Just got my One X yesterday. Underwhelmed by Sense 4.0 on this huge 1280 x 720 screen...what was HTC thinking making the Homescreens 4x4? What a waste of space!!!
Anyway, I know I can fix this with an alternate launcher (Apex or Nova), but then I lose the Sense widgets, in particular Email (since I can find calendar widgets all over the place). I've tried loading in the ICS Email.apk but it doesn't seem to support Exchange Activesync (only POP and IMAP) so I'm back to square one.
Any known options to fix this? I presume a custom ROM developer could (I've seen larger grid sizes for the App Drawer) but don't know of any yet?!? I'm running ARHD 5.0.
Otherwise the HOX is very annoying!!!
Bump i would love to have 5x5 as well.

Hi guys
Not sure as i havent had chance to install this yet but the Cyanogen ROM normally allows you to select the grid size on the screen.
It's a Senseless Rom If I am not mistaken.
I think we need a tool to decompile those m10 files before the modding of Sense 4.0 can begin.
OK guys, I think I've found the solution.
Apex Launcher (or Nova Launcher or any other 3rd party launcher!) + Email.apk + ExchangeGoogle.apk. This gives you the "stock" ICS Exchange email application (with the stock ICS Email widget!) and whatever grid layout you want.
I downloaded the apk's from the first post in this thread, set up my Exchange Server, and set Apex as my Launcher. Happy times!
workaround to 4 x 4 grid
Having upgraded from my Desire classic running Oxygen and ADW launcher I also wanted to maximise the limited real estate on sense.
As a work around I opted for multicon, available on google play it allows four apps to sit in one grid location.
Best thing is it works with sense and you get to keep the sense widgets.
Hope this helps

The issue isn't the physical screen space or the resolution! It's the lazy use of it by Sense. In fact I find the One X too large.

I just tried it but Iam missing 4x1 widget. The biggest one is 1x4 which is kinda useless. I can put four 1x1 widgets on the lowest row of the screen but that wont bring the effect i wanted. 4x1 or 4x2 would be perfect with 5 or 6 icons in row.

I agree with the lazy use of Space by the Sense UI developers. At least they should give the following two options.
1. Customizeable rows and colums on the panels.
2. Ability to add more panels, at least 2 more would have been great.

We're not talking about the App Drawer - we're talking about the Homescreens. Not sure that ROM has a 5 x 5 homescreen.
Right now the solution is to go Senseless. I'm very happy with LeeDroid 5.0 without Sense and using the Apex Launcher with a 5 x 5 homescreen .

Adding more panels is possible..!
Or do you mean more than 7?
Personally I don't really see the use of that. You might as well just go through the app drawer then, but then again .. I am not you
I think they could've made it limitless easily like a lot of launchers...

I could not believe it when I saw the X with only 4 x 4 grid. I have original desire (screen is 1 inch smaller) and I use 5 x 5 grid via CM7 becasue I think 4 x 4 is a waste of space on this size screen!
Come on HTC. You've got the best hardware at the moment, support us with the software.
So many laaunchers offer customisable column/rows, so I is obviosly not too difficult.

I really like Sense,that's why I got this device.
I was hoping that I could add one or two more panels in addition to the seven.
I really would like Sense to have this option and the option to have 5x5 like I had on my SG2 using GoLauncher.
I'm stuck using folders for now.

I'm using adw launcher and lost the sense widgets. Is there a possibility to use the sense widgets under adw-launcher?

No, unfortunately not. It's one or the other (Sense + Sense Widgets or No Sense and No Sense widgets!).
I like some of the Sense widgets as well, and have come up with a bit of a workaround. I use Apex Launcher as my default launcher, but I created a shortcut on my dock that launches the Rosie launcher. That way I can switch to the Sense screens easily, but then go back to the Apex Launcher screens with a press of the Home key.
To get ICS exchange you need the email.apk AND the ExchangeGoogle.apk.
There's a post about in on Modaco written by Paul and he links to a script (on the SGS2 XDA forum) which automates some of the work for you.
I've done it on my One X and it works fine.

and here http://apexlauncher.uservoice.com/forums/146396-general-feedback

Wow that looks pretty cool!

