Hey everyone,
I was wondering who here uses a launcher on a Sense ROM, such as Viper ROM. Do you guys like it and think it's worth it? I guess I'm just unsure as to whether I should do it or not, considering launchers are primarily used on non-sense ROMs like Cyanogenmod. Thanks!

I use Themer Beta, because I enjoy the one click theme options. I'm on Viper, and tweaked the colors to match the theme.
I think it's about preference.

I use GoLauncher. I just like the screen transitions and the ability to put apps in folders and customize all that. Plus I got the Pro key for cheap when it was on sale at some point....
Have any of you guys tried everything me launcher? Looks interesting...

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?

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.

ADW is **** anyway, every other launcher I've used has a slight lag switching screens. I'll be sticking with Sense

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.

true that may be, but I can't take the non responsiveness the first 5 Secs or so when trying to swipe between pages. Been the same for me, nexus one, mt4g, and now sensation

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?
Hi quick question is it possible for these phones to use vanilla or sense roms? and if so would someone be willing to make one Froyo or GB?
because personally I hate T-wiz and I use ADW with every rom so far but I would love to have a vanilla ROM I know Sense is HTC just dont know if these things are even possible
hey! this topic has been addressed a lot of times and other threads discuss this.
basically, its very difficult to port over sense because it is completely different than tw. its not really worth the dev's time in some cases, but there are other options, like themes for launchers that are nice. beautiful widgets is nice for the clock and since you like adw, you can get a theme, or look into go launcher. that is a very flexible launcher.

ok but what about Vanilla? and if this is posted somewhere else i havent seen it sorry about that. I have Fancy Pro with ADW ex (Also have Launcher Pro just dont like it as much so I dont install it) and I am able to make it look stock but would just prefer stock rather than having 2+ launchers
If you don't like the launchers, flash to icbinb. And get the theme. It had a cool launcher that I think you will like. try out zeam launcher as well if you get a chance. It's very minimalistic and works great. You can delete tw completely once you get another launcher.

Yes but make sure you already have another launcher before you do
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
nope, can use adw launcher ex? upgraded one to get few more things. Best thing to do is delete the bloatware you dont want/need to make it as stock as possible.
what do you mean by "nope"?
and you can use any launcher. install one and then delete twlauncher via titanium. look into sweet acid theme, it has a nice launcher

I can't fully answer this question, but if you want a Vanilla FEEL, then yes, it's definitely possible. Just download the Gingerbread launcher from the market. It'll give you a Vanilla feel.
Hey Guyz
i would like to ask if there are other UI's for the Nexus S just like MIUI interface
Because the stock is pretty boring !
There are a lot of roms for NS, starting for CM7 based roms, MIUI, CM9 alpha, and well take a look on the developing section and test the one you want..
Wait a few weeks they're almost done with HTC Sense.
Yeah, and MIUI V4.

You're saying "UI"... do you mean "Launcher"? Because you don't need a custom rom to change the way the phone looks. There are lots of them on the market, just to name a few I've tested:
-ADWLauncher EX: smoother than regular ADWLauncher, highly customizable, worth the purchase (for me at least, runs great)
-LauncherPro: also very smooth, pretty customizable
-Go Launcher EX: can't say I loved it too much, but also nice looking.
Take your pick. Hope this is what you were searching for, a replacement LAUNCHER, not a replacement ROM.
I don't mean the launchers.
I mean different transitions, icons,statusbar,notification and etc like the full framework has been changed as you see in MIUI Rom
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
The MIUI ROM is still based off of Gingerbread and hides it really well. Though most of it is recognizable once you see past the themes and skins.
If you want a list of different ROMs, some of which sport their own framework visit the Nexus S ROM thread
here.
Also as flodb113 pointed out, essentially you are looking for a different launcher. ADWLauncher is a good place to start off if you're not looking to flash a new ROM.
The ADWLauncher contains themes which can change the whole appearance of the UI including: transitions, icons, statusbar, notifications and etc.
But isnt a UI called RoUI available?

If you are referring to this then it only allows you to customize the lockscreen. Which is similar to changing a launcher; no flashing required.

Miui is available for the NS and NS4G, just flash it.
Not sure why you chose the Nexus if you're looking for a flashy interface... The nexus was designed as a vehicle for the bare bones, no frills aosp android experience.
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!

Nope. Sense widgets require you to be using sense launcher.

She remade the HTC sense clock for use with custom ROMs/launchers...
Looks great!
sense weather and clock widgets are the best for me..
if anyone can make them working on 3rd party launcher would be super great.
maybe it's not even possible..

This Mod will also not interfere with any other mods you may have installed and will not remove anything or change anything, just adds extra frameworks and ofcourse an app!

haha yes i am working on it, it is because it usually opens other apps only for SGS3 i am currently in the process in porting them!
I am happy that I could get this. It would have been netter if there is a full dedicated ROM for this
This just made sense 4 lite that much better. I didn't want sense for the widgets, I wanted it for it's fully working camera. Now I have a ROM tailored to how I would like it! Thanks OP
Thanks it works perfect,
But honestly, it sucks.. whats so great about this launcher besides the fact that its brand Galaxy S3?
I use Nova launcher, super functionality, better than samsungs and better than sense 4. and still of course I have any htc apps (camera,clock,weather and so..)
Perhaps the thing I would wish for from the S3 is the lockscreen
