As dwellman mentioned, that's the whole point of this ROM - to REMOVE Sense. You're looking at the wrong ROM if u want that.
From what I gather by my previous ROMs I ran (and donated to, always donate for someone's hardwork!), HTC's Sense is actually a combination of dozens of smaller programs that all work in conjunction - it's not just the "UI". Some ROMs have certain Sense apps loaded, others do not, etc. That's what ticked me off when using one ROM over another. Some would install this special app for mail reading, another would install another app. While pretty good in certain things, it was always complicated and seemed to follow only that person's way of thinking. I ended up overwirting quite a lot of their "ROM"'s HTC Sense stuff with CABs and I found on the net to "roll back" things. That's when I found this ROM - perfect. No longer do I have to think about where I am going, I just click it and I'm there.
For example, in the HTC Sense UI when clicking "Mail" they have figured out the registery keys that 'launches' whatever .exe you have configured. HTC Sense has its own "Mail Browser" exe that lets you flick and integrates Facebook friend's avatars (yet another exe running). Clicking further into the thread will eventually launch the underlying built-in Messaging exe. That's a lot of exes and steps to take! Custom ROMs often change this process to load some 3rd party mail reader, or perhaps one that they wrote.
This ROM goes BACK to the way Microsoft intended WIndows Mobile 6.5 to be, to look, and to function. When you click "mail" with this ROM, you simply go to the built-in Messaging exe. That's in. Now, look at all of the exes and clicks that saves?
Reminds me of the new Windows Phone commercials. "Get in. Get out. Get on with your life." Instead of clicking clicking clicking clicking, launching launching launching lauching.
