HTC sense home replacement launcher

Is there a apk for the HTC sense home launcher
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Not that I know of, if you're using a build that doesn't come with it, then you don't have the frameworks. Those are needed for it to work. I'm pretty sure thats why everybody (including myself) has been purchasing Launcher Pro Plus and using those sense-like widgets, coupled with the ability to change the dock background. Theres a bunch of good backgrounds that make it look like The sense launcher. Theres a zip on the cm6 sense theme thread last page that has a ton of them. Rosie, Espresso/Expresso. Pretty much everything you could want. Sorry if this doesn't help.

Thank you for your help I will try the cm6 sense theme

Sense widgets in other launchers

I'm completely new to Sense (upgraded from a mt3g and avoided any roms that included anything related to Sense since it would've killed me on ~600MHz or so). I really like my Sensation with ADW Ex and was wondering, short of custom roms is there any way to use Sense widgets in ADW?
Sorry for the newb question, I tried to figure it out using Google but only came across links talking about "Sense-like" replacements. I'm curious if there's any way to extract the actual Sense widgets and reuse them.
Peace,

I think LauncherPro Plus has widgets that are similar to Sense widgets, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, I'll give LauncherPro a spin.. but I've seen a lot of "similar-to" replacements already that don't quite cut it; are the actual HTC widgets baked into Sense with no way to use them outside of their launcher?

I doubt that there is a way to access the Sense widgets from any launcher other than Sense?

There is NO way of using Sense widgets outside of Sense - it's been covered a million times before

You can find a million replacement widgets and use them on a better launcher like ADW EX. Which ones are you looking to use?

Try Colorize Widget.

Horrible advice is horrible.

ADW is **** anyway, every other launcher I've used has a slight lag switching screens. I'll be sticking with Sense

not so horrible.. just fact... he mentioned that he was used to stock android and started using adw.. at some point he got himself use to it and grew to like it.. so why can't he make himself do the same thing with sense....

Just not enough options with sense launcher, for me. Also i experience lag that I don't with go launcher or launcher pro plus, and pro has a sense skin that makes the widgets look like sense if that's what your after. With go launcher I use colorized widgets as posted previously

ADW EX is the most fully-featured and customizable launcher out there. You actually need to learn how to set it up though, so that probably turns a lot of newbs away.

true that may be, but I can't take the non responsiveness the first 5 Secs or so when trying to swipe between pages. Been the same for me, nexus one, mt4g, and now sensation

Never had that problem, personally.

I solved this by getting used to Sense for normal use and chilling with ADW whenever I wanted to appreciate how fast this phone could be... Like the Sense widgets, hate the launcher.

Isn't the point of getting an HTC phone is for sense?

have you try Go Launcher EX?

[Q] Is it possible to have Vanilla? or Sense?

Hi quick question is it possible for these phones to use vanilla or sense roms? and if so would someone be willing to make one Froyo or GB?
because personally I hate T-wiz and I use ADW with every rom so far but I would love to have a vanilla ROM I know Sense is HTC just dont know if these things are even possible

hey! this topic has been addressed a lot of times and other threads discuss this.
basically, its very difficult to port over sense because it is completely different than tw. its not really worth the dev's time in some cases, but there are other options, like themes for launchers that are nice. beautiful widgets is nice for the clock and since you like adw, you can get a theme, or look into go launcher. that is a very flexible launcher.

ok but what about Vanilla? and if this is posted somewhere else i havent seen it sorry about that. I have Fancy Pro with ADW ex (Also have Launcher Pro just dont like it as much so I dont install it) and I am able to make it look stock but would just prefer stock rather than having 2+ launchers

If you don't like the launchers, flash to icbinb. And get the theme. It had a cool launcher that I think you will like. try out zeam launcher as well if you get a chance. It's very minimalistic and works great. You can delete tw completely once you get another launcher.

Yes but make sure you already have another launcher before you do
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

nope, can use adw launcher ex? upgraded one to get few more things. Best thing to do is delete the bloatware you dont want/need to make it as stock as possible.

what do you mean by "nope"?
and you can use any launcher. install one and then delete twlauncher via titanium. look into sweet acid theme, it has a nice launcher

I can't fully answer this question, but if you want a Vanilla FEEL, then yes, it's definitely possible. Just download the Gingerbread launcher from the market. It'll give you a Vanilla feel.

Launcher Pro VS Rosie

Never used Rosie, don't even know where to find it..
I bought launcher pro about a year ago, and finally after getting my phone up and running again, I put it back on..
I'm running Synergy now... any reason I should run Rosie over Launcher Pro?

Rosie is the stock sense launcher, so the benefit is the ability to run sense widgets.

Thanks.. I think Launcher Pro is better for the many options..
Gonna stick with that.. thanks again!

Almost anything that LP can do, a themer can make Rosie do. Just to let you know. One impossible thing is the 5-app dock, except for the latest sense Rosie from the flyer.
However, the on-the-fly options that LP offers is very nice.

I prefer the other launchers' docks but love the sense widgets.....sense it is.

Love the smoothness of sense but hate the clutter of icons. Was using go launcher for a while but now back to sense. What is this newest rosie with docks "Tommytomatoe" is talking about?

I use Launcher Pro and Folder Organizer. Sure, I don't have as many widgets as with Sense (Rosie). The few I wanted, I could find in the market.
I like being able to create folders, and scrollable widgets. I can all more rows and columns, adjust the size of widgets, and have up to seven home screens. Although I don't use it, you can have up to three or five docks.
Here is a video capture of LP and FO running on Cyanogenmod 7

I believe Tommy was saying the one thing LP can do that he can't make Sense do, is have 5 buttons on the dock. However, the Sense that is on the Flyer/Express tablet DOES have 5 buttons. (And I sure wish to god someone would make THAT Rosie flashable )

C'mon, Tommy. Make that Rosie a flaahable zip. If anyone can do it....pretty sure it'd be you. (Well, fdb has gotten pretty intimate with Rosie lately, too)

Umm... Landscape rosie on evo? Why certainly...

question? sense launcher 3.0 on miui?

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

so could i take the framework from a sense roms and install it on miui and get sensed-miui?

No you can't

What do you like about Sense that you can't get with any other launcher?

I like the 3d sense 3.0 and i would love to have the animated flip sense clock on miui.

Try HeLauncher2 in the market. Looks like Sense.

I just use Fancy Widgets from the market for a Sense looking clock/weather combo. It is free.

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.
