HTC Rezound
Stock ICS Rom - Rooted 4.0.3 Sense 3.6
S-ON
I'm looking for a new ROM for my phone, because the Stock ROM runs kind of slow. I've tried using Liquid Cool 2.9, but I had problems with reboots. I also could not change the default keyboard to the standard T9/Phone layout that Sense 3.6 has.
I'm having trouble finding a good Sense ROM to try out that might run much better than the Stock ROM. I'm requesting Sense in the hopes that it will have the T9/Standard phone keypad layout as an option.
I use EclipticRez v9 with the latest Lunar kernel. It is by Hawknest in the Android Development section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962230 The ROM is linked off-site and the latest kernel package for it by Snuzzo is near the end of the thread currently. This has been a very snappy ROM/kernel combo for me. It does have the keyboard/phone/compact layout options on the HTC stock keyboard.
Sundream's Sense 4.1/4.5/5 hybrid ROM has a lot of promise too, but have yet to give it a go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419155
I would recommend to also consider looking harder for an aftermarket keyboard that has the layout you prefer and add that onto a Jelly Bean ROM if any of those work well for you.
I had problems finding the download links for eclecticrez. Is everything working on it? Camera? Beats audio etc

Check PM if a Google search didn't do it for you.
Yes, Camera works well with more features than stock. Camcorder too. The only warning with those is *not* to attempt to take pics during video recording(keeps recording, but freezes display until exiting app), and avoid using burst shots on camera by holding button for shutter (sometimes works, sometimes crashes. No harm in trying on non-vital shots.) These are not features in stock camera, so nothing *lost* here feature-wise. Just don't have the extra processing chip newer HTC phones have dedicated for image processing.
Beats Audio is universal on apps on headset plugin, just like Sense 4 and up. Works fine and better than 3.6.
But it does have the phone compact keyboard? I would love a jb ROM if it had beats and could find the phone keyboard layout

EclipticRez has that layout. Uncertain which JB ROMs if any have that built in; may wish to find one you like first then ask about it for that particular ROM - or just try it. Try out Play Store keyboards as well. Still searching for one suitable here.
There may be Beats aftermarket mods on XDA for JB now, I also suggest the one I PM'ed as well, Viper4Android Audio.

The best sense rom i ever used was ViperRez by Joelz...pretty solid sense rom and has more features than just htc beats...the way it was built was fantastic...however you can download a Beats for jb and obviously its a root required apk but ill have to find the link for everyone

+1 for Ineffabilis Deus, if you want a Sense 3.6 with the ability to customize that just works, this is a great option.
The ROM I'm using for my Rez right now is EclipticRez Revamped v9. The Lunar kernel is great, and I prefer this over ViperRez because I think Joel is going to stop updating ViperRez.

It hasn't been updated in over a year to begin with has it?
Ya he stopped around the beginning of the year...before I finally switched over to aosp this was my last sense ROM and sense ROM of choice because of its stability and customizability... Not to mention boot animation and boot sounds actually worked for this ROM back then but doesn't now

decent sense rom
Hawknest's Ecliptic Rez was updated in May of this year to v.9. and Snuzzo
has been updating kernels constantly - last ones this week.
This sure is a daily user, no hiccups anywhere.
Great on battery with Funky Kernel.
I've flashed most all the custom roms trying new stuff, but keep coming back to ERez.
Another Vote for Ecliptic V9
I'm 99% sure I'd be done with my Rezound if it weren't for this ROM. Definitely a daily driver.
This is a ROM that I'd feel comfortable putting on someone else's phone. On my stuff, I'm willing to mess around and deal with odd bugs, but this is a daily driver for sure.
Sundreams ROM is good too

Thanks for the ROM!
Hope you like it, I cooked it from scratch.
Does this have the ICS dialer or the sense version?
Edit: Nevermind, it looks like the sense version in one of the screenshots. Still looks like a great ROM.
Sense dialer.
Stock SMS? SWEET!!!!
Does the sending of pics work?
MMS does not work as of yet, has been added to the bug list.
Is it sending with GoSMS? Just curious? May try this out this afternoon.
Haven't tried GoSMS yet, been at work all day. I think it has to do with not having the APN settings set -inside- the ROM, though. Still, not sure as of yet. Will test it out in the morning, Central Standard Time, US.
I'll be testing this out for you. Nice work.

