Sense is alot more that just a "Launcher". It's a complete network of systems and they are linked to each other. So the answer is "yes, Sense is still running".
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvmehaterz:
adw is just a launcher not a whole ui so therefore sense is still running in background

Oh ok and thats probly why my batt is going dead soo fast..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakeshow423:
Check your Widgets and how frequently they update data. I am running LPP launcher over sense UI and I didn't even notice significant battery drain after. I doubt its ADW draining the batt.

Easy. Go to the development section, read the sticky on how to downgrade to 1.32, follow the instructions and then root 1.32

[Desire HD General] Andy:
Don't hold your breath, with the latest update killing root, and then being pulled. God only knows what the "updated" update will do.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
You'll be dead before you get root then. The devs involved with the downgrade method have already stated they won't be trying to root 1.72. Htc closed too many doors this time.

[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
IMHO if it's too much work downgrading to attain root, you probably don't really need root

I have just put a Gingerbread build on my HD2 (MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.2 [A2SD+][GRH78][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S10.2 OC]), I can't seem to find anyway of changing the Text Input from the full Qwerty Keyboard to the standard PhonePad input that was on Android 2.2. Does the PhonePad exist in GingerBread?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] milkstr:
Any body help with this?

I need this too, especially the phone keypad

Really annoying as i've got big fingers using the default gingerbread one!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anub1s18:
Hi,

i was wondering if anybody knows a good alternative to the default video player on the desire HD.

I'm not expecting Dolby/SRS support since no player except for the default player seems to have that but are there any that apart from showing a name can play continuously (start at a selected video and just keep going) or better yet can play continuously wile shuffling through the available video's?

i have about 140 music video's on my desire HD and it's just annoying to have to select the next one every time and well... no shuffle.

real player seemed promising since u can just jump to the next video manually before the one your watching ends but that feature doesn't seem to work... at least not yet.

i did check google first but all i got was topic's from 2008...

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seahorse:
I have tried several to date and have found them all to be disappointing to be frank. They may or may not remember the position in the video you are watching or they distort the screen or they have a clunky interface.

I've been using Rock player for the last few days and it is guilty of all three listed above.

I would be interested to hear of something that delivers:

Video position memory

Multiple format support

Sensible zoom/re-size modes

Sleek interface

I have bneen using vplayer and it seems quite nice, can't comment on the issued mentioned above but I shall do some research and get back to you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigdhd:
I'm using vplayer beta 4, changed to pay version after this and only time limited trial for b5 forwards. Works great plays all formats resizes well to screen and saves location when file stopped. Had much more consistent results than with rockplayer and streams fine with quick seeking from twonky media server without needing to transcode.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anub1s18:
i tried vplayer,

i loved the gesture's for the player, but was not to fond of the file browser and it cant play next video :(

but i also found mvideo player,

which has a excellent browser (just looks a bit more... modern) has good gesture's (still kind of prefer vplayer's) but can play the next video after the current one ends :D

not perfect but a lot better then the default.. apart from the no dolby (it makes a HUGE difference on my in-ear headphone's) but the pro's outweigh the con's so it's my new video player until the default one is worth a damn.

ow and it also has excellent scaling.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] scubageek01:
Can you please suggest a good player to play movies? I'm currently using DoubleTwist but I find that it does not continue where the movie is left off.

Quick summary to that thread: I've found that converting video to mp4 using handbrake (see thread for settings) and watching with the built in Movies/Gallery app is the way to go. By far.

[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
I actually do have faith in SE handling their software better with the Arc and such, it just doesn't benefit me at all since I'm married to my X10 at least for the next couple of years or so. I dunno, everything I've felt is necessary to say about their current lineup is said already, it's nice to see SE admitting themselves that they failed. Even though their attitude is more like "We f'ed up, buy our new phone so that we can make up for it", than "Sorry we f'ed up, please enjoy our improved support for the X10 lineup in the year 2011!"
[XPERIA X10 General] ledn:
I should not read this :/ wrrrr...

[XPERIA X10 General] hemo1001:
"we've made mistakes ".... saying that is the mistake... so that's mean buying x10 is a wrong thing and you should not buy x10 or x8 or mini because it's a mistake ... will i got SE something ... for me trusting SE was a mistake .

