{REQ/QUESTION} HTC Sense 3.0

Is anyone working on a Sense 3.0 ROM for the G2X? I've already seen it running beautifully on the MT4G

Nope no development. And likely wont see one. Asking for a sense rom on a non htc phone is blasphemy.
Sense is slow and useless imo

I agree...I like stock a lot better than any skin, even HTC Sense. Either way, I haven't heard anything about a Sense ROM for the G2X yet. Maybe when official Gingerbread comes out and development (hopefully) picks up again someone will port or start making a Sense ROM.

This. The Sensation, which has stronger hardware, is slower than the g2x. That's all you really need to know about Sense.

If you want sense buy a sense phone.
G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!

I really like the weather animations on sense 3.0. I've heard that beautiful widgets is close to that, true?

I really like Beautiful Widgets. Lots of goodies in that app. The weather animations are pretty sleek. Not sure how to compare it to Sense though.

GO Weather has a widget that can be skinned to look exactly like HTC and yet is free. Has other skins too, and even a live wallpaper that changes based on the weather.

All I want is the lock-screen, unless someone has advice for something similar for a rooted stock G2x.

Until we get drivers for gingerbread, a lot of ports are just not going to happen. Once lg/nvidia releases what we need, you'll be able to port anything over within reason. (On my old hd2 I had sense 3.0 running perfectly. And it's hardware specs were a lot lower than this. AND it ran well. Just needs quite a bit of tweaking.)

Seems like no one has come accross MIUI lol. THAT is the best ever. Hands down.

TW4.5?

Edit: look in the atrix forums if there are any tw4.5 fans in here they fixed the apk to work better
Is there anyway to get fr4ggors tw4.5 to work for the sensation I actually like touchwiz and find that launcher real snappy on the sensation only problem is the resolution is messed up and there is a giant blank spot in between the dock and homescreen area
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Short answer: no.
Long answer: noooooooooo. We can't even do anything on the phone until we are rooted with an unlocked bootloader. Luckily, we have temp-root and it should only be a little while before they crack the bootloader and give us permroot and the ability to flash custom recoveries, kernels, radios, ROMs, etc. At which point I would ask your question again and hopefully someone can answer. I know Sense can't be ported to non-HTC devices, and I have never seen TW on non-Sammy devices, so I don't think it's doable. Would be cool though, variety is awesome.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Tw4.5 was ported by fr4ggor to all phones but on the sensation the resolution is just messed up because its too high but yes your right should have waited till we are rooted but just so you know the porting part has been done just a matter of fixing resolution can't wait till we have root so I can dump sense its just too much of a resource hog imo the wait is on

Oh cool man thanks for the info. I got sick of TW on my Vibrant, but after not having it for so long I'd like to mess around with it again.

nice find! looks appealing, er a SENSEable!

hopefully we'l get the update or get it port on our SENSable devices

Looks Good...we could use it and the sooner the better.

Fingers crossed

I doubt we get this in any update. We will more than likely have to rely on one of the custom ROMs here for this. Keep in mind, I haven't read anything about it either way, that is just my opinion.

it's uggly..sense 3.0 so much better

Dont like the unlock ring

There is one rom in the dev section with 3.5 included.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

link please>?

Check out the latest CoreDroid rom
I.m running CoreDroid 2.3. They put together a sweet rom w/ (As the dev put) "Sense 3.5 Goodies".

In my opinion I think it looks pretty good with maybe the exception of the home screen rosie dock. not a fan, but I suppose a rom, or even a theme could fix it. It looks like its running pretty smoothly too! I likee

I got the inside word that its already been booted on the Desire HD looking forward to that

I am sceptical, don't see the about phone screen which tells you the sense version, wouldn't that be one of the first things you would show, even photoshoped to look authentic ;-).
I have seen moded phones already that look similar to this, that are sense 3.0

its been ported to htc desire HD!! if we wait a while im sure to see it on sense devices

Is anyone else not a big fan of sense?

Or is it just me? I love the inquisition rom for this exact reason. IDK, I just don't like it very much. Am I in a lone group with this? What's everyone else's take?

i wish hTC makes their phones as simple as the galaxy nexus, that's why i will flash a "senseless" ICS ROM.

I love AOSP ROMs, not de-sensed ROMs as they contain parts of sense still in them. E.g OpenSensation, nice AOSP ROM...

that's what i've noticed on my previous HD2...i didn't try on my sensation yet, but i guess yeah, it's quicker

Sense is just a battery hog

I love sense... Probably because ive never owned an HTC before, and i really like how different it is to other android devices....
I dont think battery is that bad TBH, I can easily get 1-2 days use out of it....
Is there an HTC that doesnt come with sense (except windows phones) ??? If not why buy the HTC if you dont like sense ??

if you dont like sense you could install the aosp roms or install a third party launcher

But then what would attract customers to buy a HTC device instead of a Galaxy Nexus?
OEM's can't compete on hardware differentiation alone IMO.

That won't change the horrible Sense apps. Yes, you could root your phone install an AOSP rom, but you shouldn't have to do that to make your phone work like it's supposed it.
HTC/other OEMS should just give an option to de-sense the phone somehow. If I had a pure-Google experience I wouldn't even need to root my phone.

Again why buy HTC then. The hardware specs are available in many other phones. IMHO.

