What is your favorite "HOME"? - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

I know it's been asked for some specific roms, but it's really interesting wat ppl like more on any ROM..

Helix, period.
I don't like sense though, so sense lovers are going to disagree.

I'm confused about the difference between:
Stock plain android
AOSP look plain android
Unless you are talking about one black one white. But then you are getting in to themes and out of Home options.

I like sense, I wish they just go ahead and open source it, then we could really do some interesting things for it. Hell they could at least relase a widget dev kit, or specs on their widget api.

i like sense and now that it has working live wallpapers its goin to be the best

I like sense now that it has working live wallpapers. It is going to be the best because all these new builds will have working live wallpaper in Helix and we can delete sense all together!

ok.. maybe i was wrong about that one.. I thought AOSP look wasnt a theme... but whatever i guess.. I do like AOSP look though, and I like Helix and Launcher, but I started to hate Sense look for some reason

HTC Widgets

Hi,
My Nexus one arrived today (UK).
My mate has a Hero, and on his hero he has a set of widgets from HTC, e.g sense clock etc.. Just wondering if you can get them for the nexus one, ive seen a few imitations, but I would really like the real thing!
Real things require the Rosie framework, which is HTC specific. That's why the imitations exist.
Ok thanks for that, looks like its imitations for me then

Does that mean that we won't get sense on the n1 until htc releases sense on a compatible piece of hardware like the bravo? Or do we just need someone to rip it out of the hero?
We probably won't get sense until an Android 2.1 compatible version comes out. I suppose it might technically be possible to use the current 1.6 Sense (I don't know, I'm not a developer, so don't quote me on that) but why would you wanna go from 2.1 back to 1.6?
It won't be long, though. Bravo supposedly releases in March, and Hero 2.1 update is supposed to be approx. the same time.

There's a 2.1 based Hero rom floating around, and the Espresso rom, so it's potentially possible, but neither of them is especially good. Once the Bravo comes out, the similar hardware should make for a quick (and almost perfect) SenseUI port I'd think. Look at the 32A Magic/Hero - same hardware, eventually got an official SenseUI, and it works very well.
That said, unless Espresso/Sense2 added a lot of new features, I'm not entirely sure of the appeal beyond just Rosie. 2.0/2.1 added most of the best features of Sense to stock Android.
i have all the settings widgets if you want.

Do they work OK on Nexus? I'd be interested in those. I don't like the Power bar because it takes up 4 spaces - really only want to toggle Wifi and Internet - Plus the individual ones can be put on different screens Are they .apk ?

Fancy widget was malicious!

After updating fancy widget for the last time my launchers began to become unstable and as of now sense UI forecloses every time I attempt to open it.

Check what else you put in there besides fancy widget, version 1. 30 is working great for me on spica i5700 running 2.1 with launcher pro and judging by comments no one so far is experiencing what you are reporting.

What's wrong with Sense?
Isnt Fancy widget similair (about the same) compared with HTC's Sense clock widget? Makes me think why you would like to have Fancy widget while you have Sense
LauncherPro + Fancy Widget works like a charm on my Nexus

Yeah, doesn't make sense at all Seriously, yeah, I'd just use the HTC Clock widget.
I still like the whatever-the-app-is when you touch the weather in the Sense Clock widget.. World weather, time, stopwatch, etc all in one place. Played with it in XDAndroid a bit, but using a stock Nexus One and have separate apps for such things now.
You do realise the HTC Clock Widget can only be used on Sense UI, right?

Im sure its more likely a combination of your apps/kernel/rom/recovery image not playing nicely together. you need to locate the issue rather than insulting a dev that tries to provide ppls with no sense, the ability to experience one of its most popular, well-known widgets...im not surprised you got flamed for this one.

[Request] Sense UI app zooming animation

Can someone possibly hack in a zooming animation for when applications are opened and closed into the Rosie launcher? This would be great because it feels very boring having everything just pop up immediately and would definitely spice it up!
It would be a lot easier for you to just not use sense. App zooming is in stock android, and you can customize launcher pro or adw launcher to very accurately mimic sense.
Not accurately. I love how Sense integrates social networks in one place. And all the widgets. These CANNOT be replaced by anything in stock.
Actually, the dev of launcher pro is working on making all of the sense widgets for his launcher, some are available right now, others are on the way. Launcherpro.com the ones available now work fantastically and he's going to be doing friendstream as well. I prefer this to sense, the screen previews are vastly superior than senses also.
The way it integrates social networking...
What does sense integrate that stock doesn't?

