[Desire General] neoKushan:
It's definitely a tough choice for me. I think I can get used to not having Sense's home screen, but as I'm new to Android, I'm nervous about ditching sense entirely in case there's some amazing background feature that I use all the time without realising it lol
[Desire General] tuatha:
I reckon we'll see an update from HTC sooner than people think.

But having said that, if it takes longer than a couple of weeks I'll be ditching the stock software...
[Desire General] thebarsteward:
If Froyo gives me Apps2SD I will move straight away regardless of my preference for the Sense UI
[Desire General] benko286:
I love HTC Sense but Flash support and speed improvements are more important for me :)

I hope HTC will be fast this time ;)
[Desire General] Jakka:
Can't remember the source, but apparently someone from HTC stated that Sense 2.2 would be out in a month at most due to how similar 2.1 and 2.2 are and because of the non-existent hardware issues as opposed to Hero and weaker 1.6 phones. If it takes longer than that and/or if someone comes up with an easier root method for Desire (it's probably a lot easier than it looks but I can't be bothered with live cd's as of yet) I'm definitely switching to Android 2.2 until HTC hurries up.

EDIT: Just remembered - Seeing how Droid Incredible was just released and HTC Evo 4G is coming out in over a month, there's no way that HTC will settle for their flagship US superphone to recieve just 2.1. Expect 2.2 released unusually quickly.
[Desire General] neoKushan:
You don't NEED a live CD to root the desire, I did mine entirely from within Windows 7 64bit.
[Desire General] Jakka:
Hmmm, awesome. Will look into it at some point.
[Desire General] neoKushan:
Yeah the only thing to keep in mind with Win7 (x64, at least) is that the .bat files supplied with Paul's r4 hack don't anticipate Win7 taking a few seconds longer to recognise the device. By simply having a delay between some of the commands, it worked perfectly for me.
[Desire General] oursoul:
This ^ but I'll give them a month.
[Desire General] eesmm:
I think (hope) that since the Desire is mostly a Nexus One inside the update will be pretty swift...

...Unless HTC decide to throw in some improvements to the Sense layer, or must do some changes to the core of Sense required by the new OS...

I'm not sure. I think I will give them a month after the first custom ROMs become available.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I want 2.2 with HTC sense. Can't we have it all?
[Desire General] poldie:
I've only ever used a Desire, so I have no idea what the difference is between a regular Android OS and a Sense one. In addition to those two options there's also what Orange UK has done to my phone. Stupid things, by all accounts - removing Google Talk but leaving the service running; installing apps I can't remove and which take up valuable space (and which I could download for myself if I wanted them); breaking the browser so when I zoom in/out it doesn't reformat the text, etc etc. And because Orange and HTC are going to want to pollute my phone with all their crap it means I'm likely going to see 2.2 released in 4 days, but be unable to use it until July or whenever HTC/Orange have finished defiling it.
[Desire General] XDA mark:
I think Froyo will be coming to the HTC Desire pretty fast. And the reason is the full flash support.

HTC promised that we would get full flash soon after we bought our desire's.

Anyway, if I had to choose between what we have now (2.1 and sense) or 2.2 stock.. I think I would stick with sense. We do not know what 2.2 will bring yet, so I could change my mind.

I am just assuming that HTC will bring froyo fast and we will get the best out of both worlds.
[Desire General] petz79:
Does anybody know of a list of programs/changes that Sense brings to Android? My Desire is my first Android phone and I have no idea what exactly is part of Android and what's been added by HTC Sense. I understand that programs like Friendstream were added by HTC, but what about the widgets or the multiple screens?
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
guys I have used a 2.1 Android phone without Sense. I found it very plain compared to sense. The most obvious difference was the widget list is only a few items compared to the widget list on sense which is quite big. The widgets on sense are prettier too, calender, clock etc. There is 5 screens versus 7 available. The helicopter view is gone on normal android. the browser doesn't reflow. I think android is awesome, but its more a framework, a scaffolding, rather than an entire user experience. I guess that suits some people more than others, but I am totally sold on sense. love it. And the nexus one people I have showed my phone to really liked it too.

