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.

are there any for 2.1? because i couldn't find the others you suggested

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

just tried it it works seems a bit laggy but i think now i might just stick with sense as the only thing i prefer with nexus is the lock screen. anyway to get that on sense?
you also loose all the nice widgets so i'm gonna stick with sense for the moment.
thanks for all your help guys.

[Q] HTC IME (Stock) for CM6

I've searched up and down and installed a myriad of APK's. Every stock HTC IME (meaning arrow keys) force closes on CM6 for me. I use the stock arrow keys all the time (bash terminal, RDP) and "need" them on my keyboard. Has any one had any success at all install the stock keyboard on CM6?

I would like to have this too. Anyone???

Hi Res
yes i found one i am using for CM6 right now. I think i deleated the file i will look and add it later if i find it.. IT was HI RES HTC IME seach for that
Im not sure what the otehr files in the zip do just install the IME.apk

should be HTC_IME_hi22.apk and Clicker_hi.apk (which i think is the settings or something)
i ran that file and then added this cyan color scheme on top of it
if you want the "lower keyboard" button you have to disable smiles in the settings

I still get force closes with any of these apk files. Anyone have better luck?

looking for this too, anyone with the stock HTC IME with the arrows, pls let us know! thanks

CM6 is non-sense. if you want sense, flash a sense rom

Flash one of the new DesireHD ports. You will no longer need the arrow, since it has that iPhone like feature where when you drag your finger through a text field, it magnifies your current spot.
Just a suggestion...not a good one though because you lose Camera, 4G and HDMI stuff...

I don't think it exists. At least, if it does, nobody is paying close enough attention to the question, because all of the IME mods I've been told to try lack the arrow keys. The closest thing was Swype, since it has arrow keys.

I don't think anyone here was asking for a sense rom. They were asking for a feature of a sense rom on cm6.

I'd love to see this too, what keeps the stock one from being ported over?
Is sense really that embedded in every little thing htc puts out?
It would be awesome if the arrows could be made to take up a little less space as well... this seems to be the only complaint I have heard about them anywhere.
Devs? Some of you have to appreciate the added benefit the arrows offer.

HTC_IME for gingerbread anyone? :(

Hey,
I really don't like the gingerbread keyboard and i found a topic with htc_ime mod keyboard. But, this htc keyboard does not work on gingerbread.
Somebody got a working version?

I'm using the gingerbread keyboard from the market and if you long hold space bar and drag up, you might be able to get some arrows

You could use ultra keyboard with the HTC skin, it looks the same and it more customisable.

I must have spent three hours looking for this today. Thank you so very much whoever modded this for gingerbread.

where i can find the htc skin for ultra keyboard?

I was looking for the same thing came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916686
The HTC IME from the addons section works on cm7.0.3!
The only thing is I wanted a pure HTC IME skin, but this one is custom themed. Anybody ideas how I can get it unthemed? I tried repacking it with apktool with graphics from HTC_IME_hi v27 but it didn't work. AppInstaller kept staying application not installed without an explanation as to why

thanks button = poked

Got my new SE Neo yesterday and hated the keyboard, tried a couple of the versions on Gimpsta's sight as this is what I had had on my X10 but wouldn't work. Should have known to check here first, thank you for making my nice new phone now perfect.

Thanks for posting!!

Gonna give this a try on my G2X running 2.3.3, hope this works!

DHD_HTC_IME.apk
u can try this one

just take the apk file (from the 28b version) and install it (is better if installed in the internal storage)! than go to :
Settings---> language and keyboard ---> select htc_ime

[Q] [CM7] Getting HTC Keyboard back?

I have flashed CM7 and I love the software, but unfortunetly the keyboard in CM7 I don't like, it is much smaller than the original HTC one so I was wondering if it is possible to get the HTC Keyboard back from Froyo while keeping CM7?
If I can't have the same keyboard how about one with similar sized keys?

Hi and yes you can have HTC keyboard and there are lots of alternatives too. Search market and also someone posted HTC keyboard on here but can't remember where.

Oh thank you, I'll look for it.
EDIT: No luck, I searched but couldn't find it.

ok here it is. install like any apk and dont forget to go to keyboard settings and apply it.
here is original link to page with instructions.
the clicker apk is for calibrating the keyboard but dont need to install it if you not bothered about the calibration.
regards slymobi.

another alternative is thick buttons from market, i used it for a while.

Thank you very much!
EDIT: I installed it but it just force closes.
EDIT2: Nevermind, solved it by restarting the phone.

Your welcome. P.s a good old reboot is a solution to many a problem.lol

I need Chinese language in the keyboard but could not find it, is there a link for that?

I am using MIUI rom for some time and I missed Sense keyboard really much.
