I've noticed just about every other android has this.. so I was curious. How hard would it be to port the "HTC Sense UI" theme to Droid 2? My dad has this theme on his Droid Incredible.. and my brother has it on his Droid X.. so I was curious. I really like the theme. Honestly, if it works good enough. I'd be willing to donate to a developer if they could include it in a rom. Currently running Squidly's FullBlur 2.3.2 deodexed w/ BigDX Serenity White Ported Theme for D2.

Is it Sense UI you want? Or just the flip clock? Because if the clock / weather is what you're after. There are a couple ways of getting that part on a Droid 2. I use Weather and Toggle Widgets app with h7c clock and h7c weather themes.

no no.. the actual UI. I have an awesome clock/weather widget already. No need for widgets. I want that half dome shaped home bar that it has. Wish i could just flash Droid Incredible's image over to my D2 lol
If you can do some basic photo editing you could probably make something pretty close and load it as a skin on launcherpro. Heck, somebody may have made one already.

Here you go. You must have launcher pro. Don't for get to back up your home screen settings through launcher pro so you can revert back. Watch the utube video so u know how to use it. No root needed. You must extract the navbar.zip to ur sd card to retrieve the images. Enjoy.

Is it possible to run the stock sence clock/weather widget on my rooted eris runnin kaos rom ver 30?
Thanx
Rob
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
No, it is not. You need a ROM with sense to run Sense widgets, and kaos froyo is not Sense.
try the resurrected "fancy widget" in the HTC Incredible themes/apps section.
no animations but it cosmetically looks the same

Didn't see any download links on this thread? Any ideas where to get it?
I use this one, Weather & Toggle Widget, it is Very customizable

Beautiful Widgets clock & weather with the Airport One skin is virtually identical to the Sense widget.
Hi, I'm pretty new to the android world, and I know dhd runs on sense, so what would running something like launcherpro do? Is sense removed or is it just running in the background? Oh and must I root? sorry if I sound so noob :X
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
launcher pro is excellent, the best and smoothest android launcher, but has an initial learning curve
It doesn't need root, you can install it and make it the default launcher then restart your phone, once you do the sense launcher will not be loaded neither will the widgets.
but the framework of sense like gallery and mail for example will still be there, which is really a good thing since they are a lot better than stock android apps
No need to root and sense will still be there if you uninstall Launcher Pro..
You may want to look at my thread which is useful, it gives you custom icons and 100's of docks to use..
Its in the apps and themes forum..
I couldn't be without the scrollable dock now..
Ooo! Thanks basically, I install launcher pro, restart phone, and get a 'blank' home page?
What does launcher pro replace then, the 7 home screens? Does the keyboard change?
Will running launcherpro mean more artery consumption? And what do you mean by dock? Oh and, apps, accoubts, calendars all that still remain the same.right? I'll try to search for your thread thanks!
I love this forum thanks so much for bringing this new android user so much advice xD much is appreciated

LauncherPro is a great launcher.
Unlike Sense UI where it drains lots of battery power.
so if i just use it, without rooting, will battery life be drained very dramatically? sense UI doesnt suck battery in the background right?
Linked contacts all those will be gone i presume? if i use launcher pro
Okay, I just downloaded launcherpro free, any way for me to get more widgets,like a clock?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Your best bet is to go to applications in settings then find htc sense. Click on it and select force stop, that will clear the defaults. Then press your home button and tick always choose this option and click on launcher pro. No reboot required

thanks~ now fiddling around with launcher pro, but is there any guide to make my notification bar like the stock one, which is white? or any tips on getting widgets?
I thought beautiful widgets had loads of widgets -_- i bought, and didnt know only is weather. too late to refund ~_~
oh does using launcher pro increase the battery usage? because is the htc sense UI some how running in the background?
I love launcher pro, but I keep getting prompts to set my default home when I use widgetlocker

Using launcher pro has approximately doubled my battery life. I was getting only 2 - 6 hours out of a charge before now 5 - 12. All the things that were burning juice like maps sync, freindstream just dont run constantly anymore.

Notification bar - switch back to HTC Sense, find a theme which has a white top bar, switch to that theme in HTC Sense and then go back to your launcher. You will still get the status bar at the top and lock screen according to your HTC Sense theme settings.
Widgets - well, i think best would be for you to look at this forum :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
and especially these two themes :

To your other questions - alternative launchers replace just your home, that means the main screens + application list. The rest still runs like if you had HTC Sense home.

Select your home in settings of WidgetLocker (Settings>Behavior>Select System Home or HomeHelper's Launcher, depends if you use HomeHelper or not).
Okay, I'm looking for a good 2 row / 4 column homescreen widget. I'm so annoyed and can't find a good one. I have fancy widget and beautiful widget. Any other suggestions?

Simi clock

I like GO Weather for now, although I would prefer if it would launch the clock app when you touch the clock...hopefully they will add it in
I like fancy widget, you'd have to search for it, I don't think its available for download anywhere official. I iseit on my captivate and my aria. it looks and act (mostly) like the stock sense flip clock widget. And you can set it to open specific apps when you touch the weather, calendar or clock...
Edit... OK I'm dumb, I just read right over the part where you said you already have fancy widget...
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
I use fancy widget, but not the one available on the market. I don't like that one. I found an old version floating around on the launcher pro website. Its identical to the sense flip clock (which is why its not available via the market anymore I'm assuming).

lol post those wallpapers
edit:
nice idea, good luck with all that
Dont worry guys! Team Syndicate is already covering this in a new launcher being released on Dec. 1, 2011
I have talked with the OP and it will be a style/option in a new epic launcher coming soon
15. Half naked girl wallpaper
Oh stop whining about the wallpaper, the idea is brilliant, unique and definatly something I would use. The wallpaper is something you can see on womans magazines and billboards anywhere.
If I knew anything more about android development other than the layouts are extremely frustrating when you come from a windows development background, I would tackle this myself.
Yes, these are what I wanted too.
A goo launcher that looks nice and has cool icons with following feature.
1. Hide/Show apps in App Drawer
2. Make folder in APp Drawer
3. Uninstall App directly via app drawer.
If anyone could make such a launcher it would really be great....
@OP
This not a quite hard thing to do actually.
Draw the icons to the wallpaper of your screen size.
Set the shortcuts (or widgets like folder organizer if you want folders) with blank icon at the corners every page.
Set no scrolling wallpaper.
Done!
@yagya
That sounds like stock ICS launcher lol

you can change the app drawer between vertical and horizontal, or 4D. you can also change the background.
The Xperia Home launcher found in this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675639
I was utterly amazed when I found this launcher on here.
I extracted it using Titanium Backup, Flashed MikG 3.11, installed Xperia Home and pushed to system apps.
This works very well in unison with the Car-O-Dope tweak as the launcher is quick and smooth to begin with.
I was looking for launchers like A month ago and someone recommended sslaincher and I have fell in love with it I use to be a go launcher Guy but sslaincher is the most customizable launcher you can pretty much make your home screens anyway you want them in any which way if you can imagine it you can do it
