well if you have seen many vidoes how to do it then wheres the problem ?
the problem is i follow what they do and it doesn't work i think the problem is that it doesn't actually have home installed on it i've looked thru all of the applications and its not there is there anyway to install it?
Why would you get a desire and NOT a nexus one if you don't like sense?
Find Launcher.apk, Launcher2.apk or one of the launcher replacements in the market (ahome, openhome, home++) and install them to replace the sense homescreen.

You could try installing Launcher2.apk from Nexus One. Some people report it working fine on their phones. It didn't work for me though. Maybe I had the wrong APK.

Complete Android noob here please explain
In overly simplified terms, Sense UI is HTC's home screen, where as Launcher2 is Google's home screen for N1.
All programs on Android come in APK files. That's like a CAB installer on WinMo.
So all you need to do is search Nexus One forum for Launcher2.apk, download it on your phone and install it. Then when you press home button, it will ask you which home to launch. Choose Android home (or something similar) instead of Sense UI, but DON'T make it default just yet as it might not work.
If it does, next time you can make it default an voila - you have yourself a "Nexus One".
Though Sense UI will still be running, so you don't really save any memory or anything.
I have posted in this forum how to turn of Sense on the Desire. Search 'How to turn of HTC Sense' or something.
Since in that clip there was ACTUALLY a Desire being used, it should work. From what I remember:
Go to settings, all programs, search HTC Sense, turn it off.

i've just downloaded launcher2.apk and now just to finish this phone call then i'm gonna test this out will report back. i feel like a crash test dummy lol
You could also try to install the Helixlauncher2 app from the Nexus One forum. It's a modified Nexus One launcher2 with a lot more features. I already made a thread in the Desire Themes and Apps forum since I'm curious whether it works flawlessly or not on the Desire. Maybe you can crash test that launcher too?
ok default launcher 2 doesn't work gonna try the other one mentioned now

Dude what I was saying was that I had seen alot of tutorials on How to do it and followed them but it didn't work so you probably just miss understood. We all do at times dw about it
video of how to do it here, let us know if it works out for you

Just wanted to let you guys know that the site is already working. Enjoy it.
Thx, I will try it now.

Only has options for Desire Z and Desire HD... not Standard Desire
they said that first supported devices would be those, we will have to wait
Well but since i have a desire hd rom in my desire i already tried it. Kinda cool ringing the phone and knowing where it is thru the site... also i can see missed calls and incoming messeges. Htc scores again
"Desire" is what started it all, they should have enabled it for the standard desire first
Needs Sense 2.0 to work, the HD and Z have HTC Hub apps in them which connect to HTCSense.com
Fingers crossed for the next OTA for original Desire to have Email fix for Hotmail EAS and Sense 2.0 then...
has it been said us Desires users will get it?
I've read at several sites that HTC have confirmed that the original Desire will get Sense 2.0 in a OTA update soon... I really hope it's true... But I won't cry if we don't get it because I think Sense already rocks the way it is! and if I ever get sick of it there are always alternatives like launcher pro and etc...

I don't know where you get this from, but in fact some people are already running the desire hd with sense 2.2 on their original desires. Can't see why an official update for the Desire "won't fit"

Probably because they
1. are using the sd card to install the ROM
2. have removed a bunch of useful/needed stuff (like 4 from 5 sense themes) to make it fit in the device itself.
I hope we can get a custom rom that will integrate Sense 2. I don't need the official OTA. Community ROM's are far better. Would like to see a new LeeDroid with Sense 2.
Of course they could get sense 2 to fit on, this is HTC, the company that can pull rabbits from out of their arses. It doesn't have to be the same version as the HD, but supporting htcsense.com would be magic!
i've sense hd......contact,messages and foot print work.....positioning ring and block doesn't work......someone ave this working??

