I have been running gingerbeast by di11igaf and im very happy as all ive been doing is constant texting, xda, and music but the more i see sense the more i miss the visual and social boosts of it. Yeah, yeah, better battery, faster, blah blah. I understand... But whats all the hype about that when you dont have much to do with your phone? theres isnt alot of stuff packed into aosp and i know thats the point but i dont have a debit so im not able to buy apps and its very boring, missing all the widgets and **** like that... What are your guy's opinion on this? and also what apps/widgets do you use to replace sense stuff on aosp if you use it?
Thanks,
Chris

Nothing wrong with trying different ROMs. Make a nandroid of your Gingerbeast build and then maybe start playing around with the latest builds of CoreDroid or RCMix3D Kingdom. They have most of the Sense 3.0 kinks worked out, and these ROMs are great looking and have a bunch of those HTC widgets you're drooling for.
The biggest thing with sense is social networking
If you don't use(or use your phone for it) Facebook, twitter, etc sense is pointless. There's plenty of apps to replace most sense stuff anyway. So for a lot of people the sense stuff is bloat(to me it is)
You can do everything you could do with sense, minus networking. I'm 28, me and my friends and family still text and talk on the phone. When I was growing up, AOL and chatrooms were social networking.
You can still-
Browse, message, take pics, videos, YouTube, work, games, movies, music, mess with your phone when your bored waiting in lines and whatnot(probably 90% of my phone usage)
Launcher Pro has most of these as widgets anyway if you want to keep the "AOSP experience".

I cant buy apps, launcher pro only gives widgets for the paid version, or i would do that. I installed rcmix 1.0 today to try sense 3.0 and its wayy to heavvy.. Remembered how much i hated sense app drawer, settings layout, and dock... Only thing i missed was the weather app, friend stream, and a couple other widgets.. Going back to gingerbeast if i don't enjoy leedroid... tried AR and Core droid, AR wasnt anything special and Core droid was way over themed and stuff like that.. Good job keeping my attention di11 =) lol
OP-
Try Di11i's other ROM with Sense here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004718. I love it!

I kinda looked, but I couldn't find any mention of this. I am running Hero beta4 and just happen to run the tutorial. What do you know, its the Rosie UI, exactly as it appears in all those youtube videos. Except its running on my phone. I kind of thought the person in the youtube video was running Rosie.....it appears that all they were doing is running the tutorial off the Hero build.
It was stated by Haykuro that the videos were just the tutorial. He was trying to make them work for us before all the crap happened.
I installed then unistalled the herob4 build, the facebook stuff crashed and no UI and my ethics were eating away at my soul/ lol not really, kinda...idk...did xdan aplogize? i know the fake roger rom guy won't....does xda have an IRC? it should have a built in jave one...i'm gunna go find out

Myself, I kind of like the Hero build. I really really like the browser. I think a simple tap in-tap out approach to surfing works best. Some consider the lack of the zoom controls a flaw; I consider it a blessing.
Initially, there were many force closes, but after many reboots, they have mostly gone away and the phone is actually getting snappy. The personalize screen still force closes. The social apps work, except twitter.
Oh, and the browser is I guess broke...some kind of rendering error on most pages..I really don't want to re-flash

yeah, I've seen that too. Let me clarify since I obviously mis-spoke enough to cause confusion. I'm didn't mean to imply that Haykuro wasn't running Rosie, he obviously had control of the phone. I was just realizing that the Rosie demos were actually already on the Hero build. They're nice to watch.
I really like the visual bookmarks and panning tabs of this build. The rom in general is super sweet. BUT...I cannot get the browser to work. This is a major bummer. Maybe someone significantly more skilled than I will sort this out.
browser seems to be working fine for me on Beta 4.
My biggest problem with this ROM is bluetooth not working...I can't sync it with my car anymore and can't use the handsfree features in the car.
But I HATE the way the older ROMs look...the Black status bar at the top is AWESOME!

How exactly is your browser malfunctioning? Force closes or something else?
When i visit mobile pages, everything is great. But as soon as I try to visit a desktop version of a site, then it gives an error. The error message is actually part of the page, and it says:This page contains the following errors: error on line 219 column 26.....xmlparseEntityRef: no name.
The page has been loaded up until first error.
actually, the browser seems to work on wi-fi. But on edge, it will give you the parsing error when loading non-mobile pages. That is odd. I have checked APN settings and they seem ok.
Man, I loathe having to go back to an earlier ROM, I so love the way your history looks in this browser.

