[Q] Change Number Of Homescreens ? - HTC Sensation

Is it possible to keep the stock sense 3.0 launcher but cut down the amount of screens to about 5 ?
Thanks

I'd like to be able to do that too. Galaxy SII has this feature. You can remove screens just as easy as you'd remove a widget. Hopefully next versions of Sense will have this too.

No. It's not. Rosie has the worst customization of any launcher out there.

[Q] Sense 3 carousel scrollable rom?

Ok from sense 3.0 on dhd experience I know because of the new carousel thingy, wallpapers are not scrolable anymore! Now that sense 3 has been modded for months, can't we get both carousel and scroll? And yes its totally feasable since adw can do it...
So any roms or devs willing to do it on sense 3 sensation?
Hi, how does this work with ADW?
I haven't used a rom yet on my sensation.

[Q] Landscape Homescreen/App Drawer in Sense?

One major setback about Sense is that it doesn't allow Sense to rotate into landscape mode. Any ideas on why HTC haven't allowed Sense to rotate? Kind of pointless when the docks are landscape...
I've tried other launchers but they don't appeal to me.
What I might start doing is use Tasker to launch Launcher Pro when my phone is docked... I know that launcher does landscape. But even when I charge using a cable it will lanch launcher pro...
I agree. It feels like they left many things out when they released our phones. Hopefully an update will fix/finish those things.
I know for the EVO 4G they ported Sense ROMs from the Inspire which was modded to include a landscape version of Sense in a flashable zip. Might want to find it and either try it (diff. phone/Sense ver though) or contact one of the devs.
Why don't we keep bugging htc about it? Just as many as people was bugging htc about s-off XD

[REQUEST] HTC Quicklaunch Widget and Clock

Hey guys, when I was on the HTC Amaze days they ported Sense 4 from the VilleC2 and it came with the Quicklaunch Widget but it didn't come with the Clock Widget incluided like it was back on Sense 3.5. Now they're 2 separate widgets. For some reason they didn't come with Sense 4 for the Evita. Unafortuantely due the higher resolution screen on the One X the widget from the Amaze port does not look good on our device. Did anyone get to port it? I've been looking for it but I don't see it, at least for HD screens like ours.

Sense 5 fail ?

So I just finaly previewed sense 5 thanks to all the ppl who helped port it .
So I only just noticed that they have ruined some of the most defining sense features .
Full screen are widgets virtually gone ....
They left 1 analog clock that's a 1x1 widget , Wtf it that
The new weather widget is totall garbage
The one on the blink feed is ok but you can't set it on your home screen .
Its seems they could of left a lot of the things they removed .
New app drawer also garbage , and why is the weather widget in the app drawer ?
Seems like sense 5 is more of a franken Rom built on a de sensed sense base with crappy windows 8 and android 1.5 features ..
Being a big sense fan , I am truly let down
Anyone else share the same feeling ?
What's your opinion

first time i saw sense 5 i thought "hey something new, cool" but after seeing it in action on the htc one was enough to tell its a fail (for me, imo).
and i just dont need this news kinda thing, i want my homescreens and more customization which sense never offered yet, to my disappointment.
(like having simple quick settings in drop down like 4.2.2. stock) < my wishes for sense 6/7 lol...
i hope the devs here will do more sense4+ roms, even when sense 5 is truly out =)
i also have same feeling. İf we get a stable base then we can think different. Some widgets can be ported also sense 4+ launcher can be ported its not a big problem right now. But sense 5 is fast butter fast i must say that..

dunno why u opened a thread for this
there is already a general thread for sense 5
I feel the same. I dint like it. Who needs all the bloody feeds on their home screen. I can damn google for them whenever needed
IMO, far from it.
I do not like the sense app drawer or launcher in general at all (never have), however, I would be using nova anyway so those things won't be a problem at all.
Blinkfeed looks all right, would never use it though, again not a problem, disable all the sources and swipe to the right or just install a different launcher.
Most of that stuff is easily fixable with 3rd party apps
For me sense V5 is epic for these reasons:
- nicer UI, more minimal and closer to stock android look
- no longer has labels for the icons on the top i.e. menu under the 3 dots
- got rid of the stupid big tabs on the bottom of some sense apps and replaced them with the stock tabs at the top, this will suit are smaller screen/lower res. far better
- zoe and the camera plus the gallery with live tiles/thumbnails are the highlights for me
- less bloated and less heavy so performance should be a bit better and we should get a wee boost in usable storage
- plus it might be more power efficient so better battery life
The person who was wanting quick setting like stock android, the reason sense doesn't have that is because it isn't based on the newest version of JB i.e. 4.2.2, once we get that update (supposedly we are getting the newer version of sense and 4.2.2 not the current one based on 4.1.2) then we will have those quick settings

Sense 5 - what makes it better?

