Hello guys,
this is probably a very easy question but i am new to the flashing scene and could not find an answer in the Desire S forums.
Is it possible to create a JB based ROM with HTC Sense running on it? If not, why?
Thanks!
this is a question i also wanted to ask,, we have sense 4.5 with jellybean on htc one x,, cant we port it from HOX ??
It's a tegra device, sou will be tougher. Nevertheless a lot of resizing will need to be done.
It's a really painstaking job.
One from One S would be easier.

i think team venom can do it,, like they resized sense 4.1 from HOX for wvga devices
After all the effort of the resizing, question is would it perform..?
Huge effort otherwise.

To be perfectly honest, I would be happy even to have a Sense 4 or 3.6...what I really miss are the HTC apps like People, Mail, Dialer, the keyboard etc. I know there are other apps around and I am using them but I still think the integration with social that these apps have in Sense is still much better.
I suppose a lite version of Sense 4 with less animations and effects would be better than nothing

Hi there,
I told my mother to buy a Desire S because it had reasonnable specs at a fair price. However I feel bad about the Sense UI that adds complexity and small fonts. I have an HD2 with a Nexus One ROM and could help her much better if she had the Google 'customization'.
So is there a way to disable/remove sense? There is a known trick for the Desire that does not work for the S. Or is there a rom without Sense? I have not seen any in the dev forum.
Thanks,
Jerome.
You can just download LauncherPro or Gingerbread Launcher or any other launcher app from the market
But if you wanna disable Sense completely I don't think there's rom of pure Gingerbread yet ..
Launcher pro would definitely not do anything to simplify things!
I think something like the titanium roms that were available for winmo
6.5 et al would be good. Stripped down and simpler to use without Sense, also faster imo.

Well, someone can try to port an android from a non htc phone to this one.....
Thanks for your answers.
Actually I noticed some people compile the gingerbread launcher and post it on the market (there's also the gingerbread keyboard).
I may try that ...
Greetings to all developers and super users, I'm just eager to know what are your opinions on the latest SenseUI on top of ICS.
In my opinion, the Sense 3.5 is just not made for ICS at all. It's just an emergency move made by HTC team to release Sense for ICS. This is due to other platforms which quickly developed their patch ICS upgrade for their devices. I't just an 'emergency landing' for HTC.
In Sense 3.6 they've fixed some minor stuff in 3.5 which doesn't fit well together with the ICS framework. BUt still, how the SenseUI in ICS gave an impression to me is that IT IS NOT WELL CONCEPTED! Not as beautiful as Sense 3.0 in GB compared to other manufaturers' UI.
So I'm just saying that I am really eager to see Sense 4.0 for ICS in the near future.
What say you guys?
if HTC had actually given it a bit more AOSP style to Sense with ICS, then it might be ok....but as it, it actually looks like poop in my honest opinion...hence I now run Virtuous Inquisition 3.0.0
True, I think at the moment, Mathias' design concept is more mature than HTC's. But the fact is that many feature in ICS is already adopted since Sense 3.0. So I think that Sense 4.0 will be a blast again
sense is awful... that is just my opinion
I don't mind a little bit of sense (Some comes in handy sometimes) but they basically killed the beauty of ICS with there **** sense overlay. At least color stuff correctly. It looks very hurried and just glued together on htcs part. With that said virtuous Inq took out all the crappy junk that HTC put in and made it great again.
I'm actually considering a move to Virtuous ROM. Because it's the best AOSP so far I saw plus everyone's been using that.
I agreed with the glued part. It is really like just glued in a hurry. Not like the usual SENSEUI..
Yes sense 4.0 will totally change Ics UI....we have to wait some days.
The question is WHEN...
there are some leaks about it.. but not convincing enough...
Just hope it will be epic as ever ^^
sense 3.5/3.6 doesnyt really fit to ics, htc got to rethink their vision of new sense, but first news gives us hope that htc has right direction
on the other hand i can't work without sense, its the most complex launcher and i've tried working without it, but it was pointless, always comming back to sense
Personally,i just want aosp based rom. I hate Sense and always did dating back from my old Wildfire lol.
Using HyperSense CM7 ATM
ok, after I tried using Virtuous 3.0.0, I decided to go back to ARHD.
reason??
Because after using the AOSP based ROM, I realized how Sense made life easier. Although I must say that the AOSP has better design than Sense 3.5/4.6, but there are still some functions which Sense came really handy with.
So mean while, I'm coming back to ARHD ^^
It's insulting. 3.6 is such a minor "upgrade" to 3.5 while 4.0 is a massive upgrade (no quotes) to 2.3.x, putting that ****lick overlay on top of AOSP totally kills it. That, and the gray color scheme introduced in 3.5 is aweful, it's so dull. Sense 3.0 is the last decent Sense.
I agree, actually maybe Sense 3.0 was so great is because it has huge improvement from the previous Sense.
I would love to have ICS stock camera app in htc sense..
i think sense 3.6 is just a quick update to shut all of us up about wanting ICS
after some time we'll get a better sense version...
remember sense 2.1? it was absolutely the same in froyo and gingerbread but when HTC announced the sensation it was rocking sense 3.0 and everyone was drooling over it
While the first pictures and videos of ICS emerged, I told my self "nah, that can't be it. They said they where about to make it look better... "
When ICS was officially announced, I was deeply disappointed, that it really looked as ugly as it did in the leaked versions.
So I'm really enjoying sense 3.6, even if I had hoped for more.

