Anyway to remove a widget without selecting it in Sense?
I'm using MeanROM v24 (So far I like it! Good Job Guys!) I added the Google Calendar widget. Then changed to size to take up the entire screen and HTC Sense crashed.
So now every time I try and go back to Sense it crashes while loading the screen. I'm assuming it is the widget I just added that is causing the crash. Is there a way to remove the widget without doing a reset?
You can try removing the widget's app with Titanium Backup then reinstalling without data. Should fix it.

Try clearing the data on the HTC sense app. Go to Settings, Apps, All, HTC sense and clear data. You will have to reset your widgets, but that's better than a wipe.
On a side note, I read from somewhere else that due to the 4x5 Rosie tweak that Mikey incorporated, setting a widget to fill screen in sense will do that. The above procedure I gave was the way the person fixed it if I remember right.

That did the trick.
There are two HTC Sense apps. Clearing the data from the second one (with widgets for the icon) did the trick.
Thanks for the help!
UserDave: How were you able to get into settings before sense crashed? I've been trying to help others with this and they say they cannot get into settings before sense crashes.

Easy. From the lockscreen pick a quick launch app. Then pull down the status bar and switch to the quick settings. Then pick settings. Then apps. Good luck!

So is having a full screen widget like GMail not possible in this ROM? I was getting the same Sense force close loop after I tried to add and enlarge the GMail widget. Happened two times.

Some widgets seem to show full screen by default (like the Sense widget for the calendar agenda), but I would not resize past 4x4. You could use the extra row for something else (like quick settings on each home screen or something).

Yea, I guess so. I'm thinking about giving ZR3DX a go. My biggest gripe with MeanRom so far is slow wifi and data. Not sure if it's because of the ROM or something else.

I'm on zr3dx at the moment and have no slowness on Wi-Fi or 4g. On 3g it is slow sometimes, but Sprint 3g is sometimes slow. Plus, I took the latest prl which seems to be causing issues.

Does coolexe's Rom have the 4x5 Rosie? I didn't think it did. By the way, zr3dx does not have the 4x5 tweak so that is not an issue. I thought I would miss it, but with Leedroid Tweaks built-in, I don't.

Yes, but it had been so long since I updated my prl that my data speeds were awful before the update too. That's why I took the update. I did read somewhere that with all the network changes, Sprint will be updating prls often, so maybe the next one will fix things soon.

21089 was really good for me. I was getting 1-1.5 mbps down on 3G. Now, I'm happy if I break 200 kbps and I constantly see the "1X" above my data icon.

Love the new higher resolution on the 3VO, but one thing I have noticed it seems too tall for only 4 icons top to bottom, seems like it could almost handle 5 rows tall ?
Could custom Rom allow that change ?

Not even a custom rom, Launcher-Pro ADW_Launcher etc has the ability to handle additional icon rows/cols if I remember right.

effect in what way?
the only thing is, if you choose ADW as your launcher(or probably any other launcher), when you hit the personalize button, it wont do anything. Meaning you cant change the options for lockscreen and stuff.
I dont know how much memory ADW takes up, but I see no ill effect (plus we have more memory than previous evo 4G anyway)
It doesnt slow my phone down at all (had it on evo 4G didnt slow it down either)
HOWEVER, all you have to do is change back to the sense launcher, do your changes, then set ADW back to your standard launcher. Easy
I really suggest you try it if you want to truly customize your homescreen,its literally like about 100more features to ADW than the standard sense,even with it being 3.0
When I had my Evo 4G there was something you could flash on top of a custom ROM to allow 5x4 for sense so I'm sure it'll be possible eventually.
With ADW/AWD ( always get that wrong, sorry) I had my share of problems ranging from FC's (Force Close) every so often restarting the entire launcher.
But my #1 main issue with it happened no matter what ROM i'd be using. The icon bars would randomly disappear and would not re-appear till I reboot the phone. Even when I tried to restore backups of the launcher (build in feature) it wouldnt fix it till I reboot.
Never had that with Launcher Pro, and LP seemed cleaner all in all.
Both are good dont get me wrong, but in my personal experience one certainly was better than the other.

I use LPP and love it, got the 5x4 setup going on. its great.
I agree HTC kinda messed that up. It's okay for most widgets but definitely too much space for apps. And multicon (my saving grace on the EVO) looks messed up...

Great lockscreen app here that recreates the ring lock from Sense 3.0. Can be a bit quirky at first...but seems to settle in after a bit. I couldn't imagine NOT having the sense 3.0 Lockscreen after having used it...glad to have similar on my Photon!

You should check it out again - they released a new version that fixed this for me. The new version also allows Widgets on the lockscreen now and returns you to what you were doing when it locked instead of always going to the home screen.
works great on my optimus S.
im currently selling my 3d and about to buy a "MOPHO"
optimus is a great standby phone to have. and this is a great app to remind me of my great 3d ui.

