Why would one use sense launcher?? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Takes 100mb memory and looks depressing with its old layout and theme..

Because I love sense best android overlay out there

Theres hundreds if not thousands that would disagree with you. The sense launcher IMO is the most polished and smooth, I dont notice any lag like others claim. Just out of curiosity, what launcher do you prefer over sense?

Ive never really liked Sense until Sense4 came out. Sense4 is really nice, polished and fluid.

Cause its actually pretty good.
Free memory= waste.

Sense is alright, I prefer apex/nova

used to like stock android for past 3 years... but now.. i just cant go to the same boring looking of stock android after using sense 4
anyone with me?

Sense is more than just a launcher. it's a whole framework too.
Sense is the main reason I still buy HTC devices.
It's a matter of taste and opinion. If you don't like it, that's fine. Plenty of others still do.

This thread isn't very productive and it only lends itself to banterous flaming. Closing down.

Very First Sense Rom For The G2X.

Am i the only one that would like to see a sense rom on our G2x? I think it would look pretty sick. I know we are early in the development stages, but do you guys think we will get one? If so what port or sense like rom would you LOVE to see on this device.
Sense was cool for a few days for me but i don't prefer it. Now i like the pure androidness But the g2x is pretty popular so i'm sure we'll have a sense rom.
There is a sense launcher

AFAIK Sense is built specifically for HTC hardware specs and there is no source code for it so porting it over would be extremely hard.
Just ordered the G2x , switching from blackberry
Hi,
I had enough of blackberry and enough of AT&T so im switching to Android . Soooo.. What is Sense rom and touchwiz?
Sense is the custom interface HTC puts on all their phones. Touchwiz is Samsungs UI. They do it to try and set their phones apart from one another in a market full of android phones. You dont have to use them though if you dont like them.

I'm pretty sure you can put the TouchWiz Launcher on any phone. I'm almost positive that I had installed it on my Nexus One but removed that crap within seconds.
I know for a fact I installed LG's launcher too.
Most of that stuff isn't anything but a bunch of fluff. While I prefer Stock, I do know that Sense is actually built into the rom more ways then one and you have to have the whole rom built around it.

i think they jsut gave out an sdk to make apps that will only work on sense devices.
if you like sense try out go launcher. it has much of what sense does without the lag. the weather app and live wallpaper is as awesome as sense(maybe not as the new weather animations) dont know but they are pretty good.
kinda a mix betwen muiu/apple and sense. its a really good launcher and has all accompaning apps to go with it.

sense 3.0 YES!!!!
i would love a sense rom on this phone! not a fan of gb or cm7. they are good roms but sense is nice and even if takes resources the g2x has plenty to spare, wouldnt affect much on it. my hd2 ran sense beautifully and as bad ass a phone as it was it wasnt quite the powerhouse i have now. sense would be nice addition to the rom dev for those of us who enjoy that type of ui.
thanks in advance to any devs that work on a sense rom for this phone
I cant believe ya really dont want sense one this beautiful phone >_>
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
+1 To this. A wide range of roms for a wide range of people is what we need on a phone. Sense brings a lot of features that stock doesn't have and an ease of use that people like. I'm looking forward to sense on the g2x,and miui, and gs2 twiz, etc. bring on the variety!
i would like to test different roms on this phone. i like miui, gingerbread, aosp, and sense. You know what i dont like STOCK. so lets bring whatever roms we can get to our side. If we didnt have ANY ROMS to flash people would be complaining. Be grateful. I dont really see what the big dispute is about. If you dont like it DONT FLASH IT. Problem solved. Some builds bring different things to the device. Gingerbread doesnt cover everything. Whatever rom is posted i flash it, if i dont like it i flash back. Some of you just want to be difficult.
Heck yeah I would want sense. CM7 is nice. If they get sense ported on here, I bet it will be faster than the sensation. The sensation only gets like 1300 in quadrant. Don't give me that quadrant isn't optimized for gingerbread cause it is. I'm sure this phone would be like 2000 via quadrant with sense added
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I love CM7 but when I wanna show off to my buddies I'll flash a sense rom. So 95% of the time CM7 will be installed. I just like having alot of rom options. Also as many roms/kernels as possible.
what!
did he say hd2 ran sense beautifully? what magical phone did he have? lol

Miui vs Sense 3.0/3.5

Go! Personally I am using Miui right now. I started on VU and then gave Miui a try. It feels a but quicker on Miui and their seems to be a lot more customization
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Oh boy. I see this going south. I LOVE miui because it has sms popups, themes galore, a nice dialer, and awesome support.
Sense is beautiful, has many variations, the system apps and widgets go on forever, and it really shows off what android is capable of visually. That said, it seems to take a tremendous amount of work by devs to make sense ROMs easy on the ol' battery. That, from my point of view makes them bloated. But, they can be made into fantastic daily drivers as has been shown repeatedly.
Lately I've used MIUI.

