[Q] rotating home screen htc sense - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to find to rotate my homescreen without having to use any other launcher app such as adw, open home, etc... I'm am using 2.2 froyo sense skyraider 3.1 with Hydra oc kernel, can any1 help me out here plz?
Just an example though, I would look like the MOTO Droid screen when its keyboard is out!

As far as ive seen, ive tested almost every rom except nightly builds and fun roms, its only vanilla versions that have rotatable home screens no sense roms ive used do that.

SENSE UI or NO SENSE?

I have been using sense ui virt rom.
I loved it but noticed a bit of lost of speed when I flashed cyanogen v7.
Cyanogen was really fast for me compared to virt. rom.
What do u guys prefer?

Well sense is slower due to the fact its "packed". Well I really like sense, it looks really good. Love the wigets the most but I like cyan more because.... umm I just like it better lol.

Sense widgets aren't as fast, but I do love the Sense clock app, the Sense clock widget, contacts widget and photo gallery widget.
the calendar widget is very laggy compared to Launcher Pro, and the actual dock/launcher bar at the bottom is a very wasteful way to use precious screen real estate. I mean - who really needs such a large button for the phone?
Launcher Pro/ADW Ex and other launchers make it really easy to save screen space by having scrollable launcher/docks...but with Sense it just wastes space.
I am using a GingerVillain ROM with ADW Ex and it works pretty well. But I am missing some of those Sense apps/widgets!
cyanogenmod is faster ,has better battery life,its more up to date and is more customizable.
sense/virtouos has much better apps and widgets such as camera,contacts,keyboard,phone,etc...
it really comes down to personal preferences.
I personally have set them both exactly the way i like and installed all the
apps that i need on them and made a back up so i regulary change between
them whenever i feel like it.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I like Sense better now than Vanilla. I have been using the vanilla for a long time now and then tried switching to sense a week ago and I love it.
I'm not a fan of the sense homescreen though but I love the camera app, phone app, gallery, and the minor quirks you get with it.
The only downside though is that IMO it drains twice as fast as stock.

Is there a camera app like sense on the market? I'm missing the touch to focus.

Sense, no question. The superior camera, music, and contacts apps are a no-brainer, IMO. I don't use the Sense launcher, though - LauncherPro for me. I tried Cm7 and honestly didn't see that big of a difference. I get 12-15hours of moderate use with Virtuous v1.0, which is the best Sense ROM out there.

What do u think about the speed on virtuous vs cyonagen
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
CM is definitely faster, mainly because its built for that, specifically. Sense is built to give a better user experience. Apples and Oranges. With the stock Virtuous kernel, I don't notice a significant speed difference vs CM.

Without sense. No question.
From my permarooted overclocked HTC G2 with cyanogen 7 nightly via XDA app
Is there any way to get the alarm clock to put a notification in the notification bar on the Sense UI like it does in the Vanilla ROMs? Everytime I hit snooze I wonder if I hit the right button. I'm currently using Virtuous v1.0.0 for the G2/DZ.
I like the sense over the "vanilla" the G2 came with. I've been using virtuous since the day it came out and have loved it. I haven't used CM but I' am comfortable with sense
i currently use MIUI but i loved sense when i used it the only thing i didint like was that you couldnt get it to not autocap , i know it sounds stupid but its really one of my pet pev's , i switch back and forth from now & again but does anyone know how to make it so it doesent autocap on sense virtu rom ?

[Q] Stock gingerbread launcher.

Please tell me why people like it? It has 3 non changable icons that stay one color and looks like its out of place compared to the rest of a home screen setup.
Just wondering whats so great about it? Am i missing something?
Sent from prison
different strokes for different folks.
It gives more of a stock feeling than ADW. And the trashcan is on the bottom dock, the only reasons I used it, then I moved to ADW for honeybread
Sent from my HTC Vision
I actually think it looks a bit better than adw. It gives more of a clean look.

Because the app drawer is the best app drawer of all of them! Especially with a phone with good graphics!

