HTC Sense UI Not Coming to Google-Branded Phones, Sorry G1 & myTouch 3G

Posted on Tuesday, Jun 30, 2009 by Casey Chan

To clarify on our previous report that the amazing HTC Sense UI was going to be "available to on some other existing devices", those 'other existing devices' won't include the T-Mobile G1 or myTouch 3G. Sadly, HTC Sense will not be available for Google-branded phones and both the G1 and myTouch 3G are Google experience phones. The reasoning is due to licensing restrictions which just sucks for all parties.

So if you see that "with Google" branding on the back of your Android phone, sorry, you won't be able to enjoy the future that is HTC Sense. Rogers' Dream and Magic here we come!

Guess I will be holding out for the Androids that make SENSE.

 

I wonder what that means for those of us, with original/non-branded HTC Magic units.

 

If you're willing to take the chance, the official "SuperHERO" ROM is out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524744

Here's a video of it running on a G1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxQsRO8wljE

 

Oh, why such a sad note? If it won't be available officially, it does not mean it will not be available. I'm sure hackers at XDA developers will cook something up. As a matter of fact, they already did as the previous commenter has pointed out.

 

Actually the official SDK was released to the wild and Devs have cooked it already .... Supehero prior linked above it NOTHING in comparison to JACHero 2.0r6 (official build).

 

And where can we find that?! :-)

 

Great work guys. Keep it up!

Anybody knows the numbers of replica handbags in CA, I need to call them and get my bag repaired.