Okay I am having a really hard time trying to figure out how to change the dialer from sense to aosp. I heard that joelz made a flash able zip back in the day but I can't find it. I thought it would be as easy as swapping a few apk's in system/app but apparently that's not the case. Can anyone help? Running slimrom btw.

I'm not an expert but I dont think its possible because of sense and the framework resources. Or you'll have to do a lot more than just swapping a few apk's.

While personally not a fan of the AOSP dialer, I'm a huge fan of the AOKP dialer (I also think the same one is used in CM9). It's simple, elegant, and has T9 searching built in.
The Sense one is laggy, bulky, and slow.

That may actually be what I'm referring to. My last phone was running cm9. Oops
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I should have included this in the post so my apologies, but I don't think it's possible. Even if you replaced the APK with the stock or CM9 dialer, I think it would crash. HTC has heavily modified their Android source and framework so the HTC Dialer is deeply embedded in the ROM and can't be replaced.
With that said, you can get an APK from the market that will replace the dialer, but it's not a true dialer. It basically acts like a dialer then sends the dial commands through the phone's stock dialer. They're finnicky at best, usable at worst.
Just my opinion though, I may have some of the details wrong as I'm not a dev.
The only 2 things I wish I had when I was on Cyanogen was the Sense Dialer and Camera app...both are superior to AOSP (at least at that time).
Sense Dialer having the smart search is a godsend.

Newer Cyanogen (7.2 and up) has a modified AOSP dialer that integrates smart search. Very slick.
Yep. That is what I am now running on my nexus s 4g. I'll go back to stock once jb is dropped or cm 10 is out.

Wow this is the best rom I've used. I just flagged version 1.3 and its simply fantastic. Runs smoother than slim Rom but still has all the sense goodies. It's fully customizable and I'm running Sebastians oc kernel which makes it run even faster. The beats audio sounds way
better than before and it works with all apps not just that HTC music app.

As I mentioned in the other thread, GB development is pretty much dead for this phone. There are a number of GB roms but they aren't being updated anymore. The phone bar at the bottom is from Sense 3.5 on GB, it's going away with the ICS roms as you've seen.
MMS count??
When I installed 1.03 I cnat get the MMS/SMS count to show up on the icon. Is anyone else seeing this?
I am on the ICS firmware and S-on. When installing it rebooted to install the kernal for S-on.

Best bet is to search for this in the Viper thread in the dev section, I do believe it's a known issue though.

Awesome ROM! Props to the Venom team.
The first time I installed that rom, it did really random stuff. I couldn't send/receive mms. I had performed a full wipe, am s-off, etc. So I went back to nil's sense 3.6 rom. I wiped and reflashed viper 1.0.3 and it seems to work smooth. The horizontal app scrolling drives me insane, but other than that, I'm digging what I see.

I have only every seen a handful of hybrid roms and they are difficult to maintain from my experience with them, the closest you will get is if someone can import the libs and somehow get it working that way but things like image sense are proprietary and it takes a lot of work to reverse stuff like that. Try one of the bloat removing scripts, I don't remember the name but one removes rosie and replaces it with a ics/jb based launcher so you aren't just running a launcher on top of rosie
If you install the new Viper 2.0 ROM you can choose to install it "Senseless" which gives largely the look of CM10, but you'll still have the Sense Camera

RacerOfAll has a sick AOSP theme because he hates Sense but wants to keep using Sense features like the camera.
His Viper4G 1.0 theme is awesome, but now Viper is on 2.0 and the theme hasn't been updated, yet, so for the now I've manually pulled some of his apk's from the theme, manually replaced other apk's with AOSP versions and am using an HTC ICS skin and a 3rd party ICS launcher.
Basically, there's lots of stuff you can do to Sense ROMS to make them appear near-identical to AOSP while keeping Sense under the hood.

