[Q] Sense Lite Version? Missing widgets? - HTC Desire X

I already know the answer to that question. But just want to blow off some steam. Really HTC? Lite version?
I mean come on, this DX packs 4gb ROM and 768mb RAM. Couldn't they have just included some more widgets and clocks. Also the different lock screens. Its not like we are gonna use em together to blow away the free ram.
I m kinda disappointed to know my favorite profile widget and clocks are missing. And they have not included a downloaded option either to download more widgets, clocks, skins like the HOX and other "little" high end phone.
Anyone else face the difficulty of stripped down version???

It does have Sense 4 Lite right now but this phone would get JellyBean according to HTC "Devices with 768mb of Memory Above are going to get Jellybean with Sense 4+"

Thankx and yeah i read a lot of articles too. HTC One V will not get since it has 512mb. Also this time they are gonna give more priority to devices released in 2012. One reason i havent rooted or unlocked is cos of that.
I just hope Sense 4+ is not stripped down again.

looking for the newest roms out there that rock for my htc touch pro verizon phone

hi to the people out there i'm looking for the newset coolest roms i want to update to my phone to a new rom but i'm not sure what is out there now but i do want the newest version of windows mobile 6.5 and sense 2.5 who has it on their rom send me a link or post it. oh my phone is cdma and verizon htc touch pro.
NFS FTW!
well vzw tp suck. no ram so sense 2.5 is kinda a no go unless you want lag. but wm 6.5 is a def yes. check out NFSFAN its got sense 2.1.
His roms are blazingly fast, and wicked (boston accent ) stable. I've been using it for at least a month now.
here are da links (two different builds one is the older build with menu at top and the other at the bottom.) i prefer the top menu one cause i dont like the bottom one

I have not tried this one yet, but, and sense sucks in my opinion. Giggles, are you one a TP V or TP S? The rom you recommend has a 16 meg page pool! I am stuck with 4 TP V and I have listened to my wife and kids ***** for over a year about them. I always set my page pool to 6 meg but even so, every wm6.5 and 6.1 with any version + sense or any slider app has made the phone almost useless.
I used SSK 3.0 Touch Pro Visual Kitchen - Preview 2 and I loaded the second version of 6.1 and then I unchecked anything sense or icon or extra and my phone is smoking fast now. After the easy GUI built the ROM, I set the pagepool to 6 and flashed.
I use http://pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html and although I have not fully tested it nor set it up all the way, I finally have a "sense" lol of hope. I do not need all them fancy things. Plus i think http://pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html does more and it does weather with certain skins.
I mean ****, we are stuck with low memory, and with any sense stuff or slider this or that, my family and I could not answer the damn phone half the time.
i have the tp verizon i mentioned that do you know ho to use the page pool thing is it the higher the better or the other way around. and since the touch pro has some much on board ram and rom i figured if i can figure out how to use it i can set or make a rom to use as much of the ram and rom that i can
I would not set it above 6 megs fot he TP V. It has limited about of ram.
ya but the pro has more ram and rom then diamond i know from the manual on htc website it has 512 and 192 or is it 256 but then again the service manual said 288 i gonna just do a test and see what happens.
i gotta verizon touch pro.
NFSFAN's rom works wonderfully on my tp with 16mb pagepool (its prob cause i dont use sense) titanium looks just like the zune os, and me likey the zune
... but yeah i don't think i mentioned that i hate sense/manila.
um yah, sorry bout that XD.
NFSFAN running just titanium has about 61% used at startup with 16mb pagepool. so yeah do some tweaking around with the pagepool and you'll find something you like.
Just a little tid-bit, i hate sense because its a RAM hog, and our vzw tp don't have lots of RAM so yeah, find a way to partition SD Card storage toward RAM and then we'll talk.
hey i gonna do so experimenting and see what happend to see just how much i can save.

Chance of Sense ports?

Hey guys.
Am still being torn between the Sensation and the Galaxy S 2 and,although I'm inclining towards the GS2,I still have some issues.Two of them are the biggest:
Plastic body(can live with that) and the absence of Sense(made a rime there! ).
As for the second one,what do you guys think?I saw two days ago that Sense 2.1 has been ported almost fully to the Nexus S,so why wouldn't the GS2 be able to run,say,Sense 3?
Seriously though,imagine this beast and Sense 3.Magic!If it is possible,I'm most probably sold!

same for me, i'm now a few weeks without sense, and neither launcher pro nor any of the other launchers are comfortable or "smooth" in the same way sense was...
i'm sure it would be possible to port sense to sgs2, but i think this would be a lot of hard work. without some dedicated devs there is absolutely no chance.
in the meanwhile i'm enjoying the sgs2 very much, the hardware is way ahead of anything HTC could offer at the moment - the overall user experience is almost superb...
what do you guys miss because im not understanding. It doesnt offer the same functionality with sense on past Winmo devices. Im not trying to be rude but help me understand what you guys are missing. Is it the eyecandy or flipclock?
I'm curious..
Don't misinterpret the tone of what I'm about to ask.. I assure you it is merely an inquiry..
If people love the sense UI why wouldn't they just exclusively by HTC devices?
Again, don't get me wrong.. I've used Sense (HTC Touch Pro) and Touch Wiz (Captivate, Vibrant, and soon SGS II) and I too miss the integrated prettiness of SenseUI but SenseUI isn't gonna happen on a non-HC device.. I'd venture to say ever.. (If I'm in error here please correct me) Sure I know we cannot predict tomorrow but I've read way too many threads where people have tried and as with most cases with attempted ports there's just too much custom code related to Sense to port to a non-Sense environment.
I'd LOVE to see native SenseUI on a Galaxy class device.. Sadly I doubt we ever will..
Intruda119 we are kinda having a civilized thing here,not intended for flaming.Do you,like any normal human being,have an opinion?If yes,say it.Else,don't criticise others.

Well,I want real power this time,that's why I'm turning to the Sam side!
Seriously though,I'd buy HTC again but all my smartphones have been HTC,so I kinda want a break.
What do I like in Sense?Mmm...Never had to answer that one before!Well,for me it's like they took all the good characteristics of other launchers and put them together in a nice,feature-packed(and resource-heavy however)interface.
Well,guess I'll try a detox...

who cares about Sense? you want Sense UI? get a HTC. i won't be using Sense or TW4 anyways. you want Sense on SGS2? wait for half a year for devs to port a buggy, crashy copy.

I would like sense, but after reading engadget's review of how it is not as snappy as the galaxy s 2, I wouldn't want to hinder the galaxy s 2 and it's goodness.

CM and MIUI are infinitely more important to me than Sense. If I wanted HTC's restrictive UI on my GS2 I would have bought a HTC instead.
Anyway, I doubt you will see a proper port of Sense and all it's required libraries any time soon. They have only just managed to get a usable version on the Galaxy and that phone is over a year old.

I can't imagine it being laggy, it already runs pretty smooth on the desire anyway the whole sense experience makes things for users much smoother.

I'm not sure so much that it is lag. But if i have the same setup on launcherpro and sense and the same animation, the launcherpro just looks SOO MUCH smoother. THink it's something to do with the fps?
I'm curious as well. WHAT is it about Sense that everyone wants? I come from a WM background so for us it's that WM is ****ty and Sense provides a pretty and functional (or as functional as we can get) interface to the user. Android, however, is BRILLIANT and has plenty of apps and launchers and what not that it doesn't need you to have ANOTHER interface controlling everything. Isn't it a blessing not to have sense??
I'd really like to hear your guys opinions.
I think so, seeing as I got bored of it. and switched to launcherpro after a few months, however this was on my first ever android phone and I didn't even know that there was such a thing as a UI overlay for android! If I'd known you could get replacement launchers from the market I would have done it much earlier!