just found this guys post on google forums

"I don't want the whole Sense UI running, just the HTC (Desire) stock widgets. As people have managed to get the HTC keyboard running on the Nexus One, so I think it should be possible to get the HTC widgets running in a similar fashion. The bundled widgets in the Nexus One, especially the clock widget are too plain, and I've been unable to find any widgets in the Android Market which even get close to the HTC bundled widgets in terms of aesthetic appeal."
[Desire General] vlasac:
Since Froyo+Sense will come eventually, I don't see why bother to reinstall and reconfigure all applications and settings for Froyo, and then do that all over again few weeks later when Sense version comes.

And it is always wise to wait few weeks after release to see if there is any problems with new version.

But then again, it there are no guys which install on first day, who would give such informations? :)
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Android widgets: analog clock, calender, music, picture frame, power control, search, youtube, facebook.

HTC widgets that come with Sense UI(including all of the above default android ones): Bookmarks, Calender(HTC one), clock(HTC one), footprints, friendstream, mail, messages, music (HTC one), news reader, people, photo album, photo frame, search, stocks, sync all, twitter, weather.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
vlasac.. I totally agree. I think I'll just wait for 2.2 sense. I just hope it comes within 8 weeks of the android release of 2.2. Hope so. :)
[Desire General] nicelad_uk:
I will miss Sense, but I will put up with Home ++ or HelixLauncher etc until Sense is released (if its released) for Froyo. The advantages of Froyo much outweigh Sense IMO
[Desire General] pikubik:
I have military service in June and July, so full Flash support is my only hope to get at least a few live pictures from the FIFA World Cup. I don't expect HTC to release a Froyo ROM in that time window, so I don't really have a choice, do I? :D
[Desire General] poldie:
...and another 8 weeks for Orange to screw it up...
[Desire General] Lukehluke:
I want both.

I want HTC Sense UI and 2.2 :D
[Desire General] javierga:
Sense?

I was using modaco's n1 sense cooked rom and it was bliss. I'm sorry, but those geniuses at Google seem to be good for a lot of stuff, but not generating great ui's.

But still GPS and BlueTooth aren't really working and I really need those two going flawlessly. Whith my broken heart I'll have to say goodbye for now to Sense...
[Desire General] Bl@ck:
i really want to try a naked froyo rom to build up my interface, sense ui is great but they give you everything you need, there's so little space to customization.
[Desire General] RiotRick:
You will have to look a bit further then. Most widgets have perfectly comparable versions that can run without sense. Se this for example: ht tp://ww w.appbrain.com/app/com.fancywidget.android Hard to spot the differences, right?

Same goes for the pinch to zoom on the homescreens. If you take a launcher like Launcher Pro ht tp://ww w.androidcentral.com/android-launcherpro-beta-now-available-market[/url] can get the same expose like preview without sense.

I have both a sense and launcher pro config running on my desire. Tbh the experiences on both launchers are very similar. So I would be going for a froyo custom rom as soon as it's available. The only thing that will hold me back is the current usb bricking problem.
[Desire General] tuatha:
Get it while you can. Something tells me these gentlemen could soon be the target of a cease and desist order from HTC.
[Android Themes] Drakknar:
Hey guys,

here are some mods I made for the Smooth Calendar Widget by Carl Cedergren on my Nexus One to match HTC Sense and Android Eclar Black styles.

I hope you enjoy em :)

All credits goes to the original dev.

