Hi again,
I want to add that big digital flip clock to the front screen of my phone but I'm having a brain fart with getting this done. Can someone please help.
Im running CM7 version 2.3.2. Im also using ADWLauncher EX. I dont know if my phone has the option to add the digital clock to the front and I just have to select it or what?
If you say I dont have it and I have to get a widget to make this possible. My next question is, won't this cause a problem with ADW Launcher EX?
Thanks
BK
if your talking about the Flip clock that was on the stock ROM, that is proprietary to HTC's Sense... don't know if ADW EX has a imatation of it, however you can get one that is very similar only customizable in the Market it is called Beautiful Widgets and no it won't cause any issues with ADW.
Thanks Raven...I know Im being way too careful with this phone...Lol. I was going to get beautiful widgets it seems nice and lots of people like it but for whatever reason in my head, I thought it will cause a conflict because they are two different themes...I know that doesnt make sense
But thanks for the info!

If you have a certain clock downloaded already then long press on your home screen and select add widget. Go through and find the clock you want and tap on it. Is the clock you're talking about the Sense clock or something like it?
Edit: you beat me to it.

I can vouch for beautiful widgets. Its probably the best alternative I've used.

el-jodio...I guess it would be sense clock...its the one you see when they advertise the phone...it has the big white and black numbers...I flashed my phone to CM7 and I dont think I have it anymore unless Im doing something wrong.
When I long press on the touch screen...and window pops up and says add to home screen...it has, wallpapers, shortcuts, and widgets.
When I click on widgets, another window pops up and it shows a clock but its the ugly round analog clock. So I dont think I have this.
Unless it comes with the ADW Laucher EX...but I dont think it does.

no problem man, I was the same way with my first decent Android device (I don't count that Behold 2 I started with). BW is just the replacement for the Weather/Flip Clock. I even have it on the BH2 I gave my daughter and she loves it.
edit: once you flashed CM7 and got rid of Sense you lost it all you can do is get a clone such as BW or go back to Sense (either stock/Ice-Glacier or one the Desire HD or Z ports)

Yeah its gone like raven stated but check out beautiful widgets, its worth the money. It has a lot of different skins and ways to customize it. Or try out other sense roms.

hey guys i am running evo 4g rooted 3.0 sense with android 2.3.3 i believe it is synergy rom how ever i am fairly dissapointed in the lockscreen options "ui" looks my buddy has a rooted galaxy s tmoible version and has some puzzle lock screen which i thought was cool i am wondering why we don't have options like that and, seperate issue why are we only o.c. to 1.2 when just about every other phone can be overclocked to 1.6 for example my asus transformer. is this something to do with locked bootloaders or something appreciate the help. and/or input!

Cyanogen 7 has 4 types of lockscreens you can choose from:
Sliding tab, Rotary, Rotary Revamped and Lense.
As far as the overclocking, it's dependent on the processor.
Please keep in mind that the clock speed is not very relevant comparative to performance.
If you could overclock the Evo's core to 3.0 ghz, without it burning up, it wouldn't necessarily have any better performance than the Evo's core has at 1.19 ghz.

I love the Sense 3.0 lockscreen. It's beauty is in it's simplicity. It's been very reliable and snappy for me.
I tried Widgetlocker for months and never loved it. I started using it so I could unlock my phone with the volume rocker which I still wish was a feature of all roms. I didn't like that I could not see who was calling me when using Widgetlocker to protect against accidentally answering phonecalls. And when I didn't have it set that way, I'd accidentally answer or deny phone calls when I pulled my phone out of my pocket.
My biggest gripe is still that we have to reach up to the top and use the small, hand to press, power button to turn out phone on. The phone is too long and it's just not a smooth process when unlocking your phone quickly.
Try sense 3.0 best lock screen IMHO

I really want to move to cyn but I like sense to much and the overall feel of it, miui is basically android iPhone far as I can tell
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I really like Sense as well but can see where those who hate it are coming from. I gave MIUI a try and much prefer the Sense 3.5 widgets, and all their colorful glory. I've used Sense since it was TouchFlo, so I've always had a place in my heart for it. CM7, while a purists form of Android, is too simplistic and also was too much work to setup to get it functioning like I wanted (my fault, as I really wanted Sense back).
To each their own...
I have tried all the types of ROMs and imho cm7 is the best and the most androidish.
Also I do like the newer sense ROMs(read 3.5).
Everything is about personal opinion and how you use your phone.
just my 2 cents.
cm7 is amazing, so fast and clean, i'd like to use it regulary. it took my breath away when i tried it out. but i'm missing the stock camera, news & weather widget, contact integration. and there were some smaller things i don't remember, all in all it was clean and fast, but did not have all the functionality of sense-roms.
To be fair, i didnt try out CM for some time and maybe i should have get used to it longer. I only used it 3 weeks or so.
i've never tried miui, but i absolutely love the miui-look.
so i'm using a no-sense ARHD with adw launcher ex with miui-icons and i think i'ts the best of all worlds.

