So i got my replacement Tbolt, and am running the leaked MR2, and one little thing has been driving me mad. The 3G icon looks terrible... and of course im not in a 4G area so it ALWAYS THERE. Is there any way to change it? I'm sure im not the only one who hates it...
Idk just a little annoyance. Any help is appreciated...
Lol I hate that ugly thing too. Also annoyed by constant warning toast whenever I start Gps - even though I clicked the never warn again button like a dozen times now.
Should be able to replace it if u rip one you liked and placed the image where the icon image is in root explorer...

Use ninjamorph to change it, or swap it out in the Romzip (on your pc) and then flash it
To each there own but I like the icon better now. Although I wish I had 4g and didn't have to see it at all

I justed noticed yesterday that if you are in a call and get out of the Dialer app, the notifications bar starts glowing green until the call ends. It freaked me out at first, I thought I was getting major light leakage, but then I figured it was just an indicator that I still had a call in progress. Cool feature.
It also goes green (for a second) when you fling-scroll (scroll quickly) to the top of your contacts list, your apps list, and many other screens.
Yep, it does this to remind you that you are still on a call...There are other neat features as well...
My EVO 4G did this too..Maybe u didnt have the 4G since u seem surprised

Yup it was feature when sense 2.0 came out, which is something that iPhone had already just a bit different
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

I had an ogevo, but I was rooted with CM7...so I didn't have that feature.
Its a sense 3.0 thing, I also noticed this when I was running it on my evo 4g back in the day.
noob question...
Will someone develop a Sense-like ROM, once development gets underway for the Photon? I really liked Sense, but did not like the 3vo's sound/speaker quality. I would love a sense ROM on the Photon.
Is it possible to strip the sense interface from 3vo and stick it on the Photon? Will this only be possible if bootloader is cracked or would it be possible with root only?
Sorry if the question is redundant or too simplistic for this forum.
Thanks.

it can be done but why? it's like a beautiful woman with a snaggletooth she's perfect till she smiles and ruins everything...
I honestly don't understand why everyone raves about sense. Yeah, its pretty, but never really added any functionality for me. I had an evo, and had a Evo Shift and the first chance I had to dump sense, I did.
I loved touchwiz on my epic, because it was basically just stock, tweaked a little.
To me HTC Sense is bloated and unnecessary. When you can't do certain things in sense that you can in stock android, it seems pointless.
Also, I don't know why everyone hates on blur. I know the old blur sucked, but whatever Ninja or Ghost blur the photon is running I absolutely LOVE.
@randomrobbi - "When you can't do certain things in sense that you can in stock android, it seems pointless"...maybe I missed something...what can't you do with sense that you can with stock?
The thing I miss most about sense is the widgets, especially the email one. It would show unread push email from several accounts including an exchange account and gmail. I liked that it would show the unread count immediately like photon does for voicemail.
I also liked the unlock screen where you could drag the slider circle to one of 4 apps that you want to use immediately.
And, yes, it was pretty. Couldn't a sense ROM have the bloatware stripped from it so that wouldn't be an issue?

I guess I misspoke about that. It's just harder to carry out some actions in sense, as compared to stock android. Like hitting dialer, and being able to easily access your starred contacts. I just felt like Sense added alot of extra steps to simple actions. I guess i'm just biased, but the first android I owned was an HTC Hero, which I never rooted or put a rom on. I didnt keep it long and went back to my blackberry. I've just always been more a fan of AOSP Android.

kimmie...try out THIS lockscreen. Same as the Sense one Agile Lock Screen
Also...I miss the Sense 3.0 Notification bar. Effin amazing. Has tons of toggles, quick access to apps, etc. Was so convenient & slick.
I'm sure I'm also in the minority but I happen to really like Sense, both visually and from an ease of use standpoint when setting up new devices. That said, I often turn a lot of those things off, or flip back and forth between various launchers but I still miss it sometimes. DEFINITELY agree about the Notifications, those are just the way I'd like them to be.
I'd love to see an installable Sense but it seems pretty deeply entangled in the rest of the system, just like Blur, so I dont know how well it'd work as a standalone.

Im coming out of the closet too. I love the build and accessories of the Photon but im so damn used to Sense. Its like driving home from work, sure there are many ways but after awhile you find and get used to the fastest and easiest way home. Vogue, TP, TP2, Evo 4G and Evo 3D...currently Photon. Some days I forget how to get home.
Oh how about a touchwiz 4.0 like rom I really do miss my quick panel in the notification bar it was really handy :/
With the HTC Sense api recently available, i am sure that someone will start creating widgets and icons etc for other non-sense devices.
hmmm that didn't sound right, oh well, hope you guys know what I mean. lol
TS out

Ifeel the same, I love the Motorola Photon... better speaker, better signal strength, call quality is better also... It just seems to be a little stronger over all.... But I miss the Sense 3.0. Sense is fluid with no lag.
The Motorola Blur has a slight delay when switching back and forth between home screens. I used to miss the graphical HTC widgets, but i have beautiful widgets for that so i am not realy missing anything. I just miss the speed and fluidness of Sense technology.

