hi, sense ui normally doesnt have transition effects when opening apps, it only seems to work without sense, ive tried installing other transition effect (fly-in bounce etc, but, i find them not as nice as the zoom ones.. + they do not work when opening applications in sense..
the new update for the vodafone legend includes very nice transitional effects and i was wondering if anyone here is able to extract them somehow for use in other htc sense phones?
thanks.

I really like the HTC Sense clock/weather widget, and was wondering if someone could give me a file that I can download directly with my phone. I use a Droid (rooted) and I do not want one of the widgets from the market, I don't have any money.
Could someone also give me a Sense live wallpaper that I could also download with my phone?
Thanks!

HTC Sense widgets don't function outside of the HTC Sense framework, meaning they don't work on phones without Sense UI. It's been this way since the original Hero came out and they've never been successfully ported.
Fortunately, this has largely been solved as the Weather Widget Donate, Fancy Widget and Beautiful Widget all supply working alternatives, but as you're without money, I'd say you're **** out of luck.
Edit: As far as the live wallpaper goes, HTC's devices use a slightly smaller vertical resolution than Motorola's phones. The live wallpaper doesn't work for this reason (and possibly others).
search the net for Fancy Widget - it looks EXACTLY like the HTC Sense clock
Hi there,
I have been using htc hd2 for nearly 6 months now and have installed:
cookies home tab editor 1.85
few apps like g alarm, sky browser, torch and a carrera watch
Trouble is my fone keeps crashing and its annoying the hell out me
Can you guys work with me to figure out why? Like can I post something on here that will enable you to figure out why it is happens?
It just keeps freezing and I have to take the battery out and put it back to get rid of the problem, its so annoying...
So any help and advise would be appreciated
Many thanks
P.S. Trouble is whilst I am happy with the way my fone looks now i.e. the wallpaper, the carerra watch , I am certainly not happy with the freezing so how do I avoid this? Please I'm desperate - thanks in advance..
no support?
no assistance?
can somebody please help
I'm assuming you're using stock rom?
I have the same problem with CHT 1.85,; i use the new Energy Rom and the built-in version. Try to use the standard lockscreen, this was for me a help to get less crashes. I think it depends to CHT and some manila versions.
If you want to flash a new rom, here are many threads that will help you.
Yep I am using the stock rom
So are you saying my problem is because of the CHT editor 1.85 I am using?
Should I remove it in that case?
Do you think I should change to the energy ROM?
I just do not want my HTC HD2 phone to crash, it is so annoying - having said that I enjoy the features CHT editor 1.85 provides is there an alternative?
Please help me before I restore to factory settings
Thank you
Your problem looks al lot like thism posted on 27th of august. (If you could read dutch)

Have you ever experienced crashes / black screen when switched on or spontaneously restart HTC HTC Sense on HD2? Here is what I call the most important tips that can help the HD2 of his problems to help:
Note: If you have no problems of course you do not have to. But there appear regularly posts from frustrated people who just seem to have problems. Especially for them, it is intended, although the tips can help anyway HTC HD2 less taxing and therefore easier to react.
The cause of the problems related to self-Sense, which obviously does not run well on any machine. In particular, the background activities of Sense (Data services, weather, etc.) could be "sensitive equipment" for problems.
HTC Sense off is a rigorous but effective solution (Settings, Menu, More, Today, Items, uncheck Hide HTC Sense).
A Sense replacement as SPB Mobile Shell can provide a solution when the interface of Windows Mobile will not (and are most of us, right?).
Sense if you still want to keep using these tips will be given from the trouble:
• Remove sites that you do not need from the Weather application, so the phone in the background is less active (Tap the Clock Sense, Menu, delete Cities)
• Switch to reason that data services that you do not need, such as shares, Twitter and Facebook, in Settings, Data Services.
• Put in Settings / Locations continuously collect location data from
• Remove old SMS permanently (usually first removed and then permanently removed from the SMS application, Menu, Deleted Items, Menu, Clear).
Also keep in mind that if you install third party software, such phenomena also occur (the latest version of Co0kies Home Tab -1.8.5 - notorious example is when you turn it to lock screen). Even then these tips may help, but it will be clear that this is not saving can be when there are errors in the software are installed.
One that opinion is outside the scope of this article, installing a custom ROM. I mention it for completeness, but I'm not a fan of a solution that precisely because the category is third-party software. The experiences are varied, and the popular ROMs appear at every turn to new versions to fix bugs. There is a risk that you're digging a hole to the other gap. But who is desperate ....

