to all you Sense UI haters...

HTC evo can run (out of the box) stock android w/ nexus launcher and all.
http://htcdev.net/topic/11584-sprint-evo-4g-working-without-sense-ui/
I don't know if this has been posted before, since I'm in a rush to prom I havent been able to check. anyways, htc has done another thing right. yay! haha

1. There is already a topic about this.
2. There is NO WAY to run the phone without Sense UI without installing a custom ROM. Sense UI is highly integrated into the OS. The video that you see is the EVO running launcher2.apk instead of Rosie.apk (the Sense home app). This is nothing new or exciting, so I wish people would stop making damn topics about it.

Hey man, you gotta understand i didnt search and couldnt search. Also, i know you cant completely replace sense ui on a stock rom but some people like the launcher2.apk better. So sorry for double posting bud

I always used to hate sense, but then after looking very close at this phone, I have to admit i love it now! Just getting more and more psyched for this phone every time i see it. I think if everyone took their time to look in to sense ui, they would end up liking it a lot like myself.

For many this is true. For others, I suspect there are multiple motivations for wanting a pure android. I suspect most fall into one or more of 3 categories.
They may want pure as the driven snow Open Source Android
They might want as few of what they don't need as possible for increased resources
They simply don't like the HTC and it's prettiness
To each his own. As long as you're on Android, we are on the same side. Viva La Evo! Viva Android! Death to Apple!

I like Android Sense. Makes the transition from WM6.5 Sense a lot smother for me

I dont think anyone would deny that fact that Sense looks amazing. I just want to shut it off to save my battery. From what i hear, sense is quite the juice hog.

You won't save much battery if you turn Sense off. Unless you just have pages full of self updating widgets or something.

love the 2.1 UI.im GOING for that instead of the SENSE

Yeah... I'm looking forward to a stock froyo EVO as soon as possible... best of luck to those with the skill to make it happen

Or at least sense with the stock 2.2 launcher. I actually like the default contacts and messaging apps for sense. Not to mention the clock is way better too, and camera has tap to focus. One thing AOSP has for me though is the look, the white and orange are very appeasing for some reason.

im jus hopeing HTC keeps their promise of updating the SUPERSONIC in july to FROYO 2.2(love the UI).gonna love the phone even more.

I don't think they promised anything at any date, other than that most handsets made after 2010 will get 2.2... no specific dates were set..maybe i am wrong and please link me if i am..

hhmm, goofy quote, I'll say that.
HTC Sense is "attractive", but not for everyone.
The first time I played with Sense was on a Hero ROM on my G1. Then again with the Desire ROM on my Nexus.
Even with the Nexus speed increase, it was definitely NOT sexy.
I really like the Plain Jane look of Android™ raw.

Sense is the main reason i switched from iPhone to Android

Sense with amazing sense skin =]

I used to like sense. Then i tried Cyanogenmod 6 and never went back until i was forced to with the sensation.
Sense is slow and ugly. I prefer minimalistic.

I'd keep Sense launcher if it let me change basic things, like screens number, or dock shortcuts, or add a gesture or two — anything!
But it's all "pre-tuned" in rock for casual users' bliss, and I don't consider myself one. So I'm on LP, and the moment Pyramid has AOSP I'll lose sight of all these idiotically glossy bars and icons completely.

Sofar i have stayed with Sense.
Seems alot of work to get NoSense to work. But maybe when i have sometime over i would take a more closer look into it.
But i like the clock from Sense where i can get into the timer and alarm easy.

htc sensation cant live with no sense,,,,,,,,

ADW EX - much faster, more configurable. Sense is fluff to me, too much overhead, too restrictive, too much useless animation. Just my perspective.

Both are cool IMHO, but Sense looks a little too kitch for me, alternatives launcher like ADW is better for me .

I'm using the rooted stock ROM and stripped the hell out of it. Removed/replaced everything I could.
I don't even have the Rosie or Sense Lockscreen anymore, it's completely gone!

I know...its the sense-ation but I prefer vanilla Android.
It is a beautiful overlay, but such a resource hog.

I think this is an example of how US carriers trash the phones.
Sense on my UK O2 isn't a resource hog at all, and is fast and smooth.

Unless you flashed one of the unstable AOSP ROMs, you've never used a ROM without Sense on your Pyramid.

Not sure TMO US actually trashed the Sensation. There are some apps added and some removed, but without some acutal evidence it's not clear they modified Sense itself. Sense runs fine on my phone, but I have no use for fancy widgets, animation, or 7 home screens. Supporting all the useless graphics does use more resource than necessary, so in that sense it's a resource hog regardless of how smooth it is. With ADW I can set the phone up just the way I want. It's a shame HTC doesn't allow that level of customization.

I absolutely love sense. I will only lose it for miui. When that happens

I use fancy animations, widgets and have seven full homescreens and I am on tmobile. Sense is smooth and zippy and I experience no lag or stutters.
Resource hog.... Wake me up when there's something I want to do on my phone but can't. Until then the resource hog statement has little value. Just like qudrant benchmarks for judging "performance"
Now people out there may have a situation where they are unable to do something with their phone, and if they removed sense and setup the exact same situation they'd be able to do it. Not hypotheticals. Actual instances tested and verified on both sense and nosense. But that's not what you usually read on the board.

I don't really care what it features. If it's a resource hog like 3.0 and 3.5 is. I will not be using it.
Sense is like a fat chick on a tricycle. It does alot of work to get not very far.

I disagree. I go a full day of usage with sense and im ok. Sense makes the phone way better with all its eye candy and simplicity. AOSP roms are awesome but dull. I've had all sorts of vanilla roms and they bore me. Nothings beats the unlock screen of sense 3.0.
As far as sense 4.0? Idk, change in looks? And definitely change so it can mingle with ICS.

You guys are not listening to me/reading my text. I posted nothing about sense absorbing battery. I posted that it's a resource hog. Did i say it was ugly? nope. did i say it wasn't eye candy? nope.
I posted that i was a resource hog.
I can run AOSP, use Launcher Pro with the calendar, messages, and social widgets. Then change the launcher background to a Sense style and get the same "home screen" look at sense with a fraction of the resources used.
And unused RAM is RAM that can be used by other programs.

What "resources" are you referring to? Nothing more than RAM? I usually have about 130 mb of free ram on sense and can't tell a difference between that and a cm7 rom with 300 free mb. And what's so bad about the use of "resources" if you can still get great battery life and run a smooth rom?

Yeah if I do a lot of multitasking I'll usually kill some apps using the built in task manager. But my whole point is, if I can't tell a difference between the speed and fluidity of the two in normal daily use, then why's it make a difference?

What amount? It's FREE memory. The memory that doesn't get used, because the system kills the "aged" apps way before they reach anywhere close to memory boundaries. No multitasking will bring you to the boundaries of memory with that much free RAM, even if you keep 5 games open simultaneously (and they usually save state and drop from memory anyway, if they're programmed well).

We're listening.
Resource hog? Resources are there to be used, that's the whole point of having CPU- and graphically-strong phone with 768MB RAM and 400MB of system partition size. If I wanted to run AOSP, I'd stick with Nexus One, it was plenty enough for that.
The points were discussed MULTIPLE times:
AOSP dialer sucks badly, and no replacement out of the box is good enough and preserves full functionality under Gingerbread (clearing missed calls requires converting dialer to system app, and not all dialers support it). Dialer One lags badly with contact pics. Go Dialer EX has other bugs.
AOSP Email sucks just as bad. No moving mail between folders?
AOSP camera sucks big time.
AOSP lack of power controls in the notification bar sucks.
AOSP system interface is way uglier. Especially Gingerbread notification bar icons.
AOSP calendar sucks in its UI.
And you can't get those with any additions to the stock, because the additions mostly lack functionality and aren't well-integrated together.
Actually, I'm pretty satisfied with Sense 3. I'd like Sense to have better multilanguage support, though. And a customizable button or 2 in the dock bar. And some way to quickly pick a number for a contact with multiple numbers in dialer.

Totally agree with everything you said. I always felt like AOSP would never be enough to make my friends with iPhones jealous just because of its dull appearance. I feel like Sense can do that though.
Also, what do you think about ICS in regards to all that criteria? From some of the stuff I've seen, vanilla ICS looks pretty impressive and I feel like it corrects a lot of the things I didn't like about stock GB and previous versions.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

I didn't check the ICS too thoroughly, and in the official presentation not even one of the points I was looking for were mentioned. I'll probably grab the SDK update and take a look at the emulator some time, but I'm not in a hurry I'm most interested in functional points like dialer, email and camera, and for checking those I'll need to work on that emulator a bit - which is why I'm lazy to do it.

