OK so extreme props to guys like joelz that are actually trying to port sense 3.5 to the evo 3d... but why is there so few attempts ? the evo 4g has it and its great ... yet the evo 3d doesnt, why does it seem like all the rom attention still goes out to the evo 4g when its more than obsolete

T3project is there a way to port the widgets from the 3.5 to our 3.0 roms. I really like the mail mms market and music quick settings in the home screen of the 3.5 ROM.

its far from retarded looking the carousel runs smoother the widgets are much better and it runs great ...
Few attempts are made because Sense 3.5 is hideous looking.
Two out of place buttons on your homescreen with a bar of widgets on the left? Absolutely atrocious. It doesn't even deserve the .5 increment in build strings, as it is no way any sort of improvement over Sense 3.0. The underlining framework may indeed deserve the increase, but the appearance sure as hell doesn't. It should have been called Sense 3.0 lite for women.
If you don't like it don't use it

sense 3.5 is awesome looking man ... the two buttons is smart its way better than 3.0s bar across the bottom eating up useless space for no good reason other than to look like your typical trash smartphone ... its more unique and as for the 4 bars on the left side ... thats a widget remove it easy enough on that one ... like he said if you dont like it dont use it ... but overall it is much smoother running ... and there are no good roms for the evo 3d ... they all apear as stock or stripped down to nothing neat at all ... Joelz rom for the bliss 3.5 port will be the **** because for once that developer is at least trying something unique instead of focusing on what every other developer is doing ... basically themed 2.3.4 roms

in no way am i pointing fingers at the frevo rom but in my personal opinion i dont like it its stripped to nothingness ... it just makes it look like a samsung bas model phone ... now some people in fact alot of people love that so in no way am i judging because you have made alot of people happy with your hard work ... serious props for that ... but some people like change and some people like sense ... you seem to prefer removing all the spiffy **** in return for performance and thats understandable .. but it does show your taste in roms differs greatly and your opinion because a bit null and void in this topic because sense flat out isnt your cup of tea at all ... i do have friends who absolutly love your rom so i commend you for all the users you have made very happy you are by far a great dev, but like i said not your cup of tea here

The 4g has always had tons of dev support. And it's far from obsolete, I may have traded up to a 3D, but the 4G is still a very capable phone.
I played with a sense 3.5 rom on my friend's thunderbolt, it's smoother and snapper than sense 3.0 on my 3D. Tough to say if it's worth the effort, but it would be nice to have the option. The reasons for not developing this do make sense tho.
I think its because developers are already in too deep with their current roms, which some are still far from done. & like most of the other comments posted, its not appealing. Its not that bad looking, but none the less not the best.
If there's someone that's not on one of the already popular sense roms, they are on AOSP. There's just no focus towards 3.5 right now because other things are in demand.
The OG Evo has it because they can focus on things that hasn't been done. I mean that phone is pushing on its second year in the game, what else do you expect?

true and the og evo is still by far a bad ass phone ... main complaint being no one cares much about the evo 3d ... i mean really i have a developer model with stock 2.3.4 that hasnt been pushed by sprint yet ... im yet to see a rom that is better than my stock 2.3.4 every rom i try is a let down because some great feature just isnt there ... the stock 2.3.4 for the e3d is pretty nice and very stable ... i hope someone out there can correct me and point me to a good rom that isnt themed out to uber gayness i dont want some rom that makes my phone look like satan or an orange peel i mean really ...

Most of the devs had nothing to work with when the EVO 3D got root. That is why there are 'themed' 2.3.4 ROMs, and we still have nothing to work with that is as good as Sense. AOSP is the ONLY other alternative, which in turn birthed MIUI. Nobody would dare try and port a crappy TouchWhiz UI to the EVO 3D. What else is there?

