you can use both launcher2 or rosie, just clear the defaults...
How am I able to use the sense UI if im using the launcher?
You can also use Helix Launcher. But the only way you will get the SenseUI aka Rosie is if you use the original launcher that is included with the Incredible.
Cool. Thanks
Noob here - how do you get another launcher and still use Sense UI? Where can I find a link for something like that?

You can download the HelixLauncher from the market, its free. Still trying to figure out how to use the sense UI on another launcher....

SenseUI is part of the default Launcher (HTCSense aka Rosie). Technically it IS the default launcher. AFAIK there is no way to "Use Sense on another Launcher." You either use HTCSense or you use some other Launcher.
I tried Advance Laucher and it forced closed over and over. Which N1 Laucher are you using. Does it support multi-touch? I tried Helix but it doesn't work with multi-touch so I got rid of it.

What "multi-touch" function are you trying to use at the Launcher level? Most multi-touch is at an app level....browser, maps, gallery, etc....
The launcher I am using is from Nexus One - Cyanogen 5.0.6 rom. It support multi-touch for pic, browser, map, etc..... But the stock rom does the multi-touch already.

That sucks. I was really hoping to use the sense UI on a n1 launcher. Thanks.
I mean, where do yall find all these launchers from? I'm sorry, I just don't know. Still trying to learn as much as possible about, Android. I need a mentor

Not sure if you were asking me or the other poster. The Helix Launcher is available for free in the Market. Honestly, though, I am using the default HTCSense Launcher. I can't imagine why anyone would want anything else.
I've used helix but it seems laggy to me so I was looking for the one he said he pulled from cyanogen.
Yeah, I mean I love the Sense UI. But one of the reasons I wanted to get into Android and get an Android phone was to do whatever I wanted and customize and try out anything and everything. Kind of sucks to have limited options when I was hoping to be able to do everything everyone else is doing with their phones.
I too would like to know how to get the Cyanogen Mod on the Incredible.
I'm guessing this is the one they are referring to. I is Launcher2.apk pulled from the Cyanogen Sholes/Droid ROM. You should be able to put it on the SDCARD and install with a file manager.
Credit to Cyanogen.

Same here. I'm hoping the Incredible get rooted soon. Would like to OC my phone and install different roms. I luv the Cyanogen roms, been running it on my N1 for a while now with no issue and its blazing fast.
I like Leap
Hey everybody, I have tried to search around and I have found no luck, but does anyone know if they have ported the sense ui and can you load it on the captivate? maybe a dumb question i dunno but i figured i would give it a try.
Not yet. Mostly everyone has been working on the gps issues and lag fixes.
just use Launcher Pro and then find a .apk file for fancy widget (a copy of the clock), it's not sense, but its much snappier than the stock captivate launcher and it has some HTC like widgets in the paid version, I find it very functional ^_^
Ive tried several different launchers including launcher pro but i found that i like adw launcher the best. You can download a sense theme for it from the market. I previously had samset 1.5 & 1.8 installed which includes the clock widget. After i synced to app brain i was able to reinstall it after i flashed a different rom. This is pretty much my ui of choice. It has been running great, plus you can enable horizontal swipe in the app drawer via adw settings which i find to work more smoothly. Hope that might have helped some for the time being.

Thank You! I too have been looking for a version of sense for the Captivate. This does a good job of pulling off the over all look and feel!
Another vote for the paid version of Fancy Widget. Very customizable and can be made to look just like Sense.
Sense UI isn't just a skin or launcher like TouchWiz. It actually replaces a lot of stuff in the ROM and has its own framework. You can't just "add" it to a ROM. It IS the ROM. I don't think you'll have it running on Galaxy S phone anytime soon.

OK, I've searched for days to try and find a fast, stable, sense-ui (Theme-wise) ROM that works on the HTC Hero. I've found tons of ROMS for the G1, I've tried the CyangenMod 6 ROM, I've spent hours searching for a good ROM. CM6 is a bit faster, but occasionally it will hang. (A bit better than stock 2.1) I don't like that a lot of apps don't work (After downloading an app and installing it, you can't click open or find it in your apps list) and I don't like that the fact that you can't group your contacts or have the Sprint/HTC widgets work. (The only widgets I use are the clock and the email, messages, and voice mail widgets that show how many you received.
Please let me know if you use one like that you can recommend.

For a good sense UI rom I would go with Zen rom. You can find it here.
I've been using this rom NFX-Hero 2.2.1 by nfinitefx45. After playing with other roms and the cyanogen ones, i've come back to this one. I've been running this for a couple weeks and it's pretty smooth and stable. So give it a try. Also, nfinitefx45 is one dedicated developer, he actually visits the thread often and help with answering questions, solving problems/bugs!

