[HTC Sensation] RoosterX:
I had a Zagg screen protector on my Desire for almost a year, at first it was quite unpleasant to use (rubbery?!)compared to the glass-screen, but after a while it got more 'slippery' and better to use, but i peeled it of my Desire eventually because i got tired of the glue-alike compound that was sweating out of its edges.

Other than that i can say as much as if i were to buy a screen protector i would not hesitate buy another Zagg.

I don't know how hard a Gorilla glass screen is, but as a watchmaker i know that you can scratch everything in the right environment, like sand can contain fragments that are harder than Sapphire glass on wrist watches.

+1 Never used them on my Gorilla glass devices...
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
Who said it was officially gorilla glass? I was told no, but the guy could have been wrong. They dont know much at the tmobile store.
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
It looks nothing like my galaxy s 4g which has a hefty coating and a smoother feel to it.
[HTC Sensation] enoch861:
Gorilla glass is scratch proof, not resistant. I have a mtg4g and by just looking at it, the thing has absolutely no scratches. Take a closer look at certain angles and man...you would be surprised the micro scratches you can find...

I still prefer a phone without a screen protector nevertheless.
[HTC Sensation] The_Green_Android_Robot:
I might put a screen protector on mine, but probably not.
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
Well. I took mine off and it feel/looks so much better. I dropped the hell out of my galaxy s 4g and the screen wasnt touched. The chrome trim piece was pretty banged up though. Dont waste your money on screen protectors. Just be a little more careful with your 600 dollar computer phone.
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
The screen protector will get swirls and scratches before the gorilla glass will. I use my shirt to clean my screen.
[HTC Sensation] mesajoejoe:
I had my Vibrant for 9 months no screen protector and tossed that phone all over the place, kept it in same pocket with keys and that phone was absolutely flawless, not a single scratch on it. I have had my Sensation for 2 weeks and this screen scratched up so easily I am flabbergasted. Not even just once either but several scratches for no apparent reason whatsoever, all at different times. First time I have ever had a screen get scratched : (
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
Just start saying something to gorilla glass about it. Im sure tmobile will let you return it before the return period expires.
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
Can anybody recommend a good protector? The way this screen is contoured it's gonna be a lot harder to get a protector on it that looks nice. (invisible is nice) I ordered 6 cheapo protectors, the first 3 were the full screen size and were impossible to get on without bubbles. THe next 3 were cut smaller so the curved edges were left naked, still didnt adhere properly. Couldnt get air pockets from returning, returned instantly after squeegee. I would use one if you cant tell its there. Otherwise it will be naked.
[HTC Sensation] hycian:
Forget about using any screen protectors if it has a gorilla glass.

On my Nexus One, it hasn't caught any scratches at all after a little bit more than one year of use, it doesn't even have any gorilla glass!
[HTC Sensation] Renarudo:
For me, it's not about scratches, but the finger smudges. Screen protectors greatly reduce that on my screens, and I don't like the feeling of just the glass under my thumbs.

Subsequently, I don't like the "orange peel" feeling of some of the cheaper protectors, nor the ones that feel like the sheets of plastic they are.

Ghost Armor has some excellent protectors, so I can't wait till they support the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
As gorgeous as this display on the Sensation is.....I'll still be putting a screen protector on mine. I've seen many phones with Gorilla Glass that have scratches...
[HTC Sensation] woldy2:
/rant/ damn it people...stop saying the MT4G has gorilla glass...IT DOESNT...has been discussed many many times...it DOES NOT have gorilla glass. /end rant/

seeing as my mt4g never had a protector on it, has been dropped a few times, and still is pretty clean (i dont see any scratches, but that doesnt mean that they arent there) i wont be putting a protector on the sensation when i get it.

I was on their website looking at this list when I read your post. I'm not trying to call you out, it just so happens that the timing was right. =)

note: it takes a little while for them to update their site which is why the sensation isn't on there yet.
[HTC Sensation] Chapell:
I don't think that Gorilla Glass' website is 100% percent accurate. I'm almost sure that Desire does NOT have gorilla glass. At least it has been scratched by my jeans' inner pocket without any keychains or anything in the first hour of use :D
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
My two cents on screens, scratches, and screen protector on the Sensation. First I do believe the Gorilla Glass is Scratch resistant and maybe almost scratch proof. But nothing is 100% scratch proof. There are materials and particles of sand, quartz, carbide, diamond etc which are much harder than the gorilla glass is and under the right condition could scratch it.