Not many other phones have 1.5GHz stock, only on the XE. And the build quality is better, so is Android Development etc.

i bought it because of the qhd screen, also i like my devices to have some weight and feel sturdy something which other manufactures seem to not understand how to do

I like sense ...its gives the brand of HTC...I prefer look/feel and performance both so HTC with custom roms is perfect for me
Coming from iphone4 I used to have cheap opinion of android (yeah I know I'm little over my head when I had iPhone4) but once I got this little beast on my hands I'm baffled (the rich looking HTC sense and powerful beast inside)
I'm more than amazed ..may be I'm liking sense coz this is my first android phone but right now I feel like sense is a must for a HTC phone....when others look at my phone they'll just know its HTC
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA

Normally I'd take AOSP over Sense any day, but these AOSP ROMs always have some large turnoff that I don't want to mess with. I've been pretty fine with Sense 4.0 though.

Im using jelly bean on my old nexus.

I have to say jelly bean blows this sense bs out of the water. I cant wait to have it on my one x, mostly just to use Google now. Its so nice and fast and actually useful. I can set all my alarms without even looking at the phone!
Holding out for source code. Hopefully it will comes quickly. Having come from several previous htc devices, I should be used to this long wait for source bullshhh by now.

Really, setting your alarms without looking at the screen? To be perfectly honest it doesn't seem all that beneficial.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I would kill to have stock jelly bean working on the one x. I'm starting to really dislike sense because of it's memory hogging. I can't think of a single feature it adds to stock android other than the ability to remove some home screens.

I buy htc solely for hardware. Been doing it since the apache. Using custom roms since the touch pro. Like the hardware. Don't mind sense but would love to do without it.
Plus I hate how sense has to add notes to all my contacts.

Because, we buy the phone for the hardware. This is xda-developers... We'll get the software we want on our devices one way or another.

Because a lot of us are just in it for the hardware. I don't want a Nexus (though I have been quite tempted) in fact, the ROM I *want* to use is MIUI. However, since we do not yet have kernel source that is not 100% ready for me and I also don't want to lose the Sense burst camera.
I don't hate Sense, in fact it was my first Android experience (HTC Aria) when I first switched to CyanogenMod, I thought "Where did my beautiful clock and Facebook widget go?!"
Then I got over it. If one doesn't take advantage of a majority of the things that Sense has to offer, they simply have no reason to keep it on their phone. I fall into that category.
I promise, if there had been a version of the HTC One X without Sense, I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat. It's the most beautiful phone screen I have ever used, and I like the general design. My only complaint is no memory card slot.
What you're saying is: If you don't like Touchwiz, don't buy Samsung. If you don't like Timescape, don't buy Sony. If you don't like Sense, don't buy HTC, and if you don't like Blur, don't buy Motorola.
It isn't that simple because some of us dislike them all. I happen to fall into that category, but if I have to pick my poison it is definitely Sense.
We buy the phone despite Sense because we know that there will eventually be the opportunity to remove it.
It's great hardware, and Android devices are rarely stuck on the manufacturer's software

Thanks. That sir is a good answer. Ive been asking people y they would buy a phone knowing its sense, and then complain about it. Just funny 2 me ya know. ;-) but i got flamed for asking the question...........even got called a troll!! Ha ha ha!!!!! Funny!!!!! But ya man, thats all they had to say, instead of getting all sad, and calling people names!

Same here. This is the sexiest device on the market by far. A little low on the internal storage, but this is like saying a 10/10 drop dead gorgeous model isn't any good because her titties are only a B cup.
I was hoping we'd have the kernel source by now so we could get some real custom ROMs on here and not just modded stock ROMs. I do appreciate the mods and hacks but I'm talking about CM9, AOSP/AOKP, etc. Very disappointed with HTC because of their constant neglect. Almost thinking of selling this device and getting a Galaxy Nexus again.

Ok maybe i should have asked.......y do people complain about having sense knowing thats indeed what they bought. I love sense, and sense 4.0 is sexy!!!!

Same as posted before, I bought it because it was priced well, and I don't care for any manufacturer overlay tbh. My first android was the original evo, loved it, but then I found cyanogenmod, and loved it even more. That's what's great about android you can get custom roms, and have it the way you like it.
Also sense has changed a lot lately it use to be able to multitask just like default android, but HTC in sense 4 changed that which, imo, is a reason to be able to complain. Why change something that never had a peoblem.

Have you tried a 100% working cyanogenmod, or miui? Your mind might change if you haven't.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Thanks I don't really think there is anything wrong with Sense 4.0 in fact, I like it. I just know that I don't use it.
I'm going to use Apex or Nova Launcher for sure (I frequently swap between the two) then I lose the Sense widgets.
I would rather use Widget Locker so the Sense lockscreens (despite being pretty cool) become useless. (Not using WL now though because of the multitouch issue it causes)
People just want to get the extra memory it uses back. You're right though, Sense 4.0 is pretty nice in my opinion. Not really much to not like, but if you don't use it it turns into wasted resources.
and I think everyone has to admit, the Sense camera is delightful

Nope, you're annoying because you quoted the same person on the same post in two different posts and still added absolutely nothing to the thread.
I personally like Sense, definitely a whole lot more than I do touchwiz since I came from a Samsung Captivate. That being said, I am very interested in trying out a complete "Google Experience" with Jelly Bean.