Does anyone think that Htc music "in sense ui" can be ported to nexus
anyone???...
The answer has always been "no" and I assume it still is. I was told Google doesn't try to make their apps look good or fun to use because their goal is for developers to do that. Hopefully Google will understand developers can't or won't and maybe Google will be more hands on with apps and widgets, particularly music which nobody likes and no decent alternatives exist. The acer one is ok but not worth having two music apps over, in my stupid opinion.
not to trash this thread or anything but for dream/magic they had the working version of htc music from hero port.
i know this had to have been discussed in the past and even done already, i just cant find it.
I do not like, one little bit the AOSP email and browser.
the email is just a gmail app ripoff along with every single email app on the market.
the Sense email app is the only one of its kind that i have found. Same for the Sense browser.
the aosp email is just garbage in my eyes (no offense cyanogen team)
you cant resize emails whether its portrait or landscape
you always have to click download pictures
scrolling left and right, for what ever ungodly reason is a pita, the app just doesnt want to do it.
the worst part,, oh god... it always tells you you have new emails just because you didnt read or delete all unread messages... friggin frackin ****in retarded. (again sorry cyanogen team,, but this email app is horrible)
the only thing i like about the gmail, i mean aosp email app is its easy to select and delete emails....
so, with all that being said, and again, no offense to the Cyanogen Team, is there a flashable zip or similar with the Sense Email and Browser that i can flash over SuperEVO to make it the complete rom i wish it to be...
thanks!

Sense applications rely upon sense framework and will not work on AOSP roms. There are a lot of other options for email/browsers in the market.
I am a fan of xscope browser.
I cannot comment on email as I use gmail exclusively.
I have heard very good things about k-9 mail though.
I hope you find what you are looking for.

i actually want to use it not so much for superevo rom but for MIUI.
MIUI is not 100% aosp the way i understand it, its got a bit of both, but more aosp than anything.
i just dont know how to do flashable zips or even where to start on how to make it installable via flash, and i understand that there is a com.android.xxxxx.xxx hiding somewhere else for the browser/email right so if its missed,, it wont work .

MIUI is nuts and what I am running currently.
It is built from AOSP source code.
They HEAVILY modified the framework of it to make it look the way it does. At this time there is no way to run any sense type app on MIUI.
I wish I could give you better news brah
I have tried these so far
Twidroyd
Twidroyd was one of the first Android Twitter apps, and it has remained one of the best. The only complaint I’ve had is that Twidroyd isn’t as fast as it once was, but that hasn’t stopped it from being one of the most used apps. The Pro edition of Twidroyd was among the first to introduce new features like multiple accounts, themes, and media sharing, so users can count on strong features in a good interface.
Tweetcaster
The Tweetcaster interface is very pretty and the features are appealing. There are dark and light theme options, favorites, profile reading, filtering by user, and the ability to save searches. In fact, features are the saving grace of the app because it is one of the most-decorated of the comparison chart. No matter what I removed or added, Tweetcaster typically had it. I’m unable to get Twitter.com list support, but the app does let users create lists within the app. The free and pro editions are identical except that free version includes advertisements.
Plame
Full disclosure: I’m biased in my admiration for Plame. I love when apps incorporate beautiful designs, and few apps are as pretty Plame. Anyone who uses this app should opt for the Premium version, which adds theme support, color-coded multiple accounts, a widget, and threaded conversations. The great thing about Plame is that its constantly updating. The app needs to improve its speed to rival other apps, but Plame remains one of my favorites.
Great for: People who value good looks, lots of features, and constant updates
Am currently using both Tweetcaster PRO and Plume, Plume is really cool and I love the features but it is dirt slow with updating the tweets. Tweetcast PRO I just got so am still feeling it out fully but it is definitely faster then Plume in everyway...
So which twitter app would you recommend??? which do you use on a regular basis???
I always use Plume.. I've tried the others and I enjoyed Plume the best..
I use tweetcaster it seems to do what I like. I tried tweetdeck but i didn't like it at all. I am going to download plume and test it out now though
Best twitter app I've tried was seesmic, but I'm running twicca right now and its probably a tie. I tried all those others you listed and tweetdeck and they all suck.
Best cleanest and fastest I feel is seesmic, full featured is tweetcaster and twidroyd. Don't like plume at all anymore.

