It seems most of the professional developers have switched to WM6.5 + Sense 2.5 and fully abandoned W6.1 & Sense 2.1
Surely one of the very best applications for Sense 2.5 is “Cookie Home Tab” which let users to customise many items easily within Sense 2.5, while there isn’t any for Sense 2.1 users!
Wish some of these great developers reconsider Sense 2.1 and make a new application similar or equivalent to CHT for it to make the sense 2.1 users as happy as 2.5 users
maybe you could ask in the thread of the cookie home tab. Maybe your question is kinda interesting in terms of speedadvantages. But Im no specialist!
Thanks,

Why not just upgrade to 2.5?

While I like 2.5, there are more things about it that I dislike.
I don't like the favorite contacts page at all.
I can't stand that there isn't a programs tab, and while there are several threads about adding one, I have not been able to get any of them to work.
So for now, I am happy with 2.1
The one thing I miss the most of 2.5 is the settings tab though.

in 2.5 you don't need a program tab, if you install CHT
and contacts can be added to the quicklinks,too.so why do you think that much users say, that Sense with CHT is how it should be? just give it a try it's free and you can flash back if you like 6.1 after some days still more.

I have tried 2.5 with and without CHT.
I still like to have a programs tab, even with the home tab quick links, and I like the 2.1 favorite contacts page.
Personal preference.
that's really ok, mate

I fully agree with Brent372!
If there was a CHT version for sense 2.1, then you could customize many thing and combine advantages.

The DeepShining ROM from dotcomp has a Programm Tab, it is WM6.5 with Sense 2.5. Maybe you give it a shot.

Hi Michel!
We do all know that there is no technical advantage of Sense 2.1 over 2.5 but Im wondering if a Sense 2.1 can provide more speed than the newer versions. The most ROM Chefs discussed the 2.1 vs 2.5 in terms of speed (see the "Blackstonehenge HyPer" thread in the Blackstone ROM Development section for instance). From a users sight Sense 2.1 is only missing the quicklinks, right?
So *IF*
- Sense 2.1 DO have reasonable speed advantages compared to 2.5 and
- C00kie Home Tab for Sense 2.1 could bring quicklinks to life there and
- it's possible to port CHT over to Sense2.1 without much work and
- a Sense2.1 CHT would not slow the Sense 2.1 speed down to 2.5 level
I would appreciate such a version as it could be really interesting for all the devices with slower processors and chipsets (400-800MHz) and including my old blackstone (Touch HD). But only if all the IFs are positive of course...
Thanks for this discussion,
Cpt-Future
and again... it is matter of personal preference.
I am sure there are others like me that right now, prefer 2.1 over 2.5
it will be great if something like CHT be available for sence 2.1, i have Diamond and i tested both sense 2.5 and 2.1. sense 2.1 is faster on my device.

Fast ROM with HTC Apps but removed all HTC Widgets?
MCR r22?!?! you are so ahead of Paul!!! (Paul is only working on r18 just now...)
Sense UI but removed Rosie Launcher?!?!
the reason he removed the sense widgets was because without rosie they cannot and will not work....
I won't be using this but good luck with this ROM. Don't listen to the clown asking to delete this thread, he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. This community should encourage Devs that create new ROMS..
nice ROM....always wanted the additions of HTC like copy paste without all that rosie thing.....

I have cleaned this thread, let's keep the comments on topic.
im on froyo like most people, but i was just wondering how much free space is there in this rom after removing all that fluff?
I like this ROM, I've been using evil's version and I want his batt % in this rom. Anyone know what files have to be moved into the system/framework folder to make it work?
I really like the idea behind this as I use something similiar to this on modaco 22.1. What's important to me though is that i cant use BetterCut with this, I'm not sure why.
Im not expecting you to fix this, just letting other people know. I think this might have something to do with the fact that rosie launcher is gone. Wild guess though.
Hi there,
I have a HTC Hero obviously and I was just wondering if there was a ROM I could flash to it that's basically the vanilla Android ROM. I've been looking at some custom ones but I'm not sure which ones the best.
Basically, a ROM without HTC Sense (because I prefer the white status bar and the Android UI over the HTC one).
Thanks
Use the search button. Or even better your eyes. Everyone else manages just fine like that
Ez Hero doesn't have sense...

