Sorry, but Sense is just too much razz-ma-tazz bull**** for me. I grew up with Sense on my Hero and when aosp (the dev) came out with his stock Froyo (and later Gingerbread) roms I initially thought they were just so bland, but I grew to really love the way ADW Launcher could be set up to instantly flick from one screen to the next. I really loved not having to wait even a fraction of a second to get to the next rock-steady screen, and I came to hate the way that Sense couldn't be set up to jump instantly to the next screen. And it still can't be set up to do that, and I still hate Sense because of that. And I hate it when I unlock the lockscreen then I have to wait for that stupid carousel to quit spinning. Jeeze, that **** is truly maddening. I didn't buy a smartphone so I could watch the goddamn carousel spinning around. That got old after about 2 minutes, and I REALLY resented that I couldn't deactivate it. My time is valuable to me, that's why I got a dual-core Adreno 220 1.2ghz machine. Sense doesn't do anything for me except waste my time. The second day I had this new phone I put ADW Launcher on it and I've been a happy camper ever since. I've got it set up so all I have to do is touch the flip-screen dots in the lower corners or give the screen a flick and BAM, instant screen change! Very satisfying!

Also, ADW lets me set up 5 rows of icons on each screen, which is perfect on the size screen we have now. Being limited to 4 rows just feels like an awful waste of screen space.

So now I've got a screaming machine all set up like I like it! The only thing I don't have yet is root! :)
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
ADW on top of Sense is nice. I do like some of the apks provided with Sense. The Launcher, however, is complete garbage lacking any kind of decent customization for better useability...aesthetics only.
[HTC Sensation] oldjackbob:
Thanks. That's exactly what I was trying to say. :o
[HTC Sensation] Ndokami:
Sense is awesome because of the widgets and sleekness of it, the effects. also you get those htc apps that are pretty cool too. also the touch input HTC_IME is the best touch screen keyboard IMO.

What i find not so awesome is 7 home screens i wish you can change that. i only use 3 to 5. Sometimes it feels like over kill. Ram hog is a under statement
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
android with Sense is much more convinient than non-sense android..
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
So with a 1000 word essay on why you hate sense you go and buy a phone with the latest version of sense on it and then you come on a forum and bash it when you knew before you bought it you were going to hate it . People like you aggravate the **** out of me
[HTC Sensation] DeoreDX:
Some extra things on Sense I like that isn't the widgets or animations. Pure functional things it brings to the table that I really like:

-Quiet Ring on pickup

-Pocket mode where it increases ringtone volume when in your pocket

-Flip the phone face down to activate speaker phone

-I like the Dialer but that's more cosmetics. I do like the dial by name function from the dialer.

-I won't use a ROM unless it has the power controls in the notification window and the newer Sense builds have this (Still prefer Cyanogenmod's implementation though).

-I know some people hate it but I like the facebook linking in the contacts

That's what I can think off of the top of my head. I don't use most of the widgets (I use Fancy Widget instead of the weather clock), though I do really like the people/contact widgets.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
Sense 3.0 is way too bloated. HTC needs to take lessons from Samsung (YES, SAMSUNG) and dial it back about 10 notches.
[HTC Sensation] bobdude5:
Sense is awesome because:

1. Best phone dialer and contact management

2. Best integration with social networks

3. Best keyboard and amazing auto correction

4. Awesome notification bar with quick access to apps and system settings

5. Best UI for music player with easy streaming to any wireless or Bluetooth capable device

6. Best text selection and copy paste ability. Highlight a word or paragraph in the browser and it will give you a definition, translation, YouTube results, Wikipedia results and more.

7. By far the most useful and integrated widgets of any android UI. Sure there are replacements in the market but they don't work as well as the sense widgets

8. Best gallery app that let's you wirelessly print your pictures to your printer. Also let's you edit your pictures and add effects and it has auto enhance feature that works really well.

9. Awesome browser with great rss integration

10. It's pretty
[HTC Sensation] pete777:
I think that reason why people buy sensation even if they dont like sense is form factor. Its really sleek and ergonomically much better than SGS2. I personally also think that sense is a bit slow and animations are childish and annoying but widgets are functional, social network integration is excellent, dialer, contacts..really nice. But it needs really heavy optimizing! You notice slugginess only when you switch to launcherpro/adw and back to sense launcher..
[HTC Sensation] jree:
I've come from moto blur on my cliq, to touchwiz on my vibrant, and now my first sense with the sensation and it isn't perfect but its my favorite so far. I don't think I have to go too much into blur but touchwiz....jeez.

I hated how bland my iPhone looked and after I upgraded my cliq to the Vibrant I felt like I was staring at my 3gS all over again. I couldn't wait to throw a new launcher on it and flash what seems like hundreds upon hundreds of roms. I do miss the contact list where you can flick right to make a call or flick left to send a message. That was my second favorite feature all time. First is the Sense lock screen and how I can go into my favorite apps without going into the phone completely.

