The useless spinning home screen does nothing but annoy me, has anyone messed with removing this before I take the venture into my own hands?

I agree, its silly and offers no utility. I have used an alternative launcher since roughly 2 weeks after purchasing my EVO 4G in June of 2010, and have never gone back to the Sense launcher.
I like the sense launcher but that is the most useless feature they have ever used.

I haven't seen that removed by itself, but there are several ROMs eight now that have an option to disable that in the tweaks menu. I know eternity and warm both have this feature.
I would be happy with landscape

only disables it when unlocking the phone..The carousel is still spin crazy between home screen fast swiping
The carousel only spins if u go crazy fingers on it. Keep it cool hot shot.
Seriously I'd like to get rid of that and the rap around. I miss scrolling wallpapers
Cho3D
Sense sucks and is way too bloated on the stock rom
root it and run a custom ROM or run a launcher over sense and see it Sense turns off after time of non use
I love the carousel and eye candy..... to each his or her own....

I've been looking in the ROSIE.apk and SENSE.apk all day long and and found no direct way of disabling it so far. There has got to be a touch swipe/speed minimum trigger somewhere. It looks pretty integrated into the launcher, it may be alot more difficult than originally assumed.

You know it can't be just database modding, right? You have to disassemble the apk. 2 weeks ago I was on the same boat, I baksmali'd the Rosie.apk and searched through a lot of functions to find a comparison (if clause etc) to find the decision whether it should spin or slide. In the end I got lost. The hard part is we don't know the name of the function and there are no strings popping up when spinning to help us get through thousands of line of code. At some point I thought it writes the system log a record starting with DEBUG TimelineAnimation.play only when it spins but that was a deadend too. The closest I could get was to crash Sense when you begin to slide, so if I have more time soon, I might find the responsible function/decision after that point.
I too hate it . I Miss the days from my desire classic wonderful themes moving wallpapers etc..
Were talking about 3D transition effect as well right not just the carousel lol cause im talking about both...

I don't know how possible it would be to do,
but I played with some motoblur widgets on my buddy's Cliq, and now I'm jealous (i'm a social networking junkie).
Understanding that MOTOBLUR is still Android 1.5/1.6, is there any way to set up a partial MOTOBLUR integration into a ROM, or a MOTOBLUR skin that includes the widgets (and some program to log in/sign up to Motoblur?).
I found and pushed some .apk files I found around, but without any real idea what I'm doing, it was pretty close to 100% failure (with the exception of actually getting a couple of icons to show up in my app drawer - that's about it).
Is there any other interest in this? And will this be easier once the Cliq and Devour get 2.1?

I really want to see MotoBlur too! Hope you can make a motoblur rom!
if u want the skin theres a ton of ways u can go about it.
from what i kno theres about 4 home replacement apps that offer it.
one that i personally tried is for GDE..its ok,nothing to write home about. Not the skin, just the look..its a bit too kiddy for me.
as far as widgets go, check the hero forums, its been discussed.
sorry man

I tried to port 2.2 sense but I'm missing a few drivers and I have a motoblur rom sitting on a hosting site if anyone wants to take a crack at it. The radio on it doesn't work (no cell, wifi, bluetooth) so you can't get past the first screen, but touchscreen, buttons etc. all work. I ported it from a gsm rom.
Sorry about the mishap

I did it exactly as posted with those 2 colors and it worked fine...im on sc 2.9.2 if it makes a difference...doubt it does though. remember to hit end project and dont zipalign, you can hit yes or no on the next pop up i hit no though. then reboot.
i don't get a pop up after if i want to zipalign like it says and i am on sc 2.9.2 also which is weird and i can not figure out y it just keeps looping

lag issues? i'm not familiar with blade buddy or that touch screen app for galaxy.
i haven't done anything *too* intensive on the phone but i have rarely experience any type of lag on this device. the lack of lagging has been very impressive to me.
if you are on the stock ROM and kernel and still experiecing lag, based on my personal experience, you might want to look into taking it back for an exchange as it could be a hardware issue.
if you don't experience the lag on a stock ROM and kernel, it might be whatever custom ROM or kernel you're using has an issue or bug. if you're on a custom ROM/kernel, also good to check in those specific threads to see if anybody else has reported a similar issue so the dev knows to look into it and resolve.
hope that helps!
Yea when I first got the phone the xda east major laggy and that's before I rooted so I guess I need to take it back then cuz this sucks...since I rooted its been flawless but couple days later the lag would come back and now my screen is becoming unresponsive at time for like 2-3 secs!!!

yea. as a last resort test, i'd flash everything back to stock and run it for a day. see if its still laggy. if it is still laggy, find good examples of when it lags so when you take it back, you can show the person how laggy it is through the examples.
hopefully you can swap out for a device w/no issues!

lol yea, given the unknown area rooting a device currently sits from a legal standpoint, i'd avoid anything related to rooting the device as a prime example.
ideally, if you're experiencing lag on the device, it will occur frequently in common tasks like making/ending a phone call or moving between text messages or moving between menus in the settings screen, etc. it makes the best case for having an issue when you're able to demonstrate it lags during normal routine operations.
hope that helps!

hah yea. working on mainly two small apps on the market, root check and flashimagegui. pondering publishing the completely stock ROM with root, busybox and some developer tools i use on my personal device (as I did publish this on the evo and it was decently popular - might be where you saw my name). also, trying to help out (give back) in the q&a boards when i can!
if you find some good common tasks which cause the device to lag, post them back here as people with the same or similar issues might find this thread through searching and it'll give them some rough benchmark to compare against.
i've yet to see this device lag through any common tasks i run. previous android phones ive had would experience lag so this device has definitely impressed me!

probably a way, not done yet afaik. Some roms (warm, wtsb 2.0, wildshooter, maybe more) have a tweak to disable the carousel anim (on unlock only - not totally gone) which I find nice. I asked romanBB (the creator of "tweaks") if there was a way to remove it entirely, no resonse cuz he is deving for sgs2 now. It would take a smali genius to figure it out.

I don't get it, you have the exact same functionality already with the use of widgets/multiple homescreens and the standard notification bar. You can already cram pretty much anything you want in there - what's the point?

So if you don't get it we understand, no one would ever want it, right?
I've tried all posstible lockscreen substitutes there is on my Note3, but no one is even close to the intelliscreenx for the iphone.
I've tried nils, c locker and you name it but sadly they are just useless. I want to configure and actually use that large lockscreen exactly the way I want. This is close to impossible. The intelliscren guys made it right the first time. Can't believe this is not available for android.
