[Q] How to change HTC Sense dock

Hey guys,
I was wondering if there is any way for me to change my HTC Sense dock to something like the launcherpro dock. The HTC widgets are what's keeping me from just switching to launcherpro. I know you can download alternatives, but i just like the HTC ones the best. I'm have a Desire Z, running 2.2, rooted.
Thanks,

[Q] Can someone please try this on their Sensation

can anyone try to install and run the "gingerbread launcher" from the market and give us the result?
thanks

It's not bad,its not as fast as adw ex,but it doesn't lag like launcherpro.

Works fine on mine.. sensation wwe asia rom here.. 1.28.707.2 .. when u stopped sense and use 3rd party launcher, free rams r above 2xx compared to 1xx on sense launcher... It will drop bacl but its snappier.. same feeling as android revolution hd no sense version on dhd but much snappier

It looks great!!! At first
Then i opened the app drawer and the app cube was move to the left and apps were being cut off.
Since this screen is qHD there are obvious graphical issues with the launcher.

Yes same issue is happening with me. Also when the app drawer is open the bottom row is not responsive.

[Q] Is there a way to remove sence ui 3 on the htc sensation?

i personally want to use the original google android ui. so it use less ram and faster.

No, you're stuck with Sense 3.0 until custom ROMs are possible.

download "launcher pro" homescreen replacement till custom roms come out

Is there a way to get like a "sense" widget for the time and weather??
I like the weather and clouds going across the screen, but need the Launcher Pro for the buttons at the bottom..

This is funny... I thought I was the only one who didn't like it. I really thought I was going to, but I find it just gets in the way.
I switched to LauncherPro (which I'm really happy with) and I stopped all the HTC related syncing stuff in the accounts setup. I'm not sure how much was saved, but it didn't seem to help much RAM and battery wise.
FWIW my wife hasn't had any complaints about it, and we both came from stock Android phones.
I can't wait to root this thing...

Did Launcher Pro not lag for you guys? I checked out the demo in the store and Launcher Pro chugged like none other. Who knows what they did to that demo before I picked it up though.

I really like LP. I saw a youtube video of the Sens. running it....looked great to me.

I'm running lpp on my sensation. It's a lot smoother than sense. No lag whatsoever.

I am also running Launcher Pro and it runs great. No lag. On a side note, is it worth the $3.50 to get the 'Plus' version of Launcher Pro?

I installed Zeam to see if it would be slow. It ran fine. I actually noticed that some aspects of Sense shutdown when you use another launcher.

Try ADW Ex just for the mere fact that is supports hardware acceleration unlike LPP and the other homescreen replacements.

yea and stock with stupid widgets cause cant use sense widgets(again) when using lpp or adw or any other launcher

Launcher Pro + Beutiful Widgets on the Sensation - FAST!

I have had my Sensation for about a week now. Been playing with both Launcher Pro and the stock sense. Stock sense seems REALLY laggy and kinda buggy. I have been using Launcher Pro for about a year and a half or so and when I loaded it on here and customized it makes the Sensation come alive! If anyone out there hates the lag try Launcher Pro until HTC comes up with an update to fix this.
One downfall is you do lose all of the HTC widgets. The phone still functions the same. And your notification bar and everything else is still there. Just the widgets won't show up when using it. There are widget apps out there like Beautiful Widgets or others that are free.
Just wanted to post this on here. A lot of people talking about lag. This is a great fix for it and speeds up your Sensation to what it should be!
Not trying to pimp Launcher Pro. Just tryin to give suggestions.
Cheers!

Yup, I myself am using adw ex & the phone is now flying. Do miss the sense widgets though. Little bit of give & take I suppose.

I am using the EXACT setup lol. I always use launcher pro with beautiful widgets. Best combo for me.

I am also using launcher pro. I did get the plus version with the extra widgets. I am somewhat disappointed in them and not sure it was worth the price. However, LP runs great, better than Sense, and I use it along with fancy widgets.

It's fast for sure. I also use 5 row homescreen grid to fit more icons and widgets to certain screens. Plus version of Launcher Pro is definitely worth the money.

Me too
Ive done the same, ditched sense a few hours after unboxing, Launcher Pro Plus, Beautiful Widgets and Widgetsoid. Fewer FCs and much faster.

Doesn't sense still run in the background even if you use an alternative launcher?

+1 lpp working good for me with the combination of miui fancy widget.

Yes it does, there's no getting rid of it until we're rooted.

Home screens arr very smooth with launcher pro... But my app drawer.lags quite a bit. Same with adw

Anyone else use Folder Organizer?
I really don't like swiping. Much rather click. So I only use one home screen, with folders. Click, click, to access any app, shortcut or bookmark I want. Very fast, zero lag.
Folder Organizer has the advantage of allowing custom icons for the folders, so home page looks like a screen of apps, instead of a bunch or generic folder icons.
One disadvantage, can't link to a widget from inside a folder. But, 3rd party launchers have a similar issue, and I can still put widgets on other home screens if needed.

We have 2 sensations and both running BW and LPP. Our home screens are still not smooth in transitions and often laggy. This is on 2 tmobile sensations. My previous G2x was much faster and smoother.
Also I believe LPP is messing with my geolocation. Not sure how, but when I remove LPP I don't have geolocation issues(tells me I am in a different state).

I prefer Regina right now but I love messing with launchers

Idk what kind of setup you guys are running or maybe your definition of lag is different then mine, but I have no lag at all.

You have to keep it for a couple hours and it speeds up. I had the same issue and now its faaaast. I use adw ex. And I have the horizontal drawer.

i would love to use a launcher but I <3 widgets too much

Go launcher is the only one that works for me. Very smooth and snappy all the way around. Can't wait for s-off so we can unlock the full potential of this CPU.

I see... Idk if I can put if with lag for that long. haven't had a phone that lagged since my droid Eris. Honestly my droid 2 global was a little more snappy than the sensation. But that was oc'd of course.

Launcher pro is awesome but its still not as fast on the sensation as it is on my nexus one. It will prob be after root. Still, much better than sense.

Destop visualizer in sense
I have been an ADW launcher user for quite a while
on HD2 (2 of), Desire HD and now sensation.
But I have also been using Desktop Visualizer to add custom icons to empty sense pages - best of both worlds.
i also have ADW as a home page choice - have not set either as the default yet.
Only had sensation for 4 days.

[Q] Sense 4.0 roms.

Hay guys, just a very quick question about your sense 4.0 Roms...
I have a HTC One X so I can't test your roms, but I'm interested to know if any of the bugs that have been found with the one X have been fixed on your ports.
Do you live wallpapers freeze when you change homescreens? Also do you get screen corruption in the browser app? Do you have movie editor? And does it force close all the time?
I'm interested because some friends have sensations and I would like to know how buggy sense 4.0 is on your phones... Also what do you think is the best sense 4 Rom?
Thanks

Live Wallpapers seem fine, I'm using the Sense streak one.
Haven't had any screen corruption in the Browser.
Just tried Movie Editor briefly and it didn't force close.
I'm using Insert Coin.
