Hello!
Just a quickie for all of you Sense Users out there--What exactly is the best Sense ROM? I usually use MIUI, but (no hate) the lack of updates and everything is kind of aggravating and I need a Stable ROM to sit on.
Anyways, what do you guys think the best Sense ROM is?
Things I'm looking for:
-Easy Tweaks (Like the Slide to Clear notifications or Slide on capacative buttons to turn on mods built in)
-Working Camera
-Roam Only Mode
-Some kind of Audio Mod (Sony's or Beats or anything else to enhance quality and loudness)
-Actively getting updated and is stable / ready for daily usage with decent battery life
I haven't been on Sense since MIUI came out, so I'm not sure about what I should switch to during the wait for v4!
Thanks for your help!
P.S.
I have a CDMA - Sprint HTC EVO 3D.
the best... i hate threads like this. 1 million bias responses.
ROM: ive used MeanROM and InfectedROM Eternity.. they both have great developers and update almost every day. (im only mentioning these because i havent used any other 3.0 roms besides these. to be honest though, im in love with the MikRunny Sense 3.5 ROM. If 4g worked and camera preview worked using chad's kernel i would run it as my daily. its definitely worth checking out at least once.)
Kernel: Chad Goodmans kernel. you can find it at infectedrom.com.

Sweet! Thanks for the response. I've already been using Chad's Kernels and Won't ever stop even if they aren't updated anymore!
But, as for the ROMs, out of those two what do you like the best? Might be going on Vacation tomorrow and I need something to flash tonight.
Everyone else, please share your thoughts as well I'll look through them all until 3:00 AM PST.

Okay I'm lazy and Sense-Dumb / f'king stupid when it comes to bloat software (<- Haha), but whats is new with Sense 3.5 and does anything not work on it?
i like MeanROM. if you check the thread you can see Chad likes it aswell and Mikey is building it to run best with his kernels so you cant go wrong with that
MikRunny runs incredible. the only problem is if you use chads kernel it breaks cam preview. but with the stock kernel he uses everything basically works except 4g.
"Known Bugs:
4G taken out for now, once ill get more CDMA things done... ill try 4G again.
No Picture will show when trying to view a picture through FriendStream (this is because we kinda need to live with a diff album version to see 3d images/video)
Some 3D games do work from what i heard lately
QHD widgets - Notes widget is missing the bars on top/bottom"
theres an InfectedROM Eternity 3.5 aswell but i never flashed it. people say its good too though.
If you want something stable stick to 3.0 builds they have a few out that have what you want . 3.5 are buggy .
Reaper midnight blue .
didnt have a single problem with MikRunny besides no 4g and cam preview was messed up because i flashed chads kernel. other than that it was extremely fast and im definitely feelin the shortcuts+clock widget and 3.5 keyboard.
3.0 if you want everything working though. im about to flash back to meanrom right now
Warm 2.3 has been my favorite Sense ROM since I first got my phone. Overclocked with one of Chad's older kernels.. look at that up time!

Don't wanna sound stupid, but what is the big deal about chad's kernel? What makes it better than the stock kernel? I'm using the latest viper rom and using the stock kernel and am getting amazing battery life and keep hearing about chad's kernel, and am deciding if it's worth trying or not?

I stick to stock since battery life is always good for me Nothing wrong with speed just that never helps your battery life out if you kick your cpu up it will eat more juice no way around this if you kick it up to high it will burn up lol
I haven't messed with chads latest kernels don't think I will. Nothing wrong with them just been liking stock tho that's what I prefer others prefer speed lol... From what I hear he kicks the speed up among other things always doing something new to it... I just stick to the OG Stock kernel never let me down smooth no random issues and I don't like having my CPU kicked up
Don't forget about Mean ROM!!!!!!!!!
The Best ROM on this board--Bar None!!!!!!!!!!!!
With Chad's kernel and Mike's tweeks, this thing is Supersonic, Stable and good Battery life.

Mikey even said with his rom he gets better battery with chads kernel. I have to agree. Im using meanrom with chads latest test and im on 1:30 hours display @ 30% brightness, 4g, jumping in and out of tapatalk and browser, and im at 70% battery, and thats after a fresh flash. Zero lag or stuttering. I might add v6 later idk tho. If it aint broke dont fix it. I recommend trying both the kernel and rom.
Edit: 2:06 display now @ 60% battery...

By far this is the best rom for me. Very very smooth. I was on infected rom 1.3.1 with tiamat kernel OC to 1.5 for a very long time. Gave up on new builds till i ran into this. The best part is no need for other kernel or no overclocking needed.

