Is bad battery life an innate trait of sense roms?
I have typically stuck to stockish and aosp roms so I'm a sense Noob, but this is the biggest downside of sense style that I've noticed.

yup, sense is bloat. of course every defines bloat differently, but if you like the aesthetics then its the cats meow. but no matter your preference it will inherently drain your battery more than aosp roms

sense requires more processing power then stock and takes up more ram
depends which sense u use be it from the stock 2.1 to the new 4.0 will all be slightly different
however devs have made roms that are pretty battery conversant.
and especially sense 4.0
it is very nice...

I am going to be installing a new ROM on my girlfriend's INC2 today and just had a few questions. One, what is the best AOSP ROM out right now (my guess would be Liquid 3.2). Two, what is the best Sense ROM out? Most likely I will be installing a sense ROM as she has been running Liquid for a long time now and is running into some bugs. Also, at least for my Thunderbolt Sense ROMS are getting to be really nice and just as fast as AOSP IMHO. Anyways, my focus is on the Sense ROM, something that is new and updated. Any suggestions?
I would ditch sense and go with cyanogen or MIUI. My only issue with miui was battery life, but maybe you'll have better luck.

For a solid sense ROM, check out skyraider Zeus 1.3. It's based on the stock sense2.1 but has some 3.0 upgrades. It's a very stable, fast rom.
MikRunny is a good sense 3.5 ROM. There are some minor bugs, and it gets a lil laggy once in awhile. But overall its a solid performer.

+1 on Miui and battery life. I average 18hrs and still have around 40% left at recharge.

Same question as in the title, do you prefer to have sense or prefer to get rid? I love sense 4 but do think the amount of ram it uses is a bit on the heavy side...
I'm currently undecided.

i like sense..beautiful UI and just plain better than TW. but still if i see a AOKP rom or cm9 fully stable and working i will be making the jump. cause nothing beats pure google rom at the end of the day. both have their good and bad points. plus if you still like sense you can reduce the ram size it eats up by using rom cleaner
I prefer a vanilla experience, but I'm keeping a sense based ROM on my HOX until I can find a camera app that comes close to the greatness of the sense 4 camera and takes advantage of the hardware.
CM9 on my HOX was fast and snappy, but I don't care for the camera.
I did a bit of DE-Sensing on my own with Titanium by freezing a lot of HTC stuff; basically anything with the weird Sense in it. Greatly improved multitasking, but still not as well as my Nexus.

Link?
I also feel the same as one of the above guys, until either the sense camera could be ported or something came close then i just can't make the jump to CM9

there you go mate
Guys, I bought a HOX after owning a Samsung Captivate and then a Galaxy S2, so I considered myself a self proclaimed Samsung fanboi. I made the jump because I wanted to taste another brand and I've liked HTC since the Windows Mobile days.
Regarding Sense 4 let me tell you, compared to TW it is simply fantastic. It is so well designed, elegant, simple, love the lockscreen customizations.
You all are correct, the camera app on HOX is that good that I am not leaving sense until something better comes along. I am thinking of installing a Sense based ROM but I am hesitant as I am enjoying the stock experience so much (for now).
For me Sense gets old and ugly pretty quick. It's not worth the memory + cpu resources it consumes :/

I agree it is a resource hog, but I think it looks better then most.

Q1. I have a backup of mikg, but when I did it, I was not partitioned. Is it ok to restore to it now that I'm partitioned?
Q2. Which version of sense is smoother on the evo? 3.5 or 3.0? Yes I know all about sense 1 and aosp, but I just prefer 3.0 or 3.5 (at least till sense 4.0 is done)
Thanks in advance guys/gals.

If you restore that backup without restoring SD ext, it should leave your partition intact.
As for smoothest Rom, sense 3.0 because it has a lot more working than sense 3.5
This is my signature.
Sense 3.5 in theory should be faster since it was supposed to be less bloated and use less resources. Sense 3.0 was the biggest resource hog

Thanks guys. Well I guess ill stick to energy then. Love the theming. Although I may try derp 3d since I have the flashing itch. Been on mikg for a few months now

I agree Sense 3.5 is worth stickin with if you are after the Sense "feel"
there are some awesome sense 3.5 roms out there too. I used Engergy for a while before i jumped into some AOSP (CIUI AND GTR v1.6 twinturbo)... those are both cm7 based with some themeing.
I've tried numerous roms for my ota hov cdma both sense and cm9/cm10 and for some reason I seem to get better reception and ram usage with sense based. Is there I logical explanation or am I just seeing things? I prefer the cm builds but I keep switching back to sense because of seemingly better performance.
Thoughts?

sense just use the ram!
Which do you prefer?
Stock so far but that's probably because my phone is 2 weeks old and I can't s-off cuz I have a mac and too computer illiterate/lazy to load Linux just to s-off. I'm sure my preference will change once I flash a gpe Rom though...hopefully soon

Before this phone, I was AOSP all the way. Now, I can't find a good enough reason to leave stock. Kitkat may change that when we get some Roms
Sense 5.5. I'm a fan.

Stock, but really just for zoe and beatsaudio. And battery life and signal strength.
Which stock rom do you guys use?
NuSense

I'm using the full stock odex .10 release from Santod. This is the happiest I've been with a stock ROM. I use to prefer AOSP until the low camcorder volume issue came to surface. HTC really did am excellent job with both the hardware and software of this phone.

I'm on AOSP with SlimBean. Been pretty stable so far.
I love Bonestock right now. Also about to jump on Ecliptic later today if time permits

I like gpe the best. It retains the speediness of a sense rom, the beats audio for the speakers, and the ir blaster while having the AOSP interface. Best of both worlds

Running SlimBean right now. Working well.
Stock on NOS 2.0.1.
I've used AOSP roms for a few years and loved them. When I got this phone, I realized something...Why spend money on a new phone to just use the same old AOSP as I did with my last phone.
I think a major part of my change is that I actually like Sense, whereas I didn't care for touchwiz.
Stock! Love the Sense 5.5 updates!

AOSP here. Nothing at all against the stock rom, it is very well done for being stock. However there are some features I cannot get on Stock, and I prefer 3rd party launchers, making much of the stock setup worthless to me.
I do miss the camera app and higher signal strength. Also miss Blinkfeed, but Flipboard works well so I survive
Stock all the way.

GPE for me. But that is the only one I have tried on this phone so far. I didn't mind Sense, but it wasn't "stock" enough for me. I am using the Eclipse GPE Port for the time being, and will be switching to AOSP when Nitro gets the 4.4 AOSP version of Eclipse up and running. Then my vote may change.
What are the main differences between the three?

Stock = Sense
GPE = Stripped down almost AOSP-like but with Sense framework
AOSP = Most basic stripped down
