IncredibleDoes has released a rom ported from the desire HD.

YES it is the NEW HTC SENSE.

It's in BETA and has some bugs but it's definitely something worth flashing!!! :D

HTCSense.com - you can sign up in the phone but you cannot connect to the HTC servers since htcsense.com is not live yet

Disclaimer: All credit for this ROM goes to IncredibleDoes. I am just re-posting info.

Download link appears to be broken. Cease and desist?

Link is up and working.:D

Not much choice for now. And with the current status of this ROM, I think I'll wait for just a bit more maturity for it.

I agree. I am keeping a close eye on the Rom and will be updating this thread as new info comes out.:cool:

its a truly beautiful sense... I flashed it for a little bit today but I dont mind messing with it and then flashing back to virtuous ... only thing I noticed is that in .2 i couldn't get my non gmail to even select to add it... flashing .2.1 now to play with it for a little bit...

one thing I did notice is that the apps automatically started to dl from the market once I booted up and entered my gmail acct... kinda annoying but nice for those who dont have titanium

for those of you looking for screen shots...
I downloaded the metal skin... and then took some screen shots of what I noticed was different... powersaver mode for 1 is an addition... the ringtones and stuff ui has changed alot...

I'm going to run with this for a few days maybe... all that really doesn't work is the camera and I'm ok with that for a few days...
