Hello!
Is there a good alternative for non-HTC Phones for HTC Sense which is also so good?
Or is there a possibility to apply HTC Sense to a non-HTC phone via the app markets (there it is not available, or!?)...
Greetings and thx!

If you neet exactly Sense-like theme, use GDE+Hero White theme, or smth like that. The only difference is that middle button is associated with main menu, not phone app.
Otherwise, just use GDE woth another themes, as for me, I like Froyo theme most. Or try another desktop environments. Compare and see for yourself.

I am interested in putting together a list of ALL official HTC widgets, either stock widgets found on different HTC devices as well as the "additional" widgets no one can seem to download.
I think this tread should be sticky-ed and should be made the HTC widgets archive thread.
Why? because I am sure most will agree that the HTC widgets are the best widgets for Android but there are so many out there and putting them all in one place for HTC device owners to download and enjoy just makes sense (get it? like HTC Sense? hahaha). For example, I have a myTouch 3G Slide which has some cool widgets on it and my friend just got a Droid Incredible with has some awesome widgets that I don't have and want, this would be a great place to post them.
Anyways, if you have a rooted HTC device or have any HTC widgets post them here. Extracting widgets from HTC roms is also a good way to get them.
+1 for this idea...
for me the best player for android is Winamp, I can even sync with my music from pc
A list of available widgets would be awesome. I think that's one of the reasons I go from ROM to ROM. Just want something fresh and better looking.
AOSP Style Contacts/Dialer APK
I have a simple request. I will be purchasing the HTC Sensation 4G in a few days and we all know that for the most part root isn't available. As a result, I will be forced to use HTC Sense 3.0 until root is established and Custom Roms become available. I will probably use ADW EX as my launcher, but I will be stuck with the HTC Sense Dialer/Contacts. Is there any brave soul out there that can create a dialer/Contact apk that is the same as the AOSP version that can be installed without root? There are a few mods/fixes out there that require root to move the dialer.apk to the main system folder etc but obviously since the Sensation doesn't have root yet I will not be able to use those. I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE STOCK HTC DIALER & CONTACTS APPS... I am willing to donate to the person that figures this out....also I'm sure I am not the only person interested in this so uploading the apk to the android market could prove profitable for you also? Here are some examples:

AND

Remember it has to be installed "Unknown Sources" style or a market link etc....
Bump: this would be awesome will donate also

Yes PLEASE! I'll donate too.
Okay, I searched in our Glacier box and I didn't find any thread about this
First, I'm not any serious developer, I'm just a dude who likes to personalize his cell phone, that's all Android about, right? This is just a tip of how I learned myself to de-sense my cell , this is not ingenious idea and I'm some of us must know about it but the rest doesn't so I want to share it to every one. So... I'm not going to take any responsible for your action to your cell.
You like Sense but the Sense Rosie can slow down your cell and you use other launcher(s) most of the time, and you can't get away from sense applications. You tried Senseless Roms but they didn't let you to change the shortcut on the ring lock screen or they didn't have that. There is a simple way to do it!
I tried this way with sense 3.0 and sense 3.5, and trying to convince my friend to lend me his Sensation XE to de-sense 3.6 and 4.0
What you need:
-A Sense Rom rooted, obviously
-Any root explorer
-That's all
Steps:
-Backup your cell first!!!
-Flash your favorite Sense Rom
-After the flashing is done, get in your cell and start arranging everything you can with sense, including change lock screen type, lock screen shortcuts, etc.
-Everything is in place now? Are you ready to get rid of sense?
-Open your root explorer and go to /system/app, and you can move/delete all apks with 'Widget3d' or '3dWidget' (i don't remember) in their names and the apk named 'rosie'
-After you deleted everything, copy 'Launcher2.apk', I attached, to that path and restart your cell
-Now your cell is de-sense and smooth
Hope everyone would find this thread useful
PS: if any one of you want to know how to make your lock screen looks like sense 4 (without the shortcut background and ring background), let me know, it's quite easy to do it
Cheers!!!
Has anyone else tried this , imma bout to de-densely phone running beatsmod, I was starting to like the Rom just it eats up a lot of space leaving me a very little for apps... Unlike cm Roma which are damn clean and takes less than 200mb

I agree, right now, I'm CoreDroid rom, and after I desensed it, now I have >350mb free of RAM for apps I'm using GO launcher though
The "free RAM for apps" is useless. As long as your amount of free RAM at any given time is less than what the biggest app will require, you're not doing your phone any good but wasting your HW. Android manages the rest.
There were many threads about it, in many forums on XDA. Android isn't a desktop OS, it works differently.
The guide is useful for those using Sense with other launchers than Rosie - they don't need Rosie and widgets anyway, and all the services that are connected to those.

This is a thread where you can give your opinions and experienced about sense UI
I made this thread because i m going to buy new HTC E8 because it packs very good specs in terms of hardware...
Before hearing about htc m8 i was planning for lg g2 as perfect in hardware and software with tons of feature...
So here i m not asking about gimmiky features but i m asking about WHAT THE SENSE UI is all about...
I saw many reviewa of htc one m8, htc desire 816 to understand what this UI packs in it... But i dont find many features over stock android... So wanna ask some feature sense UI have??
1. Small app (floating apps like lg skin or sony small apps)
2. Quick settings ( add or remove option fir toggles in quick settings drawer)
3. Does it allow to download more themes like sony allow to download from sony select and playstore.
4.does launcher can give scrolling effects or horizontal scrolling for apps in app drawer?
5. Does it has different lock effects like samsung and lg g2 or g3?
6. Does camera has more shooting modes or zoom to voice clarity options like lg g2?
7. What more features it provide over samsung and lg phones?
8.what that zoe mode provide other than slide show in gallery.
Here i m not criticize any OEM skin... I m just here for some queries.. Plz dont take it as personally... I did use samsung and sony phones before thats why n m asking it before buying HTC E8...
