I mean seriously all the HTC Home Plugin customizers are okay, but are THERE MORE THEMES to LOAD into HTC Home Customizer v1.0?? There is an option to load themes, I just cant FIND any!! I have tons and tons of just regular Today Screen Themes, but not ANY for the HTC Home Plugin??
Can someone point me into a set of themes or in that direction, cause I love all the themes I have just when I install HTC Home it makes the whole deal look crappy, and have have tried ALL available combination on the HTC Home Customizer v1.0 and some other Home customizer cab I got. Neither have GOOD THEMES!!
Thanks,

Has anybody else noticed how undetailed the homescreen icons are on the Evo 3D? in the app drawer, they look as defined as they should be, but when seeing them on the homescreen (my example being Angry Birds Rio) they look really bad. Worse than on my 4G running CM7. and also, is there a way to natively take screenshots with Sense 3.0? Like how the G2x can by pressing home/power at the same time? I saw the feature on my friend's Inspire running a Sense 3.0 port
if someone with the knowledge took a look at how the 3D is used for pictures and videos, would it be possible to incorporate it into the app drawer? maybe a single line of apps at a time
Once we get S-off and perm root, we'll find out. Most likley, huge battery drain though....hope you have a 4000 mAh ready to take advantage of that.
It wouldn't have to be 3D as in how the pics and movies are viewed, but instead how the sense UI is displayed. An app drawer where the apps rotate into view from an angle to give the illusion of 3D. I'm surprised that HTC didnt put more work into the senseUI appearance. If you watch the Evo3D commercial and didn't know better, you'd think that the phone was in 3D mode 100% of the time (as in how movies and pics are viewed).

Its not real 3d right? Downloading now looks kinda cool.
To the op, I think to do what you want it would need to be a homescreen locked in landscape only. As far as I know you can only see 3d if its in landscape .
We have seen tons and tons of modding of Sense 3.0 but honestly speaking these are more "Thematic Mods" than real Mods. Yes we have blue, red, pink and you name it and you get it colours available for lockscreen, rings, clocks, statusbar and you name it and you get it graphical items.
Most of you will agree these are skin changes and not real mods. Most android launchers these days have features we would love to see in our dearmost SENSE launcher, but as yet, we have not crossed that mod level. Back in the WM6.5 days, we had a super application called co0kies Home tab and most old folks would agree with me that this app rocked. Today that kind of sense modding is over UNLESS we flash a new ROM.
Is the sense Modding a DEAD END or is ROM development the only choice????
With this thread lets highlight and point to some of our incredible developers that we would love to have the following features and real mods in our dear sense package NATIVELY via tweak or apps.
Ability to hide status bar like in all other launchers merely by a gesture.
Ability to add delete number of homescreen pages WITHOUT ROM flashing.
Ability to lock / hide the Notificatios tab besdies the "Quick Settings" tab in the new Sense status bar.
Ability to change icons and their names as in all other launchers.
Ability to sort apps and hide apps from Ap drawer.
Ability to auto hide the Sense ARC at the bottom of the screen much like the Windows taskbar on pc.
Ability to change grid size in respect of coloumns and rows. Also very much achievable in almost all launchers.
The ability to change widget sizes as available in Go launcher and others.
3D rendering of weather on lockscreen. It would be nice to have EYE POPPING weather animations on lockscreen suing full 3d capabilities. I can do the 3D Rendering if any dev is interested in development
Please post simlar sense 3.0 mods you would like to have natively in sense 3.0 launcher and lets catch the interest of developers.
I think one highly desirable mod is workspace size, 5x5, 5x6..etc.. I've been working on it for a while with not much success..
I always seem to run into problems with recompiling Rosie. If I decompile a Rosie.apk with dependencies, then try to immediately recompile, the size is always significantly different (~1.8mb vs ~12mb). I've went ahead and made changes to some of the xml files within, but the size is always way off when it is recompiled...if it gets that far and doesn't throw an error...
It would be awesome if a more experienced dev could take this on or offer some guidance..
I think we all can agree 4x4 sucks on a qHD screen.

