+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

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.
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
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
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
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
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
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA Premium App
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.

Its overrated and gets way to much hype..too much is changed to make it "better" but imo its just aosp with bloatware

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.

This is a nice UI from a gingerbread device Infobar A01 from Japan ,
Mixed WP7 and Android feel. Is there any similar launcher?
Saw this on the Android GAF thread. Looks super awesome. Nice to see a OEM/Manafactuer make a totally different UI as opposed to Sense/TouchWiz etc which barely changes the style of Android
love it!!
ok im moving to japan now! bye
Someone absolutely needs to make a launcher out of this. please.

I've been keeping a close eye on Fipplr, and recently pinged the CEO/Founder of the company behind it since I hadn't heard from her in a while. She told me that because of legal concerns, they decided to modify the look and feel. I'm still super excited for it though, and she's promised to keep me updated and let me know when they have any renders/details of the new style.

That's prettyy much like a totally black Android toolbar with white icons... and any way, the phone advertised IS an Android phone with a June(??) release date (hopefully).
Thats ugly, the screen is too crowded, everything is too fat and bulky, theres no room for a wallpaper, vertical scrolling is boring, and the category title bars are too thick

Hi guys!
I'm an HTC user and a sense fan however i am very interested in SGS2 and thinking of buying it except that I'm a bit reluctant about the user interface and the overall user experience without the beautiful sense which in fact does make sense!
So i was just thinking if anyone thought of porting a Sensation ROM to the SGS2!
Imagine all that software beauty on this hardware beast! IMO it will be a fantastic combination!
So guys is that feasible?! Did somebody try it?!
PS: Don't flame me or something, it's just an idea...

SGS2 can easily run Sense 3.0!
So I guess no one is working on it!

Talking about User Interface? SGS2's Touchwiz 4.0 is completely different from Touchwiz 3.0. It's more fluidic, intuitive, neat and bright. Try it once and I'm sure you won't want to have Sense in it,.

Sense to me is all show with very little go. Touchwiz 4 is CLEAN, quick, and simple. This is for the UI, the Apps (Email, messaging, dialer) are a different story.

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.
