[Q] Sense Gingerbread - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm looking to dabble into sense a little. My only thing is it takes for every to set up. So I see there is Unity and Coredroid. Both have sense 3.0. I'm looking for a pure gingerbread stock type rom. Id prefer not to have sense 3.0. But if its my only option that's cool as well. I know rmk said he's not releasing a stock sense until it comes out for the desire z and I have his froyo on my computer. Just trying to see what's up there. Its hard to search on tapatalk. A name is all I need. I don't mind scrolling back tons n tons of pages.

Coredroid made me like sense. The is a gb sense leak from htc. Rmk is talking about sense 3.0. But if you want a stock gb sense there is one in the dev section.
I personally didn't dig it. Try coredroid see how you like it

Yeah I had a coredroid backed up. I had FINALLY set it all up and then just backed up to come back to later. I'm using it right now and I like it for the most part. Not as light as pure aosp roms but who knows. I said ill give it a trial run. Do you know how to disable the regular messaging app so no notifications come up. Like on the icon or anything. I'm using handcent because stock loads too slow

No I don't sorry. There are some issues with core I wish I could fix. Only allows 1page texts..after 160 they don't get the message at all. You don't get an error but it didn't go through. I really wish I could get some pointers on deving because I would love to dedicate mucho time to make it actually stable and fast.

plain android rom

I wood really like a rom which is just plain android (no htc sense ui). As I would like to use launcher pro beta as my home. Or even better a method of removing sense ui from stock rom.
Thanks
Dion
I would suggest you try one of the Froyo roms if you are wanting a rom without sense ui.

why would you want a nexus one :s its an ugly desire with less ram
In retrospect, i would probably have chosen the nexus too, just for the quicker release of OTA updates from Google. But with this in mind, and when the Desire officially receives the Froyo update, wouldn't updates be released quicker through HTC if they get rid of sense ui?...

I hate sense to. Its the stupiest of all home screen. But installing anything else means rooting which I dont like just now.
It is impossible to use any ROM except the stock ROM on a non-rooted desire.

Wow, why get a phone with Sense if you're going to complain?
Try out adw launcher or the stock Nexus One launcher us available for download as well. You do lose all things Sense if you use it though.

I found the stock launcher here and installed it on my Desire and used it with no problems, you can also find the really cool gallery app from the Nexus One here which has some really cool features that I wish HTC hadn't taken out ie date/location grouping.

I don't hate sense. I do hate the sense homescreen which i have replaced by launcherpro. But the facebook integration and the interface changes do make an addition imo! It could be smoother though ,hope that changes in 2.2

great job, hope this can release ASAP.
This looks interesting, though what exactly is different between this future ROM, and the rom for the Desire Z? It just seems like another Sense ROM to me.
Please don't take that the wrong way. It's great that you're porting different ROMs over to the G2! I'm just curious since I don't understand what sets it apart from a regular Sense ROM like Virtuous.

well so far the diferences are:
new widgets like a power control widget
email widget has been revamped
also there is a exchange widget? dunno how it differs from email
the new app drawer icon
um settings is a bit different
agenda widget
htc likes widget
there like 2 new people widgets
and twitter widget looks kind off dirent i guess.
edit: iv been told most of this is not new, bunch of this widgets are alredy in desire z builds, im guessing rmk40 ripps them out, or i never looked for them.
i will post more screen shots if i can.
btw wifi and bluetooth are fixed now.

Data should work? again i have no data plan to test this.
and probably something else i forgot.
expect a release tonight, iv been warned that comming soon threads are not allowed so, i will release a beta build, so you guys can test it out.
Regardless if we already have Desire Z Sense, I don't like the way Virtuous is going. Thank you for this Port!

