Guest nekromantik Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 they said its not the default homescreen and also there are a few orange widgets that can be removed too.

Guest laserman123 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I got mine yesterday on Orange. Can't find any branding anywhere... Comes with 4gb micro sd card too!! Fabulous phone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eyeloose Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Got mine last night from Orange. Back cover has the Orange logo plastered onto it. On power up, you get the Orange logo appear for a second or so. The default Sense scene is some ugly Orange one that reminded me of my old SVP M3100. The "Internet" icon is an Orange version. There are several demo's that I can't seem to get rid of - Have tried "settings - applications - manage" but no option to remove. I also tried the Android market and Orange's own "AppShop" but still no option to remove. That's all I've noticed so far in comparisons to the unbranded models I've seen. Anyone managed to get rid of these demo's without too much farting around? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jonnyw2k Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Tried: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...r-t-mo-handset/ should completely debrand the software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lukehluke Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I think its pretty much the same as T-Mobiles branding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and can you still use all the live wallpapers etc? You can update all widgets and still use live wallpapers Hope this helps. (i updated mine to generic software using the gold card route) Didn't like the silly demo apps that couldn't be removed. I'm a neat freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The branding on my Virgin is just the boot splash, Virgin scene and Virgin homepage. Got mine from a virgin shop as the deals were better than online.

Guest nekromantik Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Does anyone know if someone will be able to extract a Orange ROM so that if someone on orange has insurance and they debrand, then if they need to get it replaced they can reflash the Orange ROM in case orange refuse to give a replacement cause of changed ROM?
