...on Synergy or any Gingersense ROM for that matter...
sorry if I overlooked this somewhere...
I would have posted this in the Synergy rom thread, but I'm "too new" and don't have 10 posts yet :-\

Well the answer is no. You can get rid of the carousel effect by pushing in a none carousel rosie.apk. But of course the widgets will also loose their 3D effect. You will still have the pullring lockscreen though.
...
I understand that you'd loose the 3d effect.
no 3d carousel = no 3d effect. I get that. i'm not that newb. haha...
the 3.0 widgets seem to have more features than the 2.1 ones. specifically the 3.0 mail widget. the 3.0 mail widget has an arrow in the top right corner that allows you to toggle between multiple accounts, or view all. you can only do this in the 2.1 mail widget by selecting the view of a specific account (or all accounts) when you first add the widget...
having 3 different email accounts, I much prefer the 3.0 mail widget. but I don't care about the 3d effect, and would rather keep the extra memory that the 3d carousel kills.
p.s. wildstang: I wasn't snapping at you. its just that I PMed JoelZ, and he said the same thing about loosing the 3d effect... lol

You could just use a different launcher... You'll lose the Sense widgets but other elements of Sense (FB integration in contacts, etc) will remain. I've gotta say I'm not terribly fond of HTC's launcher so far, buncha wasted space on the bottom bar and the layout makes very little sense (why do I need a permanent button to add additional shortcuts to my screens?).
Widget apps like Beatiful Widgets and Pure Calendar can easily replace most of the HTC Widgets... I'll probably go thru all of HTC's Widgets tomorrow to see if there's any I'll miss before trying out a different launcher. My 2 cents...
Give Helix launcher from the market a try. It keeps a sticky row of your most used apps at the bottom. Very handy. It also turn landscape.
Hey guys...
I know I'm late in the game but I just got launcher pro now and while I see the potential I'm also seeing some negative aspects...
I relied heavily on my favorites and agenda widgets and now I can't use them (don't even show up under widgets with lp)...what gives? Are there alternatives to these two?
What about htc weather?
I guess my question is...what htc apps/widgets don't work under lp and are there good alternatives for them?
Thanks!

No HTC widgets will work on LP. Search the market for diff calendar widgets and such.

LauncherPro Plus comes with a few Sense like widgets- People, Calendar, Bookmarks, Messaging, Twitter, and Facebook. They are just as good as the Sense ones IMHO.
For the clock with weather download Beautiful Widgets or search xda for the .apk for Fancy Widget.
fancy widget looks exactly like the sense weather/clock widget if your looking for something like that

This has been answered to death all over these forums. The htc widgets will absolutely NOT work without Sense. Period.
As much as I would love to completely dump Sense I think htc really hit the mark on several of their widgets for which there is no equal in the market yet (Scrollable RSS, scrollable Exchange Mail).
However, if you are only looking for favorites and agenda I would recommend checking out LauncherPro Plus. It is a steal at $2.99 and the developer has been working diligently developing widgets with similar functionality to the HTC Sense widgets of which the Favorites, Bookmarks, Calendar, Facebook, Twitter, and Messaging are already done (Future updates are included in the $2.99 price).
I go back and forth between Fresh's ROM which has Sense and CyanogenMod which does not, however, without LauncherProPlus I would not even consider it.
Attention!!!
This thread is for people who use HTC Sense UI, like HTC Sense UI and are NOT interested in hearing your opinion that Sense sucks comparing to LauncherPro, ADW Launcher or how Sense widgets are replaceable by Beautiful Widgets. If you're planning on posting about those - *PLEASE* don't. This thread is for discussing 3D App Drawer port to HTC Sense UI. Thank You.
I've started this topic on LauncherPro's forum, but so far no helpful responses. I was wondering maybe some devs here can help and provide the info I'm looking for.
If you guys aren't registered, here is my last post, which will summarize the issue:
LauncherPro provides the ability to invoke it's internal screens and applications directly from within HTC Sense. It installs "Activities" icon under "Shortcuts" menu in HTC Sense.
For example: click "+" on Sense homescreen -> chose "Shortcuts" -> chose "Activities" -> select "LauncherPro" -> select "Preferences". A new yellow icon will be placed on Sense homescreen and clicking on it will open LauncherPro's preferences screen directly from Sense.
I think there is no reason why 3D App Drawer could not be invoked the same way. I don't know Sense & android well enough to know, in which config file homescreen icons/shortcuts are stored, and I dont know what is the exact name of 3D App Drawer in LauncherPro (should be something like com.fede.launcher.appdrawer), but I think if someone provided that information people should be able to manually modify Sense config files to add this shortcut to Sense desktop.

that would be f***ing amazing. Id love to see a 3D app drawer on sense, like the new G2 and nexus one have.
It sounds interesting, maybe is not posible whk knows maybe developers dont really mind the ither one, anyways i think it should be posted on Q&A

I'm looking for this too!
This is exactly what I am looking for as well. While the other replacement launchers come packed with features they lack any of the wonderful Sense UI Widgets (the wonder of contractual commitment). I love Sense but would like the 3d App Launcher. I hope we can find help...
+1 for this. I love sense widgets but would love the 3d launcher

So are you just trying to change the Rosie all together or just the app drawer?
I would love to see the entire Rosie changed to scrollable.
Once I used Launcher Pro for a couple days I removed Sense from my ROM and never looked back. Scrollable Rosie, 3D App Drawer, Faster, Sexier, paid version and Market has widgets to make it look just like Sense if you want....whats not to love?

+1 theres enough widgets to make up for sense.... and u have all the other advantages, and smoothness.
I expect this is totally possible. I don't use sense much but it is very cool to learn that you can call launcher pro activities from sense. I wonder if there is some debugging method that reveals the activity names for when one app wants to talk to another.
I'd say just ask fede on twitter. He is a pretty accessible guy.

while I pretty much completely agree with the rest of your statement, I don't understand what you mean by scrollable rosie. Rosie is the name of the sense launcher.

Ive wanted this since i started rooting/roming my evo, i love stock android 3d app drawer and the phone/apps/internet homescreen layout over sense, but love sense hd n if this becomes possible before or around sense hd completely ported to evo or released officially the ability to incorporate 3d app drwawer to sense would be a great feature
Becuz its really the details that set these phones apart, just depends wut yu like...
maybe it would be possible using Metamorph? that is the only way i would see this working fluently and without much trouble for less experienced users who do not know how to push files etc
After having LauncherPro (both free and now Plus) for some time, I cannot stand Sense anymore. And if you want widgets, just get Beautiful Widgets.
I would love this functionality. I have ADW.launcher because it allows me to use a sense theme with cyanogen mod, but I love launcher pro's app drawer as you can hide apps (ie adblock icon).

Whoever plans on making such posts in this thread - please read the OP.
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.

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.
specifically, I'm talking about the music widget that has previously played albums on the widget and the gallery widget that shows a tile of pictures from the gallery.Other sexy sense widgets would rock too, if I were able to get them on my EVO easily...
I have these two widgets on my Jetstream but not on my EVO (running synergy).
Are these widgets transferable to other roms like this? I wish HTC Hub had this covered...
