[Q] a good weather/clock app - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

I used to have stock 2.1 but then rooted+ flashed DD2.8. I have been thrilled with it so far - very fast!! The only thing I miss is HTC sense weather app. Does it need Rosie/Sense to work? Is there any good replacement for it for DD2.8?
thanks

I second this. I went from leedroid plus add-on, to full rcmix. Found leedroid to be better on battery life and just a tad more stable, nothing I can really put my finger on. So I went back to leedroid plus addons yesterday. It's fantastic.

just installed leedroid, so far so good, feels very zippy, even with the sense 3.0 but there was no valid link for it without the new launcher, can someone help me find the sense 3.0 without rosie download. also some of the calls are cutting out once in a while, do i need to reflash the m2 radio, it says i have it but last time i had rxc3d rom i flashed the m2 and it doubled my battery life and gave me excellent service, wondering if reflashing it might do the same for me the battery went from 30-18 in about an hour

Does it lag? Freeze? Or anything like that or is it smooth enough to use daily? Right now I have an Evo and will be switching to an Infuse later next week (probably) thats why Im so concerned but thanx to all for ur quick replies

Hey I played with a friends Infuse and installed launcher pro + and the sense skin and it looks great, but can someone tell me how to get the dock (Rosie) at the bottom to look like the sense one instead of the 5 icons?
-Pü3rTøRr0
its def in the settings, jus play around with it, should take like 30 secs... as far as lag, in my experience, none watsoever. imo lp sense is smoother than sense on that evo, but those are from my experiences. probably cuz our phones are faster than the evo...

LauncherPro Plus has similar widgets.
Nothing wrong with liking Sense. Lol.

Launcher pro plus or go launcher both have widgets, although I recommend jorte calendar.
I prefer launcher pro plus but don't use many of the widgets, they are skinnable though and look pretty cool.

I find myself in a similar dilemma. I love the look of Sense, but could careless about widgets as they are battery drainers and RAM consumers. I love ARHD with nosense. But also am in love with CM7 feel and options, but not so much on the Froyo look. I am tiring quickly on switching back and forth and have to make a decision soon....... Grrarrgh

MT4GS HTC Sense 2.1 ROM + 3.0 features (i.e Lockscreen, weather videos, etc.)

Can I ask for an HTC Sense 2.1 rom? I really find the Sense 3.0 rosie a hassle and the carousel, though pretty cool, gets annoying when I need to quickly scroll to a certain homescreen. Also I prefer the smooth basic screen transitions of Sense 2.1 as opposed to the 3D effect transition on Sense 3.0 roms.
Actually, IMO, the best rom would be an HTC Sense 2.1 with Sense 3.0 features (lockscreen mainly) fusion. Can anyone make it happen? (aka Undeadk9)
FOR A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT I'M SAYING, here's a Tmobile G2/HTC Desire Z running an HTC 2.1 base+3.0 rom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ-kNW-nGFA
Ummm no. Sense 3.0 is so much better. No dev would do that. It's not something a large group of people would use.

You're right but I just want to make sure: Is it possible to downgrade our MT4GS's Sense 3.0 to Sense 2.1? If so, how? (I'd like to design a custom rom myself )
You would need to find a phone compatible with our device. I'm thinking the MT4G or Desire HD and port it to Doubleshot.

From my developmental tests from Sense 2.1- Sense 3.0 on the HTC HD2 and Desire HD,
I realized that it's possible to port the Sense 3.0 rosie to a Sense 2.1 rom. I'm wondering if it's possible to port the Sense 2.1 rosie to our MT4GS's Sense 3.0?
Sense 2.1 sucks compared to 3.0 use undead sensless rom u wont be dissapointent

I could probably do that, but I only make ROMS I intend on using, I'm pretty busy with school and work, but If I have a free weekend I might give it a try. However I don't think it would be worth it, a lot of features would be cut, since I wouldn't spend time optimizing it for the MT4GS, just the basic 2.1 ROM.

Thanks dude, I appreciate it alot man. And I know what you mean about busy. 5 AP classes + a job leaves very little free time, let alone the fact that you have other stuff to do. But if you could get the basic Sense 2.1 rosie and perhaps provide me tips on how to implement the widgets (especially the clock widget, it's basically the trademark of Sense haha), that would be all I'd need.
Also, couldn't you literally just replace the Rosie from a MyTouch4g/DesireHD sense 2.1 rom, as well as the other htc widgets as Seo did to bring a Sense 3.0 port to Sense 2.1 roms?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062962
The reason I want this is simply because I hate the carousel of Sense 3.0 (it still lags occasionally), but love the widgets.
I simply don't like the features of LPP or ADW because, in those launchers I can't use Sense widgets...

