[Q] Question about AOSP roms please. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, ive been trying to find AOSP roms for the Desire but seems they are in much less numbers than sense roms.
Are AOSP roms a good option? Do they provide better performance than sense ones, and is there any AOSP rom that keeps getting updates and support Data2SD? Thank you very much.

I think that there are less AOSP ROMs because most people want Sense.
But usually, AOSP ROMs gives better performace, battery life and are more stable, since they don't have all the extra stuuf that is includad in Sense.
They are the best option IMO if you can live without Sense.
AOSP ROMs are made directly form Android source code (Redux, Oxygen, dGB, Devnull) or CM and the ROMs based on it (as for example GingerVillain, or MIUI, which at least was based on CM7 in its first versions)
About Data2sd, the only ROM that have it included is MIUI XJ XPart, but I think it would be possible to manually add the D2SD script to any ROM

Everything he said I switched over from sense and will never look back, you get better performance, better customizing of the RoM, MIUI has a built in theme manager witch let's you change everything you want. Better battery life not having sense killing battery.
You dont like you can always go back to sense

Since i have rooted my desire i only have used AOSP roms, great roms are Oxygen, CM7, GingerVillain
Now i am on GingerVillain it has support to Data2SD, It has OTA (Villain Setup Application) updates for various stuff of the rom, and with the 3.1 HAVS 1113Mhz + CFS kernel installed through OTA the battery lasts 2-3 days.

[Q] Sense ROM

Do you think Cyanogen would bring out a sense ui rom rather than implementing some sort of sense touch to its roms?
Cyanogen is specifically only for AOSP rom's there is no chance that he will come out with a sense rom and also if you want the design of sense rom's you can use different widgets to achieve that.
Yeah, Sense is not what CM is about. And that is why there are a variety of ROMs from various chefs. If you want Sense, flash a ROM that has it.

Sense kernels

I'm using insertcoin but the battery life is so bad and on every other rom similar, i don't want to change the rom for a while, can u recommend me some battery effitient kernels for sense- based roms? (gingerbread)
Nothing. There is no other kernel ATM - still no source code. you have to wait.

[q] synergy rom + kernel

I've been using the new Synergy ROM for a few days now and everything is awesome, but I really want to flash a better kernel. I'm not sure if I should be using a kernel using BFS or CFS and am unsure which would be best suited for the ROM. I'm still calibrating my battery, but I want my battery to be at its max capacity. Any suggestions?
Note: used heyitslou while on the Warm Z ROM but I don't know how well his kernels will hold up with a ROM that has a lot of sense 3.0 elements.
There are no kernels available that are compatible with gingersense roms. We only have the one kernel from our test gingerbread leak until or rather if HTC releases the official gingerbread ota for our phones. That is when kernel development will expand for gingersense roms.

what rom to choose? :S

hi all... i had recently the rcmixS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988570
now i have the official android 2.3.
However, i would like to use some rom with, if not all, some sense 3.0 features (as in rcmix S).... stable and fast also!
as that rom was last updated in June, i wanted to know if you guys could sugest me some other rom.
Cheers
Just test. The rom you like depends so much on personal preferences.
Try revolution or Aurora.
Revolution v1.5 is one of the best Rom's I've tried so far, very fast for a modded sense Rom, my advice would be give it a try, but beware once you do, you'll struggle to find anything better

Does Revolution lag at all?
I'm using Tabasco's Silky ROM v2.0 at the moment, simply because it's as close to stock as I can get, and is therefore as quick as the official HTC 2.3 ROM.
I do miss some of the cooler Sense features of other ROMs, but they all lagged too much for everyday use (when doing things like opening browser, returning to home, dragging down status bar).
So does Revolution suffer the same lag?
I know it's not Sense, but...
MIUI roms are my favorite roms,
once I tried, every other rom is just boring.
thou i never really liked sense, MIUI was a true discovery for me.
FAST as lighting, very customisable, intuitive...
at least try it
and if you don't like...
go back to boring sense

Honestly Revolution is amazing, theres no lag what so ever, you should give it go m8, I know you will be impressed, V1.7 has just been released today, Not sure what it's like yet as I'm still downloading it
I tried Revolution too and I think it is the fastest sense Rom out there ...
I tried the Data++ 1.5 version with sense HBOOT and there was no lag whatsoever
the only problem I had was that programs kept installing on internal memory !!!!!
I find miui a very good choice. Performance is good. Update weekly.
try aurora with supersmooth rosie (semi 3d, transparent) and supercharger script you'll get full sense 3.0 very fast and stable
i recommend falshing aurora v03 first reboot make first settings and then wipe dalvik and cache and flash aurora v04 after that applie supersmooth rosie and supercharger script the reason for that is if you flash v04 first apps2sd isn't working and v4.1 doesn't include rctweaks
i second the revolution or Aurora... though nothing beats miui..
CyanogenMod or insertcoin
GingerReal2.
Nothing else

Nothing beats LeeDrOiD_HD_V3.3.3_GB - R5...........I go back to it every time.
insertcoin.....although sebastiaans runnymede 3.5 rom is getting there....gonna wait a few weeks for it to settle!
If you're limited to Sense 2.1 + 3.0, I would definitely suggest Revolution, or Leedroid HD. Revolution has custom UOT though. I don't know how that'll click on you.

Modify Virtuous Unity or Sense to use kernel only (or some features)

Hi guys,
I really long try to find a good (and working!!!) OC/UV kernel for my desire z.
Now i tried Viruous Unity and Sense, but there is too much bloat in my opinion.
Now i really want to use that kernel only with its oc and uv features to save battery and gets the device a bit faster.
The unity mod is too big and fills up my intern memory that i get at least 50MB memory free...
Thats a real problem.
Can anyone help me to solve this? To help me to modify the virtuous mod?
With pershoot it will not boot or after boot system will not respond and the phone sticks.
I running HTC stock rom 2.30... With eng-hboot full s-off permroot. If questions needed ask..
Hope for answers. Thanks a lot

Before everyone shows up with their pitchforks, I'm going to try to help you.
1. HTC Sense ROMs only with with "Sense" kernels (e.g. Unity, Virtuous, RCMiX)
2. AOSP kernels will not work properly with Sense based ROMs (e.g Pershoot, CM, Tiamat, ILWT)
3. Pretty much *Any* ROM is compatible with the Virtuous OC Daemon, or Tsubus' ILWT OC Daemon.
4. OC/UV Beater isn't the overclocking daemon, it's simply used to CONFIGURE and CONTROL the OC daemon.
Based on what I *think* you're trying to say you need, you should stick with Virtuous Vision 2.0, but try using it with an alternative launcher (like LauncherPro or Go Launcher) which will improve your experience (the default Sense launcher "Rosie" is pretty heavy). You may also try heading over to tsubus' ILWT thread, and find the link for his "ILWT OC Daemon". Install it, and you may notice a difference.
If you're looking for speed, use an AOSP ROM (CM7, ILWT, Glite, MIUI) and stay as far away as possible from Sense 3.x ROMs. Hope that helps.
Also, wrong section brah.
Ok in other words: as long as i do not flash a custom rom i cant use oc/uv.
But if i don't like the custom roms there is no chance.
Or is there any AOSP Rom available which looks like the stock rom with Sense 2.x?
Because all the roms looks like the samsung layout.
