I have a small problem with 'HTC Sense' in my stock ROM, when the phone rings and I try to pull it from my pocket, I always found that whether I mistakenly answered or cancelled. This is due to the slide up to cancel or slide down to answer in 'Sense'. Is there anyway to avoid this? or is there any application to allow me have the slide right or left (like the original Android one)? or can I disable 'Sense'?
Thanks in advance for your help

you can try a custom ROM with sense 3.0 ,3.5 or you can try cm7,miui
the lockscreens on these ROMs should prevent this from happening
An alternative that doesn't involve rooting, would be to use a different launcher. This would be the "disable sense" approach.
I recommend Launcher Pro. It has stacks of options, its smooth, and can be skinned/theme like sense.
You'll loose the HTC Widgets, but there are third party alternatives for all of them on the market. Launcher pro also has some Widgets if you buy the full version.

that's a big inconvenience. One of the prime reasons I rooted. You can try one of the sense ROM Ports.

You will have to use an alternative lock application to prevent this. I use go launcher but still get the sense lockscreen. Use widget locker or any other lock application to prevent getting the sense lockscreen.

First, I must preface this by apologizing about this post not being in a more relevant forum topic. I am barred from posting in the dev section until I reach 8 posts. I also have checked relevant links and tried searching about this, but if I failed at my searches, again I apologize.
So I flashed the Revolution 4g rom and really like it. The only thing I would like to change about it is the launcher/ADW (not sure what to call the bar with the phone button and such) to that of the no-sense rom. However, I would like to keep all the HTC sense widgets and apps. Is there a way to replace that feature using the rom cleaner found on that post? Is there a different solution to this problem?
Have you tried Launcher Pro? DL/install it and see if it does what you're wanting. If it doesn't, no harm no foul, just uninstall.

I just did, and it doesn't accomplish what I would like it to do. I'm looking for something that will replace the default launcher on the HTC home. This gives me an option and after choosing the launcherpro, I'm left without the widget from the HTC sense. Thank you for the suggestion and quick reply, though.

You mean they're gone, or they weren't where they were with the old launcher? You'll have to re-setup all your screens with the new launcher, but I thin sense widgets should still work.
What I meant was the HTC widgets aren't gone, I just can't choose them with launcherpro and I can't afford to pay for the plus version to unlock the launcherpro widgets.

a homeless person could afford that...
go sit at a stop sign with a coffee can for 30 mins and you will get $3....
Anyone else keep getting sense restarting after coming out of an app?
Nope... Not got any other launchers installed have you?
I'm sure this question gets asked daily. It's because the sensation doesn't have that much memory, and sense 3.0 is hogging too much of it. A change of launcher bypasses the issue.

strange, my device always has 150+mb free when idle, and 200mb+ when i clean my prog-list,
do you actualy close any programs, or only just use the home-icon.
only a different launcher would not change much, sense will still be present.
No, it's the sense launcher itself that causes the issues, and it's that which keeps restarting, hence seeing the HTC screen while it starts up again. Using a different launcher bypasses the issue entirely, though you do lose the ability to use sense widgets. You still use the sense keyboard and can use HTC's apps though.
I never use the home icon as I don't like leaving apps running, I always quit out of them properly if I can help it. Sense takes up too much of the phone's memory, so when you try to change or exit tasks it runs out of memory and can't do it, hence sense stops and restarts from scratch. Seems to happen more the more apps you have on the phone.
Are you rooted?

I am now, but it was doing it beforehand too. Hence why I use a different launcher.
I have noticed that on my Sensation the Sense interface restarts every time I close the market using the "Back" key after installing or upgrading one or more apps.
It does not happen if I go back home using the "Home" button...Can anyone else confirm this trend?

I used to have the same problem on stock ROM not-rooted so I rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM. This solved my problem and i have no more random reboots.

Edit: spoke too soon.... Stopped happening with browser and home key. But still happening with market place and back button.
If u have root u can try the market app ram manager it balances ram for everyday. Use and the paid version can free ram for multitasking And gaming

You can add HOME_APP_ADJ=1 to the build.prop file, and that will prevent Rosie (the launcher) from being killed/restarted by the memory manager.

Hi, I want ask if is possible in pre rooted sense rom change sense launcher for Go Launcher Ex. I don't like sense native launcher.
If I install on sense rom GoLauncherEx.... native sense launcher run on background.... It's possible replace native sense launcher with Go Launcher Ex?
Sry for my english...
If you don't want any part of the sense experience, why use a sense ROM? It would just be running in the background using resources.
Sorry if I misunderstand you.

