sense 2.5 and stock rom

[sirreal63]

Noob question from a Noob...I like my stock 6.5 rom, but am ready to have fun with it. How do I get Sense from 2.1 to 2.5? From my research it seems the only way is to flash a custom rom, not sure I want to go down that road as I actually like the 605.3 one I updated to at the first of the year.

FusionRom seems to be an alternative but I don't want to brick this phone, it has worked flawlessly, but I want to be able to do the clear home screens, quicklinks, etc. Am I missing something important in my education?

Search yielded no direct answers, but did find the FusionRom

Edit...I do have the TP2
