[Q] : Launcher and lockscreen rotation mod? - HTC Sensation

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.

Replacing the personalize button?

I was wondering with all these nice themes, is it impossible to replace the personalize button with something more useful? I feel like messages should be there or something...
Yeah I feel the same way.

Same here, maybe browser-messages-or market would be useful

??? The question was remapping a Sense button, not replacing the whole launcher lol. Not everyone (Me included) likes launcherpro and/or the others.

Launcher Pro let's you CHOOSE which button to remap. I used it before on my HTC DHD and remapped my personalize button into several different apps/system functions.

Developers prefer to keep their roms as stock as possible to decrease chances for any problem. Also, just like how some like to remap buttons, some people don't want to as well.
That's why some devs just make it a flashable package or recommend which mod/app for those that want to do it.

This, on the sense roms for my HD2, there used to be an app that let you customize it, with simple modifications I bet we can get it working on sense 3.0
Now just to remember the name...

Launcher Pro is far from Sense 3.0.
I'm sure 99% of people in this forum are well aware you can replace the launcher, but his question is specifically for modifying a component of HTC Sense - remapping the Personalize soft key to browser/messaging/etc.
As far as I know, there is no personalize soft key on LP either, unless you're talking about using a Sense theme with LP..? :-/
This has been done on previous versions of Sense and i'm sure someone could get it working with 3.0 too if they wanted.
I know this was done on the MT4G, I'll attempt to find that thread for reference.

I wonder if this mod would work on the Revolution HD rom, since that rom uses Sense 2.1 instead of 3.0? Hmmm..

I've tried many launchers including launcher pro but it doesn't support qhd wallpapers so its a big turn off for me, and I'm actually taking a liking to 3.0

[q]live wallpaper scrolling -- vu rom

hello, Im currently using virtous unity rom, and the live wallpaper scrolling doesn't seem to work.
Anyone else having this problem? And how do I fix it?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
i don't think i've seen that option on sense roms. a lot of the launchers in aosp roms have it though. i remember that the streak live wallpaper moved around when you scrolled through the screens.
If your talking about what I think you are, the feature was disabled on the sense 3.0 due to the carousel animation/ layout.
No big loss anyway.

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

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)

[REQUEST] Change Grid Size in Sense (JB ROM)

I have searched around without success on changing the grid size for the HTC Sense UI. Is this possible to add as a mod, or is there a way already that someone knows how to do this? I like Sense, so I don't want to use a launcher (i.e. Apex, Nova, etc.), just want to change the grid size to 5 rows x 4 columns. Thanks for any help.

Sadly, but no.. there's major milestones on moving lockrings and lockscreen clock on sense, so I'd imagine its not far fetched

Ok, thanks. I will just stick with 4x4 for now then.
I changed it in viper 3.0.0 JB Rom by flashing the 4x5 Rosie mod for viper ICS roms. It isn't designed for JB but it did work and I was running stable.

Yeah, I know the custom ROMs have the capability of modifying the grid size (I had CM10 and could do it), I was just hoping there was a way to do with on JB with Sense 4+.

This is the mod someone else referenced. It worked for me to change it to 4x5 on RebelROM AOSP-style Sense. The 4x4 widgets won't be centered though.

I gave it a try but it didn't seem to work with my JB ROM using Sense 4+. Thanks though. I will keep a look out for an update.
I know...the 4x4 rid size on the homescreen is kinda ridiculous considering the phones resolution/screen size.

You would think they would catch on already and build in the option!
And the 4x5 Rosie mod did not work on newts Rom. Sense just kept crashing before it could even load.

That is the same problem I was having. Kept saying HTC Sense has stopped working. And I agree that Sense should have this as an option to change, because the 4x4 grid just looks too spaced out.
I agree. I wonder how hard it would be to modify the ICS 4x5 mod to work with JB. I'll poke at it later, but don't hold your breath for anything. I don't really know what I'm doing, and if it was easy it would be in all the custom JB Sense+ ROMs already.

At least on ICS the mod was rather straightforward. You had to decompile Rosie.apk edit a few m10 and settings files then recompile the apk. Search through my post history, I posted a mod and a link to the tut a while back but then Turge incorporated it into Viper so I stopped working on it.