It's okay, I'm not taking offense, and you're right--I do enjoy minimalism, but to a certain extent. You have to understand that in removing the Sense launcher and widgets, that's all that's really done. The Launcher (Rosie), while being a decent launcher for the average person, is VERY VERY limited in terms of customization. I assumed, and that was probably a bad idea considering how popular my/sense removed ROMs are in comparison to full Sense, that more people would feel the same. You can achieve almost identically what Sense has from a Senseless ROM with a bit of time and effort. LauncherPro easily outclasses HTC's Launcher in terms of customization, performance, and looks. You can easily skin just about any launcher to look like Sense if you really wanted to. The only thing HTC has going for its launcher is its widgets, which unfortunately aren't able to be used with other launchers. Other than that, I truly don't see the appeal so many people have with sticking to what HTC thinks you need to stick to with its Launcher. There are countless mods that try and improve upon it, but in the end it's still limited. So, that says to me that I'm the kind of person who enjoys as little constraints in customizing my phone as possible.
htc widgets
thats super lame that the htc widgets cant be used elsewhere because your right they are really nice

It's all good man, we like what we like. I didn't really expect too many to jump on it. I mainly created it for myself, but figured the community could maybe benefit from it.
Boot Manager allows me to try out pretty much any ROM now a days without having to do anything to mine, so I'm good to go when I need to see what other people have accomplished, which still do this day, isn't very much in comparison to mine. Good thing about these Sense ROMs is that anything you want from one can easily be put into another.

Loving my new phone! It's wicked fast and it's just plain badass. I've removed what ever bloatware I could, but in all honesty I wish I could remove Sense and go to CM on this phone I can only imagine how fast it's going to be! Sadly it'll probably be a long time before things like 3D get ported into CM (WiMax, anyone?) but I think the wait till definitely be worth it.
This phone is fast, but you have to admit, there is A LOT of crap on it, and most of it is HTC related. Don't get me wrong, it all works, but I'm a simpleton in that sense (no pun intended).
I think it it funny that people only care about how fast there phone moves. The EVO 3d moves fast enough to do anything you want to do without a hiccup and has the wonderful overlay of Sense.
What else does CM7 give you? I ran it on my EVO and it is not like it will make your EVO 3d a step up from what it is now. It just brings you back to basics. If it is basics that you want, why not just buy a Nexus 4G. I am sure CM7 runs pretty fast on that.
Maybe when we have CM8 with ice cream it might be worth moving to as it hopefully boosts some new features for us and the CM team will probably have it ported before HTC gives us an update for it.
Right now I say Sense 3.0 ftw!
Right on. I'm a hugggggggeeee cm7 fan for my evo 4g but this 3d has wings.... EVEN with sense going.

As is common practice.. the more power the device has, the more the devs use.
Sense 3.0 is a HORRIBLE display of overindulgence. I know people will like it, and that is all well and good. Not everyone needs all that extra RAM and storage the phone came with (to cover for Sense). But, I can't wait to get rid of Sense. I don't use it, except for the integration that I can't disable.
I can't wait until we get optimized builds of the stock rom. Maybe a little themeing too.

Amen. This. It is pretty, but most of that 'pretty' is, well, pretty functionless...and that out of 1024mb of RAM I have ~225mb free with nearly nothing going on? Sad.
Sure, sense is sleek...kinda...but it's a bloated sloppy hog of a shell/ui/launcher. LP/ADW rock ass on this phone, I just wish I could ditch all of the pointless cruft Sense drags along....not to mention some of the more advanced tweaking the custom AOSP roms bring to the table, esp regarding performance and battery life.
I am pretty much all about change. Its fun to see different looks on the phone, that's why CM7 was soo refreshing for my OG EVO. Then I bought the Nexus S and loved the pure google experience, and now I am appreciating the Sense 3.0.
There is definitely quite a bit going on with this sense 3.0...but it is hard to imagine it ever having issues as far as performance is concerned. So I am in no rush whatsoever for CM to make it's way on the EVO3D.
Cm is awesome. But just wait my friends. Once we get root, we will get this baby optimized, clean out the crap on here and then she will really take off. Also, getting the sensation and kingdom ports on here will be cool.
I know virus is already looking at stripping out the sense to give it the turbo boost most are looking for...

I love CM. The latest updates as fast as possible plus custom tweaks that make the phone that much more easy and usable. Sense isn't too bad just yet as it's still new again to me, but things like the unlock/answer screen when a call comes in and the god awful notification bar and curtain make me hate it. Can't wait for CM.

