I have a DHD build 2.50 405.2 and what i heard is that my DHD will never get sense 3 without rooting it...
actually i dont care if i dont get sense 3 on my device but i'm very interested in only in the sense 3 lock screen
I was wondering if any of you that have the same interest maybe just maybe if we all write in to HTC and request it and maybe ... may consider giving us the sense 3 lockscreen in the next update they make....
just wondering...
what you think?
HTC have said that "some features" of Sense 3.0 will be put on devices other than the Sensation, so only time will tell.
Truth be told, the lockscreen is one of the things I don't like in Sense 3.
I prefer the slide across thumb slider type.

I agree with your last sentance. I think sense 3 lockscreen is the best on any phone, its so customizable
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yeah I agree with you, it is customizable. I just don't like sliding my thumb up to unlock the phone. It's seems unnatural to me. I prefer sliding my thumb from left to right.
It probably all started with Slide 2 Unlock for Windows Mobile. (I never had an iPhone.) After a couple of years of that (with various roms) and then various roms on Android with or without Sense 2, there seems to be no benefit to sliding up or the expanding ring animation.
Still, I do like new tricks and we are lucky we can change to as many roms as we want, when we want, so we are all kept happy.
Peace `Young man'.

As much as I'd like to have the Sense 3.0 lockscreen, I'm not too keen on upgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich to get it.
Why? Well its just that my DHD started lagging to a pretty nasty amount just after upgrading to Gingerbread, compared to the amount of lag on Froyo. Sure, I realize that just because 1 update was screwed-up, doesn't mean that every last one will be so. Also, my guess is that we're gonna see the same problem that the Desire is currently facing with the "insufficient memory".
Either way, would anyone apart from me want to wait till Ice Cream Sandwich for the new lockscreen?

I had the same problem, but then i rooted and flashed a custom rom, and my phone has never been faster!
If I were you, I would just root phone and flash custom ROM eg AR HD . Then download lockscreen add-on and flash :>
I have to admit that after now using Sense 3 for a few days with RCMix3D Aztec v1.0 (thread currently closed), I'm really enjoying the Sense 3 lockscreen (especially with the animated weather). Maybe it was just time for a change again, although this is the first time in ages where I hadn't flashed the next CyanogenMod7 [Nightly] rom. I'd still prefer to swipe my thumb across instead of up but - yeah, the lockscreen is growing on me.
it's been said before on another thread... the icons on the lockscreen should grow when you hold them to drag!
Their is free one on market for any phone

I am not knowledgeable enough to do this myself, or I would. I would like to request a plain AOSP 2.1 build ROM for the CDMA Hero. I figure since the kernel source code is out and Android 2.1 source code is out, this one shouldn't be too difficult to achieve.
I'm not big on the extra apps in a ROM either. I'm talking almost barebones. I don't want Sense either...just a plain AOSP.
Anyone want that too? If so, add your comment here and let's see if you can get someone more skilled than me to do it.
I also realize that it does take time to make a ROM, so if this doesn't come to fruition I'm not going to get upset, but figured I have nothing to lose by asking.
Thanks
yeah would love 2.1
i love the bottom menus with the dots instead of drawer and new icons
i hope its like this onedaylol

A plain just from source build would be right up my alley as well.
I also would like. Anyone want to start a donation pot for the dev that does it? I would donate.
Me too. Just like the Nexus One, no Sprint-specific apps, but also no funny stuff like adding apps or changing colors. What is AOSP?
AOSP = Android Open Source Project

I usually hate posts like this, but the situation DEFININTELY called for it
Sweet, Advanced On-Board Signal Processor, got it.
Uh, that's a joke btw.
+1..... a fully functioning plain vanilla 2.1 ROM for my Hero!!!
This may take some time.. Although we have the kernel, from my understanding there is still some porting that needs to happen to the 2.1 code so that the AOSP will run on our phone with all the different hardware. HTC was right on time with this release i was two days away from ordering an n1 from google. guess ill stick around and learn as much as i can and see what happens
yes please. as plain as possible
You can use flipz 2.1 Rom, turn sense off, and that would be a 2.1 vanilla Rom ...... that is what I'm doing right now for the moment

