Doesn't look like he's rooted. You can't just install Sense 3.0 like you install Launcher Pro.

Nope, but give this one a try: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free
I just rooted my phone today and flashed a rom with sense 3.0. It's pretty awesome, i think i am gonna stick with it for a while.
If you are not rooted, please do give it a try. Just make sure you make the appropriate backups.

Guys please search a bit on the forums. You can find the custom roms in the android development forum
Also yes sense 3 roms are gingerbread.
Now, since they are mostly.experimental, do some research first, get to know some android terms (like nandroid ,clockworkmod, fastboot, adb ,RUU etc) read all of the stickies and then go flashing a rom. What's important when flashing roms/radio/recoveries/bootloaders is to understand what you are doing before doing it. If you do it that way, there are high chances your device won't end as a decorative rock/brick on a bookshelf
Also this is not the correct section

Yes, the guy is correct. Reading up is very important.
You could try one with 3.0 mods, 3.0 lockscreen, weather etc.
The rom that i am on now is InsertCoin, stable build. Very stable, and it's on gingerbread. I highly recommend it.

Since the HTC legend recently got Android 2.2 Froyo w/ sense, is there going to be someone to port the rom to the Slide?
I love the functionality of sense but I don't want to have to downgrade to eclair to get it.
So if anybody knows about work being done on that or if someone wants to volunteer, please inform me and anyone else who passes by this thread
Its gonna have the same problems as the 3rd sense rom because we don't have the official 2.2 kernel for mytouch slide! Which means I don't think anyone is going to port it! Check out 3rd sense though its stable enough and is the same sense ui

Hi! I just bought my desire HD a while ago. I came from xperia x10 and been following their forums here in xda. Although they are both Android phones, it seems that I am confuse and not familiar with the terms used in this forum. So I want to ask help frm any of you who are already familiar with this phone. I want to have a guide as to where will I start; rooting, updating firmware, optimizing, etc. As i find most of the posts here too confusing and i don't know where to start so if anyone can guide me thank u in advance
I second that.

You will get many answers to that. My favourite daily is Rcmixhd v05. Doesn't update as much as some others but its the best option if you want a nice smooth experience which is close to stock. The gingerbread keyboard is great too. It is better than HTC stock.
The truth is that there is not that much difference between the different roms except some cosmetic things, and the odd added app.

Hey Everyone,
I have a rooted desire z with an insert coin rom installed.
I want to mess around with ROM Manager. When I go to perform the 1st step, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, it asks me to confirm phone model.
Options are HTC Desire HD and HTC G2. I would assume I want to use the G2 as this is pretty much the G2.
My phone was originally Bell Mobility.
Any insight would be great.
Thanks.
Yip choose the HTC G2
thanks!...now to decide what rom to try.

Choose whatever you want. But remember there are more options than show up in ROM manager. You can download from the dev section too
Also, ALWAYS back up in recovery before flashing. Save yourself a lot of headaches.
Dont limited yourself to what can be downloaded through rom manager, head to the developers section here and read up on the different flavoured roms

And recoveries lol, 4EXT is actually pretty damn cool, and has more features than cwmr, and it's from the same creator I believe
This is only my 3rd adnroid, 2nd i've rooted.
The 1st was a Rogers Dream so I was limited to CM6 really.
One thing I wonder on the desire z is do I need to flash a different kernel? I would guess no since the insert coin rom I am running is Gingerbread 2.3.4 the kernel would be fine for something like CM7.1.
Anyone running CM 7.1 on a desire z? how is it?

When you install a new ROM (like cm7) it installs a new kernel with it. FWIW the CM7 stock kernel is amazing.
There are thousands of people running CM7 on the Vision. Head over to the 7.1 thread and see what people are saying. Its worth a try. I like it.
If I go with CM7.1, any way to get a good looking sense clock/weather widget? The ones on market suck to put it simply....
The onlything I like about sense really is that widget...

Different developer, but 4EXT is based on CWM.
I guess I could just use Launcher Pro instead of ADW and then buy the Sense Widget for $1.50...

hmmm.... so? what ROM should i download? CM7? or InsertCoin? what do you recommend guys?
Why don't you just try yourself? Would take much less time than reading about personal preferences of people
I never tried CM and probably won't in a visible timeframe, because I chose HTC over Samsung because of Sense (and the fact that my operator had the DZ dirt cheap compared to others ).

I prefer InserCoin. More complete for the device. CM7.1 is okay...but like the last person said, sense is why some ppl like htc...buy htc...etc.
It is all personal preference, but from what I have found so far...sense roms, insertcoin included are much nicer on the device...
Do NOT flash your hero phone with 3rd party ROMs unless necessary. I have played with many kinds of ROMs for 1 year. Most of them are downright laggy, unstable, or battery-draining although you could have some new features. These Roms are not fully tested. Some of them even contain spyware... You normally need to wipe your phone for most 3rd party ROM updates and that means you need to re-configure your phone again and again.. Now, I got my stock ROM back after making a Gold-card and I'm very satisfied with my HTC stock ROM. This is a fast, stable, power-saving and fully-tested ROM. Upgrade is very smooth and not painful.
I would suggest you to flash your phone by RUU and then root it by some tools, e.g. http://www.unlockroot.com/. But, please keep an eye on the install procedure. Do not install unnecessary apps unless you want.
The above is only my personal experience. Hope it helps.

