So I am a little new to the Android hacking scene, but I have most of what I need to know figured out.
My friend has an Inspire, and I loved the HTC Sense and the layout that it had, so I bought myself an Incredible. It was almost the same, but I really wanted mine to be as close to hers as possible. So I've been looking for ROMs that have the new sense version, and I've found a few that seem to work pretty well, like the ported version of the Desire (I believe it is). I also tried on of the Incredible S that was ported over, however that didn't work that well. The question I have is, are there any fully working ones? Ones with minimal bugs, and ones where the camera works?
I also have used the Warm Z rom which has the updated sense, however I am not a fan of the theme/skin that is has. Is there a way to change that? I do like that ROM, but I love the original sense layout.
Thanks for anybody who can help.
O.K., so i know that not that many people would want sense on their phones, but some poeple out there would, especially if its sense 3.0, poeple say that its not that possible , but someone on the forums did, but is an older version of sense ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827769 ) but i think that it would become very popular in the forums, and c'mon, why do htc phones get all of the good roms?! anyways hope someone can port sense 3.0 for the captivate community.
Imo, it's outdated.
3.0 is quite a bit different from 1.0 and 2.0 builds. HTC isn't even going to allow their current phones upgrade to it(that includes Incredible 2 and Thunderbolt). I imagine a 3.0 theme wouldn't be difficult, but a 3.0 ROM might be more trouble than it's worth, considering that Sense is pretty lag-tastic as it is.
One of the biggest issues is that HTC uses alot of closed source drivers and stuff for sense. As for why they get all the good Roms, well HTC is more user freindly then say Samsung or Motorola.
Title explains it all really, I'm wondering if its even possible to port sense 2.1 to the sensation.
I like sense 3 and all but its just not stable, I would prefer to have sense 2....I miss my desire hd became of it.
But obviously this phone has many hardware advancements so I wanted to see if it was possible to have sense 2 on it, then its like the best of both worlds
should be possible since its a sense rom but id say a new kernel would be needed?
Possible ? Sure, but I don't think that You'll find a developer which will try to port 2.1 on a device already coming with Sense 3.0.
Sense 2.1 is only build for older devices and not for sensation for evo. 3d
Is anybody here party to any reliable information regarding an official sense 3.5 ota?
I find 3.5 a nice improvment on 3.0 and would love to get it officially with the minor bugs ironed out that are present in the leaked test release.
Do we think (or know) that this will happen or will we have to wait for a further iteration of sense (4.0?) before we get any official updates.
I get the impression that the dev's are a little quiet at the moment so perhaps some people know things that the rest of us are not party to??
There's talk that as ICS is out early next year HTC won't bother with officially releasing the leaked ROM. However, we may still get Sense 3.5 as there's nothing to suggest we'll get Sense 4.0 when ICS is released
I hope it soon comes....
Find the HTCnotebook as widget so great, it would soon like to have...

I don't think that htc Will leave us atto 2.3.4 till ICS release...
In my opinion the 2.3.5 with sense 3.5 Will arrive (sooner or later)
i think that sense 3.5 comes with ICS
they just devepoped a new sense and they are not going to use it?
well seems not really understandable to me so i would guess
ICS 4.0 with HTC sense 3.5
otherwise it would be (again) a sense 3.0 (or 3.5) based UI with only slight changes and nothing big to show

The fact is that in my opinion htc could't leave One or its top devices with an older software than other devices like htc rhyme or sensation xl

Have you been wondering what HTC plan to do with Ice Cream Sandwich on their devices?
Well, wonder no more as one of our internal sources at HTC has managed to lay his hands on their very first internally distributed test build of Google's latest and greatest. Built on Android 4.0.1 (the build is a month old, and it will become 4.0.3 by the time it hits public release), the first test releases are intended for the HTC Sensation / Sensation XE and sport the 3.0x version tag. The usual HTC customisations are present including HTC Sense 3.5, so don't expect any massive visual changes for Ice Cream Sandwich. As you would expect, ICS has been slightly sliced and dice to give the HTC experience - Facelock is present but the new keyboard is replaced by an updated HTC IME etc.
We hope to have some ICS on Sensation screenshots very soon... watch this space!

How different can the ice cream sandwich be for the users, if it comes with the exact same sense UI as the gingerbread?
An increased build number in the settings? not worth waiting for IMO
I want an untouched Ice cream sandwich
Sense 3,5? That sucks. What will happen with devices that already have 3,5? Do they just keep it?
Give them some time, either w8 2 month for sense 4.0 with Ginger or 2 month for sense 3.5 with Ice creame

I dont understand why HTC would want to ruin what from all ive read is by far the best and most professional version of Android yet by adding bloody sense on top again
all HTC needs to do is add Sense widgets to stock ICS and call it a day.
That would be perfect... but HTC won't...
they better not mess it up and make it lag.
I understand they have to add sense on to it as one of their biggest USPs. I dont really see the point of adding 3.5 though other than getting a phone out running ICS. I certainly wont be flashing anything ICS + Sense 3.5, id rather wait for a pure build like CM9, or wait until/if they sort out sense 4.
Sense 3.5 is really good and way better than Sense 3.0 and probably with ICS it'll get better with hw acceleration and remember the post talks about initial rom, probably public release will have Sense 4.0
HTC and all the others are going to add their gimmick with out a doubt. Why would they not? Thats THEIR calling card afterall.
The question is, can WE remove it? I used TB to freeze Sense on my phone and replaced Sense with ADW EX. Now the question is, can I freeze Sense and let ICS come out to play, or is ICS launcher gone at this point?

I don't think you can count on that. HTC removes stuff from original ICS, and then ads sense into it. So I don't think you will run a stable version of ICS without sense.

That sucks. How much of a chump will I feel for freezing Sense, then adding ADW EX, and then finally having to run an ICS theme? Sheesh.
Well, Im sure that once HTC has released it CM9 wont be far behind for the Sensation. I could live with ADW EX until CM9 comes out.

Why did anyone think for one second Sense would not be in this release? EVERY HTC device has Sense as it's the selling point. Don't like it, get a different handset - it's a simple solution.
Have to say, though, Android 4 is awesome
Everyone sais ics looks good and stuff and yer most of it does but am I the only one who thinks any vanilla Android launcher looks so boring? And the widgets sucks. I love sense, however I'd like 4.0 just for something new

Honestly, we guys are looking at the bad site of what HTC could do. Who knows? It might be even better than the stock ICS...
Haven't you guys seen the leaked build of ICS with Touchwiz for the Galaxy S2 phones? It's still the same thing as it is currently. Same thing with Sense, it'll be the same exact thing, we won't even get the new battery/wifi/signal icons that come with ICS.
I still wouldn't mind it though, I love Sense, some hate it. And plus with hardware acceleration, hopefully it'd be quicker.

We wont get those icons? -.-'' x2
If they put sense 3,5 in it, and it removes some stuff, then there is no actual point of giving us 4.0
