It seems 2.0 is much closer than was initially thought. Wonder if this update is coming to magics and g1s or if it's only coming on new, higher res screen phones.

It looks great but from what is on display it doesnt look too heavy, like sense.
It's funny how things get leaked from HTC all the time and so early in progress
Really looking forward to this update.

Possibly the Moto Sholes/Droid? With blur turned off?
Why is it that 32a users still havent gotten 1.6 and now we are already waiting for 2.0?
HTC you suck....

One of the pictures actually says "model: droid" so aparently you are right...
Looks like they finally hired some REAL designers to replace the freaking ugly icons android uses now.
Awesome
I wonder how long we will have to wait
ah this looks so sweet, im bored of 1.6 and there really isnt a hero rom that runs smooth enough on a voda magic. this looks much better, lets hope it get released for porting and is smooth!!
Can't wait for 2.0, I like what I see, the new icons are so much better. And finally multi-select in the email app! Hope there's a leak soon
How do we which of these are these are features of 2.0 which are features of the moto droid rom? The artwork, icons and lockscreen etc, for example, I bet they are not standard features of android 2.0.
Still looks pretty cool though! Someone needs to do a nandroid of it and post it here!!

It seems that Droid is a Google Experience phone and therefore Motorola could not have messed with the ROM.
I like some of the "squareness", it seems cleaner and less "bubbly". As mentioned by others, I'm concerned that some of the things I like are actually Motorola-specific, although it's mostly all visual stuff so I can see themes being able to mimic this anyhow if necessary. I bet the icons and the lock screen are Motorola's.
I'm a little ambivolent about the "driver mode" stuff. I don't know that drivers should be doing anything with their phones AT ALL while they are at the wheel. I think it would have been better to eschew that custom screen and just have optional use of voice commands throughout the interface. Then again, it's still legal to use phones while driving in many countries, so I suppose this was necessary to stay ahead of the competition.
that looks sweet. can't wait.
i just hope i see official support for bluetooth profiles like obex.
and also more video support for avi, mkv etc.

Why is no one porting MotoBlur and Pulse to the Sapphire MT3G? Why is everyone so stuck on Hero?
There HAVE been blur ports in the past. Do a little research before you make generalized statements. And Hero is more popular because it already came off an HTC device. It's easier to cook.
Please do just a little research before creating a new topic!
now the real question is why we dont see these for the 32a
Moto Blur & Pulse
Question, and maybe someone can direct me where to find it but whats the difference between Pulse, and Motoblur?
Polaris and Ronni... I did research before posting and found only one pulse rom and 3 motoblur roms compared to the hundreds of hero roms. My post was simple and just a question. Why? That was all. If I was a youngster with no forum know how, then your down talking would be understood. Thanks anyway.

Sorry but your post "Why is no one porting MotoBlur and Pulse to the Sapphire MT3G?" makes it seem like you didn't research at all. Like polaris0352 wrote is that Hero is easier to cook plus it's more popular. But i hope it won't be long before we start to see more non-htc roms for our magics!
I think part of the reason is that GPS and WiFi don't work, which means the uptake is a lot less. Once WiFi and GPS are working (which apparently won't happen until Dragon is available) then I'd bet more ports of these roms will start to appear. I like Blur and would make it my permanent rom if the wireless wasn't an issue.

because hero comes from an HTC phone wich would lead one to believe it would be much easier to run on our HTC phones...
motoblur was alright didnt like the feel and its hard to make moto and HTC play nice
Pulse....welll.... i think pulse sucked others like it though
I know there are at least 3 pulse roms that are decent and there are 2-3 blur roms that run enough to use

Im running a Blur Rom that WiFi is working on but there were no instructions on partition setup, if any. It is real smooth but when I put my own wallpaper on, it seems to slow down a bit.

Can you Post a Link to the WiFi working Blur?
I've not seen any Blur with WiFi working at all due to the Kernel requirements.
I will have to find the link for you guys. The Rom is running on my MT3G 32B Rooted. Im going to assume that the WiFi works for that Im using WiFi Tether to connect to the internet with my laptop as I type. I will get a link after while. The file name is MotoCliq_v0.5.zip. I think Drizzy put it out. Not for certain though.

