So,
My GF has an Incredible 2 and she wanted to use WIFI tethering (without paying extra, of course). So, being new to the whole Android thing (I actually don't have an Android phone yet.. in LL3 waiting for my Nexus 4, but that's a different story) I put CM7 on the phone as I had heard good things about it. Problem was, she didn't like the looks of it as she was really used to the HTC Sense theme. So, I then looked for a sense themed ROM, and finally installed "CM9 Kang" (I think). While she is happy with the looks and features, the phone is terribly slow. I guess the hardware is just too old to handle an ICS based ROM..
So I'm asking you, what ROM do you suggest for the Incredible 2 that is stable, fast, and has a "sense-like" theme?
Thanks!
Viper definitely
Try it its in development thread

Thanks, I assume you are referring to this ROM? As it is also ICS based, is it not laggy on the Incredible 2? I don't feel like installing another ROM and then my GF complaining again

Try skyraider Zeus, its a nodded stock Rom and very smooth and stable. http://www.teambamf.net/topic/1737-romgb-skyraider-zeus-13-inc2-update-11222011/ Here is a mirror:http://db.tt/MqGxEDBk
I'm so fresh you can suck my nits...
TSM Sense M.
I'm not sure if Virtuous is doing Incredible 2 ROMs anymore, but back on Gingerbread, they were great.
A bit out of date.
But good luck!

So I'm looking to get a new Rom. What is the fastest stable sense Rom in your opinions?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
First off, this doesn't belong in the "Development" section.
But that aside, I'd say SkyRaider 4.0 is a good one. Magnolia is fast and stable with a nice "matte UI". Lou's are good as well (Redemption ROM, Redemptive rEVOlution). SkyRaider 4.0 has the added bonus of being extremely customizable with options not in other ROM's yet. And more mods and themes are on the way.
My bad, I thought I pressed the general tab... stupid phone... can a mod please move this. Thanks....

I knows Lou's I'm running the old redemption rEVOlution now, but I seem to be having problems with newer apps and games running choppy when I'm double the required and framework tends to crash too often... now I also am unable to direct install to SD.... that's why I'm looking to upgrade.
As for Sky I didn't know he had a new one, saw he was working on "Athena" but it was horribly buggy from what I read. Is 4.0 that good and nice on batt?

Check out Optimised Sense by Newtoroot, pretty new but its fast.
Skyraider 4.0 hands down. It's the most stable ROM i've used and is great on battery life. I use my phone a lot and can go all day no problem with the stock battery.
Hmm, I have been stuck on CM7 for who knows how long but I flashed Skyraider 4.0 and have absolutely loved it. Skyraider 4.0 has elements of CM7, the Z roms, and the S roms built in. It's fast as hell, and it's the first Sense rom I stayed on for more than an hour in about 3 months.
If SR4 isn't for you (I can't imagine why) then go with a Z rom, maybe Warm Z nightlies or the Incredibly Re-Engineered Z.
mine of course haha
Z roms rock!

I'm enjoying the customization of cm7 but for sense 1.0 I like skyraider, for sense 2.0 I'd say warm z. Nils business sense looks good too but I haven't tried it as it requires cwm 3+.

Fastest?? Well... Any of the sense ROMs will run differently of course, but that is easily changed with different Kernels
I'm running Skyraider 4.0 with the stock kernel and it's flawless.

No rom is flawless, there are already atleast 3 threads with different probs with sr, not to mention issues on main thread. All roms have quirks, its all in what you can live with.

Go for it folks
I gotta cast my vote for Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.4. I've been always coming back to this super ROM. Chingy51o has put in a lot of work for this ROM to run smoothly and it shows.
If you are looking for leaked sense 2.0 roms download any rom that is a "Z" rom.
for the best sene ROM, skyraider 4.0 is it. most features, devs will be stealing his features they are so nice. I haven't had a hiccup since installing 4.0 fresh. lou's #8 kernel. easily get two days of battery. LOVE it.
and check out my theme page for Skyriader4.0

Actually I tried optimized sense and I loved it. Fast, smooth, stable, i definitely recommend it.
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 was on end of days but the black on black text issue was driving me nuts.. I was hoping that there would be a new rom out now that HTC release GB
I am putting a custom rom on my wife's phone for the first time. She doesn't really do anything major on her phone. She has gingerbread and it just got rooted. Any suggestions on a good rom to use? Thanks.
Besides being in the wrong section, miui is a great asop rom. If you want a little sense 3.0 check out newt's sensation. Rmk has a debloated version of the latest ota gingerbread if you fancy something more stock.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
besides why she needs a custom rom?
I have been trying alot of these out last couple days but i havent tried the sense 3.0 been having best luck with miks new sensation 1.1 though
If you need GSM for international travel, select carefully. Most ROM's don't support it well or at all in many cases. If you are CDMA only, your choices are more solid.
I've tried miui and cm7 and in my opinion cm7 is just a snappier and better ROM. Just my opinion though

CM7? Which one is that?
BTW, as to why she might want a custom rom, speed...right?
Really all of the roms out now are pretty nice...
Being for a girl I'd think shed lean toward liking miui or a sense 3.0 based roms like virtuous or mikroms incredible sensation. The latest version from newtoroot (incredible sensation) has given me the best results. Very fast and stable and newt has been very responsive with the few quirks. by quirks I mean that his version is based on sense 2.1 so there was more he had to do to get the framework to align. It is definitely good enough to be a daily driver now.
Cm7 and omgb/omfgb are probably the fastest roms out. I really like omfgb combined with the tiamat kernel but cm7 is similarly great with more customization options (most of which your wife would likely never use). Omgb/omfgb is very back to basic, pure Android experience.
Rmks gingersense has been mostly my go-to though. Similar to stock, debloated, customizable. Pretty much a set it and forget it option with no issues. The only thing that aosp based roms have that I have an issue with is the incall volume. Tiamats kernel improves this a lot but still not quite where stock sense is in volume level.

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

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)

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.