My apologizes to create a new thread about Sense 5 which seems to be a hot and controversial topic right now.
I've got my hands on that controversial ROM with Sense 5 a couple days ago just because I was curious to see what kind of improvements Sense 5 over Sense 4+ will offer.
I don't really want to discuss a ROM itself, only Sense 5 is what interests me at this point.
To be honest I did not like it at all. Sure, it was snappier than my current ViperS 3.1.2 with Sense 4+ but besides Blinkfeed which I hardly care about it did not seem to offer any major improvements...
To me what made Sense and HTC phones preferred choice (besides hardware + design) were Sense looks and widgets that are mostly gone from Sense 5. I rely on mail and messaging widgets daily and also calendar/task widgets with my upcoming appointments have a prominent placement.
Without these I can just install any deSensed ROM on my HTC Sensation and slap any good launcher on top of it to get a similar results...
I know that I am coming late to the party, Sense 5 has been available for ages now, but until today I never had a chance to try it on my beloved Sensation. After my recent experience I will probably stick with Sense 4+ for a very long time because it works really well for me and I have also decided to postpone purchase of a new cellphone (I am still waiting for HTC to introduce a new flagship phone with micro SD slot included - HTC One Max is not what I am looking for).
I would like to hear about what are your thoughts as far Sense 5 is concerned and why should I forget about my favorite Sense 4 widgets...
Im not a Sense fan, but Sense5 should be lighter and faster.

As I have mentioned in my post, it is definitely snappier (because it's lighter = missing features). Obviously I use specific apps to do what I am trying to accomplish but for me specifically what made Sense attractive choice were widgets that provide needed information with one glance. These missing features in Sense 5 is what makes me to consider abandoning HTC phones all together and try different brand (Sony Z1 looks good to me).
Maybe I should rephrase what I am trying to say... "What makes Sense 5 better then lets say Nova launcher for example?"
I haven't tested one yet, but I LOVE how Sense looks.
I want my phone to look nice too

I wholeheartedly agree, looks of Sense was originally what attracted me to HTC phones in a first place, in my case starting with HTC Diamond. Damn, I am probably getting old :crying: since I still like "retro" Sense 4 design bit more than oversimplified Sense 5 icons. But it's mostly features that I value. My current ViperS 3.1.2 with it's tweaks makes my Sensation an amazing phone. The only thing I was hoping for with Sense 5 was faster, snappier performance without giving up on features.
Just give it some time. The official ViperS Sense 5 (with tweaks) isn't even out yet.
If you're looking for some widgets & features, I think some modders will take care of that.
And well, thank god for custom ROMs we can pretty much have any version of Sense on Sensation. 7 different versions! Damn.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I used the calendar, calculator, music and Notes widget the most, and they're gone from Sense 5. That's pretty much the only thing I miss, I really don't know why they would throw it out, it was something that differentiated sense from other launchers. Now it's all the same to me.

That is what I mean...
I have Asus Memo Pad 10, Tegra 3 makes it pretty fast and cost/value is very good as well. I have replaced original (slow) launcher with Nova launcher (currently my favorite) and decided to reduce number of screens to 3 although I might as well do fine with one only.
With general lack of useful widgets my screen is filed with grid of app icons and folders. It begins to resemble Apple products I despise.

You think those widgets can be ported? I know when I was on the desire forums that some had tried to port some widgets from GB sense 3.6 to earlier sense, but I don't think they managed to that. Hope it will be possible

Great, hope we'll get them as well.
I Like Sense 5 but.....
I like Sense 5, but I misse old Dial, I think is better sense 4+
Blinkfeed of sense 5 is useless. It's usable in sense 5.5 only, because there you can finally customize the sources to be displayed.
So if the only or main reason to switch to sense 5 is just blinkfeed then there's no reason, because you won't use it much.
I wish that sense 5.5 porting would be feasible
I may have misunderstood the OP but all of these are in Sense 5.

You do realize that sharing that here isn't allowed, right? ._.
And even that KangSense has a few bugs.. I think it's like Team Venoms old build, which another developer 'stole' and fixed a little.
I'm gonna wait for Team Venom's official.

You can share anything as long as it is not warez. At the end of the day until someone has PROOF it is team venom rom then it's allowed to be shared
I only shared so people can flash to get a taste of sense 5 that's all.

That ROM is not allowed to be posted here as it is a kang of Team Venom ROM and kanging us not tolerated here.
Posting a link to it again will cause me to take things further next time.
Please be sure this is the last time it happens.
