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.
Will there be a legend 2.2 sense port, if so how long will we be waiting
This has been asked countless times. If the legend gets 2.2, then it's highly likely there will be a port. Being as we don't know if/when it will get 2.2, nobody can say.
Thought HTC announced the legend getting 2.2

Not as far as I know. A quick Google search shows nothing, and I haven't heard anything elsewhere.

Maybe possible to port something from HTC Ace/Desire HD with
Froyo and Sense UI:

Oooo my bad then, sorry! Haven't seen that article before. If it's true then i'm pretty sure we will!
I thought putting sense ona rom should be easy copy over some libs,framework-res.apk from a sense rom, services.jar, rosie.apk and a couple of other htc stuff but obviously not
Now that info on sence has been dropped do you think we will see it on an Eris rom?

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?

Well flash I guess? (Sorry I had to, put me at 10 finally!)

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.

Agreed, been running AOSP forever tryed flashing a sense rom couldn't do it.
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
SEARCH.
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

you can't port sense UI to this phone. the only relevant solution is what i linked to.
Here is a Sense rom for the Nexus One:

I have the official sense launcher, for dext, getting home ill try it on the atrix
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. I'm just being the bearer of bad news and putting it into painful perspective though... lol
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.

The N1 is an HTC phone... not surprising in the least that it would work.

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.

I see what you guys are saying, and yeah I wanted a rom, but oh well. Though, is there an open source project, or any alternatives apart from launchers and themes?

not right now after 2.3.3 there will be because it seems the bootloader is unlockable then.
Is there a release date for 2.3.3?

If we dont have sense 4+, I doubt we will get sense 5.
I think he means this specific feature.
But I don't know man, it looks like that requires a lot of Sense 5 features. Like framework stuff.

Umm we do have Sense 4, go check out the Nightmare Sense ROM. Ran just fine on my Amaze. It may be possible to port the feature provided that it doesnt rely on Sense 5 which would make it a lot harder to port.

Sense 4+ is simply Sense 4.1 that has been tweaked for JB. HTC incorporated some of the JB features into their widgets and thats about it.

I won't belive it till they release it. Quoting it from another forum is not a real source.

Lol. That's not real source either. Probably more empty promises by HTC. But even if they do pull through, the Amaze isn't listed as one of the devices to get updated.
