On pretty much all android phones, the wallpaper scrolls as you navigate left and right through your screens. On the sensation however, sense 3 fixes it since you can scroll all the way round. This is annoying. Before I rooted and flashed my phone, SPB shell allowed scrolling wallpapers again, even though that too can go all the way round your screens. Since flashing though, it's fixed, even with the non standard launcher. Is there any way I can mod this without changing roms?
The only way to re-enable it is to use a different launcher.
eg Launcher Pro
Most launchers have an option to turn wallpaper scrolling on and off. Unfortunately Sense 3.0/3.5 doesn't
I know sense 3 and 3.5 doesn't, but my spb shell launcher used to scroll until I flashed a different rom.

Does anyone know why it won't scroll any more on my different launcher? It did before I flashed any roms, but I don't see why a rom change would stop a completely different launcher from behaving the same as before?

Try wallpaper wizardrii but not with sense launcher

The qHD screen is capable of 1080x960 scrollable wallpapers but HTC ruined everything with its carousel thingy (pseudo-3D transitions).
Sense 3.5 would have been the best rom ever if it didn't have this limitation
Perhaps the next Sense with ICS will have back scrollable wallpapers...

Thanks, I'll give it a go, not using the sense launcher anyway.

Tried it, it's an editor. It won't automatically allow my launcher to scroll wallpapers again, and it'll only work on static wallpapers anyway, live wallpapers should also scroll normally.

The gingerbread lockscreen was disabled last minute by HTC I believe. Is there a way to get it back? I.e. tv turning off animation when locking.
On second note, can the homescreen be used in landscape?

I sure once we get some custom roms and what not we'll get that animation.
As for the home screen, the sense launcher does not have a landscape mode that I've seen.

Sense can't be used in landscape. I'm hoping somebody makes a mod like they did with Touchwiz, so we can change the functions and stuff, as well as having it landscape

Oh really? In the Sense ROMS i had been using on my HD2, i was able to go into landscape mode. But that doesn't bother me. I just wish the would have kept the awesome lockscreen animation
Hello All,
I somehow have an animated lockscreen at the moment.
Not sure how I did it, in fact trying to recreate it.
The live wallpaper is being displayed on the lockscreen. Can someone else reproduce any such thing on their Sensation?
T.I.A.

If you're using a custom ROM such as Android Revolution HD there are files you can flash to enable it in that particular ROM's Thread.
Thanks sromer for the reply.
Having an animated lockscreen background is very cool right, much more interesting than an static image for now.
I have had my Sensation for about a week now. Been playing with both Launcher Pro and the stock sense. Stock sense seems REALLY laggy and kinda buggy. I have been using Launcher Pro for about a year and a half or so and when I loaded it on here and customized it makes the Sensation come alive! If anyone out there hates the lag try Launcher Pro until HTC comes up with an update to fix this.
One downfall is you do lose all of the HTC widgets. The phone still functions the same. And your notification bar and everything else is still there. Just the widgets won't show up when using it. There are widget apps out there like Beautiful Widgets or others that are free.
Just wanted to post this on here. A lot of people talking about lag. This is a great fix for it and speeds up your Sensation to what it should be!
Not trying to pimp Launcher Pro. Just tryin to give suggestions.
Cheers!
Yup, I myself am using adw ex & the phone is now flying. Do miss the sense widgets though. Little bit of give & take I suppose.

I am using the EXACT setup lol. I always use launcher pro with beautiful widgets. Best combo for me.
I am also using launcher pro. I did get the plus version with the extra widgets. I am somewhat disappointed in them and not sure it was worth the price. However, LP runs great, better than Sense, and I use it along with fancy widgets.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
It's fast for sure. I also use 5 row homescreen grid to fit more icons and widgets to certain screens. Plus version of Launcher Pro is definitely worth the money.
Me too
Ive done the same, ditched sense a few hours after unboxing, Launcher Pro Plus, Beautiful Widgets and Widgetsoid. Fewer FCs and much faster.
Doesn't sense still run in the background even if you use an alternative launcher?
+1 lpp working good for me with the combination of miui fancy widget.

Yes it does, there's no getting rid of it until we're rooted.
Home screens arr very smooth with launcher pro... But my app drawer.lags quite a bit. Same with adw
Anyone else use Folder Organizer?
I really don't like swiping. Much rather click. So I only use one home screen, with folders. Click, click, to access any app, shortcut or bookmark I want. Very fast, zero lag.
Folder Organizer has the advantage of allowing custom icons for the folders, so home page looks like a screen of apps, instead of a bunch or generic folder icons.
One disadvantage, can't link to a widget from inside a folder. But, 3rd party launchers have a similar issue, and I can still put widgets on other home screens if needed.
We have 2 sensations and both running BW and LPP. Our home screens are still not smooth in transitions and often laggy. This is on 2 tmobile sensations. My previous G2x was much faster and smoother.
Also I believe LPP is messing with my geolocation. Not sure how, but when I remove LPP I don't have geolocation issues(tells me I am in a different state).
I prefer Regina right now but I love messing with launchers
Idk what kind of setup you guys are running or maybe your definition of lag is different then mine, but I have no lag at all.

