Couple of q's
How do I get just an individual wallpaper for my lock screen rather than my normal wallpaper??
There's also a screenshot of someone's phone where there app icons are words,I know I change them as I figured that out in a different thread, is there a package for the word icons?

It is known that Sense UI doesn't allow custom lockscreen as it only provides the downloadable package from the HTC server.
The same thing applies to the stock launcher as well. You can't change the icon into words - unless you use third party app launcher and lockscreen such as Launcher Pro and WidgetLocker. By using this app, you can change anything you want, including what you have mentioned just now.
Both apps are available on the Market in free or paid edition.

You can do that on Sense 3.5 (in the personalize menu). I can't remember whether that option was there in 3.0 or below, so it might depend on what ROM you're using at the minute.
Thanks for the replys, sorted wallpaper now onto the widgets,thanks to All

You could install Touch Wiz. But you'd get no Sense widgets.
How do I go about doing this?

I am also interested if anyone knows of any Sense mods or homescreen replacements that have app drawers like TouchWiz. I hate the vertical scrolling. The paged horizontal scrolling seems much more friendly and quicker.
Search for touchwiz3.apk in desire or nexus forums, it is around somewhere.

I tried out touchwiz.. I like some parts of it but hate others. Thanks though.
ADW Launcher has an option for horizontal scrolling rather than vertical scrolling of the app list. It also allows you to customise the number of homescreens - check that out from the Market. You will, however, be unable to use any of the HTC Sense widgets while you are using ADW.
I'll check it out. I've used it in Cyanogenmod.. I didn't like it then (at all). It seems 'rough'. Maybe it's better since I tried it.
Yeah, adw.launcher does about everything you asked. I used it for a day or two, but I personally prefer LauncherPro, it doesn't offer Horizontal scrolling though.
Is there any way or tweak to increase number of rows or columns in DHD Sense? I didn't find that option in Settings. I mean something similar you can do using ADW Launcher. DHD screen is big, having just 4x4 icon number is ridiculous. Even if you push all apps button, you can see 5 rows already on the screen.
ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro is not a solutions for me, as then you need to look for various alternative widgets and other stuff, that is already so nicely designed within Sense.
Any clue?

Thanks for prompt answer. It is interesting concept (on the pictures it is used with ADW Launcher) which I can get into during some more creative mood ...Anyway it doesn't have to be solved now (I guess this issue could be one of the reasons ADW and Launcher Pro were ever made), but small neat app just asking something like 4x5 or 5x5 or 6x5, etc... would be so cool.
Decided to use SIMI folders. Not exactly what I was looking for, but still easy and elegant solution.

Well, it is system information tool, I am not looking for such a stuff, need desktop adjustment tool/organizer within Sense UI.
Well, here is some update on solutions which I found in the meantime:
1. this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915472 is exactly what I was looking for, though installation instructions are not easy to follow.

have a good search on the market yourself would be the best option for you. there are literally thousands of different options for you. but customisation is relatively limited for non rooted phones, live wallpapers and HTC themes, avaliable though HTC built in Sense Themes.
with certain roms, they take on the T-Mobile theme system what utilises much more themes to download and customise. launchers only make changes to your main screen and application list, icons as such a limited.
adw launcher, launcher pro, helix launcher
Re. Make your phone look nice without root...
This might raise some hackles, but in my opinion, when it comes to the aesthetics between rooted and stock phones, there isn't usually a drastic difference. You can get a stock ROM looking really great. I run LauncherPro Plus on CM7.1, but to be honest the cosmetic difference between that and running it on stock Froyo is fairly minor, to the, uhm, passerby. *hides*
Thanks this helps alot
An here are also some nice Themes for Sense 2.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801928 and Sense 2.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048894
Launcher pro is a good one. You should check it out

You could also try go locker - free from market. Loads of different themes/ styles downloadable from market, some free, some paid.

The apps mentioned (widget locker, go locker, lockbot) will give you a new lockscreen - whatever style you want. This could be default Gingerbread android, or like the new ICS android or something completely different. Most are free, with a selection of free themes to also download and try. I've got go locker with ICS theme on my cheap tablet - works great. If you don't want to download the app - just try a google search of images of go locker - you can get a good impression of what's available.
You also mention getting rid of the ring, not an app to replace them? There are also apps which will get rid of the lockscreen altogether, so the screen is on when you press a button. Not used them myself, but "No Lock" seems highly rated on the market.
If for some reason you actually want to mod the rom - then sorry, that's beyond me!
If you running Revolution grab the lockscreen and idlescreen apk out of the LeeDrOiD hd port that is pretty much a 2.1 rom till you add the sense 3 add on. It should work out, they use the same base.

Or you man up and just keep the girls as wallpapers ? Its just a wallpaper for god sake..
I just changed my GF's launcher to Nova, showed her that I could restore TouchWiz if she needed to (with all ther icons still in place) and the imported her stuff from TouchWiz and left her with it. It's been a few days and she hasn't complained.
I'm trying to niggle her down. She's still on XXLG9 ICS 4.0.4 I run my own ROM with many users and she won't even use it Doesn't like changing it I swear if 4.1.2 is super good I'll just have to do the same thing, back up her phone in CWM and with Titanium... install the latest version and restore everything as it was!

Use Tasker. If launcher 1 set wallpaper to x, if launcher 2 is visible set wallpaper y. It does have 1 second lag or so to detect the running application and switch, but it's the only method to my knowledge.

Just as your GF how she changes her wallpaper of all the naked guys just before she meets you! LOL!
Failing that you could always just use Tasker (as mentioned) to change the wallpaper but you can also change it based on location (WiFi, GPS etc..) or time of day, or just create a shortcut or widget to change it, basically whatever you want. It does only work with static wallpapers but there is a 3rd party app (EasyProfiles) that can change live wallpapers and it integrates in to Tasker so even that is possible.