I haven't tried many of the other ones so I can't say. They just look "after marketish" to me tho..
I'm not a major "tweeter" I just follow a lot of the things I'm interested in and use it for updates.
I'm just coming to the conclusion that you really can't go wrong with any as there some who will go to bat for each twitter client. I for one paid for Tweetcaster and liked it and haven't tried another one since. This thread is making me want to try the others again though.
One question I do have though, which client has the best widget? That's the deal breaker for me.
Plume hands down
I hop between Plume and Twitdroyd but I use plume 90% of the time.
I've tried twitter, tweetdeck, seesmic and tweetcaster and keep coming back to tweetcaster. It's not as intuitive as some of the others, but I like the combination of appearance and features better than the others.
[edit] Ok, so I just checked out Plume, and it might become my new favorite. Thanks for the recommendation! [/edit]
I use Plume
i used plume for the longest. i loved it but i got tired of it so i am using tweetdeck now and i like this as well if i had two pick the better of the two i would say plume
Wow, I really thought Tweetdeck would be getting more love. It's by far my favorite. Plume is nice, but why not have Facebook, Buzz, and Foursquare all rolled in? The only thing I don't like about it is the widgets.
The 'Tweetdark' mod makes Tweetdeck that much better.
The official Twitter app, after one of the updates, got a lot better. But I still use Seesmic. Don't tweet much, myself, mainly for following various 'parties.' Very clean and quick. Perfect for myself.
My main gripe with Twitter apps is that none of them offer push notifications for mentions and replies; They all poll, some of them in as little as 3 minutes by default (Tweetcaster and I think Plume). I mean, polling for new tweets every THREE MINUTES BY DEFAULT?
That is absolutely insane. You can drain your battery in a few hours without even touching your phone if-- God forbid -- you forget to shut them down , or are an average user and simply don't know the effects of this on the battery.
Heck, I think even a poll of every 15 minutes is too much.
I've tried emailing them and I've gotten some responses but no changes--months later.
So personally this is my setup: Official Twitter app with no background updating, Plus Notifo Beta (Google it) and Push.ly. That way I get my mentions and replies pushed to my phone. I'm still testing it and some people say it's unrealiable, but I can always come back to regular SMS notifications.

Longtime winmo user with t-mobile since mda vario so have gotten used to tweaking the registry direct and finding/installing ARM cabs off the internet, but as Android seems to be the way to go i feel now is a good time to take the plunge, so just a few noob questions about android to make me feel at ease
#1 Can you save direct from the browser files such as mp3s zips rars etc to be viewed later? having used a friends iPhone i noticed it streamed music and video files rather than a save as option.
#2 Do you have control of the directory structure eg a form of file explorer,so you can rearrange where things are located on your device or card.
#3 given I'm not very likely to mess around with roms and the like, and this phone has htc's sense front end, will I find the migration from the HD2s interface to the sensation easy? i love all the Facebook, YouTube and twitter integration so I'm hoping it will all be there in some form or another.
I realise a lot of this is subjective and rather depends on the individual, but I would appreciate feedback on these less techie issues, as im more likely to base my upgrade on functionality than specification.
cheers!

1) yes
2) yes (Astro File manager works very well)
3) you shouldnt have a problem making the transition.
I'd like to add in a questions since I'm doing the exact same thing (MDA>Tilt>TP2>HD2).
Is there any way to backup my text messages to my PC & read them from there? I currently use Jeyo Mobile Extender to back up my HD2s texts to Outlook & can read them there.
Also, I use Outlook to sync my calendar & contacts, is it an easy transition from this to using Google? I've seen how you can use the HTC Sync program to sync with Outlook but that doesn't look as easy as using Active Sync/WMDC
When I used WinMo/Outlook last (2008), I imported my contacts directly into Google. A search will get you multiple ways I'm sure.
Handcent is widely considered the best replacement SMS client on Android, and it offers some cloud features for SMS.
Alternately, you could port your number to Google Voice or simply use Voice for all of your SMS needs so it's all managed withing the Android app and available on the web.
There are many SMS backup app utilities also.
Ok more questions.
-How easy/hard is it to change the various icons & stuff in Android. I currently use DINIK's custom just about everything on WM6.5 & would like to do something similar in Android.
-Can the camera timestamp pics on the image like in WM?
-If you add a birthday to a Contact & sync does it automatically add it to the Calendar (& put it all the way back to the year) like in WM?
I may have more. Also, sorry OP for hijacking your thread.
I've never seen a reason to change any of the icons in Android. The stock Android icons are just fine, and Sense might change that. Can't answer that one.
I'm not sure why you'd want to put a timestamp on the actual photo. All of that information is in the EXIF data embedded in the .jpg. My Nexus One has no apparent means of adding the timestamp, but there are many, many camera applications available and I'm sure it's a feature elsewhere. Also, the Sensation might not use the Android camera, and that feature could be present in an HTC camera.
I always did like the birthday thing in WM, and I've not fiddled with it enough to see if that's a feature that has been retained. The stock Android calendar widget is crap, as it's only one event per day, so perhaps Sense and/or a Calendar app, of which there are many, can facilitate this.
(As I said, I've used WM6 in the past, but it's been a while. My Herald with WM6.5 was okay, but the last time I used it as a primary phone was November 2008 on the MDA.)
I understand all the info in in the EXIF data, but I do like having the timestamp so I can see the date of the pic right away.
So the stock Calendar app kinda sucks huh? Hmm I'll have to look in to that when I get this phone. I rely on this app a lot for reminders of birthdays, bills, tasks, etc.
As for the icons, I'm just curious. WMs icons sucked (as everyone knows) so of course everyone wanted them changed. I'd just like to know that the option is there for Android in case I want to do it.
Fair enough.
The calendar app is decent, and you can set alarms and notifications with ease. One of the greatest things about the Google integration is that your changes done on the device or web are synchronized, which I'm certain you're aware of.
The Calendar widget is my complaint. You can have 10 events happening on a day and it'll only display one of them. Not two, or an indicator that there are more events to be seen. One.
There are other free and paid calendar widgets that make this much less an issue.
Google app icons are, like most things Google, simple and effective.