+1 nfinite's roms are put together well and are fast yet also solid.
I'm using the cyanogen rom. CM6. It's actually running android 2.2 (froyo) instead of 2.1, and I think it has a better keyboard and runs very well. I use the "digital clock widget", and the weather and "news and weather" widget, I think both are available in the Market, but News and weather came with the rom. I miss the bookmarks and calendar widgets from Sense, but its not worth going back. As far as voicmail goes I'm using google voice to handle my it, and there are widgets for it too.

I use CM6 as well, and prefer it over any sense rom but the OP wanted sense so I thought I'd humor myself
The CM6 with CyanogenSense theme looks and feels like my stock Hero, but runs way faster and has a better battery life. Zen makes a great rom, bit imo the CM6 is the way to go.

I've decided to try making a theme using the tutorial thread number 667951. (I can't post links yet I don't think, so again I'll just use this work around.) That being said, I've decided to stick with NFX-HERO for my ROM since the only thing wrong with it is the boot loop issue which I'm going to try starting from scratch to fix it today. So, the tutorial says that a good starting point for a theme would be to get an existing compatible theme and modify that one. (Great idea in my opinion. I've done this in the past with other phones I had.) Does anyone have an idea of a theme that would be useful for me to start off with? I want to change a lot of things on the phone, so the more intricate the theme is, probably the better.
Also, on a side note, if I remember correctly this thread had 3 pages before the site went down. I'm not sure why it was truncated. If any mods know why, please let me know.

We lost about 2 days posts when the site crashed
i used a theme called blue echo to learn where most things go. and in his rom there is a great vending apk that has the market themed as well. then i took a dialer from one of godzen's and moved it all to compare to my stock 2.1 files and made it work with a rom i am currently running. im just now getting into looking at the apps like clock etc but that was a good start for me since there is alot covered there.
OK, let me ask you this. It'll clear up some things I need to know on compatibility. What makes a theme compatible with one ROM and not another? Likewise, what makes an app compatible with one ROM and not another? Is it the structure? If so, how? I'm a computer programmer, but even though android phones are quite similar to a Linux system on a PC, I'm still not sure if I understand the compatibility issues behind themes.
Also, just so I don't have to post again to ask this in case it's relevant, are Blue Echo and GodZen's dialer compatible with NFX? I downloaded them, but it never said anything about NFX. Is NFX similar to Sprint's 2.1 in the sense that it will run any themes I make for NFX?
well the Rom im using is mostly stock so the framework and htc.resource files are the same. for say CM6 (and i havent looked into it just a example) may have say the status bar grey and i want black. in the stock i would change the statusbar_bkg file in the framework.apk folder but in CM6 it may be in the same plae with a different name or the same name in a different place or just non existent all together. as for if they are compatible the only way to know is to try. the only way to know for sure is to open them compare and replace what you need in the correct order. also i use metamorph to apply themes. you can find it in the market. but the Vending.apk theme must be pushed with adb for some reason or it will crash the market.
matter of fact now that i think of it, the Rom im using is about to incorporate NFX. go here and you an see my post where i put what i transfereed over and they should work as i think NFX is mostly a stock (so to speak) Rom.

You are using a Hero, right? Not a G1? That would explain the boot loop issue you had with NFX.
NFX-HERO was listed in the Hero ROMs section. You sure it's only for G1? Would another phone's ROM actually even flash to a different phone properly? I mean it works, but with boot loops.
Yes they will but may it may not work. And I'm sure that Rom is for a hero and I would flash over and look for myself but I have been threw like 5 Rom's today and just got it back normal lol.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
OK, so today I had a chance to wipe and flash the NFX-HERO ROM again. Now the phone seems a bit more stable. I can boot it and it boots all the way up fine and I can click "Shutdown Phone" and have it shutdown without freezing and rebooting, but now right now I've spotted only one flaw. When I use the phone in disk drive mode, but then pull the USB out of the phone without switching it back to charge only, and it freezes and reboots on me. (This happened last time.) I've also noticed that the phone gets increasingly more unstable as time goes on, so I wouldn't doubt that it would do this even more later on.
Correction, no matter what I do, to remove the USB when I use it as a disk drive, the phone freezes and reboots.
Update again: I decided to use RegawMod instead. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661991) It's super fast, no bugs from what I can see, highly compatible, and it looks slick! I even used a mod to turn my dialer pink. lol I can see this being my ROM of choice for a long time. The only thing I didn't like was that it was lacking the Google Navigation tools, so I installed GoogleApps.apk (If you're looking for this file, just Google GoogleApps.apk) from another ROM and rebooted me phone (So it would show up) and then it worked just fine. I'm not sure why it isn't showing local listings for destinations first, but that may be just because it didn't catch the GPS location right off the bat. I did set my location settings to being shared.
There is a pink theme in 2.1 catalog if i remember right. If you like pink that might be a good start for you to move the files around to see how they are built.

