So I see we have a great line up of roms here for our phones but I have yet to see a combo of CM7 & sense. I mean cm7 had its benefits but so does sense why not make the best of both world? Anyways just trying to introduce a new idea. Also sorry if this is in the Wong section.

No not it the wrong place. Let me try to answer this. It is kinda impossible because they are 2 totally different frameworks. Everything about them us different all the way down to the kernel. You can't necessarily merge the two. You can run senselike widgets on cm7. And you can take the sense out of sense roms but keep the contacts and what people do like about it. But it would be like combining a reptile with a mammal. They are just way too different all the way down and can't be mashed together.

Agreed ^
The framework is just too different. SystemUI files are going to cause a conflict if not the framework.
I think everyone have up on this idea back in the Hero days. There's a project called OpenSense, but I don't know anything about it.

What I meant is modding CM7 to have the ring lockscreen and recently open apps etc. maybe even add the launcher

Lockscreen, launcher, and every other element is heavily dependent on the sense framework.
If you change all the frameworks, the rom is no longer CM7 ... its sense

Easy.
Widget Locker has a "Sense 3" Slider what is a exact clone of the Sense 3 lockscreen, complete with all the animations.
As for Launcher, you can try GO Launcher(use Go Weather for the clock as well)

Yeah I feel the same way.

??? The question was remapping a Sense button, not replacing the whole launcher lol. Not everyone (Me included) likes launcherpro and/or the others.

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.

Here's the mod for the MT4G with MySense and Sense 2.1...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885967
I wonder if this mod would work on the Revolution HD rom, since that rom uses Sense 2.1 instead of 3.0? Hmmm..
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
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
Is there a mod available for stock tmous deodexed Rom that will make the launcher and lockscreen automatically rotate? I would think this would already be around but was unable to locate anything its not even in any custom Roms that I've tried. And no I don't want anouther launcher.

Well think about it. The slide phones have it enabled by default and I would think its cooked into Sense and Rosie some were just not enabled for a handset without a keyboard. Just what I thought who knows figured I would ask.

Luckily I had a Vibrant. Open the App Drawer and click edit (or something like that...if no edit then change the sort order and then it'll let you edit)
Once the icons are bouncy and you can move them, that's when you can change the icons. I believe the blue All Apps icons must stay though.
Keep looking I opened up a thread with a proper sized one that works great on the sensation and themes for it work too

Hey guys, simply put i am a noob This is my first post on these forums and i need a little help with my HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile, Rooted) I have searched for a similar thread but i could not find a really helpful answer. I want to change the home screen transition effects on my Sensation and i could not find how to do this. I do not want something like SPB Shell 3D because that changes the whole 'Sense 3.0' experience. I want some different transition effects on my homescreen because the outside cube effect is really boring.I want something without giving up Sense 3.0. I have already tried Anim Mod but that did not really help.
Thanks For helping a noob out guys

I think there is no way you can change the 3D effect and keep the sense launcher.

I don't believe there is. The only thing you can change are windows animations and transitions that have nothing to do with sense launcher 3d effect.

Oh give over, don't have a go. Some people like sense and its UI, I like it but I can also appreciate that some people don't like it but I dont go round having a go at those who prefer an alternative launcher. It's his opinion so let it be and get over it
EDIT: to answer the question, no unfortunately the cube animation cannot be changed without going to alternate launchers. If you use an alternative launcher AFAIK you won't be able to use sense widgets
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
There is a ROM for the sensation (I'm not sure which one) that if you are using 4ext touch recovery with the yes/no function you can choose to have the 3d effect removed, just a flat slide like in earlier sense. Hope this helps!

Hey Guys, i installed MIUI on Android version 2.3.7 and i tried to install Android Revolution HD and when i flashed PG58IMG.ZIP it said the model number is wrong on the bootloader screen and it won't let me get to recovery (4EXT) so I have to take the memory card out to get to recovery. Also i backed up my data, used SuperWipe, and flashed Android Revolution and restarted, my phone gets stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant Screen and won't boot. So then i took the memory card out an the battery out, and put it back in to get to recovery mode and i went back to MIUI.
What Should I do?
Thanks Guys
Will anybody help with the problem above? ^

Hi all
I'm very torn as to which ROM I stay on.
I've been switching between Viper ROM & CM10. Both are awesome ROMs but I can't decide which I prefer more.
I really like the integration that sense gives you over AOSP but can't get away from the fact that CM 10 is giving amazing battery life.
If anyone can steer me in any direction I'd appreciate it.

Im on jb because its smooth and stable.
Sense has great options. But so does cmx
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Nobody can really make the descision for you. You need to decide which is more important for you, good intergration of apps, or better battery life? After that, it's an easy choice to make.
I really like both for those reasons, back on viper again now will probably check CMX soon
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
why not just keep both on your phone and change to which ever one you fancy with boot manager................sudeki300
Go with one and commit to it. It's like when you're dating two girls at once, and they're both great, but eventually you have to pick one or the other. You're playing with their emotions. Do you want the bust y blonde in sense, or the amazing personality brunette with maybe some aesthetic flaws? You just have to tell one to take a hike and go all in with the other. Pimp out CM10, enjoy Sense 4s beauty, whatever.
For me, I'm a CM10 guy even though sense is much better for organizational purposes right of the bat. But the thing is, I can organize just fine with CM10, just takes a little more customization.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
That's a fantastic way to put it. I'm going to try CMX and few different launches, any recommend launches, reading loads of post but personal experience is alway more valuable

I stick with Sense because Wifi-calling is a must for me, but if cm10 had that, I would definitely head in that direction.

The deal breaker for me is wifi-calling. When that exists on jellybean, then I will switch.

I'm on Sense 4 and I don't plan on going to JB unless we get an official kernel or ffc is fixed.
My memory card have 15gb of full hd songs...so sense is good for me because playback of some codec in every player sucks in cmx....And the customization of viper also attracts me...so am in viper

Sense just feels more fluid and connected. For example, clock weather widget, tap on the time and it takes you straight to alarm clock,timer,stop watch. Tap the weather and you get the forecast.
To achieve the same on an AOSP Rom, needed to find a clock widget (fancy sense) then a timer and stop watch app, then a weather app and then set the widget up to open the secondary apps.

for me its the whole UI, to me it just looks good and feels fluid and fast to use. Tbh I dont use camera app at all, if I want to take a photo, I have a dedicated camera...
My whole life I've used AOSP until about 2 months ago. With sense I feel the phone is just more intact, by that I mean stuff just works. Like the kernel has no hacks or whatever, all the libs are there, all the kernel codes, hardware and software seem to cooperate more. I personally feel the sensation was meant to run sense, despite not liking the aesthetic look, everything is fluid and works wonderful