Apk and screenshots below :)

Smooth Calendar (Sense Skin):

Download (0.9.7.2)

Download (0.9.9.8.3)

Smooth Calendar (Android Eclar Black):

[Android Themes] Infinite76:
Nice. so does this work for all 2.1 ROMS or just N1 ROMS?
[Android Themes] Ace42:
-Nexus one only, diff in screen res makes in unusable on other devices

-Vanilla 2.1
[Android Themes] Drakknar:
To be honest I don't know... For sure it will works on 800x480 devices, but the original Background image I skinned is 320x100 px, so it may be aswell resolution aware and scaled to adapt to any resolution. I checked the Smooth Calendar entry on the market and there's no sign of requirements nor limitations. Some of the reviewers seem to have N1, Droid, G1, myTouch, BH2, Milestone, CLIQ...
[Android Themes] Ace42:
You see I thought that was that actual cam app from a N1 rom, that's why i said that.
[Android Themes] Drakknar:
My bad, sorry.

The lack of details in my message and the screenshots taken directly from my N1 could have been misleading. I changed my first post so that now everything should be ok :)
[Android Themes] SG_Shadow:
Fantastic!

Works just fine on my G1 running cyanogen mod 5 (test 5). This is just the type of calendar widget I was looking for. Thanks for the post and thanks to the dev!!!
[Android Themes] Drakknar:
Anytime man, I'm glad you like this mod :)
[Android Themes] fredxclaus:
loving this!!!!
[Android Themes] jolaren:
Loving it.

I'd be forever grateful if you perhaps could add one who's all black? Cuz the "black" one here is not all black, but some strange color in the top
[Android Themes] jmattp:
I installed the Eclair "black" one on my Motorola Droid. The eclair theme isn't black anyway, it's more of a dark grey, so I think it matches perfectly. The widget does have visible lines between the last two shades as it get darker towards the right of the widget. Maybe that's because it's on a Droid?

I would attach a screen shot or a link for reference, but I can't.

Otherwise, I love what you've done with it. My one gripe about Smooth Calendar was that it didn't match the other stock Android widgets. This totally fixes that problem. Thanks for your work.
[Android Themes] syfo:
I get a chopped off icon, any idea why, it happens with the original skin too, I'm on a unrooted desire
[Android Themes] Drakknar:
Hey :) The black skin is intended to match the dark grey-ish look and feel of Android Eclair. Probably I should have called it in a different way cuz the name is somehow misleading. Right now I'm quite busy with my university exams, but if I should have any spare time I'll create a new black skin. Would you like a 100% opaque black or black with some transparency?

Hmm... To be honest I didn't noticed those lines, I'll check my original photoshop file and I'll search for those lines and fix em :)

Sorry mate, can't help with this. It's probably an app-related issue and I suggest you to contact the author to report the problem.
[Android Themes] havr69:
Thx you very much, it works good on my 1.6 and 2.1 galaxy roms
[Android Themes] niscrome:
Like this mod. Keep up the good work.
[Android Themes] wedjohn57:
tried this mod on cyanogenMod's desire froyo. but it doesn't work.

so i mod myself. works great on cyanogenMod6-RC1 for desire.

[Android Themes] owziee:
Awesome! Please can you make the sense version also work on Froyo? I prefer the transparency :)

[HD2 General] rr5678:
I'm an owner of a T-Mobile Touch Pro2, and I'm looking to get an HD2. Before I purchase it, I wanted some opinions on this phone.

Does it run smooth? (doesn't have to-I did own a T-Mobile Wing :p)

Is it worth the $400?

Is there anything I should be warned about?

I'm thinking of having is as a second phone so I can toy around with my TP2 :p
[HD2 General] CamelKnight:
Does it run smooth? (doesn't have to-I did own a T-Mobile Wing )

Answer: Yes! It runs smoother then any phone I've ever had. It keeps amazing me every day and, if that sort of thing gets you off: it also amazes your friends :) I can't even begin to count the number of times ppl have said to me they though it was awesome and the screen was so big.. (also a great phone if you have to make up for something in the mid regional department ;))

Is it worth the $400?

Answer: I got it with my 2 year contract for (almost) free. I'd say this is a question which depends on the amount of cash you bring in each month. If it's a multitude of 400, then yes. If you're having trouble to purchase even the basic stuff, like an internetconnection and pr0n, then no, this is not a device for you.

