change launcher? - HTC Sensation XL

hey,
is it possible to replace the launcher on stock rom without installing a no-sense rom?

I got ADW EX Launcher installed and using it without any problems on non root. So yea you should be able to.

You can also install LancherPro, and get the free Sense widgets...
Then it can look a bit like Sense

Course. I will be getting sensation XL shortly I currently have sensation so will be looking to cook some ics themed roms. Search for cm9 launcher on xda its a great launcher from android 4.0

Also, Getjar are giving beautiful widgets away for free at the moent, so you can get a look similar to sense with all of the launchers..

Nope, that's a framework theming thing, not something that can be changed by a launcher.
Also, get Trebuchet launcher from CM9. It is much better than Nova.

not that i know of you will have to use a custom rom
Since we're talking launchers: I'm running the ICS update, still locked. I just installed Nova Launcher (not prime, just trying it out for now) and was wondering if there's a way to add the HTC clock widget to it? I don't see any of the HTC widgets listed when I'm running Nova launcher.
I'm guessing those can only be added when using the HTC Sense launcher?
Thanks,
-Brett.
Thanks for the help guys, can't wait for a stock ROM to run.

The main launchers I use are trebuchet and apex. They are much cleaner than nova in my opinion.

Yes you can only use those with the HTC Sense Launcher.
Honestly I like Nova better Trebuchet. It has twice the features of Trebuchet (on just the free version) and they look exactly the same.
Back on subject though StatusBar+ and Super Status Bar are the only notification bar replacement apps that I know of. I've only used StatusBar+ and its themed to look like WP7.
super status bar works but is still buggy but the dev does say it is a beta tried it for a little this afternoon if the bugs get worked out it will be a good program
You can use the UOT Kitchen to mod ur status bar. Ask Google for the link

Maybe you should give a try at Go Launcher Ex and apply kovdev's ICS theme (it is easy to find in the market). It themes dock, icons and wallpapers.
By changing the launcher you'll keep the Sense apps (dialer, messages, facebook, settings, ...), the statusbar and the lockscreen with its alert system. What will change is the dock, the app drawers and the desktop. Go Launcher is flexible, folders can be created in the app drawer and in the desktop (the desktop ones can include shortcuts and bookmarks).
Also, consider that by in launchers different than Sense you cannot have the HTC widgets.
Rosie can still be accessed by creating a shortcut with Anycut.
Okay, I accept with that the Go Launcher is a cool launcher application but as you said Sense widgets are not available.

There is no perfect solution yet, until we get a stable ICS rom. I found that I could live without Sense widgets, but I understand that it is a matter depending on taste and on how one uses his phone.
After buying my DHD I kept Rosie without trying to replace it for almost one year... until I discovered that with ADW Launcher I could get more than 4 x 4 icons per screen. That was so addictive that I never turned back
Later I left ADW for GO.
You should experiment until you find a setup that suits your needs, if you think Rosie is the place to be look up for themes for your ROM.

[Req] Customizable Sense 5 launcher?

First of all - I don't own the One (I have an HTC DNA) but I figured here would be the better place to post it since more people who could answer could see it. I am a complete stranger to this forum section, so if I do something that the people here in this forum are against, I apologize. Also, I'm not sure if this belongs here or in Q&A, so moderators please move if in wrong place.
Now to the actual question,
Is there such a thing as a Sense 5 based launcher that is more customizable? The features I am wanting is things like disabling widget padding, disabling margins, overlapping widgets, and changing app icons/labels. If you don't understand what I am saying, I'll use an anolagy. Apex/Nova is to AOSP launcher, as what I'm asking about is to Sense 5.
All answers are greatly appreciated.

No. But viper Rom lets you customize the stock sense launcher more than HTC intended.

But can you use those modifications on another ROM? I'm interested it Elliptic ROM for my DNA (which was ported from the One, so you may be familiar with it), and I want to know if there is a way to use these Viper features on the DNA.

There are several mods (at least for the DNA) that do this. I am sure there are some for the One.

Do you mean the app switcher? Viper and several other ROMs have an option for the AOSP app switcher.

Could you just pull the prism.apk from the viper launcher? I'm actually curious to know if doing that would work to get the viper sense 5 settings in another ROM, say ARHD for instance..

Which Launcher are using for your HTC One?

Also what's your favorite or current theme? Thought would be interesting to know what everyone is using. I've not yet tried any on my HTC One -I got it recently anyway!

Next Launcher. It's expensive (half price right now I think) but I really love it. The Go Team must be making a bundle but they keep the upgrades coming and are responsive to issues so it's well worth to me.
