What Happens if I turn Sense Off?

After looking at some stock images I've noticed that you get more icons on the bottom, whereas on Sense you get the menu, phone and add.
So basically what would I lose by turning HTC Sense off apart from the bottom bar? I currently use the Power Tools widget I think it is, the gaint clock/weather and the calendar.

You can't turn sense off on the desire unlike the hero as far as I know. I've been wanting to goto android basic for a while don't think anyone has worked how to do it

Tried and failed.

Did a search of sorts, came across launcher pro, seems good, a slight slow down at times but I think I can work with this. Lack of leap though is a bit off ...

Launcher seems alright but I tad some at times and I miss some of the HTC widgets so off it goes . Back to Sense.
HTC please let me change that bloody useless bottom bar!!!!

Agreed, its not very attractive but this will most definately be changed with the 2.2 Froyo update

I am so looking forward to it!
Saves me money though as I don't need beautiful widgets or the widget similair to the power tweak widget.
Also it remembered the last state so no moving around once I reverted back :O.

i tried the ADWlauncher and Launcher Pro too for the same reason, the bottom bar i wanted with shortcuts. but i really can't compromise the speed and smoothness of the sense ui with those ones (even if ADW is the fastest 3rd party if you tweak the settings) but most important is the DATA-INTERNET widget which cannot be added in without sense.
i hope that with froyo HTC will enable both launchers and be a user choice which one to use but still have the HTC widgets.

Separate AppDrawer app desired...

Hi guys,
Since I cant forgo from Sense UI and its useful, functional, rich and nice widgets I do not use any home replacements exist in the market. The only advantage of using so called launcher apps is, imo, customizable app drawers. Is there a separate app acts as app-drawer replacement only?
Hv seen VLauncher today, installed and tested; its iphone styled appdrawer is pretty nice, but not more than that.
I desperately would like to have a such replacement for app-drawer (to be used/started by tapping default onscreen apps button in Sense, like home button behaviour change when you use a home launcher, user may select default action when prompted)
Maybe i should have put this thread in development section, but dunno, if required pls feel free to move this to there.

Isn't that a good idea?
I can pay for a such app with pleasure.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

its not that easy, the app draw is part of rosie.apk, (and other elements are held by the framework-res.apk, i think.) even if someone did develop and "app draw" app, it prob wouldnt work with sence, as rosie would always look for the default app draw.

Weather app/widget

Hello guys.
I am searching for a weather app/widget (preferably with clock too) like the default sense one, to use on an aosp rom.
It MUST have accurate current location detection and hourly forecast.
It doesn't matter if it is animated or not and it doesn't matter if it is a paid app or free one either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Beautiful Widgets;

Probably the nicest you can get - can set update to every 15 minutes if you require.
A massive amount of downloadable skins and also there is their own 'Skin Market' which is a very little known site where you can make your very own clocks and download to your phone - just choose the 'skin mixer' option

Very nice mate except one thing...
I can't find hourly prediction for weather..
Sent from my HTC One X Quad-Core Beast running wilkyyyy's mod

My mistake - hourly prediction, i mistook for hourly updates (as in refresh)
Hmmmmmm - how about the Go Weather widget - i believe its free and i had it installed ages ago but have since uninstalled it - i think that had hourly prediction if i'm not mistaken - however the reason that i uninstalled was due to poor updates.
Mind you this was about a month ago so could be sorted by now - worth a try at least if its free - from what i can remember, there is a bar at the bottom of the screen once app is launched and this can be raised to reveal extra information - also slid left and right to reveal more info....... hope this helps

I will test and let u know.
Many thanks

[APP][SENSE 3.6/4/4A/4.5][2013/1/1 1.43]HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider

This is my second Android app. I develop this little app because I prefer 3rd party launcher (e.g. Apex) than existing Sense 4 Rosie. Existing hacked Sense 4 Rosie (full version) currently doesn't support non Sense widget correctly and is less feature-rich than many other launchers.
Even if you install a 3rd party launcher, Rosie still consume your precious memory as a system service. But if you freeze Rosie and thus release it from memory, you'll lose your lockscreen app shortcuts. After painstakingly reviewing the codes in HTC shortcut components, I found that Rosie actually act as a content provider to supply information of its launcher bar shortcuts to lockscreen. So without Rosie, lockscreen has no information to construct its shortcuts. Therefore I wrote this little app to replace the role of Rosie as the content provider. What's more, it allows you to select your own apps with a simple config screen and store the data separately. And it doesn't stay in the memory permanently.
Installation instructions:
Uninstall Rosie (Freezing doesn't work because Android doesn't allow two content providers of same type) ** You're reminded to make a backup first **
Install HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider
Run Lockscreen Shortcuts
Select your app for the 4 shortcuts
Hit back to save settings and notify HTC lockscreen
MD5: 7DE3FFB948E496767E2B1EFDAC26638E
** Currently this app has been tested to work with Sense 3.6, 4, 4A and 4.5 **

Change log
1.43
- Return shortcut title with empty space instead of NULL values if Hide app title is selected
1.42
- Send broadcast notification to lockscreen on phone boot (should fix shortcut not showing issue after a reboot for TrickDroid)
1.41
- New option to hide app title
1.4
- Add support for Sense 4.5 (thanks Patrics83 for testing new version and support!). You MUST uninstall any previous version first.
1.3
- Add support for Sense 4A
1.2.1
- Fixed FC when loading installed apps
1.2
- Add support for Sense 3.6
1.1
- Added broadcast message to HTC lockscreen so no reboot is needed!

Yes, I captured the screen from my IncS. AFAIK, the H stands for HSDPA only.

You need to move this to the themes and apps section.

I tried this, and while the shortcuts did appear, they all only unlocked to the home screen. I followed the install instructions, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Any thoughts?

Oh, actually the app has been updated many times to support different Sense version. I thought no one use the app in this forum so I didn't update it here.
Anyway, the OP has been updated. You can try the latest version which should have fixed your issue.

This app worked great on my rezound running Sense 4. A note to everyone: reboot your phone after uninstalling Rosie/sense. I merely uninstalled it and then installed this app like the OP mentioned, and it didn't work. So I would add uninstall Rosie, reboot, then install this app. But working great nonetheless!

In Titanium backup, you need to filter for system app and then look for HTC Sense. Rosie = HTC Sense in this case.

Rather be Safe than Sorry

You need another launcher installed before you uninstall Rosie. Anyway, now you just need to push, say Apex.apk, into /system/app in recovery and you should be able top use your phone again.

The app works fine as long as the box "hide app title" is unchecked. But as soon as I check it (which is what I really want to do since the titles are unnecessary), the shortcuts won't show up on the lockscreen. Any idea why that is?

WIP HTC BlinkFeed from Sense 6 port

GakuGaku has ported blinkfeed from sense 6 over to work on various phones running 4.4. I originally came across this from an article that stated this port works on the Nexus 5. I have tested it and found that it also works on the Sprint LG G2. They are up to version 9 which comes with different theme colors. This is WIP and there are bugs. For instance Facebook isn't working with this blinkfeed port as of yet. Also since there are portions of sense 6 with this port to make the blinkfeed work, there are "grid" issues and therefore a lot of widgets don't work on other screens. Once installed you will have kind of a hybrid between sense 6 and LG Home. The softkey menu, the app drawer and windows are all sense 6 but your Lg Home notification area is still there and the main settings menu is still LG home. You can also turn off blinkfeed/sense 6 by going into settings and changing your launcher back to LG home.

thanks for the heads up!! Works great! No sense (harhar) in waiting, the process is super easy.

I found a work around for the grid issue. If your running xposed then download and install the "App Setting" module. This will allow you to change your DPI per app. Once installed, open up HTC Blinkfeed in the app list in the App Setting module. Change your DPI from 0 to 380.
Now set up all your favorite screens and widgets. Don't worry about everything look out of place and not centered. Don't worry about re-sizing widgets either at this point. Just get them on the screens where you want them.
Now go back into the app setting module and edit the HTC Blinkfeed DPI to 480. Now everything should look a lot better. For whatever reason we cannot add a lot of the widgets in the 480 dpi setting even though that's what fits best and is centered. However if you add them in another DPI then they will stay there when you change back to 480.

so this only works by flashing through custom recovery right?
I factory reset and not ready to root yet.
