Did you not watch until the end where he was scrolling up and down that list just as smooth as on the iPhone, still in development but it looks so cool.
holy ****. Did anyone else notice HOW FAST all the apps opened up when he pressed them? It takes at least 1-2 seconds more on my device 8525!!! Can anyone here figure out how he is able to make it open sooooo fast?
(1) he is using a Eten phone rather than a HTC?
(2) he probably had it minimized as oppose to closed, that you might have done?
perhaps he did not use HTC X button, or something like that to really close application, not only minimize them. but you right, it is really fast. maybe he overclock his device. In my old FS Loox n500 I can overclock my CPU to 550MHz and it was fast too.

let the programing begin guys. i see that this is done by programing (ppl) is this really hard to do.
now question guys? if our great programers on here are albe to recreate damn near almost everything in the iphone. Would you go by one?
This is the guys site:

See some more pictures and urge him to release it to the PPC world..
Hi there....
i think this is just a wisbar skin .... isn't it???
that phone probably has a faster processor than the hermes, and thats why everything opens faster...

If you looked at the second link you could read this:
Everything is written using PPL1.20. PPL can be downloaded for free from http://arianesoft.ca
so he did it but he does not release ?

The apple's shadow..
If you read his blog will understand.
But he said that may release the stuff in the future (maybe when iphone will be in stores).
Now whe can wait or develop for ourself or.. avoid apple?
Let's get to Working Delvlopers...i talked to him he won't release it for legal issues. Which sux but i know we can develop it!!
I defenately like this.
A Damn good job.
Eten uses the similar processor as ours...
Samsung SC32442A 400MHz processor vs
Samsung S3C 2440 400 MHz Processor
well he's a bit dim then for making a big deal of it before he released it. if he released it first then apple would doubtfully have a leg to stand on to do anything about it.
its not using any of their code, its not making money. what makes it any different than Skins for windows etc.
This guy's good. Only a few weeks since the announcement of the iphone and he's already got a working slidelock & iphone-esque scrolling.
He's got to release. Be it via bittorrent, sendspace-etc where apple can't really touch him. He's not using their code, as gibbon said above, so all he has to do is lose the iphone graphics and apple can't really touch him.

Don't forget look and feel. You might recall that Apple tend to be a little sensitive about that.

I noticed a couple of threads here talking about a home switcher? I don't like the sense UI, it's phat, slows the devide down and doesn't visually look that much better to me, than plain android. Can I just get rid of it and get the plain android, that is prolly just another windows manager anyway!
yes you can, as described ion the thread 'hero without sens'
you just turn it off in apps and use the home app instead.
Thatnk you, followed it and it works a treat. Much better, suits me down to the ground. Defo not Sense UI for me then Incidentally, the accelerometer seems quicker now. Will investigate this some more...
No reason to own a hero if your not gonna use Sense UI.
You would have been better off with a magic for less money.
I bought it to try the sense UI, the realisty it doesn't work for me. It's pretty out of the box, but runs like a pig. The minute I switched back to standard, I have a very responsive phone. Right down to the accelerometer now takes a fraction of a second to flip the screen, rather than 3 - 5 on average. Defo not work it.
Will spend more time on these forums and find out what's available to download for it and really 'make it my own' ;-)
now that ive turned it off how do i turn it back on?
found it thanks.
That is a good question and one I've asked elsewhere. I really don't want it back, but would like to have another play and mainly have the option to 'switch it back on' as I feel like it..
If I get a response, I'll post here...

Hero has a better camera, multitouch, looks better, more RAM too doesn't it? Probably missing some stuff too.

You are a person who groans for a minute about a seconds frustration. I implore you to chill out.
If I get any more chilled, you'll be able to chisel ice cubes from my gonads! I buy a minimum of a phone a year and was waiting for the 'right' android phone to come out. I thought the hero was it, but it's not. It's slow with the sense UI, has a rubbish camera and the acceleromenter was a joke, out of the box. Dissapointment doesn't even cover it. For the record, I've been HTC for 2 years, apart from a 3 week interlude with an Omnia. Like it or not, the iPhone is the benchmark (for the record (again), I don't like it) and in usability terms, the Hero 'out of the box' doesn't come remotely close :-(
Thanks to an earlier helpful post, I now have something that is responsive enough to be possible to live with. Who knows, I may even chill a little ;-)
If running non-sense ui, does the new multitouch browser work? How about the People list with fb integrated? Those are the two things that matter the most off the top of my head...
Both things work.
Just check other phone's forum and you'll see how hasn't are dying to port the sense ui on their optimus 3g or their galaxy s2. It's funny but then it's sad looking at this forum and reading people hating the ui. imo I think it's fantastic. And I think other phone model owners think so too.

...what I think is sad are people who get phones with vanilla android trying to port sense, what I think is even more sad is people doing it completely different phones that have barely anything in common. read that as meaning: most **** is broken. and they are willing to put up with that, whereas I can't stand sense and that definitely played into my decision to return it.
To each his own. Something happened, slowly. The consensus used to be originally on the E4G forum that "we" liked AOSP more. Then I'd say a few months in up until a few months ago it was a pretty even split. Now it seems that the vast majority of "us" prefer sense.
<troll>Someone should ask cyanogen to make a sense version</troll>
grass is always greener on the other side
I like most of the Sense UI. In fact, I didn't even change the default weather widget based one. I also like the lock screen dock thing which is cool and saves me some steps.
I *think* the hate comes from two things. One, it is kind of a resource pig. Two, you are forced to use it as opposed to it being an option. Some people just doing like to have things forced on them. At least that's what my dates used to tell me !self-zing!
I must admit now that I have a device capable of running Sense properly, it is much better. With that said, it's still a bloated pig that eats up too much space and resources.