Besides having the hero apks, does this ROM (when sense is turned off) look and act like the Nexus 1 ROM?
(I would try it for myself, but I don't wanna go through the hassle of wiping my device and restoring all the info/data)
Thanks for answering my question.
PS: I actually like Hero's Phone, Contacts and Calendar a lot more than stock.
Yeah, I would definitely be interested in this too. I just switched over from a Touch Pro a few weeks ago, and have been reading up on Hero ROMs, but none have really caught my attention too much yet. I'm not usually a fan of all the HTC goodies....
(Also, I'm a new poster here.. This seems like a better place for Hero stuff than where I was over at PPCgeeks)

If only
The kernel source is out, yes, but for 2.1 to run at its best, it needs to be running 2.6.29 kernel version, which is not released (for our phone). I'm working on a port, but so far it doesn't boot )) and others may be in the process of doing the same.
There are other projects to get AOSP 2.0.1 and 2.1 on the phone, and those have been working with the 2.6.27 kernel, which is not going to run as well as intended. Of course all it'll take is replacing the kernel, hopefully, and I'm sure someone will make a breakthrough in porting the kernel soon
So I don't not have my MT4G yet. Still have my MT3G chugging away. But I just ordered the 4 so i thought I would ask a couple of questions in preparation for mine arriving next week.
1st. How do you unlock the screen from standby? Is it the menu button like my 3g, & old g1, Or is it an awkward ass button in an annoying spot like the g2 (cant stand the unlock button up top on my wifes g2).
2nd. How bloated is the stock rom? I have seen reports of it being full of crap thats not needed & most of it not wanted unlike the g2 that has a very clean install. And if it is full of **** is there a good factory replacement rom (after rooting of course) that will still get updates & has all hardware working?
You can unlock via the button, or by pressing the track pad
As for bloatware, there is some, but you can always flash CM
Agreed. The power button and the trackpad will both unlock.
As for bloatware; I removed (froze in TB) all the games, my faves, friend stream, visual voicemail, swype and a few other small things.
Runs fantastic now.

right on.. So the biggest problem being the unlock is a non issue apparently. I wish it would work that way on my wifes g2.
As for the OS can you also remove the sence UI. I used it a while back on my g1 & honestly prefer the generic android interface.

mt4g has some bloat for sure. i removed faves/family app and widget, news app and widget, stocks app and widget, flickr, facebook, all of the stupid themes to setup the phone other than carrera, all of the stock wallpapers and ringtones, all of the yahoo crap, monopoly, asphalt 5 and some other stuff i dont remember. phones running great. i made a few of my own tweaks to it, but u can definitely remove the above crap safely with no issue. just make a backup first in case you need to send the phone back. on a sidenote, you said the g2 was a clean install. to an extent. i had a g2 as well and it was full of bloat, right on par with the mt4g. i mean 15 or so google apps preloaded on it, not to mention the rest. anyway though, i hope this helps
I would like to request if possible for someone to make a ROM based on the Final TMOUS Gingerbread ROM found here and including the HTC Sense found in this ROM here but with the added support of US English for Sense (only UK English is available in the Sense ROM so far).
This is sort of my dream ROM and I can only imagine it may also be for many more. Tons of thanks is awaiting and with high anticipation.
just wait a few more weeks and it will be released officialy!
HTC Sense is not just a program! HTC Sense is a composition of many programs and alterations to the Android system. You also need specific kernels and more thing to make it work.
You can't simply copy sense onto a non-sense rom. This will not work. To have Sense working, you will need a Sense based rom to start with.
What you would like, the T-Mobile release with Sense will never happen...
You will have to wait untill the Gingerbread release for the Desire Z is released. Only then will you have a final rom with Sense.
For a start wrong section should be in general.
And if I understand you correctly you are asking for an aosp rom to be merged with a sense rom? Generally getting elements of sense to work on a stock rom is very difficult because most aspects of sense need the sense framework and to get it worrking you would end up replacing most of the stock rom, so you may aswell just use a sense rom. Some things can be ported to stock roms though, you can get the sense keyboard and the live wallpapers, off the top of my head that's all I can think off.

unfortunately not really possible. Sense is a FRAMEWORK, not just a launcher. It includes SO much; it would be very time consuming to do, and you would end up with something that lags, and that is very unstable, Why? You have many good roms to choose from.
Lol this cracked me up. "I have no clue the ridiculous request and complexity of what I'm asking, but let's throw it out there cause xda devs are here to serve!" Think you need to learn a little bit more about your phone, android, and xda, and come back. Not being rude, I'm being honest. Your lucky you have not gotten worse responses than you have.