You're right I haven't tried it yet. I'll give it a shot sometime later. Too lazy to s-off and sort it out. I just hate the 3d flip animation, I like the smooth screen transitions that were on the older Sense rosies.
I'm still contemplating whether I want this phone or return and exchange for a Sensation. Of course either way, it's Sense 3.0 carousel.

KEEP IT. The Sensation is a piece of crap, I worked for T-Mobile and we have returns on them more than anything. They overheat, the touchscreen is highly unresponsive, and the screens look mediocre... Even after installing custom ROMs they still have issues.

Yea, but there's so many devs for the Sensation, I wish our MT4GS had more...
Oh and btw, those devs just ported over the HTC Amaze 4G's (aka MT4GS's) camera to their Sensations. WOOW is all I can say.
Plus, with the second coming of smartphones in the HTC Amaze and SGSII, there'll be even less reason for future devs to work on this phone.
Gotta admit though that I like the hardware keyboard as an additional option for typing. It may be crappy compared to the G2, but I've never used a slider-phone before.
And, I hate the designs of the Amaze and GSII, they're even more curvy than the MT4GS and Sensation, lol.
Sorry...to get back on topic, Undeadk9, would it be much simpler to port the Sense 2.1 rosie over onto a Sense 3.0 rom? Rather than modding an entire rom? And is it as easy as I think it is?

I agree. Keep the phone. Plus this cpu is meant to clock at 1.5ghz. The sensations is right where its suppose to be. Plus this device has a way better processor. And the keyboard is a huge plus.

In another phone, you can just trick Rosie into thinking it's running on a Sense 2.1 device and it will run in 2.1 mode. However, I don't think it's possible with the native MT4GS Rosie since it's specifically compiled for us/TMO. I could be wrong though, worth decompiling it and taking a look at it.
I wouldn't run Sense 2.1 though. That's boring.
Or maybe you could exchange it for a desire hd or mytouch 4g since you're looking for older software. there's not going to be a whole lot of demand for older software on a newer device unfortunately.

That's exactly what I don't want, as you can see the MT4GS is SUPERIOR to those devices. But I really prefer the simplicity of the old sense, and combined with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, it would be 1000000x faster + no lag. Why would I want to go back to the "Stone Age" so to speak?
Really and truly it's the carousel that bothers me, if I didn't have to deal with the carousel on Sense 3, it would be just fine.
And let's just put it this way: Sense 2.1 is exactly what Sense 3.0 is WITHOUT the carousel. So for those of you who don't prefer the carousel, this is what you want. Of course there's the lockscreen, but I'm talking purely on the basis of the rosies.
Sorry for the double post, my previous one was loaded.
I'll just say that Ima try and put one together myself.
I also posted a video on what I mean by Sense 2.1+3.0. (Check first post)
I also posted a poll to gather the opinion of users in this forum.
If there are too many No's, then I will stop this thread from further discussion.
So you just want the sense 2.1 interface but with sense 3.0 basically. Why don't you try a new launcher?

[Q] Which Launcher for ICS (namely IceColdSandwich)

