Hi!
Is there a way to disable 3D Barrel effect when changing homescreens in Sense 3.0 ? Other launchers works much smoother and faster but there is lack of HTC widgets...

I also asked for this. I believe it's not possible.

Just go with another launcher. For each HTC widget, there's always a much better alternative/equivalent in the Market. Plus, you get the advantage of a much more configurable, smoother launcher with better transition effects, transparency, skins, etc, etc.

Thanks. I would go for Launcher Pro, because its widgets are similar to HTC's (f.e. big, slightly transparent Agenda), but there is no good HTC clock widget. I found in the Market app named LP Sense Skin + Clock Widget, but this clock is not optimized for qHD
Another thing that annoys me is the HTC dock in the lockscreen and another android dock in Launcher Pro in homescreen. Is there a way to change lockscreen in Sense 3.0?
I wish there was an option to turn these animations off...
Well I guess LauncherPro is the exception in that it comes with its own widgets. Most home screen replacements are just the launcher, and you use your own widgets.
If it helps, here are some equivalents:
HTC Clock > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Weather > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Toggle Widgets > Beautiful Widgets
HTC Agenda > Android Agenda Widget
HTC Calendar View > Pure Calendar Widget
HTC FriendStream > Tweetdeck
I actually quite like still having the HTC lockscreen with its four shortcuts, and then a different set of shortcuts in ADWLauncher.EX.
As you're discovering right now, Sense 3.0 isn't very configurable at all.
I want both lol. LauncherPro Plus and Sense 3.0. LPP for the configurability and just general awesomeness, but Sense 3.0 for the app drawer and dock that LPP can't have
Can we use Sense 2.1 Launcher to disable that 3D effect?
I don't have Sensation right now. Can anyone try that with a dumb sense launcher.apk from Incredible S etc.?
I can't stand the bloody carousel effect when unlocking the device either. Just a time waste!
I seriously don't get it why htc wouldn't want let us get rid of this absurd effect!!!
For the rest, I'd rather not change for another launcher, I quite like the widgets and such. But wish htc would read us and provide a more configurable update some time later.

Yeah, widgets. Thats why I asked the question above. I hope someone may try.
I went for LauncherPro. It is very configurable (number of columns, rows etc), much faster and smoother than Sense and has very similar widgets to HTC's (Friends, Calendar, Bookmarks).
For HTC like weather clock I went for Beautiful Widgets and its SuperClock.
Yes you can configure which screen and widgets to use on the lock screen.
Select Personalize, Lock screen, and you can select a number of screens and change the widgets to others. There are lock screen for wallpaper, weather (I like), photos, etc. On the clock one, you can press Settings and select one of the alternative clocks.
Very cool

OMFG. Here, i am looking for a launcher(tell me if you know one) or ROM that replicates the effect on my desire s, and you guys want to remove it??
The carousel unlock effect is truly annoying.
On the Nexus One I had the nice CRT TV screen-off effect which is good, because its an effect/waste of time AFTER you've done working with your phone and want to lock it. This is the time for graphic flourishes.
HTC instead do a nice effect when I unlock the phone, that is when I want to use the phone immediately, but I get a little waste of time effect instead.
In summary - do the fun graphic stuff when I want to lock (done using the phone, wouldn't mind seeing something cool), as opposed to doing fun graphic stuff when i unlock (when I want to use the phone immediately and really don't want to see any superficial flourishes!).
Is there a clock widget that looks EXACTLY the same as the Sense one? Old version of Fancy Widgets was, but they changed it. So is it possible to just download the old version (apk) and install it?
weather & toggle widget.. download that
download h7c clock within the app
best htc clock out there imo

+1 but the weather animations can be a bit annoying seeing as they occur whenever the phone is unlocked, to any screen, for any reason.I used to use this on my MT3G Slide and I was pretty satisfied with it, though nothing really compares to sense IMO.

Looks awesome... Will try it, thanks.
There is NO widget I can find to replace the htc gallery widget! It's very annoying

Just change "show all animations" to "show some animations" in Menu->Settings->Display. That will take care of that.

