ARHD 6.5.1XE
Sense 3.6
Version 4.0.3
Ok, pretty sure I rooted the phone properly(no problems at all, besides battery) and did all the right wipes and what not, just too noob to detail it the right way.
Have tried to calibrate the battery to no avail. Used Current Widget, waited till 0 mA then deleted batterystats.bin with root explorer...also tried it using battery calibration app.
So, my next guess is Sense. I have read its a battery hog...how exactly do I remove it? And will that effect my one gmail account? I also don't use the Sense FB or Twitter, I use the offical apps...not sure if those work without sense either...

The battery drainer is sense account.. Not sense launcher
If you have htc sense account just remove it
To check for it
Go to settings-accounts and sync
If there is htc sense account there just delete the account. It's a hella battery drainer
To remove sense launcher .. There is an easy way.. Just use another launcher..
Apex launcher, go ex launcher Or any other

Try this aosp mod,it will remove sense from ur phone. before doing anything make a backup of ur phone and have 4ext recovery..
Link Here to the Post
I would also encourage you to just use a different launcher and remove the Sense account. The Sense camera, contacts, and lockscreen are far superior to stock.
I'm running OrDroid w/ Sense 4.0 on my Sensation and get great battery life.

see my previous post in this same thread for removing sense account.
for launchers
i found nova launcher and apex launcher equally good (just down load the apps and run them )
So I looked under accounts and sync and I actually don't even have a Sense account synced...only my gmail, FB, Twitter, and Weather. I'm not exactly sure what you all who say the sense launcher are talking about...but I do know I have 4ext recovery. Anyways...I can't figure this battery out at all...Spare Parts shows HTC Sense on the very top in my usage statistics...and on my battery history graph it shows a near complete solid bar on Awake, even when screen is off...but my battery has only been in 50 min since last reboot. I stopped using this phone a few days b/c the battery life issue. Perhaps I need to hang around a battery thread and post some screen shots to get help

I'd try a senseless rom, ie virtuous or hypernonsense.

If you want to remove Sense, you have to root and install a custom ROM.
I like this ICS Rom, and I don't want to lose a lot of the features it has, particularly the stock camera. It claims to have great battery life. I think I just have to get to the bottom of it, then I'll be happy. But the current battery life makes it almost useless when I am away from home.

Hey, you can get launcher pro plus which has good widgets, also you can use Fancy Widget for the clock..
But as you can use a proper HTC Sense rom why don't you use that?
Try the paid version of launcher pro.

You could always use an app called Beautiful Widgets. It's gorgeous and looks almost identical to the HTC widget.

I tried that one as well Today i will try another sense build, if that one drains my battery i will go back to the one i had first with 14 % drain overnight 6-7 hours.
The latest one had 35% drain on 6 hours.
What is a normal drain on a real Android with sense?

With 3G turned on all night and background syncing in place, I wouldn't be at all surprised to lose 14%, especially on a 3rd party ROM on a 3rd party device such as you're using. 35% on the other hand, is ridiculous.

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.
Does using something like adw or a gingerbread launcher slow down the performance of the phone compared to the stock HTC sense and also is there any point in using them
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
nope, they don't slow down much, but Sense launcher is waaaaaaaaaaaay better than any other launcher IMO, but it's a matter of personal choice.

Sry to say, but go launcher & adw have much more possibilities to modify (groups/folders in appdrawer is just one from a few) and go launcher is also an eyecandy and has like sense his own widget set (including skins) for contacts etc.
But like you said it's a matter of personal choice^^

Hey, it's a Desire S, Launchers can't slow us down!
Seriously, I haven't encountered (yet) slowness using launchers. I am only using Go Launcher EX though.
I am a fan of Go Launcher myself, but recently tried Launcher Pro again... and I must say I was blown away... I have Superkids MIUI installed which runs incredibly smooth and snappy and together with Launcher Pro the best combination I ever had on my DS. IMHO Sense is just a waste of space and resources...

Yeah if you want to use a launcher use an aosp rom. Sense will still be running and will also be killing your battery

It's possible with a goldcard, but with this you only can get temp root, that means you have to root it again after each restart.
If your interested in the procedure, look at the index thread.

Hi all
I'm very torn as to which ROM I stay on.
I've been switching between Viper ROM & CM10. Both are awesome ROMs but I can't decide which I prefer more.
I really like the integration that sense gives you over AOSP but can't get away from the fact that CM 10 is giving amazing battery life.
If anyone can steer me in any direction I'd appreciate it.

Im on jb because its smooth and stable.
Sense has great options. But so does cmx
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Nobody can really make the descision for you. You need to decide which is more important for you, good intergration of apps, or better battery life? After that, it's an easy choice to make.
I really like both for those reasons, back on viper again now will probably check CMX soon
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
why not just keep both on your phone and change to which ever one you fancy with boot manager................sudeki300
Go with one and commit to it. It's like when you're dating two girls at once, and they're both great, but eventually you have to pick one or the other. You're playing with their emotions. Do you want the bust y blonde in sense, or the amazing personality brunette with maybe some aesthetic flaws? You just have to tell one to take a hike and go all in with the other. Pimp out CM10, enjoy Sense 4s beauty, whatever.
For me, I'm a CM10 guy even though sense is much better for organizational purposes right of the bat. But the thing is, I can organize just fine with CM10, just takes a little more customization.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
That's a fantastic way to put it. I'm going to try CMX and few different launches, any recommend launches, reading loads of post but personal experience is alway more valuable

I stick with Sense because Wifi-calling is a must for me, but if cm10 had that, I would definitely head in that direction.

The deal breaker for me is wifi-calling. When that exists on jellybean, then I will switch.

I'm on Sense 4 and I don't plan on going to JB unless we get an official kernel or ffc is fixed.
My memory card have 15gb of full hd songs...so sense is good for me because playback of some codec in every player sucks in cmx....And the customization of viper also attracts me...so am in viper

Sense just feels more fluid and connected. For example, clock weather widget, tap on the time and it takes you straight to alarm clock,timer,stop watch. Tap the weather and you get the forecast.
To achieve the same on an AOSP Rom, needed to find a clock widget (fancy sense) then a timer and stop watch app, then a weather app and then set the widget up to open the secondary apps.

My whole life I've used AOSP until about 2 months ago. With sense I feel the phone is just more intact, by that I mean stuff just works. Like the kernel has no hacks or whatever, all the libs are there, all the kernel codes, hardware and software seem to cooperate more. I personally feel the sensation was meant to run sense, despite not liking the aesthetic look, everything is fluid and works wonderful

I find stable android 4.2 to my htc one x+. At first - I install rom from maxwell. AOSP 4.2 - 0.1b. Great rom, but battery is ill. Wi-fi is off, mobile data is on, gps and I.t.c. is off. Screen is off all day. From 6am to 9pm -from 100% I have 7%. CM10.1 is better for it, but it have unworkable tourch and I can't use all my widgets in lockscreen(I can't fond it). I want senseless rom. Please help
I know my answer isnt what youre looking for exactly but what ive done to my phone is flash ARHD rom then i installed Nova launcher ( you can use any othet launcher that you like) and then through titanium backup uninstalled sense from the phone. Maybe this will be a good substitute for you.
