Sense 3.0 Skins? - HTC Incredible S

So I just flashed a Rom encompassing the new OTC update with Sense 3.0... I was thinking of removing Sense altogether and going for the cleaner look which I had with CM7. Although I would like to keep some of the functionality that comes with sense this time around. I remember the older versions of sense had some cleaner looking skins but in this new version we are stuck using the huge black rosie on every crappy skin. I found some skins supposedly for Sense 3.0 especially this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15548167
Although I tried installing a couple of these skins they just don't work. If anyone can port the one posted above I would be happy to buy a round of beers (15$).
Cheers guys I hope somebody can make our phones look better!

New Sense(Desire) Theme

Has anyone ported this theme over to our phones yet? Any help would be appreciated
I too would like this, however I've taken a look at the files in the Desire Roise.apk and (obviously) they are a higher resolution for the Desires screen so would need a lot of resizing done. I only wanted to port the new glossy navbar from the bottom but all the images have changed (new names/locations) from 1.5 and I couldnt get my head around them as none of them seem to tally up with how it finally looks.
Need to have more of a play with the Desires 2.1 Sense theme I think. This is the first Hero 'theme' I've been mildly confused by!
Loving that new glossy navbar tho so I hope we get the same one when HTC finally put us out of our 1.5 misery.
...roll on getting my Nexus One
Well thats one thing I did notice but i couldn't even find the sense apk from the desire. Can you provide a link? I'll at least attempt it lol

The guy obviously didnt want a slow HTC model, and thats fair enough.. Should be possible to port the ui, it is, basicly just an overlay.. But some of the coding needs to be done.. But, i played a little with some of the launchers from the market, and there are some, quite close clones to the Sense UI - Adw Launcher has a Sense theme.. I also had Beautiful Widgets once, and there you can get the sense clock. If what u are in fact looking for is the facebook sync etc.. Then you are a little f.... because its only available for HTC Sense...

LauncherPro Plus.
there is a theme for adw launcher which allows you to have a sense ui lookalike allthough the thing was russian and when i popped into menu settings alot of russian jibberish appeared so i uninstalled mine again and just went with plain launcher pro but hey if ur russian is better than mine you can have a blast with it i guess

You mean you would rather waste a bunch of memory on Sense, which you can't have, instead of running a much lighter and IMHO much better launcher like LauncherPro or ADW? Much to learn you have, young padawan.
And the sense ui is hardcoded in to the kernel and other parts of the system, so it is not as easy as with some other launchers just to pull and use on other systems...
There was a try to make a sense rom for the galaxy s but it got scrapped in the end as it was a HTC rom they did try to mod for the Galaxy s and there was some overheating problems stuff that don't work etc etc...
So the best is to get something like launcher pro plus, use the custom dock background option and there sense look alike widgets and Beautiful Widgets with a sense look alike clock..
Saves ram and you don't risk breaking the hardware because it is a bad rom build.
aha

I created the think tank which led to that port.. I think its possible to port the Sense ROM to any phone that has enough juice to run it, and a good porting expert to port it.
I think when the G2X is released into the USA mainstream this dev section will explode with quality developers all eager to make there name, so im sure it will happen... It is quite simple to port, but making everything else work will be the hardest thing...
When i get my G2X sent from the USA i will start another think tank, we will get this beast on our snappy new phones
And as for the people that say "if you want sense, buy a HTC". well that goes against everything we try to do here at XDA.. Its all about choice and pushing the boundaries, and if the masses want a port, never try and dissuade them, encourage it, and help if you can.. You may not want it, but negativity is discouraged here.
I for one would love to see the new sensation ROM (Sense 3.0) ported to the 2x phones, and im 99.9 percent sure it will be attempted.

Working quite nicely on my LG
Add "Fancy Widget" from the market
Update: Seems it has now been removed from "Market" and download links from the lpsense site - apparently on request from Launcher pro devs.