ah ok, thanks for the clarification. Sadly WM is the same way but the mod Cookie's Home Tab was able to fix that & let's you decide how many to show. I guess I'll have to find a replacement.
I'm actually shocked people still use winmo on HD2. Android is a breath of fresh air.

I tried it once, couldn't get the MMS settings to stick & just forgot about it. I like WM6.5 but I'm ready for an OS that still has support for new stuff.
Another question: my girlfriend has the MyTouch4G. I've noticed the screen doesn't turn on when receiving a text message. Is this standard on Android? Is there anyway to fix that?
Also, for the MMS settings on hers, there's no way to choose how to download the pic. With WM on my HD2 it gives you the option of original resolution & other, smaller ones. Is there a way to do that in Android as well?
The MT4G has some serious tweaks to it, but the SMS behavior is probably normal. I recommend Hancent again because not only does it wake and notify, but you can send a reply without unlocking the screen, though it does not unlock the device.
MMS saving is pretty much save-what-you-get, which sometimes is not that large. There are also MMS-saving apps.

If she is on stock? The stock screen turns on briefly then turns off. The mms setting is weird it took me awhile to find out how to do it. You don't click the picture you click and hold slightly above it and then there is an option to save.

Fair play. what got my goat, was windows mobile has been out for a looong time. And it didn't really change much. then iphone came along, with a million quality apps, and nothing really changed with winmo. and then Android came along with a million free apps, and after a while in the UK we got the Marketplace in the UK with, erm about 8 apps, and then they charged you like £20!
After playing with these other phones, as soon as a reliable android rom became available, I gave winmo the 2 fingers. I've used them for 10 years, so have a right to be miffed. But yeah, roms not designed for the device were flakey. and like you I prob won't mess with my next phone.
Was just shocked that people stuck to winmo, with there being an alternative, - unlimited amount of android fun.
Anyone not used these android phones will be blown away with the amount of free useful and gimmicky apps.

MMS saving is pretty much save-what-you-get, which sometimes is not that large. There are also MMS-saving apps.

it sucks. I'll send her a pic from the HD2 & when she gets it it's been shrunk down a lot. When she sends me a picture it's still fairly big because of the setting on WM.

If she is on stock? The stock screen turns on briefly then turns off. The mms setting is weird it took me awhile to find out how to do it. You don't click the picture you click and hold slightly above it and then there is an option to save.

it's not the saving that I'm worried about, it's the fact that pics that I send her that should be a lot bigger are shrunk down in size. If someone sends me a pic, I want it to be as big as possible & not be messed with before it gets to me.

I'm pretty much a stickler for stock roms. i know, call me old fashioned but I'm probably going to mess about with my HD2 once it isn't my only phone

I agree, I like stock ROMs. The 3.14 ROM is nice & I have it set up perfectly with CHT. I'm going to do the same thing tho with my HD2 once I get the Sensation.
There's no good reason to use MMS between you two. Get Dropbox accounts and share a folder. Upload photos there and they're full size and accessible anywhere.

yeah but there's still a reason to MMS between me & my mother/sister/brother/buddy/friends that don't have Android phones.
Your reasoning is kinda like the reason Apple kept MMS out of the iPhone for so long: they thought it wasn't needed because you can just email it. Sorry but MMS will be around for a bit.
Oh man, good on you for reminding me of how Apple resisted MMS for so long. Heck, most people forget that the iPhone HAD NO APPS for a year after it was released.
@OP
Are you looking about upgrading to the Sensation, or is this about android on the HD2
If it isn't about the sensation, do you mind if I move this to HD2 Android.