Hey guys
A lot of you seem to have little issues with the HTC One X so I decided to make a thread where we can gather all those issues to find out if you are alone or not. Which is important to know if the problem is related to your specific device or rather some software issue.
Bugs
Screen stops turning orientation, even in settings menu G-sensor no longer moves. - POSSIBLE FIX : Go to taskmanager and kill all tasks - All credit and thanks go to casca
Calendar widget crashes if more then 20 appointments - TIP : Just remove the widget since it will keep crashing until you remove it...
Other HTC widgets seem to be causing lag too.
GPU Rendering can't be forced.
Live wallpaper stops on switching between screens
GPS issues - Possible fix : Download gps status on the market and clear the a-gps data - if this works all credit and thanks go to matmar
Screen starts "jumping"
When browsing/camera/other Sense 4.0 related tasks -> It looks like there is "noise" on the screen. Like this
SIM card stops working/restarts/no connection
The three dot menu button appears in some ICS native apps, like the YouTube app for example. - Fix for this in Dev section (requires unlock)
Tegra 3 games (and some others) lag, this is probably connect to some video driver bug. (Hardware is fast enouf to play it without lag)
Screen reactivating after using the lock-button (only 1 click ofc)
When opening the Clock app (just by pressing the clock on your homescreen), and moving to the Timer-tab (the one on the far right) it always adds one hour, one minute and one second to whatever time you set it to.
Issues
Lag in Multi-Tasking window and other elements - TIP : Go to Dev Settings - disable animations. This improved the speed a lot for me (even thou most animations keep on running, only the excessive ones get turned off) [This lag is clearly a software issue, other launchers are lag-free; should be fixed soon]
A lot of people are reporting signal problems. (No clue what's causing it)
Yellow spots on the screen
Always try to Factory Reset your device if you have a problem. Most of the time this fixes it. (Last resort)
Post your bugs and issues and if they get posted frequently I'll add them to the list.
Note to people who are planning on buying an HTC One X :
The device is still a great piece of technology, every software has bugs in it at the start! Don't get dissapointed because there are some minor glitches in the software, most of them will be fixed within 7 days from now (Update).
Live wallpaper stops on switching between screens
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Can't turn on GPU 2D Rendering.
Can't turn on Animation once unchecked.
heating issues..? over heating of device, turning off sim/phone services after certain temperature, not letting charge, etc... many guys complained about this.. very sad...
When i use the power button to turn off the screen it occasionaly turns on to the lockscreen after 0.5 seconds; Not always, normally when the screen was on for a longer time.
Glitches all over the place...
backlight not stable on light grey picture. (With my device i noticed it when i searched a grey pic on google, and zoomed in, the backlight flickered 1 second to "settle" after that it was good). On full birghtness i didn't had the probleme.
I am not satisfied with that phone.
It is not fast and laggy sometimes.
Multitasking button is not responding a lot.
When open some apps with black background, the resolution of the black color background sucks and shows blurry lines. It appears when adding gmail account.
I tried talking Tom and i found that it is working slower than in sensation and lags a lot.
I hate sense and i like to see AOSP Rom soon.

I'm glad I didn't buy this phone yet. Every day that goes by, I want this phone less and less seriously. I think I'm gonna wait for the Galaxy SIII. I'm sure I won't be disappointed with it. I refuse to spend money on a high end phone to see many glitches and lag at launch, even if it is fixable with ROMs and kernels, you shouldn't have to do that . Come one HTC

HTC better not play any silly games with these OTA and keep pushing the date back, this dire battery life isn't fit for purpose right now.

Yes you have be be glad because u didn't buy it.
Sense 4.0 really looks ugly except the clock and it also consumes the battery life.
The dialer also looks very bad.
Why does HTC love this old green color over the awesome blue one released as default by google?
I hear what you guys are saying. The only issue i've seen that really concerns me is this glitching i keep reading about. Although I did see a review from netbooknews.de that had this issue with noticeable lag in the multitasking button and screen taps.
I would love to say that you don't have to worry about it but the reality is that you probably won't see a fix till CM9 is released or some other AOSP build.