I'm indifferent about the notification bar/curtain... It's not bad.... I like the CM styling better, but only slightly.
I switched to this bad boy from a Hero running AOSP Froyo, and I realized how much I missed sense. On the hero it was terrible, when it couldn't run anything, but with this phone I love it. So intuitive, and the music player and everything is great, I sure don't see myself dumping sense 3.0
Don't understand why you would buy an HTC phone to throw out Sense and go with generic CM ?
If I was gonna run CM 7.1, for sire would not buy an HTC phone, these phones are so thick and bulky and poor battery life. Even with custom kernels and different roms its better, but I would get a Galaxy S 2 a milion years over the EVO-3D for CM 7.1
I buy the EVO for Sense #1, and wait for the best Sense based Rom made by Myn. It is way better than CM.

Those features come at a price, one that I'd rather not pay. I'm glad you enjoy em, I just can't wait to shed em.
I think tried CM7 and I enjoyed it but I can't wait for MIUI to make it or even MYN and Evoking to put their touch to it. That is definitely worth the wait.

Hello there!! I wanted to make this poll to see what the fellow users here in the Amaze forums prefer, Sense or AOSP.
On one hand, we have the original, pure, vanilla android interface. Simple, nothing so complicated and still, yet to come the Amaze, "the pure Google experience". There is no rom that is FULLY stock, with the exception of BeastMOD and SenseLess which are almost de-sensed completely.
And on the other, we have the long running Sense, courtesy of HTC. With lots of eye candy, lots of widgets, and an obsession with weather, Sense is very diverse and customizable. One of the latest versions of it, 3.0, is included with the Amaze, and most of the custom roms for it are Sense.
Many people, love sense, others hate it and prefer AOSP over it. So, its simple, choose your preferred interface, and leave a comment of you want xD

You know what I find is funny?
For devices like G1, MyTouch even Vibrant a bunch of people really want Sense.
Now that you have a device that has Sense out of the box nobody seems to want it.
Here's what I have to say about it: If you don't want it, don't buy it. I happen to be a large fan of the Sense UI. I don't care about how "bloated" it feels or anything like that.
I used to make themes for the devices that didn't have Sense to at least give it a "Sense" look and feel. People went out of their way to edit the Sense UI apps just to make them available for devices that don't come with it.
So now that we seem to have the perfect device to run Sense... you all want to get rid of it?
I don't get it. If you don't like Sense then why by a phone with it??? Someone please explain that to me.

Very valid point,
here's my view
I happen to like HTC since i loved my nexus one, and I bought this phone mainly for it's camera, nothing else is like it on T-mobile right now. I neither hate fan nor like it there are parts of it I like and parts I don't. I bought the SGSII first and hated it, I hated the screen resolution and how big it was...this phone just felt good...Sometimes even if you don't like sense, there are no other options, every individual wants something different and not all cellphones deliver everything in one package. I was initially waiting for the galaxy nexus and just got tired of waiting. I hated the pentile screen when I looked at it in the store (even If I ordered over seas) NO dedicated camera button, this is what I really wanted. I also wanted a 720p screen like the rezound, If I could I would get the rezound, but it doesn't have dedicated camera buttons and I want that. it has the same exact camera as the amaze. a 720p screen on a 4.3 inch screen which gives better dpi than the retina display...But I have no choice, I'm not going to pay 180 monthly just to get that phone...right now I pay 60 bucks on a shared plan and get unlimited everything with 5 gigs of unthrotled data. I also like this about android and like things about the iphone, I can't have it all in one package.
I use locker widget, and adw launcher and I'm happy with it...I do not hate the sense launcher, or the lockscreen, I just prefer my own customization. I love what they've done with their camera app. I like their calendar application. I like their parts of their contact and dialer app and hate parts of it.
I talk too much!!!

