HTC Sense

Ok. So i've searched and searched but can't find it. Is there a way to get htc sense off of an android phone and install it on the xdandroid build?

You can't because Sense is so interwoven into the phone that it would be a huge chore to even get it out and even if you did get it out, it would seriously be buggy as hell.

ah figured as much. Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try extracting it from my htc evo. if i get it working properly i'll release it here.

Technicall you can as it has been done in the past but the skin slows the phone down quite a lot.

dont bother. I had the froyo version of sense running and it is so slow you will want to shoot yourself. The only way it became usable is if you completely remove everything from each window.
Also sense is so massive it never fit on nand. We had to break it up into pieces where the core was installed on nand and apps had to be on the sdcard.
I used the version that came with the Evo, but i think the desire is probably a better candidate. Best of luck, maybe i was too impatient but some peeps like Wozzer mentioned that you can compress the hell out of the images to help with the bulk. Never went that far.

Hmmm I'll give up on it for now. After playing with the evo...I hate sense. Its ugly. Looks like winmo but without the crappyness factor. I'll stick to adw for now

yeah. The sense that came with the evo originally was hideous. And i was shocked to see the winmo version actually being smoother when it came to the weather animation. I know the newer sense builds are nicer but they are just so big. You are looking at 250mb system partition at least for those bad boys.

If you are looking for some nice Sense like animation there are a couple of threads here you can use which will give you that.
arrrghhh posted the Live Wallpapers thread
Enabling this will certainly slow your phone down so you need to go to another thread which arrrghhh put together on Speed Improvements.
I am currently running the following speed improvements and I have some nice fairly smooth animation... Performance of the phone is much better too...
Topic 3 - SD-Booster (cache set to 8192 on 8GB SD)
Topic 4 - Overclocking (650Mhz)
Topic 5 - Turbo Charger (Aggressive 1)
Topic 6 - Manage Apps on Boot (Just the pm disable arrrghhh shows)

i already have speed improvements using arrrghhhs methods. im not looking for live walpapers i was lookin for a nice sense for the xdandroid build lol
to acl- i agree. my evo isnt activated anymore (dont ask why) but i did notice stock sense was smoother. now i run max sense which is a little buggy but still better. xdandroid is awesome i think i will just stick to that. thanks

for those that want this build with sense and still want the tweaks and speed of it i recommend lp sense. its basically launcher pro with a built in sense theme. its very light weight and very useful.

[Q] Strange "missing icons" bug with Ice Cream Sandwich?

Has anyone experienced this bug? I've seen it about 3-4x already. I can't pinpoint what's causing it. I think it might be due to the use of live wallpapers but I'll update if I can find the cause.
Anyway, what happens is when I wake up the phone, there will be ZERO icons or widgets on my home screens. There is absolutely nothing!
Also, when I open up the app drawer, there are no icons in there as well!
There are 2 ways to get it back to normal again. I can open up the task manager and open an existing app that way and then go back to the home screen. Or, I can reboot the phone.
Anyone else seeing this?
UPDATE:
It just happened again, screenshots:

do you have beautiful widgets installed? When I install it I know some icons disappear, for example the blue circle in the pull down notification bar vanishes and leaves a white blank shape.

It's a launcher issue. Are you on stock, or a custom ROM?

Nope, that wasn't the issue. Even after I removed BW, I still got the bug.
I wonder how common this bug is?

If you're still on stock and haven't unlocked your phone, I'd suggest taking it back to the store for an exchange... Without rooting, the only answer I might be able to provide would be temporary at best. Besides, if this is happening out-of-the-box (i.e. nothing done to it by the user), then you've been sold a defective product. What you're describing is not normal behavior for this device by any means.

This happens when a game or app uses alot of RAM (Deadspace, Shadowgun etc) but it should redraw I'd it doesn't its odd.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

Just came in to say something similar happens to me, but its only temporary, and only one icon. I started a thread about it back in December, but didn't get any responses.
It usually happens on my phone when:
a) I install a new app from the market
b) I exit an app and go back to the homescreen
Scrolling to a different home screen will make it reappear.
This is the only 'bug' I've noticed on my phone, and I believe it is related to software. I'm not returning my phone because of it, I'm just waiting for 4.03 and hoping it gets fixed...
BTW, I'm on Stock 4.02 rooted (LTE)

same issue with a tablet
I'm having the same issue that you have described with an ASUS Transformer tablet TF101. The only way to recover is as you have described. I'm downloaded Beautiful Widgets (none active) and will remove, but as you've noted that it didn't resolve your issue, I'm not hopeful that it will resolve mine.
BTW, I ran honeycomb on this tablet since October and NEVER had this issue. I received ICS as an OTA firmware upgrade three days ago, and have had this problem repeatedly since.