I did a quick search on the Market for Agile Lock and didn't come up with anything. Either way, Widget Locker has the Sense 3.0 lock screen as one of their default themes and it works great. I'm actually using the ICS theme now with WL
Not a big fan of Sense, but I can confirm (or add my confirmation) that the Sense 3 lock in WL works like it does in Sense 3 (I had a Sense 3 phone for 6 days).
The latest WL doesn't fix the stock lock coming up after it, and sometimes WL has to be unlocked twice. I'm not sure what's up with that, but it's a buggy app for sure. I don't blame TeslaCoil Software, though. They do good work. It's Google's fault there isn't a clear way to remove the lock screen or otherwise change it. Only hacks.

To disable the stock lock screen completely get the "No lock" from the play store. Now you can use the widget locker as your only lock screen

Because of the constant Sense reloads I downloaded and am using the Nova launcher.
While I like it a lot, the one thing I miss is the HTC photo gallery. I'm not finding anything out there that matches it. What I am looking for is a full screen widget for one of the home screens that shows all of the photos from your device just as the HTC gallery/album does. What I have seen out there either is an app you have to activated before you get to the album or a widget where you have to go in and select which photos you want to show on the screen.
Any help?
I'm more curious why you were getting sense reloads. I'm not having any issue like that at all, and haven't seen it reported on the mikmik.

Well, in general Sense has had reloading troubles across platforms for about a year or so depending on the device and the update where it seems to have started:

HTC's "community" forum had a number of threads about it which seem to have been deleted:
http://community.htc.com/na/msgs/default.aspx?MessageID=9
Specifically with the EVO LTE:

This is also a problem on the One X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1601619.html
So, while perhaps not for all, it is an issue. It may depend on what app you are leaving to get back to the home page (seems to happen every time with Chrome) or how many apps "open" or how much memory being used, or who knows... And as you can see from the threads, there have been lots of suggestions and supposed "solutions" which don't seem to solve and sure didn't for me. Got so bad that started considering taking the LTE back before the 14 days was up. But Nova solved this problem. Not only do i like the launcher, there have been no loading/reloading"resets since I installed it.
And, in any case, I find I like the NOVA launcher and plan to stick with it at least until we have fully functional stable ROMs and I am fairly certain there wont be any major OTA updates (one hearsay post I saw suggested a recent update to the International One X helped the reload issue but can't find a confirmation).
Which brings me back to the ONE thing I did like about Sense that I cant seem to replicate, a photo gallery that accesses all of your pics and displays them all the time on one of the home screens, just like the HTC Gallery does.
Anybody????
So, is this impossible to do?
I would like to know if this is at all possible.

Just a quick question here, something which takes me a while when setting up a new Rom.
Is there anything which can copy your homescreens layout and then restore it after flashing a new Rom?
Titanium puts the exact apks back in the system with the same data but it'd be nice to have something to put the folders and apps back too.
Any ideas?
Based on sense roms ICS.

I've heard doing that works well since it restores home screens, apps, and data, but can cause problems if restoring data between roms, especially between odex and deodex.
You may want to consider a different launcher like ADW EX or Apex. Both have backup and restore capabilities built in.

My apologies, maybe I should have been more precise with what I asked, I automatically assumed that everyone would do at least a superwipe prior to flashing a new Rom, you can't report issues without it.
So to reiterate, is there a way to get your home screens back the way they were after a superwipe?, Its only as it is a pain in the arse to get it back to normal again.
but ill give that a whirl anyway,
Cheers.

I understand the loyalty, especially on ICS. But I purchased ADW EX when it was 10 cents and have now been playing with Apex Launcher and they are smooth. If you miss the sense widgets, Android Pro Widgets (for agenda, friendstream, etc) and Beautiful Widgets (for the clock) are good substitutes.
Having said that, I currently run Sense too, so like I said, I understand your reluctance to switch.

Yea I hear you there, but it isn't just the widgets its the whole feel of it, even the phone book is better, on stock all you get is a line of code which would normally link to fb.
Sense integrates everything really well, and they have come on in leaps and bounds in terms of performance.
I do sometimes make the switch to the stock look but I'm always drawn back.

Not trying to convince you to change, but fyi, the launchers I mentioned still allow use of the sense apps, just not the widgets. So, the phone book, dialer, gallery, camera app, etc are still sense. They do not require you to use any stock ASOP apps.
okay i purchased nova launcher from the sale last week... and its been fighting with sense non stop, every time i leave an app/screen/etc it asks me which launcher i want sense or nova, even when i click for it to use this one all the time it still pops up after closing another app 10 minutes later.
ive tried uninstalling and re installing nova and still get this issue..
has anyone else had this sorta problem?
Set is a default when it ask again. There will be a prompt on the bottom to put a check mark on it. Then select Nova.