The reason for the lack of ports is honestly the firmware being so tied to social aspects. All the "cool" features are in the UI with the social stuff, but the rest of the firmware... well... sucks. I ported both and got bored in a couple days. Hero has new dumps and new versions of sense and the prospect of updating to 1.6 and eventually 2.0 These are done. One dump, one version, no projected future. Not much room to grow. Hero has all the features this does and then some, with the exception of universal inbox and the way launcher reacts. Pulse isnt really much of a ROM, either. Its just a cool UI and a bunch of paid apps put together into a firmware.

I hear ya. I just get tired of looking at the same bottom bar and out of all the times I try to ask for help, no one wants to share on how to get started making my own with my own look. I have seen a hero rom with a somewhat Pulse bottom bar and it looked killer but the slowness of the rom was not bareable.
I actually flashed the new Andriod 2.0 Eclair to my phone. It is a stripped down Rom and has nothing in it but MAN do I like the lock screen and menu play. Very nice, clean and cool. I wish I had Eclair with a MotoBlur look and feel and Hero internals. I do like Blur's social widgets. Nice!
i just saw this video and heard a rumor that the 2nd gen samsung moment running android 2.1 will have this UI built in it. looks amazing and super fast! if this is released could it be ported to the hero at all? looks like a great alternative to sense IMO.
thoughts?

i've never tried it but i think it looks pretty sleek also.
although after having a moment for 3 weeks and returning it for the hero it will take a lot more than a sleek ui to ever get me to buy another samsung phone.
I heard that same rumor. I don't think there'd be anything stopping it from being ported being that it would simply be a home replacement. It my not even need to be ported at all.. just push an apk and some libs maybe.
That samsung wave is definitely not an android phone though.

TouchWiz
Did this ever get ported? Would really love to see this, as I really love it's interface. Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, but I DID search the forums and google didn't come up with anything.
Its horrible. Been playing with it on our demo epic at work and its just bad. It feels really bulky and slow and looks cheap.
This looks cool, but kind of engineered to be over simplified. Reminds me of an iphone, but for kids. Haha
It seems like this version of touchwiz can be ported, but don't some things, like the toggles on the drop down bar, need edits to the frameworks to make them work? Seems to me like a Wave ROM would be a better idea to get sell of the features of touchwiz. I wouldn't mind that, as the Samsung lockscreen looks really cool. (slide in any direction to unlock).

I have an Epic and I am really enjoying the interface, would like to put on my Hero as well. If not the functionality, at least the format/color scheme would be nice.
I've been working on this since yesterday and I made quite some nice progress I must say. The launcher works like a charmn, it's very smooth and of course eye candy.
Here are some screenshots proving that it works on the Nexus One.
See this post for the release : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709763

honestly, I'm interested in looking at the hardware and the screens. You could very well get a stock android 2.1. 2.2, etc. on the Vibrant but I really want to see how well the screen looks and how snappy the phone is overall.

NexuS has pretty same hardware. Even better cam..
I sold NexuS because I missed some of the sense things:
the stock dialer has NO t9 search - most dialer from market are crap or slow or somehow frickled on the stock dialer. Even old nokia do have a quick search option...
Stock contacts are ugly.
GAL (global adress list for exchange server) is NOT implemented in android 2.x - only in 3.0; but it's implemented since sense1 (hero)
CM had some issues - espacially with the notification bar/speed settings - on 2.3 - the new sense 3.0 lockscreen and notification bar are very good - so no need for CM at the moment - for _me_
So I deleted most of sense.apk from /system on my DesireS (all widgets, all "htc", like route66, amazon, stockexchange..) and do use adw-launcher instead of rosie (don't delete it cause is needed for lockscreen settings!) - but do have integrated company exchange and a good biult in dialer, cool contacts (with flickr and fb content) and nice lockscreen..

Sense is THE BEST ANDROID UI, EVAR. Don't know why people wanna "DE-SENSE" their phones. I'm gonna flash CM7 to see what the fuss is about , but sense 3.0 first Hopefully, the new official version of CM7 will come for DS too. I'd rather let the ports pass on...........

There's plenty of HTC phones out there that are running custom ROMs and customised user interfaces that don't rely on Sense. It may be the "out of the box experience" as far as most HTC phones are concerned, but isn't that what all THIS (ie these forums) is about - customisations, and thinking "out of the box"? (no pun intended, haha).
If we all concentrated on Sense and variations on that theme then this community would be a much poorer one.
Peace
sense ftw!
Well, i love sense, but i am porting the cm7 just so people have the choose, and also to make the development on this device more alive
But personally, Sense is the thing!
