Hero 2.1 after seeing Legend and Bravo

Hi:
I´ve seen videos presenting both the HTC Bravo and Legend with the expected Sense upgrade. I saw on Bravo home screen weather animation and animated backgrounds...as on the HTC HD2 while in Legend, static weather and static bakcgrounds.
Which one do you think we will get?
Legend kind...because of the mhz alikeness or Bravo style inspite the mhz differences?
Hoping it is Bravo....assuming it is Legend...
Maybe Bravo´s rom can be ported to Hero, I used to have HTC HD running HTC HD2 roms and it worked pretty good!!!!
Any comments?? Does anyone cares about this or just me?
Bye

i think that every 2.1 sense will be the same. and i just found that video of the legend WITH that animation (actually you can just see it for about 1 second) but it isnt static.
Cant wait to get all those new updates =)
Here's the link to that vid:

Yes, you are right, I saw the weather animation....bad luck...no wallpaper animatin.
Well...something is something...!!!!

WTF is up with all those videos????
They are all the same. Is it really soooo interesting to see someone flip through the home screens? Didn't it occur to some reporters to also check other features and bugfixes (like the one where you can't select text in a website with the trackball). Now, you could say it's because the home screen has most of the new features. Well I beg to differ. If that's really all they have now, why the **** did it take them so long? If it's 2.1, there must be 2.1 features of which these guys could show the Senese UI integration.

I have just seen a danish interview with a talks person from HTC saying 2.1 sould be out for the Hero 1. april

I'm seriously getting annoyed by either htc, who doesn't announce properly, by the local divisions that announce too much ****, or the press and users doing that...

I had a look around on some videos.
It looks like the legend sense 2.1 does not have the voice to text feature but the desire does! (Looking at each keyboard)
Its sad that they took out some of android 2.1's features. (Hopefully im wrong)
Also noticed that there is an editable dictionary with sense 2.1.

I hope HTC will not start marketing by disabling software features like Nokia does. I hope thatthe only difference, usability wise, betwen Legend, Hero and Desire will be screen resolution.
I would consider very much about buying thesetwo new phones though, they will probably not release updates on time just like with Hero, for the same marketing reason.

do you think we will get the new sense with LEAP

was watching a HTC announcement video and spotted the new leap feature (amoungst other things) that is coming on the hero and the desire, do you think this new sense will also come to the HD2 or the HD2 Mini ?
and if it did would it be portable to our devices ?? (please don't pick on me, i am only asking)

Well, our Sense is different from Android Sense. They have different homescreens where they can add widgets. Ours is predefined and (IMO) better laid out. Leap was meant to switch between those homescreens, whereas we can just slide over really quickly!
So, in brief, no.
However, if I may hijack this thread, any chance we'll get friendstream?!

That would be nice to have .... that is one thing I like about the entire Sense for 2.1. I am possible getting a HD2 next week through T-Mobile so I would love to see this in a future Sense update for WM.

Hi,
Well HTC announced that new Sense would be available with new Android devices and would also be available as an update to other Android devices and didn't mention WinMo. Now, as they are selling WinMo products that have an unknown future with Microsoft I'd like to think that HTC will be providing updates, including sense, to keep their WinMo line fresh before Windows Phone 7 becomes available. Alternatively they might drop Sense development on WinMo like a stone as they wont be alowed to sell it on Windows Phone 7 Series anyway (unless they can get away with a Sense Hub). I think that perhaps all HTC's interface imagineers will perhaps be working on Android from now on to be honest. I am not always right tho
Like most things on this forum regarding future developments, I don't know for sure. No one does.

[Q] HD Sense vs Sense

Hi all!
I saw this in ROM dev forum many times - and I don't understand because I'm a newbie in Android scene... what is the difference between FroYo Sense and a Desire HD Sense? Both are Android 2.2 (FroYo) with HTC Sense on top of it. Or not? What means HD in this case (related to Sense UI)?
Thank you!