Lol if it ain't broke don't fix it I say that about stock kernel. Not doggin anything Just sayin more speed always eats more battery . I wasn't even naming roms just kernel wise stock always been good. Speed is good if you don't mind battery life. Running both cores all the time doesn't help your battery out. Running WiFi will help battery life out more due to a stronger signal while browsing the web and what not if your wireless signal isn't strong for the area you live at.
Most folks flash things without reading up on what overclocking does the pros and cons of it . Anyway for a bad ass non sense rom cm7 was always sweet back in the day .

I have been a flash addict and still cant find what I like. Is there a rom that gives the speed, fluidity and battery life of asop with the beauty and widget function of sense 3.0?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
http://rootzwiki.com/forumdisplay.php?f=11
There may be some here you haven't tried... I use Skyraider Zeus and I feel it's the best one out.
Good luck, I'm in the exact same boat.
I love how fluid and fast with excellent battery life I get with the Th3ory or Hacker CM7/AOSP based ROMs...but I've spent a bit of time getting "Sense like" widgets and look.
I've recently (Again) turned to BAMF for their uber ROM. 2.5 broke Wifi, 3.0 preview is sailing along flawlessly.
If someone could package a Sense 3.0 type email, MMS and clock/weather widget (that syncs with the city you're int) I'd be in hog heaven and never lease AOSP.
But, I use my phone for work primarily, which means corporate exchange email.
I feel Sense 3.0 handles that best.
wow...had no idea there were so many TB ROMs out there...If you want smooth and stable GB...have you tried the Synergy nightlies? Been running for some time as daily drivers.

I think you're the first to say there's a lot of ROMs. Usually the rant certain people keep saying is that there isn't enough and our phone has no development
Good to hear someone say the opposite for once.

+1 on skyraider zeus preview 2.
I agree that skyraider is a truly nice ROM, but if you want all the widgets your battery will suffer.
Honestly look in to the new ROMs based off of the 2.10.605.1 leak. Battery life on these is amazing.
Not much can help a phone with a heavy user, again your battery will suffer here thanks to the super bright higher resolution screen. The screen will eat up your battery no matter what rom you run.
I think skyraider may be based off of one of the latest leaks if I remember right, which is why the battery is so good with it. It uses the HTC Kernels as well.
+1 for the synergy nightlies, there not aosp but you can freeze what you dont want. ive been running them since they started and i can get 24 hours battery life easy on 4g, and its THE fastest rom ive ever used.
I realize there is already a thread about this same thing but..
I'm wondering as Synergy seems to be faster while viperROM has things like Viper control script..
I don't worry about battery life so that is not an issue, tell me your experiences with each rom, which would you recommend?
this will not end well these type of threads never do on xda ...
i use synergy myself i like the constant updates and svn where i can download a build i want and not have to wait for a official release and i enjoy helping to test in some degree

I liked it before the troll era where people didn't do everything they could to argue with you..
Thanks for some feedback.
They seem about equal but Synergy has much more active (or at least seems like it) devs on their team as they've already pushed through 2.3.4 and are actively working out the bugs and adding the features that were ironed out in 2.3.3.
Viper seemed to have very good battery life and that was about all i was able to see with it; i'm able to get over 24hrs battery life with synergy though after these latest builds.
If you're not worried about the extras that you can do with viperROM like their additional mods and such i would definitely say Synergy is the choice.
I don't know man. I flashed synergy last night and a bunch of things were outdated on it. For example market, google maps, youtube, etc. google talk would crash on launch. my favorite thing about the rom was the dope boot splash screen
Posted from my Evo3D on the XDA app
I was a big fan of Synergy Nightly for the 4G and i love it for the 3D, i used both roms and both are great in my opinion. I think its more of a matter of choice then anything.
i love viper rom but u know that already but the lack of updates is making me want to switch to synergy because they seem to be on top of things.and yes i know viper has a life and its nothing against him i just like to be up to date all the time.
I'm leaning more toward Synergy now.
I flashed Synergy about three weeks ago but flashed away to Viper after I found Syn to be less stable than I was willing to accept for a daily driver. Viper has been more stable for me than stock ever was, rooted or otherwise.
For the time being, Viper has had my vote because of the OCDaemon script included. I went from charging my battery twice a day to going two days between charges. Now that Synergy has the script, I will probably give it a try again in a couple days.
Yea vipers is really rock stable so I don't mind neither is it unexpected to me that the process is a little time consuming. If I'm going to have a shiny new toy, I can't have it be crashing and freezing up on me when I'm trying to show it off to friends

Which is better in terms of performance and speed?