[XPERIA X10 General] coipu1234:
having looked at the new lg/htc/droid phones that are appearing in the very near future I reckon as usual sony is starting from behind, should be called xperia x10 v1.0

bet they wont unlock the bootloader either cos its probably the same code for all their new released phones.
[XPERIA X10 General] nidalius:
witch one "X10 , Mini , pro & X8" are outdated :s the arc is not on the Market

, we choose the bad brand and our dev try to give us some light with root and custom rom , i dont understand if Zdishu , Jerpelea & ... from XDA are able to develop 2.2 , 2.3 android rom , with good ressources they could do that perfectly pfff SE S**k
[XPERIA X10 General] kloud_:
Got to agree there with u. And neither would I be suggesting this phone to any1 again. Sure it feels nice to see ppl admiring the x10 but what's the use if it ain't up to date. A smartphone that's not even a phone :'(

I can't agree with this... maybe earlier it was like that, ppl never know about updates, and didn't care much, but now with all this Android hype, more and more people are talking about Android, Froyo, games, MT and stuff, they all are aware of this. And looking how HTC updates their cheap phones like Wildfire and Tatto to froyo... they will ask how come they don't have Froyo on top model SE phone :)

I'm sure that SE will get what it deserves..

[XPERIA X10 General] violentgoomba:
And therein lies the problem. Google hypes their milestones so much that the Android community eagerly waits for every iteration because the changes really are that good. Mobile phones are no longer just about specs and hardware, they're now also about UI, features and software capabilities. The mobile landscape has changed because of this and yet SE turns a blind eye and chooses to do their business the old way--i don't think it's a framework that will work in this generation with higher customer expectations.

Android isn't even for geeks anymore, it's also for people who are generally interested in phones. My boyfriend who is very un-geek monitors Android updates. He cares about the MT-wireless tethering-froyo-gingerbread-honeycomb hoopla! And because of this, he's very proud to be running Froyo, and excited to get Gingerbread.

We on the other hand got screwed.
[XPERIA X10 General] skynet77:
Exactly, Android isn't for geeks anymore, it's also for people who are generally interested in phones. That's why I said that they will get what they deserve.

But luckily, our great devs have already made almost perfect Froyo ROM with working camera, so who gives a !@#@!&* for SE updates anymore :)

Based on the GT-I9000 SGS for us outside the states, I've had a bash at comparing the Nexus to my Galaxy and put up the differences, improvements and disappointments to try and help anyone on the edge decide which phone is better for them:

http://technocrate.net/post/2680798304/google-nexus-s-uk-eu-review-and-galaxy-s-comparison
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Conclusion / Summary:

SGS is better

this is coming from a heavy user of both phones (me)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Nexus s: gingerbread and flash on camera

Galaxy s: fm radio, external sd card and HD recording at a higher frames per second.

Clear winner has got to be the galaxy s,

Note: missing an external sd is awful.

I Can't wait for gingerbread to hit the galaxy s :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nailerr:
Except Samsung make the software and... well. Samsung can't make software, a slight problem was my conclusion there. Using the Nexus for Navigation this week though has been flawless and immediate which is a treat.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nailerr:
Not a disagreement on the topic as it is personal but I have never, ever needed an external memory card. And the SGS is way better at video which I have actually got to post soon a proper side by side recording demo, but I really do not care. At all. An that struck me as odd..

I think not everyone needs video in HD and some people may claim they do then entirely ignore the function. I prefer battery life and call quality over 720p video. But this is a personal thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
something that should be mentioned as well

the Samsung Nexus S DOES NOT have gorilla glass, it will break if you drop it the wrong way

the SNS has NFC (which i rather trade for a microSD support)

i ran out of space too many times already, it's really hitting a nerve

is very annoying to have to keep uninstalling stuff, to be able to try something new
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nailerr:
Edited to re-include the GGlass thing, I had it in an early draft and forgot on the rewrite..

SD over NFC... I'm sort of with you, I don't use either. But the NFC has been amusing so far just to wave it over the security tags at work, it's vaguely possible something interesting will come of that and the developer community.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] matt310:
Good article. Please fix the typos, namely differentiating between 'its' and 'it's' as they have completely different meanings.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nailerr:
Honestly, I never learnt any sort of language at school so this is mostly an amalgamation of what I have read and worked out since..

I shall certainly have a go. It's as in It Is and Its for possessive.

Ok that was at least a quick set of corrections. I fear there will be more to do in general though perhaps after sleeping some. Thanks for the pointer.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Singapore is now conducting trials for NFC applications. Though right now the use is limited, but I foresee in the near future that NFC is going to find its use, perhaps even sooner than expected.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
i wouldnt get too bent out of shape regarding the sgs video recording.. i mostly use it in loud environments ie concerts and the video recording on the sgs is useless all you get is noise... anyone compare on the nexus s how recording is in loud environments.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nailerr:
It's certainly going to see more use in some regions than others at first, outside those who have it now. Where I am it will probably remain a curiosity for the time being.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nailerr:
No but it is something I could try although it may have to be faked with my stereo.