wow, what a **** ...
but hes right ... just an a$$hole about it ..
i use ezhero v5 .. its good ...
camera wont let you take time/date stamps off ..
other than that, its pretty good.... ezhero 4was better on battery, the other vanillas are the same really, just pick a name ... i chose ezhero soley on the boot screen, animation is cool ascii android ... and it boots with visuals like a computer, see memcheck and such ...
can find the ezhero in the dev. forums.
I thought the same (about preferring Android UI) but I missed a lot of the HTC apps, keyboard, etc..
Anyway, try aHero and CyanogenMod
i would LOVE a vanila version of android!
Hi All
Been a regular reader but just joined now.
Anyway I've been trying a few custom ROMs out on my rooted HTC Hero (GSM)... many have some very good things, but many of the 2.2 ones don't have some of the features or apps I loved from 2.1, especially some of the HTC sense, or some of the apps.
So, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a custom ROM that can do/has the following:
- Based on Froyo 2.2 (want to try out the supposed performance improvements, new UI, later version of flash, etc)
- Needs the Apps2SD functionality (I believe all 2.2 based Roms have it)
- I really like the HTC flip clock/weather widget, with the animated weather as in 2.1..but haven't seen it in 2.2. Is it not available anymore? Anyway it could manually still be added?
- The 2.1 weather app.. where you can add multiple locations. 2.2 only seems to have weather/news which I dont like as much.... the option to see weather in different locations just by scrolling down was great. No other options in the market seem to do this as well, either
- In fact - most of the original HTC widgets available of on the Hero I would still like
- The 'Stocks' app found in earlier versions is missing in 2.2. I really like this app, as it's the only one I have ever found that you can add many quotes, and will work well with non-US countries (like Australia/NZ sharemarkets for example). But, it's not in found in the market and doesn't seem to be featured in 2.2?
- I also liked the way that when looking at 'people', it would summarise 'events' like birthdays and give me a taskbar notification. The 2.2 Roms I have tried so far, don't seem to have this same function anywhere..is it still available?
- I also liked the previous 'my contact card' where I could store my own details. I cant see this in 2.2 either is nit now gone? Would still love that.
Anyway, maybe I'm asking too much, but is there any custom ROM anyone can recommend, that is based on 2.2 but still has those 'good' bits from 2.1 or earlier?
Or, is there anyway I can add them myself??
I have checked out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889299
and others, but so far haven't found anything that quite has the above...
For the Flip Clock, you can search for Fancy Widget. In the current version, the autohor redesigned ist, but with you can find the older version here on the forum -and it looked exactly like the Sense flip clock! (what also explains, why that version was removed from the market by htc) As a bonus, I find it less laggy than the original one -therefore, it replaced HTC's flip clock on my homescreen
For the rest, I think, you need a ROM with Sense, as Sense Widget don't work on non-sense Roms...
I use fancy widget as well, glad I saved the .apk file
as for the sense like widgets you are better of doing a market search you might find some similiar to them.
or just go install the custom sense froyo roms although the camera or some hardware aint working on them
Thanks, I found the older fancy widget apk so I will give that a try.
I guess I'm asking too much for a custom ROM based on 2.2, with all the HTC Sense stuff still working... will have to comprise somewhere.
I really wanna give 2.2 a decent try but a lot of the stuff I liked from 2.1 isn't there anymore in the ROM's I've seen.
Anyway thanks for the replies!

the fact is mate you want HTC Sense on 2.2 (or sounds like that), which isn't a 100% stable port on the Hero (GSM) so you can have 2.2 working perfectly and use 3rd party apps like everyone else to get the same effect, or you can use a buggy 2.2 port of HTC sense, and live with it until someone makes a good port.
Yeah I wasn't too sure what ROM's were available and what they all could or could not do, hence asking for recommendations.
Anyway I'm trying out a number of differnet ones until I find the best one for me.
Think you're right though, 2.2 with Sense isn't really available/stable yet so I think a non-sense 2.2 with addons is the way to go at this stage.
Cheers
Hi,
I trye different ROM and i think a non-sense 2.2 whith an other launcher (like LauncherPro) is better than Sense...
The ROM TastyFroyo is the faster ROM but the screen resolution is not compatible with BeautifulWidget. (2.2 non-sense)
And the FroyedVillain is awesome too and full stable! (2.2 non-sense)
The ChocolateFroyo is a 2.2 with sense but i dut test it...
You have the rom in 2.3 too!!!
Elinux ROM and TastyGinger are great but still in beta...
Can somebody extract the original 1.6 launcher to flash or install over a stock froyo streak ?

There's a little confusion here, which is understandable.
Everyone is assuming the OP wants Stage UI version 1.6, and based upon his original post I would have as well. But that's not what he wants. What he wants is the drop-down tab bar that appeared on Dell Streaks running Donut (Android 1.6). As you can see the version numbers are the same.
Unfortunately for the OP, there is no version of that tab bar for 2.2.2.

My apologies, i didn't realise he wanted that.
You cannot have some things from Donut and Eclair, your options are, find a alternative or downgrade, downgrading is crazy though... i like the Donut screen lock, but i wouldn't downgrade to Donut to have it.
No I didn't want the tabs, as i said earlier, because in the other thread it was clarified that it can't be done in later FW-s
I only want a launcher which can really use the landscape mode, cause I use my devices in that position only, and the stock 1.6 launcher seems to be really good at that, buit all the launchers is optimized for portrait use, so they not very good at accomodating landscape

hey guys was just wondering what do you think is the best ive been using nightlys for ages im thinking of changing?
what do you think i should change to?
Well, in my opinion it's a taste thing. Like what is the best color?
I have tried CM6, CM7, and Liberated Aria FR008. For my taste, I like the latest CM7 stable release 7.1.0 the best in terms of interface, settings, battery life, etc.
I was a Sense rom fan for the longest time but with the latest CM7 stable release, I have to say CM7 hands down. As TR_HTC said, it is simply better in all the categories. I only miss some of the Sense Widgets and apps but nothing that I can't live without.

No. You'll just have to get a theme for the rom or launcher (or a new launcher if anything). See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970459 (you still won't get sense widgets though).
