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.
sense 4.0..User friendly, animated icons and adaptive to user use...

Strongly disagree. I'm on sense and got 21 hours with a little over two hours of display time. And its as smooth as any cm7 based rom for me. Free ram is wasted ram.

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.

My first Android phone was the Tmobile (US) G2, so I got used to the plain vanilla OS. When I got my Sensation 4G in June I was immediately put off by Sense, which in my opinion is inferior. To get closer to the stock feel I use Launcher Pro and this certainly helps, but I still see Sense running in the applications list. If I kill the process it momentarily gets removed from the list but is there again when I next check. I have read that this could be because Sense also controls the dialer and contacts, so my question is if I replace those functions with a 3rd party application will Sense be gone for good?
Just let sense run in the background. It's not using cpu cycles so it wont affect performance or battery much usage at all. And unless you're reluctant to flashing new rom, try this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204912) out. A new version is supposed to release today which is supposed to be off the hook. And its the closest you can get to stock that I know of so far.

I am not yet at the point where I want to flash a new ROM. So are you sure leaving Sense running isnt going to negatively impact my battery life? I have read other posts stating Sense is a cpu/battery hog.
How can you not like Sense, i'm biased as every android phone i've owned has been an android with HTC Sense so I can't live without it, the Launcher pro looks cheap and too basic, you need Sense to add a bit of flare to your phone!

Just personal preference to be honest. Sense is essentially "eye candy", and I guess I am just more of a utilitarian kind of person.

Yes its definitely personal preference. It would take away the shine of having an android phone if you didn't use it. Android is very basic and the "normal" hope screens are boring compared to HTC Sense. Anyway i'm all for sense .

Sense is a cpu/battery hog while its active. On android however, when apps are put into the background, they become inactive.
Now I'm not a developer so I may be wrong. I based this conclusion off this article which leedroid linked to in his rom: http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
In Android, processes and Applications are two different things. An app can stay "running" in the background without any processes eating up your phone's resources. Android keeps the app in its memory so it launches more quickly and returns to its prior state. When your phone runs out of memory, Android will automatically start killing tasks on its own, starting with ones that you haven't used in awhile.
The problem is that Android uses RAM differently than, say, Windows. On Android, having your RAM nearly full is a good thing. It means that when you relaunch an app you've previously opened, the app launches quickly and returns to its previous state. So while Android actually uses RAM efficiently, most users see that their RAM is full and assume that's what's slowing down their phone. In reality, your CPU—which is only used by apps that are actually active—is almost always the bottleneck.

It's slow, it's bloated, takes battery life and has no 'advanced/configurable' features a la CM7 or LauncherPro.
Sense is much much more than the launcher. It's the whole ecosystem on a HTC Android phone. Hopefully when Ice Cream Sandwich hits Google will stop manufacturers putting their own launchers on top of Android, or at least make it an option. I don't mind a few widgets (flip clock) but Sense has gone too far.
Roll on CM7 and MIUI!

I like using LauncherPro in place of Sense because you can add all the eye candy you want (even Sense looking eye-candy) without having to include the whole battery wasting, memory hogging, and gigantic Sense Eco-system.
Based on what appears to be confirmation that Sense is a memory/cpu/battery hog, will running an alternate launcher be sufficient to prevent this or do I need to somehow fully disable it?
Just use your launcher pro. Don't worry about sense, she won't bother you anymore.

Yeah, I had that problem too. I bought my phone yesterday and was up till dawn messing around with it. Launcher pro seems extremely laggy, so much so that sense was a welcome change. LP worked better on my magic!

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.

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 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.
What you usually read on the board are many many parrots with a few owls.

So here's the deal. I just bought one, and I'm looking forward to developing for it.
A few questions first:
1. What kinds of roms do you like? and Why. I want to please my user base, as well as pick it.
2. What features are you missing from Sense, MIUI, AOSP, or whatever else the kids are using these days? (this includes things you see on other devices and wish you had on sensation, or things you think of yourselves)
3. What kinds of roms do you think have ABSOLUTELY no point; For example, I think a re-post of CM with a new kernel and a theme built-in is ridiculous... What do you think?
4. What do you prefer about a rom you flash on sensation? if you had to choose between battery and performance, which? if you had to choose between pretty theme/heavy apps or bare-bones cleanliness, which? This kind of relates to q1...
Before I start repeating myself, I'd just like to say that sensation has a bunch of amazing devs going for it, and has a unique look and a terrific user base, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.
Please leave intelligent responses, to help make your device better!

