LauncherPro Plus has a widget that shows Facebook and Twitter updates in the same widget, and allows you to update both services at the same time...

Use TweetDeck.

Pure Messenger is nifty & offers a lot more than Friendstream
sms, gmail, call log, twitter, facebook etc

None compare to the sense widgets as far as looks go. Some of them may do more, but they all greatly sacrificed on there athstetics.

depends if u like the look of sense. there are many themes available for pure messenger, i'm sure u could find one that you like.

Idk i can't exactly say that i look the look of sense(hence i put a theme on it) but there is no doubt about it that sense is definitely professionally done. It seems like a lot of amateur themes seem well amateurish. Hope you can find a theme you like there are some that look cool. Tweetdeck is pretty cool too and doesn't look half bad either kinda blends with the stock look

Thanks a lot guys! Letme take a look on those apps...

[APP]** AOSP Style Contacts/Dialer APK**

AOSP Style Contacts/Dialer APK​
I have a simple request. I will be purchasing the HTC Sensation 4G in a few days and we all know that for the most part root isn't available. As a result, I will be forced to use HTC Sense 3.0 until root is established and Custom Roms become available. I will probably use ADW EX as my launcher, but I will be stuck with the HTC Sense Dialer/Contacts. Is there any brave soul out there that can create a dialer/Contact apk that is the same as the AOSP version that can be installed without root? There are a few mods/fixes out there that require root to move the dialer.apk to the main system folder etc but obviously since the Sensation doesn't have root yet I will not be able to use those. I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE STOCK HTC DIALER & CONTACTS APPS... I am willing to donate to the person that figures this out....also I'm sure I am not the only person interested in this so uploading the apk to the android market could prove profitable for you also? Here are some examples:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539752
AND
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871787&highlight=contacts+aosp
Remember it has to be installed "Unknown Sources" style or a market link etc....

I am as well! I absolutely hate the HTC Dialer/Contacts. I urge manufacturers to stop messing with the GOOD AOSP apps!

I agree.... I hate the HTC dialer.

Guys, look at my very soon to be released ROM...NoClutterSense...the dialer and lots of other HTC apps have been replaced with the AOSP counterparts. My ROM thread is here.

I have used RocketDial on my phones in the past and love it.
There is a free version but, support the Dev and get the full version
you won't be sorry.

Just installed this & like it a lot- but is there a way to disable the stock caller ID screen? It pops up & the RocketDial's pops up & I have to hit answer on both before the call connects.

i too would love a stock/aosp dialer for the sensation.

Now Fixed, just have to re-size & it's working fine on the Sensation I love me some Stock Dialer. http://twitpic.com/648vs4
Still working on it, but it wont be installable via apk install nor market & so on...
The version I'm working on has to be a full replacement app..

[Q] G2x + Sense 3.0 features ... is that even possible ?

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if some of the sense 3.0 widgets can be developed for G2x?? Atleast the sense 3.0 lock screen. Is it anyway possible or on the cards or should i stop dreaming ??

Its great to dream, but in this case you should stop dreaming. The G2x and sense roms has 2 different framework so it will never work and even if it could it would take tons of modding that wouldn't be worth the trouble. Its similar to trying to put a Ferrari body on a Mercedes chassis.

There's a app called "Go To Lockscreen" and it pretty much gives you the features of the Sense lock screen. Its a good app.

im not sure if you wanted sense for the same reason i did. i wanted sense for the dialer + messaging client. althought we probably wont get the sense dialer, there is an app called GO Dialer, and GO Sms that is similar to the sense applications. Stock android dialer SUCKS! anyways hope this helps

The lock screen, dialer, messaging client and contacts client are the only good things about Sense. The vanilla clients are boring with less features. What's cool about the Sense contacts client is that contact pictures are just there with no loading. The vanilla contact client lags a little bit and there is a delay in showing the pictures.

Sense has some neat stuff but most of it is cosmetic.
Launcher Pro already has some Sense-like widgets built in and are themeable. They look like Sense out of the box. You can also customize Launcher Pro's dock bar to match any version of Sense.
Go Dialer and Go SMS are popular because you can theme them to look like whatever you want. I've also used "Dialer One" which was a "HTC SENSE Dialer" Clone at one time. I think they've went down their own path since but still has the same great functionality.
Moral of the story, you can make you phone look and feel like a Stock-Sense rom without having the stock-sense rom.
And I think they're porting Sense over in the O2x forums (directed at the second poster). MIUI, Sense, and CM7 are the 3 roms that should be ported to every phone. Completely do-able though. Nexus One has all 3.... but maybe I was spoiled.

It was possible on my hd2 windows phone. So I would say yes, it is possible. That phone had a much bigger following so I will not say it is propable.

as things have been said, launcherpro, GoTo LockScreen, things like that can give the customized feeling of not being on stock android...

I think the problem is we are on a LG phone trying to port a HTC client, Samsung Galaxy series never got it to work fully, just my opinion. I am not saying it is not possible, I am one that loves options and would like to see it happen though.

You can find software that looks like Sense such as Go Messenger but there is no contacts client out there with the deep integration/features you get with Sense. The Contacts Client is the only thing I like about HTC and I have yet to see one done better. Just ain't going to happen.

Smh it is being worked on in the o2x forums therefore eventually it will make its way here... just give it time.

Replace Sense w stock ICS lock screen, no apk needed

Thought I'd share a little trick I found in the HTC Rezound forum... turns out you can easily peel off the Sense-style lock screen and leave your One X with clean-looking stock ICS lock. You simply need to rename /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk to something else, reboot, and voila, Sense doesn't skin it. I renamed it using adb shell.
It doesn't work perfectly however... I've already found a couple bugs where incoming calls don't show up on the screen (only in the status bar), and if you use something like Google Music that is supposed to add controls to the lock screen, only a black background is shown. I'm sure these functions are supposed to be handled by the Sense Lock UI which is no longer there. Maybe somebody smarter than me can figure out how to fix, or maybe this is just a useless crippled hack.

Awesome!!
Too bad about the music on the locscreen though

Sure, but there hasn't been any mention of it in the HOX forums, and this is the first phone with Sense4, which is why I linked to it here after finding this neat-o trick. That is all.

This is really cool, I'll definitely have to get around to trying it out sometime soon.
Thanks for sharing!

I doubt it, most of HTC's other apps are complete replacements of stock, whereas the Sense lockscreen is really just a skin sitting on top of ICS.
So it makes sense why incoming calls, texts, etc. using HTC's stock apps don't show up on the ICS lockscreen (they want to be handled by HTC's skin)....but I'm not sure why Google Music won't show controls since it isn't an HTC app. Curious!

Nice tip! Thanks for the info!

Big CM10 + Sense question

I'm not sure if this is possible but its worth a try to ask. I really like the phone app built into the CM9/10 ROM. Im using rebellMOD and love it but i was wondering if there was a way to extract the phone app either to replace or work beside the sense one (replace would be nice, but anything would be sweet) Viper rom would be the one I'd like to use. Also would it be possible to get the standard Mail app (the yellow one) from CM9/10 to work on a sense rom? I like it over the one built in?
Any help would be sweet! Or just info to how or why its not possible. Thanks!

Anyone? Mail app is not as important

Don't think it can be done

Well, if you take viper for example there's an aosp dialer and contact list THEME. Not the real $h!t, but it looks pretty close

I think Scott tried to bring the AOSP dialer into Clean Rom dev a long while back and had no luck getting it to work. You could try theming it though.
And I have no clue about the mail app. I always delete it since all I use on my phone is gmail.
