[Q] Touchwiz 4.0 - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know there are those out there that don't like it but i like it (sense is still my fav) but I was wondering if there was a touchwiz 4.0 rom for the HTC Incredible?

Not possible, or it would be really really hard. Tw uses no ramdisk, sense does. Frostincredible tried doing a port of it from the charge, but i couldnt get it to boot.
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-

Ok....thanks

It's not Touchwiz, per se, but the launcher is the most important part of a UI, right?

Can't argue with that. Thanks for the link

Hey G2, desire z and nexus one have a gingerbread sense rom. How come no devs started to try to get porting gbread sense to incredible?
Check out the warm z twopointtwo Nightlies.....its extremely nice gingerbread look and feel with sense 2.0....much nicer then the stock Rom. Not quite gingerbread but it looks pretty sambhar close

I would imagine that after the OTA GB update, most ROMs will be based off it?

Yeah, my main draws to Gingerbread were the performance improvements. I actually noticed my incredible clocking at higher speeds a little better with CM7 nightlies. However, I missed sense apps too much like the camera, facebook contact integration, and the dialer/lockscreen.

Does any Rom feature Sense 2.0 with the leaked GB?

With the new leaked GB out, HTC only included Sense 1.0 with it. I wanted to know if there is any rom that is based off the leaked GB but running Sense 2.0 and is close to stock looking rather then extremely customized.
Most of the Rom devs don't list whether they are using Sense 1.0 or Sense 2.0.
virus just released a disire hd port with sense 2.1...i havent tried it yet but im downloading as i type.
Yes, virus' rom has 2.1, and it's nice (as is most of his roms). Not getting as good of battery as I'd anticipated, but nice never the less.

Virus' Gingersense has been fun. I suggest anyone give it a shot.

Yup real sense is the best but if its sense 1.0 i am not looking forward to the gingerbread leak but what i am looking forward to is a gingersense kernel with that we can finnaly port sense 3.0.
same here. But I'm worried 3.0 is going to lag very badly

Not necessarily theres been a new leak specifically of the htc kingdom which runs on sense 3.0 but has a single core 1.2 ghz processor so that may help on the lag problem but it 's runs pretty smooth on phone with single cores the doubleshot leak rom for the mytouch 4g is pretty smooth and so is the desire hd port.
Edit: I check 911 Sniper Htc blog religiously ever since the evo gb leaked lol like seruously every five minutes im on my laptop i check his blog hoping for something like Incredible_GB_VZW_WWE_4.12.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.04.08_NV_208_release_183986.zip

What will be nice is once you do get a 2.3 leak there will already be a mostly working Sense 3.0 for the Evo, so it would be an easy port right?

I don't care for the actual rom since it's basically outdated with sense 1.0 now all i care about is that kernel so we can port over some nice sense 3.0 roms.

OTA

If I were to restore to my stock backup, and tell it to update, will it take my root? I'm kinda thinking about unrooting, just cuz I'd like to go back to stock..... I think. Someone please tell me what will/might happen if I tell it to take the update.
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
Why not just download a rooted stock rom? Going back to stock if you unroot gains nothing. Unless you are taking the phone back.
Ok. I was kinda wanting to also make sure it was faster and I could freeze stuff if I needed to. I was using skyraider yesterday, but my speed went way down. But I also think it could've been due to the mods I was using.
Also,what is the fastest sense based ROM? Like uses least amount of RAM and CPU. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
Stock Rom is definately not faster than custom roms its packed with bloat. I've been using bamf forever seems pretty fast to me

I was using skyraider, but it seemed to eat up memory like a mofo. But, like I said before, I was using some of andybones' mods like the transparent settings.apk and such. Would that cause it to eat up more?
If you are already rooted you can install RMK 2.3.4 build which is official and fast and debloated. Buy titanium backup and freeze what you don't want.

Well, I tried newts ROMs, and I thought they were a bit buggy. I tried virtuous and didn't like it. I don't like straight sense 3. I like scrolling wallpaper. I liked skyraider because of that. Any other sense 2.1/3 or even a 2.1/3.5 mix would be sick. Being able to hide icons on the lockscreen and ditch pages. Can someone mix those, or is that too hard?

[Q] What Type of Rom is Wanted?

I am looking to make 1 last rom for the Incredible (For the time being) and would like to ask users what type of rom they would like. I will do my best to make it bugless and awesome. Vote in the poll I post, or if it isn't there, post in the comments.
Thanks,

I love the look of McSense 2.5, and I think a stock, de-bloated, sense 1 rom themed in maybe red or a darker blue would be nice.

How about something like your gingerstock but a sense 2.0 version.

Gingerbread sense 2.0?

There are no Sense 2.0 roms out right now with developer support... I'd keep the 3.x features to a minimum , if any at all. I thought sense 2.0 ran great on our phones, I miss it

What ever you think would be the better advantage.

I'd go with pure inc2, maybe black some things out that are white (status bar is hideous on a sense rom coming from cm7) maybe tweak the status bar icons icons a little bit, optimize it. I'd love a cm7&sense mashup. Cm7 pallet on a sense rom. No white menus for miles
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
I thought of this today. A senseless 3.5 Rom? Haven't seen one yet. Since sense lags a bit on full 3.5 I dumped half the junk and used adw launcher ex and it was fast. Even the personalize still worked on it. I was running joels prime XL. I know if it was purposed senseless it would run better then using root explorer to remove stuff and safer lol.
Id like a fully functional ginger doubleshot rom. Thats what id like.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I want a completely functional debloated stock gingerbread-sense, with all the nice AOSP customizations. I guess what I am thinking of is what Sky Raider 5.0 would be, if it existed.
I think the desire HD, fully functional with no bugs would be awesome! Sense 3.0 by HTC put on a phone with similar specs as ours. Get the bugs worked out, and it would be pretty smooth. Sense 3.0 ran the best of the sense 3.0+ ROMS. Get a solid base, then we could theme it. Please.
