Really don't want to go back to sense - HTC EVO 3D

I don't want to go back to sense, but it seems in order to keep full functionality of my phone I need to. In ex. Like my personalize options, how shotty is it not being able to change notification sounds. Is there anyone working on desensing while keeping this functionality?

Im using scrolser's senseless rom at the monent which isn't true AOSP, its just a
very stripped down version of sense which is perfect for me for now...I personally
can't stand sense its too cluttered and a huge memory hog. If you need more
customization for notifications just download some apps from the market to take care of that like ringdroid for example. Everyone is different though its really what you like in the end.

If you don't mind no having 3d why don't get the nexus s ? Is really nice device overall I like it, I like sense so I choose the 3D

i think sense is great, wish there was a way to create a launcherpro image out of sense. i think scrolling thru the screens is a lot smoother and nicer than without sense. i've compared the screen scrolls with ADW Launcher & launcherpro, i like sense 3.0 a lot better.

Not sure what you mean. I've configured my notification sounds for each of the apps I use (Gmail, Google+, Messaging, Talk) without any issues.
And since I wasn't keen on the limited customization of the Sense launcher, I just installed GO Launcher EX.
So what's the issue?

I think what he means is you cannot access "Personalize" easy if Sense is disabled. If you install an alternate launcher and press the "Personalize" button on the rosie, nothing happens. Same thing occurs if you try 'Personalize" inside the "Settings" menu.
I own ADW Launcher EX. However it remains un-installed in my market since Sense 3.0 is very intuitive, integrated and... pretty. Plus it moves along very fast on Synergy lastest with RCMix kernel 2.2.3...

GO Launcher FTW!

Why did I choose the 3d over the Nexus?? Well it's a better phone of course!! Dual core processor and I love HTC over Samsung... And I can root it and put whatever sense or AOSP rom I like on it

What's the work around w/ a non-sense based rom / alternate launcher? Which market apps work?

i enjoyed asop on my evo, but think ill be keeping sense on my 3d. 3.0 is much, much better and i use launcher pro and widget locker so the interface is exactly as i want it. im not sure what notification customization youre talking about. with both asop and sense there is the general notification sound but if any app supports changing it that is the same on both interfaces.

Just install HomeSwitcher and use it to switch your launcher to Sense temporarily while you adjust your "Personalize" settings, then switch back. It's not that complicated or hard, and beyond the odd tweak, how often will you really be going into the Sense personalization options if you're using a different launcher?

That works fine if you're OK with sense and all of its baggage hanging around just to use one setting menu. There has got to be a workaround.
I know you can change the notification setting, but I like to have my email "ding" to be different from my SMS / default notification....

Well, since the only way to get rid of Sense completely is to flash a ROM, and most ROMs don't include sense.
So S-Off and flash a ROM, and there's your fix.

That's what I did and I'm ok with that part. I What I'm looking for is a way to get to the setting that will change ringtones for mail, sms, and calendar separately. That setting doesn't work with non-sense roms.

What SMS app are you using? And can you use Gmail, or do you need the functionality of the stock mail app?
I know even on every ROM I ever installed on my old Xperia X10, I could set a distinct SMS and Gmail ringtone. Can't remember about calendar. You just have to manage them directly through the app itself, rather than through a centralized settings panel.

On my Evo4G I don't remember where to go for the settings, but I do know that you were able to change the sounds for various apps. Should be the same on an Evo3D senseless ROM.

It depends on the ROM. Some have centralized interfaces for sound/notification management. Others use the default Settings > Sounds controls which only allow you to specify Phone Ringtone and Notification Sound. After that, it's whatever settings the apps in question offer.

The big launcher debate

Hey guys. I'm trying to figure out witch launcher is the best out there. So I would like you, yes you, over there, yea you, to post your reasons as to why helix,And, launcher pro, panda, or even ahome is the best. So ready...go!

