So bummed. Tried to install a few of the "Z" roms and it just sits on the HTC Incredible white screen. I've wiped everything, and tried unwiped, and I'm S-Off, etc, etc. Thanks for posting the list though!
[Droid Incredible General] jaykresge:
How long is it sitting? If it's sitting, you should be fine, just be patient. One ROM sat there for 20 minutes before the first load. Deodexed ROMs are notorious for loading slowly on their first boot (it's supposed to do that). ROMs from other frameworks do this moreso. It's been awhile since I flashed Uber-Z, but it was the longest loading ROM on first boot of any ROM I've ever flashed.

If the white screen is flashing, that's a different problem. Do a battery pull, go into recovery, and start over.

[Droid Incredible General] xavier2404:
Just curious..so I don't have to flash EACH rom to find out..any 2.3 roms running sense yet?
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Gingerbread sense?

None yet.
[Droid Incredible General] xavier2404:
Ty. I am no means a developer..nor have any idea how to (took me three hours to create and flash a splash screen) there are only a few things I liked about running a rom with gingerbread: the messaging screen, ..(ie..the way multimedia shows up) actually..the entire messaging app period!, app drawer (I think..it looks 3D??..or like a "cube") and the keyboard.

I am using the gingerbread keyboard..but it does not have the emotions button built in.

Any roms that have these features? I have flashed SEVERAL. I am currently running and love re-engineered v
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Well I'd suggest CM7 but if you're looking purely for a Sense UI then I'm not sure on that one.
[Droid Incredible General] xavier2404:
Used CM7 liked it..seemed a bit much for me. Downloading warm z now..see how that goes. Currently using re-engineered v.
[Droid Incredible General] jaykresge:
We have some talented developers, but porting a closed source framework (Sense) to an open source platform (AOSP 2.3) would take a TON of work. It's also of questionable legality (or outright illegal) to reverse engineer their closed source software, if I'm not mistaken. We've recently got a leak of Gingerbread Sense, and if it comes to the Incredible in an official capacity, then we'll have a stable framework to work off of. As for the odds of that happening, well, the original Desire is slated to get it by June. That gives us decent odds, but nothing guaranteed.

For what you're using:

If you like the stock messaging app as opposed to HTC's SMS/MMS app, you can swap in the messaging app from CM6. That SHOULD work on it. Or, download Handcent and use the Android bubble option (what I'm doing now).

If you want the 3D app drawer, you need a launcher that will do that for you, but then you lose the Sense UI and Sense widgets. I'm sure that would defeat the purpose for you. The closest you'll get back to that would be Launcher Pro Plus and the old Fancy Widget APK, with a custom Sense dock for LPP. Even then, it's not the same.
[Droid Incredible General] alanthemanofchicago:
Trust me. Warm Z is one of the best roms you will ever flash. *see my sig*
[Droid Incredible General] xavier2404:
Wow. Ty. Alot of info. I am trying to follow a few builds..though I don't know what Android version the builds or ports are based on. (Ie. Incredible 2 rom..incredible S..).

As far as swapping the messaging app..like I stated..it took me 3 hours just to do my splash screen...I have no idea how to do that (remove the app from CM6 then flash into my current ROM), but..will try.

The app drawer..not a big issue..just a "like to have".

I downloaded ALL the software I could find to develope..but still have not figured out how to use most of it. Getting ready to move back to GA so extra time is not really an option to experiment right now.
[Droid Incredible General] xavier2404:
Warm Z (once I was informed I needed to revert to older version of CWM) is great! Still have to say that re-engineered v is my favorite as a whole. However, I am running incredible s ROM right now. No camera/video yet..but besides that...its good! Test it out.
[Droid Incredible General] jaykresge:
Two options;

Download CM7, extract the messaging app (not sure what it is called off the top of my head) from /system/app/, copy to your SD card, and install like you would normally sideload an app. You can do this with Astro, ES, or any other file manager.

Download the ROM you're going to use, extract it to your desktop, delete the MMS app included, replace with the CM6 app, re-zip, then flash. Nandroid first.
[Droid Incredible General] xavier2404:
Attempted second option..booted fine..but no meesaging app..trying first option now..
[Droid Incredible General] xavier2404:
The messaging app is a .apk file..do I need to zip it AFTRER I extract it to be able to load it?
[Droid Incredible General] jaykresge:
I misspoke. On option one, use CM6, not CM7. CM7's messaging app is for Android 2.3.

Unzip the ROM you plan to use. Extract the CM6 messaging APK to the the ROM you plan to use, into the /system/app folder, then rezip the entire ROM.

Ty. I tried CM6. had no google apps. Flashed the gapps file..still nothing. Could not even manually add my gmail..only Exchange.
[Droid Incredible General] xavier2404:
Actually..now that I think about it..is the gapps file for CM7 different than for CM6 because of the 2.3 & 2.2? Or..am I thinking of the wrong ROM entirely..and DONT need to flash the gapps file?
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Yes.