I agree with the dialer and Widgets. But it hasn't got the best of everything else. Not to mention thr fact that there are better Widgets on the market. I've been using a custimizable, scrolling Calender for a long time now on launcherpro.
And don't know about sense 3 but the gallery on my desire really isn't amazing. Its pretty average and takes a llong time to load images.

ICS?

Alright, was thinking of getting the Flyer but I don't know if I would want it without an AOSP build on it. I mean it's cool, but it seems that this tablet would look beautiful with ICS or just vanilla android in general. I like sense but not enough to have a tablet with it.
So, are the devs planning any work on ICS or is it a dead cause?
I can't speak for every developer, but I don't think you will get a lot of takers to put in the vast amount of time an effort to build yet another vanilla tablet ROM when the Sense widgets and Stylus APIs add quite a bit to the Flyer and for some Sense widgets, there are no equal replacement widgets on the market. why bother, if someone doesn't want to use the Sense widgets and launcher, just don't use them, they hurt nothing in the background. And you cannot build a true working AOSP ROM anyway because you are always dependent on the hardware vendors drivers and kernel.
Just run the Flyer with ADW EX launcher or Launcher Pro if you like it better. Works fine that way.
Ill just say that I am NOT a fan of sense in general. I would never want it on a phone and run cyanogen on my evo 4g. BUT it actually works really well on the flyer. I wasn't a big fan of the sense launcher, so I'm running adw, but all of the other sense apps really add functionality to the tablet.
I'm a Rom whore on phones, but I'm still running the stock software (2.3.4) on my flyer because of works so well.
Just get a flyer and enjoy what's in my opinion the best tab available by far.
Sent from my HTC_Flyer_P512_NA
Although we do not have the strongest developer base ever. We still do have developers that do work hard for us. I'm not saying that we're going to have developers that will build ICS for us, but what I can say that it would not be a stretch to port ICS from DHD, G2/DZ, MT4G. I can say this because I have seen the GB flyer port to my G2 and it should not be hard to do it the other way around. So really we just need to wait until one of those phones gets ICS or if Cyanogen decides to build for us. We'll get it eventually it will just be a matter of when. The whole I like sense vs. I don't like sense argument does not apply here, because this is android and we will have a choice between the two. We'll most likely also get an HTC sense build of ICS from HTC, but that may take a little time.
while i am enjoying my flyer with homeycomb/sense i have to agree. as much as i love htc devices,i really hate htc sense. id very much like some sort of AOSP rom as well- it really surprised me to not see any cm7 ports,or even official cm support.
i personally dont use any sense widgets or apps. simply running a different launcher doesnt get rid of sense. you still have sense contacts,keyboard,email,etc. sure you can get 3rd party apps for all those things,but that makes the appready huge footprint of the sense rom even bigger.
AOSP seems smoother and faster on my other htc devices,and id prefer it on my flyer as well. id like to learn how to port roms to different devices,so i could have cm7,8,or 9
I would love to see ICS make its way onto the Flyer. But with how long it's taken HTC to give us a HC update, I'm relying more on Cyanogen than anything else.
Being a guy who is seriously considering this sexy tablet myself.
I have been wondering if there would be an ICS port although an official seems unlikely.
I don't "need" a tablet, but a device to read manga on and watch videos every so often would be nice.
This is the smoothest tablet I've ever seen (I like it more than any other tablet I've seen.. including ipad 2, galaxy tab ect ect)
Decided to get nook tablet instead.

