Hi all,
Loving my new M8 and my first HTC device since I had a HTC HD back in Windows 6.5 times Sense really has slimmed down since I last used it and in fact I found it quite strange that I get a more sense like feel with my Beautiful Widgets on my Home screen then I do with Sense 6. The only thing I don't like about Sense is the fact I can't change the Clock and weather widget on the Lockscreen but that's a minor annoyance at most. Also although up to now all my Android devices have been rooted and run custom ROMs so far i really am not seeing the need to do this on the M8 and really can't see any advantages to running even a GEP Rom but then that's just MO. Anyway here are my screens,
First off the Lock screen which only manages to show off my wallpaper.

My Home Screen using Beautiful Widgets for the day and date which when tapped takes me to my calendar and the time which when I touch the hour takes me to Gentle Alarm and the minutes takes me to G-Mail. BW is also the battery level indictor and tapping it takes me to the battery usage stats. I'm also using Screen Off and Lock for easy turning off of the device and the other Widget is for Gentle Alarm showing me my next Alarm and also takes me to the app by tapping it and lastly there is 3G Watchdog showing my Data use.

I have also left Blink Feed active for now whilst I decide if I will use and keep it or not the only other app worth really mentioning that I have installed is Rotate which I install on all my devices as it forces all screens and apps to work in Landscape when put in that position.
