Thunderbolt/Sense features

[leehblanc]

I don't see a thread similar to this one, so here goes:

Since I had to get rid of my EVO way back in June I've been chasing the HTC Sense high. I've used Beautiful Widgets to get the clock, and Launcher Pro to get the FriendStream and Favorites widgets (Launcher Pro Plus has VERY similar widgets). Does anyone know much about the new sense (Calling Black_Man_X!!)? Specifically:

I know we will be able to move homescreens. We've seen this demonstrated on the various videos on YouTube. Will we be able to re-size widgets ala Launcher Pro and (ugh) Blur? I like the "Favorites" widget and the ability to set default contact actions, but it takes up a whole screen. It scrolls if you have more than 9 contacts anyway, so it would be nice to shrink it to 6 and have space for a few more icons on that page.

Any chance there is another great Launcher Pro feature here... the ability to wrap around. For instance, if I am on the last screen on the right in LP, I can swipe to the left and it wraps to the first screen on the left.

Thanks for any info!

No new info but I'll keep my eyes open. Saw a cool video for GB sense on phandroid.

YouTube - HTC Sense 2.1 (Gingerbread) Overview

It will be nice to have sense replace all the apps and widgets we use on moto's phone's just too keep up with HTC. (i use all of the same things you do).

The new version of Sense has several different size options for all of their widgets, including the "favorites" widget you are talking about. Some are still 9x9, but several options also allow for the scrollable 3x3 that you are looking for. Here's an example:
