Dear All,
kindly help me on my concern. I friend of mine just offered me a G2 but i dont like the homescreen of all. Would there be no way to get HTC sense on a later stage or will this option not be allowed on the device. Is there another option to enhance the home screen (i like black but looking for something fancy like the upcaoming SBP mobile shell 5.0...). Another issue understand that there is no radio too, so could i download a radio cab or will this not work or and at least could i download an HTC Desire z rom at a later stage....
How is the keyboard, can i write mail quickly...
you can download fancy widget if u want the weather clock from htc sense
psh whaaaaat!!! do u want my address so u can mail it to me? htc sense is bloat city but to each his own. you can always get the g2's sister: htc desire z or download panda home, they have a htc sense theme thats very theme-y to the touch and look. seriously send that g2 my way.

Yes,the answer is positive.
You can get a ROM with HTCSense.com once it's fully rooted anf THAT won't be far from now.(At least I think so)

Hi,
New guy here so go easy.
I am running an HTC tattoo and am not a big fan of the Sense gui so I have reverted back to the android. However I would like use of some of the HTC widgets. Is there anyway to use these with just the standard GUI?

I tried doing this some weeks ago, and it won't work. The HTC Widgets won't be available on the Android Home. Unless other know of a way to get it to work...
The lock screen is the same of Hero???
Is there a way to change it? anyone??
Thanks
I am not here to help, because I myself have never used Android before and know only very basic (aka noob) things regarding the OS (will be joining with the Desire).
I just wanted to say: I think it is the same as found on the HTC Hero, because this is the HTC SENSE lockscreen. Both phone's feature HTC Sense, so...
On the desire you can disable HTC Sense and get the stock 2.1 experience (including the stock 2.1 lockscreen I assume). Maybe you can try that to get another lockscreen, but then again you will have to give up on HTC Sense.

It makes Sense. Thanks for the tip
I should have tried it before I talked.
No, turning off Htc Sense does not give me the Eclair lock screen, it gives me the same Htc Sense lock screen.
I thought this smartphone was be able to add voice dial commands, but so far I couldn't find a way to. Is it because of Htc Sense?

hi all
am a new Android owner with a HTC Legend.
one thing thats confusing me is that..yes the system reports the firmware as 2.1
however, of all the Android 2.1 clips I've seen...mostly of the Nexus1, there are 5 home screen pages, saw a diagonal ribbon type thing on a Doid stock 2.1 video, a button to open the apps page instead of the drawer, with the apps page being a 3d wheel kinda thing....and so on.
Now, with the Legend, once HTC Sense is disabled, i get Andoid's original (i think) Home screen. this shows up as 'Home version 7' under Manage applications.
And it's NOTHING like what i've seen of 2.1. it looks basic, not so different from one of the earliest versions that ran on an emulator on windows.
the only thing i can make of this...is that f/w 2.1 and Home version 7 are different things. much like HTC Sense is different from f/w 2.1..in that they're both just skins and can be different versions independent of the f/w as long as its supported to run.
can someone clarify?
thank you.
doesnt anyone know?
I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere...
HTC Legend doesn't have live wallpapers.
ahh so all that I described is part of the live wallpaper?
thanks for clearing that up
HTC Legend doesn't have a trackball.

yer im aware of that........
anyway it turns out I mightve been looking at some custom launcher and mistaking them for the default home screen after all..

Hi,
I recently got the slide and I see it comes with android 2.1 with htc sense and some tmobile skin(eh).
Is it possible to somehow remove this skin and only leave the 2.1 and htc sense?
thanks!(hope this is the right place to ask this)

well it doesnt come with htc sense it comes with tmobile slide wich is there version of sense so i dont think it would be possible to do that without removing the slide ui as well you can install a different launcher from the market but then the "sense" will be gone no more widegets nothing so as of right now you have to have it all or have none of it at all.
oh and this belongs in the mytouch slide forum near the bottom of the main forum page im sure a mod will move it there soon
The widgets may still reside just not the same ui if you use a different launcher, honestly I don't like the slide that's why I didn't get it...
Wondering if the sense 3 will come a day..

In another thread some people claim that the Desire ROM would be compatible with the G2, thus opening an easy avenue to get Sense on a G2. However, that requires permanent root to be available, which we don't have today.
What you can do today is getting something like Launcher Pro, which allows for a lot of customizations of the home screen.
Typing is fine on the Keyboard, but I'm still using Swype for anything shorter than a multi-paragraph email...
There is an app in the market called TuneIn Radio that streams radio stations over the internet. It has the ability to display all local radio stations too.
