I'm running CM7 on my HTC Incredible and don't miss Sense at all. In fact, I like not having it. Any chance (short of CM 9) that we'll get a ROM for the Flyer that is purer than what HTC releases?
You could make one your self by taking out seperate HTC apps, such as the launcher and such. THen you could add stock replacements from another ROM

This Rom has both sense and stock honeycomb launchers. If you default to stock the ui is very much a non sense feel. Less the lock screen

Since it has been made official by Verizon not to update the Eris to Froyo I am now looking into rooting and using a custom Rom for my daughters Eris. What I need to know is are there any Roms out there that would still give you access to the HTC Sense widgets or one that allows you to still take advantage of HTC Sense the way it is currently on the phone? What can I say, she really loves there widgets and stuff!
None of the froyo roms incorporate HTC Sense. A great rom to look at is XTR SENSE. it's a 2.1 rom and is very fast and has all the glory of the HTC synch and Widgets.

Another option would be to use KaosFroyo and download beautiful widets. That can give you sense like widets.

+1, with the addition of launcher pro plus to get even more of the look. It has similar people, message widgets plus some more and you can even alter the dock to look like sense.
There is one or two devs that are working on a froyo sense rom but progress is slow going because of how much sense is integrated with the rest of the framework. If you want froyo I would use kaosfroyo or if you still want 2.1 the Ares rom works great. I would also use beautiful widgets with any of the froyo ROMs. Make sure you go through the threads and understand what you are getting into with rooting and using custom ROMs.

+1 for xtrSENSE
I chose v4.5 as my first custom rom and so far it's awesome. No problems getting it up and running, setting a stable overclock, and enjoying HTC Sense features.
Hi

Well I've made a Sense theme for CM7, so as soon as the Galaxy S2 gets CM7, which I'm sure will happen fast, you can use the theme on it... far easier than porting a sense rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11660869
edit: then again, you still won't have sense app enhancements and stuff, but something is better than nothing right?
why does everyone want this.. the phne is not even out yet.. if you really want sense go buy a htc phone ad quit whinning.
thanks for the theme,
and yeah i do have a htc phone but this samsung galaxy s 2 has the best specs than any htc phone so this phone combined with htc sense will be a beast!
Does any one think this can happen?

Sense is overrated.
Yes you should be able to use HTCs Sence UI because Exynos is using NEON whereas Tegra2 doesnt.
Depends which 1 phones 4 u supplies because there are to versions

Meh, I was never too fond of Sense. Using my friend's Inspire for a few minutes though, I found that it was nicer than all of the other stock launchers.
I didn't like not being able to edit the total number of screens though.
I too, am interested in this. It gives people options so why not port Sense over? I want to see whether they can port all those cool features over like flipping their phone over to silence a call or ringing louder in a bag.
What about sense 3.0 the sgs2 with the new sense will be amazing

No please not the disney version of sense.
Don't get me wrong, but those colors on the sensation....brrrr..... welcome to disney.
I would really love to see a Sense port but it will be very hard to port it... the only successful ports are for devices with identical specs - example Sense from Desire on Nexus One...
There was a port for the Galaxy S but it had too much things that don't work and were very hard to solve (as Sense and drivers are not open source)...
Loved sense on windows mobile especially combined with the white GTX theme on my hd2,
but can't say I'm a big fan of it on android. Weird, I know, or maybe not so weird,
since I like a minimal clean look better, not screens cluttered with widgets.
Am tied in between in getting a sensation or sgs2 hardware wise galaxy s 2 wins but HTC sense is far better than touch wiz that's why we need a port
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I'd like to see a sense port. However only for the sake of having a bigger variety of roms to flash.
I found that when I had my Inspire that Sense was way to bloated for me. I gave it a fair shot but for now I prefer TW over Sense. But AOSP > Any carrier software.
I would just stick with TouchWiz or go for AOSP if possible. Sense looks cool and all, but a port is as easy as it seems. More so, theming will be the solution for time being.

