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 Moto Droid is a much larger form factor. There is no comparison in that regard.

 

nowhere in this thread is "form factor" being mentioned. so..........?

 

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?

 

how do you turn off the sense UI and can you turn it on or off

 

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.

 

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

 

x2

Droiddoessense + 1 post = Epic fail

 

sense ui is a product of HTC!

 

ehh i thought everyone got along on this forum

 

Tried it.

I dont see any speed increase in menus, apps, ect.

Going back to Sense UI.

 

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.

 

this may be a dumb question, but what does it look like when sense UI is turned off?

 

it looks crappy.

 

It looks pretty much exactly like the Droid....

VS

 

i kinda feel like that may be cool...

 

I turned off Sense but I still had a black notification bar. How did you make yours white?

 

Since the Droid has been rooted, someone could install Eclair for Hero. I wonder how well that works.