Android: It will make you a sexual tyrannosaurus, just like me.
IMHO i dont like Vanilla very much... Sure its lighter and faster, but why? Its a stripped version of android, looks very bland and boring when using core apps. Sense on the other hand gives it a much needed polish and adds tons of features and much better integration to services. Its not as fast as Vanilla but it offers so much like better integrated contacts and gallery, better copy paste, easy access settings and recent apps in the notification bar, very polished UI and core apps, in a nutshell anything the common user might need and im sure that the devs will close the speed gap when custom roms hit
Just my .02

The best part of android is if you have a good dev community you can have whatever you want on your phone. Hell I'd try touch wiz for awhile if someone made a good port.

I can see that point of view...and I'll admit, it has a few slick features. Mostly contact integration...that's pretty much it. Hold down 'home' in any version of Android to see the recent apps...no need to pull down.
But when I use an OS interface I use it to navigate around to applications. The applications being what I actually want to use. I don't care how sexy the operating system looks, it is a means to an end. I don't use OSX just to play with the dock, I don't use Windows XP just to **** around with Luna... hell, I didn't use DOS just to type 'dir' over and over again. I certainly never used Solaris solely to be tormented by CDE...nor OS/2 for WPS....
To each their own, of course. I'm more of a utilitarian anyway...and something that is slick looking, has superfluous features and a couple handy features that I could still live without is just fine...but when it consumes half of your goddamned ram that is double what it used to be....well...I just can't abide by that.
To me that's like getting a new car that has a fuel tank twice the size of last years model and gets less than half the miles per gallon too. wtf!?
It just offends my sensibilities. Once again, to each their own.

I am loving Sense 3.0. What I cannot believe though is even after all the version upgrades, they still have a settings button in the launcher and not something that might be useful!
What is even harder to believe is they still won't let us choose what apps we want in our launcher. You would think before they developed any other part of Sense that would be the first thing they addressed.
Maybe Steve Jobs created the launcher for HTC and that is what he wanted in it?
I love sense now. It has wonderful battery life and a pretty UI. If only I could hook the Wii remote to it. That would be hot. I don't care about speed test. It's fast enough.
I'd wish they made it possible to alphabetize shortcuts in folders. I love Sense 3.0!
As far as functionality, Vanilla takes the cake. However, Sense 3.0 isn't bad. In fact, it's quite usable.
As far as look/feel, Sense is beatiful...especially the widgets. I absolutely HATE those bland white menus though. However, AOSP ROMs are theme central (especially MIUI) and can be customized to perfection.
I prefer AOSP ROMs. Not because they contain no Sense, but because they are more customizable and take up less space.
My NS4G came with stock Android (which I prefer), but the dev support is not even a quarter of what the Evo has. That's why I bought an Evo 3D, and that's why I'm going to flash an AOSP ROM on it as soon as perm root is to be had.
So out of pure stubbornness... someone said sense takes up half your ram on your phone now are speaking of ram that your phone has avail for program usage or for storage becuase my phone seems to only be using 200 megs of ram with everything i have running on the phone and still has like 600 megs free for other stuff i never seem to run out of ram so i dont understand where your getting off saying this.... now if i am wrong please point me in the right direction to look and see sense taking up half my ram? also i used to have a HERO and let me tell you sense ran like old crusty dog dookie so it was gone as soon as i got my phone rooted... this phone i am totally happy with sense other than the fact that i cant seem to change some settings i would like to change. But thats to be expected and hopefully devs can add some new settings into this phone to make it more user freindly. but HTC you did a good job i am happy with this phone now unlock the damn thing already =)
Like they say, you never know what you had until its gon or something like dat lol
Bussin Caps n 3D
I don't terribly mind Sense, but I'm definitely jumping ship for vanilla as soon as it's an option.

Coming from a HERO stock e3D is a steller mind blowing experience I'm sure...coming from a highly tuned Evo4G it was 'okay, a little faster' at best. most of the time i didn't even notice a differene...not that there wasn't one, but it wasn't staggering enough to notice.

sense 3.0 is nice !! now that i can disable most of the bloatware its even faster
I'm enjoying sense 3.0 thus far. I only have 2 gripes. 1- I wish the notification drop down was accessible from the lock screen. I loved widget locker for this reason alone. 2- after opening the app drawer, selecting an app, then hitting home or back when done, I wish it would go back to the home screen rather than back to the app drawer.

I don't buy it... The story is a little too unbelievable, and it looks too much like the Icecream launcher that was available for download here last week. Possibly a skinned version.

Convenient that.
I call fake. The About screen strangely lists "Icecream Sandwich", but on every Android I've played with it would list the numerical designator (such as "2.3.4"). Things also appear more skinned than stock (I would hope Google has a bit better sense of graphic design than what I'm seeing there).

If that was real ICS, you think HTC is going to switch desktops from the HTC Sense one to the ICS one?
I doubt it but it would be cool to see them giving an option.
SUCH BS..
They wouldn't wipe it, they'd send out corporate security to buy the phone back and investigate the theft...
Wow. SO MUCH IMPROVEMENT. Real or not, widgets in the app drawer is nice. Also the home button feature is swagged out. I cant imagine CM8.

Ok, I just think it would be cool if someone was able to make a Pokedex UI theme. I'm not a huge fan or anything, I just know that thousands of people would instantly get this app if they thought they could turn their phones into Pokedex's.

Actually found a way to display the dex rotating which was pretty bloody easy really,well at least on my galaxy S4.Simply use the built in frames widget if your firmware supports it and it will rotate them,the drawback is that you can only display each pic for seven seconds before it rotates to the next,anyway just a though in case anyone fancies trying it