2 days on a stock battery?
I have used both pretty extensively and I must say that right now I prefer viper. For me, it has been more stable and battery life is better, I do not have a single complaint about the ROM and I don't mind the slow updates because the ROM works so well. I need a ROM that performs better than stock but is just as stable because I don't have time to flash a new ROM everyday nor do I want to deal with unexpected bugs.
Same experience, Viper was more stable and gave me a bump in apps, tweaks and performance over stock. Synergy is young yet and I don't have the time right now to follow forums and offer feedback to the dev community. Keeping an eye on it though.
I liked both myself. The Synergy seemed to be faster but less battery life and the Viper gave me more battery life at reasonable speeds faster then stock.
Pros of the Synergy is all the added features and bells and wistles like more cool ringtones and other small to big stuff. Viper could easily add some of that to the current. With Synergy I also liked icons and layout. BUT THE ABSOLUTE biggest thing is.... I had tons of issues, force close on this and that.. I couldnt even get the Weather via sense to work it was always crashing so was some of the live wallpapers and they removed some features I wanted and got rid of alot of the ones I didnt. Honestly if you took the best of both and made one it would be off the hook.
BUT the winner for now is Viper as its rock solid and stable. Its fast enough and has great battery life.
For me the question is what Kernel worked the best with what rom on your phone???
Have either of these ROMs incorporated the 2.08.651.2 OTA update features?

Great feedback on the roms guys. My 3D is in mission critical mode due to work going balls to the wall and I can't chance any issues popping up, but have always wanted to hear honest feedback on these two roms. Really appreciate the non fanboy real talk
Hopefully when work slows down I can try both of them out.
Tried both, keep going back to Viper. Just seems to be more stable. Lack of updates is OK with me because it is working great as is.
Viper ROM fast stable but on 2.3.3 where synergy is on 2.3.4 and right now source code not released yet so he really can't unlock the code for better speed. I used both and synergy is constantly updating his ROM on a daily basis if your into beta builds... Hope this helps

Ive noticed when I flashed the synergy rom it was very lag and the 3D was annoying and I could not turn it off.
As well the font of the apps looked very blurry like.
Is it just me?

Synergy uses Ziggy's kernel. Lately, his kernels have been plagued with lag and other issues, in my opinion. Chingy's ROMs use the same kernel and had the same issues. I couldn't make the lag go away except for using the performance governor, which I don't consider a viable solution to any performance problem. Whatever he does to screw up the governors also makes them impossible to modify. I switched to Imoseyon's, then DreamKernel. Both performed better than Ziggy's as far as lag, and both registered better benchmarks; between 200 to 400 better on Quadrant using the same ROM and nearly identical clock speeds. Ditch Ziggy's and try Imoseyon's kernel. I think you'll see much quicker response.

I just went back to Gingerbread Build 2.11.605.3 for the "Ultimate" Stock Experience.
I just have not found the right ROM for me yet I guess

FrankenROM... I mean Synergy, isn't for me either. If you're looking for an excellent Sense experience, BAMF is at the top of that game as far as features and performance goes. Th3ory ROMs aren't bad, and neither are Chingy's Gingeritis ROMs once you get that POS Ziggy kernel out of there.
BAMF Forever has been the best ROM I have used to this day. Smooth, very functional, and visually pleasing. Plus the Batman Easter egg is pretty sweet.
I have a question though if anybody cares to give a suggestion. I was thinking about trying a custom kernel with Forever, but I'm not sure which one to try: Lean or Dream. I'm also wondering if I would be better off leaving well enough alone. Anyone?

I've used both Imoseyon's and Dream with Forever. Both perform very nicely. I'm not sure I could even say one is better than another with any certainty. I haven't tried Lean with the smartassV2 yet. I haven't had any real issues that weren't related to radios. For some reason, depending on the radio, the screen doesn't come back on every now and then. Maybe it is the kernel, but I haven't seen anyone else talk about that issue.
Yes! I thought it was just me - I liked everything about Synergy except how it ran. I experienced the lag too and it was just really glitchy for me. But I loved how it looked - maybe I should give it another try with a different kernel.....

