What is the best non-sense UI rom for TP2?

richardb85 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-17-2009, 03:12 PM

I'm interested in flashing my tp2 with one of the roms here, but it seems almost all of them are running sense-ui and while I think it looks great... it just kinda bugs me that it doesnt work in landscape in every mode when you slide out the keyboard. I know this isn't a huge issue for most people, but for me it's a dealbreaker lol. Are there any recommendations? What I'm looking for is a rom with eye candy and a degree of stability. I somewhat prefer manila over titanium, but I'm willing to give either a shot.

mighty rom works in landscape and it looks good, stable.
also energy rom 2.1 works in landscape looks good aswell and stable

Thanks, I tried mighty rom and it seems like exactly what I wanted.

What does Mighty ROM do over stock. It looks very stock to me with just a bit of eye candy.

And I've see a few issues posted with it as well. And so many folks that have tried ROMs and ended going back to stock for stability and speed.

Like someone mentioned they have problems running Exchange with any of the ROMs.

I need 100% Exchange working.

The things that bug me the most are Zooming in Opera 9.5 and Voice Command but no ROM seems to resolve that.

I like the option to use Landscape too. Kinda defeats the purpose of this monster phone without landscape.

What problems have you had with Exchange? I use Exchange and have not had an issue with any of the roms i've used and i've flashed most of them...

i wish some of the cooks would consider integrating Mobile Shell instead of Sense as rstoyguy did for Diamond and TP

The only thing I see with the roms, is that the ram utilization really starts to climb and makes the touchflo slow. If I disable the touchflow, the phone is fast as hell.

For me, I guess the little bit of eye candy is enough. The orange-y sprint stock rom just looks bland in comparison imo and I like having the weather on the main screen and I don't have to only choose from major cities, I can use my gps location. In the past when I had a diamond, I felt like some custom roms improved my battery life as well, I haven't really had a chance to test that out with this rom but I guess we'll see and I could always reflash if I needed to.

For the OP...

TF3D 2.1 has landscape...2.5 was designed for the LEO...which like its older brother the HD...doesn't offer landscape (except music and photos)

Other UI choices...Point UI (free), SPB Mobile Shell (not free officially), Titanium (base UI for 6.5.

Also, beware of the 23XXX builds of WM 6.5 (technically known as WM6.5.1) that flavor of WM has the start button and shoulder buttons on the bottom of hte screen. The "taskbar" is reworked and MOST custom taskbar icon cabs doesn't work natively for that as yet.

Since you are on Sprint I'd suggest trying Cfay's 1.1 Rom. Don't use his provisioning, use the one on the Sprint TV sticky, then install the cabs on the Sprint tv sticky. Real solid stable ROM