Haha... I see how that can be misinterpreted.
Yeah, NFX is a Hero ROM, I was asking if you were trying to flash it on a G1, because if you were, it wouldn't work.
I like Regawmod 2.1. Fast with a nice dark theme. Based off of damage control. Just my two cents.

Ok, ladies and gentlemen, today I present to you a compilation of applications which, when combined, present a near complete replication of Sense UI, but on Cyanogenmod 7!
Now, i'm aware that alot of people go to CM7 for the stock vanilla Google experience, I do as well! But every once in a while i like to play with the sense look for just a bit, and this satisfies that craving for me.
Its not perfect, but I'll be damned if it isn't close. So without further wait, here is is!
Essentially, this compilation contains 3 apks
-A themed launcher pro with the rosie re-configured so its 3 buttons like sense
-A theme application for the cm7 theme engine
-Fancy widget 1.3 i.e. the one that looks like the sense one.
Downloads
View attachment FancyWidget(Sense).apk
View attachment LauncherPro_SenseUI_1.1.apk
View attachment NTSense.apk
Instructions
1. Put the 3 apks on you phone's sdcard (preferably in a place you can find them.)
2. Using any file manager, install the three apks (note: if you already are using launcherpro, you have to uninstall it to use this one)
3. Launch the theme manager in cm7 and select NTSense.
4. Launch the newly installed sense launcherpro and configure
5. If you wish, just long press and place the fancy widget clock on your desktop.
6. Reboot for Ntsense to finish the theme completely and enjoy!
Notes
-There is no theme for the lockscreen, so you can go with stock, lense, or widgetlocker if you have it.
-The right-most rosie button is browser and that isn't changeable. I can't do anything about it.
-The launcherpro version of this specific mod is 0.8.2, the guy who made it did this one a while ago and hasn't updated it to my knowledge. If thats a problem, I'm sorry.
-The NTSense theme will theme your stock gingerbread keyboard. Idk why but thats just how it is.
-This should work with any phone running cm7 and isn't evo exclusive.
-This Launcherpro isn't unlocked, you have to unlock it with your code, the new market unlocker doesn't work i don't think.
This is just me trying to assist anyone who, like me, enjoys hopping over to sense but doesn't like nand backup all the time. If you don't like it, thats fine, just please understand why I did it.
If you enjoy this, and want to donate, do so to nhnt11, the guy who made that website, or buy fancy widget pro! I just brought them in one easy to find spot but if you wanna thank me, go ahead!
Credits go to

I'm not sure I am asking this correctly. but I am on tweakstock 2.0 with the BlackNBlue theme (by Stranula). I was using CoreDroid (by ztkryan) and liked it but there are few things about BlackNBlue that I like prefer. However, I love the vertical scrolling 3D looking app launcher in CoreDroid (pic). Is there a way to keep BlackNBlue but use the app launcher screen from CoreDroid? If so, how do I do that. (also, I am not sure launcher is the correct term but didn't know what to call it). Thanks.
EDIT: FYI, This question has been answered.
You simply install it and when you hit the home button, you'll get a choice of launchers. Pick the one you want (and set to default if you desire). However, if I'm not mistaken, CoreDroid uses EclipseLauncher2, which is only available in Eclipse or that theme. If you save the .apk off, you may be able to install it and use it, but I won't swear to that. You might want to try Go Launcher EX from the Play Store. You can customize it to look and act pretty much exactly like EclipseLauncher.
It was a bit of a surprise to me, but the CoreDroid launcher looked the same when I was on Eclipse 2.0 as it did when I tried the Coredroid for tweaked over the weekend. I just wasn't sure that the launcher had it's own .apk file. Does anybody know the name of the launcher in CoreDroid for Tweaked? or where I look to find it if I go back to CoreDroid temporarily.

This does work shrike. Just copy EclipseLauncher2.apk, put it on your SD card and install via RootExplorer. I used the one in ROM Toolbox Pro. It's a pretty dang good launcher if you ask me.

It's the EclipseLauncher2 from Eclipse 2.0 and from the CoreDroid theme in Tweaked 2.0.

I wasn't sure either. I just thought I'd try it out and it worked. I did however have an interesting expericence when I installed the CoreDroid theme over the blacknblue theme with EclipseLauncher2 running on the blacknblue theme. When my phone rebooted my status bar was gone and I had no homescreen because the EclipseLauncher kept on force closing relentlessly. I had to install Tweaked over the top and start over. I'm guessing that this was because the CoreDroid theme already uses EclipseLauncher2 and the old one that I had running on the blacknblue theme became corrupt when I installed CoreDroid. Y'all might not ever experience this, but just in case, this is a heads up!

Thanks to all. I installed using CWM. Seems to work fine. I didn't realize it would take over my Home screen as well so I back to the 3 screens when I prefer just one but its kind of neat having both of them as an option.
