ICS v. Sense

---

I know it's like comparing apples to oranges, but how do you guys feel about the current development behind the ICS ROMs v. Sense (I've namely looked into The Classic 1.0 and DigitalKarma's Heaven "Sense4 meets Sense1" so far).

I haven't played around with Sense at all since rooting my phone back in September when I flashed CM7. Currently, I have jmztaylor's unofficial CM9 ICS ROM (5-10 stable build, I believe) on my phone and I'm liking it. However, I mainly hopped over to CM in order to get rid of the bloatware, thus increasing my battery life while at college (where I got awful service). Now that I've graduated, I'm home, working, and best off all, I have great service again.

That being said, I've been thinking about trying out a Sense based ROM again but can't decide if I should stick with ICS or not.

Thoughts? Opinions on any and all of the ROMs pertaining to ICS and Sense are appreciated.

I apologize. I only searched the General forum when seeing if this has been asked before, but I just found this on the Q&A forum.

Input is still more than welcome here, as my topic is a little more specified and I'd like to have reasoning behind the input too. But I'll continue reading that thread as well.

I personally love jmz's cm9 rom. Sense does offer 4g and Netflix and camcorder but it usually looks annoying and is pretty slow. Cm9 is smooth and fast with no annoying colors. I can't wait for a more stable version of sense 4 for the og evo.

ok my problem is that i flashed MazWoz b5 which is ics 4.0.3 now when i flash back to ginger bread nothing works right either wont get texting or google play wont load the last problem was that when i download an app to install as soon as it finishes and goes to install it reboots. i did it all i wiped everything but sd card i flashed the roms and if the dev had kernels with it i flashed them as well i then load up and still get errors i have no clue on what is happening.
i am using smelkusmod v4.1 recovery could this be the issue i have an ext 3 as well

Flashed Classic earlier to give it a shot. Sense just feels so incredibly foreign to me now so I decided to revert back to ICS at least for the weekend. After that, I may give Sense another go around.

This time with ICS, I'm giving MIUI a shot since I've been on CM (7 and then 9) since I originally rooted.

All feedback is still welcome, because eventually I'll probably end up trying more to see what feels the best for me.

both jmz's and mazda's cm9's have been stable for me...but seeing mazda's is based off of jmz's it makes sense. aokp has been stable at times with certain builds but i have to admit that i was never had the same results after reflashing at times

Partition your SD card
bump it to ext3
then to ext4 (for aosp and ics ONLY!)
wipe all except SDcard 3 times
then install

I recommend Mazdariders23 CM9 ROM: http://changelogs.tincandroid.com/CM9.html
(Btw mazwoz is now b6)

I also recommend this kernel: http://goo.im/devs/atyoung/Mason-RC/...nic-signed.zip (thats for cm9 only)
here is for all ICS ROMs: http://goo.im/devs/atyoung/Mason-RC/...nic-signed.zip

smelkusmod is now version 3: http://d-h.st/users/smelkus/?fld_id=1930#files

I had to unroot my phone last week to get a replacement I was on jmz cm9 before he left and came back. I didn't miss not being able to record video but now that I'm too lazy to reroot. I'm stuck on sense and I finally tried Netflix and been recording videos more. I still like ICS but I will stick to stock until my next phone.

Thanks for the response but before I signed back on and see your post I flashed teamwin recovery and flashed the stable cm7.2 and every thing is working again I am going to look into re doing my ext partition I think I did it wrong

I like pics much better than sense but! I'm liking sense 4.0 and the port by Platt is turning out amazing!
