I have searched around without success on changing the grid size for the HTC Sense UI. Is this possible to add as a mod, or is there a way already that someone knows how to do this? I like Sense, so I don't want to use a launcher (i.e. Apex, Nova, etc.), just want to change the grid size to 5 rows x 4 columns. Thanks for any help.

Sadly, but no.. there's major milestones on moving lockrings and lockscreen clock on sense, so I'd imagine its not far fetched

Ok, thanks. I will just stick with 4x4 for now then.
I changed it in viper 3.0.0 JB Rom by flashing the 4x5 Rosie mod for viper ICS roms. It isn't designed for JB but it did work and I was running stable.

Yeah, I know the custom ROMs have the capability of modifying the grid size (I had CM10 and could do it), I was just hoping there was a way to do with on JB with Sense 4+.

Yeah, I know the other launchers allow this mod. I might try them at some point again, but sticking with Sense for now. Thanks
This is the mod someone else referenced. It worked for me to change it to 4x5 on RebelROM AOSP-style Sense. The 4x4 widgets won't be centered though.

I gave it a try but it didn't seem to work with my JB ROM using Sense 4+. Thanks though. I will keep a look out for an update.
I know...the 4x4 rid size on the homescreen is kinda ridiculous considering the phones resolution/screen size.

What he said^^^^^^^
You would think they would catch on already and build in the option!
And the 4x5 Rosie mod did not work on newts Rom. Sense just kept crashing before it could even load.

That is the same problem I was having. Kept saying HTC Sense has stopped working. And I agree that Sense should have this as an option to change, because the 4x4 grid just looks too spaced out.
I agree. I wonder how hard it would be to modify the ICS 4x5 mod to work with JB. I'll poke at it later, but don't hold your breath for anything. I don't really know what I'm doing, and if it was easy it would be in all the custom JB Sense+ ROMs already.

My first attempt does make 5 rows, but Sense crashes as soon as I try to do anything. I'll try again later.

I could never get mine to quit crashing, but this one from the international one x threads seems to work.

At least on ICS the mod was rather straightforward. You had to decompile Rosie.apk edit a few m10 and settings files then recompile the apk. Search through my post history, I posted a mod and a link to the tut a while back but then Turge incorporated it into Viper so I stopped working on it.

Is there a mod available for stock tmous deodexed Rom that will make the launcher and lockscreen automatically rotate? I would think this would already be around but was unable to locate anything its not even in any custom Roms that I've tried. And no I don't want anouther launcher.

Well think about it. The slide phones have it enabled by default and I would think its cooked into Sense and Rosie some were just not enabled for a handset without a keyboard. Just what I thought who knows figured I would ask.

hello, Im currently using virtous unity rom, and the live wallpaper scrolling doesn't seem to work.
Anyone else having this problem? And how do I fix it?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
i don't think i've seen that option on sense roms. a lot of the launchers in aosp roms have it though. i remember that the streak live wallpaper moved around when you scrolled through the screens.
If your talking about what I think you are, the feature was disabled on the sense 3.0 due to the carousel animation/ layout.
No big loss anyway.

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!

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.

Hi there
Isnt it possible to rib the sens 4+ from an one x 4.1 leaked Rom? Id love to get Sense launcher on jb for example cm10.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Don't think its that easy. I was under the impression the framework from sense based roms wouldn't work with non-sense roms like cyanogen and such. Things may have changed though.
And isn't there some scaling issues with one x being a larger screen size and all....I'm curious as well

Yes it possible! However, I don't think anyone is working on it since the update for our phone is supposed to be out before the month is over. Don't make a bunch of sense to hack something together only for the official release to come out 2-3 weeks later.

It's not possible. Well it is possible but it would be unusable. The framework needs to be resized from XHDPI to qHD and that isn't even possible because of the m10 images that we aren't able to replace. If you didn't replace it, you won't be able to use any of the phone because everything would be too large.

Does anyone know why all the icons and widgets seem small on the stock launcher? Like the margins are set to large. I've noticed this on pretty much all AOKP Roms, is there a way to fix it?

I have noticed this as well. It is just how Google designed the stock Android launcher, with large margins. I actually like the look of the smaller icons and widgets. However, Apex Launcher and Nova Launcher, as well as the included Trebuchet launcher in CM10 have options to change the margin sizes. The AOKP launcher does not have this setting.
Interesting, the galaxy nexus and nexus 4 both don't have this problem? I think it is just a AOKP thing, I just find it kind of weird and didn't know if I could edit some file to change the margins.
Thanks for the reply!
Sent from my One X using xda premium
AOKP has both Nova Launcher and the stock (AOSP) launcher bundled. Choose whatever version you want when you first bootup, or if you want to change that now, go to Settings / Apps / Nova Launcher / Clear Defaults and then press the home button.
Hey rohan, yeah I knew that I was just wondering if the way the margins on the stock launcher on AOKP were suppose to be like that? They seem too large?
P.S. just tried out your 4.2.1 build, it seemed to be working great. Keep up the good work!

Oh, my bad, I misunderstood you. Not too sure, actually, but you can always grab a third party launcher or Trebuchet from CM10 if you would like.
