can you just have sense or just have stock android?

[dadsontech]

@lilmichael212 Sense is the default "wrapper" around android on HTC devices. You can turn sense off, and have just the base android UI, but you lose access to some of the nicer features, apps, and screens that sense offers you.

@dadsontech i meant to ask like can you have full sense like how sense is on the hero

[dadsontech]

@lilmichael212 SO this is the problem with how android handles the wrapper UI.

It seems as though each manufacturer, and each phone individually, has it's own customized version of the UI.

This makes it confusing, and a little frustrating, for those who like certain version of the Sense UI (like the Hero).

Now, there is a concept of profiles where you can make your screens have certain info on it (widgets, icons, backgrounds), but the basic version of the UI is still the same.