No but you can google it
i have been seeing all these different roms for ics, and i wonder which one should i install and i am starting from stock 2.1 so is there anything more that i should do before i flash an ics rom.
That's a matter of opinion. If you're looking for straight up speediness: ICS Slim is the way to go on that. However it is devoid of a lot of customizations that people in the community grew to love: This probably won't bother you. (unless you prefer the drop-down notifications widgets from the Samsung builds).
I personally use ExROM which is a nice compromise between ICS Slim's speediness and the wealth of features that other ROMs like Codename Android offers as well as ICS Passion. Unfortunately for me, ExROM doesn't play kindly with switching kernels (if that applies to you). Overall, you should give ICS Slim a try and go from there. A word of caution: prepare to provide your own apps (for music, homescreen, etc.) as Slim doesn't provide those.
If you don't even know which replacements apps to use (assuming you've always used core stock apps for music, email, etc.): then get ICS Passion ROM.
why thanks for the reply, could you direct me to the rom you are using?
also can you check your PM i had something to ask
Newer builds are better.
Try IC Zenwich 1.6
Stable and Fast with all the usual features you will find in a Rom plus all the customizations you may need....
Im using ICS Slim 3.4, hence its name, it is stripped down to basics so you may need to install additional apps, features that you may need...
As usual it has all the customizations you need if in case...
thanks for the input guys im getting closer to able to install ICS on my vibrant
silvercrown i sent you a pm
Another vote for ICS Slim 3.4. I was running a version of MIUI for months, waiting for the ICS ROMs to stabilize. Installation is a little tricky if you're not an uber-flasher, but it's not too bad. I also flashed the add-on pack and it's as complete a ROM as you will need. After 24 hours it's running very smooth. Definitely a daily driver. And ICS is a nice upgrade.

Thanks right now im debating to use either passion or slim, im kind of geared towards passion because i do not want to get apps like homescreen music, and such individually.
but i have been flashing for a while, i've done many phones but the samsung process is confusing, could you help me on it
+1 on ICS Passion/Euphoria
Euphoria has most of the customizations you would want for your phone, quite stable, and good battery life. They've been slow on the updates lately, but the 1 or 2 devs that were working on it are back on. Foreseeing an update soon.
Have been using Euphoria for a month now, nice and stable but apps lag a bit. Would like to know if this is a problem with other ICS roms as well. Btw, Euphoria has great battery life (better than Bionix 1.3.1)
I've tried almost every ICS rom that is currently out, and from my personal experience, ICS Zen 1.6 is by far the best. I have absolutely no lag, and I get almost 2 days worth of battery life on a single charge with the normal stock battery.
It's also very customizable, which it one of my favorite aspects. It has 3 themes that are out right now for it as well, if you grow sick of the ics blue.

From all the ICS roms you tested, can you tell if the ICS Zen have the best battery performance between them? I'm in Passion atm, and battery performance isn't been so good as I thought.

yes it has better batt life ill second anything the guy above your post said. iczen is the best i had screen shops of some insane batt life with extreme use but saddly i erased them like two days ago
Hi,
Just installed that ROM, while it seems OK the browsing experience is HORRIBLE!
The rendering of pages is extremely slow, scrolling is slow, when zooming in it takes some time for the font to go from blurry to sharp etc...
Any ideas?
Thx.

Try forcing scrolling cache in Rom control, and changing the free memory value.
Enable the start up tweaks as well. Also, how long ago did you flash it? Generally, with any rom, you will experience lag the first day or two while the rom settles. Same goes with the battery life. It all settles in after the first day or so. But it wouldn't hurt to download an app like nstools and change the govs and such for now.
Alright. You guys have convinced to me to give Zenwich a try.
The first ICS ROM I tried was Passion 10.6. I found it to be very unstable. So I went back to my old standby, Bionix NextGen v1 with the Overstock 2.4.1 kernel. I recently tried the CM9 Nightly builds. These were much more stable but battery life was horrible. And now there is a big issue with 911. Again, back to NextGen. I was looking at trying the latest version of Passion again until I found this thread.
Are 911 calls working on Zenwich?
I'd recommend onecosmics aokp ROM. I was on passion forever but I switched recently. I had to switch to trebuchet launcher because it's my favorite and it eliminated lag. I also flashed SZ new kernel. I love the customization and nice icons!

As far as I know or heard no 911 bug present . Just don't blame me if it is -_-

So I am very new to the whole flashing scene. This is actually my first smartphone. I have it flashed to Straight Talk, and I love the phone.
I have it rooted, and was thinking about trying some custom ROMS. I tried ICS first, but the lack of a good camera and panorama made me flash back to stock. I use this phone primarily as a camera.
I now have the "stock" Gingerbread ROM flashed. And I was wondering if there were any enhancements I could make to this ROM, or if I would need to flash a different one.
I do like the default layout of the phone. I would love to be able to speed it up a bit though. What I did like about ICS was how I could customize every little detail. If there were a GB ROM where I could customize, but did not lose my beloved Panorama photos, I would definitely give it a try.
Darkys is a great gb rom. Its based on stock gb so it would be reasonably familiar. its fast and stable.