You probably think that TJ is being harsh and ruining a fun thing. But you have to take into account that redundant threads like this pollutes the site and when a noob tries to do the right thing and search for a thread he/she needs it'll be harder to find. And all he/she will do is ask the question in a thread that's been answered many times. Thus, it all just creates the circle of problems.
Powered by a G2x
I ran both.
MIUI on Nexus One, which is incapable of properly running even Sense 2.1, having no devs to completely solve everything (trackball wake) and no graphical power to move it smoothly.
Sense 3.0 on MT4G, which is capable of running it fast and smooth.
Personally, I prefer Sense - it is visually and functionally better. While MIUI fixes a lot of things that stock Android did wrong (T9 dialer, notification bar toggles, launcher - in the aspect of adding widgets, smoothness and effects), it still falls short when it comes to Email, text selection (standard Android has selection position bugs and isn't nearly as comfortable as Sense), and just overall visual experience. But MIUI is small and fast, and on older phones it counts - and it supports A LOT of phones that have no better options. So, for me, if the phone can't run Sense or TouchWiz properly - MIUI would be the next best thing to choose.
I go to miui once in a while but find myself coming back to sense 3.0/3.5 only because its just so awesome... Sense is hands down the best thing that happened to android it adds so much to android... Basic stuff like browser ,mail, contacts integration made perfect.... Sense makes android beautiful with brains but miui on the other side is definitely for lower power phones like say moto defy or something like that... Btw love both of them

Sense 4.0 ugly

Am I the only one who passionately HATES the new clock widget on the HTC OneX? Ugh... www.htc.com
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using XDA App
No you are not the only one. The new widget style is very awful IMHO!
thats the future
IMHO 4 is much more beautiful especially clock
Really?
I think it looks a lot cleaner and slicker.
i really like the new clock..however for the ones who don't like it there will be mods for it don't worry
I think it's nice that, after four years, HTC has actually employed a graphic designer to redo their user interface.
The previous Sense, all the way to version 3.6, was contoured, cartoony and outsized. Sense 4.0 is much more refined, less cluttered and has all of the gradient-bubbles removed so it looks a lot more professional.
I think the Sense 4.0 haters will be in the minority. Plus, the default backgrounds are being changed to some nice photos instead of that rainbow stuff on previous ROMs.
Small changes, but I like them, and it makes HTC look like they're actually evolving from what they started out with. One of the biggest gripes in the Sensation reviews was that Sense was fundamentally unchanged from the HTC Hero. Everyday users know this isn't true, but now it'll be more obvious.
I like the rainbow stuff to me it looks really nice

Don't get me wrong, I love some of the new wallpapers in 4.0, but that clock was literally a kill joy for me! I was AOL excited about sense 4, and I tried out trip's endeavour port, but was grossly disappointed. Not by the from, it is quite good, but the UI! The menu animations are really amateur looking, and the clock actually looks like a crappy imitation of the sense clock IMO ( *.*)

That's not what I meant. I meant they've rejigged their design philosophy, possibly by taking on an outside agency, possibly by restaffing their interior department. I don't think a single person designs anything - graphic designer, in my post, referred to the firm or department that made Sense 4.0 fit better with ICS's design philosophy.

Do you like TouchWiz?!

So far, I installed TouchWiz, the Launcher for Samsung galaxy smartphones via recovery
Personally like this feature/mod! It's not laggy and it gives me 1 clock widget from Samsung, but deletes my current clock widgets...
Style is beautiful, but don't gives an Icon Pack!

I hate TouchWiz. Maybe that's also because I hate Samsung devices in general
My common configuration is a Sense based ROM without Sense. In fact it's without the Launcher (Prism.apk).
As Launcher I use Nova. Love the combination of speed and animation with it. Also it's very low on power consumption. TouchWiz also has a very stock look but I dont like the design elements in settings, notification bar and so on. The extra features it provides I dont miss... with Xposed Framework I get everything I need.
I really don't like the touchwiz too. Sense 5 is perfect for me
Imo touchwiz looks like a 5 year old made it in art class in the last five minutes of class I love how sense looks it's a really nice ui

No. Too cartoonish and immature looking. That's one thing why i don't and will never buy a samsung device.

I cant even think of the immature touchwiz UI after using sense for the past 3+ years....
Recently switched from HTC One S running Sense 5 ROM, to the Galaxy S4
I dont mind the look of the icons, it's not like I'm staring at my screen 24/7
