i love sense apps and sense widgets and sense look... but i hate its performance... i love AOSP because of the performance... the question is: is there a way to implement sense apps, or widgets, or launcher into AOSP rom?
thank you!

There are apps such as Beautiful widgets, Launcher pro, adw laucher, go launcher, fancy widgets, and some skins and icons that can give you some aspect of sense. However this is not actual sense. You can't really take sense aspects out and add them to a AOSP rom because of the framework. If you wish to have a fast running sense, although a little lacking on the ooohhh ahhhh, I would go with Virtuous Sense. It's Sense, but it's not slow because HTC made it for our device and it's better than nothing.

I have been using sense ui virt rom.
I loved it but noticed a bit of lost of speed when I flashed cyanogen v7.
Cyanogen was really fast for me compared to virt. rom.
What do u guys prefer?

Well sense is slower due to the fact its "packed". Well I really like sense, it looks really good. Love the wigets the most but I like cyan more because.... umm I just like it better lol.

Sense widgets aren't as fast, but I do love the Sense clock app, the Sense clock widget, contacts widget and photo gallery widget.
the calendar widget is very laggy compared to Launcher Pro, and the actual dock/launcher bar at the bottom is a very wasteful way to use precious screen real estate. I mean - who really needs such a large button for the phone?
Launcher Pro/ADW Ex and other launchers make it really easy to save screen space by having scrollable launcher/docks...but with Sense it just wastes space.
I am using a GingerVillain ROM with ADW Ex and it works pretty well. But I am missing some of those Sense apps/widgets!
cyanogenmod is faster ,has better battery life,its more up to date and is more customizable.
sense/virtouos has much better apps and widgets such as camera,contacts,keyboard,phone,etc...
it really comes down to personal preferences.
I personally have set them both exactly the way i like and installed all the
apps that i need on them and made a back up so i regulary change between
them whenever i feel like it.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I like Sense better now than Vanilla. I have been using the vanilla for a long time now and then tried switching to sense a week ago and I love it.
I'm not a fan of the sense homescreen though but I love the camera app, phone app, gallery, and the minor quirks you get with it.
The only downside though is that IMO it drains twice as fast as stock.

Is there a camera app like sense on the market? I'm missing the touch to focus.

Sense, no question. The superior camera, music, and contacts apps are a no-brainer, IMO. I don't use the Sense launcher, though - LauncherPro for me. I tried Cm7 and honestly didn't see that big of a difference. I get 12-15hours of moderate use with Virtuous v1.0, which is the best Sense ROM out there.

What do u think about the speed on virtuous vs cyonagen
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
CM is definitely faster, mainly because its built for that, specifically. Sense is built to give a better user experience. Apples and Oranges. With the stock Virtuous kernel, I don't notice a significant speed difference vs CM.

Without sense. No question.
From my permarooted overclocked HTC G2 with cyanogen 7 nightly via XDA app
Is there any way to get the alarm clock to put a notification in the notification bar on the Sense UI like it does in the Vanilla ROMs? Everytime I hit snooze I wonder if I hit the right button. I'm currently using Virtuous v1.0.0 for the G2/DZ.
I like the sense over the "vanilla" the G2 came with. I've been using virtuous since the day it came out and have loved it. I haven't used CM but I' am comfortable with sense
i currently use MIUI but i loved sense when i used it the only thing i didint like was that you couldnt get it to not autocap , i know it sounds stupid but its really one of my pet pev's , i switch back and forth from now & again but does anyone know how to make it so it doesent autocap on sense virtu rom ?

thats exactly why i staied with Virtuous Rom.
i would go to CM but the camera app sucks..
Looking for a ROM that is made from the ADW launcher, as in instead of HTC sense UI it would just be ADW launcher but with out the hassle of running 2 UI's. Hope this isnt a double posted question, sorry in advance if it is.
Look for anything aosp or senseless.

Or just use a desensitize script on your favorite sense rom.
from what i have read, sense widgets require sense somehow, but are there any that do work? is there some sort of emulator or something like that that would allow them to work?
The actual sense rom is required for sense widgets, but apps like launcher pro plus, and fancy widget do the trick.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yep, just get LauncherPro+ and a nice clock app... But before you buy Fancy Widget give this one a go: https://market.android.com/details?id=fr.clockwidget.lpclassicsense&feature=search_result
It will give your LP+ widgets more of a sense look, as well as add in the Sense home clock.
is der a chance to get samsungs touchwiz 3.0 or 4 on htc desire?
or are der alternative roms becaus aosp roms are too "small" there no features..
Touchwiz I dont like. What features do you want?
You can use feature like SEARCH -Xda has - questions asked an aswered already.
And AFAIK, NO - Somebody did it with SE Timescape, but no TW.
widgets like samsung, appdrawer like samsung.
on aosp roms are only the most necessary things (sorry my english is not so good)
or maybe sth like the miui rom..
everything but NO sense
Touchwiz is not worth it mate. If you want it for horizontal, then all the big ones have that option. (Adw, LP or go launcher. Go is my personal favourite out of them. You can even get a touchwiz theme for it ;-)

Yes I love go. Convert from lpp

Go is great.. Came from ADW Ex, never looking back.

Why don't give MIUI a try? I think it looks a little like samsung.
i think miui is look like iphone
its the sane as iphone
and hell better than touchwiz
comfy alot to do with it
really like it i running it for a while now but it eats battary lol
Hi
I recently shifted to the ADW launcher because of the unsightly HTC sense dock at the bottom of the screen. But then I am unable to access HTC sense widgets, like the music widget for example. I am aware that I have the option of getting a Pure Music kinda app to solve this problem. But I just wanted to know if there is any way of moving around the HTC Music Widget apk file (or any other file for that matter) so that it is activated in ADW?
I have seen the same (similar) question across a lot of different forums and the answer has always been "NO". But hope springs eternal
Thanks
ucannot have sense widget's if u move onto another launcher

You can't add sense widgets in another launcher, but may i ask you why do you use adw launcher instead of nova launcher or spex launcher? Adw launcher is so old, is made for gingerbread and froyo. Nova and apex are made only for ICS.

I guess I just grew comfortable with ADW over the years. Thanks for the suggestion, I shall try out nova / spex.
The result with Nova and Spex will be the same. HTC widgets work with the supplied HTC launcher only.
yeah that's true. But I don't understand why they have to be so microsoftishly possessive that it limits the users customisation needs. The lockscreen for example, I personally find their renowned "ring" quite blingy and there seems to be no way to edit it. So if i install MIUI locker to customise the lockscreen I occassionally have to deal with two lockscreens - first the HTC ring and then whatever else I have set. C'est la vie!
You cannot add sense widgets to adw but do not worry, use apw widgets, these look very similar to sense widgets...
Well as close as you can get without being sued by HTC ofcourse...

Hey thanks again. I tried apw and it was quite nice. But I am specifically looking for a replacement for the Sense music widget. In any case i shall give the wizz a look over.
