Imagine how smooth could sense 3.6 be with flat scrolling screens, like in sense 2.1. Dear devs, is it possible to turn carousel off?

You cannot use sense launcher without the carousel... However why use sense if you don't want it Haha? I would suggest using a sense ROM with a 3rd party launcher such as NOVA launcher, which will allow you to pick the transition animation =)

I use Flikie HD Wallpapers, it's a very nice program for HD backgrounds and almost all background have the function to scroll to the left or right.
Now i know this is not possible in Sense 3.0 because the sliding never stops. So every background with that slide function don't know when to stop the picture so it just shows the middle.
Is it possible to change this, with example the Fre3vo temp-root ? Or do we need to wait at a ROM builder or Fre3dom ?
Thx!

Nobody knows anything about it ?
Nope, you can't do that. Only possible with another launcher.
The Sensation has an HTC Live Wallpaper called "Streak" that has somekind of infinite movement (rotation) when going from screen to screen. I geuss someone should find a way to make something similar!
Try a different launcher. I am using GoLauncher Ex and it works quite well. I think it looks better than the Sense launcher as well.

Will the phone become slower when you use GoLauncher, i want to use it only i think it is a bit double, the heavy Sense 3.0 and the GoLauncher. I am definitily waiting for the perm root so that our great cookers can make a stripped ROM without Sense 3.0 I think were almost there!

Nope, the phone is more responsive when using another launcher. Try it

Definitely try any other launcher. You won't be disappointed at all. I personally flip around between Launcher PRO Plus, Go Launcher, and Launcher7.
For the time being at least, anything other than Sense that you use will allow your Sen4G to pep up quite a bit. But who knows what'll happen when we get a new FOTA to fix some of our standing issues.
re: wallpaper
- Just wondering why would you like the wallpaper to move like in the sense 2.1?

Go launcher kills sense. Using it right now its above and beyond speed wise and the go widgets are fantastic.

I think we misunderstood (maybe just me?) your original statement that any other launcher "kills sense" in that, at least for me, I thought you meant any other launcher would bring Sense to its knees......meaning Sense was speedier than all the other launchers.
Turns out you were saying what we were albeit from a completely different direction.
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding yet again.....it has in fact been a long day for me.
I'm completely new to Sense (upgraded from a mt3g and avoided any roms that included anything related to Sense since it would've killed me on ~600MHz or so). I really like my Sensation with ADW Ex and was wondering, short of custom roms is there any way to use Sense widgets in ADW?
Sorry for the newb question, I tried to figure it out using Google but only came across links talking about "Sense-like" replacements. I'm curious if there's any way to extract the actual Sense widgets and reuse them.
Peace,

I think LauncherPro Plus has widgets that are similar to Sense widgets, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, I'll give LauncherPro a spin.. but I've seen a lot of "similar-to" replacements already that don't quite cut it; are the actual HTC widgets baked into Sense with no way to use them outside of their launcher?
I doubt that there is a way to access the Sense widgets from any launcher other than Sense?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
There is NO way of using Sense widgets outside of Sense - it's been covered a million times before
You can find a million replacement widgets and use them on a better launcher like ADW EX. Which ones are you looking to use?

Try Colorize Widget.

not so horrible.. just fact... he mentioned that he was used to stock android and started using adw.. at some point he got himself use to it and grew to like it.. so why can't he make himself do the same thing with sense....
Just not enough options with sense launcher, for me. Also i experience lag that I don't with go launcher or launcher pro plus, and pro has a sense skin that makes the widgets look like sense if that's what your after. With go launcher I use colorized widgets as posted previously

ADW EX is the most fully-featured and customizable launcher out there. You actually need to learn how to set it up though, so that probably turns a lot of newbs away.

Never had that problem, personally.
I solved this by getting used to Sense for normal use and chilling with ADW whenever I wanted to appreciate how fast this phone could be... Like the Sense widgets, hate the launcher.

Isn't the point of getting an HTC phone is for sense?
have you try Go Launcher EX?
Is there a way to install the Sense Launcher 3.0 on Miui? I have tried all kinds of different modded launchers and I dont want a modded launcher pro or ADW I would like to have the real Rosie.apk Its probably in the framework so thats why all of the launchers I have used wont work. I was hoping someone would have a modded Rosie that doesnt require to be tied into the framework. preferably the new 3.0.
No. Sense isn't just a launcher. If you want the Rosie.apk on miui, you will need to have sense framework thus equalling a sense rom

No The Original Fancy Widget comes closer the sense clock than that one. The only thing is it isnt animated. Which I currently already have. If anyone needs it.

Flash cm7 into my DesireS and got adw.launcher
Then installed go.launcher from market, it seems to run smoother, especially when scrolling through app drawer.
Any1 experience this as well?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well let's sum it up with all the replies on this thread.
If you are tired of looking at the same launcher and want something different
without having to flash a whole different rom everytime u get bored you could try the following.
Action Launcher
ADW
Apex
FTL
Go Launcher
Holo
Nova
Nemus
Many of the above gives you an 'ICS feel' except for adw,ftl and go.
Or if you want something like Win 8 might be ur liking.
*You can always force stop(freeze with TB) built in launcher if you are worried about it taking up ur ram.
FTL, try that!

Or go the whole hog and install Reaper ROM
What launcher do you need? Feature rich of fast? First - Go Launcher, second - ADW or FTL.
Apex is also good but FTL is the best choice in terms of speed and customization.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
FTL for me everytime
have tried ADW and Go launcher but FTL is the one I like the most, would like to know eventually how top theme and change stuff myself to personalise it for me.
This launcher seems faster and easier to modify and has loads of other options, the ability to use other themes (styles) and is really fast.
Apex, has everything, but applicable on ICS roms
Swyped from my DesireS
using sense 4.0a, maybe switch to "go" later
I used Apex in ms Fallout Rom. Looks great my favorite launcher
Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire S mit Tapatalk 2
On GB I was using the Nemus launcher. He is quick and doesn't use a lot ram.
On ICS I was using Apex, but he was FCing a lot with the unofficial AOKP rom. So I'm now using Nova. I just love the ICS style, so I never gone back.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
Apex launcher works only on 4.0 and above and its way better. It has more features than the stock launcher.:good:
If :
you are on ics go with nova or apex
you like speed go with FTL from lowveld( our top dev)
you like bloat go with go launcher
you can try holo launcher, cool for me
Stock JellyBean launcher is awesome

IMO Apex on ICS is the best, also run out on top of sense 4.0A roms.
if you go in that direction then I'd recommend that you check out the newly released app in development section that permit's you to use the sense lock screen and have working lock screen short cuts with apex launcher
Sywepd form my DsereiS
Apex is the best I've tried by far, and it's worth buying the Pro version.
Running it over ICE DS now and it's going great.

Am running LBCv5.4 and soo far so best for me is Holo launcher , keeps me on 400-419 free ram according to ES task manager widget + gives u the closest look to ICS , tthe rest of the launchers u pointed works well but the highest ram i do get is 370 via FLT ....
Hey everyone,
Just wondering if there's a way to use the Nova Launcher with Sense widgets? I really like the look and speed of Nova but I don't want to give up my weather clock widget. I really like it, lol.
I haven't been able to find any workarounds, so input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
