Hry, to desense a sense rom is it as easy as installing a launcher from the market, because i dont like htc sense launcher. And theres only 2 nonsense rom available and they are giving me bugs so maybe ill just download eternity or something and install a launcher and bam its desensed. Unless its not that easy?

Desensing a Rom is a lot more than just installing a launcher. Sense is deeply embedded into the android operating system.
Now if you just don't like the sense launcher, then installing a different launcher would probably be the easier thing to do, and probably accomplish what you want done.

Thanks, I like the sense. it's just the launcher that I wanted to remove and you have answered my question. Thanks again.

Wondering especially if folks who had been using say ADW or LauncherPro have now opted for Sense and how they like comparatively.

HTC Sense, not because I want to, but because with our phones not being rooted, and HTC Sense being so deeply integrated, it is almost pointless to run another launcher, as they both will be running at the same time no matter what you set as default.

umm..this is not true... Like any launcher, if you are not currently using Sense as your default launcher it does not run. Sure HTC still has processes and what not running on the phone. Mostly for their integrated apps. But the widgets and launcher itself are not using memory if they are not running.
sense... if I didnt want to run sense I would get the nexus... I know everyone has a preference but why get the greatest phone on earth and take away its soul?
adw ex ehh jk sense
Don't like sense since I can't hide the taskbar and dockbar. So I use adw x

I have licenses for ADW EX and Launcher Pro, and I'm sticking with Sense for now. I also have SPB launcher, and may try that one out.
The phone has just been solid and run very well with the stock browser so I figure why mess with it.
Great thing though with the quick settings in the pulldown menu you don't have to worry about finding widget replacements for the radios anymore when you switch launchers.
So far I have stuck with Sense. I have not been a fan of Sense in the past and have a paid subscription to ADW EX. In my opinion I have never used a phone that had the hardware capabilities to run Sense the way it is meant to be ran, until now. the 3DEV0 is more than capable of running it and runs it quite well actually. I may still give ADW EX a shot, but for now I am giving Sense a chance to win me over which is something it has not done yet.
Sense...for now

ADW Launcher EX. Sense's bottom bar irritates me too much, and the exceedingly tall vs. wide screen is perfect for a 4x5 layout instead of the 4x4 default.

My processes tell me differently
Started out with SPB 3D Shell, but been using sense the last day or so just to get to know it.... Pretty sweet so far. Probably bounce back and forth.
I'm using NoSense rom, LeeDroid HC 4.3.0 applyed sense stripper.
Well.. when I used Sense, I just tapped a personal setting icon on main launcher and could change apps on lockscreen at this menu. However, now, I can't find this setting menu so...how can I change apps on lockscreen?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
I don't think there is a way to access the personalize menu without the sense launcher. At least, I have looked and can not find any way to access it except the button on the launcher. This might be a bug worth reporting to Lee.
yea I believe you need to do it using the sense launcher then you can use an alternative. I wonder if you can freeze the sense launcher using titanium after you have made the change
Thanks, devator.
I'm using Golauncher HD and, now, there's no lockscreen, suddenly... I don't know what's happened So I think I sholud reinstall the rom and I'll back to Sense anyway.
And, thank you for your advice about titanum, mcord. I'll try it later

Anyone still using this? I am, but haven't seen an update in a loooong time. Is apex o trebuchet better than adw?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk
I have ADW EX but I haven't used it in months. It's easy to use and before I had the Amaze I used to use it on my previous phone. It was a nice launcher but now it seems like a hog. Wish I can get my money back..lol
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
Adw is quick and light on resources, but apex launcher pro is where its at nowadays! Plus I always felt like adw ran like crap on my HTC phones, always freezing and force closing. Go with Nova or Apex for ICS
I always use ADW before my amaze and for a little while after getting so I could use the ICS theme. Never had any problems with ADWEX, but since the ICS update I use Trebuchet just cuz I like how simple it is.

Gonna try trebuchet and apex then, with ICS it's kinda slow. When i bought the ex version i thought it would always be cool, now is just like nah.

Why not go launcher?.. Doesn't go launcher work w ics?... I've always used it and thought it was the best.
I have always been confused as to why it's almost ignored on xda... I'd love to know why!

GO and ADW (and launcherpro before dev bailed ship) are the best for GB. If you are gonna be on ics, might as well use an ics launcher.

Indeed. I tried both Apex and Trebuchet, and I can say that I preferred Apex. It's imply got more options.
Not really the answer I was hoping for.. Is go launcher not fully ICS implemented?.. are all the functions options & capabilities not working or something?
I really interested in a clear & detailed answer as im about to do the ics update soff etc

I love original GB rom from htc cuz that very stable, but homescreen is anoying i dont need 7 home screen and i cant edit.
Using infected rom on GB with port sens 3.5 is buggy with some application...
So somebody can help me? How to modding homescreen on sens 3.0, i just want 3 homescreen.
Thx
Sent from my PG86100
You cannot change the number of homescreens on the stock sense launcher. You will have to use a different launcher with more features. I personally like ADW EX (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher&hl=en), but there are free ones available in the Play Store.

That is my exact dilemma when running a GB ROM - use the sense launcher with way too many homescreens or use a different launcher without the sense widgets.

Anyone know how to turn off the sense ui while using Nova Launcher? I am not rooted as of yet and want to do this.
You'll need to root and install the cm10 ROM or install a descended ROM with the ui elements deleted
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
Yeah without root, its not possible. Even a desensed Rom isn't senseless. The ui is integrated into everything, from the dialer to the framework and every stock app in between.

The important thing is that if you haven't taken the 2.04 update yet don't take it.
But if you already took it, you will need to wait for an unlock solution so you can root.
Once you're rooted and unlocked, you can install a Rom like ViperDNA which has a desense installer option and also lets you choose what sense apps if any that you want to disable.
Any other Rom will work too, you will want to install your launcher like nova or apex and then go to settings/apps and freeze the Rosie launcher by freezing the HTC Sense apk.
After running it frozen and getting everything dialed in and working you might want to delete the sense interface (called Rosie) completely.