Personally Im not really looking forward to ICS with Sense 3.6. ICS is one thing but IMO Sense 3.6 isnt exactly different from Sense 3. The only thing I like about 3.6 is its camera but it isnt really a make or break decision for me.
If HTC rolls out ICS and Sense 4.0 for Sensation sometime later, I do hope they'll have better camera features (not over Sense 3 of course, even 3.6 camera trumps over 3.0 lol)
But I think Sense 3.6 is a compensation of ICS design. Because the original ICS has no menu button and Sensation has menu button.
Is there anyway to port sense 2.1 on android 4.0? I'm just asking if it possible to do it?
Of course it's possible, but no developer here is going to do it so you had better start learning quickly and found a lot of reading if you want to do it yourself.

If you wat have a sense 2.1 look, try to download some comercial laucher like GO laucher and download any senser skin for it. If you want a sense clock in the fancy widgets you've got one.
I think so, i have try GO launcher and I have to confess that I'm not interest since it is just simulation. In my opinion, sense 2.1 bring a lot of more convenience for me from the lock screen to other features as well. From the sense 3.0 till sense 4.0 I fekt it is very heavy for our old generation phone. HTC Desire is my first android phone ever. Sense 2.0 give the best experience I never been through, HTC really try to make it better but it seem they are getting the wrong idea, it is just not simply brilliant anymore, anyway thank you very much. I will trying hard to build it my own then.
Simply said you can't. There is no way to make GB framework to work over ICS. Why don't you just use a Sense 2.1 ROM? I remember LBC was really good one

which one do u guys prefer and why?
me i stick with SENSE because
when mms is received data auto turns on and turns off when done.
refocus camera while recording video
I use sense, for me is fast, stable, battery friendly and i have all the utility from an HTC device, also the camera is awsome, the autofucos and the 1080p video without glitches...
No reboots at all, no problems, full funcionality...
Elegancia 4.1 version 3.6.0 Public Beta
Sense may be more stable but the vanilla experience of android is so much better.
i prefer sense with all utilities of HTC device.
I prefer Sense. Sense looks somewhat professional whereas CM Roms don't. You'll find CM on almost every devices, but will find Sense on ONLY HTC devices.
Sense is only thing that makes difference than Other.

signed :good:
I have tried various roms but so far i must say that i prefer CM over sense (because of all of the modifications you can do)
I prefer sense (ARHD to be specific) mainly because you don't see a "working/ not working" list because everything just works
Sense is cooler but I'd rather have the latest updates than sense if HTC is going to bullsht their way to bankruptcy