I honestly think launcher pro is the best because of the way the applications appear when you press the button in the tray, the icons on the tray are awesome and I love how
The application come together when You press the button on the tray, but I dont like how you have to pay for their widgets which are awesome, but I guess its worth it

I like ADW.Launcher. It has lots of options, it's themeable if you want a different look. ADWNotify is an awesome addition to it. It's open source.
best launcher
I have to agree, launcher pro is the best. Im using launcher pro plus and I love it.believe me, I've tried them all
ADW.Launcher and LauncherPro are the two choices that I would personally recommend. Both of them are excellent choices. In the end, it's really up to you to decide which launcher suites you. Try both and play around with it to see which one is better.
Im using a heavily nodded version of touchwiz. Imho its the best launcher. It has landscape and portrait support on the homepage and the apps and it let's you set any page as the homepage unlike regular tw. It also has 4 icons and an app drawer.

+1 for Zeam. I have the pay version of Launcher Pro, and have also tried ADW, and TW, but Zeam has worked best for me. It's fast, relatively light weight, gets regular updates, and is not bloated with unnecessary features. I found that I just didn't need all the widgets, etc. that come with the others.
Im an ADW fan boy. I think LP is a little more user friendly. But if you know how to use ADWs settings, and use the bidden gems (hold an app over the trash for 3 seconds to un install, etc.) I find it much better. The latest update of ADW is amazing.
Lovellkid
I too am a fan of zeam. Definitely feels less cumbersome than launcher pro (i have the plus, and I really don't care for any of the widgets). I much prefer zeam's dock, and the action bindings are awesome (i use swipe up for open dialer, swipe down to open app drawer, both of which save be dock space, and use double tap to open notifications)
It now lets you resize widgets and adjust home screen rows and columns- I see no need for launcher pro.

what's new in the latest ADW?
Rearranged menu settings, trash is located at top now when deleting an app off screen, 1/3/5 icon menu, ui changes that I think are great. Another awesome thing is that if you long press an icon and drop it back in same spot, you can change the icon. So for twidroyd (can't stand their logo) I changed it to the official twitters logo.

you actually just have to hold on the screen to bring up the menu and then go to custom shortcut -- pick activity -- launcher actions -- open/close app drawer

I use launcher pro plus most but I like messing around with all kinds of different things. I kind of liked GDE too but it's too bulky but I liked the customizations you could do with it. I also like adw with all the themes available for it and I think it's pretty similar to launcher pro but no widgets. The notifier is nice though.

[Q] What Launcher are you using?

Hello,
So I basically want to make a small survey that what launcher are you currently using and how is your battery life. I am trying to narrow down if some launchers are better for the battery life. I am currently using Touchwiz and get about 8 hours of moderate usage every day. Not good.
So how about you guys?
I used LauncherPro for a day but then removed it. It just hasn't evolved enough meanwhile TouchWiz, Sense UI and even MIUI have gone way ahead with their launchers. I don't think you will notice much difference in battery life between different launchers. LauncherPro renders stuff much faster but I don't like its appdrawer and dock.
Now I'm using TouchWiz until someone ports MIUI to SGS2.
GO, I prefer vertical scrolling to horizontal scolling in touchwiz and like that you can sort the apps alphabetically (who on earth tought it would be a good idea to make a horizontal scrolling app drawer and sort the apps by install time!?), also the running apps (+task killer) and recent apps tab are real handy
I'm gonna give Launcher Pro a go today. As for the scrolling, I quite like the horizontal scroll, but dislike it for seeming like the iPhone
By the way. How is the performance with some other launchers?
I used to have Go Launcher when using Desire. Now when I got this phone I first changed to Go Launcher also but then I noticed heavy battery usage and also some jerkiness with the scrolling, therefore I switched back to Touchwiz and still here. It is not THAT bad as everybody has been saying.
Launcher pro paid version.
Could have easily had 24hrs moderate use yesterday.
Tbh I don't think the launcher is one of the main factors affecting battery life though.

