just curious what people are using or like
Using cm7 and the only thing I miss from sense is the Calender app and all the Widgets. Oh and also the browser. But I would say no sense

For calendar, agenda widget is a better replacement to me. For friend stream and the sms widget, I find pure messenger widget is great replacement.
As you can tell, I much prefer the smoothness and customization of CM myself. But sense is pretty candy I'll admit.

I'm currently on cm7 and now that almost everything works, I'm liking this better than sense. Also, much easier to theme lol.

Sense has its ups but all in all I gotta have my aosp. I started with it on the moment and didn't even think twice about putting cm6 and aosp roms on my heroc. So for my shift it was kind of a no brainer. Although the shift did make me start to like sense more then I already did.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Sense is definitely the most polished and developed of the "skin" frameworks, imo. There is a lot to like about it as mentioned above, but I prefer going without it.
Never liked sense til mikshift...I prefer an aosp build but hate cyanogen..since the g1..so til I have enough time to get a mikaosp I'm pro sense lol
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
I like either one. To be honest

No Sense.
I don't *dislike* Sense. There are a lot of great things about it like the widgets everyone loves and tries to imitate. It just takes up a lot of space and uses a lot of resources to run. Though I have to admit I've never seen it run as amazingly fast and smooth as it does on the Shift.
That said, CM7 is light, fast and awesome. I mostly missed the Sense calendar widget too, but the one in Launcher Pro Plus is pretty slick and fills that gap nicely.
If I had to choose I would defently go with sense best skin out there by far. I think I would also choose it over aosp

Sense looks ok, but I don't like the inflexibility of it. If I don't want it, I want to be able to delete it, and Sense doesn't like being deleted in my experience. AOSP for me.
You can't beat the social integration Sense has, but with a little bit of work pretty much any aosp rom can be ALMOST equal.
CM7 is great. The theme engine is great as well.
My rom of choice for the last couple weeks has been MIUI, sure there's no wimax or mms but mms is coming I'm sure. When I'm in wimax coverage areas for now I just nandroid.

I was glad to not have Sense on my phone anymore when I flashed CM7. I think stock Android 2.3 just looks cleaner and more professional than Sense, and HTC has made some odd choices with the updated Sense UI (is a themes button on the bottom widget really necessary?) that I don't like.
CM7 all the way for me.

Agreed. I was never a huge fan of the AOSP look before, but with the change in 2.3 to the more unified black theme, black status bar, etc. it looks really slick and professional. Sense looks nice in some aspects, but I guess I just don't like the "everything is shiny!" thing going on there.

I prefer sense, it just looks the most "refined" to me. And with the Shift, it really flies.
But, I'm running CM7 at the moment, and getting used to it. I still miss some of the sense goodies tho
Haven't been on Sense since I rooted my Hero. When I rooted this, got off sense right away too. Not a big fan of sense, it's just too much.
Sence, just cleaned up a bit.

Yeah I know alot of people like it pure google.
but to me it just isnt appealing or as functional.
the hero was my first android device so I did get spoiled
with htc sense. Just to my likings that it brought a better
experience and refresh to the Android interface. Widgets and apps.
I prefer it over TW. There are just a few things I prefer TW
over sense per say.
I think the rom was released and then discontinued for the galaxy s i9000 due to the devs having muliple issues that they were not able to resolve. Link to post --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877902
The only thing I ever liked about Sense UI were the widgets and the Weather effects.
With LauncherPro, you can get pretty much identical widgets, and then Beautiful Widgets will give you the same look of the clock widget. Plus, LauncherPro is infinitely customizable and you can do pretty much anything with it....
Sense UI has always been extremely laggy and slow in all the times I've used it, as a ROM port on my Nexus, and also stock on the Evo/Hero.
Wouldn't mind trying it out again on my Epic though!
The older version of fancy widget is also a wonderful alternative to the sense clock/weather widget.

+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 agree with you on the vanilla part. However there are something's of sense that I like. Like the text selector I think it is superior to aosp. I would love to run a sense 3.0 rom without the lockscreen. That ring annoys the crap out of me.

How much pain has it cost you really? what else did you install/ flash on your phone that you think it's making it lagging and as for color i really dont know what to tell you. when you post stuff like this, it's like a slap in the face to the developers. be careful how you critique what people have worked hard for..
All i can say is thank you Derek for your work..
Not to beat a dead horse, but I agree with everyone else. MIUI is every bit as fast and smooth as plain AOSP, and with a lot more attractive UI and is more customizable. If it wasn't for the lack of an app drawer, I'd probably have used it longer.

If the only thing you dont like about it is that is it missing the app drawer just install a new launcher like go launcher
Edit: Or install an app drawer from the market like "organized drawer" and it is just like miui has an app drawer

MIUI paired with the app ALTDrawer = pure awesome. it gives you an app drawer while still keeping the functionality of MIUI, doesnt change the screens or messes with the stock launcher either

Thanks, I hadn't seen that. In it's description it says "Move a shortcut of AltDrawer and replace the old app drawer of your launcher", but obviously MIUI has no app drawer icon to replace. Do you simply make one of your dock icons a shortcut to Altdrawer? If you could post some screenshots, that'd be great.
Miui is definitely fastest ROM out there. Not to mention highly customizable. Gonna have to agree with the crowd