Instead of slating it immediately, how about trying to use it as stock/unrooted, like the way you received it. Your sig says you've already rooted and flashed a different ROM - how do you know it's not the alternative ROM giving the grief.

Sadly this isn't the problem in most of the cases. Until now only Sense 3.0 costum roms are available, the issue is however that all this roms are BASED on the stock rom (because devs don't have acces to scource code of Sense 3.0).
A lot of issues you experience in the costum roms are caused by bugs in the code of Sense. But this isn't always the case ofcourse! Let's hope HTC fixes them soon.
I agree that this phone isn't as snappy as I had hoped, its much the same as running sense 4.0 on my sensation.
That said, I got the DHD on release, and there were plenty of bugs, same with the sensation.
In the end, the hardware is top notch, the software will get sorted over time. It's the price we pay for being early adopters of a new model.

I lol'd... Well just go buy your sgs3 or whatever then. Why did you choose this fone? Had you not experienced sense 4.0 in your previous fone? Maybe you hadn't rooted that one, who knows. Or maybe, just like my wife, your not happy unless you got somethin to ***** about.

and i just wanted to share it with everybody else

all credits goes to football and all the amazing developers on XDA
looking good every thing works nearly apart from phone / gps / internet sharing which is good
It seems good
Looks great, not too dissimilar to the 4.04 w/ sense 4.5 leak that I'm currently running but jellybean is a welcome addition

Interesting,but HTC realy realy needs to do something about the RAM management,i mean,this is not multitasking present on the phone,feels like i'm using Iphone 3G with the unoficial multitasking app again...This is the first thing HTC must concentrate on.
I'm hoping for a larger contact display during calling. The one in stock JB looks awesome

The play store has a number of alternative browsers. With Android, you're free to choose.
Users have great hope from 4.5 , let's c what HTC do to retain it
Football u are great man.
Following things still remain a ques -
1)Is Sense 4.5 jelly bean smooth though 4.1 is already working like charm but it can still be better :good:
2) Is the people app changed, means does the Pic looks 720p really?
3) Multitasking still not there, really annoying. I dont get why HTC cant still get this right.
Gallery looks good.
Football can you please share a changelog, atleast what you see and feel
Not one of them supports multiple exchange accounts AND proper server search. I've tried them all.....
I just can't see why HTC don't bother to fix the rendering issue. All other clients render the right size but on sense email it looks like it was made for near blind people.

Everytime you exit an app it clears the cache files which means the app has to reload, when on web browser this is particularly annoying as say I want to leave a page up for when I'm on.break at work with no data connection, when I come back to it it reloads meaning I now can't read it. HTC have messed it up big time with me, I am going either sgs3 or lumia 920 in the next month

this is absurd i like rosie and i cant even use my LWP
Dang... Someone needs to get a mod for that.. I really liked the scrolling wallpaper effect..
Not only did it look awesome, it allowed us to have a high quality wallpaper and see everything that was on it...
I too just found out that I no longer has scrolling wallpaper. Is it me or is someone from HTC making retarded choices for their updates. If you have a functionality such as wallpaper scrolling, you cannot take it away when you update the firmaware...I did not buy something and have it taken away in the upgrade.
It should not require someone to do a hack to get that function back. I don't have an iPhone because I know what it can and what it cannot do...
HTC, you need to listen to your users.
I agree with you. That really sucks.
I'm hoping there come a rosie mod for it soon.
Thanks a lot fu**ing HTC.
I installed official JB update and for a few days bg scrolling was working normally then out*off nothing it stopped. Any solution?
You could try using Go Launcher, or any of the other launchers on the market, they will give you the scrolling WP. Unless if you're like me and you like Sense, then alas we're stuck with it
Anyone know if there is a mod for this yet for Sense? I haven't seen anything yet and would really love the scrolling WP back.
