I've looked around and I haven't found anything changes everything or even a flashable zip to change even the settings and I know I can use morphology but it doesn't look the same and the options for sense on there are for 4.0

I've seen other launchers with sense themes..
Tbh though the only way you're going to get a real sense theme fully is to get an HTC phone
Agreed ....
You will achieve a fair, sense like look with launcher modification, but as crixley said, only HTC can give you a full sense experience ....g

Does anyone know of a ROM that has sense but more of an AOSP look?
The Epic has one that is kinda what I am looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922773 It has more of an AOSP look but still has some of the TouchWiz framework.
I mostly want to still be able to use HTC Widgets and apps. Any ideas?
There are roms in the development section but if you want sense Widgets you have to use the sense launcher or launcher pro

Just use a Sense Rom and manually modify the Rosie to look like Aosp. Assuming you just want the launcher to look like Aosp. Btw, this is easier said than done unless you know a little bit about theming and modding.

Does anyone here think that its possible to get this rom ported to the Evo 4g. I mean all that would need to be fixed are the apk's and a little bit of touch ups here and there. Since the resolution matches the Evo's.
It would be sweet!
touchwiz .... no thanks
The phone looks awesome cuz of the processor, but touchwiz doesnt add much to stock android

Toouchwiz is the only way you can get a decent launcher with 4 icons in the dock and the sms application is very good looking.
HOnestly only thing Touchwiz (Samsung Android Phones Period honestly) has that I wuld be interested in is the music player.
Outside of that, I'll pass.
But for those who like it, I think it would be awesome for them.
This is XDA, just about anything is possible!!!!

I couldn't agree more...
Hold on guys, I think Touchwiz 4.0 is something different. The live tiles, widgets, zoom effects, etc are pretty nifty. 4.0 looks nothing like Touchwiz on current Galaxy devices.

Touchwiz 4.0 doesn't look quite as bad.
It looks as if they have abandoned those dreadful taskbar icons? That would be a huge plus
Try ADW EX or Launch Pro. You can download different launch bars and add your icons as you wish. So TouchWuz isn't the only launcher that can handle 4 or more icons.

they all copy each other, now its just common knowwledge. people should be willing to share or copy what works. It just gets absorbed into common practice which is for the best for everyone
Have to admit that is pretty impressive I stand corrected.

Watched a couple of videos. I don't like it. At all. I like the phone though.
This should probably be moved to Q&A, nothing developmental about it.
LOL of course things are stolen from Sense. It's getting hard to find original ideas anymore but who DOESN'T steal ideas from other companies? And I told you guys TouchWiz 4.0 isn't bad; but we can all agree that the current TouchWiz is just garbage.
Want this. whats the legality?

Seems like quite a few people are at least intrested in it.
So how long do you guys think it would take to port it to give it a test run?
My OCD is demanding that I have that 4 icon dock and sms app

I think it was ported to the current generation Galaxy S phones and was still buggy. I would imagine it would be even more buggy on our phones..
Would definitely like to take it for a spin tho..
I can imagine there is one or two developers that would like to port this. May I suggest Virus or Sac23 (and teamwin). They are the big names when I think about porting things that shouldn't be on our phones.
Good Luck
By the way TW 4.0 is pretty awesome
EDIT: Oh also if you can find a system dump for the Galexy S 2 it would proably help with the porting progress.
Hi Guys
Just found this in the market, not really perfect but seems to work
No offense but RIPPLELOCK is not like sense 3 lockscreen. Those who own/owned an HTC Phone knew what it looks like. Maybe try changing the title

and those who used sense lockscreen on miui rom won't agree with him too
i think its really good,better that the stock whole wallpaper one.
oh and have you noticed the carrier is on the screen, haven't seen this since i was using miui
I'm wondering that there is no extracted lockscreen from the sensation...it would be so nice.

So just kinda wanted to see what the general consensus here is. I personally love sense and would hate to run aosp on my HTC, but I'm seeing a lot of stock android love more and more it seems.

AOSP ROM all the way for me. Its all personal preference really. I got the one for its HW specs not SW. Sense isn't purr enough for me yet its still come a long way.