Peoples always wanted what they don't/can't have. Simple
I myself love to have a Sense Rom mainly due to its lock screen and weather widget and a few more stuff but also running ADW so I can switching back and forth every other week or so
Personally I think Sense based Rom give me more options. If tired of looking at Sense, switch to other launcher and apps or vice versa whereas ASOP based wouldn't let me have Sense stuff if I so desired
Just because a phone comes with Sense doesn't mean it's the main attraction of the device. Did people buy the Samsung Galaxy S2 for TouchWiz? I sure hope not. There are other features of a product that convince people to purchase it. Specs, look and feel, cost-efficiency, and availability all factor in and affect this. The Amaze happens to feel like a really premium product with high end specs to boast. It also happens to come with Sense.
I don't hate Sense, but I just find it to be too non-customizable and would always use a third party launcher like ADW Launcher or Go Launcher anyway, so Sense means little to me.

I sense garbage.
This is my second htc sense phone.
You like sense until you try something else for a while.. Then you can't stand it.
We all have our own opinions.. It's fine, but for me it's a nice eye candy developed system that I can not stand and can't wait for cm7, 9 or something else.
Also a reason why I have adw launcher.
Talking of CM I kinda missed it alot.
Many great features: crt built-in, toggle widgets on top of pull-down notification panel, brightness adjust by sliding the status bar ect ... And separate lock screen wallpaper
Too many customization Sense lack
I switched back to sense for the beats audio

No problem.
I like sense, I like AOSP, just depends on how I feel that day. With all the themes, Roms, tweaks and different launchers, we can pretty much do what we prefer on any given day. I still have a cliq lol running 2.3.4 gingerbread aosp, a HD2 running Sergios core cell rom, and my "NEW" Amaze stock, patiently waiting for new developement.
Sense has great eye-candy and great integrated apps which is my kind of thing. like the built in task manager, built in social media, built in music player. its all better than stock IMO. Stock gets boring to me for some reason
I personally have no problem with sense, it's just the size, I like using my system partition for apps, but I do like the facebook and tight music control integration!

lol I had a HD2 for well over a year before getting my amaze I have flashed pretty much everything under the sun, and I still prefer sense based roms.
Hey everyone, I wanted to know your guys' opinion on which interface you like more? Do you prefer Sense or AOKP/Cyanogenmod 9 and why?
oh and also, which one has better battery life?
The day cm9 works fine on this phone is the last day I ever use sense in my whole life.
typically for me (especially now that sense is actually decent) i stay with sense until a really nice stock rom comes out then go to that and after a few months go back to sense and so on and so ........................ect.
I have no problem with Sense, but always end up running CM. There are just too many tweaks I want to make to my phone that Sense ROM's never seem to bake in. With Sense ROM's I'm usually going "crap I wish I could do that!" With CM it's "Sweet! I can do that!"
I think i like sense more. It is more refined. I like the look of aosp ics though. I'm really hoping a nice blue sense theme is released sometime.
The hardware is good enough that i do not believe one will perform better than the other like in the past.
The fact that the notification light doesn't time out on stock draws me to it though. It is my biggest complaint about sense.
When CM9/AOKP becomes more bug free, I'll try it out. I used CM7 a ton on my OG and AOKP quite a bit on my 3D.
Until then, I'm not even rooting my phone. I see no reason to as of yet.

Like yea cm is cool but all i really like from it is the pulldown LOL. like all the themeing and fastness and no barriers on bluetooth is cool and all but you really have to download a lot of stuff if youre a widget heavy person to get it the way you want. and on top of that it looks so flat n boring. With sense 4, they did a reallly good job on visuals

oK we all know that we've been dying for cm9-10 n **** right? RIGHT. but ive been on it as a daily for 2 days or so and i just cant stop missing how cool n useful my sense 4 layout was cause of all those widgets n the 3d n stuff it has. Like yea cm is cool but all i really like from it is the pulldown LOL. like all the themeing and fastness and no barriers on bluetooth is cool and all but you really have to download a lot of stuff if youre a widget heavy person to get it the way you want. and on top of that it looks so flat n boring. With sense 4, they did a reallly good job on visuals
what about you guys which would you prefer n why?

I actually like the stock look of CM. I feel like Sense is trying to do too much with the way it looks. Also I find that I get better battery life without Sense running on my phones. Sure Sense has some useful features that CM could use, but I feel like I'm not missing much with CM.
Please keep all question related threads in the Q&A section. Thank you.