My apologizes to create a new thread about Sense 5 which seems to be a hot and controversial topic right now.
I've got my hands on that controversial ROM with Sense 5 a couple days ago just because I was curious to see what kind of improvements Sense 5 over Sense 4+ will offer.
I don't really want to discuss a ROM itself, only Sense 5 is what interests me at this point.
To be honest I did not like it at all. Sure, it was snappier than my current ViperS 3.1.2 with Sense 4+ but besides Blinkfeed which I hardly care about it did not seem to offer any major improvements...
To me what made Sense and HTC phones preferred choice (besides hardware + design) were Sense looks and widgets that are mostly gone from Sense 5. I rely on mail and messaging widgets daily and also calendar/task widgets with my upcoming appointments have a prominent placement.
Without these I can just install any deSensed ROM on my HTC Sensation and slap any good launcher on top of it to get a similar results...
I know that I am coming late to the party, Sense 5 has been available for ages now, but until today I never had a chance to try it on my beloved Sensation. After my recent experience I will probably stick with Sense 4+ for a very long time because it works really well for me and I have also decided to postpone purchase of a new cellphone (I am still waiting for HTC to introduce a new flagship phone with micro SD slot included - HTC One Max is not what I am looking for).
I would like to hear about what are your thoughts as far Sense 5 is concerned and why should I forget about my favorite Sense 4 widgets...
Im not a Sense fan, but Sense5 should be lighter and faster.

As I have mentioned in my post, it is definitely snappier (because it's lighter = missing features). Obviously I use specific apps to do what I am trying to accomplish but for me specifically what made Sense attractive choice were widgets that provide needed information with one glance. These missing features in Sense 5 is what makes me to consider abandoning HTC phones all together and try different brand (Sony Z1 looks good to me).
Maybe I should rephrase what I am trying to say... "What makes Sense 5 better then lets say Nova launcher for example?"
I haven't tested one yet, but I LOVE how Sense looks.
I want my phone to look nice too

I wholeheartedly agree, looks of Sense was originally what attracted me to HTC phones in a first place, in my case starting with HTC Diamond. Damn, I am probably getting old :crying: since I still like "retro" Sense 4 design bit more than oversimplified Sense 5 icons. But it's mostly features that I value. My current ViperS 3.1.2 with it's tweaks makes my Sensation an amazing phone. The only thing I was hoping for with Sense 5 was faster, snappier performance without giving up on features.
Just give it some time. The official ViperS Sense 5 (with tweaks) isn't even out yet.
If you're looking for some widgets & features, I think some modders will take care of that.
And well, thank god for custom ROMs we can pretty much have any version of Sense on Sensation. 7 different versions! Damn.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I used the calendar, calculator, music and Notes widget the most, and they're gone from Sense 5. That's pretty much the only thing I miss, I really don't know why they would throw it out, it was something that differentiated sense from other launchers. Now it's all the same to me.

That is what I mean...
I have Asus Memo Pad 10, Tegra 3 makes it pretty fast and cost/value is very good as well. I have replaced original (slow) launcher with Nova launcher (currently my favorite) and decided to reduce number of screens to 3 although I might as well do fine with one only.
With general lack of useful widgets my screen is filed with grid of app icons and folders. It begins to resemble Apple products I despise.

You think those widgets can be ported? I know when I was on the desire forums that some had tried to port some widgets from GB sense 3.6 to earlier sense, but I don't think they managed to that. Hope it will be possible

I Like Sense 5 but.....
I like Sense 5, but I misse old Dial, I think is better sense 4+
Blinkfeed of sense 5 is useless. It's usable in sense 5.5 only, because there you can finally customize the sources to be displayed.
So if the only or main reason to switch to sense 5 is just blinkfeed then there's no reason, because you won't use it much.
I wish that sense 5.5 porting would be feasible
I may have misunderstood the OP but all of these are in Sense 5.

You do realize that sharing that here isn't allowed, right? ._.
And even that KangSense has a few bugs.. I think it's like Team Venoms old build, which another developer 'stole' and fixed a little.
I'm gonna wait for Team Venom's official.

You can share anything as long as it is not warez. At the end of the day until someone has PROOF it is team venom rom then it's allowed to be shared
I only shared so people can flash to get a taste of sense 5 that's all.
