Since it has been made official by Verizon not to update the Eris to Froyo I am now looking into rooting and using a custom Rom for my daughters Eris. What I need to know is are there any Roms out there that would still give you access to the HTC Sense widgets or one that allows you to still take advantage of HTC Sense the way it is currently on the phone? What can I say, she really loves there widgets and stuff!
None of the froyo roms incorporate HTC Sense. A great rom to look at is XTR SENSE. it's a 2.1 rom and is very fast and has all the glory of the HTC synch and Widgets.

Another option would be to use KaosFroyo and download beautiful widets. That can give you sense like widets.

+1, with the addition of launcher pro plus to get even more of the look. It has similar people, message widgets plus some more and you can even alter the dock to look like sense.
There is one or two devs that are working on a froyo sense rom but progress is slow going because of how much sense is integrated with the rest of the framework. If you want froyo I would use kaosfroyo or if you still want 2.1 the Ares rom works great. I would also use beautiful widgets with any of the froyo ROMs. Make sure you go through the threads and understand what you are getting into with rooting and using custom ROMs.

+1 for xtrSENSE
I chose v4.5 as my first custom rom and so far it's awesome. No problems getting it up and running, setting a stable overclock, and enjoying HTC Sense features.

LOL. Not a chance. They're not going to bother updating the Sense version on the stock 2.1 ROM - it's likely the March OTA, being such a relatively minor update, is the very last official update the Eris will see. And fully working ports of Sense-based 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs have not been able to be made completely working; and I doubt at this point that it will ever happen.
That's what I figured expecially if the thunderbolt isn't getting. Just was wondering because the Eris wasn't getting froyo either but now I'm running gingerbread on it.

Android itself is open source, which allows any devs who want to create their own Android ROMs such as CyanogenMod or pure AOSP to do so. HTC Sense is proprietary and not open source, which makes making versions of it work on devices it wasn't made for much harder.
I like my froyoeris so much i hardly miss sense. it was nice but this phone is far, far better now than before <thank you kaos!> i might have tried one of the froyosense roms but i need to have a camera... cant miss the candid moments with the kids.
I don't miss sense at all. Besides the Widgets was there anything else really special to it?

I highly doubt it. They don't even think it can be ported to the Dinc in our forums. Sense 3.0 just takes to much space. Might be able to port some of the Widgets and junk though.

Hi guys and devs,
I just wonder that if could anyone know the way to mod CRT animation on the pure sense, I'm using Orange Glacier rom. I have modified the status bar, and things else, but this one is a hard ass one and I can't find the way to do it. Any idea?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Virtuous Fusion utilizes CRT animations so i dont see why not since its Pure Sense as well
You could flash Royal Panache
yea, thanks guys, totally agree with you. I tried both of them before but I prefer the original sense of mytouch 4g but btw virtious and royal, i go with royal so, really there is no way to put crt animation to the original sense?

Terms like "pure Sense" and "original Sense" to most people mean the version of Sense that is on all HTC phones except the myTouch line. If you're looking for the CRT animation for the type of Sense that comes on the MT4G stock, I'd call it "mySense" or something similar. That way folks will know what you're talking about.

Damn TeeJay, that was quik, I was going to edit my post to let him know the same thing. MySense is one of a kind (Made for t-mobile MyTouch Line) where as Original Sense is what is on most if not all other HTC devices.
I normally stay mostly in my little cave/thread but I did read a little about the MT4G Slide that might have Sense 3.0 but I have to assume it will be MySense so I am kinda wanting to see what that is about. I am actually probably one of the few that do like MySense. I think it has some UI things that I like about it.
We must have hit "submit reply" at the exact same time.

Thanks TeeJay for the correction, much appreciated ^^ I almost forgot that our Sense is one of a kind, MySense, good to remember Cheers!
Its gonna be hard on any 2.2 roms. Like, almost impossible hard. Would have to port the whole 2.3 frameworks for it to happen. Adding it to the stock 2.3 rom, not as hard.

