Noob question about Vanilla Android


Recommended Posts

Posted

Sorry for the noob question but my only experience of Android is the Hero so far.

I'm curious about what I'd be missing if I tried one of the Custom 2.1 ROMs? I appreciate that the Sense UI is an HTC thing but does android have any kind of native multi homescreen support or are you limited to just one. I understand that there are apps that can expand the real estate available if this is the case.

I'm getting a bit impatient with the HTC 2.1 release that just seems to keep getting further and further away and fancied trying a 2.1 ROM.

There are 2.1 ROM's with sense UI built in, so you don't have to get rid of it completely. The AOSP ROM's do have multiple screens: 1.6, and 2.0 have 3 screens, 2.1 has 5 natively but most of the 2.1 ROM's only have 3.

KaguDroid 1.1.3 has 7 screens, rotaing homescreen and is responsive and stable

Thanks folks that really helps. I take it the 'Sense' bit is just the ability to customise those homescreens? What is it that HTC have added if its not the multiple screens?

Also, do I need a different SDK to do adb?
