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.

I use a little bit of everything, but I usually end up going back to magnolia, for a sense rom.

Skyraider isn't sense 3, it's actually 2.1 with 3.0 features. Just for clarification.

Fwiw I got mms working in sense 4 for virtuous primadonna...so whenever it gets released that's one less issue
I prefer to use stock rom rooted, to uninstall some Verizon apps.

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.

I've noticed Newt's DINC2HDrls 1.1 is quite stable. But that's just my two cents.
I personally prefer Newt's Sense roms above all. I'm on AOSP right now, but occasionally I'll flash back to Newt's Incredible 2 HD just to mess with Sense. It's Sense 3.5 and I gave it like a 15-20% overclock and I didn't lag once. There's a great communtiy over there, and tons of mods to get you whatever you want from your phone.
Here lately I've been having issues with newt's hd rls 1.1 ... when I turn Rosie on and use the shortcut widget my HTC sense just constantly reboots... It's not an issue with the rom or a bug so I don't know what I'm doing wrong there..

Well the Shortcut Widget is almost entirely made by him since the official one would have taken so much work. I don't see that being a reason enough for me to stay away.

I know. I just find it odd that it would be happening.. I just posted in their bug thread so hopefully I'm not alone..
Virtuous Affinity is the way to go. Sense 3.5
Newts ROM is great too - but Virtuous flat out runs better - and this is with many email syncs and data syncing.
Try both - You may favor one or the other.
Try the latest CM7 nightly #134 with Aeroevans .7cfs kernel. Then get the MIUI camera.apk and download. You have yourself a totally customizable, stable, fast, nothing to worry about rom. That is always my go to rom
Ialso love virtuous for my #1 sense rom
Tap'n on VIRTUOUS incredible 2
RMK's gingersense if you want stock. SkyRaider Zeus is amazing with a ton of customization. If your looking for the newest sense rom RCmix3D is my personal favorite and ran smooth. Haven't tried virtuos though..
I love Affinity. Newts Roms are nice until he gives up on them. However his HD rom kept giving me problems every fresh flash and he isn't big on helping

+1 for Affinity.
Running the latest one and it's excellent. Sense 3.5 is great.
Have you tried TSM GingerbangSense 3.0? I'm new to Inc2, but it seems very stock and very stable...I had to check the bootanimation to make sure it wasn't stock!
As you all know I love miui...it has beauty like a sense Rom, stability, and its fast as hell...I recommend miui build 1.10.28..very stable and customizable.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I had really good luck with the HD roms and Unity for Sense based, but I do go back to MIUI or Liquid for AOSP once in a while.
I think the next on my list to try is Affinity.
I've tried nearly every rom available and am back to inc2hd. It just seems the most polished to me. Can't stand aosp after having all the awesome perks of sense. Though I do like Miui.

For those who have used it, how good is Skyraider Zeus? I have tried Skyraider 4.3 on my DInc, and I have to say it's my fave alt ROM. I am running Jermaine's de-bloated stock + on my DInc now. Obviously also a Sense fan, so it would be good to get opinions from people who've used it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
100% stable, with amazing features you won't find in any other ROM - SkyRaider Zeus.
If you want to explore the new Sense versions, NEWT's Incredible H RLS1.1 is the way to go as it's Sense 3.5
If you'd like to try a Sense 3.0 ROM I would suggest nitsuj17's TSM Trinity ROM
Or NEWT has a few options for Sense 3.0 Including his Inc3d ROM, and his Incredible sensation ROM, I personally dislike Sense 3.5 and think Sense 3.0 is a better choice, but SkyRaider Zeus is the best Sense ROM I've ever ran. I would highly suggest that as an everyday ROM.

Zeus 1.3 is honestly the best Sense ROM I've ever ran. I also used skyraider 4.3 for my Incredible1, and absolutely loved it, Zeus is basically that ROM on steroids. The options that are included into the ROM are simply incredible. I also get the best battery life on this ROM out of the rest.
My vote goes for skyraider Zeus. Most stable rom I've ever used on any phone, also very customizable. That was the only rom that could get me away from MIUI (only bug in MIUI that I run into is having no voice commands while connected to Bluetooth)

I got a Droid Incredible 2 yesterday for Christmas and am already rooted (I'm very enthusiastic ). Can anyone recommend me a ROM that is at least mostly functional, reliable, fast, and has reasonable battery life. I would love to hear your input based on your experiences. Thanks!

I know there are a lot of Sense based Roms out there for this device, and i was just wondering which rom you guys preferred. I've had some pretty good experiences with SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 and also Virtuous. What are some of your thoughts and opinions on these roms and others?

I loved Skyraider on my OG dinc, but for some reason not a fan if Zeus. It is extremely stable, but just not for me. I'm a big fan of nitsuj's gingerbangsense with the 3.0 patch, or even andybonesstock with the same patch. Both work amazing and are stable in my experience. As far as 3.5, Newts hd is pretty solid

HD was a combo of OG Sensation and Runny, whereas Mikrunny is 100% mik optimized runny. It runs better than any Runny ROM I've tried, and you can use skins with it.

cant go wrong with virtuous in my opinion, unity or affinity. BTW unity is the sense 3.0 version and affinity is the sense 3.5 version. They both are stable, solid roms and have their own tweeks built in. Also, and im not sure about unity, but affinity can overclock waaaay past 1.7 so thats definatley a plus. id highly recommend trying those 2 out, mainly virtuous affinity. heres the site if ya need it:

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.

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.
I am 4 days into the Dinc2 and am enjoying it so far as I am sad to say a former DX2 owner. I have worked on HTC's before and always find Synergy Rom's in the forums. I am not seeing it here like in the Dinc forum's or Evo forum's. I am curious if anyone knows if we will see something here for Synergy or no? I liked it on the Evo but it wasn't my phone so I didn't get to play with it to long. Any heads up would be great Thanx!

I am not sure on a synergy release mainly due to the ICS releases coming out. There a lot of devs in our community so it could spark interest.
If you are a fan of synergy I recommend any of nitsujs work. Also over on mikmik newts roms are killer.

That is kind of what I was thinking was holding up some roms I am used to seeing I am running nitsujs TSM Sense M EXT4 5.0.1 with the 3.0 sense patch.
I am far from new to modding but I don't want to run right to the ICS builds just yet I want to explore all the Roms for the Dinc2. I also know I like MikMik Roms as well. Coming of the fascinate and DX2 CyanogenMod builds it's kind of fun to have more build and rom diversity to flash away like an addict haha.

Completely agree. I started with the nexus one. (More than enough Rom variations lol). To the Sony X10 with very few different rom choices. To the Inc2 where we have everything from stock to cm9 and sense 4.
Check out mikrunny, inchd 1.1 (mikmik), nits trinity (full sense 3.0), nits bullet mt4g port, and of course your aosp.
A lot of people run skyraider (teambamf) and mikrunny. Although like stated before the ICS builds are near fully functional.
