Droid x htc sence

Is there a sence theme for the droid x? Like that has the dialer and the music player and the flip clock and everything?

i am going to have to agree with this.

Do you mean like HTC SENSE?? The DROIDX doesn't have "sense" it has the Motorola blur overlay. Someone would have to build a theme for the X that made it look like HTC SENSE

Well we know its not possible to build a ROM for it because of its locked bootloader, and there is a theme, it's just really not very good....If you want to make ur phone look like HTC Sense then do the following...
-Get an old version of fancy widget off 4shared.com
-Download HeLauncher and use the HTC Sense Homescreen
-For Lockscreen, download Lockbot or WidgetLocker and use HTC Sense Lock
-For Wallpapers I'm sure you can get on the market.

You can actually build ROMs for it no problem (look at CM7 now), the problem would be that HTC obviously doesn't release the source code for Sense, etc. So there's no possible way of going that route. A long time ago I remember seeing a pretty good Sense theme for Droid X, but I'm not sure if it's still being maintained anymore. I'll see if I can find a link

Actually, I do believe that the Sense User Interface is open-source. So all it would take is a good developer to build and port Sense for the Droid X.

miui has a sense 3.0 lockscreen

i highly doubt sense will ever work on a motorola device.
fyi, it never truly worked on the og droid either. no mms, no 3g, sdcard errors, constant reboots, and other errors.
but it was a good attempt.

@smyers1012 thanx for the info. I already had widgetlocker but then I dl lockbot. N I prefer it way better! Thanx

Don't say what can't be done, someone might do it, or might be working on it while you're saying that.

Who here besides me would want a PURE Gingerbread ROM?

Pure stock gingerbread....no themes, no weird fonts, no extras. Just pure gingerbread running on the sensation. I would absolutely LOVE this. Am I the only one? I'm not familiar with CM7....is that pure gingerbread?

I too want just a pure stock one. NO FOOLIES!

me too would love it

+1, but I would also use CM

CM7 is basically stock but enhanced with new, improved features and settings. Like new lockscreens built into the ROM, profiles (so you can have a work and a home profile, for example, with different settings on each), a new kernel, better performance overall. For more info, go here.
www.cyanogenmod.com

Would love a pure AOSP rom with only a few additions like volumerocker music-controll and a optimised kernel.
When I still had my Nexus S i used Oxygen by Adam_G, fastest Rom i ever used.

I would like a GB ROM as well to have the option. But I'm runningthe non sense ROM and it combines a good mix of sense and stock gb. I still like sense because of the dialer and the magnifying copy and paste like on ios. But everythingelse on my phone is stock GB like the lockscreen, keyboard, and launcher . It's a good mix

That would be awesome, something nice and simple, and super.fast!

I would love a stock rom that had all the bloatware removed.

CM7 feels like a pure Gingerbread ROM, but with an extra option in settings that gives more power-user options. Different types of lockscreens (Gesture, rotary, normal), clock speed, force-move applications to sd card, volume enhancements, profiles, themes for status bar (and battery % inside the battery icon). There aren't many visual changes from ASOP (Unlike Sense or MIUI). (It's what I want to run)

I think there are some good features in sense 3 but still prefer stock gb. However if we could have gb with sense copy paste and modified sense lock screen it would be really nice. Ppl love the sense dialer but i seriously prefer stock dialer.

Gpc had a great Rom running on the HD2 maybe he will jump over to the sensation now that we have s-off
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

just a rom with OC/UV and voodoo audio/video and no bloatware is all we need... i can deal with sense 3.0 because thats what i've used on the sensation4g since day 1 (first android phone).

+1000
Would be great to have vanilla android for the Sensation. You can make it look like Sense, I just like AOSP better.

Give me barebones CM7 or give me death.

Stock/Pure Gingerbread is overated.
Just because there are this and that you don't like about Sense doesn't make stock Gingerbread great. Once you start using stock Gingerbread you will start hating Google for not implementing this simple thing and that easy tweak, and you would want more.
If you don't like Sense, or are not satisfy with the speed with Sense, go get CM7 (when it is available on the Sensation) and don't bother with stock Gingerbread.

I would love ASOP Gingerbread cant wait til i get one of those roms =]

hell if i could just get better than 9-10 hours of use out of the damn phone with stock battery i would be happy... (yeah i send 200+ texts per day) plus surf alot

Replacing the personalize button?

Yeah I feel the same way.

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'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

Tried both and don't like either. For certain reasons i have been using Smart Keyboard. Just my opinion as I always have searched for the ideal KB with manual customization, enlarging buttons, increasing haptic, etc...
If swift has all of this, then maybe I didn't give it enough time however I don't like hopping around.

You can enlarge the buttons in smart keyboard? How? I would like to use the entire space so that the buttons actually are touching each other instead if having small spaces in between them.
I need a keyboard with arrow keys, so far smart keyboard is the only one that does the trick for me. Sense and GB keyboard both lack it

I actually use an old version of "shape writer" that is a non market app that I found either on xda or android central forums.
Easily the best swipe style keyboard I've ever tried. And I've tried a LOT

GB keyboard. i like the arrow keys.

Sorry for late reply. (SMART KEYBOARD).
Settings>general settings>key height(there you can manage height & width).
And if needed there is an option to pad the bottom of keyboard for "added lift ".
1 of the best features, are the addition of free skins in options. Just one tap and you can have almost any other keyboard variant.
Side note-Not sure if "pro version" varies as I only have this.

[Q] HTC launcher on Samsung device

Does anyone know if it is possible to have an HTC launcher on a Samsung device?
Google gives me nothing and I really miss the Sense 3.0 launcher.
I already have those far from perfect skins and themes, but I want the real thing.
I want the carousel effect, the 3D effect, and the floaty lockscreen widgets.
I imagine that it can't really be all that hard, can it.
Can't it just be installed like all the custom launchers?
Or it could be extracted from a HTC ROM and placed in a Galaxy rom instead the Touchwiz launcher.
Anyway, I hope someone can inform me about all this.

I would like to know about this as well.

1. The launcher relies on the HTC Sense framework which refers me to point #2:
2. The HTC Sense framework is proprietary and closed-source .

So it is not possiele to just grab a random HTC sense 3.0/3.5 custom Rom and make it compatible with different hardware?
And if so, how are those custom Roms made in the first place?
If i find the time, i'm gonna experiment with this.

It's not possible even with same hardware , you may even get sued by HTC

Before this phone I had a HTC hd2 and it ran Sense 3.0, doesn't that prove enough?
I don't think we're on the same page.
