Root So when 2.3 hits...

Makes some sense now. Haha. Hmm, i wouldn't install 2.3 unless it was a sense ROM, i just naturally assume people mean that now - can't live without it. :eek:

Yeah, I'm the same way. I gotta have sense. I tried CM 6.1 as well as a few nightlies and didn't care for vanilla. I tooled around with SR and a few others and then got hooked on Virtuous. It's just Sense with no fat, which is great by me. Three days ago I found IncDoes Desire Z and was blown away. I LOVE the new sense. Then the camera fix came out and I said done! It's my new daily driver.

It's now my daily ROM now. Finally got it all setup and set to go :)

* Holy crap! Video Effects in the camera!!! Awesome!!!

Thank god im on Business Sense from NilsP (find on XDA)

he updates it constantly, i have never seen a more attentive developer

I've looked at that rom and it's nice. But after trying the new sense I'm totally hooked on it. It's really nice and works well for me. I realize that it's not the end all be all of roms, but for me, it's my favorite so far. :D

you can bet all active rom devs will have updates as soon as we have a 2.3 leak.
not to worry lol.

i would also imagine that as more devices come out with the new sense we will get a more compatible port... possibly with 2.3 included if we are lucky :)

my guess is if we get a 3.0 update we will get the new sense included with that release. (let hope!)

I am thinking about rooting did not think about not getting updated though glad I saw this topic.

You can bet the devs will have it going before Verizon even thinks about sending out an update. Same reason many of us have been running Gingerbread in one form or another for the past several weeks. And why we all had Froyo well ahead of release.

My plan right now is to keep switching between Virtuous 3.2.0 and Cyanogen 6.1 until I'm weened off of Sense. After that, I'm going to move on to Cyanogen 7 when it hits stable. From then on, I'll stick with Cyanogen, and only purchase phones that get supported by Cyanogen. This will ensure that I constantly have an updated OS, something that the OEMs do not want to do.

I plan to keep my phone at least until April 2012, so being stuck on 2.2, 2.2.1, or 2.3 (whatever the last version HTC finally gives us) is not something that I'm looking forward to.

now you got me thinking....im using the stock sense ROM but i used my task killer to shut it down and i use launcher pro cause i like the scrolling docks and other tweeks i can do but i like sense only for the smart dial

my question is being that im rooted do i have to unroot before upgrading to gingerbread whenever/if it ever comes out for us and the unroot again?

You can use CM7 and then use DialerOne to get the dialer from froyo/sense
