Lets face it I'm a ui guy.
I think vanilly android is just plain ugly.
I've been using the sense build for a few days and it runs perfect and sense is beautiful.
But then my Co worker had me help her with her Droid 2, which has blur.
So now I'm torn between using sense or blur.
Opinions ?

IMO sense is much better than blur.
But for about the same money what would you prefer? Defy (480x854 3.7" screen, 2g rom, 800mhz cpu) with blur, or Aria (320x480 3.2" screen, 512m rom, 600mhz cpu) with sense? Mind you that there are thousands of applications to improve the interface and your experience

Exactly! I am very happy with LauncherPro. It is very customizable and it runs smooth. I like the slick look my phone has now, a look that is impossible with both launchers the TS is considering.
Hi guys.
I'm thinking of getting LGO3d. Will it be possible to put sense on there??

I presume if/when custom roms come you might... but dear god why? Even when I've had HTC mobiles I always get rid of hat [email protected] The Widgets LG use are just as good if you like that sort of thing.

It will be possible if some dev make Sense ROM
I look forward to that too This is great phone and with ROM's it will be ever better
Personally i have owned a HTC Desire and a Sensation which i still have but the desire i gave to my brother. But i love the LG's custom UI and would not change it for sense sorry but would try it if custom roms came out but overall the custome ui by LG is good enough for the LG i like it alot...
LG custom IU is good,but sometimes I just want some change and something eye candy like Sense it would be nice to have some ROM options so that everyone chooses what they like
sense needs 300mb free so I doubt it will work

It would eat up your ram and battery more than what the LG custom UI. ...
I own both an htc and an lg phone, though sense is smoother and well polished i still find the LG launcher better cause its simplier and is the closest thing to stock android.

No,Evo 3D has Sense 3.0...but that's not the point...the point is that if HTC Magic with 528 Mhz CPU and 288 MB RAM can run it, then trust me O3D with Dual Core CPU and 512MB RAM will own it

Sense is lush, I love the animated weather and clock etc. Should be able to as EVO 3d will have sense so it should be quite an easy port?? Especially with EVO being 3d. Will just wait for EVO. Apparently its tomorrow and better specs etc.... Love HTC phones, never fail to impress
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
having gone from Desire to Optimus 3D I can't say I miss sense at all, then again I always had custom ROMs or stock with a different launcher. I don't think there's a need for all the stuff HTC put on there to eat memory. I'd rather have a quick phone that did what I want rather than suff put there for me that I'll never use
I had a custom rom on my Samsung Portal because the original Samsung one was bloated and slow. The LG ui is fast, slick and works great. I'd suggest you just try first and if you don't get on with it custom roms will be here soon enough.

If you want this phone for 3d then the Evo isn't as good as the O3D, the reviews say the same the 3d effect isn't as good on the Evo.

And even though technically the specs are better (1,2GHz dualcore vs 1GHz dualcore and 1GB vs 512MB internal memory) the Evo3D scores quite a bit lower in Smartbench and Quadrant.

Exactly.. it now comes to the point which hardware design can utilize resource more efficient. It reminds me of our dessktop processors.. where an i5 and i3 processors are of same speed say 2.2 Ghz, but you know i5 will perform better than i3. So it looks like LG made a good bet on choosing the right dualcore cpu.
between, talking about UI, both sense and TW4 (SGS2) use up quite a bit of memory. So they need more memory for sure. I tried to use TW4 on SGS before, with the trim down port for SGS, I can only squeeze around 70~120mb free memory most of the time. While using the original TW3, I can manage to get 200~250mb free most of the time. There you can see why the extra 512 is needed.
You can always download htc keyboard, use sense ADW and a sense weather widget...
So I wanted to upgrade to a new phone like the amaze but it makes sense to wait two more or 3 months for the quad core processor phones right guys? Let's hear some feeback and what are you gonna do? Wait it out too??
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yea, I agree. I get bored easily, this is the first phone I've kept for this long (about a year). At first, I was looking at a gradual upgrade, something like a sensation or a g2x... Then I figured if I'm gonna spend $$, might as well just do it for the long haul & look into an amaze, galaxy s2 or even wait for a galaxy nexus... After all is said & done, I'm still using my glacier & will continue to do so. We've got an awesome dev section & something better will always be just ahead of the curve, but I'm definitely waiting for 2012...

Yea bro I feel ya..it'll be best to wait it out cause if I buy a phone I might as get one that will be quad and better camera and faster processor..I love my mytouch it has been with me through alot

I'm interested in the HTC ville. Not quad core but the krait dual core processor looks interesting. Especially since ICS is optimized for dual core.

+1...next phone will probably be the Edge when it drops. specs are pretty awesome
Rumored samsung galaxy s3
currently researching sg2 and nexus prime..
Wait for the quad core nexus. Quad cores will have better architectures and will be more stable,better battery life, and etc.

The Ville is the 4.3" ICS phone right? That sounds so much nicer size-wise than the massive Galaxy Nexus. Should come out more compact than the Amaze or Sensation due to the removal of buttons.
However the render appears to have a screen aspect ratio of 1.64 or so, which is closer to the 5x3 of an 800x480 display than the 16x9 (1.777) of a qHD display. So the render is misshapen.

Yes the ville is the 4.3" screen one. Same screen as the RAZR i believe. Its gonna be nice because the 28nm processor allows for it to be really thin. So it shouldn't be much heavier than the MT4G.

it will come with 1.5GH snapdragon s4 processor and here's the full specification of it. A 4.3-inch qHD (960×540) Super AMOLED display; a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor; 8MP camera on the back with 1080p HD video capture; a 1,650mAh battery; HSPA+-connectivity; and Beats Audio Technology. The handset will apparently measure in at only 8mm thick,will launch with Android 4.0, and will also launch HTC’s Sense 4.0 overlay.
I'm just gonna wait for the next Nexus. Saves me the headache of whether my phone will have the latest Android software.

Ugh, when you say same screen as the RAZR, I hope you don't mean including the PenTile matrix. I thought I wouldn't notice it at qHD resolution, but I tried it in store and the colour fringing was just awful.

Unfortunately yes. I never seen the RAZRs screen. Didn't think it was that bad, if at all :/

If you are waiting for the greatest smartphone you will be waiting forever, there is always going to be a rumor about a supposed OMG smartphone RIGHT before you was about to purchase the smartphone you thought was awesome. In my opinion, to have a really satisfying smartphone experience there needs to be great utilization of software and hardware. Software is something that has always been a bit of a hindered on devices with custom skins (most of the Android ecosystem). The only ways to really circumvent this is to either buy a Nexus devices or root your device in HOPES of finding a solid ROM to flash. I think this makes the decision quite easy, buy the Galaxy Nexus.
Galaxy Nexus over HTC One X:
*Stock Ice Cream sandwich, let's face it sense is not neccesary anymore
*The fastest updates in the android world
*Virtual buttons
*Amoled Blacks will always be better than lcd/lcd2
* Battery life: Probably better because amoled doesnt have a backlight
*Removable battery
HTC One X over Galaxy Nexus:
*Quad core cpu
*Better gpu
*No pentile screen
*Better camera
Which one would you choose and why?
GNexus, bigger modding community, better cyanogenmod support.
Go For Nexus!
No way
Friend of mine has a nexus. No way would I get one. Dual core no thanks.
One x for me next month.

Why would you say that?
The nexus is dirt cheap now, 500 $ on amazon and the one x is 675 $ on negrielectronics, decisions decisions
GNEX its stock and has better support. Stock also gets updates quicker.
I love my desire s but unfortunately its hardware is now outdated but it seems HTC is releasing its successor "desire x" with respectable hardware I'd love to buy it if it comes with respective price what do you guys think?

the one thing I hate about one s is only 16gb memory and no memory card slot and for me 16 gb isn't enough
so that's why I think desire x is very good package it is not like have awesome hardware but very good hardware and also use the one series camera n chipset so it is a good package

Oh, I wasn't comparing the One S with the Desire X, just that when the One S came out it felt like a successor, unibody, good hardware.. mid/high price range.
I agree however with what you said, the lack of expansion might bother some, I personally don't make use of my SD card that much on my desire S but I can easily imagine some people doing so.
Do keep in mind the screen is only WVGA which is quite poor for today's standards.

That's the only down side of desire x I guess and HTC also haven't declared the processor s3 or s4 I guess desire x is targeted for midrange as desire s was

One S is way too big, this Desire X is really sexy I think it will be my next phone, but I am afraid about the Adreno 203 GPU (our Desire S has 205)...
Anyway, I'll wait for it to be unlocked and 1st MIUI port done, I need MIUI as my OS.
True. But keep in mind that the Desire S and Desire X has the same screen resolution. Based on my research. It will have Full Sense 4. It should be much easier to port than resizing.

Actually I saw some advised post on gsmarena about Desire X that changed my mind, especially the HSDPA thing :
Frndz i wana share something.
This phone has =>
* no scratch resistant glass protection
* no hd video recording
* no front camera
* only cortex A5 cpu no cortex A9 cpu (some games need cortex a9)
* no adreno 205 gpu only adreno 203 gpu
* no dual sim
* not hot swepable micro sd card
* no sutter key for camera
* only 233 ppi density (so not much crispy in browsing)
* poor screen viewing angle
* no adobe flash
* no beats Audio head phone in the box (have to buy separatly and it will cost around $10 or 550INR)
* only hsdpa 7.2 mbps not 14.4 mbps
* no on-the-go support (otg) functionality
* no Dvix-Xvid support out of the box
* only 5 mp camera
* no document editor out of the box (have to pay for install separatly )
* no dedicated mic for active noice cancellation
* no HDMI port for tv oupput
* only 4gb internal memory in which only 1gb is for user avilable
* no [email protected] video playback (not confirmed)
* no NFC
Very-Sorry for any mistake if i did .
So guys think before buy.
I will suggest xperia u and samsung galaxy ace 2 in this price tag.

MSM8960, dual-core Krait, this is the same chip as GS III, ONE X, LUMIA 920, XPERIA GX/SX and other high end phones.
Good thing is it should make the ROM ports easier xD
This is definitly going to be my next phone.
I am not really sure about the Desire X perfs, dual core should give it better perfs in system and 2D stuff like using the browser or navigating in menus, but in 3D apps (games) it should have similar perfs as the Desire S.
