Good luck & hope you find the ROM that is right for you.

Like it was said above, there are quite a few of them out there. But the best one is all about which one YOU like using best. Chcek them all out, make backups, and see which one has the features YOU like the most. Everyone here has their favorite preference, now its time to get yours
My opinion: Best Sense - Incredibly Re-Engineered
My opinion: Best non-Sense - CM7
Once I've used a Z rom I can't use any other sense rom anymore I'd recommend Uber Z. Link in my sig.
For AOSP I'd have to recommend the same old CM7.
There are quite a few good sense roms but I was always partial to Skyraider. The developer has stated that there will only be one more update to it, but its fast, stable, and has quite a few modifications that can be done while still staying true to the overall sense theme.
As for non-sense I have to go with CM7 too. Fast and stable and extremely customizable.
Try as many as possible and throw some different kernels in there too. That's half the fun of rooting.

I'm another supporter of the SkyRaider 3.5 ROM
There's a bunch of really great ROM's here, so I'm sure you'll find something you like.
I like Sense ROMs apps, like the camera and people/phone app look and function much better than non-sense ROMs. With that said, non-sense ROMs are so much faster in my experience.
Best Sense ROM: Magnolia, the developer is seriously committed to providing the highest quality ROM to his users.
Best AOSP ROM: CM7

i did like that one but not the keyboard. yes i could have swapped that out, but i have been using miui for the last few weeks.
i also love sense and am using my first ROM (myn's). i love it and really dont even care to change to anything else at all. Very similar to stock with some enhancements. perfect.
I am a fan of Sense roms. I like Warm 2.2 and Incredibly Re-engineered personally, and was using the Z variant of Warm until yesterday when I switched to try IR Z. I love the speed of both of the Z roms, and the new Sense 2.0 is much smoother than the original.

They have access to htcsense.com which is cool, also they have the super quick reboot. Its generally faster, and is what most of the devs seem to be moving to using.
Skyraider 3.5 is my favorite sense rom. ihtfp is a great developer and maintains very stable and functional roms. Used to be my daily driver and might be once again when the new version comes out.
However, for AOSP I can't stress enough how awesome MIUI has been. It's like a completely different OS but no less beautiful and functional than what we've come to expect. I especially love the built in theme manager. It makes switching things up super easy. The launcher is really smooth too, something I could not achieve on any 2.3 rom no matter which launcher I've used.
Unfortunately MIUI isn't gingerbread yet, but they're going to start releasing gingerbread versions to phones this Friday with a fancy new UI. Can't wait!

Thanks Blockhead. I am new to the incredible but have experience with the droid x. They seems to be different mainly due to the locked bootloader on the x. When flashing roms there is no talk of s-off, radio, kernals, ect. I do have a question will some roms not boot because someone's system is s-on? I ask this because i previously rooted using unrevoked3 and have the superuser icon in app drawer but am still s-on (shown in hboot) i created a backup in clockworkmod recovery. Then i tried to flash Incredibly Reengineered rom and it installed fine but when i restarted it just stayed at HTC boot screen, i waited over 10 min pulled battery and same thing happened where it would not go past the HTC boot screen. I did wipe data, cache, and delvk cache.
Hi, as above I would like to find out which is the best 2.3 Gingerbread ROM with Sense 3.0.
I have updated like probably most to the 2.3 Gingerbread OTA update but Sense 3.0 is missing and probably won't come from HTC seeing as they have stated 3.0 needs the hardware which the DHD isn't in their opinion. But as we know that's bull crap as the DHD can run Sense 3.0.
Just would like to get opinions from frequent ROM users and possibly devs as what's the best one to be looking at as I'm completely new to custom ROM's.

Can't believe senior members asks questions like this that may discriminate among the devs..(I have seen moderators discouraging members who asks the same sort of questions!!)
Any way there are only two sense 3.0 roms over xda... i00 and RCmix.... Shoot them one by one and you may find the best one for you.
well if you insist then... After using RCmix for a while, I flashed an i00, and is working as my daily driver.... no operational bugs so far...
Im stuck at the crossroad too.
What is the difference between i00 5.3 and rcmix Kingdom 0.2?

Hi thanks all, I appreciate the input as I'm new to ROM's I may have been here a while but have just stuck with stock.
Can anyone confirm do both the Kingdom and i00 ROM's have root access already? They both look excellent so I wasn't sure. I'm now looking at ROM's as the 2.3 update all us stock users had really is missing Sense 3.0 so these ROM's actually are better by the looks than what HTC themselves give us

Can either the Kingdom or i00 rom be used for daily use yet?
Just I noticed some functionality like srs isn't working from the bug list. Just wondering which is the closest to perfection?
I have tried both, and the latest Kingdom release beats i00 hands down.
Kingdom's 'Android' widget ratios are just about spot on, so none-Sense widgets display correctly. This is a major issue on i00's, and the deal winner for me.
Very stable (no random reboots or f/c's), good battery life and fine for every day use. The autoinstall is an absolute must.
I tried Kingdom - gallery widget is out of line to the left, Twitter widget not working, other widgets far to small as its for a larger screen, video camera and sound is awful and not sure how that latter part can have optimization for DHD as certainly can't record 1080p on a DHD as it already struggles with 720p in stock.

