I just picked up the Wifi Flyer from Best Buy. I have never been too crazy about Sense. I use Go Launcher on my Inspire but wasn't sure if it was truly compatible for the Flyer (even though it's not running HC).
Is GO good to run on the Flyer or does anyone have any other suggestions?
All launchers work, unless specifically stated by the author.
Try launcher pro. It's really light and snappy.
Stupid question perhaps, but is it possible to have a launcher with HTC widgets? Or, perhaps a hacked sense? I'm new to the whole sense thing...

Nope...sense has custom stuff in it that the launchers outside cannot access.

Gocha. Thanks.
However, is there a Sense-like rom with better performance?

LauncherPro Plus has Twitter/Facebook/Friendstream/Calendar widgets and you can apply Sense skins on these widgets.
IMO the LauncherPro widgets works better than the Sense widgets, but I'm actually contempt with Sense on Flyer so fat.
Check VTL.Launcher.
This Launcher is designed with landscape tablets in mind! (that's not to say it doesn't also function well in portrait mode..... as it does)
First off this launcher is based on ADW.Launcher's Source code so I would like to thank anderweb for all the ground work.

Hmm, it's been a while since I've used LP. The paid version was good but it made my droid lag so I had to go to ADWpro. However, I'll give it a try on the Flyer. thanks.

Sorry, thought this would line up under the comment I was addressing. This is a link to the FlyHigh ROM for the Flyer that is Sense based and from what I can tell so far is pretty fast and stable.

Hi mike, can you share your expeience on ADW or Launcherpro?
Does the font on ADW bigger than sense? Smoother? Any screenshot to share?
Did you use clock from Fancy widget? Thanks.
I can't talk about adw, but I am using launcher pro on mine. So far I'm really loving it. It's just as fast and responsive as sense if not more so. It makes better use of the screen with smaller icons, and more compact layout in the app drawer. On top of that, the pen still works in the few places that it worked before (albeit there are only few places that it does work -_-)
There is little difference between adw and launcher pro on my book so I'd expect them to perform similarly on the flyer as well, bit if nobody has tried by tomorrow I'll install it and give it a try.

I tried the LP on my HD2_SD_Android with sense build, there is no performance different on LP with CM build. But those apps that from sense (eg SMS) with small font will still be in small font. I was hoping it will change the font size when in LP but it actaully doesn't.

This is my concern as well and have cause me to think twice on buying this Flyer.
Can you help confirm/share whether is there any effect/change after using the Spare part and change the LCD density? I am hoping and looking forward the customer ROM to replace Sense with CM7.

Sorry mate
Neither I use Spare part nor change the LCD density because I havent rooted my Flyer
(I understand that the LCD density can be changed via build.prop, but you will need Root Explorer, and to use Root Explorer, you need to root it, unless there is other way to do that)

Thanks for the advise, I will continue to hold my purchase decision until it get rooted. If not, I may switch to Samsung 8.9" when launch, or even Huawei Mediapad (the spec is very attractive. 7", 1.2GHz DC...) or may be SGT 7" (I played it at one of the shop yesterday and kind of like it though the speed doesn't seem to meeting 1GHz expectation but good enough and I read that this is 2nd genration of 7" SGT)
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.

Absolutely not. Its a vital part of the framework. Just install Launcher Pro over it, and when you hit the Home button, select it as the default launcher.

Thanks mate, perfect, will give it a go
Would doing this mod essentially make the phone faster?
Edit: just tried it and didn't really make much of a difference in speed for me. It wasn't noticeable atleast. It seems to just remove sense as a launcher but everything sense is still intact. If you want comeplete senseless your best bet is any asop rom like miui or cm7 alpha.
Removing Sense is highly inadvisable. And a launcher is pretty much just a skin, so sense will still run. Not 100% about this, but uninstalling sense MAY mess with your ability to recover back to it should you choose to unroot. Definitely take the advice above, and try flashing an aosp ROM. They are much quicker anyway
Thanks for your advise guys, unfortunately I am gsm, so as far as I know, there is no aosp ROM available yet, ill just stick with it for now until. IM just used to cyanogenmod with other devices, IM sure our day will come for the gsm guys! Just find sense, abit bulky, and sluggish at times. Also everything that sense provides can be found in apps, on the market (beautiful widgets, widget locker......) cheers

this is untrue. you cannot remove sense totally, however, you can remove many many many of the components associated with it without much problem at all. this also does not affect returning to stock in any way whatsoever.

This also has the issue where you have to unlock to answer a call. I guess if it were a tablet but being it's a phone that would annoy me having to do that every time get a call.

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.

I'm not really sure what the problem is but one thing that helped me a fair amount is flashing the Adreno ICS drivers through recovery, smoothed things up somewhat. But even after doing that there is still some choppines to the launchers and I'm not sure why.

Apex user here..smooth as butter, especially with the animations sped up. Like any launcher, it does need to work itself into your memory to smooth out its performance, so initial performance after boot tends to be slightly choppy and then my lag goes away after some usage.

a lot of the times, the sense UI is still running behind the third party launcher. Best thing to do is when you find a ui you like. delete rosie.apk. downside you will loose the sense widgets and lockscreen. if you go this route, it be best to try an AOSP rom.

ok so to unlock you go to http://htcdev.com/ and look for the rezound unlock.
they have a complete guide on how to do it with pictures.
after that is done you will need to load a custom recovery, amon ra 3.15 is great.
after that you just flash a rom of your choice.

I use ADW EX on ICS. Its neither slow, nor buggy.

You can also run a de-Sensed ROM like NeoMax or Ineff Deus. Ineff Deus isn't advertised as de-Sensed but you can during the install process. Both are extremely solid ROMs.

Once you unlock and load up a custom recovery (amon ra), you can go one of two ways: root the stock rom manually. Or the recommended method: install a ROM with root already installed.
There are some stock ROMs with root, or if you're going for performance, you'll want to find a good custom rom. Check out the development forum for one you might like to try. You'll want to S-Off, it's not required but it will make rom flashing significantly less complicated. (it seems intimidating, but it's actually pretty easy.)