The Desire Sense if the build of android found on HTC Desire, while the Desire HD is the build of android that is found the the HTC Desire HD device, released a couple of months or so ago, which has some new features such as Skins for the interface and other stuff (well, i used a non Desire HD build for very little time, so i don't exactly in what other aspects it is different)

mcbyte is right in hd sense you are able to install new skins in apk format and change it in a "theme manager" (don't know if it's called exactly like that).
other benefits are htc likes - a widget which shows up market apps etc. in an easy way. you can sort them better than in market. further there is htc hub, where you can download new backgrounds, themes, ringtone sets etc.
these are just two of the advantages of hd builds. if i remember some more i will post'em here

wrong post

thank you guys! I thought that the difference is bigger, because in Darkstone's new RAM build's thread some people wrote that a Sense HD build is not possible because it can't fit into the RAM - BUT a Sense build is possible. This is why I was curious the precise difference!
mods can close this (if they want)

sorry for my previous post. i thought you were asking about the difference between sense and non-sense builds.

Looks like we will get HTC Sense Faster then expected!

Hello,
It looks as if HTC is releasing the SDK soon, making it easier to develop sense for non-sense devices like the epic.
Here is the link:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/attention-sense-developers-sense-sdk-coming-soon/

I swear i saw another post just like this one?

I fail to see how this will make porting Sense any easier.

Sense is closed source, HTC is releasing an SDK allowing developers to make and optimize sense.
Thats why

They are just releasing an SDK so that people can develop apps that integrate with the Sense environment. Its not like they open sourced all of Sense.

Actually this is interesting, a friend of mine (IT professional) spoke to me today about how HTC is planning on releasing a mini-Market for Sense devices. If HTC were to allow Sense to be ported to other devices, that would mean their Sense-Market would be available across numerous devices. It's an interesting thought. Whether it's valid is yet to be seen.

Here is how Android 4.0 with HTC Sense looks like

http://www.gsmarena.com/here_is_how...wich_with_htc_sense_looks_like-news-3557.php#
Got the link and pictures off of RcMix Blog~

it is a test build with sense 3.5 and just android 4.0 the official releases will include android 4.0 and sense 4.0

but i think sense 4.0 is no where near. I can't find a specific date or even month in 2012 so yea the recent builds would probably include sense 3.5

Sense 4.0 will be onboard HTC Ville? Thought it'll be released first quarter
Sent from my 3310...intensely modified

we'll have it soon thanks to capy and the rcmix3d team

htc vile will be coming out with android 4.0 and sense 4.0 in 2012, but im not sure when though....hope its gonna be around the 1st quarter~

rumors said its 2nd quarter lol

I heard that also. When the Ville comes out and AT&T grabs it???hopefully, that will be my next phone

Wow, look very nice!

Welcome
I welcome Sense 4.0, however i do hope its not so much of a resource hog as the others. Quite likely it will be.
if it is then im gonna stick with CM9 (when released for the DHD)

Any source that they will make sense 4.0?

ICS with sense will awesome

In my opinion the sense ui didn't develop since sense 2.0.
HTC doesn't need to reinvent sense but compared to a clean ICS Android it appears outmoded.

did you try sense 3.5 my friend? stylish not outmoded your comment applies to sense 2.1 and 3.0

well as good as the development of ics going does anybody know when the camera will work. because if they finish with sense 3.5-4.0 without the camera it will sucks
and its sense 3.5-4.0 because its a test of 4.0 it has some new stuff over sense 3.5

I will be dearly waiting coz for me the sense camera is cm killer for me this is the main reason why I mainly use sense but do flash aosp roms like the ics builds

I have to admit I didn't try 3.5 yet.
But I'll give it a try.

I have DHD and I wish there was a rom with clean Android 4 without sense but working with HTC Windows software. I know it's a wishful thinking.
Speaking of sense 3.5, for me it is better (more useful) than clean Android 2.3.x.

Thanks and we are waiting for ICS

This thread just doesn't make sense.
