Do get really detailed and technical, the HTC sense launcher I'm assuming runs at a consistent 30fps (latest stock ota) let's say I swipe to the homescreen with the calendar widget it drops to 20-25fps. I know its nothing big but it makes me wonder if our phones are strong or not. When sense 3.0 custom roms came to the EVO 4g the fps would significantly drop when viewing the widget. I figured it lagged because of the og evo not so good hardware. Now that I try it on 3d its almost the same.

I don't have any lag on my calendar widget. My phone must be strong.

I have a small test for you to do with this....
go to the screen with your calender widget, and open up something like... your messaging app. open a message to x recipient, then push the back button all the way back to your original screen with your calender widget... any lag?
now do the same thing, but instead of using your back button, press the home button. any delay in responsivness?
No lag either way here

so anyone whos linked to facebook, when you get a text and you use the stock app, do you notice low crappy quality images on the lock screen? same with a call?
their actual fb images aren't this low of quality; i can see them in the people widget and the quality looks fine. however, they're much smaller and lower resolution on the lockscreen when you get a text. any thoughts on this? i just started using the stock messaging app again so i'd like to know
I have noticed. It looks horrible. I wish HTC would fix it.
Same here, they're nasty.
ok good, as long as its happening to us all. hmm, there's gotta be a way to fix that.
We can fix. We just need root
lol how? nobody fixed that on the incredible roms running sense 2.0 and above wtih the 3.0 lockscreen....it was always ****ty quality lol
I just had my girlfriend call and text me both. I am not having this issue.
And yours is linked to facebook for her, or is it her google image?

3 users of this phone I know of have this same issue... I highly doubt any one with the pictures synced with facebook are not having this issue.
My wife's picture seems OK. Can't take a screenshot of the lock screen but it looks the same as her contact picture which was synced from facebook. Bottom contact

You can take a pic of the lock screen just like you do for that. Hold home and power. It works.

Wow, last poster has some nice image quality there. Mine's got that low-quality FB imagetag, however. Would really like to make it better.
My contact photos don't look so hot on the lockscreen either.

For some reason the Rezound doesn't include the "Notes" app, which I've seen on other devices running Sense 3.5. I had this widget in a 3.5 ROM I was running on my DInc, but extracting it from that ROM and trying to install it won't work. Does the widget need to be modified to support the new screen resolution? Is there someone here who knows how to do that?
It might be a resolution issue.that or you forgot to pull a supporting file with it. If you have titanium backup try searching with the filter "note".

There are actually three apks involved.
HtcNotes.apk
HtcNotesProvider.apk
HtcRichNotesWidget3D.apk
The problem is that they fail to install normally by selecting them in a file manager.
I used Root Explorer to copy and paste them directly into the System/App folder. The notes app still did not show in the app drawer, and when I tried to add the widget to my home screen I just got a force close. I'm guessing that they need to be modified somehow to work, but I'm not a programmer so I'll leave that to someone else.
BTW I obtained the apks from the latest SVN for Prime 3D XL for the Droid Incredible. I'm wondering if there is a version from a different phone ROM that will work.
Any devs have plans to get this app working on the Rezound?
I just use SpringPad. Or try pulling the thunderbolt version?

Did anyone ever get this working? I love that widget linked to Evernote.

Those APKs will contain images for a 800x480 screen and the widgets will look strangely small on our 1280x720 screens, even if you get them to work! HTC tends to use actual-size PNGs for everything (and not 'stretch' big ones small or small ones big, like some apps/widgets do).
The Notes widget on its own is just one which scrolls through 10 pages of yellow notepad, which you can either write on or scribble on on one of your home screens. Even on the HTC Eris, when you hit 'Get More Widgets...' or whatever it was, you could get Notes. I don't know if this is the one you're referring to or not!
The HTC Evernote Widget is a little different. Someone was investigating that, but even so there surely wasn't a 1280x720 version of it, I'm sure. We'll see what happens. That one is unique in that it integrates with Evernote kind of like Friendstream integrates to Facebook!
Hope this hasn't already been asked, I searched and found nothing.
After installing HC on my View, I installed ADW launcher as I like it more then stock sense but I lose pretty much all the good stuff at the top like the google search etc, anyone know a way to get all that back while keeping ADW going?
I enclosed a screenshot of what it looks like currently.

