[Q] Cyanogen with sense

is it possible to get cyanogen's mod with the sense ui...basically the best of both worlds

In a short answer- No. What exactly do you need from sense ui (rosie) and cyanogen specifically? What do you want from one or the other? Deficitism and ihtfp69 have created roms that combine the best of both worlds one would say with Uncommon Sense and Skyraider Vanilla. So reply with what you specifically want in the rom...and I can better recommend things for you.

Add IncDoes Sense/AOSP "Best of Both Worlds" to that list. Its not fully stable but it might be something to watch. This is an AOSP rom with some sense elements integrated, like the camera, gallery and dialer (I think). However you wont find Rosie (the sense launcher) on any AOSP roms here yet. The two mentioned in the previous post are sense roms that have been trimmed down.

well for sense widgets i really like the clock with the weather, favorites widget, and friend stream and i lock the lock screen too, but the vanilla on is nice because you can set phone to vibrate from there.

Sounds like Uncommon Sense may be the rom you want. It's got those things you've listed

Use cyanogen.. get beautiful Widgets for the clock from the market. Get launcherpro and use the friends widget. The friend widget is the same as friendstream.

Thanks for the help guys

At this point, koush or cyanogen woulden't put sense into CM. Thats what Makes CM a really good stock AOSP rom. For the Best of both worlds I would definitely try a Sky Raider rom. XD

This is probably the closest you'll get with AOSP. Other then that I'd recomment Skyraider Vanilla, which is based off sense so you get the sense goodies with the vanilla look.
If you want specifially Cyanogen, which is made to be Vanilla android, you can install the Black Notification bar which will put sense icons on top instead of the vanilla ones

[Q] Question to all you rom freaks out there

Hey Guys and Girls,

install a sense rom then install a launcher from the market
Sent From My Optimized HTC Incredibly Since

Agile lock from the market is a nice sense 3.0 lockscreen clone. Its still inferior as the software is a little edgy and there aren't any sms previews like the sense 3.0 one has. I currently use this with CM7 along with sms popup from the market and it works great.
Otherwise download a stable sense rom with the sense 3.0 lockscreen (Nils Gingersense, Synergy) and use a different launcher.
There's also SupraROM which is an AOSP Sense 3.0 mix, but I'm not sure if it has the sense lockscreen.

I know when I ran MIUI about a month ago there was a Sense ring lockscreen you could install in Theme Manager. The downside was I couldn't figure out how to pick what apps other than the ones it gave you. Maybe that's changed, not sure there.

Ah right, I forgot about this option.
I do believe that they can be changed. You have to edit a text file though so its not as easy as HTC makes it. There's a MIUI lockscreen thread with a few of those sense ring lockscreen alternatives. However they all have one thing in common: when releasing the ring, the screen immediately unlocks. No cool "fly through the ring" effect.

Div033 is correct on the MIUI sense 3.0 lockscreens, they look pretty much identical but lack the fancy animation.
I'm not sure what the OP means by this:

By gingerbread, do you mean the stock AOSP look? Because if so, you could use agile lock on CM7, like has already been mentioned, or maybe try the synergy rom with the warm theme. It has the sense 3.0 lockscreen but is themed with quite a few AOSP gingerbread elements.

[Q] Gingerbangvanilla Customizations

I just installed Gingerbangvanilla 1.7 and I like it, but I was wondering if there was any way to customize the launcher, i.e. disable home screen looping, edit number of home screens, change lock screen. I came from the Fascinate and loved TSM on it but was hoping for "TSM Parts"

Go get ROM manager and tsm pool party is in there. Its a direct port from pool party on the fascinate if I'm not mistaken.

tsm parts is kind of straight forward to port to samsung touchwiz phones, but is insanely difficult (at least for me) to make work on a sense rom
i *think* i might be able to get the status bar tweaks working on it...but lockscreens are more difficult as samsung already allowed for multiple lockscreens by default in touchwiz (glass, puzzle) so it was a lot simpler (still insane)
but my focus was to make stable roms off the latest ota and add various tweaks as i could...and i think the results have been good so far

yes, poolparty is an aosp port by omj of sbrissen's version on the fascinate...if you want tsm parts on this phone thats the way to go (awesome rom!)

Right now I'm using MIUI and I'm loving it. You can get tons of different themes and lockscreens. And if you don't like the iPhone like launcher, download a different one like go launcher ex. My personal favorite. I'm using the stock MIUI launcher.

I love the stability of this ROM so I'll deal with the lockscreen and I installed GO Launcher EX. My main problem with AOSP ROMs is the mail app has a problem with Hotmail so this will work for now.

Any chance for a 3.0 style or a ripple lock(Honeycomb) style lockscreen Mod?? I love GingerbangVanilla either way.....

sense 3.0 lockscreen (which is available by patch for gingerbangvivow) would require rosie to work correctly...well at least to edit/use properly...as personalize doesnt work with the sense launcher (you would be stuck with whatever settings/skins u had pre-flash
alternative lockscreens are extremely difficult in sense besides aosp (well super easy) and rotary (not easy but its in the framework already)...nothing is impossible of course...just beyond my scope of abilities

Why is HTC Sense 3.0 better than GO Launcher?

I've got a rooted and deodexed Inc2 running Virtuous Unitity 2.39. Ihave the HTC Sense 3.0 it comes with as well as GO Launcher...and have Home Switcher App to change from one to the other.
It seems to me that having the 5 button selection bar on the bottom (that can be swiped and added to unlimited times) is so much more efficient use of space and provides better choice that it removes any rationale to have anything like HTC Sense with it's standard three choices (and only two which are really used much).
What am I missing? Why can't others have the great lower selection choices of GO Launcher (is it correct calling this the Rosie bar?)? What does the HTC Sense give me that is more functional and useable?
The VU2.3.9 runs fine and was a clean and easy install.

If you change the launcher from Sense to something else, don't you lose the other Sense add-ons like the Weather Widget, Lock Screen and Themes?

You do lose the sense Widgets but like go and launcher pro they have built in Widgets. The lockscreen is an additional apk. Themes will stick as far as status bar goes. Also launcher pro, adw, and go launcher have downloadable themes.

No with launcher pro plus
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium

The only reason I use Sense 3.0 is for the gadgets and the purdy interface, I would have switch to something else like the gingervanilla, other AOSP or RMK debloated stock rom if I were to use Go launcher.

You do lose some Sense widgets, but the lockout screen stays tied to Sense. For example, I have the weather on the lockout screen, but even when I switch to GO, the lockout screen after has the fancy weather animation.
I get a "sense" that there is not really a reason to deal with the HTC Sense launcher other than looks, but if I am wrong, let me know where.
I do know that I love having the 5 button rosie which I can spin to more 5 button rosies at the bottom. Much better use of screen real estate.

Sense is nice and its all preference

Can you know to me what's this your theme ?
i like the battery...Im using ROM BAMF...so Can I use this theme?

Are you sayin that running LauncherPro Plus over Sense you can still load the Sense widgets, and they work?

No launcher pro plus has the "sense" widgets built into the launcher. They are look alike

I didn't like the sense-like Widgets. They didn't have the same feel as the real thing. But I do still prefer LP to anything else including Sense (most of the time)
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium

I think that is a loaded question. My thinking is Sense is for people that like Sense and AOSP roms are for people that don't care for it. I'm just trying to make things simple.

IMO, sense feels more professional, while anything else is for enthusiasts. And the Widgets in lpp are cool and all, but really they are a joke compared to the sense Widgets. And the intergration is nice too, something aosp hasn't done yet.

I actually don't care for the Sense widgets or the Rosie launcher at all. I use the Pure Messenger widget from the Market, and while it's not as pretty as a Sense widget, it combines e-mail, text/sms messages, phone calls, facebook and twitter into a single messaging widget as opposed to Sense's separate widgets for each.
As for the launcher, I just can't justify dedicating the whole bottom of the screen to 2 buttons - the app drawer and the phone button. The customize button is stupid, once you have the phone set up the way you like, that button is largely useless.
Of course, these are just my opinions, but to me, Sense is far from superior/more professional than anything else.

The Clock with weather is the main reason most stick to Sense, it has a cleaned look/feel that add to the homescreen. I personally can't do AOSP I miss the weather clock from sense until I switch back, I love unlocking my phone to a new animation

Fancy widget pro is better than the sense clock, you can get the senseclock, plus tons of different themed clocks, that is what i use. I like the sense photo album widget, which is pretty much the only widget that doesn't have a replacement app. I can't say i enjoy sense when very much and i usually run an AOSP rom (omfgb currently) but have a couple nice sense rom backups on my phone for when I'm itching to use sense.

[Q] 4.2 lockscreen on 4.1.2 ROM?

This might be a dumb question, but is there any way to port over the 4.2 lockscreen over to a 4.1.2 ROM? I'm currently running Xylon ROM, but I miss multi-window and S-note. The only thing keeping me in this ROM is the lock screen which I love. I was using WidgetLocker on the stock ROM which was OK, but I like the way the 4.2 one works, especially with the swipe-to-the-right camera feature. Anyone know?

Yeah, there is no port and youve alreqdy run the closest substitute as far as I know. I love cLock on cm10.1 and I've found some decwnt widgets that kinda look similar, but it's not quite the same and we definitely don't have the swipe to camera.
