[Q] HTC sense overlay? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know if I can get it or not?

No sorry, not possible, there are attempts to copy over the clock, and launcher pro plus has a good go at the widgets, but there is no way of porting over the sense overlay, I tried myself with titanium backup and just got stuck in bootloop, sense requires a lot and it wipes over a lot of the drivers.
So far as I know no-one is even working on a port.

IMPOSSIBLE.
Seems like everyone has given up on trying to port it.
I never liked sense much anyway.

Home replacement or app request

Hi does anyone think that an app could be developed to add the 3 button bar in sense ui to the launcher on stock g1s or could this app be implemented to a home replacement.
It's perfectly possible to make a sense-ui copy, but it's just a matter of doing it. Try getting in contact with someone who has already made a home replacement app and see if they will implement it.
Ok cool thanks for the reply
Is anyone willing to take on the challenge to create a sense ui clone
i think probably not... people are probably just gonna start telling you to get hero themes or roms lol
though i would also like SOME hero stuff.. not everything because having everything seems to slow the phone down..
Yh maybe but the reason I'm asking is because I like how the 3 button bar works and I also have a stock phone and don't really want to flash the danger spl

what happens when sense is flushed from memory?

Well first is that even possible? If it is then what is the result?
I am curious because lately my phone has been resetting itself (I don't mean a full reboot, but rather sense seems to be reloading. I am not really sure how to describe it but it is kind of like in windows when you log off and and log back in and windows restarts but you don't go through the whole post test) At first I thought maybe it was an app messing up and then I thought maybe it was the rom itself messing up, but now I am thinking that maybe sense is being flushed from memory and when that happens it needs to reload.
Any thoughts?

OK so you are basically confirming my latest suspicion. I like the clock (with the weather and effects) widget to much get rid of it.
What would cause sense to reset itself?
(If I don't use sense then does that mean I lose all my flickr and facebook syncing?)

Not at all... Some roms have issues with the memory and sense as far as I know and constantly cause it to reboot... I just changed roms

do you know of any aosp roms with sense besides alysius?
If you download beautiful widgets you can get the sense looking clock and there are several widgets to replace the sense ones. Some HTC apps and widgets have not been mimicked yet. Launcher Pro Plus has a contatcs and one other widget available now and he is working on making more like HTC's. I really like launcher pro and run it instead of sense if I run a rom with sense, which is not very often. I have been running darchdroid or CM6 most of the time and do not miss sense.
You might try reflashing the ROM you are using without a wipe and see if that fixes it.

Will reflashing have any effect on apps2sd
I wish all apps had a free or trial version so I could sample them before having to commit to any money. Beautiful widgets does it mimic the weather effects of HTCs clock/weather widget?

What rom and kernel are you using, those new OC/UV kernels are known to cause this and so are task killers?

I am using Aloysuis 2.1.2; the restarts occur in both the 2.1.2 and the 6-29 update. The kernel is listed as being: 2.6.29-d30020a8 [email protected] #1
I am not using any task killers other then autokiller (which came with the rom and allows you to set memory levels on when the phone will start various apps e.g. empty app, content provider, and hidden. I currently have it set to the optimum preset which has the following levels set: hidden app: 40, content provider: 50, empty app: 60
Being that I know believe sense is restarting in spare parts I have "home app in memory" checked but I don't think this has any real effect on the problem.

[Q] Galaxy-s port/widgets

Ive been trying for the longest while to get the touchwiz widgets to work on my nexus one and nothing works, i tried the touchwiz 3,0 port created by rolle3k and its nice but the widgets still dont work. i dont care much for the actual port of the galaxy-s all i really want is the widgets. does any have any ideas or any info on this?
Abandonded.

Anyone desensed yet?

Hi there,
Got my hands on my friends HTC One which I unlocked and rooted. Still running a stock rom though.
I was wondering if anyone decided to ditch the Sense 5 yet and what the consequences of that might be, basically what I'm trying to do is disable the blinkfeed but I assume it's part of HTC Sense?
If you flash an AOSP or AOKP rom you will lose zoe function, boomsound and other stuff
However, i think you can't fully disable blinkfeed
i've ditched the launcher for Nova, still like all the other sense apps and features

Ah okay, I'll guess there will be custom roms in the future without sense but with the important features.
Time will tell eh:good:
I found that HTC Sense was draining a lot of battery after I signed into a bunch of different accounts. I think it was mostly BlinkFeed, but there could be more.
After unlocking the bootloader and rooting, I skipped the sign in prompts for HTC's services, and only signed into my Google account. From there I installed Nova Launcher, and my battery life has been better than ever.
Personally I still want to keep HTC Sense for the IR blaster app and Bluetooth apt-X, but most of the other features are unnecessary to me.

I haven't seen this HTC sign in prompt you're referring to, does the stock launcher run in the background?

If you're just trying to get rid of blinkfeed, you can use any of the custom launchers (Apex, Nova, GoLauncher, etc) and you won't have to worry about it anymore.
If you're rooted/ROM'ed, you can run the ROM Cleaner script (link below)

[Q] MMS from other gallery.

Hello
I tried to find the answer to this, but could not find what Im was looking after.
I dont like the HTC stock gallery very much, I cant choose witch folders it should look for pictures in, it drags in everything from everywhere and it is really annoying.
I wish I could remove it, because QickPic does everything I want.
But as far as I understand, HTC does not allow 3rd party apps to be uses as source for mms media anymore, so I cant remove the stock gallery....
I use Android HD Revolution, very nice, but in 12.1 I had the option to remove Sense all together, but in the latest version that option is removed (maybe this is a restriction from HTC? I dont know) and I use Nova Launcher, I dont like Sense 5 so much.
Is it any way to safely remove Sense all together this days, use stock Android GUI or something?
Or possible to use other galleries for mms?
I was looking for a google edition of 4.2 as I some apps I use does not seems to work correct under 4.3 yet, but cant seems to find that.
Sorry if I have not looked good enough around.
Hi again
I found a solution that worked for me, I write it down here so everyone in the same position as me can see it:
-I tried the GE edition but I did not like it, Titanium backup did not wanted to restore my apps ether.....or the data.
-So I reinstalled 4.2.2 Android HD Revolution
-I found, luckily enough, ROM Cleaner
-That helped me a lot, but left the galleri and SMS/MMS problem intact, so I installed both Go SMS Pro and QickPic and then removed stock Galleri.
-Now things works like I want it to, and I dont need to use that annoying HTC Galleri app. I wish HTC would let their SMS app use 3.rd party galleries, but GO SMS is very neat too.
Hope this can help others that is annoyed on the stock galleri as Im.