Was wondering if this was possible on our hd2s?
I like all the htc skins parts in android (dialer, text, browser, general theme) but want launcher pro instead on the sense home screen.
I use taskiller but the sense stuff always comes back. I did a search and found this on the evo forum. Sounds good, would it mess the phone? Or not work at all?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769525
worst case scenario is that you have to start your android build again.
no danger of bricking the phone anyway......
id try it but id want sense back after 10 mins.....
what im wondering is why dont you just run a non sense android build?
was trying to get it working, but unsure how to run it? its a zip file which contains loads of other files that i cant run?
I use ADW launcher with MDJ Froyo 1.1 Matt with no problems as my default launcher and that is a sense build, it actualy runs a little smoother in my opinion.
I use Launcher Pro on top of Sense (see my build and pic below). It is fantastic. I recommend purchasing the full, as well as purchasing Beautiful Widgets (both from the market).
Fantastic custom screen and faster movement.
woks well, but with froyo I am always fighting for a bit of ram. If froyo is your type of build then launcher pro is recommended. You can still launch the radio via programs
Install your launcher of choice from the market/apk and when you click the home button you'll get a pop-up asking which one you'd like to use (sense/your other launcher). click the box saying "always use this choice" and select your launcher. Sense will close, your launcher will open and that's it, done.
You can change your option later if you regret it in your system settings.
So, what your saying is that it doesnt matter? Its just when using taskiller i see the services restarting all the time...
I'm not saying it won't stop the services from starting all the time (there's probably a way round that as well, although I've not bothered looking) but the services shouldn't use much ram anyway, and they're responsible for other background tasks, not just the graphical front end.
Yeah, I dont want to stop it all...just certain parts. Im unsure how to run the file which i posted up on the original post...any ideas? I would like to try it as it sounds ideal (you might like the sound of it yourself)
I don't think I would run that file with these builds. Go download a Nexus build if you really want no Sense. Otherwise, some files run, but take so little space it is incidental.
For example HTC Sense takes a several MB's when running as your home screen. Using Launcher Pro as default home causes that number to drop to 48kb...almost nothing.
And I would get Home Switcher from the market in case you change your mind later or need to access Sense.
So...just to confirm I cannot get rid of the sense launcher...but keep:
taskbar
dialer
skinned browser
general theme throughout
It it honestly just me that wants this haha!

I would be nice to know how to flash that file uploaded in the evo forum..
Anyone knows how to dit it and ill give it a try
I tried, but dont know how...can any expert look at my original post and see?
Other parts of the xda forum ask for this...but here im told to use either sense or froyo...i want the best of both.
Hi guys,
Sorry if this seems like a silly question, but the mail app, camera apps, and customised explorer are the ONLY parts of the official Sense builds I'd actually miss.
The answer may be around somewhere, but I haven't seen it yet; is it possible to get these apps by themselves for use on a NON-SENSE ROM. So for example if I was to go to Oxygen, I'd get all the benefits of an AOSP ROM and the additional speed, but retain the customised camera, internet and mail app.
Honestly everything else I use can be downloaded from the market, its just these apps I miss when I move away from HTC/Leedroid, infact Im quite happy with Zeam as a launcher.
this has been asked and answered a million times already...
you cant run sense apps on an aosp rom - they require the sense framework to be running, which doesnt exist on a rom that doesnt include sense.
you can run a launcher such as zeam on a sense rom though, and the htc apps should work (dont think the widgets will)
I have WF with Alpha Rev X S-OFF and Jokerdroid 4.2
It is now the fastest ROM with Sense, and there's no doubt about that.
I've read that there is not enough system memory to run Gingerbread-Sense ROM, but maybe it is possible to create some free space.
What is really great about Sense:
- clock with timer, stopwatch
- Facebook integration (espacially calendar)
- dialer and phonebook
- camera app
some people will also like Flickr integration, News Weather and so on...
But I thing we really don't need:
- HTC launcher, which is rubbish and You can't personalize it like Launcher Pro or (imho best - Go Launcher)
- all HTC Widgets as a result
- stupid services, that make nothing more than slowing down the phone (like HTC Checkin)
I got rid of a few apps, like Checkin service, DCS Service, Weather Service, and the phone runs very smooth, I got over 1000 on AntutuBenchmark which is rather a lot.
I'm wondering if there's a chance to get rid of some more Sense crap, that consumes RAM and ROM and only keep it with really good features, that no one has replaced yet, like Facebook integration, dialer.
I'm no developer and all I can do in my phone is deleting some apps / files or editing text files, but is it possible to make it any better at this point? Have anybody tried to cook a ROM with only selected Sense Apps deleting useless services and libraries as well?
This is my first post, so don't get mad
Actually that is not a bad idea at all. I believe there were already some attempts to do that by means of hybrid-sense roms. But I guess there was not enough demand for those roms. I for one would love to have that kind of a rom.
Right now, I am on Jokersdroid 4.2 as well. I installed AntTek App Manager and try to remove/uninstall some of the HTC programs but since I dont really understand what some of those apps do, I can't delete them. I am experimenting with FREEZE function for a while, and if I get no errors/misfunctions then I uninstall them.
All I need from a sense ROM is it's simply beautiful dialer. Rest I can live without.
I don't believe that there is no demand for fast ROM with the best of SENSE. I know barely anything about linux and Android as an OS, but deleting some unused libraries and other stuff cannot ruin the OS, can it? Maybe it will be possible to enable JIT then...
Devs, please look at this thread!!!

Sense rom is rather propritary not AOSP rom - get few apps where this functionality is allready implemented as in sense rom - weather with clock - and many additions not available in stock sense is fancy widgets, contacts manager much better than htc contacts - youlu has more power, camera ? ....