try warm z twopointwo and use my stock theme if you want it stock found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033311 or try any of the roms in my signature they're pretty much stock
I would try Incubus Stock 2.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052613
I've been using it for almost a month now and I love it. It's solid and stable, and to me...better than SR 4.0.
One of the things I really love about his ROM is that he didn't remove the HTC hub, and everything from the HTC hub works on the ROM except the widgets section and a couple addons. All themes/skins, sounds, and wallpapers on the hub work.
I've been trying out a few other Sense 2.0 ROMs with the DualRom X2 and I always keep coming back to Incubus Stock 2.0
thanks guys, but totally unrelated. i cant get any of the OMFGB nightlies to flash at all. they just boot loop, and loop and loop
I would agree, Warm Z 2.2 is pretty slick. I am currently running their Synergy Nightlies which hopefully soon will become 2.3. Sense 3.0 is great, i mainly use it for the kick-a$$ lock screen. The rest kinda gets covered with Luancher Pro that i run. The nightlies have their share of bugs, but are nearly there.
What do you consider to be the fastest, most reliable SENSE ROM available for the Droid Incredible?
This includes, everything working as it should if it were delivered straight from the factory with no bugs and everything functioning properly.
I am a "Serial Flasher" and it seems that there is always something that makes me want to revert to stock so it will work again.
I don't know, maybe I'm too picky but any answers would really help. Thanks in advance.

I wish I could say the same...but CM7 doesnt have 720p video...so in essence it isnt full featured (of course not CyanogenMod's fault) and it has a decent amount of bloat (languages,etc.) I actually preferred Deck's 2.3.4 ROM more than CM7 - less bloat.
FroYo still has the full feature set but the annoying 'out of space' issue. Magnolia was a pretty nice ROM - probably my favorite.
I would probably go with Liberation 2.0 - gingersense leak without the bloat. Everything worked - even though the battery life is okay - if you want Sense that works.
Im using WD's Inc2 port now...and its pretty snappy. Almost too snappy - probably why at some point Magnolia slowed down its transition and window speeds.
No best roms threads . What is best for you is not best for others. This can be redundant and a never ending story.
Cheers,
Hello guys.
The title says everything.
So.. my personal favourite is sebastian's Runny rom. Pretty smooth and fast for me
And, I have tried MIUI and CM7.
Dont really like MIUI's UI, plus CM7 looks pretty ugly to me.
Sense roms are still the best aren't they?
Sense widgets are pretty useful too!
What about your favourite roms?
Oh no, another thread which will turn into Runnymede gospels
For me anything based on Sense 1.9 will do, although I prefer Neophyte's work.

My favourite ROM would be the one which would hide these idiotic and useless threads.
Supernova ROM from droidzone
Definitely Leedroid 3.3.3r5, I used to flash different ones but I kept going back to leedroid, its the most stable and responsive rom, I use it with newest snq kernel and recommended radio. Its power hungry though but it doesnt put me off as long as battery lasts for more than a day with HSDPA mode on.
Till now its silky rom, very fast with al lot of apps not installed, i like that. But i will try Runnymede soon.. many people recommended it so yeah...

After the Gingerbread syndrome* I'd say it is a reason against. You decide if that is the bunch to be followed.
*The Gingerbread syndrome is severe brain trauma caused by smashing your head against your desk because Desire never received an official update.
My favourite would be Oxygen.
I like the look of AOSP (sense looks cool too though) and absolutely love its performance. This plus great compatibility and constant updates makes it my rom of choice.
Agree! Sense ROMs are cool. I really like LeeDroid ROM. Coming in a close second is RCMixHD.
My experiences with different ROMs
Hi all,
here's my experiences with different ROM's and finally my #1 ROM at the moment.
I have flashed ROMs for 3 months (so I haven't tried all of them).
I am using Desire Bravo with CM7/r2 with latest radio (32.56)
My first experience from a stock ROM was Insertcoins 1.1.2 and it was AWESOME.
Then I flashed a Honeycomb themed mod of Insertcoins ROM, since I loved it very much. However I started experiencing random freezes and crashes.
At this point first Sence 3.5 ports were out and I flashed Blissymedes ROM (v1)(kerraris version of it). It was even more awesome since it was Sence 3.5 and had all the nifty little features that one would miss in Sence 2.1. This however started to act quite unstable within a week or so.
By that time Runnymedes ROM (v1) was out so I gave it a try. Again, after a week or so stability was gone and soft reboots weren't too often.
By this point I got over my "fear" for other-than-sence ROMs and I flashed MIUI
At first it seemed awkward and a bit ugly, but since it has a lot of theming possibilities, I managed to get it to my liking. And boy this was smooth compared to any Sence ROM. Such responsiveness..
I had no problems running it and I liked it but I wanted to try another ROM that has scored high user ratings- Cyanogenmod.
So I flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1. It was okay, nothing really special and I really don't like the default AOSP looks, so I flashed MIUI back and am happily using it ever since.
Only thing I really miss, is Sence's calendar and mail widgets. Clock is nice also. No substitute widget has come close to Sences widgets but I belive that in time we will see even nicer widgets for non-sence ROMs.
I am aware that most soft reboots and freezes might be caused by bad kernel, overclocking etc and not the ROM itself, but many ROMs come with suggested kernels and have pre-set OC daemon.
Hope this sheds some light for some of you
Aosp all the way

Not sure, have tried a lot. Right now I'm on MildWild 1.5 based on Oxygen. Nice and smooth.
There are three ROMs that I really really love(d):
- Robociks expresso sense ROM. I really do miss this one. Fast, stable and beautiful.
- Coolexes AceS port. Also pretty fast, stable and great battery life.
- My current ROM: Runnymede port by seb
No matter what I try always coming back to Oxygen.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I prefer Sense ROMs too..
Runnymede AIO V2.2 Cm7r2 AD2SDX by Seb but with the Blue Glass Runny Edition v4.0 Theme that I am using just now
Prior to that I would have to say Leedroid roms are very stable & very well put together I used them for over a year with only the power drain as a concern
Cyanogenmod 7 for me. But I get tired of roms easy and have to try something else.