I appreciate that this is a question that is probably down to personal preference. But, being mostly a Sense man myself, my man exposure to ASOP ROMs has only been on GB (Reaper) so I've primarily only played with the FTL Launcher that comes bundled with that ROM.
Having read the latest changelog from IceCreamSandwich this morning and having a couple of free hours this weekend (Shhh....don't tell the wife I just said that) I thought that I'd give it a go. Now I'm confused, as straight out of the box I get a two launcher choice from Nova and Trebuchet? Please can I have people opinions on which is the best choice, or should I just stick with FTL (Faster than Light)....(Pro) that I'm used to from GB?
I've attempted to put a Poll along with this thread, but would be keen on people's opinions and comments also.....pros/cons etc and personal experiences...
Thanks as always in advance.
My personal opinion (for what little it's worth) is to stick with FTL. I have also bought the pro version and am even more impressed with what Lowveld has managed to build in to V3.
I am interested in ICS only in as much as it can give me a stable, faster phone system - but I have no interest at all in changing the way my phone actually looks (other than possibly getting the Sense v4 weather widget integrated properly).
I am also really looking forward to a stable base for ICS as I've got no doubt that Lowveld will build a full version of Reaper ICS - which will blow anything else clean out of the water.
Yeah I had a hard time deciding on ICS.
I decided to stick with Trebuchet though, because it was simpler and easier to use. Also this is the official launcher that CM9 are going to be using, so I wanted to get a good taste of it.
Nova launcher is nice, it has loads and loads of features.
But I Decided to go with trebuchet and removed nova via titanium backup .
Just play with each one for 10 minutes and see which suits you best!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
If you want a pure ics launcher with many features, try nova or apex (I personally prefer nova, but there isn't a big difference between them as far as I can see).
If all is about speed, stick with ftl (but must confess that I also noticed no lags with nova while using it).
Gesendet von meinem Desire S mit Tapatalk 2
I don't see much difference between the launchers, so i just use trebuchet, because it's the simplest
Also, I found some good replacements to HTC Sense widgets for AOSP ROMs, the 4x2 clock from sense 4 has been 'ported' to all ROMs, so that's clearly the best. APW has people and messaging widgets but they look horrible, thankfully, you can add skins. Use the Modern ICS Skin, looks beautiful. Use haxsync for contact pictures. For the 4x4 weather widget, use weatherlove. All these are on the market, I'll post links when i get home.

All opinions are welcome....just some should be ignored
If by Sense 4.0 weather widget you mean clock/weather widget then check out these apps. There is the 4x1 and 4x2 (sense 3.5 and 4.0) widgets which are superb and if I was completely honest the only reason why I'm now even trying ICS!!!!!
EDIT: Hadn't realised that I just said the same as Shrome99 (great minds)....and great find btw!
My personal preference goes to GO Launcher. I used ADW Launcher (paid) before, I have tried others as well (Nova, Apex, Trebunchet) but GO Launcher seemed to be the one packing the most functions. Also I had no issues or lag with it
I personally prefer Apex Launcher. I have also tried Nova and Trebuchet. With Nova Laucher there are a lot of features which I don't need. So that makes the launcher too complex for my use. The trebuchet launcher on the other hand is way simpler and you get a better overview. On the downside I was missing some features here (e.g. hide apps/widgets from drawer; might have overlooked it or it has been added in the meantime). Therefore Apex is best choice for me as in term of simplicity and useful features. Also this launcher is very smooth for me, smoother than Nova (when testing in ICS 6.0) IMO.
Trebuchet is the best for me. I found it was the quickest of the three (nova and apex) and that's all I want from a launcher
Also i dont like using gingerbread launchers on ICS. Ruins the look for me
Sent from my Desire S
Choice is big, but in my opinion FTL and APEX launchers are the best. Why? Because they are the fastest and smoothest for my device. In addition both have features that I need.

Yeah, I kinda agree with you. On GB, I use ADW EX pro, but on ICS it doesn't suit it
The scrolling horizontally on ICS is much better. Putting a launcher like ADW is kind of a backward step on ICS
Maybe soon, lowveld might base FTL on the stock launcher from ICS?

Just tried Apex Launcher, and immediately fell in love. It is much more customizations and has more Settings than all other ICS launchers combined. You can set custom app drawer transparency, disable haptic feedback when pressing the app drawer button (was looking for this ever since i used ICS), there's a scrolling dock, gestures and HTC Sense like preview screens. This is just a small list, there's a lot more that i didn't post (it would make a loooong list ). The best thing is, you can backup these settings to your SD Card so you don't have to do this all over again when you flash a new ROM.

brilliant, after checking on the polls results, I also recently tried out apex on AKOP blindICE and had come to exactly the same conclusion, although hadn't spied the backup function, now that without a doubt is the deal beaker!
Also love the fact that you have five icons across the screen and resize widgets, still loving the sense 3.5 4x1 clock
Why htc haven't added a backup feature to Rosie, that works across versions I've no idea, it wouldn't be too complex and it would save us so much time. Titanium backup is only so useful

@Ben_pyett you can backup the Scenes via titanium backup, so if you want to backup your home screen layout, just make a new scene, edit it the way you want and back it up. It won't work across sense versions though, a Sense 4 scene will only work on sense 4, not 3.x
