The lagginess of the app drawer scrolling. Maybe it's because I'm so used to LauncherPro but it just doesn't feel smooth. I really do like all the other aspects of Sense though.
Completely agree stop when you get to the end don't iust slow down. Very annoying.

What's the reason that Sense Widgets can't be used with 3rd party launchers?

If you guys bought beautiful widgets you will never look back at sense again weather animations again. that along with the new open gl weather live wallpaper is pretty sick

Bw is a poor substitute for Sense. Sorry, HTC has them beat and Sense 3.0 takes it to a whole new level.

Say what you will about touchwiz, but they got it right with the horizontal app drawer scrolling. I love that option in ADW launcher as well. I just wish sense gave you that option somehow.

I really don't like horizontal app drawers. I'd actually love a WP7 style list.
The one thing I don't like about Sense is the inability to remap the right button. I don't need the bloody personalize button there all the time.

At least that's possible with root. I can remap the right button to whatever I want. I don't think it's possible to have sense + horizontal app drawer, though, even with root.
I like the horizontal app drawer because unlike vertical app drawer, I don't over-scroll.
Agreed I really wished we could use launcherpros 3d app drawer. I like beautiful widgets but at the end its just not quite as elegant as HTC's sense widget.

Actually, there is a way to replace the app drawer, sorta by using another app.
I'll have to remember the steps...
There are a few threads about it. But I'm pretty sure its not possible.

I recommend go launcher ex over either of those. I never actually see anyone else recommend it though, but it's a drastic change from sense. It has a horizontal sliding app drawer and I never notice lag. You can do a vertical one as well if you like with it, though I dont see why. The only complaint I might have is the lack of built in widgets (it only has 2 right now), but they're adding more. However, I dont care about those anyways.

only thing I hate about sense is the fact that you can't use a wii controller with the phone

You can use shootme for screen shots and some ROMs like MIUI have it built in. And for the 4 icons that don't move alternative launchers like ADW and Launcher pro etc. have that and it wont movie when you move screen and you can change it to your needs

Look at adw ex it has a second dockbar that can be used on any screen and is configurable.
thanks for the two replies...
i found them to be buggy and/or insufficient because i lost all the htc sense features. or maybe coredroid is that good of rom to make me not want to lose what i currently have.
I flashed a mod yesterday that gave me a transparent rosie and also keeps the dock at the bottom on all the home screens. Unfortunately it isn't customizable but it is a nice little add on.

I just installed about half hour ago and I have to say it's fantastic! Google is on UI TEAR right now #winning.
I really like how they condensed the app list into two columns and made each smaller. It now shows 14 apps per page on my Sensation where the old Market only showed like 5 or 6. Makes scrolling through content much faster.
I also really like the additions of the "Top Grossing", "Top New Paid", "Top New Free", and "Trending" categories. Will make app discovery much more useful!
My only gripe is that it doesn't show the file size for an app UNTIL you start downloading. This is info that needs to stay up front!
I agree with just about everything you said. They did great with the new market. So you are not. Having the same speed issues as me?

Oops I left that part out. It IS a lil slow compared to the old market, little lag but nothing too crazy. I think mostly b/c there is much more info on each page now and the way it loads the thumbnails/images, even though they are smaller. I'm sure they will iron it out quickly though
Google did an amazing job.
It looks so clean and beautiful, everything is organized better, etc. And I'm not having the slow loads or anything that you are having. It's actually faster. With the old market you would click download and it would take a second or 2 to start, but on this new market I click download and it's literally instant. I love it.
It actually looks like a market that should be on a high end OS/phone, unlike the old market.
Slow for me as well. It'll take a while to get used to the new format, but so far so good.

just trying it out too -- its pretty slick. The front page is a little busy perhaps, but overall its great.
I'm liking it as well.
Installed it earlier.. Love it!!
new market is slick as hell. I love it. I don't really notice too much of a lag compared to the old market, which I hated in the first place especially in landscape mode. The new one looks more sophisticated.
fyi, in case nobody caught on, when you hit the menu button and go into setting while in the market, you can deselect "recieve interest based ads". I don't know if that had anything to do with it but I really don't have any lag. Also, I pulled the battery right after I installed it so some of you guys might wanna try that too.
Coming from the epic touch forum. Switched to skyrocket yesterday. How many people adjust there screen density to a lower amount to make stuff smaller more like the galaxy nexus screens. Currently im at 160 and think it looks good. Just curious if anyone else is dropping it?
I change mine 192. I found that to be the best for reading and using gingerbread keyboard. I've noticed Swype and the Samsung keyboard resize well at 160. what keyboard do you use?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Theres no point to changing your LCD density because if you do nothing in the market will work for you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Actually a few density apps do it in a manner that does not affect the market.

Actually that's not true... While I don't know of any LCD density apps that don't affect the market, there is a workaround that seems to work pretty well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21899025#post21899025
Just follow the instructions and hopefully it will work for you too... I've updated my programs and installed a few that weren't letting me before... Soo happy I don't have to reset my LCD settings everytime I want to update an app or install something new...lol
That's bs I use LCD density and I'm using 720p settings...I download any and everything no problem. Some apps won't display correctly but most do. I am using latest skyicecream rom and go launcher with all Widgets. Fixes little issues with displaying apps. Man I thought it just resized things to appear at different resolution but after trying YouTube videos like big buck bunny in HD at 720p density it is like night and day clarity...I mean you have to see to believe....download LCD density and watch big buck bunny normal then change density to 720p....go back to YouTube app and watch it again...your jaw will drop I promise....

Well, the white effect from the top and bottom in most apps, and the blue effect on the sides in the Gallery are a design feature of Android. Just like how iOS has its bounce back effect, Android has this 'holo' thing going for it.

That's because the HTC One S and One run the HTC Sense skin, and don't even run a stock Google OS.
I came from the One S myself... radio broke badly after a failed Maxiums 10 install.
The "glow" is new, kinda weirded me out at first but I've got used to it.

Looks like whatever rom you are running has the old xhdpi calculator from ics/jb judging by the grey bars on the side of the screen. So you have both ICS blue holo and the new white kit kat over scroll glow at the same time. #blametheromdev