The Delay can be removed with the super charger script, my buddy's Photon is now just about as smooth/quick as my Syngery Evo
The delay can be removed by adding launcher pro, turning off screen animations and putting all speed at 10... fastest phone out there then, faster and smoother than evo 3d.. i know because ive owned both lol
Edit: i know a lot of people prefer adw or GO but i dig LauncherPro.. also dont care about the updates as much because cool thing about blur is that you can use the widgets still once the overlay is installed, unlike sense.

What the hell are you doing back here? According to your thread in the 3d forums, this phone is a piece of ****. However your info about launcher pro and the settings is correct.
I don't understand the hate for the M.A.P. launcher I actually dig it
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Try Launcher Pro as the launcher, register it for the senselike social widget, and get Weather & Toggle Widgets and tbe weather widget forecast addon for your flip clock. This makes for a NICE senselike alternative.

I think any phone with ClockworkMod Recovery can flash TW 4.0. It said that on the homepage awhile ago. Go to the Galaxy S i9000 forums in the Themes and Apps section and one of them is flashable I think and works on any device.

I used to be a sense guy too.. I mean.. compared to stock android... it blows it out of the water... After getting the Evo I got my wife a Samsung Moment... I upgraded it to 2.2 but I never saw stock android before... I thought it was still 1.5 or something because I couldn't believe stock android looked that bad...
Stock android is ugly as sin.. and the widgets are less than ****.
But then I found Launcher Pro and its "almost-like-sense" widgets for calendar and facebook and I've never looked back. I loved Evo Deck on my Evo and Evo Shift Deck on my wifes phone because it is CM7 with ADW Craplauncher removed and LP added... a much better choice I must say.
LP's widgets are the only thing close to Sense's widgets so until another launcher starts pushing good widgets... I'll never leave.
So to answer the OP... Launcher Pro is the only Sense-like option you have... combined with Fancy Widgets for the flip clock (its the only one that does auto-update of weather based on GPS.)
If u could make a Rom for EVO LTE exactly how u wanted what would u include? I'm talking straight features, not theming and all that
although it is cool.
My Rom would obviously have the apple patent restored off top just to say fu to apple. I'd also have a fix for multitasking and keep sense (happen to like sense) if I could. It may be too hard to fix the multitasking without doing away with sense 4.
And what else, let's see.... Minimal OS to limit the amount of RAM used up like sense 4/ics does. U also have to do away with bloatware like Facebook, Twitter, google plus etc. and the like. If u want it u can dwnld it later right?
I'd also have a modified auto brightness setting that uses less backlight to save more juice. Also make it so that when u disable a process it actually disables. Same goes for the WiFi options not doing what they say they do and are flat broke.
Viperboy is known to come out with some awesome mods/roms. I'd like to improve 3g speeds if possible similar to what he's made before on earlier androids. Also a SBC kernel. I know that won't work on sense, but maybe one day.
Would make both the sd and ext sd accessible by computer and selecting disk drive.
I guess overall I really want a stable Rom that pushes the EVO to its limits but keeps good battery life. I've flashed countless roms that are very cool on paper, but they crash a lot. And I hate reloads/reboots more than anything.
So, what's your ideal Rom? Be interesting to see what devs would say to this. Who knows, maybe your ideas will be used to make a new Rom!

sounds like your dream rom is CM9!
on my epic I liked the tweaks of the aokp rom except cm9 seemed more stable.
I would like to get rid of sense myself and go pure ics.
CM9 or AOKP with Sense widgets and Sense camera functionality preserved.

Yes sense widgets.
ICS Contact manager, I hate the sense one built in.
AOKP pull down menu with LTE toggle. The WiMax toggle doesn't work on the Epic 4G.
MIUI dialer answer screen.
Im such a n00b I just learned to spell n00b (previously spelled noob)... would it be possible for a ROM or CM9 to make wimax available?? OG EVO was so much better on data. Or is it just a hardware issue? Yes Im a n00b
I'm pretty n00bish, but I've been using vipers ROM (1st and only so far) and it's pretty awesome! I added a few other mods/tweaks and my 1st two battery cycles went 28 and 41 hours. I was amazed. It sounds like I need to do some reading up on CM9.

Nope ..there's no way that the LTE will ever pick up at wimax signal..its hardware related ..WiMAX and LTE are different 4g tech's requiring different radios..and like said b4 a aosp Rom with sense widgets and camera make me drool..wonder if its possible..that would be sick
Tested out viper Rom some before I took my 1st LTE EVO back for bricking NFC. Liked it quite a bit. Haven't rooted my exchange yet. Kinda scared to mess around with google wallet anymore, well, when rooted anyways.
There's no big hurry for me to root at the moment, although a cm9 Rom with sense widgets would probably push me over the edge, again, lol.
Treat this phone like such a baby when I treated the og EVO like a faithful dog. Always knew it would snap back. More worried with this silly secure element crap. Wouldn't be so much if it hadn't happened to me.
