Guest hally83 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I'm struggling to see how you've come to the opinion that this is a disappointment. Firstly, I'm not sure why you're expecting HTC to change their Sense UI feel and look. This is what makes an HTC phone, a HTC phone - the UI is there to give the phone an identity and reason for the consumer to buy over another brands product. It's not stock Android, it's Android and Sense - it's supposed to be different to just Android, hence why it doesn't have the 3D application draw. I agree with you that the 3D application draw looks awesome and I would prefer it but it was never going to happen. I've tried every FroYo ROM going, it's an enjoyment to test things on my phone unlike when I used to own an iPhone 3G, but I keep going back to Sense based ROMs because the default Android email client just isn't good enough. The features in the HTC Email application are major plus points for me, the ability to set my out of office if I forget to before jumping in the car, the fact I can send meeting requests and view email trails in conversation layout. I would imagine the new Gallery will have been removed as HTC have their own, but just like the Cool Iris Gallery, you can probably install that to work side by side. You also have to remember that this ROM will be less hacked together than the current ASOP and Port builds, all of which still have a lot of bugs in them. From what I can gather you don't like Sense, so you can still use this ROM and use Launcher Pro on top of it for your 3D Application Draw. it's not that I dont like sense per se, it just the more I use Vanilla the more Sense feels like bloatware. On my Hero, copilot was painfully slow on sense and on vanilla Android it was a revelation! Sense does add a nice polish and some good extra's, but personally I prefer vanilla (yes, maybe I should have bought an N1!) Again, the reason I was personally disappointed by that video is that HTC could have at least taken advantage of the new UI features in froyo. Surely it wouldn't have meant a full re-design to include those small features that make the phone nicer to use. Anyway, this is turning into a pointless discussion and I am clearly alone in my thoughts! Here's hoping we get a decent 2.2 rom soon, whatever the flavour :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FatherD Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Anyway, this is turning into a pointless discussion and I am clearly alone in my thoughts! Here's hoping we get a decent 2.2 rom soon, whatever the flavour :) Not alone on this one! I have used sense on a Hero for the best part of a year, now on my Desire. I recently bit the bullet and went for Paul's r21 FroYo. I can only say that I will be waiting for Paul to offer some rooted versions with and without sense! I have very quickly ended up on the fence, and will need to try them both .. I think without will be cleaner and faster. Either way I will be very glad to see everything working as it should.

Guest sonojo Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 For what reason do you not believe the video from you tube is a leaked rom? where is the Pinch to Zoom? in the video I don't see any pinch zoom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jagdish Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Was said over at XDAs that pinch to zoom works flawlessly, just a note on the discussion bout the Sense UI and how HTC did or did not change it, may i remind you that this is a leaked version and may not be the final version that will be laid out by HTC, maybe theyre looking into adding a couple of more things maybe they dont, i guess we'll know when it hits us via OTA...

Guest zizoom Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 When the Rom will be released there will be dozen of ROMS to choose from ... so why complaining ? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThomasJ Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I wouldn't hold my breath for the official Froyo rom for Desire. The timetable HTC is looking at is apparently "before Christmas" to quote Eric Lin @ HTC http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/34139/htc-...elays-explained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spammyspam Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I think most people here would be more than happy with a functional leak :). Will make transitioning to any official ROM that much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest the-fallen Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 @pfsykes The ROM will already provide you root access (was written by one of the devs in the xda-developers Thread about the Droid ROM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pfsykes Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 @pfsykes The ROM will already provide you root access (was written by one of the devs in the xda-developers Thread about the Droid ROM). I did try the http://tinyurl.com/3xru6j7 02-jul-r21-modaco-custom-rom-for-htc-desire-with-online-kitchen-froyo-frf91 and found a few issues with bootup and performance when scroling for apps. At least this version will have Sense UI included. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the-fallen Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I tried this one, too and had some problems as well. But the ROM over at XDA seems to be a (leaked?) Desire-Specific ROM (so I guess because of the background-story of it). I hope it runs more stable. The ROM you and I tried was taken from the NexusOne I guess, and with some adaptions to be usable on the Desire. How ever, I will try this new ROM, too.