Now the fact is if you take good care of your device and keep it in a sleeve of some kind and not banging around bare in your pocket the chances are very slim you would scratch it.

I for one have never had one on my MT4G and never had a scratch. I will not be putting one on the Sensations beautiful screen either.

The bottom line when you pay this much money for a phone you have to do what you feel comfortable with to protect your investment.
[HTC Sensation] FenderGuy:
THE MT4G never had gorilla glass, I broke 2 of those screens from dropping them on carpet POS phone. I am getting the Sensation on Saturday after the mess I had with the MT4G I may end up getting a screen just for that fact
[HTC Sensation] hurrpancakes:
I had a samsung vibrant before my sensation, which has gorilla glass, and no protector on it. I dropped it on concrete without a case multiple times, without a single scratch on the screen, but some marks and scratches on the body. I won't be putting a screen protector on this phone.
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
You can clearly tell which phones have gorilla glass by looking at them and feeling them. They look and feel like a baked layer of super smooth protective glass. I havent seen any other type of screen with the same properties as gorilla glass. Very glossy too. I love these screens.
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
The one from the factory is to protect the phone while it's in shipping, it's hardly a legit screen protector. The tab on it "to pull it off" is the first clue.
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I purchased a pretty high-end screen protector for my Sensation on eBay, and due to the curved edges of our screens, it just didn't fit right. Also, the one I bought was anti-glare and anti-reflective (it didn't state this on eBay by the way) which just killed it for me. I want to see that beautiful qHD screen in all it's glory! I won't be wasting my money on another protector again, going full commando for now.
[HTC Sensation] DonJuan692006:
I've personally already ordered a skin for mine. I used nothing on the screen of my myTouch but kept a skin on it. With the skin wrapped around the phone it keeps the screen from hitting anything if/when I dropped the phone and the skin protected the rest.
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
When i bought my phone i specifically asked them if it had gorilla glass. They said no. I couldnt tell that the display model had a protector on it so i assumed that the screen just looked and felt that way. Tmobile then sold me screen protectors and put one on so i didnt even see my own screen without it. I didnt know it had gorilla glass until i looked it up and saw a thread, took my stupid protector off, and have been happy ever since. Damn tmobile.
[HTC Sensation] knights.JayTana:
Since dawn of Gorilla glass on phones, i no longer put Screen protector on them...
[HTC Sensation] :
Since the days of my N70, I've always used screen protectors. I used the sensation for 2 days without one but had some ordered already. I ordered the actual HTC ones and put one on. Honest, I can't even tell there's a protector on it. This is the highest quality protector I've ever seen in clarity. I've used lots of brands and was recently using a clarivue on my hd2.

I don't really think it needs a protector, but I like them just cause they keep the glass clean and the added protection. The htc one will form to the curves too.

---> These are the ones I ordered <---
[HTC Sensation] KSHAPE:
my Sensation screen is full of minor scratches now, even thought i only place in my empty pocket.
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
I would just use that as an excuse to get a new phone every month. If it continues to get scratched. Or write to corning gorilla glass. My SGS 4g doesnt have a single scratch on the screen and i dropped the piss out of that thing. On concrete. I clean my sensation with my t shirt and keep it in my pocket about 30 to 40% of the day and its spotless. Got a hard skin this time to better protect from drops. I got the slim black/grey two tone bodyglove case. Its thin but rigid and looks nice. Looks like a replacement body for the phone.
[HTC Sensation] iGoOsE76:

[HTC Sensation] mesajoejoe:
I as well had a Vibrant, and for me that screen was indestructible i swear it. Nothing i did to it scratched the screen. I am not gonna go on a rant or anything but i have done absolutely nothing different with this phone and the screen is scratching up horribly. I literally cannot believe it. I wish you the best of luck
[HTC Sensation] Caspertje19:
I mailed HTC about the gorilla glass and they came up with the following answer(in dutch) saying wich phones of HTC has actually gorilla glass:

De 4 HTC toestellen die geleverd worden met Gorilla glas zijn

* HTC Desire HD

* HTC 7 Pro

* HTC HD7

* HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] iGoOsE76:
Thanks for that info...
[HTC Sensation] jawang26:
Sensation DOESNT have gorilla glass