I noticed the similar jerkiness with the go launcher initially and ended up switching over to launcher pro for a bit. When i reinstalled go launcher to use the notification addon, transition was much better and the battery usage was on par with touchwiz
Builtin widgets are better with launcher pro but i like the notification addon for go launcher more.
I have both go launcher ex and launcher pro installed but the default launcher is set to go launcher

ADW Ex. Very pleased with it.
Currently 30% battery left after 2 days 3 hours, moderate use, but have removed or frozen a lot of bloat and/or stuff I don't use (Facebook, Twitter, games). Freezing TW launcher seems to have helped hugely wrt to battery life.
On KE2 stock.
I've got the following, adw launcher, go launcher ex,launcher 7, launcher pro, spb shell 3d and TW
Lol, for testing purposes
I usually use go launcher but have been trying regina 3d launcher, looks nice but i should imagine it would have more of a drain on the battery although im yet to confirm that.
ADW Launcher EX its the best choice for me, there are many themes you can use to customize it even more, the desktop scrolling efects are just great and i love the posibility to hide the main dock and the notifications bar, the screen just looks awesome then
Have had all the launchers mentioned already for a spin on the phone. I had been for the most part sticking with adw on the N1 but I was not able to get that to perform smoothly on this phone. Right now I'm actually using tw with most all of the wiz removed/frozen. I find I like it.
ADW EX. the only con is the no-bubbles on the dock. if I receive a message I can't see it in the dock, only in the notification bar.
I'm using Launcher Plus Pro. It's great, but it freezes on almost every boot. Have to wait a minute for force close to pop up, then it works beautifully. I suspect it's because the SGS2 is scanning the SD cards on every boot.
EDIT: Oh and I would have used TW4 if there was a way to alphabetically list apps.

There is an app on the market called sort apps that will sort the app drawer alphabetically. Requires root. Another thing I did was move the default home to center, instructions are available here. Hard to believe anyone thought that an unsorted app drawer was a good idea. lol

Can't find it. I've searched for "sort apps", "sortapp", "sortapps" & "sort app".
It popped up on mine (eu generic) used in the states. It also pops up if I just use touch wiz for the search terms.

Post your apps that you theme with, or are worth paying for..

I saw a post for a replacement dialer and contacts here by seansk that has an ICS theme I really like, and I was wondering what other apps you guys may be using to get your phone the way you like? Or in a general sense, what apps you guys have that are worth paying for?
Figured I would ask in case someone else has a cool find.. until ICS is officially released, that seems to be the direction I have been trying to theme toward look-wise, but feel free to share anything cool
I'm using widget locker with ICS unlockers, golauncher and gosms with ics theme, exdialer and excontacts with ics theme.. the only app I know I paid for looks wise was beautiful widgets, but I've been using the included weather&clock widget that is included in bulletproof.
I was thinking of flashing the ICS battery with percentage in the bulletproof fourth bar sensi-fy thread, but I haven't found a screen of what it looks like yet..
If you're really proud of your setup, post some screens too!

3. also a cool trick even if you use a third party launcher, go back to Sense launcher and make the skin blue in the settings, I think its under skin or themes or something like that...now all your check marks, progress bars everything becomes blue...like ICS...

I'm gonna give your second suggestion a shot, are you using the ics.zip or the bliss_ics.zip? I didn't see him say what the difference is.. and the few "skins" or "scenes" that came with bulletproof don't seem to make a difference.. but I'd be interested in giving it a try.
Besides the dots being blue when I switch screens in golauncher, this seems to be where the theming is for golauncher.. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13692699/2012-01-26_13-42-33.jpg can you post screens for how the launcher ex ics looks?
I was happy with your exdialer and excontacts ics, so another thanks for awesome suggestions
Edit: Okay, it REALLY didn't like the bliss_ics.zip, it constantly would pop up a box that said:
%a%1
Noon
And would have an input method button.. no matter how many times I clicked it, it kept coming up, and the status bar never loaded.. so maybe it doesn't like bulletproof? I'm flashing the rom again, should be fine, but wish that theme worked, it looked sweet
Bliss is for the Verizon phone that is sense 3.5, so you're phone will hate it.