Same boat as you right nw, got a dead hd2, need a phone now and am thinking about the LG Optimus 2x because I think it's pretty future proof. Wud go for a SGS2 or HTC Sensation, but I think they'll be far too expensive.

Sensation 3D Transitions

Hi All,
I was just wondering if anybody knows of a theme for the IS that included the cool 3D transitions from the Sensation?
I am currently running
S-OFF
Android Revolution HD 1.0.2
HTC Sense 2.1 (3.0 Lock Screen, Weather, etc etc)
Basically all I need now are the groovy transitions. But I don't want to lose Sense 3.0
Was just wondering if it's possible?
Thanks
Dean
A little more;
Ignore the above,
I've seen a video somewhere on this forum (most likely in the DHD or IS dev)
It's was like a 3d homescreen wheel. When swiping side to side the screens moved in a wheel like action as apposed to sliding horizontally. I believe it was a continous flow of homescreens.
Anway I've searched and searched and scowered the forum and I can't find it again.
Does anybody recall this?
(Was likely to have been in an Android Revolution thread) I can't find it anywhere.
Please note, I have watched the n00b video

I dont think its possible to get 3d Transitions like HTC Sensation on IS with And Rev ROM - If u want the 3d Slocrilling effect (n many others) use Launcher Pro from the Maket once installed . On the Home Screen > Go Menu>Prefrences>Home/General Settings>Transiiton Effects
http://geeknizer.com/android-3d-launcher/
Here you go you were looking for number 2
the sense 3.0 ports of incredible s must have that..
or else you can download the 3d rosie pack for sense 2.1 rom from dhd section seo thread..
and all the sense 3.0 stuff..
it would work on most phones with sense 2.1
Thanks all
I found the rosie pack and gave it a whirl . After it booted up I cleared the data from HTC sense to get my widgets back but I still do not have the Bookmarks or People widgets . I have tried rebooting, clearing data again, clearing that cache from recovery (don't recall the name) . Yet these two widgets are both missing .
I presume I can install them or push them ?

those rosie pack are for DHD, they need to be re-written to be able to properly used with the IS. Pushing doesn't work, already tried.
It's working fine. I flashed it through recovery . Can't see any real bugs apart from the two missing widgets. I'm going to get rid of it tomorrow all the same .

Nice Digger, but answer to Your question is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1028
Nowadays we have phones loaded with HTC Sense 3.5 ROM's. If you don't want to use custom ROM then wait 6 days when HTC will officially release Sense 3.0.
Im using Android Revolution HD™ 1.1.9 custom ROM have all the sense 3.0 but not the 3D Transitions :-(

I agree with nsg86. can't go wrong with vu2.39.
Thanks nsg86 for the info going to flash to Virtuous Unity Rom. but before i do that im sure I need to wipe my device and i have about 20+ games installed how can I backup all the save data and any other data that I have.. please advice
why are you flashing vu ? its sense 3.0. Go directly to 3.5, try Rcmix 4 or Nik's Trinity ROM.Sense 3.5 is a lot smoother than 3.0.
You can use titanium backup to create a backup of your apps and their data.Just avoid backing up system apps, only backup user apps.
You can backup contacts using the builtin backup option in peoples and you can backup sms using the builtin option in messages.
My Quadrant result now using ARHD is 2310 and performance is superb. Would like to know on other ROM that is stable and have a superb performance So far came across Nik's Trinity ROM.Sense 3.5 and also vu2.39
I'm using Virtuous Affinity 1.48 and its fantastic; smooth, quick, stable, and so far, the battery is great.
I have it clocked at a maximum 1.15ghz with the virtuous daemon, and my quadrant score is about 1900, better than the stock 1200.
@h3llrai53r, what is your clock speed to achieve such a high score? Or is ARHD just that little bit quicker?

we would actually be going backwards on this the they modified sense on the chacha to fit the smaller screen so it would look very weird on the hero.

well atleast can we see something good that we can GO BACKwards too, so much updated things, i like some of the old stuff, like espresso sense or even froyo sense
this is what kyle and tazz have already been working on for the past two months the chachas version of since has a modified lockscreen widgets and home dock that just wouldnt look right on larger screens.

