The main thing I have wanted in a ROM is better than stock battery life. Tried a ton with bad results, even ones others have said are good. Then I tried sky raider with imoseyen's lean kernel and it's fantastic. I'm very pleased. It hasn't been updated recently but it works great. It also has another feature that seems to be hard to find: the ability to close notifications individually. I use go launcher so I can't speak to the sense features but I have finally found my favorite ROM.
