You get not compatible error when you try to download from market?? If yes, are you using 200 dpi?? Try reverting back to 240 stock.
Nah i think it is to do with ARHD non standard build.prop as in it lists my phone as a Desire HD A9191 not a stock Desire HD

I am getting a Desire soon and personally I would rather remove Sense UI, but this is not longer possible the easy way.
Can anyone explain if you can remove sense another way? I have heard people say to use Launcher2 or HelixLauncher to get the 3D app drawer and the nexus one launcher. Can anyone confirm this works?
Thanks!
Yep if your install either you can make them default and use them instead but it will still have the Sense theming of all the apps / status bar etc and obv the HTC widgets wont work
ok thanks or the quick reply
so if i use either of these launchers i will not be able to use HTC widgets?
and when/if the desire gets rooted i'll be able to stick a nexus one rom on?
has anyone had any experience with either of these launchers on the desire?
im new to android so i apologise for the noobish questions
Not a problem
Nope you won't be able to use the HTC Widgets... but you can launch the HTC Sense launcher at any time and get access to your widgets though it's a bit of hassle doing that everytime hence i'm gonna stick with htc sense launcher myself.
Both the nexus launcher and helix work great on my Desire, no problems as far as i've been using it.
Not sure about putting then nexus rom though, sorry
thanks for the info.
so installing launcher2 enables the 3D app drawer from the nexus one?
just to clarify lol
Yep the home screen looks like the nexus one and you get the 3D drawer with fades. It looks pretty good! I just wish the widgets still worked then it would be perfect.
thanks again for your quick reply
so where do i download this launcher 2? from the android market when i get the phone?
sorry so many questions!
Not a problem,
Helix you can get from the market but launcher2 you will need to get from somewhere else but if you search these forums you will find one you can install no problem
awesome, thanks again.
one last request: which version did you use? i've searched here and elsewhere and each version is different and im not sure which to use
I'm not sure to be honest, if you know how to check then I can tell you?
Hey guys,
Just wondering if there is a HTC People or HTC Dialler app which is extracted from the HTC ROM's either in apk format or as a zip which I can flash? I've searched the forum but not found anything - wondering if they can be extracted since I assume that they can work without HTC Sense (e.g. when using different launchers)
I want to use OpenDesire but don't like the stock Android contacts/dialler.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hey, you can use Launcher Pro for sense like widgets. Otherwise sense widgets cannot use with default launcher on froyo.

Hi - thanks for your answer - I know that I can use Launcher Pro etc but what i'm really interested in is the actual phone app and the contacts app which are on the HTC ROM's. When using a Sense ROM, if i change launcher to, for example, Launcher Pro, then i can still use the HTC Phone and Contacts app - thats what i'm after on a non-Sense ROM.
The only sense integration is with Facebook Sync I think - which I could live without.
there is no option using sense widgets on froynly with launcher pro but i dont like it,i like sense widgets but i dont like sense,only widgets that i like.
I like to know if there's a way too, I don't like android's contacts\dialer either.
As far as I'm aware, the HTC dialler and phone .apk are too deeply integrated with sense to work as a standalone app on non-sense roms. Simply removing the apk won't work.

Cheers Rolfd - that would explain why no one has done it!
Does anyone know of any alternatives which offer smart dialling by typing in the name, etc?
Market: Dialer One
You could try Dialer One on the market.
Edit: I'm too slow!
Thanks guys - I'll try Dialler One on my next visit to Senseless Froyo!
Dialer one is the best in the market I think as a replacement for HTC's dialer however you could also check out "NubDial" some people prefer that.

Yes "Dialer One" is providing very "Sensi"ble way to use phonepad. Thanks
Hello friends!
I've just received my desire und would like to know if there's a way to uninstall
Or disable the HTC sense.
I really dislike the arced bottom with the apps, telephone and add buttons and would love to get rid of it all together.
I prefer the way Android looks on The galaxy I9000.
Can I make it happen?
Thanks ahead.

Super Fail of a thread...
Go check out the ROM section and you'll see plenty of non-Sense ROMs waiting for you

Thanks for the quick reply. I used custom roms over two years on my x1,
But for now I would like to modify my OS without flashing a Rom.
Plus I have no computer available at the time.
So no luck?
If you'd like to change the dock bar at the bottom, try installing LauncherPro. It'll run over the top of Sense so you'll lose the Sense widgets, but I think the paid version offers similar widgets. http://www.launcherpro.com/
You can use the process manager in the Astro File Manager to kill the HTC Sense process. The default android launcher should then appear on the phones "home" screen.
To get HTC Sense back, reboot your phone.

Why did you not buy a galaxy s or a nexus one if you don't like sense ui?

Well i like to choose. I thought getting rid of it is easier than adding it,
Plus this phone was cheaper for me.
As for the thread:
Using launcher pro really does it for me, so Thanks a lot.
You've helped much.
i think the "launcher pro" app is the easyest way to chance the style and its faster than sense
Hi,
I am using the Android 2.2 with my touch pro 2 right now. Well I noticed that the Fancy Widget or in general Weather function doens't work in Android?
Is it maybe because I used ENERGY ROM on my TP2 to launch Android? (I use the Rhod100_de german as startup).
thx

You need the full version, it works for me and I have the full version.
Try this apk.
Fancy Widget from the market works fine for me, non-Pro version.
The ROM you use to boot Android shouldn't make any difference.
Hi,
I own a HTC Sensation XE and I use the ARHD v6.51 ROM with ICS v4.0.3. Before this device I have used a HTC Desire HD with Gingerbread v2.35. The HTC Keyboard with Gingerbread contained Arrow-Keys below the spacebar - the new ICS Keyboard does not have this four keys.
Is there any chance to get the old Gingerbread-Keyboard to work? Most important is that I want to use the HTC Keyboard, no other solution.
Thanks!

Unlikely that it will work. I haven't see any like that for ICS.
The HTC IME mod will work in ICS (tested this) but it has no arrow keys.
Smart Keyboard Pro on the Market has arrow keys and is functionally identical to the HTC keyboard, with more capabilities.
is this enough for you?

Thanks for the link. Will check it out soon (when there will be an open Download-Slot ).
The most important thing is that I can import my personal dictionary to the keyboard because it saves so much time - and my whole dictionary was created on 3-4 different HTC Keyboards over the past few months.
I checked out the Keyboard. Many thanks. Its exactly what I need
heres a screenshot of my new keyboard....

Here is a sample snapshot of my keyboard with arrows including font changes !!!!
WTF! Comic Sans MS???
Nope its not comic sans, its a font called ChinaCat.
Not only the keyboard, this font is applied everywhere on the phone.

Hi, thanks....its an app called "Thumb keyboard" , downloaded from google play, and for the fonts, you can use an app called "Font changer", that too from play store.
You need to be rooted to apply them.
Cheers.!!