Isn't the same effect app drawer available on adw and lppro?
Sent from prison
Well gb launcher2 is just so much smoother then adw or lp. Home screen scrolling is buttery smooth, and the transition for opening the app drawer is much nicer then the other two. The app drawer cube effect shows 5 rows in the fold compared to the others. Now that I can use themes in CM7 without adw, I use it.
And in the stock launcher the apps in the drawer "bounce" much smoother than LP, not as laggy
I believe i read somewhere on here that the stock launcher is hardware accelerated. That is why is runs faster and smoother.
I personally prefer anything stock. Stock apps seem, to me at least, to be smaller and faster. Try to keep the fluff to a minimum.
I love stock anything! My Nexus One made me love the 3D app drawer, and on my G2, its only smoother! I can't wait to see how smooth a stock dual core Android 2.4 phone from Google is gonna be! The G2x is a good example, however it will be froyo, meaning not fully dual core compatible like 2.4 will be! My guess....Nexus X by Motorola! I can wish, can't I??

I just love that stock vanilla google experience...same when ICS, Jellybean drop...ill stick to stock...no overlays or launchers for me...BTW is there a zip I can flash for the gingerbread launcher over adw in CM7..? (There was one for NS)
Edit: I know there's a couple in the market but those aren't as smooth as the ones in NS Development...

Hey,
I really didn't have to do anything but flash it. I flashed this over the ILWT cm7 rom and it just worked right out of the box (on 187b as well as 204).
I wouldn't know how to improve the performance of the launcher, except for common guesses such as reflashing/wiping and such.
Maybe it's just a different understanding of what "working really well" means. I never did get it to work perfectly buttery smooth, a very tiny lag always remained (even though it was running a lot better than adw).

What rom are u using?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
This only works on sense ginger roms, no?
This will only work on gingerbread sense roms. I'm pretty excited for three point oh. I'm waiting for a full port though. There aren't many good, updated gingersense roms available IMO.

Working great for me. Thanks!
Now, let's find the apk that controls the accept/reject calls, dismiss/view calendar, etc...
That would be awesome. I have it on my Desire and it's really nice
doesnt seem to be working for me on virtuous it doesnt recognise that its an APK
Wanted this forever! Too bad ot won't run on meXperia v3 ): will check back for updates

Will this work with never-rooted Gingerbread Desire Z?
To anyone using miui there is a lockscreen in the theme manager download section that is more or less the same lockscreen from 3.0

Agile Lock in the Market is a much better Sense 3 lockscreen. The one linked in the OP is from the Doubleshot aka the myTouch 4G Slide, and it's not the complete Sense 3 lockscreen. It doesn't have shortcuts, widgets or customizations.

Regarding using the Sense 3 lockscreen? As noted this is a replacement lockscreen that looks and has similar features as the Sense 3 lockscreen, decided to check it out.
So, bought the full paid Agile Lock app for $1.40 from the android market...so far so good. Lots of settings and also on screen widgets + apps.

[Q] People Widget

Hello.
If I pull HTC People Widget from stock ROM & install on CM7, that widget will working on ADW Launcher or not?
Nope.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
thanks for quick reply.
I don't think anybody has ever been able to pull the HTC widgets out, and make them work on non-Sense ROMs. They are too integrated into the Sense framework. Plus, they only work with the HTC launcher, even on Sense ROMs.

Sense 2.1?

Is there a ROM for the latest updated EVO 4G that is stock sense 2.1 just like the thunderbolt? I like the way to lockscreen changes depending on what skin you're using. I'm currently using a sense 2.1+3.0 ROM and love it but I like the change in lockscreen like a stock thunderbolt. Thanks in advance
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I don't know of any roms for the evo that have that type of capability but as I have refered some people before pm either king or virus or some of the other devs and they might bring a port over to the evo. Also idk if you like the sense roms, but MIUI has themes like this. They change the lockscreen with each theme change.
Some skins will change your lock screen on all the sense 2.1 , 2.1-3.0 ,3.0 ROMs you just have to find a themed skin you could even find and try ones from other phones as long as they are for a 2.1 ROM they should work on the 2.1 and 2.1-3.0 ROMs and if its for a 3.0 well you get it.
