Social fans, get ready!
I don't like sense. Yust my opinion, but you were asking for it right
I do like some features of it, but mostly i like my ROM clean (like CM)
No, I was asking if you think it's Sense 3.0 on that screenshot.

Ok, then is was misinterpreting
If it indeed is Sense 3.0, i have no idea. But is looks like an original. If i am right, the Sense interface is protected by HTC.
looks like the same sense that is used on the Desire Z/HD
With my understanding should be sense 2.0?
That's photoshop'd - why would HTC put new Sense on a Wildfire before any of the high end devices??
It could be a custom creation, but i doubt it that HTC would like that.

That's not Wildfire, but Wildfire 2.
As for Sense, there are distinguishing features on launcher:
1. 1.0 -> Up arrow | Phone | Plus button
2. 2.0 -> Up arrow | Phone | Customization button
3. ?3.0 -> List button | Phone | Customization button
Of course, it could be updated Sense 2, maybe 2.5.
Still doesn't mean it's not super imposed onto it does it?
Promo videos always show things off that aren't real
looks like it could be more of a hack than an update (or photoshop as suggested)
No, not fake:

As I said, likely to be super-imposed - until I see a functioning handset and video proof I'll assume it's not real
Also without optical trackpad like the new desire 2, too bad i don't use it often but sometimes i really need it.

I only just saw that and came back to this thread to put that link up myself!
Didn't see the ad/know about it till just now
It's pretty clear it ain't fake. So the only question remains: Is it upgraded Sense 2 or brand new Sense 3? We will find out after week or so.
Sense "2.0" most likely.
Seriously, what makes this real?? Heard of concept designs??
As I said, until I see a fully working handset being demo'd in a video I will consider this a marketing venture and nothing more. You guys keep believing it's real...it's like me editing a home screen and taking a picture and going "yeah look at my new Sense 20.1"

Could be, however after scouring the internet for articles about weather the origional HTC Desire was going to get the HTC Desire HD Sense update, I couldn't find a thing. So I did what no one dares do, and sent an E-Mail to HTC. Surprisingly, this is the reply I got.
Dear Michael James Stott,
Thank you for contacting HTC, regarding the HTC Sense.
Sense at the moment is only incorporated into our newer devices as we aim to show progression. However when the updates come in from Google for us to configure. There will often be some suprises in the update but the software engineers wont even tell us as its all network depended.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 11GBCW07ENA001487.
Sincerely,
Mohammed
HTC
Now although 'Mohammed' hasn't confirmed anything there, surely it looks promising and its better than a template reply of 'we are not allowed to comment' or whatever they put?

HTC evo can run (out of the box) stock android w/ nexus launcher and all.
http://htcdev.net/topic/11584-sprint-evo-4g-working-without-sense-ui/
I don't know if this has been posted before, since I'm in a rush to prom I havent been able to check. anyways, htc has done another thing right. yay! haha
1. There is already a topic about this.
2. There is NO WAY to run the phone without Sense UI without installing a custom ROM. Sense UI is highly integrated into the OS. The video that you see is the EVO running launcher2.apk instead of Rosie.apk (the Sense home app). This is nothing new or exciting, so I wish people would stop making damn topics about it.
Hey man, you gotta understand i didnt search and couldnt search. Also, i know you cant completely replace sense ui on a stock rom but some people like the launcher2.apk better. So sorry for double posting bud

For many this is true. For others, I suspect there are multiple motivations for wanting a pure android. I suspect most fall into one or more of 3 categories.
They may want pure as the driven snow Open Source Android
They might want as few of what they don't need as possible for increased resources
They simply don't like the HTC and it's prettiness
To each his own. As long as you're on Android, we are on the same side. Viva La Evo! Viva Android! Death to Apple!
I like Android Sense. Makes the transition from WM6.5 Sense a lot smother for me
I dont think anyone would deny that fact that Sense looks amazing. I just want to shut it off to save my battery. From what i hear, sense is quite the juice hog.

You won't save much battery if you turn Sense off. Unless you just have pages full of self updating widgets or something.
love the 2.1 UI.im GOING for that instead of the SENSE
Yeah... I'm looking forward to a stock froyo EVO as soon as possible... best of luck to those with the skill to make it happen
Or at least sense with the stock 2.2 launcher. I actually like the default contacts and messaging apps for sense. Not to mention the clock is way better too, and camera has tap to focus. One thing AOSP has for me though is the look, the white and orange are very appeasing for some reason.
im jus hopeing HTC keeps their promise of updating the SUPERSONIC in july to FROYO 2.2(love the UI).gonna love the phone even more.

hhmm, goofy quote, I'll say that.
HTC Sense is "attractive", but not for everyone.
The first time I played with Sense was on a Hero ROM on my G1. Then again with the Desire ROM on my Nexus.
Even with the Nexus speed increase, it was definitely NOT sexy.
I really like the Plain Jane look of Android™ raw.

That is the Sense UI 3.0 Lockscreen.
It cant be included just like that in any other ROM without Sense 3.0, since its dependant on the Sense 3.0 Framework.
Currently Sense 3.0 is being ported to various HTC Devices, but since HTC introduced a new file format ".m10", which includes all the Layout-Data like position, scale and animation data for all the Sense Elements, it requires quite some coding work to get an ".m10-Editor" to fix the current resolution and position issues.
So, only way to get this new Lockscreen, we have to wait until Sense 3.0 has been officially "cracked open"
Brilliant thanks for the reply
And that's the answer.

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!

Viewing the specs, it's very similar to DS.
But, its battery is non-detachable.
Is this an indirect way to recognise that removing battery may be dangerous?

Hello fellow XDA-Dev Desire S owners.
So, it seems, that the upcoming FOTA update for the Desire S(Saga) will not feature the Sense 4.0, instead of it, we will be getting the Sense 3.6 and with it we will lose the beloved Sense 3 bottom menu bar in the stock HTC Sense skin and it will be replaced by the hideous "box" layout of the newer Sense UI
For me, that was enough of a reason to flash my Desire S and install the Endymion V3.5 ROM.
What do other XDA-Dev users think about this "update"?
This has been known for a while and to be honest I'm fine with it. In fact we're lucky to be receiving an update. If I were HTC I'd do the same. If old phones are updated to sense 4.0, who's going to buy new phones? Business is business.
I think the look is much sleeker as well. I prefer it
Also it may just be easier to stick to the off topic thread

Afraid you may be alone disliking the 'box', I think it's a great step forward, making proper use of the screen space, with more icons

For 1 the new ICS dock bar looks NOTHING like you described and as you pictured. our bar goes all the way to end of the screens. the 1 u pictured is sense 4a our new bar is elegant and beautiful. most people are glad to get rid of that old sense bar. For me its all about moving on and the newer the better. if u want the beautiful stock GB bar then DONT bother upgrading. Or u can simply mod your rom to have the old dock bar dont open a thread just to slag off a rom you clearly know NOTHING about
IMHO...Its nice with the newer looks..u get a lot of customisation option here...create shortcuts and folders...earlier sense seems liked it didn't used the screenspace provided..

Think that the HTC update is a great thing that they are doing, too many times people are moaning that they cant get the updated version.
You can always run a Virtuous one though or even the the AOKP Ver 36 from tectas that is amazing
Why bother with Sense 3.6 if we have Nova Launcher? It's much more fast then this HTC bloatware named Sense.
I think the best idea for this thread, is to change the title to discussion of Sense 3.6 in general. That way more of us can engage into conversation, talking about bugs, and what we'd like tweaks we'd like to see implemented in future releases.
looks forward to it very much
Personally i loved the update, the battery is simply amazing and the issues that i was having with the usb are gone (flaky usb, when switching modes i had to click it thrice, regardless of ROM) the performance is swell and i think the camera quality ~might~ be better?
Even if we don't like sense 3.6, it just means that we're going to have more options soon (CM9, AOKP, MIUI, Etc..) which ALREADY run like a charm on our DS.
Cheer up people ^w^