You have to keep it for a couple hours and it speeds up. I had the same issue and now its faaaast. I use adw ex. And I have the horizontal drawer.

Go launcher is the only one that works for me. Very smooth and snappy all the way around. Can't wait for s-off so we can unlock the full potential of this CPU.

I see... Idk if I can put if with lag for that long. haven't had a phone that lagged since my droid Eris. Honestly my droid 2 global was a little more snappy than the sensation. But that was oc'd of course.
Launcher pro is awesome but its still not as fast on the sensation as it is on my nexus one. It will prob be after root. Still, much better than sense.

Destop visualizer in sense
I have been an ADW launcher user for quite a while
on HD2 (2 of), Desire HD and now sensation.
But I have also been using Desktop Visualizer to add custom icons to empty sense pages - best of both worlds.
i also have ADW as a home page choice - have not set either as the default yet.
Only had sensation for 4 days.
Well we all know sense is fat and slow. It looks great. But we want speed. Or at least i do. I use adw at the moment. I think its pretty good. Have any of you tried launcher pro or something else that you think is far better than any other. Lets take a poll. Im interested. Thanks

ADW EX. I'll never use anything else. The hidden dockbar is just too good. Fast and clean and nothing else comes close for customization.
Also used Launcher Pro, but ADW wins.
I have always used adw on my other phones with CM7, but it didn't seem to run very well on the sensation. I just tried Launcher Pro starting about 2 days ago and that is where I am staying until something changes.
I haven't GoLauncher EX is the only one that wasn't slow on my phone...ADW was great on my G2 though.

I thought the same until I found wave launcher. I still swap from launcher 7 and adw ex, but I no longer use the hidden dock.

I've had both Launcher Pro and ADW Ex. I liked ADW Ex better than Launcher Pro. Both were definitely faster and snappier than the Sense. But I put Sense back on cause of the looks.
Had ADW EX for a little while but then switched to Go Launcher EX. I actually find it more customizable. Both were fast for me. I don't think I'll switch for a while.
Sense is fine for me. I think it's just as quick as the other launchers stock for stock

cant get away from sense : /
i love customization of adw ex but i always end up missing my sense widgets.. now if someone can develop some sense widget replacements ill be set
I use Go Launcher. I tried Adw and launcher Pro ex but I just think that the customization in Go Launcher is better than anything else, at the moment anyways. I also like the transitions and the" wrap around" home screens. I keep the other two installed just to check for updates.
I wouldn't mind a faster launcher, but I really like the ring lockscreen scheme on Sense.
Sense 3.0 launcher

Do any launchers support the qHD wallpaper like Sense does? I've tried Go Launcher and ADW and can't get them to not crop my wallpaper photo too much. The form factor isn't right.
Also Go Launcher dock icons are too small on this screen, and don't seem adjustable.
Tried using ADW and Launcher Pro PLus for some time....
I realized, Sense 3.0 is the best
Adw has some hd icons and walls. Also on adw you can change the size of icons. Just saying. Might help.

I use launcher pro and you still keep the sense lockscreen. One downfall of sense is that it only takes gives you a 4x4 layout. I have 5x10 layout using launcher pro means you can fit more on your homescreens. Plus you can resize widgets.

We still need someone to mod the rosie launcher on our phones, I don't think anyone has got to that point yet, something that needs to be capable with Sense 3.0 and the phone's resolution.
I'm also waiting for them to remove the personalize option on the right corner and make it an browser shortcut.,
try more icons widget...
or get another launcher.
Is there a way to install the Sense Launcher 3.0 on Miui? I have tried all kinds of different modded launchers and I dont want a modded launcher pro or ADW I would like to have the real Rosie.apk Its probably in the framework so thats why all of the launchers I have used wont work. I was hoping someone would have a modded Rosie that doesnt require to be tied into the framework. preferably the new 3.0.
No. Sense isn't just a launcher. If you want the Rosie.apk on miui, you will need to have sense framework thus equalling a sense rom

No The Original Fancy Widget comes closer the sense clock than that one. The only thing is it isnt animated. Which I currently already have. If anyone needs it.