I definitely like the look of that launcher theme, I just can't give up the functionality that comes with golauncher.. and definitely thanks for clarifying that about the bliss thing, since it was posted in the amaze section I didn't give it much thought(I'm totally new to htc/sense products). I'd do the whole theme that you have, but that black on black is a deal breaker for me.
Here is my homescreen, I try for a minimalist look, which is hard considering I have over 130 non-system apps(I still need function)..
My solution is a folder within folder setup.. if I click the icon in the bottom right I get:
Then if I click the google app I get my autoapporganizer folder:
Autoapporganizer is kind of ugly, but I can backup the folder setup with titanium backup, the shortcuts don't get weird like widgets do when you flash a new setup, and long pressing an app allows an uninstall that also backs up the app.. I can't find a better looking solution that has nearly as many features.. hmm, wonder if it can be themed..
Here you go lots of screen shots and some camera shots with the amaze...

http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/2012/03/go-launcher-hd-v1-0-beta/
I use Go Launcher EX on my phone and liked it alot, but on TPF it was rather disappointing. Glad to see they are working on a tablet version! Trying it out now.
oh man - I love it too on my phone.
And I just got my hubs set up on adw - have to do it all again...
Looks pretty good so far. Still missing a lot of the customization features (transition animations and themes for example), though.
This launcher isn't smooth like stock or apex, trebuchet, nova.

Looks good! Thanks!

looks good, but lot of work on it
I really hope this turns out well with all the customization that adw has. There are some things I've just always really liked about go launchers (even though I use adw) such as the way you set up folders(its so much faster) and other small things. As long as I can make a nice hubs layout with this and its smooth i'll definitely switch

Yes you are right. Compare to stock, even at 1.6 GHz, the scrolling animation isn't very smooth. Hopefully they'll get that fixed in future updates.
A step in the right direction. Definitely missing a lot of features tho.
It's a good start. Obviously still a lot of work to do and features to add but I see potential.
Not feeling it yet. On all of my tabs I have stuck with the stock launcher. On gingerbread I was adwex and nothing else whether it was sense, tw, or mb. But hc and ICS I've been sticking with stock..... feels like they got it right.

i agree with you guys in that stock is doing what it needs to do for me. i moved to this for 3 reasons...
1) Go Launcher has done some great things with my phone so i was optimistic that i'd eventually switch to this on my tablet.
2) the dock bar is cool as it stays there via all the homescreens. i have access to gmail, the market, touchdown, and my browser from any any homescreen.
3) this was the main reason. i feel they've gone leaps and bounds with the widget/folder/shortcut/app adding section. instead of going to the app drawer and dragging icons one at a time doing the same steps it allows you to select your apps first via a top scrolling area, then organize after. if you want to add a folder, you can select the apps you want to add and then it gets added after you're done.
reason 3 is a path i hope and imagine all other launchers would go through. makes restoring a lot easier, aside from the obvious backup and restore.
cool im going to try this!
Installed and using it for an hour. First impression "Excellent" and welcome step by Go Launcher. The Go Launcher Ex was not for tablets. I am using it for ~2 hours. Smooth and clean. I especially liked the edit mode. In just one edit mode you can modify wallpaper, add app shortcuts on all desktops & add widget. This feature is definitely better than the stock and ADW EX. I believe Sony has similar UI for tablet S. I liked it when I researching tablets. Waiting for more features.
+ 1.
can anyone confirm that this is hardware accelerated?
hi at all,
thanks for the great app "go launcher hd".
it's run perfect on my prime, very good speed and stable but with some faults...
i found the following bug:
1. no more apps/games than 24 in 1 directory
- if i create a directory in app drawer like "SPIELE" and i move in this directory 24 games i have a problem.
after a short time or reboot the directory "SPIELE" is not exist anymore, so all my apps/games are normally selectable through app drawer without the created directory, becouse is missing.
2. max 24 apps/games in one directory
when i post more than 24 apps/games in one directoy, the new added app is not listed. on the app drawer the app is missing to. only when i make a new sort the app will be listed, but not in the directory itself.
3. app drawer directory link and desktop directory link are not the same
when i create a directory and make a link to my desktop quick start list, all ok, but when i add more apps/games with app drawer to this directory, the apps/games are not listed in my desktop, so i must delete first the icon on the desktop and add the new changed directory link to the desktop.
4. no oppinion to add apps/games from app drawer to quick start list.
add apps/games are only possible from app drawer to desktop and than from desktop to quick start list, but not from app drawer to quick start list.
5. running apps listed are not correct?
in app drawer category "running apps" are not correct, many apps listed for allways run, like
some root apps like "samba filesharing" (is definite status "stopped") and some asus standard apps like "mpe notice, mail, messenger, facebook, navigation, talk -> they are listed as always run, but i found no process for it.
tested:
version beta 2 go launcher hd
os: asus transformer prime 9.4.2.15 DE
Nova
I have to say Nova launcher is still my fav, lets me use as much landscape possible...
I should qualify that.... it is Nova Launcher Prime....

