Customize homescreen and still keep Sense - HTC Sensation

are there more people out there which prefere to use htc sense and still be able to customize?
I'm using Desktop visualizer but on my Sensation with sense, but what frustrates me is that my custom icons/images never are seemingless.
my question to you all is, what kinda apps do you use to customize your homescreen while using STOCK SENSE?
and is it possible to change the grid size from 4x4 to say 4x5 ?
Apps i use to customize:
Desktop Visualizer Android Market link
Application folder Application folder

Ok a few screens ive made using Desktop Visuliaer, and Simi folder.
Makes Sense very easy to customize, looks good i think.

It would be nice to postion the icons where you like, rather than be set to almost a grid with Sense.

Its Android ICS, and Sense 3.6. Using the Elegancia ICE rom.
There has been some amazing themes done to this rom, just check out the Elegancia ICS thread in the theme section.
I used a zip to make the dockbar transparent, same as the top bar. And then just rplaced the icons.
Just rember that ICS Sense dockbar is a lot diffrent to Gingerbread dockbar.

Sorry guys, I should have been more clear. All this consists of is icons and a wallpaper. To achieve the "look" you need a few simple non-root programs such as better cut and folder organizer to change the icons. I also used adw launcher to get the iPhone styled app drawer and the dock you see in the screenshot.
Absolutely no root required!
I use ADW Launcher aslo but I cannot figure out for the life of me how you got 4 icons on the bottom like that. I mean the quick launch icons at the bottom.
you need to disable the page dots, then you are able to select the choice to add 2 more buttons in the place of the dots.
Excellent. I have it now...one more question...how do I replace the dialer? I have all the other icons replaced but when I go to create a new shortcut I do not see dialer as an app?

on the Incredible you will have to select new "Activity" in BetterCut and it is listed as Phone in there.
Excellen thanks. I found it under activities and it was called phone.
Cool work. Looks good...it was only a matter of time until someone wanted their incredible to look like an iPhone. Lol oh the irony! Because when you hold it...it gets reception
I did it just for fun... i switch between ADW.Launcher (my iPhone theme) and LauncherPro (My Android theme) just to switch it up. To be honest, when using the Android iPhone theme I always feel like that is how the iPhone OS should have been!
hey rocket man! do you have a page with all your icons?
all of the ones i ported are in the zip file. i'm thinking about making a "goodies" page on Grafixpressions.com where all of our fun stuff will be posted, but it may take me some time to set that up!

Sorry if I was unclear! I was refering to if you had other icon designs besides this? I'd like to check them all out!

[REQ] Smaller HTC Clock/Weather Widget + Flip

Having an HD2, I simply loved what Cookie has down with the look and feel of the UI, my only problem is the phone just sucked, lol. Ok, that was too much, my bad you HD2 owners browsing, but I really like how Cookie made a smaller version of the clock/weather widget for the homescreen. Here is a pic, outlined in red of course lol.

Also, another cool touch was the clock would flip to a new time, here is a video

I even notice some guy with an iPhone hacked Sense UI with a working flip clock, lol:

I think Home++ does this, not for sure, anyway to extract just the time/weather widget from it?
Here is some pics of Home++ clock/widget
Please does anybody know how to get these 2 working on Android?
Unsure of the name of that program , but you can test out :
I find it almost like the HTC Clock only smaller.
YR.no Widget

Thanks.
Tried it, ran very slow on my Evo, it was a nightmare so I deleted it.

Well you could try Beautiful widget in the market
Not a fan of Beautiful Widgets

Fancy doesn't have a smaller clock, just the large one.
Beautiful Widgets has the smaller home.
beautifual widgets does the job for me
beautiful widgets doesnt have the white flipclock like HTC , only a dark one that doesnt look veyr good
Fancy Widget looks amazing, just liek the real deal, but I have a problem where the time sometimes gets stuck and you have to refresh it manually
Thanks, I will try it out

[REQ Port] Sense Digi-clock and weather widgets

This is my first request, so please don't flame too bad. I am looking for a port of the digi-clock from Sense as well as the weather widgets. I am aware that for the weather, there are similar apps both paid and free, but they are not as polished as the HTC version.
I was curious if anyone could do a port. Will donate if needed.
Example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Not going to happen. Sense widgets require the sense UI and framework and cannot be ported to non sense roms. You can try evils sense Rom for n1 in the development section but that's about your best bet of getting the official sense clock and widgets. Sad but true.

Well thanks for the reply. I guess as a consolation prize, do anyone know of any well designed clock and weather widgets?

You could try fancy widget. It looks a lot like htc clock widget. It's taken down from market (due to htc c&d I heard) so good luck finding it.

Thanks, I already have that, but I am over the flip clock. I like the simplicity of the digital clock.

CM7 Weather widgets?

What are you guys using? I tired Fancy Widgets but IMO they look bad. Anything close to stock? ( Im talking sense )
Closest to Sense is gonna be Beautiful Widgets. I agree, fancy widget sucks. You'll never get the large weather widget and have it look decent, for some reason the resolution on those large ones look like ****. But I found the small weather widget from Beautiful Widgets looked nice, like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
Beautiful Widgets is what is what as well . Goweather is nice but its a cpu hog
from my phone duh
Guessing that BW is a paid app?
Free version of Fancy Widget skinned to look like sense. Not sure if I'm even allowed to distribute the .apk.. but here it is anyways.
for some reason my fancy widgets isnt loading the weather anyone kno how to fix this ?
Fancy widget pro is awesome. There are so many skins for it. You can have one skin for clock and one skin for weather. Its sweet.

ICS Google Search Widget Theme - High Res/Universal

Hey guys, just wanted to share an ICS search widget mod that works perfectly on our Notes. (Gingerbread) I found this app on the market awhile back, but was pulled down for an unknown reason. I did not write this app & unfortunately I do not even know who to give credit to.
Either way, this is the best method I've found for getting a high res ICS themed search widget - the voice icon also works perfectly. Just install the APK as you would any other application (file manager, root explorer, etc) and the widget will show up in your widget menu.
Here is a screenshot and download link :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",

}

Great find, I've been searching for this for ages! Cheers!

You'll need a launcher that allows you to resize widgets, otherwise it will be 4x1 like the stock widget. I use ADW EX w/ 6x1. I know Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, SPB shell 3d, and many others will allow you to resize it.

How did you get your dock to look like that? I have the background image and the ICS icons, however when I set the background that white line touches the top of the icons rather than there being a "gap" like there should be!
I use Kovdev's ICS theme which i believe works with ADW and Go launcher.
Just reporting it worked for me in my Ace...
Downloaded! Great share!! :thumbup:
