For me the newer sense clock in HD based roms is kind of a mixed bag. While I like the occasional flip animation from time to time, I could really do without the that little 01:02 flip animation that plays every time the screen's turned on. I'm talking about the default one with weather by the way.
Is there a tweak or flashable zip to disable this "extra" feature? I'd even forego animations completely and settle with the old static sense clock. Searching the forum revealed threads that talk about bringing the new clock to older stock based ROMs, not the other way around.. I'm using RcMix HD based Gingersense. Thanks.
imo this feature is just to check that the clock has the newest time
also i think it is more ressource friendly

So I just want to get a feel for what peeps are using these days.
Do you Sesnse or NonSense ROM?
At first I like Sense when I bought the phone, but now I like nonSense better each day. Although, I still missed some of the widgets such as FriendStream from Sense though.
Ever since I started using Launcherpro, I don't think I can use Sense ever again. The only Sense App I miss the calendar lol.
I love the weather animation on the homescreen and most of the widgets
I like sense and the widgets, but I cannot believe that the evo didn't get the ability to have a landscape homescreen. I had been using Zen's MyTouch2 port on the hero and it has the ability to rotate the full sense homescreens.... Why they wouldn't include this for a phone that has a kickstand and is obviously going to spend time horizontal is beyond me.
Anyway, I prefer horizontal homescreen orientation for use in my car dock. I haven't had time to pull all the apps I don't want out of my Flipz build yet, but when I do I will probably switch back to Helix and delete all the sense apps and widgets...Until we get a sense build that rotates or until we get a real AOSP build. I would love to use a Cyanogen build with the 360 degree rotation built it, that is the coolest feature IMO.
I used to like Sense. Evo is my first Android phone. I thought Sense was great from watching reviews and such.
After a while, I started to get more and more into custom ROMs. I flashed the test build of Froyo on to the Evo and it was great.
I realized I never used any of the widgets except for the switches, and there are nonSense alternatives. I just like the nonSense 'feel', I guess. No real explanation, just a preference.
I loathe Sense. The rounded corners. The gimmicky widgets. I like a nice clean interface. adw.launcher is working pretty good on 2.1, but vanilla Froyo is the best.
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
Been searching through the forums for an answer on this, but couldn't seem to find it. Is there way to get the zoom in and zoom out transitions from opening and closing apps on sense? I'm running skyraiders 3.5...
I've seen the custom ones from uncommon theme, but it isn't smooth and I'm just looking for the stock zoom in and zoom out ones.
Any help?? Is this doable or is it not on the sense framework? Thanks!!
Yes.
Run Launcher Pro.
I started using it about a week ago and haven't turned back. Essentially you are doing away with the Sense Homescreens all-together, but believe me, you won't miss 'em
LP has some pretty sweet home screen to home screen transitions too:

In the video you can see the zoom in -zoom out effects when he goes into settings and other apps.
You can speed up *that* effect by using "spare parts" - which is included in SR 3.5
How can I add widget/shortcuts to sense 3 lockscreen, or is this not possible yet? Flashed sense 3.0 lockscreen from leedroid 3.01 ROM.
Thanks for any help.
I haven't really received any responses when i asked but i think these are the things you get:
The Ring Unlock
A new music control widget (when music player is active)
A different look when you have an alarm (you have to drag the ring onto snooze or dismiss)
SMS/Missed Call notification
I don't think any customization is possible with the version you can download at the moment (correct me if im wrong)
Yeah all that is right. I thought I could customize it to show apps that I could then open straight from the lockscreen. Guess that is coming later on?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
well that's really the cool feature i was hoping for when installing it. Sadly this is not implemented yet.
I'm not even sure where these Sense 3.0 Rom parts came from. Are they from the leaked Sensation ROM and resized for the DHD? That would mean, that the leaked ROM didn't have the customization feature either (or it's in another file which isn't included in the download for the 3.0 lockscreen).
I'm just rambling here, i don't really know much about these things
The leaked lockscreen everyone is using in their ROMs is not from the Sensation but rather from the Espresso leak (because the resolution was correct), which doesn't have the feature to add widgets to the lockscreen.
The devs are still working on resizing the Sensation ROM.
Hey Guys and Girls,
I love roms,I am always flashing new ones but I have an idea and I need help getting it.So I like sense but love gingerbread,the thing i love about sense is the lock screen where i can drag the apps to the bubble.Thats pretty much it,so I want to have gingerbread as my actual home screen,app screen,and for my keyboard.I know this sounds pretty crazy but can anyone help me find a rom or apps that can help my obtain this.Answers to this quetion would be very appreciated
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.
