I was wandering if there is a way to make a hybrid rom or if a dev would be willing to try to make one. I'm just suggesting because I like sense 5 but I do miss the sense 4+ widgets they removed and the carousel home screen transitions. Also being able to move your home screens around to a different spot. Everything else I like is from sense 5. If maybe someone could port those over or make a sense 4+/5 hybrid. Just a suggestion.

given the massive changes to sense, it would be a lot of work to try and integrate sense5 features into a stock rom or vice versa
given the dependency changes as well (fusion, assets, rosie/prism, etc) you would be asking for issues
not to say its impossible...but i dont see the amount of time needed and the probability of it not even panning out really being worth a dev's time....then again, some people seem to have 100 hours a week to work on stuff, so who knows
Unless you wanted to pay a lot for a developer to do this, it's doubtful. You could always download both versions and make your own hybrid. Granted this would be simple things such as icons and such (already available to download on Viper DNA) , unless you know how to code.

The one Sense 4+ widget I don't miss is FriendStream. I know some don't like the fact that it isn't removable from the homescreen, but BlinkFeed beats FriendStream by a country mile.
I love blinkfeed.

Blinkfeed is great if your into the whole "social" thing but what if your not? Sense 4 for me right now is were I'm at. Maybe Sense 5.1 will bring back some of the widgets I want. Also blinkfeed would be better if it had like emails and messages like windows phone. Its really just a fancy RSS reader.

thats not a hybrid rom...thats a sense 4+ rom that has sense5 icons/images/fonts etc
a true *hybrid* would mix the frameworks/apks/widgets and so on...not just mimic the look
i remember the days of the hybrid sense 2/3 roms on the OG Inc...good times.
That ROM would probably take up a lot of system space since they call on different system commands..
I like this idea a lot, although i think the amount of work makes it not really worth the time someone would have to spend on it. There are some things I miss about sense 5. For example, why did they remove all the customizability? No skins? I feel like they're kind of pulling an apple on us. Regardless, I love sense 5. I keep switching back and forth though because I do miss 4+ sometimes.

So... any of you guys tried this? I haven't been running it today, no need at this point with MikShift, but if/when I go back to AOSP-based roms, it will definitely be my launcher of choice, especially if they continue to develop and include matching widgets for each Launcher interface.
Thought I'd put the word out, it's quite a nifty home replacement. Find it on XDA or Market.

I would love to hear some ideas from you guys! I am planning to put out a Sense ROM for the E3D once we have S-OFF and, if you know me, you know I love users input and I do my best to make it happen. I actually have the ROM done, I just need to test it once we are S-OFF. If you guys have links to specific Sense 3.0 mods and such, please post those as well.
I actually have one very unique surprise lined up for my ROM, let's just say that it's better than using SetCPU So what would you guys like in a Sense 3.0 ROM?
Looking forward to it. I'm not sure if its possible but I'd love to see the app drawer modded so that after you launch an app, you go back to the home-screen instead of back to the app drawer.

Sound and brightness controls added to quick settings (was possible with OG Evo) would be awesome.
If at all possible, enabling a long press on the volume rocker to change music track while screen is asleep (maybe port from CM?). I think that's difficult due to the HTC Music player being closed source.
Audio tweaks maybe, to increase sound output.
Dancing Droid on incoming calls, perhaps? (was used in kingdom or synergy on Evo, forget which one)
I'm sure I'll think of some more, but some of those would be pretty cool to start out. They are all things that should be included in a stock ROM from HTC, IMO.

That's pretty much exactly like I want too.
I want the ROM to not open a ton of useless crap that I dont want open. Like when the phone starts, why does Spiderman game become active? Why are maps always active? all those random little things that dont need to be open and are sucking up RAM for no reason.
I would also like the older app drawer, I think it might be the stock gingerbread "3d" app drawer. It was so smooth and looked nice. The stock Sense 3.0 app drawer is too unimaginative just sliding through different pages of apps.
1) Autobrightness adjusting app or simply dimmer autobrightness (except in direct sunlight, where it should be maxed).
2) Better caching of apps/icons in ram, so there's no lag.
3) Gpu acceleration of gui and live wallpapers.
4) Slow down or turn off carousel.
GPU acceleration, a semi-transparent Rosie launcher *stock* with the ROM, and the 3D AOSP gallery/3D app drawer (Cyanogenmod style).
Oooh also add in the new Market! People would be all over that, I love it. I've added it for convenience.
Just want to get a view of interest if this theme would be wanted by anyone. I loved it and built it right before the 3.5 craze.
Like stated in rader3bravos thread sense stuff cant be themed, but if your using an alt launcher it would work.

I'm not an expert but I dont think its possible because of sense and the framework resources. Or you'll have to do a lot more than just swapping a few apk's.

While personally not a fan of the AOSP dialer, I'm a huge fan of the AOKP dialer (I also think the same one is used in CM9). It's simple, elegant, and has T9 searching built in.
The Sense one is laggy, bulky, and slow.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I should have included this in the post so my apologies, but I don't think it's possible. Even if you replaced the APK with the stock or CM9 dialer, I think it would crash. HTC has heavily modified their Android source and framework so the HTC Dialer is deeply embedded in the ROM and can't be replaced.
With that said, you can get an APK from the market that will replace the dialer, but it's not a true dialer. It basically acts like a dialer then sends the dial commands through the phone's stock dialer. They're finnicky at best, usable at worst.
Just my opinion though, I may have some of the details wrong as I'm not a dev.
The only 2 things I wish I had when I was on Cyanogen was the Sense Dialer and Camera app...both are superior to AOSP (at least at that time).
Sense Dialer having the smart search is a godsend.

Newer Cyanogen (7.2 and up) has a modified AOSP dialer that integrates smart search. Very slick.
