your thoughts on running without sense....

[rem_kujawa]

So I have turned off sense a few times and have noticed that there are apps and widgets that are installed on the launcher pages that I do not have when running sense. Are this some of the things that keep popping up in my system panel? and should I delete all of them so that the launcher home screens are blank? I do not plan on not running sense.

let it be.

ok, I was just curious.

I am getting more and more curious to try native android.

If you're going to run without Sense, I'd recommend you try either LauncherPro or ADW.Launcher as replacements. In addition to giving you landscape support on your home screens, they provide a lot of customization and other cool options.

The only real drawback is that you can't use the HTC widgets.

Here's how I have my home set up with Launcher Pro.

that's pretty cool thanks for the reply.

will removing sense improve the snappiness of the evo. i have been wanting to try it the stock android. but i really like htc sense. but i would sacrifice for speed or battery.

hey how did you change to the gray icons

Hey Blubble, i am going with Launcher Pro too at the moment. What clock/weather widget is that, Fancy Widget?

This is my Launcher Pro main Home screen. I would like a small weather widget like the htc one but I haven't had any luck.

Oh and thanks for the images Blubble. I didn't realize Launcher Pro did landscape!!!

Does removing Sense make the battery life better?

 

[Shadnic]

I'm also curious as to whether or not removing sense would make the evo snappier. Like I've seen the stock android app menu scroll faster in videos than the sense one...but I don't have an evo yet to test it out

hey what are you using for your calendar widget thats awesome.

Launcher Pro looks like something I would consider... Definitely want to hear some more feedback about the speed and battery life without Sense though.

I tried turning off sense and using launcher pro. My issue was that I missed the big news and friendstream widgets enough to keep turning sense back on.

Without those huge page filling widgets, I really have no use for 7 home screens - in which case I felt like I was just turning off functionality of my phone for no real reason.

I suppose if I tried hard enough I could probably find some cool widgets in the android market place to replace those. But I sort of get the feeling that there isn't anything quite as good as the stock HTC ones.

Input?

Yeah I hear ya I love how snappy launcher pro is but I have 0 cool widgets on my homescreens I want the ones that the op posted but can't find them

Beautiful widgets, it's in the market and I think it's like $1.99. It has a bunch of different themes you can use for your clock and they have some that look like the HTC clock/weather widget.

That is Smooth Calendar. It is available in the Market. Or just scan this with Barcode Scanner.