You must have been loading up some really bad ROMs if that was your experience. What kind of spyware have you even seen installed in ROMs? Each to their own.

Yeah, if it wasn't for custom roms I would've gotten myself a new phone ages ago. If you want a bugless Rom you just flash a fully tested Rom, if goin want to try something new flash a new Rom. I've never heard about spyware either.
sent with love from me to you
My used ROMs include Crons, CM, Villian and some others that I can't remember. At present, I don't think there is any spyware in Crons, CM, Villian. Crons, CM, Villian are generally recognised as good 3rd pary ROMs. However, I don't think any of them is more stable or faster than stock ROMs.
I found some spywares installed as system apps in some Chinese ROMs disributed from hiapk.com and bbs.anzhi.com.. These are individual-maintained ROMs.
To my understanding, if an app requires extra permissions than what it actually needs, then that could be a spyware.
I'm not a professional mobile device developer. What I need is a rooted ROM that is bugless, does it job well and therefore suitable for everyday use.

Well, New features are very likely to require more computational resource. If you had a machine for win98, and you wanted to try Win7 with that, then I would suggest you not to do it.. HTC Hero is extacly that win98 Machine.

@gnubot, which stock ROM did u flashed?
Now I use a repack of the oficial OTA 2.1-update1,flashed it and i get some Force Close errors(like com.htc.bgp etc).
I tried VillainROM v12 and v13 and i was stuck on the load-screen (i think it is the Sense app that is stuck on).
I saw that @dastin1015 uploaded his Zero Hero Sense 3.5 ROM, looks nice and I would like to try it, but I have some doubts about some bugs. Also, i searched the forum, and couldn't find any info on how to downgrade to 2.1 (if something goes wrong). I can't post a question under the Developer forum (as a new forum user).
Any instructions or help for me(a new android user).

I'm a custom rom addict, rarely do I have a rom for more than 2 months before looking for something which more/better features. Sure there's some laggy roms out there, most of which are still in beta so you can't expect them to be "perfect" Roms. That said, there's plenty of excellent roms being worked on by some very clever and creative people, that go above and beyond the features stock roms offer. Get them from trusted sites/developers and you'll enjoy the experience

The fact is that some Sense lovers are tired of laggy new sense ports I guess
Therefore, a stock android ROM is not a choice.
So, in a way, I must admit that gnubot is right.
But we can't deny that the work that JieeHD, dastin1015, elelinux and other devs did is pretty awesome!
And to finish, I don't really remember how many months HTC devs took to make a correct release of the new Sense...

That is SO correct!!
I've tried non-Sense roms, they're great and fast and stable and good-looking, but not for me... i don't feel comfortable with them.
I even have got back to generic 1.5. So getting back to stock is not a solution.
At this moment, i have Wildheroc RoseV5, it's sense and it's GB.
I'm waiting for the Zero Hero Sense 3.5 to be "stable" and i'll flash it
I just had to post in this thread because of the title. It's pretty ridiculous that you'd create a topic on this site as bline007 said and not somewhere else. Especially using that topic title? You didn't really expect that anyone would agree with you I hope. For your sake I can only assume you meant to say "Be careful I've found some 3rd party roms with spyware" or the like.
P.S. I apologize for the flameish response but I feel a lot of patronage for this site and it's members because of the work massive amount of work and personal time they have spent to make my 'legacy' phone go out of it's comfort zone just to bring us features, options and a longevity we never expected from this phone. So please don't taint the hard work of the developers by making posts with titles as such.
I need help deciding which ROM to do with. Looking for a ROM with little to no bugs. I like the way Ice Creamed looks. but i notice that they are all in there Beta phases. If anyone knows a ICS with little bugs i'd like to try it, or a Gingerbread that they'd recommend would be great.
I don't know what to look for when choosing a ROM, as of right now I am just looking for looks, if there is things i should look out for i'd like to know
Also when i install a ROM do i need to install a new or specific Radio or Kernel?
Thank you in advance
Sense or Stock AOSP?
If you like Sense, check virtuous affinity or Android Revolution HD.
If you prefer AOSP, go for CyanogenMod 7.2. It's not a real "stable" build yet but it should be ok.
My best advice : get Titanium backup and try a couple :-D

What he said. All Roms on XDA are beta as they are hacked versions of official roms so no one will be able to tell you how each one will react on your device. I would just follow the way of XDA. Try it and see if it works. If not then try to figure out why or move to another.