+1 on Sense superiority. I've gone back and forth many times between AOSP and Sense, and while there are things I LOVE about AOSP/cm7, overall the experience packs less of an impact, as you guys said. When running Sense (now Sense 3.5), it just feels like I have higher quality software on my phone. And as I still get solid performance and battery life, it's worth the extra usage of resources.

Those concerned about resources should know that android operates just as fast with 300 MB of free ram as it does with 1 mb. It will use what it needs and has no iimpact on how much iis left over.

Sense - How well can I 'hide' it?

Very tempted to get a HTC Ville when it comes out. Problem is it will run Sense 4.0 on top of ICS. Always have run vanilla. Played around with Sense enough to know I hate it, but never actually owned a Sense device so my knowledge of it is limited.
Question is, how well can I 'hide' it without rooting, since that won't be an option right away? I know I can do a lot by choosing alternates for the launcher, email, sms and contacts apps etc. but can I make Sense effectively unnoticable? Or does it permeate everything too deeply? And will Sense still be lurking around hogging system resources?
Sent from HTC G2

Yes you can make sense unnoticable to the eyes by using alternative launchers and widgets. But, the overlay will still be there sucking up resources and battery life.

That's wrong you can get something like absolute system control for root and deinstall sense that's what I did with touchwizz. There'll also be Rom's without sense.

But I won't be able to root until the Ville is cracked and reliable, daily-use ready vanilla ROMs are developed. I'm trying to figure out what I can do to trash Sense until then, without root.

No buddy, it was not wrong. Read the OP. He said without rooting. And with absolute system all you can do is uninstall widgets. Sense is still there. The only true way to get rid of it is root and flash an aosp ROM....not deleting some widgets.

Better battery life? Maybe - Assuming that you lose those weather widgets and twitter/facebook etc, that should help! Depends what you want gone though
As for removing sense, it's possible. Take a look around, there is tons of information with details on how to remove sense. It's even made easy for members such as yourself. You just flash and bam, sense gone!

Still not understand why people buy a Sensation where the Sense interface is an USP and then want to remove Sense......
It is the world upside down.
When you buy a car with an extra package of luxury, after delivery you also take it out and throw it away?
It is simple: before you buy decide you want Sense or not. According to your choice buy a phone with Sense or a brand which hasn't.
No offense by the way

yeah your right other people buy samsung and the want sense on it why they don't they buy htc from the first place i don't get it )

You can take me as an example. I hate the looks of GSII, AMOLED screen doesn't look "right" to me, so I chose Sensation. Sense isn't useful (to me) so I removed most of it (lockscreen is just right for me).

Because when I was ready to get a new phone, the only dual core phones available for my carrier were the LG G2X and Sensation. No SGS2 in the US at the time, so hey, I have a Sensation.
I did like Sense at first, but it gets old after a while. No problem. It's easy to remove the widgets and launcher, and since I'm not an AOSP purist, I don't mind using the Sense apps like mail, camera, etc.

I like Sense widgets and apps, they provide great functionality and look nice. What I hate about sense is the launcher and useless 3D effects when switching from desktops or unlocking the phone

What is the main difference between using the no sense script and freezing sense launcher? The. Launcher seems to use all my ram and slow my phone down. No sense leaves me with a much faster phone but no working Lockscreen. Freezing sense desktop leaves me with a much faster phone and a working Lockscreen with caller I'd and answer/reject, incoming txt etc and 200 free on the ram. What does no sense script do other than remove sense desktop and Lockscreen?

Guys no need to flame here. The whole post was not an arguement of what we buy. I bought Sensation because i wanted to. Now i got bored of Sense thats it. I support HTC and not Samsung. I also support BMW not Mercedes. Thank you.

The no-sense script that i mentioned and using, does not remove the lock screen. it keeps all the parts of the sense essential for super smooth operation of the phone& i get around 220-250 free ram available. With launcher pro plus my phone flies

yeah Sense is a battery whore are you using the stock battery or an aftermarket battery? when I first traded to get the Senny, battery life was horrible with the stock battery. bought an Anker and got an extra 3-5 hours. changing kernels and radios will also help with battery life as well, but youll have to be rooted to do all that. Gotta be rooted to remove Sense as well. But if you remove it, you wont be able to use any of the HTC widgets and the Sense launcher(rosie) will be gone (install a different launcher first before removing Sense)