I like sense 5 but I am over it. I much prefer the aosp look and how much I can customize it. I will flashing pac or carbon if it is ported to our phone.
Once I have s-off... Bye bye sense!
Sent from my HTC One.
I'll be going Sense-less as soon as possible. This is mainly because all of the ROMs I'm interested in and have used on other phones lack sense and are mostly ASOP, not because I dislike Sense. Sense isn't terrible in and of itself, the stock Sense ROM just doesn't offer enough features to make it worth-while.
AOSP / Sense-less GPE
I love the stock google lockscreen, but I hate how now that I did the 'hack' for getting rid of sense lockscreen without root, I cant see who's calling until I unlock the phone...
Apparently I'm among the minority so far. I prefer Sense, but modified along the lines of TeamVenom's Viper ROM. So many tweaks and adjustments. It's clearly still Sense, but definitely changed.
I'm with you on Sense icedragon, I ran aosp for a long time on the tbolt and loved it but im really liking Sense 5. So I'll probably be keeping sense especially if Santod or Virus make a sense rom
Edit: or newt, I can't believe I almost forgot about him. The sense 4 port he did for the tbolt was really good

I actually like sense but I would Prefer the AOSP lock screen. But being new to android I don't really know what kind of roms are out there.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Definitely leaning toward AOSP since I've used stock android phones (gnex, and before that -- droid 1). Sense I like using Zoe, blinkfeed, and am curious to see what customized sense roms have to offer
I ran AOSP/CM on my GS3 for a few months, but have liked Sense quite a bit so far. Just a few features I miss, namely the ability to switch between notifications and quick settings by swiping the bottom bar (where VZW is listed). Saved a fair amount of time, oddly enough.
I've tried both and keep coming back to Sense for Zoe, the stock Sense gallery (looks more beautiful and alive to me) and Blinkfeed. If they could be incorporated into Beanstalk or maybe PAC man, that might draw me away.

Sense 5 is the first time ever that I actually LIKE Sense.
I love CyanogenMod but can't stand the crappy radios as of now.
I like sense five, but I liked it more with the original pull down lockscreen I had on my evo honestly. Never a huge fan of the aosp lockscreen. Especially before ics

Or you can two finger swipe from the top to get straight to the quick settings.
Personally will be sticking with sense roms. Every aosp rom I've used, something was either broken or wonky because they had to hack it to get it to work at all. And I'm digging zoe.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk 4
I have used AOSP for the last couple years. It is nice to have a rom with zero bugs and still runs fast and has good features. I will probably stick with sense roms for stability unless I see some really cool things come out for AOSP.
Sent from my phone using an app
I am already running a custom launcher and Widget Locker for the lock screen so I will probably jump from a Sense rom as soon as it is possible, or at the very least freeze a bunch of the apps that I am not using.
The Camera and Gallery are the only couple I may keep in the long run. Blinkfeed is nice but I cannot add it to a different launcher so it is a bit useless to me at the moment.
What's wrong with the radios on AOSP? I too will be deciding between Sense and AOSP.
I love HTC devices for the reliable signal reception. I don't want to sacrifice that.

Zoe and the HTC gallery won't work on non-Sense based roms (including 4.3 GPE roms). You can still use custom launchers with Blinkfeed in one of two ways. If the launcher allows you to set up shortcuts on your home screen (Nova I think allows this but others do as well), you can set up a shortcut to the Sense launcher and just delete the other pages, leaving just Blinkfeed. Also if you are rooted, you can download the MoDaCo Toolbox and in there it will allow you to create a Blinkfeed "app" that takes you to your Blinkfeed.
Have your cake and eat it too.

I'm on the boarder now on buying a blue HTC one phone, but the best thing I can remember about the HTC phones (when I had a thunderbolt 4g) was the UI. I liked it way better than any other android flavor but now that HTC has changed it, it seems too boring and professional for me. Even the plain android homepage seems more exciting than it. So I was wondering if there is anyway that I can revert it back to the old homepage. Thanks!
I do not believe so, someone jump in here to correct me. There are many home launcher in the play store (or here on xda) replacements that can be made to look like the older sense versions (Nova/Apex etc). However the launchers will be lacking the sense widgets but again there are so many options for widget replacements im sure you could find something comparable to older versions of htc sense. This handset is a beast ^_^

Maybe?
I heard about the ViperOne Custom ROM, it should probably include the Sense 4.5 UI, but I'm not absolutely sure. But you could google it, maybe you'll figure out more than I do, because the HTC One is my first HTC I ever had
ViperOne is based on stock software, so it'll be sense 5.5.

Use tiktak and theme it using a sense 4 cm theme and find an icon theme for like nova launcher. That's about the closest you'll get. Maybe even grab a custom lock screen to make it more like the version of sense you want.

IF we get sense 5.5 we could get android 4.3 with sense 5.0
never know
this is a first time i've heard someone WANTING sense 4.5, although it's a lot better than the even older ones, 5.5 has been awesome.
is it because you dont like blink feed? if so, that can be turned off in sense 5.5