ARHD..i had probs wid it...if u use it for a while..you get around 150mb free ram and if u multi task at times..apps get crashed...sense roms are too heavily ram based that is why most htc phones have memory of 700mb...
i'm changing a rom from MIUI, CM, and HTC No Sense, and the Sense itself..
for me, sense is still the best, and now i'm using the ARHD 6.1.5...
Until recently I was hooked on Sense. Now I use blackice which is cm7-like and I like it. There are three things I missed at the beginning: 1/ wheather-clock 2/ news widget and 3/ flip to silence the phone. Now I use the accuweather widget and the ics clock (eight cells combined, so the same as htc's), I wrote a custom news widget for the feed I read and still miss the flip-to-silence (but not that much).
At the end of the day they both have their pros and cons. And MIUI should be shot in the back of it's neck for threason .
i've tried cm7, miui, and a variety of sense roms. cm was spartan but functional. miui (i tried freshly squeezed) was great but it (and cm7) were missing something that makes me stay on sense: the calendar widget. i've searched for a good calendar widget so that i could stay on miui, but i haven't found one as good as the htc one.
i also like the htc lockscreen. i know widgetlocker can do it, but i don't want to run another program just for that...
CM9 all the way
I vote ICS ftw running beta 2 as a daily works ok aside from the listed bugs.
it is too early to flash ICS unless you're a dev and want to work on it for dev purposes...not a good idea to use it for everyday use...
Does anyone know a good sense rom with good amount of free ram?

I guess you could use runny4 with a script to free up Ram. You'll have around 270 MB ram after booting but of course, then script seems to kill the launcher sometimes....especially after using a resource heavy app. It's kinda annoying!
I've been using black ice ROM for a week now and I don't think I'll be coming back to sense, ever(except maybe to take a look at sense 4.0 when it comes out)! For me, it was just about finding the right widgets to replace the sense widgets. I've found quite a few excellent replacements in the market.
I'm still searching for something which can perfectly replace friendstream. I've tried pretty much everything there is...none of them work as well as friendstream did. Anyone got any ideas?

which theme you're using from theme chooser? using sense lockscreen app? which clock widget you're using...
For anyone who is missing the HTC weather wiget from Sense while they are on CM give Beautiful Widgets a try.
And I'm using the ICS beta. Sure there is no camera, you need to set up your data connection manually. The gallery force closes, but installing something like QuickPic gets round that. But all in all it is good enough for me to run day to day.

MIUI is pretty amazing, you dont have to use the default launcher you can install anyone you like but the theme engine is by far the best, it beats the Cyanogenmod theme engine. it can theme everything and i really mean everything from fonts to lockscreen to boot sound.

I agree with MIUI. Live the on the fly customization its capable of. And now with new ES Mod, you can enable native app drawer. Folder up the ones on home screen.

Try "android pro widgets" as a replacement for friend stream. Perfectly fits for me.
All roms have their advantages and disadvantages...I love them all ^^
What bothers me on CM and MIUI is the Camera.
The DHD camera is really good and it is a pity that it is not really supported at both roms.
I am currently using ICS ... Although I have no camera but this rom is amazing
I think the only thing that keeps me going on sense is the notification bar. I'm a big fan of how sense's pull down has a recent apps section an is split into two sections one for recent things and the other for quick settings.
I mean, I understand that you can get recent apps by long pressing home but the notification bar is in like most non full screen apps, pulling it down is simple.
I used to be hard core CM but then i started going back to Sense just for the way the notifications are set up. Perhaps if there is a notification bar recent apps plugin or fix for non Sense Roms, i would leave it.
Hi,
i am waiting for my nexus 4 to be shipped soon, but i am currently not sure how i will like jelly bean without any theme,
i have been using htc's sense on my sensation for quite a a while, about 19 months and the main things i like are the widgets, the contacts and phone theme and the messages app theme,
my questions is that is there a custom rom that is similar to the htc's sense or is the standard google rom ok ?
just worried as i may miss my sensation too much.
thanks in advance.