updated the first post with it.
Also added the 3d weather animation lockscreen. I can do the rendering of 3d if any dev is interested.
LETS KEEP SENSE ALIVE
Sounds good have you anything ready for testing?
Awaiting Assimilation
I totally agre. Im getting tired of using sense and not being able to change certain aspects of it that should have been changable from the get go. Sense is gret but it needs to be greter" so im sure that some other devs here that have the awesome knowledge will soon begin to consider these things. I am willing to donate for this type of work when the project begins. This is a great convo starter and im glad someone has came to point this out.
The only thing I would like is to be able to resize widgets if is even possible.

Yess. We can see different ROMS exploring different things. But at the same time we see different launchers providing functionalities which are awesome.
SENSE 3.0 as a launcher is dying out. We have themes for sense and that is all. Launcher functionality is Sense is limited. We had an excellent program called co0kies hometab for WM 6.5 and it allowed all types of customizations. However, most people today feel easy to download an alternative launcher over sense 3.0.
Lets keep this launcher alive.

Its possible in Go launcher. I have already added it to the top post.

I think it is possible, it was done on older versions of Sense..The widgets size themselves according to the layout size. You can't resize them on demand tho.

Its odd how sense 3.0 has an edit button when u long press on an icon or widget but u cant always use it and that grinds my gears because i feel it being mostly pointless of it being there. I hope it changes to have better functionality instead of a ui change like in the supposedly leaked sense 3.5. What a nightmare that is. Lol
I would like the rgb color widget that's in cyanagen mod so you can make your phone just one color like blue or green or red. Also if some can find me some pngs of the death star rotating I will make a star wars themed lock screen

This app I found on the market can provide the color rendering screen effect. Here's a link to the free/demo version, the full is $0.99

Just tested Go launcher. Apart from htc widgets, all wallpapers and live wallpapers from HTC including weather and htc hub is accessible from the GO launcher.
Plus HTC lock screen is also there with weather.
I wish OUR SENSE has these features.

"Old folks" ? LOL Dude... the cookie home tab mod was release almost a year ago in November (for the 2.0 ver). That's not THAT long ago.. LOL
Development for Rosie is not going too far because we don't have a cookiemonster equivalent in the Android world. All real modding is done in smali and I only know of ONE guy that can do serious modding to it.. RomanBB.
Unless we get someone like cookiemonster, Sense modding will never take off.

HOLY CRAP...You are bringing back memories of my WinMo days
I am up for beta testing as well!! I ran your ROMs on my TP2...

BTW, OP...nobody messes with Sense since it's so much easier to just drop Launcher, Luancher Pro, ADW, etc in the ROM, instead.
If anyone is interested these MIUI lockscreens are qHD, which is what our screens are. They work perfectly.

Thanks. I can tell you from personal experience that if you set one that isn't qhd, you might get locked out of your phone!

Thanks! Haha. No more of my mini hard attacks when I think I'm locked out of my phone.

I know the being locked out panic feeling,not fun! I used to have a Samsung Captivate with MIUI and loved all the themes/lockscreens. I was disappointed when the lockscreens didn't fit right on the Atrix, so I went on a hunt and found that the evo 3d and some others also have qHD screens.

Not working for me
Am I doing something wrong? I can't get any themes I download for miui to appear in my local themes window. I can download them online and they (mostly) work (with the exception of the ones where the lockscreen is offcenter, that makes sense now). But if I download them elsewhere and move them into my /sdcard/miui/theme folder they don't appear, even if I click import theme and go select them.
I figured I was downloading incompatible themes but with the list of qHD ones that can't be it. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
If it is just a lockscreen , you have to go to themes then click customize at the bottom, then hit lockscreen. Sometimes what you download might not be a complete theme so it's not going to show in themes, but will in the customize menu.
thank you!
For those who dont know, you can unlock manually any miui lockscreen pressing back+volumeup.
It supposed to be at the same time, but I have better luck keeping back pressed, and then pressing volume up.
