Now i llove the honeycomb launcher but I want to know if it is possible to port the sense UI from the htc flyver or view over to the iconia. Like an actual launcher app no root. Also, does anyone have aa tablet version of the xda app. The one one fc when loading post to fforum and a few other things. Thanks lol
The launcher straight from sense would not run as it needs sense but you can download helauncher from the market and it has a sense skin

My dream is CyanogenMod ROM with HTC Sense. I like HTC dialer, contacts and HTC Launcher. But now I'm trying Launcher Pro with Beautiful Widgets and Pure Grid Calendar and it's look also very good. Instead of HTC keyboard I'm using Swype now.
I also like this:

But it doesn't work for me, for now.
I am currently developing a build at the minute. If anybody knows were I can download a sense rom I can disable sense and just have the features you request. Currently I only have the nexus one builds which I dont particulary like!

Don't forget a feature ONLY CyanogenMod has so far... a real working Audio DPS with graphic equalizer. Something Android badly misses compared to WinMO.
me too!!
I would be! but im not lol
Sense on winmo is amazing, but I dont see the big fuss about it on android. I do like the keyboard though

There is a Froyo rom for the MyTouch Slide, but it doesn't have the Sense UI, and even though I always use LauncherPro as default and not the Sense Launcher, it feels weird not having Sense UI, so I switched to SlideMEROOT5.
Even though you can use other launcher instead of the Sense Launcher.
The Sense Dialer, Music Player, onscreen-Keyboard, and the Sense Task Bar!!! Are part of the best of the Sense UI !!!

I had to go back to a Sense rom for the dialer. Cannot believe stock Froyo dialer doesn't search contacts as you dial. And the Sense mail app is better too, can actually move mail to folders. Other than that I use Launcher Pro and its widgets.

I like Sense without the Sense Launcher too All the little stuff that HTC brings like the keyboard, fm radio, the camera app is better too. I like Launcher pro with all the shortcut dock.
Like others, I like the "other" features of sense but not the launcher. I especially like that the Facebook link actually works on the sense builds. I use Zeam launcher, because I love the Quick Launch bar and the swipe functions. I am currently using mccm's new sense version and getting ready to try Sergio's new entry.
I really want the Froyo to have Sense already!!!

Hi!
One other feature, in addition to the keyboard and dialer that I cant live without is the link feature in sense contacts. I find that feature extremely useful, the way you can link Facbeook, Google, exchange and phone contacts is unique to sense. I could perfectly well live without the launcher and the sense widgets though.
hello guys, it's me again.
i am browsing the android development section ever since i changed to the revolution rom.
i see there are some roms that have htc sense and some that do not. i understand that the htc sense is the UI the phone come with. i think that i'm right thinking that it's the 7 pages + widgets. probably some other stuff too that, well, i'm too newbie to understand.
what i don't understand is if htc sense has the stocks/twitter/facebook etc and whether you can have htc sense without them (gee, i don't think this sentence made sense...)
ok, let me recap and explain. when htc sense is "present" do i always have to deal with unwanted apps like the stocks/twitter/facebook etc or there are sense roms that don't have these?
i really like the htc sense UI but i totally dislike facebook and the likes ( i don't use them at all )
are these things linked to htc sense? if i want to get rid of them, do i have to install a non sense rom on the phone?
i really hope what i wrote is understandable (used the word "sense" too much)
any help would be appreciated
Cheers !!!
You can uninstall the sense apps, should you wish but then your left with the sense framework still consuming precious CPU cycles. So imho if you aren't using all the sense crud i.e friendstream etc. why not lose sense altogether?
I know it consumes more power, sense that is. But if I install a senseless Rom, will I still have the 7 pages + the widgets? Or if widgets won't be installed, can I add them later on?
BTW, how can I uninstall all the sense apps since I can't see them in the app list? I read that you can do that from titanium backup..
Cheers !!!

Sense is the "Front-end" to the phone, the "desktop program", in a way. The cool thing about Android is you can use other front ends (aka Launchers), there's a ton out there with a different look and feel: LauncherPro, ADW, Zeam Launcher, SPB Shell 3D, most of which are less bloated than Sense.
So, if you don't plan to use Sense, some developers offer a non-Sense version of their builds mostly so as to save space
If you do want Sense, though, I'm really not sure if their built-in widgets are removable, pretty sure it's all integrated.
But, if you want similar widgets without having Sense, there are tons of alternatives, look around the Market. Pure Messenger Widget is very powerful and customizable, for example, and LauncherPro Plus (paid version) has some good built-in widgets too!
Sense is HTC's UI, you can flash no-sense rom, such as CM7, MIUI etc.
Google apps is not permitted integrating in CM's rom, so after you flash it, there are not the apps like you said. but you can install them.
I think this link should clarify. The what u lose are basically all ur htc sense stuff.

Hey all, I've been looking around but haven't been able to find my cup of tea exactly. I've been looking for a sense based rom that allows me to use HTC apps and widgets, however I want a customizable dock and number of screens, like that off launcherpro. Is there any such thing that exists?
Any sense rom will let you run launcher pro.
Except you can't use htc widgets...
Nope, if you run a launcher you can't use HTC widgets. However, if you buy LauncherPro Plus you get a, bunch of widgets that are similar to HTC's widgets.

Launcherpro plus has some sense like widgets, so it depends on which widgets you are looking for.
You can also look for ROMs/themes that change the rosie look and function.
Short answer though, is no, no ROM exists like that.
Hi
I own a HTC desire HD, running SENSE UI, so I use to be able to maipulate separate desktops on this smartphone (Gingerbread 2.3, Sense 3.0).
As it seems it is not possible to such things on the built-in Iconia Application launcher, could you tell me if you use an alternative launcher, which one, and if it is optimized for the tablet ?
Thanks
Nico
You could use either adw launcher or launcher pro or spb shell 3d..(a bit pricy...but it deserves $15)...personally...i find the stock one better.....

I love zeam on my phones and just side loaded it on the iconia but it wasn't good. Tiny little icons and the widgets (cnn and news 360) looked terrible or didn't work at all. Uninstalled it after screwing around with it for an hour.
I'm using launcher pro and it works pretty good. I like the Widgets it provides.
I bought spb 3d shell at a discounted price of about $11 US and like it very much on the iconia a500. Very fast and smooth and nicely "showy" too.
I don't need them now that I have a sense UI phone but go launcher is free and you get the widgets for free unlike launcherpro. You can also do 3d homescreen effects. A lot of people hate on it but I like it.

i am looking to change launchers in CM7, because ADWLauncher just feels so slow and clunky when I open the app drawer. That animation is brutally slow on the kindle. unless there is an easy fix to that, what would be the easiest way to replace the launcher? is it possible to get a stock launcher?
You can download and install most any launcher.
Sent from my Kindle Fire (CM7) using xda premium
You can get the stock launcher from gingerbread, just search Gingerbread Launcher in the market, I think it's from modaco. Also, you can disable the animation in ADW, its in the settings somewhere...
I use golauncher ex from the android market, its pretty fast and easy to use. It was recently update to use a more tablet oriented interface as well .
I'm a fan of Zeam Launcher - free, stable, lightweight. If it's only the animation giving you troubles though, I would just turn off the animations in the launcher settings as mentioned before.
