[Q] Sense 3.5 how does it run? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Ok so i recently made the switch from the incredible to the incredible 2 and if you ever had the original you know that anything past sense 2.1 (even that) was slow and choppy as a mo-fo. So now i have the successor with its larger ram and internal storage for apps etc. so now im hesitant to flash sense 3.5 cause of how slow it was on the dinc so i wanted to know how the dinc 2 holds up with sense 3.5? Is it worth it or should i just stay with good ol' sense 3.0?

Sense 3.5 runs pretty good on this phone. How fast or runs will be up to the dev (optimization scripts and stuff).

I am running the recently released gingermede by nitsuj....running great...smooth and stable using stock kernel

Running Inc 2 HD love the beats audio. It does lag somewhat when im downloading stuff, and i recall when i ran 3.0 it wasn't as laggy under these conditions, almost ran normally (there are obvious reasons). Anyway i can optimize the speed to reduce this lag?

[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.
A polished Sense 2.0 for sure

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

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.

Best ROM?

I have been on a flashing marathon lately and would like to know what is the best ROM out right now? I would really prefer the best Sense 3.5 ROM but any will do. P.S. ICS ROM would be number 1 IF it had a working camera

for Sense 3.5, i like MikRunny 1.0.1.. non-Sense 3.5, SkyRaider Zeus 1.3. judging by all the praise these devs earned and their user's comments, imo, these are the cream of the crop and why i chose to use them. no comment on AOSP ROMs, i like my Sense like you do.
I'm also going through several trying to find what I'm the most happy with.
--I tried CM7.2. I wasn't thrilled with the performance and I missed Sense.
--I tried Energized but found too many bugs. I used it for a couple of days and the WiFi, clock, dock, and MMS had issues.
--I tried MikRunny but found it had serious lag. I don't think I ever installed any apps. I moved on to something else quickly.
--I've just installed Magnolia 2.1 Beta 4. The first thing I tried to do was OC to 1.21. It crashed. We will see what else happens.
RC Energized Blue is the best sense 3.5 rom imo. Ran SUPER smooth and battery was amazing.
I forgot about couple other things I didn't like about Energized. The battery only shows 20% blocks. That is too big for me. Also, it doesn't show the level when charging. It only shows it ad being completely dead.
Magnolia 2.1 Beta 4 is looking good so far. He says there is a new theme coming but I don't care about that.

I like mik Inc 2 HD RLS 1.1
Runny Droid ? why not?
Skyraider Zeus all the way. Haven't ran another ROM in about a month.

In that same forum there was a mod for 3G and a blue stock battery, which gave 1-100%, not the 20% blocks.
My favorite ROM would be MikRunny. Runs amazing, and even better with the V6 Supercharger.

Best Rom for GSM... This's my felling...
I'm not big on Sense, but my favorite of the ones I've tried is SkyRaider Zeus. Ran very quickly and seemed to fare on the better side in regards to battery life.

Favorite Sense 3.5 ROM for dinc 2 discussion

I though I would start a thread to get peoples options on there favorite sense 3.5 Rom.
I think the most common Sense 3.5 ROMs are Magnolia, Incredible 2 HD, and Runnydroid. I will add more if you use somthing else as your daily driver.
Edit: Virtuous affinity,Mikrunny
My favorite Sense 3.5 ROM is incredible 2 HD. It has a lot of added tweaks and is fully functional.
So what's your favorite Sense 3.5
Virtuous affinity although I haven't tried the new build. I'm just not a sense kinda guy.
For sense 3. 5, without a doubt incredible 2 hd is the smoothest Rom. Looks awesome with ICS theme

Lol I actually got to help on that theme. I helped ready and junk long before it got released.
I'm hooked on mikrunny right now. Super smooth, stock kernel, stock speeds, stock theme, using the battery bar to name it minimal up top, and loving it.

It does indeed. I don't use it, but it does have it.
I've been running the Mikrunny ROM for a couple weeks now. I have no complaints at all.
Personally, I find all Sense 3.5 ROMs to be somewhat slow and laggy. For that reason I only run Sense 3.0 and lower and AOSP ROMs. In my experience they are far smoother than Sense 3.5. My personal recommendations are TSM Trinity and Bullet.

Turn off the 3d features in the rosie tweaks. It flies after that. Much faster than 3.0 ever was
Bullet 1.4 by the the best Rom I've tried. Kills ICS. Wouldn't go back ICS even if my phone would let me. LOL. Still no luck on black screen. But this Rom Bullet 1.4 is great its sense 3.0 but I like it better than mikrunny. And I'm a huge fan of newt but he's pretty much gave up incredible 2.

