Hey all, my incredible 2 got damaged by a car running over it, but is still slightly functional. I have to send it back now that they sent me a new one. is there anything special I need to do so they wont know I rooted it like factory reset or is it something more? Also, I am looking for a ROM of either Sense or Sense with little alteration, anyone got any suggestions?
Scratch that I found how to unroot but anyone know of a good Sense ROM?

My favorite ROM. I try new ROMs often, but they can't pull me off of SkyRaider. Virtuous Affinity is awesome for people who like Sense 3.5. You also can't beat nitsuj17's ROMs.
Thank you very much . as soon as I root my new droid inc 2 I will try it out.

I know I need a Kernel that supports overclocking before I use something like CPUBoost... which one can anyone recommend that is stable and would allow this.
Sorry this is my first time posting in this forum... was using the Eris up until yesterday.
Thanks in advance.

It's all preference, depends on if you are using an AOSP rom or Sense rom. Try them out for yourself and then decide, everyone gets different results.
I'm just throwing this out there we can only overclock our phones a wee bit and it for me at least destroys battery life.

I am looking to underclock for the most part with screen off settings.... I want to get a full day out of this phone somehow.

honestly you could probably get away with just installing some of the AOSP kernels floating around the Dev threads...I LOVE invisibleks line of kernels, #28 is a champion for me...but I believe the new Tiamat line of kernels is concentrating on aggressive undervolting...I would give them a try
Might try that... it's weird, coming from an Eris, there's definitely a more professional way about this forum. BUT (big but).... the ROM's seems to be overall more incomplete and I am worried about losing somee functionality. So installing a Kernel would be my best bet I guess.... being I would retain all the functionality of the stock ROM.
Hope I make sense.
Oh the other thing is... when a kernel is AOSP compatible, that means stock ROM also right?

I want the 3/8/11 kernel for my MIUI.
dang.. can't wait! his jan 21 that's included in Warm Z blows my usual kernel out of the water! (lou's #6)
Patience grasshoppers. Ziggy plans on releasing them this weekend after the testers give him feedback.

unlike others', ziggy's kernels are universal i.e. they work on both sense and aosp roms - i have been running them on all my roms except cm7. ziggy has not yet made a gb kernel.

If I flash one of his kernels, do I need to wipe/reformat my SD card? I'm running MIUI, so I'm curious what I need to do and if there's any special instructions to follow. Currently, I'm running Tiamat's 2.1.5.

What about running SetCPU with an screen off profile, is it recommended with Ziggy's Kernals?

Can if you want, but if all you're going to do is set a screen off profile there's no need. His kernels are amazing for overclocking though.

Not only are they awesome for OCing but running a mild OC (1 notch above standard), with the min set to 128 I'm getting better battery life then the ever popular Lou's #8. YMMV
I'll try out the new ones here soon, I"m running the one form 1/22 I think.
Ziggys kernels never worked well on my DINC, but these latest ones are SWEET. Noticeably snappier than Lous #8.
Back story: I know the difference between most ROMs and have used MIUI, CM, and Myn's ROMs. I've been running CM7 lately and with this GPS still broken, yes I even did the fix by switching back to a sense based ROM; it helped for awhile, and the ROM just getting... stale to me I want to try a new one out. I liked MIUI when I was using before but with 4G finally in my area I don't wanna to drop it just for MIUI.
Question: What ROM would you recommend?
SalvageMod and/or Synergy when it is released to all. Give VaelPak a try, too. You should be impressed.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
Thanks. I'll keep an eye out on the first two and will look into VaelPak.
Vaelpak is a great ROM. I used it as a daily for a while. I haven't been on his website lately, so I don't know if he's updated it in the last few months or not.
To me, the best Sense ROM is Koni's. Never had a FC or found anything that didn't work perfectly. And, it's stunningly beautiful.
The Giger ROM I'm using now is really cool, but after 2 weeks, I'm starting get a few minor FC's, which I notice happens with a lot of ROMs. Like they start to breakdown after awhile
Yeah the best sense rom to me is also konis elite series but right now im running the rom end of days.

How do you like it??
I never ran EOD, but Magnus's Destroyer was really the best CM7 ROM, I ran. Everything worked well, and that was months ago, plus he themes for it were outstanding.
I might try the Missed Me ROM, but no one's giving much feedback on it.

End of days is awsome great themes awsome custom transitions speed no force closes great battery life with tiamat sbc everything works perfect. Here are some screen shots
If you want to try a Sense 3.0 ROM, I've been using Sac's Kingdom ROM V4 for the past few days now and it is absolutely amazing. With the new GB kernel out and new radios, I've been getting very good battery life and its running really fast. Definitely worth a try.
I just downloaded xxxVirusxxx's gingerbread with HTC Sense 3.0 and I cant see my icons is there any way to fix this?
I'm on mikg 2.1 +3.0 v1.0 sense ROM and its amazing the best ROM I've flashed in a while and I flash every ROM that comes out.

Thanks, I really could have used this yesterday instead of restoring a backup.
I'm almost thinking of rocking this because, for me, it seems to have the best battery life.
Will this work on newts sensation 3d Rom. Chads is good but I don't really care for overclocking. I don't wamtto be.in a bootloop tho.

I made this specifically for that. this is the stock OTA kernel this is what you get stock, this will work on any SENSE ROM. enjoy.

I personally think that the inc2 is fast enough stock, sure it's nice to over clock, but when battery is needed, I like to rock stock

Been tested and working on all of newts ROMs.
yeah, HTC did a pretty jam-up job with the stocker really. Or maybe it's just because it's one of the few android phones that will last all day on battery in nearly any situation, but with this phone I'm much less concerned with over/underclocking and voltage tweaking compared to a lot of them in the past

Well, i imagine you like sense and don't want to change. Here are a few ROM's i would try out. Go here for something that's pretty close to stock, but sense 3.0 or 3.5 flavor.
http://www.virtuousrom.com/
I just flashed this one last week and really liked it. Its fairly new, but i didn't have any bugs.
CoreDroid
http://www.coredroidroms.com/site/
i'd recommend SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 over at Team BAMF. works 100%, day in day out. HTC should take notes from these guys.
been using it for a few weeks and it works as well, if not better than stock. it does have a stock feel to it, but is customized to perfection. if you are looking for a heavily themed ROM, you might want to check CoreDroid.
I love Zeus. Make sure to install the dres #21 kernel and use Incredicontrol from the market to undervolt and save battery.