Actually this is false http://www.xda-developers.com/android/nexus-s-gets-a-desire-s-port-and-sense/
I am starting to see things pop up like Real 3D for your HTC Shooter Based ROM, but I can't see what this "shooter" ROM is??? Can someone help me out here?
P.S. I actually posted it in the correct forum
Let's see if I can try to answer this... the Shooter rom was ported from HTC Shooter by the Bamf team of devs.
One of the coolest things about it is that it has Sense 3.0, which obviously changes the current Sense UI that you see on Froyo roms. Many of the GB Roms that you see are not based off of Sense 3.0 but rather Sense 2.1 even though the devs ported some Sense 3 elements.
Originally HTC said the Bolt was not going to be updated with Sense 3. Thanks to Team Bamf, we're now able to use a full Sense 3 rom.
I am currently using the rom and really enjoy it. Battery life and speed (depending on the kernel) are the biggest pluses for me. Of course the new widgets, wallpapers, etc are also cool. Hope this answers your question to some extent.

HTC Shooter was the code name for HTC EVO 3D. Das BAMF has kindly brought over some of those nifty Sense 3.0 features to their latest GB ROM.
Sup everybody. I just did the HTC software update and now I have honeycomb 3.2. I hate the new interface and don't understand why they made such a change to it or don't give you the option to go back to the old interface.
My question is why the hell did they downgrade the sense from a 3.0 to a 1.1 on the honeycomb update? That makes no sense (pardon the pun). Anybody know why this is and is there a way to go back to gingerbread without rooting?
As far as I know Sense 3.0 was for phones running Gingerbread. Sense 1.1 was for tablets running HC. Until the unification of ICS, I guess the Sense UI had 2 development paths, phones & tablets.
Just a guess
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
I felt the same way. Rooted and downgraded back GB, prior to that I had been updated on HC for a few months. After switching back, I realized that the overall functionality of HC was much better. Using cypher custom Rom on stock kernel, plenty of free memory, quick, give it a try.
Other then that, start learning to cook up your own custom Rom, de sense it how you like. I say this cuz as you may have noticed the View's development is quite starved. We need more contributions.

Hey all,
I just wanted to gather everyones opinions on Sense 4+ vs an ONE X+ without sense. What has been your reason to desense or keep sense on your device? I'm asking for opinions here because I want to see what the main difference is between the two and I want you're input in the subject. Thanks!

ATT X+'s have no choice but to stay on sense right now
Pure Vanilla is awesome
Sense is not bad at all comparing to tochwiz skin but pure vanilla is soo fast and soo sweet..........!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe its a truly personal choice.
On my DS - I always used AOKP ROM or other AOSP based ROMs...
But as of now - I have no issues with Sense ROMs on HOX+ .... It has enough muscle and RAM to chew up whatever Sense throws at it. And you can't deny the fact that Senese IS an eyecandy .
Never faced any lag or anything in any of the Sense based ROMs I have tried on my HOX+...

I thought. Is it because the ATT version doesn't have S OFF yet? I don't mind sense. I just wanted input. I wanna try pure vanilla one day. Google nexus don't really catch my eye tho. HTC all the way!

None of the X+'s have S-OFF and it's an issue with incall routing (mic and earpiece not activating during phone call)
otherwise you guys would have had a rom months ago
not so long ago i ve found a "desensing" thing in an other HTC device's forum (here on XDA) but i can't remember the program s name nor the device s name... :/ maybe Desire S (or HD) i used twice on Sense 4+ cause it was kinda laggy, after it was prety smooth!
the program had the abbility to erase some sense or all of it and maybe a third possibility, it was blue and whit and had to be run via recovery.
if anybody knows this [email protected] name let me know!!!

I've had my One X+(Int) since January and kept it with sense until a WK ago using the venom ROM, and I must admit I was happy with it when I'd compare it to my old Desire.
There wasn't much in the way of lag and it felt snappy enough in day to day use.
However in the past WK since swapping to a CM ROM its like a new phone. Lightening quick, never a hint of lag and with proper multi tasking. I don't know if every one else had this problem but with the stock ROM and with Venom if you changed between apps with more than a minute or two time lapse the app would have to reload. Where as now, on CM, if you swap between apps they're waiting for you exactly as they were. Proper multi tasking.
I'm firmly in the vanilla android camp.

I found Sense 4+ < AOSP < Sense 5 for speed.
To add, this is my perception in everyday use, not benchmarked scientifically.
Sense 4+ was Viper and stock HTC. AOSP was CM. Sense 5 by Insertcoin.
