No ofc not...
Useless thread here too bad you can't report in tapatalk...

I like it after ICS. But still I change it to get some variation before ics I couldn't stand it. Especially that grey title bar. It's the most disgusting bar I've ever seen

I kind of fell in love with stock Android look after ICS. I used to love HTC's Sense look, but after ICS was released, I began to hate Sense and love stock. Too bad I just got an HTC One S with Sense. Good thing CM10 is now official for us!

I've always craved stock UI since I left my Droid 1 for the Droid X. I had the Droid 3/ Thunderbolt after that, and now the Galaxy Nexus/ Nexus 7.
I'm never going back.

When honeycomb was released, I realized stock Android looked great!
But gingerbread an below definitely looked ugly

It all depends on wich version you're running... It would be more efective if you had mentioned what version are you using now, because after ICS the original UI is really nice.

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

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.

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.

Cm7 is fast and quite customizable.
Myt4g on pacquiao type roids.miui.panache.
My old Desire with CM7 on it has never been so fast! It's a really nice modified rom that's fast and doesn't have all the Sense bloatware on it.
That being said, I like Sense. And I'm happy with my Sensation now . But I might give CM7 a try just for kicks.
It's vanilla Android with small tweaks that make it great. You have a small ROM that is fast and made by a team of awesome coders.
CM goes way back with the first google phone. So allot of people know it.

I had an Eris before my current DInc2 and cm is crap for both. They have little to NO support for my phone and every time I run their ROM it fails as bad if not worse than the half assed alphas put there. Sure it has cool customization choices, but on my DInc2 it is worthless in my opinion until it is fully functional.
I (and you) should never settle for less than fully functional for something so "popular"
Sorry, usually my posts are much nicer than this. I just hate kool-aid.

The one good thing to come from CM7 is MIUI - which I'm quite looking forward to trying (although I probably go back to Sense)
Personally I am more of a fan of the CM7 based ROMs that come after. Each developer gets a chance to put there own unique touch to the cm7 based ROMs. I remember from the nexus one days after cm dropped the ROMS came flying in with everyone's personal touch. The CM7 code provides a rock solid base with all features working.

I don't agree. Htc sense is a beautiful, user friendly and blazing fast in the right hands. I'm not too crazy about alpha stage anything, just happy I can flash it and I'm referring to ICS.
I want as many UI as possible that includes motoblur, HTC sense, aosp android, etc. Lack of different UIs is the main reason I miss my OG Evo. I ran twice as many UIs on my Evo, crackflasher heaven.
Sent from my Android 4.0.1 Linux S 4G using xda premium
Actually yeah..the more the merrier..even motoblur which i hate but would be fun to try it for like a week...plus the number of quality roms is the reason i bought a nexus...but it seems nt many uis available...
This is huge. If we can get this ported successfully we would have the basic framework to port tmartin builds warm 2.2, and xxvirusxx builds. So far the only sense Rom for the nexus is for the gsm phones, and that goes beyond just editing the build prop to work.

Why does everyone wants ICS so much?

Hey guys, I recently went into Verizon and played with the galaxy nexus. Its a nice phone, but what's so fantastic about ICS? I thought it was too dark, and really slow (at least the display model was). I've used sky-ics rom and I had to go back to StockMod.
So why exactly does everyone want it and ask about it? Personally I prefer touchwiz, its a lot more intuitive. The biggest difference I saw was the widgets displayed in the launched and the recent app tray thing. But its not like a game changer.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but just curious.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
