Hello,
Is there a possibility to mod the HTC Sense so that it can accommodate more icons on the homescreen?
For example, ADW Launcher allows you to put as many icons as you can reasonably put on the homescreen, or other screens for that matter.
Is there anyone out there tweaking the HTC native sense?
Thanks.
Have you tried multicon widget...search in the market I'm poetry sure that's the name you can put 4ever icons in the space where one would go...don't know if that helps, if it does then your welcome

Thanks,
that has done great.
I prefer Elixir. Less messy than Multicon.
These both look messy. SiMi Folder is an elegant option... try it!

Have you really tried Elixir before saying that? It's so wrong that I really doubt you did.
There's nothing messy with Elixir icons. You can create as many separate widgets as you like so you can allocate icons by thematic widget if you wish.
If you meant "putting icons instead of folders makes homescreens messy" that's a different thing but I still don't agree with the "messy" term.

Has anyone tried this??
It's in the top free downloads on the market, and I definitely recommend it!
It has the fly in effect when you open/close an app (a la iPhone) which makes everything feel so much more fluid.
Obviously HTC widgets don't work which is a shame, and its a little buggy being a beta, but you should try it!
Just downloaded it to give it a try. I like it.
The only downside is there is no choice of what to put on the bottom bar. I don't use the people or stock messaging app. If I could change them I'd probably use this over helix 2.
Busy trying it out now - it's extremely quick. I think I'll keep using it for a while, see how it goes.

The standard helix is actually better then this one. Especially in speed and customization

agree,
the only thing thats stopping me from using a launcher is no htc widgets and not being able to customize the grid of icons on the desktop so 4v4 only :<

how can you change the grid of icons in HTC Desire to more than 4 icons ???
Also i think that the Sense launcher is by far the smoothest and the best so far. nothing can beat it in speed, fluencity and HTC widgets.
Is there any way or tweak to increase number of rows or columns in DHD Sense? I didn't find that option in Settings. I mean something similar you can do using ADW Launcher. DHD screen is big, having just 4x4 icon number is ridiculous. Even if you push all apps button, you can see 5 rows already on the screen.
ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro is not a solutions for me, as then you need to look for various alternative widgets and other stuff, that is already so nicely designed within Sense.
Any clue?

Thanks for prompt answer. It is interesting concept (on the pictures it is used with ADW Launcher) which I can get into during some more creative mood ...Anyway it doesn't have to be solved now (I guess this issue could be one of the reasons ADW and Launcher Pro were ever made), but small neat app just asking something like 4x5 or 5x5 or 6x5, etc... would be so cool.
Decided to use SIMI folders. Not exactly what I was looking for, but still easy and elegant solution.

Well, it is system information tool, I am not looking for such a stuff, need desktop adjustment tool/organizer within Sense UI.
Well, here is some update on solutions which I found in the meantime:
1. this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915472 is exactly what I was looking for, though installation instructions are not easy to follow.
2 Going to try this one http://h9kdroid.com/multicon/, no brainer.
hey guys,
do you know if there is a way to add additional tabs/screens/more widget space to htc sense?
i've found nothing so far, but maybe i'm just using the wrong search buzzwords.

7 screens is the max on sense. Some launchers may give you the option top have more, but I'm not sure.
And why would you need more than that anyway, if you have filled 7 screens with widgets your battery life must be awful.

48-72 hours battery life and more tabs would be nice for a quicker access to the stuff i need. i've hoped that there is a hack for this sense version to add more tabs
Try Elixir. It will not add any homescreen but it will let you put more stuff in the same space.
I'll try that home option.
SiMi Folder is the most elegant option I have seen to date
I had asked a similar question before but didn't get a clear answer, is there any way to add sense based widgets into adw launchers framework or any file at that to apply them wile running it? I figured it was possible because the .apks run but when I try to add a widget they aren't listed. Any help is much appreciated.

I've never been able to do this myself and I've tried a few times....I believe it probably can't be done because sense widgets are baked in as part of sense launcher. It'd be like trying to use launcher pro widgets in got sense UI. They're two separate entities each with their own goodies. I know you can get sense like widgets off the market. But anyways my belief is you can't do this but if you discover otherwise please let me know

Same boat kinda... The only thing I miss is the calendar that is in month view like in the basic stock.
Yeah I'm sure someone can make it happen though. If I find anything ill be sure to let you know.

Nope, they're tied to Rosie, I'm sure.
Use Launcherpro and Beautiful Widgets. Together, they create a very very close imitiation of Rosie. Beautiful Widgets has the people widget and Calendar widget that look exactly like Sense.
And if you like the clock, use Fancy Widget. A whole combination of these on a different ROM will make you think you're using Sense
Yeah I'm just gunna cut my losses and stick with a stock warm z rom. Any good dashboards recommended? I am a fan of the adw honey comb theme

LP? Yeah, I just usually do a search for Launcherpro in the Market and it comes up. But if LP makes you happy, let's flash a ROM to celebrate.
Is there any way to change this to something more useful? I love Sense after coming from the Fascinate but imho that is a pointless button to have on the dockbar.

Afraid not. :/
Dang haha. That's my only gripe with this *stock* phone. However I did just find LPSense on my old sd card so that will work for now.
If you haven't tried it out you should its pretty sick. Same look as Sense but all the customization of Launcher Pro

Download the Inc-S skin with browser icon. All of these skins/themes work with our phone. I've verified it.
I have tried these and it seems like the peraonalize buttons icon just changes to a browser icon. It doesn't actaully make it a shortcut to the browser.

yea i have one of those skins too same with me. only a browser icon not an actual shortcut
I'll try to find a link to the LPSense download and post it when i get home.

what exactly is launcher pro anyway?
^ If you know what "HTC Sense" means in terms of looks, Launcher Pro is a Launcher program that allows you to fully customize your homescreen. Way apps look, way the app drawer launchers, etc.
