Is it just me or does anyone else miss sense UI yet

Not at all
I kind of do. But I understood that going from HTC to Samsung would (IMNSHO) be a downgrade in the user experience.
The screen size & battery life along with CM/AOSP/AOKP is a good decision for myself.

I had HTC phones exclusively for ever (with Windows), and would love to try them out again, but Samsung phones are pretty cutting edge. Hope they come out with something compelling on AT&T in the future...

On wm was the only time I liked it cause it help hide that hideous 6.1
Yea, the windows GUI was hideous. I remember running android on my Tilt2 from the SD card. Didn't run great, but it made the decision to just get an Android phone when they went to Windows 7 a no-brainer!
That, and when I saw the Dell Streak with a 5 inch screen, I was in love... :thumbup:

I always loved the SENSE UI and yes i do miss it a lot. it would be nice to have Sense UI on our Note but it might become unusable b/c note is kinda laggy right now and with Sense UI Force close or freeze all the time...
I had HTC HD2, HTC SENSATION 4g and Now a friend of mine gave me his htc evo 3d. i use it as a secondary phone i have no service on it but it is connected to wifi to make/receive calls/sms. there are rumors that HTC is making a 5" screen phone for verizon and if that comes out i might switch to Verizon even though i hate them.

God I hated Sense on my Evo 3d. No copy and paste from the dialer to start. Remove sense (install a clean rom) and Caller ID breaks. Plus a whole bunch of other small annoyances that add up to a whole lot of frustration. Maybe the new version is better but I'll never go back to Sense.
Sense ui.....=HTC bloat.....imho
Loved the 4 htc devices I have used, but they sure ran nice on CM....g
I think htc lost their way. I loved sense on wm6.5 on my hd2, especiLly the hacked ROMs that increased the icons. I preferred that GUI to their android GUI (which was based on their wm GUI originally). I have most of myold devices (all the way back to a Psion Orhamiser!) And its clear HTC once had really cool devices. Now they are ME TOO. No real differentiation. Samsung is winning at the moment.
But watch out for ASUS. They will appear from nowhere in the mobile market with outstanding devices (much like they have in the notebook market and now the Microst tablet).

the only thing I miss from the sense is the camera feature that you could make funny faces while taking the picture. other than that I am totally happy with the samsung version of android. I recently switched to jelly bean and I like it even more.
I've always liked it too but it's true it's become way too bloated after like sense 2.0

So phone season's coming around and we have a good idea of the phones that will come to sprint. I'm wondering what phones you would get if/when you dump the Evo 3D.
-Galaxy Nexus
-SGSIII
-HTC OneX
If your are going to get a different phone, please tell us which it is in the comments.
Personally, I'd want the Galaxy SIII, but I've had nothing but good experiences with HTC (heh, misspelled THC the first time) so I might go for the OneX. Plus, a lot about the OneX seems pretty good.

If Apple wasn't so obsessed with having their OS all over their products, and the iPhone also had an android version, I would be all over that.
I think iOS is smooth and overall great, but it just feels too limited for me to use. Even after jailbreaking, you still feel like the whole OS is just an app drawer.
Just want something different been with HTC for awhile. It's not like I don't wait for official updates anyway. I feel like sense is always the same just more eye candy added in different versions

Think I'm going to go with the gnex. I'm very interested in the SIII, but my upgrade is up in June and I highly doubt Sprint will have it ready to go around then
right now its looking like the one x for me......unless I get wind if another powerhouse coming. One x rumored June so I'm going with the best available at that time so one x it is.
I can't really see me going Samsung so sgs3 is probably not an option. I'm liking the s4 specs and camera on the one x is a huge improvement. I see dev being great on that one.

I like spb shell launcher....
imo, nothing compares to good ol' stock android. I'm just a little jealous that the s3 already gets official CM9 nightly builds.
With that being said. That would be the only reason I get a s3.

For the international version correct? If you take a look at the American section for the SIII...it's rather dead.
I went in today to go play with the phone, and personally I wasn't a fan. For me and my uses it basically just came down to looks, and HTC EVO 4G LTE wins in that department for me. I also wasn't a fan of the home button, overall the LTE just felt much nicer in my hands, it has this nice heft that feels just right. It wasn't too heavy, but not so light I feel like I could break it, the SIII was lacking that.
Personally I've thought HTC phones have always had nice development, so I'm not too worried. The SIII would be rooted immediately for me to get rid of touchwiz, and switch to CM9, and I've tired of the stock android look, sense 4.0 is a nice visual change and I'm loving it. Touchwiz may be packed full of features (Some of those features can be ported to HTC, Ex: I had S-voice on my Sensation.)...but its ugly as sin. Then again Samsung could surprise us with a new version soon, because lets be honest, Sense 3.6 was ugly as sin too. :good:
In the end it all comes down to personal opinion. Development will probably be about even, I mean honestly, how many of the ROMs are you actually going to use?
They also have more development because they have source code and we don't ... Build quality on this phone ****s on Samsung