Why not use aosp or aokp? There are no sense launchers running in background
Sent by my fingers to your head.
You guys obviously know, that sense is not only the launcher, but also quite a few other tricks and tweaks across the system? I would have to double check, but while You cannot get rid of sense completely, launcher doesn't seem to stay in memory when other is chosen as default action for home button etc.

Yeah i've seen a lot of people add a custom launcher to sense for a lot of reasons. Sense adds a lot of functionality to the ROM and some can't live without the widgets. There may be reasons. But anyway, a custom launcher doesn't require root but i suppose it's good you have it. Just get one from the market and it should work.
However, i don't think it's possible to replace the sense launcher. Sense seems to take a huge impact if you remove a part of it. That is one problem.
EDIT: I've just seen that you can disable the sense launcher by getting an app called SystemApp Remover. The app does cost though but should stop sense launcher from running without removing it. The app you want to disable is Rosie.apk. Make a backup incase and make sure the 3rd party launcher is installed before you do this!!
I suppose Titanium Backup could do the same by freezing the Rosie.apk but you would still have to pay for the pro version.
Once again i'd like to say if you try this, make sure you have a backup and also you install the 3rd party launcher before you freeze it!

Hmm.... maybe I try this.... when will be finished first Sense 4 ROM.... Thanks for response
hmm was thinking about the same thing and exploring the inside of the rom.
is it possible to (1)remove any launcher/app.apk and (2)add in any apps of your own, in system/app ? or it is more complicated than that?
Actually there is a Sense-less WipeOut ROM, the ROM is still based on Sense, but uses ICS-based launcher (can't rmbr whether it is Nova/Apex/trebuchet)..
maybe OP can try that? But mind you that ROM is Sense 4.0A based, so some functions may not be working properly yet (touch to focus camera, WiFi hotspot, etc) but it is stable enough as daily driver..
I hope this is what OP means..
i use apex launcher and have rosie.apk frozen by titanium backup. you can also delete it with root explorer if you want. mind that display personalise settings aren't working any more without rosie or with rosie frozen, so you have to set all those things before you ger rid of it.
well I have tried every launcher on the Android market and found non to my taste..... I like the Sense that comes stock on the Inspire 4g, "BUT" as I was playing around with the Launcher Pro, I really like the "Dock," "Dock background" and the "Transition Effect" the visual effect used when switching between home screens. Is there anyway I can get those just mentioned on to my HTC Sense 2.1? the only reason I don't like Launcher pro is because it does not have alot of widgets like HTC Sense does, any help????? thanks in Advance.

call up HTC. Other than that, you cant get a personalized launcher to that specifics unless you make one yourself. And with sense 4.0 working its way out, you wont see as much development for older sense versions. and each launcher can have tons of widgets, just the main ones dont come with a lot of built in. go and download whatever widgets you want and you can experience the same as sense.
Thank you for your response, but I have finally customized Launcher pro for my needs by keeping it down to 3 screens and utilizing those app and widgets that I use on a daily basis, works out very well.

If you want widgets like sense then try Android Pro widgets. Not free but do a great job of replacing the sense widgets.
If you want a dock and the actual sense widgets then here's a link to the htc one ics/sense 4 rom

Hi Everyone,
My wife owns a HTC Desire HD (non-rooted, standard ROM, etc - much to my disgust!), and on it she is running Ginger Bread (Android 2.3). I notice when she pulls the "curtain" down that her recently opened Apps are stored at the top. This is a very handy feature, as when she closes an App she simply goes back to the curtain and starts from where she left off.
I on the other hand own a HTC Sensation, with Elegancia Sense 4 ROM installed (as per my signature below), and the only icon that I see at the top of my curtain is the settings button. I would really like to see recently used Apps in my curtain, as currently I need to go to the Apps menu, and then click on the App that way, or alternatively find the App on one of my "Desktops" and then click on it there. A simple slide and touch is better than constant tapping in my opinion.
If anybody knows how to add recently used Apps to the curtain whilst using Elegancia can you please let me know how?
Kind Regards,
Davo
Well I don't use elgancia but the reason you don't see that recent apps its because its set that way as default I assume. I don't know if that tom includes 'tweaks' but you can change that feature there

Do you specifically want this exact method of accessing recent apps?
There's a more convenient way too.
Long press the home button.
If you specifically want the apps to appear in the notifications pull down menu, I doubt you can. There probably aren't any tweaks that do it either.
The recent apps was a feature in Sense 3.x , so if it's really that important to you, flash a Sense 3.x ROM

Aye, long press of the home button will do the trick.
You should then be able to swipe the apps that appear to the right to rid of them if you want.
