What are the chances of porting the new version of Sense in the Evo 3D to the Inspire 4G?
Its sense 2.0, which is the version we have on our Inspires already

No its not. It's a new sense 2.2 (2.1 is gingerbread with the settings in the notification bar and 2.0 is the one on the Desire Z/HD/Inspire) with the new spinning carousel and some new cool lockscreen.

Exactly
im not so sure, i think this will be exclusive to 3d phones , doesnt mean it wont be ported but i doubt we will see this on our inspire 4g stright from htc, im not too fond of the carrousel i think its just flashy and it adds nothing, now what i really is that new lockscreen
Btw will the gingerbread version we'll get have the settings tab in the notification bar? does the leaked desire hd rom has it?

I think it looks nice. I have absolutely no interest in updates from HTC, I'm talking about what the devs here can throw together. I've tried the Gingerbread Sense and don't mind the settings tab in the notification area, just can't see that much of an improvement over the 2.2 Sense. A bit more eye candy might swing me though .
So I've been seein the EVO 3D, and I really like its new sense ui. You can change the lockscreen with weather and when you slide through the screens there is a new carasel look and more. I am just wondering two things. 1. Is there any way to get that Sense ported over to our Inspire's? 2. If we can't, do you think that the Inspire will ever get that update?

This update is in fact coming to devices with Sense. It's going to the HTC Evo-3D first though. It's kind of to showcase it. Hit Google. There are articles everywhere for it.
As long as it isn't as intrusive as the current sense...

I actually prefer it to vanilla Android. I ran cm for a day and flashed design gears Rom back over it. I have great battery life so far, so it really doesn't bother me. I feel almost "privileged" to have it since I own an HTC device.
You really can't beat the dialer, messaging app and keyboard. I know there are skins to out on other keyboards but I can't get the same performance as I can the built in HTC keyboard.
Plus I'm a huge sucker for the clock....

I love sense as well, but mainly I was refering to it hogging ram and cpu. I am sure there are ways they can optimize it better.
After seeing your screen shot in the other thread I'm flashing a gb Rom back. Killer battery life governs.

So, is anyone else as confused about what to do here? I really want CM7 and an AOSP-like experience. But after using the Das Bamf 2.0 ROM, which only contains flashes of Sense 3.0, and seeing the Preview ROM as well, I am truly torn. The Sense that comes with the TB--to me--leaves alot to be desired. But 3.0? There is a HUGE upgrade! But there is just something about CM7 without the manufacturer bloat, the simple Dialer/Contacts/Notification bar. It's just clean.
I am not sure which one we will have working first as a daily driver (although some are already using both as daily's--I prefer to wait until they are somewhat more refined).
What are you guys going to do given the choice?
CM7?
3.0?
Wait for Unrooted Gingerbread?
I love BAMF GingerREMIX v2.0 Beta #6..It works great, and its stable. Great Battery Life.
Well waiting for unrooted gingerbread is silly. I feel that like the ASOP cm7 is a strong driver but its a bit too plain for me. Also gingerbread isn't that great by itself. I mean cosmetically speaking it isn't much of a change from froyo. I really do like the sense 3.0 aspects. They just add so much but that's just one guys oppion.

What's so great about Sense 3.0? The only major difference I saw was the lock screen icons. I just got widget locker from the market and that lets you fully customize your lock screen.
I'm torn as well but decided on using BAMF Stripped V1.7. I use ADW EX as my launcher for it and I love it! It gives me the feel of CM7 but it runs much smoother than CM7 ever has on my device. I love CM7/AOSP type stuff but with the BAMF Stripped version my phone runs great and still has some nice stylings to it as well. So basically if you like AOSP/Sense you can run the same ROM as I am and kind of have elements of both.

haha, yeah. If I cared about twitter that much I'd just add a twitter widget to my lock screen.
My lock screen currently has:
Pandora widget
Winamp widget
Sound toggle widget
phone, gmail, handcent icons
Clock widget
alarm widget
battery % widget
slide to the right to unlock
slide to the left to open camera
AND I can drag down the notifcation bar from the lock screen.
Beats the hell out of the Sense 3.0 lock screen. But forget that... what's so cool about Sense 3.0?
CM7/AOSP over Sense any day for me.
I'm getting better battery life on CM7 now than on any previous ROM as well.
I started with the OG Droid and ran CM most of the time and loved it. My wife had the Eris and whenever I picked up her phone I could not stand Sense so I ended up putting CM on that as well.
Now that I have had my Thunderbolt since launch day I'm loving Sense. I flashed CM and played with it for about 4 hours, set everything up the way I like it and then went back to Sense without even making a backup of CM.
CM just seems very plain to me now that I have been using Sense for 3 months.

Haha, yeah. And the twitter widget is not scrollable, and it's fugly.
Bottom line is, if you want pretty go with Sense. If you want better battery life, go CM7.
"What should I use?" is such a loaded question. Everyone that likes sense is going to tell you to use Sense. Everyone that likes CM7 is going to tell you to use CM7.
I love CM7. But up until recently I felt it was unusable. Mostly bc of battery life. On my phone I could literally watch the meter go down. But when I saw a couple of new releases I had to go back. Battery life pwns Sense now (which for me was also horrible -just less horrible).
I think the 3g/4g/wifi hand-off is still having trouble. But I am in a 3g ONLY area. No 4g to connect to and not 1 public wifi hotspot in my community of 2000 people. So that is no biggie for me.
Bottom line is Cm7 is 10000xinfinity better than Sense. But I love CM7.

