HTC sense home replacement launcher

Is there a apk for the HTC sense home launcher
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Not that I know of, if you're using a build that doesn't come with it, then you don't have the frameworks. Those are needed for it to work. I'm pretty sure thats why everybody (including myself) has been purchasing Launcher Pro Plus and using those sense-like widgets, coupled with the ability to change the dock background. Theres a bunch of good backgrounds that make it look like The sense launcher. Theres a zip on the cm6 sense theme thread last page that has a ton of them. Rosie, Espresso/Expresso. Pretty much everything you could want. Sorry if this doesn't help.

Thank you for your help I will try the cm6 sense theme

[Q] Background Sense 3.0

I use Flikie HD Wallpapers, it's a very nice program for HD backgrounds and almost all background have the function to scroll to the left or right.
Now i know this is not possible in Sense 3.0 because the sliding never stops. So every background with that slide function don't know when to stop the picture so it just shows the middle.
Is it possible to change this, with example the Fre3vo temp-root ? Or do we need to wait at a ROM builder or Fre3dom ?
Thx!

Nobody knows anything about it ?

Nope, you can't do that. Only possible with another launcher.

The Sensation has an HTC Live Wallpaper called "Streak" that has somekind of infinite movement (rotation) when going from screen to screen. I geuss someone should find a way to make something similar!

Try a different launcher. I am using GoLauncher Ex and it works quite well. I think it looks better than the Sense launcher as well.

Will the phone become slower when you use GoLauncher, i want to use it only i think it is a bit double, the heavy Sense 3.0 and the GoLauncher. I am definitily waiting for the perm root so that our great cookers can make a stripped ROM without Sense 3.0 I think were almost there!

Nope, the phone is more responsive when using another launcher. Try it

Definitely try any other launcher. You won't be disappointed at all. I personally flip around between Launcher PRO Plus, Go Launcher, and Launcher7.
For the time being at least, anything other than Sense that you use will allow your Sen4G to pep up quite a bit. But who knows what'll happen when we get a new FOTA to fix some of our standing issues.

re: wallpaper
- Just wondering why would you like the wallpaper to move like in the sense 2.1?

I personally liked it this way, it looked great while flipping through the sense interface.

adding new launcher kills Sense, just an FYI

Well Sense is not available while you are using a different launcher. It's not really dead.

Go launcher kills sense. Using it right now its above and beyond speed wise and the go widgets are fantastic.

I think we misunderstood (maybe just me?) your original statement that any other launcher "kills sense" in that, at least for me, I thought you meant any other launcher would bring Sense to its knees......meaning Sense was speedier than all the other launchers.
Turns out you were saying what we were albeit from a completely different direction.
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding yet again.....it has in fact been a long day for me.

Sense widgets in other launchers

I'm completely new to Sense (upgraded from a mt3g and avoided any roms that included anything related to Sense since it would've killed me on ~600MHz or so). I really like my Sensation with ADW Ex and was wondering, short of custom roms is there any way to use Sense widgets in ADW?
Sorry for the newb question, I tried to figure it out using Google but only came across links talking about "Sense-like" replacements. I'm curious if there's any way to extract the actual Sense widgets and reuse them.
Peace,

I think LauncherPro Plus has widgets that are similar to Sense widgets, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, I'll give LauncherPro a spin.. but I've seen a lot of "similar-to" replacements already that don't quite cut it; are the actual HTC widgets baked into Sense with no way to use them outside of their launcher?

I doubt that there is a way to access the Sense widgets from any launcher other than Sense?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

There is NO way of using Sense widgets outside of Sense - it's been covered a million times before

You can find a million replacement widgets and use them on a better launcher like ADW EX. Which ones are you looking to use?

Try Colorize Widget.

Horrible advice is horrible.

ADW is **** anyway, every other launcher I've used has a slight lag switching screens. I'll be sticking with Sense

not so horrible.. just fact... he mentioned that he was used to stock android and started using adw.. at some point he got himself use to it and grew to like it.. so why can't he make himself do the same thing with sense....

Just not enough options with sense launcher, for me. Also i experience lag that I don't with go launcher or launcher pro plus, and pro has a sense skin that makes the widgets look like sense if that's what your after. With go launcher I use colorized widgets as posted previously

ADW EX is the most fully-featured and customizable launcher out there. You actually need to learn how to set it up though, so that probably turns a lot of newbs away.

true that may be, but I can't take the non responsiveness the first 5 Secs or so when trying to swipe between pages. Been the same for me, nexus one, mt4g, and now sensation

Never had that problem, personally.

I solved this by getting used to Sense for normal use and chilling with ADW whenever I wanted to appreciate how fast this phone could be... Like the Sense widgets, hate the launcher.

Isn't the point of getting an HTC phone is for sense?

have you try Go Launcher EX?

[Q] Is it possible to have Vanilla? or Sense?

Hi quick question is it possible for these phones to use vanilla or sense roms? and if so would someone be willing to make one Froyo or GB?
because personally I hate T-wiz and I use ADW with every rom so far but I would love to have a vanilla ROM I know Sense is HTC just dont know if these things are even possible

hey! this topic has been addressed a lot of times and other threads discuss this.
basically, its very difficult to port over sense because it is completely different than tw. its not really worth the dev's time in some cases, but there are other options, like themes for launchers that are nice. beautiful widgets is nice for the clock and since you like adw, you can get a theme, or look into go launcher. that is a very flexible launcher.

ok but what about Vanilla? and if this is posted somewhere else i havent seen it sorry about that. I have Fancy Pro with ADW ex (Also have Launcher Pro just dont like it as much so I dont install it) and I am able to make it look stock but would just prefer stock rather than having 2+ launchers

If you don't like the launchers, flash to icbinb. And get the theme. It had a cool launcher that I think you will like. try out zeam launcher as well if you get a chance. It's very minimalistic and works great. You can delete tw completely once you get another launcher.

Yes but make sure you already have another launcher before you do
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

nope, can use adw launcher ex? upgraded one to get few more things. Best thing to do is delete the bloatware you dont want/need to make it as stock as possible.

what do you mean by "nope"?
and you can use any launcher. install one and then delete twlauncher via titanium. look into sweet acid theme, it has a nice launcher

I can't fully answer this question, but if you want a Vanilla FEEL, then yes, it's definitely possible. Just download the Gingerbread launcher from the market. It'll give you a Vanilla feel.

espresso launcher for virtuous unity

is it possible? regular sense launcher sucks.. the phone button takes up 3 spaces and i NEVER use the personalize button.. such a waste..

ummmmm cough cough*
it's the port of the MT4GS, Sense 3.0 with the Espresso launcher.

I'm not sure how you feel about launcher pro, but I found this:

Also, search "espresso theme" on the android market. There is a t-mobile theme engine theme, as well as several options for ADW launcher.
Hopefully you can get the look you are wanting.

not what im looking for but close.. although with those, you cant use the rosie/sense widgets which kills the whole purpose of using a sense ROM lol..
is there any way to change the function of the "personalize" button? i tried bullethacks but it didnt work for me, not sure why

Maybe this?