Yea must not be talking about dev support for the at&t S3. I just rooted my buddies today, and there is next to nothing available for it. It's still very early tho.
The Evo lte does appear to be slower than I thought on development.. But that's due to a number of things.
Both nice phones, but I have a thing for htc, even tho they are starting to slack big time on updates/source codes/support

On any HTC forum(Inc, Rezound, Inc 4g, etc.) all I hear is how much Samsung's Touchwiz is terrible and one of the worst UI's. I'd like to hear what the other side of the fence has to say. The only smartphones I've owned are HTC phone's, original Incredible and now Rezound.
I decided to snag up this bad boy to keep my unlimited data with a subsidized upgrade. The question is which do you think is better. I've always liked Sense and love their Widgets like the weather, clock, calendar, calculator. I like the overall feel of Sense, too. I like AOSP and am aware of the RIL issue that faces it, possibly all to well because of the whole Rezound and Protekk issue. If the SGSIII does get AOSP, I will probably most likely stay with this. That's probably what got me liking Sense so much because I had CM7 forever on my Incredible.
I'm faced with the dilemma of either keeping my Rezound or SGSIII and selling the opposite. If I were to keep the Rezound, I would prefer to sell the SIII BNIB, but I know it'll be hard to not take a peak, none the less activate it and play around with it.
So what are your thoughts on both UI's?
Is just pwrsonnal preferences,I like touchwiz features like percentage and notification toggles, but sense 4.0 does look better then the new touchwiz the looks too Much like gingerbread

Coming from an HTC Sensation, in can honestly say that HTC has the better Widgets but Touchwiz Nature UX has a better overall feel. HTC Sense feel bloated by all the unnecessary "eye candy".

Sense is terrible and one of the worst UIs.
J/k
Being on an incredible myself for so long I can say that I never truly liked sense because of how laggy the launcher was. I prefer perfectly smooth launchers and Samsung always seems to have that down (except for the gimped AT&T note). This phone is definitely no exception.
However, I love the look of sense 4.0 and wish Verizon had a One X variant. I like how HTC allows their customers to unlock their phones while Samsung doesn't seem to care. Then again I remember reading about how the AT&T One X was locked down, yet the Droid Incredible 4G LTE is easily unlockable. Difficult to say who is the most dev friendly with all these inconsistencies.
So basically I like Touchwiz more than Sense 1-3.5, but I like Sense 4 more than Touchwiz.

I own a s3, nexus s 4g, and a evo shift 4g......also have a close friend with the evo 3d.Now sense looks beautiful, pure google was nice with the quick updates, but TW by far is the best experience i've had..Alot of features such as lockscreen weather, battery percent, quad lockscreen shortcuts, etc. are all features we were asking devs. to incorporate in their roms all come stock in tw.Also all the motion options and voice controls are hard to let go.....

Common opinion is that Sense is beautiful but bloated. This new TouchWiz with all S-apps became bloated too. But at least TW doesn't suffer from killing background apps.
I'm looking for some opinions and comments here...
I thought I might return this phone to Radio Shack because I wasn't sure if it would get JB. But after spending more time with it, I don't care if it doesn't get it--wow! I was amazed by the audio and video as it was. But today I spent some time with the Developer Options. Except for overclocking the phone, I can't see a reason to root and install CM* or anything else. There's so much in it now! There's no way I'm going to get this out of an iPhone. My coworker just stares at it and says, "two more months...".
So that said, are folks still looking to install CM on this phone? What else would you get out of CM or another ROM that you're not getting from what the phone has now?
Thanks.
As far as getting aosp... Better performance, better battery life, no sense.

Exactly, there's a difference between vanilla JB and JB with a Sense overlay. People aren't seemingly seeing the difference.
And I can live without image sense. As long as the camera can still take the same quality pictures, I'm game for CM10 or CM9. Or AOKP.
OP, I've flashed CM9 and the speed difference hurts my head. It proves that Sense is slowing down this phone. Definitely looking forward to seeing what this phone can really do!
That said, I agree that the phone is terrific as is! Many will be plenty happy without custom ROMs. But many, including myself, are anxious to push this thing to the limits and AOSP will likely do that, performance-wise. I can't wait!

