Sense widgets to flash

Hey guys I was wondering if it was possible to get the sense widgets on cm7
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Shot answer, nope. Not a chance.
Longer answer: You must have the HTC framework in addition to the HTC Sense launcher. Neither exist on CM7, so no widgets.

question? sense launcher 3.0 on miui?

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

so could i take the framework from a sense roms and install it on miui and get sensed-miui?

No you can't

What do you like about Sense that you can't get with any other launcher?

I like the 3d sense 3.0 and i would love to have the animated flip sense clock on miui.

Try HeLauncher2 in the market. Looks like Sense.

I just use Fancy Widgets from the market for a Sense looking clock/weather combo. It is free.

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.

Sense roms

I know this has probably been asked plenty of times, but I'm bored of cyanogenmod (again) and wanted people's opinions on the best as we seem to be getting a lot of official support now. Which sense rom is your favourite and reasons why please?
I've had my fun with ICS and am now waiting for a stable release so no ICS recommendations for ICS please.

Choice of ROM is a very personal thing but at the moment I am using Endymion v3 and am extremely happy with it. It just seems to work, and I use it heavily for work - Bluetooth, Wireless, Calls, SMS, Camera, GPS etc

I've seen Endymion as the best choice and I would've switched back to it but the list has grown since I flashed Endymion which is why I wanted to know which people prefer now.

Another vote for Endymion very nice rom with great support,even though I'm on aosp oxygen at the moment as it absolutely flys.

I'm Endymion V3 and just wouldn't consider anything else to be honest .The help and support lowveld gives is amazing

i also use endymion v3 if i had the delight to use sense

I use Endymion 2.2 with the fixes from 3.0. I only like the stock look, so don't feel the need to theme and lose 200+mb.
It's all personal preference!

+1 to endymion v3 here too!! great sense 3.5 rom, excellent battery life and awesome tweaks!
The only gripe I have is the the sense 3.5 dockbar, I find it ugly and somewhat blown up, especially with the text (applications, personalization)
kept changing between the two-button bliss bar and stock 3.5 bar and couldn't settle on either
hope someone would make a sense 3.0 /2.1 dockbar mod for it!!

Is there a way to sense 3.5 rom has a normal font for the screen of our Desire S? Small fonts is something that annoys me a lot, and see how Rhyme rom only has something like that, but it seems that unfortunately proxuser left development of the Rom :/

Yeh.. I sort of got used to it now though
However when I went to use a Desire S in the store again, 2.1 sense, the icons and fonts were massive!! I was like wow!!
Also I used the Sensation XL, and sense 3.5 looks lovely on it, the icons are all giant and easy to see!

AFAIK Hyperion is Sense 3.0 rom, not 3.5, right?

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

ViperXL 1.2.4 is awesome
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

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.

Just keep Sense lol
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..

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.