I have some night time video and regular phone call recordings which I need to mix up and put on youtube or somewhere yet - tumblr is not too good at mixing multimedia into a text post apparently.

I am open to questions on the topic, it would help me add more in a follow up post later on. The idea is to help people make a choice, even if they decide an HTC or iPhone is best for them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kunjar:
SGS video recording @ 720p is good although the audio stream is pathetic. Even when trying to shoot a video of my floorstanding speakers playing music, the audio statistics of the file generated are horrendous.

Last time i checked i got 62kbps bitrate and 32KHz sample rate. This is by no means 21st century stuff. Garbage.

Audio playback through headphones sucks majorly compared to my ipod. Makes me wonder why i chose this plastic piece of junk.

GPS is top notch, on my 6th replacement handset from orange...oh its something alright. The replacement i received this morning gives a slight pink/red tint when using the camera function, focussing on a white sheet of paper.

Should have gone for the iphone4, shoots great video with good sound, plays good sound, gps works...thats all i need. Oh and mic is clear for calls. I am by no means an Apple fanboy, i just want something that WORKS! Silly i know...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i'll try that on the next concert or public performance i get to visit :)

last time i tried it on the SGS, the sound was horrible, but video was crispy clear, even during Dawn
[Galaxy S I9000 General] abnormica:
This is a ridiculous statement.

Don't get me wrong. It's 100% accurate. It's just that it's ridiculous that a company the size and stature of Samsung can't get their sh!t together when it comes to software. I should have know three years ago when I bought one of their LCD picture frames. Beautiful hardware, but the CD came with a virus on it!. That being said, I'd rather have a virus on my computer than Kies...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
LMAO! this is so true :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nailerr:
It is true, it is insane and it is funny. Well less funny at the price we paid but you know.

It is because of this that I suspect if 2.3 is built for SGS it is not suddenly going to work properly especially since it would seem the filesystem is a big part of the performance.

Mind you, now Google is building the OS with Hummingbird in hand perhaps it will improve slightly by default?

Not all handsets though. We had this as a major problem for SOME users around the world on the Galaxy S. Was fixed in 2.2.

Always after flashing a new custom rom the market downloading all my old apps

I test a lot of apps and I don't want them back when I flash a new custom rom

Can somebody help me ?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] bobbyphoenix:
Before you flash a new ROM uncheck the "back up my settings" options under privacy in the settings, or sign in using a different account. The apps are linked to you account, so every time you sign in, you will get all your apps again when using the back up settings and your account.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] erezak:
1. Reset the phone to factory settings.

2.

Don't

enter your Google credentials in the Setup Wizard.

3. Complete the wizards.

4. Go to Accounts in Settings.

5. Add your Google account.

This should prevent the re-installation.

[Wildfire General] D3VICE:
I bought ADW EX, I know there are places where you can get the full one for free, but I just felt like supporting the people behind it because I liked it really much.

I also had Launcher PRO before, and I was wondering what you guys thought.

Think about it, and tell me and the other people visiting the topic your opinion and vote for your favorite!

I myself have voted for ADW, I love its simplicity, and how it is just fully customizable, and has all the animation effects, and of course, its downloadable icons.

When you are going to be voting or stating your opinion be sure to think about.

Customization

Ease of use.

Appearance.

Compatibility.
[Wildfire General] hacktrix2006:
I have used both and perfer the Launcher Pro as it runs faster and has better options for both home screen and menu. Didin't like ADW as it was a ram hog.

[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
LauncherPro had all the features ADW ex has already. minus the fail iphoney coloured icon backgrounds (they're useless, and the horizontal appdrawer). And it also runs much smoother and faster. Did i also mention that it's easier to setup and configure, the menu is more organised.

Also, fede's rewrite of the app is making it awesome, e.g. the screen transitions, can't wait to see more updates :).

Also it's cheaper than adw ex, and is worth the money much more.
[Wildfire General] eagleofdeath13:
Give a try to Go Launcher, i wasn't verry happy with these 2 and i fell in love with Go ^^
[Wildfire General] wocis:
i'm using adw because it is "native" in cyanogenmod

before launcherpro. If you setup it for your daily use, it does not matter what launcher do you use..

Maybe the new "ex" versions which is developed from scratch and don't using any android launcher api...