Vanilla android is alright but its just soooo boring to me. As much as I love rooting and how addicting it is I feel that this phone right outta the box is just so beautiful, snappy, and usable that rooting isn't that big of a deal to me right now

No one UI is perfect but to me sense is pretty dang close. The calendar, email, weather, and music widgets and how seamless linking contact with whatever is the best that I've experienced. At this point, I am extremely happy with Sense 3.0 that I would really only want to root so that I can remove some system apps.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msmall82:
So I have Das BAMF 1.8.6 and use the stock boot animation however I have one that comes up before that.

It's the HTC splash screen with the green android guy that says ROOTED in big letters diagonally across the screen. I don't want this splash screen however I have no idea how to remove it. I don't need a total of 3 different splash screens (the stock BAMF says the black HTC - quietly rooted screen followed by the Thunderbolt animation).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xTFGx:
you should have an app called DasBAMF in your app drawer. open it and go to system settings enable/disable the boot animation. go back a page and go to extras. you can choose what splash screen/boot animation you want from there. you can also change the font from this menu.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msmall82:
It's not the boot animation I am having problems with, it's the splash screen *before* the boot animation.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abn75:
The black screen is part of the boot animation, not a separate splash screen. You only have the splash that comes up when you first boot then the animation. Anything after the first screen is part of the animation itself.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msmall82:
Ok thats all fine and dandy however the problem is still removing the initial splash screen that comes before anything else.

I get the white HTC android logo splash screen with ROOTED across it and then the other screen + thunderbolt animation. I want to remove it!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abn75:
I dont think you can remove the splash screen. IF there is a way, I do not know how to do it. you can change it in the das bamf tool kit, but other than that, I think you are stuck with it
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkL3AD3R:
I know you can modify that splash screen through the Das BAMF toolkit, and I did when I had it. But now I am on CM7 and still have my old splash screen. I want to change it back to stock so I am in a similar situation as the OP. Any word on whether you can use the BAMF toolkit on non-BAMF roms just for the splash screen setting?

Edit: I found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1006999 basically the same thing just not nearly as convenient.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srbecker:
I second that. I was on 1.8.6 and set the splash screen with the chick on it, but now I am on 2.4.1 which is ginger based and I still the the splash screen with the girl on it, then I get the standard HTC quietly brilliant screen, and then the boot animation. How do I removed or go back to the original HTC Splash screend?

I would just change it in the toolkit however they removed that feature from the toolkit, now Im stuck.....
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
Go to this thread. In the OP there is a download called stocktbPG05IMG.zip. Download that, and flash in bootloader like any PG05IMG.zip. Then you will have the stock splash screen with the white background and HTC in green. I'm fairly sure you can't get rid of that first splash screen.

I have a t959. I tried to flash a new kernel and it didn't go so well. I used beowolfs restore and now I'm back on eclair 2.1 update 1, T959uvjfd, kernel 2.6.29.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:

Is anyone keeping a list of tv models people have been successful with?

I've got a samsung LN40B750 from 2009 and hdmi out works fine from iPad but not with my transformer. I bought a $3 mini-hdmi to hdmi adaptor from eBay so don't know if that's the problem or not. Transformer detects the hdmi out is connected and displays logo in the bar at the bottom but I get 'no signal detected' on tv screen.

Can someone remind me does it do mirroring or only support various apps (eg YouTube)?

I recently went from synergy to calkulins evio 3 today and i really missed the privacy settings where you were notified of a text message but it did not show the actual text on the notifications bar at the top or the lock screen from the synergy rom (sense 3.0 only feature?) and i was wondering if there was a way to get that same setting on calkulins evio 3 without going to a 3rd party app such as handscent or what not.
[Defy General] javlada:
Hello,

I'd like to get suggestion on which ROMs I should try. I used to have a GM DSTL1 Android phone so I'm familiar with the OS.

I should get my Defy tomorrow and I want to install a good ROM before setting up the phone. I want to have root, WiFi tethering, video playback and recording working and all the other common features (3G, GPS, compass, FM, 3D etc.) Which ROM would you suggest to use?

Also I heard about Motoblur that it slows down the phone a lot. Is it better to use stock Android?

I'm sorry for these stupid questions. But I'd like to get the phone running as soon as possible and I don't have much time for experiments.
[Defy General] pjgowtham:
cyanogenmod 7
[Defy General] duendetuc:
or MIUI if you want an iphone style...
[Defy General] javlada:
I don't want an iPhone style. I like Androis as it is.

I'll try CyanogenMod, the only problem I heard about it is video recording. But it is probably caused by extremely high bitrate setting (10 Mps), which can be changed to reasonable value.