Nobody else is using HC+ADW launcher on their View and missing the google search bar up there??
???
just put the google search widget on the screen.
Kinda sucks to have to use up screen space for the widget when the bar at the top has it built in, well, when your not using ADW launcher
Well yes, but its part of the HTC sense launcher, so not available on other launchers. At least ADW lets you resize it.
Ah ok, that makes sense then (no pun intended)
I was under the impression that the stuff at the top was part of HC not sense, thanks for the clarification.
That stuff is a part of honeycomb's launcher, and thus is a part of sense's launcher. I tried to use ADW Ex myself on the stock rom... Found it laggy and annoying that widgets didn't resize properly when autorotate was on. Switched to the desensed view rom and the stock launcher and I am much happier.
Only thing I miss from ADW is that some widgets are not scrollable, and there's not as much flexibility with screen real estate because you can't edit the grid size. Of course that's why it had problems rotating so it's a fair trade imo.

Not a fan of ADW on the Flyer. Can't get the widgets centered nor resized like I want to.

Yea the grid control is one of the things I really love about ADW and I just hate all the overhead of sense, gonna try the de-sensed rom today with the stock launcher and see how that looks/feels, thanks!
Download Lighting Launcher, free and looks to offer the same features of TSF, just found it on the market and watching the video now..... Looking great, but will report how it compares to my other launchers-nova prime, adw ex, launcher pro...
Sent from my 4G HTC Rezound
Lightning launcher is pretty plain jane and minimal features. No comparison to the others.
IMO...
Better than Launcher Pro, and I do like the single, scrollable homepage... A little quirky though if you have the homepage able to rotate according to the accelerometer in the phone because for whatever reason you can only scroll up/down in portrait mode and left/right in landscape. Adw ex and Nova are superior but for free I can't complain at all.. With a little more development and polishing will be a great option. I'm going to give it a spin for a week or so and see how the battery performance is compared to the other launchers.

Isn't it TSF Shell? $16.80 in the market.
Nevermind.
Went back to launcher pro for S&G today.... surprised by how paltry its performance is on ICS, I remember when LPP was the greatest... I had to give the app 1 star Fc's swiping between my homescreens... Smh

I'd probably user lightning launcher just for the cool falling effect of app placement. Also has anyone seen if TSF shell is working alright on our device? I've been following it for a while, but am tight on funds, so not really wanting to risk something that won't work.
Have been following TSF too, but haven't found it yet... I wouldn't side load it either... that seems like an app you would want to have your official updates pushed to you through the market because it is so new and still (hopefully) in full development stages
***to be clear this is not Lighting Launcher.... It is actually called Lighting Launcher 3, the original is soon to be depreciated from the market, and sorry for the confusion. ***
Update- I am loving the simple yet completely customizable layout ofvthis launcher, it has grown on me very quickly, and unlike anything I have used and really enjoying it... Hopefully the dev. will make some small adjustments to aid with some unique issues... for instance scrollable widgets work but they are very peculiar...

I'm stealing this from Fera, but it works here.

of course not. Why pay that much for something on your phone that you use more than any other thing???
The above poster hit it right on the head.
I have purchased spb mobile shell on both winmo and android and have used it enough to justify the purchase.
Haven't tried it on the rezound yet though...
interesting, installed mobile shell 3d on the rezound and it defaulted to tablet mode which makes the icon smaller (though usable), and gives you more area to install things.

Is it possible I could get that picture you're using for your wallpaper? I absolutely love it.
I've been trying out some of the custom roms available for my EVO and there I've been generally happy so far. One issue I'm having, though, is my Sense widgets withdrawl.
I typically only used the Clock/Weather widget and the Calendar widget. I found a couple replacements for the Clock/Weather in either HD Widgets or Beautiful Widgets (my current choice), but I have yet to find anything that resembles the Sense Calendar widget. I'm looking for something that can go 4x4 or 4x5 full screen calendar that shows the days, rather than a closeup on the agenda for a particular day.
Does anyone have a good suggestion for a replacement widget?
Thanks
Jorte and Touch Calendar are nice calendar app/widgets that I've used for years.

Pure Grid Calendar is my widget of choice for calendars. It gives more info per day than the Sense one since it shows details and not just a tick on everyday that has an event.

+1 for Jorte. But, I use its Agenda Widget and Tasks Widget to display tasks.
What's wrong with the Sense Calendar widget? Works fine on JellyBean.

Nothing wrong with it, but it can't give you this detailed view that Pure Calendar Widget can....