Calling all Galaxy S II users.
How many of you would like to see the HTC Sense 3.0 in your S II?
If you would like to see it then post here. So that we can have the attention some brilliant devs who would want to work on it.
Come on guys its your chance to make your Galaxy S II look even better with Sense UI.
PLEASE DON'T POST THINGS LIKE USING A LAUNCHER ETC. THIS IS TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL SENSE UI ON S II NOT ANY LAUNCHERS.
Reserved
This is reserved for later
Well it would be nice to have the choice, but its not going to happen. They are struggling to get a functional CM7 on the SGSII, a functional Sense is an impossibility. But definitely would be nice...

I really like HTC sense! A great thanks in advance if you can bring "sense" to SGS2.
Thanks.
I hate it too. That's one of two reasons why i'm now with SGS2 and not HTC Sensation. I liked previous versions of Sense, but starting with Sense 2.1 they messed up app draver, sms app and so on. Sense 3 is a complete overbloated-missunderstanding.
If next HTC phone *will* have 4 gigs or RAM, i'm sure that 85% of it will be used by HTC bloatware. Just Windows Vista way.

Get the sensation instead if you want the UI.
Thumbs up from me. Switching from Desire to SGS2, I missed Sense the most, with all its details... (such as the ability to choose between contact names/pics on phone or Facebook, larger contact pics, smarter dialer, smarter keyboard(especially in Asian languages),the tiny thing even to fade in/out at the top/bottom screen while you're reading,etc.)
It's a pity that HTC doesn't do good harware and tends to reserve top specs for later phones (still can't believe they are shipping their flagship with 7xxmb ram and 1g rom. while iPhone is already rumoring for 64g.)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I for one want it.
And to those who don't,I want to say this.Wouldn't it feel good if your super device could actually run everything?Being restricted to Samsung's firmware isn't the spirit of XDA.We should all like the possibility that would give us more things to choose between.If in the end it becomes available,only those who want it should install it.No one's forcing you.So why discourage development of something many will find great?

After having a Touch Diamond (with TouchFlo, which later became Sense), a Touch HD (with Sense) and then a HD2 (with Sense), the ONLY thing that Sense had going for it was Co0kie's Home Tab. As soon as I started using Android I laughed in the face of "Sense".
Turns out our devices are supported too. No worries on DHD ics update cancelled. Virtous team found a way to make the camera work.

edit: its not Primadonna or Affinity. They are releasing a new rom i think its called Infinity.
Though would I be correct in assuming that even if they do get the camera working fully, that porting such would only work on Sense roms. (i.e.: I don't much care for Sense).
there are already ics roms without sense with working camera so it is a huge step up for desire z.

Well I know that much, cuz I'm using one. I'm talking bout *fully* working camera, all the same bells and whistles as gingerbread and 720p recording. Not talking bout the current state of non-Sense roms.
With that I'm guessing what Virtuous is planning to release camera-wise would be about the same as what some of us are already using.

Hopefully if that's the case, that one can be ported to other (non-Sense) roms.
I know that for some Sense doesn't matter, but I find it as an integral part of owning an HTC device. (The Flip-to-Silence feature got me hooked when I saw the ads ) and each and every time I tried another ROM, I found myself going back to the good ol' Sense. Whatever version it might be (2.1, 3.0, 3.5).
It adds small stuff that some people care about - for example, the clock app has a stopwatch, timer, and other functions right in the app. I know I can download another app to do all that stuff, but hey - it's more integrated, it looks better in my opinion and I like to keep things stock because they are more in tune with the rest of the UI.
I really love the „Holo” theme in ICS, but we have to admit it still lacks in the App department. Yes, you can get apps to get the functions, but they aren't as finished and as polished as Sense apps.
Also, that Car Home app in Sense 4 is S-W-E-E-T!
You see my point. Different people have different needs. I'll stop here, or else this post will get waaay too long.

Yea I can certainly understand the appeal of Sense, as I've tried some of Virtuous's roms, problem is that for me it's much too sluggish most of the time and I would prefer some functionality over some of the aesthetic. (kind of funny when I say it that way, cuz my somewhat minimal ICS rom looks cleaner than the gingerbread stock Sense I had).
In any case, any progress is good progress considering that the alternatives we were waiting for (i.e.: DHD/etc getting stock ICS) isn't going to happen.
In regards to cameras. Right now on the rom I'm on right now, I can take 5MP pictures and record videos at 720x480, granted however the process was much smoother and crisper in gingerbread ( I guess cuz you'd get full hardware control in those cases ). But as long as one can actually take a quick snap or scan a barcode I think that'll make most people happy across the board.
We all love the virtuous team though