Why are you guys dropping TW

I never liked touchwiz when I bought my vibrant and couldn't wait to throw a pure manilla AOSP build.
I skipped the G2 and waited and bought a Galaxy nexus that I've been using for 7-8 months so far. I love the features of jelly bean and this is where Google leaves them far behind in the dust.
I've been very impressed with Samsung's TW on my T-Mobile G3. It seems they listened to the masses and implemented many useful mods that we shoot straight for after root and recovery. I'm surprised many drop it for ICS CM9 builds. I feel its going backwards. I can understand jelly bean because Google search works perfect and the keyboard is great along with the build and everything also JB brings.
I love this TW and for the first time of my Android experience I'm going to stay on stock based roms.
Just my opinion but this is the beautiful thing about android. There is no right or wrong roms there's user choice. This just happens to be my view. I'm really looking for opinions. With android you get what you want and this awesome community drives the innovation forward.
Take care community

I love T.W......
I'm new to android coming form iPhone's. I very much like the change. I like this version of TW on the SIII. My only gripe is that one cannot use auto rotation to landscape the home screens. I loaded Apex launcher to be able to have landscape on my home screens. If TW provided this feature, I'd probably still be using TW. I do like the ability to resize widgets that Apex provides though.
i hate touchwiz. it looks like crap and there is nothing i like about it. i like stock android but i got this phone for its hardware and screen. since touchwiz can be removed.

TouchWiz is great, just wish it showed in the app drawer on NFC Task Manager so my phone would kick to the homescreen when it touches the tag by my night stand charger.

This sums up my reasons for not using TW. I definitely prefer Apex. It is very sharp and feature-filled. It's never "cartoony" or missing something that other launchers leave out.
Apex is wonderful. Looks good and has many useful features while retaining the good things of Touchwiz, but it just isn't as smooth as Samsung's launcher. My biggest gripe with TW is the inability to increase rows/columns on the homescreen. I might give stock ICS another shot though I didn't like it at all the first time I tried it.

Neither did my Verizon device, I grabbed these for a little over $5 w/ shipping for 5. Work great and are good for fiddling with http://www.buynfctags.com/nfc-tags/stickers/nfc-sticker-ntag.html
Also I just figured out that you can quick - swipe to other screens by sliding across the page indicator with TouchWiz. Pretty cool. For some reason whenever I use Apex Instagram and Seesmic force close. Weird.

To each his/her own. That's what makes android so great. Personally I don't mind TW at the moment, but I'll probably play around with other stuff once i get bored of it.
This Touchwiz is WAY better than previous versions. I actually always use a launxher, but yet to on mine. Touchwiz is plenty fast and clean to me.

Touchwiz has a lot of neat features but I don't like their design. The green toggle icons look terrible for me and its just too colorful for me taste. To each his own.

I do like TW, many cool features.
I'll be keeping TW.
I think touchwiz would be better if they had themes like aokp/cm9(tmobile theme chooser) and will definitely make it much better, sens has something like it but not enough customization, tmobile theme chooser is the best that's why I always like aokp and cm9

I like the scrolling dock so my screen doesn't look cluttered like the above. Custom home screen/app drawer transitions are really cool. Gestures to hide dock and notification bars are very nice. The ability to rotate home screens to landscape when the phone is in car cradle is essential.

Definitely. I don't like having too many icons and Widgets cluttering my screen so a scrollable dock where I put media player shortcuts on are a must. And believe it or not, that ugly manilla folder TW uses is the real reason I can't stick with it!