Working on a new work around for this, and it should also improve battery life, and possibly amount of time to set up (for everyone but me). The basic idea is this, instead of using a widget to cover up the home screen icons, edit your wallpaper to cover up the icons and have that as the style instead. I havent had much time to work with this yet but i will hopefully get this up and running soon. But i have tested and the shortcuts do survive a wipe if you just backup adw, so you shouldnt have to do any work to set this up after flashing things.
created a work around heres the background... image still needs some editting as it does not like up quiet right with actions

What you have to do is resize it to cover over it and that is how you move it over. The youtube video is a bit better to see how to do this.
That's what I did and when I did it still wouldn't let me.

There are five option, only last option will work Which is "App drawer option"
check auto start and enable App drawer in that.
you can set pull down location also in that,
Now you can pull down the app drawer from top, just tap & hold and pull down from the location you set, from few millimetre down where we pull down the status bar.

The sense clock is known as fancy widgets from market and you don't need to freeze tw launcher. ..... Try reset sense launcher. Then tick tint ab and set ab factor to 0 or 1..... From ui settings in sense setting . Its working fine with me are using stock Rom? Probably not as you are a developer!

Hey guys.
Here is the sense 4 clock ported for our One X, It has been resized and fully edited by me to look 99% like the real thing.
The only thing missing is the animation and the sense forecast style, you still get a forecast though if you click the weather icon.
You can use this in any launcher you like, Apex,Nova, GO etc etc..

hey mate, I am wondering how should i work with this thing?
what i mean is how do i install this thing?
do i need to rename it?
what seems to be certain is that i need to push it into /system/app, right?
can you guide me a little with it?
i really want to give it a try on your reno v3
WHAT DO YOU GET IN THIS MOD?
4x5 Rosie homescreen - only enabled in portrait, landscape comes out very messy!
No app labels on homescreen
No labels on Settings widgets
Transparent clock widgets
The mods are contained in an AROMA installer, and you can choose any combination of the above options.
I have changed over to the Villaintheme system, so the installer just replaces the modified files within Rosie.apk and the widget apks. This should hopefully make the mod compatible with multiple ROMs, bases and even other Rosie mods. I haven't tested it with other Rosie mods, so please let me know if it does / doesn't work!
HOW IS THIS MOD DIFFERENT?
Ok, just to be clear. Many others have worked on this, and got it working pretty well.
In particular, I owe thanks to
mikeyxda - for the huge amount of groundwork he put into getting this working
il Duce } for their observations and modifications to mikeyxda's approach
jeffsanace }
Turge - for his implementation of the 4x5 mod for the Viper ROMs (and for the thread layout )
These guys have spent a lot of time on this, and much of the 4x5 homescreen mod is based on their work.
My addition?
I have managed to get the HTC 4x4 widgets working with the new layout. So no more widgets stuck under the statusbar.

ROM based on 3.14.401.20 and higher -- confirmed to work with 3.14.401.24 (28th Nov),3.14.401.27 (6th Dec) and 3.14.401.31 (20th Jan)
BUGS
Of course, since this is still at best a hack job, there are still some issues:
4x4 widgets are still only 4x4, but will take up the whole homescreen, even in the 4x5 mod. Please see the additional notes about this in post 7
4x5 is only enabled in portrait. Enabling in landscape creates a huge mess, and I don't have enough time to fix that completely
Since 4x5 is only available in portrait, the bottom row of icons will disappear in landscape orientation. They will reappear when you go back to portrait again
Stock HTC widgets all fit fine, but there may be spacing/alignment issues with 3rd party widgets. That's an unfortunate side effect, but there's way too many 3rd party widgets to test and fix them all!!
When placing icons/widgets on a homescreen, the app placement outline will appear in the wrong place. The icon itself will drop where you place it, not where the outine is
Any others, please let me know!

Ok, important notes about the full page widgets with 4x5 mod:
1. They are just 4x4 widgets resized to sit in the right place. They will not fill the whole 4x5 page, so there will be a wasted area at the bottom. If you try to resize it to fill, you'll get overlap with the navbar. If you try to put icons in this row, they will disappear underneath the widget
2. I will not be able to fix this, since that will require changes to smali as well as m10 Mikeyxda did find a way to change 4x4 widgets to 4x5, but this requires a full wipe and reinstall of the rom. Sadly, even that doesn't fix it completely. So unless HTC change their code, this will always be a hack job at best.
3. If you do try resizing a 4x4 widget, you may find that you are then unable to delete the widget. If that is the case, just go into the homescreen overview and delete the whole panel
Would this work on Droid DNA 1080p screen with Sense 4+ odex stock rom?

