Disable HTC Sense on the Desire

---

For the people that wanted to know if you can disable HTC Sense on the Desire, or just wanted to know how to do it:

Here is a short demonstration of how to disable HTC Sense on a Desire.

It's nice to know this is possible. IMO the stock version (Nexus One look) also has some nice benefits.

Sorry if this was already posted

thanks....

this what i needed to make my decision....


defintally a desire

thanks that what i was looking for..

so excited about getting the Desire...

But, I dont think that will completely stop all Sense processes.

The Sense framework is still being used, CMIIW.

All Sense on Android is, is a few apps.

The main one being the Launcher which you can disable as seen in that video.

There's then the Messaging and Dialler apps which you can replace with stock apps (without being rooted).

That's about it apart from the fact you'd be left with a Black notification tray instead of a White one and a far superior lock screen.

IMO, i dont think someone would disable the Sense (maybe just to see how the plain Nexus One looks like ).

and we have 576 MB RAM; I dont think we should worry about "apps that run in the background"

Jup I found out that even if you disable Sense, tbere will still be some 'behind the scenes' Sense stuff going on. Like for example, Stock 2.1 only supports 5 homescreens instead of 7.

So if you REALLY want the fast Stock 2.1 experience, disable Sense is not enough. You will have to put a real stock 2.1 ROM on it, or how it is called.

Anyway, most people probably wont have any problems with this.

Speaking of stock 2.1 rom being faster than the one with Sense UI.

How much faster is it? Is it very noticeable?

Keeping the HTC framework will be to the owner's advantage, some of the HTC apps that don't run on a stock Android rom will then work properly.