[Droid Incredible General] jaykresge:
Ok, clarify for me. I thought you were talking about the text messaging app. You're talking about the email app? Clarify for me and I'll pull it up for you.
[Droid Incredible General] xavier2404:
Well..the text messaging app. But I would like the keyboard for all uses. I think its the same keyboard as the gingerbread keyboard with some additional tweaks minus the "emotion" button in the lower right corner. I can just download the keyboard from the market though.
[Droid Incredible General] xavier2404:
Trying to get the stock rom back on my phone (as a back-up). I am wanting to stay rooted. Followed the link on the first page. Some reason it keeps saying installation aborted. I tried going s-off and put the stock rom on root of SD. Hboot says something about an image..but does not ask to update. Any idea how to get the stock rom to install?

Might want to add this..I had an image of the stock rom saved to SD but yesterday I accidently formatted my card..lost everything. Could that have anything to do with why I can not get the downloaded stock roms to install now?
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
You need to boot into clockwork and flash the .zip from your card.

1) I would think you would know this.. but you can't flash it without it being on the card. So connect via USB and make sure it's there.

2) Boot into recovery aka clockwork, it should have a black background, not white. You can boot into it through hboot.
[Droid Incredible General] xavier2404:
I finally got it to work. Had on SD card. Wiped everything three times..flashed the ROM. First time was stuck in bootloop. Re-wiped, flashed again..came right up.

Thank you.

A ton of developers rip from CM7 but they usually credit, I haven't seen any on his site.

[Droid Incredible General] Humanio:
What ROM would you all recommend if I wanted the following:

HTC gallery

HTC camera/video cam

HTC clock (alarm clock,timer,stopwatch, etc..)

HTC Hub access (could live without, but would be nice)

customizable pulldown power widget (gps toggle, wifi, bt, data, flashlight, etc..)

awd launcher, or similar sense launcher that allows me to customize the app drawer (list, horizontal grid, vertical grid)

gestures.

Any good recommendations? I really like HTC camera,gallery, and clock most of all. However, coming from a Moto Droid, CM6/7 have really spoiled me when it comes to customization and features. I'm having a hard time finding the best of both worlds.

I welcome your opinions and recs!
[Droid Incredible General] powerdoesntrun:
SkyRaider Sense 3.5 gets my vote. It is by far the smoothest, most stable Sense ROM I've used. Plus, the dev is coming out with a new version any day now and it's going to have some new, allegedly never-before-seen features. It's going to have some stuff from gingerbread and Sense 2.0, despite being based on froyo. It's all HTC Sense, has customizable pulldown widgets (right now you edit it in a text file, but I think the new version might have a CM7-style configuration option). The new version will also have a configuration menu, a-la CM7. I don't know if it will have built-in gestures, but there are gestures apps.

Also, I would recommend trying LauncherPro over ADW. I keep hearing how great ADW is, but to me, it's slow, just like stock and Zeam. LauncherPro is super fast on my Incredible and has TONS of customizable features. Why anyone would just a different launcher, I don't know. I guess if you desperately want a transparent app drawer, which only seems to slow things down.

CM7 has sooo many awesome features that I have not found in any other ROMs, and is definitely what I would go with if I preferred vanilla over sense, which I have tried so hard to do but can't, but I keep coming back to SkyRaider. Just look at the 3.5 thread and see how many people keep viewing and replying to it because they are so excited about 4.0. I personally can't wait.

My two cents.
[Droid Incredible General] Humanio:
Thanks for the reply that was a very thorough response. I too agree that CM7 is awesome, and I loved it on my Moto Droid running Launcher Pro.

Is it safe to assume if I ran awd or launcher pro, htc widgets wouldnt work or is this something that Skyraider is able to do? Either way thanks again for the response. I see skyraider is on Clockwork Mod so I'm going to give it a whirl and see how it feels. Looking forward to playing around with it. :)
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
Skyraider is a Sense ROM so I'm 99% sure you'd have the Sense widgets even if you're using a different launcher.
[Droid Incredible General] powerdoesntrun:
The OFFICIAL sense widgets actually are not available with LauncherPro, but it includes its own widgets that look almost exactly the same. Although, in my opinion, they are better because they don't have crazy big images and text on them like the stock widgets do. Plus, if you buy the premium version, you can even re-size the widgets. Or you can increase the number of rows on your home screen, and you can tell widgets universally to either fill out the new rows, or to maintain their original size. It's nice.

I haven't tried each of the four gingersense roms but I don't believe the 3.0 ports are wholly lag\reboot free as they are still in early alpha/beta stage. The gingersense (Sense 2.1) ports may be more "stable" than the Sense 3.0 roms.
