Sense widgets for an alternative launcher?

Are there any alternative home launchers that allow you to put sense widgets on it? I absolutely love the sense widgets but I hate the home screen lag.

As with any other HTC device, the answer is a big no
As for lag - what lag? I've got none whatsoever

Download spare parts and set the transition windows and animation windows to fast. Also turn off all animations in settings. Its faster, no lag for me.

Oh man, I see the HTC white screen and the loading screen constantly... You don't have that problem?!

Do you have more than one home app installed?

That will happen when the device gets low on RAM and it has to kill background processes to keep it going. The solution ? Uninstall some of the apps you recently downloaded and don't need AND reduce the amount of unnecessary widgets on the homescreen(s).

I wish this was possible too. No lag here but I hate the stupid 3 button bar wasting space. I tried wave launcher but it looks like crap.

Thanks. It's not that bad. I figured out how to get Power Strip to do it a lot prettier. I already bought it so I'll stick with it.

None of those will run Sense 3 widgets will they? Im pretty sure most people know about all those launchers.

Damn u. Remember helix. That was the best dam. Launcher before others cane out.

Exactly. I searched for that earlier today and in every thread there are people posting other launchers instead of just saying no.

Get Launcher Pro download its Sense Pack.

I had a myTouch 4G before the Sensation that was rooted with a stock Android rom and I had all my widgets loooking identical to sense.
Download Beautiful Widgets (it is $1.99 but WAY worth it if you want cool widgets!) There is a clock called "SuperClock" that comes with the app that looks IDENTICAL to sense, especially when you download the (free) skin called "super sense". It also has the sense-looking toggle widgets etc. All with TONS of skins to choose from. The super clock even has the sense animations if you download the free animations add-on.
And just in case (for the non-readers out there) after downloading the app, you apply the widgets like any other (long-press). Opening the app is just for adjusting settings/skins etc.

Guys, is it possible to install Sense 2.x launcher? I wish I could turn off that stupid 3D effect (and scrolling page by page in app drawer)

[Q] : Launcher and lockscreen rotation mod?

Is there a mod available for stock tmous deodexed Rom that will make the launcher and lockscreen automatically rotate? I would think this would already be around but was unable to locate anything its not even in any custom Roms that I've tried. And no I don't want anouther launcher.

Well think about it. The slide phones have it enabled by default and I would think its cooked into Sense and Rosie some were just not enabled for a handset without a keyboard. Just what I thought who knows figured I would ask.

I would also like TW$ on my sensation. I like to try things and i get bored with the availability there is on htc.

Hey guys. I've downloaded this TW4 Launcher a while ago. I like it but if I remember it doesn't fit quite right so I uninstalled, but it works well other than that. Here the dropbox link as I can't seem to get this uploaded from my browser.

Luckily I had a Vibrant. Open the App Drawer and click edit (or something like that...if no edit then change the sort order and then it'll let you edit)
Once the icons are bouncy and you can move them, that's when you can change the icons. I believe the blue All Apps icons must stay though.

Keep looking I opened up a thread with a proper sized one that works great on the sensation and themes for it work too

install tw4manager, it has themes and Widgets for install just don't install the launcher from there because its not sized right its in the actual creators thread fr4ggor, not all the Widgets work, I been trying to get the accuweather app to see if it works because the weather widget is nice n better then the one that is on the market.

New ROM idea!!!

So I see we have a great line up of roms here for our phones but I have yet to see a combo of CM7 & sense. I mean cm7 had its benefits but so does sense why not make the best of both world? Anyways just trying to introduce a new idea. Also sorry if this is in the Wong section.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

No not it the wrong place. Let me try to answer this. It is kinda impossible because they are 2 totally different frameworks. Everything about them us different all the way down to the kernel. You can't necessarily merge the two. You can run senselike widgets on cm7. And you can take the sense out of sense roms but keep the contacts and what people do like about it. But it would be like combining a reptile with a mammal. They are just way too different all the way down and can't be mashed together.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g using xda premium

Agreed ^
The framework is just too different. SystemUI files are going to cause a conflict if not the framework.

I think everyone have up on this idea back in the Hero days. There's a project called OpenSense, but I don't know anything about it.

What I meant is modding CM7 to have the ring lockscreen and recently open apps etc. maybe even add the launcher

Lockscreen, launcher, and every other element is heavily dependent on the sense framework.
If you change all the frameworks, the rom is no longer CM7 ... its sense

Easy.
Widget Locker has a "Sense 3" Slider what is a exact clone of the Sense 3 lockscreen, complete with all the animations.
As for Launcher, you can try GO Launcher(use Go Weather for the clock as well)

[Q] Transition Effects

Hey guys, simply put i am a noob This is my first post on these forums and i need a little help with my HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile, Rooted) I have searched for a similar thread but i could not find a really helpful answer. I want to change the home screen transition effects on my Sensation and i could not find how to do this. I do not want something like SPB Shell 3D because that changes the whole 'Sense 3.0' experience. I want some different transition effects on my homescreen because the outside cube effect is really boring.I want something without giving up Sense 3.0. I have already tried Anim Mod but that did not really help.
Thanks For helping a noob out guys

I think there is no way you can change the 3D effect and keep the sense launcher.

Is there any way to change the effects on it? Just any general way that is close to keeping the Sense Launcher?
Thanks, elvin18

What is it you like about sense launcher anyway ? What does it have that others don't?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

I just like the overall feel and experience. That might sound dumb but its true. I just really do not like the outside cube effect.

I don't believe there is. The only thing you can change are windows animations and transitions that have nothing to do with sense launcher 3d effect.

Darn, i was really getting tired of the same outside cube transition.

Oh give over, don't have a go. Some people like sense and its UI, I like it but I can also appreciate that some people don't like it but I dont go round having a go at those who prefer an alternative launcher. It's his opinion so let it be and get over it
EDIT: to answer the question, no unfortunately the cube animation cannot be changed without going to alternate launchers. If you use an alternative launcher AFAIK you won't be able to use sense widgets
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium

There is a ROM for the sensation (I'm not sure which one) that if you are using 4ext touch recovery with the yes/no function you can choose to have the 3d effect removed, just a flat slide like in earlier sense. Hope this helps!

I was just wondering, because u still keep a LOT of sense UI if you just change the launcher.... you just loose a couple of widgets which are easily replacable... thats why i dont get it.

Hey Guys, i installed MIUI on Android version 2.3.7 and i tried to install Android Revolution HD and when i flashed PG58IMG.ZIP it said the model number is wrong on the bootloader screen and it won't let me get to recovery (4EXT) so I have to take the memory card out to get to recovery. Also i backed up my data, used SuperWipe, and flashed Android Revolution and restarted, my phone gets stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant Screen and won't boot. So then i took the memory card out an the battery out, and put it back in to get to recovery mode and i went back to MIUI.
What Should I do?
Thanks Guys

Will anybody help with the problem above? ^
Thanks