my ship time was like 6-7 weeks, its been about 2 and half so far
i just cant wait any more!
I went Sensation => One X => Nexus 4
I have to say though, I always preferred AOSP to Sense, so I'm not in the same boat as you. The only thing I vaguely miss is the weather clock widget, but I replaced it with something else.
I'm also coming from sensation.
Had HTC for the past few years just because of sense.
But after getting this phone, I will never look back again. You can find the things you need on play store to replace those HTC widgets.
AOSP is a whole other experience. Better than you imagine when used to a HTC phone.
In my opinion, I can't stand manufacturer UIs and would rather have the stock theme any day.
Use Beautiful Widgets if you want a HTC like clock weather widget.

note: BW is on sale right now so get it before it goes back to full price! definitely worth it.
Coming from a few HTC phones(look at sig).
This thing is blazing fast compared to my Sensation, it's like when I went from my g1 to mytouch 3gs, but with a larger gap. This thing is worth every penny if you ask me. The design, speed, and price are unbeatable.
I use to be crazy about Sense also but after awhile you get use to the much nicer stock JB UI and its widgets.
coming from mytouch4g. definitely prefer HTC widgets over stock widgets but i prefer AOSP performance over HTC widgets
Always owned mostly HTC phones (HTC Magic, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Amaze) only cuz I really liked Sense, especially the widgets. Had an Sony Ericsson Arc for a while, which made me realize how much I actually liked Sense.
Using the N4 now, I've found replacements for most of the HTC widgets, except I really miss the monthly calendar widget where I can see the whole month.
Using Jorte as an alternative but it's not as pretty as the HTC sense widget. Also miss the stock widget, but that's not as important as the calendar IMHO.
i mis the contact book from HTC, other stuff you can fine tune for yourself.
Nothing is better than stock.
Love my Nexus 4.......except for camera....One X camera is great!

I have exactly the same problem.
So far haven't seen a month widget that could match the looks and usability of he htc calendar widget. Would love to know if there is one that could match it?
I have SPB mobile shell 3d and HD widgets.
SPB runs and looks real good on the Nexus 4 so in terms of widgets, and looks I substitute most things I used in sensation, with those 2.
The only thing I miss and can't find decent substitute for is the contacts app, and WiFi calling.
Note: WiFi calling was a T-Mobile specific thing.

i really miss my One S picture frame widget .. i used to have a collage of hoes now i gotta swipe one by one to see them it's kind of depressing. . and the evernote widget sense used was awesome how you could flip through the notes . . i think sense just looked prettier but i'm happy with the N4 =)
Sooo many people miss things from sense
I think we need to pay a developer to port sense onto nexus 4
That would be awesome.
I think I will need to find a few alternatives .

HTC Sensation as well. Best thing I ever did was flash Virtuous Inquisition. AOSP style but still Sense framework so everything works as it should.
Only thing about AOSP is the dispute between Google and Facebook over who owns contact information. As a result, in stock form, Facebook contact numbers don't sync. Considering I relied on Facebook for 90% of my contact numbers originally......
But using Google Voice now for SMS, my primary contacts are all with Google as well now.
Not sure what it is about HTC Sense that's a big deal.
Hi Guys,
Just found this:

I just hope they add 4x1 clock they removed in Sense 5. Missing it so much. Have used some alternatives but ain't satisfied.
Secondly, I can't understand why they removed WEATHER ANIMATION all together. That was one TOO AWESOME feature. Lock screen weather animation and as you unlock you'll get the animation again. That looked so damn beautiful.
Sense 5 is faster, YES, but has sacrificed the beauty.

Keeping 4x2 and removing 4x1 is kinda hard to understand. They'd have kept it along with a new black themed 4x1.
I tried a 3rd party app. EXACTLY IDENTICAL. Doesn't have the flip feature but it's identical to HTC's clock. ALAS! it had the text misplaced on our 1080p devices. Worked fine on my brother's 720p device. In fact, he is now using it on his Galaxy Mega.

Maybe get in touch with the app developer and see if they can add support for 1080p devices?
I'm curious to play around with the Dual Capture mode on the camera. It's one thing that S4 users can rub in my face. I think it would be interesting to use.
As far as potentially being a One Max exclusive... We are on XDA-Developers. It will be available on the One regardless of what they might (but probably not) exclusively release it on.
It will not be One Max exclusiv. The 4.3 update for the international HTC One was delayed with the express purpose of adding sense 5.5 to it before rolling it out to One owners. (this has been confirmed by a HTC exec, if you search for it)
My guess is that they will "launch" sense 5.5 with the One Max (more to talk about when presenting it) and immediately / soon after, launch the 4.3 / sense 5.5 update for the One after it's had its prime time with the One Max.