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list

Under HTC, sensation is not there... might explain why some people are getting scratches on their screens
[HTC Sensation] :
That list is not updated or something. This phone has gorilla glass. You can see lots of interviews and demos that show/say it has it.
[HTC Sensation] agentdax5:
It isn't updated. The Samsung Droid Charge has Gorilla Glass but it isn't listed either.
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
Once again, you can tell it has gorilla glass by looking at it. Gorilla glass screens dont look like any other screen. No scratches here and mine rides in my pocket.
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
I'll rock my phone naked. Never had any problems with my iPhone for two years and I never put a case or screen protector on it.
[HTC Sensation] williambs:
Might look at this one --> http://www.skinomi.com/htc-sensation-screen-protector.html
[HTC Sensation] kvaju:
I dont have even one scratch on my gorilla glass, SGS - using it for ~ 1month.

The only problem with this glass is, that is maybe a little not to smooth like iphone's like

somethimes fingers "stoped" when I slide over the screen, if u know what I mean (sorry for my english :P)
[HTC Sensation] ickster:
I really don't think it is Gorilla Glass. I got not one but three seperate scractches on my part time Sensation. All at once apparently. I baby the hell out of it. I have no idea how it scratched, but I know I had no dirt in my pocket. I honestly do not believe it is Gorilla glass.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
The Vibrant and the whole galaxyS line didn't show up on that list for at least 6 months, but it's on there now. It takes a while for them to update that list. Check back in a few months and you'll see.
[HTC Sensation] durps:
I havemultiple scratches my screen and don't know how they got there. Lame.
[HTC Sensation] :
HTC have changed their specs I swear! the original specs 100% stated the screen was Gorilla Glass! I have also been very careful (I carry it in a microfibre pouch, only my fingers touch the screen ever!) and the screen has scratches (looking under a bright light) extremely disappointing!
[HTC Sensation] frenchie746:
I just love how people on this board are so utterly misinformed. The MT4G as well as the sensation both have gorilla glass. The problem is people believe it is indestructible. You can and will scratch your gorilla screen if you don't properly protect it. Anyone who believes otherwise deserves to have their **** scratched.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:

I have my Sensation since 4-5 Months and never used a screen protector. I usually have it in my pants pocket (somedays with my keys) and it looks still like the first day. I didn't use any screen protector since I use HTC Phones and never had demaged my screen ;)
[HTC Sensation] asdfliuchen:
ohh, no .

it is not hard enough.

I think screen protecter
[HTC Sensation] jhobert:
Does this one is a pain in the as$ to put in like the other protectors where all the four corners tend to bubble or lift up due to concave glass screen?
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Same thing happened with me. But in my case, she scratched MY Sensation. But that's okay, I forgive her <3 :P
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
I somehow scratched mine, but was able to pretty much rub it out with chrome polish.
[HTC Sensation] sinergybg:
Gorilla is break proof, not scratch proof :)
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I got the Zagg booth girl to install Invisible Shield on my Sensation 5 minutes after I walked out of the store with it. No bubbles, no problems, fits perfectly up the curve in the glass pretty close to the edges. They do it all day long and I knew they would do it better than I could if I had ordered it from the Zagg site. No way will I go without a protector again. Gorillaglass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof, and I need to get 2 good years out of this phone. :D
[HTC Sensation] teomor:
Mine is scratched too, after only 1 week. I'm pretty sure this isn't the Gorilla glass I had on my Desire (which I never took care of and no scratches no nothing for 1.5 years). I will be installing a protector tomorrow. Can anyone tell me how the sunlight legibility will be affected, or the touch sensitivity?
[HTC Sensation] crazypotato:
There is a coating on the screen. It gets scratched up easily. The glass itself will only gets scratched on sands or harder material. If the scratches only show up when the screen is fog up, but not when it is clean. It is the coating. I don't know what coating it is. It looks like an anti-glare coating to me that HTC put on.

Just for the record here I would have given you credit for your post if had I even read it before now. This write-up came about mainly from posts on androidcentral.com and general searching from google about rooting. Had I known that your post was out there I would have used it and sighted to it but at the time I initially posted this how-to I did not have any idea regarding the secret code and had to wait for my phone to get the update to 2.2.2 so that I could run programs from unknown sources. You may have shared similar information at a similar time but I didn't not get my information from your post, I wish I had it would have made life easier.
[Desire Android Development] Sebby:
is this based on clockwork recovery 4.0.0.5
[Desire Android Development] m0narx:
I'ts based on AmonRA 2.2.1

Nice recovry but...