Awesome, man! You're gonna love it! I'm not going to release anything publicly, but once you're rooted let me know and I can send you the apks I use to make my phone look stock ICS.
I recommend Viper4G ROM from the Original Android Development forum. It comes with an awesome tweaks app that will let you customize the icons in your status bar to AOSP style. If you flash a different ROM I'll help you get it as AOSP as possible but you'd be on your own for the status bar
I might start a thread in the theming forum with screen shots of my setup and directions on how to emulate it now that I think about it. I'll be out of town Sunday so I'll check back here on Monday

Well ... after trying Stock, CM10, and MIUI, I was having buyer's remorse ...
But then I installed CleanROM DE.
Holy crap! This thing rocks!
Does anybody know if it's possible to merge a few ROM features together? Is there a current t-bolt ROM (maybe one of the new ICS ones) that has the items below?
I'm using boot manager and have my main ROM as one of the Thunderstick variants. My day to day ROM however is Thundershed v1.6 CM 7.2 It's a June 4th build. I'm using this one since it is the only ROM I've come across that has a working BT stack that can handle BT keyboards. When I went driving to my family's place about 2 hours away for Thanksgiving, I turned on iON Road and had it try to turn on my GPS. The GPS failed and never got a lock. When I was leaving today, I booted back into the Thunderstick ROM and the GPS worked fine. Prior to finding this Tshed ROM, I went back and forth between the Thunderstick ROM and ODJDub because it has a sense that would properly rotate when I put it into my dock. Here's what I'm looking for in a ROM.
Stock launcher that can properly rotate.
Working GPS
A BT stack that can handle BT keyboards.
If I could package up the BT stack from Tshed's work and inject it into my main ROM, I'd be thrilled. Is it possible? If not, does anybody know if any ROMS currently support a BT keyboard, have a working GPS and have a Sense UI that can rotate? (I know sense 3.X and up does properly rotate but below that it won't). I asked Tshed on his twitter if he could release his BT stack in a form I could flash into another ROM but it seems he's grown exceptionally busy in recent months.
Sense 2.1 and 3 are the only sense versions that have a working landscape launcher orientation and it has to be enabled to work. Sense 3.5 and up don't have it because HTC doesn't have a tablet that uses landscape and runs a version of sense higher than 3. You might try liquid ICS and see if your keyboard works with it.

Sense 3.5 and up don't have it because HTC doesn't have a tablet that uses landscape and runs a version of sense higher than 3. You might try liquid ICS and see if your keyboard works with it.

Liquid ICS? Okay I'll give it a try. Have the ICS ROMS been working with boot manager? I thought I remember seeing that BM had some issues with ICS ones for awhile.
I'm sure there I at least one person that was able to get it working.

Everything works except the video camera on Twisted's ICS combo rom.
Everything works on Santod's rom and that has the Sense UI you're looking for
Both rotate with the stock launchers.
Each has their + / -
I'm currently using Thundershed 1.6 with Tiamat's kernel and Holo launcher and everything you want except a Sense UI works. I think Thundershed had Go Launcher stock, but you can easily replace it.
If you read Shed's OP for Thundershed in Rootzwiki he talks about a GPS work around, but I thought that was fixed in later versions. You can also download GPS Status from the Play Store and see if that helps you GPS issues.

I thought the version that was ported for the t bolt doesn't have it and besides sense 4 is almost useless on this phone.

It might not. Newt also devs for the Rezound, and the rom for the Rez has(or had, because of the whole coredroid blowup) it, but I'm the not biggest fan of it. Some Widgets just look bad in landscape

Landscape also uses lots of ram which can cause a ton of redraws. In sense that means a lot of white HTC screens.

If your only issue with Thundershed is getting a GPS lock have you tried saving a nandroid of Thundershed, then flashing a Sense ROM to get a GPS lock, then restoring your Thundershed nandroid? That's how many of us with AOSP ROMs fix our GPS.

Nomad and FirePsyche, thanks. I'll poke around. The way my phone is currently setup is that my main ROM is a Thunderstick. It uses the stock sense and Go. Go rotates of course but the sense doesn't. ROM#1 is OdjDub and it had the rotating sense (never use this one anymore). ROM#2 is my Thundershed. Yes, he uses Go for that. Due to his working BT stack with BT keyboards, it's my primary ROM. I went through a Freedom folding keyboard and a HYPE mini before I found out the issue was the BT stack with most ROMs. That is how I finally came across Tshed.
Others-thanks for your input. I was insanely curious if it was possible to take Tshed's great BT stack and use it to replace the BT stack of other ROMs and see if it would allow the proper keyboard syncing.