Stock has everything you really need. Unless you're looking for specifically the friendstream (which I personally don't like because its too much for me to go through facebook and twitter at once), which btw can be on stock sort of by using the facebook application of .. something I don't remember, but it is a ported applicaiton from an LG phone i thinkso.
But if you want sense, please flash a sense rom. There are some very very good ones out now, like evilD's with 720p recording. check into it.
No, like the People application. It has EVERYTHING in it about your contacts. Text messages, emails, facebook, twitter, events, gallery... everything in one place.
And prettier UI.
As stated just use sense, especially SINCE you refuse to try my suggestion which would most likely suit best. Launcherpro can emulate sense nicely, including what you've listed

Read what the guys above me wrote.
Stop being stubborn with your LauncherPro. Please. I have used and tried it, it doesn't satisfy my needs. This topic is about hacking in a zooming animation, not telling me what I should use instead.
I want to see it have a People application that combines everything I wrote earlier with all the widgets and integration, nice UI, friendstream, and events.

Get back on topic please, xXJay_RXx. I didn't start this thread to argue, but ask for a feature request.
I saw a stock HTC Hero yesterday and it had this zooming feature. It looks amazing...
Has anyone figured out how to implement it ? (No Comments about Launcher Pro please...)
Just reading along different threads couldnt you just take out the anim folder from the rosie that has the zoom and add it to where you want it? But i believe you would have to rename some of those coming from the rosie anim my best bet
It would be just like how theres a lot of transition effects now, because people just replace that folder with otheres

For the first time with ICS I think I like Rosie more than stock launcher...

After using the stock ICS launcher for a couple of hours to try it out, I have to say I actually think I like the new ICS Rosie launcher better than the stock Android launcher. Adding the new 5 icon doc bar is much improved. And the ICS google nav bar on every home screen just annoys me.

Just fyi. You can disable it in the stock ICS launcher.
You Mad brah?
AOSP > Sense. By a mile, sense looks well out dated with all its gloss. It's all about the minimal and matte effect.
I was really excited when I saw ICS roms. Now that I tried them I 'm thinking to go back to Ginger Elegance.
ICS with Sense 3.5 looks exactly like GB. Nothing so special about the long awaited ICS. Nothing obvious at least.
I'm gona try Ultimite 1.0 as soon as it's online to get a real creamy taste and probably revert back to Elegance.
Of course I want to thank all chefs for their excelent work.

Yeah, this is true. Sense looks so old and ugly now. ICS is all minimal, and Roboto...such a good font!
when i first rooted my Desire with CM5 (i thin it was 5), within a few days all i wanted was sense back...since then i've always chosen sense roms and i'm pretty sure i'll continue to...so i de facto agree with you

Think CM6 was first one for desire.
the stock launcher for ICS is annoying - it condenses all the information too much. For example, on the Sensation, adding a 4x3 Plume or APW widget gives you the same amount of space as a 4x2 widget on Rosie or any other launcher. Plus, while you can disable the search bar in the ICS launcher, there's still an unusable 4x1 blank space there. Plus, the side margins on the screen are far too wide.
I can understand why they're there on a large, high-resolution screen like that of the Galaxy Nexus, but it makes no sense on a smaller, lower-resolution screen.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the CM team comes up with for Trebuchet, but in its current state, it's still wasteful with space

[REQUEST] ICS Stock appearance

Hello everybody,
after some searching on this part of the forum I could not answer to my questions so I post it here, sorry if it's already answered somewhere, couldn't find it
The question is, I have an HTC Sensation running ARHD 6.5.4, It goes smooth but I want my icons on the notifications bar and so on to look like in my Galaxy Nexus, I love that blue instead of this ugly white color I have on the Sensation
Any simple way? I mean, found that pretty online-kitchen but those are mostly self-made icons, not the ones that come with pure android :S
If posible something that doesn't fore me to Wipe, but if imposible everything is wellcome!
Thanks for all
**EDIT** Forgot to say I'm using ADW Launcher EX with ICS theme on it (I can't live without fast desktop switching and no animation on ADW :S)

[ICS][SKIN&MOD] Ice Cream Sense [25-3-2012][ver:5.3]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470497
Here is a really popular theme. While installing, it'll give you the option to install Pure Android apps. So while its practically like having a pure android experience, and despite replacing some sense apps with the ICS ones, it's still Sense. So the phone functions exactly the same.
A lot of AOSP themes are in this section, I am using this one.
Now my sensation looks like a Nexus! Finally thank you all guys
Thanks!
