Hi guys
I just flashed Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 onto my MyTouch 4G.
I am wondering how I can get back Sense UI. I really liked the clock with the weather (the animations get me)!
Notes: Fancy Widgets and Beautiful Widgets do not provide the animations which I like.
Could anyone possibly provide an apk for the actual Sense UI? Or is it plainly impossible as long as I'm using Cyanogenmod?
Please reply soon. Thank you.
Fancy Widgets does have animations and you would need to flash a sense rom.

Impossible, if you want sense UI you gotta use a sense based ROM, a lot of sense features are in the framework.

Sounds like you just really love Sense. Why not just go back to Sense? Unless you like the quickness and battery life of CM7.
I think if you like the sense ui your best bet is Virtuous fusion to me this is most def the best rom for our phone right now...
Update: virtuous unity is the best one out now

Paid fancy widget does have the animation.
Yes fancy widgets does have animations but its not the same as sense but its reasonable i still say go with virtuous fusion

I switched to Cyanogenmod to try and take advantage of the unthrottling mod. It remains to be seen whether I will be able to avoid throttling or not.

Im curerntly running android 2.2 with htc sense on my aria phone.
As I become more intrigued with phone performance and android, I want to know what is the fastest rom that my aria should run.
What roms has the best benchmark test on my aria?
Thanks.
For me real world performance>benchmark score
The fastest/smoothest is the CM7 nightlies for me. Sense always seemed laggy to me. Plus ads ex is incredibly smooth even with screen animations & live wallpapers.
Also this should've been posted in general
Sent from my Liberty running CM7
They all perform exceedingly well given a particular set of needs and the right combination of software. For example, if a lean build with an nth degree of customization is important to you go with CM 6.1 or 7 (I would really recommend 7 at this point for the keyboard, speed, and enhanced copy / paste text selection). I would however lose the built in adw launcher for LPP or adw ex as it is as sluggish as sense. If you value HTC customizations, flash lite, FM radio and green led alerts, go with liberated FR. If you like the extra features but hate Sense and its lackluster performance, you can replace it with LPP or ADW ex and it will run just as well as CM on the smoothness front. Truth is with the overclock function both roms scream dsspite running on such modest hardware.

Are you serious?? ADW ex is the slowest POS i've ever used. Launcher Pro FTW...
I've never understood what people saw in ADW, it feels clunky and outdated.
the latest CM7 seems smooth,fast and great on power.
I replaced the ADW with LPP (latest) . . . and love it.
As mentioned before if you want to keep the Sense feel - then use FR008 - its quite good !

I can't notice any performance difference between ADW EX and LPP. I cant say the same for the standard ADW however. I'm a LPP guy all the way though. Can't beat all the features and absurd amount of customizability.

CM is pretty bare bones on the eye candy front, downright ugly. If you like interfaces written by programmers for programmers by all means get it. I have tried it and found it marginally faster than Sense but people who describe Sense as laggy are exaggerating. What swore me off CM is that despite the fact that you can customize pretty much anything you cannot turn off the annoying crawling ants animation on the home screen wallpaper. If you can live with that and the Spartan interface it is probably the best custom ROM for any Android device

mirror.teamdouche.net, and search for Liberty ROM
And nighties means an alpha or beta build of a software, compiled from night to night with the latest fixed added. As it just automatically built, it could contain lots of bugs because it hasn't been thoughtfully tested. That said, CM7 nighties are the less buggy nighties I've seen in software so far

Make sure you have another launcher installed AND chosen as the default launcher, or you will get stuck in a boot loop.

It's very much built into the rom. And with the amaze 4g's dual core 1.5 processor, adw or launcherpro isn't going to slow down the phone at all.

Use Senceless from ROM Development section. It doesn't have Rosie, htc facebook, htc twitter, widgets and a lot of other stuff is removed. It comes with Zeam launcher, but you can download another one and then uninstall Zeam.
I'm running it now, after restoring a few sense apps from Quiksense by using AppExtractor, and it's running great. It's no AOSP, but it's a super slimmed down version of sense.

Meaning new png's from Sense 3.0. There are at least 50 +, png's that need to be resized. There's also entirely new png's I've never themed before. It's going to take some time to get it fully themed.

I would like to know if there is a ROM that is as close as possible to AOSP (cm10 preferred) but which has the stock camera.

I have only every seen a handful of hybrid roms and they are difficult to maintain from my experience with them, the closest you will get is if someone can import the libs and somehow get it working that way but things like image sense are proprietary and it takes a lot of work to reverse stuff like that. Try one of the bloat removing scripts, I don't remember the name but one removes rosie and replaces it with a ics/jb based launcher so you aren't just running a launcher on top of rosie
If you install the new Viper 2.0 ROM you can choose to install it "Senseless" which gives largely the look of CM10, but you'll still have the Sense Camera

Good to know, I have yet to try viper. Seems just like that wipe script I saw a few months back. Aroma has a lot of customization built in.

RacerOfAll has a sick AOSP theme because he hates Sense but wants to keep using Sense features like the camera.
His Viper4G 1.0 theme is awesome, but now Viper is on 2.0 and the theme hasn't been updated, yet, so for the now I've manually pulled some of his apk's from the theme, manually replaced other apk's with AOSP versions and am using an HTC ICS skin and a 3rd party ICS launcher.
Basically, there's lots of stuff you can do to Sense ROMS to make them appear near-identical to AOSP while keeping Sense under the hood.

Awesome, man! You're gonna love it! I'm not going to release anything publicly, but once you're rooted let me know and I can send you the apks I use to make my phone look stock ICS.
I recommend Viper4G ROM from the Original Android Development forum. It comes with an awesome tweaks app that will let you customize the icons in your status bar to AOSP style. If you flash a different ROM I'll help you get it as AOSP as possible but you'd be on your own for the status bar
I might start a thread in the theming forum with screen shots of my setup and directions on how to emulate it now that I think about it. I'll be out of town Sunday so I'll check back here on Monday

I was wandering if there is a way to make a hybrid rom or if a dev would be willing to try to make one. I'm just suggesting because I like sense 5 but I do miss the sense 4+ widgets they removed and the carousel home screen transitions. Also being able to move your home screens around to a different spot. Everything else I like is from sense 5. If maybe someone could port those over or make a sense 4+/5 hybrid. Just a suggestion.

given the massive changes to sense, it would be a lot of work to try and integrate sense5 features into a stock rom or vice versa
given the dependency changes as well (fusion, assets, rosie/prism, etc) you would be asking for issues
not to say its impossible...but i dont see the amount of time needed and the probability of it not even panning out really being worth a dev's time....then again, some people seem to have 100 hours a week to work on stuff, so who knows
Unless you wanted to pay a lot for a developer to do this, it's doubtful. You could always download both versions and make your own hybrid. Granted this would be simple things such as icons and such (already available to download on Viper DNA) , unless you know how to code.

thats not a hybrid rom...thats a sense 4+ rom that has sense5 icons/images/fonts etc
a true *hybrid* would mix the frameworks/apks/widgets and so on...not just mimic the look
i remember the days of the hybrid sense 2/3 roms on the OG Inc...good times.
That ROM would probably take up a lot of system space since they call on different system commands..
I like this idea a lot, although i think the amount of work makes it not really worth the time someone would have to spend on it. There are some things I miss about sense 5. For example, why did they remove all the customizability? No skins? I feel like they're kind of pulling an apple on us. Regardless, I love sense 5. I keep switching back and forth though because I do miss 4+ sometimes.
