I like how the messaging UI looks in the Sense 3.0 but I hate that it will show who ever I'm texting number if I have their email saved along with their number. As far as I know HTC doesn't have an option to remove this but I was hoping there would be a ROM that did... Does anyone know?
Ever since gb this has been a feature/bug on sense. For the inspire gb version it was really buggy and would just show the number instead of the name. There isn't much you can do except use a different sms app or delete all extra information from contact like alternate phone numbers and email adresses.

Oh that's a shame. Its very irritating.
Having had the same pet peeve I would recommend changing your default messaging app to Go SMS Pro
http://bit.ly/rZeddk
make sure you also get the widget. Much better app than the stock
messaging app and it gets rid of the telephone number bug that
drove me insane.

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if some of the sense 3.0 widgets can be developed for G2x?? Atleast the sense 3.0 lock screen. Is it anyway possible or on the cards or should i stop dreaming ??

Its great to dream, but in this case you should stop dreaming. The G2x and sense roms has 2 different framework so it will never work and even if it could it would take tons of modding that wouldn't be worth the trouble. Its similar to trying to put a Ferrari body on a Mercedes chassis.

There's a app called "Go To Lockscreen" and it pretty much gives you the features of the Sense lock screen. Its a good app.

im not sure if you wanted sense for the same reason i did. i wanted sense for the dialer + messaging client. althought we probably wont get the sense dialer, there is an app called GO Dialer, and GO Sms that is similar to the sense applications. Stock android dialer SUCKS! anyways hope this helps

The lock screen, dialer, messaging client and contacts client are the only good things about Sense. The vanilla clients are boring with less features. What's cool about the Sense contacts client is that contact pictures are just there with no loading. The vanilla contact client lags a little bit and there is a delay in showing the pictures.

Sense has some neat stuff but most of it is cosmetic.
Launcher Pro already has some Sense-like widgets built in and are themeable. They look like Sense out of the box. You can also customize Launcher Pro's dock bar to match any version of Sense.
Go Dialer and Go SMS are popular because you can theme them to look like whatever you want. I've also used "Dialer One" which was a "HTC SENSE Dialer" Clone at one time. I think they've went down their own path since but still has the same great functionality.
Moral of the story, you can make you phone look and feel like a Stock-Sense rom without having the stock-sense rom.
And I think they're porting Sense over in the O2x forums (directed at the second poster). MIUI, Sense, and CM7 are the 3 roms that should be ported to every phone. Completely do-able though. Nexus One has all 3.... but maybe I was spoiled.
It was possible on my hd2 windows phone. So I would say yes, it is possible. That phone had a much bigger following so I will not say it is propable.

as things have been said, launcherpro, GoTo LockScreen, things like that can give the customized feeling of not being on stock android...
I think the problem is we are on a LG phone trying to port a HTC client, Samsung Galaxy series never got it to work fully, just my opinion. I am not saying it is not possible, I am one that loves options and would like to see it happen though.

You can find software that looks like Sense such as Go Messenger but there is no contacts client out there with the deep integration/features you get with Sense. The Contacts Client is the only thing I like about HTC and I have yet to see one done better. Just ain't going to happen.

That's the problem isn't it. You have to decide whether you want the pretty UI of Sense, or the speed and battery life of CM7. Or you could try to find a Sense ROM that has the battery life of CM7. Have you tried BinDroid? I tried that recently and was getting 48 hours out of a charge. There are two versions. A partially themed 2.3.5 version, and a fully themed 2.3.3 version.
Unfortunately you'll never get any Sense dialer/contacts running on a non-Sense ROM.
I keep coming back to Sense. Sure CM7 is slicker than a buttered weasel, but no one is batter at the Dialer, Contacts, Clock, Calendar etc than HTC.
Dialler one is good replacement for sense dialler
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
In my opinion Email, Calendar and Dialer apps from Sense 2.1 look bad. They are polished in Sense 3.0 but instead of Dialer I still use GO Contacts Ex. You will try it and never get back to stock one.
I recommend ex dialer
And for messaging go sms pro is the best
Ex Dialer is good... Thanks!
I am a fan of Go SMS Pro, however the recent update only does a back up and restore to the cloud!
I wonder , Why did they have to remove the backup and restore to the SD card option? :banghead:

I love the sense contacts; till now I did not find a proper replacement for it even after trying all kinds of contact apps. One problem I see mainly is they can never completely replace the built-in dialer & phonebook they keep poping up in some scenarios even after wasting making the new app default. This results in RAM wastage.
I'm tryna find the best sms/email popup app... Any suggestions?

Agreed. My entire phone is a Go interface.
Go Launcher, Go Sms, Go Contacts. Once they get go Locker completely configurable I will use that too.
I have to recommend Go SMS as well. It's highly customizable and does way better than the stock messaging app.
i use gosms handcent started messing my phone up i recommend go sms for ya as well their stuff is so customizable and easy
While I also have been using GO SMS (only go product I dear use lol) lately it has been becomeing as bogged down as the stock and just as slow. There are many options. The top would be handcent and chomp as well as go. Try them all and find the one you like best and stick with it.

So when Im connected on Wifi Calling I can't send texts messages more the 160 characters. It doesnt drop calls or anything like that. I'm running the latest Virtuous Unity.
Thanks for sharing. If you are looking for some sort of solution, I suggest you read the entire thread for Virtuous Unity. As far as I know, you're going to have to deal with it or go to a different ROM.

I thought it was the app it self,never would of guess it would be the rom. Thanks for your input.
That's how Unity is. I think its that way on all sense based roms but I'm not sure. I know on TDJs MIUI and CM7 you can send longer texts and MMS over wifi, so if you really need it then just switch to one of them.

Is there any way to get the stock ICS messaging app? I'm not the largest fan of several little quirks in the SenseUI one, and am really not a fan of how it looks.
Has anyone else tried this? If so, to what success?

no. i even pulled over both the apk and odex file and it wouldn't show up.
i changed my emoticons in the Sense one and that's good enough for me. for now.

That's disappointing. I really can't stand the messaging UI, and the inability to hide the phone numbers in messages. I realize who I'm talking to, HTC... I don't need you to also list out their 10 digit phone number as well.
It's a shame, as I really love the phone, and there's no one big UI change that I dislike, it's just all these little things, like the changes in the messaging app that are really turning me off.

He said keyboard, but it's actual ICS sms apps. And after using some HTC has a much better looking app in my opinion.
Yes I meant SMS not keyboards. But the ics keyboard + ics messaging looks nice. I don't mind sense UI though. Beats touch wiz hands down.

I'm using a holo stock messenging apk. don't remember where I got it from as I pulled it from my sgs2. Only problem is it doesnt send mms messages, only sms.
just drop it into system/app named mms.apk with the right permissions.
worked for me. might take a couple tries to show up.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10741863/Mms.apk
Try this! http://db.tt/suTWB1GG. Its a modded mms.apk from the Gnex with black background / white text. Works perfectly on my HTC One X.

Does anyone by chance have the stock mms.apk holo w/ white background by chance? If it was pulled from the gnex it should work in full with no problems right?
Don't quite like the black, plus I would like picture messages to work as well.
Thank You in advance

I have had gripes with the HTC MMS app, but after using a Galaxy Nexus for a while, it too shows the phone number on the message screen. I also think the HTC UI is actually better and more professional and "clean". But yeah, would be nice to try stock ICS too, but I have never been able to get it working on any ICS device other than the Nexus.
I can confirm that hartfords mms apk looks just like holo w/ black background and picture messages work.
Edit: spoke too soon.... I can receive pics and videos but for some reason can't send them...the search continues.
