Is there any way to change the Sense 4 recent apps to AOSP in Newts RC3? I know that RC Tweaks will let you do the same thing with the lockscreen. As always, thanks ahead of time.

Yeah I hope someone finds a way.
Sense 4.0 recent apps is so crap! It's way too slow. AOSP is much better

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.
To have the htc sense 3.5 notes app backwards ported over to our sense 3 leak? And also the quick launch widget? Can that be ported . also I've seen the htc sense music app converted to an installable apk. Maybe it can be done with sense 3.5notes?

I am pretty sure that the quick launch thing is baked into 3.5, so it would be hard/not possible to make it installable. But IDK about the notes
I've always wondered if it was possible to use HTC's widgets (specifically the clock and weather widgets) on CM9 or any other custom rom for that matter. I've always been limited to only using Sense custom roms because I really enjoy HTC widgets. Thanks!
Sense widgets only work on Sense ROMs
though there are similar widget skins available for Beautiful Widgets and for Fancy Widgets

Similar does not equal same though. I really like the HTC Sense clock and weather widget. Its truly beautiful. And its truly a flip clock with the flip animation. The ones from Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets don't compare imo. They don't look as good and they don't do the animations...

even more so with the Sense 4.0 version being much better than the older ones, unfortunately, it's one of the trade-offs of switching launchers, or to AOSP ROMs.

I have a hard time believing these devs can't find a way to recreate that flip clock. They can't rip that out of a sense ROM?

I believe that Sense apps and widgets are proprietary and require libraries that are only found in Sense ROMS. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Fancy widget originally did recreate HTC's flip clock but then they got a Cease and Desist letter from HTC

BUMP!
I would also love the Sense clock on an alternative launcher.... Its awesome
The problem is all sense widgets work off the sense framework and sense resources. That's what makes it difficult to port to a aosp Rom.

I was hoping to come back to this thread and see better news. So is it official? No HTC weather or clock on any other roms? HTC really messed up with the way they handle multitasking in my opinion. That is why I need to go to a different rom. I just want to take the clock and the weather with me
see the thing is. it wouldn't necessarily be all that difficult to port them over its just that they can't... their HTC's widgets not googles. there is weird licencing and such around it which is why you can't find anything that looks JUST like them in the market and why they have never been in aosp roms or in launcher other than the htc launcher that comes on htc phones.

So are you saying the creators of these roms may get sued by HTC if they included the clock and weather widget in there rom? Or are you saying it is impossible to find these widgets because they aren't a simple file or apk? Sorry if this is a basic question

both, they're APKs, but they're also 100% completely tied to HTC's Sense framework and files, so they're never gonna be found outside of a Sense ROM, and it's also why they're not available outside of the Sense launcher.
You could try:

Sense is built DEEP into the ROM. You can't just rip a piece out of it and expect it to work

I have been searching for the last 2 days for a Sense 4.0 skin for the newest leak to no avail. Does anyone know if there is one available? I really just want the new look for my clock/weather HTC widget.
Thanks
I think the sense 4 skins in bamf ICS redefined would work fine.
only problem is none of the clocks are identical to sense 4 lol they all have this ugly font and are way too squished.
the one used in CleanRom is pretty good, I think its Team Blackouts skin... not sure exactly tho

i thought no one had found out how to decompile M10s yet in sense 4
This isn't sense 4 though, this is 3.6

OP is asking about sense 4 though
He's asking about a sense 4 skin for sense 3.6. To give sense 3.6 a sense 4 appearance.
While the m10 files can't be decompiled there are custom sense 3.6 and custom sense 4 skins. They cant be customized the same way as older versions but themers have learned how to edit existing skins

Hi, I'm curious to know whether I should try an AOSP rom or a Sense 4+ rom? I want a stable rom with good features such as beats profile for all uses. I want 4G LTE to work and I want a really smooth experience. What do you guys think I should go for? I like the AOSP look on the galaxy nexus and that phone is really smooth, though the phone I tried had Jelly Bean, but still the smoothness was amazing and that is what I want.
Is there a way to get the sense 4+ rom and just get a launcher that has the aosp look?
Apex or nova launcher from the play store.
If you're looking for stability, then Sense would probably be your best bet.

Will having an ICS sense 4+ rom and apex/nova launcher bring smoothness?
I'm fairly new to roms and launchers so I don't know too much about them.

They're smooth enough for me, although I don't care too much for smoothness.
I do recommend Holo Launcher, though, because it has some jellybean features.

Sense 4 is pretty smooth and 4.1 even smoother.

Aosp is fastest smoothest, but there are minor bugs sometimes and you don't get the sense widgets if you've become accustomed to then as I have. The aosp camera is really lousy, that's main reason I don't use aosp. It's very hard to beat the sense camera with a third party app. Sense adds bulk and hogs resources. 4.0 and 4.1 are pretty smooth and you can turn off animations to make it smoother. Another thing to try is a senseless Rom that gives you the best of both worlds.

My only gripe with AOSP is that its really fast and smooth... 90% percent of the time. Sometimes it gets moody and will lag out or reboot, and it justtttt enough to be annoying. That 90% of the time though... amazing.

I just upgraded to official ICS sense 3.6 and have use both Holo and Nova launchers and I find that both the launchers don't look too much like the AOSP look. It's also not as smooth as I want it, but I wonder if that is partly because of Sense hogging up resources or something.
Does anyone know how I can get as close to the smoothness as possible of Galaxy Nexus Jelly Bean?
Thanks everyone for your advice.
Apex is good too I believe. I haven't used it for awhile though

would you guys say rooting to AOSP is the smoothest experience for the Rezound?
I find that the official ICS sense 3.5 is more smoother than gingerbread sense 3.0. I'm surprised by the smoothness. But I know it's not like the galaxy nexus jelly bean. I'm hoping to find a rom or some method to get more smoother and I prefer the look of AOSP over sense.
Thanks for everyone's thoughts.