Is there anything I should be warned about?

Answer: prepare to be amazed :P

There's a great community here to help you out and to provide with custom ROM's if the phone starts to bore you a bit or you just want more from it. Other then that, nope, nothing to be warned about (except maybe for the massive amounts of time you'll be playing with it...)
[HD2 General] eenbox:
You should get the phone - I had MDA before before going to Nokia for couple of years - now I am proud to have HD2 as EVERYONE who sees it is amazed by it...
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
I just got my HD2 and I was upgrading from the TP2. I was concernen that I wouldn't like not having a keyboard but so far I love this phone. I mean, all I do is text, but the responsiveness and giant screen makes up for the slower typing.
[HD2 General] jcp2000:
i say its worth it i havent had real problems with it and it runs well.

i have one for sale that has a cracked digitizer it just needs to be replaced and it will be like new. It still operates fine it fell from a coffee table face down on tile and i do not have the time to fix it myself let me know in a private message if you are interested
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cliffhaas:
Hi Guys,

I have a copy of the Sprint Nascar APK successfully installed on my Nexus One. When I launch the application it shows a splash screen stating that this is limited to use by Sprint Subscribers. My N1 is on T-mobile. Is there a way to make this run on T-Mobile? My youngest son is an aspiring racer and we are at the track on Sundays so having this run would give him the chance to stay in touch with his favorite Nascar driver while we are at our own local track.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
First try http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/42360-sprint-nascar-app-unlocked.html

otherwise try posting a link to the apk to speed this up ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ngo8:
I WANT I WANT I WANT man if they can make this work it would be the greatest thing ever .:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] carhigh:
This used to work on my tilt 2 but now im on the hd2 and just tried the app and am getting the same message as the OP

EDIT ok, i didnt realize this wasnt a WM topic. Disregard me :)

See, sometimes search is bad !! :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chopes:
Bump +1. Love to see this working
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OG:
Can we do it for the NFL Application as well? I love FootBall and have to follow Da Bears when the season starts again. Thanks foos! =]
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RivenSky:
Hey someone said if the APK was uploaded it might speed things along. I've uploaded the APKs I have.

Would really love to get this working on my N1 with T-Mobile. Thanks!

There is already a Verizon Football app that works with T-Mobile. Just search the Nexus One forums.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chopes:
Hrm... Sprint TV would have the same sort of lock behind it would it not?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] slowz3r:
If thats possible, that would be AMAZING! i will give E-hugs to whoever finds/accomplishes this
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Lightning N1:
Nascar ANYONE ???

Is there anyone working this??? If they can unlock the NFL app then maybe there is still a shot that the non sprint people could get this for the last part of the season. lt would be great for the Chase.:confused:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LorcanXDA:
Hey Guys,

I'm trying to setup my Exchange Server 2010 for Active Sync with my O2 XDA Diamond 2 (HTC Touch Diamond 2 bought at O2 Germany). Synchronization without SSL works just fine, but since I don't like my Login to be sent in clear text, I'm trying to setup SSL support, and that's where the problems started. Since I'm using my own CA the certificates issued aren't recognized as trustworthy. This applies to the SSL-certificates too.

When I try to install my own root-cert. on the device (by dubble-clicking on the cert) it says "Certificate successfully installed", but when I take a look into the cert.-store it has only been installed as "Zwischenzertifizierungsstelle" not as "Stamm/Root". I've been searching for hours now, but I can't come up with a resolution. Even tried to copy the registry keys under HKCU\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\ but had no success either.

Hope someone can help me with my problem cause I really don't want to spend money for those expensive certs just for private use.

Cheers and keep up the good work!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Try this cab, should disable certificate warning.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LorcanXDA:
Thanks for the hint, but as far as I know those are only the certificates for unsigned apps. Didn't have any problems with that yet, thank you anyway.