Ok, i would recognize in a hot second it wasnt sense if i put a sense clock weather widgit on my homescreen. For 1, the status bar, the standing battery is ugly imo, the data bars...all of it up top is not pretty to me. The dock on the bottom, isnt my style, when you open the messaging app, sense is just so much more sexy, and elegent to me, even the people app, i feel the same way about. But they are right, a vanilla non sense rom of course will b smoother, and faster, and less battery draining. But im willing to take a slight hit on those for the looks of sense. I just love it.....and always have.

After selling my Amaze and having the S3 for about a month. I am starting to miss my amaze. Here are the reasons why:
I miss the fact that it was more sturdy. I dropped my Amaze many times, and never cracked the screen, but I dropped the S3 once, and the screen cracked.
Also even if I did crack the amaze screen, It would only have to spend $70-100 to fix it (compared to $250-300 on the S3).
Comparing the speed, the S3 is faster, but it's not major fast over the amaze. I think the Amaze was just enough for me as speed.
The amaze is a rare phone, but I like that. I like to be different from everyone else. But it's hard to be different when everyone and their mother (literally) has an S3. I'm just getting tired of looking at them. I like having a iPhone if you have an S3.
Last and not least...The Camera. Believe it or not, the Amaze camera is still a tad better than the S3s , and I miss my dedicated camera buttons.
I also saw yesterday that CM10 is coming along great, and the drivers have just been released. So I am going to give my S3 to my girlfriend for her Amaze (as an early birthday gift). I actually cannot wait to come back into the Amaze development. I kinda miss HTC sense, and HBoot lol
I clicked the thanks button by mistake but i got to say i was gonna switch to an s3 and ill still get it or wait for the next galaxy s or a better htc phone... I also think that the s3 camera is still a little lower than the amazes since i compared it to my brothers s3 but i got to say the screen looked great and size felt good on my hand....
Over all the amaze was the first big thing then they killed it with the crappy htc one s for us T-Mobile users they shouldve made it more similar to the one x
"HTC Amaze - Nightmare Sense 1.6"
"HTC Sensation - MIUI"
"LG G2x - Stock and overclocked"
"LG Thrill - Slim Stock Rom"
I was gonna switch to the nexus 4 , but the default launcher/out of the box is too boring for me... I prefer Sense, TouchWiz, stuff like that.

And did you know that they took the HTC Amaze off of the T-mobile web-site o:

You are aware that there are launchers and CM themes that recreate the experience, right? Also, look into how to sort of recreate the experience yourself or make the screen look like what you want.
I'M OFFICALLY BACK!! I just score a Perfect Condition Amaze for $100 (it was a insurance replacement). I bought it with no battery or cover. I took my girlfriend's extra battery she had, and I just ordered a white battery cover for $7 off ebay (surprised they are so cheap, due to all those antennas arrays in there). So I should hopefully be fully up and running by Thrusday. Now I am going to sell my S3 with a cracked screen, and the other parts I have, and keep some cash in my pocket
Welcome back. With all the talent we have here its only a matter of time before we get cm9, cm10.1 and wificalling up and running in no time. The guys from cm10 have been doing a great job troubleshooting bug tracking and fixing cm10 for our device.

I still have my Amaze after getting the GNote and will have to agree with a lot of what you said. I like that it is different enough and haven't seen one in the part of Va I'm in, of course I can say the same about the Note. I see S3 like it's a common thing to have, like calculators in the 80s and pagers in the 90s. I love the camera and the dedicated camera button, I have to say it is better than the S3 and the GNote. As far as speed it considered I think it's a close tie between the three, put CM9/10 and they seem to run the same, throw Sense or Touchwiz on them and they have their strengths and weaknesses.
Lol

i can see where you're coming from but in all honesty the S3 is a better phone. the amaze did feel better in the hand but the s3 feels fine too
If only there was a Fully working sense 4 for the S3................

Sense on a Samsung device!? Wouldn't that hose up the space/time continuum or something?

Oh...shame, it really is the best Android device. I would get it, but money prohibits me, especially since i have a Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus already...its worth it if you can, especially since you can customize to your heart's content.

yes but devs got it booting on the international S3 and the S2
Since the the One S/X have the same S4 chip its possible i guess

you got me thinking, if i should get it or not again lol . It is true that you can customize it, so i'll look at more reviews to see if there's isn't anything I don't like, so far there's nothing

Ohh no doubt the S3 is a better phone (faster, very nice screen), but I'm basically saying that the Amaze is just enough for me. It does everything I want. And plus the money I save from selling the S3 will go toward a nexus 7 tablet .

I LOVE my Nexus 7. Running PA 2.54 because 4.2 burns battery still a bit too much, so for now im sticking with 4.1. Seriously its so amazing. Its screen may not have the same punch as a AMOLED screen but its still damn good.
