Is HTC Sense UI worth the overhead?

would the phone run snappier... maybe a little. is SenseUI worth it.. in my opinion yes it is. you can always turn off SenseUI on your phone and see if you like it.

menu>settings>applications>manage applications>HTC Sense>clear data. then hit your home button and don't pick SenseUI. that gives you the standard 3 screen vanilla Android. remember, all those SenseUI widgets are no longer available to use.

OR

download the app called home switcher. this allows you to switch back and forth

 

I go in spurts about if I like it or not.... currently, I'm using it on the zen Rom and LOVE it.

 

that right there just seemingly reset my home screens to default. im on 2.1 official

 

I have seen lag with and with out Rosie/Sense.

I say the HTC Widgets make sense worthwhile.

Just my .02 sense

 

I don't really use any of the HTC widgets, and I also don't use 7 screens, so I've been switching from Helix and Launcher Pro

 

in my personal experience, and this phone definitely seems to give everyone some real varying results...my phone seems to lag worse without Sense. The same thing with stock 1.5 and with Fresh 2.1.1. everytime i disable sense, everything just seems to crawl.

 

I have no issues with Sense and like the widgets that it comes with. I feel fortunate that my phone has mostly dodged all the crazy, phone breaking "bullets" so to speak. Only one I really get is the dialer lag, and even that is manageable for me.

 

That's exactly what the first method he described does.

 

doesnt give me an option to select anything, just resets my home screens.

 

There's two "clear" buttons on the app info screen. I think you need to hit the first one "Clear Defaults", and not the second one "Clear Cache", the second one resets all your scenes.

 

yes you need to "clear defaults" not "clear data". if you clear data it will just reset your screens to factory icon placements. clearing the defaults and then pressing home button after will give you a choice of using HTC Sense or the regular HOME. so again, CLEAR DEFAULTS!

 

I've tried to clear defaults, but I can't click on the clear defaults button. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

If you are 2.1 you can't "turn off" Sense.

 

in other words you are screwed.
