I hate sense UI I love the vanilla look, lockscreen, dialer, etc. Htc has already disabled google launcher with update, so now i fear our froyo will be waterd down in with htc sense. What do you guys think. If its true bye bye evo.
watered down my @ss HTC sense is a much better looking functioning version of the android ui although I can sympathize with people liking stock everything.

Of course HTC will include Froyo with Sense, it's HTC, what do you expect? However, there's an easy solution -- just set the Vanilla UI as your default and not Sense.
And just because the Evo will have a Froyo with Sense, you plan on saying good bye to your phone?? Have you seen what the devs and themers here can create? Not to mention, its extremely easy to rip out Sense if you want to, there are tons of people like you that don't care for Sense, there will definitely be a Senseless Froyo when it comes out.
I quite frankly think Sense is great (highly customizable), the Vanilla Android isn't anything special -- thus the reason why Google plans on making drastic changes too it in the future Gingerbread update.
Cant even set vanilla as default now with recent ota

I hear that palm treo is nice. You should get rid of your evo and go get one of those babys! VANILLA to the max!!!
If you dont like sense then get a different phone or root and change it to whatever you want. hell make your own theme. Complaining about sense would be the same as buying a car and complaining that it was red. Sure you could change it to blue if you REALLY wanted but you didnt think about what you wanted when you got it so now you would rather complain.

I think the OP's point was that with the latest update, they removed the option to do what you're saying, you can no longer go to stock Android and are forced to use Sense.
It'll suck for those that don't want to root their phone. For everyone else, I'm sure we'll be able to disable sense if we wish. Just another reason in a long list to root our phones.
If you don't want to root and you don't like sense, then I guess your only real option for a vanilla android phone will be a nexus one, or maybe a Droid if you can disable their UI's as well.

Yea, I tested the the method and well it seems the new update did take away vanilla option. But... I'm sure someone will find away around it or you can always find a ROM without Sense.
Use launcherpro. It does what the stock launcher does only better.
As i seen that are few Android builds but most of them doesn't have a Sense build i thought we can give a hand to the chefs...
So i'll start a poll and let's see how many of us want Sense or not!
with Sense
I hate sense...
I like with HTC Sense because of the looks and functionality as phone and sense widgets!
And it's closer to HTC look from winmo...
Cheers!
sense in winmo owns sense in android.. so I vote for non sense..
but I really like the Facebook inegrated with contact in sense.. like the link thingie...
sense is just another HTC winmo layer over android.. Not my taste.
i don't like the sense.....
I like sense cos it makes my phone look like a premium device

For me I say Sense!
Most for the language part...
I say "with Sense"... but I said that in the other poll about this subject too
Why a double thread:

Guten Morgen!
I made this poll in order for the chefs to take into considertion our opinion about how they make builds with or without sense...
If moderators consider to delete this post... i have nothing against it.
And yes i would like the latest android build to have sense
cheers
Tough one really. I like "some" bits of sense... but to be honest I think i prefer Android without. I prefer the stock keyboard.
Although I 'do' like the 'scenes' you can pick from, using Sense
hmmmmmmm decisions decisions!
definitely with sense. android sense is much better than winmo sense, it does not hog the cpu or anything, plus it is highly customizable. you can choose what options you want and dont want.
It makes the phone look really cool, rather than the boring homescreen with just shortcuts
I prefer sense. Been using a standard build since the 18th and its cool but I like built in customization sense offers. Plus I love the weather animations on my screen :lol:

I know the Flyer has come out with sense and gingerbread, maybe theres some phones out now with it, I haven't seen, does anyone know if there is a new keyboard on it?
Aaaaaannnnd can we get it if so?
Hi, yes the gingerbread has got a new keyboard. for my part it's included in my theme
I will check it out dude, although I'm not looking for a complete theme. Nice one.
I got excited when my new preowned hero had an update available
Thought maybe I was getting 2.2. No such luck. Just an update for 2.1 that just breaks Facebook contact sync.
So now I'm cm6.1 as 7 seems unstable. Keyboard transparency and the like. But no sense!
I love sense and I'd like to stay on 2.2 or above. Does anyone know if we will be getting an official HTC 2.2 or can someone suggest a nice fast 2.2 custom rom with sense?

Hi there
There won't be official 2.2.
Also - There are no fully working 2.2 baked roms with sense. Usualy there are huge problems with camera.
cheers
brat.haneq
Thanks. That's a real shame. Guess I'll stick with cm6.1. Maybe keep my eyes peeled for a nice 2.3.

Hi
Try Elelinux's Gingerbread Rom He does some pretty goody Roms
as for Sense you can try these two programs which do almost pretty much the same
Launcherpro plus and Beautiful Widgets together give you almost a sense like look
You might have to buy them if you really want them lovely effects
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB5mW8MySSk
the latest launcher pro has sense like calender and contacts and stuff
and beautiful widgets does clocks and stuff
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm6Luip0nho
I did actually try elelinuxs cm7 based Rom but I was gettin transparent keyboards and black screens even with the patch.
I have currently settled on a 2.2 with sense Rom. I'm too keen on friend stream and the contacts and calendar. I sorta feel like I'm doin HTC an injustice if I don't use sense.
It's only the camera that doesn't work and tbh the hero camera is pretty gash.
Thank you both for your suggestions and ideas but I can't buy from the mrket otherwise I would try launcher pro plus and beautiful widgets.

What can you expect from a big company and 2 years old phone ...
Sense is a horrible resource guzzling interface anyhow. I am in the same situation, I have a HTC Hero GSM running CM6.1. I missed sense at first, but CM is so much faster and featureful. You can really customise your phone on CM, so stop whining like a *****.

Maybe so, but the Dialer, Calendar, Exchange Mail client and Clock/Alarms/Stopwatch/Timer apps are all great (in my opinion).
Ok I am somewhat new to android let alone it being on the HD2 and I'm in the process of creating my, own rom. But I have to ask , why isn't there a TouchWiz rom floating around? I've seen Sense on a Vibrant and i've seen TouchWiz on a Desire and an Evo. So I'm just curious , why isn't their a TouchWiz Rom for our oh so versatile HD2?
