I want to jump ship to the fast and smooth 2.3.3 from 2.1, but I really really want to keep sense or a sense-esq type UI. I'm curious if anyone knows a good way to do this through android apps / launchers, etc. And if you've done it, can you provide some screenshots please? Furthermore, has anyone tried or recommend GingerSense by kifno? Thanks a lot everyone who has helped!

IMO This thread Was Not Needed. Just my opinion though.
Yea it's Me Again With The
Modified Hero
There is a Sense-esque theme engine theme on the android themes and apps board. I would suggest checking it out. I believe its called NTsense.

I agree. It is a splendid theme. I like it as much as jasonevil's miui theme.

I really like handcent but it's so laggy and slow. Does anyone have a modded apk with better performance? Thanks.

well, ads make it slow, so if you're rooted go get adfree from the market, should help a bit. otherwise get one of impalers themes, they're the ****.

why dont you grab the .apk from his build then zip the file open and put the drawable files from the stock app into it?
seems like it would make sense to me

So the lag is when you type? I may get some lag there, but I don't thumb type fast enough to notice I thought you meant the app as a whole is laggy...

It needs to be CM 6.1.0 or aospMOD, so flash to one of those first, and then flash IB right over it

6.1 stands head and shoulders above 6.0. It really is good. Plus, now that it's out, I would expect theme support for 6.0 to dwindle. But, it's your choice.

Why does bubbles need internet access and ability to modify my sd card as well as read phone state?
The o other drops needs no permissions... really strange and concerning...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
It works perfectly fine on 2.1 devices as well. You can use it on Epic's running Eclair as well, just wanted to add it for any other Eclair users who were curious.
EDIT: All but Bubbles. That one is a hit and miss, it may work, or it may force close on 2.1.
That's a good question bro. Anyone know the answer to that. I don't think I'd be using.that till I know.

I think it's because to some extent Bubbles tests the Optimus's graphic acceleration so I believe LG is probably taking logs from the actual wallpaper and seeing if there are any hiccups in the displaying of the actual 3D or fps in conventional real time use. But that's just a guess on my part, it would make sense if I was head of the development team for the company lol, but I'm not.
So for my HTC Hero for Sprint, I'm currently using LiquidSense 2.1. And I know that xda has a Sense 2.2. Now I'm looking for the version of sense that will provide the fastest performance. I know 2.2 addressed a lot of speed/performance issues, but will it be better than liquidsense's optimized 2.1 version? And then what about the aosp gingerbread 2.3? Is the fastest of them all?
Just trying to make it through until Sprint releases a new phone this summer Thanks for all your help ahead of time!

2.2 sense doesn't have a working camera and likely never will. For speed, I personally think GB 2.3 is the way to go, or aosp froyo, but with 2.3 you will get more customization options.
Yeah, you will never achieve speeds with a sense rom that you'll get with an aosp one. Sense is too resource demanding.

I also recommended CM6 stable,CM6.2, CM6187-Nightly, there's a CM7 Nightly/Full Official released as well. Haven't tried CM7 Nightly/Full Official yet, but from what I've read it been getting alot of postive feed back. Its on my next to do list. I'm still giving Ginger bread 2.3.3 a spin. I've used CM6 Roms up untill about 3 weeks or so. CM6 roms are great for speed,customization and reliability. Aosp's Gingerbread rom is great for all of these as well.IMO you can't go wrong with either.
Yea its me again with the

I want to try pmgrands rom, but i'm waiting until it's further along. I keep checking back everyday to see how its coming lol. Until then i'm using aosp's 2.3.3 20110307 rom overclocked to 691 MHz, and getting a quadrant score of around 325. I ran quadrant on my mom's stock eclair hero and only got around 200. so about 60% faster.
When I handed my old hero to my sister last year, I took CM6 off, and flashed fresh for her.
I was wondering if there are any new sense roms out now that come highly recommended. I'd like to have her use adw launcher if there are any sense roms with the rosie stripped out.
It has to be stable enough to survive another 6 months without me being around to do updates...
Any suggestions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If you are replacing the launcher with adw anyway, why not run an AOSP rom like CyanogenMod 6 or 7 or asopmod? If she's going to be without your support for 6 months, then I suggest cm6 or asop2.2. They are both very stable froyo roms. Cm offers more customization whereas aospmod is speedier.

Nfx has the newest update. If you're looking for minimum issues that may be the way to go. Otherwise you may be getting calls that mms messages are not being received. Easier to update prl and profile on a sense rom with a noob rather than have them trying to flash back and forth.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
there is a new Liquid sense that just came out, i ran it and it was grand.
and you can just download adw, if you want that.
Cool, i'll look at nfx and liquid.
She would not be cool with any aosp rom... getting her to update a prl/profile on sense is difficult enough.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Okey-dokey, liquid just put out his final on liquidsense, and if im not mistaken, it was built off of nfx.

Many of the aspects of sense 3.0 are very difficult to emulate theme wise...this is just more less an update of my previous sense theme
Sense theme is very nice. It's actually the very first theme I ever flashed.

im just saying rather than take on port after port, learn the stuff you are putting off....9 theming is a huge part of what needs to be done to theme
and a lot of what it took to make the sense theme involved editing a ton of stuff, making new images/backgrounds and creating stuff that i couldnt get off an htc phone...it wasnt a straight port...so thats why im very invested in doing it myself
Ahh gotcha.
I agree, com rom has been the best I've used on my fascinate and i would love a sense theme. Sense is probably my favorite ui.

yes and no...i cant distribute the actual older version of fancy widget (1.3) as its considered warez...however if you google it...its not hard to find
or if you have (new) fancy widget pro (like 2-3 bucks in the market) and download h7c skin its a perfect replica of it
or weather and toggle widgets (no idea if its still in the market or not...i havent redownloaded it in ages) and the same skin
Go weather has a HTC style clock skin for there widget. Looks pretty close and its freeeee
