I'm currently running leedroid's HTC Sense Rom on my desire, but i've installed the MIUI roms on my moms and a friends Desire and I really like the GUI changes they've made.
I'm thinking about using MIUI on my phone now, but I don't think I can live without HTC's Clock app.
I've tried a bunch of clock/alarm/timer apps in the market, nothing is as good as HTC's. And I can't find any they have all those things integrated into one app. The other seperate apps for timer or alarm are also ugly compared to HTC's.
So Is there anyway to get the HTC Clock app to work on a non sense rom? I don't really need the widgets or the related weather app and widgets. All i really want is the clock app.
I tried opening up the zip file of leedroids rom and copying all the clock or weather named APK files to my SD card. None of them would install though.
download Wearher & Toggle Widget from android market.there is a similar skin as in htc clock.

As I mentioned I'm not really concerned about the widgets. I want the HTC clock app that has Tabs along the bottom to switch between the clocks, alarms, stopwatch & timer.

Would love to be able to mix my own rom based on Oxygen v2.0-RC6 but with these HTC Apps/UIs:
- Clock
- Contacts / Dailer / Logs
- Calendar
- Widgets
- E-Mail
- Camera
is this possible ? if so, could someone guide me in the right way to where i could obtain these apps ?
Would that make a stable rom ?
Cheers

It's not possible, sadly.
The HTC apps need the Sense framework to work.
darn, their so much smoother then stock android... but the sense UI is too slow and demands more ram..
This is brought up waaaay too many times. Sense is Sense. It can't be ripped apart sadly enough. I'd like a better widgetpicker (why isn't there one) and miss my clock in Launcher Pro.
Is there a way to disable the Sense UI on wildfire s?
I've found a lot instructions to turn it of, but they seem not to work on gingerbread. So did anyone found a way to restore or install the old fashioned android ui?
Thanks & Cheers
So, you need to fully off it? Or only launcher. You can install other launcher(There are many good launchers in market, including standard 2.3), and, if you want, delete with root uninstaller system apps that you don't want to see on ur phone.
There are no roms without sense right now, waiting for a normal port of CyanogenMod7.
yes, would be nice to fully off it, but just to have a look if i like the standard one. (so i dont want to erase the whole thing)
cyanogen mod would be rly nice, but they still have problems with porting the bluetooth and stuff. but yes, im looking forward to flash it, as soon as possible.
what launcher includes the standard 2.3, can u tell me?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are one launcher(Gingerbread launcher) - standard gingerbread launcher without settings, i think, pretty sluggish... I would recommend a "LauncherPro" - Very good launcher with much of settings, too smooth.. And. if you wish, will look like standard 2.3 launcher, but too better. But other launchers won't disable Sense at all ))
There is no possible to remove Sense UI. You can put alternative launcher, but this is not what you want. You will need some alt. ROM, but there is not much released yet, that will give you what you want.
well thanks guys.
so i'm gonna wait for an clean wfs rom.
You can also use a launcher, choose default actions to use only the Launcher when asked (I recommand LauncherPro or GoLauncher).
Then you go to applications management and erase HTC Sense data so it will occupy 0Mb on your internal memory.
Out of curiosity why would anyone want to remove the Sense UI, it's one of the best Stock Launchers I've come across, Sony Ericssons Launchers are rubish compared to Sense, the Stock Gingerbread Launcher is rubish compared to Sense, the only other Stock Launcher that isn't that bad that I've seen is the LG Optimus Chat (C550) froyo Launcher?
But for other Launchers adw Launcher is quite a good Launcher and very coustomizable.

I rooted my phone, downloaded and installed Stock Gingerbread Launcher and then used root file explorer and went into system/apps, then deleted Rosie and restarted my phone then went back and located the HTCLockscreen and deleted that and I now have a 2.3 Stock Looking Gingerbread Home Screen With Widgets, and A Stock Gingerbread Lockscreen, has nice Nexus S Looking Clock on the lockscreen too!!!!
In HTC supertool v3 there is a de-sense option. Haven't tried it though..

Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to get rid of sense without being rooted and with the stock 1.28 rom? I was also wondering how much battery life it would save me etc, thanks!
You can't het rid of sense but can get rid of Rosie (sense launcher) this won't save much on battery unless you have widgets continuously updating, search the market for ADW or go launcher and give them a try
can't without being rooted
If you root you can download Android Revolution HD 4.0 which is Sense free, haven't used it myself.
Or Nova Launcher from the market is a good replacement for Rosie (HTC Launcher)

Is there a way to disable sense UI in stock One X?
No. There is never a way to disable stock ROM's stock UI. But you can override the launcher and homescreen with 3rd party launchers though.
So what launcher is the nearest to the regular ics UI witch is both battery and ram friendly?