I've been on both types of roms. I just wanted to get an idea on what people prefer and WHY they prefer it.
Give me your opinions and reasons please! Very curious!
Thanks in advance.

I've always liked Sense more. For me it just feels complete, as with the apps/widgets, which give a better appearance; skins, icons, rosie, quick settings, pretty much everything looks better. Then there's the integration with social networks, like facebook and twitter, which is awesome since I use both. Other apps perform better, especially the camera and keyboard. AOSP just feels too bare and ugly for me to ever wanna run on my phone. Besides, if I wanted Sense removed, I wouldn't have even went for an HTC phone in the first place.
I prefer AOSP from a speed and cleanness factor, but missing functionality like Bluetooth calling always puts me back onto Sense ROMs (though my daily is SlimKANG - a nearly "Senseless" Sense ROM).
I like both however I'm on aosp right now because I like to use my wiimote as a controller and also I'm on jb. When I get a nexus 7 I'll probably go back to full sense though.

Sense because of the camera
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I prefer Sense because of the camera and bluetooth. I've play around with AOSP and I have heard that it is easy to tweak and theme, but I don't know how to set it up to my liking.

AOKP has the most options in AOSP if you want to mess with it some more. Also you can download themes from the Play Store.
Until Sense 4+ I would've said hands down, AOSP all day. Sense 4+ though is in my experience comparable to AOSP, but in many cases actually offers more smoothness(this pertains only to ICS AOSP though, as JB AOSP smooths EVERYTHING out). I don't think Sense is necessarily prettier than AOSP, but they are pretty in different ways. Sense to me is like the Astin Martin, whereas AOSP is like the 1968 Eleanor. Sense definitely wins the camera category hands down, as well as music playing, but I think anymore the call quality rivals each other(granted I don't actually call that much). When it comes to the little things, like the app drawer or switching between menus and such AOSP tends to be quicker. All in all... it's just up to how I'm feeling that particular day I suppose. /rant
You just can't beat CM9's speed and response in my opinion.
I appreciate all of your inputs. I have tried to like AOSP, but it just doesn't cut it on the rezzy for some reason. I feel so much more complete with a sense rom. I feel like this phone was built fully for sense (I know it was), but the potential is there for AOSP. I always find myself going back to sense. Mainly due to the camera!
I enjoy tinkering with AOSP from time to time, but I just love me some sense. With development booming on the rez like it has been lately, I've been pretty happy and content with sense and especially sense 4, a lot of that is do to the custom kernels that I've been lucky enough to run on my phone in beast mode.

I agree. I'm ways shocked to hear people say bad things about sense...but the resound is my first HTC phone and ive had custom roms nearly the entire time I've owned it.
I absolutely love the sense keyboard. I have the hardest time going back to aosp keyboard now. Camera is nice. Email is nice too. And I just like the feel of sense, the theming
Rezound, s-off, loving it.
Sense for me is too much.... everything is too big and it reminds me of bubbles when I look at it. I like the slim lines and small icons in aosp but the biggest thing that keeps me from sense is the settings app..... UGLY

I agree. Sense seems like my phone thinks I am 5 years old so everything has to be colorful and pretty.

I completely agree with this. I don't use social networks at all, so this functionality is lost on me. Sense is great for somebody that wants their phone to just work (especially if that person is a social network junkie like my wife). I like to tinker, so that's the reason that I like AOSP. It's a lot easier to tinker with AOSP than it is Sense. Sense = gaudy and indulgent. AOSP = streamlined and elegant.

I am a big tinkerer so I can see what you mean by appreciating the ease of aosp. However, I don't mind a little challenge and since s-off, I haven't had any issues with rezound mods.
I'm don't use social networking at all but there are definitely some things I prefer about sense.
Anyone who claims there is absolutely nothing.better about sense or aosp is lying to themself. Reminds me of an apple fanboy who thinks their iPhone does everything better than any android.
Rezound, s-off, loving it.
I just got back on sense and for some reason it feels like its missing something I can't quite figure out.

Customizability.

Maybe, it really isnt as customizable as AOSP and what is customizable you dont want to change because then it will compromise the whole sense feel.