What about fat32+swap+ext4+ext4 option on sd partition? With that, we can only create 1 ext4 right?

Where can we download AmonRA V2.21?I am still running v2.01 on my desire.
[Desire Android Development] cfwan:
I never hear AmonRA v2.2.1 of Desire
[Desire Android Development] jeffreyljb:
Yep,me too,but here comes modified AmonRA2.2.1 version,what's up???It's only version number typo???:confused:
[Desire Android Development] theooo:
There's is no Amon Ra 2.2.1 for desire, last Amon Ra recovery built for desire by Amon Ra itself is 2.0.1, u can find this on his thread.

But in nexus one, Amon Ra have updated it to 2.2.1 since january. So what our dude m0narx doing here is he kindly compile it for us desire user :)

If u guys wanna know more about Amon Ra 2.2.1 here is the link

But imho i liked it too without background image or maybe simple background image :D
[Desire Android Development] jeffreyljb:
Got it,thank you for your reply:)

This just keeps getting better and better. Easy to insert your own "theme". Options are awesome. Keep up the good work.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Did you create ext4 with this recovery? Some old clockworkmod recoveries only back up in <ext 4. This causes issue with ext 4 where in some places it shows as <ext 4.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
just tested rc4

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

again recovery hangs after detecting rom as unknow even though its actively charging phone and adb devices report it is available

again i had to to fastboot erase system and fasboot erase cache to get the recovery to boot

restoring backup if fine and now its working correctly

must be something thats causing this hang
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Hi monarchX,

-what about support for MIUI ROMs?

All others, anyone managed to load this recovery with unRevoked 3.32?

Currently I have AmonRa 2.0.1.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
theoretically it should work but how will he know without anyone testing it?

you should try loading the recovery with unrevoked 3.21 if you are s-on as ive seen mixed results with 3.32
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Just flashed RC4 and it shows my EXT as EXT2 instead of EXT4(like it was showing on RC3 and as it should be).

Edit:

OK, converted my EXT to EXT4 via RC4 and it shows properly, i wonder now if the problem was with RC3 or RC4 coz i definitely converted it to EXT4 (on RC3)...
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Concerning testing, XavierJohn22, OP of the MIUI XJ said here it does not recognize MIUI ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15550822&postcount=8592

and also in this thread one of the guys confirms:

[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
I had MIUI (the miui-us version) and it recognized every version of it i had...
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Using MIUI XJ here, I'll try and repost.

EDIT:

when using unrevoked 3.21 in Linux, the tools says ok, all done, but the recovery still remains the same as I had.

EDIT 2:

with 3.32, it starts to load custom image, but after a reboot it says failed (is your firmware to new?)
[Desire Android Development] morgan39:
Good work

Wow m0narx¡¡¡¡ RC4 version works fine with Reflex; by the moment I did backup and restore and it worked without problem in Reflex rom, I'll try the others and I will say something about.

Thank you very much for your good and hard work :)
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Just updated to rc4. Backup worked without any problem on oxygen 2.1.6, which gets recognized. also like, the battery level is shown.

Keep up the good work!!!!
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
you are not using rom manager to boot to recovery are you?
[Desire Android Development] Meaple:
It sounds like jukyO is trying to flash the recovery through unrevoked when his phone is already rooted. Let me say that if he is doing it, then it will always fail.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
This is correct Meaple. I am already rooted on AmonRa 2.0.1 recovery. Phone has S-ON. How to load this recovery, is there a solution without being S-OFFed?

Also, I am not using ROM manager to boot to recovery, I am on MIUI, so I am doing it trough stock tool in ROM.

So, how to load custom recovery in my situation?
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
no it wont thats wrong completely, many people ive guided through installing a different recovery using unrevoked as long as you are using 3.21

it maybe that unrevoked method no longer works with this recovery but I know for a fact people have used it to switch from cwm to amonRA and viceverse

when you say "stock tool" are you referring to holding down power and clicking reboot > recovery or something else?

what happens if you power down completely, hold down back + power and select recovery?
