On my evo3D I get Sense version update but can not find a Sense version in my Transformer "About".
Is Sense something not for us or for tablets?
Sense is specific to HTC products, since this is an ASUS tablet they don't have it. The Sense widgets are extremely useful and many can be replaced by others in the market like "beautiful widgets" but others can't unfortunately.
I oftentimes forget how confusing Android can be to an outsider. But Sense is an overlay that HTC uses to differentiate themselves from others on their products. What you get on the Transformer series is a relatively stock Android experience with a few features added on to take advantage of the tablet by ASUS.

Why would you even want sense? Its bloated, slow and ugly.
I got b& at /g/ for sh!tposting ;_;
To be perfectly honest, I love the Sense interface on my HTC EVO V 4G. It's *very* smooth and fast. It's the first time I've used/owned an HTC product and I must say, it's a very professional, clean and fast interface!
Not saying that a Sense interface would be a good thing on the TF700, but who knows - I was rather impressed with the phone!

I have only ever used HTC phones because I prefer Sense. I've never had a problem with Sense being bloated or slow. And it is your opinion that it is ugly. You are welcome to your opinion. I personally think Sense looks great. That being said, I don't think this tablet needs Sense. One of the reasons I like Asus tablets is they barely skin the UI.

I have an evo 3d as well. As others have said Sence in specific to HTC. Although I would disagree it is bloated and slow. From my experience, I would say it is the next best thing to nexus experience for phones at least. The newest version of sence is very unintrusive. If you do really like it though I think there are some custom roms out to mimic the experience!

Wow, so many fellow evo 3d users in here. I guess not everyone hates sense with a passion
Like others :
I have an evo3d, I love sense (useful, beautiful, and fast imho )
And I miss it on my TF700
Why would you want sense when you can have aosp?

I love sense on both my 3D and LTE. Would be cool to have something like that on a tablet, but the HTC tabs were not good enough when they came out last time. Supposedly they have a higher end one in the works. Would be interested to check it out down the road.

On my phone, Sense runs smoother and looks better than any other interface I've seen/used on a phone. Period.
Haven't used Sense on a tablet, so can't comment on that...

I like Sense over any other UI by other companies. It's one of the reasons I went with the LTE instead of the GS3. But everyone does have their opinion. There are quite a number of apps that replicate the Sense look in the market (play store, whatever).

Why would you want AOSP if Sense is an option? Simple.... Personal preference. I like sense and I've used AOSP extensively. Of course, with ICS on a tablet Sense seams a little unnecessary.

So I'm so confused .
I come from using an iPhone .
HTC sensation is my 1st android phone and i love it.
I have rooted and started messing with all the roms.
I don't understanc why everyone hates the sence UI. ??
I love it.
Nonsense is boring and plain .
Can someone plz explain to me why everyone wants a none sence rom.
I am using RCmix and its quick and fast even with a sense UI.

It's bloated and takes up more RAM. The visual appeal does not make up for its relatively poor performance compared to AOSP ROMs.
Ahh can't wait to use an aosp apps and roms

Its not as customizable as I like. I like having a dock with 4 apps that I can change and I also like having the ability to change my icons so I use ADW. Purchase ADW EX from the market and you will not be disappointed. Its like having a grand new phone. It will be the fastest thing you've ever seen. Sense has too much eye candy which makes the UI nit as fast as it could be.

It's not that people hate it, it's a very nice UI, but it lags a lot especially on the sensation. Sense takes up to much memory.

No, I absolutely hate it. It has no redeeming qualities over CyanogenMod.

I absolutely love it! Its pretty much the only reason why i bought sensation.
I can't understand why would people buy sensation if they dont like sense. They can simply buy samsung galaxy s II which offers better hardware and performance, and its not coming with sense.

You are correct, except the excellent performance of the GS2 comes in a pathetic, cheap candy plastic shell. Personally I got the Sensation because I was a fan of the design, and have a preference for LCD over AMOLED screens.
No phone will be all things to all people The first thing I did was stick LauncherPro on the Sensation. My stock ROM (Telstra version) was horribly laggy, and performance way under what I expected. Now at least it's fluid enough for everyday use.
YMMV of course, but Sense 3.0 to me is way too heavy on the eye-candy and doodads, while offering little in terms of an upgrade over 2.1. The lockscreen is its one redeeming feature

Galaxy S2 - $800+ , have to import, who knows about warranty.
Sensation - $150 with contract, available in store, warranty.
I bought Sensation because of it's hardware and looks. Stock build is utter disappointment to me. I will happily admit that I had less lag with my single core MT4g with stock rom or CM7 rom and, IMHO, Sense 3.0 it it's current form is the only thing to blame.
For me, Sensation without Sense is just not right. I'm not exactly sure what people mean by lags. I've tried AOSP and MIUI roms and in all honesty, the difference between them and Sense is hardly noticeable. On a beast like the the Sensation, now that we have root and S-off there shall be cooked roms with Sense that will simply fly. In any case, the polished look of Sense 3.0 and its fantastic widgets are simply worth any so called lags, which I am yet to experience, from HD2 Android, Desire HD and now Sensation.

I know I'm not along when I say I like pretty much everything about Sense except the launcher. Luckily that's the easiest thing to change and you don't even need root. I installed launcher pro day 1 and still get to enjoy the sense lock screen, dialer, etc.
No Sense for me is like Non-sense

Sense roms are usually well over 200mb. With Sense you're lucky if you have 100mb of free ram with no other apps running.
AOSP roms are usually around 100mb. With cm7 I have 280mb of free ram with XDA app in the background.
AOSP roms fly compared to Sense and I actually prefer the ui of pure Android.

No matter how much the devs optimize sense it will still be much slower, far more bloated and barely customizable in comparison. Having some cute weather animations isn't worth it to many of us who bought it purely for the hardware specs knowing that as soon as root came around sense would be happily replaced with a AOSP ROM.
Coming from an iPhone I can see why you prefer a lack of customization in place of a little eye candy. It's what you're used to and your preference. Some people buy Porsche for its 0-60 time and others because of those sexy curves, It's just preference.

Well said. But you forget that the Boxster got spanked by the little Honda S-2000 when Car and Driver tested them. AOSP being Honda and Sense being Porsche.

I don't like Sense and never have. I like a more vanilla look. The only reason I purchased the Sensation is because I wanted a 4.3 inch display and a dual core CPU. Ill get the SGSII variant once it gets to T-Mobile.

I thought about getting a HD2 just for the large display.
i hate sense, it just doesnt not look current. It looks like it was design in 2005 which probably was.... First thing i do on an android phone is put launcher pro... The performance changed completely. I cannot wait to put CM7 on mine because even with sense on this thing and launcher pro its still not as smooth as my Nexus one was...

Haha, that's a good point.
Get my TF300 tomorrow. Is it possible to get 100% plain ICS 4.0.4 on the TF300? The one that would basically come straight from Google and not from Asus?
There are a couple 4.0.4 ROMs available to include CM9 and AOKP. Head over to the development section and check out the posts. Other than that, that's all we have for the 300 at this time.
Well to be honest the stock rom is pretty close to asop.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
Yeah after reading some reviews on the TF300 that is one thing they did mention that it pretty much runs stock ICS with only a few things thrown in from Asus...
The transformer pretty much comes with Vanilla ICS, with a few widgets and apps from ASUS which are all completely removable.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda premium
Yeah. Asus devices have very light skins over stock Android. Unlike HTC sense, SAMSUNG touchwiz, or motorblur. This is my first asus device and I'm impressed.

Since the tf 700 is just about the same as the other ones in hardware (tf300 and tf201) , are their roms or kernels compatible to flag and help this bad boy out ?
Sent from my Gameboy Color
They're not compatible, if you flash a prime or TF300 rom you'll probably brick. However, development for those tablets will help out the TF700 since they are pretty similar.
Hopefully its just A matter of changing the kernel.

I'm sure developers will simply port some of their ROMs overall and have feature parity shortly. There are some changes and drivers they would have to make.

+1 -- it's probably down to the nitty-gritty small details.
I'm new to the table and I'm on CleanRom 2.7 (1.8ghz kernel) which is amazing fast! Anyone suggest anything better? Just curious!
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Nothing compares/comes close to how great CleanRom is. I've tried all of them, but CleanRom just always outperforms the rest. But this is only my experience. If you really wanna know which is best, you'd have try them all to compare for yourself. And, make decision based on your own experience.
Thanks bro! Your answer is what I wanted to hear!

Clean rom Inheretence 2.7 is blazin fast !!
ParanoidAndroid with the Untermensch kernel is working great for me. I've been running it since the day I bought my tablet (2 weeks) and haven't had any issues. I've been getting some great benchmark scores too.
every available version of clean rom has failed to flash for me
and how does cleanrom battery life compare with the stock 4.1.1?
I'm still not fully convinced to root and flash my TF300.
Haven't came across a 100% for sure noob proof guide as to getting to that stage.
I'm not seeing an awful lot of updates for some of the roms, maybe I'm missing something...

Same as you man, seems very complicated compared to my phone.
I mean the tf300 has a quad core lol, it can handle anything with 4.1.1 but I'm a perfectionist gah.

The best ROM is the one that works best for YOU, and your personal app selection. What may work for most, may not have the features you need.. Only you can take the time and find what is best.

There's a thread for this but the answer is so simply I might as well answer.
Nexus 4 all the way.
Much better CPU, double the RAM, more development, always updated, no LG skinning, better build (well it depends, the glass on the back is beautiful but prone to shattering), etc.
Why lg has no good performance?.?

AW: Nexus 4 or LG Optimus 4X HD ?!

The Snapdragon S4 Pro and Adreno 320 on the Nexus 4 is more powerful than Tegra 3. Ive never had issues with lag on games, and I play 2K13, GTA, and Real Racing 3. Having 2 gb of RAM helps too.