I'll give mikrunny a try soon
I don't like 3.0 that much becuase it dosnt have the alternate 1*4 weather and clock widget. It's funny though, sense 3.0 was made for dual core phones, and 3.5 was made for single core phones. To think 3.0 would run better

I was the same way. MikRunny ran horrible for me the first time. Then magic ran awesome. Don't think I did anything different. Except broke ICS from working on my phone somehow.

You guys did a great job with the theme, although the phone dialer is not very intuitive. I swapped htc dialer with the inverted theme one.

Yeah best way to describe it. I can't run ICS along with what appears to be several others. Nobody can figure it out either. Ive ran all ICS Roms up untill about 2 weeks ago. Tried ICS again. Everytime I turn my screen off goes black and when I try to turn screen back on only the bottom lights come up also Rom runs horrible extremely lagged, never had this problem in the past. Wiped everything even sd card. Only thing I haven't tried is rerooting. May be only hope. Wish I could fix it. Drives me crazy. Oh by the way can run cyanogenmod 7 just fine. Along with all other Roms. Weird.

Not to smash your hopes, but I unrooted, s-off and factory stock (rom and recovery) and it didn't help. As I mentioned before, I'm not sure it is necessary ICS related as this started happing earlier this past summer with a paticular MIUI build. Maybe its the way these ICS roms install.

[Q] InsertCoin 1.6.1

For me, this rom has the best sense performance - almost 100% smoothness... But can anyone explain me why when charging my phone it gets better? I mean it's completely chopless...
Is there a way to keep this beauiful smoothness without a charger??? maybe some kernel?
I'm gonna guess it's the OC, it's probably set to be higher while charging, most are
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
That sounds logically. So maybe flashing a kernel from sense 3.5 roms would speed up my cpu some more? I can do it right?
Smooth htc sense? There is no way i guess... I should have bought a wp7 phone...

Anyway, if it's smoother while charging, then that's not necessarily a bad thing. Your charges take a normal amount of time still right?

Well, one rotation is fixed, I HIGHLY suggest flashing taz's 4.0 port, smoother than sense 2.0 on our phone!!!!
Actually i dont know. Most of charging time my dz stays unused. I took it for a second and noticed better performance.

I think 1.6.1 has the virtuous OC daemon, no? Regardless, I'd recommend getting ILWT Tools from the market and using that to install his daemon and change the settings from there (don't forget to press menu > save & apply).
This has worked flawlessly on every rom I've tried, GB or ICS.

Thanks =JKT=,
InsertCoin 1.6.1 + ILWT Tools = sense 2.1 smoother than ever

Favorite Sense ROM?

So I've tried probably 6 or so different Sense 3.5 ROMs including MikRunny, Magnolia, various TSM, and some others... I'd have to say that my favorite one is Magnolia... It is the most stable, smoothest, fastest, with the best battery life. Share your thoughts?
Use SkyRaider Zeus on teambamf.net
If battery life wasn't an issue, I would stick with TSMBullet. I am a stickler for battery life so I would use Skyraider Zeus over Bullet.

Yes skyraider is sense 3.0, and I have been checking mikmik daily for newts release but it will probably have a lot of the same issues as the other sense 4 Roms which at the moment is a deal breaker for me because I need my camera and camcorder as well as mms.

Awesome man, looking forward to it. I like to change ROMS every few weeks... lol it keeps things interesting! I'll definitely be looking forward to that man. Somewhat off-topic but do you have any idea if you can install an OC Daemon on AOSP like CM9 or AOKP?
Coredriod is my favorite sense rom, but I would have to say Skyraider is a close second.
I've been using Mikrunny for a few months now. I have no complaints about speed or battery life.
Newt is working on a Sense 4 ROM. I don't see any Sense 4 ROM being completed till HTC releases the source.
Any work that a DEV does for the community is a favorite of mine.
all of nitsuj17's work I LOVE.
anything mik related- aka, NEWT, MIK, etc.
team BAMF,skyraider (ihtfp69) was my first "favorite" sense ROM, back on the Inc1.
JoelZ
There were many DEVs from the Eris days as well. good times.
Andybones stock was/is great... I loaded it up when my wife was using my phone until she could upgrade. All the flashable mods on a stock Rom was just what she needed.
Skyraider Zeus is solid. Anything nitsuj makes I highly recommend...and he always seems to have cool new stuff and is very active in the forums.

I was happy to see some people from the Eris dev section move up to the Inc2. Maybe we all have an attraction to the little guys in Verizon's line up.
I've loaded Nit's M version of Sense and Skyraider. Both are pretty solid with everything working out of the box. I have both saved right now as nands if I feel like switching back. I personally find Nit's version a little more smoother than Skyraider but that might be do to kernel settings.
