Well, for a start, you can place program shortcuts or widgets where ever you like on those 7 screens, so depending on your choice, you either have no swipes, or a maximum of 3. Also, on the Legend and Desire at least, you don't have to swipe. You can pinch to show all 7 screens, and tap the one you want to jump right to it.

You also have far greater control over what widgets you have, and don't even have to use HTC's own widgets if you don't want to. There's no xml file to hack around in to change your layouts either, just drag and drop. This alone makes it far superior to the WM version of SenseUI.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Manicmobileaddict:
Finally, some good info

Now that's pretty good news. I'm not sure how many widgets are available in winmo now (I know there are some new ones from mods I think), but I have wished it was as easy as downloading an app.

you know, titanium was like sense on winmo, just ass backwards. You swiped/dragged up and down (the long way) to get to your widget (or panel) and then left and right in that panel.

I want the best of both worlds, windroid.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FloatingFatMan:
The only limitation is on available screen real estate. Yes, there are full screen widgets available.

The problem with adding extra widgets in winmo Sense was that I just found a lot of them hack jobs and not very well put together; this is especially true for Titanium widgets. They often needed extra things to be installed such as MortScript just to do things like getting weather forecast; and in a lot of cases, involved having to hack DLL's to get decent levels of customization. They certainly weren't for the average user who just wanted some neat widgets.

I've been a WinMo user since Orange released their first HTC made Smartphone, the C100 or C200 I think it was? Years ago anyway. I've had an Android phone for 1.5 weeks now, and I'm not missing WinMo in the slightest.

Thanks dune fan.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] trevorwhopkins:
coming from a tp2 i can tell you about the comparisons.

Try the android sense. it appears different... but not really just adapted. On WM there is only one home screen, hence the tabs. but what are the tabs? home, email, contacts, programs, texts, internet....

well on android sense, like you said each screen is extremely customizable...

but stock sense has it organized just like windows mobile. each home screen is filled with a full page widget of... email, texts, social networking, news, weather etc just like wm. except it needs no hacks to change... if you dont li ke the 'tab' or homescreen... just throw it in the trash and load whatever you want.

So, since I loved Sense on my TP2... mine is set up like this. home screen has the exact weatherclock wm has, with a few shortcuts to most used programs. then one screen is texts, one screen is facebook which works aloooot better in android, one screen is a bunch of programs, one screen is emails. the rest I dont really use.

And the HTC keyboard is EXACTLY the same as the WM one, except it never lags, and word correction is easier but looks the same.

The Sense Dialer on Android is, to me, much superior. I hated the n1 dialer bc like Iphone your always scrolling through abc order to find a name. My new superphone took ten times as long to quickly call my friend. But when i loaded the Desire ROM on my n1, the dialer is now almost exactly like the WM one, except it has some more functionality built in.

Honestly I think HTC gave up on WM's Sense, and used it just to bring parity but spent most time developing the Android version. Try it. some people dislike it, but anyone who like the WM version, like me, will be instantly at home. It was like I bought an HD that never lagged or crashed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] emmarbee:
I hate to tell this being the OP.

I don't feel like I want the WinMo Sense UI anymore. I was just obsessed with it. And after seeing many Android Sense UI, I feel like the android one's are more user friendly.

What's more shame one me (being a WinMo fanboy) is the fact that, after seeing the videos of Legend and Desire I kinda started liking Android 2.1. It all began with the Google Nexus One. Now HTC has perfect 2.1.

I very well realize that Android has a lottt of catching up to do, to where WinMo is now, but still

Now that I'm more inclined towards android 2.1, why should I go to a phone without Super AMOLED?

Everything is okay with I9000 Galaxy S. Except for few shortcomings...

A) It doesn't have SENSE UI. But I guess it won't be a problem. Won't you guys help me in porting senseUI to I9000?

B) It doesn't have flash. (What? No flash??)

C) The design looks awful. Both the hardware and software is a cheap replica of iphone - shame on Samsung.

If only there was a HTC phone with super AMOLED display, I can make a decison super quick!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rovex:
The HD2 sense is nicer in some ways than the Android sense. The picture tab is MUCH better than any of the android ones, sense or 3rd party. The coverflow music tab is also much better. I also think the winmo version is faster, and you just get stuff done faster. The Android one is more customisable though, no doubt about that, although winmo has any number of android like interfaces you can use instead, that are just as flexible.

Id just be happy if android sense had those lovely flowing music and picture tabs.

There is no doubt that just to show off to friends winmo sense gives a better first impression, and certainly gets more 'ooos and ahhhs'.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Manicmobileaddict:
still think I like winmo sense

Without having used Android sense yet I still think I'm leaning towards thinking it is set up better on winmo. I used to use ultimate launch on winmo which in a sense (no pun intented) is like android in that I had multiple screens (more than android actually) and I got tired of swiping.

It did also have the capability of having tabs (to touch) for each screen like touch flo, but only allowed for so many (if set up to finger friendly sizes) to be visible on the screen at a time.

I know you only see 5 on the screen in winmo, but as you swipe right the whole bar moves left therefore decreasing the distance you have to swipe, utlimately covering the whole bar in just the distance of the width of the screen (does that make sense? no pun intended again).

I know there are a limited number of winmo sense tabs right now, but it seems more are being developed including one for plugins which I like (not just for nostalgic reasons) and the ability to have one for the original winmo home page as well (I think 6.0-6.5 on both of those tabs). You can also run touchflo outside of the today screen with touchflo detacher or second today.

