was debating of returning my eris b/c is was so laggy at some points. googled turning off sense ui. i tried it and i am getting a much better response from my phone now. even after a manual update of the OS, it was still laggy as before. if you don't mind not having sense, it is great. has anyone tried this? i haven't been running w/o sense for a while and about to go to bed, but i will try more apps tomorrow. don't know if this has been covered.
one of the main selling points to getting the eris over the droid is having the sense UI. if you don't want it, get a droid.
The fact that I have to explain this is telling. You said: Another main selling point is form factor, therefore, telling someone to get a Moto Droid instead of the Eris based on your "main selling point" comment is ridiculous as there are clearly other reasons to own an Eris besides Sense UI. A little clearer for you now?
Go to settings/applications/sense UI then clear defaults and force stop then hit the home button and choose Home when given the option. you can then set it as default if you want to. And yes you can turn it off or on.
another question it is harmful to turn off the sense UI also i can switch back and will be settins be the same
Is this more resource-effective than simply running the Home Switcher app to set the vanilla 1.5 as your default home? Even if your method squeezes more speed from the Eris, anyone considering this should download Home Switcher first because the vanilla 1.5 android is pretty blah, IMHO. Of course, your proprietary HTC apps are still working. People is still exactly the same and it runs in the background and gives you the same notifications.
If I had wanted a phone with a cramped dedicated kb and form factor that i hate, then I would have gotten a droid
im good on this, sense is worth the very nominal (and i have tried it) speed up that comes from not using it.
Droid allready does sense UI. Eris is only a nock off of the hero lol, Dont get me wrong good little phone but not in droids league sorry.
How does moto droid do sense ui? judging by your username, postcount, you may be just a t.....um.....well.....you know
Be nice guys. You're right, though, Droid does not have the SenseUI. There are themes that can make any stock Android device very much like SenseUI, though.
Since the Droid has been rooted, someone could install Eclair for Hero. I wonder how well that works.