So false. Everyone is getting varied battery life with CM7 and Bamf... I'm pretty sure I got battery with Sense.
I REALLY like CM7's speed. Navigating between home screens/texts/into the dialer and contacts is so fluid and smooth. I also really like that I can use ADW to make my **** look cooler.
I liked Sense a lot though too, and I'm torn. I thought the lock screen was awesome and had a lot of functionality. I like how my contacts pretty much sync with facebook instantly... I've been on CM7 for 4 days now and only about 1/4 of people's profile pictures have synced. Sense is pretty, and has a lot of pretty awesome apps (the clock app kicks the **** out of the aosp one).
I'm torn.

second this!
I was on Bamf 2.0.5 for about a week. I tried CM 7.1 r4 and had issues. I really liked the lockscreen "ring" on Sense 3.0. Especially how you could set 4 apps on the lock screen and drag them to the ring.
However I tried CM 7.1 R6 and I am sold. It is fast, bloat free and my battery life is the best I have ever had on this 4G phone.
3G to 4G can still be a little squirrelly sometimes, but the AOSP ROM is quick and bloatfree.
Can anyone talk about the camera app in CM7 vs Sense 3.0? I heard that stock AOSP camera app has a lot of problems?
I took the liberty of showing you guys what gingerbread looks like- on video. New features include Android 2.3.4 (but no video chat on G-Talk?), new T-Mo bloatware, quick settings, etc. check it out!

Thanks for the vid. I could be wrong, but isn't this the first Sense ROM to have Android 2.3.4? Every other version of Sense I've seen has had 2.3.3. Cool!
Thanks I can't wait til this update gets to my phone

First, thanks guys! I'm glad you guys appreciate the video, and for the record this is the ROM that was leaked on Monday, but it's the same as the one T-Mo is rolling out
and my screen works fine, it's just harder to use when your making a video the update didn't do anything screen wise

My screen is very responsive running on Virtuous Unity. I noticed that too on the video. I'd hope an update wouldn't make your screen unresponsive. He may not have been touching right those few times. Also, some apps get like that from time to time where they get a little unresponsive
so basically nothing changed like i dont really see a difference looks wise i mean i would rather flash and all so i can get nice themes and all

I noticed that they changed the camera as well, it now has more effects. The calculator has been tweaked as well. And this may be just me, but the battery life seems better. I'm still in green and usually by now I'm in yellow.
Has there been any issues from the OTA update, other than not being able to root? Has the suspend issue been fixed?
I love the fact it has the "4G" instead of "H"

The HTC Ville has been caught on video ahead of its expected MWC 2012 debut, showing off both its slimline form-factor as well as a glimpse of HTC Sense 4.0. According to the Android 4.0 smartphone’s hardware info page, it runs a 1.5GHz dualcore processor with 1GB of RAM and a 4.3-inch qHD touchscreen. There’s also WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and an 8-megapixel main camera.

I'm wondering if they will release an official ICS and Sense 4.0 for Desire S.

I hope so or let's say, I wish. And if they do, I'm curious if the 50 gigs of Dropbox space will be available for us.
Am i the only one who thinks this is bad? I like the animations, and the new filp clock, horizontal app drawer is nice too. But i HATE the grey colour scheme. It's in the 3.5 app drawer, i always switch to transparent app drawer. Now, it's on the lockscreen shortcuts, dock, notification panel, menus in short everywhere !! The settings menu has an ugly tint of white. The bottom part of the lockscreen is gone (the arc where the ring was). I hope it's an early build and they change stuff........
PS - Comparing this to Sense 3.6 in the Sensation thread, i think Sense 3.6 is better.

I must say i agree with you shrome...
It doesn't look like too much of an improvement. I like stock ICS better that the Sense 4.0 in the leaked video. And overall, i still think Sense 3.5 is the best looking UI, followed closely by stock ICS.
Isn't the grey color because of the camera with which the leak was recorded?

yeah i agree with this too,the grey looks very bad but i like every thing else except maybe the bottom bar...but i remember that when sense 3.5 i had the same bad feeling because of the crappy leaked screenshots...lets hope sense 4.0 looks better on the device
one thing i didnt understand is inclusion of capacitive buttons,why did HTC include this on a device launching with ICS? if they didnt include the buttons they could have used that screen space for apps & browsing..
Do you think that the HTC Sensation XE ICS ROM would make a better port for things like getting the camera working properly in roms such as Quattro?
go to phandroid for an article about this (I'm still technically a new member despite reading xda for years now lol, need to do more posts to get full privileges)
"Early this year" is a bit rough, not sure whether HTC will release it in Q1 but would be good to have a few HTC ICS ROMs for devs to pull things from to get all features working
Id be happy to get 3.6 on my DS already lol, will keep me busy till v4
Any plans to port it over to DS from Sensation?

Nope. That's why Endymion and other ROMs run really well with no major inconsistent size issues.
Yeah, those ports were based on the original Sensation. Also, there was only 1 port for us, Virtuous. It required a lot of time to resize, and it wasn't as perfectly done as having it in ready format, straight from htc. remember there were so many bugs? Inconsistent widget sizes etc. There's no more point wasting effort trying to perfect the qHD port. might aswell wait for the XL ICS.