Official Sony Xperia home screen launcher from Jelly Bean fw (5.1.S.0.0) apk download

From XperiaBlog:
A new Sony Xperia home launcher has leaked. It updates the stock home launcher from version 4.0.3.A.0.9 (at least on our Xperia S) to version 5.1.S.0.0. Changes include a new graphic for the dock at the bottom of the handset, as well as for the app drawer. It also moves the tray options to the left and includes a search bar to the right. We also now get the option to have a maximum of seven home screens, instead of five.
There is also a new way to install widgets, apps, wallpapers and themes. This comes up when you long press an empty space on the home screen. When you click to install a new theme, wallpaper etc you will see the options for these at the bottom of the handset. Another subtle change we noticed is a new screen transition when moving from one home screen to the next.

In addition to that, you can have folder in the app drawer too! This is really useful in my opinion, it is a feature i always wanted.

It is reported to work with Xperia S. Works on devices without root.

sensible Less framerate in home screen, but much more silkyness overall.
good improvement, but i'll miss the high framerate feeling.

[APP] Nova Launcher Beta (for 4.4.2 with KitKat look)

This the best Launcher I have ever used, fully customizable and looks just like KitKat works on 4.3 and 4.4.2 aswell.
What I like about it is that you can hide apps in the app drawer, like hide stuff or bloatware you don't use and also rename and change the icon of any app. Also works with transparent status bar and navigation buttons.

Still doesn't beat Action Launcher in terms of functionality. In fact, I've seen a lot of people running the Action Launcher 1-Swipe feature over Nova Launcher.

Always rated Nova as number 1.

I've honestly tried almost every other launcher out there, including Aviante. I keep coming back to Nova Launcher. The stock launcher has improved some, but there are still a few things I miss from Nova. The first thing is the pop-up when you long hold on a app icon. That pop-up has "Uninstall" right there, so I don't need to view the App Info just to uninstall it. I can also remove the icon without having to drag it to the top of the screen. Second thing is that other settings such as Wallpaper is within a long-hold + tap's reach. I can also add multiple app icons to the desktop whereas I can't with the default launcher.

Battery discussion

On 4.4.4 I used to be able to get 5-5:30 ost but since updating it to lollipop and beyond I nearly get 4-4:30 I want to know if anybody els has been getting this issue or how to fix it and yes all the bells and whistles are turned off

Are you using freeza Beastmode kernel? Are you on the OG5 modem? These have been my most recent bumps in battery capacity; the biggest since KitKat actually.

Heavy usage today but ready to plugin and charge for tomorrow. The usage for apps shown is a bit higher than usual but the overall stats and SOT are darn good. Running OB7/OB7 bootloader/ customized with Xposed/OG5 modem and Beastmode kernel. Maybe the improved battery comes from the OG5 stuff.

Debloated ROM, freeze or delete apps that waste away at the battery, use auto brightness. Look for apps that wake excessively. Have you tried L Speed Mod? It will make Google Services behave. I use that with default settings, dump third party apps' cache and browser cache (including Google Play and Google Play Services) every 12 hours on a schedule and use an app by chain fire called recently to keep apps from running so much unneeded. Watch for rogue or faulty apps in the Xposed error log. Source close browser and other apps that like to keep running with back to kill app and use an ad blocker.
But really I think it has more to do with being indoors mostly on Wi-Fi and using Wi-Fi calling that gets those results. I have to credit the 5.1.1 kernel and modem too. OB7 wasn't always this good.
Half screen brightness would most likely to bright for me. What's wrong with auto brightness? It may save you some battery.

I used to do a lot of that disable things I didn't need like s voice and bloat but for some reaons I didn't reason calls or text and I credit that to all the mods I did with the phone so I haven't really moded in a while but since then I get bad battery life, and no I used to use auto brightness but then afew days ago I realized whats the point of not enjoying your phone how you want to. But dam you sure do a lot, none of that has any negative impacts>?

Not really. I go with what works. Some users just aren't happy with some things and change this and that until more content with it.
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

i did everything you said , got recently and also l speed rom, put the freza kernel. but my question is how do you put a scheduler? and how do you find out which apps run in the back round? if you uninstall google apps and apps that are form Samsung would that effect in anyway the phone?

I use an older application I purchased a while on an older phone that needed more memory expansion for app data. Link2SD pro did that plus had the scheduler so I still use it for that rather than buying another task manager. Couldn't tell which to use or if there are better or free ones.
The L Speed Mod can be found here