Ok I will be the first hear. I have only had my Sensation since September 1st so I have not yet flashed a custom ROM to it. I am kind of giving the stock ROM a good trial run first.
I think since so many people, including me, are reporting touch screen issues, especially with pulling the ring up to unlock the device. You should really consider implumenting something that gives you a choice if you want to use the lock screen or not. Maybe a widget or a added choice in the settings to disable the lock screen. Or maybe even a G-Sensor operated lock screen, you know shake the device to unlock it.
I personally like the dialer UI of HTC Sense 3.0 and the text messaging in sense. I do not like the fact that you can not do what I call free scroll through your apps in the app tray. You have to scroll inn predefined blocks of 20 apps at a time. I personally like a bear bones ROM with a lot of downloadable add ons that you can install if you want. That way you can truly customize your device to suit you and you needs and likes.
I also think you should add a percentage meter that can be put in the status bar at the top cause the stock ROM does not have that option. I really like being able to see my battery percentage not just a battery with a green bar.
Also I miss the CyanogenMod settings in settings that I used in the Hyperdroid-CM7-v2.1.0 -HeadyHoneybadger ROM on my HD2.
I really am not to fond of the bottom launcher bar in the stock ROM either. I like the small launcher like the one in the above mentioned ROM so anything like that would be great.
A better music player than the default Android music player would be a plus also.
Last thing I can think of is something that will turn your WiFi off when you leave the WiFi area, say your home WiFi. And maybe even turns it on when you get back in range of your home WiFi network.
If I think of anything else I will post it here in this thread. Hope you get some more responses.
Edit: I forgot to mention, I prefer performance over battery. But not to the point that the battery will not last at least 8 hours
I'd choose a ROM that keeps Sense 3.0, intelligently overclocks the CPU to maximise performance when the phone is awake and being used, and underclocks it when the phone is asleep to maximise battery life. Another biggie for me would be a camera apk that reduces the compression and noise reduction that the stock Sense camera apk uses which cause Sensation photos and videos to lose sharpness. And I'd like Beats from the Sensation SE included too.

To OP. Welcome to Pyramid forums.
It's very tough competition here mate, so good luck to you (no sarcasm).
To make ROM successful you'd have to make it unique or a lot better than others ( very, very hard to achieve) or both together.
Coming from the Mytouch 4g my favorite Roms were the Aosp Roms they are so light and quick with amazing battery. I would love one similar to fuax's aosp rom from the mytouch 4g. Also I'm a fan of better battery since I use my phone for music and internet all day!

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!
Mike already makes a de sensed version.... download it

Buy a SG2 or a S-Note.
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).
If u don't like sense then why u bought sensation?

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
I bought an HTC because it was in my price range and I liked it's ratings. However, I am having horrible battery life and whenever I look to see what is using the battery HTC Sense is always the number one drainer by a LOT so I am wondering if my battery life will improve by removing it? Can it be removed? What will the consequences to removing it be? Thanks in advance.

S-off using ganeshp's guide. Then just flash nosense or an AOSP ROM with an unsecured kernel to get better battery life by using badass governor.

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)
hi. Do you prefer Sense or AOKP. Is none Sense "better" in memory/resource handjing? What is your opinion?

Because I have got HTC so I prefer Sense, otherwise there are a lot of options for Non-Sense phone manufacturer.
Personally apart from the camera I like everything about AOSP ROM's both AOKP and CM10
Of course AOSP ROM's are faster than Sense

I absolutely don't understand anything of the popularity of sense launcher. It is nothing special, there's almost nothing u can customise, not even the amount of screens. Lots of beter launchers to find.

i like sense but i don't use sense launcher. it's about other stuff (dialer, camera, menues...)
Originally I bought a HTC phone purely for sense, now I prefer aosp/aokp
Personally I prefer Sense, and even more its final version, Sense 4. I prefer it over other launchers like Touchwiz (to me it seems made for children compared to Sense).
Well, I'm a fan of both. Sense overs a lot of polish over Android, and great widgets too. Now, since JB, I prefer AOKP, since it's already so polished. The widgets can be replaced with APW/HD Widgets too. Although, I'm using Andromadus till AOKP from source comes up
For now sense. AOKP AOSP CM9 CM10 is not my priority as my daily driver.
AOSP all the way for me
My 1st mobile was htc hero - 1st phone with HTC sense. I lovded it and I couldn't understand how can u like more aosp or cm roms. Yeah I agree they are faster but they look ugly. I had ZTE blade with cm, then Motorola atrix with cm aswell and eventually I have sold atrix and bought desire s and that was the best thing I have done.

Personally I like sense. It's just so pretty.
The widgets are great and all the /little things really make it.
sent from the hip via tapatalk2
and the integration of facebook contacts and calendars into system contacts and calendars!!!
Definitely HTC sense ! Bunch of widgets packed, nice and polished UI.
But I have to say - I like AOSP lockscreen much more.

used to really like sense on HTC Hero, but went AOSP asap and haven't looked back. My GF also has a DS, stock and its so slow compared to the ROMS I use, but she hasn't done the stock ICS update yet...
sense's overall integration of apps, FB, contacts etc is very well done tho
one little thing that gets me on sense is in SMS, delivery reports are not integrated in SMS app, always get a separate message to confirm, really silly and annoying, lol...

really??? i'm on sense now but i use to be on CM in the hero times and the sms delivery reports was integreted into default SMS app for sure. maybe you didn't checked the settings well enough? i doubt that they would make it worse...

100% sure. You get a little icon in the message itself, but also in the notification area. Sure you can disable notification sounds, but its treated as a SMS so unless all SMS sounds are set to silent, no bar notification and no vibrate, its like getting another SMS! Weird
What is odd, on a friends sensation with same 3.6 rom we now have, he only gets confirmation in SMS app
I loved Sense, mainly because the desire S was my first smartphone, so it was kinda 'normal'.
But since I have the Jelly Bean AOSP, I really don't want to go back to sense.
About widgets, FB-contacts, ... I don't care. I use my phone for work, so the important things are calling, e-mail and tap-log.
If people on FB need me, they have to wait till I get home, a PC types better and faster anyway.