Hi, I totally got what he refered to, say, Orange_Glacier rom, that is mySense and its android version is 2.3.3
Ive seen it done on other android devices, So why not on a Atrix?
On which other devices did you saw the Sense?
The sense is a close code project of HTC, and can not realy be installed successfuly on non-HTC devices.
You can use themed launchers that has the looks and sometimes the widgets of the sense, as showed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053409&highlight=sense
but actually install Sense on devices that dont come with sense in the first place is not really possible (to be more accurate, it is even quite complicate to put sense on devices that do come with lower versions of sense or sensed android....).
wow, i searched "HTC sense" in this forum and the FIRST result (other than your topic) was:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053409

Not to stick up for the OP but he is talking about actually potting sense to atrix. Your post above is about a mock sense using different launchers and themes

The Sense framework is deeply embedded. I see that there may be a Nexus port but that's a developer phone with tons of active devs. We haven't even achieved an unlocked bootloader so Sense is as far out of reach as it comes.
If you're looking for Sense your best bet is to get an HTC device that supports it natively. rmk40 has a Sensation now and is super pumped to start developing for it. He always develops extremely clean, fast and highly optimized ROMS with relative tweak and minimal bloat. I'm positive that once the Sensation bootloader is unlocked he'll be pumping out the good stuff. I can't wait!

I know there are some tweaks and similar apps out there but it just doesn't compare. People ***** and moan about Sense being slow and bloated, but rmk40's ROMs are absolutely beautiful. Now that we have a lot more tweaks for our Atrix devices I'm still really pleased, but I still desire the HTC Sense experience again. I freeze lots of apps but things like the Social Dialer and other widgets are just too beautiful to pass up.

Yes but tour link noy only didnt answer what the op was asking. Your attitude didn't help with an inccorrect post. All you had to do was explain that sense is closed and propriotery and very difficult to port to an open phone let alone a locked down one like the atrix

HTC made the hardware, architecture, put together the components, etc. It's basically an HTC Desire, or rather, the Desire is an upgraded N1.

Is it possible to get sense on Optimus V?
well combine CM7, a sense style theme, LP Sense UI, Fancy Widgets with H7C skins... you can get something that is sense-ish
i doubt we'll ever see anything closer to sense on the Optimus V
Thats what i thought :/
well
I did do some looking on youtube and cam across this http://youtu.be/PzlBijNUbnc an I was amazed but I don't know how he got it like that.
I think it would be pretty much impossible for us or most other non htc based phones to ever see a sense based rom, I believe the major reason is because of legality issues with it. Don't quote me on that though. I'd love to see it happen, but it just wouldn't be worth it for any devs
someone ported it to the optimus p500 and has a thread on it. It's very much possible and would probably be a huge pita.
Yeah i could see some trouble with legality. I did see something over on android central, it was a fully themed HTC Espresso ROM which i think would be pretty cool to have. However, the link was to a google docs file share and the file was gone
but, by the time i can afford a Moto Triumph they're will probably be quite a few ROM's out. I know they've already rooted with Gingerbreak. savin up my money
Probably something I did awhile back. The legality isn't/hasn't ever been an issue. It's just getting everything to work right. I did a cm7 theme (it's on the market) it's missing some things and right now I been making my own roms so that the lockscreen can look like it should and a couple other things.

I have that espresso rom and will pm it to anyone who wants it. Also, my sense theme is very accurate. There are threads about it in the optimus v themes thread, and the Motorola triumph theme thread. I hope you aren't disappointed if you try it out.

Was wondering if any good senseless rom besides Scott's senseless rom.
Am using Scott's senseless rom right now its nice and stable .So i think thats the only one rom without sense. If any other XDA guildies know about any senseless rom for EVO 3D please let me know. Thanks
Depends on what exactly your looking for,
There are a couple of roms that got rid of sense, these include miui and cm7,
You also want to look for aosp roms, these are all senseless...
Smokin420 has a wonderful little tool that should remove sense from any rom you want search the developement thread for it.
I've personally tried miui and its pretty sweet, once you figure out all the lil tricks and shortcuts to stuff. They still have a long way to go tho. Miui will never have 4g tho, as it came from Japanese developers who have no use for 4g, and the camera was borked when i used miui(might be fixed now, might not be)
went back to scotts cleanrom2.7 myself
If I've helped hit thanks

HTC widgets are admittedly cool, but since I started rocking Launcher Pro Plus, I've since stopped using them. The 4x4 icon grid in Sense was the dealbreaker for me.
