Anyone know how to turn off the sense ui while using Nova Launcher? I am not rooted as of yet and want to do this.
You'll need to root and install the cm10 ROM or install a descended ROM with the ui elements deleted

Yeah without root, its not possible. Even a desensed Rom isn't senseless. The ui is integrated into everything, from the dialer to the framework and every stock app in between.

The important thing is that if you haven't taken the 2.04 update yet don't take it.
But if you already took it, you will need to wait for an unlock solution so you can root.
Once you're rooted and unlocked, you can install a Rom like ViperDNA which has a desense installer option and also lets you choose what sense apps if any that you want to disable.
Any other Rom will work too, you will want to install your launcher like nova or apex and then go to settings/apps and freeze the Rosie launcher by freezing the HTC Sense apk.
After running it frozen and getting everything dialed in and working you might want to delete the sense interface (called Rosie) completely.

Wondering especially if folks who had been using say ADW or LauncherPro have now opted for Sense and how they like comparatively.

HTC Sense, not because I want to, but because with our phones not being rooted, and HTC Sense being so deeply integrated, it is almost pointless to run another launcher, as they both will be running at the same time no matter what you set as default.

umm..this is not true... Like any launcher, if you are not currently using Sense as your default launcher it does not run. Sure HTC still has processes and what not running on the phone. Mostly for their integrated apps. But the widgets and launcher itself are not using memory if they are not running.
sense... if I didnt want to run sense I would get the nexus... I know everyone has a preference but why get the greatest phone on earth and take away its soul?
adw ex ehh jk sense
Don't like sense since I can't hide the taskbar and dockbar. So I use adw x

I have licenses for ADW EX and Launcher Pro, and I'm sticking with Sense for now. I also have SPB launcher, and may try that one out.
The phone has just been solid and run very well with the stock browser so I figure why mess with it.
Great thing though with the quick settings in the pulldown menu you don't have to worry about finding widget replacements for the radios anymore when you switch launchers.
So far I have stuck with Sense. I have not been a fan of Sense in the past and have a paid subscription to ADW EX. In my opinion I have never used a phone that had the hardware capabilities to run Sense the way it is meant to be ran, until now. the 3DEV0 is more than capable of running it and runs it quite well actually. I may still give ADW EX a shot, but for now I am giving Sense a chance to win me over which is something it has not done yet.
Sense...for now

ADW Launcher EX. Sense's bottom bar irritates me too much, and the exceedingly tall vs. wide screen is perfect for a 4x5 layout instead of the 4x4 default.

My processes tell me differently
Started out with SPB 3D Shell, but been using sense the last day or so just to get to know it.... Pretty sweet so far. Probably bounce back and forth.
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.
Started using Nova Launcher with Nils ICS and ran into a small problem.
The Sense Lockscreen that has the 4 shortcuts by default launch Sense and not Nova Launcher, any way to change it? Do I need another lockscreen?
Have you tried removing the Sense APK(Rosie.apk) and see if Nova launches the shortcut properly? I don't use the Sense lockscreen anymore so I can't test.
I just removed the Rosie and it still loads the icon. Even more interesting is that I just deleted the HTC lock screen yet it is still there. Weird

will do, but do we still have to unlock to answer calls?
No idea, I am running Nils latest with Sense, I just remembered seeing that thread.
I'm using NoSense rom, LeeDroid HC 4.3.0 applyed sense stripper.
Well.. when I used Sense, I just tapped a personal setting icon on main launcher and could change apps on lockscreen at this menu. However, now, I can't find this setting menu so...how can I change apps on lockscreen?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
I don't think there is a way to access the personalize menu without the sense launcher. At least, I have looked and can not find any way to access it except the button on the launcher. This might be a bug worth reporting to Lee.
yea I believe you need to do it using the sense launcher then you can use an alternative. I wonder if you can freeze the sense launcher using titanium after you have made the change
Thanks, devator.
I'm using Golauncher HD and, now, there's no lockscreen, suddenly... I don't know what's happened So I think I sholud reinstall the rom and I'll back to Sense anyway.
And, thank you for your advice about titanum, mcord. I'll try it later

I remember when we first got ics, all of the senseless roms used aosp apps like system UI, settings, messaging, and others. Just wondering why don't senseless roms now run those?

I'm pretty sure the UI framework al always had the fc. All you have to do is download the themes