Maybe O2 locked the root certificate store. Anybody knows something about that? Especially how to unlock the store without HardSPL?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muleguy:
I know this topic is kind of frowned on, but bear with me, I'm doing it for legitimate purposes.

I just picked up a used sprint CDMA hero for use on my Carolina West plan. I rooted the new hero, put it in diag mode so that I could manipulate it with CDMA workshop 3.5 and Qxdm. My wife has a Carolina West Hero, so I was able to pull the PRL off of it and load it to my Sprint Hero. I also copied all of her NAM and EVDO settings to my phone and set my MSL/SPC to match Carolina West's, while giving it my phone #.

At this point, the phone's pretty much provisioned for Carolina West. So, I take it to one of their retail stores and they refuse to add the ESN to their database although its common practice with other carriers like Verizon.

I already have a data package for WAP browsing on my current phone, so I thought I'd try to change the ESN/MEID on the hero just to see if I could get it to work. Not hurting or defrauding anybody.

As I stated earlier, I used my licensed copy of CDMA workshop to change all of the EVDO, NAM, MSL, etc. However, it fails every time I try to change the ESN or MEID. I also read up on QXDA. As with CDMA workshop, I can read/change Nam stuff etc. but when I go to the Memory Viewer, all of the information on the screen is greyed out and the only address I can access is 0x00400000. And, since it returns all 0's for everything, I don't think it is actually reading the phone's memory.

Without discussing any legal implications, can someone please share ideas with me as to why CDMA Workshop and QXDA can't access the phone's memory even though they are supposed to be able to?

Thanks a million guys, I've learned more here so far than every other phone forum put together.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenny:
Only thing I can think of is restarting computer / phone...

I wouldn't be posting anything about this stuff on this site, I'm sure if you googled meid and hero you'd find a site that is a bit more accepting of this stuff. ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muleguy:
I had already thought of that. I restarted the computer and both phones several times. For a "control group" I also tried to see if I could read the memory on the other Hero. Neither will allow it (in either CDMA workshop or QXDM).

Do you think flashing to an earlier software revision would do me any good? The sprint one is at 1.56.651.2 and pri 1.70_003. The other one is running something newer and proprietary (much like what I've read about Cellsouth, Bluegrass, Appalachian, Alaska, etc.).

Actually, this is the most accepting forum I've found so far. Thats why I chose this forum to ask. This is where I found most of my research on ESN/Meid.

If you have any suggestions of somewhere else to look/ask please post...or shoot me a PM.

I also did alot of reading at Howard Forums, Mobile Files, CDMA gurus, etc. but the information on the subject was really more clear and coherent here.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centran:
This forum is just more accepting because a mod hasn't come across your post yet. There are too many sections and most of the sections do not have individual mods for that section only. So it is a bit harder to police.

Anyway... you can try searching google for "esn repair" rather then "change esn". Unfortunately we can't help you any further. I only know the basics and not the details of the programs since I never had a reason to do that. There might be 1 or 2 people on these forums who could truly help you.

However, no one can post anything more because it would mean a ban and this thread deleted. Even though you have a good reason to do so, changing your esn is illegal and almost any forum out there will strictly get rid of posts that talk about it because they don't want to be shut down.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muleguy:
Its not like this is one of the thousands of posts out there asking "how do I change my esn". That information is fairly readily available.

Instead, if you read my post you'll see that I'm asking for some troubleshooting help to try to determine why my device isn't functioning properly and a spitballing of ideas as to how I can get it to work (ie...possibly rolling back to a previous software revision). I just filled in the backstory, because I felt it was pertinent information (showing that I can make writes to all areas of the device with various programs) just not the ESN/MEID.

Though, some would frown on what I'm trying to accomplish, I haven't asked for any illegal information...just troubleshooting help to figure out why my device isn't behaving properly. I don't know of any forum that would delete a post and ban somebody for asking for troubleshooting help, thats why the forum is here.
