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

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
Well we all know sense is fat and slow. It looks great. But we want speed. Or at least i do. I use adw at the moment. I think its pretty good. Have any of you tried launcher pro or something else that you think is far better than any other. Lets take a poll. Im interested. Thanks

I'm a fan of Gingerbread Launcher by MoRaVia. Simple and snappy. Also, it is free.

ADW EX. I'll never use anything else. The hidden dockbar is just too good. Fast and clean and nothing else comes close for customization.
Also used Launcher Pro, but ADW wins.
I have always used adw on my other phones with CM7, but it didn't seem to run very well on the sensation. I just tried Launcher Pro starting about 2 days ago and that is where I am staying until something changes.
I haven't GoLauncher EX is the only one that wasn't slow on my phone...ADW was great on my G2 though.

I thought the same until I found wave launcher. I still swap from launcher 7 and adw ex, but I no longer use the hidden dock.

I've had both Launcher Pro and ADW Ex. I liked ADW Ex better than Launcher Pro. Both were definitely faster and snappier than the Sense. But I put Sense back on cause of the looks.
Had ADW EX for a little while but then switched to Go Launcher EX. I actually find it more customizable. Both were fast for me. I don't think I'll switch for a while.
Sense is fine for me. I think it's just as quick as the other launchers stock for stock

cant get away from sense : /
i love customization of adw ex but i always end up missing my sense widgets.. now if someone can develop some sense widget replacements ill be set
I use Go Launcher. I tried Adw and launcher Pro ex but I just think that the customization in Go Launcher is better than anything else, at the moment anyways. I also like the transitions and the" wrap around" home screens. I keep the other two installed just to check for updates.
I wouldn't mind a faster launcher, but I really like the ring lockscreen scheme on Sense.

I bought the phone because of his software and speed and the only thing i miss is root to tweak the rest little bits

Do any launchers support the qHD wallpaper like Sense does? I've tried Go Launcher and ADW and can't get them to not crop my wallpaper photo too much. The form factor isn't right.
Also Go Launcher dock icons are too small on this screen, and don't seem adjustable.
Tried using ADW and Launcher Pro PLus for some time....
I realized, Sense 3.0 is the best
Adw has some hd icons and walls. Also on adw you can change the size of icons. Just saying. Might help.

I use launcher pro and you still keep the sense lockscreen. One downfall of sense is that it only takes gives you a 4x4 layout. I have 5x10 layout using launcher pro means you can fit more on your homescreens. Plus you can resize widgets.

I'm using launcher pro but would like to know anything better it seems too old but it runs a hello of a lot smoother then sense though. No reloading sense everytime I hit the home screen
Adw ex is nice with alot of customizations. Yes launcherpro is fast.

my s-off sensation, thanks to Revolutinary !!!
what does it mean to get the s off
Put simply S-off is a step in rooting your phone.
Anyways, I use the Stock Gingerbread launcher for qhd phones. It's not that customizable, but it's simple, clean, fast, and doesn't take up much space.
Launcher pro here. I've tried a lot, but I keep coming back to Launcher Pro.
I use adw launcher ex. It has lots of customization. The screen transitions are ultra smooth. I've used it since I started using android.

There is the Go Launcher and ADW Launcher like you said. Try LauncherPro or NovaLauncher. Just search the market for launchers. Or google. I think its all based on grid.
I've been trying them all was hoping someone knew something 3rd party not based through the market :/

You can always use circle launcher for increased personalization.
Sent from MIUI on my HTC Inspire.
My favorite right now is Launcher 7 from the market. Its simple, stylish and customizable. I'm running that on top of CM7 with an ICS theme, and haven't looked back.
Where do you get themes for it I mean I've had It but wp7 never appealed to me

I paid for adw launcher ex and love it. ive used launcher pro, go launcher and adw is my fave.
I too am using ex but I'm a person who wants something different all the time and these are just getting boring :/

There are no themes for Launcher 7 as far as I know. It's basically 2 screens; the WP7 style tiled grid, and the application list to the right. What you can do though is use your own images as icons, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a colored tile with the white icon in the middle (the default setup). Using a transparent.png and some images you like you can bend it to your liking. The CM7 ICS theme just affects the highlight color when selecting an app from the list and some small color accents when hitting the soft menu.
Before I found Launcher 7 I was using Launcher Pro, so that would be my next vote, then ADW.
I use Zeam. Love it.

Go Launcher EX is really good. I can't really think of any launcher not based on a grid but there are Circule Laucher that's not really a laucher but more of a "laucher" inside of a launcher. It look really good though. An alternative is WaveLauncher which is not bad either.

If you want something completely different, you could tty Rocket Launcher. Not my thing, but kind of cool.

I paid for ADW and used that for quite some time. I just purchased SPB Shell 3D and I have enjoyed it. The price tag is a bit steep but I have been using it on my Acer Iconia tablet and found it to be great!
I liked how you could change out the panels

I'll cast another vote for Launcher Pro Plus. I'm a big fan of its widgets. The calendar widget is very clean, minimal, and lets you toggle easily between month and list views. I have LPP running on CM7 and it's incredibly stable. It's also very customizable. You can't do away with the grid layout, but at least you can change rows/columns. It also has a super smooth vertical scrolling app drawer, if you're into that.
I don't run widgets. Cost to much memory so I just keep it clean and simple. I only use one widget at a time

Hello,
Im using trebuchet right now, because I don't want to change my unstable cyanogen 9.
I replaced my stock adw from cm7 for go launcher ex, because it is less laggy and you can hide apps.
So my questions is what are you using and why are you using it?

ADW. I love all the themes for it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Apex launcher of course! Its smooth and easy to use.
Stock LG Optimus launcher using stock Froyo.
Apex Launcher with a Blu Kuban twist. The only launcher and ROM worth running IMHO.
Nova Launcher. Very nice. I will probably get the paid version as soon as I have money to spare. End of the month here so I'm prioritizing food instead..
I like the app drawer and the fact that you can turn off all the animations etc. If it's something I hate it's 3d effects in the home screen and app drawer. Urgh.
It's the only one I've felt is actually better than HTC Sense 4.0 that is already on the device (One V). I would probably be more keen to switch the launcher if I had a Samsung phone.
With ICS I love using Apex. One of the most fluid launchers I've ever used, and it's pretty customizable.

Even with ICS my favourite launcher is still GO Launcher. In fact, I think the GO Dev team bring a large number of quality apps to Android, which is something a lot of Android apps unfortunately lack.
I keep switching between Apex & MiHome.