Really? Curious as to why you're making that statement.
I'm running it right now, seems to be pretty smooth with decent battery life but issues with mms, screen randomly flashing and a couple other things are annoying.
REMOVED in request of the Thread Owner
GOOD JOB ON THE PORTS!
Cimer said:
Well I don't like the UI changes that are going on, and I do not see some of my wish list features that kind of make sense.
Some UI changes that I do not like is the "3G+" Even though that used to be accurate I like my H and if Virtuous was going to decide to change the H icon the only icon I would not mind is a "4G" icon because that term is accurate now.
I don't like what they did with the personalized button, I liked the old way better it looked nicer and I find it to be useful because I like changing certain UI things up which Sense allows me to do.
Also Virtuous buddy does not seem to work as well as I would hope and I can not access the main settings part, which leaves me kind of frustrated because I would like to know if I could change what I did not like above.
What I would like to be changed is when you slide down the notifications bar I would like a power control rather than recent apps, I have a home screen for that and the app drawer can be just as quick.
I don't know if this last part is possible or not, but I would like more themes, or just a flat bar like slate with the HTC skin to it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is a mod to make it a power contol, in the thread.
He said virtuous buddy is still beta.
If you don't like the personalize button.. flash the stock launcher.. yet again there is a mod for that in the thread.
The 3g+ icon is stock with the ROM. That's how HTC put it.
Make more themes since your so needy.
Conclusion: Read in the thread. Almost ALL that stuff you was complaining about besides the 3g+ icon is fixable, if you Read and stop complaining. Better yet don't flash the ROM. And I highly doubt RMK or HTC care about your wish list.

[Q] Which ROM?

Alright guys I feel like I've flashed like ten different senseless roms by now with no dice... I'm looking for a Rom that has the gingerbread look and feel of OMFGB, salvage mod, or cm 7 but that still incorporates sense features. The sense features I really want are the contact list with Facebook sync and the camera apk..... with the sense camera a user can tap the screen where they want it to focus.... this is a big deal to me and all gingerbread roms so far can't do these things.... the closest thing I've found to my liking is skyraider Athena but unfortunately Athena is froyo...... I want gingerbread. Any help?

I agree, if you're still wanting sense but with a couple cm7 features then skyraider fits the bill.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The above statements are factual.... Skyraider 4.0 is the way to go
Alright....so Skyraider is a bit too sense-y for my liking....I didn't want full sense but rather sense apps....BUT I actually forgot posted this thread til just now and hadn't seen any replys..I actually ended up flashing Skyraider 4.0 before I even saw recommendations....let me just say this is the best Rom in the world. I didn't like sense because it was laggy but the way that sense is incorporated in this build is beautiful. I flashed chads 12/23 kernel on it and the combination is awesome...and it runs seamlessly while underclocked to 844! Plus my battery life is just beautiful compared to other roms....and no overheating problems! I have found my phones god send lol.thank you guys for the help and to anyone reading this thread that hasn't tried SR 4.0 I really recommend you give it a shot. Thanks guys

Not sure if you have tried it yet but you might want to check out Lou's #8 kernel for your SkyRaider. I had really good results using it, but you millage may vary.
Lous kernels confuse me....I don't understand all the multi touch hocus pocus

Multitouch is just the ability for the phone to recognize 3-10 separate touch points simultaneously. Only use I know of is for gaming with emulators where you have your controls on screen.

All of those are included. I tried to get rid of ALL of the sense and figured I can slowly add back based on demand. It will always be senseless though, so it will only include a few of the most popular apps and widgets from sense... And for the record I almost left the sense calendar...haha

Sense launcher on cm7

I'm looking to get a custom sense launcher on cm7. I don't have time to port it or see how possible it it. I don't want a theme for lpp. I want the sense launcher. Here is a thread on the one I want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148978
If its not possible ok, but ppl on a sense Rom test it too please. I think it will work for you. But I would love to have this with a cm7 Rom.

This would be an interesting mod indeed. Also the linked thread is pretty neat what he managed to do. I think something to that effect would have to be done to make this work.
Sent from my Droid Incredible 2
this wouldnt work the frame work on sense is completely different than aosp roms and cm7. you could install a theme to make it look like sense such as launcher 7 and fancy widgets, but simply taking the sense launcher apk and installing it on cm7 will not work.
The kernel needs to be configured for sense...hence why there are kernels marked aosp only and sense only. Though, if I'm not mistaken, aosp can work with a sense kernel under certain conditions. Also, apparently other sense devices have roms which are true sense roms merged with aosp to offer all the customization while maintaining the sense experience. It should be only a matter of time before we get one of those.