We're not talking about an OG phone here with limited memory. The Flyer has gob of memory. Sense runs great on the flyer. While It might make you "feel" better to think you are running an AoSP ROM, there's nothing that makes it perform better. I would never give up the Pen or email and other widgets that sense has that no one else has for a good feeling. It doesn't make Sense.
ICS seems to be a close relative of Honeycomb.
I am hoping that the delay in releasing HC for Flyer officially is that HC is being cancelled and work is instead shifiting to ICS.
From what I see of ICS, I would take it over HC with Sense.
My guess is that no one is working on an ICS Mod for us.
hm.. gotta agree... there is no point in getting a rom if you actually are losing functionality... kinda the opposite direction of what most people hope for.
Especially sine 2.3.4 is a pretty decent version.

to each his own... i dont use the pen. i dont use any sense widgets. i like the way AOSP looks and feels,and the way the menus and native apps look. i dont like sense,and even if performance is exactly the same, *I* would enjoy *MY* flyer alot more if i had AOSP roms for it.
just my personal opinion... some folks like sense and sense widgets,and theres nothing wrong with that. but theres nothing wrong with prefering the look and feel of AOSP,either.

I think you mean you've bought the wrong tablet.
You have to know HTC == Sense. Just don't buy HTC if you complain about Sense.
With all the ICS Alpha ports popping up these days, even on the HTC HD and such, I would not be surprised to see a repackage bootable of ICS for the Flyer soon. These came around for the Old color Nook in Honeycomb flavor, but never fully worked. The problem is they stay about about 70% working until HTC releases the ICS kernel and drivers. Nice to see how they look but things like camera, Bluetooth, video playback and phone don't work. Who knows? Maybe one of the tapped in developers can even patch together a working kernel from the current HTC source code. Since Google released the main OS source, things could get wild.
digital,you are correct,sdk ports rarely amount to anything useable and worthwhile. source code is needed to really get all the functionality.

i know htc very well. i dont ever buy a device for the software it runs,since everything i own gets rooted and ROMed. i buy htc because i like the hardware,and i like the way they "work". i bought the flyer because i like messing with htc products.
lots of folks dont understand my fondness for htc,but my dislike of sense. as i stated,im enjoying my flyer very much with sensified HC. i dont mind sense in small doses , and and if AOSP roms were available,id prolly flip flop back and forth between them. not complaining,im not wishing i hadnt bought it. all i did was agree with the OP in that i also have a strong preference for AOSP.
again,nothing wrong with liking sense. nothing wrong with not liking it either.

To each his own, but when you have a vast majority who bought this for what it is and not what it can be hacked to, you're pretty much in the minority. So if you want the latest and greatest vanilla that breaks functionality most of us want, then you better bone up on your development skills.

This article claims that the Flyer will be shown by HTC in February running ICS.
Rumor has it that, in the coming months, HTC will unveil the first tablet underpinned by the new Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core platform. It seems that the HTC quad-core tablet will be revealed at Mobile World Congress 2012, event that takes place in Barcelona, in late February. Of course, the information is not official, bit it seems that it’s coming from a source close to the situation. Anyway, a lot of things can change in three months. At the Catalonian event, HTC will also reveal the Flyer and Jetstream models with stylus support and running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

That makes sense,honeycomb source code is a subset of ICS so most of the hard work is already done. Can't wait for stable HC. IcS Will come in due time.

HTC One V gets Sense 4.0!

Has anyone seen the new HTC One V? Its a low level phone running an S2 Snapdragon at 1GHz and only 512MB RAM and it gets Sense 4.0!
Yet all along HTC was telling people that only their newest top end phones has the horsepower to run Sense 4.0. They've said that Sense 4.0 would only be available on S4 Snapdragons or Tegra3 phones.
I hope some of the devs can get their hands on the ROM from that HTC One V and extract the Sense 4.0 stuff from it. Surely if it runs smoothly on that old hardware it'll run great on our Rezounds.

This has been known for a while, the problem is that the One V doesn't have a 720p screen. The One XL is about the only One series phone with a ROM that can be ported for use on the Rezound.

Powerful hardware has nothing to do with Sense 4.0
They said they were trimming a lot of the fat out of Sense 4.0, which actually makes sense to run 4.0 on a lightweight phone instead of 3.6.
They're only gonna have Sense 4 on their new phones, because they want those to sell more, its a good selling point. Sucks for us, but nice little strategy by HTC, make the best ui they've ever made, and only make it available on brand new phones, meanwhile letting all their old high end phones stick with their "well this is good enough, I guess" software.

