Used to use nova and cm for a stock jb feel, then got my hands on a jb sense rom and haven't looked back. Jb sense is just ridiculously fast.

I'm using a basic sense setup now sorry no screen shots as I haven't put my h time into the look as I'm waiting for cm10 to get a little more stable but I usaully use nova

Do you notice a significant drop in battery life with Apex Launcher? I am using CM10 and get good battery life, but when I installed NOVA launcher my battery life cut in half easily. Just wondering how the other launchers are?

Welcome!

I always use Nova Launcher when on an AOSP ROM, which is almost all the time. I don't think Nova hurts my battery life either. I use multiple themes too. A few of my favorites are Mixer, Cobalt, and Vivid. I use a few more but those are always in the rotation.
If I'm using Sense, it's Liamstears theme for Viper ROM.

Nova Prime and Kovdev Tersus icons.

Im running viperxl 3.0 with sense+ and RedVenom theme. Blazing fast, super stable, impressive batterylife.

Anyone see the IIDA Rom? Different take with the tiled apps and no app drawer! I returned back to viper as I have grown fond of sense again.
love ya xo

I like sense too, viper xl , icons by me, submitted them, added a handful more icons, so hopefully ill be making lots of icons for the tweaks.

I flashed the MIUI rom already but thus is great for those that don't want to mess with different roms.

pretty cool launcher. I used to only use MIUI rom until recent updates from different versions of MIUIs don't seem to run very smooth on my phone, then after trying a bunch of AOSP and AOKP roms, switched to AOKP but really miss MIUI launcher. This one brings back memories! Great for those who misses the unique MIUI style!
thanks for this. will probably use this over my current sense rom

haha yes i am working on it, it is because it usually opens other apps only for SGS3 i am currently in the process in porting them!
I am happy that I could get this. It would have been netter if there is a full dedicated ROM for this
This just made sense 4 lite that much better. I didn't want sense for the widgets, I wanted it for it's fully working camera. Now I have a ROM tailored to how I would like it! Thanks OP
Thanks it works perfect,
But honestly, it sucks.. whats so great about this launcher besides the fact that its brand Galaxy S3?
I use Nova launcher, super functionality, better than samsungs and better than sense 4. and still of course I have any htc apps (camera,clock,weather and so..)
Perhaps the thing I would wish for from the S3 is the lockscreen

ROM Suggestions

I have a Rogers One X and am wondering on suggestions for ROMS. I'm not asking for the best, but suggestions for either sense or senseless.
What do you people think?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
These are the Roms I've tried so far:
CleanROM 5 - seems very sluggish
CleanROM 4.5 - it's ok
Venom 1.2.4 - not bad
AOKP ICS - good but no sense camera
AOKP jb build 3 - same as ICS one
Cm10 nightlies - good but was unable to
update from inside rom

Viper is pretty good. I use it senseless with apex launcher cuz I'm not a huge sense fan..
Very customizable. Though I'm really excited to see what happens when android 4.1 is released for our phone. My friend has a nexus and 4.1 looks sweet.

What customizations would you keep or take off during install to get Viper senseless? I'm not sure what I should keep and what I should take out.

I used to hate Sense cos of the lag on my Desire but Sense 4.1 is soooo fast on this ROM!

+1 ViperXL
I picked up the Nova Prime when it was $0.25, been running the free version before that. The sense Widgets are over rated IMO, and its absurd I can only use them on the sense launcher. I would use sense launcher if I could set the row and column number, 4x4 on a 4.7" screen is rediculously wasteful. I use 5x7 (5x8 with dock) and don't feel cramped on Nova.
The camera is important to me, and the battery life. And notification toggles (like TouchWiz, CM, and AOKP) too. For those reasons I stay or come back to ViperXL. Its stable, fast, and full of customization.

[Q] [AT&T One X]AOKP + Sense?

Hey all,
I was wondering if there is a way to PORT Sense to AOKP so I can have a mix of both. I'd be willing to look into doing it myself or with some guidance. I'm buying my girlfriend a HOX soon and she likes the AOKP on my One V but at the same time, she (for some reason) likes Sense (especially the animated weather, clock, etc. widgets). If someone knows of a ported version of the Sense widgets (with the animations), then that would also work.
Thanks, worldindo1.
If it could be done, I think it would have already been done. Someone correct me if I'm wrong..
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
There is no aokp sense yet. There is a sense 4.5 port but it's very unstable. Buy her beautiful widgets. It has the big fancy clock and weather animations your girlfriend likes
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
It may be possible to port some aokp features to a specific sense ROM but I've seen someone try and port some sense elements and it isn't that easy to make each app dependant upon itself instead of the sense framework
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
The proprietary Sense features require a Sense base. No one has found a way around this and isn't likely to because the code for Sense is not open-source.
There are several Sense roms with AOKP elements.

If you want the actual Sense clock, you have to use the Sense launcher. No way otherwise.
However you could use HD widgets to get a Sense like clock and flash CleanRom Dev to get a Sense ROM with AOSP styling.

Or search for fancy widget. Its an exact copy of the sense clock minus the animations

Thanks for the tip! Just bought it and now I'm playing around with it myself.
Yeah i'd also like the combo aokp+sense. I must say mine n ur gf's thought are alike.
+1 for beautiful widgets. Use that and find a good sense theme for the theme chooser. There's like 3 or 4 in the android themes section here on xda alone. The average user wouldn't be able to tell the difference
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655946
Technically almost anything is "possible", but rohan32 explained the complexity of porting the Sense camera here, and I assume the same applies to other Sense apps and widgets.
Basically, the amount of work to port over Sense components makes it infeasible. And you would have to port the Sense launcher as well, as even on Sense based ROMs, if you ditch the launcher, you lose the widgets. At that point, you may as well just be using a Sense ROM.

AOSP Features on Sense ROMs

I'm thinking about switching back to a Sense ROM for the battery life and camera, but I'll miss a few things from AOSP that I've gotten accustomed to.
Is it possible to have the 4.2 Lockscreen on a Sense ROM? I know the AOSP 4.1 lockscreen is available on some of them. Having DashClock notifications on the lockscreen makes life so much easier.
It's not possible to have the AOSP notification shade on a Sense ROM, is it?
Is there a way to get the AOSP Browser on a Sense ROM? It's the fastest and cleanest browser I've used on Android so far. I've tried pulling the APK from an AOSP ROM and pushing it to /system/, but that just causes the browser to FC when I try using it.
Can I add the CRT screen animation to a Sense ROM, or has HTC made that impossible?

I had the same issue. I tried using WidgetLocker to install it, but it did not work. Only reason I haven't gone back to ViperXL...that and the quick reply to text from notification shade. both features make life way too easy to give up
Bpear has a damn close replica of aosp sense. REBELROM. Its fast and stable too.
Plus I'm trying my damnest to theme the settings page to mimic aosp. I feel like I'm getting close! :cross fingers:
