Hi there,
I "downgraded" my mySENSE+dxRC3 to myONEdxRC2 yesterday, but (at least) one of my widgets won't behave, now.
When Sense presents the "add-widget"-list, the widget is identified as 3x3 widget, although the widget name is "2x2", and when added it looks like a 2x2 (but occupying 3x3). It worked under mySENSE+, and if adding in "GO Launcher Pro" it is also 2x2, even now.
Is there a way to make Sense rescan (or whatever the correct term is) to make it reconsider? (I've tried uninstalling and installing the app again, but that does not do it)

mySENSEdx and myONEdx are two different ROMs, you cannot update or downgrade on each other. You MUST make a full wipe installation.

ckpv5, sure - I did indeed do so. The term "downgrade" weren't ment as such, but covered an Android version lower and a lightweight Sense

I am currently running the OTA 2.1 rooted rom.. been liking it, but not LOVING sense anymore.. seems to just lag a lot.
Im trying to find a rom that has the following:
The HTC weather/clock widget. (i love this.. dont know why)
Working google maps/nav
working Live wallpapers with jcase's opengl patch.
working/non crashing google voice.
facebook integration / maybe friendstream?
flan lock screen (or working lock 2.0.. I found with sense and lock 2.0 it was always buggy/laggy when the phone would ring.. no matter how many times I tried to unlock it i would miss the call)
has anyone seen this all in a rom? would love some suggestions.

well you cannot get rid of sense and have the htc weather widget. there are vanilla roms (which removes ALL sense related items) but you would lose the weather you want. there is also a senseless theme you can apply to any rom to remove sense related stuff. errors i have seen with jcase's opengl patch mess up navi. i had lwp for a few days and removed it as it just eats away battery and does lag the phone up.
you can get the n1 lock screen on any ROM as all you have to do is delete the htclockscreen.apk and it will give you that. you just need to flash to all the differnt ROMS, make NAND backups of the ones you like and find one that fits you and then keep it. i flash almost daily as these devs keep putting sick ass ROMs out, but I am currently at aloyious v6 as i need nav and dont care for lwp. but he does have a version out that does have lwp and not nav. so you do have a choice.
So Far today I have flashed:
Vanilla Rom - didnt have the htc clock.. I really like that.. After reading some more I came across the same conclusion, if I want the htc clock.. I need sense.
loaded up jcase's patch for opengl.. ran wallpapers for about 20 min, and yep.. had enough... I guess I do really like sense?
EvilEris1.1 - google login bug - that was a show stopper for me, other than that it seemed fast.
Sensable 2.0 - Currently playing with and the only issue I have had so far is that the text in the dialer is grey and you can barely read it.
Im going to make a nandroid backup of this one and try aloyious v6
IS there a way to name the nandroid backups? it uses the date as the name. would love something a little more intuative.
Thanks for the response and the tips.
Yes, you can change the name. Just plugin your phone via USB and hit mount and then go to the NAND directory. There will be another dir and then just open that one and then all your NAND backups will be there. I name mine after each one as I cannot remember which ROM I flashed before which.
Also, dont forget to wipe data and dalvik when going back to a NAND backup.

Ok, cool.. I didnt know if it needed the DIR name to be the date in order to work.. I was working off a spreadhseet with
THIS DIR = THIS ROM
Sooo much easier now
Thank you again.
Seeing how the time is on the lockscreen and also in the not. bar, I decided that I could live without the flip clock taking up half of my home screen. Here's what I did.
Flashed Eris_Official 0.81T2
Flashed Senless patch
falshed Nexus One patch
flashed Nexus Launcher Wtih LP's patch.
Now I enjoy a mostly vanilla rom, with the HTC dialer, nexus launcher and live wallpapers and it's smooth as butter and bug free.

How about google maps navigation? I keep reading about the nav bug with live wallpapers.
I've heard that too, but haven't noticed a problem.

Hi there
i'd like to know how to remove a single widget from the widget list
the fact is that i need its app, but it has soooo many widgets and i only need one of them
how can i remove the only ones that i don't need?
ps i know that many apps allow to disable the widgets that you don't want, but unfortunately this isn't the case
I don't know of a way to remove a widget, without removing the associated app. There may be an app to do it somewhere, but it's certainly not a standard thing.
Here's an alternative though...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
It groups widgets together, making the widget list a lot tidier.
well at least that's something
thank you!
edit
from that thread:
"* Doesn't work with HTC-Sense but should work with all "Stock-Based" Launchers like Launcher PRO, ADW, Zeam etc. pp."
i can sense incompatibility with the touchwiz XD
i will prolly try it later anyway and see what happens

Very good point - I use Go Launcher and it works fine with that. I just tried it with TouchWiz and it doesn't work.
aww such a shame
thanks so much for testing it!!
i'll keep that in mind in case i change the launcher someday
You don't mention what the name of the apk is ?
autostarts can remove widgets from list (Widget Updating)
Another thing you could always do (if it's not a system app) would be to move the app to the SD card. (I never tried that yet with my SGS2 since I'm still very far from filling the internal app spare, but I'm sure it will work.)
It's easy, quick and doesn't requires any additional software on the phone.
Good day techies. This is quite a time i have reocurring problem on my HTC Desire S with HTC Sense forceclosing/restarting (screen with HTC logo, then "Loading" ...) usually when tabbing or pressing "Home Screen". I tried clearing cache and data of HTC Sense process and in conclusion nothing helped. Installing latest updates and HTC Sense 3 didn't help for my Android 2.3.3
Haven't tried factory reset because it will probably require a lot of tinkering which i don't have time to go into so i would like to know if installing any kind of launcher such as GoLauncher, ADW Launcher EX (read it is faster than others) which are available on Google Play would fix the problem.
Thanks for responses!
Sense Restarting
HTC Sense UI consumes a lot of resources like RAM so if you open some apps simultaneously and then press home screen, SENSE has to reload because the device is out of RAM. If you install another launcher like GO EX, you have to set it as default launcher. However HTC SENSE will continue to run in the background nevertheless...

You mean 768MB of RAM my device has is not enough? And what is the use of installing additional launcher if HTC Sense is still consming RAM? What is way out of this?
Actually, when I ran Sense and used a third party launcher, HTC Sense didn't run in the background. I removed all widgets, apps, shortcuts, etc from the screen and set ADW Ex as my default home screen. My phone ran more smoothly and I never caught Sense open. It's worth a shot.
Also remember that Sense 3.0 uses more ram than earlier versions of Sense.

It didn't run at all, when I'd go into manage applications, it never showed in running apps and never had a force stop button available. When I used the Sense launcher, it showed in running apps and I could stop it from manage applications.
When you install a third party launcher, you'll be given the option to set it as the default home. Once it has installed, hit the home button. You'll be given a dialog asking which launcher you want to use. Select the set as default button & choose the new launcher. If you accidentally choose the wrong one or need to switch back, go to manage applications and find whichever you have set as default. You'll have the option to clear defaults, it's near the bottom. You can also install one of the Home Switcher apps and manage them from there.
Downgrading to a previous version of Sense would require flashing a different rom. If your device has never had anything other than Sense 3.0 then you won't have a Sense 1.0 or 2.1 rom. If the phone used to have an earlier version of Sense, then there will be roms available for it. If your stock rom is 3.0, then going to an earlier version may require going to an earlier version of Android as well. That depends on how the updates have come out.
All I'm saying is that it's worth a shot. I suggest ADW Ex, but if you don't want to pay for it without knowing if it's going to solve your problem, try the free ADW or any other launcher. If it works you can then look at other launchers. If it doesn't work and you prefer Sense, just uninstall the third party launcher or switch back to Sense.
I prefer ADW Ex over Sense as you have many more options. A lot of people like Go Launcher, but I didn't care for it. You might want to give it a shot. LauncherPro is kinda outdated and is missing features. The choice is really up to you, I just think that you might have better luck with a different launcher. Just know that you can't use the Sense widgets with anything other than Sense. If you miss the widgets, check out Android Pro Widgets (APW).

I thought widgets are universal? You mean i will not be able to use widgets any longer should i ditch HTC Sense?

Install GO EX LAUNCHER. Press HOME button from anywhere within the OS and it will ask you which launcher you want to go to. Select the one you want. You can also use task manager widget for Go EX LAUNCHER to clear RAM and sometimes shut down HTC SENSE LAUNCHER. HTC SENSE LAUNCHER reloads when you select it as the launcher after pressing home button...
Memory Booster?
Will Memory Booster help?
This may be a dumb question, so apologies up front. I really like the calendar widget that comes with JB (and ICS) ROMs. In particular, I like the scrolling capability it has within the widget window for agenda view; you can scroll through about a week's worth of appointments without having to go to full screen agenda view. With GB ROMs, the calendar widget doesn't have that functionality; it just shows the next appointment in the window, and to see further out in the week (or even current day), you have to go full screen view.
Is there a way to get the JB calendar widget to work in a GB ROM? Maybe an apk that can be installed?
Thanks for any advice.
Unless you have the source, no
If you had the source, you could replace all the JB specific classes with classes that work with GB
But other than doing that backwards compatibility changing, you cant take an app made for something higher than GB and install it, you'll just get a parsing error because the API for JB supports functions that didnt exist when GB came out
You can use Android Pro Widgets (APW) it's free, it does what you want (on all versions of Android) and it's in the Play Store

Not bad! That's about as close as I'm gonna get. I also like the bookmark widget better in APW. Thanks!
Hello,
Are there any pracices out there to rip the HTC widgets/apps from previous versions of sense or from other ROMs to install on Sense 5? Or even better, is there anyone skilled enough to compile the widgets into a flashable zip file through recovery? Ultimately, I would like to have sense 5, but so far I cant give up the widgets in sense 4+ right now. I have found a ROM that has infused the friendstream widget into the DNA stock rom, so I think there is hope. But whenever I try another sense rom I cant seem to find a way to install some of the HTC stock apps/widets from previous versions. I've tried straight install with package installer, but that always fails of course. I have also tried pushing the apk files using ADB and they successfully push and I can see them in the system/app folder but the app drawer and the widgets drawer dont recognize them. A few of the widgets/apps I would like to see in the newer versions of sense are:
Footprints
Locations
Friendstream
Calendar (Agenda widget)
Sense 4+ Full month calendar widget
Weather widget
Weather clock with animations
Thanks for any help or advice!

Considering he wants "old" sense stuff in sense 5, anything sense 4+ and before would fit under "old" or old versions. There's a few things I missed too, the lock screen weather and clock effects mostly. Useless, but so pretty lol