With Android I know you can put shortcuts on each screen and easily it seems not to mention anywhere you like I think, but that doesn't mean a whole lot to me as I like a structured look.

What that means to me is you have 7 (5 without sense) more screens just like the apps launcher screen you get when you swipe up from your home screen. That actually is very similar to sense on winmo except on winmo you have your all programs screen when you touch the start button and 5 (I think) more when you swipe the links up on your home screen. 6 of one and half a dozen of the other I guess.

On Android if you want full screen widgets you're are limited to 7 (5 without sense) while on winmo there are somewhere around 15 or more (I think), however that is if you like what's available while on Android I understand there are lots to choose from.

As far as accessing an app on either of these goes (if it is not a favorite whose shortcut is on your home screen or a click/swipe away) I like using touch launch which I keep on a softkey on my home page. It lists apps alphabetically and has the alphabet on the side so you just touch a letter and it scrolls to those apps. If nothing else fun to watch.

Like I said, 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. Apparently it all boils down to preference. To each his own. For me, I guess I just really like the touchflo tab bar in winmo sense, but because I'm long over due for an upgrade and I really want the best complete hardware package available and the wimax service I will become an android user soon.

HTC's OS

I'll tell ya what I am looking forward to is HTC's own OS. It's coming. I wonder if they will call it Sense. Just look at what they did with both Winmo and Android. Just think about what they'll do when they're not restricted to another OS.

[HD2 General] ahirshfield:
Just to assist anyone who is maybe holding out for the higher spec model outside of the USA - some insider non-news for you from the horses mouth:

QUESTION:

Dear HTC,

Are any of the UK mobile networks now providing the new version of the HTC HD2 that was recently released to T-Mobile USA (namely 'HD2b').

I believe this is physically identical except for the 1GB ROM instead of 512MB on the existing UK/Europe spec devices.

Do HTC envisage that this new spec device would generally replace the lower version once existing UK stock is sold through? Or are HTC genuinely continuing to manufacture two subtly different specs of the same device for Europe and USA regions until it is end-of-life.

Your time and advice would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Adam R. Hirshfield

Information Systems Security Senior Specialist - Networks

T-Mobile (UK) Ltd.
​

RESPONSE:

Dear Adam

Thank you for contacting us.

In regards to HD2

I can help you with that.

The uk will continue to get the original model as released the other version you mentioned was negotiated for one of our partners and was specific for them. It is a bit like the G1 only being available on t-mobile

I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

Thank you for contacting HTC.

Best regards,

HTC
​

So there you have it. Unfortunately it's not news to be T-lighted about - Sorry.

Either emigrate to the States, jump-in with the existing spec UK/Euro model, move on to a Desire or await (ages) for the GSM version of the EVO. My personal preference would be in that exact order.

Though the HD2 vs. Desire is quickly becoming a very tough decision. WinMo vs. Android debates aside, so thinking hardware only; The Desire's AMOLED display is gorgeous and it really is quite sizeable. It's exactly the same resolution, and colour and brightness really are superior on this one. But it is never as impressive in sheer scale of the HD2's wicked monolithic screen.

Arrrgh maybe that's why we have two pockets?...

All the best XDA-devs,

Hirshy
[HD2 General] wazaaappp:
I don't really know what to do now either... But definitely not desire I can't downgrade the screen would be such a massive difference, rest of hardware seems really competitive though. I quite fancy the Evo but is not even annouced to UK. Is a tough decision, no doubt :( I can upgrade to Iphone through vodafone, but that'd be the last thing I'd do, and definitely not WP7S. Anyone can clarify xd...

[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] Vik Vasilev:
I have the same problem. I bought myself an 8gb SDHC card, not knowing that my device wouldnt recognize it.

Has anyone, yet, found a way to run sdhc on the HTC Wizard? I saw a lot of comments that this isnt a hardware problem, but software, and still none of them saying an exact way to do it, or if its impossible. ...

I`m using the MSD WM6.5 Rom

someone said that one of the ways to enable sdhc on ur device is to install a rom that supports it - is there one for the wiza?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] xmarkom:
i've found the problem.

It is "hardware" thing, probably sdhc are bigger by ~ 0,5 mm and you must try couple of times to put card the right way.

By the way, you also need Artemis sdhc driver (cab file).

Can’t wait to get your hands on Sprint (NYSE: S)’s upcoming WiMAX-capable HTC EVO 4G? Are you looking to take it the extra step and actually code Android apps for the power-packed smartphone formerly known as the HTC Supersonic? Well, you’re in luck. Sprint has just released their HTC EVO 4G Developer’s Guide to help third party Android devs build out applications for the handset ahead of its launch later this year. The guide should give some insight into how to take advantage of the EVO’s high-end features – the WiMAX radio, the secondary camera, and of course the HDMI-out port.

The EVO 4G will already come pre-loaded with customized versions of the Qik and Layar Android apps, which take full advantage of the phone’s capabilities. But, that’s not going to be enough to satisfy the legions of Android fans who will be flocking to the smartphone for its multimedia prowess. To that end, Sprint is looking to spark development for what will likely turn out to be their hottest phone of 2010. The only question is, will the forward-facing camera be used for video conferencing?

Find the Sprint HTC EVO 4G Developer’s Guide in its entirety here.

[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Is this an effect of using Advanced Home Tab? or the updated version of Manilla it requires? I notice that it doesn't have the AM or PM text in the "one digit" clock. Does it also disable the ability to go into World Clock/Menu and selecting 24-Hour Format. I'm guessing it's not that easy and you've tried that already though. This might be better asked in the HD2 Themes and Apps section. Good luck.
