I'm wondering if it's possible to forcibly install the Sense email/messenger widget into RebelRom. Tried doing it earlier by pulling the .APK's out from another ROM but it says unable to install. Am I going about it the wrong way or is RebelRom 'too Senseless' to allow the Sense widgets to install.
I want to try RebelRom to see if I can get more battery life by using a Sense based ROM but I prefer the ASOP lockscreen and other small things that RebelRom has but I like the email/messenger widgets of Sense which are not part of it.
Impossible. Rebel Rom is too senseless.
Maybe impossible is too strong of a word. You'd have to have porting experience to get it working since sense has been aggressively removed.
I'm done editing my post now, I swear

JUst curious if there is a way to get sense on top of CM7? Sorry if this seems lame, but i am not programmer, and it is just a question. I would assume that a rom would have to be built based off of cm7 stable with sense added, is that correct?>
Don't think so, or we would have seen something already.
If you go to android general forum, there are themes for the CM7 theme chooser that mimic some of the elements of sense, without the widget, as well as custom launcher pro home replacements that do the same thing.
If your after the Widgets, try launcher pro plus, those are the closest Widgets I've found to resemble sense Widgets.
There is a adw sense theme in the market. That's the closest you'll get.
Can do a Sense launcher.apk over CM7. Lol have not posted anything so will not let me put link.. just google sense launcher apk it will come up.

looked it up and its just an adw launcher theme. To answer the OP question no this isn't possible because well HTC Sense Ui isn't open source so we can't put it on an aosp rom ourselves. The closest you will get for htc sense and cm7 is skyraider i think because it has something very similar to cyanogenmod settings and the new skyraider 4 will be 2.0 so it will have all the z rom features or you could wait for a gingersene port which isn't looking very possible atm.
Wait for skyraider 4.0.

Its great to dream, but in this case you should stop dreaming. The G2x and sense roms has 2 different framework so it will never work and even if it could it would take tons of modding that wouldn't be worth the trouble. Its similar to trying to put a Ferrari body on a Mercedes chassis.

There's a app called "Go To Lockscreen" and it pretty much gives you the features of the Sense lock screen. Its a good app.

im not sure if you wanted sense for the same reason i did. i wanted sense for the dialer + messaging client. althought we probably wont get the sense dialer, there is an app called GO Dialer, and GO Sms that is similar to the sense applications. Stock android dialer SUCKS! anyways hope this helps

The lock screen, dialer, messaging client and contacts client are the only good things about Sense. The vanilla clients are boring with less features. What's cool about the Sense contacts client is that contact pictures are just there with no loading. The vanilla contact client lags a little bit and there is a delay in showing the pictures.

Sense has some neat stuff but most of it is cosmetic.
Launcher Pro already has some Sense-like widgets built in and are themeable. They look like Sense out of the box. You can also customize Launcher Pro's dock bar to match any version of Sense.
Go Dialer and Go SMS are popular because you can theme them to look like whatever you want. I've also used "Dialer One" which was a "HTC SENSE Dialer" Clone at one time. I think they've went down their own path since but still has the same great functionality.
Moral of the story, you can make you phone look and feel like a Stock-Sense rom without having the stock-sense rom.
And I think they're porting Sense over in the O2x forums (directed at the second poster). MIUI, Sense, and CM7 are the 3 roms that should be ported to every phone. Completely do-able though. Nexus One has all 3.... but maybe I was spoiled.
It was possible on my hd2 windows phone. So I would say yes, it is possible. That phone had a much bigger following so I will not say it is propable.

as things have been said, launcherpro, GoTo LockScreen, things like that can give the customized feeling of not being on stock android...
I think the problem is we are on a LG phone trying to port a HTC client, Samsung Galaxy series never got it to work fully, just my opinion. I am not saying it is not possible, I am one that loves options and would like to see it happen though.

You can find software that looks like Sense such as Go Messenger but there is no contacts client out there with the deep integration/features you get with Sense. The Contacts Client is the only thing I like about HTC and I have yet to see one done better. Just ain't going to happen.

Hello, been through many roms guys, im not new here but i still have the same question i always had.
Is there any ROM that rotates like DesireZ roms.?
I mean a ROM that we will be able to have the launcher rotated when we rotate the phone.
I know AOSP roms are able to do that, but is there any Sense Rom capable of doing that.?
I think the flyer ROM can do it. however although it is sense, I believe it is running honeycomb rather than gingerbread
Just seen that it's still a work in progress so don't think it's possible.without removing sense

Beatmod Flyersense. Still Gingerbread but not sure if it's still active or not.
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

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

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.
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?

Is there any way to use DashClock on 4.1? Are there alternatives I can use instead?
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:
