No HTC sense 3.0 for us...

lowkey69ac · Apr 14, 2011

That sucks.... HTC Sense 3.0 will only support Sensation, EVO 3D, Flyer and newer devices; older hardware left behind -- Engadget

Kibbster · Apr 14, 2011

I expect it would run like a total pig on our older hardware anyway.

Dude, one word. Root!

Not all is lost, From Facebook:

HTC
Clarification: There are aspects of the latest HTC Sense that won’t work on some of our previous devices. We are working to incorporate other aspects that will. Stay tuned.

GingaB · Apr 14, 2011

Wudnt surprise me If we got the "cut down" version of HTC 3.0

Dudditz · Apr 14, 2011

Would imagine it would totally kill the Desire such is the power needed to run it...

sookster54 · Apr 14, 2011

That new unlock screen is daft, I don't think I would like it at all as I just like the standard slide down Sense unlock bar.

Not even getting sense 2.1 by the looks of it. Thankfully I have rooted so will enjoy the desire S Rom with sense 2.1

Abdur · Apr 14, 2011

Screw this. If/when I root, I will be flashing the Desire S rom.

Specs are very similiar, so shouldnt be an issue

we are talking bout Sense 3.0 the UI on HTC devices, not actually Android 3.0 HoneyComb OS system....two different things entirely..

lekky · Apr 16, 2011

HTC rep told me that the desire will get the same sense that the desire s runs. Not the one that the Sensation runs.

EddyOS · Apr 17, 2011

Hope so, but tbh the leaked ROM is pretty much 100% stable at the mo

SHiFT3R · Apr 17, 2011

who cares... there are so many other launchers/uis out there to use..

Sense is more than just a launcher.

lekky · Apr 17, 2011

Playing wit the sensation, the new sense that has is pretty sweet tbh. Its hugely better than the desire sense (which i dont like anymore).

The new sense has some cool 'wow' features like the new lockscreen, spinning homescreens etc.

actually to be fair, Sense is just really a launcher and widgets....theres not really a vast amount to it that cant be replaced with 3rd party apps...I mean the ONLY part of sense I see now is the gallery (cos I dont like the 3D one), dialler and contacts....the rest is 3rd party apped out with a seperate launcher on top...

oh actually saying that...I have actually gone back to the original Sense lockscreen just for the password lock....was lil pissed with the sense lock coming up with widget locker if I put password on..

yea but to be fair the desire's sense is quite old, but it had the same kinda "wow" factor back then....

I reckon people will be like "Oooo wow" for a month...then they will be bored....then rooting, rom'ing and launchers will be abound

Sense is still the best launcher IMO - it's widgets aren't matched by anything else. Shame it slows things down a fair bit

I dont thinks so really...I mean it doesnt hold the custom attitude that 3rd party ones do...which most people tend to prefer..

I mean, with old sense for example...I dont want a on screen button to ADD things to the screen when I can either press the menu hard key to bring up the same thing, or long press the screen..

it just seems like that would cut their nose off to spite their face a lil....adding needless things in..

DC E1G · Apr 17, 2011

Sense for me will never be about the launcher honestly, I just like the little stuff here and there. Leedroid's new stripped sense is actually pretty slick, because it removes the behemoth that is the launcher but keeps all the nice little stuff. Best of both world's for me, because it speeds things up while keeping the sense-related stuff I actually want.

I'm not surprised we won't get 3.0 though in all honesty, we're not exactly cutting-edge anymore. Although I'm sure like others have mentioned, if we want it, there will be a ROM somewhere that has it.

Not going to lie I really do like the new lockscreen though.. It's sexy.

I miss the Sense widgets and the Facebook/twitter integration, but I still prefer other launchers purely because the HTC sense dock is completely useless.

I text more than I call people so I don't need a huge "phone" button taking up most of the dock; I need access to the things I actually use.

With Go Launcher EX I have phone/SMS/apps/gmail/browser on my dock, much more useful. If HTC added a more useful dock I would go back to sense in a heartbeat.

Yes I think LeeDroid got it right with the no sense patch.
Removed the launcher and widgets, keeps dialler, keyboard and contacts as well as facebook-contacts.
Best of both worlds IMHO

If you could customise the dock on the fly like you can with 3rd party launchers I'd be much happier staying with Sense - well as long as it was as quick as other launchers with widgets like LP.
