Yeah, a bloated and slow UI bogging down my fast phone.

**** sense! That's why I bought a samsung device.
This should be in XDA general/general thread.
good day.

No i wouldnt use Sense either....if it was slow. Alot of people LOVE sense. I love the useability and friendlyness!!!
Chopper I know you hate sense. But I need eye candy man!
There are about 15 good devs working on getting The NEW sense UI on to ALL Galaxy S phones.
Its a Good option. Isnt that what Android is about? Options???
BTW were on the same team!!! Team Android!!!
Android = More Freedom + Choice + OPEN MINDS
Apple = Well .... nothing but Apple!!
And you gotta admit Sense has the best widgets!!!

If your phone was soooo fast, then it wouldnt get bogged.

even the fastest phone will slow down if the UI is bloated.

+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.

Sence roms = 256mb
AOSP roms = 80mb
No bloat?

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.

Sillian rom?

What happen to it? I don't see the Rom forum here no more...
Sent from my HTC G2 with Sillian OS Mobile using XDA App

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.
Mods, can we leave this thread here for a TINY bit, just so anyone else looking can know?

interesting...i was actually going to download the "new" version and check it out. guess ill just stick with what i have right now....

Aww that sucks the Rom was starting you like the Rom.....

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.

Third strike for Sillian.

Shame, I was actually really excited to try this out. When I downloaded and installed 4A it was really underwhelming

Uh oh! You just provided a link to a website that is known to host ROMs with pirated software. lol
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.

Sense SDK

Should be interesting here, should help with the dev's who want to port over sense to other devices.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/03/htc-announces-opensense-sdk-and-htcdev-offers-paradise-inside-i/

Not at all. It pretty clearly says that the SDK is set up in such a way as to make it no easier than a straight up port when it comes to non-sense devices.

IMO, i don't like it, but I also really like it!
It's great that they're developing Sense, but for me it's too much of an Apple-like move, cutting it off from everyone else.
Android is about "open-source" and well this SDK thing, just locks you down to Sense. :/

Who are you referring to when you say "our"? And I'm not talking about a UI. I'm talking about the move to create a mini-market for only Sense UI things. Not the actual UI, of course, each manufacturer to their own UI, it's what gives them an edge over the other manufacturers making similar spec android phones.

Why would they want it? It's not bad, just very okay. Sense is better but not amazing. MIUI FTW.

I was gonna say the same, but then again is a matter of choices and preferences, something that should not be forgotten when you are comparing.

Ehh, not a big fan of the round icons. I still like Sense, just not as much since all of the sense reboots I used to get before flashing MIUI.

HTC saying 3.5 will be compatible with all of there handsets not just their high range phones. Would be nice to see this happen. Sense is getting nicer and nicer but I run cm7 for the speed and vanilla look

And what is this obsession with weather updates all over Sense? Are they vampires who need to know the exact status of the sun before they can go outside?

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.

Don't get me wrong. When I had my hero I was in love with sense. Its shiney and pretty and has some nice features but I need the snappiness to go with it

I <3 Sense, it's just fluid and classy looking to me. But different strokes for different folks right? I run AOSP and find myself trying to make it mimic Sense, what's the point in me doing that?

I like sense 2

Theres just way too much going on. I tried Vanilla with CM7. Never looked back.

Synergy has the option to use the AOSP lockscreen instead (found in settings/display)...if that's what you prefer.

Except if you do that, you must swipe the bars and unlock your phone to answer a call. I delete most system files related to the ring and it gets rid of everything except for the ring. Works a bit better

I think the lock screen is the only cool thing about sense, I like running the sense 3 with launcher pro on top, but
the weather lock screen is awesome so
I keep it, and I like the short cuts.
