Hey guys, just a quick one, sorry if this has been asked before (I did do a quick search) Im using Froyostone sense v3.2.7z and I want to drop a few of the desktops, is this possible or am I stuck with the 7 it comes with?
Thanks in advance guys.
Anyone? I would really like to limit these
You are not very patient, are you?
I not sure but I think with a coffee shop it might be possible, but why does it bother you to have 7 homescreens?
If u use sense, then you're stuck with 7 screens, but you could install the adw launcher. That one can be customized, but you lose the sense widgets.

Thanks guys, ohh well, ill stick with Sense ive used ADW for a while now.
I am patient, I used to own an Xperia X10 lol
if i understood you correctly, you can install 3rd party launchers in android builds with Sense. would that affect battery? cheers

Ive tried it. Didnt affect battery.
ADW is prolly the best one out there besides the sense
Try it dude, you can always uninstall

here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709763, its only the launcher (which is the main component of touchwiz anyway). Have fun
p.s. i recommend using a stock n1 rom since people using this have had the most sucess with it
I think we have enough smart devs here to make it possible. It's only a question of whether they want it or not

Thanks for this, it's quite good.
i dont know.. The UI just seems very useless. It's like Samsung just wanted to be different and put something on top of Android. Maybe later down the road.. but I definatly prefer the devs focus more on Sense and Stock but TBH I'm just happy I have android on my HD2.
100% agreed Samsungs android customizations are total junk.
It's the screen the makes the phone, not the Android layout IMO, but taste differ.
Fair enough friend at work just got one and thought the layout was pretty good so just thought if u can then y not

+1 to this l, bro. However, given that there are no sense-based phones with an official gingerbread update from HTC, this seems highly unlikely to happen until then. Otherwise the rom will need to be built from scratch, which makes such a thing highly undeaireable from the Dev standpoint, I'd imagine.

alright, perhaps I need to rephrase. I find that, compared to the crap on the stock rom, a True sense-based ROM is much less bogged down with useless software (IMHO)and includes programs I actually like and use (reader, locations, htc hub for skins, etc). Yes, compared to an AOSP rom or CM, it is much more bloated, but all that comes from the polish applied to the UI which I happen to find quite appealing, but which some do not.
+1 to that... Sense is such a great thing, i love everything it has to offer! just wish the battery life could be a bit better~ other than that i use it as my daily driver!
I know alot of people who don't like sense, when I ask why they can't Answer why. Sense looks good and works great. If someone could combine it with gingerbread I would be hooked. My first sense phone was the hd2 and after coming to the mytouch and seeing how good the sense was I was pleased with what they did.

htc sense is very nice vs stock android.. stock android is sooooooooo boring and doesnt have all the nice widgets that htc sense hooks it up with and the nice looking ui. but the only good thing about stock android is it doesnt take up as much ram as the htc sense does. thats the only thing ive noticed different. also gingerbread is nice to run but i keep going back to htc sense for all the nice widgets.. i really love the weather one.. ive seen apps like it but they arent the same at all.

I for one prefer the AOSP look of Android. And loath Sense, It's so much bloat for not enough to warrant it. and if you want those widgets you get to download what you want. And Launcher Pro has a good chunk of those widgets included in the launcher.
as far as "weather widgets" the one off the LG 2X is perfect enough for me.
I have the CM7 Nighly, I like to try something new, I like Sense but I dont want all the crap that comes with it, is there any rom out there gingerbread with sense?

As I told the last guy who asked this (searching this thread is very helpful, btw) no, there sadly is not a Sense Gingerbread Rom available yet. I assume there will be once a sense based phone gets gingerbread officially from htc (probably the evo or desire hd).
Ya I saw there was none but I though I was missing something. Thanks a lot

Short answer: Mostly how things look: desktop, lockscreen, launcher, etc...And some widgets built in.

Sense also has several really good apps. I've looked for apps that are similar in the market, but I haven't really found any that equal functionality and polish compared to the stock sense apps.

Was removed due to piracy with some apps, as well as hyping up the Sense widgets on a AOSP launcher, yet that wasn't true.

It's really just a Sense based ROM, with an AOSP launcher. Has a bunch of stuff removed, like the Rosie.apk, etc, but when you actually go to add widgets on the default launcher, none of the sense Widgets are actually there.
Anyone try version 4 which supposedly includes the HTC Camera app?

yes because having sense widgets is impossible without the full sense rom frameworks etc.

It DOES, because it's a SENSE Rom, lol. All of the HTC Apps work .. because it's sense. The widgets however don't work, as most suspected they wouldn't. At least not for me.

well if there were sources to the sense apk/ frameworks or the overall sense roms from htc, then maybe it would be possible, but as we all know that is closed source. so a rewrite to make them work is not very likely to work.
btw glad you'r waiting for the liquid_metal rom, you wont be disappointed.

Im also waiting to try the Liquid Rom, nice to see something really different in the ROM game.
lol. Well, at least not all of them do. .. honestly, it kinda sucks though, because his Sense 3a ROM runs amazing, with superb battery life. Even at 806mhz it runs better than some other Sense ROMs I've tried.

Hi guys!
I'm an HTC user and a sense fan however i am very interested in SGS2 and thinking of buying it except that I'm a bit reluctant about the user interface and the overall user experience without the beautiful sense which in fact does make sense!
So i was just thinking if anyone thought of porting a Sensation ROM to the SGS2!
Imagine all that software beauty on this hardware beast! IMO it will be a fantastic combination!
So guys is that feasible?! Did somebody try it?!
PS: Don't flame me or something, it's just an idea...

SGS2 can easily run Sense 3.0!
So I guess no one is working on it!

Talking about User Interface? SGS2's Touchwiz 4.0 is completely different from Touchwiz 3.0. It's more fluidic, intuitive, neat and bright. Try it once and I'm sure you won't want to have Sense in it,.

Sense to me is all show with very little go. Touchwiz 4 is CLEAN, quick, and simple. This is for the UI, the Apps (Email, messaging, dialer) are a different story.
Personally, I dislike both Sense and Touchwiz.