Think I figured out my issue with sense 3.6

It's themeing! Honestly I like the holo look of ics. I also like the textured look of sense. And it seems while sense 4 is just as intrusive as previous versions, they redid the graphics and tweaked in ics features to blend quite well with the holo elements in tact. However this isn't the case with 3.6. 3.6 really is just a tweaked 3.5 designed to work with ics. Problem is there are 2 themes present here. A lot of menus your seeing holo elements and but you still have textured borders of old sense everywhere in the ui. The result is a ui with a loss of identity. You can install custom skins that help but they still leave a lot of textured sense borders that can't be removed as the skins only go so deep.
I will say overall I like sense and buying an HTC phone I didn't expect AOSP. I think if they couldn't give us 4 than 3.6 should of at least been designed better to blend in with holo elements. And one thing I don't get about HTC is they always remove the overscroll effect. I'm going to root my phone soon and first order or business will be fixing the themeing. I dunno if ill put a custom Rom on yet just want more theming control to start. Imo I don't want a pure senseless Rom as I do like sense

Nice wording man, I like the "yet" part... It's definitely an interesting community! Ever since I joined, I've installed Ubuntu on my Core i7 Dell laptop along with Android 4.0.1 on VirtualBox, I really hope to get involved in the dev community myself in the future.
Yeah I've been pressed for time but I've been wanting to learn how to develop for my HTC Flyer tablet and my Vivid. With the Flyer its creating a better stock launcher that interest me as with it being on honeycomb and support being cut off from htc, there aren't a whole lot of choices. For this phone its cleaning up the stock rom and allowing ics and Sense 3.6 to coexist in perfect harmony. No promises on anything yet

I don't consider my self a dev either...yet
But I do have some experience with the development on the Samsung infuse (which you can tell by my Sig)
I've been trying to mess with the stock rom for a while now with no luck...I just can't seem to get any apktool to work with stock ics of this device, and after a little research it seems sense 3.6 is the problem, but I have yet to find a solution
I've asked a few times for help on decompiling for the vivid but have gotten no response...I'm not trying to discourage you all i wanna get across is that if you have any success...please share the knowledge with me

Yeah htc makes someone nice devices but they aren't developer devices for sure. I'll let you know once I get involved in it what I can do might be why most flash the sense removed roms as its all or none.
Yeah overall I like sense 3.6 just hate the theme clashing. Good example is hitting the search button. All of a sudden your not using sense 3.6 anymore, your now using aosp android! I think I remember reading Google required a certain percentage of holo elements for market access, and I think htc kept that in mind in redesigning sense from the ground up with the one series. But when it came time to upgrade what they had they just basically ported 3.5 over and added a few ics features into the launcher. HTC claims that 4.0 is too different from 3.5 and earlier and previous users need familiarity but Imo if you've played with a one x its all pretty familiar. 3.6 overall was a bad call

My one major gripe with Sense is the lack of changing things. I'd like to be able to (without using LauncherPro) tell it "I want 5 columns, and 6 rows of icons, on top of the 5 at the bottom. (so a total of 7 rows of icons, 5 columns)"
It WORKS well, just see some photo's I've posted in recent days.

I hear ya, but thats all stock launchers including the google one. Sense 3.6 has some of the best customization for stock I've seen, but it still pales in comparison to say ADW EX, Go Launcher, or Apex.
alright...for the longest time ive been trying to use apktool with the "att stock ics for chefs or whatever" never had luck...today i decided to try apktool with an old download of 0.9 holics rom, to my surprise apktool works with it-i was able to install framework, decompile, recompile...it all worked!
so im wondering if maybe the stock ics wasnt properly deodexed, or maybe with holics rom something special was done? when i get the time im gonna try contacting bananacakes and see if maybe he can help me set up a stock base, or possibly use a stock base he may have laying around...ive tried making my own stock rom in the past from the RUU but got the same errors as the att stock rom for chefs...