I'll get my phone on Monday and then I'll have about 2 weeks to set up everything before my vacation.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interloper:
Last night I updated to the OTA Gingerbread firmware update and have been having WIFI connection issues. I have tried changing the sleep state settings, disabling 3G and performing numerous factory resets. The WIFI connects, disconnects, scans for the router connects and repeats the process ad infinitum. A call to Sprint customer service resulted in "Please take the unit back to the store so the firmware can be DOWNGRADED." It was a very short call and I forgot to ask if there were other people with the same issue, but I am assuming it may be. Could someone else confirm or verify they have or do not have any WIFI problems. This is mostly for my own curiosity but maybe it's something else too.

Sounds like your update was corrupted. Try reverting back to ea24 and re-upgrading to gingerbread again. The instructions are all over in the development section. If you take it in it sounds like that is what sprint is going to do for you.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adonishong:
I have experience similar issue before "connects, disconnects, scans for the router connects and repeats the process ad infinitum". At that time, my solution is(suppose the network name is MyWifi) "Wi-Fi settings"->"MyWifi"->Forget.

Then, re-scan this network, re-enter the password etc...

Any clues on how I can do this since I cannot see the screen?

It doesnt matter if your stock or not if your replacing the phone under your insurance....it only matters when your claiming under warranty....and warranty doesnt cover water damages, broken screens, lost or stolen phones, etc....thats when your insurance becomes handy...

I think it would be awesome if we could receive some sort of notification (or popup) when we are quoted in a thread. Its much easier to keep up with questions and conversations.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] The Holy Cow:
I am so confused. Since Android apparently needs WM to run and does not run flawless I decided to try to go from WM6.1 to WM6.5.

I already know what a ROM is and that I need to replace the WM6.1 ROM from HTC with a WM6.5 ROM from here. But there are so many ROMs and all look different. I am concerned that I may install a bad ROM so I ask you: Which one should I install?

I understand that certrain functionalities work only with certain ROMs (or something). I really focus on GPS, phone, Audio Player.

Thank you so much!

P.S. I did some research here before but I end up with so much information that I cannot handle them all. I am also concerned that I follow obsolete tutorials or information or that I grab obsolete ROM files/whatever. :S
[HTC EVO 3D] Darineth:
With very light usage, I've managed to get my Evo3D to last just shy of 2 and a half days. When actually using it, it's been a bit hit or miss, some days it tanks pretty fast, other days it's done quite well. But one thing I have noticed is that sometimes, especially around the 35% range, it'll spontaneously drop 10-15% (it actually did 43% straight to 14% this afternoon). It's visible in the battery use graph as a sudden nearly vertical line. It's never happened when I had the screen on actually doing something, it just happens randomly after turning the display off. Has anyone else seen this? It's pretty confusing.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
First thing is first....

Did you download spareparts and see what is consuming battery? In other words, check for a wake lock.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
You have to give the battery time to get conditioned. It gets better the more you go through charging cycles. I'm at 75% after 8 hours of moderate usage and that's pretty consistent for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] BlaydeX15:
For the first week or 2, the phone has a hard time understanding how full the battery is. Try draining it down to 50% or so, and then resetting it. You'll probably see a sudden drop or rise in the battery%. Resetting it will force the issue, but it can also happen while the phone is on. That's pretty normal till the the phone "Learns" the battery.

It doesn't mean you suddenly used 15% of your battery, it would probably explode if you did that... it just means the phone re-calculated the battery's life and changed the number.
[HTC EVO 3D] xBryan:
Your not alone as soon as mine hits 35 percent ill shut the screen off and here it beep at me and bang its at 14%. lol same as you.
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuki82:
Don't know if it will help you.

I had a similar issue as you, battery would get to around 30ish % I could turn the screen on check an email, set it down and bam 14%, and the low charge noise.

I wasn't trying to fix it, instead I was doing this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1153371

When I attempted this I had about 35ish percent battery left, following the directions my phone restarted when it came back up I got a 1% battery warning, then my phone went into emergency shut down. I thought something happened and I was going to have to return the phone. I powered it back up and it read 33%, from there on out my phone now drops a % at a time, and my battery life is as good as the other people who get phenomenal battery. I'm going on 48hours with light usage and still have 25% left. I've txt'd music, videos, nothing heavy.

Take it for what it's worth, I don't know what happened maybe the data reset, resets the battery calibration, I have no clue, all I know is what happened to my phone and the result.
[Captivate Android Development] ameedi600:
I bring you a ported rom that comes from the Samsung vibrant forum. The rom is fully stable except I couldn't get GPS to work, however if anyone out there decides to try and fix it then go for it. It comes with the Jk4 modem and it is blazing fast.

NOTE: I TAKE NO RESPONISBILITY OF WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE.

The rom is 2.2.1, so just place the rom on your sd card and flash like any ordinary rom. Also the rom is in Dutch when you first flash it. Just go to language and keyboard and click on the first option from there. Then scroll down to English and change it. Well here it is http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20441294/SimplyGalaxy2.7.2SweetHoney.zip

If you are coming from gingerbread then I think it would be best to flash with Odin back to stock 2.2 and then root and flash this rom. Thank you