ICS most certainly has panorama mode

You didn't tell us what variant you are on so I am going to assume you have a Verizon fascinate flashed to straight talk.
Geewiz and super clean are about equal for touchwiz ginger bread. Touchwiz has the best camera by far on gingerbread. I'd use the cm7 cherry picks by makelegs if you want aosp.
But seriously, I don't understand why you would use gingerbread at this point. The camera quality from glitched aokp ics to tw gingerbread is nearly equal. Panorama is on ice too.
Oh and darky's rom is only an option if you are on a GSM telus fascinate. It is not for Verizon's cdma version.

Superclean 3 gets my vote. Combined with KGB Kernel it is pretty smooth and everything works.
TSM Res 2.2 is a lot like SC3, but it has more available to customize. For example, you can tweak your clock, use the MIUI battery bar, change text colors, etc. In the end, both are excellent choices. KGB kernel works well with either, and it should do pretty much anything you need it to do.

It does have panorama, but the quality of it is nowhere near the stock version. Having to constantly sweep the camera instead of having it take several instant photos often leaves motion blurs or vertical slips.
I am on Straight Talk, yes. And I am currently on ICS milestone-5. I love everything about this rom, with the exception that I cannot use the flash in camcorder mode, which is big for me, and that the camera constantly force closes.
I take probably a hundred photos a day with my phone. Someone considering it stable when they use it once a week is one thing. It is not stable when used daily throughout the day.
If the camera worked on ICS I would most certainly stay with ICS. I have tried builds from all the devs. The same 2 issues persist. The LED will not remain on for camcorder or torch, and the camera force closes constantly.
Until these issues are fixed I have to use GB. I would like to find one that I can still OC to 1.4 ghz or so. My quadrant scores on ICS are in the 1650's. Stock around 1200s.
The only reason I have this phone over a normal Straight Talk phone is for the camera. Without it being 100% stable and reliable I cannot use ICS
2.3.6

Then your option is basically super clean 3 or Geewiz. Use the KGB kernel with it for a performance boost through over clocking .
And don't put too much stock in quadrant. It is one of the least reliable ways to benchmark a phones performance.

I don't base performance on Quadrant. I only use to to compare "ok X scored 1200 and Y scored 1500".
I am back on the "stock" GB right now.
I actually had just tried the KGB kernel. Maybe I did something wrong...I could not find any settings to overclock with that kernel. Do I need another app to overclock once on that kernel? All I did was look in the options that you get when you click on the KGB app.
I was on GeeWiz also. I flashed the ROM, booted from the ROM and flashed KGB.
I saw some people saying for other overclocks they needed NSFtools or something like that...Do I need that to overclock on KGB?
Sorry if I'm an idiot -,- I've come a long way in a week I think lol.
I would use the KGB app with the KGB kernel. I am a little curious why you wouldn't just use a camera instead if the phone for pictures. The phone will never compare as far as quality goes.

I haven't been on gingerbread for so long...
But nstools is for ics and other aosp roms.
If I remember right, maybe try voltage control? I think that's what I used back then.

I have an SLR camera when I want to take "real" photos. I still take them constantly on my phone.
I installed GeeWiz again and KGB, it is doing the android voice thing right now for its first boot.
When I went to the KGB app before, I did not see anything for cpu or voltage control. The first time I installed it via recovery, so maybe now that I've done it through ODIN it will be different.
If not I will post back in a few minutes.
With my luck, they will get the camera / torch working on ICS tomorrow and I'll get to go through the whole process again lol.
EDIT: Yea, there is no option for voltage or cpu settings. The app opens, you can adjust call / volume boost, and zram settings. Nothing about CPU / Voltage....I'm confused....
Voltage control is an app in the market. I should have been more clear.

Ah, I'll try it. I thought it was built into KGB like it is in ICS.
Really sucks that they cant get the torch working so I can use the LED for pictures because I really do like everything else about the ICS roms -,-
That worked. Up'd it to 1.4 ghz and will adjust the min once I can play with it a little.
As soon as the torch settings work on ICS I will be back to that. I really do love the UI itself. Just hate that I can only use my camera with flash but not the camcorder
Sorry about that. You will also need any of the CPU programs like voltage control,etc. I wasn't knocking you for using it as a camera, was just curious because I don't know to many people who take a ton of photos on their phone. I do here and there, but the dslr is where its at

I have ice cream sandwich on my fascinate and i hate the fact there seems to be no fix for the speaker phone.
Does superclean 3 with gingerbread allow you to use your speakerphone without the echos and feedback?
i like ics but the speakerphone issue is a dealbreaker for me.