Htc never said it will only be released on s4 and tegra devices, they said it will be released on the new one series devices as a selling point which makes sense(no pun intended). The one v also has a dumbed down version of sense 4, not the full version the one s/x get.
Like I've said before and others, Sense 4 is strictly a selling point for the One series.
Of course it'll run fine on our phones but that's not HTC's intention, at least right now.
According to the verge, sense 4 from the one v has been ported to other devices. So I guess the one v has sense 4.

Where's the love from HTC???
Anyone else feel frustrated as hell that HTC not only drags their feet on OTA upgrades, but never includes the latest Sense version? Like the Rezound for example, we will get upgraded to ICS, but the Sense stays at 3.6, mean while the new One series debuts with Sense 4.0 which the Rezound should easily run.

Why would you be frustrated when we already have sense 4.0?

Do we? We currently have a hack that is pretty unstable and has a long way to go. (no offense to the devs that have put in a lot of great work) It will come eventually (hopefully sooner as I can't wait to put it on my rezound) but there is nothing like a company produced product (especially after tweaking) that comes from a development organization with all of the source code and knowledge in house. (Let's also not forget the system test group that beats it up for months before release)

maybe the newest update, but I ran the previous one and even setting everything up the way he instructed, I had to pull down the status bar to and back to get any click on the screen to register.
I appreciate what he is doing, but its still a frankenstein port of 3 different phones which usually means there will be some bugs.
Not that I care that much about sense 4, we won't get it because they have said its only for the new phones going forward. Its a business decision.
HTC has never updated Sense on there phones to a new version. Meaning if your phone has Sense 1.0 they would go 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc but you wouldn't see 2.0 on that device.
This is how HTC has always worked so not sure why people are still surprised by it.

One or a few of the desire phones got updated from 2.1 to 3.0. It certainly happens, just not that often.

HTC Sense on S9+?

This is the first time I've ever used a Samsung phone, and I've had it since release day, but... I really hate the UI. It takes me way more clicks to get to things I used to use all the time on my HTC 10 with significantly less effort. It also looks pretty ugly in comparison, has anyone successfully ported any elements of Sense (particularly the Clock/Weather widget and launcher) to work on Samsung devices?
I came from a HTC 10 and, honestly? Not seeing what your problem is. I've set mine up the exact same way I had it on the 10 and it takes the same amount of time to get to things. I swipe up, all my apps are in folders, and I go to the one I need. Or I have a set amount in the edge display, but I keep forgetting about that.
Having said that, you wont be able to port Sense in the sense that it is a launcher that will just run without problems. I mean, you could try installing the HTC Sense APK, but as I said ... problems. It probably won't work.
There are a plethora of apps that are close reproductions of the clocks and other things. I've not found myself missing anything about HTC Sense though. I did, a while ago, wonder if someone had created an older HTC Sense theme for any launcher (I'm taking the Rosie HTC Sense) but nothing was there. More sort of pleased to be having a better working phone. I had issues with the 10 Camera and Wifi/Mobile signal that I am so glad are gone.
These screenshots are pretty much exactly how I had my 10 set up. And if anything, I think looks better. If you hate the way the default looks, find a theme. It might take a while, you have to pay for a lot of the decent ones (one of my few contentions with the S9+ / Samsung themes) but they're there.

It was ported to other Samsung devices but I have not seen aport for this device yet.
I would google around. If the port worked on other device it would prolly work on this one. They person that posted it put up all the files needed to simulate Sense.

what was the last known model it was ported to?
Thus far, the current samsung experience has been pretty close to the last version of HTC Sense that I used (Oreo on HTC 10). Its much cleaner, simpler, and so on. Whereas TouchWiz in the past has been ... not brilliant, in comparison.
