I know that this question was probably posted before, but I figured I would post it again because people's opinions change over time.
I have been running cm7.2 for a while now and was wondering what perks some sense roms have over cm7.2 if any at all and if it would be worth it to switch to a sense rom?

Honestly, try SkyRadier on teambamf.net and just see for yourself. It's hard to talk about all of them.

The ONLY reason I would go back to a sense rom is for the camera.

Sense is heavier so AOSP roms will have better battery life. Sense has its widgets and camera. I don't know if it's better for CM7. 2 but I had multitouch issues with CM and MIUI and aerovan v. 7 kernel so that's the reason I switched. You should try it and see if you like it or not. Personally, I love MIUI but I can't live with the multitouch issues so I changed to SkyRaider Zeus
+1 on the SRZ. I'm sticking this one out until we get our ics leak.

I lost my phone for about a week. When I was helping my friend clean his house I found it in his chair and the camera was cracked. I can't even open any camera app. On top of that I just realized my speaker is about to blow out

Sense 4.0 with GSM
Do you know a Sense 4.0 ROM for GSM?
I go back and forth between sense and CM7.2 Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Sense bluetooth works WAY better for me, but I like the customization of CM7 and the quickness.
Magnolia and Skyraider Zues have been my favorite sense roms and gotta give it up for Condemned's CM7 rom.
Your mileage may vary of course..
I prefer Sense to CM7 and CM9 too.

I prefer sense because of how stable it is. I have been running magnolia most of the time, but I have like 5 different roms on my sd card so I never know what I will be running from day to day.

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.
I just got an Incredible 2 to replace my Nexus One (new job, new phone), and I'm trying to find a stable, updated and minimal ROM. I have been going through the DEV forum, and I see quite a few choices, but I don't see anything that's minimal. Something similar to this.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I might give Liquid Smooth a try- AOSP GB 2.3.7 built from source and very minimal. It's in ROM Manager too.
Im not a fan of rom manager, but I like most AOSP.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
It looks like a nice ROM, but I don't think it's minimal. Are there any other suggestions? In the mean time, I'll just root my current phone and remove the bloatware.
Thanks
OMFG is probably the most minimal AOSP.

Correction...except for the one i forgot, we have nothing
try skyraider its is very stable an gsm works
Anyone know if there is a compiled list of ROM reviews? I am currently using CM7, but am thinking about switch to Sense. I have had some trouble finding a stable ROM. Anyone have a recommendation for a good one? I would like cutting edge features, but would rather stability and battery life over features.
Examples of issues I have had include Incredible HD having no MMS or SMS, smooth just not working, etc. The reason I want to go back is due to bluetooth issues in CM7 and battery life.
Thanks.

Newt updated all the links I'm pretty sure. Download the v4 and the patch, flash ROM, setup and then flash the patch. Check md5sums before flashing. That always helps. If you have a bad download, it'll screw up.

If looking for sense rom nit has a ultimatekangbang sense 4 rom(ics) thats awesome, CS has a Stock sense rom thats like the name(stock). If you look through forum your see alot of em. Try em all theres always nandroids. The devs do awesome jobs. Theres even some badass jelly bean roms out now. I suggest try em and see which one is your preference

No they are still mostly alpha and beta builds, camera works....most of the time, camcorder is broken until we get an official kernel source, and we just got adreno video drivers in aeroevens latest kernel which really helps with the smoothness of the ROMs. In my experience the JB ROMs are very smooth and quite fast.
GOT IT. I am using JB now on og incredible and it is doing well. So I am sure I will try it on DINC 2.

All ics roms for vivow have some issues. The question is do you want sense or aosp?
UKB is probably the best sense rom out right now. Sense 4, android 4.0.3. Smooth, fast, excellent battery. Camera fcs a lot for some.
For aosp, you have Kangdemnation or an older version of PA. PA is moving on to JB, but I think version 1.9.5 is ics.
Most of the problems are camera related, but many have been fixed. BT is another area of concern/ongoing development. Sound issues, too.
Search through the threads for these issues before you ask a question. Most of these threads are quite large.

If you don't feel the need for Ice Cream Sandwich, I use Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable for my "old reliable" It's much faster than stock, better battery life, and everything works 100% for me. Just my 2 cents.
I'm pretty much a rookie myself, and wanted the most stable ics rom I could get. The UKB looked great, but I decided to try tazz's ic rom first. It sounds like it should be stable too. I just flashed it earlier today, so haven't had much time with it yet, but so far it looks great. It sucks as much as everyone in that thread promised.
In my experience, Tazz's ROM is probably the number one out there right now. Granted, you're stuck with Sense but there are some devs out there stripping Sense away from this ROM and another one. Everything works out of the box (including camera which is huge for me), but like I mentioned, you're stuck with Sense and I've personally moved to Paranoid Android 1.5a which has CM9 as a base. Works pretty great, although my ffc pictures often show up corrupt/glitchy/garbled. Now to make more posts so I can have the privilege of commenting about this bug...

If u r on cdma then use UKB X, if on gsm use IC Tazz. Both the roms are very gud. I faced bootloop in gsm with UKB X and V.
otherwise ukb is better.
So I guess this shows my noobness, I'm wanting to root my wife's incredible 2 and not sure if she has cdma or gsm. How do I know/find out?

LOL yeah, that was an entertaining and informative thread!
I just stuck to the Aeroevan's CM9 07/12 build with v12 kernel (pretty outdated, but I don't use the phone anymore) and gave it to my mother. So far, she's loving it to the point where she's completely oblivious to the world when she's using an app.
I woild definitely recommend Aero's CM9 build if you want a speedy rom with mostly everything working (720p recording doesn't work sadly)
But if you want an extremely stable ROM, then go for Tazz/Mac's IC Tazz ROM and have fun with the suckiness of the ROM. XD
I woukd also recommend Nit's UKB just because it's a treat and its packed with lots of Sense 4.0 goodies.
