when i had my diamond sense used to have a side swiping animation which was removed due to speed issues. now the hd2 is here is there a way of getting this back or is it in the code anymore?
If you mean swiping to the side to change tabs instead of using the slider then Yeah its there....... it is on mine anyway....
Theres no animation though, it just switches to the next tab........
same here...
if you mean something different, describe it better pls

hmmm
yea you can swipe, but when.sense first came out it used to animate like side swiping in sense for android does now quite hard to explain really..
it would move to the next screen not go to the next.screen

personally I can live without that, sense is a memory hog as it is without any extra animation..... I only leave the weather animation on because it looks so pretty lol
hahaha
its not that bad, i couldn't live without it. this phone i reckon could cope with it. i think i was removed years ago though. wishful thinking on my part
your right, the hd2 should be able to handle it......
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

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

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.

Dude remember how unstable it was on our EPICS? I wonder if it has gotten any better though

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.)
So, I followed the instructions in the thread to add the new Swype from the Nexus S that was enabled for rooted devices. It's working....ish (typing this thread up with it as we speak).
The issue I'm having, is that the keyboard doesn't take up the whole bottom half of the screen. There's a vertical bar of color that matches the screen I'm currently on, on either side of the keyboard.
I'm wondering one of two things:
1. Is it because I'm on a "De-Sensified" room? (Running Supra 1.4.1)
2. Is it just not stretching because of the different screen resolutions?
It's a great version of Swype, and I'll keep using it until the official one drops, but I was just curious...
Sniped from my Shooter
It's not gonna fill the screen until they make it compatible with qhd, this same thing happens on other phones, and mine (stock rooted ota)
That's what I figured. Thanks!
Sniped from my Shooter
I have it
I got a copy of Swype.apk and libSwypeCore(whatever).so from my co-worker's evo 3d (non-rooted) and placed it in my phone (rooted). It works. I'll update a zip tomorrow, unless someone else beats me to it.
EDIT: Here is the link for the qHD version: http://db.tt/swqQOlN
They're gonna release it this week anyway

has anyone figured out what we can do to solve this long standing problem? I know just as for many others, this is the only keyboard ill use. I'd even be willing to paypal something as well as I'm sure a few others I've spoke to in PMs would. If not, its cool... just figured I'd put it out there to see what's up.
I guess not, oh well it was worth a shot.

it has not and it will never be, the dev stopped updating the app and no one else capable is interesting in modifying it...
its only in portrait mode that its a problem, landscape works fine!
What exactly is the issue? I can't update it to our latest IME, but I possibly can fix the resolution.

it doesnt scale properly in portrait, its aligned to the left and so there is a huge gap on the right side
i have been waiting for this to be fixed since i went 3d...used it on my hero and 4g. the only one i really really like.
The current HTC keyboard with it's tracing feature is way nicer than the old HTC IME mod kb. Besides that, Smark Keyboard Pro is better than HTC IME mod too.