Think the fanatic is right, there are two problems: odexed & screen-resolution.

My first thought was also no, but I think I remember reading somewhere that if you delete the odex file for an app, you can replace it with a deodexed version. Really not sure how the resolution would affect things though. Depends if the DNA uses the same version of sense 4.5. Also, you might have issues with the installer itself, since it might require a different installer binary.

You mean the all apps icon? Yeah, sadly my Rosie mods will replace dougi's ones. At the moment theres no way to combine the two, but I'm hopeful that will change....

Just added a new version.....with the option to remove labels from HTC Settings widgets (see 6th screenshot)
Have just tested ...the current version works fine on the new 3.14.401.27 base. I will updated these mods to this base when I get time, but for now the ones in the OP work fine!
Installed on viper x 3.2.3 and works fine except i cant pull up the settings menu, but If i long press i can pull up recent apps.
Did a fresh rom install and it seems this mod is the culprit. Is there any solution. I love 4x5 Rosie
Thanks for all your hard work! I love your themes and mods. Currently using your Wraith 1.0 theme.
REQ:
Ever since I had my first HTC - Legend, I have had this on all my phone's since, HTC Wildfire, HTC Sensation XE,
now on HOX I'm on ARHD 33, 1 - meaning Sense 5. And it's nowhere to be found.
What I'm after is the Sense 5 clock Widget, that is 4x2 - only fully transparent, and /or glassy tinted. Flips still there, but transparent - and naturally still flipping...
I have found one that was for Sense 4.1-4.5, naturally did not work for Sense 5.
I have found Sense 5 as well as Sense 5.5 - but of course, not for our HTC One X, but for the newer HTC One. Tried those too, but only rendered my HOX unusable.
Now I'm wondering if anyone has these, or can easily make them...I doubt I'm the only one who would really like them for the Sense 5 on HOX...?
Already checked the lyapota modpack as well as the Sense 5 Toolbox, nothing there... Will provide pics of what I'd like soon if anyone doesn't know what I mean.
Thanks in advance for any help in the matter.

This one was for the HTC Sensation XE, and was developed by Team Elegancia. My very favourite clock ever.

This picture was leaked by dev Dougi in his transparent Rosie for Sense 4+ thread - the actual clock however, never was...feel free to assist me in asking Dougi nicely
Vegetaleb did one, however the FLIPS we white, and has only been found working up to Sense 4.5 and base 3.18 - if anyone wants it - OR can fix it to fully transpanrent plus working with Sense 5 - here is the flashable zip...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32926120&postcount=138
another dev also pointed me to this thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488641 - SADLY though this is for HTC One - and NOT our HTC One X, also it's based on Sense 5.5 (which might work with Sense 5, dunno... but One stuff do NOT work with One X sadly)
but these are definetely what I'd LOVE to have on my HOX...however would also love the numbers to be transparent...with only contours showing...
as well as the amazing ones in this post, there are many so won't post pics of the whole SHEBANG, but will leave a link to the actual post and see for yourself...these are to die for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46582726&postcount=2
and of course these... esp the last one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46582795&postcount=9
can ANYONE help? I have tried myself but as a noob its damn hard...
and I googled for days - and did a thorough search of XDA, Androidforums, Droidevs and a few more places coming up with NO results that worked.
Can anyone help?

This file to be in com.htc.resources.apk and replaces many panels in the rom.
As for me I like this clock widget
Well, the more, the merrier. But number one would be fully transparent, with only contours showing, including the numbers... Sorts like the 2nd picture only w the numbers being transparent too...only contours showing the numbers...or veeeery lightly glassy...
Thankful for just about anything tho, beggars can't be choosers... =)

Looking at that widget close-up - PC as opposed to mobile screen - it definetely looks transparent and very close to what I'd like... I'd love to try it if you can supply a flashable zip or such...
only thing that is NOT quite the way I thought I wanted it at first is the numbers... I guess I was after the stock feel of numbers, but transparent apart from contours...
but this looks damn good. Would def love to try it Yuris

Tried it. sadly way too dark for my red background. But definetely nice if you use a darker background...
Can you make it fully transparent or say 95% transparent including numbers transparent too - and contours maybe less clear, I would want it a bit more vague - glassy - like the 1st picture, the one from Sensation...
and well to be honest, I guess I'd prefer the Sense 3.6 style font from that Sensation pic too... is this even doable?