I have fancy widgets pro APK and I put it on SD card and installed, but it force closes. I think it is not compatable with the QHD screen.
Hi guys
I'm a total 'droid n00b so please be gentle with me.
I know I have seen Android devices which kinda "spread" an oversized wallpaper across all the home screens so that scrolling through the home screens also scrolls across the wallpaper. I just tried to set an oversized wallpaper and it made me crop it to the screen res
Is this a feature which is only available on some phones, or is there a tweak you have to load first... or am I totally blowing it out of my arse and the whole thing is a figment of my imagination?

get rid of Sense by replacing it with ADW Launcher. It will allow you to crop a wallpaper correctly for your home screen and it runs WAY faster with a ton more features. I would also recommend getting the paid version of the app. You can get it from Market.
also.. after you get ADW and are running it... go into Accounts & Sync in your settings and disable all of the Sense stuff.
edit: thought i should also add this recommendation. if you like the sense widgets and hate to part with them. or the weather clock...etc. you can get an app from market called Beautiful Widgets. it runs way faster than sense and does the same stuff... again with more options.
Errr.... that's all very nice but how does it relate to my question?
It is sense that is causing the wallpaper to display as it is, change sense back to the android stock option by removing sense will then enable the wallpaper you wanted.

In response to your original question, most Android devices and versions do spread the wallpaper across all the home screens, including older versions of Sense. Sense 3.0 however uses vertical wallpapers that do not scroll, it is a new feature in this version. I imagine they did it because of the 3D rotation of the home screens and it would make stretched wallpapers look weird when swiping, but who knows.
It would be pretty complex to have each screen with its own section of the wallpaper seperate, spin, slow and expand, and finally rest at the ending homescreen.

Thanks Cyberstorm98 - I shall lobby HTC and see if they'll make it an option when anims are off.
I'm running a (more or less) stock / unrooted AT&T Skyrocket. I upgraded from the Infuse 4G. It was easy to remove the lock screen wallpaper on it, as it was simply done by setting lock screen wallpaper to none. The option isn't on the Skyrocket. Is there a way to remove the lock screen wallpaper (So live wallpaper is shown) without running a second locker?
I tried Go Locker, and occasionally it would cause me to have to unlock 2 screens... I'd prefer not to fix one problem by creating another. Any help is greatly appreciated...and yes I searched but no one has asked this before.
Menu... Settings... Display.... Screen Display... Lockscreen Wallpaper. You can set to various Wallpaper Gallery images or image in your Gallery. I'm on 2.3.6 so not sure if this option exists on 2.3.5 guessing it does as well.
Do what the Guy says above. If you're like me and can't stand the stock lockscreen swipe, try widget locker... really nice customizable lockscreen app. You can completely customize the lockscreen. Slider style, wallpaper brighthtness and all.
And it disables the stock lockscreen.

I want the lock screen, I use the pattern lock.
I want to REMOVE the wallpaper. I want the lock screen translucent like it was on my infuse. The option to set a gallery image is there. But the "none" option is missing.

I suppose maybe I should pay someone to create an app that does this.
Search for transparent lock screen zip
I know it exists...it is on most of the T-Mobile roms

It seems that it is not possible to have different wallpapers for home and lock screens using standard capabilities of HTC Sense. However, this topic may give you some ideas how to get what you want.
Go to personalize - display - lockscreen style. Choose wallpaper and hit settings. Then you can choose between "use home wallpaper" and "use custom wallpaper". Choose the custom wallpaper you want to and this will be shown as the lockscreen wallpaper. Can be another one than the one for the home screen

It is entirely possible to have two different wallpapers, however I don't think it is possible to have a Live Wallpaper at the lockscreen and a static wallpaper at the desktop. It is possible to have a Live Wallpaper at desktop and a static one at the lockscreen though.
The person above me had already posted the solution so I shall elaborate no further. Cheers
So yeah, I installed the Fallout v3 ICS rom and I can't change lockscren wallpaper, the option just isn't there in the settings. Anyone else able to set a custom wallpaper for their lockscreens? If so, what ROM are you using?
I changed my wallpaper to a custom image (a photo I had taken on my phone) and it replaced the lock screen as well.
System Settings > Personalize > Wallpaper > Gallery
Not sure if its supposed to do that but it did, only been running Fallout v3.0 for 1 day so still learning but so far its a great rom, very stable.
On fallout there is no possibility to have two different wallpapers on home screen and lock screen.
The lock screen icons and wallpaper will always depend on your home screen and the dock icons
Yeah, that's Sense 4.0A for you! No Lock screen wallpapers, No customizable shortcut icons...

Decided to go back to a sense 3.6 rom.
Went AOKP for a bit....the lack of sms preview on the lockscreen annoyed me. Spent an entire day flashing, and set up different roms! Ah well, I'll just stick with this until HTC do an official release
For anyone that cares, the new v4 of the fallout rom solved all these issues
